[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
If you friend doesn't ROOT his phone, he will never BRICK his phone.

However, if he wants to ROOT his phone or if his phone is already rooted, then he must flash a custom kernel e.g Siyah, speedmod, Dorimanx or dream kernel immediately

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
You can check if your EMMC chip can be bricked ('eMMC check' app from market) if it is known as INSANE, than it is highly possible to brick it.

But...

You will probably brick INSANE device when perform wipe in CWM recovery on stock 4.0.4 kernel.

If you use stock 3e recovery with stock kernel (even with root) or even CWM but with custom kernel with disabled CAP_ERASE function (all actual custom kernels I know) than your phone is safe.

If you are not sure:

1. Use stock firmware without any modyfications or

2. Use stock firmware with root only but stay with 3e recovery or

3. Use stock firmware with custom kernel (root and CWM included) - optimal sollution or

4. Use custom rom with custom kernel included (I'm still not sure about CF-Root kernel becouse it is almost stock kernel, I don't know there is cap_erase disabled or not - in case you want to use it with CWM) or

5. Use 4.0.3 with... anything you like (3e, CWM, root, stock, custom, dualboot...).

YES IT WILL BREAK UR PHONE , got mine broken last week ,and just got it back from samsung yesterday and it cost me 240 € !!!

just get into download mode and flash siyah kernel.tar via odin , then downgrade to 4.0.3 , and ofcourse dont think about the word WIPEwhile on stock kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoftVIP:
my phone works fine Cmiui 4.0.4 now put 4,1,1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obada111:
Thank you allllllllllllllllll ^_^

really thank you

I think the best idea is to downgrade for 4.0.3 because the device is not mine :D

But now if I want to downgrade for 4.0.3 do I need to flash a custom kernel first??!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. If you want to downgrade, the best way is to flash a stock 4.0.3 firmware via Odin.

2. Alternatively, you can flash it via a pre-rooted ICS 4.0.3 firmware via CWM recovery after flashing a custom kernel

Let me know your preferred option

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoftVIP:
yes i recommend Siyah-s2-v4.1.1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obada111:
Now OK...

I want to flash the rom via Odin but do I need to flash a custom kernel before I flash the 4.0.3 rom

Or I can flash it immediately???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
No. You don't need to flash a custom kernel first if you want to flash through Odin.

Just download a suitable 4.0.3 firmware, read flashing instructions, and flash through Odin

[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
Make sure you're on the latest fp5 update. Also make sure you have LTE turned on in the wireless menu (as opposed to just CDMA).

If you've done that and there's no difference, try a reboot. If still no difference, you may want to ask Verizon for a replacement. Personally, however, I would demand it ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chocoburger:
If you check the "IM PISSED" thread, I had the same problem. I got sick of it and called Verizon to have a replacement. We'll see how it goes.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Hi,

I received my Nexus 7 replacement an hour ago. It is sadly a C70K, was expecting a C80K. My brand new device has the screen lift issue.

If I place my Nexus 7 in front of my eyes and look after the screen (from right to left), I can't see the grey corner, but I can from the left to right. Well the right side of my Nexus 7 is lifted a little. What should I do :S Ask again a replacement? Just saying, i'm not opening my device to fix it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarofozz:
Wow seriously? Is it affecting your usability? Leave it man. Suck it up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Unsure if I should leave it. I got it an hour ago, who knows if in 2 weeks it will be worse. Imagine if my screen break, it is not covered by warranty. :S

I would replace it as it might get worse or if you want try one of the fix it yourself threads :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Damn.. i just bought mine hours ago.. its a c80k and its got the smallest screen lift on the left bottom im guessing that is the typical area? :( hope it doesnt get worse... might just suck it up but if it gets worse.. who do i call for a replacement? Asus? Google? Bought it at Wallmart :S
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rsmin:
I think you have 15 days to take it back to Walmart. I got my c80 from them and it was perfect.

Thanks ill look at it a little closer.. becuase it seems very miniscule and im not too picky about things but if this is something that will cause issues later on.. i want to squash it now. Sucks becuase i already rooted it and custom ROM'd it up its all geared up for use.. :mad:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Yeah i'm scared that it gets worse :'( Can I ask google for a replacement while they didn't receive my previous one? I mean, this one is a replacement and my old device is still in front of me.

I would try to fix it myself if it wouldn't void the warranty but it is not the case.

If u pass ur nail over the glass to the edge. Do you feel the edge? Or ur nail fall down.

Visually u can see less than 0.05mm un precision which is in my point of view too picky. This is how we adjust mechanic with simple visual technics. Using high precision tool

I can see mine is not adjusted to0.05mm but it s impossible to have a prefect glass totally flat on a series.

On a 1 to 5 cm Edge you can be more picky, but precision become less precise on bigger distance due to temperature dilatation, mounting technic...

My glass has maybe 0.1mm to 0.2mm difference on right top left side and middle right side. Top and bottom are leveled that visually I can not see anything.

This is plastic and glass for Pete sake....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
The screen lift is still there, you just don't see it well. If you open the cover you will that Asus "fixed" the lift by removing 2 screws, that's not a fix. The lift still shows but is very unnoticeable. I'm trying to get a new set of flat screws and fix it myself the proper way, The Philips screws are too long and ****up everything by pushing the bezel into wrong direction. Here how mines looks:

Right side, proper with the bezel sticking out nice:

Left side, with 2 "missing" screws and bezel misaligned due to lack of pressure:

Asus ****ed up nice on that one, ridiculous fix.

I just got mine a few hours ago, wasn't home when it arrived. I had a C60K but now its C70K returned it for screen lift, flicking screen and headphone jack being defected. Two of my problems were fixed but the one that wasn't was the screen lift. I open up the back and see that three, not two but three of the screws missing. GG. what the heck is Asus doing?! I will be sending this back..

Edited: So I just put back in the back and the screen isn't lifted anymore..also the sponge feeling of it when I press down which caused the ripples on screen is gone. Did I just fix it by taking off the cover and putting it back on haha.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I was freaked out the first time I opened mine. Once you do you find that it is no different then most battery doors on phones. Its not made to be unopenable. It just pops off. If they made a little indent like on my Galaxy Nexus, it would be easier to pop open a corner at first. A credit card won't work because the edge is flat. You need a guitar pick or a plastic spoon.

I used the washer trick and this is the real fix. You basically grab a medicine pack with the push out plastic/foil. Poke a hole with a safety pin then cut a circle around it. It needs to be very small. Bam washer.

I used 2 where its really bad (shown in the picture above) and one on the screw below it. It pulls the screen in tight.

Mine looked worse then picture above and looks like the image of the right side after.

All you do is take out the screw, pop the plastic washer over the screw, and put it back. Took literally like 3 minutes. Just make 3 washers, pop the back, zip, zip, done.

[HTC One S] Prod1702:
Ok so the problem i am having is i am unable to get wifi to work without the phone saying error next to wifi. My One S has the lastest radio and HBOOT 1.06. So i understand that i do not need to flash the boot.img from fastboot, but i still do to make sure that it is flashing ok. That does not fix the problem. I have even used the stock T-MO nanodroid to go back to stock rom and i still flash the boot.img file from fastboot still not wifi. Everything on the phone works fine but wifi. After the phone boots up wifi is already on and it does scan and see networks. When i try to connect to one it doesn't connect, if i toggle wifi off and turn it back on again it gives me a error when turning wifi on. Only thing i am wondering is, i do not have a SIM CARD in the phone right now since i do not have a micro sim right now. Does the phone need a SIM CARD in it for wifi to work. I spent 3 hours last night flashing different roms and boot.imgs trying to get wifi to work. All with errors still. Anything ideas right now would be great.

edit: forgot to add when i flash the boot.img in fastboot i always get a finished with no errors as if the boot.img is flashing fine.
[HTC One S] Krane_Guy:
wifi problem

I just pulled my sim from my One s and found i had no problem with the wifi connection. What kind of error is it, do you have any code?
[HTC One S] Prod1702:
No code. If I do a full wipe the wifi scans for a network sees them but does not connect. Then it will turn off on its own and just say error next to the on and off button. It does it with every rom and kernel combo I have tried. Even going to back to the full stock rom it does it. I know the kernel is flashing since it shows the right kernel under about.
[HTC One S] HidaKureku:
i've encountered the same issue, but only when i flashed an overclocked kernel. and when i flashed the kernel back the error went away. have you tried unrooting?
[HTC One S] Prod1702:
I was looking for a full stock unrooted rom and but couldn't find anything other then a nanodroid of stock rooted. I was thinking of just flashing the ruu and seeing if that fixes it. Not sure at this point because I have tried every kernel and rom all which do not work so far. I have also formated everything thinking maybe something was left behind no go as well. I know wifi works since I used the phone for a few days before I Dev unlocked it and rooted it. I also setup the phone on wifi with no sim card when I pulled it out of the box at the start. Something happen after the unlock and rooting part. Could updating the hboot help at all.
[HTC One S] Prod1702:
I fixed it. I flashed the TMO 1.84 RUU and wifi is working again. It updated the HBOOT to 1.09 and everything is stock with working wifi. I am starting all over to see if i can get it working with a rom as well now.

Hi,

I got a Galaxy Nexus GSM with Wind mobile on a $40/month plan, which will pay off the phone in 3 years. They said that they don't have any kind of extended warranty for the hardware, in spite the fact that there is only 1 year manufacturer warranty.

So then what would happen if the phone has hardware troubles after one year? Does other brands have a better policy regarding hardware warranty?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can buy a 3rd party insurance plan but that's your only option. They cover it for 1 year and that's it. Any issue after that isn't covered by the manufacturer or carrier.

1 year manufacturers warranty is completely standard for most OEMs.

Except Google doesn't sell directly to Canada...

And the Google Play Store GNex has the same "issue". It has a 1 year manufacturers warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
At least he wouldn't be locked into a contract and have to buy a new one if it breaks.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I don't get your logic. After 1 year, with either phone, if it breaks he has to buy a new one at full price... They have the same warranty.

But again, Google doesn't sell the Galaxy Nexus in Canada.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
WindMobile won't accept you return the phone aftr 14 days or after 30 minutes talk time had been used. Il I cancel the contract, I must pay off the remaining of the phone. Let's imagine the phone is broken after 1.5 years (18 months). With WindMobile Canada, I must pay close to $400 - 18 x $4 =$328 if I break the contract. And that on top of the $100 I paid upfront when signing the 3Y contract. They say no contract on their ads but actually their system works exactly like a 3Y contract.

Never try buying phone upfront + going without contract. May be I should try this in the future. Even if I buy from Google, do I have an option with extended warranty? If not then then that the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
If it breaks you wouldn't have to break your contract, you'd just have to find a phone new or used somewhere, and pop in your sim card.

Sounds like you kinda got screwed though, $100 with a 3 year contract? I paid $35 for mine on Bell, and I get a new phone every 2 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well Google doesn't sell to Canada so....

But anyway, even if they did, they don't offer an extended warranty. You get the same 1 year manufacturer's, and then you can buy 3rd party insurance if you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Yeah, I just had my mom get it free on Verizon with a 2 year contract. That's the more expensive 32gb lte version as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
Thanks for the tip. I never looked at Bell as I used to hear that the big 3 are ripoffs. I am one Day1 with Wind, largely within the limits to cancel. I have checked Bell offers and got a Live chat with a Rep. They cannot even match the $38 plan that I was having with Fido (just cancelled today, paid $100 early termination fee for the remaning 9 months). Fortunately Wind has a promotion, the Galaxy Nexus is free with $40 plan.

In anyway, it's way off topic here. The post is about hardware warranty so let's not discuss about phone plans.
