[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
From what I know of rooting, my warranty's void by now. (It's like the tenth time I've rooted it)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
if you get back on stock rom, wipe everything - samsung won't know ;)

So my question remains :D

I would try figuring it out via google searches etc - but if you can't you could always send it into samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
After searching around, there wasn't much which solved the problem. I could send it to samsung, I'm a little weary on the process though
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
I've had myself send in mine (for a screen issue I thought I had) and a friend who recently sent his S3 in (aka: HDtechvideo on youtube)

Up to you really, but if you can't find any other solutions - that would probably be your best bet...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
Flashing stock gingerbread 2.3.6 so that they don't start crying about custom roms and warranties. I'll probably get my friend to do it for me, I really don't have the time anymore
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
flash an official ROM, and fully wipe it, SD card and all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
Official ROM meaning...? Is that via Kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
Meaning JW1 wasn't official, but JW4 was.

Via ODIN.

You can follow my guides i got on youtube.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
Flashed the ROM and it's running well. I've left everything as it should be, with some minor changes to the settings (brightness, sound etc). I'm assuming there's some sort of cost of repairing the phone or is that covered by the warranty? (which I'm pretending to have).

Also, how would I get it sent off anyway?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
If it has warranty - you call samsung up, to arrange a pick-up or a drop off at a local samsung repair centre.

Just say you were updating it via kies, and for some reason you can no longer make calls.

Don't mention IEMI or anything ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
And they'll fix it? No questions asked? No fee?

I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestions
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
Questions: I gave your reply :P

Fee: Warranty would cover it

Hit the Thanks buttons :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
Samsung have decided to do nothing about my phone so I think it's safe to say that I'm screwed (again).

However, my mum's upgrading from her Curve to an S3 and she seems to prefer the Blackberry so I'll take ownership of the S3. But I will have to wait upto December until that happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
Why did they not do anything?

I mean how could they not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
I emailed them and I might have made the mistake of telling them that I had the phone unlocked and then they said the usual crap, "warranty's void, blah blah blah". I'm really getting sick of samsung's support services.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
Locked or unlocked. How does that matter to Samsung? Call them again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
Let me quote the email:

Based on the information provided it appears that you have had the phone unlocked unofficially, possibly through a high street store?

These unlock methods are not permanent and can cause an IMEI mismatch where the phone will not connect to any network, and will void warranty I am afraid.

As the phone has been altered we can not offer assistance and can only advise on visiting a local service centre for a chargeable repair.

We have walk-in service centres all over the country that can perform repairs and upgrades while you wait. Just bring your device, with the proof of purchase to confirm ownership, and one of our qualified technicians will be happy to help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallydubbedHD:
what did you tell them...?

I did tell you to tell them nothing...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
I told them everything you said to tell them, except the part about unlocking the phone. I'm not quite sure why I mentioned that but that's what they focused on.

Anyway, I managed to get another email sent under an alias and another email account I have lying around. I'll call them up to arrange a pick-up if the email fails.

By the way, all I said this time was that I was updating to XXJW4 and now I can't call or text. I also said that I was hoping to send it in so that I can get it repaired.

Anything I missed?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nanoxy:
Hi,

My Xperia S suddenly quit vibrating at all, not for (text) msg's, incoming mail/sms etc, and haptic feedback for the 3

bottom keys doesnt work as well as that for the keyboard. Yesterday for some reason it stopped, but after a while it

returned. However, atm there's no vibrating at all again, which is annoying since I dont like to check everytime if I have a

msg or not.

I did not turn it off myself, and checking the settings it's still on. Furthermore nothing happened to the phone in terms of

mechanical damage. I did not recently (last few days) install new apps, but updated to firmware 6.1.A.2.45 5 days ago.

I dont think that has anything to do with the problem though, since the problem occurred only yesterday.

Phone software is just the original stock software.

Anyone recognizing this problem and perhaps has an idea on how to solve it? I'd be very thankful...

Thanks in advance,

Nanoxy
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HooLIMAN87:
Send it to Sony to repair vibration. ;)

Sent from my LT26i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nanoxy:
Hm actually I hoped it could be some software bug... I wouldnt be happy to

send it to sony etc... too much trouble :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nanoxy:
Isnt there some code I can dial to check if vibration works at all? I think I read somewhere about it but cant find it now...

And, if I use "back up and repair" function of pc companion, and repair using a back up of lets say 1 week ago, will I lose any data?

I mean of course I lose things I did this week, but for the rest are there things I should know before trying this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naaney:
Same here ever sinceci updated to ics ( any chance you live in belgium too)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nanoxy:
The Netherlands, so close...

But well, total reset + restore with back up does not help... I find it hard to believe that its a hardware problem though...

how's that possible for no reason :s
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naaney:
mine worked on gingerbread so it's not a hardware prob
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nanoxy:
Yeah mine worked all the time, but stopped working at a moment not close to an update...

besides, vibration is not AT ALL working... I cant even force it to vibrate after installing some

of those sad "vibrator" apps or whatever... I'm afraid the only thing I can do is let it repair, which totally sucks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naaney:
Maybe repair with compagion
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noim:
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*

Then go to service test... Then find vibrator option and check if it's working properly...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nanoxy:
Yeah thats what I meant, but... if I choose vibration at "service tests" it wont work...

does that mean its just 'broken'?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ojessie:
Got the same problem with my Acro S ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lamensterms:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelpmeImTired:
Hello! I'm a noob here for now, but I hope I can change that.

I will own an Xperia Play soon.

(EDIT)If it helps: It will be an Xperia Play in White. I read that it may be R800i... don't know what's meant and what differences are. (Because there is R800x, R800a...)

I found out, that you can install ROMS, and do a lots of stuffs (well, it's Sony) if you flash it or something...

My question:

After searching the Board for how to flash it, i realized that I don't know so much about the Xperia Play and where I should begin.

I ask you, how do I flash it, what about the ROMs and what should I know about it, I mean, what does this flashing give to me? (I know about the risks since I'm hacking and flashing PlayStation Consoles...) Is there more things I can do then with it?

Thank you in advance! Any help is good for me. :)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otonieru:
U can flash custom kernel and custom rom to PLAY

For kernel, it normally will give u more freedom to play with you device cpu speed and some tweaks related to it (like i/o and else) some kernel also bring support to more advanced setup option for your device

To flash custom kernel u will need unlocked bootloader.

As custom rom, i believe u will understand what it can do by browse through development section.. :)

Normally we flash the rom via CWM recovery (which normally come together with custom kernel)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelpmeImTired:
If I understand right, I have found in this Wiki (where I looked for some Answers) a Link to a bootloader unlocker (incl. Guide) and I should follow all the steps. Is it important to know, which version I have?

What about this CWM recovery? And where do I get this custom kernel?

I know, I'm noob. Hope I get some more answers. I want to "unlock" my phone (which I received today (AWESOME HAPPY :D) ) as soon as possible ^^

I saw awesome THEMES for that phone and want to apply them.

Getting the Custom Kernel to my phone will give me access to install games the so called illegal way? You may know what I mean... after getting the software just installing it and the phone doesn't .. you know what I mean.

Thank you!

My phone thinks it's a tablet, from what I can tell. And the screen can't handle it, so it stays blank. From the second I hit the power button, the backlight turns on, and the phone boots up, but the screen is completely blank and the touchscreen is non-functional.

The first time this happened was when I let the battery drain all the way, but after pulling the battery many times, charging for a while, and booting several times, it went back to normal. This most recent time I have pulled the battery tons of times, booted up plugged in, not plugged in, and anything else I can think of. The battery is actually fully charged. But still blank screen (except for the backlight).

Androidscreencast shows a single image of a tablet interface, but I can't send any commands, mouse doesn't work, can't unlock, etc. I'm running unofficial AOKP, and tablet mode is not a feature of that ROM as far as I know. I have done a complete wipe, reformat all, fresh flash of a newer version of the ROM in between blank screens, so I don't think a bad flash or the ROM in general is the problem. Any ideas?

[HTC EVO 3D] soldierforchrist2:
Are you on a nightly build of AOKP? Where did you get your ROM download from? It looks like you have a Jelly Bean build, so I'm guessing it's not anything stable.
[HTC EVO 3D] generosity21:
It's Mazda's AOKP JB rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831841 It's actually quite stable for everybody in the thread.

I'm back in business for now, just kept battery popping, waiting, charging, rebooting, and finally I got my screen back, it's back in regular phone mode. But I am now deathly afraid of rebooting, because I could lose my screen. :)

Thanks for the reply
[HTC EVO 3D] soldierforchrist2:
That's so odd... Yeah, it seems like a good ROM. I'd probably be using it if a few more features were working. If you're interested, you might check out this CM10 ROM based on Agrabren's work. I'm using it now and it works pretty well so far:

[HTC EVO 3D] generosity21:
Thanks for the tip, I may give that a try. Not sure if the ROM is the problem, or bad hardware, or what. When the screen won't come on, I can't even use the recovery or the boot loader. :P
[HTC EVO 3D] generosity21:
Ok, sorry to bring this back to life. I'm dead again, and I've battery pulled/rebooted 50-100 times today to no avail. The touch screen actually does work, but nothing displays except through Androidscreencast, where I can see a very strange tablet interface which now has no notifications bar (it did before, see previous attached image). Can't launch any apps, and the buttons at the bottom do nothing.

So... I was trying to find a way to do a complete wipe, partition all (except SD card), and flash a new ROM all via ADB/shell commands. Is this possible? I couldn't find anything helpful on Google. As always, thanks in advance.
