[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nihs82:
Ordered and replaced new digitizer with ease, after some patience the operation relatively pretty simple as long as you have the right tools ( guitar pick and screw drivers )

after a few attempts of opening closing the case i again cracked the digitiser....

WARNING. TAKE IT VERY EASY WHEN HANDLING THE DIGITISER

Hope this helps, it can be done, as long as you are patient and easy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Do yourself a favor and buy a bad ESN nexus. Should be less than $100. Swap out entire screen assembly. That's what I did anyway super EASY.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nihs82:
Thanks for the Advice, will chekc for bad esn nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] britoso:
Attempted this, failed.

I did this with a hair dryer and that did not help much.

Its almost impossible to not break the second layer of glass. Great job gluing them together Samsung.

Update:

After destroying the LCD and Glass here are some photos.

The entire display assembly is available for around $60 on ebay.

Order of layers from the bottom:

Metal->Double sided tape->LCD->Double sided tape->Glass(digitizer)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sklks:
Same happened to me right now.. Just after I bought a lot of accessories in the last month..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] britoso:
I ordered just the LCD/glass off ebay (no metal frame) for $55 and it installed easily. Used 3M double sided tape to stick the new glass to the metal back.

Even though the specifications say AMOLED< the LCD screen worked fine.

The seller initially sent me the i515 (verizon) version with frame, The metal frame was different because of the different battery size. Luckily he paid for return shipping and sent the correct part.,

Its a good idea to test that the LCD connection to the motherboard works before putting it back together.

Video for Replacing Galaxy Nexus (i9250) Screen

Is there any way you can post a video of the process of fixing the Galaxy Nexus in specific? I broke my screen lens (not the digitizer) and really don't want to pay $150+ for a new one. This is the only phone I'm going to have until I'm in college (which is a long way off), so please help me.

Thank you and very appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drooff:
Hi - Sorry to hear about your screen. I didn't take any video when I did this, but Youtube might have something helpful - have a look there. My first thought when I saw your reply was "Serious? This thread is like a year and a half old. That was two phones ago for me." But then I thought that might be kind of prickish to say. So anyways, best of luck with your repair, be careful, go slow, and give yourself lots of time. No guarantees on the outcome, but hopefully it's good. Cheers!

Is there anyway to getoff glass from a bad display without breaking it nor the digitizer?

Sent with love [MENTION=887416]tap[/MENTION]a
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] britoso:
Its very hard to do, but possible. I just replaced the entire display assembly (make sure you get the correct one as the CDMA and GSM frames are different)

The price has increased to around $80 now on ebay.

Adhesive?

Hi there :)

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I just broke the glass lens on my GNex, and although I already have a newer phone I still want to repair the GN if possible without too much cost and hassle, and so I was happy to find this post.

I was even more happy to find out that the spare glass is still on sale on ebay :)

The adhesive isn't, however...

What kind of adhesive do I need here, and what did you type into ebay (or google, at that ;) to find the correct item?

Thanx an awful lot for your help!

Greetings & cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] britoso:
Try separating the Glass from the frame first. Of you're successful then but only the Glass on ebay.

Double sided tape may work too.

I have another gnex I need to fix and am thinking of soaking it in gas/wd40 first.

The Glass is cheaper but the full assembly is now about $85. A used gnex can be bought for $110
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] werewolfy:
I'm not sure if you were replying to my post (right above yours, probably not, but as there are no other newer answers... ;)

I was asking about the adhesive mentioned in the top post which is not available on ebay under the posted link.

Do you happen to know what kind of adhesive this is and where to purchase it?

On jb ROMs vs. Stock ROM? My reception indoors is horrible. And outside it drops sometimes to nothing then comes up back down. You just never know

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PhoenixBlitz:
I'm not sure if that's the phone's fault. Because I always get full bars unless im in a rural area with not much around. Even in basements I get 2-3 bars when my friend's have zero signal
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paniro187:
What modem you running
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deoxlar:
I just flashed to cm10,but I was using stock firmware all last week and I think reception is great both indoors and outdoors. I use to get no reception in certain elevators with my nokia and xperia play. With the Samsung, in those areas I get 3to4 bars.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PhoenixBlitz:
I'm on stock, so whatever that is, I'm using it. Although I can confirm that using JB roms (such as CM10) on and s3 has no effect because my friend has the identical model I do (Both of ours were locked to Rogers before we both unlocked them to use on Telus) and the signal is always the same
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paniro187:
Sometumes my bars drop to nothing and there is a black signal bars with grey out line and it will do that for a couple minutes then jump up to 4g or what ever reception I get at the time. Then out hers I'll get full bars. Sometimes I get no data at all just call with no internet. Maybe I got a NAD phone or something

Samsung W - Gingerbread 2.3.4

want to upgrade it to Jelly bean...

tq
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azhiekurosaki:
Samsung hasn't made any Jelly Bean for our galaxy W. It means, we cannot upgrade it via KIES. The only thing you can do is flashing custom ROMs like CM9. It should give you the ICS. CM10 is still in development which is Jelly Bean. It is not fully working yet so be patient for jelly bean.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
Thats true.

Usually samsung just release 1 firmware update for their device. Max 2. I mean update for android version not just update for baseband or value pack.

So dont expect more from samsung.

Its understannable, since they too often release new device.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] NEXUSBOY:
I would like to flash cm9..pls tel me cm9 is fully stable r not.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] azhiekurosaki:
It's so stable and the performance is even better than stock. The only thing you cannot use in CM9 is FM radio... Other than that works perfectly. You will love it, I bet it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
i just wanted to share this article for everyone to see!

http://privacy-pc.com/articles/bypassing-the-android-permission-model.html

what do you guys think about this? and about android as a whole (security wise)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] quick99si:
I wouldn't say that the permissions system is "completely flawed," though it does lack significantly in key areas. Some of the permissions would be better served if they were split into multiple sub-permissions (eg. phone ID), but I'm relatively content with the current status quo.

Additionally, using Facebook, or heck, a mobile device on it's own even, means that you already thrown away any claims to your own data and privacy. While there is always room to better the system, it is important to remember that we've all signed clauses with a bold BUYER BEWARE heading. It is the user's job to take additional steps to secure all that, rather than waiting on Google to clean up their act IMO.

If you have any concerns about privacy on an Android device, I highly suggest using this app LBE Security Master http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1422479 (there's a hint of irony there, as the app is from China with root and internet access). That one works on JB unlike the previous released with worked up to ICS.
[Desire General] simon12:
Is it just me or has anyone else had an issue with L2SD when Swype is installed? I have just reinstalled it with a new installer (problems d/l Swype with the one I had) and once installed, neither the installer or Swype Beta show up in any of the L2SD lists of apps, although they are in the app drawer and under Manage Apps.

Also, Internal memory drops significantly when installed. Now that may seem obvious given what I have so far described, but when uninstalling both items, L2SD messages that it has removed them from the SD card.

Plus it seems a little bit laggy and has been updated since I last had it.

Very strange?

Anyone manage to install Swype to your SD card ext partition and not seen a large drop in internal memory?
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Instead of Link2SD, you could use Mounts2sd.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19262846&postcount=1
[Desire General] simon12:
If I installed that, would it accept the apps I already have on the sd-ext or would I need to move them again? The only reason I ask is because there's not enough space on the phone to move them all to internal memory before moving them back again.
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
It should, but always do a nandroid backup.

Are S3 users missing out too much?

New Gallery with 3D views. Ability to drag and drop photos into albums.

Camera

Slow/Fast motion

Best Face

Low light shot

Multi-Windows

Smart Rotation

Popup Note, Popup Browser

Quick Glance

Screen Recorder

[*]S-Pen required features

Air view

Easy Clip

S Note, S Planner, S Voice, Email with hand-writing

Photo Note

Paper Artist

Quick Command

Formula Match

Shape Match

Idea Visualizer

S Pen Keeper

I think there are even more new small features that I didn't put in list. It’s understandable that samsung didn't put those S-Pen features in our S3 however it’s actually still can be done for some of them. But S3 hardware is able to support the other features and Samsung should have put them in official JB ROM to further enhance our experience. Do you think they will ever come to S3 officially?
[Galaxy S III General] Nocturney:
The new gallery and camera with the slow and fast motions are available, smart rotation and popup browser got ported as well. And paper artist can be installed with no problems.

Do your research before posting.

I'm not asking for ports and that's also why I'm posting under general.

nice thread was planning to make one but was 2 lazy :P thanks.... soon wil b ported here.. we already hav cam, smart rotation, gallery here
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Well the Note 2 was only released a few months after the S3 so you would expect these extra features , there's nothing really "revolutionary" that the Note 2 has that the S3 doesn't,i quite like the gallery in the Note 2 there was a flashable zip doing the rounds but no matter how many times i tried i couldn't get it tio work yet it was working fine when i flashed Dragon ROM (or was it Android Revolution) which had it included already.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
ya true ...we already have

1. new gallery

2. new camera

3. smart rotation

all ported..

only thing left is multi view ;)
[Galaxy S III General] galen2:
The note 2 gallery´s that i found all have one bug, when set wallpaper from tw give fc

Anyone have a gallery that works 100%?
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
As soon as I get my device I'm flashing Siyah, then will probably stick to stock, Flash new Camera and gallery and some other Note II stuff.

Either way Phones4u have both phones on display side by side and the Note II has the advantage with software, I just hope Samsung don't be stuck up and decide to bring most of the features to the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] spamtrash:
If it is about other Samsung devices, and its capabilities which I'd like to have onboard my S3, I would mention 8GB RAM, 1GB Nvidia graphic, and 750GB HDD which I have on my Samsung laptop. It has simcard slot, so can be used as the phone, either.

Guys, RLY? While I can understand that someone would compare 9305 with 9300 because both are phones, calling for Note 2 seems a bit strange...

ups - almost forget to ask that someone should port 5x50W audio output from my Samsung Home Cinema system :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] x92:
Don't confused between hardware and software. Software is flexible while hardware is not. I said no point having s-pen features in s3 but not the other.
[Galaxy S III General] lude219:
So the note 2 has the same camera assembly as s3? if it is, that is a bummer.
[Galaxy S III General] NuK3DoOM:
That is what is nice of Android. Everything ported. Devs are awesome!
[Galaxy S III General] stfudude:
Underlined are what ported already. Bolded are what not ported yet. I think what most of us really want from Note 2 is Multi Window. We could care less about S Pen stuffs. I know you're talking about Samsung themselves giving it to us (instead of ports from amazing devs), but don't you remember the old days when Samsung refused to give ICS update to Galaxy S I9000? At the end of that device's life span, Samsung pushed an update giving many Galaxy S2 features like Touchwiz 4.0 including a few others. So, my money is on Samsung giving those features to S3 users. But the real question is when.
[Galaxy S III General] x92:
For the camera, if I'm not wrong only 1/3 of features is ported. Wasn't S3 too early to get value pack treatment? There should be one more android update. I understand what you mean, we might only get them when near eol.
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
People keep saying Smart Rotation is ported, but I can't find it anywhere. Any links please? That seems to be the only useful feature Samsung implemented since Galaxy S1.

We won't have to worry that much if samsung provide it in official rom.

good to have lots of option

great work
[Android Apps and Games] shadowch31:
Just downloading now, will report back shortly. Also thanks for sharing.

Edit:

Installed and first run let it find capture methods.

No root 2

No root 3

Root 2

Root 3

Root 4

Root 7

Root 8

No adjustments needed.

Unfortunately no method worked all pictures were distorted. Ran Screenshot UX Trail to test and worked great.

All info in sig is correct and upto date.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
That's weird, what device do you have? And what Android version?

And could you maybe post the distorted screenshot? And did you have root?

If you had root some screenshot method should work.

Other people who tried have a different experience?
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
My apologies, I just saw you meant your signature is up to date.But could you maybe send the distorted screenshots? If you run the test you can go to /mnt/sdcard/screenshotultimate/auto/ where the test screenshots per method are located.

And shadowch31, could you try whether this app also gives distorted screenshots?

com.androidscreenshotapptool.free

Did anyone else have the distorted screenshots? Because I can't reproduce it on my devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
No more people who use it and have feedback? I would really appreciate it :)
[Android Apps and Games] tuananh1589:
Just tested your app on my rooted N7000 running ICS 4.0.4. I tried 5 trigger methods: overlay icon, shake, service icon click, audio, power connects and everything works fine :p, but it always captures Superuser notification so I have to disable notification in Superuser.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
You can solve that in two ways.

- As you mention yourself, disable superuser notification

- OR, you can change the capture method. First, you can run the auto detect method for detecting the available capture methods and see which ones have the superuser notification on top.

But if you take one screenshot with "Root 3" after that you can pick "No Root 3" and no superuser is required. Root 3 start a small temporary service running with root permissions which can take screenshots.

Let me know whether that works.

Did other people try it as well? Feedback is really welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
We just updated Screenshot Ultimate with a faster screenshot method so less distortions. We also fixed a lot of bugs and released it on Play!

Download the free version here:

Or the paid version here:

Feedback is welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Will try this out shortly.

Looks interesting
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Thanks, I would appreciate it if you could post here what you think of it.

Also, since the app has just been released on Play I would really appreciate it if everyone could post a review on Play, we really need some reviews :) Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] thesparky007:
just bought the pro version and tried it out, i like that it has several methods to capture but I wish it was more intuitive to use...

also price is a bit high for a screen shot app

[Android Apps and Games] atuladhikari:
"Temporary promotion!

Everyone who replies to this thread before 2012-10-29 can buy Screenshot Ultimate Pro and afterwards PM me and I will refund the payment, so you will get the paid app for free!"

Marketing gimmik?

Downloading the free version. 4$ seems to much for just taking screenshots...

Will give a review in the evening...
[Android Apps and Games] thesparky007:
the more i use it the more confused i am getting... gui is very confusing and i dont understand what happens when a screenshot is taken...
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Great to hear it works ok. Could you let me now what capture methods are available? And maybe post some screenshots.

The reason I decided on doing this small promotion is to get some more feedback :) So if you want you can buy the pro version and get the full price refunded to your account.

About the app though, does it work on your phone? And what do you think of it? I'm looking forward to reading your review :)

Well, that should not happen, I thought the app was designed to be used intuitive. Could you explain a bit more on what you are confused about?

Here some explanations:

- When you take a screenshot it will get saved default to /mnt/sdcard/screenshotultimate/ (can be changed on settings page) and a window will show where you can edit, share or preview the taken screenshot.

- When you open the app you can press the menu button on the start screen (or go to settings > trigger methods) to enable/disable trigger methods. A trigger method will give you the possibility to take a screenshot on different triggers.

Let me know what's unclear so I can try to help you or maybe make the app easier to use (that's what feedback is for).

So does anyone else use the app or has an opinion on it? The more feedback I get the easier I can make the app :) Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mushtafa:
Sounds like a good app, I'll download and have a play later tonight
