Why a new thread?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 2fuss50:
Not to be rude or something, but the bar is just made of plastic, so it will scratch.

For me, a phone is something that i'm using several times a day. I'm taking it with me to every place i go and treat or mistreat it according to my current condition. Every f. day.

So yes, if i look closely, there are scratches.

And no, i dont think yo will be able to polish them away.

You might be able to replace the thing altogether, there's a dissasembly guide floating around here at xda.

My personal advice would be to just deal with it. Its not worth a second thought, just use the time to enjoy your life :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JojoSteez:
Hello,

So I have an issue. I dropped my phone the other day and cracked the screen. The screen also does not turn on anymore. I received my insurance replacement today and have rooted it and am in the process of setting it all back up again. I have replaced the phone before and used the TeamEpic unroot to unroot and reset the counter when I did it last time. It seems that we have to use triangle away now to reset the counter. (Or am I mistaken, it's been a while since I've had to reset) I don't have access to the screen but the phone is functional. I can ODIN back to stock, but I am not sure how I can reset the counter and unroot without the screen. Search only shows results from last year. I believe unrooting and returning to stock shouldn't be an issue. My question is how to reset the counter. Any help?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Hi guys,

I would really appreciate some expert advise on my screen.

It has some horizontal lines/banding running through it, near the bottom of the screen is worse, and it's worse at lowest brightness setting but is still there at 100% brightness.

Hopefully you can see them in the picture although they don't actualy look as bad in the photo as they do in real life!

I took it into the place I purchased it from and one guy told me it was my fault because I have it in my pocket all day and where I sit down and my jeans go tight it has damaged/bent the screen. I find this crazy as I don't even were tight jeans, I skateboard to and from work and actually wear quite loose clothing. Anyway where else am I supposed to keep my phone?

And another guy in the same store told me that it isn't covered under warranty because this is just something that happens with SAMOLED screens and it's something you have to live with.

I know 2 people with S2's and their screens are perfect........

Does anyone else have this issue on their screen?

Is it a normal characteristic of SAMOLED screens?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers guys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I dont know but I dont have that-my screens perfect.

From what I see its a faulty screen and Id send it to Samsung to honour their warranty.

The screen shold be faultless for the duration of the warranty period ie the last day the screen should be like the first day.

And Id have given that repair guy a slap.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
It's not normal. You should send it in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Thanks for the response guys. I guess I'll just have to persist and not take no for an answer.

The only thing that concerns me is the terrible QC on devises these days.....what on earth is going on?

If I send this back for a repair there is nothing to say I won't get a new screen with another defect, maybe a yellowish tint or some dead pixels.

I have been reading about other issues on I9100 screens and there are several.

I think it's terrible that today when we are buying a device we have to come to a site like this and research possible defects before we buy....surely this isn't right!

I was wanting to buy a Nexus 7 but after the screen issues I've read about I don't think I will.

I was also looking at buying an i9300, same thing, there are so many defects that you could come across.

When spending this sort of money on a device I really don't think this is acceptable, yet companies are getting away with it.

I'm not sure what can be done but I hope something changes and QC improves.

Right now I'm stuck with an S2 with a defective screen and I'm weighing up weather this defect is more bearable than maybe getting a new screen with a different defect.

Come on Samsung........,Sort your S**T out!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWalkop:
I'd just like to ask about what screen issues? I'm fairly sure all of those quality issues with the screen have been sorted out by now, regarding lift etc. Someone in my family owns a Nexus 7 and it is the smoothest performing Android tablet that I've ever seen, even more so than my TF300 that I'm typing this on (although I now have a custom ROM on it that works very quickly). The screen density is great, no lift that I can notice, and overall it is a powerhouse of a tablet!

As for the rest of the build...I'm shocked by the quality. Its extremely solid for a plastic-backed device. It almost feels like metal its so tough, although it is still soft-to-the touch (absolutely no flex, though. Zero. Zip. Just soft to the touch as said)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I was just over at the nexus 7 thread and the first 2 stickies in the general section are dedicated to problems, kinda put me off.

By the sounds of it your family member got lucky with their N7.

Just go to the N7 forum and have a read, the problems still aren't fixed in the latest batch.

Anyway this is kinda off topic so best to discuss in the N7 forum.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Theyll probably just load stock 4.0.4 onto it-that was their attempt to fix my wifes overheating/freezing s2.

I would email samsung directly and put it back.And dont settle for any half arsed repair,make sure your satisfied.Only downside is the time the phone is away from you cos its an inconvenience.

They also like to get out of warranty with the usual "water damaged" excuse.

On a side note,they locked horns with me-and lost.Bought a phone from a catalogue company(the overheating one),wasnt happy so bought a note,complained and the £450 for the s2 was refunded,and the girl told me "to destroy the phone" rather than sending it back.

Loaded rootbox/dk and its perfect.Gave it to my son just to use for shooting videos.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Yeah that's what I thought they might do, I don't care what firmware they put on it I'll just restore my CWM back up when I get it back.

I hope they don't leave that diagnostics box thing on the screen though, that sounds like right mission to have to remove.

In fact the guy in the shop I bought it from said a factory reset would fix it, the muppet, It is clearly a faulty screen.

Mine was having some overheating issues too when I first bought it and I took it in a week after purchase and he said there's nothing I could do because I had installed a custom ROM, I hadn't, it was Go Launcher I installed. Just goes to show how much this guy knows!

I actually bought this phone on 14th March with ICS installed straight out of the box, which was weird, it was obviously a very early release (LP2) and was why the phone was over heating.

Overheating is normally a kernel/ROM issue so your very lucky you got to keep your S2. Score! :)

Hopefully if I return it they'll realise it IS a faulty screen and just replace it, like I said though it's a bit of a gamble with S2 screens it seems.

I just don't think issues like these should be this common on expensive, high end devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
I keep my eye on most hardware problems and Ive seen a lot more successes (screens)than failures....prob 85% happy.

Make sure no traces of rooting etc is on your phone when sending it back.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I think I'll bite the bullet and part with my S2 for 2 weeks while it's repaired :(

If I'm wanting to remove all traces of root etc I was planning to:

Boot in recovery and then format cache, system, data and internal storage. Then flash my countries latest stock firmware package.

Is that all I need to do?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankStealth:
Dont know abou you guys, but from what i've read Super AMOLEDs do get burn-ins.

I played poker on my sgs2 really long, and now the cards are burnt into the screen. I have yellow tint in the middle of the screen, looking like 5 playing cards. Also the place where the statusbar is, shows blue tint on completly white background.

Do you have any app that matches your screen faulty pixels? Maybe keyboard or something? I have an app called Super Manager and with that i can make the whole screen white, grey, black, and RGB, so you could further inspect it.

Let us know if warranty will cover the burn ins, or if there's some problems... good luck with unrooting, oh and dont forget to reset the custom rom/kernel counter with triangle away.

GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajstorSpeedy:
I'm sorry to say this...

Well, regrding the screen issues on the SGS2...

AMOLED's and derivates from it (SAMOLED, etc...) do suffer from the burn-in effect commonly found on older PLASMA screen TV's and displays.

When I first bought this phone, I only saw it's benefits regarding to it's brightness, colors etc...

But after few months have passed I've noticed that when I have full white (or bright) page open on my phone's browser, I see ghost from an android keyboard and at about half of the screen I could see shadows of widgets that I normally use!

So I ran the *#00#* test and, indeed, there were alot of artefacts on the screen. As of today, I'm reconsidering my purchase of this, otherwise excellent phone, and thinking of switching it for some of the competitors in the line of existence.

Really, it is very dissapointing fact that device like this, which should be top of the line product, suffers from a issue like this!

Currently I'm browsing the adds in search for somethin similar that will replace my SGS2 and with much hope without, ghosts on the screen... :crying::crying::crying:

[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Hi

I'm helping out a friend, which O2X I have rooted and flashed WIUI on to (I previously owned one myself too)

For some reason the phone started to get hot after a while and used up the battery fast, until one day where he couldn't even turn it on again.

Now, he has been trying to fix it himself with NVflash, but no luck, so now its up to me and you guys.

I have used the smartflash tool and flashed the EURO OPEN stock ROM and everything went succesfull, but when the phone reboots, the LG logo appears, and it bootloops.

I tried both with battery and no battery in, but still no cigar.

Any suggestions what I should try next?

PS: If I try to turn on the phone normally, nothing happens. not even a blink from the screen, but I can get into S/W mode and APX
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Try lg update tool, choose recover as option, then choose imei as entrance ;)

Tried:

NVflash

Smartflash (Flashed EURO OPEN rom)

LG Update tool (recover function)

The phone still won't boot.

Smartflash is the only solution like you said that the phone can boot in s/w mode try to dig some answer in smartflash thread or search in google i know you can find some answer there
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Assuming you have carried out the procedures correctly, looks like this device is actually defective. Probably not what you want to hear, I know, but...

Before giving up completely, you can NVFlash it again (using the original 10C NVFlash from Modaco) and post the log here. Wouldn't get my hopes up though.

Find you flavor...

I've tested and used all three. IMHO Virtuous is laggy but runs sense 4.0 full.

TrickDroid v2 and 3 were great, good performance and an incredible tweak package. Have always a backup of v2 in my sd. Last v4 versión has some resizing issues and has more sense full parts.

Finally Sabsa performs very good and now almost perfect but runs sense 4 lite, more adecute to single core dhd.

Just give a try to every one and stay on your preferences.

Thats true, but sabsa is a less intensive rom because its a sense 4 lite build. Virtuous is still in beta so we have to be patient to see what they come up with;TrickDroid is amazing but I have noticed lags with it as well as some rendering issues from portrate to landscape but its a "full sense 4" build so I guess that expected.

Sabsa ---- smoothness and great (some sense 4 features are not availble)

Trickdroid ----- full sense exprience (lags and rendering issues at the moment)
