Subject: Dismantling the XDA

From: JAA6921

Date: 21 Dec, 2002 16:49:55

I'd like to respray my T-Mobile phone (the one with the bad

paint job) - I've upgraded the RAM to 64mB so I don't want

to/can't swap it under warranty.

Can someone post basic instructions on taking this thing part -

especially removing all the stuff from the ftont cover plate??

I've had the back off and it looks OK to do but anyt hints and

tips and pics appreciated

Thanks in advance :o

First get rid off the 4 screws at the back, then remove the

antenna plastic cover. From the antenna hole, gently force open

the XDA apart. From the initial separation at the tip of the

antenna then you work your way down using your nails.

Inside, you need to open two more screws at the bottom & top(top

one is sealed with the warranty sticker), then you need to

unplug three flat cables. After that you'll be able to seperate

the middle part from the screen. Four more screws will let you

take off the screen from the casing :wink:

Hi Confused, thanks for the information. When you say you did

it, have you resprayed the case?? If so what paint did you use

and how did it apply and is holding out??

Thanks 8)

Interesting plan.

That Silver is a bit tacky. A nice gun metal black maybe?

My warranty runs out in September, nothing happening til then

So has anyone painted their XDA successfully? My paint was peeling really pad, so I sanded it off with 320 grip sandpaper. Looks better than before, but still not great.

The power button on my XDA II is stuck - so I have to use a soft reset all the time to get it to work.

Does anyone know if the instructions for opening the XDA are the same for XDA II?

I did drop it and the power button got pressed in - looks like it's squashed so I am hoping if I take the case off I can straighten it out a bit. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] merciless_alien:
Hi guys, believe me I looked around the forum before setting out to ask, but it could take years to read all the threads and posts.

A few months back I bought my son a Galaxy S 3 for Verizon through Amazon wireless.

The phone came, I activated it and it worked fine until the idiot put it in his pocket, went out, got drunk, and came home with some barely visible cracks in the screen which now will not light up.

He went to the Verizon store, but without their insurance, they refused to deal with it. Instead, he ported an upgrade from another one of my 5 lines and buys another phone for $250-.

Now I have the 3 month "old" S 3 with a cracked screen that won't light up, and no SIM card.

What am I supposed to do now with this paper weight??

I was hoping to never have to deal with Verizon again, but now I'm locked in for another two years on two of my five lines and I have this very useless but valuable phone.

Suppose I take it upon myself to repair the screen, is there anyway to use this phone on a different network? or at least with a different carrier?

Perhaps a carrier that isn't looking to skin me alive for whatever I can bare? I know this device works with SIM cards, and I've heard folks claiming that it can be used on GSM networks, so what prevents me from using this phone on a GSM network with another carrier??

Can someone explain in layman's terms what this post will do for me??

Or is there some other direction I need to take??

Thank you!

The first thing you need to do is, change your Verizon password, so your dumb-ass, irresponsible son, can't stick you with anymore bills.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] merciless_alien:
I would think that since they removed the SIM card from the broken phone and placed it into the new phone, and since he purchased the new phone with an upgrade from a different line, but retained service on the same line, that perhaps VZW is copacetic with that. Service is retained on the original line.

But something needs to happen with this broken phone that I have.

and, you didn't answer any of my questions.

What needs to take place? ...and in what order?

Let me take a stab at this...

Fixing the LCD is probably the first thing that has to happen.

I assume the phone, being a PDA will boot without the SIM card. Yes?

So if it's bootable, and you can see what you're doing, then I guess it's rootable. Yes?

And if it's rooted, then you can unlock it? Yes?

And once its rooted and unlocked, then what?

With which carrier can this phone be used? Rooted and unlocked, why would it even matter?

Thank you, and please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Edgehood:
The Rooting post will allow you to have more control over your device. You can give apps permission to do thing that android usually restricts them from doing. For example, you can give SetCPU permission to change the minimum and maximum speeds of your processor. You must also root to use the GSM network... Check out this guide: Click Here. I've never used my S3 on another carrier though, so I'm not exactly sure what to do
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EBEM:
Hello,

My employer gave me a SGSIII mini. I use the phone to work: call, email, calendar and contacts, everything works with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Unfortunately samsung email client is unsuitable for MS Exchange - black background, a very large font, when I write an email I need to set the font size every time and is very slowly.

I tested other programs such as TouchDown - work ok but I can't turn off the samsung email client. All time check and receive mail on both programs: TouchDown and samsung email client. In settings options I turned off the email sync for email samsung client but still gets e-mails!

How can I turn off synchronization for email samsung client (sync mail ONLY by TouchDown) and the rest: calendar and contacts will be sync with MS Exchange?

Sorry for my bad english :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rigmah:
I will be unlocking my I717 tonight, flashing blaze radio, and flashing JamieD's CM10.1 rom

Do the USSD codes word with AOSP Roms or do I need to run TouchWiz based roms? Especially *#2263# to force the phone into AWS HSPA+ mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
*#*#4636#*#* on aosp. Some codes are different on different android versions. Optionally setting/ wireless and network more/ mobile network/preferred network type.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rigmah:
OK great.

Ill be using the I717 on T-mobile and i want to make sure i can take full advantage of the AWS HSPA (1700mhz) or the 1900 mhz HSPA+ (I am in a refarmed market).

Though I hear that AWS HSPA is +42 and 1900mhz is only +21
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
Using it on T-Mobile here as well. Seen as high as 16mbps download using the i717 blaze, i717 uvlg3, and also the official att uclf6 which would be on the 1900 band.

So try a few out and see which works best. Not sure but thought all bands were created equal, as per throughput. Maybe someone else can chime in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zyzzz:
Do i need to set it to WCDMA ONLY or Preferred?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
Preferred will cycle between available edge and HSDPA frequencies.

Where wcdma only will provide HSDPA and no 2g.

So for me...preferred as any data is good data :D
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuczy16:
I am thinking about getting the raspberry pi and load xbmc onto it. I will probably be buying a WiFi dongle. How do I exactly setup up the WiFi for the pi? Do I need to hook it up to an Ethernet port first or no?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Fortunately it's pretty simple to set up the WiFi on the RPi, all you have to do is plug the WiFi dongle into one of the USB ports and then connect to your wireless router WiFi network through XBMC and you should be good to go. You shouldn't have to hook the RPi up to Ethernet first to get internet setup. My other recommendation would be to check out this guide if you run into problems http://elinux.org/RPi_Peripherals and this list of WiFi dongles that have been tested and verified to work with the RPi.
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crewecustoms:
Hi,

Setting the WIFI dongle up is fairly easy you will need to load XBMX onto your PI and boot this up with the ethernet cable attatched. Go to settings and find the PI's IP address. Write this down.

Plug your WIFI dongle into the PI also.

You will then need to download a program called PUTTY onto your pc or laptop. You should start a SSH session on the IP you have wrote down.

Login in using username:XBMC Password:rasperry

Once you have done this go into settings and find WLAN. Click on this and put the the SSID of your internet service provider and your PASSKEY. then end PUTTY.

Reboot your PI and hey presto your WIFI dongle will be working

If this helps please hit thanks. If you get stuck I have a youtube video with the SSH session on XBIAN (same thing) just PM me

Peace

[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuczy16:
So it is not required to book the pi up with an Ethernet cable first if I understand you correctly right?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crewecustoms:
Yes thats correct. Boot the PI up with the ethernet cable plugged in, obtain the IP from the settings in XBMC. Then on a pc or laptop do the putty SSH session using this IP and log in and enable WLAN and input the SSID and Passkey

Hope this helps
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuczy16:
Also if I plan to use xbmc do I have to buy any licenses? I am confused about that as well. If so which ones?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crewecustoms:
Hiya. I believe if you use raspbmc which is a Linux distro there is no licensing, same with xbmx and xbian. I Do however believe you have to buy mpeg2 licenses.

Hope this helps and best of luck maybe post a pic of your finished pi project for us all to see :) I'm still tinkering at the moment but I would recommend a powered usb hub it has been my saviour the past few weeks.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Oh and something else that is awesome if you go for a xmbc raspbmc or xbian openelec etc.

Download an app called yatse. (for the record I bought the full version) this allows you to control the pi with your nexus :D I use it all the time just scan for the pi once your wireless working and do it from your phone haha
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuczy16:
What exactly does the mpeg-2 license allow me to do exactly?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endoroid:
I didn't buy any licence and I have no problems playing anything. It would all depend what format your media is. Most of my stuff is h264 aka mpeg4. I don't think I've even ever seen a file encoded in mpeg2 as it is older and less efficient then current standards
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuczy16:
So if I am just streaming stuff off of xbmc plug-ins like 1channel I would not need the licenses?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endoroid:
I doubt it. If you find you do have issues you can always purchase the licence at a later time

I have another question. I have seen people getting Pandora and Hulu getting to work on their raspberry pi running xbmc. How can I install/ get both of those add ons
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
If your looking to install Hulu on XBMC I would recommend taking a look at this guide, it involves mainly installing the Bluecop repository. For getting Pandora working I would recommend taking a look at this guide here.
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuczy16:
For the Pandora add on, how do I make the necessary edits?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You actually don't have to make the edits you can download the .zip file containing the edits already made for you here. Once you have downloaded the .zip file extract the contents and place them in your addon folder.
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzidek:
Suggestion: go on eBay and search for "ew-7811un". Save yourself a lot of headache and BUY ONE lol. It's an Edimax wifi dongle. It's tiny, and works with Rasperry Pi right outta the box, no setup required. You'll need a wireless mouse just to pick the router and enter your wifi password, etc.

Another suggestion: get a *powered* USB 2.0 hub, and plug it into the Pi. Use only one of the USB ports on the Pi, for the hub, don't use the other one. The Pi is severely underpowered, and the USB hub will solve that for you (if it's a powered hub, of course). Plug the wifi dongle and the wireless mouse into the hub.

Final suggestion: get the OpenELEC distribution of XBMC for Pi. It's AMAZING, especially with the ACE skin (which you can download right from the Pi in the Settings menu after installing - see attached pic). The only downside is that OpenELEC is a locked distribution, meaning you can't add repositories that are not listed as "add-ons" via the gui itself.

What I have is the above, plus a large external hard disk connected to my network via my internet service provider's wireless modem. Basically, it shows up as a network drive on any device connected to my wifi network. It allows me to download (ahem, I mean "purchase") movies, music, videos etc through my laptop, directly onto the network drive, and then instantly play them via the Pi as a SMB share.

Hope this helps.

[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btorielli:
You could also while on Ethernet download the Wifi Tool in the Raspberry XBMC repository and then you have a GUI for configuring your WiFi device within the XBMC interface as long as you have a supported adapter.

Hu all! I'm sorry if this is not the right place for it, but, can I use a PSP 4GB magicgate sd card in the pi?
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Unfortunately no your can't use your PSP magicgate memory stick with the RPi, because it's not actually a standard SD card it's Sony's own memory format. A standard SD-card or micro SD-card with a adapter is what you would need.
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks and any idea if I can use my Laptop keyboard and trackpad with the pi
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobiascuypers:
Depends, you should be able to, but if not, a nice powered hub will work!
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenvv:
If you mean your intergrated keyboard, you could probaly SSH/VNC in to your pi and control it that way. I know there is a program called 'synergy+' that works on all platforms, but I dont know if it runs on ARM devices..
[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabrialDestruir:
Synergy can be setup to work with the rPi in a desktop environment, however I haven't found a way to get it to work in an environment using purely XBMC such as OpenElec or Raspbmc. In these particular media center distros they don't bother with a desktop and they don't last I checked have an xserver running. For these options you're probably better off using Yaste for your android device to control it anyways.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Christopher83:
FAQ - Frequently asked questions:

Q: What are the differences between EXUV and UV kernel versions?

A: The EXUV kernel versions have extremely undervolted settings for the cpu frequencies, they allows to have a very low battery drain, instead the UV kernel versions have undervolted settings a bit higher than EXUV versions, but always lower than stock kernel settings (take a look at the comparison table on the first post).

The EXUV kernel versions could give some problems (freezes, shutdowns, huge lags) on some devices because the cpu doesn't support too low voltage settings.

For a lower battery consumption, I suggest you to try EXUV versions first and to switch to UV versions only if you encounter one of the above mentioned problems.

Q: What are the differences between 360MB, 370MB and 390MB versions?

A: 360MB, 370MB and 390MB kernel versions have different free ram available for user space, with a higher free ram your device will work better with heavy apps, many concurrently used apps, heavy games, etc.

- 360MB versions have additional 8 MB of free ram than stock kernels (352 MB of free ram), they are suitable for the users that use the device primarly for calls, messages, simple apps and simple games. The camera, video recording (both 480p and 720p modes) and video playback are fully working.

- 370MB versions have additional 18 MB of free ram than stock kernels, they are suitable for the users that use the device also with heavy apps, various concurrently used apps and games. The camera, video recording (both 480p and 720p modes) and video playback are fully working.

- 390MB versions have additional 38 MB of free ram than stock kernels, they are suitable for the users that use the device also with heavy apps, many concurrently used apps and heavy games. The camera and video playback are fully working, the video recording works only in 480p mode.

Q: How can I get the log after an unexpected shutdown / reboot?

A: After an unexpected shutdown / reboot of the device, if the problem may be kernel related, you should have the /proc/last_kmsg, if so, send me that log and I'll check it to find the possible cause of the problem.

Q: How can I get the logs when I encounter strange system issues while it's running?

A: Check first if the problems could be related to an app you're using and if you changed something in the last days before facing those issues.

If the problem started after installing the kernel, then let me have you logcat and dmesg:

- Open Terminal Emulator and execute these commands:

su
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
locat -v time -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt

- Open you preferred file manager and go inside the internal sd card partition /sdcard

- Send me the dmesg.txt and logcat.txt files, if you want zip them first
