1 speck of sand. That is all it takes. Nothing will hold up to a small amount of sand rubbing on it. It's quarts which is crystal which is harder than any plastic or glass. Sand is everywhere.

That is made when lightning strikes sand instant glass and crystal caused by all the tiny particles of quartz melting and fusing together.

[One (M7) General] nullkill:
I hate to say this but with all the modern smartphones the glass is glued directly to the LCD it's how it makes the screen look to be right there on the glass but makes replacing the glass very hard unless you've done it before or really know what you are doing. Best thing to do would be to purchase a screen protector like zagg (doesn't have to be zagg just a wet install their are some cheap alternatives) and put that on. It will cover some decent scratches so you can not see them at all or feel them.

Have you checked your phone for dead pixels? If you find one you win! No really if you haven't check do it maybe with a magnifying glass. That would get you an exchange and you wouldn't be ripping anyone off as the piece you messed up would get scrapped if youi have a dead pixel :highfive:.

If you want a good story, the weekend after I bought my One, I was waiting for my case to arrive, but I was going to Uwharrie National Forest for with some friends that were doing a little rock crawling in their Jeeps. I brought my One X and vowed to use it since my One was caseless and brand new and we were in dirt, rain, rocks, etc. Well, that lasted... well no time at all. I never even switched over to my One X because I got so interested in taking pictures and videos with the One. I ended up using it all weekend without any issues at all. On the way home it was pouring rain and we stopped to get some pizza. I went to the bathroom afterwards, then ran out to my friends Jeep and jumped, only to notice about 5 seconds later I didn't have my phone. My first thought was that it was inside, and I jumped out and headed to the door to see if I left it on the table, but even as I turned towards the door I had a sinking feeling realizing that it wasn't inside. I turned back around and there it was laying in the parking lot, face up, in the pouring rain. I ran over, snatched it up, and was amazed the screen wasn't broken. I wrapped it up in my hoodie and jumped back in to further inspect it. I got a decent number of dings in the back aluminum case, including one on both sides of the camera lens a few centimeters from it, but amazingly there was nothing but cosmetic damage. The screen was still in perfect shape, the camera lens was uncracked, and I had grabbed it from the rain fast enough that it had no water damage (though I'm sure that and the moisture of the weekend may probably triggered all my water sensors, oh well). I realized that I had put it in my hoodie pocket which is a TERRIBLE place for phones. It must have flown out of the loose pocket while I was running out in the pouring rain.

I took it as a warning, my case got here, and I put it on immediately. Luckily with the case on, you can't even tell anything happened. Now I have my trusty xda-developers CruzerLite case and a Zagg InvisibleShield HD on it and feel much safer. Boy did I get lucky! I just can't believe it made it the entire weekend, then I dropped it on the way back getting pizza! :laugh:

Had mine on the kitchen bar, left it face down on a tea towel - fast forward to middle of night.

Cat has habit of jumping up on bar to get food, I woke to a crash and thought I should check not once thinking it could be my phone.

Cat had knocked down the tea towel sending my phone crashing to the wooden floor from about 1 meter plus up.

Cursing under my breath, having only had this dev-64gb version for 1 day - and thinking of those other ways to skin cats; phone is face down on glass - Channeled my African brother and nothing ZERO damage.

Cat lived.

I dropped mine 3 times with no case, and 0 with a case. The first time was while I was at work, my coworker decided it was funny to pants me and it flew out of my pocket in the process. I got a few small scratches on the bezel. The 2nd time was while I was getting out of the car and I had my phone on my lap. That gave me pretty deep gashes in 2 corners and a few dents. The 3rd time my phone fell while I was putting my phone in my new poetic case. It was a tight fit and my phone slipped out of my hands. I managed to catch the case and not the phone as it fell... :mad: I have the best luck

The day i got mine I put it on my bed changed into pjs and went to sit down it slid on the covers and fell off my bed between the bed and the wall through the crack and between 2 storage boxes... Moved the bed wanting to cry, picked it up, it was still perfect WHEW :D

Was cleaning my One at work and dropped it from maybe 1ft and it fell face first.. landing on its face. i was scared to pick it up.. because out of all the devices ive had ive dropped them many times and the screen has never cracked or shattered... i was scared that theres a first for everything... but fortunately screen lives... but to huge scuffs on the chamfered edges..

[One (M7) General] ChromeSkull:
Dropped during bad weather

I can confirm the One takes a beating :)

I dropped my Silver ONE when I got stuck in the snow down a country lane with no light.

It fell between 4ft & 5ft high but was moving forwards (cold wet hands from pushing my car :( )

It landed face down on wet Tarmac and hasn't scratched the screen. It did however put a VERY small scratch about 1mm long on the very top corner of the aluminium face.

That was the first drop of about 3 so far onto a hard surface. 2 of which have been on hard surfaces (Tarmac and Tile Both face down).

I think insurance is a good move, just in case it falls 1 time too many.
[One (M7) General] ECEXCURSION:
I put my one face up on my bed and forgot about it. I was pacing around the room holding my laptop in one hand, thew the laptop across the room onto the bed like I normally do and it happened to land directly on the one... No problems.

Sent from my HTC One

I'm using the Incipio frequency for my HTC One. Just enough protection in my opinion without adding too much bulk. All the ports are open and easy to access and the back is almost translucent. I got it sent to Ireland from the US through eBay, they should be able to deliver to SA!

A user in a Swedish Android forum dropped his phone down some stairs after getting bumped into. Even after bouncing down several times on its way down it was fine when it picked it up. That's pretty impressive (or just means he's insanely lucky).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mushroom.:
I've noticed after switching to Apex Launcher, that if you try to change any of the app icons away from the Touchwiz icons, they look blurry. It seems most of the icons built-in to the third-party launchers and icon packs are not xxhdpi, which is what our 1080p screens need to look best.

Does anyone know where to get xxhdpi icons, especially the stock jellybean ones? Do you guys notice this also?

Had my xperia z about a month now this current one two weeks. Since day one the phone will disconnect everything in my house all at the same time roughly 10 minutes after being connected itself. Any ideas as to why? I took the phone back in the first place where i bought it and got it exchanged for a brand new one but when i got home the same problem was there.

Any help??

I guess its 5.. If you forgot your PIN, you can unlock it by signing into your Google id(provided you have a working data/wi fi connection).. No need for a factory reset..
[Android Software Development] AndroiDer:
Hello,

My question is, I see everywhere on the internet USB sticks with Android on it for the TV. All the USB sticks having proccesors etc. Now is it my question is it possible to run Android on a normal USB stick or is this not possible. So I have a standard USB stick without RAM memory etc and no proccesors, and I want to know if it works to put a Android version on it and run it on a TV..

Can someone answer my question or knows a sollution or is this not possible??
[Android Software Development] dhruvmp:
Simple answer, no it is not possible.

Those Android "sticks" have an HDMI port. The small processor and memory inside the stick run Android and output it through the HDMI port which is plugged into your TV.

Also, those "sticks" usually need an external power source.
[Android Software Development] AndroiDer:
Ok, thanks for your fast answer, then I go search on the internet for a good USB stick for the TV.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblocal:
Had a small hairline crack across the screen.

So I purchased a replacement glass,

watched several youtube videos on how to change the glass (phone was working perfectly)

came off no problem, very easy as a matter of fact.

replaced with new glass.

phone turns on, nothing goes on the screen.

what happened? did I ruin the digitizer?

never touched it with the razor knife one time but it did have a few flakes of glass on it so I lightly brushed them off with a hairless cloth.

what I do????

****.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblocal:
it turns on and if I call it, it rings but dead screen.

how did I kill it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BHARGAV33:
Why did YOU fixed it yourself?

Anyway, check if all something is not connected...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblocal:
that is the response I get? seriously?

I watched several videos, all said if you take your time, its easy. I took my time and it came off easy and went back in easy.

wondering what I could have done wrong. I do not think there are things that I needed to "hook back up" to get it to work correctly again.

somehow I fried the touch screen and I do not know why.

So, maybe I should be a bit more specific.

IF, you understand and know about how this would happen. Or if you are experienced in the build/construction of telephones and could shed some light on it for me I would appreciate it.

if you have no clue, I really do not need to hear it...

thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Febby:
I'm not an expert but if it turned on before but now it doesn't, its dead jim. You probably heated it up too much. I think the suggested heat is 170-180 F.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblocal:
my second post. " IT TURNS ON but the screen does not."

I can call it and it will ring BUT THE SCREEN DOES NOT TURN ON!!!!

The screen is probably dead but I am hoping someone who knows about it can give me advice on how to maybe fix it.

that is the help I am looking for!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Febby:
I believe only way to fix "it" at this point is to buy a new lcd which at this point youre better off buying one with the lcd-digi-glass. I say this because if there was a chance at slightly fixing a bad LCD it would involve hard work with tools beyond your reach and or experience.

Edit: Just out of curiosity, did you disconnect the LCD screen during the disassemble? Make sure its connected properly.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Seems fairly sensible question to ask, especially when your providing so few details. When you checked the screen immediately after connecting it up did it work? If so it's entirely possible one of the connectors has worked loose during re-assembly, if not it's always possible that the new screen was supplied faulty.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblocal:
I guess I owe an apology to whomever I offended. I was extremely frustrated by the fact I just killed my freaking phone and was hoping someone could tell me a specific thing or two to look for to make sure it was reinstalled correctly.

I was not looking for a, "why did you do it yourself type of statement. Obviously, hindsight tells me I should not have touched it. I understand that now. What I am/was looking for was constructive advice from someone who knows.

Honestly, I do not think there is anything that needs to be "re-hooked up". It was just the glass.

Here is another description, maybe someone who has done it before or knows the correct way to "re-hook it up" can explain a bit more in detail.

Yesterday, I tried to fix just the glass part of the phone, no electronic parts underneath. Just remove the broken glass and replace it with a new one.

I watched several in depth videos on youtube on how to do it. Very straight forward, easy/squeezy.

You heat the phone, use very thin items (razor knife) to very slowly remove the glass from around the edges. Do not tough the screen underneath at all.

I did just that. The screen came off much easier than anticipated. I was thinking I was golden.

Then I replaced everything the way it was, put the new glass back on. and turned it on and blammo, no more screen.

so, once again, I am requesting help from someone who has done this or who knows exactly what I should look for if I remove the new screen to see if something was replaced wrong.

thanks....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Right. Now that is much better. If you would have asked like this from the beginning, we would have helped you.

Now, I personally haven't done this before, but what did you heat the phone up with?

It's possible that you have de-soldered some contacts for the screen's ribbon cable. If you have done that, you may want to open up the phone and check. If that is the case, I'd send it to Samsung or a repair centre. Of course, you'll get the same questions as here, but they should be able to help you. You could always send it to http://mobiletechvideos.com and check if they can do things like that for you, after all, they are a universal repair service.

I hope this helps you a little bit.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pblocal:
I just searched xda, look what I found.

"Oh and one more thing to add. Do not get fooled into buying those "glass only" front panel replacement kits on ebay for $20-$30. You'll just end up with a nice conversation piece on how you got scammed out of $20-30. I do not even know why they sell those for, they even include these cheap ass tools making it look more legit, like there is somehow a way to actually replace it. It's a full on scam if you ask me. I feel sorry for the poor saps who pick up broken glass S3's on ebay for $350-400 thinking it will only cost them $30 bucks to replace the screen and they'll have a like new S3. Suckers....

It is 100 percent impossible to replace just the front glass panel on the Galaxy S3. The glass panel is fused entirely to the LCD, and the whole LCD is glued to the frame. There is no way to "separate" the glass from the LCD without destroying both.

Bottom line, you need to purchase the LCD and Glass Digitizer as a complete assembly, around $200. To make life easier, you should buy it with the frame also, around $220-240 so you won't have to curse and ***** when you try to pull your old LCD and digitzer from your old frame,broken piece by piece. "

I am one of those suckers! I guess I need a new LCD/Glass Digitizer with the frame and then pay someone to do it correctly!

DAMN!!!!

Alright everyone, I've Googled my brains out (not in a dirty way) and haven't found any real resolution to the above issue. I've tried all the usual suspects; replacing the SIM Card, cleaning the SIM Card, adding tape to the back side of the card to ensure good contact, replacing SIM/MicroSD PCB Board, fresh Wipe of ROMs and Radios, etc. None of those things have had any real results except replacing the PCB-it seems to be less frequently occurring with the new SIM tray. Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm willing to try just about anything.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Hangampalli:
How often does this happen?

It only happens to me when I have to change the network mode. I've rarely seen it other except for maybe when my phone finds an LTE signal.

Otherwise, it could be the antennas. My mom once dropped her Samsung Focus and the antennas got screwed up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
Sometimes it'll happen through several reboots within a few minutes. It'll also happen when my phone is sitting, untouched, on my desk. There shouldn't be any network mode switching if my phone isn't moving.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Hangampalli:
The only thing I can think of is to flash back to Stock AT&T software and see what happens. If you still have the same problem, it's most likely an antenna issue and you might be better off buying a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
Time to return to stock and see what happens. Ugh, what an annoying issue.

EDIT: After returning to stock and installing TWRP I ran the stock UCMC1 software for a little while without incident. While I was setting up CM I got the dreaded "No SIM-Emergency Calls Only" message. I'm at a loss here. I guess it might just be time to start shopping for a new phone.

EDIT: I'm going to try running *SHUDDERS* stock Samsung/AT&T software for a few days to see if the problem persists. I'm pretty skeptical that this is a software issue, though, since I haven't seen too many people reporting this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Commodore 64:
Good effort

Given all your efforts in eliminating various variables, I'm starting to believe Hangampalli is probably right and it might be a Hardware issue.

But it is a simple observation to stay on a solid stock ROM like the recent UCMC1 (original att version) for a couple of days and see what happens.

You remind me of myself with my Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) random shutdowns last year. I chewed up all the threads at XDA back to back and tried anything, and it still did it ... but we all know when to quit.

Cheers to your efforts:good:
