[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddsm:
Hi,

Got a Note 3 with the Galaxy Gear this week. Woke up today and put the Gear on charge, took it out of the cradle after it was 100% and noticed a nice crack at the top of the screen's glass. :|

There are no scratches/scuff marks/nothing in anywhere else in the watch or around that area of damage which would show that it was dropped or the damage occurred because of some force.

Does anyone know if the Gear's screen can be replaced or not?

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hendrickson:
In due course there will be replacement screens out and you could replace it. If its really a problem i would get in touch with Samsung. But doubt they will fix it for free. They didn't when my S4 amoled cracked due to temp change in my pocket.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddsm:
Thanks for the reply mate.

I have a feeling it was due to temp changes as well. Couldn't find any explanation how can a glass crack without an external force..apart from it being on charge at the time.

I am more than happy to pay to fix it though...the perfectionist in me will take the easy way out to get it back to it's original state. I hope the outer glass is a single piece guarding the main screen, instead of being a part of the casing which house the whole device. If it's just a glass piece, there might be some ebay options to look at.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhadrian:
Sorry to hear about your problem.I believe the glass to be sapphire crystal which is a very hard and expensive material.I do not know for sure that is the case but it has been said a number of times on the internet.I would very interested to know how things go for you in your repair and whether I am right about the glass
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dickson123:
I don't understand this, you pay $250 for a device, charge it and the screen breaks, and you're more than happy to pay to fix it??????

If you bought a car, filled it with petrol and all the windows shattered, would you be more than happy to pay to replace them?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueChris:
M8 this was your 1st full charge? If yes i strongly believe it happened due to temp change from the inner part of the phone and the room outside temp. It's huge flaw if this is true
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddsm:
Thanks for the replies again.

It was my second full charge. Attaching some pics of it now. Have been treating it like a baby since I got it, not wearing it much, and if I am wearing, shielding it with my hand all the time :\

Thanks adrian. If it was a sapphire crystal glass, I doubt their claims of being super strong if it cracks so easily :\

Dickson, this one will be a case where it would be my word against the samsung service centre guy. I will claim it as a design flaw and it cracked due to temp change, and he will claim that i mishandled it. Usually these situations get to a deadlock where the only way out of getting it fixed is paying for it. Unless ebay has a replacement part and there is a guide online on how to replace it.

Attaching the pics, notice the curved crack at the top. There are no other scratches or scuffs on the glass or the brushed metal around to suggest that it actually hit something. The two small dots are dust specks. The watch always stays in my room...which no one else have access to either.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueChris:
To me it appear that is a design flaw or simpler a assemble flaw and I explain. We all see the gaps in our phones between the frame and the glass and this serve a purpose which to absorb the glass as it grows a bit in hot situations or going smaller in cold, I saw a guy pointing this in forum here who was unable to understand why they exist and making a thread for this. My point is that if the watch has the glass exactly to the frame then this is the problem. Someone will say why normal watches dont have this problem? My reply will be that normal watches don't raise temperature from their guts because their are not computers like this one.

In resume I suggest you to go to sammy and explain them what happened and what is your opinion in the mater. If people are logical will see it accordingly and will forward your phone to R&D of sammy central for Ferther examination.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamedok:
Have them replace it. I don't think you have to pay for it. It looks like an assembly flaw to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhadrian:
That's not my understanding of how it works sapphire glass is very hard to scratch only a few things can scratch it diamonds ect but it is also brittle. Hard and flexible are two different things which why I think you might be right on temperature change causing you crack.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
My family have been in the watch trade for over 100 years. I am NOT though. I do however collect watches. From what I can see the crack is possibly a 'stress crack'? This type of crack can occur when the body of the watch is not exactly the same dimensions as the glass and the glass will crack over a small time due to 'stress'. This could be a one off production problem, ie its a lemon or a design fault in either the body or the glass in terms of size? Only time will tell, we need to see if more owners develop this problem.

Glass can be very difficult to understand, it can be very strong and take enormous pressures or just decide to break on its own. Stress fractures are not uncommon in 'cheap' watches where the tolerances between body and glass are not monitored properly by a quality control team.

One thing we have now established however, is the crystal is NOT made from sapphire glass.

So sorry to learn you have this problem. My immediate response would certainly be with Samsung, failing that first take the watch to a qualified horologist and request a report then go to your Samsung dealer.

Sorry to write I very much doubt you would be able to replace the glass yourself even if you could purchase one. As a novice you would probably break a dozen in trying.

Best wishes
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhadrian:
Not saying this is right but it's said in a couple of reviews at least. The Galaxy Gear measures in at 11.1mm thick and weighs in at 73.8 grams. Overall the watch feels solid and given the metal frame and sapphire glass it should be able to take a few bumps without much to worry about.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhadrian:
I have checked up on my earlier comments and I think I am right cracking in itself does not prove it's not sapphire glass.toughness and hardness are different in fact cheaper glass is often more prone to scratching but tougher in other ways

I have done some more digging.I have found an Internet comment that says the glass on the gear is the same material used for the home button on the iphone.If you go to the Apple spec page the button is made of sapphire crystal.It does seem strange Samsung does not list it in there spec sheet

Sorry about the repeats
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
On the Moh scale of hardness Diamond is rated as 10 and sapphire glass at 9, In all my years I have never heard of nor seen a sapphire glass break like that. According to one member here in the safety manual that comes in the box in some countries, not this one, the crystal is made from "Glass or acrylic"

That confused me even more as how can the crystal be made of Glass OR acrylic? surely Samsung know what the crystal is made from?

I sent Samsung a very polite simple question requesting this information and Samsung replied that they don't answer this sort of question?

I know its not worth the paper its written on but initially wikipedia quoted the Gear as having sapphire glass but this has been removed.

Yet again today on the other thread a poster has written the glass is corning gorilla glass 111! I have requested said poster to please inform us where he got this information from.

THE only brand I know that doesn't quote what glass it uses on its mobiles are Sony. So much confusion over that too. Why?

Can you reference your source please? many thanks.

Kind regards

Same problem - bad outcome

I had exactly the same problem. First overnight charge and I was dismayed to see a hairline crack running from the top to the left hand side of the screen. Contacted Samsung UK who arranged to ship it back for repair. I was told that on receipt their engineer would assess the damage. If they deemed it to have not been caused by a manufacturing fault then I would have to pay for the repair. Having seen the OEM price for the glass at $8 I was not too bothered and was happy a Samsung engineer would be involved. I was advised the repair would take 7 to 10 days. After 6 days the repair status still showed received. I contacted them by phone and they assured me it was assigned to an engineer and if I checked 3 days later I would probably see it had been dispatched back to me. 3 days later they didn't know where the watch was or if it had been repaired. Multiple calls to the customer service team over the next 9 days with promises of callbacks then on day 15 a quotation arrived from some third party crew called A Novo Ltd. asking for £138 to replace the whole LED assembly. I was called the following day by their customer complaints team and told that they had tried to call me the day before to let me know the estimate had been sent but I was on the phone. I pointed out that I have call waiting and have since checked and can find no details of any call from them on that day. Basically, if you buy a Gear, enjoy it but if the screen cracks then wait until you can get a replacement fitted by your own back street repair rather than Samsung's low rated (check the internet) back street crew.

In my experience they don't care if there may be a thermal fault with their Gear. They have your money for the original purchase but after that, who cares, you are just an individual and we are a big business who has outsourced their warranty service and repair service.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddsm:
That's bad mate. To give you an update, I got the watch fixed by Samsung under warranty terms for free. They took some time (think around two weeks) to get it done. And I had the same problem trying to trace it's whereabouts after I sent it back. I now rarely use the Gear. As much as I love it, I know that if the screen cracks again for any reason, I won't be that lucky to get it fixed by Samsung under warranty any more.

Where did you find the oem price of the glass btw? Any link?

Extras

The Adonis Project:

This is very much built upon Borderline and will update and replace it shortly. I have re-created and resized every image to enable xxhdpi support.

For now it only supports xhdpi. Multi res support coming soon if people show an interest, along with screenshots for different colours. For now see the screenshots in the post above.

As this is built for XTheme and HKTheme, sytles.xml is unsupported so the project will always contain minor graphical bugs. Unfortunately the only way to rectify these "styles" bugs would be to modify the colors.xml and /or styles.xml in framework-res.apk.

Below the icons are the hex colour codes to each theme. This can be useful for Xposed modules to change stat bar icons, clock color and various other modifications.

Built for Android 4.4.3 (Results may vary)

Colour hex # 33b5e5

Colour hex # f0e951

Colour hex # 62c980

Colour hex # a3a3a3

Colour hex # ad5ad5

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dully79:
It would have to be for XTheme if i decided to to do it, i don't use CM, although you can use XTheme over any ROM. The main disadvantage is XTheme doesn't support styles.:(

BTW, you can get Codec battery as an xposed module:

The tutorial is very simple,

First of all I would like to thank [MENTION=5138693]NoobCoder[/MENTION], IF script, although is wrong! But I want to thank him!

1: unpacking the kernel, in init.rc

Search

Set this property so surfaceflinger # is not started by system_init

Setprop system_init.startsurfaceflinger 0

Let's add

# xiangxin: fix LED

Start data_restore

Then in the last added

# Xiangxin: FIX LED service

Service data_restore /sbin/data_restore.sh

User root

Oneshot

Disabled

OK, init.rc is corrected, download the attachment to data.tar, data_restore.sh

Added to the kernel, the /sbin directory!

The attachment of the system directory into your ZIP package!

OK tutorial end!

he worked only for stock...so i believe stock 4.1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AGONTUK:
It's for stock only.

He inserted a bash script in init.rc to run during boot. This script will place the light_themes and lightservice.soc in /data with the related dalvik-cache so that illumination_service can find the necessary files to light up the led bar.

Nice approach [MENTION=5394746]xx214718247[/MENTION] bro :)

BTW, where's the tutorial ? Your title says it's a tutorial ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:
Now is it necessary to flash ur fix first before this or should we use this..only whileflashing Rom

Also....will this work if we wipe data/ factory reset??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AGONTUK:
if all kernels include this then no need to flash my fix.

Since it's in the kernel, even after wiping data/cache, it'll work.

[MENTION=5394746]xx214718247[/MENTION], so every time phone boots, it'll run data_restore.sh and replace light_themes and lightservice.soc. Wouldn't it remove our last saved color and set it back to default everytime ??

No. This is a kernel authors!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sv2hqx:
ok

didn't know
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AGONTUK:
you can check if the file exists or not. If doesn't exist then run the bash script. I'm not expert in bash but it should work.

if [ -f light_themes -a -f lightservice.soc ];
then
# do nothing
else
run the script

Hi all,

I have found that once or twice a week build in microphone does not work in iMate Jasjar. I can not record anything or call anybody. I have also found that device does not make any sounds either. To resolve the problem every time I need to make soft reset. It helps but just temporary. I do not remeber that problem when I had oryginal ROM, it starts to happen after upgrade to the leatest version from iMate web site.

Please help me or explain me whats wrong.
