Is anyone here familiar with how much I'll have to spend to get the screen repaired for me?

My screen finally cracked after someone knocked it out of my hand, my bumper wasn't sufficient for this kind of impact. The bottom half of the screen doesn't function.

In India, it costs about Rs. 4500 = $75US.

Where did you get yours repaired for $75?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhishavphukan:
I saw your location was NY. So I just told you that in India its for Rs. 4500 which is more or less $75 if your convert the currency. But you should call up LG services for the exact prices.

Got mine fixed for $180 and thought it was a bargain others charged $250 btw I'm in australia
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
In California, $185 was the best price I was quoted. It was cheaper to buy a used one on Craigslist and sell the broken one for parts
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Seems like it's cheaper to repair overseas than in the us. I don't have the money to spend 180 on screen repairs so close to the holidays. I think I'll sell this cracked one, then switch to my galaxy s1.

I bought the screen (LCD + digitizer + frame) all in one piece on eBay for $128 and replaced it myself. If you haven't done it before, it might take you about 1.5 hours..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I don't think I'm skilled enough with hardware to pull this off. I would likely mess up. I was thinking about trading it in to tmobile and just using my S1 until I can save for Project ara from moto next year.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhishavphukan:
Whoa. That's expensive. 185 for the screen, that's insane
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Doesn't make sense to spend nearly $200 on repairs for a problem that's affecting ~15% of my screen. I've been using my phone upside via rotation to overcome the dead zone.

However I cannot stand knowing a crack is on my phone, this is the first device I've allowed this to happen to ever.

They are just trying to rip you off. Call up the LG service care helpline if you haven't already and ask em about the prices. Because these repair centers are usually authorized one and can quote anything. Happened with my HTC sensation. They charged me Rs. 11000 for the screen and when I confirmed with HTC they said its for 4000 about 2 years ago. So be sure about getting it repaired anywhere. Hope things work out for you. Sad to see another device on its death bed.

Repairs/replacements in India

Hello Rishav,

I dropped my Nexus 4 yesterday...the display is now cracked and unresponsive to touch, so I cannot get past the screen unlock pattern. I read your post that it costs Rs. 4500 to get the screen/digitizer replaced in India.

I was wondering if you know where I could get it done in Pune. I see that your location is Gurgaon but any info you have / could provide would be appreciated. I searched on Google for Nexus 4 repairs in Pune but haven't come across anything useful.

Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Just contacted LG via live chat, and apparently it'll be between 100 and $180. I'm going with 180 because the frame, digitizer, and screen are all damaged. Sadly I don't have $180 right now(have to worry about tuition, transportation, bills, etc.). Think I'll just sell it on eBay or whatever.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhishavphukan:
Call on this number 1800 180 9999. It's LG service and they'll guide you where in Pune you can get it fixed

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Hmm. That's bad. Well, in India the screen, digitizer and the silver bezel around the screen is for the price mentioned above. I'd suggest you keep the Nex for a while and get it fixed after a few months. I mean it's your call.

Thank you Rishav. Will try that LG number and see how it goes.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
Hi I work in a phone repair shop in the uk. I don't recommend just changing the glass. It's nigh on impossible to do without damaging the digitizer. You need to change the glass/digi/lcd and frame complete. The part you need is about £85 on ebay so a shop is gonna do it between £120-£150. Anything over that is a bit pricey.

Bought the screen/digitizer on ebay for $119 and my beloved cousin change it for free :victory: but I'm in Ecuador..here they may charge you between $30-$50 for that job.

Or, you can check some youtube vids where they show u how to change it...seems easy but u have to be very careful anyway.

First time wife broke her n4 in July I bought her a different phone and spent 100$ on new digitizer and LCD and kept it for myself, a week later she broke that one... Women

But a few months back she managed to brake my n4 again, this time I went cheap and just replaced the digitizer for 20$, a bit more work but not too bad

I would consider at least attempting to fix it yourself, really not bad even for a novice

I want to know, is there any mod for sound quality for ZU....what i want is great experience with sound when plug in a pair of headphones.... I have some quality headphones but it seems the sound is not with my liking....it seems bass is not strong and the loudness is less...

Maybe im to much comparing it with my iPhone 4...cause they have exclusive apps for music and the sound on it is amazing....i just hope the ZU have nices sound quality....

Hope someone can help...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
There are mods for sound volume, but the Sony based ROM's (mine included) even CM based ROM's can't change what Sony have done. and the thing is that even companies like sony... all they can do is change EQ settings which they do with clear voice and +enhancement. So there isn't much we can do, because its all about hardware. The XU has ok hardware, but not fantastic.

So all you can really do is make a custom setting for EQ settings that feels good for you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
So thats very disappointment to hear....i have seen on any other xperia phone and they all have some rom or sound mod for it...is there no way to change it?...if not...hm, bummer..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Android is fixed @ 44.1 KHz. I'm afraid that just resampling chain will be longer, and whole operation is pointless without kernel driver replacement. Right now we have 48KHz fixed hardware (by kernel driver), so....

Sound player -> any sound mod --- > 192Khz upsample ----> 44.1 Khz android downsample -> kernel driver 48 Khz upsample

All you can really try is this clean audio mod

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1Iy8gxK9tcZS1RhY0REaHFXQ2M/edit?usp=sharing

It increases the volume with clear audio and also increases the bass. But its still just EQ settiings. But with this as a base, you can also improve other settings in the EQ
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Interesting, will give it a try...

But how bout Zeroinfinity sound mod....I've used it in many xperia variant device and the mod seems to work...don't know it will work on ZU but will check....

And if you have any info, can you point out what is the best sound EQ for ZU right now...maybe it just EQ but it seems to make some different on hearing....on iphone I used ACUDIO and it work perfectly and many sound mod to choose but android don't support it...hope to point the right direction...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] martin132014:
Why not ad it to your rom....maybe as a bonus...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I made three of my own mods to improve and tweak certain things on a Sony base. But the reason I don't have them in the ROM itself is because most people want to keep it stock. So then you can mod it they way you want. Of course there are tweaks within build.prop that do a lot, but not at a base level.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

I've been without my Ultra for 7 weeks now... (sent in for repair) so i'm not sure what settings within the EQ would work well. I should have it back wednesday I hope...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code72:
Hi,

i have a problem with Samsung Video;

i'm on N9005 latest stock firmware never rooted, knox 0x0 and i was able to play Samsung Hub videos. On 08/12/2013 i was watching aSamsung Hub movie, i stopped it and when i tried to resume the movie i got a message saying: "This item has expired. Connect to PC and download licence". The BIG problem is that now i got that message for any content (Video) downloaded from Samsung Hub. I have tryed everything including full wipe with no result. I have also tried to put another Samsung account on my note 3, downloaded a free video (Helicopter) but i got always the same message. So the problem is not my Samsung account but my Note 3.

Anyone know how to solve?

Please help me.

Same problem

Hi there. I have not got a solution for you, but rather the same problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and the issues started very recently - shortly after the last Android update, in fact. I have been in contact with Samsung several times and they keep proposing the same, useless solution: delete Samsung account, delete Video Hub data, sign back into Samsung account and download Video Hub data again. It does not work. I have just asked them for a refund for all of my downloaded content.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithwjones:
This item expired. Connect to PC and download licence

Same issue

1) Error code/message: This item expired. Connect to PC and download licence

2) Application version: Video Hub ver 1.1.83

3) OS version: 4.2.2

4) Date & time of error, and duration of error: All of tme

5) Description of error: When I try to play video that I have purchased, it will not play. Error as above.

Anyone know how to sort this out, these are videos that I have bought.

How do you download the licence?

Looks as though this will be a challenge, I see various reports of the problem but no solution.

I bought the videos and downloaded on to 10.1, they all worked, now they do not. I have them on SD card, a lock is now displayed against each film. I have just put card into a Tab 2 7, lock still showing but when I played them they acquired a licence and played. Put them back in 10.1 but they will still not play.

I then downloaded a new free film to 10.1 but this will not play either.

I then removed the 10.1 from the video hub which then removed all the films from the card and the tablet. Then linked it back to hub and downloaded one of the films but again it will not play.

Error constant - This item expired. Connect to PC and download licence.

I believe that the problem is with the tablet not the hub account.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Ammar Saood:
Methods that worked for me.

Method 1.

Blow Air it will solve your prob hopefully.

Method 2.

go to samsung code *#0*#. then SENSORS and Read your Proximity sensor values.

<<< DECISION >>>>>

####Calibration isnot needed if ####

.

your phone doesnt vibrate in normal but does so when u physically put your finger on the Sensor.

#### Calibration needed if ####

.

your phone is vibrating in this menu no matter what, you put your finger on the sensor or not

Follow these steps

1. download Android Terminal from store

2. type these commands to calibrate automatically

$ su

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

# echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

Reboot and see if it works.go to *#0*# and check if it continuously vibrating or only does so when you put your finger on the SENSOR.

<<<< IF Continuously Vibrating Follow these steps>>>>

you need to manually put values in ur /efs/prox_cal.it Reads Hexadecimal value. so you have to convert your decimal values into HEX.

##### FIND YOUR Decimal Values and pushing them into /efs/prox_cal ######

Method : finding two values for calibration . offset + normal value.

##.. FINDING OFFSET ######

cat /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal

note down the values it returns.. mine is 5,64,100.. you only need the 1st value which is 5.

### FINDING NORMAL STATE ######

cat /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/state

note down the value if returns. mine is 64

now ADD OFFSET value + Normal Value

5 + 64 = 69

Convert in Hexadecimal which is 45.

NOTE: sometimes normal value is 0, its OK you do you math and convert 1st OFFSET into hex. using lower case for Hex values in steps below.

<<<<<<<<<<< Pushing the value in /efs/prox_cal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

# echo -en $ '\x45' > /efs/prox_cal

then

# chown system:system /efs/prox_cal

# chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal

# sync

# Reboot

All done. after that go to *#0*# then SENSORS and move your finger on the sensor, yout phone will Vibrate only when you put your finger on the sensors.

Manual method worked for me.

ENJOY.

NOTE: I am not a developer. i was just stuck with this problem for so long so now i found it from "mcelicalderon". who posted this method some where

10 million thanks for this!!!, I´d say you were sent by an angel, I was looking for my opperator's stock ROM to flash it and ask for warranty because of this problem and I accidentally found your thread. The manual method worked perfectly.

Now one question: Is it necessary to follow this procedure each time I install a new rom?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ammar Saood:
Thanks Dear.. it delighted me that it worked for your ..

nope ... i flashed 100 other roms .. and it stays the same .. and sensor works properly.. :
[Galaxy S 4 General] seamusph:
Thank for this. It has fixed my wifes samsung s3. A few things that might help others..

My problem stared when I replaced a cracked screen

The echo 0 & 1 worked, but didn't keep after a reboot

After putting the new calibration value in /efs/prox_cal, I forgot (read 'too lazy') to do the chown and chmod and it was lost when I rebooted. The next time I did the chown & chmod and the value was saved.

For me, after I did the echo 0 & 1, I could see that /efs/prox_cal had been updated (which was then lost on reboot)

I tried doing a echo 0 & 1 (which updated /efs/prox_cal) and then I did the chown & chmod. This permanently saved the values for me.

Summary - If echo'ing 0 & 1 into prox_cal is lost after a reboot, try the following before going to the effort to calculate the calibration value

$ su
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sensors/proximity_sensor/prox_cal
$ chown system:system /efs/prox_cal
$ chmod 644 /efs/prox_cal
$ sync

YMMV
[Galaxy S 4 General] slofmb:
Just want to say that just performing these steps has fixed the problem. (which was that the sensor would turn the screen off and then would be stuck at " near possition" until the process using it was terminated and restared e.g a phone call)
[Galaxy S 4 General] edduart:
I'm still watching on, but looks like it really works... in my case, my values were different and based on it I still had the problem, then I tried input 45 as in OP and it solved. Thank you very much for sharing!

forgive me but this quote is kind of silly. doing the work of putting in the coding and then saying he accidentally cleaned the glass?. i have a brand new glass and lcd, plus i fix phones for a side job so i know for a fact this problem was before the new glass and after the new glass. this fix is for the recalibration of the sensor, not dirty glass. just saying.
