Broken screen

Hi,

I've had my Touch (or nova, as it is here called) for only two months and one morning i discovered a black "stain" under the screen, directly where you have the virtual keyboard. O2 refused to repair it under warranty, blaming it on "mechanical fracture", and quoting me 200 euro for a repair. Well, for that money I could almost get another one! But what I find outrageous is, that they blame me for it, even though it shouldn't have broken at that spot. They should have used more durable materials knowing that people will need to apply pressure to the screen, and the pressure is larger than normally due to the fact, that this screen is "hard". And the funny part is, that this "stain" moves under the screen, just as if something spilled inside and the liquid was moving. But the touchscreen functionality stayed intact. Anybody knows a way to deal with it without having to pay big bucks for a screen exchange?

Ebay

I recently sold my old MDA 11 on Ebay and was looking through the items for sale as you do...and saw screens for the Touch. They came from China, but who cares as long as they fit and do the job...

another lcd elf broken..

Oh **** .. i am another customer with problems in my LCD screen [Touch (Elf)]

This is not normal.. i was sitting in a car with it in my pocket, but without hitting it at all, just with the pressure it got broken ??? :eek: JusT ****

Now i have sent it to my mobile service centre and will tell me the warranty does not cover it :mad:

Cannot we do something at the respect? this looks like a manufacturer problem, too easy to break.. I'll try to make a formal complaint to the consumer centre.

Finally.. if i have to pay 140€ for fixing it in the service centre, i don't know if buying it on ebay or cnn.cn (i'd loose the warranty then )

what do you suggest me to do?

There are LCD's sold with tools and instructions, they are really neccesary? (cnn.cn does not provide them,right?) I think i'll buy over ebay, some china or so..

Any suggestion? Does anyone have some tutorial about replacing the LCD?

I think i just broke LCD, no digitalizer,.. how may i know? :confused:

Thank you a lot :o

[Touch GSM General] drjest:
Ditto! I had my Touch for all of one week. It got dropped into a hot cup of coffee at work(:eek:). $50 US and another one is on the way.

It wouldn't startup after being dunked in coffee. All I saw was a red light at the top center. After drying out over night, it appears to work fine. Regardless, its heading back to Sprint when the new one arrives. I wonder if my old one will get sent out as a refurb to someone?
[Touch GSM General] djon83:
50$ only to replace one Elf because dropping it into a coffee cup? some special warranty no?

We should make a formal complaint to customer service about this mobile phone ****..

Cheers
[Touch GSM General] Himself™:
Totally concurred, I'm glad I opened this thread to take a look... Desktop cradle and green and white faceplates, very nice :D

I've heard of screens cracking for little reason before, sometimes just from the cold. It has to be expected given the amount the manufacturers pump out. Some defective product will always slip through the cracks unfortunately
[Touch GSM General] bigZ:
i have a LOT of burned pixels:(
[Touch GSM General] Himself™:
That at least you can warranty!

I seriously doubt they would replace the screen as shown above through warranty, they just wouldn't believe him.
[Touch GSM General] dushshantha:
Thanks for the warning. I'm also carrting my touch in my pant pocket.
[Touch GSM General] Slayer23:
this happened to me twice - once i was going with my old MDA I to service to get it' D-PAD back operational and i carried it in my pocket, when i got to the service point, the screen was to shreds, dunno why, never happened b4

and second time i had brand new acer n35 and i was also carrying it in my pocket, my girlfriend sat on my laps, though stretching my pants and that time i actually heard the LCD cracking - but since the Acer n35 was bought only 4 hours before this happened, i went back to the store and told them, that i got my PDA like this from the box already - and lol - they believed me and replaced it with a new one, lucky me.

Resume - never carry your PDA in your front or rear trousers pockets :) nowadays i preffer Krusell multidapt system and occasionally i carry my touch in my jacket's brest pocket and hopefully i won't have to suffer thru broken LCD crap again

P.S. for what i have read, seems to me, that TOUCH's screen is rly cracky - you can see that for yourselves, i've never before seen the crystals flow so much under the touch layer even with a little pressure on some places of the screen, especially in the bottom of the screen - even with stylus - guess this is due the "flat" structure of the PDA, the display has no solid external frame, only the thin aluminium cover, which it's actually in, so be damn careful with it :)
[Touch GSM General] aaronpoweruser:
quick question what is it that you have one the mottom of your screen that gives you clocks and bat life
[Touch GSM General] Codeaction:
A few months ago i've had a black spot (like yours) in de left corner and de screen was 1/2 gray and the other side stripes and my warranty covered it.
[Touch GSM General] NP9660:
WHAT !!! I have the same problem and i have to pay for it !!!
[Touch GSM General] PatrickBateman:
It happened the same with my Touch purchased here in Portugal. I await response from our local HTC distributor. :mad:

Serious defects in the production? I think that yes. :mad:
[Touch GSM General] rajib:
battery status

that is a great program called battery status.

anyway... i am really worried now about my touch. i carry in my front jeans pocket.
[Touch GSM General] pornartist:
waoow thi really sucks

Since I know this is a weakness in the TOUCH I have purchased from E-bay the Monaco leather pouch that looks like a book when you open the hard cover.It cost me $26.00 (belt clip included )and it looks kindy funkie, but it sure beats spending hundreds to get it fixed.....by the way the store name is "nakedcellphone",if your interested.
[Touch GSM General] trueg:
The screen on my first Rogers Elfin broke last week. I live at sea level and I took it skiing without thinking twice about its safety. The ski resort is at 1500+ M above sea level and the temp was about -2 degrees C. Before I even hit the slopes I checked my phone and the screen was white with some colored strips. I originally thought that maybe I bumped it while getting my gear on, but it may have been the change in temp and altitude. Anyway, the phone was only 5 weeks old and graciously my carrier exchanged it for me.

edit: I think for now on I will take my SE w810i when I do any sports.
[Touch GSM General] Napbree:
Thats really unlucky mate :(

I have one, and I've been really lucky with it, ive dropped it twice on concrete from about 1-1/2 metres. And it works fine still (thank god, i love this phone!)

I have a small issue with it, the creen flexes to the smallest amount of pressure, and the lcd in one small wisp like area will like go darker then lighter. It's the same kind of effect if you push the LCD on a monitor or laptop.

Is this normal or not? And it was doing it before I dropped it btw :0
[Touch GSM General] haiopei:
So...

i will make the list longer :

my screen brokes today with a little *knercks*

by touching a number on the dialer :-(

Its a little, small break on middle of the front screen.

The LCD panel gives me now all colours it can show in more

then a half of it after using in this moment :-(

Im not Schwarzenegger, the pressure i did is harmlessly :(

i likewise arrived at the conviction the fact that this is a production error and also as reference as will indicate this thread.

(sorry for my bad english)

as I do root tab 4 t231 with

I can not install applications, everything becomes a failure.

sorry my English language is not good
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prmbasheer:
My suggestion is never root your device with apps like kingroot, kingoroot, iroot, farmaroot, etc.

The best way to root a device is by flashing superSu or superuser.

yea this guy is right, afterfew weeks of rooting you will wat to flash custom rom anyways, and you canr flash supersu without twrp or other custom recovery

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroPDA:
After unblocking bootloader, rooting. TWRP and flashing different firmwares I got this message when I go to eRecovery: "Start WiFi Failed!"

My phone was NXT-L29C185B103 originally. I flashed [ROM] [B165] KangVIP Slim **UPDATE 1/6/16**. And WiFi eRecovery then still worked when bootloader was version C900B103 (see attachment) (I have with dialer *#*#2846579#*#* ). But then I did many things and WiFi stopped working from eRecovery and with bootloader C900B160 it already has stopped working (see attachment). Probably I spoil WiFi driver (I don't know where it is with WiFix Manager. I'm not sure. Because it seems to me even after playing with WiFix Manager WiFi in eRecovery worked. The problem was that my Mate 8 in normal mode didn't see 5GHz WiFi, but with WiFix it started to see. In eRecovery mode it saw always my 5Ghz WiFi Network until I spoil it and it stopped starting at all)

I tried to many thank to make it work:

1) Restoring firmware with 3 buttun update. Didn't work

2) Flashing new firmware with adb fastboot

Is there any suggestions hot to solve it?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] greyhulk:
One of the biggest disappointments for me with this phone was the lack of 3rd party support for the Always on Display, which would make it so much more useful.

When I was setting up the phone, I was in the Edge display section and it prompted me for an update. Looking in the Always on Display section, there is an "about" which tells you that it's already on the latest version.

Does this mean that that feature could potentially be updated separate from the ROM and functionality could be added later? It seems so and gives me hope for the future with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] redline06:
There will be 3rd party support, just gotta have patience since the phone isn't even officially released yet lol

Wothout third-party app support, always on display is pretty useless to me.

Hi everyone :)

My X2 is arriving tomorrow, but I tend to see in the long term : As the battery is the first limitation to the lifespan of this machine, does anybody know where to find a replacement ?

Disassembly looks complicated but not out of the question, but I wasn't able to find place to buy the battery from. No emergency yet, I think I have about a year before the problem arises :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Aznbull:
Try here : http://www.maxbhi.com/battery-for-huawei-mediapad-x2.html

But they don't send international, so if you figure a way to get a hand on the battery, I would love to buy something from that site aswell.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Moxybul:
Just a quick info : I've discovered and explored Aliexpress, and it's a wonderful ressource for our x2's parts. After having found a replacement for my broken screen there, I eventually checked for batteries, and of course here they are :

[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeonWizard:
I have no idea what is in it but if it is a "non removable" battery then my guess is that you could just search for lipo cells on Alibaba or wherever for a cell of similar dimensions. They should all be 3.7v but just check the old cell to be sure that a new cell would power it properly.

If you use the Verizon Support & Protection app and request support, they will be able to tell you are rooted unless you mask it...but in terms of practical use it doesn't make a difference.

My question is about kernel managers. I bought the Franco kernel manager and the ElementalX kernel manager. Can I use those for Kylo? Would you recommend another manager? I downloaded Kernel Auditor.

One thing I really like about ElementalX kernel manager is the ability to change the Governor profile (I used GhostPepper for a while). I'm wondering if the EX Kernel manager can be used for ALL kernels? Is there a way to change governor profiles for Franco kernel manager?

Hi.

I can't get the VoIP to work with my Kaiser.

No problem getting it to work with my Hermes.

I have downloaded and installed the file:

"VOIP Drivers"

"MajikVoIP"

and I'm using Schaps VoIP Config tool.

I can get the device to connect to the SIP server, and it will show in the home screen as "selected"

however, whenever I try to make a call, I get the error : "Network Service not available. Try again later" or some other messages about how the connection can't go through

The SIP account is set up to only accept g711 (either ulaw or alaw).

Has anyone experienced that problem as well ?

What did you do to activate VoIP on your Kaiser?

Thank you

Jean-Yves
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] le_cactus:
Bump!

Decided to install VoIP to. But whatever I do I get the same error/message. I tried a WIFI and G3/GRPS connections, I tried VoIP Buster and our Company (Swyx) IPPBX and the alle result in the Network service not available message.

I tried the same accounts on my Wizard and the work flawlessly.

Anybody can shed any light on this matter? As far as all the other other threads go VoIP should work without any problems.

TIA, cheers,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] epoot:
Same problem here

I tried many different solutions from different threads. I even managed to get the call another phone using VOIP (VOIPbuster network), but the other phone could not hear me and I could not hear the other....

I used different cab files like MajikVOIP and WM6VoIP, but no configuration works. I even tried different IPDialplans, but no avail...

Hopefully someone could shed light on this issue.

Oh, my ROM is the original UK rom...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Sleuth255:
actually, different problems.

@jyavenard/le_cactus: does it work over WiFi? If there is a block or proxy then WiFi should work. TMO is known to actively block VoIP on their European network.

@epoot: your issue is something altogether different and not easily answered since in-call audio loss isn't fully understood yet. I suspect its bandwidth/codec related and have done testing which supports this theory, but I have yet to produce a working low-bandwidth codec due to logic troubleshooting difficulties.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] epoot:
Hi Sleuth,

Thanks for your response, strangely enough I looked at my profile and it seems that I am from the US. Well maybe I created this account when I was travelling, but I am living in the Netherlands using the operator Orange with a non-branded HTC Kaiser (bought it without subscription).

I am testing VOIP over Wifi and have tried the different configurations found in the different threads of this forum. Never got it to work though...

So the proxy issue you mention does not affect me, I think? It might be another problem...

In one configuration with certain cabs from one of the forums, I kept getting the searching... status and VOIP did not work. In the other got the message: Network service not available...

In antoher configuration I finally managed to call someone, but no audio from both ends...

I was hoping to find a walkthrough of a successfull VOIP installation on an orginal UK rom...

Cheers,

Edwin

wierd, I could've sworn the OP's info was US/albania not yours epoot... Sorry for the confusion, I've edited my previous post for clarification.

I've installed the TNT VoIP cab available in the cabs thread. After I removed my AT&T hidden proxy along with the two port restriction entries in hklm\comm\rtc\adaptertypes I was able to connect just fine over 3G with both-way audio. My only issue is that sound plays out the back speaker instead of my Tilt's earpiece speaker.

Hi sleuth. I am using Tmobile from the Netherlands with an unlimited 3G plan. i was wondering if u can tell me where i can find the Tmobile's hidden proxy ( if there is 1) and how to modify/edit the hklm\comm\rtc\adaptertypes in order to use my Tmobile 3G network for VOIP. What i see is that the string value is set to default. Atm i am using ur VOIP cab with VOIPCHEAP, which works fine over WIFI..but getting disconnected if i want to use it over Tmobile's 3G.
