Cracked screen

Today I picked up my S7 Edge with my thumb and forefinger at the bottom right corner and it cracked the sscreen and spiderwebed the entire screen. I inspected the phone and noticed that the glass is raised just a bit around the whole bottom edge of phone. It's enough that you can feel the screen push in.

s7 edge nightmare

Hi,

my first time posting...

I had pre ordered an S7 edge here in India and received it a month ago.

had spent 2 weeks with it and spent the last 2 weeks in and out of the Samsung service station.

First the screen was defective with bad burn in issues. They took 10 days to get a display as it was out of stock...

Then the Call speaker busted while they were replacing the display....(they also forgot to pop out the headphone jack leaving a hole straight into the center of my phone - thank god I did not dunk it in water then)

they replaced that today and assured me that the phone was as good as new ESPECIALLY THE WATER RESISTANCE which I asked them about a 100 times... They have the machinery to attach the phone together with the special glue as they are Samsungs official service center... BULL S**T...

I tested the phone by putting it in a mug of water for 10 minutes and the water seeped in... the volume buttons are not working and the heart rate sensor is frosted over... the phone now refuses to get out of Safe mode...

I call Samsung customer care furious and asking for a replacement...THEY DONT DO REPLACEMENTS ONLY REPAIRS HERE IN INDIA... they are now sending me back to the same service center tomorrow to determine whose fault it is that the volume buttons are not working and then will determine what can be done further...

This is pure hell ..... any advice Please?

Samsung india seems to have poor Manufacturing and quality standards here in india and i changed my s7 edge for a poor front facing camera,then when getting another one i found two devices having one dead pixel each and another guy here had display issues...................ask them for a replacement dont go for repair and be harsh---if possible post on samsung mobile india facebook and twitter.....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CWDavy:
I'd be right onto Samsung social media style. Don't stop there dude. Send email to CEO. Someone will give you a replacement if you keep bang on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sirmalcolm666:
Thank you Guys .....

In the last week I have had multiple phone calls with Samsung India explaining my story each time to a different engineer.

first level said we do not replace or refund.... the senior engineer came back saying its my fault that the phone go wet and water logging is not covered under warranty so I would have to pay 35000 bucks to repair it as the motherboard, camera and other **** had all fried...

I then lost my cool and threatened to file a case in consumer court against Samsung.

they then put me on to their management who after a couple of phone calls called me back just now and said as a special case for me they would repair the phone for free..

I must say that the service center guys were really cool by supporting me to explain to Samsung that it was not my fault..

I guess in a couple of weeks I'll get to see my phone again...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semseddin:
That is plain bad, i would ask them to exchange the device with a nib or continue with the consumer rights for a full refund.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nissl:
Hi folks,

i hope there aren't so much threads around similar to this.

But as you see in the title I'm looking for a custom ROM for HTC M9.

Background is that i consider buying one but i'd like to make sure first that it is possible to flash a stable and supporting custom rom like CM13 or LeeDroid to it.

But as far as i figured out by scrolling throug this forum there isn't a rom available which supports all functions of this device, is that correct?

CM13 is not supporting the camera(s) and a few other things, but no support for the camers is actually a show stopper anyway.

I was not able to find out what LeeDroid is not supporting at the moment, but i'm quite sure it has also a few bugs...

Can someone suggest a stable rom for a daily usage, or can i forget it and do i need to consider using it with the "stock" rom and its bloatware?

My desire would be, having a CM13 or a customized ROM which is alike to it as a compromise. The most i'd like to have a cleaned rom without such performance killers like Sense...

Anyone?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roobwz:
Im using candysix that is based of Aosp with several good features. Id recommend both candysix and leedroid.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nissl:
Thanks for your reply. I flashed LeeDroid on my One i got yesterday. First impression is nice.

Do you have some experience with it?

Any advice how to setup "Auto Unlock" with a 6 digit Pin ? =)

With a 4 Digit pin it unlocks right if the correct pin is entered, but this wont work with a 6 digit pin. I tried with Xposed Modules "Sense toolkit" and "Gravity Box" but no luck so far. =)

Hello,

I installed OziCe in my GPS Invion (wince 4.2 loaded from SD card). It

works fine but, every time I turned on the GPS, OziCE asks to re-enter

the registration code. All the other configuration are correctly

reloaded, togheter with last used map.

No problem exiting and restarting OziCE, when the GPS remains active.

It seems that OziCE saves the registration code in same 'volatile'

memory, not flashed at hard shutdown.

I tried to check the registry, comparing them with remote tools before

and after starting OziCE, but I foung nothing.

Does anyone know a way to solve or workaround the problem?

Thanks, Filippo
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattv3x:
Found a solution

Hello,

for who may be intersted, I found a way to workaround the issue writing a MortScript (download the interpreter and instructions from http://www.sto-helit.de/).

This is the script I wrote; obviously you have to change the OziCE username and password and the path to OziExplorerCE.exe.

After insatalled and registered MortScript, copy the script in a .mscr file in the device. Executing the script would start OziCE inserting the registration code (if needed).

Ciao.

#OZI CE start

regName = "MyOZICeUserName"

regKey = "MyOZICeRegistrationCode"

WindowTitle="Inserisci Codice di Registrazione"

EngWindowTitle="Enter Registration Code"

OKWindow="OziExplorer"

ozipath = "\SDMMC DISK\WINCE\programfile\ozi_1.12.3\COMMON\OziExplorerCE.exe"

nLoops = 200

Run(ozipath )

#WaitFor(WindowTitle, 5) #returns timeout error if not found...

i=0

While ((ActiveWindow() ne WindowTitle AND ActiveWindow() ne EngWindowTitle) && i<nLoops)

Sleep(50)

i=i+1

EndWhile

if (WndActive(WindowTitle)=1 OR WndActive(EngWindowTitle)=1)

actWin = ActiveWindow()

SendKeys(actWin, regName)

SendTab(actWin)

SendKeys(actWin, regKey)

SendCR(actWin)

#WaitFor(OKWindow, 5)

i=0

While (ActiveWindow() ne OKWindow && i<nLoops)

Sleep(50)

i=i+1

EndWhile

if (WndActive(OKWindow)=1)

SendOK(OKWindow)

EndIf

EndIf

using mortscript to enter OZICe on a windows CE 4.2 device

Filippo, nice work!

That mortscript you wrote works a treat on my navigation box.

I was unable to work out how to do a cab instal of mortscript. My navigation box won't start .cab files. So I need to run the bin:version of mortscript first for the Device binaries (whatever that means) and then I can run your mortscript. Love watching mortscript typing in my name and code.

OziCe now asks for ECW.dll - where does that file come from and where should it be? in windows? in storage card root? in oziexplorer folder on storage card? in nandflash?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Deleted member 1890170:
OziExplorerCE: Preventing registration key reset turning off the GPS

Please apologize warming up this thread, but thought I'ld share my solution here.

1. OziExplorer stores user-registration data in file named 'gihobj.dll' in OS's folder \Windows.

2. Hence you backup once this 'gihobj.dll' , then always copy it to \Windows before you start OzExplorer.

I suggest to use a wrapper script as following to start OziExplorer:

#OziExplorer Launcher
#This script must be located in OziExplorer's installation folder
#or you have to alter the OziExplorer 'ozipth' below!

Local()
ozipth=SystemPath("ScriptPath")
oziexpl="OziExplorerCE.exe"
regdata="gihobj.dll"
winregfile="\Windows\"&regdata
bkupregfile=ozipth\regdata
#check existence of registration data
If(FileExists(winregfile))
#OK, run OziExplorer
Run(ozipth\oziexpl)
ElseIf(FileExists(bkupregdata))
#OK, but in wrong folder, hence copy registration
#data to \Windows, then run OziExplorer
Copy(bkupregdata,winregdata,1)
#wait max. 2 secs
cnt=0
While((NOT FileExists(winregdata))&&(cnt<20))
cnt+=1
Sleep 100
EndWhile
Run(ozipth\oziexpl)
Else
#not OK, hence start OziExplorer with entering user-registration data
RunWait(ozipth\oziexpl)
#backup OziExplorer's registration data
If(FileExists(winregdata))
Copy(winregdata,bkupregdata,1)
EndIf
EndIf

Hello,

I have an old pda with WindowsCE 2002 installed.

Can everyone drive me applying the suggest of jwoegerbauer?

I can't find the file 'gihobj.dll' I think because I don't see the hidden files so:

1. how can I see the hidden files.

2. how can I create the script file? is it a batch file?

many thanks at all,

[Samsung Gear VR] Akram.:
YOu can try moonlight or Sideload vr
[Samsung Gear VR] AdVanceYourself:
Sideload VR has an app called Stream Theatre. It utilizes Nvidia Shield on a computer that has an nvidia capable card (I think the minimum is a GTX 660). It's not perfect getting started up and can be a pain up front. but once it is running, it runs very well. It loads a steam OS like platform into the theatre screen native with the Gear VR.

Although, I'd like to stream from my laptop (Intel HD4000) and have not found a way to do that yet.

Edit: Nvidia shield can be found in the Geforce experience app on the computer.

Hi!

I have a problem.

A few day I ago I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Z5.

But since that day my phone acts suspicious. Several times a day Chrome opens and tries to load one of these pages:

www.doktorenmorten.com/sf5/retarget/kDe23SH7d73jdhsjkf...............
www.empotrndoktor.com.com/sf5/retarget/a3e4e2egt573jdhs34rd...............
www.socketraw.com/sf5/retarget/kDHhd343uhakdhehHGh...............

The are some more variations.

I cannot figure out what the hell is going on. :(

Yesterday my phone started playing an unknown song on the highest volume in the background. I had to switch it off.

I tried some virus / malware scanner apps. But everyone says that my phone has no problems. :/

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikarisan:

Im having exactly the same problem but on my s6 after root any ideas how to fix this? Fed up of web pages being hijacked.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i Podius:
I don't believe this issue is caused by Malware; I have just started experiencing it on my Galaxy Note, which I just installed a CyanogenMod ROM onto, but I have previously experienced it on my Nexus 4, which was not rooted, and which was running totally stock Android KitKat. I've also had a friend complain of the same issue, also on a Nexus running stock.

What version of Android are you running?

I find the issue only happens in Chrome, and that if I delete site data; (in Chrome, open: Menu > Settings > Site Settings > All Sites and then go through and delete the data for any sites that look suspicious/that you don't recognise) the problem tends to go away, at least for a while. That, and the fact that it only seems to happen on certain sites (sbmc-comics.com, for instance), leads me to suspect that it's actually some dodgy JavaScript/a cross-site-scripting bug that's to blame.

I've also disabled third-party cookies (in Chrome, open: Menu > Settings > Site Settings > Cookies) so you might want to try that, as well.

Although, that being said, I've never had Chrome open on its own (the sites just hijack pages I've opened), nor has my phone ever spontaneously started playing music.

This might be a big problem. I clicked a link on facebook in Chrome on Anroid (not rooted) while waiting for service at an insurance company today, than got called up and forgot all about it. After opening up my phone again at home I noticed that the pay-through-provider website (O2 Germany) was open, with an error message that payment didn't succeed, although I have never used it.

sf4/retarget/kDE24SKK0FUE3P1003V00GEP100J0S030MAN1MQd64005BK700J0S00

came up. The title and the webpage are empty, also doktorenmorten.com doesn't show anything. I looked up doktorenmorten.com within the history of my browser, and it shows with the title of the article I was trying to read before, but the article is actually located on another server (aktualne.cz).

Weird. I hope that it is some kind of a javascript hijack. I have now disabled chrome on my phone and will wait what happens. I am pretty concerned, because all sms verifications are set to my phone, if someone could in theory controll my phone, he would be able to access everything. If its an android or chrome problem is not important, this is almost a deal breaker with google for me, because I cannot risk that texts with payment confirmation codes go to an unrooted yet compromised phone.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calvinerico:
