[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] floydian42:
Hey Guys,

I have noticed have been a few reports of S7 Edge screens cracking for what seems to be no reason. Mine has lived in a Pelican cover all of its life

I had mine next to my bed last night, before going to sleep I turned it over to be screen side down, and I heard a weird noise coming from it (sounding something like an electrical short). I picked it up, unplugged the charger, and was able to see the cracks appear as they slowly (over about 4 seconds) appeared all over the screen.

From looking at it, the cracks appear to have originated from the volume buttons?

Does anyone have any ideas / other articles / posts that I can see to help me with my case with Samsung warranty in Australia?

Thanks a lot for your help

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDesso:
It appears that the display cracked from within? Did you apply any considerable force to the volume buttons before this?

Can you feel the cracks when running your finger across the screen?

I'm sorry for your loss, though you actually seem strangely calm when discussing your spontaneously cracking smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] floydian42:
The cracks seem to be from within the screen, and you cannot really feel anything from the surface.

There was no unusual force applied to the phone that I can recall.

The part that really confused me, was the fact that it seemed to take about 5 seconds from the start of being able to hear the noise, to the time the cracks had made their way across the screen.

Yeah, not calm, pretty pissed about the whole thing actually. I was hoping I would be able to find a few more examples of this happening to others, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

Contact samsungs customer service, maybe there is a chance that you get it replaced by samsung. Doesn't look like it's your fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
The problem will be proving that. I'm not implying the OP isn't being truthful, but you can pretty much guarantee the majority of people that go to Samsung with cracked screens do so whilst claiming that it just happened and the phone hadn't been dropped/manhandled etc, even if they had. Unfortunately, I can't see this being repaired free of charge.

As for the photos, I can't look at them without cringing! I'd be mortified if that happened to mine. Hope you get it sorted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] floydian42:
The phone is currently with a service centre in Perth WA.

The guy I spoke to there was one of the biggest douche bags I have dealt with in a very long time. He had very close to zero interest in helping me, and pretty much laughed me off the whole time.

Yesterday (after about a week of it being at the service centre) I contacted Samsung Support, and they informed me that the warranty case manager at Samsung had rejected my claim as hey do not cover physical damage. I informed her of what had happened to the phone, and why in my opinion it should be covered. She said that there was no information on the Service Request form about what had happenened (written and sent in by the DB in Perth), and all the request said was "Cracked Screen and customer is escalating for Samsung to Cover". There was no information about what I had said happened, and as the case manager does not have the physical device (I am assuming they are on the other side of the country), they just directly rejected it without any thought because they don't normally cover that sort of damage.

Long story short, they are going to re open the service request with the new information and see how it goes.

This time I will be able to speak directly with the Samsung case manager and explain to him my version of events, instead of wasting my time with some smart arsed tech.

Fingers crossed :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MoHuToP:
Simmilar issue like Note 5/ Edge Plus. The problem is from drastic temperatures of charging device and surface of your table/ plot. The phone is very warm because of the charging process but the surface of the plot is cold -> and boom, the screen or glassy back cracking. My opinion is because of the slim body of the device, when the battery going to degredation the dimensions is going bigger and there is a chance to crack the whole device from inside.

Same. S7 Edge Glass Cracked for no Reason

I recognize this thread is old, but same thing happened recently to me with my S7 Edge after less than a month. Never broke a phone ever, had it in a case, didn't drop it. Broke similar to yours. Samsung basically said 'we don't believe you' and that was the end of it. Done with those guys. Nokia was also a once great cellphone Company who similarly got smug like this, and how many of you are carrying Nokias around these days? Exactly, none of us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DeathBlimp:
I know there are posts about going from 4.3 to 5.0, but I have Root de la Vega installed and I've read a lot of warnings about that method of rooting. I currently have xposed running for apps like adaway. I would like to know if it's safe to use ODIN to just update to 5.0. Or do I need to undo ROOT de la Vega first?(if so, how?) ideally I would want to go to the latest stock firmware with root access and also the ability to change firmware if I want a custom one. (i'm not sure if stock firmware has issues with switching to custom)

My other questions are: does it matter if i flip the KNOX bit anymore since my warranty expired? Does anyone even care If I plan on reselling my phone? Does the KNOX bit stops you from doing anything anymore?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] audit13:
Just flash to the latest rom via Odin. You may have to perform a factory reset before the stock rom will boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DeathBlimp:
would the factory reset remove the root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] audit13:
Yes, root will be removed.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidherder:
I have this almost brand new note 5 and it keeps freezing up a few seconds after loading into the OS. I've tried already a few things like:

- wipe partition cache

- load into safe mode(also freezes up)

I just need the photos as I'm exchanging it under warranty but there is no way for me to access the data. I went to best buy and they said they could retrieve it but most likely the phone would be damaged and it would cost me almost as much as the phone itself. Plus any modifications would break my warranty.

I feel helpless here. Is there any way I can get the data without loading into the OS?

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DartzSoryu:
Hello everyone, as a lurker, I got many usefull things through this forums, so thank you really, you have saved my neck countless times.

This is my first post, because I ran into a problem and I can´t find a reliable solution for this.

You see, I ofered a service to someone to repair his Moto G (model is XT1543, Dual SIM, 16GB ROM and 2GB RAM).

It was messed up very badly, so I thougth that the only way possible was to factory reset the phone.

After that, the phone, after the wifi selection at startup, asks for a google acount, I tried to log with mine but the phone says that I need to log with an acount used in that phone before. I called to the owner, but unsurprisingly, he can´t remember his email, neither his password.

The phone refuses to boot with any other google acount, it always asks for the previously used, but is missing.

I reinstalled the stock rom, and the result is the same, it seems the problem is server based and not hardware.

I attempted to install a custom ROM, but the bootloader check on dev settings was unmarcked, thus, impossible to acces now.

Am I screwed over? :crying:

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rexme1:
I have a Nexus 7 2013 16GB Wifi Model, and i bought it to a local repair shop. But it seems i was ripped off as the repairman could not repair it.

I noticed that some of the circuits are missing from my Nexus Logic board and Nexus no longer boots up.

Can anyone please help me determine these circuits? Here is a picture of the logic board.

All that is marked with a yellow star in the picture is what i am asking about...

drive.google.com/open?id=0B7LGwJIcFvH1WUtyNWZSTnhYRFU

And also are these parts important? Will the tablet work even without it? Where could i get a replacement of these parts?

Thanks in advance.

P.S Sorry for bad ernglish
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
What was the original problem? What is the board's revision number?

If it is rev.1.4 and the components are unsoldered/missing, then you were indeed ripped off.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rexme1:
Yeah mines the same revision to the picture you attached. (ME571K_MB Rev 1.4)

The problem was that my nexus was charging really slowly but i didn't really put much attention to it. Then one day while charging my nexus i accidentally dropped it and the charging port went loose so i sent it to a local repair shop to fix the port.

The repairman said the charging ic was also the problem. but then after a few days they still couldn't repair my tablet.

They returned it looking like a mess.

battery wires were a bit chipped off. (No problem here, i used a tester if it still has a connection to the board)

the charging port was soldered upside down.

copper pads covering the circuit was removed.

some of the plastic parts on the speaker looked melted probably due to the solder mishandling.

So is there still a solution to the missing chips?

BTW. Thanks for the reply.! :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k23m:
The charging IC is probably gone if the port was soldered upside down and powered up. The missing components can not be identified because N7/13 circuit diagram is not available. A working, second-hand N7 motherboard can be purchased for $25 on eBay and it's the cheapest solution. Let us know how it goes....

:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] rexme1:
Oh ... so it's really busted huh. Thanks for helping me out.

But buying another logic board isn't one of the options i have.

I guess that i'll have to sell it somewhere then.

Thanks again.! :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] echow2001:
Sell the daughterboard after you fix the port, it only has the touch IC and should be good. Those are worth quite a bit. So are the screens especially if you include the frame. Just selling those separately should be enough to get you a n7 2012 or even a 2013 if you get lucky.

Directory Hotlist & German translation for Total Commander v2.52b2

I figured I will make this Thread a little bit more usefull. If you want to add your own Directory Hotlist in Total Commander you can do that by editing the following registry entries or download attached file, and import it using something like XDA_UC or a Registry Editor. Make sure the path is correct. These were made by me to fix wrong entries in the EnergyROM's up to April 12th. Also added the German translation cab for Total Commander.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\CECmd\Hotlist]

"CMD1"=\\Windows\\Autorun\\
