[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarfaraz1989:
Hi,

My nexus 5 lcd works intermittently. Touch works just fine. Its the display that goes on and off on its own.

The screen remains unlocked and the touch works as well but the display just shuts off. The display works for a bit and works perfectly and then just shuts. A few toggles of the power button and if i get lucky it starts "displaying" for a few more seconds before shutting off.

I can see on off messages in the linux kernel. Unfortunately, the device is in a shop and i cannot post those messages here right now.

From the hardware architecture, I gather that the display bus is not directly connected to the motherboard/SoC. It runs through the usb flex and then connects to the SoC.

Any ideas what hardware component can be at fault here? The display panel itself? The usb flex or the motherboard ?

Its an old phone. I would like it if some one with hardware expertise could share some pointers here and If anybody faced any similar issues. I am ruling out software problems as I rooted it one day and am fairly comfortable with Linux based OSes.

I am also wondering what roles the usb flex plays and if that could be at fault here.

P.S: I am not sure if this makes any sense, but the more I keep the phone off, the more duration the display remains on "in the first wakeup", a few minutes later it becomes intermittent again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarfaraz1989:
oh and everything else over usb runs just fine. USB data transfers/ charging. Is the display powered directly by the SoC usb flex plays no role ?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polv89:
Hello, i have a problem with an Xperia Z5, i replaced his lcd+touch screen, when i tried to boot it up it power on without problems and so ok..When i was reclosing it i tried to power on but i can't see nothing on the screen and i have regularly triple vibrations and red led not fixed..do you know what's happened and what can i do?

P.s. without screen connected charging led is green and not red..

thanks a lot
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorche:
Hi Polv,

did you fix it? I have EXACTLY the same issue. With disconnected screen, the mobile boots. If I connect it after boot, there is also the screen active. Unfortunatly touch doesn't start, so I can't enter the pint- Using OTG instantly shuts down the mobile.

I tried 2 batteries, no one works. THX a lot :)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorche:
If anyone has the same prob, I answer myself:

It seems to me to be a thermal oder electrical contact issue located in the upper third part of your mobile. I can boot mine into operation by pressing the power button and TWISTING the phone along its axes about 1-2cm. Also stop charing the phone at 70% or so. Stamina Mode in addititon reduces the risk of a spontanous triple vibration shut down.

By this is was possible for me to boot the phone sveral times and get my data. After that, throw it into your recycle bin ;)

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] kaizokan:
Hi all, I got a question related to the Data storage protection, OEM unlock and flashing.

I have a rooted stock rom with custom recovery. I still have the data storage protection. So it is not possible to backup or flash the Data storage, but only System in custom recovery.

Now I know I can patch the storage protection to have full root access and make full nandroid backups, but I see this storage protection also as a protection for when I loose my phone and someone for some reasons wants access to my files.

Now my question is IF I have OEM unlock option disabled in OS, will this prevent someone else from removing the storage protection, while I still keep the possibility to flash a stock rom with Odin and does this always result in wiping internal storage (not just apps) or is there a way to keep internal storage data like pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
I wanted to start this thread to find out if people will be/are getting full credit for their trade-in phones through Samsung.com via the Prior Note 7 Owners Trade-in Program. $425.00 was promised but this is a wait and see situation.

1. What are you trading in?

2. Condition of your trade-in.

3. When did you ship it back to Samsung?

4. Did you get an email confirmation (and when) that the trade-in phone was received and does it state the value they determined for your trade-in?

I'm trading in an iPhone 5S that is Mint. Shipping out today (Sept. 9, 2017). I printed out 2 copies of the FedEx shipping label from my order page on Samsung.com. One for the outside of the box, one copy for the inside of the box wrapped with the phone in bubble wrap. I took photos of the phone, photos of the "About" page in the phone (includes serial number etc.).

If they are basing the trade-in value on the condition of the phone then I'd expect the full $425.00 trade-in value. If they base it also on the age of the model of the trade-in phone and do not give us the full $425.00 then that's a big screw job on us from Sammy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raneym305:
I received a $250 credit for trading in my old Note 4, which was only worth $63 without the promo for being a *cough* "Former" *cough* "Note7 User"...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
According to several posts in the various pre-order threads, Samsung will accept any phone in any condition from Note 7 owners and give them the full $425 discount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raneym305:
Meh... I've been using a flawless, full battery, FREE Note7 on the same Verizon unlimited data plan I've always had, for over a year AND got a shiny new Note8 a week before the official release date, AND sold Verizon back a glorified paperweight at 400% of it's market value... I'd say that I'm still coming out on top!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RiffyDivine:
So you went thought verizon, they ran the same deal samsung did?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raneym305:
Yeah. However, you have to register for the promo prior to adding the Note8 to your cart, or else they'll only give you the standard trade-in value for your device. I made that mistake initially, hence the $63.00 Note 4 Trade In Value.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mbmike29:
I just dropped off a pristine Galaxy S7E at FedEx. My fingers are crossed that I get the full $425... Anyone know how long it usually takes to find out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
well after the return period, so you're stuck with whatever decision they make
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] done12many2:
I sent in a fairy used condition Galaxy S3 after talking with numerous promo CS reps. It arrives to Samsung on Wednesday and I am confident I'll receive the full $425 trade-in value for it based on the previously mentioned conversations.

I'll update once everything is final in a couple of days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] justinblue48:
Did anyone receive an email with a packaging slip or just send it with the shipping label obtained from my orders on the Samsung website?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
Look forward to hear from your for the trade in result. Samsung CS agreed to let me sent in a good condition Note 3 for the $425 trade in promo last week. I also got conservation ticket. But don't know if they will honor their promise for the MAX $425 discount or just partial trade in discount...

BTW, did you get label from Samsung when you receive your note 8? Or need to call them to get one. Can't find any return label link from my order page and still wait for my note 8 arrive tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
http://prntscr.com/gk02v4 Once the Note8 ships, go to the Orders page and the "Trade in for Note7 Customers" item should have a button that says "Print Label", which you can just print and tape onto whatever box you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] done12many2:
Per the promo CS reps that I spoke with, Samsung is going out of their way with exemptions for the previous Note7 owners during this offer. They will give the full $425 trade-in value for any phone as long as it works.

As mentioned by [MENTION=8194940]Arjun403[/MENTION], the pre-paid shipping label will show up once your Note8 ships.

Good luck man.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hagalah:
Thanks for the info. Yeah, the label appeared on my order page!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mbmike29:
I used the return label from my orders on the Samsung website.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
How are you guys trading in Note 4's and other older phones? When I go to the trade in program link, there are only specific phones that are available for trade In like the Note 5, S7 Edge, IPhone 6s etc. I wanted to trade a Note 4 but it wasn't even listed as an option. [MENTION=452374]done12many2[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
You have to contact Samsung and get an exception.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harveydent:
IIRC, it took them more than a month to get back to people during the s8 /s8+ trade in promo. And I remember them taking as long to approve the pre-order bonuses for the Note 7. Hopefully, though, they'll speed this particular promo up since it's for people who got burned by the Note 7, and it looks like the preorder bonuses for the Note 8 are getting approved faster this time. So fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] done12many2:
Call (855) 726-8721 as that is the direct line to the Sales/Promo Department. Don't bother with chat or 1-800-SAMSUNG. Go straight to the source. ;)

Good luck man.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Awesome, thank you! I appreciate that info.

My first payment on Samsung account is due on 14th...still no extra charge for trade so it's looking good...it'd be nice if they could email confirmation of trade value though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth703:
Just sent my first payment off also due on the 14th
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tangmu:
I registered and got an email Sept 29 saying it was approved, and they'd send another email with a link to purchase the Note 8. I never got a 2nd email so I called them today and spent 20 minutes talking with people who didn't know what to do, so it got "escalated". Anyone else run into this? (sorry, I have not read all the previous 18 pages)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Mine was received the 14th of September, it's been over a month and still haven't received the "promised email.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
I don't think there will be any emails. Never got charged any difference from the deducted $425 so I'm not worried about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] myechophone:
It will happen. Do not loose hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
I have still never received any correspondence or charge against my credit card from Samsung for any unexpected amount after sending in my trade-in (immaculate iPhone 5S). I'm looking at this as Good News! Hopefully it's Samsung's final attempt at trying to redeem themselves with their "faithful" customers over the Note 7 debacle! I'll certainly accept that!

All in all, I am extremely happy with my Note 8. I couldn't select a better phone right now!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcdanielvzw:
I haven't received any confirmation either. Sometimes "no news is good news. "

Ps if anyone's knows what movie that is excerpted from kudos!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Given that the first time the phrase was in print was in 1640 in Italian (Nulla nuova, buona nuova), and basically considered a modern proverb, you could likely find it in a few movies.

There is even a movie called No News is Good News..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keldig:
Got a charge for $546.65 I sent in an HTC 3D so i cant complain
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] myechophone:
Huh? When did you submit the trade in and when you received this notification of the charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Keldig:
I'm going by the charge on my CC. I thought it was a hold charge but that was in September.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
A couple of days ago I received a email notice from Samsung that my Note8, other stuff I had ordered and my freebie were "Shipped!"

I received everything last September! Time to check the credit card to be sure they aren't screwing me for the trade-in.

Anyone else get this errant email?

Update: no new CC charges... Phew!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
Yeah they just sent me an email yesterday for a free gear vr being sent to me that i don't remember asking for....but as long as it's free I'm open to it.

Man, even I am anxious about this. Trading in a different phone.... even more tensed than people freaking about when will I receive my note8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arjun403:
What I find interesting is that their using FedEx Ground for this instead of their normal 2Day (or 2nd Day Air for UPS) service for repairs, etc. Mine was brought to a local facility here and was given an estimated delivery of Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] burrzoo:
Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I'll update too with my trade-in verdict. Keeping fingers, eyes and toes crossed that I receive the full $425.00. It will be interesting to see if Samsung comes through for us. Why even offer more than a non-N7 owner if they intend to just give us $25.00 for an older model phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
I could have traded in an older phone (note 4, note 3 even my note 7 which I am keeping because I freaking love it even if I can't activate it), but I decided to send in my S7 Edge.

I bought a mint 2 month old used S7 edge in february to use as my main phone after they blacklisted my Note 7. I got the S7E for $350 so ROI is good on that phone with the trade in, so I boxed that up to take to FedEx tomorrow as my trade in on the N8. I didn't want to chance not getting my $425 and I am 99% sure a mint S7E will get me the $425. I did talk to Samsung on the phone about sending in the Note 7 and they would have taken that in place of the S7E, but my teenage daughter stole my N7 for about 4 months and scratched the screen and broke a very small corner of the glass on the bottom left. So I didn't want to chance Samsung docking me for those things on the trade in, and the N7 is a great mini-tablet I use on Wifi daily anyway. So S7E is gonzo.

I still have a brand new S8+ (literally unused) that I will probably sell in the next week or so on Swappa. I will sell it with an unopened Gear VR bundle. Should bring a good amount and I can turn around and use that money elsewhere. If I need a back up phone I still have my Note 4 and Note 3. Hell even my Note 2 works fine if I had to have a backup for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Took my packaged S5 to the FedEx drop off on Wednesday, it's out for delivery today in Ft Worth. Hope they don't take long deciding what they're going to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leyvatron:
I haven't received any emails or instructions to turn in my phone and I already have the note 8. I got $425 through the note 7 email and around an extra $50 from Uni.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
No you didn't! I still have my Note 7 and it's going back to Samsung for a FULL refund+ cost of accessories I bought for it! I'm getting the deal by returning a iPhone 5. $850.00+ for Note 7 and 425.00-cost of old iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leyvatron:
Samsung will send you a little under 1k for the note 7 and give you full price for the accessories if they were purchased through Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Yes, they are slow to get you the check, but I can wait. I kept mine because I wasn't happy with any other alternative at the time. I tried the S7, but hated it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jongcruz:
Well I just got this update...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Not necessarily. I sent Samsung a pristine iPhone 7+ and took pictures including it's working screen. I used Amex to pay for the Note 8 purchase. Should Samsung renege on the full discount, which I doubt, one quick email to Amex with the original Note 8 invoice showing the full discounted price and pics and I know Amex will tell Samsung to pound sand and will honor the full discounted purchase price.

Samsung received the iPhone today so let's see how long it takes for a confirmation. ;)

3 LG G4's

$425 each, bought 3 Note 8's for$505 each.

Sold 2 for $900 last week, kept 1. So pretty much gotten one for free
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] myechophone:
Did you get a confirmation that your trade in was accepted?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FormeriPhoney:
Don't know why it wouldn't be. It met all of the requirements and I confirmed what I was sending over the phone with an agent
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] myechophone:
Yeah. But I have heard so many horror stories about rejection that it freaks me out sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FormeriPhoney:
I'm pretty confident. Both of my devices are in pristine condition. Not a scratch on them and in full working condition. I also took a photo of each device to have proof of it's condition.

I shipped my Galaxy S5 to Samsung just a few hours after receiving my Note 8 which was Tuesday, the package should be delivered Monday to Samsung and I will update this thread when Sammy replies. I did a full video detailing the condition of the phone before mailing it per other peoples direction just in case Samsung says there's something wrong with the phone. The Galaxy S5 was in very near mint condition, the only issue was that the bottom flap that covered the charging port is missing but I assume this will fall under the "wear and tear" category since most people I met with this phone also lost their charging port flap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:
Mine was a mint S5 and they received it yesterday around noon, now just waiting to hear what they have to say.

The 0.00 will change back once received to your prior max value, in my case 425.00. Happened to me this week. It was zero once shipped then 425.00 once received in Texas. No guarantee that is what they'll decide to honor. Odd online system they have.
