[TG01 General] crenga:
On my tg01 my screen does not work on the right upper corner, about 20% of the screen size. If i bend the phone, dragging the corners upwards or downwards, the screen start to work as i should for a small period of time. I must bend it very often, I'm afraid to brake it.

Does anyone know how to safe open the tg01?

What type of screwdriver should I buy?

Is there any tutorial with pictures?

Can I fix by myself the digitizer or I must replace the whole LCD?

Any tested suggestion will be hardly appreciated! Thank you!
[TG01 General] drkdeath5000:
Our TG01 has 4 Triwing screwdrivers under the battery cover, i bought a full set of these (sizes 1 - 4) but found none of them to fit so before we can open it up we need to find a triwing screwdriver or bit that fits. I think the best bet is to try one of those nintendo ds or wii triwing screwdrivers to see if those fit, i've seen loads on ebay. Keep meaning to buy one myself to try. If you manage to get those triwings off im guessing you'll next need a torx set usually sizes 5 - 10 will do for phones but you may be better off getting a full set. As for guides / tutorials on dissasembling i had a look myself but couldnt find anything.

Best of luck to you and if you manage to find a triwing that fits please share with the rest of us ;-).
[TG01 General] crenga:
Orange service is the answer

my tg01 got a new imei. the problem was the mother board, not the digitizer. they changed it in orange service. now i test the device to see if it works ok. my old dragon was network free, this one is orange locked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fusion06:
I can't figure this one out and it's driving me crazy. it seems that everytime i go to a site... be it facebook, news, other internet sites..it copies any picture on that page,onto my phone without me even DOING anything. so say i want to change my wallpaper... so i go into albums and then select 'all' ..i get wallpapers, photos i took,etc. and that's cool..but i also have a bunch of crap in there like symbols and icons that comes with the themes i have.

i guess theme icons are suppose to be in there too, and i guess i can live with that but it's a pain when you see a clutter of that mixed with peoples facebook pictures, article pictures, covers of ebooks that iv'e downloaded...seems like when im online,ANY picture i come across gets downloaded automatically. does anyone else have this problem? is there a setting i need to change? :confused:
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
I find selecting and copying text very difficult.

For example, from calendar. Which by the way I have to "edit" because you can't dial a phone number from a calendar. ( Seriously google are you just kidding around with that by the way? )

Mainly the selecting part.

I find this impossible to do easily, takes multiple tries because of not getting the cursor positions right, and I don't think it's just me.

Here is my workflow. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

1. First, the keyboard takes up half the screen so now I'm left with only about 5 lines of text so I have to scroll around the meeting text entry to field to find the text I want to select. ( If I hide the keyboard with downswipe or other method it does not come back! )

2. When you find the text you want say a phone number 1-752-555-5234 I try to touch immediately before the 1, but as soon as I touch the screen, the entire field scrolls to the bottom.

3. Now I have to repeat step 1

4. I seem to have to do steps 1 to 3 twice for some reason (not kidding) it does not seem to give me the vertical cursor hairline (calling it a hairs width thickness is being generous ) the first time.

5. Now, I will have the cursor correctly at 1. Because if I am one digit off, I have to repeat steps 1 through 4 until I get it correctly positioned.

6. Now, long press on screen, choose select text.

7. Now repeat steps 1, 3 and 4 (skipping 2) until get the cursor at the correct ending position.

8. Once this is done, which for me can take up to several minutes to do, I can easily copy and paste the text.

If you've used an iPhone or even Windows Mobile 6.x you know how hard it is to understand that google failed so miserably at this.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
While I admit copying/pasting does not seem particularly easy on our phones, the Calendar app we have is NOT the stock Android one so you should actually aim your criticism at Samsung. Same with the Messaging app (Samsung's work, not Google's). I'm slightly more used to the iPhone long press technique and it's magnifying glass technique, but I'm sure it's something they'll (they being Samsung) will attempt to improve
[Captivate General] cesierra:
if you are using the Samsung keboard. Long press the 123? key, that will take you to an editing menu.
[Captivate General] deuX`:
This works on the swype keyboard as well; swipe your finger to the right from the info button to the SYM button and it brings up a selection keyboard. Very useful :)

-deuX`
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
And your point is? Have you ever tried selecting test with that? Clearly not.

EDIT: My Bad. THANK YOU, Cesierra.

With a little practice that works great. For those who are curious, it works. It positions the cursor start position at the bottom of the calendar entry. From there you can up-arrow to position the cursor exactly where you want, then selection is easy. A very good kludge as kludges go, I am impressed.
[Captivate General] cesierra:
you are welcome
[Captivate General] Gerle:
Thank you cesierra/deuX!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarporing:
Hi All,

I have a problem with my Hero, and i am hoping some one could help, here goes:

I had my hero for about 6 month working perfectly including GPS with Waze.

Yestderday i decided to try out some new roms, i backed up my stock (with root) firmware 1.5 with nandroid. i installed Villainrom V12 everything worked exept Waze, it kept giving me messeges that there is no satelite reception (which is not possible cause i always used to get reception there). So i went back and restored my backup and now it's the same, no satelite reception . . .

Did i some how fry my GPS component ? or is it fixable.

Thanks in Advance ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marky33:
Can't really help you with a fix but last sunday I didn't get a sat fix at home, drive 50 miles to London, still no fix, tried turning the phone on and off, gps on and off still wouldn't get a fix all the way there. Stayed in London for three hours, turned gps on when I left and got a instant fix! Been working fine ever since!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjg222:
I've had very similar problems with my GPS. It worked great on stock, but when I installed a custom ROM, I started having intermittent issues. I'm using VillainROM 12 and the most recent radio, and sometimes I get a fix right away, and other times I don't get a fix at all. When I can't get a fix, rebooting the phone almost always gets it working again. I had the same problem with an older radio and VillainROM 10. I do remember seeing a tentative workaround somewhere in these forums, but am having trouble finding it again...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marky33:
I spoke to soon, I tried it with gps status last night, wouldn't get a lock, drove 6 miles, still no lock, left in on for an hour, still no lock. Did a hard reset last night, got an near instant lock with gps status. I've tried it about 4 times today, got a lock everytime. I'll test it all week and see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarporing:
Well i had kept my stock radio , maybe i should try updating that and see what happens.

@marky33 When you say hard reset what do you mean ? did you take the battery out ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Hard reset is just shut down the phone and turn it on again (rather than soft - i.e. reboot using buttons). This can fix GPS issues but in most recent ROM's it should be fixed by default. It can also be a radio issue - get the latest and you shouldn't have a problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijnvy:
Ive had this problem with villainrom 12, the fix used to be to switch on the gps before a reboot, and then after rebooting ( with the GPS switched on) it would work and find satellites.

I havnt had this problem since switching to Radio 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14

Radio I used which had this problem with villainrom was 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marky33:
Haven't you got hard and soft the wrong way round?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marky33:
Like this below, wipes all user data

Power the unit off (removing the battery if necessary)

Hold down the Home and Back keys

Press the power button whilst still holding down the Home and Back keys

After a few seconds a message will be displayed on the screen prompting you to press the Menu button to confirm the reset process.

Release all buttons, then press the Menu button to hard reset the device
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
No, a hard reset is usually a reset which removes all power from a device and then starts again - i.e. resetting the hardware itself by removing power

A soft reset is a software reset - i.e. rebooting the software of the phone

What you're talking about is probably a "factory reset" which should reset the device to factory defaults (i.e. just been sent from HTC's manufacturing factory). But i have never seen it referenced to as a fix for GPS issues - or any issues involving custom rom's for that matter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marky33:
I stand corrected about hard and soft ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarporing:
Just wanted to let the people know that the problem was solved after doing the same thing as nijnvy, the second i updated i am getting gps lock in seconds.

Thanks to every one

Hello,

I have read alot of threads and posts about changing the fonts on android, using typefresh.

But when I am trying to change the fonts, nothing happens. I have selected the corrected fonts with the app, and pressed "apply" - after rebooting my phone, I still have the old boring fonts.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

KimG
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gaiking:
I'm looking to replace the current system "pop" sound when selecting apps or menus with a "click" sound....the only problem is that I can't find the location of the "pop" ui sound on the phone in order to replace it. I've searched through the directories and can find every sound but the one I want to change.

Thanks for the help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nyydynasty:
funny you should ask because I'm looking to stop that annoying 'click' as you browse the menus and such. I disabled the 'audible selection' which works but thats a different sound.

ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gaiking:
I found the sound to replace...its in system/media/ui ...it's named TW_Touch.ogg ......I just deleted it(after backing it up first) then moved the new click sound to that folder...renamed the sound TW_Touch.ogg ..Turn off selection sounds in settings then turn them on again...now I have a new less annoying sound...still too loud though...even at the lowest volume setting.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] stickyasglue:
Hey, was bored so i made this dock out of the samsung galaxy s box, have a go if your feeling creative :)

See attachments for finished product :)

GUIDE:

You need:

Knife/scissors (also a screwdriver (thin as possible) is helpfull)

Galaxy s box (and inserts)

Cocktail sticks x2 (dont need if you use a STRONG glue)

Optional:

Coins (to add weight)

tape/glue (if you want a little extra support, not needed though)

Heres a quick guide and some pics to help are in the attachments :)

!)Get the foam piece that the phone sits in when you first get it

2)Cut holes to allow cables to go through foam and plug into phone

3)Cut the foam side opposite the side that you cut the holes in to.

4)cut corner off the box which has the documentation in it.

5)Stick the bit of foam you cut off the box into the rim of the corner you cut of (the glue used to stick it to the original box should be sufficent so you dont need to add your own)

6)use cocktail sticks cut to make them shorter to attach the back bit you just made to the front.

7)Add coins inside back if you want more weight and stablility (use tape to secure)

8)Done! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chrisbjr:
This is really cool! I've been looking for a good dock so I can charge and have it plugged to speakers as well. Might make my own with the box too like you did. Very creative! Will need lots of time though. Thanks for posting this!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] The.Opethian:
Excellent post. With a bit of tweaking you could also integrate speakers in there somewhere. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tragictramp:
I'll buy 1
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] makamiso:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
Excellent way to recycle the box :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kempas:
If you phone needs a claim within the warranty period then you've just destroyed the packaging it came in - same if you want to sell your phone on in the future...

Really cool.

I Already ordered the phone, and this will be one of the first thing i'll do.

It's a great idea!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] richmc73:
Doing something similar to mine. Is there any good dock aps for the vibrant?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] richmc73:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SamsungGalaxySVibrant:

This post really made me laugh sooo hard. Thanks.

I won't be doing this, but very creative idea. You are a little Martha Stewert in the making.

Maybe I can add some tips. To make the cardboard box more sturdy and water proof. Get some clear polyurethane, add a coat of polyeurethane. It will make it more sturdy, thicker, and water proof.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] erickrios:
same here, very creative though
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hukkguai:
For warranty claims don't they just send you the phone and you send yours back? I do see where it can make a difference in selling the phone though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Arkymedes:
Brilliant! But I will try to replicate this with other boxes around the house..

I like to keep the boxes for added value in case I want to sell the phone (what I might think will not happen anytime soon :)

Thanks for the tip anyway :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] theharry:
I think DeskHome only launches your Dock App (according to comments), which the Galaxy S does not have. So be careful before buying it, might be useless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mickeko:
Should charge the phone at least? And it's not impossible to launch your own apps after connecting it... So saying "useless" is a bit of a stretch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] theharry:
Huh? I was talking about the mentioned application "DeskHome". All it does is start the "docking station" mode of the phone, so it will probably not work with the Galaxy S. That would be a 1 $ waste....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snapper.fishes:

Where did you get that wallpaper? I want it on my Galaxy now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] epakrat75:
Didn't see this asked yet...

Is this more more of a charge / sync "phone stand" or

does placing the phone in this makeshift dock trigger the home dock mode?

If it doesn't automatically trigger a real dock mode, any ideas on modifying it to do so?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AquaeAtrae:
I've had good success triggering dock apps/modes for my car (car charger while away), desk (usb while office), and bedside (AC while home) using either Tasker or Locale. At my desk, I start up Samsung Desk Home. As soon as I start driving, Pandora Radio starts up, followed by Car Home and it warms up the (currently slow) GPS in case I need it. Wifi, GPS, Keyguard, and Volumes are all enabled and disabled automatically as needed.

I've gone a step further using the headphone jack and bluetooth connections to set the phone to play music or podcasts while exercising, etc. Combined with the rtime-rec add-on, these also record where I was into a second Google calendar so I don't have to keep a time sheet.

This is just one example of how these great programs can be used. If you're a DIY hacker / control freak like myself, I would highly recommend buying one or the other and supporting their active development. Tasker is significantly more powerful/complicated but both can utilize all the Locale plugins you'll see around the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] apollag:
good idea. will try to make a similar dock. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] brunes:
I did a simmilar mod but I also did the following.

- I went to the dollar store and bought a picture frame around the same size as the box / dock. I then took it apart and cut out the backer material to fit the dock, and glued it on. This way I have a nice "factory look" kickstand for the dock, that works both horizontal AND vertical!

- I bought one of these (http://assets2.smartphoneexperts.com/images/product_images/accessories/additional_images/6100/large/2.jpg)

mini USB to micro USB conveters on eBay for a buck. I then put this in the exact right location for the dock and super-glued it into the foam, and used a mini USB cable to plug to my PC. So now it is a *true dock* with the USB port built right in. I just snap my SGS into it.

I will post pics later.
