[Fascinate General] tonybalonyy:
SO, my brother dropped the phone and slammed the car door shut. the phone still works and the glass (yay gorilla glass, lol) is fine. but the inside lcd screen is cracked. so i need a new screen and digitizer. i looked at the the steps and the replacement seems fairly simple.

the problem is finding the right vendor. all the replacement parts say "LCD" screen. but isn't ours super amoled.

the 2 places that have replacement parts are

http://www.repairsuniverse.com/samsung-fascinate-i500-lcd-touch-screen-replacement.html

but i read some reviews and they are quite sketchy.

and the other is ebay.

i know these both of these aren't OEM but i guess i just need the phone to work.

does anyone recommend where to buy the screen. price and reliability wise.
[Fascinate General] BartJJ:
I would definitely stick with an amoled screen replacement...even if you have to get samsung to do it because I wouldn't think that you can just replace the amoled screen with an LCD one willy nilly and it work as intended... especially considering the amoled is a completely different screen type... im in no way an expert on this though its just my 2 cents on what i would personally do.
[Fascinate General] tonybalonyy:
the problem is that i dont know where i can buy the oem part from samsung. and the screen on repairs universe says super amoled (LCD).

i looked on craigslist and the cheapest fascinate was 260 dollars.

i guess i will try the repairs universe product.

replacing the screen

So I was in the same boat until about 2 hours ago. Last Saturday I dropped my phone on the ground when I was getting out of my car and did not notice it. I was visiting my friend and noticed i did not have my phone so I thought i left it at home. Long story short, either i or the person who parked in the spot i was parked in afterward ran over my phone when it was screen down on the pavement. to make things worse by the time i backtracked far enough and found the phone it had snowed about a quarter inch. I thought everything was okay until i noticed that the top left hand corner was extremely cracked. Surprisingly enough though the phone still worked. Heart broken because one of the things i love to do is to put my friends quality of screens to shame with the quality of the fascinates screen.

The link you posted to repairsuniverse.com is the same place I ordered my screen from on Saturday night. I was worried that I would not get the screen I needed or just the glass and not the LCD.... yada yada yada... In my hasty research i did before I bought the replacement screen, I seen somewhere that it was the super-amoled touch screen that came originally with the phone. So after looking for any competitive pricing and finding none, i bought it.

I got the replacement screen today and it took me about 2 hours to replace it. It feels like the same screen, the touch response is the same and the amazing clarity is there as well. I don't know if you can order the glass of the screen separate or not. It took me 2 hours to replace the screen because it was a pain in the arse getting the old cracked screen all out. It came out in like 100 pieces. Not like the you tube video that was essential to my successful transplant. When I was examining the new screen, I did notice some samsung markings on some of the hardware on the back of it. I do think the screen that I got from them is an OEM part. Not only because of the samsung markings but of how the screen was matching up color wise everywhere with the old screen. But I did not see how it could be sold as 2 different items. Everything matched up great when installing as well. And it does have the verizon and samsung logos just like my original screen.

The price was worth it to me since i scored the phone off amazon for a penny. I am very impressed that the damn thing was even usable after being ran over by car. My htc touch pro would have never survived :D

Needless to say that I have working almost like it as good as new. The bottom buttons are all persnickity now, I might have missed taking off the back plastic on the screen in that area. I don't know. the buttons were more responsive on the cracked screen than they are now, so i don't think that it is the side effect of being run over by car. So I might have to take it off and check that out, the rest of the screen is just like new with looks and response. I may just be blowing the buttons out of proportion because i am looking for anything that I may have done wrong with the install.

I would go with this screen if i was in your shoes. Good luck I hope it works out.
[Fascinate General] turtle555:
and

I guess they are separate parts, I just looked at the sight and noticed this

Full Screen Assembly. Both super AMOLED (LCD) and Glass touch screen digitizer pre-installed.

after switching them out I know i don't have the expertise to put them together, unless another handy you tube how to video was done! :D
[Fascinate General] tonybalonyy:
thanks turtle, your post encouraged me to buy the part from repair universe.

i was worried because i read reviews and they were really shady (screen comes broken in shoddy packaging and they refuse to give you a refund.)
[Fascinate General] tonybalonyy:
how in the world did you get the screen to stick to the phone. did you use your own adhesive glue or use the stuff already on the phone. i kind of ripped it all off when i was taking off the screen.
[Fascinate General] mr_schticker:
wow thanks for the very informative post, I'm not in this issue right now but I have had friends crack a screen. Good to know its pretty straightforward.

everytime i flash a new rom do i have to do a clockwork recovery?

i understand i have backup everytime but do i have to do clockwork recovery?

ive done it with roms i flashed but most recently it says error to make sure i have a stable internet connection or my sd card is connected correctly
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slhpss:
don't flash from the clockworkmod app... reboot the phone and hold the down volume to get into the bootloader. Then choose the flash a zip from sdcard. then find the zip and pick it... it's much easier... also you can do a nandroid backup before flashing... and you should do a factory reset/wipe before flashing usually.

Just got my replacement phone tonight and can't upgrade it to 2.2 to see if it'll break...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackDino:
god damn it..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowugz:
Yeah, I wasn't able to upgrade tonight either. Was likely taken down due to the internal SD failures.

I was really looking forward to 2.2 so I repackaged Doc's Rom with JK4 modem instead and installed that with Gingerbread theme. The phone is insanely fast, looks awesome and still has 850MHz band with the i9000M :)
[Flipout and Charm General] zacharywater:
after installed a few apps in the flipout, I got the notification saying the fone is low in storage.

is it because I installed all the apps in the phone? well where is the setting for installing apps to the SD card? have been looking it up, but no sign of it really~

any help?

thx a lot!
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
On android 2.1 you can not install apps on the SD card by default. 2.2 introduced that.

If you install app2card or app2sd, you will be able to put your apps on the SD card. I use app2card.
[Flipout and Charm General] zacharywater:
so... is it possbile to upgrade it to 2.2?

thank you very much!

no, it is impossible at the moment.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidcarrot:
Hello,

I'm having some difficulties figuring out which update route I have to go with so I don't brick this baby.

I'm currently on Fido, and about once/week (usually on Mondays) I loose my 3G. I have to call these guys and get them to reset my internet connection. It then comes back. I am assuming this is crap that's coming from the parent network - rogers. Of curse CSRs are not trained, and they don't know anything about the waiver, nor signing the waiver, and then when I try to sign the waiver online it doesnt recognize my IMEI.

My goal is to update to a version that will (hopefully) fix this, and if I can get new CyanogenMod while at it, then why not. I would like to get the newest stable version. Priority is to fix the 3G dropping, so If I have to go for older CyanongenMod then let it be. Having said that, please tell me what my best route is .

This phone was previously on rogers. It says "Rogers" on the back, but this is not a standard out of the box rogers phone setup. My understanding is the previous owner has rooted it.

ADP1

Radio: 2.22.19.26I

RA-dream-v1.6.2

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidcarrot:
Also my current kernel version: 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 android-build @ apa26 #19

I read all the wikis and Im still confused on the kernel part.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr123:
If you have a genuine ADP1, then you MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT get 3G on robbers. I guarantee it -- totally impossible.

If you mean that you are losing your DATA connection (from 2G/EDGE), then I believe you.

I don't know where exactly you live, but if you live in OTTAWA, TORONTO, EDMONTON, CALGARY, VANCOUVER, or WHISTLER, then I STRONGLY suggest that you ditch robbers *IMMEDIATELY* and switch to Wind/Globalive.

1) $40/month (if you sign up by 24th of this month) for UNLIMITED calling to anywhere in Canada OR USA, and UNLIMITED DATA, with NO time of day or other insane restrictions,

2) A genuine ADP1 ***IS*** compatible with 3G on Wind,

3) No contracts,

4) Aren't you completely sick of those buggers yet?

5) According to an investigation by the COMPETITION BUREAU (that resulted in a multi-million dollar penalty being levied against robbers), everything that robbers has ever said about the quality of Wind's network ***IS A LIE***. Wind actually has a HIGHER quality of service than Robbers. FEWER dropped calls.

6) You ***ARE*** allowed to tether... specifically, they actually say so.

7) Last, but not least, Wind doesn't play IMEI and/or RADIO VERSION games with you.

So hopefully, you live under Wind coverage. I switched a year ago, and couldn't be happier.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
You have two choices here sign the waiver and keep a 2.xx radio or flash a 3.xx radio. I would recommend the first choice if you can do it because the 2.xx radios are more stable. The 3.xx radios would lock up randomly for me. The waiver wouldn't work for me either. I had to call them (Rogers) and get a technician to enter it manually. Also, the latest 2.xx radios give you more ram and make your phone much faster.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

If you really can't get that to work see this guide. It may be out of date so let me know if you have any questions.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio

It says "Rogers" on the back of the phone so it obviously isn't an ADP1. The custom ROM probably says that because that was the phone it was originally meant for.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidcarrot:
beav_35 - are you a Fido or Rogers customer?

The big questions is - how do I get Rogers to do this for me? They tell me they cannot escalate to level 2 because I am not a Rogers customer.

Where as fido doesn't have a waiver online or anything, and they just tell me "Sorry, this is not a Fido phone, so we cannot guarantee compatibility, just keep calling once a week to do your network refresh"
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
I'm a Rogers customer.

I guess your only choice is to flash the radio that they want. See the guide I linked to before.

Just so its clear the process should go something like this:

1) from fastboot flash 3.22.26.17 radio then a "R" recovery

2) reboot into recovery and flash your ROM and kernel port
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidcarrot:
So I should flash one of the CM's? I was thinking of following this "Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio" guide (I cant post a link, just google) but then it tells me that a Prerequisite is CM 4.2 and that part confuses me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beav_35:
I originally wrote that guide but some people have changed it around and added that. I think it is trying to say that you can't use a ROM that doesn't have an EBI1 kernel available for it. What ROM you have doesn't make a difference for flashing the radio. You just need to have a kernel for your radio before you can use your phone (flash a kernel port ontop of your current ROM or a new ROM). Make sure you always do a wipe before flashing a new ROM.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
OK, other than the fact that all the bb's in the area only had 3 nexus s in stock my beef with my phone is that I have a screen issue. Appears I have a ring shaped watermark in the display on any solid color. I've never even been near a magnet or done anything to cause this issue. Now I have to figure out who to get a replacement from. Other than that its an awesome phone. Gave up my vibrant and mt4g for this phone. Anyone have anything to report?
[Nexus S General] PrisonerOfDoom:
I think I got very lucky with my phone. i have no complaints with it. Good luck with your next phone, chances are it will be flawless.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
You really have to figure that with the amount of phones they are pushing out there is bound to be some issues sooner or later

I am in love with my phone
[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
You return it to best buy of course. They'll get more in stock. Call them and ask about it. Tell them about the issues.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
well that's fine. I will try to do that, but I will be completely out of a phone if I have to return it before they get any others in. After the problems I've had with my former vibrant and former mytouch4g, I bought the black tie warranty just in case.

I'm happily suprised at how much better the ns feels in build quality to my vibrant. I love the phone. If I had no watermark it would be perfect for me!

Besides the mt4g having better numbers on paper, this phone is just so amazing in comparison. It must just be the gorgeous display or the clean lines. plastic even seems better than my vibrant, though I do have the bb case they had, supposedly seideo? and I have some invisible shield type front and back covers (likely to just use the back protector) on the way.

Does anyone know of a BB in the Orange County, CA area or san diego that has alot of these in stock? I wonder if i have to return to the same store.
[Nexus S General] rohanaswani:
Nexus S defects

Hi, I had posted this one onto another thread - which was specifically for (likely to be a) hardware problem with the back button at the bottom left hand side corner of the Nexus S.

"Hi,

I just got my new nexus S (about an hour ago) that I was really excited about and am faced with a problem with the back button too.

Its got factory settings, so it cannot be a downloaded software issue. Also, I have not yet charged the battery at all, its still running on the same battery power that it shipped with.

The other buttons at the bottom of the phone (home, menu and search) all respond fine, its only the back button that does not seem to work. After going through this thread, I tried long-pressing the button, hard-pressing it, pressing just above it, below it, etc. It just wont respond. I had removed the screen protector it shipped with, so that cannot be the issue either.

If this is a known hardware problem (i.e. others have faced it too), irrespective of whether it is acknowledged by Samsung / Google, I'll return the handset. I do not want to spend a fortune and be landed with a handset that does not work - forget working as desired, but it does not seem to be working as designed !

Thanks & Regards,

Rohan"

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you can help me out.

This is the 2nd rom i flashed on my rooted desire. It is the Leedroid 2.2 f which is the previous build before his 2.3 build. My problem is that I cannot connect to T mobile edge, but my wifi, calls, and text work. I tried internet2.voicestream.com on the apn, with no luck. Is this problem related to my radio build?

Here is what I have:

Leedroid 2.2f app2sd+

latest radio: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.5.27
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavierjohn22:
Might be your APN settings.

One method i always do when i am on leedroid (before i switch to eMIUI)

1. on the stock rooted rom do a titanium backup

2. install leedroid

3. restore via titanium, select the sms, calls APN settings (usually green in titanium mark as system settings)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rs0cal:
So is it something that can be radio related? Or maybe a Rom problem? I'm not too familiar with what will happen if you install the wrong radio..so what symptoms may appear.

I used Edge on Tmobile because I am in the USA.

I normally go to settings and manually input under the APN: internet2.voicestream.com and it worked on a previous Leedroid build I used.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavierjohn22:
Your latest Radio is supported by leedroid, thats why i suggest Settings first.

On your working leedroid ROM, do a backup, titanium or backup pro.

Install the latest leedroid (others do full wipe before install)

Restore settings
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rs0cal:
Ok, the problem is solved now after a full wipe! Thanks for the help xavier.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautam.malik:
This is a basic problem with LeeDroid Rom.

Although it's easy to set up APN of a particular carrier one time, but when you travel often, you don't expect to remember APN setting of different carriers in the world and set it up again. It should be automatic.

I my opinion, LeeDroid Rom is the best HTC Desire Rom ever created by any developer. It's fast, battery friendly and stable. It's even better than Oxygen, which many people won't agree me with. But the problem of APN settings messing is keeping me away from LeeDroid.

My Story

I recently switched from the Incredible to the Droid 2 global to give it a try. Don't worry I got it for free thanks to the deal that Verizon is running about buy one get one of the same. *Upgraded a family member so I took the free one as I thought what the hell*

Now I've played around with this phone for 1 and 1/2 days so far and I'm not liking the battery life. I rather not return the phone as it was free and so I was thinking if I could just keep it as a backup that would be great.

Now my question is can I switch between the phones without going into the store? I want to activate my incredible again for a while since it got better battery life. *and before you ask, yes I've spent at least the last 15 hours using it like I did my other phone but still the battery was drained faster*

Now I have done a google search already about this topic and found this so far.

http://www.ehow.com/how_5046976_switch-phones-easily-verizon-wireless.html

Has anyone here done this before? I'm not looking to change anything about my services other than the phone. Both phones are smart phones and thus I don't see a problem but I figured I would ask the all mighty people here.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:

Eh well I have 1 problem with calling them. I only have my cell as my phone. So I can't call them on the phone that will be deactivated. I'm looking at this as saving me time from having to deal with going to the store or from having to call them.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
There's a couple of approaches (or maybe many more I haven't thought of):

1) Do you have a computer (not a phone)? If so, can you just use Skype or some such thing to call them at their 800 number or whatever it is? Then you can shut off the phone.

2) I have an old droid 1 and a dinc. I switch between them by shutting off the dinc, and turning on the droid, typing *228 and that's that. Reversing the process works as well. No one asks for the MEIN/ID, but once I had a small contract screwup where I had a replacement phone I'd forgotten about, and I was asked for the MEIN (is that the right acronym?) , and had to yank the back off to find it and give it to them. It is also in 'about phone' but the phone has to be on.

So none of that may be useful to you unless you have access to a computer and skype (or an equivalent).

Good luck -

So you say you can just turn off one phone and *228 on your deactivated phone and that will automatically switch which phone is active at the time?
