This poor N1

Got this thing in at work today. It was an AT&T version. Scavenged the speaker for a coworker and LED board for a spare. but holy hell, this thing had a rough life. looks like it was roughly taken apart before I got to it. Makes me kind it sad. :-(

MURDER!!!! Why would anyone do such a poor thing to such a helpless device?

How did you get it?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

the people that butcher these things can suck it imo.

imo we should have pulled the display just for S's&G's...

Is that huge piece of copper part of the flex circuit, or just a heat spreader under the battery?

Are you selling any parts? If that AMOLED/Digitizer is still apart (never been replaced/pulled apart) im willing to buy it.
I replaced mine, and the screen keeps getting dust under it. Once the digitizer is replaced, it's hard to keep dust from getting under it.

Both myself and crusher work for a used electronics reseller... its already on ebay... its broken though so you might be able to get it for cheap. The bids start @ $1
And no the diaplay/digitizer havent been separated.

Pm me the ebay link please.

me too please, I want the housing

Wow that was a powerful hack, what rom did you flash? Did you even do a nandroid backup before flashing? What recovery did you use?

I can PM you the eBay listing once it actually goes active. Don't really think there is anything usable from it. Whoever sent it in DESTROYED it.

Pretty much everything. Most of the ribbon connectors were messed up, all of the mounting screws and hardware were gone, wouldn't charge or power on, and it was just generally beat to hell.

I remember reading about these on gizmodo or engadget or something. They announced them then disappeared for a year or so, then released them. IIRC, the reviews were poor because they do not fit in a standard sized electrical box that most outlets have, but instead require one that is slightly bigger. Unless the contractor that wired your house had exceptional foresight, count on knocking a rather large hole in the wall to pull out the old box and install a larger one.

Yeah, this was an issue for me. I bought one only to find out it wouldn't fit in any of the electrical boxes in my room. Definitely something to consider.
Another issue to consider is if you have wall warts (the plugs that are big black boxes), those will block the USB ports.
I do remember the manufacturer following up on one of the reviews saying it was looking into making a small more compatible version. I don't know if anything came out of that. Anybody know?

Only your comment has nothing to with the Evo. A USB wall receptacle is pretty useful to anyone with USB devices, including the Evo.

Wall worts with usb built in would be useful as well. No installation needed.

Thats actually a pretty good idea. I'd hate wall warts a lot less if they did this.
The closest I have seen to this is a nightlight that has a USB port.

Isn't there a like a wireless mat charger?

A USB wall outlet would be very easy to make yourself if you had any basic soldering skills (and electrical knowledge, of course).

or you could just plug it in to your pc lol

Spontaneous screen crack sg3

Hiya guys I've had the most interesting thing happen to my .sg3 yesterday. The only way to explain it is as a spontaneous screen crack! My phone just cracked by itself!! Yes without a lie! It's the most microsceptic crack I've seen and after a few minutes looking at it i decided to measure the location and it's exactly in the middle of the panel! No one believes me and people think I'm stupid. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I've done some research and have found that other Samsung phones have done this but there isn't allot of info about it.

Is this really a thing? I mean that this can happen, I have never heard about anything like this before.
Show a pic of the crack if possible?

Well from what info I've gathered on the web it is very rare!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

probably because of the curved glass. Curved things tend to bend when they reach certain point. the gorilla glass 2 being thinner than its predecessor should crack easier especially when bent. Send it back to Samsung, the crack seems natural and is a Samsung fault rather
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe you. My friends AMOLED screen crached but the glass was perfectly fine on his Droid RAZR. It was extremely weird and did not make any bit of sense.

Well see the thing is i didn't even move from my desk at work when this happened! It's so so strange. What would be the best way of contacting Samsung about this , because atm I've talked to official Samsung repair people and they all say I'm crazy and 3 just told me I'm a liar and that i broke it on purpose. (As if!)

You should go to the 3 store and show them the device because there is no way anyone can make a perfect straight crack like this on purpose/accidentally.

That is what i said! I showed them the phone and they just made a mug of me!

Happy chap, new Z1 turned up

I had to send my Z1 off for repair after my girlfriend bricked it, she plugged the magnetic charger the wrong way round and somehow managed to make the contacts meet. Needless to say, one fried handset.
Sent it off about a week ago and have already received a new handset from Sony under warranty with them citing that the design shouldn't allow the contacts to mate in the reverse polarity under any circumstances and that it was a concern that it managed to happen.
Less than a week from sending my handset away to getting a new one, no questions asked and no money paid. Although they forgot to send my charger back with the replacement handset so are sending one that will arrive this week sometime.
Happy chappy here! Been using a Droid Razr and boy it is crap!

Good to know about your replacement, but when I make the magnetic charger fix the phone in the opposite way, the phone switches off and reboots and doesn't get bricked.

Cheers I don't know why it did so much damage to mine but Sony confirmed it was the charger plug being reversed that was the source. So it's now official, it CAN brick the phone if you connect it the wrong way round.

okay noted, was once plugged it the wrong way, but nothing happened nor it's rebooted,

Wonder what would hapen if you plug in the magnetic charger and the micro USB charger at the same time.

How can you even connect it in reverse polarity? And diagram to explain it?

Well the pins aren't actually identical either side of the magnet. The lower of the two pins if offset in its little plastic circle. That should stop the pins touching the wrong way round. One pin is positive, one pin is negative. It's not rocket science. She just pushed it hard enough it made a contact somehow.

Holy Cow... too sad. I hope OP folks investigate it and come to some conclusion. Btw, we have seen news of IPhones n samsungs explode as well.

Need an invite for this, to see your leg burning ?

Another reason to use a case as it could have been a lot worse.

He's saying if he didn't have a case, it could have been much worse.
The case helped prevent it from being directly against his leg.

Yes, another misunderstanding of my part. Need to sleep more today...

Holy crap that's not good. Clearly a defective battery, the melting in the back cover is literally shaped around the battery.

says put in back pocket - may have sat on it and punctured the battery. but then said burned his leg? funny...

maybe Samsung/Apple will fight over this and send him a new phone and make a big thing... lol

I noticed a few things
1st He says the phone was in his rear pocket and then burn marks are of his legs.
2nd The OPO also seems like it had an impact from outside heat instead of bursting from inside.
He maybe honest but I've had a phone explode on me and the damage wasn't this severe.

This is likely simply an issue with the individual device/battery, I doubt OnePlus have cheaped out on the battery and every smartphone uses a Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer battery. Once these batteries have heated up or malfunctioned badly, due to the high concentration of power in a small area there is nothing stopping the reaction continuing. Similar things happen regularly with Samsung phones and even iPhones.
OnePlus are going to reimburse him for the phone, his clothes, and any medical bills.
Tl;Dr - seems like a catastrophic failure that is just in the nature if Lithium Ion/polymer batteries

Unless your ass has a solid 90 degree angle and its edge rests dead center on the OnePlus One, and you weigh more than 300 or so pounds, you're you not going to "puncture" the battery...

What are you talking about, the burn marks are exactly where they should be on the side of his butt, right where the the side of the back pocket burned and the side that bursted on the OnePlus One.
The the plastic melted exactly as it should if the heat was applied from the interior of the phone too...
