Vibrant Screen Dead, no more. :(

Well guys my screen is really funny and it isn't working so I am going back to a small cheap AT&T Samsung phone.
I'm saving up for another Vibrant, I9000, or G2.
I'll be around, but not much.
Unless I fix my phone,no I'm not sending it to Samsung.
Okay guys cheers!

Good luck, see you soon

me too, usually. maybe it was just my expectations? "why are you so awkward?!?! my old 3310 cover went on with less hassle than you!!! ARGH!!!!"

[Q] Is it bad to do this?

Well sometimes I leave my phone by the sink while I shower, uncovered, and I was wondering if it's bad to do that. Could the steam mess up the internal parts or anything?

I have had a problem with the white sticker turning red, meaning water damage same thing.. But no real problems with the phone afterwards, however that voids warranty. :-\ so cover it up, or just leave it somewhere else up to u.

If the moisture (steam) gets to that sticker it will void the known warranty.

Where is the sticker btw? I actually just checked T-Mobile's extended monthly warranty(which I have), and I guess water damage is covered, so I guess this isn't needed anymore.

Well just to be safe. It's back of the phone when you take out the battery is believe.

I jest. I sell wireless for a living and sometimes you get those that come in and ask for the "4G". You ask which one and they look at you like you're an idiot. I then proceed to tell them it's only a type of phone and that there are many 4G phones. Same concept maybe.

All I see is a small, black, circular sticker that says void? Maybe it changes with different gens of the phone?

It is white on bottom right corner of the cutout where the battery fits in think.
I'll check its been there with all my others. I should check haha

Sounds like it might be hardware damage. Did you check and see if the battery has a proper connection. Does it turn on and off by itself or only when you move it?

only when i trow it let say in a table a bit hard but if i just lay it it wont

If you throw your sensitive electronic device at a table, it shuts off? Stop throwing your phone.
Sounds like a loose battery or bad power connection somewhere.

Don't do that.

Be nice to your expensive phone that would cost $200 to replace even if you bought it used.

Mine does the same thing when I drop my phone on my bed... It is caused by a little play between the battery and the battery cover. Apiece of paper folded and cut to the size of the battery and placed between the battery and cover has done the trick for me, and I believe it is just because of wear on the battery cover from pulling it too often...

If Duct Tape can't fix something (anything!) it's either damaged far beyond any hope for repair, or it wasn't really broke in the first place.
There's not a lot of middle ground.

Well phrased, and I'm glad that when my phone fell off the bathroom counter and bounced screen first off the hardwood floor, there wasn't a sign it had ever moved, aside from some dirt on the screen

Capacitive buttons be gone! :)

I am making this post in resonse to a request to see if this phone will boot okay with the capacitive button unplugged. Im happy to report that it does and works flawlessly im currently running aokp *not this does not only turn off the "lights" it completly disables the buttons.

Forgive the silly question, but keeping the capacitive buttons offers us more real estate, correct? The GNex can get away with having on-screen buttons since the screen itself is like 4.7", not 4" like the Epic...
Beyond the aesthetic value, is there something I'm missing related to the capacitive buttons?

I think it'll just come down to preference. Some people just like the idea of the on-screen buttons, even if it takes up some space.

Would help me get used to the onscreen buttons when I get my gnex

This whole concept of a phone being sexy is foreign to me. I'm not judging either way, just not sure how I could think of my phone as Sexy... Maybe if I gave it a name?

i only get bugged about is my damn "FAT BATTERY" they say stupid things like " OMG like your phone is too huge" or "that's ugly as hell" whats funny as hell when i don't have my charger by my side 24/7 because i can along time with having to recharge it.

Lol well if the sgs 3'sbattery is the same as the epic 2 and ours then ill prolly be swiping one of those 2100 mah or the extended ones that will come i can see up to 4000 mah if the battery as big as ours will start off at 2100 mah

I can see this to get the task switcher button. Holding the home button only works 50/50 for me as it will think I let up and just pushed it rather than hold it. May be worth losing the screen real-estate to improve multi-tasking.

It really isnt that much heres what you do set ur default screen density to 320 like the gnex then reboot clear the market data press accept then change the screen density to 200 so that it feels a little higher res this will make up for the loss in real estate.

Wow, the video is really bad. I don't even know what to say. I appreciate you confirming the button less function, but the video is mostly of a wood table and like a phone sometimes gets in the way of the the table. LOL
