There is an ant under my screen. I am not sure how it got there and I wasn't too happy when it stopped moving... I think it's dead.
Any advice on getting it out...
I already tried a vacuum cleaner, that didn't work.
I would open the device but I am not sure if there is adhesive between the lcd and glass panel.
Oh my this looks like a job for the Ant busters who you gonna call?888888888 ANT BUSTERS.
THERE'S SOMETHING STRANGE

Lmfao... I'm sorry.. This just made me laugh... I'm sorry about the ant though.. I believe you will have to take it apart if you can't shake it out. You're going to have to google a repair video for the 10.1. Lmk how it works out for you.

Well its scientifically proven, ants love Android.
LOL @ Ant buster...
Yeah I am guessing I will have to open it. The thing is I don't know if there is adhesive between the lcd and the glass. None of the disassemble videos I've seen removed the lcd panel. I guess I will have to do it on my own...
wish me good luck.
STUPID ANT.
I am guessing not even the ant buster could save me now.
Not really a guide, but maybe this will give you an idea: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-Samsung-Galaxy-tab-10-1-digitizer/8346/1
ROFL!
anyway, yes u have to open it. if you are unsure, watch some youtube videos on how to disassemble it. Good Luck. LOL!
This made my day XD But on a serious note, just follow the procedure of removing/fixing a screen
lol i'm sorry for no help but this is a very funny problem

Thanks for being the only one that offered any help.
I guess the screen is glued to the LCD with adhesive...
sigh... I really don't want to go through all of that just to remove an ant.
Here are the pics
..and i thought Samsung started their organic design recently with the s3
i´m sorry
Have you tried compressed air?
I believe that this bug is fixed in the ICS upgrade.
If you have any dead pixels, or any other hardware issues send it in for that and likely Samsung will remove the bug. I've used this app to check for dead pixels on my screen and have found a couple. Wasn't worth sending it in for a repair but if I had a bug in my screen I would. Good luck.

A black lettered day in my life ....
Today in the morning while riding on my motorbike on a croweded indian street ...my phone slipped out of my tracks & fell on to the road. It took me about a ~45 secs to realize that my phone is missing from my pocket
By the time i parked my bike & looked back i saw some people frantically waving & shouting trying to stop an oncomming city bus... & then i heard someone say the phone is under the BUS !!!
I ran towards the bus ( which had now come to a stop ) & peeked underneath & to my horror realized that that bus had actually come to a stop on TOP of my phone !!!!! My heart surely missed a beat ..had to ask the driver to back the bus to dislodge the phone from under the tire
Well here are the pics :
http://s1046.photobucket.com/albums/b462/wonderboyfarhan/A journey cut short/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYAJBVfe9to
The phone surprisingly is still in working condition despite being compeltely shattered .. i can still make calls, touchscreen is working (even in the broken areas)... GPS, compass, camera all seem to be working fine....i guess had it not been in the leather pouch it would have been much worse
PLease tell me this can be reparied/replaced...also could you please give a cost approximate..
Heres wat i think needs replaching
- Touch Panel
- Glass Front Screen
- Plastisc side body

True ..its just hard to see ur hard earned money go down the drain like dat !
I too am amazed that the phone still managed to survie this ...i was expecting it find X10 mash inside the leather cover...!! The battery has deep lines engraved on it by the ribs on the back cover .due to the pressure !!!!!
Can't believe it's still working, anyway i guess you wont think about 2.1 update anymore which is, hmmmm, a good thing
That's too bad for you, it's a really expensive phone.
I don't know if you can get the parts apart around your place, but here are the part numbers:
LCD Display: 1223-6264
Windows + Touchscreen: 1223-6264
and finding the housing shouldn't be too hard.
Perhaps you can try contacting SE, but I doubt they'll send you the parts.
Do you really need the touch panel as it is still working? The LCD and touch panel are different parts, you know.
If I were you, I will contact SE and show them what their phone got!.
May be ask them a replacement as a reward from your unbelievable story.
Your phone might worth making a nice ads for them

Amazing, never have to worry about using your phone in the rain again as well.
I hope this becomes standard.. and soon!
I have been lucky to never kill a phone with water (well there was a nokia dumbphone that went though the washing machine) but still, wow.

True but the rain would interupt with the capacitive screen making it nearly impossible to use in the rain anyway.
But this does look promising. Hope it starts rolling out on devices this year!

To be honest I haven't noticed that, but considering the fear of getting the bloody thing wet im not surprised.
Not dying in the wet it half way towards usable in the wet at least
(and considering when we get rain over here, we really get rain, bloody hell!)
(Also that's a stupidly good movie, gotta love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost)
My Note has been running PERFECTLY ever since I received it, then suddenly today, while I was browsing, the screen just shut off.
I thought It might have been rebooting but I restarted it many times, took the battery out and the screen will not turn on I even put it in the fridge (just incase it was overheating) Nada.
The HDMI out works, and you can tell that something is happening but the screen is just black and then slowly fades to green (see attached picture).
I've never dropped it, It has never come into contact with water or anything, this is just out of the blue.
Any ideas or just a very late showing fault? I'm devastated!!
And if it is the unthinkable, what is the best way to backup everything (settings, launcher settings etc) I can just use HDMI out and guess where to touch.
Could be a screen failure. Time to send it to the service centre.
Dam I would send it out for service..

This is horrible, James. I know how much you love your Note thanks to your fantastic videos.
I usually perform two backups. One using Titanium Backup with the external SD card as the backup location and another using CWM (nandroid).
Do these and you should be all set. I guess you have a bluetooth mouse. Use that to navigate the interface.
Awww man that sucks. I'm really sorry.
Give it back to Sammy... they'll fix it.
If you need a video/instructions how to do a nandroid backup, do tell (if HDMI doesn't work).

Hmm not good, i never heard of it and i think it isn't easy to repair.
Just send it back to Samsung. Do you flashed any other Roms on it or just do something else with it?
Hey guys
Just got the phone and i have to say it works great, but battery life sucks if you go outside in the sub-zero temperatures. It dies in a few minutes! WHY doesn't samsung make a sub-zero resistant battery?
And frost easily collects on the screen, better buy a screen protector for that.
Anyone else notice wild penguins love to claw the phone? They must seem its a fish or something, if you leave it outside they peck it like its no tommorow.
Here are some pics.
Dawg, like you have it rough. I got the white version. I stepped outside to feed my penguins and I dropped it! I can't find it at all.

Disclaimer: Not for faint heart. Do not try this..
It hurts bruh!!
If you are thinking of doing this, wait for the killer at the end...glad to know I will have a nice looking paperweight if I drop it 3 times
But nice find.
But I'm really impressed with the vertical drop, where the speakers landed first. I expected the chassis to be filled with dents and holes from the rough surface. But damn our phones are sturdy man!
"Post if you have done the same"

I'm actually surprised it holds so well (well, except for not working afterwards anymore hehe).

I don't like that video. As have been told, they didn't record it straight without video cutting also they didn't show if it works between falls, they didn't try to call if problem is only with display. If I want to guess what is wrong with that device I would rather say that only ribbon cable don't have good connection than device is broken.
You should understand guys that these people are sponsored. They might be getting so much from apple or sammy or lg, or even nokia. They need to make the competition look bad so that people would look the other way around. Sometimes they use these kinds of diversion "Oh I'm really surprised that the phone is holding up so well. The screen might be broken, chassis is junk, back plate/plastic/glass is also broken, but on the lighter side the phone still works flawlessly." ORR "This phone works quite well, but I just can't accept the fact that the loudspeaker isn't good enough."
About the loudspeaker diversion, they're just looking for something negative for their closing remarks. Because that's what usually sticks to people, the closing remarks.
Well, and one should always remember that one instance is no guarantee for other instances...
In these drop tests it can matter quite a bit if the angle in which the phone hits the pavement is just that bit off, or whatever other random influence. It is just AN indication, some ppl drop their phone once and it's immediately shattered. Others drop the same phone 10 times wth only minor dents as a result.
But my response was mainly because people shout "FAKE" or "PHOTOSHOPPED" at just about every video or picture posted on the internet, it was nothing personal @gm007

SEVERAL TIMES? Dude, no offense, but are you retarded? after the first time, did you not think to yourself "maybe this isnt the best place to put the phone"?
And for the people saying about being fake? what? why would it be? a) the unit was probably free from sony anyway.. if not then b) the views they get on youtube for that video most likely pays for the cost of the phone. and c) they do this drop test with most of the phones they review. so remind me again why this could be fake?
The reason they didn't show the phone working after each drop, is probably coz it broke after the first drop, which meant that there was no point in carrying on with the drop test. And they wanted to carry on with the drop tests. That's all!! Stop with the bribing nonsense.
