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.

Chassis Separation above charging port

My GTab does not have this problem and I plug it in to charge every evening. Have had the unit since late-July of last year.

Unfortunately, I can't say that I have heard of this happening before. My 10.1 isn't experiencing that, and neither are any of the 10.1's owned by friends and family. At the same time, our tablets are the earlier versions (purchased at launch) that are lacking the Samsung branding under the glass above the charging port. I have a question for you though, has your device been in to Samsung for service? If not, have you contacted Samsung about this? This is definitely something that is covered under the Manufacturer's warranty.

Just received the return shipping label. They asked what I'd want if it couldn't be fixed? I said a 32 instead of a 16 if it had to be replaced. LOL I doubt they show me that kind of love.

I know its just a dream

So they said my screen is warped/ bent, on top of that they say the chassis is now cracked, when my pics clearly show that is not the case. I call bull****, what are my options?

keep complaining... that's the ONLY way with this bozos....you'll eventually get to a "manager" who will take you to another "manager", then they will either replace it or fix it.....i did that for 18 times with my hp laptop...what a piece of junk.

Just pissed never so much trouble with them. I have several TVs from them and a phone never no problems.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Are they saying since it's "cracked" it's not covered under warranty? Just wondering cause that's definitely bullsh!t.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using one stinky finger.

I'm telling you...get high enough where they give you an email address...email them the photo...they have to fix it...if not...complain...go higher and higher till you get what you want.

So they sent it back despite the pics and everything, wanted me to pay 199.99? Totally dissatisfied with this. I own several nice pieces of Sammy equipment and never any issues....

Hmm, look at that, I kind of see a sliiiight little bump on mine too. I can press on it and see that it does deform a tad. Now you got me all paranoid. Its definitely no where near as bad as yours though.

I really hate to revive such an old thread but the bezel near my charging port has cracked exactly as described as well. Has this happened to anyone else and has anyone gotten a resolution. It seems this is definitely a manufacturers defect

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!

Dead Pixel on Camera

I just got my Nexus 4 (16GB) after being in Limbo 2 since Monday and when I got it today and tested the camera, there was a black mark/dot on the camera. It appears on photos and anything that accesses the camera. I've already called up Google and placed an RMA, but I'm curious if anyone else has this issue?

Yeah, this is the first time I've ever seen this before. I didn't even know it was possible to get a dead pixel there.

Very strange indeed, maybe there is a dust spec stuck inside the lens

Sent from my Nocturnalized One XL using Forum Runner

I think it's probably something very small stuck to the glass of the camera. Can camera's even have dead pixels?

take more photos and we can make this into a game of find the black spot!

My phone has a rattling sound when shook, or picked up quick, tapped....
Then... i started focusing with the camera and the camera focusing started to make clicking and locking sounds....

Yeh it doesn't look like a dead pixel. It looks like a speck of dust/dirt..

looks like a dead pixel to me. i had the same on my Galaxy Nexus, but the dot wasnt as big as yours. Proceed with the RMA and get a new one

How about trying to take some reference pictures. Get a sheet of paper with a grid on it and take a photo then give the camera a good (but careful) shake, then take the same photo from the same place and see if it has moved. If so, you know it's dust.
Not sure how that helps cos you can't get at the camera to clean it out. I suspect you'll need to RMA it either way

Yea just call Play Support. I confirmed with a rep today that they have phones in stock. Just be prepared to have them place a pending charge on your card for the amount of the phone while waiting for the warranty process.

Pretty much this, except my replacement hasn't shipped out yet it even though I place the order on Monday evening.

Seems like it was just dust as the black mark is no longer there.

[Q] Nexus 7 Screen magically cracks..

The most "wonderful" thing happened today.
Here's the story:
I bought my Nexus 7 tablet a few months ago. I love this tablet, it's by far the best I've used. Today, I placed my tablet on my table after using it, and turned on some music on my laptop and danced around. It did not fall, didn't fly off, or run and fall down (what?). It was there the ENTIRE time. I then went back after a snack, turned off my music and decided to watch something on Netflix in bed. But one thing alarmed me. The bottom portion (equal to where the camera is on the top) had a gross crack, which extended in three sections to about the bottom half of the screen.
What. The. Heck. ??? Was what I promptly said as I stared at the crack. Now normally I'd shake it off and say "If I can use it, it's fine." HOWEVER, I can use the upper portion and some of the middle, I CANNOT use the bottom half. What does that mean? WELL guess what. It means I can't press the home, back, or other button. So I basically can't use it. Not a good idea after all, is it? I also can't type some letters. If it was in the toppish, I'd be fine with it. But this is ridiculous.
Funny, this happened before with a certain Dell laptop. Closed it. Placed on table after going upstairs. Lifted screen. Huge black gash on it.
Amusing on how cheap products are these days. For paying $199 I wasn't expecting pure gold, but this? Is it THAT sensitive? Please.. what kind of luck do I have.
Now to where I need help. What can I do now?? I sold my cracked laptop for $150, got a $50 from my Dad, and now it just CRACKS. And he woulldn't believe me after the other laptop. Now let me do say I take great care of my things. My phone has no cracks, or dents, or scratches and I've had it even longer. Is it possible to fix it? Please help. why me.. Is there some way I could move where the 3 buttons are? ugh.

You could buy a OTG cable and use a mouse on your nexus 7. As long you can see the screen to click on things. You can pickup a OTG cable for couple dollars on amazon or eBay.
If you bought the tablet from Google store. Try contacting them about trying to get it fixed. If you bought it else where you would have to contact Asus about it.
