Dopod 818pro Screen Alignment

I dont know what had happened to my 818pro ... but I have to re-align my screen everyday ... the worst happened .. I have to unplug the battery first ..put it back.. turn the device ON .. and then do the re-alignment ..
is it hardware problem .. or the operating system problem? thanks.

hi asrulz. You from malaysia too? too sad i think u r having hardware problem. i gone through some other malaysia pda forum and u r facing the same problem as others. You will need to bring back to service center to fix the problem.

yeah .. i think its a hardware problem too since i've hard reset the device the problem still occured .. will bring to SIS for warranty .. BTW ..whats the main caused of this problem?

is the lcd problem, i had the same problem and got it replaced but waited for more than a month for the parts !! maybe there is a batch having this problem, not only in MY but in SG too..
do demand for a lcd replacement , they might just tell u flashing the rom will solve the problem, but i can tell u that it will not , is just their excuse. dun waste the time going up and dwn to SIS.

I have the same problem. SO its confirmed that its a HARDWARE problem?

Wierd Problem!! GOT PICS!

when i get this problem in the phone it doesnt make any sound when someone call or when the ringer is set up and i need to restart it so it will be fine but this problem has been showing up for 3 month and i got no idea what is making it!! and it makes my phone sometimes freeze and heat up :S

Are you currently on the stock ROM?

Yes T-mobile Stock rom 3.14

Have you considered trying one of the custom WinMo 6.5 ROMs? If this is an issue with the stock ROM or any recent updates then I'm certain the chefs in the WinMo 6.5 section have addressed it.
I'm on tytung's NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.0 currently and have been flashing different Android ROMs since I got my HD2 Just some food for thought.

I upgraded my ROM from T-mobile center but still no effect and im abit of new in this and i dont know how to do cooked ROM's and i dont want to brick my HD2 :S

Have you tried a hard reset (factory restore)?
You will need to backup your contacts etc first but this will fix any software issue you have.
If the problem persists after that, it is something more serious.

Yes already did 4 times!!! and backed up all my stuff with PIM Back up

anyone help?

Sounds like a hardware problem. this is a warranty issue.

also, you might have selected something wrong in the gsm/cdma settings, check your network settings.

Well, if your phone is out of warranty, and you don't have insurance, I am sorry to say you are out of luck. This must be a hardware issue.

A serious problem with my screen:(

Hey guys,
I have a big problem with my phone. When i came back from school. the screen backlight off the phone turned on but i didn't saw anything. So i charged it but still had the same problem When i boot up i still hear the bootup sound and when I press the power button the screen backlicht still turns on and off qtadb recognized my phone 2 so i rebooted to download mode and flashed a stock rom. I think it is something between the screen and the phone connection. But I still have warrenty. If i didn't i would just open in myself to take a look
some 1 got this problem and solved it? it is almost holiday here so i can just flash the latest dutch stock rom and get it repaired
thanks in advance

Try screen capturing for being more sure.

If i was you i should go to a repair center from samsung (hope there is one in your area because in belgium there are only 4 mobile repaircentra )
But first of course flash a stock rom

I flashed 4 times by now, so it isn't a problem with the firmware. I think it is a defect. but there is a service centre in range but it is kpn buissiness centre.. and my mother told me they can't fix it becouse they only do sotware (her htc legend was broken 2).. so ill send it myself if i can
thanks for all of you guys help

no thanks at all
I just searched on the site of samsung for Mobile Phone repair centers and In the Netherlands there are only 3 Repair centers for samsung phones all the rest of the repair centers are for Household Electronic and don't do mobile phones so i hope you live in the area of one of them
Good luck
EDIT: WOOPS there are more than 3 mobile phone repaircentra in the Netherlands

there are alot more.. but yeah they don't fix hardware as i said.. i will just send it myself if i can

Hope it gets fixed asap. We need guys like you to have a working phone
So nice to see all developers replying to your problem This is one hell of a community

they(samsung guys) can not/won't look at your phone bootloader. So relax & just flash a stock dutch rom without bootloader.

Very strange problem with the device screen

Hey ,
I have the device for about two years
Yesterday I began a new problem on device screen, every time I open it from sleep mode the screen colors changing.
I tried to wipe (not helped), I installed Rom stock by Odin (also did not help)
Even in revovery and download mod the problem occurs.
I uploaded a video to YouTube that shows the problem.
I have no warranty the device, what can I do?

what Rom - kernel - do use OC -UV

I had the CM9 with original kernel
I switched to rom stock of Samsung and the problem still occurs

I'm asking because your issue seems to be a hardware issue.. I've seen this issue in many other circuits where either a connection is loose or some circuit is damaged.. Please get your phone checked as it may not have been repaired properly..
If it was only observed in a particular rom or with as particular kernel, it would be a software problem.. But the fact that you see this issue even in recovery and while using stock roms indicates it is most likely a hardware issue..

It's something that can be fix alone?
As I pointed I have no warranty for the device .. Correction in a company can be expensive

Unless you're really good and experienced at repairing a phone and it's internals on your own, it would be better to give it for repairs at a service center.. They would know the issue and how to fix it better than you would..

Camera problem

Hi com,
When i open my camera and switch to the video function a warning appears that says "Warning, Record failed" (its translated from german) and the camera app closes. "Normal camera" works fine. I can take pictures without some warning.
I would send it back to Samsung but the problem is, i've rooted the phone already.
I noticed, when i plug in my Beats, the camera still works. The cable of my beats have an microphone so i think the microphone of my handy is broken.
Sorry for my bad englisch btw ...
Thanks for helping

sounds like a hardware issue....even though your warranty is gone you should try and contact them and explain the situation.
Is this on stock rom?

still need help ... its a very weird problem ...

Where did you buy this phone?
If you bought it from a carrier they most likely won't have the expertise or the competency to check if your phone is rooted

SOLUTION
"SOLUTION"
For everone who has the same problem, i flashed a custom ROM (Omega ROM in my case) and now the video camera still works.
It was no hardware issue because if the camera works why the video camera shouldnt work? I thought that the microphone had an issue because when i pluged in earphones with an microphone it worked. But it wasnt the microphone because it still worked when i was on phone.

Every now and then the Camera Failed message pops up when I try to use. A restart usually fixes it but at times I need it quick and a restart just takes away from the whole moment.
I bought the insurance with the phone from AT&T. Do I call AT&T, the insurance company or Samsung itself for a replacement due to the camera issue? I have a feeling if I call AT&T, they'll direct me to insurance but I don't think this is a insurance issue. Thanks
