Has anyone else had this issue? My NFC Bluetooth headphones will not connect via NFC, I'm wondering if its just me or everyone.
I had that issue until I figured out that the NFC is behind the glass next to the camera.

Wow wayyy up there! That worked for me. Thanks!
great had the same issue
I had no idea it was behind the glass at the top cause that's so not like other phones. Thanks for the tip
Hey guys, is it to the right of the camera or to the left??

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anybody knows how to get the front camera working.
When I use fring for vid calls I get the back cam to work...but thats difficult to be seen. I was wondering if anybody has a work around for the front cam with fring?? or any other software.
Thanks in advance guys.
cheers
HD2 doesn't have a front camera...
ähm, there´s no front cam at the hd2
Someone is a little off on their spec list...
He probably saw the ambient light sensor hole and assumed it was a front facing camera. Looks very similar to the one on the evo.
What you're seeing is the proximity sensor.

Dont listen to these guys ^^^ they dont know what they are talking about.
To activate the HD2s front camera you simply have to Press Ctrl+Alt+del on the HD2s slide-out keyboard
Oh... errr wait a minute...

Please DONT report your findings

Hey guys,
i have a problem with dust in the frontcam of my galaxy s...
I don't know how it came in there, but it is defenitly there!
Anyone have same problems and maybe a solution for this?
I already contacted the samsung support, but they just told me i should send in the phone and this wouldn't be free -.-
Maybe someone has already opened up his galaxy and removed the dust manually...
Thanks in advance...
ps: i will post some pics if i find my cam again
Does it dramatically affect pics taken with the FF cam?
If it's under warranty, and wasn't due to abuse, they can't charge you for anything other than shipping in most countries.
Yeah, i already compared it to a friends brandnew galaxy s, we just placed them next to each other, and activated the frontcam...
There was definitely a difference, his colors were much better and mine looked a lot more pale!!!
I don't really use the frontcam very often, so it is not that dramatically, but a phone in this price-class should normally not have problems like this...
If anyone else has same problems, so please reply, i don't wanna be the only one with dust in my cam >.<

You can go into your camera and then select "self-shot" in the shooting settings.

The problem is still there -.-
Has anyone already opened up his galaxy s?
If i'd send it in for repair, this will take up to 4 weeks... definitely tooo long!
If it's easy to open i would try to clean it on my own
Am i really the only guy, who has dust in his frontcam, can't believe that >.<
dust solved by Samsung service.

Hi i solved the problem bringing my Galaxy S to the samsung service, i don't nknow what they have done, but i can't see any sign of opening.
I read in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802704 that the dust came through the 3,5 jack to the front cam, but i don't think so, because the component 3,5 jack is isolated... Any idea?
had mine for nearly 9 months and mine is dust free
Why dont you get a can of compressed air and try blasting it down the headphone and USB socket ? Or even around the bezel and speaker.
Infact, just spray the whole bloody phone with it lol
Compressed air is cheap.
I am having a very hard time removing the rear cover. I've removed the two screws but I still can't seem to get any of my plastic case opening tool in. What gives? I'm almost questioning the importance of those two screws...

I'm posting this as a guide to repairing your GPS at the hardware level after a teardown. So you decided to replace your broken screen, or put on some fancy back cover on your M8. Or even sent in your phone for repair just get it back with no GPS lock. You notice your phone sees satellites but can't get a fix/lock because the signal is to low. Simple fix. I've attached some images to help explain the process.
First you need to remove the back cover. Just the back cover. (This is a nice tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDsZLl_JzwA )
Second. Locate ITEM #1 at the top of the phone shown in the attached pictures. This is a copper metal tab that bends easily. My guess, this get bent during teardown.
Third. Locate ITEM #2 on the back cover shown in the attached pictures. This is a contact point for ITEM #1.
Fourth. Bend ITEM #1 so it contacts ITEM #2 when you reassemble the back cover. That's it.
Fifth. Download GPS Statues from the market and test your GPS.
Sixth. Hit the thanks button and enjoy a beer.
thank you
very nice idea and saved my day/week/month.... i tried everything regarding software, firmware and rom but nothing would help.
at the same time when i flashed to another rom i tried to fix my speaker and i had to remove the speaker cover.... i never thought of a hardware problem but my GPS is functioning well again now.

I couldn't find this copper tab (maybe the reason why mine isn't working), but I also couldn't see it in the video you linked to?

Yeah. Hard to see it in the video. That's just for teardown. Best is to check the pics. That tab should be at the top of the phone next to the power button. Unless yours is missing altogether. It is pretty flimsy.

Ouch! Not sure. I think it's soldiered to the board. You may want to use a generic piece of metal and just sandwich it place. It just has to touch the case.
thanks man i will try it!!

Any luck with your attempt to fix this with that tab gone? This also happened to me after I had swapped colors. Love the phone but I need GPS lock.

Does anyone have a better picture of the tab? I think mine is broken off, but I can't tell from the blurry pictures. I tried stuffing aluminum foil in the gap, but I'm not sure if I'm touching the correct points. The phone is now locking a few satellites, but only barely enough - and it is super slow. This is better than without the foil, but not a ton better.
Thanks so much for sharing the info!
This fixed my no GPS locks after a back/case change.
I did break the metal clip slightly, so be very gentle, but kitchen foil did the trick.
ut.
Hi all.
Bare with me, a worried friend of mine apparently seen some YouTube video that discussed privacy issues.
He went ahead and peeled out a piece of electronics from his Note 4 battery, that to me looks like it could be part of/or the NFC sensor in whole.
Does anyone here know whether that is the NFC sensor or part of it? Or else what is it?
Thanks

Of course its for NFC to work. If ur friend concern about privacy. Just turn the NFC off. If he/she still concern if apps do over ride that. Just. Remove the nfc permissions SYSTEMWIDE. so no app can see if ur device have nfc
Yeah OK! Thought so ))
Thanks for confirming ?
