So on my G1's battery theres a little sticker thats pink and white might be red and white lol cant see well haha but is it suppose to be red/pink and white its like a checker board
is that good and my battery life is horrible does the color mean its time for a new?
Bump its kinda urgent plans tmrw dont want my phone dying
You are severely mistaken if you think that you can read the condition of the inside of the battery by looking at a sticker on the outside.
Now the SHAPE of a battery... much more revealing. If it is bulged, its probably close to its end. Mine's bulged, but it sortof still works.
The question you need to ask yourself is this: DOES IT WORK? Nobody knows the answer except for you.

AFAIK that sticker is just so they can tell you not to waste your time sending it in for coverage (as in they can ask what color it is, and if you say red, they can tell you forget it - void). However, the service technicians will probably still open up your phone and can judge for themselves if there is evidence of water damage to the electronics. So, you can replace the sticker, try to be sneaky about it, and who knows..... might work?
I believe the one inside the battery cover and the one on the battery itself are the only color changing water damage indicating stickers.
Battery and battery bay are the only 2 that Tmobile will see, but there are at least 2 more inside on the mainboard/connectors and possibly in the lcd area as well. They are a bit different than the iPhone style ones as well, I dont think bleach will help. Not that I would endorse that anyway...but still.
Great info. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi Guys,
Not sure if i will be getting love letters or flames on this (maybe the later) but i can see a vertical green pixel line on my Galsexy S (my friend coined it, , yup, gurl-sexy a*s if you will).
Sorta like showthread.php?t=541945
but that is definitely a faulty screen. But on Galsexy it is more subtle than that, and it is the farthest left pixel (vertical orientation with Samsung logo at the top).
You can see this clearly on bright, preferably white, background.
Initially, i thought it was just my phone, but my buddy's phone has it too; exactly the same situation. In case you are wondering, nope, we bought it separately.
Could be production fault, could be just a batch, but how's your Galsexy?
Hello Bachok
I've had a look at mine and i had to put screen brightness up to maximum and like you said, it shows on a white background (i used google homepage)
There is a very very faint green line(running down the left) that i had to really look for just to find, so yes it does exist but i wouldn't say its a fault. It looks to me like its just the very edge of the screen. The line on mine is around 1/4 of a mm (about the width of a hair, maybe less) is yours worse? or are you just picking faults
btw Galsexy - I like it!
It's the built in LightSaber app!
same as this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8304185
Like I said in that thread, ask for a REPLACEMENT!

Believe me, i couldnt care less; not picking fault at all, just for the fun of it. Yes, you have to really-really-really scrutinize to notice it. I think the pixel may have been mis-cut from the production line, maybe red and blue element is missing? who knows...
Does this put me off? HELL NO

Nope; i dont think it is that severe and since there are at least three separate cases of this green thingy, i think it may have been by design
I would have been devastated if i got the same problem. This vague green "lightsaber" may have been there from the beginning, but you cant see it on dark (especially black) background.
Hi
I accidentally left my i9000 home and went on holidays. It was 1 week "home alone". When I got back i charged it and started using it again.
Then after a day the battery ran out again. I needed to check a contact real quick so I managed to switch it on and boot it right until i got the contact, then battery was drained.
When I got home to charge it.. DEAD phone, not even the Jig could save it.
I sent it to warranty and they refused to cover the malfunction because they detected humidity (they sent the screenshot below)
please check h__p://img263.imageshack.us/img263/1284/i9000.jpg
When i got it again i opened it and saw that i can only get the white stuff out by scraping it and that the black spot is actually (or seems like) a chunk of burnt chip
This is what i saw h__p://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4475/i90002.jpg
I never dropped it in water, or did something wrong to it. The only humidity it may have gotten was by having it in the bathroom while i showered.. But so do my other phones!
Do you guys think it's really humidity or do I have a fighting chance?
Thanks for your input, and sorry for the pics, i can't post outside links yet, please replace h__p with http
Bump!
I appreciate any help guys >,< i want to send if back to warranty with a claim, if it really isn't humidity
Thanks
Get them to prove it is humidity, much cheaper for them to replace, consumer rights, use whats out there, threaten them, harass them dont let them win, its that simple!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
bump
can not help u
That white stuff does NOT look like humidity. It looks more like :
A: thermal paste and overheated chip
B: superglue spill (but being inside the case, this theory must be dropped).
I would say you should insist to fix it on warranty.
Thanks guys, i'll try to harass them. It really doesn't seem humidity. What it seems is that they're taking advantage of me!
The phone here costs 329€ and they're asking 220€ no fix it
You should ask them to prove it to you that the white stuff is humidity. From what I know, they have to prove you're guilty, not the other way around (where you should prove you're innocent).
Btw, does the i9000 have a humidity detector sticker or some other tech?
I went on holidays and when i came back i opened the phone again and all that white stuff.. just vanished!
If it was humidity, as in limestone residues, it wouldn't vanish!
What the hell was that!?
Anyways, regarding the humidity detector, i saw in one forum one guy with a small WHITE square inside the battery cover.
In the service manual the same square is BLACK and mine is also BLACK
Is this one? And what does white and black mean?
Thanks again

I have no idea what the square is for (mines also black)
But i think you have a fighting chance of winning this, Like said before, they must prove your guilty in order to refuse you warranty.
If you contact them demanding it to be fixed as your are 100% sure the phone has never seen water. Then someone's gotta' give and its gotta be them..
just bullsh!t them saying your seeking legal advice regarding this, and say "do i look stupid enough to leave a $400 phone near water ?? "
if they say yes, you must seek revenge
I listed these in the For Sale section but figured you guys would have interest.
Click here to check em out.
There's a white and black both barely used great condition.
I am interested and what are the requirements to receive it ?
I just sold the white one for 15. If you interested in the black let me know. I'm sure we can set something up.
is there a chance to get my IncS complete in white? the back cover in white looks great but i guess it doesnt look nice with a black front.
The link doesn't work for me. Link a picture please.
Hi. Do you still have the black one?
is the white 1 still available?

Quite fancy the red one - but how do you change the front cover? My workmanship skills extend only to changing the occasional lightbulb...
Look and learn

Paint front face?
By the way, I have detached the front facing case(only the frame around the screen). Beacuse it was streched a little.
Now the question is, can I paint this part. And if possible how
White charger and cable for a black phone?!?!?! That was a huge disappointment I'm seriously thinking about what to do about it.
Seek help for OCD?
Buy a black marker and colour the charger in, buy a black cable
Why does it matter, you don't walk around showing off your cable and power brick
This is terrible, but thanks for the advice.

thats normal for samsung, i had White S3 with black charger
What's wrong with that? Black and white are partners... I even bought a white back cover on my black s5 just so it would look better at least for me
It's appleish.
Luckily this is the only but

I don't understand how you can take this so lightly. It has to be the start of the downfall of Samsung. Wouldn't be surprised if Apple is about to buy Samsung. The headphones are white too, which makes it certain that something is going on.
lol wut?
A different coloured charger = the downfall of a massive company?
IT'S JUST A COLOUR
And more to the point, a colour of something only you see
