my phone has been giving me problems for the last few months now non stop. first that red light crap on the power button...now this....
My phones screen gets all distorted in Landscape mode. if i flip open my keyboard, it gets all scrappy, then i have to pop out the battery and restart in portrait...it runs fne until i flip the keyboayd out. freezes up and all that crap starts...why is this happening? how do i fix this? ive had the phone for 7-8 months not sure...but WTF man its still not even 1 year old....talk to me somoene is this just a piece of junk i bought? is there a fix? anyone else have this problem? ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!
what ROM are you using?
you should make a backup and then try a hardreset
If hard reset or new ROM flash will not fix your problem, then it is the flex cable that is at fault. I recommend replacement and had it done for my customers. Cheaper, albeit a temporary solution is to attach a thin sticky tape cut to shape to the flex. If you have no idea what I am talking about, then it is the job better left to professionals.
as enigma1nz stated, its the flex cable... i too had this problem, but i didnt buy a new one...
what happen is the sliding wears off the black coating on the wires and expose them to the interior parts, its like rubbing the two jumper cables together, it will spark...
what i did was cover the silver part with sticky tape, that solved the trick

I have owned my X1 for a year now, and yes it is now a piece of junk compared to other phones currently out.
Get a Dell Streak and be satisfied already!
It is not a problem affecting Xperia only, but rather something we call 'All slides disease', it affects all slide form factor phones due to vulnerability of the flex cable. It happens due to sheer act of someone using the phone as intended - sliding it up and down, answering calls in some phones, accessing the keypad etc. It does not mean Xperia is crap, just the downside of a particular form factor. Next one on the list of form factors requiring repairs are flips (clamshells). With a bar form factor very little can go wrong, apart from actual physical or water damage. With the advent of large-screened touch phones, as you can imagine, it's the screens that sustain the damage. Iphones are vulnerable in particular.
Due to heat and wear, the glue that keeps the letters attached to the keyboard of my Milestone is coming loose, in other words I am losing letters.
I want to send it back under warranty, but the Motorola site asks me if it is normal wear or physical damage. I'd say it's physical damage due to normal wear...
Has anybody else had this problem? What's your experience with the waranty?
Heat?????????? Glue???
I have never seen the internals of the milestone but I'm sure the glue (there's glue holding the keys on?????) I'm sure the milestone can't get that hot. Did you overclock?
(Btw u migbt as well say to moto it was due to wear because the processor gets pretty hot normally
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
No, I did not overclock and yes the milestone gets pretty hot from time to time. I do a lot of tethering and that appears to cause a lot of heat.
And yes it's glue that is holding the keys.
hey post a picture!
A former flatmate of mine also has this problem - though he never did anything besides normal use (he didn't even update to 2.2)
But he has a different 'type' of keyboard than me...
His is kinda 'bubbly' and mine is rather flat and more matte than his...
i had a milestone with the bubbly keyboard too, and i got this problem after about 6 months of use.
I looked into replacing the keyboard myself, which can be done for abut 10 bucks, but in the end i just swapped my phone for my dads old one which had the flat keyboard style, which definitely seems more durable
I had the bubbly keyboard.. after a year of use the top buttons started to bubble more and come off. I bought a flat version online.. just the sticker that goes on top of the real keyboard. It was exciting, love taking my phone apart.

which one is easier to type on? I got the bubble version and I swear all the time and then I read that the flat version is even worse.
What's your opinion?

I personally think the bubble one is better for typing (I have both, one on my droid, one on my milestone).
Then again, the flat one isn't too bad, I can use both pretty equally.
when i first used the flat one i was more inaccurate, but once i got used to it i found i could type faster on it, and that the keys were actually easier to press
Hello, I'm new to this site and I wasn't sure where to post this but I believe this counts as a possible accessory so I decided to try it out here. I was looking for another solution to the heating problem in regards to the phone as it still does warm up a bit even after the updates to v20a and came across this:
It's a so-called graphite/graphene "ice pad" that sticks to the area inside the back cover, the only caveat is that if used on the LG Optimus 4X HD, it would cover the nfc antenna which is on the original back cover. Personally, I haven't bought and tried it yet, but am wondering if someone already has. I tried searching for it here on the forums but found nothing in regards to it. So I'm just putting this out here in case someone wants to try it, and possibly review it. I'm going to be ordering one for myself to test it out, but if someone already has tried it, please add a review on this thread.
Unfortunately, I can't post the links due to being restricted as a new user, but they are found on dhgate(dot)com and aliexpress(dot)com under the label "Cell Phone Heat Sink Magical Ice Pad Graphite/Graphene"
EDIT: Accessory has been purchased in this post.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41198265&postcount=14

That's why I am going to get the cheaper one for testing purposes so it won't be a waste of cash. I've also sent an email to Panasonic for a sample of their (PGS) graphite sheet as that's what the ICE PAD reminds me of and that paper-like sheet can disperse heat up to 400 degrees F during testing. Dunno how long they'll (Panasonic USA) reply to me or how long that ICE PAD will get here since I've ordered it with free shipping. In theory and testing, the graphite (PGS) from Panasonic is an ultra-thin, lightweight, graphite film with a thermal conductivity high enough to release and diffuse the heat generated by heat sources such as CPU’s, processors, power amplifiers and cameras. Developed by Panasonic engineers, this synthetically made material was named Pyrolytic Graphite Sheet or PGS. With a thermal conductivity up to four times greater than copper, PGS is extremely pliable and can be applied to heat-source shapes even in high density mounting situations. And according to the slightly broken English on those Asian sites I've mentioned, they've described their product to do exactly what Panasonic's PGS can do and applied it to cooling smartphones.
man how much i hate this heating problem
For anyone wondering about what I'm talking about when I mention the PGS by Panasonic, you can search on youtube or add this /watch?v=ZAEhyY1_czM for a look at how the PGS sheet disperses heat during testing.
did you find any online store to buy it? because i only find the products on chinese web site and i don't trust them

Has anyone tried this magical stuff?
This stuff sounds amazing.
Wouldn't it make sense to have it directly on the CPU instead of sticking it to the back plastic?
Then maybe that way it shouldn't affect the NFC?
I would love to try this!

I was watching LG Optimus 4x HD dissasembling on youtube. I noticed that the CPU is on the other side of PCB turned to screen. I don't konw were you can attach this sink. If you attach it to the top of CPU the most of heat will go to screen and this will cause bubbles under screen. On the other side of CPU is SIM PCB. Maybe you can attach it between main pcb and sim pcb.
I think you must watch the video:

OK, I just got the graphite/graphene "ice pad" yesterday and have started testing it by adding it as it supposed to be via enclosed instruction (the butchered English grammar notwithstanding). So far, close to within 24 hrs of current testing, I've seen some "slight" improvement. The phone - so far - within the span of an hour or more of solid gaming with all the cores on (software updates included) - doesn't get aggravatingly hot enough to the point where it feels as if it will blister your skin unlike before where I almost believe it will blow up. Yeah, I know it may sound like an exaggeration, but it DID get that hot prior to everything that I feared it will melt the sd card/sim card along with the plastic back cover when I first got the phone. And yes, I have already updated my phone to v20a with the obligatory root and tweaks... however, on stock ROM from LG ONLY. Currently, it does get warm but not overly "toasty" as it did out of the box. The battery still drains like a rock during super heavy use, but that is expected of quad core devices, especially on stock battery with EVERYTHING on (wifi/data/etc). I wish I had a thermal camera to really see the difference but it does "seem" to be able to dissipate heat faster. Alas, I am a noob when it comes to custom ROMs and have only rooted my unit with as-is stock v20a updated from LG so I cannot tell if there is a definite difference with people using the thing with custom ROMs. Will keep testing for the next few weeks.
And yeah, I did cut out a small portion of it to let the back cover still have access to the antenna.

Does NFC work as before?

It does. if you can check on the pic I included, I made sure the contacts on the back cover had clear access to the contacts on the phone by cutting out a small piece of the pad .
The only update I have at the moment after almost a month of testing is that the heat rarely rises to "ouch" levels now. A long phone conversation only becomes warm now to my ear, and I did this by calling one of the worst customer service call centers I knew of with a VERY long hold time. Yes, the one where they BOUNCE you through a TON of lines before you get to the right department.
Sadly, however, I still can't test this via thermal imaging camera as I don't know anyone personally who owns one to really validate the rest of my tests. All I know so far is that it does help with the heat to a small degree with all the added extra precautions included in taking care of your phone. I've roughly played a two-hour game on it without the feeling of it cooking my hand. I've switched between wifi/data, etc and had the screen on from 60% brightness and up - the thing still automatically stops the brightness control when the unit gets too warm - including leaving it lit for the same amount of time straight as when I was playing a game. In fact, I did both at the same time and separate to see the difference. Only once did it go up to 100 degrees fahrenheit and slightly above that on max brightness using a flashlight app while looking at the internal indicator on as reference before I lost my nerve and let it cool off. It cooled off faster though when it was with the pad than without.
In the end, I would like to say that does kinda work, but don't take my word for it. Everyone in here has different setups for their own units so I hope this thread will get some more people interested in testing it out. For less than ten dollars US (I got mine for five with free shipping), I can say that it's an acceptable risk to test the pad out.

LOL the site still won't let me post links until I get more seniority. You can search for it under "Graphite/graphene heat sink for cell phone". I came out with sites like dhgate(dot)com and aliexpress(dot)com... I got mine from gadget-buy(dot)com for about less than 5 dollars US, it used to come with free shipping but I guess a lot of people want it because when I went back to the site, I saw a shipping price already added to it. You can probably keep on searching until you can find a cheaper one.
Ok thx. I've had bad experiences with these sites and found them on there indeed. I was kind of hoping you found it at ebay somewhere, but I couldn't find it over there.
Another question. Does the back cover still close easily?

It closes perfectly, no problems whatsoever. Just make sure you make a space/hole if the place you're going to put it on has an antenna connection. This should work on most phones. Actually, I think they sell also on ebay, but it's rare I guess. I did a recent search on ebay, and nothing came up either. It took me a while to look up those pads so I believe you have to be patient while you trawl through the net for a reliable site. I certainly took my own time to decide on whether I should get it or not, but when I got to a site that sold it for less than $5, then took the plunge on getting it. Only time will tell if it is an investment well spent or not, and the price is negligible enough to not put me in the hole.
Has anybody had issues with their Gear smartwatch not clipping tightly when putting it on?
It's come to the point where mine keeps unclipping itself easily, and no matter what I've tried (from pulling forward the clip so it fits on tighter to adjusting the band), it still comes off very easily.
Maybe somebody has a fix for this issue? Or should I try a watch repair place?
I have the same thing right out of the box. Its driving me f***ing insane. if i shake my wrist it comes undone, if i clench my fish half the time it comes undone. theres clearly something wrong but i cant tell what it is, nothing looks wrong. the only thing iv noticed is the middle metal piece between the bands that gets sandwiched between the bands, its not a perfect curve. viewed side on, at the hinge away from the speaker side the metal piece bends down or flat slightly for a bit then bends upwards in a curve shape. I have no idea if this is normal or not.
I actually have another brand new one in the box sitting right next to me, but i cant compare it because i need to sell that one so it needs to stay sealed :S
Edit: AAAARRRGHH!!!!! i tried making it slightly more uniform and now it doesn't close at all!!! the watch is now totally f***ing useless and I can return to or anythign cause i bought it from someone on gumtree. can I take it to samsung or something?
Take it to a watch repair shop, they know how to handle it. See if the clip that catches when you lock it broke off or bent inwards.
Ian B
Yeah it's to do with the shape of the centre metal piece, in trying to make it uniform i think i must have shallowed out the curve slightly, and it stopped working entirely. Iv pushed into the curve a bit to make it more curved and its back to how it was initially. I'l play with it a bit more to see if i can get it to behave like it should. either way - TERRIBLE design by samsung.
I'v had a couple of other smartwatches and plenty of other normal watches and never had problem like this. Its because the externals are extremely cheaply made like all samsung products. If your not going to make a classy metal band properly then just stick to a traditional sports watch clasp. It's just like the "fake leather" thats really 100% normal plastic on the white note 3. You arent fooling anyone samsung, your crap is still cheap and tacky.
/rant
Same thing happened to me here. Pretty frustrating. I personally am awaiting the Omate smartwatch. I may end up selling this one.
Oh and btw, there is a cool site dedicated to smartwatches here. Looks like it's brand new. http://www.theconnectedwrist.com/

Just because I find parts of it to be subpar doesn't mean I dont like it as a whole? It sounds like you wouldn't buy a ferrari if it didn't have a cup holder. Its not unreasonable to expect a $300+ watch to have a reliable band is it? I guess I assumed for $300 I would get a watch with a functional band.

hello everybody,
I just purchased a GG yesterday, after reading a lot of your posts and thank you all for it. What convinced me was the new update that brings full notifications and better battery life. So far, I like it a lot, but of course 1 day is not enough.
There are 2 things I would like to ask other owners, who might have had it for longer time.
I read the post about the IP55 rating, but I would like to know if somebody really dropped it in water (most likely unintentionally), drop some water/liquid on it, got heavy rain, ecc. In other words, something more than washing hands or sweat.
Second point regards scratches. There are a lot of posts about this all over Internet, but very controversial. I would like to know if any of you had any scracth on the glass, the case or the buckle. If any of you experinced any serious bump, drops and so forth. I read somewhere that the GG has sapphire glass, but I seriously doubt it, as usually these glasses are very expensive and are used mostly on more expensive watches.
Thining logically, Samsung should have considered these issues, as after all, it is a watch and you want to wear it, so some kind of protection shluld be there. But I learnt that logic does not always work.
Any advice/experience you would like to share will be much appreciated!!!
Thank you very much,
Roger
I am using GEAR since end of OCT.
- water resistance - rain, drops of water is OK for the watch - if You search the forum you will even find the movie with the gear under kitchen tap water flowing on it. It is NOT ok for shower, swimming, diving etc. Generally - keep it away from water when possible. GEAR build quality is OK
If You wonder how SONY watch behaves - check their forum - a lot of complains and quality issues in general like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574988
- scratch resistance - Gear glass is NOT scratch resistant! it scratches very easy so keep it away from any hard objects, sand, metal, etc. Generally speaking- with the product life of maximum 1 year ( yes, we may expect GEAR II not later than September 2014) scratch resistance is not so important, and Samsung for sure will not use sapphire for the glass - it is too expensive.
I've had mine since day one and no problem with it whatsoever. I don't take it off when I wash my hands just careful not getting it wet.
Battery life is pretty strong as you go about two days. Don't have any scratches on it so far but I'm pretty careful when I'm around walls/tables/desks.

Same here ^^^
I have washed my hands with mine on and have gotten water on it (even into the speaker area) no problems so far. Regarding scratched, I put on a skinomi shield (invisible shield type). Looks awesome! Super clear and can barely see it's on. I got the full body which has a cover for under the watch (not too sure why you would need it but I put on since it came with it). I should let you know that with the full body cover, the charger takes some work to get it to close but it's definitely close-able. Have fun with you new gear. I know I am.
Picked up a galaxy gear with carbon fiber skin protector from skinomi and it came with a screen protector too. Bought extra screen protectors off Amazon just in case. Everything running great and not worries about scratches anymore. Still very cautious around water though.

Had mine for awhile as well. I don't worry about washing my hands or rain. Just wouldn't submerge it to be on the safer side. Scratches... The speaker clasp is pretty scratched up but I'm not too concerned about it. As for the face, I have hit/bumped/scraped on things such as desk, doors, walls, etc. So far it has held up well with no noticeable scratches. However I always worry every time I do bump it.

I know this is a slightly callous thing to say, but suddenly watches have fallen into the bi-yearly replaceable category.
No longer are they finely hand crafted devices that merely tell you just the time (and sometimes the date), they are an extension of your phone. Generally my analogue time pieces would last me anywhere between 5-15 years. This is technology though and we all know it can become out of date very quickly. It's sad and I dislike this fact, but I know that in a year or two I will want to upgrade to keep up with the Jones'. Not just that, I guarantee the Note 6 won't support the original Gear.
We're stuck in the cycle now!
My gear has me essentially committed to samsung now. I usually switch out phones alot but no more. No nexus 5 for me I guess. I wish I didn't have to use some weird workaround to get it to work with another phone

Were you able to get the Skinomi clasp cover to stay on? Mine was very difficult to get on to begin with and I could never get the corners to adhere properly. Within a couple days, the corners were full of dirt. Skinomi sent me a new one, but same problem. Is there a trick to get the corners to stay down, or is the clasp cover just useless?
I am sure you ll enjoy your gg . I just bought one purely to be used when I am out on my motorbike as it will be alot easier to see who calls etc without reaching to my phone with gloves and stuff.

Learn some basic electronics work and you'll be able to keep stuff running for much longer. That won't help with stuff that just get outdated to the point where they're no longer useful, but I don't see all that much application for more processing power in a watch. In a few years, just open it up and swap the battery with one purchased for a few dollars on a site like HobbyKing.

By the same logic, once the battery goes dead in your car, it's time to buy a new car because replacing the battery is "immoral and illegal". There's nothing wrong with trying to fix something you own.

Maybe there is a language barrier issue, but Klau1, if it is your watch then of course you can replace the battery in it with a new one. This is not immoral or illegal in any way.
