hi all i have been using the xda2 mini s for the past 2 weeks as i got one on a contract 2 weeks ago from o2 . anyway took the phone home took the o2 active stuff out of it and filled the phone up with spread sheets and all my contacts and lots of other things . the phone was to slow to use for what i can see . maybe it was all the stuff i had in the phone i am not sure . also the keyboard was starting to get a bit loose after 2 week down the line . so i thought today i have had enough of this crap phone its going back . so of i went with the phone boxed and everything as new back to the o2 shop to state to them it was slow and i have hard reset the phone about 3 times and that it was just not up to cutting the cream if u asked me . so the guy said no bother at all i will just give u another phone . and i said no i dont want another mini i want the xda2i to replace it . so he did and now i have something i can use and depend on . i said to the guy that my old p900 was faster than the mini he laughed . i dont care what he thinks i no for sure that the p900 was faster than the mini . any way i am happy i have the xda2i instead of the little unusable mini
just my 0.02 pence worth
I know what you mean, I had a Motorola A1000 which has the same Symbian UIQ OS as the P900 and it was a nippy blighter although the built in GPS was shoddy.
But overall the hardware side of things the processing power isnt a scratch on the mini or the 2i.
Due to Symbians nature of running a very small kernal and also stored on a lot less space makes it seem so much better.
The only problem I found with Symbian OS's is they're not(or wern't) majorly supported like WM03/05.
If you could re-compile a Symbian UIQ OS for the 2i that would be a beast of a device.
u r right mate about the os would be good and stable . anyway thats about 3 hours i have been playing with the 2i and its fast real fast for what i can see . i hooked up to the net on it tonight and i could not find how to disconect from the net .... also whats the best place to get a card for it i was looking to get a 2 gig card what do u guys use in your xda2i
Disconnect from the net by holding down the red hard button on the bottom until it wines!
My old Xda IIi (i killed it a few days ago, cracked screen and completely dead when I woke up, don't know how it died overnight) never had a problem with memory cards... this one locks up sometimes if i have one in.
My advice is to either go for a number of SD cards (512Mb ish), the cheapest you can find, or go for a Kingstone 2Gb.
Hi Everyone
I Have a friend who has just recently bourght a sony ericsson w910i
the flick of the wrist to change a song phone...

This handset is less than a year old, why not just send it back for software upgrade?? As you are from the UK also, not many people do know this but all mobile phones now have a 24 month warranty (they dont tell you this to stop you from taking your phone back but this is EU law)
just found out this is a world wide problem is so bad that some operators who sold the phone are asking for there return!!

glad we can get around theses problems!!
Hi all. My TAB is dead already. it's dead just normally not because of flashing or rooting process etc. The battery drain to below 10% before i go to sleep and left it without charging it. I don't think its the cause it's dead.
Btw, when i wake up tomorrow morning, i found it dead then, i connect it with the charger but nothing happen. no lights, no display, nothing show up.
After trying all the combination of keys that i found on google to wake it up, it still not helping.
For info, my Tab is already being rooted and flashed with Overcome 2.0.1 ROM from the first day i bought it a months ago. Its act like a normal before its really dead.
So, I send it to the Samsung Center (Malaysia). After a week, i got a call from them and they said my Tab Motherboard is fault/burn because of 3rd party software that i install on it. I think they mean the rooting & unlocking the Tab. So that, my warranty is VOID! and i need to pay around RM700 (USD 230.49) to change the motherboard if i want.
what you think guys? Does rooting/flashing a Rom will effect the hardware or its just their excuse?
..// sorry for my bad english btw.
i think by this money you better buy new tab .. how come you unlock your tab ? i thought all the tabs in malaysia are Unlocked .
did you try to keep it in charge for at least 4 hours and\or , in USB plug it to your computer and keep it plugging and see , ( this method may and may not work ) ..
but serious 700rm they are taik

You had overcome on it. Overcome allows for overclocking. Overclocking (even if you didn't do it) equals a voided warranty. it's made clear in every post that flashing the device voids a warranty. If you choose to fight, you won't win. This is why there are posts to restock the tab for sending back...

ya i know it. they will win. even i dont OC & even its brick because of their hardware faulted. but from what i see, they are likely to transfer the cost of repair to me because i'm rooting it. oh my~

Yes Overclocking can destroy electronic components because of overheating. That is the main reason for me to remove overcome as my tab was abnormally warm compared to stock gb when I had gold flashed to it. I did not even touch any of the oc setting.....and may I add that I am in the Middle East where heat is an issue...

As my sig says it....no longer as I have no use for it.

kinda similar with mine....now my gtab still on samsung centre. this morning tried to check it out and it was told that i will receive new korean battery & new machined
the customer service told that before i upgrade to gingerbread (also in samsung centre) my gtab is being rooted??
the question (in my case), is it possible to detect that my gtab was rooted since they (samsung centre) already upgrade it?
well alisabki, its kinda hard in your position....have you tried to look after the mother board on ebay/amazon perhaps? to get the alternatives price?
last night i just read (forgot the sources) that cost to build gtab is only $241 (part+labor)
come to think of it, i guess frequent flashing and trying new kernels may cause wear and tear to the tab. refers to my response here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14765324#post14765324
The service centre person told me they replaced the motherboard and the battery. I am staying stock for now.
Well folks,
Just pick up my gtab and it os i got new korean battery and new machine dunno what they mean with machine here i guess same with u, motherboard with free warranty power.
They said,"my gyab was being rooted" but they already upgrading to gingerbread so they helped me with free warranty.
Imho, my case happened because i had install couple application that required root such as adfree,quikreboot,etc and perhaps the officially gingerbread doesn't comfortable enough which is i haven't rooted
Fel good to be back with this magnificent 7
genuine asia gingerbread
I'm having a hard time believing that it's actually toast. If you'd like me to take a look at it, just PM me as I'm very familiar with fixing bricked TAB's in any condition.
I hard believe that they can recognize that you rooted your phone or whatever since they said to you that your motherboard is gone.........so, unfortunately it is also happened to me today, it's not the first one that i flash my tab but today i've hard bricked it, sent back to Vodafone, told me to wait 1 month (#[][]###[##!!)
Dammit, never brick a phone, well used to HTC never bought a Samsung and in all honesty i was thinking to change my beloved HD2 for a Galaxy S 2 but i've found very risky to flash those Samsung phones so changed idea and waiting for new HTC devices with bootloader not locked.
Will let you know for news from Vodafone but if they will say me that brick was because i've rooted it then i want proves of that, if they can see that then they can resurrect the phone without change motherboard...am i right?
Well, i love Overcome Rom. Its getting better and better. Yap. Like Pitbull, im also the battery-wh*re.. i dont care so much about its performance. Im not doing heavy stuff/work on it. i got my nexus one btw to trying or playing overclocking etc... im just using my tab to surfing, file transfering/dropbox, movies, and even games sometime which i think it's 1ghz power is still doing its job.
What is my really problem is they (samsung center) say my warranty is void because of 3rd party software that i install on it. i think its just their excuse. the overcome rom that i use is already a month old. nothing wrong with the 3rd party software that i've install.
Declan79, its possible to detect if we root it or not. in my case, they just change the motherboard and they will turn it on just like normal. for example, my pc dead because of the motherboard. i change it to the same model and walla.. its fixed! its the same concept..
the cost to change the motherboard is cost me around USD263.27 which is more expensive + no warranty. so what? everything is expensive in my country.
you're so lucky Declan. even you void the warranty by rooting it, u still got it repaired for free..

So my screen just broke and i'm in doubt between buying an aftermarket screen for about $20 and repairing it, or just say f*** this unstable piece of crap and buy the optimus 4x speed. So what would you do? Any suggestions for other phones? Any review on aftermarket screens? How easy is it to replace?
Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance,
Sincerely,
you're buying 4x? LOL you're buying a phone that doesn't have developers support, lock bootloader and no custom rom i visit 4x section sometimes but their development section is empty, i suggest send your o2x on lg to repair or search on youtube "how to disassemble optimus 2x"
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
It depends on how addicted you are to flashing roms. If you don't mind stable roms, and probably a very very slow 4.1 update, get the 4x.
If you simply need updates and the newest OS, repair the 2x. Honestly though, I think it wouldn't go as far as the 4x in terms of eventual updates, but still, it's nice to be able to modify your phone.
Yes i didn't notice the lack of custom Roms on the 4x this afternoon, so what phone would you buy? I mean the price of the 4x is awesome for the hardware you get, and if i'm able to root it i'm happy. But i also like to flash custom roms alot so do any of you know a good alternative instead of the 4x for the same pricE? Locked bootloader is kinda sucky .
I would really like to repair my 2x but i'm so tired of it and afraid that if i do change the screen i'll wreck the entire thing, and i'm not sure i wanna take the risk or just buy a new phone
Nexus 4. Don't know if it's cheaper or costlier in your country, but it's generally much cheaper. Beats the 4x easily in all fields, the only thing it lacks is a memory card slot. Availability is an issue at the moment, but if you can get your screen repaired for cheap now, then you can sell it after some time and get a nexus
I had the same problem. Repair the touch screen is very complicated, not because it's difficult disassemble the phone, but because the real display is glued to the touch screen with a particular clue. When you try to remove the display you can break it. It happened to me.
Repair and sell !

A couple of weeks ago I dropped my P990 onto asphalt and broke the glass. I taped it up using scotch tape to avoid glass splinters in my ears, and I'm just about getting used to all the cracks by now. I won't be trying to repair it, so I've got a nexus 4 on preorder. Hopefully it'll arrive before the tape crumbles...
Tl;dr: buy a nexus 4
This is a great reason to go get galaxy s3
Nexus 4! Don't bother with the 4x
They don't sell Nexus 4 in my country, because of LG, so yeah that sucks
I could get a Galaxy Nexus for about the same price
+1 for nexus 4 (except if you are addicted in slow updates and lg ui so go for optimus G(same hardware but i think quite costier))

Yeah but is it Gorilal glass? They say it's OEM in most cases, but don't specify wich type of glass this is. Last time i bought a replacement screen was for my X10 wich also was supposedly OEM but when installed i found out it was some kind of cheap plastic wich would never work comfortably as a touch screen. And it looks too complicated i would have to buy a hobby knife 3 sets of tweezer and a hair dryer only to switch the screen on my phone

They don't sell Nexus 4 or Optimus G in my country :'(
I broke the screen on my HD2, ordered one online for 15-20e , found a guy that repairs them, got friendly making mobile phones conversation and he changed it for 20e, sold the hd2 for 200e(I now regret it though) I would sell the o2x if course, it's nice but not the hd2. I actually am selling it

Me too, my screen was broken. I repaired at a workshop with 30 euros. The changed screen was old, taken from another phone ...
I also broke my screen and I had it replaced at a workshop. After the repair, the light sensor was not working so I had to return it to the workshop and wait another 3 day before they finally fix it.
The repair process including the new(?) screen was around 80Euro (~105$).
Get a new phone, upgrade excuse.
I got it replaced in a little Phone repair shop, they did a good Job, it cost 140 euro, but we got it back from ensurance because it happend on a holiday

As some people already said, it's the perfect excuse for getting a Nexus 4. You'll have a lot more support than with the 4X considering it's an official Nexus phone.
I've had Galaxy Note since February of 2012......Had it replaced three times under warranty through AT&T for same problem. (At least AT&T overnighted the replacement unit got it today)
All the note I had loved to shut off automatically and randomly........
1) Whenever I pickup a call, the phone shuts off (all the time)
2) It reboots by it self inside my pocket
3) It reboots by it self sitting while sitting on my desk
I see a lot of Note user are facing this problem........is there any solution? I've tried couple stuff that was posted on numerous posts.
Also what should I do once my warranty expire? I have 90 days under this refurbish warranty....original phone was till February 2013.... not sure when will it expire.
I've called: AT&T Customer Relation, Customer Service, and Warranty Department as well as Samsung Tech Support. (The only thing I got $25 credit towards my bill)
A Gentleman from Warranty Department told me that he always see this problem.........he sent me a replacement unit immediately and even offered if I wanted to get replaced with Galaxy S3.....unfortunately Note 2 was too new to be replaced......but still I have asked to get Galaxy Note.
Spoke to Customer Relation...what a awful service this guy said "I have Galaxy Note but never have problem" and accusing me for dropping the phone and etc........that the reason I've got $25 credit to my balance. (I could have got more but was too tired to fight for it)
Samsung told me that if I face this issue call Samsung again and they will fix it.. But I will be without a phone for roughly 1 week to 2 week.
What should I do after my warranty expire?
Honestly, i do believe most of us do not having this problem if on ics or gb stock rom.
Do you check with samsung service centre what they did to repaired or solve your problem?
Did samsung change any hardware? Or either update your software only?
If samsung only update your software, it might be hardware problem. In other way, if samsung did change your hardware only, it might related to kernel/rom problem.
If samsung did both. Just go there again and request new handset.
Keep all the repair receipt as record. If samsung refuse to replace new handset when problem still exist. You might need all this record as proof for complaining to consumer body.

Samsung did not repair or replace anything on my Galaxy Note.
ATT replaced my phone with their refurbish one all three times.
I might send it to Samsung next time I have this problem.......
thank you
if its random reboots, its worth trying a different battery
lol there is something you are doing that is wrong. That or the shop you go to has given you the same phone unfixed back.
eliminate if its an app issue by unstakking the app you are installing.
update your phone throught Kies. etc etc etc
The problem with getting a replacement is that it will be a refurb. probably with a load of problems the same as yours that don't show in a quick test. If a load of pple hand phones back wigh this they probably just turn them round.
I may be just cynical...
from the man hiding in your attic....
maybe Note 1 is bad luck? How about a Note 2 subsidized for a little extra? A nexus 4? s3? HTC One X+? LG Optimus G?
i'm sorry about your phone rebooting. best of luck and happy holidays!
