My compass has stopped working and i need it for my job! I have tried calibration, figure of eight etc, removing the battery, removing the back cover but all to no avail. I have even done the jelly bean update but still not working.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Nope. I upgraded without a hard reset and my battery is still the same.

Hey guys
I have a mate whose SGS i9000T will no longer turn on, it is about 5 months old, battery is fine and just died while the screen was off, was not even being used. The last app used was browser. Can't get into Recovery or download modes and the backlight doesn't even register while the AC is plugged in.
Any suggestions would be great or is this a hardware fault? which too me it sounds like
Theirs two possible reasons for this bud....1, custom firmware incorrectly flashed. 2, hardware. I had the same problem and I had to send mine off to Samsung, if you blame the damage on Kies, say after the update it wouldn't turn on they will fix it for free.

Cheers for the reply,
The only things applied were a lag fix that was weeks ago though so i doubt that is the problem, sounds like hardware problem then

No custom kernel or anything? And it just died? Does he tend to drop his phone a lot?

In that case I'd put it down to hardware bud! Are you in the UK? as we have dozens of Samsung service centres, just blame it on Kies if I were you, say after the update it wouldn't turn back on, and they'll fix it for nothing bud

Hey guys i thought i would share a simple fix for the touchscreen problems that people are having. I used to have some problems with my touchscreen on stock, basically sometimes the right side of my touchscreen would be difficult and unresponsive. Im not sure what happened, it seems that after i flashed the Codenamesammy ROM it started to have these problems. I though my first tablet was just faulty so i returned and recieved a new one. I flashed the same rom on it then went back to stock and was having similar problems. I thought to myself that it was a software problem, so here is how i solved it.
Fix
Unlock and root your tablet if have not yet. Flash This using TWRP or CWM.
How it works - Im not entirely sure why this worked even though i was in stock and it had stock drivers. Anyways it replaces the current drivers with the one in the build it has posted.
Credits - I give complete credit to the one who extracted these drivers and posted them.
Thought i might help some of you out with your problems before deciding to RMA it. If this does not work for you then it might be the actual hardware.
Is it still working?
Has anyone tried this fix and can confirm if it has worked for them?

Looks like a grounding problem to me, don't think that can be fixed in software.
Thats deff a screen issue hardware related.
For me, this problem is solved : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArlV8jTdkRM

People shouldn't really have to repair their nexus tablets on their own and run the risk of voiding the warranty. You should all have it under warranty.
For me I would keep returning it until I receive one that no longer has any defects, even if it means returning 10 of em. This way Google would see a high amount of returns and hopefully do something about it.

I don't have the issue, but I'm on franco.Kernel + Team EOS Stable ROM + JRO03R Binaries. I thought I noticed the issue on stock though, but I could be wrong.
I have same this issue especially when the device is heated .. the touch unresponsive in the center..
But I return my N7 to the warranty before i see this topic..
Thank you

what issue were you having?
I was having dead spot issues. The screen not reading my touch, but now after update i could have sworn i saw a horizontal line flash across the screen. Never seen it before I've only noticed it once though.

Didn't fix mine... when i touch either side of my screen it thinks i'm touching both sides. Gonna have to RMA T_T
This unfortunately didn't resolve my issues, as can be seen here. Is there any other attempted fixes for this issue? If I reboot my device it seems to work dine for a while, but after several hours of being on, it experiences these problems.

If its still under warranty just return don't wait for a solution or perm fix cos you like others here will be waiting for a long time.

Just wondering if you people have tried updating the drivers to JRO03R. It solved the problem for me. Sorry if you have.

Yes, I have. Those videos I took where after I had flashed the new drivers.
Still getting touchscreen issues after flashing over cm10. In fact it may now be worse. Now I get ghost taps and swipes, apps have a mind of their own. Fortunately turning the screen off and back on seems to clear it up though.

Soo, my xperia z fell in a sink with water, the flaps were closed, etc. The phone wasnt damaged and everything is working, etc. But one of the strips has turned red :l
Warranty lost if the strip is red but phone not damaged? How to get it back white? Other suggestions? Anyone had this happen to their phone?

Now that's pretty odd. Hmm, maybe its nothing. Try this,if you are running on an old firmware install the latest from the update centre,if you already are using the latest firmware try resetting it,not just the settings but with the data being wiped as well.

I said it was a software problem caused, you said "The phone wasnt damaged and everything is working, etc." or did you forget? Now that I know you got water in the phone it really is water.

Yeah saw that. You are right now he knows that his hardware is damage and not his software.
Dude I think u will lose ur warranty if the strips change colour from white to red. U have to fight with service center asking them its waterproof. Or ask them to check it because water damage can be solved before it starts to rust.

Yesterday my phone's volume up stopped working so I googled to see if there was a fix. Some had suggested unticking fast start up and rebooting didn't work tried soft reset didn't work then later it just started working. So tried it again tonight and it's not working again, so does anyone else know if it's software or hardware or any suggestions of what to do thanks.

Think it might be hardware because if you shake it it normally starts working again dreading having to send off for repair been reading about some real horror story's .

How about you try the built in diagnostics: in dialer type *#*#3424#*#* then select "Button Test" and run it.

I guess if it fails the button press, then it's most likely a hardware fault, and not much you can do to fix it
It should still be under warranty so will take it back next week hopefully they can fix it but dreading handing it over incase it comes back in worse shape then when it went.

If anyone reads this from the UK what's the best way to send phone off for warranty repair through shop where i got it from phones4u or HTC UK or HTC international need some advice before it goes on it's journey for repair. Also time frames of how long it normally takes would be nice. Iam hoping they tell me to send it somewhere locally for repair but doubt it very much, had a Nokia years ago wich went to a local place for repair but don't think they do that now.
