Very broken captivate.. Internal damage?

Just bought a used cappy, dropped it an cracked screen. Launched it at my wall. The screen turned to goo, lol. Point of impact was almlst squarely on the bottom of phone. Nothing other than the screen seems damaged. Think there may be some internal damage or ... Or?

well there is always a possibility that it is now trash. U might try to connect thru adb and see if it connects. That's all I can think of.

I see thank you. Any chance adb has a way to run diagnostic tests? I suppose if I could work with adb Its safe to assume none of the /neural/ connections arent broken. My concern is mainly the sensors.

Well if you can access SGS tools, there is a diagnosis option for all the sensors and Keys. You may wanna check it out

This includes vibrator, proximity, touchscreen, GPS, bluetooth, Wifi.. Another testing mode is *#0*#

Ooooook, were in for a long one.
So, I got my screen in yesterday, installed, everythings works like a charm. Exceeept, any service. (edit: proximity in sgs does nothing.) Screen came with whole, intact front housing. Just switched mobo, back housing, battery and door over.
I have flashed and reflashed to no avail and im certain ill find grey hairs when I wake up. ODIN barely worked for me.. 3 click gave me kernal error and 1 click is eeeextremely tempermental on this captivate. I literally have been researching/trying to flash for 12+ hours.
Finally stable running andromeda 2.1 - thank you jesus
No service on stock nor andromeda 2.1
Info..info.. Hmm where to start..
When runnin sgs tools:
-I CANNOT see my IMEI (null/null)
-Most buttons take me to service mode (right hardkey. Back use menu)
-In pda/phone/cnc- phone and cnc are unknown. Pda is i9010xxjl1
I feel like I am missing something here.. Maybe its my body telling me bedtime was 9 hours ago.
Thanks for readin guys.

Edit: csc not cnc lol

Come on people, there are a million dumb, answered threads out there. No feedback at all? Surely some of you have answers or ideas.

Dumb questions are easier to answer... besides, not much hope for a physically damaged phone. : /

Im jus feelin, that it doesnt really require an intuitive leap or anything. Its either from bad flashing or a replacable part. I can figure this out, im juss asking about what im havin a hard time finding myself.-the csc and phone, if it has anything to do with not getting service, or not being able to read my imei from sgs.
Could someone load sgs-pda/phone/csc version- an verify csc an phone? Surely you can see your imei?
And
For the repairmen, got an idea if its the mobo or card reader board?
I wanna fix this, its fun.

[Q] N7000 owner in the US needs non-warranty fix for USB port -- where do I go?

The Samsung website is remarkably difficult to decipher when it comes to this. I am fine with mailing my phone somewhere and waiting for a repair, and fine with being billed for the repair -- the USB port broke because I dropped it one too many times with the cable connected -- but I can't figure out who is supposed to take my money and fix the thing! Help?

there are these parts on ebay and other sites. and lots of tutorials on how to change it.

Wow. This never even occurred to me; I never imagined it would be user-replaceable. I guess this must be a fairly common problem.
eBay seems to have them only arrive in a month, Amazon doesn't seem to have them at all. Is there anyone who can deliver this week that you know of? I really don't know where to look for this kind of thing.

I'm sorry I am in a different continent and here in know local phone repair shops who can get it soon for me. Try them in ur area

[Q] Water indicators

Hello, i have had a browse through these forums for this answer, but i couldnt find anything. Sorry if i missed the forum
Where are the water indicators on the galaxy note? Ive took the battery out and couldnt find one at all. Are they on the inside of the phone?

On mine there's one beneath the battery and three more inside the device on different parts of the motherboard.
Cheers

I've always wondered the same thing. I don't have any on mine either. I just figured it must be a carrier specific thing to have the water indicators.

On the n7000 they are put in by Samsung not Carrier (or Cartier for that matter)

[Q] NFC

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy S3 Mini in http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unloc...e=UTF8&qid=1359994419&sr=8-2&keywords=s3+mini and the specs said that have NFC,
I was wondering, how do i enable this NFC and transfer some files?
Thanks

you may have been misled like a lot of other users who thought they have NFC. Have a look in the ABOUT phone in settings, if it says I8190N then you have it. First phones out don`t seem to have NFC built in. It`s false advertising really. If haven`t got it return it and get NFC version if you really need it. GT-I8190N has just been released end of January. Have look here: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsu...anuary_id38935

thanks for your reply, i've read that the antenna may comes with the battery (NFC battery) but i'm not sure if it really works

Yes I read that also. Do u have any options about NFC in settings in your phone. If your phone mentioned says GT-i8190N then your OK. Please let me know thanks.

I have N version with nfc... i heared that battery contains antenna for nfc and that every device has nfc chip inside... so if you cant use it i guess you only need battery with antenna..
Sent from my GT-I8190N using xda app-developers app

No, I don't have any NFC options (looking in all configurations menu)

No one tried using a i8190N battery on a i8190?

Please help.....

I had a problem with the charging port on my galaxy note so opened it up and fitted a new one, I've had a charging port issue before and changed it with no problems only this time, it charges just fine but for some reason my phone has trouble connecting to my network, I know it must be a antenna problem but not sure what ive done and what I might need to replace (if anything). It sometimes get a signal but doesn't keep it. Please if anyone can give me some advice on what might help to fix this issue. I'm due a new phone in February but need this one to see through till then. If anyone an help me fix it, when I upgrade to a new phone I will send you my much loved n7000.
Thx in advance.

Damn your right, I put the old one back in and BooOOM... It Connects straight away. I've just ordered a genuine module and see if that works.
Thanks all for info.
