My USB port stopped charging, before it would work by wiggling the port a bit but now its completely dead...Tried cleaning it, dry tooth brush and rubbing alcohol... nothing worked.
Little fustrated; I drove an hour to the only Samsung Service Center in Ontario Canada and waited there to tell them my issue...
The staff there are overworked and highly stressed, throwing the "s" bomb and "f" bomb while running around.
When it finally got to my turn I told them it stopped charging they took it in and waited.... they came out and told me because I rooted the device they will now VOID MY WARRANTY!
This was clearly a hardware issue and not a software one... yes I rooted, but seriously with that kind of service I'll be making my next purchase with something else...
Now I ordered a part from ebay and have to perform this:

I fixed it myself at the end... Trick is to use a hair dryer and take your time... The part from eBay is less than $20.

Well, that would cost you $4-$500, while this replacement would cost you $20 with a certain risk of having to replace the phone anyway.
So might as well try repairing it (or getting it done by a local shop, since if they **** up they'll pay for it).

These sell for like $0.01 on ebay (seriously)
Haven't tried them personally but I've been told that they supposedly work pretty well. I personally wouldn't stick my phone above my stove though.
Here's the idea

I've only tried the ones for car dashboards on ebay
they are really bad....
Never tried these, but I use something called PuGoo http://www.udsproducts.com I love it & it works well!
If we are thinking of sticking the Note II to the wall, wouldnt VESA mounts be a better solution
:silly:

Please share your findings, because the cheapest one i could find was:

Here it's less expensive than yours but much more than 0.01$ http://cgi.ebay.fr/Car-Anti-Slip-Pad-Mat-Camera-GPS-MP3-Phone-For-HTC-Nokia-Samsung-LG-iPhone-4-4S-/110931201286?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d403cd06

I bought one from this seller (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Car-Gri...047?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c1c8637f) for $0.09 but they only ship to the US
The buy it now listings on ebay go for more than a dollar but the auction ones sell for very low ie. $0.09
I've been using this for more then a year in my car. Every month or so, i'll take it out and wash it with soup as it does attract dust and dirt. Works like it should. Got it for around US$1 only.

Sorry, not gonna let me phone touch anything called PuGoo...
I own this one, Grippy, and its pretty awesome. I can actually stick my phone to the wall and leave it. I actually have it on the lid of my laptop holding stuff there. Nothing ever moves from it unless I want it to.
okay, got mine from ebay in the mail today... for $0.09... not bad
my phone stuck to a door
Hi guys, I have a problem, my Ace's screen isn't showing anything..
What happened:
Well, I was fine using Lewa..then after a sudden, weird colors came up, so I pulled the Battery and started the phone again..only the soft buttons made light up.
I know this is hardware because:
1. ADB picks up the device ( No errors in LOG)
2. These pictures:
Screenshot: ( Took with ADB )

I can't take this back to repair, so have any of you encountered this problem and fixed it at home?
===============================================================================================================
Update:
I opened her up, guess what..water, lots and lots of it. And most of the water is around and on the Display adapter.
So I am going to try and clean it with Alcohol and if that fails I'll buy a new screen (Cheap about 20$)
Luckily I have 2 Ace's
Is the recovery working (displaying)?
Edit: i also have an problem like this so i had flashed the rom via odin.
Now its working fine..
No, it's hardware...i'll update the OP to show you why. And no it doesn't nothing does.

Ohh i see..
But how comes the water there?
In the actual meaning that the phone is totally packed only charger socket and headphone socket is opened..
It's not water it's moist..from the air. And no everything.

Don't try washing with alcohol unless you are sure...! You might get into a bigger trouble ! Just connect your phone to the charger & let it heat up. The moisture flies off by itself.
I used to have beautiful life before. Now I'm in engineering...!

No, no. It left a residue, and yes alcohol will work. I have been using it for about 2 months now with the residue on.

My friend (elderly) gave me her Xperia Z so I could get her sim setup. Because I have been getting over 2 nights up straight, watching my dog (he has neurological issues and I am nursing him currently) I was really tired and accidentally put a micro sim adapter in the sim slot the wrong way up. Its now well and truly stuck in there. It started out being stuck half way (the hole wasnt coliding with the pins though so hopefully they arent damaged? then i pushed it in completely in the hope of maybe hitting an ejecting mechanism, no such luck. Im taking it to a local repair shop. Im really worried (she knows and isnt worried lol) that one of the pins might have been snapped off? I have tried shaking it about and I cant hear any rattling at all (maybe theres not enough room for it to do so even if it was the case) so maybe thats a good start. I did apply a bit of gentle force to pull it out but I didnt feel anything break or hear any snaps.
If I did break a pin, how much do you think it will cost for an independent phone shop to repair it for me? I dont mind paying the fee because its through my negligence.
probably would be cheaper to buy one used or online

that was in response for if he damaged the sim slot and going to a shop.
he could probably get it out with an x acto knife, they're pretty thin

Managed to get the guy round at the shop to get the back off for me and I have done the rest. I have now cut off the end of the adapter and I can happily report that NONE of the pins are broken! Great news. Now i just need to figure out how to get it out because the rest is still stuck. If I cut the one side more than the other I might be able to rotate it out.

I'm about to receive my 4th HTC one:
#1 - lasted less than a week before I returned it. Wiggling a headphone plug in the headphone jack caused all kinds of weirdness. AT&T replaced it.
#2 - lasted about 6-7 months. Unplugged it one morning and it went totally dead. No charge light would come on when plugged in. AT&T replaced it.
#3 - lasted less than one month. Pulled it out of my pocket while (ironically) in an AT&T store and it was a brick like #2. 5 minutes before it was working. It was charged that morning using the original HTC adapter & cable. AT&T is mailing a replacement (#4).
All had bootloader unlocked. #2 was also SIM unlocked and S-OFF. All were running (different) custom ROMs. All were in cases and had no physical or water damage (not even scratches).
Any idea what could cause this hard brick where the charge indicator doesn't even come on? Any ideas to rescue it?
Thanks!

What you need is a sacrifice. You should bathe yout phone in virgins blood than let it dry for three days and three nights. Finally you must say 20 times loudly "this phone is not gonna break without reason", while doing a ritual dance. Hope it helps
Yeah. How helpfull... Please tell me how an S-on device can be bricked when everything is stable. This didn't happen after a ROM flash or any similar activity. Phone goes from just fine to dead without any specific action.

Stop messing with your phone. You clearly have no idea what you're doing.

Really strange problem. Some ideas:
- Was it always the same adapter/cable or was that one replaced, too? If it was the same, maybe it is somehow broken and eventually kills your phones.
- If you use custom ROMs, did you maybe changed some low level settings (voltage? CPU frequencies?)
Cheers, Curly060 =;->
Curly060 - same adapter, but I use other adapters and cables as well (office, car, etc.). Custom rom was Maximus 30.0. No under/over clocking or volting.
My guess is that one of my power adapters is out of spec. I use a non-HTC adapter where it generally charges overnight.
I'll replace them all.

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately my phone dropped and the back glass cover and primary camera glass are shattered.
I can change it by myself (from years i can repair my phones without sending it and wait days and days) but now i cannot find any replacement parts on the net.
Can anyone help me please?
The part is like this: https://www.samsung-parts.net/epages/Samsung-Parts.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=1212377
Thank you!
You sadly will need to go through samsung or see if you can still add protection plan to carrier and then do claim few days after since you damaged it so early into launch. All the parts are going into devices still and nobody is parting out phones yet. Cant even get replacement sim trays etc from china yet.

Thank you so much for the reply. The only thing to do now is turn off the phone, turn on my note20u, and using it until in my supplier sites show on stock the replacement

On the site that i linked in the first post.
Original parts and accept paypal.
For me here in Italy is the best and reliable site
ItsTek on Amazon store I have found to be very good before with genuine Samsung parts. Bought two S20 and S20 Ultra rear glass from them before. I think you'll struggle for parts though on the S21 until at least a few more months.

Hey,
Thought I would pipe up and say I dropped my S21U after 5 days of having it ([email protected], i know) but got a replacement back from these guys: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fonejoy - genuine part and quite easy to fix yourself if you have patience.
