Sent my device back to be repaired by OnePlus.
Nothing wrong with the phone besides two things.
Proximity sensor
Brightness sensor.
They say I need to change all of these
Parts affected:
- Replacement antenna
- Replacement back camera
- Replacement battery
- Replacement battery cover
- Replacement display
- Replacement earpiece
- Replacement flex
- Replacement front camera
- Replacement main board
- Replacement speaker phone
- Replacement vibrator
- Screening
Plus the cost would be £854?? Lol a brand new 10 pro doesn't cost that much FFS.

Needless to say I said no, now I'm awaiting it coming back in a completely non working state and I'll end up with a fight on my hands..
I get it that it may have some water damage but honestly, £854?? What are these guys smoking? At best it'll be a problem with the sensors alone if they can't be removed then fair enough.
Guess i'm going to save up for the nothing 2.
Never again.
PS: just called SBE and spoke with some utter puppet, I advised that there was only a couple of problems with it and that I want the device back with the functionality that I sent it to them with...
Only to be told that "we can't make any guarantees"

Was using my Tilt last night. Set it down, and half an hour later the screen is like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I didn't move it, touch it, drop it, drop anything on it, etc.
Soft reset - no fix. Hard reset - no fix, but can't complete the setup, since I can't see anything. Any thoughts?
fraid thats a crack right there. rong atnt and get a replacement
How I can flash back to the orginial ROM, though? I can't see anything on the screen. I'd have to do the ROM and the SPL, correct?
Oh, and thanks for helping, jayjay!
go to the wiki page and it will tell you how to do it.

DONT send it back to at&t! they will see that it is physical damage and charge you the $400 out of warranty fee! best thing is find the thread about how to open the kaiser, order a new screen for around $60 and replace it urself. good luck
omar
what if he claims accidental damage. when my universal broke i told them i dropped by accident and they said its okay wells end you out a new one next day and all they charged was 15 quid
($30)
it doesnt matter if its accidental or not. im talking about the warranty, which only covers manufacturers defects. if u have insurance then u just pay the deductible
it seems like atnt have a little customer service to review. i have read theyre a bit iffy with customers wanting help
So bascially I drop my phone (2 feet off the ground) and it crack the screen.
Everything still works fine, only the glass is broken.
My question is I found LCD replacement on ebay for around $120~.
So if I replace that, is not an OLED anymore?!

I think I found the exact one and I'm pretty sure that is a SAMOLED just named incorrectly I don't think anyone would make a LCD screen for a captivate... but if so a SAMOLED would be well worth it over LCD
if its the screen for a cappy it is the right part and will be the same.
I see thanks,
Just debaiting if I should bother fixing it.
Dont really want to spend the $130~ for a DIY I'm not really comfortable with.
Anyone know some cheaper place for parts.
Contract ending in few months.
Going to switch to another provider which I can get a new phone.
I don't know anywhere you might be able to get one cheap mostly because it's the screen I imagine you can't really buy one that wasn't from a different captivate and since you're about to switch and get a new phone I'd live with it haha it's not worth that much money if you don't plan to use it much anymore
Is the screen and front glass one piece? It looks like the screen under the glass is fine.
I agree that there probably isn't a LCD for the captivate.
Sent from my Captivate running FireFly

I have the opportunity to buy a Nexus 6 that's working perfectly but has a broken screen for only 35 bucks. I'm a bit concerned looking at the Craigslist pic of the damage though. It looks to me like a bit of what's under the glass might be broken too but I'm not really sure. I'd certainly like a solid foundation to stick a new digitizer to. I'm hoping someone who has seen that part of the phone before can weigh in on this for me. If it's just more trouble waiting to happen I'll want to pass on it. Take a look at the pic and tell me what you think please...

Safest bet is to do digitizer and glass as one assembly rather than glass only replacement
Thanks but the phone was already sold when I woke up today. I agree that replacing the whole assembly is safest, but if I could afford that I would just find a whole phone that doesn't need the work.
LCD and Digitizer is like every other modern phone on the market, they are bonded together so you cannot just replace the digitizer. Sure you can buy the digitizer online but due to the bonding process they use during manufacturing the LCD will break trying to take them apart. Unless of course you have specialized equipment just for breaking the bond, then you would need bout half a million dollars in equipment to liquid optically bond them back together. Cheaper to just buy a whole new display
Hi guys,
I got an accidental scratch on my Mi 9 camera lens today (the main camera on the back). I unfortunately got a small black spot whenever I shot a photo now, so I suppose the whole glass needs a change.
Is it difficult? Where to order from?
I'm going to Bangkok next month, do you think the official stores offering glass repair?

I've googled for 'xiaomi mi 9 camera glass'.
If you're in Bangkok just go to one of the big electronic shopping malls*. They all offer repair service for literally each and every device.
* MBK, 4th floor
* Fortune Town
* Pantip Plaza

Friends, would you say this a glass damage or something else?

Well, try use other lenses, for ex. use 0.6X lens (wide-angle). If this mark stay, it's not a glass problem.
Hello all,
As the title says, I bought this for my brother couple of years ago and now it's showing a purple tint (very obvious when running on white background) and also its like I'm seeing a double image in the background-specifically the image, in this case a guitar, as seen in the back; like it's burned in. Is this a serious issue and can it be fixed? Took it to a store and the guy, immediately told me change screen and it will cost almost as much as a new phone. Just wondering if there is another solution.
Thanks, Gary

If you purchased this unit 2nd hand, chances are the display has burn-in damage. You could try this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mert.screenburnfixer&hl=en&gl=US) to see if it will help with the burn in issue. Please note that you should run it for about an hour.

Thanks for the answer. It's from a shop, not 2nd hand. And it happened after 2-3 years of use but not extensive. Talked with Samsung customer service they told me the guarantee is over so nothing can be done. Told them it wasn't my fault if you have faulty hardware that triggers after x amount of time that YOUR machine broke down. It never fell from his hands or anything. Anyways I'll try that app though from what I started reading online, the problem seems to be consistent with many same model phones.
