[Q] Lanyard hole? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If this was asked already, excuse my search skills, I couldn't find this on the forum.
Anyway, does the Galaxy S II have a lanyard hole?
I've tried looking at the video reviews, and countless of pictures, but either I can't see it, or it just doesn't have one.
Can someone who owns the phone confirm this, please?
I've never been a fan of lanyards, but considering $800 will be dangling from my fingers every time I use the phone, I'd much rather have a strap of some sort in case I manage to drop it. Yes, even with a case on, I'd still like a lanyard of some sort.
Thanks!

LOL -- I think that's a cute answer.
The random hole is the lanyard hole -- like the previous reply shows, you first remove the back cover.
Next to that random hole, you'll notice there is a hook right next to the hole. Push the entire small loop (the phone end of the lanyard) through the hole, wrap the loop around the hook, and pull to tighten.
The Nokia 5800 also uses a similiar style lanyard hook.

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

So not only this S2 looks sexy, sleek and with top notch hardware features, but also DOES have a lanyard hole! I'm tired of using a scotch tape hack on my HD2.
All the more reason to upgrade.

Why do guys use lanyard on their phones? I know it's cute on girls but guys... ummm...

I use it because I work in a warehouse and I am not allowed headphones and it muffles the sound in my pocket. So I hang it around my neck and run the radio for 8 hours straight.
*I work spread out in to big a area for a stationary radio. Also machinery has a habit of hitting me exactly at the pocket it would be kept in.
A couple guys like my idea that the next phones they buy are going to have radio or at least smart phones for music playback and lanyard holes.

I've seen the same note on the PDF manual for this phone.
I am not seeing this hook on the brand new AT&T Version of this phone.
Can use the fingernail hole and loop it around the camera????

dropped stylus in holder

OK, I've gone and done a embarrasing thing ;o)
had the top of the stylus bit unscrewed. put the bottom bit in the holder on XDA, and it appears to have dropped down!
no amount of prising with screwdriver etc can get it out ;(
Any suggestions for how to get it out?
Disassemble etc?
Thanks,
Ben
I did the same thing, I got a small jewellers screwdriver and pushed it down while exerting pressure to one side, it took a few pulls but it got there gradually. The best thing would be if you can find something longer than the top part of the stylus with the same thread and screw that in, since it happened to me I went to a local engineering place and they sold me a piece of threaded bar that does the trick.
thanks - is there any danger of affecting the circuitry if I start poking?
its just, i was looking at the XDA internals photos, and there doesn't seem to be a proper seperator?
I'll try a small screwdriver..thanks

I used the plastic top of a 3 in one stylus I bought (and discovered was a lot of rubbish because the reset pin was too big) and trimmed down the plastic, attached it to a piece of tube, and stuck it in, screwed it onto the bit in there and pulled it out.
ruined a stylus though.
..Chuck..
I can be so stupid sometimes.
Went and did what you did Chuck, but forgot to attach the tubing or any means of getting it out
Gonna try a tiny dab of glue...
I did the same thing on the Xda II. Unfortunately the narrower stylus makes it even harder to find a suitable tool
Found that the (plastic) end of a children's small paintbrush was just the job!
Can't get it out now
Does anyone know what screwdrivers I need to disassemble XDA?
It looks like a standard straight one, and a torx one of some size?
@tabbycat: Where did you get the XDA II?
Same thing happened to me: I just gently banged the tip of the antenna on the table. Dropped right out. But then maybe my stylus holder has become quite loose...

Its called a hanger hole, its in the manual
http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/tech-specs/
No my plastic cover never came off
Anyone got and idea of how to fix it?
Looks like the holder is part of the phone frame. If the little T-shaped tab broke off, you may be SOL on fixing it. Perhaps you could buy a broken Tilt 2 off eBay (I've seen them) and transfer the part, but taking a phone apart and putting it back together correctly is not an easy task.
I never would have guessed that hole was for a strap or charm, although that's quite apparently what its for. The T-shaped tab under the battery covers sure doesn't look strong enough for the purpose.
never had a hole on mine, whered u get that from?! lol

I never, ever would have guessed that that hole was for hanging the little charms off of. I once wondered why this phone didn't come with something like that when most phones did.
Amazing what reading the manual can do~!
love hanging charms
sorry about your luck.
yep, i love hanging a charm or a cute screen cleaner from the charm hole.
been using it for a year..hope mine doesnt do the same

Oh please do
I use a strap for mine. It works wonderfully!
Wow that's great. Does anybody know where to find a strap that would be good to wear my Tilt2 around my neck please? It would be great for working while wearing a wired headset. Hate keeping it in my pocket and I'm not happy with any of the holsters. Especially that oem one. That sucker will help a guy lose his phone in a hurry...
EDIT; Nevermind. I figured out to search for the words phone and lanyard on ebay. Decisions, desisions.
Memory card lanyards work fine too. I'm using a lanyard for a SanDisk MicroSD adapter for my phone. It works great.
Whoa, that little plastic bit holding the weight of a Tilt 2 on a lanyard or wrist strap? Sounds like tempting fate to me. I never have used a wrist strap on a phone and this definitely doesn't inspire me to try it now, lol. HTC should have built something a little more substantial than that into the frame if they wanted it to be really useful as a hanging point for the phone. I have been wondering where the strap on the HTC accessory page was supposed to attach, now I know.

You are correct. It does look cheesy. However, so far so good. I do think it is important to be certain that the string of the lanyard is seated to the base of the "T" opening really well. Fortunately that is easy to pull off. Also I don't think I'd swing it around by the lanyard with the cover off. After a few weeks of using a wrist strap and a neck lanyard I don't see any signs of stress on the plastic. So maybe it will hold out.

Kevlar stripe - Flimsy ?

I saw on a video that somebody could easily tear that kevlar piece out from right under the camera... It looks loose and flimsy, and not well stuck on the back of the phone.
Can anyone confirm this by sticking your nail under the weave right under the camera ? Last thing I want is to buy a phone for 600 bucks and have the back tear up on me after a month.

It's not the kevlar back but the plastic covering on the top (camera/flash/speaker) which can be taken off, possibly revealing some screws. Other than that there seems to be no way to open the device.

This request/observation is just hilarious.
Why not take ANY phone and try to jam an ice pick between the edge of the glass and the phone. Hit it with a hammer.... does anything happen?
Or drop any phone from a really tall building, cause I'd hate to spend $600 on a phone and not have it survive something like.
Maybe put any phone in a blender, cause I'd hate to spend $600 on a phone and not have it blend properly.

Nope, it isn't.
If I get a device and the plastic that covers the screws gets detached easily it's a build flaw. If the Kevlar thing gets detached it's a design flaw. If you drop your phone from a tall building or hit it with an hammer it's a flaw of your brain.
It's different.
I wouldn't pick at my RAZR like that anyways.

I agree. The guy in the vid didn't use force. Come to think of it the OP didn't really meant to use force and try to open the back cover.
The cover we know is kevlar and durable. The material witch glues it on the phone how durable is it?
Tbh im in love with the back cover of the phone. I'd never put a cover/case on it. I wouldn't want to put one out of need( safe sex suxx )
Obviously, DrUnKenSTeiN is probably the only intelligent human on this post.
Where did anyone here read that I want you to remove the cover or bash it with a hammer ?
All I asked was to see if that thing is flimsy and all I got was raw violence by some members who probably have Attention deficit disorder (syntrix, ianford)
When I asked once if a certain laptop was flimsy, one intelligent human pressed on the lid lightly, checked for keyboard flex, and gave me his opinion.
You may say it's not important for daily use, but so does Android OS or a large screen. A smartphone can be productive without them, but this is not what discussion boards are about.
You may be excused to feel embarrassed, thanks.

Would just like to confirm that the phone in the video DOES have a defect. With all the force in the world I couldn't even get my fingernail under the Kevlar, let alone pry it up. He did it with no effort, like it was hanging off. Mine is sealed so tight (top, bottom and along the sides) you couldn't do anything to it if you tried.

And the 18th post is the winner (crowd cheers and applause)!
If your phone is sealed then its not something that all razrs got. Seems like a flaw in the specific device.
Its important for guys that have bought the phone and its defective that they wont think that ,this is how the phone is.

I messed around with 4 RAZR's today at three different stores. I even took out a penny that was scarred and I was not able to even scuff the Kevlar. It's on there on all the edges and sides REALLY REALLY good. And, that Kevlar is REALLY durable.
The one in the VIDEO MUST BE DEFECT.

[GUIDE] Replacing the bottom cover of your Xperia S

Hey guys,
I wrote this in the Q&A section and I think this could be interesting for some of you..
If your bottom cover is broken or makes some stupid noises you can simply replace it.. You can buy replacement covers at ebay and also other sites, for example:
http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Bu...T26i-SO-02D-/170872807890?var=#ht_4332wt_1163
http://www.handyersatzteilshop.de/a...+Cover+black+Sony+XPERIA+S+LT26i_3409642.html (german site)
To replace the bottom cover you have to follow these steps:
1. Pull the bottom cover a bit so that there is a little gap between the transparent strip and the cover.
2. Unlock the clips with your fingernails or a guiter pick.. Try to keep pulling the cover while you do this
3. Go all the way around until all the clips are unlocked.. Start at front left or right side
4. The replacement cover can be simply attached by pushing it over the naked end of the phone
See my attached pictures below
Good luck
MisterG
ps: for best results use a light guitar pick (mine was 0.60mm)
Really needed this guide. Pretty much made my bottom cap ugly when it fell and now there's a nasty bump on the edge. This should help. Though do you think the prices for the bottom cap will come down significantly? If it won't, I will be highly inclined to buy it now though it seems a bit on the costly side.
I don't know.. You're right - it's just a small piece of plastic but there's a xperia logo on it so it costs what it costs Maybe there are some non original covers but I haven't seen any yet..

Would be nice if more colours was available.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I want to replace mine, but the reason isn't so bad so I can hold off until more parts become available...
How hard to you have to pull the cap to make a gap? Quite a lot of force? because that is the part that scares me the most, haha pulling apart by baby :fingers-crossed:
Don't pull too hard The cover doesn't move very much anyway.. You only have to get a small gap to put something into, like a guitar pick (or any other flexible piece of something) Without pulling I wasn't able to get my pick placed, so if you do: well done

Pull your cover off, grab a spray can in your favorite color and spray it Just joking - don't blame me if something goes wrong^^ Seriously: I don't think that there will be other colors than black and white in the future
Thanks Much needed guide for because of my clumsy girlfriend.
Thanks for the guide!
Just to be precise, there are only 2 clips on the front. The middle one looks like a guide, it's definitely not a clip
Cheers
I just received my cover from spareparts.
I had to wait 2 weeks because they didn't have stock but once they did, it took about 3 days to arrive to Canada where I live.
The cover feels and looks the same so that's a relief.
I dropped my phone and it cracked so I had to get a new one.
Cheers!

You will get full housings on eBay but I guess you better take that to the service center as the display is fixed with the upper panel so repairing it by yourself could see you playing with fire with a delicate device. Sounds nasty though
What happens is that theres no Sony official center in my country so I don't know what to do is real ugly really? I think there's just really tight cause I saw a video where they show the battery and so

Yeah, I already mentioned that it's possible to use your fingernails.. Advantage of a guiter pick is that it can be left sticked in while turning the phone freely if you have to alter your hand's position

Check the links in my first post... There is also this website http://sparepart.dk/en/sony-sony-ericsson-1629/sony-xperia-s-100338/spare-parts-100339/ where you can get nearly everything..
By the way.. Maybe we can attach new colored bottom covers soon when the xperia sl is released.. This model is meant to be a refresh of our XS with some slightly changed hardware specs but the size should be equal.. So next time purple/blue or pink bottom cover?^^

can i remove the cover and put it back again?
mine just make some noise...
Nice one, just put an order in for a replacement, gonna spray it a custom colour
Thank you for this guide. I dropped my phone and the only scratch was on the bottom right corner - it was driving me crazy. I got the part quickly from sparepart.dk even though I'm in California and they ship from Denmark. Phone looks like the day I got it.
Nice to hear that I could help you

Glass Replacement

So, I see only one other thread about this, but I dropped my phone (Clumsy me left it on a chair, it slid off, and spider webbed my phone(SUCH a short distance)) But, I've bought the replacement part myself, and I plan on doing the repair myself. Is there anything I should know before I actually do this? Has total disassemble of the phone been done before?
Not to hijack your thread, but it drives me nuts how my LGOG seems to seek out-on its own-a way to dive off my coffee table/sofa/end table...no matter how flat and non inclined I sit it two seconds later and...CRASH! floor time...luckily mine has been taking it ok. So I feel your pain, and hope you get the help you seek.

I replaced the digitizer on an HTC Vivid and used 3m double sided tape and doubled that up so the screen wasn't directly on top of the lcd. The video for that one recommended doing that to keep some weird effects on the screen.

Whats the youtube vid name?
Maybe try some silicone glue
Maybe try some of the silicone seal (blue silicone glue) to attach it. If nothing else you might try some electronic stores (specialty or other Cell phone repair stores) for the glue that is needed. I would opt for something that isn't so hard on stuck and maybe go for something that holds tight and seals well but doesn't make it damn near impossible.
