Samsung Logo - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a reason some galaxy tabs have a samsung logo at the bottom and some don't. i just bought one and it has it (wifi only 16gb), but the ones at best buy don't....thanks!

I think some of the earlier builds did not have the logo. I got a tab in July 2011 and it did not have the logo. I had issues with Newton Rings, so I sent it in for refurb. I got a "certified like-new replacement" tab back in November, and it had the Samsung logo on the bottom, plus a Verizon logo on the top right corner. Seems like a different glass, too.

Its still gorilla glass right? I need me gorilla glass!!!

should be the same specs, just different logos. the best buy version are unbranded for the most part, and the cell carriers like to brand everything differently just that everyone knows you got your tablet from them. but its all the same on the inside

Help!

I got the TP2 T-Mobile version.
Let's just say that I love that phone and until windows 8 won't come out i won't ever replace it for nothing !!!
I need to change my Top frame with the digitizer and LCD screen.
My phone looks like that (for who forgot how it looks): http://www.letstalk.com/img/prod/cell-phones/t-mobile/htc/htc-touch-pro-2-tmobile_xl_5.gif
The same shape, the same color (the old good horse).
I can't Find anyware a digitizer made of GLASS + none top frame for that kind of phone.
Can i take a glass digitizer + frame + lcd screen of tilt or sprint and to fix it in ?
will it fit by the size ???
P.S
i took before a test with flex cable of sprint (with the front cam) and put it in and it's working just needed to make a room a bit (mooding style =] ).
Please mates, help me...I don't want to use the iPhones people gave me :'(

No, both of those say they are made for the T-Mobile version. They are the LCD and Digitizer(touchscreen) combo. Sounds like you want or need a new housing too?
This page has all three available:
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-touch-pro2-screens-repair-parts.html
If you use google you can probably find several more.
You are never going to find a glass digitizer(touchscreen) for this device because the rest of the hardware is only compatible with a resistive touchscreen digitizer that is flexible(plastic.) Glass digitizers(touchscreens) like the one on the HD2 are capacitive. Different technology.

newsflash - this phone is capable to use a glass digitizer also.
there is a second gen of the phone with glass digitizer (i all ready found one), all need to do is changing the LCD screen also.
but what's stopping me is the top frame.
and this site not have the frame up housing for the T-Mobile.
thanks for trying.

Hmm...second gen??
If you are talking about the HTC 7 Pro/Arrive which is basically the same form factor as the TP2 but runs Windows Phone 7 then that is a completely different device. Sorry dude, I seriously doubt that's gonna work.
Here's a link to a top housing:

no mate, not HTC 7PRO.
the HTC TP2 is one of the phones that got too much versions.
If it's sprint / At&t / Verizon etc...
and it T-Mobile (for example) it got 2 versions - The one before the 3GS (plastic digitizer - Gen one), and the one that after the 3GS came out (Glass Digitizer - Gen 2).
Don't you fix phones to know that ? :S
Seems easier to completely replace with a used phone rather than try to repair. I just bought a used TP2 for my wife (same as mine) for $60 on ebay.

I love to repair stuff.
and that's need to be only 25-30 dollars to fix it instead of buying used one.

Well "mate", no I don't fix a lot of phones other than my own but I do know quite a bit about these devices. Sorry, but the Touch Pro 2 was never sold or distributed with a glass digitizer so you won't find a replacement digitizer made out of glass to install. Even if you did find one to fit the rest of the hardware would not support it or function properly and maybe the device wouldn't work at all. The LCD, however, IS made out of glass. The LCD/Digitizer assembly consists of a glass LCD screen with a flexible plastic Digitizer glued to the LCD panel with an adhesive. That's what you'll find to repair what you have and that's what I tried to help you find with the links I gave you. I wish now I had never tried to help you because you seem to be quite a smarta$$ and aparently you already know everything and you just want to argue so I'm done trying to help you.
By the way, what is this 3GS stuff you are talking about? If you are referring to the iPhone then it has nothing to do with this device. You must be really confused or you're just ignorant.
What a waste of time this was.
look on the original question please.
i am looking to fit a htc tp2 like the orginal (no t-mobile one) to the t-mobile version.
the question was if it will fit by the size ? - if i will replace the frame, screen and digitizer.
that's what i don't know, if it will sit properly on the case.
all the other stuff on the device i know. and i have lots of devices but that one i LOVE !!!
Only the t-mobile digitizer fits on the t-mobile version of the phone (if you don't replace bezel and frame. It is different from all the other variants of the Tp2, but they all use the same screen.. It's still a resistive glass digitizer in all the versions despite their form differences. There is no capacitive (if that's what you mean by "glass") version of the phone.
If you wanted to replace the entire top sliding/tilting part of the tp2, it would probably work, but the placement of the flex cables and motherboard may be different. If you look on the HTC website for the t-mobile tp2 and all the other tp2's, the dimensions are identical in all versions. There is no guarantee that they will fit, but you can tell us if it fits or not

Dropped my galaxy s3 screen cracked what are my options?

Jumping out my truck in a rush with s3 in hand it slipped and fell flat on the screen. Screen cracked right in the middle all the way through ... Is my only option to buy a new phone
Ouch.
Its repairable but its an expensive repair as entire screen + digitizer assembly needs to be replaced.
Parts are available: http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9300-galaxy-c-26_1412.html
You might want to ask local Samsung repair centre for paid repair quote. Might be very close to the cost of part and might make better sense to get it done through Samsung directly.
didnt you use a case or screen guard? if so you did a big mistake you can take it for samsung service center and ask them to replace it, but they will charge for sure..

No, you have to replace the screen... there's a video on youtube how to dismantle SGS3.
Or, you could probably still get $400 for it on eBay. (If you're not the type who attempts to repair things on your own...)
Man I feel for you. I dropped my phone yesterday, it landed on it's face and has marks on the screen. The first thing I done was phone my insurance company and swap the details from my old s2 to this one .. I know I will do it again .

you didnt mention if the sreen was funtional, is it?
id just keep it if it was still functiional. it looks weird when off but barely noticeable in the pics.
just another opinion. of course if its non functioning that option isnt there lol
Damn s3 so breakable. I remember when i had s2 and note, it felt from my hands a lot of times and no scratches or broken display
I got a Squaretrade warranty for mine -- $69 for a year and covers accidental damage. (Doesn't cover loss or theft though...). They also charge a 99 dollar deductible, but that's still better than the almost $700 I paid for it to begin with.
A quick reminder, buying insurance on something after damaging it, then using the insurance to repair it *is* fraud, which is illegal, don't get us in trouble m'kay!

the important question is who is the lovely lady?
SGS2 & SGS3 screen
Samsung used the Gorilla Glass for SGS2. But for SGS3, they used the Gorilla Glass 2 which is much thinner than on SGS2 that's why it's easily breaks. For me, I will stay on my SGS2.
looks like i'll be buying a case for mine seeing all these posts about screen breakage. but until I find the right case, at least i have 90 days of lost & damage protection from Amex!

Yes, sell that crap phone and buy htc one x, which is much more durable

Screen damage is not the end of the world.......i have been looking at tear downs for the SGS3 and they are pretty basic, even replacing the screen ( which will prob end up costing where abouts of 249 dollars) but that over trashing a new device. i have dropped my sgs3 3 times in the last week and the silver bumper looks Hella Ratty, but my screen is perfect.
i am going to buy a replacement screen as the housing and the screen are joined together, or else i would really need to do some heat gun and gental pulling of the screen to get it out of the housing. but its not hard yall.
if your screen is cracked and you dont have warranty, maybe a screen is the way to go. all you need is small screw driver and a flat metal/plastic peice to pull of the board connections.

are you serious? with gorilla glass or gorilla glass 2, theres always the risk of cracking the screen when it falls on a hard surface. you cant be serious that thats the reason why your sticking with your s2
Go to a mobile phone repair shop.

Scratched my screen pretty badly :(

Hey Guys,
I scratched my notes's screen a bit in the middle in 2-3 spots while going camping. Looking at the phone makes me want to flush it down the drain!
I called bell and told them i had all kind of issues and they told me that they do not do any exchanges, they send phones to Samsung and they decide if the phone gets repaired or exchanged.
So my question is , did any of you deal with samsung repair center and did they send you a refurbished phone, or your same phone with scratches all over the place?

Well u cannot lie and say that u have all these issues especially when u clearly don't and only want a new one cuz of your screen. Its called a screen protector and a otter box. That's your own fault and if u lied to them about issues they will try to duplicate the issues and will only attempt to fix anything they may see. Quite pathetic to lie to get a new one cuz u weren't prepared for your adventure .

you can put a protector on the screen now and hide most of the scratches.. i bought a phone and the seller did this.. very very hard to tell, but with the protector off substantial scratch..

Ditto that. A Zagg screen should fill in the scratches and make them almost invisible and prevent further scratches. Also, comes with a lifetime warranty.
I've dealt with Samsung warranty over charging port/cable issues and they sent me a new device rather than a refurb. I retained my own S-Pen, Battery, and sim card. You can send them your phone for whatever reason you want, but once they get it and realize that you just wanted a new device cause you scratched your screen they will most likely charge you for the device.
I agree that you've really got to look at yourself as the cause of the problem. You could have gotten a quality screen protector for minimal cash, and if you can afford the phone and service you can afford to protect it.
Why even take your phone camping? You should never take a phone like the Note camping with you. Keep a backup flip phone and slide your sim in while your camping. People camp to get away from the world not to bring it with them. Also if your gonna cheat Samsung cause you made a mistake and messed your screen up, you will probably never learn your lesson. Buy another Note or deal with your mistake after all Samsung did nothing wrong. Its your fault not theirs. Not only is it lame and dishonest its a crime to scam for free property. Scratched phones are not covered with warranty, but real malfuntions are so I guess your outta luck.

wow, this thread has gone out of proportion! Lets put some facts clear :
1. I did not post a complete post as i was really tired and sleepy ( sorry about that )
2. I am having LTE connectivity issues and 50% drop calls on LTE. we changed SIM cards already and Bell told me to get my phone repaired
3. I got Some pink screens about 10 times in total which worried me. Got them on stock GB, on Perfection ICS Leaks, and on Stock ICS
4. I always had a screen protector, but had few issues with it. It got dirty on the top part next to the front camera, and it had all kind of lines because of the s-pen ( I guess they sold me the wrong type of screen protector as this one sucks! )
I endured it for 6 months but got fed up and ordered a Spigen Glas.t from eBay. I got fed-up of the screen protector meanwhile and i took it off last weekend. Since then ive been scratching my phone all the time, in my pockets, with quarters or keys, or plastic cards!!!This gorilla screen is not really good on the Note.
Anyways sorry for the confusion, hope i cleared out everything.

Just because it's gorilla glass doesn't change the fact that you're careless. I don't use a screen protector either, but then again my note always has a dedicated pocket. Gorilla glass isn't diamond, if something has a higher hardness rating, it will scratch the screen. Plain and simple. Pay for the repair or get a screen protector to fill the scratches in. It's your fault. Samsung will replace phones for manufacturers defects, but the screen scratches will take precedence over the other issues, as those aren't manufacturers defects. Take it as a lesson learned, you pay for expensive ****, so take care of it like it's expensive ****.

Gorilla glass is very weak. The only screens I have scratched or broke were gorilla glass.
For $200 Samsung will replace your front glass, LCD, and digitizer. It is one unit. They will fix your other issues for free by flashing a basic stock rom and recovery, then see if you have bad hardware. It will take ten days. Call them.

Screen Protector/Sticker for verizon logo?

Aloha mates wondering if there was a sticker or a screen protector that covers the hideous verizon logo on their g3
This is exactly what I'm looking for. Was all set to pick this up but I honestly can't stand that logo. Unless I can find a discrete way to cover it up I don't think I'll purchase the G3.
I've dealt with screen protectors with black strips covering the edges outside of the screen, so that'd be most ideal. Unfortunately I can't find anything.
Verizon customers getting screwed over as usual... lol
Good coverage, crappy phones. Divine justice, really ?
There's gotta be some decently easy way to remove that thing right? Its not like its etched in correct?
Verizon logo doesn't both me one bit. the locked bootloader on the other hand does

I asked someone in the Verizon G3 thread who just got a verizon review unit. its not etched or printed on the glass, it's underneath it so there's no way to remove the logo. You either have to cover it up or just deal with it.
the logo is indeed hideous. lucky we don't do such thing here in my country. i would be pissed off to have any other logo than the brand on my phone.

Question Did yours come with a factory fitted screen protector? Getting mine today from EE :)

Hi, I have had a text saying my S23 Ultra is being delivered today, which is great and ahead of originally planned.
Can anyone tell me if their phone come with a factory fitted screen protector, or does the S23 not have one?
Regards
James
The is no screen protector on S23U.
no - just the black sticker
No screen protector on the one I received from T-Mobile last week.
No screen protector on S23U in Bulgaria either. The only protection you get is the plastic peels on the metal frame - everything else you have to pay for.
EE sent me a S23+ today instead of an Ultra. Yay.

Yeah until someone figure it out I will give them chance tomorrow to sort it out
In Sweden ( bought in Samsung store) comes without factory screen protector
I bought 2 of them, one is for family member
Packed with soft screen foil and the other one without
Mine came with an ass looking protector - with a giant hole in the middle, it supposed to be like that, they said to me because of the fingerprint reader. C'mon Samsung. I threw it in the bin immediately.
Not having a screen protector is part of the screaming lie "Samsung is saving the planet" ....15 tons saved for MILLIONS of phones...amounts to nothing.
Let me show you how much plastic I got buying screen protectors from Scamazon... probably 100g going straight to the landfill.
Imagine if I also bought a charger...
People are SO gullible...so many reviews praise Scamsung for caring about the environment, when the absolute opposite is true.
