Hello!
My home button on the galaxy s2 is dead. Is there a method to change it? The only way I found is to change the whole LCD screen. I cant believe there is no other way
Thanks!
I dont know about the display it self but the design of the mobile phone suggests that you need to remove the display in order to get acces to the button below.
I can confirm this. The screen needs to be removed in order to replace the home button.
Removing the screen is NOT easy....the chances of breakage are very high. If the phone is under warranty, that is your best bet........

Can anyone assist with a couple of questions I have:
1. Since installing all the various bits of software on my IIi the screen rotation icon has disappeared from the bottom right of the today screen. Is there a way to get it back?
2. Because of the above, I re programme the camera, button 3 to rotate the screen, however it seems to default back to Camera after a soft reset. Is this a know problem?
Cheers

We have been discussing this over on TekGuru. It is a problem others are experiencing as well and so far no one has figured out a way to get it back or what causes it to disapear. Presumably you still have the screen rotation icon on your O2 Active Screen.
If you use or decide to use SPB Pocket Plus, you can use it to put screen rotation icons on your Today Screen.
The other thing to do is to assign it to a hardware button as yu have done. I assigned it to the calendar button when holding it down (I am using Vito's ButtonMapper which allows each hardware button to do two different functions).
It does not default back to the original setting after a soft reset but it may be that the camera button works in a different way.
Thanks for the update, my only thought on this is that it seemed to disappear after I added the additional software from the o2 CDROM.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next ROM update, which hopefully will include Blackberry support
Hello I dont know if this question respects only the LG O1 but I am gonna start from here.
I had my phone on my desk and suddenly I found out that
the lock screen is gone (when I press the lock button the screen just turns off)
the home button was not working - responding alone
the airplane and silent mode were gone only power off selection existed when I had the lock button pressed
and all my calls were automatically reset.
I tried to reboot and remove the buttery and/or SIM but no luck. I dont want to factory reset at all is there anything I can do throw the ADB shell. Any place were I can look at
I am experiencing the exact same problem since late last night. In addition the Home button and Search button do not work (when pressed they illuminate the screen - since there is no lock anymore) however do not carry the intended function (of returning to home menu or searching).
Can someone please help! I have already sent 2 random (and one embarrassing ) SMS to people on my contact list.
I know one easy way so READ CAREFULLY
1: find and install "Power Control Plus" widget from market.
2: Add Lock on/off widget to background and disable.
It's that easy
So this is just for the lock I will see something about other stuff u said.
Thanks ljubisa_sk
Unfortunately the widget does not lock the screen - actually it has no effect nether this, nor other 'screen locker' apps in the market
My phone is branded and locked to Three Ireland (H3G).
Does anyone know whether there was some sort of OTA update rolled out automatically or something similar?
I know this is old and the issue still remains.
However, what I have seen now is that when I put the phone on airplane mode, the screen lock appears and I can slide to unlock.
As soon as the airplane mode is off, I get back to the same symptoms.
Can anyone help please??? I am really getting annoyed with my phone.
Flash a custom rom ?

but the phone is 2 months old only - I'd rather not void the warranty.
I was hoping for a solution here as I'm not in Ireland anymore to send it to the Three store.
Better void warranty, lg os is the most crappy thing I've experienced.after first inversion of void Rom I was stunned by it's speed and with the touchscreen fix you will experience new powers of this cheap phone.I've voided my warranty in the first month . Good luck.

Hi
Yesterday, I broke my samsung galaxy s3 screen.
Now all i get is a black screen, and the touch screen no longer works. And with no way to access anything that is on the internal memory on my phone.
When I plug my phone, I usually have to bring down the menu bar, and click the mount option. However, as the phones touch screen doesnt work, and the screen is just black, I dont know how to back up my data.
Does anyone know if there is anyway of backing up my phone?
Thanks
Get a new screen? all the files will still be there
There are situations where I want to immediately lock my phone: e.g. I'm charging it at my desk and have to run away for a meeting or something. In that case I just want to lock it immediately and go. I don't want to put it to sleep because because it's not really locked in that mode. With my old "dumb" phone, I could just hold down one of the keys (* or #) and it would be locked. But I can't figure out how to do that with the Amaze. I found a one-touch option for turning wifi off/on and changing the sound profile but nothing for locking the screen.
I searched the manual and online but could only find how to customize the lock screen, not a one-touch solution. There must be one right?
I'm not running stock, but I thought there was an option have it lock immediately after it's put to sleep. The option is there in CM anyway.

Screen lock and off app. You can set it to lock on long press of the search button, or just add a shortcut to your home screen or Dock.

1. My S3 i535 locks up something fierce and it's running stock 4.3. and whats odd is I can press the lockscreen button which shuts off the lcd and then press it again and swipe to unlock and its fine again till I click a few more things. Rinse and repeat this process and pretty much becomes a chore trying to do anything at all. not sure if this is a separate issue on it's own or somehow related to the below issue.
2. Odd behavior with my touch screen. I have 4 apps across and 4 down on my Home-screen... if I press and hold any of the 4 shortcuts on the left hand edge I can move them like normal... same for the 2 on the right edge that are towards the middle of the screen, but the remaining icons if I try to press and hold to move them... they just open the app instead. Have tried a different launcher other than stock and same problem. Same behavior on other screens as well. I'm thinking bad digitizer? If it's digitizer, can anyone tell me if the i535's digitizer is the same as that in the i9300?
Any help appreciated. :good:
