Hi guys and gals,
I posted that on q&a but went unnoticed. Just want to check if there is hope...
My primary microphone is gone (water damage). It sits on the "UI board with vibration" under the home button.
Could only find it in two online shops, but not in stock for a month.
Now the developement part: is there a way to make the secondary microphone default -as ti is I see it is only used with camera. -This is for the time I wait for the new part.
Anybody has access to a new part quicker than in a month? Will settle for a used one.

Only thing I found was a micswitch, and all it does is changes the a1026 value in build.prop -or ment to change it, doesnt quite work here. Gave me an idea though, so I changed it myself, but makes no difference.
Since the primary stopped working I hear myself in the speaker, comming from the secondary, but for some reason that sound from the secondary mic is not feed to the remote phone...

Ok, we'll try it from another angle.
Cant get the part anywhere. Its still on warranty, I kight send it off, but not sure I want to waste time.
Is there any warranty seals that I didnt see when stripping the bottom plastics? As in, will it show at the service that I opened the phone? Also, wil they see "water damage" as they usually see -I didnt see any traces.

Have you try to clean it with this: http://www.amazon.com/CRC-05103-Quick-Electronic-Cleaner/dp/B000BXOGNI
or a similar product?
Thanks, I think its the lowest price cleaner I seen. Localy at my usual electronics shop they go for about 20.
I havent really noticed any moisture residue. Got the phone stripped right after and "hair dryered".
I'm just wondering, have they got any fancy x-ray os such that would tell them anyway?

Every smartphone have a water indicator: i don't know where is in the ray,but is a small piece of special paper that change color when get water.
sorry fo r my english...
Inviato dal mio ST18i
There is a water sticker on the battery and all over the insides of the phone. The bottom panel including. If even one of them is red, the warranty is not valid. My ray got dipped in water too, fortunately i managed to open it up and clean in fast enough, so no damage(except the lost warranty).
K, so I guess thre million dollar question now is where tyat sticker is oj ray. My phone only got the dipped to the top of home button (standing).
I'll chance it, since I cant find the replacement parts anywhere
Sent from my ST18i using XDA
Well, well well... just got the phone back from the shop. Warranty was a keeper and the Ray is fixed and good as new... or... as new. Lost root, toggles, and all the work done previously. On a bright - I can have fun doing it all over again and best of all - I don't have to rush unwinding the headset from the pocket just to answer the phone anymore.
Happy days.
Thank you Sony

Hello xda guys!
Like a dumb i decided to change the front cover of my sony x10 mini, so, i decided to open it and de-assembly my phone.
It was all so easy, in few time and simply i got all the parts of my phone not mounted.
So i began to re-assembly every pieces and all looks fine, but, when i turned on my phone, after all the boot image i saw the sliding unlock command was not working good
The touch-sensor was not sensing my touch properly.
So i decided to de-assembly it again e re-assembly.
After this the phone was no more sensible at touch!!!!!
What did i brake?
What did i damaged?
Thanks for helps in advance.
Hi, As I saw on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCb0oxd_3c), there are lots of wires in this device.
Didn't you forgot to plug in one of them ? Or did you damage any integrated circuits ? Must be one of these if it's a hardware problem. It can be a firmware problem too but it's kinda obvious it isn't seeing the facts.
Anyway, i guess you should go back to SE's 2.1 rom and send it back to the customer service, i fear that it would be even more damaging to open it back again :s
http://youtu.be/iyT618lVxUs
My phone is this.
Well, now, my phone is definitely a test one (warranty no more valid), so i can do tests.
I guess i damaged the circuit or the sensor abled to sense touch, just because, all the other function looks working good.
I'm not sure on a thing: should i resolve just changing the motherboard or the display?
Ah yes, I misread you're on mini, not mini pro. Well, displays are solid componants. Unless the ribbon cable is damaged. I see no point in changing it. It's easier to damage a motherboard.(did that on my pc...)
These videos are awesome but i'll never try that myself. Too afraid of loosing my phone !
Yes! This should be the way! Thanks for the precious hints!
Definitely resolved!!!
Just changed the frontal cover!!
Now my phone works like a new one!!!!
I just checked out the official SONY ERICSSON X10 MINI repair manual on a wiki homepage. If someone need the link just ask me through a email!

Hi All,
I just bought the Photon 4G day before night and am loving it
But I realized that camera is showing a black patch on the screen... Its there in the file even when i take snaps as well as record videos Its set there permanently (same spot). Its somewhat translucent.
Please can anyone help me out fixing it cause its disappointing me somewhat
I have attached few images to let you guys know how it looks..
Oh and I think I dont need to point out the location of this ****. Its at the same spot in all the three images. In the second pic below the androids right leg...
P.S. Tried resetting the phone to factory setting, tried removing the battery.. No warranty for the phone. Bought it from Ebay India. Its the USA Sprint phone..
If cleaning does not help guess you will need a new one.

I did try cleaning it. The glass is absolutely flawless. So the main sensor / chip is defective i guess. I came across people facing, if not the same, but similar issues with their Android phones. I am not sure.
I hope I see someone who could manage to fix it or I'm totally out of luck. Have to live with that ass forever lol. Hope it doesnt expand any more!!!
you already stated you cleaned it ,so I will not beat that dead horse. If I were a betting man (I'm not really) I would say you have one of two issues.
1. (and I hope its not this) that phone was dropped and something broke or cracked internally.
2. Someone took it apart and lint or dust got between the lenses. Good Luck.
Althought #1 is possible, everyone I know with high end Smartphone treats them like 2 month old babies!

I dont think it has fallen... Its absolutely without any scratches or anything anywhere.. ANd the mark looks like a tiny butterfly! lol which is kinda transparent. I tried manually makin some marks on the camera lens with a blue marker pen, but that doesnt look the same at all. it just brings a blue hue (ink color) on the image. You cant see it as a mark (spot like in this case)..
And I'd like to mention one more thing. This thing, when I zoom it to the next level, it moves to the left and when I zoom it even more, it gets off the screen! (outside)Funny!
And about the dust thing, I really doubt..
Looks like dust on the sensor cant do ne thing unless u dismantle the whole camera module.

Strange I must say. We have Digital Zoom, not Optical. Is your phone Rooted with stock ROM?
Have you tried shaking it to see if the spot will move ??

I agree with farookh. If this were an SLR, I would say dust on the sensor and give you pointers on how to clean it. Since the sensor is internal here, you probably need to return it and get a new one versus voiding any warranty by trying it yourself.

Read his original post last sentence. No warranty, he got it from E-Bay in India.
OK. Let me tell a trick as former sprint store manager. I just used this to replace my epic so I know it still works.
If you have to phone active on your account call technical support about the phone. Tell them you are calling because a Rep at the store instructed you to call and do a "advanced exchange" on your device. Tell tech support that the store couldn't fix it and didn't have a replacement phone for you. Say they wouldn't exchange for new device and gave u a hard time. It is important to sound like your very unhappy. If they mention insurance, say your phone didn't qualify because the phone suffered no damage, it is a manufacturer defect as told to you by the repair Rep.
They may attempt to ask you what store u went to. Cut them off and say sir, I am not dealing with store again. U going in circles and feel everyone is spinning u and don't want to replace phone.
They will process advanced exchange and you swap phones through mail. They will send new one and you ship back old one.

If its dust and we only have digital zoom, shouldn't the spot still remain even after zooming? why does it move outwards
And I noticed 1 more thing yesterday... When I focus the camera (specifically that point!!) towards the sun, the spot just dissolves in the light and is not visible... Same is the case when I point it towards some very bright source.

Its stock ROM. I tried using a couple of camera apps, but still no luck. The spot appears on all. Do these apps use the same module used by the Default camera App? If yes, is there a way to reinstall the module.

Motorola India told me that they cant help me as this phone hasnt released here. They have no hardware and software support. They want me to co-ordinate with Motorola USA.
And when I lookup my phone's IMEI on motorola, I see that it is under warranty till Oct 2012...
Do you think I can get a replacement being here in India. I have the box, the manual and the handset.
I would snail mail moto and get a RMA or something in writing.

My phone committed suicide in the toilet (never put it near it, someone called me and it moved with the vibration and fell) . I was able to dry it, but there is a pink dot indicating this water damage, so I guess my guarantee is broken Everything seems to work well, except that people can't hear me when calling.
There are 2 mics on this phone, so I guess it is the main one under the buttons that got damaged. I can still use voice recognition apps like Google translator, but I guess that uses the second mic.
I have seen a piece for this phone in eBay that is the 3 buttons part, and I think this part includes the mic, so maybe I'm lucky and I can repair it, all I need is the service manual or some guide with pics, and advice to be sure about it.

Look and find red or pink colored papers in your phone.
One is right in back side battery.
If they are white, then all ok.
If red or pink..then your phone have some water damage.

Hello devrruti,
I've a similar problem on my neo and I was wondering if you managed to fix the mic problem and/or got the appropriate service manuals?
Problem description: Phone went in washing machine and now people can't hear me on a call. However, when I put the phone on 'speaker' mode then I can be heard! (Perhaps that's related to the presence of the two mics).
Thanks!
Same Problem with my phone too...

I finally bought it on a local store, I was about to fix it, it just requires patience and take a look at the pdf our videos about disassembling it. It is a tricky part to fix.
But my phone got stolen, so for the greedy person that didn't want to return it to me, it won't be very useful
I never got to try this solution. I still have this part, maybe if sending it is cheap I can sell it to you. If you are a bit skilled you could fix it yourself.
-sigh- almost 4 weeks of ownership and already having an issue. I just noticed these 2 highly visible white dots (to the left) just above of the capacitive buttons on my lcd. Only visible on white background though but i call tmo and instructed me to get to a local store so they can have one of the reps to look at it before replacement (awesome). I'll take a pic of it later prior to visiting the store.
sorry for the image quality but here it is. I tried taking a few shots of and this happened to be the best shot. What do you guys think caused this?
i dont see it. use ms paint to circle them with red. i seriously dont see anything

yeah its those 2 highly visible glares or dot when you look really close to it.. i've taken it using my digital camera (which obviously takes crappy image btw) and although it may be hard to see by others on the monitor - it is really visible in person.

it's been taken care of and the replacement device is on its way... thankfully it was still covered by warranty. Not sure why it wouldn't be since i just got the phone 4 weeks ago lol
which leads me to my next question.... In regards to warranty that is. Is it worth it to add a PHP (Premium Handset Protection) bundle? I mean, i remember when it used to be $5.99 (i believe) and i just noticed after ordering a replacement device - Tmo added that feature on my plan. Current cost is $7.99 which is still not bad but is it really worth it shelling out 8 bucks for something that can be prevented? I'm pretty anal when it comes to protecting my device (thanks to protective TPU case) and i hardly drop it by accident. However, "****" does happen to anyone when you least expect it. What do you guys think?
It can be worth it in case something happens like theft or out of warranty. But generally they offer you crap and try to say it's comparable.
Did they say you still have option for insurance? Generally unless you get it when the phone was new you can't add it on later

That's what i'm thinking but no, the rep never said anything or made any suggestions as far as adding it on my plan. I check my account frequently and that was the only time i discovered that it was added the day the replacement transaction was made. However, she did mention that even though my device was still covered by warranty, i was charged with $20 for device exchange since i didn't have the PHP feature added to my plan versus $5 bucks if i had it. -shrugs- eh its whatever. Atleast i know i'll have a brand spanking new device in a couple of days and HOPEFULLY.. yes.. hopefully... the annoying screen bleed on the bottom (normal build issue) with the device won't have it. lol
i just started a 2 year with tmobile and got the amaze for free. im wondering if this was a bad idea. i dont like the one phone because it lacks a dedicated camera button and some other stuff I dont like about it (its too thin actually). worst case I cancel for 200 and use this phone on straight talk until a better phone comes out I can start a new 2 year with.

that's a good point too... I too recently just switched from Individual plan to family plan (even though I'm the only one who's truly going to be using both devices) because i wanted this device (amaze) ever since its debut. Not a fan of One series either because of.. well.. a few things that i've come to expect on a high end device which lacks of... availability to expand storage, option to pull battery, dedicated cam shutter. To stay on point - isn't there a policy or something that after you cancelled your service there's a 1-3 month waiting period again before you can sign up???.. -shrugs-
hi,
i have just got my sk17i everythign was working fine, i had to replace my lcd/digitiser, buy my rear camera doesnt work,
front camera works fine, but when i try to take a photo its just blank, it wont work,
will i need a new camera module? its the lack camera with ribbon cable. i cant seem to find one anywhere,
ive repaired the phone using pc companion to get it back to stock but it still dont work, ive taken the phone apart and blown the connectors and had a look and it still wont work...
any ideas? i cant find a camera module for it anywhere online.
any help would be appreciated

When you had your lcd replaced,the phone was opened up by someone right.
The connection of the camera module is very delicate as it needs to be placed perfectly.
There must have been some disconnection while replacing the Digitizer!
So take it back to the guy who repaired it in the first place.
Goodluck! :good:
Before changing the digitizer if it was working then definitely u should take it to the person who fixed it & claim it was working fine. & ICS comes with alot new features than GB. Try it to feel the difference :good:
And yeah ICS on Mini Pro makes it way better! Try it bro and goodluck!
It was me who changed it, I carefully took it off the main board and it sat in a bag untill my new LCD arrived. Could it need a new one? Or maybe try cleaning it?

Ooooh.Hmm.No man don't get a new one yet!

cant get a replacement, cant seem to find one anywhere, its odd, because the front camera works fine, just when i try taje a photo all i get is a blank screen. ive looked at the camera module and connectors and it all seems ok. i cant find a replacement anywhere!! ahhhhhh!

As I already told,
Did you take proper protection against static electricity before you opened up your device!?
Was the phone properly grounded?
Did you discharge yourself before opening up the device?
Static electricity would have probably damaged your phone's circuits
