Hey guys, few days ago i noticed something odd about the touch screen..
The bottom - left corner of the screen is "out" so i can feel it with my finger (and if you look on the side of the phone you can see that the corner comes out a bit) and the right side of the screen goes goes in, like its crooked.
how can i correct this ?
Take it back to the shop.

I need through drive 2 cities for that plus i am running the Austrailian ftf while i live in Israel...anyway to do it by myself ?
It sounds like a manufacturer defect, so it needs to go back, its easy enough to revert to original firmware.
Diy would most likely involve opening up the phone which will void your warranty.

ok, thanks.
Any chance you know where to get Israeli .ftf for gb or ics ? or any other way to revert back ?
p.s. its less then 1mm, are you sure that they will do smt and not say that its not a defect ? ?

Alright my sister got a sgs2 about 2 months ago, now I went to help her with something (because I have an sgs2 too and she's bloody unless with it), I noticed a scratch on the screen, its only small and isn't very deep but it annoys me the fact that she bought this phone and now she's bloody scratched it! Will she be able to get the screen fixed or replaced or something for free? It isn't bothering her son doubt she'll pay. Cheers.

Can you see the scratch when using the phone or just when you literally search it?
If you have to search it, then I have good news for you.
I have the same and fixed it with a screen-protector. You won't be able to see the scratch anymore.

If it's just a hairline then buy a decent screen protector and it won't show. Worked for me.

Feeling now like I have married a beautiful wife but she never stops nagging. ( ok I have and she doesn't just incase she reads this >:~} )
Had the yellowish tint and it was getting it worse then sent it off to Sony came back a month later with ICS installed but nfc broken and I use it all the time and getting FC even using contacts aaarrrrrggghhh if it goes back to them I may just give up and jump ship grrrrr
6 reboots and countless FC's and gave up installing the rest of my daily needed app's that never gave trouble before.
Just a *****ing post.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
You can try installing ICS again using SEUS.. It may help
Was debating about that, or could get a hammer to it >:~}
But would not bring much satisfaction cause one blow and its done!!!
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
just calm down and breathe, take a step back and youll see things much clearer.
Things like this can sometimes be easily fixed with one click of a button. Repair it with SUS.:fingers-crossed:
Just try repair using PcC or SUS, many issue can be fixed but just give it a go mate Gud luck
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Oh brought back to stock few times and did a Sus as well but before did that went into config and this forced the nfc which is good but not the proximity which is real bad.
So now thinking of slow painful death on the phone drip of acid in the jack slot may do it >:~}

NFC has issues on the stock Roms. Try a custom Rom and see if it works better or even drop back to gb. Stock ice is buggy.
Debating about that but bootloader is locked so can't bring it back grrrr

You can root and install roms on locked bootloader. NFC is fixed for me in mooded ICS.

You can use flashtool to downgrade even with locked booyloader.

True, and not that it brothers me rooting and fixing, but really annoys me that we spend plenty of money like lemmings on devices that are really below standard.
It its usually the second version of all manufactures devices that the bugs are ironed out.
So now have to spend hours of my time fixing the crap that should not have been there in the first place. Companies are now out sourcing the support for their devices to the crowd. If only they would reduce their prices to match the poor support!

When I shake my phone or tap the top of the phone I clearly hear something rattling.
The thing that annoys me the most is that it will rattle too if the phone vibrates.
I'm not sure if it's getting worse but I do think it is worse then months ago.
Can people confirm this on their phone too?
Should I claim my warranty to get it repaired?
Also, and this is probably a really dumb question, I screwed some of the bolts a little bit tighter thinking that might help (which it didn't). That should not affect my warranty in any way, right?
The rattling sound did indeed get worse but I found that that was the power button which is a bit loose now.
Anyone any word on how it would affect my warranty?
Unless you can prove its not due to wear & tear, it's difficult to get warranty for it. Anyway, try send it back and see what they going to say to you.

Thanks for the reply but thats not really what I meant. I meant that if I should return it to the store to claim my warranty for any reason, would it mind that I fastened my screws?

I don't think they will notice the screws.

So just got my phone back from Samsung after they replaced the screen. The menu button is very dim and the search button is dim compared to the middle two buttons. I was going to call Samsung but wondered if it may be an easy fix that I could do on my own instead of waiting another week to get it fixed. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Just called Samsung and they want me to send it back for repair. I don't know if its worth it, will b third time sending it to them...why can't they fix it right the firs time?!

Anyone have any ideas
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Sorry. It looks like sending it back to them will be the only way to fix it that doesn't take cash out of your pocket. As for why they can't get it right? Most likely because it is a low paid repair tech just following a shop manual.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yeah, I ended up sending it to them today. I got next day air shipping and the guy expedited the process for me for the hasal for no charge at all since its their fault. Hopefully, I get it back with no problems.

You went as far as to replace hardware before trying a software fix first?

You reflashed the same Rom, did you try another,
Preferably with a different kernel?
Hardware oddities Luke that point right at either the kernel or the hardware itself.. you've replaced the hardware.

The kernel might be the couse??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
The kernel is the bridge between the hardware and the operating system... if that gap isn't bridged the hardware won't function.

So if i flash the 4aces kernel u think is good or should i go stock kernel?

Ionno
As long as it's different.. it's a variable.
Although if I personally swapped hardware I would flash to stock and test it out before going back to a custom set up.

Are the solder points to the camera connection on the board intact? Or did you notice anything weird while the device was apart?

I ordered a replacement part for only $5.99 + shipping. You can find the part here: Witrigs. com Given the price, I suggest you order two. I don't recall the shipping, but it wasn't expensive. Delivery was around 7 days to Canada (from Hong Kong). Website is definitely legit. Maybe add some other parts to your order, if you feel so inclined.
