Hi everyone, I really need some help/suggestions..
I ordered a replacement usb flex cable, and my replacement part arrived today - but another more serious problem has arisen - one of the screws on the back of the Galaxy S2 won't budge and is now worn down after repeated attempts to remove it
All 6 of the other screws came out perfectly, but one screw in the bottom left of the phone is completely stuck, I tried so hard to remove it but it won't move or turn at all...what could be the reason? Is there glue in that area inside the phone that might've melted and re-stuck? It's terrible, I was waiting a month for my replacement part, and now I can't open it!! :crying:
Please help me if you have any advice!
Just curious, what kind of thought processes do you go through that results in you deciding it's a good idea to post the same thing twice in the forum ? I'm asking because try as I may, I just can't comprehend posting an issue twice (or more in some cases with other people) making it more likely to get a response/help with your issue.
Help me out ?
Yeah, that's a totally fair actually. I was going to come and post this here as a new thread, in the hopes that it'd get some attention from people who might possibly have had the same problem before. At the same time though I had somebody wanting an update on the situation in a thread about USB flex cables. I was lazy, and I just copy/pasted the text.
I'd be happy to remove this thread if you'd like - I just thought it'd be buried and go unnoticed if left in the thread about USB flex cables - and since it's such a rare problem which I really would like some help with, I thought it needed all the attention it could get.
Sorry for the double post..
Points for honesty Nah, leave this thread. If you have this closed & just rely on the post you made to that other guy's thread, fair chance it will get lost/buried & you won't get an answer.

Hi,
I would like to replace my wizard microfone. I already have a replacement one, but I'm having difficulties taking the old one out. I'm afraid of damaging something because it's really sticky and I don't know if it is glued or if it's welded.
Can you help to discove how to remove the old mic?
Thanks.
Best regards,
hsousa
Nevermind
Nevermind,
I see i'll get no help here.
Thanks for nothing.
I don't think there are a lot of people who have replaced their mics. Don't take it personally.
I swear...what is it with people and getting pissed off when a community of VOLUNTEERS doesnt or cant solve their problem? Sheesh.....
I have to have my tablet either repaired or replaced. Has anyone does this??
I am trying to find out how long it takes, and was it a new tablet or a refurb?
I haven't actually seen anybody report doing this - most people who had early issues just brought their tablets back to the retailer. Now that we're past return period for a bunch of us, I guess somebody's going to have to figure out how the process works.
I have a broken G Tab right now (mini-USB port connector fell off the mainboard) so I'd be curious to hear what you learn. I bought another tablet, but if you can get it warranty-repaired that would be a nice option.
Actually they are going to. I got a RMA number a fedex label sent to me VIA
email, and they said once sent to them, it would take 10 to 14 days to send
out a new one. I asked if it would be a new or refurb, he did say new. I just
thought I would post asking if anyone has done this, just to be sure.
Thank you for taking the time to post this. What is broken on yours?
Please let us know how your experience goes. I hope it is quick. 10 days sounds reasonable to me.

Dust under screen. The touch screen seems weird to.
there is also the very shady option of buyin a new gtab, swapping it out with ur broken one and returning that..
So how'd it go? I'm about to send mine in but I'm hesitant because I use it for school.
Just sent mine in. Will post updates so other people learn from my experience.
Nice on the phone, but not helpful in the end. Sent my Gtablet to fix broken glass top, and they ended up sending it back to me without replacing it or fixing it in any way. They said it wasn't covered by the warranty.
Still looking for a way to replace it myself.. Tablet works, just hard to see anything with all the cracks everywhere in the glass.
As much as I love my Gtablet, Viewsonic could learn a thing or two about better warranties. Have had screen issues with my Nexus One and other devices and always had great support and got my stuff fixed.
I got an RMA number. The guy said he'd send in a new one. I told him specifically that I don't want another person's tablet. Either the same one, or brand new.
The problem with mine is that a particular off-white color is not displaying properly, and being substituted by cyan.
... You can imagine what I see when look at the Viewsonic and G-tablet intro screen upon boot up.... All cyan with weird vertical lines encircled with the logos...
Thank goodness I have 2 tablets to work with . The ****ty thing is that I have to drive across the border to ship it. One of the few cons of being a Canadian...
in last 2 years i owned bold 9700, HD2 and now sensation.
unfortunately while trying to clean dust out of the screen i damaged it it was already dropped and leaking on the corner and i separated it even more.
i havent been up to date on cell phones for last year or so
and asking your advice because i do not want to make same mistake like buying this stupid sensation phone with its issues
(camera red color and dust under screen etc)
can anyone that knows more than me about the following phones give me a quick list of major defects that i should look for ?
im planning to get the new phone this saturday and dont have any time to do research since im pretty busy at work..
here are the phones from tmobile that i was eyeballing today.
1 htc amaze how well is it built looked a bit heavy
2 tmo G2X
3 samsung exhibit 2
4 samsung galaxy s2 screen is big but resolution is not so big
can someone post pictures from following phones also? unless theres a thread with pictures i want to see quality the camera on those.
I experienced the "dust under the screen" issue with the MT4G, which I loved, but the dust made me exchange the phone 5 times
I can tell you Samsung phones don't have that problem because they fuse the screen so nothing can get it.. a HUGE plus to me
The T-Mobile Galaxy S2 had been the best phone I have ever owned by far.. and the screen outclasses anything on the market IMO.. I've held my phone next to the iPhone 4S, both playing Cut the Rope, and it almost made my friend throw his phone because he was sure the iPhone had the best screen.. it wasn't even close, the colors, the blacks, everything was so much cleaner on the S2
You will hear complaints about every phone out there, including the S2, but I promise you won't be disappointed, I wouldn't trade this phone for the new Nexus, iPhone, nada
Galaxy S2 all the way.
Have you considered the Samsung Galaxy Note? I just got it one month ago - and I just think its a unique device - works really well as a phone and a tablet, which many people doubted, s pen with s memo allows me to scribble when I am feeling creative/have ideas which are not meant just for typing etc. I do hope they bring ICS to it, which is optimized and not slowed down. You could consider this as well. I know people have S2 and are happy with it, but somehow I thought Note would make the owner feel extra special Hope this helps?
would be nice but its not available through T-mobile.
No offence m8 but you really need to go and put some effort into this one yourself. Its kind of silly to ask people who you don't know and who don't know you to decide which phone is right for you.
You need to go google this sh*t.
get a list of the phones spec.
find 2-3 review of each one and read it all.
then once you have an idea of the difference.
Cross ref what you've found out with whats
1:Essential
2:important
3:Favoured
4:a bonus feature
Than it will become very clear which one is best for you.
Asking on a forum is just plain lazy, and likely to leave you open to other peoples all too common 'mine rewls' mentality, you need to answer this one yourself m8.
no offence m8 but i didnt have time to do any of that, usually i do research but i found out about the sale a day before it so thanks for advice broski.
i listed the phones i was interested in and thats about how much time i had is to check the specs on the phones available through tmobile. other than that i didnt have time to go around forums and dig through 1000s of BS useless posts to try to locate the defects and shortcomings of every phone...
but unfortunately i ended up not upgrading anyting cuz its not worth it.
Whaaaa? Its always a good time to upgrade :]

the recent tmobile "promotion" was a big fail.
i went to the store and was told that there will be no change in my plan. and i get a the money back once i send the rebate.
to find out that i still have to pay full price for the phone over 20 month period...
that is not a damn promotion its a trick..
why the hell would anyone do that.
you get stuck with this company for 2 years AND you still have to pay full price on the phone.
i can walk in any day and buy that phone with my credit card instead and make payments on it and not have to be binded by 2 year contract...

lol .......... if you'd actually bothered to try it you'd have found everything in a couple of hours max!!!
Whats better spending some time solving your own procurement issues. After all you know what you need want and desire better than anyone else.
OR
Begging the opinions of other people who don't know you, and whos soundness of advice you have no idea about on a website.
Methinks your method indicates how committed to the venture you where, the outcome speaks volumes
cool thanks lol one person actually tried to help.
what did you not understand i didnt have time to do any research past what little searching i did...

ROFLOL ......... yeah but you had plenty of time to wait 5 days whilst you expected others to do your legwork for you
Don't wanna make this personal but your just not getting it
"One person helped"?? No m8 one person tossed you a bone ...... since you where begging, probably just bigging up whatever he owns. Everyone else's response (lack of, should tell you a lot about attitudes to posts like this. Where OP clearly states "I can't be arsed doing what i'd like you chumps to do for me".
Best advice you got was from me, your best at deciding what you need not someone else. Amazes me anyone is so lazy that they would rather take dubious advice from a forum than spend 2-3 hours educating themselves.
How old are you ......... seriously you a teen ???
Galaxy s 2 is good screen is great and lots of roms for it.
ROFLOL BRAH. because sale is over... dont need your help stop helping...
i was hoping that someone could throw some details about the phones i listed, you cant read good can you?.
your advice was not worth any more than a piece of doog poop on a sidewalk.
now that i had more time i did some more research and know more about the phones. but you obviously do not get it. and just have to have the last word even if its not relaed to the topic...
u know if soemone needs help quick i give them an answer and then we figure out if he was lazy or not...
i hope your car breaks down and you go and ask on some automotive forums for help and get same responce as you gave me "its your car you should know whats best for it BRAH!!!"
but maybe you still dont get it..
i found out about the sale a day before the sale. you follow?
i work all day.. still with me?
i was busy in teh evening and couldnt do much research. still there?
next day i was working as well and didnt have time to sit research on teh internets instead of working. after work i went to the tmobile store...
i asked if someone could give me a quick rundown of the common problems of the phones i listed... nothing more.
because i dont know how much clearer i can state my question.
"can anyone that knows more than me about the following phones give me a quick list of major defects "
anyway this thread can be deleted since it turned into useless thread.
Well thats what happens when you post a useless question.

cool another helper thanks for your help lol
so I was going to clean my lcd,and when I was taking the phone apart,I believe I broke some pins on the motherboard for the cam, because now my cam don't wanna work anymore. could someone tell me if this is fix able or if your interested in buying it. the phone is in pretty good shape just some wear and tear,the screen is in perfect cond, other besides the cam it fine..thanks
can upload some pics later if anyone needs them.
Pics of the broken parts would help. However, if you broke something on the motherboard, there is a 99.9% chance you won't be able to fix it. These motherboards aren't made to be fixed, and the solder points are so small you won't be able to repair it without some VERY expensive equipment.

Hello everybody,
I purchased RN 7 Pro on very first sale on flipkart , after using it for about 1 month I noticed few dirt particles under camera flash glass.
Initially I ignored it , but it kept growing day by day. While xiaomi bragged how sealed shut this phone is I didn't expect thing like this to happen.
and by the way my phone was very carefully used without a case.
So , Am I alone with this issue or anyone else is facing it too ??
Kindly check yours and let me know.
Thank You

well this was Guides , News & "Discussion" section.
I thought a conversation about manufacturing defect comes under discussion. maybe Real Life Reviews would have been better, will keep it in mind for future.
and by the way thanks for checking on everyone's devices for letting me know it's just me. must have been a monumental task.

Yeah sure, the Q&A section exists for a reason, but people like you clutter this section..Users looking for Guides are instead met with posts like yours which don't help them in any manner whatsoever.
Seriously Bruh? This issue seems to be quite specific to you, and noone has reported anything of such sort.
Maybe if you knew how to access the forum correctly you would have figured that out.
