Hi guys, I had no idea where else to post this.
My phone fell off, and althougth the screen was intact, the lcd broke and I had to replace it.
So, after the replacement, now the vibration is softer, and kind of sounds lower as well.
Any ideas on how to fix it myself without taking it back to the people who fixed it (because it was a pain to have my phone back) or any other place.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks, but is not that.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the settings were untouched.
It's all to the maximum.

I'm guessing in the service menu there is a calibration for it, but no idea at the moment how to get there, will have a look around is I get time

I just checked the service menu and you can only test the different features of the phone. No calibration available.
I tested the vibration and is softer than it used to be.
I guess they messed it up when they replaced the screen.

Every few minutes when i'm using the phone the screen will lock up. The screen will either go back being responsive in about 30 seconds but it is a big irritation. I bought this phone secondhand completely stock and it exhibits this problem. Has anyone encountered this problem before and if you have how did you fix it?

What color is the sticker under the battery cover?
There isn't a sticker.

That its a clear indication the phone was dropped in some sort of liquid by the previous owner. There should be a small sticker inside - white means everything is ok and pink means it was dropped in liquid. Looks like someone was trying to hide something by removing it.
Well that sucks. Anything that I can do to fix the phone that does not involve the original owner?

I've heard you can get a replacement from samsung but I'm afraid I don't gave any helpful details that would help. You could try calling tmobile and asking to speak to a customer loyalty rep. Not sure if it will help but is worth a shot.
i cracked my gs2 screen at gym today *crying*
i turn it on the buttons light up but screen dont

just want to know
i didnt notice the screen at gym as the music was playing

Then yes, it works, it's just the screen. The OS starts up properly and you are able to interact with it without the screen.
I don't think warranty would cover the screen, probably a cost to get it fixed is required.
If you're lucky, they may replace your phone, but in most cases, they're not likely to do so.

the part i was worried about was the whole screen was black

i hope they dont charge me too much for screen
on google they range from 130$-250$

The screen and the glass are fused together, thats why its that expensive online. You can't replace them individually.
that sucks its about 1/5 the price of the phone
well thanks for the help

shop around buddy. you might find someone who will do that half the price... try with Samsung Service..Pretty sure they would give you a quotation or something..Good luck and next time be careful.
The panel will just sporadically begin to look very oversaturated and look like this:

I got nothing. Any thoughts of anything I can do before I go return it?

Not sure what your pointing out with that image, but if your talking about the ghosting .. where the icons are still slightly visable after moving to a flat background colour then its pretty normal...
Image persistence like that after less that five minutes is not normal.
Power saving mode I'm guessing? And you need a better camera -.-"
Make a copy of your home screen by long pressing the previous app button in the task bar and post that.

Balanced; when it does it, I do a cold boot and it's still there. And the camera? For a phone it's way up there.

Its normal on the transformer prime and the transformer ...
You wont even see it when using it normally.
If its bugging you, take it back, but i can assure you its pretty normal as far as i'm concerned.

I dunno, my Transformer never did anything like this.
I think the TFP saw what phone you were using and decided it didn't like you anymore. On a serious note that amount of screen burn isn't normal as mine doesn't do it at all. I know that i had two bright spots on my tab as if an led back light was too close to the screen and I thought I could live with it. 2 months later I sent it in last week for RMA I just couldn't deal with it. Since you just got it I would suggest an exchange at place of purchase before going to the RMA department which is a big PITA as you will see from some other threads.
Oh this certainly exists. If you don't see it, you need your eyes checked. I just ignore it, doesn't effect my experience.
I've only had an issue like this sometimes, but the stuff from the previous screen would go away in a few seconds. I'm not sure why yours is there for 5 minutes
Thanks for your input guys, took it back this morning. Walked out with an Acer A200 which is... tolerable I guess... and cheap.
all IPS panels ghost..
My S3 fell out of my hand and hit the floor on its corner. When i turned it on again the screen was all green and the touch no longer worked. Now when i turn it on nothing shows up and the screen stays black. I was thinking of repairing it myself, so would i need to just buy a new screen or more?

If you use that you must realise that separating the glass from the digitizer is a very tricky fiddly hit and miss process where you are more likely to break than mend in all honesty
I think that the screen is broken too. Because you said that the screen was black after turning it on. Think u need a new display + digitizer. They sell them on ebay for 200 dollar. It's expensive I know but I don't think there's an other option.

Ok, thanks so much for the help everyone!
and there's no guarantee that the screen is the only thing broken.

Hi to everybody,
Two months after to buy my Z2, I made the mistake to put my phone on my legs and it fell. Result: my screen has crashed
I sent it to repair and the technical support changed my screen,
All is now working fine, less the "double tap to wake" option.
I installed the last update to know if i could fixed it, but it still no working.
Any one know if is the double tap managed by hardware? (the screen maybe?)
Thank you so much!!
Ps: Sorry for my english
This feature has never really worked relatively well for me anyway
While sometimes it works other times I find myself tapping the screen repeatedly with no effect
Not sure about your issue as if the touch screen is working then I can't see any reason why the touch shouldn't work as well as it did previously unless it's a cheap replacement not an OEM
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app

I sent my phone to official technical support in Portugal, so in theory the screen is OEM
Thanks for answer

Might sound like a stupid question but have u enabled the double tap to wake in the settings?
Is not a stupid question, but yes, I have the option enabled

Have you tried doing a factory reset? Maybe it will help. This function is kernel related so it should work, unless the screen is not like the original one. Just saying.
No I didn't.. I only installed the last update by Flashtools

I was wondering, does the glove mode work? Does it show a purple circle when your finger is close to the screen?

Well that means your screen should be okay. I tried tap waking my Z2 and it responded every single time, with really fast taps and slow taps, so something is definitely wrong with yours. Problem is I can`t tell what...
Well.. I hope that with Lollipop it will be solve..
Tip with this matter, you have to "knock" on the exactly the same spot both times. Then it works much better.
No way [emoji17]..
I tapped for 10 times consecutively but nothing...
