Hi Guys
So, I had/have this very little insignificant problem (compared to what I have now) about my Amaze not connecting to my PC properly
So, I decided, since I have had some experience in disassambling "things", I thought I'd take a look inside and see if my USB port in the phone wasnt broken, fortunately it wasn't...
However I didnt think of testing another cable(very, very stupid of me), so I concluded that it was my cable ( i found that out by testing another cable only AFTER I had disassembled it)
But thats only where my troubles started, since I have had some experience on taking things apart I figured it wasnt a biggy but when I put everything together again:
Imagine this filling up the whole Screen (without the mouse cursor of course)

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, the device booted u fine, I could adjust the volume and actually hear the volume been adjusted, etc.
But the screen showed those pixels(I do not know what you call it when that happens, screen pixelating???)
The only thing I could think of is,
Where the black dot is, I thought it was a clamp so I (by accident of course) broke a piece of plastic off revealing metal wires, but the area of the proken off pice is no larger thean the middle of a pin head
I tried various ways, trying to figure out what caused this but I have no idea
btw. I also updated my 4Ext recovery to 1.x..x rc9 (latest release and did no restart after)
I am not sure what happened but ill probably pull an all nighter, trying to fix it (in some or other way)
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
p.s., please dont tell me Im an idiot for doing that, I know I am...it cost me $260...!

Ok I did a quick search on the forum and I couldn't seem to find if anybody else had this problem.
I recently purchased a used HTC Qtek 8500 from eXpansys / Mobileplanet.
The only problem I have with the phone is that the external screen is white and won't change to anything else no matter what settings I make the change too. Obviously the screen is getting power to it but I don't have any other display other then just a white screen. See attached picture
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try a hard reset
push and release the power button, then quickly push and hold the left and right soft keys ( the buttons over the green and red buttons) when instructed press "0".
may or may not work, but worth a shot.
you may even consider opening the phone and reseating the connector of the display.. this happened a week ago to my keypad.. when it was not working.. and then after trying alot.. i noticed that when i pressed 4 hard i use to get the light.. just opened 2 screw's and removed the cable and put it back.. as good as new
Tried a hard reset as suggested.
Even tried flashing another ROM.
No difference still has the External White Screen. Anybody else have any ideas?
Bad news .... mine has the same behaviour and warranty service told me that was the lcd broken... so no warranty repair.
...although my phone has not even a little sign!!!!!
Will try to open it with the help of this guide when the phone come back from repair center.
I'll let you know
Hi
My phone is starting to get the dreaded connection problem with the usb port. Currently I have to find an angle where it will actually charge it. Its getting quite annoying now and I noticed that its a common issue and its generally due to poor soldering. I was wondering whether its possible to fix it yourself as my phone has a number of cosmetic blemish's which will cause SE to ***** about how its my fault etc. As my lecturer would say they are "ensuring that the **** falls on someone elses head". Anyway it would be handy if someone could highlight where to solder exactly by just circling it in a set of pictures. Here is a disassembly guide you could use.
Thanks for any responses and I'm sorry if this has been posted before.
n.b. my lecturer was talking about ensuring your code has enough validation etc to ensure that the program doesn't fail as a result of poor programming. I realise that the comment may seem quite dodgy out of context when he was describing defensive programming.
This post might not be much help, but I suppose it'll get the gears turning.
Well, I took a look at it and, at least in my X10, I have some red looking hardened glue blocking the connections to the main board of my USB port, so I can't be very specific here. Though, I imagine you'd have to take this glue out and there should be probably 2 connectors that link it to the main board.

Out of the blue, for NO apparant reason, my display screen is suddenly full of "snow". The phone itself is working properly because I have the HDMI out cable and I can see everything working properly when I use my TV as an external display. While using the HDMI/external display, the touch-responsiveness is normal.
I did do one hard/factory reset, that did't fix anything. I get a similar screen when the phone is in the OFF position and charging (when you should normally just see the picture of a green charging battery icon.
I know this looks like the symptom of an impact or some other physical damage, but I take SUPER good care of all of my devices and there is no way that I caused any damage to it. Earlier today, I was using the phone and all was well then I put the phone in my pocket. About 3 mintues later, I pull it out of my pocket and this is what I see!
Has anyone seen anything like this? I bought this phone about 6 months ago from expansys-usa, so I assume it's under warranty, but if there's ANYTHING I can do here myself, I'd rather take care of it here.
I'm a fairly advanced ROM flasher and am pretty comfortable taking phones apart and getting them back together, but I don't want to open this one up if it will void my warranty with expansys/Samsung.
I welcome help/advice/thoughts.

Best thing for you to do if you've got warranty is flash a stock from specific to your product code like you got it. delete everything on your SD card related to Modding and get a replacement for your warranty. Looks like hardware problems

Good Day All,
I am in a bit of a predicament. On Saturday, I had my phone in hand and heard a *crack* (I can only suppose my subconscious telekinetic powers were left on), looked down and noticed that there was a somewhat small crack about 1.5 inches up from the back capacitive button all the way across to the home cap button. Basically making any key presses in that lower region of my screen and cap buttons unusable.
I just watched the YouTube tear down video and I'm curious as to if I purchase the Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly(See pics below) will this cover everything that I need for the replacement?

I found a US supplier on eBay with it for $170.99 with a decent ship time (4 business days).
--I have noticed that Most of the non-ebay suppliers are out of stock on the digitizer all together.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.
can't u just take it to a fixer it's the safest way if ur nervous

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because the local "fixers" are gonna want to charge a markup on the actual screen/assembly while still adding on for repairing the damage. Versus actually buying the part myself and giving it to them to fix(Which is also a probably option).
Have you contacted LG. I heard they do the repairs too. It's obviously much safer and I think cheaper.

I have an old Note 5 lying around with a cracked screen. Not worth using except as a backup, not worth selling. I had a great idea: use it as a webcam!
I downloaded droidcam, used it a few times, forgot all about it. Until yesterday.
I turned on the phone and the screen was as in the attachment. I used Android Control to mirror the screen to my PC (effortlessly) and make sure the phone was actually working. I figured that the last time I used the phone, I had actually left the phone connected to droidcam for a long time (forgot about it) and it may have done something to the display driver or some such. No biggie, I'll just reflash, maybe it'll solve the problem, maybe not.
After some struggle, got the phone into download mode and used Odin to attempt to flash 3 different firmwares, all for my SM-920 XSG (UAE firmware). The first time it made it all the way to the end when it failed to write. The other two fail early on. I even attempted to flash a PIT, which worked and then everything failed after just as fast as before the PIT flashing.
So, anyone have any idea what's wrong with the phone's screen? It was working before and literally had been left alone on a table undisturbed. Also, it would be nice to unbrick the phone, so that I can donate it (as a working phone sans screen) or at least try to sell it online to someone who would fix the screen (or a local shop).
You don't tell me nevermind
