its LCD was cracked
I tried to charge it and try to turn it on
I saw glowing button at bottom of my phone but after that I was not able to turn it own
I want to repair it by my own please help me??

No chance. If you have to ask, you won't be repairing it on your own. Why ? If you had the necessary knowledge/skills, you'd be resourceful enough to have already found out the extra info you might need.
Take it to someone who knows what they're doing, or if you fancy rendering the phone permanently unusable, search for the service manuals; they've been posted here before & a Google search should turn them up.

i think i can do this on my own under proper instructions

So find the service manuals & have a go at it...

can any told me it just light up once

How do you honestly expect anyone here to diagnose a phone that's been runover by a car without having the phone in front of them ? Be prepared to be very disappointed. You also just proved my suggestion that you're not capable of fixing it with that post of yours; save yourself time/grief & take it to someone skilled in repairing phones. Or sit here in this thread expecting the impossible for days/weeks/whatever *shrugs*

if it was crushed by nissan gt-r then you're screwed

Phone not sliding properly

While this isn't a strictly dev related question, this is the best x10mp forum online, so I'm asking here
My phone is about 3 months old, and today, suddenly, my phone started to have a problem when sliding open and closed. It feels as though there is a lot of extra friction happening somewhere with the slide mechanism. This happens when both opening and closing.
Has anyone had a similar experience with their phone, or have any idea how to fix it?
I assume Sony has a one year or so hardware warranty. I'll give them a call and see what they say about it.
Thanks for any suggestions!
i dnt have any problem bt with my other frends like around all 4 of the same phones like mine have the problems its like all four fnes were different they didn feel the same some felt light sum felt heavy bt yeah i suggest u call se
maybe that's a factory defect? although I'm not sure. But yea, just go see SE you got warranty
mm. apparently their customer service in taiwan isn't so great. all you can do is leave a number and they say theyll get back to you. ill keep this thread updated in case anyone is interested.
do walk-in
the service center address isnt listed on their website. anyone know the service center address in taipei?
It's under warranty, so back up everything (apps, settings etc) to your SD card, and try to convince them to swap it in store, or they may take a looong time to fix.

This might help if you want to pull it apart yourself - I've pulled mine down to replace a screen, and it was great fun, though scary at first. Just watch the little ribbon cable clamps - make sure you release them (hard to see) before you go pulling cables out.
It's such an impressive bit of harware all squeezed in like that. I hate those monster 4" smartphones - this thing is clever.

thanks for the link. ill take my phone to the service center. i actually got through to someone on the chinese menu of the service center hotline. it only took me 10 minutes for them to give me the address of the place! haha

Accessory not supported (headset)

Hi!
I know this topic has been written about countless times! I know this because I've read most of these threads (atleast the ones I could find), but my case seems to be different..
Last year, all of a sudden, I couldn't use my stock SE headphones. It seems that when I dropped the phone in the snow, something happened.
Now, I can use any kind of headset once, every 24 hours or so... If I take them out, and then put them in again, I get a pop-up telling me the accessory is not supported.
I tried changing the ROM, hoping it would work (using miniCM7pro atm), but I still got the same problem. I really don't like the fact of turning the phone in for a repair since I had to wait 3 months when I turned in my charger that stopped working all of a sudden..
So I'm wondering... Is there any other tweak/ solution or anything that I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance,

That looks like hardware related problem. i hope someone here will come up with some answer for this....
I don't think there is an easy fix for what you're experiencing. but here's a few steps you could take.
Make sure there is nothing in the headphone jack that shouldn't be in there (bits of dirt/grit)
Make sure none of the contacts appear damaged. There should be 4 contact points inside the jack socket (exluding headset controls)
but i think the phone will ultimately need to be sent for repair

Hi! And thanks for your replies,
I'm not quite sure how I'm able to see the fourth one, since it's way too deep down, but I can see three of them.
Even if it will ultimately need to be sent for repair, I want to do my best to try and fix it before I send it in, since I really hate the thought of sending it in and then wait for three months. I'd rather buy an mp3 player, or and iPod or something in that case.

That is why we call it "Sorry Ericsson" for some reason! (just kidding)
They will send it to you as soon as the parts arrive....dont worry. better you replace or repair it before it does a big problem.
Good luck!

Haha!
I'll see what I'll do. Worst case scenario, I'll re-install the original ROM and un-root, and then send it in. But I do want to try and fix it myself first.
Got one more year on my warranty, so time's not a real problem if I don't succeed..
Nanashidri,
at least you considered to unroot and go to stock before giving it.
i just gave it so those dummies at SE centers so they will go crazy seeing me running 2.3.7 on this phone, and they did go psycho! i indeed was laughing cause they started asking me silly questions, "how did you get this in this phone" and such questions.
i simply answered as i was roaming the internet and i did what you could not do....and they where dumb after that....funny funny (i came home and couldnt resist laughing at this matter).
my phone had camera function and my phone restarts after using it. so it was a hardware problem but they never understood it. in retaliation they just flashed the original 2.1. and for two weeks they still never got it right. i went inside the engineers room and recreated the problem. their eyes opened and tubelights switched on in their heads. at last they changed the main board and now it works!! see?
funny things happen....so dont worry. get yours changed when you still have warranty.
keep it up bro!
And this sorry ericsson is going better as "SONY" from next year! no more ericsson!

[Q] My Galaxy i9100 is hard Bricked, any help?

Hello
This is my first thread, so first of all I want to apologize for my ignorance because i need to be honest with you guys is that i don´t really know much about this.
Thing is I bought this Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 and it had jelly bean installed, problem with the phone is that altough it was working fine in software terms (going into the internet, using the instant messaging services and social networks and so on) the camera had terrible lags, it just crashed everytime i tried to use it, so I decided I needed to go backwards, meaning I wanted to flash an older version of android to this phone, now here´s what happened
1.- I looked online for several websites including this one, and found out i needed the ROM, which i downloaded from sammobile (sorry i´m not sure if i´m allowed to say the source here it is another website), it was I9100UHLPP_I9100UHLPG_I9100UWALP5_HOME.tar.md5 for dominican republic.
2.- also read i needed the PIT, so i got it and used the omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit.
3.- Followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814801
Now here´s the problem, i succesfully placed the phone in download mode, and it got recognized by odin, but it failed when flashing, the phone got stuck into download mode, no activity was shown on Odin or the phone whatsoever, so i tried the most STUPID solution you can think after some time scratching my head without knowing what to do, I removed the battery.
Now the phone is not responsive at all, i plug the charger and it doesn´t show anything, use the 3 buttons and it doesn´t go to download mode, won´t come on, but it does get very warm on the camera area when plugged to charge.
I´ve read several threads of bricked galaxy phones but I wasn´t sure of any of the solutions posted, so I decided to ask directly miself, I know I posibly made some mistakes here, and I would really appreciate your help guys.
Before any of you asks me this, i don´t have a JIG so i haven´t tried that (as i said i´m kind of a newbbie with all this)
Service centre or maybe JTAG repair by 3rd party repairer. If you're lucky service centre won't notice/won't be able to tell you've borked it & repair it under warranty. If they don't get in touch with a couple of JTAG repairers (Google) & compare the cost with what Samsung/authorised repairer want to charge your to repair it.
Bricked is bricked. Nothing anyone here can tell you that's going to fix it given you're getting nothing out of the phone.

The phone has no warranty so i´m F... up lol
OK. In that case, get in touch with these guys (as I said in my PP, if you do a Google search you'll find others. You might even find one near you if you ask at local mobile repair shops).
If the phone can be JTAG'd (and you're only going to find out if someone who does them has a look), it will be much cheaper than paying a Samsung service centre/authorised repairer to fix it.
I´m on it already.

I already got in touch with a local 3rd party repair centre, they say it varies between 15-90 dollars to get this fixed depending on how bad it is, that is assuming it can be JTAGed, if it can be, i´ll let you guys know the information for the colleagues in Dominican Republic so they know, if not, then I guess I just got myself a very expensive paperweight :crying:
Good News!
My Galaxy SII i9100 is alive, i took it to this place and the JTAGed it and it works fine now, I still complain a little about the camera lags but is much better than before.
Should I post the information of the repair centre?
is that allowed?
Yep, do. Someone else might find it useful at some point.

[Q] Indentifying Mainboard Chip (pic)

Hi, bit of a tricky one this.. the picture attached is supposed be my water damaged SGS2 mainboard - what a mess
(backstory)
I've since had the phone back from the service centre, looking nothing like that, so the engineer probably cleaned it up right? which is nice of him.. problem is:
[Q] Which chip on the mainboard is that? - I know, it's not much to go from, but I can not find that damage anywhere on my mainboard! Weird. I'm not an expert though so I have my doubts..
I thought maybe 1) I need a magnifying glass to see this? (I find that hard to believe when I look at the picture!) or 2) It's under an EMI shield or something, which doesn't seem right to me either.
Any advice appreciated! TIA
+ apologies if I broke any forum rules; I tried but I probably failed ;(
F knows,but I put a link up yesterday for the service manual.Download it and view it on a pc.Check my recent posts and youll get the hotfile link.
was
Doesn't really help, even looking directly at the board is hard enough, but thanks. You'd think you'd see the damage with the naked eye though, right?

[Q] Lost volume in right channel

Hi All
I tried to find the answer, in vain.
For the last few weeks the volume of the right channel has nearly disappeared. I have 95% on the left and 5% on the right.
I use the original software in it.
I was looking for a balance button but can't see any.
The warranty run out two weeks ago.
Any thing I could do to restore its volume.
I tried different headphones, no changes.
Thanks
TA
Replace jack; fairly sure there's a detailed run through (with pics/parts needed) in the service manuals for the phone which have been posted here in the past (do an XDA or Google search). Or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it if you're not confident enough.

Is it an expensive task to do? I don't see myself doing it nor have the tools for the job.
Don't know/don't know exactly what parts are required (but remember seeing the run through in the manuals). It's fairly obvious it's a hardware issue, and as it's happening with headphone/headset, logic says you replace the jack first. Obviously if you're paying someone else to do that, it becomes expensive due to the cost of labour.

So, after some extra search, I have discovered that there is something broken with Android 4.1.2 audio.
I have installed Poweramp and got the some balance back. So it is a software problem.
Where to go from there?
Thanks. TB
