[Q] Broken screen - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys ,
Yes, again a very same thread.
So the screen of the Streak has been broken for quite some time now and I wanted to use it again for my car project. Unfortunately I can't find any shop near me (The Netherlands) who can provide me with a solution. Just phoned Dell and they say it will run me about €130 to get it fixed.
Do you guys know any other solution to fix it? Or is it time for me to move on?
Thanks very much in advance,
Ruben

Try ebay
It has many non working streaks which can be used for parts
You can get them for very cheap price

Thanks very much! I've been searching the last couple of days but I seem to find only the parts I need for a price which is a high as low priced android clone with better specs
Given this it seems my Streak trip will end here. Damn that appealing, simple, great design.

Selling my Galaxy Player 5.0

Hey guys I have had a lot of fun with the Galaxy Player Community and I would love to say thanks to all the great developers like Rueben, tsunura, and Supermaster who have put out amazing ROMs and have been overtly helpful. But the time has come and I need to move on. I was really hoping to assist or independently develop a ROM for you guys before this event happened....But less fate had other plans...
Anyway as the title says I will be selling my Galaxy Player, and if any of you are interested here is the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140808670010?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
However, fear not I will still be hovering around the Galaxy Player Forums and assisting you young lads and maidens in your quest for technological development. And if the time is right, I will put out at least 1 ROM for all of you to enjoy.
Anyway I would just like to thank all of you in the Galaxy Player Forum, you all have been amazing....Thanks
Good luck glad you enjoyed my ROM
If its OK with you I could post a link to your auction on the RemICS-UX community forum. Might generate some interest

Yeah if you buy it from the official Samsung site it is $230. But since I am including accessories such as an invisible shield that has already been installed I'm hoping to get at least $210.

you do realize you will be lucky if you can find someone to give you even half what they are going for now, unfortunately any non-apple device is typically unknown and ignored and no one these days will come anywhere near retail, hell i've got stuff (car performance parts) on craiglist for half what they cost new and the few emails I get people are only offering half that number.

The bigger thing I have got going for me is I am offering a bunch of accessories I bought for it including things like an invisible shield maximum full body protection so if anything that should bring it to at least a reasonable amount.

It sucks, I desperately need the money for school, I should have sold it earlier, because it would have been easier.
I picked up a Used-Like New Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from Amazon.com Warehouse deals on 07/09/12
for $148.03. When I received it it looked brand new in the box. They had 2 other devices listed in the same
condition at that time for the same price. I just checked again today and they have another one listed as
Used - Like New for once again $148.03. What is strange they have another one listed in the same condition
$189.05. And many listed as Used - Good or Very Good in the $179-$185 range.

I'm including some extra cables and an invisible shield full maximum which was $20 dollars so if the price range is $179-185 the price of the invisible shield bumps it up to $199-205. So if I offer it at the price you gave I will basically be ripping myself off, considering I have the invisible shield and other extras.

[Q] Vibrant Motherboard

After almost 7/8 months I have logged in to XDA. I love my Vibrant so much. It is now full stop. No light, no reboot screen, no response at all. I took it to the local Samsung Customer care. They told me that my phone's motherboard damaged. Can i change the motherboard myself? Where can I get new motherboard? They said they had no Samsung Vibrant motherboard so they couldn't do anything. What will I do? i have not enough money to buy a new android set. Please help me.

[Q] Anyone else use ThL W7+ ?

This week, I received my new ThL W7+ Quad-core Android phone and I will be sharing some of my thoughts on this handset.
The model I got was the ThL W7+ and for this particular set, it came with 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM model. I think it is indeed a good bargain.
I bought a white one with a blue back case. It seems well suits the phone. The whole smartphone looks nice. I love the exterior design. It don’t have edges and touches good.
5.7 inch screen may be too large for some people but that’s what I need. Large screen make me feel better when watching movies and play 3D games. Gyroscope, G-sensor, light and distance sensors all built in. The 3D games are wonderful.
I also love watch videos on the Internet when I am out in cars or on subway. It runs smoothly. Two batteries also make it perfect. I won’t always worry that it will be dead.
I bought it from funbookes.com. Who knows it or ever buy products from it?
Does anyone else use ThL? What about your device?
Mine will arrive in a week or 2, I'm waiting for it badly, but too bad I could not find any forum for this device. I know it is a big phone, but come on, it is a very good product -.-
I hope I will be able to use an OTG driver for this, ordered a $1 cable for it
Btw is it prerooted from minideal? Anyone knows?
Hi,
I also purchased w7s a couple weeks ago. It is a nice phone for the price. However, I found out that Skype video call is not working properly. Microphone is not picking up the voice and only hear static noise with very fainted voice. I guessed that microphone is not switching over to speaker phone mode but I do not know how to fix this. Another problem is Netflix. It does not run. I can get into the main page but I cannot play videos.
I am wondering there is someone having similar problems or this is just for my unit.
Thank you.

Oh, one more thing. I could not use a hotspot feature with my ThL W7. It does not connect to the internet. Is there anyone who has a similar situation?
It is a nice machine over all but speaker phone with Skype does not work and no tethering (this could be caused by Android 4.2). It would be great to have these features working.
Thank you.

After many e-mail exchanges and discussions, thlmobilestore ask me to send my unit back to them for repair.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I found out that it will cost me almost half the price of phone to ship back to thlmobilestore.com. I am not sure what to do now.
Sent from my SK17a using xda app-developers app
I got a reply from thlmobilestore.com and she suggested to take the defective phone to the local repair shop. So, I asked where the nearest repair shop is in Canada or United States. I am waiting for her reply. This phone is only less than two month old and should be covered by warranty.
Sent from my SK17a using xda app-developers app
I exchange a couple of emails since my last post. ThLmobilestore told me that there is no ThL local store in Canda. No comment with regards to United States. Then, they suggested me to use different post office. In one of their emails, it is mentioned that no carrier companies are accepted. I am not sure that I can find cheaper price sending this item to china with tracking number using canadian postal service.
Sent from my SK17a using xda app-developers app
Since my last post, there has been no progress. Thlmobilestore keeps on repeating two things. Look for a cheaper post office, or repair at local repair shop.
Are there any opinions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
After talking this problem for nearly one month, they are now telling me that ThLmobilestore do not cover shipping cost after one month. They claim that it is in their policy. I do no remember reading it, but I can not prove there was no statement like that. So, my choice is to either send this unit and get fixed hoping no extra charge, or not to send this unit and keep this phone as is.

After receiving an email from thlmobilestore saying that they will pay me back shipping fee, I decided to send my unit for repair. It has been arrived there two days ago and it will take 15 business days to repair. They have not stated how to pay me back postage fee.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I have received a email from ThLmobilestore.com saying that 'we have received your repair item and will send it to our factory for repair, it will take 15 working days'. Based on the record from Canada Post, it was delivered to them on September 9. It has been 5 days since. There is no mentioning with regards to postage fee refund.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
My unit came back after repair. No sign of refund for my postage fee which they promised. I sent some emails asking for refund but they kept on saying that they made a mistake to promise refunding the postage fee.
After this repair, camera was fixed with a sign of instability (hopefully not going to break again). But tethering is still not functioning. I sent a couple additional email to this thlmobilestore.com to ask why this is still not working. And now they are asking me to send my unit back for repair. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Is there anyone having a similar problems with this supplier?

You can find the replacement on ebay, price isnt to bad either. This video shows an opened one, and in the description he explains how he opened the phone without destroying it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkedw4_27k
It will probably be a little difficult so take your time and don't try to force anything. Also take pictures or video so others can see how it went. Good luck to you buddy, i hope you are able to get your phone working again. Such a great phone, i would hate to see you lose it!
I think etrade supply sells it as well, a quick google search should help.

Good luck man. According to AndroidCentral, iFixit gave the HTC One a 1 out of 10 score for repairability making it one of the most difficult phones to repair. Everyone should make sure to buy insurance.

If you don't mind possibly sharing the seller that you go through and exactly what you were buying that would be great and may help us out with our question thanks?
Almost any should be fine. I've managed to get a refund the few times I've been ripped off by a seller. That being said, I would advise looking for sellers with 1000+ feedback to make sure you're dealing with someone trustworthy. Ordering by orders when searching for items helps a lot with narrowing that down as there is items with more feedback will allow you to get an idea of what the quality is like.

It's kind of like ebay but without the bidding. Some sellers are bad, some aren't.

Look for the gold seal they use on trusted sellers. The seal should have a number on it,which represents the amount of years they've been with alibaba/express
