[Q] There is something wrong with the SCREEN! - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi guys !
I have a big problem here please help me ........
I just bought a Fire HDX 8.9" from Amazon.com.
After a couple days, I found there is something in my screen.
It's like couple of super-tiny-red-dash-matrix, you have to watch the screen very carefully to see those things.
They look like the Attachment picture below, and they show more clearly in white background.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They are actually smaller and more blurred than the picture shows. And when I change the angle between the device and my eyes, the matrix will move up-down.
So, when I found this problem, I contacted Amazon and Replaced the device.
BUT, the Second device they sent to me, has the SAME problem:crying:!!!!!!!!!!
This situation very very confuse me. I just wonder is there any fellows have the same problem with me ? And what should I do?
MY device: Fire HDX 8.9, 8.9" HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 64 GB - Includes Special Offers.
(I'm a new international student here, so please forgive me about the bad language.)
Thank you all if there is any help or advises.

Which firmware is on it? Did you rooted kindle, put some other recovery on it, than stock? Using safestrap and running nexus on extra slot?
No? Then that could also means, that there is some faulty batch of Apollos (bad screens or faulty HW) devices in Amazon storages, so you can end with faulty device again ... Or not. What you do, is up to you... :good:

Thanks for the reply.
No, I have not done any thing about the kindle. It is definitely the hardware problem.
I just wanna check other's kindle to see whether you guys have this problem or not. It turns out not.
I brought it when Amazon has the Valentine's Promotion. 64G ROM just need $299, I think it is a great offer. But......:crying:
I will contact Amazon tell them what I have found, and good luck for me........:silly:

Try putting kindle in airplane mode see if that fixes even try switch off WiFi try it may be your picking up some sort of signal noise worth a try.

MC3 errors?

First off, no warez please.
I'm getting a bunch of account based problems. With the exception of the reported sensitivity problems when aiming (no big deal for me, I still get kills).
Basically this.

My match data is off, I've played close to 10 matches and it says 3, and that I've only won 1 match, and lost zero out of the 3 (never tied..).
I almost never get credited after a match, I've lost about 20k so far because when I exit the matches after I'm finished the gold isn't there.
My K;D counts are way off, it should be higher - and my match history shows me playing matches I haven't played (only play alert & divide).
Plus my level 51 account was reset to level 1 when I started.
I don't mind playing it just for fun, but I can't even get to the point where I can buy a better gun or skills/equipment so I don't die as much.
Do you have the game on other device and does it do the same? I think this is more server related.

Never did this on my tf101, but that was using an unmodified apk for an a500 on HC.
I don't have an answer to your problemo....but do you mind me asking how you got it on the TF201? I know you purchased it on another device so you did pay for and own it...but does it just work on the Prime or does it need to be modded?

Camera switch problem

Hi
I have a Galaxy S3 white 16gb.
One of the first first things a did when first turning on my new phone was to try the camera. I switched from the back to the front camera and then back again and now the camera app wont even open. After about 20 seconds after opening the camera app I get ' Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.'.
I thought if I turned the phone off and on again this may fix the problem but no. I then removed the battery for a few seconds but this again, this did not fix the problem.
The only way I could get the camera to work again was to do a factor reset. I just have to open up the camera app and switch from back to front and back again and the same problem occurs.
Is it only me?
Thanks
Me too
Hi,
No it's not just you I have this issue too! Not a happy bunny
I'm thinking it maybe a software release error. My device settings are
Android 4.0.4
kernek 3.0.15-611327

Is that what you mean?
I got it from Vodafone UK.
Sending Back
Hi,
No I'm not keeping mine. I also contacted samsung and they have said to return it to the supplier.
As for the firmware I connected mine to Kies and Kies informed me that my phone was not compatabile for a firmware upgrade via Kies. I can only guess that there is no firmware upgrade available.
Cas
I have been chatting in the Vodafone UK eforum.
I have spoken to Vodafone and they said it is not a known issue so seems like a hardware problem with my device. They are arranging for a new one to be sent to me Thursday so I can swap.
Other than that is seems like a great device.

I just tried what you said - took a pic with the front camera, switched to the back and took another, then closed and restarted the camera - and it worked fine for me.
Although I did spot that you're on a later revision than I am (my phone's SIM-free)

Yes I know that "well it works for me" isn't that helpful. That said, maybe you can use this as "evidence" that you've got a busted phone? HTH

[Ask] Install Custom ROM for Galaxy S III 'Look-a-Like' (Made in China)

To be honest, this is my first time experience with fake phone. But the first time I look, i thought it was real.
So, my friend bought Samsung Galaxy S III in china. She bought with a very cheap price, about $200. I thougt she can get that very low price because pass tax or black market. I already suspicious when im setting that phone, and i found many chinese app with chinese write, and cannot be uninstall. So i just disable it. I thought it using chinese firmware. Its menu on setting also different from other S3. There is no S-Voice on this phone. When im trying to connect with Samsung Kies, it not Detected.
And when im open the backlid, it surprised me. Here's the picture :

Phone Info
China really good at cloning something. IMPOSIBRU !!
And my friend give me authorities to do whatever with this phone, because she cant use skype and some apps. She still dont know yet that this phone is fake.
And my question is :
It is possible to change its ROM to a custom ROM ? Maybe use Rom that using same kernel?
If theres no possibilites, I will put my hands up and give this back to her, and laugh.
I guess the phone will have different hardware, kernel etc., hence it will be dangerous to try a I9300 rom on it. Give it a try if you don't care that it becomes a brick, otherwise don't do it

you'd most probably brick it. it's like trying to flash a honda pilot dashboard firmware onto a bmw 5 series dashboard firmware. different hardware and software. (even if it's both android, it's hardware wont allow it to work.

Dell 7840 - Dell Chat News - Android M (sorta) announced, Active Stylus working

Hey there,
all other threads appeared like some kida rumors or questions, now here is some proper Dell-evidence to rely on.
a) Android M is coming to the Dell 7840. Hurray.

Good news, if you ask me.
However, if you purchase the 750-AAHC, do make sure that you can return it for a refund. The 750-AAHC would not work or respond at all with my Dell Venue 8 7840 tablet. Works with a bog-standard capacitive stylus.

I purchased a 750-AAHC and it works perfectly. Notice that appropriate software is needed such as Squid. It really actually works, palm rejection works, there are no interferences of any kind.

Thanks for that - didn't realise anything else was needed. Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, I managed to return mine for a refund.
Somebody else told me operability depends upon the revision of 750-AAHC that you get, but I had no way to verify this. I think my packaging said A00, but can't check now.

That is good news but i just chatted with a dell agent and he said he had no idea about it
Good to know, I love my 7840 regardless....best tablet I've ever owned. I'll probably buy another one if another Dell refurb deal comes along.
I still had hopes back then...

Strange Display Output GT-I9300

Hi there,
got a GT-I9300 from a friend. I'm gonna try to fix this. But I figured I'll ask here first.
This Display gives me this:

I thought about the Cable from MoBo to Display, but I'm not sure.
Thanks in Advance.

I guess dead eMMC. If you can find a reflow station, just buy a new eMMC and replace it. Repartition and then you're done.

Hi thanks for the answer.
So it's not the display but the missing of an OS due to the broken eMMC? mhm interesting.
But isn't the eMMC soldered to the MoBo? How difficult is it replace it?

Of course it is slodered to the MB, but if you have a reflow gun, some spare balls and an eMMC laying around, it takes about an hour or so. If not, see your local repair shop. It may as well be a bad connection, so best get it reflowed.

Okay, as I thought. I'm not as comfy with soldering stuff myself. I did not get into it and I don't plan on doing so on a friends device.
I will propably take it to a store then. How much would you pay for a job like that? The most shops in germany are overpriced as ****, so would be nice to have a reference.

How much would I pay? Well, the eMMC is about 24 euro on Ebay, and I'd say probably 30-40 euro for the labor. It's very complicated and the risk of doing something wrong is higher than average. Plus the software on it, your guess is as good as mine. The total should be right about 70-85 euro. That's how much I'd charge for the swap if i ran a shop with the tools.
