[Need help] no signal - Captivate General

Hi,
On my new captivate there is a thing (looks like a connector) near the sim card, i thinked it was a n antenna connector, so i picked up a wire and connected it to the center of the connector an i dont have signal since that.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks, netpok

Why would you do that? Sounds like you may have shorted something. Time for a call to repair.

the main problem is that im living in hungary
i dont now how can i arrange the repairing
any ideas?

I think you are referring to the gps antenna but you probably shorted something

Absolutely no idea.

Gonna have to send it to Samsung repair. And to prevent the next question no it will not be covered by warrenty. Depending on the closest repair center to you. I have to agree.......Why would you do that?

That means, at now i have a really expensive pda.

Sorry to say but this problems is not solved. I have just ”test” this crap of software and destroyed the speaker. The owner (Mike Reid) of this sw not even alert me about the known problem with burning the speakers in the past. I did not know them only AFTER it happened to me. May 29 was a black day for me. The main problem was that this guy not even try to compensate me even it was 100% his fault. He did not warn me about the problem. I found later (to late) about this problem it happend to others also. I have ordered the speaker from Ebay (it was 3,5 usd and the transport was free of charge) so he could easily ”clean” his fault.
So guys, take care about the risks with this sw.

That's weird. I've been using it an hour a day for the past month with no issues. Mike did report in his thread that the issue was fixed long ago.

It's not meant for Samsung ROMS. Samsung fm app is their own and cannot be used in custom ROMS.

I did. Well, I emailed it to him. He said it was probably the kernel. Not much I can do. I got a refund. I'll keep trying the free one after updates just to see. Oh well.

Hey. I have just repaired my speaker, only installing again the kernel. Try it, maybe is the solution.

Happy for you that you have no damage. Sorry to say but a physically damaged (as was mine) is not repaired by reinstalling the kernel or even the whole rom. Anyway I will try no more on any other phone and advice all my friends for that, because of the risky you can have. More than that, even if there will be no risky in the future for this software, the guy who made it worth no cent because of his behavior. Such persons who don't care about what happened to others (and I repet, it was 100% his fault because he didn't warn me) worth only loathing from me.
Still using it fine here...

Once again. I am not telling you all not to use it. I was told my experience just to warn you that you could have this situation. As I told before, if Mike warn me about this possibility I, and not him, should be blamed for my try. But more he has a strange behavior after I acuse him that he is quilty for that. My background teaching stops me not to show our correspondence to a public view to see the real man behind this software. Piece of crap. For me, a human been is more important than a couple of bucks spend to repair something...

Not right for you to call another human being a piece of crap though. Mike does a lot of hard work and I don't think its fair for you to throw him under the bus like that. Be the bigger man over a $3.50 speaker..... You've been bitter for EXACTLY 6 months to the day in this thread. Get over it

Poor cell reception

Guys,
My power button had spoilt, had given to a local shop for repair. That got fixed. but after I got the cell back, I am getting very poor to no reception at all. 3G is also not working. Tried everything, flashed a new rom (7.8) too. Still no fix.
Please help me, I dont want to change my phone
Update:
On changing mode to GSM all through Diagnostic app, I am not getting any network at al!!
BUMP! Please any suggestions
That might be the sign of poor re-assembly or that something has been affected in your phone.
Has the back plate of your phone also been changed? I got a cheap replacement for mine and with it I get 2 bars less than the original one.

[Q] Component missing i9001

Hey guys! I just bought myself an I9001 Galaxy S Plus from someone (second hand)... It's my first smartphone so i think i've been busted.
The phone seemed to work well, and everything was ok. But when I try to use the GPS (without internet connection), it does'n seem to find any server. I've changed some different ROMs with different Kernels, but it still can't reach any server.
I forgot to mention that with some ROMs the signal level is very oscillating...
Today i was looking at the phone and observed that there is a hole just above the battery where some component, like an antenna or something is missing. I don't know what component is that...
I think that the missing component is the one in te next picture. But what is its name and role? Instead of it, at my phone, there's a soildered wire... This trick was made to mask other issues of the phone? (if i replace the missing component the phone might have problems?)
I'll attach the photos, may be you can help me. Thanks!!!
Does anybody know?

edit: oh crap taking a second look at it (thought the third picture was your phone) it does look like its missing something Sorry mate

I think it's a Connector coaxial, a micro miniature form of RF coaxial connector. Look at one i marked with an arrow.. You can replace that part from samsung service center
Best of luck.
The details:
Design LOC: RFS100
SEC CODE: 3705-001731
Description: CONNECTOR-COAXIAL
thank you!
but that's the reason why my gps doesn't work?
or that's the reason why the signal level is very oscillating when i'm using some custom ROMs?
do I need it, or i can live without ?

May be. Not sure..
I used to have a i9000B wich is basicaly the same device.
THE GPS signal simply sucks, it was so bad that sometimes it took 2 minutes to lock in open field, with some roms it got better with other even worse.
I used GPS AIDS with that device an app that was developed just to try to solve this particular device problem at that time. look it up, maybe it can help a little bit, but i thing this device will never get a high speed gps lock.

I know that its GPS sucks, but mine effectively sees nothing. no server
Am i blind, or my antenna is missing completely?
No. Sorry, the antenna is there. I don't know what my problem is with the GPS.
Doesn't seem like there is anything missing. GPS on this was really bad. I never got a GPS signal.

Is there a way to solve the yellow line?

I everyone, sorry if I ask.
I've bought a chinese OPO and I've seen that, at the bottom of the screen I've the "famous" yellow line.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm under warranty but I've bought the phone from China and I'm from Italy, only the ship cost will be more than the repair.
There's no place to repair a china phone here, nobody even known the phone
But it's a problem that has a lot of OPO and the manufacturer said that, they're good enough and, even N% has yellow screens...
But I'm really not happy with this phone, not only for the yellow line.
There is no way to fix it, with usage and time it gets slightly better. 99% of phones have this, so you should not have bought the phone, if you think this is a deal breaker.

I didn't know that this kind of phone has this kind of screen. Obviously I never bought a phone with this defect.
I really never bought a phone even if I had known the state of Cyano 11s.
But it'd definitely my fault.
Thanks for the answers.
There's an entire thread dedicated to this. Try using a UV lamp (found at a nail salon) for ten minutes with the device turned off.

[Q] Xperia L hardware

Does anybody know where I can find detailed information about the pieces of the hardware?
Like where is the wifi located, gps.. What connects to what. Things like that.
Maybe a diagram of the circuit or something.
I'm having issues with the wifi. It suddenly disconnects and reboots the device. When the phone turns back on the wifi is off and won't turn on again unless I press the back of the phone and reboots. Then it works for some time again.

You will not find electric manual for any Sony Xperia smartphone, because they don't exist. Sony has changed their policy and they do not repair electric components. If something is broken on main board, they are making just a main board swap. So buy working Xperia L with broken LCD and swap main board.
