Before giving it to service center first flash Stock ROM of your country and do factory reset (similar to formatting the phone memory), what happened to your phone ..

It's Really Strange problem with touch screen

Phone is in service center now.
Might sell it after it comes back and get a Note

S4Sixty - I had a very similar problem.. screen used to go bonkers.. Do crazy things... I was really fed up... But then later i found out it was a screenguard problem... I am not sure if its the same with you but that was the problem with mine.. I changed from matte to gloss and I got complete control over my phone again... Strange but true.

Strange, but i will try ur solution n feedback here.
Thanks.

Update :
Collected my phone back from Samsung Service Center.
They changed the LCD and flashed 2.3.5 Official (they claim it is the most recent ROM for my country.....Sheesh).
Advice me to remove the screen protector which is usually the main cause of the touch screen responsiveness. Took their advice ( as well as reymsterio7) and applied a clear guard instead of the matte protector i was using before.
Result : All looks good now. I dun know if it was the screen problem or the matte guard which was the problem.
Overall, i'm glad i dun have to change phones now.

Yeah I flashed Stock FW and my counter was 0 since I used to flash Custom ROM's through CWM.
Those guys act so ignorant man, they never understand the problem! I called them just now and they saying "You problem is network switching off right??" . I have clearly told them that phone gets switched off possiblly while connecting to network so plz check with a SIM inserted. They dont understand. I dunno why cant Samsung hire professionals to deal with our phones bought by our hard earned money. Their service is a joke.

glad to know that your prob got resolved, as you said they changed LCD now you face any prob with screen protectors?

I have a glossy protector on my Galaxy R yet my screen goes bonkers.
So it is definitely a Hardware/ Software issue. I haven't gone to customer care centre yet, With the hope of getting an update for my R.
BTW, Why do you think MATTE Protectors are causing the trouble?
I was thinking of getting one. And also I need your help about the CC part should I go and tell them what my problems are? Or should I just wait for an update?

If you have tried with your earphones which came along i9003 then there must be something wrong with your phone hardware.

Leave it then, ill use the ones without buttons.....i dont wanna go to the sc, they take months and year to fix even such small issues....

Dead Infuse - Please help

Dear community members, my Infuse is dead I don't know why. It was charging over night and I just want to check the time when I noticed it was unresponsive. I though "I'ts just a SOD" but when I pulled out the battery an pressed the power button nothing happened, three finger trick and nothing...black screen no any light whatsoever even when I connect to my PC it is not recognized. Any Ideas?
I have Dman's Zeus 6 whit Script V6 SuperCharger.
I live in El Salvador and here is no any technical support...PLEASE HELP!!!!
I think it's just passed out :'( and if you think so also, I want to know if any of you have an Infuse for sale. I really love this phone because its big screen and wonderful performance.

Check the battery........if u have multi meter u can check it with that or the best way to check ur battery, Touch the battery pins with ur tongue and see if u feel anything.

That will short circuit the battery and then it WON'T work. Also 4v isn't enough to go across your tongue and feel it.

What will short short circuit ?
Just remove the battery and touch it with ur tongue u can feel the current mate.....don't jump on conclusion without trying it.

Thank you guys! I have tested the battery and is full charged (4.14V). Any other ideas?
I really appreciate your help and concern.

Guys I just opened the cellphone and the mainboard is fried
So now I'm lookin for buy the phone or just the mainboard.
Let me know if you have one for sale.
Best regards.

No... I gave it to BestBuy.. I will get a new phone in 3 days.. I have to install GB boot loaders first..
I want to install AOKP, without GB boot loaders i am getting rainbows.. So i want GB boot loaders first..
Heimdall technique failed for me..
I dont know what i have done, mistake..

I have done this but without install GB boot loaders...if you carefully see you can read and make almost everything with the rainbows CWM screen...I did it, tested it and then back to Zeus 6 which I think is the perfect ROM for my needs.
I'm too noob to messing around with boot loaders...LOL
I hope you get your phone back soon.

[ICS] Vibration doesn't work

As the title said, vibration doesn't work for me anymore.
When I flashed the leaked ics, my vibration stopped and the compass or magnetic meter or whatever it's called stopped working. I thought this was a problem with leaked ICS.
I have flashed the nordic rom via odin now and the compass works again but vibration doesn't.
Does anyone else have the same issues? Please help me
I can't do much without vibration
"I like spelling my name backwards"

could be hardware probs cuz my vibration didnt work like 4 months ago and i just didnt fix it ... Try to plug in ur headphone , and push the input bit to the left ( the side with volume buttons ) , try your vibration . If thats the case then its hardware prob .

I've tried all that. Vibration worked on gingerbread.
It could be a hardware problem but getting off leaked ics fixed the compass. Software might similarly be in the way of the vibration.

I'm on TheFrankenstain MOD and I had lost the vibration once. I had to reboot and the issue got solved, but the problem is different from yours.

Hey Pudup buddy,
I think this can be discussed on MJ's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837966 thread..??
For downgrading please use this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843093&highlight=downgrade+to+gb
Buddy, I know you are having a problem but searching before making threads is also a rule of XDA.:good:
Dont mind it buddy.
Reporting to MOD.

pudup said:
Nevermind, I found the problem. And yeah I did search but nothing turned up :3
Anyway the vibrator motor and the earphone jack are one piece and are connected by a small flex cable. Well the flex cable has been cut right down the middle
It's really small. I'd say its been caused by me probably dropping or jerking the phone while headphones were in and that caused the vibrator motor to break away from the headphone jack.
Seems to be a problem for people using Galaxy S2 as well. That's samsung products for you.
EDIT: And while I was trying to fix the thing before by doing what someone suggested which was using a headphone pin and moving it back and forth, I managed to tear the connecting to the earpiece too. So now I don't have a vibrator and I can't hear calls without earphones :/
Gotta get this **** replaced.

Woah ! :3
Why did you try you fix it on your own buddy ?
The electronics inside are very delicate, you should touch the internals only if you know what you're doing.
I hope you can get it repaired under warranty & this little tear doesn't void your warranty. :good:
Cheers !

As bhavik said, flash 2.3.5 Indian stock & give it to the SSC.
If you by any chance give them your handset with ICS flashed on it then at first they would be amazed & may / may not allow you claim warranty.

Screen problems and a few doubts.

Hey, I have a bit of a problem. My screen is acting weird, clicking randomly or just not responding at all sometimes. The only way to fix it is to lock and unlock my screen. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. I also noticed a dead pixel on my screen. It's not very visible but annoying nonetheless.
Sometimes, after a call, my phone just stops responding, and I need to keep the power button pressed to restart it.
What could be reason for these problems? Also, I still have my warranty left. Would the service centre people be willing to fix an issue such as this?
I'm in college right now and won't be able to give it for service for another week. I'm not sure if parts are still available for our device. :/
Also, any news on the official India ICS update? I've been waiting for a while now, checking the forum every few hours for an update or a stable CM build. I know it devs can do it. Can't wait for it.
PS: Any news of epsy? He's been gone for a while now.
Sorry about so many questions. I'm just curious and kind of confused.

@ both persons above; thanks - I myself am facing some problems mentioned in OP (post-call phone dies, sometimes touch is unresponsive and have to lock/unlock screen, slight pixel problem) - and even my phone's warranty runs until Jan 2013.
I'll visit a service center ASAP (possibly this weekend if it's open or next week) and get it sorted.
Cheers!

may be its about your fingers huh? if u touch the screen with sweated or wet fingers, messaging is going to be nightmare
my advice is cleaning your screen with a clean and wet linen or cotton material, and then with a dry one.
also have a high quality screen protecter film.
if u have already tried this and the prob still occours, thats something that i dont have any idea

Thanks, I'll take it to the SSC as soon add i get home.
btw, i avoid using my phone with sweaty or wet hands, and since wiping the screen doesn't help, that's probably not it.
I think the screen guard might be the culprit after all. I've been thinking of changing it for a while now. any suggestions on which one to get?
