i flashe xxkpe twice man.. it still didn't fix it -.-

it might be h/w problem also.. My i9003's back button stopped working in 2 months.. w/o doing anything!! I got that complete screen replaced

My sister's capacitive button started to activate by itself without even touching it. After flashing, it stopped. Sent it for repair and the service center said the touch panel needs to be replaced. Two different scenarios but maybe the same

kuya!
sent my sl to customer service.. they checked the phone and charged me Php200 just so they could say that it was a hardware problem (i was pretty aware that it was.. i didn't need to pay Php200 to be assured)... they said i should pay Php3000 to get a new touchscreen installed.. wtf -.- i don't have that much money at the moment.. are there simpler solutions to this?
i think i just got ripped off by samsung's customer service :/

That's what i said to my sister. But to check, we sent it to the service center. 3k??? My sister was charged with 5k.. waaaa!!! is your warrant still intact? I got my sl's(which is now owned by my sister) touch panel replaced through warrant because its top right side somewhat lifted up
Edit: Are u sure it's 3k???
Edit2: i just installed button saviour(a virtual back, home, recent apps etc which will be hidden on the side of your screen) on my sister's sl to get a temporary menu and back button.

No, warranty expired last April 30
5k?! insane man! I didnt pay 3k yet, still looking for cheaper alternatives
-i think my sl unit is defective, as in.. I bought a defective one. i've experienced more than 3 problems with this phone without even doing anything to it..motherboard broke itself, speaker too, sometimes t.screen doesnt work..-.-

Why do they have different prices? you brought it to sm cebu right? Cyber zone, north wing? Try button saviour as of now. Or any app like it. Why do you have two phones anyway?

Yeeeah sm. Gave my old SL to my brother but he's not a flashaholic like me -.- so i had to help him if he wants something flashed..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

There are apps to help you replace the soft keys by placing a panel of soft keys at the bottom of the screen like in aokp. Use those first, they should help
Cheers

I am pretty sure that the service center won't even *try* to fix it, they change the whole screen, for example, if the memory chip goes bad, they don't change it, they change the WHOLE motherboard, with warranty or without it.

So the Jtag guy wouldn't service it, or tried to and failed? I would just send it to mobiletechvideos.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I would be concerned with what caused this problem to begin with. Even if you pay to jtag it and it comes back to life if it bricked on its on like you said what would keep it from doing it again? Jtag might get it unbricked but if you have other problems they are still gonna be there when it comes alive.... I agree with xcrazydx mobiletech videos is great. If josh can't fix it then its unrepairable and cannot be fixed. Just search mobile tech videos in Google and contact josh with your problem and he will tell you what to do. I used him to fix a dead USB port on my old captive and he done a great job after others told me it could not be fixed he did it....

Hardware or software problem?

Each time I try to open a app my phone freezes and shows a black screen and there is no sound. When they call me I cant answer because it freezes and if I do they cant here me, I have factory reset the phone but same problem I have restored back to stock gb 2.3.5 but still nothing. Can this be fixed or can I send it to get fixed for a good price.
if you have restored to stock, then wiped caches and a reset, and it still freezes then its a hw issue, if its under a year, warranty it, if its over then see if you can get an estimate for repairs
I have wiped everything but still same issue, do you know how can this be fixed?

If you've restored completely to stock and you still have the issue, take it in to an AT&T store. If you've had it less than a year, warranty it like vincom suggested.
But Im not with at&t im move to straight talk because it was cheaper. But I want to know if its a software or hardware I've asked around and people and friends been telling me its a software problem and others tell me its a hardware problem? Im confused.
It's a Hardware issue, you've already tried different software. Take it to where you bought it if it's still under warranty.

I dont have warranty because I moved to straight talk and do you think the jtag repair will fix this problem?
I don't think jtag will fix it, that's for a hard bricked device. You have other issues which I don't know what they are.

You have been given some good advise by very knowledgeable people and appears you won't follow it. One of my phones had the same problem it was hardware related I took I sent it back to AT&T and it was replaced under warranty.

[Q] Phone fell on the ground!! :(

My phone fell directly on ground facing the touchscreen side and now its showing a combination of pink lines and black one from the left side to middle of the phone... Theres not a single scratch on screen and the touch is working fine but i am unable to see the left side of the phone at all due to the several coloured lines........
Do i have to get the screen changed or how can i fix it??
Any help is appreciated!!
Order it from ebay.

Went to service centre and they said its not charged under warranty and they'll need 3800rs to fix it

Touch screen

Hello everyone: I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, which had sold me second hand but in very good condition in the initial tests I did not realize touchscreen failures ... There are times when works great but there are times when that does not respond ... Strange .. I do a test and everything seems ok, is there any way to test if the scanner or software really is?
It can be hardware or software issue... Look for some screen calibration app to check if screen is okay... And also try flashing latest stock rom... Not sure what is causing it so you will have to try everything...

if you have some technical knowledge then open your phone tighten the screen connection it will be a big steel jack.

Give some proper details like which ROM you are using.?
Are you rooted?
Did you flash anything or installed anything new.?
Also, use Q/A subforum for the same
I am using stock rom ics indian version and i rooted my device.

I have checked many custom roms to make it work.none of them worked..

Mine doesn't work either. Kind of used to it now since my phone is out of warranty and I won't pay 8000 INR to get it to vibrate.
Btw, it's not the first time. Happened twice. So I got it repaired from SSC under warranty. They replaced the motherboard both the times in order to fix it.

It's pretty easy to do yourself if it isn't under warranty

Here is a video explaining how to disassemble a similar phone to ours with the final objective being screen replacement. Not exactly what you want but it will give you a good idea.
You will need to replace the part. You can find it here and other places

Have patience and go slow. The power cable for example is very easy to rip in two...I did this and now have to solder on another one.
Whoa. Strangely, my phone's vibrator started working today! After being dead for like 6 months, it just started working again even when I did nothing. Lol.
