Dead pixel?

How can I spot a dead pixel? There is a small black spot on my tablet which doesn't appear to be going away.
What is the cause also?

Install this and try:Dead Pixel Test
The cause is mainly that there are made alot of screens and some have fault.. easy as that

Thanks, looks like it is a dead pixel. Its incredibly small but I think I will get it replaced or something.

If I try one of them dead pixel "fixers" which flash your screen different colours continuously, would it harm my tablet if i left it like that for about 5 or 6 hours?

Crying tablet?

I had my tablet, docked and on charge. After it had fully charged (i was using it), i noticed a sound which i can't really describe coming from the tablet. It wasn't very loud and was like a screeching sort of sound. As soon as i took the charger out, the noise went away but upon plugging it back in, the noise instantaneously returns. What could be the problem,if any?

Are you sure its from the tablet and not from dock?

yeah, you could be right. What do you think the problem is?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

I have the exact same problem on my tf300 and optimus 2x if they are fully charged but still connected to ac.
I have always thought that this is normal.

I just randomly noticed it and wasn't sure if it was a hardware issue or something. Not noticed it before

so its only when u plug your tablet in?

I heard from crying charges in some other devices thread, but not from a crying tablet.

Yes, whilst it was fully charged. I'm not sure if it happens otherwise

It happens always for me when the tablet is fully charged and plugged

Why does it happen?
Seems like it's a bit common though so not too worried about it being a hardware fault.
Thanks for the replies

Keyboard Dock acting funny

hi guys i really need ur help. To day i went to school and used the tablet with the dock normally and i also type some notes...however when i went home, i disconnected them and i put them back together....and all of a sudden the dock stopped working.
The trackpad still works, it still charges and recognizes usb etc...but the keys do not work.
everything stock, not rooted and both bought brand new together about 7 months ago...

Doing a factory reset could help. You can backup your apps using Asus app backup

still far away

Yeah it is. I sent mine off recently (I'm in the UK) and it took nearly 2 weeks. My problem hasn't even been fixed though so i'm gonna need to send it back unfortunately.
Hope you get your problem sorted

since its a problem with the dock do you think i need to send the whole unit or just the dock?

You could always ask them by contacting ASUS. I usually get a reply back the following day. I think they have a contact option on their website. I would assume you'd have to send both though

Charging problems

As the title says my phone isn't charging properly. I know it's not the charger itself because my gf uses it also and it works just fine for her. I've bought a new battery and it hasn't made a difference either. My phone this morning after 4 hrs in the charger has only gone up 5% this problem has been going on for weeks now. Im hoping someone here has an idea what's wrong.

My phone also dies if I use it while on the charger

Last thing it could be is a hardware issue, either a bad connection or somethings wrong with the charging connection to the battery.
Could also be a bad USB cable, if it's going bad it won't hold a good connection very well.
If you're out of warranty then your best option would be to buy a external battery charger and an extra battery, not ideal, but at least you'll have a way to use your phone.

I know, so it isn't a problem with your battery or charger or USB cable, then it has to be your phone, but it's impossible to know for sure what's wrong. You might be able to fix it by replacing the charging port, or it could be a bad connection from the charging port to the motherboard, or it might be a bad connection from your battery to your charging prongs...
Could be a number of issues. If you're under warranty still then send it in to Samsung, if you're out of warranty then search around and see if you can get it repaired for a reasonable price, swapping batteries will also work for the meantime.

I've only had my phone for a few months so it should still be under warranty. Do I call up Verizon and they take care of it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes, they will try to troubleshoot it but by the looks of it you've tried everything. They will just send you another phone. As long as your current one doesn't have any physical damage or water damage

Exactly, if Verizon won't help you then Samsung will. Try Verizon first, you definitely deserve a new phone.

Thanks you guys. I will definitely try Verizon. One more quick question. Will they send me a new phone first before I send mine in?

Charging

As this SG3 ages, it's getting harder to charge. Im having to buy new cables as well as bend, twist, shimmy, shake & do other creative tricks to get it to charge. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or suggestions that may help?

Check Amazon for a qi wireless charger, and also get a qi wireless receiver for your s3. It's a flat card with contacts, you just lay it on top of your battery (making sure the contacts are lined up), put the cover back on and poof, you charge completely wirelessly
This is the charging pad I got (but there are less expensive ones): http://www.amazon.com/gp/other/aw/d...6lMu6WT3Yl7h3k9T/JvVKlsYqVKlSA/9k=&precache=1
Stupid Amazon links...Lol.. here is what the receivers look like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/other/aw/d...oQhAbNnqhGRvIIQgMg5JwFtyEIFQhCD//Z&precache=1

Nah, its not defective; the micro-sd pins are worn out. It just old...its seen over 1.5 yrs of hard use. But it has definitely been a good one.

Ok i had my fone since 2012 still running strong. Jst has a crack in the left corner of the screen.

I love the koolpad (the 1st link). I have two of them and I haven't charged any other way since. I believe it charged equally as fast as when it's plugged in directly
