My galaxy tab 2 recently started having a yellow flicker when I pick it up or move it. Can't find anyone else with my problem. I contacted Samsung and they told me to do a factory reset. I did and it didn't work. Any ideas? I can fix it if I have to and its not to expensive. Or if the repair is cheap I would rather someone else work on it. I keep it in a belkin case so it is protected. The only thing is I bring it to school in my backpack but it should be protected in their. I managed to get a picture with my s4 of it.

if you are sure it did not fell on ground or have any other damage then try to again flash stock rom and even if problem persists it means that the problem is with screen { hardware]

Ok, so I've been checking this back every once in a while to see if anyone else managed to break their GS3. So far I haven't seen much, so... I happened to break the glass and digitized on my GS3 and it seems they sell A LOT of LCD replacements on ebay. Has anyone else tried this option and does it work or must it be Amoled?

First off, you have to buy one for the i515, do not get on for the i9300. The i9300 is the international model and the i515 is the Verizon model. They could have different connectors (haven't looked yet). You managed to break the glass and digitizer? That's an expensive fix with screens like the S3's. You are looking at over $200 currently.
You would have to go with something like this.
Here's a picture walk through.
Yep, turned on the power and just a black screen even though it vibrates turning on. With the one you posted however, it still says lcd, that is not a problem?

I'm guessing that they just mislabeled it as LCD. Just email the seller and ask if it is amoled and OEM. How did you manage that? Is it actually broken or just not powering on?
I'll do that, as everyone I look at says LCD. Also, not sure if its not powering on or broken (possibly a loose cable but highly doubtful). I broke it when I laid down a motorcycle and it hit the road pretty good.
I was just wondering if anyone has these problems.

I've been reading online that the galaxy s3 has been having some body case issues and with the screen also..
http://www.netbooknews.com/51826/mysterious-crack-in-samsung-galaxy-s3-screen/
I also heard Samsung admitted about the faulty screens. I just wanted to know if anyone else is having these issues?
My GS3 from Verizon is doing just fine, nothing wrong.
What exactly did Samsung admit to?

I've got the UK SIM Free version of this phone and a mysterious small crack appeared on my phone after the first couple of days of usage. I've noticed since then it's gradually started to get bigger. It's got to be a design flaw because it's always kept in a cushioned case.
I'm not very happy after spending £600 on this handset. I didn't take out insurance.
After 5 months of use, I managed to break my screen....dam it! I've always been quite careful with my electronics, but managed to drop it today. And of course like a cat always lands on 4 legs, phones usually land face down.
Broke the top of the screen and the touch screen is rendered useless. Put an RMA in with Alcatel. I've read others on the internet have managed to get a claim in and Alcatel fixed it for a little better than $100. I would pay the $100, as opposed to buying a new phone.
Questions I have:
1. Since I can't get into my phone, is there any other way to get any data off of it? LCD is still visible, just can't get in.
2. Has anybody had a "positive" experience with getting a glass screen fixed on this phone yet? I've read a few breaks in the forum here, but it doesn't seem like too many have followed through with the repair experience.
3. Are, or is there any advice with regards to this phone and the broke screen?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dang that sucks......so to get data you can plug it into a computer and the computer should let you pull all your info off. Also I can't help you with the getting the screen fixed as I never broke a screen on my phone.

Have you tried using an otg cable and wireless keyboard/mouse?
Yes , I tried using the OTG , but the lockscreen needs to be unlocked for the computer to communicate with both the internal and SD card storage areas. The back door is locked.
I submitted an RMA to Alcatel and am waiting for further instructions in a repair. Hopefully it won't set me back too much. If it does then I'll just pick up a used one through Swappa.
Thanks for the help.
Sent back to Alcatel. $105 to replace the busted digitizer and ship it back. Hopefully they didn't wipe my phone with a hard factory reset, I requested they not.
Should have it back Tuesday.
Just a follow up with the replacement of the digitizer. Alcatel sent the phone back to me yesterday and they wiped the hard drive with a factory reset, despite my request not to.
Phone works very well now though, I must say. Mostly all my data and apps loaded right in with ease, just lost some texts and a small folder of downloads and photos that were on the phone. Not all was lost.
Don't seem to have SD card issues any longer now, like I had before, which I find interesting. Must be the hard reset that had something to do with that, but my 3rd party launcher always used to struggle to load app icons properly, the SD card would some times not read properly? All that seems much smoother now however.
Cost me $105, oh well...time to get myself a better glass screen protector and case. I had an LK case w/ a kickstand and a peel off screen protector prior. I'll be stepping that up a notch now. One more break of this phone, I'm moving on to a different device.
Peace.
Got my s2 sport 3 days ago and today I noticed the bezel is kind of flimsy. Not that it rotates more easily but more like it is not that well attached to the case anymore. Feels as if it was meant to be pressed as a buttton rather than only rotate.
Anyone else with this issue? Is this "normal"?
I had that issue on the the first one I bought. Returned it and got another

Thanks. After seeing other posts of people having similar or even worse problems with the bezel, I asked Amazon for a replacement. Now I have to return my current gear s2.

Not very happy... Will see if the replacement hasn't the same problem.
I have the same issue. The bezel makes a click noise when I touch it. I didn't recognize it the first days when I played with my device. I will get my replacement tomorrow so I can compare 1:1 what's normal and what's not.

Yes, I also didn't have the clicking on the bezel at first, then it suddenly became more "raised" and started to click when touched.
Please, let us know if your second watch is better. Will get my replacement by next monday, but I plan to send back the old one on saturday, so no chance to compare them.
Thanks.
Can anybody who thinks they have a flimsy bezel tell me if you scroll with the rotating bezel slowly but not too slow in the "app circle" back and forth, does it sometimes go the wrong direction you're spinning?
I am experiencing this with the Verizon Gear S2 3G. Sometimes its more than one time if I keep spinning in the same direction. It seems it got into a loop or something. Planning on bringing it back and I got it 3 days ago. I can press mine down like it is a button. I had the S2 bluetooth before and I don't really remember that happening.
Nope. Mine only was sort of loose but the rotation response had no issues. The replacement is better.
Ok I'm gonna go bring it in tomorrow
Hi.
So yesterday I got my watch back from an authorised repair shop that changed my battery, cost me about 80$ and they manage the lose my watch and return someone else's.
Got my in the end but someone over there manage to do something to it and I don't want to send it back to them.
My bezel seems to react but only change one screen, and then change back to the previous screen when I keep rotating it. If I use my finger it will change between all windows on the watch with no problems.
No strange sounds and feels the same.
I Googled it and took apart the bezel, cleaned it and put it back together, but problem persist.
All 4 balls and pins where there and the watch is clean to.
Tried to hard reset it but problem still persist.
About the watch:
Sm-r760
One ui 1.0
Tizen 4.0.0.4
Software r760xxu2esf2
Hope someone got a good idea.
Never tried... no idea yet...

The bezel includes 8 magnets to work like a quadrature incremental encoder.
The magnets may be got demagnetized somehow. Say, the previous owner was put into a MRI scannrer with the watches or lived for a long time in a transformer box.
There's nothing you can do about it, just replace the bezel. Or the magnets, if you manage to.
