Hiya!
I dropped my darling nexus 5 in the sink yesterday. I got it up after maybe 1 second and it was working as normal. After some hours it started rebooting and when I plugged the charger in (I now know how stupid that was) the touch stopped working altogether. I put it in rice over the night and this morning I started to disassemble it and removed the battery and cleaned the inside with a soft toothbrush. I have now ordered a new battery but I'm afraid that since the touch stopped working when I plugged the charger in I have caused some permanent damage. What do you think? And if the touch is still unresponsive when I put the new battery in, what part of the phone is damaged?
Your should have put it in the rice for two days before you tried anything else. At this point there could be any part our multiple parts fried. No one will be able to tell you what is wrong. Time for a new phone

Buying new parts is a fools errand. You'll be wasting your money.

Yep. End up spending more on parts than the phone is worth and still having to put it together yourself.

LOL. Been there many times man. Your phones toast. Save yourself the money and the headaches and just get a new one. I don't know if googles still doing the one time replacement deal but it's worth calling them and asking. A cracked screen is a lot different from water damage but with the right CSR they might hook you up. If not it's time to start drinking cheap beer for a while.

Well I switched from an iPhone 4 to the Nexus S (Nexus S is better) but I used a micro-sim adaptor but when I took it out one day it took a pin with it. I called Samsung and they said they don't do repairs like that so where in Canada can I get this repaired? I would love any advice. Thanks!
- Ryan
Same crap happened to me. But I guess I got a little lucky cuz only half of the pin broke off, the other half I just bent up so it would touch the sim when it was put in. Worked for me. Idk if yours came off completely or partially like mine did

Well one of the pins is shorter and one is completely missing so I guess I was not as lucky as you haha. Do you think I could take it to somewhere like Best Buy and just pay to repair it? Or will I have to go to a speciality cell phone repair place?
Maybe try calling Samsung again that's f'ed up they can't repair there own product

The person on the phone said as long as it's not physical damage they can fix it for free... which is ridiculous if you ask me because most people on this forum could fix any non-physical damage on the Nexus.
They told me to go to Rogers for some reason to get it repaired even though I said I got the phone as a gift and it was not from Rogers. I guess I'll try calling them again to see if I can get anyone more helpful.

Well after a long time of playing with it I manage to get the phone to read my sim by putting strips of tin foil on the contacts on the sim card. Disappoints me that I have to do this though and now the phone has no resale value.
I just got mine spoiled after returning from a holiday I've tried putting the copper thing back in place and slotting it back but it doesn't work. Now i have to wait till tomorrow to call Samsung support in hope that they will fix it if i pay money because my device has no warranty because it is from Australia and i'm using it in Singapore. Will they accept it to fix it if i pay for the repair?
And can anyone who used aluminium foil or anything to make it work post photos or videos on how to do it? I have no experience in soldering and stuff (15 years old) and i dont know how much foil to put there. Please help me!

I had similar problem with my Nexus S. I just went to Carphonewarehouse and told them that my sim is not being registering. They have fixed it for free but it took nearly 3 week.

Your post is kind of contradictory. You say they wont fix it for free. That suggests that YES they will fix it, but not for free. Which makes total sense, since you physically broke the phone yourself. That's not covered under warranty.
But then you go on to say they told you to talk to Rogers. Your post is very confusing.
Rogers is a carrier. If you have some sort of damage plan or replacement coverage they may help you. Otherwise, at best, they're just going to send it Samsung in the first place. More likely, they won't touch it.
Your options are to try to repair it yourself, try a local shop, or try Samsung again. I seriously doubt that they wouldn't repair it, for $$$.
Or get a 3rd party warranty. Although, that would be pretty unethical and possibly illegal, filing a claim for damage that occurred before you signed up for the plan.

If Ashurion is out of stock of your phone, they will replace it with another 4g phone if you ask.
My brother's Fascinate broke a couple months ago, they replaced it with a brand new Droid X2 just a week after it came out.
I'd recommend aiming for the Bionic.
Good luck
The bright side is that the Bears won!

Honestly, asurion is gonna charge you 90 bucks to replace it.
And a new digitizer is only 30. I have gotten ripped off by asurion too many times.
I can't believe people still pay for insurance. It's a scam and way too expensive for the service they provide.

Ok paying 8 bucks a month is better than paying 600 if you break or lose your phone.

Plus deductible. If you drop a phone and truly break it, it's probably because you didnt have a proper case on a $600 item. But most breaks occur to the digitizer....$30 and extremely easy to fix. Your local mom and pop computer shops will throw those things in for you for less than your deductible.
I'm not trying to knock anyone for paying for insurance...but those companies aren't in it to lose money. And everyone forgets about their warranty. We've sent a couple phones back for repairs and get them back within 3 days of HTC receiving them.
But losing a $600 phone...well that would be the only good thing I can see coming out of it. But cmon...if you lose a $600 phone from being careless ya kind of get what you deserve. Laptops cost less than that now. Gotta hold yourself to some kind of responsibility.
Well, I got my replacement, all is well. Sure, 99 sucks, but got to keep the battery and memory card, so now I have two of each, put the memory card in my flyer.

If you weren't a Bears fan, I would be deeply saddened by this, but the Buccaneers fan in me laughs out loud.
j/k...bummer your screen broke. Glad you got your replacement already!
Well now that you got your replacement phone, this would be a good time for you to do one of those screen replacement kits so that you have a backup phone and then you might decide to even drop your insurance on your current phone to save $$$.
You don't get to keep the old phone, you have to send that back. Otherwise, definately would have fixed the screen and kept as back up.
How hard would it be to replace the charging port on the phone? Mine is on the brink of death and a whole new phone isnt exactly in the card right now so I thought about just replacing the charging port, but I dont know what all would go into it.

Replacing it wouldn't be that hard for someone with some skills with small electronics. If you or a friend have those skills should be pretty painless. If not use that link that eellio sent you or find a repair shop in your area.

I thought about telling about an external charger but that wont help you with hooking your phone to the computer......same port :-/.....and if its going bad.....

That was my reason for looking to get it fixed. I have pretty good soldering skills and I woulndt attempt it.
Juls if they will warranty it I would go that route. I figured it was out of warranty.
Side note, has anybody attempted to get mobile odin ported to the sgs4g? That would do away with the need for a cable.
The mobile Odin will only work if you don't Odin back to a non rooted stock.....must have root to use it .....I looked into it and will eventually let it run its 30 min long log to hand in for a request for our device
Juls, here's the eBay link for the batteries. These are the same ones I bought a few months ago

If you went with insurance I hope you told them you lost phone? By doing this it allows you to keep your phone for parts or even use it as a tester phone so you can try to flash risky stuff without worrying about being left with a dead device you will have spare. Hope you understand what I'm saying. If you say phone has problem you pay 130 and ship back your phone to them. If you already told them there was an issue and they want phone back wait a day call them back and say the phone is now lost
NOT stolen this way the phone can't be locked out hope this helped

I have not tried after I received the phone but have called a day after I put in claim and no problems. It's worth a shot I mean it could really happen. I always tell them I lost it why should I pay 130 to give my phone away and then they fix cheap and sell it high. Even if the device is broken there are still good parts that you or someone else could use
Side note you can put old phone on ebay and probably get at least 100 dollars to help cover the insurance cost.

I should of seen that coming. But who is screwing who, as phone company charges 600 for device then they require a 2 year contract and phone is only warrantied for one year so you buy insurance at 10 a month for 24 months another 240 we are now at 840 plus when phone breaks you pay another 130 for a grand total of 970, and you get a refurbished device. Do what you want. I am not condoning fraud but for that price I'm keeping my original phone. Ins company are nothing but legal scam artists

If you pay 600 bucks for a device on contract then you are doing it wrong. I paid right at 400 for the phone and car dock OUT of contract.
I understand what your saying, however it is insurance fraud. I disagree with people doing this and will speak up every time. Plus Im sure your comment and my replies will be reported to a mod and get this thread either locked or them removed. Because xda doesnt condone this and doenst allow these type of conversations.
Food for thought, if you are caught doing this it can also cause you to be non insurable as well as criminal charges or for however long the insurance company feels necessary to report you as a risk for fraudulent claims when attempting to get insurance in the future.

I agree with you and understand where you are coming from, but it makes me wonder...
If you were to flash your device and hard brick it, and you have insurance. Would you call Tmobile and say "I rooted my phone and was attempting to load third party firmware on it when I messed up and my device will no longer turn on."?
Or would you simply say your device does not turn on anymore?

I sat for three days with a semi hard bricked Droid X that I got the day after they released. I was about to buy a new phone when moto's version of odin was leaked and I was able to restore it. I also thought my Optimus V was beyond restoration and after hours and hours of tinkering got it back alive. I had paid for insurance from best buy and thought about using it but personally I couldnt do it.
So to answer I wouldnt even call them. I would start saving to replace the phone. I broke it I have to eat it.
Those numbers were meant to be general speaking but that is just my opinion I'm done with this topic

I've had this shift since january.
This is the first time I've had this issue.
It's happened a couple of times now, and I got really scared.
The screen would just not turn on, but all the other lights would.
It's happened across multiple roms too.
Is there a quick fix I can do? I don't feel like taking it to sprint because I know they'll update me and whatnot and I dont feel like dealing with all of that rooting mess lol
and yes, I do have TEP so that's not a problem.
Also, if I take it there, will they give me sh!t for not having the stock battery and try to blame my extended battery for the problem?

What it sounds like is that the Flex Cable has worn out, and cracked. Do you hear a crunching noise when you slide the Keyboard open, or closed ? If you have TEP there are some third party places that will repair it for you. They usually just charge you around $20 - $30 dollars. The third party retailers in my experience do not care if you are Rooted, or not. Just make sure you choose a reputable one.
