Hello guys and girls,
I want to ask if someone else have problem like me. When touching phone in left side and push it from up and back its like clicking, only on left side. Its like knocks and display moving. When I remove back cover and remove battery. Inside is like a scratch or cracky. Interesting thing is that I never dropped this phone. And its in silicon case from 2nd day. I bought it 1 month ago or so. Any idea if its a problem and can I use warranty for this?
Thanks for time and help
I think your phone is broken..
Go to the store where you bought your fone..
Maybe you get it fixed.
I hope that your fone is endured!
Thanks for your reply, any other opinions? I heard some other peoples have same problems.
Hi everybody,
today ain't a good day for me.
My phone just smashed accidentally onto the road, after it had slipped from my hands. I was on the second floor (about 6 meter).
SBAM.
The impact was terrible, as you can see in the photos.
The "SAMSUNG" sign was completely turned into smithereens, and the fragments of glass were arrived up to the mainboard.
Despite that, I am trying to repair it.
I have just disassembled the entire device and I am planning to buy the front panel (+ lcd).
The question is: how can I know if the device still works ? Any idea?
What would you suggest?
I suggest you save money for a new phone..
You post make me sad
I don't believe, that you will find somebody that would be brave to check if this stuff still work. As you have on above post, the cheaper will be to buy new one... :fingers-crossed:
thank you all.
ARGH...I know, it's a pity, this wasn't supposed to happen
I'll save money for a new phone, yeah. I believe I don't have other choises (buying a new lcd is too expensive).
Thank you again, fellows!
well damn......that makes me sad and I have to say i dropped mine a lot of times,i have even trown it when i was angry but i can say that a few side scratches and back case scratched is all that's on it...lucky I used my momax case i guess.still i don't recommend it if you guys want to keep your back phone case free of scratches
i think is cheaper to buy a new smartphone than to repair and/or replace the screen
so sad:crying:
Bury him

This is the end for phone, better to save some money and buy something like galaxy nexus.

the screen will cost quite abit if im not mistaken. not worth the trouble as well. just get a new phone
Also, are you sure that the screen is the only thing that's broken? A drop from that height is more than enough to break the motherboard.

90 dollar for a replacement screen. But I guess that's just the front glass, you also broke the back.
Ye, a galaxy nexus seems fine, or maybe a motorola defy+ if you want something cheaper, it's just 200 now, almost the same specs as the galaxy s and it's meant for heavy use as you still see the screws...Seeing the damage you can cause, it's probably fit for you.
I want to put the Nexus 5 under the Christmas tree for myself (since no one else is going to do it ;_. Specially now, when they ceased manufacturing them and thus the supply is drying out quick.
I really like the specs, but then i read the threads here: bootloop, died during charging, won't turn on, bootloop, dead, bootloop, water sticker turning red by itself.. and so on..
Is the N5 really so fragile and prone to failures? I'm on a tight budget here, so i can't just buy another one, if this one dies on me in couple of months for no good reason.
What are your experiences? Ever had any problems with yours? Ever had to send it in for repairs?
N5 seems like a perfect fit for me (bar the tiny battery life and nonoled screen), but i don't want to just buy it blindly.
Thanks.
The majority of issues you are mentioning were caused by user error. ?
The N5 is a great device at its price. Just do lots of reading and learning before doing anything.... And you'll avoid most the issues you brought up. ?

Read any device forum on xda. They're all like that. Lol

You should. After Philips Diga, Siemens C35, SE T28, Nokia 3110, Nokia 3310, Nokia 6310i (a phone when we didn't even know what SOT is and also didn't care because the battery was never empty), SE K750i, SE K790i, SE K810i, SE C902i, SE C905i, HTC Legend (just for few days), SE X10i, SE Arc S, Sony Xperia S - I'm finally happy now. After Nexus 4 I owned Nexus 5 and it is almost Camasutra if Google didn't screw some things up with the Lollipop. I'm also happy to see some grown up person here, because I have to buy even Philips Diga by my self.
You have to take everything to read on xda (and the internet in general) with a pinch of salt...
You won't get the same number of equivalent positive threads because the sole use of the internet is for complaining lol. And many of the complaints are either over the tiniest OCD detail, or nothing to do with the phone and user error blaming everything without actually investigating the cause...
The phone is still a great device in spite of all the negativity you read. Hope it gives you a merry xmas!
No

I have never had any problems. The nexus 5 is the best phone I have ever owned. It sure will be supported for the next update too! If I were you get one before its too late!

Okay, thanks everyone, i'm doing it.
It's a bummer about the no fm radio thing but the specs are just too good to pass on it.
I also have clumsy fingers, so the n5 will be kissing the ground a lot. Will the spigen protective case be enough to counteract my clumsiness?

Get the nexus 6
I just bought myself one for 90....almost when for lg g2 bc of bigger battery and better screen to phone ratio but i think i'll be sticking with you ppl..
The N5 is still one of the best phones on the market over a year later. Get it.

Hello everyone,
I came from a Z1, the mic started malfunctioning and I could only be when using handsfree on it.
So I ordered a Z3 from my carrier, got it shipped by mail. When I received it, the SIM/SD card flap wouldn't close properly, so I phoned customer service and got a replacement Z3 mailed to me. The next one I got (received it 3 days ago) looked fine, until today when I took it out of my front pocket. I heard a poping sound, I had earphones plugged into it. I could see the back glass starting to come off. I'd say whole top left 1/4 of the phone is not glued on anymore.
I really liked the Z1 and the Z3 as well as features and look go, but I am now getting unsure about getting this phone. Am I just unlucky and got two poorly built units, or are they mostly all bad?
JF
You're not the only one, no. My sister bought a Z3 and the left side of the back panel (looking at the back) is not properly attached either, and is flexed outwards. After a small amount of use its to the point now where it is sort of flapping about and she needs to use a case.
My girlfriends Z3 went into a small amount of fresh water to take one picture and moments later the screen went black and died completely. After a few minutes googling i found many other people having the same issues with the Z3's.
Just bad luck bud, get it exchanged while you can. Carriers can be real douche after 7 days or whatever depending your location.
Nothing wrong with my z3 even though its second hand. *fingers crossed*
Just got my 3rd Z3, this one the flaps look fine, the back glass seems glued correctly and it passes the pressure test... The downside is, the box was sealed when I got it, but it was missing the screen protectors. Oh well... just my luck. I'll peel off the ones from the previous one before I ship it back, until I order some new ones.

Xperia Z3 dosent come with screen protectors, so this is not a flaw.
Also you was just unlucky. I bought mine one month ago, i hadnt a single problem with it so far.

It may be.
The first two Z3's I got had screen protectors included in the box. The last one didn't...
Anyway, the last Z3 will go back as it is no longer working. Over the weekend, I was at a friend's batchelor party and we were doing indoor surfing. I was filming him from aside and the phone took a few water splashes, and the display started flickering and died within a few minutes. I am terribly dissapointed in this phone. I really enjoyed my Z1, with all it's glitches and freezing. The Z3's performance was great, it seems it's just the build quality. I had bough my wife a Z3 a few months ago, as she likes water sports and she liked how I could use my Z1 at the beach/lake, but now she is scared of even getting some rain on her's, and we can't return it for another one since we're over the buyer's remorse period.
It's a shame there are no other waterproof phones out there (besides Samsungs).

Buy SAMSUNG and do with that indoor surfing.
Now that's some really bad luck. I heard the Z3 is less than perfect when it comes to build quality but this is just insane. Mine works well and is waterproof but has a dead pixel (I think it's covered under warranty but I don't feel like going to the service center). I hope you get one that works. Other than that if you want something with less than flagship specs there are plenty of rugged phones to choose from. Buy one of those for watersports and buy a different flagship for daily use. I heard the Samsung S6 is supposed to be pretty good.

Chill, I was just giving OP my point of view. He seems to be very disappointed with Sony but he wants a waterproof phone, his best option is to buy a rugged phone for watery outdoors and a different flagship for daily dry use. I like my Z3 more than the S6, but if my Z3 were to suddenly explode and make me get buyer's remorse I would most likely buy the S6 which is the second best phone on the market after Z3 imo.

Ok, no problem.
I think I'll keep the Z1 around for watersports. It still runs fine, the only problem is the mic is busted on it. I was thinking of using it with a sports band to put on my forearm and use as a GPS while riding my motorcycle. I'll just get a regular, non-waterproof phone instead.
I've had a Galaxy S4 in the past. The hardware is great, but I don't like the UI and all the software they load it with. I might look into the M9, since it seems like the one of the last ones with SD card support. Anyone has comments on it?

Been having terrible luck with the Galaxy S8+, but I still love it and it's a great phone. When I first got the phone in October of 2017, the phone lasted for a few months then I had some pixel damage appear. Samsung covered it under warranty, so I got my screen totally replaced, then I dropped my phone about 3 weeks later looking for something in the garage and shattered my screen. As I mentioned, I've had really bad luck with this phone, but I still enjoy it.
My question is: Has anyone else had the pixel damage? If so, when and did you get it fixed under warranty? Interested in your feedback.
Thanks

As in what kind of damage. As in burn In. I have a bit on mine. I got my screen used and it was burnt just a bit when I got it. Burn in can happen on OLED type displays as time goes on. I replaced my screen as I dropped mine and cracked the outer glass. But I did my own work as well
