Hi,
On my new captivate there is a thing (looks like a connector) near the sim card, i thinked it was a n antenna connector, so i picked up a wire and connected it to the center of the connector an i dont have signal since that.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks, netpok
Why would you do that? Sounds like you may have shorted something. Time for a call to repair.
the main problem is that im living in hungary
i dont now how can i arrange the repairing
any ideas?
I think you are referring to the gps antenna but you probably shorted something
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Absolutely no idea.
Gonna have to send it to Samsung repair. And to prevent the next question no it will not be covered by warrenty. Depending on the closest repair center to you. I have to agree.......Why would you do that?
That means, at now i have a really expensive pda.

Hello
Has anyone got any ideas on how to remove the back cover on the Photon Q 4G? I want to know if I can remove the SIM and replace with my 'foreign' SIM. I did research and found that the SIM is embedded under the battery, but in order to get to that you need to still get to the battery.
Please help.

I was curious of this myself so I took my Photon Q apart right now for you and no it does not has a removable sim it soldered to the board and covered and enclosed in the board meaning you can't get to it with out breaking the Mother Board.
btw Im a Certified repair technician in a Sprint store...just so you know im not just some punk kid

What gives you the right to say what they are or are not? If all you're looking to do is promote your thread which to me is all this looks like I'll happily remove any posts like this. Leave your opinions about other members out of your posts.

Guys,
My power button had spoilt, had given to a local shop for repair. That got fixed. but after I got the cell back, I am getting very poor to no reception at all. 3G is also not working. Tried everything, flashed a new rom (7.8) too. Still no fix.
Please help me, I dont want to change my phone
Update:
On changing mode to GSM all through Diagnostic app, I am not getting any network at al!!
BUMP! Please any suggestions
That might be the sign of poor re-assembly or that something has been affected in your phone.
Has the back plate of your phone also been changed? I got a cheap replacement for mine and with it I get 2 bars less than the original one.

Hi
I recently discovered those pink dots on the front camera when taking pictures in low light.
Is there a fix for this or do I need to get a replacement?

So they can't actually deny you warranty unless they can prove that rooting the phone caused the problem.

Thank you! Do you think they replace the phone or repair it?
I will do a twrp backup and flash back to stuck.
If they replace the phone, will I be able to flash recovery from this phone?
Thanks in advance
Repair, they might even try to charge you but you have to be firm and point them to your rights

Well never tried, that they wanted charge.
Damn it, rather wanted a replacement as I then would be able to exchange it for the edge. U should if course pay the rest of the price.
I had the same problem. I had to send it back to Samsung. It was repaired under warranty.
Same problem here. Will being sending back also

Yes, i know. Most of the time they repair it even if its rooted. Like huawei did, and saturn did too. On my friends phone it was rooted and Samsung repaired it!

You can send it in a package. Oh, and you can send it directly to acer. All the shop does is sending it to acer.

Well, then you have these options
- Fix it yourself (Oh boy)
- Pay for an repair service ( On hard bricked devices the mainboard is broken)
I would say fixing it yourself costs arround 75€. Let someone else fix it maybe 100€, so think about it... Im sorry for you. I bricked my phone last week too.

i already open it up, my guess is that theres something that makes the motherboard not start, i hope its just something that got disconected, if not ill just buy a laptop(with touchscreen), and dualboot with android, more simple and better

Yes. (Or buy a Shield! It has enough custom roms, has all sort of Twrp versions, has great preformance and stock is always uptodate!
Btw you remember when i said i was working on Lineage? I can tell you one thing: I booted to android 6! Well, i used others work, but hey! (For everyone reading it, no i am not going to relase it in the near future.)
