I don't hear any sound on mine. It could be a hardware problem, its better to visit a service center and ask them for a fix

If you bought the phone used and it still has the warranty, then the service repair will help you. If not, then you are out of luck and you will have to fix it through some third party service.
I can't really say anything about the sound you hear, because my phone has never had it. About the Nougat upgrade, I've had nougat from day 1 which was just over a month ago and thank god I have't had the issue. No one can say which phones are affected and which aren't because we haven't had an official statement from Google or LG so far.
I hope that answers all your questions.

Giving away my Qtek9090

Hi there,
I wanted to upgrade my Qtek 9090. But i dropped it on the floor and now the screen turned white, but it still reacts on touch it. I dont know what is wrong with it, and i dont want to open is. Thus i want to make somebody very happy with it.
There is only a catch. I live in the Netherlands and i don't want to invest in sending the thing off to somewhere in the world unless somebody will send me something in return.
So my question is who want to invest in sending something back for this phone? And will have the honor to do so?
The phone will come with the usb-cradle, adapter and the phone of course.
So let's see what you guys will send me in return. Most original reply wins!

Hi
I´m really interested as I can re start working again with that wonderfull device
Hope you can consider me
Thanks!
Sell it on eBay, I'm sure someone will buy it.
if its available
If you have paypal I'd be more than willing to send the money to ship it. Would use it to help development and porting for other devices. If someone has a need to use it as an actual phone that would obviously take precedence. If you happen to choose to send it my way just PM me and I'm sure to check it throughout the day.
Generous gesture to whoever you choose to send the device to! Great community we have here!
i may be interested in it too, second phone will speed up my development process

XeneRoX it's not my idea to get money for this phone. It served me perfectly and i've got enough HTC phones to keep me busy.
As I said in my first post: I want to make somebody happy with it, but if i invest my time and money in sending the device i want something in return. Dont think in big expansive stuff but original or something different.
To give u an idea what i mean with original. My girlfriend came up with the idea that who ever receives my qtek will send me a photo of him and the family he settled with. Please note this is my first ever HTC device and is my "little" baby.
So please spark up those creativity thoughts and let me know what you came up with.
Oh almost forgot i wil post a picture of the phone tomorrow.
as much as i like your contest and i like that its another give away contest on the forum <something that i havent seen to any other forums so far?,i dont find a very good idea for people to send private infos to total strangers.on the internet
i dont want to imply anything bad and i think its nice that you dont wish to make any profit of it by selling it on ebay BUT when you said in the end of your post for whoever wins the phone to send you a photo of him once he receives the phone,that i thought it was too bit risky.
you see the thing with the internet is that anything can happen becouse you dont know who is who and you only see a chat name and thats all.so unless it has to do with online stores like ebay for eg i wouldnt recommend to people to send those kind of private infos to strangers like a photo of themshelfs for eg.
and then again sorry i did not try to insault you.its just the way i see it.
hello,
I'm Mihai from Romania, I'm having my master degree at the Economics University and I think it is a great phone, (you know like the german cars,it will last you forever).
In exchange for the phone I can give you a representation in wood of Count Dracula (from Bram Stoker novel Dracula) or if you like art I can make a photo album with my city Oradea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradea) all pictures made by me.I hope that you will be interested in the exchange.
Thanks,Mihai

In that case, here's my gift...
I'll take the phone around with me as I travel to different places and e-mail you pictures of the phone in different areas. (e.g, If I go to a lake I'll take a picture of it by the lake, if I go to vacation somewhere...)
I could even make a website with archives of everywhere the phone has visited.

I will ship the device, i will pay for shipping the device. So the only thing I ask is for the person to send me or do something original in return. As you said it will cost me 50 euro max 2 send it somewhere on this earth. So i dont know what your problem is with my proposition? And I will do it my way!
Please read my posts it clearly reads i will send the device to the person who wins (all costs included) and the only thing I ask is that somebody thinks about a original idea or gift and do/send something when they receive the device. I dont know where your trust issues are based upon but if you dont have anything good to say about my post, dont reply at all!

Well, i do have a bit of interest in this as well (my BA is beginning to come apart)...

[Q] sim connector broken

hi guys
i have a big problem...my nexus doesnt recognise my sim anymore.
i have opened it and i can see that one of the 3 sim connector is broken.
do you know a online shop where i can find a replacement for the sim slot ?
or do you know a workaround ?
thx
Same EXACT issue here.. are these pins really fragile or what??
Also, a quick update. I brought this to a store in NY and they said that on each of the 3 rows, that make contact with the SIM, there are 2 pins that make contact. If both are broken (like in my case), they need to replace the whole SIM port because they can't solder the lower pin as the heat will do damage. If it's only the top (longer copper looking pin), than they may be able to fix it.
I am going to get another opinion this Friday and I'll update here. Otherwise, I am seeing if Samsung UK can send me parts or give me a quote to send the phone in for service, but it might not be worth all the money and may have to sell it.
Let me know how you make out if you have any updates!
Thanks!~
Sim connector/tray part
I have the same problem with my Galaxy Nexus...not too sure if the nexus s uses the same part but I ordered from a site called tanstartrade (.ca) and the connector looks similar to what is on the Galaxy Nexus.
have you guys found any resolution to this? broke a pin off with the help of a sim adapter :facepalm:
You checked "yes this is a question"
Guess where it belongs

So did they fix it for you? I have a broken pin as well.
I'm curious how you are all breaking pins. I have swapped sim cards lots of times (I was testing three carriers at one point) and I was decently rough in doing so. All my sims were normal size sims. Were those of you with broken pins wedging micro sims or using adapters?

Bingo Though in my case, I broke it trying to get it back OUT. I just stupidly assumed that the phone company would send me the proper-sized sim when I told them which phone I had, so I tried to put it in the only way it looked like it would fit. Then again, I am about as mechanically inclined as a monkey, and tend to break things easily
Yeah go with RussianBear's suggestion and mail it to FL.
Im not affiliated with them and havent tried them but I guess they charge around $50 to fix. Locally you might find a place to fix it as well. GL in getting it fixed .
If its a google play store model, Samsung USA should fix it for you free of charge.

Same thing here. Just got the nexus and still had the stupid micro Sim adapter from one s... Needless to say,i was pissed. The seller turned out to be a great guy though, helped me out a bit.
They did charge me about 50, but i didn't have to pay for return shipping (priority). I'll recommend this shop to anyone from now on not affiliated with them in any way, except for them doing a great repair job lol

Do you really think they will? I sent a message to Google, who referred me to Samsung for warranty support:
(Forum won't let me post link)
On that site, it says:
If your Device is defective through no fault of your own, you have up to fourteen (14) days from the date the Device is delivered (the "Advanced Replacement Period") to contact Samsung customer care at (855) 392-6398 regarding a replacement Device under the Samsung Advanced Replacement Process.
Since this was obviously my fault, and I'm not going to lie to them and tell them it just showed up this way, I didn't even bother to call and ask.
Just an update... I sent my phone off to the Hassle Free repair place. Apparently, they have one tech (a female) who is the only one that can do these repairs, and they claim she has been sick in bed for over a week now. They've been very responsive to inquiries, so I'm hoping they'll get it fixed eventually.
Will let ya'll know how it ends up.

About 12 days after I sent the phone in, I got a call from Crystal using my phone, saying they had fixed the phone, and apologizing profusely for the delay. After I made the Paypal payment, they sent it off the very next day. Phone arrived 2 days later... SIM card slot looks brand new, and phone works great
So I'd definitely recommend them, but I'd also check in advance if you're in a hurry, and make sure the repair person isn't on vacation or something, since there seems to be only one of her.
thanks for the good feedback guys... we really appreciate your business and feedback as we strive to give you the best repair we can give...
@worknman.. thank you for your patience, we actually had a family emergency and had gone to ohio for a few months to help out and were doing the repairs there. not being used to the weather i came down with a horrible case of sinusitis and really was bedridden for a bit over a week. again i do thank you for your patience and i hope you were more than satisfied.
as for our shop we do have 2 techs but only one that is capable of doing board level soldering properly. i take great pride in doing a perfect job so if theres a chance to keep the warranty intact, my repair will go unnoticed.(worked and was trained by samsung so i know how they solder so its easy for me to replicate) we have 25 years total repair experience and we are guaranteed to not be a "you tube" shop where we watch a video and think we know everything.... i was trained by samsung, motorola, nokia, audiovox...
bottom line is we do things right the first time.... hope to help anyone in need.... i promise you wont be disapointed...

Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Speaker Noise When Volume Muted

I'm just making this thread in the hope that this is a fixable problem, so here goes...
If I mute the tablet by lowering the volume until it is off and then play music or a youtube video, or indeed anything else that would normally result in sound through the speakers, I can hear a quiet noise that sounds a little bit like an old 56k modem trying to connect, sort of squelchy chirps and tweets.
I can recreate this every time, so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, did you find a workaround or a fix? I found a thread on another forum where others were having the same problems here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-pro-8-4-random-noise-coming-out-speaker.html
It's easy to test, just go to youtube via your browser or the android app and play a video that has sound with your volume as low as it'll go.
Thanks!

I'm going to speak to Samsung later, I'll let you know what they say. Hopefully there will be a software fix.
I've spoken to Samsung, they are aware of the fault and are looking into it, but they say that it is a hardware fault and the tablets will need replacing. So back mine goes today for a replacement.

Interesting. I guess I'll try to return mine at Best Buy before my 15-day return period is up. Any clue if Best Buy checks to see if the warranty void flag has been tripped or do they generally just accept the return regardless?

Finally got my replacement, it seems to working ok, just a very faint hiss with my ear up against it, so all's good.
I returned mine to Best Buy, (almost) no questions asked. I'll probably wait a while before picking up a replacement. Probably won't get it again until a price drop on the device.
I have the same problem, looks like all the Tab Pro 8.4 suffer from it, it only appears when I open an app/game with sound and mute it. Will be best if we all call Samsung and make them to "report" this issue.

I bought it from sears because I had some points to spend. Took it back and reordered one from them 3 times.
First noticed this playing minecraft. Now it's all I hear and I really love this tablet. Ugh..
Edit: Returned to Best Buy. Pains me to do it but this is a killer issue.
I had beeen waiting for this tablet, Love the tablet but had to return it due to this issue. It's very loud in a quiet room.
I checked at store, even the display unit had the noise defect.
My replacement arrives next week but in the mean time I just taped over the speaker grilles... solves the issue completely. It does muffle the sound but I still find it loud enough that I don't notice the muted effect in daily use. Gaffers tape works well - almost no residue, tears perfectly straight, and has a nice fabric feel like hockey tape.

How to check that S7 active is fixed waterproof problem?

The first batch of S7 active have the waterproof problem. Samsung told that they fixed it in the second batch and replace first batch for free . So when we buy phone from ebay. How can we check that phone is fixed ? The date it was made or imei ?
Thank you you guys. Sorry for my English.
Very good question.
any news on this ??
as im looking to get one in the UK too !
I read some articles saying that it's not specific to any batch. The best strategy is to bring the phone underwater and see if it holds. Good news is that this phone is pretty new so even if you buy from Ebay, it sure is under warranty, as long as the phone is not on any blacklist. Samsung is getting quite good in customer service, at least in my experience. I bought an S7 active from Ebay which has serious scratches and re-booting issue. I called Samsung, sent the phone to them and around a week later, they send back with new main board, new screen and essentially everything new. No more scratches!
thats some great news cppc
are you in the UK too ? if so, which eBayer did you use ? and which samsung contact did you use ?
and lastly, did samsung question how you got the phone etc ?? ..

No I'm in the US. I just called the Samsung support contact on their website. They didn't ask me for proof of purchase, just the IMEI. They did, however, ask me to stop by Bestbuy first as they have a specialized technician there to see if that guy can help fix the issue. Since that guy couldn't help, they sent me the shipping label to send the device to them. In the end I didn't have to pay anything

RMA Question

If RMA a VZW Pixel 3 XL through Google, will they send me a Google Store version back?
Unfortunately there is no real way to determine what they will do. My suggestion would be to return the phone, then order a carrier unlocked phone.

No because as soon as you give them the IMEI number they'll know it didn't come from the Google Store and they won't RMA at all. You'll have to return it at Verizon.

I gave Google the IMEI and they gave me the option of either using Verizon or Google. I decided to use Google in the hopes of potentially getting an unlocked Google Store version as a replacement.

I got the confirmation email that my old device was received today and that they sent out another unit. They also gave me the IMEI which i checked out at a few sites, but I didn't see any indication of whether it was a Google Store variant or not. Is there a good way to check somewhere? Otherwise I just have to wait until Thursday when I get it back.

I don't know of a way you can check with your IMEI number. I am anxious to hear what model you get though. What did you RMA for?

I was having issues with the mic. Whenever i called someone the heard static real bad with what sounded like feedback or a high pitched whining noise. Issue persisted whether i used the buds provided or while on speaker. Bluetooth had no issues though.
Fingers crossed that it is Store version, but I'll settle for better call quality.

If RMA a VZW Pixel 3 XL through Google, will they send me a Google Store version back?

Why would you want a Google Store version back? You bought a VZW model right?

Why didn't you just buy a Google version to begin with?

Oh got it. You bought the Verizon version on some kind of deal and now you want the Google version so you can avoid the couple of hundred bucks it might cost you to bl unlock? Help us out here, spell it out.

No. I didn't get it on some sort of deal. I don't qualify for synchrony financing because i filed for bankruptcy last year. I got laid off the same time my wife had a brain aneurysm and the bills got out of control. Now we live an expensive part of Denver so our kids can actually go to a decent school with better peers. I work two jobs, my wife one, and i am a full-time student. So yeah. I bought it from Verizon because I've been in good standing with them and didn't have to put money down. Life happens. Tired of people taking crap about buying through them. If I could, i would have got out through Google. Maybe i will be able to next year or the year after that.
coolhandz, I appreciate your honesty here. Sorry if you felt like I was giving you crap.
I'm actually a bankruptcy attorney. You could probably find out where with a very simple Google search. I hope your post-BK life is going well. Please send me a PM if I can help out with any advice about rebuilding credit or something else.

Call quality is much improved. New device is a Verizon. A bit bummed. I'll continue to hope that a root method is found amd maybe next year I'll get the Google version.
Question, would you guys RMA for what might be a speck on the inner lense rim?
It's not affecting photos but i just noticed it today and i'm not sure if it's a dirt particle or if it's part of the lense \rim housing under the glass...
