Replaced the LCD full screen assembly on my LG G2, all went smooth following a YT video couldn't really have gone wrong, Switched phone on and battery displayed 0% for several minutes, eventually getting to 2% when I turned it on, all was still OK, however it dropped to 0% within a few minutes...

Big problem, my lad has a LG G2 and for Christmas I have bought him Sony MDR-ZX330BT, I have a pair of these headphones myself so when I borrowed my lads LG G2 to use in the gym with my headphones they didnt pair. Then I made the grim discovery that LG G2 is riddled with BT issues, and to top...

I did read the processor was fast but both my S1's are still snappy as hell so I doubt I would see a difference anyway I think the 2 side by side are too close to warrant an upgrade from S1 to S2 was more my point, i am disapointed that I have to wait till S3 for a worthwhile upgrade I wont...

Why bother releasing a 2 version if its no better than the 1??? Just looked at the spec for both 8.0 and 9.7 and its pretty much identical to the 8.4 and 10.5 apart from the weight of the 10.5 has been reduced somewhat due to it being a smaller screen, woopdeedoo!! I was expecting something...

I have just ordered a new screen assembly from Ebay at £169, mine is the 10.5 4 G and I have seen how much these sell for and it far exceeds £169, so if you are handy with a screwdriver and wangle tool I would recommend it.

Will have these 2 devices next week after both are repaired, been quite a few months since I last had both The Gear S would not connect to the Tab S so am wondering if anyone has been able to get this working, Think from memory the best solution I found was renaming the build proc?? If that...

Hi I am looking at buying a replacement of eBay but I was told a while back by a repair shop that there are 4 types of screen for the t805 model, they did fix it first time I broke the screen and said they would never repair one again, I wondered if obtaining the right screen was the hardest...

We have some Tizen fans in our midst who don't like the OS to be slated in any way.... As an OS mind it does do what it does very well, and I guess these people are happy with it being very limited, I like you want to unlock it's true potential and make it standalone, Samsung have annoyed me...

Admin request, sorry brain fart alert, would you be very kind and move this to the Gear S Smartwatch Q&A Cheers

Does anyone know if replacement screens are available for this device, I think it may just be the glass that has smashed if that makes any difference? Looking like around £200 on eBay but hoping there's are chance of fixing myself for cheaper Any help is much appreciated

@ cipherswitch Tizen is as I see it an intentionally crippled OS with extremely limited functionality, compared to Android that is.....smacks of iOS which is many years behind Android I had Gear 1 with Null ROM and was happy with the fact that whatever I wanted or needed it to do then some cat...

I am bitterly disapointed with my Gear S, unsure if all my flack should be flung at Tizen or Samsung but fact is, I am getting virtually no use from my Gear S I have a Tab S 10.5 LTE which it does not connect to, so using it standalone with no features. I should not have to use a different...

Can anyone please tell me if there are any limitations as to what Mice you can plug into an Android phone\tablet I have the Galaxy S 105 and have just purchased a USB Wireless Mouse, I have also purchased the micro USB adapter so I can plug in the mouse receiver Cheers for your help Lee

Can I please ask, if someone calls your note 4 or whatever phone you have connected to your gear s does the call still come though to your watch I use gear 1 with tab 10.5 s 4G and use this as my phone so u can understand why I use gear 1 to take calls, with gear s I would still like people to...

So it seems I do not have a RIL, used term emulator to enter >>> "gsm.version.ril-impl" and get following /system/bin/sh: gsm.version.ril-impl: not found

Er, OK, I lied The saga continues I have put a data sim into phone and i cant text or receive data No access point names are entered and this is auto done via my provider Is this normal that a custom rom needs to be manually setup for a network??

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Persistence paid off, installed busy box and ran term emulator, followed the steps, then entered code, now unlocked!!!!! I hope I never go through anything like that ever again, talk about...
