Samsung :: F480 Tocco - Phone Get Wet / Not Power Up But Very Warm
Jan 18, 2010
I am having problem with F480 Tocco. My wife put it through washing machine. I put it in ultrasonic bath and then isopropanol. It will not power up but gets very warm.
I have been given a faulty Samsung Tocco F480 if I can fix it, its mine basically. It starts up fine, screen display is crystal clear, it vibrates when starting and plays the startup tone but the touch screen will not function at all. The person who gave me it took it a mobile repair shop and asked how much it would be for a new screen, £45 they quoted but he's unsure if that was for the LCD screen or touchscreen. They then looked at it and said it was water damaged and the motherboard/circuit board would need replacing too! Now I've had this phone to bits and the water mark indicators inside the Tocco casing as well as on the battery were both white so I dont think it is water damaged. I think it could just do with a new Digitalizer Touchscreen casing as if the circuit board was to fault surly the LCD screen or vibrate motion would be effected. I've done some reasearch and a lot of Samsung Tocco phones with similar probs like mine just need a new Digitalizer when the touchscreen isnt working and that works fine after.
I recently purchased a samsung SGH-F480. Thanks to this forum website I was able to enter the proper codes so it would work with my provider (At&t). However, the icon always shows as G network, and not 3G. Does anybody know what the problem is or/and how to fix it? My phone is 3G capable, so I know the phone should be able to do that. What can I do? Who is "in charge" of that: the phone or the service provider?
I have a problem with my Samsung F480.I want to change the default name of photos and videos (Photo) that I take with this mobile phone's camera !I searched through settings but I can't find such option!
When I try to send text messages, they sometimes end up in the Outbox, and I cannot send them on from there. This seems to happen mainly when the message has a photo attached.There is also a red letter "G" in a square which has appeared next to the signal indicator.Can anybody suggest a solution to this?
I have bought a Tocco lite a few days ago and I want to download some games from the Internet and install it in my phone but unfortunately when I download a game and transfer it to my phone it says ''unsupported file type.Waiting for some support from you.
Suddenly my Tocco started to play, when I press anything on the touch screen it registers the touch in completely different place, or doesn't at all. So, either you have to press ALOT of times to do anything or you just get angry and cannot do anything. I took it to local samsung store with my warranty, after a week I had it back and they said it was liquid damaged therefore you have to pay.What I though is, if it was liquid damaged (But I never remember to have any liquid on the phone, even a small bit) wouldent it be worse? Not just screen sensetivity. After looking on ebay I have found Digitizer with touch screen for Tocco, which costs 15 pounds. So my question is, would it solve the problem if I bought it and replaces, and if not, any way to sort it out without paying too much?
Listen a lot to my radio on my phone. The ear phones which I got with the phone broke the other day(one ear piece went mute to be more precise) Bought some new ear phone for my tocco and when I tried them I could not get a reception. When I do a search with new earphones in it wont pick up any stations, its just comes across as crackling through my ear phones. But when I put my old earphones back in and search it picks up all the stations no bother.
basically paid a website to get the unlock codes ,gave them the network the phone was on and the IMEI numbers, got the codes no problem about 4 days ago had not had time to put the codes in there still unused when all of a sudden today the phone went blank and froze after 5 mins it came back to life instead of dispaying Tesco mobile which the phone is locked to is said unlimited i thought great the websites unlocked it for me, i put an o2 sim in it came up o2 network thought great its worked then realised even tho the o2 sim is in the phone is still using the mobile numer from the tesco sim card how is this possible ? any ideas whats happened far as i knew u ordered the codes online they give you them then its up to you to install them, is it possible for the website to have done something? as i have not entered one single code into my phone all i did was send them the IMEI number and pay for it that was it never ever used the codes?
i was wondering if this is normal, i had my phone for like 3 weeks now since thanksgiving,after 10 minutes of use the top part of the screen where you listen to gets very warm and the back part where the camera does too, i was wondering how could i fix this and is my phone defected? i haven't tried any longer because i don't want my phone to fry up
After activating my Ultra Power Saving mode, I was able to deactivate, however my phone then went into a similar power saving mode, grey scale screen, no apps and no option to exit the mode available on any accessible parts of the settings. Is this a bug? or have I activated a mode I didn't intend to?
I had my Samsung SCH R451c hooked up to data USB cord and when I unplugged it it shut off, it continuously trys to power on but never does. I took the battery out, but no luck.
I was an Iphone user until last week when I started to use a black Xperia Z5 Compact. I had read that its Snapdragon 810 tends to get quite warm but reviews from media mostly stated that this was not an issue anymore.  I love the phone but the heat - unfortunately - does still seem to be an issue. Let me give you a couple of examples: When I play demanding games like Asphalt 8 both the back and the front of the screen get so warm that it is annoying. Most importantly: This happens also with a rather simple 2D-game called "Earn to die".Â
My 950 gets uncomfortably warm while steaming or downloading large files. The screen gets warm and I'm thinking that it can't be good for the phone. I think it might be my case holding the heat in. Gonna try it today without the case and see how warm it gets. I normally get a tpu case which I think can generally disperse heat better.
I just bought the device yesterday and it My gets warm (not hot) even when only using Google chrome. I also feel that the battery is draining fast when I'm using the device . I owned a Samsung Note 2 before and it never got warm even when I used it intensively.
Phone gets really warm sometimes? Sometimes when playing games (dinosaur games to be precise, I just watched Jurassic Park 3D) it gets warm, same when streaming Pandora.
When I lock my SGS II i would expect all the buttons to lock! However the power button function remain active and its far too easy to accidently power off my phone or set it into flight mode.Does anyone know how to disable this "feature" ??

When writing your question Occasionally the phone's screen will turn white. What I've noticed as that it typically happens after the phone shuts itself off. I don't know how it turns off, and it doesn't happen often, but occasionally I'll pull my phone out of my pocket and find that it's completely off. When I turn it back on it will boot all the way to the home screen without issues and then the screen will fade to white and stay that way. Pulling the battery does not fix the issue. All it does is kill the battery more than having the screen being all white and full power. Most recently it happened while I was navigating the Store in the Amazon Kindle program. Looking around I've seen conversations stating that the screen's going bad (which I doubt), the OS needs to be reinstalled (which I attempted through the Desktop Manager and I think I did it how I'm supposed to without wiping it with a 3rd party program), or that the phone is defective. My dad got the phone in November of 2008, and I got it when he decided to get an iPhone. I'm definitely a BlackBerry noob, so any suggestions (or requests for more information), would be appreciated. I've have noticed that reloading the OS stops the problem for about a week or so.I noticed recently is that the battery life seemed to be draining faster than I thought reasonable. For instance, on 50% (or so) charge, the phone would die after being in a call for about 45 minutes. So I ordered a new battery. Today, the phone got extremely warm (in the holster) and the battery drained to the yellow bar in about 3 hours. No programs that connect to the network (Twitter, Web Browser, Opera, Kindle, etc.) were running and I was not noticing the up/down arrows. This was on a full charge. When I plugged it into the wall, the battery seemed to charge extremely fast. It's only been charging for about an hour or so and it's nearly at full charge. This is not typical. I am out of warranty, have no insurance, and am not able to get a discount price on a new phone until July. I'm ready to downgrade to my old dumbphone.
Have new Atrix 4G and after 5 minutes of use the phone is getting real "warm" to the touch. Is any one having a problem with the battery in their Atrix phone overheating?
I was looking at the Samsung Data/Power connector, but I don't recognize it. Is it proprietary? Is there a name for it? It does not look like a mini or micro USB to me.
We enabled the power-on PIN option on the T401G, and created the PIN using the slide-out keyboard. We used letters and numbers in the PIN. But now when we power on the phone, and we're asked to enter the PIN...the slide-out keyboard is not activated. So we cannot enter the PIN, because we have no way to enter letters. The phone is basically unusable now. Things we're tried:
- remove battery & SIM, install battery, power on/off, install SIM. - enter the wrong PIN (which is all we can do) many times (> 10) - NET10's "solution" via e-mail is to hold down the */lock key, which does nothing.
I have noticed but just a few times. I will have my phone keypad locked and in my pocket. I will take it out and unlock it and it says Power Save Mode. Then when another key is pressed it goes away. What is this? Is it an automatic thing or am I pressing something to activate it?
My Blackberry Curve had an auto power on/off feature. I could set it to turn off at midnight and then on again at 7:00, saving my battery. is there software I can download to my Samsung Code to enable this feature since I'm unable to find it already on the phone?
If you use the setting to have the power button end a phone call, how do you turn the screen back on if it goes black during a phone conversation without ending the call?
Anyone SGS2 owner encounter power button sometimes not working properly? Not able to sleep/wake and long press for turn off/flight mode. Recently, have to take out battery while flight boarding.FYI: This is my 3rd replacement phone. High possibility causing by Android system. Or another hardware issue by Samsung.
I am running SetCPU and chose it to cut clock speed to 800mhz when the battery is at 30%. Can you recommend a clock speed which will help battery but won't make the phone slow.
When I switched my phone off last night it was on 67%.When I woke up this morning at 7.00am it was on 17% and told me to connect charger.At 10.30am the battery indicator was showing 29%.At 12noon the indicator was showing 33% at which point it has remained for the rest of the day until now and it is reading 29%.how the phone discharges when it is switched off. Secondly how is it increasing in power?
ive been looking at things you can do with the otg cable for galasy s 2 an dam it looks cool. so i got myself a cable 2 acctualy cuz they werent very expensive 1 from amazon an 1 from ebay 2 different cables. it works when i connect a usb flash driver to it totaly fine no problems at all. so i tried my usb mouse/kb, but no luck after a little bit of research i found out that some kb/mouse dont work if they need power so i moved on from that. then i watched some videos an read some threads about using an xbox 360 wired pad but i have the same problem, the lights flash once an then dont come back on an acts like its not powered ive seen others use same pads online an they work fine but not for me.
ps my cables do work usb storage is proff an pad is perfectly fine as i use 2 pads on xbox an work fine.
I have a instinct that has a power button that doesn't work. I looked inside the phone and the mini ribbon with the 2 traces was damaged. Is there any way to replace that, or where to get a replacement ribbon?
