Dust under iPhone glass

Roughly a month ago I accidentally dropped my iPhone with a cracked glass as a result so I went to an iPhone repair store and got it fixed. Two weeks ago I started noticing that dust were starting to get under the screen so I went back to the store and they said they’ll try to fix the dust problem till the next day. When I got it back it was clean and all dust free so naturally I thought they’d fixed the problem.

Now after roughly another two weeks the dust is starting to come back as you can see to the right here.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that the top left part of the glass is raised 1-2 mm compared to the right side of the glass.

My suspicion is that the top left part is pressing against the seal that seems to be around the glass and therefore letting in some dust.

Tomorrow when I have some more time after work I’ll go back to the store and demand that they’ll fix the problem and not just remove the dust. I’ll post an update on how it went.

Dropped iPhone = Cracked iPhone

Last friday I was doing my laundry when I accidentally dropped my iPhone from about 1.2 m height (4 feet) height. There was a distinct cracking sound when it hit the floor. The good news was that it still worked the bad news was that the glass had cracked, as you can see here.

I was pretty sure that the warranty didn’t cover a cracked glass on the iPhone, but I figured I could ask. Sure enough it didn't cover any physical damage to the iPhone. All they could do was to exchange it for a new one for about 3995 kr, which is about 1000 kr less than a new one.

The next idea was to order a DIY kit and try to do it myself but after watching a couple of instructions on how to do it I decided that maybe its better to let someone who had done this before to exchange the glass.

Thanks to a friend on Facebook I got a tip where they repaired iPhones within  a couple of hours, which was perfect. So now I have a fully working iPhone again.

Back from the holiday break

I’m back now from my holiday break. Well I haven’t actually been anywhere but I haven’t been updating this blog or drawing as much as I would have liked. Been playing too many games instead of drawing, heh. But last weekend I actually continued on my drawings and I’m almost finished now with the first page. I know I wrote that last time also but this time it’s not that much left. Just hang in there :)

Drawing going slowly

Even though it is much faster to draw with the tablet it still goes slower than I would like. Maybe the biggest reason is that I don’t seem to have enough time to actually sit down and draw. Hopefully I can get some drawing done this week when I have some free time also the days after Christmas I have couple days when I will try to get some drawing done.
My first plan was to post the whole thing, mainly because I thought it would go a lot faster to draw them but I'm thinking of posting them when a page is finished instead.
The good news is that I'm almost finished with the first page so hopefully the first page will come up later this/next week.

Live Writer Review

Couple of days ago I found a good blogging tool which I really enjoy using. It's Windows Live Writer. Some  things that I like about is that you can save your draft to your blog, well at least when using Blogger, so that you can continue writing to the same post from whichever computer you use. And, it uses your css theme from your blog so you can get an idea of how the post will look like when published. It really helps, at least I think so, mostly I think because I used to write the previous blog posts directly on blogger.com. There was nothing wrong with that, only it was a bit easier to use Writer instead of writing in a browser window.
Another thing I like is the plug-in support, like the Flickr4Writer plug-in, which lets you select your or others pictures from Flickr and add them to your blog. So far I’ve just used the Flickr plug-in but what I’ve read there should be many plugins to Writer but I have had some trouble of actually finding some because when I go to the official Writer plugin-page all I see is an empty page, well forget that, I got an empty page because there aren’t any swedish plugins. When I changed my account preferences to English I found the plugins where they should be.
You can also edit your already published post using Writer. All you need to do is to click the Open button at the top and select the post you want to edit. The only thing that bugs me is that when you get the list of post that you have on the blog, you can’t see which of the posts are drafts and which are regular posts. The way I have gotten around this is to write DRAFT: in the beginning of the title. This way you can easily spot your drafts in Live Writer and when you are ready to publish the post simply remove DRAFT: from the title and then publish, or schedule your post as normal.
