[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power Ranger:
Hiya,

my Desire HD got wet in the front pocket of my fleece, not drowned just some droplets of water that got inside the Otterbox case and into the phone. I did try and turn it on before I realised it had got wet, it wouldn't power up.

I removed the phone from the Otterbox and dried everything and tried to turn it on again as there was only very slight traces of moisture apparent. There was condensation and a couple of little drops of water inside. I discovered there must have been enough moisture to short out the battery as there was a little residue mark above the contacts on the inside of the casing. I then noticed the liquid indicators had turned red.

I removed the battery cover and dried the phone gently using an electric room heater for hours, I also put the phone in a bag of rice for a couple of days.

I tried to power it up again after a few days in the rice and it wouldn't start up. I measured across the battery contacts with a multi meter and found the battery was open circuit, so I know it must have shorted. Hoping that this was the only damage I bought a new replacement battery. When I fitted the new battery nearly a week later and switched on the phone, everything seemed to be fine but the display seemed to flash, and as I had a Leedroid rom installed I heard R2D2 chirping and could see the device start to boot up as normal on the screen. Then the display went dark and hasn't worked since. I stripped the phone and cleaned a couple of patches of residue, one of which was right in the lcd connector.

Now when I try and start the phone there is no display, the phone vibrates once when I hold in the power button. Approximately 40 or 50 seconds later I can hear R2D2 making his tweeting noises which always happens on boot up. I didn't think it took so long to hear R2D2 but maybe the phone is checking the file system or something now, and I just can't see it.

It may be that I just need a new screen & digitizer to repair the phone, but I can't tell what might be on the display - maybe it's the phone unlock screen asking for my pin number etc. I can't see any image on the screen, that you would normally see when the baclight is faulty, I have tried to view it with a desk lamp, but it's just black. The capacitive buttons at the bottom don't seem to have any effect, perhaps they are not enabled if it's sitting at the password screen, if it is at that screen.

The l.e.d's don't light up at the top when I turn it on or plug in the charger.

I might have also damaged the volume key switch/ribbon slightly.

What would you do with this phone, any advice on how I could proceed ?

Would it be working just with no display, as R2D2 is squeaking(Leedroid rom has this when the device boots and has an animation of a pc booting up with the post screen) ?

No l.e.d's is a bit worrying and it doesn't seem to know when on charge etc. but perhaps they only work once the phone has booted, I can't remember DOH!

I just thought I would ask, as there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here and it might be possible to save my droid.

Grateful for any help or advice

kind regards

Barry
[Motorola Droid 3] mattdavis523:
I tried my hdmi out put yesterday and there were small interference lines running through the tv screen. I was using a converter box to switch the hdmi to rca because my tv isn't hd. The cable I was using was a cheaper version baught on amazon from the oem shop. I was figuring the lines were caused by the converter box, but couldn't rule out the cable or just a buggy phone. Has anyone else had similar results?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
The problem is likely in your HDMI to RCA converter. HDMI is a digital signal, even a cheap cable will work fine for short cable runs. A bad HDMI cable will produce blocks and black spaces or else no picture at all. RCA cables are analog and cheap ones can lead to washed out colors or noise. The converter itself may be adding noise to the RCA output. Ive used cheap VGA to RCA converters before and they can be hit or miss. The one I bought was a cheap Chinese knockoff and it wasn't even set to NTSC.

You also should realize that even when working fine the video from RCA is only SD so everything will look blurry and it will probably only be usable for looking at videos and pictures.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonenAyash:
I Want to ask something ..

I have now MIUI Rom .. i want to change to cm7 ?.

is more faster ?.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runlsd:
I tried a lot of ROMs so far. SensioN, Batista, Cognition, Check's, MIUI, CM7, and I'm currently settled on Dlev. This is my conclusion:

SGS2 is a fast phone. The phone is fast no matter which ROM I used. I think people including myself try to quantify speed with benchmark tests at times. I got the highest scores using Batista. But I didn't actually experience noticeable speed differences other than the number that showed up on the benchmark app.

MIUI and CM7 weren't as stable as some of the other ROMs I tried. There are merits to both. I'm not very knowledgeable with the technical/programming aspect of things. So neither of these was really for me. MIUI sure looks pretty. But it had some quirks like not scanning the sd card by dafult, no app drawer on the native launcher.. etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Cm7 is faster than miui.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOZdroid:
MIUI is so beautiful but I definately think CM7 would be faster. But Like previous post states...SGS II is fast regardless. I underclock on most of my ROMs in hope of better battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luck.:
I currently use BMarko's port of MIUI, but I used CM7 in the past. CM7 is definitely faster according to Quadrant. Highest I got on CM7 was 4222 and on MIUI, fastest I got was around 3300. I didn't really notice much difference though. GS II is just a fast phone in general.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dashu2:
I'm thinking of buying a tab but don't like that samsung has "branded" the OS now with touchwiz, is it possible to android, without samsung stuff, so as to get the updates ota when they're released? For example 3.2 is released but haven't made it to galaxy 10.1 yet?

Does one need to root the tablet to do this?

Are there any nice how-tos?

Buying a tablet or waiting for google to release their own depends on if this is possible.

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceTrader:
Yes you have to root to get 3.2 honeycomb. Right now some developers are developing vanilla 3.2 ROM for Gtab 10.1. And each time an update is released for honeycomb we have to wait for the developers to update their ROM, so that we can flash the ROM.

Another thing is that honey comb wont be seeing much updates as IceCream sandwich is just about to be released.

If you want to get updates directly from Google then you have to buy a Google Experience Device. but right now there is no pure google experience tablet (AFAIK).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc10555:
I think I'm looking for the same thing, I want a 10.1 tab but without the Touchwiz mods..

But just to confirm that I understand you correctly, If I purchase one of these tablets it would be possible to de-brand it and remove the Samsung bloatware/Touchwiz stuff and thus run the basic stock Android by using one of the ROMS posted throughout the forums, which I'm assuming is limited to 3.1 as you say 3.2 is in development, not that version makes any difference to myself.

o_O
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceTrader:
Yes. You can install any non-touchwiz ROM in the dev section(Blazer is the only one i guess) or use the 3.1 stock ROM

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drant22:
Ok, so I just got my Transformer about a week ago. Been messing around with it in full stock form, Prime Rom, and Revolver Rom with Voodoo Sound drivers (with and without).

Let me first say that I've searched countless threads about the Transformers possible sound issues and I'm pretty sure this seems like a software issue but I'm not 100% sure and want to have input on my specific question.

Does anyone else notice and volume fluctuation during any playback (Music, Youtube, Movies on SD), even when the TF is hooked to external speakers? I wanted to test it out and see if it was because my TF possibly has a defunt internal speaker, but after plugging in my external Bose PC speakers, I noticed that it continues to fluctuate even through the Bose. Even at times I will get a small static noise which seems absolutely ridiculous considering my Droid X2 doesn't even make a static noise during playback.

If anyone else has this problem, have they gotten this resolved somehow? I'm about to RMA to Newegg and wait for the Xoom 2 to come out or just forget the tablets all together if its a Honeycomb Issue...

[HTC EVO 3D] Mega-Japan:
For whatever reason, and I have tried 3 different movie players (Mobo, Rock, and MX), my movies won't go for longer than 10-15 minutes, sometimes 5, sometimes 20.

I'm using the ViperROM, and these are AVI movies with DVD quality (not even HD), so I can't play them with the stock player.

Any idea why does this happen? A fix? Thanks.

Edit: This seems to happen with only .avi movies, since .mp4 movies play perfectly fine on stock player.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arby636:
after using windows 8 for a little bit and seeing their interesting take on what multi track recording and music creation could look like on a touch screen, i've had an interesting idea on a recording app for the wp7. however, i'm a bit new to the development field, and this would take some time for me to create.

so far though, no app exists that i know of.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
yeah but how would you record, trough the phones mic? Multitrack recording is possible i think, although wp7 is not super good with audio.

I have some classes for a drum machinr/sampler but was not satisfied by the latency, however this might be solvedeable with some sort of offset.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SdM123:
Yeah, it would be for fun on the go. Can't be worse than what I used to do with Meteor on my htc touch wm6.1

I have seen some decent apps for iphones and was expecting to at least find one with wp7. I agree, there appears to be none. For now...

O well.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanielo:
Multitrack Recorder for WP7

I know this thread is pretty old, but I was surprised that there hadn't been a Multitrack recording app for the Windows Phone 7 yet.

So I made one! Just search for 4-Track Recorder in the Windows Phone Marketplace. It's free!

Thanks for the inspiration!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcopress:
Hiya...

Rooted/Nandroid with Bootstrapped Recovery..

I was in the car today,device charged about 40%, noticed the Bionic (for the first time) spontaneously booted. Got the boot screen icon, then black.

Went home, pulled the battery, put in the dock, nothing. Battery back in, nothing.

I think I've eliminated the battery as the cause.

Called Verizon, level 2 tech, offered to send a replacement; I opted to go the the brick and mortar store in the AM so as not to wait for 2 days.

Three questions:

Any chance that this is software related? Rooting app or Bootstrap app related? I think not, as in the dock without a battery it should at least start to light up, no?

If I'm correct, am I in jeopardy of voiding my warranty as the phone's rooted? (Not that they could tell).. ?

Anything else to try b4 swapping the phone?

Thx

Alan
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unremarked:
No,

MOST

* smart phones cannot run on AC power alone. They require some charge on the battery in order to boot.

*added the emphasis before someone comes running in because their OG Droid/Nexus One/RAZR/POS flip phone/whatever could run off AC power alone.

Rooting your device may void your warranty. Most of the time if it's a physical problem and not related to software, the warranty will still be honored. However, it'll probably be an uphill fight.

I'd try to get ahold of another battery. I'm willing to bet that yours is defective.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcopress:
I thought that the Bionic would light up in the dock with the battery removed?

alan
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unremarked:
Why would it?

The dock is just an AC charger with a stand.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] H3Dude:
With my Droid X and a dead battery the phone would have to sit about 5 minutes and charge before it would come on at all. Wall charger, not USB via computer.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jess086:
its true that the bionic will have to charge for at least a couple minuets to turn back on. i have run mine totally dead and it will not power up untill it has charged for at least three to five plus minuets. although it will light up about three seconds after the charger is pluged in and even show the battery pic and charging. first thing you need to do is with battery back in the phone and a regular charging cable pluged in the phone other end, usb, pluged into your computer run adb or what ever you use and find out if it showes any devices at all being connected. you should be able to see this in the rds also. run rds app, then plug in phone using a rear usb port
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
yep, it's true.

I ran my bionic's battery dry the first day I had it. I was trippin out thinking it was broken or something.

After about 5-10 min of charging, I noticed it had a charging Icon.

I realized that I was upset over nothing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcopress:
I put it in the wall charger for the 10th time and noticed after about 10 minutes that it lit up with the boot screen, then the battery icon, which showed 0 percent... then it died. So it does look to be the battery. That's good news, I guess. Should I try to get a replacement from VZW, or spare the cross-exam about rooting and fork out the cash for a new battery?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brickinphoneslol:
If you want to spare yourself of the cross exam about root, get a new extended battery. :D Or if you firmly believe that the battery was defective to begin with, then stand your ground and ask that you be given a new one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] killerplatinum:
You should be fine taking it in. I would do what has been stated and just get a new battery because if it isn't that then it is a hardware issue and that isn't the roots fault anyways.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unremarked:
Also as a kind of FYI thing, Verizon does not do in store warranty replacements anymore(an exception being if you're within the 14day WFG period and the phone is ruled DOA). VZW, in store, does 5 day(overnight if you have insurance) shipping for free. If you want it sooner, you pay the shipping cost. Further, warranty replacement phones do not come with a new battery. They use the old phone's battery.

Where I'm going with this is always start with the battery in situations like this. That can be warrantied in store on the spot. Also make sure you're going to a corporate location.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
Like most cell phone batteries, they aren't designed to be completely drained.

I recommend charging it full, waiting tell it gets to about 10%, then charge it fully one more time.

After that charge, your battery should last you all day.

No need to waste money on an extend battery.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cappiez:
Don't worry, you're not the first to have a dead phone. I had to go get a new one after three days.

Couldn't get booted past Motorola splash through any method, and an unlocked bootloader may have helped. But, in the past, and Verizon was happy to hand over a new one.

Wish I had more useful information, but I don't. So, good luck on getting your beast tamed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcopress:
Update...

Went to the VZW store at 9... tech swapped out the battery for a new one. NO GOOD. Nothing.

Probably a good thing, as this way they couldn't void the warranty when they discovered it was rooted :D

Replaced the phone (17 days after purchase; had to get the mgr to approve a swap)..

Restoring apps as we speak..

Makes one wonder what's up with Motorola's QC dept.

I am running 3.6.0 but my signal strength and data speed seem pretty slow. My iPhone 4 on Edge seemed faster honestly. I am on TMOUS in San Diego. I am not on the 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 radio. When I flashed the ROM I clearly read Mike suggests 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 for the "3.5.X" ROM's, so I didn't bother changing the radio since I am on 3.6.0. Did I read this wrong, or should I have updated the radio to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2??? Has anyone done this and did it make a huge difference? Please help. Thanks.

Im in San Diego as well and I just downloaded ARHD 3.6.3 and stayed with my stock radio. Did you figure out exactly which works better?
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I still have never changed my radio and everything is perfect. No need to flash a different radio in my opinion. Hit me up if you need any advice.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
I flashed Mike's recommended radio and have since experienced horrible battery drain. I would visually see 1% drop every 15 minutes. I have already drained once, charged full, and wiped stats.

I'm using 3.6.3 btw.

**How do I get back my stock radio? Or anyone has any experience with better radios? I'm on WIND mobile in Canada (1700/2100 Mhz, same as T-Mobile)

So I installed ARHD 3.6.4 and have my regular tmous radio and then I flashed the 169 RIL to go with it and my battery and signal are doing very well. I can't believe I took this long to jump onto a non stock rom. Battery and overall performance between the stock and ARHD is night and day.

Hello everybody, being a new member, i am not allowed to post in developers section, so i'll ask here:

Which kernel is inside this ROM?

Is any kernel inside zip file?

I ask, because in some posts is suggested to flash separately ZombiePanic kernel, but title of whole thread is "[ROM] MiniCM7 Pro - V14 (With ZombiePanic Kernel)". So i am a bit confused. In this moment, i am back on V10, becuse of WiFi problems, waiting for V15.

In V10, my phone says kernel version is 2.6.29, SEMCUser@SEMChost #1

Question is, when V15 comes out, do we have to flash ZP kernel, or it is already inside ROM?

Thanks!
