[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jsyi84:
First question...Did your phone ever work/boot with your current setup?

Second...Did you make any changes...i.e. flashing a different kernel, etc..

Third...Do you have kids?

Try unplugging your phone, removing the battery then just put the charged battery in and hold down the power button....

I know my response sounds like I threw in a bit of sarcasm BUT I only say this since I've come across an issue where I can't turn my phone on if the usb cable is plugged in and I switch out the battery then try to turn it on. I have to remove the battery and the cable then insert battery and press the power button. Strange I know but it happens some times for some reason unknown to me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dgurion:
Yeah, the phone had been working fine before this. I was using the Cyanogen alpha build for about a week without any issues.

I was just sending an email at the time, no changes at all.

And no, I don't have kids yet. =)

I've tried taking the battery out. Plugging it in and charging, it won't even show that it's charging. Tried holding down the power + volume down. Also tried holding down power + volume up + volume down for 30 seconds, and then a minute.

Nothing happens. Really don't want to pay for a repair from HTC.

Its technically under warranty, but it has been voided by flashing a custom rom, etc.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
If they can't turn it on, they won't know that it's been flashed. Best bet is to send it back under warranty. Dunno what else to tell you. But if you can't get it to boot at all, how do you think they will?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dgurion:
Heh. That's what I was thinking.

But, just wanted to check with you guys to see if there might be something I'm not trying.

If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

Thanks to everyone for their help. :)

EDIT: Also, I'm assuming this is somekind of hardware failure. Why would a ROM / Bootloader disable the phone like this?

I know that with the mytouch 4g, there were A LOT of problems with bad chips. Not every chip is made equal, it's very possible that you just happened to get a bad one.

Have you tried to connect via ADB on a PC?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dgurion:
Would I be able to connect even if the computer doesn't recognize that a device has been plugged in?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Stranger things have happened. Make sure that you have the correct drivers then adb devices and see if you get your serial number. It is a first step to work from.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dgurion:
I'll give it a try tomorrow. The phone seems completely dead.

Its very strange, it just turned off. And that's it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Take it to t mobile. . Sounds like it maybe a hardware issue in which case you'll get a new phone.

Our phone isn't a year old so you should be fine. Don't tell them you did anything to it say it turned off and never came back on. they will probably check the water damage sticker and void stickers and try to turn it on. After that they will ship it to wherever and get you a new phone asap.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dgurion:
That's what it seems like as well. Just hope they don't have some special way of booting it, only to discover that I have a custom bootloader and ROM. =/

I already have an RMA number from HTC. Just wanted to go through all my options before I ship it off to them.

You are using the wrong cwm. Get the latest official cwm.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
His phone won't boot at all. He won't be able to install clockwork.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
If he can get it to respond to ADB he might be able to push CWM manually. Kinda a moot point as he likely already sent the device back.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dgurion:
Sorry.. I meant to say that I was using the Official CWM, not Modaco.

The phone has already been sent back, we'll see what they say. =/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Litesorrows:
Its rooted, and S-off. I don't think they'll fix it up. Or they'll charge you for the phone they sent you to have untill they figured out your problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Litesorrows:
My brother has the same phone, they didnt replace his because it had CWM, and S-off. Charge him for the Galaxy S II they sent him.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dgurion:
Well, I just got my phone back. No charge, thankfully.

Same phone, same scratches and screen protector left on. They wiped it completely, restored to factory settings, as well as the bootloader.

[General Questions and Answers] s_m_a_s_h:
I've mentioned this atvthe end of a previous post elsewhere on these forums, I'm repostibg to be more specific.

How do I get google to sync my calander (completely) to sgs2??.

It's a problem I've had for about a week; google won't sync my entire calander to droid. I've read a lot and it seems I'm not alone in this; yet I've tried all the work arounds, and still nothing.

Any advice?

Also, if I factory reset my device, will I have to root my sgs2 again? (I had done this prior to rooting and still didn't help google calander sync afterwards, it would only sync 1 month's worth of prior events).

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] v Ralle v:
Hey guys,

I want to present you my newest app "Shutdown Start Remote". Like the title says, you can remote shutdown, restart, hibernate and start your PC.

I often watch movies in the evening and control the VLC Media Player with a app. It was really annoying to get up and shutdown the PC after that. I needed a solution for this situation.

Here is a list of the features:

-Supports Windows, Mac and Linux

-Easy setup with network scanner

-Intuitive design

-No installation required (only run a Java application)

-All screen sizes supported

-Possibility to choose between shutdown, restart and hibernate

-Wake on Lan

You can find out more about this app and a detailed instruction on my homepage.

Market Link

I hope you like my app and find it useful.

Best wishes,

Ralf

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know, that a new version is out, which has a option to choose a special theme. For example Android 3.x and 4 now can use the Hole themes. I hope you enjoy the feature
[Android Apps and Games] Spiriteq:
Need a program for PC?
[Android Apps and Games] v Ralle v:
Yes, you need a program to shut down the PC. To start a PC you don't need it. It is a small .jar file (java) running in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] shockem:
Looks great, trying it:)
[Android Apps and Games] v Ralle v:
Thanks :) Please let me know whether everything works or you have any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] giga502:
Hi. I'm having problems with this app.

I've got the JAR file on my computer. And the app is also picking up my computer when they go to scan it. However when I click on my found device nothing happens. Then around 10-15 second later an option will pop-up saying "Could not find the PC".

Is there a way to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] snowman46919:
Same here finds PC but won't connect
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
nice app, works for me. Some issues/suggestions

-I had to manually enter my IP address for it to even see my PC.

-It notifies me of me using a ad blocker app even though i'm not and never have.

-suggestion: I didn't exactly know how to use the app, you should make a "tutorial" phase first...

I saw the timer, pressed it and it went to 000000 and on my PC a message popped up saying "windows is shutting down"

I think you should put a option there saying something like "Press this to cancel shutdown/restart/hibernation etc."

for people who can't connect:

Instead of searching, press menu and enter the ip manually.

If you don't know your ip, first of all you should be ashamed of yourself, and then give yourself a facepalm

then if you have windows, type cmd in the search and then in the cmdprompt type ipconfig and get the IPv4 or IPv6 ip, the ipv4 is shorter for me.
[Android Apps and Games] giga502:
tried those and still the same result ;[
[Android Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
great app, i do the same thing! can you add a "sleep" function for windows? I find this more useful than shutdown or hibernate.
[Android Apps and Games] v Ralle v:
Hi,

Thank you for the suggestions.

Referring to your problems: if you can't connect although the network scanner found your PC, then your firewall is blocking the connection. The scanner works on another IP address and port than the real connection. So please check your firewall settings.

The network scanner uses following address: 239.1.2.3

The manually inserted IP uses one of the following ports: 57143, 57144, 57145

The final connection uses port 52899 and higher.

@NguyenHuu: No I can't add the sleep function. Windows only has the possibility to shutdown, reboot and hibernate. However you can take a deeper look into the windows settings. It is possible to use the sleep function instead of hibernate. If you see a sleep option in the start menu, then hibernate in my app let's your PC sleep.

@xriderx66: Hm I thought the handling was simple. Isn't the instruction point enough? How would you change it?
[Android Apps and Games] honeydesean:
Sounds like a neat app. I'd like to check it out but I guess it doesn't support the Droid1.

Definitely won't hold that against you though, my phone is OLD! (But I'm looking forward to an upgrade next month!)
[Android Apps and Games] v Ralle v:
Yes, unfortunately at least Android 2.1 is required.
[Android Apps and Games] v Ralle v:
Hi,

Two weeks ago I've published the new version of the app. I've updated the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] RuffyMonkey:
really nice app...

can you add a support for dynDNS. I can only insert an IP number.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thaprinze:
Does anyone know if it's possible to change the long press actions for the capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone? For example, long pressing the menu or back buttons don't do anything on the Epic Touch. Could I change that? I'm assuming it'll require an app, as I couldn't find any such settings on the phone. Also, I haven't rooted yet, so I'm fully stock, which may make it nearly impossible. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Is there anyway to boost the wifi on this thing. I have 3 tablets (samsung tab 7, Lenovo Ideapad K1, and this) Samsung and Lenovo keeps connection with my home router but this one it disconnects half the time. Kinda frustrating. I assume this also will kill my battery faster than it already does. Any advice?

EDIT:

So I exchanged my tablet and still the replacement has bad wifi. I figure this had to be hardware related so following the procedure here I decided to take it upon myself to figure it out. If youre not comfortable doing this I suggest just keep returning your unit till you get a good one. Note when you remove the first side bezel there's a black sticker over one of the screws. I was able to remove it easily with an exacto knife being careful not to rip it so I can put it back on later. After removing the 3 sides except for the power button side (not necessary) you remove the back off and you end up with this.

I'm not sure which is the wifi antenna or if they work as a pair but I moved both antenna connectors around (I didnt try to remove it cause this might make the connectors loose) and moved the black antenna right on top the camera. Reference all the red arrows. I left the tablet on so I was able to tell if it was making a difference. Eventually got it to get 2 bars just like on my Lenovo Ideapad! Possibly one of the micro coax connetors was not making good contact. These are the same RF connectors on RC receivers so they are a little more susceptible in losing contact specially if they're too lose. So just move them side to side and dont remove or lift them off.

Prior to this I was alternating between no bar and 1. This time it consistently stayed at 2 bars regardless how I moved or where I moved in my room (our router is in another room upstairs). Carefully put the tablet back together and now my connection is stable 2 bars. Finally!

So it does seem like there's some QA issue with these tablets. There's a huge thread in the acertabletforum about this issue and some say to change your connection from DHCP to static but that doesnt make logic sense to me. Some have been able to exhange theirs gotten good replacements.

Anyhow if you have any question, let me know.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
I was actually thinking that wifi going out when it's turned off might be on purpose to prolong the crappy battery life.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Not when its turned off. Theres a setting for that to disable wifi when you turn screen off. But thats not what I'm talking about. My wifi disconnects as I'm surfing or downloading from market or a file.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
hmm, does it look like it has a weak signal strength or are you sitting at a good connection and it drops all of the sudden?

If it isn't a weak connection, I assume the device is just having a problem with your router settings. Maybe call support to see if they can give you information, but I haven't heard of this issue. What about open networks at coffee shops or the like? Do you have the same issues?

This is my third tablet and this tablet has the best WiFi that I have seen so far, so I don't think it is a problem with the signal strength.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Maybe I have a bad unit but I went to Bestbuy today and the a100 could not connect to their bestbuy router. It says "not in range". All the other ones (galaxys, xooms, acer, asus, HTC flyer all were connected to bestbuy wifi. HTC and samsung were the better ones at full bars. Acer had 2 and asus had 3. I don't recall what the xooms were. But man what a disappointment. The only thing good was that the a100 was the cheapest at $249. They must've brought the price down again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Are you on 3.2.1 already? Maybe thats the ticket. I'm still on 3.2 and it says I'm up to date when I try to check for new version. If you are on 3.2.1 how did you get it?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
Nope, I do not have the update in my region.

Hi,

Sorry for myu english but i'm french.

I've have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with battery Samsung of 2000 mAh.

Since some days, i've problem because i've lost my modem and then airplane all the time.

I've flashed the last KK2 but nothing change.

Before this, i've used Lite'ning 1.5 and after Criskelrom V29 - 30 - 31.

My first problem was with the charge of my battery. I've a logo with a yellow triangle and a termomether ... The charge doesn't work but when i've putted my new battery of 2000 mAh, it's work.

What can i made for to solve my problem ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bond@007:
Traduction with google :

Well yet again I reflash via Odin then flashed a stock rom old bootloader to try to be back compatible with the jig.

I rebooted and telephone network operational! Imei apparent and the whole shebang!

My joy was short lived as I reboot, network ... more reboot back network ... I press the power button the screen freezes a little and reboot itself ...

Even when I turn it off, he goes out and comes back only after a few seconds ... he is in charge and I do not know if that's the reason ...

In short, everything here is more and more strange.

I must succeed in bringing this absolutely counter to 0 flash! Then keep a stock rom + kernel and correct modem. To erase all traces on the internal SD, a complete wipe / factory is not the guarantor?

Or what to delete and what to keep accurate please?

Edit: even more weird ... When I go through Settings / About Phone / Status / My phone number is completely wrong!

I just try to call the number listed and not assigned! If I call the right number, the two rings my SGS ...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Awizzle:
Just ordered my transform last night and I can't wait to get it. Its selling out at a lot of places and some places are saying discontinued. I was looking at getting a dock eventually too, but even that is sold out and even discontinued at some places too. Do you guys think it will be hard to get that soon too? Should I just go ahead and get that while I still can?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] acdcking12345:
I am keeping my TF and Dock for quite some time. May upgrade at some point to the prime. But I will say I rarely use the dock. I prefer to just use it as a tablet only.

I wouldn't worry regardless. You should be able to get second hands docks, (and TF's), for quite some time..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
that is a tough question as availability will depend on demand. It appears a lot of current TF owners are happy with their TF and will not immediately jump to Prime or competitors. There will be a lot of TFs and docks available in the used market as people gradually move up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rwniel:
Many of the accessories, like the tablet external dongles for USB and SD cards or the micro hdmi to vga adapter appear to be the same for both models. I suspect that's a reason why the desktop dock was dropped so quickly; other than the keyboard docking station to make all other options broadly speaking 'compatible'. Also, at least for now Asus see the original transformer and Prime as complementary rather than strictly speaking a replacement i.e the original model as the mainstream option with the Prime as the premium one. So, I don't think the keyboard dock is going to be harder to get hold of other than the ebbs and flows in availability we've always had. Asus haven't always been very good at managing stock levels, although that could have been as much an issue with the supplier's expectations.
