[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xelaboy:
I don't use my G1 anymore, but I'd like to get some ics on it for ****s and giggles. Unfortunately the phone seems to have forgotten how to work.

I was happily running CM 5.0.7 or somesuch a while ago, when it decided to just power off and not turn back on. After pressing the power button many times it magically came on again... for 15 minutes. This went on for a while before it flat out wouldn't turn on at all. I thought it was the battery, so I got a new battery. This didn't help.

So I put the phone on a shelf, got a new phone and forgot about it for a long time. Then one day I got curious. I plugged it in and sure enough the orange light turned on. After it fully charged, I booted it up and put whatever the news CM version was.. 6 maybe? Anyway all was good, for about an evening. I pulled the battery and put it back on the shelf. Now that ICS is out for it, I'd like for this phone to work again. I just plugged it in and let it sit. The LED never came on. I hit the power button and nothing happened. Then I unplugged it and then all the backlights on the buttons came on. If I press the power button all the backlights turn off as long as I am pressing. The second I take my finger off all the backlights come back on. The screen and LED haven't even come close to coming on.

Does anyone have any idea what's up?

PS. I just want to clarify, I never bricked it in a conventional sense. The ROM worked fine as long as it was powered up. I could reboot it and everything.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericd07:
thats happening to my old g1 too...still dont know how to fix it or whats wrong with it =[
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Probably a loose or broken cable

My old G1 also got messed up because of a broken screen cable.

This sounds like the cable connecting the smaller board with the buttons and usb to the motherboard

Well,I was trying to download some video from my phone without going to the computer,so I download file with format mp4,avi,mkv and flv,I know some file format doest work on phone but when I download in those format it shows up as .bin all the time or sometimes mp4 but isn't a full file =/ only 10kb of the whole 200mb ...anyway I can just download it? =/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
if you are downloading from particular sites such as rapidshare i know i have problems with sites like those on ym phone. If the file is about the right size though try changing the file extension manually with root explorer. Does this happen with all files you download online or just videos? Does it happen on a particular site?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
It happen with zshare,I can download zip ,apk,picture, and rar..but video format no...=\
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:
Doesn't make sense that you can basically download anything from there but videos give you hassle, maybe it is the size off the file. What is the free limit from zshare

Not that site only,some other site also..but I forget the name and idk the free size limit,I only download once.=\

My U8800 has died and would like to get it repaired under warranty (totally dead does not switch on)

I am looking on: http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide (stupidly sloooow)

But can't see any instructions?

The company I purchased the phone from no longer exists so that's a no go.

Anyone know any contact details for them? or know the warranty repairs process?

I am based in the UK.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] boss_y:
Use google: huaweidevice facebook and try to contact them.

Sent from my u8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] That-Guy:
Have done the following so far:

- Left message on their facebook wall

- Sent an email to mobile(at)huawei.com

- Registered my device on huaweidevice.com

Just waiting for some sort of reply now.

They need a dedicated warranty page really as doing the above is time consuming and un-necessary.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
I think its easy. What mobile companies in Uk sells Huawei devices, or better this specific model?

You can contact the nearest official agent and ask them about how to get in touch with Huawei support from uk ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] That-Guy:
According to the Huawei site there are no UK Service Centres :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
So where are the Huawei service centres in Europe? And the phone companies selling Huawei you're they repair their clients devices. What is the procedure?

Because no matter the company you acquire your device from, the warranty is from the brands of the device and according to the laws of each country.

So, the shop you bought from closed, but you have a purchase invoice and that is valid to ask for assistance to the brand of the respective device.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] That-Guy:

Well this is my first phone that rooted and messed with. Im rooted, have a different rom, did the voodoo lagfix, and pbj kernel. Now that the ota gb is being pushed to my phone I'm not sure as what to do. How do I apply the update? Will I lose lagfix and my rom? Would I have to root again? Sorry about the noob questions I just feel overwhelmed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Don't accept the OTA if you get it. Period. The OTA is an update that requires an unmodified base OS install. If you try to install it, it will soft brick your phone. That's not a disaster, and it's easy to recover from, but it's easier to just avoid it. To take it, you'll need to go back to full stock. Our friend trparky has some great instructions on his website if you need help. Go to his website that I've pasted below, and click on the "Flash EE4 Stock ROM Instructions" tab. If you want to go ahead and upgrade to Gingerbread while you're at it, click on the "How to manually update to Gingerbread" link after that. He also has rooting instructions on the site as well.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filiab:
Good morning XDA,

Was hoping to get a hand with this issue before I throw my phone against the wall and cry!

My issue started Saturday evening. My phone was low battery, died normally. I went to charge it, screen responded like normal so I walked away.

Returned shortly after and I noticed the screen was still black. Not faulty charging black, just OFF black.

I had an issue before with boot looping, but that was fixed by a simple charger replacement. But now, I can't even get a response!!!

I'm thinking the only option is a new battery (Which I'm really hoping not to deal with as I can't really order one right now, and it's also hard to find the battery in my city.)

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you so very much,

Filiab

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kashem58:
hello

i got a weird problem on my phone and dont know if its the network,

when someone sends me a message i receive it like 2 to 4 times of the same message!

its been happening recently, could it be the ROM?

am using X10 mini pro V21 on stock firmware
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
+1

I'm also interested in this, as I have the exact same problem. Anyhow, I have noticed that problem on different ROMs, so this is not due to your ROM.

I thought the culprit was GOSms Pro, since other users have the same problem with that program.

Any (other) idea?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] progrance:
I have the same problem...

I'm not using gosms

I use the original and chomp but I deleted chomp and the problem isn't solved...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crazyskul:
Hi there...

I don't know what software you use for sms, but since i had a similar problem with Go SMS Pro and solved it by reading the sugestions on first run of GO

It's very easy, justo go to your stock sms program and uncheck the options of new sms and mms notificarions, all of them :-)

It's that easy...

P.s. - if you have other sms programs, uninstal them and/or do the same as for the stock program

Hope i provide some help.... and sorry for my bad English
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kashem58:
am using the stock sms that comes with the mini cm7 pro v21
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
crazyskul: it's not a problem of double notification... actually receiving double SMS messages...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crazyskul:
Ok, i didn't understand it erlier...

My girlfriend complained about a similar issue, but receiving my sms sent by GO SMS, (she has a normal touch phone, not smartphone) and not me receiving several like you do.

The solution : disable the option "split large messages" in " configuration " - "advanced conf." - "send conf."

I don't know if menu is exactly this, since mine are in Portuguese ...

Hope this solves your problem, since it splits sms larger than 160 chars in multiple sms similar, as my girlfriend complaindi...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddardha21:
hey. all u people. thts not the problem of gosms or rom. go to stock messaging app nd disable notifications in message settings. u can find instructions in gosms market page.:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] progrance:
It has nothing to do with disable notificiations...I use the stock messaging app... we actually get more messages from the same person...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] progrance:
does nobody has an answer to this problem cause it's really annoying...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crazyskul:
I'm out of sugestions....

Do you have your fone rooted?

If so have you tried to "uninstall" the stock sms? Or block im thru Titanium? Or uninstall all sms apps and install GoSMS again?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] progrance:
yes my phone is rooted...the original sms app and chomp sms have that problem and I think all the rest will be the same... it has something to do with my rom (MiniCM7Pro)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crazyskul:
Have you tried to reflash the rom?

I never used that sms app, but with GOSMS as i earlier sais once happened when i enabled the "split large sms" in options, since i unchecked it never happened again.

Hope you can solve it fast cause its really annoying receive multiple equal sms or send.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crazyskul:
1 question : do you have the same issue if you just have the stock sms app installed? I mean with all the third party SMS apps uninstalled except the stock one

If so, maybe it's a rom problem, dim card or carrier, for the first try reinstall the rom or another one, if the issue pressists try your sim card in a dumb phone, those things from the past we used for calls and some sms... lol

if all those fail to solve your problem maybe it's a sim card problem, solution call your carrier provider demanding a new sim card, calling the assistance they can check and run some tests to it, at least im Portugal they do that

Cheers.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
Just a guess on my side: I noticed I had this problem when using SetCPU.

In particular, I set a "Screen Off" profile, with low CPU frequency (120 min, 340 max), and profile "powersave": with these settings I got the problem, sometimes...

Now, I'm using the "smartass" governor of my ROM, and disabled SetCPU profiles, and I got no problem anymore

... but maybe that's not the real issue :confused:

EDIT: that's not a ROM problem, since I noticed this in different ROMs
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
Sure.

The main idea is: save battery life when screen is off, and phone is "idle".

One way is to install SetCPU, and set a "Screen Off" profile, with underclocked frequencies for the CPU (122-340 MHz) and "powersave" governor. This governor will try to keep the CPU clock as low as possible, so using less battery life...

Now, I noticed that the ROM implements a governor (smartass) that should do exactly the same: from setcpu web site:

Now, I'm using this, and I noticed no more problems... but it's only a guess... I'm not sure this is the "real" cause
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] progrance:
and what do I must do exactly now?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
I mean: are you using SetCPU, right now?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] progrance:
I just downloaded it and installed it...what must I do now?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NovaMa:
No, no... wait!

You don't need SetCPU. If you was not using SetCPU before, and you had the problem, it means that my guess on SetCPU profiles being the culprit is totally wrong. ;)

As I said before: when I was using SetCPU, with a "Screen Off" profile, I got the problem... now, I removed SetCPU, and I saw no more problems... but the indication that you have double messages without ever having SetCPU installed... means I'm wrong.

I hope this is clear, now
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] progrance:
ok...now that I have setcpu...is there anything I can do with it or must I delete it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] venkatarajeev131:
what r it causes ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
I read several users from South America (Brazil) had radio failure (couldn't make phone calls, no data connection etc.) after flashing European firmwares. Maybe it's because South America uses different GSM freq than European phones. Asian users (India, South-east Asia) have no issue such that using European firmwares. Try asking another user from the country where you live, maybe you could get better answer.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
Well they hit the switch on December 1st of this year, been getting a strong LTE signal since then. Been keeping an eye on the data going in and out of this phone. I have noticed that during phone calls the network switches back to “4G“ and when calls end the “LTE“ reappears. Does anyone here maintain an LTE signal during phone calls by any chance?. Or is this just preliminary tower behavior for testing?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
That's how LTE works on AT&T. When on a phone call it switches back to HSPA+. I think it will always be like this but I'm not 100% positive. Never been an issue for me. It switches back and forth very quickly and I hardly ever use data while I'm on the phone.

Hi, there's one thing I don't like in the galaxy note: I noticed that the scrolling speed of lists or any screen isn't natural, it's faster than my finger.

Probably Samsung did it because it has a wide screen so we don't need to make too wide gestures, but I don't like it. I have big hands and I would prefer a natural scrolling speed (1x).

Is there a way to achieve this?

All the specs claim the Nook Tablet and Color Nook have 802.11n. But I can't see any of my n access points on either device, either in the wifi setup, or in tools such as wi-finder.

So do these support wireless n? If so, how do I use it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Hmm...what WAP (wireless access point) device do you have? i.e. model.

In other words, when you say 'any of your n access points', what device

are those declared on?

And, are you saying you CAN get on in 'G' mode, but just NOT in 'N' mode?

Or, that you can't get on your wifi at all? :)

I'm pretty sure that my router is set to N only and I have no issue connecting. I have a Netgear WNR3500L.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jarome1:
I have a WNDR3700. It is set up for both G and N, with different SSIDs. G works fine, but I cannot see any of the (non-hidden) N SSIDs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
I believe it is has 802.11n but only on 2.4 ghz networks, not 5.0 ghz networks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
The NT, like most other mobile toys, have 802.11n 2.4GHz. Hence its "b/g/n" designation. It does not have 802.11n 5.0GHz aka dual-band. Tabs that are dual-band are designated as "a/b/g/n". iPad, Samsung GT 10/8.9/7+, Xoom, have dual-band. Most tabs only have 2.4GHz.

Sounds like your 3700 is set up for N to use 5GHz band, and G using 2.4GHz. That's fine. Throughput should be the same when using 2.4GHz, whether it's G or N. Ignore the reported link rate. But if you must have that N letter, then set your 2.4GHz radio to N as well.

@liquidzoo

>I have a Netgear WNR3500L.

The WNR3500L is a single-band (2.4GHz) router. The 'D' in WNDR3700 stands for dual-band, as in "wireless network dual-band router".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
True, however there was nothing (at the time) that specified whether it was dual or single band N that was being talked about.

It was the cheapest gigabit wireless router that I could find. No reason to upgrade right now.

Used ROM Manager and downloaded Leedriod 3.0, ran Terminal Emulator and did everything by the book. Went into ClockWork Recovery mode and everything looked okay. Then went to HTC boot animation screen and that's where it has been ever since. Every five minutes or so I get the delightful sound of HTC and a permanently on HTC, Quietly Brilliant Boot screen. It's been going like that for about 25 minutes now.

Any help would be appreciated.

No its not bricked, its in bootloop.

This is what i do when it happens to me:

Pull out the battery. If the phone is off, turn it back on with volume down + power on button. Wait till you get the bootloader screen. Now select recovery. In ClockWork Recovery you can set your backup back. (if you had made one before).

I hope its helps you. Goodluck.
