[Motorola Atrix 2] seanpr123:
Hey guys, the GF left her phone up high and was knocked down and now the screen seems to be dead. Lights up for a moment when turning on then just goes dark. Pretty sure it's operating fine underneath (still need to plug in to computer to check for connectivity), but assuming just the screen needs to be replaced, what are my options?

Is that something I could possibly replace or perhaps send it off to somebody on this forum for repair? How much ($) are we looking to fix? Better to just sell on ebay?

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
I did a quick search on ebay concerning a new LCD for the Atrix 2 and they seem to cost around 80 bucks... I don't know if that would be a worthy investment since depending on your contract you can maybe get a new one for about that price...

What I can tell you from personal experience is that it is most likely to be a major pain in the ass to replace the screen on your own... I once changed the front frame of my HTC Desire and I basically had to disassemble EVERYTHING including unglue-ing the touchpanel from the frame taking out all sorts of boards and stuff, and I never got rid of the little dust that would get between digitizer and LCD..... (the memories :o)

But I'd say if you're confident in your technical skills and a new LCD would be worth your money then you might consider going for it...

I don't know but I'd estimate the cost of a professional repair around $150-$200...

One tip just in case: Make sure that no dust gets onto your screen/on the inside of your tuchpanel because once you start "cleaning" it off (with a towel) you'll never get it as clean as it was... ;)
[LG Thrill 4G] xterminater07:
Hey all, thanks to the dark lestat for his incredible kitchen rom for this lg thrill. I charged my lg thrill yesterday in the morning and then when I got home it was hot. Ever since that my battery life has been going down like mad fast so I'm wondering is my battery dead? I charged it using a different charger which I shouldn't have but it's a ipod wall plug which should have stopped charging if it's full. As soon as I found out it was hot I turned it off immediately and let it cool.

I turned it on from 6pm to now and the battery is at 49% where as before it was like maybe 85% left. I have wifi on constantly, and the live wallpaper but it shouldn't be down that fast. I also have facebook notification on but I don't use the phone at all, just standby mode. Could my battery be "dead" ?
[LG Thrill 4G] 88prince:
when i was dawnlodeng some game from gameloft i went away some time and came back to find the battry so hot and masseg on the phone says( battry overheted and chareg disconect) so i unblgd the battry for 3-4h and put it back and i feel like my battry empty fast>>>without using it work like 24h (syngmail facbook notf. on and life wall)but if i just use the music player for 2h it become(from 100 to 66),a frind of mine told me that it is battry normal to empty fast using wifi or 3d>>>like iphone when i use wifi it empty fast.

Ok, so I have a HTC EVO 4G and it's currently rooted running a MikRom. Recently, for some reason, when I plug my phone to a Mac or a Windows computer it does not recognize the phone in USB Mode. Specifically on my windows pc, I get a

"USB Device not recognized One of the usb devices attached has malfuntioned etc.. and I went through the process of trying to install the driver but nothing

I have also unmounted the card in settings and mounted it back and still nothing.. What I was going to do was completely erase my SD Card but will that erase my Root however?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threestripebrand:
It will not erase root.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globetrahter:
Very True, Do you think that reformatting my SD Card will possibly fix the issue of it not mounting on my computer
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
It's possible. However, before you do that, take the card out ant put directly into a card reader for a computer. This will let you know if the card is bad, or maybe the phone's reader is bad. If the card is bad, you can try error checking it in Windows, and maybe salvage the data on the card.

But if that doesn't work, try re-formatting it. It may help, it may not. If not, new 8gb cards are only a few bucks now.

Hi,

My GPS stopped working.

After much research and several tests, changing radio\RIL, stock rom.... could not get the GPS working.

Some time ago, after a long time just picking up one satellite, now does not get any.

Is there any tool or application to test the hardware?

Thanks.

I like Cyanogen 7.1, but it seems that the gps doesn't work on DHD. Too bad, because it is a really good rom. I have radio 26.10.04.03_M. The same thing as described by others happen:

I turn on the gps, it start searching, and then it stops and the icon disappears even that the gps is still showed as being turned on

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonhyxda:

Have you tried changing the NTP servers?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RED_:
Changing the NTP servers is part of the link spikey001 posted.

Have you tried flashing agps? I haven't got a thread to point you too but there is one in the DHD ROM section. There are about 6 different gps things you can flash, hopefully one of them will work.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlooneytoon:
You mention that your GPS used to work. Have you recently dropped your phone? It's possible that the GPS antenna contacts might not actually be making contact anymore (either through trauma or just plain old age)? If none of the SW fixes get your GPS working then perhaps you might actually have to do a HW mod?

See this thread for a HW fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318892

Don't worry, it's not as scary as it looks! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvetkalle:
Hi,

sounds like what mine did.

Tried software and even made the fysical contact better for the gps-module itself.

No luck.

The solution for me was to buy a new gps-module on ebay for 5-10 us$.

Worked like a charm.

Good luck!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonhyxda:
Thanks for all the help.

I've tried the agps reset/download and no luck.

The phone did not fall, just stopped working.

I've tried the HW fix but did not work, still no satellites.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c0rnholio:
Folks,

Sitting in a rental car wanting to connect your phone with the bluetooth handsfree?

Got a new stereo headset and want to pair it with your device?

Want to send a file via bluetooth to a friend and need pairing first?

Whenever you want to pair to a device or unpair from a device you have to go deeply into the settings of Android. If you finaly got there, the bluetooth pairing partner is out of pairing mode again...

That's the reason I wrote btPair. On opening the App you can scan for visible devices surrounding you and a red or green image shows you the current pairing status. With just one click you can pair or unpair to any device around you.

It's that simple...

Available on the Market now.

If you have questions, rants, comments or feature requests leave a message here or send me an email.

Cheers

Didn't quite like it. It's full of bugs and have sent you an email of the problem. Hope to see it resolved. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c0rnholio:
Just to clarify: It is not FULL of bugs. :-) There was one bug on one specific device. It was a duplicate device entry (the discovered device was listed after each discovery additionally) on a Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus with HC 3.2.

I was not able to reproduce this behaviour my Xoom with HC 3.2 and all my other devices (including emulator). However, I made some changes and added a function to display already paired devices uppon startup of btPair, and added a button for that.

So version 1.1 is published now.

Cheers
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] asianhigh:
Many thanks to the developer. Now it doesn't show duplicates anymore. Hopefully the developer will add more feature in the future.

I have "Sensation XE"

Once I was transferring some data via USB storage my SD card got some virus I scanned it with "NOD32 V4" and cleaned it

The virus changed the folders attribution to system hidden folders so I restored them to the normal folders but it didn't make any change in the problem so I copied the media in every folder to new folders but it didn't make any change I changed the rom from HD Revolutionary to Black Ice and I have the same problem

I can see the media I have through file managers like astro

Help me plz​

I have had the same problem since first switching to ics. Many people have solutions. With ext4 touch recovery you have the option to clean or fix the sdcard, it works for some but not me. The only other thing you can do is format the sdcard and try again. I've been lazy and haven't formatted yet so mine us still broken. Also no custom ringtones either.

After a fresh install everything works for me. I can set ringtones and all my pics and music can be found. Then about an hr later nothing shows up. I know other people have this issue, but I've just kinda dealt with it until I see someone with a fix.

I'm on VI 3.5 with the SD card it came with, dunno if that matters but it could be a SD card deterioration issue.

Bump... That is a detailed post about a similar problem on all cm7 & cm9 builds. There is explanation of why the SD media disappears and are testing the patch.

I know its cm9 and VI is sense based but they talk about the android os itself so maybe, just maybe its an android problem and can be easily patched.

There is a strange culprit that was causing some of the problem... Google +

Hi everyone,

Even unregistered I've been using this forum for some years. Now it's time to make my contribution.

I've seen some people requesting this app, and even I needed it, so I'm presenting it waiting for your feedback.

Some applications on market (like Notification Toggle, Elixir 2, etc) are doing more or less what I porpose, but on a different way. Also, as far as I know, no app does exactly the same.

So, here it is my proposal. StatusBarAddon is like an status bar mod, so you can "pull" power controls at any time, on any rom even without root.

This app is free and available on android market (search for):

StatusBarAddon

What it does:

"Pull" down power controls at any time (and on any app);

Costumizable controls;

Volume and brightness controls;

Compatible with all android 2.1-2.3 versions (sorry, no ICS support);

Compatible with the Android status bar;

Free.

Thank you for your suggestions, I'll try to implement that as soon as I can (I'll be busy for some time, for professional reasons).

The data toggle is a peculiar one, since Android does not provide a standard interface to enable/disable data, so I decided to not do hacks (like change the carrier apn). I'm not sure if I can make anything about data (and Sync).

Since I'm a new user, I'm not able to post links, sorry.

The GPS switch uses the Android power control widget, so I'm sorry but I cannot provide any fix for that at the moment.

[Android Apps and Games] eversp01:
Nice and usefull app. No problems so far om my HTC Wildfire.

Some suggestions:

add battery status

add volume levels for ringing tone, media, alarm.

tap on "sync" should do a "sync all" instead of going to the settings

make it possible to choose the order of the buttons (e.g. I don't use fllight mode that often and would like to enebale it, but somewhere near the end of the list).

Can do translation to Dutch/Nederlands.

your app locks great but no work on atrix att 2.3.4 stock :(

[Android Apps and Games] rmscouto:
The battery status is on my todo list, will probabilly be one of the next improvements. Also, I've already started to do something about the buttons order.

The different volume levels will certainly be considered. :)

For the sync toggle, it's the same situation as the data toggle, since I haven't already find a convenient to do it, but I'll keep searching for a solution.

Some users are having troubles with the bar (not working at all), but I can't reproduce this situation myself on my phone or in the emulator, so I can't provide any support at the time, sorry for that.

Thank you again for your feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] martenp17:
you should make it so that when you have only the bars (volume and brightness) activated then the box aboove, where the other options are, should dissapear.
[Android Apps and Games] rmscouto:
Just implemented that, will be on the next release ;)
[Android Apps and Games] eversp01:
For your information: for the synchronisation I currently use the HTC widget "sync all".
[Android Apps and Games] rmscouto:
I have already done something about the sych toggle, will be on the next release. However, it's not fully functional, because (right now) I'm not able to read the sync status, I'm only able to start or stop the sync.

New firmware update arriving soon, 8107.12070

The following is a compilation of all known fixes & improvements in 12070:

• Battery drain issue has been fixed

• Lack of audio Bass when listening through headsets has been addressed

• Auto-white balance issue with the camera has been fixed

• Hardware buttons backlights are now always illuminated at all available screen brightness levels

• Diagnostics app has been updated to prevent users from receiving misleading technical readouts about their device

So why Nokia continued to say there is no battery bug, I do not know, if they claim that there's a new battery drain issue that has been fixed? :confused:
