[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskaran498:
The latest update has some problems. Thats something you can read in comments on google play.

Moreover, the adobe flash player wont be updated anymore. So i think you should try switching to older version and see if that works.

And btw, i think google will embed shockwave flash player inside android also like they did in pc as adobe flash player will not support android version 5.xx. Although its way too far till its release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scipicore:
Hi,

When I tried to unlock my phone this morning the screen didn't turn on so i figured the battery died on me. I connected it to the charger but it didn't do anything. A few seconds later i suddenly got a notification sound and the LED started blinking but still the screen wouldn't come on. I tried tapping some random places in the screen and I noticed it responded to my touch, by now I started getting scared the screen might have died on me.

I pulled the battery and tried to reboot the phone, same problem, screen responds but doesn't display anything, not even the google logo.

Then I tried getting in the bootloader, same thing here, got into bootloader but screen didn't display anything. I figured it might be a problem with the bootloader or whatever so I flashed the factory image from Google but the problem persisted.

The phone was working perfectly yesterday and it hasn't dropped on the floor or got wet, it just sat on the table all night long.

So is there anything else I can do? Has my screen just died randomly on me?

In case the screen needs to be replaced, will Samsung do this for free? I'm not sure if it matters but I'm in Europe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scipicore:
Anyone? I'm quite desperate here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Twisted701:
anyone get any idea with this problem i'm having the exact same problem

phone was fine untill yesterday evening (i've had the phone just over a year), i got a message ( i heard the notification sound ) went to unlock the phone and nothing, so i tried pulling the battery, restart the phone and still nothing

led works on the phone, it boots play sounds recieves message etc and the touch and feed back works so you can push random buttons but the screen is completely blank

no cracks, no water damage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scipicore:
I sent my phone in and it turned out I had water damage, even though I'm sure it never ever came in to contact with water or even moisture. Had to buy a new one, no refund or anything. Even had to pay €200 to get my broken phone back.

I hope you have more luck than I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandemonic:
You got ripped hard, water damage is an excuse the telcos use to get out of replacing your device, its a widespread practise, sounds like your phone had a hardware fault and should have been repaired or replaced.

If it happens again insist on proof and explain you know your rights and will pursue a formal investigation with whatever is the relevant consumer authority in your region.

Dont take no for an answer and be prepared to politely but firmly argue for your rights and also escalate the complaint if not satisfied with the sellers response.

It is not unusual for mass produced devices to have hardware faults, but water damage is a total copout by the seller.

For example it is estimated that between 0.5% and 2.5% of sgs3 i9300 devices have faulty batteries which leak and damage internal hardware, and typically the seller will blame the buyer for water damage (more $ for them) rather than replace the device (no $ for them).

Anyone had dead spots on their HOS?

On two different occasions, the screen stops working directly above the Homebutton and a reboot solves the problem..

But since it happened 2 time now, is my digitizer damaged or something?
[HTC One S] fzurita:
Similar problem

I seem to have a similar problem where I get random dead spots on the screen. The problem happens more frequently with me with AOSP ROMs. Also, turning the screen on and off usually fixes it for me. I may have a bad digitizer, I'm not sure though.
[HTC One S] stemnin:
I've had the same issue couple of times a while back.

edit

can't remember, but it might've been while using cm10 (only had it on for a few days).
[HTC One S] hasibzaman:
Try downloading dead pixel fix from market it is really good fixing dead pixel

Download run the app and leave or phone for at least 6 hour with app running at maximum brightness

Sorry, I didn't mean dead pixels, I meant the touch gets dead..something with the digitizer...

Dude I had a post about this before like i have to turn my screen off a lot cause it won't register my space bars during a text or the letter t and its really annoying but turning the screen off and on fixes it
[HTC One S] twiztidnutzzzzz:
I been having a similar issue usually made the center of the screen around the t y u Button's on the keyboard.

Started roughly after running cm10 might be a coincidence though
[HTC One S] Hunt3r.j2:
Try wiping off the screen and turning the phone off and on.

The first might help if it's a humidity issue, the 2nd might help if it's a grounding or static issue.

[HTC One S] coronangel:
i agree with the above, ive only had this issue on cm10
[HTC One S] dc211:
I run into the same problem sometimes. It's most noticeable when using the keyboard but I've had it happen on another part of the screen. Like others have said turning off the screen then turning it back on always worked to fix it.
[HTC One S] fzurita:
I was having this issue in CM9... Once I reverted back to Trickdroid 7.1, this issue no longer happens. So it sounds to me like it's related to the driver in CM9... I suspect that if I switch to CM10, the issue will still be there.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Justinhopaolo:
Which ROM do you prefer?

And why??

I've been going back and forth between the two flashing countless times.

Personally what I love about cm9 are:

the ability to change dpi without crashing the rom

Status bar completely hides when playing a video

Faster kernel (IMO)

What I love about stock Samsung ICS:

Quick launch of messaging

Im not sure but the screen looks sharper

The feeling of stability that you're using a supported official ROM

Calling someone or receiving a phone call doesn't stretch the picture full screen like in cm9

Reception is a bit better specially mobile data
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] darkshadowx07:
Stock

Months ago i was thinking in doing the move into cm9, but after reading a lot of posts i notice the great potential, but it's still a WIP but i decided to stay with HC Stock even with those weird bugs like "Wifi unable to reconnect after being in suspend mode" and those many random reboot or scary power on.

The lastest ICS stock is really stable (at least for me), no random bugs, and WiFI seems more reliable than on HC, animations are really soft and nice and the overall performance is good enough for me. (Also i can disable those nasty bloatware)

Eventually I will try cm9 just to see if i can share experiences with all of you, but for now I will stay with stock ICS + rooted :D

[HTC Wildfire S] franatic08:
Hi,

Finally my wife has given me the green light to customize her phone, Wildfire S (GSM). I have done custom roms and recovery stuff on my EVO 3D, but this device seems a bit different.

I'd like to confirm the steps to succesfully accomplish this.

1) Unlock bootloader with Simons HTC utility v4. I don't want to use HTCdev for obvious warranty reasons.

2) Root the device using HTC Supertool (by Frigid) using the zergRush method.

3) Install custom recovery. I prefer 4ext, but don't know if it is available for WFS.

4) Install custom ROM. Any suggestions there, I'm leaning towards WildChild for now.

Some final questions:

Is rooting really neccessary to install a custom recovery?

If 4ext isn't available for WFS, which touch recovery do you recommend?

Thanks for reading and for your replies!!
[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
There are just 2 recoveries for our phone: cwm and twrp. Both work great.

I dont think so that you need root to install a custom recovery.

For Best ROM: ICS: CM9 by modpunk. Wildchild is great too.
[HTC Wildfire S] franatic08:
Thanks!

I'll go and look for an installer for twrp.

Since my wife needs to use the phone, I'll stay away from CM. She 'depends' on Sense :victory:
[HTC Wildfire S] csoulr666:
Lets go step by step of your procedure

1)Unlocking the bootloader with Simons HTC utility is a smart choice

2)I'd prefer to root the phone via Doomlord's easy rooting toolkit(Search it on Xda)....it's much easier

3)You have a few options right now,

4ext isnt available for the WFS so if you want a touch recovery you can try TWRP

Or you can use the official CWM 5.0.2.8(Best way to flash this is via Rom manager)

4)A few options here

(i)If you want to keep Sense,go for Wildchild Sense

(ii)If you want very minimal sense,use the original Wildchild Rom

(iii)If your wife is ok with AOSP,flash CM7.........but i would to wait a bit if 'cause our CM7 is going official soon

I wouldnt recommend ICS because it still has it's share of bugs(which are universal to all ARMv6 devices) and JB is REALLY A WIP

And i think you will need to root to install custom recovery........because flashing would need root permissions(I think so :silly:)
[HTC Wildfire S] franatic08:
I did a quick search and it seems download links to Doomlord's Root kit are down.

I also found this recovery flasher. To me it seems root is not needed for this flasher. Any pre-requisites are unknown to me at this moment, but an unlocked bootloader seems enough as far as I can think of.
[HTC Wildfire S] RiesVLD:
Not really true.....

I have also a WFS S and have EXT4 on my SD and with DATA2SD i have now 2GB Free Space
[HTC Wildfire S] franatic08:
The 4ext in the post is referring to the custom recovery and not the filesystem.
[HTC Wildfire S] franatic08:
Simons Utility failed to work for me. I simply went the htcdev way.

Phone is running Hensemod for now.

Thanks for the suggestions and help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michale32086:
I have been working on Vizio VTAB1008s recently. The power/USB jack is very sensitive and tends to break off the PCB at the slightest torque or pressure..

One particular VTAB ended up with a really strange problem. After re-assembling the unit and then doing a factory reset, I booted it up and the screen showed a mirror image... If I play around with shutting down and rebooting (holding the VOL+ or VOL-) I can usually get the proper image, but then the next reboot will show the mirror image..

The factory reset text was fine, so I don't think it's a screwy connection internally.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening??

Thanx

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gruntguy:
Hey guys,

So I'm trying to transfer all my music from my Prime onto a desktop, but every so often the file copy/transfer will stop and I have to start it again, copying the files which haven't already been copied. This is nothing new to me, it happens when I would transfer a large amount of data in one go like when transferring movies from my external hard drive - after a while the transfer will stop. I'm seeking help for this now because it's starting to get frustrating, as it means I can't leave the computer because I have to keep starting the process again.

Does anyone know why this happens, and what can be done to stop it? Is there some kind of time-out function in the Prime that stops things when it's been idle for a certain period of time?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :cowboy:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RemyW:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] arquillos:
Hi!

I´d like to downgrade my Neo from ICS to GB (locked bootloader).

I need a firmware 62 compatible (to flash my "562" Neo to a "62") and I found this one: "MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1246-9107).zip" (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/seandroid/files/xperianeo/firmwares/).

Is this firmware compatible with a locked bootloader Neo?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlad.stancea:
Hi there,

First let me start with the error that I get and then I'll try to describe how I think I got here.

Whenever I'm in StreakMod and I try to install a ROM or anything of that sort, I get the following error:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/innersd0p5

(Invalid argument)

E:Can't mount /dev/block/innersd0p5

(Invalid argument)

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

E:Can't open CACHE:recovery.log

Hoe do I think that I managed to get to this error? Well, I saw a post here on XDA (don't remember exactly where and when) that if you format your internal SD to EXT4 you'll get better speeds. Well, I've done that and didn't felt any increase in speed, but since than I get that error (or at least I think that since then). On my PC I use Ubuntu 12.04 and the way I formatted the SD was using GPart. I cannot say how this error affects me because I don't know that much about Android but it worries me whenever I'm in StreakMod to see this error.

Many thanks,

Vlad

Sounds like a problem with the flex cable, people have had this happen to them and the fact that sliding it out only makes it more feasible that it is the flex cable.

EDIT- Here's a whole thread of people discussing the problem you're having http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527498&highlight=flex
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayerdark7:
I've fix a lot of Xperia Plays and I can assure you that the problem is caused by a faulty flex cable. With the sliding mechanism, eventually the flex cable gets worn out and the signal for the screen gets garbled exactly like in that picture. The damage comes in varying degree so even if you see the screen sometimes it still means you have a problem with your flex cable. You can buy the individual flex cable cheaply on eBay but if you don't want to take your phone COMPLETELY apart (which is necessary to switch out the flex cable since it is behind the LCD), you can buy the front housing for a higher price which is MUCH easier to switch out since you only need to take off the backing, pop of the cable connector, separate the lower housing from the upper housing and switch in the new upper housing.

There's a very thorough picture guide somewhere in the forum for fixing any part of the Xperia Play.
