[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcucumber:
Hi there,

I bricked my Defy Plus from CM10, 2ndInit. I've wanted to flash again the original .sbf cause of warranty issues. I wasn't sure witch version I had on the original so I thought I'll go from one to one in the list of droid developers SBF( can't create link )

After flashing with RSD light there was 2 possible outcome:

1. Flashing completed normally but after device rebooted, it hanged at the Motorola Logo infinetly.

2. Flashing completed, but the device turned off itself, and after trying to turn on, nothing was rendered, HOWEVER I've noticed, that it can be still booted into bootloader mode, cause I could see it listed in the RSD Lite device list.

I thought that was the worst case scenario, turns out its not:

After flashing DFP-137 device cannot be turned on, won't apper in RSD Lite, nothing.

A symptem is, that if connected the white led glows.

Is it possible I bricked it to such state, that I've got no options? If not, what should I do.

I think the cell got supply, cause I licked it, and felt normal ( electricity was riding trough my thoung ).

Any tipps are welcome, hit me!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa3e1:
Maybe it's low on battery, did you factory reset from stock recovery?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcucumber:
No, I figured for removing rooted state, I should reflash the full .sbf.

As I said, it feels charged, mb I'll try go for McGuyver charing method.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcucumber:
If I can reanimte my Defy into bootloading state, how do I know witch .sbf is the correct one??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishekpsingh:

Please forgive me if this has been asked and solved before. I'm having a problem with GPS locking on this rom only. I tried updating the GPS config file but had no luck locking on. I'm in an area where with other roms I can typically lock onto about 7 or 8 satellites. Any help is greatly appreciated!
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
You tried gps fix or a-gps apps from the play store?
[myTouch 4G General] Synthetic.Nightmare:
^this. It took me a few seconds but I was able to pick up around 10 or so satellites when I walked out just now without gps fix or any other app like that.
[myTouch 4G General] pkmncole:
I did try using GPS Status to "reset" the GPS. It did VERY briefly find two satellites and then they disappeared. I've tried re-downloading the rom, wiping, etc. with no luck. I'm just bummed out cause I really like this rom but no GPS is a no-go for me.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Gps works. Try more apps. Get a fresh download. There are always more things to try.
[myTouch 4G General] pkmncole:
Thanks guys it is working. While I'm here can I add any T-Mobile wifi calling app for ICS to this rom?
[myTouch 4G General] Synthetic.Nightmare:
http://d-h.st/2sq

Give that a flash and let me know how it goes.
[myTouch 4G General] jjbadd385:
You said it works..are you using an app from the app store, or is it working from the Rom itself? It's my favorite Rom but I rarely use GPS. I just wanna know in case I decide to use it.
[myTouch 4G General] pkmncole:
I did download GPS Status from the Play Store and I use navigation daily so it's pretty important to me. I don't know why sometimes it seems to see less or more in the same location but I used the turn by turn directions last night just fine. I'll let everyone know if I see any changes but right now it seems good.

I also flashed the Wi-Fi calling and it's working out, thank you. Looking forward to your future projects!

Just discovered that the sports card on Google now is working in the UK..
[HTC One X] Mrdavidwfoster:
Yup it does. Is there any other cards apart from the weather in the UK?
[HTC One X] chrisnash:
I get local places and traffic
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
I get just the weather. Do you have to activate them some how by like using navigation for the traffic etc
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Sports has worked for quite a while now.

... A Month now - old news I'm afraid.
[HTC One X] TheBogBrushZone:
Google Calendar events with locations produce cards also ("You need to set off in 10 minutes to arrive by 7pm" etc. etc.)
[HTC One X] chrisnash:
Also if you set your places in location settings then you will automatically get traffic for work and home destinations etc.

It often gives me suggestions for traffic at places I have stopped at and also after I have searched for places in maps and in chrome.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] achapajr:
I'd also like to find out if there's a fix. I'm running cm10 and it would be almost perfect otherwise.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natefish:
The aokp roms by Task & Ktoonz (sp?) and the TeamAsylum gave me no issues on recording video. Both were solid roms, with T&K's being a bit easier to set up and use.

However, if you still have issues, try this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30526959

I am on Codename Android and had the same low recording volume issue. This kernel fixed it. I really like the Codename rom, so I'd recommend that one for sure. It's on the original Android development thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] achapajr:
I've tried the task and ktoonsez with a couple of different kernels such as the one listed above but still have the same problem. Do all AOSP/AOKP Jelly Bean roms have this issue? I read on another thread that this is due to the top filtering microphone being used instead of the bottom mic.

Are there any Jelly Bean roms that don't have this issue? Having normal recording volume is important to me because I take lots of videos of my son and also record audio during meetings using the voice recorder.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mustard007:
I search for samething....No news and found nothing on Google...

No one can tell if the issue is reported at the right place(which place?? AOSP/AOKP/CM10, Google....), if someone is working to resolv this, who/where/when ???? loll

It's like no ones want the Hot Potato ;)

Is probably one of the last bug I have with AOKP/AOSP/CM10 JB ROM. It's even considered like a bug ?? I can even say that ! loll

Thanks !

...and I try with the kernel suggested by natefish, but no luck...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jeff_Atom:
It really is a shame that this issue is not given more importance. I have been searching for an answer for the past month. I have tried different kernels, different ROMs. It seems the only way to get good audio when shooting video is to keep your phone in stock. I know the bug is reported in the CyanogenMod bug tracker but it looks like there is been no progress made on it in almost a year.

Has there been any workarounds that actually work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ranup112:
Long story, but I switched to Sprint from Verizon back in March after ten years. I purchased the White Epic Touch and sure enough my problems began. I had the phone 28 days and my screen goes out. Bam 35.00 for a refurb. I have that phone for 3 months and take ICS update. Everytime I plugged it to the charger my phone would overheat. Bam 35.00 fee for the tech to do factory reset and have the same problems when I left. I woke up two weeks ago to a black screen. No response. Bam 35.00 and they sent me a new one. I woke up today with a dim screen and find out my screen is burning out so these idiots try to charge me another 35.00 and I said no way! So after arguing with Sprint for about 4 hours they finally replace it then kindly say the phone is on backorder and it could be up to 30 days to receive it. I ask if they have any black ones in stock and they basically tell me im screwed until my name pops up om the list and a phone becomes available. I dunno, but this old boys about to take his 4 lines back to Verizon. More expensive and less hassle. Sprint is so lacking I never imagined. I knew there network was bad, but figured they made up for it elsewhere. Guess not! I figured up that since march I have spent around 21 hours in the Sprint store. I also figure that all those fees had I known I could have sold this one added that amount to what I have gave Sprint for a Gs3. Sad
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Ok.

Why are you posting it here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ranup112:
General Forum. Does this not go along with anything in General??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Mmmm yes... It's general but you have to understand we are average Joe's like you. We can't do do anything about it. It would be best if you take it up to Sprint forums such as the links below:

http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/

http://community.sprint.com/baw/index.jspa

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah but what is your purpose? We all know how customer service experiences are. Some are bad some are good.

Are you looking for some help or using custom roms and see if some of your issues can be fixed that way? I just don't see the reason behind you ranting on a development forum. I can see this in sprint community forums. Thats all.

Edit: And I am a BIG believer in never switching providers when something is working just fine with original provider. I work in fios tech support and whenever someone tells me that everything was working fine before switching and I hate your service... I always think in my mind.. Why the hell did you switch? Save 10-15 bucks vs the peace of mind of working service? Not worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
You know what's funny is 90 percent of the people that complain to you probably had to do a simple power cycle to get things working again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tuscani1821:
I'm a tech at Sprint and I think its kinda funny that every phone that you received craps out. I would say get TEP then you don't have to pay $35 for these issues. Don't rant about how Sprint is crap when you do not take advantage of all of your options.

Verizon does not offer on-site technicians . They would simply tell you buy another phone full price or go to asurion and pay a &150 deductible

Well onley thing is I had one phone in 10 years mess up and they did replace it free of charge. I do have a question for you since you work for Sprint. Ive noticed everytime I go in there all the people in this store always have the latest phone. When I baught the Epic they had it. Evo LTE came out they had it. Now I noticed all three of the same people at this store carry an S3. Went by there today and two of them was showing off there Iphone 5 to customers. This is a contract store not corp. It just irritated me when the rep talked about Sprints cost going up because of exchanges on bad phones. There could be but I highly doupht these people are making enough money to buy the new phones every month. Just curious
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ranup112:
I would also say that I think the main stem of the problem with all the phones I have went through with Sprint is lack of qaulity control and proper training of employees.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tuscani1821:
Sprint does not manufacture the phones , Samsung does. However that's why we have good technicians who check for liquid damage, because if we don't we send them off to get refurbished and we endup giving a liquid damaged device to someone else.

That being said that's why its good to be honest if you liquid damaged a device. But people would rather lie and hope a tech just replaces it , and screw sprint and other customers just so they can get something for free.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fenixjn:
I don't work for sprint but I used to work for cingular wireless and afaik the store always wanted us to carry the latest devices so we could 'demo' them to the customers... think of it as eyecandy.

In fact, I had my own phone from sprint and another device from CW, I was not allowed to use my sprint device for obvious reasons but had to have whichever device from CW visible and sometimes using a BT headset for demo purposes. If I can recall correctly, those devices were written off once another one came up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
I got 2 Epics last year in Oct, his and hers and had only one hicup in 11months, when the ICS update rolled out the wife wanted to try it, so she accepted the update and it did not go well, horrible battery life, apps not working weird charge cycles and a bunch of other fowleups, later I tried a couple of custom roms, but that was just a bandaid , phone was not a daily driver. Finally went back to gingerbread, the os that kept the phone reliable for 10+months with no issues what so ever. I had tried a couple of ICS releases myself and always wound up going back to gingerbread, needing a reliable phone on a daily basis I could not afford to leave home with a quirky phone that needs a charge every 6 hrs. I settled into a custom gb Rom that I have been running since April with no problems what so ever, wifeys Epic is on the same custom Rom. The only time we ever went back to sprint was to pickup a desk dock for the Epics.

Corporate sprint stores are usually more user freindly than privately owned stores, and I think if you go to a Corp store and plead your case in a nice manner you may get some satisfaction. The new phones the employees flash are just perks of the job, either huge discounts or free, don't let that get to you, besides it makes sprint look good. I have been with sprint since 2000 and have no complaints.

Give sprint another chance to make good. Good luck.

Thats a good way to look at it. I dunno maby I am getting all the bad apples. My wife is still on her first. Im old and not going to say how old but I just got here checking stuff out. Never rooted or modified any phone.

You see it was a50/50 chance, your wife got the good phone, it can't be that bad, just approach it from a different angle. Hay I'm no spring chicken myself, I got grandkids, and proud of then I am. (The oldest is 9.) :) :D

Just my 2 cents. I got the Original Epic on launch day and never had one problem with it. Got the Epic Touch on launch day and am still using it. I have not had one problem with it. With anything mechanical there is always going to be the possibility of failure. It is just a game of chance. I can guarantee you that there are people saying the exact same thing about Verizon, AT&T and TMobile. It just happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
No you are wrong about 90% just need to power cycle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I know how technical support goes... I did both tier 1 and tier 2 for U-Verse. And it's actually 95% of customers are not tech savvy so they call in for every single issue including a Wi-Fi password. Tier 1 technical support is basically a power cycle then transfer to tier 2 if the issue is still happening. Tier 2 does ALL the REAL technical support. Tier 1 is just a filter, which can't even do that correctly most of the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Fios is not that way. I know time Warner is the way you are describing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
FiOS is a fiber optic network similar to U-verse in the sense that you support IPTV, HSIA, and CVoIP.

I know how an ONT works, unless there is a major issue that requires a technician to physically repair the line... it is a simple toggle or reboot of the CPE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jr71x:
Yes, sprint does suck, I've known more than any sprint tech or rep and they don't generally fix anything, water damage??? Seriously? Who cares if it's been water damaged, doesn't mean the phone won't work, that's why they have quality control refurb people... Yeah, I'm on sprint and I hate every day of it but ALL cell phone providers suck major ass and have you by the balls... I've been paying for 4g for over two years and have NEVER seen it and probably never will until my contract is up, again... Truth be told by the time I and the other 75% of America do see 4g from sprint, they'll put a cap on it and stop unlimited... If I were you and you don't like sprint, just keep going up through the chain and tell people strait up what's going on. If that's a no go, just change your prl and roam constantly until you get that "letter" in the mail... One rant to another, good luck...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tuscani1821:
You Know more than any tech? Then please explain why water damage does not affect phones at all. I always thought corrosion on the board was damaging and shorts things out....hmm shows what I know. See how long you run a business and make money by giving out free stuff.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
My two cents about sprint... I love sprint and the coverage ...I always have excellent service Here in DC..I think a lot of people need to check coverage in their area before locking the contract..and talk to people in the area who have sprint to see how they like it

As far as support the people are always kind to me over the phone and at the store...even worked with me with my bill so I can pay it the days I get paid...as far as my phone no issues what so ever with anything so I haven't been to the sprint store much..just to get a case and say hi to a friend there..I'm happy to keep doing business with them and will be getting the note 2 as soon as it comes out

[General Questions and Answers] mrbeers:
I am a total noob at rooting phones and I accidentally soft-bricked my Samsung Repp SCH-R680 in CWM by trying to erase all user data.

I thought I had a backup, but apparently it installed the backup to the phone and not the sd card, so when I wiped user data, I wiped my backup and all R680 system files.

I was wondering if someone could send me a stock nandroid backup of either their R680 or point me to any available online so I can get my phone functioning again.

My family is without a phone until I fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tw1n2nak3s:
so i was given a gently used galaxy nexus (verizon) from a buddy who opted for the new iCrap 5. problem is im on Sprint. not really in the mood to switch to a more expensive carrier so i thought i could just use the phone as a mini tablet teathering to my ulimited data plan.

Problem:

.

the phone is stuck on the 'no sim card: emergency calls only' screen.

Solution Reqested:

bypass the no sim card screen and enjoy the phone as a wifi device

What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can unlock it and install a custom ROM, which will let you bypass the activation screen.

Other than that, I'm not super familiar with CDMA devices.

Unlock the bootloader it'll wipe the phone then root and install one of the great TmRoms the devas have put out;p

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LeFeverts:
Hi Dear X8&X10 Users!

First of all. I dont want to change the world, just want to share my experice what i gained during my studies and share these pictures what are not common, (because we use non-common cameras;))

I have a chance to make TIC pic about our phone, while charging, and tomarrow i have a new chance to make more pic.

So, me and one of my frined, just decided to make some pic, and explanation.

The x8 and x10 is about 20-30°C in normal condition. But. When you start to charge your phone its starts to heating(you can experience it),from outside to inside as the picture shows it.Its about 40-50°C while charging but it's just a relative degree and need more metering	to get the correct value.

Tomorrow i have a new chance to make other pics about our phone. I planned to make some pic about processor, but i think we wont see anything difference from it's enviroment because the armv6 chipset is too small to sense it, and need more sensitive devices to make a good picture what can be evaluated.

​

About the pics.

You can see the x8 and x10 when they were started to charge to full charged. The interesting thing is, when you can see the starting of the charge. The battery is starting to heating from outside to inside. My opinion is, that the cells of the battery starts the electricity gaining from the outside. While charging the degree is starting to increase and while its full charged its started to cooling,at 100% it goes back to normal temperature.

While started to charge:

​

The processe:

​

THe cooled ones after charging (plugged in but 100%):

​

About the screen.

​

Its just a normal surface, which behave like everything what we touch. You leave thermal points on it, and nothing more. We checked the temperature of the screen while we set the brightness higher and higher....and.........nothing. Nor temperature increasing.

I hope you enjoy this review, i'm gona continue it tomorrow with CPU test, and standerd temperature after OC.

(I'm a safety engineer, who want to know a lot about the phones safety, and the connection between battery and CPU overheatings)
