[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thattrunkmonkey:
So I'm having that "my screen is blank, but the backlight is on, and hooking my tablet up with HDMI shows that its still working" problem that so many people seem to have.

I've found that one youtube video, and a few blogs, about taking apart the Transformer and reseating the gold colored video cable (I've had this thing for two years, I'm sure the warranty's long since expired), but doing that has fixed nothing. I did, however, find out what was loose inside the case (a tiny little metal rectangle that covers... something(?). It chills near the upper left corner (from the back, upper right from the front), and it was loose for me for about a month, but it's fixed now!

However, the screen is still blank, despite my attempts to fix it. It was fine earlier today, one of my friends was looking at it, still fine, he docked it back with the keyboard, and then I charged it for a bit before I went to class, and in class is when I noticed the backlight turning on, but not the rest of the screen.

Any ideas? Is that gold connector the only cable that deals with the screen that could be loose? Could it be something else? Keep in mind, hooking it up to my monitor with an HDMI cable still yields an output, and I can use the touchscreen while watching the monitor, so it's not that.

I don't suppose I'll be getting a response immediately tonight, so I'll be closing everything back up, but I'd love some help!

Also, any form of paid assistance is not really possible, since I'm one of them broke college kids (I got the transformer before school, FOR school), and I rely on my transformer for my notetaking and bored time-passing.

Thanks!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericerk:
I need a staples receipt of a nexus 7 8gigs purchase made 16 days ago or less, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] No_Nickname90:
Um... I don't want to impose on anything, but you will need the correct address, won't you? Don't you have to return it to the Staples you bought it at? If not, what about the Serial Numbers that are attached to the device? Will that matter? I mean, I worked in electronic retail before, Fry's Electronic if you know it, and we check the serial number of the device before we accept returns. So good luck with your request. Again, anything could have happened. There are plenty of pure reasons as to why you'd need this. I'm not trying to impose or anything.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
You are better than me. I can't think of any reasons related to this request that don't involve theft from the merchant.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericerk:
I swear this isn't theft, my tab has a defect, I don't have my receipt, the store needs a receipt for me to swap it out for a fresh one, this is manager + general manager approved.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericerk:
It came from staples, its a legit product.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
I've work in the retail business. The store can generate another receipt for you. It will be on their system. Tell them the date, time, or even just your name and the system will bring up the transaction.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpepe:
you shouldn't need a receipt from the store, all you need is proof of purchase - ie. bank or credit card statement/records
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chismay:
edit: just realized the OP is in the usa,,,, my post may not by of any use.

yup

did you pay by card? thats even better as your statement from the bank showing the transaction can be used as proof of purchase in the uk, ive relied on that one a few times :D

ok, look in the uk if the product is faulty im sure you dont need a receipt as long as you can prove you bought the item in that store, has the sales-assistant or manager confrimed "remembering you" buying the tab? if they have already said they remember you coming in and buying , you shouldnt need the receipt for exchange of a faulty product.

im cursed i seem to always pickup the "less then right" one lol

i buy a motorbike millions others have bought ...my one wont go as fast.

buy a hd tv millions others have bought,..... it doesnt sound right.

buy a new phone....the battery wont charge.

and so on lol

edit: example bought a xbox original controller from "game" didnt work.....took it back no receipt, sales assistant said i paid cash had no receipt and couldnt get a refund as i coulda bought it anywhere......... i pointed to the box..and controller......both had "GAME" logos'.....lmao what a knob !!exchanged!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericerk:
The reason they're having a hard time doing this is because the 8 gig was discontinued and it keeps locking them out of the system with the older receipts :/

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorZX3:
while i was watching a video on Youtube on my Nexus 7, my connection was lagging so i paused the video to let it load, and the video had a bright white background while someone's in foreground talking. I noticed the brightness went down, and i freaked out thinking it might be my screen. But then i went back to the Android home menu, and i have a live wallpaper called "Rays of Light" which displays different colored lights moving on a dark/black background with little circles floating. I didn't noticed any brightness change, nor during browsing on websites, Google Play, or games...

Now i know Jelly Bean have auto-brightness enabled by default in the system settings, but i turned this off.

I do use MX Player as well, with the brightness set to go slightly up when watching a video, but i know i can turn this off (i just might, as i hate sudden brightness changes)

What i want to know is, does the Youtube app feature auto-brightness? and we just cannot disable it? I did noticed some brightness changes in other videos as well, like when watching a game preview.

For the record, i use Glazed Jelly Bean v2.1

thanks for your replies.

I have searched over google but i cant found any post about this .

Can / Not / Why ? change ring sound ?

when you can someone you always hear this tone like too-too-too and companies ask you to pay money to get different dial tone like a song or something.

but why cant you change on Android device the tone by your self?

like why is it so hard or no one cant do it?

i really have no idea and no answer on google.

[LG Optimus Black] rhvk37:
Hey guys my friend rooted his virgin mobile optimus elite ( I think its the same as the black) and when he flashed cwm from rom manager and tried to reboot into recovery it went into download mode and got stuck. the computer won't recognize the phone even with the proper lg drivers so we can't push any thing also can't get into recovery with button combo. Any suggestions?
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Optimus Black is not like the elite at all (The only thing they have in common is that they look similar - in pictures in real life you can see the elite being smaller)

When I searched for Optimus Elite I got this :

Sounds like your friend got a shot bootloader. Theres nothing that can be done for a LG phone that relies on their update mode with shot bootloader.

Return it to the shops for repair and say you tried to update you phone and your computer lost power during the update and hope they believe you (throw in a few tears about how your life is ruined and you'll never buy a LG product again and you should have nothing to worry about - they'll fix it for you). A failed official update is the only thing that can kill your bootloader that doesn't kill your warranty.

I said all this amusing that the optimus elite uses lg's software update bootloader.

Did you try fastboot yet?
[LG Optimus Black] RhinePhoenix:
Good day all, I'm the one that OP referenced. Somehow in the process of rooting this guys phone I incorrectly took the Elite and the Black to be the same model. Of course upon looking them up they are obviously different... problem remains that I now have a phone in download mode, windows sees it and loads drivers but no talky. LG mobile support tool attempts to update it but it craps out around 20% heimdall and odin don't negotiate with it. As suggested above it likely is a paper weight and is bound for RTV but as it isn't my phone I'd like to exhaust all efforts before I tell the owner that I bricked his toy.

Fastboot returns: <waiting for device>
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
If fastboot says waiting for device then it's a no go for fastboot. Still not sure why Lg removed it. Its just so convenient.

I can't say I'm suprised to hear Samsung Software doesn't work with a Lg Phone :p

When you say SFT. What firmware are you trying to flash? What model.dll are you using? All downloads for that I know of got model.dll of Optimus Black included. What method did you use to root in the first place?
[LG Optimus Black] RhinePhoenix:
rooted with poot, everything seemed fine till reboot at which point I get this lovely download mode screen and nothing else.

I was trying to flash using the official LG tool which auto downloads the firmware I'm not sure which version it is grabbing but no doubt the latest.

as for odin/heimdall, I know, I know...samsung, but I was hoping for some sign of life/port negotiation at least.

and yeah, why they'd do away with fastboot is beyond me, it's fantastic.

so to recap, no ADB(seemingly. nothing in DevMan) no fastboot, no official LG mobile support tool.

I'm about to follow: "forums androidcentral com/optimus-elite-rooting-roms-hacks/214686-unbricking-your-vm-sprint-elite-phone-using-official-tools-dll-bin-files.html" :silly:

UPDATE: I've got it working again, the method described in the above link(despite the authors poor english and wretched instructions) ultimately worked. Took several tries but eventually I was able to get it back to stock.
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Thats good to hear. If you use the proper model.dll with SFT and bin files for Optimus Elite then it should work aswel. SFT is after all just a compact version of LGFlashTool.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roflwafflez:
Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone happens to be getting a lot of partial wakelocks without screen on or if your overall battery life has decreased since installing the 4.1.1 OTA. When I first purchased the phone, I had very very few incidents under my battery info where I would have a session awake without the screen on. Post update, seems like I've got a ton of really small wakes with no screen activity. I have turned off Google Now and every GPS/Location setting I could find. Downloaded Better Battery Stats today so I'm going to see if I can get some better info on what's going on, new to the program though and I don't understand most of the info that it reads.

Prior to the update, letting my phone sit overnight I would maybe see a 3 or 4% drop over the course of say six or seven hours. Now I'm seeing a 3 to 4% drop in battery per hour, more if I'm actively using the phone. I'm going to do more testing, specifically overnight to see how it fairs. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else is experiencing any of these issues.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roflwafflez:
Hmm, might try a factory reset and not installing any apps at all and seeing how it fairs. By chance, do you guys have any of the stock bloatware apps disabled? Not rooted/Frozen, but just disabled via the apps menu? Wondering if perhaps disabling any of them might be a trigger.

Yes I am noticing it to. I disabled Google now and it got a bit better.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicbdn:
Yea i'm getting that. I'm using 13% overnight now vs like 4% before. Not sure about the wakelocks though.

Some random things I've noticed are the blur widget resets itself alot. And the transition to the settings window on the left is laggy. How would one revert back to ICS? Google Now is not that worth it to me and the phone was smooth enough before. I'd take the battery life over the new features.

I did buy a second Razr M for my girlfriend that's still on ICS. I guess I can do a side by side compare this weekend.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roflwafflez:
Just did a factory reset today, I'm not going to disable any of the bloatware this time, and I only installed BetterBatteryStats as well as updated all the default apps in the Play Store. Going to see if I get any wakelocks this time around.

Last night, after a period of 6 hours, I had over an hours worth of partial wakelocks from AlarmManager (subheading Phone).

I disabled Google Now and my phone used 7% battery over 6 and a half hours. A little bit better.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper74656:
A factory reset (annoying as it is) helped me considerably. My phone was also seriously laggy before the reset...slow like my old DX on GB, much worse than factory ICS. It finally feels smooth now, like JB should.

Still seeing a lot more wakelocks than on ICS, but it doesn't seem to be draining the battery like it was before the reset. I also removed or disabled a couple of apps that seemed to be serious offenders (Accuweather was one).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roflwafflez:
Did a reset on mine as well and did not restore from Google backup. Still seeing wakelocks, but as someone noted earlier they don't seem to be draining the battery too much. With that said, the battery does still seem to tick down much faster than on ICS. One thing I did find that helped, although honestly it's not really a solution, is turning off data use when I'm out and about just answering texts and such. If I have data/wifi disabled, I'm getting closer to the battery life that ICS was giving, but then again who wants to go around having to toggle data on and off every time you want to look something up. :(

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00McD00:
Is maps showing up on your battery stats and you're not using it? If so, simply open the application. It should say "updated to the latest version" or something like that. If this is happening, this will solve your battery problems.

Modem Fast Dormancy Monitor Service Not Responding.

Me and my wife both updated to KitKat on our Razr M's. I like it so far. The pop up about modem fast dormancy bothers both of use. When you look under battery, it uses more battery than other apps. I force stop it, reboot and it comes right back. A chat on Motorola web site sugested to wipe partition cache. The link that was provide gives the wrong instructions. KitKat using the power and volume keys has changed. They forgot to tell some people. That didn't work! I sent a long email to Motorola telling them that someone messed up or they did this for a reason! I guess if you get mad enough you'll just buy a newer phone. If that one thing is fixed, we would both be happy. The white background in text take some getting use to also. I hope Motorola will help us, but I kind of think Razr M's will be considered OLD! They are betting we will junk them for a new model.

Replaces the rather ugly looking 4.2 clock, but rather than crying about it, like so many 10yr olds here, I just found a replacement.....
