Chinaphone wont boot

Thanks to xda for all the help and I hope you can help me with this problem. My Chinaphone won't start, it gets to the android boot animation and sound but then nothing. The led comes on from the time the battery is inserted which is unusual.

I have the phone for about one year now, model:M-9125 (imitation of htc hd7) with dual Sim+TV and everything else that come with Android 2.3.4 gingerbread. The phones is rooted (with the MT6573 driver- and i use link2sd so everything except un-updated system apps are on the second partition. I have modified the rom with link2sd removing unwanted system apps like email, flashlight, music, browser and replaced them gmail/outlook, tinyflashlight, winamp, opera mini respectively. Tinyflashlight and opera were made system apps. I also use the go launcher which I made a system app after which I was left with only 1.5 mb of rom, (ram about 300 mb and both sd card partitions have over a gb free) but the phone worked fine. Then a few days ago the phone wont start. I thought the battery was dead but it could not charge. I tried both batteries (came with two, one of which was already drained) and they would not charge. So a friend took them to charge with a universal claiming that I Let the batteries drain out completely that's why. However I have the batteries I think they are charged cause at least now the led comes as soon as the battery pins contact those of the phone. The phone turns on, boot animation, sounds but then nothing. So I just wanted to know if its the batteries or if its the phone given that I have over-customized it. And how do I fix it.Cannot afford a new phone right now.

I know I am a noob and read your rules but I still really wants sure where to post this. feel free to move it if necessarily. thank you.

[Motorola Droid 3] TheRabbit2:
Hello, I am trying to implement a shortcut to launch an app when a bluetooth control button is pressed, and would appreciate some help.

Running:

XT860 (Droid 3 GSM version)

Maverick 4.0

Safestrap 3.0

Situation:

I have a car stereo system that has media controls but not a dedicated bluetooth phone button.

My proposed solution:

Modify AVRCP.kl to remap the back key to the voice command

Edit vSuite.apk to include search_long_press as an intent-filter

Sign the apk and re-install

This all works well, but I have run into the problem of how to bypass the lock screen. Now when I press the back key, the phone will wake, and stop at the lock screen. If I unlock, then the voice command app will launch.

There is the "Allow bluetooth bypass" option under security, but I guess AVRCP commands are separate from that (AVRCP works regardless of if the option is enabled or not)

I came across an app in the play store called "Bluetooth Voice Dial Widget" that does what I want, but it disables all other AVRCP commands. For example, if I assign the voice command button to the previous media key, play and next both stop working.

Looking at the logcat, it seems that bluetooth commands are handled differently than AVRCP commands.

So, my question is: Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen? Or do I need to edit the apk for MediaButtonIntentReceiver?

Haha, I am new to android. So, please point out anything I have said wrong.

Thank you.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sanfo12:
I bought my GS3 yesterday and wanted to update it to 4.1.1. Now i went home. downloaded the kies software. plug my phone in and downloaded the drivers. I then go to kies and it pulls up the update notification. I start the update and after the "downloading firmware update components" the screen dissappears and kies shuts down. Nothing else happens. I'm seriously pissed and confused because i don't understand. Talked with Samsung live chat several times and they give me the same step by step trouble shooting. Has anyone ever encountered this or is there a way I can officially update it, just not through Kies? I do not want cyanogen or root. I would like the official update. thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffdaman:
Mine had lots of issues. First off make sure you're running Kies as an administrator. When you run the update just walk away for about 10 minutes because it does go blank on the screen even though it's still going. That said I don't believe kies went away I think that only the update screen went away while it ran. At some point I determined that my USB 3.0 port was a problem and I had to switch to my other one which was USB 2.x. I don't know if it was the type of port that mattered or the fact that they were both on the front and just plugged up to the motherboard. I actually think the USB 3.0 has come loose inside because it doesn't work for the phone now either.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
This has been an issue for a long while but its frequency seems to have increased now. Basically it happens randomly and only if picture is taken with flash. I have experienced it on both stock jelly bean ROM and cm10. I don't remember it being an issue on ICS or GB. My phone is not over clocked and the issue does not seem to be affected by kernel.

My gf also has a nexus S and same thing happens with her. We both have the i9023. Her phone is completely stock and not rooted.

This problem is also not limited to the stock camera app as I have experienced it with camera zoom fx as well.

Anyone else with the problem? Do you think its a potentially hardware issue with nexus S?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePoncho86:
I think your problem has something to do with your batter. This is my theory because whenever you try to take a picture with flash on a faulty, or non-calibrated 3rd party batter, the phone shuts off. Try this: take out the batter, plug your phone in to AC, and take a photo with flash. Let me know what happens
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
What is a third party batter? I am not using any "third party" thing. :S

And this problem isnt easy to reproduce since it doesnt always happen. It just randomly happens and I can go on taking several pictures with flash without a problem. Actually what I have noticed is that it will happen on the first or second click in a session or it wont happen. If the phone shuts off and upon reboot I immediately take a pic with flash then it will shut down again but if I give it a break then it wont.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2d551:
Yeah, the same thing here. Must be a 4.2.1 issue. Happened to me on 2 different roms. I never take that many photos, but happened a week or so and didn't think about it. But today needed the flash for Christmas pictures and every time I used the flash the phone shut off and I had to power back up. What rom are you on?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
I am running cm10 stable right now. This is a jelly bean issue I think and I dunno why its not reported enough because its quite a major issue if you ask me. Nothing more embarrassing than that happening in front of friends. :thumbdown:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2d551:
I forgot to mention that sometimes it wouldn't shut down, it would render the touch screen unusable and I had to pull the battery

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radobirov:
It's the cheap battery

My phone switches off when I take picture with flash but only if I'm using the cheap battery which i ordered with spare charger. Tried the cheap battery with my brother's note 4 and it happens every time. It never have or has happened with original battery. This is one of the tests for a new battery.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paggps:
Hello,

I have my old Xperia X1, with the screen partially broken, but still fully functional with original Windows Mobile 6.

Since I don't use it anymore as a phone, I have planned to reuse it for a specific purpose: convert it to a wifi IP Camera to monitor my house, using this android software: "Cloud Spy Cam", which works great.

So the questions are:

1- Which version of Android is the most stable for this use, that requieres mainly: camera and wifi working OK (I don't need working RF radio, cellular features, bluetooth, etc, etc.).

2- If I use one of the "SD Card versions" (non-NAND) is it possible to create a shortcut to start the Android OS just after WM boot, without any human intervention?

Note: I know there is a Windows Mobile from Atek Software called Web Camera Plus, but it is not the same: it has not motion detection, nor local storage of pics or videos.

Thank you very much.

To be honest I only installed it and adb, I haven't even got to mess with it. The newish android-tools-adb from software manager are slick it made Desktop my adb location so anything on my direct dektop is controllable with adb ( I think only tested adb devices ). Although I still have the actual sdk, I just wanted to try the software manager one.

I'm in the process now of just trying to get better and more fluent with terminal and Linux language. I was never really big on computers at all growing up but when I did use them it was always to do one task and that was on windows. So Linux really opened my eyes because if I don't need the computer to do much, why run all that bloat? I would rather install what I need vs uninstalling what I don't and risk breaking dependencies and OS.

I use Ubuntu and have had it on a separate partition for probably 8ish years now(since second year of college). I sometimes bounce to another distro to try for a while, but always come back to Ubuntu because I am used to it.

I am really thinking about looking for another debian based distro(or ubuntu with a different desktop mananger) though because I kind of loath portions of Unity and the amazon integration. I don't mind having the side bar with app icons pinned to it, thats how I keep my win7 desktop setup. I absolutely hate just about everything else though.

For those that are comfortable with windows you may want to check out Zorin OS, its a ubuntu based distro that emulates the windows desktop manager.

On my family computer I have ubuntu 12.10 w/ unity, docky and virtualized win7. Its an i7 with 8gb of ram so I don't care about it not being a light distro.

I chose ubuntu because its the most linux friendly distro and my mom, dad, and sisters use it a lot and I don't feel like being their tech guy all the time.

On my laptop I mostly use windows 7 because it really can't handle the main desktop environments (crappy processors and I've made it overheat a lot so that doesn't help the processors). I don't like how the light desktop environments look so I just use win7. All I do on it is research papers so it all works well lol

Its pretty lightweight too.

I had it on my laptop for a while since it looked nice and it was lightweight.
