[HTC One X] keethar:
I bought a 2nd hand One X yesterday, it came with the original receipt.

Today the phone became unusable:(. Content is rolling over the entire screen vertically, resulting a flickering.

Thinking it could be a mechanical issue, I opened the phone and manipulated the flat cable to the screen a bit to check if it could be caused by a bad connection. No effect.

On top of that, I saw a cracked void sticker on one of the screws, which brings me to the following questions:

If a pristine phone is returned for repair, and the repair technician needs to break the sticker, do they replace it with a new one? Could it be that the phone was officially repaired?

How many stickers should be normally in place, is it just the one on the top screw?

Any help is appreciated!
[HTC One X] keethar:
This should probably be moved to the Q/A section.
[HTC One X] zuadao:
if you have warranty you should allways use it
[HTC One X] keethar:
That is hardly an answer to my questions :).
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
Repair people put new stickers on screws
[HTC One X] d33f:
Nope not always, because i sent my earlier hd2 in for repair and the technician forgot to put new stickers on the screws
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
Key word forgot , but normally they DON'T FORGET
[HTC One X] keethar:
That makes sense, and answers my first question. Unfortunately, it also means I can better avoid returning the phone for service in this state.

How about the second question; does anybody know how many, and where those stickers are supposed to be in the HOX? I've seen a ton of disassembly photos and videos, but nothing that clearly shows those tiny stickers. The punctured one I have is black 2mm, and on a screw above the camera. Are there supposed to be more?
[Motorola Atrix HD] AnkurBedi:
I connected to the hdmi port on my lcd , however tv shows no signal . What's more is that the tv shows the hdmi port number i connected to as disabled ( Same as when i turn the power off of my Set Top Box through which i get cable television . After turning its power on it shows the hdmi port number enabled ) .

What am i doing wrong ?

When i connect to hdmi , phone also shows no notification .
[Motorola Atrix HD] mn3kgtvr4:
Can you try with a known good hdmi port on the tv? Ive found a lot of tvs to have finicky port issues depending on source.
[Motorola Atrix HD] AnkurBedi:
Ok , my bad . The cable was not properly inserted in the tv . Now the hdmi port shows enabled and the orientation of the phone changes automatically to landscape .

However when i select the hdmi port my phone is connected to , it still shows no signal .

My lcd is full HD , picture mode set to 16:9 ( not that it should matter , but still )
[Motorola Atrix HD] AnkurBedi:
UPDATE : The cable was crappy , that's $4 down the drain . I bought $2 connector and it works with my existing hdmi cable . However there is pixelation in playing videos and frame drops in some . This is not the case when i play the same video through a usb drive .

The CWM of A110 might work thats a hint. As they both are MTK based.

Just a suggestion to try it.

But first we need to backup the stock recovery using ADB so that if anything goes wrong.

We can rectify it.

A couple weeks i was having a boring error with my sim card, everytime the OS sent me restart android because sim card was not working, i would him to find networks, even without restarting the device and works fine.

But yesterday in the middle of dawn, when i was sleeping, my phone made strange sounds, like a bips, very strange, i never heard before he make that sound, but i did not wake up to see which was.

In the morning, my phone dont turn on again, is only LG symbol in display and nothing else happens.

I tried to give a flash with another rom using smartflash, V30a, 28v, 20q, but a i have communication error with LG Modem, i dont know what to do to solve, my warranty is over and in brazil, the maintenance organizations are a bunch of bastards thieves.

Anyone can help me?

This is what i used to recover my phone after i brick it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969797&highlight=toolkit

I'm guessing that if you where using v28g then you have the ICS partition, so you need to download the second toolkit in that link instead of the first one with is for gingerbread, but check LG's logo when trying to turn the phone on, if it's white with white letters then you have the GB partition, but if it's red with white letters, then you have the ICS partition.

Anyways, try the corresponding toolkit to recover your phone because if you use the wrong one you'll get an error. Good luck mate, and don't worry, this may unbrick your phone. Hope it helps

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] koker93:
Hello all. I have my Note rooted with a custom recovery, but I have not flashed a rom. Well, I have flashed a few, but I've since gone back to stock and re-rooted because the bluetooth issues are a dealbreaker for me.

Here is the actual question. I've been getting a lot of updates from samsung. I came from an HTC Evo - and HTC rarely did updates. Has Samsung really released 3-4 updates in the last 2 weeks? Or is my phone just not properly installing them? The android version is 4.1.1, also not sure if this is all the way current. I just checked on the update your phone page in the system settings and it says I am current...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bl4ckllama:
I'm running the same thing as you (stock, rooted with custom recovery) and I have not had an update recently. Mine is currently 4.1.1 as well, with the L900VPALJC build. I agree that it's the BT streaming that's keeping me from custom roms right now :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] koker93:
I've had issues not only with A2DP, but also with call quality on BT as well. It sounds choppy and has TERRIBLE range on at least 3 different roms...Paranoid Android is awesome on our 5.5" screen, but I cant talk on the phone or use Slacker radio :( Hopefullt someone does a better job with the BT drivers sometime soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bl4ckllama:
I imagine once the CM blue tooth problems are fixed the roms using it will get stepped up. I downloaded Macksrom today to run a trial to see how the improvements are. Though now that I know ADW isn't messing up my phone anymore I may just stick with stock for now. I have a current backup and I'm feeling bored, so I'll most likely **** around with it this weekend :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techiexp1969:
I am very new to flashing ROMs. I have Flashed the Route66 and also the t0ltevzw ROM as well. The trouble I am having is flashing the ClockworkMOD . I have tried also using the GN2 Toolkit with the stock ROM, and I have no luck in getting CWM onto the device. I have tried also flashing CWM from ODIN and I get errors.

When I turn on the phone and try to get to CWM, I get a message that a software not provided by Verizon...blah blah and I need to take phone into VZW. It fixes after I flash a ROM back to the device.

Can someone explain what I am doing wrong, or what step I am missing, or what proper ROM to use?

As stated, I already tried using the stock 4.1.1 ROM along with GNII Toolkit to flash CWM and SU and they fail everytime.

At present I have flashed the Route66 ROM back to my device and I have ROM Manager installed and I have already tried flashing CWN 6.0.2.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soulsk8r99:
Sounds like you are in the sameboat I was about a week ago, the fix to this is to unlock your bootloader first which can be done following some guides in the Development section, you'll want to start with flashing a stock ROM image to the phone through ODIN which you can get one through the "[ODIN][VRALJB] Restore to Stock" by imnuts in the Development section, this should make it so you can reaccess the phone again to atleast use it, then you'll want to look into the "How to Unlock Your Bootloader -New and Improved Super Easy-" thread from the Original Android Development form for Verizon Note II, this you will want to read everything through so you get it right the first time which it will unlock your bootloader so you are able to install customer ROMs which then I highly recommend Scotts Clean ROM.

Let me know if you have any questions on the process or if you are able to get back on your feet!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techiexp1969:
Thanks for the reply. I will look into your suggestion. Is thios suggested ROM really close to the original stock? I only ask because I prefer one that is as original as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soulsk8r99:
Yes, it is nearly identical to stock just with added features like the Hotspot is fully unlocked so you can tether for free and you can choose to add a new kernel to the phone so you will be able to overclock/underclock and undervolt it to either improve performance or make your battery last for ever. The install is easy since he incorporated a nice GUI to for the install which prompts you along the way for what stuff you want to have on the phone which you can make it as stock as you want with Touchwiz (orig Samsung interface) or bump up the customization with Nova launcher or Apex which personally I've used both an Nova is better thus far. There has been known issues with the GPS with the ROM however getting the GPS Status & ToolKit app from the Play Store then running the Download option fixes it to the extent of my testing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soulsk8r99:
And one other thing I just remembered which you may or may not run into is if you use Linux on your PC Odin generally is not going to work since there really are no Drivers for it on Linux so getting your hands on a WIndows system would be idea but a Virtual machine may work but I haven't tried that yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techiexp1969:
thanks

I wanted to come back and just say thanks for the help/suggestions. Tho I have flashed a couple roms, I was a bit shaky about unlocking the BL. But it went without a hitch and I did try the CleanROM. It is nice and fast. I I love having all the toggles and the All App Multiview. I only had a small issue recovering a backup. It sucks that not all roms support putting all your icons as they were. Anyways, thanks again and I liked the rom so much I donated because I know this stuff takes time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
I notice that some people have reported their S3's to receive poor GPS signal or that their phones can not lock onto a location at all, even to the point of having to return their phones. This paranoia had also struck me, and I noticed that I began to have problems too. However, I realized that at some point (for me personally) it had nothing to do with the phone. I just wanted to provide some tips as to how to improve GPS or use it more properly.

1. You need a line of sight to the satellites from your phone. That means that being in the middle of midtown Manhattan, you're likely to not get a signal. That also means that if you're in the middle of your living room, don't also expect to magically receive a GPS lock. It just doesn't work that way.

2. While it's controversial whether or not bad weather affects GPS signals, I notice that heavy clouds and poor weather affects my phone's ability to lock on at all.

3. If you're in an area where you can't get a lock (i.e. Midtown Manhattan, etc), turn on Google Location Services. This will always put you within a 500-1000 meter radius of where you are (in which case you would just read a map the old fashioned way).

4. I almost never have a problem locking on a location within 5 seconds while driving on a clear day, outside of the city. If your GPS and Google Navigation still does not work in this situation, you probably really have an issue.

5. During my paranoia, I cleared cache/data for Google Framework Services (warning: this will remove your sync account) and uninstalled updates to Maps and reinstalled. That may help if you've been flashing back and forth between roms.

Hope these simple tips might help some people out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I don't know if it's because I leave GPS and Location services on all the time but I've never had an issue with GPS lock with this phone whether I'm in the burbs or in a city.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Boss428man:
Yesterday I was in open line of site in Fitchburg MA, I had the GPS on for 20 minutes as I was scrambling for and event. It just would not lock at all. When I do get a lock. Yesterday same day driving 2 hours to Cape Cod (105 miles of open space) it would lock work good for a couple minutes then lag for a few seconds to minutes and not move then just jump and update. (Says GPS signal lost.) Sometimes it would then put me on side streets and struggle for find that I was still on 495 South. It did this when whole way. I knew where I was going so it wasn't a problem but there is something up and I am interested in finding out what. BTW this started after the first OTA update from Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
If you have problems with gps get a replacement phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonie01:
A lot of people don't know is to turn on wifi first. You will get a lock on in seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Boss428man:
Tough to sign onto wifi on the highway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rams99:
Even when I was in line of sight and with wifi on. My s3 wouldn't get a gps signal or lock on. My wife's Rezound did. So, I called Verizon and they sent me a replacement and now everything is fine. It was the hardware in my first one that was the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AngryGibson:
Exact same issue with me. I haven't tried it bout lately because it pissed me off. I started using GPS status and toolbox and beginning to calibrate and update things. Hopefully its better now. Unfortunately, I cant get a replacement because I bought the phone off contract on eBay (just like I always do).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
You don't have to. For some reason enabling WiFi alone will improve the GPS's ability to get a lock. Though this isn't always the case, its one of the first things I do when I have trouble getting a lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonie01:
Yeah I don't understand it also but when I flash a new ROM, I would go to google maps. At that time I would not get a GPS lock until I turn on Wifi. GPS status app also helps with a good GPS lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
It's getting a rough location estimate from access points when your turn WiFi on. WiFi location doesn't have anything to do with GPS. This will only work if you're by access points.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] socalwrxx:
I've had problems since day one of owning this phone. I've owned a droid 1 and droid 3. My og droid honestly never failed to lock almost instantly whether in my house or on the road. Its a shame to get such a new phone and have issues like this. Multiple threads show many users are having the same issues. I've tried fixes, clearing caches, flashing new roms and nothing.

All wifi is used for is helping finding a rough location by send info through Verizon about access points nearby. Turning it doesn't make the internal gps work "better" in regards to seeing satellites it just helps Google get a fix on the phone faster

I can safely say that S3 gps is the best I've had out of all the smartphones I used. I am frequently in midtown Manhattan and it locks there within 10 seconds, and it works in my livingroom :)
