[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
I noticed my Belkin car charger started wheezing and the phone displayed the charging icon on and off. But disconnected before anything happened..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamina1:
I have nothing with which to separate the back and that would invalidate any hope I have of receiving a refund from the seller.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unjustable:
If you have paid with paypal check if you have buyers protection.

Then first contact the seller and if he ignores you then contact paypal about the issue.

If you take your time there is no way anyone can tell you've taken the back off.

I'll have a try.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamLange:
Did anyone tried to not panic and just put the phone for a couple of hours into charger?

if the battery is completly discharged, connecting it to charger for 10 mins will not make the device run, trust me it works the same on Nexus 7.

Put the device to charger for at least half of day (6h) and then check if the problem still appear, if yes then RMA the device (openning it up may break the warranty).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethugp3pp3r:
This isn't the problem in a lot of the cases. I've had it happen to me now 10+ times. Sometimes the battery is almost full-charge. I can't RMA the device because I bought it at home (Wisconsin) and now I'm living in Germany.

For anybody wondering, you can buy a nexus from somebody else (as in the e-bay case) and transfer the warranty to your name.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamLange:
This a "lot" of cases, are simply people who panicked and cant think straight (this is most common issue at Xda developers, especially when rooting phone ;)). The long charging test is the first thing you should check, if this will not help then its battery fault and need to be RMA'ead. But in most cases i'v readed , it was simply that battery was discharged fully, and phone needed time to charge it back to run device...

You still can RMA your device, it will just cost u more to send/recieve it from Google/LG.

And yes, if you bought a N4 purchased at google play and sold to you, the device ID must be transfered to new owner (old owner can simply send an email to google play). In case it will not be transfered and you will try to RMA te device, the original buyer will get it , not you.

Adam
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronuser:
Yes Adam...tried leaving on charger. Doesn't work, at least not in my case.

Removing the back, if careful, will not void warranty. Obviously its a risk you take. I'm very comfortable taking devices apart.

My phone is still working perfectly with my fix.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamLange:
I'm not saying that it will work or not, im just saying people got wicked when such things happen :) sometimes a simple methods and just a little bit of time / reading / understanding may fix the device without RMA'ing them or posting useless dozens of posts about bricking and scaring users ;)

"tl;dr Almost virgin Nexus got red light & unresponsive on first charge. After all else failing, firmly pressing the back, directly above the battery connection area immediately revived it... "

Fix works for me.

Thank you so much. Your fix worked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tct08:
Wanted to add that my Nexus 4 (only about 2 weeks old) also suddenly died while performing a Nandroid. I was at about 98% battery but I did notice that the phone got pretty hot. It just shut off, plugging in resulted in the blinking red LED. I tried holding all the different button combinations and the only thing I could get to work was fastboot while plugged into the computer. I could get it to boot to recovery briefly from there before it turned off and blinked red again. I tried leaving it on the OEM charger overnight hoping it would just fix itself in the morning but no luck. In fact, the red light just stopped blinking and I could no longer get the phone to respond to anything, including fastboot this time.

I went out and picked up the tools to unscrew the phone and the back cover was a pain to get off. Don't forget to pop out the sim tray like I did; it makes it far more difficult. I used an old plastic credit card to slowly pry open the the back plate by running it all around the back plate.

Once I unscrewed the battery bridge and popped it out, I waited about 3 minutes and popped it back in. Lo and behold, my Nexus was able to boot again, no data was lost and I had only lost 3% battery. There is clearly some defect with the battery connection on my phone but at least after a lot of Googling and patience, my phone is back to working condition without an RMA.

TL;DR

OP's method works: remove back cover, pop battery bridge and then restate it. Phone should boot up again!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhut_tiger:
confir fix

Guys i can confirm that it is a battery drain issue

before doing anything to your lovely phone

just leave it for 10-15 min for charging on original charger

in between keep long pressing the power button to check whether the battery is charged to boot the phone o not

i have experience this the 2nd time now both times it revived by this charging method

Be patient dont tear your phones apart keep it as a last resort
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JesseK:
Had this issue happen to me while not even on a charger. Was in my car with just the Aux jack plugged in.

Couldn't fix, even after trying to set to completely stock with locked boot loader. Wouldn't get into recovery.

RMA'd it without a problem... should have my replacement in 2 days,.

Save my phone，please！

Sir,I got the totaly same problem with you! can you reboot your phone now！ waiting for your advice and I would keep touches with you！:)
[Nokia Lumia 920] paddylaz:
I've been suffering the dust issue on 2 lumias now, and have noticed something. If you go to a darkish room/area and tilt the phone, you can see the light from the backlight coming through on the sides of the screen and also at the top and bottom by the capacitive buttons.

e.g. http://discussions.nokia.com/discus...ith_Windows_Phone/30650/1/2012-12-15-1679.jpg

I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can go to a dark area, and see whether they all have this or not? Kinda worried me because made me think there's a manufacturing defect here and the screen isn't secured properly on the handset - which could maybe account for dust getting in? It might also explain the 'rattle' on vibrate that some are getting.

The three lumias I've seen all seem to have this to a certain extent (the light on the sides is usually much thinner and normally on either the right or the left - not both).

ANyone?
[Nokia Lumia 920] uiqjirka:
I have two Lumia 920 and I got it there too
[Nokia Lumia 920] pencilcase:
Funny enough, I had mine sent in for repairs due to scratches on the screen. After having the screen replaced I have NO light Issues and no more dust issues.

Seems during the initial build the screen is not fitted in or glued in properly ?
[Nokia Lumia 920] paddylaz:
Oh christ....don't know what to do now. Could either wait until a new batch comes along without this issue or buy one now and send it off to Nokia. I'm rather depressed about the prospect of sending a brand new product away to be opened again :(

First world problems :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] Donny1987:
No leak here :D
[Nokia Lumia 920] paddylaz:
You GENUINELY have none? I.e. no thin strip of light running down the side(s), no light just above and to the right of the windows key? None above the search key? NONE?!

You must have been sent Elop's personal phone. I've looked at around 6...not that many admitedly, but all from different places so the maths of it all as coincidence is bleak.

Treasure it my friend.

[Nokia Lumia 920] paddylaz:
OK cheers guys....well I guess either I'm having a psychotic episode or the unlocked batches ive looked at in the UK are defective.

Thanks anyways x
[Nokia Lumia 920] Moylans:
How would you define the light leak, eg, if I look at the screen on a very extreme angle, I can see through a minute gap at the bottom and see light from those buttons through it through the screen, but in normal circumstances it isnt noticeable at all. like the light isnt uneven or anything like that

Telstra 920
[Nokia Lumia 920] paddylaz:
Well it's like in the picture link that I put on the first page - Except as well as the top and bottom, there's also a small amount on the sides too that can be made to partly disappear if you push down hard on the screen there - I.e. the impression the glue holding the screen down is loose. It appears on all the ones I've seen, but I don't know, if you guys say you haven't seem it maybe I've just had extraordinary bad luck! It doesn't affect the screen when looking at it normally but it makes me worry for the future - loose things tend to become looser with time, and my theory is this, the dust and the vibrate rattle are interconnected.
[Nokia Lumia 920] neftv:
I'm looking at my 920 and I think I see what you mean. On the top I see the light across almost the whole top but not at the sides or bottom. Is really a concern (I don't look at the phone at an extreme angle like that..)

Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 920] Moylans:
Oh ok sorry, I didn't look at the pic. The vibration rattle (from what I've read) is just how it is because of the kind of vibrator (for lack of a better word I can think of) technology. Would have been good to have a nice clean vibration humm being a flagship phone...

Nothing seems to change for me when I compress the screen. Perhaps you really did just get a bit of a dodgy one?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Droid-o-matic:
Me either. I just did it again to make certain I wasn't lying to you. I cannot see anything from any angle. Now I'm starting to feel a little guilty.
[Nokia Lumia 920] IronMan1289:
I'm on my second 920 because the first one had a problem with switching back to handset mode after unplugging a headphone jack, but neither of them have any light leak! Maybe it is a manufacturing defect because of rushed batches due to the supply problems?

NO light leak here either, but I have dust in the FFC.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
The issues that some people have.. Look at nearly any LCD device you can pic up and nearly 90% or more of them will have light leaks. All of the LCD based game consoles ie: PSP, Vita, Nintendo, most tablets, laptops, even monitors and TV's. They all have light leak to one extent or another if you look at from an angle that is not norm. Looking at these devices straight on as one should, you would never notice unless it was pointed out to you.

I'm sorry but it just annoys me when people pick apart devices especially over things that are norm in other devices.

Oh and I do have a very small light leak down by the buttons, but it requires to look almost straight down from the top of the device to see it. Not an angle that O would normally ever view the device from. So it is not a bother to me.
[Nokia Lumia 920] little_daffodil:
I have literally just received my brand new Lumina 920 which after inspection does have a light leak on the left hand side near where the Windows Buttons are. Can't say I'm overly happy about shelling out £520.00 and having this. Don't get me wrong, in every other aspect I adore this phone, but I think long term the light leak will really get on my nerves.

Will Nokia swap it for me!?

Best wishes,

Daffy
[Nokia Lumia 920] dc/dc:
I did not have it on my first one (which I swapped at a Microsoft store because it was stuck in wiping mode), but I did on the second. I had that one swapped as well, and the third one seems to be good.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nocturnal310:
leak on left bottom next to back button.

nokia care centre said they ll send it for repair.

sucks...wish they just changed my phone.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Do any of you have hand held game consoles? Look at them, they all have light leaks. Look at most tablets.... yep light leaks... Laptops? Yep. Light leaks and some of you shelled out over a grand for those. I don't get the point of complaining about something that is normal on other devices. It seems you all are just picking this one apart and the fact many have returned it for this reason is just beyond comprehension. I am amazed at the pickyness of some people and the fact they have such an awesome phone when actually having a phone is a pipe dream for some. 'I'm sorry, but if I ever get this superficial I hope I am put to a horrible slow death.

Yes mine has a light leak. Am I bothered by it? No, as I am the only one who knows it is there in it's very small presence and I don't see it unless I look for it. It's not worth the hassle or time to bother with.

Am i the only one whom is not bothered by such a trivial thing that is normal on most other devices?

brand new phone #2, first had light leak top and bottom and dust in ffc, second has one very small leak on bottom near back button and dust in ffc within the first two hours of exchanging it at the store. first one exchanged in a day and a half because of network issues (atrix2 was faster) and blue/purple tint to pictures and half the pic of the ffc was out of focus.

I've got a light leak at the top, but it doesn't bother me. the only thing that bothers me is the SoD, which happens about once in two days, and a creaking case. But it's not worth being without a phone for 3+ weeks, since my operator doesn't have any own stores at all, and since mine is ordered from their site I can't have it replaced at one of their retailers...

Hiiii,

just got lumia 920, i found that same issue,light leakage on my screen at bottom.. Upper than windows logo,

i bought this phone 2 hour ago, so my question is, should i replace my phone? Is that issue?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
It is only a visual issue. it does not affect the function or operation at all. It all boils down to how anal do you want to be with something that is considered normal in the LCD world. Most high end devices like monitors, Televisions, even the PSP have light leaks and they have never been considered a defect. i am not sure where this idea that a light leak is a defect now and should be repaired or replaced.

Has the world really become this superficial?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Mandeep148:
thanx,

i replaced my phone, but again same, and seen another 3 phones, have same but some have less.

so my question is,

is that all lumia 920's displays have visible on sides, i have really less, its not visible at daylight, but if we see at night totally dark, see then sides of screen, where thhat joind with body structure, its very very slightly visible, so its that normal?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
It's normal. Some people are just anal and at some point decide light leakage on an LCD was wrong and decided it was a fault worthy of product return. It is not. Look at any devise that uses an LCD. They all have leakage at some point and to some degree. This is normal. The issue is just how anal you want to be until you realize it is normal and no matter how many times you return it, you will get one that still leaks.

If you look at the LCD like you are supposed to you will never see it. it is only when you actually look at odd angles and purposely try to find the leaks is when you will see them.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Mandeep148:
thanx dear, you r right, i returenred 2 devices, but still got this, i think i will manage..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Smokie Smokerson:
Hey guys, to anyone who might be in Switzerland.

I've had the Note 10.1 N8010 since it got released here in Switzerland and since then there was just 1 Samsung fix update and so far, since last July or August there has been No updates at all for my device, not even the Exfat fix update which pretty much left me with no sd card support..

I'm just wondering for owners of this device in Switzerland, did you guys get any updates?

What firmware are you on?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Sanzein:
I'm on android version 4.0.4 with a 32gb sd card.

I don't think i got any update, i can't remember.

I'm from Neuchâtel.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Smokie Smokerson:
heh im glad im not the only one.. i mean, even on sammobile it shows that there hasnt been any updates for Switzerland since July 2012, but i still thought there was a problem with my device :silly: guess there isnt..

Just checked sammobile again and even Greece and China has the damn update heheh

Kinda weird that all the surrounding EU countries have it but Switzerland in the center of them all still has nothing..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] FSN:
I've bought the 8010 in december and it already included the exfat fix (I could insert the 64GB sandisk and everything worked fine).

Anyway, I did what I always do: I switched to a custom rom.

Switzerland was never very promising with software update speed, sadly :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Smokie Smokerson:
Yea.. To be honest it sucks..

I don't want to put anything custom, want to leave the stock rom..

I might just have to update to the UK or German versions.. Im just not too happy about the CSC number change.. Im not sure if I can still get future updates or not..

Kinda weird only the three of us have replied in this thread.. Makes me wonder how many they've sold here heheh

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellistol:
hello,

Okay, the problem is: my htc hd2 doesn't start. At all. Not even in magdlr. It just keeps black.

And afcourse it could be broken but this is what happened:

I wanted to use my sd-card for my phone, but it didn't work because the last owners put android on it.

So I searched on the internet and did the clockworkmod. But when I came to the boot part, it didn't work, and it got stuck there. And nothing worked, so I took out my battery (not the smartest thing to do I know) to restart it. But then my whole htc didn't start!

Did I break the battery? Or did I break the whole phone? I'm desperate!

And is it because the mod (which I already deleted from my sd card with and micro-sd-usb)?

Thanks for the answer (if I get them)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellistol:

alright i fixed it but:

I tried to download the clockworkmod on my htc hd2. But now i'm stuck in magdlr.

If I try:

- boot wph it says: wph not installed

- boot AD SD - sd kernel open failed

- boot AD NAND - NAND kernel open failed

with hardreset it just starts up but then goes into magdlr

with reset and powerdown too.

Help? And if I connect my phone to my laptop it doesn't say it's connected...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
have you installed wp7 yet?

do you have an sd version of android on the sd card, and have you set the default sd folder for magldr to look in for it?

have you installed a nand android yet?

hard reset does nothing when winmo isn't there.

no, it probably won't until you install some android drivers. (Install 'myphoneexplorer', , no need to actually use it, but it handily installs android usb drivers)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellistol:
alright, thanks! I thought wp7 didn't have to be installed, because I bought it from someone who put android on the phone. (windows phone 7)

I tried to have an sd version of android on the sd card, and I do not exactly know what you mean with: "have you set the default sd folder for magldr to look in for it" (sorry, i'm bad at this stuff, I just wanted to put apps on my phone again, which didn't work because the sd-card didn't work, (and that is because of the last owner...)

I thought a nand android was just the android system? Like, you build it from windows to android right? The last owners did that already, or is it something whole different?

But I will try and await your answer :)

I just want my phone to start up again! haha, I do not really care about the sd anymore, as long as the phone works!
