[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I replaced the digitizer on my phone, (first time successfully :) ) but i have one problem, there is a spot on my phone where the search button is on the Google Play Store, it wont recognize my touch, its only this one spot, how can I fix this? I know i can turn my phone landscape to click it and that works for now, but I want a permanent solution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Are you rooted? Does it recognize the same spot when you're on the home screen or other applications or is it just when you're in the play store? If its just the play store then try clearing data/cache for the play store

I am rooted yes, and it is on all screens/applications, but heres the strange part, when i rotate you landscape mode, the exact same spot works fine, there are no dead spots in Landscape mode.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Try backing up (nandroid) and reflash your rom with a fresh wipe

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I tried it and it didn't work :( i even tried a new rom, it must be a bad digitizer. I appreciate the help anyway. If anyone has any other suggestions let me hear them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
If you tried Flashing a different Rom, and it didn't work. Then I would suggest reopening the Device. Recheck your work. Sounds like youi might have a Bad connection. What I mean is that one of your Cables might not be connected properly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaz1nr:
When you replaced the screen. There were three connections to make. The main ribbon on bottom and two on the left side. You have to make sure after you clamp the ribbons.(with the little white clips) that they are in all the way,and don't move around.

One has the contacts facing up,it has a different clamp that flips up. if you didn't correctly clamp them you can get a dead spot. Also if the glass isn't printed sprint,you could've gotten a cheap reproduction.

With a booted device, su available and terminal installed try 'reboot recovery'. Do you have a jig? That forces your device to boot in to download mode.

I did the wire trick and now I have a different hboot. And now my phone will not boot. It keeps looping through the HTC screen. How can I put the 2.25.0000 hboot back on? It says 2.25.2525 now. And =Juopunuutbear= at the top. Help.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
2.25.2525 is a hex edited version of 2.25.0000 that lets you use extended fastboot commands. There's no need to get rid of it, and changing it won't help you boot. It sounds like the backups weren't restored properly at the end of the process. Were you on the stock ROM? Weird issues like that happen a lot when you're on a non-stock ROM. Reflash your recovery through fastboot and restore your nandroid. (You did backup before you s-off'ed, right?) If you don't have a backup, reflash your ROM.
[HTC Rezound] joeymagnus1:
I was on ViperRez. I tried restoring my nandroid. It didn't work. Tried updating using the Android Police RUU 4.03.605.2. And now it just keeps restarting into hboot.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
you will need to run the ruu twice. the first time it only updates 4 things. second will update the whole phone.

after that you will need to flash a recovery of your choice

then restore viper rom or start fresh
[HTC Rezound] joeymagnus1:
Took three times to flash. But it started. fwooo! I'll redo the recovery later. Thanks for your help.Off to work.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JC_PR:
I was using flashtool to put back on my r800at, (bootloader unlocked, rooted, doomkernel) ginger version 2.3.4. because i wanted to put it back on stock. when i was on flashtool options I unchecked the option to include the kernel on the file to keep doomkernel. Flashed it and now it doesnt turn on. Tried to flash it again but flashtool doesnt detect when the back button is being pressed. My computer detects(or makes the sound) that a device is being plugged in but nothing happens.

Now, did i just brick my phone?

This is suddenly showing up under dun nai. It was blank. Is this new in ice? It wasn't there immediately following the update.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Dun is dial up networking which identifies your device when you use tethering. I remember having to disable dun back on the dinc2 but I don't know if it is still necessary.
[Thunderbolt General] lemew:
I was thinking when tethering was free on the thunderbolt that string was in place under dun but that they removed it with one of the first updates. Anyway, it is showing up there now for whatever reason.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
They may be trying to monitor tethering again for whatever reason.
[Thunderbolt General] lemew:
Good to know. I pay for hotspot so I'm covered. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Isn't that service free now? I thought the share plan included tethering.
[Thunderbolt General] lemew:
I'm not on a share plan. I'm still on nationwide with unlimited therefore I have to pay for tether.
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyco2008:
If this ever becomes a problem, I remember being able to flash back to a pre-July 2011 stock ROM to get free, legit tethering back, not that I would use HTC Mobile Hotspot over vanilla Android wireless tethering =)

But yeah recall the July 2011 update that updated the Mobile Hotspot app so that it would not work without your being a tethering plan subscriber, Verizon's cool like that.
[Thunderbolt General] lemew:
I pay for mobile hotspot. That's why it showing up baffles me. Maybe its supposed to be like that, I don't know. I read where someone mentioned that was what it was supposed to show prior to the update that removed tether. I am on stock ics at this time.
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyco2008:
If tethering works, I wouldn't worry.
[Thunderbolt General] lemew:
Yeah, its cool.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sshariff:
My earpiece stopped working today. This is the second time the earpiece of my Xperia T died. The first time was in October when I had the phone replaced as it was within the one month period. The very same thing has happened again with me within a few months of getting my replacement handset. I was able to locate another person who had the very same problem on some forums. I definitely think that the build quality of this phone is not as it ought to be as it cannot be a coincidence that I got the same issue twice with two separate brand new handsets!

Have just booked a repair with Sony's authorised repairer (SBE limited in UK). Has anyone else faced the same problem here?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ruwsoft:
I had issues of people finding it hard to hear me..meaning mic volume isnt enough. Got it replaced within the one month period to a brand new one.

Issue seemed to have reduced then but now its there many times, thus I have to speak louder than usual. Yet couldnt be bothered to go for a repair.

Not many users seem to have this issue. When did you get your first handset? I got mine on end of Sept (more or less release day in uk..) I have a feeling its to do with a specific batch (similar to the peeling issue)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sshariff:
I got mine at the release date as well! Then had it replaced after 3 weeks...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sshariff:
Solved the issue!

The exact details of this issue can be seen at talkDOTsonymobileDOTcomDASHthreadDASH56851?start=0&tstart=0

(Sorry for that bad URL as I am too new to copy links)

I did a factory reset, flashed ICS from JB Europe generic, then updated to UK generic JB via PC Companion. Still the problem did not go. Then just out of curiosity I checked if I could hear sound from my Sony supplied headphones, and I could. I then removed the headphones and bingo everything is back to normal.

I think there is an inherent software bug with the Sony software for this phone where under some odd scenario sound gets disabled. Maybe if anyone else gets into a similar situation they can take heed of the resolution. Saved a couple of weeks at the repair shop at least!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] blackieharris:
Same Problem

Hey guys.

I've searched too many times for a solution to this and can't seem to find anybody with the same problem with a fix. MMS messages won't send or receive on my gnex. On ANY ROM other than miui, with how buggy that is on the gnex, I would rather stay on PA. I've tried custom and stock MMS apps. Checked my APN settings numerous times, but nothing seems to work. No idea why this could be?

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrjwgh:
I'm pretty sure this is the most ridiculous question our wildfire devs will ever hear.... but anyways here it goes!..:p.

I was wondering if kernel 3.x is applicable/possible/needed for wildfire???.(the devs can laugh now!:o)...It's just that I'm currently following many device forums on xda and they seem to be pretty excited about the kernel 3.0 stuff.....I just wanted to know if our wildfire can have the luxury of kernel 3.x ...:confused:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Well I don't profess to know what needs to be done but I imagine that all the drivers will need to be ported, as well as that fact that we have no gpu. That could cause issues with the kernel hacks that are already in place just so we can run gingerbread, let alone jellybean. Which I think is needed for the 3.x kernel. But again I don't know, I'm just speculating.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
U think 3.x kernels should work on ICS as well, since my phone came with ICS and a 3.x kernel.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyker:
This is particularly true for those who are un-rooted and on Stock where wiping battery stats is not available.

I bought my N4 on 1st of Feb, and the first two charge cycles, when the phone powered off due to the OS reporting the battery at 0%, I was unable to power it back on. This is great, as the phone battery is truly empty!

Some charge cycles later, my phone would power off due to the OS reporting 0% - however, I would feel as though the battery didn't last as long as I was used to.

So to make sure the battery is truly dead... I boot into fastboot mode by pressing Volume Down and Power on straight after it shut itself down. The phone stayed on for a further 27mins, bearing in mind that in this mode, the screen is on full brightness and always on. 27mins of screen on time for a phone that manages only about 4hrs of screen on time at best, is a considerable amount of left over juice in the battery that the OS is missing out on.

Normally to correct this, we charge up to 100% and wipe battery stats in CWM.

[GUIDE]

I have found that to leave the phone on in fastboot mode until it drains the battery out completely, plug in your charger, then boot into Android, would show the battery at 0% - this is a TRUE 0%... charge it all the way up to 100% and you should have back your full battery performance. Don't forget to allow the 99% - 100% time. This is very important - It will make it to 100% eventually, be patient.

This is all based on my assumptions/guestimates/theory - please do comment and correct if you are the wiser. [though for now, it works flawlessly]

OT - This does highlight a flaw in the OS however, it's a problem with all Android devices, will they ever fix it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You're just calibrating the battery. I'm sure most of us already let it die without needing t enter fast boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Censura_Umbra:
Also, you should not drain it to such an extent. If a battery ever reaches true zero, it won't turn on again or charge. The phone turns off (says zero) around an actual 5% because they don't want you to destroy your battery
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Exactly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatalityBoyZahy:
These are Li-Po batteries
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyker:
I guess I wasnt clear or there was a misunderstanding... I let it die, reaches 0% and starts to power off, I then boot it into fast boot mode, and find the battery with at least another 30mins of screen on time. This extra battery is what I'm trying to calibrate back into the OS stats.

Good observation, always worthwhile hearing other opinions. I would say though, that 30mins of screen on time would be more than 5%.

I'm in my experience, the phone was fully dead after leaving it on in fastboot mode, battery all out. Then I plugged it into the charger, I got a flashing red light, and then the battery charge icon appeared. I then booted up and the OS reported a true 0%. This charge cycle, since I did this I'm at 28hrs with 20% to go with everything on [Wifi etc]

But so far, it's been a great way to get the most out of the battery.... lets get some more opinions, good or bad..

All thoughts welcome! :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
The flaw in this argument is that wiping battery stats in recovery does absolutely nothing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyker:
If that really is the case, then surely that makes this approach even more convincing as something that "works" in maintaining good battery life!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhericurls:
You can't drain the battery fully when its on because the device has protection against draining the battery to a point which will damage it. In fast boot this control is not in place.

Is this worth doing? No. Our battery aren't replaceable and shortening its life to gain 5% is not worth it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyker:
I understand, good point, however we're not talking about just 5% here!

Explain how I was able to get an additional 30 mins screen on time!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
As skeptical as we can be, a lot of things can affect battery life so the extra 30mins could come from a number of factors.

On another note, I usually get 4-5 hours of screen time on my nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Because it takes much less battery on fastboot mode? Radios don't need to be on , brightness is minimal, only 1 CPU runs at lowest frequency, flash memory is not powered on?

To have a logical argument here, we must know how long fully charged battery lasts under fastboot.

And in agreement with many other voices, I don't think draining battery obove manufacturer threshold is a brilliant idea.
