[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
Power switch troubleshooting, teardown and fixes

Suddenly I had the power button problem too yesterday. I was watching the screen and it locked and vibrated like a FC. Then it shut down into a permanent 2.5 sec. intervals vibrating boot loop.

Recovery and Download modes were therefore unreachable. I could see one Samsung logo on the way to Recovery or quickly tap volume up at the Flash Warning screen and see the download Android go by before forced restart. Good, because the correct troubleshoot is that simply inserting the battery begins the loop. (It's your power button then!)

The external power switch remained spring loaded (physically operational), but ineffective. The problem is more internal. Tapping it on the table edge didn't help. I took out the battery, SD and SIM cards and seven cross head screws. Unsnapping the i727's back cover was easy using my fingernails; beginning with the slack space surrounding the volume rocker with the opposite hand clawing gently in the battery well, then threading your way around the case edge. The rocker freely floats out of position, so don't let it fall too far!. It is easily threaded back into position for reassembly.

Inside the external power switch's location is the plastic power button (short cylindrical nub on molded plastic block). That too was still spring loaded and physically operable, but ineffective versus the boot looping.

In my case, the hardware fix came by peeling up the corner of the mainboard nearest the button and blowing a few times, with the button edge facing down so gravity helps clean out any dust.

I tested by inserting the battery (voila! no vibration) and booting before shutting down for reassembly. I had a good soft screen lock button on my home screen's Widgetsoid custom widget and had largely ignored it. Now I have added the Smart Screen ON app and will use both. SSO offers both functions if you like. Thanks to the members who pointed out the troubleshooting, teardown and fixes detailed here.

This is for all those people who want the NightElf kernel but cannot download it because the official link is broken

great thanks to nightelf for the kernel!

i saw many people asking for links but it was still broken

if this re-uploading is offending the rules then please let me know, i'll take it down immediately.

i only have v10 of the kernel but not v10.1

also note that this is a GB kernel, not ICS or JB

please see attachments for the kernel :)

I flashed my wifes htc evo a long time ago and today she updated it and now it won boot past the white screen that says htc. I dont remember what method i used to root it. I really need to get this phone working because we cant afford a new phone right now.

in bootloader the phone says

"unlocked

current rom : Unknown

if anyone can point me in the right direction plz. I am using windows 7 and the phone was version 4.0 i believe.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
You should never accept OTAs on a rooted/custom ROM running phone. Most likely you will have to boot into recovery and wipe and flash a new ROM. Which means you'll lose any data not on your SD Card. Sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] dracuel:
Everything was backed up so losing things is no issue. I told her not to updatr but she didnt remember. What rom should I flash to fix this? I flashed venom and it now gets past the white screen but freezes at a black screen with the buttons lit up.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Are you completely wiping everything? I like Viper3D but any ROM should be fine as long as you make sure you follow the Devs requirements. Just wipe everything but sd in 4ext and flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] dracuel:
i wiped everything i will try that when i get up.
[HTC EVO 3D] dracuel:
Yeah i just flashed 3 different roms and none of them worked. I did venom 3d z3rt or something and a GT one. None worked.I get a white screen with the HTC on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kippui:
I had this problem recently. I had to run a RUU to fix it. I probably tried 10 times to flash a rom but none worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] dracuel:
which ruu was it? I tried running different ruus and they all fail. If you have one that would work plz share. wifes depressed over this lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Kippui:
im sorry you may not want to hear this but there isn't a ruu for your hboot from what i can read with s-on. you might have to do the s-off wiretrick and then run a ruu(you can use any if s-off). run the stock rom long enough to turn it off to flash a recovery -> install a rom. I happen to be using virgin mobile htc evo 3d so I was on hboot 1.57 so there is ruu that contains the stock vm rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] dracuel:
fixed by relocking the phone then installing a new ruu.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kippui:
exactly you might have to do more work to get it than me. as in you might have to get that phone to S-off and then try to run whatever ruu you was running before.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Westylakey:
Hi, I think I am having the same problem.

About 30 minutes ago I missed a call, Phone was on my desk 2 meters away?? He then rang back and the phone was in front of me with the call screen but no sound, I checked all volume levels and they were all high.

Now when I altered the volume with the rocker switch (Down then up) the volume came back

I also had this same problem a few weeks ago when I was running custom Samsung roms, But that was mainly to do with the alarm going off but not sounding. So I reverted back to stock because of those issues and now that I am getting the same problems on the stock software it must be a hardware fault.

So I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the rom but the hardware instead somehow. I Don't want to but I may have to send my phone off.

[HTC Droid DNA] Avalanch3:
Hi all, I've had my DNA since launch and its had this very odd WiFi problem where it keeps turning on and off randomly. I've tried to fix it by running those special WiFi fix apps, custom roms and kernels, but nothing has fixed it. I've RUU'd my phone back to stock and my phone says LOCKED, however it still says S-Off. I was going to go to Verizon today to get a replacement because the WiFi is un-usuable on this phone. Is there a way to get S-On or will they even care? Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] ch0ppy:
I'm about to do S-OFF myself then RUU. Because I want to get mine to say locked again. I've got to goto Verizon and get a replacement, my sim slot keeps having issues. I hope all goes well by doing it the way I'm going to do it...

I'm also nervous about the S-Off being there when I return it
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
They won't even care.

But there is a way to get s on(its a single adb command iirc) that you can do if you really want to.

And as far as your Wi-Fi problem. Have you tried a different router. I have 2 routers at my house. On one of them it drops out constantly while on the other I haven't ever had a drop
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I have an IP lease issue with one of my access points and it causes my phone to do that. Rebooting the access point cures it so i can tell from that and some troubleshooting that it has to do with the router/access point/device connection process and a certain time period. Just haven't had a chance to look into it.

Perhaps there is a launcher setting to allow the app to persist in memory? Phone might be killing the task after a long period of inactivity, causing problems when relaunching in the form of redraws.

I have a Vivo Tab Smart. Initially, I had to two-finger scroll in programs. This allowed me to draw in a PDF annotating program and to highlight cells in Office 2007. After doing a pinch-to-zoom in the program, one finger scrolling becomes enabled and now any vertical swiping in these programs scrolls instead of drawing or highlighting. Does anybody know how to fix this?

If you are into customization and other things then definitely look the other way or utilize the 15 minute return policy.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] speedsys:
The concept of the launcher is great! But the main problem that I have had with it is that it eats a lot of battery ( I guess it's because of the weather widget/GPS usage ). The launcher otherwise has some pretty nice features, such as seperate desktops and reminders to change them when you arrive at a particular point/time.

Great concept. But still needs some improvement, here and there.

Having had a lot of android devices (started with the T-Mobile G1) sometimes i`am a bit (not realy) boared with android. Don`t get me wrong, i like android and the Nexus 4 but sometimes i feel like trying some other OS. The next thing after android would be WP 8 as i`am never going to buy a iPhone.

But off course WP8 has its disadvantages over android like (as far as i know):

1. low level development

2. Limited app store

3. Static UI, so no widgets and no other launchers like android.

I Played around with a Lumia 920 today and it worked quite well. I`d realy appreciate if future or former WP8 users could post some xperiences about the pro`s and cons.
