[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sl0e:
The battery was at 14% at the time of power+vol up wake up. I didn't charge it though, I plugged in the charger just to see if there was a LED on, but there wasn't any LED response whatsoever.

That must be it. At the moment of the brick, screen gradually turned off, with darker colors becoming instantly black, and brigther colors getting a yellow tint just before everything vanished from the screen. Thing is though, the phone didn't react to the power+vol up combo right away, but two hours later and almost four minutes of holding the buttons.

One more thing that I noticed was, when the phone was connected to my pc, if I held the power+vol up, the pc would add/remove my hardware in a cycle, or at least play the sound of a device connected/disconnected. The phone still remained dead, but returned later for a miraculous wake up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RazorMC:
I'm not an expert, but this is probably your phone entering fastboot mode and then being disconnected due to incorrect drivers on the PC.

Glad your phone came back though. Comatose phones are terrifying, no?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sl0e:
I'm not out of the woods yet.

Please excuse me ignorance on this. I wish to install a BT Car Kit soon and later a BT GPS both for use in conjunction with my XDA II. Can anyone confirm that I can use BOTH devices in my car with the XDA II?

A colleague tells me that to have both devices working with the XDA II via Bluetooth will probably not work. If he is right I will go BT Car kit and wired GPS.

Plus does anyone have experience of the Original Parrot DriveBlue Bluetooth Car Kit (Just plugs into the cigar lighter socket no installation required (easily moved from car to car) , working in conjunction with the XDA II? Any advice or experience appreciated. Thanks, Steve

bt in your car

Steve, I have been using my Jabra BT200 and TomTom BT GPS together in my car without problems (after using Towa's fix). Have read that others have used many different combinations of handsfree & gps thru bt. Hope this helps!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Steve Grunnill:
Re: bt in your car

Chop, thanks for this. Please excuse my ignorance but a more learned colleague has asked me to ask if Towa's fix (to sort out the GPS/BT problem) is a software patch or a firmware fix? Do you know the answer to this? Many thanks for your help. Steve

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spirotech:
Since i have my new Sony Xperia S, i have always problems with connection in 3g and 2g.

The signal changes from very good to very bad or to no signal, even if i stay in the same position.

I live in Italy and my provider is Vodafone, the same i had with my Samsung SII.

I just tried Stock Software 6.1.A.2.45 / 6.1.A.2.50 and 6.1.A.2.55 with different basebands.

I also tried WDMA/GSM or only WDMA (3g) or only GSM (2g).

Any idea, what else i can try ?

Is there a custom rom, with older or better baseband in generally or for Italy ?

best regards from

[Motorola Droid 4] Guyinlaca:
A few friends of mine have had to get certified like new Droid 4 replacements and the quality is all over the map. I've seen 3 that are that had build dates in mid 2012, had HW A were clearly refurbished with loose sliders, loose power/volume keys. Sure the housing may have been new but the assembly was poor. One replacement I saw was brand new (date code 03/13) no refurb sticker on it, and is built like a tank/runs very smoothly. I really hope Verizon isn't recirculating the bad batches with speaker problems. I'd be curious if anyone else has had any experience with D4 replacements.
[Motorola Droid 4] Marvin-:
I have. In fact I've replace my phone twice now for the same issue. And that is the audio jack keeps going bad. And on my newest replacement there seems to be some warping in the casing just under the hole to remove the back. I haven't been too impressed with therir replacements.

[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I don't have an upgrade avaliable and I really don't want to blow several hundred dollars so I'm going to stay with my dna until my upgrade. That's what I have always done.

So if they retire it, does that mean we aren't going to receive any more ota updates.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jhall8:
I've been looking at the DNA for my next phone, but I'm going to watch these developments carefully. Having owned a Bionic, I'm wary of buying another model which may be replaced after a very short run.
[HTC Droid DNA] [TSON]:
We have an amazing phone, it's more powerful than all of the phones out right now, has decent battery life, decent reception, and doesn't look half bad - it's the tail end of the last generation of phones. It's nothing to be ashamed of. And we'll have a fully working CM very soon too. Yeah, the One is nice and all, but really this phone is a beast that's gonna stand on its own for quite a while. Top-of-the-line phones always lose their crown eventually.
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
yeah, we couldn't order DNA's anymore back in my store lol...guess she's dunzo.
[HTC Droid DNA] bluesamg:
I like my DNA. I don't think its worth it to get an HTC One because the screen is smaller, and no QI wireless charging(But when will i ever use it?) The DNA seems to be almost the same size. I can care less about the front speakers, but more storage is better. My DNA is smooth enough. The One's camera seems cool, and UI looks nice(but we may get an update). Hopefully we get a DNA+ instead.

To answer a question above yes we will still see updates. The og incredible and charge got an update recently for crying out loud and those have been retired for over a year. I can bet however our sense 5 update just got pushed back. Hopefully not the usual Verizon time frame where we don't see it until 2014.
[HTC Droid DNA] zeeza57:
I like my DNA. Just hope the Htc one doesn't turn out to have issues like TB. Htc seems in a bit of a rush to put out more phones that are not super updated phones over the last model. I like the DNA screen size. Not real concerned with speakers as DNA sounds great with external speaker. Camera is fine, I will live with the camera till next upgrade. More storage would be nice but now not a deal breaker. Sounds like Htc is taking after motorola same phone some minor changes.! doesnt have me in a rush for a new phone as wtf another version is just around the corner in a few months lol. Just think of what will be out 2 yrs from now!!!!!

[HTC Droid DNA] Serinety:
You know you can just call and have them swap out your DNA to the new phone.. whatever it is.

That's how I got my DNA.. swapped my gs3 for it. Then again, I've also been a customer for 10years, and have been paying them 200 bucks a month the entire time....
[HTC Droid DNA] Novakingwai:
Seems like such a waste. The commercials for the phone were kick ass. And the name too. "DNA" Gonna replace it with something called the "One" after only 4 months?

Oh well. Still amazing phone. Great features. The One isn't even really different. They're only trying to market to the people who have to upgrade their phone every 6 months for the newest and greatest.
[HTC Droid DNA] idkwhothatis123:
I'd probably swap out to a note 2. The DNA is a killer phone but the One kills me on the smaller screen. Sucks. Hope my DNA never poops out.
[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:
This is so embarrassing lol. My opinion is the same now as when I got my DNA... I will be getting the one or whatever the Verizon equivalent is the first day it comes out.
[HTC Droid DNA] XSWG:
After 4 months being "retired" this means HTC is really putting all of their power and manufacturing power into the DNA+. Personally I hope it has an SD card slot and better battery life because those would be two extremely high selling points to get me to upgrade

Everyone seems pretty sad this phone is leaving, but I can't wait to get rid of it. I'm on number 3, all with the same radio failure issue. The new one is starting to show signs of the same issue and it is less than 2 weeks old. I always thought samsung radios were crap, this thing is on another level of horrible. I like the hardware, the screen, and the size and feel of the phone. The radio kills it for me.

Unless there is some miracle fix for the radio I'm probably going to downgrade back to the SGSIII.

So I saw the DNA on Verizon's website today. Was this a bad April's fools joke ?
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Mod should lock v this thread as the DNA is back up
[HTC Droid DNA] xjman:
The radio works fine for around 2 weeks then slowly dies a horrible painful death. Sometimes it starts getting a sim error, other times is just never connects to data. Usually I catch it because I can't send text messages. The first few days the problem starts I can reset the phone, or do a factory reset on it and it will work fine for a few hours. Then eventually after a day or two it doesn't help.

That is always the first thing they do. It doesn't help. The first one I had the new SIM put in it, thought all was well. Went home and that night I realized that no text I had sent since replacing my sim went through and my data was dead again. Took it back the next day ordered another one. When it came in it worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks then the problem started again, took it in, put another sim card in it. This time I stood in the store for about 15 minutes and it did it again.

If you guys have a fix for this let me know. I've tried every damn thing. I thought it may be an app I'm downloading, so I didn't download any apps on the second one. Then I thought it was maybe poor reception, but it can't be because the problem happens everywhere I have normal strong service when the phone is working right. I'm at a total loss. I really really like the phone, but if it isn't going to work right for me I'm going to have to go elsewhere.

This is also further reason for me to leave CDMA networks all together.
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
I don't understand the whole CDMA comment (VZW has the fastest, most reliable network), but as far as your Q about any other ideas...

If your bootloader is unlocked and you've S-offed the phone, I would suggest the firmware (Radios) from the 2.04 OTA update.

Have your replacement phones come with the OTA pre-installed? If they have, then there is currently (to my knowledge) no way to unlock. But, that may not be a priority for you.

Sent from my HTC DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] xjman:
Yes, the replacements come with the OTA.

I say that because I've yet to have a GSM based android phone that has any radio issues.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
There is a way to unlock, it can be downgraded, unlocked, unlocked and s off etc using JTAG, so for a very inexpensive price you can get a reputable shop or service center such as the shop mobile tech videos to JTAG your phone. Somewhere around the price of $20 to $40

However as a sidenote xjman has way more problems than something device related if he's had issues with all the replacements so I think changing devices is the best option.
[HTC Droid DNA] idle0095:
I made a blog to voice to the VZW CEO about this.

hmmmm, not that i'm aware of (please anyone else, correct me if i'm wrong) but i can't see you running in to many problems which could effect your efs if you're not rooted. AFAIK it only gets corrupt, via flashing roms and etc, which requires root access (again, someone correct me if i'm wrong)

yes, you can flash a recovery and back it up using that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
recovery does not affect root. I recommend using TWRP or Philz as they have built-in EFS backup capabilities
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolshubh:
I would suggest you that first root ur phone wit the samsung galaxy s3 toolkit.

This toolkit alsoo has a option to backup the efs folder at the same time.. .

Or otherwise root and download hellcats efs backup app from play store and then u have a efs back up in seconds..
