[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumaster20:
Sounds like some on the water (or whatever you used to apply the screen protector) got inside the phone, and damaged the switch.

Since your phone is still working, and reponds on connecting the two contact points, i assume the water did not damage the motherboard.

Seems like you need to buy a replacement switch. Google it or look on Ebay for it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eep2378:
This^^^. Also if you don't feel comfortable replacing/repairing it yourself, you can RMA it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overhauling:
Hopefully you can get it fixed, just make sure that next time that you try to apply a wet application screen protector you leave the device off for at least 12 hours. Apply it over night.

take that power button out and dip it in isopropyl alcohol/petrol,clean dry it with a brush/cloth and place it back,see if that brings it back to life..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashish2199:
Is this true ?

Thanks

I went to Technician .He opened the phone and did almost nothing

He told me that PCB is shorted but if so then how come everything else is working other than power button ?

Can the can the phone be fully working other than the power button when the PCB is shorted ???

was he lying or speaking truth ??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naenee:
It seems you already got the answers you were looking for - consider ordering a replacement switch as mumaster20 suggested.

There's no need for you to post links to this thread elsewhere.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicRam:
Yo can just clean the power button contacts & the contacts on the PCB and it should work, after that try the button before assembling the phone

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashish2199:
So I think that the button is not able to make contact with these two contacts on the PCB is that the mechanism ??

Or is the button (the two golden pins) always in contact and create a short only when button is pressed ??.

It would be really helpful if someone can answer that .

Thanks will be given .

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicRam:
When you press the power button it shorts the two contacts together so it must be clean, my guess is that you will find some salt from the water on the button contact which should be very easy to clean
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashish2199:
thanks

Ok thanks a lot !!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashish2199:
did what was said

Today I opened my Nexus 4

Did what was said . Cleaned all contacts and especially the power button !!

assembled everything back !!

Everything else is working now except the power button

One thing I observed is that even when I touched the two golden pins of power button using tweezers the screen turns on !!

So I think my power button is defective !!

So can anybody provide me a link where I can buy a power button .

or maybe anyone whose device is not working and may want to sell his power button .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashish2199:
Problem Solved

I would like to THANKS everybody who replied and gave me the courage to open this phone and repair my power button by myself !!:good::good::good::good:

I tried once again

The power button shown in second post was not working properly

It has two pins which short the pcb and the screen gets on

my power button was not able to provide a path for current to flow when it was pressed .

so i opened the phone , took out the power button

the power button has some tape over it so removed the tape

i saw that Power button had two rings and a circular metal plate which connects the two rings so that current can pass when pressed

I repositioned the metal plate so that it can completely cover the two rings and again put some tape on the ring .

and also expanded the two golden pins on the power button so that they can touch PCB easily

I reassembled the phone and tried to press the power button and it started working !!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

but the power button is very weak as compared to what i had earkier but I am afraid that the problem could return in future !! :( :(:(:(:(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MelquiXDA:
I do the same and button is OK again.

All the problem of this button is when the glue from the tape go to contacts and make bad contact. When you removes a half of tape, clean the internal contacts with alcohol and pass WD40 with cotton swab, the button is OK again. After this, put the tape on their place again. Dont need to put more tape, only use their original tape.

Hi!... As the topic says: my phone recognizes the charger, also the pc recognizes the phone, but it doesn't charge the battery, I've checkes on android 4.1 and 2.3.5 and stil the same thing, changed the battery for a new one and nothing, also new charger and nothing...

the last thing I did was change Radio 2.12 for 2.08 but still nothing, I don't know what to do....

please help!

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shanman-2:
Long shot but verfiy that your battery pins are sitting correctly ie. that they are parallel with the back of the phone, they can get pushed outwards and cause issues such as yours.

Otherwise your usb port looks like it may be damaged!

Edit: get a wall charger and a few spare batteries on eBay for $10 , ...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ROCK_H:
thanks for the comments guys, I've checked the pins, they're ok, but the usb conector not yet... the thing is this: I've got a battery charger and a new batterys so I can turn on the phone (until now is the only way) and then when the system is fully loaded the battery % shows 93 at max (24 hours chargin) yesterday, I noticed that it was discharging a little too fast... 4 hours aprox from 93 to 11 % ... so I restarted the phone, and magically it showed 53% of battery... so I think the problem might be software/firmware, that's the reason I mentioned the change of radio version

:(

well i try to charge my phone with small solar panel , the phone appear like charging (light on) , but it was`t , and the reason was that the small solar panel produce 4 volt and very low mile ampere (mA) , so maybe the problem with the charger (try to change it or charge through usb cable to laptop )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wiplive:
Hey guys, so now as I tried like all CM9 ROMs for Xperia U (Locked bootloader) I wasn't satisfied because of numerous things: battery life, random restarting, and on the last rom it was the worst. Started bootlooping out of nowhere. All my app data was gone (well the last Titanium backup, which was like 3 weeks old).

Now I would like to ask you guys, which is the best Stock ROM for Xperia U?

I have tried Xperiance Lite 3.0 (Might try if it updates, but that developer seems to be in-active) and the new one RowROM which I rushed to download as I needed my phone back to life again (after I got bootlooped from CM9).

I need: Good battery life (2-3 days, similar to stock), good performance, cool looking like custom SystemUI, obviously toggles on Status Bar because I don't like installing Power Toggles as RAM on Xperia U is enormous issue. And that's the last thing - a lot of free RAM.

Help appreciated!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mironkraft:
for me stock is 54, indian, or nother countryes, then you can modyfy it with zip files or etc

[Android General] Deleted member 4612619:
Yesterday i flashed a custom ROM and it didnt came with a File Manager installed with it.

Only way to Install apk was to connect to internet and download one File Manager.

While searching foe alternative methods i found 3 ways to install an apk without a FileManager or internet. :cowboy:

So far i've founded 3 methods

ADB

Terminal Emulator

For this method you should have terminal emulator installed on your device

Browser

If you have any problems installing ask here. :good:

If you know any other method tell me! :cool:
[Android General] luxandroid:
For browser method didn't know ;)
[Android General] CZroe:
Another method here. :D

But first, some back story:

I integrated a system update using Titanium Backup on my coworker's tablet which broke the stock Google keyboard. This wouldn't have been a problem if poking around the recovery menu didn't also stupidly wipe the thing without so much as a confirmation. Yes, "Vol Up" = "Make Selection" instead of "Move Up" and there was no confirmation prompt so I accidentally picked "Wipe eMMC" and was immediately greeted with "Formatting eMMC." All I wanted to do was look for some cache clearing options and pressed Vol Up to *gasp* see if I could move UP the menu (Vol Down moves down and I expected power/lock to be "Make Selection"). :(

Anyway, I had made a backup with Titanium Backup Pro when I first rooted his tablet (Verizon Ellipsis QMV7A) but it wasn't much use without a file manager and there was no way to use the browser or Play Store without a keyboard. There's also no ROM available, stock or otherwise. :(

The fix:

I didn't have a USB OTG adapter or a Bluetooth keyboard, but I did have my Galaxy Note 3 and the tablet did have Bluetooth. :D I paired them without needing the keyboard and initiated a file transfer to send a keyboard APK. It worked beautifully! I enabled alternate sources for APK installs, installed the keyboard, installed Titanium Backup, and was good to go! Of course, I then integrated it and a file manage into the ROM with Titanium Backup Pro. ;)

[Android General] Aryeean:
Hi from France

(1 - sorry for my english then

2 - sorry too if the paths I indicate are not very accurately named in english as my phone menus are in french

3 - I did what follows with success on my rooted Kitkat (build .77) Z3 Compact)

!!! FOR XPERIA OWNERS ONLY AS FLASHTOOL IS A DEDICATED TOOL FOR THESE DEVICES !!!

So if you've got Flashtool installed on your computer, you can also install APK's without the Internet nor a file manager.

All you need to do is:

- on your phone, select "USB debug" mode in the "Developer options" menu (if not activated, tap 7 times on the "About the phone" line at the bottom of the "Settings" menu),

- still on your phone, allow the installation of unknown app in "Settings" > "Security" or "Settings" > "App" (depending of your Android version),

- connect your phone to your PC,

- then on your computer, launch Flashtool,

- once your phone is recognized, click on APK Installer (curved right arrow button: 5th button from the left),

- select the .apk file you need (notice that if stored on your phone, you can select the one you want -click ctrl for selecting several apps ; but if located on your PC, it seems that Flashtool won't let you choose the one you want and will install all the .apk files existing in the folder where they've been downloaded).

That's it, your app should be installed and working.

Not tested on my Mac (did it on my PC under XP SP3), but I guess it should be working all the same.

And as I said above, I did this on a rooted Z3C, so I don't know if it would work on an unrooted phone.

Hope this has been helpful.

Thank you to Joe from the french forum Phonandroid.

Is There any way to install apk without root and without adb using terminal.......... like pm install package.apk

Like this can we install apk by terminal without root and without adb
[Android General] #neil:
No adb no browser nothing needed on this case .. You should be having the default- Downloads app right?

1 Go-to settings_storage_explore

2. Find the apk file use the copy option to copy it to downloads folder(cm 12 legacy xperia not able to open apk from this explore option)

3 launch the downloads and which is there as default

4 and open the apk from it

I found this more easy.

Good day.

Anyone tried to play MP3 files on an O2 XDA-II over the LAN? Just had this idea of 'wireless MP3 player' accessing a server over the network. I am using SanDisk Wi-Fi card (supposed to be 11b) and standard Media Player shipped with Windows PPC 2003 (T-mobile ROM V1.60). The source of MP3s is a Linux server with 100MB LAN connection and Samba 3.0. I am mounting a share using Resco file explorer and tapping on individual files. Unfortunately, there are 'click' sounds all the way around as if there is not enough bandwidth to play. I tried 224, 192, 128 kbps MP3s with same effect. Playing same files off a 512mb SDCard produces excellent results. The access point I am using is 3com OfficeConnect 11g. My notebook equipped with 3com OfficeConnect 11g PCMCIA card plays files perfectly (and xvid videos as well!). Any suggestions? Maybe there are third-party MP3 players doing some sort of buffering? Anyway - can't understand how an 11 megabit connection could not sustain network load of playing a 128 kbps MP3 file.
[Networking] karab95:
Have you tried running it off from your laptop or desktop computer running Windows XP/9x? Because I had the same experince when using Lunix, it was a Linux Mandrake 9.1 but should not have been any difference.

The other possiblity is the music player on the PPC, I encountered several unplayable MP3s (Yet it played fine on the PCs, don't ask why! :shock: )

Hope you got it resloved by now...
[Networking] bozy:
Yes, I did run same MP3 files off laptop with Windows XP and 2000 - runs fine. Moreover, tried SAME mp3 files off the SD card on O2 - plays perfect. It must be network, not Linux server. Unfortunately, got no solution yet.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karzka:
Because my i9000 has been horribly slow with the stock rom the past few months, I finally decided to give a custom ROM a shot.

I followed all of the steps to install SlimBean and I succeeded in doing so. However, I did not backup my EFS and upon booting SlimBean, my IMEI and BaseBand were empty. I've spent most of my day trying to fix this - turns out, I can't. After a few hours I decided to try flashing the stock ROM. I found one on sammobile and after data wiping with Odin I flashed it. Now my phone's stuck in a boot loop. When I turn it on, it plays the boot sound, then it plays the animation, after which it will show the S logo for a few moments. Then, it keeps restarting the animation.

I've spent a lot of time and effort on trying to fix this, and I've tried a ton of solutions I found through google and this forum's search function.

Is there anything I can do in my situation? Did I permanently screw up my phone?

Thank you very much in advance.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
So my wife left her phone on the roof of her car, then drove to work. Our neighbor dozens of houses away found it in his yard, tracked her down, and returned the phone. It worked for a few hours, then the screen died. The phone itself still works, but the screen will not come on. Apparently it got water damaged in this process, so we ended up getting a replacement thru insurance.

She would like to recover her photos from the old phone internal storage, but I can't get the computer to see the internal storage.

I can't remember exactly which recovery is installed, I think it's TWRP 2.2.1, but I'm not sure about that. I tried booting into recovery, then clicking on the screen where the "Mount" button is on my phone (TWRP 2.4.4), but her phone just vibrates when I click that location on her screen, and nothing happens.

Is there any way to force the phone to start into a mode that will allow me to access the internal storage?

I think I have USB debugging enabled, but it was many months since I rooted her phone, so I'm not sure exactly what the exact status of her software is on that phone.

thanks in advance for any help with this!
