Hi everyone,

So I've had many problems with my phone (Galaxy S3 by Videotron) ever since I rooted it (5 days ago). It started by simply turning off on its own and taking a lot of time to boot back up. Today, it started doing bizarre things: for instance it wouldn't boot at all unless I tried many many times (it would get stuck at the Samsung logo). Also, when I managed to boot it, the touchscreen wouldn't work very well when I used the keyboard (i.e. if I pressed 'a', it would press 'n' for example and so forth).

So I decided I wanted to master reset it, but whenever I restarted the phone to get into recovery mode, I managed to get there but once it got stuck on the android icon. So I took off the battery and ever since began my huge problems. After that I just couldn't get it to boot back up (always getting stuck at the samsung logo). So I had to take off and replace the battery many times, and now there is absolutely nothing that makes it even get to the samsung logo. I tried the download mode, recovery mode, plugging it on the computer, taking off the battery and plugging the USB: absolutely nothing helps, it's as if the phone is just dead. At this point I have lost any hope :( If anyone has a suggestion on what I could do, I would be super grateful! And if it is impossible to get it back to work, please let me know also so I don't get any hopes.

TL;DR: Phone doesn't boot at all: nothing shows up when I try to boot it, even in recovery mode and download mode. Same thing if I try to plug it to a computer.

Thanks a lot

PS. Forgot to mention, the phone was charged before it stopped working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: dead phone

Just because it was charged before it stopped working it does not mean it's charged now so

beg, borrow or steal a new or used fully charged battery and see if you can go into recovery.

OR buy a external battery charger and charge the existing battery.

If you cannot afford a battery charger then beg borrow or steal one.

If you cannot beg, borrow or steal a battery then what I am about to tell you will sound very

strange... but here it goes, this test will let you know if your phone is bricked or not.

Remove the battery and put it into the freezer for at least a couple hours.

Remove the battery from the freezer and wipe all the moister off of it.

Replace the battery in the phone and simply try to turn the power on.

If anything comes up on your screen like the ANDROID logo or anything else it means your phone is NOT bricked

and it means that it needs a fully charged battery to continue to fix whatever the issue is you are having with the phone.

If nothing comes up on the screen and its totally blank black screen then the phone is bricked and needs to be Jtag'ed.

It costs between $30 to $60 bucks to send it to a cell phone shop and have it fixed. There are many of them on eBay.

Good Luck!

Hi i have spice MI 410, or Huaweii Ideos X6 phone, iam fed up of this phone, everthing is working except the calling issuing.

If i make a call or receive a call the call goes blank, then i have to reconnect again and again it goes blank, i gave it to the service center but still the same problem, last time in this forum i got a reply to do sharp fix 2, i dont have any idea how to do sharp fix

Can someone take some time and help me to flash to shap fix 2, how to do CWM recovery mode in detail step by step how to do it

And the links also side by side,

You help will be greatly appreciated
[Huawei Ideos X6] wesleyel:
Why don't u try other networks to see, as in change your sim card to another sim on another network to see if its actually a hardware problem cos if it is, there is no amount of flashing that would solve that. Your case might just be a case of a faulty sim card, an unregistered sim card, or even an expired one. Just check another network, try your sim card with another phone to check to be absolutely sure.

Hi there,

I have been using google play music as my default player and i kinda like it. But recently it has been very strangely.

While playing music when i'm on the now playing screen, if i rotate my tab or lock it and then unlock it, the time of seek bar becomes --:--

and when i try to use the seek bar the song restarts, else the seek bar works normally.

I have a p3100 running cm 10.1 rc2 and simple cyanogen kernel....

And the problem also is in my phones google play music, which is still not updated to the new play music( one which came yesterday after the i/o) so i can guess this is not a rom related or device related problem( my phone is galaxy s running xylon custom rom 4.2.2)

I tried clearing the cache and data and even fix permissions from recovery, cuz play music is a system app, but i had no luck.

Now i'm out of ideas and any help is appreciated.

Thx

edit : solved to remove the apk using no bloat and reinstall from market then fix permissions

Mods please delete this thread... Thx

Hi,

I have the following.

XDAII (ROM 1.72.WWE)

Parrot CK3000 (to be installed)

Would like to buy:

Bluetooth GPS/ Wired GPS .

Can you help me in solving some issues/question

1) The software for the Parrot CK3000 is the 3.11. It seems that to update it to the new firmware 3.13 will need to send the unit in France (grrrrrr!!!). You think I need to update the unit ?

(I would prefer to install the unit knowing before if it will work, since it cost money to mount the unit in the car)

2) Using a Bluetooth GPS versus wired GPS. Is it really better a Bluetooth system?

I mean, you will need to charge the Bluetooth GPS once in a while, which means cables in the car anyway, no?

Do not really understand the usage of a bluetooth objects that needs to be charged (I do not need it outside the car)

3) The configuration as in the subject does it work smoothly? For which GPS

Thanks for your time and regards.

Claudio.
[General Accessories] alfiejts:
Claudio,

1) I'm afraid that I don't know the difference between firmware v3.11 and v3.13. Maybe you can find this out from the Parrott web site or by asking them? I can only tell you that v3.13 works OK for me.

You shouldn't have to ship the unit back to France, but according to their web site, you will have to buy an adaptor unit to connect o your unit, to allow you to apply a firmware upgrade that you download from their web site.

Maybe if you can find a forum of Parrot users in your area, you could borrow or rent an upgrade unit from someone nearby...

2) With regard to the choice between wired and wireless GPS - there are pros and cons to each.

The bluetooth GPS can easily be swapped between cars, so if, like me, you occasionally use hire cars for work, you can readily swap the unit between them.

I also have a wired GPS unit and because I hate seeing wires, I have plumbed all the wiring out of sight behind the dashboard. The wired unit works just great and, as you say, it means that there's always power to the GPS unit and to the PDA.

The best I get is 4 - 5 hours from a full charge and on my last business trip the unit went flat. SO yes - its a pain to have to keep recharging the PDA and BT GPS unit when you get out of the car.

I have just ordered a wired GPS connector for my PDA, so that I can plumb in my wired receiver and use it via the power unit in the car.

But - I also have Memory Map software for rambling and walking - and for that you can't have a hard wired GPS receiver unless you want to carry around a big battery too! So if you want to use the unit outside the car or expect to be regularly swapping between cars, bluetooth is the most flexible option...

3) Either unit works smoothly and it all works smoothly with the Parrot car kit. I just need to soft-reset about twice a week when the auto-bonding stops working for some reason between the Parrot and the PDA....

I'm using TomTom Navigator 3, with the important v3.03 upgrade, TomTom's own bluetooth GPS receiver and I also use a Leadtek 9532 wired receiver & power supply cable which I sourced from Linda at www.tdc.co.uk (and I can highly recommend them...)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharonx:
I am searching a PHONE alternative (one you see during a call) , I really liked Samsung phone but can't find even one replacement (there are ones only for the contacts and dialer).

I wish there was a Samsung look alike phone for AOSP.

I am with ParanoidAndroid 3.15 ROM on i9100.

Also I miss the green highlight on the notification bar during a call.

If someone know how to write such an phone.apk app, I will pay him nicely.

A good thing about exdialer is the theme support. So there are many different good working themes. I used exdialer a long time on my lg l9 with a holo theme. Works good stable, fast and Battery friendly. The green lighted StatusBar... I have no idea. When i am on homescreen during a call, so i can pulldown the statusbar and can click hang on or can go back to the telephon screen. Thats enough for me.

A lot of these tweaks are built into most roms, including lifeless.

Also besides the possible placebo effect. It's just rearranging how aggressively apps are killed.

Hello, I have a galaxy s2 running 4.2.2 jelly bean and I'd like to know how to use 3g networks. When I activate data in the notification bar I have the H icon instead of 3g and I don't know why...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
H is HSDPA which offers faster data speeds than vanilla 3G. Most networks will leave your connection @ 3G when it's idling (I.E you're connected but not pulling/pushing data) & will ramp up to higher speeds automatically when it detects you start moving data on the connection again.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snobrdr2324:
Hey everyone. Now i've been browsing around my local craigslist and swappa to get myself a 16gb nexus 4 for a good price. I have missed some good deals but today I found a local guy who agreed to sell me his 8gb nexus 4 for 215 bucks. Now assuming the phone is in good condition which it appears to be in the pictures, is this worth it to get the 8gb version? I really don't NEED the 16gb but I usually buy more than I need just for peace of mind, but this deal seems so good it would be worth the sacrifice. Obviously you can't tell me how much space I am going to need but should I consider reduced resale value on the 8gb version or other issues? I currently have 32gb on internal on my iPhone 5 and excluding the system partition I am only using 7.7gb, which I could easily trim down by about 4-5gb if I had any reason to, so it seems as if 8gb is plenty. Let me know what you think about this deal or if I should hold off for a 16gb version.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrFanta5stic:
I went back and forth on the 8 vs 16 issue when I bought my Nexus. I ended up with the 8 and haven't looked back. All of my music is on Google Play, so I stream just about anything I want to listen to and I can always change out playlists every now and then. I also have a couple of games that take up a large amount of space but I haven't had any storage issues as of yet not do I foresee any in the future.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me as long as it really is in good condition.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snobrdr2324:
That's good to hear since that sounds like my exact situation. I have unlimited data with ATT still and 50gb of Dropbox + google music but my only concern was nandroid backups and roms taking up a lot of space, how does the 8gb fair in this field, I don't have a huge problem keeping only one back up but I always like to have at least one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moe6:
I really wouldn't if I were you. I usually hover around 7.5GB from the 16gb model (which is like.. 13.x usable i think) with quite a few apps and 2-3 ROMS plus at least one gapps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrFanta5stic:
That's something that I can't answer to as I haven't even rooted my device. I haven't really felt a need to since I can't use the LTE hack with at&t in my area. I wouldn't imagine it to be too bad. I never used up much space on my GS3 or my Atrix when I rooted and messed around on those devices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snobrdr2324:
I really am only considering the 8gb because $215 for a supposedly mint phone with box and charger seems too good for someone liked me who is buying this as a second phone to play with to pass up, especially being a college kid on a budget. I also plan to get the nexus 5 as soon as i can so this will only be with me for ~5 months.

Hi all,

so, i persuaded my friend to buy a s4, bt now she's facing several problems with it, the problems are:

1) heating issue (my Note 2 heats too, bt she claims that hers heat very fast, even for short usages)

2) Front camera is blurry ( i'll post a pic soon)

3) she put her phone to charge the whole night (about 8 hours) and when she turned it on, the battery percentage was only 95%

She also bought the phone for a cheaper price ( I'm thinking it's nt 100% genuine, bt she said she gt it from a authorised dealer)

Hope there's a solution to these problems :)

for now, i'm suggesting her to send it back to a samsung center for a change of device.

thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GG2012:
How much cheaper are we talking about here? You can always buy warranty as well just for protection. As for the heating issue, I do find it to be more frequent that my previous Note 2 or S3. I noticed this especially when I'm using the camera, YouTube, browser. Haven't even played any games on it yet.

As for the camera, you might try to go into settings. Perhaps its trying to auto-focus too much - I also have this issue sometimes with the camera when it wouldn't focus, but just adjust the settings maybe.
