[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsu_golfer:
Title says it all. When we got this replacement, the power button was finicky, but we kept it for a while. Eventually it became annoying, and we decided to return it. Unfortunately, it won't stay turned on to reflash to stock. When plugged it, it sits on the Kindle screen. When booted to fastboot, it turns off after a couple seconds. Same if it's turned on without being plugged in.

Any advice on what I can do to return it to stock to send it back?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
Two threads already deal with this: this one and this one
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsu_golfer:
I elected to create a new thread (other than the one of mine you listed) because the thread title didn't attract attention to the current issue. The other thread doesn't address my issue. I understand the process to flash back to stock - if they KFHD will stay turned on, but it wont - even in fastboot.

Here's the error I get when I try to flash the stock system image. The other two items flashed fine.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
As long as you were able to get the stock boot and recovery back on it that is all I would worry about let Amazon worry about the rest. Try a factory reset of course you will have to race it before it powers off. Very likely the battery is dead that is why it will not stay powered on.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsu_golfer:
It wasn't staying powered on because of the faulty power button (the reason we RMA'd it in the first place). Got it to stay on and it actually flashed back to stock without that posted error for once. It actually had about a 90% charge, so I knew that wasn't the issue.

Very good glad you were able to get through it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvattoy:
Hi,

I just rooted my Galaxy Note 2, build nzo54k.n7100xxdmc3.

I rooted using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2143479, method number 2. Now I cant use networking. There is a cross over where the network bars use to be. Everything else seem to be working fine. It rebooted a couple of times tho. Can anyone help me with this problem, how I can fix this. If I press "mobile networks" it tells me that I have to insert a simcard. I have the simcard in and tried to restart the phone several times.

I would appreciate any help that you guys can give me. Thank you!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado92:
1st flash a stock rom and see whether u get imei and baseband back or not.. if it didnt get recovered then service centers can only help you as u didnt make a backup of efs..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artcrime:
There is a slim chance its not his efs,

I did pretty much the same as he to get root thru the toolkit, and had no network, I found I had no APN configured

Perhaps check this.

Settings... more settings .. mobile networks... acess point names.

Make sure you have something here.

if not you will need to search for the settings for whoever your provider is.

good luck

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
On my previous Galaxy S3, the LED was red when charging and turned green when fully charged. On my new Galaxy S4, the LED is red when charging, but it stays red after it is fully charged.

Did Samsung change something? Is it possibly related to the firmware? I have MDM. Or is there a new setting somewhere? I noticed that the description in the text for the charging LED is different from the text on my S3, it explicitly does state the color "red" while charging, which it did not on the S3.

I am a little worried that it may be a problem with my device. However, I checked that the color green is working with *#0*# in the dialer. Also, the phone seems to be acknowledge being fully charging correctly in battery stats (battery monitor widget). Can anyone help me and clarify what the expected behavior is or if I have a problem and I should take some action?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
What firmware do you have?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameracartwright:
When your phone says100% leave for a further 20-30mins then will go green and say unplugg fully charged. That's what mine does any :o how mate.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

I am currently on ME2

But it has been the same with all firmwares I have had.

As cameracartwright says,leave it charge until it says 100%

That is about 2-2 and a half hours.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
Thank you for the reply. I will try that. For my S3 the LED immediately turns green after it reaches 100%. I think I did have it on 100% for 10 minutes. Battery monitor widget says "fully charged" and displays the time since reaching 100%.

But you have this behavior that the LED of the S4 only turns green after being charged for a longer while?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
Success! I left it to charge for a longer time and I just checked and it said "24 minutes" on battery and the LED was indeed green. Thank you everyone. So glad there is no hardware problem with the LED or battery or some software issue that would require me to wipe my device. Thank god for XDA.

For a couple of weeks,my display is acting strange, getting darker and darker. It started with a yellow line in the top right corner, who go bigger and bigger,covering the whole screen now. I found on google other persons with this "yellowish screen" issue, and it seemed to be a faulty lcd. The problem on my phone is that besides the yellowish screen,it has very dark shadows too, making everything almost imposible to use. I also noticed that after i lock the phone, the yellowish blur dissapears for half a second, like nothing happened; also, i can see "remains" of some apps that i used, like a name from my sms conversation,along with the call and attachment button,even if i closed the app, the lock ring,my keyboard,etc. I would appreciate your help,thanks!

hi.

i have tried everything with my s2, to get back working the g sensor, but i cant.

i mean, the screen is not rotating (sometimes rotates, but i have to move it in "strange" ways (so all the phone settings are ok))

i tried the gyro calibration, nothing.

i tried the accelero calibration with some apps like gps status, nothing.

hard reset, nothing.

deep clean, nothing.

changed version of android (rooted and not rooted), nothing.

im losing all my hopes...but then i saw there is a rooted utility for the i9000, that is "sensorcalibutil_yamaha". is there anything similar for the s2? beacuse im pretty sure the g sensor is ok. in some games, if i calibrate (inside the game) i can play normally, but in the beginning i have to turn the phone 90 degrees, to get the car or the ball moving in the right direction.

i really hope you can help me =D

ho gia provato quel test, ma l'immagine del cane non riesco a girarla... o meglio devo mettere tipo il telfeono in posizioni strane per riuscirlo a girare, ma niente.

il test del gyro lo passa, e nel grafico, quando muovo il telefono i valori aumentano, quindi dovrebbe essere tutto apposto.

penso che il problema sia nell accelerometro, in molti programmi di test, risulta sempre starato. ma ad esempio nei giochi, con la calibrazione interna al gioco, poi riesco a giocare tranquillamente....

ENG:

i said him, that ive tried the test inside the *#0*# menu, and the phone passed it, but i can hardly rotate the picture of the dog.

ive tried the sensor in games, and i can play with no problems

Se sei in garanzia tenta l'assistenza che magari si è danneggiato!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxnad94:
nono i numeri cambiano, anche giustamente.

nel test del giroscopio, a seconda di quale asse lo ruoto, mi cambia una variabile diversa come deve essere.

pero ho visto usando alcune app, che ti testano l'accelerometro (o cmq anche il test nel menu) che:

x=0

y= -20

z= 70

da quello che ho letto il valore di z è giusto che non sia 0 (anche se a molti da valori tipo -214)

mentre il valore di y dovrebbe essere 0, invece sta a -20

purtroppo non posso usufruire della garanzia...

he asked if the numbers in the sensor test are changing and if im still in warranty.

i replied that my numbers in gyroscope test are changing. i think the problem is in the accelerometer, beacuse some numbers seems not right (even if the accelerometer is working good, since i tested it in some games)

so im asking is there is any way (not using any app, beacuse that didn't work for me) to calibrate the accelerometer.

my phone is rooted, so i can try anything

(im not in warranty)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxnad94:
solved by installing cyanogenmod 10.1

just because it have a setting to calibrate the accelerometer, and it worked .-.

why is my phone realy slow??? we have a dual core 1ghz with 512 ram and my lg p920 is reeeealy slow all the time. i install a few apps, close to 10 (not many in my oppinion) and the phone is always slow like hell. tryed stock ics and then v30a from xbsa and now v30c from xbsa and always the same. even tryed OC up to 1.3ghz its the same.

TEST: (a test i did)

my brother has a 1ghz huawei g300 NOT dual core and with 512ram.

test speed oppening settings was:

huawei:0.5 seconds

LG P920: arround 2seconds (4times slower????)

then oppening facebook

huawei:3 seconds

LG: 4 seconds (again???)

WHY IS THIS APPENING? i cant even call someone without lag

[LG Optimus 3D] Unique Boy:
Try using task killer application to close applications. There may be unwanted applications running on background. And also your phone may slow if you are using low quality memory card, sometimes keep scanning storage. So try test without card to know whether there is problem on card.

[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
Did you try to flash stock v30a,custom recovery,root it and delete or freeze unwanted apps with titanium backup pro.

It's quite fast and battery life is good.

On the other hand Xbsalls v8 and Darkroom Music roms are very good and fast..

In my opinion it's better to be on stock.
[LG Optimus 3D] kotysoft:
I just got an LG P920 (Opimus 3D) with custom rom (without 3D support).

My first thing was to wipe all and "update" to Official LG 2.3.5 then to ICS.

Now I have a fully stock rom with official ICS (v30a), and I have to say, this "dual core" is horrible. My last phone was a HTC Desire HD (1x1GHz), but any of rom was much faster on it than now on my dual core LG...

It's a shame... I just made hard reset (again) and with stock applications it mostly takes up to 10 seconds to start a simple call....

Is there any solution to boost it anyway? I expected to be faster than my old phone, not slower...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
Just wanted to see how this is actually working if anyone else can figure it out cuz wifi calling doesnt work supposedly with our phones. Im on code named android 2.0. I download magic jack app. Register a number with it. Turn wifi on and take sim card out of my phone. Im just running wifi at this point on ics with hefe kernel and through magiv jack app it still makes and recieves calls. How is this possible even without the tmobile app installed which wouldnt work anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
they don't work the same way. Viper will work, but native wifi calling won't work because kineto_gan isn't properly integrated into the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Is it the same number as your tmobile number though? that's the benefit of the Tmobile app, is that you can talk on wifi or network with the same phone number. there is a million wifi/data apps that work on the phone, but you need a second number. I use fongo which gives you voicemail and everything and is free since I'm on a txt only plan, if I need to make any phone calls of length, I use my fongo number instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
I used this without the sim in there without the wifi calling app with ics. Yeah i get that its just through wireless but its really the first program to let a number ring with no service. **** like skype links to username etc.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
This phone really is a very Japan-specific phone and you're the first person I've seen on XDA who owns one. As far as I know you can't unlock the bootloaders on Docomo devices, so you're best off trying all possible root exploits and hope one of them works (look at those for the T or TX, they're the same as the SX software-wise, not the S). If you're already on Jelly Bean chances are you're not going to be able to root it. You're probably best off looking on Japanese forums for more information. Chrome with Google Translate should help you get started.

On the accessory part, well, Amazon or eBay will be your best shot. Since the phone is only sold in Japan you can't expect any other store to have anything available...

Good luck, enjoy your phone! It's really one of the best-looking Xperia's there is!
