[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boofman:
I've got a Jiayu G3N (s501 Chip) and there's this issue that started yesterday, where there's a half-inch horizontal area about 3/4 down my screen that doesn't respond to touch. It's kind of like this one, but mine's horizontal:

http://www.youtube.c...ed/zIuDN8A2rGs

I've had this issue before where the keyboard goes unresponsive, but a simple back-reload of the keyboard fixed it, (might be unrelated) but this same area has now been permanently unresponsive and not just the keyboard.

What happened was I've had a friend with a faulty SD Card, and he tried it on my phone to see if it works and it's not his phone's SD Slot at fault. The process took us a few Boot-Poweroff sequence, and in the last one it's where I noticed that area was not responding to touch any longer. (This could not have been the reason - or, it's the bootup - poweroff sequence was the one that did the damage, but not quite sure)

I was on Lolfisch v1.0 at the time. Tried rolling back to stock ICS using SP Flash Tool, formatted my own MicroSD Card, still nothing. It's at this point I'm considering doing an RMA with Merimobiles, so I've contacted them about it. The rep told me to email the Tech Support, and of course I did. They said they'd honor the one year warranty they have if it's indeed hardware issue, as they are still in process of looking for an update that can possibly fix that issue (I doubt there is any update, since my Stock ROM is the last and only Official ROM Jiayu released for the G3N) I got my phone last April - so two months into use and I got this damage.

Details of my Stock ROM:

Baseband: Maui.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5.2012/07/2 20:13

Kernel : 3.0.13 user@linux-user #1 SMP Preemt Sat Feb 23 07:13:56 CST 2013

Build : G3N 20130223-071508

Anyways, I still have the issues with stock ROM. Tried Lolfisch one again, and still the same thing. From ICS to JB back and forth, still no joy. Tried it with and without SD Card, still nothing. All the possibilities of anything software-related I've tried so it's definitely Hardware issue (probably Digitizer)

Anybody got the same issue? I will update the community on how this goes, as well as how Merimobiles deals with this kinds of issues and their RMA procedures.

TIA

UPDATE: Now there's another half-inch unresponsive area just a few lines above the original one. The phone just sat on my table, and when I unlocked it, I noticed a new unresponsive area. The phone's just degrading each day.

UPDATE 2: Now there are a lot more unresponsive areas and has even extended to my capacitive buttons..RMA is here, 2 months to get it back..

Apologies..here it is: (not mine..but similar issue, and mine's horizontal)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpoljsak:
Hello,

I'm having the same problem. How did you solve yours? Changing the digitizer seems to be the only option.

Regards.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boofman:
The first time it happened, Jiayu replaced the entire handset..

2nd time, it's still here with me and still broken..

and yes, seems like replacing the digitizer is the only solution..

maybe Jiayu cheaped out in this material since the entire phone's materials are great, including the battery..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Not enough info. Is is only one website or every website. Which browser. Have you tried multiple browsers. Sounds like a website-side scripting error & nothing to do with your phone or connection unless there's something damaged/corrupt on the firm/software side.

Answer the above questions & we'll go from there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohin26:
only google works, no other websites. I usually use google chrome, doesnt work on that and i also tried on the stock browser, same result
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Clear data on both browsers. If that doesn't work, uninstall both browsers, reboot, reinstall (do not restore them from a Ti backup/similar or restore app data), test. Then try a clean install of stock, which means no restoring apps or data until you've tested again with different browsers; the install needs to be 'clean' because if there's something funky in your app data/etc & you restore that, the problem will persist. I realise this is a pain in the arse to do, but you either want the problem fixed or you don't, so I suggest you take the time to do this/do it when you do have time.

If it's still happening at that point, it's a carrier-side issue causing you problems; which is the case the majority of the time with connectivity issues despite people automatically thinking it's something phone-side every time.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
I accidentally deleted a folder on my One's internal storage ( "/storage/sdcard0" which is also known as "/sdcard/" and linked to "/storage/emulated/0/" ) yesterday. There have been some documents that were deleted so I tried to recover them.

Here on xda we have a comprehensive guide how to recover internal storage. The problem is that other than SD card based external storage, internal storage is ext4 formatted and not visible to a computer as mass storage (content is transferred via MTP) hence common recovery tools such as testdisk, recuva, r-studio can't search the file system on a low level to recover lost files from an android's internal storage.

The solution to this is to copy over the entire (raw) data partition to your computer where you can proceed to have recovery tools search for your lost data. This can be done via adb. BusyBox and Root is required.

The detailed recovery/imaging process is described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143188

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

BusyBox includes the linux "dd" command to create a bit-to-bit image of your data partition and "nc" that is used to pipe the data directly off the phone to your computer so nothing will get overwritten.

The userdata partition on the One is /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 and roughly about 25GB on 32GB Ones or 55GB on a 64GB One in size. It takes some hours to copy it over to your computer (was around 5h for my 64gig variant, 4MB/s avg).

After finishing that, you let multiple recovery tools of your choice work their magic on the huge raw partition backup, just to realize that other than existing data no deleted files are found.

Time to investigate further so I took another One which had the 4.2.2 based ARHD 10.2 installed, factory reset the device and filled it up with data. Then I deleted the whole userdata via my MTP-connected computer and immediately started over the imaging process. A few hours later I hex-edited the partition backup and found that 80% of the partition was zeros. My recovery tools still found existing data in /data/ that obviously have not been touched by me when deleting the "internal storage" through my computer as it is not accessible that way.

From my investigation so far, to me it seems that there is some kind of TRIM'ming or instant garbage collection going on to clean up unused NAND cells which carry previously deleted data. That is what is done on SSDs to maintain write speeds, which is a good thing actually. If that is the case, there would be virtually no chance to recover lost data as it gets wiped/zero'ed immediately.

What I want to find out is whether this behavior is from kernel or hardware, specifically internal flash controller. What are your thoughts?

Hope that helps others a bit.
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
Most phone NANDS have Trim activated. The HoX however did not, and that's why apps like FSTrim exists, to force a TRIM pass. Greatly smoothed out the random I/O lags even when scrolling through Sense.
[One (M7) General] backfromthestorm:
If your using elementalx kernel it runs an fstrim command on boot and installs the binary when you flash the kernel ....

Its from an fstrim init.d mod I made for the hox which is being used in that kernel on the m7...

As for fstrim if your not using that kernel, I'm sure unless the fstrim file is in system/bin / xbin htc/Qualcomm arnt using it.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
I checked it and the file is not there. I didn't use elementalx kernel or any non-stock kernel when it happened. I did not reboot the phone before I made the image with dd.

There must be something in the stock kernel or nand controller...
[One (M7) General] flar2:
Are the partitions mounted with the discard option?
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
Indeed the data partition is mounted with discard. That might explain it. The file system reports free space to the controller immediately which kicks off the cleaning.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordarpad:
Sorry, the app picker falls several light years short for me in two specific fields - messaging and calling. If I select "always" in one of those cases this selection gets applied across all my contacts. Sorry, that's just daft.

I'll give you an example: I have Zoiper, Skype and WhatsApp installed on my phone. Now when I send somebody a message, I want to use WA for those as have it, Skype for those as have it and be able to select a preference for those cases where somebody has both. Also, if my preference is Skype, but person is not logged in, it should be smart enough to then go WA. If I am roaming or my data connection is disabled for other reasons, it should use SMS. It's called a Smartphone by Jove! Currently I feel like I am in the 70s. the device is that daft.

Similar rules apply for calls.

Oh and also I want to be able to make this choice individually for every contact, either rule based, as outlined above, or just on my personal whim. And I want to be able to override said choice on a case-by-case basis, or permanently, again based on my personal whim. Double tapping in order to avoid making an idiotic and not easily reset general setting is a kludge at best.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinosong:
For a sec, I was wondering what the heck app picker was. :)

Yeah, it probably needs to be updated to a more convenient and smarter way. I wonder how the less advanced users get through processes like that. Seriously, if I were an 80 year old grandpa, I would not know how to manage the app picker for sure.

Maybe one of them is the regular app launcher and the other is the widget google play adds automatically (unless the option is deactivated)
