[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielms22:
Enable USB debbuging in your phone. Go to Settings -> about phone -> tap about 10 times on build number item until USB debbuging is unlocked.

Also, on your computer go to the device manager, look for your phone, if you find it, right click on it, then update Driver Software, browse computer, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, USB composite device

That should do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
it doesn't show up in device manager, not even a unrecognized device, nothing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielms22:
If you see a unrecognized device in the "Devices and printers" list, as shown in your screenshot, then it should show up in the device manager as well...

If you can't find it, just use the one displayed right there in your screenshot (if it really is your phone).

- right click on it

- Properties

- Hardware tab

- Properties again

- Driver

- Update driver

- proceed as explained above

I forgot to mention, for this to work in your phone settings -> storage -> USB computer connection -> Media device should be ticked
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
The windows plug in plug out sound is now sounding about every 10 seconds, in out in out, could it be the phone has a broken connection? the micro usb? still nothing just unrecognized, mass storage is ticked, but doesn't make difference whatsoever, disabling developer options doesn't help either. computer keeps saying it already has the latest drivers.

I recently flashed all the new stuff I downloaded at the official google site where you downlaod the latest 4.3, I flashed using nexus 4 toolkit the files as shown in the second image. I think this might have broke it, but that would be very unfortunate because there would be no way to ever flash different recovery or install another rom/kernel, or is there?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
Also, phone doesn't get recognized in fastboot or adb, but it did before
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
and now the phone gets recognized as normally would, nothing changed, what the ...?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
sorry for wasting your time, I figured out my nexus has a broken connection, it's still usable though when I do it right.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magote:
I guess I have the same problem. I also replaced the USB flex, but the problem persists. How can you connect it properly to the computer?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
Well my Nexus 4 is hardware broken but I can still charge it fine, its just the computer connection that barely works, today I was lucky enough to be able to flash custom recovery to it while holding the phone sideways, it worked just for the moment, not anymore rightnow. I guess I'm kinda screwed and you might be too....

This isn't covered by warranty is it? I think I have water damage which isn't covered I know for sure, I just can't tell if it was the water that did the damage.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielms22:
Are you guys sure it's a problem with your cable/phone plug and not your USB socket or internal hub? Have you tried different sockets?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magote:
Pretty sure, tried different sockets, different computers and even different OS's
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirial:
thank you... that last line was the problem for me..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
I have the exact same problem and my phone is barely 3 months old.. and i have tried everything. The problem is, i have installed a custom recovery, and i have to install stock to get the updates, i don't know what can i do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
My problem is gone it was probably because it was on usb fast charge. Check if that was the problem
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
I am sry for the noob question, but how can i check that? Where is the option?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
In the trickster mod app, what kernel are you using?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
I am on stock kernel, and i havent ever used that app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
OK, try installing a different ROM like cyanogenmod 10 and then see if the computer connection works again
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
Ok i will try and post the results later.

EDIT: Installed CM 10.1.3 stable, plugged it in usb, still no signs of life.

EDIT 2: ok found that the problem was a hardware defect, and i had to change it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serch826:
Hi, has you get this fixed?

I have the same problem, thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkspank:
Yes. it was no hardware problem

1. Try a different cable (one time I used a cable that could only charge)

2. download a different rom/kernel and install it (one time my rom or kernel settings were faulty and fast charging might have been on)

one of these should work
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magote:
What was the defect? How did you solve it? RMA?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
Humidity, changed the port.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterTaylor:
What if it does NOT show up in device manager at All, no android, no Other, no nothing?

USB cable is good for other devices, multiple USB ports, Nexus 4 unlocked, Android 5.1.1, rooted, used to work. Any hope?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJMaj07:
So I bought my note 2 a few weeks ago. I've loved everything about it until a few days ago, when I realized there was something going on with my s pen (or screen). I've attached a picture that will make it easier to see what the issue is. Basically, there is a roughly 1 cm wide band (the dashed region in the attached picture) running down the length of the screen where the s pen simply refuses to write or touch; it'll avoid it or jump past it. I've been reading about the s pen and it may be a defective s pen... but then again it may have something to do with the screen. I can use my finger just fine... just the s pen won't work right on that strip of the screen. Let me know if you know why this is happening and/or how to fix it! Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] abjc89:
It sounds to me like a hardware problem. I would try toggling the spen settings and seeing if any of them fix it. But you will probably have to get your phone replaced by samsung. I think this is the number to call (888) 987-4357
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArchangelRenzoku:
Yeah that is definitely a hardware issue, luckily one that is covered by Samsung. You'll get a new one free of charge. Just call customer care and they will direct you on how to handle the exchanging process.

If you have Sprint, you might as well just make an appointment at a service center since that's exactly what they'll tell you to do so they can diagnose the issue on-site and in-person. Then they will most likely mail you a new one (or re-manufactured, but not refurbished) and have you send the old one in the return package.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJMaj07:
Took it in to Sprint, and the guy told me the digitizer was defective. I don't have TEP so he offered to fix it for $55. Screw that! I may have to go a week or so without my phone but Samsung is going to fix it for free since it's covered in the warranty. Thanks for the help, guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArchangelRenzoku:
Yeah that's crap. Well enjoy the new one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
Don't know if I'd believe the Sprint tech that it's a digitizer issue if you can draw those lines with your finger. But regardless, I'm sure Samsung will be able to figure out what the actual problem is.

G-sener of HOX not working.I update sense 5 4.2.2. I open the camera app.it's immediately thrown
[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Dear all,

Is there an easy way to deactivate calls and texts, by just pressing a toggle like we do for switching on/off wifi or flight mode?There are a few reasons why I d like to do it:

1)when I tether, if I receive a call I lose the connection

2)when I am playing music on my speakers and I have friends over, messages and calls spoil the dancing.

3)When I connect my phone to a TV to watch a movie from Amazon prime, if I receive a call the movie is stopped

4) I leave all my friends and my date/almost-girlfriend to play with my phone and surf the web, when they ask for my phone I d like to have a easy toggle to action and stop all texts and calls, so they dont read my texts (calls would be fine in this case). I dont have any bad thing to hide, but sometime we want some privacy, dont we?

thanks

A.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ImWarped:
Everything except tethering is REALLY easy... Put the phone in airplane mode, then toggle wifi on... done.

Tethering, well, no, there's no way to avoid it. If you're actively connected to the cellular network, you can't block on the device without it recognizing something is happening. You could mute notifications for texts, but calls would still stop things from happening unless you turn on call forwarding. and forward to another number through your carrier.

As for hiding texts etc... Cyanogen or another ROM with User switching might "hide" your info for you... Not a great way to do it however.
[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Wow...I still cannot believe there is not a simple tool to deactivate calls and text
[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Mmm this looks like the solution...any experience with this? I ll try and I ll let u know https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrnumber.blocker&hl=en
[Sony Xperia ZL] ImWarped:
Even if rooted, the phone still "notices" an pauses music momentarily, there are dozens of call blocking apps out there, none of them that I've tried will completely block, the calls are intercepted by the phone, and are passed off to the software, which then decides what action to take, that 0.1 of a second in the handoff will still pause music, sounds a lot like a skip on a CD for half a second, it's not a big deal, but its still not what to OP wants. I'd have to say it's by design, you have a phone after all, it's first and foremost a communication tool, not an iPod...

The closest I've seen to a flawless block, is in samsung's android stack, the default dialer app can block all calls... hmmm, I may have had an epiphany... will test a setting and get back to you.
[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Hi...any update on this? I am still looking for a solution

Sorry man, no joy.
[General Questions and Answers] Cac428:
Hello, I recently rooted my gf's Rhyme (Verizon) and everything went good, worked just fine.

But then I tried to install a custom rom called "Aurore Rhyme ICS 1.0" (cant post links yet) and now all I get it the white HTC screen.

I have tried to restore it, even tried to use a htc_rhyme_vzw_stock_recovery_mmcblk0p21.img to get it back, but it did nothing.

I'd like to restore it back to stock. But I cant find a stock rom or RUU for this phone.

the phone reads now...

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

BLISSC XC SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.32.0011

[HTC Amaze 4G] andres8900:
Hello Amaze thread. I flashed jose's Dark Glass ROM based off of CM10.1 and one day my phone turned off and wouldn't boot. I went into recovery and it goes into safe mode because the internal memory card is unreadable, tells me to wipe, etc. but it gives me junk errors. My issue is similar to the issue of someone else in another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773723(which was resolved)], but I'm not having such an easy time fixing my problem. When I go into the bootloader and try to flash my RUU from mobilicity by changing it's name to PH85IMG, the blue bar fills up, it says "parsing..." but then it goes back to the bootloader. Does anyone know what is going wrong? Thanks in advance to all you helpful people. Sorry if I violated any rules in this post.

Details: S-OFF + bootloader is unlocked

Edit1: I read that my bootloader had to be locked in order to reflash RUU. I relocked it using Hasoon's all-in-one-tool but the zip file would still go back into bootloader after the blue bar fills up. The zip isn't parsing. I also tried using Hasoon's tool to reflash the RUU. Bootloader says re-locked (still s-off) but it still doesn't work. The CMD spits out this:

sending 'zip' (331249 KB)...
OKAY [ 32.595s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
finished. total time: 40.896s
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
In order to flash RUU you will need to be unlocked bootloader because it rejects all time when you try to flash RUU.

So first unlock it and after that try to put ruu on SDcard and then go into recovery .

It will work for sure.

:D

Hit thanks if I helped you !!! :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] andres8900:
Hi, it still didn't work. Tried it while the bootloader was unlocked and again while it was relocked. It doesn't get past the "parsing" stage. I tried it with two different SD cards already btw and I also checked the MD5 checksum. They match. No luck for me. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Are you sure that your sdcard slot is working ??
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Mobilicity ruu isn't working it's a firmware zip with a update it's not a ruu... And it's not a brick.. Also a ruu can't be flashed from recovery... Flash the t mobile R2 RUU from bootloader and it'll work.

I've also tried another Bluetooth headset with my Qtek 2020i and get the same problem.

Bluetooth works fine with my Fortuna GPS.

I have tried the headset on a SPV M1000 and it works fine.

My friend has a Qtek 2020i with I-Tech clip on and that works fine.

Something is beginning to tell me that the Bluetooth in my Qtek 2020i is faulty unless someone out there knows different.

Installed software on my Qtek 2020i is

Only Batterypro is running when I try the headset.

Any help greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Skeete:
Maybe this will help AT&T to hear it's customers. Granted, most subscribers are not interested in rooting and or flashing their phones, but there are a number of us that are. We have paid for this device with upgrade fees and agreeing to ETF's if we break our contracts early. Either way, AT&T is not going to be out money. SO why are they and Verizon holding us hostage and not allowing us to do with our devices as we please? I can understand them not supporting unlocked bootloaders and non-AT&T ROM's. We all know the risks in rooting and flashing and understand that we could very easily create a $600 paperweight, but that is our decision, not theirs.

Anyways, I am thinking the only way to get their attention is to go straight to the people who are in charge and making decisions as well as have the ability to change policy. Below are the names and email addresses of the major players in these positions. Let them hear from the entire XDA community how fed up we are with their dictating what we can and will do with our property.

If anyone does use these addresses, be responsible in your wording to get the point across. As we all are aware that writing a letter telling them that they're stupid and a bunch of asses will not get anything done. You can catch more bees with honey than you can with vinegar. Maybe, just maybe they will listen and reverse their locked bootloader stance. I'm not asking nor expecting them to cover a device that I have screwed up, but to let me make the decision to do it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
If a device is gonna have a locked bootloader, it should be like the htcs. HTC locks their bootloaders, however they have a site called htc-dev that will allow you to unlock your bootloader but by doing so they now know you have an unlocked bootloader and your devices flagged to avoid fraud. Its genious really as it gives us a choice if we want to unlock and lose warranty or stay locked and keep warranty...but I guess that kinda of thing is up to manufacturers not carriers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eallan:
You REALLY shouldn't blanket lose your warranty for unlocking the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bigstout:
sign the petition

I can't post the link to the petition due to post restriction.... I read a lot post not so much.. but the petition for unlocking the S4 boot-loader is on changedotorg and the link is in the general section as well.... So let get this done. @ last check it was 80 + signatures needed. I know some will say this does nothing but it's a step in the right direction... in addition to pounding these Exec's will phone calls and Fax's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
With the amount of people that dont read before flashing and end up bricking their devices and sending into warranty due to bad flashes...I find waiving your warranty for a bootloader unlock perfectly understandable.

Anyways technically you waive you warranty the moment you root your phone...or flash anything...hence the disclaimors on almost every dev thread "YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID" sooo....unlocking a biitloader should waive your warranty
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eallan:
Technically you can't up and void a warranty in its entirety. That's not the point though a million things unrelated to software can go wrong and getting a claim rejected for some software tweaking is wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jp2396:
I have to agree. Just as if you put a supercharger on your car and the engine blows, the manufacturer is not on the hook and not going to cover it under warranty, and they shouldn't.

Hopefully the emails and faxed letters to the executives will wake them up to the fact that this could be very damaging to them in the long run. Just because AT&T and Verizon are the two biggest, doesn't mean that the mighty can't fall. I read today that T-Mobile added 277k customers in the last quarter I believe...and as they grow so does their coverage. Wake up AT&T, don't alienate your customers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
The software put out by the companies is hardcore tested and then put under warranty so if something happens you're covered. But if you tamper with the software in anyway then that's your fault and not the companies. It's not fair to AT&T when they seal the device for your safety and then you go and tamper with it, **** up, and then point your finger at them when they did nothing wrong.

Sorry but waiving warranty is only fair once you begin going against what they advertise. I mean if they covered you for bad flashes, they would get bricks left and right and lose a lot of money over people not reading and following proper procedure.

I totally agree with how HTC does the unlocking, it's fair for both sides, you get your unlocked device, HTC doesn't have to worry about you committing fraud. Simple.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eallan:
Never said they should cover anyone's screw ups. They should honor the warranty 100% if you didn't cause the issue. Period. My bad flash won't cause the casing to crack or a dead pixel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] arctia:
Its all about money. Locked bootloader prevents people from getting this phone for 99 or 199, then sell on ebay for $400-500.

You want unlocked phone? Get developers edition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AxAtAx:
They are not to listen to customers who have already bought from them and have their service, once they lock you in, you are had, period!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
Here's the deal... The AT&T bootloaders are not open source. They do not have to unlock them. Samsung cannot unlock them. At&t would have to allow Samsung to unlock them. Not saying I don't want unlocked bootloaders, but it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. I am honestly tired of seeing these topics and posts. It is mucking up the forums with redundancy. We get it. You want unlocked bootloaders. But stop making a new thread about it every day. It is ridiculous. I have seen just as many of these topics as I have seen about people bricking their phones on MF3 in the last week.
