[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
I became a victim today after dropping my phone but just some black dots but no lines so far and quite negligible but am not sure if it is going to worsen with use or if inversely self heal with passing of time. Will wait and watch. Query is for freezer technique isn't condensation a major fear of spoiling the phone after bringing it out of freezer section (not fridge) to room temperature??. Need advice from people who have done this. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Kshitijs:
I am the OP(with those massive dead pixals :P )..My phone currently dosnt have a single dot :)

If you have lesser than 20 dots then I recommend that you wait for one day and check if it reduces or increases. But in most cases it increases and those dots starts to become small lines which will eventually become a big line connecting both ends of the screen.

If you are going to put the phone in the freezer then, this is what i did to solve that issue:-

0) Remove the battries,simcard,memory card from the phone,(DO NOT keep these things in the freezer )

1) Wrap your phone in one layer of tissue paper.

2) Put it in a Air-tight zipper bag(try to minimize the amount of air inside the zipper)

3) Put it in the freezer for about 5-8hours..(if you have more dots then u will have to keep it longer)

4) After that, take out the entire package and do not open the zipper for atleast one hour(This is to avoid condensation)

5) Now slowly open the zipper and take the phone out.(but do not switch it on for atleast half hour) (If you want to be extra careful,then u can keep it in sunlight for some time.)

6) You are done. It is unlikely,but if you still have any dots then repeat it again.

Hope it helped.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Thanks K****ij, I did the same process but just kept it for 30-40 mins in freezer and waited for 1 to 1 1/2 hour after taking out the zip lock back & then after additional 45 minutes (excluding after 1.5 hours out of freezer) I switched on & found it had reduced by a large extent then after use again increased and finally after overnight standby no more dead pixels. Good resolution. For future reference for anyone reading this, i'd recommend immediately switching off the phone after heavy impact and asap do the freezer technique to minimize & eliminate issues.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sameerm02:
My touch screen also have the same problem,

I am trying the this technique now :good::good:

Please Help me

My mobile fell down and there are dead pixels now how to fix it please help me please
[Motorola Atrix 2] Kshitijs:
That is the smallest amount of dead pixel i have seen till now...

It will be a easy fix...

Read the instructions i mentioned for others... But you only need to keep the packed phone(without battery or sd card) in a refrigerator for maximum of 2 hours.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cyberman007:
Thank you will try it hope it works fingers crossed
[Motorola Atrix 2] cyberman007:
I did everything as per instructions. on Friday i kept in for 3hrs and took it out the dots reduced but lines started to form then i keep on Saturday whole night. today i took it out there where only three line now @ 12.45pm when i was using the phone it has become 3 big lines with two/three rows getting combined together. what should i do. its getting worse after keep in freezer
[Motorola Atrix 2] noranora:
Be patient. It will vanish over times.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cyberman007:
oh can you please tell me how long will it take to be fixed ? .. sunday i kept it @ 12.45am took it out @ 11.45pm then inserted the battery now still i find 2 rows and the phones getting heated up very quickly. will this freezing harm my phone ? is this why my phones getting headed up in 10mins ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] noranora:
Mine took almost 2 months to completely disappear. Fridge method was working right. But still there were some annoying line. You'll get use to it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cyberman007:
ya its kind of working. will it have any side effects ? after about 5-10mins my phones getting heated up more that usual is it because of the freezer ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] noranora:
I can't be sure of that. As far as I concern, never had that issue. Of perhaps I was too ignorant to notice that. Are you running on custom rom and jbx? Let's try on stock rom. See if heats up too on stock.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cyberman007:
ya i am on stock. can u explain how u use to do the method.
[Motorola Atrix 2] noranora:
What method? Fridge method? Just put it in airtight plastic bag. And let it sit over night. 4-5 hours I think. I let it dry up before I use my phone. And I kept using it though there were some "moles" on screen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] timjosten:
Can anyone explain what exactly happens when the phone is put into a freezer? How does it cure the broken pixels? And why they are not coming back after defreezing?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jack Sparrow xda:
Screen is LCD - Liquid Crystel Display. Its something with the crystals, which get healed in the chill environment inside the freezer. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] brokenaxe:
Happened again == . Helpful tip, Do the freezer method straight away after you see dead/ stuck pixels . I left it overnight and it went from one small line to a line across the screen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] xdduser:
I have a massive dead pixel (its a circle of 2 cm diameter). I kept it in freezer for 20 hours but it is still there. Guess, its damaged permanently :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] waqar ghafoor:
Is there anyway to remove Dead Pixel from Moto E Series

So, basically, I bought my new Moto E Series device few days back. Almost 2 days ago my phone was on charging and I was searching wallpapers on internet. Within a few minutes I saw a White dead pixel in the middle of my device screen.

My first question is: How to know if it's a dead pixel or a stuck pixel?

And my second question is: Which Android App can I use to remove this dead pixel as I've gone through a lot of Apps available on the Play store but I'm confused about them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] bobby hom:
Make sure your screen is completely dry before turning your screen back on but I visit the site who teach how to fix dead pixels on a laptop
[Motorola Atrix 2] elenick1212:
Can I do it on a smartwatch with LCD? I have accidentally damaged it, and I have some stuck pixels at the screen, if I don't take out the battery is it ok? The battery will be replaced because it's Dead, I ordered one from AliExpress, thanks in advance, my smartwatch is moto 360 second gen
[HTC One X] Filko84:
Hello,

In firmware topic I found hboot 1.36 for cidnum: VODAP001, but I want to flash 1.39.

If I get hboot 1.39 for other cidnum and change android-info.txt to mach my device is it going to work or it will brick it?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Wont work ! And why do you want 1.39 ? All is working fine on 1.36
[HTC One X] Filko84:
After flashing Sense 5 all sensors stop working, except proxymity.

RUU do not help, calibrating in safe mode also, lived the phone to completely disscharge also.

Flashing any custom rom do not help.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can only reflash the 1.36 hboot/ruu....if it's not working on stock there is nothing you can do. Software won't fix it then...
[HTC One X] Filko84:
Can you post a link to 1.36 hboot/ruu?

I flashed RUU thru CutomRUU mrthod I found hare.
[HTC One X] Filko84:
I am using firmware from this link also, but I get error for bootloader and can't finish the install.

It is Relocked.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can only flash a firmware that is ment for your phone not a different one. If the firmware fails the first time reflash it directly again.

Did you reboot to RUU mode before flashing the firmware.zip ?

And after that you have to reinstall a rom
[TouchPad General] rsagare:
Guys,

I am using CM 10rom on my touchpad (Dec nightly build; don't remember exact date).

I am getting less battery backup on it and currently searching for good battery backup Rom.

Can we list down some stable roms here which provide overall good battery backup and very less to no breakdown in functionality?

This will help others who are searching for the Roms.

Also if such catalogue is maintained somewhere; please let me know.

Thanks,

Ratnakar
[TouchPad General] jacobas92:
I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "battery backup" but If battery is an issue, try reflashing the A6 firmware. I was getting ~1-2 days on idle, then I reflashed the A6 firmware and am now getting almost a week with moderate use. As far as

stability

, personally I would suggest cm9/cm9 based.
[HTC One V] AL2000EX:
Hello everybody I have some questions about thus awesome MoD called TurboBoost

The problem is that I have 100% swappines, so every process that goes OOM should be swapped. I have 112-100-120 triple swap space but after some time of using it I recognized that sometimes system reclaims swapped processes from swap within fully using it, so I'm just wasting free swap space. Do you know a way to restrict system from doing it :confused:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ampreston85:
Sorry for the poor title... But basically I am new to rooting (my Evo LTE) and am curious what some of the best ROM's are and such. I downloaded the Dirty Unicorn ROM and it was nice, but people said that my voice did not sound clear, and the in-call volume was horrible! I did notice that it appears that ROM is based on CM 10.2. I have that one now. Ultimately I still would like some recommendations. Also there is a battery icon that I'd love to have. It was titled racing battery. It was 2 half circles, one inside the other, both segmented into 10 segments. the inner one represented increments of 10, and the outer one went down by 1 as the battery decreased by 1. Anyway, I appreciate all your help! Thanks!!!!! :highfive: :laugh: :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Hi,

My advice would be read,read,read and read some more then flash the roms that you like, test it out if you don't care for it try another one :D

You can try checking the market as I have done https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Racing%20battery&hl=en, otherwise as [MENTION=4609217]bigdaddy619[/MENTION] has suggested, it is best to search.

Regarding a "best rom". again I refer to bigdaddy619s comment above.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Pabellon:
My Qtek 9090 started turning itself on and off for no reason. All this happens every 40-50 seconds or so. I have done 2 hard resets (no third party programs are in phone) but it continues to have the same problem.

I have also noticed that battery power icon permanently displays a fully discharged battery even though I have left it on charge for up to 4 hours. All this happened from one day to another. Prior to that I never had this problem.

I've Had the Qtek 9090 for over 6 months with the same battery.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Nazeroth:
Are u using the supplied charger ?

Hi pabellon, (i wonder if it is Criollo)

Its been addressed that custom made chargers (specially car charges) present this problem. there is a post in the BA forum somewhere that speaks about it. The problem seems to be amperage needed for the beast to charge.

However if u are facing this problem with the craddle then a wornout or damaged battery maybe the problem...

now it has been a week or a little more been running with stock LG rom and rooted it, no BSOD or anything just runs, so i guess there most go something wrong somewhere dunno if it's CM10.2 or Rom Manager/ClockWorkMod that is flashing something wrong, bcs i run the same apps, nuth different then the rom.

so i guess no CM10.2 for my E975 anymore :(

bcs i am tired of BSOD sometimes more times a day then i bother to count other days a few and others days none at all, i need a rom that just run without problems like stock.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
No problems here.

I say do as i have and stay away from any kernels until you sure it's not a faulty hardware.

1 Wipe in stock, wipe data too

2 Root

3 Use freegee to unlock bootloader and flash recovery. I use cwm

4 copy the latest nightly or stable 10.1.3

5 Copy the correct gapps. Different for 4.2 and 4.3 don't mix them

6 boot into recovery wipe data, system and cache. Skip sdcard

7 install rom install gapps

8 reboot and dont restore anything just signin without the option to restore files.

Now don't do anything just use the phone and see what happens
[LG Optimus G (International)] puma99dk|:
i have never used custom rom on my E975, i did on my LG Optimus 2X P990 but that's another story.

i had this error on stable versions and nightly's that's why i am wonderthing, if it's not any of my apps doing it on the stock rom, but only on custom roms, i dunno anymore what it is then :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Your funny:thumbup:

Your stable version and your nightly are custom ROMs--

sorry it has been long but 3 or 4 days ago i installed CM11 with F93 kernel and yesterday i had my first BSOD, but i also noticed that CM11 wasn't happy about loading Swype which i use a lot, so i don't know if it was swype that BSOD my G and it's really really slow charging and drains battery quickly even with Batteryguru installed i didn't have these problems with LG's own rom, and it's a shame if i should start having trouble again using Swype, so i guess i will return to stock rom soon because i need my phone and battery life because of work i can't and don't want to be bounced to a charger in less then a day :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droiderino:
Hello!

I searched this site for URLs and paths of where OTA update files from Samsung come from during download.

I found the server for HTC phones.

I also found the server for Google's OTA server - http://android.clients.google.com/... - it is used for Google's own Nexus updates and Samsung Nexus phones, as well as, for some reason, for updates for some other Samsung phones, especially if they are sold by Sprint.

Since there is no general Samsung forum, I thought I would ask here, I hope that is OK.

What are the server URLs and paths of Samsung OTA update files?

Does Samsung not have its own server like ota.samsung.com or like that? Does it actually use the Google server for each and every phone?

I cannot find a thread on this site that covers this.

If only some Samsung phones get updates from the Google server, why is that?

I have only noticed that for Samsung Nexus and Sprint Samsung phones.

Thank you, much appreciated!

This, for example:

android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_l720.update_SPH-L720_MDL_CSB_user_RP_to_MF9_CSB_user_RP.zip

As was reported here:

http://androidromupdate.com/2013/07/09/sprint-galaxy-s4-ota-update-l720vpuamf9-stock-via-recovery/

It is for a Samsung S4 from Sprint. There are also other Sprint Samung phones that get updated via google servers.

What are the updates doing there instead of being stored at Samsung servers?

That may well be, but ...

... there's always hope someone in the know stumbles upon this thread, and I wouldn't get that until I at least tried.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
No a Samsung forum not XDA a forum that deals with Samsung products rather than a developers forum .As XDA is a developers forum then OTA is not relevant to most users .

The guy that built Checkfus is probably your best point of information regarding OTA .

Its fairly common to rent storage space from other servers if yours are overloaded and guess who has the largest number of worldwide servers .
