[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nz26:
Hi guys

Having some issues with my S3, bought in November 2012 and worked perfectly fine until a few months ago when it started turning off and rebooting, it would get to the initial 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' logo and loop on that until the battery is pulled. It'd work fine for a few moments after it booted to the lockscreen and then do it again.

I got it working again after I left the battery out for several hours, afterwards its been working fine apart from the occasional turning off, looping on the inital boot logo. Fixes itself first try so I've been happy to live with it if it only does it occasionally.

So about 20 minutes ago it turned off and looped. No worries, pulled battery out for a few minutes, put it back in and turned it off. Usually it would work absolutely fine after this, but instead it kept looping. Got a bit concerned, so pulled battery out for a few minutes, put it back in and it worked. Then it did it again, so battery pulled out for a few minutes, put back in and it works fine. I've had it charging since it started working and it seems to be going fine now (could be just a weird superstition of mine, charging it seems to keep it alive?).

I can usually tell when I'm using it if its about to reboot, if I go to lock the screen using the power button, it acts as if I long pressed the button (power options appears). So I use the back key to get out of it and try locking it again. Does the same thing and then it reboots within a few seconds. Could be power button getting stuck?

Adding music/data to the device does seem to flare this issue up for a little bit, but those could be completely unrelated

Factory reset fixes it for a little but that isn't possible all the time of course.

Any suggestions on how to fix or prevent this issue? Is it the sudden death syndrome flaring up? I'm on 4.1.2 XXEMG4, the latest for the region of the phone, so the sudden death fix is incorporated.

Thanks heaps

EDIT: Found the solution to the problem today. Seems that the issue is the power button sticking. I verified on my mothers s3 that holding the power button down does reboot the phone, by skipping the whole shutdown sequence and going straight to the bootup. It seems that because the power button is sticking, the boot sequence isn't able to complete so it will reboot endlessly.

Try pulling the battery out, and firmly (but not so firm it will break) and repeatedly press the power button around 10-15 times. The video I saw suggested smacking the side of the phone against a hard surface but that may be a little extreme. Anytime the power menu comes up when you go to lock the screen, quickly press the power button heaps of times until it locks and you will avoid a reboot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sounds similar to the lead up I had to SDS. The Sudden Death fix can also cause freezes and reboots. Or teh NAND memory could be dying but from something other than SDS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nz26:
These issues only began appearing a while after the updates including the SDS fix came out (which I know doesn't completely rule out SDS). Absolutely 0 issues when I was on 4.0.x, aside from Android itself crashing on a couple of occasions.

I still have until the end of october to lodge a warranty claim if need be, so I'll see how it goes

Hello guys, i'm new to this board.

I just wanted to tell u my Story :)

A few days ago, i noticed, that the flash-light for

the camera is not working properly. It was flickering

sometimes. So i called the T-Mobile yesterday. Today

a courier exchanged the mda pro device. But the

device i have now is kind of ugly... the screen seems

not to be fixed correctly - when it's rotated to "notebook-

style" i can move it easily for about 3mm to each side.

I can also lift it up on every side for 1mm. This can't be ok?!

Or was i just lucky with my first mda pro?

Well so i called t-mobile again - I'll get another Device tomorrow...

i hope it'll be better. Too bad that i can't have a new out-of-

the-box mda pro :/

and sorry for my bad english.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Killbillprime:
hi guys just spoke to o2 they cleared up that if the device is at fault they will b more then happy to exchange it for a new one worse case scenario -i just got it today so im within my 14 days il just cancel and order again, there’s a few in Birmingham city centre il pop into new st

i paid 230 for 200 cross net +500 sms i know theres deals on it for 99.99 and also o2 18 months, and on contracts the devices are dead cheap- but the 99.99 ones dont offer the tariff i wanted and the 18mnts NO WAY MAN! Lol

Im just going to flog my m2000 on ebay for 280+ to recoup my money on this.

Trapper > whatsbeen your experience generally with o2? i work for Vodafone (so no comments on there customer services loll) and with orange as long as itwasnt technical they didnt have any issues- well i think i got into more arguments with them then anyone else but that was more on the advisors attitude then anything)

Iv never used o2 before there converges pretty much the same as Vodafone so will just have to see how it goes.

I guess one thing with us users is that if we have a problem we will try to resolve it our selves first, search the net for answers and if we still can not fix it then it’s an issue out of our control-

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perern:
On my 9505 it freezes when in standby, I don't know if it's in deep sleep or not, but holding the power button for 10 seconds reboots it.

It's not detected by ADB either.

The weird thing is that when playing music or doing anything in the background it doesn't happen, so my guess is that deep sleep is causing this.

Any guesses on how to fix this or should I ask for replacement?

Is there a way to get logcat after reboot?

Logcat gives a lot of "ioexceptionjava.io.ioexception: no such file or directory" on qcrilmsgtunnelsocket

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptor402:
Hello, forum

I dropped my Nexus 4 in water. I got a replacement battery to fix it, but it seems the motherboard was screwed too.

Initially, when I connected the charger after drying and cleaning the phone, I was getting a blinking red light. After a while (before battery replacement), it became a static red light. Finally, just before battery replacement, I got a red light for a second before nothingness.

After replacing the battery, there was no light. I then cleaned the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol. After some cleaning, I started getting a solid red light even with the fresh battery.

My questions are:

1. Is there are particular error notification system through the red light?

2. Is it possible that I have fixed my motherboard (just need to charge the phone now), or have I also screwed up the new battery?

Please help.

Regards

Raptor

Jumping in on your question

Similar question here.

I'm getting a red light only when the phone is charging and the screen is off. I was in PA last week and it was super cold and i noticed some slight condensation on my phone, other than that, no water or other damage.

The red light occurs on usb charging, wall charging, and on my qi charger, but again, only when the screen is off, the red light pops up.

I'm not looking at upgrading for another year, but when I do, I'm going to wait, look here, see what people say. Unfortunately with the Z, no-one really mentioned it being bad prior to me buying it...

It is better with some devices than others. We got these expensive cisco units at work, and my wifi at work is crap now. The old airport was fine...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkretch:
I don't know what ROM you are trying to install but..............

As you can see below in Android Revolution ROM flash directions there may be extra requirements when going from one ROM to another.(see Pink text) So you may have to clear the cache and do a data wipe before flashing the new ROM.

How to flash:

Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card

Boot your device in recovery mode (vol up + power)

In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM

You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)

After flashing process is complete, reboot the device

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimxms:
Yesterday I purchased a PAYG M7 on the o2 network. Wanting to also be able to use it with another SIM, I paid to get an unlocking code.

While waiting for the unlocking code I decided to flash a custom firmware (the stock HTC Google one).

When my unlock code finally arrived it would not work, and it appears to be due to the custom firmware.

So I've been trying to get back to the stock o2 rom (i didn't backup my one). I started by restoring a CWM backup (M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID 02_102 1.27.206.1) that I found. This worked fine but the bloody touchscreen doesnt work!

So then I had the great idea of flashing an OTA update to the phone (OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_02_UK_1.29.206) which froze CWM.

Finally I tried performing an RUU restore using RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7... but when this got to the end it displayed a "customer ID error"...I'm guessing because i was trying to flash an unbranded firmware to an o2 phone?

So now I'm p*ssed!

All I need to do (i think) is get my phone back to a version of the o2 firmware where the touchscreen will work enabling me to enter the unlock code, and then I can flash straight back to a decent firmware.

But how do i proceed....?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Hard lesson on always making a backup before changing anything :(

You'll have to ask in the RUU/OTA/Backup thread if someone has a backup of the 4.2.2 ROM as it'll then work with the touchscreen

[Asus Transformer TF700] gardiol:
Hi All!

i am on CROMI-X 5.0.2 (and loving it!) but i have an issue. This issue is there since a long time, maybe forever, but it's annoying me.

I have disabled "switch WiFi off when sleep" from the Asus options in settings menu, because i need to have the tablet reachable by network even if it's sleeping. I don't mind battery consumption, it's plugged anyway when it's idle.

Anyway, after some time (a few hours?) WiFi will stop working, even after i turn on the screen again.

What happens is that the WiFi "seems" to be connected but it's not working unless i disconnect and riconnect it manually (for example by disabling and reenabling it) Of course this issue does not happen if i let WiFi turn off when the tablet is idle, because then WiFi will be disconnected and reconnected automatically.

Is this a known issue and are there any workarounds?

(this behaviour breaks any long FTP transfers, for example... which is a pity!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I am on the same rom with the same wifi setting and do not have that problem. But I seem to remember that disabling WiFi optimazation under the WiFi advanced settings (tab the 3 dots in the upper right) helped other users with this problem.

I suspect it may be time for a clean wipe. These little issues are sometimes solved by this. Use it as a last resort but often it's hard to debug.

Nope...unless you format your SD card...the best way to keep those files from deleting by installer is just rename it...add any letter at the end on Real Racing data folder or in obb folder (for other games)....install Real Racing then just rename back the folder to its original....no need to use Titanium backup for it since all data of the games are in SD...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Two reasons:

-Button itself is damaged or have dirt where is suppose to make contact. If you don't know how to open your Play, leave that to proffesionals in repairs

-Flex cable is damaged. Replace it yourself or in repairs/service (wichever is avaible to you)

-Software error. Highly unlikely, but maybe. Flashing stock firmware will tell is it software error or not

The thing you can do to see what is damaged is next:

Power off phone and start flashtool in PC

Hold back button and doeas flashtool that you are in flash mode.

Repeat again, but this time with various combinations:

-press in different angle button itself (if it's button damaged, it might make contact in specific position)

-Open slider and see is back button working (in case of flex error, sometimes it works when slide is open, but not when slider closed)

-In case of software error, even circle button won't work as "back" in launcher/menues
