[General Questions and Answers] noxiousnic:
Hi there fellow robot lovers (or killers as it may be) !

Before we start, both identical phones (public mobile zte n762), both rooted, both booting normallish, meaning they get to keyguard screen, apps are starting, messages coming in, etc. Only one is activated, which would be the one with the broken screen, which boots fine, the touch membrane works, it's just the screen only displays pure white light, from total dark to overbright (meaning brighter than full brightness)

What I want from this one is an up to date backup that I might flash on the other one when its softish brick status is resolved.

Then, I can think of hacking the hardware itself, as in changing screen.

Goal for this one is to get a full backup so I can then mess around with it. Or if someone knows that the screen is not dead, since it does light up, I'm all ears on way to play with it. After a backup.

For the little history : I dropped my activated phone while trying to figure out the problem with the other one, to my great dismay and no immediate hilarity ;) I had been running it for more than 4 months with a nasty crack on the screen, and it seems the dropping from a foot high the other night was the shock that sent it over the top.

Now it seems this can also be caused by software glitches ? aka White Screen Of Death

Now, the soft brick phone, which I got for nothing before it was thrown to the garbage (supposedly defective, it was just very barebones, and missing its sdcard)

Now, why do I say very softly bricked ? Well, it works, fully boots, and I sometimes manage to get a glimpse of the running OS "behind" the boot anim when I let if fully boot.

It's running a varianf of the Warp Cream sandwich rom for the n762, called Ice Cream Sandwich 420

It's like the boot anim is looping as an overlay over the running OS. Even managed to get Text+ in the foreground yesterday and chat with a buddy for a while.

Now, why didn't I just wipe it and reinstall ? For one, I thought [ I had no copy of the rom, just a cwm recovery backup once it started acting up.

Mostly, because the challenge in getting it (both phones if it so happens the screen on the other one can be brought back to normal operation) back to glorified PDA status without wiping it, as that's a bit like the good ole, reinstall DOS/Windows/etc. tech support level 1 answer, isn't it ?

So what options exist for soft brick to resume normal activities without wiping the whole thing ?

What could lead to the custom boot anim playing as an overlay to the OS ?

All ears and eyes on your suggestions, shouldn't be that hard for someone who knows, as I have read quite a bit of information that doesn't agree with each other...

Is this normal ?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b.spec:
The micro USB cable that came with the phone isn't what I would consider 'tight', although 'snug' seems more appropriate in my case. I definitely don't have to maneuver the cable into the phone to charge it, nor do I have to wiggle it a lot to pull it out.

I realize if you remove 'micro USB', 'cable' and 'phone' from my post, it could be taken WAY out of context...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton900:
Hi this is my first post but have been avid follower of the site and had multitude of devices. Never felt a real passion as i have today to start a thread, today my nexus 5 died.

I have had my nexus 5 for just other 2 weeks now and for no apparent reason decided to die on me. Battery was fully charged had the phone in my pocket , took out to check it and nothing. My first thought was that maybe i didn't plug it properly and it hadn't charged, so stuck it on charge and nothing not led, no charge icon. left it for about an hour and completely nothing at all, tried everything power and volume buttons. Did a search on Google and couldn't find hardly any info on this sort of situation apart form one forum where a few people have had this issue and seems to be with 32gb version and they needed replacements.

Surely this sort of thing shouldn't be happening, clueless to what it could be, i did unlock, root, and install omni custom rom last night but all was working fine this morning untill it died of course.

Really i just wanted to make people aware of the problem and hear if anyone else has had this issue, or if anyone could shed some light as to what may have caused it.

Whats really ticked me off is Google customer service, i was given an rma and went through the the steps in the email to realize that they would hold the amount for this replacement on my debit card. So basically im buying a new phone and getting a refund when they receive my faulty handset. So now i have no phone and im £350 short for at least 14 days. This is ludicrous im being put out through no fault of my own, not everyone has £350 lying around spare. I understand that Google are covering there arses in-case they don't get the faulty handset back but please you send my a faulty handset and im the one who has jump through hoops and be put out.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
Why does it tick you off? Why should Google be on the hook for $350? So many unscrupulous people out there, it's a normal business practice.

If you want to spare the $350, then send the phone into LG Warranty repair. They won't send you a loaner, but your phone will be repaired for no cost to you under their warranty.

Here is where you still complain its not fair because you won't have a phone then, and Google should still give you everything for free until you return your phone....

Why does it tick me off! you my friend are either ignorant or stupid. It is my Statutory right here in the UK to be sold a product that is fit for purpose. From the sales of good act

I see nothing wrong with googles policy.

Get a part time job maybe if you can't afford them freezing the $349 on your card for two weeks.

I felt for you when reading about your phone problem.

But after reading your whining posts about googles policy well thats life in the big city.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
What Google could do is send a pre-paid bag out and NOT send a replacement phone and once they receive the faulty they then send a new one. OK, you're without a phone for a day or so but it would mean no one is out of pocket and Google don't lose out as they get the original back first. We do this at my company and it works just fine

I find it hard to believe you Americans think that Google's policy is fair? I work full time but would still find it an inconvenience that a device I bought in good faith died and I have to fund a replacement first before I can get the replacement. Not everyone has £350 available as disposable cash, I certainly don't as everything I earn is budgeted for and ear marked for bills, rent, etc. A shop wouldn't ask you to do this and neither should a mail order purchase.

I'm not bashing Google as a company, just their returns policy
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
I get what you are saying but I don't think you are understanding what is happening. If you want an RMA they hold the money on your card because they are sending you a brand new device. You are 100% able to send the phone in to LG for free to have it replaced under warranty because it is faulty. You have an option that does not cost you any money. You are taking the option that does.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atticusmas:
By the way they don't actually charge you any money for the replacement they simply authorize in case you don't send them back a phone. Also you can keep your phone on until you get the replacement and then you can send them back your faulty one.

If funds were that tight I wouldn't be buying a $349. Phone to start with.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
That's just a piss poor response to a valid point. I can afford the phone, and I will be buying on on Friday as it happens, I was saying I don't have an ADDITIONAL £350 lying about. If it went wrong I'd expect it to be repaired/replaced at no cost within the warranty. I can live without a phone for a day or so so Google should provide the RMA package WITHOUT sending a new phone and once they receive the faulty one they send a new one. HTC do this. Everyone would be happy. Google could easily do this but choose not to and this is why I think their RMA procedure is poor.

Sorry im not a middle aged man, living at home with my parents, with nothing better to spend my money on. Im to busy living in the real world working and providing a good life for my family.What was the reason you commented on this post again? An let me remind you its £349 that's $570 to you.

I Agree that it would be better process to be able to send your device back for an exchange, not only would you not be out of pocket but would be a faster process. I think you would find that is a more normal business practice, at least here in UK. You don't have to re buy a product if you want an exchange it at any other mail order company Maybe this guy works for google and has so much spare cash because he is keeping hold everyone's money for 14 days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton900:
i was unaware of this option and was never made aware of it otherwise i would have done so.

Im well aware of the technicality of how they hold the funds but it is as good as being charged as you have no access to that money. That was what i was trying to get at,

1. Is it not the point Google are trying to make by making available a high spec device at an affordable price.

2.Being able to spare £350 and being able to spare £700 is bit of a difference don't you think.

3,I think your missing point its not so much about being able to spare the cash as it is the fact you give a company your business and when things go wrong you expect to be treated as a valued customer. I never asked for a special treatment or the world for that matter, i just wanted an easy, inconvenient way of replacing faulty goods.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigFwoosh:
I experienced the same issue last night. Charged my phone up and it was fine. Put it in my pocket, took it out a couple hours later and it was off. Haven't been able to turn it on since. No water damage, and I've never dropped it. I'm going through the RMA process now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACastanza:
That is completely bull****. I spent two hours on the phone with LG, Google, and LG+Google support managers trying to get a repair on an *in warranty* nexus 4, (they stated that this same policy applies to the Nexus 5) instead of a RMA through Google. LG will NOT do in-warranty service, if you send a Nexus that was bought through google play to LG they treat it as an out-of-warranty repair no matter what. (Yes, I am very aware that this policy is illegal, I tried explaining that to the person they transferred me to in LG legal, they said to try my luck with small-claims). To get your money back after they bill you the out of warranty price for your in warranty repair you have either have to go to small-claims court or try to get your bank to reverse the charge. Its a total bull**** policy that is, in fact, illegal, but until someone actually sues them over it, nothing is going to change. I ended up just biting the bullet on the normal RMA since I've got a Nexus 5 anyway.

LG will not accept in-warranty repairs for Google Play purchased Nexus devices, they require you to go through Google, no exceptions. I really wish it weren't true, but a conference call with LG and Google Play support managers resulted in my beating my head against a wall on exactly this issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Sprinkles:
Been a while since I used a debit card, but I remember my bank actually did prevent me from spending funds that were pre-authorized. Yes, the money was still mine, but it's set aside and I wasn't able to touch it until the preauth expired. Can be very inconvenient when cash is tight.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jsl10:
When I turn on my tablet and the wi-fi is on there are usually apps that need updating. When apps are downloading the tablet slows to a crawl. If I'm reading I can hardly turn the pages! If I swipe to turn a page it's like 10 seconds. Is there something specific to look at that would bring the tablet to it's knees when it's downloading anything over wi-fi? When wi-fi is off it's just fine as far as flipping around to different things but kinda useless to not have wi-fi on. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Are you still using stock Rom? Have you try any custom Roms yet? The slow I/O is the bottle neck for this issue...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jsl10:
Yes, stock everything. I had a feeling it was I/O because it's the worst during the download of the new app vs the actual installation of it. I know it's not the hardware limit because it never used to be this way before the last big update (months ago). Do others see the tablet lag so bad when downloading app updates?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Unfortunately, yes and most users using stock have this lag issue. Some have more than others...:( If you don't a lot of apps to install, you could try to do a factory reset and hope that it would help..:)

Also, you could try to clear all the memory from the apps or games that you don't use any more to give a little more reserved memory when you need them. You could also disable all the unused apps and games so you can reduce some cpu resource and memory during heavy usages..:)

Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The easy solution is to disable auto-updating in the Play Store settings. I hate it anyway if my tools are doing stuff on their own schedule! I'm the boss here! I tell 'em when to update! LOL
[Asus Transformer TF700] jsl10:
Ya, I suppose that's probably the best thing to do since I didn't really want to go with a custom ROM. Then once in a while just turn it on and let it do all the updates. Strange how folks talk about how much better it is with a custom ROM. This implies that the problems are in software and can be fixed by software. Why doesn't Asus address these obvious problems? You'd think if something is so much better on their tablets, they would take a look at it and put the "fix" in their software.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You don't even have to turn it on. You still get notifications about updates waiting. They just don't install right away. Just go to the Play Store and hit 'Update All' - go have coffee. This has the added benefit that you can choose which apps to update. I'm still on the old Google Maps for example and will stay there until they bring "my Maps" back.

The speed and smoothness is a mix of software tweaks to deal with the slow memory of this tablet. The lag many users have is really due to cheap memory! I am currently running a really stripped down version of the Asus firmware called miniCromi-x on a fast class 10 SD card, and this thing flies! Best Quadrant score was 6900, most times I get between 6200 - 6500.

Hi:

I did root my phone, and I installed ClockwordMOD following the steps in this website:

pof [dot] eslack [dot] org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/

This I did from 1.0.0B02 version can be downloaded from ZTE page. Later, I installed another ROM I downloaded from ZTE page, in this case, a ROM TME Spain.

With this version I started to have problems, so I tried to return to the previous version using the Recovery and could not. I was wrong.

Nor could re-root the phone, so I could not install CWM.

Fastboot not working, because when I was trying to make something out this error:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.3-

roamer2.img

sending 'recovery' (5712 KB) ...

OKAY [0.487s]

writing 'recovery' ...

FAILED (status read failed (No such device))

finished. Total time: 5.824s

Unable to use fastboot or ADB, I had only the option of using the update.zip offering this site:

firefox [dot] ztems [dot] com

After updating correctly, restarting the phone everything seemed normal, but not passed the animated fox, and restarted again.

With version 1.1 installed FirefoxOS, the phone started to have problems.

Sometimes when unblocked the screen to put the code, pressing the numbers and did not write anything. I had to repeatedly press the power button for it to work.

The same was true at times when trying to access the applications. The touch did not work well at all or sometimes it was deemed.

Now when I try to update using any ROM from Recovery (which incidentally now says Android Recovery), I get the error:
