[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
If we do not know why the phone is not booting up, we cannot tell u which part to change.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
yeah thats the same situation i'm in.

at the very least, one of the boards is showing 5W of power consumption when connected to a wall charger (which is connected to a power meter).

since the battery is charging, that implies something is working - but i'm getting nothing on the screen and not hearing sounds out of the speaker.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Is tat the water dmged one or?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
i cant tell which board came from which shell unfortunately, however this board/battery is charging in the water damaged shell, but showing 0W in the 'clean' shell.

backwards to what i'd expect. maybe this ones just a dead screen, and the other has some more serious, but better hidden damage.

edit: the 'water damaged' shell + board had a red charging LED show up, that went away when i hit the power button. didnt power on after that/the touchscreen buttons dont light up when touched.

edit 2: with my good battery the LED went blue and the backlit buttons lit up. i think this hardware combo works, and i just need a new LCD :D - will trst it out with MHL and see if that works...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
:D

looks like this combo just needs a digitiser + LCD, despite getting an image on screen i cant control it in any way.

thanks for the help jelly, you at least helped me think this one through and come up with viable testing methods.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Welcome :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
so using that test above (wall meter then MHL) i've confirmed that one board works, one doesnt. in either frame one board lights up the LED and the other doesnt draw any power or give any sign of life (assuming this is the water damaged one)

i've got one of everything (front + back camera module, speaker etc) literally all im missing is a LCD screen.

to ebay i go, this has been a good day :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
this just got hilariously fun.

i ended up temporarily using the LCD + digitiser from my i9305 (it works but hte back panel cant be closed) to sync up a bluetooth mouse to the phone.

now i can use it as a bluetooth controlled HTPC :D

my advice would be just keep reading the forums and bit by bit you'll get the hang of it. Also go to software distributor sites like pocketgear.com or handango.com and search for apps in your field of work/study and you'll find some things that will make your life easier (thats what these things were designed to do btw, although sometimes they just cause a headache!)

[Micromax A110] Santhosh M:
Hi all,

My both SIM cards are not detecting in my A110 Canvas 2. I have tried all custom ROM's.

The SIM cards are also fine as they are working in other phones.

I also flashed the JB stock ROM through SP Flash tools but still it is not detecting. Next i tried flashing A110 ICS Stock ROM V2 & V1 using SP Flash tools, but still both sim cards are not detecting.

The IMEI no's that are in the phone settings are also matching with the one in the sticker of the phone as well as the phone box.

There is no problem in hardware part as per my nearby service shops.

Could anyone help me on this issue?
[Micromax A110] noufalcku:
i also have the same problem please help me
[Micromax A110] Santhosh M:
Actually mine was a hardware issue and i had given to service center and they replaced by sim slot.

But you make sure u haven't lost IMEI. ( To check it just go to Settings->About phone->Status->IMEI information )

If u haven't lost IMEI and have the same problems as described by me above then you might have hardware problem. Check service center.

[General Questions and Answers] mwyarm:
I lost root upon this last Verizon upgrade to 98.72.165. I think it was 98.72.16 before this weekend's update. I am going to try and go back to the original JB (98.72.16), enable root and hopefully find some type of rootkeeper utility that will stop this craziness. I can keep you posted if this works as I don't know what else to do. I use the Tasker application and most of my tasks are not functioning.
[General Questions and Answers] mwyarm:
Everything worked well. I was able to reinstall the 98.72.16 image and then I applied root. So, I am back at the point before the upgrade of the software. I have root back and just completed a full titatium backup. Now, I need to figure out what others are using to keep root enabled so when a software update is applied I do not lose root. Anyone who can suggest what they use would be helpful.

To the first person who posted, I may be able to walk you through what I did and we can then learn what others are doing to keep root together.
[General Questions and Answers] fredlpage:
98.72.165.en.US version

I am rooted. Haven't changed from the Moto/Verizon JellyBean update (4.1.2) but have deleted a lot of the programs I don't like or use. When I've tried to let the 98.72.165.en install it starts, then the Droid animation goes "belly up" with a "!"

I know others with root have installed it and I wouldn't mind having the update since I do travel within Canada about once a year. But, if I can't get it to install, then how do I tell the updated I don't want this? It's getting a bit tiresome to tell the installer "Not Now" every twelve hours.

I was able to successfully root my phone after the update without a re-flashing or a wipe with Matt's Utility.

I followed the instruction in the link below. However, once I put the phone into BP Only mode, nothing happened. I let it sit there for about 5 minutes, then rebooted it normally and finished the exploit. It rooted the phone just fine.

So now I need to find the notes that I have save……

Is there any one can help pleases…….thanks

I dont know where the files are stored but i would use a program called stringfinder (i run windows). It can search all files and it will find your notes.

Notes from phone?..Look in "My documents" and also you have "Note" folder on your phone :)

Sorry I get it..Misunderstanding..Well you can search by the name of folder (name you give it) or by the names of notes.. :)

Several ROMs are debloated, for example,

[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | Best STOCK ROM

It might be good to peek in the ROM Bible:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1423022

And go through the developer's thread to see the list of ROM's and read their first page where the features/unfeatures/undocumented features (bugs) are listed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Good answer!

You really have to be careful when uninstalling apps.

Best thing to do is to freeze them in titanium backup first. Then if they kill something you can un freeze them.

Thanks pbergonzi and Chevy for your valuable replies :)

and one more question

Debloated ROM means what kind of ROMs ? What exactly does it mean ?

sorry i am noob :(

thank you
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Debloating means to remove the bloat. Bloat means to puff up, or swell. Some people feel that carriers fill the phones with junk, such as T-mobile apps, that is, bloated. Some developers make ROM's without the junk or bloatware, thus debloated.

The simple act of google finds explanations of bloat, etc. That is a reminder to search. One of the things that separate noobs from non-noobs is the ability to use a search engine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] akshay desai:
Thank You

so basically you are saying search before you post, right ?

ok got it !

sorry

thank you friend :)

Use rom toolbox to get rid of bloat, it has an uninstaller through which you can remove any system applications. Make sure you have root and proper know how which application can be removed without ending up in a boot loop
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] am3606:
So I tried downloading the beanstalk 4.4 for the nexus 5 via phone....that worked perfectly. I tried downloading the GAAPS and it said download complete on the notifications. Thinking everything was fine and dandy, I go to the bootloader, then recovery and then install beanstalk 4.4. Only problem is I get the "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable" which means GAAPS isn't installed.

So how do I remove it to try again? Or can I do this via computer?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
that doesnt mean that gapps arent installed, you can run any rom fine without the gapps. it means that something probably corrupted. ive seen this on different phones, only a wipe/reflash helped.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] am3606:
The rom runs fine its just no apps will open that I want. Like youtube, gmail, google+ etc. Going to manually place the zip folder into my downloads and then flash the GAPPS.

7 days on battery

Model: Xperia C1905

Build: 15.4.A.0.23 (Android 4.3)

Battery: Mugen Power 1900mAh

Single Charge: 7days 2hours

WiFi: 8:30 - 23:00

Mobile Data: Off

NFC: On

Root Access: Yes

Stamina Mode: Off

Usage: No gaming, video or extended screen use. Just light use.

Update

For firmware build 15.4.A.1.9 (Android 4.3) Sony states:

Nice to know, we get even more battery life out of a single charge.
[Sony Xperia M] BlackArtsInc:
7 days? So what? You almost do not use the phone at all.

I'm getting around 15-16h with sync,Wi-Fi or H+ data on (one or the other is on all the time),calls 1h+,screen time around 3-4h and no energy leaks (no more than 3-4% according to Wakelock Detector).

So yes,a Mugen battery would help maybe extend this to 20h.

It's only a 10% bump really (1750 to 1900mAh) at 45$!

If I charge the phone and leave it on overnight I easily get 24h but it's not really relevant since I need to charge it again at noon the next day...

N.

Not sent from my Xperia.
[Sony Xperia M] Android Bob:
True, everybody's usage is different at given times.

I was using another phone and I just had the chance to let an Xperia M idle for a week with only 1½ hours of light screen use.

Mail, Calendar, WhatsApp and numerous other apps were configured and active/sync'n, with background processes/services.

My main interest was to see what the telephony drain of maintaining a GSM signal with the phone's carrier over time would be.

I was happy that 97% of telephony was at the higher end of signal strength in the general area and that it only used ⅓ of the battery to maintain that signal over a week.

As a real controlled test, GSMArena Battery test for the Xperia M is one of the better ones for comparing battery life over various phones.

Besides, having a phone last for over a week on a single charge may be mooted often, but it's nice to know it can be done in real life AND that we can say 'so what' to boot, really extolls the virtue of an Xperia M (4" WVGA screen) and it's battery life.

Pity an XPERIA S(LT26) with 720p screen can't get half the battery life of the Xperia M on a 1700mAh battery *sigh*

Oh, one thing (amongst others) I found is that Sony TV Sideview woke the system 512 times (bringing it out of deep sleep) in a week when it wasn't even used compared to mail(kaiten) which only woke the system 337 times and was used. Google Play Service (927) and Android System (742) with time held awake loosely tracking the same apps. Poorly configured apps become more noticeable over a week of almost no use. ;)

[Update]

Model: Xperia C1905

Build: 15.4.A.1.9 (Android 4.3)

Battery: Mugen Power 1900mAh

Single Charge: 8days

WiFi: 8:30 - 23:00

Mobile Data: Off

NFC: On

Root Access: Yes

Stamina Mode: Off

Usage: No gaming, video or extended screen use. Just light use.

The above indicates that battery life has not been compromised with the fw upgrade to 15.4.A.1.9 as I note a screen time of 1h 25m on this battery cycle in the same environment.

I'm using a Spigen Neo Hybrid, myself, because it's the thinnest dual layer case I know of.

I merely posted what I did to make the point that the case has a job to do, which is different for each individual, and you better put a case in place that's suited for that job. A case like the one you posted won't help against drop protection, as much as a huge bulky case won't suit the job of being sleek, thin and easy to pocket.

[LG Optimus G (International)] AhsonAli:
Hello I have recently moved to android bought Lg-f180.

Well i tested everything and it was working fine except for the edge

I bought it and factory reset it

After that im encountering so many problems

Most strange is sometimes its sensonrs start working and sometimes they dont

I did a reset again and all sensors stopped working

Now few are working and few are not.

On AndroSensor few sensors are on "waiting for event"

The rom in this phone is not korean, its Vietnamese 4.1.2

It was pre installed

Is this a hardware fault or software?

What should i do?

Also on imei.info model is swift f180 (how do u know if its K,l or S?)

Regards,

Ahson Ali

How do i know which model is it, f180k , f180l or f180s, any physical difference or any app that can tell me regardless of what rom is installed?

Where can I find the correct rom for this phone?

Any pre-requistes as in backing up something (efs or kernel)and how?

The whole procedure?

I have been looking for these answers in different forums for almost 10hrs now, can you please direct me somewhere i can get these answers scripted for begginers on android?

Yup thats it

Thanks brother

Now please tell me how do i flash it!

1- Download F180k20B_00.kdz

2- Download KDZ Updater

3- go into Download mode (there is no option to selecy btw just say "download mode, dont unplug the cable")

4- ran KDZ FW UPD.exe (3gqct, cs_emergency, navigate kdz file and launch software update

Thats it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] AhsonAli:
Thanks bro I did manage to flash stock rom easily, it did fix some senors but all the motion sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, linear acceleration and orientation) are not working!

anything else I should try before concluding its a hardware fault?
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Try a hard reset. If it still occurs, better send to repair.
[LG Optimus G (International)] AhsonAli:
I've just noticed when battery went below 30% few more sensors stopped working and when i recharged and restarted it they were functional.

but no luck with motion sensors.

also I have noticed Bluetooth Mac Address is "unavailable" though its working just fine.

could this has to do something with kernel?
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Are you using STOCK ROM from the KDZ? Are you unlocked(bootloader)?
[LG Optimus G (International)] AhsonAli:
Stock rom yes with all carrier specific bloatware, this is what i did right after I encountered the issue on Vietnamese Rom

now phone is not rooted and i really dont know how to unlock bootloader.
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Have you tried hard reset?
[LG Optimus G (International)] AhsonAli:
Yes twice

once from inside the settings

and once by the power and volume button sequence
[LG Optimus G (International)] MitoTakatori:
Hmmm. Then try any custom roms, like vanir or mokee, I have no problem with my sensors. If worse comes to worst, your phone is hardware bricked.
[LG Optimus G (International)] AhsonAli:
yes im looking for guides over the internet for doing that atm...
[LG Optimus G (International)] AhsonAli:
I have converted to E975 and now using CM11.

my sensors still showing same behaviour worked for a while then phone crashed on launching camera app and sensors stopped.

someone told me it could be kernel problem

what do you suggest, what kernel should I flash on cm11 (4.4.2)

or should I flash some other custom rom aswell?
