[HTC Droid DNA] TELE-FLASH:
I was given a htc DNA and it's been one headache after another. It had a cracked digitizer, s-off, eng hboot, unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery installed on it when it was given to me. Trying to make a long story short, I ended up having to replace the board with the sim card reader on it and immediately after putting the new board in the cameras quit working along with the speakers and microphone. I was able to get all but the cameras working, but then I bricked it, and here is how. I was attempting to return back to stock, relocked the boot loader, was attempting to use a ruu which wasn't working, so I decided to unlock my boot loader again. The story ends with me attempting the unlock with ez-unlock, and when I did it said successful and I was able to keep using the phone as normal, but after turning the phone off it wouldnt turn back on, and the only sign of life comes when I plug it into my computer. As soon as i connect it to my computer, htc sync manager opens up but says no phone connected, device manager will show the phone as my htc and android 1.0.. I've experienced similar signs of life from an htc vivid, but it's issues were due to a bad battery, so I am hoping for the best but expecting this to end with jtag. Can anybody help me out please, it would be great to not require jtag services, but it would be better yet if I could gain a better understanding of at least what went wrong. Thank you

You can't boot into anything? Not even bootloader mode?
[HTC Droid DNA] TELE-FLASH:
Sadly no, I can't get it to boot at all. I also need to mention that the lights don't come on when it's plugged in either. I'm thrown for a loop by it all because my computers will still react to it if I hook it up to them with usb, but that's about all they will do. Why would sync manager open up when I plug it in, but then state that there is no device connected.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Ive seen where people have said to leave phone charging for 24 hours without trying to turn it on and it worked. I've also seen people run a calibration test on the battery but I forgot how to do it.
[HTC Droid DNA] ryanguy426:
EZ-Unlock is an unsupported method by the DNA hardware. It will always cause a hard-brick. Which you have done. I did this to myself at one point, too. I tried EZ-Unlock and it hard-bricked my DNA. Call Verizon. Tell them that it just randomly started doing this. Don't mention root or anything. They'll replace it for free. That's what I did.

Sorry about that bud. Try to do some more research before modding your phone next time.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Oh I see.

Or, he could so kindly ask Zarboz to jtag it for him and fix it possibly. I'm not saying he will jtag it but he does jtag work, so if you want to know more you should pm him about it.
[HTC Droid DNA] ryanguy426:
Yeah I forgot Z could JTAG it... Thanks for posting that. I am sure that he will be more than happy to JTAG it for him.

Can you get into the bootloader by holding power+volume down for any amount of time?

Have you let it sit on the charger over night?

Hold power down for at least 20 seconds to a minute?
[HTC Droid DNA] TELE-FLASH:
Well thank you for your feedback, and assistance. I owe most everything I know about phones to XDA and it's members! Regarding my situation with the DNA, yup sure enough it is bricked. I figured it was, but have had similar reactions from a bad battery in the past, so.. Regarding the process of unlocking the boot loader, this is the first time I've ever directly seen anything regarding the cid. Not sure if maybe it has been part of the process in ways that I was unaware of in the past with other phones or if this is more device specific, but either way would anybody possibly know where I could find more in depth information regarding this and if there is anybody who is knowledgeable with this that wouldn't mind helping somebody out?

sorry for the run on sentences lol

oh, and thank you for the referral to Zarboz, I will definitely be getting in touch with him.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkprasad:
Hi All,

I am using LG G2 international version from past 20 days. From the day one, I have one problem with this phone and unfortunately I am unable to re-produce the same with exact steps. My phone is not responsive sometimes, stuck, and getting re-started. It happened so many time and I could see at least 5 to 10 times in a day. I am basic user, just using few apps like facebook, subway surfers, fruit ninja, Skype, temple run, flipboard, swiftkey, whatsapp...The problem started even without installing these apps. Other than this problem, phone is working perfectly

Phone is not responsive when a received a call --- observed couple of times

Subway Surfers - while playing the game, phone stuck and restarted - observed two times

Just moving between screens and going to thru settings, etc, stuck & restarted -- observed many times

When I complete sending message (normal messenger) and clicking back button / After completing call and returning back --- stuck and restart --- observed many times

Some times, re-start it self happens twice. I am fed up with this phone, really disappointed to see a phone worth of 35 K INR behaves like this. Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce the issue, but it is happening very frequently.

I have tried removing lock screen and turning of animation scale off - no use

the seller who sold me this phone (flipkart) is not willing to replace this device and I don't have time to go to service center to fix the problem as I have traveling to US this weekend.

If any one you are facing similar problem and if there is any fix, pls help.

Regards,

Siva

Hi

Thanks for making the thread.I was considering to make one about this.Well,I think it is something that everybody have known from long before.I also think that it is time to use those leaked source.Sony will try to avoid answering about them.I talked with a sony agent in the Xperia Care chat room and she was always trying to avoid answering my questions about them(Always saying"It's not sth we advise you-it'll void your guarantee" and things like this).I kept asking if there is any legal problem and she did the same thing(saying those things again...).It's a leak after all and no company would accept leaks(I guess sony will neither ban us nor permit us to use it-even If it has legal problems,they will not make things worse by summoning devs to court-It's a legacy device after all) .Now that the support is officially over,I guess Devs need to really think it over.Good luck

Well Sony dont fall or anything because of this that we dont get 4.3 or even 4.4, they have more products then mobile phones, like televisions, game console's like ps3/ps4, camera, radio's, dvd players, sound systems, headphones etc etc etc.

Dont get pissed about that !!

Sony gives more support then any other manifracture like Samsaung/Apple

There will always be the people who only use official Android builds from the manufacturer, but they are not the type to be using XDA anyway.

I haven't used official builds since they stopped at Jellybean, which actually worked well enough, but my ST25 runs really well on Kitkat using an AOKP build, I have tried several 4.4.2 builds, most are still too buggy to use for daily drivers yet, the AOKP version being the exception so far.

I guess if you want your walkman app and other 'Sony' features you will just have to be happy with Jellybean. Seems a shame as 4.4.2 is the smoothest yet on my ST25 :laugh:

Thank goodness for the developers at XDA giving our Xperia U some hope.

Poorly managed Sony

Sony made a bad software to xperia p with jelly bean 4.1.2, so i am user and give money to buy a good working phone and buy especially sony. But sony cheated me as a user. The phone don't work good, i have never been satisfied with its software. So when i will buy a tv, pc or anything else, sony is not my first choice any more. That doesn't mean i wont buy any more sony, but my confidence is not as well as before buying a sony phone.

So i found xda for a few day ago, and i have a good working cm11 now. Thanks to all of developers.

But sony had to give us a good working software, 4.0, 4.1 or anything else, but they didn't do that...

Well latest stock firmware for S2 is 4.1.2, but it's a 2011 phone that want through gingerbread, ics and JB. And it received JB when my sola was still running gingerbread. Now i run a 4.4.2 rom and I'm happy with it.

The point is that we don't have to blame Sony because we're not getting JB or kk. We have to blame Sony because they didn't give us a working firmware without bugs! My sola is my 2nd device and often it is diffucult to receive a call!

More products do not necessarily indicate a company's financial state is healthy. It's a bit more complicated than that. That article was updated end of last year. As far as quarterly reports go, that's the latest so far, i believe.

On topic: i don't understand why this is an issue. We can't expect oem's to keep supporting their products past the agreed-upon terms. It's silly and counterproductive from a business point of view - and these companies are here first and foremost for profit. It's sad that our devices are not going to have official updates, but is there a company (samsung, htc etc) that would support their devices 2-3 years down the road? This is why we're on xda. We should know that no matter if your device is a company's flagship device they will stop supporting it sooner or later.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Lately I've grown quite fond of hardshell cases for my Nexus 5 as they keep the slimness and aesthetic of the phone. I've already tried the Nillkin Frosted Sheild (gibsonflyingv posted a great review here) and the Ringke Slim, and while they're both decent, I thought I could do better and felt like the Poetic Slim Palette might fit the bill. Does it? Read on! :laugh:

Right away, I'll tell you that I really, really like this case. It's just as thin as some other slim cases (if not thinner), but it's the finish that's the real takeaway here. The Slim Palette is what has been referred to as a "sandpaper" case in that it feels like a low-grit sandpaper, but to me, it feels more like a really rough cotton. The feel is a little jarring at first, but after you get used to it, it's brilliant. It provides excellent grip without the rubbery feel of the Nillkin case or the "stickiness" of a TPU case. And whereas other cases claim to be (and are often not), it's also 100% anti-fingerprint. I've been handling it like a lover, and it still looks like I've never touched it. I love the finish of it.

The fit is also another bright spot. As I mentioned, it's just as slim as competing cases, if not slimmer. It's so slim in fact that I wasn't sure the camera lens on the back was going to be protected (it is). It has a lay-on-the-table design and it hugs the phone well and doesn't feel loose anywhere. The corners are nicely rounded and avoid the sharp edges that are common on many other cases. In short, it's a perfect fit.

Another nice thing about the case is how it wraps up and around the back and around the corners. Other hardshell cases offer minimal protection, and while this case isn't going to save your phone from a massive fall, the protection it does offer, at least comparing to the Nillkin, is a bit more stout and should be sufficient from an accidental drop off a desk or similar. It's also much, much easier to remove than other hardshell cases. If I have to watch a tutorial on how to remove your case, then you've failed in the engineering department. This case snaps on and off easily while still staying extremely snug.

Overall, this is easily my favorite hardshell case thus far. It offers excellent fit and finish, and for only $5 on Amazon, the value can't be overstated. It's easily better than the Ringke and offers the slimness of the Nillkin with better protection. I can't recommend this case enough to any Nexus 5 owner who wants a minimal case with better protection than most hardhsell cases offer.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] moomingstarz:
How sad, this case is $20 in Canada. I'll debate about it though, since this sandpaper like texture is intriguing!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] roustabout:
I have this case in blue and agree that the feel is wonderful. I bought it so I'd have 'something' while I waited for the limefuel battery case to arrive - and the limefuel would benefit from the textured surface and from the slightly taller 'lip' over the screen that the Poetic has.

I have one of the Spigen glas fronts on the phone, and that front felt recessed in the Poetic and almost flush in the limefuel. Jury's very much out on the limefuel right now, especially since I installed the Uber kernel which seems to have outstanding battery life.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
I'll wait for Mr. Bacon to confirm this but I suspect this is the $1 QuickSand case people have been buying from Ebay. Ships from China for free, has extras included and has been reviewed quite favorably.

The $5 price point kind of confirms it in my mind and the Bear Motion branded ones also look the exact same.

See what I mean here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577289
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Those are extremely similar, the cut especially. I wonder if the finish feels the same...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yeah, they look like the same $0.99 ebay ones. Even the mold line that is apparent on the right side vs left. They do have a darker blue and a yellow choice for colours, so there's that. But yeah, it appears to be the same case. Here is my comparison of the bear motion vs generic ebay. Identical everything, even choice of backgrounds haha.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48771439&postcount=13

Here is the mold line comparison on the right side vs my lime green case. You can see that the mold line is on the exact same spot on the right side on both cases, and not on the left side on both cases.

*Edit* - My poor usb port.... Stupid stock Nexus 5 cable and your teeth of death.... Thank you Qi chargers!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floepie:
Why do you think this is better than the Nillkin? I have it and it's really great with its textured back. It's thin and doesn't scratch the phone. I'm just really not keen on the sand look. To my eyes it removes the sleekness of the phone, whereas the Nillkin has some character.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Honestly I like it more because the grip is better and it's easier to remove. There's also a small lip that goes over and under the top and bottom of the phone that would protect it from impact if you dropped it straight down whereas the Nillkin wouldn't since the Nillkin stops just short of the top and bottom of the phone. Granted the Nillkin looks better and I wasn't a fan of the sandpaper cases for the same reason, but unless you're looking at it up close, you really don't even notice the texture.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] alex.daoud:
Anyone know if this case/quicksand is compatible with wireless charging? Seeing conflicting reports.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
The Poetic is. Can't speak for any other sandpaper case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
I strongly dislike this case. It's so slippery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vytman:
Can anyone pls tell me if this case enhances or cuts off the vibration? Or it's the same without a case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Yaminashi:
I've been looking for a minimal case lately due to being tired of having my nexus completely covered up.

Does this case leave any marks/scratches on the phone like the SGP ultra fit?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
This has to be a troll post. This case, and sandpaper cases in general, have the best grip of any case I've ever used on any phone.

Not at all. I made a habit of cleaning off my phone every week without the case and I've removed it many times (without much issue I might add). There isn't a mark on it...and I have the white case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
You obviously haven't used it. How is it 'sandpaper'? You're pathetic. Try a Ringke slim for grip. You'll be blown away
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jason_MCG:
Check the OP, friend - I wrote it. And I also compare the case several times to the Ringke Slim. I wasn't blown away.

Hello ...

two days ago i've unlocked and flashed custom kernel & rom (Super JB) on device Arc S LT18. I, and don't know why, used Flashtools to recover to 2.3.4 and after that installed the mentioned rom (yes i've cleared all). Now the device only boots if i use Menu + Power button. What the hell ? If i only use the power button, the green light flashes and nothing else (no boot). DO i need a clean wipe and all over again? Maybe i must flash original kernel 5.4. ?

yes, i've flashed the patch after the rom.
