[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincy1020:
Hi:

I have had an S4 since the first day it came out on AT&T. Now I got an S4 active as a second phone. When on a call, using speakerphone, if call waiting comes in, speakerphone shuts off. This is a real problem, because I am no longer able to hear the person on the line, nor am I able to switch speakerphone back on for several seconds while rejecting the other call etc.I have never had this problem on my S4.

Please help me fix this,

Thanks!!

Ps. The S4 Active is on AT&T with stock 4.3 rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincado:
If you are still under warranty, I would bring it back. If you bought off eBay, try to get your money back or, if possible, take to Best Buy Samsung center, and try to reflash phone. As of right now, there is no root, for 4.3, so those fix options aren't available.

Hi:

Thanks so much for your reply. I discovered that the problem was an ill fitting case I got off Ebay. It must have somehow been pressing buttons or something. It was causing volume problems too.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help!

Hello XDA Community!

I seem to be having a serious issue with my phone and cannot seem to find a solution online, so I am hoping that someone here will be knowledgable enough to assist me!

When I slide my keyboard out on my sk17i, my screen refuses to change orientation or respond to my touches. Having tested this further, it seems that it is the screen itself that will not change, but keys pressed and touches are registered. I have figured out that I can slide the keyboard out about 40% (just over the bottom row of letters) and the screen seems to change orientation to landscape AND responds visually to my touches. Any more than that and it just stops.

I looked online and someone suggested passing a magnet (fridge) over the keyboard. I did that and it worked once for about a minute. After that it returned to this state and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. I have just put in an order for new facias and a new hardware keyboard to repair it as I have had it since the day it was released and some components are getting on a bit.

Does anyone know what the issue is? I only can think of one thing and that is a flex cable issue, but I cannot be sure at all...

I'd appreciate any help that can be given!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
At first glance, yes, seems like a flex cable/ribbon issue. You screen will remain frozen when the keyb is completely open because the framebuffer stops receiving signal from the motherboard. It wont take long until your screen shows artifacts or goes completely blank even when the keyb is closed. Your touch digitizer might also be affected by a bad flex cable.

I suggest you replace it as soon as possible, but don't try to do it yourself unless you have experience repairing phones. I tried to do mine and ruined the LCD display, making my repair cost three times as much :(

PD: magnet over the keyb? never heard of that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
Many thanks for that! The flex cable is out of stock right now, so that is quite worrying, I hope it lasts the next month or so! I think I should be okay with repairing it, since I've worked with very small and delicate electronics before in Engineering. Just will have to be super extra careful! Any advice about what to watch out for?

And yup, magnet seemed to work once, I saw it on a very old thread, but that was the only advice given there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Well, good luck! Be extremely careful with the display though, the original display assembly has unprotected corners and borders on the LCD so it's very easy to break it, especially on the lower side near the softkeys. Replacement parts often come with plastic and/or metallic protectors on them, which help keeping the LCD safe. Guess SE never meant for people to crack the phone open hehe.

again, good luck with that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
Aah okay! I guess I shouldn't bother replacing the facia then, don't want to break the screen! Thank you once again!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
Well, all my parts have now arrived, so tonight I'll be attempting this! Hopefully this goes well and fixes the problem!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Best of luck to you, mate.

Replacing a flex ribbon/cable on the mini pro is no easy task, requires patience and steady hands when sticking the big square part onto the metallic slider while making sure all of the other components (home button, camera, led and sensors) keep aligned in place. Do it wrong and you're in for an even more tedious mission haha.

PD: here's a crappy pic from when I did mine :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
Thanks for that! I was just struggling to take the motherboard off, and looking at the picture helped me see where I could try to pry it open!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Yeah, the mobo can be a b*tch to take off. Glad I could help. Be sure to tell us how it goes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
Well, after a cracked front facia (thanks to the previous repair that I had on it two years ago), and my temperamental lights, my phone works a charm! Replaced the flex cable, motherboard mount and hardware keyboard. Once again, thank you so much for your advice, I have decided to hang around this place much more often!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Repaired two years ago? Wow, your phone is kind of a veteran haha, mine is about to turn 2yo in about two months. Gotta get a birthday cake.

Good to know everything went fine. See you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
I've had my phone since two weeks before it was released in 2011 xD

I'm sure your phone will love the cake :P

Noticed a new glitch with my phone though... the softkey and keyboard lights start to light up when I switch the screen on, but as soon as the screen switches on the lights switch off?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Never heard of such problems. What rom are you on?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
I am running a stock gingerbread 2.3.3 rom, just rooted it a year ago. No other changes, apart from shoving CWM onto it for backup/restore
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r3izor:
Hey guys, I just saw this post after hours of frustration!, I recently changed my damaged slider mechanism on my sk17i and I had to transfer the ribbon cable from the one mechanism to the other but I glued it with 2mm adhensive that is used for screen, and the problem is when I open the phone it is always on landscape mode, like the phone thinks the keyboard is always out! Before I tried this repair

everything worked perfect

How the phone understands if the keyboard is out or not?

Please tell me what I could have done wrong, I would appreciate your help here!

Sorry for my bad english

Thank you in advance!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
I've been trying to figure that out myself too, it seems to be some kind of optical sensor. Whatever it is, it just works for me hehe.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r3izor:
And you dissasembled it and re-assembled with no problems?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
Welcome to XDA.

Like Pixelado said, it is probably an optical sensor. My advice would be to disassemble the phone again (without unsticking the flex cable though) and make sure everything is back in its correct place. It make just be something is a little out of place, which is very easy to do! Good luck!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Yes sir. I have never re-used a flex ribbon though. I removed the broken factory ribbon and stuck a new one in. No problems.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] r3izor:
Then as long as I dont know where the sensor is in order to find out my mistake, I am afraid my phone will be permanently on landscape :crying:

Thank you for your replies guys!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ECGadget:
There is one thing you can try, if your phone is not rooted: try to use Sony PC Companion to repair your phone? It will delete everything, so make sure you backup/make a list of everything you need. It may solve the issue
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
You might want to replace your ribbon cable. It's probably broken at this point.

there is a way to salvage your fone if you boot up into the rainbow screen all you have to do is extract the files of the rom package using winrar

and manually execute the romupdater file

i had a similar error when i rebooted it wouldnt boot right and i just got a blank screen so i booted into the tri color mode

extracted the files using winrar of the rom updater package

and just used the rom updater and bypassed all of the cid unlocking and stuff cuz it was already unlocked

Was not trying to come across bad. It's a proven method that involves changing two lines of code. It gets old when people who don't know how something works try to blame the person who does and their method/code.

My suggestion is a valid and proven way to test something that you may find unacceptable

If you don't want the person who wrote the code then don't mention them in your post. Then others who don't know how it works can continue to speculate on what the "problem" is.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zupik:
Dear all, can someone help me please. ( First of all sorry for my english, Im not native speaker )

- Phone: Defy, 4.1.1., CM10 - rooted.

I installed CyanogenMod 10 last week but my phone is unusable now. System is obviously damaged. There are many lags a freezes.

But main problem is:

- There is no google apps ( so i cant download and install apps )

- There is no file manager - i cant acces storage directly from phone

- When I try switch to recovery, phone just going to reboot and nothing more.

- When I connect phone to PC - ODIN cant load it. ( i installed all drivers for defy )

- usb connection to external SD on PC works fine ( but i can see only external card )

- when I try reboot to recovery in terminal emulator ( #reboot recovery) I get this " unable to create file/cache/recovery/bootmode.conf "

- phone lost all settings everytime I reboot.

So Im unable to repair current rom or flash new one because i cant acces recovery,storage or market.

Any ideas for me

Thanks very much :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PosixCompatible:
Well sounds like you did not follow the installation instruction for your rom. Some roms depend on preinstalled system/data. Start from the beginning :) Use RSD Lite to flash stock SBF, root, install 2ndinit, follow the installation instructions for your rom.

You could also try to wipe data/cache and reinstall the Rom of your choice first. Use Vol Down @ boot to get into bootloader/recovery.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alone-together:
Some good advice for those who have had their G2 for quite a while: go to the store and buy some cans of compressed air. The kind with the long straws work the best for this phone. Remember to be careful, don't shake the can, don't tilt it, just keep it upright, remember that the gas can give you frost bite if you use it improperly. Just put the end of the straw up to all of your phones ports and blow them out. I did this after about 3 months of use and a good amount of dust came out. I'd suggest doing this every 2 months, it will likely increase the phone's life and prevent charging problems.

I also like to take my phone out of its case and blow the dust out of it and off of the phone because dust seems to build up within it. I have a Diztronic TPU case if anyone's wondering.

Greetings to everybody...

I managed to find a way to install the fully translated GREEK firmware on a Universal (or Qtek-9000 or MDA-PRO or JASJAR or iMate or XDA EXEC or whatever you call it...) and i think this will help a lot of people besides me.

This is ONLY for people in Greece (or from Greece) that want - need a totally localised (Greek) environment for their Universal, but cannot have it if they bought the device outside Greece.

The local distributor locks the firmware (IMEI lock) so it can only work on devices sold by them.

Please remember this has nothing to do with SIM Lock. If your device is SimLocked this will NOT help you.

Do not try it if you cannot read Greek (in that case it is useless to you anyway).

To the point...

Download - find the Greek firmware: UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship_GR2.0.1.exe (full AKU2 and A2DP support)

This is the latest version from Greece (and it only works with this version).

Download this file: http://rapidshare.de/files/21123148/GR.zip.html

Read carefully the redme.txt inside and follow instructions.
