the connectors come loose inside.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yodafreak:
It takes quite a bit of force to pull the screen ribbon connector off of the main board... you must have whacked the phone pretty good for this to happen. I guess if the backlight is not comming on anymore, then it could have happened. If this happened, you are in luck. Otherwise, it is something else.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fluffcat1:
Nice pics, don't mean to sound pedantic but that's a CDMA NM8 harrier in your guide not a GSM NM8 blueangel. Althought the overall shape is the same the sim card holder ( blanked off in the harrier ) is in a different place and the blueangel does not have a flash unit above the camera. The backup battery is socketed directly to the board and not on a fly lead also. But hey, all the screws are in the same places!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yodafreak:
DOH! You're right. I guess I found something that looked similar to the Audiovox PPC6600/VX6600 Harrier(CDMA) Blueangel(GSM) or whatever the heck they are calling this thing!

I figure the BA crowd can still use the info because there are many similarities (however, I can't get back into the page to edit, says 'page not found', using IE6)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] flux3000:
Update:

Thanks guys for the pics much appreciated,

might still have to open it, but i thought i'd try the warranty route first.

So after getting an invoice for the my third replacement insurance unit (now faulty) i sent the PDA2K to the imate repair centre.

Few days later got a quote of £410.35 to repair the mainboard. (9 pounds to get it sent back with no repair)

Out of Warranty Reason

illegal Unlock

I called the repair centre and they said the warranty was rendered invalid because 3rd party software was installed that turned the IMEI numbers to zeros on the mainboard.

Now what does that mean?

a) Insurance company phone shop gave me a dodgy phone? :roll:

b) i installed some software that somehow did that (not that i'm aware of) :oops:

c) the repair centre just came up with a crap reason and high bill to stitch me up :twisted:

I've sent a fax to insurance company and email to imate support and will see what happens.

Anyone had a similar reason for out of warranty?

What does it mean when IMEI on mainboard all zeros?

Thanks again for help

Cheers

(PS Should this be a new thread now?)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fluffcat1:
One thing to throw back at them - why on earth would an i-mate device be locked in the first place for you to unlock it?

All zeros usually means the security area is corrupted. Doubt you need a new board BTW, just a flash with jtag.

Do a search for problems with SBE's repairs...

i tried to look at the forum for help but i cant do it yet, i people more skilled than me who solved this problem or who know how to solve it, now im trying to install a custom rom but i cant, i can only have stock kernels via Odin :(

Note: i had this same problem with a I717R i had, i never tried so deep but with this phone i need to do it!

Thank you

How did you install TWRP ?

What ROM are you trying to flash ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Usually has to do with an updater binary in the zip package. To start off, double check md5.

We definitely need to know what roms you trying and a link to the thread where you got it. Is the rom one made for T0LTETMO (SHG-T889) or T0LTE?

Thanks for your help
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
Which system version? See menu>setting>about phone

Should be something like ..blur version.1.3.380....
[Motorola Droid X2] dukkha2:
Thanks for answering my question.

My system version: 1.3.418

My OS android 2.3.5
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
That is latest official software.

That is Gingerbread,

You can try a custom rom.

First you need to decide which rom you want to try.

In My opinion, eclipse is the most stable and is the only rom that can be installed over 1.3.418, *but is only Gingerbread

All other roms (CM7, CM9, CM10...) require flashing older 2.3.4/1.3.380 .SBF/firmware with rsd lite or ezSBF DX2 2.3.4.

pick a Rom, some links in my list

Flash Firmware if you want (CM7, CM9, CM10...), Root with ,

Install BSR aka CWM/Bootstrap Recovery

Download Rom, if installing CM you also need Gapps that match android version you are installing.

Install Rom using BSR How to use bootstrap recovery

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szotaa:
Hi folks I have a problem with lof wifi speed. I have a 100mbps connection and whilr i connect to it with my laptop speedtest show ~100 mbps dl speed. When i connect with my old s2 speed test shows ~ 30 mbps dl speed (thats probably becuse its just an old phone and it doesnt support such speed). But with my brand new s3 I only get 1mbps dl speed, which is quite low I think (especially when watching hd youtube videos). What may be the matter? I use official stable release of cm10.2 with boeffla kernel (latest stable version for cm 10.2). I never changed any firmware or radio. May it be the cause? When i got this phone i had stock 4.3.0 rom installed on it.

Thanks To [MENTION=4900593]mirhl[/MENTION] for this great tweak!

COMPLETELY DISABLE FAST DORMANCY ON XPERIAs

fast dormancy should be a battery-saving feature of UMTS networks.

Tested:

Acro S

Ion

S

T

TL

TX

V

Z1 Compact

ZR

!Your phone must be rooted to edit system files

Every recent phone support this specification. Some times it's a real battery saver!

But others it is not. If your carrier doesn't use this feature your mobile will never enter deep sleep

If you think your battery life is too short -and you suffer especially from "Android OS" wakelocks- then this could be for you

First of all, you'll need to know your carrier MCC and MNC. You can found these on wikipedia or in your APN configuration

Navigate and open ./etc/fast-dormancy/fd_custm_conf.txt

you'll see two lines ending with MCC and MNC and two zeros

Change those zeros with the code you look earlier and save

Reboot and enjoy

Battery can last up to 30% longer after applying this fix (admitted you had this problem before)

Nope, this is a system file issue that is eating up the battery cause the cpu isn't sleeping well or something keeps running on stock.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riepennase:
Hi,

I have a very annoying problem with my Note 3.

Currently I am on Temasek V50.1 and before that I was on official 4.4.2.

My problem is that I can't really watch YouTube videos with the official app because the quality is just atrocious (on CM and official KK).

I tried reinstalling it and cleared cache. Nothing worked.

Next I installed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529715

([MOD] YouTube 4.4.11 (v5b), *1080p* / 720p HD (over WiFi & 3G), screen off playback)

The quality of the videos definitely improved but I still get this message: http://imgur.com/hiwjOYc

Plus it is a older version and I would like to use the newest of course.

Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] daslee:
I've noticed that my Sony Xperia Acro S sends random sms from sms history to my contacts when phone restarted, and my friend with sony xperia phone has same problem. So we thought that it's the problem in Sony Xperia applications and I've noticed that Smart Connect (sony xperia app) have permission to send sms, so I rooted my phone and deleted it, but that does not helps.

Now I removed sim card from my phone and trying to find solution. Maybe someone had same problem and knows the solution? Or maybe there is any application for android to track which application is sending sms?

Hi, Is anyone having problems with app2sd working correctly on their i9305 jb 4.3 stock rom?

As you all know app2sd function was re-integrated back into android from jb 4.2 upwards. The problem is when i move any suitable/movable apps to external sd card wether through stock option or third party app2sd app function it all seems to work without problems until you restart the device and then you get a greyed out app icon with an "sd" sign at the bottom corner of it and when you try to open the app it says "app not installed".

Please someone help find the solution. Thanks kindly.

NOTE: the only thing i can think of is that when i was on previous rom 4.1.2 i rooted it and installed cwm also i also flashed a file called REMOVE.BOOT RECOVERY.P . but i should think after updating to the newest rom all would be reset but anyway thats about all i can think of at this moment.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
You sir, are brave. ;)

Sent from my N5 cell phone telephone....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, adomol...

As politely as I can put this, but "Why?"... did you try this...

Generally, the command...

fastboot erase <partition_name>

...will delete/erase whatever the named partition occupies. Often, this will be for something relatively innocuous, (eg., fastboot erase boot, fastboot erase userdata, etc.) but it also WILL ERASE THE UNIQUE DEVICE SPECIFIC, CRYPTOSIGNED BOOTLOADER for your unique Nexus 7 if your attempt to erase the bootloader succeeds. And your device is then HARDBRICKED:(:(.

---------------------------------------------

I suspect the reason why your quasi-suicidal attempt to brick your Nexus 7 failed, is because your bootloader is probably locked... and fastboot commands fail if the bootloader is locked.

I strongly recommend you desist from further experimentation along these lines.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adomol:
I know it was reckless and could have hardbricked my device, but the thrill overtook me. I have a history of this kind of behavior. But that is beside the point.

I've used fastboot many times and executed most of the usual commands... format, erase, flash, devices, oem unlock, oem lock. All on this very device. The same one I almost euthanized. It is a Nexus 7 2012, unlocked running all-f2fs SlimKat, bootloader version 4.23 (which is the current version.) I flashed that bootloader myself a couple months back when I did a nexus factory image install through fastboot. I also used the erase command on all the usual partitions before flashing them, as I took care of each one seperately.

That being said, I executed the dreaded command on this N7. Result... erase failed

Now that result just brings up more questions, although it would make sense to have fastboot not be able to erase that part or somehow build into the bootloader somekind of failsafe. Could be that 4.23 can't be erased and older versions can?
