[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adizz4:
The phone doesn't detect the sim, it was cut by me. Used to be a normal sim, works on other phones but not on this one. I believe its supposed to click when it goes in but that doesnt happen ofc.

I was wondering if there was anyway to get this sim to work.

TIA.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajeetone:
Please contact service provider they will issue microsim @ cheap price, don't put pressure might be your sim slot will break
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landrea:
You may have cutted out part of the chip, could you post a picture of the sim (chip side)?

Yes, it's supposed to click.

Best thing would be asking your carrier to replace it with an actual microsim :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adizz4:
Oops.... Double post... Sry
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landrea:
Well it actually doesn't seem well cut...

I'd suggest to trim it and try again before going to the carrier's shop!

Hi Guys,

This is my first post on XDA, I have a problem with my Z1, recently I remove ASF protector from my phone, now my phone seem too sensitive, when I touch my phone with my hands thats slightly wet, either from sweat or water (yes, my hands sweaty, and very often) screen like register my previous touch and screw my touch.

Is this hardware failure? can I claim warranty? or this is is common on the ASF removed phone.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
You removed the ASF then you warranty is void and you cannot claim for it. Now the solution on your problem is just only one, Apply a Classic Screen Protector.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
Well regardless of the cause or whether this is a defect, you voided your warranty the second you took off the ASF. (At least that has been what has been very commonly reported on xda since day 1.... I've never asked Sony myself)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyongrand:
OK, so i guest this is not hardware related, thanks everyone
[General Questions and Answers] passinhoo:
Hi, there is the problem.

The loud speaker stop working while I was calling. Mobile phone doesn't make any sound. If I use headphones, its ok. So I think the speaker is damaged. Can anyone tell me where I can get new speaker for replacement? Or could it be different problem? Thx. P.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retalger:
so, i loaded cwm recovery rom. I do not know if i replaced my stock recovery rom. then i flashed cyanogenmod. all seems good, but i have a question. when i boot into recovery now (via three finger salute), what should or do i want to see? stock recovery, cwm recovery, or cyanogenmod? thanks in advance for the help.

if im not seeing the correct recovery rom i want/should to see, i will have a follow up question on fixing the issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I assume the three finger salute is some form of button combo for entering recovery on your device?

All devices differ but if you flashed a custom recovery and then flashed a ROM within there and it booted I would assume all is fine.

A good test would be

adb reboot recovery

And this should boot to your recovery partition which should have been altered into clockwork recovery

But the caveat is that not all devices are alike, sometimes there can be a file present that overwrites a custom recovery upon reboot so you would be back to stock recovery, if this is the case you need to find that file and remove it. But check with your device specific forum for an exact answer

Also it is possible to simply boot a recovery, not flash it. When booting a recovery it will look and act as if in this custom recovery, you can make backups and flash ROMs etc, but upon reboot it will revert back to what was there previously. If this is your case I can't say as I would need to know your device and the method used to flash the custom recovery.

Best advice is to give all information you can think of about your device and/or ask your question in your devices forum
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retalger:
gotcha. thanks. would do i want for my recovery rom if im using a custom rom?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Not to sure what your are asking, what recovery do I recommend when using a custom ROM? Personally I would say a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm should always be used but this is a personal choice
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retalger:
i understand. thank you. thats just the feedback i was looking for. im a newbie.

Phone connections work fine, but I can't get a GPRS connection going. When it tries to connect (ie when I do a send/receive in email), I immediately get a popup that says:

Cannot Connect

Dialed: wap.voicestream.com

The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings[...]

Two 'links': one to settings, one 'dismiss' button.

My settings haven't changed. Even if they had, what should I look for? They are super-generic settings- modem is "Cellular Line (GPRS)", obviously the AP is wap.voicestream.com. Username/password/domain are empty.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] modem_man:
Try calling t-mobile and have them reset your internet connections and see if that helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JoninLA:
I'd agree, the connection settings you quote are correct so it sounds like an account issue
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tedder:
that did it. they had me turn the phone off, they detached me from the tower, then I turned the phone back on.

"reset the tower" or something like that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] modem_man:
Glad that helped.

I've had to call in to reset my connection numerous times.

Especially when I'm travelling between towns while being online (for my messenger and streaming audio).

Not sure if it's an issue with my Exec or T-Mobile.

So if you're getting connected to a tower (or not) and you're not receiving any data....then call them and have them reset it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tedder:
Travelling- hmm, that probably explains it. I was using it a couple hundred miles away and having a little trouble, then I came home and started having a lot of trouble.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stream13:
Hi,

I'm a new member here.

8 months ago, I purchased two "Samkimoke T710 LA-I" Android phones. It has Spreadtrum SC6820, Mail 300 GPU, 256 MB RAM, MTK6517, Camera (idk spec needed for driver? I guess).

(I know the above from an App I installed in another T710 mobile.)

The OS was said to be "4.0.2" in 'About Device', i personally think it's Android GingerBread though.

Today, I got a miss call, and after that I just pushed the Power button (to turn the display off), it did so. Now the thing does NOT start, no display while charging.

I've googled a LOT, I tried other batteries, connected mobile to USB and then inserted battery, as was said online, nothing came, I also tried Volume buttons + Power button, and also charge to Power Outlet trick. Nothing worked.

After that I went to a local repair shop, after checking it he said the phone does boot, but is not starting (i think he was referring to it's ROM), he said "he would try to re-install a software", from what I understood, he wanted to flash it or something.

So the questions are:

1. Was my phone "dead" or "hard brick" with OUT any problem/s (just out of nowhere) ?

2. Can i flash it (or even any "hard brick" Android device) myself, and expect it to work? If yes, how?

3. Where can i find a custom ROM this manufacturer used (or it's alternative)? What tool should i use to Flash?

(i guess, personally, driver issue will arise in these cases) I checked the Samkimoke DOT com website, their service is available in China only, and NO Email given for me to ask question about their custom ROM)

Thank you ...

(You can say I'm too greedy to forget that .. i can't throw a device that was working in the morning, and that's just 8 months old :( )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stream13:
What's happening here?

I left it for the shop to flash (I've never flashed an Android before), and also since it's Chinese Android - I was unsure of the ROM. So he said he tried to flash it (or flashed it) but it still isn't booting!

Back home, I pressed the Power Button, and I noticed this.

http:\\i.share.pho.to/e7653bef_o.png

1. Before Pressing Power Button

2. After Pressing Power Button (the display starts, as if trying to display something)

3. The display fading away (back to off state -- state 1)

4. Back to State 1

All this happens within a second. Is the phone trying to launch the ROM and not finding it or something? Does the above mean it's not the Hardware issue?

I downloaded the MTK Droid Tool and it does NOT show any info, it doesn't detect it at all.

What should I do in such cases?

Thanks ....

Umm.. Am I posting this in the wrong forum section or something?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
i don't think this is your fault, its just the faulty Chinese firmware is terribly developed and half of the time this happens to all Chinese phones. they decide not to work anymore or the usb drivers decide to not like your computer anymore. if there is not life from the device (no boot, no recovery) then its hard bricked. the only why you could fix it is using a jtag and finding the firmware online for your specific device and using that to write the Firmware back onto your device. but that can cost lots of moola $.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |>/\nte:
Sounds like a hard brick to me, too. Since you didn't "tweak" the phone in any way, it's not your fault. You can do only 2 things: either go to another service shop and ask for repair, or find a toolkit and the necessary firmware files to flash it on your own. From what you're describing, it seems like the firmware is all messed up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stream13:
Okay, thank you .. and I didn't tweak it, it just simply stopped working.

Where can I find/buy this thing called jtag? Or is it simply the same thing as "jig"? If not, How much would it cost?

Since I bought two of them, I have another T710 mobile (same manufacturer) working with me. I'm kinda scared for it too, should I use CWM or something and back it up right now?

Back to the topic, the working mobile has MTK6515 (as opposed to MTK6517 that the damaged one has), can I still backup/extract the image of one to use in the damaged Android phone?

Thank you ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stream13:
So, i was inserting and ejecting this device back and forth, and this time, the device decided to show up in the Device Manager, At 1st, it showed up in the Other Devices, then under the "USB Controllers" as "Unknown Device":

http:\\i.share.pho.to/80f316eb_o.png

It was still not showing up in the MTK Droid Tools, although i had installed already MTK65xx drivers. Then i installed the SpreadTrum Phone Driver, and after connecting the device, i pressed Power + Volume [+] button, and it showed up under USB Controllers as "SPRD COM Enumerator".

http:\\i.share.pho.to/3001fb77_o.png

At first, it said "The device is working properly":

http:\\i.share.pho.to/1ad975d3_o.png

And then it refreshed again and said "The device cannot start":

http:\\i.share.pho.to/dd9ee409_o.png

So this means my phone is SpreadTrum phone so maybe that's why it did not show up in MTK Droid Tools?

Which Programs are available to backup and flash Spreadtrum phones?

Thank you. .....

EDIT: I pressed the Power button in my other t710 phone, and it also does the same blinking as the damaged one does. So that means the phone was, i guess, testing if it's "on" and should display or something, and since it has no contents or has, as a member pointed out, a damaged firmware, it's not working properly..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
a Usb jig and a JTag/Riff box are a little different. usb jigs are used for only samsung to force the device into download mode, otherwise known as a easy way to get into download mode. the Jtag and riff box's attach pins to Certain parts of a phone or another device and it Write firmware onto that device since its corrupt or does not want to turn on. these can cost up from $100-200, i would just get another phone my friend :(.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stream13:
So, although it shows under Device Manager, I'm already screwed with this device? Can I not flash it by using a Computer?

Thank you ..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
Nope, from what i understand when a device is hard bricked or you have nothing showing, the OS is corrupt and that means the USB drivers are Screwed up so it wont recognize your device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stream13:
Hmm ... I have flashed it a couple of times, and it's not starting because I don't have the right ROM :( It gives the usual short vibration when I press power button to start it. The screen is not displaying anything, as expected. and there is no light.

The device is SpreadTrum and the screen size is 4.3 inch, the roms I downloaded either seem to be that for 3.5 inch or 5 inch :(

1. Is there something like Custom Barebone ROM which will "work on any device"? OR at least compatible ROM?

[ I purchased the phone for 5860, "repairing" it will cost me 1500 :( So I'm trying to not go to the repair shop. ]

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

2. I rooted my working phone with vroot, and used adb to backup the images, the total size is 309 MB, trying to flash it in my device, it's giving me "Failed: Download size is over it's partition" error or "Failed: Operation Failed" error.

Regardless of which FDL.bin file I use, my PAC always gives errors. And those that I download from the web flash fine.

(I'm using ResearchDownload -> Packet option, it makes the PAC file, but the flashing process always results in errors.)

Is there some proper Guide to make the PAC file?

Thanks ...

milaq thanks for excellent work....

Can you add reboot recovery options in Ouya Failsafe menu to get the full recovery menu?

The power button(for choices) works only if ouya connected-hdmi to hdmi

If Ouya connected hdmi to dvi(Pc monitor) the power button does not respond!

So to go into recovery mode, you can use alt + printScn (SysRq) + i (if keyboard connected)

But now the Ouya goes into a Failsafe menu.
[Ouya Android Development] milaq:
version bump again

i suspect that you have too many input devices connected during boot.

in version <=2.0.2 the maximum number of input devices that are recognised in the bootmenu was 3.

in case you have a keyboard (usually takes up 2 input nodes) and a mouse connected, the ouya power button (also an input device) was at the end of the list thus not taken into account.

i raised the number of recognised input devices to 5 in version 2.0.3 (see first post for download). that should allow most setups to work fine.

in case you still can't use the power button to select just briefly disconnect your usb devices at boot and reconnect them after making your choice in the bootmenu.
[Ouya Android Development] krest:
Yes, you're right....

Now it's working perfectly

In any case, it would be great if you added the reboot recovery options in Ouya Failsafe menu.
