[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chemotkbilo:
I have a feeling it is the digitizer ribbon cable has become loose of some sort. From your description of what I understand the change in hue is not constant nor permanent but occurs and shift to purple with use.

I am ruling out GPU, simply because you have stated that the colors are normal when you wake up the phone.

Use the following dial code and perform full test including display test. 3845#*800#

If that did not help, then I suggest the following

Proceed with caution and only attempt it if you have prior experience. If in doubt , follow a YouTube video accordingly.

Disassemble the phone and unplug the screen cable and look for any bent or cuts, also remove/unplug the battery and replug it back in. Assemble everything and reboot the phone.

If that did not work, I am not sure what would be the problem.

I hope someone from the forum will be able to aid you if none of the methods worked
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdcaliber:
it effects the white and black background only

thank you for your help, i have tried all your suggestions, and the issue persists. performed GPU test and it is fine, i tore it down and checked the cables, nothing out of ordinary. i unplugged the display ribbon cable and replugged it back in. i even restored the phone to stock

thank you. i have looked everywhere and asked, and no one seems to know what is wrong. the phone is usable, but the purple hue is kind of annoying. it only shows up on a black or white background, mostly on black background and intensify with use. but disappears when the phone is cold, or have just woken up for use.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdcaliber:
SOLVED

i found the culprit, and i thought i ought to post a solution despite me been the OP

i have done mainly too things, either one of them was most likely the culprit. i disassembled the device all the way down to the screen. i used hair dryer, to separate the screen from the main body. i checked the connections and i straightened any possible bent within the ribbon cable. i proceeded with separating multiple sheets at the back of the screen and cleaning them (sheets that include the reflector etc). after i have done that, i put the phone back together. Finally, ta da, the phone is screen is back to normal.

the washed out screen behavior (purple and green lines) is due to either loose connections that need to be reseated propely on the motherboard, or the multiple sheets on the back of the screen was misaligned due to the drop.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajib Askory:
my phone is doing that like you. difference is that when i wake up the phone it happens for sometime and then go away. I have also seen that lower side of lcd digitizer is not seated properly, is it a problem?. Please help me!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markoc11:
Alternative solutuion

I had the same problem but in my case, after days of fruitless forum-searching, I found that I had somehow inadvertently turned on a benign-sounding function called "Color Adjustment," (Settings >General>Accessibility>Color Adjustment.) When I turned it off, screen went back to normal. Who knew?

I got the 4.4.3 update notification and downloaded it. When it rebooted for the install, it went into TWRP recovery. Not sure what to do with that, I rebooted. Now I am still on 4.4.2 and getting the "up to date" when I check for updates.

I am rooted running stock ROM. Does being unlocked and rooted with custom recovery prevent an OTA install of updates?

Same problem!!

Exactly same has happened to me. I got the notification for update than i downloaded it, it was about 70 mb , then rebooted my device, goes to TWRP recovery than what ?? I just restarted my device and in settings its still on 4.4.2 what to do Now ????
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repoman123:
Hey all

What does TWRP stand for please?

I also got the notification to update to 4.3.3 but after downloading, when the installation began I got an error screen with the android dude lying on his back. I switched my nexus off and on again and I'm still on 4.2.2.

Now I get the same message when I check for updates.

How can I get my tablet to update again please?

My nexus is a regular unrooted tablet with the stock ROM that was installed via the previous ota update.

Many thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamid_valad:
hmmmm, sounds odd. same thing happened to me.

maybe TWRP(Team Win Recovery Project) cant handle it, or we should have updated it first. Or maybe we should have used CWM or Stock Recovery.

but the strange thing is that the tablet cannot find the update again!!

i'll try to update NRT (Nexus Root Toolkit) and see if i can update using that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatee:
Don't install it, until there's an answer in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786758 - a couple of us did install it, and we've lost root, but more importantly, recovery has been wiped, and I've been unable to reflash CWM with fastboot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrillMouster:
My wife and son got the 4.4.3 update notification on each of their 2012 Nexus 7 this morning. I told them not to install the update; I'll handle it when I get home this afternoon. My 2013 Wifi-only Nexus 7 needed to be on stock recovery in order to install the 4.4.3 OTA, so I assume the same is true for the 2012 Wifi-only Nexus 7. I'll do the same that I did for the 2013 N7:

1) restore stock recovery, 2) adb sideload the OTA or just install it from the tablet, then 3) re-install custom recovery and re-root.

Update: I installed stock recovery, then tried to download and install the update on the device, and got an "Error" message with Android on its back and an exclamation point in a red triangle. I long-pressed the power button to reboot and it's still on 4.4.2 and says it's up to date.

So, I downloaded the update to my computer and tried an adb sideload. When I did that and watched the update fail I saw the detailed error message that "/system/bin/debuggerd has unexpected contents". Probably something from an app requiring root. So, I downloaded the 4.4.2 factory image from the google developer's site, used 7zip to extract the system image file and flashed it to the device. After that I was able to adb sideload the update, then reinstalled TWRP. When I tried re-rooting using NRT, there was no SuperSU on the device, so I installed it from the Play Store and when I opened it I chose to install binaries through TWRP. When it booted into TWRP it immediately began flashing an old Titanium Backup file named "update.zip", which I did not want to happen. That screwed up a couple of apps, but nothing that couldn't easily be fixed. My lesson is to not leave any files named "update.zip" in the root directory.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamid_valad:
good jub. But if we flash stock rom again, all our data will be lost. And backing up 32gb of data and restoring them each time is a pain in the a*s. I'm tired and sick of it. So this time, i'd rather not install the update, than having to reinstall all my apps and reconfigure them and copy files back and ....

So... To hell with 4.4.3 this time if it wont work properly.

But there is something in my mind.

Guys, how many of you have stickmount installed?

I remember an error coused by it. Maybe it is the reason the update failed...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrillMouster:
Flashing stock recovery.img and stock system.img does not wipe all my data. Everything was still there: all my media, files, apps, and app data.

I think you're right about the Stickmount app. I did have it on my son's tablet, and I had to flash system. Last night I updated my wife's tablet. She did not have Stickmount, so the OTA installed without me having to flash system. Just to be safe I did flash stock recovery first. I put TWRP back on and re-rooted after the OTA.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MidnightDevil:
Hi,

So, I'm one of the 'few' users which the USB connector on my nexus became loose to the point where doesn't charge anymore. One of the connectors inside broke (shorter then the others), I tried to fix another connector (successfully) but I can't do much about the broken one.

With this I'm left with 3 alternatives.

Send to RMA, logical, but would take at least two months since I'd have to send it to UK (was bought there) and I don't wanna be that long without it.

Order a USB connector and mount it myself. I'm actually considering this... But moving on...

Order a wireless charger, this seems the most fast option to get it charging. Now choosing this option leaves me with some questions. Considering that the official wireless charger is way more expensive than those QI ones, I checked the specifications and seems like the mA/output between QI chargers and official wireless is the same, so, do they take the same amount of time charging? Will I have any issues with another brand (considering it should work on nexus) ? Any big pratical differences between official / other brands if the technical specifications are the same?

Someone care to shed a light on this matter?

Thank you so much in advance :)

I updated to the new firmware today (via notification), and now my camera doesn't work at all. Snapchat also crashes when trying to use the camera (so not necessarily the camera app).

In the camera app, a half-press on the camera button is recognized, but there is no focus beep, and tapping on the screen doesn't focus. When I try to take a picture, the app freezes.

Is there any fix, or possibly to revert back to the previous firmware?

Weird tho that if I double tap my homescreen, it brings up the Apex launcher menu fine. Notification drawrr is also picky when i try to slide it open among a few other things ive been noticing.

Howdy y'all. I bricked my old G2 D800, I don't want a repeat with the new one. I tried doing all the research I could. I have a new D800, 10d, 4.4.2. I want CM11, tried reading the threads on that and custom recovery. I just need a little help to make sure I have the order of operations down pat before I crash another. I've rooted and flashed ROMs before, but not with th locked boot loader and security AT&T has.

Please just correct me if I'm wrong. Through the threads I have read I believe this is what I am to do.

1.) Flash my 4.4.2 back to 4.2.2 using LG FT

2.) Root using IO23

3.) Download Flashify & install TWRP 2.7.7 with Loki

4.) Follow steps to install CM 10.2

5.) Follow steps to install CM 11

Of course make backup once 4.2.2 plus root and TWRP is achieved before trying CM. I just want CM like I've had on previous phones. Thanks in advance.

All is good back to being ROM junkie. Anyone who does read and wishes to flash custom roms and get custom recovery on KK. Obtain root via IOroot25, then use AutoRec Recovery Installer for TWRP recovery.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mandayugana:
Hi,

My Lumia 900 only charges if I plug in the cable with force and I keep pushing it. :eek: I tried other cable and mobile charger, but no luck. Anyone experience this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] Airbrushed:
If you have tried multiple cables, it sounds, unfortunately, that it might be the Lumia 900's connector.

If you can shine a bright light into the connector (my eyesight would require me to use a magnifying glass now) just to check that there are no foreign objects like pocket lint; that might find something. While I had not had this happen to my Lumia 900, it had happened several years ago with my iPhone.

Otherwise, the connector might be loose from the main board, especially if the phone had ever taken a tumble while it was plugged in. Hopefully, it would be the former and not the latter.
[Nokia Lumia 900] mandayugana:
I disassembled my Lumia 900 today. The port connection to the board seemed okay, but the body of the port which is made of plastics was cracked. It's all make sense why the phone charges only if I forcefully push the cable into the port.

So... I glued the cracked area of the port super glue then pressed it using a small clamp. After several minutes, the glue hardened. Done. I reassembled my phone and tested it. It worked. :)

I know this is not permanent solution and I don't know how long it will last. But, this is a workaround for user who doesn't have good technical skills of soldering like me.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
Like clsA said, just re-flash the rom, you will have to wipe everything, possibly your internal storage too as if I remember right, Venom Rom stores the settings there, I know for sure it stores themes and mods there, this will leave your phone completely empty apart from Bootloader and Recovery, you will then have to push the ROM to your internal storage and flash it.

Place the rom in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, put the phone in recovery (main screen only), plug into the PC and open a command window in your fastboot/adb folder and type adb push (rom name).zip /sdcard/

Then flash it.

There isn't one. They're all essentially the same save for minor differences Samsung makes for different carriers (in particular the modem).

Where you see differences is moving from GB->>>ICS->>>JB, so, logic says JB firmwares are probably better so far as improvements to kernel, memory management, etc goes. Having said that, plenty of people have a preference for ICS & even GB stock roms.

So...The only way you're going to find out is to try some of each.

Edit - They're all 'stable'. Carriers wouldn't release them to their customers if they weren't.

Just got a "factory refurbished" Kindle Fire 8.9 HD for a STEAL (Amazon gave $50 back on the refurb).

Anyway, now that I have it and have been playing with it for a few weeks, I've realized that the current root methods (including Root Many Android) say they have rooted it, but I don't quite have all the SU access. Digging deeper, I've found that I have System Version 8.4.9.
