[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newonmars:
Hey, my LG g2 had water damage but happily worked after two weeks in the rice, now the only thing that's not working, (the rest works perfectly fine, even the battery) is the sim card reader, because the phone keeps telling me service disabled, I've tried several working simcards but it just doesn't work. Is this a broken simreader or a software error, and if its a broken simreader, would it be possible for my local phone repair shop to fix that?

Thanks in advance!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roobns:
Most likely it's a hardware erro due to an electrical short caused by the water. If it worked fine before, then it is. You can always flash to stock to be sure. But my guess is harware damage.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newonmars:
It was purchased from a store, and it was simlock free. LG Gd8022b btw (d802)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Ahh but i think the same as roobns

I also think Its possible to replace the simcard reader in your local shop, just go by and ask it first.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newonmars:
I did and they denied it because they said it might die because they could damage the printplate on the motherboard or something because of the water damage it had. other advise?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Yeah I actually also wanted to type that about that theycould maybe damage it and water isnt the best helper with electronics but yeah, Maybe they could replace the whole part with the simcard reader?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newonmars:
Is that even possible?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Now you are saying it, I googled it and its sadly mounted on the motherboard if i am right :crying: so they probably gotta replace your whole motherboard but that also contains storage,imei etc so idk or its possible:crying:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e_silesian:
Hello everyone, my first post :cowboy:

My phone have similar malfunction but there was no water inside. The question is how your phone behaves? I mean that in my one every single function responsible for network is inactive (I cannot turn on data transmission whether chose preferred network mode). All those buttons are just inactive. I moved back to stock rom but same happens. How about yours?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinizariel:
I have the same intermittent problem. I took my G2 to the LG technical assistance and the diagnostic was a problem in the motherboard that would cost the price of a new smartphone.

In the youtube i found a solution, but I dont have the skill and the tools to do it.

In case you want to try: watch?v=AcdvkrtaLW0
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e_silesian:
Thanks but I have found that way of trying to repair it already... Now I have noticed that my G2 is loosing IMEI number... (ther is null). During another going back to stock rom I have found it out. For a while it was working but it stopped after a reset. Now I am struggling with solution:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701861

but stucked at step 5. I have MTP connection but QPST does not see my device. I tried all connections modes, some ports appears but QPST functions does not work (I suppose it needs to be MTP connection). I have also tried to solve my "sted 5 problem" as it is done here:

https://youtu.be/y2lHFy7AciE?t=413

But still QPST does not see phone on that port.

My question is that IMEI problem is caused by software or hardware? Is that possible that hardware issue can make it happens? I ask becasue I will try to correct soldering pads on that chip as newonmars says but this is the very last thing that I want to try.

EDIT:

After all software tries it does not bring any result. At the end I tried to work with hotair as it is in dinizariel link and it works perfectly. Thanks!

I have some trouble transferring big files ~2GB+ from my SD card to my computer using a USB cable. I'm using BFQ or CFQ scheduler, don't remember exactly what one right now..

Transfer just freeze completely for like 20 seconds over and over again until it's done.. Take so much time and it's really annoying.

I think this have to do with a bad I/O scheduler, anyone know anything about this?

What is recommended for my activities? I don't want any freezing, some jumpy speeds is okay as long as things don't freeze up.

I don't have time to test like 20 schedulers that’s why I ask for help, mod please don't remove this thread. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A-Sweaty-Wombat:
Hello,

Does anyone know how I can use Tasker to automatically set the performance profile setting to performance mode when something occurs? At the moment I have the CPU governor set so that it changes to performance when an app is opened and power saving when it is off. This however is not enough because even though the CPU governor is set to power saving the performance profile is still on balanced so it's not actually doing much. And yes, if I manually change it to power saving, it is immediately obvious with the difference in performance.

I want to be able to use Tasker to set the performance profile to power saving when the screen is off for example, and then performance for an app or something. Every time I reboot it goes back to balanced and thee seems to be no clear way of setting it automatically. And to be honest, I can't be bothered setting it manually if I'm honest... It needs changing so much it's just not worth changing it manually.

Please note: This IS different to the profiles option on CM11.

Many thanks,

Adam.

Hello, sorry to bother you.

I bought a new Samsung galaxy camera, EK-GC100 eight months ago and I've used it a few times. Yesterday when i wanted to use it started failing to connect to the WIFI and after 10minutes it automatically shuts-down and restart. I tried system restore but i don't see any changes.

Please help me, i don't know what to do.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:
Could you provide more information? like your Rom build , which country , battery status?

Since you have not used it for long time there might be a battery problem take out the battery and put it on a flat surface and then spin the battery if it starts to spin perhaps the battery got problems. (Means the battery surface on either side is not flat any more.)

Device status: Official

I hope this helps, thank you for replying.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:
Seems that everything is ok and your device also has stock rom and updated to latest Rom . There are security problems with wifi like failiure on getting ip address specially for samsung devices but how your wifi connection is calling for a shutdown is so weird.

at the moment I think the only way is to test with different wifi routers and see if still shut down the device , if that happens then there would be a problem with your device.

Hey all,

I am trying to convert my phone to the GPE (using a guide from wonderhowto). I have done this before, but unfortunately I have had to send my phone back twice for unrelated repairs, so I am now using a new phone.

I stuck Maximus ROM on the phone, but decided I wanted vanilla android for a bit, when I followed the guide I got stuck at the writecid step, I get the following error message:

I have not been able to move past this step now, and I've struggled to find any posts anywhere detailing a way around this error.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Reuters:
I have a HTC One M8 sprint that i bought on Ebay, i have no problem to make and receive calls after i unlocked it but there is no mobile internet.

My APN Settings is correct, however i only have the option of bearer: LTE or eHRPD or Unspecified

When i search for networks on my normal phone i always get two options:

Movistar 2G

Movistar 3G

Vodafone 2G

Vodafone 3G

and the other networks here.

On the HTC that i sim unlocked i only get:

Movistar

Vodafone

Orange

There is no indication on if it is 2G or 3G.

*#*#4636#*#*

Have set it at GSM Auto PRL and restarted the phone, i have also tried all other network types without success.

Under Phone Info i get Current Network Movistar

GPRS Disconnected (Cant seem to activate that)

GSM: In Service

Network Type: Unknown

I have tried different radios, but no one has worked and they all end up with the phone entering a loop where it restarts and cant recognice the SIM card.

Mobile Network Settings:

Network mode: GSM/UMTS Only

Allow GSM Data: Ticked the box

Is there anyone who has been in the same situation and who has found a solution?

I have seen a number of posts where people say that they cant get data but calls is working, but the only resolution that people has offered is to set the GSM Auto PRL and restart the phone, that has not worked for me.

Very happy for any help that you can give!

Thanks

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cashreedhar:
Use QPST tool and allow all 3G networks to work. It unlocks all 3G networks. You are not getting UMTS signal because Sprint by default has unlocked only US 3G band (I think 1800). Hence, you need to unlock all 3G networks

Hi all,

I have a perfectly functioning phone but due to all the Android L hype I tried messing with some different settings and installing some features to customize my phone a little more.

Now after I had added some settings in Gravity Box to alter the lockscreen to stock AOSP lockscreen it force closes everytime I try to interact with it and that means I can't unlock my phone. I was wondering if there was some way to fix this problem?

I know how to use ADB if there is some commands I could use to uninstall Gravity Box or alike..

You will have to find the source for the specific governor type, then you will have to add it to your kernel source, then compile it. I'm not a kernel dev but this is probably the approach to it. There are plenty of tutorials that should help you.

[Samsung Gear Live] Androidious:
Do you happen to have a MS Exchange account logged onto your phone? If so, and I bet you do, that is what causes the issue. Something happens on the MS exchange server once per week (for me it's every Fri morning) that causes the Wear app to crash constantly. To test this, go into your accounts and remove your MS Exchange Activesync account and poof your wear app will function normally again. Otherwise just wait until the late morning and whatever happens will finish and wear will work normally again (with exchange logged in) until the same time next week ?

FYI, no amount of clearing cache or data or uninstalling will remedy this until either the exchange process is complete or you remove the exchange account temporarily.
[Samsung Gear Live] Haychy:
Thank you this fixed it! Do we know what causes this? I would love to keep my exchange email.
[Samsung Gear Live] Androidious:
I have no idea what causes this and I'm not the one who figured it out. There was one guy who figured this out. Since noticing this and confirming it I've emailed google and called them, etc, but they haven't returned NY emails yet. It will eventually go away usually the same day. You just have to put up with it for a few hours each week if you want to continue using your exchange on the phone. Then after the few hrs it ends up working fine again. That's what I do :)

Hi!

Just sharing experience:

Started filling up internal memory with pics and vids. For a while I kept deleting some unnecessary stuff just to stay afloat. Having maybe 0.5 GB free space.

But the other night I bit the bullet and moved a lot of media from the phone to my Nas. So I got over 10 GB available on internal.

Right away I noticed a big improvement on performance and smoothness on my M7.

Also: battery seems to last longer.

So from now on I'll keep better watch over my memory usage and try to keep a couple of GBs free.

[One (M7) General] mike-y:
I wonder if it has something to do with the media scanner process, and having less media for it to scan.
[One (M7) General] mwatson:
must be.. Surely this would also cause issues for media stored on an external SD also?
[One (M7) General] mike-y:
yes.. especially if you had a corrupt image or music file which could cause the process to get stuck.

some custom roms add an init.d script to kill the media server to keep this from happening.

Hello dear users of DN3 ROM. I have been using this ROM in my mobile for the last 1 week. It is indeed a great ROM. And I would surely thank the developers for that. I have 3 queries. Please help me out

1. How can we get Dolby Digital sound effect in this ROM like some AOSP Roms are providing. Is there any way? If there please give some instructions to do that.

2. Secondly sometimes this ROM seems to get sluggish and laggy. Might be it is due to many S5 apps pre installed in it. Is there any way that we can delete or uninstall any app and service we like according to our wish. I think uninstalling many unrequired apps can surely boost up the speed of the ROM.

3. Thirdly, I like the walk man app very much. Can we get it in DN3 ROM.

Please help me out. I will be really grateful.

To put the stock rom back on lenovo device, it must be powered off. (if it has a removable battery it must be removed).

preinstal the drivers into pc/laptop.

open device manager

plug in lenovo.

if device manager says 'mediatek,,,,' you are a winner & can use the sp flash tool included in the zipped rom to instal the rom.

if device manager says 'unknown device' you have 2 seconds to click on it & select update driver and a point to the downloaded lenovo driver (then it will be as above).

When you get green circle you are complete and may disconnect and put battery back in.
