[LG Optimus G Pro] mr_php:
Hello, everybody.

I would like to ask you my first question on this forum, regarding my LG Optimus G Pro E988. My wife been using it within a year or so, and she didn't find any trouble with it. Until a week ago, she said to me that the phone keep restarting itself, three times. Then I tried to solve it with cable power attached, problem solved. I don't know why. I think it's not the battery, because it's charging normally while attached. But when the cable power is not connected, the phone keep boot-looping.

I tried to factory reset (hard reset) with combination keys, the problem remain unsolved.

I tried to flash the phone to stock ROM with flash tool provided in this site (the OP seems reliable). Note that the device isn't rooted. The result are:

When cable power connected, phone will boot up perfectly, but a few clicks later it turn off (without shutdown animation)

When USB cable connected, sometimes phone will behave exactly same with first condition, but sometime it's enter boot loop

When no cable connected, phone doesn't even finish boot animation, it shutdown in the way of it.

I just wanna know, what problem that i'm facing? Hardware or software?

If the hardware, what is it? Is it worth to replace?

If the software, what should I try to fix?

I'm here waiting answer. Thanks a lot for your help.

Note. I'm already try these:

Hard Reset

Flash with stock KDZ

Wipe partition with a script provided in this forum (in recovery mode)

Hi, a friend of mine recently bought a S4 but occasionally it'll take pictures with black and white lines. The phone is on stock rom unrooted. Is this a common problem and is there a fix for this? Help much appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juventus1897:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juventus1897:
So no one has had this issue before?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrey268:
Never had this problem but it looks like a defective cmos sensor or a bad connection of the camera module on the motherboard.

You should send it in for repair or try to repair it yourself.

On eBay the module go fore like 20$.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juventus1897:
Thanks for the reply. I've read somewhere that it could be caused by corrupt jpeg when pictures are taken and it's a software problem.

Took me a while to find it last night (I'm at work now so unable to do anything till I get home this evening)..However I have the 1.24 trial software downloaded.

If I can't find the link then I can try to post the software on here (If I'm allowed AND when I find out how to do it!).

To get Caller ID working on my XDA Exec (UNIVERSAL)

USERS PERFORM THIS AT THEIR OWN RISK (IT WORKED FOR ME) BUT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU....

I am running Helmi 3.5 AKU ROM with Radio 1.14 on an O2 XDA EXEC

1.remove any previous of Jetware.

2.Install SDKCERTS.cab

3.Install Jetware 1.24 build

4.Run NOKIA HS-12W.JCF on your device via your storage card...It will be recognised as a Jetware settings update and then run it to update settings.

5.I then Soft Reset my device...

6. Enabled CallerID in the jetware software

7. Applied registry HACK (Do a forum search) to be able to change my contact to FIRSTNAME LASTNAME i.e with NO COMMA

and voila...It worked for me....

I'll try to POST the link when I get home.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] kaisersosey:
Sorry guys...Im searching for the Jetware 1.24 build link but cannot find it..

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] kaisersosey:
Cool Thanks.... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] User79:
Kaisersosey: Can you explain what else the HS-12w can make for us Universal users? E. g. can you operate the media player and listen audio files and see the tarck name, file name, id3 tag, etc., can you browse the folders from HS-12w.

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] JLCor:
The only thing that HS-12W (with jetware) can do is to show thw caller ID. No track name, clock, text, etc...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] User79:
Does this mean that it is not possible at all to remotely operate the media player on the Universal? Or just the display of the HS-12W does not show the status of the player?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] JLCor:
You can, without any problem, remotely operate the media player. Pause, next track, previous track, etc...You simply not have acess, in the display, to the track list or the track name, or, even, time...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] kchris:
why? with nokia phones it does work... of course jetware had to support this, but it could work...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] gusy:
Sorry,

Where is the registry hack (point 7)? What is this hack?

Thanks

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfasub:
Hi everyone, i have huge problem with ma Xperia. I bought it and it is not working.

When I wanted to power up it first time, nothing happened. Then i plugged to charger, and nothing.

Then i plugged USB to PC and it,s started. There was Android 2.3 i think, but the touchscreen didn't worked.

After unplug Xpera stuck at sony ericcson logo

Then i plugged usb with search button - uknown device, then with back - same thing unknown device.

The I removed battery, then insert it back and nothing happened with charger, usb, withou any cable - still nothing

Red light is flashing 3 times.

Whats the problem?

And can I run games without touchscreen?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raminta:
maybe the problem is your battery

and yes you can play games without touch but not all games just xperia play optimized games
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfasub:
Is it possible, because as i said it works for short time without any cable, but stuck on SE logo.

I know i can play without touch, wrong question - my bad.

Can I run game, walking in menu without touch, using pad buttons?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Try to flash stock firmware with flashtool . Make sure you have drivers installed (from flashtool folder). If you have drivers installed but it still not recognized by flashtool, look in device manager and see what is written under "unknown device".

Phone can be used without touch screen (my Play had broken flex slider cable for more then a month). Navigation in launcher is with dpad, X is confirm, O is back. There is app in play store called "open notification" that I used to see notification, also, app "hard key soft keyboard" to type with dpads.

To be able to answer call, I used xposed framework for GB, with plugin to change home or search key for answering calls

As for games, it is per game. PSXperia games don't need touch screen (and I was playing mostly that while my touch screen was broken)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfasub:
Generally, Flashtool doesn't see my phone but there is one weird thing with that i think, i will write that later when, i will back home.

My device is always Unknown Device for Windows. With battery, without it, with back key, search key. Always Unknown device, and red light blinking continously.

And what do you mean "look in device manager and see what is written under "unknown device"."?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
On PC, right-click on "my computer" and select "manage". Then on on left side select "device manager". Unknown devices is marked with yellow icon with exclamation mark.

For drivers, look in c:/flashtool/drivers folder (or whatever path you have it installed).

Red led is most likely empty battery, but too much reasons for that without proper troubleshooting (bad charger, bad USB cable, bad battery, bad charging circuit on battery, bad charging circuit in phone, damaged USB port or even short-circuit on motherboard). But it could also means damaged boot loader, and that's why I asked what is written in "unknown device" (it will be something like QHSUSB-something)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kks111:
hi

if it is detected in testpoint .... zeus device or qhusb in device manager .... contact me on gtalk muskanjainxx@gmail.com
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfasub:
There is some progress i think, and maybe degress(?) . I left phone with charger for all night. At the morning for my surprise there is green light. I tried power on, and its work. Almost. Touchscreen is didn't working. But thats nothing. When I unplugged from charger it switch off. Now I can power on it with charger or USB Cable, but without it it's stack on SE logo.

I was think thats battery issue, but it isn't. I pluuged phone directly to USB 5V(Red- "+", Black - "-") without battery of course. Same thing, stack on SE logo.

What can I do next? Can I do anything with that?

EDIT I tried flash stock rom via Flashtool, and nothing. Flashmode and fastboot are working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] murkywaters:
Hi!

I was hoping someone could help me determine if my phone is irreversibly damaged. I had it rooted with the stock rom and tonight it turned off once the battery died and won't respond to being plugged in. if i pull the battery and put it back in while it is not plugged in, the white screen flashes SAMSUNG in white letters briefly then turns off. It also turns off right away once i try to boot into recovery. the screen shows the android logo and the option to hit volume up or down like always but then immediately shuts off. Any help would be appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
It's not bricked, sounds like your battery took a dump. Take it into Sprint and have them replace the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] murkywaters:
update: i took it into sprint and either the guy played dumb because i was playing dumb but there's no way he didn't notice it wasn't rooted. new free replacement on the way just the same!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Some sprint workers don't care if its rooted. And its not against the policy. But its in the hands of the person attending you. If they say no you can't replace it. Walk out and go to another store :)

Hi.

I need help.

In 2012 I bought a Sony Xperia U st25i, and as you know officially can't update it to Android KitKat.

So I read a lot of forums and one point I stuck, I can't get to fastboot mode.

I rooted it, got Superuser on it, got clockworkmod etc. I've tried everything, but I can't get to fastboot mode.

Is there a solution to unlock it, if it says; Bootloader unlock allowed: NO?

Thanks for your help.

PS: sorry if my english is wrong

If you have locked bootloader (and you have) you can get only room based on your kernel. So sorry but forget about KitKat and everything more than your stock (4.0.3).

[General Questions and Answers] ishaang:
Hi everyone

Looking for suggestions for an instant messaging app which has the following features, in order of priority:

- Invite basis adding of contacts (not add all contacts through phonebook like Whatsapp but through username or pin like BBM)

- Voice calling

- Simultaneous multi platform support - Android and PC (so you can message from anywhere like Telegram or Viber)

- Ability to send pictures but preferably any file

- Video calling

I've not been able to find one which does all of this. I'm open to using my own server too if that is an option. Skype has all of these features actually and was the closest, but it never works its strange.

Thanks!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
Every so often, very occasionally, I get a flicker of the whole screen that looks kinda like static on an old TV but with loads of colours. It only happens for a fraction of a second.

It actually used to happen on my Nexus 5 when I had an experimental build of CM on it but that was much more pronounced and sometimes would happen and stay until a reboot. The fact it was fixed by switching rom on that phone suggests it's not hardware issue as such but my Z3 is totally stock so I wouldn't expect it.

Anyone else seen anything similar?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorewe:
I have got this as well.

The first few hours they where frequent but after a couple of charges it seems less frequent.

Hopefully sony will fix this in later releases.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eX1337:
Same for me.

I think its an hardware error because i had it on my Z too - changing the phone solved it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
I'm not so sure. I had the exact same behaviour on the Nexus 5 and changing rom completely solved it.

Perhaps it's a combination of hardware and software
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasil:
same issue

Hi guys, i bought the phone yesterday on O2 Germany, and i have the same problem of this flickering screen looks like an old Tv without an signal it happens totaly random yesterday for 3 or 4 times in 2-3 hours, and i dont know if it better to wait for an update or is it better to refund ? :mad:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
Well I spoke to Sony yesterday who told me to do a full reset through PC Companion (they make you try that for just about any fault!). It made no difference of course so this morning I spoke to them again and they said it does sound like a hardware fault so I'll need to RMA it. 5-7 working day turnaround through Sony but I rang Amazon (from whom I bought it) and they are sending a new one out expedited so it should be here Monday!

I then have 30 days to return this one so zero downtime! I'm very pleased.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
I'm seeing the same issue. I'm guessing by your experience, I should RMA my device too, but I'm going to try a reset using PC Companion first. The static looks a lot like this.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
Yeah, that is what mine is like. It actually got worse over the weekend too so I am definitely leaning towards a hardware fault, probably a loose connection.

Get it returned. Bit of a pain but the service is pretty good. 5 working days is not bad from Sony, and that's if you can't get a better service from your retailer like I did with Amazon.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_h:
I had the same thing, it was doing the static up the screen thing every couple of seconds so I took it back to three and they replaced it on the spot.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
New one from Amazon arrived today (as promised, well done Amazon UK) and it's not doing it at all. Good result.

Z3 Dual screen flickers

Z3 Dual Owner here, just 4 days old. Tried repair using sony companion but still no good result. At first it was barely noticeable then it became more obvious as it randomly flickers or displays grainy shades. Grains more often appears on Camera and gaming Apps, I previously owned Sony Xperia Z and Sony Xperia Z2 with same usage and apps luckily never had the same issue.

I've got the same issue too, reflashing with pc companion did not solved...still occured.

If any solution to solve this issue is very appreciated. Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
Sorry to say it but the only solution is get it replaced. It's a hardware fault. Sony should cover it under warranty, no problem, but it might be quicker to go through your retailer as per my earlier post.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Seems to be a hardware issue. Try to claim warrenty if you have if it's a manufacturer fault.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qskile:
Yes I had this issue too so can confirm it's a hardware error. The replacement Z3 I have does not do this at all. Get your phone replaced as soon as possible. It will fall under your warranty as it's a manufacturing defect.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
I had that happen with a replacement screen on my G2 turns out its the ribbon cable that is at fault generally, meaning its a display issue. I also had static images from another screen replacement on same phone also a screen issue. Gophermods eventually gave my money back after one more replacement lol. 3 Screen replacements and 2 different issues all because the manager was to careless with the ribbon cable. Even last time (3rd replacement screen) I got flickering but as soon as I loosened the display from the casing a little it worked perfectly. Well at least I got a full refund, so free repair lol.

Since this is an out of box issue for you better get a replacement unit.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_optimizer:
Thanks for suggestion but it's hard to claim this issue to Sony because it occured randomly and rarely.

Btw is it possible to fix it by flashing latest rom via flashtool?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalamiQueen:
I also have this problem and notice it happens more frequently when I am charging my phone and using it at the same time. But it doesn't happen too often for me go nuts, yet! Not sure if I should get it replaced? It's such effort having to back everything up again and transfer over to new phone seeing as I've just about moved everything over =P oh and just stuck a screen protector on top of that which was expensive lol

Probably better to get it replaced, it does not seem normal. I hope you aren't using one of those third party chargers.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalamiQueen:
Nope, using official one that came with phone. It rarely ever happens tbh. Not as much as others have experienced it seems, it's probably happened on 2 separate occasions since I've had the phone, but then again I've only had it for about 2 weeks. I'll see how it goes

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotroot:
So this very well may not be a hardware issue but a software issue. I have only seen this happen to my phone when its plugged up to a computer via the USB cable or if its plugged up to the home charger. So far I have never seen it happen with the phone in my hand using the web browser YouTube or any other actions on my phone. I would really hate to take the phone back and exchange it for another one at the setting of my phone the way I like it just for the replacement phone to do the exact same thing. You would think that such a large and prestigious company like Sony would have an answer and tiny updates fix this for those of us who do not want to update to lollipop

Z3 was on official KitKat, and I rooted it and flashed Nuts latest recovery, flashed Lollipop Monbreakers 3 and never happend again...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotroot:
I took my phone back and they replaced it; NO ISSUES. Guess my initial phone did have an issue. In fact this new one asked me for preferences, had the Walkman app vs "Music" and just works better. I think the 1st one was just a bad apple.

Nuts recovery? Wow I thought only Phils and TWRP and CWM existed.

I havent rooted yet, as I am coming from a HTC and Samsung and LG background...these Sonys work differently from what I have been reading.

If you can IM me about your rooting process i'd appreciate it. Thanks.
