Dear Friends,

Just like you I am also a PDA freak. I have had these handheld marvels since several years and am deeply into them.

I have owned an O2 XDA mini for over 6 months now. I found a shocking defect in the covers provided by O2. The cover has a strong magnet which tends to move the direction of the screen when I put or remove the device from its cover.

My friend who is using the same mobile has had the same problem. But sadly his screen has become inverted permanently now. We have tried all troubleshootings and have written several mails seeking help and reporting the quality issue to O2 and also its manufacturer HTC. But there has been no response from either of the parties.

What I can suggest immediately for everyone is to STOP USING THE MAGNETIC COVERS FOR THE MOBILES to avoid the problems we have faced or you shall have to burden your pockets once again with at least one third the price of your phone (the cost of the screen and its labor charge as the service centre has refused to repair it under warranty). I shall update you about any replies I get.

Regards

Karan Aggarwal

I think what he meant by 'covers', is the holding case.

Yeah, we know.. but have the screen rotated permanently, that's new.

Curious, did you try Settings>Screen then check if landscape mode is active?

You say you tried everything but maybe it's not the magnet but the slider mechanism has become dirty? I'm not sure how the slider has been implemented but it's possible something got jammed inside.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] deejaykaran:
I have tried it

Yes, I have tried it. But nothing is working out. I have got the device check ed up. The repair center says it needs a replacement that too at my cost.

Hey guys,

I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 on my phone and I'd like to update it to a recent Android firmware (4.4). What exactly will I need to install and also will I need to backup my files in case it formats the device before running the update?

Hi everyone

I got LG G3 phone when i put sim card it saying (searching for service) doesn't pick the network signal

if it was lock it was supposed to ask for network unlock but it doesn't ask for unlock code

i also restored it with hard reset setting but nothing came useful .

anyone has any idea how to fix this issue then kindly help me with .

any help will be appreciated .:confused:
[AT&T LG G3] datas0ft:
It is because you have AT&T provider ROM. These bastards remove and disable many stuff. You just dont have your new mobile operator settings on phone. But unlock without these you can this way:

- Please insert an accepted simcard

-Enter the following sequence on dialpad: 2945#*850# or 2945#*855#. <- 850 or 855 is your phone model number

-A hidden menu should appear

- In the network part please input the NCK code provided by our website.

-The phone is unlocked

Now go to Settings -> (More ...) -> Mobile networks -> Access point names

On right top corner click to three dots and click New APN

Insert needed settings for your operator and again click to right top corner to three dots -> Save

Reboot and you online
[AT&T LG G3] tulipkhan:
This phone is from Verizon usa
[AT&T LG G3] tulipkhan:
Boss when I put the code you said to prompt me for unlock code tried alot but doesn't ask when I insert Verizon sim saying your phone is activating wait and after some time getting message we r sorry we r unable to activate your phone I brought it from usa lately I'm in uk

I have wrote to them twice, no reply. Seams not serious.
[Android Head-Units] dmandn:
:( That is not a good sign.

Looks like they may have been at an expo the last few days though, so that may be why. Though that begs the question, are they a one man band/startup company?
[Android Head-Units] dmandn:
Did you try contacting sales@ownice.com or sales@winlink-tech.com ? ....Seems weird they have two company names and details on one site though.
[Android Head-Units] SWEUP:
sales@winlink-tech.com and thru Alibaba "Contact seller", maybe you could try th other one :) Seams fundamental wrong to make the effort to put up iteams at alibaba and don't reply sales question (wonder how they handle support questions :) ).

Maybe they selling OEM products and brand them, hopefully there is a OEM product that will reach other, more serious, resellers.
[Android Head-Units] dmandn:
Trying to access winlink-tech.com website redirects to Ownice.com site so I think they have changed their name for some reason......that is another thing I'd be worried about.

Bought it directly from Ownice.

Ownice is their new brand (POC --> Elaine)

Winlink is their old brand (POC --> Elaine)

Carwin is their distributor

There are all represent at aliexpress, so don't be surprised if there all have the same unit with different prices. Ownice was the cheapest...

Will be really interesting to read your feedback. I'm a bit sceptic to their optional accessories (resolution, ram), would be better to have 1024 and 2GB as only option.

The resolution upgrade is only available for 8 inch or greater. I have the 6,2 inch display so there was no option to upgrade, still bought the RAM and flash upgrade :)

Hopefully this will fit into my car (civic european version fk2 2007) :confused:

I was hoping to see some video of the HU in action. I don't want to buy a pig in a bag.. china is a long way from South America so sending it back is out of the question.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eniac0:
I am at my wits end to try to repair my phone. It is softbricked and responds to download mode only.

I've had chat with xda members and read threads on it:

http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/nand-write-start-fail-odin-soluction-t2851096

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-10-1/help/help-help-unbricking-galaxy-note-10-1-t2872125

and many others. in the end, my phone is still stuck with the NAND Write Start error with odin.

I know it happened after i tried creating a backup of my phone in recovery mode (phone was rooted with cf auto root and had a version of CWM on it). CWM gave me a warning about possibly bricking the phone, i agreed to the warning beacuse it always worked in the past, but when i rebooted, it was bricked this time.

this phone is not dead but samsung won't fix it beacuse it is rooted. I refuse to throw it away. I have read many people have it this error since kitkat 4.4 so surely there is a fix somewhere. I am hoping somebody will be more resourceful/experienced than i am.

I have tried changing to several different USB ports, without a hub, using original cables (bunch of different ones too) in many many different order and fashion. I tried enough variation to be convinced it is statistically impossible that all my hardware that was previously working for flashing has stopped working all at once. aka - it is not a usb port or data cable problem

may be related to data charging port on the phone though I highly suspect it given how it started.

I tried different roms, different versions of odin, i tried depackaging and repackaging roms, i simply do not know what to do anymore.

i tried reflashing with kies but kies just dies on me.

i tried flashing it with adb but adb won't even connect. when i plug the phone windows recognizes it and usb driver seems to work ok (not getting an error)

I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers several times, rebooting in between installs. no difference.

i tried flashing different bootloaders as well as entire roms, no difference

I tried changing the pit file but that failed as well (odin couldn't even write the pit so my phone is not dead even if i failed pitting it)

i have access to both windows and ubuntu linux if it makes a difference.

Here are the terms of the bounty:

Price : 100$ (payable by paypal from eniac0 @ "some google mail domain starting with gm"

goal : find a fix that works on the latest firmware for SGH-i317M (Rogers, Canada)

how : i don't know but i need to be able to reproduce it. I am not new to flashing but anything advanced will need to be explained clearly.

I don't really know how this sorts of request usually turns out but i am serious. you even got my google mail address to bill me up if i fail to pay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pbanj:
have you given a look at this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711825 it might give you some ideas to help you out. also did you try flashing a new recovery to see if you could at least get it to boot to that?

dont care about the bounty just trying to toss something out there that may help you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Did you ever try flashing the stock recovery - JUST the stock recovery - through Odin?

If not, grab the recovery.img and make your own tarball for Odin in Linux.

Hopefully that will flash and get you closer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Since you mentioned Ubuntu, you can also try using heimdall instead of odin... http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ . Unfortunately, I think it may be a hardware problem?

Since you are willing to pay to have it fixed, if all else fails, you can always send it off to http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-jtag-brick-repair/. It will actually be cheaper than what you are offering to pay ~$40 + shipping

good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eniac0:
Thanks all for your help, I've messed around and gotten no closer. I'm beginning to lean on a hardware failure, perhaps from the usb data port either that or the way bootloaders are packaged in kitkat 4.4 is different. which is why initially this thread gave me hope: http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/nand-write-start-fail-odin-soluction-t2851096 but i tried far too many times now to believe I'm going to succeed. In fact, I've gotten confused as to what i tried, in which order, with which rom. I'm basically trying anything and that's a recipe for bricking the phone for good. so i've stopped.

I'll also thank kozmo21 for the link to the repair shop. i was unaware this existed, as a last resort I'll be sending them my phone. If it turns out they are able to repair it, I'll honor my word and give you something for having been part of the solution.

Have you tried going to sammobile and download the newest firmware and only flashing that in odin?

Anyone with a Solution?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
It is important for me that my device selects networks (2G or 3G) automatically based on the signal's strenght, since my carrier's 3G service isn't all that great (or simply non-existing) in some locations. In the Huawei P6 this option is set by default, but it doesn't work well.

I tried using the *#*#4636#*#* code for confirming that phone was indeed in "WCDMA prefered" (which I assume is automatic?). It was, but it still wouldn't connect to a 3G network even in places where I know the signal is very strong. If I set it to "WCDMA only", it would actually work in automatic selection! I though my problem was solved, but every one in a while, specially if stay conected to a wiI-fi network for a long time, the device would freeze again in 2G and would never connect again to a 3G network unless I do the code thing again to set it back to "WCDMA only",which, as I said, actually makes it work in automatic mode.

Moreover, if I'm in auotmatic mode, and the 3G signal is weak or null, the device would not connect in 2G. This doesn't happen often, but it happen.

What could be wrong here guys? Could it be the sim or there's something wrong with the device?

Thanks in advance
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] richish:
I have same similar problem.

At job i have very poor signal on 2g and 3g.

When phone connect to 3G outside of job phone works well with no problems, but in job i lose any kind off signal after leaving job it wont connect back to any kind of signal. Help only resart.

At moment i use CM11 from Surdu and i dont have that problem.

U can try to change rom to CM11, maybe it will help to u too.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Thank you, richish. But I think I can't install any custom ROM until I get my bootloader unlocked. The method I saw here for unlocking it didnt work for me. Btw, is everything working in CM11, because I've read that some functions weren't? Can I flash it with locked bootloader?

EDIT (abot the issue itself): I tried using another SIM from a different carrier and the problem is even worse. The phone would connect with no problem to any network, but in 3G it would often freeze with no connection whatsoever (even though it displays 3G, H or H+ andeven the data transfer arrows). This can happen for up to 5 - 6 minutes. WIth my carrier though, this doesn't happen. If it's connected to a 3G network, the connection is stable, but it has problems switching to 2G automatically when the signal is too weak.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] richish:
What rom u using now? Will try to help u out to unlock bootloader.

Everything is working in cm11, but there is some FC in system.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Thank you for the offer, richish.

I'm using official B512. I'd like to try a CM rom, never tried one before, but how ofthen those FC's happen?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] richish:
For me its some 2-4 (or less )times in 24h. If it comes up u just press ok and system restart systemui in some 2sec

If u are b512 i think your booloader is unlocked. :)

When i bought phone i was on B118 i updated on B125 and after that instaled TWRP.

Just try to install TWRP and then u will see suces or not

Edit: check out CM11 forum system ui crash have been fixed in next update.

Ok, I didn't check after the update to B512 if it was unlocked. I'll do it when I get home and get back to you.
