You obviously have a faulty unit. Raise hell and don't give up until they replace it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shook187:
Another "phone crack by itself" thread? Those usually don't fly too well here and usually amounts to, the OP just talking a lot of hot air I'm just eating the cost of repair if he doesn't have insurance.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bozdag:
Cool story bro. You wouldn't believe it until it happens to you. At the end of the day, if I were to scratch or crack my phone, I wouldn't give a **** and just replace the screen myself.

But in this case, I am disappointed with a phone I purchased less than 2 weeks ago. I'd expect it to be defect free for £630 and if it does have a defect Samsung should have taken it back.

I've never owned an Apple phone before, but I have purchased headphones from the apple store before which when it went faulty after 11 months they swiftly refunded it according to the 'sales of goods act' which the manager lady there said so herself. The lads at Samsung need a sales law seminar.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] k.babymamma:
My Note 2 has a crack that runs diagonally from the upper left to the lower right. One single continuous crack that mysteriously showed up out of the blue. No spider webbing or whatever. I did NOT drop my phone. I did not witness the crack appear, as the OP, but did notice it shortly after I had been for a walk out in the heat. I have always been convinced that it was a fault in the glass to make it crack in this way. Phone still works fine and I never pursued the issue with Samsung (I had owned the phone approximately 7 months when said crack occurred.) I work at a college and have seen a huge amount of cracked screens...all spiderwebbed and nasty...mine is just the one diagonal edge to edge anomaly. So yeah, I believe it could happen. Good luck getting Samsung or the carrier to do anything about it though. I do wish you well on your endeavor.

If you have the option, just try a different location to do the exchange. That doesn't look like a typical crack.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hendrickson:
Happened to my s4, the thread is still going I think. It cracked like that in my pocket. I think it was from heat of my thigh and the cool air or something. Samsung told me I must have dropped it for that to happen. And in the end I sold it on eBay for spares and got like £200 for it.... Best of luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JippleStar:
I hope extreme cold to warm won't make that happen.. It's about to be that freezing time of the year x_x

That got me scared because I have a scratch in a similar place - not reaching the border and much smaller though. I hope it's just a scratch..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] m1trand1r:
Samsung really became Samsuck lately.....:(

I'll never go back to Samsung again after I replace my S-2. The best smartphone made by Samsung ever. All the rest is a pure miss by them.

To OP and fellas with cracked screens....good luck on your way and a pro tip......Don't buy Samsung anymore...they just need money....your money....that is all their aim is....purchase another device which is "better"....sadly...

[HTC Rezound] SuperAwesome78:
I explained in the help thread that I can't boot up anymore into the stock image. So, I followed some instructions and managed to unlock the device. Here are some questions I have:

1) How do I tell what the current image/build is of the phone (like 4.05 etc)? This is all it shows me in bootloader:

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.28.0000

RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r

OpenDSP-v14.6.0.7708.00.0507

eMMC-boot

Sep 20, 2012, 17:40:22

2) I noticed that some of the images are called RUU's that come as a .exe file. In order to update using these, do I just need to have the phone in fastboot mode in the bootloader? Or does it need to be booted all the way into an existing OS?

3) Is there a stock version of KitKat or Jelly Bean that I can get for the Rezound? I see so many different custom ones but for now I'd just like to try the stock if it's possible.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
You are welcome to continue this discussion here, or you can continue in the help thread...

1) They key here, without booting up, is in the HBOOT and RADIO version. 2.28 and 123r/124r are indicative of the most current OTA, 4.5.605.14... http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Rezound

2) "RUU" is kind of a misnomer and carry over from older HTC products... basically there are two flavors of stock ROM, once is an EXE file, it is run from your PC and the phone is placed in download mode and the entire phone is re-imaged (these are 'real' RUU's), the ZIP files that are typically renamed to PH98img.zip and placed on the SD card are often called RUU's, but are really just signed ROM images that the stock bootloader and recovery will process, similar to just flashing a ROM but may also include radios and hboot, this can also be simply updates to previous official ROMs as well. These are all done from the HBOOT or download mode, the phone does not need to be booted.

3) This one is very tricky... the final version of the stock ROM was 4.5.605.14 and was ICS, the problem is it was never released (or even leaked) as a full ZIP or RUU from HTC or Verizon, only in an OTA update. The tricky part is that you are already on the current firmware, so you can't use an older stock ROM and downgrade, the phone won't allow it, and you can't restore it to pure stock at it's current level.

I am assuming you cannot boot the device? Then you are in a precarious position, you will need to unlock the device via htcdev.com to troubleshoot further.
[HTC Rezound] SuperAwesome78:
Right, I cannot boot it, but I have unlocked it using the instructions from htcdev.com. It is still set to S-ON though. Is there a unmodified Jelly Bean or KitKat ROM that will work with the Rezound?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
JellyBean was never a "stock" operating system for this device, nor was KitKat. Ice Cream Sandwich is the latest stock ROM available.

If you wish to try to restore this device to "almost" stock, it is possible... Download this ROM, it is essentially the latest stock ROM with root added and nothing taken away, and TWRP 2.8.0.1F recovery and the CleanWipe script from this thread.

Once you get this, copy the ROM and CleanWipe script to your SD card and put it back into the device, and copy the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1F-vigor.img to the same directory as fastboot/adb. Remove the battery and disconnect the USB cable, reinsert the battery and power up into Hboot, then start Fastboot and connect the USB cable, then enter the command:

fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1F-vigor.img

After a few seconds the device should boot into TWRP, go to Wipes menu and select everything except the external SD card (external storage, micro SD, or whatever it is labeled), and wipe it, do it once more time (note that the entry names may have changed or switched order). Now go back Home and select Install and navigate to the CleanWipe ZIP and install it, then go back Home, then press Install and select the ROM ZIP and Install. Do NOT wipe cache/dalvik or factor reset, just reboot and remove the USB cable, it should boot up. You will be on a completely stock ROM, except it is rooted.

If this doesn't work, we have one more option, going to a ROM that doesn't use the internal storage... some early JellyBean ROMs have the internal and external storage swapped, we can sometimes use this to our advantage to get the phone booted to perform S-OFF and RUU the device if needed.
[HTC Rezound] SuperAwesome78:
Thanks Ace for the great info! I will try that. I realize that ICS is the latest ROM from HTC, but I guess what I meant was the closest to what Jelly Bean or Kitkat would look like straight from Google, like on a Nexus device. I see other developers here have made their own custom versions of Kitkat and Jelly Bean that work on the Rezound, but those are all modified from what came from Google.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Gotcha... The closest you would find then are Evervolv or Plain-Andy.. You will also need a Gapps package, I recommend PA Gapps mini modular in most cases. You flash ROM then Gapps package.
[HTC Rezound] SuperAwesome78:
I just did send the twrp image to the phone and booted to it. I ran the wipes and they failed, it has a bunch of lines that say it's unable to mount /cache /data /cache /system /emmc /system. Also says failed to wipe delvik and on the second line in yellow it says Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux contexts. Did I do something wrong?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
:(:(:(:(

No, you did nothing wrong... The SELinux message is not relevant in this case, it's just reporting a status, not an error.

Unfortunately it appears that no partition can be mounted at all, so the partition information table or the internal storage chip is bad.

You can try booting up TWRP, going to Wipes, Advanced, and tick each partition, one at a time, and then click "Repair or Change File System" and select "Repair" and if that fails try "Change File System"... most of the partitions should be Ext4 except internal and external storage, they are FAT32. To be honest though, I have not seen this work for anyone who has this problem yet on the Rezound, but it has worked wonders on other devices so it is worth a try.

Being S-ON there is no other remedy for this that you can do. If you were S-OFF we could try a full RUU which writes a new PIT file, but the paradox is we cannot achieve S-OFF without being able to boot the device fully.

I have seen several Rezound's in the past few months have this happen... not sure if they storage chip is just getting old and it's seen it's limit of reads/writes or some situation is happening, but you are not alone.

It is 9 days from it's third birthday, it is getting old, that's like 90 in human years. :)
[HTC Rezound] SuperAwesome78:
Tried the repairs and change file system, and it still gave the mount errors. Is the internal storage on the main board via a connector or is it hardwired in? I was thinking maybe I could take it apart and re-seat the storage it if it uses a connector.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
It's soldered, part of an AIO chip... JTAG is the only real possibility at this point, and that's still a 50/50 gamble.
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Dang... Rezounds are starting to drop like flies :/
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Yeah... I think this is the 4th, maybe 5th, in last 2 months that I've seen in the forums, exact same issue with every one. [emoji24]
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Yeah :( over the past few months they've just been dying. I had to retire mine because the charging port and battery prongs broke.. It just sits on my counter in my room.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimitos:
Hello all.

I was using my nexus 5 yesterday, playing a full screen game, and it powered down.

I figured that the battery was dead so I plugged it in.

The device won't respond to any combination of hard buttons, even after 12 hours of charging. No screen or led illumination.

The micro USB port don't seem broken. I've tried multiple chargers/cables.

It was rooted, but otherwise stock and I hadn't been using any root apps recently.

Any idea what could've happened? It was working flawlessly for the six months leading up to this incident.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mashhhhh:
Hi, I have my z1 since about a week, and I have noticed that the battery life is not like in the reviews... I didnt expect that it would last 2 days like some of them says, but it only last about 17 hours, I know that is OK, but everywhere all says that it should last like 1 day and a half... what should I do? is it for the new google play services? maybe the reviews are old... Am I doing something wrong?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srqrox:
Does the battery keeps dropping even when the phone is locked?

There are quite a number of reasons which could be causing this, phone easily handles over 5 hours of SoT that is quite cool if you ask me.

You may want to elaborate the kind of battery drainage you are having.

Any solutions?
[Xposed General] PsionicResonator:
I would like to add my strange experience to this thread. I installed the Xposed framework and right after reboot I noticed that the google play store would no longer fully download anything. I would go to download or update an app but the progress stops randomly during the download. (The download would stop progressing and the little downloading icon in the notification bar would disappear) This strange issue is fixed by uninstalling the framework. I'm wondering if it has to do with the Note 4 touchwiz rom or the new google play apps that have been recently pushed (it seems they were just updated, I swear!)

I just wanted to leave this here. I will try running the framework again :)

Also I tried it with NO modules running. ;)
[Xposed General] gizy98:
Hey,

Installed this yesterday on my Note 4 to change the app DPI and Res so I can get Play Store tablet view etc. Went through the install, changed the settings, rebooted and the store is still the same so I don't think it's actually doing anything.

The apps I changed are shown in red, does this mean the settings are applied or that there is a problem?
[Xposed General] XBOHDPuKC:
Same experience here. It would download apps at the end of the day, but it takes 3-5 minutes per app. Also I start getting Google Services and google.location "unexpectedly stopped" errors after reboot. Disabling xposed framework makes these errors go away.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkoo:
Hello,

I've looked through guides and threads everywhere and so far have been unable to find a solution. Here is my problem:

I bought a second hand phone, it was working fine however it had been rooted on Cyanogen firmware.

I therefore tried to revert this to a stock ROM I downloaded. I was able to do this through the LGMobile Support Tool.

However when the process completed, my phone was stuck in a reboot loop on the LG logo. So I went back to the LGMobile Support Tool and selected 'Upgrade Recovery'.

After completing this, my phone was still stuck on the loop, but now I'm unable to access download mode, or recovery mode.

I don't know what to do? Please help.

i have tried the solutions mentioned on the other thread but no luck

the problem is that where i live, online payment via credit card is not possible, and also the the Google play cad is not available. if it was possible i would have bought it again from Google play store, but i cant.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longnh86:
My N900 got bricked and it cannot get pass the Samsung's boot logo (the static one, not the animation one).

- I had been using rom cook alba19986's UltraLite XXUENI1 on my rooted Note 3 before, all things work perfectly.

- Then I flash kernel Halaszk v0.20 beta, but Synapse didn't work ("No UCI support"), so I flash kernel Halaszk v0.17 in recovery mode. And that's it, the problem occurred.

- Then I got stuck in bootscreen, it went to "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" boot logo and stopped there, I waited but nothing was gonna happen.

- I came back to Recovery Mode, did a full wipe/factory reset, wiped cache, davik cache. But it's no uses.

- I freaked out, so I re-flash Dr.Ketan's K14 rom, TR-ROM T22, alba19986's rom (Full wipe) successfully, but the bootloop happened: the phone continuously rebooted nonstop.

- I tried to flash stock kernel, stock modem in Dr.Ketan's rom (by his MultiTools), but it didn't help.

- Then I downloaded Note 3's stock roms (from SamMobile), which are N900XXUDND1 (contains 4 files inside) and N900XXUDNC1 (5 files inside, one of them is PIT file), and went to Download Mode, flash them via Odin PC v3.10. There was no fail. But the bootloop doesn't go away, even though I did a wipe data/cache (now it returns to Samsung's stock recovery mode)

Please tell me if there's anything that could help me get out of this situation.

I did read the thread here, and here, but my situation might be a bit harder.

Thank you.

Take your battery out, then try and reenter recovery and then wipe, factory reset etc. Boot up and see. Give it a few mins to actuality load up. If it boot loops again, reflash stock and then you should be OK.
