Programmes Close / Start menu Appears

I'm sorry to say this is not good news and has come up quite a few times previously.

Commonly, though not always this starts after the device has been on for a while and heat has built up, putting pressure on the top right corner. In portrait, programmes will minimize/close as it presses the "X", and in landscape the start Menu will appear.

You can try the Screen Alignment fixes - business card slid atround under the bezel to relieve and pressure/clear out any dust etc but this is not guaranteed to work.

Below I have copied some of the previous links, but my advice - get a warranty replacement and if you are forced into getting a repair job then thouroughly test the device using heat generating applications (Wifi) etc to be sure it's really fixed.

Does anyone Know which serial numbers are good phones

HI

I have a v1605 with serial HT648.

I am currently having this problem and i am thinking of getting a replacement.

I have read in some threads that this problem was mainly in units with SN 630 and below yet i have also read one guy with serial 647 having similar problem.

Has anyone figured out what is the "Safe" serial number - or can people who do not have any of this problem post their serial number.

I had this exact same problem with my v1605. Took it back to the Vodafone shop I got it from and they sent it back to HTC for repair. I ended up getting a replacement phone back and haven't had any issues with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ken481:
Yup i think that is what i will end up doing - i am just worried that replacement will also be faulty - i hope not.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
As I have stated in several other posts get a replacement (as you say) not a repair if possible. I would not worry too much - although we see these cases reported here they are in reality only a tiny fraction of the number of hermes around.

Sound like the same problem I have, the start menu flickers on and off like crazy. Pressing the start button stops it, but just briefly.

Keyboard input often stops working.

I think my warranty has run out, anywhere I can get it fixed for cheap? Anything I could attempt myself?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onolox:
I had let the tablet with 1% of battery at night.

In the next day the tablet wont charge, wont boot, nothing. It is completely dead.

I had tried many things like let it plugged in the PC, buttons pressed, etc.

Someone knows how to bring back to life the v500?

This is absurd! It's a common situation.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghyslain:
I've been in the same situation.

I let the tab on charge for 2 days : no change

I leave it for a week without anyplug then I charge it again.

After a moment, it's start charging ^^

I don't understand why or how but it's OK.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onolox:
I had found a solution:

Is to unplug the battery,

wait 30 min,

press the power for a few seconds,

plug the battery again,

plug the charger.

I think the battery needs some time to regain some juice and have the minimum to boot the device.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarbingerOfDoom:
LG G Pad 8.3 , The tablet is dead after full discharge

I had the same problem.

Take the charger off and wait for a short time.

Press and hold the power on button for 20secs. or until the device turns on.

Let the device run its startup process. It will most likely power off after a few seconds or minutes. (This is okay).

Charge the device as usual.

I have a Tab 3 that had stock 4.4.2 and it was simply unbearable and sometimes take seconds to do anything. So I rooted it and installed TWRP and installed a custom rom thinking that might fix it, no luck. Any suggestions on what could be wrong or how I can improve it? The rom I installed was Tranchidakat v4.1

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephy09:
Try to put it in your external sdcard. And locate your extsdcard in twrp. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
Depends on how you copied it over and what version of Android you were running at the time.

There is no actual internal sdcard. It is simply a link to a folder on the data partition.

In 4.1.2, the "internal sdcard" was linked to /data/media.

In 4.4.2, the "internal sdcard" is linked to /data/media/0.

In TWRP, you may need to browse through the data/media directory or the data/media/0 directory to find your file. You can either use the "up a level" option from the "Install" menu or go to "Advanced" and choose the file browser.

Hey Guys, First off, this is the first thread I've created so sorry if this has already been posted.

So I'm having issues reverting back to stock, using a stock nandroid back up from Mr Hoffs page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376), my CID is OPTUS001 and did the restore from the back up all goods, but then when I do OTA and after is has finished installing (I think the update is 1.54). So then when it has booted back up, My wifi is no longer working, It wont switch on.

I'm going back to stock to update my phone as far as possible, hopefully up to Lollipop.

Help me out guys, surely there is a way to revert back to complete stock without the need to S-Off the device.

If you need information about my phone, Just ask, hopefully I will be able to answer it!

Once the version-main already been removed by the old TWRP version, installing the latest TWRP will not bring it back. You need to restore the firmware then flash latest TWRP will fix it.

Based on your info, you need 3.32.111.3, restore the 3.32.111.3 backup and its stock recovery. Do OTA update to the latest 4.19.111.2

Flashing TWRP 2.8.1.0 alone won't fix that blank version-main

You need to restore 2.07.980.2 backup and its stock recovery then do OTA to 3.32.980.4 this will fix the missing version-main.

4. Extract the downloaded 2.07.980.2_ckpv5.zip on PC

5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.

6. Reboot, connect device to PC then open Internal Storage, TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./

7. Transfer the extracted 2.07.980.2 folder (not 2.07.980.2_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device

TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./2.07.980.2

8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)

9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore

10. In reboot menu select bootloader

11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery 2.07.980.2_recovery.img

12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install

13. your device should be updated to 3.32.980.4, repeat step 12 and see whether any update for lollipop as I the last time I checked, nothing yet.

14. done

If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP 2.8.4.0/2.8.5.0 after last OTA

I looked at the CyanogenMod Theme Showcase in Play Store and I couldn't find a single positive review. Are there any good Black and Blue themes available for this rom? The white backgrounds are giving me a headache. So far I like everything else. This thing seems really fast.

Update: I tried to install ViPER4Android. Just like I've seen in all the Viper threads CM roms have a hard time with it. That's an absolute deal breaker for me. I'm not going to struggle with it. I'm restoring my KK backup now. I'm going to wait for a rom built on the manufacturer release like I originally planned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
So there's still the SMS/MMS twitch from the other CM12 builds, huh? Send a text message, it goes through; try to send a second and it hangs. enable airplane mode, then turn it off, and the next text goes through.

Anyone have any idea if there's a fix for this?

I also assume, though I didn't test it before I flashed back, that audio is hit or miss with video playback. On two other 5.0.2 CM based roms I tested, while watching a video with MX Player, audio would just stop working. No toggling or tweaking seemed to bring it back without a cache clear and reboot.

If I could get these two features consistently working, I'd LOVE to use 5.0.2 on my phone; it's wicked fast compared to KK. especially compared to TW, which is utter garbage, as we all know. :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
So far so good!

Thank you, Team OctOs!

I had tried the other two 5.0.2 ROMs and the biggest issues I had was the device not coming back from a deep sleep (or basically the device not powering back on for some reason, requiring a batt pull. This got so annoying that I had to jump back to a KitKat ROM, until I saw this thread and how promising it looked.

So far, (and I rebooted a few times after everything was installed, after seeing some of the posts) I am happy to say that the main issues I had seen with the Lollipop ROMS for this device isn't seen on this one.

- Netflix - Works!

- Not powering on after some time with the display off (maybe deep sleep?) - Not seen so far after 24 hours (saw it within a couple of hours on other ROMs).

Minor issues still seen:

- Volume seems to be low on calls, but this is remedied by just pressing the volume down once, and if necessary back up and the volume is fine after that.

- On Bluetooth, when I stream music through it, the volume drops every few seconds for a split second then is fine again. I had figured that when I don't max out the volume on BT on the phone, it seems to work better, almost never seeing this issue so it's just a minor annoyance.

More info regarding battery: So far, the battery drain on this is amazingly low! I paired this with the PA Micro gapps pack and after 4 hours of it unplugged, streaming music on LTE, I was maybe down just 15%.

So far so good and thank you again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SolaceKane:
So after a few days I have not encountered any major problems at all.

As far as minors:

-a freeze here and there, had to do maybe one battery pull

-goo manager doesn't seem to work

-cant get one of my favorite games to function(puzzles and dragons) , after doing some research it seems it an issue with custom roms in general and this game.

Thank you all who put your time and effort into making this ROM, its awesome.
