[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
You will most likely get another N9 with this issue, but maybe you could get lucky and find one with minimal bleeding if you're okay with RMA. The screen in the N9 might have poor quality control just like some models have bad buttons+pushy rear covers+uneven volume rocker.

And I think it's safe to associate bleeding with IPS & (low quality) TN tech just like OLED tends to show the mura effect.

If you don't want to play the game of getting lucky I suggest waiting for the Galaxy Tab S2, next Nexus, or even getting an iPad if you already use their ecosystem.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerSilva:
Hi Ace42, thanks for helping again.

I understood that all IPS screens have bleeding screen issue, right?

Does bleeding screen issue indicates some kind of another future screen issue?

For instance, If my device has bleeding screen issue, Its screen is going to fail after 3 moths of use?

or Other problem might rise if my device has bleeding screen issue?

I appreciate any help you can give,

Roger
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
No, it doesn't indicate other issues. Light bleeding has been around forever & even TVs + monitors can still experience it to different degrees. I wouldn't worry too much about it because of its commonness. I'm not saying screens can't randomly fall, but if it develops dead zone, yellowing, etc it will not be due to the light bleed.

HTC just has poor QC, it's the job of their employees to evaluate the performance of parts. Despite being an expensive device the quality isn't equal to Apple's.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Contrary to all the crap you will read about "light bleed", it is neither a defect, nor a flaw. It is a CHARACTERISTIC of ALL backlit LCD displays. The reason is has recently become a "defect" in some people's minds, is that there are some display technologies now that do not use a backlight at all, such as the common AMOLED... which has its own set of flaws, such as requiring a much greater resolution in order to yield a similar "look" as a backlit LCD (the higher number of pixels means that you need a stronger GPU), and being extremely poor at accurately reproducing colors.... BUT, no backlight = no light AT ALL from areas that aren't displaying pixels.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerSilva:
Hi all,

thanks a lot for helping.

I understood that black light bleed is a issue in all IPS screens, so if I request a new nexus 9 with HTC's RMA, thus it is going to have the same issue.

Lesion learned: I am going to avoid IPS screens for my next devices.

Thanks a lot,

Roger
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
IPS still a good technology, that's why LG banks on it unlike Sammy. The bleeding can be unnoticeable or severe. That's why quality control is so important.

Okay, so I had to warranty my old m7, and flashed it all stock and stuff. Now I notice there is no free way to root and unlock my new phone? I had done all this back when rumrunner was still a thing with my old phone, but I notice there isn't a free way to do it anymore? Is this really the case, or did I just look at the wrong tutorials?

I don't have a lot of disposable income (otherwise I wouldn't still have an m7) and can't really justify spending 25$ for something that never cost money before. However, I also rely on my phone to provide all my internet (rural area doesn't have cable, but I get an okay 4g signal).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Sorry sunshine is the only way and it costs $25. You never know you might get it back with old enough firmware that you can still use a free version.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] squat251:
Well, I bit the bullet and bought it (since I have no choice) but now my phone isn't showing as rooted? I also can't seem to connect through adb. Before when I polled for devices the phone showed, but appeared as offline, now it won't show at all. Unsure how to proccede, I usually used the twrp app to install recovery, but that's not working (errors out saying I'm not rooted).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Are you at least unlocked and s off now?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Good deal. Glad you bit that bullet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] squat251:
Gotta have internet. Unlimited data doesn't do me a lick of good if it's locked behind yet another monthly fee. I just hope I can save up for a samsung device for when this phone bites it, so I don't have to pay another 25$.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Make sure you check that said Samsung device can be rooted to allow that function.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] squat251:
yeah, I was thinking about an s5 or a note 3, both of which (as far as I'm aware) have been thoroughly worked over.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saudkh:
This seems like an obvious feature? but I guess its not? I am new to Android, so any help would be apperciated.

Currently, if you get a notification (i.e. whatsapp) on the lockscreen you cannot launch this notification or reply to them by clicking on them. If you swipe down, it will launch the notification center, if you launch right or left it might dismess it. But no where does it actually open the app it self to reply or see the notification.

Is there anyway around it?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
Just a background:

This is not my device

This is a stock OS/nonrooted device

I have done some development on Android, so am somewhat experienced

I am helping a friend who just wants it to work again

Kindle Fire HDX 7" model # C9R6QM

What's going on:

Device is stuck on light gray "kindle fire" boot logo.

Device is not showing in device manager on Windows 7 PRO

Device is not showing in adb "adb devices command"

Device seems charged, has been left with cord in for longer than several hours

Tried several different cords to rule out faulty equipment

Tried multiple USB ports including 2.0, 3.0, front and rear ports, even a powered USB hub

Tried hard reset multiple times using power button

Tried power and vol up to go into a recovery, nothing happens.

"fastboot devices" command shows only "waiting for devices"

Help! I just need to get this thing up and running again, no matter the cost to data. Only thing I haven't tried is the bootloop utilities yet, as I am on a work pc and do not have access to download them atm. Will try these later if I need to.

Thanks in advance, and ask any questions if you need more info.

-Tripp

UPDATE 1: Upon further playing with device, I have finally gained access to the "Fire System Recovery" page seen here.

Well I guess since I am a new user still I cannot post the photo, but it is kindlefire recover page with a bunch of E: failed and E:cant mount stuff underneath. If I need to spell it all out I will.

Unfortunatly, neither "reboot your kindle" or "reset to factory defaults" does any good for me. Rebooting just causes it to bootlogo screen again, and Reset to FD fails, getting some weird oldschool tv effect on the screen until it reboots again into recovery and gives me the same two options.

ADB, windows, and fastboot still do not detect the device while in recovery.

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
Doesn't sound like you have many options. Only other thing I can think of would be to try booting into Linux (i.e. Ubuntu) and see if you can get anything to work from there.

Anyways — since you claim this is a stock device — have you tried contacting Amazon for a replacement?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
I wish it was that easy. Device is way out of warranty. Was purchased just after it came out in 2013. I have not tried booting into linux, but can run a USB boot when I get home on my machine to attempt it. Will report back after. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
No surprise about ADB and not showing in Windows as the former was probably never enabled and the boot never gets far enough for the latter. Curious if you seen anything in device manager.

Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of options given the device is stock and fastboot is next to useless on a HDX with a locked bootloader (special cables don't work). If the previous poster's suggestion yields no progress I would reach out to Amazon. Even though the device is well out of warranty they may offer a deal given it failed spontaneously. Yeah, it likely be a refurb with some coin added in but a working unit is better than a brick if the price is right.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
Damn was hoping there was a fix. I am sure that adb was never enabled as they are not tech savvy. Nothing shows in device manager when it is plugged in, ever. No changes.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
Update 2:

So I popped in my Ubuntu drive and booted up. After installing adb and fastboot just in case, I tried accessing the kindle in both boot logo and recovery modes. No luck.

Ubuntu doesn't even see it there...

I know I'm not going crazy but it seems like I'm missing something somewhere. I have been through multiple brickings of our developer phones and brought them back to life but they always had adb enabled. Seems like there has to be a work around.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
Quick question, would I be able to use a factory cable, or a homemade one at least, to force it into fastboot mode while it's stuck on boot like this?

And if I could get it into fastboot, would I be able to do anything to fix my situation?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Don't waste your time; traditional fastboot cables are useless on an HDX. One reason this generation of Kindle is exceptionally difficult to recover. The only time your really have control is with an unlocked bootloader. Otherwise the fastboot environment is crippled. Obviously Amazon has a hardware recovery method but no one has discovered it in the nearly 2 years since initial release.

Sorry to be the barer of bad news. It would be much more satisfying communicating a potential solution ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
lol thanks anyways. I just can't believe there is nothing I can do. Seems like if taken one step at a time, however lenghty the process may be, I would be able to get it fixed. Like if I can get into fastboot, even if crippled, I could repair the bootloader, or install a new recovery, or even wipe every partition and start over, or something. And then from there just add on little by little till it works again. I guess locking this device up like Amazon has will allow them to be the only ones to fully work on them. What a shame.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Yup - in a phrase it sucks. You can enter fastboot via power + vol- (volume down) but no useful commands can be issued unless the bootloader is unlocked. To do that you first need to install a vulnerable bootloader (typically accomplished via a Fire OS rollback), build an unlock code from your serial and manfID (obtained via ADB), sign the code string using a 'special' program and then attempt to unlock from fastboot. You can't even get to the first step no less securing the various details needed to complete the magic.

From a stickily business perspective Amazon is doing the right thing as a 'hacked' Kindle likely won't be used in the manner intended which involves full immersion into the Amazon ecosystem. Yeah, it ticks off a community of Android die-hards who vow never to purchase another Amazon device but in reality we represent a minute fraction of total sales. Apple nerds have been rattling the boycott saber for years. Has worked well - Apple just reported $58B USD sales for 1Q15. Apple probably could have made another 12 cents if they allowed all their devices to be unlocked and loaded with non iOS components (not adjusting for lost revenue from uncaptive app/media sales).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
Ya I can understand that. I'm actually using an iPhone right now, jailbroken of course lol. But I understand why Amazon did it. Too bad a tablet has to die because of it though. I love the open Android systems but I like apples hardware better. Haven't found an android phone I like better yet. To each his own, right?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
You may have said this before (I didn't read too carefully),

but I'm wondering if you had tried the HW buttons to get

into fastboot mode (power off, hold both volume buttons

while powering on). I have a theory that 'fastboot update'

actually works, but never had the need (or the extra time)

to test this.

Do you know what version of FireOS was installed?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
I don't and neither does the owner. I would assume the latest if it auto updates, although that may be what bricked it if it didn't have the power to complete the update. Can't confirm any of that though.

I will try both volume buttons in a bit when I get off work. I did the vol up with power to get into recovery, but that did nothing for me as recovery failed every time and rebooting just takes me back to the gray kf logo.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
Ok so I tried the vol up and down while powering it on and it just took me to recovery. Same E:failed to mount and E:can't mount/can't open messages below the recovery options in yellow. So I guess I'm screwed then.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
Hmm... This sounds kind of weird _to me_ considering that fastboot is the interface

to the bootloader, which loads either the boot or the recovery image. Since you do

seem to be able to boot to recovery (albeit with errors), I'd sort of expect aboot (i.e.

thebootloader) to be reasonably intact. And, in that case, you should be able to get

to fastboot; at least, in my book...

I suppose you must have tried this more than once, but I'd still recommend to give it

another chance. Power off the Kindle. Hold both volume buttons firmly. Push the power

button. And, keep holding all three until the fastboot prompt slides in. (The grey logo

should show up first, even in this case; quickly followed by the [fastboot] text.)

If this just doesn't seem to work, you could also try holding just the power button *really*

long (something like 40 seconds, I believe), which is supposed to trigger some form of low

level reset (possibly the same as factory reset; so, if data on the device matters, you should

think twice before going down this road). Then, see if this helped with getting into fastboot...

Other than that, I'm not quite sure what else to do than pray the thing apart and look for

debug pins.... :crying:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
I will be trying your methods draxie when I get home and back with the device today if what I am doing now doesn't work. I was following another dev's advice to let the device die and charge it from there to perform a reset as well. It is not dead yet and has been on boot screen all night. Not sure what it is going to do but I am new to these Kindle Fire related things so I am not going to ask questions.

At this point recovering anything from the device is nothing to me, or the owner, as there was nothing important on it. I was hoping to not take the hardware route, but I have the tools, the time, and the hands to do it if necessary. All I need is the knowledge from someone as to what the hell I'm looking for in there.

Just to confirm, after the gray logo of KindleFire comes up, should I be seeing anything else come up while holding buttons for fastboot? <<Just re-read your post and realized it answered this question>>These things are so much easier to use when rooted and TWRP or CWM recoveries are installed. Android makers all over should take note and use the knowledge of the open source community to improve their own devices.

Below is a photo of the recovery screen I see now that I can finally post photos.
