[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos1984:
soldered to mainboard

Thanks for the reply man, but that was the first thing I checked. the card is soldered to the mainboard. I think you might be thinking of the Note 2 because I remember it having a replaceable sim/sd card slot and also a replacable usb charger. I do not understand why phone engineers do this kind of thing when they know that these are the parts of the phone that fail. It would be so much easier to repair to just buy the part and repair it, but no they want you to send it to them so that they cna make more money of you after you have already given over 500 for the dammed phone.

Sorry for my rant, but if I was more confident in my soldering skills I would attempt to fix it , but I am afraid of also damaging the sim card slot since they are so close.

Carlos

I posted a pic of the board, the 1st pic is of the board trying to look in the sd card slot but the camera sucks and the 2nd I drew what the pins look like on the notepad.

Talk about the fight if you saw it, or if you didn't add your comments on the outcome anyway.

I knew Hopkins was going to kick winky's butt. Winky's style is unorthodox but it only works when people cant counter it. Hopkins is a hell of a boxer. If anybody could take down winky, it would have to be hopkins. This should be his last fight though. Hes getting too old.
[Off-topic] Madcap180:
He didn't kick Winky's butt.. it was a very close fight, alot closer than the judges allowed, he had Hopkins in trouble in a couple of the rounds, I thought for SURE he was going down, but Winky kept backing off for some reason.
[Off-topic] hiimcliff:
thats because hopkins defense is KILLER. he probably knew not to keep pressuring.

I install Cyanogenmod 11 on my Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T and now I can't adjust screen brightness. Regardless of the setting, brightness is at maximum.

P.S: Sorry for bad English
[XDA Assist] StrangerWeather:
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! If you downloaded CM11 from XDA, the best thing to do would be to register and ask in the dedicated thread: [ROM][4.4.4][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 11.0 Nightlies. Another alternative would be for you to have a look at [TF700T][ROM][5.0][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.0 and decide if you want to try and flash it as it is more up to date. Finally, you can look at other roms in your device forum: Transformer TF700 Android Development.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayat55:
Hi, I know that G928F is european and G928C is Asian. However, what exactly is the difference? I'm asking because previously the processors used to be different. However, Samsung have put the same processor in all of the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.

P.S. Which GB did you get? 32GB or 64GB?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pankajxdx:
Mainly the Modem and the bands it supports is what's different between these models, at times companies also include Country specify features like LG G3 had TV antenna for Korea version, but that's rare. Apart from that if you buy it from a specific carrier they also might some say, for instance Samsung pay not working on Verizon models.

So, for the most part it's almost identical except modem.

I got 32 as 64 isn't available in my country (yet?) But boy I love this phone, killer looks and display with an awesome camera.:D

Hi guys, got a pretty wired problem. It happens in Chrome when I'm entering a page, before the for example menu icons is fully loaded, they appear as what I believe is Chinese letters..... Any idea what this is??
[XDA Assist] Mike B.:
It's hard to guess what exact problem you have with which device/ROM/version but based on your previous post in this XDA Assist area I'm guessing you are referring to an LG G2 and, as previously suggested, you should ask your question

with all relevant details

in the LG G2 Q&A forum at http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/help. That said, unless you have a screenshot or a specific description of what happens under which exact circumstances I'm not sure anybody will be able to advise you.

Once again, good luck!

HI, Mike, thanks for replying, I'm gonna go straight to G2 forums and ask there instead!

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
I lost pinch to zoom functionality yesterday night, but was able to regain it by restarting the Note 5 and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I was drawing on S-Note using the S-Pen for about 20 minutes and the battery was around 15% when I noticed that I couldn't pinch to zoom in on an area of the drawing. I "closed all apps" and re-opened S-Note, but was still unable to zoom. I then tried it in Chrome, Google Maps, and Gallery and found it glitchy in that it made an attempt to zoom as I pinched, but was either laggy/delayed and barely functioned.

All issues were resolved after a restart.

Since it was resolved after a restart, I'm thinking that it's software related, but you never know. I just want to make sure I can exchange it within the allotted window if need be.

Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanRinVA:
I was running MikeD63017's CM12 on my Sprint S5 Sport, and I wanted to return to stock to get the latest stagefright fix. I used ODIN 3.10 to flash G860PVPU2BOC5_G860PSPT2BOC5_G860PVPU2BOC5_HOME.tar.md5. ODIN reported Success.

I'm now in a boot loop where it gets to the Samsung screen, "Preparing your device for 1st time use..." and then reboots. I've tried re-flashing to no avail. Samsung Keys 3 & the new Smart Switch PC software don't recognize my phone or manual input of model/serial.

I feel like an idiot - I'm now searching for G860PVPU2BOH1 firmware.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanRinVA:
Fixed. User UPdownLoAD walked me through Wiping in stock recovery and I then re-flashed in ODIN.

Hi sent my Z3+ to Sony for repair since the camera was closing in seconds

Now the phone behaves much better, doesnt overheat like it did before

But CPU -Z showed clocked at 1.6

384-1.56

Is that normal, just wanted to know,Thanks
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] schecter7:
It's clocked at 2GHz (Big) / 1.56GHz(Little) - you can verify by profiling with trepn. FYI, CPU-Z is a buggy mess. It only 'tries' to tell you the current freq - not the max freq. Check these two attachments from CPU-Z. One says I have 8 a53s - LMAO
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] LMcR92:
I'm sure this is there quick fix for the heat issue. sometimes it makes it mind up on what freq to use.boot from cool showes 1.96 run the phone a bit clocked at 1.56.

sony/snap have to look at this which is why its taken so long. id be expecting a custom governor anf fix the fact its runnin 6 cores while at home.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdeutsche:
It's for my galaxy note 4 (910A, att version)

Recently, my daughter dropped note 4 on very hard surface (cracked the screen) and had slight water damage. So camera failed also.

So I have replaced the LCD and rear camera. Camera still didn't work, but after I unseated all the cable and seated again, then camera works. Pretty difficult experience.

But today when I checked, I found IR blaster doesn't work. IR LED works, but on mirror or camera, when I clicked the IR button (PEEL smart remote), there is no light coming out from a hole beside the headphone jack. So I am guessing, hardware failure.

To replace this, what part should I buy? It seems to me that this part is connected to proximity sensor and front camera. So I am looking at the eBay item like this: Replacement-Front-Camera-Proximity-Sensor-Flex-Cable-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4

Sorry I can't post the link for this.

The seller doesn't respond whether this fix also IR blaster. Does any one know?

Could someone recommend the trouble shooting guide for IR blaster? *#0*# doesn't really test the IR blaster, just test IR LED. Am I looking at the right location for IR?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trojanvision:
Has anyone installed the 6 Tab Today plugin for their Home screen? I have the ATT 8525. I know there are existing threads for this issue, but I want to see when the problem occurs for users. For me, the problem is in the Phone Profile section where the profile would be manually set by me to "Normal." However, the phone thinks it is on automatic and switches to "Vibrate."

The question is: When does this happen for you? For me, it happens only when I try to input a new calendar appointment. Just want to see when this behaviour happens for others.

Thanks.

Hi guys i was replacing the screen on asus zenfone 2 after cracking it and while doing so i ripped of the port on motherboard to which the antenna connects like with roots . And right now i cant use my sim cards because no antenna)))

Any thoughts how can i fix it? or where can i buy new motherboard? Maybe asus service center can fix it for money? i mean phone is ideal but no antennat for now maybe i can solder it? Will it do the trick?

dear alex i have the same problem as yours and i know the fix, i manage to peel off the surface of the motherboard; using a thin razor blade, where the center pad is missing, the rest of it on the sides is ground, i manage to trace the track to a resistor inside of the shielding can, and i make jumper to the antenna cable and voila the signal is showing again and all working fine, if you can provide the photo of the board (remove the shielding) i can draw you the line to make the cable jumper...

i know that the center pad is already ripped off and nothing is left but if you see carefully under a magnifying glass, there is a small yellow dot that is the line under the center pad, use multitester to trace it to some resistor in area i have marked in red, so sorry i'm no longer in posession of this board because i have return it to my customer, and i did not make note of which resistor to jumper...

just try it yourself and post your results here, as for the antenna i cut of the connector and made a plain jumper to the ground and the other one to a resistor....

sorry for my late reply ...

I did not understand very well , say the yellow dot that indicated by the red arrow ? the connector was previously welded where there is a red circle .

i only mark an area not a specific point because i don't remember the line from center pad is connected to,

antenna connector welded to board if peeled off, the surrounding is connected to ground, the missing center pad you have to see using 10x magnifying glass and you can see there is a small dot still exist, you try using multitester then to find where is that dot ends, in the area i have marked, after you find it, cut off the antenna cable at the connector, and solder the outer cable to ground and the center to the part where you have found using mulltitester..

Made an account just to say that you are all amazing. With the info on the thread I was able to fix my phone and saved a lot of money! Its a lot easier than I thought it would be, and I'm not the greatest solderer.

Take your time scraping the traces away, and put a dab of glue on the joints to firm them up. Don't rush and take your time people!

Third time's the charm

After typing out a mutliparagraph response and loosing it, I had to switch to my computer. I'll try to condense what I had previously typed out, I don't feel like doing all that again.

BUT after several weeks of my antenna fix I can tell you it is not perfect, least my fix isn't. Granted half reception (none inside buildings or in certain places) is better than none. But it doesn't seem to be a perfect fix. I have issues uploading anything like texts, images, etc. Downloading is unaffected. My phone is my only source of internet so I really notice this. My speed test results are looking like this: (mb/s) Down: high=29.59 Low=4.4 Up: high=2.48 low=0.13 Ping doesn't seem effected. My upload speeds used to be higher than my download... Before I even did the trace scraping fix, I emailed Asus about purchasing a Zenfone 2 motherboard from them (none on ebay/online) and they won't sell them to regular people. Super bummer, but its okay I ended up buying a new Zenfone2 (the zoom and lazer aren't worth it) it should be here today.

Got a little off topic there, but we're good. As for the fix itself?

I used a thumb tack for the scraping action, take your time and don't dig deeper than the trace! (pic below for the CORRECT trace) As for the antenna wire, Cut the end that has the broken off port still stuck in it and strip that sucker. Split the outer metal wires into two stands. Use your teeth or a lighter to expose the signal wire. Tin your fresh wires (less is more, its small pads and wires!) and turn your attention to the ground pads. They are the large pads left where the plug was sitting. At this point your trace should be visible, your antenna should be tinned, and your fingers crossed! I had forgotten to tin the trace and pads but It worked out because I tinned the wires with a tad too much solder so it was okay. But don't be like me, tin your pads and trace.

Start with the ground wires first being sure to check the length of your wires before hand, and get them on there! Once they are secured move on to the signal wire. I found this to be hard, it is by far the smallest thing I have ever worked on. Have good lighting, steady clam hands, and a magnifying glass! You don't want to break anything else here, even if you don't fix the antenna your Zenfone is a great media device! When you finally have that signal wire on, take a smoke break you need it! Next, turn on that phone and test the connection. If everything is peachy put a dab of glue on your fresh solder joints for protection. When putting the phone back together be careful not to pitch or snag any wires. Also, I cut the corner off the copper heat sink so that I would sit flush with the new fix.

Sooo ya. That's about it folks!

Good luck chorgan and may the force be with you.

I'll see any replies to this comment, so ask away if anyone has questions. I'm no expert, but I'm glad to help!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chorgan:
Update: I just had a look inside and was planning to solder it tomorrow so I taped everything down and while I was at it, made sure the connector was realigned with its old home on the motherboard. When I turned the phone back on, my 4G worked. So it's possible (though I wouldn't stretch to saying it's a good long term solution) to just tape the socket back on as long as you apply enough pressure that it won't move around in normal use. I'll keep you updated on how long this lasts because it could be a much easier fix for us that aren't too handy with a soldering iron

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

I just saw this after my post about the the tape method. Thanks very much for the reply, pity I (hopefully) won't end up using it.

I had actually misunderstood the connector, I had been thinking that the two pads for ground were the onl y two contacts, and so one must be ground and one the signal wire at the core. That would have made for some heartbreak when I turned on my "fixed" phone. Hopefully mine stays cooperative, if not it's time to bust out the iron... or just buy a portable hotspot and a blokia. Anyway, I hope your luck is better with the new ZenFone.

Ps, I think my 4G may be a bit slower? I've had one drop off off where I lost signal completely but I have a feeling it's intermittently dying but not for long enough for the phone to register the loss. I'll try a speed test soon
