Unbrick your phone

HI, don't know if you already solve your problem but if not, your solution is here. Just download the original firmware for your phone model and flash it with Odin. You will loose any data you have, your phone will be just like out of the box.

Download the correct firmware from Sammobile making sure its the correct one. For example, my phone is SM-G928f unlocked. So I use United Kingdon BTU. Other firmwares may freeze up your phone and you will need to re-flash again. Once you have picked your firmware, follow the instruction on screen given to you on the download page ;)

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkrazeey:
Hello everyone, I'm not sure if there's another post about this since I didn't see one but if there is let me know.

For the last few days I've been having a problem that I believe is my lock button going bad but I have no idea because I've never seen this before, a lot of times I have to push it 2 - 4 times to lock or unlock my screen, and holding to get power menu will cause it to lock, unlock, then give me the power menu...

I was on cm 12.1 when this started, so I tried different builds (that I knew had no problems) and it didn't change. I've also went back to stock and still no change so I know it can't be the system or apps.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated because I feel like I'm gonna be losing my phone anytime now and I really can't afford another one right now. Thanks in advance for any help...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I had the same problem for button for months my worked then i will must press 2-4. Times and then doesn't workes..so you can usr double tap to wake and sleep or power button to volume download it from play store and if you want to rebooot or something else download the Quick reboot and the problem is hardware issue not system!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkrazeey:
OK thanks that's better then nothing atleast I know it's not just me...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
I am experiencing the same thing. I rely heavily on double tap to wake now (Side note: DT2W is a mandatory feature for future phone purchases now) . The power button is still an issue when it comes to taking screenshots, and occasionally when Double Tap to Wake gives me issues.

I reached out to Alcatel and I am eligible for free servicing. I've been dragging my feet since I will have to live without my Idol 3 for 1-2 weeks more than likely, but I will be sending it for repairs next week. I will update to let people know how my experience went.

One thing I want to mention is that I bought the phone at launch approximately 11 months ago. The warranty is a one year warranty, so if you bought your Idol 3 at launch and are experiencing any issues, I recommend that you address it sooner rather than later. For me, I want my phone to be fully functional if/when I get Marshmallow.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkrazeey:
It's nice to know it's not just me, but this also really sucks, up until now I've seen the idol 3 as a solid strong phone.

I thought about contacting alcatel also but I don't have another phone for a backup either, so if you send it away it'll be awesome if you give updates mostly for future reference.

I bought mine august of last year so I still have time also.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Alright I'll keep you posted. Right now, the Alcatel repair center website is down but I'll try and get everything set up and ship it out tomorrow on my lunch break
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkrazeey:
It's actually getting worse already.. And almost unbearable. I'm having to push it up around 10 times to get it to work now, and while it's like that double tap doesn't respond either. This is an extremely weird problem, I really don't understand how double tap and the button can both stop working at the same time, you would think double tap would always work... Unless the mother board is going bad in general, but you would think that would give a lot of other signs besides not unlocking.

Gonna drive me insane [emoji33]

I've been carrying my tablet using my phone for hotspot only, it's sadly easier then fighting it to unlock. I really hope alcatel doesn't play around with repairs.. For the sake of everyone and the fact if they take forever I might reconsider getting an idol 4 when they release...

Edit: I just realized that before this started I've had a weird issue where when I scroll my phone will randomly go into something like I tapped tho I was dragging, it's been frustrating and I didn't consider it to be linked until I just thought of it. Did you have this problem too?

Edit #2: also not unlocking automatically on calls, forcing me to miss calls or im fondling my phone different ways in a hurry hoping I unlock it in time and don't hang up.

Edit #3: also no lock/unlock sounds while having lock issues issues.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Sorry guys, looks like you are going to have to test this with someone else. I have been lazy and frequently popped my sim card out via a thumbnail. Eventually the sim ejector button broke so I can't get my sim/sd card out. I'll just call it a day and stick to my DT2W until I get a new phone in the next year or so.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breakerfall:
I'm gonna have to send mine in. I assume I'll have to flash back to stock but that's my only obstacle.

I'm a bit upset that I'll probably lose B12 for T-mo but this is mainly an extra phone for me anyway.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
On second thought... I was using Soundcloud today and it was acting buggy so I tried to reset the phone. Power button doesn't register at all now, which means that not only am I unable to reset my phone, but also, if my battery dies, I can't turn the phone back on. Kind of a deal breaker there.

I will call Alcatel again and see what their thoughts are if my Sim/SD Card are stuck in my phone when I send it for repairs.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Yesterday I went to T-Mobile and they had the standard Sim ejector. Took a bit of elbow grease but they managed to pop it open.

Today I dropped the phone off @ a nearby UPS store. Alcatel should receive the phone by end-of-day Thursday as per the UPS worker. I am relegated to my old Nexus 4 for now.

On a somewhat related note, the paid version of Soundcloud is a life saver. I downloaded all of my music/news updates/podcasts onto my tablet via WiFi and now I can listen to everything without needing an internet connection. Should keep me busy for the immediate future.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkrazeey:
Well hopefully everything goes well and you get it back soon, I just hope they don't take forever.

I've noticed with mine after I took my case off I'm squeezing around the button and my phone makes a popping/clipping/creaking noise and then the button will work for a few times. So apparently for be it's a separation issue, which is weird because I've never really gave this phone any hard drops. But who knows, could just be a simple design flaw.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingoftheafro:
One thing I've found that works great is smart lock. I've got it set to never lock when at home or when I have my bluetooth on and connected to my phone. I don't have the power button issues you're having currently, but I thought I'd throw that option out there to make things a bit better for you. At least then when you press the power button the phone just wakes up on the home screen or whatever you were working on previously. I've been using smart lock for about a month without a hitch and it's the greatest feature I've seen for locking and unlocking the phone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
The issue is around waking the phone up when the screen is off, not unlocking the phone.

Anyways, at noon today I got an automated email from Alcatel saying that they had received my phone and will be starting the repair process. So far so good.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkrazeey:
I tried the theory of taking off the lock in general hoping that it had anything to do with it but it didn't, it's just screen on/off problems regardless. I can however use an app for unlocking with power buttons that works flawlessly so that definitely confirms that it's the power button.

[MENTION=5358720]macallik[/MENTION] that's great to hear, maybe it won't take so long... My problem would be that I don't have a backup phone to use, so if they stay on top of repairs that's awesome.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb151:
Any update? I'm about to send my wife's in, but our backup phone is a piece of garbage.

...actually, we call it the dunce phone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
My Nexus 4 seems antiquated so it has been a struggle for me as well.

I haven't gotten any further update yet. I did my Googles and have seen some warranty fulfillments take 2-3 weeks (granted it was a screen replacement) and others take 1-2 days. I am traveling for the week of Memorial Day so hopefully it arrives by Friday. but with each passing day it seems less likely. Utilizing my ZenPad 8.0 tablet a lot more fwiw.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb151:
ugh!

My wife broke her Nexus 4, then she broke mine after I upgraded to a Oneplus One. I have a Blu Studio G that we keep around just as an emergency back up, but it is such garbage. takes forever to do anything.

Thanks for letting me know.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
[MENTION=6935485]jayb151[/MENTION] Got an email ~20 minutes ago that my package has been shipped and they provided a tracking number. It hasn't arrived at the UPS Facility yet so it is still blank on the tracking page for the most part.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Received the phone back and the power button is functional again. I am going to stick to using Double Tap 2 Wake for the most part since I think that the power button going wonky was more of a design flaw than a random occurrence. They did not fix my broken Sim Card Ejector but I was able to brute force it open.

Overall I am happy with my experience.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb151:
So, May 17th-June 4th?

19 days total. Not too long but not too short. I'm finally going to send mine back now. Thanks for keeping us updated!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Actually it was May 17th - May 30th but there were no deliveries on Memorial Day and I was out of town for the rest of the week. Good turn-around time but it could vary based on what it being fixed?

Receiving my phone back made me realize how much better the Idol 3 is compared to my Nexus 4. I think that most of the Idol 3 message boards have already become accustomed to the good things, and so all that is left to talk about is how the Marshmallow update has not happened.

Being that I like my phone, I am not quite sure why I kept coming back to the forum to begin with. Perhaps it was to talk with people who also thought the phone was good value for its price. I am going to take a break from the message boards and following the Idol 3 (both good and bad commentary) and just focus my time elsewhere.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayb151:
Sounds good man. My wife keeps complaining about the idol, but once I send it back she'll have to use this ****ty BLU phone we have as a beater. I'll sure she'll fall in love again with the idol once it's fixed up.

Thanks again!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimriceva:
Oh bother. Mine has just developed the power button issue too. It started just after Marshmallow was pushed out and I thought it was related to the new OS, so I spend some time factory resetting and redoing my apps and all. Unfortunately, I got mine in the first release, so I'm about a month out of warranty.

Over the past month, it's gone from once or twice, to constant having to push 2-4 times, to never working at all.

Has anyone sent theirs back and had to pay for this repair? How much did it cost?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
I'd call Alcatel tomorrow to see what your options are (and how to pay if necessary) prior to sending it out. Once you figure that out, I can't imagine why the time would be any longer/shorter than a regular, in-warranty repair.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimriceva:
Thanks. I called 855-368-0829, but I kept getting a message to enter a call back number or previously registered number. I did enter my number, but I didn't get any response. I finally used the contact us fillable form to send them my info. We'll see what they say.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Try calling back later I say. I have called in around 6pm (CST) and have gotten through after ~10 minutes or so.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimriceva:
I tried calling last night and this morning without any luck, just getting disconnected. This happened after I pressed 3 for technical support, whether or not I entered a contact number. Do you, or does anyone else, have another number other than 855-368-0829 for Alcatel? If I can't get them today, I may decide to pick up a Moto X Pure off the Amazon Prime day sale.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Nope, I called the same number for my issues as you did. Took about 10 mins but got through to a human being the 2-3 times I've called.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimriceva:
That is so odd that I have been getting cut off, at both home and work, after a minute or so of hold time whether or not I entered a call back number or not.

Anyway, my email to support@alcatelonetouch.us did get through. I'll have to go to their website, set up a return ticket, and mail it in from there. No word on cost. See below. I guess I'll be on my Nexus 4 for a while.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbkrazeey:
I tried to email them and it's been a week now with no reply, I'm really disappointed in them. I really don't wanna call but my screen is cracked and half my digitizer isn't working. This is how companies die.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimriceva:
Success!

So, here's how it all went down. I went to the link that Alcatel emailed me. It wasn't entirely clear how to set up an RMA but after fighting with the page a bit, I managed to get it to work, and for out of warranty service, there would be a $39 fee, plus tax. I submitted the RMA and it took me to a Paypal page where I could pay using my credit card. I entered my card number, paid, and got my RMA number.

One thing, once you do your submission, you get the phone number for the company that is the authorized repair center. If you're having confusion about the RMA process, you probably should have it beforehand. It is 469-484-6610.

I shipped the phone off on Wednesday

It arrived in Richardson, TX on Friday. The company sends an email when they receive the phone. They say somewhere on their website that they'll get to it within 2 business days. I figured I would hear back on Wednesday at the latest.

Wednesday comes and goes, so I expect to have to call the company on Thursday.

Thursday, I get a email saying it is being shipped back. I call, and they say, yes, they have fixed it, and it is being shipped back. I asked if there were any additional charges, and they tell me no, there aren't, it's all set.

The phone arrives back to me on Monday, with the power button repaired, working just like new.

So, 12 days from shipping off to back in my hands. Including my shipping, around $55 to get it back in action. I'll call that a win, especially after using my wife's old Nexus 4 for the time it was away. :victory:
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
Glad to hear it worked out for you. $39 repairs aren't bad at all either. I had to use my N4 while I waited as well lol. Never going back to anything less than a 5.5 screen if I can help it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimriceva:
4 months later problem reoccurs

After 4 months of mostly trouble-free use, my phone's power button is acting up again. It's in the pressing 1-2 times to get it to work stage. I think it's time to replace the phone. It will be missed.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jani0417:
Power button on my ~13months old 6039Y does the same, I guess it's really time to buy another phone. Planned obsolescence or just simply poor quality, idc.

Hi everyone

this is a digital clock (& date) plugin for today screen that i found on this website:

http://www.nakka.com/soft/ptools/index_eng.html

I changed the background to black & the numbers to white & i use it now like the iphone on top of my today screen

its nice & small in size.. you can also customize the location, font size, and colors

the date is cousomizable (by prog options & through registry) but the problem is that the clock is only 24 hour format

i was hoping that someone here can look and try to get it to do 12 hour format (9:00 pm instead of 21:00)

if you can tweak to make that adjustable though its own options that would be great (eg. 09:00 - 9:00 - 9:00 pm ..etc) but even a registry tweak would be great for now as i hate the 24 hour format

2 files attached (installation & source)

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
iPhone look alike today clock & date

No programers here that can look at the source & develop a new CAB that makes the clock in 12 hour format???

I am disappointed... over 170 people looked but no responses...

this clock sets at the top of my today screen & it shows the date too...the font size is nice & it looks like iPhone or Slide2Unlock size & look after i changed it & reversed the colors

its very small in size & if you use the navigation it will jump over it to the next lower today plugin, which means that you get to the important items that you want to click

please can someone figure how to customize to 12 hour format?????

it seems thats the only thing missing now & with the source & original CAB provided i thought it would be easy for Xda-pros

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanmin:
Have you looked at "rlToday"? it does the samething
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
smaller & centered

i checked rlToday

i still think tdClock is smaller in size & better ceneterd in the screen specially when the hour changes from 9:00 to 10:00 for example with an added digit (always centered)

if someone can just figure out how to do 12 hour format

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iiiox:
the original site (in Russian) >> http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=27712&st=0

the formats of Time and Date are 100% customiz-able!

detail discussion (in Chinese) >> http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=129&t=413779&last=3911609

by the way, the font size, position and even the font itself can be customized.

how to do: (take the attached screenshot as an example

1. install the cab

2. tap the time/date display on the screen >> tap Settings

Settings page

3. set the format of date to : dddd. dd. MM. yyyy (means weekday, date, month, and year)

4. set the format of time to : h:mm:ss tt (means hour(12hr), minute, second, and am/pm)

5. set the height of module to : 55 (to layout the module's height)

6. set both left space and right space to : 10

7. click "show icon clock"

Font page

8. choose whatever font you like, Tahoma in my case (you can change it to your content by copying new fonts to the windows font folder)

9. set the height of date: 11

10. height of time: 25

11. Vertical align (date) to "top"

12 Vertical align (time) to "Bottom"

13. Bold to "Black"

Colors page

14. tap text and background color and choose whatever colors you like

Note: "/", ",", "-"or whatever can be added to the format of time and date to seperate items. however, "\" means word wrapping. it is used only if you want to wrap the format of time or date to two or more lines.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RevAtB:
WOOT! Thank you so much for this little gem, just what the wife was bugging me about, a clock with seconds!!! I even went so far as to make it into an OEM package for cooking, pls find attached.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] davehutch:
Ok, I've tried BUT

Can't get the line wrap to work.

Where does the \ go?

ALso, is this the latest version? I can see mention of AlDate 1.12 on the web but can't read Russian or Chinese ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RevAtB:
WordWrap

well actually its \n that is used, normal imbeded notation

so this "ddd,\nMMM dd" would display as this

Wednesday,

Oct 24

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] davehutch:
That's fine but

Ah, I see. the example above works as well for putting the clock underneath the date.

thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Thanks... & Font Request

Thanks alot for the great program

this one does exactly what i want

i no longer use the rlCalender

& started to use this one

i am able to place clock & date in middle of today screen and adjust size & color

Does anyone have the font used in Silde2Unlock clock? its similar to iphone, i think its Arial???

and can you please post instruction about the OEM version? i downloaded the file but not sure how to install or what is it used for?

Thanks again
