Additional help

Hey I was facing the same issue with my Verizon LG G3.

I think it started to act up around the time I started playing PokemonGo a lot more,

The SD Card would unmount and the Sim Card would would just stop reading by itself.

I posted a solution that worked for me on the thread you can check it out if you need it
[General Questions and Answers] wilbert08:
i tried the solution of NimbleWeasel's posted video, last Monday night (putting a card beside the camera) it worked for the whole day but the error persist by Tuesday night. then back to the other solutions! now i tried the tape on the wifi chip plus the card beside the camera. a bit bulky on the back side, but as long it does the trick! hope this one holds up.. fingers crossed!

Tried the tape solution on my Nexus 5 and it didn't work

Now I have tried the heat solution - but with a hair dryer

I did it similar to the way the guy did in the video (I wrapped the motherboard with aluminum foil and meanwhile it seams to work! and it didn't even get that hot... I was really surprise actually!

Will update if it will stop working.

Thank you for the guide and the tips!

it works..some how...

OK ... I opened my phone (NEXUS 5) and just removed the metal housing over wifi chip. Then I just applied some credit card pieces and pressed chip with screws.

It works...some how.. But for about 3-5 minutes and then it loses signal again. If I press with my thumb against screen, where the chip is, then it turns on again...

It definitively a hardware problem !

Hello !

My Nexus 5 died yesterday... WiFi was having trouble to connect or activate...

I never had it falling or what else... I'm sad this is an hardware issue, I tried everything (factory reset, ..., and so on, ...) there is nothing to do...

I'm going to sell the screen for spare and go for a new phone, really don't know what to go for now !

After almost 2,5 year of using LG G3 i bought OnePlus3T and my old G3 gave to my bae - i'flashed her Fulmics 7.0 - After about.. 1day phone started rebooting, wifi started not working same as bluetooth - tried all stock roms - nope. Tried new battery nope - I saw that sometimes Wifi is working and i'm able to connect to my router and see couple of pages but then sudden reboot and wifi gone :(
[General Questions and Answers] Beoxoeb:
I think i fixed my LG G4 by removing the motherboard from the chasis to avoid damage to other sensitive components (like the camera, battery.. flex cables, conectors etc) and heating it using a hairdryer for 3 minutes at close distance, then i pressed very gently while still really hot the wifi/bluetooth/nfc chip using a toothpick for 30 seconds and seems to be working properly by now, you can find all the simplified diagrams of the motherboards on iFixit.com in order to know where you need to apply the heat + pressure tecnique
[General Questions and Answers] Velvet G:
This is what worked for me. Annoyed that I had wiped the device, etc when nothing else worked but this did. Quick repair resolved it but I also left a thin piece of plastic on top of the chip as well to make sure the damn thing never separates again.

I LOVE this phone, but with the SD Card slot dying (friend had the exact same issue) now this, it's a little frustrating.
[General Questions and Answers] Beoxoeb:
I have an update, after heavy use (benchmarking) the phone SOC gains temperature and the problem reappears, i guess we need temperatures arround 230 Celsius (446 F) in order to fully melt the connections (the 100% pure non leaded tin starts to properly melt at this temperature) but im not sure if all the components on the board are able to take all this heat without being destroyed :/ i heard about using kitchen ovens but don´t trust the method at all because the poor temperature control this termostats have and i´m not sure about this but...what about all the heat in form on infrarred radiation the oven resistors emits? it may (not sure, just common sense) create zones near the surface hotter than the rest of the board, i guess if someone is willing to try it may be a good idea protecting the board from it using aluminium foil or something like that

Velvet G, did the small plastic piece made any difference? is it still working on long term? :confused:

Hi users, had same problem on my redmi note 3 pro and solved it.

Teardown the phone and must disassemble logic board.

Looked for wi fi chip and cleaned it with especific product, then with heat gun you put some heat on chip, must be carefull or you will have a burned board. Sometimes this happens because phone dropped or overheating and solder may be broken.

Try your luck.

Enjoy

Hi, I have an LG V10, and I tried to do the pressure chip method, the freezer method, and no luck. I was wondering how should I approach the heating method using a blow dryer.
[General Questions and Answers] olejonbj:
Hi. I have gotten the same problem after 4 years. After removing the metal cover above the Wi-Fi chip, there is a metal "bridge" going over the Wi-Fi chip with a circle in the middle which iFixit has just CUT OFF it seems here.

So my question is, is that bridge of importance? I guess it is. I tried the tape solution and it worked, but dropped out after a few minutes. Physically adding pressure when the phone was on actually made it work again, so it is hot-pluggable.

So added more tape and it worked perfectly, BUT this time too much so that the vibration motor on the main back panel could not get contact, and also a very big bump (too much tape). So I started from scratch, making it more perfect (previous times was more to test). But now it does not work no matter what.

I have a few questions:

Does the "metal bridge" with a circle in the middle do anything? I guess so, so pressure on that should be enough no?

Does the metal case surrounding the chip serve for anything, or is it just there for physical protection? Because it is really easy to bend the whole thing or a little "tooth" and if it has to be put perfectly back on it is hard. If it is only there for protection it should make testing a lot easier no?

Maybe all of my pressuring has made the chip disconnect, so I am wondering if anyone has had success with the oven solution? And have anyone tried it and destroyed the whole thing?

Thanks!

(My phone is still under warranty, 5 years, by law for consumer electronics in my country to avoid planned obsolescence, but I'm in another country now. Otherwise I could just go to any shop that sells LG devices and tell them to send it to free repair. Flashing custom ROMs, opening, humidity etc doesn't break the warranty, in that case they have to prove that it is the reason, with videos, photos, or technical data. If it's my fault I will have to pay for their time, yes, but if they have a motherboard lying around or easy to get it is less work than to prove it is my fault so... :)
[General Questions and Answers] olejonbj:
I managed to get it working again...! I used the oven solution (last resort!), probably using the hairdryer solution someone has posted in the thread is safer. My oven thermostat does not currently work (says 50 celsius no matter what), so goes to maximum, which I noticed when it got really hot and I put a baking paper in and it catched fire immediately :P . So I used common sense instead, and since I know that that particular baking paper can tolerate 220 celsius and starts to turn brown at about 200, I kept the door open for a while, put 3 layers of (white) baking paper below and above the Motherboard (reflects heat) on a grill plate and checked regularly just touching the Motherboard and moving it around to one part not be on the same please on the grill plate at all times.

Afterwards I removed the metal case around the Wi-Fi chip, pressed the circle metal piece over the Wi-Fi chip down with a flat tool for 30 seconds as suggested by the hairdryer solution, then put 2 pieces of transparent Scotch tape covering the empty space under the metal case, but not its borders, put the metal case back on, put a piece of carton from a contact card on top of the metal case and put a piece of Scotch tape over it to keep it in place.

Before one has to remove the SIM card holder, disconnect everything from the Motherboard, the 2 antennae cables, the camera cable, the 2 battery cables (to remove the battery which is glued on but can easily be removed with just a little force). When putting the Motherboard back on make sure to put it on so that the power button is in the right place (slide it in from the side is what I did), and that the camera cable is sticking up through the hole so you can connect it, and make sure the proximity/light sensor is in place before pushing it down (I did not disconnect it before putting it in the oven, probably a good idea, but it works fine!). Screw the Motherboard lid well on and then the main back lid. If the vibration does not work, push down where the circle is when the lid is off (more or less 0,5 cm top-left of the S in nexus on the back lid and you should hear a click sound, then there is contact, if not, you may have used too much tape or something and it is impossible to get contact, so you have Wi-Fi but no vibration, opening it again and starting over get you back to start in my exprience so be careful).

It is the first time I have disassembled my Nexus 5 completely, and as the thread suggests even just removing and/or replacing the battery can fix it. I do not know exactly what fixed it. Maybe it will stop working again.

Could not avoid to lose some black plastic parts during this whole operation (opening the phone many times), like a few pieces of the teeth that keep the lid on (but enough are left) etc. A little to eager with the sharper tools, but the only visible thing from the outside is 50 % of the plastic piece above the SIM card slot missing.

Pls help
[General Questions and Answers] FreeInfo:
Thank you NimbleWeasel for your post. A lot of valuable information. I had the same issue with my G3 and based on the information I did not believe it was a software issue as the problem happened suddenly and resetting the unit did not solve the problem. The video posted used a credit card cut-out to press the Wi-FI chip on the circuit board. I found that using Post-It notes worked better as they already have a sticky side to them to help keep them in place. I used 15 of them and cut them to size. Opening the case and identifying the wireless chip was the issue but there are plenty of videos on-line for that. I recommend against the scotch tape as heat will affect the adhesive property. As for the oven solution I did not have the courage to try it because if it did not work the motherboard would be useless. Anyway talked too much. Thanks again. Cheers

Hi users,

I have a LG G3 and recently I used the tape method of pressing the wifi IC against the motherboard. It was fine, but after a few days things got worse. The phone started to reset continuously, produce a lot of heat and consume battery really fast.

Then I went for the final measure, the baking method.

First I tried to hold a soldering iron close to the board, but it wasn't enough. Then I used a heat gun for about 1 min at 250ºC, gently pressing the IC. I let it cool for a while and before closing it, I put a piece of thermal pad between the IC and the lid.

It works fine, but I have the feeling that the battery still running low really fast.

[General Questions and Answers] DROIDLG:
Recently also having problems getting wifi to work on my G2.

I also read that somewhere the solder balls does not start to melt at around 216 deg Celcius but somehow the heating process makes the wifi chip work again. I would treat this as temporary repair as what I understand is the fix may or may not be permanent.

With the extracted mainboard I heated up the wifi chip with hairdryer for few minutes then insert a thin plastic to cover the wifi chip just enough to give it pressure when reinstalling the wifi metal plate and screw the mainboard back into the phone.

So far with the heating and plastic sheet combo the wifi works fine for now running LOS14 28/3 nightly.

Hello XDA fellows~

I have been having a very annoying issue on various AOSP ROMs including ROMs based on CM. On stock ROM, no matter how loud the environment sound is, the recording always sounds perfectly but when it comes to AOSP ROMs, the quality of recorded sound is very much worse as compared to stock rom. Even worse, when I record in a loud environment, the sound will be very distorted. This is the only obstacle blocking me from using the aosp roms even though they still get more love from me than stock rom.

Since I always use Snapchat and I have to admit I am a party guy :p which is why I really can't live with this issue. I never had this problem on my others devices running aosp roms.

Does anyone get annoyed from the same issue as well?

Hi all,

quick question today.

On my HTC Home & SPB Phone Suite, it says that I have 1 unread mail, no unread SMS and no missed calls.

The problem is, everything has been read, there are no unread emails. To complicate matters, even if I get new mail and SMS it still says, 1 unread email.

I am however able to identify what is read and what is unread in the messaging client.

Perhaps there is a way for me to reset the count in the device database or something of that nature?

Looking forward to some advice.

Thanks in advance.

Ok so admittedly I made a noob mistake and inadvertently unchecked OEM unlock and rebooted. So I'm stuck on FRP lock. From what I see, my only option is to flash the original firmware on the phone.

My question is simple: I don't have TWRP and can't do a NAND backup. Will my internal SD card get wiped as well? If so, is there ANY way I can back it up before hand??

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DenisEhm:
Ok so I managed to save my arse after all, but I figured I would leave a reply here for archival purposes.

I used Odin to flash the stock Bootloader and PDA. Not only it didn't touch my SD, but it really didn't wipe anything and I only lost my root.

Two things happened I didn't see documented anywhere I looked: I got a weird crash on boot update and ended up in Stock recovery after auto reboot and got a slew of error messages, but a simple phone reboot worked.

Then I was asked for a password to restart, which turned out to be "default_password"...

Hope this will help someone down the road!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DenisEhm:
For sure, I just used the latest firmware on Sammobile: this is the generic one for Canada, but I'm on Rogers so I used this one.

I only used the BL and PDA, but I also made sure I wasn't locked out on my Samsung Account. FRP can be because of the custom binaries, but it can also be a system lock out and I've read that in some cases it's because the phone has soft locked itself out. Not sure how accurate that is, but wouldn't hurt to check I guess...
