Have a link for that USB keychain by any chance. Keeping the things I need for my phone on one of those is an awesome idea! How durable do you think it is? My keys tend to get thrown around and in the summer I'm in the woods and throw them in a book bag so I'm sure I'd get dust/dirt on it

I don't see flash drives. I only see USB-C micro SD card reader keychains
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] quangtran1:
There are all brands of these key USB drives. You won't have problems finding them on Amazon. And the prices are everywhere. It's crazy that the same 32Gb capacity from China is $12, and from LaCie is $75. I have several LaCie 32 giggers but I don't remember paying that much for them. They're extremely reliable durable (but slow to write to) -- I've had them in the washing machine a few times.

Here's a better idea. Instead of getting a drive like this, then having to carry around the Pixel dongle, I'm going to get a USB C flash drive instead. It's cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQGP3LX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yea I was actually planning on getting the SanDisk dual USB-C flash drive. I liked the idea of having something really durably on my keychain though. This looks to be the best for usbC flash drive.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EZ0X23W/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

I just wouldn't wanna keep it on my keychain and your key one looked more durable... But then again the key snapped ones I saw had the circuit stuff exposed completely so maybe this would be better since it's the normal USB rectangle plus it slides in

.:: HELP Appreciated ::.

Hello Tech GURUS,

I returned from a long tour (I kept my XDA EXEC at home) & found that my XDA EXEC has got a problem of WHITE SCREEN!! Nothing is Displayed!!

May be brother's childrens or anyone of my friend accidentally did it in my absence(Sorry I'm NOT Sure). May be they pivoted (Turned) the screen in a WRONG DIRECTION!

That doesn't matter WHO DID IT, But the problem screwed my head & I started to trace the problem.

Symptoms:

1) Only WHITE SCREEN(with LCD Backlight), Nothing Else.

2) Charges perfectly through USB & also from Charger.

3) When I connects it to ACTIVE SYNC, it Syncs fine & I can able to explore the files/folders. Copy from & to the handset memory is also works fine.

4) Tried to enter into BOOTLOADER Mode(by pressing Light+Power+Reset), there also got a BLANK SCREEN (NO LCD Backlight).

5) TOUCH SCREEN detects TAPs & make sounds (Tick Tick), That indicates Touch Screen Working fine.

6) Qwerty KeyBoard Works fine. I don't know at what extent, since I can't see nothing on screen. But when I press a key on QWERTY Kbrd, it sounds Tick.

7) Transfered(Beamed) a CONTACT from my another XDA IIi & found Its accepted the beamed data.

8) Volume Up/Down make sounds (Tick, Tick...).

What I Did:

1) Removed the Battery & re-inserted & tried to BOOT it. NO result, just a WHITE SCREEN.

2) Purposely Tried to Rotate the Screen in Wrong Direction to test the loose contacts of co-axial cable.

3) Lastly Dis-Assembled the whole handset (Removed all parts 100%) & Re-Assembled it. But the Problem remains SAME.

4) Dis-Assembled again & this time I tested the LCD Co-Axial Cable's connectivity from MainBoard side connector to LCD Side Connector. There are 2 Cables which connects to LCD. One is 30 Cores Cable & Second one is 40 Cores Cable.

I Successfully tested 30 Cores Cable(Actually it used only 28cores cable, remaining 2 points at connector are DUMMY) & Second 40 Cores Cable I'm UNABLE to Test Since I lost my patience while connecting my Testing Meter to Hair Line sized cores & in just an 10mm connector got 40 cores!!!

5) Observed all cores which passes through SCREEN ROTATOR BASE Hinges & found there is NO physical Damage or CORE CUT.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS WHITE SCREEN PROBLEM?

IS IT A HARDWARE BASED PROBLEM? OR SOFTWARE BASED?

IS IT A PROBLEM WITH DISPLAY CHIP(IC) ON MAINBOARD?

JUST CONFUSED & SEEKING HELP FROM TECH GURUS.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

HellCrusher.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] scholbert:
Hi hellcrusher,

This seems to be a hardware problem. Check connectors in the display housing first. This unit is quite easy to disassemble.

Before you start, you should have a look in the universal SERVICE MANUAL to check out how it gets torn apart :D.

If all connectors to the display are right in place, but your display still shows nothing ...open the universal body too.

Folow the steps in the manual :cool:

Regards,

scholbert

White Screen

Hello, this is my first post. May I first just say how great I think this site is, the guides on here really are useful to beginners.

With regard to the white screen, not sure if this helps, but during dismantling of my various PDAs, I managed to connect an LCD ribbon incorrectly, I kind of forced it in & folded one contact over, resulting in white screen. Disconnected, straightened & refit. Hey presto, works like a charm. Hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Toroman:
I had the issue, had to buy a new flat cable :(

It is rare to actually see the damage to the cable, because the damage is inside the insulation....

On the topic...

Hello!

I have a similar issue with my Orange SPVm5000, except that mine will work for up to a minute after a hard reset before going to a white screen.

If I hard reset pressing the left+right+reset keys, the device shows the boot screen and sometimes ever goies into the initial setup but then all of a sudden it goes white. I've opened up the screen and verified and reconected all connections but still the problem persists. Also I've noticed that its not any action I make that causes it; more like a heat/timing issue. Per advice above, I will check the connections in the body but does anyone have any other ideas?!?

Thanks!

Greg.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] jahshappybus:
I have a similar problem. The story;

I purchased an orange branded M5000 on flebay described as second hand in fantastic condition blaa blaa.

When the phone eventualy turned up it had no manual, the outer sleeve of the box was missing and the wrong usb cable was supplyed (one of those larger usb plugs you usualy get for printers.

I have shedlooads of cables and rely wasn't bothered about any of these problems at the time and went about charging the phone (it was totaly flat)

When fully charged I stuck my sim in and poweded her up the phone works fine in portrate and landscape view but as you rotate the screen so it is inline with the keyboard the screen fades to white about half way.

I contacted the seller who basicly told me the phone is second hand so sold as seen!?!?!?

I have flashed various roms on it to see if it was a software fault but nothing.

I think this phone had been in storage as its battery was totaly flat and incorrect accessories suggest the seller didn't check it before shipping. So I believe there is a problem with this phone that occurs when stored.

Sorry for the long post
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Isaygarcia:
Have you flashed any rom or just had this problem ...

my conclusions:

1. If you have flashed a new rom to your universal, try to reflash the original rom, it works for many users.

2. If you havent flashed any rom, maybe its a hardware problem.

2.1 If you just used it in a bad way, (ie: rotate screen in wrong way), dissamble it..

2.2 If you have let it on a heat, weat, etc.. place.. maybe the mainboard got a cut-circuit.

Saludos
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] jahshappybus:
I tryed a couple of popular WM6 roms (I forget whitch ones) and returned to the genuine Orange WM5 rom. So I doubt its a software fault.

As far was extreme conditions go the phone was well packaged when posted I will gove that to the seller SO unless the eposure happened before shipping I don't think thats to blame ether.

I think the wire in the swivle joint is failing and will continue to get worse as the joint is exercised.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] scholbert:
Try to clear it up..

Hi there,

i made a lot experiments with the uni, so let me try to focus what's wrong:

First LVTato's Orange SPVm5000

Sounds like the image could not be loaded completely.

The framebuffer is initialized correctly after cold boot, but afterwords booting into wince fails.

So maybe it's pure software issue (flash content is corupt -> image is broken).

Other possibility: Some region of your flash is damaged (more hardware related).

jahshappybus' Orange SPVm5000:

Looks to me like a typical cable issue. Maybe someone twisted the screen the wrong way!

So this is what i guess at least.

Regards,

scholbert
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Toroman:
White screen

99 % of these white screen faults is a typical cable issue. And you don't have to twist your screen wrong way to have this problem, also.... just twist it too often :( First you have to see if the device is working, apart the screen.... call the number of your phone see if it is just screen related problem. Broken display cable will leave your device oprational, you just don't see the image.

I know it is "less painfull" for people to think it is a software problem.... (The "it would not happen to me" syndrome :)) but sometimes things just brake, and moving parts are most risky...

The fact you don't see the damage is of no importance due to the size and nature of the damage. Don't expect to see broken wires in the cable. And even if you check the cable by you instrument, somethimes it will show you it's ok, but in some positions it will loose contact.

Try a different cable... that way you'll be sure.

Best regards, and all the luck!

You'll have to use adb commands in order to pull it to your pc.. So long as you have minimal adb and Fastboot installed you should be able to do this.. If you don't know the adb commands that I suggested then use Google to learn more about the types of commands you can use like adb pull .. It's not that hard. Just make sure you have debugging turned on and oem unlock on also on the phone and then you'll be able to do it.

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] boofman:
Hi guys!

As the thread title says, are there other ways to wake the phone up other than the power button?

I understand that some devices can have the phone screen turned on through other means, like the volume rocker or maybe the camera button (needs root on some), or maybe even through a flip cover magnet.

The goal is to prolong the life of the power button, so any help would be appreciated.

TIA
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] boofman:
I guess I'm stuck without root, right?
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] grogzero:
I use a flip cover. There's a reed switch in the phone that will turn the screen off if a magnet is near and turn the screen on when the magnet leaves. The sweet spot for the magnet is about a finger width away from the volume rocker. I can send you a more accurate position if you need it.

Prior to that I was using an app called Gravity Screen. It's on google play app store and it worked pretty well if you discipline yourself to put the phone screen down. I used it to turn the screen off if I placed it face down on a desk or if I put the phone in my pocket. There are settings for using the phone with headphones attached and having it in your pocket. You have to play with the configurations somewhat but it's decent.

There are similar apps in the store but that was the one I bought.

Lastly, it's only half a solution but the xperia home beta lets you knock the screen twice to turn it off. If only it would let you knock it back on then life would be good but things are never that easy.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] boofman:
Thanks for the tips!

I currently use Greenify to have the screen off and sleep as a workaround.

I'll look into xperia home beta, maybe it could work better..

I also have a flip cover, though it doesn't have a magnet on it. Maybe some quick hacking could work, too, but I'm not sure if the magnet could fit flush in the case.

Gravity Screen is another one that I can look into. I'll see how it could work for me.

Again, thanks for the help!
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] Megacurco:
i use nova launcher prime with the double tap gesture to turn off the screen it works really well but as turning on the screen i havent found any app that doesnt consume so much battery lets just hope that nougat bring such feature, the last couple of days xperia companion warn me about an update but when i tried to download it nothing happened so y we have to wait some more i guess
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] boofman:
I've used that feature on Nova for all my other phones. That, configured to work with Greenify's Lock+Sleep feature works wonders.

For my Xperia, I'd like for it to be with Xperia Home, just have to check with Xperia Home Beta to see how it works..

I was just a bit curious to see if somebody with XA Ultra without root has remapped a key to another button to wake the phone up, as somebody was able to change screen density without root.

Anyways, I guess a smart cover may be the only practical workaround for this.

Thanks for your feedback guys!
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] boofman:
Xperia home in fact has a double tap to sleep functionality..now, if I can only map it to use Greenify's Screen Lock + Sleep functionality.. ;)

So, double tap to lock has a workaround, but it would have been great if we can enable double tap to wake (i know its a kernel feature - impossible to mod unless we have root + custom kernel) or maybe even just map the volume or camera buttons to do it..

I wake my XAU with my Sony SmartWatch 2. I hope they add dtw when Android N is released. Gravity Screen works well but drains battery a bit quicker.
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] boofman:
Nice! I actually am thinking of getting a Smartwatch, but it's kind of hard to justify the costs..

Yes, I have used Gravity Screen years ago, and it does drain the battery quicker than without..

So, not unless we have root, i think those are the only options we have for XAU

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mushy2000:
So stupid me decided to try rooting my phone with about 7 months ago when my phone was at 5.0. The flash said success in odin but when i restarted I have gotten the most nightmarish bootloop i've ever encountered.

when I go into recovery I get lrx21t.g870aucu1b0c5 as the top version I can get into recovery mode.

I've been working on this phone for the past 10 hours and I'm hitting a dead end, but I need some ideas. I can't find any firmware for 5.1.1 that would successfully install through the recovery mode. The one on Sammobile is 4.4, the bootloader is locked so I can't downgrade my Android version

The phone originally got messed up when I followed this guide.

1. Take the NG3 OTA update.

2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).

3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key) and flash the G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

4. Open the Towelroot app from your app drawer and press "Make it Rain" to root your device.

5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again and flash the G870A_NG3_Stock_Kernel also in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

6. Download SuperSu to manage root access. Done!

At the time I did not realize that the update made rooting my phone not possible right now.

Please help me I feel so dumb for making such a huge oversight to even check if my current firmware was rootable. I just assumed it was. I promise to follow instruction very carefully and am willing to try anything to get this working again.

Thanks

I've tried pretty much everything. So I'm not hopeful, but if someone can give me the right solution I will get you whatever you want on steam up to $55

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fidorulz:
Now what I mean by this is if I have multiple overlapping wifi networks I want to be able to select which one the phone will prioritize its connection to

Why this is important for me is at home I have my 5Ghz network and my normal network(2.5Ghz I think).The 5Ghz network wont travel as far as my other network but speeds are much better

So basically I want my phone to use the 5Ghz network until its no longer available.Another example of how I want to use this is at work I have access to my private wifi around my desk and corp wifi around the office

The corp wifi blocks access to certain content so by prioritizing my private wifi the phone would stay connected to it unless it loses coverage and then it would switch to the corp wifi and vice versa

I tried a bunch of apps I could find and none seem to work too well. I know some versions of CM had something like this but cant seem to find anyway to do this properly on stock ROMs which I figure would be a good feature

Any suggestions would be welcome

Tried the app again to see if I missed something and it pretty much has nothing from what im looking for. There is no option to prioritize specific SSID. You can prioritize 5Ghz or setup specific signal thresholds but what im talking about is an app that will prioritize SSID

So for example if I have WIFI 1 and WIFI 2 both have great signal but I prefer WIFI 1 unless it has no service then and only then it will goto WIFI 2. Once I go back in the coverage area for WIFI 1 it switches back
