[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SkunkyGwen:
Long story short...I got my Tilt like a week and a half ago. Last night in the dark, I went to soft rest my phone, but instead stuck the stylus into the USB charge port. :mad:The pin connector spit in the middle and now one part of the pin connector on the phone is lower than the other. Eventually and after continual use, this pin will cease to function and I will be unable to active sync my phone or charge my battery. I have flashed to Dutty's 6.1 and love it. I no longer have the original ATT ROM.

I have checked with repair places and even ATT&T.

My question is this- Should I just buy another ATT&T tilt phone and lick my wounds (Seriously thinking about it) OR would it be better to just flash back to the original ATT&T ROM and then send it back to ATT&T for a replacement. I think by flashing Dutty’s ROM, it voids the phone, right? And of the latter method, reflashing back to ATT ROM, how difficult would this be? I was able to completely install Dutty’s ROM and all facets (even my sound and camera issues post) reading the posts on here so I figure it can’t be much harder to go back to the original ATT&T ROM. But then I think of how lazy I am and the amount of reading it took this noob to sift through just to be able to install Dutty’s 6.1 and somehow the money spent buying a new phone and forgoing all the work, is also appealing to me.

I would have posted this in the Kaiser Upgrading forum, but oddly, it’s missing.

Reverting Back

Will do. I am going to see what I can get done in person at the ATT&T store this evening. If that fails, next step will be the Idiots Guide to Restoring your Phone. I had seen that when I was flashing Dutty's and never thought I would need it. Never say never.

Thanks

It may just be bent. You can try to gently bend it back into shape. Does it charge at all? I did the sanme thing & lost USB to PC & automotive charging only. I hope you didn't already tell AT&T you did this.

I called them after bending back into shape VERY GENTLY & told the that it charged at home via A/C but not via USB to PC or in the car. They told me that was impossible. I took it into the store, they verified it, & AT&T sent me a brand new one.

Just gingerly put it back into shape & call them back & say "my phone only charges from the A/C charger. I even took it into a store & the salesguy tried a new car charger & even in his vehicle. It won't work"

They will replace it & won't charge you. (if you can make it look semi-normal again) I've suggested this to several others & non of them have been charged either.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
BTW,

If you have HardSPL you can flash back using the SD card & return it clean!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SkunkyGwen:
What to do....

Hmm...What to do. What to do. I was hoping to just go into the store and be like, hey, what gives. I’ve had my phone less than two weeks and this morning when I unplugged my phone, look what happened, and show it to the salesman hoping he will take pity on me and believe my convoluted story that it just "broke" really. Add to that the phone being so, so new and it's worth a try right? :cool:

As far as gently bending back the pins. I have taken a closer look at the USB port it looks like the break starts on the far RIGHT end of the port between the last pin and second to last pin. The break is right in-between those two pins right down the middle. For an even closer look, I broke out my Surefire U2and a magnifying glass.It looks like the plastic piece is holding the pins in place even though there is a slit in the plastic on the right side. The phone charges currently and does sync with the computer, but for how long? I am afraid that if I gently bend the plastic piece back into place, it will only compound the problem, but if I am considering purchasing another phone anyway, what do I have to lose, right?

UPDATE: It's the plastic piece, not the pins which is in need of repair. I mean, the pins are connected to the plastic piece and the pins are still intact, but the plastic piece cannot be gently pushed back up because it will aggravate the crack already there and I am trying to preserve what little integrity of the phone and pins is left in terms of charging/syncing, etc until I get another phone. I guess the bright side to all of this is that I would have extra Tilt phone for parts with the exception of the USB port from the old phone to alleviate any future problems I cause to my own detriment and also as a way to hedge against my stupid ideas because as these mount, my bank account grows ever smaller.

I’ll let you know how it goes at the ATT&T store.

As I recall from your original thread, you are an attractive woman. Without sounding hopelessly out of touch (read chauvinistic), use that to your advantage.:p Heck, you could probably walk into Radioshack and get one of the geeks (er, I mean clerks) to give you anything for free. Imagine him that night texting his friends, "you'll never believe this, but I talked to an actual girl today, live and in person."

He would be a god to his friends and you would have what you wanted.

Seriously, if you walked into an AT&T store and told them your phone is only two weeks old and the USB port broke, why wouldn't they do a warranty exchange?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SkunkyGwen:
Why - I'll tell ya why

Becasue I flashed my phone to Dutty's 6.1 which voids the warranty. Yes. I can flash back to the original OEM and then return, but I am going to try the lazy route first. I'll let you know how it goes.

~Gwen
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
Hmmm. the lazy route....Isn't that what you wrote against in your "pat myself on the back any harder & I might fall over" post? :p

Also, there are currently 2 different types of USB ports on the device. On the fist you can see little square openings in each pin location (probably the one you have). Then there is one that is completely solid & more sturdy, this one is also usually associatwed with a tighter connection & from my experience can be bent back into shape.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cediesaid:
umm....where to start....how about i have had att send me about 4 tilts.....i have had different issues and im not one to sit there and have it fixed etc, that is what my warranty is for so therefore i call it and have it replaced....i had the exact same issue that youhad. although i was able to bend it back and have it fixed no problem, it wasn't enough as i felt eventually it could become a problem. so they replaced it after i explained to them my issues. the only other related problem is please don't use other chargers (motorolas etc) as i am not sure if this has been addressed, but they have been known to burn and melt the piece in there and therefore not letting it charge at all on anything. just an fyi.

but yeah when it comes to att for anyone that is an att customer out there, if you don't know by now, you can get any phone you want. im not about scaming people etc, but at the same time if i am not satisfied to the slighests about something on this phone, that i came out of the pocket big time for, im going to call and have it replaced asap or as long as my warranty says it exists.

some did you knows that my sis "customer service rep for att 6 years"

you can have them send you out another phone, inform them you didnt get it, and they just send another (how dumb!!!)

if you have a discontinued or downgraded phone, going through warranty about 3 times will let you have a one time courtesy make and model change...i went from the 8525 to the tile for free.....yes for free!

just some fyi's folks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AllTheWay:
If your within 30 days of when you purchased it you can simply return it and get another device. If they hassle you simply return it and then the next day go back in a purchase another one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I agree, this should be cake to return for a replacement, you could even get an advanced replacement via Fed-Ex in a day by phone which I did last year with an 8525.

After all that hard work, see, you should'nt had sex with it, or at least left the stylus out of the frey....

Truthfully, I watch a lot of streaming video at night using Slingbox on my Kaiser, and have come very close to the same disaster myself, feel for ya.

Just be sure and do a good backup to SD so the re-flash and restore of the new box will be painless ;)

Got a new phone amd I still have my dignity

:DUPDATE –

Well. I went back to ATT&T and they were really busy. Prior to getting there, I cleared everything personal off, did a hard reset followed by a soft reset and drained the battery completely. I put everything back into the box and removed the battery and the battery door and closed the box. They never turned on the phone or anything like that. I simply gave them my online receipt which they made a copy and then the guy came our and gave me brand new phone. I never even flashed back to the original ATT&T ROM. I just did the above and returned it.

So this saga closes and another opens. My latest saga is trying to find a hack to change the MMS attachment settings. On my old tilt with Dutty’s 6.1, I had no problem taking and sending videos in MMS or even SMS. Now, I get the, this file is too large to attach or whatever. I checked under the MMS options on the phone, but all that is listed is 300k on the drop down menu. I have searched the forums and even tried a couple of cabs to no avail. I am thinking it has to be a simple setting. After searching the forum for a total of 16 hours the last two days and trying the various cabs and settings in my phone, I cannot get the damn attachment settings above 300k so any video over 8 seconds, I get the File to large to attach, blah, blah, blah. If I record for 4 seconds, it attaches. WTF? :confused:

Mine did that in January. Just stopped working on car charging, but ok on the AC charger. Called at&t, they sent me a new one. Did yours look something like

this? Top pic was the old one, bottom pic the replacement.

Also note at the bottom of the broken connector, the metal has separated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brianlau:
Mine looks exactly like that. Same issue. Called ATT and told them it only worked while being plugged into the charger that came with the Tilt, but also told them it worked sporadically, and even though it always worked while connected to a PC I told them it only worked half the time to ensure that I would get a new Tilt. Its really easy to have them change this but you CANNOT say at all, that the connector looks damaged in any way, just bend it back to make it look straight and everyone should be fine. The guy tried to trick me into saying that I broke it but I wouldnt give in. They are sending me out a new phone this week and was wondering if anyone had theirs replaced did they have it replaced with the new Mini USB port of the old one? ie new one has no gap between the connects where as the new one does not.

[Android Head-Units] packetjunkie:
I'm currently using the Pumpkin 8.0 unit and I really like it - however, the process of when I get in my truck is not nearly as simple as I would like it to be and usually involves several minutes of having to stop-start personal hotspot on my iphone (or unlock the screen) and then often opening the wifi settings, sometimes seeing an authorization error that clears up on the next attempt. It's never the same process, seems like there are several things that happen different to get in the way of it just happening.

I have an iPhone 8 Plus I dont use very often that I was just keeping in there with Personal Hotspot turned on, which seems to stay on for a day without turning off. But I usually have to unlock it to get it to show up in the wifi section. Should I disable the lock, would that make a difference? What about using my Galaxy S7, would that be "easier", I havent really tired messing with it yet since that is my main phone.

What hotspot solutions do people use in their setups to avoid the "process" of getting online?
[Android Head-Units] intruda119:
Assuming Android would be much easier. The quickest way I can turn it on off is with bixby with note 8.

Since I'm not rooted I couldn't get Tasker to automate it. I tried nfc tags also. Eventually bixby was my solution.

I'll follow the thread for other recommendations
[Android Head-Units] ste2002:
I also tried NFC tag, but for some reason cellular data can not be switched ON by NFC soft on non-rooted phone (it's OK with WiFi hotspot) - keeping this down during day helps to save battery.
[Android Head-Units] packetjunkie:
I tried the NFC tag and while I dont turn off cellular data, I was disappointed to learn from the developer that the API to turn on and off hotspots was removed by Google and is not supported in 3rd party apps. I put the quick setting in my drop down notification screen, so at least I can turn it on and off easily. I'm going to try the android phone for a couple days and see if its just another reason for me to dislike apple.
[Android Head-Units] Ben.suffolk:
So I have noticed that this is only an issue after the device wakes from sleep via the fast boot. If you reboot the head unit for real it connects first time with no issues.

It also seems happy to connect to real wifi networks without any issues. I don't have an android phone so have not been able to try that, but it would be good to know others findings. I'm not sure how the iPhone hot spot works but it must differ slightly to a normally wifi base station.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overclockxp:
I have a couple of LG V10s that have bootlooped. I'm either going to have to buy a new phone this weekend or send the V10s to LG for repair. How are the repaired devices? Has anyone had any bootloop or other issues with your fixed/replacement phones from LG?

Thanks!
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raj_The_Ripper:
LG will only replace the motherboard, so it will still have the risk of bootloop. Though you can try sending it for repair, they will pay the shipping cost so it is no loss for you.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbat:
I have one bootlooping as hell. I suggest you and everyone in the world to Forget about LG and never buy an LG phone anymore, they suck, they don't care about their customers. I hate them, their service sucks as hell.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] :
Hi guys,

I just left the Apple for the droid world (Honor 9 C432). I used to change my phone rom using cutom rom int the past (far far away...) like 8 years ago on an HTC...

But now on my honor 9 i'm a bit lost on the steps i have to follow to put custom rom.

My needs is to leave EMUI to an official android rom (oreo) or lighter (maybe RROS or lineage).

Is there a full guide that explains step by step the proceed to change the stock rom to a custom one ?

As always, thanks for help.

Aqwel.

Well i just come back from my ophthalmologist and it seems that my eyes are ok.

If i ask it's because i don't understand the steps order, sometimes i see i have to backup before doing unlock bootloader and to backup i need to install TWRP but to install TWRP i need to unlock...

In the past i used to have full guide like for example :

To custom you need :

A memory SD card at least X GB

A PC with Windows or OSx or whatever

Those softwares (dl link)

1/ Unlock mobile blablabla

2/ install this softwares

3/....

Thanks for helping.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] fregor:
Try asking in the ROM specific threads. The existing guides are what they are.

Usually, you need som sort of basic phone modification know-how before you take on XDA forums.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] :
Ok thank you fregor, i search on the net for tutorial i have find some to learn basics but they were wrotte 6 months ago and some deals with EMUI 5.

Does they still valid for EMUI 8. ?

Thanks
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] sonneper:
I would say : yes on the main lines, not in the details. the name of the image ( system , boot, recovery..... ) is not the same, for example.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
If you're going to change rom, go for Oreo...

I suggest you begin with OldDroid's thread on how to install Oreo (it's in this section as well) to update to EMUI 8.

Then, if you want to really leave stock, after you're on EMUI 8 it's as easy as downloading a file and using a fastboot command on your computer. You have RR (Android 8.1) or AOSP (Android 8.0), both threads are in the development section.

One very important thing, not only you have to unlock your bootloader (which takes you a couple of minutes) but you have to unlock FRP (translation - Go to Developer Settings and toggle Allow OEM Unlock)

I suggest you do this first, then setup a Huawei account and go to the official website to unlock your H9, fill up the required info and you will have the code and the extremely noob-friendly instructions on how do the thing.
