[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mugiwara7:
Hi

I am stuck with Pulsing blue LED and the "Powered by Android" screen,

have access to both the recovery and the Odin Mode,

I also have Odin (version 3.13) on my computer along with TWRP (3.1.1 trlte and 3.2.1 version)

My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F bought in shop, no special carrier. It was bought in Belgium.

I have tried everything that I have read. The furthest that I can go is the Second Samsung Logo with the Flashing Light

Whenever I try to Flash the stock Firmware for my N910F, everything goes well in Odin but then when the phone reboots, it (sometimes) install the system update until 30% then shows erasing then either crashes right there and then or load the system update bar, completes it then shuts down.

In between I do perform a wipe of the cache and factory reset of course. (in both normal and TWRP recovery)

Whatever I do, at some point, my phone either gets stuck in a bootloop, freezes with the LED light or shuts down.

Oh and I can transfer files directly to the internal storage with no issue

Please help a brother out lol. I have spent the last 4 days looking for a way to fix this. To no avail.

And I have also proceeded to use different batteries.

hi guys i want to buy a new battery because mine is becoming old.

i was looking online for a new battery and i came across many different brand of aftermarket battery for the nexus 6p and i was wondering:

1st, is it possible to find a better battery or should i just buy OEM? if it is possible to find a better battery, which one should i buy?

also, some have a higher mAh does that mean they are better?

THANKS GUYS!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zustand:
sadly the situation isn't that simple. huawei never officially sold genuine aftermarket batteries to consumers.

but there are various replica from different companies and somehow huawei oem through various channels (can include used ones).

they differ in:

- capacity (mAh)/weight (g)

- size of the connector ribbon (thick = good, thin = can cause unexpected reboots, because insufficient power/current could be provided for 'intense' actions like processing a hdr picture)

- temperature sensor (yes = good, no = definitely no advantage in matters of quick-charging, because the SoC can't throttle power/current according to battery temperature to prevent overheating. although never heard any stories about explosions, but shouldn't be good for overall battery-life and could probably be avoided if just not using quick-charge)

additionally some companies modified their batteries over time to some extent (removed temperature sensor, changed capacity, ...) and the pictures in shops online aren't always completely accurate.

but in the 'Accessories'-Subforum there is a huge thread 'OEM battery' with tons of information (https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/accessories/oem-battery-t3534410).

there you should find help, good luck it's not impossible :)

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] festor:
Can anyone confirm what would be the best model for someone in the UK?

I need to return an H820 due to multiple issues. Lots of minor problems had a fix or workaround, but the deal breakers were the blocked updates (thanks AT&T) and no 3g connection for some reason. It’s listed as supporting 2100MHz, but 3g isn’t an option in the settings. Even when using the V10 Hidden Settings app to force 3g it won’t connect. It doesn’t even see 3g providers with a manual search. 2g and 4g were fine though but I have patchy 4g coverage in my area… at best.

Anyway, I was looking at the H850 as it's the European version, but it appears it’s actually lagging behind carrier models for updates. Some aren’t getting OTA or LG Bridge updates for some reason. It’s a shame because I quite liked the phone otherwise and being a great spec and generally unloved makes it good value IMHO.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] festor:
Maybe someone can confirm if they are successfully using any version in the UK?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ErrorNull:
I have the H850 model with vodafone sim and it works great with 4g.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] festor:
Thanks for the info :good:

Do you know if you get good (or any) 3g reception? Also, what version/patch date is android on your phone?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ErrorNull:
Version 20S_00 I think the patch is from November 2017. I usually get 4g reception and only occasionally 3g reception. Although LG have confirmed Oreo is coming to the G5, recently. Also the reception is going to be dependent on your provider and your area, the phone works great on any network.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] festor:
Thanks again. 3g reception is very good in my area (poor 4g) and works perfectly with several providers and other handsets. The H820 didn’t offer 3g in the settings for some reason. I tried the V10 Hidden Settings app (see below) to unlock the option and when 3g was forced it refused to connect at all. Hopefully it’s not an issue with the H850.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g5/help/network-mode-missing-t3578836

November 17 patch is a bit of a worry though… did you decline a more recent update? The only reason I ask is because there seems to be a lot of owners who just stop getting updates on eligible models and LG wash their hands of the problem. A big draw for me would be the ongoing updates and possibility of Oreo.

UPDATE

I did it :)

I bought a digitizer from ebay 17$ shipped versus 50$ for a lcd combo.

Arrived in a week from hogkong, wrapped in toilet paper (unused) with a screwdriver (wrong size) and a plastic opening tool (kinda useful).

I took apart the phone using the instructions, you can find them online if you google for them.

I removed the LCD-digitizer combo. Now the tricky part:

removing the digitizer is hard, it is very well glued/taped to the screen. Mine was broke so after I removed the plastic sheet(the actual digitizer) I had to remove piece by piece all the glass. It was a little war on my desk that resulted in a little scratch on my screen but in the end I did it.

removing the connection tape is not hard, the connector is just attached.

I set the new digitizer in place, insert the ribbon through that hole (actually I had to remove the metal back from the screen to do that).

I taped the new ribbon. And it didn't work. I read somewhere that you have to solder it back but I don't have such a device and buying one defeated the purpose of spending all this time taking that screen apart.

So I carefully clean the connector, set it in place and taped it again. Didn't work again. But I noticed that if I putt some pressure on it the it works.

so I put a bunch of tape there and when I put the phone back together it worked.

Time: about 4 hours of work. But it is my first time I took a phone apart , and I kept loosing screws and all sorts of adventures.

It's not really worth it, more likely I broke something else, i had a hard time reconnecting the keyboard, I actually had to cut a pice from the keyboard ribbon because of the faulty contacts but IT was a fun project. I was debating between a new phone and fixing this, and i decided that if I screw it completely it doesn't matter, and i guess I had some good luck. If you guys have any questions, I know i should have take pictures, but I forgot, you can email me at hpgchi@gmail.com.

Thank you for all the help I got on this site.

I broke my screen (Tmobile Wing) but I guess I cracked only the touch screen, not the LCD. The phone works, the LCd works, only the screen does not responde to any touching.

I found LCD screen replacements (~50$ shipped) but I also found the touch screen only replacements (~20$ shipped). Does anybody know if Only the touch part of the screen can be replaced? I never took my phone apart. Is the screen combo made from two layers that can be separated?

Thank you for your help.

Cracked LCD/Touch Screen-Wing?

Hi: Just now read your post..Am I understanding that I don't need to buy the "LCD" screen for $45.00 and only need the touch screen that sells for $17.00? If so, then the cracked part underneath the plastic on my Wing is fixable? My phone still rings and is answerable but I cannot call out using the screen. The backlight etc. is still working and I just bought this so I am looking for a cheaper repair. Thankx

I think I can replace just the touch screen if the glass underneath the top plastic is cracked..(In a hurry to visit Halloween Horror Nights @ Universal Studios and ran over it:eek:) The phone still receives calls but the screen is white and when touched turns the cracks black, the backlight is still active, the qwerty is fine etc...So.................do I need the LCD or just the Touch Screen?

digitizer replacement

hello. I original got my wing with a broken LCD, I replaced it with no problems and it worked fine. I have since broken the glass on the digitizer. The digitizer glass from my old LCD was not broken, it is now that I tried to remove it from the broken LCD.

Also, there are two different types of digitizers. one the ribbon cable is on the right, the other is on the left. The LCD[with digitizer] I purchased had the ribbon cable for the digitizer on the opposite side. It worked great until I broke it.

So, my question is: If I purchase a digitizer from eBay, does it come with the glass or is it just the plastic digitizer itself?

Thank you in advance,

1LLvj

The replacement digitizer off ebay works ONLY when I push the ribbon hard against the lcd screen ribbon where it attaches. What is the way to stick it that it connects and conducts power as it suppose to? I tried the taping method without success as noted by the 1st post.

Solder it... but you've pointed out that you can't or won't do this already. I don't know of any electrically conductive glues (especially trying to glue the ribbon cable in place without shorting itself out)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] DaMadOne:
I've have my 2XL since October 21. I've had ZAGG glass curve on it since nearly day one. I've just cracked my third one. None of the times I've cracked it I've dropped it. Both times I've pulled it out of my pocked and noticed a chip in the middle on the side and it spiders out from there over the next few days. I've had glass protectors on my last couple of phones (S4, Moto X Pure) and never had issues with either of them cracking. Sure I replaced due to wear over time, but never because they broke.

I'm not sending Zagg another $10 for a new one. So I'm wondering how the factory glass holds up. Can I just go naked? Is it just the crappy edge only adhesive on the zagg curve? Looking for other peoples experiences and willing to listen to any advice others may have. I'm going to be pissed scratching up the factory screen and I really don't think I can go back to a "film" type protector.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jasonstackhouse:
I have given up on screen protectors for this device.

The only ones that cover the entire device are made from plastic/rubber (aka liquid skin) lol. These make no sense, they offer no actual protection to the screen and they feel like crap and look just as bad on the device.

Than you have the tempered glass protectors. You have the option of partial screen coverage, which also ruins the aesthetics of the curved glass. Or you can get the "full coverage" option that claims to have "3d, curved glass". This is by far the worst option available. These manufactures of this garbage even go as far to list serious flaws of their design as selling points in their descriptions. The most glaring examples being, "with Dot Matrix" and "updated adhesive" This is so ridiculous, the "updated adhesive" is just horrible glue that they use on the top and bottom edges of the protector and the "dot matrix" is a full coverage of spaced out semi clear dots that are sold as being added for extra touch sensitivity, when in reality the dots are only added because the screen protector is not actually curved glass, it is flat glass connected to a top and bottom edge made of black plastic. The curved plastic edges are black for one, if they were actually glass that means they painted or tinted the top and bottom edges for no reason other than to have wasted money. And because there are 3 pieces to the protector, with the top and bottom responsible for adhering the protector to the screen, the "dot matrix" is needed because the middle piece is not actually mated to the screen. Any quality screen protector claiming to be tempered glass, does not need a dot matrix and is fully adhered to the screen with a clear silicone adhesive.

in conclusion, the pixel 2 xl has corning gorilla glass 5, this is the best glass currently available on the market. So being as none of the protectors available actually protect against cracked or broken displays, there is no need to waste your time with a screen protector. the only thing that the horrible protectors actually offer is scratch resistance, so unless you keep your phone in your pocket with coins all the time don't bother wasting your time or money on a screen protector.

1°: Have you saved the rom, gapps and firmware in your Computer?

2°:If yes, go to your phone, in TWRP you will go to the "reboot" and then "recovery" session, your phone will restart and start TWRP automatically.

3°: Connect your phone to the computer and pass the rom, gapps and firmware to the phone's internal storage and install the rom.
