[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Hello guys,

I woke up too early this morning, and i accidentally knocked my phone off the stairs. It fell about 2 meters, bounced and then fell another meter, bounced and fell another meter and stopped.

Thankfully it was in a silicon case (i think that's what made it bounce) and there are no visible damages.

I picked it up, and it seemed to be working. After a few secs it went into sleep mode and would not wake up.

I removed the battery and rebooted, and i got the HTC screen, then the nexus boot screen and it stays stuck on the nexus boot.

I then entered recovery mode and thought i would try and restore my backup. I get the following message:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(No such file or directory)

E: Can't mount /sdcard

I took off the SD card, put it my pc and it works just fine.

I got another SD card, copied a rom onto it and tried to reinstall through recovery.

I did a wipe/data factory reset and tried to install the rom.

I got the same message...

Is my Desire toast? It's only six months old... :(

I was running Defrost6.1 and using psfMod 0.9.7.2 as my recovery.

Any advice would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks

aalex

UPDATE

I did another wipe data / factory reset, and i rebooted.

The rom starts up, without any of my previous settings of course, but I still cannot mount my SD card.

From file manager, it seems that it is being mounted, but no files are listed...

When i try with gallery it reports "SD card unmounted or not present".

Any insights?
[Desire General] Daanlt:
Drop it again, it helps
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
That's a helpful suggestion, thanks
[Desire General] mclaren2:
Can u mount the SD card as usb storage in clockwork recovery?

Also try to boot it up normal and

Wait till the battery dies. Then insert the SD card and try again to boot it (with usb cable connected to have some battery power) again.

Gd luck
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Thanks for responding mclaren2,

I tried to mount as usb storage, it seems that it mounts, my pc picks up an additional drive but when i double click on this drive it just says that it cannot be read...
[Desire General] ste1164:
With your SD card in your phone go into settings then storage and unmount SD card. Then format your SD card from your phones menu and it should mount the SD card see if that worked.
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Hi ste1164,

Thanks for responding. My problem is that my phone cannot pickup the existence of an SD card.
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
This is a typical USB-brick. I've had one a few weeks ago. You should look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639&highlight=usb+brick.

If you're new to this, it can be hard to get it working again. Just let me know if you have any problems. It took me a few hours to get it done ;)
[Desire General] 3722:
From fastboot via ADB, execute "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" and then reboot it with "fastboot reboot" command.

See if it works.

If you don't remember how to do the above, just search.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
its not a usb brick, thats a software brick.... it sounds to me like you have a corrupt sd card, sd cards are very delecate and this can happen from a sudden impact, try formatting the card in windows explorer, obviously you cannot format your sd-ext using windows so try gparted or ubuntu to format your other partition.
[Desire General] Hilarium:
he switched sd cards and it still doensn't fix the problem
[Desire General] mercianary:
Can't be sdcard, op said tried sdcard in PC and tried different sdcard...same result, must be sdcard reader or something.

You never know, might be a USB brick, just happened before the drop and was brought on by the reset...but I agree probably is hardware fault.

Is it possible to flash stock rom from fastboot without sdcard? Could try warranty repair then...
[Desire General] AndroHero:
sorry i didnt notice that, could be a usb brick but like i said thats S/W related and i doubt dropping your phone could cause such an error, +1 suppose the sudden reset could cause the usb brick especially if the device was reading or writing to the sd card when it happened, could also be the sd card reader in the device has been damaged or one of the internal components. can the device read the sim card? if it dosent, could be a usb brick
[Desire General] mercianary:
Just a thought...is the sdcard reader attached by a ribbon? (never seen the inside of my desire, hope I never have to)

I'm sure I've heard of a few desires that can't read sdcard anymore, I reckon it's either attached by ribbon or it's the most delicate part of the phone.

I'm hoping it's a loose ribbon because that's an easy fix, even I could do that.
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Hey guys,

Thanks to all of you for responding.

My sim card works just fine. I can make and receive calls, texts, go online via 3g and Wifi, connect through bluetooth. As far as i can tell, my phone does everythind it did before except mount an SD card. Also, the android market keeps crashing, and if i try and download anything from the net i get a prompt saying that i need an sd card to download.

So far I took the SD card and put it in my pc. I formated it, tried again but it didnt work.

I then tried a brand new sd card and that didn't work either.

However, I did not format the old card's ext2 partition, and the new sd doesn't have an ext partition yet.

Would this point to a USB Brick as mentioned above?

Would it be possible for me to flash the stock rom on the device?

Thanks once again, to all of you.

[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Although i don't really understand what this means, could it be a possible solution?

If yes, how would i go about implementing it?
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
Yes, that should solve your problem. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, but that included a malfunctioning usb, even charging didn't work correctly.

To fix the sd-card, you should run the above command using the tool fastboot, available in the Android sdk. After downloading, cd to the tools folder in the sdk and then run the command while your phone is connected to your pc in fastboot mode. Then it should work again.
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Hey koenvbeek,

Thanks for the help. I think i may need a bit more of it :)

Here is what i did so far:

I used Nephrons guide to download and install ADB.

I then rebooted to bootloader. The phone displays "fastboot" and then when i plug it in it dispalys fastboot-usb

I then went to the ADB tools directory and tried to run the command.

I got a message saying the command cannot be run because adbwinapi.dll is missing from my system, and asking me to reinstall everything...

Clearly i made a mistake somewhere but where?
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
I don't think you made a mistake :D

Either the requested file is missing, or it can't be used by your computer. First check if the file is present. If not, google for it.

If it is present, your computer can't use it for some reason. Are you on a 64-bit OS? If you're on Vista/7: did you open the cmd promt as admin?
[Desire General] 3722:
Yeah, nothing wrong, it's just that the API library is missing.

Download it from the attachment here, and put it in the "tools" folder, then try again.

Edit: As you can see it's in an archive, since dll attachment is not enabled here, so extract the file from it.
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Hi and thanks for uploading the dll for me!

I tried and succesfully run the command.

I then run the fastboot reboot command

Sadly my phone still refuses to mount any sd.

I think that the fall busted my sd reader...

I fear that i will end up with an overpriced 5inch pad with 15megs of memory...
[Desire General] 3722:
Yes, I would have been slightly amazed if it got fixed with a software solution, since the phone hardware very likely have been damaged by the fall :/ .

Maybe you should look for how to repair it now, even if you have to pay, it's way better than to be stuck with a handicaped device.
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
Before sending it for repair, i would try to flash an ruu, since it flashes every bit of the device. Maybe it still solves the problem, but i dont think your chances are good.
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Hey koenvbeek, thanks for being there for me!

Ideally, what i would like to do is somehow flash everything, and if possible reinstall the stock rom.

But how would i do that without an SD card? Can i flash a stock rom over usb?

Btw, does anybody have an idea as to how much it might cost to repair the Desire?
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
You should download this RUU: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4a4027/n/RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe. It's the official WWE Froyo rom.

source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

Connect your phone in fastboot mode, and then run the ruu. It will flash everything except de sd-card to stock. So it will unroot your phone and flash it to stock.

I've no idea what repairing your phone costs.
[Desire General] 3722:
It will flash it to stock if he is not branded, though.

And if you are branded you can't apply that WWE ROM, since you can't use a goldcard.

So in that case you should apply your branded RUU.
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
Thanks 3722 for correcting my advice. I had forgotten about branded Desires ^^
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Thanks for the advice guys. Thankfully it is not branded :)

Question: If i go back to the stock rom, will I be able to re-unroot the phone if i need to? I had used unrooted the first time.
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
Well, if you run the RUU, it will be back to stock. I'm not sure if the latest update is rootable, but the rom you get from the RUU is rootable for sure. Just in case: don't update after flashing the ruu.
[Desire General] mikep99:
It is rootable so no problems there.
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Thanks for everything guys. I will try and get in touch with HTC tomorrow

I will post back when i have new developments
[Desire General] mwheller:
I'm having a very similar problem. My SD card reader seems completely unresponsive.

I have tried 3 different SD cards, tried formatting them all with both the Windows formatting tool and the Panasonic tool. Also tried the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" fix, and several factory resets. PCs read the cards absolutely fine.

However, I keep being told to insert an SD card at the Camera screen etc, and settings just says "Unavailable" under the "SD & Phone Storage" menu for total and available space.

I've never rooted my Desire and never really had any other problems with it. I did notice that before it stopped working I had it connected to a PC and unplugged without "safely" disconnecting first, but I would have thought several factory resets later this won't make a difference.

Did you get anywhere with this? I've contacted HTC to be told to send it to be repaired and that it would take 10 days. Was planning to wait till after the Christmas period post problems, but wouldn't mind keeping hold of it and fixing it here.

I tried to open it up and have a look at the SD card reader, but the reader seems to be all one sealed unit. The SD card still clicks in fine as it always has, and there's nothing obviously wrong with it.
[Desire General] koenvbeek:
If you never rooted it or customized it, you should just send it for repair. It is definately not your fault that it's not working properly, so HTC should fix it for you.
[Desire General] aalexandrou:
Hey guys,

I had a word with HTC repairs, and i decided to wait until the christmas post rush ends, and send it in for a repair in the new year...

mwheller, if you never rooted it, or dropped it or done anything bad with it, then go back to where you bought it and tell them that it doesn't work. Normally they should replace it or repair it for free.
[Desire General] chiekurz:
Well, I can tell, for sure, that if your device doesn't have any noticeable fall damage, then you should claim for warranty and I am 100% sure, it will be fixed free of charge. :) You might be lucky you got your silicon case on.

I had more or less the same issue as you, only I got issue with AMOLED. It just weren't turning on. I sent it to HTC and got it fixed within 2 weeks. So wish you my best luck here.

every night i charge my phone and when it says its fully charged i look at the batter indicator and it is only charged to 96 and wont go higher...also i have terrible battery life i cant go through the whole day without having to charge it atleast twice.

any one know whats the problem or anyone having a similar issue and would like to share any thoughts?...thanks.

Calibrate your battery

[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Happens to us all I think.But I have seen 100%, very rare.When I first noticed it not charging to 100%, I would turn off the phone,plug in,wait for full indicator,unplug wait 30sec,plug in again,wait for indicator,unplug and reapeat.After all that would only see 98% when I booted up.So when I say its rare to see 100% believe me.I actually now change my framework-res.apk 95-99% battery icons to 100% icons in every single rom I use just to see 100%,and Im not kidding.But when it drops from 100% to 94% in a second while Im using it is kinda depressing,ha...and calibrating the battery does not help this.
[Epic 4G General] jojo08:
also make sure you are doing the airplane mode toggle, what is your time without signal under cell standby? (go into about phone, battery use)
[Epic 4G General] readermo:
Can you elaborate on this (for fools like myself)? is there a trick involving airplane mode that improves battery life?

also, i've tried calibrating my battery, but when i choose "wipe battery stats" in recovery, nothing happens. any ideas?

thanks!
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
You shouldn't see anything happen when u clear battery stats. (if you're not doing this already) it's recommended that you charge to 100%, then clear stats, let drain to 0%, then charge back to 100%

Sent from the future.
[Epic 4G General] jojo08:
If u go to settings, about phone, battery use, cell standby, it should show time without signal and it shouldn't be more than in the teens...if its like 50% u need to toggle airplane mode and that should go down and improve battery life...there's a thread on this site about it...
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Take a look at this article I recently read. It does a great job explaining how batteries, chargers, and battery meters work on our phones. also does a good job of explaining why it's ok our phones only charge to 97%, or immediately drop when we unplug them.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexbob1318:
Hey All

I'm completely new to Android and so far I'm liking it quite a lot.

I bought an unlocked Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant GT-i9000M and am using it on the Telstra network in Australia.

I am not rooted and have the proper Kies 2.2 update. I am using the 'Gingerbread theme' and Advanced task killer to make sure I have almost nothing open.

First issue: GPS

I have tried the fixes that don't require rooting, example changing the SUPL (or whatever it is) but it still takes ages to get a fix, and sometimes it shows me several suburbs away.

Second issue: Battery life

This is my second day with it, I am using it quite frequently, medium-high battery life. My battery is already down to 8% and the battery uptime shows as 7 hours 48 minutes, with display being the big killer at 94%. Display is on lowest, WiFi is on, 3G data is off, GPS & bluetooth are also turned off.

I have nothing except Yahoo Mail doing push email, but have no idea how to change this anyway. But yeah, one app shouldn't give it bad battery life.

Is it just me or is that battery life fairly crap? I've seen on this forum people getting 2-3 days so I can hardly get one day that's all. I just want to make my move from 5 years with iPhone to Android nice and buttery smooth :)

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeBear:
Did you ever open the gallery? Theres a bug with the Gallery program that makes the sensor not turn off even after you close the program. That drains the battery. You can use SGS Tools from the market to replace the Gallery 3D with a version that doesn't have the sensor bug.

I've narrowed down the long list of problems that i had with my streak but one very annoying is still remaining.

Every few minutes i lose my internet connection and i have to disable WIFI and re-enable it in order to get it back to work. I even did a factory reset but same thing.

I have been reading about this from a lot of users. Has anyone figure out a way to fix this?
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Never heard of it, are you sure you don't have a problem with conflicting ip addresses on your network?
[Streak 5 General] slekkas:
No, I'm a network engineer:).

If you do a search you will find a lot of posts about this. I surf the net just fine and all of the sudden no internet. Connection is there. The ip is correct, but no internet. Switch wifi on/off and it starts to work again. Very annoying. I suspect it has to do with the signal strength. Is there a fix to boost your wifi performance?
[Streak 5 General] Volcanodancer:
Nope, not had that one here too.

Can not explain, I just try to do so. dell is the time stability of the patch on the wifi.
[Streak 5 General] Nosfrat:
I made some search. This problem happens only with 802.1x networks (WPA2 Enterprise). It's a problem of Froyo. The bugged file is /system/bin/wpa_supplicant. Some people reported that replacing this file with the one of Android 2.1 solve the problems.

I confirm that I have this problem only with the eduroam network at my university, which is a 802.1x network. No problem for open networks or at home (WPA2 Personnal).
[Streak 5 General] pappyfire:
I have had this issue since I got the Streak, even on 1.6. My home network is open - no problem with security issues, I live WAY in the boonies. For some reason, WiFi drops the connection and I get the little networks are available but not connected icon. I disable and re-enable WiFi and it connects back up by itself. Router is a Linksys and the channel is fixed not auto so there shouldn't be channel swapping. Sure is a PIA.
[Streak 5 General] slekkas:
I have the exact same symptoms and I'm also using a Linksys router.
[Streak 5 General] 312:
Glad this thread is up. I went as far as replacing my router with a Netgear WNDR3700. I had the problem BEFORE AND AFTER rooting and I've always been on 1.6.

So:

It's not a rooting problem

It's not a router problem

It's not a Froyo problem

Manufacture defect maybe? :confused:
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
router issue

I don't so much have a wi-fi issue as a couple of netgear routers causing a glitch.

I have mine locked down with mac addressing a wpa-psk (tkip) at home and on my wireless router in the shop at work. If I leave, I leave the wi-fi on my phone, I'll grab a free wifi signal around town, and sometimes when I get back to the work or home router, it won't connect until I reboot the router. Even after dumping the profile on the phone, connecting & entering the password again, it won't connect.

Goofy, isn't it?
[Streak 5 General] jbirney:
I have this too on the Dell 2.2 official and on Steve's 1.5 and 1.5.1
