hi guys, like a week ago i lost my g1 and now im looking for a replacement... im not a noob so please dont talk to me like one
the history goes likes this, a friend of mine has a samsung vibrant and it has this glitch, the lights of the bottom buttons go on and off constantly and the phone vibrates like when someone is calling you... my question is, can it be fixed by flashing a new rom or can it be hardware related??
I have not been able to try the phone, i just saw the problem via webcam so i dont know exactly what sets the lights up or if its a random thing....
any ideas?? i want to buy the phone but i want to know if i can fix it with a rom or not
Why doesn't your friend get a warranty replacement first before you buy it second hand?

maybe he stole it from someone haha xD i dont know.... i think he bought without contract but he doesnt have a warranty and he wants the money asap....
please answer my question guys
edit: we are not like close friends, I barely know the guy... just so you know...
If it was a software issue we would all have the problem. Do not buy it.
Check the LDI under that battery, it should be white. What you are describing sounds a lot like liquid damage.
ok i dont even know where to start... I dont usuallypost that many threads *****ing and complaining about my phone.. but enough is enough...
I haven't rooted...(well I did a while ago BUT)... I took part in that beta testing update crap so it unrooted me.. but these problems I have been having are since the LAST "update" which was well over two months ago now (I THINK)...
1st problem I am having is randomly I cannot input text into ANY thing on the phone... I am using smart keyboard pro.. but even when i change input methods it still does not register anything i am typing... in fact when i switch the phone to landscape mode the text box goes dark grey...
2nd also when this happens... nothing will happen when i attempt to make a phone call... i click the name .. nothing happens.. i go into dialer... i cant input the number i try other methods of dialing out nothing happens....
those are the two biggest problems I have as I need to communicate with my clients all day long i cannot have this type of inconsistency.
ohh and also the finger print scanner just plain doesn't work when i go through the process of setting it up.. it wont even register the "test" swipes... its like its broken all together.... any one else having ANY of these problems?? please help me
I've never had any of those problems ever and I've had my atrix since launch date. Maybe you have a deffective device call and see if your provider will do anything about.

to be honest... and i know it sounds pretty stupid.. but... i really dont know how to flash the sbf... i know what it is followed the thread on it when it first came out... but never put the effort into figuring out how to actually do it... and right now i just don't have the time to sit down and do that.... (lazy.. it is what it is) but that could very well fix my problem i guess right... ugghh
ok
good luck sell me ur atrix I need a second one for testing purposes
If you feel adventurous enough, try disassembling the device and reseating the LCD/digitizer cable.
I had an issue with a Samsung galaxy s vibrant about a month ago that would register touch inputs when it was just sitting on the table. I did what I suggested above and the problem was solved.

So you cant input any text and you cant make any phone calls. You know what sbf is youve seen the thread and realize that it could fix the problem but your admitedly too lazy to do it. Okay, thanks for sharing!

LOL! I mean, why don't u just go back to it and making useless comparisons?
If you took some time to read, your problem would already be solved.
1. Your digitalizer may not be working well. Guarantee will cover this.
2. SBF from scratch to discard a software issue.
None of the issues you are experiencing is related to the phone being a dual-core mobile or not.
I've been able to solve some problems by reading and taking the advice from the forums.
If your Atrix looks ****ty, it's not on it. Mine shines!
Waste of forum space!
Warranty!
Bye!
Don't let the door hit you....
Err... you have a broken phone, bro. There are lots of bugs with the Atrix but yours is simply a broken phone.
Hell if you want to complain about a phone, give me it. Ill put the work into fixing it and love it. >.< this phone sucks.

C'mon man, flashing an SBF is simple! The instructions on XDA are very detailed. I am a lifelong Mac user, and even I figured out how to flash an SBF via Windows. It would not take more than a couple hours to download all the stuff you need, and re-flash an SBF. What's your build number now?

What are you even doing in this forum? My Aria is sitting in the box on the floor.
Swifted from my Atrix.
I've come across the keyboard input bug with alternate keyboards before.
SBF your phone, there's plenty of guides available how to do this, or you can download the moto update tool from their website.
Well as they say on WOW and other MMORPG...
Can I have your stuff??
Hello, i just bought my i9300 a few weeks ago. All seemed normal when i noticed that when i was viewing a gray screen ( e.g. a game loading ) or anything that wasnt completely black, there were some spots in my screen. I thought at first that it was some graphics or glitch from the game, but then tried loading another game with a similar gray screen and they were still there. They arent scratches or anything like that ,it seems that its from inside the digitalizer. I dont know if i can even put a photo of that, because its not easily visible. My phone obviously has its warrany voided due to some rooting. If i flash the stock firmware, unroot it and run triangleaway, do you think i would be able to swap it for a brand new?
Hey mate, I have the exact same problem I keep thinking it's my eyes or something but I guess if your seeing it as well maybe its a problem with the device?
Do you also see the screen sort of flickering at certain points?
Well documented problem with many handsets..

Sorry, parents don't give a refund on their children.
Swapping sometimes works but usually you're stuck with a worse model and can't go back due to technical issues with boyfriend 2.0

Hi everybody!
First of all, I apologize for any Spelling mistakes in my post, but I'm dutch, so English isn't my first language.
Ok. So, I have a great problem with my phone.
When I started it up this morning, the screen stayed black the whole time. I heard the boot sound, but no screen. Then when you need to unlock your screen, I heard that sound too. Funny thing is, that the screen responds to my touches, because when I think I'm touching my keyboard, my phone vibrates and gives me that keyboard sound. I tried the volume buttons working. I tried to get the device in recovery mode, still a black screen. Even in download mode, I get a black screen. When I plug it in to my computer, it shows up, but still black screen.
I don't know what to do anymore. Can any one help me

Well, I bought it from a man second-handed yesterday. The man said he got it from a friend and that he tried every button combination, but it didn't work. He didn't tell me it was dropped or something. But what I noticed, was that when there is full sunshine on the screen, there seems to be some sort of crack underneath the glass. I double checked it, but the man didn't know what it was.
I think the phone is about 2 years old, but I'm not sure. The strangest thing of all is that today I managed to get the music player started. I keep getting the feeling that the digitizer isn't broken, because it responds to my touches and swipes. But, if it isn't the digitizer, and the glass isn't broken, what could it be?
P.S. Thank you all to help me out here! I really appreciate it!

Thanks guys, but it seems that I have to replace the screen then. Since it was second-handed and the man told me it didn't work, I can't get a refund. I will look if it's worth to pay $120 for screen replacement, because in Holland it is not that cheap. Thank you all guys!

Btw, I did take it back.. But the man said to me it was a not working phone, so there is no chance of refund for me. I'm so sorry to waste your time with my troubles, guys..

Well, it seems like I see some sort of the problem.
Yesterday, I was in my bed checkin' the screen while something drew my attention. The screen went on and there were pixelated gray spots, so that you could see difference between the screen off and on. I personally think this was the lcd backlight that I saw, but it was a notification for me that this screen is working.
Could it be a GPU-like defect, or is it something else? I don't know what to do anymore. I am trying to find a solution, by making a scrapbook of what couldn't be the problem of my black screen.
BTW I'm sorry that I still haven't found the problem. I know a lot of people are experiencing this problem, but they all didn't found the solution..
-GameShine
I'm looking for the same solution you are! Screen went from working perfectly to black, with the rest of the phone and digitizer working just fine in 15 minutes. The connectors and ribbons look fine, and nothing traumatic happened to the lcd, so I'm skeptical of the lcd just dying suddenly. I believe there's something else causing the problem, I just hope I'm right and can figure it out.
I have another working S2 that I plugged the non working screen into. Oddly, it showed the Samsung logo on boot up, then no more. So the screen has the ability to show images, but then goes black for some reason.

I have searched in forum but seem like noone have a solution for this issue.

Can you expland me more. Cause the sencond screen works perfectly when the main screen ons.
You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
