Hi
I'm having 2 problems with my device:
1. The bottom-right corner of my display is lighter than the rest - on a black background it looks yellowish and it's visible only in the dark; it's really bugging me sometimes
2. Something extremly annoying: it sometimes loses its signal and it doesn't find it again; the only way to recover my signal is restarting the phone. This doesn't happen too often but it happens and it sucks when i have to make a quick call
How is LG Romania service? Will I recover my phone with dust under the screen due to their lack of attention?
My signal problem happens with the stock ROM and custom ROMs so this is not a software problem (although I can't tell them that I tried with other ROMs).
Should I even flash my original recovery or just the backup of the original ROM and unroot?
1. It seems to be a leaking backlight problem. My Optimus One also has that problem; however, it's not that much of an issue for me.
2. What signal, Wifi or Mobile?
If you want to claim warranty then I think you should re-flash the original unrooted ROM.
Mobile signal.
I would like to avoid KDZ as much as possible...
A friend has an O1 and he doesn't have the display problem.

The display problem sounds like a hardware problem and the coverage problem may depend on if you flashed a new rom might want to check the forum from the rom either way I would just call your provider and tell then they usually can change something on there end that will help the coverage

Well, as I said, I had the signal problem with many ROMs and kernels so it is defenately a hw problem.
Plus I flashed once with KDZ and it didn't disappear...

Well, there is a risk that if you go to LG and show them your modded phone, you will lose warranty. So if you want to fix your issue claim warranty, then you should flash the original firmware first.

I had the same problem with my first O1, so it may be something common... really sorry to hear that you experience the same thing.
(Unfortunately, it happened to me in the 30 days money-back guarantee period emag has, so I took the money and bought another phone...)
From what I've heard, they're pretty OK (although I don't know anyone who actually sent a phone to the service, so I may be wrong).

I recently dropped my HD2 and cracked the screen. Ever since then I have been having trouble maintaining my data connection. Could I have knocked something loose inside? Would a reflash of my rom and radio possibly clear things up? I didn't know if anyone has experienced a similar issue. Prior to this I have never had problems in either WinMo or Android. Thank you in advance.

u cracked the screen but ur having reception issues ? how about seeing somthing ?
also flashing wont change anything if a plug ripped itself out of its place
The crack is across the bottom 10% of the screen. Barely affects visability.
I am simply trying to find the cause for the change in reception. Sometimes its great. Sometimes it disappears. Completley random and I cannot recreate the problem on my own.

Not gunna go into much detail here. I'm sure most people have heard o the motherboard bug which causes the sony ericsson to over heat and reboot as soon as it is turned on and things like that. This problem only started for me when I updated to 2.1. Would downgrading to 1.6therefore stop the reboots because I never got even 1 before. Would changin the battery to a diferent one stop overheating o the battery. Maybe there is a battery specialized or this. Maybe a mugen battery would work? Help greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
I dont think so, i had the same problem and tried everything, last thing was getting the new one, and now i can do anything, and no reboot, i think u should go to SonyEricson and tell them about your problem, they will give you back your phone for about 3 times, then when your problem still persist they will give you a new device or they will change motherboard,
Good Luck (and sorry for bad english ^_^)
Out of Warranty Cant be bothered to explain why. Getting it repaired would cost a lot. CoulD I repair it myself?
your best bet it to use advanced task killer app

I do use that app but 90 percent of the time I cant get my phone on long enough to even think about using it
have you tried reflashing the rom, via repair option on SEUS, or even Flashing a custom rom?
sent from my X10 using my wicked awesome premium xda app
yep didnt work
has anyone tried the downgrading or battery change method that can enlighten me as to wheether it will work or not. Or at least significantly reduce the reboots so I can actually use the phone

Yes i think some thing inside the rom could help. One of my friend have X10 with mainboard bug like u. But as i sure in xrecovery it never reboot even you flash a rom sooooo....it should be something inside the room or kernel
sorry i dont really understand what you want me to do :S ????
just downgraded to 1.6. Still rebooting but not as much. Not every minute anymore. It like every few minutes. Im at a loss here there must be something I can do. Warranty and paying to change the motherboard is not an option
I had the same problem, tried everything but my phone only worked when I was using it in cold places, or in front of a fan. The problem started to become worse gradually, it started playing games, then in a few minutes of light use... and then every minute. Had to flash to stock rom in front of a fan to use the warranty.
You cannot do much, unless you use the warranty you'll stand with a dead phone for now.
Isnt there a way I could like open up my phone and do something to it to make it work? There must be something out there that will work.
what if i put the phone and battery in the freezer for a day or a few. maybe it could at least stop the overheating for at leastt a few days? i wouldnt mind doing this every few days

It will work for a few minutes, once your start to use the phone, the battery will start to heat, and then it will reboot once it reach its threeshold.
I highly suggest you to try to repair it in any sony center, or at least check the price to fix it. As far as I know, you can't do anything to at least remedy it. You won't be able to use your phone well. I experienced it and tried everything it came to my mind to at least use the phone well for a few days before I gave up and sent it to the repair center.
Out of warranty and would be like 100 quid to get motherboard replaced. (sorry about caps lock) there must be something that no one has thought of
Of there is of course a problem with asking for solutions that no one has thought of....
Sorry for the cheap shot. I do have sympathy as I have the same issue, although to a much lesser extent. Got a new battery and it made no difference. Went into a phone shop today and had a chat. Although I was not 100% convinced about the guy in there he showed me another X10 that smelled the same as mine and he said it did reboot. Anyway for £15 he says he can reflash the stock ROM using a special box. He seemed convinced it was software related so I may give it a go. It is very strange that I can put the phone into xRecovery when the phone is rebooting and it is stable.
However I think your best bet is to sell your phone and get another. Not sure how much a spares/repairs X10 goes for but I can recommend the ZTE Blade as a good, cheap Android phone with a strong support over a MoDaCo. If you do this you should not be to much out of pocket.
dont really want a different phone. Lilke I said there must be something that someone knows :S
if theres no solution anyone knows, does anyone know where I can buy an xperia 10 PCB so I can dissassemble my phone and change the PCBs myself
Get insurance and lose the phone.
I have posted before too on this issue of random reboots on desire x. It seems that i am the only one who have faced random reboot problem multiple times a day( varies between 1-10).
Now i would like to explain my issue in detail. These restarts DOES NOT occur when i am using the phone and running multitude of apps.
It only occurs when the phone is lying idle or when charging. Sometimes it reboots with white HTC screen while sometimes it gets stuck on a black screen( not switched off), in latter case i have to long press the power button to reboot it again. I can't even leave my phone alone while charging because it may crash which will result in missed calls and messages. The phone worked fine for first 4 months of purchase so may not be hardware related. I did upgrade my software twice from 1.18.401(factory) to 1.18.720 . the latest update was 1 week before the problem started.
I did not spent my $400(Indian price) on buying a buggy phone which bothers me and left me wondering why is it behaving so strangely.
The trouble shooting i performed in last month includes -
FACTORY RESETTING 5 TIMES
RUNNING PHONE WITHOUT SD CARD
RUNNING WITHOUT ANY APPS INSTALLED
PUTTING A WEDGE ALONG BATTERY TO ENSURE GOOD CONNECTION
SCRUBBING BATTERY AND PHONE CONTACTS
USING PHONE ON SEVERAL SIM CARDS
The problem may be network related, i don't know.
I am so disappointed in HTC. Is anybody here on software version 1.18.720 and not facing problem of reboots. If the update is faulty HTC should come up with another one.
I am on a sabbatical and 300 miles far from nearest service station for another month.It makes no sense to cover 300 miles and spend hell lotta money just to get this goddamned thing serviced. My last hopes are on Jelly Bean update to solve this problem which seems to take forever in coming to Asia. Is there any way to go back to 1.18.401 which came natively with my phone or some other way to resolve it.
Thank You
Get it replaced in Warranty. THE JB UPDATE WONT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. As it is specific to some users and not others, so its not a SOFTWARE issue. Its Hardware Fault. Get it replaced ASAP.

Let the warranty guys wonder why the issue happened. Its a costly thing, and warranty is EXACTLY for these type of situations. USE it.
Just save yourself the hassle and get it replaced like nexus suggested if you dig into what the causes are it will take a while because i tried to with an older htc device
Jb wont solve it, if its kinda similar to my problem described in your previous thread, motherboard change is the only option
thanx everybody . so that means i will live with this faulty device for sometime more till i go back to my work place n have access to service station

Thats awfuly bad luck... cant you send it via mail to service centre? In czech republic, there is this posibility (and we are around monkeys level here in whole smartphone situation).
I also have 720.3 but don't have such problem.
That's absolutely a hardware problem,take it to service center asap n dont wait for jb update.

YEA may be i can but that will take forever in India to get a proper response from main htc office/SC that is 3500 miles away. I will be in bangalore in may/june so will directly go the main service centre myself. Additionally I don't think they will replace the phone immediately so sending over mail will be useless if i get the same phone back with some temprory tweaking from their side.
I have 6 months of warranty left till November so if it goes bad let it be, my case will get stronger.
Can i flash my phone back to 1.18.420 myself without voiding warranty.?
In future i will think twice before going for HTC
i read somewhere in forums that android phones also need to cool down for sometime and periodic reboots or what they probably meant is switching off the phone for few mins is essential for long life of the phone but may be its just me

thats old desire trick called "put that brick into freezer", but it doesnt help in long term, youll have to cool it whole time youre using it
RANDOM REBOOTING devices with STOCK ROMs have FAULTY HARDWARE.
I phone shouldnt reboot on heat even with extreme use, and if it does, its faulty.
If you have custom roms or kernels, then it might be due to software issue, but on STOCK, its always HARDWARE.

You remember me about my old Mio A701 phone who started to behave strange for month or two... and after that the radio chip crashed...
Also it happend on my wife's LG phone that a little dirty (mettalic I think) on circuit inside right behind the power plug was able to freeze the phone and some times to restart.
So, if you tried all that things and the problem is not solved then it is a hardware problem! You have to disassemble the phone and repair it! Or go to service center (never I had).
its not a heat problem coz .i can use this device for prolonged sessions. only when the screen is off and network on it reboots
PS. when is jb coming to India
Try one more thing there is a app(don't know name) which can increase the minimum processor frequency
Try that out may be your CPU has very low min speed, don't sure about this but give it a try.
If that requires rooting then don't do it.

To keep things simple, I had a cracked screen on the Ultra which was replaced last week. However now the phone screen is slow and unresponsive after about a minute of use (fast & like new after right turning on however).
Ive tried the mod tweak found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522657
As well as the thermal screen calibration here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470070
There is no change with either mode. Cleaning with alcohol only works for a few minutes, and yes Ive removed the ASF for no change.
It should be noted that when booted at first minute or two, the touch inferface is quick and brilliant. After a minute or so it gets slower and remains so. Typing a text is a gruelling affair at that point,
Ran 4.3 android and updated to 4.4.4 and also no change in performance.
Does anyone have any ideas/ tips or pointers?
HELP!?!
An app with a memory leak?
Looks quite normal. RAM 1.1GB used; 600MB free.
Unless thats not what were talking about?
EDIT: might be up to something. using advanced kill on Go taskmanager EX and its seemed to do improve the situation in the short term. Will keep testing
Well got about that far thus far. The advanced kill works sometimes, but none of the apps look out of whack (from my basic knowledge anyhow)
Any help/ links in diagnosing a memory leak would be very appreciated.
Don't suppose you've got the Google now launcher? I had to uninstall as they introduced a memory leak in the last update.
Un updated it just in case.
Its tough as even watchdog lite isint detecting much. com.google.android.gms:snet at startup took 22% CPu but otherwise its steady.
Grr jezz I even did a factory reset to 4.4.4 and its still there. Would trying a custom rom help?
Well as an update manage to completely wipe and reinstall the OS. No change in performance however
Does anyone know if a faulty screen install could be to blame for this?

Could well be, but i find it strange that it acts normal again after a reboot? That alone indicates that it's something wrong with the software. I still hold a finger on a process gone wild. Do you have Recovery installed? If yes, re-flash the ROM or flash something else and see if that solves it. I would personally flash a stock ROM and flash it with Flashtool so you don't have to root or void any warranties, and it'll be the simplest thing to do in case the screen is still acting weird after flash, and you want to get it checked out again (since it most certainly will be a hardware issue at that point).
So, fire up Flashtool, download a complete stock ROM (TFT), flash it, test it. Is it working fine now? Sweet. Keep using the ROM. Is it still the same thing? Contact the repair center again and tell them what's up and please do tell them that you've already done a factory reset, since that's the first thing they'll do themselves. Do not tell them about Flashtool or any other hacks or tweaks. They'll probably blame you if they think that you're an XDA user. "Oh, so you've been playing with it, and you bricked it and wanna fix it for free, bla bla".
Ask if they can open the device again and check that everything is fine and that you haven't received a faulty panel.
Ive actually did a complete tft flash of the original xperia ultra software. No change whatsoever vs previous state.
Im increasingly suspecting a hardware issue. Could it be a poorly plugged in cable? Its random chugging/ smooth response is completely confusing...

Did you flash the exact same FTF that you've always used, or did you flash one from a different region? I would try the GPe ROM if i were you, just to be sure, but don't bother doing it if you're not rooted and ready to flash. Yes it can easily be a hardware issue, and you should probably contact Sony or your nearest service center.
As an update I tried installing a fresh tft flash of a different build but same issue.
Notably noticed that the notification light on the screen is not working at all, so currently looks like a hardware issue. Will keep updated for reference & visit a repair centre
Hello xda, i have some issues regarding my uprooted lg g3. I used to root all my phones, previously galaxy nexus and a few G2s which were replaced by warranty due to "manufacturer defects" or me just messing it up. Anyway I have learned the best way to use a new phone was to just not root it at all due to the many I've ruined rooting and customizing. It was all fun but I decided to try with my new G3, (last one I rooted and things started going haywire) not rooting it at all and maybe that will solve the problems. I thought wring I suppose.
My first issue I'm having is the phone is just slow and laggy in general. At the moment I am typing this right now the keyboard is slow and lags behind when I type and the screen jitters whenever it moves. Am on Verizon running latest Ota. For example my maps lags and has trouble keeping my location updated and this keyboard is pissing me off beyond belief. Practicality put of the box it was behaving poorly. The boot up time is slower than it was on the even my g2 or the last g3. If i hold the power button for another example it'll vibrate and then a second later the menu will pop up, or it will take a few seconds to switch apps, and for a brand new phone this shouldn't be happening.
A HUGE issue for me is my 4g LTE sucks. As I am typing this I am trying to deal with a spotty 3g connection in the middle of Greenwich Connecticut on the merritt Parkway rest stop. I work on the road and always need my maps to be updating location constantly and not lagging on me on the job. I switched from global to lte/CDMA with no dice for fixing the issue. And when I do get to a 4g connection it is either dropped or very slow. This Is a very amateur issue for such a "good" phone. I'm about to smash this damn thing out of frustration I hate this phone so much. I don't know what to do and I think i might be done with lg.
Please what can i do because I can't handle this piece of Crap anymore
Well that's really strange. I have the lg g3 and I'm on Verizon as well. I don't have any lag problems regarding the keyboard or anything else really. The only lag I experience is when the phone overheats and is having a lot of apps opening in the background. As for your coverage, I can't help you there either. I have 3g in my home which does get pretty slow but mostly 4g everywhere else I go. Maybe if you try to reset your device it would help?

As we speak my speed test can't even find a good server on 4g. It's like I'm not even on 4g. It used to be blazing fast and now it doesn't even work. I guess another damn reset is the only option, but i have reset my phones way to many times to have to do it again. Factory reseting my phone every single time shouldn't be the way it works, feel me? They gave me seemingly finished product that shouldn't be having these sorts of problems. God forbid I didn't know what I was doing I would have no clue where to start on these issues,i or anyone else would be screwed.
I'll go through today and I'll post every issue I encounter throughout the day and we'll see what the problem may be
Yes that is very true. Maybe you should go into Verizon and see about getting a replacement. That's what I did when something was wrong with my phone.
