Hey,
As the topic title suggests I f'ed up and dropped my Mozart. Now the entire powerbutton on the little motherboard snapped off internally, I checked.
Any chance there is a softwares with which I can bind the cambutton to do the powerbuttons work, and even more important, get an icon for the cam somehwere on the phone
I really love my mozart, I've checked around the registry but couldnt find anyhting myself. Since i'm still learning I'd love some help.
Tx.
In settings -> camera, allow the camera to wake up the device. Use the button to wake up, and then press home. Set the screen lock to 30s, and use that to lock it.

Hey mate
I thanked you for it, but I already figured that out myself. I got one step further even. I figured out that if the USB port gets a 100mA 5v current it will function as the "unlock" button. I put a few small batts in series and connected + and - of the USB PWR wires. Works like a charm
Still I would love to find some s/w which lets me change the h/w buttonmapping of the unlockbutton to the cambutton.
Oke lol problem solved. Plugging a headphone jack in the top also unlocks it. I will carry a cut off headphonejack with me at all times from now on. Epic lulz
Now all I need is a software lockbutton so I dont have to wait 30secs all the time.
why not just have the power button repaired.. its under warranty.. unless you broke the warranty.. anyway can you please post a picture of what had happened to the power button so I can see if that can be fixed or not.

I repair phones myself, it cannot be fixed otherwise I would've fixed it The PCB is damaged around the powerbutton and short-circuitting the right pins won't turn it on any longer. I would post a pic if I could, but the only cam in the house is in the Mozart
I wish I was a s/w dev now instead of a h/w guy cuz then I would've coded an app which would make me soft-lock the phone
Warranty doesnt work for me unfortunately. Lost the receipt.
If a viable solution doesnt emerge in the forums I'll have to learn the basics of programming for WinPhone 7 and code myself a quick and dirty app to fix it. C'est ca

The only way to do that would be to put Android on the phone, and find an app for it. Windows Phone 7 will not let any app do this (unless it was created by the OEM or Microsoft).
Have you looked into replacement parts, or is it purely with the circuitry? You could also try your luck with HTC- they may do it.

The button snapped of but took a tiny bit of circuitboard. Seems to have taken too much for it to be fixed.
Do you know if Win Phone 7 will allow softwarebased locking of the screen? Before I'm gonna start learning .net and silverlight for nothing

As far as I know, I don't think so. (Simplification coming up) The way .NET works (especially on this phone), is that it has a list of functions you can tell the phone to do. If a function isn't included, you pretty much can't do anything past that.
Orange Insurance
I did exactly the same yesterday. Dropped my Mozart and the power button doesn't seem to work. I've not pulled it apart to check but the button feels like its come away or snapped off the PCB.
I want to take the chance to praise Orange UK's insurance. I dropped the phone Yesterday (Sunday) at 14:30, I've been told by orange a new handset will be with me before 13:00 Today (Monday). That's, if anyone can't add up, within 24 hours!
Well worth £5 a month! I do believe Orange do a similar thing for PAGO customers. So it might be worth while just getting a PAGO sim (Free), topping it up with what it needs for the insurance and claiming for a new handset. Just an idea.
Notice for ALL Mozart users, don't drop your Mozart!
So I screwed up my RAZR by changing system files with root. Summary: Recovery not an option, fastboot only way to go, but, the battery died.
I tried making a motorola factory cable. I tried hotwiring the battery. When all was said and done, I got nowhere.
Then I got my buddies RAZR. Not sure what he did to it, but the screen is shattered. So my thought was, of course, I can use his phone to charge my battery! :laugh:
It doesn't work. I ask my friend about it, this is what he tells me.
Him: "When we were disabling the phone she lady said that it may turn off the phone completely"
Me: "WHAT?"
Him: "I don't that's just what that verizon lady said. I'm guessing that the phone is all connected by radio waves and crap"
Me: "WHAT?"
Him: "Apparently turned it off"
Me: " Turned...it...off."
Him: "I guess so if it no worky"
Me: "WHAT?"
Him: "with newer phones like that they are able to actually turn on and off the phone and other crap like that"
Me: "WHAT?"
So. I ask you XDA. Once again. Can ya help me...help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
WHAT?
Seriously though, your friend said that a verizon employee disabled his phone? How? did they send a zip and have him install it? What are the circumstances preventing this from being verizon goofing up his gear, warranting them to replace it? Did he already goof it up? Was it already not turning on when he called, and after trying for a bit, verizon verified fubar?

Thank you for replying.
As mentioned above, his screen is shattered. Pretty nicely too. Of his own doing. I would assume he went in to the Verizon store, and the conversation above followed. There should be nothing wrong with the ROM. I have no idea what they could have done to it.
I will tell you this though. I took out his battery, put in mine. Here's what I've got.
When plugging into a charger I get one of three results.
1. White LED that turns on and immediately shuts off
2. Faint...and I mean faint...red LED for a split second that fades
3. Nothing.
Another buddy of mine asked me what happens when I hold the volume down and power for 10 seconds (no not trying to load bootloader)
Zilch. Nada. Nothing happens.
I was looking over at ifixit.com at how to dismantle a RAZR.
Theoretically, using that guide, I could take this screen shattered RAZR's motherboard and attach it to my ROM corrupted RAZR's screen.
If:
1. His motherboard is also destroyed
2. Verizon somehow deactivated the motherboard itself or wiped the rom
3. That guide and others mentioned that there is one unit that once you take apart can not be put back, you have to order a new put together unit. I believe it was talking about the camera area, not sure.
3a. Assuming the camera area is non-replaceable, the phone will not work without it.
3b. They weren't just talking about that protecting cover over the area.
I am much better at fixing problems on a device, then fixing a device itself. Obviously.
Thanks again for replying.
Honestly I am suspecting your friend is mistaking verizon removing his plans from the phone, with bricking it. I haven't heard of verizon intentionally bricking someones phone, even with a cracked screen. the only way I could even see them doing that is with an OTA file, or had him download a corrupted zip, then install it which with a cracked screen is unlikely on both accounts since both actions require user input. If the phone wasn't event on, then it would be impossible. And I mean, why would they do that? If anything they would just want it sent in, not nuke it, then hand it back to the customer. Doesn't mean phone is not screwed( I had a droidx meet a terrible fate via 12 foot drop, screen down onto bricks) just that if it is, it isn't verizons doing. Depending on what happened to it, the board could be all sorts of goofed, and the screen is just what you can physically see.
In light of that, have you considered swapping the screen/digitizer of your bricked phone with the cracked one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0fSED86mLs
Less messy, less risk, though she won't be as water resistant then, but it is the same steps as disassembling the phone for the motherboard, and you don't have to disrupt as many components, so less opportunity for error.
If you do it, remember that the screen and the digitizer MUST be replaced as a unit

Screen and digitizer, which will be one unit when I take it out of my bricked phone correct?
A second question, even more stupid...what do you think the changes are that my buddies phone is fine and this will work?
In other words, could his phone not be turning on solely because the screen is damaged? Is that likely?
If I were to get this to work the easy way, I would eventually do it the hard way (take his motherboard for my unit) because mine is a bit shinier.
Thanks again.
EDIT: Just an FYI, I'm not stalling on doing this, I currently don't have Torx screwdrivers, I will get hold of some soon. I have been able to get out the batteries with pliers so far.
They are attached, but you can accidently separate them, which then you could be screwed, i personally have never done it so i would suggest you watch and read several tutorials to make yourself really comfortable with the process.
As far as your buddies phone... Completely dependent on how the phone dropped, and how much impact on what part of the phone.... The drop might have knocked the battery circuit loose.... Damaged the camera or other part of the phone disrupting a circuit, or the shock if the drop could have severely damaged the board.... Only one way to find out

Sweet!! Glad it worked out for you:highfive:. Now be careful with your system files :laugh:
I tried to downgrade to an older stock rom, but after flashing I couldn't delete the cache since the power button does not work in recovery mode either. As a result, I wasn't able to set up the new rom because the Google apps continuously crashed effectively preventing it. Eventually, I was forced to use my jig to enter download mode in order to re-flash the original troublesome rom just to at least have a working phone discounting the power button. I do not believe this is a hardware issue due to the fact that the button was working prior to the upgrade, and received no trauma afterward.
I have spent numerous hours searching these forums for hints as to what the problem might be, but I have had no luck and only found band-aid key remapping fixes. Can anyone offer any insight as to what the problem might be?

You can just use a credit card. Just make sure whatever you use is plastic to avoid scratches.
This guy has a good video for how to disassemble the phone. FYI a plastic butter knife works great for taking the cover off.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65pvAINg2ME
If you find that the button won't work even after taking it apart (that's what happened to my wife's phone) this place will do a repair for $40.
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-at-t-power-button-repair/
Personally I didn't really see the point in spending $40 for a repair when I could just root it and throw AOKP on it and enable the option to wake the phone with the volume rocker. Only issue I ran into is that the stock kernel's CWM wasn't touch enabled so needed to put AJK's on it first.

Thank you for the guide.
Part of the problem was that I can't wipe the cache after flashing a different rom since the power button doesn't work even in recovery mode. I finally had a chance to open it up a few days ago and even pressing the button without the cover on did nothing. It seems that the button failing after the update was HUGELY coincidental because it now inexplicably work, although not perfectly. It seems that it is a hardware issue after all, so I may attempt to fix it if I have time. .
Let's see if we can get this going.

I must of lucked out then, my phone was in this state after running benchmarks back to back. I kept plugging and unplugging from wall charger and pressing power button. After many times it finally showed charging animation and eventually booted.

I've heard that it sometimes comes back to life if you leave it alone or get it reasonably cold.
When it happened to me I left it unplugged for 24hrs, and got nothing but the looping LG cycle. Left it plugged in looping for 24hrs and no go.
Left it off the majority of the day before I got tools, got off work, shopped, got home, still cycled, so I figured screw it at that point, and went for the battery pull. Powered up instantly after.
I'm not sure just how long it would take to drain, considering it would be doing nearly nothing in the off state. Then again I've heard of people somehow charging it like that for a few hours and having it work also. Good luck regardless though.

From that, it makes me want to put the damn thing in the freezer lol. But that risks moisture damage. Anyway, do you know what actually causes this to happen? i mean, it was supposed to just be a Build.prop tweak. After every other soft brick, i could let it sit, go into recovery, and just restore from a back-up. But letting go of that, Could i just plug it in, and leave it in download mode for a few day/week whatever until the battery dies? Failing that, how would i recharge my phone afterward?
UPDATE:Checked my screwdriver set, have t4,5,6. If all else fails, ill go for the pull.

Yeah no freezer, you can get it relatively cold just placing it in the stream of cold air from your house or car A/C for 3-5 minutes.
I do not know what causes it to happen, now to be clear, it's the brick where it will not power on at all unless usb is plugged in correct?
Also, I think it actually charges in download/fastboot mode. I may be mistaken though.
The phone should start charging itself afterward with little issue, if you successfully drained it anyway. (again I remember reading a few posts awhile back about people who accidentally ran there phones to 0 battery and ALSO got the weird loop syndrome.) I think it was MysteryEmotionz that mentioned that you could leave it for a few hours in fastboot/download and it would be ok to start charging again.

Just go slow, reaaaaly slow when pulling the back cover off, and be sure NOT to use your finger to pry the battery connector up, so it doesn't come off the board. Also, do find a TORX for the pesky bottom screws, so you don't end up stripping them. Best of luck, you'll be fine.
If you're really hesitant to try, just take it back to where you got it if you have insurance, considering you're wiped at this point..

Yeah I was crazy paranoid the first time, just keep working around and shim something under the tabs you do get to pop open.
Second time I did it in like 2 minutes start to finish. I do remember the first time that you can hear the glass as you stress it, it is more flexible than you think but surface area is gonna be key when you start prying. WORST worse case, you break it, and get a cheap replacement on ebay or ignore it outright and get a body glove case for it.
I gave up on using it without a case, the glass is pretty but its way too slick, that phone can slide off of a 1 degree slope I swear.

The only reason it came up so far is because it stuck to the case as it was lifted. But i got it down it was simple, unscrew all the little philips, lift up on the Plastic cover, jimmy the camera and boom. i'm gonna put it back together and let you know what happens.

Sounds good, glad its working again. The only thing that made it do this to me was thermal, and I was purposely overclocked to the wall doing benches at the time. When the option is available, in for example most of houstonn's ROM's / Kernels, I set the thermal throttle to max at 60 degrees in trickster mod, and in my experience, dvhexer's kernels behave really well in regards to automatic throttle based on thermal.
Editing a build prop setting itself should have made zero change until a reboot anyway. Were you crazy undervolted maybe? I'm just curious cause I'm always trying to avoid having to take the phone apart if I don't have to.

Nope! Completely fresh install of beanstalk. Well not completely, i did install Gapps and do all the updates via wifi. But first thing i do on new ROM is check out the settings. but as soon as i checked that TCP option, it just bricked! Anyway, I appreciate your help, saved my ass. I think i'll stay away from beanstalk for now. Kernel maybe not supported? Or did i just get unlucky. in any case, thanks. 5star advice sir.

I also wanna thank you for making this thread
Im sure you guys have heard it before, but I really could use some help. I just received my early bird edition, not developers and I have no idea where to start. I am not a computer guru like you guys are and could use assistance. I have my sim installed and my SD card. Few things:
How do I get the google play store?
is there a way to customize my watch at all? Seems pretty bare?
Thanks for the help

There is a sticky that is the second post in this section called [INFO] Everything.... it contains almost every bit of information regarding the TS and other x201 devices.
@Lokifish Marz
Mate...you are only (that I know and see) who are trying to help guys here.
As soon as my watch arrives I'll help you to help here
I can help now, generally but without watch that's not something big

Hi,
I also need help. I just got my TS and downloaded the play store and started to load apps onto the watch. Everything was fine until I set the watch down to fix dinner. When I came back, it wouldn't turn on. I tried holding down both buttons thinking that may be how you can reset it...no luck. I don't want to open the back because that will ruin my warranty. Is there anything else I can do? I am not computer literate (figuring out how to sideload the play store apk was the achievement of a century for me).
I just feel so lost. I don't know who to even ask at this point...I don't think I did anything wrong to the watch. I have no clue why this happened. I just got it today.
Have you tried to charge it yet?
Also, if you haven't rooted or run the patch, really bad idea to put ANY info on it.
You can open the back without voiding anything but the water-resistance warranty. If you open the back you can pull the battery. If you pull the battery, or let it run down all the way, then try to restart your watch with a charged battery in place, it will probably work again.
It may be that your power button has slipped out of alignment or is otherwise not pushing on the switch on the main board correctly. Sometimes the main board can shift away from the external buttons. If you open your TrueSmart, you can take a look anyway.

Well here is the deal. To be honest, I have no idea how to program, load apps etc etc etc. I saw an awesome piece of technology and a great new idea but I think I am what you guys refer to as someone that needs to plug it in and it work. I have watched the videos that you have all posted and to be honest, you guys are all incredibly smart at what you do. I watch your videos and am lost immediately. Its not fair to you guys to ask a million questions so I am willing to pay for someone to help me. Please someone contact me. my email address is [email protected]
Thanks for your help.

I ran into a similar problem with my power button not turning on my watch. Sigh. Did you ever solve your problem? Its hard enough that I can't even open the back of the watch as I had to take it to a local jewelry person to have him open it to put in my memory card when I first got the watch.

My 1900. omate will not power on so how do I check to make sure the min board is in contact with the power button? I can see it pushing down some metal tip when I press the power button but then what? Push it with a screwdriver or ?
With your TrueSmart back cover off but the battery still installed, can you still see where the power button is pushing against the power switch on the main board ? If so, you can push the power button and see if it hits the switch to depress it. Maybe you could also carefully slip a tool in sideways between the button and switch and attempt to depress the switch. I suggest you try with something non-conducting first, if you can reach it with the battery still installed at all.
This is just to check whether the power switch is being depressed far enough to activate the watch. Sometimes the switch has been found to not have been properly soldered to the main board or to be otherwise defective.
Make sure it still won't power on after a battery pull first, of course. I'm sure you have already tried that, but it bears repeating.

im going to try that....does the back cover has to be screwed on for the watch to be turned on?

Keeping the battery and getting at the power switch is difficult because I had to lift up a second layer to get at it. I managed to depress the button and screwed it back. I pressed the power button and nothing happened but when I plug it to my pc via cradle it kept blinking the battery symbol again and again. Not sure if that meant the battery power was low so I pulled the battery and put it back in. This time I see it flash the battery symbol once then it nothing.
Update.... it went back to flashing the battery symbol.
Update... my watch came back after switching batteries. I did depress the power button from inside before I screwed the backplate back on. I applied the ensc security patch as I used the wrong option..didn't know there was four options in the drop down menu at bottom. I was hoping for a fix butThe power button still doesn't work so I turned on the watchon app... if its working and switch the display on to 30 mins. I'm looking to apply the ensec 20140318 patch. OOPS I already did the patch.
