I was running GE Rom 4.2.2 on my S4. Everything was great, until my girlfriend put my S4 in the washer with the clothes.. I let it sit in rice for a couple days and now everything works, except i have no signal at all. I have the circle with a line through it. I have tried multiple tutorials on how to possibly fix this issue but none have helped. I have been trying to go through asurion so I can get the replacement, but I don't have a printer at home to fill out the affidavit. Plus my work hours are crazy...Anyways does anyone know how to fix the signal issue?
Dude, if your signal is not working after putting your phone through the WASHING MACHINE, there's water damage to the phone. Unless you replace the motherboard in the phone, there's nothing you can do. Go to a library, print off the stuff you need, and get a new phone.

Wow! Why didn't I think of that?! Although your answer did not help me one bit I appreciate you throwing in your 2 cents. Maybe I work an upwards of 70 hours a week and usually during the day. Plus EVERYTHING else on the phone works, so why couldnt it be a simple software issue? Instead of telling me what I already know (need to get another phone), you could have nicely told me there isn't anything I can do. I apologize if this comes off as "a**holish" but you aren't helping, and instead just throwing out a random response. I was just looking for a part time solution until I do get my replacement as I NEED my phone for my job. Again thanks for at least replying.

What version of the GE edition rom are you running? I at one time ran it and had issues. Before you do anything else try flashing another ROM. Also you could try to get another Sim card. Besides that I would say let it sit in rice again.

You could try flashing back to stock that would/should eliminate software issues. If its a no go then I would say its hardware related.

Please bare with me.
This is the second time this particular problem has happened to my device.
So I was on the tram coming back from my maths exam today.
(Running a ROM with Hardcore's SpeedMod K2-15)
I decide to change the song, all of a sudden, my screen turns black and I can't turn my phone back on. I as soon as it happened I thought uh oh. (the battery was at 74%.
So I tried to reboot my phone, didn't work.
Tried to get into download mode, didn't work.
Tried to get into recovery mode, didn't work.
Went to see if anything happened if I put in my charger AND USB cable. Both instances nothing happened.
When the incident happened last time, I was about to have it shipped to Samsung, was in the car on the way there and I was still pressing the power button in hope that it would work. Low and behold, it turned on, I flashed a different ROM and kernel and was on my merry way until today.
After browsing Q&A for around an hour the only other instances I've found with this problem are my original thread (around a month ago) when the same problem occurred.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302645
And another one I found today whilst browsing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289063
also here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18139062
So up to my knowledge this seems like a problem that isn't only a one off if I'm not the only one reporting it.
Is there anything I can possibly do to fix my phone or something to avoid doing so others don't run into the same unfortunate set of circumstances?
PS. two days ago I deleted a few folders on my USB storage as they were taking up too much storage space. I doubt they had anything to do with the problem though and that's the only difference I can think of that MAY have trigged the event. But I have no reason as to why it happened. I am also using NoMoarPowah and Chainfires3D mod (which I've been using for ages and i'm sure had nothing at all to do with the problem)
hopefully someone knows of a definite solution. :\
Wow the same thing is happening to my phone as well. Thanks for the detailed description. Hopefully we'll find a response soon. Also, I would suggest you investigate the volume of chode in the nearby vicinity of your phone, may be a problem (personal experience)
I just dropped mine off a stepladder in kfc, and i'm experiencing the same problem. Avoid doing this. Hopefully someone else has a better solution to your problem but for now, just don't drop it off any stepladders.

Sigh I really need a solution. Not thread spam >.<
This sounds like a serious issue with your phone's hardware. You should return it to Samsung.
with the phones hardware itself?
If they manage to fix it do you think the'll notice it's been rooted?
I've removed the triangle and reset the flash count i've just got a new ROM on it.
(as in will it still be under warranty)
If you manage to reset the counter and get the original stock rom on it (or a new version which was meant for your device and came by kies) you should be perfectly fine, just don't root it again (until you get it back, that is).

In that case chances are very high that Samsung will simply replace it, given that they probably won't be able to turn it on, too.
That's what I've heard from many people atleast, who had issues turning their devices on.
Only way to find out: see if you can get warranty.
Other option: be honest that you rooted and hope for the best, yet I don't know how Samsung staff would react to that, probably not too good.
Ps:
I take it that you have a JIG and tried that one already? As you stated, that you did reset the counter.

I've given it to a friend but I highly doubt it would work. Anyway for now, I'm going to place it in rice JUST IN CASE there is a tiny bit of moisture on some part of the motherboard which is messing things up. If that dosn't work i'm going to go down to my mobile dealer and hope for the best
thanks for your help!
One question: Did you pull the battery, and put it back in?
I have had this sometimes before, it seems to be caused of overheating... But I'm not 100%. I have checked Logcat but nothing in there of interest.

Ive see a lot of threads about Prime's screen tearing and stuff but nothing like what is happiening with mine...
I've got this the first time a few months ago, and usually a reboot, or a long time without using it, or even a factory reset would make it go back... I wasnt getting it for a while, but now... no reboot is working...
want to know if anyone got anything like this, and if its really hardware and i will have to take it to ASUS...
Taking to ASUS is not really an option right now cuz I am not in the country I bought it right now and will take more two weeks to go back there...
Is there any way to flash a firmware through adb? would love if someone could walk me through it... thats the only hope I have right now.... unless someone have a better idea...
I am still hoping this is software... maybe a variant of what many people has been getting... since as far as I remember this started happen after ICS update
Thanks guys

Maybe, but only if it is a cable I couldn't check.... I just opened it, checked the cables and still same ****....
I had the same issue. I dropped my prime and then this happened. I had to RMA it.
have you tried reboot it using the pin hole by the micro sd card?
Guys i just want to report I had to RMA it. About 3 weeks after i gt it back perfectly working. They replaced the lcd pannel. But the most interesting is the device has an unlocked bootloader. Nevertheless it was taken care of under the warranty! Amazing that Asus is honoring unlocked devices' warranties for problems unrelated to it. Great job Asus!
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Today while using my phone in different apps the phone would suddenly stop recognizing touch input and while I wasn't touching it the apps would behave as if someone was touching it all over. I'd try exiting the app, but the capacitive buttons would not function. I hit the power button and when I came back from the lockscreen I was able to exit and everything worked for a while. Then it started happening again. I did a restart and it was still happening. Turned the power completely off, left it for a while, and then turned back on and haven't noticed it again, but haven't been using it much.
I've been on meanrom for a couple days and this just happened today. Anyone else experience something like this? I'm hoping it doesn't happen again and if it does that it isn't a hardware issue. A real downer if I have to flash it again because I just got everything the way I like it, but I'd rather do it again than have to send it for repair.
Could be the kernel, are you using an overclocked kernel?
Yes, I believe meanrom comes with an overclocked kernel. I would get the non-overclocked version if I could, but that doesn't seem to be an option. I'd ask about the issue in the rom thread, but I can't yet.

Some kernels undervolt as a way to conserve power, they use other tricks like predetermined voltage stepping and may have modified governors as well. Any one of those can cause issues with hardware, then again it could be a simple ground issue with you phone. Have you tried pressing the edges of the screen? It may not be sitting correctly, the og EVO screens would have issues with grounding when the screens for what ever reason would start lifting.
Ah, thanks! I'll give that a try.

Sounds like a digitizer issue to me.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
That may very well be the case but, digitizer issues can still be attributed to a ground fault, undervolting or voltage stepping. I'm sure op will let us know, I too am leaning towards hardware failure though
Bad news. I tried one of the developer tools that shows a line for pointer location. It appears I have a dead zone. I had tested out this tool before and it was a constant line, but now it always skips over the same spot (a horizontal strip). It came back briefly, but now it seems to be really dead.
I might try a full wipe and flashing another rom, but this does seem to be a hardware issue. Really disappointed since I just got the phone. It never got rattled or dropped or anything. I guess I'll have to go for repair, but anyone know if there's a chance that I can get the repair guy to leave s-off? Also through TEP there shouldn't be a deductible for repair, right?
Thanks again om4 and bigdaddy619 for all the assistance.
A lot of sprint repair centers no longer work on damaged screens. They don't have any legitimate reason not to either. Sucks to have to get it replaced

Had to get a replacement, but figured out why the Sprint centers don't do screen repairs anymore. According to the repair person at the store I went to, the insurance felt there was some fraud going on with the employees selling screen parts. Apparently there is a big market for smartphone screen parts. So the policy is that phones must be sent in for a refurbished replacement if the problem is with the screen. Since mine was new though, I got a new replacement.
I was told that it was due to the overall cost....what you said makes way more sense. Way to go dbags, making things so much more complicated for regular customers
Hello all, i wanna start this off by saying im afraid the only solution is a new phone. I've got an amazing rooted Evo lite with Carbon ROM is running flawlessly, well almost. Bluetooth hasn't worked for months for no matter how many wipes/rooms ever tried it doesn't recognize anything and nothing recognizes it. The weirdest thing is that it still turns on, (Ive had many roms before where neither Bluetooth or wifi would turn on but that isnt the case. I've contacted HTC they think it's the back cover, but I figured some genius on here has a better solution. If anyone has any ideas or information on what i should do or try please PLEASE let me know, I'm willing to try anything, Ill even take it surfing with the sharks if that will help. Btw ive already deleted the data for Bluetooth and stuff, i just need this emo to connect to my future sony smart watch!!

I had the same exact issue and no matter what I di I couldn't get it back to work, used viperRuu to get back to stock/s-on and even with stok kernel, unroofed, s-on the Bluetooth didn't work I've waisted 3days with sprint/htc tech support and I went to a spint corporate store and a private store owned by western talk and the tech checked the back cover and all the connectors, note that my evo has been on an otterbox defender case since I got it on "release" after customs release date, anyways, I got a replacement yesterday and I'm Dirty Racun S-off already, good luck!
Rubbing the back cover did something!
I violently pushed on the back plastic cover and Bluetooth actually picked up my Xperia tablet! But still said error communicating or some ****, but its a step in the right direction for sure. Contacted htc and they're sending me a replacement cover so hopefully that will fix everything. Thanks everyone for the quick response and help

I'm also having bluetooth issues.I've been told countless times it's because of an app, but I've wiped my phone twice and even with no apps I can't get bluetooth to connect reliably. However, if I boot it in safe mode I can get it to work about 50% of the time... I'm wondering if I need to try to get a replacement?
My girlfriend liked my HTC Amaze and bugged me until I bought her one. It was a used Amaze I found on Craigslist. It has worked fine for almost a year. She's been having some really weird problems with it and I was planning to dig into fixing it for her. HOWEVER, night before last she dropped the dang phone in a cup of soda. She did get it out almost immediately and took it apart and dried everything off. I'm not too sure she let the phone dry very long, I wasn't there.
Now the phone boots just fine and all the apps appear to work. However, it gets NO BARS. It doesn't matter where we are. I can have 5 bars and 4G connection and her phone shows nadda. So we took the phone in to T-Mobile for some help. The guy was a lot of help and spend a lot of time working with the phone. He even switched sim cards. But eventually he discovered that the phone has been rooted. DANG!!!! So that got dropped quick. Now I have to figure this out for myself.
I really need some suggestions. Obviously the antenna has been affected, right? I have done my research and have learned that the phone actually connects to the back cover to obtain a connection. So I will be double checking that as soon as I get my hands on the phone again. What else should I do?
The android version is now v2.?. We've been trying to update it to v4 and it never would download. Now we know why. I want to restore the phone back to the stock configuration and upgrade the OS but there's no use in that unless I can take care of the connection problem.
Please, please, please someone help me. Otherwise I'll have to go out and buy a new Galaxy III for her. I can't afford that right now.

lol your title sounds a lil hahaha anyway all the signal antenna's are in the back door so try a new backdoor?? mite work ther're plenty in ebay
You can try a new back cover, but tbh, my guess is that it's probably not the problem. When it got wet it probably shorted something out or something. You have to take the battery out immediately, every .01 seconds count. And i wouldnt put the battery back in for like 2 days. Whenever mine gets wet I take out the battery then I try and suck out all of the water or whatever liquid out of the device as I can. Then ill let it sit in the sun for a while. I always waut at least 24 hourse before putting it back I

Yeah, that's certainly what I would have done. Unfortunately I wasn't there when it happened. She claims she immediately got it out. But she was falling asleep when it fell in so I really don't know. She did immediately take it apart and dry it off. But I don't think she was so anxious about it she put it back together to see if it would work. That probably did more damage than getting it wet in the first place.
We both have the same phone. I took the back off my Amaze and still have a good signal. It may have dropped one bar but not completely. It may get a boost on the signal from the back cover but it still works without. So I agree it probably is not going to be fixed by simply replacing the back cover. I'm going to stick my back cover on it this evening just to see what happens, but I think I know.
I am going to research the possibility of replacing the antenna completely. It seems the next logical option. I may also go ahead and take it further apart just to give it the opportunity to dry out. We'll see.
Any further comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You are absolutely right!! LOL.. If it weren't for the cost of replacing the danged thing I would still be laughing. Why is it she wants ME to replace it and hasn't even suggested that SHE should be the one to replace it THIS TIME?????? She is on one of those pay as you go accounts. We were ready to set her up with a 2-year deal just to find they don't exist at T-Mobile any more. You pay full price for any phone now regardless of what sort of account you set up. I don't see doing that for quite a while.
I may be searching eBay for a replacement phone. But I'd like to try a few options with this one first.

if she dropped it in soda, get some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip. clean the contacts very thoroughly. the soda is sticky and can prevent proper contact,
also clean the SIM card contacts on both the card and the phone.
Working Now
I cleaned the back of the phone and the cover this morning with rubbing alcohol then stuck my SIM and SD cards in the phone this morning and turned it on. To my amazement it is now working. What a great sigh of relief!!!!! I have heard nothing but moaning and groaning over this cheap phone I bought my girl until I could resolve this.
So it's off to phase 2 of this adventure. According to the T-Mobile store this phone has been rooted. I've read about it but I know close to nothing about rooting phones. There seems to be as many DIY pages describing how to root or restore a cell phone I am a bit reluctant to get started.
What do I need to look for in restoring this phone? Do I have to find the restore file that matches the Android version on the phone or can I just get the absolute latest one? Which one of these abundance of instructional should I be looking for? What is this about S-On/S-Off? It seems to be important. How do I actually check to verify that this phone has been rooted? I'm just going by someone's comments here.
I'd like to get this completed today. I'm expecting SIGNIFICANT appreciation this evening if I can hand her a working smart phone!!!!
My most enthusiastic and humble appreciation to those who responded. :good:
Been doing some investigations. The phone has super user installed in the aps. It also has 4ext installed. I let the phone download the latest ICS but the install failed.
According to "most" off the forums I have read all I have to do is place the stock image on the root of the external SD card and reboot. Is there anything else I need to worry about?
