Verizon VS985. I cracked my screen, needing a new one. I ordered one off of Amazon and installed it. Now my GPS doesn't work (will not lock, searching for GPS) nor my notifications LED, both INOP. Any ideas to fix? PS: I can live without the LED flashing... the GPS not so much.
Are you sure you have connected everything that was needed to be connected inside? And maybe you should do a restart?

I've opened up the phone again, checked everything, went back to a stock ROM still nothing.
Thats really strange. Maybe you should go get a replacement device

I was thinking bent pins from prying the back cover off maybe. Those 3 sets of connections are for the antennas. Just an idea.
Check this out, maybe something similar going on?

Okay so I ran my battery all the way down til it shut down and I charged it for a half hour and turned it on and it had no service but the wifi connected. Then after less than a minute the screen goes blank and it does it over again.
I did a battery pull, reseated the sim and sd cards but same thing. Now I figured out it will stay on when the back cover is off As soon as I put the cover on it shuts off again.
Any ideas??

Look over the back of the phone and inside the cover for anything that looks abnormal. I can't imagine how simply putting the backplate on causes it to shut off unless something grounds out. The only thing on the backplate are the extensions for the antennas. If you find nothing, Try a factory reset from bootloader. This will wipe your internal sd also so backup everything. If that doesn't work, grab the latest gb ota from the dev section and try reflashing that.

I was trying to remove the cover quickly and I by accident removed a metal contact, as it shows on the pic. anybody knows what is that for? just for NFC? I tried to search online but found not much info on this.
thanks.

I don't think it's for NFC. I believe the one on the bottom left is for NFC. Might be wifi or something else.
I still have the metal contact, does anybody know how I can put it back? Or may be take it to a sprint store to get it fix? But I dont have insurance though.
I haven't notice any problems anyway.
Thanks for any help.

It looks like the NFC antenna. Shouldn't be much of a issue. Everything should work just fine. If you're signal goes weak or can't get lte then have it fixed it shouldn't be too hard. I could fix it at work in 5 mins.

soldering is the only way to fix this i guess right? Well if I see any future problems, I think is going to be a nice way to start learning how to solder lol.

Yes but you need a heat gun. A special heat gun or take your phone apart not something to learn on. If you can't surface mount solder already don't try you will do more damage then good. I wouldn't touch some else's phone much less mine to solder that contact. It's in a tricky and hard place to solder. I've been soldering on surface mount for 7 years and don't know if I could do it.

Hi everybody, I have a bit of a problem. I was rooted and unlocked running CM10.1 perfectly fine but with the minor bugs that come with Cyanogenmod, no biggie. Its not the first time ive been running custom ROMS, I unlocked/relocked and 2 times before that perfectly fine. I started noticing that while running cm10.1, I would touch one thing, and a bunch of other things get clicked on, and I couldn't back out of them, or press home. I have to lock the screen, then unlock it and it works, I thought it was just a bug. It got really annoying, so today I relocked and unrooted my phone back to stock. But it does the same thing. It will freeze constantly, touch screen calibration is off sometimes, and does things on its own now.... I cant take it to sprint because I dont have warranty, and my HTC warranty is voided because I unlocked it. Has anybody experianced the same thing? Any advice, fixes, solutions? It will do it about every 5 minutes or so. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Are you currently on a stock rom?

hmm, i think I might of figured it out, i take my phone with me when i shower, not literally with me in the shower, i set it down on the table counter top. But it gets really steamy in there, i think the steam could of got in the phone, and its drying out, probably explains the little bugs...maybe

Hello all, this is my first technical question at xda. I usually don't have problems as i never dirty flash and generally use caution when doing things.
My i605 randomly shut off today and was unresponsive. After a few battery pulls i was able to boot it back up. The phone would not call or text, even though the signal bars showed normal. Right away i flashed a new ROM after 3 full wipes and the dalvik cache wiped. The phone activated on my number right away and showed normal signal, but won't call or text. I updated the modem to the latest 5/3, still no luck. Suspecting it was my SIM card, i tried it in another device and the SIM works fine. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or anything i should try before reverting to completely stock?
Thanks everyone!

Not yet. But excellent idea. I will try that when I have one available. I just assumed that since my sim worked properly in another device that it was fine.

Didn't you just quote the entire OP?
I put my wife's Sim in today. Same problem. It has started receiving text messages but will not send them or call. Data still works as well. Is there anything further I can do besides updating the radios to try and fix this issue? Obviously something is working if it can receive messages.

Have you tried dirty flashing the ROM and seeing if that fixes the issues? That's been know to fix a multitude of issues that happen when things aren't properly copied over.

What were you doing when the phone locked up on you?
Did you notice any over heating, screen problems, lag. ETC.
What kind of case if any do you have on your NOTE 2.
What were atmospheric conditions (as this may have trapped moisture inside affecting the antenna)

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary really. No case, and i never keep my phone with me if moisture is around. (rain, sweat, etc.) My phone was on when i was driving to work, when i arrived it was off and unresponsive for a few minutes. I've only experienced maybe 2 or 3 reboots since I've had the phone, pretty much since launch.
I hadn't updated the radio/modem ever though. I don't know if this had anything to do with it.

I'm glad that everything is working for you on the replacement. If I were you I wouldn't wait to unlock though. Sammy is pushing an update, at least thru the VZW computer app, that may block our current boot loader exploit and may make it un-unlockable.

Have you checked the sim card to ensure there is no dirty contacts on it or that it is inserted completely?
Also, have you tried a different Rezound battery cover? The battery cover acts as your phone's primary antenna. If something is wrong or broken about it, it may not be making the proper contacts with your phone.

You could do like I did and shave all the contacts on the cover that touch pins on your phone. Make the metal shine a bit. See if that improved anything. Also, make sure your preferred network mode had lte and cdma in it

Just to make sure, you have been keeping up with Fly's CM updates? For a while, there was an issue with low signal strength. It was fixed about 3 weeks ago if I recall. Maybe a little more.
