Dead android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, i own a ZTE 967s device,
lately my device was malfunctioning (shutting down and freezing), i flashed a new rom and i found out that after reseting applications cache memory the "proccess has stopped" problem stopped.
today my device shutted down and nothing can recovers it. everything is black. even the charging led. the only thing i noticed is that when i plug it to my pc, the sound of something connected comes out and after some seconds the sound that disconnected, and that loops for ever.
any idea?

Try bootloader mode when you have the phone plugged in to the computer.

[Q] Charging only when turned off, 4.1.1.

Hi, everyone. I've seen the other threads and no one had a problem quite like mine.
Yesterday I've upgraded my Alcatel OT-997, ICS 4.0.4. with Kuano's TWRP and now it's:
Alcatel OT-997D, JB 4.1.1. - (details in this thread, 5th post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981692&page=89
D means I can now use two SIM cards, which is cool.
The problem is the damn thing doesn't charge when it's turned on. It shows the lightning bolt over the battery icon, but in settings shows that charger is not connected. However, when it's turned off it charges, normally. I tried different settings in USB menu: Mass storage, MTP, Camera mode and Charge. Tried with and without Debugging mode. All of those work when connected to a computer in the sense that I can use internal storage, access both SD cards, and so on. But it doesn't charge.
I have tried 3 different cables, 3 wall outlets, and 2 PCs so it's not that. I suppose it's not a hardware problem otherwise it wouldn't charge properly when it's turned off.
So now I use schedule to turn it off before I go to sleep, and to turn on before I wake up, so it would charge while I'm sleeping. Anyone's got any ideas how to fix it?
Bump
Well I solved it with reinstall
Finally I've lost my patience so I tried the only thing that was left.
First I did a backup with TWRP.
Then, factory reset from TWRP.
Then, restore system from One Touch Upgrade 2.8.0 - lost the DUAL capability, software restored to 4.0.4.
Now comes the interesting part. It had the same problem as before, did not charge while on. So I tried a solution I found online a while ago but I never tried when on 4.1.1: Turn it off, connect charger, remove battery, wait a bit, press power button for approx 10 sec (nothing hapens), wait a bit, instert battery, turn it on and there it is. I'm not sure if it was this procedure that did the trick or it simply needed a reboot after update but it worked. It showed "charging" in battery stats.
Finally, restore with TWRP as Kuano explained in his post. Mind you, when I did the restore it was connected to my PC all the time.
Now two things I you should know:
First, before I did all this I connected it to my PC while turned off i.e. (PC - ON, phone - OFF). I noticed this: it was constantly connecting and disconnecting (the "piano chord" notification was coming from the computer speakers every 5 sec) like I was pulling the cable in and out. That is all I know about this, I didn't have the nerves to work on it.
Second, now that it is restored and charging, when I connected it to PC it couldn't change USB setting from Charge to MTP. It reported an error something like "service stopped". This happened only once and I did not try to do it again, I just don't have the energy for any more problem fixing right now. It charges, and I use airdroid for file transfer, that is all I need for now. If and when I get around to take a look at it I'll post here if there's something interesting.

[Q] HTC desire X stuck in bootloader screen

hi! i have found similar threads, but they did not help me solve the problem, so here i am, writing a new one sorry guys. also sorry for my bad english, it is not my primary language..
i have an htc desire X which has a damage only on the outside display, the touch screen worked perfectly. then, all of the sudden the phone kept restarting, freezing for few seconds on the HTC welcome screen, then turning off again. it did that for about few hours then died completely, battery wouldn't charge either. on charge, red light on, no sign of life.
i have bought a new battery, and the phone turned on and did the same again, restarting every few seconds. i have pushed the low volume button + start combination, to have it go to the bootloader menu. since then it is frozen on that menu, stuck there. no buttons would work. they do work to get to the menu, but on bootloader not anymore.
i am a newbie, i dont know what to do, except for the fact that i have all contacts still in the internal storage and i was hoping to save them to an external disk/pc/microsd.
when i restarted the phone, the sim and the microsd were already out.
connecting the usb cable to the pc doesnt bring me anywhere either, my pc says "device not recognized" then it doesnt see any device.
please help me to get my data out somehow:crying:
little update:
this morning the "smart"-phone is not stuck anymore, i was able to get to the bootloader and select recovery, BUT unfortunately any attempt to push the on button to confirm it went wrong, phone keeps just restarting or freezes again on HTC welcome screen. any idea?

[Q] Handsfree mode constantly on/off, phone is useless.

Hello guys... and girls
My phone have some strange behavior. 20 minutes ago, I was browsing the internet, and suddenly started to appear steering wheel in left upper corner. And it is so frequently that in one second it appear/disappear about 4-5 times. Tried to restart it but no changes. It wont recognize the charger also. Right now battery is on 3% and i turned off the phone. Even when the phone is off, charger doesnt charge the bat. Few days ago i have noticed that when i turn off mobile data or wifi, on screen appears "error in downloading data", and sometimes, "failure in initializing camera". And one more strange thing i have noticed is that mine subkeys lights turn on without touching them, and stays on until i lock the phone. Phone is rooted, and installed official 4.3 software. What should i do, because right now, the phone is useless?
Try flashing latest firmware with Odin and factory reset, but so many things at once sound like water damage to the motherboard.

P9000 restarts itself

Sometimes my P9000 reboots itself when charging, connected to the pc or even when I'm just sending a text message, I don't think that this is normal
re flash the rom
I'm seeing the same here - Elephone ROM latest update installed - so far I can live with it...
I have the same issue... but today has 3 days that don't occur.
mine too
i have the same problem, every time i plug the phone in it restarts itself, this is so very annoying, it is not normal and probably it is not good for the phone.... Sometimes it restarts out of the blue(not plugged in) but this is a rare thing....
it is unexceptable
The problem is with the software. You must disable the backup of android in settings (Backup and reset) and reboot the phone and solved the problem.

Unbrick Ulefone S10 Pro

Evening all!
I managed to brick an Ulefone S10 Pro by trying to flash a rom onto it which ended in a brief error message and then the screen went black.
Since then, it wont boot up. There is just a black screen and it vibrates briefly as if it's starting up but then nothing, before repeating ad infinitum.
When I connect it to a computer, the computer makes the connection sound, then a few seconds later, the disconnection sound. Nothing is shown on the phone nor the PC at this time.
I have no clue what to do as it doesnt stay connected to the computer long enough to be recognised before disconnecting and nothing appears on the phone screen. Ive tried disconnecting the battery and connecting to the computer without it but the same thing happens
Haylp! :laugh:
Thanks
