I have had my phone from the time it came out after a year of using it the usb port got bad
So i decided to pack it on a side and buy a samsung j7 which i lost while on a bus so upon losing my j7 i decided to have my s6 fix
After i got it fixed i realized that the home back and folder buttons wont working but after factory resetting the phone it started working fine.
But after putting it in its wallet case which is ths case i got with it the issue came back
After factory resetting it again it began to work
My girlfriend put it back in the case and it stopped again
Is there a way to fix the pesty full problem cause i kind of clumsy when it comes to phones and i really need to put it in the case.

Try a different case? It's clear the case has become faulty I would say

I currently have a FFC modded vibrant and its acting up. I know this is an issue with some phones where it thinks the usb cable is plugged in when its not.
This just started happening yesterday after getting the phone on the day it was released. I have Odined back to stock, changed usb settings and multiple reboots the problem still exists in addition it needs to be plugged in to boot up. I got on the phone with TM and they thought it would be a good idea to replace it. So the rep proceeded to give me all the terms and asked me to give her the IME number and so forth. I then turned the phone back on and now its working fine. The replacement phone is on its way already. When she was reading me the terms she specified if the phone is damaged in anyway I will be charged $400+ for it and by doing this I have waived them replacing it for the insurance deductible.
Has anybody successfully covered that hole up so its not noticeable? And what steps were taken?
Should i just take a chance with my current phone and keep it although the problem might come back?
EDIT: It just started happening again after plugging it in with the official cable which feels kinda loose, I used a BlackBerry one which feels nice and tight right before and it was fine.
If it acts fine send them the new one back call them and tell them you figured it out you might not be able to replace it if it acts up again though cause you will be passing this replacement up
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
You opened the phone, which voided the warranty. I can't see any way of you easily covering the hole in a way that they won't notice it. You're likely going to be coughing up the $400.
I just recently repaired the screen on my Htc HD2 and now its not detecting my cellular network or connecting to my wifi network. My sound has stopped working as well, but I still get sound if the headphones are connected. Any ideas on what could cause this. I have already taken it apart again and made sure that everything is connected correctly so I don't know what the problem is.
check if any of the connectors are broken and out back in the right place
Ive tried that and still having the issue
It's most definitely a bad connection. I had the same problem with Wifi after I replaced my screen. The antenna went loose when I put it back into the rubber case. Take the wires out again and make sure you "click" them back where they belong.
By the way, how was it with the volume button? I had to do it 3 times before I got it back and working...
I got it to go back on the first time

well try cleaning the part where you put the connections back, did you try flashing a new rom, that could be a problem too, tho i doubt it
little tip for the sound button,
ive had the same last week , was stressed because that's the only part that didnt fitted
i pressed everything in the cover but just half , then added the volume button from the outside
if you are replacing the screen you will know what i mean. sorry for the english
@brokendojca
i guess a connecter isnt fitted right or maybe something has broken
goodluck
I was just curious if anyone was else was having the issues my first Titan II was having.
I just got it yesterday and within 2 hours it started trying to reboot itself only to freeze on the ATT screen. I would then turn the phone off and then turn it on and it would start working again. after another 5 reboots the phone would not get passed the ATT screen no matter how many factory resets I did. When I went to the Microsoft store to get a new phone (because of an obvious hardware issue) another customer next to me had the same problem.
Luckily the Microsoft store just gave me a new phone and I am a happy customer for now, my second phone seems to be working great.
I have no issues related to that at all to report.

OMFG...
I thought it was me but my new Titan II is doing the exact same thing of freezing @ the ATT screen. When I first got the phone and turned it on without a sim card installed , it froze at the ATT screen. I figured the battery wasn't charged enough. I then charged for 4 or 5 hours and the same thing freezing.
Then i figured it was the fact no sim was installed...still same problem.
Then out of the blue it started working normally. I thought hmmmm, maybe break in period...
I worked fine for about a day and a half, then while on a call, on speakerphone, i heard this kind of loud static sound and phone went dead. Then turned it back on and again froze at ATT screen Turned if off again and it worked again. Since this was my backup phone, I set it aside to try and decide if I bring it back would they beleive me or not. Knowing my luck, if I brought it back for an exchange, the thing would probably work fine in front of Microsoft employee and they'd think i was crazy. But not after reading this....
This phone is going back....I'm so glad I read this forum...
Thank you!
Did you make sure the back cover was on securely? If the cover is not make the proper contact to the pins inside the phone, the phone will shut off.

Are you sure? As with Titan this is not the case.
The pins inside the phone and the pins on the cover have no mechanism to support phone power. It only supports the network coverage. By bending or pushing them away there are good chances you will lose LTE or 3g and without complete contact might lose the network completely too!
BTW, I think HTC needs to get their act together. AT&T Titan's launch batch was rubbish and so was UK Titan launch batch. Nearly 50% had to replace the first handset (if you look at the old threads).
I am presuming you bought it very close to the launch as well so are still in the "launch stock" ?

No, he's right. If you take the back cover off, your phone will shut off automatically with the Titan II.

Well I brought it back and they exchanged it without the blink of an eye. They said they've had a few returns already for this same freezing problem for this particular phone ...They also said something to the affect that since this is a new phone it still has a lot of bugs in it...which in a way sounds resonable...
I turned on the phone before i left the store...it worked...let's hope it continues to...

Interesting!
Can anyone please upload a pic of opened Titan II!
Would be good to see what they've changed as Titan can work without the back cover with ease.

Actually, That is exactly what I asked in a thread I started about the titan's signal strength.
But, since nobody posted a picture of the titan II with the back cover off, I started to do my own research on Google and I now understand why nobody posted it.
It is impossible to take the back cover off the titan II !
It has a uni-body design with no battery cover and no removable battery!!!
I don't really like this ...
Here is a pic of it with the slide-off panel for the sim card slot;

According to the review, in the case that the phone locks up, you can turn off phone by taking off the sim cover. Actually a pretty slick idea to mimic a battery pull when the battery is immobile fixed in the phone. I was wondering why it turns the phone off on my Titan 2
Aloha,
I have a Stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I was sitting on my couch watching tv when my phone lit up. I thought I got a message, picked it up and it said the charger connected is not genuine and charging was stopped to protect the phone (not the exact message). It was not plugged into anything. I ignored the screen. After a few minutes the screen activated again but was completely black with the exception of a tiny "x" in the bottom left corner of the screen. A voice came on and said to connect my Gear VR and install the Gear VR app. I do not own a Gear VR and until this issue did not know what it was. There was nothing I could do to get out of the screen. I tried to restart the phone and couldn't. Finally did a hard reboot. After booting up like normal it was only a minute before it did the same thing again. It renders the phone completely useless. I booted into safe mode and uninstalled everything related to Gear VR. There were no less than 3 apps that I did not install (I am assuming Samsung pushed them to the phone). It seemed to do the trick but the next day the apps were back and it did it again. I called Verizon, they had no idea what to do. They had me wipe the phone. It worked for a day before doing it again. I called Samsung and they had never heard of the issue. I can't find a thread here of anyone else with the issue either, however there are at least 50 people on YouTube that have commented on the following video with the same issue.
Here is a video of the issue (not me but someone else with the same issue)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtdahXCetu4
Here is the deal... Samsung was unable to help. They sent me a new phone under warranty. Its been 2 weeks and now the new one is doing the same thing!!!! I don't understand how this is so persistent an issue and no one on xda has posted on it. To make things more complicated when I had the first issue I was able to go into safe mode then application manager and uninstall the apps. Now they are appearing are no longer appearing under "installed" apps, it appears with the system apps and cannot be uninstalled. I have never experienced anything like this.
So there it is, I am hoping the genius of XDA can help where Samsung has failed. Thank you in advance for all the great work you guys do!
i got the same problem on my note 4... i try falshing a lot of oficial firmwares but nothing work

I was able to find a work around for the problem. I am not satisfied considering Samsung has offered no solution and taken no responsibility. However, if you boot into safe mode by holding the volume down and power button at the same time you can use your phone. Then go to play store and download Package Disabler Pro. This will allow you to disable the faulty Samsung Gear VR bloatware apps without rooting. It's a $2 band-aid but the solution worked for me. It has the added bonus of getting rid of all the other bloatware they load on the phone too. NFL app, I am looking at you! There was someone who said they cleaned the usb port and that worked. It didn't work for me though. So far no help from the XDA community, what's up with that?
I already install the app... thanks for the tip... but my USB port is not responding.... no charging, some times show me power sharing USB mode on... no OTG working... do you have and a idea of how to clean it?

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean your electronics. Typically a q-tip works fine but it will not get into the port so you need to find something that will get in there. You might be able to use a cloth dipped in the alcohol and something narrow like the blunt end of a needle to work it in the port. Don't go too crazy. Rubbing the alcohol along the contacts is usually sufficient. Unless you got something corrosive on the contacts. Good luck to you.
my s6 edge was having the same problem every time i plug the cable in the micro usb port, samsug gear vr pops out and next black screen with x. additional problem 1. not able to recognize by pc 2. disconnecting while charging 3. fast charging is not working 4. sometimes it take 4 hrs to charge.
having this problem for almost a month now tried everything from hard reset , cleaning the micro usb port and i dont wanna wait for 3 months without a phone for the warranty
fortunately i was able to fix it by my self yesterday. the problem was the flat metal in the middle of the micro usb port was pushed downward (screen facing up) so i just needed to lift it up a bit by using some flat tweezers (pls be careful) and everything works fine now.. solved all the problems i mentioned above
work 100%
OK. So I bought this j7 sky pro (straight talk) two days ago. I am sitting here reading something on facebook and it freezes. No big deal, I pull the battery restart and its stuck in a boot loop at the tracfone screen. I got it to boot into safe mode once, and it froze in safe mode before I could do anything. So I wiped the cache, no change, I did a factory reset, no change. Now it wont get past the tracfone screen to even boot in safe mode. From what I gather there is no options to root this phone and install any custom software so, any ideas?
I could return the phone, but I threw all my household garbage into a 5 foot deep hole in the sand a mile behind the house and buried it and filled the ditch it with sand.... I would like to not get the backhoe out and dig up a freaking box so I can return the phone to WalMart. I guess I could buy another one for $150 and use the packaging from the new phone to return the old one but if this thing is such a piece of shat, I'd rather return it and pay the difference and just get a s6 or whatever for $400....
I couldnt find any negative reviews that specifically related to my problem. Anyone have an opinion on whether or not this phone is pure trash or did I just get a lemon?
SMH
oh and when I try to boot into safemode sometimes some glitches or colored lines appear on the screen but mostly either the samesung logo freezes as its drawing and it reboots or it makes it to the tracfone logo and then reboots and is just stuck in a loop.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
I am so incredibly tight over this phone I am considering setting it up on a 5 gallon bucket and seeing how many times I can hit it with a 7mm Remington Mag before its gone.
:| This is so not a 31337 phone...
If I'm in your place I will return directly that phone , from srart you have problem with that device ? That means is not good device , maybe is way to fix that by flasing again stock rom but I think is more better to return that cell phone because maybe is mainbord BAD .
