Hi folks ☺ how are you all doing?
So I have a question and maybe one of you will be able to awnser me.
I have a Mi6, but I got stolen last year, and a few months latter I managed to get it back. But I got it back with a few problems... The biggest one and the most annoying was the wifi, it just stopped working, I tried everything. The other annoying thing is that I only managed to install the stock rom, every other custom rom, even those MIUI based didn't work.
So, if with my original phone I already had a few problem after getting it "second hand", if I buy a used pocophone, would a simple clean up of the sellers phone enought to save me from some annoyances like the ones I had. I really doesn't like MIUI, the notification is so broke that I will install another rom as soon as I got a pocophone.

hi,
i apologize in advance for the long post
a few days ago i finally decided to root my phone and install a custom rom....and i succeeded in doing that too, but this is where my one and only issue started coming up....
ok, so after rooting, i decided to install villain rom 10.2 (its a great rom by the way)...after installing it, everything was working fine until i opened up the messages area...when i open up a conversation the order of the messages are messed up. And its due to the fact that the time stamps on the messages that i'm receiving are an hour ahead of the time on my phone. And the time on my phone is the correct local time for my area. The time zone that i've set on the phone is GMT+6 (islamabad, karachi)...now as far as i can remember my time zone should be GMT+5 and not 6 due to the fact that we dont use daylight savings time here....and im pretty sure thats what the issue is too. i tried numerous ways to fix this, even tried selecting auto detect time and date from network, but not even that worked.
So, after spending all that time without fixing the issue (im a heavy texter so not having the conversations in order is a problem for me), i decided to try another rom, so i went with villainroms superhero rom...and the same thing occurred with that....
So finally, i've reverted back to my last official rom (1.5)(2.73.405.5)
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, or if they know of a custom rom where this issue doesnt occur please do let me know.
Also,
How can you tell where your phone is from? i have an unbranded htc hero, but how do i know whether its from europe or asia?
and would it be possible for me to flash the official htc 2.1 rom thats on the Taiwan website even if my phone isnt from there?
I searched signal loss, and dropped signal but could not find a thread that matched my problem. I have found some people with similar problems through google search but I haven't seen any fixes.
Here we go...
I got my first atrix BRAND NEW in July. It ran perfect! Updated to GB, factory reset it and everything was working great. Couple weeks later it started doing random restarts. It got to the point where it would lock up at the M logo for 10-20 min or sometimes even constantly so I would have to pull the battery. It got so bad that I had to take it in for warranty. I had this phone for over a month with NO signal problems what so ever.
I get the 1st remanufactured Atrix and it is dropping signal left and right. I called up ATT and jumped through their hoops, turned it off, let them mess with it, factory reset it and NOTHING. Still had the same problem, would go from 3 bars to 4 bars then it will drop signal and the red circle will show up. probably happens about 5 times per minute.
They tell me to take it back, so I oblige. I go up to the warranty center and they give me a new sim card and say that should fix it.... NOPE, Still doing the same exact thing so I take it back up there again. The give me another(#2) remanufactured phone. I finish the setup and guess what... Still have a worthless signal and it is dropping out a lot.
For reference, signals on the first two replacement atrix's are running anywhere from 84dbm up to 120dbm and hangs most of the time around 96dbm.
I am now on my FOURTH remanufactured Atrix(5th overall) and still having the same problem. ATT are being total douche nozzles as they will not release me from my contract. I have spent over 30 hours dealing with them on this problem thus far and I am getting extremely tired of it.
Just for reference, my Wife has an I4 and she is not experiencing any of these problems. I also travel a lot and I experience the same problem in Dallas(home), Midlothian(hour south of Dallas), Washington DC, Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland among other places. I am pretty sure this is a software glitch since it happens wherever I am.
I have a home office and work from home. I told ATT that if this was happening with my original BRAND NEW Atrix that I would have taken it back in a heartbeat. There is not a chance I would deal with losing data and dropping signal for over a month with a brand new phone.
So, my question I guess is this. If this is a software problem, would it be best to try and root and see if that fixes it? Or will that not change a problem like this. The remanufactured phones came with 2.3 installed while my first one had 2.2 and I had to upgrade it myself. Is there a way I can remove 2.3 from this phone and reinstall it to see if that fixes it? I am completely open to suggestions as I have run out of options.
I know exactly what you mean. I also had 3-4 *new* atrixs right from att. (Around late July) Every time instead of addressing the problems, they just gave me a new device. Eventually I decided to root and unlock my bootloader. BEST decision that I could have made. As soon as I installed a different ROM it was as if I had a new device. I was about to exchange it for a different device and now I'm really glad that I didn't. For the signal issues I would try flashing a new radio to see if that helps at all.

My first atrix was like that and it was a refurbished one. On my 2nd, it is completely fine. I think you should tell them to send you NEW atrix instead of a refurb.
that sounds like really terrible luck. i a agree, i think it would help a lot if you rooted your phone and installed some custom rom. although there may be truth with what Semseddin and might actually still be something awry with the refurbs

Unfortunately I have tried to get them to send me a new phone but they will not do it. I tried several times, even talked to the managers about it and nothing.
What is ridiculous is that when my first phone crashed I was only like 14 days past the return period where I could have received a NEW Atrix. I tried explaining this too them and they would not do anything to help me. I have been with Cingular/ATT for over 10 years and they obviously didn't care.
I think i will just try a new rom and see how that goes.
Hmm..well if you've absolutely made up ur mind on rooting ur phone and installing custom roms then i would recommend u to use the DarkSide ROM since it seems to have most of the fixes u need (including the signal loss..See ChangeLog for more)
Also, if u've already tried Randomverll's idea of flashing a new radio and still it didn't help, it may be a hardware problem..anyway try flashing a new rom and see
Hey folks,
I've been having few issues with my phone since i bought it brand new the day it released in Germany (I am not german however, haha) - sometimes it would be slow, it would overheat and apps would be crashing because of that.
In november last year, I decided to try and solve that headache (honestly not worthy of the premium price I paid for it when it was new) by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a different kernel (not sure which one now). All seemed well for a few days, but them the fingerprint scanner stopped working (hardware not found), camera would freeze the phone for about a minute before restarting the whole UI, the battery would drain at a stupidly high rate (1 hour screen on time would leave me with 50 % battery in the afternoon, and I am not even doing anything system heavy) and the bluetooth was as buggy as before (the notorious terrible range of it). :crying:
So i figured the kernel was at fault and decided to flash stock firmware from Sony. I tried 3 different stock firmwares and oh my god, It's still there. I think unlocking the bootloader has inflicted all this. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to get rid of atleast the fingerprint and camera problems? I am almost certain I will replace the phone soon for something else, but for the sake of trying to fix what was wrong from the factory and for the fact I might want to sell the phone, I want to make it work. I don't think returning it to the store for a replacement would work, since I managed to crack the back glass at one point last year and they'll just refuse it for mechanical damage ...
Thanks for any suggestions. Phone's not rooted, I could not figure out a reasonable way on how to do it, I am not very skilled in this regard, even though I had rooted my 2 previous Nexus phones (speaking of which, I miss my Nexus 4, but no 4G and bad battery made me change to Sony).
Aaaaanyway, I updated to 7.0 Nougat from one of our nation's carriers and so far so good. Will keep you posted, especially if things go south again. :cyclops:
Hi, I have had reboots before but never like this and always with several months to half year apart, yesterday my phone started rebooting if i touched something in the menu. Of course I thought it were virus or malware that had infected the system or some faulty app that had done something to the ROM.
Therefore I got the stock ROM I had saved for just in case and another one I would try if ever I got tired of this phone(then use it for test purpose):
Stock ROM: Lenovo_A916_USR_S1205_141013
Second one, without bloatware: A916_USR_S206_baralajbi
Both from www.needrom.com
And I flashed the phone with first A916_USR_S206_baralajbi - unfortunately this one has problem with the charging animation when the phone is off, a small issue but enough for me to go back to stock ROM.
So I flashed with stock ROM.
Unfortunately in both cases it did not solve the reboot issue, so now I'm a big ?
Can it be the battery that suddently went dead?
Or can it be some other issue, like the ram being filled up and need to be zeroed out(read somewhere that this type of ram is not like HDD so not getting emptied just by deleting files, it will happened over time, when its overwritten)?
I really need some geniuses here, I'm in the Philippines right now until end of may, of course I could buy another phone, Dogee, HomTom, cherry mobile or asus zenphone but all has a price a bit out of my budget, and i need to save money for the trip home. Unfortunately I really need my phone.
Most of my data is backed up so I can just restore it, to new phone.
Hope someone has a way to bring back my Lenovo

EDIT: I'm still in need of help with this, I'm just sitting here waiting for someone to answer - can't do much else.
No one know what to do about this or what the cause is?
Hi guys, another one for the Solutions Corner, it was the battery - strange that "geniuses" at Lenovo + nobody here couldn't come up with that!
With new battery the phone is no longer rebooting!

Hello, guys. I am recovering my Xperia Z2 to be used by my Mum right now, I am getting a battery replacement and a microphones replacement. Before, I have checked the waterproofness of the phone, but it seems that I got killed micros and I have completely stuck with a microphone issue. People hear me like I am staying in a tunnel, that's why I just purchased the S7 Edge and didn't mind it. But, the Nexus 4 died, and I would like to give a sony to my Mum.
I would like to get rid off from a rooted 6.0 with a couple of tweaks (useless), xposed, e.t.c, also I have the recovery installed, and I don't want to get the recovery erased. And, I want to get a fresh install of 5.0.2/5.1.1. But, I would like to keep it rooted, and install the Cyberian Camera on it.
Or, any other rom which would possibly have a working microphone drivers.
I just don't remember all this things, because I haven't flashed the phones for ages. Please asssist me, I would be really thankful. :cyclops:

1 - download your FTF rom http://xperiafirmware.com;
2- Install Recovery Preferably TWRP;
3- Flash kernel to downgrade;
4- flash kernel to update;

Guys, maybe someone would be interestered:
I have found a solution of Xperia's Z2 microphone issue. I have replaced the Z2's microphones with Z3's microphones, and now, the phone calls are clear, and the phone works perfeclty. I decided to keep the 6.0, because with a new micros, same frimware worked fine. But, I still had too much **** installed, and I have just perfromed a fresh install of eXistenZ. I had a talk with a guy from a Sony repair shop, and he said that this thing with Z3 micros working 100%. This is not a software program, don't waste your time.
