Hey everyone,
I tried popping open my phone and doing the DIY GPS fix of lifting the prongs and camera lens replacement, I think I ended up damaging something with the heat from the hair dryer... cus after I reassembled my mobile everything popped back into place but now the phone is just giving one buzz and a black screen when I press the power button.
I tried connecting the charger but no response, even the LED for charging is not lighting up. Any idea what I must've done wrong or how I can get it fixed?
thanks for the advice
Doesn't sound good. I'm not familiar with the mod you performed but doing these kinds of things are hazardous if your not careful and even if you are.
Is your devices recognized when you connect it to a computer? In MS Windows you might see something show up in device manager. I would open up the device again, disassemble / reassemble, and hope it comes back to life. This has happened to be in the past and the issue would mysteriously resolve itself.
Maybe pop out back apart and make sure all the flex cables are connected properly if not. Sorry for your loss

Hello,
I've searched around and haven't found anyone with the same issue that I'm having right now. I'm not sure where else to look, but everyone from these forums seems to know exactly what to do with any type of phone, so I'm hoping someone knows what to do with mine.
I have and HTC Rezound and I was replacing the digitizer. I had it replaced and turned the phone on only to notice some crap in between the LCD and the digitizer that I didn't wipe away when I was replacing it. The phone worked perfectly at this point. I took the phone apart again to clean everything and turn it back on. Now my phone will not turn on. I've plugged it into the outlet and it shows me the red charge light for about 5 seconds, then it turns off. The battery is not an issue since I had the thing on 10 mins prior.
I'm wondering if I could have scratched something on the MB or if this is an issue that might just happen sometimes. There were a few things I noticed while replacing everything with my phone that I'll share. The ribbon cable for my LCD seems to get a very weak connection to the MB while plugging it in. I've also taken out the vibrator motor due to having to take apart and reassemble the phone so many times. I don't think either of those two things would cause a phone not to start up, but then again what do i know.
I'm not running any kind of ROM, this is just a regular ass Rezound. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Well I know the hard way that static electricity can kill a MB, you should be wearing gloves when tinkering inside your phone. Hope it's something a lil easier to fix though!

Okay, so, embarrassing problem here.
A few weeks back, I was shopping for bourbon and broke my phone screen while it was in my pocket. I'm not sure of the exact mechanics of that, but its what happened, and it was odd. Anyway, I ordered a new screen, because I've replaced screens before, so I felt pretty confident I could handle it.
So, today was the big day. I took my tool kit, pried the sucker open, and (aside from losing track of the front camera momentarily), everything went rather smoothly. I put everything back in its place, and attempted to boot the phone.
Nothing. Naturally. Prying it back open and examining it closely, I notice a small tear in the ribbon cable that connects the power button to the phone. I may be wrong here, but there doesn't seem to be a way to replace the power button, because the ribbon cable that connects it also connects to the headphone jack, which is soldered to the board. So I'm left with a phone without power button that is, in theory at least, otherwise perfectly functional. Frustrating.
Anyway, all of this brings me to my actual question. Is there any way I can boot this sucker without a power button? My tablet (asus transformer) boots when connected to power, but not this phone. I've read some phones will autoboot when connected to power without a battery, but obviously that isn't really feasible with the hox+. And of course, I can't connect to adb without the phone being on to begin with. So I'm stuck, and any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
My UK Galaxy s3, on 3uk Network, running CyangenMod V 10.1.3-i9300 is having problems (hardware issues, not related to software)
To simplify my issues I will break it down into parts
A. Problems:
1. My phone will not charge, nothing happens when inserting the micro usb charger.
2. My phone signal (3uk) comes and goes randomly.
3. When trying to charge phone whilst it is switched off, an explanation mark and temperature gauge appear flashing and the phone vibrates as the icons flash. the phone does not charge.
B. Cause:
This all started when I was walking in heavy rain for about an hour, my phone was within a pocket on my supposedly waterproof jacket. I returned home, removed my phone to find it drenched, I removed the battery and left the phone to dry out for around 24 hours. Now I have the issues above.
C. Advice Please:
Is my phone ready for the scrap heap? I am ready to list it as faulty for spares or repair only on eBay and buy another phone. Before I replace my phone is there any chance of bringing it back to its former glory?
If anyone knows what are the likely problems or how to fix them I might have a go at repairing it.
D: Further info:
I have had my phone for around 18 months and it is a little battered, the screen is fine as I always had a screen protector on it, but the chrome trim is a little scratched and dented. I really fancy a new phone but ideally wanted to wait to March when I can upgrade my phone without penalty.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Oliver
1 Charger or cable or USB faulty .
2 Network problems .
3 Overheating .
But all this sounds much more like internal component fried due to moisture .
Could be the usb port .
check charging port connector, disassemble and clean with cleaning solution.

I tried cleaning with compressed air, an electric toothbrush and a cloth but no success
I have some TimCleaan, CPU thermal paste remover knocking around, maybe I should give that a go?
I managed to remove the 2 lower screws near the usb port and remove the plastic but iot still isnt easy to clean right inside of the port
Thanks for your advice
What happens when you connect the phone to a computer ?

I've just tried it connected to my PC, unfortunately the phone responses the same as when connected to the outlet plug. I think I'll list it on eBay, I
just wondered if they might be an easy fix, but it doesn't look like it.
I'm eyeing up a LG G2 as a replacement, but perhaps I should get something more robust or waterproof lol
Cheers everyone
For charging issue... few months back my S3 was too not being charged, i was too in rain with waterproof jacket and phone in pocket. but i never had that exclamation sign and temperature gauge. i fixed it by changing the micro usb port of the phone. that solved my problem but for other issues, i dont know what is causing that.
Wife fixed it (partly)
I gave up on this phone, but the wife picked up my tools and said she fancied a p[lay around. She stripped the phone used some liquid gold we had lying around and brushed the pins on the back of the micro usb port. she bushed a few other things spray compressed air and put it together again.
The usb port now charges, the only issue now is the signal coming and going all the time. if a call connects it holds the signal but otherwise the signal works for 10 secs then goes off for around 10 secs continuously.
Any ideas anyone?

i think because of water inside your phone, the signal receiver is too not working, try to clan the receiver too..

Intermittent signal problem.
Phone is completely dry and has been cleaned everywhere. The antenna has been disconnected and reconnected and I have reflashed CyanogenMod 10.1.3
The intermittent signal problem continues
Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to try a new sim, but I really don't think is the sum card because if I make a call whilst I have signal the call doesn't drop, it stays connected until I hang up, then the signal goes and comes again
My WiFi and everything else on the phone is perfect. Any ideas anyone please?

Can you detach the antenna cable reference image below.
check the red mark if there are some moisture, clean it
So unexplainably my g5 started showing me this. Also plugging into charger does nothing. Don't know if factory reset would fix or if this is a hardware issue. I've been looking online but none of the genuine replacements confirm fitting this variant. Anyone have some insight to these matters?
Also that screenshot is without being plugged in. That message doesn't disappear.
That's very odd. If it doesn't actually harm anything I would just let it be. A new bottom chin is gonna cost you, but it's worth is up to you.
Btw, what font/theme are you running? It looks gorgeous

Mine did this and it drove me crazy it would act as if I was plugging and unplugging constantly..
I disassembled it cleaned it all kinds of stuff....
It seemed like the hotter the device got the worse it was
I had this exact same issue on my H850 sometime back, did you by any chance get the phone wet? Changing the bottom chin had no effect in my case, it had to be sent in for repairs and when i got it back the entire phone except the screen was replaced. If you have warranty I suggest you send the phone in and they'll likely replace all required parts.
Did some digging and it turns out that the charging port of charger and phone get dirty and when they do u have to clean them. I used rubbing alcohol. Dipped unplugged charger male end. And disconnected the bottom chin. They *ucked for like 2 minutes. Blew it out with a can of air and boom problem solved

Hey Guys,
Recently my V30 has had a blinking arrow inside the battery icon. I've searched the internet and can't find any info on it. Can anyone give me some insight? The phone is only a few months old and hasn't been in the water.
Thanks!

I have the same issue. It's causing a huge battery drain! Were you able to resolve the issue?
Yeah, Turns out it means there's battery drain due to moisture in the charging port. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean the charging port and it eventually went away. You may have some debris in there. Was really difficult to figure out what that arrow meant. Wish there was better documentation.

Are you the same person who suggested this solution on Reddit or you read it on reddit and then tried it?
I think it's because the charger you used is giving too much current to your phone. You can fix this by connecting your phone to something that has low current like laptop or computer usb port and then wait for a while so that your phone can adjust
Ok so idk if I'm the first or probably the last one to encounter this issue but I'll be honest here. My device is LG G8X DUAL SCREEN. In the past week or so, I noticed that my phone randomly stopped charging whilst being plugged in. I thought that it could be some dirt clogged into the post so I cleaned it with a Q tip and some surface cleaner. Didn't seem to work. I let it be and felt it would go away eventually. Or so didn't I felt. I tried resetting the device (factory reset) and that didn't seem to budge the constant blinking of a right arrow inside the battery icon. Around here, I saw someone suggesting IPA and felt I should really give it a try. About 30 minutes before I tried that method and since then there hasn't been the issues so far. I'll keep y'all posted and will ping if issue persits. Hope this helps those in need

Update:
The issue still persists, can't find a way to stop it. Only possible solution is to replace the charging port

Yeah I had to get the usb port replaced on my V30 due to this issue. That fixed it.
hmm
I solved my blinking arrow problem, with a new USB C cable, try that aswell.
