Never. You could have a faulty USB connector on your board. Get it warrantied.

Oohh, well thanks for the opinion

My I9000 send smses on his own during power on HELP

Hi
I got the sgs gt I9000
A few frinds told me that I sent them smses more than once, after we finished owr chat.
For ex: I smsed my friend yesterday at 00:00 4 smses. The device turned off at 07:00 this morning, and sent them again to her wheb I turned it on.
I didn't find any connection between the time I sent the sms to the time it was turned off.
It's like the sms is still in the outbox, after it is already sent, and when I turn the device off/on it sends it again.
Anyone knows about this kind of a problem?
Its round 4 smses a day, it's round 120 a month, in $ it's an exra 20$ to the monthly bill...

Thanks

It might be the background MOSAD app playing up ;-D
If you use another app for sms try uninstalling it and check again...
Also check the last apps you installed before the problem appeared

Hi
I'm using the original app for sms, I like it a lot.
I uses Handcent, but thought it was the cause, so I uninatalled it.
I even uninstalled an app I used for popup sms.
All was b4 I wrote the post.
What I think ia left to do is reflash, and install app by app, to see what causes it. But it's a very long procedure.

lolz. touche. also from the title the device definitely sounds possessed, but now I've gone off topic.
I change the batteries in my device once a day so I don't over-cycle/over-stress them, it happens to give the dual purpose of a reboot which is good for the phone. Turning the phone off has its places.
looks like the same poltergeist as mine, infact random clicks often sends sms or gtalks just a matter of luck

[ Q ] not turning on

So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..
Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.
How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

It was plugged for like an hour or so and no dice.

Not sure if it would help your specific problem, but my thread covers every fix known-to-man for issues such as yours. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Try leaving it plugged in overnight. I once had a laptop battery die on me, had to plug it in for like a week before it would turn on again.

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.

Yup - there is a sticky that covers this method, and all the other methods as well. For anyone else suffering from similar N7 issues, be sure to check it out. Either go to stickies in this Troubleshooting section, or use this link.

Samsung customer service..(rant!)

Samsungs customer service is a joke, wrote the voice of the customer (samsung website) a lengthy email and I get back a canned response that doesn't even address my concerns. In this day and age you would believe a company would actually want to keep customers
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
What was the problem I'm curious. I did a chat with Samsung and they told me a bunch of things to do that you tell clueless people, like restart your phone or factory reset. The worst part is he told he never heard pf anyone complaining about the issue I was describing. Yet there are threads all over the internet about it. It's pathetic.
One thing I absolutely loved about Apple is that you walk into their store, you show them a legitimate problem and you walk out with another phone. No BS no runaround no nothing. That's the only thing I miss and I miss it a lot.
I'm with you techweed, I'm having the dreaded wifi is unstable message, the first tech support rep admitted it's a software issue and to deal with it. The last samsung rep said to send it in and be without a phone for five days. I tried to tell them they can't fix this since it's a software issue but they said the same thing to me about not having ever heard about this issue. I'm so close to going back to apple it's not even funny

If they made a phablet I would seriously consider going back barring some incredible device being released by one of the Android manufacturers.
I hear you, it's crazy I've had all the notes, I love this phone when it works but it seems the note 2 was much more refined

I thought we established that this method does not work for everyone?
The funny thing is that the unstable wifi issue started occurring after a few days, not right away. Can someone provide a technical explanation why it's happening? I've never had this issue in any Samsung phone.

worst customer service
the galaxy note 3 is wonderful machine
BUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST EVER
AND NEED DECADES TO REACH THE LEVEL OF APPLE CARE
since i bought my galaxy note 3, i have the problem of overheat... which is very known
i visited so many times reparation center in my city
and send it to the main reparation center in Paris
and after one month waiting ... they return the phone fter resetting it only... WTF
and when i saw my wife iphone who had the same problem and being replaced after one call only and within 3 days... i'm really wanna throw this phone to nearest garbage...
more than 3 months have been passed and over 15 times call to customer service
and 9 times went to reparation center including once to main one...
to end by defected phone and can't be use more than 2 - 3 minutes...
Guess what? ALL "Customer Service" is a joke. In fact, customer service no longer exists. Welcome to 2014.

Nexus detected by anti theft security system

Odd things happen lately, no matter where I go with my nexus 4 anti theft systems at local stores like JC penny, Macy, old navy. Once I enter the store, the anti theft system beeps what the f**k? Or I leave the store. Anybody experiencing this?
I definitely can't say that I have

Nah, I don't think it's NFC, the maximum range is roughly around 10 cm, which is relatively short.
But what makes your think it's the Nexus that is triggering the alarm?
Well thought it was my vape at first. Its the phone in my op cuz happens to me and the wife she is stock I'm rooted. And its the only thing I'm my pocket when it happens JC Penny's old navy ross's k mart Walmart . its weird
Never had this happen nowhere in Germany. However I bought some boots once and months later in a random store the alarms went off. Showed one shoe was not unlocked when I bought it

It does it to me on my rooted and my wife's stock nexus
This has never happened to me with either of my phones (N4 running AOSP custom rom or Atrix HD running CM11) or any of my past phones (iPhone 3GS jailbroken, Atrix 4G CM10), but my Surface Pro 2 does set off those things when going into my school library

The solution would probably be to stop hiding under your clothes the T-shirt that you grabbed from previous store!!
That would stop the noise ?

Charge connections on the S5?

So one week ago my brother gave me his s5, with the phone info app it showed me that the device has around 300 charge connections and now one week later it shows me OVER 2000!!! How can this be possible; the charger is the original one. The only thing i took from my old phone were the sim and sd card. But can they harm the charge connections??? I really have no clue whats going on. Can somebody please help me?

It's still really interesting because on my old S3 this happened too (over 13000 chargings over there lol) I think it can be related only to the sim card cause i honestly dont know what else it could be.
