Beam Greyed Out, Won't Work (NFC,S-Beam) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA. I have problem with my International LG G2 (D802) with my NFC. I go to settings and turn on NFC and after a 15 seconds turning on the nfc greyed out again. Like self turn off. I don't get it. when i restore to stock firmware the same problem.
Any solution for that?
I am using CloudyG3 1.3 ROM
Thanks!

Could it be a problem with the kernel? If not you may have a botched device.

How can i know about the kernel and how to change it or something to see if it works becouse of that? Thanks

You can check your kernel through ADB. This is the input you put, without quotes.
"adb shell cat /proc/version"
And to change kernel, you simply do what you do when flashing a rom and flash the new kernel.

Always make a nandroid backup through recovery.
I would suggest you use either Dorimanx (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725023) or RenderKernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/kernel-render-kernel-aosp-lg-roms-t2803929).
Dorimanx is for Stock Rom while use RenderKernel if you want to go to AOSP based roms.

Then I'm guessing the problem is a hardware one. Have you ever dropped or bumped your phone? Even if you haven't have how long has this problem been occurring? Ever since you bought the phone or recently. This is because even though it could be a software problem, if you flashed the roms and kernels correctly, there shouldn't be any nfc issues in all of them. So in any case, I suggest you try to get the phone replaced or fixed.

CM 6.1.3 Update V06 Help please

Hello.
I installed this rom on my Rogers(Canada) X10. Everything went fine. But I have no wireless at all now and it says baseband unknown. I tried looking for APN settings but there's nothing there under mobile networks. This is my first time installing custom firmware and I'm rather lost. Can anybody help me please?
Hi
Did you make sure your on the correct baseband?
Did you flash a custom kernel?
Hi, I had same issue. What worked for me was using the Dev tools app and selecting bad behaviour then crash the system server. Phone rebooted and has been working fine since. Might be worth a try?

I read the Q&A but it seems that in order to select a baseband, I need to know what is is? But I can't because the system doesn't tell me. As for kernels and such, I'm at a complete loss lol. I just followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945264 for installing the firmware.

[Q] Should I change to a custom ROM?

Hi guys
I just have a little question regarding my nexus 4. I seem to be having the battery drain issue. It seems to drain the battery when I use any app or the browser through 3G (Wifi it doesnt drain so bad) also when using 3G i get a warm phone at the back. The heat thing doesnt bother me yet as I live in a very cold country.
I am not in a position to RMA or return the device to the shop as I bought the device in the UK and then returned to Russia.
I read on a previous post that google may update the phones to stop this battery drain issue should I wait for this update or should I try a custom ROM to solve the problem. If a ROM would work can any person give me a hint to which is good one to try first I have a nexus 7 and sometimes I use Paranoid Android. I have been reading the thread in the DEV section about that ROM but I cant seem to find a list of whats working or not.
As for the phone I have no other trouble with it it works great even outside when its -42.
its not the ROM, its the kernel that has a battery drain, more particularly towards on how it works. i wont get too complicated because i dont want to write two paragraphs on why its the stock kernel. basically, all you need to know is that the phone ramps up to 1028 frequency when you touch the screen, so there is a possibility of the phone running at 1028 as the minimum freq. etc etc etc etc (like i said, theres a lot of reasons why)
flash a custom rom of your choice + kernel. i recommend franco for kernel.
and you're right for RMA. RMA is for hardware defects etc, RMAing wont get anyone a better battery. so even if you could RMA, i wouldn't. its fixed by software.
Thanks for that i will give it a try
I hit the thanks button

when its this cold if you drink beer you get a sore throat and lose your voice, also vodka does work but it actually cools your body down at the same time as giving you a false feeling of warmth which is dangerous.
the irony is they sell ice cream on the street and you eat it and its warm crazy but nice in a strange way.
I'm running rooted stock with Franco Kernel
I recommend the franco Kernel, and modding to CyanogenMod. I have been running these and am loving the performance much better now. I also changed my cpu settings (via setCPU) to lower my CPU frequency to 384-1242. The lower frequency helps save some battery life.
Can somebody confirm that the battery drain issue is due to improper cpu scaling?
Thanks.

There are so many things that can cause battery drain issue... Improper CPU scaling, maybe... one can have battery drain issue by simply not having good signal and your phone constantly searching for better signal and this can happen on stock everything.. This is one example of battery drain issue.. So to pin it to CPU scaling would not be accurate

If you never flashed a custom rom then you're stock son being rooted means simply that, you're rooted.. Stock rooted

how is stock rom with franco kernel running? im all stock + root but might flash a kernel if its worth it
If you're going to flash a kernel but still use stock Rom. There is absolutely no reason to do this because when a new ota comes out and you accept the ota. It will not apply because you are using a custom kernel any system tweaks done as well will affect it.
So just flash a custom Rom and do yourself a favor. If you're going to flash, don't halfa** it, go the full way there are roms out there that are very stockish such as rascarlo and modaco but for me I prefer a more feature rich rom. Same speed if not faster, no reason to not have them IMO

Not True.. The reason for failure of an OTA it's not having "stock" recovery.. Custom kernels have nothing to do with it, although you need a custom recovery to flash kernels/Roms... One could be stock rooted w/stock kernel and have custom recovery and the OTA will fail because recovery is not stock

True. But as most people in this thread are new, they wouldn't know this and most likely their ota will fail. Worst case scenario they'll be in a non boot able state and would need to fast boot stock or do a recovery maneuver to fix it. Chances of someone with a modified recovery with both stock as an combination are pretty slim, realistically speaking. On a better note, they can wait for the OTA URL link and manually flash the zip by Google which needs a custom recovery

Non able boot state?? For trying to flash OTA with custom recovery?? I doubt it... It will fail because recovery is not stock.. Then you would just reboot system after the fail and continue with business as usual... In most cases the result is that and you wont get the OTA prompt update anymore after the fail

For whatever reason, I was able to receive and install the last OTA from Google while rooted and on CWR. Not sure how or why it worked, but it did. I believe several others were able to as well.

Status bar disappeared and I get a message saying android UI has stopped working. I did a factory restart but still no difference.

lol, yeah I suppose it did.
I think I inferred that this was at the inception of the flash, and not something that just started happening.
He did factory reset and it is still doing it, which tells me it must just be the ROM.

Didn't do anything. I think i just tried to open an app and it suddenly closed and I got this error message, then status bar went.

Flash the same rom again from recovery without wiping anything.
Edit: I was too late.
I wouldn't want to flash a rom because in the past I nearly ended up bricking my phone. I got Android on this phone through someone else. Isn't there another way around this, something more simple

Nope.
Since the problem originated without apparent reason, we don't know what caused it; we can't really tell you how to fix it without a re-flash.
And by the way, you can never brick your phone through CWM. So just re-flash the ROM. Besides, that "someone" had already done the hard part. He installed everything for you, now you just need to put the zip on your sdcard, boot into recovery and "install zip from sdcard".
So can i install any rom or just the same one and is there any thread on this.

You can flash any ROM and you will not brick your phone. You literally cannot brick an HD2 with anything android related, ONLY with radio stuff and WM6.5, so just read up on how to flash one and flash another ROM.

if something has been installed into the system partition, then it will still be there after a hard reset. Example, if you install a data2ext script, then do a hard reset, it will still be there when the phone restarts.

Yeah, that's why I told him to dirty flash the same ROM, but he has no clue which ROM he flashed, so at this point I think he should just find a ROM he thinks he'll like and clean flash it.
As long as he's messing with Android he can't do any actual harm.

What I meant is, you can install your previous ROM without having to do anything to your device aside of putting the previous ROM on the sd and flashing.
However, that DOES NOT mean you can install any other ROM without modifying the partitions.
And yes, there's a thread for this, it's called search.
P.S: Pay attention to the italicized keywords.
Do this as the easiest thing,
go to settings > about phone, and scroll all the way till you see the kernel version and build version.
Take a screenshot of that and upload it if you can.
This will tell us what ROM you have and you can dirty flash it.

This normally happens when installing custom ROMs. The WiFi doesn't connect. Don't worry there are many ways to fix this. One way being to flash a WiFi driver. One that is compatible with your kernel.

[Q] How come my phone crashes on AOKP?

I've been using ROM's for 2 months or so. Ive unrooted/re-rooted my phone twice because of recovery being extremely slow. I've started using the KitKat AOKP rom and thats the only rom that seems to crash my phone. Ill be using my phone when *poof*, it crashes my phone. This will happen every 15min when im using my phone. I was told it might me my recovery, but the only way i can root is through Odin or the goo.im app. I cant flash my recovery using commands because my PC just wont do it, it can recognize fastboot commands but it wont do nothing. I really love AOKP roms. Help please! :fingers-crossed:

What exactly do you mean crash? Does it reboot? Freeze and require a battery pull? etc...

The recoveries response is pretty fast now thanks to Philz Touch (thanks btw), i mean ill just be scrolling through my phone, doing anything
practical and it will just freeze and reboot. Ive frozen looking through setting, looking at music, and just going on snapchat, its frozen on the lockscreen as well.

Sounds like a kernel or OC/UV issue. Try playing around with different ones and see what happens.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I was having the same problem on AOKP. I even flashed the 4.3 ROM thinking I would correct the problem there and then move up to 4.4. No luck. I can't remember if I was using Philz at the time though. The main reason for this post is that when I would have the random reboot, the screen would kind of start dimming out. I could see three bars of graphics that would blink out and then the phone would reboot. Sorry for the poor description but wanted to add it in case it meant something beneficial to someone else.
