Jasjar - display sometimes mirrored?

Hi!
A few days ago, my Jasjar's display started to become horizontal mirrored after I resume from standby. The screen flickers from normal to mirrored several times per second :-(
I can temporarily fix it by applying some pressure on the display border and doing a few stand-by/resume cycles but after all, that's really annoying. I'm quite sure that there's some kind of cable broke inside my Jasjar but unfortunately, my warranty's gone and I have to repair it by myself.
Has anyone done something similar? Which spare parts might be needed? How much might it cost if I'll send it to an authorized Imate dealer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated ...
Greetings,

Mine did exactly the same thing and was replaced under warranty from t-mobile, my guess was it was dry solder as opposed to a broken cable.
Not much help I know, but you're not alone in having the problem

Oh, if it's a dry solder, I guess I'm out of luck and the mainboard needs to be replaced :-(
So I'm going to find some very small screwdrivers and take a look inside.

this was a failure that was common on early pocketpc. i guess somethings never change

sorry to ask but how come you're already out of warranty? your device can't be 1 year old yet. :shock:

My Jasjar did the exact same thing. Unfortunately, I bought it from a betch on eBay who did not tell me they were having problems with the unit. The device did the flickering for about a week as I was trying to get in touch with iMate and the seller (which I was unsuccessful with both), and then quit flickering. Unfortunately, the device has other problems now, as the screen is unresponsive for the first few seconds after startup.

isn't the IMEI enough for the warranty?

it definitely *should* be enough but I've found no i-Mate service point here in Germany willing to do it for free
But now I've found a company which told me to repair my jasjar for about 30 EUR plus spare parts (which, I hope, doesn't involve a new display for about 200 EUR )

OK thanks for the details in advance.

The mirror fault is due to over driving the display unit more than 180 degrees. Flex cable is damaged.
As such I understand they wont cover this in warranty since this is caused by the user twisting the display 380 degrees or even more.
Seen one particular unit which had one (1) cable left out of the whole bundle this flex consist of!

Okay, now I've got my Jasjar back (about 6 days after I've send it) and it's working great 8)
They've charged me 39 EUR (and 6 EUR for shipping and handling) which sounds really fair to me. Their address is http://www.handy21.de but unfortunately, the site is only german.

[Q] Device (hard) bricked?

I wanted to flash another rom version on my LG Optimus 7 with an official rom that was posted in the LG topic. During the process (before the actual flashing I think) I got an error. My device was still turned on at that moment and in Emergency Download mode. I thought that since the flashing didn't really start I could reboot my device and try it another time cause it was late but my phone wont turn on no matter what I do. I cant enter emergency download mode, nothing.
So is it possible that my device is now completely dead? It seems so hard to believe.

How low was your battery?

Take out your battery. Leave it out for a minute and then put it back in. Connect your phone to the power-adapter and let it charge for at least 5 minutes. Then try to switch on your phone.

Battery wasnt really low, the phone was still on when I got the error. Can't say exactly how full it was cause it was in emergency mode for a while but it never turned off.

Hmm. That doesn't look good. Did you try key-combo's again after you took out the battery? You might get it into downloadmode now.
I made a jig for my Samsung. With the jig I can get a phone into downloadmode even when it is bricked. Maybe there's something like that for LG's.
Good luck!

It's one that works on the Galaxy S devices and Omnia 7 so I'm not sure it will work on my device but it doesnt cost a fortune so I might as well try.

Hello,
i´m new here and i know that i dig a old post out of the grave, but before christmas my boss get 3 LG E900´s for his kid´s and 2 of them where selled in demo modes.
Not official, but because it was early too christmas he ask if i have an idea.
So i read many hours in much forums (even here) how to flash.
The first one was not a big problem at my home pc(took a lil time if it´s start in emerg.-mode, but now it works perfect)
So i tried the same with the second one at my office pc, because this one arrives us at 23. dec. and i do the same steps as i do at home.
But while flashing i got a massage from the LGDP2_V36_UMTS prog. that there was an abort.
EM still worked, so i tried again (4 times) with an other abort (RAM error)
After the 5. try with this error i do same as before and shut it off.
I wanted to try it at home again, but since this i couldn´t it on.
Everthing i tried doesn´t work. Screen keeps black.
Anyone an idea?
PS: sorry if my english is bad, i´m german.

Hello everyone I own a Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 I am running the stock ROM and its never been rooted.

Hi,
If the phone is still "Official", then , you need to take it back, because that is not normal.

Thank you very much

If you can get a receipt from the person you bought from you could take back to the shop they bought from.
If they bought from an overseas supplier on the net you will find Samsung won't honor any warranty as it isn't from your country.
Bummer I know, but that seems to be the way of the world. Would make life really easy if there was an international unrestricted warranty.

my galaxy s4 i9505G turnning off trandomly !

Just suddenly happened, i got this mobile 4 months ago.
I have tried to reset factory setting but it dose not solve the issues.
Even thought it turning off when i first time log it into the WiFi connection to my home.
I'm really frustrating as well the Samsung customer services is not helping well through their online.

As you you already done factory reset it could be the battery has had it

Looking at the battery graph, it looks like this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409274

[Q] Sudden Death - please help! How to fix?

Hi,
My SM-N90005, was rooted on 4.3.3 (polish fw) from day 1 and worked perfectly. No glitches, no problems (except an externalSD memory write problem).
This night it died while under charge, for no reason. On forums I read it's called Sudden Death Syndrome and it's quite common to Note 3 but I could not find a fix exceppt to ship it back to Samsung for a replacement. I read of fixes for Note 2 and S3 etc but not for my model.
Has anyone found a fix for the Note 3 SM-n9005 SDS?
Thanks in advance for any help.

This doesn't match. Android 4.3 never had any limitations regarding writing to external SD card.
Are you sure, that you have the SDS? From what I have heard/seen, this was fixed on Note 2 by software updates and hasn't occurred on Note 3.

First of all thanks for helping.
It is an official polish 4.4.3 downlaoded from Samobile and flashed using Odin
I cannot boot the phone.
It is completely dead.
No download mode. No charging light. Nothing at all. completely dead.

I can't find such firmware, nor have I seen any 4.4.3 being released to any Samsung phone at all (4.4.3 was released only short time ago, unrealistlic that Samsung phones would have update so quickly).

Sorry. I was right first time. It have official 4.3.3 (not 4.4.3)
I had ExtSD card memory problems you can find my posts everywhere (username: ascanio1)
Anyway, my problem has nothing to do with ExtSD card memory problems as those were long fixed (in Fenruary) and everything worked perfectly since.

When did the Note 3 ever get SDS? I heard they were fixed on Note 2's 4.2.2 firmware. (My phone never had SDS
BUT if what u say is true and your phone has SDS (which is unlikely), your only hope is Samsung service centre (if u still have warranty, that it) or JTAG (I think it works)

I thught that it was the SDS but I then realized that it might be the battery and so I just bought a new one. To my great surprise, the phone does not charge the battery. When I bought the battery it was at 46% charge and after 8 hours of charging the new battery was down to 41% charge!!!
If I try to charge the batttery when the phone is switched off, no red light appears but the phone vibrates intermittently (every 5 seconds) and keeps doing this until I disconnect the charger.
If I try to charge the phone when it is switched on, the charging Symbol inside the battery icon appears and also the red light is on...
But in both cases the battery does not get charged! I tried 3 different battery chargers (original Samsung) and 3 different cables.
I heard somewhere that there can be some software malfunction that causes this but I can't remember or find the right post...

Weird... If it's a software malfunction you'll have no chance of saving it since you can't get anything to start.

P.S. Try these steps to get into download mode.
No download mode?
If your phone won’t enter download mode, you can try three things:
A USB jig. Don’t pin your hopes on this, they rarely succeed in this scenario.
‘Jump starting’ – You might need someone else to give you a hand for this. Take the battery out of your phone and wait 30 seconds. Now, press the button combination to enter download mode, and with this combination still depressed, get someone to put the battery back in. Hopefully this will jolt your phone into download mode.
Take out the phone battery, and re-insert it, but don’t turn the phone on. Now, plug in the charger while holding the volume down button. Keep holding volume down till you enter download mode.
If your phone won’t enter download mode, and will do nothing but get hot when you attempt to do anything to it (charge it, turn it on), then your motherboard is in need of replacement.
Your options
I’ve seen a lot of people, when their Odin flash fails, either:
Give up. Not a good option.
Flash a .pit file. That should be used as an absolute last resort. There’s a lot to try before getting to that stage! If a flash of a .pit file fails in Odin, your phone is well and truly unrecoverable, and you will need a motherboard (MB) replacement.
Send their phone to a service centre. That costs money (& you’re without a phone for a week or so).

Did you try different sockets or chargers (not the cable)?

Yes. Besides I blind tested all 3 chargers, cables and wall sockets. They work with other electrical devices.

With the new battery I can start the phone and it works perfectly normally. The only malfunction is that it won't charge the battery from wall charger so I have to use laptop.

It goes into download mode, normally. With a charged battery.

Flash a new ROM? If it's a software malfunction only a new ROM can solve your issue. And a .pit file would be useless here.
