Hey
I recently bought a used G900H (seller said the box was only opened and phone not used but doesnt seem right)
So it looks mint, just like a new one would. Is certainly not a fake one too, passes all the tests, works very fluently and scores 42000+ on Antutu. Just flashed lollipop on it and all is nice BUT :
I tried to use s-beam and generally nfc - toggle turns on and phone thinks it works but doesnt, cant transfer anything, nothing happens at all. Same for IR (infrared), app thinks it works but it doesnt and I looked at IR transmitter through a camera and it doesnt light up as it should when being used. Blue led indicator flashed though.
SD card works but a couple of times a day promts that sd card is blank or unsupported, then eventually starts working again. SOmetimes promts it is safe to remove by itself.
Battery cover was 10/10 but just after what was like 5 times I removed and put it back on to interchange sd cards etc, 4 small cracks appeared on it,a piece of it even has fallen out and left a hole near a side.
I was also having battery drains but disabled some google services and battery is fine (by the way I have checked and the battery is genuine one)
What is happening ? I would appreciate any information
try to do factory reset wipe data etc. then download cpuz to be sure that it is real g900h (exynos).
after all if still having issues probably the phone has been damaged from the seller ..
I've had multiple factory resets and tried multiple roms, I am not new to android and this is in fact a genuine exynos model.
Everything points to a fake unit, or at least missing some hw. Did you download antutu yourself or did it came pre-installed on the phone?
I installed antutu myself, did all the checks, phone is 100% genuine and software wise works flawlessly. Also checked with Genuine galaxy app etc - passes just fine. Camera is incredible and speed of the phone as well. Also I have flashed G900H firmwares successfully so I wouldnt have succeeded that on a fake device. So in the case that seller had the phone damaged, what might have been done to it ?
Lollipop is very bad.. It made ud return the phone for repairs as it is so bad.
The nfc is located at a weird point on the back..
Battery drains like an insane... 30 percent pr. Hour here from time to time
I have also had terrible battery drain prior to disabling some services.
Here are some screenshots of what I had, maybe someone knows what might be the cause of this activity ? Battery was draining 100 to 0% in a few hours. I have now disabled these services using Disable Service app and can get through the whole day with heavy use no problem.

Hello, I've been best friends with my Atrix since a little over a year now. We have had many experiences together and our relationship has bloomed a lot with time. I confess I haven't completely looked after my phone, I'm a little clumsy, specially if I don't get to sleep enogh. So almost a month ago, after getting up very early, I was reading a notification when my phone fell. I tried to grab it but I pushed it even more. It went straight to a cornered tile on my bathroom. This was the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And trust me, it's much worst in person than you can see there. Surprisingly enough the touchscreen works just as fine as it always did, even the notification area works fine (the top of the screen has been the more affected area), although I can't use the front camera anymore because there's a big scratch on top of it. Also something happened to the headphone jack because I can't use it anymore. Regardless of all this, the phone itself keeps working like a charm. I have been unemployed for a couple of months now, have a couple of bad debts so I don't have any money to fix it for the time being, so I have no choice but to use it like this.
But I have two weird errors, which has caused me to write this. The first one is related to the proximity sensor. Everytime I answer a call, the screen turns off as it should, but after the call end the screen doesn't come back on and there's no way for me to turn it, so I have to pull the battery and reset it. I tried to mark the option for the screen not to turn off when I pick a call but it keeps doing it regardless, so I suppose what I should do is to try to take the phone apart and see what's happening on the inside.
This pulling of the battery has led me to the discovery of the second error which I think it's the most interesting: 1 out of maybe 20 times that I do that, for whatever reason, a random app gets uninstalled from my phone. The first time it happened I blamed the app (growlr was the first), but then I saw it happened to Twitter, then to Google Plus, then to Script Manager. And it's not like it gets deleted completely, if I go to the app manager I can see it on the list but not with the regular name (ie: com.twitter.whatever instead of just Twitter). I'm using Neutrino but I'm not sure if I could blame the system, I think it's caused from the battery pulling in the same way turning off a computer by force can produce errors on the file system.
So has any of you come across problems like these before? Do you have any suggestions?
Hey!
I had a PiPo M9 (WiFi) now for about 2-3 weeks and everything worked perfectly.
No problems with rooting and installing ROMS ( i fixed that 2-3 days after i bought it)
I was playing some angry birds yesterday, and all of sudden i had VERY low battery, i put it on charge even if i recently took it from it.
Then i noticed that the DC-connection in my tablet is "loose" , i needed to have the cable in a specific position for make it charge.
Battery was fully charged but it said i had about 16 minutes left, and in 1 minute it dropped to 43% and only had 2 minutes of the battery left...
I tried to calibrate the battery after it was fully charged (i let it charge for almost 10 hours) but there was no difference...
Anyways... i played some games later on and forgot about the position of the cable so the tablet died...It had a bootloop about 6 times and i was trying to put the cable correct for make it charge but i failed and the tablet died.
Now it doesnt react at all, and unfortunally i don't know what the EXACTLY position is for the cable so i have been trying around but without success...
When i am connecting the USB to the computer it doens't react either, and i tried to push in RESET while holding the other buttoms as well, without success...
I Don't know what to do , and i don't know what is wrong?
I opened up my tablet carefully to see if i could see the problem but it is hard to do anything without knowledge about it....
I know that it has something to do with the DC-connection but i can also imagine that it has something to do with the batteries..
If i need to change the batteries , what should i buy? And how should i do? I need a guide, walkthrough ,... i have been googling around , also on youtube, without any luck...
Anyone out there who can help me?
I am kinda desperate.. :/
I solded and fixed the DC-contact, it was loose, but there is a component missing and i am unsure what component it is, so i have a picture and hope someone can help me out....
I'm a little unsure of what component that is missing, but it is backside off the mainboard, just below the dc connection.

Send email to support
Sent from my GT-I9082 using xda app-developers app
i did, and they had no idea about the parts so they wanted me to send it to them in China
( i live in Sweden)
but i am going to do that, since i cannot do more and i don't want to see it laying there and get dusty....
Hi guys!
I'm an often reader on the xda, but really never had such a problem to have to make my own thread. But i'm out of my mind what is going on with my Note 3 N9005 with the stock, Samsung android 5.0.
I didn't wanted to change my phone, because i really enjoy it, but i had was in need to make some operations to make it work proper fine. So i bought three things - camera lens, usb charger port and a NEW SUPER COVER s-view cover case
Everything i bought seems to be original, cause it was bought from a friendly gsm service and cost 3 times more than the cheapest ones on internet. And the cover.... that i always wanted at last in a good price - so i bought it right away.
The cover came as the first thing, i have mounted it on a shut down phone, started it up and everything worked fine. And i was enjoying it for almost three days - i could do everything that that a cover can do. Then came the weekend and on the saturday evening i opened up the phone and with a enormous precisson i've had installed the other two parts that i've had bought.
After the operation i of course installed my s view cover and turned on the phone - and it was the time when everything went wrong.
After that i have to tell that my cover doesn't and does work - when i put in on on the shut down phone and start it on the phone thinks that the cover is always closed, i can do every operations, change wallpapers, do photos everything, but i can't go to the other functions that the s-view cover (photos on the end of the post).
BUT when i take off the cover, turn ON the phone it is in the accesories , even when it is not ON the phone, when i put it on the working phone it of course is still in the accesories but the phone does not notice it on and no functions are working ( (photos on the end of the post).
What I did to make it work again:
- re open the phone 3 times to check if everything is in position
- factory reset
- cache reset, dalvik cache reset
- everything that i found on the internet - turning off with and without s view, taking off the battery and etc etc
- checking that every pins are ok lokated and touching what the need to touch
- even replaced the cover to a new one as a warranty in the shop
PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO MORE

Hello everyone!
Well... the story of my Nexus 4:
I have my Nexus since June 23, 2013. In 2016 it started acting up... It randomly shuts down(It will not reboot, only shut down). Power button needs to be pressed hard to power up(to lock-unlock as well)... so I have decided to change the battery. Bought one from a trusted website(they claim is original) for 17,95€. Replaced it. From my tests it was worse than the original. Phone still randomly shuts down , battery % spiking... it would randomly drop 5-10-15% (same for charging). Then I rooted the Nexus and installed a custom rom - Nitrogen-OS-mako-20161230(it will still randomly shut down but not that often). After just 1 month the battery swelled up. Replaced it within the guarantee. Same thing happened after about 3 months to the second battery. I searched on the internet for fixes but no luck... I disassembled the phone again and I installed the original battery that came with the phone and replaced the usb port(maybe this would fix it?)(no it didnt... but it fixed something tho... the power button works smooth again.. dont have to press it hard anymore.. whaaat?), flashed back the original rom 5.1, no root only unlocked bootloader. Still getting random shut downs... at this point I have no more options.
3 days ago I rebooted the Nexus into SAFE MODE. Battery is at 40% after almost 3 days! No random shut downs. WHY?
Can someone explain to me why the Nexus is working like the first day in SAFE MODE?
I have to mention that the Nexus had no apps installed... only the stock ones when it shuts down so... eliminate the possibility of an app causing this.
I dont use it as my main phone but I do have a SIM card in it. I only use an app when I go to the toilet which is Twitch and it works fine in safe mode
So what is safe mode? Why safe mode is so kind to the battery?

Nexus just rebooted by itself into normal mode while it was charging... wtf!!!!!!!
Nexus just rebooted by itself after 43-44 hours (100% battery down to 60% in normal mode).
After just 15-20 min Nexus just shut down by itself doing nothing on it.. just found it like this... what can I say... F... LG and F... this phone... Thread can be closed... If you have the same problem as mine has.. dont bother... F... IT!! Go get a new phone.
I'll advice you to go to your official LG repair store for battery replacement, batteries online are not reliable at all.
Ps: Safe mode in android is just your default apps and settings but no 3rd party apps that you have installed so technically its less resource consuming and hence better battery life.
Hi!
My LG phone is doing weird after i did a factory reset 2 days ago. The battery empty's like a waterfall and the phone is continiuously hot.
I tried to do another factory reset/wipe but i got the same issue again. Even with the battery saver turned on, the phone stays alive for only 3 hours with 12 minutes screen on time.
Screenshot battery usage:

What can i do to fix this?
So i did a reset again, installed all my apps, logged in to them, the only thing that i did not do was place the sim card. And it works perfectly! But the moment i pit the sim in it, the battery drains like crazy again due to 'Android System' using all the resources continiously. What the hell is going on? ??
Did you try to do a factory reset using the power button and the Volume down button. Is it going to make a difference maybe. I usually do a factory reset, once with settings so I can wipe the sd card then I use the power button option, so yes twice. works for me.
Yes that is what i did, after that the issue started. The weird thing is, i used another phone (samsung galaxy s3) and the same thing happened there! I just received a new simcard to see if that was the cause of the problem. I hope this issue is over now, i will message here if it is resolved or not.
Edit: sadly it does not! Android os does still use all of the battery, so the sim swap dis not work. Can this be something related to my google account and the settings that come with it? How can i find out why android os is using so much battery?
Tried another system wipe, checked the APN settings since it only drains while sim is in the phone, but that didnt help either
Are you testing any beta app? Try to exit any beta program and restart your phone... for me works.

No i am not, only using regular apps like whatsapp, facebook and such things. No beta's of any kind. The problem also happened rivht after factory reset. Only placed sim and logged in with my google account and it happened already. If i dont place sim the problem is gone.
I think i found the problem, it seems the LG G6 is not reading the sim correctly sometimes. That would explain the phone eating trough the battery, restarting into safe mode at night, and sometikes giving the error that it cant find all wifi networks due to simcard. I'm afraid its hardware related since a factory reset did nor help.
It could be that your little sim tray holder is deformed, and no longer able to properly align the sim card.
I replaced my sim tray holder after it broke, and things works great. I think they are down to less than $5 on ebay now. I bought two trays just in case the tray breaks again.
