Hi guys,
I'm pretty stressed out because I just fixed my gf's nexus 4 that had a broken digitalizer (bought the complete frame and just exchanged it). Worked like a charm, everything was running smoothly... I got system notification that there was an available update I think it was 5.1.1, but since it was Lollipop I said wow cool. Started the download and prompted me to restart the device. It turned off and started installing... Everything was going great, the progress bar finished and then the phone just turned off. Nothing happened for 10 minutes so I started to worry, another 5 minutes passed by and tried to turn it back on, but for my bad luck nothing happened... Tried doing a soft reset (volume down + power for 10 secs) and the google logo appears for like 4 seconds and then disappears. Tried going into recovery mode (long press down volume + power) and it pops up for like 2 secs and then disappears and the google logo appears again and disappears. Tried long pressing the on button for 10 secs and only the Google logo pops up doing the same thing as all the other methods. In one of the many long presses I made it took me to the progress bar I had when lollipop was being installed but just rebooted at around 10% (I'm guessing) and happened like 3 more times and then the Google logo situation happened again and I cannot seem to find anything that can help. I tried installing the adb and fastboot to try and link them but my PC wont even recognize the phone as it barely turns on.
Any solutions you guys can come up with?
Thanks to everyone and sorry for the long post I guess

Help me please.
Until today everything was fine, than, I can't put the phone to sleep.
When I press the end key it comes black and after 1 second turns on again at the lockscreen. I can't put it into sleep mode with the screen off.
Neither in battery or plugged in charger.
I dis a hard reset, installed new ROM (Artemis) and new radio but nothing can solve the problem.
Do someone know what's happening ?
Sorry about my english.
Thank you all.
Additional information
When i conect and disconect the power cable it returns to normal, everything ok until next boot. If i reboot, the problems begins again.
Probably the last option but a hard reset will likely cure it.

No, after the hard reset nothing was installed.
The problem still exists even when I remove the sim and the SD.
But when I conect the power cabe (for a second) evererything is back to normal.
sounds like a hardware problem then.

hi i had the same what i did i just change the song and come back as it was...
what do you mean by changed the song?
I have the chance to compare my 10.1v with an Ipad 1 so here is the first picture (both devices with medium brightness).
It'll be a work in progress. Tomorrow I'll have more time and I'll post a full review, with images and videos.
I'll post videos here.
Looking forward to seeing the review. I'm more interested in the 10.1 but the screen quality definitely interests me here.
i guess samsung tab should vs ipad 2
I don't have an Ipad 2, just the first one.
I returned my 10.1v, it became a brick.

What happened ?
As a stated on another thread, I played around for half an hour. Due to a lot of forced closes on browser, decided to turn off the device. It froze on "Do you want to shut down?".
Pressed a couple of times the power button and the first screen "Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1v" appeared, but it never passed from there.
Tryed power + vol down and entered unlock mode with no problems. Pressed the power button to get out and restart, but same issue ocurred. The only way to turn it off is power + volume up and down for 10 secs.
I think even charging was affected, because when I plugged it, the symbol of a battery appeared, but nothing happened afterward.

early adopters penalty!
Are you getting it replaced? I'm sure it was just a dodgy unit. I've not heard of anyone else with that issue - the only issue that I know of is the light-bleed issue for which Vodafone AU have been replacing them.
I know of 2 Tabs here in Portugal whose screen, after 4 days of normal use, started malfunctioning. An error like mine, I never heard of it, not even in another tabs' fora.
I got a refund. Imagine if it happened again... The store might say I've been messing with something or trying to install custom Rom (there isn't any, I know eheh). My unit had bleeding too, I think they all have.

I had my rooted Nook Simple Touch froze on me.
Series of events:
1) I thought it needed to be charged
-So I charged it
-Still Frozen but would restart when I plugged it back in
2) I thought the root had cause something so I reformatted it using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289233
-Still Frozen when unplugged and restart on being replugged in
3) Reformatted again for good measure then rooted using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343143
-Still frozen
4) Called B&N tech Support: No help, cycle nook, turn off, cycle nook, turn off, no change, said to let it power down to 20% and that you should only charge for 3-4 hours and that you can over charge the unit??????, thanks anyways.
5) Used Ifixit.com teardown to see if there was something going on inside: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nook+Simple+Touch+with+GlowLight+Teardown/9301/1
-Took off back, upplugged battery
-Found nothing loose or broken inside
-Found a port for a cell antenna, interesting
-Unplugged the screen from the motherboard
-Put it back together
-TADA!! it works again. I think that hard resetting the battery did the trick but also voided any warranty I had. (which was none since it is over 1 year old.
I searched for a resolution to this problem everywhere and could not find one so I am putting one here. Thank you for your time.
Sorry you didn't see this, and I'm glad to see the fix being bumped - this was the thread with the fix before you needed to do the work -- but congrats on a successful self-repair and clear documentation.

Damn, I never thought to search dead. Thanks, now I know it is not just me.
Voiding Warranties since 1981
Took delivery of my S4 I9505 in May very happy no issues & had not yet decided whether to root or not .......... I was prompted for an Android update approx 2 weeks ago which i completed with no issues then Yesterday My wifi nor my bluetoooth will activate ...... on the pull down the icons go green but appear 'greyed out' & starting from the settings connection menu has no effect either
After telephoning EE UK tech support was advised remove battery then restart .... no change ....... factory reset ..... no change take too nearest shop for a 2/3 week repair service with a dalek for a lend phone .....
Since then I have tried a hard reset several times ,,,,, I have also flashed the 2 stock roms available through here via Odin with still no change ..... I do not wish to try any rooted roms (I got done with a£120 bill for my s2 from samsung last year ) any other suggestions before I have to succumb to EEs yet to be proven repair service ........
I've got the exact same issue. I've had mine since launch day and no problems at all until two days ago this randomly started happening...

Notice how the buttons are dark green rather than bright green to indicate "on" or grey to indicate "off".
When you go into Wi-Fi settings this is all you ever see...
I read somewhere that this is due to early models having an issue with the wifi/bluetooth chip or the board itself. Unless someone has an idea what is really causing this, I'm going to have to send this back tomorrow which will be a pain in the backside.
Thanks in advance
[UPDATE] Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth appear to have come back on after ten minutes of constant restarting of the handset. Left the handset on for at least 6 hours, restarted again and then I was back to square one again as they were struggling to switch on. Got it up and running again for the time being though.

Unfortunately the White Screen problem was happening to my Galaxy Y Intentional Version and I tried resetting and flashing the original rom again and nothing brought me the normal display back. Even not the Samsung Logo not showed up!
Everything worked fine since I could here sounds when booting up! So the Odin method worked in software side as per my knowledge.
Now, today I replace it with a new LCD. Thankfully it shows the recovery menu, download mode and Samsung logo but after booting up, alas! the colors are inverted and distorted!
I flashed again for original rom using Odin and it was successful. Make sounds usually and boots and responds to the keys except touch screen. (Middle key, Vol keys and Power key)
My doubt is, if there's any other hardware problem still there, how is it possible to display all the Logo, Download and Recovery Menu, Charging Icon crystal clear and not the Android home?
Here are some photos of the device.
Charging Works Fine

Samsung Logo also fine and clear!
Alas! What is this? This is what happens after all!
Inverted colors and Distorted image!
I need some expert advises! I possibly assume that this is a software glitch or something related. Correct me if I am wrong.
I don't want to go to a shop. I am in Sri Lanka and it will take forever and will not actually repair. I got once and they just replaced my SD card and LCD to a cheap and second-hand ones and now it is okay to try it myself at any cost! :crying:
I have moderate knowledge about Android and Electronics. Please guide me through and anyone who is having the same issue, support me. :highfive:
Thank you! :victory:
I have almost same problem, it is PCB issue, as I check with another LCD and it persists. Also software flash did not recover it.
Yes. I also replaced the LCD twice. It presists the same error. Now it's white screen of death. Trying to replace the display socket with my own tools.
