Hi guys
I have a bit of a problem and maybe some of you can figure out whats wrong...
I have a bug on my phone that when is off the power still shows the charging icon (well its more like starts and then ends charging not always the charging icon).
The phone seems to be working well and i can't send it to repare... 1 month of waiting is a bit too much.
Now my real question is that on GB theres no intrusion on this but in the ICS its always showing a error message and i can't do a thing on the phone until i press ok.
Does anyone knows a way (by setings or by any program or even coding something) to remove this irritating notification?
Thanks and hope you guys give me ideas of how to fix this

It's annoying, I agree with you.
I suppose you have already asked people in your Rom thread for help? And no-one was able to provide any?
As a last resort, I'd go all the way back to rooted GB, then flashed LP1 Repack, then reflashed your current ICS Rom. It's a long way, but you're sure to get a clean start with no annoying notifications.
I'm not saying that you have to do it - that's just what I'd do.
Should you decide to follow this advice, this is how you can get back to GB safely:

Thanks for the quick reply but this is not a problem with bad ROM installation... What I wanted was a way to remove this notifications box in ICS, cause this problem I also have it in GB only in GB does not show up this stupid dialog box every 2 seconds...
Easy! Happened to me once!
Reboot in cwm and wipe: cache, dalvik cache, batterystats and reboot! Done!
This can happen when a new rom is installed.. so the batterystats becomes "corrupted" and starts to report wrong voltages and wrong temperatures.
I know the steps that i provided you will solve it!

Hmmmm it also happened to you??? And when the phone was off and unplugged did it also show the charging symbol?
I thought it is hardware related cause it assumes its charging even when its unplugged and also when I reverted back to GB stock Rom and a costum Rom...
I'll go try it now and report if it helped.
Thanks a lot man, hope it will fix it...
If the above advice doesn't correct your problem, try cleaning the USB port and contacts CAREFULLY. You may have some debris shorting out your contacts.
Do a search. People were reporting similar problems several months ago.
Good Luck!

That may be a solution... With what can I clean it? Alcohol it's good for that? I don't think that I have anything this small to fit it the usb port to clean it up... I'll manage something cause the earlier advise didn't seem to.help :S
Alcohol should work. But I would just try air first. That might clear out any "pocket dust" that may be in the port. Be careful...that port might be fragile!

As u sugested i've given a surch over the forum and i found that this is a too much normal issue to be let unknown to the responsables of Samsung not take care of this... I've seen different kind of work arounds since a replacement for the USB port (guess it's not's needed to replace the all mainboard to fix the USB port) to blow dry the phone. I'll try with a blow dryer but most of the users say that it didn't fixed it... Only opening the phone and cleaning it IP inside out. I'm not that at ease to opening my phone without breaking anything lololol so that i won't do, bit if USB ports are not to expensive and easy to install in a last resort i'll buy one and go see if there is a soul that knows how to do it
Thanks a lot for the help
I did replace my N900 micro USB port!
When i got my phone back it got a scratch in the screen! (not made by my friend)
Guess what?
The replacement of the micro usb port was made by a friend and the screen replacement was on Nokia and Nokia didn't saw it was opened by another person, and they said my warranty wasn't voided by anyone! (i didn't told them about the micro usb port of course)
But that's another story!
Hope you get it fixed!

Hi
I was playing an android game, can't remember wich one, when suddenly my HTC HD2 turned unresponsive (bloqued), so I removed the battery and powered it on again. When I did this, the bootloader opened but it seemed bloqued too, no android message, no bootloader opening, anything... And once again, I turned it off and powered on but now without any response, completly dead (Only a small vibration, diferent to the one when it power on. [equal like the one previous to the boot one, I don't know how to explain])... No charge led, no bootloader, no tricolor, but without any flash or something similar (Like most posts I have read)
Anyone knows how to fix it?
My htc is a HTC HD7 T-Mobile with MAGLDR (last version) and android 4.0.4 completly working before this
Thank you!
You mean you have an HD2 with MAGLDR, WP on NAND and ICS on SD, right?
First thing to check is the battery pins, easily bent after a battery pull. Make sure they are straight and make contact with the battery. Second thing, are you sure the battery has enough juice? It could be just an unfortunately-timed run out of juice.
If above is all checked, was the phone running hot (like .. HOT) prior to the freezing?
Thanks

Thanks for your answer!
Not sure of the battery juice, I will try to charge it with a broken USB, directly with the cable or with another battery.
Pins seems to be OK, but I don't know. When the phone turned off I was only playing a 2D game ,for no more than five minutes, so I don't belive that it might be hot.
Some unsuccessful attempts
Okey, i tried to charge the battery with the usb but it does not work, so I tried to boot the phone using directly a 3.5 batery (similar to the 3.7 Output of the battery) and it does not work too... The mobile is completly unresponsive, the same vibration in the begining but nothing later..
Thank you!

Well, this is weird. ................. I recall seeing a similar problem somewhere around here, but I don't know if it was fixed or not. Even if it were, I don't know how we're supposed to look for it.
You can try some basic stuff like :
- Changing the battery *try to use an HD2 one*
- Try removing the battery, sim and sd card. Leave them out for a few units time and put in the battery back and try it again.
You can try your luck and search the hd2 (you can use the link in my sig) fora with potential keywords..
.. I can't think of anything else ... I'm sorry.
More of it sounds like BGA failure. Did your phone got hot while playing games?
Also what settings on CPU were set?(freq and voltage)

I have already asked him about that and he said "When the phone turned off I was only playing a 2D game ,for no more than five minutes, so I don't belive that it might be hot."
One more thing you can try, put the device in a sealed bag and put it in the freezer for about ten minutes. Then try to boot it up into bootloader (boot up while holding volume down). If it boots, then it's 99% the infamous overheating issue.
Report back.

It is widely known that putting an HD2 with a faulty mainboard in a freezer for a few minutes will make it more likely to boot up (before it freezes or restarts again).
I don't know *why* this happens, I just know that it does. If you are not convinced, please do your own research
I do know how does BGA fail, and putting your phone in freezer WON'T do any good. It can only worsen the fate of phone, further damaging board or battery.
With all respect, don't give advice if you don't know what are you doing.
Anyway.
If you got warranty - RMA
If not, get infrared soldering station or look for one. Resoldering BGA(ball grid array-micro soldering points) on motherboard could help - CPU BGA tend to get loose sometimes. It's just the way it was designed.
Otherwise, if failed, replace mainboard.
That's it.

How can you be so sure it is faulty BGA as to start saying use this and use that?
I did not say the freezer will fix the problem, I just said it will help us identify it!
And to reply to the "won't do any good", here are two examples OF MANY:

@op An advice: don't do any of the IR soldering mentioned above or even open the device until you are certain it's the mainboard.

Because that's the symptoms of faulty BGA. System stop. Different vibration pattern and bootloader lockout. If memory failed, it's on motherboard. If CPU failed it's also on motherboard.

How in the world does freezing help identify motherboard fault? It's just nonsense.
Freezer trick can help identify BGA contact issues as the cooler temp contracts the CPU & can temporary cause the the solder points of the ball grid to contact and also keeps it cooler for longer sometimes allowing for longer run time or boot progress.
You are not freezing the device to -20 just simply quickly getting the device cool.
Done it myself to more than one hd2 & is a useful diagnostic prior to buying & swapping a mainboard or getting a current one reworked.
Okey, I tried again and nothing happened. I will call to HTC tomorrow and ask for a diagnostic (And price of repair...). I will coment it here as soon as I'll know something. Thank all of you for the help

HI there,
recently my sound has stopped from my S4,
I get sound on startup on the SAMSUNG screen 8 times out of 10 but nothing else once the phone is booted
no sound from videos or music with or without headphones!
on calls i managed to gain my sound back by unplugging and plugging in the headphones several times but nothing else, my music is now 'incorrect audio file' when infact they are all the same files that previously worked
Any ideas?
Thanks alot guys

I have exactly the same problem since Sunday. I was originally running the Antares One/Alucard CM12 build and the sound stopped. I reflashed it, reflashed the official CM11 and now I reflashed the stock rom, all with factory resets, but nothing.On the stock ROM it is the same thing as you - startup sound 80% of the time but nothing after. The sound worked once for maybe 30 seconds but that's it. Also phone is always rebooting/freezing with system ui stopping. It is really frustrating.
I am using the SGH-I337M (Rogers Canada) Galaxy S4.
Thank you.
Flash those modems that are supposed to solve sound/wifi problems?
I can't seem to find one for my version?

Here you can get the latest modem for your phone. The idea is that it MIGHT fix the sound problem. Many people say it does.
The only other thing I can suggest is that you flash the stock rom again, via Odin.
I did this for my phone and now stuck at the Samsung bootscreen with know waranty void 0x1
I installed a new speaker - still no sound. So except if it comes from the inside connectors, it seems to be a software issue. But I don't understand how it persists after wiping everything and reinstalling any ROM - stock, CM11, CM12....

Yes I tried everything...
So I took the phone apart to verify that everything was well connected on the logic board, everything was ok but i still reconnected everything and nothing. From what I understand the problem is the Audio IC on the logic board [1], that's why I can't play any videos also.
The audio IC needs to be reheated, but I do not have the tools/experience to do it. I looked for logic boards, they were 70$ on iFixit but are now discontinued, and I am not sure if they will be available in the future. On eBay they sell around 200$, and at that price it's not really worth it considering the age of the phone and it also doesn't guarantee its gonna work. I prefer to add more money to buy a One Plus One or Moto X, even if I don't have much money.

Still no sound after various room flashes, I get random restarts and booting with no signal/inoperable screen until the phone restarts again, once in a while I get sound on start up of the Samsung logo.
I've triedwiping cache partition and factory wipe, flashing wifi fix and bootloader
Don't know where to go next!

Looks like the problem is the "Audio IC" Chip, but a really don't know either. I would try heating it like said at the link you sent.
It might sound really nuts, :silly: but....Home made solutions "I Would Consider" doing is heating "re-soldering" the chip: (It depends how desperate you are).
- Try some "small repair shops". They might have some tools for it, and usually are cheaper.
- A Blow-dryer, some can get really hot, depends how long, how close, etc; I would also try covering some other parts;
- The Oven. LOL. Seriously, I did this with a friend. Was a old laptop mother board with problems with the video. (Pretty much soldering problem). We did "baked" it, don't remember how long it took, something between 20 to 40 minutes i guess. We used a tiny piece of a solder wire, we left it in a easy spot to see it, when when it was melted we considered that the rest was also in the same condition. We left it cool down, and...... Voialá, the laptop was back alive. Some months later the problem came back. This process was done arround 4 times before the board died for good.
Search for this "oven" solution.
Good Luck!! :good:

Thank you for your answer.
I tried the blow-dryer, but it didn't work.
So I finally found a friend who had a heater + experience in soldering electronics. We heated the chip carefully, waited for it to cool off and it worked! The sound was back, except the mic didn't work on calls but worked with the voice recorder (but didn't have much gain). It was working until maybe an hour ago - and back to the same problem.
I guess we'll have to reheat it again and apply a bit of pressure on the chip.. it is risky but i don't see other solutions - it really is the problem.
im 99% this is software, there surley wouldnt be any sound on startup if the chip was at fault
and various rom flashes semi cured the problem before crashing again
i dont know if theres a way of completely wiping the phone and reinstalling the firmware rather than flashing?
would re partitioning do anything?
im literally stuck

Did you tried to format/wipe via recovery?
There's a post about getting all the way back to stock, you might try it, since you had semi cured the problem before, even for a while.
Have you tried any "repair shop"? At least to hear what the guy has to say.

i use stock anyway ive tried various stock flashes :/
ive taken it into several and they either have no idea or say its the speaker which i really dont believe!
i gave tried factory reset and wiping the cache
Hi,
I have the same problem i guess, first symptom i had was glitch on the speaker when phone overheat, then days later earpods distrsion sound, then they wont work anymore, the remote button on it too, did some flashes roms and back to stock, now it s random sound on boot logo sometimes, and the sound will work for 30 sec or 1 minute after, then every sound stops
Whats weird is that apps that require sound make the phone lag, it s like they can see there's a sound problem...
Anyone figured out whats the problem would be great. Pleaaase
Did u try repartitioning when flashing via ODIN?
So my phone was acting weird recently, with all sorts of various problems popping out and I simply could not live with it. Before continuing, I would like to say that I hope you guys could help me out here, and thanks a lot in advance. Anyways, I decided that instead of just re-flashing the same ROM on top of the current one on my phone, why not fully erase all the partitions first (big mistake) and fresh install the ROM?
I erased my individual partitions (TWRP - rajlko) with this command, and managed to erase up to 7 partitions.
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1/2/3/4/5/6/7
After formatting ALL the partitions, I immediately rebooted my phone (another huge mistake - the boot.img or whatsoever is probably deleted now) and now, it boots up with a black screen, and that it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in the device manager.
Please do give some insights and suggestions on this matter. I do not have the time to travel to the nearest service center as of now, and that the repair service takes at least 3 weeks. Hopefully there are solutions to this though. From what I know, the partitions (with the names) are there, just that the necessary files required to boot the phone is not there. Is there any way about this? Thank you!
at present we have no solution for this situation.
most important thing is service rom & we do not how to get it.
when I hard bricked my phone, i surrender this to service center & I got my phone back in 5 days.
there are approx 51 mmcblk in ze550kl.
Ouch. Sad news. There is a tool called QFIL from QPST bundle, which can download firmware to device in Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode, but I don't know if we have the images to flash. This is all new, I don't believe anyone has tried to unbrick their laser on xda yet

Rajiko are you able to explain exactly what the service rom does, and why it is needed? Or do you know any useful URL that we can read to learn more? I don't really understand how the service rom fits into the bigger picture and it would be great to understand more - for example, can we use any msm8939 unbrick tools if we have a snapdragon 615 device, or does it need to be from Asus?

service rom is which have all data of partition which if by mistake deleted or currupted ,so we can full restore our mobile rom partition so can we dont have to go to service center and can have much time and have development of roms on way easier

Have you every face a situation where there is no recovery, no fastboot, no system runs, you are unable to see any sign of booting device, no light on your mobile scree.
When you connect your mobile phone to your pc you found yourself in a new situation, your pc displays a popup installing driver for newly found device, when this installation done, you found a new device in your pc's device manager somename .... 9008.
In this situation, we need some tools that may detect our device & here it comes to role of service rom.
our xda forum is good url to read & learn with every situation regarding our mobiles.
every manufacture have different boot partitions & commands, so we need service rom from particular manufacturer for particular device.
Thanks for your help guys! I decided to send it in and it came back within 5 days. The engineers diagnosed the problem as the motherboard being "dead" (stated so on the letter), though I am pretty sure that's not the case, if you know what I mean.
Upon receiving my phone and popping off the back cover, there is actually a "hole" next to the SIM slot 2, which could be easily identified with a yellow taping around it. With the vague image of my previous ZenFone 2 Laser, as well as with the aid of images online, I am sure that this is definitely a new revision for that particulator motherboard, or so to say, a revised version. One thing I noticed is the dramatic improvement in battery life. Using the exact same applications as before, I would only get about 3-4 hours max screen-on-time, whereas with the repaired phone, I could easily get to about 8-11 hours of screen-on-time without limiting any of my application usages.
Another thing that I noticed was that the phone was significantly faster. I have the MSM8916 processor variant, and with the previous phone, it would lag occasionally. Whereas after being repaired, everything was butter smooth. Extremely smooth.
I am not sure if this is really because of the, so to speak, "updated" version of the motherboard, or simply a placebo effect, but hopefully it's not the latter.

That's strange. Could you run AnTuTu/Geekbench/Vellamo benchmarks a few times and post your average scores?
Maybe check your device info using CPU-Z to see if anything's changed?
Can you please post a picture of the back?

I scrolled briefly through your posts and didn't see which model you have 550 or 551?
Also, what was the verdict on the possible new mainboard? What did CPU-Z report?
Please create a new topic, since this is not related to "hard bricked".

I think I was first who hard brick my ze550kl, after doing one week research, I surrender it to my local asus service center.
I got my device repaired in 5 days.
we do not have necessary files of ze550kl.

actually i own ze551ml .. its completely hardbricked.. i went through the entire process of xfstk, isoc usb and other drivers and methods. So in xfstk is succesfully mounted (os + fw ) on the device. post that you get a 4 colored screen and then you boot into bootloader normally. in mine however the phone is stuck at the 4 colored screen forever. i have redone the entire process like 90 times but same , i have eeven tried other solutions but nothing worked. thats why i asked whether the service center guys replace the motherboard or actually unbrick it and how much they charge? thanks for the reply!

Hi, i have a SGH-I337M, with the AOSP 6.0.1 rom with root, since i can remember the phone had been pretty much hot, i didn't care much back then since i use it a lot but recently my phone started to freeze, like the screen freezes and i cant do anything, not even turn it off, so i have to take off the battery let it cool for 20 minutes and start it again, then it works about 10 or 20 minutes and then again it freezes i think it might be related to the heat. Also some few times my screen has turned green and then white and others few times i can see some sort of colored strings.
I'm pretty sure its hardware related but i don't know why it happens and if it can be repaired, do think ill have to change the whole motherboard?
Thanks in advance
Graphics chip may be the problem You shouldn't let your phone overheat like that I think it's the graphics chip (because of the color artifacts) You can try to reinstall ROM (clean installation) and flash another modem&bootloader, or even flash stock ROM. If that doesn't help then your graphics chip is damaged...There is 'repair', by changing motherboard, but it can be very expensive (if you don't find another S4 with broken screen or something else with working motherboard)
I already reinstalled the rom (clean install) and yupp, it doesn't work, the warmest place in my phone is between the sim card and the sd card, so i guess ill have to change my motherboard X_X
Anyway, thank you very much!

Have you actually tried other ROMs, or are you just a negativist?

You should get CPUTemp Xposed module and stop letting your phone get hot! I usually stop screwing around with mine when the temp gets to like 50/60-something Celsius. And like GDReaper said, don't be a Negative Nancy, be a Positive Paulie and play around with other ROMs!!
my original phone screen did things like that after a pretty heavy drop onto a tiled floor. it maybe a good idea to have a technician diagnose your problem before forking out money for parts that might not fix anything.
Thank you all for your answers, i did tried to flash some other roms without success (I still have the same problem) i am afraid to continue playing with roms since my phone sometimes freeze in the middle of the android configurations when i reboot my phone just after the new installation and i don't want it to freeze in the middle of the installation of a rom.
I think ill go to a technician to see what can be done about it, ill keep you informed what was the problem
