Exposure to mobile phone tea. I open from the start, the battery has been separated from the cleaning of the tea and returned to work normally, but today I am surprised that the void
The problem is that the system works, but the screen was not working and the buttons are not working, but the bell works Contact means tested by the latest mobile working, but I remember the screen lip twice a properly functioning
There is no guarantee that the system in the event of a liquid
Experimented with bringing the mobile phone program Mae, which reviewed the computer system already employed and there is normally no problem, but the problem of the buttons and the screen is still black
What is your solution. I am sorry because I do not speak English well
I'd love to help you but i really not sure what you are saying - if the screen is not working sometimes you have to take the x1 apart and make sure the screen connector is in place - if you dropped it in water i dont think the warrenty covers that but insurance will - i would ring and claim on your insurance and if you have no insuranse then just dry it some more and prey

i think it's better if you'll just send ur phone to service...they'll know what to do.
lets just hope that you wont need to replace some internal parts.
Hey everyone,
I got my Galaxy S4 (i337m) about a month ago, and loved it from the get go. Long story short, I recently dropped my Galaxy S4 on the floor, from desk high. (I know, it's my own damn fault) It was in a small protective case (cheap case from rocketfish) that only covered the back and a bit of the front). The case took most of the shock, almost shattering (my fault for buying cheap cases) and I made sure right away if everything was ok with my Galaxy S4. No scratches, screen is great, and a few calls and text messages confirmed that everything seemed fine.. except for one thing, the air gestures are not working anymore.
I tried everything, from a hard reset to disabling/enabling the options in the air gesture menu. When I test out the quick glance in the demo menu, it just automatically turns on without me waving my hand; while the other air gestures, nothing happens. I would think there would also be a problem with the proximity sensor because now my phone just goes black right after I call someone and stays black when I move away from it. Direct call from a contact page is also not working. The light sensor is still working however, because depending on the lighting my screen changes automatically.
I would like to add that I am out of my return period. I would like to add that this is a minor problem... I barely use the air gesture function and the proximity sensor during calls is not that much of an annoyance. But, being the techno geek that I am, it would be nice to figure out how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!
If anyone can help, I will be much obliged. If not, I'll just go on the same way I've been going
Although I would never advocate it myself as long as there is no physical damage to the phone that could not be attributed to normal use (this means that nothing on the outside of the phone can be cracked or even seriously scratched and both LDI's on the battery and phone must be white) you may be able to simply call warranty and have it replaced with a 'refurbished' device (i337).
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I don't even think warranty departments have even had enough time to refurbish returns or defective devices to Samsung standards.
You should get a brand spanken new GS4 from them.
try that
menu-system setting-my device -accessibility- and put magification gesture off
Hope that help
Hello peeps,
I had just recently got this phone, its been 2 months exact and yesterday this happened. It was upside down when it rolled over it (was on the road), I was surprised to know that its back merely seems damaged (see pictures to have better idea).
- Speaker seems to be working fine. (SIM working in it!)
- LED indicator is blinking too and working as it should.
- It turns on/off without any problem.
- The power and volume buttons are also working fine.
I had lock screen passcode on so can't access the data, but it connects to computer fine. I wonder if replacing the display and screen digitizer will be the only things I need to make it work.
PS : I had no screen protector/back case or anything on it.
EDIT 1 : Touch is still working. I just somehow like entered the emergency mode and I can hear the dial pad tones.
EDIT 2: Data accessed!!

I just disassembled it, apart from one thing everything in there seems intact, it may require soldering.

Don't think a tempered glass would've saved his phone from a truck lol. I'm impressed by how little damage it took actually
Please keep us informed if you find any damage other than the screen and back.
Wow sorry about that but also glad to see how it was able to withstand a beating like that :banghead:
Make a youtube video. It might go viral if you can show it still works ie: sound phone call. You might make enough money to buy a new phone.

If you had usb debugging enabled, you can completely remove the lockscreen and access your data. There is a reddit post detailing how to do it step by step. Please Google because I don't have a bookmark. I did this to my Z3 when i got damaged. If you didn't have USB debugging enabled, you'll have to find some hack to do that before attempting.
Also replacing the screen and maybe the digitizer (if damaged) should get your phone back up and running.

Can you please help me find the exact tutorial? USB debugging wasn't enabled.

Hey if USB debugging was not enabled, you might have to find a way to do it. And I did try doing some Google search but couldn't come across anything! Really sorry but the thread was on Reddit and you should probably search for it there. I'm not sure of the exact keywords I used!
Touch is still working. I just somehow like entered the emergency mode and I can hear the dial pad tones. I can try entering the pattern now, but I don't remember if I had to like swipe after pressing the power button or double tapping the screen or it was just the code straight away after pressing the power button or tapping the screen, could someone please help me with the two options as how they work and also just send screenshot of the lock screen with pass code on so I have the idea about it and all?
EDIT : @thedisturbedone : I managed to pull the lock away as touch screen is working haha!
Is there anyway possible that I can use it via PC? Asus PC link requires the app running in background. Also anyway possible to backup the contacts now?
@ASUS_Khang : Have a look here.

Hey there, thanks for sharing...been away on Thanksgiving. You want to save your data? Hmm...good question. Here's what I would try to do:
- Contacts should be backed up in Google - so no worries there...you can access via. http://contacts.google.com I think
- Connect the phone to PC, Install ASUS PC Link. You should have the app running on the phone.
- I would then try to drag all the files you need to your computer,
- Or the other thing you can do is if the information is crucial....And I don't promote doing this, and this is not an official ASUS fix...because you will void your warranty..sooo anything issue that happens is on you and ASUS will not help you if something goes wrong...is to root your device, install Titanium Backup, and use that to save all your data (apps and everything) into Google Drive, or Dropbox. Then, you can restore that data back to your phone when it's fixed.
What about micro USB to HDMI and then follow on the big screen what you're doing?
@ASUS_Khang : I wanted to have your attention for the giveaway thing as my story is all posted here. Thanks for the input anyway.

I have recovered the data from the phone itself, the remaining things are notes/contacts which I can't do via connecting the phone to PC now and I had backed up contacts already so no worries.
Haven't read the whole thread, not sure what your plans are, but thought I'd share a recent experience.
My wife knocked her phone off a table at a restaurant a few weeks ago. Landed on the corner when it hit the tile floor. Screen shattered. Was still usable, but bits of glass were flaking off.
I ordered her a new screen & digitizer from amazon. Took about 3 weeks to show up. I replaced it using a plastic spudger tool I had from an old iPhone screen replacement kit, and some patience. The screen replacement kit I ordered came with some double sided tape to reseal everything. Took about 90 minutes to complete as I was taking my time. The replacement went flawlessly and you can't even tell her screen has been replaced. I'd recommend trying that before replacing the phone, unless you want to.

Hello. I want to start off and say that even tho i used a lot of phones Samsung fits me bets. With that in mind i want to tell the story of my broken s4 i9505. I bought it new and used it about 2 years until i got and iphone 5s. The phone remaind in a drawer with the intention of selling some time but forgot about it, then i used the phone once a week or so paired with moto 360 because iphone could not connect and used the watch only for time .(bluetooth worked fine remember this). Anyway i decided to sell it and i had all my apps and accounts in there so i thought the fastest way was to factory reset it and make it fresh so i can sell it (rom was not stock at the moment, i have no ideea what rom it was). I sold it to a friend that told me he wanted to pair something with it thru bluetooth and bluetooth didnt work...i sayd that it wasnt possible because all i did was a factory reset and that couldn't damage anything. Things got worse as the phone was charging very very slow and if it got over 90% baterry would not respond to anything (red led at 90% and got to green when full but still no response from phone) and the only thing to do is to remove battery. Then i took the phone back, got it a new battery but that didn't changed anything, took it to some repairs shops that didn't ever hear about this problem, i had it chance the software but that didn't do anything. The problem i suspect it is and i saw a few other posts online was the bluetooth module would stop working for some reason and do this to the phone. Currently i don't know what to do with it and i don't want to sell it just for part for 50 euros or so. Also i read that the bluetooth module can't really be changed as a spare part because it's part of the motherboard and that means almost all the phone. Phone is in mint condition, i didn't damage it before the sell , the buyer didn't damage it or messed with the rom...Another thing i noticed is that in settings under bluetooth address says unavailable. Can someone please help me ? I can provide more information about serials and stuff if needed. Also wi-fi doesn't work now.
Mine also show unavailable under Bluetooth address, but it works.
Are you currently on the stock rom?
Yes is stock. Android version 5.0.1 I9505XXUHOJ2. If i toggle bluetooth on says starting bluetooth then after 5 seconds it disables. I guess the problem is from hardware not software. So fast battery drain is not normal something is using a lot of energy.
As far as I know, the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules are in the same physical chip, therefore something might be physically broken. Here's a clip I came across while trying to fix my phone's Wi-Fi and I think it's exactly what might fix yours. (Should be very cheap to do too.) I think basically what he's doing is putting some flux on the board then reflowing it with the hot air gun.
Before taking that step, be sure to exhaust the possible software fixes. I'm not sure, but updating the bootloader and modem MIGHT fix it.
My wi-fi started working again it just took a while but the bluetooth does exactly the same as in the clip so maybe that's the problem. I don't understand why does so glue over it make it work...also for me it's hard to turn the phone off because the screen goes black but the blue led still stays on and the only way to turn it off completly is to take out battery. Maybe this will solve the battery problem aswell ?
Hey guys I'm new here. A few weeks ago i happened to not notice that some liquid spilt on my phone while driving and i left it there like that for a while . then When i got a call and answered couldn't hear the other person. Then i noticed water on the fingerprint scanner as i had a spigen case and it had managed to get into my phone. I turned off my phone immediately and disconnected everything. Next morning i happened to removed the board and dry it out as i have done this many times before when i changed the thermal paste. The water damage indicator was red. After ensuring everything had dried out i put it back together and my phone powered back on and it charges well. But when i go to play an audio file. I get an error Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file. The audio recorder hangs and i camera app also works but when i switch to video it hangs. Phone has been reset to factory. Same issue. Sorry for the long story. Need some Help on what part to replace. Is it the mic and speaker that's busted or some component like the DAC. If so where is the Dac located and how can i go about fixing this. Any part websites you recommend I'm from India.
Any help is nice guys. Please
My first V20 was one I bought on ebay that had sound not working. Also the camera was not working. I though it would be an easy fix, well, hoped actually, but it was not. I didn't pay much for it so I though it was worth the risk. The problem you have sounds exactly the same. Software reset won't fix it.
I did get it to work though temporarily. I put the motherboard in the oven for 10 minutes. It worked for a few days only.
The problem is that the DAC chip is now faulty due to water damage I'd say. You need a new motherboard. I would suggest buying a new v20 and keep the old one for charging your spare battery on quick charge! Or you can buy a new motherboard only on alliexpress for about 50/60 euros.
Thank you. I did consider an industrial oven. Could you please help me with temps you used? Was it the same error you got while trying to play a track?
