A serious problem with my screen:(

Hey guys,
I have a big problem with my phone. When i came back from school. the screen backlight off the phone turned on but i didn't saw anything. So i charged it but still had the same problem When i boot up i still hear the bootup sound and when I press the power button the screen backlicht still turns on and off qtadb recognized my phone 2 so i rebooted to download mode and flashed a stock rom. I think it is something between the screen and the phone connection. But I still have warrenty. If i didn't i would just open in myself to take a look
some 1 got this problem and solved it? it is almost holiday here so i can just flash the latest dutch stock rom and get it repaired
thanks in advance

Try screen capturing for being more sure.

If i was you i should go to a repair center from samsung (hope there is one in your area because in belgium there are only 4 mobile repaircentra )
But first of course flash a stock rom

I flashed 4 times by now, so it isn't a problem with the firmware. I think it is a defect. but there is a service centre in range but it is kpn buissiness centre.. and my mother told me they can't fix it becouse they only do sotware (her htc legend was broken 2).. so ill send it myself if i can
thanks for all of you guys help

no thanks at all
I just searched on the site of samsung for Mobile Phone repair centers and In the Netherlands there are only 3 Repair centers for samsung phones all the rest of the repair centers are for Household Electronic and don't do mobile phones so i hope you live in the area of one of them
Good luck
EDIT: WOOPS there are more than 3 mobile phone repaircentra in the Netherlands

there are alot more.. but yeah they don't fix hardware as i said.. i will just send it myself if i can

Hope it gets fixed asap. We need guys like you to have a working phone
So nice to see all developers replying to your problem This is one hell of a community

they(samsung guys) can not/won't look at your phone bootloader. So relax & just flash a stock dutch rom without bootloader.

camera error

I bought a new Galaxy s2 this week and I have been really pleased with it, except for one thing: when I want to open the camera app I get the following error( and after the app shuts down): "Warning: camera failed" .
I have already tried a factory reset, but with no results.
Then, after I rooted the phone and installed lightning rom on it in the hope there was a software problem that should be helped. but again no results.
When I for example want to make a video call using skype, it works great with the front facing cam. However when I switch to back camera the screen freezes.
So, I am starting to get the feeling that the problem lies with the hardware.. although I am not sure.
Is there anyone who knows what might be the problem? And if the phone should be sent back?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately this DOES sound like a hardware error. Your best bet would be to return to stock (and get a jig to reset the binary counter) and send it back to Samsung.

Proximity sensor faulty galaxy s gti9000

Does anyone know of a way to remove the proximity sensor drivers or shut it off completely my screen just goes black during a call and i need to use the keypad during calls i have tried all the proximity apps on market and it has no effect, have tried calibration etc odin firmware updates to the point i killed my phone just got it back from repair and was told it needs a new chip to rectify the problem.
I have spent weeks going through forums for a solution and i know on my brothers sgs 2 it has a setting in the menu to turn it off.
This seems to be a common problem with no resolve so im looking for someone to resolve this problem and make alot of people happy.
We all no As these phones age this will be more and more common.
Techies get ur teeth into this or even software writers make An app n earn some cash,
This would b a great ego booster for someone to say i solved that when no one in the world could.
Thanks...........looney

Maybe this sounds stupid but why don't you just press the home button while you call. Screen will turn on again and you can access keypad or speaker or whatever. This takes only seconds...
Sry when I understood you wrong...

The common keypad when using phone is phone-keypad... *#0-9
Never tried other keyboard to send DTMF signals :\
Thx for reading, press THANKS if u like

if your phone screen goes black but does not become visible again when you move the phone from head (proximity sensor got two states 1 and 0) you either have badly flashed firmware or faulty sensor. for the first you can try reflshing to LATEST (unrooted) stock firmware from samsung and then checking again if your bug persist but for second only thing you can do is to return phone on warranty to service center.
anyways no app is needed for that. should work without any.

Hi thanks for the suggestions phone is in a crash state until force close happens so force close won't work pressing the home key or any other for that matter.
As like many i brought my phone second hand and although i have loads of Samsung kit registered with them Im an engineer and look to solve things in the future when warranties have long expired.
Thanks for the reply though monk.
I have googled the problem and i don't seem to be the only person with the fault.
Someone has written an app to kill drivers but don't know where the driver is for the proxy and its a new program with hardly any testing done so not sure if it will have any other adverse effects and killed my phone once already that's why Im asking more expert advice as Im fairly new to android os.

Got the details from my bro the stock he has wich turns it off is
base xxke4
build xwke7
build xwke7
But that's on a galaxy s 2 gti9100 if someone can find identical software that works on the g1 i9000

how to turn off LG G6 retail Demo mode

Hi all,
I recently bought G6 from kijiji, the seller was selling cheap bcz of the phone is in a retail demo.
I know I can't use SIM in this phone but is there any way at least I can disable or remove "Retail Demo"
so that I can use for music and pics
I can only reboot the phone with "Power" and "Vol-Down" since I can't turn off the phone I can't get into recovery mode so that I can flash factory "KDZ"
please help
Thanks in advance

That is stolen, it would only have a retail mode with a password when stores receive it to set up the demo on them

There's a demo mode in Developer Options. Not sure if that really does anything.

Finally I am able to get in to download mode, but I can't flash kdz it giving error "required information not found" contact your administrator.
Any idea?
I have tried "Demo mode“ in developer mode but that was already off . i turned it on & off but that didn't help.
It's European model H870, is it rootable?

There's no way to root the device. Unless you can flash factory software you are likely screwed.
Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk

will it work if I can flash factory software ?

Unless there is some hardware blocking flashing other firmware, in theory, if the phone root or fastboot is achieved you might be able to. It's also waiting/guessing game at the moment.

A guy on kijiji flash G6 with "Orange" ROM via octoplus box, demo mode is clear and he managed to write IMEI as well but the issue is since its missing .qnc file I can't connect to mobile network.
dose any once has .qnc file for H870?

As stated before. Stolen phone. Manufacturers are taking precautions to ensure demo phones aren't used in case they get stolen. I don't think you'll be able to make it work
Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk

You seem to have convinced yourself it's a stolen phone with no proof whatsoever.
Just stating you don't think it will work doesn't help the OP so it's pointless.
@sanjayjp99
Sorry bud but I haven't a clue what you can do. Hopefully soon someone will have the magic you seek :good:

as far as ive seen on samsungs, demos actually miss even the gsm hardware antenna and antenna jack. Other than that, factory demos have 2 or 3 security layers, so you dont come anywhere even if
you break the first password.
Dont know about lg, but it could be the same...

I know about Samsung devices, I bought this only for music and pics but so far I am able to flash 'orange' ROM and write IMEI since modem is present in the device. Only thing I need is .qnc file.

Go to app drawer and see if that's an app

Delete

I purchased a Demo G4 once from a store.. couldnt do anything with it, wouldnt flash, wouldnt root.. couldnt get TWRP on it or anything... had to return it for a refund...
My only advice.. hire 6 big guys with crowbars and go get your money back, youve been ripped off friend, sorry

Look through the apps installed, there should be one that looks like a pink and white lemonade stand called lg retail or something like that. Open it and it should ask you for a password. The password is 103729. Then go to the settings scroll all the way down to uninstall. It will ask for a password again but this time it will be L310MC570G. Let it do its thing, do a factory reset and clear the cache then you can set it up as a new phone
Edit: That is assuming whoever put the phone in retail mode didn't change the password after initial setup. Those are the default passwords, most places just leave the default. Also the second password is case sensitive

Whoever put the password would mean it was retail stock demo stock and stolen

Could be, then again might just be a store that closed and sold off their demos, or even just an idiot who had the phone before OP who accidently turned on retail mode to test something and didn't know you needed a different password to turn it back off. Not here to have an ethical debate, just sharing info.

Problem in my SMA-R Dual smartwatch

I have a SMA-R Dual SmartWatch and a few months ago it stopped working at once The screen did not turn on and it did not make any sound I yesterday I used the directory found here on the site (I did not find it again) and I put with it the Firmware of NO.1 G3 and it worked partially My intention is that the clock is now It also plays the sounds of NetNon and responds to the connection to the computer and even shows the files when you connect to the computer but I have one small problem The screen does not turn on everything works except the screen Does anyone know what can be done to solve this problem ????
Thanks for the helpers

The screen has different drivers and will not work until you find the correct rom
Try the "needrom" site.....
