Installed an Android swm 8802-everything works fine; sound, bluetooth, radio, etc., but I am only able to do anything with the remote, and it is limited to four 'modes', I can't get to settings with the remote. The touch screen is totally locked, right from startup. After the logo screen, a message appears at the top of the screen with a locked padlock icon and the words "App Permission". Then the message leaves and it loads to the home screen, but the locked padlock icon stays in the upper left and the touch screen is still locked, nothing works. The four buttons on the side all work (back, home, recent, and volume knob), and the pinhole reset button works too, and the USB, just no touch functions. I have tried reset alone and together with every combination on the side buttons, tried re-installing the whole HU, no luck. If there is an Android ROM to flash to it I am willing to try that after I hear from the seller. I have a Support request into the seller, but they're in China. Any suggestions out there? Besides buying a name brand one locally, lol!!
Update: The touch screen is bad, the ribbon connection at the bottom of the screen that attaches to the face has come off. Anybody know how to reattach it? I tried lining up all the leads as best as I could and taping it in place, but no luck. Some sort of conductive glue?

Look up how to connect a ribbon cable to board. There's a little clamp that pops up. Slide the cable back in and press the clamp down

I recently got hold of a disabled XDA and since then i have been reading your board intensively.
The unit boots. And i get a T-mobile -test- display. In the lower right hand corner there is a number like 4.21xxxx. After a few seconds in the same corner i get some more data. From there the unit does nothing.
As far as i know the walliby works fine. i can read/write to SD and i can also get the testing mode. All works fime except for the touching display.
If i use the stylus it does not respond, if i use my finger the "+" moves to the corners of the display.
What to do next? :
should i flash my rom to the original O2 settings
should i dive into the T-mobile reset as descibed in this board.
If a hard reset will solve it then fine ... or you will have to flash the ROM since the boot loader is still functioning
Thanks
Thank you, but how do i do a hard reset.
I know how to do the soft reset. putting the stylus in the hole with the on key pressed down.
Rien
in the buttom of the xda1 there is a small hole where you put in the stylus to do a softreset
on the other side of the connector there is another hole and some picture of a batt or something
that hole is used for hardreset
if you want to know more
stuff like this is all over hte manual

Hey all, I'm new to the forums but I can't wait to get my 8125 working. I bought a replacement screen on ebay and a broken 8125.. on receipt all I got was a white screen, then last night I replaced with the new screen and got the cingular logo and the windows mobile "touch anywhere to set up.." message.
Well, touching it did nothing, and the keyboard didn't work, so i opened it up again.
Somehow when I opened it up, the power switch button circuit thing detached from the mainboard (and it looks like the owner before me had actually crazy glued it on!!) .. and now the thing won't power up, won't show a charge light... nothing at all when plugged in or attached to my PC. So I hope that detached power button is the culprit. Upon further inspection I saw that yet another had detached but I can't seem to find where it landed... this one for the little button next to the slider, I don't really know what it does yet.. .
.. so I guess first step is to solder that power button back on and see what happens. Does it sound like a missing power button circuit thing would cause the unit to no longer power on at all (even when soft reset when connected to PC, which used to power it on?)

i did this. it is hell to solder on. I would say replace the phone

Argh.. well, i'll give it a go with the power switch.... do you think it will affect the phone to be missing the comm manager switch off the mainboard too... or will the phone still function without this piece soldered on?

Yes, the power on/off button being broken is the reason why you had a white screen, and only getting the splash screen after replacing the touch screen. If you're a good assembly man, I'd suggest try to solder the button back ln place or replace the device. As for the button by the volume slider, that's the comm manager button. If you can ever get to the homescreen, the comm manager icon to activate the comm manager (bluetooth, WiFi, etc. is in the system tray at the bottom of the homescreen.
It sounds to me the new screen was replaced improperly, accounting for nothing happening when you tap it.Try re-installing the replacement screen.

I am attempting to replace my Nexus 7 digitizer and LCD screen with one I purchased from gadgetfix on eBay, and I can't get the replacement screen to power on. Can someone advise me on things I can try to get it working?
I used a guide on Android Authority and understand that there's two ribbon cables that need to be re-connected (one that feeds through the body of the tablet, and one dual-connector that wraps around the side), as well as the power connector.
I can tell that the Nexus does power up when everything is re-assembled and I press the power on button. Plug it into my Mac, and Android File Transfer boots up. I think the digitizer is responding because when I touch the screen, it says stuff like "Welcome" and "English United Kingdom" (I'm guessing this is the Welcome language selection screen).
If I press the power button while it's turned on, it says "Screen off." Also, at one point it said "1:30am ringer 70 percent."
This is my second attempt at this - after returning/replacing the first one, I encountered the same issue. So I'm starting to think it's either my tablet or something I'm doing.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
have the same problem here... and many more out there...
bought new screen & digitizer from china phone accessories as recommended from you tube user... specifically requested for 3G model since it seems that different version has different screen...
fixed today, already checked the connection multiple times, but the screen wont show anything... there's power for the screen... is there anyway to workaround it... tried the power + volume button press but still no respond... since there's no respond on this thread for more than a year, it must be very bad issue...
would try to swap screen with my other unit but afraid the worst could happen, both unit wont show anything...
I've had an Android head unit in my E46 for about 4 years now and is has been working fine. Got it second hand so no idea what brand it is. All I can say is that it's using a Telechips TCC8900 Evaluation Board. When I switch it on, there's a toggle between the Android "side" of it and the radio, SD card, AUX in side. Recently the Android side starts to boot and then the screen flickers and fades out with these weird black and white patterns, like an old tv switching off. It never boots. The FM "side" boots just fine with no such issues so it doesn't seem to be a screen problem.
I've tried hitting the rest button, holding the reset button, holding the reset button with a combination of other buttons but nothing is working.
I know the info is scant but if anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate some help.
Hello friends.
I have the following thing with my volume up button. If I run a finger along, it would flex and slightly click both on top and bottom portions of the button (no press action registered), like something is moving under it. No such thing with volume down button, it's solid. But both buttons work perfectly fine with adjusting volume.
I thought that was the problem, so I stopped at the T-Mobile store, where I bought my G6. Seller ended up opening two brand-new devices and they both had this issue, even worse than my original phone: when I was running my finger along volume buttons, they clicked like I was pressing them. But store display phones didn't have this problem.
I took my original phone back as of now. Do your phones buttons have similar clicking thing, if you run your finger along them? Is this an issue at all?
Otherwise, I like the phone, it's a good device. I can probably just put a case, that covers buttons, so that they don't flex.
