my t mobile is dead..couple of days ago it turn itself of i turned it back on and it when into safe mode then it turned of again and now it want come back on at all tryed charging it but nothing no lights no nothing i took battery out and left it for awhile put it back in then it lite up but no screen came on and would not turn of so took battery out again and still nothing its just dead if any could help i would be grateful but to me i think it should go in the bin as i didnt get the phone of t mobile so can't take it back to them
g1 in the bin
g1 has got to be the worst phone i have ever put my hands on load of **** think its time for the bin only place its good for but thanks for the help
Try with another battery. If it does not work, your phone is completely dead.
I had similar issues with my old G1 and the only solution for me /after trying with another battery/ was to buy used G1 from ebay with broken screen, in order to replace the motherboard.
thanks
thanks but i'm not going to buy another g1 as i know its only about 7 or 8 months old and if theres a problem so soon then theres always going to be problems not a very good phone at all thinking of getting a nokia phone instead they don't seem to have all the problems that these phones do cheers anyway
maybe all the run on sentances lack of punctuation and other stuff just made it go insane and give up and just die because it didnt want to put up with it anymore and because everyone else out there never had any problems with their g1 at all so maybe you can get a replacement if you have the insurance or whatever but you already said you wouldnt have another one because its a total pos phone and i guess you better just go buy an iphone or whatever from ebay because they usually almost always sometimes have decent phones on ebay and when you get it you need to put an otter box on it to keep it in good condition or else your screen will smack slap give a dog a bone break in two piecs and youll be all BOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO MY IPHONE ARE BROKED AGAIN so then youll drop att like a hot pertado and come back to tmo with a brand new nexus one but hten you realize you need to keep your att contract for 2 more yearzes and you have to get a att nexus one instead of the tmo nexus one and youll be happy and in hog heaven ok cool great k thx bye

so you bought it off some other person? You wanna buy my phone? I'm going to kick it around, open it up and mess with it then sell it to you! Totally blame the phone if there are any problems!
yes bought this phone of my daughter when it was NEW as she got one on contract so i bought it of her from NEW..not
dropped the phone or kicked it around like you think.. i'm an adult not a ****ing child as you think..that's how i know
how old this pos phone is..and as it is i didn't know that my punctuations were that important..i was here for help
not an english lesson
I could help here, but refuse to help anyone that cannot respect basic grammar. Learn how to respect others before you expect them to respect you.
well what can i say to that..but thanks to all for all the help..maybe some of us didn't have the schooling that others had..sorry for being a brain dead anyway
mmmmm
now this thread not looking good ?? only i got a similar problem. posted in Q&A if anyone could help
Just ran into this on Ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Nook-Color-SD-card-rooting-program-Installed-/160524547022?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25600233ce
Whoever bought that card must be insane...
....and the other auction for$ 350 for a rooted Nook Color.
Preying on other peoples ignorance is not a very nice trait unfortunately there are always some people who will try to take advantage of others for profit.
Maybe we should spam the listings!
LOL The same or similar happened when the Pandigital Novel was rooted.
Perhaps the same guy who is selling it on youtube ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVMRwn_PnY&feature=related
and he is running all this from microSD
http://www.youtube.com/user/xboxexpert#p/u/0/DyNllv7TPXs
I dunno, I rooted my friends NC and he insisted on paying me. I did it right even wrote some new batch scripts to mod the system apps for him. He was so stoked and dazzled that he would not take no for an answer. Finally settled for a good bottle of Hennessy. I definitely made out on the deal, but he is really happy. I don't think it is necessarily preying on ppls ignorance, some ppl just don't want to be bothered. I know how to change my oil but I still take my cars to a shop to have it done. Just saying.

I can understand that, but in this case someone is selling programs that were made to be free..
Look on craigslist in any city, there are people advertising iPhone jailbreaking for $30 a pop.
Rooting is a pretty simple process, but some people are scared of anything involving modding and if they're willing to pay for it, why can't someone sell it to them?
It certainly wasn't me, and I wouldn't recommend anyone I know to pay for it, but they have a right to sell and the buyers have a right to buy.
Are they selling the programs though or the skills to do it that is the issue really. I rooted a friends for no charge. If someone offers as a thanks then fine but ya selling what is effectively someone elses work blows. Maybe they were part of the team working on it they deserve the$ $$ maybe this guy will donate eh
It was relisted so I don't think anyone was dumb enough to pay money for it.
I think he is just selling microSD cards so this can be re-listed many times over

What a douchenozzle. First he clones information and claims its his, now he's SELLING NOOT on ebay. He better be contributing back to the salting effort or other things.
hum
lets see the way ebay treats sellers all this guy has to do is root his NC then file a claim stating card does not work as intended or is faulty ebay /paypal will then issue refund after he sends it back .
then think who really got screwed

so i dont own this phone but my brother in law does. its not rooted and totally stock. he has such bad problems with it and doesnt want to flash or root it. i own a photon on sprit and know a ton about android os and the bounty of phones they offer. im just wondering. he wants a new phone because hes sick of this one and has insurance on it. verizon wont help him and i understand why. now im sorry i dont want to fish thru all the fourms to see the new newsso can someone just tell me and then get rid of this thread. if he "breaks" his phone and calls and pays the 100 for the new one will it still be the same phone? or are they out and will he get something else. thanks for your help everyone and long live google!!!!

Verizon doesn't sell new revolutions anymore but they do have refurbished ones that they will push on him. I have seen stories in these forums of people who went to the store and put up enough of a stink about their revolution that they got a different phone. However I think most of them were on their second or third replacement.
yeah iv seen that myself first hand but hes not the kind of guy to make a stink over things. thanks for the help and replay. im talking about asuron (spelling sorry) what would they give? a refurb? or something else?
All depends on the problems really. Usually they'll just give a replacement.
thanks not what he wants to here but we will try thanks for the help man. please mods get rid of this
I went through 3-4 Revos before they sent me a different phone. Good luck with whatever happens.

Verizon does not handle the insurance. Asurion I believe does. They most likely have plenty of Revolutions in stock. What he will most likely get is someones factory reset POS. They don't actually fix the phones you send back. If they boot, they wipe em and re-flash them. they do a few quick tests then in the bin it goes for warranty and insurance replacements.
i never knew of them giving you a different phone, just tell him to root and flash a custom rom and the phone will be better than a new one
Hey guys, i could use a quick cheer up. Everyone tell me how your week has been.
I got a raise Monday, now I make 10 cents above minimum wage! I found a lump on my testicles Wednesday and was diagnosed with testicular cancer on Friday, which coincidentally was the day my parents held a family meeting telling us that they were going to file a divorce by the end of next week. I don't even know what to do anymore.
Anyone out there need to talk about their problems? I don't have anyone in particular to talk to.

hey man sorry to hear! one of my best friends had the same thing about a year and a half ago and went through all the treatment and is now cancer free. keep your head up and by all means do the treatment. did they test the lump bc my grandmother had a tumor on her brain and the dr told her she only had 2 months to live and it was cancer so she got a second opinion from another dr and said there was no way to tell untill they got it out. she did have the tumor removed and it was not cancer.
Sorry to hear that man i had a bad week but nothing like that....i totaled my car and my skyrocket flew out the window so i picked up the note but although i came out fine my brother had to get stitches and has a fractured hand.

Cheer up, no matter what your going through, some people have it worse. My week was pretty good. One day last week (I think it was Tuesday) I was on my way to work on the highway and I seen a Guy walk out of hid car and jump in front of a semi truck and died instantly. Don't wanna disgust u with the details but it was horrible. You just have to be thankful that it was testicular cancer instead of something much more severe. Remember nothing is ever perfect and that is what keeps me going whenever something happens. Also remember that some people don't have parents. Good luck

I've never had reason to doubt my doctor, but I suppose a second opinion wouldn't hurt. He says it is malignant, but I hope it is just a tumor. My best friend had to have his left testicle removed a few months ago. You don't know how relieved I would be if it were just a tumor, and that it could be removed safely. From what I understand though testicular cancer is one of those things where you preety much have to go under the needle and remove the testicle to cure it.

yea i would always get a second opinion for something that serious anyway. i think my buddy had to have his removed also but he did have to do treatment. so did he test it to see if it was malignant im not a dr but i dont see how they would know without a test

Yeah he said that it was malignant, based on tests. I still want to get a second doctors opinion on the matter, even if it sounds ignorant. Better safe than sorry.
I can't imagine seeing that man jump in front of a semi D: I saw a smoking, fiery semi truck sliding down a highway on its side once a few years back. It was such a surreal moment for me.

Hey guys,
Totally depressed over here. So I save and save and save and BOOM, Im the proud owner of a Nexus 6. I hit up Swappa because Ive had good dealings with solid dudes there in the past. I got my phone on Friday after work. It was described on Swappa as Mint, and on the exterior it was just that Mint I turned it on with SIM in and ready to fall in love. What I got was a device that everytime the screen times out, or you are done for a minute and hit the power button, if it sits idle for more than 5-10 min its basically dead to the world, google voice, manual hitting the power button, plugging in the charger, NOTHING....The only way, and I mean the ONLY way I can get it to turn back on is to hold the power button for like 20 or 30 seconds and then it turns on. I tried to contact the dude I got it from about it and he just said I am full of S**t and it worked perfect when he sent it to me. He said basically screw you. Took a LOT of hard a** work to save up to get this phone man and It looks like Im hit. Do any of you guys have any clues or a godsent solution to this hell? I need yalls help. Im totally at a loss for why this is happening.

They won't do anything unfortunately. His better option is to go through PayPal.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Go through PayPal and Swappa. And leave a negative review on him. Make sure you keep records of all interactions with him as proof.
---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------
Or, you could try flashing the stock firmware. But it will be tedious with the phone acting like that. I'd personally want my money back.
Swappa believe it or not told me, work it out with him. I qued them in on every message I sent him and they just replied well sorry you couldnt work it out. I am actually surprised that as buyer seller protected they shout about over there all they really do is make sure the esn isnt smashed. they dont help resolve issues like this at all. His ad clearly stated no returns unless not as advertised. he advertised mint, so any of you here know exactly what that means. He told me to take a video of the phone actually doing it, and in the next sentence said it was working perfect when he shipped it. Wheres his video to prove that? Even Swappa lets a guy go down in flames huh? This Item is not as described if it locks up. Its not "Functions Flawlessly" as they advertised. sorry this isnt the place for this. It took me a long time to come up with the money he just stole from me
That really sucks man, sorry to hear about your problem. try going into bootloader and like said flashing stock firmware, hopefully that'll fix it.
Mint means perfect. Flash stock, if the same problem exists, its faulty and not mint.
When I sold my first nexus 6, the initial install was all wacky. I assumed it was from using custom Roms and android m on the phone. Flashed a few more times and factory reset and it was good as new.
Same thing happen with note 4 and lg g3 before shipping.

As previously advised, open a PayPal case. "Device Significantly Not As Described". You will get your money back. PayPal nearly always sides with the buyer.
Doing a lot of research, I had heard of people who had glass screen savers that screwed up their proximity sensor. This phone does have one, but I am in a situation where I can't really take it off because let's say it doesn't fix the issue and I do get granted a refund, then I'm screwed because I have to return it the same way I got it.

I don't believe PayPal would deny your claim for removing the screen protector, in an effort to try to solve the problem. IMHO.
Sounds software related. Download and install factory sysimage, then factory wipe, and see how that goes.
Flash another rom or factory most likely should work
hi
Start it in bootloader then select QCOM test that. for me it has been the solution to all errors.

Well i had a proximity issue when i had my screen replaced but flashed back to android version 5.0.1 and the issue is totally gone. Try reverting back to 5.0.1
Thanks everyone for being so helpful. Yesterday I had been hoping and praying for the best. And the screen completely went dark with wierd lines and dots and finally just doesn't come on at all no matter what I do. It's gone. No bringing it back now. Totally bummed. PayPal said they will open a case and it's gonna be like 10 days before anything else happens cause this bum wouldn't refund my money. You guys are really awesome for jumpin out there to help me so much. I'm poor as heck so what sucks is it took me 2 months of saving every penny just to get scammed. Now all I have is my work phone and I'll probably get in trouble for using it for this. Lol life is crappy sometimes. Peace community
eMMC failure... That douche did scam you and he did it hard. Hope you get it sorted.
There is no way this slime ball didnt know what was up with that phone. Too bad too. I just hope I get my money back
Dang I'm sorry this happened to you man, that really sucks from reading this. I hope Paypal sorts everything out for you and you get your money back.

What is eMMC? I don't think I've heard of that. If I cant get my money back I wonder how much it would cost to repair. I'm probably screwed there too. I bet it's more to fix than to buy a different phone. Too bad honesty is like the tooth fairy these days, because I don't think I'll ever buy another used phone and I know there's good ones out there. By the time I save up enough to do that again Nexus 6 will be 100 bucks
