Hi . I'm going to replace my vox for TyTn 2 (!) . I need to know , what I need to check if i want to avoid sending phone to services (I think Construction , some problems like bad joystick ... ) ?
i purchased my kaiser brand new in may 2008...so you will probably get better advice from those that have gotten refurbished or second hand units.
anyway, heres a list of items you might want to check (based on my own observations as well as based on the readings/reports of various issues i've read about here on the forum):
1. hardware keys should work 100%. some users buying off ebay, for example, report that the phone works and the FRONT buttons work but the slide out keyboard is shot. just an example, it could be the other way around. but the point is to check and make sure each and every button works.
2. usb connector should work 100%. best way to check is to see if the phone can establish an activesync connection (with a known working cable) and if the orange charging LED lights up. next, hook up a wired headset (that is known to work correctly) to see if the pins for the audio signals are functioning on the usb connector. long press the button on the wired headset to see if the device starts to dial the last number dialed.
3. look out for "dead pixels". there should be NONE. because the kaiser has a relatively low resolution screen with less pixel density, i don't think it is acceptable for there to be ANY dead pixel at all because even one can become an eye sore. a quick way to check is to bring up an all-black screen and see if all the pixels are black. next, bring up an all-white screen and see if all pixels have turned white. also remember that sometimes dead pixels come and go. i've had TWO dead pixels during my ownership of the kaiser. one went away as soon as i flicked the device from the side and it never came back. another one lasted for a week and had me quite worried because it happened after my warranty period was over. i tried "dead pixel 'sweepers'" and maybe they helped because that particular dead pixel also eventually went away after a week and never reappeared.
4. scratches on the camera lens. note that the kaiser has a plastic lens "cover" on the back cover of the device. this part is known to get easily scratched and i don't think it is reasonable to be anal about this part. HOWEVER, if you take the back cover OFF, then the actual camera lens underneath the back cover should be spotless. check BOTH cameras to see if they work and can capture decent images (test the main camera with the back cover OFF to get better results).
5. the slide mechanism should be relatively "solid". look for distortions on the image displayed on the screen as you slide. ensure that the sim remains detectable when the keyboard is slid out. ensure that the front buttons work when the keyboard is slid out. ensure that the microsd card slot continues to work when the keyboard is slid out. all of the above mentioned items are connected to the main motherboard via "ribbon cables" (hidden underneath the sliding mechanism) and sliding out the keyboard can cause faulty ribbon cables to act up. look out for that!
6. make sure the status/notification LEDs work. read the WIKI/manual for information about the normal/expected behavior of the LEDs.
7. the earpiece should work. the loudspeaker should work. the microphone should work.
8. the touch screen should work! try out bubblebreaker so that you can check the responsiveness of the screen across its entire surface. recalibrate the screen if you have to. remember, the kaiser's touch screen can occasionally be a bit fussy if a screen protector is present.
9. look for obvious scratches/damage to the screen and body. try to see if the damage really matters to you (as an eyesore) or to the device (can it affect the device's normal functioning?).
10. check the water exposure stickers under the battery to make sure they have not turned a pinkish color. if they are pink, there is a chance that the device was exposed to some amount (or a lot of) water in the past. while you're at it, check the battery contacts for corrosion (might cause power issues later) and check the battery compartment for any signs that a previous battery may have leaked (extremely unlikely). who knows, maybe the owner had it properly serviced after the water exposure so no harm in asking. if properly serviced at the right time after water exposure, there have been many success stories here on the forum of the device continuing its normal functioning.
ummm thats about it from my side, hope this helps!
TYVM ... i have this phone ... I'm really exited . I'm going to do Hard SPL tomorrow ... I want some good rom ... so what is fast ... and have that D3D driver ??
congratulations!
i answered your original question because it was a bit of a unique question.
but your second question about "which ROM is good and fast" cannot be answered by anyone except for YOURSELF. go ahead and explore the Kaiser ROM Development Section. read about some of the ROMs that seem to interest you. try out a few of them and see what you like and dislike. good luck!
OK ... can you tell me ... what does thet D3D driver ??? and why 101 MB ram and D3D not working together ???
And one more thing ... i try ANYTHING but i cannot set up android and run it .... And also I don't know how to make that default.txt
And can you explain me this ??? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL8uq4FtduY

Hello, moving from trusty dash/excalibur - doa over weekend - to either kaiser/att tilt or fuze. Going to buy from 3rd party off craigslist - please clue me in as to what to watch out for, problems with phone not obvious, esn issues, etc., going in a couple of hours.
Thanks very much as I am clueless on these phones.
For kaiser, make sure the tilt aspect of the device holds. My first one got really weak that when you'd tilt the screen up it'd fall right back down.
For both, kaiser and raphael, slide it open and close a couple times and watch out if its smooth or not. Theres a ribbon cable that connects the top half of the device to the bottom half, if you hold the device up to a light while sliding it you and sometimes make it out (look between the screen and kb). Look at the edes of this and see if they're freyed at all. If so stay away.
Also the obvious, check for physical damage, take off the battery cover and battery and look at the heads of the screws and see if they've been messed with. They should be black and will show silver if they've been scratched (i.e. opened up with a screw driver).
Look for the warranty sticker, if its not there, stay away. On the kaiser if you take off the battery cover it'd be the hole thats on the top right. There should be a sticher in there that says void in white.
press every button and make sure it works. Open up new note to test the keyboard.
when you take out the battery, look for a white kind of fluffy sticker. If its blue that means the phones been subject to moisture/water.
I'd say thats about it, don't worry if the device runs slow or any of the software part of the device because that can all be flashed and customized.
last note, i'd go with the raphael over the kaiser.
good luck and enjoy your new device.
So its been about a year and half since I received this phone for my birthday, and from this moment on, I am 90% sure that these companies design these phones to fall apart after a while so you buy a new one.
Please to not be intimidated by the length of the problems, I really doent want to waste a $600 nice phone. Please help.....
List of problems:
So on one random day, while I was using my phone with EnergyROM sense 6.1 (Not even 6.5 (Windows 6.5.5)) the phone stopped rotating when I flipped the keyboard, as in the screen will not rotate when I try to use the keyboard. The touch screen also becomes uncalibrated, and even when I recalibrate it, it still acts very funky (have to click lower than button or higher, depending on its mood). I did absolutely nothing different with my phone that day, but I did not call my phone dead right away, so I decided to update the ROM with the latest sense 6.5 ROM to see if the OS is corrupt or over-cached. This did not fix the problem.
Also, another very weird thing is the phone's screen will illuminate (I guess backlight), but no picture will show when turned on after sleep mode, and I have to click the top button again to sleep and awake it to get a picture. When flipped, the screen doesn't even fully illuminate, and literally dies down to a black screen (half of the pixels are bright, and then it just fails).
Any help would be very appreciated. What I am thinking of is wiping the phone 100%, and not even leaving a rom on it. I heard there is a command that deletes the junk off your phone from a previous ROM to your updated ROM is clutter free. Any other suggestions?
Edit: I hard reset my phone, and nothing is fixed; I still cannot flip screen into landscape mode.
The "command" you are talking about is called "task 29", look for it in the ROM section.
It sounds like hardware problems, i've had mine for about 1 year and a half as well and no problems besides a couple of scratches.
The flex cable connecting LCD and board might be out of order.... I had the same issue.

Yeah I heard about that problem. I will first task 29 it, but are there any guides to take apart and fix the flex cable, or even just unplugging it and plugging it back in?
Also, what did you do with your broken phone? Did you buy a new one or get it fixed?
Thanks for the feed back both of you.
my X1 also aged same as yours and it still runs flawlessly now. so it might depends on how you used and keep it
as for the "wiping off the phone" its called task 29, and is encouraged to do before you flash a new ROM, have you did it before flashing energyROM?

No, but I just did now, but it seems to be a hardware problem because nothing seems to be working properly still. This is some serious BS because I am very over protected with this phone, just to prevent stuff like this to happen. I have never dropped it ONCE, and it seemed to just wear out by itself. The lenses covering the camera is cracked also, and the screen is all screwed up, and I didnt do absolutely nothing abusive to it, I am 110% sure of this.
Any suggestions on how to fix hardware/ ribbon connected to the screen problem?
Order a new cable and replace it.
If you search on Youtube for the video on how to disassemble x1 there is a complete guide that shows you. Its pretty easy and all you need to do is, take the flex cable out and carefully plug it back in. Then carefully put your X1 back together and hopefully you issue will be fixed. If it still persist, then try and get the flex cable changed.
Many users including me have faced this issue,the tablet screen automatically starts showing surface touches without any human intervention!!!!
so if you are looking for a fix to this issue you are on the right thread :victory:
Here are few things that worked for me and probably will work for you too
1.lock your tablet and open it again (ie make the display go to sleep for a while)
2.Reboot your device
these were the basic steps that might help but still if you get phantom touches refer further ;
This is the most important step that helped me and many users
*Go to settings>developer options>force GPU rendering (force use GPU for 2d drawings) click on it and enable it.
reebot your device
I cannot guarantee that doing the above procedure will fix all your touchscreen issues but as far as phantom touches are concerned it might help
to force GPU rendering is IMHO useless because all system apps and most play store apps use 2D GPU rendering already. This option is only there for developers who want to test their apps with 2D GPU rendering.

I can't give the reasons how 2d rendering works but it worked for me and I have searching for other possible reasons for phantom touches here is another possible reason
1.open your back panel, look at the right side,there is a black piece of foam tape on the cable attached to the touchscreen. when touching this tape or slightly pushing
down on this part of the device touch input starts to go crazy. I have noticed this also happens when the cover is closed and
you push down on the spot where the tape is.
So this probably means the ribbon cable gets flexed too much or maybe shorts when pressure is put on the back of the
tablet.
Put a little piece of plastic right under where ribbon cable comes up from the screen
and you are done
WARNING: Be careful or you might screw up,I will not be responsible if you spoil your Nexus

Don't worry I soldered to the bord of my tablet 3+ times
But I don't seem to get phantom touches anymore
Well once evey 2 months or so. I'm fine
Theoretically it dosent help because its a hardware problem.I have ever met that probelm and fortunately my tablet was in warranty that time then i sunk help to ASUS.I witnessed how they solve the probelm:They cable-flashed a screen aligning rom into it and callibrated.Then they flashed the stock rom and everything is Okay now.youd better call the supporting center.

There are many possible reasons to have phantom touches on screen let me explain
Capacitance has little to do with conductivity and virtually no electrons actually cross the
capacitance gap (think insulator). It is a measure of a change in the electromagnetic field around
the anode and cathode...causing a change in the difference of pressure between negative and
positive electrons on those competing surfaces separated by an insulator (or ambient charge).
By bringing something capable of either holding a static charge, conducting electricity or otherwise
affecting the measured capacitance (electromagnetic field) near it, the capacitance changes and this
is how it determines where the screen is being touched. It doesn't have to actually contact (or
conduct) which is why you can place a thin cloth or piece of paper over the screen and still activate
it.
Don't believe me? Try it. Put a piece of printer paper over the screen and then try to select an app.
Don't be too shocked when it loads. Another test , even more revealing to prove it... Put your phone
in a zip-lock bag (the plastic bag doesn't conduct electricity), and zip it closed. Then watch in
amazement as the phone's touch screen works perfectly inside the bag. If this weren't true, then
screen protectors wouldn't work unless they conducted electricity.
Moisture, grease, dirt...even dust changes the capacitance and can create an unstable reading such
that it can detect "ghost" touches, or real touches can be distorted fooling the digitizer into thinking
it has more than one press going on (this is a multi-touch screen digitizer), or that the actual press
is somewhere else on the screen.
Voltage fluctuations and "dirty power" such as produced by lower quality wall adapters can also
cause similar results. There are plenty of threads on the subject.
In your case, it was obviously hardware, but just because you identified and resolved your issues
regarding hardware, doesn't mean anyone else who offers an alternative potential cause is a "weirdo". By making blanket statements like that one, you effectively rule out all but your own
hypothesis, and then you make yourself look like the "know-it-all weirdo".
My device and solution
Like stated problems may come in different forms and solutions may vary depending on the issue. However after reading a lot of different forums I decided to fix the issue myself.
The problems were a lot of "phantom touches" and not responsive to touches at all. Only a lock up and open or reboot helped until I found out what caused it for me.
I have Nexus 7 2012 model and my problems were temporarily solved. I traced the problem to the touch screen connector (the one with 2 separate heads). So every time when you press on the case from the left side with your left hand roughly in the middle, the problems started. I opened the case and wiggled the cable to verify. Then I applied an extra screw to the one possible hole next to the cable to firm up the casing and so it doesn't bend inward towards the cable and cause the connection issue. Helped for some time. I have to find a more permanent solution. The linked video will show you the location on the cable and how to open your nexus 7 2012. Only do it if your WARRANTY IS NOT APPLICABLE AND WITH YOUR OWN RISK!!! Otherwise use the generic warranty routes and follow those. I shall not take any responsibility for your bricking your device. [Well I'm new and can't post the link to the tube video, but you can search it with the title "How to Fix Nexus 7 Touch Screen Problems" by Tampatec]
Hi not many posts as always been a lurker. I recently changed 2 lcd's on 2 different phones. 1st one went fine, but the second on is just showing as if it has a smart case on it at all times meaning cant access the phones features. Tried a couple of troubleshooting steps but still no avail.
1. Different LCD on phone - still same fault
2. Removed proximity sensor - still same fault
3. tried darkening proximity let through on the glass - still same fault
4. Factory reset and cleared cache - still same fault
The customer did say this was playing up once she had broken the screen but though id tap into you experts knowledge to see if you had come across this before or what could i do to remedies this.
If i posted in wrong area appologies please advise where to post!
Many Thanks
Eddie
As far as I know, it senses magnetic fields in order to determine whether the cover is on or not.
I wouldn't think the magnetic sensor is in the screen, which it also doesn't appear to be.
I would look into troubleshooting there instead. Maybe try "resetting" it by putting a strong magnet to it? At your own risk, of course, though I wouldn't expect much to happen.
Replacing the sensor might be the only way out, and it's probably soldered to the board.
Foscot thanks for your reply, will look into this and see if i can get some results. Will post to confirm.

Hi Foscot, a few updates, i noticed the liquid indicator is red so it seems that some damaged must of been caused there, mostly at the bottom of the handset. I cleaned with alcohol and the handset come to light and was working with full screen but then went back to its flip case state. i am thinking maybe changing the sub pba (if i can find one)
Thanks for your help
Will post updates.

Makes a lot of sense. Water shorted out the magnetic field sensor, which has caused it to always sense the flip case. New PBA is likely the only fix.
Make sure to keep me updated, it's quite interesting

All good it seems, i doused in alcohol and gave it a good clean and charged over night now 100% battery with no flip case problem! sensor must be sorted ! going to give back to customer and hopefully all stays well. Many thanks for your help!
Hi. Interesting post. Can you tell me which part of the phone you cleaned with alcohol? Have the same problem with my p9 plus which thinks the flip case is on. Disassembled much of the phone and tried to clean it with paper and alcohohol but with no result. Also tried putting a magnet near the phone.
Update. Disassembled the phone and cleaned all the parts on the lower side of the phone including the board and now it works again.
Hey guys
I have a very strange problem with my Huawei P10
About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that two purple horizontal stripes are appearing in a 3-4sec sequence
Normally, I would immediately ask for a repair, but there's a thing which persecutes me: it only happens when I don't touch the screen for longer than 3-4sec
When there's a continuous contact with the screen (e.g when writing a message) nothing happens, everything is fine and dandy, but whenever I leave the screen for itself for 3 or more seconds (e.g when watching a movie), the stripes start to appear every few seconds, and continue until the screen goes dark or until I touch it again, but after touching it it still takes only a few seconds for the stripes to sequentially flicker again
Here's what I've tried so far (no result):
- safe mode
- factory reset
- cache partition wiping
- cord input deep clean
What may be the reason?
Hey.
It's 100% a board or Display issue. send it for repairs. but i believe maybe you've dropped ur phone. Anyways Huawei knows better.

It's quite complicated
I once dropped it, but even after that, the previous LCD worked fine, there were no errors other than broken glass, so I guess we could exclude a board issue and lean toward your second option, as now that the LCD has been replaced, the fault occurs
What's more, I noticed that if I press the Home Key, and then put my finger in the bottom right corner and hold it, I can still use the whole LCD space without the flickering (I need to press the Home Key first so that it works after I hold my finger in the corner)
It's like the LCD needs to be in contact with your finger all the time to avoid that, which has led me to an idea: would a tempered glass solve that maybe?

I can't really answer for sure but i believe if there's a Huawei service center in your city and you try to fix ur broken huawei, your wasting your time. Whatever solution u apply on ur phone its just gonna be temporary since u hide your problem and not solved it.

I still think (or should I say believe ) that there's a solution which doesn't involve another screen replacement
As for your "temporary solution" mention, I guess if I found one, it wouldn't be temporary, since the fault doesn't progress, it's been the same for a month or so when it first occured, which gives me another reason not to replace the screen and keep looking for other possibilities
I don't need a Huawei service center, I can replace the LCD myself (didn't do that the first time though), but it still involves spending money, whereas I've been looking for unpaid solutions the whole time; getting a new LCD is an extremity

You can ask them to diagnose it and tell you about problem noone makes you pay for a lcd. And after reading your message over and over (And since i repair TVs and everything with electronics inside) i think it also can be your touch or display controller ic. Mostly it could be from touch ic since screen works fine while its in touch with something. But someone has to try your lcd or mb on a healthy one to make sure. which you can't do nothing like that. or do you?
@fengels did You bought original lcd, where can I buy it in good price?
I know this problem from older galaxy series like s5. The fix for this most of the time was disable auto brightness or higher the brightness on auto brightness. Don't know if this is the same problem, but it could be a try. Also don't know which cause this strange problem. Hope it can help you

No, it's a different problem, in the galaxy series the whole screen would flicker, whereas in my P10 it's only 2 horizontal stripes appearing in a 4-5 sec sequence whenever I leave the screen untouched for longer than 5sec
Playing around with the brightness doesn't solve that unfortunately, actually no in-device settings do, as I've tried almost every single option which is screen-related, like switching the eye comfort mode on, but still no result
The main reason why I'm still looking for an unpaid solution is that apart from this one error, the phone is like brand new, everything works fine
ok, so if I understad the problem shows up after you replaced the LCD display? So do you really think is more software related than hardware? I personally would send it to diagnose and repair.

The thing is it didn't show up immediately, I had used the phone for some time with no errors before it first occured
Also, since the new LCD was set, I haven't done any physical damage to it, I've never dropped or sunk the phone
Since you guys mostly advise me to send it, I guess that's what I will have to do

While you were replacing screen, did you turn your device off and disconnect the battery? and i think cleaning all cables coming from LCD and related sockets on motherboard can help. Use thinner or alcohol and if you wanna use thinner be careful so it wouldn't touch anything except golden contacts. Thinner is dangerous and affects ur phone color and plastic parts.

I did turn the device off, but I didn't take the battery off, since it's strongly glued to the phone's body, and I didn't want to damage it
Anyway, could not taking the battery off really be the reason?
As for cleaning, I did it by simply blowing out all the potential dirt, I'm inexperienced in thinner and alcohol cleaning

I am not sure butbon some phones it damages screen. I've seen this on laptops. But anyways its done. Open ur phone and use alcohol. put 2 drops of alcohol on each socket and flat cable connectors and brush it with a soft brush. u don't want to bent any golden contact. It's last thing u can do to fix it without paying for hardware related stuff.
