[Q] Won't turn on

Hey guys
I have a mate whose SGS i9000T will no longer turn on, it is about 5 months old, battery is fine and just died while the screen was off, was not even being used. The last app used was browser. Can't get into Recovery or download modes and the backlight doesn't even register while the AC is plugged in.
Any suggestions would be great or is this a hardware fault? which too me it sounds like

Theirs two possible reasons for this bud....1, custom firmware incorrectly flashed. 2, hardware. I had the same problem and I had to send mine off to Samsung, if you blame the damage on Kies, say after the update it wouldn't turn on they will fix it for free.

Cheers for the reply,
The only things applied were a lag fix that was weeks ago though so i doubt that is the problem, sounds like hardware problem then

No custom kernel or anything? And it just died? Does he tend to drop his phone a lot?

In that case I'd put it down to hardware bud! Are you in the UK? as we have dozens of Samsung service centres, just blame it on Kies if I were you, say after the update it wouldn't turn back on, and they'll fix it for nothing bud

[Q] Keyboard open "click" disappearing

You know that really nice solid click the screen makes when you open the keyboard? Well, I'm on my third Droid 3 now, and every single one, after two weeks, the sound gets quieter and quiter, until it's complete mush upon opening the keyboard. My friend has had his Droid 3 for about the same time, and doesn't have this issue. Has anyone else had it? Does anyone know of a possible fix somehow? I know it's silly, but I'm picky haha!

I have not had any problems with mine, maybe u push it up to hard.

Perhaps, but I really don't think I was hard on it at all. :/

Well at least Verizon keeps giving you new ones.

Ha! Well, breaking in new shoes is supposed to make the experience better, not worse.

You made me curious, so I just tried this and it clicked fine for me...
Been using it quite a lot the last month too!

[Q] Random Reboots

Is anyone else experiencing random reboots at least once a day? I notice that mine has once in a while averaging maybe one a day. Random times.
At least unlike my old Captivate, it reboots and not just shut off.

I get too, I noticed it's from some app's.

What is waterbeer?

I also get random reboots and have had bootloop twice as well on stock. I agree certain apps do it to me it was apps that have t do with playing movies nd videos for me

I have random reboots when I am not using the phone. Its on the home screen and then I notice it has rebooted itself. Really annoying.

Same here. I will be sitting there, and all of a sudden, the LG logo shows up and reboots. I went over to the LG forum and stated it there. May not be a bad idea for others to do the same thing so that they realize it is a widespread problem.
Here's the link: http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carriers/at-and-t/topics/random-reboots-on-the-lg-thrill#35919

Mine has had one random reboot, but that's it.

Out of curiosity, is everyone using the stock battery? Or do you use an aftermarket one?
I use both, but it seems to do it with both.

Has any one linked the software version to the problem? Either 10A or 10E?

I'm on 10E
It also seems to be an issue on the Optimus 3D and was on the G2X

I am on my second Thrill (that just sounds funny to me) and I have not had the reboot issue with either of them. The first phone had serious GPS issues and was running V10e. The second device has worked perfectly so far, even GPS, and is curiously on V10d. I tried the LG software, and the on device, update and it states I am currently up to date.
I was not aware there even was a V10d version. The full version number is LGP925-V10d-JUL-20-2011.
I don't know if there is any relation to the software version and random reboots. My original V10e device did not experience this issue. I am thinking it must be a combination of software and settings, or truly defective devices. It is entirely possible that it could be related to software syncing (i.e. email, contacts, etc.) or wireless AP causing some sort of memory leak.
Has anyone noticed any heat issues when their device is rebooting?

i have Thrill "not for sale" , not reboot

has anyone ever come up with a solution to fix this problem with the random reboots. I have yet to flash any of the custom roms. due to the fact that i dont know if that will fix this issue. Any info would b greatly appreciated because i really enjoy this device.

New MIUI User with Questions

Just installed MIUI-20120608 on my Bionic, switching from GummyNex 1.2. I like it so far but I THINK I need a little schooling on how to set it up.
First, the reason I switched in case it matters, I loved GummyNex but the video recorder never worked, I guess it is an option that they never got to work from what I read, I can't seem to get it to work on the MIUI rom either although I want to believe it will since it seems to recognize it has a video recorder.
Secondly, I am having some issues getting the data to work, I saw online that there are some steps to go through to get it to work (go to phone info>switch to GSM only; go to setting>mobile networks>CMDA/LTE....) which works but everytime my phone reboots I have to repeat the process. There has to be a way to set it up once and thats it.
Thirdly, there are a LOT of flexibility with this ROM, AWESOME. But I don't know where to start, what all the options mean to me. Instead of trial and error I am hoping some of the experienced users could share some of the best "setups" with me?
Thanks guys!

.... Miui? Where did you find that rom? Every Dev related to Miui stopped working on that ROM sadly which means its out of date now. Unless I'm out of the loop on Miui LOL.

You can use it. Just there will be no one to answer your questions. So your back to trial and error.

Cm10

Hey there. New to the one and was wondering if there were any cm10 roms that can be flashed with s-on
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

As far as I understand it, any ROM can be flashed s-on without issue on the One (caveat below). It's different than the 3D. But the revone method of s-off is super easy so it's worth doing (see my web signature for a link). Also, from my understanding, some people have bricked their Ones trying to flash AOSP ROMs. I think s-off people have better luck with it.

Hearing the word brick doesn't make it seem worth it. Thanks man. That being said, which roms seem to be the most stable for the sprint one?

The Sense ones. I use the Team 420 one, but I'm biased. The Team D3rp one is really good too. I haven't tried any others though so try others and find your favorite.

The Two That I know of and have done my self are Viper and cyanogenmod. I have not take the step to s off yet as I am very new to this and am learning before I do just as you described (Brick my phone). You can easily find these two ROMs here on this site.
ViperROM v1.1.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241016
CyangenMod
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=m7spr
and that is where I got the ones I used as well.
It does matter which carrier you have as I made that mistake and was in bootloop which you dont want to do.
For information on that see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353956

FWIW I was one of the people who got bricked, and I and some others helped to compile a list of victims. The last brick was on 6/29 after which the kernel was really overhauled.
Most (including me) are calling the bug squashed.

Bricking a phone would def suck! but i was under the impression, and maybe im wrong, that there is usually a way to fix it. Again im no pro but i kind of jumped into the whole rooting thing without knowing ANYTHING about it on my 3D and never seemed to mess it up more than having to flash a new RUU at worst. anyway i really love the IllusionRom. but cant seem to get google wallet to work, which is kind of a bummer. but i also really love Sense 5, and dont mind using stock one bit. I suggest going for it and checking everything out, more than likely you'll be fine. best of luck

A brick can never be recovered. It must be replaced. A BORK can pretty much always be fixed via ADB.
Also, I heard there was a workaround for the wallet issue. Just search it up. It has something to do with the build . prop.

Or if not ADB, judicious use of fastboot and RUU. I cut my teeth on a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, and after a three-month long recovery process, nothing the HTC One can pull is likely to faze me anymore.
Anyway, there are certain devices that can be recovered from a low-level brick (assuming by brick we're saying a device is completely non-responsive to input, hardware and software wise) but it's pretty involved at the best of times.
