Dim or dead home button... - LG Thrill 4G

Hey guys so. My thrill dropped in value even more the other day when i turned my screen on. And all of a sudden realized that led for the capacitive home button has either blown or severely dimmed. I have never heard of this happening on any device. And it is kinda ugly to look at. I have tried reboots, roms, LG hidden menu... everything to try to get it back. All to no avail. Then i decided it would be far more pleasant to look upon if all the led's were dead. So i apart from taking my phone apart and shorting them out i have tried everything to achieve this goal. Still failure was my result.
My questions to you, the community, is:
1 has this ever happened to you?
2 does anyone no a way of disabling them with a script or mod?
Thanks

do you have the option to leave them on all the time?
if you do leave them on for at least 30 minutes
that in my opinion should reheat the light and just maybe have a working light again.

but I saw it once, but I can't remember which? sorry

That is the way Samsung controls the LEDs for the capacitive buttons on GB and ICS.
When I had the Thrill I used this app to keep the lights on with the screen. If I recall correct there was a way to have them always off. But I'm not sure.

So... woke up this morning and the home button is now brighter than it has been. But its still a bit more dim then the rest... strange...

isn't the phone covered under warranty?
it is less than a year old right?

Like a fool.. i didn't get the warranty package.
Doesn't matter any way. I scratched the speaker out to make it look silver. Lol

yeah, I wanted to do the same thing to the speaker but was too afraid to press too hard or go over and scratch the screen.
Well I think this phone is great even thou my daily is the galaxy skyrocket, but I like it so much that I bought my daughter a Thrill from craigslist for $150 unlocked, I thought it was a very good deal

How to stop startup vibration?

How to stop startup vibration? I detest this feature very much! help!
Im sorry to report I can't really help you with this as im no real genius on the matter but im guessing it may be due to some sort of P.O.S.T response on the device similar to the beep you here on some older pc's and laptop's. If so it may be easier for someone to find the right registry entry to change. Then again I may be talking out of my backside. Good Luck!

Are you talking about vibrate on connection ?
Start> phone> menu>options> advanced> uncheck vibrate device when connection is established.
He's talking about when you turn the device on..
I think he's talking about the vibrate when the phone boots (from a soft or hard reset, or from turning the phone completely off)
why so bother about that vibration?
What's it matter...? He still wants to turn it off....
I'd like to as well..
I means how to stop power-on vibration or hard or soft startup vibration. anyone has already stop the vibration, it's really boring!
i would actually be interested in that as well, i have my phone setup to automatically reset itself every day at 3 in the morning, and the vibration from the reset sometimes wakes me up.
yea, i dun like the vibration either.. But i doesnt make a very big deal though
My phone feels shaking , something loose from vibrating effect.

It is decreasing the battery life time , maybe not much for 1 boot.. but if you boot 20 times in a day.. ( god may know why ) Than it would be handy

the vibrating sure isnt helping the battery life either and i would like to disable this also. 10+ resets a day here and each time it vibrates my wife thinks someone is texting me! lol
Additionally, can anyone help get rid of those red numbers during boot-up?
I know that's an obnoxiously complex task that may be impossible for seemingly little payoff, but consider:
1. They prevent using the entire display for splash images, unless you want it covered up for part of the time,
2. My friend is color-blind, and won't be able to tell if they're red, green, or purple - I don't want him to not be sure,
3. They could attract a bull, if you waved it around accidentally in Madrid,
Etc.
I'm sure you can tell there are no shortage of reasons.
Anyone have any ideas?

HTC Hero CDMA Backlight

Has anyone ever had any issues with the backlight on the Hero?
Lately, sometimes, when I turn my phone on or something, it's as if there is no screen at all. It stays black, eventhough I know that the OS is running. I've even tried rebooting, taking out the battery, etc... I can tell it's booting normally because it does the little vibrate, and then vibrates once the OS is fully loaded, etc... cept, when this is occuring, I cannot see anyting on the screen. If I tilt it just right, I can JUST BARELY see the outline of a window or something (whatever is up on the screen at that time). Then after dealing with this issue for a couple of minutes, and rebooting a few times, it works itself out.
I'm thinking I'm starting to have some type of hardware failure, but really don't want that, because I'm due to upgrade to the EVO here in about a month and don't want a stupid replacement just so I can go buy a new phone a month later, ya know? Anyway, wondered if anyone has had the issue before and what, if anything, they may know to do to fix it.
Thanks guys!
Yes I get the same issue off and on. I think it has to do with CM6 and the brightness settings. Not sure though.
For some reason when I flash CM6 it sets the Automatically Adjust Backlight setting to be off. I figured it was just the nature of the rom, so everytime I flash a new one, I go and turn it on in Display settings.

No man, I'm saying, even when I first turn on my phone, I dont even see the white HTC screen. It's completely black, but vibrates like normal when I press the power button to initially turn it on. It's fukd I'm pretty sure. I can't see a thing on it, not even in recovery. It's completely black, but vibrates at the correct times it should vibrate (when I first press power button to turn on, when the rom initially boots up, etc...)
I'm thinking my hero is dead....
I only had a little less than a month to go before I could get an EVO too.... damn phone.
Have you done any damage to it? Sprint might replace it for free.

Nope, I didn't do anything to it... unfortunately, I'm stuck with CM6 installed on it, because I can't see it to be able to switch back to the stock ruu... LoL
so I hope they don't notice and then say, well, too bad, u'r screwed because u rooted u'r phone. But no, my phone is still immaculate except the 'End' key is chipping off (the paint). That's about it
I'm hoping maybe they'll let me just upgrade to the EVO since I'm due in about a month anyway. I doubt it, but even if they give me a replacement (a new one) then I'd be okay with that.
Welp, they ended up replacing my phone with a replacement (refurbed) Hero... I pretty sure this one is 99% new though, not a single problem aesthetically and it seems to be running froyo quite smoothly. It basically feels like a brand new phone (which according to Sprint Reps, there's an 80% chance of getting a new replacement and 20% chance of getting a used replacement). I'm thinking I'm in the 80% range
Very happy thus far... just my touch screen is a little quirky right now b/c I installed a clear screen protector and believe some of the moisture is interfering with touches... which has been getting better as the hours go on. So that's' good!
Thanks guys on the info.... It's just fine for getting me through until Sept. 15th so I can upgrade meself on the EVO!!!!
We shall see if it holds up until then
Take ya'lls and thanks for all the replies
You should get the epic instead. Lol

[Q] So upset, just bricked my 2 day old P1010.

Hey guys,
I'm really starting to think that my Tab is well and truly uber bricked. I tried (stupidly) to update it to gingerbread stock forgetting the flooping fact that the P1010 differs hugely to the P1000.
It was so weird, I got no error messages from Odin everything looked like it was going well, until I tried to get the device into download mode again. It won't turn on, I can't access recovery or download mode. It does try to come on when doing button combos but just shows a black/blank screen and turns off again as soon as power button is released. No icons or logos.
Another thing is that when off it flashes the creen every 10-15 seconds. Not sure what to try as battery will be running low by now and scared to let it go flat.
Anybody else got this, I feel like a right twat, don't even wanna know how much samsung will charge for repairing this.
If anyone has any more button combos to try please feel free to tell. I'm pretty deperate.
Josh at MobileTechVideos has helped me out when in similar circumstances.

Actually, that's the call...just return it and play dumb.

I disagree with that advice. I hate dishonest people.
Just tell them the truth and see if theyvreplace it. What's the worst that can happen? They don't send you a new one. You won't be any worse off than you are now. Its worth a try.

the best drama ever you can do
1- go and do not smile , chicken ..
2- be shocked all the time during you are talking and blame them
3- say , how come i sleep than i woke take out my tab from the charger i couldn't turn it on . is this can happen because of the ELEC ? ? Act like stupid ,
they will ask you did you try to update it via kies , say how i update ? ? ? after u say this , trust me , you'll get your tab in 3-5 work days
Wow, lots of dishonest people here. Use the de-bricking service, pay for YOUR mistakes, and chalk it up to a valuable lesson to read and pay attention to what you're doing in the future.
Just something i did when i thought my tab was bricked. I turned it on even though it wouldnt show anything on the screen. I then let the battery drain, next day I plugged it in and pwered it on, it worked.... is there any type of mode that you can get into?

This is what I'm saying. Contact the guy from above and see if he can help you. You may pay for it, but some mistakes cost you money. If that doesn't work for you, then you're out $350 because of a mistake you made. If paying $350 for a mistake you made is the worse you end up paying in line, you're better off than most.

you didn't 'forget'... you didn't know. just nitpicking
I also support the return-it route. once it's back at samsung they can easily re-flash it to their proper software and sell it as a refurb.
I made your mistake today and I got the errors you've gotten ..
what did you do with your device , have you find a solution for it ?
I did this years back on the very first phone I flashed, a Sony 750i which I was trying to flash to 800i software. It usually would have worked as its same hardware but unfortunatley for me they had recently changed bootloader or something that made mine incompatible.
Since it was only a couple of days old from Orange shop I simply took it back to shop and played dumb, said I left it charging over night and now all I get is a white screen. At first they wanted to sent it off for repair and I kicked off because I didnt want to pay all that money for a faulty/repaired product, I kicked up a bit of stink in front of other potential customers and manager decided to give me full replacement.
Now I know that isnt honest but I meh I dont give a sh1t, Its not as if they would have had to pay for it, it would have simply got back to manufacturer.
If you have a new device and dont want to shell out a load of money or wait weeks/months just take it back and play dumb and if they refuse ask to speak to manager and kick off.
I PM'd you the details mate.
Same mistake here
Hi!
I know this is an old post, but this just happened to me today.
Just like you, i flashed a P1000 ROM to my P1010 galaxy tab.
The process went perfectly with no errors nor warnings in ODIN. When it tried to reboot, a black screen came up. The symptoms are the same you had. Black screen, no image of any kind, no possibility to put it in download nor recovery mode.
When i press the power button for about 5 seconds, backlight coms up, but still a black screen. When i let the power button go, the backlight goes out and the screen keeps black.
Could you please tell me how you solved this?
Thank you VERY much!

Try the same thing (Power +Volume down 5 seconds), but plug your tab to your PC before doing it and see if ODIN can pick it up. If odin can pick up your tab, flash the right ROM.
I think if black screen and then buttons lights up briefly when you touch, you somehow need to force it down first.
Try holding power button for at least 10 seconds to bring it down completely.
when it then doesn't response to touch, then do what yappoe said.
Hope your battery hasn't been drained by now.
I already tried both of the solutions you propose. I really appreciate that.
The screen keeps black, but the lights of the buttons doesn't turn on. Not even briefly.
I followed a guide that says i should tape the power button to keep the backlight on the entire night until the battery drains, so i can get out from an infinite loop. Then to plug the tab in the wall charger and the battery logo shoud appear. Then try to turn it on in download mode.
I did all that. Battery drained out, but at the moment of plugging the tab at the wall, it does not show the battery indicator. Screen is still black. No backlight, no nothing.
Do you think a JIG could work? any other ideas? it's kind of dead!
Sorry for my english and thanks again.
I don't know.. but you should assume it is still charging. Leave it for more than 4hr charging then try yappoe suggestion.
If all fails, then repair.
Next time only flash rom made for your device...

Xperia Z not vibrating issue

Can this be fixed with an update?
I'm planning to switch my S3 for a white model that doesn't vibrate no matter what. And he/she isn't the only one with a non vibrating XZ.
Also how does the screen compare to S3 bar viewing angles.
Exynos S III @ 1.2GHz, CM10.1

Never heard of that issue, at least I don't have.
As for the viewing angle, there are plenty of reviews and videos out there which are self explanatory.
Not vibrating issues? Elaborate... Was it like that out of the box, did it work at some point and now it doesn't? Give us some more info than just saying "not vibrating".
If it didn't function out of the box, return it.
If you've rooted it, and flashed a ROM, and it doesn't work, go back to where u came from.
In case it doesn't work after that, yer outta luck. Luckily I never had to go to a repair process.
Screen subpar compared to others? That was highlighted in many reviews before the phone was on the market, so if you did not pay attention to reviews, that is yer own fault.
Plus you had time to return it after the initial purchase.... Assuming that it was purchased in a normal fashion.
And please. Not specifying an issue does not actually help. It adds to the general confusion.
Is like stating that the volume on yer tv doesn't work, without stating how, and since when it happened. Could be a "person in chair" symptom as we perceive it in the IT world....

Device is pure stock, never modified. C6603 model no vibrating. Seller claims since day 1 after a few hours (it did vibrate initially). I've seen a couple of threads on xda with same issue to no avail.
Don't know what over info to provide. It's not my phone, I'm planning to buy
@23Six
Do you have Stamina Mode on in your C6603? Try switching off, restarting phone. Also, through service menu, does the vibration work?
I'm afraid of asking the seller to do these things, fixing the phone and potentially losing out one one hell of a deal!
I'm buying the phone online. Local pickup.
Mate it is a hardware issue.. I faced this since when i opened the box. Dont waste time and ask Sony/Seller for replacement. I have already sent mine..

Is it normal that the vibration intensity rises when you press the touchscreen repeatedly ? I mean if I dial a phone number very quick, or just press one number on the dialpad I can hear the vibrator going faster, is this normal?

I had similar but then realised I was being rather stupid (although you could argue the design is somewhat stupid...). Basically, when you turn the volume down all the way, there's 2 modes. If you go one click past zero volume with the rocker on the side of the phone, the phone should vibrate to let you know it's in silent and vibrate mode. However, if you click the volume down again, it shuts off all sound AND vibrations. So what I was doing is just mashing down on the volume down button and not realising I was shutting off vibrate.
Guess I'll just have to send the phone in for repair. I'll hold for now because I'm in live with this phone.
I got for an S3 trade + £0.00 !

Device Will Not Turn On, Hard Reset Not Working, No Lights Working (LED & Soft)

Hey Guys,
I apologise for the long Title but I coudlnt figure out a better way to to title the thread...
anyways I went to bed and plugged in my phone as per usual with an alarm set for 1230pm. come 1230pm, alarm goes off, i snooze it until 1pm. The next time it goes off, the alarm sounds for about a split second and then its off - I didnt turn it off.
So obviously i am a bit concerned since this has never happened before. I check the device and its off. Mind you this entire time the phone is plugged into the wallcharger from HTC.
I think its a random reboot (which i have never had before) and try to reboot the phone - nothing happens.
I try the hard reboot - nothing
The lights, both soft keys and LED for power will not even turn on or respond. Plugging it into a computer, it isnt recognized. Its as if the device is just dead. The power was at 100% too.
I would like to add that it is currently plugged in. I am hoping it simply, inexplicably lost power (happened on my Xperia T) and i have to give it some long-term juice. It does get a bit warm while plugged in right now.
it was running CM10.1 nightly 5-20.
does anyone have any insight or advice for this?

This is the 3rd incident that I know of a phone dieing. Mine was one, then there was another, and now you. All running CM 10.1. When Mine died I was transferring files via usb with the computer so I figured something fried in there (weird but the only explanation at the time). I came here for help too. That phone is long gone at this point. The thing is that I was told it's very very hard to brick a phone like that with S-on.
I don't know. I do love CM but i'll be waiting for a stable build before I go back again. GL to you. I had it it returned under the pretense that it was a hardware failure.The other guy who's phone also bricked said that there is some sort of issue with the batteries or something. I haven't confirmed that with anyone.

You can try to scan the cm 10.1 forum. they are pretty unforgiving if you brick your phone. Try to get a logcat to them so they can take a look at it (sarcasm). They completely ignored my post (I had the alpha when it crashed and burned). He the other guy also posted there and they did go back and forth for a few post, but they squashed it pretty quickly. I haven't checked any of the AOSP forums, so it may not be CM 10.1 at all. It could very well be hardware issues. Either way, with S-off its very hard to do something like this and I'm really more convinced its hardware. But unless it can be confirmed that AOSP didn't cause the issue, then i'll hang on to my doubts and wait for something more stable. I give maybe a month or 2.

custom kernals running sense based roms and a launcher should tide me over till then. With desense version coming out and s-off soon, it should make AOSP roms more solid.

You can try to scan the cm 10.1 forum. they are pretty unforgiving if you brick your phone. Try to get a logcat to them so they can take a look at it (sarcasm). They completely ignored my post (I had the alpha when it crashed and burned). He the other guy also posted there and they did go back and forth for a few post, but they squashed it pretty quickly. I haven't checked any of the AOSP forums, so it may not be CM 10.1 at all. It could very well be hardware issues. Either way, with S-off its very hard to do something like this and I'm really more convinced its hardware. But unless it can be confirmed that AOSP didn't cause the issue, then i'll hang on to my doubts and wait for something more stable. I give maybe a month or 2.

Thanks, I am dead certain its hardware related myself. I am going to leave this plugged in, maybe it really needs to get properly charged (its happened to me with my old Xperia T where it went into deeeeeep sleep due to power loss), so i will be keeping it plugged in until Monday and then taking it Rogers, thankfully i bought a warranty for just this sort of crap happening.

after you let it charge for a few hours unplug it put it under a bright light and hold power+volume down and see if it boots to bootloader. i know a few people have had this issue and the phone came back on. all said there was no charging led and wouldnt do anything

people are thinking that its a built in safety against accidental button presses in a pocket or bag. i dont know if thats true but people have said it works

well when I had mine I tried leaving it plugged in for a day, but I didn't put it under bright light. I didn't notice a fast discharge with mine either. It was plugged into the usb port to my computer and I was transferring files. I could have missed it though, I mean I was around 90% at the time and wasn't too worried about the charge.

I want to take it in to Rogers tomorrow see what they say.
My first one had the same problem I only had it for 6 days it was rooted and it wouldn't come on at all so I took it to at&t and they gave me a new one... Hope it doesn't happen again with this new one...

Any update on this ? The thread title explains my phone completely. It just simply died and won't accept a charge. 100 percent unresponsive in every aspect.

I'd try all the tips first. especially the bright light trick. Other than that it's off to your carrier or HTC for repair/exchange

OP here...
I have a new one in the mail for a swap...I have had no luck whatsoever with any tricks.
...and they sent me a device with a scratched up screen :/
does anyone know if a similar issue to mine was fixed? either on XDA or somewhere else? i really just want to get back to my own One
I had this happen to mine. No fix I've seen works, they just replaced mine with new one. If they sent you scratched replacement all I can say is complain and demand another one.

So you guys have cm10.1 installed when it happened? just want to confirm it occurs only with phones with cm10 installed, and not with Stock rooted sense! I don't want to end up like this, so I'll avoid cm roms for now, I'll stick with Sense only, and If the problem occured with Stock rooted sense, I will not even root my phone
Can you guys confirm this?
Thanks in advance,
cheers
