Thanks to my recent stupidity I just had the idea to make a thread that we might share some of our ridiculously stupid mistakes that we later found out could have been solved by simply thinking things through.
Hopefully this'll help new owners of the phone avoid our mistakes.
My mistake just happened 10 minutes ago, and I'm rather annoyed it happened... oh well... another 4 hours of setting up my Kaiser won't kill me...
Anyway, I refuse to carry my Kaiser with me until it is properly protected in its case, so it's just been sitting here around the house while I tamper with it and wait for my case to get here. Consequently, I'm using 2 phones, and I swap the sim card between them.
I turned on my Kaiser and got scared pantsless. It would only stay on for a few seconds, and then turn off. Of course it scared the heck out of me... the phone is only 4 days old. So after soft resetting failed, I resorted to the hard reset... well, apparently something got turned off when I flashed dutty's rom to the phone, and the little screen that reminds you about the sim door being unlocked doesn't come up.
So it turns out my phone was turning off just because the sim door wasn't locked... and now I have the task of installing and re-configuring everything I had on the Kaiser... which I'm about to start now. 4 hours of repeating history here I come!
My buddy threw up all over mine at a party.. luckily it cleaned up nicely!
So the dumbest thing i've done with it, is leave it somewhere other than my pocket? lol
Believing the hype !!! and getting one. Well maybe. Because this is one "son of a ***** " phone to get working
Bought one. No video drivers FTL.
Besides that....nothing really. just being clueless on how to flash a ROM I guess even though I want to return it because of video drivers!! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO....
Dropped mine (and did not notice) while running across a busy street in downtown Calgary.
It was consequently run over by at least 1 car! I lost the back case, the battery was all banged up, and the power button was permanently pushed in, but guess what....it still turned on and I could make calls!!!!
Anyway, with no insurance, I thought I was up a creek with no paddle. AT&T hooked me up with a new one at 1/2 cost. I guess they heard the pain in my voice when I explained what happened.
last week end i made the stupid mistake of making an infinite loop on my today screen.
i was messing around trying to find a way to hide the VitoFindMe text at the bottom of my today screen, and since SPB Pocket plus (for some reason) didn't hold the plugin, i tried PocketBreeze, it put it in and it worked. so i put PocketPlus as a tab in it also just to get it to how i like, but it didnt allow me to put a personal tab as the default and i didnt need all of the extras, so i turned it off and put SPB back on the today. I decided to try one more time to put FindMe in SPB before i gave up, but i accidentally put PocketBreeze in it, and since PocketBreeze had SPB in it, it basically looped, froze and stopped on trying to boot when reset... so now i had to hard reset and i had to go through the task of putting all of my programs and stuff back on!
Yey what fun.
I bricked mine

how?!?!
RLoD very simple
I picked it up to check if SK Tools had finished cleaning ....................
while making whoopie with the ole' lady. Yeah, I got slapped upside the head with my Tilt & no more nookie for 2-weeks.
& boy, does she hate Lori now. (That's my Tilt name because I like the slightly *****y tone of Lori TomTom's voice)
Pwnt !
I accidentally locked my SIM card tryin to set up my keypad lock everytime u take the phone out of sleep mode. I was scared ****less. I could barley even hold the stylus in my hand to try and fix. basically, i had to log in to my wireless account on at&t, found my PUK code and everything was straight after that.
When I first got my Tilt, I kept it plugged in, since I have heard you should fully charge when you first get it. Well, I went to sync it, and it simply would not sync at all. I unplugged it, and replugged it. Still nothing. I checked all cables. Everything was properly hooked up on PC and ppc.
I was so mad, because it just would not work. So, I called ATT tech support. They made me soft reset, hard reset etc.
Finally they said, phone must be broken, they would exchange it for me. While I was waiting for her to do the exchange request (or whatever you call it), I just happened to notice that I had it plugged into the WALL charger, NOT the usb on computer (both cables were sitting right next to each other).
OMG, I felt so dumb, I hung up on AT&T, and had quite a chuckle at my stupidity
hmm, the dumbest thing I done that has to do with my kaiser?
I bought it!

At first I thought the dumb thing was refusing to carry your phone without a case.
Dumbest thing I did was using it while walking fast inside best buy. I dropped it and happend to land on the toe of my shoes while I happen to take a step. I kicked it about 30-40 feet accross the floor. The phone, battery, and the cover all went 3 directions. Luckily the floor was carpet. No scratches on the phone, reboot still works fine. I WAS PISSED.
People keep saying buying it is the dumbest thing they did but it's not. Keeping it beyond 30 days is the dumbest thing. If you bought it, own it, be proud. If you felt that buying the tilt is the worst mistake you've ever made, you should have returned it within the return period. There are other people from CDMA carriers wish they can get the Tilt.
I gave my phone to my Girl friend for a day (DUMB !!!!)
Now I neednt explain what happens when phones go into women's hands
she dropped it from the 3rd floor in her hostel
luckily I got it replaced (rich girlfriend's dads )

I know what you are talking about.
My dumbest thing was to give the kaiser to my girlfriend to play with it. She loves the bubble breaking game, and now everytime I am with her she is playing the f**king game.
Hi all,
I have noticed the clock on my diamond runs slow. I dont switch the phone off but when I check the time its fallen back by about 3 mins everyday.
Any ideas on how I can rectify this?
Using .07 radio and duttys 1.6
Im having the same problem. Anyone got a solution?
really strange, never noticed before, but I'm currently using a different rom & radio
I have the same problem but it doesn't fall behind as fast, probably 3 mins in a week.
Using Stock 1.93 ROM
Would be great if someone could look into this.
same here....
I have been waiting for an answer for 2 months but no one seems to know how to solve this problem....
... and the same here ...
I have to set my clock every 5 days.
I think it is about 2 to 3 minutes a week.
mine is like 2-3 mins a day...
Same problem with mine: about 2 to 3 minutes a day delay everyday.
I'm using ROM version 1.93.831.1 WWE by the way.
I hope somebody can figure out this bug.
Thanks.
After I set Setting/Phone/Timezone to auto, my clock didn't skip any more. I don't know if it involves data usage though.
Johnny
I tried to tick that also, but it does not work for me...
No problems here on original rom.
maybe there is a serie with a bad crystal inside.
Grtzzz
after midnight..clock is slow
Hello guys....
there's something I notified a few weeks ago, and I saw this thread, so I would like to tell you this...
everytime when it's after midnight for example: 00.20 and then when I turn on the screen with the powerbutton when it's in standby the clock will not move directly to the correct time, but it wil just flip very vast untill the right time....
Does anybody else have this problem to??? I hope somebody understand what I'm trying to say....It's not very frustrating, but at least it's annoying...
thanks guys!!

I have not tried it but will do so when I have time, i.e. when I'm still awake at midnight
Anyway before I go to sleep, I always turned off my unit to conserve the battery. Still the problem persists with regards to time delay of 2 to 3 minutes everyday.

That's what I also do...but still....very strange behaviour and especially if you just want to see before you go to bed, if you havn't missed a call or a text or so..
I don't know how to replicate it, but i've had this happen even at 11am! It doesn't really bother me, though. In fact, i quite like it sometimes! Because of the way it's doing it, I really doubt this is a bug... it must be something done on purpose. Perhaps you can contact HTC about it...

I already asked NisseDILLIGAF about this, and he also doesn't know how this could happen...actually sometimes it's quite funny, although I don't really mind...I was just curious if somebody else had the same issue...lol
tytn clock
have a tytn II and the same issue with me, the clock runs slower than normal time like 2-3 minutes within 4-5 days.

I have the same problem and posted two messages. I couldn't find a solution yet
I think this might be more wide spread that we think but its not getting noticed by people who sync with PC frequently. I have found that If you use active sync it resets the time to the PC time each time you connect!
Still needs sorting though!!
having the same problem. what I didnt like is my Sony Ericsson phone got an option to get the clock from network so dont have to bother about the time. my diamond seems to lag2-3 min a day. I tried the option GPS clock sync but still it's the same.( i use gps quite often)
I was showing a friend my smart phone but, Some where since rooting my phone { no rom added} and adding 2 launchers my Genius button got retarded.... no matter what I tell it like text eric or find gas station it either does nothing or pulls up peep. I can have the speech rate on very slow all the way to very fast it makes no difference. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix the problem?
Ok after a couple of days its back to normal and working fine. I have no clue what happened nor how it fixed its self
Hi everyone!
I've got a question for you all about my Samsung Galaxy + (GT19001) is acting rather weirdly. I'm no native speaker of English and I'm not familiar with the terminology (since I'm a noob and don't really understand computer thingeys) so I'd like the answer of a few experts before I lose my temper and buy a new phone all together.
Here's the thing. A few weeks ago, I got this phone from my father. He's too old for this technology, he didn't understand it. Hence, I took it from him. But... A few hours ago, I dropped it.
yes... I dropped it. The phone looked fine, I booted the system again, I received a connection to the internet and I got a connection with my sim card, so all seemed fine. BUT; later this evening I wanted to find something on the internet and I noticed this rather strange behaviour. I wouldn't say that my phone is in a loop, but this is what happened:
- the touch screen became really anxious and in the half of the time just touching the screen may result in making pictures. (....?)
- If that isn't annoying enough, the phone works just fine, as long as you touch the screen. So, what happens is that the phone makes a lot of pictures and when you let go, the phone returns to the start screen. That doesn't mean that the phone is rebooting, but it means that it returns to the first screen (on the same wall you'd also place your widgets and maps and stuff). This doesn't make any sense. I reasoned that it was due to a bug and I decided to reboot the whole system. Didn't work. Nextly, I can't get any access to Samsung Kies or Samsung Odin because "the server is unavailable 4100".
It's a real nuisance because currently we don't have any internet connection (because the connection from the provider broke down during a storm >>>>), but as you see, I'm still able to connect my laptop via USB to my phone and I can still access the internet. I don't get it.
So, there are two things I'd like to know. What's going on? Is this failure the result of me dropping the phone? And if this isn't the case, how on earth do I fix it?
Thanks for your answers
Well I don't think it's related to dropping your phone because if it were then why all of this is happening now, it should have been happened earlier. Could be because of a malware. A soft reset will do the work.
It seems to be slightly damaged by dropping.
Send it to Samsung service and they will fix it for you.

Basically this should have been posted in the i9001 Q&A here, as there was a BUG in some Roms in i9001 that caused such behavior for which there is a patch, to resolve
sorry my memory is running out: due to age. try asking there for correct response.

Hi,
First of all, Sorry for Bad English, Bear with me.
Long Story, Short!
It keeps happening!
It would turn off, won't reboot
Won't take charging
I will leave it for a while
If I leave it off after when I am tired trying to turn it on, a few hours later It will be WARM like it was being used, Then I would plugin again and THIS TIME IT WOULD TAKE CHARGE and EVEN REBOOT!!
After when I am using it for a while (10-12min) GOES BACK TO POINT 1
I ERASE EVERYTHING, FACTORY RESET IT, and This time.. IT would work for more than 10-12min,
I will install apps, login into the account, and then again... The same thing would start to happen! !
What Really Happen? Day ZERO!
I bought this Red Magic 3 phone 3 months ago and it was working super awesome and everything was great until last week after a 30-40 min gaming session on this phone, I went back to sleep and kept the phone on the table.
The next morning I noticed that the mobile is turned off, I thought Maybe battery drained so I plugged in to charge and continued with my morning routine.
After an hour I noticed that mobile is still not charging I tried plugging in and out multiple times and it didn't start charging, I checked the Data Cable on my MI MAX 2 (that also supports Type C) and Cable and Adapter were working fine.
I immediately realized that SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!
I saw some youtube video and I tried that Vol Key + Power Key thing and that Bios look alike menu opened up, I can see all the reboot, recovery boot, etc option but nothing worked.
So I picked the WIPE DATA option and It worked, Formatted the Phone and IT REBOOTED.
I figured maybe some software issue was causing it.
BUT SINCE THAT DAY it keeps happening!
It would turn off, won't reboot
Won't take charge when I plugin
I will leave it for a while
a few hours later It will be WARM like it was being used, Then I would plug in again and THIS TIME IT WOULD TAKE CHARGE and EVEN REBOOT!!
After when I am using it for a while (10-12min) GOES BACK TO POINT 1
Service Center
They are no help! They don't know what is wrong with it, Even they formatted it in front of me they did the Factory RESET it, I tried using it in Front of them for a while and the SAME THING HAPPENED!
then they installed some updates using some official package.
But still,
IT would work for more than 10-12min,
I will install apps, login in the account
suddenly... The same thing would start happening again!
Their Resolution is :
Motherboard issue and I will have to get the motherboard replaced.
This simply means EVEN THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT and CHANGING EVERYTHING is their SOLUTION!
and they said it won't be covered on the warranty! Because the warranty has been voided BECAUSE THERE IS A SMALL CHIP on the phone! -_- which happens to be 40-50 days old.
I know is their Excuse to get money from me! Now I don't know what to do with it.
For me it was my first expensive mobile. I never bought a mobile for more than 200$.
Same thing for me.

What's your battery health at, voltage, and how many ma draw when just sitting in that app.
I've learned my lesson with this company. A couple of extra capacitative buttons and a large battery are not a reason to buy a phone. The build quality is ok, the software abysmal (I still get random **** getting pressed when I unlock the phone), and support horrendous. Do yourself a favor, threaten to speak with the governing authority in your country regarding warranties. Tell them a small crack on the screen is not indicative of internal damage. Tell them you will post a youtube review of the company and phone if they do not abide by their warranty and fix your phone.
Once you fix your phone, sell it and cut your losses.
When will people learn YouTube won't do anything. You need subscribers to have any kind of weight. I'm at 2.4m lol.
I don't know the warranty laws in your country. I know here they have to prove that what you did was the cause. Nubia is really shady and not only scams but will flat out lie all the time. I seen people had bad battery's and they say they need a replacement board.
Just let me know what I asked and we can start going in a little deeper. Start off with the basics then move into some other stuff. Could be a simple easy fix.
Some off topic posts are removed. Please remember our rules and post constructive content. Thank you.
Any update?
I'm curious to see if this is a battery issue or something else

Ok I attempted to help you trouble shoot this issue and get it fixed but it's pretty clear this is an uphill battle and a waste of my time.

I got the Battery Replaced thinking it was the issue but right after the installation. I turned it on to use it and it didn't work... I am still facing the same issue.. Meaning Battery was fine.. there is something else that causing it to turn off like this..!
Still, it acts like in COMA, then it heats up, I will charge it, It will boot.. If I will try using it ..it will turn off and won't turn back on!

Well.. I got the battery replaced and it was a waste of another 2,000INR. Still Facing the same issue. This means this Turning Off issue is not caused by the Battery.. It is due to something else..! :crying:
