I cannot answer my phone!!!

Ok so not sure what the heck i did but I cannot answer my phone.
It is rooted, and does not have ICS, pretty standard goods.
About 2 days ago i turned on the phone and lots of my on screen apps were gone from the screen, still on the phone but just gone from the scrolling screens.
Phone rings yesterday and i hear it, but the caller ID never pops up and I cannot answer the phone, no option to do so what so ever.
I press the phone icon and it just shows the keypad and again no option to answer the phone.
Something else i noticed is the swipe down options are gone as well. GPS, DATA, etc, it does not even swipe down at all.
Entertaining suggestions
The weekend is here and I REALLY need my phone lol
Cheers

I tried that before and nothing, i think it may be the rom i have installed.
Sometimes it will just crash and reboot too.
I guess I should go back to the stock rom maybe, but i did a titanium backup before but it did not backup and i lost all of my s memo notes amongst other things.
Grrr
May just donate it to the concrete.

Yeah i have the android guy and it says do not turn off target
(asks if u want to load custom OS) Odin Mode
or if i press volume down and reset phone
i just get the loading screen from whatever firmware i put on there when i first starting adding roms and so on ages ago

bump

ok, what if you try instead of pressing volume down press volume up and clear data and cache? And then again put it in download mode and try to restart? I am not sure I understand what exactly is you problem...

The problem is that whether i do vol up or vol down it still just cycles and never comes out of that mode.
I have gone and did the data wipe and then vol down and it just cycles and never stops. I recall this issue when i installed the rom but it said it may take time but if longer than 5 min take the battery out and reset. I have done this and nothing.
So now, i did vol up again and i get the Android guy and it reads at the top Odin Mode and downloading, do not turn off target. And this just never does anything.
Cant take it to Orange for fix because it has custom firmware and they will tell me to have a nice day, warranty voided.

Is it possible i some how wiped off any rom or old OS from the phone?
I had always been a window person till now, and had an iphone as well so this is my first Android tinkering lesson. #fail
I can get the phone to a screen reading HyperDroid RedPill Recovery but it will not restore anything nor install.
Grrrrr

Does this work on the NON AT&T version, i live in the UK and have a different version

phone vibrates even when switched off! - please help

ok so i got my htc one a couple of days ago and it sees to have a serious problem!
Basically the phone goes through stages of random vibrating every few mins to full on constant vibrating like there is a fan or motor buzzing in there. It even does it if the phone is switched off! Ive just had an episode of it vibrating no stop for 10 mins, didnt make a difference when i switched it off or when i factory reset it!
It seems to overheat or something and only stopped doing it after i had just left it for a while. I have tried to speak with htc about it but they were useless and had no suggestions what soever.
I really need some help here, i bought the phone privately and to all intense purposes it seemed like brand new

SO you CAN NOT exchange the phone?
if not... root your phone and flash different rom that should resolve problem...at least give it a try!

No cant exchange it, only option i might have if i cant get the problem ressolved on here would be to send it to htc for repair but can take up to 2 weeks.
when i got the phone it was still on 4.1 and told me update available to 4.2 so i did that. Thats all i have done , apart from unlocking it from 02 using a code.
its almost like on a computer when its being worked hard etc that you here the fan cut in, thats what it seems like except it sounds like the buzz you get when you first start the phone. sometimes it does this just once every few mins or so, other times it will start doing it and not stop...even when switched off.....everything else on the phone seems to work fine

Did the device get wet at some point? Sounds like a hardware problem if a factory reset didn't solve the problem.
There's a slight chance it could be a real bad app or an issue with the rom. Maybe running a stock RUU for your device if you can find it might help.

Pretty sure it hasent got wet .
Would be happy to put stock Rom back on it but not sure how I go about reflashing it .
Don't know if this normal or not but when I did a factory reset I thought the device would be wiped completely, all my pictures and videos etc however when I set it back up again I found some videos on there still that I had downloaded to the phone off the net.
Maybe it's not wiping itself correctly either?

Resetting the device should wipe everything and bring it to the same condition as new.
Go to settings>>Backup & Reset>>Reset phone>>now check "Erase all data", then tap "OK".
If that doesn't work, try to do a factory reset from the bootloader.

Factory reset will wipe the device but leave the contents of the sdcard untouched which explains why your vids are still there

Appreciate the help guys, thankyou
So, is there any benifit to wiping the device completely over and above what I've done allready?
Today the phone has just done the odd sudden vibration as if you were just booting up, around 5 times in total, nowhere near as bad as last night, don't know why that would be.
Would it be possible to reflash standard firmware?
Is so how would I do it. Phone is completley standard and was in 4.1 prior to the ota update to 4.2, could 4.2 be the problem?

I'd try it. You can back up your pics and music on your PC via HTC Sync first.

Ok so I have tried it but no joy
Still getting the random buzzing/vibration for no apparent reason.
Could it be a bug with the update to 4.2.2?
Can I go back to 4.1?
I'm at my witts end with this now

Don't think it's a bug with 4.2.2 but a hardware issue.
Couple of other things to try ; download "CID Getter" from the play store, run it and find out your device's CID number. Now search on Google or xda for the RUU for your device's CID number. Download the RUU.exe to your pc, connect your phone to the pc and run the RUU.exe. This will bring the phone back to stock 4.1..
Or you can unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Step by step instructions can be found on xda
Sorry, don't know of any easy solutions.

I have just followed a a video on here on how to unlock the bootloader and s-off and root - so now good to go
not sure how i put a new firmware on here now though..going to have to do a bit more reading....
i think to start with ill try downloading standard htc 4.1 rom when i can figure out which one it is and how i put it on and then go from there.

ok so just to update this....
last night i have tried the standard google edition rom on my phone and for the first few hours all seemed fine untill 4am this morning when i was woked by the phone doing its random vibrating thing...it was just sat by the side of my bed on charge
Can only think it must be a hardware issue now...but still dont know what or what is triggering it

You tried everything so it's has to be a hardware issue. Maybe the vibration starts when the device gets warm. Sorry we couldn't fix it.

My HTC one has been doing the same thing. Vibrating randomly even when powered down. Brought it back to Sprint and had them order me a new phone. The only way to stop it from vibrating when powered down was to bang it on a hard surface, then it would stop. Crazy!

Vibrating non stop
My HTC One had been vibrating cotinuously too. I kept slapping the upper part of the phone to stop it from vibrating. However, this worked for the initial few days only. Later, it continued to vibrate continuously without stopping at all ! In the night I left the phone in the other room while it was still vibrating and the next morning the phone wouldn't charge at all! Now the phone is not booting/ charging. It is dead! Any leads?
EDIT: I slapped the upper part again, it suddenly woke up from the dead! It is charging now, the LED is red too!! But it is still continuously vibrating. I have left it to charge as of now, but please help with this vibrating problem. Any ideas?

I've had the same issue with my M7 today.
There were no software updates or any new apps lately.
It all emerged when i was pressing the home button (to exit from some app) and at the same time an incomming call started.
I have tried:
switching it off - did not help
Changing volume setting silent\vibe\sound a couple of times - no effect
Soft reset - no help
Hard reset - no help
Slapping with upper side of the phone against my had - helped for some time, the it started again
Seems like hardware issue.
Currently working solution for me:
Switch off the option "Vibrate on keypress" in Settings ==> Sound & notification
UPD: had to turn off all the vibrations
So far so good. Apparently there is some issue with vibe motor, and it just does not stop. I assume that by disabling that option it is not getting started and thus no constant vibe follows.
UPD 2 Fixed:
Issue reoccurred on hitting the device against my palm.
Had to disassemble it, there are a couple of instructions on youtube, i used plastic cards.
Motor was spinning even with a switched off device. Had to unplug and plug the motor a couple of times and it helped.
Turned on all vibrations in settings, no issues so far.
Hope that helps.

[Q] My lock screen does not work

It happened a couple of months back while I was on Sweet ROM (I forgot the version), I installed the BBM for Android (Official from the Play Store) then it suddenly crashed. When it crashed, it rebooted then I was stuck in Samsung bootloop. I waited a couple of minutes but to no avail, I have to reflash the ROM. When I reflashed Sweet, everything was okay but there was no lock screen. I tried locking it through the power menu but when I press it again, it just opens on the home screen. There's nothing. I tried face recognition, slide, pattern, and password but nothing worked.
Is there any way to fix this?
I've used widgetlocker for months but I'm still looking for the JB lockscreen.

Try the shutdown menu. Are You missing some options also?
For me it looks like Your phone lost imei. Check that too.

Check also the imei if it is correct.
Easiest way is to install a stock (not branded for any mobile network provider) firmware.

Device may be monitored ??

Hi there,
I just noticed that on my Z3+ I have got a warning saying 'network may be monitored'. Once I click that I get "This device is managed by null"
My question is does anyone else have the same warning and if I should be worried ??
Thanks

I got that when I tried repairing my phone through the Sony Companion software. After seeing that, I just performed a normal factory reset and that went away. No clue what it is, but it's not there anymore.

Imagine a thief holding your phone. 'Device may be monitored' is there to make him worried, not you ! Still you can deactivate the protection & then repair to get rid of it. But it's not worth the hassle IMO

Never looked at it that way. That will for sure make him give the phone back or at least try to return it. :good:

I had this on my Z4 Tablet too.
The fix is to factory reset the device and set up the Google account AFTER the initial setup wizard, not during.

I get the same message on my Moto X 2013, whenever I connect to a VPN. I think it's a 5.0 thing.

I've heard it has something to do with myXperia.... I've also heard of factory resets fixing it...

People ... You get this message after installing a custom CA certificate, eg. the one of the company you work for. Do you use WiFi with certificates or VPN? Then you've installed a custom CA certificate.

Just used Sony PC Companion to update to 28.0.A.8.251 and it fixed this and didn't loose any of my settings/data.
I had used My Xperia in the past and but had turned it off before updating.
I don't know if it is fixed in the update, or just the process of updating with my xperia turned off reset whatever was causing it to show.

Screen Dead--any way to backup and wipe via PC?

Just like another user on the forum, I have a dead screen and solid blue LED always on. Is there a way to use ODIN or some other software to access the phone data via computer to backup data and also wipe? Phone is bone stock.
Thanks!!

You can try to use sidesync on the PC to connect to the phone and display it's screen on the pc to control it that way...

That would be awesome but wouldn't I need access to the phone to install sidestep and run it before I could control the phone from my pc?

Hello android geniuses! My cousin has this exact same problem right now, I came here as a last resort looking for a solution.
He broke his screen and lcd while drunk and he has insurance, but is worried about sending the phone in to be fixed/replaced because he has incriminating texts about buying drugs etc on the phone.
Is there a way to factory reset the phone with the screen broken?
My sonly uggestion atm is to reboot into recovery and try to factory reset based upon copying the button presses of a youtube video. He does not have usb debugging enabled and we can't even manage to explore his files through windows.
Thank you if you even read this, I am super grateful for any suggestions
Edit: We factory reset the phone through android device manager. OP, that might be your best bet too mate.
