question: there's a blinking gray triangle outline in my notification bar.. why??
occasionally it will disappear, but it comes back quickly.. it also disappears if I reboot, but comes back quickly again. it wasn't there until I messed up my phone and had to restore it (see list below)
it has been like this for weeks..
I have attached a screenshot - you can see the gray triangle in the notification bar. it blinks on and off.
also, in settings->about phone->network, "Network" says "Unknown". don't see anything else unusual.
I noticed sometimes my text messages will not send, also gps seems to be worse.. not sure if either of these are related.
tried searching, found some stuff saying it's about roaming (but I'm not roaming), also found some stuff that led me to believe I might need a new sim card (can't seem to find those posts anymore though)
here's some history:
accidentally took KitKat OTA while rooted, couldn't boot into rom, recovery, or download mode
followed this guide to fix that issue
restored a backup (rooted stock 12B) from twrp
followed this guide to get back into rom
this is when I noticed the blinking triangle
tried flashing radio.. didn't do anything
noticed IMEI was zero, thought that might be the cause
used this guide, seems to have fixed IMEI but triangle is still there
gave up for a few weeks, now here I am!
edit: the triangle just disappeared for a few minutes. during that time, I could not send text messages or make calls, but data still worked.
a day later and nothing
another thing I noticed: on the lockscreen, it doesn't say "verizon". it's just blank.
I'm going to go completely back to stock as a last resort, but hopefully someone can help me figure this out

Hi,
I am running CM 4.0.4 and it has been working great. For the past week or so i have been experiencing connection dropping. Every now and again, increasingly, i have been getting connection errors.
I am using the market, browsing and downloading some apps or on the web, then all of a sudden, it says connection error. I have tried using the browser and other apps that use the internet, and they time out. I then tried calling a number, it showed the usual grey dialling image, then after a few seconds it goes red and days call ended. it never gets to green.
The really odd thing is that i have full signal and the 3g logo is shown. Also the 3g up arrow flashes white but the down arrow stays grey.
has anyone else been having this problem? is it a software thing that can be fixed by wiping or is it a hardware problem and i need to contact T-Mobile? Also, if i do wipe, is it safe to restore from backup or could the error be in the backup too?
Chris
Is noone having these issues?
reflash the radio, if that doesn't help, make a back up, wipe, reflash rom, and see if that fixed it, if not, wipe, flash another rom entirely, and see, if that doesn't unroot your phone, then see if it does it with stock, if it is still happening with stock call t-mobile
So i have been using the phone fine with no problems in the last 2-3 months but today the phone is behaving very strange. The signal bar now have exclamation mark displaying so i click on it and it says 'no service' and i don't whats wrong with it. I tried soft resetting the phone several times but it still displaying. Solution for this problem is welcome, however i would want to prevent from hard resetting as i have a lot of software installed and i don't want to loose them or else it will take a long time to recover. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Oops posted on the wrong section, sorry
does your contacts open up?
what programs have you ran or installed?
Figured I'd ask this one to the community to see WTF is going on with my phone. Just curious if anyone has witnessed or has any clue to what my phone's issue is. This is a bit long, but needed to show this isn't just some setting issue:
Issue:
- Intermittently connects to Network, when working get both phone and data connections
- Connection lasts anywhere from 1-15 min.
- When data and phone connections are lost, they still appear normal/active in status bar, when view "status" in settings, shows my network connected, Rogers, not roaming, Connected to network state, Service State "In Service, blah blah....
- Sometimes, status bar icons show normal, but status in settings actually shows disconnected or connecting, this happens less often then the case above
One weird Incident:
- Was golfing one day, using GPS Golf app, all of a sudden phone shutoff (never happened before). After a panicky 20min. of pulling the battery, and watching the screen, nothing would happen. Finally, it powered on, and booted as normal. My connection issue seemed to come right after this incident occurred.
Attempts to fix software:
- Full wipe on custom ROM - no change
- flash radio(s) - no change
- flash stock ROM - no change (then root, flash custom ROM...no change)
- WTF????
Sent back to HTC for repairs
- My final option was to send my phone back to HTC. 1 week later, I get my phone back, same phone, flashed by HTC, and locked bootloader. Powered on, made a couple of quick calls, 10min later, issue was back. called HTC back, long story short, told I have to send it back again, and there was no problem found on the service report.
This is where I am at right now, does anyone have any ideas, similar experience? I am going to hold off for a couple of days before sending it off again, i am an electronics technologist myself, and find it hard to believe this could be a h/w issue, but I have no more software/partitions to flash that I haven't tried.
If there is anyone knowledgeable enough reading this, I have the logcat files, from what I can understand of it, when the my calls fail, "CallNotifier: DISCONNECT"..."CallNotifier" Cause: ERROR_UNSPECIFIED". There might be more in the log file that I don't understand.
Hello
My phone was running great on stock 2.3.4 unrooted, locked.
When I tried to use it this afternoon it wouldn't respond so I removed the battery and put it back in.
Now it does boot. But it takes about 2.5mins. And at some point it shows some strange screen noise. After finishing the boot the touchscreen doesn't work at all.I made a Vid but I can't post the link here due to my postcount. I'll send a PM if anybody is interessted.
I can access HBOOT.
Another strange thing is, that the PC recognizes something when plugged in, but the phone doesn't charge. Well the battery symbol in the notification bar shows a question-mark so there's definitely something strange.
Any recommendations or tips?
Grateful for all the help i can get!
Thanks,
Grewy
You probably corrupted some data by accident when you pulled the battery so I would try passimg here is a link to how to just scroll down to "Unroot / Restore your Nexus": http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_%26_Tutorials
Hallo,
i have been trying recovering my brother's Sony Xperia T for some time now.
Today i decided to create a thread because i have absolutely no clue how to proceed and i need some assistance.
Here is what was before the brick:
I installed the latest snapshot build cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-mint.zip from download.cyanogenmod.
My brother used it with pleasure until experiencing some minor issues like icons dis- and appearing again. But thats not the main issue.
The main issue:
Then one day the phone got into the state, where it is not rebooting correctly.
Unfortunately my brother can't remember what exactly happened, but he thinks the battery was low.
So this is not an uncommon issue as we now.
What i tried to solve the issue:
I basically tried every solution i found related to this problem and especially focused on the "[GUIDE] Recover 2012 and newer XPERIAs from SOFT-brick".
Yesterday i did the following.
I removed the battery and waited 5 minutes.
Then i inserted the battery again.
As im able getting into fastboot mode i flashed the boot.img of cm-12-20150715-NIGHTLY-mint before trying to start the phone again.
That worked fine again, as i already tried to solve the issue by flashing a new kernel from a cm build. But this time i removed the
battery before that to release all the energy in the chips.
After flashing i waited an hour before starting the phone.
So i pressed the start button and the red led starting blinking twice again of course.
Between the first contact to the issue and yesterdays try to solve the problem, i also tried the hard and soft reset, holding the power button with the rubber and stuff.
Maybe havent done all my "solutions" in the right order? I dont now.
The current state:
After the disappointment from yesterday i connected the phone to a wall charger for the night, where it is still connected right now.
I noticed an interesting thing after my latest experiments...
So the phone seems to be switching between red led and green led now. But thats a thing that i noticed before the first start after the flash yesterday i think.
There is definately no hope for me that it will boot correctly when i press the start button.
But maybe that has a meaning to you.
Here is what i noticed right now while writing the post:
So after switching from red to green led i looked at the circle.
The green led is lighting for 5-8 seconds and turning off.
After 2 seconds its turning on again.
This i repeating about 8 times until the red led is lighting again.
The red led i lighting for minutes.
What is important:
While recovering from this annoying state it is important no to delete the user data from my brother. There is some personal stuff he would rly like to keep.
Recovering this data is more important to him than saving the phone.
I would like to solve both issues.
Do you have any idea what to try. Please take my hand and guide me.
Thank you!
