If it's with specific one ROM, then try Wiping (everything) & try again OR flash another ROM ............
If problem remains, open you handset carefully & check the cables down to Motherboard 2 wide black strips (coming from LCD) (check if properly attached) -------- which I hope might not be the problem
Best of luck

If not attached properly, open it & do press that cable a little hard so it get into slot. If problem persist, contact some expert, as I think u can't detach the cable yourself from LCD (you might ruin your Digitizer OR LCD itself)
PS: Don't open your handset if you don't have guide in your hands.......

You say it will only *turn* on... does it STAY on if you snap it back?

for me it doesn't stay on. the screen freezes.

its fully functional when keyboard is open. on portrait mode when keyboard is closed nothing works. i tried wiping and all that. so i guess ill try to open it. i figured its a hardware problem. its just strange because it happened all of a sudden. its not like it dropped or anything.

Keep screen on while docked? CM7

I swear there is a setting to keep the screen on while charging or docked but I cannot find it.
It would logically be under settings/display but its not.
Running CM7 latest nightly currently, and I swear I have seen the option, although maybe on a different Rom?.
I want to keep the screen from timing out while in my car dock. It stays on with CarHome Ultra but if I get a call the screen times out and then wont go back to to CarHome.
Any suggestions?

Settings / Application / Development. Now if you want to know why it is there instead of display, that one I can't answer

Thank you! I knew I had seen it someplace.
Applications certainly does seem an odd place for it.
sent from XDA app

i FOUND THE solution i have exactly the same problem 2 days i tried resetting , formating, hard reset, even rooting to diffrent rooms the problem was never solved .
i had following problem
1. the phone will automatically swtich to docking, its annoying
2.some time i got old galaxy s 1 home screen
3. when i put a battery it will show its charging which im not charging and will pop a msg high volage, also.
its not a software issue which ibelieve but the USB hub under your phone, due having contacts with moisture new phones wont have this problem, im not saying u guys may had dipped ur phone, but having ur phone in ur pocket or sweat is 1st problem and having a bath and ur phone is in toilet,
HERE IS THE SOLUTION
get a alocohol from pharmacy and wool, get a tooth pick put the small cotton at the head and run ur usb HUB rema phone has to be off take batt out, after cleaning u will see the USB hub is clean alot of dirt removed, then wait 5-10 min to dry never plug charger or else u will pay for ur mistake, after 10min turn ur phone on it will be total fine.
ITS THE DIRT WHICH IS STICK ON PIN 4-5 making Problem.
i hope it can help tht how it work for me

[Q] Galaxy S+ Charging in a very strang way (Problem)

Sorry to open a new thread as i already did a very useless deep search.
Below is the Problem:
1- Phone didn't fail down (ground or water).
2- phone functionality was excellent including charging, Kies and everything.
Now:
1- phone is not able to charge while on.
2- Going to dwonload mode is OK but ODIN can't detect it.
3- Kies can't detect it.
4- Power off the phone and try to charge is useless (Never charge).
I perform the exact following scenario:
1- Power off the phone.
2- Take off battery.
3- connect the power cable and nothing happened (This is Normal).
4- PUT BATTERY BACK
5- The phone Start charging (This is very strange !!!!!!!).
6- Pressing power while charging in off-line mode cause the phone correctly load the ROM and charging is ok.
The problem is:
1- Powring off the phone and then on again, can't charge (Previous scenario is the only way to charge).
2- Till now, can't connect to ODIN or any connection of any type.
Can Someone help?:crying:

Check your Battery contacts, clean if oxidized and contacts are firm, not loose, some use paper or tape to keep them in place . Similarly USB ports should also be clean.

Thank you for sharing with me this Idea, I did with no luck also.
I tried to clean it but it is really clean as i bought the phone few months ago and always keeping it clean.
I believe this is not the reason because the battery must not be able to operate the device in this case.
Yesterday, i tried many other ROMs with the same results.
When i thought about this problem from both sides (Hardware and Software), i found both are logic:
1- (Hardware Problem) because many ROMs with the same result.
2- (Software Problem) because it can charge under specific scenario..
I already visit your thread which is a great one and helped me already for many problems with another Phones.. (Thanks).

Hi, about ODIN and KIES problems, maybe you're not able to connect to the phone because of some drivers failure o conflicts...
could you try to use another PC (maybe you have already done that...)

I thought about the same before and tried from another 3 laptops with the same result.
BTW,
- I did NO change to the software in my laptop since last ODIN and KIES access.
- I did try disabling the Anti virus.
- I did try changing the Cables (i have many many).
- I did try using the same cable with the same laptop for another device and that device is OK.
- I did try with many other laptops with different cables for another device and all are OK.
- I did try with many power adapters with the same voltage and different power supply voltage (110 and 220).
in all cases, the mobile charges only under the mentioned specific scenario (Turn off, pull battery, connect charger then insert battery) but never do a PC communication under any case.
As i told you (VERY STRANGE WAY:angel

Currently, I'm thinking about any Tech. Soft. configuration that allow/prevent the device from being charge while the phone is ON.
We will need the experts input if such a config is currently present in any Cooked ROM, if yes it will help..

you need to use only the original samsung USB cable or someone mentioned that Huawei also worked, other than that most cables will not have data connection only charging

I used the original cable included in the box with the same result.
Also the original charger
No charge/No Communication !!!
As i reported early, Every thing was working with the same equipment under the same environment.

Have you throughly examined your Micro USB Slot, did come a cross another XD, who had one misaligned pin , that caused him headaches like yours, which he eventually managed to straighten with a needle ..this would give you some insight or even this attachment and the one below

It seems this is my only way to solve the problem..

Fell from 1.5mts height - Camera - Recovery - NOT Working

My Nexus One Fell from a height of approx 1.5 meters.
> Now the charging LED is not glowing.
> When i turn on the Camera, the screen completely goes BLACK for about 1 min and then say NOT RESPONDING
> When i dial/call some number i can hear the voice , but the screen goes blank and i cannot hang up the call.
I wanted to Re-Install my OS, but i am not able to enter the Recovery.
I am using 4EXT Touch, the screen stays at the count of 0 and keeps looping there.
I even updated the newest Recovery using the 4EXT recovery APP. but No use.
These are the problems i so far found.
The mobile fell just a few mins back and i am very concerned :crying:
Please help

Seems like all the TOP portion things are not working.
The Proximity sensor is acting ODD.
Some times it does not Turn off the screen. SOme times it does not turn on the Screen.
Please reply.
How to Flash the ROM without entering the custom Recovery ?

I disassembled the mobile and checked if there are any loose connectors but didnt find any.
Please help me

"Fell from 1.5mts height"
AND IT WORKS?!?!?! No broken screen!?? Miracle!!
Best chance is to get a cracked screen/digitizer one on eBay, should cost around $20 or so, and replace the motherboard + camera.

The mobile was having the Silicon Cover so i think it absorbed some force, but some internal parts might have been effected
I dont have any problem with the TOUCH. It works well.
I found no loose connections in the connectors.
Non working things are :
1. Ear phone socket - Does not detect the headset
2. Camera - shows blank screen for a few secs and force closes
3. Proximity Sensor
4. Charging LED
so far i found these issues.
I cant enter the Custom Recovery (4EXT) too.
Please help me.

Sounds like you've damaged quite a bit of it. It may not be the motherboard that's the only problem, and could mean also replacing screen, etc. Unless you're up to that it could be time to let the Nexus One go..

As of now it started to Switch ON. So it is better than not having it at all.
All the above noted issues are still not working

I'm sure some items aren't absolutely necessary such as the charging led, but the earpiece and the proximity sensor could be more the problem. At least it boots - better that than nothing at all

Take a look on eBay - there are some ear pieces available (at least in the UK) and proximity sensors. Then if you follow a video which you will likely find you can manually replace these parts to see if they are the problem

Had the same problem; it can be the ribbon cable which is either loose, or completely disconnected. The bad news is that you'll have to disassemble pretty much the whole phone. We've actually damaged one the of the cables once while trying to do this, so if you try it, be very careful! There is a page online somewhere that tells you which cable it is exactly, just search the symptoms:
1. Camera doesn't work
2. Charger LED doesn't work
3. Proximity sensor always shows "near", as a result -the screen remains black after making a call
UPDATE:
Found the link with the picture of which cable it is:
code.go ogle.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15291
It's a long page, so just scroll down

My Nexus one also has the same issues!
I know that it is coz of the flex cable. the other thing that doesn't work is the camera flash (when you try to use it as a flash light)
luckiely for me the ear phone does work! i am able to use the phone (except for the camera and flash light) for pretty much everything
as i always make/answer the calls using the ear phones, i dont have to worry about the proximity sensor not responding during the calls.
My suggestion would be to try and see if your ear phone is detected or not (may be play a song) and then use it to make some calls.

Unfortunately its not working. I thought i can atleast use for media listening/watching but its not detecting the earphone
there are some dedicated ROMs for usage as Media Players so i thought of it, but no use.
Only possibility will be to use the Bluetooth Headset. (I have Plantronics Backbeat 903+ but my ears pain a lot , doesnt fit will )
If some one can confirm that it is related to the FLEX cable then i can dare to buy it

ques
I had same issues as you.
Basically flex cable is loose and it needs to be attached properly. I have gone to service center and they dis-assembled and corrected it.
Proximity sensor ->camera not working. I can confirm the problem (happen twice to my n1)
@OP: I saw your post regarding NexusOne having booting up on Safe Mode: due to getting wet in rain.
How to resolve it. I am facing safe mode boot up issue. ?

RE: Safe Mode...
I've had this before, all I did was to take my N1 completely apart, until the point where I couldn't see anything else to remove lol!
I then left it to air for the next 48 hours, reassembled and it works!
BUT !
I warn you, if you do this, you MUST make a note of where every piece on your phone goes or you'll regret it at the end!

Phone allowing rotation on home screen/speaker phone always on

My stock rom M8 is answering and making calls in speaker mode all the time. Also, the home screen is allowed to rotate. I've read a bit about some other phones having this issue caused by a bad USB port. Has anyone reported issues like this with the M8? Plug in a USB cable and it's back to normal. The USB cable doesn't even have to be connected to anything on the other end for this to work. Unplug the USB and the screen comes on a couple seconds later with the issues back again. I'm hoping someone can tell me I don't have to replace my USB port to get it fixed.
Phone info:
Stock Sprint rom
Running ART (changed animation scales down to .5)
Only using 10B of 32GB of phone storage and 10.5GB of a 32GB SD
Factory reset the phone and it didn't fix
Using Tasker for managing Ringer profiles and mobile data connection
Chrome installed and updated
All phone updates are updated
Always use HTC charger and charging cord
Phone is babied (It sits in a case on a microfiber cloth on my desk at work )
HELP! My ears can't take anymore of the auto speaker mode.

It looks like your phone thinks its always on "Car Mode". Some cleaning of the usb connector might be able to fix it.
There is an extra pin in the phone usb connector that detects when its connected to car dock,desktop craddle or in usb host mode.if something is bridging it to the ground pin, this can happen.

I cleaned it with part of a Q-tip and some glass cleaner, then probed around in there with a needle. Nothing looked dirty. I ran a usb cable in and out a few times to see if it would work something out of the way. I'm leaving it dry out now (just in case it's a little moist) and we'll see what happens.

I spoke to HTC and our last resort before sending it in is to re-flash the stock Sprint RUU. Are there instructions on that somewhere? Or, is it better to just root now that it's somewhat busted?
