Did i mention it began happening right after i updated to 4.4.2 ? via OTA.
Is replacing the Ic audio the only fix for this issue ?I mean if things like this begin happening the only reason is a faulty part ? not software ?

I have read allot of posts and nobody had the solution.
It looks like a software issue but in my case it wasn`t. I have replaced the audio chip and after that i have no issue(1 month and counting).

You could do a factory data reset from settings within the phone (remember to backup your internal sdcard before doing this as it will erase your internal storage). This is known to reset the phone and resolve any firmware / modem related issues

Need the touchscreen firmware

Hi guys. Fist of all, sorry for my bad english.
I bricked my phone's touchscreen, with update firmware in the *#*#2663#*#* and its wrote 'update failed' . My bad, dont do this. Dou you know any solutions? I tried factory reset, flashing roms ( froyo and gongerbread too), but nothing helped. The touchscreen stopped responding. But i think, if i can reflash the touchscreen firmware, it will working. It is possible flash the touchscreen firmware from sd card? Actually where are the files of the driver in the file system?
Can we explain, what happened actually when click on update on the tsp firmware screen? Which application/ script started? I thinks, the touchscreen files are in the tsp ic, which is separated from the flash, so just flashin a new rom dont write data to the tsp ic. But the files must be in the rom too, because some people did the update without problem, and the firmware version is changed, and the touchscreen works better then before. Do you have some ideas? If you have root acces, please browse the system folder, i thinks there is somewhere a "tspupdate" or similar named shell script/application what i need. But dont run it, it can brick your touchscreen too!!!
Sorry for my bad englis.....

How did you solve it?
Yeah! How did you solve it? I currently have the same problem on my Bell's Vibrant. I also tried reflashing my Gingerbreak and factory reset without any success.
You don't know what you got til it's gone! Back button is really useful!

is just being a greedy attention whore?
THIS MAY MAKE THINGS WORSE, BUT SOME DO NOT CARE. DRAGONS AHEAD....
Either way hoarding knowledge is a big peev of mine. I have read about this issue from as many google'able places as possible. I started reading after I went thru the release notes from some of the sX series. I notices that some carriers listed ghost/glove tsp firmware update/support. I also noted as the original poster did, that the files are in the rom. I would guess look thru all the updates your carrier made available and download the specific whole rom update and factory restore / apply it. Should this not work look thru the system folder for the file. When you have it copy it to your sd card where the tsp update screen tells you to put it. Try running the update again.
If this works please confirm this.
I think possible looking in system folder I recall a firmware folder possibly inside lib or modules somewhere.
I read that tsp modes are controlled from, so logically the files should be nearby.
/sys/class/sec/tsp
or depending on phone/model
/proc/touchpanel
I will keep an eye here, I am busy with some debricking and roms in general.

[Q] Can't turn wifi or bluetooth on

Hi so i've been searching and re-searching over and over to fin what is going on but i can't find a solution to my problem, turns out that mi wifi (and bluetooth) can't turn on, funny thing is, i have to reset several times in order to make them work but it will last just a few minutes, although i have notice that when i make it work and stay connected on a strong wifi signal sometimes it wont deactivate but not always this is getting frustating, another thing is that when i do a factory reset or install a new rom rather stock or cm or any variation it will work but just for a minutes as well.... any idea what it could cause this and how to fix it??

FIRST OF ALL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!! AND YOUR BOOTLOADER SAYS: DEVICES IS UNLOCKED: STATUS CODE 3. IF YOUR BL IS NOT UNLOCKED DONT PROCEED ANY FURTHER, but I think its unlocked since you have flashed a custom rom. Any ways Follow this to solve your problem or get the diagnose for the your problem:
50% it might be a hardware problem or 50% it might be a software problem.... to make sure whether its a software or hardware problem do this:
1: Download the stock firmware of you Moto X.. You can find it specifically for your phone. Stock firmware are available for all models like 1058,1052,1060 etc..
2: Put your phone on Fastboot mode
3: Flash the firmware that you downloaded before through RSD lite, then your phone will be on its factory state properly, all partitions are erased and re-written when you RSD your phone. So any bad driver,kernal etc will be erased
4: Now Check your wifi and bluetooth properly if it does not work again after flashing the stock firmware then im sorry mate it would be a hardware problem obviously because you have already erased and everything and re-written it. If it does work then congratulations :good:
Let me know if it works and dont forget to hit the thanks button if it works.
thanks for the answer dude! i've already had donde that several times, so i guess it's hardware problem :/ u know if it has a solution without warranty?

Yes then its a hardware problem bro... umm if you are without warranty then you can check if you have any local markets in your city which repairs phones.. other then there is no way to solve your problem as in XDA no one has much information about the repairing of phones...

Sound/no sound popping external speaker

Good afternoon,
I have a problem and I wonder whether it's software or hardware.
I'm s -off , unlocked bootloader , supercid .
I performed many RUU 's, Guru Reset, Custom Rom... (I've tried many roms, many ways, and I'm worried and tired.)
With CyanogenMod the speaker works perfectly.
So I thought it must be related to the software , but because the stock rom accuses problem and a custom rom not?
I found this video of a person with the same problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxgOFDdGuEo
Note: Only one speaker has the problem.
Note2: Any sound from the device.
Many thanks if anyone knows about the problem and help me.

I think its an hardware problem, otherwise most of us would have the same problem and its not the case. I would try to replace the defective speaker or keep using CM if you don't want to open the phone yourself...

I'm convinced that it is hardware issue.
And I want to use stock rom , so I'll buy a new speaker and ask for help from a professional.
One more question , M7 speakers are a set or separately?
Thanks again, Alray !
Close this thread mods. Thanks!!

Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus Random Freeze

My Lenovo Zuk Z2 Plus has been randomly freezing (Happens at least once each day) even when it is NOT in use. The following conditions are observed on freeze:
Blank black screen
Flickering notification LED
Slight heating up
To recover, I have to force reboot by holding the power button and sometimes it requires multiple force reboots to recover.
Since the phone is only a month old and I'm not sure of the warranty norms, I have refrained myself from rooting my phone and trying a custom ROM.
I had handed over my phone to the official service center; they reinstalled the ROM. However the problem still persists. Before visiting the service center again, I was wondering if I could get any insight/past experience/help from the community here.
Can anyone help me in anyway?
PS: I know this is the Zuk Z2 Pro thread, but as there was no Q&A thread in the Zuk Z2 Plus section, I am forced to post here. Sorry for that!
On which ZUI version you are ??
ZUI 2.0.111ST or 2.0.133 ST ??
There was problems in 2.0.111ST .
If you are still at that try factory data reset, then update then again factory data reset.
Tell me if the problem occurs again.

I am on 2.0.111 ST. The System Update application does not detect any updates. I had earlier tried a factory reset, but I will nevertheless try it again and let you know.
Thank you for your reply.

Download #flyvpn from play store.
Register and select china sever from the server list and connect.
Then again check for system update.
Now hurray you'll get one of approx 54mb, i.e, 2.0.133ST .
After installing it, please dont forget to factory data reset once again.
Hope it will resolve your problem.
Do notify for any assistance. Anytym

I cant Say what it actually is. If problem is increasing, i suggest u must visit service centre.
But heating problem is common. Try greenify for some lesser background apps. It will surely less heatup.
My phone is also having a problem. The screen flickers when using Instagram . Going black from top and bottom and flickers in center. Only way to exit is to close the Instagram app. I updated and factory reset but problem persists.
I thinks its an software problem because it happens in instagram app.
Waiting for official Nougat update.
thats happen to me twice when i try indian rom, but i never have that problem on chinese 2.3 rom, cm based rom, even now i using zui 2.5. maybe it's rom related

Haven't seen this issue before, it sounds like you might have a faulty phone, best to return and get it exchanged
I have that same issue on my zuk z2 with the Indian Rom. The smartphone arrived about 2 days Ago.
Did anyone manage to solve this problem?

If possible, get the phone replaced. The issue has not yet been solved; my phone is with the service center now and they are looking for hardware problems. They had re-flashed the latest ROM twice earlier, but did not help.
PS: I have noticed that the problem usually arises when I am at specific physical locations. There was a time when I used it for almost a month in Mumbai without any problem. But I have no evidence to support this claim, only observations which could also be coincidence.
I have the same issue but with a ZUK Z2 Pro. I had no problem since about 6 month but since I updated to ZUI 2.5.335 I have this issue.
Did anyone found a solution?
Is there a way to go back to a previous ZUI version? I haven't rooted and installed any custom ROM yet.
I too had the same issue with mokee roms both 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 . So I relocked my phone and switched to stock zui 2.0.133 and the issue is solved. But this rom gives me fingerprint issues

Faulty zui
Guys just turn off the notification led from settings. Worked for me.
I am also facing screen freeze issues,
I noticed it happens jut after unlocking phone
I seem os or kernel problem because at that time all 4 cores getting stopped working.
I am on Indian zui 2.0.133
My Z2 Pro has the same problem. I've experienced flash screens, unstable wifi and cell networks, and after that a black screen of death that requires a hard reboot (or some) to live again. There would be a dim notification light whenever it happens, and if you don't reboot it fast, the phone gets hot and loses battery real quickly.
I haven't found a clue about what triggers this, but changing anything in Settings, i.e wallpapers, might have been a cause. I've been using one fixed wallpaper (that survived the issue) for two weeks and no flashed screens so far.

Moto G6 random reboots / shutdowns

Hello !
I have run into a small problem with two different moto G6
Both suffer from random reboots and sometimes thet just shutdown by themselves, I tied flashing them with the stock rom using the lenovo tool but it didn't work
I also tried factory reset and clearing the cache
The last thing I did was disable the animations and for some strange reason it seems more stable but I feel like I'm still missing something, any idea how to solve this?
Could a custom rom solve the problem?
Thanks in advance
Update: Phone's board was faulty , had to replace it , everything is working now.
Edit:Grammar
try flashing the firmware again but use another

So running the lenovo tool again in rescue mode? I guess that might work .Will give it shot, thanks!
If anybody else has this problems , this is a hardware defect , the board had to be replaced and now everything works
I just started getting this. Is it a mainboard issue?
