Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you guys know how to fix this problem with the keyboard not working after sliding the screen completely open and I say completely open because when I open it half through the touch screen will work but only when the screen is completely open so I can use the keyboard is when it stops working. It also works when in landscape mode but the device has to be closed otherwise it's not working. Any help will be much appreciated and thank you in advance.
are you running a hero rom?
Yes I am but actually this happened before I flashed hero on the phone I first had this problem when the phone was on JF 1.51
dont know exactly what the problem might be but it sounds like a hardware issue, you should return it
I'm gonna just keep trying if after a week I can't get it fixed ill considered returning it. Is there an easy way to go factory/stock mode because if they find out my phone is rooted they're going to void any warranty the phone may have

yes you can, there is a link in the stickies... ill post it here as well [HOW TO] UNROOT, get phone to STOCK firmware
also since we are on this topic, does anyone know if tmobile checks IMEI on warranty exchanges, or do they just see if the phone is up for warranty exchange still. i am wanting to swap my spare g1 with a new one since the speaker is out on it and some of the keys dont work, but i dont want to run into problems at tmobile. Thanks guys!
I had warranty devices shipped out to me, perhaps 20 times. They only asked me to confirm the IMEI, maybe 4 times, out of 20. Asurion on the other hand, has always asked to confirm the IMEI on all phone claims etc...
As far as them checking the IMEI in the warehouse once the Phone is returned, I have no idea. I have yet to return a phone whos IMEI's didnt match. Sorry.
Goodluck tho.

Ok.. so sorry for spamming the Q&A but did anybody replaced their Nexus one Due to Wifi Problem..
i dont think its Hardware problem but What if it is..
i bought mine off craiglist . it came cm nightly rom preloaded.
wifi sometimes works sometimes it doenst.
now it doenst work.
so i might conctact HTC and see if i can get a fix or replaced
but i dont want to pay for all the crap if its not covered by warranty
Dont they like charge 28 dollars just for Inspecting your nexus one + other stuffs?
Can someone post a pic back of their nexus one without back cover one?
Cause when i take off the backcover
im missing Void sticker on top of the screws.
or is it like that in the first place.
by the way mine is already unlocked and all but i saw people getting replaced with no problem even though their device was unlocked if im not wrong
How can i tell how old is my nexus one?
like for apple u can just type in their serial number and it will show u when u bought it.
but i couldnt find it on HTC website.
Try flashing a different kernel, certain kernels don't agree with the wifi antenna. Otherwise, you're playing roulette when trying to warranty an unlocked phone.

i probably flash about 30 times a day.. to different roms. diff kernel, diff radio.
Here is my issue, my captivate was hard bricked and I was able to perform the unbrickable mod on my phone successfully. It worked the first time with no issues. I flashed a fresh ROM to my phone and all was well, it played all of the games that it always did, the screen looked just as good as it did when it was new. Then one day while playing a game, the screen changed and now it looks like it is in negative mode...(yellow is orange, white is almost purple) kind of like the colors are all reversed. Plus when even attempting to play a game it is a slow crawl. Is there anything I can try or has anyone else seen this issue? I have already used Odin and went back to 2.1 stock and did a master clear, but the issue still exists.
Can anyone help?
broken. if it is under 1 year old send back for warranty now that you flashed to stock. if not... bummer. try to order a new main board.
Yeah this is my original captivate that I bought in August of 2010...so it is way far out of warranty. I will do some searching to see how much a main board would cost me. If its more than $50, I will just sell it for parts. Thanks for the help though!

You might still wanna contact ATT/Samsung for a replacement. I remember that I was able to replace my old Samsung Impression (touchwiz, no android) even though it was way out of warranty (like 6 months out). ATT may not replace it, so definitely call Samsung...
Wouldn't warranty be voided with unbrickable mod?

Hello All,
My Z1 has recently begun to give off a sort of feedback when it vibrates (via the speakers).
I've ran diagnostic tests on my phone and all tests seem to come back positive and error-free.
However, when I run the Vibration test, sometimes the vibrator works perfectly fine (for about two runs), and then it vibrates with the negative "ZzzzzZzzZ" sound.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with their Z1? Perhaps someone else (if anyone is experiencing it as well) can further elaborate on the issue. Would really like to get this issue fixed without having to send it back to Sony :crying:
I have the same problem with my Z1 (6903). There's a weird buzzing sound from the speaker right after the vibrator activate. Would love to be able to fix this without sending to Sony as well.

Guys i had same problem few weeks back, then two days back vibrator stopped working and this zzzzzzzzzzzz sound was the only thing i can notice. So went to center and today got it replaced. So no more workarounds for this issue. Go to center and get it replaced.

Ahh, that's unfortunate. I live in the Bahamas, so doing that is pretty difficult for me at the moment. Were you able to go to any Sony store, or did you have to go directly to a service center? How long did you have to wait for your replacement?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
I submitted my phone yesterday morning and person in charge told me they will try to do any sort of update first and if still there is an issue, they will replace it. Today morning when i went there, he told issue is not sorted wait for 10 minutes. and then i got new brand replacement in 15-20 minutes..:laugh:
I will suggest you to go directly to service center.

Damn. Lol that is a toughie. Only service center I know of in the US is located in Texas :/
Edit: There are actually 4 locations; NJ, LA, Texas and San Jose, Cali.

Ohhh that sounds tooooo far from your location. Try repair your phone via SUS or PCC. But first take full backup. Hope this can solve your issue. Though chances are very less.

Yeahh, I doubt it would fix my prob. I'm going to have to tough it out till I can get up to NJ at some point (hopefully before my warranty expires ).
Yeah All the best for that mate.
Really found my self lucky that i have to travel just 10-12 minutes to reach service center
Yeah, thanks for replying to my thread though..thought I was the only one experiencing this issue.

Yeah, unfortunately. Considering this is such an expensive phone with "top-quality components", you'd have expected more..
I'm also having the squeaky vibration problem...
Hi, I'm also having the squeaky vibration problem. My phone is about 6 months old and I've been having this noisy vibration squeak for at lease 6 weeks now. I'm running slimkit evo 8.1 on a unlocked bootloader. Before I try to get it fixed by Sony, do I need to reset back to stock and lock my bootloader?
Could anyone give me some pointer to what I could say to get the phone exchanged for a brand new one? I can't be without a phone for 2-3 weeks (estimated service time by resale store).
I have a 5 months old z1, and ive had this issue since the first month i bought it....i guess its a weak point, which is pity for a flag**** phone...

Hi macooz,
Sorry for the late reply. If you are sending it back to Sony, you should always revert back to Stock, as custom firmwares void your warranty.
You could simply tell them that your Vibration Motor is not functioning properly (giving off a squeaky noise instead of an actual vibration) and you would like for it to be either repaired / replaced or have your entire phone exchanged for a new one.

I agree with you. Issue is that because the phone is encased in gorilla glass, it makes it a bit difficult to change any parts on your own. Disassembly videos are available on YouTube, but who wants to take the risk of breaking their phone's casing and then have to replace additional parts?

Hi,
No work around , besides trying to do it yourself and losing your warranty.
Was without my phone for a month and a half. Eventually got it replaced.

Unfortunately, I agree with Soka on this one. I have had the replacement Vibrator for months now, but a little reluctant to open my device as it requires heating and having to purchase new adhesives and so on. I am getting those items in the very near future though, so I'm going to go ahead and do it!
My best piece of advice would be to purchase a replacement back (in case you crack / break your original one while removing it) and replacement adhesives before actually performing the DIY Fix.
Hi there Im facing this problem too, I open a new thread but then @soka pointed me to this one, I record a video from the sound
they had already replace the vibrator and the main board, but the issue still continue, here is the thread I open:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/problem-sound-vibrator-t2922957
Hope to get fixed or replaced soon
Well, finally fixed my vibrator problem. I opened the back of my phone using a Hot Air Gun and pry tools, then replaced the vibrator module. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only valid solution.

I have updated to Android 5.1.1 Stock version hours ago and it has two big problems:
1- It has the superheating problem so bad that I could fry eggs on it.
2- It super buggy and slow nad sluggish. It hangs when you want to move between the pages.
Also, I don't know why but I think that everything is super bright and it hurts eyes.
did you do a clen install? or a dirty one?
Factory reset will fix you're issues
Not for me. I did not do hard reset but everything is working fine.

I have the N910C and same thing happened to me.. i did everything i know but my mobile dont cooldown.. everything is hot, the screen, the sides, the back.. i check the temp using cpu-z and says 43-45° only.. i downgraded to 5.0.1 but still the problem is there. Then i decided to show it to a technician.. he also found out that if i take out the battery and turn on again, it wont turn on unless it will be plugged to a charger.. he said that the power IC was damaged and it is a problem of a lot of note 4's. I dont know what to do anymore. I already lost my warranty due to rooting.. please any help?

Ask the technician to remove the broken PMIC (power management Intergrated Circuit) and replace it with a new one, he probably has the skills and tools to do it, i also do it at our shop, it's not that hard. And it would be a pretty cheap repair too since the cost of those chips is usually around $5.
Or you can try brick it so it does nothing at all anymore and send it for warranty. If it's dead they can't check your knox status.
