LG G2 (AT&T D800) bricked itself topic

So there I was, browsing the Slick Deals app, when the phone locked up, turned off, and now it won't do crap. Decent charge on the battery at the time, ~90%. Stock ROM and rooted for over a year with no issues to speak of. I got the phone on day 1 (Sept 2013?) I'd taken care of this phone better than any previous to it. Always in a protective case, always with a screen protector. Never dropped, never left in a car or in the sun. My plan was to go 3 years with this one I liked it so much. Well so much for that idea.

If I hold down the power button long enough I can get it to boot some of the time. Recovery mode and download mode are not options, just won't do it. It did the whole 15 drives thing when plugged into USB once, but there is no consistency to it. I read several threads on how to unbrick the phone, but the whole Linux install and img files are little over my head to try.

I went ahead and ordered a new battery for it, just in case that's what's causing the issue. I was told if a cell in the battery flips out it can cause the phone not to work properly. At one point I had the phone charging while off and could see the charging screen. It got to 95% and never any higher. Managed to boot the phone for 30 seconds then it shut off again. I quit messing with it after that.

Could it be just a battery gone rouge all of a sudden, or do I have bigger problems? I hate to abandon this phone, but I don't want to spend any more money on it to fix it either. I bought a used Nexus 5 off a friend for a song to get back up and running with my SIM card, so I have time now to work on the G2. If I can resurrect it, the Nexus will serve as a nice backup phone in case of future disasters.

[Q] Factory Reset Note 2 yesterday, it factory reset itself today (please advise) topic

Good morning,

Sorry that my first post is asking for help. I've always googled any issues I have with my phone, and this forum is often the one that comes up with the goods, so I thought I'd post here.

Issue:
My phone has been having some problems for a while (lagging, freezing, occasionally restarting, System UIDs inconsistent), so finally I backed up the important stuff, and did a factory reset yesterday. After the reset, the phone seemed fine again for the day. Back to being quick, no error messages, and I restored the data I'd backed up.

This morning, the phone seemed fine, then suddenly it restarted itself, and seemed to be stuck on the boot logo, so I popped the battery out, back in and turned it on. It's done another factory reset on itself, had to log back into Samsung/Google accounts, set up WiFi etc, all data gone again.

Bought: Jan 2013
Rooted: No, never.
Model #: GT-N7105
Android: 4.3
Baseband: N7105XXUEMK3
Kernel: 3.0.31-2138564
Build: JSS15J.N7105XXUEMKA


Does anyone have any experience with such an issue? What can I do?


Thank you.

Notification volume mysteriously turns itself up topic

I have a weird problem that I can't figure out. At random times my notification volume will go from about 25% to 75%. I do have MyProfiles running but it's not set to change any notification volume except at 10pm it turns notifications all the way down (silent) and then turns them back on to about 25% at 7am. I'd suspect that but it happens randomly throughout the day when it SHOULDN'T be doing anything. I say shouldn't, it's possible it's doing something but none of my profiles in that app have the notification volume doing anything more than about 25%.

Thoughts?

[Q] Prime just turns itself off randomly topic

Hi ! Please move it to the Q&A ! my mistake !

Hi all !

It all started a week or so ago... I'm working with the transformer and it just turns itself off... At first I thought it could be the battery, so i charged it, but still no luck...

The prime reports the battery at 100% . The time it takes from start until it turns off isn't always the same.. I could be working for 5 m or for 30 m...

The funny thing is, when it starts again, the time and date is reset to 01/01/2000 and the time to 00:00 !

What's going on ? What is happening ?

I've already performed a factory defaults and installed a new ROM (I was with Androwook HairyBean v2.31) and now with Stock 10.4.2.18 - Light/Rooted/Odexed V5, but nonetheless, the problem persists...

Best regards

[Q] Smartwatch doing things by itself topic

Hey everyone, first time poster here.
I've bought a Sony Smartwatch 3 after the contacts on my LG G watch broke, but I'm noticing a problem that's been happening on both watches.

I can be doing anything with it, or just having it resting on the desk in front of me, and all of a sudden it'll wake itself and then start scrolling up and down randomly and going into random apps. sometimes even calling people who text me. (you can imagine trying to fight with said watch while it goes about calling every text)
And that's another thing, I have to sit there attempting to reassert my touch control over some phantom user by polishing the screen with my finger.

How do I stop this from happening? I've tried turning off the tilt to wake, nothing. And I can't seem to physically lock the touchscreen with the side button like you'd expect. I can still unlock by double tapping (a function I'd like to disable) and the thing starts off all over again.

Is it something to do with static or is the unit just faulty?

How long will the internal battery itself last before it needs replaced? topic

I see a lot of threads about how is the battery life, but I want to know how long the life of the battery would be expected to be? This is my first phone that's had a non user replaceable battery and it made me wonder how long this battery will last me and continue to hold a solid charge?

I know there are variables, and my variable is I only charge it once a day at night on a Qi charger (I know i've read the heat can effect the battery), but surely its the same or less heat than the turbo charger produces I'd think.

What are some realistic life spans on these batteries based on perhaps a moto x history maybe since its similar? It doesnt seem the battery is readily available to purchase on ebay or amazon since the device is still new. When the time comes I'll replace it myself, just wondered of any comments you all may have from experience on similar devices?

Thanks!

Samsung s4 shuts off by itself topic

Alright so recently out of the blues whenever I go on Google Maps or browse the internet on the S4. It turns off by itself, I try it again and it does it again. Not sure exactly why but I'm looking for an explanation of some sort, or if some one else is facing the same issue. It would be kindly appreciated if any one could enlighten me to as what I should do to solve such an issue.

Thanks for taking the time :)

[Q] Nexus 4 blocked itself!!! Is there a way to remove PIN? topic

Thankfully I have made recently a backup of the phone... So I really don't care if I need to wipe it out...

Hello XDA Forums! The most strange thing has happened to me yesterday! I have a Nexus 4 with Android 5.0.1, and was doing some Skype + Hangouts (battery was around 14%)... I put it in my lap, put it in the baggage (I was on a trip to the beach), and when I try to unlock the phone... BAM!

I get myself a PIN lockscreen.... I don't know how the heck did it happen. I don't even have one for starters. I know 100% sure that nobody touched that phone, because it was with me ALL THE TIME (from the last time I used it, to the time I got the message. It was around 35 mins).

And you know what's strange...? I can't even make emergency calls. I don't know if this is a bug... But it has kind of scared me because I'm away from home and good Internet connection. Thankfully I have my laptop with me and Lollipop has the hotspot toggle which it isn't PIN-enforced.

Has this happened to anyone?

Is there a way to unlock the device?

Thanks :)
