OK here's the deal.
Everything was working fine. One day I picked up my XDA II off the cradle as I was going home and the screen went all funny and it froze. I did a hard reset and it has never come up since (4+ months).
If I plug it into the power the red light comes on for about 2 minutes and then it disapears.
I've tried taking the battery/sim out and all the suggestions that I've found on this site but nothing seems to take. I've had it off the power for atleast 4 months now so the battery may be gone if it wasn't already.
Does anybody have a clue as to what it may be... red light on.. then off?
Also, I bought this thing when living in Australia, but I'm in NYC now and I can't find a single person who has even heard of the stupid thing. Does anybody know where I could get it repaired around here?
Don't bother asking anyone here; just about the least helpful bunch ever. The speaker in my I-Mate stopped working; no one here was any help at all when I asked where to get parts. It may have been because there appears to be NO place to get parts.
I ended up buying a MDA II from Europe (ebay) and getting the speaker from that. I actually bought a XDA II also from here in the states that had a cracked case; my intention was to combine the two to make a single phone in good shape.
Maybe I can help you in the process. E-mail me offline at [email protected] (remove the ".nospam") and we'll talk.
Well i had small problems for a while but its starting to get anoying... i have the portection plan..i dont wanna change my vogue.. i wanna keep it .... ok here are the problems.. (on the order they started affected me haha)
1. when i touch the screen sometimes i can c the screen change a little form the side of the screen
2. Sometimes the battery justs falls off little bit from the phone and it turns off...
3. When i wanna correct something(when typing) .sometimes i wanna use the buttons that are on the bottom but recently they randomly stop working too
It also has scratches just little tho but its been a year since i got this phone... the same phone.i want a replacement! another new vogue =D
can anybody passs me the stock rom from sprint.
what should i do? any other problems i could tell them to get a new one.. lol
if i just show them the phone it looks ok....
Magicalan,
You've had it for over a year and you want to send it back and expect them to replace it?
Give me a break lol, any service centre will say its wear and tear.
Im closing this thread as it serves no real purpose. As for the original Rom, check the Vogue wiki.
On my evo shift why would the sensor to the left of the speaker grill stop flashing for notifications such as sms/mms, missed calls etc. Now that it has stopped, the led under the speaker grill on the right, which was just the charging led, flashes for my notifications. Because of this, I no longer have two led notification lights so if my phone is charging i now have to turn on my screen to check notifications.
Ive tried calling Sprint three times. I was told to take the phone to sprint and have them check it out and install a previous software version. I went to sprint told them about my problem an how the tech made a note on my account. they said they did not do that there and said id have to go to the other sprint store down the street. When i got there, they seemed clueless about loading software or anything for that matter manually. Ive tried factory resetting and everything else I can think off. I bought 2 evo shifts with a new contract that had 2.3.3os out of box and a few days later checked for updates. Im not sure what the software number was before but after i updated it was 2.76.651.5(now.6) the same problem is happening with the second shift also.
Is this like unheard of to everyone? Ive looked every where about this problem and im not seeing anything at all about anyones proximity sensor ever even flashing for notifications.
What looks like a led on the left of the speaker grill is actually the proximity sensor, when you put the phone to your ear it turns the screen off so you don't open an app or hang up on the person you are talking to accidentally. The notification led is the one located to the right of the speaker grill.
Without them(developers) this place would not be called *Insert You Device Forum Name Here* but something else, e.g Mobile Phone & Tablet User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

I know what it is and does, but what I am saying is that on both the evo shifts I bought, the proximity sensor acted as an actual led notification light. it flashed a bright green for every notification while the actual led notification light was only lighting/flashing orange and turning solid green to be charged,charging and finally when its fully charged. the proximity sensor would flash even when plugged in while the real led was being used for the charging light. I swear im not lying about any of this lol.
Well unless HTC has changed the sensor in newer makes thats not the way mine and others phones works so Guess you had a different phone. Try taking it to sprint repair and see what bthey tellyou . Good Luck

Lmao They looked at me like I was nuts.
I bought the two phones in late October. They both came with 2.3 out of the box. The proximity sensor acted as a second notification light for about a week after I decided to go into settings and check for updates and applied them which caused this to stop. Ive tried everything I could think of to get it to do it again but I cant find anything.
Im hoping someone here could help me look more into this and try to make it possible again.
EDIT
Hopefully since the sensor CAN and at one time did emit a green flash for notifications, can someone out there please figure out how to make it happen again. I don't really know anything about developing so I sadly can't do it myself...

...because the proximity sensor has never acted as a notification LED on any ROM. Sorry.

grr, Okay, I know Im a newly registered user here and I havnt posted enough for you or the other members here to get to know me but Im being 100% honest about this guys. If this means anything, I swear on my daughters life and my mothers gave who has passed away that when I started my contract with 2 lines an 2 brand new evo shifts with 2.3 out of box that this really happened. The sensor flashed for notifications until about a week later when I performed the firmware, profile,prl and software update. It didnt even act like the prox. sensor should during calls until after the updates. And this was weeks before i even rooted the phones, they were completely stock.

You must have gotten a very very special shift and seeing as none of us have ever had a special shift like you i doubt we would even know where to begin on helping you fix your problem . You now have a normal shift thats not special anymore which is a shame... Not trying to be mean or sarcastic by any means

Dude i believe you, but seeing as none of our shifts have ever done that i don't think we would know where to begin on helping you. Take what i said however you want but i really wasn't trying to be mean or sarcastic cause i'm not the type of person to do that seeing as i don't know as much as everyone else on here about android
Hello, i read almost every posible thing what to try with tablet when it cant turn on. tablet when is charging the orange light in on. same like when it is in keyboard. no vibrating.
the problem is that i buy it in bestbuy.com and did not know that in us you have to buy extra guaranty from bestbuy.(geeksquad) so now when something happen to the tablet i need to send it to the ASUS. (pay for shipping)
Now what piss me of is that i send the tablet there already 4times with same problem and asking for replace and they never did that teling me that it was just software problem. now i will have to send it there for the 5times in one year because it happen again. im working in us for 1.year so i dont know exactly what to do. isnt there law that they have to replace the item when it was in service already 4times for the same problem? thanks for reply
Hi everybody. I'm new to this forum also not native english speaker so please forgive me if I do any mistake or grammar error. Anyway, I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, the At&t model. I live on Europe so I use it as a unlocked sim phone. I have it for more than a year and It was performing good, no problems at all. But recently, I just put it out from my pocket to see the time, and it was off. It was doing good 5 minutes before. Tried to turn it on, it didn't. Pulled out the battery couple of times, still didn't turn on. So when I went home I put it on charger to see what happen, with and without battery on, no reaction at all. Tried to boot into recovery and download mode, still nothing. I heard about water damage but I can assure this is not the problem. So I went to a local phone repairer and it told me something about an internal part, something like 'memory chip' (I don't know if this is the exact word to call it in english) It would cost me about 40$ to repair it and I don't know if it's worth since the phone is a lot old now also I can't be sure how much it would resist or if this problem would happen again in no time. So I would appreciate if somebody would know anything about this problem and may help me to know a bi more cuz I don't want to rush and do it. Thanks.
