Hi,
I tried to upgrade my ROM on my Motorola Defy, quite a while ago now. Once completing all of the steps and the new OS was installed everything seemed to work fine, however I couldn't get a signal from my phone. I reset to factory and still, no signal. Luckily I had just bought the phone, had a very friendly salesperson, and he just swapped the phone out for a new one, no questions asked.
I have recently been getting the bug to root my phone again. However, I'm scared to death that I'm going to fudge it and be left with the same issue. I never really found any info as to why the phone did what it did, or how easy it would have been to fix. I'm wondering if anyone has come across this problem?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
Just started to have this problem where the phone is always stuck with the speakerphone activated when i make or take a call. I've looked through the setting and i've searched through the forums with no answers. I did look through and saw that people with older models and older OSs have had this problem but no one yet with the skyrocket. As of now the phone is rooted on the stock rom with nothing crazy installed. The phone was rooted a couple of weeks ago and worked fine and then all of a sudden the speakerphone issue happened. I didn't update to the newest OTA update as well. Any answers would be great. If i need to return it so be it but i'm hoping there is an easier solution.
Thanks

pulled the battery and let it sit for a bit and started it back up and it looks like everything is working now.
seems like a random bug
Hey guys,
I tried looking for this issue but I can't seem to find it, I doubt I'm not the only one (I hope I'm not the only one...)
I've been flashing roms for a while now, fiddling with different settings/kernels/etc. and then all of a sudden I'm having issues with my Softkeys. I'll be using the phone and then they just go blank. What also happens is that the Search key gets held down (by a ghost, it seems) and it opens up the voice search option. I've also seen my Back button flicker as if it's being pressed repeatedly.
Right now I'm on CodeName Android 1.4 but I've tried 1.6, CM9 and it seems to be the same issue. I'm assuming that since this is consistant accross all ROMs that it's a hardware issue (I could be wrong) but I'm wondering if this has happened before and if there's a way to fix it.
Thanks gents
Hi friend,
The same happened to me once. It was very weird. I panicked, and locked the phone. Then when I unlocked it everything was as before. It must be some kind of a glitch, coming from CM9 built roms (almost all roms that are around). Try doing a totally clean install with a popular rom and see how it goes.
Now I remember that the same happened once again, when I got a drop of water on my screen, as the touchscreen seems to detect water as a form of touching and then all sort of weird things happened. Hope its a rom issue, not a Touchscreen failure.
Thanks man,
I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue either as I'm not sure what the process is in terms of sending my phone in for repairs.
I'll try a clean wipe and install tonight and see how it goes.
Thanks again
Update: Alright so I ended up calling Samsung because I had come to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue because every ROM I flashed I had the same damn issue.
I got the ok to send in my phone and all that, I went to return my phone to Stock and when I installed the OEM operating system everything was okay... I seriously doubt that every ROM I downloaded was bugged.
I'm thinking it's just a general glitch or is it possible that 1 ROM I downloaded was bugged and everyone after that inherited the same problem? I don't know...
Hey everyone! First post on the xda forums. I apologize if someone has already covered this issue but I havent been able to find anything about it. I've been rooting phones for a little over a year now, started with my good old LG Optimus T, and most of the time everything went perfect unless a ROM gave me fits. Now I'm onto the LG G2x and I love the phone but I'm having issues with CWM and running ROMS. The biggest issue is that when I boot into Clockwork Recovery, my phone sometimes restarts once the backlight times out, which is really odd and super annoying when I'm trying to install a ROM or do anything else. Everything is usually fine if I just keep touching the screen while its doing anything because I'm keeping the backlight active. I feel as if I installed recovery wrong. I first installed it using the CWM app which seems like a no-no, and since then have installed it with NvFlash, which hasn't changed anything. Can anybody maybe explain why this is happening? I'm also having issues getting any ROM to be reliable, every one I've tried will maybe work for a little bit, but after a while will just get into a loop of starting up, working for a bit then my phone restarting and its just the same loop over and over again. I'm wondering if that can be attributed to CWM. Anyways, sorry for the long post. Can anybody help me? Thanks
Hi all,
I’m a total noob to this site. And just above noob when it comes to technology. But I’m great at googling stuff
So, I have a Verizon Galaxy s3. My brother passed it on to me so it was already rooted when I got it (which I didn’t know). I moved to Moscow and was able to switch to GSM network and local provider. All was great.
I was running an old Synergy ROM (over a year old) which a few months ago started acting up. Whether it was a faulty application I downloaded or something else, it started rebooting on its own. First once every few days then once every few hours. Brother suggested installing another ROM.
I googled how to do it, installed ODIN, CWM and all the other stuff and rooted the phone. Again. Like I said, at the time, I didn’t know the phone was already rooted. I installed a new ROM; back camera stopped working. Wiped the memory, installed a new one. Nothing. Again and again. Different ROMs. I think I’ve gone through 5 or 6 ROMs. No result. Front camera works, back camera doesn’t. I googled the problem. Read a lot of forums. Cleared cache, unscrewed the back and unplugged and replugged the actual camera, restored to factory settings, and tried many other things that have been suggested. Nothing is working. I know it’s not a hardware issue, I checked it. I completely wiped the phone and went back to original Verizon stock version today, still not working. (and on top of it, now the phone is not working because it’s not recognizing Russian sim-card but that’s another issue, and I can fix that).
Help please! What’s up with the back camera?
Alright, after hours of searching, I've decided to ask the forum for help. Here's my dilemma, I just recently flashed the Google Play Edition ROM to my M8, and I love it. Its awesome, and I've been utilizing/exploring as much as the customization options as possible since I flashed the ROM a day ago.
But today, my cellular connection completely cut out. All I get is a little empty triangle in the top right hand corner of my screen that's supposed to show the signal. Its like my phone doesn't even know its a Verizon phone. Pulling the SIM does nothing, rebooting does nothing. So I decided to make a backup using TWRP and I wiped all the data from my phone (still keeping the ROM of course) and now my service works again.
So I figure I must have messed with some setting that ended up having this result, being that just clearing data solves the issue. I could just start over, but I've already done so much and I don't want to just give up. Does anyone have any idea as to what I can do to get my cellular connection back?
Thank you so much in advance!
