Today I noticed I couldn't hear incoming calls, but they could hear me.
I have cyanogenmod 9 alpha 3 release, and tried reformatting, and reinstalling alpha 5 to no avail. Even called tmo to check if it was a network issue with no luck. Then I noticed my screen go shut off upon opening the keyboard. It would go on and off as if the connection was loose. Now it is permanently off so I followed the directions to factory reset through hardware buttons and am pretty sure it did reset. However, this will just keep me stuck at the recovery mod screen as I know from previous wipes.
My questions are the following:
Is my phone gg'd?
If I hook up a tv out cable to the audio jack, will I be able to see the screen on a tv for reformating to stock rom for tmo replacement?
If I send in my phone with a dead screen, will they know I installed a custom rom and tell me this was my fault?
That's about it.
Thanks.

Hi,
I've flashed my phone (HTC Touch Pro) with Hardspl and then the latest Energy ROM.
Everything went perfectly and I was impressesd with how simple and easy it was and how much difference the ROM made to the phone.
Today, while using the camera, the screen went blank.
I tryed turning the phone off, pulling battery and a hard reset but its still the same.
Even after hard reset, the screen is blank but if i press the power button, on the second press, I get a flash of whats on the screen and then it goes blank again.
Should I try to reflash the phone again?
I've searched but not found the same issue
Thanks
The touch screen is still working and sometimes i can see the display, but its very dark and hard to read. Is the flex cable that needs changing?
Why would it stop working so suddenly?
Should i take it apart to reseat it?
Ok, I've found the same issue in a few other peoples phones but they seem to have beeen resolved by sendin the phone back under warantee.
I dont have that option unfortunatly so need to find a fix.
The only thing wrong with the phone is the screen backlight that suddenly failed
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction please? I cant find a definite diagnosis anywhere
New Flex cable?
New Screen?
Pray?
Thanks
Back to stock SPL and stock ROM
Still no luck
I have an unlocked HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus imported from the UK to the US. Ordered from Negri Electronics.
It's not rooted or modded in any way.. Mainly because I don't know how to. As far as I know, it's running stock ICS.
I was using it normally, (using the fb messenger app if it makes any difference) when it suddenly rebooted by itself. The Google logo comes up, then the start up animation, and sometimes the home screen will appear but is not touch sensitive (i cannot slide it to unlock), and then it 'hangs' and the screen goes black. Repeat.
I've tried to fix this by myself and there's a video on youtube (sorry, noob here. can't post links. video is by robbidwv and title is "my galaxy nexus won't boot..") of the same problem that I have, but the posted solution doesn't work for me.
So far, I have entered Coin Mode and pressed Start. Entered Fastboot mode and gone into Recovery Mode (no options appear after that. it just starts booting up and the loop begins), and I've also tried Restart Bootloader.
I've almost given up. Now all I want is to extract my SMS, if they're still on my phone. I can't access the folders on my computer because it won't boot up and connect. Is there a way that I can extract my SMS by using DOS in either Coin Mode or Fastboot mode?
Or even better, does anyone have a solution to this boot loop problem? I'll contact Negri Electronics tomorrow and hopefully they can send me a replacement.
Please help!! Thanks
that problem just started happening with me an hour ago!!
i hate this!!
we need a solution please!
Hey guys, sorry about the issue.the major problem I see here is you wanting to retrieve your txt messages, which might be possible with a little Modding, but if yourwilling to lose them to get a working phone back, then this is what your going to have to do. Make sure your phone is completely off. Hold the 2 volume buttons and the power button together. You will get into a mode with an android Guy. Press the volume button up or down until it says reboot recovery at the top. Press the power button. It will rebootand come to a screen with an android. Hold volume up,down and power at the same time. A menu will come up. Go down to wipe data. Click it, and after it is done reboot. Your phone should work now.
If this helped you, or you simply appreciate me taking the time to write this out then please press the thanks button
Hey!
Thanks. Yeah I 'fixed' it already. I was just about to post something similar. After a while I just gave up on trying to recover my data. Good thing that Google syncs everything so the only issue would be recovering my messages, which I decided weren't worth sending it in for a repair which would probably not be able to recover anything anyway.
The thing I didn't know about was to press power + volume up WHILE on the recovery screen. I thought navigating to the recovery screen was it!
Still, this kind of sucks. I love my GNex, but I can't help but be slightly pissed seeing that my crappy iPhone 3GS never did this in the 2 years I had it. Oh well, hope it doesn't happen again!
hey guys! i also did a complete wipe on my phone and got it working again!
but i wonder why this happened in the first place?
last application i installed before the crash was double twist, i dunno why but i feel that it was the reason behind the boot loop!
Sorry for reviving this thread, but I just had this happen to me TWICE!
It happened to me first last Monday, the 23rd - the phone crashed when trying to send an email with an attachment - and went into a boot loop - Google logo would appear, no make it to the animation, and reboot....
I performed a full reset and things worked again. I didn't install all the apps I had before - figuring it must have been due to some app messing with the OS.
Well, it happened again to me yesterday! I was connecting to my bluetooth headset when the phone crashed and went into the boot loop. Full reset worked again, and I've installed even fewer apps - essentially only those that I use on a daily basis.
My phone is still on 4.0.1 and I'm hoping once 4.0.4 is pushed this may get resolved? I have a canadian GNex from Negri. I will call them again (I called the first time, but when the full reset worked I never contacted them again).
I would like to this this is a software issues, and not hardware.
I have the same problem. If you figure it out let me know.
Today my phone also entered a boot loop: [Google logo]->[black screen]->[vibration]->[Repeat]
I tried Recovery Mode, but this is what happens: (sorry for the link but I am not trusted with powerful tools such as outside links apparently, as I have not yet reached the maturity of a person with eight posts... )
dl(dot)dropbox(dot)com/u/53568097/Android.jpg
This is what I see when I navigate to Recovery Mode
For a split second I can see an image of an Android with spinning cogs in his innards, but then this little sad fellow appears. WTF is this?
EDIT:
Oh, and I'm running Android stock 4.0.2, never rooted or unlocked, Swedish. At the time when the phone started doing this, I was using Endomondo, and was about to set off on my bike when it died on me.
Stock ROM galaxy nexus bootlooping after wiping data also.
Hi,
My GNex went into a bootloop so i searched xda and found that factory reseting would be helping my prob. But after wiping the data also its still in going through the loop . Please help .:crying:
Hey guys,
I have a really strange display issue with my Galaxy R.
I'm on CM10.1 nightly and already tried different nightlies with factory reset and wipe data/cache.
If the phone is not used for a while (sometimes even after 30 minutes), meaning it is on and screen is off, the display won't turn on anymore.
So I press the power button and the capacitive buttons light up, but the screen stays completely black.
Today I noticed that I can even use the touch screen and I could hear all sounds, I even managed to open the dialer and start typing blindly and it would make the dial sounds.
But whatever I try, the screen won't turn on.
Also, it seems when I'm connected to a charger and/or connected to wifi, this problem doesn't seem to occur.
Then I have no choice but to remove the battery, but then often I can't even start the phone.
Sometimes it takes some minutes, sometimes a really long time until I can start it again.
Usually the battery isn't drained, this only happened once.
This occurs after I dropped the phone twice, so it might be related to that.
(Though before I've also dropped it and this never happened.)
Any ideas?
flash stock ics and see if problem persists.
once i flashed a custom rom and faced this issue, reverted to stock and now my device is running with zero issues.

I tried to find the stock rom online, but all links seem to be down.
Do you know where I can get it?

You need to register and then download from here.
Thanks for that, I installed newest stock rom.
Could boot fine, set up the phone, put it to the side.
One hour later I checked it - same problem again.
Capacitive buttons flaring up, screen not.

Then you should visit SSC. They can only repair your device.
Okay so i cracked the screen on my phone, i buy another HD to swap screens since i can't turn mine in to insurance because i can't get the new one unlocked. Once i installed the new screen my phone will get to the CyanogenMod boot screen, load for varying amounts of time, and then keep rebooting until it decides it's ready and fully boots up to CM11. I've tried factory reset and full data wipe but it still doesn't fix the problem. Is it possible to get a logcat of the boot sequence to see what's making it hang and bootloop?
Disregard folks, i opened up the phone to double check the ribbon connections since the proximity sensor/light sensor wasn't working either. Turns out the main ribbon wasn't all the way connected, re-hooked it up and the thing booted up first try.
This issue make absolutely no sense to me, and only started yesterday.
First, I am stock, unrooted, no mods, no crazy sideloaded apps, just a good old Nexus 5.
When I go to wake the phone, I have noticed that the lock screen is 100% unresponsive. I cannot enter a pattern lock. I then switched to a PIN lock, thinking maybe there was an issue with the pattern. Again, unresponsive screen. So I took my screen lock off completely, thinking there is maybe an issue with the lock screen in general. Again, even with no lock screen, I cannot swipe screens, open apps, nothing. This also includes the soft keys at the bottom.
I decide to factory reset my phone. I update only my Google apps, and again notice the same issue. The screen is totally unresponsive, but then 2 white lines will flash at the top, and the screen will work.
Once those white lines flash, the screen is completely responsive like normal, there are no other issues until the phone goes to sleep again. Sometimes the little lines flash 2 seconds after waking up, sometimes 30 seconds, sometimes I have to hard reset the phone.
I also am linking to a YouTube video that I recorded of the issue in case I am not making sense.
So can anyone explain this to me? What could cause this issue on a phone that has never been rooted or flashed or anything?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Weird. Issue. Maybe you should stick everything from your sd to your pc.
And flash a factory image from fresh install from here - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images - if you're lucky the drivers maybe corrupt and not the hardware
Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
Could also be a loose connection. Maybe the flex cable to from your screen wiggled its way out a bit. I've never seen that before on any phone. I'd back everything up and flash a factory image. If the issue persists, contact Google and see if you can RMA the device.
