SOLVED!!! [Q] Help! Nexus S won't turn on!!! :(

Hi everyone.
Last night I went to bed and as usual I check my Nexus S battery.
It indicated me very low battery, and turn it off.
So far, no problem, i thought, well there isn't enough battery to turn on the phone. I connected the cellphone to the wall charger and went to sleep.
Today i woke up and try it to turn it on, the screens just flashes and nothing happens.... Removed battery, try it again, the same.
Try 100 times that, and there was one time a Warning of Bootloader came up. Don't know what i did different thought, but now i can't get the same result.
Actually now the screen doesn't even flashes when i press the power button.
The battery seems to be charged, i tested with a LED. My wall charger is also working cause it's able to charge my old phone.
And now to get things even worse, as i bought it in asia, i don't have warranty, and the gran finale, Nexus S is not been sold in Brazil due to some regulatory issues, so Samsung said it they can't help me with an imported product.
The Cellphone is brand new, doesn't have not even ONE month of use.
It's not rotted, and it was in the latest android firm.
Does anyone have any idea what can i do????
The phone doesn't respond to anything .
Tnks a lot in advance.
PROBLEM SOLVED!!! SEE THE LAST THREAD. BR!

Is it showing full bars when you connect the charger and press the volume button?

dude, i think there is something wrong with our country. take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111761
i think you tried everything possible, can't see what else you could do. Looks like a hardware issue..
if i were you, i'd claim for warranty, even if you bought in hk, it has warranty, of course you will lose shipping cost, but, it's better than lose the phone! =o]
good luck!

GchildT: Nothing happens when i connect the charger to the cellphone.
Already tried the hard reset (volumn up + power button) nothing happens
thiagodark: Tell me about it, i read this thread ealier this morning, actually i send it a private message asking him if he solve his problem... samsung is really disappoint me.
The thing i found most said is that the phone is bran new! Not a month year old.
And i didn't do anything, not even rotted, dropped, anything!

PROBLEM SOOOOOOOOOOOLVED!!!
The problem was that there was a little tiny piece of plastic dirt in the usb male plug in the phone! And that piece was able to make a faulty contact with the charger, the phone battery was dead as hell.
Can you believe that?????
I almost sent my phone across the world in order to use the warranty.
Now I'm back with my cellphone up , happy as hell!
Tnks a lot, and remenber to always clean everything before use more drastic measures.

Phone gone wonky

Hi guys.. I was loving my phone until yesterday... I was on ics and the phone was super smooth..
Then my stupid cousin poured water oñ me..
Since then the touch has become very unresponsive.. I have to press many times just to type a small word..
Also, the phone randomly shows charging when it isn't çonnected to the charger!!!! Please help guys..
Sent from my Galaxy R

I think it is H/W issues better to take it Samsung Service Center.....

This is an hardware issue has happened with me. Your usb port must have gone faulty. When my usb port had water in it had to be changed and they charged me 2000rs for it they will have to change the entire usb component of otherwise the touch of your phone won't respond to correctly!!!
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app

OK...but here's the funny bit... when I blow into the charging port (made sure I was only blowing dry air) the touch becomes as responsive as it was initially.. then returns back to its sad state in a couple of mins..
Screen shot attached shows it working fine after blowing..
I don't have a spare phone so giving it to ssc will be my last option..
Sent from my Galaxy R

Use hairdryer and blow hot air in usb port. It should solve ur issue.
Don't blow for long time it may make ur port very hot and can damage ur hw.

He said blowing DRY AIR, he didn't memtioned it was hot air which can vaporize wetness.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but the hair dryer just isn't doing the trick...
Anymore tips guys? Should I try opening the phone? Would ssc know?

why are you taking so much pain ??
if ur phone is covered under warranty then let the ssc people do it..
but if u want to experiment, you are free to do so...!!

Okay... a friend suggested I keep my phone over night in a jar of rice to absorb the moisture.. if it doesn't work then I'm off to ssc tmr.. I won't open it up..
Thanks for the help everyone..
Btw: surprisingly, it works fine when on charging.. I'm really clueless to the cause of the issue..
Sent from my Galaxy R

If water has gone inside then ssc will come to know because there is a waste strip inside which detects inrush of water inside the phone. If they are charging you high for the same then u can always try by yourself but be careful.

Its a common trouble with galaxy r....i experienced a similar one and just gave to ssc they solved in 2 days they changed whole lcd screen and charging port and didn't charge anything....just dnt tell them abt water and other stuff and get back to GB before giving to ssc

[Q] [Help]Canvas 2 Touch gone mad

Canvas 2 touch gone mad, it itself do anything (looks like it is over sensitive and the air touches it) it randomly starts doing anything
yesterday night as the battery was low i thought to put it off and i turned it off (very hard to turn it off as it touched anything) and at the day i found some sound coming from mobile (the selection sound was on from the sound profile) then i saw it was doing sms and the keyboard was swiftkey it was swypeing all around (has ghosts are doing it)
Plz help
Tried different rom but it was all around and in recovery also the touch sometimes stop responding (TWRP)
[Solved]
Shown it to the Service Center and replaced the touch screen...[Solved]

Hey try flashing cwm recovery as it is not touch sensitive i.e. u have to use ur volume keys and power key to operate it.
Then flash other custom roms and if nothing happens u can flash stock rom via sp flash tools to get ur warranty back. Then u can get it repaired via service centre.:thumbup:

Don't charge ur mobile near television set...
Never Charge your mobile near television or any electronic device which having producing ecectro-magnetic radiation, which is strong near by this devices.... I got same problem, then i observed that this happens whenever i repeatedly charge my phone nearby my television. Then i stop doing this. I switched off my phone, took battery out kept it like this for 3-4 hours. then switched on. it showed very little ghost touches at first. after 1 days of using phone without charging near by television, GHOST TOUCH completely dissapeared, Since then(2 months) i didn't experienced such Ghost Touches. Hope information may help.

Good observation:thumbup:
I never thought of even such a reason..

exactly causes of electro-magnetic radiation..

I had a similar problem. I was told at the service center that it is because of sweat or water on the finger tips. After a few weeks display became corrupted. This was not covered under warranty and had to be paid for (Rs. 2200/-). Now 1 month after changing display, touch has become non responsive. This was happening in cold climes only(Bangalore) or when I spent the night in a A/C room. Used to correct itself on exposure to sunlight for 10-15 mins. Today I took it to the service center and he fixed it so that touch stopped working all together. Now I'll have to send it for replacement which will take 25-30 working days. Should never have bought Mmx. Cheap Chinese rebranded stuff.

did you finally get your device back from the service centre?
In how many days did they finally return your phone?

Yaa I got my phone after 28 days

Since the problem is not created by you, you shouldnt be charge anything. The phone also needs to be within the warranty period.
The same issue happened with my friend and his phone was under warranty. He was not charged anything. However he go the phone after 47 days.

@Killer.shubham i think 2 things you should never do, keep the phone close to television, fridge or microwave, it can misbehave. Always use an original charger if possible, those chinese ones can cause this, i have had the same problem with my Blackberry. That dup charger used to even charge faster but later on when i realised what damage it was doing, i stopped using it.

I would like to add my observation.
I have seen this behaviour particularly while charging my handset in a railway coach.
So I have to switch-off my handset while charging.

[Q] Micromax A110Q responds as if touched here and there

I bought the smartphone about 10 months back, so it is very much in the warranty period.
Recently, the phone started showing some problems. It responds to touches that are not even made.
It is very hard to explain.
Say an invisible man using your phone and all you see is the screen responding to his touches!
Please reply asap.
i have heard the service centers don't pay heed to your problems. is that, by any chance, true?

Is it rooted? does it have a custom rom/kernel?

Does this happen when connected to a charger?
Try cleaning the screen... make sure it isnt wet

this usually happens when you use a bad battery or a local charger for long time, if you are not using mmx charger then try charging your device via pc, this might solve the problem after some time, but the best thing is claim the warrenty

charge your mobile form mmx charger properly and lock the screen every time you don't use the phone. if your mobile is root just restore it.

Bad charger or Moisture
Bad Charger or moisture could be the culprit. You can try USB charging for some time say 5 days to solve the bad charger problem. For the moisture problem i always do this. I put the phone without battery and opened in a bag of raw rice. and then reassemble it in after a few hours. This can be done for wet phone also, i mean say u got drenched in rain with the phone in your pocket. so its better to do this before switching on the phone. I am told it takes care of static current if any.

Mi4 Screen Problem

The screen was perfectly good untill yesterday, and today morning when i woke up I saw vertical lines on the display. Tried turning it off, removed temper glass but the problem is still there. When the mobile is turned on from sleep, the display is perfectly fine but the lines appear slowly after 2 seconds. So is this a major or a minor hardware or a software problem. I have also posted the screenshots.
Thanks.

Is it there during booting?

No, not during the boot, turned out it was damaged screen, and the service center is charging me for the screen even though there is no physical damage. They say it was internal damage, you can't see it, but we know it. Is it true?
I think it comes under abnormal screen and it is covered under warranty.

Today I gone to adjust brightness of screen but I don't know suddenly display is fully black, I cant do anything. please suggest how can I repair it?

Bro, don't visit normal service centers they are not good and mostly they have very poor service, I would suggest you to use pickmi service and send the phone to them, they will resolve the issue and send your phone back faster than normal service center guys, my phone battery was not charging, I got it fixed in 15days in which there were Diwali holidays also.
Try that bro.
