Hello,
I have a problem with the Keyboard vibration on my Sensation.
This is the story. I currently have a HD2 with Android CM7 (ACA) i really like it but i want a better camera. The one in the HD2 simply sux. Thats the only bad thing about that phone.
A Friend of mine had a sensation witch is 1-2 months old. He wanted a iphone 4S so i bought the phone. (he turned the vibration off @ day 1 do i dont know is this problem was alway's there)
I did not try the stock rom yet but in any other rom: ARHD, IncertCoin, Energy, LeeDroid i have the same problem.
My Keyboard vibration will stop working same goes for vibration when being called. I tried multiple roms, kernels and Radio's.
That had no effect. I also tried: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/fix-htc-sensation-unresponsive-screen-issue-diy-guide/
But that did not help. What i did find out is the following:
-If the keyboard does not work i remove the the battery cover and it works again.
-It will also keep working as long as i keep the cover removed. If i put it back on it will keep working for a little while before it stops again.
-If i put paper between the silver connector on the side it wont make a difference it works for a while and then stops.
-If i put paper between the bottom copper connector it works better. Sometime it stops but it seems to work a bit longer. And if it stops it sometimes will come back without removing the cover. I still have a phone signal and wifi signal.
Does anyone know what that bottom antenna is for? I heard more people have this problem. Does anyone know what is causing it?
Thanks in advance!
Update. The bottom Antenna is the GPS Antenna.
Covering that is no fix for the problem only seems to improve it a bit.
If i cover one of the top antenna's it does not work at all.
the one at the top is for the Wifi and telephone. the one below that i dont know yet. But i still had a signal when that was covered.
Update 2:
I think i found the problem. The vibration motor is located under the Sim card.
When i remove the cover and put presure on the front side just below the back button and the back side on the left side of the sim card near the edge of the phone it does not work anymore.
So i think there is a connection problem with the motor. I'm not pressing on the rotating part of the motor so it could spin if it was working.
I guess i will have to send it in :'(
I used to have a Desire and the vibration would sometimes stop working, I'd just tap the phone with my hand and it would work again. Not ideal really.
I have similar problems. Going to call HTC tomorrow to get it fixed.
Hello all. I have HTC Surround from AT&T with updated 8107 firmware. I have spoted some strage bug (i don't know how else i could call it) and wanted to ask if thisone is possible and if i do think right. So i have this phone for about half a year and i'm pleased with it, nothing happened to it until now. Last week i was typing an SMS message and suddenly it just froze. I tried to restart it but the phone got stuck in the white HTC screen. My firmware then was 7720. I have done the hard reset and everything seemed to be ok but today the same thing happened with updated version too. I thought a bit and remembered that both times my phone was lying on top or near by wireless microphone receiver which was in working state. So can it be possible that some sord of electromagnetic waves is causing my phone to do this? Or it's just a coincidence?
as i'm a developer i didn't this it's a bug ithink it's accidentaly and you were at that place again like other time
But that's quite too big to be jusn an accident. I had this phone for half a year and nothing. Well i'll try this Friday not to put it on top of the receiver and will post what happened. This thing scared my quite big, i thought that mmc is broken but i have checked the bootloader (i don't know how the screen with 4 colors is called, i think it's bootloader) and it showed my mmc working perfectly. If it was not because of microphones what could then be the problem?
OK tried that this Friday too. Same think - phone near the receiver - phone dies and i must hard reset it to work again. How is this possible? Which part of the phone messes?
Very possible that a strong magnet could do this. Internally the surround uses a microsd (there are guides here for upgrading it but taking the phone apart). I imagine a strong enough field could corrupt a microsd pretty easily. When u say wireless mic do you mean bluetooth?
No no no, i mean microphones which are used on stages, i work as a sound engineer and my phone always is close to receivers, close to controlers and other stuf i use. So to avoid further coruptions i should put my phone further from all equipment right?
OK after this other few tries i have found out that it does indeed mess my phone, i have tried holding it near wireless microphone receiver and my phone have frozen and when i placed my phone further from receiver nothing happened. So look out for that

Is frozen screen? Still completely can't use? I feel a little bit like WM6 era's problems. After a certain amount to you. May is hardware have dark disease.
Hey guys, I recently flashed the factory Lollipop image from my Nexus 5 (LRX210) and everything was running great.
Not soon after I set up my Tap & Pay, I realized that I couldn't complete my purchases. I thought maybe it was my Wallet app, or something was wrong with the priority of the wallet app, but that wasn't that case.
I tried beaming content via NFC to many other androids, but it was like my NFC card was dead. I didn't get any feedback from other devices, and even when I scanned a NFC tag it didn't react.
My NFC card was working fine before I went to 5.0, does anyone else have this problem? Really hoping I can get some info about it.
Thanks.
Bump :/

Same here . my sony qx 10 wont conect . my g2 also . nfc is dead
So I guess very few have this issue then?

Try pressing down on the back cover where the qi and NFC connectors are. If that doesn't work then you'll have to open it up or RMA.

I was just reading up on it. Before I upgraded I opened up the back cover to show my friend the internals, then I snapped the cover back on (without pushing the back cover). A week past, then I updated to Lollipop. Another week has past since I upgraded and I just now realized the NFC wasn't working. I got my friend to let me use his wireless charger, and it worked fine. I also tried pushing the back in to hear that extra snap, but nothing has seemed to work.
Edit: I also flashed the factory image for KitKat, and NFC still does not work.
Perhaps I should be more detailed when I say "not working." The NFC does indeed recognize NFC tags and other enabled devices, however it does not vibrate like it should, or work like it should. I have many NFC tags that I bought and were working just fine. I tried them out 1 by 1 with my Nexus, and every time I scanned 1, a white screen would flash for a very brief moment, as if it was a windows opening and then closing before the animation finished. I used the NFC Tools app, and it recognizes the tags, but it can't read, write, lock, or do anything to them. I downloaded an app called NFCSniffer, and I get feedback from tags as well. But it seems as though my NFC chip is not working correctly ever since I opened the back. I'm really confused about this whole situation and wish I hadn't even opened the thing.

Weird. In all the cases I know of, the NFC chip is either completely dead or just not connected properly. Try opening it up and putting it together again. If that doesn't help then I guess you'll have to replace the chip.

Alrighty, I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the responses.
Alright well I guess that didn't work... Can you recommend a good place to buy a chip?

Not sure where exactly one would find them. Just have to search for one, or if they don't exist then I guess you'll have to send it to LG for repair.
Alright, thanks for the info.
I have a problem with my s7 G930F, wifi and moble hotspot are not working at all, when i turn on wifi or hotspot it just showing turning on ..
and when i turn on bluetooth it works for 5 seconds and then keeps switching off and on after every 5 seconds

Check water sticker on botton of sim slot
I had the same issue with a board i fitted to G930F bluetooth wasnt working nor wifi for no apparent reason i went through absolute everything firmware wise and system wise and couldnt figure out what the problem was i then removed everything once again looking for a loose connection it turns out the board i fitted in the top right hand corner there is a silver chip that controls wifi and bluetooth under the antenna there was a small black spot i noticed once carefully cleaned up i found the culprit there are 2 tiny fuses that blew conecting to the wifi chip this chip must also control bluetooth and NFC as that no longer works also.

Do you find a solution

I did find the solution unfortunately it requires the wifi ic chip to be replaced along with the fuses accompanied to the chip on the logic board but that means micro soldering the new chip on the other solution is change the board out when you take the antenna at the top off at the top right is the silver chip look at the circuitry and you should find a black burnt out spot also check the aerial for plastic burn where the chip sits
Thats the only solution available that ive found, not even the factory binary found the issue with the hardware though
That one chip though controls the wifi/bluetooth/android hostspot/NFC funnily enough though even though its blown visually the wifi toggles on still and will every now and then pick a network up for a second, the bluetooth toggles on but will not find any other device and other devices cannot find it either, the android hotspot turns on and broadcasts a signal but when trying to connect to it it will not connect, the NFC toggle is also set to on with the writing and toggle greyed out and NFC apps asking to turn on the chip but it cannot be toggled these are symptoms of the error,
If you would like to inspect your device,
If you dont know what your doing order a new backing i can successfully remove them without cracking them with a hair dryer, screen puller the cheap ****ty ring ones, and a guitar pick,
To start heat the backing of the phone up with hair dryer until its warm/hot next step is my secret trick to pop the watertight seal take the sim tray out and no **** blow into it youll hear the seal break get the ring puller pull it up enough to get the guitar pick in and just slide it all the way round,
Once the backs off theres 3 screws at top on antenna your gonna wanna use a phillips #00 for them once the screws are out get a pair of tweezers and slide them into the slot on the left side of the antenna where the vibrator is and pull up it will probably go flying if you use to much force but it wont break, the circuit and wifi module are now exposed on the top right diagnose the board for burnt spots if there is there, take the NFC chip off below the antenna and then the speaker to expose the charging port check the bottom right hand corner for circuitry burning also.

Hi, I have same problem for long, I tried all software options: factory reset, network reset, hard reset, wipe, firmware upgrade, downgrade,,
I can use NFC without problem but WiFI and Bluetooth are greyed out or stucking on turn on without finding anything.
Could you confirm what is the right IC for it ? I found two different IC number one on Ebay another on Part4reparirs , not sure which one is legit as both claim to be G930 wifi-IC (can't add link as I am new user)
also I would be interested to know where to buy fuse for it
I really miss my phone for few month using spare xiaomi now

Hey mate im a phone technician,
Ive got a few boards qnd broken S7 laying around ill pull one down and take a picture and label it and what not & will post it here for you,
The ic chip isn't actually a fuse its an actual chip which controls the wifi and bluetooth functions of the phone NFC is locted on 2 different part of the board aswell as wireless charging coil etc, so if that stuffed best of getting a new board, but however there is a small thermistor (ThermalTransistor) just before the wifi bluetooth ic hopefully for you its blown that and stopped current before getting to the wifi ic, i will also label this in the diagram
Hopefully in your case its the thermistor youll know anyway if it is will be blown with black or white residue everywhere and your antenna may be partially burnt out in that case, you will also need to check the daughter board for black or white burn residues also in the bottom right hand corner ill take a picture and label again also,
If i cant get the pics up straight away for you its because xda app is being a pain in the ass still and wont let me upload being playing up for a week now

Thanks for reply,, based on your explanation still other thing like antenna fuse thermistor could be damaged and ordering them one by one + shipping is not good idea.. I may better find cheap broken LCD S7 and ask technician to swap the board for me.
still looking forward to the pics... my Insta Gram acc is [at]kian.moments :fingers-crossed:
Owned the phone for about a month now. Phone was working perfectly fine for the majority of this time. I use 2 different sims and they were both working smoothly until recently.
A few days ago, I woke up and the phone wouldn't recognize the Sim cards anymore. I took out the Sim tray, cleaned the Sim cards and the tray as thoroughly as I could and they both started working again. A few days later, I restarted my phone and both of the Sims stopped working again.
This time nothing I would do would solve the matter, so for the next few days the phone wouldn't recognize either Sim. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted, factory reset it and updated it none of which seems to solve the issue.
I use this phone for gaming so last night to my surprise one of the Sims started working (sim was in for a couple of days) and all connectivity was perfectly fine - I tried putting in my other Sim as well but again the phone wouldn't recognize them anymore. Tried putting in only one card on the Sim 1 slot but it made no difference. I don't understand what the issue could be.
Do you have a converted CN version or did you buy a global version? (just curious, as far as I know only CN -> WW versions faced this issue and I would like to know if this is a coincidence or an issue with these versions. But I could be wrong as well)
Nevertheless I would make use of warranty and send it back to Asus to get it repaired.
Yeah it's CN version > WW ROM. It's absurd how randomly it was hit with this issue. Again, the phone was reading a sim card perfectly fine out of the blue last night, then when I took out the Sim tray to insert another card, went back to square one and wouldn't recognize either.
I know.. If you had searched this forum or the rog reddit you would have noticed there are multiple topics like yours and all people explained the very same. Seems totally random.. sometimes it works, sometimes not. Unfortunately no one was ever able to post an accurate answer of why this is the case or how to fix it. At least there is none here, on reddit or the zentalk forums.
Since all device so far were CN -> WW version I don't know any successful case. Asus mostly rejects the support and redirects people to their sellers but those mostly refuse to do something. (they probably know that issue and it's cheaper to do nothing)
I wish you best of luck. Maybe you could try to contact Asus and report the outcome so we finally have a documented successful repair.
Edit: as said, that's only my knowledge, maybe there is a fix and someone found a way but they either didn't publish it or they posted it in a not so well known forum.
I wonder if the connections that touch the SIM are poorly designed. If it is such a widespread issue that randomly seems to come and go, it could be similar to the issue I had with the Kunai 3.
The pins on the side are designed to give a little when sliding the controller off and on the mount or charger. After moving them between the mount and charger twice, some pins fell off and others never popped back into place so they could make a connection. It turns out they never secured the pins well enough to handle it.
Hello, I had a similar issue.
My sim-cards wouldnt be recognized, sometimes only one of them, sometimes both. Additionally, my fingerprint-sensor wasnt working too. By checking pictures of a disassembled phone I could locate the problem inside. It has a connector on the lower end of the phone, which is for sim and FP-sensor. I can definitely and easily come loose.
Quick and dirty fix for me, was pressing with controlled but quite some force on the lower end of the LED-Rog logo while the phone laying flat on the table. I used my thumb, pushed and restarted the phone to check. Didnt work, pushed a bit harder and restarted again until it worked. The back glass has some flex to it, to make it possible to push the connector back in. Still, be careful to not break it, if you try it yourself.
When I found that solution, I've sent it in on warranty for proper fixing with this Information to ASUS. They replaced allegedly the mainboard. But I actually think, they just fixed the connector in place, because bending the phone to a certain degree "unfixed" it in my case again. I dont know, if its the same issue you have, but if it is, hope it helps everyone.

Good tip and glad it worked - this could help a few out there. Perhaps ASUS should have included some instructions explaining how to press/bend the device back in order when it happens ...
I had the same issue and quickly found a fix. I bought a OnePlus 9 Pro and relegated this glitchy piece of junk to my desk drawer. Good riddance.

Paying over $2,000 for a OnePlus 9 Pro seems like an expensive solution, but I am glad it worked out for you. Best of luck over there.

Works like a charm here! Congratz!
Omg worked here too, now I have a Poco F3 AND a revived ROG Phone 5...

You are the mvp. I love this phone and using it for almost a year. Suddenly sim no longer detected. I tried everything, unlocked bootloader, update firmware. Hour and hours of trying to revive it. I even called Asus and they said to call the Chinese warranty support. Then finally came across this thread. Pressed down hard on the lower end of the logo of the phone on its back. Restarted and now it's detecting the sim again. Thank you so much
