I could do with some help,
Basically, I replaced the screen, digitiser and case (was all one unit) today and since then my S3 has been nothing but trouble. The problems im getting are: volume buttons dont work, no sound, cant answer calls, cant use the mic, cant use the camera, wifi stalls, phone vibrates every 10 seconds, restarts alot, cant listen to music. I can however make and receive a few texts and can navigate round the phone without a problem.
Anyone have any idea what has caused this?
All help will be appreciated

Just got it. Looks great and all functions seem to work except if left for a bit, the device seems to freeze with a blank screen, but the green network signal LED still flashes every few seconds as normal.
The display is off, and all buttons don't work when it's like this and a battery out job is needed to reboot and get it back to working.
Everything will be fine until it times out or whatever and goes into this hibernation/semi dead mode.
This seems odd as I thought most phones these days allowed emergency calls in most standby modes. No keys work so no 999's for me when this is being like this.
Have I missed something obvious or is it a proper fault?
Please help as I need to send it back asap if it's a faulty phone.
Thanks,
Joe
Just to add, it has just frozen again but this time on the today screen. No keys active, and when I call the phone number it rings on the phone I call from, but nothing happens on the v1240.
Update: I also bought another as a gift, it doesn't do this and the faulty phone has been returned as I am away from the UK with work for some time soon.
Topic can be closed now - it's a hardware fault.
Hello all...
just got my polaris last month. everything was ok, the phone was NEVER been dropped or what so ever. i treated it like my baby. but sometimes something weird happened. my polaris keeps vibrating when there is incoming message. and it keeps vibrating until i have to soft reset it. anything else wont do. the X button, task manager etc. everything in my polaris is original. anyone had this problem before? please help!
thank you
It has happened to me a couple of times.
I've no idea why, I have also treated my phone gently as is my custom with all my technology. There do not seem to have been any side effects though and it has only happend twice since i got the phone three months ago.
I don't think it's much to worry about.
*fingers crossed*

No, that won't help. Got the problem 3 times now, i think, in more then 6 months. Got the problem with the original, bepe and with the latest udK Diamond ROM. Just soft-reset and wait till the next time it happens
If your phone gets stuck vibrating, you can turn off the vibration by triggering an event that causes a vibration (instead of having to reboot the device). I used to have to send myself a text message (I have my phone set to vibrate for incoming texts) and that would do the trick. Now with the latest S2U2 builds with the volume control enhancement, I just use that to turn vibrate on and off (it will vibrate when you turn it to vibrate) and that does the trick as well.
hmm...i guess there is no absolute solution to this problem.
My HTC Cruise got splattered with beer last night and now its constantly vibrating, i mean...even if i turn off the device it still does it. Tried soft and hard reset, dry, clean, dry again and nothing happened, still the same. It only stops when i remove the battery of course.
The weird thing is that it vibrates in a less strong way than normal vibration. is this a known issue? How do i solve it? doest it have anything to do with the water detector on this type of phones?
Please, someone help me its really anoying to have a phone vibrating like that in my pocket lol. Thank you in advance.
Hope I am placing this in correct place, but my headphone buttons have stopped responding,can't answer call, play, anything but sometimes they respond the next day to commands made and run through them all at once really strange and annoying. Does anyone have an idea how this could be fixed, all settings are correct and I've even done factory reset.
mine is unrooted 3g sensation.
HELP ME PLEASE!! Phone doesnt work at all, I'm so frustrated dont know what to do =(
Hello! I'm Nicolas, from Chile. And i own a Xiaomi Mi4 Since March2015.The thing goes like this, since May the screen had a fringe/bar where the touch sensor stopped working, this was NEVER a problem, because it was an area that we never use. But 2 days ago, i pressed the power button to turn on the screen and put my password, but the screen went mad and showed just fringes with lots of colors, then it barely showed the password screen, then colors again and etc, sometimes it worked fine for like 10 seconds, and it crashed again. The phone started working awfully slow, i mean, with like 4 seconds delay for EVERYTHING, i couldnt use it!!. Sometimes it worked just fine then the screen went mad again, with fringes and dots and black or blank screens. I never did hit the phone in the process, not any kick, nothing, the screen just stopped working, all black. The next day i changed the screen (because i thought there was a problem with the screen cause it was previously with an issue, and i thought the ultra laggy system was a problem with the screen or something, that the incredible lag/delay was because the screen). And the thing is when i changed the screen, a brand new one, the exact same thing happened, nothing works, it is alive because i can screencast the phone on my laptop, but it keeps running incredibly slow, it is too slow i cant even open whatsapp without waiting 2 minutes... I cant even put my password smoothly, because it is so laggy and delayed, that if i press the number "1" it shows up on the screen like 4 seconds later... And i mean it shows up << on the laptop screen>> (not to forget the brand new screen doesnt work neither)... So it is a problem with the processor? the ram? the adreno 330? what? Please i need help, i cant afford a new phone =(.
Plus info: Everything seems to be connected alright, i did the replacement myself watching lots of videos, and everything is simple and i think well done, the phone is still alive, but controlling it by the laptop, screen doesnt work, wifi doesnt work (its like there is no adapter anymore...), 3g signal doesnt work, it does not even recognize my phone company it says no service, I controled it by the laptop and now is playing music at full volume...
I didnt know where to post this, sorry if misplaced.
HELP ME PLEASE!! I would be so thankful! =(
Hello.
My wife dropped her Z3 earlier today for the second time in as many months! But midway through getting the screen replaced, I decided to buy her a new phone. As the repair shop had already started the job, her phone is now pretty much unusable, no display or touch function.. I've managed to reassemble it enough to get the battery light on to see that it is charging, and I can feel vibrations on the button press, and my PC detects the phone. It was totally stock, not modded at all. It had a pattern swipe lock on it.
My question is, can I get her text messages off of the phone?
Is there any way at all to access and retrieve them via USB connection?
Thank you for any help.
Hi all - I'm still trying to find a response to this. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I have tried to fit a new display but the new display was not responsive and did not illuminate too. If I can get this to work I can release the passcode and access the phone to recover the SMSs, but so far, no luck.
