Hello,
In the last few months, I have experienced a strange problem:
Sometimes, when I turn off the ringer and use on vibration, the phone seems to stuck on this mode even if I turn the ringer back on. I cannot play any kind of sound until I restart my phone. To solve this problem once and for all, I have performed hard reset, however the problem persists.
I miss very important calls as a result of this problem, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
I remember a friend having this issue. I seem to remember the solution.
explore to application data/volatile and delete all files within folder and soft reset.
If you don't feel safe about it first copy or move all files to a new folder on your sdcard before deleting.
hope it helps.
good day.
I saw this solution in another forum and it did not work. Besides, I had performed a hard reset so all my phone memory was deleted, however the problem returned.
Maybe the problem is on the SD card or something.
What type of results do you get plugging the head phone adapter in and out? But only when the lack of sound occurs.
And any suspect software installs recently?
good day.
I need to wait until the problem reoccures to check with the headphones.
The softwares installed on my device are:
Opera mobile
Opera mini
SPB Time
SPB Mobile
S2U2 (I have unistalled it for now to check if it has something to do with my problem)
* I think the problem began after I had restored my phone using SPB backup a few months ago, however I am not sure 100%
Thanks again
First post but have been reading this forum for a long time. This be the first time I have ran across an issue that has not been covered already on this forum or really any other. So here's the issue(s):
I have a stock X5 that is stuck on the Minix boot screen. I've made no attempts at modifying this device. This happened after watching some shoddy torrents of Breaking Bad. I had been noticing significant lag with the device prior to the downloads. Nothing other than standard media, social networking and gaming apps installed......there is a task killer on the device, the name escapes me at the moment.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Unplug all external devices (keyboard, external hard drives and removed SD card) and power up. Boot issue remains.
2. Unplug (then replug) power supply and start. Boot issue remains.
3. Hold reset button with pin and power up. DROID laying down with red triangle and exclamation comes up for a minute or two then it goes to the indef boot screen.
4. Held in reset button, power button and had girlfriend plug in the device. (I had no delusions of this doing anything but it stopped the gf's nagging to get it fixed for a while. I'm an electronics tech.....apparently that is the same thing as a programmer in her eyes.)
5. I've left the boot screen on for about 48 hours. Obviously this didn't fix anything.
6. Hooking the device up to my Samsung 7.7 tab. It turns on Android debugging on my tab but I really had no idea where I was going to go once I connected the devices. I just now thought of this and am planning on exploring this option a bit more with some searches. I'm quite sure there are no guides for working with these two specific devices though.
Hooking up to a computer to deal with recovery is not an option for me. I am not in the US and access to computers (other than an Internet cafe) is not an easy task. I am going to bet this is the best fix for most though.
My tab is rooted running PAC ROM if that is worth anything. This is currently my only real option for hooking up to another device. Hope to get some ideas here.
Hmm, so no one has any ideas? If using a comp is the only way can someone post how to recover an X5?

In case you didn't know, there is an (un)official Minix forum. May be they can help. (link)
Also, SomeCoolTech in YouTube has done a video on how to flash Minix X7. That could also be helpful.
Thanks for the reply. I was able to find someone to let me borrow their computer. Flashed the Finless ROM and it got it running again. The thing is not running smoothly though.
I had all kinds of issues then sent it in for rma, new x5 works perfectly, that is likely your best option. could you elaborate on your specific issues I am curious?
Hello, Xda. I'm new to this forum but I have been lurking the site for a while now. Anyway, I have this Alps iPhone 5 clone. Rooted it and since I'm still kind of new to smart phones I thought deleting the default launcher wouldn't be a problem since I was using another launcher (Espier), all would be fine and dandy and wouldn't give me any problems. But then the phone just wouldn't boot up properly and it just stays at the Apple logo unless it gets connected to my pc and let the usb connection confirmation to show. I just had to disconnect again and or just press back then it would let me choose Espier as the default launcher and now without the default iPhone home launcher. This became a pain so I thought all will be good when I do a factory reset. But was I wrong. Now it would still be stuck at the boot screen and still have to connect it to my pc but now it has no launcher, I can go as far as the camera and gallery from the lock screen, get to the notifications bar if I swipe fast enough but can't really do anything but change brightness, time out, etc. I figured the phone's apps are there but there just isn't a launcher to show them to me, so I tried sending me an sms with a link for a launcher download and tried sending me the app from another phone via bluetooth but I get no signal and even if the bluetooth is on it never finds any other devices. I've been googling around for the past 2 days but haven't really gotten far since not many people have this kind of phone. Best solution I found is using adb but it just ate me up when I tried using it. Any suggestions? Help would be gladly appreciated.
TL;DR - Flashed a ROM designed for N3+ (which is supposed to be same phone) but touch screen is unresponsive now. Need help with SP MDT or editing uboot
EDIT 15. July, 2014.: I've asked a guy from www.NeedRom.com to tell me his LCM driver and touchscreen which are located in factory mode (VOL- + HOME + POWER). He gave me same driver names as mine. LCM driver is RX_5720TM_813a and touchscreen is ili2113a.
I've tried removing the digitizer from my phone (lost warranty, but **** it, i'm not sending it back to china) and when i've entered factory mode again, it said touchscreen: (null).
So it seems that digitizer is properly attached (and should be working?).
Does anybody have a clue what's going on here? I've tried flashing 15 ROMs and NONE fixed the touchscreen. It's fully unresponsive. It doesn't work even if I off/on the screen few times like it worked before.

Hello everyone, like title says I have unresponsive touchscreen on my Star N9800 phone. It's pretty much a new phone, octa core, quad core GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, etc.
What I've done is I flashed the ROM designed for Star N3+ (which is supposed to be same phone) but my touch screen is unresponsive ever since then. I've googled and read some articles on xda about SP MDT. It's a tool which can help us choose the display driver we want the phone to run with. I actually ran into a problem when i downloaded SP MDT. I can select the database etc, but when i get to scatter file it just doesn't want to load it. Either it's incorrect name or file type. I've downloaded 3 original ROMs from needrom.com and strangely the scatters seem to be different. But none is accepted by SP MDT. I need someone of knowledge who can teach me where to find uboot and how to edit it correctly. I'm not a linux/android programmer and I really don't wanna get involved into much programming. I understand basic stuff, i can find files on the system, i can edit build prop correctly, remove or edit boot_logo, boot anim etc, but this is a bit more than that. 2
Please share some knowledge with me and please don't point me to google. There's no solution there, i've googled for 3 days now. The last resort for me is to make a post here (and hopefully don't get ignored for spamming because this isn't spam).
My email is: [email protected] - you can notify me here if I don't get automatically emailed by xda.
Thanks in advance.
BUMP
Have no solution but would like to learn as well if anyone can help us...
I had the same issue but gave up and flashed another rom instead.
Flashing another ROM didn't help my problem. Well partially it did. I've flashed 2014-1-7 original N9800 ROM and the touchscreen only needs 1 or 2 off/ons till it starts working. I'm kinda fine with it because it was completely unusable. Flashing drivers with SP MDT didn't really help. I've tried flashing RX5720TM_828A (from N3+ ROMs) and LP057APK (default in N9800 ROMs) and RX5720TM_813A (2nd in N9800 ROMs), and so far my touchscreen works only with 813A LCM driver. When i turn off the phone and then hold VOL- & POWER & OFF/ON it goes to factory mode. There i clicked version and it showed that 813A is installed as LCM driver, BUT touchscreen says (null). Could it be that my digitizer is no longer connected or what? Cuz it sometimes works correctly without turning the display off/on at all.
EDIT 15. July, 2014.

Even if i boot into recovery, screen doesn't react to touches.

Apparently it's the calibration which ****ed up my phone. I'm now trying to figure out how to calibrate the screen through CWM.
ever find a solution?
i have a star n9800 too. suddenly i have been having all of the same issues, but here is the kicker: i never flashed anything but the stock rom that came with my phone, which was the same as kitkat version available on needrom.com. i have tried full factory resets, i have restored my original backup, none of it has fixed my phone. in factory mode, everything tests fine, but even when i launch in to TWRP, about 75% of the time, my touch doesn't work. i am wondering if one of the cables inside has come loose or something, but it is so intermittent that i find it doubtful.
hopefully you have found a solution that you can share with me.

Touchscreen - hardware failure
Hi,
I am wondering if you may have experience and be able to help me with my Star N9008 phone which has has had its touch screen stop working while I had it in storage for about 3 months.
Very well stored, no shock, no humidity. I keep it with my laptop backpack as a spare in case my everyday phone fails.
Today I powered it up to make sure battery was good (found it good at 95%) and update applications, etc. Basically, just checking it was still good to serve as a backup should I need it.
Thing is, I found the touch screen is completely unresponsive. Connected a mouse to it and verified all was working good, did up the updates, etc.. using the mouse. Reboot and boot into service mode and restore menu. Also, no touchscreen response (I use TWRP). Thus, it must be hardware failure.
From experience, would you know what would cause this, and how to resolve?
Thank you.
So, its been a while.
So, it's been a while. I still have the phone in storage and pity it doesn't work...
I haven't bothered opening up the phone if I don't know what to really try and also risk damaging it.
Also didn't bother ordering a new digitizer to replace as it's economically unviable.... the phone is now really getting behind as new tech is further evolving, so I do unfortunately see it going in the rubbish soon (along with two brand new batteries I had purchased for it just before it died).
Has anyone been successful at finding the culprit?
In my case, it was fine and very well stored... so I don't really have an explanation other than the phone possibly having a 'countdown timer' to break it... (yeah, a bit too conspiratorial, lol)
I did not find a solution yet , phone still sits in storage
Greetings xda-developers,
I own a galaxy tab 2 P3100 16GB model since march 2013 (pretty old yeah, but i like it, its my first tab ) It is running everything stock (recovery plus OS, JB 4.1.2).
It was working all good and serving good for my browsing, whatsapp, mails, youtube, hotstar etc etc. (heavy user of tab) Suddenly on one fine Sunday morning it restarted by itself. I thought this to be normal but it wasn't. After every 10 to 20 seconds I could hear the starting tone. When i looked to the tab, it was pretty warm on the left side where it usually does when used heavily, but it was acting strange.
The tab was restarting by itself! The home screen appears, i could start an app and suddenly it restarts and this continues every 20 seconds until the battery goes low.
I thought two new installed apps would e problem so i removed them and to my surprise(!), they were back again after next 'auto restart'. The 'auto restart' stuff happened back in January this year (after my nephew installed many games on it) but was solved when I did factory reset from settings menu.
But this time nothing successful. Neither factory reset from settings menu nor from recovery. I have tried using twrp and CM11 last year but returned to stock after few months.
I tried flashing twrp, cwm recoveries but after every boot it returns to stock. Even flashing OS didn't helped.
My problem is similar to these:

and
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627490
and
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/unable-to-install-twrp-t3696545
Also the stock recovery screen shows the following at bottom:
# Manual Mode #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/default_workspace.xml'(No data available)
(I wanted to attach image to this post but could not find an option.)
From all my readings on this forum, I can conclude (?) that its an emmc issue (end of life?).
Need your help guys.
The tab is in excellent condition except this issue. Can this be solved?
I am from electronics and embedded system (microcontrollers) profession and hobbyist. I know replacing emmc or motherboard (or scrapping the tab, NO! i don't want to though i now own the Lenovo tab 4 8 plus 3GB RAM+16GB version ) is an obvious solution.
A (may be obvious) possibility came in my mind if external memory card could be used for booting and I (and many others) could bring their tab to use (instead of making it a paperweight )
I though this to be possible solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/general/discussion-alternative-tab-2-emmc-bug-t3306862
but i am not able to understand the instructions and the links posted by OP are not functional.
Can this be a solution:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866675
OR
I am thinking of this:
I got schematics and service manual for p3100 from internet. I looked the datasheet for OMAP4430. I am thinking whether the boot sequence can be changed (or may be no need to change the sequence) and we can boot from external micro SD card
or something like
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312391
or can https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109044 be used?
But whenever i plugged my tab in windows without battery or with battery, initially i could see new device found 'OMAP....' something but immediately after 2 or so seconds it shows device unplugged.
Any comments guys?
Thanks for reading patiently the long write up...
You can't boot from external SD because you aren't able to flash a high modified boot.img if your emmc got read only.
You'll need to replace the emmc or find someone who can flash an updated emmc firmware via isp (but the issue might come back in short time after firmware update).
Thanks for reply.
Well i have to search someone from my nearby city for such service.
Is it not possible booting from external even if the boot sequence is changed, i mean if hardware is modded to change boot sequence?
Humm but it will require the primary and secondary bootloaders then...
The pandaboard has increased by curiosity of such possibility. I think i need to study more...
