I am thinking to buy nexus 5 for very cheap prize.... But it has a problem and i would ask you guys if it is software related or hardware....
When you turn it on, it shows google logo then bootanimation and than just black screen... I am familiar with flashing things and there will not be problems with me if it is software problem really need fast answer...
Thanks in advance...
sorry for bad english.. :cyclops:
I can't say for sure without seeing or playing with it myself, but how cheap are we talking, I mean it is a Nexus 5 lol, check it out, buy it and if flashing a new ROM or stock image doesn't fix it I'll buy it off of u for the same price, I'll use it for part's or fix it myself

so yesterday i returned my moto xoom because it was overheating b4 i even rooted it. i got a nexus s and now it is bricked. 2dasy im going to have 2 return it. can any1 help me figureout a good excuse to tell the future shop return people? looks pritty bad i return 2 devices in less then 24 hours
edit: the last thing i did was flash gri74 back to stock. im guessin the bootloader is my issue. soo my phone technically isnt hacked or unlocked. just bricked so they cant see my device was rooted.
sounds like you overcooked the SNS setting it too high?
did you install any custom ROM ?
have you tried flashing it back to stock?
does the phone turns on at all?
make sure the battery is fully charged

thx thats exactly what i did. grabbed a htc desire hd instead since nexus s is for the advanced user. i consider myself an advanced user but i had major issues wth the nexus s. even after reflashing gir74 or whatever it was called, i didnt have a working radio. which i tried flashing and resulted in a brick. thx alot 4 the advice. and i hope the nexus users create a noob proof guide 4 this phone as if sum1 with as much expierience with android as me is having issues, i can only imagine whut a complete noob would b thinkin about if he tried rooting. check my htc desire noob proof video guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12813521#post12813521
im quite sure if someone creates a thread like this, people will have less issues with the nexus plus the creator will get lots of thx you's and all around respect from the community. just an idea thou. worked 4 me with my desire as i had like 17 thx u's until march 30th when i created the thread. now im up 100 plus 11,000 views. good luck to you all
there are many fool proof guide for the SNS
there's no possible way to brick this phone
Hello everyone,
Im planning to get this phone off craigslist but im afraid that the phone that i am about to purchase is going to have the reboot/freeze issue. Im not worried about the screen bleeding though. So can you tell me an easy way to identify if the phone has this problem? I know il come to know eventually once i purchase it but i wanted to see at the time of purchase from the seller. So please any suggestions are welcome. (some specific manufacturer date, or packaged date or location on the box etc ) any details that will help me if there is any specific pattern for this.
Thanks in advance.
U'll only know after u buy the phone.Save ur $ money,Sensation is just around the corner.

Hmm
Thanks for the response. yeah i have seen that it is coming soon (and i like the way it looks) but i dont want to wait for it a month more(to be available with out contract by the same way).
Also,
1) i want to have an unlocked bootloader as a precautionary measure just incase i get to start to flashing roms
2) Heard that Sense eats lot of RAM and i want an option to remove it if i feel the same
3) Im sure it is gonna cost lot more than the G2x.
4) And i feel G2x's GPU would be powerful than the sensation.
Wat say?..

Yeah tq for the link. it is indeed informative for choosing g2x vs sensation. I am biased towards g2x and stock android. (i have a G2 and i love it). So wanted to know if i can live with those problems incase i get stuck with a bad phone :S. I dont want that to happen

The only thing I can think to do to check the phone is ask the owner not to reboot the phone for any reason and when you go to purchase it look and see how long the phone has been on since reboot and If it doesn't match up with what the owner says it is probably rebooting. I have had two so far and had no real reboot issues plus from what I have read LG is aware of the issue and will be issuing an update soon for the bugs. I also debated on the Sensation but decided to stick with the G2X. Hope this helped
So here's a guy who has gotten both the galaxy s 2 and the htc sensation.
http://www.youtube.com/user/samjpullen
From what hes been saying on twitter and the videos Ive watched i think apart from the animations and ui I think id rather have the g2x
The ui is very ram heavy but its very beautiful so I guess its a trade off.
Apologies if I'm breaking any forum rules here, but Costco currently has the G2X for $49.99 if you are adding a line. You might use this info when dealing with your CL seller! Comes with a car charger and BT headset. I'm off to Costco right now to get one!
tq

I have confidence that the sensation will get root access eventually, but the process to root may be harder compared to say the G2 or the G2x, and that's still an if it gets rooted. Htc and battery life is always an issue, and the sense ui plain sucks. It does not even look good and I don't know why htc insists on making it so you are forced to use it...it should be optional.

if you havent already seen this guy post a lot of videos on the sensation.

My take is I know the dev's will work it out if people actually back it.
but I am un interested....

After reading the title of your post then the content I'm confused.
Why would you want to change the IMEI? In a lot of areas it's illegal unless the manufacturer changes it.
As far your phone misbehaving. If it has happened on more than one phone then it is likely it's because of something your installing.
Do a factory reset after backing up to a PC / Cloud anything you wish to keep.
Try using the phone without installing any additional software for a while and see if the problem occurs, if it doesn't then it's down to a misbehaving app.
If the problem does occur without installing anything else then return it to where you bought it and ask for a replacement / refund.

Ive tried everything with these phones, i have an idea of what could it be but it almost sounds like some spy movie haha you see my older brother and I
Well we dont get along and he just likes to be a little girl and does this. The problem yesterday was the charger this is what id like to know more, what kind a software or how do they use a phone charger and do this?? I called some LG cellphone technician and he just told me to get a new battery and charger but didnt tell me more, i also asked him about the calls why were they not going through or they would drop when the antena was full, i can only call whoever the phone wants not me or maybe someone monitoring?? He also said something abot
About` radio frequencies RF signals something like that. Now what i wanted to do is fight back with a better series of softwares with the help of you guys.,, i do know that one of my brothers friend went to geek tech and bought a program some kind a software on his laptop where he can like get into anything as long as it sends radio waves it sounds like a movie or something but its happenning
Hey guys,
This is my first post, but I have lurked here for a long time. I just have a huge problem I am facing now, and need your input.
Last October, I bought a new LG Optimus G E973 at Bell, in replacement of my (dreaded) iPhone in favor of an android device (customization, developing, etc).
I never really had any issues with it till the other day. The battery died in it, and when I went home to charge it...nothing happened. No blinking red light at the top, no LG logo, nothing at all, literally.
Now I went to Bell and my phone is covered under my Manufacturer Warranty. Only one problem...I have a custom rom and recovery on it. Cyanogenmod, and TWRP.
I am debating on whether or not to send it in to them, because I have tried everything to get it to do ANYTHING, but it just wont...switched chargers, tried to connect to pc, mac, etc.
So I am wondering if I cant turn it on, they wont be able to either, and thus just send me a new phone. Or, they will fix it, turn it on and show that it had CGM and a non-stock recovery, and then maybe charge me for the repair? Or should I just go to a tech and pay however much eh wants foor me to fix it...
I really hope I can send it in to them..as I am quite broke right now, and cannot afford to pay a technician to fix it. I knew that installing CGM and a custom Recovery would void my warranty, and I am not saying that I was clueless to thuis. But do you guys think I have a chance in hell to get it replaced?
Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Gor.
They wont just fix your phone and ask you for money... they will let you know what it's gonna charge you and then do furthur process..
U can very easily claim that u r under warranty and no notification were given to you about the cost...
Anyways... have you tried different battery?
Let me know

Hey, thanks for responding.
Im not quite following you on the whole warranty thing, but I haven no new battery to trry in it. I am under warranty, im just concerned if they will not process it because of the phones software. But is it possible they might just send me a new phone?

Official support for that device was dropped a long time ago, no one currently on the team owns one.
Crap and got ya I'm guessing that also means u don't have a direction to suggest for me to look toward to fix that on a phone in general. It honestly sucks that it was discontinued cuz I do honestly like this phone and can't get new one till tax time and wish I could work out the few issues with this ROM on this phone so after I get new phone I can use this one as gameboy etc.... If u know what I mean but anyway ty for the reply and if u think of anything plz feel free to pass idea

The zmax has been out for over 6 years now and development for it has been dead since about 2016. As far as the stock firmware goes it was never updated past android 4.4. Everything 5.0 and up came in the form of custom roms. As for buying multiple Z970 phones and sending them to people to try to revive development for it, good luck. It was a budget phone from the moment it came out and by today's standards its specs are abysmal. I seriously doubt any developer worth their salt would be interested. The best advice I can give you is to just get a better, newer phone, and if you want custom roms look for one that's already supported. If you need to go back to stock there should be some stock rom zips you can flash through TWRP. I know at one point I had them on android file host, though I haven't checked in years.
