Hey guys/gals, I need someone with hardware knowledge. I've been working with my Fuze for a long time and I pretty much have a handle on everything, well almost. My Fuze had a tragic run in with some rain. I was able to get almost everything to work again after complete disassembly and drying. I know, I was as shocked as you all are! Anyway, as you can see from the title, my g-sensor is the only thing not responding. I'm not afraid to dive into my phone if it's something I can repair, but is it a module on the phone? If so, where? I have the manuals but they state nothing about the g-sensor location. I've tried the calibration, but nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Also, I have a thread in the marketplace, looking for a speaker/ringer for the phone. While reassembling, the wire got pinched. Thanks guys, as always.
same problem with me. gsensor is broken. cheiefs please give some clue on repairing.

The same problem here.., any solution or fix??, why this happend???
lets try to find something common that might be the reason. I will try o write some possible reasons :
1- did you drop the phone recently ?
2- do you use a car phone holder with magnet ?
3- did you left the phone to direct sunlight?
I would guess being submerged in water is what caused it as it says this in the first message.....

Hi,
After a water damage I opened my Nexus S [GT-i9020T] and cleaned everything with eletric contact cleaner. Everything is working fine, except for no signal, but the operator name (from SIM) appears in the screen.
I tried with Gingerbread and now with Crossbone 0.2.5, wifi works perfectly.
I cleaned the antenna gold points too, anybody can help to find where could be the problem or sugest replacement parts and where to find?
Thanks a lot,
ticofortes
Sounds like your radio might of gotten damaged also. Try to find stock Odin images for your device and try re-flashing it.

You know those gold pins are nfc right? Radio is down the right side of phone under case(looking at the screen)

mabry, I tried stock image (android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/1ada25375426.signed-soju-ota-189904.1ada2537.zip) and radio still not working.
DarkhShadow, please take a look at the attached image there are some contact points what i think is for radio antena, can you confirm that?
So I think my radio is damage, please where is it located? Where can I buy replacement parts or any alternative method to repair it?
Thanks all!

Looks like you got you picture from the above link, I would take apart to the point I am confident I can put it back together and use warm air blowing over it to dry it out over a day or so.
Contact cleaner may get most of the water out but not all of it. that is what I would do if I was in your position, before buying new parts for it.
Yes Gazoo222, I used this site.
I will try this drying procedure and come back in two days.
Thanks!
Just in case if it don't work, do you think the problem is in SIM card board?
(h t t p : / / guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/fDHYCvcIUepftlOQ.medium)
Or the antenna can be damaged with water too?
Is there any way to diagnose it better?
Thanks all!

they could be, but I think the radio is on the other side because if I cover it with my hand my wifi and phone signal drop a fair bit
You could try asking Adam outlet, ik he's probably poked around Nexus S hardware a fair bit

The antenna uses current and has very little resistance, so yes if it shorts out it could cause damage
Didn't work guys, I'll buy the sim board (link bellow) and replace it, what do you think? Tks!

Table, but yeah mine has worked fine since.
have you considered it might be a hardware malfunction?
I actually was able to duplicate this issue. My first watch was doing this out of the box and I tapped it on the table and it started to work. I then took it to bb and got a replacement.
I have had the replacement about a week and went to replace the watch band and dropped the watch body on the floor from about a foot. When I got everything back together and went to shoot a few pics it wouldn't focus. Again another tap on the floor and it started working again. I think the cameras are really lose in the body. Contemplating weather or not to return it and get yet another one.

Im not going to tap it again for fear of doing irreparable damage. I just lightly tapped the side of the watch on the floor.

WoW nice !!!!!
i can't believe my camera started working now !
I'm just put it on the bed on my pillow and tap it on the side with my hand and open up the camera and .... nice !
you better do this trick (put it on the soft material) because floor might scratch the side of your watch or maybe break it !

Run it again rom original (ND8) (Blurry Images and always in Macro Focus Mode)
version update latest failure, not a failed hardware
good luck

same happened here: own my gear 2 now for some time, suddenly the autofocus stopped working and seemed to be stuck in macro mode.
as i read here, i knocked the watch against the table a few times > autofocus workes again!
seems to be a widespread (?) hardware issue...

Same thing happened to my Gear 2 camera.
Disconnecting the battery alone did not solve the problem.
As suggested by someone, I disconnected and reconnected the camera connector (located just next to the camera) fixed my Macro stuck camera. I hope I don't have to do this often. I got mine a bout a year ago and this was the first time.
Good Luck.
Yup. The tapping works.
One firm tap to the side of the device (up near the camera) against a metal rail did it for me..
We'll see how long that lasts.
Thanks, aeonlive! I liked your post because it was more specific about where to apply the force on the watch and what you used to strike it against.
I tried tapping it many times on different soft, rubbery surfaces, not knowing what the best impact point should be, etc., and nothing worked.
When I struck the watch fairly firmly, not wanting to break it of course, on the side up near the camera against the side of an old particle board/wood desk the camera's autofocus started working and it takes excellent photos once again!

Hello professionals
i have serious problem about 2 months ago with my HTC E9 Plus Dual SIM , wifi will not start also bluetooth , when i click on wifi it going grey and become white again , i checked Mac address it is said unavailable , sometimes if i was lucky will work after first reboot , sometimes i need to reboot it 50 times to get start , it start and connect for 5 or 10 mins then wifi stuck again and disconnect , at that time i tried to turn it off but nothing work. note the phone is rooted.
i tried the following :
Not working = wifi did not turn on.
1- firmware with stock firmware and update latest software version ( did not work).
2- replace sdio.ko and twlan_drv.ko on system\lib\modules (did not work).
3- i changed chmod for both files above to 777 (did not work).
4- clear cache partition and other caches (did not work).
5- reset to factory settings (did not work).
6- rooted phone (did not work).
7- change Phone name and bluetooth name when it is work but after a 5 mins driver got stuck and not back again.
8- tried reset wifi drivers or reload (*#265..etc) the code did not work.
9- sometimes after 20 times reboot (did not work).
10- activate flying mode and reboot then try (did not work).
11- i tried to restart in safe mode (same old story).
UPDATE : George suggested to me to try to fix wifi antenna and as i mentioned below in replies i just tighten the back cover and it work again without any troubles again thank you george
i am not sure if there is any steps to do to get my wifi back , i am sure it is software issue because it is work sometimes , i don't know also if there are files need to be replaced or trick can do the job .
please help ...
Greetings
Maen

I am 100% sure it's a wifi antenna issue and NOT a software related problem. Many HTC phones have wifi problems. See here https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/226502/I+cannot+enable+WiFi+on+my+phone
I suggest you have someone take apart your phone and replacing the wifi antenna cable as you can see here https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HTC+One+X+Antenna+Replacement/31071 or you can DIY ?

i contacted HTC they told me it is possible that wifi board and replace it will cost me 250$ which is fu***en stupid because price of new mobile = wifi board.
i doubted that but too stupid to pay 250$ to repair phone while you can buy new one.
i read about antenna , i think it is part of solution , today i will try it , after those kids in my home leave LOL

Go to system settings>display, see if you have a setting called "Accidental Touch Protection" and if it is enabled. That feature could be activating and then freezing the screen when you try to turn it back on.

Hi there! What was the answer or Solution by technicians? Did they solved the problem?
Hi all there! As I see this issue is the same that A52 has. It's a typical factory problem that could be solved charging the main flex. That's the definitive Solution !
I have the same problem with my A72 (A725f)XID
Any solutions
I tried downgrading it didn't help
Changing the screen of flex also doesn't help
So it's a software problem
But any solutions???
I have the same problem. It seems that all A72 series are affected by this problem. The flex cable appears to be problematic. Almost every Samsung product I purchased had issues. So, never again Samsung.
Sorry for late reply for all questions above. My A72 was not even a year old it was sended to numerous shops from Samsung to the cheap Pakistani shops and it is Un repairable they said that there might Me a chance to repair it if I replace the main board but to find one is very scarce and a new one is almost the price of a new device.
To me personally I will never get a Samsung again my next upgrade will be Huawei,Google pixel or a Xiaomi or anything else I do think that the better devices like Samsung galaxy S22,S21FE and Z fold won't have problems like the A72 or A52 or there was just a big bach of manufacturing that went wrong.
But do let me know if you guys got it fixed in any way maybe I can have a try to fix mine then but to replace part for part and hope that it will be fixed is a expensive route to go.
No just make sure your next samsung is from the European or North /South american market
Then you won't have no issues
I use The A53 & A52s 5G now & i don't have problems

I ordered a new main flat cable, and it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but stupid NordPost in Norway did not deliver it in time. So, I must wait until Monday or Tuesday to get it. Basically, my phone has been opened and lying since Wednesday. I will update you, when I replace the cable. In any case, original main cable in Norway is very inexpensive. It cost me 110 nok or 11 euros.

You are lucky it is not expensive here in South Africa every thing is expensive if I take a guess it will be around R400, my phone acted actually weird because it started to have unresponsive screen restarted the device then will work for a few seconds then will have the same problem, sometimes my network signal will totally disappear and there will be two round sircles, sometimes when I charge my device it will show the phone is overheating even though the device was not even on for a while other times it will show the charging port is wet I can't think that the flex cable will cause all that problems
