Could do with a little help, I think my N5 is dead

Hi all...
I think my N5 is buggered.
I was at a festival this weekend and my phone battery ran out so I left it in my bag for more of the weekend. On the drive back it was working fine as I was using GPs, making calls, using Gplay without any problems. As my GF wanted to charge her phone mine ran out again by the time I got home and I went to charge it as it was down to 2% but when I plugged the charger in it would not charge. It would start charging for a second then stop for a second and then start again. So I unplugged it and went to give it a re-boot and the screen came back on corrupted like this -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have holding the volume down and power button to get to the fast boot menu and the screen does the same thing but this time while i'm holding it the screen with turn on and off wile vibrating 5-6 times before turning off.
I have even tried using fastboot to flash the recovery image onto the phone and it says everything has worked but again I get the corrupeted screen when I reboot.
Anyone seen or know of this problem? Or is it what I expect and it's got a hardware issue and needs to get repaired?
Thanks in advanced for any help or suggestions.

It's a problem with the flex cable, the screen, or possibly the motherboard.
A few people have had this issue.

Lethargy,
I had a feeling it was going to be a hardware issue. Thank you so much for the help... I'll get it sorted under my insurance then and get myself a temporary phone until then.
Cheers

Bricked Honor 8 from China - stuck on lock screen

Hi!
My 1 week old honor 8 wouldn't recognize the sim card at first, and then the screen would start flashing on and off until it got stuck in a boot loop and completely shut down.
After charging it for some time it would finally turn on, but then it got stuck on the lock screen with half of the screen completely black.
The touchscreen doesn't work even though the clock is running, as you can see here.

}
However, the whole screen is fine and the touch screen is working when I'm in eRecovery, so the screen itself should be fine.
I feel like I have tried everything. Hard reset, delete cache, firmware update by connecting to the computer and using eRecovery.
I also tried the HiSuite recovery option, which did succeed, but the phone is still bricked.
I would really appreciate if anyone could provide me with the FRD-AL10C00B393 firmware to try the dload method.
Anyone know what else I can do?
Thanks!

Please have look here. http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=FRD&firmware_page=0

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately it seems like they only have FRD-AL00 firmware, nothing for AL10.
Edit: Do you know if using the dload method with an older firmware will cause any problems?
I think FRD-AL10C00B393 is installed on the device, but I've only been able to find FRD-AL10C00B135 online.

FIXED
It is now fixed. I had the phone plugged in and HiSuite opened by itself. This isn't new, but this time I noticed there was an option on the computer for when the "accept HiSuite" dialog doesn't appear on the phone. When I pressed it the half black screen went away, but it still kept reappearing while I was setting up the phone. After the set up it was up and running like normal, except for the headphone mode not turning off.

what's up your t5c now ?

Hello,sorry but that's my 1st time in a forum,and i hope to write in the right place... Ok,listen please, i try a disaster! In a moment of confusion and disattention I’ll wipe all sistem with twrp,and i repeat WIPED All Sistem. I never had do Nand backup. Now, phone is always started in 1st start sreen with only Android word on screen. It doesn’t shut down and if i try to push off,in some secons it restart. I have a leagoo t5c. With pc i’d downloading every drivers and firmware,but pc doesnt see phone,or if it do that,spd can’t install firmware. Can you teach me,if there’s a metod,to reinstall all system if it is possible with Windows 10. Thank’s for attention, have a nice day to everybody!

I don't know if you finally got to salvage your T5c, but in order for the flashing app to recognize your phone, you must leave it turned off, THEN plug it into a USB port on your PC, THEN press the Power button AND Volume Up button AND Volume Down button at the same time.
You wait a few seconds, and you should see the phone appear in the flashing app main window with the word "Ready" in the lower left corner. Then you can click on the Download button in the top menu bar, and wait until you see a green "Passed" mention. Then you can unplug your phone and either configure it as a new device (that's what I do) or restore content from a backup.

Question How do I make LED notification light keep flashing?

Hi
I just bought a Poco x3 pro 8GB 256GB. It's a great phone, with one small problem. When I get an SMS/Text the LED flashes once only. I want it to keep flashing until I view the text. So that if I'm in another part of the house I can see if someone has texted me without unlocking the phone.
Can this be done? And is it possible without rooting the phone? Thanks

Find the option that will not turn on the screen when notification came.

I tried that, but unfortunately the led still only flashes once even with the screen off.

What MIUI version of your phone?
Check the settings, if it's already on, turn it off, then turn it on again.

Then reboot.
If it does not change, clean SMS app cache and then reboot.
MIUI optimization should not be turned off.
Someone said to try update the SMS app, not quite sure if it works or not though.
If nothing works, can report to Xiaomi feedback and tell them to fix it.

MIUI ver: Global 12.5.1
I updated Notifications a couple of days ago and the LED seemed to work intermittently since then.
I turned the LED light off and then on again as per your instructions. Then rebooted. The LED worked for one text only, then no longer works. I rebooted again and it worked again for one text only.
Where is the setting for MIUI optimization?
Cleaned SMS app cache - no change. LED works for the first text, subsequent texts (with screen off) do not make the LED flash
The SMS app is the latest version, but thinking of installing google sms app if we can't get this working.
Thanks for your help

It is on by default, so if you don't know where that is, then just leave it as is.
Though not directly related, can try some mentioned way to probably fix in the replies:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4285237/

The message app need to allow auto-start.

I uninstalled messaging updates and now the light works.

Question Xperia 5 III was dropped and now the camera is always on, should I trie to repair or give up?

Hey!
So last Monday my Xperia 5 III fell and now the screen cracked.
As a side effect, I can't access the camera, and when I try to use it it says that there is an error (Plus, the flashlight claims that the camera is in use).
I suspect that the fall somehow triggered the camera to be always on, and now the battery drains quickly (It went from 100% to 10% during a 6 hours sleep, with the screen off).
Do you think I should send it for repairs somewhere?
Should I try to open the phone myself?
Or should I just give up on it and buy a new one?
I've attached pictures of the phone, the flashlight saying that the camera is used, and the Pro app saying that there is an error.

Always use a good case...
Impossible to tell what's wrong without tearing it down. Mobo damage is a definite possibility.
That would effectively total the phone.

enable the turn sensors off button in developer options, with it enabled you can disable the camera from the pull down menu

I enabled it, but I don't see anywhere that I can control which sensors will be turned off.
And it seems that the camera is still in use, since the phone is still overheating.

You might need to add the button, i'm on android 11 but there should be something for 12.

That's what I did, but still "Camera in use" and the phone overheats.

reboot the phone, with sensors off still enabled, see if that works.
If sensors off clears on reboot, try enabling it asap,

Hey, I opened the rear part of the phone, I tried to remove the cameras and various other sensors and nothing changed, do you have any idea what it could be?​

Im amazed people make threads for this.
Yes, you should obviously send it to a certified Sony repair center, yes it will be expensive and yes, buy a good case and screen protector.
