is it normal? - Defy General

Hey,
After a week of use my Defy+ I noticed something weird. It looks like the screen shifted/moved back and now you can see the diods of the lower buttons inside phone casing. I'm not very picky but it looks ugly and I'm wondering if I send it back they will accept it and give me new phone?

Won't matter. They all look like that. Mine does. So does my brothers n my girls n my mamas. Sorry or the bad news.

is something wrong with my flashlight???

I just notice that one of the less is not working at all.!!!! I use the flashlight a few times, but no more than 30 seconds each time. The last kernel that I was using is the nertachy 4.1.9
I was using stock froyo btw. I install cm6 again just to se if thatcorrect the problem, but I have the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks
I think you might have a led out. I think i remember seeing on the teardown of the phone that they are wired together. Hence no way to run only one.
Did you try taking a picture and see if both are working?
yes
Yes I did take pictures to test it. And only one led flash. The problem is that I don't have endurance.!!! I only have with the phone like 3 months. Any ideas????

You don't have endurance? I'm sorry for your girlfriend.

[Q] Bricked my Evo (a REAL brick!)

Okay guys, I need some help from some genius hacker out there! I bricked my Evo... I know what you are thinking... Yes, it is a REAL brick!! the kind where your phone does not respond to anything at all!! It doesn't even charge or connect to the computer, the screen doesnt even come on.
I was updating the radio and it went to the white screen with the green android. When that happens you are supposed to let it sit, its loading or whatever, i rushed in and took the battery out, and that's where i screwed up! I knew i wasn't supposed to do that but at the moment i didn't remember that part!
Some help would be greatly apreciated, if you can fix my problem, I might be able to pay back with some real information about boost+evo!
Thank you

If you pulled your phones battery during a radio update your phone is now a paperweight. If it won't turn on there's nothing you can do. I hope you have insurance bud. Sorry
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Nevermind.
If you pulled the battery before the radio update finished and it wont respond, its pretty much a sure thing that its done man. Sorry There isn't anything anyone can do. Have you tried charging the battery for a while or a different one?

Unfortunately, you are correct. You now have a REAL brick and there is nothing you can do about it. If it's under warranty, take it to sprint and see what they say.
That is the one way to guarantee making a brick out of an Evo...pulling the battery during a radio flash. Sorry for your luck.
EDIT: We all replied at the same time. Nice.
Yea, that's what I thought, but maybe, just maybe, someone came out with a solution... But yea, i have 2 batteries and a charger for them... I have done sooooo many worse things to this phone and this is the one thing that actually screwed it up... LOL
I wish i could take it to sprint, but i can't.. LOL don't ask why please...
Oh, well, Thanks anyways!

Haha, I'm going to ask anyway, WHY??? Does it have something to do with your boostmobile comment in the OP? Or for some other reason you don't have Sprint service? Bad ESN? I don't really care, I'm just curious. But yeah, as everyone else has said, you're hosed. You might be able to get $50 on craigslist as a non-working parts phone. Or, call up HTC and see if they'll do a warranty replacement without involving Sprint. No idea if this is even possible, but it's worth a shot. Unless the ESN is bad, then you're probably on your own.

You know, ive never actually checked if my esn is bad or not... hmmm, it probably is! but ill give htc a call nevertheless.
The best thing you can do is throw it in traffic and see how many cars run over it, 'cause it ain't no good for nothin' else.....
is there such a thing as truly dead?
i remember that before, hacks to phones were done using hardware interfaces.
arent there any solution like that for the evo?

Best bet is to sell it for parts on Craigslist or eBay. If all of the hardware is in good condition, you may be able to get some money for it.

[Q]Whats up with my battery?

Hey!
The last few days I noticed some strange behavior of my battery...
Just look at the screenshots..
The bar suddenly goes down, and then goes up, while I was NOT CHARGING! I was at school all the 9 hours! I wasnt even able to charge it. As I said, I was at school, and I definitly have no charger with me.
How the heck is that possible..?
I mean, I was looking through my Galery, when my Phone suddenly turns off.(had 48% battery b4 it crashed) I rebooted the device and suddenly it sais: battery low...
I was about to smash it... I mean that is really p... Me off... Sorry for the language, but I have this mobile one year now, and I have lots of errors, even on stock rom!
So lets take a look at the second screenshot...
I was just messaging with my gf via WhatsApp...
You see how long my battery lasts?
I took the screenshot, and went to the XDA App afterwards, to ask over here.
Well, I just had to plug in the charger, so It won't turn off while Im typing...
That is just horrible!
Im on CWM Flashable Stock Rom (XLMD or.smth. Like that..)
Device is NOT rooted.
I had some other Samsung Phones in the past.. But honestly, after this Phone.. I hate Samsung. Just hate samsung mobiles.
My next phone is gonna be HTC or iPhone.
HTC's Design is way better, Hardware, Software, the Platform (Sense) is awesome. I mean wtf is touchwiz...
Sorry for beeing mad at the wonder... Im just annoyed by this phone, and I have to keep it for another year.. :/
What can I do..?
What other battery can you recommend for me..?
Help me out, pls
EDIT: screens coming in a few minutes. Tapatalk is not working -.-

My first thoughts are that it IS the battery. Some of the symptoms you've described are the same as what I experienced. It got to the point with my phone, that from FULLY charged, I could send one text and the phone would switch off. You also say that the phone is a year old....I'd say there's a high probability that you need to replace your battery. Take the battery out of your phone and look for signs of swelling (I had to replace mine after 7 months). I brought mine (a 1700 mA unit) from amazon for £5. And now my phone's fine.....I'd recommend this route over smashing your phone lol.....

That's certainly the battery's problem and not software problem.
Try callibrate your battery and if that doesn't work, you should really get yourself a new battery.

If it's any consolation, battery issues with smart phones are quite a common occurrence no matter who makes the phone.....be thankful you don't have an iPhone otherwise you'd have to unsolder the battery to remove it.......

I've been having this issue also, it keeps getting worse. It seems like something is not getting cleared because after a clean wipe/flash everything is fine. Then as time goes on it starts happening again. I thought it might just be a rogue app, so I didn't install or restore anything and it eventually freezes. I think it may be a JB issue because I've seen people with other phones post about it as well. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

Took mine in just now. They are gonna replace it. It froze while the guy was using it. I think the big man up top threw me a freebie because I forget to get rid of the root and all, but the sprint guy noticed how hot my phone gets (I thought it was normal but apparently not, he said it was borderline damaging my phone, been like that since the day I got it) and he said he was just gonna replace it right then and there. Getting it Wednesday. Glad he didn't see my clockworkmod.
But sprint is very good to me. Kinda sad they remember me because I come a lot since 2010.

They cover rooted phones. Really sounds like a hardware issue to me. Never had mine do anything like that and I've been rooted and custom from like the second hour I had the phone.

It's really going to come down to store interpretation of the rules. Yeah, there are so many variables that could come with the rooting process itself it's also so unlikely to be the problem. The commonality of bad electronics is so, well....common and this does sound so hardware-ish. I'm absolutely certain some other store would have been jerks about it just because the store happened to hire jerks. Sounds like they get good people. I'd say write them a nice email. Try to add the guy's name in. At least help him get a better raise or something for his effort.

Thank you for clearing this up. I'm with you on the hardware issue though, because if it freezes up for the basic scrolling then there is something wrong. Plus if it gets that hot that quick without much usage there is obviously something wrong.
My LCD went out and I had to go to 3 different Sprint stores just to get it fixed..
I hope it's not hardware related. This is the second phone that has done it and it takes about a month each time for the issue to show up. That could be a manufacturing defect, but it seems so rare and random.

He would have if it didnt get to hot while he used it. While he was checking for normal freezing problems, it froze on him, and then right before he was about to factory reset it, he said he would just order a new one. He showed the other tech how hot it was and was amazed. It froze just from opening an app and scrolling,
and got hot with 3G turned on and the phone just sitting there. I've always used stock rooted, never flashed new kernel or anything. I think he might have noticed and just let it slide, because as I said before, I have been coming in since 2010 with legitimate reasons to replace phones. I just odin'd my phone after triangle away so it looks completely stock. Before that I backed up all my files with my backup, and when I get the new phone, I will just root it and restore. I'm lucky though. I told him that I have tried many factory resets and even the Odin ones where it wipes the internal memory and it still does it (which is true, I have). When I take it in, I could have acted dumb and said NY friend did that rooting so he could silences my camera blah blah, but I like to be honest.

Just make sure you reset the flash counter and Odin it after you backup all the files you will need.

I always try to do that. Every time I go in, the techs are so nice. They say sprint may call and text me about my store experience and they ask will you say you had a good one, and I always say I definitely will, but I never get that call or text. Didn't know you could email, so I will definitely do that now! Like I said, I have been where stores hire jerks, and tech wise, they have always been kind and willing to help. Maybe its because I'm straight forward with them, maybe not. If he would have asked if I rooted it I would have said yes. Thank you for the idea.

Hi everyone!
I hope someone here can gimme me some help cus i'm soooooo lost as to what to do. I've google my head off for about 2 hours now and found nothing that really seems to help my beloved 10.
It's turning on then going off and just stuck in a circle. Back and forth all the time. I tried this power button thing and got that to work. I did the full reset (is that the right name for it?) and it still goes in a circle, back and forth and on and off.
What's a girl to do?
Any help would be awesome. And please excuse me. I really am a dumb blonde!
Oh... a friend of mine on fb said to come here (which i finally found!) and ask something about a rom? What's that all about? He went to bed without replying, so i haven't a scooby!
Anyway, if someone sees this and can help lil old me, i'd soooooo appreciate it.
