Okay, so I really need help with my Defy. A few days ago, when I was washing my Defy(yes I wash it), the usb covering came out and a little water went into the usb port. It was fine for an hour or two, but then the phone went into landscape mode and refused to budge. I was on CM7 and thought that there must be something wrong with it so I switched to the official Froyo. The problem was a bit better on Froyo but it remained as irritating. Now, when I press the home button, it takes me to the dock app. Also, whenever a call comes, it automatically puts it into speaker mode as if it was connected to the docking station.
Is there anyway in which I can possibly fix this? I really need help. :/
It's waterproof , but not up to that standard.....you might need to dry the parts before using it again.....
Try using a hairdryer
Herpderp Defy.

Did that quite a few times.
I think the usb area got affected the megnetic sensor for the docking which you're experiencing now.. I must be from the water penetration. Have you tried to uninstall the dock apk and see..

Defy the odds, sell Defy and buy a new phone. Problem solved and everyone's happy just like it should be

Obvious troll is obvious.
Okay, I installed CM7 for now. How do I go about fixing it from landscape mode?
I don't know if this has something to do with your problem, but have you tried recalibrating the compass?

Thanks but it did not work. I think that there's something wrong with the default orientation. Can you calibrate/reset that?

I think you should remove or uninstall the home dock apk as the magnet always triggered forcing your phone into lanscape.

There is no dock app on CM9. The phone is just stuck on landscape. It's the same thing with CM7.
Maybe this app can help you.
Although I would suggest you to disassemble the phone as much as you can and put the entire unit in tight raw rice container.
Next day, put it in the sun. (Just to make sure that there is no chance of water inside.)
P.S. : don't you have warranty left

Um, I want my phone to auto rotate again so that app isn't much help, but thanks anyway.
About the rice and sun trick, I did that yesterday but nothing came of it.
Also, I do have warranty left but I don't trust Motorola with my phone. Well, that's saying something but anyway. I'd like to give it a try and see if it's fixable at home but I may just be forced to give it in. Oh well.
Guys, reply please. :/

Okay, so basically I've narrowed down the problem. It's something with the magnetic sensor as the phone thinks it's connected to a dock. I know this because whenever a call comes, it goes to speaker and the orientation is stuck on landscape like on a dock. Now, there is NO dock app on CM7/CM9, so is there anyway by which I can calibrate the magnetic sensor or is there any other fix?
Bump, really need help here.

Sounds like your ph is fubar ^^
You could just tell everyone it's a small tablet ;-)
& never wash your ph again :zoinks:
Okay, I've managed to fix most of the problem by uninstalling the dock app and the dock service on MS2Ginger. However, calls still get directed to speaker. Is there any way in which I can fix it? Also, I need a more permanent solution to this if possible. Thanks.

Hello Everybody,
Lately i had some issues with my DHD wifi
my device is rooted and i keep changing rom's from while to while
around 10 days ago i had used a rom and i noticed that when i try to enable my wifi it says Turning on and keeps like that
no networks showing, nothing happens at all just this stupid message and i had to restart the phone once or may be more to make the wifi works
i thought its may be something with the rom so i just changed it
i tried several roms but it still the same issue and since yesterday i could not made the wifi back on
whatever roms i change whatever restarts whatever removing the battery it still refuses to turn the wifi on
it just keep displaying the silly word Turning on all the time now
Does that mean i had lost my wifi connection forever, is it something with hardware now?
Please advise and help
Thanks in advance
Is the battery cover on properly? It's the pins that serves as an wifi antenna.

I don't have a dhd but ibsae this thread in the main section of the app. Probably just a educated guess but ik the wifi modules might have something to do with it

The cover is properly closed, you mentioned.
The little contacts are making contact? (pull a little on them to make sure they will)
Also cleaned the contacts?

yes, there is contactspray in the market, for removing the corrosion which blocks a properly contact. Dont scratch with screwdriver or something to "remove" corrosion. The thickness on the cover is very little.
I did it with the gps contacts and after doing that i had a less then 5 seconds fix. Before none....

Sent from my unstable mind
Phone was working 100% perfect, I got home flashed FreeGS3 rom considering it looked bad ass. I flash it everything goes all well. Until I boot it up flash back into recovery using "quick boot". Never had a problem with that app.
I go into recovery and I got this pink screen that just won't go away.
http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9660/imag0013h.jpg
I can get it to show recovery mode, and I did do a full system wipe along with wiping everything else, and I'm on stock JB right now and the screen still will not work.
I got it to show odin earlier but now it just won't show it.
I don't even think it will go into download mode.
As of right now the phone is on and is charging and I'm receiving messages as we speak, but like I said the screen is just all pink.
I've had clark44 help me with this problem and he has never seen this before, any help is appreciated.
It can get into download mode trust me. Your gonna have to time it just right if you cant see the screen tho. Do you have debugging on by chance so you could use adb? If so plug it in and run
adb reboot download. Granted this looks hardware related

Did u happen to drop it or bump it on anything fairly hard? I ask cuz I've seen this on other devices after a screen/digitizer replacement and it happened from the ribbon cable not being fully seated on the board, a small drop or a hard bump might have unseated it if the latch wasn't fully closed during assembly, just a suggestion cuz that's the only time I've seen the crazy pink lines like that other than when LCD has started to die

I just remembered seeing it when I saw the pic. Happened to a cpl ppl on the og evo and the et4g. I've also known of a few phones to ship with the latches a bit loose from the factory, I had an intercept that came with the screen dead took it to sprint and the latch was open and the cable wasn't even connected, plugged it in and worked fine.

I got it off craigslist i traded some guy.
But if Sprint doesn't trade me for a new one I'm going to be sad
If you're comfortable opening it up, crack it open and check the ribbon cables for the screen and digitizer, the shock of dropping it may have jarred one or both loose from the board. Like I said the only time I've seen the crazy pink lines in the screen was from improperly seated cables
Edit: if u take it to a sprint repair center they will probably check the.connections for you if you explain to them that it was the only thing you could find related when you were looking for an answer. It could also be the LCD starting to die

This is my first thread so forgive if i put it in the wrong place. I wasn't sure where it should go.
So did the usual phone user mistake and dropped (threw) my phone. cracked the screen pretty good. I've messed with phones for a while now so i purchased a new screen and digitzer and tore down the phone. pulled the old screen off, replaced it with the new and everything was good as new. ran some tests with video and quick touches as well as multi-touch and zoom. everything worked great but i have no vibrate. the phone can be put into vibrate mode but it doesnt vibrate. i tried factory reset, though i figured it was hardware and not software. If anyone who has torn down these phones knows anything about the vibrate can you please guide me into fixing this?
On a side note, i also broke a little golden clip off the inside later when tinkering trying to fix the vibrate (im pretty sure it completes the circuit for sound because now i have no sound).
Bump. Sorry but this is kind of urgent. does anyone have any ideas on this?

It is possible that the connector came loose. Try checking that. The motor could have also been damaged so it make need to be replaced.

This phone isn't my daily driver and I got a skyrocket on Ebay but it came without volume buttons. Being an idiot, I figured same phone same part....not the case. Long story short, My phone turned back on after putting it back together and my touch screen works but none of my soft keys work and they won't light up. Phone is running stock, non rooted.
the hell did I do? Did I break something or did I just knock a cable loose? Should I be checking for anything specifically?
Thanks in advance.

A whole new screen assembly is needed... It is very hard to replace just the soft keys. A heat plate or heat gun is required to separate the glass from the screen to get to them. Much easier to just get a whole new screen/digitizer assembly.

Sell it in separate parts. The mobo and battery will pull the most money. Don't even bother to keep the screen on it. That will lower your total price to maybe $75 at the most. You can easily pull that on just the motherboard alone. the battery can probably be sold for 10 or 15. and the other stuff will vary as well.
Hi everyone,
I will explain as fast as possible : I have 2 OnePlus 3. One with a freeze problem (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/strange-issue-op3-t3699715=) and the second one with damaged screen but everthing working. So what if I put the motherboard of the broken screen one in the model with the freeze problem. Do you think it can works ?
Thx for reading ! And sorry for the english.
Watch JerryRigEverything teardown videos and try it and keep us updated I'm curious of the result. It'll probably work because basically what you're going to do is changing the broken screen with a solid one. (Changing motherboard will be about the same i think.)
Yup, this has to work.

I watched his video too, for me it was a LOT more resistant.
And finally I bought another phone (still OP3) and I'm still using it.
I tried to open the old phone again and I managed to do it using the jack connector, I used a screwdriver and levered in the jack connector (and the jack connector is still working).
