Power button

My power button seems to be stuck. I'll push it and instead of powering off the screen, it acts like a long press and goes to the power off menu. I've noticed it with any of the roms I'm using too. Any ideas?

It's also not working when the screen is in sleep mode. Takes like seven presses for the unlock screen to show

Your power button is bad need to take it to sprint. Hardware issue fixed 0004 and 0003

I was afraid of that. So when the screen is sleeping it works fine now. Trying to get an awake screen to sleep is nigh impossible. Am I just SOL and have to unroot and take it into a service center?

Pretty much just don't try to fix it your self other wise you will void your warranty. I never had that issue just a squeaky button on the past. I have a brand new evo right now tho no problems.

What are your radios and prl? Did you mess with the latest leaked radios ? If not then it is a power button issue not hard to unroot.

I'm testing out MIUI and checking how to update my PRL. But that's the current stuff. Thanks for your help by the way. Just did some research and I'll have to flash back to a sense based rom to update it which won't be hard at all to test that
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I have used miui before cool rom. Looks like your using old prl. Update that. See if that fixes it what recovery are u using. Try amon 2.3
Amon is sweet for me I never have issues using it. Wipes everything correctly .

Using clockwork right now. I'll update the prl and get amon. I'll keep you posted on the result. In Ryder's eternal prophecy thread I found a zip that I keep on my sd that deletes everything so I run that too along with clockworks.

My guide has the link for it.
If all still fails I would try the latest Sprint lovers rom it updates everything for you radios and such. If still a no go then your button is messed up.

No need for it amon does it for you when you click on wipe scroll down on each part you wanna wipe and it will do it. No need for a script.

So I'm in clockwork (yes yes, I know, I'm about to switch over in three seconds if that's what it takes) and when I try to install the radio file from my sd it's giving me an installation aborted message.
"Amend scripting is no longer supported. Please switch to Edify scripting to create working update zip packages."
I have no idea what that means...
Update, until I find the time to take my phone in, I downloaded "No lock" which lets me turn the screen on from sleep mode with my volume buttons, then I downloaded "Screen off and Lock" which puts a command in my notification menu that if I click on it, it will make the phone sleep

K all you need is amon 2.3 rename it PC36IMG.ZIP boot into bootloader and it will install . To update prl just need a sense rom. Hope you get it fixed

Ok so I've unrooted and taking my phone in tomorrow. Should I wipe my SD too? I have my clockwork folder with backed up roms and other things that point to me having rooted.

To be on the safe side i would tranfer everything to the computer. Then wipe the sd just in case.

Next time just take it out, they dont need. (I used to be a tech)

I was looking for a spare micro SD around my place but I couldn't find one in time. Tech has my phone right now I'm about to go check on it in about an hour. Thanks for the heads up for next time though.

Follow up:
Either I deleted all signs or they didn't care. Either way they had to order another Evo and it will be here in a couple days. Thanks again for all the replies and can't wait to get my other Evo so I can root again. This standard look is for the birds.

update from AT&T

This morning I received a software update message from AT&T, when I tried to update it, i got this error. My phone is rooted and installed CWM.
Is that the reason why it won't let me install the update? Do I have to unroot the phone back to factory setting ?
Once I download the update and hit install, the phone will restart and goto CWM screen (screen shot). Can someone tell me how to fix that and do the upate ?

I haven't looked into it myself so i'm not 100% but from what i've read this update is just to comply with apple winning an injunction against android's universal search in a patent lawsuit. So instead of being able to simultaneously search the web, your contacts and your apps. you'll only be able to search the web from the google search bar. I would just avoid installing it at all personally and go with custom roms where the chef can cook in the old universal search.

I was hoping it was too ,but I hope you have a backup to go back if you updated.

I too am rooted with CWM and have the notice to update. I know not to update but how do I get rid of the annoying notice, the only options are to postpone for 1, 4 or 8 hours I do not see a cancel option anywhere.

Foolishly Accepted OTA=BRICK
I should have known better than to accept the OTA with the phone rooted! It now only shows the SAMSUNG logo and "Boot Recovery" up at the top briefly before turning off again. After work I'll be attempting to fix it... Any guidance on how would be greatly appreciated. My girlfriend is probably calling and texting about the house being on fire or something and I have no idea lol.
I used the SGSIII toolkit posted somewhere else on this forum to root.

Flash to stock, rinse, repeat.
Then once you root again, install Titanium Backup and freeze the software update app. That will put it to sleep for good without uninstalling it entirely.

good thing there wasn't a fire while she was asleep! on another note, i only got a text telling me that there was an updated. i'm kind of intrigued as to why some of you got actual notifications almost making you upgrade vs me only receiving a message. i'm assuming that i must have not noticed that i froze/uninstalled the update app.

I didn't see 'software update app' either - but there is a 'FWUpgrade 1.2.0' that has the same icon as the notification about the OTA update so I'm assuming it's that one - I froze it and rebooted, and nope - the reminder notification is still there.
So...
Searching on the backup/restore tab shows 'AT&T Software update V3_1205_2_2' - and that icon matches the color of the notification, so I'm assuming it's that one and now the notification is gone.
Not sure if I need to unfreeze that 'FWUpgrade' app, but I wouldn't think so. I picture my life with the stock rom to be more of a one night stand rather than a meaningful relationship...

This thread might be useful if you want to apply the OTA from CWM without losing root and without getting the Google Search "upgrade": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768826

'AT&T Software update V3_1205_2_2'
^ that's the app you wanna freeze.
Hope this helps.

My S3 says "upgrading" all the time

After updating the phone with an ATT update, every time I restart or boot up my device it says that "Android is upgrading". Does anyone have the same issue? How do I get rid of that?

I suspect that the update didn't go quite right. It says that when the system is rebuilding your cache/dalvik cache. It sounds like maybe one or both of those is getting cleared when you shut down or they may not be getting built properly in the first place. I'd suggest backing up whatever you care about and doing a factory wipe. It can be a bit of a pain, but it'll probably solve your problem.
Also, bring on the details yo. Phone? Android version you came from/upgraded to? Aaaaaanything at all.

I has Android 4.0.4 and the latest update. It's a rooted phone and AT&T is my provider.

Are you running a custom ROM? I agree, you should do a factory reset. Just be sure to back up your data beforehand.

No, I am not running a custom rom, all I have done to the phone is root it. What's the best way to back up your data? I useTitanium backup. How do I do a factory reset? I am new to the Android world and don't know much, any help will be greatly appreciated.

What phone do you have? Titanium backups are fine. Make sure the backups are on an external SD card or get them off the internal flash. If you need to shuffle files around, you can use ES File Explorer but BE CAREFUL if you give it root privs for some reason. No offense, but since you're kinda new to this if you screw up and erase the wrong thing, stuff's gonna break. Without knowing who makes your phone, the best I can tell you is to go into settings and dig around for the factory reset. Good luck!

I fixed the first problem with the factory reset but now I can't connect the phone to my Mac using Android file transfer. Could the update had something to do with it?

Like the other guy said, the update could be a possibility.
Reminds me when I had iPhones before I discovered Android. If you wanted to stay jailbroken, you'd have to make sure it's safe to do so before you update. Like you had to make sure it was iTunes safe, etc.

Did you install Google wallet?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

So if AT&T has an update and your phone is rooted, don't update? I went ahead and updated without thinking about it. I am an iPhone user and didn't think that ATT had anything to do with Android OS. I took care of the upgrading issue, before the update I was able to use Android File Transfer with my Mac and I would connect to the phone, now forget about it. I can only do it now using VMware Fusion. Kies works but it's kind of limited. My next thing will be to install a ROM, but I can't find exactly what kind of phone I have. I know it's a Galaxy S3 from AT&T.

What kind of specific rom's I have to look for, I've herd that if you install the incorrect rom you will brick your phone.

Im not very familiar with mac or iOS but your problem sounds like a driver issue on the mac, not android. Is usb debugging enabled by chance? Settings>developer options>android debugging....if its on try turning off then reconnect your phone. If its off try turning it on and reconnect and see if it changes. Beyond that i would suggest deleting any samsung/android usb device druvers from the mac and reinstalling....although someone with more iOS experience will have to offer some advice in exactly how to do that if you dont know, i certainly dont.
As far as installing AT&T OTA updates with root, its generally not a good idea, especially if you do install a custom ROM. Even on a stock rooted ROM there is a pretty good chance the update will 'fix' your root access and if you are on a custom ROM there is probably an even better chance of screwing up the operating system to the point that it doesn't boot properly, or even brick. Only install updates to your ROM from the developer, and follow any instructions they give on how to apply the update.
Lastly, you are looking for AT&T i747 roms and you also have to pay attention to which version of android you are on as to how you go about installing the ROM. For instance if you are running the stock AT&T ROM and try to install an AOSP based rom without formatting the device you are more than likely to have all kinds of issues, IF the OS even boots properly. I would suggest you take some time to read up and become familiar with the terminology, differences in versions, etc with android before you just dive in. If you are unsure about something ASK SOMEONE...much better to look like a noob than standing in line at AT&T with a bricked phone.

I was under the impression that all of these show that when rebooting, its just a matter of how long it shows this message. I dont think anyone with a stock rom does NOT see this when they boot for a couple of seconds.

Any good place to begin looking for stock ROMS?

Note 2 stuck on Samsung Logo

Couldnt find threads related to my specific device so i made it.
After installing a custom rom on my tmobile gn2 (hyperdroid pegasus) i realized that my SIM card wasnt being detected. Having run into this problem before i decided to use the gn2 toolkit to re-flash a stock rom and start from scratch, which worked and allowed my sim card to be detected use my mobile network (TMOBILE USA)
Only after installing hyperdroid and trying to reflash the stock rom, the custom hyperdroid rom would stay on the device after multiple attempts! Being clever, i decided to download and reflash the rom using ODIN only in download mode which worked and now the device is running the Samsung Official build branded with tmobile but will not boot past the samsung logo (one of two that i see appear upon boot)
Looking at a thread for the original Note 1, do i assume correctly that my phone is now bricked? If so, anyone else know of an absolute md5/tar image i can use that can get me back to factory out of the box, i bought this phone unsubsidized over the iphone5 because i wanted something that woulc pack a wallop. Now im just walloping myself for wasting not just 100 dollars more but 750 dollars on a device, running an os, being supported by everyone who wants their hands on it, in a community that will chew you out if you ask incorrectly.
So im whining yes but i could use some advice. Sure im a noob but so were you once, all i reall ask for is some compassion. thanks...

Thanks for replies, really appreciated
I cannot begin to explain this ordeal i had with my note 2. Thanks for the replies as of this point however, actually directions that i took in figuring it all out and getting my phone back to factory defaults...
So to elaborate, my N2 has been rooted for a few days and i decided to install a custom ROM, which disabled or didn't support my SIM. Trying to undo the flash and go back to a ROM i was using via ROM manager, i realized it could not be undone. Every time i tired to reflash a(ny) zip from my device using rom manager i was still booting with the custom malfunctioning rom (Hyperdroid Pegasus)
After realizing that i couldn't undo the flash of the custom rom via ROM manager, the galaxy note 2 toolkit or via ODIN straight up, i somehow ended up bricking my phone using an image i got off of samsung-updates (which i downloaded using the galaxy n2 toolkit). In bricking i mean it would power on and boot into the samsung whirlpool, then the tmobile 4g accelerated android, and then to a glowing samsung logo and didn't progress from there.
Doing some research i noticed that there was a more recent image version for my specific device (jan 5 2013) downloaded it and gave that a try, flashed it via ODIN (because by the time it was bricked Download mode / Odin mode and ODIN 3.07 for windows was my only available option!) and launched up my gn2... ONLY to find it booting to the animations and then looping them! WTF?!
So more research and i got to a recovery mode, wiped my data and finally voila. (Even samsung support couldn't support this...)
No discredit to the Hyperdroid Rom, I'm sure it works for a lot of people out there but i guess it doesn't like my tmobile note 2 sgh-t889.
I just hoped if anyone else ran into the same problem, download the image from samsung-updates.com, the latest of course! Then, (if you can boot into download mode that is) use ODIN (i used version 3.07) to load the image you got off samsung-updates (OSM will take more or less 5 minutes to check the md5 package so don't panic)
If your lucky you shouldn't have to do anything else, but if you get into a weird situation when you can't get past the boot animation screens, boot into recovery mode (which i THINK is hold down UP, POWER, AND THE HOME KEY as it powers up) and select to CLEAR WIPE DATA or FACTORY RESET.
Hopefully after wiping you should have successfully re-flashed a "bricked" galaxy note 2 that won't boot past the animation screens.
Thanks for reading! Im here to answer any questions or help, maybe i won't play with custom rome anymore but id sure like to start building my own!

To both you guys, i just want to say i elaborated on your answers for the benefit of helping someone like me who craves detail. No offense to you guys, but i was racketing with Samsung about this and driving their people nuts! the solution had came to me before i saw your replies so I'm just glad i took the right path in it all and i guess i admit i lost faith in XDA for a second there. anyways :good:

So wait, in all that flashing and reflashing and messing with Odin, you hadn't done a factory reset yet? Isn't that the first step almost any ROM dev(or even any normal flashoholic on these forums) will tell you to take?

Lol, funny picture. Yes i almost lost faith but obviously you guys came through. I am one of 4 million people who did or didnt follow the rules but thats a good thing, i think the tmobile jellybean community needs as much help as it can get right now and if it takes making a tiny mistake good for us.
actually shinkinrui, i wasnt sure if you were trying to troll me or trying to remind me that this forum is for the leet and the leet only. I understand the work devs go through, but its still a community that needs to thrive, not be put off or put down.

Neither, actually. I was annoyed at the implication that it was this community's fault you went through your ordeal. Like someone blaming their cable company for their cable not working when they just didn't change the input on their TV.
And my post didn't insult you, it pointed out your mistake. Big difference

No discredit to the Hyperdroid Rom, I'm sure it works for a lot of people out there but i guess it doesn't like my tmobile note 2 sgh-t889.
I just hoped if anyone else ran into the same problem, download the image from samsung-updates.com, the latest of course! Then, (if you can boot into download mode that is) use ODIN (i used version 3.07) to load the image you got off samsung-updates (OSM will take more or less 5 minutes to check the md5 package so don't panic)
If your lucky you shouldn't have to do anything else, but if you get into a weird situation when you can't get past the boot animation screens, boot into recovery mode (which i THINK is hold down UP, POWER, AND THE HOME KEY as it powers up) and select to CLEAR WIPE DATA or FACTORY RESET.
Hopefully after wiping you should have successfully re-flashed a "bricked" galaxy note 2 that won't boot past the animation screens.
Thanks for reading! Im here to answer any questions or help, maybe i won't play with custom rome anymore but id sure like to start building my own!

Thamks !!!! alot man this post help me:highfive:

"wiping data / factory install" selection worked for me
Thanks for this tip!
I was stuck on the Samsung animation logo after flashing to 4.1.1 so that I could unlock my phone. :crying:
I went to the recovery mode and hit the "wipe data / factory install" selection and it rebooted into the 4.1.1 ROM successfully.
Awesome! :laugh:

[Q] Note 3 stuck at the logo screen

I'm a new member, just made this acc a minute ago, forgive me if i did anything wrong, i'll read the rules later.
anyways...
I rooted my device when i got this phone, use it with Odin, and earlier this morning, i tried to unroot it, 'cause i want to update the phone, since it says that i modified my phone and blah blah.. so i unroot my phone using supersu, and restart the phone, but i still can't update the phone, so i give up and i tried to root the phone again
what i did was:
1) i connect my phone, open PDA
2) next, i'm not really sure which file i was supposed to open, so i click random file .-. most likely the third or second one, i'll show you how it look like
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and that's when it started to go wrong.. when i tried to turn it back off and on again, it stuck at the logo screen where it says samsung note 3, it just stuck there.
next i tried to root the phone again, i thought if i did it again correctly, it might work, so i open the pda file again and clicked CF-auto root file (most likely)
it still doesnt work..
then i tried to press the power button + up + home, it doesnt work, it showed the android thing and then get back straight on the logo screen again, and it just stuck there.
i tried again over and over, i even pulled out the battery, but it doesnt work.
i wonder if i should go to t-mobile and had them repair it, but i doubt they will, since they would know i rooted my phone, and besides i dont even know if i have the warranty or not.
please someone help me, thank you very much!!!

--update-- 4:36 pm
when i tried to charge the phone, theres this loading sign but, the green things wont show up, you know how you charge your phone and then theres this green thing that shows up . or has it always been that way?
the screen wont turn off too, it usally does.

First off welcome.. 2nd. What update . There is not a tmobile update.
3rd.. You need to know what your doing with Odin. You can muff your phone up if you dont know..
That being said read this. ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46084013 read thru it 2 or 3 times and do exactly what I wrote

whenever i reboot my phone they told me to update, but since i root my phone, i cant do that. they said something about my device being modified. yes i know, sorry about that, i was being stupid, i shouldve read the instructions again.
that being said, why should i tried to root the phone again? i doubt that trying to root the device again will solve the problem, since when i did that last time, it passed, but the device wont start and i stuck at the samsung logo. i bet something like that will happen again. soo... is there a reason why you think it will work?
btw thanks for replying.

Your not stupid m8 don't bash yourself. Every single Member here was new once. We all make mistakes and ask for Help. Its ok. But you should of done some reading bud I dont like odin myself but had to use it to root my note3 and note2 but always read and read because if you stop for a moment think about it. 700$ device can become worthless in just a click.

The thread I linked isnt rooted its stock just like the first time you turned it on
Trust me the things you showed that you could have flashed wouldn't kill your phone. Just do what the linked thread says. If it still won't boot let me know ( here or in pm) . Btw I wasn't trying to bash. ☺??
