There is nothing wrong in admitting what you exactly did to your phone that now it won't do anything at all.
Hard to believe that just hitting the home button will do that...
Maybe if something else was done, may be albeit a very big maybe, there is something else someone can suggest.
I see an USB jig as your only hope if it truly doesn't go to recovery or download mode.

the Samsung internal should be unrelated. This can generally happen once after a clean install of some roms. Side load what apks? And bluesrulez is right that just a home button wouldn't do it. The processes that calls upon doesn't Bork phones.

[Q] Captivate sometimes doesn't fully turn on

Hi all,
I have a fairly frequent issue with my Glide Captivate. Unfortunately too frequently, when I turn it on, the network is disabled (O with slash through it), most widgets say "Loading Widget..." the slide down status menu shows nothing (well except the Wifi / BT / GPS toggles.) and "USB Connected" if it is. Nothing else. The phone gets incredibly hot, and near as I can tell sucks the battery. The screen often won't unlock - it will just light up the 4 soft buttons on the bottom (menu, home, etc). When I CAN get on it, I get frequent "Sorry! Process system is not respoding"
Attempting to go through System / Manage Applications - usually about a minute in the screen will blank for a minute then go back to the lock screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Try re flashing the rom, if you're using one. If you're not using a rom, and it's not rooted, try restoring it?

Stock rom, it is rooted. Unfortunately, restoring it is the fix - like every week
Could be a hardware issue if you have a warrenty i would complain and try and get a new one which means you need to flash a non rooted stock rom i dont know if you can do this ive never had to remove root

All u have to do it download the firmware from samsungs site and flash it and it will be like out of the box no root or anything

Hey i had the same issue for months with my glide. I bought it outright from rogers and was just running it stock. Drove me nuts exchanged the phone 3 times. Finally narrowed it down to the media scanner/sd card issue. The scanner would run a few times and then reboot the phone. I tried booting it without the sd card in and booted up fine. Tried a dew diff sd cards and seem to have found one that works, but it would happen once every few weeks for me. Ive looked it up on the forums its that common problem with samsung phones. Pain in the butt. Cant remember if you said you were rooted id recommend trying that im too chicken myself. Happens on my sgs2 also.

I have also this issue once in a while, its very annoying, I think that if we could have a AOSP rom that would fix it since samsung polluted their rom so much. Maybe if we get lucky, with the ICS/JB update that issue will be gone. I have also another issue, the phone randomly turns "off" and becomes really hot, it depends on how long it takes for me to realize, but most of the time, it has drained my battery to near death. I don't think those are hardware related issues, but more on the software side since its not AOSP.
Does the temperature rise when it's charging? Because that happens to my phone too. If you have the voltage control, try lowering the max cpu use to lower the temperature a little bit.

CM 10.1 Bug

I'm running CM10.1 4/23, and i have this really small but annoying bug.
When you're in an app(ie messaging), when you hold the home button, and go to the recent app switcher, your supposed to see this sweet animation if the app getting zoooming out.
I sometimes see this animation, some times I don't... its getting really really really annoying. When I reboot, It usually works the first time, then the animation no longer appears 2 more times, then the animation appears once again.... Is it possible I could keep that animation on, or just turn it off completley. I've had to go back to touchwiz because I can't stand this stupid error...

I forgot all about the "task manager" trick with the home button. I've been playing with it for the last day now, and every time I get the animation. Both when I long press the home button to get to the app list, and then when I clear either one, or all at once. I'm currently on 5/11 nightly, so maybe it's fixed in the newer releases. Actually 5/11 nightly has been spot on. Super smooth, and no issues at all. I'm currently on 32 hours up time cause there is no RR, SOD, or reason to reboot. Maybe give it a try.
I just tried 5/11 and I'm still getting it
I don't clear all. I go toessagimg, go to task switcher, click messaging again, go to task switched the second time..... repeat process ....
The second the onwards, the. Zooming out animation dissappears

Got a question.. I installed cm10.1 on my friends s2. I guess he is having problems figuring out how to send multiple texts messages. Any tips I can pass along to him? Thanks

What do you mean by multiple messages? More than one at the same time or just a lot back to back?

If he is trying to send more than 30 in 30 minutes than he needs to go to settings-security- sms message limit and change it from default 30 to whatever he wants up to 500.
Can someone look at my original problem?

I believe he just doesn't know how to add multiple people in the "to:" Field. I know how to do it manually but he always sends out mass "just for today" n.a. readings to allot of people. I would show him but I'm not sure with jelly bean and cm10.1. Since my phone has its wip cm10.1 I haven't installed it on my metropcs lg spirit yet.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 Restarting itself?

I've had my Note 2 for a couple weeks and all the sudden it restarts itself sometimes everytime I put it down. It's annoying. What could be the problem to this?

This is just a theory… but give it a shot.
Every time you put it down, sounds like something has come lose inside of it. Has it been dropped at all since you bought it?
Either way, try this, for starters:
I would suspect that your battery might be a little loose. Fold a small little shred of paper up, and wedge it between the “butt end” of the battery (this opposite side of where the connector pins are) and the device. This will effectively push the battery into the pins a little more, and possible keep it from coming loose.
Also, put a small folded piece of paper directly between the battery and the back cover of the device.
The idea here is to keep the battery from moving around. This will rule out the possibility of it coming loose, and resetting.
Also, take your micro SD card out if you have one.
Are you using any custom ROMs or kernels?
Good luck, I’ll keep an eye on this thread.
Well not every time, sometimes, sometimes when I lock the phone it restarts. Yes I have dropped it couple times, and no I'm not rooTed or running custom roms or kernels. It seems it restarts by itself when My phone automatically updates the apps cause when it turns back on it shows a while bunch of notifications of my apps behind updated

K so for now turn off automatic updating and see if the problem goes away.
Also, why are you not rooted? I would recommend doing this. There is no reason not to be at least rooted.
Also, go into your settings>application manager and wipe data on the following system apps...
Google play store
Google play services
Downloads
Then reboot the device.

Thanks for the help! I'll do all of the things you told me right now!
Well I don't want to be rooted, until the new Jelly Bean comes out. I get some glitches on my phone, like I don't get notifcations from the XDA app anymore and other apps like I wanted them too.

Black Screen/mic issue

Hi everyone,
I am having an odd issue. Regardless of the rom I use, very often when either I make a call or receive a call my screen will go black as soon as I answer it or it connects.
The problem though is, i Can't get the screen to go back on until the call disconnects. If I do get the screen to go on by mashing the buttons, the second I get back to the screen that shows the call it goes black again.
Also, at the same time when this happens, people cant hear me, it sounds like I'm in a tunnel according to them. I literally have to scream. The only way I can take call normally is hope it doesnt go black instantly and switch it to speaker phone. Then it works fine.
I am currently running carbon 4.4.2, but its not a rom issue in my opinion as this was happening when I ran Liquid and paranoid.
Any ideas, its getting to the point where its getting very annoying.
Thanks again!
I'd Odin to stock.
And start customizing my phone 1 step at a time to see if something I had running was causing the problem.

Home button Is now a menu button and won't change back.......

Hey what's up guys.... for some odd reason my home button is now my menu button and won't change back. I opened up the phone and the connections are right but It still does it. I tried everything and still a no go and don't know what to do next
Do you have xposed installed?

Go to wanam xposed, settings and look for home button behavior. Then change it to default or whatever you want.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Wanam doesn't work till the phone boots up so it's not wanam I already checked it. It's something else that's causing this
Thus should be In the q&a section but I think if you're running xposed and you have Samsung keyboard hold delay module on, it will mess with your physical buttons so disable the module if you have it

I'll have to wait till I get home to take it apart again and go over everything to make sure everything looks good

This is a weird post.
1) Why would you open the phone to check this? did you open the phone and physically do something to it first?
2) You provided no real info about your phone, rooted?, have any root modules installed? Using a different rom?
Sounds like you are messing around and now have messed something up. hard to fathom what the issue is with out any real clue what you are doing to it.

@krelvinaz what's soo weird about the post ??? When the iPhone home button fails it's usually the connection popping off. The note 3 is not hard to work on and I done it before so no its not user error because it happened when I was out for dinner last night and actually the home button stopped working completely and now it's working but as a menu button.. I was running jovys rom and kernel and I wasn't using Wanam or exposed.. right now I am running a stock rooted build of my own with a stock kernel no mods and it's still doing it. I jumped to cm11 and aosp and still does the same thing. I had this note 3 since black Friday so returns are out of the question and I do have insurance but it's bothering me that I can't figure it out lol...Whats funny too the phone vibrates when i push the home button like i am pushing the menu n back keys
Fixed it apparently the Home button has a short/bad connection.. i get my replacement on tuesday but at least for now I can use it
