[Q] E4GT won't turn on

I tried loading the new senzation rom. it installed successfully then when i went to restart my phone it just stayed on the samsung galaxy s2 splash screen. now it won't turn on. so i figured it was out of battery. i plugged it in for a 2 hours already and still wont turn on. i notice that the power led light is blinking a dim blue. anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?

Sounds like a bad flash. Go into Download mode (volume down+ power button while phone is turned off) and Odin back to stock... I its just a soft brick so you should be fine...

Try taking out battery. Then hook phone up to PC without battery and see if it boots to download mode...

So with battery in, when you try to power on, you do get the blue light but really dim and nothing after that?

Well, I think you can take it to Sprint to have it checked. I heard they give you a replacement for free if it went bad...

Proximity sensor/ auto brightness not working?

I have been doing a bit of searching around, haven't seen to run in to much.
But my proximity sensor doesn't work..at all along with auto brightness. All of this worked before and I'm running stock rooted.
I've had the phone for 3 days.
I read some where that it could be Google voice but I uninstalled that and it still doesn't work.
Should I return the phone for another? Or could it just be conflicting applications?

Wondering this myself I'm on the newest build of aokp and it seems like the auto brightness is not working

Try the Sensor List app...

Went to AT&T and they said something about DoA and brought out a new S3 that worked properly. Even let me keep the battery from the messed up S3.
But I tried resetting and restoring the phone, re flashed stock latest AT&T rom and the sensors still didn't work. So I reset the flash counter of 1 from rooting I suppose and had my device replaced.

How do you test it?

[Q] Bricked i927 ? Keyb,LEDs shine, screen black

Hello People!
I am afraid that I somehow ended up with my phone bricked. I have been running Stock Gingerbread but rooted. I upgraded to 2.3.6. recently and this morning, for reasons yet unknown to me, my phone was dead.
It was on the charger all night so the battery should be charged all right. When I turn it on, it vibrates, but that is it for about 30secs. After that the keyboard and the capacitive buttons below the screen light up and remain turned on for seemingly indefinite time. I cannot test if the phone responds as the screen is ... black. What might this be ? Are there any peopl ewith experience ?
Kind regards
mlksh

You could always try to odin to stock ics? Can you get into download mode? If so there are guides to get to stock ics from there and guides to root it. :thumbup: gingerbread is old school

But the phone failed for no apparent reason - I have never heard of any phone behaving like this. I try to hook it up when I get back home on Tuesday. I am actually wondeirng if it might be a hardware fault ? But if it is ... then why does the keybaord light up and glow indefinitely ?

Can you get into download mode? If so then most likely a software issue. I believe you hold power button and volume up till its in dl screen.

Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

it sounds like something wasn't upgraded right. Try going into download mode (pwr + up) and use odin to flash UCLJ3 (ics) and try to see if that fixes the os not booting up completely

Hey i like this idea... Lol :thumbup:

[Q] (FIXED) Screen Rotation Reversed

Hey folks. I've mostly been a lurker around here for a number of years and never posted but I've recently encountered a problem I can't seem to fix on my own. Here's some basic info.
Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)
Stock ROM (rooted)
Android 4.2.2
BB Version M919UVUAMDL
Kernel Version 3.4.0_562219
Recovery Clockwork Mod Touch
The problem I'm having is that I have to leave my phone with auto rotation off. If I turn it on, landscape and portrait rotations are 180 degrees off, flipped, upside down, etc etc. I've been searching high and low for some way to fix this and no dice! Please let me know what I can do. I have tried accelerometer recalibration and a few apps but I just can't get it to work right.I would like to avoid a re-wipe. I finally have everything just right. Wipes irritate the heck out of me because I guess Clockwork Recovery can't access backups on the external SD card? Ugh.
Problem: flipped screen, camera up side down, camera flipped, screen 180, screen upside down. Reverse portrait, reverse landscape.
Fix: Had bad kernel. Flashed to a newer ktoonz kernel and it fixed the problem.

BTW: I just realized that my camera is also in fact flipped 180. Sheesh. This is a royal pain.

Are you perhaps using a kernel not meant for tmobile? I ported roms for the galaxy s 3 and they always did that unless you used a kernel meant for your devicce.

Im not sure what lernel that is im sorry.just got my s4. But anyhow is it a custom kernel that you flashed? If so make sure you got it from a tmobile thread. Or if you would rather it maybe easier to flash a tmobile kernel such as ktoonz and see if that fixes the issue.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Just figured out its a custom ktoonz kernel. Replaced it with old stock kernel with suid removed and problem seems fixed by my sd card went south when I did. Cant mount it. Copying files off it now.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

Can any1 please link me the most recent stock kernel? Having trouble finding it.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

Seems all fixed. Settled for flashing the newest koontz kernel. Cool.

I am seeing the reversed auto rotation on my wife's GS4(SPH-L720) and it is stock unrooted. She has made no changes to anything! Camera and menu's are upside down. Web pages are upside down. She needs to keep auto-rotation off, just to use it! Others online with the same problem have been doing factory resets with no luck. One person did 3 or 4 factory resets and still has the same problem. My rooted GS4 is ok (so far) but hers (not rooted) is driving her nuts. She will never root hers (and would be angry with me if she knew mine was rooted). Any help at all would be appreciated.

If it is stock and unroofed the only explanation would be hardware IMO..... There isn't another explanation especially if a factory reset doesn't help it.

That's what I was afraid of.
It must be a pretty significant issue as a great number of people online are having this same issue!

Hello,
I have this problem also.
Reset factory do not solve trouble.
Is there any one find an issue ?
Thx for help

I have the same problem. I flashed official firmware and is not solved, I'm on CM13 right now, will try to flash a custom kernel. I have problems with proximity, accelerometer, temperature and light sensors too.
Galaxy S4 i337m
CM13 nightly

Wifi and bluetooth turn off, and wont turn back on

Ive had my s4 since may. Ive flashed many roms on my s4.
This problem started last week. My s4 was running on the alpha s4 v1.5 rom. I updated it to alpha s4 v3.0 and it was all good till this started ocurring. The wifi would work when I rebooted, but if I left my house and came back, the wifi wouldnt turn on. It would act like it was turning on, but it would just stay "turning on"
I thought this was an issue with the rom, so I flashed wicked v5.1. My wifi acted the same way, but this time, the wifi would only work if I booted it into recovery and flashed it again.
Again, I thought it was the rom, so I decided to just keep it stock on tmobile's official rom, which I flashed with odin. Same damn problem.
I figured it might be the kernel, so I flashed deviant kernel. It worked at first, but when I woke up wifi was turned off, and bluetooth as well; they were both turned off and would not turn back on unless I restarted the phone.. please help
Im kind of a noob, so go easy on me..
And yes, I made sure to do clean installs of the roms.

I've been having the same issues with my wifi. Normally a reboot will fix the issue. But annoying none the less. My phone hard bricked the end of June, sent it in for repair, and it's been doing that since I received the phone back
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

Damn.. well mine hasnt bricked and the wifi would stay in for a few hours, and then turn off, but now its doing it quicker, so I have to restart more often
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

Mine will stay on all day as long as I don't turn it off. Once it's been turned off and on a few times it will start to act up
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

That is a kernel issue, try flashing a different kernel....it will work.
Thank you

Well I just flashed a different kernel, but this time my wifi didnt even turn on; it just went straight to "turning on". I guess I can just keep on flashing different kernels until I get it right

nope, it started while i was using the alpha rom v3.0. i was having some problems while i was using it, and then switched to wicked 5.1 rom. still didnt work properly, so i odin flashed to stock tmobile rom. then i flashed multiple kernels, with no success. today, i decided to flash back to the alpha 3.0 rom that i have, and it just didnt work. i am now downloading alpha 5.0 rom and a bioshock 1.0 kernel... hope fully it works...
