[Q] Black screen of death?

Here is what happened on my month new Galaxy Nexus.
1. Listening to mp3 via Bluetooth headset
2. Playing a game
3. Standing up
4. On a train
Sound stopped working across everything, in the game and on the mp3. Tried killing the applications and reloading, the mp3 player refused to even start the mp3.
Rebooted the phone, well, I turned it off. It has never turned back on. Tried removing the battery, all that, nothing.
Got home, tried plugging in the USB into a PC. Nothing. Tried booting into recovery mode, nothing, other than the PC claiming to have found a new device.
I haven't plugged it into a PC in recovery mode before. I haven't even seen recovery mode on the Galaxy Nexus.
I was running OTA Vodafone UK 4.0.2 I hadn't even considered rooting it or anything.
Anyone know if this is salvageable or had the same happen to them?

Hi. If popping the battery does no good I'd get it replaced without any further investigation. Sounds like hardware fail, so long as you are sure you have not got it wet or caused any damage to it.

If you cant bring it back on after a battery pull then its a dead phone for sure

I had the same problem last month. An usb jig solved the problem.

USB Jig?
Any more details? Something you can point me at?
Cheers

Appropriate?

So does the phone show anything at all? Does the screen come up for any amount of time? Can you get into bootloader?

So for completeness I have exactly this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384415
Basically this paragraph:
An item under "Other Devices" called "OMAP4440" keeps appearing and dissapearing all the time, with the little "!" mark next to it indicating that there is a driver error. The drivers for this phone are fully installed on this same PC, and it use to work fine before it went dead.

Sounds like a USB Jig might do it. But in this case its back to vodafone and jumping through those hoops.
For the record I hadn't done anything at all to the phone than a normal consumer would. i.e. no rooting, hacking, booting, fruiting or cheesing.
It just died.

One X Causes Mac to Freeze

I am having multiple issues. The big one is that sometimes when I plug in the phone to my Macbook Pro, it decides to hang the OS. But it's really weird. It's like only the mouse and keyboard hang. Music will keep playing normally, the clock in the menubar runs with no problems, and if I press the power button the "What do you want to do?" window still pops up, I just can't tell it anything. It forces me to hold down the power button for a hard restart. Here's the weird part: I can't narrow it down to what is causing it. I can't tell if it is the phone in Disk Mode or what. And it doesn't always do it. Heck, sometimes the phone won't even act like it's plugged into a computer so it won't even try to connect.
When I first got the phone it didn't do this, but a few weeks after installing DoubleTwist (the only thing I have installed for this phone) it started happening. Uninstalled DoubleTwist and it still does it.
Any help is super appreciated. I searched around and there are similar problems on other phones, but nothing as odd as this.
Thanks!

this happens to me on my macbook air when I plug in any kind of usb device. it starts working fine after a few seconds though. It doesnt bug me enough that i feel the need to find a solution right now but test if it happens with other usb devices.

I have had no other problems with any other devices. And for me, this doesn't go away if I wait for 30 seconds or so. I did find out a few minutes ago that if I unplug my phone, within 30 seconds my mouse begins to work again, but my keyboard still won't work. It seems as though if I press a few keys on my keyboard sometimes the mouse will lock up for another 30 seconds. Only a restart will make it all work normally.

gotcha. well in that case sorry I don't know

Ha it's cool. Hopefully somebody will know though!

have you written to apple to make sure it's ok to plug in an android phone to a mac?
are you on ICS or JB? if it's the later it could be the MTP connection that's been introduced

you have to let your mac and hox know that the lawsuit is over...

Hahahahaha, for some reason I don't know if that was ever an issue lol
I'm running 4.0.4 which from what I understand is still ICS. So it's probably good that I haven't attempted to upgrade just yet?
The main reason I even care right now is because I'm trying to jailbreak, but I'm having all sorts of issues. I figured I'd start with this one haha.

hahaah

I bet if you had an iPhone ,you wouldn't run into this kind of problem ,htc

I have no issues with my mac...running OS10.8.2...i plugged my HOX, transferred data and even flashed boot.img via mac...no issues whatsoever..seems like you may have to do a SMB reset..try googling ur issue, probably there's a solution somewhere..

When I plug in my iPhone I don't have this kind of problem
However, my iPhone also can't record audio anymore, and it's two years old. My HOX can and isn't :highfive:

I'll look up an SMB reset. Haven't heard of it. Still new to Android lol
However, I googled for a while and even went nuts on here looking for it, no one has this exact issue. The other similar issues only involve programs freezing. For me it seems like my keyboard and mouse freezing, while the computer keeps going. Sometimes I can't even get the two to talk to each other. And when I CAN get my HOX to connect without freezing up the keyboard and mouse, when I run the root through terminal it can't find the phone, in charging mode or in disk mode.

Your Mac is jealous

So, did an SMC reset (when I googled SMB reset, SMC came up instead). I thought it worked, but it didn't. My mouse would unfreeze, but my keyboard would still be jacked until I restarted. And if I pressed too many keys on the keyboard the mouse would freeze back up for another 30 seconds. I am too tired to think of what I could do right now haha. Throw suggestions (LOGICAL ONES!) and I'll try it out haha. I just want this dang thing to work so I can root! :silly:

This is clearly a Mac issue. Absolutely nothing to do with the hox whatsoever.

You said that you used to be able to plug the phone in without any issues, and the only reason you want to plug the phone in now is to root it (You said Jailbreak but I presume you meant root).
Why don't you try a factory reset on the HOX and see if it resolves the issue. If it does then you can root your phone and will be installing a new ROM anyway so it won't matter that you've done the factory reset. If it doesn't then it means something has changed on you MAC and I can't help you unless you install Windows

Have you tried another usb charge cable with your phone and macbook it could be the cable is damaged internally causing a short circuit and making the usb devices play up even internal like keyboard/trackpad? Just a guess as Ive experienced a broken cable disabling usb which then works fine after reboot.

factory reset of HOX won't solve an issue with computer. It seems that you USB port is screwing up or is screwed up. See if you can connect another android device the computer and repeat the issue again...if so your USB port is jacked...BTW, u are not using an external keyboard/ mouse, are u?
I'd take the computer back to the service centre and shown them the issue...

me too...seems like MTP is not going well on mac(

^^^^ Now THIS I haven't really thought of! And, actually I think it makes more sense than a software issue. I was having problems sometimes even getting the two to talk to each other unless I moved the cord a bit. I've dropped the phone from my nightstand a few times and it has landed on the cord, so I wouldn't be too surprised if either the cord is messed up or (God forbid) the port inside of the phone is messed up. Sometimes if I had the HOX in disk mode and moved the cord just a bit then it would suddenly eject and often freeze. I have another cable back home, so I'll grab it when I'm there tonight or tomorrow and see if I have the same issue!

[Q] Screen's gone fuzzy and weird - Solved

My Captivate Glide's screen does this whenever I turn it on:
I didn't drop it or get it wet, it just started doing this randomly.
I live in the UK and ordered the phone unlocked over eBay so I can't take it into an AT&T store, sadly.
Do you guys know if there's anything I could do myself or anything someone more experienced in repairing mobile phones could do to fix the screen?
This is bearing in mind that not many people over here have seen one of these phones though.
Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks guys.

you was using still GB right? just flash ics via odin, with one click or with a tar file
This is UCLH2 without one click
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09/...ota-stock-rom/
And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/...ptivate-glide/
and there is for one click
http://www.androidauthority.com/captivate-glide-sgh-i927-att-android-4-0-4-ics-uclg9-leak-110365/
i think that only one click wipe your internal storage. but is the bes (in my opinion). try it, dont have anything to lose

No, I already updated it to ICS. Should I reinstall it? Will that fix the screen? How will I manage to do it with the screen all messed up?

if you can put in download mode, then you can. Its weird because i only see that problem with GB. Put in download mode and then reinstall

I just tried putting it into download mode but I get the exact same thing.

Thats weird, the problem is weird because it never happen to me in download mode, maybe you can try it without battery, or let the phone without battery a couple of hours, etc.
Dont Know what you cand o, because if you cant enter in download mode, you will be no able to flash ICS

Hrm... that purple splotch in the bottom left of the screen doesn't look so good... Almost appears as if it had been dropped on that corner at some point in the phone's history. I am tempted to say that is a hardware issue, though. Reminds me of when the flex cable for my laptop's display started shorting out many years ago. Might be repairable, but, might be a costly repair depending on what all needs to be replaced. I can't imagine replacing the software on it will do much, though, sorry to say. You could give it a shot, you can verify if your phone made it into download mode without the display by loading up odin and seeing if it detects under that, and then running the one click install (or any other since you'd have odin running anyway) but I wouldn't expect much.

If you're not getting the Samsung/Rogers logo screen, you're done. Either the screen is physically damaged, or the bootloader is corrupt. There's no saving that one, sadly.

yes, try what Artemis-kun say. put in download mode and connect, and see if odin detected. Or maybe just turn on the phone and wait a little, then try to call to your phone, if the phone ring or appears to be on, then is a hardware problem.
But try what Artemis-kun, maybe you have luck
PD: now i see better the image and it seems little different from what it happens to me. if you turn on, inmediatly happen that? or screen banish slowly?

AW: [Q] Screen's gone fuzzy and weird - need help please
There should be a cable, connecting the hardware to the display. Maybe it loosened, you should check out the video of a guy tearing his glide apart, hopefully youll find something to repair there.

Hey guys, you'll be glad to hear I finally fixed my Glide by installing a new screen assembly from Repairs Universe.

Broken Screen NEED pictures

Alright guys I give up trying to think of ways on my own to fix this but a couple weeks ago I had my phone in my lap while I was in my car. Got out. Screen shattered, not touch responsive what so ever. My phone isnt rooted (stupid move on my part). It is stuck on a lock screen. Im not sure if USB debugging is on or not. When I plug it into my computer (mac or windows (8) ) nothing pops up so I am assuming its on charge mode... It is connected to wifi when I turn it on if that helps any?? and I am also pretty sure it is still somehow connected to the play store if that helps any?? I need these photos I have alot of once in a life time moments on this phone.... and yes I now have a G+ automatticly uploading from my new phone any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help and time,
Tim

Because of the protection, yoi cant pull the photos with screen broken

If you press vol up + pwr the phone will enter service mode and media content can be pulled out. But it says service center only. So i don't know if you need a special software for it.
Another way would be to install Lg onscren and use the program to browse the content.
But this works only on stock rom.

The onscreen wont connect, because phone rejecting any connections with screen locked.
And you cannot unlock it with screen broken lol
I had a similiar situation, and i had everything turned on (adb,mtp etc). Still nothing of this worked
Why you dont just replace your screen?
They will not wipe your phone, in my case they just replaced the screen in front of me and thats it.

Have you tryed with "on screeen phone" from LG

Yah I have tried the onscreen and hes right it wont work because its locked. And I have thought about replacing the screen. About how much does it usually cost and would it be cheaper to do it myself?? is it hard? sounds scary to be honest.

Have you tried Moborobo and use its file manager USB debugging must be on. It worked for me with a cracked screen and no touch and locked Optimus G.
I'm sure my USB debugging is on.
I've also ordered a OEM LG Optimus G E975 LCD Screen and Digitizer Assembly with Front Housing from etrade supply.
There are videos on YouTube on how to pull the phone apart.
Hope this helps.

Ok second question and I swear I am done I got all my pictures off and then deleted everything that was possible to delete in that program. I saw there is a backup/restore functions. If I can find the original system file that came on the phone (which I havent researched it yet but) could I use that restore function to whip everything clean and do like a "factory reset" in order to get all my information off it to resell it as broken??

I cant remember where I got the program from. I think i installed from some firmware update folders for some android devices.
And it auto starts when a I connect my phone to my PC. So it was only by chance that i tried it.
Regarding the backup/restore function i cant help you there. If you have another device try it on that.

Hi,
I'm having the same issue, except I did not manage to have debug mode enabled. Is there any way to pull files off the phone via "Download Mode" or am I just out of luck on this one?
Thanks

I apologize for that last post. It's completely stock, not unlocked or rooted. Running most current software and firmware from LG. WiFi is still enabled on the phone and I can ping it from my desktop, but I cannot get MTP or usb debugging to turn on since I can't get the touch screen to work.
Let me know if you need any more info.

I have this problem without USB debugging enabled when plugged in to pc i cannot accept to make it accessible from the pc since my screen is broken. Anything i can do to take off these very important pictures please help. im on stock rom no root no bluetooth on.

Cracked screen, visible but doesn't respond to touch.

Hey guys, I am in dire need of help... I have a family member with an LG Optimus G and the screen has been cracked on it, unfortunately the device is full of baby photos. The device was left in charge only mode and we can't seem to access media sync or anything like that. The strange part was that we also tried getting it into bootloader but it REFUSES to do so. We can see the screen, it just doesn't respond to touch. Any ideas? It seems like most data recovery programs require usb debugging to be turned on and then we were gonna go the adb pull route but like I said... It won't go into bootloader. Phone boots fine though.
It seems the device will only show up as "Unknown device" as well.
