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..

I thought of that but can I fix the problem without removing it?

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. :/

Have you checked which rotation options are selected at cm7 screen preferences?

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.
I have searched the entire forum for the similar problem i am facing but couldn't find any and had to write to you in private.
I have bought my device 3-4 months ago from Bangladesh and cant claim any warranty or replacement. My device screen is flickering more often day by day at the bottom right corner. Its like a screen shot of the top or any other portion of the tab that is flickering at the bottom right corner. I tried the brightness issue, didn't work. Then I factory reset my device thought might be a bug but still no luck. Now i am worried whether this is a hardware problem or not. But i never dropped the device. So shouldn't be one.
I recorded the problem with my mobile to be more precise. Video attached herewith in zip file.
I would be really grateful if anyone can help me out with a solution.
Thanks.

It seems like your CPU/GPU is burning out... I had the same problem when over clocking my old Galaxy Ace..
The problem may not be the same, but its all I can think of.
EDIT: it could possibly be because the ribbon cable that connects the Screen to the MoBo is loose?

Ribbon cable...i thought of that too...hope that is the prob..it shouldn't be a great problem then. What if CPU/GPU is burning out...what will be the solution then? Thanks for your reply though.:good:

If the ribbon cable is loose, power off you device and pull the back cover off and have a look.
If the CPU/GPU is burning out, the only thing I would suggest would be a moderate under clock of both units and pray that your device will last, alternatively, throw your device at a wall to preemptively break it before they do die and your device becomes a really crappy decorative ornament.
Seeing as you cannot get a replacement, your only option is to try and keep it from happening by any means.. It is only a matter of time.
OR,
I'm wrong.

Last night i showed my device to a professional and as this device is not much available in Bangladesh, they are not expert enough. Though he suspected it might be the cable issue but he cant be sure. He might get it right if he gets another same device to test. So m left with very few options :crying:. I got to wait for the parts to be available or i got to contact the Asus product importers but fingers crossed. Disappointing...its just a couple of months and lot of money for me.
Anyway...thanks for all the help and support. Appreciate it.

am experiencing the same issue, plz notify me if any updates, thx
I face the same issue on my nexus 7(2013). Is there any solution to this?
Sent from my Xperia Sola using Tapatalk
I have this issue as well. Got a 16GB 2013 model free that had a shattered digitizer. Replaced the screen and for about 24 hours it seemed fine (only a little use). As I began to check it out and use it I started getting this odd flicking glitch on the bottom right of the screen, right edge to about 3/4 or 4/5 to the left. over time the amount of time the glitching occurs has gotten longer, and after re-seating all of the cables (they're in good and straight) it's pretty much constant now.
same here. i haven't even overclocked my tablet i might have to open my device up some time...
Hi all,
I broke my display screen (inside screen) so I bought one on Ebay UK.
The screen has the same reference of the original one: 60H00443
After the screen replacement, the phone is draining the battery in 2-4 hours, and the phone is getting really hot right now.
I am not sure if the issue was at the assembly process or if it is a screen issue (not original???).
I will open the phone again in order to have a look, but I would like to know if anyone went through something similar.
Thanks!

I found I do not have GSM signal. it must be the antenna... do you know where is it located?
I am in a similar situation, though that is how I bought the entire device from eBay. I can barely make it 11hr on the device (and that is the device just being on, maybe answer a call or two).
My apologies that I am offering no solution. I am hoping someone else replies.

In this place
you should check what is draining your battery first. Drainage from display or scanning for signal. Check in your setting.
Any updates? I am on the edge of my seat for this one.

I did not find the reason behind the battery drain, I can just say that in flight mode, the drain is still there.
In my case, the battery is gone after 3/4 hours :cyclops:

Can you post your screen time? Maybe the screen is staying on?
Are you running stock or custom ROM? If the latter, install Better Battery Stats and post the log.

If it is not your fault, someone else is responsible. Such a damage does not occur without external force.

she was on while charging, after i take off the charger the tablet still work 100% ( i guess), but i turned off because was too hot.
The heat was coming from the place where you put the charger. ( i guess was a factory error in the charger and was heat too much, i don´t know)
I´m afraid in the moment i get the tablet to samsung they say that was me that dropped to the ground and broke the screen.
Either the battery expanded and broke the panel or something related to the battery. Im not sure if samsung will replace that.. How old is this tablet?
I would make sure to add a note (hand written message) when returning it to Samsung that you have included the charger and the cable for them to test and I would tape a note to the back of the tablet so they can't say they didn't see it and take pictures of the note taped to the tablet.
If you were charging it with the factory charger and the cable as per the instructions I would fight them to the end for a replacement!
That hole is obviously made by external forces. If it was caused by heat or battery expansion it wouldn't look like that. Either you smashed something onto it or someone else did.

If you are adamant that no one else could have man handled your tablet while you were out, the other possible explanation is that your tablet experienced some extreme temperature and had a pre existing weak point at that position (micro fractures can be invisible to the eye).
It is unlikely that your battery could have become hot enough to crack your screen without bursting into flames first, so the other extreme is more likely. Is there a chance that the ambient temperature of your office dropped to freezing or near freezing while you were away?

No one enter my office because i locked after leaving. And the temperature was always the same, ambient temperature. 10 to 15° celsius.
Most probable scenario is that someone physically damaged the unit since you did leave it unattended. Achems Razor will help cut to the truth.

But point well made. Pretty dang amazing damage. Almost looks like a small caliber bullet hole. Yikes! Hope the OP shares what eventually is the result.

I'm interested in buying this tablet which is how I've ended up here (new to the community).
Having some experience with lithium-polymer batteries from hobbies of mine, my first thought was 'what type of battery does it have?' Li-Po batteries have a tendency to expand and potentially catch alight if 'gone dodgy' or over-charged. The Galaxy Tab S uses a Lithium-Ion battery which it turns out can have similar behaviour.
This could well explain the state of the tablet (and the heat). It might not have caught alight with a standard charger, or you got to it before it did. Either way, good thing you got to it when you did!
I can't post any external links yet as I'm still too new, but googling "Lithium Ion battery expansion" and "explosion" shows some examples of what can happen to these batteries (although I don't believe this to be very common).
This type of expansion force from inside the unit would most likely burst the screen and I can only imagine that being pretty nasty, and possibly the cause of the state that your tablet was in.
I trust that you got it replaced through your warranty without any quibble?!..

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.

It has to work but when I tried to separate the screen Bloc with the metal case it was very very hard, I used too much power and broken the screen... That was crazy.

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).
