Hi guys i just need a little bit of your help :angel:
Well im the owner of G3 d855 and last week i droped my phone in the snow and it was in the snow for like 5 min. I was using chupa chups rom and after i woke up i realized that on my status bar it says that my headphones are plugged in. I recieved 6 calls and every time i answer i cant hear anything. I realized meybe the water was inside my phone and i turned it off i leave it for 2 hours but nothing. So still my phone thinks that my headphones are plugged in. I installed app from playstore called soundabout to test if my speaker and earpiece are working and yes, they are working. I can music and other stuff just normal if i plug my headphones too. But still i need to answer my calls with speaker turned on because g3 still thinks that i have headphones plugged in
Is there any solution ?
thanks

Killed my phone Friday..
Flashed Vanir mod.. Wanted it because it had beats audio still intact (at least it said). It seemed to be doing well.. I noticed the volume was a little bit louder than stock.. No biggie, set up the phone to be my daily for a while. Set my alarm for 6:30AM like normal.
Woke up the next morning a little late, 7AM.. Alarm was still playing.. Phone was REALLY HOT. Battery meter said 75% remaining (while being charged all night).
Got to work 30 minutes later. The phone started beeping saying that the battery was low. Still pretty warm to the touch. I decided to wipe and flash the available CM rom. Phone booted up, still getting hot.. Now I figure out my lower speaker was blown. Even after a sound was playing / music playing on mute, it had a hiss sound to it.
Kept the charger on it, even though it said "Your phone is using more power than the charger supplies, please close applications" while connected to a 1AMP. Phone got the warmest when on charger, especially plugged into my 2A battery pack.
Made it home, quickly did the "Back to stock, S-ON / Locked" tutorial and brought it to Verizon to make an exchange.
So I'm not sure weather it was the Rom I flashed.. or the speaker blowing and shorting something out on the board.. My mint HTC One is sitting on my couch dead (won't turn on or charge anymore).
My phone's last words were the lyrics of "Vaski - Insane ft. Ava"..
And I was extremely impressed with the speakers when the phone played the song... lol
Some background:
Went from my dorm to get my car ~10 minute bike ride, no problem.
Get in the car, plug 3.5mm headphone jack that's connected to the radio to listen to the speakers in the car. I'm driving and trying to change songs on Spotify and my phone randomly shuts off.
So I pulled the battery and waited like 5 minutes.
Now, all I can muster from the phone is the vibration when the battery is inserted and without the battery in plugging the phone into the wall adapter and getting the red LED for about 3 seconds.
... That's about it....

If It wont go into TWRP or download mode then it is bricked. I know because it just happened too mine. If you have a warranty then use it as much as you can. I tried too fix my phone as much as I can and I have the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH T999 model and I am paying 10.00$ a month so I am all good. So we are all having the same problem bro so just do what ever you can too get it working again or get a new one.

These are the two different types of bricks that you can encounter, soft brick = recoverable without professional repair; hard brick = not recoverable, it's basically a paper weight

This is not a Brick. I have seen this one too many times with my phone. All you need to do is plug into the Wall and wait for half an hour. Then try to turn it on just as usual. It most likely will. Once it does, let it charge fully before you unplug.
This happens when the Phone Battery Circuit Trips when the battery is too low. Its trying to protect the battery from being drain absolutely completely. LI-ION batteries don't like being 100 % drained.
If charging the battery as recommended doesn't work (In which I don't think it will) then this is a brick sad to say...
The vibrate + 3 second red LED is an indication that it is booting into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode (which if you plug it into your computer that is what it will try to install)
Fortunately if you have the time you can recover your phone by following my instructions here

I already made a switch to a Note 3 (my wallet hates me...) but I will definitely take a look at this guide when I get the chance, thank you!
As a side note, I've been sitting around doing battery pulls and trying to boot the device into recovery or download mode.
I've actually had some luck and the device was able to boot into download/recovery mode, however, it would turn off after a couple of seconds.
When you put the battery back in, does it try to turn on on its own?

Please look into this guys;
Last night, I charged my HOX from 18%-28%, used it for a few minutes and then turned it off (it was still at 28%). I then plugged it into the HTC "black box" usb charger (I've been using the same one since I got the phone like six months ago) but turned on charging after 2 hours - and left it charging for like 6½ hours.
EDIT: My brother actually switched on charging two hours after I switched the phone off. [IT WAS TURNED OFF FOR 2 HOURS]
In the morning, the red LED wasn't on, so I disconnected it and tried turning it on - it didn't work.
I tried holding all three buttons for minutes and all of that, but it still didn't work.
I googled the issue and went through a bunch of threads where the exact same thing happened, and most people said the battery either died permanently or something similar. This one person said he fixed his HOX by using a different charger, apparently the chargers themselves can die.
I plugged my HOX into my mom's Samsung charger, and booted it into bootloader, and selected RECOVERY. After a few minutes and to my orgasmic relief, my phone turned on.
I'm still confused as to what happened.
1) Is there something terribly wrong with my phone's battery now? (When it turned on it was at 1%, whereas I turned it off 6½ hours prior at 28%)
2) My HTC black box charger is obviously not to be used now, right?
3) Is there any problem with using a samsung charger on my HOX from now on? Or should I search for another HTC Black Box Charger?
I'll leave it on charge until it reaches around 60-70% and test it out, and let you know if it's fine. But until then, could you please try answering my questions?
THANKS!
On a side note:
I recently had my HOX repaired at the UK service center under warranty. The phone actually had a bunch of issues; yellow spots on the screen, the ruined wifi antennae thing.. Well, they replaced the screen and display, and replaced the Wifi wiring. When I got it back, it turned out that they forgot to remove a plastic cover from the in-call speaker. Thus I cannot use the phone for phone calls outside of extremely quiet places, unless I use earphones with a mic. I let HTC know this, and they said, "Oh, no problem, just send it back to center"
I reside outside of the UK. I had to send it there with my own money and bring it back with my own money. So now I have to choose between spending another $90 or being able to use my phone for phone calls.
Thanks again, whoever bothers to read this and helps me
I posted this in the noob thread and I'm not sure how posting a new thread will help but hopefully someone may be able to sort me out.
I was using my phone in the car about an hour ago, listening to music (3.5mm jack). At this point my battery was at 3%. I opened Snapchat and the camera was being weird; it had purple noise(?) lines all over the screen every time I pressed the screen to focus it which tells me the camera is stuffed for whatever reason.
Anyway, the phone died on me. I assume the battery died as it was already low. However, it then starts to bootloop about 4-5 times and only manages to reach the encryption screen once, at which point it just switches off. Again, I thought the battery died! So I walk in to my flat, plug the charger in and expect it to boot but nothing happens. At this moment, there is no LED light on the front to indicate charge despite having been on charge for over half an hour, there is no vibration or any form of life from the phone. It just seems to have flat out died on me.
Now I know people will say I dropped it or its water damage so right off the bat, it is neither of those. It was dropped around 3 months ago, once, on carpet, from about 1.5ft if that. Never seen liquid and never been pulled out in the rain or anything like that. Last night it charged fine and today it worked fine too. Now it's dead!
Is there anything I can do/try? The USB cable/charger are fine, I tested them with a volt meter. Other things I have done include trying to boot the phone in any way possible through a number of button combinations, with and without SIM/SD card and even tried to plug the cable into my laptop. It's simply dead. Finally, if this helps: the phone is stock apart from an unlocked bootloader. It is rooted and has xposed installed with 3-4 mods, none of which do a lot (Snappreffs, xnotifications, dpi manager etc). It is running old firmware (like from last May when I bought it. Just never got around to updating I guess!) but this has never caused a problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Edit: Phone now responsive after 45 mins+ of being plugged in. Charging and working fine. Weird af..Mods feel free to delete this thread.
A couple of weeks ago my bluetooth speaker's (sony srs-xb10) volume suddenly got very low, kinda like when an earphone is about to die. It was really annoying because it just got out of warranty. The next day it was fine but kept going up and down every couple days. I just realised that this only happens when my phone is plugged into the charger.
The moment I plug it in while playing music on the speaker it goes down and won't go back to normal till I unplug the phone and pair the speaker again. Anyone knows what's happening? Is it just me?
