So my ET4G wont charge the batt. but will connect to everything else just fine

So not 100% sure as to why this happed, but I did bring it to the sprint store they told me there was some corrosion found in the charging port. Which in means there unwilling to even look at my ET4G luck has it I did get the ins. coverage...But I'm not ready to just roll over and give up that easily. What i find strange is that I have absolutely no problems connecting!? I can flash with Odin/mount usb/SD card and usb tethering.???? When I plug my phone in it will start charging then in less then a min it stops...if I check the battery info page it will change from discharging to charging for just a short time when connected to power (usb or charger) then goes to not charging...After downloading and testing (one at a time) a few battery apps found in the market I noticed that my battery temp is reading at 6C and when I'm really using it and its pretty hot to touch the highest reading I've gotten is 13C now I don't know what translates into as far as F but I know that its way to low to be correct...So I figured I'd get the possibility for it being a software issue outta the way by flashing back to stock and trying a few combos of Roms and kernels making sure to wipe and keep the Roms absolutely as they came unless I needed to add gapps...I quickly got an error upon plugging in stating "charging stopped battery temp to low." and every touchwiz based ROM I use gives me the same error...So I've come to the conclusion that I somehow got my phone damp/wet and fried the temp sensor...So unless I can replace that for cheaper then 100$ fixing the hardware is useless but
I was mostly interested in what apk/receiver is responsible for telling my OS to not accept the charge b/c its to cold and if I can just disable it in autostart manager or if theres another work around to force my battery to take the charge (I know there is a probably gonna be a risk of over charging/over heating etc etc etc but either way I'm gonna end up dishing out the 100.00 due to the pure inconvenience)
**I should also note I have tried 2 OEM chargers 1 after market car charger 2 OEM batteries and 6 different (two different brands) of after market batteries all of them work for other ET4g's and all of the batteries will take a good clean 100% charge from a wall charger or in my wifes ET4G....
Of course if theres no fix which I'd find hard to believe said phone might just end up at the bottom of a a lake...if sprint will still honor there replacement police in that case????
I'd like to use the "lake" phone as mod fodder for our current Emmc issue once we get a "possible fix"not just a random shot in the dark, but if we get what is believe to be a fix I'll be happy to follow a Dev's step by step instructions, and log my findings to help out! With that being said thank you for taking the time to read my monster of a post, and any advise into this issue is much appreciated

I would also like to know if there is anyway to fix this problem...
My wife, being 36 weeks pregnant is kinda forgetful suddenly.
She lost her phone for about a week we searched everywhere, cleaned the house many times, cleaned out the car, search for a week.
the amazing thing is she lost it walking from the bed room to the car, she was in the car when she realized it was missing maybe 2-3 minutes after leaving... long story short...
I went walking and found it on the side of the road... a week later with the case and battery cover off laying face down on the grass. I got it home took it apart, dried it out, and amazingly it still works the only thing wrong with it is the Battery saying its at 6°F and wont charge, Its stock ive tried factory reset didn't work. I have the same phone i can charge the battery in my phone but cant charge either battery's in her phone.
Would there be a way to fake the sensor?
Force it to say a higher number?

That's what I had to do... clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol and something that can get into the port and remove any debris - a cotton swab, towel, anything... then try again until it works.
Here's the pinout schematic:
http://pinoutsguide.com/PortableDevices/micro_usb_pinout.shtml
So it's possible to have one and not the other if contact is not being made.

I had to go as far add cleaning all the way up the main board and all every contact point from port to battery

If the phone works just fine go on eBay and grab an external charger and spare battery. I got one for $8 with generic battery. Works great.

Here's the thing. This not working is a sign of other issues. If you see corrosion like this and you don't address it it will lead to bad things. Better to remove any corrosion while it's minor IMHO.

Just realized the OP here was from May, Wonder what happened. I was reading the second post about the phone on the side of the road thinking it was from the same person. In that case they are lucky it still works and any damage is likely done

weird display problem, may not be Black screen of death

Hi, I posted this issue at this thread but Im having doubts now if my HOX is experiencing the same problems with those in the thread
My problem is also no display, but I have a crude fix, that is to drop the phone from about waist high and then the display works for the entire night or so..Last night I "fixed" it by dropping the phone, now I get home from work, no display again, so again I dropped from waist high and now it works..Yes it may be a coincidence but earlier I tried pressing to wake it up to no avail..Now that I dropped it, display lights up again
Here is my phone's situtation ( I posted this yesterday)
1. Phone is rooted, installed AOSP 4.2.2
2. I broke the screen last February and had it replaced (the center said its genuine HTC screen which they ordered from their contact from HTC, I've no way to check though but the quality is as good as the old one so no complaints there)
3. About a month ago, screen wont diplay when I unlock/wake..its just black but it can receive messages, play music etc..I can even answer calls (blind swipe of the screen to answer)
4. I gave up, and bought a new phone as I dont want to spend another S$200 bucks or so to repair it (initial screen replacement cost me S$240).But, out of curiosity, I booted it up last month (charged it to retrieve some pictures) and the display showed. The next morning, again it wont turn off.. As I have it encased in an otterbox commuter, I decided, WTH just do drop tests see if the otterbox was really able to protect.
After a few drops, I decided to wake the screen..And yes again it worked LOL
Now this on and off thing happens a lot..sometimes I'm able to wake it sometimes not (after a long period of the display being off)..
Just now, it wont turn on again, and again I dropped it face down (for the lulz) and the screen turned on again
here it is now, charging

If it is a shock turning your display back on you likely have an intermittent electrical connection inside the phone. Rotating the phone is likely breaking this connection aswell.
Return for repair.

same thing here
same trouble here! cant figure out what causing it.... i might buy new lcd from ebay in august to try it, if it doesnt help, then return it back to seller. want to return it to life! as this is great phone! have got new SGS4 for 3 weeks now... i cant justify that ist alot better device! same as HTC one... BTW SGS4 13mp camera sux as well... lol... no image stabilizer, and these 13mp turns to 2mp or worse when low light, slightly higher ISO gives so much noise that u dont want to zoom in taken images... also HTC One's camera has alot more wide angle lens!! compared to my friends HTC one vs my SGS4.
cheers

Yes I have auto rotate off for that reason.

And upon further ivestigation, its dropping the phone, even at knee height, that fixes it. Do you guys think its still motherboard related or is it likely a loose connection inside that may be easier to fix?

[Q] Serious issues.

Okay, I have no idea what is wrong with this piece of ****. I'll go to where the issues started.
I got a brand new phone with insurance and flashed it over to Slimbean back in May, stayed on the same build with no issues, until about 2 weeks ago, when the issues started. The screen would stay off and I would have to pull the battery. It did this a lot.
Then out of nowhere, after a routine battery pull, it wouldn't come on at all. The blue light would just stay on when I tried to turn the phone on. The only way to get it to boot was to put the charger in then power it on.
I flashed back to EL29 and upgraded to stock GB27. The wakelock thing still happens. It randomly reboots. and now, the blue light of death thing is happening even when I plug the charger or usb in. I can't get it to respond at all. can someone help me? I figured flashing back to stock would help but apparently not...
EDIT: What is weird about the blue light thing is from what I've seen it is supposed to be a brick, but when it was happening before plugging a charger would fix it. Now it doesn't fix it.
edit 2: Just put it back on the charger, took the battery out, took it off the charger, and tried booting. It worked. I still need to know what is wrong so this stops happening, though.

Instead of getting all mad, why not just get a replacement phone?

Because I just got a new one and I don't have another $100 to spend. I shouldn't have to throw down more money.

If it's a factory defect, which you could easily argue, you shouldn't have to pay a deductible

Take it to a sprint store, have them test the issue, if no water damage and within a year of receiving the phone they should switch it out no deductible no hassle.

Also, try grabbing a logcat. It's possible there's a conflict with something causing the reboots and SOD. The blue brick light is odd though.

All phones replaced by isurance have a 1 year warranty from the time received through the isurance process. I have had 3 E4GT because of the power button and overheating issue and they will replace it if it's a factory defect. Just cause they replaced it doesn't mean you have to pay a deductible go to your nearest sprint repair center or call sprint and they should transfer you to the isurance department and they'll send you a replacement for your replacement. My last replacement took me 4 days to get here and it was during my power button issue which kept restarting my phone like every 5 minutes, so annoying.

This has happened twice to my phone, and both times, it turned out to be a battery issue. I take it sometimes when you plug charger in the battery charge icon doesn't show, but after popping it out and then back in it will show then boot? This is because your battery isn't completely blown, or even fat, rounded etc... But has a segment of bad cells. I'm sure when this happens your phone gets hot underneath the camera as well. I am dealing with this same issue, and awaiting a replacement battery yet again. Watch the phone discharge carefully. Mine discharges fine until about 80%, then does exactly what you are saying. After the battery pull and such, I get a boot. The battery by that time is around 62%. Works great until about 45%, then completely shuts off. If I boot back up, it says the battery is dead and I have about 3% to work with until I get a charger hooked up. I tried all the same stuff you are saying, and the battery replacement fixed it, for a while at least...
Edit: a side from the battery being crappy, I think I found the reason why it would do what it is doing. Mine did this yet again, even with new battery. Then I felt the spot that was heating up, and noticed it was extremely close to the micro SD card. Removed it and went through a full cycle without issue. Seems there is an issue reading my card, and was causing the phone to power off, and lock up, all the while tearing up my battery... Give it a shot, if you have an sd card in there, if not, I don't have any other suggestions besides take the phone back.

Battery life issues still continuing after 6.0 update

The 6.0 update still has battery issues. Removed my watch from the charger at 6:45am...it's now 10:45am and it's down to 65%. Not acceptable life. Anyone else having these issues?

Try factory reset. Then run it down until it dies to recalibrate the battery. It worked for me. Hope this helps.

Having same issue, no apps installed besides Keep. No changes made to settings, except turned off accelerometer to turn screen on when twisting hand. Already did 2 factory resets, I do not know what to do anymore. Of course, ambient screen is off. It barely lasts 10h. Most ****tiest battery I have ever seen on any device. Maybe 6.0.1 is bugged, but I'm thinking if I should load 5.1.1 manually if it's better and lose my warranty, or just freakin' return it.

The fist couple of days, I had the same issues. .. I would get about 8 to 10 hours... it sounds kind of weird, but really no kidding give it a couple of days to optimize it self , after draining the battery to like 10 % or so, do a factory reset and wait till it completely run out of power... let the thing die completely so that the battery recalibrates... at least that's what did it for me... I get over 24 hours everything on except ambient mode... I'm on marshmallow. .. CREDITS TO ( STEVER87 ) this really worked for me... it will work for you too.

You have a great gadget in your hands... STEVER87'S advice worked for me...follow his advice and you'll see a dramatic improvement... just give the watch about 1 to 2 days to get optimized.

I think I "fixed" mine, just when I was about to return it. I changed my phone from a meizu to a xiaomi and the drain stopped, weirdly. It seems that it does matter with what device it's paired with. Now I finish the day with 50% battery.

I've had great battery life after the Marshmallow update. I take my watch off the charger around 7:00 AM and don't need to charge until around 10:00 PM the next day (approximately 40 hrs). I have about a dozen apps installed and have Ambient screen, Tilt to wake screen, Gestures and Wi-Fi off.

My watch wont drop below 12%/h . i tried probably every trick there is to find to extend the battery (Factory reset watch and/or phone, instal previous versions of android wear). For every method i've tried i Let the watch settle for a couple of days. 8 to 9 hours Max Without touching it. Is my watch faulty?

I keep a charging pad at work too give it done extra juice when needed

Atoto A6 Fast Boot Not Working

I love the A6 unit that I have but last week it lost the fast boot feature. At key off it shuts down and loses some settings and the time. I pulled the dash and the yellow wire has power when the key is off. I had installed the new firmware several weeks ago so it's been updated. Any suggestions? I emailed them but have not heard back.

I'm having basically the same issue. When the car has been turned off 80% of the time the head unit does a complete boot up. Sometimes it does it if the car is turned off and immediately turned back on. I also have lost settings suck as time. Everything else works perfectly and I haven't had any other issues as of yet. Had it for about a week now.

Just make sure the yellow wire has constant power even when the key is off. They made me jump through a bunch a hoops to get any action. I had to submit several videos and then they sent me a power adapter that plugged into a wall outlet to bypass the truck wiring and I had to video that also. They finally agreed to replace the radio with me sending the old one back first. I ended up keeping it and they gave me 20% off a Pro unit with the gestures. The day after I bought it they dropped the price on it 20.00. If I had it to do over again I'd just trade it for another and save the money. I doubt I'll be able to sell this old one with the problem it has. Let me know how it goes with them. It was probably a month of emails back and forth before I had a remedy.

I'm pretty sure I connected the yellow wire to the constant power correctly because it will work fine and boot instantly when I turn the car on but sometimes it won't. It's a bit frustrating but if that's the only issue I really have then so be it. Over all it's a decent head unit in my opinion. I guess that's just aftermarket BS when you install yourself.

Hello yall, well I bought atoto A6 and each time it was booting long, like the first time. So it the problem with the wires that goes with the mmc.

so the yellow and red wires are messed up. Or at least look for the right position of all wires. On the picture they are messed up so if U have wire same way than u need to switch em betwin and it will bot up crazy fast

Can you explain a little bit more about the process?
I have the same problem when I switch off the car, do I have to invert the yellow and red cable in the connector?

My iso harness had red and yellow swapped wrong. I had to use big paper clip to swap cables on the iso plug. Now it works like it should. Yellow is battery and also fatter cable. Red one is thinner. Google: iso harness pinout for reference.
