Please help
Thanks
what happened? did it fall down or did it hit something?
not really nothing happen I didn't use it for a week suddenly I see this.
If that is what your screen looks like all the time, especially when the power is off and the Android O/S isn't running, I'm afraid you have some sort of a hardware failure.
You could try reflashing the stock O/S back to the tablet with Odin, but keep your expectations low.

Hello Friends,
I purchased ASUS P835 in Jan'2010 in India itself. Since then I have been facing many issues and the PDA seems to loose its control once we use 3G SIM card.
It does not hold up the network in good network areas also, and almost all the time, whenever it used to make a data-connection, it got restarted.
Upon complaining, I got the cell-phone replacement.
But with new handset also I face the same issues. Although few problems are not there in the new one, but still the loose network retention and restart on data-connection still prevails.
I understand that this model as a whole is itself faulty.
Can you guys please provide me with some help on this ?
Kindly share, if there is any upgrade or patch available for this.
Also, let me know with your opinions, and recommendations for this cell-phone.
Any help will be much appreciable.
Thanks and regards,
Rohan

Hey all, firstly I'd like to say that I searched everywhere and could not find a solution to my problem.
So anyways I was using the app SleepBot and there is this feature where the app helps
track your movements while you are sleeping through vibrations or something. It for some reason
turns your screen on and I suppose that is the reason this happened to my screen. I've tried a factory
reset by just randomly guesstimating where the buttoms are. But regardless it was determined it isnt
a software problem but possibly a hardware problem? The screen basically appears to be glitching out,
flickering is the images which should be displayed on the screen. In the middle there is this white line
and below it there is a white box about half an inch wide
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is my phone done?... what steps would I have to take in
order to get a new phone.
Can't post a video atm because I don't have more than 10 posts lols... well hopefully someone can answer my questions
and I'll be able to post
If you have any questions feel free to ask =)
Yes thay sounds like faulty device. You know these things are made to work but things CAN short out break or just flat out die on you for no reason. An app wouldnt do that even after a factory restoration. Your last bet is to odin back to factory image and then if that screen problem persists get it replaced

I don't know what steps need to be taken I have never had to have anything covered by warranty or insurance. Try searching there have been discussions on this forum numerous times about warranties and such.
For your first search. Just search for warranty or insurance

Hello all.
I am an HTC guy through and through and have never owned a Samsung device. I'm familiar with HTC's S-OFF/HBOOT/bootloader stuff, but I'm not really all that clear on how it works for Samsung devices. I promise I've tried to do some reading before hand before coming to you, including looking at other threads, but they don't seem to be the issue I'm having.
I'm trying to help a friend out who has an AT&T GS3 that I unlocked for him and put an AOSP ROM on it a few months ago (don't worry, I made damn sure it was the AT&T version and no other carrier/international ROM).
He came to me today telling me that his phone suddenly turned off, and was not turning on again. I figure it's probably just a corrupted partition, something that I could fix with a reflash or something like that.
However, when I look at it, it seems to be something potentially worse. The phone did nothing with the battery in, so I took it out and put it back in. The phone very briefly vibrates, the Samsung logo shows for about 1.5 - 2 seconds at most, and then the screen goes dark.
When I try to enter Download Mode, I'm able to get to the custom software "warning" page, where I press Volume Up, and it shows me Download Mode and "Waiting" (as I expect it to) but then the screen just goes black again after about a second or two.
It's roughly the same with Recovery Mode, I can catch a glimpse of what looks like CWM (but I'm not entirely sure) and then the screen goes black.
If I choose to forgo the battery altogether, and I plug it in straight to the wall, the red LED on the top right lights up for again maybe 3 - 4 seconds at most, the light goes away, and the phone briefly vibrates, shows me the Samsung logo, and then goes dark.
I'm confused. I don't know if it's a brick, but then again, to me as an HTC user, "brick" means Qualcomm USB Download mode. I've also read about this infamous Samsung Sudden Death Syndrome that struck some of the 16 GB models that Samsung sold (and yes, you guessed it, this is the white 16GB model).
I don't really know what other troubleshooting options there are (but as I said before, I'm an HTC guy). If any of you have any sort of advice I would love to hear it.
Thank you for your time.
I've seen several users on here in the last few months with this issue. I worked with one of them for awhile trying to get it straightened out but couldn't resolve the problem. Some of that was due to the nature of the problem and some was probably due to the fact I didn't have the phone in my hands to help the new user better. I believe the user was able to get an exchange at an at&t service center. Sorry I can't offer more assistance. Keep us posted if you get a fix.

I appreciate you trying. I know it's such an odd issue that it's really hard to diagnose. I thought perhaps it might have to do with the battery somehow being "bad", but then the problem would be gone when I go AC only.
He's not against the idea of going to AT&T, but I feel bad; I convinced him to unlock and let me flash a new ROM so I feel that I should at least put in a good effort to make sure there's nothing more I can do.
Yeah, the biggest problem is that once you get into recovery or download mode, the device reboots/loops. This eliminates the possibility of any kind of flashing or wiping.
You might have a bad motherboard. If I was you I'd take it to att for a replacement. BTW if he doesn't have insurance for the phone they do have open enrollment , I'd wait a day or two after enrolling to submit a claim.
Wish you the best.

It's a realllly long shot but he could contact mobile tech videos and tell them his issue and see if a jtag repair would help. If it's hardware of course he is out of luck but it's worth a shot and a lot cheaper.
First, before anyone says this is sds/brickbug, it seems to be different. My phone keeps turning off between 2 and 10 seconds after turning on in any mode, normal boot, recovery, or download mode. My first thought was a stuck power button like my friend's S2 had (I fixed his) but after taking it apart and testing the internal switch with a multimeter, the switch doesn't seem to be stuck in the closed position as I see a changing resistance value when the button is pressed. It's also not the battery as I have used external chargers and a battery from a friend's phone. Same issue. I looked into the SDS thread and those all seem to be the phone won't boot at all or can make it into download mode but can't flash, but not constant rebooting like this. I've completely taken the phone apart (up to removing the mainboard) several times and can find nothing wrong with it. I'm inclined to think some sort of hardware issue but haven't found an answer for what. What seems the most telling is that, when it reboots during the boot animation (at a different spot each time) it hangs for a second before turning off, making me think it's some sort of serious hang. I also wonder if it could be the power regulation chip.
Bottom line, I've done some serious research but haven't found anything. I'd be willing to send it to a repair shop like the commonly listed mobiletechvideos.com but I'm not sure a Jtag would fix it if it really is a hardware problem. Any ideas or experience with the issue?

Ah, thanks. I tend to think of the Q&A, HELP AND TROUBLESHOOTING (emphasis added) forum as just the Q&A and forget the last part.
This model has never had an isdue with Sudden Death. I think that's the international models only. If that's what you have, you may want to post this in that forum as they may hsve seen this before.
If I had to guess though, I'd say its more likely a hardware problem. If it were software it would probably hang at the same place every time.
I could be wrong though...

Ah, no, it's a T-mobile. I did notice that sds was in the international forum and was going to check if it applies to the US but forgot. Yeah, I'm leaning towards hardware too. It'd be nice if I could find someone else who has had the same problem and has a diagnosis. The device is out of warranty (It somehow shows water damage though it's never been submerged. Dumb Florida weather...) so I want to evaluate other repair options before considering Samsung. I buy my phones second hand so spending more than $100 fixing it quickly becomes debatably useful. If it's hardware, obviously a JTAG won't fix it. I don't have anything super important on there but do have some game progress I haven't backed up since I started so I'd like to avoid a wipe, which is probably a pipe dream at this point.
Yeah, you could try a factory reset, if you can get into recovery long enough. If it comes to it though you could always sell it for parts. Or buy an s3 with a broken screen and swap parts.
Unless you hear from someone else though, I'm afraid your only way of knowing is to attempt a jtag repair. If it doesn't work, its probably hardware.
Good luck however it goes!

Yeah, recovery usually doesn't even show and only occasionally just gets to the TWRP splash screen so I can't do anything there. Just checked Ebay and was shocked how cheap broken screen S3's are. I have hope! If I just need the mainboard, does the carrier matter? I know roms are interchangeable but I'm not sure where the antennas are tuned for Tmobile's AWS. I imagine it's in the Qualcomm Radio on the mainboard which would require a Tmobile device. Any idea?

I can't say positively, but I'm pretty sure that's correct. AT&Ts I747 will work on T-Mobile networks, but you will never get the performance from it that you would with a T999. If you could find a T999L that would be even better still!
I know the cell radio is built into the SoC (wifi and BT are on a broadcom chip), so the more I think about it the more positive I am that you'd need to try to stick with the T-Mobile device.
Sprint and Verizon devices won't work though, just so you know. Those are CDMA. Yours will need to be GSM. An easy clue to this is if it has a sim card. I'm telling you this becsuse there are still other models out there, and some may or may not work. Just in case you can't find a T999 or T999L.

I am here out of desperation. Other Android forums have been telling me that I need the correct RUU file, to get my HTC One X back to factory preset(s). That's assuming it has already been wiped. I've been trying for over a month.
I am not, BY ANY STRETCH, knowledgeable in these kinds of smartphone problems. I know nothing about the various terminologies, nor what they represent, i.e. flashing, rooting, etc. I actually think that if some members here could possibly ask ME a couple questions, that that might be a faster way to try and get to the root of the problem, so to speak.
I can tell you that, as I type this, I DID manage to get the "BOOT"?? screen up. It has several commands or options, and three large bar codes at the bottom of that screen. I can also tell you that after I found out about holding down power and pressing volume down 3 times, and wait...my touch controls at the bottom of the phone, flash 15 times and stop. Much more often than not, if I continue to hold those buttons down, the HTC "Brilliant" logo pops up briefly, then disappears, but you can tell by looking closely, the screen isn't totally black, it is grey, still on, and will remain that way until the battery dies...unless I try to do something to turn it off.
Apologies for the long post. To me, this takes a more verbose explanation than it probably would those more "experienced" with the technological aspects involved in any attempt to "repair" the phone.
I need to add that, when the phone was purchased, it was bought for me, by my wife, for 1 penny, as part of an AT&T promotion. It has the AT&T logo molded into the top center of the phone, and that there are/were many AT&T apps in the phone. My wife told me long ago, that AT&T had the phone locked, and that their apps could not be removed.
We no longer use AT&T as our carrier. We use Consumer Cellular. To anyone with any expertise, advice, knowledge, etc., that could possibly aid in my restoring the phone back to what I refer to as "normal Android", I would be forever in your debt. I am disabled, and on a pittance of Social Security benefits. With prices of GOOD smartphones today, I seriously doubt I would ever be able to afford even a used one. Thanks very much. Again, my apologies for the "novel".
This forum is for the "HTC One X Endeavoru". Your device has the AT&T logo on top of the screen is a different model codenamed "Evita".
I suggest you to post the same content in this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
Or pm a mod and ask him/her to move your post there.
