[Q] Unable to turn off New Galaxy S4 topic

Hello All,

I just got my new Galaxy S4 and everything seems to be working well except the turning off. Whenever I try to put it off, the dialog box comes and I choose the Power Off option. The phone will go off and then reboot as if I chose the restart option.

I restored to factory default and it did not solve the option.

Have you ever met this issue? Is it a hardware or software issue? What can I do to solve this please?

[help] glass cracked, won't turn off! topic

So my nexus 4's glass screen shattered today :( and also the digitiser broke. The lcd still works and the rest of the phone seems to be fine.

Anyway, for some reason the phone is automatically restarting after I hold the power button for 10 secs to force power off. Also the phone boots fine into lollipop and with what little part of the digitiser that works I can access the notification bar and go into settings meaning its operating ok as far as I know.

I have no clue how to diagnose what's causing this, please help!!!

Thanks in advance

Nexus 6 won't turn on topic

So I have an opportunity to trade my droid turbo for a nexus 6, which is what I've been trying to do for a min. I found one that is in perfect condition, but it will not turn on. The seller says that the green light will blink a few times when he plugs in the charger, and then it stops and that's it. He said the battery died and couldnt get it to turn back on after that. Phone is just over a month old and he hasn't done any troubleshooting. He already ordered a replacement and isn't worried about trying to fix it. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? I'd really like to make the trade but don't wanna be stuck with a broken phone. Thanks for any input!

Is there any way to turn off all future reminders in my calendar? topic

Hey guys. I was at a staff meeting and added a whole bunch of upcoming events on my calendar. I forgot to turn off the automatic 15 min reminder before each event. Is there a way to turn off all those reminders? or do I have to go to each one manually and turn them off.

Also another separate question. If I wanted to receive reminders of my upcoming events on my phone but not on my tablet. Is there a way to do so? Every time I have a reminder it appears on both my phone and tablet which gets annoying. I would still like to see what the event is on my tablet but not have my calender trigger a reminder.

[Q] Screen won't turn off topic

*FYI my M8 is not rooted*


Recently, my screen has been staying on constantly, not even dimming, unless I turn it off manually. A reboot temporarily fixes the problem.
I thought it was Tasker to start with but after disabling it, turning off all my profiles and turning them on one by one until the problem reoccurred (which it didn't when turning profiles on individually), the screen began to stay on again. Could this be a wake lock? I am not rooted so I can't use wakelock detector.

WiFi and Bluetooth won't turn on on any kernel and firmware (stock / custom) topic

Hello,

today I was working with my Xperia Z (C6603) and flashed a CM12 build. After having some problems with TWRP, I solved it in the end an TWRP and CM12 were working fine. But WiFi and Bluetooth won't turn on anymore. When I press "turn on" it takes some time and then the switch turns off again. A MAC address is not shown anymore. I tried to flash stock firmware with Flashtool, but didn't change anything.

Can someone help me to solve this? Is my phone partially bricked?

Thanks a lot!

WIFI will not turn on topic

Just got my Kindle Fire working again via Kindle Fire First Aid, however, now I cannot get wifi to turn on and can't figure out why. When I go to settings, the option is there and it is set to off, but it will not turn on. I've tried wiping data and cache, but that did not fix it. I do have root access if that helps. Any hep would be greatly appreciated.

Phone complete stuck on "Downloading.. Do not turn off target!!" topic

Hi
My phone, Galaxy S CM11, suddenly, during the day, reboot itself and entered by itself to download mode.
I am familiar with rooting and ROMs, and I wasn't accidentally enter to Download mode.
All day long, I searched a lot of Android forums about this kind of message, and still my phone is stuck and cannot make it out of it.
I tried all the following:
- Short and long pressing on Power itself (5,10,30 seconds)
- Pressing Power+Volume-Up, Power+Volume-Down, Power+Volume-Up+Volume-Down
- All the above plus Home
- Uninstall the battery and re-install it for a second, 5 min, 1 hour
- Uninstall SIM card and external SD card and re-install
- Change USB cables
- and try to burn new loader through Odin3 but the PC doesn't recognize the phone
- re-install Samsung phone drivers
- re-install Odin application

noting, nothing, nothing !

I am so desperate :crying::crying::crying:

[Q] Nexus 5 - Phone Will Not Turn On & No Response When Charging topic

I need your help guys!

I charged my Nexus overnight and in the morning wanted to put a new rom before going to work. I downloaded and flashed [ROM][Kernel][5.0.2][LRX22G] Lollipop Dream [Linaro][Build 10][20150106] ROM via TWRP and installed GAPPS.

I setup the phone with my google account and the phone began downloading previous app purchases. Last time I checked the phone on my way to work the phone was still downloading apps. However when I got to work (15 minutes later) I noticed the phone was powered off. I tried turning the phone on, or turning the phone to recovery but I got not response. Even when I plugged the phone in to the original charger I got no visual response that the phone was being charged.

What can I do to bring the phone back?
Appreciate your help.

[Q] Screen won't turn on after trying multirom wrong way topic

Hi everyone. I have a problem and i hope i can get the solution from you guys.
My oneplus one screen won't turn on manually, either double tap or power button. sometimes i try it randomly and repeatedly with tapping the screen and power button and suddenly turn on. but when the screen turn off (manually or automatic turn off), it won't turn on again.
My phone can still receive call, notification, etc but when trying to turn it on, futile. I try to trigger it with charging it and it's work. but when it turn off, it won't turn on again. i can plug/unplug the usb to turn it on, but i won't do that because you know why.
This is happened when this morning i want to try to install colorOS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/onep...6beta-t2955853) and calkulins cm11s rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/onep...-v1-0-t2810365) in multirom using this guide (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/f...3#post-8703604).
My rom at that time are already on calkulins cm11s. but the bad thing is i forgot that my kernel are franco kernel r34 while multirom need kernel with kexec hardboot.
this is my step by step how can i get this:
- nand backup the current rom (calkulins cm11s)
- wipe, flash colorOS
- install multirom manager, download multirom and the recovery without cm11 kernel. reboot recovery
- add rom using my last backup, reboot to colorOS
- install cm11 kernel from multirom manager, reboot.
- try booting to cm11s but won't boot. hard reset and try booting again. it work. play it quite a while. try to turn it on manually but failed. REALIZED that i'm still using franco kernel. reboot recovery. (the problem start from this step)
- wipe 2nd rom, add rom without using backup, same problem (cannot turn on manually).
- wipe 2nd rom again, wipe colorOS, restore backup without add another rom, same problem.
- uninstall multirom, install twrp, restore backup, same problem.
- install new rom without backup, for 15 minutes is working and then same problem.
- Now i'm charging my phone because it's out of battery.

Can someone help me?? and i'm sorry for the long post and maybe for my bad english.

How can I turn 3G radio on/off? topic

I was going through some of the hidden menu items. and now the 3G radio is not turning on, or at least not showing up in the notification area. There was the one service mode code that turned off the radio and then the other one that turned on, but it is not turning on. I hope this gets read, because I know this is an older device, but maybe another Samsung code will work from another phone.

App for turn ON/OFF the SCREEN with a 3rd party FLIP COVER topic

Hi !
As you can read in the title,I was looking for an app that turns ON and OFF the phone with a non-SAMSUNG flip cover.

I have some "BIG" questions :
- Is there a way to make s-view work with every flip cover (maybe using an app) ?
-Is there an app that turns ON and OFF the screen using some sensors (proxymity,light,etc.) so it can work with ANY flip cover ?
-Is there an app that copies/fakes s-view functions ?

Now,I have some partial answers for my questions : I found some apps on the play store that do what I asked before but I every app uses the proximity sensor so I think that the battery will drain faster.

Here are the links to the app I found :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mobius.rainbow
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...io.android.cso
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...r.covercontrol
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ius.fliponlite

Since I don't have a flip cover with a window,I'm trying this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...io.android.cso

I don't knowif it drains the battery too much or it doesn't so I'll edit the post and I'll keep you updated.

If you know something more or if you are using some kind of app/apps for s-view functions or for locking/unlocking the screen,please post a play store link to the app/apps.
