Protocol7 posted:The thing won't turn on or show any signs of life when plugged in, so we're just going to hope Sprint will do something about it. (Probably not, but Best Buy has used iPhones for a hundred bucks, which will do...) I know that phones are sort of a required thing when leaving the house now, but you didn't leave it in the drying environment for very long. I've heard 2+ days is often recommended while your posts are 16 hours apart. It may just need more time before you mess with it since it really takes a while for water to get out of enclosed areas. Sprint probably won't do anything since it's user error but if you're heading out for a new phone already I guess it's a moot point.

BlackMK4 posted:Is it possible to use the memory of a phone with a dead screen as the base for an Android emulator? I need to get a passcode out of an app on a phone with a screen that doesn't work at all. I'd consider getting an mhl cable and hook it up to HDMI monitor if the digitizer is still working: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters%C2%AE-Adapter-integrated-Charging/dp/B00ESM3Q7K/ If the digitizer isn't working you might need a USB OTG cable to plug in a mouse also, although I don't know if the phone will do both mhl and usb otg at the same time, I'm sure there's information about it online. This one apparently does MHL and OTG at the same time and seems compatible with the S3, but there may be others that are cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/WEme-Multimedia-Charging-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00OJX6DY6/ Rexxed fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Jun 27, 2015 |

IuniusBrutus posted:Has anyone had any bluetooth issues with a 2013 Moto X? I'm on 5.1 right now, but have had issues with 4.4.4 as well. I get very occasional issues where bluetooth will just stop working until I restart the phone. It seems to happen every 2 or 3 weeks and I keep my metawatch paired to it 24/7. I'm still on 4.4.4 because of Republic Wireless.

My fiance scanned a qr code on a co-worker's shirt and from the fact there are now a poo poo ton of pictures and videos on it plus a picture of a stupid guy fawkes mask I'm pretty sure she was hacked. Problem - shortly after she came home I could no longer turn my phone on. I thought maybe it wasn't charged or I had left it unlocked in my pocket. Holding the power button does nothing. I left it on the charger for thirty minutes and tried again - nothing. The battery of course is non user serviceable so I don't have the tools to remove it. I can use an amp-meter to see that it is drawing charge from the charger... Is there another way to reset it besides the power button? Sounds wild because who would ever scan a QR code, ever, but maybe you got hit by this? http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/trend-micro-discovers-vulnerability-that-renders-android-devices-silent/ Maybe ask the coworker to unfuck your phone if he's wearing a link to an android exploit on his shirt or something.

Also, I'm slightly intoxicated and can't help but shop on the internet at 3am on Black Friday. Well, I like my 2013 Moto X but now I have a hugephone on the way.

mobby_6kl posted:Is there any way to get a KitKat phone to shut up about updates? I recall that there used to be a way to enable/disable it or check manually but can't find the options now anywhere. You can open up the play store and hit the menu button and in the settings there's disable updates, set it to update only on wifi, or set it to update anytime. You can also go to each app you have installed in My Apps and hit the menu button to disable automatic update checks on a per app basis. If you have something stubborn you can always go to the main phone settings -> apps and disable the google play store, but that tends to be extreme.

Hadlock posted:Does it need to be an unlocked tmobile phone or can it be a locked one that I pick up at best buy or something and swap in the SIM? I'm honestly not sure if a locked t-mobile phone will work. I'd guess not due to sprint mnvo's not allowing their phones to be used on other sprint mnvo's, but don't know for certain since this is a similar situation but not exactly the same. An unlocked phone will probably be the best bet, and the G4 play is pretty snappy if you want to go that way..

nigga crab pollock posted:i have a first gen moto X and i am all of a sudden having weird issues It's possible that the flash storage is dying. I've killed a few cheap phones doing Perk and other earning services that seem to write data to the phone 24/7 in a year or two. Usually they exhibit weird behavior like you described for a while and if they can keep running they'll eventually have a failure on boot due to the file system corrupting. Sometimes a factory reset will get them working normally for a while longer, but if they're about out of flash writes then the reset will make it worse or never complete. You should definitely back up anything important because it could die anytime. On some Moto G phones I wore out the flash on, I was able to get replacement main boards on eBay for $7. The Moto x is a little harder to work on but it's not impossible if you love the phone to find parts and swap it out. It'll be a new phone except for case, screen, battery, etc though so you should consider if it's worth the effort versus long for a replacement.

I'm not sure of any app to check the flash writes and lifespan. You could try shopping eBay for cracked screen phones to disassemble but you never know the full extent of the damage on those. It's probably time to shop for a new phone. The Moto G4 play is pretty inexpensive, or the Nexus 5X. If money is no object, get a pixel.

If the flash is really going then it will just act all weird and hosed up until it dies, though.

Salvor_Hardin posted:I apologize if this is the wrong place for this but after dinner tonight I went to turn on my Nexus 6 and it was in bootloader mode. I can't imagine why as I've never fiddled with rooting or anything and haven't installed anything in weeks. I've had that happen with phones where the flash memory gets corrupted. Usually the phone starts to act up first with normal background processes crashing and after a while rebooting will hang and eventually give that error which indicates the boot partition is corrupt. You can hope that flashing it again will fix it but usually it means that the hardware is failing or about to fail. I've killed some LG Exceeds, ZTE $10 poo poo phones and some Moto G and E's (usually after 1-2 years of continuous earning apps).

Amazon's got the Moto G5 Plus at $179.99 for Prime day with special offers. It's the 64GB model with 4GB of RAM so that seems pretty decent if you're not spending the big bucks on a pixel or saving the big bucks for a pixel 2.

Unfortunately they don't have a teardown or replacement guide for that phone yet: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/Moto-Z-LCD-Screen-and-Digitizer/IF368-000-1 However there is a guide on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3R8Y8Sl_-8 $100-140 bucks is normal pricing for a screen with digitizer. You'll also need a heat gun (don't blast the phone, just get it warm like in the video) and some spudgers and other cell phone repair prying tools.

spog posted:So I sorted out my 1st gen Moto G with a busted screen: buying a new screen was £30+postage, so buying a used phone for £35 in shipping was a no brainer: same price and I wouldn't have to fart about swapping out a screen which is always a pain in the neck. Yeah the first gen Moto G and Moto E are pretty easy to work on. I've killed the internal flash in a few of them using them for earning apps so buying refurbished mainboards or cracked screen phones for $5-7 and switching parts around to get a working phone is a good cost saving over buying a new prepaid phone for 20 bucks or whatever. I just swapped a Moto E battery from a smashed phone that was in good shape into one of my earning phones that was all puffed up from overcharging. I don't carry them around so I just put around 6 of the T5 screws back in when I'm done.
