Sun, 23 Mar 2025 14:47:57 -0700

I just got my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge in the mail today...when I went to put my sim card in from my old phone into the new one...my sim card slid into the slot without the sim card tray and now the sim card is stuck in there good...can't even get your fingers in there to try to pull it out...and now I've lost the sim card tray....any ideas on what to do? It would be greatly appreciated and a big help! Please and thank you! Will I need to take it back to Walmart and see what they would do?

HTC Android Phone: HTC Desire vibrates 7 times at boot and freezes

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 01:49:46 -0700

HTC Desire vibrates 7 times at boot and freezes. Do anybody knows if it's an HW or SW problem?

I manage to access the POWER + VOLUME DOWN boot menu.. I tried to reset to factory settings but nothing changed. I also tried to unlock it via HTC official unlocker: when I get to the confirmation screen, I select yes but nothing happens, just like described here

Nexus 6: My Nexus 6 battery will not charge

Sat, 09 May 2020 09:14:59 -0700

Hey, so I performed a glass-only repair on my Nexus 6 (I run small repair business). All went well, the display looks/ works fantastic and everything works fine except the battery.

Nothing seems to have been damaged, but the battery will no longer take a charge. I've tried the Moto turbo charger, PC USB, Samsung chargers, all the same issue.

The device will absolutely happily work while plugged in...it just won't charge the battery. The battery just 'flat-lines' no charge / no depletion. The charging bolt shows on the icon, but status shows 'Not charging'.

I successfully flashed the latest Android 6 via USB cable. I have wiped and formatted everything. I did notice that it was charging (went from 10% up to 34%) while booted into TWRP custom recovery whilst doing a backup - but since I restored stock > updated Android 6 > flashed latest TWRP it no longer charges even in TWRP recovery.

I have let the battery deplete and automatically power off, then left on charge for a few hours but it still won't take a charge. The device boots up with 1% and will just happily work forever on 1% while plugged in.

Any ideas?
