Just received my Fire Phone (Ebay) and battery was completely discharged... concerns?

Hello all... I've just received the FIre Phone I ordered off Ebay (qualitycellz seller). The phone is supposedly brand-new in original box, but upon taking it out of the box and trying to turn it on it did not respond at all. I connected the charger, tried again, nothing...... had to leave it connected for around 5 minutes and tried again and this time the screen woke up to show me the ultra low battery indicator with a 0% charge level. I had to wait for it to charge for around 5 minutes to re-attempt turning it on. Fortunately it did turn on after that time.

My concern is that from what I know all cellphone manufacturers ship phones with at least 60% charge in order to keep the battery in good condition while on storage, so receiving the phone completely dead raises a concern on me that there might be damage to the battery. Could this be related to the long time Amazon had these units in storage since the phone launched?... I would expect that these phone might have been around a year in storage before Amazon decided to pull the plug.

This is the seller that Amazon unloaded all their remaining Fire Phone inventory to, so phones are new in box. I'm also concerned that the seal on the box was broken, even though the phone and packaging inside did not show signs of being used in any way. The phones are AT&T version but they include an unlocking code, so they should not need to open the box in any way since they generate the Unlock code based on the IMEI visible on the box label. One option is that they open the boxes to confirm that the phones are not DOA and then they forgot to turn it off after testing.

Should I be concerned about this?... I've not activated the phone yet and I've contacted the seller first to at least request their explanation and thoughts on this, and check if we should proceed with a return on this case. Your comments are appreciated.

Just received my Moto G, is a case really even needed?

Love the device, just got it today. Am I safe without a case? If it drops do I risk major damage to the device or the piece on the back that snaps on?

SM-G900T Screen Turns On When Text Message Received

Hello xda, long time lover of xda and xdatv.

Based on the title, I will take written abuse with tough skin for my question. I want to stop the phone from waking up and turning on the screen when a text message is recieved. I see why phone calls turn on the screen but I have always had the option to not turn on the screen when a text is received. My Palm Centro had this option back in 2007!

I have scoured the internet and xda for a fix for this but have only found root methods or other text messaging applications. I can find no questions or information on this topic since June of 2014, so I am asking it again over a year later. I may root my phone in the coming weeks/months but my wife does not want to root her new baby.

Has there been any new information or updates on this in the past year?

I am now ready to receive distasteful comments about not searching before making a thread. 3 2 1 --

I googling and found the solution for that by create BOOT_COMPLETED intent receiver class and register on AndroidManifest.xml. It completely works if test run my app on android emulator bundled on Android Studio v.1.3.2. But when I try to testing my app on real device with my Oppo Find7a (ColorOS v.2.0.8i). It not working and I found wanring message from logcat on Android Studio like below

W/OppoAutostartManager﹕ *Do not want to launch app ... for broadcast Intent { act=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED ...

I don't know what its mean and what the working solution for make it accomplish.

Thk for help. :D

LG-H815 - "service disabled," no signal received.

I have an LG-H815 running the v10c-EUR software. It's been running fine up until today. Today when I turned off the phone and turned it back on, I got a notice of "service disabled" and the phone was showing the search symbol above antennae reception bars for a minute or so and then it would change to a small red "X". I have taken the battery out, removed the Sim card and put everything back to no avail. I tried the sim card in my old phone and it works fine. I did a complete wipe and factory reset and the problem persists. The phone will report "no sim card" if I start it up without the sim. When I put the sim in, it just says "service disabled" and then "no service. " I even tried going back to default apn and then re-entering my straight talk apn and rebooting - still nothing. I have not added any programs lately and I have been using a Qi charger with an aftermarket sticker with no problems whatsoever for the past 45 days. I haven't had so much as a hiccup with the phone until today!

Has anyone else experienced such a crazy and sudden loss of service? Is my radio fried, or is there a software solution to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
