VS985 bootloop, not recognizing battery?

Like title says, my VS985 is looping in random ways and sometimes doesn't recognize that the battery is in the phone. Here is an overview:

- While off the charger, it is unresponsive, no buttons work.
- Recovery button combo does not work. I cannot get into recovery at all.
- While plugged in, it shows the battery screen, then reboots into a loop, has a long vibration
- Plug in + power button is a short vibration, I see the LG screen then it reboots to the above loop
- Plug into PC + up button shows the download mode screen then reboots to above loop
- At random times it will display the gray screen as if I plugged it in with no battery

Am I screwed? Wanted to sell this thing but I doubt it now. It was rooted running an older Euphoria build

Headphone jack not recognizing headset

PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.

SPECS:

• Rooted android 4.4


• Cubot s308

ALREADY TRIED:

• Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on


• Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything


• Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue

All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.

URGENT: Anyone else having issues with their phone recognizing fast chargers?

I just upgraded from an S6 Edge to an S6 Edge+ and I've noticed that my phone is having trouble with fast charging. When I plug it in, it simply says "Cable charging". I have to unplug it and plug it back in 3-12 times to get it to say "Fast charging". I'm using the OEM Samsung fast chargers (the one that came with my S6 Edge+ as well as the one that came with my old S6 Edge). My old S6 Edge never had an issue like this.

Is it just my phone, or is this a wide software bug on the new S6 Edge+'s? Trying to determine whether I need to swap my phone at T-Mobile for a new one. Thanks!

[Q] Problem with recognizing S3 Neo on a Win. XP 64 bits s.o Edition.

Hi everyone.

i've been reading a lot about this issue and some solutions didn't work on my 64 bits edition s.o.

I also had a netbook running xp 32 bits and the solution of "upgrading the windows media player" works but in the 64 bits no.

I don't know if there is any kind of solution for this or i will have the change the S.O to Win 7....

Cheers.

Recognizing Malware

Hello everybody

lately I'm experiencing obtrusive advertising popups, so after searching in my downloaded app list and found nothing, I installed "360 security" and found some apks that are listed as malware.

These apks are actually quite suspicious, so I froze them waiting for an accurate research.
In fact after searching the internet I haven't found nothing so I suspect these apks are malware

Battery control (com.sys.battery.control)
Live wallpaper (com.gl.live.wallpaper)
System Certificate (com.android.system.certificate) [I'm not sure about this one so I haven't frozen it yet]
music provider (com.android.music.helper)

The thing these apks have in common is that they all have the same icon.

I haven't installed anithing outside google Play store, so the causes are two IMO:

1. they have been installed as system apps via an app downloaded via play store
2. browsing the web via firefox

if this is true there's a bad security issue that needs to be fixed.

I use an Xperia L, android 4.2.2 stock rom, rooted

Help! Note5 is no longer recognizing my fingerprint

So, this sounds simple; but I guarantee you it is not.

I just got my Note5 about 2 weeks ago; and despite some missing key features, I really like it. Until today.
Carrier: Sprint (who apparently doesn't have 24/7 customer service)

My fingers were a little dirty (which they have been before) and my scanner wouldn't unlock the phone. Cleaned them and now it's already locked and seems to not really check the prints anymore?

First attempted fix: backup password, I know I set it up...but it doesn't work. None of the passwords I might use will work.

Second attempted fix: Google signin, I have a free google apps account and apparently using my whole email address as username doesn't work on this; also tried just using the plain username just in case. I know the password is correct. I'm the domain administrator.

Third attempted fix: Android device manager, tried setting a new password on the lock screen and was greeted by the infuriating message "Since google has verified that your screen is already locked, the password you set won't be needed"

Fourth attempted fix: chat with samsung support, which was utterly useless. Although I did find out that samsung has their own unlock utility...except that it has to be setup beforehand.

Fifth attempted fix: bang head on cement...hasn't shown any signs of working yet. Although I feel less frustrated.......and less conscious.

Theories: free version of Google Apps, sucks (the apps themselves are great)...I've had tons of trouble getting signed into certain google features over the years. Also I have no option for a support PIN to use to contact google support.
I think that my latest OTA update may have somehow changed or reset my backup password.
The last theory is whomever changed Android device manager to not reset lockscreen passwords whenever you want to...basically made that tool half as useful as it should be and completely useless to me.

Anyone have any other ideas, that don't involve a full wipe?

M8 not recognizing SD card?

I have a SDHC 32 GB SD card that I'm trying to get to work on my (Verizon) M8...

It's formatted with FAT32, but for some reason it's not recognized by TWRP or any ROM it seems (Tried GPE, Sense, and CM based). However when entering the bootloader, it tries to scan the SD card for images, so I believe it's being recognized on a lower level, just not at the recovery / ROM level...


Any ideas?
