Now i got myself a P9000 Helio arround 2 months ago, and since then i noticed some wierd stuff, and was wondering if anyone knows how to fix/whats going on.
Charging
After i plug it in any charger, after a few it shows the Elephone logo and does something that looks like a reboot, but its not a reboot, after it doesnt ask for PIN it just back at lockscreen.
This is quite annoying when you use it in your car, for speedtraps/music apps ect, it all shuts down, and it doesnt only do this once, does it more than 1 time, while pluged into the charger.
Both on wireless chargepad and cable charge.
Anyone know how to fix/remove this ?
Reinventing the wheel
For some really odd reason i noticed the messenger app, and the call app, aint the ones from Google, even tho they share the same icon and allmost the same setup, only reason i noticed it was due to the circle in rightside bot, wasnt there, where you make a new SMS.
So i started looking into it and then allso saw the call app was differnt.
Anyone know the reason to this?
Screenprotector
Yes everyone knows about this one, the original that comes with phone, is liftet in the edges by the allso original silicone cover, and quite quickly it looks like crap, doesnt stick in many places.
So i ordered a new one, unoriginal, and to my suprice, it was that tiny ince smaller than the original, and didnt get lifted , well my happyness was shortlived cuz after a few weeks, it allso choose not to stick arround the side where the volumerocker is
Does there exist a screenprotecter that can actualy stick to this phone ?
Silicone Cover
Well im not 100% sure about this one, but sometimes i find my phone turned all the way down to vibrate only, and not having use it, i suspect the silicone cover to be the suspect but im not quite sure.
Connecting it to Win10
The struggle, when i first plug it in, i can see and access it while it look for drivers, when it find the drivers, i can no longer access the phone or the SD card on the phone
Tried allmost all fixes, still no luck
Fingerprint Scanner
Anyone got it to work, ive simply gave up on it, and hated it vibrating everytime it reached into my pocket and scraped the scanner.
Overall im happy with the phone, but i dont quite understand why they have to try to reinvent it, its a cheap nice chineses phone, it doesnt need all the apps like Samsung and the other makes have, you cant get rid of, so im quite puzzled why they even bother, and not just use a base Cryo Mod
Hello.
For the reboot while charging problem, try this (copy pasted from another forum)
"try to disable the optiion -automatically backup- in setting, i think it could be the solution"
Btw, are you on the stock ROM?

Hey, and thanks for that advice, i will try that and see if it removed that
Yes i am still on stock ROM for the moment, only reason i didnt update it to 7.0 was due to them rolling out 7.0 this month they saied, and the fact than i still cant get it to communicate with my Win10
The vibrate setting is due to pushing the button on the left side in for a while. To revert back to full volume you need to push it in again. It sometimes does it automatically with the silicone cover on.

I bought the phone thinking i could fix it... i have tried all the suggestions on resolving white screen... i have attempted to load Schap's cooked rom 4.22 and not luck... the phone powers on, syncs up i can access the files thru windows explorer... it charges... but still just shows the white screen...
Now after multiple attempts at loading the rom, i was able to get the today screen up once, but then it went away...
I have the phone, battery, charger, usb cable and software cd....
Since i can access the files thru explorer... is there anything i can do that way to see if i can get this phone working? maybe some files i can delete or replace...
I have tried the hard reset and soft resets adn nothing helps..
when i try to load the TNT rom when it gets to the part that its going to begin loading, it kills the activesync and then complains that its not connected or has been disconnected...
Anything else i can try?
Read this page, maybe you'll find the necessary help.

Two things to try if you've not...
1) Open it up (it's quite rugged!) and check the screen connector is plugged in OK. A lot of white screens are simply loose cables apparently. There is a thread discussing this here. Also Mikechannon is your hardware guru and his website has some excellent information about disassembly/reassembly that should help you out.
2) Try using the application "mymobiler" (freeware) - which allows you to see your hermes screen on your desktop PC when connected over activesync. I've put a mirror of the setup file here until 23/01 as the www.mtux.com site was timing out occasionally while I was looking this up for you (might be my end tho!)
Finally - I don't recommend attempting to flash any more ROMs until the screen issue is updated as you can't see whats going on and there is a risk you could end up with a weirdo hybrid-type brick
Good luck - Hope you get it working and if all else fails (I know you don't want to hear this) but I'm sure some of us here would be interested in slipping you a few quid for spares if the worst came to the worst...
I had almost given up on the phone once i was offered money for it.. i originally took it apart and only checked the connections on the main motherboard.. and that didnt work.. after reading the HTC tech manual and noticing that the LCD also had a cable that connected to a slot and not physically part of the screen i decided to open the LCD casing also.. and sure enough it was the LCD screen cable.. unless you really paid attention you would have never notice.. but i could see a slight angle on the cable connection, it was barely lose on one corner.. i re-seated the connection closed it up and less than 5 minutes the phone was working...
THANK YOU!!!!
I was able to fix a phone i bought for $75 and loaded TNT rom on it lastnight.. and have been customizing it the rest of the night and today...
Funny part is the guy who sold it to me, said it only need to have the ROM reloaded on it..
THANKS again for the suggestions and links... i have saved and booked marked everything..
I guess i spoke to soon... after posting that i was on my way with a nicely used $75 phone. The screen started to fade white....
Using My Mobiler i can see my desktop of the phone.. i can access and do everything... but the screen is white.. and it still functions as far as touch screen, so if guess at where things are i can tap on them and the phone reacts...
So now im back to square 1 with the phone, but atleast this time i know that it is functional software wise just cant see anything..
I opened it up 2 times since it went out and re-verified all connections.. everything has been reseated.. still no improvement.. if im lucky, it will come up to display but once i start tapping around on the screen it will slowly fade out to white...
I have noticed that alot of people have mentioned that after getting the white screen they load another rom on the phone and works for a while then starts to act up again.. can someone tell me how they are loading a rom on a phone with a white screen?
I mean i know the phone works besides the display since i have My Mobiler i can see and do anything i want on the phone.. but thats only good with a active connection thru activesync...
I dont want to try and reload a rom on the phone and mess it up more than it already is..
The screen will display for a few seconds sometimes.. and then fade out to white..
I will have to trade it in if i cant find a solution for my issue
Basically i have only 2 issues with my phone
1) I keep my phone in my back pocket generally, but quite often when i pull it out of my pocket, the little door for the sim card/charger has popped open........ altho it makes me a bit scared to submerge it, i can live with this
2) This is the dealbreaker, if i cant solve this the z2 will be getting sold and something else will take its place. Again this only occurs in my pocket, but every single time i pull phone out, its changed the homescreen...... widgets either get added toor removed from homescreen, apps open and run, music player starts and stops by itself, notification bar quick settings icons get added or removed, flight mode gets activated, silent activated etc
I believe this is caused ny the screen reacting to metals, wood and lead, is therea way to turn this feature off so it will only work with my finger touching the screen?
As i said, its a fantastic phone and id like to keep it, but as long as it gonna keep doing these random things in my pocket then its just not worth keeping
You could see if 'Glove mode' is selected in Settings > Display. If it is, turn it off.

Your flap is defective. Same thing happened to me. I've bought a new flap (for about 10€) and now it's fine.
Then, don't open your flap too often, prefer wireless file transfer and charging via magnetic port.

The screen will still respond to metal objects and pencil lead etc, but it should be activated by your backside through your jeans anymore.
Crap..... glove mode is not switched on........ guess it gotta go up for sale then. Will be sad to see it go tho, n yeah already got magnetic charger n wireless connect.... ive only actually opened that door twice lol
Or another possibility, as im rooted, is there something i could remove/freezethat will stop the screen responding to other materials????
Not to my knowledge. It's strange, I often carry mine in my back pocket (screen facing inwards) and have never had the screen turn on. I can't say the same for my G3 which often turns the screen on.
Since it is isolated case and no one else expierenced this as far as i can tell its user error, you got dodgy apps or there is something wrong with the way you handle the phone.

possibly but i wouldnt have thought so..... i dont treat this phone any differently to any other phone ive owned (well.... actually i havent thrown the z2 across the room...... yet, lol) and as far as apps go, i only actually have 5 or 6 downloaded apps installed, all of which i have used without issue on previous phones, and deleted around half of the useless (to me) pre loaded system apps, and its been doing it since i had it, well since a few days after i got it, but the first few days were a weekend and i wasnt at work just chilling at home so phone didnt really go in pocket

Actually yesi do have that switched on..... even if that the cause tho, my work trousers arent made of wood,metal or lead so screen shouldnt be responding to my backside. I will turn it off n see how it goes tho, it might be the cause but then again you gotta be quite precise for that double tap t work anyway and my backside is tiny lol so maybe not........ great suggestion tho

Well I just tried my phone unlocked against my jeans and it still detects and operates the screen... So you never know
Steve
I have knock on turned off - otherwise when walking with the phone in my pocket listening to the FM radio, I end up sending several texts and emails....
Update: It appears it was actually the 'tap to wake' causing the issue..... i turned it off and went to work friday night and when i got home saturday morning phone was exactly how it should have been, no open apps, no options changed, no icons removed. Nice feature but think ill leave it off forever lol
Aloha,
I have a Stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I was sitting on my couch watching tv when my phone lit up. I thought I got a message, picked it up and it said the charger connected is not genuine and charging was stopped to protect the phone (not the exact message). It was not plugged into anything. I ignored the screen. After a few minutes the screen activated again but was completely black with the exception of a tiny "x" in the bottom left corner of the screen. A voice came on and said to connect my Gear VR and install the Gear VR app. I do not own a Gear VR and until this issue did not know what it was. There was nothing I could do to get out of the screen. I tried to restart the phone and couldn't. Finally did a hard reboot. After booting up like normal it was only a minute before it did the same thing again. It renders the phone completely useless. I booted into safe mode and uninstalled everything related to Gear VR. There were no less than 3 apps that I did not install (I am assuming Samsung pushed them to the phone). It seemed to do the trick but the next day the apps were back and it did it again. I called Verizon, they had no idea what to do. They had me wipe the phone. It worked for a day before doing it again. I called Samsung and they had never heard of the issue. I can't find a thread here of anyone else with the issue either, however there are at least 50 people on YouTube that have commented on the following video with the same issue.
Here is a video of the issue (not me but someone else with the same issue)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtdahXCetu4
Here is the deal... Samsung was unable to help. They sent me a new phone under warranty. Its been 2 weeks and now the new one is doing the same thing!!!! I don't understand how this is so persistent an issue and no one on xda has posted on it. To make things more complicated when I had the first issue I was able to go into safe mode then application manager and uninstall the apps. Now they are appearing are no longer appearing under "installed" apps, it appears with the system apps and cannot be uninstalled. I have never experienced anything like this.
So there it is, I am hoping the genius of XDA can help where Samsung has failed. Thank you in advance for all the great work you guys do!

I was able to find a work around for the problem. I am not satisfied considering Samsung has offered no solution and taken no responsibility. However, if you boot into safe mode by holding the volume down and power button at the same time you can use your phone. Then go to play store and download Package Disabler Pro. This will allow you to disable the faulty Samsung Gear VR bloatware apps without rooting. It's a $2 band-aid but the solution worked for me. It has the added bonus of getting rid of all the other bloatware they load on the phone too. NFL app, I am looking at you! There was someone who said they cleaned the usb port and that worked. It didn't work for me though. So far no help from the XDA community, what's up with that?
I already install the app... thanks for the tip... but my USB port is not responding.... no charging, some times show me power sharing USB mode on... no OTG working... do you have and a idea of how to clean it?

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean your electronics. Typically a q-tip works fine but it will not get into the port so you need to find something that will get in there. You might be able to use a cloth dipped in the alcohol and something narrow like the blunt end of a needle to work it in the port. Don't go too crazy. Rubbing the alcohol along the contacts is usually sufficient. Unless you got something corrosive on the contacts. Good luck to you.
my s6 edge was having the same problem every time i plug the cable in the micro usb port, samsug gear vr pops out and next black screen with x. additional problem 1. not able to recognize by pc 2. disconnecting while charging 3. fast charging is not working 4. sometimes it take 4 hrs to charge.
having this problem for almost a month now tried everything from hard reset , cleaning the micro usb port and i dont wanna wait for 3 months without a phone for the warranty
fortunately i was able to fix it by my self yesterday. the problem was the flat metal in the middle of the micro usb port was pushed downward (screen facing up) so i just needed to lift it up a bit by using some flat tweezers (pls be careful) and everything works fine now.. solved all the problems i mentioned above
work 100%
Hi, I have a problem with my T399n.
My phone doesn't turn on, I installed CM12 and it was good, then I flashed the stock ROM from metro again, everything was good about a month, one day I made a call, whatsapp, text and then I put it in my pocket, then when I pulled it out like 10 minutes later and it was rebooting, I didn't pay attention to this because sometimes my phone reboots itself, later It was power off. I pulled the battery, reinserted it and nothing, connected usb cable, nothing, tried to charge it and nothing, Its like my phone died. Looking for a fix, there is the usb jig that work with others galaxy's.
So I just want to know if I'm fried or if there's a last hope to revive this phone with the usb jig
Thanks!
Something similar to this happened to me, would love to know the answer...
just today...
just today, not 2 hours ago at most I was playing around with my galaxy light, deciced to root and mod it.. first step was to, ofc flash a custom recovery... well like most things I pursue I ended up fighting the damn thing for HOURS!! could not get it to register on my computer for the life of me.. now I'm far from a dev and probably one of the least experienced on/around here but something so trivial as lack of drivers, udev, faulty port/cords isn't my forte.. so eventually I whipped out my handy dandy usb jig and .... nothing... *head scratch* hmmm.... now its got my attention... so I get out the multimeter usb data/charging cable and it does show signs of life, easily registering 5.1v / 0.4 mah ... now I'm getting anxious.... so its time for the next test... usb-otg connected to dbl usb-type-A converter to connect to the pooter (it never works but I wish it would ) and nothing there... so otg to my main mobile, reverse it... hmmm seems this lil guy is taking in charge and no data xfer of any kind... since id already rotated various cables I turned my attention to the charging port.. under 6x magnification and too many lumens light I could hardly see any problems but persisted with the 99% isopropyl anyhow... end result "wtf is wrong with this garbage....?) and just as I went to throw it at the wall I spotted my personal "boneyard" where all of my former problematic/faulty devices end up and just in sight was another tmobile galaxy light, broken lcd but logic board intact.. so a quick flip of the wrist and a smack on the back and the 2 became one... fired her up, plugged it in and BAM.. instantly detected... and for some reason I cant quite seem to put my finger on, I had the urge to power it back off and insert my usb jig one final time to see if it infact would work with the galaxy light.... *device in left hand... jib in the right.... bead of sweat steadily sliding down my ruffled brow... time seemed to all but come to a screeching halt as the two came closer until the moment of trust had arrived... the initial contact, the penetration (lol) .. the pause... BOOM factory mode*
so, now that u read that half illiterate rambling from a barely educated redneck shut-in to determine if the usb jig works with galaxy light or not .. the answer is yes... it does unless its a piece of crap like one of the 2 I own is...

It does in fact work. If asking about the USB mount, from my knowledge you would've had to already installed them by turning the function on like I did in the first screen shot.
If you need them I can link them to my drive or mega. Whichever is best. Think I have drop box still too.
And yes. I have bricked this phone I'm using now for a solid 3 days when I first started with it. However cm12 has bugs, after the second time it rebooted and bricked on me I went back to Tigerlily I even had no SIM error but somehow fixed that when flashed back to stock. Cm12 caused me to flash back to stock about 3 times a day. Too much headache. Guess thats why we are not supposed to do this to our primary phones. on tigerlily ive Had a little trouble keeping super su in his place too, Got home last night and POOF, just gone for no known reason. finally got him to stick by installing him into the system with lucky patcher. Flashify, flashfire, and even rom installer all failed to keep him there. . I have also stripped down almost every file just for fun to see what other fine items I could damage, Finally found where they hide the dialer codes for the phone. They are not in any files that i have spent the last for years looking in. The codes are inside of the APK. The last place I decided to look. Everything I know is self taught and just recently started working with apps for windows 10 and merging android files into windows apps.
Now , I'm actually quite impressed with it's capabilities .
Really what's helped me dial everything in was the helped of an app called Mixplorer with all the ad-on's all of which are free.
Good luck with your brick. Myself, I have 3 other phones I'm currently working on unbricking. One of which is a hard bricked LG motion. Flashed th err wrong firmware to it a year ago. Just this week got the cup to recognize it. the code to get into the first service menu pictured here on the bottom left is *#0808#

after taking the module apart and putting it back the phone stuck not booting up with a message "insert a supported module to turn on your phone".
The issue I believe is not related to the module itself, since the same story with camera module.
The phone could have been exposed to the high humidity the day before. Before taking it apart the phone used to make occasional sound notification like it has been plugged in to charge.
Tried to clean data pins, disassemble it but no success.
I am having the same exact problem and I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix it?

no, LG has told me to send the device for a service.
I'm on a trip and quite far from any cell phone store but I would appreciate on updates with your phone as well.
upd. I have a suspicion on two metal pins going from the module. if that's the module detector pins, then they might not be connected properly. blocking them w a tape on a working phone could shed some light on this theory.
My Experience
Thought I was the only one with this problem! My phone suddenly started constantly flashing the "USB" symbol with the "Insert Cable to Charge Phone" message and associated beep, which forced me to turn off the master volume...so I couldn't hear the phone ring!. The "Insert Supported Module" happened a few times at the beginning when I first pulled out and re-inserted the module/battery, but then mysteriously stopped. I went to an AT&T store and swapped the module with their display phone, and it seemed to stop (at least for the 5+ min I tried it), so I've been trying to find a replacement bottom module (I believe it's called the "Charging Module" or "Loudspeaker"), but to no avail. I tried purchasing one (SSTParts dot com look for "LG G5 Loudspeaker"), but that came without the electronic board, so I also picked up Ebay #282082091333) to go with it...but lo and behold, when I put them together and tried it, the phone gives me the "Insert Supported Module" message and won't boot. I then tried the old circuit board with the new housing, and it did boot up...but the flashing USB came back, at least for a few minutes. So I'm waiting to see if the problem comes back full blast. So we now know that the phone will only take an OEM part, at least regarding the electronics. Called LG to see if I could buy one, but they said I had to send it in for repairs...which I don't want to do (you know how it is with intermittent problems...). One thing I was able to do was to turn off the "Notification" volume (there are four Volume controls in the "Sound" settings; this is the 3rd one down) and it seems that this quieted the problem...so it keeps happening, but it's not causing me any functional concerns...though I worry that one day it might. I've looked at Ebay #401119970468, but though it looks identical, the listing says it's for an H850, and mine's the H820...so is it worth the risk? Any other updates or ideas out there? I'm thinking of going to the AT&T store and swapping out the display model's module when no one's looking...
I sent my phone for service. Hopefully I'll have the news soon.
Okay, so they they returned the phone back to the store saying "the damage is too expensive" and it's beyond the warranty. I'm pretty mad, will go to pick it up and see wtf is going on.
Won't turn back on..

Happened to me about 5 minutes ago. Try blowing some air on the module.. trust me it will work.
Also if no airdryer is handy, take out the module let it sit out overnight and reconnect few hours later.it works. It gives time to dry out. This is a major flaw.mother****ers; They owe us the G6
Air it out it'll come back at around half an hour,expect it to also have low battery power.
airing it out didnt work for me.
the only thing that worked for me was to replace the bottom part, ie. the charging module. I got one from ebay and it worked like a charm. My g5 is almost back in its new condition.
on ebay, search for Genuine Charging Module Bottom Chin
Fixed
My wife's phone had this same problem. I think it mostly dirty contacts that cause this problem. I used contact cleaner, let dry assembled and it worked great. These companies have you over a barrel when you send it in.
this issue is with the dumb bottom power module I have same issue but I am lucky that I had bought the LG Camera module that has this module built in, so I had a backup so to speak (other than I can't use my case at the moment) and Sprint no longer has the module, so I will be ordering these http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/282313529509?chn=ps&dispItem=1 (They look new and having a pack of 3 of these should be worth it.) hopefully this works for others too.
Thanks.
I have a doubt
I have in my hands 2 g5 phones
one from sprint and one from cellcom?fixme?
however I CAN NOT exchange this module among phones. If I do so, I receive the error which prevents booting.
But every module works fine on its phone
I talked to a friend who received a lot of these phones for sale
all from sprint, and he say he could not exchange this part in the phones and instead he had to mark every part to its phone to prevent accidental swapping.
I told to him it should be impossible to be this way, and came to this forum/thread to satisfy my ignorance.
any comments?

however I CAN NOT exchange this module among phones. If I do so, I receive the error which prevents booting.
But every module works fine on its phone
I talked to a friend who received a lot of these phones for sale
all from sprint, and he say he could not exchange this part in the phones and instead he had to mark every part to its phone to prevent accidental swapping.
I told to him it should be impossible to be this way, and came to this forum/thread to satisfy my ignorance.
any comments?

Okay, so they they returned the phone back to the store saying "the damage is too expensive" and it's beyond the warranty. I'm pretty mad, will go to pick it up and see wtf is going on.

This is far far too late, I know. But those brass (I assume, as they are contacts which would need to be fairly durable) connectors you mentioned covering are 100 % the problem. I lightly, and I do mean very lightly, wet the pad of my fingertip and wet each of those connectors for the hope of conductivity. It worked like a charm. After around 100x of the module error, blowing with a blow dryer and trying to clean off the inner contacts blindly, it finally worked. I've had to do this on a few occasions now and it always works.
Hope this helps someone out,

I found the solution, you dont have to buy another one, it's just maintenance.
I tried doing some maintenance to all metal contacts I found and it's fixed right away, I assume this would apply to most if not all cases, some contact points are in the upper phone body, so no wonder why someone would get the error with any modules he/she tried. Let me know if it works for you but I think it will, you dont need to buy another part/phone.
Don't forget to hit the THANKS button.

Ok it's been a week or two after I dissassembled the charging piece and posted those pictures and all that and IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. I noticed it happened because my battery was totally dead and I tried to start charging from my computer's USB 3.0, I remember it also started like this the first time, SO, I guess it's a software thing, not hardware. As soon as you plug it to the computer it will start taking energy, so, you know that even if you unplug the phone from anything, it will still show the error message supported module blabla. As soon as this happens to you, UNPLUG THE PHONE so it doesnt take charge, so, if it keeps showing the error message by itself and hopefully the battery would be so low that it wont show it for more than a minute before it shuts off due to battery. (I know you would say, well, just hard cycle the phone by taking the battery out and in again and try to turn it on or to plug to normal charger, I tried this but it would still show the error, even after I tried draining phone by holding power button without battery for like 1 min, only way that seemed to "reset" it was if batt COMPLETELY died, there's a point where if u try to turn on it only says like "battery too low to turn on"), SO, after battery COMPLETELY died, I plugged it to A NORMAL CHARGER and it worked it time.
SO, if battery is dead, I wont try to charge by PC USB for now
Just happened to my phone out of nowhere.
I kept getting the usb connection options message on my phone, then it just kept buzzing for no reason. So I went to restart the phone and now I'm getting the Insert Supported Module error.
I already know AT&T and our phone insurance will be completely useless. Damn phone isn't even paid off. The LG G5 was the BIGGEST waste of money ever. I hate this stupid phone.
