Nexus 5: Phone has no signal (SIM card works)

Fri, 16 Nov 2018 17:19:59 -0700

Hey all,

The Nexus 5 no longer gets a signal with the SIM card in. Tried the SIM in another phone, and it works fine. The IMEI is recognized on the phone, so I think it's a hardware issue. Is there a part I could replace to fix this? I'd prefer to keep this phone instead of ordering a new one.

Thanks!

edit: I should add, WiFi works fine, and it even says "No signal.|CITYFONE" in the pull down menu.

Hello,

I know the LG X POWER is considered to have a non removable battery.

However, I'm hardware hacking type guy and I was wondering if anyone has had any success with attempting this, and if so how?

Thanks,

Nexus 5: My Nexus5 restarts every 5-10seconds - what's the problem?

Wed, 19 Oct 2016 07:59:07 -0700

My phone restarts every 5-10 seconds. I had this issue before and back then pressing the power button multiple times until the phone had fully booted fixed it. However, this now only helps to prolong the time until it reboots for a few seconds, but isn't a fix anymore. Is it a power button issue or a software issue? (The problem started (like the time before) right after the last software update)

LG Optimus Black P970: The device doesn't recharge.

The tiny piece in the image came off, I fixed it with some superstrong glue and pressed the contact on both side down. Before try to recharge it I would like to know if there is danger, could it oxidize? and if yes, There is something that I can put on to isolate it from the air?

LG Android Phone: My Android LG died, now it wont charge or turn on.

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 20:07:12 -0700

Hello! Can you help me fix my phone?

Recently I dropped my phone on our hard tile floor--without a case--but it still worked fine. I actually played on it until it died. After it died, it was pretty late so I went to sleep after leaving it on the charger, which hadn't given me any problems. That next morning, I unplugged it and it wouldn't turn on at all. I plugged it in again, and a screen showing an empty battery with "0%" on it appeared. I was familiar with the screen, but was confused since I had left it on the charger for at least 9 hours straight.

It usually takes around 2-3 hours for it's battery to be full. We have a cat that chews wires, so I checked and there was a tear in the cord, but that had been there before and the cord had still worked. I even tried my sisters charger for the next 5 hours, with no luck.

Maybe you can help me? To sum it up, my phone died and now it won't charge or power on. The cord is not the problem, it still works for my other devices.

Here's a description of the phone:

-It's a black android

-The power button and volume buttons are on the back, with a camera among them, all "stacked" in the center of the top half of the phone.

-It has a 3 ringed logo just below the buttons, and the speaker is located on the bottom left of the phone.

-It also has the LG logo at the very bottom in the middle, to the right of the speaker.

-You CAN remove the battery, by removing the rubbery plastic on the back of the phone.

-This June 3rd I will have had it for one year. Plus the original cord.

I have tried taking the battery out to adjust the coppery prongs that connect it to the phone, which didn't work.

I have left it on multiple chargers for longer than needed, which did not work either...

I tried the combination of holding the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power Button down for a few seconds, which didn't work?

I don't mean to sound defeated if I do, but this is entirely frustrating. Can you please help me?

LG K10: My phone keeps freezing. What can I do?

Sun, 08 Mar 2020 04:17:04 -0700

Phone screen freezes. It was doing it about four months ago and just stopped. Now it's doing it again frequently.

It started off with maybe once a month. Now it's doing every day. I have no idea why it's doing it and when it freezes I can't do anything. I can't answer calls (I'm job searching), call out, message, anything. I've had it less than a year.

Nexus 5X: Earpiece replacement for buzzing sound

Wed, 17 Jul 2019 11:51:19 -0700

I think I have to replace my earpiece because of buzzing even at low volume.

Are this the right steps?

Remove back cover (snap clips)

Remove midplate (phillips screws, no flat cable connectors or soldering)

Change earpiece (no soldering, no flats, just sticker to keep it in place)

Thanks!
