My only issue with Swiftkey X is I cannot get rid of word prediction on the hardware keyboard, even when I check disable auto complete for physical keyboard...takes up valuable screen real estate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] otariq:
Really?? maybe reinstall it I just downloaded it to try and that was the first thing I disabled
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
That's why I love it, prediction for the hardware keyboard :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Lazy ******* :) 55 is up and should fix the problem with 54.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
Thanks flinny, this new build works very smooth.

Btw is there is a reason why the smaller keyboard is still present in the new build?

The only real issue left with ICS for me is that it gets a laggy after using it an entire day, which you can fix by just closing down the open apps. I just wonder why ICS doesn't do this automatically (compared to GB which remains fast even after days of uptime)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
The keyboard change is an upstream change, not one we made. I quite like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxFerociouS:
Is it okay to flash over 54?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
I love the new kb :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
It usually should be possible. As always though if you have problems do a wipe first and see if they still exist before reporting anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
That would be an awesome feature but no that does not exist....yet :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nelsdzyre:
I get this too. No wonder my navigation yesterday seems weird lol. I thought it just me see things wrongly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
Well, so far I was having problem with Wi-Fi enabling every time (except the first one after system boot) I didn't do it through settings. For example I can do it by notification widgets after system boot, but after trying to do it there again, Wi-Fi will block and the system will restart itself shortly after.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarthaFokker:
Been having this problem since i first started using this rom at build 17 IIRC.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] greed2:
No. A crude insertion. The Gallery does not work, does not see music on a card. I take down.:crying:wait new with FIX.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Photopuppet:
I also have the reverse compass problem. Noticed when on a walk last week. :D

Have had no problem with wi-fi at all though, unlike some earlier posts... have you got latest radio version, wiped EFS and so on?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
If you do a full wipe and still have the problem then provide a logcat and we can try to figure it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] greed2:
how can i get logcat ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] toyorg:
adb logcat > logcat.txt

My compass works almost perfectly - which is weird. Normally, it is off by 15-30 degrees! With this rom, it off by only 5 degrees or so. I didn't realize the compass could be affected from rom to rom. However as this obviously is the case, does anyone know how I can calibrate the compass?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] toyorg:
Maybe try this method.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Unfortunately, I already have - I guess my question is if you can effect change on the compass on a rom level.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SystemIcon:
Are you running 53?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] becksbiertrinker:
same issue here.. on my device its depending on the orientation of my phone. when i align it in east west direction (or vice versa) north and south is changes...aligning along the north south and the direction is correct (though it seems to be a bit off) . everything in between leads to completely wrong directions.. really strange this but its reproducable at different locations.. calibrating the compass doesn´t improve anything...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Yesh. But this issue has been persistent (albeit much more so) across all my roms on my phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sandrome:
The compass seems not to work at all for me. If I turn the phone in one direction the compass turns in the exact same direction while it should turn in the other direction to remain stable and point to north. As far as i remember it worked until ics.

Running .53 - very smooth, really cool.

Only thing that bothers me is that no media files are being found at all - I didn't find anything in this thread regarding that issue, maybe I've missed it. But is this a known issue or can it be fixed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SystemIcon:
Yes, the polarity is reversed.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Actually, its a bit more complicated than that. I've been playing around with it, and the direction displayed is dependent on how the phone is oriented. The polarity is reversed between when the phone lies flat on a surface, and when the phone is held vertical perpendicular to that position. You also get a 90 degree rotation in polarity when the phone is held perpendicular to the surface, but in landscape (like you would hold it when using the physical keyboard). Rotating the phone one hundred eighty degrees also reverses the polarity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
My compass changes drastically based on my slight movement from a flat plane (g) in any direction. I think this symptom correlates with what you are saying here.

My question is - is this fixable?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SystemIcon:
Its fixable.. it relates to syncing the accelerometer and magnetometer working together properly with SensorManager.getRotationMatrix()

I'm not the expert though, so I haven't yet figured out how to fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nivlac978:
I can't download it. Tried it on my nexus 7 as well. I'm away from my computer right now, I guess I'll just have to wait till I get home.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebogmonster:
yep the compass bearing is getting flipped because the pitch angle sensitivity is telling the sensor that the phone is upside down. it seems to flip at around 12 deg from flat - shouldn't be a massive issue to sort it,

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] milaremi:
Is anyone having a problem with this rom not finding an SD-ext partition? It used to show up in CM7.2 for me, but doesn't now. Am trying to free up some space by moving some apps to my existing EXT partition...

Otherwise, this is running well, thanks for your hard work Finny!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kafarnsworth:
I'm using sd-ext and it seems to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tiger2wander:
Hard bricked!!!

I have running build 53 normally, a few hours gaming and SMS then go sleep, suddenly when I try to turn it on to watch the clock, its not responsive anymore, pull out battery then push it in again still not help :( I have replace battery with another backup battery and plugged USB cable but it still off. Look like it is hard bricked as I tried may way but still can not get it power on even with HBoot nor any vibration.

I think it has problem with power control, hope it was interrupted power line, most worst case is dead flash :( I will bring it for repair tomorrow. Praying for my Desire Z.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Indiwiz:
the notification bar "freezes" at times. it won't pull down, the status icons won;t update, and notifications don't do anything. (once it even got stuck with text from an sms coming in.) the app "Notification Restart" doesn't fix this, only a reboot (which takes too long w/o the option for a hot reboot.) any fix for this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .ili.music.ili.:
Wow, that's horrible. I hope you can get it fixed and figure out how it happened.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] staticshadow:
This might sound weird, but, plug in your phone and leave it that way. Take out and put back your battery like 5 times or more. It sounds weird I know, but the same thing happened to me and that somehow woke up my phone.

Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .ili.music.ili.:
Try using the wall charger too. Something like this did happen to me. Connecting via USB wasn't doing the trick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tiger2wander:
I tried everything, with / without usb / wall charger. I have external charge and can check that my battery charged already, I have another backup battery also (was fully charged already) but nothing help. Look like it is not problem with battery, because of it was 72% last time I seen it (15 minutes before it was sleep forever). Keep hold Vol Up / Down together with power, but nothing happen: no led blinking, no vibrate, no screen ...

Have a plan to send it to repair but today it is fully rainy day & storm :(

My warranty card is remaining for 6 months but the sad news is it will not valid if my phone can not power on anymore :(

Anyway, thanks for your advised!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thebogmonster:
you may want to try removing the battery, sim & sdcard and leaving the phone for a good few hours before putting just the battery back in and trying to power up again,

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Indiwiz:
What you should try is moving the charger around in the port. These Visions have problems with the charger port. On multiple G2s my battery would show incorrect battery levels, suddenly rise or fall in percentage, then die. I'd have to leave it plugged in for a while, holding the charger in a certain position. Try this, I'm pretty sure your phone isn't dead yet. You should get a replacement ASAP, and backup everything once you get it booted.

Also find someone with a battery that fits your phone, and put it in the phone (charged of course). That'll determine the problem.

Do we have these drivers? I seen this in another forum.. https://developer.qualcomm.com/mobi...phics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MIkeRD03:
I have a problem with certain anti theft software running on 53 and also with another DesireZ running mimicry 1.3.2. It´s the most recent beta2 from Avast Anti Theft with Internet communication. So you are able to send commands to your mobile in case the stolen mobile has any Internet connection. So far so good, but when the phones are sleeping they miss the most commands from the control server. When awake with screen on everything is fine.

Perhaps someone here has an idea what may cause that too deep sleep? Perhaps an energy saving feature in JB and ICS ROM?

I don´t wanna miss this piece of software cause it served my very well one time when my first DesireZ was stolen. Today it´s back in my hand thanks to this anti theft software, but this is another wild story :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] agazza:
prepare for bad news if you are rooted. It voids all warranty, even if it's a hardware problem. And even if you flash stock rom and S-off again, you have to reset flash counter aswell.

I am having an issue where the google apps think I am in a different city/state than I am. For some reason they all think I am in Fort Worth Texas. Running build 53. I did the regular, wipe cache, flash rom, correct permissions routine. Google Maps/Nav works. If I actually go into Facebook Check In it works, but the auto tagging, weather, google now etc are all fluxed. Anyone else having this or do I need to wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhkr234:
That is not just incorrect, it is retarded and also ILLEGAL.

In order to decline warranty coverage, they need to PROVE that the failure was a result of the modification, it is otherwise covered for ALL issues unrelated to the modification.

THAT INCLUDES PHYSICAL/HARDWARE MODIFICATIONS AS WELL!!!!

Got a little question. My Kaspersky app wont work, because it keeps saying "has to be installed in the internal storage". When I try to push it to internal storage via titanium backup nothing happens. Can please somebody tell me how to fix that problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MIkeRD03:
Yea, SMS communication works fine here, too. But I am using the most recent beta that additionally has Internet communication. You have an Avast Login to their Web page where you can control your handy without SMS and therefore totally invisible. You send out a command via network and the mobile (should) react. By my two cells does it not with every try. Sometimes they do, but in most times they doesn't. Since it works great when wake up my guess is a too deep sleep. The questions is, is this possible?

Mike
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
If it is an issue with sleep, it would be on the app since other push notifications work. It could be the service that receives the commands is getting killed also.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GinoAMelone:
I feel the need to point out that what is, and is not, illegal varies wildly from country to country. Within the US, it also varies from state to state. Be careful with blanket claims like this.

I'm on, I think, my fifth or sixth G2. I've had no end of HW issues with them; failing wifi, proximity-sensor and USB port.

In all cases, but one*, I've un-rooted and restored to stock before mailing out. All of them have been handled without incident by T-Mobile as warranty replacements.

Before calling T-Mobile for a replacement, I always nandroid, superwipe and install a rooted, stock ROM to confirm that the problem isn't ROM-specific.

*In that one case, the USB port wouldn't work reliably as a data port. Charging was fine. I got fed up and just sent it back to T-Mobile with a stock ROM but still S-OFF.

On a related note, my proximity sensor has begun flaking out again. The annoying thing is that my wife has had a G2 as long as I have and hasn't had any problems. Now, she's a little gentler than I am, but I'm not really rough with my phones. Don't think I've dropped the current one at all. Anybody else have problems with this sensor?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] agazza:
Yes, in that case meaby it will be fine, but in the case we are discussing, he flashed a Testbuild ROM and cannot restore anything or do any troubleshooting. I think it´s a longshot to send it in for repair.

Btw, when mine broke, i just looked att the swedish equivalent to pricerunner, looked at the posts that gave the lowest score, a.k.a iphone users who bought the wrong phone and couldnt use it.

Whatever kernel changes were made seem to have worked wonders, apps aren't crashing and i can actually flick between things without the entire os grinding to a halt for a minute or so.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sefy:
Wow! that's about sums it up! i "took a dive" last night and decided to try it, as i didn't see anyone listing exactly what works and what doesn't, so the curiosity killed the cat (no animals harmed during the writing of this post!) and i backed up and flashed the rom and the gapps and for all it's worth, here's my little first timer thoughts on the 3.x-53 build (now i'm gonna try 61!):

The Great!

- Boots Really Fast!

- WiFi works super fast

- Bluetooth (turns on and pairs, i don't have much to test with it, sorry)

- 3G Data works flawlessly for me

- Calls/SMS also working without any issues

- All my daily applications worked without an issue

- Even Google Now seems to be working (sluggishly at times, but understandable)

- Physical Keyboard works great and even Touch Keyboard is much more responsive.

- Camera worked fast (i hardly use it, i just took a photo to see if it works, didn't test Video)

The.. not so great ;)

- Gallery doesn't show my Picasa (i couldn't see Picasa synced in the account choices)

- Battery heated up, probably due to the default upto 1500mhz clocking :P

- There is some sluggishness (i used build 53!) even when opening Drawer or going thru the screens (Each screen is with Widget)

The known ones :P

- The usual text corruption (don't know if it is happening on 61 yet)

Requests (if allowed)

- Ext3/4 Partition support... pretty please ? :fingers-crossed:

(Solved with DataSwap + Auto SD-EXT & SD-Swap Enabler thanks to kbeezie)

Mmm... that's about it really... hadn't had any application crash on me and now i'm gonna try the new build!

Seriously, as a basic user, this can be considered as a daily driver for sure.

Awesome work to the developers... now if you guys can do that to the 3G Slide... :D

NOTE: Just cleared Cache and updated to 61 build, so far it's even smoother then before!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spjuggalojoe:
Sweet! Thank you and thanks to all the devs!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
You still have to if you don't like the 1.5ghz max clock... will look into this once some of the other issues are fixed but for now push the power.vision.so that you want.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Not sure what you mean by this? I've installed this rom just fine on ext4, and I usually leave them as ext4 on account of mimicry (ICS) needing it, and most ICS roms supporting it just fine.

Not sure why you'd want to go back to ext3 for anything ICS and beyond.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sefy:
What i mean is being able to use S2E to have installed applications on SD-Ext partition instead of internal memory.

Using FreeSpace, it doesn't even detect my SD-Ext (Ext4) partition.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
oh ext3/ext4 has nothing to do with "SD-EXT", /data /system /cache etc are usually formated as either ext3 or ext4 so just saying that by itself doesn't say sd-ext. To enable would be nothing more than an init script.

ie: the Dataswap/SDExt enabler in my signature works with this jellybean rom (well I don't know if dataswap does or not yet, but the SD-Ext enabler has since build 31). And to clarify you don't use any additional applications at all with the enabler, only the script that it installs (Which will do the migration for you if it detexts the sd-ext).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sefy:
Ohh.... I like it! gonna try now! :silly:

Any chance this would be default in the "final" release? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
But (at least for me) it happens way less often than it did in ICS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I don't think so, I haven't seen it as a 'default' in any ICS/JB rom outside of say EliteMod.
