[General Questions and Answers] sphogat:
I just installed ICS for my T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (USA) via Samsung Kies. Everything works fine except for one problem. Every single time I pull up a text box to search something, write a text, email, note, etc. an icon appears on the top left of my notification bar displaying a keyboard.

When I pull down the Notification Bar, the keyboard symbol is under the "ongoing" section and says "Select Input Method" and then underneath it in smaller letters it says the name of the keyboard selected.

If I click on the message, it takes me to the normal "select input method" where it shows all keyboard options.

How can I get rid of this icon. It is so so annoying, every time I type anything it pops up on the top left of my screen. I tried to uninstall keyboards, repush the firmware in kies (Tools>firmware upgrade initialization), do a complete factory reset and not backing up anything and losing all info. It still shows that bar. I asked on the T-Mobile Facebook page where they announced the ICS update if anybody else had this problem but it's just me apparently.

Someone PLEASE HELP!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Marfere:
Are you using more than one keyboard? I do and since then I can never get rid of that icon either. If I deactivate Swiftkey the icon disappears but I can't deactivate the standard keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] sphogat:
The sign appears no matter what. Even if I uninstall all the extra keyboards, the phone still comes with "Swype" and "Samsung Keyboard" both of which can't be uninstalled :(

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suryateja.sun:
Have you installed any battery saving apps, that might be the problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c65:
No, but as i guess , the problem connected with apps which want to connect to internet, because I turn off internet connection on my phone..

i have other problem with mic, when someone call me their hear me after 2-3 seconds. As I found out, this problem is very spread, but no solution is suggested.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suryateja.sun:
Haven't u updated to 2.3.6? It may solve your voice issues.

Can you figure out apps running in the background that make screen turn on/off?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c65:
I installed 2.3.7, but no change, Yes I found that app- it is compass.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suryateja.sun:
Check the settings of that compass whether screen is on/off? Are you using stock or CM ROM? Check also the display settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChortiRok:
Try lowering your display brightness...that worked for me.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it's just mine, but I notice that when my battery is totally dead, and I put the Xoom on the charger, it starts up OK, but the screen is very unresponsive. I have to really redo things to get it to work...

Now, is it because the low battery isn't supplying enough voltage for the screen? Just wondering if this is normal. After the battery is charged, all is good again.

Hello guys,

I got my new HOX yesterday, an HT23 model. So far this is the only issue I've found:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnBY-rvhbts

it's quite annoying, but I'd never push it like that tough. I bought it online, so I should just send it back and wait for a replacement. Would you guys do that? Or is that a "normal" behavior??

Thx in advance.
[HTC One X] TFDRA:
If its really annoying, you should swap it, but if everything is functioning good and it doesnt bother you, you should keep it :)
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
Most HOX will do that so save yourself hassle and don't swap Iv had 3 and they all done it current one not as bad as first but its not noticeable or replicable if just using handset like a normal person
[HTC One X] DomFel:
I've also noticed a very very small gap on top of the screen, which is not present in all other sides of it. Would it be a problem in the long run??
[HTC One X] srashedian:
Hi, Mine has that gap too... Not a problem for me though, I just ignore it :D

The problem with the screen is completely normal, it is an LCD, so it should be like that (Liquid Crystal Display, when you push your finger on liquid it'll compress and change form, thus changing color) you can test this on your computer or television and same thing will happen there more or less.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] times_infinity:
I need one or a few people to test something for me.

Please know that there is a chance you can brick. Use a 'safe' recovery and other procedures while testing this, last person that test for me didn't run into any problems. Doesn't mean you won't.

Please PM me so I can link you to what I need tested. Thank you.

hey guys i was using checkrom and i flashed criskelo's ics rom via abyss kernel...it flashed fine then it got stuck on bootloop...cwm recovery is still working and i can still go to download mode...but i can'y flash anything except franco's r3 kernel...which i had on my sd card...i am not able to flash any rom or even abyss kernel....what options do i have??? the last thing i want to do is to use pc odin...and if that is the only option then which stock rom should i use? Thanks.

EDIT: got it fixed by flashing old franco kernel 10...then flashing abyss kernel...and back to checkrom... Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
try again with the following steps (do the exact steps please) :

If you flashed criskelo's ics rom successfully and you're still in bootloop, reboot to recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe and reboot again.....

- Flash the stock LB1 from the same thread you had up there with Odin, then flash CF Root kernel for LB1 just like you did for LA4

- Boot the ROM, let it settle for 10-15 minutes, then check if you have full root (copy/paste files to /system)

- Reboot your ROM couple of times again and check again for full root access

- After leaving it for another 10-15 minutes, copy "AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo" and "ICS_Stunner_1.4.19" to your internal sd card (MUST be the SAME zips as mentioned)

- Long-press power button and choose reboot to recovery

- Go to install zip from sd card --> choose zip from internal sd card --> choose "AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo"

- Check if flashing is successful, it should say "Install from sd card complete" in the end

- Select Go back, then go to Advanced --> Reboot Recovery

- If you do not have the Redpill Touch Recovery then you choose the wrong zip, download the right one and repeat the previous three steps:

It should say "RedPill Touch Recovery by AF974" at the top and "CWM v5.5.0.4" at the bottom in white, the rest of options are in red

- Go to Wipe menu --> wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache

- Go to Install menu --> choose zip from internal sdcard --> "ICS_Stunner_1.4.19" --> Yes

- After flashing has completed, go to Reboot Menu --> reboot system

- Let the ROM settle for a few minutes, and then check for your root privileges

What are you trying to install? A new program (apk) or a new Kernell / ROM?

If a new Kernell / Rom: first your phone will be rooted. Secondly, you have to have installed a CWM (ClockworkMod recovery) for your device. Third, you have to put the zipped file, the internal memory of the device. There are many tutorials on how to network.

Now if you only have to install a program (apk), first unzip it and install on external memory gives the device. With a program: type Astro Manager, File Explorer, .... You will be able to install it.

Before you do anything, double check the sticker on the chassis on the phone under the battery to ensure you definitely have an I9100/T. Could save you a bricked phone.

[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
So the road for me and my Evo 3D has been a short one, i've laughed and nearly cried over updates, parts of my phone which don't work (3D) and i've finally had enough of this piece of sh** and i'm off to grab a nice quad core sgs3 because i've also had enough of HTC sh**ting on me, i'd like some new sh** from samsung please.

On top of that I do like the One X :confused:

Does anyone have any relevant reason why i shouldn't make the switch to either of these belters? Besides the fact that i'd be running two contracts at the same time? As my evo has still got around 19 months left on it. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] VictoriousShooter:
First off, don't blame HTC for updates, they already made it. Blame sprint. HTC gave them the ics update months ago.

And I say that you should get the one x. Because on Samsung, touchwiz is nice, but you end up missing sense afterwards.
[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
I see your in London, is that correct? What is the shooter like over there on your network? I would think all this phone really ever needed was a decent 3g network and a dose of ics. I have been switching between myn's 2 roms (gb\ics) and meanrom and i think it still performs very well.:) If i had to switch i might lean towards samsung based on this article....http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/08/...s-iii-in-the-us-is-giving-samsung-a-backbone/
[HTC EVO 3D] Rakeesh_j:
If you want lots of updates: Galaxy Nexus.

He's on GSM; you can't blame sprint. HTC is slow to update on all carriers. Lack of updates aren't HTC's only problem though, their other problem is using ridiculously proprietary hardware (so AOSP based roms are basically impossible) and the fact that they lock down their bootloaders and give you a really crappy alternative unlock.

I've moved on to the galaxy nexus, and I'm never going to get another HTC phone again.
