[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
Is your N1 rooted and has blackrose HBOOT installed? If no, then you don't want to flash ICS if you are planning on taking it with you because ICS is still WIP. Use the Gingerbread ROMs for now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
Agree. The ICS camera for the Nexus One isn't yet perfected.

I'd recommend CM7.2 stable or MIUI Gingerbread. At least they won't let you down.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Well, I've gotta commend you for conceding this might be a tricky task, my man.

I hate the easy answer of "ICS isn't what you're looking for," as I know sometimes it's the kind of thing you just really gotta have.

I'll say this:

You'll hear reports of the ICS camera being a bit kinked up right now. These reports are somewhat true.

The ICS CAMERA isn't so much the problem as is the functionality of the camera APP.

Meaning: In my experience, the camera (still photos) worked fine. If you're looking to do any sort of recording, the ROM simply is not able to accomodate it. The devs (bless 'em for all their hard work) have yet to wade through fixing the video coding to allow for flawless video recording/playback within the camera app.

My suggestion:

If you really want ICS, download one of the distros (I really enjoyed BCM CM9) and test it out. Go in expecting ****e -- not an amazing platform for camera-play. If it ends up meeting your needs for speed and quality (and, I guess, style), then you've got a winner.

For what it's worth though, I actually entertained a hiatus from the ICS party and flashed the stable release of CM7.2 (recently released).

I'll just say it felt like I was playing around on my Atrix again, and Gingerbread has an UNDENIABLE speed/response advantage over ICS. I feel these advantages are crucial to photography and that Gingerbread ROMs might be able to better accommodate your demands.

I could be wrong, though...never want to assume...and if there's a vital feature of ICS's you're keen on having, let us know. We'll try our best to guide you to a good ICS photography-platform (even if extensive tweaking is involved), and if that just doesn't seem possible, I'm sure there's a way to get what you're looking for in a GB ROM.

Good luck though either way, breaux.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smot13:
Thanks for the responses. I appreciate it. I'm going to dig into some GB roms and see what works best for me. :o
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmilacek:
I have 4G, can send/receive texts, but I can't make calls. The circle with a line through it is next to my 4G icon in the top right.

Didn't do anything to the phone, this just happened randomly.

I've tried flashing back to stock, updating radios, etc. Nothing works. Pulled SIM card, battery, etc.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It's possibly a bad SIM or a bad CDMA radio. It's far more likely the first, but I actually had the CDMA radio go bad in my first Charge. Keep in mind that the LTE network is data only, and it still needs a connection to the CDMA to have voice service. Since they're separate radios, you can have the LTE data connection without the CDMA voice connection.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BattsNotIncld:
Same exact thing happened to me. Seems like part of the hardware shorts out or something. Had to get a refurb.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmilacek:
Here's the part I don't understand.

Normal operation of phone: regardless of whether data is on or off, I can send/receive texts and calls.

Now: can't ever send or receive calls; can only send/receive texts when data is ON.

WTF?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
SMS has traditionally operated by piggybacking the messages into the control information that the cell phone signals use as part of their normal background chatter that was previously wasted (using a variant of the ALOHA protocol for those interested). The European carriers devised it as a way to allow customers to utilize some unused bandwidth as a cheaper alternative to calling

My assumption, based on recent observation, is that carriers are now using ALOHA *or* data to transmit SMS, depending on what's available. This is likely due to an over-saturation of the channels used to carry SMS, or possibly a preparatory move for the transition to all IP, but that's just speculation on my part. Regardless, observations such as your would tend to support the use of two different channels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
I just felt like this story was worth sharing.

I did the last baseband update, and with it started using the 21y update since nothing else will work with it. With that came the BSOD (Black Screen of Death), which I'm sure alot of other G2x owners have experienced. Been getting it 3-4 times a day during random usage, not just after phone calls. I have to remove the back cover and battery, turn it back on... 3-4 freakin times a day. Last week I flashed the stock recovery to get it back to factory condition and waited. Finally it happend at a point where I could walk over to the nearby T-Mobile store and show them the freeze, ask for a fix. Here's how it goes...

Me: So this has just happend and happens 3-4 times a day. *Shows him phone won't wake up, turn on, nothing. Pull battery, turn it back on*

Him: How old is your phone?

Me: Got it when it launched, so just over a year.

Him: Well it's got some scratches, lets see what we can do... So tell me honestly, do you charge it overnight?

Me: Yes, I plug it in near my bed and use it as an alarm

Him: You shouldn't do that. You probably fried the battery.

At this point I know he's just BS'ing. It's a software issue, it's been fixed on any custom ROM you use. Also, who doesn't charge their phone overnight. So I'm waiting and waiting while he's doing a device replacement order. About 10 minutes go by then

Him: So this is what's going to happen. You'll get a box and in it will be the new phone. You'll have to take your old phone and keep the sim card, back cover, and battery to use on the new phone. It'll just be a new body.

Me: So I use the same battery with the new phone?

Him: Yeah.

Me: Didn't you just tell me I fried the battery and that's why you're ordering a new phone?

Then he just stares at the phone dumbfounded for several long seconds and responds "Well it might not be that."

SMH, took my phone, grabbed the order confirmation, and left.

Dear T-Mobile... TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
Sorry for the wrong location, completely thought I was in the general section.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aczarney:
Three things:

1)This belongs in general.

2)Store employees don't do tech support for T-Mobile. They aren't trained to do so. They have no need to be trained for such as there's no in-store warranty program. They're sales associates and aren't trained for anything about these phones beyond the specs and features and what the phone can do (in effect what they need to know to sell the phone.) Representatives are trained based on their job type for their line of business, and not all the other ones. Because a representative doesn't provide the answer you're looking for off the top of their head, doesn't mean they aren't trained. There's quite literally thousands and thousands of pieces of information that those people have to remember, and you can't expect them to remember every single thing at any time.This is just a case were you should made sure you're talking to the right person. It's like going to a car dealership and asking a sales person to fix your car. They just sell the cars, they don't fix them.

3)Your warranty is ultimately through the manufacturer, so if T-Mobile isn't helping you contact LG for your warranty. They will definitely be more knowledgeable of the product, and since there is not really a risk of talking to the wrong department, its information that's bound to be accurate.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilaliend:
1) I stated that.

2) Store employees should atleast be trained better then to say something is bad, then tell me to continue to use it. This post was for basic humor.

3) My paid insurance is thru T-Mobile.

Ctfu!!!!!! Gota love XDA hospitality ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
4. Just cause it looks like a T-Mobile store doesn't mean it's owned by T-Mobile. There are very few corporate stores out there. Most are just 3rd party companies that have a license to use there name and design for there store. I have dozen of T-Mobile stores in my area but there is only one corporate one. The only way you can tell who they actually are is by looking at the receipt. It will say somewhere on there like "***** Wireless" It's very deceiving but all carriers do it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] masteroftime666:
well speaking of reps i wanted to ask LG rep on the update for wind mobile as most people know we know have froyo officially, here is how it went down
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
@above: you're kind of acting like a **** to the rep. They're not in charge, they just regurgitate the information they're given.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] masteroftime666:
I very well understand, but nobody wants to give information no wind, nor LG.

Edit: In the feedback at the end of the conversation i did give the rep a good review. But lets face it you have to get information off of somebody.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I wouldn't consider the convo being a ****, it was being more knowledgeable then someone in there feild of work he didn't call him out saying he was an idiot and sub par at his job, haha... I probably would've been a jerk to the person, and called him out on what he said. Regurgitate or not what he said was, well... kinda not smart.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djvoleur:
You? A jerk? Never ;):D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Right, I'm just a shy and fussy person who doesn't speak freely or too freely at times. I like to keep my opinions and thoughts to myself. ;-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Ha! Had the same experience back with the Nokia Nuron however, and it was very similar. I ended up getting 4 new phones, till I was asked if I wanted the G1 instead. Took it in a heartbeat. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
At the moment lg doesn't want to make the same mistake, they are not ready to release ICS. This is the correct and true answer. You can believe what you want. Op, you bought your phone with Froyo, who promised you an update? Updates are free, how can anyone complain? Every android smartphone has a problem in some way or another, but the g2x forums have the most whiners hands down. It was so refreshing to talk to Ricardo and laugh at all the retardedness on these forums. Lastly, didn't most of us get our phones for free?

mustangtim49@Xda-developers
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RobBull69:
I sure as hell didn't. My G2's wifi module broke 2 weeks out of warranty. I needed a new phone and wasn't eligible for an upgrade. Even if you got your phone for "free", you're still paying for it monthly versus someone who buys their phones outright.

If LG's software engineers haven't been able to figure out ICS, maybe they need new software engineers. I work for a financial services company and if our coders did this piss poor of a job, they'd be collecting unemployment benefits.

I've had to deal with T-Mobile's staff quite a bit over the past few weeks because of various issues and all I can say is that it has been extremely disappointing. You used to be able to get someone that's knowledgeable almost all the time ... not anymore. I tend to firm but very fair to phone staff. I used to work cust. service and I know how bad it is to get an ahole on the other end of the line. I mentioned some of the issues I've had with my phone and, instead of offering to troubleshoot or to send a replacement device, the rep tries to hard sell me to use the upgrade I'm now eligible for to get a new phone instead. I told them that I'm not comfortable spending money on a new phone if T-Mobile is not going to support it. The rep told me I could always void my warranty and install unofficial software lol. During the course of the call, I had 2 reps acknowledge that there were known issues with the G2x. When I asked why they kept selling them with known issues, I was met with silence. To make a long story short, instead of being offered a solution, the calls all ended with a frustrated customer.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

Oh, and how can we complain? How about the 18-month pledge that both LG and T-Mobile signed and casually forgot about. I'm no mathematician, but I don't remember 18 months passing since the G2x was launched.

http://androinica.com/2011/05/android-updates-for-18-months/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
"For instance, the members of the update partnership could say that a new device should still be able to receive Android OS updates within the first 18 months of release; however, companies would not be obligated to stick to that guideline, and that does not mean that phones would access every new release."

Guess you missed that part. They're not obligated to get out the release, but try to a point. T-Mobile will try and release the update as long as there is one from the manufacturer to begin with (in this case LG).

As long as the phone does everything it was promised to (work) as it goes in the latest GB, you really can't complain.

Now back in the Froyo days, yes, an update was required for sure, so any issues and no one could fix them. But the last two OTA updates for the G2x have made it stable and run fine for the majority of users, so LG did do their part there.

Finally, in case you ask my opinion on LG, no, I would never buy another LG IF it has an Nvidia chip. God I hate them now. An S4 would be nice, and I love their choice of IPS displays. I like their form factor as well, just no Nvidia, they don't know the meaning of open source.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RobBull69:
Google really needs to be more heavy handed if it wants to avoid fragmentation. Android is open source. However, Google apps and access to the Play Store are not. Give manufacturers 6 months after a major release of Android to upgrade devices that have hardware capable of handling the software. If they fail to comply, block access to the Play Store for those devices and create a crapstorm for the OEMs. Obviously, you would have to give OEMs a bit of wiggle room if they are running into legit issues and can prove that they are actively working on getting the update out ASAP. This boy scout pledge crap is obviously not working. I doubt Google would have the balls to pull something like what I described.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Block the play store for the majority of their devices? Are you serious? Google would punish itself and the end user more than the supplier.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zanzabar:
so having a phone that most of them randomly restart or black screen on the stock roms is whining now. it took a little over a year for tmobile to fix the g2x, i do not know about the o2x but the phone went EOL on tmobile were it launched in the US a week affter they fixed it and was not sold since november unless it was old stock.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cf3esbestia:
My friend's iPad uses the proximity sensor to auto wake and slwwp when he lifts his flap or closes it. Is there a setting for this ability or would any ROM devs consider adding this feature to their ROM. I think it would reduce wear on the power button
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Its a hardware based switch on the iPad... if you developed an app to do that for Android then it would most likely drain heavily on battery so it would be pretty useless or rather trade one evil for another

You'd also need a device that supports it....
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cf3esbestia:
Darn. Thanks though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
I couldn't find any statement that answers my question. My friend is interested in rooting his phone to backup his apps with TB. His phone is currently stock (4.5.141). Is there a root method where the phone is not reset to factory? It would defeat the point of rooting if he looses all his data.

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
If he backs it up through titanium he can use a root browser and copy the file to ext-sdcard, factory reset doesn't erase that. You could also put the backup on a computer via USB if he doesn't have an ext-sdcard. Be sure to put the file back in the proper directory after wiping.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
It was my understanding TB would not be able to backup anything unless it had root access in the first place..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
Oh sorry I misread your OP. Yes titanium needs root to perform backups. If you try the USB method you can pull files from the phone and sdcard and store them on your computer.

Edit- also just rooting shouldn't reset data, unless your unlocking the bootloader as well
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
I'm sorry can you point me to the thread that has this USB method? Also do you know of any method that roots without deleting his data?

Is your phone in warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] felixchris:
can you give us some basic information? such like rom & kernel version, wether you rooted and ade using cputuningtools or something like that.

if you are under stock rom(original samsung & all further updates over kies) and u have done nothing unnormally so far i would recommend use the warranty too; )
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PTMensah:
thanks guys

i have not rooted or changed the stock rom

i only factory reset it when the problem started

i just discovered that when i plug in the charger the touch screen works normally but does not respond to touch when not charging
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
I had the same issue. I got my touch panel replaced by the Samsung guys. That's why I was asking whether your phone is under warranty or not.

I'm more on XDA than FB...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Here we go, this proves this has nothing to with CM9, this guy is on stock.

Many people are blaming CM9 for this and claiming it caused the problem.

It's a hardware defect.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
Agree. :good:

I'll wait for a few weeks or till the phone is usable for the kernel 3.0. :fingers-crossed:

If not then no other option but create a Rs.5000 hole in my pocket. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] agnivo007:
Same case with me... Bought the i9003 March 2011.

I'm on DDKP3 and around the same time as the OP, my touchscreen started to act strange... responsive only when charger is plugged in. Tried factory reset, but problem came back after some hours!

If this is a product-wide issue, then I guess sammy should replace it for free, even if it's out of warranty... too busy to go to the nearest service cenrter, will check later.

Till then, please keep me updated how it goes for you.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

Just wondering, if a reflash of DDKP3 via ODIN or any custom ROM would solve the issue... please suggest.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I guess the sensitivity settings (or something like that) has changed without you knowing. Don't know if it is the same as s2 but in s2, sensitivity of the phone not plugged in the charger and plugged in has different settings. So maybe the settings for it in your case (unplugged) has changed but not on the plugged in settings. It's all in the kernel btw.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] agnivo007:
^^^ So what do you suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Maybe asking a kernel dev if the values changed or what not. If i'm correct then it's a software problem, if not then maybe a hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neetinnagap:
Same problem!!!

It happened last week when my phone surprisingly started showing this problem. After unlocking the phone the screen becomes unresponsive. In my case it is just 1-2 secs after unlocking the phone.

It lasted for a day, I tried flashing different ROMs. I was on XXKPE when it happened. And than suddenly my phone started working fine until yesterday when this thing again happened and the problem still persists (I am still on KPE). I dont know what to do.

I think it can be some software problem as the screen and touch keys do work for some time before becoming unresponsive and even the logcat shows no problems for the touch screen. I am going to try more ROMs now. Will keep you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] agnivo007:
Possible solution !!!

Friends, I think I found a possible solution for this issue. Though it seems to work for me... I have to keep the phone under observation for some days until I can say it's the final solution.

A similar thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695149

The possible cause for the touch screen going unresponsive seems not to be a hardware/software glitch; but environmental issue! And it doesn't depend on the ROM your'e running.

I noticed that most people from India having this issue say that this problem started in June, when the rainy season starts and it gets humid and damp.

In fact my phone showed this issue when it had rained for the last 2 days and it was very damp and humid inside the house.

You can do the following:

1. Take out the back cover, memory card, SIM and battery.

2. Place the backside of the phone near a hot air source (on top of a running CRT TV/monitor, hairdryer, laptop fan vent) for sometime.

3. Reassemble and check if the problem has gone away.

Do not panic if the handset gets a bit hot in the process!

In my case, I left it on the top grille of a CRT TV for a day which ran for 8hrs.

Do let me know if this works for you... :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PTMensah:
