[LG Optimus Black] mosteaca:
Hello,

I've done some search in the V30B thread to find an answer to my questions, but at some point i got completely lost in the many posts that thread has.

As far as i have seen, everybody noticed some weird stuff going on, but did not found any post with a fix.

Anyhow ... i see most people are excited about the V30B, which gets me the idea that "THERE IS A CURE !!!".

For me ... this is what i observed:

1 - the announcement bar doesn't slide.

2 - some weird wake-ups

3 - battery sometimes gets depleted with no good reason (visible).

4 - sometimes people do not hear what i speak.

5 - when i press the "0" key on dialpad, i end-up in a funny test menu.

6 - dialpad sound cannot be stopped (i could not find how).

===========================================

Can you please help me to fix ... at least partly?

Thank you.

AW: [Q] Fixing the V30B

All known issues... all can be solved by a factory reset from hidden menu (or privacy in settings menu). Except for the battery drain, that should solve it all... and that was already said 12367534699742 times.

My xplay touch screen started to not work periodically. If I left the game pad exposed(in a playing mode) the screen would work flawlessly. Now the touch screen does not respond to any touch. The screen is perfact for veiwing. The game pad also works. The question is do i need a flex cable or a digitizer?

Any ideas

I got my Arc S last weekend, but I had many times of sleep to death on custom roms... (didn't happen on stock 2.3.4)

Sometimes after screen is off, I can't wake phone up again. Only a battery pull can help :(

Arc S had unlocked bootloader, I tried smart Xperia, aokp, viper, racing bean, but all having sleep to death problem on it.

I'm now using racing bean Rom and fusion kernel(184m-1.4ghz), it does have less sleep to death problem, but still no luck.

Any help for this phone?

My phone got stuck fairly often when it was new, after a month or whatnot. It started working alot faster and stopped freezing.

Since you got it only last weekend, it's probably why.

I am having almost the same problem with yours

I've got my arc s for over 6 months now, it's been working fine, i'm on rom Ultimate HD

last week i was running the app Talking Monkey then it happened, it went to sleep and died

the big problem is pull out the battery won't help, the screen choose to wake up randomly at its will, i have no control over it

go back to stock rom won't help either

i realize my phone is working fine except the screen, when i press the home button the led and illumination is activated but not the screen, so my phone is on i can see nothing

i use QtADB to connect to my phone and got the screen shot of the phone but ofcourse i can't see a thing cause the screen won't turn on

i not sure if its a hardware, i hope it's not

try to read the logcat but understand nothing :)

I have the same problem, did you solved your SoD.

This is link from my post with same problem: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39337396&postcount=18

I think the problem is in bootloader, but i can't confirm this because my device have locked bootloader (Unlock allow bootloader: No).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciebiada:
Hi,

Skip the next paragraph if TL;DR

I got this phone like a month ago. It came with 4.1.1, but I've flashed it with official 4.1.2 shortly after.

Since then I have flashed it couple of times with never official ROMs, and then finally moved to CM 10.1.

I was really amazed with the presentation of the pure android, not only the launcher, but dialer app, timer, alarms, messages, the browser, gallery - stuff like that. And while I'm still amazed with that, those simple annoyances that come with custom AOSP bug me, making me want to go back to the stock Samsung ROM. You know, faulty camera app, battery life, but what bugs me the most is that it's developed as nightly by regular people (don't get me wrong I bet those people are more talented than Samsung programmers, but they probably won't get fired if they **** something up).

In the end I just want my phone to work. Said that I'm going to get back to the official ROM, probably root it and remove apps I don't need, but to the point.

I searched for it, I really did, and looking how popular this phone is nowadays I'm having troubles believing that I can't find anything.

1. Stock messaging app lags as hell while scrolling. Please, one more person is going to say it's smooth and I go crazy. Open a conversation in stock Google Talk and in Messages and it is a night and day difference. I consider replacing it with Google messaging app, but I really like the stock lock screen notifications.

2. Stock web browser is lightning fast compared to any other browser I tried (including Dolphin or Chrome Beta) and I mean the scrolling and overall user responsiveness. However when you double tap a paragraph, or anything for that matter, it just won't center around it as other browser do. All it does is it zooms in in that direction. This is really annoying.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Michal C.

Am I alone?

A) no, XDA has 4.5 million users

This^^^^^ is a question and belongs in Q&A or the bin depending on your view point ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciebiada:
I'm note asking how to fix anything specific, as I believe it is not broken. However maybe people have similar experiences and would like to elaborate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Well to be honest my in conversation scrolling is flawless, and tap to zoom seems pretty much as I expect, having played with it I would say it zooms quite intelligently, although, as you say, the zooming isn't centred where you tap, but it seems to zoom to say, a paragraph and centres it, in my example, on that para I tapped, and the adjacent one that I would logically next read, so that might account for it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciebiada:
I cannot test it right now as I'm still on CM 10.1, going to flash it back to stock when I get home from work, anyway I remember when I tap to zoom on a paragraph of text it zooms in but in a way that the left side of the paragraph is off the screen, resulting in text being unable to read without scrolling to the left. It worked fine in Chrome and other browser (CM one for example), stock Samsung browser on the other hand, always worked the way I described.

I don't know how to respond to your flawless in conversation scrolling, as I recall it be very different for me from the start. I don't think it's my setup as I was whipping all the data couple of times, flashing never roms, always experiencing the same thing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Just wondering if you're zoom problem is related to dpi? Are you on 320 or less?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchindi:
have you ticked "Force GPU Rendering" in Settings => Developer options...

this will make things a bit better though not solving them completely...

try it and see if its managable otherwise, no solution until samsung fixes it..unfortunately..touchwhiz is very heavy on SGS3 though it comes with good asthetic feel...!:cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
You are not alone. If you have 500-600+ conversation, scrolling lags. If it's 1000+, well good luck to you.

I think that's the reason, samsung by default deletes messages and keeps the count 200 +.

Third party SMS apps, get rid of the issue by loading partial smses.

I recommend GO SMS.

Even whatsapp does that. It makes sense.

Why load 100s of messages, when you're most probably gonna scroll the last 5-10 .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
I re read those special texts :P and I had well over 1000 in a conversation. It didn't lag for me.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinosong:
Use SuperWipe before flashing any ROM. Many people don't know how to properly wipe. A correct wipe will solve the problems you're talking about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
I love how people defend their phones.

I've had this problem on stock rom , way before I rooted too.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciebiada:
Thanks guys for your input.

Excuse me as I wont address each of you directly, but anyway. It is not an issue with not wiping data as i was flashing 3 file rom beforehand with repartitioning and ****.

I guess we all see things differently, for some of you the thing I perceive a lag or shutter is "perfectly fine" or "flawless".

Good for you - the ignorance is bliss!

No. There wasn't lag or stuttering. But go on and let yourself believe that. You are correct ignorance is bliss.

Omega ROMS

I rooted my phone and installed jellybean 4.1.2. Since then, I have installed a number of Omega ROMS. I am using V40 right now and am now questioning the reason for frequently updating to the latest version. I find this V40 to be flawless with great battery life. Everything works.

Can anyone tell me why updates come out so often?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
Are you sure your not talking about the old AOSP messaging app that didn't thread correctly? The new CM10.1 messaging app in the themes and apps section works perfectly for most people (I say most since your the only person to complain about threading issues with it), its even been incorporated as the stock messaging app in a few roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintball23456:
no, the crappy stock Samsung one, that's the one that spilts up message threads, BUT only when i restore my messages. EVERY AOSP messaging app i have USED NEVER split theads, only the s3's stock app. maybe it has something to do with backing them up while on aosp..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciebiada:
So what do you wan to tell me?

a) I have a faulty unit?

b) I have a bunch of crap installed or leftovers from previous ROMS?

c) I'm imagining things?

I will help you out as none of above is true as properly written applications run perfectly fine, also I'm flashing stock ROMs with re-partitioning so everything gets wiped out.

Don't get me wrong. The word lag may be a little bit too much, as I'm comparing scrolling performance of (judging by the eye) around 10 fps vs complete smooth (over 25 fps maybe?) of Google Talk application or AOSP messaging app.

To me, the most likely scenario, but also unfortunate, is that many of you don't give a **** and frankly can't tell the difference.

[HTC One X+] anyen:
Hii I would like to ask..as far I read from the custom rom thread.the base is from 1.17.404..European model international hox+...mine is Asian version 1.17.707.1 is it compatible. Or I have to get custom Rom base on my region...which is none so far...
[HTC One X+] dubdroid_:
For custom ROMs it's only important to know whether you have the AT&T or the International model. And I really think you have the International model.

The exact region, and/or CID and software number (e.g. x.xx.707.x for you) of your Phone is just important for official HTC Updates or RUUs.

So just use any custom ROM you want for the International model.
[HTC One X+] anyen:
Will the radio works? Is the langguage complete...thx for the reply
[HTC One X+] dubdroid_:
yes, radio will work.

Its just the International software x.xx.401.x that is used for the custom ROMs, Radio can't be changed/stays the same after your ROM flashed since nearly no one has S-OFF at his device.

And I think all ROMs here are multilingual ones, so you can choose the language you want at first bootup with your new custom ROM ;)
[HTC One X+] anyen:
i just mess up with my phone...install custom rom fine...but like i said earlier...sadly the radio not functioning...well i have to ruu then...thx anyway for the reply

[HTC EVO 3D] extremko:
Hi guys!

I read the forum, then read some more. And then read sticky topics and other links....

... and I'm totally confused now!

I want to root the phone, so I can manipulate the memory of it. That's it. I don't want to lock, unlock, S-off, flash or whatever the term it is for whatever action.

Is there a glossary on those terms, readable by a human being?

What I need is the Game CIH to work, so I can get more money/coins/lives/whatever in my games.

For that, I need the phone rooted.

And there we have it :) Now you know what I need, so if there's someone that can tell me 'go follow THIS tutorial' or 'read here', I would be very grateful! :)

This is most likely already poking my eyes out, but I have no idea what ROM flashing is, nor why would I want S-OFF instead of S-ON.... :(

Help! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Quantenhall:
AW: What do I need for root?

If u only want root you dont need s-off

S-off gives you the ability to flash everything, even another bootloader

but if you dont even have an idea about that, better stay away from that :D

Heres a list of those terms :

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Glossary

Do u have a GSM or cdma phone?

This guide is for GSM, the part of unlocking+root should be the same for cdma , but if you are cdma better wait for another cdma user just to make sure ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1743466

A+B

You need to unlock your bootloader to flash superuser^^
[HTC EVO 3D] extremko:
Thank you! That was quick ;)

I wish there were more people like you, Quantenhall :)

Only one thing confused me, though...

You said root does not need s-off, but superuser does.

I was under the impression root = superuser :)

I suck at Linux, so don't curse me :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Quantenhall:
AW: What do I need for root?

No, i said you need an unlocked bootloader ;)

That is not the same as s-off :p

S-off is only needed if you want to flash aosp roms one day

Just follow the instructions of the second link (a+b) and you will have root access :)

But make a backup first

Conclusion:

1 backup (adb , there are tools for that, i think one was named ultimate backup tool, if you dont find it search for Android 4 backup without root or similar)

2 unlocking bootloader (htcdev, a from link)

3 flash custom recovery(adb , b from link)

4 flash superuser (copy to SD, boot to recovery, install zip from sd)

That should be all for root
[HTC EVO 3D] extremko:
:) Got it now :)

Thanks for the explanation :)

I managed to understand the instructions you linked to, but it's good to have a summary just to make sure I did indeed understood everything as I should have :)

But there's a problem :/

B4. A link to recovery on mediafire is dead :/

And I don't have 10 posts yet, so I can't post in dev forum and ask OP to make an update.

On the other hand, he clearly stated he doesn't read private messages regarding other people problems :/

I'll go if I can be useful somewhere else on the forum and get myself up to 10 posts :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ImpossibleIsOpinion:
Any recovery made for your phone should work. I would recommend 4EXT Touch Recovery. I uploaded it here for you http://www.mediafire.com/?702ttkdggk69g3i so just unzip it and use the recovery.img as the instructions imply.

Do note that I downloaded this recovery via their app I downloaded from 4ext.net using an Evo 3D CDMA phone. I do know 4EXT works with both CDMA and GSM phones but I can't be certain if they use different recovery.img files.
[HTC EVO 3D] extremko:
Thank you all!

I successfully rooted the phone, thanks to you! :)

Actually, not only you, mostly the guy who wrote the crazy good tutorial!

But without you my mojo wouldn't be enough to make it through :)

I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com, then flashed recovery image and finally ran superuser.apk.

I'm in the process of restoring all my data back to the phone at the moment, and this should be it I guess :)

Thank you so much for your help, going through the process once really put all the pieces together for me.

Now I really know what some terms actually mean :D

So... if I would like to install different OS (CWM, CM...), it's much easier now, right?

I should go to recovery and say "install from a file" and select my new OS? :)

I think so... but nevermind, I'm done with the questions. You've both been more than helpful already :)

P.S.

Oh so many smilies... can you tell I'm happy? :D :D :D

Greetings,

First humble apologies to those out there who have all the knowledge in the world, and to whom this seems like a question too simple to ask; alas I have very little technical knowledge on this subject and must seek help :(

OK ... I have a Wildfire S which I believe is UNLOCKED and S-ON:

***UNLOCKED***

MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT - 1.09.0099

MICROP - 0451

RADIO - 7.57.39.10M

RUU 2.26.401.3

I have had the phone 'debranded' so it doesn't have any of the service providers nonsense on it ... but, I'm only running one or two apps on the phone and the darn Facebook built-in app is always trying to update and keeps popping up in the background as a running apps no matter how many times I 'kill' it.

I was told that there is a way of getting access to the root of the phone to delete/kill these pieces of pre-installed junk so that I can actually run the apps I want without the phone constantly reporting that it 'can't do this or that' because of low memory ... so perhaps one of you kind souls 'could spell it out', so to speak in simple terms so that I can try and find someone local who can doe these things ??

All I want is to have my phone unbranded, running a couple of apps of my choice without any interference from Junk like the Facebook app and other stuff that's been pre-installed before I got the phone ???

Many thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
your phone is s-on so you need to root your phone.

when you bought your phone? if its 2012 model you need to use modded recovery and all.

and as your phone is unlocked you just need to use htcsupertool to add root permissions(if your phone is before 2012)

for rooting and all of 2012 wildfire s model follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997465

good luck.

after root you can add custom roms,delete junk apps and all what you want.

Many thanks for the input ...

I did the bootloader unlock via HTCDev ... or at least I followed the online instructions with the 'token' etc and ended up with what I posted in the first/original post ... UNLOCKED with S-ON etc etc

As far as I remember, the phone was supplied as a replacement for my original phone sometime in 2012 hence the RUU 2.26.401.3 ... but as far as flashing ROMS etc is concerned I am absolutely at a total loss to understand the intricacies and requirements of just what is and what is not needed in order to get my phone to where I want it to be. If you can spell it out for me that would be great, if not, then I understand.
