Updated:

1) The Bluetooth will switch off when the camshell is shut but the BT light indicates that it is on (JJ only so far)

2) If Pocket IE is left running it will run down my battery very quickly

3) The keyboard backlight button does nothing that I can see

4) Phone does not actually start ringing until 3rd ring when switched off

5) When closed, external start/end call buttons dont light up when call is recieved

6) MSN Messenger draws the text input pannel half way up the screen when started laptop style. Flip screen to portrate and back and the MSN screen gets redrawn correctly

7) IE doesnot allow u to open more than one page?

9) regular crash and resets to recover memory that memory manager doesn't give back

10) inadequate access to connections when stacking connections, eg vpn over gprs to many clicks

11) inadequate camera, the worst 1.3mp ever seen and camera fails to remember setting changes on soft reset except if you pick only standard settings

12) flash on camera is totally pathetic as to be not usable

13) flash should be promoted as a torch and allow some value from it

14) inadequate ram,no ram upgrade path

15)not true VGA should have the improved FGA function per ozvga without the bugs

16) wmp not play videos in full screen

17) gprs does not keep the connection open constantly all day thus incurring the recurring cost

18)Cool voice dialler doesn't work if clam is shut

19) hi startup memory utilisation RAM

20) hi utilisation of storage ROM

21) terminal services black spots

22) remove quick launch bar

23) terminal services not sufficiently full screen, top bottom bars can disappear

24) scroll bqrs to big, take up to much room

25) program more of the buttons

26) should be able to tweak more without using registry hacks, eg a list, on off, more, less

27) about 20% of the times my JJ freezes when a new SMS is received. Makes the thing very unreliable because you never know that the JJ has hung up when it failed to receive the SMS successfully last time.

28 ) If you perform a soft reset and the Messaging applicaiton is running you could lose the last set of emails that were downloaded (Exec)

29) The latest version of MS Reader can cause the Exec to freeze when used with DRM eBooks

30) The Exec can freeze when downloading emails over UMTS/GPRS from a POP3 account

Wow what a list of bugs ! how the hell did this device ever get through quality control and acceptance testing

if you guys are here to make a list of bugs spotted on this device, i guarentee you the list will be as long as the hills. Imate also seem to be making very little progress.

They really do need to get their skates on and start cracking out some ROM with all these updates in them

Being new to all this i can't find the backlight button for my keyboard. There is a button on the front edge, which turns on the backlight button for my screen and a light sensor near the hinge for turning on the keyboard backlight in low light. Any help identifying where this button should be :?: :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ward:
Its on the front - to the right of the IR sensor window (which I must confess took me far too long to find) and has an icon that looks like a bulb.

Its doing nothing I can't do otherwise by tapping the screen or pressing a button. Now if it was mappable...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] MvanIperen:
it is mappable

add the following key to the registry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C8

and create values just like another key (i.e. 40C5)

soft-reset and then you are able to program the button.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ward:
Excellent!

Tell me, are there any further tips up your sleeve (or linked some where) and what would be the string command to launch the backlight configuration utility (or a standalone tool).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Any more probelms / faults?

Remember, tomorrow please send a copy of all the faults from the list above that apply to to the company supporting your Universal (O2, i-Mate, Qtek, etc)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
The keyboard backlight button worked for me during the first day. After I install some stuff and performed a soft rest, the backlight button does not turn off the backlight screen. I did a soft reset, and still the same. I tried a hard reset, and to no avail. So this is normal as of now?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Can anyone expand to his instructions please. Did anyone tried to remap their backlight button yet?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
I just tried and it works. Copy the complete key for 40C5 and call it 40C8. Choose a different name for the button (e.g. 'Button Light').

I guess we could rename all buttons the same way so we could actually have a clue which buttons they were when we were programming them.

Thanks for the tip, MvanIperen :)

there is also following problem. (I'm not the only one).

- When the phone was on stand by for a long time and there is an incomming call. You have to to wait 1-3 seconds untill you can hear or say anything.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] foxnolds:
37) When the phone was on stand by for a long time and there is an incoming call. You have to to wait 1-8 seconds until you can hear or say anything.

38) Situation is worse when using a Bluetooth headset. Pressing call pickup from Bluetooth Headset does not pick up call till 3 or more rings have occurred! Usually results in call be diverted to message bank and Voice dial kicks in asking "who do you want to call?".

39) When Clam shell is shut, playing MP3s, side Volume Up-Down controls do not work!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GDawes:
Are these really hardware wm5 problems.

No CAPS LOCK indicator would be one of my complaints.

Perhaps this list should be generated by application.

Also how many of the problems are on user upgraded machines.

Some do not seem like problems eg the ie no frames or windows.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] colonel:
I can't help reading this and thinking that some of these are not real problems. Many of them are, sure, but I mean:

"11) inadequate camera, the worst 1.3mp ever seen and camera fails to remember setting changes on soft reset except if you pick only standard settings " - all phone cameras i have used are pants

"15)not true VGA should have the improved FGA function per ozvga without the bugs" - this is WM5 issue, not jazjar

"17) GPRS does not keep the connection open constantly all day thus incurring the recurring cost" - does not make sense. there is no cost to reconnect to GPRS ?

"26) should be able to tweak more without using registry hacks, eg a list, on off, more, less " - don't understand this, Linux and Windows are always like this

"7) IE doesnot allow u to open more than one page? " - wm2003 didn't. this is a M$ issue and you can always buy a 3rd party browser.

etc.etc.etc.

some of the stuff does look like worrying issues, like crashes, but its hard to see from the posts if this is the device or bad software which has been installed.

i.e. if you post a problem, you should give more detail.

just my 2 cents.......
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Colonel, agreed. Will try to create two lists when I get time: one for real faults and one for other issues
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
craigiecraigie4

Thank you for your help but it is not nice to imply that people are not really having a fault because you have not seen/heard about it yourself.

- Freezing on SMS receipt has been reported by many users (I had the same problem on my clean JJ)

- My email problem (freeze when downloading over GPRS/UMTS) started after a clean re-build

- the Universal is a multi-tasking device, leaving PIE running or Camera should not deplete the battery

- the BT fault, problems with media files on the storage card and slow response to incoming call only seems occurs when you use "suspend" mode, so why did M$ include this option. Also this means you don't need hacks to overcome these problems

- I use MS Reader because I have DRM eBooks (I also use Mobipocket)

It seems unreasonable to spend so much time applying workarounds/hacks after you have paid over US$900 on a device.

It is very easy to blame third-party s/w or the "user" but the reality is that there are many faults with the M$ s/w and the objective of this thread was to collect the issues so that we can send our findings to the supplier of the device with the hope that issues will get fixed in the next version of WM5.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
I fully second Jah's views.

The SMS freezing problem is definitely there at least on some machines. I have had two JJs and this problem is there on both machines. Furthermore this is definitely not related to third party software as when I bought my 2nd JJ I specially tried it before installing any third party software and it was very miuch there and still is. I even tried the O2 ROM but to no avail.

Secondly a plain user with not much technical background should not be expected to do all the tweaking to get rid of certain problems specially when one has paid so much for the phone though needlesss to say that whatever information was available on this and other forums to get rid of the SMS freezing problem has not helped me in getting away this problem.

Kind Regards

[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
As Omni is in its infancy, there are some rough edges to it. Until those are polished, I'm going to keep a tips/tricks/workarounds thread here.

Root

The most important thing right now is - SuperSU is not yet integrated, and flashing Omni will clobber any existing SuperSU installation.

Backuptool to the rescue! This is the same tool that allows gapps to survive CM/Omni/etc. flashes.

Place the attached file (51-su.sh) into /system/addon.d/ and change its permissions to 755. Once you do this, the core components of SuperSU will survive flashes. I don't back up the APK in this script, as you can install the APK from the Play Store itself as long as the binaries are there and working.

EDIT: grrr, xda isn't allowing .sh files. Here's the content:

#!/sbin/sh
#
# /system/addon.d/51-su.sh
# During a firmware upgrade, this script backs up /system/xbin/su
# /system is formatted and reinstalled, then the file is restored.

[Omni Q&A] mrRobinson:
I think this is the best thread for this question since i'm doing a workaround... I'm compiling the manta kernel inline now. I've forked device_samsung_manta and adjusted the BoardConfig.mk to do this and it works. I got a warning that there was no omni.dependencies file when the build started.

I see this on the gerrit: https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1816/

[
{
"repository": "android_kernel_samsung_manta",
"target_path": "kernel/samsung/manta",
"branch": "android-4.3"
}
]

Question 1: if i cherry-pick this as-is, do i need to make any changes to BoardConfig, potentially I don't need to specify TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE there anymore.

Question 2: if I were to fork the kernel as well, I assume I'd have to adjust the branch to whatever my branch name is but is there a "remote" command I'd have to add to point to my git? Or does this reference the repository in my manifest (which I've already forked).
[Omni Q&A] scanno:
You still need to add TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE and specify the config.

See my ommit https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/1815/

The config referes to the cyanogenmod config, it gets a booting kernel, but with me the performance options do not work as they should. For the rest its working. You could try the manta_defconfig. That is i quess the aosp kernel config.
[Omni Q&A] mrRobinson:
Ok so that confirms #1. I did leave target_kernel_source and used the cyanogenmod def config. All works. Just leaves question 2 open.
[Omni Q&A] scanno:
If you are using your own repository for the kernel, the best thing g to do is to specify the repository in a local manifest.

The dependency file is just adding an entry in a local repository file.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Zorachus:
I have to say I am very very impressed with the battery life I am getting out of my brand new S4 from ATT.

I bought it Monday, and Tuesday was my first full day using it, these were my stats at 9:00pm, after being unplugged off the charger from the morning. 15h 44m with 42% battery left, and 3h 22m On Screen time. That just blows me away, and I was not expecting that whatsoever. I am coming from a Nexus 4 that was rooted with a battery friendly kernel, and that phone would maybe do 4h On Screen time, and be dead in 12 to 14 hours. based off these result, I can expect maybe 5.5h to 6h On Screen time total ?

We'll see how today goes, because I just can't believe those stats above, seems like a freak one time thing to get such good battery life.

All I did was Root the phone, and kept the stock OS on it. Rooting allowed me to install Greenify and DroidWall, Root Explorer and AdAway, my favorite apps. Greenify I used to stop a lot of functions from running in the background, DroidWall lets me pick which apps to never connect over WiFi and 3G/4G network, and AdAway stops the adds of course :)

I also have sync off on my most things, and any apps refreshing set longer, to like 3hour refresh. I keep screen locked at 50% brightness, and 30 second time off. GPS and Bluetooth off, location finder off.

I also used Root Explorer to delete a sh!t ton of ATT and Samsung .apk's in the system file. I couldn't believe how many items I deleted using Root Explorer, maybe too many LOL :) Seriously must have been like 30 or 40 .apk's I deleted.

So is it this phone, just much better on battery than I thought, or a combination of the way I set my phone up, by deleting lots of .apk's, and using Greenify and Droidwall ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Zorachus:
Now 3 full days with the phone, each night after 15 hours off the charger, I still have 35% to 40% battery left, and typically used 3.5h On Screen time at that point. And majority of it on the 4G network, just a few hours out of 15 on WiFi.

I am shocked getting this kind of battery life, totally unexpected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] saj222:
Thanks for the feedback!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Zorachus:
I would say this is pretty good battery life :). I should be able to get 5.5h to 6h On Screen time on this phone. That's nearly 50% better than my Nexus 4. No way I would trade this phone in for the Nexus 5 only having a fixed 2,300mAh battery.

Only other phone coming out I would upgrade to is the Galaxy S5 due out in 4 months in February, with metal body like the HTC One and iPhone...the next gen Snapdragon 1,000 processor...a 2,800-3,000mAh battery...4GB RAM...all new screen technology, no longer AMOLED...and redesigned Touchwiz, based off Android 4.4 Kit Kat.

I was on the 4G LTE network majority of the time, only on WiFi a few hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bigcid10:
that's Pretty good battery life I must say myself,but by turning off all those features you're defeating the whole purpose

of having a smartphone. with all those features not being usable you might as well own a razer flip phone

I have bt,location,and all those fun gadgets on and still get a good 12 hrs up time and I use my phone too

I'd like to know what you get with your phone loaded up with all the features enabled,thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jsr84:
I just swapped batteries after 51 hours. Over 3 hours of screen time, 90% of which was while using LTE. Other than that there was about 10 hours of LTE standby, 2.5 hours of Airplane mode and the rest WIFI. I use Greenify like the OP, but I use Tasker to enable Bluetooth and GPS when I leave my house and disable it when I return home. I leave my brightness on auto and sync on.

When I was connected to WIFI at home I would get crushed by WIFI related wakelocks, but using a network logger I was able to eliminate the causes, most of them were related to my iMac constantly sending out random packets to everything on my network. Other than that I found Google Now was a huge cause of background web traffic, while still keeping location services on, I turned off location history and reporting in Google Now and that cut down drastically on the amount of background web traffic Google Now uses, but I can still use Google Now for what I need it for. I also found apps that have no reason to access the internet like GSam Battery monitor among others were doing so. With a combination of Greenify and removing internet access permission using App Settings (Xposed framework module) I was able to get those under control.

All this was a lot of trial and error, and it took me a while I figure out a good combination of conditions and applications to use to control the amount of background web traffic (causing WIFI related wakelocks). But now I get great battery life and really no loss of functionality. I think Google needs to do a better job of policing developers when it comes to this sort of stuff, the average person isn't going to go through all this.

Side note, has anyone else notices that at around 40% the battery tends to drop a bit more rapidly than the preceding 60%? If I was able to get 3 hours screen on time over the first 50% I'll probably on get 2 hours on the next last 50%. Its clear as day when you graph battery life vs screen on time after 40%. I have 2 official Samsung batteries I use and it happens on both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Zorachus:
I was on my S4 pretty hard today, all day and night long, surfing the web, reading XDA, watching YouTube, sending tons of texts, keeping up with the sports scores on my favorite teams playing today, using Sportstacular a lot.

I think almost 6h On Screen time is really good, and blows away my Nexus 4, which was getting around 3.5h to 4h On Screen time. Wonder how well the Nexus 5 will do On Screen time when hammering on the phone all day and night ?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rouz.:
The recovery is broken, and the rom doesn't boot.

I can enter the recovery, but as soon as I try to wipe data or install a rom, it reboots. I tried "fastboot erase cache", I tried reflashing CWM and TWRP, and I tried ADB Sideload on both, same results.

The only way for me is to run RUU, but the problem is, any RUU that I try says "The ROM Update Utility Cannot update you Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

I am s-off and supercid on hboot 1.55, with the 3.57 firmware. Any ideas on how to get the RUU working? Thanks!

For other RUUs check this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/

I find HTCdev way too confusing, as it clutters everything together, you can easily download a RUU for "HTC One S" instead of "HTC One" (aka M7)

And since you're S-Off downgrading is no problem :D
