Text message/screen rotation lag?

Hi, I'm a text junky. And I noticed that there is some lag when sending a text message when opening the keyboard. I have to wait about 3-5 seconds before i can start typing. (i do not have any software at all installed as it is a fresh flash) If i start typing a text immediately after i slide out the keyboard, some of the letters get skipped :(. Before, even when there was lag, i could just type out an entire message and the lag would catch up to what i was typing without skipping letters. Any fixes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nispen:
Have the same thing. Very annoyoing. I just start typing away and the words lag behind. However, sometimes the device drops letters.

So, I would like a fix too. For this issue I mean.

I once ate 15 Whitecastle burgers in one sitting, and an order of fries and a chocolate shake.

I was really stoned at the time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marscandybars:
Yah i was not kidding when i said i was a text junky :-p ... i text rather fast, and well... it ALWAYS lags and drops letters when i start typing out the text message. This didn't happen with the factory installed rom nor lvsw... I'm sad...

I never encountered this problem with the Wizard (Mda vario/i-mate k-jam), and it has half the processor speed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] saq:
Change the autocompletion feature so it doesn't look until you type more than 7 characters. I had this problem too. I don't recall if I had it in WM5 but all WM6 builds until I found this experienced this issue.

Also big props to Jasjamming, I just donated a fiver to your beer fund :) Great work on Black2.0
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bludshot:
if only this thread was actually used for idle chatter... then jasjamming wouldn't hate us all. i can idle it up hard in here, regardless....

by the way, black 2.0 seems to be where it's at now. i think that every rom version should have a dev thread with only relevant posts that must be approved by the thread starter, and a **** talkin thread, such as this... to cut down on the bulll sheit. or maybe the mods could help too... bah! alls i know is that if we don't start acting like a community, we may lose that aspect of our hobby hacking.... which would hurt us all more than it helps.

jasjamming, buddy, don't be like the telco's! don't void our warranty and leave us supportless without a hope of an update! don't let m$ win!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] faria:
jas...if you require the tread open just lets us know....but first it needs to be cleaned up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ixian:
Wish I had gotten in on the earlier thread before it was closed. I feel for Jas...wading through some of the posts was hard even for silent types like me.

I did have one problem with Black 2.0 but I read the Wiki and figured out how to fix it - my keyboard symbols were slightly off on my Cingular 8525 after upgrading (@ symbol was mapped to wrong key, etc). I read up on some of the keyboard codes, edited the registry, and it worked - came to post the result in the thread today in case anyone else ran in to the problem and found out it got shut down.

Sorry it happened and Jas, if you do any private releases in the future please consider including me, I promise I won't hassle ya :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BlueAnt1958:
Jas

Really sorry you have been forced into the current situation but understand your decision. I missed the last few pages of the thread where things got out of control but did note, as with BE v1.2 the first few pages were basic rubbish download status calls, after I'd read a few times and commented about softbank keyboard settings I pretty much gave up reading further.

I guess some people need to realise that these ROMS are done as a hobby and you are not a bloody telco help desk and as you have always stated in your first post for a release there is no warranty.

I used the black roms purely on the facts that they were Aus built and bloody good. I hope in time you will once again release future versions as I would love to see just how you can improve on BE 2.0 At least please keep cookin' downunder brother.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chaps:
Like many, I too got fed up of reading the poorly written dumb questions in the 'release' threads. I probably missed a fair bit of useful info as a consequence.

It's eneviatable that such threads discussing WM6 will attract a lot of posts, but perhaps the 'mods' could have been a bit more cut-throat and simply deleted all the spam. If the mods are too busy, i'm sure there are plenty of knowledgable and trustable members on this board who would be willing to take on the task.

Anyway, as a silent wiki-reading lurker, back into the background I go. I hope i can manage to get hold of JJ's et al future releases. Thanks lads!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] IronManDS:
"No good deed goes unpunished."

Sorry to hear that the leeches sucked you dry, JJ. I disagree with, but respect, your decision. Perhaps a little "here it is, if it works for you great; if not, figure it out" attitude on your part would have been a better approach. You seemed in the trenches too much, so to speak. The generals are in the back of the theater, not on the front lines. In the future, let the grunts and lower-ranked officers deal with the ungrateful hun.

Just a thought.

Take care and thanks again for a great ROM.

J
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Piepereit:
Thanks Jas

Jas,

Sent you a private message, Cheers JJ. Thanks a ton for an awesome release. I too am a silent surfer on this site as you can see from my post count (though I have been a member of this site since early days of the Cingular 8125). I have spent my share of time researching and finally last night upped my Herm to WM6 with absolutely no problem. Black is lightning fast and am sure I will find a fix for any little niggles I come across.

"Search and ye shall find...eventually". This site is amazing. Keep up the good work and I can't thank the chefs enough.

LOL i like it IronMan :) My guide tends to put alot of people in the right direction which i figured would be some sort of artillery!??! :D

In the end i could load every line of the guide with RTFF and RTFW stuff but it would go ignored. The ROMs havent been removed they are just being cut down to the lesser ammount of people who actually appreciate and understand the work gone into them.

Sorry about all this....

Jas,

What a great Rom you have developed here. Sorry to here about all of this today, but great work and hope you will consider for those of us who use and don't abuse your work or this board. Certainly understand your position on this, as this place has gotten way out of hand....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kinky-chinky:
Come home from work and what do I find?

JJ has withdrawn his support for his baby (2.0) leaving all the sensible members in the lurch.

I fully understand his decision and hope that things change for the better as a result.

I have only had my Hermes (and 1st PPC phone) for 2 months and have learnt so much from this forum.

Hat's off to the JJ's, LVSW's and kyphur's of this forum. Also to the other guru's who have helped in providing support for our Hermes.

Another sad day for XDA

Jas, Sorry it came to this. I thought the day M$ had the FTP roms pulled was the worst day ever. Boy, was I wrong! I hope you keep posting even if you don't release your roms, your insite and technical info have been absolutly invaluble to me and many others. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep on cooking, and hopefuly some day we will be worthy again. Mabey you will now have some time to get back into you wifes good graces.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dapper:
Pity

OK ,

this is another useless remark. Jas, sorry things worked out this way for you. I know what it is to put your own private time in things and get *****ed about from all sides. I sympatize with you and hope that one day in a NOT too distance future you will change your mind and come back with your releases. Man, its not for fools to dictate your actions.

Bottom line:

I appreciated ( and still do ) your work and value it. Therefore, i respect whatever decision you make , but deeply regret I for one have to miss your work. I currently run with Black 2.0 and won't go back.

Cheers mate, hope i will see your excellent work again in the future.

Greetings from Holland ( down under from YOUR perspective).

hi,

i post really rarely,but i want to say that i understand jj's reaction.i was active on a french board that i left 1 year ago because of noobs who hassled me.

i m a reader of this forum,and i think i don't have the qualifiquation to speak,so i shut up !!!

all is always well explained.

mods should disable the pm fonction,or block the ip of hasslers i don't know but developers should be preserved.

why not create private sub forum,with interdiction to newbies?

i don't know,but i just finish with a big THANK YOU to everyone who contributes here to make our pda better

good luck

@Jasjaming

Noobs will always be here,

you/we cant stop a 12 year old boy from entering this forum...

I have been a manager in another forum for about SIX years, the FAQ will always be thrown aside, RTFM will always appear on the forum - there is nothing we can do about it.

want to take the noobs off your back? - inform on a release tread that there will be no support, use another user to post releases, remove the mail from your account information - there is no need to give us all a collective punishment.

we all love your work, we all look for bugs and float them up if we find any, most of us wont even post if we have nothing to give.

you wrote you've created a list for publishing new builds - in that way you will prevent the next generation of chefs from entering our circle - we must keep the legacy alive.

please, don't use the mailing list - give this forum it's power back.

all you need to do is ignore the noob questions.

and if you decide to use the mailing list... put me in ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mfabre:
And this is when the noob writes "me too!!!" right? :p :p :p

Seriously now. I am pretty new here. Did not have a PPC until a few months ago. Did a lot of reading and guess what... I have now done a little cooking myself (more like microwave re-heating). I'd love to keep going, learn from the process and maybe in the future give something back.

Unfortunately this is sounding more and more like the end of the road. I understand how some of the chefs feel... I have slammed the door in one of my own forum a few years back. But think about the good stuff... I guess it's IRC time?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RemE:
Jasjaming,

What a crying shame, I'm a noobie and have been learning from all sources on this forum and it's taken my 8525 from being a POS to a pretty stable PPC/Phone. I've done my best to not ask for things that could be found by reading.

I've really enjoyed your work as well as your Aussie commentary along the way. I've donated to the forum and to you personally even though I've never installed "Black". I did this out of respect for your work.

After so many hours spent on this, I'm hoping that some rest and time away from your project will allow you to see that it's better to just ignore the noobs and let the "middle fielders" lend a hand to them. Please don't let the throngs get to you. You have a following that genuinely like and appreciate what you do.

Personally, I feel that every noob should be sporting at least a few "stars" next to their avitars showing support to this forum and expect to be ignored without them.

But that's just me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mfabre:
Good point. I just donated. Enough said ;)

I've noticed that with Black 2 my battery drops like a ticking clock (other releases was good) :eek:

I have the same software installed as I did in other releases and as far as I know, it configured the same!

What i have noticed is I see the H icon more often (and I don't know why)!!! which could be why I have such a battery drain :confused: I've also noticed in the phone settings 'band' the network type is set to 'WCDMA'... is this right or should it be on Auto???

Any thoughts on this?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] icefireinsanity:
I have a galaxy s4 (i337) that is running the 4.4.2 os. I'm trying to downgrade to 4.2.2 due to the SIM issues... the phone will throw the "SIM card removed" error about ten times in a day and force a reboot, then not even register the SIM and stay in emergency mode. i'm fairly certain this is a software issue because i have the exact same model phone running 4.2.2 and have had absolutely 0 SIM errors.

that being said, i have a mac running 10.10.1 and the heimdall 1.4 for mac (i have also tried this with 1.3.1 after hearing that the latest was buggy. it didn't work either). i have tried using the heimdall interface and terminal to flash the stock files. However, it gives me the "failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence" every time... here's the text that pops up in terminal:

so, i come seeking the wisdom of the gurus who reside within this forum. what can i do?

P.S.

the files i downloaded to flash are in a .tar folder titled I337UCUAMDB_ I337ATTAMDB_I337UCUAMDB_HOME .tar"

do i need the -AMDL version for this? i have no idea what the difference is, only that there are two options to download.

I must have installed a dozen or more ROMs since I got this phone, but never has it had any backups available during initial install wizard. It still lists my Note 4 backups though and it's been months. :/ Is there any way to force it to backup to Google?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
do you have backup my data and restore checked in backup & reset(main settings)?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReelFiles:
Yes, and I double check, just to be sure.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
I dont believe that custom GAPPS packages have the ability to backup to Googles Servers. I have only been able to get stock builds (Odex or Deodex) to backup. Anything else never does.

The same issue was on prior versions of Android with restoring of WiFi accounts and stuff.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReelFiles:
Thank you, that makes sense. I guess I would have to setup a stock ROM the way I like it, use it for a bit and then restore that to a custom ROM. Any idea how often it makes these backups? I only ran a stock ROM on it for about a day or so.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pecata:
It is really weird because I was running stock unrooted for about 3 days and when I un-encrypted and rooted I still didn't have a backup on Nexus 6-I had to restore a backup of my Nexus 5 from like 3 weeks ago...this is very strange and I don't know what is causing the issue...

Not AFAIK, only when running the OOBE wizard does it list previous backups. This is something Google should implement in it's device manager, so you can delete old crap, check backup status and force a backup.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resynx:
I was wondering if I was the only one that was experiencing this. Hope to see a fix soon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davzone:
I have a similar issue.

I have a backup. I did a factory reset 2 days ago, and the initial setup showed a nexus 6 backup but it was 16 days old...

I was using the phone every day, on LTE and on WiFi but the backup stopped 16 days earlier for no reason.

Do not know why, didn't change anything, i was on stock the whole time. The only thing i did was changing the dpi(like 5 weeks ago). That is why i did the factory image flash/reset.

This is an issue with Google, and its been there for a long time.

Before lollipop we just didn't see the backup screen so we didn't know that it was working or not.

Sometimes after a factory reset my WiFi passwords came back sometimes they didn't. And.And this was prior lollipop.

It looks like the issue is still there but now we can actually see if we have a backup or not...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReelFiles:
I always had fresh backups when I had a Note 4, the Note 3 and the Note 2. My wife has had a Galaxy phone since the S2 and never had that issue either. Seems to be a Nexus thing, to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davzone:
I had a note 2, and used Samsung account for backup also, and that worked well.

Could be a nexus issue, but i don't know whats the cause.

I remember updating the Google play services manually from apk mirror(with the correct version OFC). Maybe that broke the backup process.

Not really a big deal for me but its certainly a problem for many.
