i had same problem but i was running better keyboard 8 and it was on RcMix rom..what keyboard are you using?
Has happened to me stock, not stock, gingerbread and froyo. Seems like its a random bug(possibly with touchscreen driver, which can probably be fixed). Already planned on messing with the driver to see if it can be fixed.
Happens all the time. Running latest cm7 nightly. Rather Annoying.
Sent with a hint of unicorn horn.
this happens to me all the time.
I have the same problem, it's rather annoying.
Im having the same problem. is this only on cm7?
Used to happen to me, but interestingly enough, Swype fixed it.
I have owned two android phones now (n1 and the inspire) and they both had crazy annoying keyboards. It's like google is trying to mess with us!
I have had the same issue on CM7 and now UD 1.8.
Though... this has all been pretty recent.
xda Premium | Inspire |
CM7 | Cattleprod 4.3.1 - 1.8
DAMN!! no way!! I just ripped off a perfectly nice RealLook screen protector because i kept thinking it was the coating and my finger oils causing it not to work. I was even going to post a thread saying to not buy them because it causes letters not to work every once in awhile. It happens to me ALL the time, and seems to happen much more frequently when i use the HTC IME mod keyboard, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Di11i....it would be amazing if you could get this working better!
Never had this problem for the first month with my first inspire, when i swapped it out for a new one (unrelated problem) had this issue sine.
Had this problem on cm nightly but since those builds are on android 2.3.4, I have not had any issues

Have this same issue....ffffff
Trying to decide if I want to go through with unlocking bootloader or just staying rooted for the time being. For those of you that have already done it, are the ROMs worth it at this point? Should I just hold out until AOSP is working a little better? I have also heard that phones have gone dead after unlocking and needing replaced. I got the device second hand and am not with AT&T so that really isn't an option for me. That is what's probably stopping me as of now. Also immediately after rooting my phone decided to shut off and took a minute to come back on, not sure if that is normal or what.
Guess I'm just looking for opinions and persuasion. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.
I'm running AOKP and its perfectly capable of running as a daily driver. Its much smoother than the Sense ROMs.
Yes thats normal after rooting your device.
And I've never heard about devices going dead after unlock...
Wasn't sure if the powering off was normal or what because the root window closed, the phone fully booted gave me the "android upgrading" popup then powered off.
Heard a couple people saying their phones just went dead a couple days after unlocking. Not sure if that was what it was related to but it didn't happen until after.
HTC devices aren't my forte by any means though, much more comfortable with Samsung phones and the way they do things.
I too am used to Sammy, HTC and there se purity is all new to me. But I have unlocked and am running cleanROM. Totally worth and phone hasn't died yet lol. I have never heard of phones dying from unlock either.

One day you will sit down with your bootloader unlocked and new rom installed and ponder what took you so long. Might backhand yourself in the process.
Developer's are already making huge leaps when it comes to roms, mods etc. I haven't been able to flash anything in a week and yet I was loving cleanrom for it's speed, stability and extra features. Plenty of other developers too kicking ass. As rohan mentioned you already have AOKP and CM9.
BTW i was one who had phone die on me but it had nothing to do with unlocked bootloader.
Think you guys talked me into it! Really hate this stupid recent button, should have been menu. The bloat on stock is also ridiculous.

+1 for AOKP (or the CM9 port). They still have a few quirks (like keeping your dial tones on or call audio dies, some issues with music playback) but will work day to day. I haven't regretted it flashing AOKP for one second though.
I might give AOKP a try tonight. Currently running clean ROM light. I'm actually liking Sense 4 so I'm not in a rush for AOSP.
I'm running clean rom 2.3 dev and its a great rom! I am wanting to try aokp or cm9 but I'm waiting a little to decide. Decisions, decisions.
Sent from my HTC One X
+1 for running cleanrom 2.3, I have been hearing a lot of great words on cm9 will give that a shot soon. OT, you should unlock now. Don't wait, the ROMs are absolutely worth it and nothing is better than making a phone your own, and not just some phone you can buy at the store.
I actually unlocked not long after posting this. Been running CleanROM Lite and it's fantastic. Waiting for AOKP to be a little more stable before flashing it.
Try installing Cleanrom 2.6
I have this installed and it's super fast and smooth.. very stable.. a lot better than stock Rom.. sogo ahead n root n unlock ur bootloader
I am currently running the CM9 Alpha 3 ROM and love it. Well worth the trouble of unlocking.
Running rooted stock ICS.
Whenever I get a call I get 2 options: answer and reject
What if I want to ignore the call? You know, not answer but have the phone stop ringing. How do I do this?
Also, the answer call screen sucks. What the hell is this drag the button into the ring crap? Anybdy know how to get rid of sense, or atleast the asnwer screen, without installing a custom rom? I respect the people who make custom roms, but I've never used one that was as stable as stock, so I've a bit hesitant to use them.

Try pressing volume down button when u receive a call
jyo1 beat me to it....
So if it is in my pocket, I take it out and put it face down on a table or press the volume down button? Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow.
I really wish HTC sense was a bit more intuitive. So far all it does is cause non-sense apps to crash and make me relearn how to use an Android phone. I've had two different alarm clock apps crash, as in the alarm didn't go off and I work up to a screen saying the app had crashed, because of sense. I'm really considering switching to a non-sense custom rom. It reminds me of all the problems I had with apps when I used MIUI on my U8800. I really really liked MIUI, but so many apps had problems with it.

WOW, you're really having a bad experience with Stock Sense. Non-intuitive I agree with, too much arcane knowledge but that's the same with all roms/apps. I don't think I ever had an issue with the Alarm clock on either Stock or Custom ROMs, although I tend to use the standard one that's built in, just swap to an analogue face for the clock.
The ignore call thing (flip the phone) I seem to remember from an early TV advert for the Sensation.
Can't comment on MIUI, I tried an early alpha/beta on my old Desire but gave up and went on a round robin of ROMs 'til I settled on CM6/7 for the desire.

At first I used the stock alarm clock. Then when I woke up I kept turning it off instead of snoozing, because I didn't know how the button/ring combo worked. The first few phone calls I got I also didn't understand the button/ring thing. I kept trying to drag the ring to the reject button and couldn't figure out why that was answering the phone. I then tried an alarm clock where you had to do a math problem to snooze it. But the hardest difficulty was just division with some subtraction. I was hoping for at least some algebra, or an option for some easy calculus. Having to do a derivatives/integrals first thing in the morning would get me out of bed.
I'm currently working on my MBA in international management, and one thing I've learned from some case studies is this: If an idiot can't figure out how to use your product without reading the instruction manual, your product has a problem. I'm an idiot and who has had the phone for about a week now and I still am having trouble figuring things out. That's bad product design. My first Android phone I had figured out in a couple of hours.
Don't get me wrong though, I love the Sensation XE. It is an awesome phone, I just really don't like sense. I like things very simple and direct, and Sense is trying to be all magical like a certain fruit phone. Unfortunately, this will probably be the one and only HTC phone I purchase, because of sense. I don't regret this purchase though.

LOL, maths first thing in the morning. Mind you I'm the sort of person that If I set the alarm I usually wake up before it goes off. (subject to beer consumption). Like the style though, just don't have too much Mao Tai (evil tasting drink).

Agree, Arcane knowledge, unfortunately that goes with complexity of the system in question. I'm, like you I suspect, not a great reader of manuals.

I've recently moved to CM10 (AOSP Jelly Bean), it's only in alpha/beta but it's still pretty slick given its status.
I used to be on Virtuous Inquisition on my pre replacement/replacement Sensation. Sense back end with AOSP look and feel.
I know the leak is out there in the dev section, but I'm having trouble getting a feeling or consensus on the quality of the rom. In particular, I'm most concerned with battery life and general crashing/incompatibilities that might occur going about basic operations. Anyone care to share their experience so far? Is it more worth waiting til Jan/Feb when I'm guessing Verizon might finally release JB?

I've been running the CleanRom ULE version of this since the day it was posted and love it. Quite noticeably faster and smoother than ICS. GPS lock is faster than it ever was on ICS. Mobile data is the same as it was - I'm in a pretty good 4G area and have no problems. One thing I have noticed is that Wifi is pickier when I'm on the fringe of the signal. Some places where I used to be able to connect, I can't any more. But if I'm in a stronger signal area it's just fine.
I hate that my notification bar isn't straight black. It's like, off black but not quite grey.

Lol, I thought I was the only one who cared about that.....kinda annoys me.
Other than that, it runs super great for me. I was on it for the first three days or so, but needed my cm10 fix again. Its so good that I usually spend about half my week cm10, half on one of the jb leaks.

VRBLI5 JellyBean is better in certain areas and worse in others compared to ICS...overall I would give it a slight edge. I bet the official update will polish things up a bit. You have to remember the JB leak is dated oct. 8th. There was a reason it did not make it as a official ota...its still pretty good for a leak, definately not complaining by anymeans. :good:
The one from incubus hadn't given me a single problem yet. I think my battery life actually improved. After about 11 hrs yesterday mine was still at 30% (Bluetooth on, brightness up).
I think it's great. I'm using Synergy, which I think is excellent (always has been). If you use this ROM, you should also flash the radio update (I5) and RPM (power management) update. The radio is definitely improved - I'm not having my calls constantly dropped anymore in below-average signal locations!! Very happy with this update.
I flashed the Incubus RLS11 yesterday and it ran fine for a while. Things were smooth. Didn't notice any problems.
I'm in the sticks but I get pretty good LTE. To make sure I don't lose it when I need it I use the Phone Info app to go LTE only. That worked great on stock or stock-rooted-unlocked. It even worked good on CM10 and AOKP-M1. But for some reason on the Incubus ROM I started having real problems.
I tried forcing LTE only which would work for a few seconds and then would switch back automatically to the default LTE/CDMA/EvDo. After playing around with it some more it got stuck in CDMA auto (PRL) for a while and then GSM auto (PRL) and then EvDo only. It was really weird. I got tired of messing with it so I restored my stock image.
I didn't do the radios or RPM which was probably my problem. The links on the page I got the rom from were dead.
I'll try again, just didn't want to fool with it last night. Other than the radio issue it was real smooth. I'm a freak, I kinda really like TouchWiz. I was on stock or CM or KANG so much on my GNex, I'm enjoying the skinned experience. The biggest thing I miss from the GNex is JB though.
Been running JellyWiz RLS12 all week and it's been great. Battery life is same it was stock. Some have had issues with battery, but if you read through the thread for that ROM, I believe there are fixes. The only issue I have that is unresolved is I am not able to play movies or tv back through the Google Play Movies and TV app. The phone just reboots. Not a big deal for me right now, and Google Now easily makes up for it.
I have been running the lastest leak for two days now, the biggest changes I noticed, are the following
1. the Driving mode on/off toggle seems to have been removed from the pulldown bar, but driving mode itself is still there. (I downloaded a home screen widget to turn it on and off quickly)
2. The entire phone itself, from games, to movies, to youtube videos seems.....smoother and more refined (I blame Project Butter)
3. Slight battery life improvement :good:
4. if you use facial unlock, they moved the camera bypass from bottom to top right corner
My only complaint so far is that when I get a text message, missed call, voicemail I get the "Swipe over Icon to view the missed event" alert.
Don't get me wrong those nice little alerts help introduce to you new features of the phone. I don't mind them once or twice, but this specific one on the lock screen, I can't get rid of. Any ideas?

Under the wireless (WIFI) settings you have to disable "Avoid poor connections"..should help that

Have the same hotspot issues but otherwise it's pretty smooth. Very quick and yes I know everyone says that but it's not a placebo. I even put my phone back to stock because I need foxfi and it is considerable slower... Not slower but just not as quick to respond

Running Cleanrom 4.5 that is JB- Battery is awesome, rom feels fast and smooth.
These are the item I found wrong with the latest JB leak: (at least on my phone)
After an alarm goes off and you try and lock your phone, it won't lock. The screen will turn off but won't stay off. You have to unlock your phone to home screen then relock it.
New Samsung keyboard was incredibly laggy.
When trying to delete an extra home screen the phone would lock up and then say "touchwiz home has stopped working."
I don't think this was a bug but to get to the task manager, I had to hold down the home button for like 5 seconds!
There was another thing but I can't remember it. I was running the untouched leak, via Odin. I went back to stock.

Had the same problem, froze Help 1.0 with TiBU, no more problem. (credit some other post, cannot recall where)
Hey guys so I've got a huge issue. I'm on now my 3rd SGSIII and I'm getting very annoyed. My screen goes nuts randomly. I think I've found a fix, but I'm not sure what's causing it, as most people don't show the symptoms. My screen starts flashing and flickering, whether it's the lockscreen, the homescreens, within an app or in the app menu it does the same thing. I haven't taken a video of it yet, but will if someone wants to see what's happening. I've had it happen only on JB, both roms and stock doesn't seem to matter. The 'fix' is the same one as AOSP rom users use, which is to disable hardware overlay, however I don't know why a non-AOSP rom would need to deal with this. The roms I've used are: Vengeance, CleanRom, Synergy and The Executioner. I've gotten so annoyed that I've gotten Verizon to allow me to switch to the DNA if I want. I've taken a few Logcat's, if someone who can decipher them more than I can to figure out what's actually wrong would be great! I've taken a bunch of logcats, but only have one posted to pastebin. It was taken whilst I was having the issues. Thanks for the help guys!

Nope, I don't run that stuff because all of the rendering updates and stuff can get annoying to look at while working. I'm able to get the same issues on a fully stock rom, and a pure flashed rom, with a few programs installed. But the fact that the hardware render seems to be the issue to me is just very odd on a non-AOSP rom.
I have been having screen flickering issues ever since I flashed the latest AOKP build (AOSP) I originally thought that it was because of the kernal and the under voting that I applied but even with a different governor and normal volt settings the screen still flickeres. After some poking around I figured you that it is only happening while I am trying to type and by uninstalling the Swype beta keyboard the screen flicker had been reduced to almost nothing. I do not know why the keyboard would amplify the effect but if I use the system keyboard the flickering becomes almost non existent.
Also, the screen flickers anytime a pop up menu is on screen, such as in the tapatalk app, the menu that pops up to allow you to quote someone..

Had been having the same issue on Baked Bean 6, flashed BB7 last night and it seems the problem is gone. BB7 being 4.2.1 I'm guessing whether intentional or not somewhere along the process of updating the "bug" if it indeed was as it appeared was squashed.
I'd be curious to know what was causing this, if by chance you find a definitive answer please post it.
Thanks

I had a very similar issue for a while, i flashed LEAN KERNEL
Rebooted twice, and problem went away.
For an update, I flashed kt's latest kernal and the flashing has ceased.
