Hey guys
I have got some simple questions
1.) I can't connect my XT720 to Ad-hoc networks. I already found out that this is a general Android problem, but none of the solutions worked for me. Can you describe exactly what I have to do to get it working?
2.) When I want to start the camera, I have to press the camera button for about 2 seconds, but this only works when the screen is on and my phone is unlocked. Is there any way to get it working when the screen is off?
3.) When taking pictures, there are always stripes on the screen, especially when it's dark. After I take the photos, the phone tries to optimize them, but it doesn't always look well. This is even more noticeable when taking videos, but then the phone doesn't optimize them. My brother, who also has a XT720, doesn't have this problem. Is this a hardware or a software problem? My phone is rooted and I have Apps2SD, Froyo JIT installed, my brothed doesn't have that.
Thank you for answering and sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany and just 15 years old
I can answer question three by saying my phone takes perfect pics and vids, in all lights. It goes without saying that overall quality of pics are better in well lit environments, but never do I get any stripes.
That being said, I have rooted and O/C'ed my phone but have not done Apps2SD or Froyo JIT installations. So I might focus the problem of those two areas.
Is your brothers phone running Apps2SD and JIT?
"I have Apps2SD, Froyo JIT installed, my brothed doesn't have that."
i think he clearly said that in the first post
@spyeye95
for question 2 unfortunately you cant. unless you use a 3rd party app for your lock screen

Well with that being said, Apps2SD or Froyo JIT look to be the source of that problem, I would lean toward the Froyo JIT.
Well, I can't rememeber how it was before I had JIT, but maybe it is just a problem of MY XT720 and has nothing to do with the JIT?
/edit: I just fixed point 1 with the help of a German youtube tutorial:

Do you know the name of any of those lock screen apps which supports that?

well most of them are paid apps and it does not really work :/ it lags your phone and at times the original lock screen will appear after you open the 3rd party one :/
to solve this we need to unlock the boot loader. untill that happens its just a waste of memory and battery power :s
Hi spyeye95,
I'm having the same problem as you for number 3, the stripes are killing me.
But it's fine in bright condition.
I can confirm, the problem is not because the Froyo JIT, I tried many firmware (Central Europe, Russia, USA) and it all having the same problem, before and after I apply the Froyo JIT.
My conclusion is, this is a hardware defect. Can you bring your XT720 to a motorola support near you and ask?
Because I can't, I'm in Indonesia and we don't have support for XT720.
For lock screen apps you can try WidgetLocker, just search here in xda.
I've unsintalled it because it's very lag and I can't resume my angry birds session if my screen is locked, it's just go to the app and make angry birds restart over.
Edit: Did you try recording without SIM card inserted? Just turn off your phone, take out the SIM card, and boot it again. The picture and video is better. I'm very sure this is a camera defect.

the thing about the sim card :/ its cuz the phone is connecting to the HSPDA or 3g network
turn it to airplane mode and it has the same effect :/ not everything is an instant hardware defect
and also the roms form the regions you mentioned arent that different. they all have the same weaknesses

Oh yeah, forgot about the airplane mode...
It's just I don't know what to do, I switch my SIM back to my N82 and leaving my XT720 SIMless, and notice the difference.
Still can't figure the problem about the stripes.
What do you suggest reaperzero?
Especially for the firmware.
Hm, if you say that this is a hardware defect, then I think i will bring it to support and let them repair it.
But another questions: I want to check before if it works if I do a factory reset, so how can I save all my apps so that I don't have to install all of them manually afterwards? I'm new to Android, so please forgive me for asking.

those stripes as you call it are actually due to the program :/ . you can either use another program to record and have it optimize the vid. but other then that there is nothing much you can do
I can say I have a stock wind firmware on my xt720 and I do get the stripes/banding issue when using the camera, although rare, i think it has to be certain lighting conditions the camera has trouble with it. In my scenario I was at a supermarket taking a picture of a box of ferraro rocher and then i saw the banding issue...
I would post here as motorola is keeping track of the bugs

I might be buying a used Captivate tomorrow, is there anything I should look out for?
Does the phone have a moisture seal that would show if the phone was in water?
Should be two white stickers, one on battery the other on the case in the battery compartment. Also look at the usb port for any signs of corrosion.

If possible, try out the GPS. It seems some people have no issues at all, some without a working GPS period, and some with minor issues (like me).
Ask for a day or two test drive or a return policy. The random shutdown problem you see in a thread here seems to happen in some phones more than others, suggesting a hardware problem.

If you plan on putting a custom rom check the bottom combos to get recovery and download mode.
Make sure it boots and isn't bricked
It might be worth checking out Samsung's warranty policy as well, just to be sure the device's warranty will transfer to you (the new owner).

another quick question
Is there a way to sync outlook contacts/calender with andriod phone? That does not include the need to having all your information uploaded to google.
this is good stuff guys, I'm hoping to convert my iPhone-head wife to one of us ha!
Turn the screen up to at least half brightness and look at a completely white page, like the search screen or a browser window. Look at the color temp. Galaxy S devices (and apparently the Nexus S, too) vary widely from cool (blue) whites to neutral-and-warm (yellowish) hues. This bugs some, and doesn't phase others.
^Actually, you can see this when you look at the AT&T world phone boot screen when the phone is first turned on, too.
OK, so i bought the used Captivate, and I have to say the GPS sucks compared to my old FUZE.
right now looking for advice before I get rid of this phone.
1) GPS seems to see between 4-10 satellies but can't lock on, if it does lock on it stays locked on for 1-2 seconds
2) when GPS lock on for brief moment, tracking never works, the pointer on Google maps just stays still
3) Sometimes when it shows my location it 50-200 feet off from the actual location, and thats with GPS
For example GPS in my Fuze shows my location in backyard almost excactly to 2-3 feet, Captivate when it got GPS lock it was showing my location 2 houses down the street.
PLEASE HELP

well i did lisen, when i was buying the phone it did lock on location (and found the correct location), what I didn't do is go for a drive with the GPS, thats where the problem starts.
Then you just got one of the weird ones then. You say you're on froyo, try another rom. Some roms work better than others, too.

could a cold day with snow showers affect GPS in very bad way?
My phone has a problem in QIK for TMOB. It does not work with the back camera only works with front facing camera. But I downloaded regular Qik app from market and it does work perfectly. Does anyone else has this problem?
Also you might be wondering if regular qik works, what is the problem? The problem is when somebody calls me I am not able to flip my camera (I guess the tmob app opens up.) Then I have to call them back using regular qik and everything works fine.
By the way my phone is not rooted and nothing has been moded.

Well when most of these problems occur their is three routes you can usually take:
1) Uninstall the update that happened when you first opened the T-mobile Qik and than re-update it.
2)Just freeze/uninstall the T-mobile app from your phone and just use market one.
3)Yell at the heavens and curse T-mobile for condemning the G2x to a life burdened with bloatware.

I like your 3rd option....
On a serious note, I tried the first solution you gave, but it did not work for me somehow. And I guess the second option needs rooting, which I am still not comfortable with. I came from HD2. I did lots of testing there but I didn't care about that phone anymore. But I love this phone which I don wanna mess up.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions.

Well on a serious note rooting for this phone is cake and with oneclickroot you can unroot the phone too if your heart desires. Plus when you root you can change alot of simple settings to extend battery life and make the phone run better!

No problem someone had to push me my first time rooting too. And after you root look at the link in my sig for some tips on how to get more battery life.
When I opened Qik it said there was an update and directed me to the Market. With Record and Share open, when you hit menu, there's a button to switch the camera between front and back.
After about one day of this GB update, what can we tell? Still any issues? Some people bricked their phones, so is there any idea why? Can we recap on what has been achieved this far? Are there any flashable ROMs with all good stuff?
The phone is still buggy. I have been having issue with BT and the phone locked up on a call once.
Basically, sometimes when I turn my BT headset off, it will still say it is connected on the phone. I will need to turn the BT off and then back on to get it to work correctly again.
As for the phone locking up. I was on BT and switched over to the speaker phone and the phone just died. I had to do a battery pull to get it to turn back on.
So it really just sounds like they need to work on BT more because I never had these issues on Froyo.

Did you update the baseband?
I'm curious about this too! I was about to start a tread, but this one shall do.
Questions -
1. (People having reboots before update)
*Did it fix the reboot issue?
2. (People with signal problems before update)
*Did the new baseband fix this/ do you get better signal now??
3. Another problem I have is that wifi and 4G constantly battle each other to see which one gets the signal. So I have to turn wifi on and off until 2G/4G go away.
(For people that have this)
*Did this get solved?
4. * Does GPS lock faster/work better?
I've had three different phones and I've had same issues with all three and even trying different roms. A different rom might fix one issue, but not the others for me.
My main concern is the reboot and signal issues!
These are questions for people that have same or similar issues.
NOT for people with no issues before update.
So please NO "There is nothing wrong with my phone!" People.
Thanks!!
....
For those who are still having problems after the update it might be wise just to do a factory reset because froyo and gbread is very different...
* GPS locks much faster now, often instantly, and indoors.
* Switching between 2G/4G seems to be smoother; doesn't lose the connection for a few seconds like it used to

I had reboot issues before and so far haven't had any, but to make a proper conclusion I'll have to wait, as even before the update sometimes I would make it days between reboots/shut offs and sometimes only hours.
GPS appears to be very good now, as for wifi/4g/2g I always turn off 2g and use only wcdma setting, and haven't had any issues with it, I leave my wifi and BT on at all times too even when not connected and don't have too bad battery strain.
some things I noticed, in the gallery now when I hit share I don't see the gmail option, the camera reverted back to stock, which is a shame because I loved the things the LG cam app had, but there are a lot of camera apps (I love vignette) so that's not a huge issue, if anyone has the lg app I would love it back though.
I did have some sluggishness especially this morning, I downloaded some widgets though so it might be more of what I added than the update itself.
one surprise was that I thought it was supposed to wipe all data etc. from the phone, but everything was set up the same as I had it before with launcher pro, so I was happy I didn't have to start from scratch. Also I have been getting occasional force closes with launcher pro that I didn't have before.
as far as quadrant scores go I'm getting consistant 2600+ so that is good, I had Faux's kernal and OC to 1300 w/ pimpmycpu and was getting 2800-3000 so without OC I'm more than happy with 2600. Now if only netflix will make it's way to this phone as is, and hopefully we can root soon as i really want ROM Manager, pimpmycpu and a few other root only apps to work again! Love this community, everyone is so helpful and creative, keep up the good work.

Has anyone figured out why some people have bricks trying to update? To be honest I still hesitate to do the update because I still don't know why this happens
MOST of the situations seem to be because they didn't want to follow directions, and insisted on doing it their way...then, "OMG! LG BRICKZORD MY PHONE!!!"
I'm sure there were a minority few that had some other difficulty, but from what I read, almost every "brick" post I read had failed to list "nvflashed stock recovery" as one of the prerequisite steps.

I wish that were true for me. As I've mentioned in other threads, I'm still getting 90-180 second TTFFs, which is about where I was with stock Froyo. I hope someone will reply to my question in the other thread about the system settings they have that give them such good results. I've fiddled with all of the ones in the hidden menu GPS Test section and haven't found a good combination (and I don't know what the factory settings are supposed to be any more); it's hard because of having to wait a few hours between tests to let the ephemeris data expire in the receiver so I won't just be getting a carryover hot fix.

Hmm, that's strange; I still have Gmail in the list of options for "Share" in the gallery.
As for the camera, I think I actually like this one better. At least, it seems to do a better job of taking close-ups with the flash. With the original LG camera, close-up flash photos were always blown-out and overexposed. I took a couple of test shots in a dark room with the flash, and they look great, about as good as you can get with an LED flash, I think.

If I recall, once you reach the % range....the install range, it tells you, do NOT disconnect. Some of the pictures people were showing were in the Analyze area, before the actual download and install. I think if you get past the analyze phase you can install. I don't believe you can get past it with CWR installed.
Even still, the anticipated failure rate of an update like this (Bricked), is like 8 digits to the right of the decimal point. Even with the problems MS had with the NODO update on the Samsungs, the total # of failures was like 8 World wide. (or just over half their sales. )
So the process is pretty well tested and known.

Yesterday I was listening to music on O3D after a long time as I mostly use my Nokia N900 for music playback. Anyway I found the sound to skip every few seconds making it painful to listen. I suddenly remembered this that it was like that when i was testing my new O3D back in nov 2011 and I sort of ignored it since I ddin't want to feel that my new $700+ was incapable of doing even a 50$ phone can do easily.
Anyway there might be ways to fix it but i havn't searched in the forums yet. My post is to just list of issues i have faced with o3d. And big FU to LG and will never buy or recommend another LG to anyone.
1. Ghost call - We all know what this is. After GB upgrade majority of people have calls not being registered on their phones while the caller is hearing ringing on their end
2. Stuttering Music - explained above - SOLUTION: Can be fixed by changing SD Cach to 128kb.
3. Sucky battery - On most non custom roms and standard froyo
4. Random reboots - On froyo as well as GB
5. Battery stats not working on Gingerbread
6. Poor quality of photos (seems software problem)
7. Wifi button gets blocked sometimes -> can only get unlocked rebooting (even on 21D) - To explain further, if at anytime you see your wifi button greyed out and phone getting hot check the phone using cpu usage program and you'll see a process called ti_qwlan or something using 48% of the cpu constantly and your phone battery will die within a short time depending on the charge status. From full charge to less than 10mins is about an hour if not too much overclocked.
8. Phone freezes and screen doesn't come on unless restarted.
9. Phone freezes if you are using it and someone calls, you can't answer screen goes blank.
10. Clock freezes as someone mentioned, what i had was it reverts to some weird time and I have to uncheck/check the operator provided time option to get the correct time back.
11. Multi-touch fails sometimes
If anyone else has found other issues pls do share.

For stuttering music, it's a documented problem and can be fixed. It has to do with the read_ahead_kb setting, apparently setting it to 128 solves the issue or vastly reduces the number of occurrences. Putting your music in the internal sdcard also reduces the occurrences.
I love my O3D but i never get those music stuff ups, are you on stock rom? But i agree the battery sucks so i bought a 3500mhz one of ebay and a 2200mhz aswell since the 3500 needs a weird looking back cover but good for long trips

I find that when using the 3D button whilst using the camera, especially when taking 3D pictures, the phone just randomly reboots. (V21a gingerbread)

1. Ghost call - We all know what this is. After GB upgrade majority of people have calls not being registered on their phones while the caller is hearing ringing on their end
2. Stuttering Music - explained above
3. Sucky battery - On most non custom roms and standard froyo
4. Random reboots - On froyo
If anyone else has found other issues pls do share.

5. Battery stats not working on Gingerbread
6. Poor quality of photos (seems software problem)
7. Wifi button gets blocked sometimes -> can only get unlocked rebooting (even on 21D)

Oh yes i forgot to put the battery status
For your issue on 7 yes, i've had that problem as well in one of the roms or kernel combo. Not only the wifi gets greyed out, you lose your battery in matter of minutes depending on the battery charge remaining. That has to do with cpu being utilized 100%. When i had that issue, i checked cpuusage app and showed some ti_wlan process taking 48% of the cpu constantly and only reboot would fix it.
But now it's not happening maybe due to some program i uninstalled or new kernel etc but it's my luck i guess.

I have 16gb class 10 card installed and my music is about 3gb so i can't afford to put in internal card which has tons of programs/games already and i have just 2.9 gb on it.
I'll search more on that settings or any other program i can use which can make listening to music easier on ears LOL.

Currently I'm with PowerAmp with the values I suggested at that thread and works very well.
Additionally, you can flash ROM v2.7.1 by Thiaiz -> he has set SD Cache Size to 128KB by default, which can help you.

you should add
wireless settings die and this causes a massive usage of the battery
sometimes the phone freezes and won't respond anymore
clock freezes and forces you to reboot the phone
random shut downs which make your phone to not respond but the processor keeps running killing your battery
so far I've seen those issues
edit: to the guy above, I think you two have stalkers xD never seen that issue on my phone

it looks like the app is problem, not the phone.
or the way the phone handles apps.
i did the same tests, but had no problems after restarting said app.
anyone try this test on other phones?
Been contemplating for a while whether to post this as it will come off as rather trollish. Had my Infuse for over a year now. When I first got it I noticed there were some "issues". I remained patient hoping or thinking maybe when GB was released it would improve. It did not. Later I needed to root this phone and came here, found a ROM that had all the AT&T junk stripped out. Phone worked better, but still had these issues.
I got to the point that I knew I would never again purchase either a Samsung phone or Android. Did not know what the culprit was. Just recently I had the chance to really take a look at an HTC EVO, and I realized that Samsung is the problem, not Android.
Number one issue is that this phone is sluggish, and sometimes unresponsive. I will touch whatever button and get that vibrating acknowledgement, but nothing happens. I will be in the app menu and wish to exist and the home button just does not respond.
Yesterday I missed a call because the bloody phone just did not respond, even though I touched the answer button. Other times I just can not make a call. I dial number, and the phone just sits there doing nothing. Eventually I just pull out the battery and restart the phone to make a simple bloody call. I had a HTC WinMo phone for years and never once experienced this. No matter how farked the OS could get with some app or whatever, the phone function always worked.
I do not run a lot of apps, and recently have experienced these issues with almost literally no apps installed. I will then add something like GO taskmanger just to confirm that the unresponsive behavior is not due to some app taking up memory/CPU etc..
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wits end with this bloody phone. The fact that I miss calls when the **** phone is right in my hand is unacceptable. So before placing this phone in a box filled with C4 and shooting this to the moon, hoping that maybe a solution is out there.
p.s. I have 2 Infuse in use, both have the same issue.
What firmware are you running?
Is it the same firmware on both phones?
What is the launcher?
Have you tried a different modem?
Are you using a battery saver like juice defender?
Are you using an ad blocker?
Are you using a specific kernel? Oc? Uv?
Need for specific info

You know, for the rather lengthy post, you really have not explained any detail about your issue.. You have a generic 'I have an issue, the Infuse sucks' post and its not going to help anyone resolve your issue. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that you have 2 infuses having the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Yes, there will be times when you get a defective phone or it isnt working up to your standards, but to have 2 defective phones with the same defect? You need to play the lottery. Also, i suggest you send the phones back. It sounds like youve already made your mind up and have pretty much bashed the samsung infuse in that entire post. The same samsung infuse that myself, and plenty of other people live with day to day and have absolutely 0 complaints.
I will give you $20.00 a piece for them!!!!

Simple . Hack it and put cm7 on it if you really need speed. Maybe its your screen protecter. Wipe the screen off. Cm9 can be sluggish, for speed go to miui on gingerbread or cm7
Id be willing to buy one of the infuses
Trust me...sounds like you got two defective units...which like Scott, I find hard to believe...but hey its possible-idk when you got hem.but if it hasn't been a year then put them back to stock with gtgs unbrick and file a warranty claim with Samsung...the infuse is a great phone and I never had the problem you described...I do have a question though...did you get them both at the same time? Cause I don't see why you would get a second if your first was having problems
Anyways...if you wanna sell one hmu...I may buy one depending on the price and if I can get the money (I think I already may have one lined up for $170 just need to get the money)

Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).
are you completely wiping before every flash youve done? have you tried a complete wipe and start from fresh?

Task manager is NOT the best app to tell you what is running in the background.
Maps and other location apps may not be listed but will consume resourse that can be the cause of your lag.
The fact that stopping wallpaper or live wall paper off alleviate the condition may suggest that the phone is running at max capacity. Steps to reduce the load improves it. Live wp, facebook, maps, stock email and other device manager from stock att was one of the first @#$% I took out on any rom I run.
Having a large amount of apps installed can also cause this lag. The OS may only be able to handle so many.
Have a poor signal at the time of the call may also be an issue, especially if both of your phones have this issue occasionally but not consistently.
Lock screen can also be a factor. Some sleep setting may also cause the phone to wake up poorly. I get around this by turning off my lock screen. On the call settings, you can also change the answering options so that it will override others and make it easy to answer.
On any firmware - stock or modded, after you have the phone running for an extended period of time without a reboot, you may start to see some lags. This may be across all devices. You may need to reboot it occasionally or boot into recovery and wipe the cache.
These issues may or not go away once you have a device with more power or resources..ex: dual or quad core, 1gb or 2gb ram etc..my guess is when a device has more power, programmers will come up with more resourse intensive apps that may hinder the phone as well.
Lastly, pay attention to your battery meter. As the power dips below 30%, there are steps taken by the OS to conserve the battery. This may give you lags as well..possibly one of the reason why it seems random also.
If you wanted to test out the lag issue due to background apps, go to settings/account and sync. turn off background data. You will retain the (radio) phone and text but there will be no email/facebook, weather, widgets/market/amazon etc updates unless you manually update them. If this runs smoothly but lags when you turn it back on, you can start the process of narrowing down your culprit.
