[Q] Infuse Concerns

So Im just about to pickup the Infuse because my buddy is gonna sell it to me pretty cheap. He said that every now and then his phone when pressing on an app will not open the app but instead vibrate intermittently and pretty much need to be reset by taking out the battery. Is this a common issue with this phone and if so is there any fix for it (software updates, rooting, etc..) any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S.- Im pretty sure I had this problem when I had the Captivate (3 months) until I got the Inspire...

i dont think you will know till you get it, it may just need to be reflashed and what not.

It's totally stock and he said that he's restored it once b4. I'm more looking for if others have had this issue.

If you use GPS, try it first to make sure it is locking and tracking accurately.

Yeah Ik the Captivate had some HORRID gps... My buddy told me that the Infuse was pretty decent and seemed to track ok...is this still an issue?

definitely not a common issue with this phone... hence, the reason he is selling it.
the intermittent vibrations indicate that the app he is trying to open is force closing - or that something else in the background is force closing.
however, this should not freeze up the phone to the point of needing to pull the battery.

Any thoughts on a cause or solution or what might cause it if it happens w/no apps added?
Idk if it'll happen with no added apps just talking in hypotheticals now

i have no clue. it could be any number of things.
you said your friend "restored" the phone once, so maybe he messed up flashing his previous rom, or maybe he messed something up going back to stock.
i wouldn't buy the phone - as i said, this isn't a common issue, and i'm not sure how you'd figure out exactly what the issue is in your situation.
just find a brand new infuse for cheap (i guess they are $50 at target sometimes), especially with the sgsII coming out soon - i'd imagine you can find a pretty good deal if you look hard enough.

He has never rooted done anything to it... Totally stock

Try asking him for a 3 day trial run, then install any custom ROM n see if the issue comes up. If yes, restore stock n give it back to him. If it doesn't u have a good deal.

You said he 'restored' it. He's definitely done SOMETHING to it.
Personally, I wouldn't buy it.

Restored as in factory reset that's in the settings....that way his apps/pics/contacts are not on it...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda premium

that is some type of failure in the app...
when I have an app that does that I clear cache and data for that app, if that does not resolve the issue I uninstall and reinstall the app...
if that still doesn't fix it, I give up on that app

When its doing this... Is there an instant way to find out which app it is... He says there's no fc pop up on the screen

The that worked before i flashed to either Valhalla or Octane was Black Ice Voodoo from Krylon360

here is all i could find
http://androidforums.com/incredible...people-cant-hear-me-without-speakerphone.html
so what this states is that some have success with factory reset, and/or clearing the caches several times. or it could be an app, try simply simple rom.
could be an app, some say problem with head phone jack and suggest to clean "There was an issue with the headphone jack. Take a set of headphones (ear buds) and dip the plug into some alcohol. Slide the plug in and out of the jack several times. Wipe the plug and repeat."
'This happens to me when i unplug the headphones without exiting music player remix first. To fix, I restart the musicplayer, plug them in, exit the program, unplug.
The thread "stuck in headset mode" talks about the other variations of the problem."
or an app, like voice recorder is set on it to automatically turn on speaker phone.
so if still having problems after all this then its a hw problem, so fix go to t-mobile or put speaker phone on all the time by using voice recorder app. you have to look into how to do that. i hope i help some what.

Ok, I don't know if you have a voodoo kernel but I fixed mine by unchecking hi-fi recording in the voodoo control app. I guess it's a bug with voodoo on some kernels.

Mine does also after a few days of uptime. A restart fixes it for another few days.

Mine are not working properly, can't get any readings from them. Hardware is fine, checked the chipsets myself. I tried some fixes from others but nothing works correctly. I even ran the HTC RUU of ICS (From EU) and supposedly reset the phone back to 100% default....same ****. Something in the 3.32 firmware is killing the sensors and its happening with TONS of people I know on here EU and US also.
I regret unlocking the phone now :-(

Words with Friends on HTC One S is PAINFULLY slow

Has anyone tried playing Words With Friends on their new One S yet? It works, but as the title suggests, it's painfully slow when trying to return to the game from the ads after taking my turn (if there was a paid version I would buy it to avoid this). And it even tries to force close! I'm using the most recent version - 4.83.
Just curious if anyone else is having the same experience?
Thanks y'all.

It's probably an issue with the app on ICS rather than your specific model. I haven't played it yet on my phone but I remember even on my SGS2 it started to get annoyingly laggy!

Thanks unclespoon. I have to admit - I never considered for a moment that it was actually a problem with the One S. That phone RULES. I just wondered if others had a similar experience.
Hopefully it will get optimized for the One S and other ICS devices sometime soon.

It doesn't ever sort of stutter or time out on the way back in from the ads? Do you have the newest version of the app? Maybe I'll uninstall/reinstall?
Anyone else out there?

Try going to app info and clearing data/cache. Never seems to stutter at all for me.

Tried this. It's somewhat better, but not smooth. It was never perfect, but it didn't try to force close either. Got one more force close this AM after clearing the data/cache. Still stumped on this one.

I picked up the One S a few days ago...same issues for me, including the FC when it gets tired of waiting. Definitely not the phone--the phone is sick as hell. It was the one to finally knock my HD2 off its perch, and I haven't looked back yet (though I did keep the old girl as CM9 and ICS are still being developed at a nice clip for that device).

Couldn't agree more. It's definitely not the phone. The phone RULES! At everything except WWF, apparently.

I am still waiting for my 1s but playing on my sensation with ics I had the same issue making me believe it it's the OS not the phone

That's an interesting point that it might be that it's bad with ICS - not the phone itself (which rules).
Thanks!

Gizmoe's Stock Root v2 camera question

My camera makes a subtle "click" now when I open or close it, regardless of which camera app I'm using. Any idea what's causing that, or if it's dangerous in any way?

Do you know if it's coming from the speaker or the camera hardware. I don't hear a click on my phone so it could be the hardware itself coming lose. I turned on sound feedback to see if it clicked when opened and no sound either. Not sure what it could be. But if the camera is failing the worse that will happen is you will no longer have a camera. It's not dangerous in anyway I know of.

It doesn't do it on your vanilla stock, revolution hd, or cyanogen. As a matter of fact, after a restore, I just checked it, and it isn't doing it anymore. Weird. Maybe been a random glitch. I had to reboot several times to get the lock screen shortcuts you work. Not sure what was up with that.

Its not the Rom. It's your phone. Don't know what to tell ya.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app

If it were my phone, wouldn't it be doing it on other ROMs (it doesn't do it on your rooted stock)? And it's not coming from the speaker: I've isolated the click to the actual camera. Is there a way to remove or disable the camera upgrade and see if that's what my phone doesn't like here? Otherwise, the ROM is perfect. My fave so far: revolution 7.0.4 just doesn't "feel" as solid to me.

That's the thing there is nothing that I did to the camera. It's complete stock and your the only person out of over 500 downloads that has mentioned this. If it was an issue then I would be getting more than one report. I also am using the same version and hear no click. The only thing that may be the cause is the kernel I am using but I don't see how. If you want, flash the bd ace kernel and see if it still happens. It could be a combo of a failing camera and the kernel I'm using. I don't think your crazy I just think there is something unique happening here. Wish I could be more help but without the device in my hand I can only make guesses.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app

I'm gonna try redownloading your ROM, checking the md5 (is that necessary or just on radios?), in case I got a corrupted download first. Your work is awesome, believe me. I really like this ROM. I just noticed that click noise, but the camera works fine. If that doesn't work, I'll try the kernel you mentioned next. If all else fails, I'll take it down to vanilla stock. Thanks so much for your trouble.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app

Ok, so nothing made a difference. It only makes the noise about 50% of the time. I googled it, and could only find a couple of Android Central posts about the same problem. You're 100% right: IT ISN'T THE ROM. Mine now does it in stock too. However, the others who posted it happening stated it was either "normal" or "it isn't hurting anything. Camera works fine months later." That gives me relief. Sounds like it's probably just old age. Some moving part getting crusty or something. Cool. Thanks for your input, giz.
