has anyone had a issue where the capacitive home and search buttons no longer function? i tried rebooting the phone and when the phone was rebooting it said system checking on the bottom of the screen while the LG logo was showing i never saw this b4. has anyone experienced this?
Did you do the deopt patch?
yea i was downloading a good about of gameloft games on to my phone and now have about 800 something mb of internal phone memory and sd card memory don't know if that triggered anything!
strange and now i have no lockscreen!
probably out of room to run specific functions. WAY TO GO!
Try formatting your phone.
rebooted and now back to normal! really strange i did reboot with the quickboot app b4 this issue came up!

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with the my XT720 and hopefully someone can help, or has at least seen something similar. When the phone goes unused for a minute and the screen times out, I can not get it to come back on as expected. If I press the power button, the lights under the four buttons power on, but the screen stays off, and both the screen and buttons don't respond to being touched (ie no noise, no feedback, nothing). If I hold the power button down, it will not stop or start, and I have to do a battery pull (the phone has not been rooted). If I press the power button to lock the phone manually, it can come back to life, but not after a timeout.
This started happening when I replaced the sd card that was included with a new one. I've had occasional issues where it will decide that I don't have an sd card inserted (also fixed by a few battery pulls), so I figured time to get a new / faster sd card. The new one has worked fine in my PC to store data, but once I put it in the phone, this happens.
If I switch back to the old sd card, the screen problem goes away. I've tried formatting the sd card from the phone (as well as from my pc), and it doesn't help.
Any ideas or input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
I had a similar unpredictable problem. I'm not sure what the core of the problem is but sometimes I suspected the SD-card as you did.
Sometimes the phone didn't show up the display even after a battery pull out. The thing that always helped in MY case was to pull out the battery for 1 hour and the problem disappeared for 1-2 months...
Hope this will help.
did you in anyway modify your phone? that includes rooting etc
i had this problem before but it stopped after i cleared my davik cache and it re populated the directory after i rebooted it. worse case scenario, you might want to try reflashing it.
I've not modified it at all. No rooting, no flashing, nothing. And I'm not keen to reflash it as it's from Wind in Canada, and there is no Wind rom posted. I know others are compatible, but I suspect it would make it harder to get warranty service if it has a BrightPoint rom on it (though I guess I should check the build number and see if it's the same).
I (occasionally) have the same problem. I, on the other hand, have had this issue since I bought the phone back in August of 2010. My phone is rooted, sometimes overclocked, and running standard android 2.1update1. What happens to my phone is that it is in lock mode and I press the lock button and all that happens is the 4 buttons below the screen illuminate but the screen itself does not. To solve it, I do a battery pull and it is back to normal. I don't know specifically what causes it because apparently this problem is also happening in unrooted XT720's. BTW I have never changed my SD card from the 8GB one that came with the phone.
I hate to hear about this issue but I'm glad I'm not the only one having it. I just got my XT711 a few days ago and the screen has done the same thing a few times to me also. I know 1-2 times I just picked up my phone and it did it, another time was when my camera froze, and once even when I paused Angry Birds game until the screen shut off, that time when I pushed the lock/ power button the 4 bottom lights came on and I could here the sounds from my game but my screen was blank. Hasn't done it in a couple of days, so hopefully it just had the flu! If anyone finds out what it is, let me know also because I've seen people with all models of XT phones having it.
Try another SD Card
Thank you, yes I have a new class 10 sd card ordered, so hopefully that cures the problem
Hi all,
I recently tried changing the wallpaper on my phone from a live background to regular image. The background went black and the phone froze.
I removed the battery and restarted the phone but it now often freezes on the LG logo. When it does occasionally start up the touch screen will not respond so I cannot get past my lock pattern. If I press the stand by button at the top of the phone, the screen goes off and cannot be turned on again, but the phone is still running - as I can tell this when connected to the computer.
I don't have my phone rooted and do not know much about that. I was hoping there was a way to fix this without having to lose all of my data or root/mod my phone. Otherwise I would be happy just to have my phone working.
Can anyone please help with this problem or tell me why the touch screen will not respond the times it does start up?
Cheers
UPDATE - I started the phone holding the volume button down and went into the recovery mode. I'm not sure exactly which option I then selected, as I hit the home key a couple of times, but I think it was "Clear cache and recovery" or something similar.
The phone managed to start back up with all my apps and photos, etc. Although I had to go through the startup wizard again and sign into the Market, LG World, etc.
Now I have a problem with quite a few of my apps. Whenever I click on them, they start very briefly and then I get the message "The application had stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and have to force close. This happens with apps such as Adobe Reader, GTA 3 and Viber, so it's not a specific type of app.
I also noticed with the few apps that work, data is missing from some and not others. For example, I still have high scores in one game, but not in another.
Does anyone know what the problem is here or why this recovery is maybe causing this?
Thanks very much
Still haven't fixed this problem if anyone could please help. Most of the apps before the recovery still force close upon starting.
Some of these can be fixed temporarily by moving to phone/SD depending on location, but this only lasts for so long, before I have to move again. Others will open up each time as though it's the first opening of the app, e.g. Do you accept....
Apps downloaded after the recovery seem to work fine.
Any suggestions people?
Hi dear community!
Got a problem with the power button of my a510. Sometimes when the device is in standby and I want to switch it on by pressing the power button nothing happens and rest totally unresponsive. I have to push it like 10-20 times and even connect the charger to get reaction. Once the device is switched on the power button works normal. I suppose its some kind of freezing of the device in standby mode that blocks the power button. Is it a common problem and what can I do? Thanks in advance for advise!
First thing I would try is to reboot it (press power button for a few second and let it shut down, then restart it). If this is not helping I would hardreset it (reset hole left to power/usb-connector).
And if not this is making it better make a factory reset (from the settings). Keep in mind that you will loose all data and have to start from scratch with your tablet.
Thanks! One question though, do the hardreset from the hole left to power/usb-connector do the same thing as factory reset from the settings - loosing all the data?

Nope. The pinhole reset thingee is similar to the reset button on a CPU. It simply hard reboots the system (supposedly used when the device freezes, since we can't "pull the battery" like what we do with phones).
Reading through your OP though, I actually recommend sending the tablet back to the shop. I don't have that, nor have I heard of that issue.
I don't have this problem, you'd better send it to service.
I think I found the problem wnen seeing the log from the device. It's a freezing situation. The device become unresponsive and that's why the power button doesnt work when pressed. After second long press it reboots the device. So the button works.
In one of those freezings console says: Unsafe JavaScript attenmp to access frame with URL.. So I disabled java in the stock browser and will keep reading log for further freezes.
hi i was getting that issue.
a factory reset stopped it but recently it came back.
im overseas for 2 months asking acer the immeditaely said to return device for repair.
have to wait now.
Also jist the other day i got three freezes screen went pink completely.
once it went yellow.
i would sugest talk to acer as i know mine now is def faulty after the screen issue.
Hi,
so I realized that a couple of days after buying the thing I disabled some of the apps that comes with it in order to save some RAM, but maybe disabling them causes other apps to misbehave. And thats why sometimes device freezes compleatly. Now I'm checking this theory. Sorry for my English.
What did you use to disable them?
From settings - > apps, then choose a system app and there is a option to disable it.
Another thing. So I'm playing a lot and when some game suddenly stop responding I force closing it. Even this game is already closed after like 10-15min. the device freezes and only rebooting it saves the situation.

I disabled alot of stock apps as well. My tab is running fine though. You can maybe list down what you've disabled and I'll confirm if they're disabled on mine too?
Couple of days observation lead me to the conclusion that the freezing is due to unresponding processes left in the memory most likely a high demanding 3d games such Dead trigger, Asphalt 7 or Dark knight.
Edit:
It might be a bad freezing flash player mostly used through stock browser.
i tried this way too..but it freezes also when it's fresh from a hard reset
i don't know if it's an app issue...or whatever.
but i just got a new a510 as replacement of my old one that kept freezing...and also this replacement keeps freezing
i didn0t disable any native app...nor installed any new app. just got it...and freezes the same.
When watching flash video in stock browser and when exit watching, the browser sometimes freezes and needs to be force closed to function again. When left whitout force closing it eventually after some time causes general freeze. That's happening also when a game crashes and left in memory that way. Needs to force close everything that crashes. For example when watching HD Cams in Earthcam.com often browser crashes when closing it or when I play Tower Defense game crashes a lot. Afterwards the whole system freezes.
That's my assumption as above all monitoring I've done.
Let's hope Acer will have fix in Jelly Bean update.
in the newer firmwares are freezes still found? i noticed that all my italian friends stuck with 1044 experience them...maybe later ones solve it?
There is no new firmware, but will be most likely.
there are lots of ota after 1.044 ww.
germany is at 1.099 stock....
i'd like to hear something from who uses it ...
Hello guys!
I've a funny problem with my tablet that is a Mediacom Smartpad 722i based on AML8726-M3.
When it is doing nothing, sometimes when i wakeup it, it remains locked on a black screen and i've to wait that it's battery is discharged or i've to put the charge connector and it wakeup.
When it wakeup and is unlocked or at the next reboot, the system data is on 02/01/1970 O.O and for 1-2 minutes it was very slowly.
I noticed that when it is on black screen, on the side of the touchscreen where is the CPU, the screen is hot and from the speakers the tablet put out some noice.
For this, i think when it is locked on black screen, it is doing something and for this the side of CPU is hot.
I think it is a problem of the stock ROM, the stock ROM is a 4.0.4 ICS.
Other users of other tablets resolved this problem with Clocksync, but in this case it was useless.
What do you think? How i can solve this problem?
The stock rom on the tablet is the last update from Mediacom.
Thanks
Anyone can help me?
This happens sometimes with all devices it is either an app or the system freezing wile the cpu is under a heavy load. When you press your power button dose the screen come on with a black glow or stay completely off. I would suggest doing a factory reset and check for any updates, or even better custom rom. I would suggest you dont use any restore features after your reset as this could restore the cause of the problem. I would suggest going on your computer to the play store installing all the apps you want remotely. Its faster atleast for me to scroll threw the website and set all my favorite apps to install then trying to scroll threw the store on my phone wile its slow from downloading apps.
I dont have your device but I have had a few tabs. There may be a reset button some where or try holding all the buttons for 15 seconds to restart your tab when it is frozen like this.
Hope This Helped
I am also interested in me you solved?
Hey friends,
I got a problem.
As first my K1 (nonLTE) is stock and not rooted.

Wiping whole device and putting it to factory state usually fixes everything. Regarding data recovery, before wiping you can use Helium app, it can backup apps with their data (make backup on SD card, not on internal storage). After wipe / restore, just install Helium again and restore all apps you want.
okay thanks, i`ll try it tomorrow
