Haykuro's HTC Sapphire/Vodaphone Magic Port - Known Issues

I am listing the known issues with Haykuro's magnificent magic port here as the original threads are getting too large for people to find stuff.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR FAULT REPORTING ONLY - NOT QUESTIONS, NOT PRAISE FOR HAYKURO (THOUGH HE DESERVES IT) NOT INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL. JUST FAULT REPORTING
OK shouting over, on with the list.
I will add any reported problems to the master list in the next post.

ok on the current build (the zip file known as real-signed.zip)
Missing
Android Market
Google Talk
Google Maps
G-Mail App (although G-mail available in Mail App).
YouTube App
Pdf Reader
Also backgrounds and ringtones have been removed by Haykuro to get the build size down.
Japanese support (may have been removed to get build size down).
Not working
Bluetooth
Wifi
autorotate and hardware keyboard closure support.
headphone port does not shut off speaker or play through headphones when they are plugged in.
Buggy
Video and camera are inverted and also colour on mine seems scrambled as if Red, Green & Blue values are switched.
(i have added a couple of pics below to show this - please note I rotated the camera pic for ease of vewing.
Some ALT keyboard combinations do not produce the correct on screen results. (Does someone want to do a definative list?)
Music Widget

As far as I'm aware, autorotate just doesn't work (ie: It's disabled).
also:
Headphones don't work.
Music widget is buggy
Chinese settings are still there (is it difficult to remove all traces, more an aesthetic thing really)
Hardware keyboard has wrong alt settings (Should be an easy fix, probably just a file needs replacing)

YouTube player missing
Closing the keyboard doesn't rotate screen back

Thanks guys - added.

PDFReader is missing as well

Asking for an update every 20 minutes (which doesn't do anything to my phone, and it still asks for an update)

sorry can you clarify that, I ussume you are talking about the bootloader upgrade. You have tried this and it makes no changes and you still get the update notification.
Do i have that right. As i have been turning it down all day.

On the G1, connecting an auxiliary cable through a mini usb would allow you to play music in the car. Now, connecting the cable does nothing and music continues to play through the phone.

- random restarts / reboots
- long lag on boot screen / htc splash x2 for it to load home screen
- contact icons not showing up on favorite tabs
and this is random but really really COOL
when your calling a friend as it rings and rings, your phone VIBRATES when the other person picks up which i thought was cool lol.
if i find any other bugs i'll report good job guys

Bad news folks. So far Hello AIM, Hello IM and Paringo won't install

i dont know if this is a new change but when you hit the volume key the lowest it goes to vibrate, no way to put on silent unless you hold the red button. it isn't that big of a deal but thought i might mention.

Meebo works fine though

Shazam does not work...the website does not recognize the phone. I have not tried pushing it though will try later on and see. wifi tether installs just fine..of course wifi does not work as of now so cannot try it out.

Some applications that worked on 1.1 no longer work on 1.5.
e.g. fastbright, dxtop
Others won't install
e.g. moviefinder

The OS is very finicky now.
A few things I was able to find:
1.)Music Player widget sometimes will not update, and must be removed and readded.
2.)If you play music and sign into Gmail through the new mail program, and hit 'refresh' it sometimes crashes the phone sending it into a constant reboot loop.
3.)Reboot loop still present if phone crashes.
4.)Cannot install google apps using apkinstaller etc.
5.)Probably one of the most important for me personally... JAPANESE TEXT not included like it was in JF/T-Mo brews. Just shows the squares.
6.)As everyone knows, no WiFi/Bluetooth.

A couple of more things I've found:
1. browser bold font is fuzzy and not crisp, unlike rc33.
2. browser scrolling and panning is overall faster than rc33, but some sites like google reader actually scroll slower than rc33. So the browser seems to be still quite buggy.

Maybe add a part to this thread for the 4.5 release?

[Q] HTC Sense Startup Duration

Hey guys,
So basically I do have a hell of a lot of apps and stuff install, and I was wondering, what's a decent about of time for HTC Sense to finish loading?
It take probably 3 mins from when I press the power button to when I can start moving around on the phone.
Is there a way to maybe decrease the time spent on the splash screen (not the animated one, I have a a cool gif and sound for that, but for the screen that follows)
I don't particularly mind that much coz at the end of the day its just 3/4 mins and then I'm on my way but I've been in such a tweaking mood the past few weeks with my HD2 I just keep wanting to make it perfect!
I noticed when I upgraded from Energy's 9th may to 13th may with the same maybe a few more mods installed, the duration of the "launching HTC Sense" has gone down by a minute or so.
Oh and also, I have extensvely checked the forums around for this but it seems all there is, is changing the ink shortcuts but that's not what I want. When I press the end end, it coz up with the quicklist, then I have to click turn off and then the slidetoshutdown comes up. I want to go straight to the sidetoshutdown screen and skip the quick list. I've tried changing the end key in settings>personal>buttons but still nothing
EDIT 19/5/10:
Seems to have found a fix, deleted all my emails and sense now loads in 20 seconds or so. My emails and messages are stored on my SD card via relocation in Pocket Mechanic, maybe keeping them on the device resolves the issue, haven't tested.

Bump please

Sometimes it jungs hangs. Touch the screen if it gets stuck and it should come back just fine.
There's no need to wait until it remembers where it's supposed to be.

It doesn't hang randomly at all, it's just takes a longish time to load when i start up my phone

Maybe have a look in \Windows\Startup\ Maybe with so many installed apps and games this folder is full of shortcuts to let the apps start on startup for quicker access. Cleaning some out of heren maybe makes the phone faster. good luck!

Fair enough, you don't mind the wait, and I understand (it's not as if you restart your phone every 10 minutes!)
But, there's definitely something doing something. I've got plenty of software on mine, and from power off and pressing the power button, right up to a completely loaded and stutter-free Sense, it takes just over a minute (I just timed it at 1:02).

For the end key leading to the slide to shutdown automatically, search the energy thread, I honestly can't remember exactly where it was, but a member posted a fix for it...the same guy that posted the Home button fix, the music player, etc.

Same here.
It's Sense that takes a huge time to completely load. Appears quickly, but veeeery slow and laggy for one or two minutes. Same when i only relaunch Sense, not only after a reboot.
Don't have much in the startup folder, a lot of tabs deactivated (music, docs, footprints, ebboks, twitter, facebook etc), but still...
And even after a fresh flash - with different roms from different cooks.
It does that too when i unplug the phone from a usb connection with my computer - but not if it was connected in activesync mode.
--edit--
just thought of something while typing this. i tried with no sc-card in: way way much faster.
so basically, Sense is scanning my whole 16gb card when it starts?...

Wow I actually cracked it,
I spent like a good hour or so experimenting around with everything possible from apps, to addons to random registry fixes I made. NONE of them did anything.
My sense now loads in 20 seconds flat.
How?
I deleted all my emails... lol
I think it is an SC card issue, because basically I have all me emails and messages stored onto my SD card (made the relocation via pocket mechanic)
Everytime I reflashed new roms, I install me apps games and whatever first, restart and its fine. I import my PIM backup stuff last and then it goes slow, I never really picked up on it because I'm usually finding other random cabs I forgot to install and add them at the same time, leading me to think its those that slow it down. But no, its all the emails, which I suppose makes sense seeing I have a couple of thousand stored.
Hopefully this will work for you guys, move/delete you emails from your SD card! Or it could well be an SD card issue in general.

[Q] Sky ICS GS3 Music Player Issue

I listened to my music on the Sky ICS GS3 music player fine on my way home yesterday and when I went to listen to my playlist today nothing would play. The timer woould sit at 0 no matter where it was in the song. After a little bit I went to All Songs and I noticed that each song had a second copy. A song would show up as 2 files that were seemingly identical except the first file was blank as I described above, while the second was normal and intact. All the music in playlists were the blank copied versions though. Has anyone else had this happen or know how this could of happened so it doesn't happen again? Should I remove all music from my SD and reload?

Why wouldn't you try that? Gotta start somewhere, ya know...
Dump your music, open the app, see what you have left. Research and dump whatever's left.
Reload music to SD via Windows. See what you have in the app.
Rinse/repeat till you figure it out.
Worst case scenario, you need to wipe your phone and reload the rom. I've had crap left over on my emmc that caused oddball issues on the next flash. Gallery finding every album cover, wifi drops, etc..
Can say the latest ICS works perfectly after a full wipe and reload. Redid my TB backups too.

[Q] LG MyTouch Q CM9 freezing problems

First of all, thanks to chui101 and all the other people here who put in the effort to get CyanogenMod to run on this phone. However, I'm having a bit of a problem with my phone slowing down severely and becoming unresponsive, usually at the lock screen. The specific issue is that the lock screen will be on screen, but not respond to button presses, or respond very slowly, and then it will do the "old CRT television turning off" effect much much slower than it's supposed to (think close to a minute), go blank for a while, the lock screen comes back up, another very slow screen turn off effect, and the whole process keeps repeating until I get tired of it and pull the battery to reboot the phone. This issue happens to me with both the 2012-11-21 and 2012-11-25 nightlies. To me, the behavior sort of seems like an out of memory issue, maybe some program is leaking memory or something.
Things that cause the freezing issue:
Power button presses too close together
2 cases of a call coming in while the phone is locked and playing music in Apollo
Things I've tried thus far:
Switch launcher from Trebuchet to NovaLauncher
Set Background Process Limit from "Standard Limit" to "At most 3 processes"
Set "Force GPU rendering"
Remove SD card
Out of those, pulling the SD card is the only one that seemed to help. The SD card I had installed was a 16GB SanDisk Class 2 card with ~3.7 GB of music along with less than 10MB of small text files, ring tones in .wav format, pictures, etc.
I put the 2GB card that originally came in the phone back in, this card currently has nothing but the text files and ringtones and a few pictures.
Is anyone else getting hit with this problem? What can I do to help? I don't know much about android ROM development, but I can handle collecting a LogCat from a case where the problem I'm describing is happening and know a reasonable amount about general Linux stuff, just not Android internals.
Thanks!

I used to own an LG Mytouch Q, the only reason I'm even remotely interested in this thread.
However, you should definitely post in that specific thread, as it's basically the only group of Mytouch owners and they should give you lots more help

I would, but I just joined here so I can't post in the dev forums. I'm hoping someone there will see this post.

Update
With the smaller SD card without all the music files installed, I'm getting less of the freezing problem, although I am not certain whether this is due to the music files not being there, or me not using the phone to play music. I guess the next part of this experiment is to go back to the card with the music files on it but not play any of them. I did grab a LogCat from one of the cases where the phone is 'freezing' and see a bunch of "Application Not Responding" messages, and the CPU usage stats that follow these messages indicate that most of the CPU time is being used by 'iowait,' for instance "100% TOTAL: 0.3% user + 6.9% kernel + 92% iowait". I've read some threads relating to other phones indicating that this could be some process poking around somewhere in storage. I'm thinking that running top from adb shell next time the phone ends up in this state might give some clue as to what's eating the CPU.
Also, I've hit the issue with email message bodies showing up blank that others on this phone, and on CM9 on the non-keyboard LG Mytouch (E739) have experienced.

Hope I'm not spamming with yet another status update, but I tried disabling live wallpapers (going instead to no wallpaper/black screen) last night, and I haven't had any of the freezing problems today. I'll try adding the music files back and see if the problems return then.
* Update 11/29/2012
I put the 16GB card with ~4GB of music back in the phone, used it all day at work for listening to music/checking email/some web browsing without any crashes. (Still with live wallpaper disabled) So, I'm starting to think live wallpapers are causing my problem.

Strange moto G3 touchscreen response problem

Hi all, I did a search with no luck, so hopefully this is a valid question!
I have a weird problem with my moto G3 2015 and was hoping you guys wouldn't mind reading about and possibly offering some kind of advice if it's not too much trouble.
Every so often, I'd say at least once a day, the screen becomes unusable until I press the power button a couple of times (to turn the screen off and on again). Even when I do this quick fix, the problem comes back very shortly afterwards. It only goes away after 10 minutes or so, or if I get annoyed and put my phone away. I thought this was a hardware issue but don't believe that now due to the following:
1. It is a different problem depending on the app I am using. In facebook, scrolling is no longer smooth, and doesn't continue scrolling if I flick down the feed. It only scrolls down while my finger is actually on the screen. I am also unable to actually 'click' on anything, only scroll. In Brave (my browser) it acts as if I've just double tapped the screen, as in if I move my finger down it zooms in, and if up then it zooms out. In snapchat when watching a friend's story it acts as if I've held down on the screen in order to forward their snap to somebody else, and then it doesn't respond at all to any touch.
2. The 3 buttons at the bottom are always functional no matter what
3. If the problem begins when I'm in an app, if I go to my home screen, I am able to navigate my home screen and app drawer with no problems. It's as if the problem is contained within the apps.
This started a few months ago while I was running the copy of android that the phone came with. I put on lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170629-nightly-osprey-signed) and pico gapps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170629). This seemed to fix the problem for a while but then it started again a week or so in.
The fact that the problem is only happening while I am in the apps, and disappears when I exit out of them makes me think it can't be a hardware issue? I am also no expert with phones or android, but am somewhat experienced in rooting and playing with settings etc. (I'm not sure if it happens in other apps I'm afraid, I can test if need be next time it happens).
Thanks so much for any help, and please let me know if there is any more info I can give you!
P.s. The new ROM is much better than the old one.! The battery definitely drains faster though, but that's a whole other problem

That is actually typical behavior on older devices using as many social media apps as you're using. Especially Facebook and Messenger if you're also using it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache when this happens?

Thanks for replying!
When I flashed lineage OS I believe I wiped the cache. I will do it again though to see if it helps.

Yeah, you wipe cache when you flashed, or at least you should have.

Hi there
If the issue was software related, a change of rom should have solved it.
If the issue is kernel related, all users must face the same issue...but that is still not the case.
So This might be an issue with the screen being old. When the power consumption fluctuates, lcd screens can misbehave.
