Lockscreen Response FIX!

So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button

I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.

I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)

Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

I posted this on another thread but I noticed that if you swipe really fast on one screen, without moving between home screens, it will always spin.
Just swipe really fast.

tried this fix and didnt work

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

No it does not. Not on mine. Yours will get worse untill that doesnt work for you either.

Thank you for this.

Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.

yeah man thats sucks the first thing i did its to see if i have the lg cam on gb but its not there

Wait, is there no camera at all or is it just that the LG camera app is not there? This may make me think twice about installing the update.

I registered just to ask this question, but do you mean that if I updated with the new Gingerbread update and did a factory reset then the LG Camera would be there?

No there is NO LG Camera app. Even after you do factory reset.

If some one would make a backup of the camera app and then post the apk that would be great

It really frosts my rear when I go to the T-mobile website and I see they are showing the new Mytouch 4g Slide with the "most advanced camera on any smartphone." And here I am with arguably the worst camera available on any smartphone (the AOSP GB camera, not the LG froyo camera).
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that they have something in the works to provide us with the proper camera some point in the not-too-far future.

Get camera 360 from the market
Sent from a guy living in a van down by the river

I am waiting for the jury on this, is there a way to keep the phone LG photo app.....or put it back....after doing the GB update.
One guy said it comes back after a hard reset after the update....but others say that is a no go.
I want to avoid buying an app for the camera function, which I will need to do if its going to be just the stock Android.
Seems LG could release an update to replace it....no?
Right now the consensus seems to be if you do the GB update you lose the LG camera app, and it does not come back by doing hard resets.
TIA

I actulice and I still see the camera application.

Yes, you lose the LG camera application; that doesn't mean that there is no camera application. It's just not the one that came stock with the phone, and it's not as nice. For example, there's no "switch camera" button -- you can only take photos and videos with the rear-facing camera, not the front-facing camera.
I'm not a very big user of the camera, so I imagine this one will probably be sufficient for my needs until the final update comes out.

I wouldn't count on LG releasing an update for that. They didn't even ever release an update to fix the small email signature bug, so I doubt they'll get around to a whole camera app.
The only good thing that comes out of this is the stock Android camera does 128K audio vs. the 64K audio of the LG camera. Oh, and we can finally keep the geolocation turned on instead of needing to manually turn it on every time. Same maximum qualities otherwise, but almost no control over anything else and the zoom is not controlled with the volume controls.

if you dont like it and if it's possible please phandroid back to what you were using before. we finally get SOMETHING, proof of LIFE on this thing so please...quit your *****ing all will be well. lg does seem to intend to right their wrong.
I will be avoiding threads with titles such as this one like the plague because although I was one to be disgruntled too over this phone I at least can recognize progress when I see it

Oops, my bad; that mountain icon in the lower left is the "switch camera" button. That graphic just didn't communicate to me at all; I assumed it was the control for "focus mode" or some such. Sorry for the noise.

anyone know how to make the gb camera screen lighter? mine is so dark. I do love the update and I have had no problems what so ever. But the dark camera screen.

See if this works, no guarantees:

[REQ]Extended Power Menu

I've seen many roms with extended power menus including the ability to reboot into normal, recovery, download, etc modes. I'd like to see something like this on the O3D/Thrill.
Any dev's out there wanna give this a shot?

BUMP: Anyone want to at least point me in the correct direction for framework, i can do the work myself, bit of a learning curve but why not become a dev right?

I've been trying fervently.
I can get the phone to boot, but when pulling up the Power Menu, it soft reboots.

What are you using as a base for the framework? I'm considering using gingebread for the o2x, but i'm not sure if this particular piece is processor dependent. I'm a newbie but I do believe that since every other phone has it why can't ours.
This phone is great it just lacks LG's / development support. Acura and Thaiz are doing a great job though, I'm just thinking if we can contribute something that would make their roms that much better.

Screen shot for lg Optimus sol? (e730)

Hello, as you can see, I have an LG Optimus sol. Before you continue reading, I would like you to click on this link : forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/60483-romstockharshginger-v32/
That, is the harsh ginger rom, edited stock rom. It is a good rom, but that's not the point. The point is... If you go through the awesome things the rom has, it has a screen shot function ( home + power button), which I doesn't have right now.
Yes. Can I request any one who is a developer, to tell me, how to get that function? If you do, I will love you forever. And ever.
P.s. Please don't tell me to download some sort ta stupid app in the play Store, which need either the stupid button floating on my screen, or some stupid "shake to screenshot" crap. Thanks.

Screen Capture Without Rooting!

hey all!
Well after a long while searching for any screen capture app that works without rooting the phone.
I finally found something & just wanted to share the experience:
It's called "Screen Capture Shortcut Free" (there's also a paid versions with couple of extra features, but I ONLY tried the free version so far)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.tomorrowkey.android.screencaptureshortcutfree
NOTE that the developer says it's tested on "Galaxy S" "Galaxy Tab" & "Galaxy S II" -- so it might NOT be compatible with all phones or Android versions. But you won't lose anything to give it a try if you need a screen capture app and you don't want to root the phone like me!!
Fortunately it working perfectly on my Ace Plus with the default Android 2.3.6!!
Hope that helps

You don't need any app for that! Just press home + power and you're done.
