Random vibrations - Thunderbolt General

My tbolt started randomly vibrating at random intervals last night, no notifications present, no new applications. Wiped/reinstalled cm7 and reloaded apps with titanium but it is still doing it. Any ideas?

are you also on CM7? I have had this happen twice, and reboots fixed it both times. I am on CM7 and I noticed that ANY input caused it to vibrate (button or screen)

Mine does this too, it started recently, I thought I was loosing my mind.
Unrooted T-bolt.

You could always put it to good use.
Seriously though, I haven't experienced the issue yet, running CM7 for a couple days now.

That is correct, unrooted, stock rom.
That may change in the future though, especially with jcase's information.

Are you rooted? Running stock ROM?
I was having the same issue, pissed me off to no end. I finally gave up, disabled syncing for the stock app and downloaded gReader. It's way better than the stock app anyways.
I am glad I am not the only one. I am running stock

Gingerbread

I would like to go back to ginger bread has anyone who hasn't switched bricked recently?

When I first read about the bricks I switched back to froyo, I stayed on it for less than 72 hours before I switched back to gb. So far my experience has been great not a single random reboot and everything works as it should. I'm more hesitant of messing with system files as I normally would be but I think I can hold off tweeking if the trade off is a complete gb sense experience.

I don't see any problem with switching back, since the intiial bricks (3-5 people?), I haven't heard of anyone else bricking.
Just be sure to wear your tinfoil hat when flashing.
I don't think there have been many (or any) bricks since the announcement
I'm running CM7 gingerbread just to be safe. Ill switch back when the dev who originally posted the warning says we are good to go back.

In your opinion is cm7 tolerable for a daily? I've been wanting to make the jump but have been hesitant.

Yes. Call volume is a tad bit low (not a problem for me but may be for some people who are hard of hearing, or work/live in a noisy area). Absolutely no problems with 3G and 4G works by just switching from 4G to 3G, getting a strong signal, then switching back.

It works plenty well enough to use daily. The battery life wasn't great for me. since being on Das Bamf 2.0-5 I've really started to like the new Sense bits so I couldn't go back to CM7. Plus the battery seems to last forever on 2.0-5. If my phone takes a dump I guess I'll at least be able contribute a broken phone to the crew trying to figure out the problem.

From what I've read, you'd lose 4G, which is a deal-breaker for me.
I'm waiting for the next leak of Gingerbread before going back.

You don't lose 4G. I have had a constant 4G connection for almost 42 hours. The only time you may "Lose" it is when rebooting but all you have to do is switch to 3G and back.

I'm not sure where you've read it doesn't work. I've used CM7 in a 4g area and it worked fine. Some may have had problems with 4g not working or hand offs between 4g-3g but for the most part it works.
Yep 4g working fine with 223 radio for me with CM7.

CM7 is fine. 4G handoffs are fine, everything works fine so far. Haven't found any issues yet. Only small annoyance is after I get off a phone call, the screen wont respond to anything unless I lock the phone and unlock it again. But that only seems to happen if the other person hangs up first.

[Poll] Are you experiencing clock issues?

Hello all,
I started experiencing a strange problem a couple of days ago. When I set my clock to "automatic" time, my time jumps ahead 7 hours. Since then, I have found several people on IRC who are experiencing the same problem with this phone.
As of now, it is unclear whether the problem is caused by AT&T or Samsung, but I can tell you that the issue appears to be occurring regardless of what rom individuals are running.
So, the question; are you experiencing the clock issue?
CheesyNuts just made a thread about this, so there are other having this issue.
I being one of them, but i just set the time myself and its been ok.

Darn we posted it at the same time. Mine's got a poll though
Nope no problem here.
Yup, I had to manually set it this morning. I thought it might have something to do with the flash-a-holic fit I had earlier this morning tho. ;-)
Yes I am in mountain time zone and mine was 6 hours ahead but i went back to stock and factory reset from there and it fixed could of been a coincidence i'm not sure had came from the I997UCKI3 beta has worked fine since the factory reset running simply honey

Phone shutting off during the night.

So, I've got this annoying issue where my phone decides to randomly shut off in the middle of the night while charging. Well, of course it turns back on, but to the battery charging screen. The problem is, I need my alarm, and for two days now I've woken up late due to this. I'm on stock Froyo, UCKH1. Rooted and CMWed. Does anyone know what could be causing it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
My thought on this is that the phone could be crashing from something. Check what apps you have running. Have you ever noticed your phone reset during the day.

It's not a bad phone. It's something software related clearly, but I've done stock recovery. I feel the next update will fix a lot of things, including issues not everyone has, so I'll just wait it out and get a real alarm.
EDIT: One of the biggest issues I've seen with this phone is that the Froyo it shipped with was kind of half-assed. I mean, it functions, yeah, it works, but does it work like it should? Not really. The Froyo on this phone is buggier than a picnic taken over by ants.

My wife has been having the same problem with her captivate.

[Q] Text Messaging problems

I'm having a problem sending text messages. wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I can receive fine. I can send on WiFi or 2g, not "4g". Curious Picture messages send fine on all networks.
I have used several ROMs along the way. I have a good list of nandroid backups from various back to stock. Restoring any and all exhibits the same.
Tech support thinks it may be a service issue in my area. My son has a myTouch 4g and has no problems texting.
Anyone have an idea?
Is this with the stock messaging app?

Have you tried a hard reboot? Hold volume up + power til your phone reboots. It doesn't delete anything but it. It fixes connection issues for me most of the time.
Good thought. Tried and no go. Interestingly I turned data off and, text messages send. Went to the t-mo store. They guy there took a look at it. He pulled my SIM and put it in their demo unit. My SIM works on their phone. He says "I can get you a replacement but I need to do a factory reset" Sure go ahead. I could tells this guys was a by the numbers guy. I told him sure, then I remembered I'm running Weapons the "weapons" splash and I figured, I'm done. No, he didn't notice. New phone on the way. So I guess I need to revert to stock unrooted when I get the new one.

Lol glad it worked out. Still have to wonder why they won't send ...
It is bothering me. I think I've reformatted everything from within recovery. Flashed a fresh version of Weapons, restored from a very old nandroid, rooted 2.2.2
Just another thing to make me nuts.
I have this issue now as well only on 4g... I went to another rom and all was well the problem came back I haven't downloading anything out of the ordinary so I haven't the slightest clue on why this is happening... gonna revert back to stock if the problem persist.

My Problems began Saturday night, I believe after I flashed back from jboxer's Experimental http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330911

I also tried the experimental, not sure why it would cause these issues after a full/complete wipe and restore of rom's that I've had no issues with at all when it comes to receiving/sending sms/mms.
did you revert back to a OTA stock, and stock recovery, no root at all? That is my last option which will be tonight probably...
I found a nandroid OTA and restored that. That was stock, unrooted. Then I flashed back the stock recovery.
I flashed several roms prior with no luck. Like I mentioned, perhaps the lg updater would fix what is missing?

I can confirm the same thing happening to me on Weapon and stock GB. Messages will send fine on EDGE and wifi perfectly, but it's hit and miss on 4G.
