Keyboard randomly freezes on DHD ROMs!

I have had no major problems with my Inspire 4G while on Inspire 4G ROMs (well... Stock, rooted stock, and Inspired Ace which is customized for the inspire.) On every DHD ROM I have installed, there seems to be a problem with touch input. When typing emails, searches, SMS, and other things random keys will just stop working! Sometimes I can tap them repeatedly and fix it while others you have to exit whatever app you are in and open it back up. It gets really annoying.
I am currently on CoreDroid, but have had this problem with TB Fusion, RCMixHD, and RCMix3D as well. Since Inspired Ace worked fine I tried flashing its HTC_IME.apk to see if this fixed the problem. It didn't. I seem to be the only one with these problems on the Inspire. Has anyone else noticed? Does anyone have any suggestions for what could cause these issues?
(Yes, I am aware of the problems flashing ime packages from other ROMs can cause, I was just trying to see if it fixed the problem. I had to backup zip ready to flash in case it caused FC problems...)
Thanks in advance guys!

I'm using leedroid and I have the same problems of random keys not working at random times.

It's a driver issue with inspires iirc. No fix

Wait so there is no possibility of ripping the drivers from stock and flashing or getting a kernel with them? And how come it worked on Inspired Ace? Did gtg465x get the driver issue fixed? Not trying to sound angry there just a bit perplexed since IA was dhd based....

Might be hardware than, I do remember it being brought up and it's unfixable.. I've had it happen on factory stock plenty of times. I just change my screen to horizontal and fixes it.

Hmm... Well mine never did that. Only failed to rotate a few times due to a few malfunctioning third party apps... If i find a fix I will post it.

I've had this as well and thought that maybe it was Better Keyboard having an issue with either the Inspire in general, or CoreDroid. So this is happening to others using the stock keyboard. Glad it's not just me.

No you aren't alone... I consulted gtg465x and he only edited a few things in /system/customize so I flashed the IA /system/customize/default.xml and it seems to have greatly improved. Noticed one of those such lags but it is not the one out of every hundred that it was. I typed this a few other things multiple sms one of which was long and only had to tap one key multiple times to get it to work. And only three taps at that!
If I further test it I will ask gtg for his permission and post the default.xml in a flashable zip.
Now all that is left to do is edit build.prop to make my phone say inspire not dhd then flash from mdj v21 to 23, calibrate battery for this ROM (grr... Coredroid updates wiped my battery stats while it was only at 63 percent charge during install) and then I can finally be happy and leave my phone exactly how it is! Yeah that will last all of what? A week maybe? Haha nah I am happy on coredroid!

I've had this happen to me on multiple ROM's and it always seems to be the "e" key that stops working for me. I just restart my phone or change input methods and it usually fixes it for a while.
Wish there was a permanant fix cause it does get annoying.

According to my research, editing the build.prop file on Sense ROMS doesn't directly reflect what is listed in About Phone. It seems that you have to edit default.xml in /system/custom/CID.... before installing the ROM

Yeah I read the same thing.right after i posted that... Oh well! Maybe when I get bored enough to do it. And after further testing i concluded that changing the default.xml to disable some of the keyboard layouts and things as gtg465x did didn't really help all that much... On the bright side, i may just go back to inspired ace and use uot kitchen to customize it
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

So nobody has any other potential fixes for these freezes? Has it happened on every ROM you guys have used or what? I tried replacing my customize folder with the one from ia with cut down keyboard languages and layouts but no luck. Maybe we can find a fix!
EDIT: There may appear to be some confusion here. The problem in reference is not that the keyboard fails to rotate, gets stuck in landscape, or shows that a message is being typed and nothing appears on screen. The problem I am having here is that certain keys in random order at completely random times do not work but the keys around them do. This results in messages such as "Hey that bnd sunded relly gd" instead of "Hey that band sounded really good!!!" because the A and O ceased to function and likewise the exclamation point which is with the A. Also, at times the key will show it is being pressed but stops registering before the symbol it relates to is pressed. These problems exist on stock android keyboard and on sense keyboard. Hopefully someone will find a fix in drivers or something otherwise we will have to wait for a cracked official OTA GB update if that ever happens as they say it will...

BTT
I´m having the same issue, and it´s driving me crazy!!!
It´s weird, because I´ve had this phone for months, and had no problems, until a week ago.
I´m on Stock ROM BTW.

no solution? this is an on going problem and hard to ignore...

I have to agree with everyone here.. It is a pretty glaring flaw in the Inspire. And many people think that it barely happens.. But it is a problem that occurs for me at least 5 times a day and that is not an exaggeration. Everything that I have been reading does say that this is an impossible thing to fix.. Just a bit frustrating. Does anyone have a way that lessens this from occurring?

ive had this problem also for awhile. ive had it on every custom rom that i can think of. i used coredroid and cm7 for awhile. right now im using miui. ive tried 3-4 different keyboard at least, and had this problem with all of them. the keyboards accuracy also seems to decline. when switching to a new keyboard the problem initially goes away, but it eventually starts doing it again with the different keyboard.

finally! thanks you, guys. Finally I get support for a bug that supposedly didn't exist. I have been out of the rooting and ROM flashing game for a few months, as I got a new Inspire and never got the chance to root it. I finally caught a break from school work and got fed up with having to do battery pulls on the ATT stock ROM (terribly made, I must say. Sense froze daily.) I rooted and flashed the trusty old Inspired Ace and what do you know? flawless. as always. I flash the new coredroid 8.1 to see if the keyboard bug still persisted. For the first day, I had no problems. Then the freezes came back. I think it is very possibly a side effect of the undervolt kernel. As for those that say all phones are not created equally, and my processor just can't take the ROM, is that really likely on two phones in a row while the inspired ace ROM works flawlessly?
Edit: Also, for those that say stick to IA if it works, it hasn't been updated in a long long time and never will be since GTG465x moved to the Captivate

It's not that people don't beleive you, its just that this is not a common enough bug for it to be a software issue. It has to be a specific hardware malfunction. I have never had this problem on any Rom configuration that I have used. I have never seen it as a reported bug either.
Sent from my Inspire 4G Using XDA Premium

Good point... It just still doesn't make since since one DHD ROM didn't do it all yet others do. Coredroid I is not doing it nearly as severely cd6 did. So maybe there is hope that it is a fluke combination of hardware and software bugs rarely manifested.

Bump
Well, in preparation for android 4 I decided to get used to AOSP ROMs since they will probably be more widely available than ICS Sense ROMs. After using cm7.1 for just two days, the bug is still there. Note that this is a different inspire than the thread was started on. Does anyone have any solutions? It just makes no sense that this bug does not occur for me on Inspired Ace or Stock but does on every other GB Rom I have tested. For everyone reading this with the urge to pop a comment at me like "Stupid, stick with IA if it works," that ROM has been abandoned since May 5, so it is outdated. Any hopes for ICS roms solving the problem?
Keyboard app is not the problem. Does it on touch input (sense ROMs), swiftkey X, swype, and android default keyboard.

MT4G

Hey guys, I have a chance to switch out my MT4G for a G2x through insurance.
I know the spec difference, my only concern is how CM7 and MIUI run on the G2x?
CM7 and MIUI both run perfectly on the MT4G, so was worried that it won't be as good on the G2x.
Main concerns are if it has any GPS and or.wifi problems?
Anyways, any response would be greatly appreciated!

Both work great on it in my experiences miui runs smmoth as butter but mom's pictures come in and send out low quality pictures. And wifi calling doesn't work. CM7 is awesome especially with the new 7.101 update.

Both of those ROM's work and run awesome on the G2x. Although if you were to flash a ROM, i would definitely go with CM7. MiUi still has its problems....CM7 on the other hand, is very close to perfection!
Although, all phones are different...some could have running problems and some never do. I guess this what i like most about my G2x, i learn something new about the phone everyday. Lol.
But this phone is virtually, BULLETPROOF. (just like a 4G63 or 4B11 )

Kinda...some phones might be worst than others. Other know Hardware problems are the Random reboots and freezes. But a custom ROM should be able to fix any hardware imperfection.

i went from a mt4g to a g2x through insurance too and its the best decision i ever made it only has 1 issue, screen bleeding but it doesnt make a difference at all unless you put full brightness in a dark room thats when youll notice it or when you look from an angle and i only use miui for the g2x its perfect

+1 I did the exact same thing and if I had to do it all over again, I would. I've been running eaglesblood for a while but started running CM7.1 the other day with no flaws. I don't even notice any screen bleed on my phone but my brightness is set low. Every G2x is different from the next.

I use MIUI also. Works awesome except wifi on the latest build is iffy. Seems to not have problems at home but my work router seems to keep dropping and it's on my damn desk.
Wifi calling also doesnt work on MIUI.
CM7 I think is all good.
Little Bugs are still being nailed down but nothing to worry over.

A few phones from the earlier batches (including mine, which has now been replaced with insurance... damn tile floors) had issues with the HDMI out causing the battery to short out when you plugged in an HDMI cable. The most logical explanation was bad soldering, but the issue was never common enough to make it to T-Mo's known issues.
Several people's phones got fried (there's a really old thread about it in this forum I believe), while in mine I just had to get a new battery. Doubt it would be an issue, but you can never know too little.

G2X Discussion Thread (CM Nightly issues, ICS updates, etc.)

Well everyone, since my KANG thread in the development section has become a discussion thread since official CM nightlies started again, I've decided to redirect the discussion to here. I'm going to ask the thread in the development section to be closed, so it can stop taking up space there...instead we'll take up space here! Lol. But anyways I want this to basically be a continuation of the old thread...you can talk about your G2X questions, comments, problems, etc. here. This will be especially geared toward CM-related problems, but all G2X-related topics are welcome here I hope that everyone will continue to help each other out, and of course I'll monitor the thread to help as much as I can and research things if necessary. Enjoy!

This isn't necessarily CM-related but I guess it is in a way. I have been trying out EB's build 1 of ICS and honestly for the most part it works great already. The only big glaring issue (that actually made me revert back to Gingerbread today) was the incoming call problem I've seen reported elsewhere that when you try to answer a call, your ringtone restarts and it doesn't appear to actually pick up.
As for the G2X in general, I'm a firm believer that most common issues have been strictly software-based, which makes the resources we have here on XDA something like miracle workers if you think about it.

Quick question, if I am already running Arcee's ICS ROM would I need to do a full wipe and loose the way I have my phone configured or can I just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash on top of Arcee's??

As it is always said, it is best to do a full wipe. You never know what issues may stick behind or get caused by not doing a full wipe, but give it a shot and report back and hopefully you don't have issues.

CM Nightly 226/Unnamed & Kernels
Recently transitioned back to CM from MIUI. Anyone try out the newest 226 (unnamed) Nightly yet? I'm still rocking the CM7.1.0.1 Stable, but for kernel flashing purposes, I'm trying to decide on a nightly.
I've used Faux123's UV/OC kernels, but seem to have lost my copy of his v0.4.3 (long term CM7.1.0.1 support). So, the newest v0.4.8 and T15 or ELF Trinity's won't work with mine. I know chip's vary, but mine seems to not like even the ELF Trinity kernel (which has worked for a few peeps running CM7.1.0.1).
Anyway, the breakdown of my ramblings are:
1. Anyone try CM Nightly 226/Unnamed?
2. Anyone happen to have a copy of Faux123's v0.4.3 kernel (CM Battery Version, not the DS driver) lying around? Or a compatible Trinity (preferred, actually)?
Eh, I know #2 is more wishful thinking. I'm mostly interested in anyone's experience with Nightly 226/Unnamed.
Ah, good to be back on XDA and CM, at that. I rolled on MIUI for way too long. Nice GUI & the customization was awesome, but man is that sucker a memory hog! Not to mention the random reboots and screen freezes... I should have never left my good ol' CM. Hindsight and all...

The only issue that I ran into with cm7/cm9 is the low microphone. I know this has been brought up in the past, but has been ignored as well. Some users claimed that it only happen to certain phone, but I'm almost certain that the issue lies within the rom. I do hope someone can shed some lights on this, cause i do miss using CM7.

long story short, i have a wiped g2x. power button is a ***** to turn on to the point that my finger tips are sore from trying to get it to boot into recovery since last night. i can only seem to get 2 different screens trying to do this:
a) the lg boot animation which promtly freezes as the phone has been wiped & i probably haven't held the volume down button
b) the s/w screen used for flashing a recovery, etc
the phone is not mine but trying to help someone out. is there a timing to releasing the buttons? seems that when it goes to the s/w screen, lg appears for only about a second and then straight to that one. any help would be appreciated.
edit: posted it here only because i'd been following the old thread which led me to this one. i was trying to update to the latest while this happened. i started a similar thread in q&a so if it doesn't belong i''ll remove it, thanks

I've been in a loop like this before. Make sure you have done a battery pull. I think the key is not to hold the volume down button so long, and then be patient for recovery to load, it takes longer than expected in this situation.
Good luck.

I agree, this is by far the most annoying bug and the only "show stopper" I can think of on CM7. I do not think it's a 'phone-by-phone' thing, because if I flash to stock or Weapon G2X, my mic volume is fine. It's only on CM/CM-based ROMs, such as MIUI. I can't count the number of times where people have told me to "speak up" until I'm practically yelling into my phone. I think there's a bug with noise cancellation that causes it to be quieter than it should be.

How to upgrade the LG G2x P999 to Android 4.1.1 JB via CyanogenMod 10 (Unofficial)

Hi All!
Recently, while surfing through the ocean of ROMs for my LG G2X P999, I came across this ROM. Couldn't find any link related to this on XDA. So thought of pointing the G2X owners to this link:
http://www.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536/
Flashed it just yesterday. Apart from the Video-recording did not notice any bugs so far. In fact I haven't used it enough to comment on bugs. But I can confirm that Calls and Wifi are both working fine.
If any one knows any prior publication of this work on XDA; please let me know so we can avoid duplicates.

I tried a couple different versions of CM7 over the past few days, and its nothing but a nightmare. It will run flawlessly for hours and then something quirky will happen and I either cant get data, or cant make calls, or my screen locks up, and im rebooting the phone or looking for a fix on google. Wound up just going back to the stock rom with faux123 kernel.

Well the problem is that other developers take the vanilla cm7 code and tweak/mod the hell out of it which is always awesome but they put out an unstable build/ROM. If you haven't tried vanilla CM7.2 from get.cm (latest build) then you're missing out. I have had the ROM installed running with mazout's latest kernel for over a week now and its been running extremely well. All and any problems that I experienced with this setup were directly due to ignorance and human error as I'm still a flaming n00b. At the same time they were great learning experiences and easily fixed.

The problem is going to lie in your setup somewhere.
Maybe kernel level as it is known that some G2xs will run great on Trinity but crash on Faux and vice versa. That's just a quick example.
I've run vanilla CM7 for like 13 months now and do not encounter the issues you are describing.
Soooo...what's your setup.

You are late to the party... This device is a dying device. There's 1 dev working on a CM7 Kernel and that's about it. More than likely we will never see fully working 4.1.1 or higher on our device. They tried real hard and are some talented people (our devs), but LG handed them a broken pile of excrement and said, "here you go... Jellybeans!!"...

That's almost all true! I have another old phone, Mytouch4g/HTC Glacier. On that one I am running 4.2.2 and there is a lot of development still on. Huge number of ROMs which can be used as daily drivers. But here we don't even have a perfectly working 4.0.4. But again, no complain to Developers. they have tried really hard with a lot of time invested in this device. All the blame on LG.
This phone is lightning fast on 2.3.X variants. still very much usable. I may be late to the party, but the party is yet not over

I just want to chime in that I used this and the phone is working. The camera seems slower (and therefore more blurry). Other than that everything that I use (I do not use bluetooth, tethering, or wi-fi calling) is working. It's about the same speed as CM7 I had on here before. Don't know about battery since I only just did it.
If anyone knows any tricks for the camera please share. I babysit a toddler and his face is often blurry in photos. I'm pretty sure with this new ROM it will be even more blurred. I have already removed the plastic cover over the camera lens, it's not that issue. This is clearly software as it has gotten slower with this ROM.

We thought we might have a jellybean breakthrough when cm started deving cm10.1 on the p990 and had the courtesy of posting a half port of their work in progress. I believe it's called AdamPK's cm10.1 and is usually found with Mazout360 kernel. Hardware Acceleration Work so no camera, camcorder, sluggish or other problems that plagued the hackfests but they ran into and issue with the radio because O2x and G2x use different radio chips. So you have wifi but no data and battery can't be read correctly but other than that it would be as close to a perfect 4.x as we could get.

My thoughts on my Optimus 3D P920

Well, I've been using this phone for 6 months now, I got it as a brand new phone. Maybe some of you interested in this, so let me point out the pros and cons here. Also, the point of this thread is to find a solutions to the mentioned _problems_ :angel:
Cons.
ICS is a battery and RAM hog. Sometimes I have the feeling that it's like running Windows 7 on a Pentium 3 with 512MB RAM. It's working but not as _fluid_ as Windows 98 on the same machine. Battery performed much much better on Froyo.
I heard there was a ghost call issue with GB ROMs. Never used GB on my P920.
Again, ICS. Since I am on the new OS I think I have to push the screen a bit more agressively. On Froyo I barely had to touch the screen and the phone responded very well. Not on ICS.
On Froyo with the same device the GPS lock were about 2-10 minutes. Such a joke.
Pros.
On ICS, I can get a GPS lock in 10-15 seconds. That is awesome. But still, battery drains much faster.
Finally I can use apps that require Android 4.0+ but I've been okay with Froyo.
Well, what do you think? I'm not saying that ICS is a bad os, but I beleive now that this handset is just way too underpowered to run ICS smoothly.
I also run into another issue, please refer to this thread.
Another question would be, how can I downgrade to a stable GB ROM (a rom without ghost calls) from the current ICS? Look, fellas. I'm not that techy guy but I can deal with it following a tutorial or something. But there are so many around here and can't decide which one to follow and the last thing I want to do is brick my phone. I'm kinda looking for a ROM where all the bloatware vanished from it
Appreciate your input, and sorry for the crappy layout and explanations, I'm not native when it comes to english
Take care!

Almost all GB Basebands have ghost call problems.
It's baseband related not ROM.
In v21e it occurred less frequently so people got the idea that it's not present. It is.
You have to flash an ICS baseband to get rid of the ghost call problem. I don't know if it's compatible with a ginger ROM.
I suggest giving cyanogenmod a crack , in either dual-boot or otherwise.
It's the fastest ROM there is but 3d and wireless hotspot doesn't work. I don't use those really.
It has nothing to do with the handset , the stock ROM is poorly made is all.

Be warned that ICS does had the ghost problem issue too.
I have thoroughly tested it and found it to happen on several occasions.

Ouch. Thanks for the heads up! Any chance to get back to a custom Froyo maybe? The phone was really fast with that OS, and I don't see much benefits running ICS on the P920.

I have not had this happen in Texas on v30A or v30C basebands.

I've tested it using both 30A and 30C basebands. Either on stock and non-stock ROMs.
I'm absolutely sure about this as I did the tests myself in front of my own eyes.
This also applies to ghost SMS, both sent and received.
SMS reported as sent were never delivered and I missed some received SMS too, checked from few different friends.

Hmm, dunno then. I've had some callers with the wrong number, but I have definitely had no SMS issues, except when I wad on 'ported ICS' from SU760, and that was only a character limit and no picture messages. Once official LG ICS for P920 came out, those bugs were killed.
If you used LG update tool, well that's another matter.

No v30c baseband doesn't have ghost calls. I thoroughly tested it.
Maybe the one you tested is v28b beta?

Well, happened me today. A friend of mine called me three times - and not a single notification on my phne. This is definitely no good. Guys, any chance to downgrade to Froyo? It was working just fine for me, but I can't find a guide or software anywhere.

As far as I know, this is the best solution for all your programs.
This special build got absolutely no serious bugs so you will enjoy it.

Thanks for the heads up. Downloading the files now, will post an update to there if I'm stuck. Anyways, what caused that the GPS lock took forever on Froyo? It's still super fast on ICS, even in offline mode. It's a crucial question for me, I like to geocache sometimes and it comes really handy

Try to set your ntp pool server in accordance to your location.
That'll speed it up.
If it doesn't fix it , i think it's simply a problem with froyo roms.
There's just no way i'm gonna use froyo now that i had a taste of vanilla android with cyanogenmod.
I'm selling this already , will go for nexus 4 or galaxy s4 i think.
