Weird bug/problem with my phone (launcher pro?)

Ok so starting today I started having this weird problem with my phone freezing/stuttering/getting stuck between home screens and idk why it happens. Everything seems fine then when I swipe between my screens it kind gets stuck halfway between them and won't let me do anything to go to the next one. Locking the phone and unlocking it fixes the problem temporarily but it keeps happening.
Running gingerclone v2.0 (fully updated)
Launcher pro with 7 home screens with looping on
I havnt flashed anything since the 2nd update of gingerclone v2.0 so I don't know what caused it. I would take a screen shot but it happens randomly and when it does I can't go to open shootme cuz the screens won't move all the way to tap on anything. Any ideas guys?

i had the same problem. but i just reflash the rom..

So this is still happening every now and then :-/ I finally decided to say **** it and I Odined back to stock kg2 and it still happens so I called t-mobile and they said that it is a known issue that is software based and will hopefully be fixed in the next ota :-/

it happened only to when i had grease or sweat on it or when it was overloaded with apps being used

What did you overclock it too?

[Q] Phone Lagging Terribly when using Wi-Fi

Every time when I connect to a Wi-Fi network my phone starts to lag really bad. I've tried different Rom's and it seems to be a problem on all of them.
Anyone know a fix for that?
Thanks.

What do you mean by lag? Like your phone stalls and lag when opening/closing app drawer or scrolling app drawer and home screen? Or browser lagging?
I've never had this problem. But you can retry flashing the rom but before doing so wipe data/cache/davlik and format system.

I mean that it starts lagging overall. Everything I try to open it takes forever and sometimes it's so slow I can actually see some system animations frame by frame. I've the issue with stock software(no root) and after I've rooted. I sure hope it's not a hardware issue. Wi-Fi works it's just making my phone way slow and it's downloading via Wi-Fi...
Something else I've noticed-once in awhile when I try to turn of Wi-Fi it will say there is an error and it won't turn on-have to reboot the phone and then it works...but still would slow down my phone....

so if you're not on wi-fi the phone is fine?
What rom are you running currently, and stock kernel or no?

Yes it is fine otherwise.
I am running stock kernel on jboxer 2.3.4 colorized Rom.

Yes. I've replaced my phone once due to screen bleeding but my old had the same issue.
Yes it has been like that out of the box.

Has to be a hardware issue. Fresh out of the box shouldn't be like that.

Hmm, that is the third replacement and all of them had the issue out of the box....I guess I am just "lucky" then...:-(
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

The only thing you can try is a custom kernel on a different rom, as the 2.3.4 rom has no kernels besides the stock one. I doubt it though since it is like that from out of the box.

Thanks guys. I might try and ask for another replacement phone from T-Mobile then....sounds like hardware problem....

Are you out of the grace period?
Do you have insurance on your phone? If you have insurance you should have no problem getting it replace.
Good luck!

CM_Arcee's ICS Beta ROM Discussion Thread

I feel like it deserves its own thread in the General section as the other one mainly pertains to ICS development.
Anyways, my voice to text was working flawlessly at first but not anymore. Anyone else having the same problem?
And if you're still unsure about running it, here's a short vid on it and how it runs.

I haven't. What does it do when you try to send another one?

i get a weird problem that went im in the messenger app, if im typing in landscape and then go back to portrait the screen has a weird black overlay and I cant really see anything... it wont go away unless i restart the app... other than that stuff is running fine
Edit: I think this is a known problem because its an "android 4" app... he mentioned they would be glitchy

Its kind of strange, people can receive my messages but I won't get theirs when they reply. I've tried wiping cache and reflashing but it was still a problem.

Yeah hardware acceleration isn't really fully working yet since its just a hack at the moment. That's why apps that utilize it are still weird at the moment. But hopefully he is able to fix that in the near future.

Boot loop
I posted on General ICS thread before I saw this one, but I used G2x Scrubber and I have tried normal Factory Reset, and Than I flash CM9 and Gapps( for 4.0), but it gets stuck at the Lg screen and goes into bootloop... I can still get to recovery but I cant get CM9 to work any suggestions?

The only real issue I have is when I tap the screen, sometimes it'll act as if I'm holding down on where I tapped. Camera works for me now, but attempting to take picture make it not respond, asking me to force close. Still, it's good been good enough to use all day for me.

does gps work correctly??

Camera doesn't work, any suggestions? It will start up and take a picture but then freezes.

get the camera 360 app from the market. it works perfect for me.

GPS works. Not sure if it's more or less stable than Gingerbread though.

[REQUEST] Word With Friends ICS Fix

Seems that Words With Friends will freeze without FC on ICS. I've tried this on several ICS roms all with the same freezing result. Any ideas on a fix?

Its a problem with words with friends.....there is a lot of people running ICS and Honeycomb on different devices that are all having FC and other problems with it

If its freezing after every time you play a word, right after the ad, try pressing the lock button, then unlocking your phone. Its annoying, but it keeps it from freezing, for me at least.

I had this problem on superlite. After the ad, it would freeze with a black screen, and i'd have to close it with the task manager and re-open it.
Awkwardly enough, reflashing the ROM fixed my problem. this seemed to be repeateable cause it froze up on my when i tried smoothie as well. but a reflash fixed it there =\ not sure whats going on with words with friends.

Sorry I no longer play words with friends, but draw something doesn't freeze up on me. I have played it on both Team Perfection, and Sky ICS.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Did you try reflashing your rom as recommended by other responses in this thread? I have flashed almost every ics rom, some a number of times, and it always occurs. It is the only thing keeping me on GB roms now that Embryo has (almost completely) solved the ICS tethering issues on the skyrocket.
The only thing I can think of left to do is email Zynga and ask them to fix their app to make it compatible with ICS. However, I am running ICS on a TPrime and it has never occured, so can't be sure it is just ICS. And it appears that not every phone has this issue on ICS. However, do a search on XDA on "words with friends" freezes (put words with friends in quotes, then add freezes) and you will find a lot of posts on this topic for various phones, but it appears to occur most often on CM9 roms on various phones as well as ICS skyrocket roms.

Mine does this as well, and the app says there is an update, but when I go, it says my phone is not supported.

I was having this issue as well, and even though I hate doing it, I found a full words with friends w/ no ads apk and side loaded it.
Removing the ads fixed the freezing issue.
That is the only recommendation I can offer.

As someone mentioned, if you lock your screen right before the ad, that usually saves it from freezing as well.

I have the ad free (paid) version of WWF and it's still freezing up on me.

Does this still crash on the official ics release?

Yes.

LF3 base... That stinks

If you're on a custom rom, you might want to see if you have "ad blocking" or whatever that is where it blocks some ads from loading properly. I forget what exactly you need to do to fix it, but I remember I googled it and found a solution using root explorer (maybe deleting a file or altering it). It's at least worth a try

[Q] Rotate Lag

Has anyone noticed some super slow screen rotations? Also, on the home screen, are you able to auto rotate? My MoPho Q is acting funny after flashing some stock system images and updating(Mine freezes and reboot loops sometimes). If anyone has any issues with their screen having rotate lag please post here, thanks!

I havent experienced any of those issues... I have rooted deodexed and otherwise stock phone. Maybe try to reflash?

Thanks for replying. I have been reflashing stuff all day, nothing seems stable. Had phone up for 10 hours then started reboot looping. I formatted my sd card and did factory reset, tried 3 or 4 different ways of recovering everything so idk what else to do. I am just now re-rooting and trying deodexed, making backups every step of the way(beyond frustrated).

Wow that's no fun... how bad is the auto rotate lag? It takes mine about .2 seconds, not long but there is a slight delay. And the only way I can rotate the home screen is if I slide the keyboard out. I was looking into making my own ROM but didn't figure it out. I'm hoping for one soon, maybe that would fix for your problem too.

Just recently I've been having problems with my screen not rotating back after sliding out the keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't rotate at all. I'm just rooted with the latest update also. Don't know why this is happening.

I've had that a couple times, usually it goes away on its own. I tried turning rotation on/off, forcing it back to portrait mode using apps that only run in portrait, cycling lock screen on and off, finally it just started fixing it self after a reboot or time.

Haha, did exact same things. And you're right. Hasn't happened in awhile.

Just wanted to confirm that I have problems with this too. Sometimes I get tired of waiting to the point that I open the keyboard to force landscape mode.
