my friends unit phone is on 2.2.1 rooted, he said someone tried to put gb on for him and failed...long story short, when he puts apps to his homescreens and powers off, they are gone and only in the app tray. he cant get anything to stick to homescreens..
any thoughts
thanks
Tell him to try this:

Or he can try doing a factory reset in the privacy menu in setting s that worked for me.

FWIW you can factory reset the G2x by holding down power and volume down when the phone is off. It happens if let go when you see the android update screen. Not really anything new or important I just thought I'd share

I found this out by accident yesterday. I was trying to go to recovery screen like I did on Vibrant.
exactly how i found out too
So I just bought an infuse from a Guy off craigslist and it works flawlessly except one thing. The led will not shut off when I try to use any camera app. I've checked the flash option is set to off.

So I figured it out. If I set the flash to on and take a pic, the flash shuts off and just flashes brighter then shuts off again until u hit the shutter button. But it I go to preview then hit back its on again. Is it a software glitch?

That's how it is intended to work. When set to on, it stays on permanent unless you are in review mode or out of app. Set it on auto mode, unless you want to force flash on. Auto mode turns it on when focussing and while taking a picture. Rest of the time its off.

So there's no way to take a picture without flash?

you're not up to date, att doesn't seem to host the update in all areas or for a very long time. the latest is uckh1
ok flashlight apps can make the led act all kinds of weird, I would uninstall all camera apps and all flashlight app and do a factory reset then update to uckh1 through Odin/heimdall, see if the problem persists and if so send it to Samsung. the flash should only be on for focus and for taking the shot in either auto or on mode. there is also an off mode. I keep it off and use night mode if I need to. the flash sux and I consider it a downgrade from the captivate which had no flash to mess up your photos. ok extra features are rarely a downgrade unless they are to cover up poor software or hardware but led flashes suck and people need to learn not to use them.
I downloaded the update via att servers. Issue still present. Hitting the off mode doesn't do anything. Only way to take pics without flash is to select on for the flash take a pic then the flash shuts off and then I hit the off mode and it stays off. Weird?
Which leaves to me believe that its a software bug. So ill try a reflash with that one unbick/ back to stock software .

I recently flashed weapon g2x rom. Everything was cool til I woke my phone and tried unlocking it but the screen was unresponsive. I do a battery pull phone starts up up and screen is fine. Screen goes to sleep so I wake it up and try sliding to unlock but its unresponsive. Please help. BTW I am not putting any blame on weapon rom Dev team.

Did you properly wipe before you flashed the ROM? Is this happening on a clean install? (No apps)?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Followed the install instructions verbatim. BTW I was stock GB before flashing. Happened before I dloaded any apps. Now it freezes when making calls. When I take the phone away from mg ear the screen is unresponsive.

You might have a defective device. Does it tend to get hot whenever it locks up? How long have you had this issue for?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Flashed the rom 3 days ago and issue started today. Had this phone for 3 months. Doesn't get hot or even noticeably warm. I got the go locker app with ics lockscreen. After i wake it up its unresponsive for about 30 seconds then the backlight dims and becomes responsive again. Weird. Maybe restore back to froyo(nandroid)? Thanks for your replies.

Try reformatting your phone, then flash again
Reformat? You mean wipe everything? Through cwm?

Yep that is what he means. If you were on Froyo you may need to do the update and get the current Baseband.
Okay I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks guys

Hey this may sound silly but if it's only the lockscreen not responding and you stating you are using the ics lockscreen, did you try with the default lockscreen to rule that out first?

Not silly at all. I tried the original lockscreen that came with weapon rom. I would wake the phone with no response but with go locker LS the screen responds after 30 seconds of unresponsiveness. Its weird but I don't think its a hardware issue. I'll post back after I restore back to Froyo. Thanks again guys
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yeah i agree, don't think it's a hardware issue. Restoring back or trying another rom would be a good test. Another question..are you using setcpu or any other app with a screen off profile?
Edit: Went back to read all the symptoms again and i had a similar situation and it was because my phone could not handle the lower voltages on the min freq with a few kernels. Morfic upped the lower freq voltage on his kernel and it has been working perfectly since. Worth a try.
Try this one: ELPmax 20122011 (1.1GHz Battery Saver w/ voodoo sound)
Tried flashing kernel and phone froze on Trinity load screen. Restored to nandroid but no luck. Updated to stock GB but no luck. I'm starting to think might be a problem with proximity/ light sensor cause of how the phone freezes up after I pull the phone away from my face after a call. Guess I'll send it to Texas for warranty repair.
Thanks to those that tried helping.

Did you format the "system" before flashing the new rom? Weapon works with no issues for me. I would stay away from custom kernels for now, until you have isolated the issue.
I would suggest backing up your user apps using titanium backup and installing them one by one to find the issue. Let the phone run a while between installing each app. Maybe even reboot each time. Also try fix permissions.
I know nothing about Go Locker, but is sounds like that is a good place to start.

Hey, guys. I've been having an issue for quite some time where my screen turns completely back and my phone freezes up. The only way to fix this is to do a live battery pull. It happens at least once a day. Not rooted. Running official ICS ROM. Can anyone help? I appreciate it.

was it like that b4 the update
you can do a factory reset too see if that helps but you will lose all your apps you have install and your settings, back them up first.
if its still the same looks like warranty repair
By chance, does this happen during a call or right after?

What apps have you opened prior to the black screen

Sounds like sleep of death or whatever it's called, tho I didn't have it for ages. I'd agree with the factory reset to see if the issue is resolved.
So I recently received my new replacement infuse (under warranty) with gingerbread 2.3.6 already installed. I like to try to make my battery last as long as possible so I installed juice defender which will disable my hspa when my phone in is idle. However, I started to notice a problem. When I turn on my phone to use, my hspa will not active. So I thought the app is the problem and uninstalled it so my hspa will active. This was not the case. Still, with juice defender not installed, my data will not active. I have tried powering my phone off then restarting it, pulling the battery, and even pulling my sim card, and turning on air plane mode then turning it off, but nothing will work. What should I try next?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Easiest thing to try first is wipe data, cache, and dalvik and re-flash your rom.
Right now on this infuse, I am not rooted, therefore no custom rom. Just simple stock gingerbread.
Are you suggesting a factory reset?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yes, that should work.
Just out of curiosity, what causes my data to deactivate? I did do a factory reset and my hspa is now working. But for the future, what should I do so this doesn't happen again?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I don't have a textbook answer. I am sure Juice Defender is a good ap but I tend to avoid aps like that and do not ever use a task killer. A lot of it is just trial and error. You are on the right track because you want to learn... your own unique experience will be a great teacher. Regards

I noticed similar issues with JD back in 2011. One of the reasons I stopped using it.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
My guess would be that whatever juice defender did would have to be undone before it was uninstalled.
1) factory reset
2) don't install juice defender
3) root phone
4) flash JellyBean ROM
Oh.. and make sure you follow directions in the original post
