Hi all, been lurking for a while but thought I would finally post up.
Having an issue with my Nexus S on stock ROM v2.3.3. It isn't the same issues with the keyboard disappearing etc but it is an issue with the keyboard not inputting text when I type.
If I am typing a SMS reply to someone on my phone and I pause for a few seconds (to talk to someone for example) then I try to continue typing, the keyboard acts like its typing but does not actually type anything else into the message. The only fix I have managed to discover is exit the SMS so that a draft gets saved then once I go back into the message it works again.
Don't know if that is a clear enough description but if anyone else has any suggestions or even a fix for it then it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Yeah I have that too sometimes. What also happens to me about every week is, that the smiley sections' and the (particularly important for me since I'm from Austria and using the German keyboard ü-ö-ä) special buttons and symbols' pop up extension (hard to describe, but I mean the thing that pops up when you put your finger on the expandable tile for like 2 second and which let's you select the unusual symbols from a list) simply will not pop up. So it would make it impossible for me to choose from the pre-created smileys etc.
I have found out that changing your input method to another keyboard (I use SwiftKey in these cases) and then changing it back Android keyboard make the problems disappear. But they seem to come back regularly and I haven't found out what causes them to appear...
Any help?
For example: I hit alt in order to type the "<3" button, but then have to hit alt two more times to be able to continue typing normally - it gets stuck in an alt mode.
Any way to fix this in future rom's or outside of the rom's? It is driving me crazy and basically makes the special buttons (heart, smilies, etc) worthless because it ends up being MORE keystrokes than just typing the individual characters themselves.
I had notice that before, it was quite annoying. Question. Are you on kd1 or kg2? Cause i just tried it again (i know it happened on the <3 before) and now the alt doesnt stick anymore. I am now on the dedoxed+bali but basically stock kg2. The issue I noticed on stock kd1.
I'm using the GingerClose AOSP Rom... but kernel says Bali, baseband KD1
[Sorry, despite that I've hacked, rooted and installed a billion roms on this device and others... I'm still a little clueless sometimes ]
Gingerclone v2 is KD1, let me check it out, I'll report back shortly, and should be able to fix super quick if it doesn't do that in stock KG2.
You might be my hero!
If you do find out a difference you need to port over from kg2, please let me know in detail, as im looking to mod the corresponding feature
Chaostic, can you confirm for sure that this was fixed in KG2? I can't seem to find anything in the system that would lead me to believe that, but if you can test it and tell me that it's been fixed in KG2, then I'd at least have a point of reference, otherwise I'd have to just rewrite the fix.
I can say is fixed. Tried multiple apps, and none leave the alt key enabled after using alt+r, or e or w. Even with changing the character map that i did, on kd1/full odexed stock, pressing alt, then r, produced <3 but left alt enabled. Now on kg2 deodexed+bali, it does not have that issue. I never lft full odex kg2 on the phone to test.
Could be one of the undisclosed bugfixes between kd1 and kg2. Like the pressing back+home bypassing the lock screen apparently?
Haha well there wasn't really a bug list from KG2 ever released.
So I changed the framework to remap the entries for the smiley button to remove the hyphen noses that frustrated me endlessly, but that didn't fix the smiley buttons, so it looks like those may be somewhere in the kernel. I'll look to see what got fixed between the KD1 and KG2 kernels.
EDIT: rechecked Samsung's opensource.samsung.com source site, and found that they did upload the source for the KG2 update, I'll compare the two to see where the fix lies.
NOTE: This is a list of bugs for STOCK (NON-MODDED) ICS 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 (LC4, LD2, and LE2) (Most bugs from the initial LC4 leak fixed after the two major version leak updates) from DesignGears.
If you have flashed to ANY OTHER CUSTOM ICS 4.0 ROM, PLEASE WRITE IN THE DEVELOPERS' / ROM thread.
1 - 03/26/2012: When selecting "Contacts to Display" and selecting CUSTOMIZE LIST > Selecting ONLY Google Contacts (EXCLUDE G+).
Then you start typing someone's name, it returns contacts in SIM card and on Google contacts.
2 - 03/26/2012: Autocorrect on the included "Android Keyboard" doesn't work by pressing spacebar.....like it had been in previous 2.3.6. Even when changing setting to VERY AGGRESSIVE. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
3 - 03/26/2012 [CONFIRMED] When deleting a message thread, the phone will freeze and turn into a blank screen (except notification bar) then the messaging app will close. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
4 - 03/26/2012: [CONFIRMED] When using the "PHONE" icon to bring up dialer, contacts tab is no longer associated in it.
5 - 03/27/2012: 50/50 Users report more sensitivity on the touch screen, some report lack of sensitivity of touch.

However, deleting or creating a contact while logged in on a full web browser will push it back to the phone via sync. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51

11 - 04/15/2012: [CONFIRMED] When adjusting ringtone level in SETTINGS > SOUNDS, the ringtone level will not lower or raise; it stays at one level.
FIX: Adjust via volume rocker while in any other system screen (Home, MMS, etc) BUT NOT IN-APP. *Thanks petrochemicals!*
Here's what I found and posted in another thread...
So far so good except a few things:
1) I hate the fact that "contacts" are no longer visible in the dialer. Now I need another icon that I rarely use. The only option appears to hit menu and select contacts from there.
2) The "power off" and "restart" options in the extended power menu (hold power button down) seem to lock up and freeze whenever I try to use one of these thus requiring a battery pull. Anyone else experiencing this?
3) Can't use built in hotspot tethering anymore. This is something that I use with my tablet often. Any solutions other than a 3rd party app? If not, what app is everyone using for hotspot tethering?
4) Why in the world don't the signal bars turn green once fully connected? It's driving me crazy because normally that means its not connected to your Google account. This is the first time I've seen this (of MANY different Android phones). - This appears to be an ATT thing as other carriers and phones change the signal bars color when its connected to your google account (as it always should be).
Grey bars, works for for me; turning green = same color as battery = confusion to some it is acting as a double icon of ur battery? lol
I don't get a freeze in the menu.... I'm assuming you're talking about the built-in menu not a modded one? I just use the one that came with the ICS.
Hotspot tethering, you'll have to wait for a dev to mod that unless you are wanting an app for it.
I can tell you that I got my portable hotspot to work. It gave me numerous error messages though when I first went to set it up and the screen freezes when I turn it on. I went back to home and back to the hotspot settings and the toggle remained on. I changed the default password to all 9s bc I was getting an invalid password error. After that, I connected my old iPhone to the Skyrocket wi-fi.
I used to use Barnicle Wi-fi tether but it doesn't work now. Is there a difference between the stock portable wi-fi hotspot program on the phone and Barnicle? Im just curious if Barnicle masked the fact that the user was tethering.

Yes, I'm referring to the built in power menu. I fixed permissions in CWM and still no go. Any ideas???
I find the keyboard to be a bit slow on the responsive side. Anyone else running into that or am I just trying to type too fast?
Perform a Factory data / reset?
I find the new keyboard fairly responsive vs the old one; I just thought i typed too fast for the old one lol. This one actually keeps up and Swype keyboard tapping works more fluent as well.
good job guys, keep up the troubleshooting so hopefully some devs will cook up a nice rom

I'll give that a spin. I did that once already to fix my home button problem, so I'll try and do another. But yea I use to use the ICS keyboard from the market on GB, and that was quick enough for me.
stuff I notice so far
I did notice the contact tab missing from dialer. The menu selected one doesn't allow right and left swipe for call/text. In the contacts app, the swipe works ok.
the only real problem for me, thus far, is when deleting SMS threads; messaging force closes.
Anyone else have that?
BTW thanks for starting this thread, wasn't sure where to post bugs - I think this may be usefull to keep them all in one spot.
Getting some odd behavior from Rom Mngr
Aside from other errors I got, when I ask ROM Mngr. to perform a task, I get a bunch of errors like "Messaging has failed," "Internet has failed," "com.google.xx" has failed. But then it goes and performs the request.
However! Whereas on 2.3.6 UCLA3, when requesting a backup via ROM Mngr., it would go straight to the backup whereas now, it goes into CWM and I still have to select Backup from the option there.
Deleting threads freezes my messaging also.

Noticed a new one.
Not getting pictures with messages now, too.
Nvm. Damn - I hate bug posts. They come, they go.
The only thing I've noticed so far is I don't seem to get LTE in my house anymore. Boo...
I'm having issues with audio files. I can't use either Google Play Music, Samsung Music Player or Doubletwist to play audio. It creates duplicates which I believe corrupt the file itself.

I get it too, but there is no need for a battery pull if it freezes during a restart.
Press and hold the power button and the phone will restart after a few seconds.
It's a leak, not an official release, so I fully expected bugs.
Face unlock crashes a lot for me.
It fails o power on the camera and then the keypad doesn't respond for PIN input.
Requires a reboot.

Did you do a complete ext4 wipe / format prior to ODIN ONE CLICK ?
Run factory data reset, then fix permissions and then reboot. Face unlock works perfect and pin input works.

Yep.
Face unlock does work... just not all the time.
have you done "improve facial recognition " if so how many additional pictures did you take?
Facial unlock is perfect for me. No problems whatsoever.

Sorry for opening another thread, but now it seems i figured out the behaviour that maxes problems:
For example if you install DW Contacts as dialer (since you need a dialer with smart dial otherwise you won't notice):
1. Press the green button so that "DW Telephone" will open
2. if not selected as standard, select the most left icon for the caller
So and now for example I want to search for some guy called "Holzer" in my phonebook.
3. start typing "HOLZ" and it will suggest "Holzer"
4. but if you type "e" now, nothing will be selected anymore.
So why does this happen?
Answer: All keys with numbers will be treated like on a T9-Keyboard. If you press E it will be an A, B or C - but not an E!
So, how can we fix this?
I did not have this behaviour on the standard dialer of the standard ROM, but I did not try DW Contacts there. Can anyone try?
BTW: The problem is other way round if I add a new contact and type into the field for the phone number. J will be a number instead of a "+". Could anyone try if this is the same with the standard ROM?
Video of the screen where to try this will be on https://vimeo.com/41715841 shortly.
i am using super OSR and DW contacts, i dont have this issue. The problem may be with your keyboard mapping.
And my friend, this is not the right thread to post questions, this is development thread and i appreciate if you can post the questions to general thread
What keypad patch did you install?
Sorry I thought it's a bug of SuperOSR.
But didn't have any special keyboard patch installed since it worked like expected when I'm not in any dialer app (od contact list). So you think that patch might fix this?
I thought it could be an issue with the keyboard patch.
Hmm... Ok then the keyboard patch might not solve this problem.
I wonder why other people don't have this problem - or did they just not notice? If you use the standard dialer that comes with SuperOSR you won't notice because it does not have a smart dial function that is doing numbers and letters at the same time.
So you have to install a 3rd party dialer app to notice that problem. Could any one else try with DW Contacts or Dialer One please?
Could anyone with stock ROM try DW Contacts and see how it works there?
And some other issue:
Try Download C64-Emulator "Frodo" and Type the Zero. It does not work while all other keys worked but it worked with the standard rom. Strange.
I did flash both chacha-keypad-ger-signed.zip and chacha-keypad-stent-signed.zip now, but there are the same problems. It doesn't seem to have any effect - even when I install the norwegian keyboard nothing happens.
I used to have my phone give me a 3 quick vibrate pattern for incoming text and other notifications. (System Settings>>Sound)
But now I don't have any of those options (or can't find it). Anyone know off hand where that is or how to get it back?
I believe I may have switch Messaging programs....think i flashed either AOKP or CM10 and was on the other previously.
If that's what made that change I'll flash back if someone knows.
I'm currently on Eclipse build 4...with justin860's 4.1.2 inverted apps.
thanks,
I'm on Jelly Bean's Rom Build 6 and I have the same issue (and I believe stock has this issue too). There doesn't seem to be any way to get a different vibration pattern for text messages on stock messaging app that I've found. :/
It is the cm10 mms. Inside there you get the choice, plus it has the quickview quick reply option popup which is real nice.
is it possible to flash cyanogenmod 10 sms app (or is there an apk?) without the full rom? edit: yes it is but it doesn't work on the rom I use (bean's rom build 6)

yeah I'd think it would work on any aosp rom like aokp or cm10 ....but not a tw rom like beans.
I made a fix for this problem (I'd post directly to my reddit thread but I can't yet post outside links so I'll just copy the text):
"So one of my biggest annoyances (pretty much my only annoyance) when I first got my GS3 was that the SMS notification for the stock SMS app is always a long single vibration rather than two brief ones (two differentiate it from a call vibration). I searched but all the solutions I could find involved battery-eating third party apps just for customizing notifications which I didn't want or third-party sms apps which I didn't want.
So I decided to roll my own solution. I bought Tasker and set up a new profile. Here are the instructions to set up this profile if you're new to Tasker:
Create a new profile with the [+] button.
For the Context, you want "Event" then "Phone" then "Received Text" and then click the check mark.
Then for the Task, you want "Alert" then "Vibrate Pattern." Here you have some options. You enter patterns in the format "#,#" where the first number (in milliseconds) is how long to wait before starting to vibrate, then the second is how long (in milliseconds) to vibrate for, and then you can add more to pause more and then vibrate more. I use "0,300,250,300" which means immediately vibrate for 300 milliseconds, then wait 250 milliseconds, then vibrate 300 milliseconds again.
Then just make sure you disable the vibration built into the stock sms app: go to your sms list, his the menu key, then settings, then scroll down to notification settings and uncheck "Vibrate."
And you're done!"
