Glitching since rooting

Hi guys Yosif here I could really use some help here I rooted my phone a couple mouths ago with super one click everything went swell until lately my phone keeps stuttering and resetting itself (not often but still ) and my camera constantly fails T-Mobile contacts backup is constantly running I don't get it! What does this mean? and what should I do? Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Well you rooted...so the better question is what did YOU do? I don't see how you can say its glitching since rooting when you only started having these problems recently. what did you change? How about you try going into recovery and try wiping the cache and if that doesn't work try a factory reset.

I tried wiping the cache the phone is running more smoothly but camera and other apps are still pausing and the camera still fails I did a fota fix and deleted a few apps ie inception, drive smart and Facebook,don't know guess I'll try factory resetting. I'll report back with the results. Thanks

if you're still on stock...you can try flashing the rom. check you the bible thread and see if one of those are the best options for you.
if not, there was a thread about a non-functioning camera a few days ago. might answer some questions:

I think that's your problem right there. I remember back when the phone was first released, that people were deleting that as part of the "get rid of bloat" phase, and running into problems as a result.

check out the noobs guide to odin in the bible. i would say to flash to krylons stock kb5.

Did the factory data reset now everything seems to be fine thanks for your assistance

(as I quietly look at the "thanks" button)

"nonchalantly looking at the thanks button..."
And by the way, you CAN remove DriveSmart (or freeze it, rather). I've done it since KC1 and it hasn't affected a single thing. The camera bug would have nothing to do with that.
Aside from the bible, i have a tiny little eency weency quickstart guide heeeere.
there -> click meeeee for mah' prettyful site <-there
Good luck!

Thanx! Oh and what thanks button? Is that some mythical beast?!

it's your way of looking more like a senior XDA member.
Pretty much tells you whether a person is to be trusted with their answers or not.

As far as the Thanks button, you will only see it if browsing the site, not the XDA App.

bite me krylon lol dude we should so Tf2 later i got that ***** installed

Could use some suggestions.

I've used every rom on XDA and they're all great in their own way. I'm currently running the latest miui by whitehawkx. At first it was great but now I'm getting slow down and random loss of signal that only returns with a restart. I also have problems with the screen not turning back on properly. I press the lock button and the screen will light up like its about to turn on or it will flash the lockscreen for a second then go blank. Only fix is to relock then unlock again, quite a pain.
I'm looking for a daily rom that will get me at least 9 hours of battery life, is fast and responsive. Like I said, I've used all of the roms here but I don't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up for each rom and testing for multiple days to make a choice. Personal choices are welcome but please say why you like it.
On a side note, does anyone know why updates have pretty much stopped for all the roms our phone can use?
Thank you!

Try Weapon 3. I have been using it for a few weeks without any problems. Better battery life is accomplished with turning off GPS, Bluetooth and data when you're not using them. As well, don't run unnecessary apps and don't overclock.

Was actually in the process of downloading weapon. I can't shut data off since I need constant access to my email but otherwise I already do the other things. I've only been able to get about 10 max on my phone regardless of the rom, might have a bad battery.

I used GiggleBread with Trinity kernel and got over 25 hours as a max. On average I'd be around 16-18 hours with that combo. Try that. And this is with moderate use.

Wtf is gigglebread? If its on xda then I stand corrected in my statement that Ive used all the roms.

Unresponsive screen

Anyone experiences randomly unresponsive touch screen after wake the device or try to pick up a call?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Are you rooted? Custom ROM? How many background apps were running at time? I have had it go blank on me but it is always looking at Facebook pics....needs update....anyway..but never unresponsive. On that note let me update my sig so everyone will know my specs.

I have heard of people complaining about this when there phone is plugged in but not otherwise maybe a bug? Or defective

I don't have your problem. but i did missed two calls due to the issue i mentioned
hoping ATT will release an update, or the AOSP will be perfect soon.

[Q] disable soft key lights?

I know my phone. We are very intimate. I know just where to touch her. I don't need the keys blinding me. Can I disable them, permanently? I never want to see these light up again!

If you really want to disable them permanently, it's a one-line change in the kernel. You basically don't tell it where the light switch is .
Which ROM are you using?

Code:
gpio_direction_output(_3_GPIO_TOUCH_EN, onoff);
Well damn, looks like that might not only have turned off the backlight, but also the ability to use the button. Black electrician's tape is probably an easier solution if that was your goal.
Somehow I think you still want to be able to use the buttons though.

Isn't there another line of code that tells how bright the keys can be? Is it possible to set that at 0?

Also could you upload the kernel where the back light keys don't turn on and don't work? I think it would be useful for people who want to use the ice cream sandwich soft keys

I'm not trying to hinder development, but in my opinion I would rather them spend their time on stuff that is less cosmetic... that stuff can come later because there are more important issues they are working on. I'm sure it will one day get fixed...

Sometimes a little distraction is nice. Trust me, after you've been staring at VCO divider tables for a while, something simple like "Can you just turn off this light?" is a good way to improve productivity. I'm back in the tables again this morning, but this gives me something interesting and rewarding to do during the roughly hour and a half a full build takes.

Pfft!
no one here is asking the main devs for this fix anymore....its already been said several times they dont know....sooo maybe other people in here can try to figure out a fix.
So have a nice day.
Also its not just so "cosmetic" as you think.....the people that are on ics based roms would truely appreciate this fix due to the amount of battery life gained if those damn lights didnt stay on.

I would like to know which line this is as well. I dont need extra keys in beam. I want just the hard keys

I do agree that it would be nice. Think about it the only time the lights are on is if the screen is on, if the screen is on, chances are you are touching the screen unless you are watching a movie... there are a few roms out that don't have this problem like the beam port... Maybe compare roms and kernels? There is bound to be a solution. I hope you find your answer and sorry i wasn't trying to blast anyone.

Its all good....i watch alt of movies while sitting at the back gates waiting for the parks to empty out at Disney so i can go to work and the those lights are quite annoying in the dark watching movies lol

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Theres an app called screen filter on the market that does the trick by turning off the softkeys umtil you actually click them details are on my capacitive buttons thread.

Its kinda old news...but it does work but its just more steps for getting what you want......when it could all be avoided

[Q] Possible Power Button going out????

So lately ive been flashing roms like crazy trying to find the perfect one for me, and ive been having some issues with the phone locking up after i locked the screen and trying to get it unlocked again. the haptic buttons light up but the screen stays black. Just now it happened and the camera flash blinked a few times. It may just be a glitch within the rom. Im using Beanstalk 2.5 at the moment by the way, but have read where the power button could be the issue. I've looked at prices online for it and have seen it for $.99 to as much as $40. dont know what the difference could be in them unless they do the work for you., which just curious but how hard/easy is it to replace?
Thanks!

This doesn't sound like the power button at all. Look at vincom's stickies for the symptoms and trouble shooting.

If you are running a CM base rom, CM has a bug where the phone won't wake from sleep. You have to force reboot.

If you just wait about two seconds your screen will come on.
