Experiencing weird problems with my Tbolt - Thunderbolt General

My Tbolt seems to have lost its ability to vibrate on calls, texts, notifications or whatever else would make it vibrate. Even when changing the ringer volume to vibrate it doesn't work like it used to. About 10% of the time it works. Also I noticed the back lights on the 4 capacitive buttons aren't lighting up when they should. They randomly come on and off sometimes. Is this a sign of some hardware issues and as a result do I need to get a replacement or can someone help me out? Thanks!

Assuming you're rooted, try another Rom. If it is still not working, then yeah it might be a hardware issue.
Also, WIPE everything. Format the system partition as well.
Oh and uh, GO CANES!!

I'm stock rooted. Might have to go back to liquid gingerbread like I was before. I'll give a reset a go. Thanks!
& long live the U baby!!

For some roms there are options to turn off the lights for the 4 soft keys and also disable vibrate. So thats another possibility

You need to reflash your kernel
I have had the exact thing happen and it was a bad kernel from dev or a bas flash

Occasional calls not connecting

so I love my cappy.
but sometimes, probably 1/10 or 1/15 calls I will hit call someone, It will say calling them, then a few seconds later it will not call them.... like it cant connect to the towers or something, this is when i have service... I dont really ever drop calls when im on the phone, but sometimes they drop before the call is made...
reasoning for this or fix?
THanks
JL3 modem if that matters.
Someone downloading torrents or streaming HD movies got priority over your phone call.
I'm sure thats not what happens

This is a tough one since I'm sure there are a number of factors that might cause this. I did however have a similar issue as you. I changed to a different modem and cleared cache and dalvik cache and it seemed to have fixed it cuz it has not happened since. I'm not sure this will fix your issue but it's worth a shot. Good luck
IM Now on JL2 I believe with same result. 1 out of every ten or so calls doesn't connect. How do I wipe those caches?

Just boot into recovery and select "wipe cache partition" and then go into advanced clockwork menu and select "wipe dalvik cache"
It might just be AT$T being crappy like normal. This has happened to me on a dumb phone, a BB and this. I have used a few different modems with the same results
Does this happen to yall every once in a while when someone calls it comes through but I can't hear them and they cant hear me like it actually isn't connected.
No, I don't recall the not being able to hear the caller or them me problem.

If I wipe caches do I have to reflash rom?

Have you tried JK4 yet? I've had good results running that modem. If you decide to flash jk4 wipe both the cache's again before you flash. If that still doesn't fix it maybe just try going back to stock and re flashing the rom again. If you haven't already done so, try installing sgs tools and using the secret code section to see what your band selection and gsm status is like.
Haven't tried jk4 yet. Tryed clearing caches, still did it today.

still not working? The only other thing you can do at this point is try going back to stock and see if the problem still persists. If it doesn't it might be a hardware issue.
There is a new Bell modem out that everyone is saying is pretty good, you never know it might just fix things for you here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391 its the I9000UGKC1
Thanks. Ill try flashing a new rom later. If so then back to stock for a bit. Any more ideas?

Doesn't do it on stock. Tested it for a day, probs 30 calls. So any ideas? I contacted rom dev.

What u
I ment is does it vibrate in a pattern? Apps do 3 fast pulses when they are forced to close by the system when something goes wrong.

Try turning off vibrate feedback
i have same problem iff the screen is off and i hold down the volume keys lol

Haptic feedback borked after GB update

Yep, you guessed it.. my haptic feedback on key presses is borked.. it works on some letters and not others.. I did the ota update, then did the ruu update, but the issue is still there.. I assume a factory reset would be next to start clean.
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Never heard the term borked before but i get the just of it LOL. As you have planned to do, a full wipe and clean install would be my recommendation to troubleshoot this issue.

What is this screen...

And how do i keep it from coming up? It shows up randomly while plugged in and it goes to it everytime i hit the home button. Ive tried resetting all defaults on any launchers and any accuweather apps. The only way i can get rid of it is to either hit the back button all the way to the home screen or reset the phone

Ics has an option under settings. Display. Weather. To enable or disable this.

I think that is your dock screen. I had that problem with a powerskin battery. The phone thought it was in a dock. I replaced the powerskin and it went away.

[Q] multitouch problems?

I'm running seans SKYICS 12.5
I used to use alot of emulators, such as gameboid. And I never had a problem playing games like super marios world. But now I can't seem to hold in A to run, and the D pad to move at the same time so I can actually run. Any suggestions on how to fix this? With using the emulator and noticing that problem, I'm now seeing it elsewhere, like when I type on the keyboard. I recently switched to swiftkey over swype and I thought it was just the new keyboard wasn't as quick as swype.. So I switched back to swype for a minute and it seems to be a multi touch problem..

I would try going to the latest update, I'm running the 13ish update with no multi touch problems.

Its a non wipe update just clear cache, install zip and reboot let cache build up and fix permissions.

Are you sure? I read the change log and it says he's on base 5 now.. I'm on base 4 with update 12.5
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You can update without base 5 several people have done it and confirmed its working fine, just update as usual. If you want his new base you could always flash, the only downside is if you update base you need to wipe, Happy flashing.

I just updated. Problem persists. I guess I should rephrase. Multitouch works, but not very well. Like I have a delay before what I'm second pressing will kick in. It might as well not work. Idk. I never had this problem on GB. Might be a ICS thing since seans roms are basically perfect.

I can't find any settings to mess with the touch input. Probably has something to do with sensitivity and such.
