Lock screen issue (GT-P6210 ICS) - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Ok this problem actually started when I first rooted my tab and installed a custom ROM and every rom after. My lock screen just stopped working. Stayed with the custom ROMs for a little while then decided a wanted my lock screen back. So i decided to go stock again. Went through the proper procedures to go back to stock. (wiping device and Odin the stock HC ROM) all that.. No luck still. Upgraded to ICS and STILL no lock screen. If anyone knows what the problem may be, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Click on where it says "face unlock" and switch it to "pattern lock"
Or is that the problem itself? Does "pattern lock" not show up at all as an option?

Everything shows up.. I have no problem setting up the pattern, number and face unlock. Its just that when I do it doesn't activate my lock screen at all.

GPS on STOCK vs ROOTED

I remember when I was on stock factory rom my GPS was working perfectly.
Now on custom rom rooted it bearly gets my location right..
Opinions?

Funny, on stock I could never get a lock. Try this: set the GPS source to internal
Grab an app called GPS status
Run it and let it download the "aiding data" them reboot, relaunch it, seconds later you should have a lock.

I'm having the exact same issues. I used to have trouble locking but now as soon as I enable gps my phone reboots. I'm gonna try wiping it clean tomorrow and running the dragon kernel to see if it helps. Running Bionix Reloaded (latest)
anyone know a quick fix without rebooting?

I too have instant locks on any stock based rom after updating my baseband. But, after flashing custom CM7/EB/ etc non stock roms i noticed it took a little longer to lock if it even locked. So i seen a post here on xda about going into the maps app via settings/ applications/ manage applications. Then clear cache/data. Then going back into navigation or maps app i would receive instant locks again. Sorry I dont have a link to that thread but thats what helped me. it takes a few extra seconds to do that but i liked it better than rebooting my phone which took longer.

[Q] Problem with accelerometer!!

I have a rooted Nexus S i9023 running CM9 RC1 with Air Kernel... I usually have auto rotate turned off because I don't like it! But then a few days back my device used to auto rotate automatically with the rotate being turned off.. It solved itself after a few days so I didn't bother. But it's just stuck in landscape mode and will not switch no matter what I do! It happened while I was using KangyU also and it happened with it also 3 times. Everytime I need to perform a factory reset and flash a new ROM and then it solves :/ I used androsensor and it does show a value for Accelerometer but my phone simply does not rotate! Is there a problem with my accelerometer? Do i need to give it to the service center or can I do something that will solve it? Any help appreciated
If doing a factory reset/ reflash fixes it. Then it is not a hardware issue.
Not factory reset persay. I need to flash a new ROM for it to go normal

This is probably a problem with your Kernel or ROM, please flash a stock ROM to ensure that the accelerometer is fine. If you are afraid you might lose anything make a backup or so.
Okay yeah AiRKernel might be the problem. Thanks I'll try it and let you know. Thanks!

I went stock.. But AndroSensor is still showing the same reading it was showing on CM9.. And the auto-rotation bug only comes after a few weeks into any ROM.. Also everytime that occurs I get a prompt saying
" Complete action using
Clock
Tune In Radio "
Everytime I get that pop-up I'm stuck on landscape for infinity. So can it be an app problem? It's happened so far on 3 ROM's I've used (KangyU, CM9, Paranoiandroid)
so I doubt whether it is a ROM issue. Maybe a Kernel issue because I've used AirKernel on all 3 of them
Could be either I suppose. Not sure how either could cause it though
The sensor read out should be the same no matter what rom is on there. That is normal. The app itself tells you what the read outs from each sensor should be as well
My point. But what I mean is, If readings are the same then the behaviour should be same as well right? Where is the accelerometer exactly located?

If a new rom and kernel didn't fix it then it might be hardware.
Strangest thing happened. I uninstalled Tune In Radio and voila auto rotate back! So the app was the issue! But any idea what might have possessed that app to do so? :/

Stock ICS random reboots to dead android robot with red triangle?

All my searching (xda, google, phandroid) attempts only came up with people having problems flashing roms. THIS IS NOT THAT.
I have a Nexus S 4G (d720) running stock 4.0.4 (never rooted or flashed a rom on this phone). As of about 3 hours ago, my phone has reset itself four times. 3/4 rebooting to android robot with red triangle. The last one reboot to the google logo and then was stuck for 10 minutes. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Without fail, it's done it every night for four nights. Can anyone help?

Have you tried a factory reset?

Yes. Tried it yesterday. it didn't shut off all day...until i woke up late today because it spazzed out and my alarm failed.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda app-developers app
Now, it restarts to a screen of the android robot and a rotating light blue wireframe complex shape of some sort...then it changes to the dead robot with the red exclamation mark. I don't even know what to google anymore....any help??
If it has never been unlocked, rooted and completely stock...I would just take it in for service. If you want to root and flash then we can help :thumbup:

I'll take it in tomorrow, if they can't help...would it change anything to root and flash a rom? or could it be something hardware related?
Found a post with a similar problem here. It looks like going to the sprint store won't help much...
Take it in first. If not I say root and see if that solves it.

I took it in, they did a "Factory Factory Reset" where they have to input a "special code" and it spazzed out within 5 minutes of me turning it on. So completely stock, no apps, no nothing. fresh out of the box and synced to my gmail, it did the same thing. The only new thing I've put on my phone in the last month has been a Zagg screen protector...and I'm fairly certain that has nothing to do with it. So they ordered me a new one, hopefully it lasts longer than this one. Thanks for your help.
Glad it worked out.

Read the topics in this forum, there are 20,000 posts pertaining to this issue...
But to be nice do this if you are still on CM10.1....
I Have No Signal etc.can't get past the activation screen. Tap the 4 corners of the screen to bypass activation screen then go into settings> more> mobile networks> and change CDMA Subscription to RUIM/SIM and System Select to Automatic then reboot...

If you are back on a TW rom then use odin and flash the F2 stock image then type this in a dialer...
Code:
*2767*3855#
That reprovision code will not work on JB or later ICS builds. It was removed due to a exploit, hence why having to flash a early ICS build.
Ya sorry I flashed back to tw. But then read down the forums and found an answer. I just flashed cm without gapps and changed the nv thing to sim or whatever. I didn't have to use odin. Thanks anyway

I727 is Bricked ?

Hi XDA,
I have a problem with my i727 at&t, 3 days ago I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 with Kies, it's all stock ROM no root.
at the begining suddenly turned off and stayed vibrating with the dark screen, but was returning on.
But now only loads the image of Samsung and is vibrating and it does not happen there,
and try with change of battery but it seems to brick of nowhere.
any solution, or another good looking paperweight ?
Have you tried flashing the stock firmware with odin. That would be the step I'd take.

I had the exact same thing happen to me way back and I put phone into download and as suggested in post above Odin back to stock. Good luck.

If not, I've had a similar thing happen to me several times before.
You can read about the last time it happened to me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403022 .
It's such a weird and unexpected thing in my mind that I totally forgot about the first time(s?) it happened.
The first time was either when the AT&T JB leaked in 2012 or when the official AT&T JB UCMC1 was released. Rogers JB RUXUMA7 is also sensitive in some weird ways.
When using the AT&T / Rogers JB roms always make sure to turn phone off by the power menu. As just pulling out the battery has bricked my phone twice (or more times when I was testing out roms) with at least the AT&T rom.
Rogers RUXUMA7 has it's own quirks, a CWM (both older and newer version) backup of this rom restored will have gallery and phone forceclosing. Even with wiped data & cache for those particular apps..
