Multitouch fix.... - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI on my lg p500 I have some problems with multitouch in games there is a fix? I dont want to change my rom or kernel (maybe a kernel with fix)
so there is a fix something?

The multitouch problem on our phones is caused by our hardware, so a complete fix would be almost impossible. There are different touch screen drivers in different kernels which do affect multitouch, but none fix it. Also, there's an old kernel with a work-around that does a fairly good job fixing it, but I can't seem to find it, it also caused a lot of battery drain. There's an ice cream sandwich kernel which tries to fix it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468792 in my opinion, it doesn't work very well though, and it is only for ice cream sandwich. If you try out different kernels, you may find one that you like better, but there is no way to completely fix it.

( on youtube I have watch a video with 80% fix for lg500

its true we have kernel with the touch fixes... n basicaly mostly all kernels are built with these fixes..... if the problem cannot go completely atleast it has been reduced..!!!! :cyclops: ... well... search over for kernels.... i can say... candied ice... perfect peso... roqthunder(these r some good kernels... which r used as defaults in roms).. so... check it out... download zip n flash..

[Q] Why update to GB?? when froyo was so stable?

6 months of using a rock solid stable rom xxkb3 (stock), I had only 1 issue that I needed Gb update that is few new apps only work on GB such as equalizer a great app for music but that too is buggy on GB, it produces tik tak tuk (static sound) on an ideal phone.
I finally updated to xxkpm based custom rom with all those fancy stuff now I observe that the phone is lagging in camera/ phonebook, messeging etc, battery backup is almost same as froyo many version of GB are having problem with following.
high battery drain
WIFI connection drops
In sleep mode, data connection stops working
push mail notification does not work
gtalk/skype video chat does not work
car bluetooth connection drop (phonebook download issue)
I wonder what was this whole GB noise all about, to me version number are just numbers & they don't necessarily mean better stable rom than Froyo.
So I am wondering whats the gain in updating to GB accept that you get a new FW which is still buggy in many areas.
Namaless specifically mentioned that GB is buggy & ditched the development on gb & based his custom rom on xxkb3.
Those who are with GB & prefer GB various version can you tell me what is better in GB that is making you use GB for your daily use? please list features which you think was not available in froyo on i9003
You can see the different here..
http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/
Ya...you are right. But it depends on ur preferanace. I dont need wifi, gmail sync (i do it manually), vdo chat. I just use themes, 2g net, lots of fun apps, latest mods like 10 lockscreens, 14 toggles, kernal related mods. This is our normal user view.
But if u ask any developer especially kernal developers then they will definitely 1st go for gb because source codes are more simpler & gives developer more modification in kernal & whole rom. The problems which u have mentione can be solved in cm7. Regarding vdo calling I have hopes from doomlord. He has kernal & device driver's knowledge.
1. I had problem with WiFi (not as others have), but it was solved with help of copying WiFi settings from Froyo. Now it works well for me
2. Battery drain is the same for me now (Before I was using OsmanFansRom v1.2.1, now CianogenMod7). Look at the image (I used it very small today). As you can see it uses battery with the same speed as on Froyo. Draining depends of usage). When I listen music all time through bluetooth it can work only 12 hours. but it's good for mp3 players, isn't it?
3. Never use this (I don't need email at my phone, I always near PCs), And never checked it
4. I use skype very seldom (and only for chatting). BTW in Froyo Video doesn't work too
5. I'm using stereo bleotooth all day long (listening music, speaking and so on). I never had problem with it. I don't know may be car's bluetooth is different, but I don't think so.
Pluses I received from CM7: It's very customizable, It's very easy to apply themes, it's very good looking for me, and I like to use it even now (when it's beta). I like effects OldTV, showing messages in the top bar, unlock effects, and so on.
here is original screenshot
My reason (apart from the stability), is videocalls. I needs videocalls every day, and this I can only get in Froyo. I only can do videocalls using Tango, and only in Froyo. The other aps (Fring, Oovoo and Skype) in Froyo, and all the apps (includind Tango) in ginger doesn't work. The issue is the same, flickering with the front camera, FC doesn't work well.
I would use ginger because it is more customizable and has things like CRT effect, but I need videocalls, and that only I can do it in froyo and with tango ....
froyo's ancient man!
would u buy a samsung galaxy s 3 years from now,or buy a much better phone for the same price even though u now gs1 is rock stable and solid?
I don't understand you, sorry for my english, but I bought this phone, and I want i9003 give me everything i9003 can do (including videocalls)
GB is better!!!!
Ya man u r right froyo was stable....gingerbread is also stable for normal use....
I felt the following changes-
Speed(u have to agree its fast and smooth)..
More customizable...new and better rom's from developers
Its neat...less lag...better quadrant....more games support..etc

Probably YES since phone to me is a tool to be used for my daily work, life, enjoyment, education etc, The last phone I used was 6 years old moto works like a charm even now, I am not those kinds who are after the latest & greatest & most fashionable phones no matter what the specs may be.
Prime importance for me is, can the phone make me more productive in day to day work/ life, if yes then I will go for it.

Yes due to many new mods its less laggy, but I experienced the same lag in one of the custom rom I tried, now I have changed to another one & will see if it really is a power horse or lags exactly the same way.
So you are saying, "many GB update released and they all crap". That's against the logic why we need updates? Why softwares need updates? Why updates are needed?
First of all stability isn't everthing for hardwares but for sure it's a very important thing. Updates can provide many abilities to hardwares which previous versions can't do. Updates are for to improve performance, efficiency, stability, ergonomics, friendliness. However this doesn't happen as expected and create new problems. And it continues to the time a better solution is arrived.
As for me. I'm using XXKPN.
I can't even use GPS in froyo - Works perfectly now.
I charged my phone everyday - Charging in 2-3 day period.
Lags, self reboots - No lag, no reboot.
Touch sensivity is not bad - After using KPN I say it's perfect.
It takes hours to load phonebook - Loads very very faster now.

No I don't mean that GB is crap, but its still far from being bug free for daily (heavy) usage of various features. Wifi connection dropping is the latest thing which is bugging users. I have faced a bluetooth bug with 2 custom roms they don't work well with car bluetooth & hang at phonebook download but never finishes it thus the music streaming interrupts after 15 sec.
Since I have only used xxkpm whereas xxkpn was released after that may be it sorts out many bugs which I am facing.
The biggest reason for my upgrade is HD playback. This single reason is enough for me.
I think overall Gb is good, I also never have WiFi problem.

Hd video shot with the camera always played smooth in froyo. Hd encoded with certain codec had problems for which I used mobo player.

I updated XXKPN from XXKPE. I heard that many user faced with wifi and 3g issues but I didn't. I don't really know why but small differences on variables can cause various effects on usage. Anyway, it's sensible to use latest software.

But it will not play smooth or through hardware decoding. Now I just download 720 movie and enjoy directly without thinking for converting.

Why did i update?
- Froyo crashes every 2-3 days for me. Gingerbread works perfectly.
- Better battery in Gingerbread
- Feels 'smoother' than Froyo
- .flv files actually play
i have the same problem with GB
can someone tell me how copying WiFi settings from the Froyo?

Hi.
Are you sure you have the same problem as I had? No one before had this problem on this forum.
in the attach my fix to copy settings files. You have to apply this file in the CWM (before applying be sure you have mounted /system partition).
Edit: here is description of my problem. BTW I don't have this problem with ICS ROMs (CM9 or MIUI4)

No one can really tell you which is best, as it's all relative. They are both good so try them both out and decide what works best for you. I, personally, don't like these "which one is best" threads as it can be demeaning to the devs. They all work hard and they all deserve equal respect. You can't possibly know which one you like better unless you try them both/all

Both of them need more improvements in order to become stable ROMs.

HellFire ICS 4.0.3
BIG THANKS to everyone who is involved from the USB drivers to the ROOTers to the ROM kings.
Downloaded this ROM and after several hours for the FIRST TIME EVER, rooted my G2X, installed CWM, installed this ROM and the GAPPS. Sweet, no I feel so much LESS amateurish.
First BOOT didn't take as long as I thought it would. SHUTDOWN and STARTUP (POWER-UP) are WAY faster than they were on 2.3.3.
Below are OBSERVATIONS not complaints:
I am not a developer, just a user. The interface is really cool (for lack of more technical terms). Video playback is REALLY CHOPPY when it was smooth on 2.3.3. and many of the videos won't even play. The other DOWNSIDE is my BATTERY is DEAD as HELL, been charging for 2 hours already and still only at 80%, with 2.3.3 the battery (which is extended life) would last for a day and a half.
I am in the process of downloading the EAGLES BLOOD version to make my own comparisons. From what I am reading both these ROMs need work BUT I don't know anything about that.
WHAT IS REALLY COOL is that LG doesn't even have ICS in the pipe for G2X yet and now it's on my phone - SWEET.
I so look forward to future updates and ROMs to keep us less talented in the GAME. Thanks again, Mark
AND Now I have SuperUser rights - don't know what that means yet either but I will try to learn!

You'll find them to be pretty similar. Video playback is a known issue for all ICS roms and will likely persist as an issue for a long time (quite possibly until we have a release/source from T-Mobile/LG). Also, you'll notice that some apps don't work too well yet (basically same issue as video playback).
Outside of that, the share the same source, but HFS v1.2 was build more recently, and therefor has the newest commits from Arcee. This includes things like setting data limits and switching storage between internal and external SD. Hell also baked in a facebook sync patch that may or may not be working for people (I haven't tried it, but heard some people had problems).
Further outside of that, each developer has added their own style to the rom. I believe, however, that Eaglesblood isn't due to get the majority of the customization that the other EB roms enjoy until the next release.
Hope that helps.

hellfire sandwich 1.2
I've been using it for a few days and seems very stable no FC yet but I would a reboot at least once a day.
I've been debating on which ICS rom to go with (still on CM7 now)
Probably go with Hellfire because they are on the cusp of a new release, and it's apparently very good.
Luvin the EB ICS
Been using the eb ics for two days now. It doesn't seem to consume as much battery as my previous rom (GB Weapon G2x) and that was a really good rom. Had to change to ics because i seemed to be having reboot issues and I longed for ics.
So far been having a few force closes but am still breaking it in. Seem to be having battery calibration problems as well, but i will give it time. I would say try them all. Max respect to the devs.
I had EB and the 'Music' kept stopping. I installed HF and have not had 1 error.
Well first off, ICS ROMs for this phone are not finished yet and will give you many stability issues and compatibility issues. That being said, you won't know which one you like more unless you try out both of them for yourself.

You can't even use your camera, and there is no media acceleration.
So, no, it is not at all stable.

I used HFS v1.2 for 2-3 weeks and the camera works perfectly fine. No problems with the camera FC. It will only force close if you try to take video with it. Hardware acceleration is also fixed for v1.2. HFS v1.2 was perfectly stable except for the FC on video and random drop outs on wifi calling.
Imagine if LG released the drivers... ICS would be working perfectly :/

Been using Hellfire Sandwich since release. Here is my run down of what I see.
-Speed is good.
-Memory management works well but will cause FC because of more running processes then allowed.
-Paired with setCPU profiles I get insane battery life.Better then GB.
-Browser issues with flickering when rotating between portrait and landscape. Dolphin will FC as well.
-Bluetooth will drop out sometimes. Unsure if this is the phone or my headset.
-Browser does have video playback issue. YouTube and Netflix app works fine.
-No Widgets? Or I'm doing it wrong.
-No issues with any of my usual apps.
All I can think of at the moment. I use my phone casually for games and browsing.

no widgets? you should always be able to use widgets. But remember with ICS you have to get widgets by scrolling to the right in the apps drawer. I can't get netflix to work..dunno how you got that..the sound works but not the video. youtube works fine.
My Review
As a normal user I can say Hellfire ICS is much better then EB's. In the aspect of
Speed is way better.
Less Laggs while opening apps
Faster browsing then EB's
Stucking issue is less in Hellfire
In short Hellfire's ICS :good: is faster then EagleBlood's as per me... (a normal user not a dev)

so many issues?

im currently using the latest ordroid ROM and have a few issues that i also faced in other roms. is this something hardware related? are there any fixes? im new to the sensation so maybe im missing something?
camera completely kills phone requiring a battery pull
capacitive button lights don't always turn on or stay on
Proximity sensor doesn't work, screen remains on during calls, UNLESS if i restart my phone in a dark room
the light sensor is kind of weak (autobrightness doesnt adjust properly)
its mostly just light and proximity sensor issues, not really sure how to fix them.. any help?

Based on your signature, you're running OrDroid 7.1.0 .
At this point in time (IMHO) the Sense 4.0 ROMs just aren't mature enough to warrant using them as a daily driver. There's a lot of bugs that remain to be fixed or even discovered.
Remember, the Sense 4.0 ROMs are not originally made for our devices - they are a port from another device.
Probably best to stick with Sense 3.6 based ROMs.
OH, its because of sense 4.0? probably something kernel related im assuming?
yea our official ICS came with sense 3.6 but 4.0 is sooooo slick
well, at least i know its nothing wrong with my phones hardware .. ill try a 3.6 rom and see if i get the same issues. thanks

Yes, I agree, it DOES look slick LOL! It's not Sense 4.0, but rather, the ROMs based on Sense 4.0. Again, they are ports from over devices - once all the kinks get ironed out they are going to kick butt! But for now, they are very young and "not quite ready for prime time".

There is workaround for that.
Camera : Turn off face detection in camera settings, your camera will fly.
Capacitive Button : It's related usually with Kernel. Read Changelog of the kernel you have to see if there is a workaround.
Proximity Sensor is working correctly if you untick Automatic Brightness.
That should fix some of your problems. You can have a look at this thread too.

hmm, okay ill look into that..
auto brightness doesnt even work for me, and because of that.. the capacitive touch buttons dont light up (since they cant detect if its dark enough to be lit)
it worked on stock rom, and i went straight from stock to sense 4.0 without missing a beat im gonna try arhd sense 3.6 to see if these issues are nonexistent with sensation base roms
the proxy sensor works... when it wants to..
it seems this issue remains with sense 3.6 based ROMs

Jellybean (CM/AOKP/Virtuous) Maps/Photoshpere Bug (Report Here)

Hello,
I have the following problem:
I experience visual artifacts when using two-finger rotate in Google Maps, also Photoshpere is really acting up... the images flicker...
Not all devices have it, as a matter of fact there are few of them (reported). Let's try to collect as much data as we can in order to find the cause of this and maybe a fix. I'll start.
HTC One S
Color: Gradient Blue
HBOOT:1.14.0002
Radio:1.06es.50.02.31
Jun 11 2012, 14:36:28
It's recommended to attach a logcat with the problem.
The problem allways happen when try to rotate Gmaps with two fingers, and photoshpere gets crazy especially after taking 1st photo.
It seems like an accelerometer problem, but accelerometer utilities seems to report the sensors working fine, so maybe a GPU driver problem.
C'mon guys, let's get this fixed
For the flicker have you tried changing debug.composition.type=dyn to debug.composition.type=gpu? I also had the same issue with that camera but only tried it when it come out, have you tried other packs that have it?

I've tried many packs... i will try those and report back. The thing that scares me is that this happens on Virtuous Rom also (which is almost stock build with HTC jb libs), and this may mean that i will never have fully working jb not either from HTC.

Keep in mind the camera is for 4.2, not 4.1, and I doubt we'd ever get stock camera on official Sense.

ok, that's not a problem, i can live without photoshpere, but the fact is Google Maps also have this problem and I need GMaps...
I know that at least 3 others reported this problem (and i'm sure that are many others who didn't test for it) I wonder where are they now...
I started this thread hoping that if other users reported it, the devs would try to solve this, but i think i'll just have to wait for HTC to give us JB and see if i still have the problem (but I am really concerned that I might have it). What's wrong with this One series? so many bugs (and not minor): cases chipping, helicoptering bug, sound issues, performance issues (one x), this problem....
I reported in another thread that I have this problem and I do, when using photosphere, I've seen it, although if I keep my movements nice and slow and steady, it seems to hold together.
I haven't seen any problem in Google Maps though, what happens to you in there?
Cheers

when i rotate the map with two fingers i get visual artifacts
I have the same problem on photospere, on maps I have no graphical problems, but the magnet sensor seams to change it's direction sometimes. Had this on CM10, and now on 4.1 Sense+.
Edit: I mean I have the orientation problem on photosphere. My screen does not flicker.
I have this same exact problem with an HTC One XL. I have not found a fix for it.
I've tried flashing every flavor of jellybean there is. It oddly seems to not happen if I use a sense version of jellybean. But I hate sense and want vanilla android.
AOKP, AOSP, modded, unmodded, doesn't matter. I get this annoying graphics glitch when I try to scroll around using maps or photosphere.
I hope it's not purely hardware related, and that there's an easy software fix for it.

[Q] GPS never really gets fixed

Of all the roms that I've tried, most boasted of a fast GPS lock. It was anything but. Heck, even my old Samsung Galaxy Y gets faster GPS lock. Is it a software problem or a hardware one? Also, does this phone even include a compass? When I DO finally get a lock or use my wifi, I notice that the phone has no sense of direction. Is there an alternative?
I'm never buying from Micromax again.

First of all, Trying new ROM's involves risk! Do not blame Micromax, it's you who made the modifications! if you don't like the ROM's, Go back to Stock JB 4.1! Problem is with your knowledge, and unawareness, not Hardware nor Software.
As for your GPS issue, there are various patches for GPS, you can try that, I'm running UltrimSLIM ROM and having no such problem whatsoever, after flashing a GPS patch!
And our phone does not include compass so there will be no 'Sense of direction'!

I think it was implied that I moved from a stock ROM none of which have fixed the GPS. Its not that I don't like the custom ROMs. I love some of them. I've been trying many to see which one is able to get a lock as fast as most other phones do. Hence, my question.
Is there a problem with the drivers or any part of the software that the devs haven't modded yet? I'm not a very advanced coder so I can't really help yet. Yes, I've flashed patches. To no avail. I have to wait for over 2 minutes with turbo GPS 2 installed.
Another big question is: Why did micromax release a very buggy firmware and not take steps to fix it? 4.1 has memory issues AND GPS lock problem. 4.0 was alright with memory but not GPS. Who knows how 4.4 will be once they FINALLY release it?

Ah, that's what troubling me too!! Read lots of news, posts still no sight of KK. Some fake Firmwares are out there and that's all! And yes, Memory Issues were present in stock firmware!!
But I have to admit that I used Stock JB for 2-3 months and GPS was working fine for me! I even downloaded Sygic Maps that time and since, it became my favorite!
Why don't you try that app and also see YGPS from Engg. mode to see if you are getting a weak signal or no signal at all!
I shall try that then. Thanks
