I am a new user of touchscreen and android phones, so I'm not sure if I'm just being picky with my issues, or if they can be fixed. But if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
1. My phone will randomly mute mid-conversation. I then have to re-enter my password and get back to the phone "app" to un-mute it.
2. When I'm using the camera, if I leave it long enough for the phone to go into sleep mode I can't get it to turn back on. The touch buttons are still highlighted at the bottom of the phone, but the screen is black. I can hear the phone beeping like it is turning back on, but get nothing on the display. I then have to take out the battery, wait for 30-60 sec and then put it back in. Sometimes I have to do this repeatedly before it will start working again.
3. When I try to update the OS in Settings I keep getting the message that the phone cannot connect to the server. However, I have not other problems connecting to any other sites.
4. I added the facebook app and want to remove it now. I have gone into settings > applications and "uninstalled" it. However, the icon is still on my homepage and I can't seem to remove it. When I hold my finger on it a trash bin shows up below. But this only moves it to my apps page.
5. The phone is freezes pretty often. At least a couple times a day.
Ok, this is it for now. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate.
Thanks
I going to guess your still on 2.1 when was 2.1 stock the was way too touchy. The light goes out and you can't get to turn on unless battery pull this a issue found on 2.1 their a 2.2 update coming in late July. Update this on all this option will not work xt720 it not ota compatible so your settings area will not work . Be patient wait for Cincinnati bell update and if your not with them I intend to leak it.

As much as I'm liking my return to 2.1, it does indeed freeze up often, as I recall it did when I first got the phone. (the whole screen goes black, lights on bottom turn on thing)
Facebook app is a stock app and can't be removed unless your rooted.
Never had the mute issue.
The cannot connect to server thing I have had. But it's irrelevant as there shouldn't be any updates to get anyways.
Is updating the OS the best way to improve the performace of my phone? or should I still do the overclocking. If you advise to do the overclocking, should I wait untill I update the OS, or do it now?
There is no update to the OS, except for one that just overclocks from 550 to 720mhz. Chances are you already have that though. I do think that overclocking is a good idea if you want to increase the speed of your phone obviously. 1Ghz is nice and stable.
EDIT: Or do you mean update as in install one of the 2.2 ROMs from here?
I think Queenmantis's problem are related to the original Home app. try some Launcher apps such as Launcher Pro.
for now, my favorite is GoLauncher EX, with the latest update last week, that app totally rock. you guys should try.
I really love Dexter's 2.2, but the short battery life keeps bugging me so I've already went back to 2.1 since last week. I've got no modification except Milestone Overclock + App2Card 2.8.2. Eclair is still so sweet.
Hi I have bluesteel I have modified it some and would put up against any of 2.2 or 2.1 my numbers. Startup 65 memory and regular memory is 70 to 88 program memory and don't freeze and no lag.

Wait for CBW's update if you don't want to root.. If you're open to the idea of rooting your phone, then go ahead and update to Dexter's 2.2, save yourself the headache, then flash one of Khalpowers' ROMs, that should fix you up real good, there's always the option of going back to stock of you don't like the results, or go back to the "official 2.2" from CBW once it's available. But that's just me..

1. Maybe the Proximity sensor for auto turn-off has problems, when you are using the phone, the backlight turn-on and your face or your ear touch the surface and it mute.
2. Obviously this is a hardware problem, you should bring your phone to where you buy it to check.
3. I have the same problem, but I think this is not our phones' fault. Motorola seems not to support this phone anymore.
4. Facebook is considered to be a system app on this phone, you can not remove it. The app call facebook you installed on the phone, just the update of the original facebook app. Don't worry about that.
5. This maybe is relevant with the problem you have in the number 2 - a hardware problem.

Please forgive if there is something wrong above. I'm willing to listen and learn.
thank you

I think most important part of App2Card is partitioning of SD card. I had tried the partitioning tool in App2Card but it never fail to fail . So I partitioned my card as below and I use "Parted" software inside Ubuntu. My SD card is Sandisk 8GB SDHC Class6 card.
1st Partition - FAT32 (7.2 GB)
2nd Partition - EXT3 (512 Mb)
3rd Partition - SWAP (256 Mb)
Create one partition at a time. Don't create everything in one batch.
Then, the card should be ready to use.
now come with the App2Card. Open the app, make sure u grant root access and all, make sure the app detect the card. then close it again. (that might be the trick). And open it again. Just do open and close till the "What's New" pop-up never show up. It might be two or three times. Then click "Install EXT/Transfer apps to EXT" button.
it will install, make the phone reboot and configure.
after the phone is rebooted, open the App2Card to make sure it show no error message. If there's any error message, just try to reboot the phone. It will surely work.
I'm not yet cool enough to post in the actual ROM thread, so here I am...
I really liked the VI ROM, but always had troubles with random lockups, reboots, and 'Process messaging has stopped working' (or something similar to that which occured at nearly every single SMS send attempt). I also didnt like the Quick Boot thing in VI. Sure, I could have fixed these issues, but I don't possess such skillz as yet.
So, I notice today a new ROM (AndroidRevolta [perhaps a more appealign name might be in order? ]) has been released and based on the VI ROM, and would like to know from either the dev / chef, or users, if;
a) using the power button only, can I get an option to boot to recovery, or do I still have to click 'Quick Boot' (which IMHO is anything but), and
b) was anything done to resolve the issue with 'messaging has stopped' ?
XDA policy states that I am not to ask for 'thanks' clicks so that I may one day be deemed cool enough to post in the dev thread, so I won't.
Funny. VI got me addicted to quick boot. Use it on every Rom I flash. Save the power button a bit.

Hi all,
First off, I tried posting this in the Q&A section but it said I did not have permission to do so (even though the rules prohibit you from posting in the developer threads and direct you to the Q&A forum )
I just upgraded my Samsung Infuse to the latest Jelly Bean 4.2 CyanogenMod10 ROM. Everything went smoothly, however, I am noticing a few issues, some of which are quite important:
1- The time is 5 hours ahead. I used network-provided time and the minute is correct, but it is +5 hours. So instead of 2:19PM right now, it's 7:19. If I set it to manual time, it seems to stay correct, but I would prefer to let the network handle it, and as soon as I turn it back on, it changes immediately. So...is it thinking my time zone is incorrect or something?
2- My device isn't syncing with the Google Play website. I access the app on my phone and even started downloading some apps, but when I go to the Play website it says I haven't accessed it from my device yet, and it also says "you have no devices".
3- I swear I am not going crazy, but the first time after upgrading I pulled down the status bar from the top and in the right hand corner there was a button which opened a screen full of widgets to toggle such as bluetooth, sleep, etc, yet now when I do that all I see is the date in the top left corner... where did that other button go?
4- Also not going crazy, but when I upgraded and saw the home screen, all I had was a screen for icons which is great. However, after a few minutes, a bar at the top appeared for Google search/voice. It appears on all of my home screens now, and it appears fixed. I cannot seem to remove it or adjust it at all. Where did this come from and can I remove it? I definitely do not want it there.
So far I am liking this modded ROM of JellyBean and I think everyone who helped make it possible, but if some of these things are in fact glitches, I may have to revert back to ICS (only upgraded to fix the Bluetooth anyway).
I am not sure if any of all of these issues are already known or not, but just looking for some general help.
Many thanks to anyone who can help!
Hey all, for the life of me I cannot figure this out. Its not even a big deal I just want to figure it out. I want to make it clear, I had these issues on the stock ROM as well they just persisted when I upgraded to SlimBean (Samsung Captivate running SlimBean 4.2.1 RC2)
OK so we have these two apps Dragonvale and Manga Watcher. I've contacted both devs and the folks at Dragonvale said its a problem that they have never seen and couldn't really help me since it was something broke on my end. Manga Watcher never got back to me. I figured it would hurt to post here for advice. Basic troubleshooting has been done with both apps (cache cleared, reinstalled, all that)
Anyways, with Dragonvale I don't receive any notifications. Its turned on in the Settings>Apps>App Info and should be fine. All the receivers are on and the push notification thing is running in the background yet I see nothing. They are turned on in the app as well. Its really weird.
Next is Manga Watcher. I am thinking its a messed up wake lock issue. It throws a wake lock out to update my manga and check for new chapters. Its very much not working. It just will not make wake locks like its supposed to, I'm not sure when the problem started but it doesn't even try now. It also has an option to update on start up. In which case it goes bonkers and refreshes itself constantly. Weird right?
Well that about all I can tell you. If there is any other information I can provide, just ask and I will get it.
I'm sorry if this wasn't the proper place for this but I wanted to get some input and see if this is a problem on my end and not the apps.
Thank you. :3

Hi guys,
I'm having the strangest issue that is currently effecting two of my devices.
One is an htc Glacier and the other a htc OneV
Both devices are running KitKat 4.4 and both are unofficial ports of the carbon rom by cyanogen.
Now to my problem, and as the title reads, it's to do with my login pages.
All of my apps and the OS also have a blacked out vale over sign-in pages.
The page it's self is properly loaded, but I cant see most of it, an example is the outlook app, on it's login page, I can see the top blue header saying to add this "type" account, but beneath that is complete black. If I tap around the screen I can randomly access a dialog box that opens the keyboard, but I still don't actually know what I clicked or what is typed.
Making it almost impossible to sign-in to anything.
The strange part is it came out of the blue, to both devices. Nether started out this way, but now both have it.
In my attempts to figure this out I completely crashed the OS of the Glacier to the point of not booting, so in frustration I wiped all the partitions and reflashed the rom and upon Booting into the OS for the first time, to my surprise, the setup wizard had a blacked out login page
I've googled this every way I can think of and haven't pulled a single useful result, so by now I'm totally and completely dumbfounded and have accepted I cant fix this on my own, so here I sit explaining this to you guys, hoping someone higher up the ladder of knowledge then my self can intervene before I go crazy!
Thanks in advance!
I have to admit, it's a tad alarming nobody has come forward with even an idea of what happened to my devices. starting to be really concerned I cant make it go away.
I realised way after I posted this question that I put it in the wrong section, could that be why I'm not finding the help I'm looking for?
If so could a Mod please move the thread, I hate creating dups in a forum.
I suppose by this point help is never coming so I'm throwing in the towel and starting from scratch on both devices.
It was without a doubt something I did that caused my issues. I suspect probably one of the sys apps I removed was being leveraged to display those pages, but I cant figure out which one it was.
Since the standard wipe reflash didnt fix it last time, I'm hoping that a full wipe of the system partition and remaining partitions then reflashing the os will restore what I so quickly destroyed.
Lots learned because of my own stupidity, mainly, dont be stupid, stupid.
Thanks.... oh wait, for nothing... see ya on my next blunder
