Hello,
I am using a Non rooted Rogers canada samsung captivate.
I recently upgraded through KIES to Froyo.
The two issues I am having are:
1) Wifi, i use juice defendor, so when i enter my house wifi is enabled automatically, many times, there is an error, and i cant click wifi on until a reboot, then it works fine for a while until it will happen again.
2) The notification bar doesn't slide down at times, and the only way to fix this is by rebooting. These two things are very annoying as they happen on a daily basis, or every other day.
I have seen these issues happen to others, so I know im not the only one, but I cant find a solution anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated.
anything i can do? would a factory reset help and a full reinstall?

It might but to be honest I have never seen a stock rom that is not buggier then any custom rom i have run. What you could try is start from scratch and see if the prob happens on an out of the box set up. If it does then it is an issue with the rom, if not then install your apps one by one to see if one of them is covering it. My advice? Grab one of the custom roms build from the Rogers 2.2 update like Cog or Firefly.
Try uninstalling juice defender.
I had the same problem with notification panel not sliding down after installing juice defender. I uninstalled it and the problem went away.
Did you solve the problem with the notification dropdown? Was it Juice Defender? I am experiencing the same issue.
I have problem number 2 too. No juice defender or any power saving tool or what not running in the background. Happens only once in a while although so its not killing me
Same problem here. I can't pin it to a specific program. But I think it has something to do with a certain notification because it always does it when I download a program or install a new program.
I've experienced both but after OCLF (which requires root) the notification bar issue doesn't happen. I've recently moved on to a stock kernel injected with voodoo lagfix (courtesy of supercurio) after having tried speedmod which gave me horrible battery life.
My battery life is good enough that I just leave wifi on all the time to avoid issue #1. When the wifi issue happened, going to airplane mode and back would fix it too without a full reboot.
k the best thing to do in your situation as people new to xda is if you are unrooted and want to stay that way go into the rogers store and say your touchscreen is buggy which to me seems like the issue you are having. also if your on the stock rogers 2.2 as i was for a coupple months all i can tell you is that its super buggy (as you could probobly tell from that terror they called an install). if your confident and want to get your feet wet with a great custom rom i would go with firefly that should fix any issues you have its a fuly stable final release and best part its based on rogers software not at&t so it will work flawlessly with the network and most likley fix any problems you are having
Don't use 100% pure stock
Use tweaked - with EXT4 LagFix, OC/UV, Sideloading enabled, rooted, VoodooSound, with GPS fixes.
Older Cognition 3.4 was Rogers based - I can recommend that.
I just upgraded to cm7 and now sometimes when I try to install an app from an apk file it wont let me hit the install button.
If I am using Amazon appstore it works, the same type of screen comes up and I can install stuff. But when installing from a downloaded apk (like from here) the button just doesn't work... it isn't greyed out or anything but is simply unresponsive.

Hey I have this same problem, did you ever figure out this issue? Thanks!
Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this issue, I'm having the same problem
Bump this
Problem persists on my phone as well. Brand new Droid X2 stock ROM rooted with zergrush kit including busybox, superuser, and recently installed: nobloat free, droidwall, SD Booster, blade buddy, spare parts+, and setcpu (which is pretty much useless without a custom ROM that has the kernel to support it)
Edit: make sure unknown sources is checked under app settings =]
Edit again: NOPE still a problem =[
Edit again: FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Simply turn off your screen filter! =D (I don't know why, but that WAS my problem 100%)
Hi all, I'm facing the same problem, but I don't have screen filter installed. What else have you tried?
Here's my main post about this.
I've also heard that Juice Defender can cause this problem. Sadly, like you, I still can't fix it on my phone!
Anyone?
AHA! I found mine! TEAM Battery Bar. It's a spectacular app; if you've not gotten it yet, I highly recommend it. I just turned it off within the app itself, (I checked running apps to give me a clue,) and the installer button worked.
After hearing about several display-related apps causing the problem, I looked for those on my phone. TEAM Battery Bar does indeed run a constant display item, so I think that's the key. I'll notify the dev. He's pretty responsive.
I can confirm: disabling TEAM Battery Bar solve the problem! thanks

Thanks, that fixed my problem on my Galaxy S2 with LPQ ICS rom. Probably should report it to the dev for fixing...
in my case Juice Defender was a problem, since I don't have any screen filters installed
uninstalling Juice Defender fixed my phone
EDIT Friend of mine has the same phone (SGS2) with the same ROM installed, JD never caused any problems with his phone
The only difference between my JD settings and his - I got brightness control enabled, so maybe that was a problem, not JD itself

I'm currently on SGS2 rooted stock LPQ and just figured it out myself that Screen Filter is actually doing something so that the install button cant be pressed. Has anyone informed the dev?
Edit: just mailed the dev of Screen Filter hoping for confirmation and fix
'Lux Auto Brightness' is causing the same issue, so seems that all the applications trying to adjust screen brightness will cause the issue.
By the moment I disable it, I am able again to install apks... really weird
Also, not clear why only the install button is effectively disabled, as cancel bitton works and the 'show all perms' drop down , also works

Good call! That was the exact app that was causing me problems as well. Here's hoping to a quick fix!

i encountered the same issue and after reading your post and searching hard on my n7000, i finally found what causes it...on my n7000 it was glove box. After uninstalling my phone is back to normal again

Thanks for all the infos, guys. For me, it was both Lux Auto Brightness and Twilight. I disabled them using task manager and everything went smoothly from that. Explains why no matter how much I reboot, it doesn't fix things. I also have avast Mobile Antivirus installed and it has a constant display notification but it doesn't cause any issues. I am guessing it has something to do with code wired to the phone's hardware? As all the apps causing problems had to do with overlapping device setting control over screen brightness or hue.
For the past couple of weeks my stock unrooted Transformer has been telling me there is a system firmware update available and to check notifications. But notifications never shows this update and the Check Update button is disabled. Any known solutions to this frustrating situation short of (yet another) factory reset? Thanks.
Come on can't anyone help this guy?
Bumped to make sure this guy gets an answer. I don't know the answer but I know someone here does.

Bumping every hour is a bit much imo...
Try this:
Goto Settings > Applications > All > Scroll down to DMClient > Clear Cache and Clear Data and Force Stop
Reboot the TF and check for updates again
Found here: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-general-discussions/9026-please-help-me-update-issue.html
Im sorry. I was trying to be helpful as I didn't have the answer
The notification will be in the bottom right corner i believe it is an aarow.

Thanks everyone for your help. Once I cleared the data and forced stop DMClient (the cache was already empty) and rebooted I can use the Check Update button again. Unfortunately it makes no difference - it tells me a system firmware update is available but it never appears in the notification area. Other notifications appear fine and I have in the past been able to update the firmware this way but not this time.
Doesn't Asus eventually make these firmware updates available on their website? Hate to do another factory reset as getting everything back to the way it was is a major pain. That's why I was looking forward to a working Asus backup with the new firmware. Oh well, my Transformer has always hated me and the feeling is pretty much mutual these days.

Is your battery over 50% at the moment? Because that is another requirement, also you can try a reboot with adapter connected and battery over 50%.
Good luck!
Thanks. My battery had been fully charged previously but I tried again with it plugged in and the dock removed. Still no notification. Tried turning notifications off/on, cleared data and forced stopped DMClient and restarted several times. No notification.
1.) Every time im in the middle of texting with someone in the stock messaging app my keyboard just starts to freeze and lag out like crazy. I thought I fixed this problem but turning off power saving mode but it only helped a little bit
2.) This is probably a well known issue with the phone but every time I get a text message my screen turns on! Its really annoying and im not sure if there is a fix for this yet but if there is please help!
3.) When I set custom vibrations for my phone every time I get a text message it still just ends up as the basic call vibration. I tried using all of the other vibrations in the phone but it always just goes back to the basic vibration when I get a text message but when I get a phone call thats when it uses the custom vibrate tone
Im not sure if anyone could help with these issues but if so please leave feed back! I really hope im not the only person with these problems so if there is a patch that these things get fixed! I love this phone and everything but these glitches are starting to get annoying.
You should try different rom... I hope it can solvr ur problem...
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
honestly i think that either you can reflash stock rom, or a custom rom, and btw, are you stock or are you using something like synergy or beans?
Well thats the thing im 100% stock right now. Im not rooted or anything. If I root will that fix all my problems?
SMS Popup
For the text message issue, just use SMS Popup from the play store (its way better than the stock anyway) then turn off the notifications in the settings of the stock sms and then your screen won't turn on, Hopefully that will help you. Also, you can set custom ringtones for contacts... possibly custom vibrations.
Another options is to install GoSMS from the market, think it has options for all your problems.

Is there any way to make go sms look like stock? To be honest I LOVE the stock messaging app =/ I never used go sms but ill try it out
You like the stock messaging app? Man, I hate it!
Have you considered doing a factory reset of your phone? You'll loose your data/apps but these issues really shouldn't be there. Rather than working around the freezing issues etc., I would start fresh first. Then you can experiment with alternative apps and so on...

It's super customizable make sure you go through the all the menus (eg you can change notification icon to look like stock)
There are a handful of themes you get with app including some dark ones.

So just as an update I tried doing a factor reset and nothing was fixed =/

well you can try the gosms app from play store... rooting and trying a stock rom like nosympathy's rooted stock can help tons, swiftkey is your best frind when it comes to typing, and custom roms like synergy or aosp roms are crazy fast (i know as i have flashed all of the roms from verizon's development forum so far,), and suggest adfree if you want to use gosms, or use synergy's 1.1 or 1.2 rom. they are lag free

Well, if you reset/wipe everything, even though you aren't rooted there are ways to get all your apps back automatically - I believe when you set up your phone it even asks if you would like to "Restore your settings" when you sign into your Google account. However... I don't really recommend it. Since you're having trouble right now, I think it would be a great idea to just WIPE it clean, and have a fresh start. See if your phone works great as it is (cause it could always be some app causing problems too..)
Installing apps is really easy - all you have to do is go to http://play.google.com (once you sign into the play store and accept the terms on your phone) and go to "My Apps", and it'll show you everything you have downloaded in the past. Anything you want to install, you can just click "INSTALL" on your computer and it'll automatically send it to your phone!!
When you have a large amount of apps to install, I find this way far easier than searching for each one on your phone

This really helped thanks! As for the entire wiping thing I find that my texting is improved as in the keyboard lags far FAR less now. I still have the same 2 problems where my vibration cannot be changed while getting notifications and my screen still turns on every time I get a text message.
If you install handcent it's very good, plus it stops that turn screen on, also just go into settings if you want disable the pop up msging too.

Your phone has a problem, since none of these are issues on mine. You probably want to wipe and start over. Or you could root your phone, install Titanium backup, and use that to backup all of your apps. Then wipe, reinstall TB, and reinstall the apps. I'm running the Synergy ROM and it's awesome.
Ok, so yesterday my Infinity just randomly started reading out all the content of my internet browser (both ICS browser and Chrome), I haven't noticed it anywhere but in the browsers at this point. I've disabled TalkBack, tried uninstalling every app I installed yesterday incase one of them was the cause, reset the settings in both browsers, flushed my caches, and did a cold boot. Still reading out.
I found that if I disable whatever text-to-speech engine is currently being used (either default Google or IVONA) it obviously won't readout, but you can still see where it is "highlighting" the text in the browser that it is attempting to read.
This is thoroughly annoying not just because of it reading, but also because when it is reading something it makes browser navigation extremely buggy.
I'm at a loss right now. I don't know what else to do other than a factory reset, but would really rather avoid that if I can. Any ideas?
Side Note: If I were to do a factory reset, would I lose root?
Thanks.
I gave up and just did a factory reset. This seems to have alleviated the problem for now. I'm just hoping that it wasn't caused by one of the apps I had installed, because I'm in the process of re-installing them now.
I haven't spotted a toggle for the text-to-speech engine yet, so it might be one of your apps that toggled it. (Under Settings you can choose a different engine if you have one installed, but there's no toggle. <?> )

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too (one of my apps must have triggered it). So far so good on after the factory reset though. I had tried installing IVONA to see if that woudl give me an option to disable it, but all it did was give me a more pleasant voice to listen to

Hi;
I got an ASUS AF700 and it just started to talk to me, reading and highlighting my browsers and other apps.
Did you guys ever figure it out?

You can disable "Talkback app" using Titanium backup (if you rooted) or go into settings -> Accessibility --> Under Services, tab on Talkback and turn it off.

You already asked this a few days ago. Do you ever read the answers people post in reply to your questions?
I just disabled the thing in apps/all on day 1, toggling it to 'on' under settings/accessibility has no effect whatsoever.
