My V21e Update

To anyone who cares or was questioning the update. My update is running very smooth, GPS updates super quick, battery life has improved and all my apps are working perfectly. I must be lucky.
First of all, previously to the update I was running CM7 RC-1 with morfics kernel which ran great first of all. But of course i wanted to update to an "official" if you want to call it that.
This is the guide I followed thanks to TGA_Gunmann for posting first.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/23/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2x/
I made sure all the steps went exactly as they were supposed to. And i followed them perfectly.
Now i have this.
My version of OS im running.

Battery
Battery life with my normal to moderate usage. It has been better than my experience with froyo.
Been using this all day as well. Widget and background (bg is a Live Wallpaper also)
If someone were to ask me if they should update, My answer would be yes. I have not had any problems yet. Just make sure you follow the instructions CAREFULLY! Maybe someone will find this at least a little useful.

People are complaining but I rather have the update than be stuck on 2.2. Only. Things worth noticing is the stock camera, but we have to wait 4 more months on the update.

Mine went fine as well but I un-rooted first via 1-click, then did a factory reset, and unmounted interanl SD and format before I attempted. BTW, my battery is about the same but have you been able to uncleck the 2G and have it stick? Mine keeps checking the 2G box.

I haven't had any problems with unchecking the box. Mine has been fine Also. You can see in my pics. I have 4g. I almost always do.

Sorry if I made it confusing. I do have 4G but only notice the 2G check box in the setting cannot be cleared and stick. That's all.

I now notice it only seems to get stuck in the checked position if there is also active wifi connection, otherwise, if the phone is on 4G, the 2G box can be checked/unchecked and the selection sticks.

I agree if anyone wants to update they should, but the only down fall is losing the nice LG camera. That is the only reason I went back. I take a lot of photos of my son who is 2 years old and I need crystal clear pictures like you get with the LG Camera. I think if you want a stable gb rom, do the update. If you want the LG Camera like I do then do not do the update. Just my two cents.

I can agree. I noticed the camera was a little dark. But I can deal without it. I take meaningless pictures unlike you. Pictures of your son is a good reason to go black. I would probably also jump on board if I were to be using it for tthe same.reason

It also happens on mine when wifi calling is active.
I got "4G" back after wifi is turned off.

Just install the latest CM7 nightly. GB without the bull****. Stopped my SODs and reboots.

[Q] Several Issues

Not enjoying my Nexus 5 too much and going back to Nexus 4.
Nexus 5 is set up the exact same way as Nexus 4 but issues.
Bluetooth randomly disconnects.
Phone randomly reboots itself (every couple of hours or so).
HD Widgets on home screen take up to a minute to display on first logon.
None of these issues on Nexus 4.
:crying:
Anyone else getting similar issues?
<edit>
After spending many hours trying to resolve this I have concluded it is a hardware fault.
Main issues were related.
Also HD widget is fine so long as not on default home screen. If it is then it takes while to fully load.
The bluetooth randomly disconnecting (when used with car system) was the device rebooting itself and not a bluetooth issue.
A couple of new issues appeared:
1. Rebooted when I was logged in even after all active apps had been uninstalled (previously it had only rebooted when screen was sleeping).
2. A couple of times now it as shut down completely and refused to start again.
Booting to recovery worked and then booted normally afterwards.
I have factory reset it and still doing the same thing (random reboots mostly when screen is sleeping).
I have found others having the same issues (including one in this forum)
Returning to Google to replace.
</edit>
<edit 2>
Replacement Phone Delivered in less than 30 hours. Thank you Google and Parcel Force.
All apps restored though Titanium Backup and all tested and working well.
Now my Nexus 5 is working properly I am loving it. Fantastic Phone.
</edit 2>

nope, my device is pretty much perfect
HD Widgets not loading quickly is the developer's fault, but the phone's...and if you are getting random reboots, something you've installed is mucking up the system
wait for apps to be 4.4 optimised before complaining about the phone

What???
This is forum and I am writing down my experiences.
I can put down what I want.
And you know it is not the phones fault how? Maybe I have a faulty one?
Now I love nexus and android but fanboy crap like that really annoys me.

When in doubt....factory reset(or clean flash if this is a custom ROM). There are tons of apps on the Play Store that would seem to do no harm but could cause all of these issues.

I dont think that was fanboy crap....seemed like spot on advice....

Fanboy crap or not, the point is valid. If you're having random reboots it is caused by software 99% of the time. Go through the list of apps you've installed and begin uninstalling them one at a time, waiting to see if you're getting reboots in between. Good luck.

Go back to stock with no apps for a day and see if the problem continues. If it does then maybe it's the phone. If not, it was an app. New software always has issues either in itself or working with other apps. Why do people expect it to be perfect?

Yes, thanks, I am aware of how to debug a system be it a PC or a phone.
Blanket statements are no help at all.
I asked if anyone else had similar issues.
Maybe they do and they suspect an app.
I suspected HD widgets but it shut down completely with them disabled.
As sure as you are it is software it could just as likely be hardware.
Seems most likely to do it when it goes to sleep or screen is off.

No need to toss attitude around. If you're aware how to debug, then get it done and tell us what the issue was - you'll probably save someone else who finds this thread from going through the same process.

I am using HD Widgets (with clock and weather and a second widget with switches) and had not a single unwanted reboot or other issues with my phone and I am playing around since monday morning.

Seem to be when the screen is off that it reboots.
I have display set to sleep after 10 minutes of activity.
I have set security et to automatically lock after 5 minutes of sleep.
I have it set so the power button does *not* instantly lock.
If I click power button to shut off screen it auto reboots within 3 minutes of doing so.
So it does not appear that it is the sleep process that is causing the reboot.
Going to time this.

Very helpful. Thanks.
Exactly as I was using it.
As an aside, do you have them on the home screen.
If so have you noticed any delay in them appearing when logging in (egg timer)?

I have the clock and weather widget on my homescreen (not lockscreen) and after a reboot it takes a little time to initialize as on my Desire HD before (but much faster now). After turning on the screen, it's just there as it should be. Btw: using Nova Launcher, because I like it and bought it.

You may not like their suggestion but that doesn't make it invalid. If you REALLY want to get to the bottom of whether this is hardware or software do a factory reset and leave it stock for a few hours. Question answered.

I've only had one issue, hangout force closed within 15 mins of the phone being on. Nothing since.

It is not that I do not like the suggestion.
I am prepared for the long haul to find the solution and I will find it.
But Jumping to assumptions that is is the software and stating that is is something I installed that is mucking up the system is of no help.
Then to state I should wait until apps are 4.4 optimised before I complain adds further insult.
This si close to fanboy talk and pisses me off.
I am factual and do not assume anything.
If someone has nothing of value to say then keep it zipped. Simple.

Ghost touches, Invisible finger, Unresponsive screen

EDIT 1: I used PayPal Buyers protection to get my money back and I sent the device back to Oneplus one. So as from today I don't have this device anymore
EDIT 2: I orderd a device again made on 20/09/2014 and Haven't had a single swipe, ghost touch etc (Previous one was made on 15/06/14)
EDIT 3: The device made on 20/09 started getting ghost swipes a well, now It's the same this as with the previous device!!
Edit 4: Both devices started having this after a really hot day!

I am pretty sure that they will not be able to fix this. With my Xiaomi I hoped for a patch over 6 months and it never came because it was hardware related.

Hi mate... i really think it's an hardware problem... maybe we need to do an RMA.

This kind of problems have already touched several smartphones and tablets (ie. Nexus 7). They have never been fixed in all devices by software.
The only thing we can do about this problem is that it reaches OnePlus somehow. If we keep complaining about it on the JIRA and this forum, maybe it will.
So that they will maybe fix it in some Revision B of the phone or the next one.

I sent a RMA request I hope they will respond soon and with a good response.
I will keep you guys updated

thanks mate... I think i will do the same

It's software problem. No point in doing a rma.

You are kidding right? Have you even opened the links, I waited 6 months for a fix on my xiaomi it didn't get solved because it is hardware problem.
I think it would be too much of a coincidence that this phone also has it and that I am being told that it is software/kernel related again.
Also why are some people having this problem and others don't!

Just read the entire thread and wow... no single response from OP. I've asked for a return, the touchscreen thing is a total deal breaker for me
After the resolution of BACON-55 I've taken a look at the github repos and I haven't seen any commit related to the synaptics drivers, which is where the fix would presumably go.

This is driving me crazy, i tried other roms etc, but I also got them in recovery... The strange thing is me and my friends got 8 xiaomi m2s and 3 of them had exactly the same problem. So is this something a lot of android devices suffer from? Is it due overheating, faulty screen or something else? I am a really intensive user so the phone gets hot allot but i would assume they are built to deal with this.

Still no RMA response If I don't get a response soon i should contact paypall buyers protection?

I've order it and waiting(no time as they gave me a tracking number), we will see. Also I'm in a worse condition as I live in Greece and OP doesn't sent to Greece so I did the following:
I have a good buddy in Netherlands, he'll get the phone and send it over to me
P.S. carburano are you having the same nick in the OP forum?

Hi, I don't own this phone, but I have a theory maybe? I know a lot of the phones come with the glue not totally dried, so if you use the phone a lot and it gets really hot, then maybe it thinks that someone is laying a hot hand on the screen?

Same issue
I got the One plus from Swappa and the seller is in touch with a guy named Andy from One plus
They asked me to flash the nightly and see if fixes the issue. I tried it but to no avail.
Flashed the following roms before that.
Latest factory firmware from one plus one
Mahdi Rom
PA official build
still the touchscreen is not responding with ghost touches. which is very annoying TBH
I could easily reproduce this by accessing recovery and rebooting again, and even on TWRP touch doesn't work sometimes and plagued with ghost touches so i had to install Philz recovery.
Then i switched to ART as a final attempt, which seems to have fixed the problem..not sure cause this issue happens randomly i will have to Test more
I'm running the Latest nightly for bacon CM11. its very annoying that they didnt test for these problems considering this was one of the most high profile phone launches in the history.

Note 5 Memory Management

As many of you know a lot of folks have posted about the RAM management issues on their Galaxy Note 5 devices. The issue is that apps are closed prematurely despite the Note 5 having the most RAM available to any Android device to date. This also seems to effect the Galaxy 6, Galaxy 6 Edge, and Galaxy 6 Edge+ devices. Since Verizon (and AT&T) have locked down their boot loaders there is no way to obtain root and fix the problem. We are left waiting on Samsung for a fix (if it ever comes). This may not seem like a big issue to a lot of folks but I often run several apps in the background (Skype, Exchange client, K-9 Mail, Lync, Life 360, Spotify) and I can't afford having them shut down by an over aggressive RAM management.
How many of you have experienced the issue?
Has anyone been running several apps in the background and not had this issue happen?
Has anyone found a fix that will work with Verizon/AT&T devices with locked boot loaders?
Any word from Samsung as to a fix?
Here are links detailing the issue in case you are not familiar ...

I got my N5 and have my s6 to my son. I have noticed little to no lag on my N5 but it was bad on the s6.

Sorry, not much help. I have noticed it kicking apps out of RAM, but they load so quickly it's not a big deal. Still annoying though given the amount of ram. I run tasker, yaata, and adblock, so I'm wondering if that might be making it worse for me. But again, at least this phone loads apps crazy fast.

I'm using note 5 and it frequently kills my swype keyboard. I frequently have to wait for about 5 seconds for the keyboard to load and have a Google search. You can imagine how frustrating it is

I don't have that issue either but that might have something to do with me being on Sprint and not Verizon.
Not sure how I ended up here, sorry.

Been following for a while. Thought I would contribute. Yes a fix is coming in 6.0 for us from what I keep seeing about the ram management. It sucks.
I run chromecast with YouTube and the issue arises when I try to go use the notification to pause the videos that are autoplaying.... Nothing happens because youtube is closed in the background. I have to reopen youtube and wait for it to load and catch up the I can pause. Happens with chrome as well. I will read something or type something in a form on a page and if left for a little with no attention it will have to reload the page after resuming chrome due to it closing out. The whole point of the window button is to close them when you don't need them anymore.
Can't wait for a fix!

Been following for a while. Thought I would contribute. Yes a fix is coming in 6.0 for us from what I keep seeing about the ram management. It sucks.

No inside scoop for us. Just what I've been reading shows its been delayed from this month to beginning of this year in Q1.

First time posting so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I've been having the complete opposite problem then the one described in this thread, my phone is actually running out of RAM available and having to re launch my launcher... About once a day I have to restart my phone just to be able to unlock the device because it gets that bad. I've tried searching other forums but none seem to have helped.
I'm currently rooted on a Canadian note 5 running rapture ROM and with the arter97 kernel.
I've included a screenshot of what I'm dealing with right before I need to reboot the device.
Thanks for looking

Your problems are more than likely because of the 'root'.. It shouldn't need to use all 4gb of ram! You probably have that deep sleep issue because you tripped your Knox counter.. However, you might find better help in the Canadian thread instead of the Verizon thread...

MI4C Mobile network signal issue

Hi All.
The MI4C worked like a charm for around 4 - 6 months without any issue. Then I have been playing around with custom roms on my MI4C for some time and I was able to run CM-13.1 successfully. There was no problem at all regarding the mobile network strength and its sustainability. Managed to get it running on CM-13.1 for around 2 weeks and suddenly without any warnings the signal issue came up. The signal shows for some time and goes away and never comes back. It rarely shows bars on the signal. Once signal bars are displayed it quickly goes off any the mobile will always be unreachable for any call or sms. 95% of the time the mobile is unreachable.
These are the things that I have already tried.
- I have already unlocked the phone from MiFlashUnlock
- I also have installed the latest of TWRP as the recovery
- Wiped the device many times in the advance wipe mode on TWRP ticking all the possible ticks.
- I tried buying a new casnig which comes with a new SIM tray just to see if it still works. BTW - There were no physical damage or any sort of thing on the phone at all.
- I also have tried flashing the modem from the same version installed, but still no luck.
- I have tried installing the developer version of MIUI, the stable version, global version, RessurectionRemix, TeamSuperluminal all ROMS shows the same network issue.
I am sure this should be a thing which could be fixed from the software side. because it worked well without any issue before trying cm13.1. Before it had the stable version of MIUI.
This is the current ROM i have on the phone.

Thanks in Advance

Cm 13.1 is known for having mobile signal issues.
I don't understand why going back to miui did not worked. Maybe it is a hardware problem after all.

Yes. I tried with many SIMs

I found this. Maybe you corrupted your imei. There are multiple reason why its not working. You have to investigate each and every one.

sorry for bumping into this thread after so many months, but have you solved your problem? Because I have the exact same issue and I can't figure a solution out, I tried different roms (AICP, LOS, AOSP, then back to Miui) with no effect.
What's even weirder, this issue came from nowhere, one day everything was fine and the following day the signal got so much worse.
My sim works fine in another phone.

No solution found. The phone is still there with the issue without any change. Bought a new phone so gave up finding a solution to it.

The same Problem occured to me a few months ago. The signal was suddenly gone and never came back no matter what rom I tried. I was quite desperate and even changed the antenna cable but that did not help either.
What a shame. I really like the phone but because of this signal problem it's kinda useseless.

same problem with me, and same no solutions....
