Just installed kitkat 4.4.4 using touchpad toolbox a couple of days ago. Been having problems with loading pages . pages start to load and just get about halfway and freeze. Then must clear page and start over.
Also having problem with sleep mode. If i just tap the power button to leave in sleep mode it will after a short time completely shut down. Forcing me to hold the ppwer and home buttons down till it booots up.
Also unchecked box for keyboard sound, but still making that stupid clicking when I tap keys.
The sleep mode problem and the keyboard problem started the second day of use. Not at first.
Should i try to re install it? Or try another build?
Thanks.

Hi all, I'm one of the "new to the gtablet world thaks to Woot" crew. First, thanks for what you all do here, it's a great resource.
I've managed to install the TnT Lite v4.3.0 wthout any problems and everything seems to be running well. My question is, when i hit the power button on the side, it shuts the tablet down and to turn it back on i have to hold the power button down and it has to go through the entire boot process.
Maybe thats what it is suppose to do, but being used to my iphone i imaged it would just turn off the screen and hn bring back up the lock screeen whn it was pushed again. Am i wrong or did i do something wrong when installing? Is it a setting change?
I know this question may be dumb, I'm not as tech-ignorant as this post may make it seem.
Thanks again.
A long press on the Power button should power it up. Once it's gone through the full boot cycle, a short press on the Power button should put it into sleep mode. When in sleep mode, another short press should bring it back to wake mode. A long press on Power while the gTab is fully awake should bring up a dialog box that asks what you want to do, go into Airplane Mode, Shutdown, etc. If you choose shutdown, you'll get another dialog box that asks you to confirm with a yes/no.
I am using the Stock Enhancement so maybe it works differently from yours but mine has functioned this way consistently from the time I got it, even before I loaded the Stock Enhancement.
did you try to press the "power" button lightly. when you press it lightly, it should just turn off the screen. If you press the power button and hold it for a sec, you should see a popup choice (shutdown, sleep, air mode, etc). I agree that the power button is a little sensitive to me as well and I have been using mine for 3 months and it is getting a little bit "wear".
So, it is just my solution, and it may or may not work for you. Since you are running tnt lite (not working on Vegan rom). You can download an app from android market called "Tap Tap App" power button (free)
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.maicas.android.wsleep&feature=search_result
and it will place a icon to your screen or notification bar. It basically turns off your screen, and you can press the volume buttons to turn the screen back on. I have been using this solution for a month now, and have no issues so far.
I'm pushing the button very lightly, and it appears to shut the machine down, or makes it unesponsive. Then I have to hold it down for quite a while to get it to do anything, which makes the machine reboot. When i hold down the botton (when the machine is on) I do get the options, and can put it ito sleep mode that way, and then a light touch will turn it back on. But obviously this is not the way it is suppose to run.
Is there a way to reinstall TnT or shoul i try one of the other ROMS?
Actually I think that is a problem with 4.30. If you install clemsyn's kernel it should fix it. Pershoot's may work too but I only tried clemsyn's.
It sounds like a sleep-wake issue. Like wall_fodder said, you can try to install Clemsyn or pershoot kernel. before you do install the kernel or reflash it, make a backup through clockworkmod and use titanium to backup your apps and data.
I am using 4.2.5 and very stable. Yes, you can reflash it with 4.2.x or vegan 5.1 through clockworkmod.

thanks, is there a step by step on this someplace?
hey all, thanks again, i restarted it in recovery mode and now everything works fine, nothing new installed or changed. Thanks so much...
I heard mixed results about 4.3.0 and sleep. For me, it works (as well as others). But some have reported issues. I'm not sure why that is -- maybe a data wipe is needed?
fyi, the recover reboot only helped the sleep issue for about two presses of the sleep button. However, I installed the Clemsyn kernel through Clockwork Mod and now it works great (after several tests). I had installed tnt 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 directly without CWM. So installed CWM on top of tnt4.3.1 then installed Clemsyn. Probably not the correct way to do it, but everything is working right now.
Lots of hail marys from this newbie while i was doing it though.
the menu keeps popping up erratically and spontaneously, sometimes it does it a few times then stop then few minutes later it just goes on a spree, so everytime i try to do something the menu pop brings me back to the home screen and exits out whatever im doing and its annoying. At first i thought it was a software bug so i updated 2.3.4, so then I flash it to cm 7, and the same thing is still happening
is there a way to disable the menu button on the g2x?
Hi - I have tried multiple Lollipop based ROMs on my OPO. All the Lollipop ROMs have exhibited the same failure on my OPO: When the phone wakes up, I will randomly see a totally black - and basically unusable - desktop, but have a fully working Status Bar and working pull-down Navigation Bar. Holding the power button also brings up the shut-down options. so, I know that my phone isn't dead or frozen, I just can't see anything on my desktop. If I press the power button momentarily to lock the phone, I will see the unlock 3x3 pattern grid when I power on, and I can unlock the phone - but, I see a black desktop.
I recently loaded the official CM12 nightlies, and I am seeing the exact same thing. One thing I have finally determined (which I suspected previously), is that there was some sort of App crash during the phone sleep that had a pop-up message on the screen when the phone woke up. After a lot of random finger mashing and loud screaming at the phone, I saw my desktop again, and saw that "Google App" had crashed. After clearing the error pop-up, my phone has worked fine without rebooting ... for now.
The problem with this is that the black desktops become more frequent as time progressed, eventually reaching the point where I would reboot my OPO and it would power up to a black desktop. In the past, I occasionally saw a flash that looked like a pop-up message before the black desktop, and now I have confirmed that is what is happening.
Does anybody know what is going on?
The problem can be the gapps package you're flashing. Try another one.

Thanks! Do you have a suggested gapps I should try? I loaded pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.0.1-BETA7-20150111a-signed with this build.
Hello everyone, I have just recently bought this Lenovo A5000, everything was perfect until i did a mistake today, just an hour ago. I will list step by step how i encountered the problem below.
1. I did some search on the net about hidden code or secret code for service menu(for lenovo)
2. I found some then i tried this code ####999# then all of sudden the screen changed to multiple [email protected] testing followed by microphone test, then camera test then some other test. It keeps repeating and does not stop.
3.I tried to press whatever key is available along with home menu or multitasking hot key but no avail. It keeps repeating and repeating, Pressing on/off power button also not working.
4. The only things that work is, i was able to scroll down for hidden menu as we do on all android phone. I can go to settings but only settings display etc. I tried to search for the running service test on running programs under the apps menu but nothing. I also tried to press power off/on button here but no avail.(please take note thatthe service test still running at the background during this time).
5.Finally when i tried to close any running systems apps i managed to get into dialling menu. but again i just leave it here because the service test does not seems to work here.
6. Lastly when i look at my phone, it was already black in screen that i believe it was in sleep mode but when i press any button this phone doesnt awake. tried to press the power on/off longer but no avail. unfortunately i cant pull of the battery because it was not removable.
Hopefully anyone of you can suggest me how i can revert it back to normal. Really this is unexpected. I ONLY pressed ####999# and voila [email protected] test started. I appreciate much your help guys. Thanks
NOTE;
I dont know where i get the idea but, as i said above, the phone goes to sleep with no response. What i did a few minutes ago ,
1.Press the power on/off button and keep pressing the volume up several times followed with volume down then release.
Then Lenovo logo comes up, then VOILA! my phone was normal again.
Anyway i will always give a credit to XDA forum for many valuable tips and knowledge that i learned before. Thanks
An hour or so ago everything worked fine, and then I updated my playstores pending apps (only Fleksy was pending) and the "force touch" feature of the phones seems to have completely stopped working, no matter what setting I turned on or off it didn't work...
Anyone has a clue as to what can cause this?
General notes:
1. Using stock Exynos unlocked variant
2. I am using package disabler (which btw didn't improve much my battery life, but that might be just me using the phone too much ) so maybe one of the packages decided that it depends on a disabled one?
I noticed mine stops working after a reboot and takes about a minute or two to get back up and running. Try a restart after clearing caches, if nothing still, reboot in safe mode. If it works, then its an app you installed interfering.

Mine also stop working after I restart my S8 Plus, it will again work if I wait around 20 minutes. Is this software or hardware problem? Any solutions?
Wish mine would stop working permanently! can't stand that feature forever brushing across it and waking the phone up!

How does it act up on your part? Mine would just stop working if I restart the phone & I should wait sometimes hours before it would work again.
Every time i'm installing my phone in my car mount I need to hold the phone from the bottom to install it correctly and brushing my fingers across the bottom is constantly waking the phone up, I've lowered the sensitivity to it's minimum.

I see, problem is not the same. On my part the tactile home button simply doesn't work when you press on it. I have to double tap to wake the phone when on lockscreen.

Unless your phone is unlocked no pins etc the phone will just go to the lockscreen, it's a useless feature, most people have the phones locked and thus it's a complete waste of time, it sounds to me the capacitive home button part of the screen was an afterthought because they couldn't install the fingerprint reader under the screen, just had a software update yesterday and still can't turn it off, basic stuff Samsung should enable an ON/OFF toggle switch for this.
Had the same problem with my S8 Plus India Variant(SM-G955 FD), I got my screen replaced from service center, Device was not rooted back then, so was under warranty.
But it is an hardware issue, as since then it has never gone off.
I mean when I press the home button hard it doesn't wake the phone up & no vibration. It happens when I restart the device then it would stop working for few minutes to a few hours sometimes, then it would start working again normally until I restart the phone again. I think this is just a software issue.
