Annoying Bug :( - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am using blisspop rom for few months now and they have this annoying bug that when u turn the screen into horizontal mode and you try to lock it in that mode (landscape) it automatically goes back to portrait mode and locks it in that mode
Does anyone know where I can report that annoying bug?!
I am pretty sure its super easy to fix it's just that they are not aware of it
Thank you in advance

I would suggest the Blisspop topic?

I've already posted about it in the Blisspop thread, along with many others. Doesn't seem to be a high priority bug I'm guessing. If it's that annoying flash the TeamEOS ROM instead--they are both AOSP (if I'm not mistaken...)

It's not a big surprise either. Even stock nvidia firmware has bugs.
One I found out is after the latest update I can't no longer remove my USB pen drive like before, removing it does nothing (tested on my 2 nvidia shields with latest update).

Issue with the display - post official ICS update

Hi,
I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy R today to the official ICS version. The phone was on the stock ROM (Gingerbread) earlier.
I did the update using KIES and the update went without any errors. Post upgrade, my Samsung Galaxy R's screen isn't working normally when viewing things involving pure black background. For example, when I open the "Settings" and try scrolling through the list that is shown in the black background, the text leaves streaking effect (leading to multi color dots in the black areas). As a result, the text in the black background becomes scrambled. This problem also happens when the phone is powered on and the start up splash screen (samsung logo in pure black background) appears. The weird fact is that the screen looks absolutely normal when there is no "pure black" element involved in the display and all other colors looks okay.
Just to confirm, I installed the Gingerbread version again (using custom ROM) and the screen works perfectly okay even when scrolling through the various settings with pure black background. Splash screen at the start up doesn't leave any streaks/dots either.
Finally, I tried to install ICS once again in OTA mode and the display issue started happening again. Please find attached the image that shows the problem.
Could you please let me know if I am missing something.
P.S: One more interesting point to note is that the problem happens only when the screen is kept in the portrait mode. The moment I turn the phone to the landscape mode, the screen becomes perfectly clean.
Thanks,
KB.
Hi,
I have attached a couple more screenshots that illustrates the problem.
The issue gets fixed once I put the phone in landscape mode and the issue doesn't happen when displaying colors other than black.
Thanks!

Hi Vikesh,
I am not facing any issues with GB. The display is absolutely perfect when I tried out GB. I tried the following sequence:
1. The phone was working perfectly in GB and I decided to upgrade to the official ICS
2. Upgraded my phone to ICS using Samsung Kies. Found the display issue the minute ICS started
3. Worried about the problem, I tried flashing the stock GB ROM. This fixed the display issue
4. Tried upgrading to ICS once again - without KIES this time (using Wifi - OTA). Upgrade went without any error, but the display problem started once again after the upgrade
Currently I am using the ICS and it works fine except for the aforementioned display problem. Even the display is pretty responsive and I don't feel any lag while using the phone. Display issue gets sorted the moment I turn the phone to the landscape mode and the problem happens only with black backgrounds in the display.
I am not sure what I am supposed to do and I am thinking of moving back to GB.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,

buddy, This kinda problem I never faced. Might b few problem while updating your device, is occurring (which is not reporting as error). So, My suggestion is can you please use ODIN V3.07 & flash it using Offiline mode. i.e. Flashing ICS using ODIN.
Procedure is here -> Click here
First 3 question & answer will let you know everything.
If still problem persist, then do visit SSC or flash latest cm10.1 & based ROM over it.

[Q] multitouch problems after flashing custom rom

As in the thread I have a problem with multitouch after I decided to flash cyanogenmod 10.1.1 the same thing happens when I install RC5 release of CM10. I must eliminate it as I cannot play games and even zoom anything in browser
What happens is : sometimes but rarely multitouch works flawlessly so I can do anything but even after locking screen problems occur again. I checked it with multitouch testing applications and when one figer is on the screen everything is fine. When I add second finger multitouch lags a lot , often cannot see second finger or it cannot see my fingers moving at all. Tried to callibrate multitouch, do wipe/factory reset but still it's no better.
I would like to repair it somehow but I lack knowldge, that's why I'm posting here. I also posted in cyanogenmod forum but they told me get to here and check if there are bootloader updates or radio/baseband updates. I don't know if there are because I thought that with ROM i get everything whats new and if I have newest cyanogenmod stable then i don't need any more updates.
Please help me. I would be very grateful. I wrote what's wrong as well as I can but still I will answear any question if I can. Thanks in advance.

Screen rotation problems.

Hi everybody I am a Skyrocket user. Some days ago I flashed stock android 2.3.5 on my phone via Odin, just to check some performance and old apps. A day later I flashed back JellyBean 4.1.2 stock but I noticed this problem. When I flip my phone to landscape, it rotates quickly and smooth like it always did. But when I flip back to portrait, it stucks in landscape for some seconds before rotating. This is a problem it doesn't always do, sometimes it rotates immediately like it should. I turn auto rotation off as I don't always need it but some apps like camera and youtube still autorotate. I thought it might be a problem with calibration but it didn't help. I'm on stock JellyBean, no rooted.
(If it helps: I was rooted after flashing the firmware and removed some system apps but only AT&T apps like code scanner,mog music etc, and I later unrooted the phone. Tried factory reset also re-flashed the firmware again to see if it might help with the problem but it didn't.)

If you tried odin back to stock, and the problem is still there on complete stock then it's probably time for a new phone unfortunately.
a few tips:
1. make sure you check the MD5 to make sure those files downloaded ok and aren't corrupt.
2. make sure you cable is good & you're using a USB port on the back of your PC
3. Ebay phones. even sold as new might not be new even though they look new. Could be just brand new replacement parts and new packaging, etc.
4. Check Vincom's troubleshooting thread! read the stickies! if you haven't, maybe something you overlooked as well.

[Q] Problems with touchscreen ?

Hi there,
someone has problems that the touchscreen is not responding?
Have CM11 - current nightly, Fournace kernel 1.0.2 and OPO lockscreen flashed ....,Only the lower right corner is responsive to inputs.
I had the problems also 2 times with the CM11S-ROM.
Has anyone else this problem?

I have the same problem. It's intermittent and goes away after a while but it comes back often enough to make my device unusable when needed. I literally can't answer calls or log into my device because of this. Is no one else having this problem? The issue persists into recovery so it might be hardware.
Franco r13 has new touch drivers implemented. Try it.
OP you say it as if your screen is never responsive, only in the bottom of the screen. That sounds like a RMA.
I will look into Franco r13 tonight. In the meantime, here is how my problem happens:
- Most of the time touch screen is working as expected
- Sometimes the touch screen becomes unresponsive to many areas on the screen, but some small areas still work
- When the above issue occurs, it is only temporary. If I let the phone sit for a few minutes it usually comes back.
- Restarting does not fix the problem, and the problem persists into recovery mode (I forget which recovery I have, but it has touch screen input)
- The problem started with phone being 100% stock, although only after the OTA update a few days ago

Yeah, try Franco then. Mine feels better now. It wasn't too responsive before either.

[Q] Pixelated flashing lines on display screen

I've been having screen/display issues (not the yellow hue and separate of the touch screen sensitivity problems). Every now and again, I get flashing, pixilated horizontal lines. I don't see any dead pixels and when it's not blipping the screen seems to display flawlessly, so I'm not sure if it's a software issue or if the hardware is failing. Also it's not isolated to one particular area, it jumps around. Anyone have this problem? Any fixes? I haven't been able to find anything on it. PLEASE HELP. Below is a video of the problem.

Are you completely stock? Any custom kernel? Any rom?
Usually it's a kernel issue - tearing, but it's only present on custom kernels (never came across on the stock cm11 kernel). You might wanna try a different kernel though, if you're comfortable with that.
I have the same issue on my stock rom with stock kernel. the only thing i have changed was the developer options. i changed the screen animation time.

Was it working before those changes?

I had exact same issue during recording a video yesterday night !! I am latest mahdi and latest franco...
Funny thing is it went away once i exited the camera... what rom and kernel are u using ?
I've been having the same issue too. I don't have a solution for you, though. I haven't been able to find much about it.
Same issue here, stock all the way, only been since latest update. The update didn't flash properly, it gave an error stating it couldn't be located but i went through the files and it was there and then upgraded OK
I had the same problem. Selecting "Force GPU Rendering" in developer options cured it.
i have stock everything. i'm not rooted.
a reboot fixes the problem temporarily. shoot, all the issues i've ran into with this phone thus far (like the GPS not locking on) is fixed by a reboot. i know a reboot is good to do every now-and-again regardless, but having to do it constantly to fix issues is the sign of a failing device and is very annoying; it shouldn't be something you have to do with a brand new device.
i am facing this too randomly. Am on rooted 38R with Franco kernel. Rebooting is a temp cure but it will frustrating to keep doing it.
This happened to me after getting 38R. Fortunately it hasn't been back since a hard reboot. It would show up on Youtube & when dragging down the notifications area.
I had this today on PAC ROM. When I unlock phone and lock ring animation dots flash up made lines come across screen not sure what it was or why. Just rebooted phone. Back to normal. But trying out vanir later tonight try something abit different.
Also experiencing this here.
Stock ROM, clean 38R install.
Stock kernel.
Rooted, with a few xposed modules.
Started a day or two ago. Haven't found a way to recreate it. When it does happen, a reboot remedies it, but only temporarily.
I will attempt to screenrec it the next time.
I find it interesting that I only see mentions of this starting recently.
Same problem for me since the last update. Restarting the Phone solves the problem for some times. Maybe a driver issue?
Glad to see that it is not a hardware issue.
Same here
Same here, mahdi-2.8-bacon-20141001 ROM, enabled "Force GPU rendering" in Developer options, let's see if this comes back!
I have the same problem on latest cm nightly with stock kernel. And dev options works sometimes but it resets on reboot and my phone reboots randomly all the time. I'm starting to hate this device
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
I also have the same issue on Stock 38R update + franco kernel r27
It happens after the latest kernel update, before I never had this lines.
Lucky for me I don't have any reboots now but I fear that will come to pass as well.
Got the same problem with Mahdi Rom 2.8 - 20141016
Will be solved in Franco Kernel r28,he just confirmed this on his kernel thread.
Sent from my OnePlus One using XDA Free mobile app
same issue here. i have to reboot. its happened on stock and AK kernel. will try enabling force gpu rendering and see if it comes back
