[Q] What bugs have you noticed?

So far the only thing that is bothering me is the wallpaper. It keeps switching back to the default after I change it. Also, text messages have been failing to send and I have never seen that before. I have a micro cell so its not a network connection issue. Other than that its all aces so far.

I've had it a little over 24 hours now. The only problem I've had is with Tango. It seems to be a problem with various Samsung phones and the update that Tango just did. The video from the front camera is turned 90 degrees. It also zooms way in, so they may only see your lips. My sound is a bit low, too. It's on the forum over there and the engineers say they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

I've come across a (possible) WiFi issue with two separate devices in the past week. Lets say I join my home WiFi network and I decide to head to work. Once I get to work, I join that network. Now, when I leave work and go back home, the Infuse won't automatically pick up the home network again until I manually turn off the WiFi and turn it back on. Only then will it finally switch over and join the network. It seems to do this regardless of where I'm going and where I've been.
While I'm not sure this is an issue with the phone or my service here in town, but I seem to be either timing out on data connections a lot or having extremely slow speeds over the network. This wasn't ever a problem with my Inspire, iPhone, or any other device have carried.

I am noticing same said WIFI Issue.

I also have a wifi issue. I have 3 other phones in my household. My wifi is with ATT U-Verse. All the other phones connect to the wifi perfectly fine and holds the connection (iphone, droid incredible, droid x)
However, when I try to connect to my Wifi through my Infuse, it'll connect for about 2 minutes, and then cut off. The wifi signal will still show that it's active with full bars but nothing that requires data will work (ie browser, app store, email, youtube etc).
Since I am unable to connect to wifi, I have to put it back to H+. This isnt good because I only have the 2gb plan and i download a bunch of apps and watch a bunch of movies on it all the time.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I cant get the front camera to work on fring.....

the auto brightness turns back on all the time. the notification bar is also a brightness adjustment if auto brightness is off, just hold the bar till the pulldown dissapears and move your finger to the right. it will get brighter. i used this a lot on the captivate, having auto self turn on is quite annoying.

not that problem but my signal is low compared to the captivate, also i once needed to turn wifi off then back on because it refused to connect to a visable network.

The front camera for fring is not working for me either

app drawer
I am having an issue that the TouchWiz app drawer will open and it will be completely black. About a second later a little spinning progress icon will appear and about 4 seconds or so after that it will finally populate, sometimes out of order.
I have been a fan of LauncherPro and used it on my N1 prior, so I installed it on the Infuse and have not had any problems. Its a good thing I hate the TouchWiz launcher anyway, otherwise this would annoy me.

I noticed that the power button isn't real responsive when I got to unlock the phone.

The stock browser for was a nightmare!!!!scrolling isnt smooth,and it wont resize the text good.any one else had that problem? Now i use dolphin hd and launcher pro and it works great!!!! Oh yeah, i couldnt get the front cam to work on yahoo.

First over night charge last night and when I took it off the charger this morning it was at 84%. It didnt completely charge to 100%. I had to finish charging it in the car on the way to work. If this happens again, unfortunately I'd have to return this device. Battery seems to drain fast as well for me. This device sort of reminds me of the droid x.

I also have had the wifi not automatically connecting happen sometimes. It has also done that for my Bluetooth radio as well. I have to turn off my bluetooth and turn back nor, or have to connect it manually.

that is also a bug in 2.3.3 on the i9000. it may only happen a couple times. not a big deal especially because the battery life seems pretty good

yeah it seems the device mapping in the kernel is a little funky. fring uses the wrong camera as well

Not sure if it's a bug or not but I tried GPS on the Infuse at AT&T store today. The Infuse got a lock for 10-15 secs then lost the lock and not able to get a lock again. The Atrix and the Inspire next to it didn't have this problem.

samsung still has funky stuff going on with gps. though this phone has vastly upgraded hardware you can make improvements still.
there is an app that you access through a dialer code called lbs test mode. im not sure what the code is so i use launcher pro activities to launch it. that has gps settings.
there is also a config file called secgps.conf. i think this is a secondary config for it to fall back on. i set this file up to match lbs tset mode and get better results. i also turn off "use wireless networks" in settings>location and security
it seems verizon had a more seemless implimentation of these things on the fascinate. though it's raw gps output is not so good.
it seems like if the quality of one location mode isnt good enough on a captivate or the infuse it switches to another location service and starts from scratch. this can cause more issues than poor performance. the more you limit the options for the system on gps the better it works on these phones. i can even get a captivate to track flawlessly despite its weeknesses in accuracy.

My lockscreen keep loosing the pattern even though I set it, this could be related to widgetlocker though i doubt it because when I change from pattern to pin it now works. This thread is the reason why I left samsung before, I am hoping that this phone proves to be different....to be honest short of the lock screen thing and the struggle I have with battery life this seems to have 1 upped the captivate. OOhhh also I changed the screen density I can't stand that 240 density they create trying to be like apple icons etc wayy too big.

[Q] AT&T HTC One X Speedtest.net App?

so the LTE on this thing downloads pretty fast according to the speedtest.net app
but when the app goes to test the upload speed, it crashes saying network failure, every time, after reinstalls and reboots too..
anyone else experiencing this issue?

Yes,

It runs just dandy on the Rogers device.

Yes it does. I wonder what the difference is?

Only indoors where my signal is on and off intermittently and weak. I believe this to be associated with a general issue that a few people I see are having. Something about the signal on the One X on AT&T is REALLY off. Really fishy. Some people see this issue when using WiFi...And when they turn everything off. Then turn on airplane mode and then off and turn mobile network back on...It seems to connect again and stay connected.
For me, it's just on/off constantly. It never holds down a mobile data connection (indoors).
However. Going outside I can use the speedtest.net app without those network errors. Over and over no problem. So I'm not sure this is a problem with the speedtest app, I think it's a general issue with the One X on AT&T and signal. Something is really whack and I can't figure it out. I'm trying to check with other people and look for all information my phone gives me. It's just terrible. My phone is completely useless inside. I'm going to go outside and test around a bit. If this doesn't clear up I'll have to return everything to AT&T I guess and stick with Sprint Slower speed due to no LTE but least I can use the damn thing. I REALLY want the AT&T version though and the LTE. I just wish they would fix their crap so it would be consistent.
edit -- OH and one more thing. Your icons up top for 4G/LTE and signal bars...They're utterly useless and meaningless. You can't trust them. If you watch the settings > networks menu where you can turn things on/off you'll see the gray text under the mobile network telling you about its status and it'll just keep flipping from connected to connecting... off on off on all day long. but your icons up top could very well bit lit up like you're connected. you're not. that's why you get network errors in the speedtest app. during the middle of the test AT&T is dropping your connection.
when getting e-mail and loading web pages, this issue will not be very apparent because pages load various assets and when you are actually connected the speed is decent. the browser will keep loading and waiting so it'll just look "slow" to you. it's likely not even slow. it's just on and off all the time. e-mail is small and comes in burst like i'll say, bad language but whatever. the speedtest is noticeable because it's a constant thing. try streaming a video or music and i bet you'll see it be more apparent but even then if you have enough buffer you still may not see the issue. it's super spotty service. very angry.

Data connection hangs

Does anyone get problems with the data connection hanging? Every hour or two I seem to have to turn data off and back on again to get it to work. When it hangs, only the upload arrow seems to work, and the download arrow does nothing. Also when I turn the data off after it hangs, the data connection seems to take 30 seconds or so to disappear, so I suspect it's crashed. I have had this on a number of android phones over the years, and it's a shame my G Pro 2 is doing the same. The only phone I have ever had that never did it was the iPhone 5s. I have googled it and it appears to be a fairly common problem and some people say it could be the radio stack. I thought about turning the auto mode to 3G only in the mobile networks settings to see if that helps, I'll report back and let you all know.

My LG G Pro 2 display seems to have started flickering every so often and normally when it happens, the screen brightness won't go above 80% and it says it's due to temperature increases. It has been hot in the UK the last few days but as we speak it's around 18 Celsius where I am and it's still doing it. Phone gets warm quickly after not using it for a while, even when I am just lightly browsing the internet with screen brightness set to 30%. It sounds like it's faulty. Anyone had this problem?

Hi,
i had an HTC One X+ with which i faced the exact same issue. Turned out issue with something called fast dormancy. After i rooted and installed a custom rom i had access to disabling it.(sometimes its network enabled as well.) However, It worked. Did not face the same issue on my D838.
Try disabling the Fast dormancy option. Last i checked 5457#*838# gives you a hidden service menu with which you might be able to do so. If you are using a F350 then the code is 5457#*350#. (root not required):good::good::good:

Hey,
That happened to me only once. And i live i India (so I'm sure its much hotter here) So what i suggest is to get your device checked and replaced from the service center. Might have gotten a faulty piece. That might also solve the 3G problem (unless its the network)
Another option is to try and reinstall stock ROM(after a factory reset of course if it works). If its a software issue then it should work.
All the best :good:

S6 Switches from LTE to LTE+ Whenever Modem Takes Load

Hi all,
Just got my brand new S6 in white a few minutes ago.
I loaded some tests that I always do when getting a new phone, one of them is the RGB dead pixel test, this is a youtube video I run. I noticed as the video was loading that LTE switched to LTE+ momentarily and then switched back to LTE. This appears to occur anytime the modem is about to load anything with some significant data behind it. Is this normal?
It is slightly annoying to see a flash in the status bar every time the phone shifts, but of course, I can bear it if it's appropriate. I am just worried these switch offs are a sign of weak modem signal (the network is strong, I see full bars in LTE regular mode).
Please advise, the gustapo here only allows me to return the phone if I don't talk on it for more than 15 minutes. Everything else looks in order, just want to ensure this isn't an issue so I can use my dang phone!
Thanks so much!
PS: One last thing, does this thing ever get hot! Upon doing a system update and installing all my apps I could barely hold the thing without massive hand sweat, is that normal? I believe it is an unfortunate side-effect of having such a powerful set of cores. Thanks again!

Anyone? Can anyone chime in about the heat at least? Thanks very much!

I think this is more of a network issue than a phone issue. The phone will always switch to the more stable consistant network speed, especially during heavy data transfer. Also the cellular network has a limited number of LTE+ slots on a given tower, which can result in frequent switch over.
The download performance between LTE and LTE+ should be neglegable anyway. It's the latency that mainly differentiate the two.
You could try disable "smart network swich" in the WiFi settings, but I doubt that would help, as that is more geared toward WiFi and cellular data switching.

Heat wise, it's normal for modern multi-colour devices to get hot during (even moderate) use.
My old HTC Sensation used to get hot to the touch when under heavy gaming or even Web browsing.
I'm waiting for the day that mobile phones come out with fans or liquid cooling! [emoji14]

A factory reset has been known to cure this for others. YMMV

Cellular/call signal drops off when wifi is on

I just started playing with my wife's new idol 3 phone. everything is great so far with the exception of when wifi is turned on I noticed that cellular signal turns off and on sporadically. When wifi is off, the cellular signal never drops.
Updated!!!!!! ALCATEL THANKS!!!
The WiFi and Cellular signal issue is gone!! New update is great.

I have not noticed that. I leave my Wi-Fi on and connects when home without issue. I've check cell signal levels regularly on new phones. My first impression with this phone is that the cell reception is excellent.

I've noticed that a couple times as well. I assumed it was my SIM card as I changed carriers the same time I got this phone. It's not a deal breaker for me as I actually don't use the phone for calls much anyway. But yeah, it needs to be fixed. Just waiting for the next update.

Great, i thought maybe it was her phone in particular. I mean, I accepted the current update thinking that would solve the issue, but it didn't. Same story.....when wifi is on, the cellular signal turns off, on, off, on....maybe within 5 second intervals. Im shocked many people haven't complained about this.
if it wasn't for your response I was going to return the phone back to Amazon and exchange it for another one.
other than that I think the phone is excellent for the money and since my wife really isn't into development and rooting, for her this is the perfect replacement for her defective S4. however I would still like to be able to install a custom recovery at least.

My issue isn't anywhere near as bad as yours I would say. If yours is turning on and off a lot them you may want to replace it. I notice mine turns off once a day for a few seconds but I'm sure it does it more and I just don't see it.

I've used my phone to tether a few times and noticed the cell signal drops now and again....there is an app but I can't remember the name..something like "connection stabalizer" that toggles airplane mode on and off when it detects a dead connection....it might do the trick.

I have never experienced any of my previous phones do that, so i will most likely be sending it back for an exchange from Amazon.

I have never experienced this either. Have you tried a factory reset yet? I may try that in a couple of days and see what that does for me.

Well see, before i took the latest update the problem existed.........then, after the latest update the issue still exists. So i don't think a factory reset will do it but i will before i actually mail it out.

I reset the phopne and installed a mobile network detect app that notifies me when the signal drops. we'll see what happens.
I have no job so I have the time to blow

I am having the same problem. I am losing the signal repeatedly. It goes to no service then comes on to two or three bars even when I am in the exact same location.

So far so good. 6 hours later and no signal loss yet. On another note, the reset fixed an issue I forgot to mention. when downloading from the play store the download would start and immediately get stuck at 66kb. I would have to start and stop the download two to five times before the app actually downloaded. I just finished installing all my apps without an issue.

Borghi, so your WiFi is on when this occurs too huh?

I will lose signal when on WiFi with LTE enabled. Switch to WCDMA/GSM and it doesn't happen. Weird. Going to factory reset this weekend when my new SD card comes.

Wow so maybe this is a 100% Idol 3 manufacturing issue that demands for a recall.
Me returning the phone for another one is futile. I mean who doesn't want to keep their phone on LTE???

It might also just be a firmware issue.

True.....

It's been 28 hours and as care as I know I still have not have a dropped cell signal after the factory reset. If you have an issue will the cell radio try a factory reset first before returning it.

Mostly. Wi-Fi was off about 6 hours while I was sleeping. I'm using Network Signal Info Pro to tell me when I lose signal. I know it works cuz I turn on airplane mode and it notified me. I carry the phone around the house so I don't miss a notification. So far in 33 hours still no signal loss.
