Greetings,
I recently updated the stock AT&T ROM, and am a user of KaiserTweak.
Following my update to the new stock Tilt ROM, I no longer get autocomplete either when typing out a message OR (and this is the annoying part) when I want to send an email. Previously, I could enter the first letter and all of the entried beginning with that letter would come up.
Can any kind soul please let me know how I might be able to restore this? My current KaiserTweak autosuggest is set at 6. Of course, I am getting 0.
Thanks!
I recently had this problem with mine using Kaiser Tweak... Turn off XT9 in Kaiser Tweak if you have it enabled and then soft reset and it should work fine. This is what i did and my auto complete came back on no problems. If that doesnt work then I have no idea what it could be. Im still a noob.
SOLVED
That was it. XT9 is a 'advised' setting too ... YIKES.
well i didnt update the new att rom, nor do i use kaiser tweak. i just have stock everything & mysteriously my auto complete stopped working. well its not that it doesnt work, but there is a 15 second lag or something on it. and when it does work it pisses me off bcuz i'll click on the item i wanted to auto complete & it doesnt go away (bcuz the lag) so i'll click it & start typing the next word & it keeps adding the auto complete entry!
i've tried soft reseting, tried, cutting the phone off, and i've noticed i've just got a huge lag on the whole phone w/in the last hour or hour & a half. i cut the phone off & removed my sim & then started it back up & there is no lag whatsoever. could it be something that ATT is doing on their networks or something? pissing me off bad tho...bcuz i've been finding little POS problems day after day w/ this phone and when you spend that damn much money on one, you figure that you wont have to worry about all these little problems...and they add up to amount to one pissed off customer. hell if att had something else w/ wm6 & office & wifi, i'd be using it now instead of feeling like im getting shafted by purchasing this POS.
I understand that your phone is behaving in a way that you do not like. It is either:
1. a bad phone - take it back
2. it is behaving correctly and you do not understand it - in that case indicate here AFTER SEARCHING what your problems are and I am pretty sure that you can get them solved.
3. you have hosed something up - again AFTER SEARCHING ask and you shall receive.
As a newbie myself I have found this a wonderful wealth of knowledge. HOWEVER - if you do not TRY and helpyourself - put on your asbestos suit.
Now - it is entirely possible that you have purchaseda high maintenance phone that has lots of power that you do not need and should not have because it will take more than you want to invest in it.
Your decision.
(BUT - I would quit griping here because you will get VERY LITTLE sympathy.)

yeah i wasnt really looking for sympathy...but thanks for the tip, i'll digress prior to the rant next time. its just getting more & more frustrating. the purpose of my post was to in fact garner some sort of assistance in regards to the auto complete not working on the phone.
the other issues i've had w/ the phone are issues that are seemingly unable to be fixed. ie. the camera lag issues, the utilization of the phone as a 56k modem, or other things like that. i wouldnt say the phone is too much work for me as i dont mind putting forth the effort but it just makes me wonder how a phone can be sold so haphazardly without many of these issues resolved prior to it being released. /end rant
edit: i just wanted to shed more light in regards to the situation that i've found out. this is the only way i can replicate the issue.
i turn the phone on. go into messaging, its defaulted back to keyboard input, i change it to block recognizer. begin to input letters. no auto complete. after about 3 words, auto complete pops up. i click one of the options. it doesnt go away. i wait for the auto complete applet to leave. it does, i begin to type & at this point the lag has commenced. auto complete will not show up again unless i stop adding letters to the sms. when i do so, about 8-10 seconds later the auto complete pops up. i finishe the sms & send or cancel it. now everything is laggy. i cant access apps, if i lock the phone i cant unlock it. everything is frozen w/ an absurd delay, as in i've waited over 5 minutes & the unlock will not remove itself. the only thing that i can do is turn the screen off by clicking the power button. when i resume i get the top today bar and the bottom unlock bar, everything in the middle is blanked out. the only way i have been able to continue passed this point is to pop the sim door forcing it to cut the phone off, then replace the sim door lock. if i dont use the auto complete function on the phone i dont have any issues whatsoever. hopefully the added info helps. thanks.
After reading this I checked and autocomplete was not working! I recently updated Kaiser tweak and remember putting 6 words in. When I checked, it was set to 0 words. I changed it back to 6 words and is working fine again. Not sure how it got set to 0.
Okay, I've searched and can't find this problem but hopefully somebody may have some ideas.
Quite frequently, I lose the top line of my display (the one with the start button and the system status icons). Everything else works but that line just disappears.
If I then lock the device it comes back. When I unlock it, it sometimes stays but sometimes disappears again once it's unlocked and I then have to turn my phone off and back on again.
I have a standard Orange UK phone, standard ROM and I've used some of the performance tweaks listed here. I've also disabled Touchflo and am using spb diary as my home page.
Anybody any ideas because this is driving me mad?
I had the same, but only when TF3D was deactivated. Since I use it again, it doesn't happen anymore...
It happens on my Orange diamond as well - stock 1.37 rom with TF3D enabled.
It seems to happen once every 4-5 days, and doesn't really have a pattern. Sometimes it's switching between Today and Second Today, sometimes it's rotating, sometimes it's unlocking etc..
flash a new ROM
Hello there.
Well i just recommend you to flash a new cooked ROM. I havent seen this behavior with a cooked ROM.
Best regards.
Well, at least it isn't just me but does anybody have any idea what causes the problem and how it can be solved.
Could it be something to do with glyph memory?
I used to see this sometimes on the orange rom. Since flashing a cooked rom makes the device twice as fast - and removes that problem - I would just flash it.

I know it's the wrong forum to say this but I'm just a bit scared to flash it because I've never done it before.
I'm worried about either a) bricking it or b) losing some setting that Orange put in to connect to their network (voice, data, voice mail etc).
Hi
I've had a similar Problem!
It seems to happen when I take the phone out of sleep cos I've got a text and its locked (I've set it for 30min).
I press the power button but the screen only half lights and the top line doesn't display. It sometimes says 'password' in the top left but does nothing if I press it.
I can slide along the bottom line but it doesn't work properly.
Interestingly I also have a Orange Diamond 1.37 ROM (which I've unlocked).
I'm gonna flash with HTC's ROM from there site and I'll let everyone know if the problem persists.
Wish me luck

And what happened?
Hi
Sorry for the delay. I tried the HTC site ROM but it just gave me a message saying 'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device'.
So it looks like i'm stuck cos its still doing it about once a day just have to switch of and on again.

Okay. I still have the problem and am very, very tempted to try flashing a new ROM (and Radio). But I just can't quite work up the courage to do it since I've never done it before and it's the fear of the unknown.

This happens to me too. I have a T-Mobile Compact IV.
I've found that using FreeUP RAM (part of SKTools) not only releases memory, but also fixes this problem (until the next time it happens, which admittedly is not often).
Just wanted to say that I've upgraded my Orange ROM to the new 1.93 and I haven't had this problem....yet.
2 days without problems so I thought it may be safe to post.
IVe also had this on 1.37.x.x on my mda cmpct IV. Like everyone on here Im considering flashing but Im waiting for t-mobile to release an update (they keep telling me the will, presummably the 1.93.x.x) so that if I then brick the puppy - I can blame it on there rom upgrade.
I want this phone to be better, I know it can be with a ROM change...but I dont want to brick it and for once in my life will have some patience to wait.
Hello guys!
I'm having some trouble with my HTC Touch Diamond. I am running the latest ROM, and the phone has worked perfectly since I've got it!
But one day it suddenly powered itself of during a phonecall and I was not able to power it on again. I removed the battery, put it in again, didn't work. Took out the battery and waited for almost 30 minutes, tried again and now it worked!
Since then the phone locks up in no systematical pattern (when I wake up in the morning it mybe locked itself, sometimes when I listen to the radio or typing an SMS..). Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Can't type in the serial number as I just have managed to turn it on.
What should be mentioned is the behavior when trying to start it. Either the phone gives no respons, or it "buzzez" and the display shows "touch diamond", but the rom version is not appearing down to the right. When it starts, it starts just as it should and no error messages is displayed.
I have not tried doing a hard reset yet, which I must say is considered the last option.
Have anyone experienced something like this? Or does anyone have a suggestion about what might be causing this?
Thanks on beforehand
Edit: have performed a hard reset now (did not format the 4gb). But the problem is not gone.. The phone just died while surfing. Now it locks at the green windows mobile-screen just before the homescreen loads (if it even boots at all...)
Please help anyone!
I was playing around with the pattern lock and eventually got the 'Too many pattern attempts!' message, with it asking for my Google username and password to log in.
No matter what, it doesn't accept my username/password. I am 100% sure I've typed it in correctly.
This bug has been around for over a year with many people reporting 'bricked' phones without even doing anything particularly naughty with their phones.
This is the Google bug that has been posted on it: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3006#makechanges
As you can see this has been around for over a year. The 'null'-in-password trick doesn't work, nor does the spamming-home-button trick.
My phone is rooted and with the Voodoo Lagfix-only custom kernel. Any suggestions?
Do a hard reset / wipe. That's my suggestion.
Try booting into recovery (Home Button, Vol Up + Power), and resetting your cache and wiping it. Then try logging in with your Google account. If all else fails, try changing your Google password on the PC then logging in on the phone. And then if it still fails, looks like you need to flash the phone again. Next time, don't enter the thing wrong! Stop rushing haha .
I wasn't rushing, I was playing with the lock. It takes about 30 times before it's permanently requiring the username/password. But really...you can't blame me for not expecting this. :/
I'm currently trying to flash a new ROM but I've run into another problem - I can't get it to boot into downloader/recovery. It's not the lack of the 3 button combo - I've managed to reach Recovery and Downloader ONCE each in the past, but never again since.
And now with all my efforts to boot into recovery/downloader, it now cannot boot into normal usability mode (or in my case, locked mode). Instead, the Galaxy S logo loops endlessly.
Sigh.
Have you read the thread for the fix for Galaxy S variants that are lacking the 3 Button Combos? It's in Android Development. Maybe try that? Or, can you still connect the phone and connect with Kies?
I can't turn on the phone anymore, meaning no changing to USB debugging etc. And I'm having problem accessing recovery/download, even though I definitely HAVE done each of them once before and therefore do not have the 3 button problem.
Without turning on my phone, Kies can't detect it
So what happens when you power on?
Now, it shows the first Galaxy S splash screen, then shows the boot logo, then nothing. The boot logo continues to glow endlessly.
Be patient, i waited up to five minutes. If you see the s logo glowing/shining youare ok

Yeah it's continuously shining. Haven't left it for up to five minutes though... And even then it probably won't help since I'm still locked out of the phone, and unable to access download/recovery mode to reflash it.
After waiting for a long time, the logo disappears, screen goes black. Menu and back buttons light up. Nothing else.
Looks like your going to have to reflash your phone again. Download the desired firmware, open up Odin and put your phone into download mode and start the flashing procedure. Be more careful next time.

Good advice considering he said his 3 button combo stopped working =))
All I did when I got that black screen was adb reboot recovery and wiped and phone bootedup fine. But only if you have debuging enable and and sumsung drivers. Hopes this help.

Can't enable USB debugging when phone can't be turned on at all.

Ok i did the same thing, and spent hours googling.
Tried the key combinations to restore, but never worked.
Heres what worked for me, but, be warned all your contacts will be lost if stored on the phone.
From another phone, call your locked number.
Answer it on the locked phone, then hit the "back" button.
This gives you full access to the phones menus etc.
Hang up on the phone you called from.
Now, go into Applications / Settings / Privacy / Factory Data Reset.
This worked for me whereas all other methods did not.
Once your phone is up and running again, be sure to create your google account on your phone.
That way your protected again. If you didnt previously have the account set up from your phone, like i didnt, then you cannot log in of course.
This works...give it a try. Hope it helps.

dear friend dont worry or panic... i'll tell you a trick , go to the samsung customer care and tell them that your phone gets heated up very often and today it just refuses to boot up normally...
since your device cannot get into recovery mode or download mode the company will never know that you had played with the system files in the device or not... (rooted )..
since the samsung people will also try to get your device in recovery mode.. but when it will not go to the recovery mode you will get a mother board replacement under warranty.....
this heating up of the device is a common problem in the galaxy here in india.. so use this excuse and i know it works 100% ... (just dont tell them that you had rooted and lagfixed your device )
What you describe sounds like a very large security hole if I am reading it correctly.
Are you saying that even if your phone has been locked out from too many lock screen failures, that just answering an incoming phone call gives you full access to the phone? Really?
I just checked on my phone and while I can answer an incoming call while the screen is locked, if I hit the back button or menu button, I just get the lock screen.
I'm missing something here...

chill my dear friend.... it cant be true.... its just his 1st post.. and samsung cannot be so dumb to leave a password protected keypad that can be cracked so easily.. even i tried the back key on a call with a password lock.. i cannot get passed the lock screen....
Hello all,
i spent quite some time researching my issue and found out that there is a bunch o people with this problem. The downside is, none of the recomended fixes seem to work.
Description: I recently got a S4 active i9295 with stock rom. Everything clean, nothing custom on it(i belive). For a couple of hours it worked like a charm, then, when i want to call someone, the transition from contacts to dialing screen lags a bit and then it goes into dialing and thats about it. Nothing else happens from there on. I loose signal and it keeps showing that it dials (i let it like this for about 15 minutes and nothing happend). I cannot end the call, it remains stuck in "dialing" mode, i can use all the other functions though. After a restart it works again. Same goes for sending SMS. The icon spins and spins but never sends the SMS, only after a reboot. Also when someone calls me, they get a "no answer" signal and my phone just looks ok, like normal standby but when i want to call back, it freezes at dialing.
I tried 3-4 different stock 4.4.2 roms, hard reset, wipe/clear cache, safe mode... It works fine for 15-20 calls/2-3 hours and then it does it again. After that point it only gets worse and it happens more frequently.
Any ideas on what could cause this or how to permanently fix it? Unfortunately, returning the phone is not really an option.
Thanks to all, best regards.
No one?
