Sporadic up speed

Running CM6 Final
Radio: 32.41.00.32H_5.08.00.04 (Korean radio)
Ever since I changed the radio I've been getting really jumpy (and kind of low) upload speeds in speedtest. At work I get a very nice 2767 kbps down and then I get 304 kbps up. While it's running the upload test though the needle jumps up and down and generally looks "laggy" in the way it moves.
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and if there's a fix.

Using Speed Test app? Nothing out of ordinary. Their last update brought this jumpy needle (or was it Froyo update? It was so long ago...).
Try flashing older 4.06 and see if it improves anything. If not - return to 5.08 and blame your carrier

Thanks for the input. I'll probably hold off on flashing radio for now as I want to avoid flashing it when it isn't necessary, but it's good to hear it's not just my phone =)

[Q] Which rom to use...please help

Hi guys,
I am really losing it with my girlfriend's P990 (originally vodafon branded on the german o2 network). On stock this phone was a nightmare: random crashes, laggy launcher, random reboots / powerdowns etc made it a completely aweful experiance. So I said: ok this should be an easy fix, just install a custom rom and those problems should be gone. Since then I have tried:
- several Modaco Roms
- latest Euro Open Stock LG update (Smartflash)
- Topoggigi with Service Packs and different kernels
- Gueste2x 2.2 with different kernels
- Gueste2x 3.0 and 3.1 with different kernels
- all sorts of different basebands on the roms mentioned above
While I really appreciate the work the devs are doing and the system works alot faster however none of the roms really fixed the other problems: some lost reception, some had non working / freezing wlan, others had gps problems and there are still random shutdowns when the phone is idle.
Can anyone recommend a rom / baseband / ril combination that just works? It's for my gf's phone so I don't need all the ramhacks, undervolt, overclock, underclock gimmicks, I just want a stable phone working for everyday use which does not shut itself off, she does not even care if it's froyo or gingerbread based.
I was trying to avoid pure cm7, which I use and love on my own phone, because well, I can already hear her complain how everything looks different
Big thanks in advance for your tips and suggestions.

For the simple user, with no UV / OC or any tweaks...and great stability and not matching your CM 7 in appearance(obviously urs and hers should not match mate....cause the BOSS is always different...dont take this serious...just joking)
one of the best ROMs I have used was the Topo's 2 with SP3...BBV20E with matching RIL(use GetRIL). If you want stability....the first thing I can think about is Topo's ROM....many developers themselves will agree on this point...he was a big inspiration for the upcoming devs.
Coming to the point of tweaks...this ROM with Spica's HP SR1 Kernel was one of the best results I ever had....three days of battery perf and almost 99.9% trouble free....dont look for 0.01%....you will probably never find tht.
Coming to the point of freezes....or random reboot...i found this hardly in this ROM....nevertheless, you also need to check the correct BB and matching RIL...which you will find in the relevant thread.
tweaks in this....they dont bother your stability....and still remains one of the best GB ROMs.
If you want more info...maybe u can PM me or add your comments to this thread....
But, a word of caution...you will never be satisfied, with the amount of variety and features the other ROMs offer....u still want more....Have flashed more than 14ROMs in less than 4months.thats how the life of a O2X owner is.....and I am enjoying it

Thank you for your quick reply, and yes I agree on the boss part =)
I had topos rom on her phone (with another baseband though) but I had 2 problems:
on SR1 kernel:
with wifi sleep policy set to never wlan just stopped working after being connected for a while: it still showed the wlan connected + full reception icon in the statusbar but no data went through untill I manually turned it off and on again.
To fix that I switched the kernel on his rom (I cannot remember exactly to which one) which fixed the wlan issues but caused the phone to randomly lose all mobile reception until a manual reboot. Maybe this was caused by a wrong baseband. According to getril baseband and ril were a match though.
Other than that the rom was perfect (especially battery life)...but those 2 issues made it useless for an everyday rom. Especially because both bugs happend several times a day.
BTW: Topo recommends using the LGP990AT-00-V20c-EUR-XX-AUG-02-2011+0_CP.fls baseband, not the 20E you mentioned.

Why are you so sure it's software?
I bought a P990 almost two weeks ago, been giving it some nice usage (GPS, Wifi, 3G, a lot of gaming in the subway) still on stock software and I've had ZERO issues with it.
Why didn't you try to complain to your vendor about your faulty phone and get a new one?

you seem to be one of a lucky few then, because from what I hear from other owners of the phone it really IS a buggy phone. Have you tried to return a phone based on lags and errors which seem to occur randomly...it is not like I can reproduce the shutdown / reboot problems, anyway returning it is not an option anymore.

Mate,
you are right...Topo recommended the BB you have mentioned. But, if you have observed the complete changelog....then you may see the v2.0 with SP3 is made with V20E as the base. Personally, I used this and had no issues until unfortunately Topo's father fell ill and also the other ROMs came in, to give a variety.
Your wifi dropping might be a BB-RIL combo....you need to change the RIL according to region, operator and call quality etc....the app suggests a few RILs(if you have noticed in LG RIL Version or Get RIL app)....
In addition to this, there is also a V20M version made by another developer which alsy was working perfectly good...infact a few pple think that V20M is one good version which was a fix to BSOD and also better battery perf....
I am presently changing quite often between Django and Civato ROMs....and I have no issues with these ROMs. I have tried Gueste 3.1 which is very stable, great perf and fluidity...but the matter of changing to more what I am used to...
There are a great deal of variety and feature packed ROMs in the O2X cabinet and we need to be testing and staying which appeals the best in different terms for our satisfaction.

Every phone has its plus and minus mate....I am proud of O2X not because it was made perfect(surely poor quality by LG) but the developers here are striving to make this a perfect smartphone.....and we are very close to that ....
Just believe and you can make it better....

lol that's what I have been trying and the reason for this post. My problem is that I can flash a new baseband / rom / ril after work and test everything like wifi, gps, mobile internet and reception when I am at home. When everything *seems* to work I give the phone back to my gf hoping it's fine now. When she has the phone over the day and comes back in the evening and reports errors, so I start over again. That makes the whole process pretty tedious and I was hoping for a recipe, maybe from another user on a german network to shorten the whole process. But you already gave me a few tips I will also try next!

I don't know where you're from, but from where I'm from you usually have a two-week no questions asked refund period. And yes, I have tried to return electronic devices based on random problems within this period and usually I don't have any problems. Especially if I'm looking for a replacement for the same phone and not just my money back (I know some people who abuse this two-week period and try almost every phone there is... they almost don't need to buy phones...)
If you're outside this two-week period it might be trickier, I admit. But still I was just trying to be helpful. No matter what we do there will always be products with faulty hardware, and this faulty hardware might cause random lags and errors... if this is your case nothing you do will solve the problem, except for a replacement, that's why I suggested it.
And yes, I do realize I'm lucky. Before I bought the phone I did a lot of reading and I read about the random crashes, and saw people saying that a custom rom usually fixed it, so I was already prepared for this. But I'm not experiencing any of it so I'm happy.
Nonetheless I wish you the best of luck!

Gueste2X v3.1 with Temasek Turbo kernel and 218 BB works great for me.
Best ROM I've ever tried.
Reception drops and Wifi problems can be caused by BB not correctly installed.
No offense intended, but are you sure you did that correctly? Because I've seen manuals for installing BB which are outdated, wrong or just lack important data. I flashed my BB in a wrong way before.
Since you are German:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_op...-lg_optimus_speed_p990_aktuelle_baseband.html

I am using temasek`s latest KANG-54, its smooth and stable. No problems whatsoever. Oh, and just today i flashed the kernel to ETaNa. Will see how that goes.

Thanatos2x v5.1 -> been using this for a few weeks now, came from Modaco GR5. It's really a very good rom. Fast, stable, not to different from stock LG. I'm using the 725 BB from v20o (with the RIL that came with the rom), tho get ril suggests I get the RIL from v10d NL (since I live in Holland). Haven't tried it since this setup just works great. Reception is good, battery lasts the whole day easily, no reboots or freezes...

After testing several ROMs I decided to use a ROM which won't let me miss a call. I chose MACODO GR6 . It's the most stable ROM I've ever tested. I'm tired of using buggy ROM just for the speed.

thank you guys for your recommendations!
Now I know what to check out next =)

[Q] Touchscreen Problem with ICS Roms

I have installed different ICS roms to 3 different i9000s. All of them has touchscreen problems.
Some parts of the touchscreen does not react to your touch sometimes. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen. I have tried different kernels etc... No go. It really annoys when you are dialing a number, writing a message etc.
And interestingly no one mentions about it at ICS Rom and ICS kernel threads. Can I be that unlucky to have the problem on 3 different i9000s (They are not from the same batch, each one is bought from another part of the world, at different years).
I would really like a solution or suggestion. Till now i have tired different kernels, different ROMs (mostly ICSSGS (different versions), and Dark Knight (different Versions)). I even tiried diffrent schedulers and governors.
Peace.

That's weird, I have used SlimICS and have never had TS problems... Are you sure you flashed everything right? Please explain the way you've done it

with one phone installed team icssgs as it should coming from the stock , other phones back to stock with odin than cf root and flashing the roms after wipes factory resets. the usual flashing procedure....

Try flashing the team hacksung base first, afterwards flash your desired custom ROM. That should do it.

could you try to explain the diff. between flasiing without cm9 or or with cm9. whar would
be the difference at the end?

I don't exactly know why this is needed, but I would assume that TeamHacksung or CM9 have some frameworks included which are perhaps missing in custom ROMs. I'm just guessing, don't really know =/
Have you tried it? For a CM9 based ROM, flash CM9 first and for a TH based ROM, TH first

Hello,
Have you checked if the Problem still remains when you are on Stock ROM?

no i havent but it was working just before i flashed icd.
also i have 2 more phones with the same problem. So it is not my phone malfunctioning.

In ICS-333 from you can turn on show touches in developer options in settings menu you could see if its registering your touch immediately or at all. The browser is the only place I've experienced touch lag though.

Hey I got ur prob and I know what causes it, it not a bug, its dirt or water on your screen that causes the prob if u keep the screen spotlessly clean u don't get it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

I have activated show touch before, it does not register your touch at all. also I have tried cleaning it no go, since this is happening with 3 different phone, i doubt it is dirt etc.

I know what causing it. It a bug where dirt or water or something gets on the screen and because the drivers on ics is so sensitive it picks it up, try changing sensitivatiy or keep that screen very clean
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

i have the same problem. its very frustating. never happened in gingerbread. only on ICS.the bug happened occasionally, the funny thing is it only affect the first row area of the screen. (lower left altheway up to upper left corner), it doesnt register tapping on the screen but it still register swiping from outside of the area..., like ussual i need to lock and unlock again to make the touch working again.

I have installed GB back and problem is gone? I am out of ideas anyone?
Flashed back ics bug returns, flashing jb same thing.

Exactly the same problem here
With Stock GB everything works fine, with custom roms the right side of the touch screen doesn't react. You have to lock and unlock your phone to regain the full touchscreen.

This is interesting this is far more than i anticipated anyone with a clue?

same problem here. my screen was working when i bought it (obviously). it was froyo then. the touchscreen problem appears when i upgraded to custom ICS rom. the middle part of my touchscreen does not respond to touch. none. nada. although the rest of the screen seems to be responding to touch so far. turning the screen off the on again temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. i put back a gb rom, the problem was gone. i was thinking maybe there's a different digitizer driver samsung put on their stock gb roms. it's really annoying.
any more ideas? should i replace my touchscreen digitizer?

Yes it's really annoying :crying:
What is different between stock gb/froyo and ics/jb custom roms that have such an effect on the touchscreen?

I will try the app SGS Touchscreen Booster to decrease the screen sensivity, maybe it helps

never heard of this problem in all the time i was ics.maybe time for some jellybean

[Q] YA "Which ROM" thread - with details

Advance apologies for the common request.
Background:
Used to run Serendipity 6.4 and loved it.
Phone's internal flash went bad. Samsung replaced "guts" and sent back with AT&T 2.3.5 installed.
So, looking for a more modern ROM with some (or all) of what I liked about my old one. I assume I now have GB bootloaders, so figured I might as well put something else on it now. It doesn't look like Serendipity VII is getting updates.
Things I really liked about Serendipity 6.4:
Voodoo Sound (pretty much a Must Have)
Display tweaks
Packet data setting (plus lots of other stuff) in the long-press power menu
Auto-brightness that works
GPS worked fine, but could be due to other patches I installed.
Stable!
Things I like about stock GB:
USB works better
If you know of a ROM that can turn off the cell radio but leave WiFi active, I'd just about kill for that (fringe cell signal at home kills the battery). I don't care about over/under clocking.
I don't know if I care if it's an i897 or i9000 based ROM. I haven't really noticed the Audience chip improvement since I got the phone back. I haven't been able to get a GPS fix yet, though.
Thanks a lot,
- LoopinFool

Either that didn't work in Eclair/Froyo or I'm an idiot -- or both.
Thanks for that,

PS:
I see Helly Bean mentioned a lot here recently and I'll look into it. Please continue with suggestions as I'd like a few good options to look at.

[Q] Bugs, bugs, bugs

Dear all,
it is my first try to run cyanogenmod (10.1 Rel 7) on my SGS+. But when using it, I immediately found plenty of issues:
- Navigation is only partially working. After a while the maps starts jumping around and dark semi transparent overlay sections appear so that one cannot see the full map. In the forum I found the hint to deactivate Dithering. Done. Only little improvement.
- Alarm clock is not working when the phone is turned off.
- Screen goes off after dialing a number (workaround: lift phone to the ear and lower it back down -> screen is on again).
- No FM radio app (in comparison to the stock rom).
- Skype video is still upside down (as with stock rom).
My colleagues were very enthusiastic about cyanogen mod. In contrast, I haven't really detected the advantages. Are the developpers still working on the issues? Is there anything I can do to support you guys?

To answer your queries:
-Navigation- use the bug reporting method on the CM10.1 forums and submit it as a bug report either in the S CM10.1 thread or on JIRA. More details are given in the CM10.1 thread OP.
-This feature doesn't work even on stock. Its not a bug, and its not just CM10.1. MIUI allows this apparently however.
-This is normal, not a bug either. When you call someone the screen goes off because you're going to lift it to your ear anyway. The 'workaround' is actually the proximity sensor, and a similar thing happens on stock roms. The only solution to this is to press a button when the screen initially turns off.
-FM Radio isn't included in CM builds by default, as the API needed for it needs some intense changes made to it. There's Spirit FM if you want to run the risk. Check out the thread for more information.
-Skype on CM10.x is a known issue
Try CM10.2 and see if that helps the first issue, if not, report it using the methods in the CM threads. Otherwise everything else is as normal/known.

Irrespective of a few bugs there are definitely a number of advantages to using CM.
Have you noticed how smooth CM10.1 is? For me it's smoother than stock. Definitely a plus.
The pre-installed applications are more polished/work better and you actually have control over them. Don't like one? You can remove it. Unlike stock where you are stuck with a lot of junk (unless you have rooted your phone).
Bugfixes! We're no longer stuck with a 2 year old version of an OS for which we don't receive any bugfixes.
Customizability. CM gives you a lot more features to have your phone just the way you want it.
Overclocking and undervolting.
Not everyone had this problem, but my phone took > 5 minutes to get a GPS fix on stock. It takes < 10 seconds on CM.
And that's just what I came up with in a few minutes. Yes, there will be a few bugs and features which you think are weird (like the screen turning off when you make a call) but you'll find that on any piece of software. If you personally feel CM is a downgrade then it's your right to think so and go back to stock ROM. That doesn't mean the average xda-user is going to agree with you though.
(I think there are also a few ROMs based on the stock 2.3.6 versions, but since I've never used them I wouldn't know which ones are worth trying.)
