hmm. ur using the 2.30? ver?
thats what i'm on. and i'm using the touchpro 2 skin.. and i've yet to have a single problem with it at all.. in fact i was using it on my xperia x1 so much that when i got the expo it was nearly the first thing in installed. love it to death. can view and dismiss calls and emails and texts and play music without ever unlocking my screen. have you tried removing/re-installing ?
im using 2.33. i havent reinstalled it yet. will do and let u know.
thx

u could always try a downgrade.. seeing as how the new version needed a hotfix for whatever reason and nothing in the changelog is something i can't live without... i'll stick with the older 2.30 version which does everything i need it to do .. almost..
thanks canoe i just d/l and installed the 2.30 version. and so far so good it's not having any of the hanging issues!!!
thanks
again
no problemo i usually wait to upgrade when there's like a MAJOR change. and i usually give it a few weeks to see what other people are saying about the update...
Hey guys
I had installed this back in Jan and found that I seemed to have less battery life when using it. Did read about others (non Expo/IQ) users having this issue. Has anyone else found this to be true on our devices? I've since removed it but kinda miss it.

I have had no bad effects on battery wiht s2u2, and i have been using it over a few devices for years. At least i havent had any effects that can be noticed.

Thanks jug6ernaut, I’ll reinstall it and play with it some more.
im with jug6ernaut.. i've been using this app since i think 1.44 and have never had a battery issue with it. and definately no noteworthy effect on batt life with this phone esp...
there's a few custom skins as well.. they can make it have even more EYE-CANDY
FYI s2u2 is up to S2U2 Updated to V2.34 now says fixed "occasional" hard to slide problem...i may test it later see if its fixed for me - has anyone tried yet?
i used it about 2 days and i had no problems except it using too much ram about 7mb so i dont use it any more but i really like it i guess ill wait till we get a clean rom to use it.
So are you guys using the fingerprint sensor with the s2u2? That seems kinda a lot to unlock the phone.
i have the fingerprint sensor to set to lock my phone after 15 mins and when i was using s2u2 i had it set to lock anytime i turned off the screen. it also worked great with s2p but my bluetooth hedset could not control it. using s2u2 with s2p you dont have to unlock to change song or change volume and it uses album art as your wallpaper.
Ok I am having some serious dialer lag. I am talking up to a minute to actually dialer a number that I have put in or chosen a contact before it actually dials. I am running the 2.1 update and don't know if this was an issue before this update as I just got the phone wihin the last month and downloaded the update right away.
I do use Advanced Task Killer and have killed everything before attempting to make a call but it is still just a laggy. I have also gone in and killed processes that are running like Sprint TV. Still have major lag issues.
Is there a way to fix this? I am getting so frustrated and am about to return the phone to Sprint!
For as cool as the Sense UI is, I don't think it was quite ready for the Hero.
Plus there are bugs that have been talked about quite a bit in the official 2.1 update for the Hero.
Hero + Sense = Dialer lag. Even after rooting and running a (mostly) much cleaner flavor of version 2.1, any rom I installed still had lag in the dialer app.
I finally scrapped Sense altogether and went with a vanilla aosp rom (darchdroid) and the whole device, including the dialer, runs smooth as butter. No lag at all.
Thank you!! I did try and run Drachroid 2.8 but it just kept looping on me so I do have another rom installed at the moment and will wait for a fix for 2.8. Any other Vanilla roms you would recommend?

It's possible that the bootloops happened to you because of the overclocked (OC) kernel in DarchDroid. Some phones cannot boot at overclocked speeds and will just bootloop while trying to load up.
The latest DD 2.8 already comes with an undervolted (UV) kernel, which some phones can boot better than the regular OC kernel, so it may just be that your phone doesn't like OC at all. Lots of phones here are like that.
Try flashing and booting DD2.8 on a FULL battery. You'll have a much better chance booting an OC kernel on a full battery, and while it's plugged into the charger still.
Another good Vanilla ROM I really liked was Ic3Rom, but it is no longer kept up so it's not as current as DD or the 2.2 Cyanogen Froyo ROM.
Good luck!
Try turning off the dialer sound in settings. That fixed the lag for me.
If you try the latest froyo nightly, it should boot, it's capped at 691- which is still overclocked but seems like everyone can boot.

I've been complaining to Sprint about the lag since before 2.1. Last night a Sprint tech said to come here for an "unofficial" way to get my phone running smooth, including rooting it to make it do things that aren't "supported." So after searching around here I see posts about Nandroid, rooting, backing up, restoring, and flashing roms. I've rooting iPod Touches but never a phone. I want to try this while I have hours to kill at work. Forgive the shortcutting but can you:
1. Point me to an updated step by step guide.
2. Point me to an updated recovery image.
3. Point me to an updated ROM that you PRAISE.
4. Pray for me.
Thanks,
Ken

Welcome to XDA! Just as an FYI, many of us here don't take too kindly to this. We have had to put in our time searching and reading -- it's only fair that you should too.
That being said, this thread will tell you how to root and will include a recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
That's all you get from me Now it's up to you to browse around and find a ROM that you like best. No one here can tell you which one the "best" one is....it's all about personal preferences and tastes. Browse the Development forum and try several ROMs. Also check the Themes and Apps forum for cool extras. You'll soon find what you like.
Good luck, and make sure you do PLENTY of reading here before doing anything to your phone.

I am running a non OC version of aloyuisus and i am loving it nothing ever lags i don't run task killers. I get great battery life, last me all day with moderate use, if i tether i always make sure its plugged in otherwise its never plugged in until late night. I listen to Audible and mp3s and probably make about 1 - 1.5 hrs worth of calls a day.
no random reboots either,

I had this same problem. Even after rooting and installing fresh 2.3.3 it wasn't much better. I was almost to the point of taking the phone back to sprint when i found Cyanogenmod 6. I started with test 4 which was still pretty buggy but the current nightly that is out is awesome. FroYo is the best thing that has ever happened to my phone. No Lag, EVER.

this is a bug that was never fixed by htc when 2.1 was released and finalized. do a google search, lots of people are having this issue. no fixes for it either as the hero was left behind by htc.

That one statement can't be said enough.
Read, attempt to comprehend, read some more and then do the work.
There are some apps and / or scripts nowadays that will give you "1-click root", but I frown on these to be honest. There's too much "magic stuff" going on behind the scenes that you're not aware of and if an issue pops up, it's harder to backtrack to figure out what went wrong.
1-click root apps are fine, later on down the road when you're comfortable with the process and just want to get it done, but manually running through the steps to root, backup and finally flash a new rom is the best way to go.
Hi everyone,
I have noticed a strange behaviour on my i9000, the phone gives a short vibration, everything hangs for matbe 10 seconds & it gives out three short vibrations & everything is back to normal. This is quite annoying because it happens randomly. When that happens say when I get a call, its ringing but I cant pick the call up because the phone doesn't respond.
I will be very thankful if someone helps me out. Thanks.
That's the sign that the Android system crashed and its rebooting. Seems like you have some stability issues. What ROM are you running on?

JPH, Thanks.
Has anyone else noticed this on their phones? This has been happening to me only on JPC earlier & now on JPH.
I'm running jph also and get the crash vibrations quite often... Will be rolling back to jm8 + voodoo when I get home as jph is the first time I've experienced so many vibration crashes!

Well, ive had the lag fix installed a few times and tried it with different settings.
No lag fix no problem.
Lag fix with slider over to the right gives lock ups and vibrations.
Slider in middle, no vibrations so far.
Ive done a wipe after removing lag fix as the problem only occured after installing lag fix. When removed problem still occured but after wipe and same apps issue does not occur.
I can recreate this problem on demand.

Thank you for clearing this up. We now know its the lagfix thats playing up.
Edit : Strange why noone has mentioned it in any of the pages that have been written till now, & quite a lot have been already written.
I have the same problems with vibrations. It happens from time to time without some special reason. I dont have RyanZA´s lag fix installed. My phone is not rooted. Using JPH. I think I´ll come bacak to JM8.
I do have this vibrations too!
But it only happens when I close an app! In my case it's pocket empires!
Maybe you should check if it happens after you close certain appz!
Only to fullfil, rooted JPH with NO lagfix

I hope RyanZA looks at this Thread.
I just fail to see how lag fix will cause this issue. I had this issue without any lag fix installed because the ROM that I was using was unstable and was a beta (JPC). This, to me sounds more like either a problem with the flashing or the ROM it self.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I have this problem with JPH and I have the RyanZA OCLF installed and enabled. I'll disable it and see if it goes away.
Of course in 3 days we'll have a firmware that will make all lag-fixes irrelevant anyway
Been running stock 2.2 with OCLF on top. The vibrations started after i upgraded to FroYo. Tried everything including uninstalling OCLF but to no avail. Now think i'll try a factory reset & see how things go.
My crashes are triggered by heavy web pages in the browser or multiple calls coming in. Its freakishly irritating. The worst part was that i couldn't unroot my phone & hand it over to samsung care to look at the issue; they'd immediately void warranty since its rooted.
Transferring all data back is going to be a pain though
hi everybody!!!
Firstly, thank you for wasting your time read my post which may not actually work for your device.
Ok, let's begin.I believe that I find a way to fix MIUI GPS problem. Maybe works for CM, but i haven't tested it.
It was all begin from I found a phenomenon that the first boot after I flashed a GPSfix.zip(download from MIUI.com), GPS would work perfectly, but the second time i booted, the third time i booted, GPS just broke down. So i thought that it was the script in the GPSfix.zip that made GPS work!!
Obviously, what I need to do is that to make sure the script runs every time I boot my phone. So I got an app "autostart.apk" for help. And then, I modified the script picked up from the GPSfix.zip.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL INSTRUCTION
1. flash gpsfix.zip in cmw.
2. install autostart.apk, reboot your phone, and click yes when ask for root.
3. Put the autostart.sh to /data/opt (you have to create opt folder yourself),reboot
4. use angrygps.apk for settings(mebased,cold start,sulp.nokia.com,7275) and testing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLAIMER
1. Also I would not be responsible for any problem caused.
2. I AM NOT a developer. I HAVEN'T STUDIED LINUX, NOT TO MENTION ANDROID. what i did is search on the Internet, holding the ethusiasm to MIUI. SO any suggestion is welcomed!!!!AND I hope a developer can carry on GPS fix job,cause I have no knowledge of android.
3. Sorry for my pooooooor english. BUT I think you can understand what i said.
4. I am not sure whether this way is suitable for you or not. If not, I am sorry. And I hope you can fight for MIUI GPS throughout, for you, for me, and for every Vibrant!

Strange, GPS has worked for me just fine on MIUI since 1.9.2. Sometimes GPS won't activate (satellite icon won't appear), but a reboot has always fixed it.
I was thinking the same thing. Ever since I've been using MIUI I have had a working GPS. I didn't know GPS was broken on MIUI.

Every gpsd I've used in my own fix or any other fix seems to be really sensitive to lock-failures - if you back out of an app that's trying to get a fix, for some reason gps never comes back online.
If I can get a fix first thing, this seems to never happen.

I think you're right, that has been my experience as well.
Regardless, it's reassuring to hear I'm not alone!
To everyone who said there GPS has always worked on miui, has your navigation worked too? Because my phone knows where I am if I'm still but never moving.
And I have been on miui since they have said to have had working GPS and the only think that worked for me is the cm7 fix. Well until 1.5 came out.

I hope someone figues out a fix. I really hate rebooting to get GPS to work.
You know what also was working since last night. I downloaded ADVANCED TASK KILLER, and killed everything, and it had the same effect as rebooting. The built in task killer in miui does not have the same effect. This ATK trick was working up till about 10 mins ago when my GPS wouldn't come on no matter what! I was forced to reboot. Other than that the ATK trick worked. You know what else....I found going into App manager...finding the APP GPStest and clearing the user data for some reason has the same effect as rebooting also, makes GPS in Maps work.
Strange observations I know.

Well, i think that's not a hardware issue to be worried about & don't mess with unknown and bugged up apps .
Why not try a re-flash (wipe cache & factory reset ) of BUILD8 ? If that doesn't also solve the issue then try Odin re-flash back to 2.2/2.3 and then again CM7.1 [with a Modem flash] to CM9 ?
