Hi guys,
I'm on 2.1 Stock ROM, no taskkillers etc.
My homescreen is completely frozen as I type now and I can't open the apps menu (the app drawer with 3D conveyor belt effects) or slide to any other homescreen whether i lock/unlock the screen as many times i want!
On touching any homescreen icon absolutely unrelated apps are launching, eg, on touching messaging icon the stock camera launches (whose icon is on a different homescreen!)...on touching market icon...color flashlight launches (icon not on any homescreen...straight in app menu/drawer) etc etc! So cant launch maps or anything. 8 icons on homescreen and remaining space is taken by weather widget donation HTC style clock.
Wait a min...a call just came through fine and I could answer it...after hanging up I could touch all home screen icons and they were working but then suddenly my entire home screen rotated and went to landscape mode! Like all home menu icons, weather clock etc are in landscape/vertical direction and not alined/fitted to the entire screen...as in the ends of icons are cut off as the whole page looks magnified cos its obv not intended to be like that. Landscape orientation is not supported or needed on homescreens/app menu etc on the N1. Why is this happening (never came across this orientation change issues in any forums inc. xda) , why the hang?! Weird things regarding touch sensitivity and screen behaviour etc keep happening from time to time but I know about all that screen, touch sensor make and quality issues etc etc.
Also, I've noticed that everytime after a restart my phone takes atleast 20 mins to half hour plus to get everything working snappily and respond at full speed, eg, till then homescreen transitions are not smooth, all gallery pics dont load up to show for a long while (16 gig class 2 sandisk card). Is this normal?
Sometimes after switching to 3G my 3G watchdog (mobile data transfer measurement app) doesn't auto launch (app issue maybe?) and sometimes no mater how many times I choose wifi ON, it doesn't turn on! Switching it off from power control widget (i.e., 3G on) and then on again doesn't turn on wifi either even when good signal on my laptop!
Earlier today my phone was lying on the desk and it auto-restarted god knows why! The phone freeze happened like 10-11 hours after the restart today afternoon so memory etc wasn't so full or too many apps launched. The home screen rotation orientation has changed before in the past too so not first time to be clear.
I have still more than 80 mb app memory free in internal memory and dont overload my phone with crappy apps etc etc.
Pls advice and discuss.
I know you're on a stock rom now, but have you previously unlocked the bootloader and flashed anything else like recoveries, roms, etc?
If you have and you just reverted back to a stock rom, you could've downloaded a bad rom.
Have you dropped your phone? banged it around a bit?

Nope...none of those...fresh as a daisy!
Ok, well 2 options...
Option #1 - Return your phone for a new one if it's under warranty.
Option #2 - Unlock the bootloader, upgrade your recovery, flash the new radio and upgrade to a new rom like cyanogenmod. Come to the Dark Side young skywalker.

So returning or rooting are my only options??? Why does the screen rotate weirdly? Is there any explanation of what's gone wrong?!
See if its a hardware n I root then I'll cry later due to voided warranty n in UK we get a 2 year warranty.
As far as bumps or knocks are concerned...ofcourse the phone takes normal hits or once or twice falls from my laptop to my carpeted floor but that's all.
There has to be logic behind this!
strange sceen happenings...
I've had the same ghost in my machine. In addition, my nexus would lose communication with the network and the cool startup screen with the streaming x would show. I had to pull the battery to get things back to normal. Enom suggested to watch my apps, he thought maybe one had a memory leak.
I found that moving my apps to my sdcard made my phone shot my phone to the streaming x about twice a day. Since wiping and not doing this, I haven't had that problem. I also found that my fav craigslist app was causing my screen to go unresponsive. I think the craigslist app was checking it's update and monopolized the cpu. Since my wipe i havent' installed it and the phone is working better.
Last, I installed nextheme 1.8.1. It also seems to quell the errant screen happenings. The screen still has it's moments, but if i press the off button and turn the phone back on again, i have control back.
I still have problems, but i've gotten them managable. I don't think it's a hardware problem because my rom choise and app selection really affect it. If it were hardware, it would be more consisitant regardless.
Hope this helps...
Hi there everybody
I've installed [ROM][ICS 4.0.3][Unoffical Port] AOKP Build23 by vibranturk ROM.

4. cant take secreenshot by default setting
5. sound is enabled but doesn't work. /not even play ringtones /
6. screen brightness not enough for day light
7. cant take photo by camera /android.media.process crashing/
Actually ROM is amazing. But without market its feels nothing.
Has anybody have same problem and about how to solve etc?
PS: I flashed 2 times.
You should start from fresh cuz not one problem that you stated has occured to me.....only bug is that when i reboot the batt % is off..
market works perfectly
...everything does atually
idk but just start fresh and wipe wipe wipe between flashes
i wipe before and after the flash

Use Glitch v14, the included has some slight lag and glitch fixed it up. You can also LiveOC which allows for overclocking of the CPU and GPU.
signal
Has anyone found the solution for the gray\blue signal switching? So far as I can tell it is caused by the wifi; whenever I go from mobile network to wifi data, the signal bars go gray. The only work-around has been to switch airplane mode on and off. Would switching to the newly released glitch kernel do the trick?
EDIT: I have found out the Google services problem (gray vs. blue signal) is only happening when I join a network which requires a redirect authentication OR if the power saver is enabled.
Just got this phone and flashed it with - AOKP Build23 by vibranturk ROM
I have been reading for awhile now before I received the phone. Thanks vibranturk for all the development here! Excellent roms!
1) When I start the camera app from app on homescreen and from unlock - the phone goes into a black screen
The camera app worked fine again after a reset (just turning off and back on) but after awhile it does the same thing - black screen.
During the black screen, I can press the home button to return back to homescreen
** Resetted again, and all seems well at the moment and still fine after 1 hour!
2) I am not sure if this is the rom or just my screen. Did not notice it at first when i flashed the rom. Turning on the screen to unlock the phone, ie when the light starts, i get this bright green full screen flash for like a second. It does not happen everytime and no pattern of when it happens either.
Anyone else having these problems?
Can someone please update the 'AOKP thread in Captivate Android Development' with my issues, just trying to help with the development.
For the signal blue/grey thing, Seems like it goes blue for me when i have data signal coming in, either wifi or data enabled - lights up both wifi signal (only if wifi is on) and signal bars blue.
I have power saver is enabled as well.
My only issues so far are: vibrate + sound doesn't work, touch screen is over sensitive on certain games, and sometimes using Swype in messaging doesn't input if app was already in foreground when replying.(can be fixed by minimizing and reopening the app) otherwise it's works great. fast/smooth and great battery life.
HI guys. I flashed the latest Nova HD build last week, and up till now it has a few problems.
Speaker not working (the normal one not the in-call speaker)
I tried playing videos on youtube and games and even my music but it does not work at all, I checked and all the volume settings are full. I have tried many solutions like rebooting the phone, reflashing the rom, blowing the speakers. It's worth noting that the sound works on my headphones when they are plugged in. HELP?!
Glitch-y notification bar
Sometimes the notification bar toggles cannot be seen and the whole notification drop-down is blank. For this one I have no idea what is going on but when I open an app or something like that and then exit the notification bar comes back. This one is just irritating, nothing much though.
Battery life isn't as good as claimed but small issue, I lived through a short battery life on my Motorola Atrix before the screen got smashed after I unbootlocked it.
Thanks in advance!!
Also..
It's worth noting that it's not a hardware issue I believe as the speaker was working on the MIUI Rom I flashed on it when I got it as a gift and never touched it until recently, and the headphone icon in the notification bar does not show up when the headphones are plugged in, and I can't remember if this is supposed to happen.

In cwm made three and flash ROM format. in aroma intaller not reformat and install the basic version (no custom). so try to find out if you have the same problem. What's important not to restore the system app with titanium backup.
Sorry for my English.
I'm sorry I didn't really get you. Are you suggesting that I flash a stock rom without backup and then switch back or flash a basic version of the rom without backup? Or flash cm9 stock without mods before switching back?

I dont have any bugs like you. Just try full wipe before flash the rom again.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
Actually you need to format 2 cache and not the third (date format / factory) that will also clear the rom.In this condition do not lose anything of your information. From there, install zip from sd / sd choose zip and flash rom nova. In aroma installer asked you to select rom based (you choose the first three options) and install.
Inviato dal mio LG-P990
Sorry
Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, I've been busy at school lately. Well I've basically redownloaded the rom, completely wiped the phone, including the dalvik cache, installed the rom free of any tweaks, before reinstalling the desired rom, and both have no effect on the speaker. I'm really lost but I can't really be bothered to unroot my phone and send it in, and still have to pay for it.
p.s. I have another problem. Sometimes while scrolling, the scrolling isnt smooth esp. when trying to add widgets etc. or change the app operations. Like the words all blend together for a while like it's laggin before returning to normal. Is this normal?
Thanks for all your input!
Did you try to match RIL? Download getRIL (search in google play) and see if your RIL is matching. I'm new here, so I'm not sure if what I'm saying is correct, hehehe.

Hey! Yea I would have done that if not for me being under 10 posts 0.o That's just because I never really found a need to use xda when I was on my Atrix as the Atrix forum was better.. thanks anyways ;p

I´m having quite a frustrating problem. Tried to search the net for hours, only finding a handful of people with the same issue but no solution. So, I wondered if anyone can help me out here? The problem is that my clock is not updating while screen is off. Naturally, this affects all alarms and notifications as well.
20:15 -> I adjust alarm to 20:30 and put the screen off. I press power right after the screen has gone off, and see the lockscreen.
Lockscreen informs it´s 20:15 and the alarm is set at 20:30.
20:30 -> Nothing happens.
20:45 -> I press power. Clock says 20:15 for a second. After one second, it shows 20:45, and the alarm starts ringing.
So the problem is quite easy to identify- the clock doesn´t get updated when screen is off. The moment I switch it on -seeing the lockscreen- it gets updated and acts accordingly if any alarms or notifications were to ring at the period it was not updating. However, it´s much less easy to find out what´s behind it. Could anyone spare me a hint here?
I´m running a rooted P7300 with CM10, 30/10 build. Using Tasker to underclock while the screen is off in order to preserve battery life. I thought that caused the problem, but while leaving the CPU untouched....
01:00 -> Switching tablet off, putting alarm at 9:00
09:10 -> Wife wakes me up instead of the alarm. I press power.
Clock says 8:48 for a second. After that second, it gets updated, shows 9:10, and the alarm starts ringing.
I´m getting a little clueless here, so any help would be appreciated.
Running rooted P7300 with CM10 (30/10 build).
Cheers, Henu.
EDIT: Ok, I´ve come to the conclusion that this freezing happens when entering Deep Sleep. If that could give anyone any clues?
Works on CM10 version 11-11
Hi,
I can confirm that it works correctly in CM10 from 11-11.
I only have one weird problem left: the device drains more power when turned of than in standby.
I have been running the 11_11 build since it was released and had not had clock issues until today. I am not overly technical and have no clue why it is happening again. But for as smooth as this rom is I will live with it.
When mine gets confused on time it will not reset itself once i wake the tablet up, it stays messed up until I manually fix it.

Launcher ?
Do you use the stock launcer? Mine did strange things when using the apex launcher. No problems with stock launcher from cm10.
I am using the stock launcher but have installed nova and thinking about giving it a try

You could try the clock sync app from the play store. It worked on my phone when it had clock sync issues with a rom. Unfortunately, i'm new to xda, so I can't post the link, but just go to the play store and search for clock sync. It's by Sergey Barinov.
Thanks, but unfortunately none of this methods helped- I´m still having the same issue even with the 11/11- build, running Clock Sync as well. Anyone could shed any light here? I wish I wouldn´t have to go back to some (yuck) stock version.
I don't know if this will help but I just resolved this issue for myself. I did a factory reset. And also wiped all caches and system before flash. Then immediately after flash before rebooting system I wiped everything again except system. And then I started up and there was no issue with the clock. I'm running cm 10. I hope this helps.

Sounds like voodoo but I´m all in for trying even that. I will post the results tomorrow.
To confirm:
1) Basic superwipe procedure (factory reset/ system, cache, dalvik)
2) flash OS -> don´t boot yet up to OS like normally
3) wipe cache & dalvik
4) THEN reboot -> to OS?
Voodoo, baby.
It worked. Seriously, what the hell. My wild guess is that some file(s) might be corrupted in the actual package- and when the system notices they are missing at the first boot, it will replace them with working ones. Then again, I´m no Android/ Linux expert.
With a clean install, I ran alarm after 8 hours. Worked. Then I added Apex Launcher, waited 2 hours. Alarm went on. Installed everything again with Titanium Backup, put alarm after an hour. Still worked. So I can confirm that it´s not app- dependant but OS- dependant. However, it worked, so thanks a goddamn zillion!!!
Congratulations. Just happy to help.

I´m going to snap this piece of junk into half soon.
The problems came back, no reason why. I´m now trying one more thing, which is completely disabling Tasker, as it´s basically the only thing running while the screen is off. If that doesn´t help, i´m clueless.
EDIT: What a surprise, it didn´t help. So, it´s either non- functioning CM10 or stock ICS. I could had settled with CM9 easily, but that gave me the battery bug after two weeks. Seriously, this whole me- buying- a- tablet- and- getting- it- to- work has been a living joke. I just would love to have a stripped down OS with a Kernel supporting "all sorts of stuff" like processor speed, running app restriction, tweakable backlight etc.
Ok, so I wiped cache and dalvik and it worked for a couple of hours. Then last night the clock froze again. And this was quite interesting..
Alarm set at 10:30
I wake up 11:15 (hey, it was New Year´s Eve )
I press power and the clock says 11:15 and next alarm is set "tuesday 10:30".
Two seconds later the alarm hops into "wednesday 10:30".
Two hours later I press power, and the clock is 11:15 for a second and jumps to real time. So it´s definitely broken again.
I was just wondering- maybe I could try replacing the clock with another kernel´s version, would that be possible? Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I also tried -once again- without automatic time& date (as my connectivity is set to cut off while the screen is off) and it still didn´t alarm me until I manually pressed the screen on.
EDIT2: Ran A1 kernel, no effect, still bugged.
EDIT3: Ran Tracid´s official ICS. Worked for a day, then bugged. Same thing with A1 kernel. I also had some serious issues with MTP connection and bootloader, so I restored stock and brought it back to the store where I got it for warranty repair. They think it´s a faulty MoBo.
I´m shamelessly bumping this. I ran the stock firmware with Odin and took it to the repair, as I wrote earlier.
Got the tab from warranty repair, seems that the only thing they had performed was "software update" . Very useful for someone who is constantly switching ROMs etc... like I hadn´t tried that before.
After returning to stock and all, I installed CM10 again. And "surprisingly", the problems started again. With or without apps, launchers, cachewipes, younameit. I´m now giving this a test with the stock ROM for a couple of days. I actually hope it doesn´t work, because that would be the only reasonable thing now. If it works with the stock ROM, I´m getting clueless. Does that mean I have some sort of issue which happens only in flashed ROMs instead of the stock one? That would be just....awkward.
Hey fellas, new to modding. Have a samsung captivate. Cutting right to the chase.
So i got this phone about 1 week ago. Used the stock ROM (2.3.5) for about 2 days. Then flashed CM 10. Then flashed CM 10.1. Now today flashed "Captivating (Xperia)" ROM. I've been facing one single problem in all the ROMS (That i didn't notice in the stock ROM), the colors are not proper in the custom ROMS. Like, pixelation (on a big level) at the regions where screen's black region meets any coloured region. (I know, difficult to understand & difficult to explain as well, so i've attached 2 images to show it).
I first noticed it on the CM 10 boot animation. It was highly pixelated at edges (both inside & outside the ring). Ugly to look.
& i know that it's not the resolution problem. (My friend is using the SGS 2, flashed CM 10.1 last night, has crisp clear graphics, same res & larger screen than captivate)
It's present EVERYWHERE. In bootanimation, wallpapers, videos, apps, etc. wherever black meets any color.
What is it.? How to fix it.? Is it any soft problem or a hardware problem.?
P.S. Going to setting -> advanced -> Color Tuning -> & setting-
Red - 1.000 (Default value)
Green - 1.000 (Default value)
Blue - 1.000 (Default value)
Red Gamma - -40
Green Gamma - -40
Blue Gamma - -40
does solve it a little, still the problem is there.
Moreover, it doesn't solve the prob of the bootanimation.
What to do.?
I have followed the same path from GB to CM10 to 10.1.
Never had any color shifting or LCD problems in months of use with CM. At one point I get a yellowish tint on a Semaphore kernel. I restored an earlier CM10.0 and the problem never repeated itself.
Do you have the problem on straight, stable CM10.0?
When you got the phone on GB, did it have the Corn kernel? What were the settings in Voodoo color? That might help you understand how to tweak JB settings.

As for I can see with the pics, your gamma is off the hook. That's not by default though, there's something that was changed. Did you play with Voodoo or color settings before and after flashing?
Did you try going back to stock and reflashing? (clean flash)
Did you try using different color temperature? (cold, warm, normal)
I see you reduced your gamma by quite a lot but there should be a better solution. Unless you have some overpowered digitalizer lol. Which brings me to think, was the screen replaced?
First off, the phone came with the official samsung 2.3.5 gingerbread ROM. At that time, i didn't notice any such issues (so i guess i can conclude that they were absent at that time).
Then i put in the speedmod kernel. Flashed cm10 (stable). Had this colour problem. I've now had this color problem ever since i flashed cm10.
On an unrelated note, m getting very poor battery life. I charge the phone till 100% (I've been leaving it at charging overnight since the last 2 charges, still the problem persists), & i remove the charger at about 7 in the morning. No music. A little (& very light) gaming (temple run, subway surfers, etc) for about 30 minutes total throughout the day. Screen brightness at lowest at max times during the day. very little calling. very little messaging. Oh, & NO cellular data connection (No GPRS, EDGE, 3G or anything for internet). Only wifi. That too for around 1 hour total. & still my battery goes flat to zero in about 12 hours (or even less). Is this normal.? I don't really remember how my battery was at the stock ROM, but it's like this on CM 10. Is this normal at all.? Is there any way to check battery.? Is it just a bad battery.? Or is this just the normal battery life of this phone.? (Cuz i read samsung galaxy S review on gsmarena, which is basically the same phone, & it manages to squeeze out around 3.5 days of battery life under their tests, which include pretty heavy usage with 3g enabled all the time)
& no, i got a new phone. So i really don't think the screen was replaced. Is it possible i was cheated through the dealer somehow.? I got it over at ebay.in.
M gonna flash stock ROM in a few hours. M currently downloading this one. Is this the correct one.?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
M confused, in settings now (in cm10), it shows Baseband version - I9000UGKG3. That ain't correct. Right.? How to know which stock rom i have to flash now.? I forgot to check my stock rom's baseband. I have to use the phone in India over the Indian baseband.
EDIT: Oh & i didn't change any settings (or any voodoo settings) for any kernel or anywhere at all. i noticed that colour problem in CM 10 boot animation. Many times. Then played around with display settings in cm10.

M confused, in settings now (in cm10), it shows Baseband version - I9000UGKG3. That ain't correct. Right.? How to know which stock rom i have to flash now.? I forgot to check my stock rom's baseband. I have to use the phone in India over the Indian baseband.
EDIT: Oh & i didn't change any settings (or any voodoo settings) for any kernel or anywhere at all. i noticed that colour problem in CM 10 boot animation. Many times. Then played around with display settings in cm10.

Oh god I hope I'm not too late. The Odin you've downloaded is a old version and contains froyo bootloaders.
You'll want Odin KK4 without Bootloaders to get back to stock.
If you already flashed the other one, you're most likely back on froyo or Eclair. You'll need Odin KK4 with Bootloaders to get back to stock GB.
As for the dealer, yes, it's possible that the phone isn't actually new or that the screen was replaced.

Phew. Thank god i've crossed my FUP limit & have an epic slow internet connection right now.
the file was still downloading. Otherwise i would've flashed with that. Thanks for the warning man.
Anyway, do u think stock ROM will solve the battery problem.?

Battery problems are user specific, not ROM specific. I'd highly suggest you get BetterBatteryStats to see what's draining your battery. Also, after flashing, it does take a couple full battery cycle to get the best outta your battery.

Hmm. Alright. But.. Really.. I've read some reviews.. (& also, i've written my usage above, is that even real.? Cuz a few weeks ago i was on motorola Defy+ & i could easily get 2 days of battery life at heavier usage than my current usage) & according to reviews, m supposed to get even more battery life on captivate.! That's why i was asking. Cuz gsmarena claims it gets 3.5 days of battery life under normal average load (Which m not even putting on it most of the time.!) & with 3g ENABLED.! (which m not enabling at all, infact no data connection via sim, only wifi, that too very less). Still just 12 hours of battery life.
Anyway, flashing stock ROM soon. Will use that for a week i think. To test out my phone. Then will see what to do.
EDIT: Another (& probably the most important) question.! Will the device still stay unlocked after flashing it back to stock ROM (i bought it factory unlocked)
the i9000 baseband is correct for cm10 captivatemtd build. captivate is a variant of galaxy s series, as is i9000.
that isn't to say that you should go flashing an i9000 rom.
captivate lacks several pieces of hardware that are in other galaxy s phones.

Unlock is permanent so you don't have to worry about that.
Getting 3.5 days with data enabled is nearly impossible with how old the phone and battery is. That would mean no sync, extremely low brightness, no widgets, no GPS/location access, perfect signal (4 bars) at all time and absolutely no gaming.
I would personally get about 2.5-3hrs on screen with my cappy, that was with data, sync, auto brightness enabled and medium usage. Back when I didn't have data though (Froyo days, with Firefly ROM), I would get at least 2 days with medium usage.
You gotta keep in mind that if that gsmarena is on a old firmware, he has about a 1/4 of the features CM has right now and well, more features = more battery drain. Also, battery highly depends on your apps/widgets, the more apps that sync, the more drain you get.
One last thing, CM isn't the only 4.2 ROM out there, feel free to try a few of them.

Alright. Right now m back to stock (2.3.5). Will keep this ROM for a few days. Check out the battery life. The max battery life i can get out of it.
& i don't know if the colour problem is still here in this ROM, but.. i really can't see it anymore. So gonna play around with this ROM. Thank you for your help people.
Oh.! Now i understand it.! M getting what is commonly called "Black Crush".!
Here's a video demonstrating it (In galaxy note & comparing it with a normal captivate)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a8aIGeLERg
That's why my screen colors were problematic.! & maybe still are problematic. Although i don't think m getting the black crush at THAT level. Any way to solve this issue.? :\

First time I hear about this so I dunno if there's a fix or not (other than getting another digitalizer).

M not gonna get a new digitalizer for it. Definitely not. I bought this phone just for general usage plus listening music. The colour problem has almost vanished ever since i flashed the stock ROM. The battery has also considerably increased.
I will live with the colour problem if i have to. It won't be worth buying a new digitalizer & replacing the old one.

After your testing, feel free to try another custom ROM, maybe other than CM this time and see if you get better results.

Okay. will do.
just confirmed another thing. I just flashed cm10.1 (directly from stock)
Now, I can see the color prob. only in the videos though. not images. anyway, it's confirmed new w.. the problem is not there on the stock ROM, but present in the cm 10, 10.1, n the xperia ROM.
n I've also noticed changing gamma values (all to -40) will reduce the prob by a large margin. dunno what the issue is here.
anyway, flashing semaphore kernel with voodoo colour settings now. will post the result in a few hours (or maybe tomorrow morning). all of your help is really appreciated.
EDIT: Flashing with the semaphore kernel with voodoo settings made it much worse. It made that colour problem MUCH MORE noticable. I mean i could literally see thousands of flawed pixels in every frame.!
Will stick with CM 10 stock kernel.
