Hello, I came to post here because I recently got a problem on my SGS.
When I receive calls, my vibrator works just fine, but when i receive messages or notifcations, it doesn't work at all.
I'll give you a little background, see if it can help :
I was on a JVS ROM, with a CF-ROOT 4.1 kernel when the problem first occured (I didn't touch anything). One week before the problem, i had just installed a MOD to solve the problem of the FC phone.apk
Annoyed by this problem, i flashed a JVT, then i did a reset factory and flashed a Semaphore 1.8 kernel. No more problem : great!
Then, i did my restore with Titanium Backup : Yikes! Problem is back.. I also installed a theme MOD based on a Somator MOD..
I tried to uninstall my message application (which is GOsms Pro) but problem is still the same..
And another piece of information : I've been turning off my vibrator often these past weeks, as I go to college i can't have my phone vibrating during a class.
Thank you for your time, please help me find a solution..
They sell these vibrators in special stores that you can try if you can't get your own going

I am in stock rom 2.3.4 and waiting for ics to come out and lately my phone often feeze alot like when i'm surfing the web or playing games.
And then the phone start to get very hot.
Is it because i flashed and flashed and flashed too many rom on my phone so much that it effect the hardware? Should i reflash stock rom again?
Reflash stock rom and then if that doesn't work contact LG and tell them your phone keeps on freezing. (Don't tell them that you flashed roms because that voids the warranty.)Hopefully they can fix it and if not replace it. Good luck!

try to find sound boost mod...i forget the link and the name
but i had tried mod file that used for reduce bad sound on ICS and JB
I am using offiicial 4.0.4 ICS with patched bootloader and rooted .I have used it for a long time and its slow .I want to go back to 2.2...I have old nandroid backups of 2.2 done with cwm 5.8.1.3 ......now ICS has version 6.0.1.4 ....so can i restore my old backup from this version....and I think I also have to put old bootloader....does anyone have old bootloader flashable from cwm .....or SFT is the only way
You can use other ROMs..like IZS, this also is on android 4..but it's very stable and fast, give it a try ... hmm and about 2.2, many apps don't support android 2.2, just 2.3 or up

Yes I downgraded with SFT and can't download subway surfer etc and even smart launcher gives problem when i change themes ,,,I am loosing a couple of things ...But my phone works good now. 2.3 has it's own issues...IZS is ICS(after a long term use it gets slow) I haven't tried IZS though....I think the OS that comes with the phone is always stable and best...rest all big upgrades are just for name sake. 2.2 is what the phone was launched with and its the most stable working OS till date for p970
I just have to make a choice now between stability and support.

Not exactly true.. most modifications to stock ROMs are greater..because are based on the stock ROM, and brings modifications to make the ROM more powerful than stock version
Try Zeus if you like 2.3..it is based on stock 2.3 but it is a lot faster,stable than stock ROM.. just 1 thing i don't like to Zeus, the keyboard..but you can flash another one(I like the gingerbread stock)

Heux ROMS are derived from stock ROMS and tweaked for performance...so they also the same bugs that stock have.I have already tried zeus rom long time back...in hope that it will solve the bug of stock 2.3..but it was the same
following are 2 major issues of 2.3
1)using handsfree when you try to switch songs it does not work and most of the times it wakes the phone...you can see the screen lit up even if you have locked the phone.
2)DLNA is broken ....some of the stereo music file just keeps buffering and hangs the phone.....
LG broke this very badly and did not fix in 2.3 even when i reported it in service station.....
issue #1 is there in ICS also ...and #2 is fixed in ICS
#2 is just a fancy feature for me as I don't use it and can live with it.
#1 is bad can't live with it......but from ICS I have learnt how to compile kernels just to fix this issue and know how to fix this handsfree issue.....I am planning to build 2.3 kernel with the fix ....but i don't know it will fix the screen wake up issue or not.....I just have to try it.
Now I have flashed stock 2.3 and subway surfer can be downloaded and works better than ICS ...lags only once in starting and then smooth.and smart launcher has no issues.....2.3 is actually smoother than 2.2

The screen turn on-off is OK but I want the handsfree to work...I switch songs with handsfree button and now when i do it it just stops the player instead on changing song...that's irritating....
OK and screen on-off bug is fixed in ICS but handsfree song switching is not fixed.....

Who said handsfree doesnt work? I play songs on my Nokia BH-503 and always switch songs using the handsfree. Also the pause play work flawlessly along with volume adjustment buttons as well. The screen wake is temporary as well maybe lasting for just 5 seconds. Check You handsfree maybe?

Handsfree doesn't work at me too..it's a problem with Optimus Black..the handsfree button is stopping the music..but the app Headset Button Controller works very well, i tested it

android version 2.2 has handsfree working perfectly .....
Lg broke in starting 2.3 and above...
I have fixed it in 4.0.4 by fixing the headset driver taking reference from 2.2 source code....
See my thread below...This patch also has headset driver fix...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184519
I am going to take 2.2 driver and put it in 2.3 and compile it to fix it.....
But i want arm-eabi-4.4.3 toolchain to compile it...and could not find it ...
There are some links which give this but as a combination with other toolchains ...but i have low bandwidth.
so can anyone provide me link to only arm-eabi-4.4.3 alone...
there's also 4.4.0 mentioned in readme ...so its really confusing ....but can try both....
link for 4.4.0 and 4.4.3 if some has ...I will try searching again on google..
I want to fix it at kernel level hence not interested in the apps...as this is supposed to be default feature of OS...which Lg broke....
=====from readme of kernel
2. Kernel Build
(1) Untar using following command at the android folder (./android/kernel)
$ tar xvfz P970_BDop_GingerBread_v20o_KERNEL.tar.gz
(2) Set the compile environment
- gcc 4.4.3
- Ubuntu 10.04.1
- export PATH=$PATH:/android_path/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/
("android_path" should be android path name in your system.)
(3) Run the script, "envsetup.sh" in the android folder.
$ cd android
$ ./build/envsetup.sh
(4) Execute make
- move to the kernel folder and execute make
$ cd kernel
$ make sniper_rev_a_emmc_defconfig ARCH=arm
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<android_path>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- zImage
("android_path" should be android path name in your system.)
- If the kernel is built sucessfully, you will find the build images in this directory,
"kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage"

Nokia BH-503 is Bluetooth....I am using wired hands-free that's comes with the phone...so it must be working for you......
Bluetooth and headset drivers are different....
finally got the kernel booting and also fixed the headset issue..by taking heaset driver from 2.2 ...
But now it wakes phone whenever song is changed by headset.the bug is lg's mp3 player .
If you use a different mp3 player then the phone will not wakeup.....
I tried to change mp3 player with the old one from 2.2 android.....but it does not work.Don't know why lg did this.....
but i am using it for my own benefit because my power button does not work most of the time....
if anyone wants to try i have attatched the kernel....it's not fancy just headset fix....
https://github.com/rajeshmk2011/lg_p970_gingerbreadkernel.git
fixed my power button and also speaker by following the info in below link......you have to put some more pressure on those parts...I use two three layers
of tape...
