[Q] Whats wrong with my phone?

Here are the problems ive been facing after upgrading my phones os from 2.1 to 2.2 through ODIN.
1. Glitch in menu scrolling (rough..gets stuck and isint smooth like on 2.1 eclair)
2. Samsung Keyboard capslock double click doesnt make it permanently capital but rather gets it back to typing small letters anew.
3. Home screen doesnt auto-rotate.
4. Alphabets on the right side of contacts, spread horizontally for ease of finding contacts, disappear once i try scrolling on it through my finger.
5. Cant change shortcuts from the default launcher whereas could do so in 2.1 (Eclair)
6. Default Email application doesnt load emails properly. Also when i click on an email to read it and it opens, i try zooming in through pinch technology but it is not at all smooth. Cant scroll emails side by side to read the whole email properly.
Have you guys been facing such similar problems? Please tell me how do i get rid of this? I had contacted a guy from youtube who made videos on stufflike rooting, lagfixing phones and he helped me out thoroughly till this point where my phone really started giving me problems. He doesnt even reply properly to me now. Need you guys to help me out as soon as you can. Any suggestion and advice will be appreciated

is it a costume rom?

Ahh just downloaded xda and checked your reply. Well, it wasn't. It was just a rooted samsung galaxy s before but now my computed engineer actually tweaked with it and got a dell firmware in my sgs lol. It doesn't lag much now but I have to keep rebooting it..because of kernal upload mode randomely making my phones screen go black. I think I probably am waiting for sgs3 to release.

I am using it since november with no major problems...(status bar won't slide down sometimes).. There is no option for video call, but I am pleased just with voice call.. If you need video call , search market for "tango video calls"

Try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qik.android
Although the camera display seems to be rotated...

EDIT: sorry wrong thread

Skype works perfectly for me^^

Do you still have to kill it in the task manager or is there an option for closing the app now?

Was just being an idiot. It is just that the OP said "last time I tried" where the app has been working for months.

Thanks for being the lag rat

Yay! Thank you crawjr. You've been doing an awful lot around here man. Good works.
I think this really aught to go into the development section, it would get more attention and I think it fits the classification.

*internet forum high five*

Thanks much! Samsung gives us a menu option of what log we want to narrow it down to but only as a radial button to pick one. I wish they would make it a checkbox option and the ability to pick multiple logs to show at the same time. That way people could customize for what THEY want to see.

great idea. Hrmm... I wonder. Is this something a dev could manage? I'm not savvy enough to work out anything like that.

Or even to just add to the stock selection list of:
All logs
All calls
Missed calls
Dialed calls
Received calls
All texts
Sent messages
Received messages

crawrj,
Used this on two different phones with you rom below,

I linked to the wrong one. Its deodexed.

I am experiencing the same issue with force closes when using SMS. I am running
[Odin]Stock EH06 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19/Working Browser and
[MOD]EH06/EG22/themed_8_lockscreens/StatusBar[MOD][Maddoggin][UPDATE 8/16/11] and [Hack] [EH06] [DEODEX]AIO MOD

Is there any way to REMOVE this fix? I'd rather have the SMSs in the log than have the FCs every time I hit the menu button.
And it did wipe out all of my logs when I flashed it.
I'm fully prepared to just ODIN EH06 again, but it would be nice if I didn't have to.
Of course I didn't do a backup before flashing this file.

Thanks. I'll keep that handy.
Since I hadn't done that much, I just used ODIN and started fresh.
I'm debating trying it again, because that phone log including SMS is really annoying. But so far, it's the only thing not working right for me.

Which 8 lock mod are you using? I had the problem with the clean blue version and I tried Shanes version from honeycomb and it still did it. Doesn't happen with his theme and I don't recall it happening on the stock version of 8 lock.

I'm using the mod for STOCK EH06-- EH06_stock_locks.zip
I thought that was the one I had to use, since there is no theme installed. But I'm realizing that if I had used another one, it would have installed that theme... correct?
I then flashed the AIO mod over that. So I still look kind of stock. Except for the themed GoLauncherEX.
Which I'm very pleased to say has working Gmail notifications, since the Stock ROM had Gmail 3.4.1.5 installed and I haven't updated to 3.5!! Yay me.

I'm having the same issue (almost). I'm using the stock deodexed verson from the link you posted. After flashing it, the dialer FC's when I try to open the logs tab. I'm totally stock minus bloatware with no mods or themes.
Have you been able to out what might be causing this? Or a work around? I found people with the same issue with eg22 but nothing about a fix.

Was using hangouts, but when trying to send audio files or videos its a PITA!!!
Then I went to this new "evolve" messaging app.. while it seemed cool, I texted the WRONG person something I shouldn't have.. To say the least I was pissed. Then the stupid will give me error messages when sending pictures.. Guess what.
Why change something thats NOT BROKE! Stock messaging app is actually AWESOME!
ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ISSUES!
Unlesss someone can tell me a good reason to switch, I'm staying

I've been on Evolve since it came out (I still had my S4). It would crash constantly and I would never be able to send/receive pics and the Dev is a d!ck. Got my S5 and been on the stock messaging app and haven't looked back! Might try out Hoverchat (previously NinjaSMS).

I'm finding stock to be really sluggish with a lot Of lag. I uSe textra. It's very fast.

How many SMS did you send per minute?
Sent from my SM-G900F using xda app-developers app

Actually since you mentioned hover chat. I tried it and loved it!!
Then like every single other app, something is missing.. can't send videos..
so it gets a big F

Only had the phone a weekend, so take this with a grain of salt. . .
Started stock obviously, but I got sick of Touchwiz on day 1 so switched to the Google Launcher.
When I did that, Google tries to take everything, (msg app included) so I started using Hangouts.
It is horrible. Really bad. The basic functionality is OK, but it is the other garbage that they stick in the way that annoys so much.
Sure- I could send this message using G+, but why would I, and now you've made me waste time telling you that.
Back to standard app, which seems better than previous Samsung versions. Open to suggestions though

Can you send videos, location, calendar events?

I'm using Go sms pro. Found the stock app to be really laggy especially with large conversations. I think it was trying to load all the convos or something, as go sms only loads a handful at a time. Also has nice themes etc

I'm using Hover Chat since I used my S3. And now, I'm still using it on my S5.
I don't know, but I love the interface and all.

Default app.

EvolveSMS: it's well designed, fast and has a clean and sharp ui.

I'm using Handcent as I like the level of customisation, the missed text reminder, different missed text tone options, plus able to give different contacts different LED colors, flash rates and vibration patterns. I've been using it for years and haven't come across anything better...

Hello. It's great, it works, it's light and clean. It fires up way faster than the stock app.

Hoverchat because I love the chat heads clone on it.
I used to use hangouts, but not being able to stack pictures into a single MMS (hoverchat doesn't either but whatever) led me to trying others.

I also use Textra. It's simple, light, and I love the quick reply window that pops up whenever I get a text.

Galaxy S does that by defaut (excepted led color + flash rates) since S3 i think (i was using Light Flow for that back then).
Yes, i'm using defaut app, best to keep things simple imo.
I only install google keyboard to get better recognition while swyping.
I wonder how some people could crash it as i had some history of several years of messages imported and never seen any messaging app crash on any of my Galaxy S.

Advance Messaging on AT&T

Anyone else experiencing issues with the feature since the last two updates? CSGA and CSGB is when mine started to basically not work at all. Just wondering is any other XDA folks are experiencing this issue and if you found a workaround

My messaging is still working fine, but my phone app seems temperamental now. When I make my call, I have to turn off my screen, count to 5, and then turn it back on to have in-call control. I also use Google Voice, but that hasn't seemed to have any impact.

I dumped advanced messaging always gave me issues.

So what do you use instead? To send high quality pics and videos and such? Also does it have a form of rcs

I just use stock messaging. Really didnt see a difference when I sent video clips with advanced messaging.
