hey there.
i´m using an i9000 with the recent stable fishears cyanogen mod running on it. (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39171569#post39171569 for more technical info)
i was able to listen to music (with the apollo music player that came with the rom) without trouble via the speakers - but after i aquired a headset yesterdsay and plugged it in for a test it worked just fine - only problem was: the phone refused to afterwards play music via speakers after unplugging the headset again - i had to reboot the phone for that to work again. i didnt find any option to choose the output method. am i just blind or is there in fact something missing?
i dont really know if that problem is already known to you guys - so please excuse me if i overlooked an existing thread about this.
also - my english isnt that well used - feel free to ask if you dont understand what i´m writing...
anyway - thx for your efforts - its greatly appreciated.
Have you tried installing other rom to check if issue is with your phone hardware...
i dont really want mess with the rom if not absulutely necessary - there´s always a chance of bricking the phone with such actions...

I have flashed i9000 thousands of times however never had any issue with flashing
and while I´m grateful for your response you could work a bit at making it more useful...
so - is this bug known or not? I´m pretty sure that my phone hardware is okay - everything i checked makes it look like a software failure...

No....I dont think its a bug I have never came across such thing.
Happened to me I was flashing roms when i got my phone and speaker just stopped working. Im pretty sure its the speaker and I heard its a common problem on the i9000. New one is pretty cheap on ebay and the speaker is pretty easy to replace. BUT DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. Try a different rom and if it still doesnt work replace the speaker. Its a pretty easy and cheap repair Good Luck
Let's bring this to life!
I have an i9000M and after installing slimkat 4.4.2 (slimbean) the earpiece stopped working, also the home button. I'll switch ROMs to see. Maybe is the kernel? When I enter recovery (CWM 6.0.x.x) and go to test keys, the home button didn't log.

Not the home button, but the power button is used in CWM 6xxx

I downloaded Semaphore CWM (from semaphore's website) and now all works.
I was talking about the test key option in the Advanced Menu in CWM (you press all keys and it shows if they work, and what command they are assign to do) Volume Up was mapped as Volume Down and vice versa, Back was Home and Home didn't work at all.
Now all works!

Hi everyone...
I've been having problems with my Galaxy S since yesterday. After upgrading to XXJPM my display is rotated 180 degrees (completely upside down). Strangely enough, the touch interface seems to be working just fine.
For example, the "Phone" icon is supposed to be on the bottom-left of the screen. It is now displayed on the top-right corner (again, upside down) but in order to activate it I still have to touch the bottom-left corner right on the icon's original position.
The display is also rotated 180 degrees if I enter recovery or download mode, but the volume up-down buttons still function as is. There are times when the display will appear normal for a few seconds before rotating itself 180 degrees again.
I followed the installation steps to the letter, did everything properly, I even searched just in case other users had similar issues, but I still haven't found a fix yet (really sorry if I missed similar threads). I also tried calibrating the g-sensor, but that didn't solve the problem.
Auto-rotate works perfectly, but the screen is still upside down no matter which way I rotate the handset. The same goes for when auto-rotate is off.
Any thought will be highly appreciated. I'm also willing to make a small donation if necessary. I'm desperate for a solution

I did, but that didn't solve the problem. I think it has something to do with the bootloader since during startup the screen would show the normal Galaxy S logo correctly for about one second and then the display is rotated. Even the download/recovery interface is flipped.
The Good and the bad
Good news first: you are not the only one have this problem.
I have same problem after updated Nordic v. Froyo.
Bad one is I haven't got a clue how to sole the problem.
Let't belive ours has special talent which can jump twice more that ordinary ones.
try reflashing with one of the roms that has a bootloader included. search around not all do.. i know the jh2 for i9000m has bootloader..

Tried this, didn't work too. I also tried Tayutama Edition rom, actually it helps a bit. After finishing the sdcard scanning routine the screen would work just fine for quite a while before going straight back to being rotated. It is also still upside down during the entire boot process.
Found another interesting discovery. Still using Tayutama firmware, if I switch the Power-Saving Mode from Display settings off and on, the display will be reverted back to normal.
I wonder what's causing this issue in the first place...
Tried another fresh rom, still no improvement...
I attached a picture showing how the screen is upside down even in download mode. Notice how the USB port and the download mode triangle just don't match.
Any further advice would be highly appreciated
Solved Mine!
Make sure Galaxy lie FLAT(back of galaxy isn't flat)
Setting-Display-calibrate
Mine worked that way hope yours too.
Now landscape to potrate turn like cream
but added bonus is landscape turn either ways .
what a great addition.

I'm glad you fixed your Galaxy S though. Quick question: did you have the screen upside down during the Galaxy S logo animation on startup?
It seems diffren kind problem
I am sorry that my solution did not work for you.
Mine did work few hours after down load Froyo.
Then problem began.
Have you tried factory reset then calibration?

I have another Galaxy S in hand. The broken one still has its screen upside down. I was wondering if I can backup the bootloader and ROM of this new Galaxy S with the system working correctly to the broken one. Will that be possible?
As always, inputs are welcomed
Thanks wonbad!

Thanks! I had also problems with auto rotation, did even factory reset but did not start to work until made calibration you mentioned.
I've tried virtually anything to get the display fixed, including doing a complete rom backup of a healthy Galaxy S, and the display is still rotated. I think it really is a bootloader problem.
I took it to Samsung service center here in Bali. They said they can fix it, but they won't because I got the device in UK and I need to take it to a service center in the UK to get it fixed. Crazy...
A quick Note
==========
Just to make it clear, for any future reference, display rotation if shown when it is powered off and charging and also while booting, this is most probably a hardware issue, this can ONLy be achieved by replacing the LCD (or doing a hardware repair of the LCD) it has nothing to do with sensors or software.
Thanks.
Okay, my brother let me have his X1 unti I got a new phone recently he bought the Nokia N8.
The letters I, T, and M do not work on the qwerty keyboard part. For some reason, I think its the rom or something.
Also the volume key doesn't work either. I can't go to that bootloader mode for this phone. I'm really stuck because I want to flash to Firestorm's new rom. But the one its on now has HTC Sense or something like that. Please Help.

The keyboard gets dirty, it's quite common, search for threads that explain how to take the keyboard apart & clean it.
Yes, I think the volume down button is key for flashing - maybe it's just dirty too?

if you can get it connected via activesync to the pc then you can put it into bootloader using the thing supplied with someroms
Hi guys,
today I (again) used Task29 because the phone behaved strange (didn't find certain files anymore....again).
But this time its quite different. After finishing Task29 I wanted to enter the bootloader to flash the rom from my sd-card (\kovsimg.nbh)....but it won't start holding vol-down + power!!!
It does start normally, but hangs (due to no rom) at sony ericsson logo.
I can do hard reset, but as no rom is on the internal mem, it doesn't have any effect.
I need the bootloader, but it simply doesn't react on the key combo!
Has somebody got any idea?
I mean, it can't be bricked as everything else works like it should, right??
I have OliNex 0.72 since last couple of rom-flashes (~6). Been doing this for a while now....but each time successfully.
Please give me some feedback!
Thank you!
greets,
Andicp
the problem maybe on your Volume down hardware botton... try to reassamble the x1 and try to change the volume down hardware.. but you must have skill to soldering the hardware.. if you doesnt have the skill just go to phone service.. to change the volume down hardware...

Thanks for your reply!
But then it would act as if I'd push only the power button, right? And the Vol-Down button worked before that.
It simply doesn't react by using this key combo.
If I press power button alone, it switches on normally.
Any idea how to solve that?? Please help!
After some research it looks like I would need a Jtag box and adapter for the X1 plus any Jtag-Software to get a new bootloader onto the phone. This will be prolly around 250€ all together.
...so I'd say my beloved X1 is finally (after almost 2 years of usage and flashing fun) bricked.
I don't know how this happened but i am facing the truth right now.
Only way to revive it: Does anyone know a repair-shop in/ close to Munich which has the equipment??

Thanks for your reply!
But first linked thread implies that you can enter the os.
Second one uses cam-button instead of vol-down button, but thats not my problem as my vol-down button is working.
But this confirms that my problem really is the bootloader itself.
So, no luck so far.
Thanks for your help anyway!
fastboot not an option? or has SE that not?(download mode ect)
edit: forget that its an x1. and not an x10. sorry my fault
Hello,
my Optimus 2X (Speed) is going crazy. It opens apps on its own. When I try to scroll trough my contacts or my emails, the phone vibrates and does scroll on its own, and clicks randomly. So it is not possible, to use it at the moment. It seems like someone else is controlling the phone
I tried factory reset, full wipe, Modaco rom, Cyanogen Mod and Stock Rom. In all theses roms the (problem) behaviour is the same. I also tried different baseband versions.
Does anybody has the same problem or a simular?
Thank you for your help,
Hans
ps: This forum is great and i got a lot of help and knowhow just by reading passiv for 2 months.
i think your display is now wrong calibrated or damaged
Thanks for the answer.
Is it possible to re-calibrate the touchscreen?
Hans
i dont know definitly, my last phone had the same problem and it was not possible
I had the same problem when connected to hdmi. And yes when i touch the screen the wrong position is clicked. I brought to LG service center and they flashed the ROM and after that everything was much better. There's problem occasionally but most of the time it's ok. Not sure if it helps.
If the capacitive layer of the screen hasn't been damaged, then perhaps a hard reset would clear up any issues?
With the phone off, hold down Volume down + power to do a hard reset.
It'll wipe everything on the phone, but perhaps the last option barring reflashing the phone with new firmware.
use your warranty.

Thank you for your answers. I did flash different roms and did hard resets. But the problem was the same.
So I think I have to make use of the warranty.
Me and my brother got the same problem when connecting to our 19 Philips tv via hdmi, but a 40 samsung works fine. The phone is going most crazy when holding it in my hand, when I put it on a plane surface it almost stops with all the wierd behaviors, but it's damn slow. He got an original rom and I got a Modaco rom. So is it software or harware problems? The hdmi-output seems to be ok, if I pull the cable at diffrent angles nothing changes.

exactly what i experienced. My TV is 32" Toshiba. But after flashing by LG it was much better. Also, I use MOBO video player coz it's got options of turning off the whole touch screen except the 'option' button. After that the phone is ok while playing the video.
I have a friend that had a similar problem, and even after flashing everything back to stock the phone didn't seem to work properly... He returned it to warranty as it seems to be the only thing to do...

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my touch screen. It works fine most of the time, except, when I tap the same area many times very quickly (like when I'm backspacing a whole message), that par of the touch screen eventually becomes unresponsive. It becomes responsive again once I turn the screen lock on and off again (the top button). I've read a few threads around with very similar problems (not on here I don't think).
I replaced the touch screen a week ago, but I've only noticed this today, so I'm not sure whether or not it's related.
I'm just running standard LG software and haven't put any third party stuff on there (apart from apps). I've done a full reset using the update utility, and using the hidden menu, but this did not fix the problem.
Here's some details about my phone:
Model: LG-P970
Android Version: 2.3.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35
Build Number: GRJ22
Software Version: LG-P970-V20C
Please let me know if I should provide any more information. I'm just interested in knowing whether it's a problem with the touch screen, or the phone's software.
Also, I'm new to forums and what-not, so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know!.
Ok, I've realised this is in the wrong category. Was bound to have done something wrong - won't happen again!
Thanks
Hi there,
Tell me please, does the same happen on the touch keys (menu, home, back, search)?
Also, do you have any screen protector applied?
I have said this few times in other posts..iIts a strange bug, like the touch being lost.
Its fixed easy by locking the phone, thus shutting down the screeen and touch sensor. After few seconds unlock the phone and check if it is solved, or do the process again.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies, sorry I've been away for a while.
It doesn't tend to happen on the home, back, etc, keys. It tends to happen mostly near where the backspace key on the keyboard is. It happens in other places, but it takes a lot more to trigger it to happen in the other places. (by trigger, I mean if you tap the same spot heaps when writing a message it starts to happen).
Also, yes, I've applied a screen protector. The screen protector got put on about 10 hours after the new screen, but I can't for the life of me remember whether or not it was doing it without the screen protector.
Yes, locking and unlocking the phone does fix the problem, but it's a bit of a pain doing this a few times when writing a long message.
I'd really like to know if anyone can tell me whether replacing the touchscreen will solve the problem, or if its to do with other hardware/software. I've since started using the CM roms and it's still an issue.
Cheers.
I have a touch-screen problem with my LG P970 (CM-10 stable)
Hi,
I have been using my lg p970 for more than 2 yrs however when I installed cm10 stable i my phone it works fine for some time then touch-screen does not response properly. When I touch in one corner response comes from other corner, especially while typing when I press one key 2-3 other keys are also pressed even though the keys which are press not even close to each other. I have install another keyboard from market this has reduce some misbehavior.
Please any one has a 100% solution to this problem please reply.
Thank You.

For me it is rom related...

My main reason for reverting back to 2.3.4. Usually occurred when receiving a call; I couldn't answer or reboot the phone. I had to pull the battery every time.
I'm not aware of any fix, save reverting back to a GB ROM.

i think its hardware issue,,if i press and hold a little while on upper screen (right beside lg logo) touch screen became normal again. but sometimes need to hold on there when touch not work again. a member on this forum call it a flex issue of the touchscreen.
anyone know how much cost to replace it with new flex to fix this issue?

If it works with 2.3.4 and not other versions, it's a ROM issue. Changing the screens probably won't help.
This loss of touch was reported by many users, and it's always a 4.0.4+ problem. Something software-wise is crashing, or there's a driver bug.
