Glitchy Screen!

Hello, I set my phone up using CyanMod4.2.6 + Recovery 1.4 I came across a problem this morning where my phones screen was very glitchy. As in seeing multiple lines of things as I scrolled up or down. I've tried wiping and resetting.. converting back to stock.. new recovery image. All the same results. The kicker is... When the screen is open (I can see the keyboard) its perfectly fine.. No glitches or anything. Help if you can, please. Hope this is the right place to put it. Not sure if I need to send it back or get a new one. Thanks/Sorry in advanced!

can you enlighten us a little more, perhaps with some screenshots?

Since youve already wiped and reflashed I thinks its just dying on you man. Best way to check that i can think of is flash another rom and see if you still have the problem. If its still glitchy then i guess its call tmobile time. I hope u still have warranty bro. Dont forget to revert back to stock before you send it in.

Yup
Thanks guys, it got worse so just reverted back to stock and have my replacement coming by the end of this week. The software changes didn't do this right? They called it layering. Most def modding the phone again just wasn't sure if there was another cause then this other than crap happens..

[Q] Having problems with Android 2.3.4 on Samsung Captivate

Im having some problems with my phone. I recently rooted my phone with the rom found in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232703
Since i have put it in, I am having a problem with a few functions. The first problem is that i cannot accept phone calls. when i receive a call, a black screen comes up, i get the first half second of my ring tone, then my home screen comes up, it shows that i lose signal completely, then my time/date updates. anyone have any idea how i can fix this?
the other problem is that i cannot see txt messages by clicking on the message itself. normally a black screen would come up with white txt displaying the message, i no longer have that. Thats not as annoying as the answering though haha.
I was probably going to switch back to froyo but it would be nice to get this working
In order to get this rom, i rooted with fugu first, then installed the rom. Thanks for the help everyone

Not knowing too much about this ROM, I would 1st try going back to stock/master clear, and try to reflash it again. If you haven't flashed may ROM's I might suggest a ROM that has some serious traffic to it, most of the bugs will get either worked out or identified really quickly.
I don't mean any disrespect to the dev of this ROM at all, but like I said, if you're fairly new to flashing, go with a ROM that has some time in the trenches
It sounds like a bad flash to me so, I'd reflash to stock and try again

Well, if you want a Froyo ROM, I would ALWAYS suggest Phoenix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892973 go to page 1309 for the downloads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17129309&postcount=13082
If you want to use Gingerbread, Mosaic VI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061203
They are both VERY good ROM's. Phoenix isn't being dev'd too much anymore, but honestly, it doesn't need it. Most deving is going into GB now. If you want GB, give the instruction in Mosaic a good read, they are really clear. Just make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it

No prob! The install for GB is a little more complicated than Froyo. But, most important is read totally before you flash. It'll make your life so less stressful
Also double check what you use to get back to stock. Personally I use Odin 1 Click, but you need to be sure you don't have a specific build number(I dont know which ones they are) Or you could soft brick and need a Jig to get back into Download mode

How to restore to stock

I was just wondering what the easiest way to restore to stock is. I recently updated to gingerbread then rooted and then went to ginvervolt. Love the speed of it but now any text I sent doesnt get received so I need to go back to stock. I think this might be a phone issue but I still need to be stock to take it in.

Just restore the back up you made before you flashed the ROM

that one is still rooted I want to go back to completely stock can I just restore then use revo tool to flash back to stock?

You can get the system back to stock but your stock GB recovery is gone for good. Only way to get it back is to ADB push it from the back up that S.Meezy has. What I meant about the stock back up thing was it might be something underlying in the phone that a different restore, from a phone known to be working after the GB update, might fix. But yeah to get the system back to stock just restore your stock back up that you made. CWM is there for good until someone posts the stock recovery up and how to get it back into the phone.

I was afraid of that. ever since I rooted I have had the issue. It really stinks as my work dispatches through text.

So far You're the only person I've heard of having the issue of SMS not sending... Try doing a data wipe and then reflashing Gingervolt. If that doesn't fix it idk. Maybe mtmichaelson can shed some light on what to do when he checks the forums.

I have done that a few times and the weird thing is at first everything id fine then all of a sudden no one receives my messages normally a hard reset fixes it for a bit but then it does it again.

huh. I have a few questions.
1. Does it freeze up on your end or just not go through to the person you are sending it too?
2. What kind of service area are you in?
3. Is your wifi on? (idk why I'm asking this honestly it just seems like a good thing to ask...)
4. I was going to add a question here but as I was editing I forgot it...
and last but certainly not least
5. Are you using the stock messaging app or an after market one?

on my end it says sent but they never get received. My service area is pretty good not to mention I am a service person and I drive all day and it doesnt make a difference where I am.
my wifi is normally on but I have tried disabling t when this happens just to see what happens.
I am using stock messaging app should I try another one?

Yeah they do.. I wonder why you are getting weird languages.. lol
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result
No handcent but try this

So I went back to my previous back up and I removed a bloatware freezing program and it seems to be working. I wonder if the program was blocking something

Wrong again around 8 am it stopped working again. called verizon and they are sending me a new phone. is there anything I can do to try and hide the fact that I flashed and rooted the phone

Looks like verizon cant hit send in their systems either. They tech that was supposed to ship my phone never did. great so i got another tech who said she did something different but hey look 10 hours later and it doesnt work again man this is getting old

Should I maybe use the froyo restore and then try upgrading again?

I think you should use LGNSPT (I think I got that acronym right) to flash the V6 tot. That's the only way to completely reset the phone to an "out of the box" state and rule out any potential software problems.
After flashing V6, see if you can send texts. If you can, do the OTA update to V7, and then try texting again. If you still can, flash GingerVolt and make sure texting still works. I suggest checking if you can text at every step so you can narrow down if it's a specific version that's causing the problem.
But honestly, unless your phone has a hardware issue, flashing the tot will fix the problem. I've got a gut feeling that somehow your radio got messed up during the update process, and flashing the tot is the only way to fix that or any other random anomalies that could be messing your phone up.
A hassle? Yes, but probably less of one than dealing with Verizon to get a new phone. Coincidentally, this is the same thing you'd want to do before sending your phone back to Verizon.

Flashlight always on problem

Ok, so, I've had this for a while now... I've searched for solutions, found people with the same problem, but no definite answers, so I thought one of you guys can help me.
My flash (camera) light is always on. By always, I mean ...when the phone itself is on, i.e. the light doesn't go off until i turn the phone off... ALWAYS. The light is not at it's full strenght, it's somewhat hard to notice during the day for ex., but I just don't know how to turn it off.
I thought maybe that some app might be using it, but after checking into it, I don't think that's the case here...
So, any solutions or at least ideas on how to aproach this? Thanx...

then maybe try downloading other flashlight apps from play and doing the same thing?

I have torch app that comes with CM 10, and I've tried the thing, nothing...
I doubt that it will be different with other apps, but I'll try them too. Thanx.

Ok, just noticed one majpr thing - the flash is on even when the phone is turned off!!! Not sure what that means...
Btw, tried with 5 different app store apps, no change.

Same problem with stock ROM?

Haven't tried that yet... It's a major pain in the ass. And even if it resolves it, I'm not going back to stock, for sure.
But, if it is gone on stock, and then doesn't come back on new CM flash, then it could be worth it. (even if it's double pain in the ass)
But, I doubt that will be the case. I am thinking more and more that the problem is hardware orientated.
As for the time before I migrated to CM, I don't remember.
Anyway, thanx, I'll think about doing it if I have the time.

It's not that hard to try it, just to know if it's software or hardware related.
Make a full backup in recovery, then flash stock with Odin.
See if problem is solved.
If not, it's probably HW related.
Now you can just flash recovery and restore your backup if you don't have plans to bring it in for service.
If it's fixed, then it's probably best to make a clean cm install anyway.
Hope you'll find a solution.

I suppose my problem was hardware related (phone went through A LOT), but for you... Sorry, don't know.
You should definitly object to the seller, if you are in position. It's not a small problem.

[Q] No sensors - Stock 5.1

Hi all
So I flashed LMY47I onto my Google play Nexus 6, and now all the sensors (brightness, prox, gyro) are disabled. These were working fine before the flash and flash went well.
A few apps from Google play agree that my phone do not have any sensors. This makes me think its not some hardware issues since these are independent sensors.
I have tried clean flash, full wipe, but no changes.
Any ideas? Search in the forum only returns some Samsung stuff.
Thanks in advance
2015/04/25 Update:
Reflashed a few different unofficial roms, as well as official 5.1.0 one last time with full wipe and factory reset. Nothing worked.
Since I feel like I've already spent enough time on this, I just gave up and called google. Quick 5 minutes phone call and a replacement is on its way! At least the service is good :good:

I had the same issue originally with my pre-order unit, I ended up having to RMA it. No matter what I did, I could never get the sensors to start working again. I ended up taking a friends phone, grabbing his entire partition layout and stock dump and it still did not work.

I posted on here with what I think is the same issue. I noticed it with the accelerometer first because screen rotation stopped working, then I realized the compass wasn't working either. I hadn't noticed the light and proximity sensors, but after reading your post I checked and it seems those are broken too. I see the same thing that you are; apps seem to think my phone has no sensors at all. I checked the system logs and it seems that it throws some kind of access denied error when trying to use the sensor API. I haven't been able to fix it in 5.1, however, when I first noticed the issue I flashed the 5.0.1 image and they seemed to be working again (screen rotation worked at least) so I'm pretty sure the hardware is okay. I have just been using my phone with broken sensors, but it's really annoying.

Any luck? If yes, perhaps you could try a custom 5.1 or 5.1.1 rom and see if the sensors work.
You could play it safe by flashing one of the stock-based custom roms in the development forum.

My RMA process was handled through ATT since it was a pre-order item from them originally. I ended up trying CM12, stock and reflashing the PIT, nothing seemed to correct it so I just wanted to get a new unit as fast as possible.

Didn't work unfortunately.
I've updated the op. Basically I just called up Google and asked for replacement.

Sorry to bump and resurrect a dead thread -- my accelerometer stopped working after I accidentally dropped it on my hard wood floor.
I was able to get it working again by dropping it from 2.5 feet onto my carpet. I know it sounds crazy and dumb -- but that was my last resort before calling Google for a replacement.
All is working perfectly now.
It happened when I dropped my phone in my Carved case. I have dropped it accidentally with a spigen case (2 layers) never had a problem. Not blaming the case but pointing out the correlation.
