App: xtr50fix Android 2.1 only.
I made this app to try to help those with the 50% time without a signal issue. Learn more here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-647980.html)
The one trick that works with most 2.1 Eris ROMs is the airplane mode trick. All you do is put your phone in airplane mode for a little bit and turn airplane mode off and it fixes the issue.
Basically all this app does is upon boot, puts the phone in airplane mode then waits 12 seconds and then turns off airplane mode. Finally, it kills the service so it won't run again until the next reboot.
I know it's not elegant or anything, but it seems to do the job. There are no settings and there is no icon for the app. Just install the .apk and reboot your device.
Please let me know any feedback you might have... good or bad. Thanks!
2/2/2011 - v1 - Initial build. Seems to work fine on xtrROM and xtrSense.
Added some checks to make sure you are not already in airplane mode upon boot.
Sounds interesting, thanks! I just went back to xtrSENSE so this is perfect timing.
has anyone tried this app yet?
I went with this route and it helped me

Yes, that works as well, however, you still have to do that every time you boot up.
This seems to have worked on my optimus v. Thanks for your efforts!
Prior to this, I was constantly getting the 50% without signal mess...
Works perfectly on my Optimus V. Thanks so much for developing and sharing this fix.
Thank you lotus22! This has been included in the latest release of xtrSENSE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726467
Would this work on a Droid X? I get that bug and I'm rooted with stock 2.2.

I'm only replying so you don't feel ignored. No idea, myself, but can you do a nandroid on the X and try flashing this to see? You might be the first person to try, so you can let us know if it works!
For the record to everyone, this seems to work just fine with Gingerbread ROMs, too.

Lol appreciate it! Unfortunately it didn't put my phone in airplane mode when it booted back up.
I don't have a Droid X to test on... however, I did compile the program with the Android 2.1 SDK so it should work on anything with >= Android 2.1
Note: Don't flash this program. Just install the .apk like normal.

Thanks Zach! Glad you included it. I bought a Motorola Droid off my friend so I don't use an Eris for my main phone anymore. I'll have to test this out on my mom's Eris which uses xtrSense!
This app fixes the 3G drops with my Optimus V. If anyone is looking for automated reboots in order to automatically apply this fix every day, I use Phone Prioritizer.
Thanks for this. Hopefully my battery life increases.
Can someone tell me how to install the fix on an Optimus V? I tried downloading it directly and I get a message saying it is unsupported. I also tried installing it from gmail and it didn't work either.
I am about ready to return the phone if I can't get it to work.
Thanks,
Paul
Make sure in settings->Applications-> you turn on Installing Apps from Unknown Sources.
TWS/data drop fix
The fix50 app did fix the TWS problem on my optimus but didn't seem to do much for the battery or fix the data drop issue. I ran across this fix posted by greenmonster on an Android Central forum (http://forum.androidcentral.com/optimus-v/57943-excessive-battery-drain-even-standby.html):
To fix the issue, dial *#*#4636#*#* and it will load the testing screen. You do not have to press call. Select phone information.
My understanding of the bug is that even though the preferred network is set to "CDMA auto (PRL)", it is actually set to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)" because of a display bug.
The fix is to press Menu and then "Select radio band". The process will then force close. Go back to Phone info and select "CDMA only" and then select "CDMA auto (PRL)".

I'm going on day 3 now (no reboot) and have had a noticeable increase in battery life an no data drops that require an airplane mode toggle. Any way this might be made/incorporated into an app similar to fix50?
Data drop/TWS update
So I finally had a hiccup about 9:00 last night that caused a data drop- it was right after I lost a phone call & during a pretty serious storm, so don't know if that affected anything. I'm still pretty happy- I've never gone more than three or four hours without having to do the airplane mode toggle due to data drops- 60 hours without a drop is encouraging!
Time without signal also stayed in the single digits...
Installed and working on my Captivate running Froyo. Good stuff.

Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

If you still on cm10.1 then download keyboard from market and you are good to go Also stock 4.1.2 has this lag issue when incoming call its pretty annoying really

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?

Hi guys, I have annoying probnlem with my LG 4x... When I work little bit longer on my phone, it just starts to behave crazy. Screen starts to "touch himself" I just look at it and he starts to get in menus, opening pictures, closing apps, opening new ones... I just lock screen for 10 secs and than everything is fine for few minutes. Than same thing again. This happens with every ROM and every karnel I try til now. Works fine only with stock. I'm now on Beanstalk 4.4 and iodak 9.95. Thanks!!!

Its a weird issue, are you sure it works fine on stock? because it sounds like a digitizer issue to me (rather than software, since the rest of us dont have this issue)
im not sure where to begin lol, can you pull some logs? (dmesg and logcat)
Oh.. and I guessed it was only me.
I have this problem too, works fine with stock but it goes crazy with custom rom.
Any idea ?

No worries, nothing out of the ordinary in the logs, its looking more like hardware(hopefully im wrong). It might be worth testing a stock rom under the same conditions again, if there is no issue, then theres something weird going on. btw 50c is fine temp for cpu, around 75c is the limit.
Can you get a screen recording of it? (most 4.4 based roms have this functionality built in) this could be helpful also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ds.cpuoverlay

Hello,
recently my phone P880 ceases to function correctly. For example the problem with the gsm signal and 3G, someone still say me that I am inaccessible and he can not call me. When I try to call someone, the phone say SIM card disconnect, the signal is out and then after seconds again say reading sim card and then everything looks normal (this happen mostly when data are enabled, but sometimes also on wifi). Then in 70% calls (does not depend if incoming or outcoming) the mic does not work at all. I can hear anyone on the other side but he cannot hear me. When I hang up and call back everything works fine. And the last but not least the phone is really slow, sometimes I have to kill all apps if I want do something (write message, read email) or wait until the phone unfreeze (very annoying when I want to recieve call and I have to wait aprox 10-15 sec till the screen light up). In the phone there is almost nothing installed (just few apps which I really use), but still the RAM is always full at >80%.
I am curently running on stock 4.1.2 and decide to try something more lightweight to save battery and ram, but I have absolutely no idea which ROM is currently stable and working, so if you can recommend me some (I would prefer something on 4.4.x but it does not matter).
Thanks to everyone for response
Hello,
First Question: Which Baseband-Version is installed?
I can say that 4.4 is not as good as Stock.
Root, install CWM (Dont know if you had to open bootloader when only installing kernel and script?), install Titanium Backup or similar and remove the Bloatware! Then Install Iodak v9.5 and maybe Tegra4Binary and Phone is quick.

I am back on 4.1 stock just to test some things and after 10 hours on it i cant wait to get back to 4.4.x roms...I cant see any advantages of stock rom except visual ones (lg gui).U should write why is for you stock better i am curious.

Thank you for reply,
For the radio I include screenshot. The bootloader is unlocked, I did it about a 3/4 year ago but since this time I did not make any SW changes so now I am totally lost in the number of roms which are avable nowadays (last I was to change the system there was only bugged and not stable version).
E: For the GUI, it is not bad but when the homescreen (launcher) have to reboot everytime when I close (jump out) some apps there is something wrong.
E2: And also sometimes the light sensor does not work (I can move with the brigthness slider but nothing happen,I have to uncheck the automatic setting then I can change the brightness)
Did you try fleahing stock again via lg flesh tool ? Or.restoring backup if u have it ?

Because of the high battery drainage on use at CM. Stock has about 6 hours screen on.
There are quiet nice functions, like Quickmemo that i dont want to miss. (And better App compatibility sometimes... see "Whatsapp SIM")
The Performance is better than CM11 if you remove bloatware and flash Iodak Kernel/T4-Binary. Then gaming is nice too.
+ FM-Radio
I know that a phone with the newest security updates is nice, but when i flash CM i flash back in the next 1-3 days ...
But you can think otherwise over this!

If u manage to get 6 hours on screen time then u have 7000 mAh battery or you have some other phone since no one managed to get more then 4+ hours on this phone especialy on stock so this thing that you said is completly nonsence.There are apps that can replace quickmemo app on custom roms,iodak kernel is NOT working properly on stock rom (that is know fact evey iodak sayed it himself u can read it on iodak kernel thread) and for the last option u can use Spirit FM which is working great on CM-Liquid -Slim and all others custom roms.
P.S.Show us some proof for that 6 hours on screen time or your coment will be probably deleted by moderators since it is as i sad completly nonsence.
Will add Screenshot ASAP.
PS: Having no issues with Iodak 9.5 ... but 8 should work for everyone.
And here we go again. I want to call, signal lost, dial has been suspended, than I've got black screen with message "Reorganization of internal processes. Try it later". There is probably some problem with the firmware or something like that, I don't think it is HW problem. I will try some alternate ROM then I will write result.
EDIT: I try to find if someone have same problem and I found it on LG Optimus 3D:
Problems on Rogers Canada too. Both Rogers and LG deny any knoledge of the exsistance of this issue. I updated my phone in the middle of February, seemed ok for a week or so, then ghost calls and missed texts started happening. I have restored it and even reinstalled the firmware fresh a few times and the problem just keeps getting worse, in addition, I now have random loss of data connection, "reorganizing internal process" for 2-3 minutes wen I try to make an outgoing call and occasionaly my phone will ring and ring indeffenately when I miss a call even though I have voice mail, and I must restart my phone to stop the ringing. Thank you for running this story as I want everyone on earth to know I will never buy any LG product again due to there "deny the problem" approch to customer support, and I hope no one else does either. BTW, anyone want to buy a used LG Phone, TV, DVD Player, Sterio or Washer and Dryer? Next time I buy a different brand period.

I am on the same carrier as CaptianJack, same exact issues. Called "Carlos" at LG Support, said ICS 4 was due in 2nd or 3rd quarter. He then said possibly July.
My issues on 2.3.5
- Occasional missed text messages
- occasional missed calls
- long "reorganizing internal process" delays, can't make calls until it finishes.
- having to restart phone when phone when in 2G, loses signal then fails to regain 4G in known good area unless reboot
- longer camera loading times than previous 2.2
- choppy 3D video recordings

Stock kernel is good at keeping the phone cool, actually that's the only thing it is good at.Stock ROM + iodak kernel burns your phone, for real.Try it on CM11 and stock ROM, stock ROM heats it up a lot more.
Stock ROM is only good if you don't know how to customize a ROM properly.CM11 gives you the ability to have the control over your phone.In stock you can just change kernel, remove a few apps and just keep going on.
If you think 4.4 is worse, it's only cause you have no idea how to customize a ROM.
"The Performance is better than CM11 if you remove bloatware and flash Iodak Kernel/T4-Binary. Then gaming is nice too."
That's totally a lie.CM11 has less system requirements afterall.And LG is famous for making crap ROMs.For how many minutes have you used CM11? 1 or 2?

Remove bloatwares, services, whatever you want but stock ROM is full of bugs that you can face even from the first day.
If you want a phone with less bugs, install CM11.You don't expect us to fix an old ROM which is full of bugs, minor or major.
What? CM11 was daily driver in official and inofficial builds...
But i know, the most are in love with Cyanogen, what do you mean with customize?
Because of the very laggy behaviour of my I9070 after the official upgrade to JB, I decided to go for KitKat after reading good reviews about it.
All this is pretty new for me, but I succesfully rooted the phone, installed the ClockWorkMod recovery tool and flashed to Android 4.4.4.
The build number according to the settings menu is: carbon-janice-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 3a697bce2f test-keys
Overall the performance is excellent and the nasty lags in the youtube app are completely gone so I can finally watch movies again Also I am pleased about the look and feel of KitKat.
The problem is that when receiving an incoming call, it appears that the caller does not hear my voice during the first 5 seconds or so. Mostly this is the time that I say "hello <my name> speaking" but this is not heared by the caller. Now I am forced to wait those few seconds before saying my name. I tested it with my other home phone line and this unwanted behaviour does seem to be persistent.
It is pretty annoying and really a flaw to this otherwise great update. Any ideas how to fix this?

Because of the very laggy behaviour of my I9070 after the official upgrade to JB, I decided to go for KitKat after reading good reviews about it.
All this is pretty new for me, but I succesfully rooted the phone, installed the ClockWorkMod recovery tool and flashed to Android 4.4.4.
The build number according to the settings menu is: carbon-janice-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 3a697bce2f test-keys
Overall the performance is excellent and the nasty lags in the youtube app are completely gone so I can finally watch movies again Also I am pleased about the look and feel of KitKat.
The problem is that when receiving an incoming call, it appears that the caller does not hear my voice during the first 5 seconds or so. Mostly this is the time that I say "hello <my name> speaking" but this is not heared by the caller. Now I am forced to wait those few seconds before saying my name. I tested it with my other home phone line and this unwanted behaviour does seem to be persistent.
It is pretty annoying and really a flaw to this otherwise great update. Any ideas how to fix this?

I use Carbon rom 4.4.4, to be exactly the ROM-file CarbonKK_janice-4.4.4-20140627.zip
AFAIK this is still the most recent version. Maybe the problem was even worse with the previous builds.
But I did not have this problem with the, otherwise pretty laggy official JB upgrade from Samsung.... lets hope for a new update from Carbon that gets rid of the issue.

Hmm
Have not downloaded this version bcos the mega downloader gets stuck all the time
if the problem exists then why dont you try the AOSP rom
Off course it does not provide with all the features but its quite stable and we definately have gravitybox or many other apps for the additional features

I will definately consider this, I have not a very clear view on the differences between the different ROMS and tend to get lost in the flood of information on this site and others... I am not interested in lots of features but just want a fast, lag-free phone with the normal features: email, gmail, whatsapp, youtube, Google maps etc. If AOSP is more stable than Carbon, I will surely try it.

I installed the AOSP rom and it seems stable and maybe the call delay issue is better, still have to test it more.
I do however miss some nice functions which were present of the Carbon ROM:
- separate lockscreen background
- disabling the annoying Google Now bar on the homepages
- some fine tuning in icon colors
- kliing an app by long-press the back button
- defining hotkeys e.g. for the camera
and some more..
Is there maybe some package to install to add functions like this to the AOSP ?

Unfortunately the AOSP-4.4.4 ROM (build 20140620) is on second thoughts not working for me.
Though the install of the ROM and GApps went fine, I discovered that I had no internet when leaving my home with Wifi, and it appears that I had no connection with my provider and the icon always showed the R of "roaming".
Even after a new fresh install without the GApps the problem persists. The setting "Mobile data" appeared to be torned off, and ehen setting it to on, the triangle with exclamation mark and the (translated) message "The data connection has been broken because you left your home network while data roaming was turned off" (hope my translation makes sense).
So accessing my 3G network appears to be impossible and tham makes the build unusable for me. I installed the Carbon Janice 4.4.4 again and everything worked fine.
With the pa_gapps-mini.4.4.4 the system is up and running again and the incoming call delay is still somewhat of an issue but no show stopper. So for now I go that way...

Check if you have set up APN, on some ROMs it is not possible to be set automatically by provider. So you need to fill it manually. And you must do factory reset on ROM change to avoid those kind of problems too.

Do you mean a factoery reset just after installing the ROM and Gapps? I think indeed I have not done that.
For now it is working fine with Carbon but I will definately remember your tips for a next flash

Yes, factory reset before or after (just need to to it when you change ROM) install of a new ROM. Unless you just doing update to new version of the same ROM. Then you do wipe cache and dalvik cache.

OK I did those 3 steps before flashing the new ROM. Sometimes I even had to do it twoce because the ROM did not install and raised a error 7 or so...
I think it was more a problem with the APN configuration and never before needed to do this manually...

If you dirty flash (just wipe cache/dalvik and install) the new version, you want loose your apps etc.
But I would recommend to do a clean flash (factory reset and format system), but before backup your apps with Titanium. After installing the new version you can restore your apps and data.
But anyway, before wiping/installing anything do a nandroid backup. So if anything went wrong, you can go back in just a minute.
solution ?

Has anyone solved this problem ? I have this problem with every rom that i've tried. I'm losing patience with android phone.

Dont blame google for samsung mistakes. It isnt android problem couz my friend is using sII and there isnt any problem. Our phone is not an flagship like s 5 or nexus 5 so it has problems.
But this dealy is usefull sometimes.
For example if u want to unsware the call and u are stressed u can take a deep breath before u hear voice for other side

I am stressed when receiving an incoming call and caller don't hear me. I wait from mobile phone calling without problems.
I just wanted to know if there is a ROM without this problem or if anyone have solution.:cyclops:
@ian2189
This is our phones problem. 99% of the users (me too) were expiring this since gingerbread 2.3.6 . So i think there isnt a solution. I now why it is happening but it is unfixnable.
