Alright, so I am relatively new to the HTC Legend (Not so much to the Android world, 8 month owner of a I9000). The phone was bought used for my girlfriend (Directed her away from the Iphone, and towards HTC as its my first choice these days). Phone is on Rogers here in Canada. The phone was sold to her with cyanogenmod 7.0.2 installed. She noticed that she wasnt getting any missed calls or new voicemails, which is a issue for her as she is on call 24/7. I upgraded to 7.0.3 on the weekend to see if the issues were resolved and no change. Googled the issue and found out it was a bug in the cm7 release....
I googled and searched to see if there had been anyone who had asked this question. Thought maybe someone on here may have ran across the same issue as me and perhaps can point me in the right direction, I have posted a posting up on the cyanogenmod forums as well. Site has worked wonders for my samsung I9000 so figured I would post up about this here as well....
Can I downgrade to cm6 easily? Does cm6 have the same issues as cm7 has with the missed calls and voicemail notifications?
If the answer is yes....
Can anyone direct me to where i can get a stock firmware for the phone so i can revert back to stock till the issues are resolved?
Thank you very much!
Hey, If your GF did not personalize the phone much, I'd recommend going to B0.8.4 ROM, all works perfect as far as I know (but it is Froyo as opposed from CM7 which is GB)
It feels almost like stock but it is faster with many advantages My GF has it as well as I have switched to DS
As for the backup/restore, I'm sure you know can move a lot of things with apps like TitaniumBackup, MyBackup etc... I'd go that way B0.8.4 suited me a lot as I wanted sense...
Cheers!
Cool, I will give that a try and see how it turns out. i do have titanium backup so I will run that on ther phone first this time before the upgrade. Link looks like a win win!
Thanks!
C7 is good
hey...the C7 mod was slightly slow and sluggish on my legend, but after i customized it, it is super fast, will post a video soon!
Hello everyone. I'm silly and didn't do a backup before installing the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM. It works great, but the phone itself has gotten a bit slow (even after overclocking to 825MHz) and there are a few other problems, like the phone freezing after hanging up a call. The animations are still fluid, it just takes a second for them to register, along with everything else. Some games are laggy too.
Summary: does anyone have the stock ROM for the LG Optimus V, or just a plain old Android 2.2 ROM? I'd like to revert back to the original settings as much as possible to have less of a toll on the phone. Thanks a bunch!
OR, if there's a better 2.2 ROM out there or something even better than that, chuck that in a reply, I'd love to hear about it. I'm still pretty new to this.
Again, thanks!
dont overclock to 825, its not worth it
When I was running 2.2, it sped up my phone to a whole new level. Why shouldn't I overclock it to 825MHz? The battery life was fine, the phone did not overheat, and it was completely stable.
Anyway, that is not what I was asking. Does anyone have/know where a stock Android 2.2 ROM is that I could download?
Im having a hard time figuring out how to get my keyboard running properly... tried many roms with all wipes/reset...different keyboards...turning off haptic/sound/auto complete...flashing kernels...At times everything is perfect (mostly at home) maybe something to do with wifi or being plugged in? but when I am out and about the S2 seems to slow to a crawl on any rom or setup I try...Homescreens lag but most noticeably is the keyboard.
I'm coming from HTC phones.. most recently the EVO3d and I gotta say Ive never experienced any keyboard lags ever...EVERYTHING was smooth as silk even with the heavy sense UI and bloated with apps...the HTCEVO3d ran flawlessly %99 of the time so I would assume the S2 can do the same?
I switched to the s2 mainly because of the size and samsungs gorgeous displays but at the moment I am regretting it...this s2 is suppose to be one of the best phones in the world...I am severely disapointed so far though I am convinced this thing will fly once set up properly...
Im just ripping my last hairs out at the moment...I feel like Ive tried everything...right now I am in love with my MIUI rom setup and really want to stay but it is useless to me if I cant whip off any emails or texts without the keyboard stuttering...ANyone have ANY more ideas?
There are always 3rd party keyboards that you can get from market. Swiftkey is the most popular. Personally i have no problem with the keyboard but if you really having problems try swiftkey

yaa.. swiftkey is good! also you could try 'slide it' it also fast with a few themes..
also if you are experiencing poor battery life.. it could be because of miui since the battery problem has occured with me!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thanks guys will try but like I mentioned I have been trying many keyboards and I will test swiftkey although I think I already have...
I guess my main issue here is that I possess one of/if not the best smartphones on the planet as far as I know? If I have no other choice but to "band-aid" the issue then I will return to an HTC device... I do believe there is an underlying sofware issue within the OS that I would like to address if possible...IF my old HTC Desire and desire z had no keyboard lag, this baby should have zero problems handling a keyboard...am I right? What gives?
Ill keep reading and trying new things I guess ... my last resort is to revert to samsung stock rom..there is no way it comes off the shelf this way. Like I mentioned before It acts up on every custom rom/kernel/keyboard Ive tried so far..mostly in sms when I leave my wifi zone or unplug...Otherwise at times its flawless and smooth.
I am using MIUI ICS Scotland rom at the moment with siyah kernel if that helps at all!
Tested Cyanogen/illusion/sensation/VillainROm and a few others with same results.
By the way MIUI scotland with ICS 4.0.1 has the best Battery Life Ive experienced so far.. most features and customization with fewest bugs in my experience anyway...I have my heart set on this rom on the S2 if only I could figure this keyboard mess out...
A thought Ive been looking into:
Is there anyway of setting my cpu to overclock only when the keyboard runs? I have a feeling the CPU is not responding properly if that makes any sense at all...it just seems like its not giving the keyboard any respect!
Suggestion is .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Hi,
Is anyone else experiencing this, or does anyone have a solution?
For some reason i'm not expereincing the full thrust of performance the Galaxy S3 has to offer.
The home screens 'jolt' when moving left to right, but the more annoying thing is that widgets (like the weather etc) KEEP disappearing and reloading (doesnt take long to reload, fine, but still! Galaxy S2 didnt do this!)
This was all noticiable in the 'TouchWiz' Launcher, so i thought i would try another launcher... Nope, same thing!! Apex, Launcher Pro, GO Launcher etc..
Also, some apps crash, more than the occasional crash you would experience on the S2.
It also freezes up on my for about 10 seconds before reloading the widgets/icons...
I've gone down SO many routes. Its definetly not that theres too much running, because i find myself closing apps through task manager ALL the time, more than i should need to ...But even with NO apps running, same thing
I just dont get, does anyone have a solution or could shed some light on WHY this is happening? I've hit a brick wall for trying to stop this and am hoping that its not just a 'dodgy device'!
Thank you to whoever responds...
Def sounds like a dud there. Try going into Apex launcher and tick the setting to keep the launcher in ram. Ive heard loads of problems about TW reloading itself after running things like the web browser and gaming :/
Dude just flash custom rom....or latest stock rom.

Shouldn't NEED to be flashing anything, mine was sheer awesome out of the box.
All I've done was flash the insecure kernel... which is the same just adb etc. enabled, and rooted.

Does the Omega 4.0 ROM work on the o2 Network?
Apologies if this is a dumb question :/

Networks do not matter with custom ROMs, as long as you are flashing a ROM for the right phone i.e. the international version, and not the north american version. (which you don't need to worry about yet because it's not out yet)
Check if you have Power Saving turned off. It throttles the CPU making scrolling etc noticeably slower.
Mine loads the weather widget coming out of S-Voice. But other than that never misses a beat. Smooth even when using 90% of its ram.
Did a test of its speed and its above the Asus prime easy, so sounds like you have an issue.

Similar issue with my phone... through I have not yet copied my songs and data... but exactly the similar problem...
same here
Man same thing here - only been 4 days since i bought my gs3 and i'm having issues.. i was running a benchmark when i saw cpu it said 1000MHz and max cycles 1400MHz i think we got a gs3 without exynos system - like they did with galaxy s2 had the i9100G model. Of tjis is the case and i find out i'm gonna spend any ounce of energy i have getting it replaced. The worst thibg is the browser cant handle videos on youtube. Performance is pathetic and weirdest tthibg i didnt have flipboard pre loaded on my gs3. Even now im on my gs3 and the browser wont let me fix "thing" that i wrote in the previous sentence. Totally shud have gotten htc one x
you all can flash latest version which should help with launcher redraw ... and after that do a full hard reset: *2767*3855#

I'm not having these issues. YouTube in browser is fast and no problems editing.

Not having any issues. Suggest you uninstall apps and track down what's causing you pain or take it back. There is nothing wrong with this phone. If you are having slow performance obviously a quad core phone may I suggest an iphone.
Yeah I'm being a prick but common sense and a bit of troubleshooting will teach you a life skill.

This did the trick for me. Also upgrading your firmware would also help.

Edit: phone is now running sweet with above patch and WanamLite, but will give Omega a try soon.

Same for me
The thing is that a big company that is trying to resemble other competitors cant release a product that will act that way and call it their flag ship.... Most of the owners wont twik it. the phone its a big draw back for me and disappointment... Really miss my s2 some times. Its one thing to pile new features wether they work or not and make the product worse than its predecessor. Big big disappointment. Happy with the screen, battery and looks though will wait for a proper Rom or Google clean products that are to come.

Your S2 has had a years worth of development and optimization. I bet you'll say the same about your S3 when we're all using the S4.
I completely agree with the guy. My most common activity on my phone is browsing whilst listening to music, and this phone just can't hack it. Waaaay too regular cut outs, I'm pissed off.
Remove all bloatware and corresponding background services, get a good kernel (Franco r5 is great), you'll find phone is much better, in a few months, it will have moved on loads and will be so much better

Yall are the odd ones out then. my phone was actually VERY VERY good at multi tasking out of the box. i could surf the web, play my music, and watch a movie with super video....and never get redraws, or hickups, leave apps open and keep going......i could not get it to do any lagging unless you speaking of the micro stutter in home screens. which is gone now with a custom rom and a few misc things here and there.
yall seem to keep wanting to blame it on the phone.....i dont quite understand this.
hi guys. so my mom has the tab 10.1. it used to work pretty well, but now its very slow and even though there is wifi connection the internet lags badly and most of the time she can't even watch youtube videos - they take forever to load and barely play. very strange to me. she recently updated to 4.3 and i think the problems started shortly after. should i root it and put stock rom on it (if such one exists for the tablets, i've never messed with android tablets)? any suggestions would help. thank you!
Are you sure she has the GT-P7500/P7510? We don't have stock 4.3.

@konoplya: You might try a full-wipe and re-install a 4.3.1-based ROM.
They are quite good in my opinion.
I suggest either SGT7 because I like Halo, or Diamond-ROM which is quite fluid and efficient.
The KK 4.4-Roms have quite some potential...
-"Turning Screen" and the screen-allocation works super-fast on those, while it is slow(er) on ALL Android-ROMs, even Stock...
- But they are not yet as "fluid" as the Diamond-ROM (4.3-based) and are not yet really stable.
- Softreboots do occour, even on the released version (hint to the devs, which think they got it fixed), even thought not so often...
- Camera-App is not included and I couldn't test it through skype yet, but the devs themself claim it to be broken, currently
- They also claim, that the microphone is not working... Not sure yet, but it seems to be partially working already! Maybe some Omni-Source changed, or whatever of my procedure to call a friend causes the microphone to work...
