Orientation problem with Nero ROMs - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a minor problem using Nero v4.1. This happened with Nero V3 also. It's not a big deal but gets annoying sometimes. Often, when I launch an app, the orientation would be horizontal even though the phone is completely level. I did some tests, and it seems if I tilt the phone prior to opening the app but then return to a level position, the app will open in the horizontal orientation. The phone seems to remember that I tilted it even though when I open the app, the phone is completely level. Has anyone of you experienced this problem? I couldn't seem to find anything about it. Can anyone test if the same thing happens?
Thanks.

Why are you creating a separate thread for this?? Post it in the Nero v3 or v4 thread...

You provide no information whatsoever about your issue. I would bet it's the launcher you're using and not the ROM. I have no issues using LauncherPro Plus.

Most likely the phone remembers the state it was in when the application was launched, and the halt that happens when it's loading prevents the update until the load is complete. Once it loads the app then it's free once more to update the phone state.

Because people obviously didn't see or didn't bother to respond. I posted it in the Nero v4 thread. I asked multiple times too...

I think I described my problem in great enough detail. It's hardly "no information whatsoever." Anyway, I'm using the gingerbread launcher that came with Nero v4.

This isn't a nero issue. with the recent leaks, the rotation sensor is really sensitive.
You can try to calibrate the accelerometer by going to Settings>Display>Horizontal Calibration

Thanks for the tip. I will try that. I'm gonna flash Nero v5 though. Hopefully the problem goes away. It shouldn't be a hardware problem right?

No vibrate

Recently rooted my vibrant. VERY new to this. Being cautious to avoid problems. Have downloaded rom manager and one click lag fix. My phone won't vibrate at all now. Any advice? Please and thank you.
Did you go to settings and click vibrate for notifications? And did you check the vibration intensity?

Or try the mysetting app in the market, change the ring profile to vibrate and see how it works out...
Yeah, I've tried all that. Just turned lag fix off and it's vibrating again... Hmmm... Anyone else running oclf from the market? I'm going to turn it back on again and see what happens. Will report back...
Yep, lag fix on, no vibration. Contacting the dev...
known problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8594554&postcount=2
hopefully it is resolved soon
Dev was very nice... And without making me feel too stupid, pointed out the update in the market that fixes the vibration issue. Haha!

I uninstalled launcher pro for a moded launcher pro plus. I unistalled it using Titanium.. now I can't replace it for some reason. I actually notice I was dealing with system files and its a bit different. Any ideas how to force to install it manually?
I read some where that winamp app causes auto mount.

Yeah it's definitely winamp. I had it installed and had the same issue. Instantly disappeared as soon as I uninstalled it.
It is a feature of Winamp. The automount may be toggled on/off from inside Winamp's settings.

Check in your About Phone and make sure you did get the JI6 update. That was supposed to fix the "known Issue" when i was talking with the tech support at TMO. Of course, i was running a third party rom and couldn't get the update so i flashed Bionix 1.9.1 which had the update built in and have been good since. If that doesn't work or if you DO have the update and still having the issue have them send a replacement as it is a defect and they will send a new one.
I had to exchange my phone, tmobile explained to me that its an issue with some phones and cannot be fixed so they sent me a replacement phone. I would one click unroot and exchange your phone. That is what I had to do.
Hi.. Thank you all for your response.. Is it possible to fix it if I flash it with a new ROM? Or is it becuse of hardware issue? I am waiting for a Froyo ROM to flash it. Would it fix the problem?
Thanks

Wow I wish my battery was that good...
Try repartitioning with stock ROM in ODIN. It seems to solve a lot of issues, but it will wipe your internal SD.
I have this same problem and I have had no luck fixing it with ANYTHING! I tried ODIN so many times and its always the same issue...
Moved to Q&A.
any body have fix usb connected ?
i've done all which is writes around the internernet after reading 400+ web site threads/posts still not able to solve, Please if anybody have done please share with us
thanks

Wanting to like the phone but...

It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?
Hey buddy aren't you from Hero Land??

I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

My Ace lights up for no reason

When my phone is idle, screen lights up for no reason. I don't see any incoming calls, messages or notifications. It lights up and returns to black in a second. When occurs the phone gets into a loop and acting this way forever.
I didn't install any new software for a while.
My Rom is Miracle V4 and I didn't have any issue with it up to now.
It drives me nuts! And it doesn't help my battery life
Thanks for your help!!

Is there anything I could do for stopping this? Any parameter to tweak?
Is my only solution to change for another rom not based on cm7?
what rom do you suggest?
I don't know if someone else cares about this issue but I think I've a lead.
I have made a backup of my ROM before the first time this pb occurred. Restoring this backup solved the pb.
Today the pb came back. It occurred because I was short of free space and I decided to clean the cache of each application.
Then the flashing pb - looping in lighting up and returning to black - is now back.
To stop it, I open each application installed on my phone in order to initialize the cache with some data.
No more flashing pb at least for one hour. Finger crossed.
Got same problem plus proximity sensor problem also!
Both were solved by changing kernel......
No random light up

I think it is a problem with the kernel. You should update them! I suggest dragonnn's "firekernel" beacause it is the most developed one in the moment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675023 Just flash it with CWM. You will still keep oc and the custom governors. You can even save battery with this new kernel.
Just let me know if it worked, because it worked also for me! My keybackllights never ever ligthened up radomly again.

I updated the kernel to firekernel-aroma-12.06.12

Thank you for the hint. Unfortunately I've no live wallpaper. I try to avoid this kind of apps to preserve my battery.
How did you trace the guilty application? May be I've something similar but I don't know how to find it out. The problem occurred out of the blue.
Umm it happened to me alot and i close some background apps and give it a reboot and tadaaaa no more lighting up unnecessarily . . . !

Because I had some troubles with Firekernel - free games with my bluetooth - I decided to flash my device with Ace kernel BETA 4 as you suggested.
Since then everything works as a charm!
So it is definitively a kernel problem. Thanks a lot for your help :good:

[Q] [ICS Lisbon][GReader]

Hi!
I can't post in the Lisbon thread yet so I'm posting here hoping someone could help!
I'm using this ROM for few hours and I'm already in love! But when I try to use a Google Reader post I only see a white screen I can see the posts list and they turns read or unread but I'm not able to read anything!
The installation was clear [wiped everything]...
Any advice to how to solve this? I use gReader a lot!

I believe that the white screen is a known issue with a number of apps on Lisbon. I myself have experienced the white screen you describe w/ my email and Facebook apps. The developer is aware of the white screen issue but is on holiday for 6 weeks. I believe that he said that he'd look into the white screen issue.
Thank you so much for answer me!
He did a great job with this rom so I'm sure he'll fix it
Meanwhile I can use some substitute app =)

it's acutally a known issue with ICS period.. it happens on my inspire running aosp 4.04 the best thing u can do is go to app info clear data and cache and try again.. usually works and doesn't come back for quite a while

Thanks! I actually was not aware that this was a known issue with ICS as a whole. I've been running CM9 on my Touchpad and have never experienced this issue in the past. Since the Flyer is the second device that I've owned that has run ICS, I just assumed that the white screen was a ROM issue as opposed to an ICS issue. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
