Greetings. I have searched through the forms and I have not found anything specific about this. I am currently running VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed and when I try to load Skype all I get is a splash screen and then it just hangs there. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a fix?
i am also experiencing this as well, couldnt figure out how to work around this
vegan skype issues
hi, i have also got the same issue.
i uninstalled, and reinstalled skype , but it just hangs on the splash screen.
video calling on wifi was one key feature i cant go without.
i have found on google, alot of people are having camera issues.
if i record the screen freezes, does yours do the same?
if so it might be linked to skype locking when trying to access the camera.
hopefully vegan posts a fix soon , or i may need to flash with TNT.
Ok, I have discovered something. At the very bottom of the skype screen, just before the task/home bar, there is a botton that you can barely see. If you tap the button, you'll get skype to continue loading. I can't post images on the forums yet, so I can't show you what I'm talking about. I hope this helps.
I had skype running fine on stock ROM...
Once TnT upgraded to 1.2-4349 it hangs on the log-in ... have been intermitenly searching for a solution and haven't found one yet...I'lll see if I can see the "button" mentiond in this thread by tempis
update.....
After spinning for ever @login screen trying to log in, the back button worked ...I hit sign in, got the whir...but now all I have is a black screen and something about cannot connect to terms and conditions.....
ADDED: I realize your all using different ROMS....but I updated skype to Skype 1.0.0.983. and it now works again as it did before the firmware upgrade from Viewsonic/TnT...

I just thought that amidst all the abusing by various people, and asking and begging etc, the people who actually have the rom should post their findings on it so far. Maybe say what os u used to flash, and then any problems you have had with it.
I used XP SP2 32 bit, and these are the bugs ive found:
1)I have this weird thing with the battery where even after being on 80% at night, then charging overnight, both pocketplus4 and resco today say its on 95%. The light is also green before i pull the charger out.
2)I had a problem with wisbar not showing the full start menu, in that some parts only had icons and no text, but a reinstall fixed this.
3)Opera also doesnt load my homepage properly. I have set it to the athena mobile 6 forum, and whenever i load it, it goes to www.htc.com. But when i click settings, it userdefined is selected and its the right URL.
4)Theres no top line on the tabs at the bottom in settings just the lines between "personal" "system" and "connections", ill post a screen shot if needed...
5)finally, audio sometimes doesnt resume when i pause a video and resume it.. but the video does..
Im not trying to complain here, just thought it would be good for the team to ahve somewhere to look to see the bugs people have, and maybe you can try and iron them out for the full release. that is why there was a prerelease after all.
Fianlly, please REFRAIN FROM POSTING unless you have the rom.
If your device has been "bricked" by the prerelease spl, please post in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385148 not here.
Solutions to bugs:
The battery bug: no soultion yet
Opera Homepage bug: instead of going to a page, then settings and clicking use current page, copy the url, and click user defined and paste the link there
The settings tabs graphic problem: Solved by a hard reset. a hard reset may also solve all graphics problems
The audio not resuming problem: disable wow hd [ people said this, i tried it, didnt work for me]
Thanks to the team for all their hard work!
Rory
3) Opera homepage was wierd for me in not working initially when I set it but ok now.
Think what I did different was to set it in "User Defined"
Its not obvious but you can finger scroll the opera settings pages down to show more options
4) Line is ok for me, running RealVGA 96dpi
5) try turning off WOW HD Settings
AP4 works great for me. Other than a few missing icons I have zero problems. The battery (new) shows 100% when fully charged.
Agile Messenger
http://www.agilemobile.com/
is an example of several applications that appear to install fine, but when you try and run them, don't start. Maybe a WM6.1 problem rather than AP4.0 ?
I REALLY do not like Agile anymore. First, they charge. Second they send your password as plaintext! How stupid is that???
And yes I do have the 95-96% battery bug.
Flashed using XPSP2 - followed the PDF exactly by updating radio to 1.57 first and then installing enableRAPI.cab before starting the update process. Have flashed before so did not need to install the drivers from boot loader mode, they were already there.
1: Task Manager icon missing at 96dpi
2: logmein seems to be an issue with WM6.1
3: camera album hangs when opening a video, needing a soft reset
4: WMP will not open in Portrait orientation in 96dpi.
5: The comm manager is still only filling a quarter of the screen in 96dpi mode.
6: Device hangs when trying to open BT SAP settings in 96dpi.
I know some people have mentioned issues with the USB to PC storage mode, but i have not tried this yet, but will report back when i do.
gonna keep testing to see what i can find and update this as i find them.
EDIT:
Fixed no. 4. - Whenever i tried to open WMP in 96dpi portrait it simply crashed and closed again. fixed in the following steps.
set real VGA back to 192 and reboot device
open WMP in portrait.
Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap OK and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.
This was exactly the same way i used on the WMP bug in AP2/3.
USB to PC storage actually worked VERY well for me Saved me from having to download WM5torage.
I haven't had any of thoose problems. I flashed it via xp and just clicked on the athena wrapper. my thoughts so far is that its a nice rom some annoying problems I had were the screen oriention changing when ever I soft reset. soultion was to copy the toggle to windows\startup and reset and it won't change by itself. as for opera I hated the 9.5 so I uninstalled and installed 8.65 I cant get tomtom to install on this rom. but was able to run route 66. had problems with palringo(im client) and it upgrades itself. I installed schaps configurator and maxed at all the settings. runs super fast now! questions I have for the team is why do they recommend upgrading to 1.57 radio? im using 1.38 with out any problems. another is does the new home screen require net frame 3.0 to run? or why include it in the rom. if im wrong correct me but isn't it a beta?
overall good jobs guys
tomtom 6.03 installed and running fine for me.
Only odd thing is that as you drive screen keeps swapping between landscape and portrait, so just used the icon to disable auto rotate.
What about a option for no bugs?
another thing i just noticed is that the device runs much qiucker using the netcf 2 rather than the 3 thats installed on it. another thing i noticed is that if your sending a message using the attached keyboard when your typing the sender it wont pre guess it. but if i use the sip it works fine
still existing the problem with the watch, as for AP 3. The phone each time you reset moves the zone to GMT +2
I don't understand the brick advice. It is a regular update of rom.
There too much programs no needed, still waiting for a vainilla version.
Now i see what you mean by the battery bug. I had not noticed it previously.
If i charge the device to 100%, showing in the settings menu, DCI battery bar, and also green light, as soon as i unplug the device, it drops to 96% almost immediately. I can actually watch the battery bar clicking down each percent over around 15 seconds!!
Windows media player not opening in portrait at 96dpi has been solved, simply go back to 192 and open WMP in portrait. Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.
Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)
Once it has appeared on the screen, tap ok and then close WMP.
reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.

Have you read nothing on AP4.0? It certainly ISN'T a regular update of ROM!

Several bugs
I have installed AP4 according to the manual and it went like clockwork.
After four days of havy use I have noticed some problems:
1. On sunday and monday I had several problems with the microdrive. Several times the drive vanished in Resco Explorer or there were strange files, or complete directories were read only. Everytime a softreset solved it. I decided to flash my device again and now everything works fine.
2. I use TomTom very often. Installing works fine but with the latest versions 6.032 build 8351 and build 8355 I have problems. It happens very often when I am navigating and I change te route, that when TomTom is recalculating, the program gives a error saying that because of an error it can not calculate the route. Only a softreset solves the problem. Tomorrow I will test the wm2003 version 6.03 on AP4 to find out if WM6.1 is the problem.
3. Today I had several problems with the radio version 1.57. It was already installed when I used AP3. After entering my pin the device connected to the intenet but there was no trafic possible. A softreset solved it. But this happened several times today while driving on the road. I also noticed a problem I had in the past with my universal. While I had te problem I disabled the phone, but the connection stayed. There was also trafic. Very strange.
4. Another thing that bothers me is TouchFlo itself. Sometimes it makes it impossible to select text. Within TomTom the screen does not respond as it did in AP3. You have to press hard and for a longer time before TomTom noticed that you pushed the screen. The same TomTom has no problem on my HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris).
5. I used F-Secure for months now but now it will not install. I had to install compact framework 2 first.
6. I noticed another thing this aftenoon. When I was in TomTom te diable call button will minimize TomTom and you cannot see it anymore with WkTASK. First I thought it hd crashed but after starting it again I noticed that the program was running in the background.
7. This evening I was browsing with RSS hub and Opera. I was hitting a link and on te page was a flashvideo. After Opera had started the page was loaded but just before it was finished Opera shutdown completely.
8. I want to end this review with saying that I also have the probem with the battery indicator not showing the 100% energie level, the htc album freezing my device, iGO8 not wanting to start, Opera not wanting to start mediaplayer after hitting an mms link. Internet Explorer does, and several websites use a specific fonts which result in a webpage with very large text. E.g. http://mobiel.nu.nl/pda which normaly shows small fonts. I have no probem with it on AP3.
Beside all these problems I like the rom. Route66 workeds perfectly on AP4 so I can live with the TomTom problem. A few weeks ago my plus account ended and I did not renew it yet.
QAN
OK, battery bug seems to be getting worse, charges fully and light goes green, all battery meters read 93%, even when still plugged in!
I am also experiencing problems with the internet as detailed by Qan. It works fine for a while and then it stops and i have to soft reset. Am going to flash back to 1.50 radio as i never had a problem with that - although i am a bit worried about flashing a radio on the pre-release as it does not have the locked SPL that would be in the final release, but i suppose if i use an updater that only contains the radio, it shouldn't be a problem (famous last words!!).
I have noticed that my touch screen seems to be much less sensitive. This I am guessing is down to touchflo waiting to see if you are going to scroll and therefore it is not picking up the quick taps. Annoying, and possibly the one thing that will send me back to AP3 dual. The touch itself bugged the hell out of me for being so unresponsive on the touch screen, but the touch dual was much better. This seems to be at the level of the original touch and not sure it is something i can live with.
This is not to detract for the rest of the ROM. It is superb, and the current bugs are minor, and no doubt the guys and gals of the AP team will fix them all in no time. I just am not a big fan of touchflo and would rather it was not there. but hey, we all have our own personal tastes.
I am unhappy with the autorotation of the screen (you can imagine while you are driving).
The device is times no responding because maybe touchflo way of work.
I don't see special speed or capacity improvement from ap 3 and times speed is lower than generic 6.1
Bluetooth disconnect more often, but not sure if it is because I moved radio 1.53
The other point I see is that there are too much stuff programs for me. I use other ones and the problem is memory...
still waiting a vainilla version, if it is possible.
I would like to be a technician in order to understand the memory improvement this rom has meaning, may I ask somebody to explain please?
Using Droid Eris
KaosFroyo v 39 -- flashed w/ v39-gps-fix-signed.zip (thank you Kellinwood - it worked like a charm) to fix the gps (as name denotes) & browser issues
see thread here for link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10185051#post10185051
My problem:
I recieve a text message with a photo attached & it does not download the photo. There is a button to press on the screen to download (says 'download') when I press it, the button says 'downloading' but does not download the photo.
I dialed *228 (long press menu to pull up keyboard, pressed option 1, redid & pressed option 2). No effect.
All other texting works properly with text only, though I just tried to send a picture via share> Messaging & it will not send. It is eternally in a state of 'sending'
Also, on the home page (when locked) I chose to show the phone & messaging shortcuts (to go straight to either) & the messaging link is broken
I have searched for the solution & cannot find it. Also, being a new user, this is my first post, so any other known issues needed to fix with this version would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

When did the issue first appear? Was it after you flashed the GPS fix? Or did it work after the GPS fix then stop working a short time after? First, check the FAQ on the OP for KaosFroyo. As far as I know kaosfroyo doesn't have mms issues, but then again I haven't used it in quite a while. If nothing is mentioned there, then your best bet would be to wipe data/dalvik and reflash the ROM. Then test it out.
The same thing happened to me. I had flashed a Froyo Rom and mms wouldn't work for any of them. I'm stuck with Stock Sense which isn't horrible, but I like the perks of Froyo.
I haven't found a fix for our "unlucky" phones and I fear I never will. Fortunately, I won a Droid Incredible for a great price on ebay last night and I'll be leaving the Eris behind soon. I've had a lot of trouble with it and I want a device that at least I can fix its problems.
You could try replacing apns. I don't know the specific method, but just search for it and you'll find it. Just make sure you find the right one for the Eris and Verizon.

i have the galaxy for 5 monthes now..
switched tons or ROMs and kernels.
since i tried the 2.3.5 androidmeda(i think it started there) i have a problem answering my phone.
when someone call me i can slide it right in order to answer, the phone stop the ringtone like i answered but i cant hear anything hile the other side think someone answered him as he doesn't hear the tome anymore.
i tried to go back to KG5 but i cant get rid of it.
it got better as i changed the modem(used to be on KI4) to KE4 and KG5(the rom im with right now but its not good.i can answer but it takes 5-10 seconds before i see the call screen and able to talk properly.
tryied androidmeda,cognition,batista,xpower(the used to be),villain and so. none helped so i guess its not ROM related exactly.
Maybe some data was changed (such as the opening after trying androidmeda-the white turning cube and the android character insted of the samsung s 2 pic).
i tried various MODEMS in order to solve it but no progress yet.
anyone familiar with this problem?anyway to solve it?
Sounds like a hardware problem more than a rom problem. You have tried all them custom roms do its quite odd. Id say trying to go back to a full stock rom if you haddent already and maybe test out other voice features on the phone like voice record and the google voice search thing.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
So I have run in to a bit of a snag, and though I doubt it is ROM specific, I thought I'd start by asking here to see if anyone else has run across this and might have a fix
I first noticed it when I was running ShiftAO5P 3.2, and though I didnt specifically think 3.2.1 would fix it, I tried that, and now the problem has come back.
The gist of the issue is that if I havent used my phone to talk to someone for some unspecified length of time, when I call someone, they cant hear me. I can hear them just fine, but they can't hear anything from my end. If I hang up, and call right back, then it all works fine. Also, it is fine if they call me - works right away without having to re-make the call.
Like I said, I did a complete reload to get to 3.2.1(full wipe, and even reformatted sd card), and since I suspected the tiamat kernel and the call recorder app I had been using under 3.2, I didnt reload those pieces and stuck with just the stock 3.2.1
Everything seemed OK for about the first week or so, but now it is doing the same thing again.
I am guessing it is some app, but I have no idea how to try to chase it down.
I have a logcat that I just dumped right after the problem happened, but dont really know what process to look for.
Any suggestions? TIA!!!
Hi Folks,
This was the closet forum I could find for my phone. I actually have the GS2 HD LTE (i757) from Bell Mobility in Canada. Monday I finally received my Jelly Bean Update (4.1.2) I wish I could say I an excited however it has caused me so much stress, Ever since I installed it my phone has been terrible laggy. ICS gave me no troubles but after seeing the huge performance boost in my Wife's i9100m last month when it was available to hers I did not hesitate to update mine. Below I will list my symptoms, as well as the steps I have done to resolve this. I have search everywhere for an answer and have come up with nothing. Also to note, my Friend in the office has a Galaxy Note with a different provider (Telus) who received the update the same day, we can put our phones side by side and we both experience the exact same issue.
Setup:
i757 (S2 HD LTE)
Not Rooted
Symptoms:
Swiping to unlock is choppy
Opening Messaging to text takes three part (Loads the body, loads previous message and then keyboard loads in the middle of the screen and works its way down.
30-45 second pause to open the dialer
when clicking the power button to get to the lock screen it shows the desktop for a second, then god to my lock screen wallpaper then my lock screen icons appear. After this I can swipe.
loading apps
at startup RAM is 558MB/737MB. I hit clear memory right away it goes to 394MB/737MB. But open any app I am back up to to 550MB-600MB
Things I have tried:
Install install was Down with Kies as a regular update with all my Apps still installed.
I Wiped Cache and down a Factory Reset
Reloaded the Stock ROM with Odin3 v1.85
In developer options I disabled animation for Window, Transition and Animator
I disabled ripple effect for lock screen
I disabled Google Now
Tried to Wipe Cache then resume use without reloading OS
Tried Disabling GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and sync.
Installed Android assistant to clean up startup
Did another Factory Reset/Cache Wipe then install OS from MSD
None of these options have made a difference. The phone worked flawlessly on ICS, I don't know what else I can do. Has anyone experienced this issue? and if so have they fixed it?
At this point I will try anything before I take out the hammer and fix it for good. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
- Boots!
Also my Current status is Factory Reset/Wipe Cache OS Installed from SD Card nothing install.

Hi,
I have the exact same symptoms on my SGH-i757m.
The phone is brand new! I got it for the job, in replacement of my s2-i9100. As soon as I got it, I had the official ICS, then JB done to it...and it is an absolute disaster up to now.
Sometimes I can't even take an incoming call because the ''incoming call screen'' (with the green and red phones logo) freezes, giving me the ''com.android.phone has stopped'' error.
I'll be looking out for solutions, but I might just take it back to ICS soon...

Please keep this thread in mind, Anything I can find I will post it here. If you could do that same that would be great. My S2-i9100 was amazing with the Official JB release also. I am surprised more people are not complain online about this as I know my friend with the Note on Telus is having same issue (Update was released the same time for him) I also called Bell and their Tech support said they were receiving alot of the same issues since the May JB update..
Damn Lag has got my phone!
AH! damn update lag has got my phone and my girlfriends too! We both have the samsung galaxy HD LTE I757M phone and have exactly the issues all of you guys have. From extremely slow response to flickering and its just a pain in the ass. My girlfriend tried a factory reset which worked for about a week with no lag or anything but then just started the same lag issues we all have. A lot of people apparently are reporting that a factory reset does the charm but its only a matter of time before the issues creep back to your phone. Right now I am going to try a custom rom for our phones and hope that it works. If it does Ill post the results for you guys to hopefully benefit from.

I installed JB 4.1.2 today, saw some improvements, hope it is fixed for good !
The ram usage on boot (369MB / 737MB)
Sorry to post again !!
Okay, it started to lag as described by others. So I went back to 4.0.4... The battery life is better on Jelly Bean because it can reduce the screen's power (not just brightness)
I did this today, my last attempt with JB...
In Dial :: *2767*3855# (it formats everything, even sdcard, so backup your things before doing this !!!)
I configured ICS from the welcome screen (no gmail configuration, etc.)
Installed JB 4.1.2 from Kies.
I disabled the programs mentionned at my previous post...
There was still a lag when unlocking the phone. Tried Holo Locker and didn't do anything... still lags.
Then, I searched on the net :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224906
It seems TouchWiz has problems rendering Widgets on homescreen, so, I installed Nova Launcher to replace it.
For now, when receiving a SMS, after unlocking, the wallpaper can become black, but there is no lag like before. :good:
Same situation
My wife‘s i757m has the same situation. I wiped to factory and uninstall like "let's golf", google play music. Then it turned much better for about 1week and then be back lag lag lag again.
I have no idea why it is so ridiculous , cause my friend's I727(GS2HD rogers) is very good after he updated his in March.
Please help me SGH-1757M
I have the same Issues.
After upgrading the Phone to 4.1.2 bellow issues identified.
1) When Incoming call comes the Phone Frezes and Green and Red button on the screen does not work
2) Some times it works but when I get any call the Phone rings with black screen and after some time it comes with number and then caller id and then answer button
3) Every time when I went to Messaging it loads the messages with number and next updates the Caller ID and then body of the messages and text editor
4) Morning when alarm rings phone Freezes and does not allow me to stop the alaram and force restart the Phone.
I am having so amny problems like this .
Please suggest what we can do here to resolve these issues.
