Sorry for the new thread, but search is down...
This may be a widely discussed issue, but does anyone else have some serious issues with stock 2.2 from Kies? I've had some problems with random reboots and Wifi glitching out (shows "Error" on status). Phone is also super laggy at times (especially with intense apps like Rhapsody). Except for the occasional capacitive button lag, I haven't really experienced these problems in Bionix...
Does this sound like a hardware issue? Or are these somewhat common problems with stock 2.2?
Very common problems with samsucks ****ty code. Never gonna figure figure out how ppl thay do this **** for free can do a better job than those that get paid to do it.

Yeah, that is pretty ridiculous. Still pretty much problem free on Bionix (as I almost always have been since getting the phone in November).
Would have sold this phone a long time ago if not for TW lol.
Hi all, I have bought my X10 some months ago.
I upgraded regularly my phone up to the first dualtouch release (rooting the phone regularly).
I experienced random problems with the stock roms (reboots) when using some applications and in particular when data is on.
The battery used to go hot sometimes and I had to remove it and put it back in place so that the phone could work again.
I have tried some 2.2 custom roms and the most stable I have found is the tripnmiui 2.2, probably in my case more stable than the stock rom.
I went back to the last 2.1 stock release (2.1.B.0.1) but the video recording works badly and I have reboots when capturing videos generally after 40 seconds.
I have noticed it reboots with trip's rom as well if I take videos in 720p.
I have not tried to go back to older stock releases supposing the last one was performing better.
Would you please suggest me a 2.1 stock rom or a 2.1 custom rom where the camera and video work just fine and I have little battery problems?
If there is a 2.2 rom where I can use video and camera like in the stock rom, would you please suggest it to me?
I am really pissed off.
I am an Ericsson employee (not SE) and I bought this phone so that when I am at the customer they do not see me hanging around with an Apple or a HTC or a Samsung (I received some comments in the past about going around with a Nokia).
But if this phone is so bad I swear I am gonna change it asap and never get another one (in Italy they unfortunately give us company phones which are more like K550, like stone age phones which I will never use).
If there is a way to fix it good, hoping that we get 2.3 asap, either way this is gonna go for sale and I'll get a new samsung or a HTC maybe.
Please help me if you can.
The 2.1 ROM bitsnacker by go3asy with camera enhancements and speed enhancers and performance mods is awesome. Plus it looks cool. No problems at all. Give it a look in the development section.
I personally love the phone. Gingerbread hopefully comes at the end of the month. Maybe.
If you need any links for things I will post them when I get home if you need any or help the flashing stuff.
Just let me know or others know.

Any of you have experienced camera problems (reboots) with stock roms in particular the most recent when capturing at 720p?
It is really strange in my opinion. I also got random reboots while using applications and that battery priblem (it becomes hot at times when data is on and the phone starts rebooting or does not turn on for a while).
Thanks Voelker, I will surely give it a try. I guess it would be great if you can provide the link as well. Thanks in advance.

Ok, I have found the ROM and installed it.
I still have an issue with my video recording in HD.
Recording stops after a few seconds and the system reboots.
Using bb_54 according to the build.
I am thinking something is wrong with the camera.
I have seen that there is a post with a zip file to fix the camera.
Maybe something went wrong in some of the flashing???

Yeah the reboots shouldn't happen. You can use flashtool over or seus to see if that can repair it. But I hope your problem gets solved.

The key words here is that you mention the overheating.
This was caused by a early baseband that overheated the chipset.
So you have residual damage on the motherboard and that causes the reboots.
I had the same issue.. after they replaced my motherboard all was good.
Overheating happens really rarely to be honest though.
I don't understand if there is a relation between overheating and video not working.
I just wanted to understand where the camera firmware resides and if and how it is flashed when changing baseband/rom.
Ok, last test performed. Went back to an old stock 2.1 release (2.1.A.435). Video recording in HD still causing reboot after a variable amount of time. Some other random reboots happen and the overheating problem happen sometimes as well. I would definitely say it is a hardware problem then. I will try to give the phone to an authorized maintenance center.
The X10 is now having maintenance. Let's just hope they won't waste my time trying upgrades or SW repairs.
My Atrix runs nice and smoothly for the most part. Apps are smooth as butter. My only issue is lag whenever I return to the homescreen. If I wake up the device after a while, or I return to the homescreen after using an app for a while, and I try to swipe to another homescreen, there's always a 1 second delay. It's not the biggest deal in the world, but it gets annoying seeing it all the time. The same thing happens with any launcher I try to use. Live wallpapers don't really make it lag more. I do use lots of Widgets, so maybe that's causing it. I don't know. Does anyone else have any insight on this?
I have the same issue. Using Lpro. I thought if I put into memory it won't happen but it doesn't help. A bit irritating.

yes, im experiencing this too, though I do not have a solution. Is what you're experiencing like right when you unlock the phone, and you try and swipe between homescreens, it's kind of like slow motion until like 2 seconds later, then it becomes full speed and buttery smooth?

Exactly. Does it happen to you when you exit an app as well?
I wonder whether this is a result of the way Tegra 2 handles processes. Maybe it slows down ADW (or other launcher) when not in use, but doesn't speed up quickly enough.
Hopefully future Gingerbread updates help fix this.
So...
I guess this is just an unfortunate side effect of Froyo not being optimized for dual-core processors? That sucks, especially considering that I haven't seen this happening with any other Android phone, dual-core or not.
I had a homescreen lag on my N1 with stock froyo, on my Nexus S with gingerbread. My MT4g hat no lag with froyo and sense. Attic has a lag occasionally. Ithink it is bad programming in android or the graphic overlay.

Hmm. That makes me think the upcoming Gingerbread update won't fix this.
I wonder whether there's anything I can freeze. I've already frozen the stock launcher (I use ADW) but it hasn't helped.

I can't speak for newer gingerbread versions. I returned my Nexus S after 3 weeks and it shipped with the original, too early released version of gingerbread that was horrible buggy. Hopefully, they fixed that in later versions. Let's see what version we get for the Atrix.
Is it just a select few people having this issue? As I browse the forums, most people say that the Atrix is perfect and has no lag.
Am I going to have to remove widgets to get rid of this homescreen stutter?
Grrr. This issue is like a grape juice stain on your white carpet. It's little, but it's there.
I'll stop bumping this, I guess not enough people are having this problem.

I have a notification bar lag that only a few people have. If I get an email and my phone is locked and I unlock it and try to swipe the notification bar down I need always 2 attempts to be successful...I have absolutely no idea what triggers this...
So! My mother is on the lookout for a new phone, and this guy is cheap on Verizons site. Her phone that she has now, the LG Revolution, has constant freezing issues that irritate her beyond all belief, and because I know Android she dumps them all on me. I'm looking for some questions answered about this phone before I decide if this is the phone for her:
I have read on the Engadget Review that this phone freezes often. After custom ROMs are installed (I'm thinking MIUI), is this problem alleviated?
The LG Revolution has this weird issue where it's way too easy to scroll on it, which makes opening icons on any homescreen app drawer a huge PITA.
I basically need to be able to install ROM, drop it in her hands, and feel comfortable that she's not going to run into any hardware issues with the phone. This includes freezing because of memory issues.
Also, the drop of 4G isn't an issue, it's not in the area anyways.
Thanks guys for your comments and advice ahead of time.
This device pretty much poops on the revolution. That being said my device never froze when it was stock. We have alot of rom options from mtd based roms such as android 4.0 ICS v4, CM7.1 stable, Miui, Tsm pool party...also there are some really good TouchWiz Ginberbread roms such as, Superclean v.5, PWGB, Geewiz etc... I currently am bouncing between cm7 and ICS, but I cant say those are the best roms, they all are pretty good. You will just have to try them and see what your mother likes best.
No freezing problems here, although it does bug out on me with random pressings of the back key. Sometimes the phone will enter screen capture mode and take a screen shot every time I try to power it down. Removing the screencapture apk solves this.
Overall it has been a good phone and has served me well. Gotta love that Samsung display!
I havent had this device for that long, but I love it compared to by old Droid X, mostly due to nicer screen, better battery life, and easier hack-ability.
That being said, I personally am curious on what has been done, if anything, to the LG.
Has it been rooted?
Are you running aftermarket software?
Some freezing issues can be solved by changing ram parameters, others by getting rid of certain bad apps.
I personally would like to see if your problems are actually solvable before getting a new and unfamiliar device, just for S&G's of course
It is rooted, and even after messing with the ram settings tweaked it still freezes. The other problem is that it dies way quickly, even with JuiceDefender and a calibrated battery. She's only had it for a week, so she's not yet settled on that one's ways.

I've had this phone for almost two years now and I've never had it freeze up on me. Install the SuperClean3 ROM. Solid ROM for that phone. I currently have ICS but for your mother's phone use SC3.

Does this happen on multiple ROMs, or just on stock?

I'm also a fan of SuperClean. Great rom, with none of the AOSP issues that I find to be annoying enough to avoid. If you want to tweak it a bit, add KGB kernel and maybe a different launcher (I like OMFGB-Launcher) and Rom Toolbox will handle just about everything else. This is my setup, no major tweaks (lag fix, etc) other than zram and 1.2 gHz overclock. Fast and stable.
i have tried almost all the roms out there, sense, no sense etc and the rezound is SO laggy. especially on ICS. the last thing i tried yesterday, was the stock LEaked ICS, and i debloated it myself, and it is so slow. i had to do a battery pull 4 times on the way home last night while using instagram. honestly, im using my INC2 now, and it is so much less laggy and faster on both, ICS and GB
the specs are so nice, but man, its terrible. the ONLY thing i have not tried are custom GB roms. i SO love the look and feel of this phone, and the battery life is good. but man, i cant take the laggyness. i sooooo want to solve this
thoughts?
maybe you have a lemon?
Not sure what lag you're seeing. Mine is pretty good. Every now and then some lag will creep up but overall its lagfree and snappy.
Most roms I've tried even gb roms are somewhat laggy except rezrom gb. Nils business ics is also good for me. Ics lag is mainly due to kernel as there is no source yet. Is the stock Rom laggy for you as well? I've noticed this phone doesn't respond too well to underclocking like my EVO did

the stock ICS leaked ROm, the latest one is not to bad, but is it laggy, and froze alot. no messing with the OS at all eiter. got really hot too for the first time
duel core?
Also, coming from a 512mb phone that was also dual core this phone flies
its just the battery life that's ****
yeah that sounds like you just got a bad phone. I'm running new ICS leak, Rooted, desensed myself and whatnot, also put it into tablet mode and it flies like crazy! No overheating or bad battery life. Ya got yourself a lemon.

How does one define lag anyways? What I might think is fast and quick maybe to slow for you. But as the others have said you may have a lemon. Look in the general thread for on how to s on. You will have to run the latest Gb ruu then do the s on command. I do not know it of the top of my head right now.. but make sure you are on a signed stock hboot before you s on
there's got to be something wrong with your phone. i'm still on stock & performance wise it's comperable to the galaxy nexus. oh and battery life sucks on all 4g phones.

Very true....i define lag as, when i press the home button, it takes a sec or two to get to home, all other phones i have owned goes right to home. opening apps, kinda slow compared to other phones as well. typing, VERY laggy unless i shut off vibration and the pop ups...
try factory reset it help sometimes after debloating
is ur rezound getting hot ?
its lags everytime ?
what the score u get from linpack ?
did u use setcpu ? or same app ?

Mine does not do that at all.
I do a fair bit of texting all day & using Smart Keyboard Pro with vibration/popups on I get absolutely no lag whatever.
My phone will run weeks at a time without rebooting or freezing & I don't remember it ever FCing in any situation.

Ahh hrm maybe it's just the Sense 4.0 ROM's that Instagram may or may not work on....haven't run a 3.6 ROM in a long time
I have a similar problem to the original post. It has been taking about 2-3 seconds to enter settings, bookmarks within browser, etc. I have boiled it down to maybe a hardware issue. My phone ran great on GB though, so idk.I am rooted with s-off on the ICS leak with the fixed kernel. It usually runs good after first installing a rom, but then lag along. And this is with no apps downloaded.
I have another unrooted, non s-off Rezound with GB and it flies. I think I am going to switch to that. Hopefully when we get official ICS I can compare the two devices.
Long story short, I have the same problem but I am finding most people don't have this lag issue. Don't know what is causing it. Maybe I screwed up my hardware during s-off.

I have no clue, good question though. Worth looking into for others. Although I think there is a way to get back to S-ON in a thread in the Development section? My phone was Stock S-Off so I lucked out with that, so I'm sure I can, I'm sure you would be able too as well.
