Over the last 24 hours i've noticed my mini pro doing something wierd.
The home button seems to not work/phone not responding to it. but also the lockscreen no longer pops up when i turn the screen on. I've looked in both the settings and cyanogen mod setttings.
I know i could probably fix it with a factory reset but i really don't want to have to do that. because i have apps/setup exactly how i like it.
Has anyone else experienced this and know of an easy fix?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
y'know what. I'm just gonna factory reset and set everything back up. driving me a bit nuts not being able to use the home key...
Your patience busted out in 6 hours. im sorry for what you experienced....
mine also has some glitches and it rarely happens. i wonder if it is the CM7 rom you are using. you can confirm if it is ok with the stock rom.
OR
you can flash your kernel to a custom kernel and use and see. screen touch was waaaaaaay much better on custom kernel. i loved it. see if that works....
OR
try another rom for a change and see if it is rom problem......
Good luck!

I think the rom was fine. I don't know what caused it, but it's fine now.
I reflashed the Cyanocream Sandwich rom following the intructions on the dev page. And everything is working again.
Thanks anyway

Thats the rom. i've flashed back to stock 2.1 with the update. but im not sure what RFS is. I downloaded the one click UI for Vibrant with all kinds of options so i tried to flash the rom from there. It installed a cwm for me and i flashed the zip, went through but on reboot the cwm3's buttons are backwards and the rom wont start, keeps rebooting at the kernel screen and has wiped my internal sd. here are the instructions. thanks for any help.
~ To flash this rom you should be on RFS and then flash through recovery.
~ Once finished flashing, reboot
~ Now you should seriously just let it sit there for 15 minutes. I know, you want to play with it, but if you don't do this you will have problems. Period.
~ After 15 minutes, reboot. Don't even click through the startup screen, reboot right where it loaded.
~ After it reboots go through the startup and sign into google. Now let it sit there until google is completely done syncing.
~ Once sync is finished. Reboot AGAIN.
~ On next boot, now open your app drawer, open ext4 app and choose to convert to ext4
~ The key here is to be patient, let the conversion do its thing. It will reboot automatically when done.
~ Now when your phone boots back up you'll think you are good to go. WRONG! Give it ONE FINAL REBOOT.
rfs is the state your system files are at when Voodo (ext4) is disabled. So in other words, disable voodo before flashing this rom.
Now as to the way you should flash this, kudus to you for odining to stock. Now do it again, after so reboot to recovery. The update.zip file you had before should still be on your sd so once you enter stock recovery hit reinstall packages then the phone will reboot and either you'll face the 3e recovery or you'll have to hit reinstall again. Now once you're there wipe data then flash the rom's zip as usual.
i think i messed with the recovery before i flashed it cause i thought thered be a special kernel for it but i guess it flashes it with the rom. cool thanks man. btw which rom do you like the best so far? are you on gingerbread and whats your battery life like?

Im on MIUI now, that's GB. Battery life is good, obviously not as good as 2.2 or 2.2.1 though. But IMO it's damn worth it.
Try the two roms Dan ported on EDT they're both equally great and snappy. Especially Juwe.

i actually really like this rom, the only issue is i cant flash the kernels from sgs flasher, it always fails. is there a way i can take these zImage files and turn them into zips so i can flash them in cwm? The kernel is supposed to repair the video and camera app

Camera and video are fixed on the miui kernel. Its just that for some reason the rom refuses to play any other vid except the stock samsung one. So flashing the rainbow kernel won't fix that, hell it won't work in the first place since this needs its own cm7 like kernel.

I've been on Asgard for about 2-3 weeks.
LOVE it.
Battery life is amazing! I get 16 hours, but thats with light-moderate use.

That really is nothing special. Not taking anything from asgwrd, great rom, just saying 16 hours with light use ain't exactly sth to brag about even while on gb.

Yes, camera and only the stock video works on miui regardless of the cm7 kernel you flash.

Uhm, not to ruin your whole flashing process, but alot of people have had problems with TW4 on Asgard, some haven't if you follow the official thread's instructions, but even after following it, i did, and i'm using Launcher Pro now.

hey xrider did you get the camera and video working on asgard? which kernel did you use and what method did you use to flash it? i tried the 1.2 rainbow(not sure what the rainbow effect is yet) and it just changed the video and camera from black to this snowey kind of screen
edit: strange i was messing with the battery and recalibrated it, tried to reboot into recovery to wipe battery stats with both the power button from the os, and then 3 button and neither worked, but on reboot camera and video work... hmph. since i solved that maybe you guys can tell me how to wipe battery stats from the OS, ive heard it can help improve battery life
So I Installed the TerraSilent 1.3.5 Kernel and the DrEaM Ultra Rom. And I'm loving it, works great looks awesome. However for some reason the capacitive buttons at the bottom (Menu, home, Back) Don't light up like they used to. Im not sure if its an issue with the kernel or the rom. Either way I can't post on their topics about it because I have less then 10 posts.
Anyone know whats causing it? Or how to fix it?
I'm sure that it isn't the kernel. works fine for me.
Try another ROM (Klin's or Hanthesolo's) and look whether this problem is still there.
I figured it was a rom issue, but wasn't sure. Downloading and preparing to flash a new one now. Will post back with results soon.
Just picked up a new tab 10.1.
Flashed a few roms trying to find a favorite.
But... no honeycomb roms work for me.
I can flash the roms fine, they boot up and I can do everything. BUT as soon as I lock the screen and unlock it i cannot see anything, the screen just turns to lines and flickers.
I found one person with the problem but no answer.

ok, i have no ideea whats wrong
i have this problem with the screen getting garbled, very thin lines rolling (not the large rolling lines due to the cwm, ive had that too, but sorted that) when th p7500 enters sleep or if i push the sleep button.
ive tried everything i could think of. 2 versions of the last cwm. flashed stock(also the one with UE), then again the rom. flashed pershoot's kernel. nothing
ive even tried another custom rom, the same problem. the only ones that dont give me this problem are the cyan 9 ics custom builds (but they are too glitchy for my taste) ant the stock ones. any ideeas? i really like this rom, its smooth, id like to be able to use it
thanks

It solved the (same) problem on my italian tab :laugh:
Well, I've had my vibrant and my gs2 for a long time and have always flashed all kinds of roms on both. I'm no pro but I try to learn from the people here. But lately I can't figure out what's wrong with my vibrant. I tried resetting it with odin and flashing different, stable, well known roms on it but it still acts funny. It will work for a bit then start shutting off, not letting me turn it on and just shows the spinning star circle for a little bit. I have to plug it in and mess with it a little to get it to turn on or go in download mode. I've searched a lot, tried to find a solution but nothing so this is my last resort. I'd like to hear form people who had the same problem and what did you do please
I just managed to get it to turn on again but I don't know what to do before it goes off again. It is on ics passion v13.1. It's also unlocked. If this is some stupidly simple problem I'm sorry but I am seriously getting annoyed with the phone. Thanks for any help.
Well Passion is definitely dated, and not in a good way. If ICS is your choice flavor, by all means don't let me talk you out of it.....
However. I personally suggest you Odin back to stock, with repartition checked and flash up to Helly Bean. I haven't used CM10 yet (official build) so I can't comment personally on it, but you could try that. At least they are new and still very much supported.
GPS is broken, and 911 may not work, but those issues aside I've heard nothing but good things about them. I've been on Helly Bean since 8/12 and it's quite smooth.
Your issue might be kernel related. Keep us posted on what route you take, maybe we'll learn more about your problem and discover a solution.

Your battery could possibly be going bad. If it still acts funny on stock JFD then its probably your battery. I would flash back to stock 2.1 with Odin and see if the problem goes away, then flash back to ics if that's what you want. You could maybe try calibrating your battery too, not likely to be the problem but worth a shot.

well I tried just having the phone back to stock with odin and just rooted and unlocked. I also tried other roms that are not ics and things that people suggested. still, the problem is the same. it's so weird. I tried a new battery too. now i have to get a new phone pretty much. it's just a shame since there isn't a scratch on my vibrant.

Did you overclock/undervolt a lot with this phone?

Im no pro or even a novice at this, but to me it sounds like a pending hardware failure. This sounds alot like what happened to my Toshiba laptop.
Try installing a good kernal, try subzero first.
I think I'll try that before I give up. I'll let you know what happens. Thank you for the suggestions
I picked up a note cheap,it is android 4.1.2,and has jelly beer 3.34,it is rooted,my question is do you know of any screen rotation issues,I can turn the phone and it will swithch to the sideways mode but when I turn it back like a phone it stays stuck until I hit the home button,I have tried every kind of setting on the launcher and the regular display settings.I also cant find screen calibration to recalibrate,thanks for any help
A rotation mod may have been used on the device prior to your getting it...
there may also be other modifications to the device you are not aware of, but without seeing it, I cant say for sure.
this much I do know, that it's a rom related issue..
check the rom thread here on xda for a potential solution, as I'm sure it's been addressed in that area...g
