capacitive buttons stopped working - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a samsung fascinate running cm7.2 and all of the sudden today my capacitive buttons stopped working. I have tried resetting my phone and restoring it to a backup from 2 weeks ago and nothing will work. I don't know what to do. If someone could please reccomend either a fix or a stable ics rom that I could install that would have the buttons on screen for me to use. I am pretty new at this and only have just rooted the phone a few weeks ago and have not had any problems until now.
thanks

Check out droidstyles guide and all the instructions you need will be there. You will probably want aokp milestone 6.

[Q] No 3G; Complete Data Loss.

Hey all! So...after struggling with this problem for a couple weeks, I've finally decided to get some help. I have an HTC Thunderbolt, currently running MIUI-Vicious-ICS-4.0, with 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-5.1.0AOSP+ Kernel. Also, the baseband is 1.48.00.0906w_1,0.01.78.0906w_2.
The problem is that I don't get 3G at all, and often I loose data completely. Very rarely do I have even 3 bars of 1x. WiFi still functions though. I've had this problem on many ROMs (CM7, MIUI, DasBAMF) so I know it isn't the ROM. I'm paying for data every month so it sucks not being able to use it
If you need any more details, feel free to ask. ANY help on this would be VERY appreciated!
Thanks!
Take the phone back to stock, radios and all. If still no data, phone is screwed. But right now, no ics Roms for the tb have data working

So after I go stock everything and it works, can I root again? Because the very first time I had rooted my phone, I flashed CM7 and everything was working fine before I decided to switch ROMs like a mad-man.
I have a nandroid backup that I made right after rooting my phone, it has stock everything. Do you think I should try that to see if it works before messing with anything else?
Yes, you could try your backup.

[Q] A very particular issue .. [RezROM S4] [X70]

I, just yesterday, obtained S-OFF.. after reading up on the instructions thread for a while on several different days, I felt confident I'd do it fine... and I did, on 2nd try
Anyways, when I returned to Newts One XxX rom, the internal AND external SD storage were broken, and tried and failed many times to fix them both, I believe I had a broken installation of Busybox (in Newts OneXxX rom? like baked-in? idk)
So after a few ROMs I tried, I finally got one to boot, RezROM S4....
Everything is working PERFECTLY and I'm glad I finally have a stable set up.. HOWEVER there is ONE little issue... :l
If I do anything sound-related, where the sound would come out of the speaker on the phone (the back one, not the ear piece speaker), the phone immediately hangs and restarts....
I noticed when I was attempting to change the ringer volume, I heard nothing, and when the volume popup went away, it went to black and restarted... I tried to check a voicemail, got to where I need to enter my VM password (earpiece speaker works fine) and I hit the first 2 numbers and it froze on the second (and made no noise...)
Anyone know what's going on?? I DID search the RezROM S4 thread before this, but I couldn't find anything relevant... And I'm under 10 posts I think, so I can't post in the thread just yet...
Thanks for the help, folks!
~sidenote~ : I was driving home last night at about 1AM from a neighboring town (15min away), and my phone was in a (non working, boot/hang) state, AND GUESS WHO RAN OUT OF GAS.
EDIT: I can't fathom what the problem is :/ ... I think I'm gonna wait until Newt releases his new OneXxX build, flash it and flash the MMS fix and hope that works out okay. I just want a stable Sense 4 rom lol. Sorry I just realized what I said
Sounds like you need to flash the old firmware patch. I'm guessing you were on gb?

No I bought the phone from a man who had an older ICS firmware installed, he had the pre-rooted OTA leak (4.0.3 / Sense 3.6 ), then I updated to the very newest FW 3.11.605.22 , and installed Newts OneXxX which worked like a charm.
Then I S-OFFed and installed RezROM S4 ... :/ That's where I'm at now.

New to photon. Got some questions

Hello everyone I just got this the other day and I rooted/unlocked it day one. I have tried many roms cm7, rocko, cm9, aokp (current rom) and loved it all but I have some questions;
1. On aokp i seem to randomly have to click things 3-6 times to get it to register or go away (ie, confirmations, superuser requests, and the game C.H.A.O.S.) This was not an issue on non ics roms.
2. My favorite game C.H.A.O.S. is a triple touch game, in my 2 days of experience it seems on stock and stock based roms only 2 touch works and on aosp roms its up to 5. However in both cm7 and ics I am having consistent issues with my touches being glitchy and sticky during gameplay. Is this a hardware or driver issue? Is there any stock based rom that offers faithful triple touch?
3. No matter what ics rom im on Chrome force closes all the time is this normal? Opera wont even open
4. Are there settings or options on what orientation the kickstand defaults to on ics? It doesnt auto rotate and i would like to be able to charge it while using the kickstand.
Thank you guys in advance

Welcome!
1) Not normal. wipe cache, dalvik, and fix perms. Users also report weird problems if installing via Kitchen Sink, it's not done yet. If thats the case for you, try installing the old fashioned way through cmw.
2) I dont have this issue in cm7. But it is to be expected in the ICS roms at the moment.
3) Chrome doesnt work as it uses video acceleration and we dont have the correct video drivers yet. Opera 12 hasn't worked in any iteration of our ICS roms.
4) Not sure about this one, i never use my kickstand.
Chrome hasn't worked well on ICS roms for the Photon yet. Opening a tab always force closes the browser. For the touch issues, did you flash the water droplet fix? The phone has a software "feature" that ignores long presses over a certain length of time, making gaming a frustrating endeavor.

That sounds interesting, could you provide a link?

All that fix does is prevent the phone from automatically releasing your touch after a certain time when you tap and hold. I think your problem extends a bit further than that. Worth a shot though.

You may have deeper issues with your touch screen but this is worth a shot. I'd make a backup just in case but it worked for me in the past.

That works! Thanks for the help. Still a bit torn between this hybrid 2.3.5 rom and AOKP but at least now im able to play my game lol.
Edit: joystick still sticks occasionally in ics so im sticking to the hybrid rom with the waterdrop fix for now. Ics feels very stable but doesnt fit my daily driver just yet.

While im at it does anyone know if there is a mod to change the screen timeout when using the kickstand? I would like to make it time out after a minute with it in and ten when its out

the alternate Libs are ones joker is trying to see if they work/help the 2d issues. They are a mash up of different devices and Androids (2.3/4.0) that he is using, I think.

Hi
New to Photon.
I ordered n got an unlocked version of Sprint Photon 4G n I live in India.
There are many sprint specific apps on ma Mopho which I don't want. So my question is
1. Can I flash a STOCK Rom without any of those apps if yes where do I find the Rom?
2. Will RSD lite do the job?
3. Will there be any other issues if anyone has tried it?
Any other advice is appreciated.
Thank you

Use this guide to root/unlock/clockworkmod recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...n Compendium a.k.a. all things MoPho 04/10/12
Follow all the directions and proceed to flash any rom of your choosing. If you are looking for a stock based rom with sprint crap removed I suggest peetr's stock 2.3.5 cm7 hybrid multilingual rom in the dev section.
Happy flashing

Thank you for the reply.
A few more clarifications:
1.I tried setting up 2G internet connection today. I use Vodafone in India on that phone. EVERYTHING works except the Data! Vodafone India reps have promised a call back cuz it didn't get resolved.
What else could I try now?
2.The USSD code to check available balance etc doesn't work. It simply keeps saying requesting details or something like that!
Is it in some way locked or anythin?
(It's an Unlocked Sprint phone I repeat.)
Thank you again

BAD NEWS:
Vodafone India can't support the Data settings on this phone. Tried a new SIM card, tried all APN settings possible but Data doesn't turn on.
Tried a different service provider, AirTel n worked like charm!!
Sorry Vodafone, I'm moving over to AirTel

[Q] CM 10 with JellyBeanMod GPS Issues

Hi everybody. I have been reading many of the posts here over the past 6 months and trying to learn as much as I can about different ROMs and issues related to my particular phone which is the Samsung Epic 4G Touch.
Thanks Exit_Only for your helpful work in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975379. In that thread Sydius 08 asked "How are the Stable 1 tweaks running for you guys? Running CM10 11/18 nightly" I would like to focus on one aspect of that.
First I am currently running cm-10-20121117-UNOFFICIAL-d710 with gapps-jb-20121011-signed. I had installed JellyBeanMod_Stable-One_EO in hopes that it would resolve my long-standing GPS issue. I have read so many threads and I do appreciate all of the comments and attempted fixes by this community. I also use GPS Status and GPS Essentials where I see zero satellites but saw eight or nine instantly with #3 below. Here are the three times when my GPS has worked:
1) When I first got it just over a year ago. It was running Gingerbread 2.3.x (don't remember the last number but think it was 1). It worked perfectly but stopped after about 2 months and worked on and off after that.
2) After the GPS completely stopped working I started learning all I could about using a custom ROM. I tried CyanogenMod 9 but it did not resolve the issue. There's more to the story and more ROMs and tips provided here that I tried but all failed. However, whenever I Odin back to StockCWM-EL26.tar it works perfectly. I followed the tip about getting a fix prior to putting an ICS or JB ROM on.
3) I installed this on 11/15 http://sbrissen.chris41g.org/sbrissen-ALPHA6.zip and my GPS worked perfectly. However, lots of other apps failed miserably and it kept freezing up.
So here I am with nowhere else to turn. This latest CM 10 works perfectly EXCEPT the GPS. I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
i'm sure someone will mention this, but have you attempted to acquire a GPS lock on a stock ROM, for example, and revert to one of your desired ROMs?

Thank you. I had actually tried that one and ran into a problem with flashing it but I think that's because I didn't go back to StockCWM-EL26.tar first. I might give it a try again. I do love CM 10 and it would be perfect if the GPS worked.
For those who may not know this guy, QBKing77, is one of the best at teaching how to do this. Here is one for the SGIII and the Blazer ROM which he considers one of his favorites. I had to remove the link because I'm such a newbie. Here is the YouTube description: Blazer Rom on the Samsung Galaxy S III [REVIEW]

yep. this is the same method i used to fix my friend's GPS issue on a jelly bean ROM. after seeing to it that i was getting a GPS lock on the stock ROM, i went back into recovery, and flashed the ROM she wanted (paranoid android i think it was)... since then, she's been a happy camper locking into 7-9 satellites indoors
Great news! I was able to resolve this issue by following Qbking's YouTube tutorial: "How to Temporary Boot Stock EL29 on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch." I was able to lock on to 9 satellites and get a fix on my exact location. It was literally showing me in front of the building where I was standing.
I hope this helps someone else who might be going through the same problem with their GPS on an E4GT. If someone could post this information and possibly the link to the thread I referenced earlier I would appreciate it.
Thank you everyone for your comments.

[Q] Constant random reboots - EVERY ROM - EVERY KERNEL

I have been researching threads, and I can't find anyone with the same problem. My I717 loves to reboot itself for seemingly no reason. Happens with toggles, happens in SMS (text), happens in GMail. Happens everywhere.
Roms I've been on
SlimBean
Paranoid
LiquidSmooth
Padawan
CM10
CM9
Everything.
I odined back to stock yesterday, rerooted - even on rooted Gingerbread it happens. Now I am on liquidsmooth. I have had at least a dozen in a 7 hour period. Happens every 20-30 minutes.
Also now when I am trying to install certain roms, I am getting an assert failed in CWM. So I cannot even install certain roms. It seems as though my phone is just rejecting everything.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Thanks in advance!
If you say you searched for this problem and came up with nothing then may god help your soul because no one here can help you.
That is all.

I had the same problem for 6 months, turned out I needed to flash a different modem/radio/baseband. I'm using UCLF6 now without issue. Hope that helps you out, I felt pretty stupid for not trying it sooner :/
Is your recovery up to date? Old ones tend to not set permissions correctly with up to date gapps. Or maybe try a different recovery like the latest twrp. cm10 based ROMs are also prone to reboots because its using a modified ICS kernel..so expect it.
