After watching a movie for about an hour, apart from top-left part on the backside becoming quite warm, the display is garbled, flickering and shaky (like olden days overhead projectors used to do after they were used for a few hours).
Applications seem to be working fine. But, reading the screen is nearly impossible because of high flicker.
Has any one experienced this problem? Is there a solution?
I hope it is a temporary problem and will go away with power cycle, hard reset, etc.,
So far, I have faced five problems with Galaxy Tab 10.1 (16GB, WiFi)
Display garbled, flickering and shaky
DHCP causes loss of Internet connectivity after WiFi router reset because it didn't get same IP address. Had to configure static IP address
newton rings, oil slick on the screen
glass protruding on the bottom left
dirty gum on one of the sides
Has anyone faced this problem? Any suggestions for a fix or work-around?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280975 seems to be related to some extent -- heat.
The problem appears to be permanent Just after 15 minutes of normal browsing, it happened again.
It is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB WiFi upgraded to Samsung's official TouchWiz firmware.
Some settings:
1. No animations
2. Rosemary font
3. Screen in Standard mode
4. Default applications
Any suggestion for a fix or work-around is highly appreciated.
Hello to all.
I write from Italy for a problem with my gps smartphone, asking for help to the most experienced of the web site.
I purchased from a dealer of Chinese aliexpress a Pulid F13, 2gb ram, 32gb rom, mtk6589T 1.5 ghz, display (1920x1080) I'm in difficulty in solving a problem with the GPS PULID F13 just received, the problem is in the process of engagement signal that does not start immediately, but the strangeness of the situation is that the navigator started looking for the signal and can not find it, it goes into standby mode, the display goes dark, and that after a few seconds I hear the voice of the guide that tells me the locked signal, then display active, I go to the browser and after a few moments I lose the signal, then I found that every time the display turns off the GPS signal is resumed. Does anyone have any idea how to solve the dilemma of this strange smartphone? I tried all the fixes also possible by replacing the file gps.conf in direrctory System / etc, but I also disabled gradually the whole wifi, data, and put into airplane mode, but nothing nothing usually result display on screen and active after a little lost gps ... Possible that there is an interference between the display and the GPS signal?
Thank you for your help.Pulid F13 loss of the GPS signal with active screen

The same cell phone, the same problem, hope to get help!!!!!
I've only had my watch 16 hours or so (7 of which I was asleep), and I like it, and plan to develop apps for it..... but I have the following issues:
Updated (9 Jul)
Take a note voice command just sends me an email, instead of using something like Google Keep
The screen dims for a second before screen turns off (or goes to clock) - if I do OK Google during this time it ignores it
Set a Timer voice command does not work - options set an alarm menu
No music controls when I use default music player, or RocketPlayer Solved my Wear Music Controller
When doing a voice search, it often says Disconnected. 6 times so far, one time I had to restart watch before it could reconnect.
Dictating a longish email will eventually fail, even though it recognized loads of the words.
Step count often not updated on homescreen widget, despite it showing a higher number in the actual watch app
Dismissing a google now card (weather for example), you can't get it back if you did it by mistake
Navigation started from watch sits on Calulating route... if music playing on phone with screen locked.
Screen stays on while charging (reported by dunjamon) Solved by Slumber
I have it paired with HTC One S with Liberty S4 MAX custom ROM.
Anyone else have these issues (what device do you have it paired with)? Or know how to fix/work around them?
I have 4 and 7 8 D:
Number 1 confused me for a while. I searched everything on my phone before I realised that it had just emailed me. With number 7, I've turned off the step count...yet it still tells me my total of 0.
Also, is with the screen always on settings set to no, when you put it on charge the screen stays on. It's a nightmare at night, I have to turn it off and then boot it back up in the morning. There needs to be some kind of sleep mode or setting to allow the screen to be off while charging.
I've had 3 and 5
5 is a bit annoying. I'm hoping a restart means it won't recur as I go thru the day...

I didn't know about these developer options: Tapping build version several times works, same as a phone. The "Stay awake when charging" option is disabled by default however. I've only recently enabled the "always keep screen on" mode, so will be interesting to see what happens when charging tonight...
Regarding 1) It has started working! I installed Evernote for Android Wear from play store, also Baby Time and Draw Watch. I also resycn'ed all apps using the option in the Android Wear companion app.
Next time I did "take a note", it asked if I wanted to complete Action using Keep or Evernote, so I chose Keep. I also can see Keep in the list of apps on watch (before it wasn't there). The note was stored in Keep. Still works after uninstalling Evernote.
Regarding 4) I installed Music (Remix) Trial from play store, and Pause, Prev, Next actions are now on my watch. Unfortunately, the buttons do nothing. Not sure if this is an issue with my particular phone or what... Anyone else tried this app?

I've already disabled the stay awake while charging option. Unless it needs to be activated and then the watch itself to be set to not be always on. Will have another play tonight.
I've also noticed Keep show up in the apps now after another update. Will test out another note and see where it goes.
Got none of these problems with my watch. Fix for 8: If eg you swiped away the weather just say "ok google, what's the weather". after it told you the card should be back. this works for me, also with others like world clock, steps etc.
Just tried the screen off while charging and it doesn't work. The only way I can get the screen to turn off is to put it on charge and then on my phone set the screen to go off.
I actually have none of these issues...

I hope it isn't the case where everything will only work flawlessly with the latest Nexus devices. Have Google tested Wear with anything older?
I suppose it would make good business sense to encourage peeps to fork out for a Nexus 5 after spending money on a Wear watch...
Another issue I'm seeing is starting a Navigation from the watch won't work if I have music playing on my phone (phone lockscreen has music player UI). It just sits there on Calculating route... I'll add this to my list (and others from other peeps)

Number 4, music control, works well with Pandora. I like that I can start Pandora by voice, but there's no way to shut it down the same way.
Number 8, the disappearing cards was giving me hell on stocks. To resolve, I opened a browser on my workstation, Googled "quote xom" or whatever stock, and then the stocks card reappeared. I suspect a simple "Ok, Google...quote XOM" might do the same thing.
None of these issues. Nexus 5 Stock 4.4.4. You are also using a custom ROM so.....

No 3. Timer kicks straight into Alarm picker. Timer does work when you get to Google screen, swipe up and manually select it. But that's not a solution. I'm on stock 4.3.
Having the control issue with google play music and youtube when connected to chromecast he buttons wouldn't work and with youtube wven tho there was nothing playing the buttons were still on the watch and couldn't be dismissed
also having the connection issues if i take the watch out of the reach of the phone the app won't reconnect unless i go into the app myself to do it even then the watch says it's not connected when using ok google
EDIT: Happened again this time can't get the Ok Google working at all
Anybody else having issues where raising your arm to activate "Ok Google"isn't working consistently? We've got 2 watches in the house, and I've worn both. Same issue. Seems like if you don't use it for awhile, the arm motion won't wake the watch back up.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I'm having some of the same issues. I've had a few smart watches to compare.
-My Gear 2 worked way better as far as waking up when raising my arm. The LG G is difficult to wake by raising my arm.
-Bluetooth doesn't connect automatically when I get back in range of my phone. The other smart watches have done this that I have owned so not sure why this issue exists.
-There's no way to set the screen timeout. This thing times out very quick. Personally, I have no problem charging my batt every night so I would like to take advantage of the 30 or so % that is left on the watch each night by increasing the screen time out, vibration duration etc.
-I have a difficult time getting cards back after deleting even if I search for the stock, weather, etc. again.
-No way to reply to text messages.
I'll add more as they hit me.
Hi all,
this is my very first post here on xda, so please forgive me if this is not the proper section for my thread. I searched for other thread about similar issues, but I didn't find anyone. I'm Italian, so I even hope to not being wrong in English writing.
I recently bought (on November 2014) an Huawei Ascend Y550-L01 (Android 4.4.4, EMUI 2.3, ROM B137), coming from a (Portuguese) Samsung Galaxy Y Pro GT-B5512. Soon I experienced a very strange GPS behaviour: GPS turns itself off. No problem in signal fixing, nor in quality or precision. It simply deactivates.
First I noticed this using the OruxMaps app (which works fine on many phones, even my old one), simply recording the track. Indeed, at the beginning the app was being killed (because of the integrated task-killer) when screen was off, but after setting it as a "protected" app, when I record a track, GPS works while screen is on and, if screen turns off, then most of the times (not always) GPS is deactivated from within Android settings.
I even received (from the purchasing time) some GPS errors while in the home screen... I don't remember exactly that error, but in a fast Internet search it was told being caused from the weather widget, precisely from the "actual position" setting. I deactivated it and added manually my town and those errors were gone.
Then I noted another strange behaviour: GPS turns off even in standby, during night. It is on "extreme precision" on evening and it's off at morning. Sometimes I notice these deactivation (in the notification menu or into the energy saving widget) while I'm using the phone (but always when screens is off), without any error or message popping out... It simply gets deactivated.
Any other experiencing this strange issue? What could be the cause? I sent a mail to official support, but they asked me to take the phone in a service point... I can't stay without phone, so I would like to avoid this if it's not strictly needed.
I think it's a ROM issue (said that even in the mail), but unfortunately still there is no alternative one (or at least I found none). I think also that (almost) every app that uses GPS suffers for the same behaviour I faced using OruxMaps.
PS: phone IS rooted by a couple of week, but I'm facing this issue from the first day.
What the hell is going on? Any help, idea or trying suggestion is appreciated...
Many thanks!
Up?
I also see strange problems on the Y550-L01 connected to GPS.
In my case the GPS does not disconnect completely, but during car navigation the signal gets lost from time to time (tested with different navigation apps).
This is only the case when the Y550 is NOT connected to the charger. If I connect it to the power supply, GPS works quite reliable and accurate!
For me this sounds like a software problem (maybe connected to a power saving mode?). I hope a firmware update will fix this soon.
Even to me this is a firmware issue. Before of your answer, I was really beginning to think it's a fault of my phone. Now that I'm not the only one, I went back to think of a bug.
If it is a power save problem, then try to use this app to stop the power save mode :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl
(ultra light : 35K, free/no adds)
"Wake Lock gives you control over the Android Power- and WifiManager.
For example, you can force the PowerManager to keep the screen on or have the CPU still running in standby mode or make sure the Wifi connection keeps running at full performance.
You can use it on any android phone or tablet.
Use it to keep the screen on in full brightness or dimmed mode during movies or slideshows.
To make sure the CPU is still running in the background doing your tasks when you press the standby button."
Thank you for the report.
It seems that the new huaweï G620S has the same GPS problem :

Hi! Better post your question in our small Huawei Ascend Y550 thread. Maybe there someone of us can help.
If you understand German:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-...gation-unzuverlaessig-nur-im-akkubetrieb.html
These folks have the same proplem, but no solution.
Try it while a charger is attached.
Just received my phone today, and I was very susprised first that it didn't embed any gyro sensor (as it is very common in todays' phones) but only accelerometer and magnetic sensors. You can see that notably trying to play with google cardboard VR program which doesn't let you navigate in it..
But even more worrying, I noticed that the geomagnetic field sensor which can determine phone orientation (even without gyro) wasn't working properly..
Indeed, whyle trying to use google sky map app I noticed after 1 or 2 min that orientation started to completely mess up...
It seems sensor is loosing calibration anytime (usually in a few minutes).... I tryed many sensors app to be sure it wasn't software issue but they all fail the same way..
For instance if you try "Phone Tester" and go to sensors status, you can see in compass that there are 3 orientations:
- rotation which points directions (North -Est-West-South)
- pitch which is a rotation on 2nd axe (range going from -90° to +90°; 0° when phone laying on flat surface)
- roll rotation on 3rd axe (range going from -180° to + 180°; 0° when phone laying on flat surface)
As soon as you play with these rotations, you can see they are all okay for some minutes, but after a whyle, one of them remains stucked (for instance compass pointing South all the time) no matter how you rotate the phone...
This is really annoying as all apps relying on 3d orientation (Virtual Reality for instance) aren't able to work for decent time without going crazy. What is strange is that sometimes you just need to restart the app without calibrating sensor again to have it work again but only for 1 minute or so..
It is like if sensor needed to be reset all the time.
I don't know if this is firmware or faulty hardware?
Does anyone has encountered the same issue? I don't know if I need to send it back to store...
If anyone is willing to test using google sky map to see if he has the same issue as me, I'd be glad
I have the same issue using Google Sky Map. In my case, the effect is like the sky in the app vibrate. It happens to me from the beggining, when I start the app.
ok thanks for trying,
well maybe if it does this right at the begining is because you need calibration first? it would be interesting to see if you loose calibration then as I do..
But vibration is normal, it does this also with my galaxy note 8. What is abnormal is that at some point you don't see the sky moving as it should, e.g. there is one direction which is stuck. For instance, you look at south, and then you move your phone to the north, but it stays on the south.. we
but this might be a hint that this phone has an issue with magnetic sensors... maybe firmware issue...
Finally, I have observed that Sky Maps doesnt work as smooth as expected. I tried it in several phones (Xperia S, S4 mini) and i can check that it doesn't work as well as in the other devices. Also, it appears that sometimes one direction is stuck (as you say) but it isn't very noticeable and after move some times the device finally works. I think that is a firmware issue (I have the vodafone spain firmware 26.1.A.1.112).
I hope that my experience can help you
Indeed, your feedback seems quite similar.
I'm still thinking about returning it to shop and take z3 compact instead even if i would loose dual sim... Because im also bothered by the usb OTG issue reported.
Will see...
False alert?
To correct what i reported before. After further successful attempts seems like device isn't faulty and is behaving as expected when used properly . I think mistake was trying to use Google's Cardboard VR kit which simply doesn't work with this device because it doesn't have gyro. I think cardboard's magnet prevent compass from working as expected and might uncalibrate device as well. I don't know why cardboard exclusively use gyro and doesn't support compass as a way of moving head because it should works too...
Just in case someone would have the same issue.
