I've been pretty frustrated with my titan recently. The number one thing that I have had problems with is text messaging. It was just so laggy, I couldn't type a simple sentence with the hardware keyboard without having to go back and edit a bunch of misspelled words. I tried flashing to different roms to see if it was a software problem, and on a fresh rom it was faster but after using it a while it became laggy once again. So I tried the new speedbooster2.0 software that was recently posted in development and hacking forum, and it seemed to help but not enough. Still a terrible lag that frustrated me to no end. I text ALL the time, more than I talk on the phone. My girl and I probably send over a hundred texts a day, so this problem was having me thinking drastically like, just getting a new phone. Texting is my #1 purpose of my phone.
Then all of a sudden today it dawned on me that I could disable word suggestions. I tried that and guess what... Completely fixed the problem!
So if anybody else is as slow mentally as I am, this info will be helpful. Otherwise this is just a good story to laugh at.
very nice...i've seen it before...happened to me...
i didn't know how i fixed it
probably loaded a new rom...
No love for the Saga??
I love it... and check for news about once every two weeks. Haven't heard anything.
hello fellow IL person... im hoping for a 6.5 cooked rom
note... I posted a message over on PDAPhoneHome.com and everythingwm.com and then found this thread... since it is similar in nature to my questions, I thought I would reply to this one instead of starting a new thread.
Greetings fellow frustrated Saga owners!
Wish I hadn't updated…
I, like many of you, now wish that I had not installed the update on my Saga.
It worked great before!... But now I am experiencing many of the same bugs that have already been mentioned on this forum.
I am pretty tolerant of bugs in general and I don't mind trying to find workarounds for them. Often, the workarounds add more functionality then would normally be there anyway… Plus I enjoy learning how things work.
Biggest problem…
The one thing that I can't stand is the loss of signal strength I have seen since updating! My data connection dies several times per day and I have to soft reset to get it back. Sometimes it is hours before I realize this has happened so I am not always getting my email right away. (Who has time to check their phone every few minutes to see if it has stopped synching or not?)
Other times it seems like it just stops synching for no reason. I use both an exchange server (MailStreet) and Windows Live and they both have this problem. Sometimes I check my phone when I go on break at Noon and I will notice that it hasn't synched since 9:30 AM or sometimes longer than that, yet there is no error message (like it tried to synch and couldn't) and I open the browser and can get on the internet. It is like it doesn't even try to synch. I have both of them set to synch every 15 minutes (greatly increases battery life btw) 24 hours a day. Then there are other times, it synchs more often than every 15 minutes… so I don't know what is going on!
Getting worse?…
Is it just me or do the signal issues seem to be getting worse? Or maybe it is just in my area? This past week I have actually started getting errors saying that it couldn't connect (whereas before, it just wouldn't connect... no errors)... and it seems to be happening more frequently.
Finally… my question…
What I would like to know is if anyone is working on a "cooked" ROM for the Saga. Either 6.1 or 6.5 would work for me. I have heard some good things about 6.5 (like dramatically increased performance), but I haven't heard about anyone working on this for the Saga. Waiting for Verizon to come out with another update is just a lesson in frustration and honestly I am not sure I would trust it if they did release one.
I consider myself to be a pretty tech savvy person and even enjoy some light programming on occasion (the .net framework is awesome… Something Microsoft got right!!), yet I am reasonably certain that cooking up my own ROM is beyond my skills (though I am willing to give it a shot if someone can point me to a clear guide)
Follow-up question…
If no one is working on this and no helpful guide is available, then I am wondering if a ROM from a similar phone can be used (maybe with a few modifications required?). For instance, is the Epix similar enough that we could use a ROM designed for it on the Saga? (There is a 6.5 ROM for the Epix that can be found here) Or does the fact that its hardware is GSM only make it out of the question?
More questions…
If using a ROM from a similar phone is possible is there a way to backup the current ROM so that it could be restored if the other ROM doesn't work? If so then I would probably be willing to use my phone as a guinea pig. Yes, I understand that there is a possibility that it could brick my phone and I am willing to accept the risk if there is a good chance that it will work. I have an old blackberry that I can use if something goes really wrong.
So I guess the real question is… How similar do the phones have to be? Or does it have to be identical hardware?
Any insight would be appreciated...
Steven
Id like to know the same answers! The Omnia, which came out at the same time will be upgradable to 6.5, so why did samsung release a phone that wont be at the same time as one that could?
i wonder if an omnia rom could be altered for the samsung?
Lets see some love for the Saga with 6.5, also any news on the Sags 2?
Revisiting old thread
I've still got a brand new Saga that I'd love to use if I could get a stable build of 6.1 or 6.5. The "update" from Verizon made the Saga useless with its instability and constant lock-ups.
I would really appreciate some of the experts here building a clean ROM for the Saga.
Thanks.
Im at my wit's end. Im about to give up on my beloved Android, this makes no sense. Surely Im not the only person experiencing this hair pulling issue. It happened with my g1, my MT3G and now my nexus one:
yahoo.com
capitalone.com
and god knows what other sites
I can sign in to these sites a few times and then i get an error saying im entering invalid info. I am NOT entering invalid info, ive tried signing in 30 times each time i sit down to try to deal with this
This issue happens without me changing any settings or downloading any apps
When i wiped the g1 or the MT3G the sites would again work a few times
I feel like I should try the iphone or a windows phone.
Does anyone know how to wipe this phone (yes i googled the s*** out of this question)? And more importantly does anyone know whats making my Android phones reject these popular websites? I love google, but these are legit sites that this phone ought to be able to handle. thanks for any help
Browser>Menu>More>Settings...
Clear Cookies, Form Data, & Cache one at a time to see if one helps.
what browser are you on? if you havnt switched to the dolphin browser (multitouch yay!) or opera mini (fastest prolly), id highly recommend you try them if you havnt already and both are faster than stock
im losing my ****
thanks for the replies though. I have deleted cache, etc. in the browser many times and i have tried dolphin, but it hasnt helped. It seems so strange that I cant find any existing issue discussion here or in the g1 or mt3g forum, capitalone.com might be overlooked but surely many others have had the yahoo.com issue, i mean i first turned on the phone, signed in fine then could never sign in again, i havent done anything to set me apart from the other users and yet ive had this issue on all 3 android phones. ive now reset my nexus phone without saving my settings or apps and still i can sign in once and never again.
any other ideas? thank you
1 more browser, try opera lol... after that idk... sorry bud

Did you delete Cookies and saved form data?? or was that part of "etc"?
Opera Mini 4 sucks on Android. Hopefully Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile will be better and have multi-touch.
Hi there I'm keen to help you replicate this problem. Is it anythng to do with the number of unsuccessful attempts per session. Most sites lock you out after a certian number of incorrect entries. I know some SIPs can be a ***** to get first time.
Have you unlocked your phone flashed a custom rom? Are you signing in over wifi? might it be an isp issue?

thanks for the help.
It happens on 3g, e, g and wifi
I havent rooted
i dont know about the isp thing
The issue occurs after the first or second successful login, without any extra attempts in the session
When the issue happens i can wipe the phone and am able to sign in again, i think if i dont sign out it will stay signed in and i can go with it like that for a bit longer but eventually signs me out and back to square one
When it happened on my MT3G i had a couple of refurbished replacements and the issue persisted
TMO told me that it was an app screwing it up because when i restarted in safe mode i could sign in. But i started with a clean wipe and could only sign in once or twice. Surely im doing something wrong but damned if i can figure it out
I use capital1 and yahoo but I've never had any issues with them on my G1, MyTouch or N1, weird.
Tried it on my G1 and it's working just fine!
Maybe you could provide a log of what is happening the moment you try to login? I think you should be able to do a logcat on a non-rooted phone.
Using ADB just run:
Code:
adb logcat > log.txt
i really, really appreciate everyones help, ive been dealing with this for a long time and its been quite frustrating.
I just reset the phone, signed in to two of the issue sites and ive been changing settings and downloading apps but i havent signed out of either site nor have i reset the phone or deleted the browser cache or data. Im guessing itll go bunk in the next day or two as usual and if it does im going to try to get a log. I havent been doing any rooting/development stuff since my g1 about 5 months ago so im a bit rusty but i should be able to manage a log...
I have problems with certain sites and authentication while tethered. If I had to pull a unicorn out of my ass I would assume it's what proxy you're connected to. Someone smarter than I would probably be able to give you a way to test. I've been able to duplicate the problems on my various Android devices. So I don't think it's android as much as it my provider in my area. I don't have an intimate knowledge of their topology so someone shed some light on this.
When you log into the sites, do they run in a mobile version or desktop version?
I use dolphin, much better browser
How complex is your userid/password?
if it contains some symbols or similar, perhaps try a less complex one??
Simple Id and password. Problem w/ mobile as well as desktop version and I've tried dolphin...
I've logged in a couple of times after latest wipe, there's a slight chance the disruption coincides with me setting up yahoo in the email app. I don't know if that would explain anything but it wouldn't explain capitalone though both are currently working and the only thing I've done differently is not set up yahoo email..problem solved? I'm afraid to sign in and sign out too much to test it, I suppose ill find out sooner than later
I keep getting a uportal error on another site I've had no problems with on g1 or mytouch. From googling it I believe uportal error indicates a proxy issue can anyone elaborate or otherwise explain? The last time I messed with proxies was with g1. This seems to be set up a bit differently, or else I've forgotten where to find them...
same issue
experiencing the same issue. cleared all existing data on the phone, wiped/installed.
CM-5.0.4.1 w bits. Can't figure it out.
Since flashing Duttys WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail ROM to my HD I have been very impressed with it's performance, 99% of the time it is responsive and stable and seems happy even though several programs are running. It has made my HD a really nice phone.
But every now and again something weird will happen, usually activesync reports a problem, or all of my contacts vanish, sometimes files on the device (not SD) cannot be accessed. So I soft reset and it doesn't boot, it will get stuck on the orange splash screen.
In total it has happened about 4 times since I flashed the ROM on Dec 29. It happened last night and eventually the device loaded the background picture, then popped up an error dialogue saying something about being unable to open a file, there was no mention of the file name. I did a soft reset and it then automatically performed a hard reset.
The other times the phone just hangs on the orange splash screen every time, causing me to perform a hard reset manually. Sometimes it will work fine for a good few days, or sometimes fail after only 1 day.
Its really annoying. I cant seem to get a HTC that works at the moment. My TP2 is rubbish, I've tried several ROM's and it is consistently unstable, so I go back to my HD which was always reliable... And now this happens.
please Help or I'll be forced to turn to the darkside and get an iphone and I really don't want to do that!
Why not just return to the "reliable" firmware version used previously?
I'm not a fan of custom roms or 6.5, especially on this underpowered model, it's definitely the most reliable handheld I own or have owned with oem roms though, especially without it's resource gobbling pretty face on.
Not really the most helpful answer, but i suppose i cannot argue the reasoning behind it.
In defence of this ROM it is BRILLIANT when it is working, i'd actually argue that the device feels smoother with this ROM than it did with the stock Orange UK ROM.

Have you tried asking your question in one of Duttys threads. You may get a better response. Also, try flashing a different rom
Thanks.
Since posting the message the problem has not come back.
I have been thinking that there is a possibility that my server was hacked, i noticed a few things had changed on the server, i also had notices when i logged in to facebook and paypal, informing me that someone from New York had accessed my account. the server and facebook used to have the same password.
Is it possible that the problem i had was caused by a hacker on my exchange server issuing a command to reset the device? i know it can do something like this to protect data in the event of a phone going missing.
what does the device do if exchange server performs this routine?
Please help me find this problem... i dont want to buy an Iphone!
Ok I tried a different Rom, this time i used one of KWBR's:
http://media.celogeek.com/roms/kwbr/..._5.7_Sense.rar
a month down the line and its just started to go wrong again.
this time, i find that the device slows down a little bit, prompting me to soft reset, when it boots i find that my contacts are missing, active sync will not load properly, it briefly flashes on screen but lower 1/3rd of active sync window is missing (appears transparent or black) only way to get contacts back and active sync working again is hard reset!
Anyone got any ideas what might be going on?
its been doing this now on both ROM's but i have no idea what may be causing it, as far as additional software i only install a few apps: Slimcontrol 1.5, Core player & GcZ2 (geocaching tool) which all have been running fine before.

hello and thank you for taking the time to read my first post. been having an issue with my new phone and i havent the faintest idea on how to diagnose or fix my problem. i am in no ways a developer or knowledgeable in programming what so ever, but i have delved in "script kiddie" roots and customs roms with my older phones trying to breathe new life into those devices as an excuse to not have to buy an older phone, but eventually my samsung note 5 kicked the bucket and wasnt able to keep up with the amount of apps and multitasking i do for work. a friend of mine recommended that i buy a one plus 6t as its not only one of the latest phones (okay not the latest, but still fairly new) , but it was also cheap as hell on ebay for about 250$ for a used one with some slight burn-in in the display (the ghost image suggests this unit was a display model, but its a handy phone and i dont care at all).
Anyways, long story short; friend is a big tech guy and recommend that id root the phone and install a custom ROM (A.K.A paranoid OS) for greater usability and security. since he was way more knowledgeable with this phone than i was in the 2-3 days of owning it; i decided to let him go ahead and do it for me.
the phone runs amazing, and ive used it for work for a few weeks now and it has lived up to my expectations and more... except for 2 issues.
the main issue that this thread is focused on is android auto. on my friends phone, it works great! hooks up and connects every time he plugs in the cable, audio smooth, gps and other features i never knew existed with my old phone. my 6t on the other hand, works when it wants to.
it never connects to the radio and tells me that it cant connect through notifications. after some experimenting, i found out that it does connect; you just have to go to "USB Preferences" in the phone, plug the phone in, see the options light up under ""usb controlled by"", then tap on a different option (even though it wont switch) and tap it again multiple times until the phone connects.
once it does connect, it works great. until you start listening to music. the music cuts out every now and then. sometimes for 1 second, 3 seconds, or 30 seconds. its very random. other stuff that happens is that the UI on the radio flickers constantly or disappears and the resolution looks cut off or looks wonky on different sides of the radio. sometimes its one or the other. i told my friend about it, and he tried clearing caches, force stopping the app, even completely removing the google play service plugin and reinstalling it, but still nothing. after he tried it, i had phone hooked up to the radio for work, it worked fine for a few hours until everything froze and my phone went completely black and a bunch of colorful letters on my screen pop up that say "CRASH DUMP". phone reboots just fine and works fine but the issues before the crash still happen.
the second issue is that my fingerprint sensor detects fingers but cant read anything, but thats the least of my concerns and i dont care if it doesnt work.
my friend has no idea what else to do and i am kind of disappointment but i still want this to work. although i have no idea where to start or what to do.
if your willing to help an inexperienced dude get his phone working, that would be greatly appreciated. other than that, i hope you have a good day
EDIT:: just a quick add on to say that ive tried different USB-c cables and this radio is notn aftermarket. im using stock radio on my 2019 nissan altima

Just msm it and run the latest Oxygen OS. There is a MSM tool thread that will assist you and, also a Oxygen OS thread too. This will solve what you mentioned are your issues

I totally agree flash the stock Rom
OOS is amazing. Rooting is easy if you decide you need it.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6010 using Tapatalk
Does your friend have the the same phone? It is very common that custom ROM works flawlessly on one model but full of issues on the other, even they are from same manufacturer. The stability of a custom ROM depends on how many active user use the rom. Most of one plus users used oxygen. So not so many people could give you answer.
BTW, I would never advise someone to use custom ROM if they don't know how to flash by themselves.
