Android Problems Thread

Mods please close this If you think I am wrong.
Firstly there are a lot of guys here asking about the same problems with android which I dont think are being noticed because the messages are either deleted or thread closed so no one see's.
I am not the only one with these problems with android but here are the 2 main ones that keep popping up and mods keep knocking us back down telling us to post in the relevent thread yet these problems are not for a relevent thread.
1. With certain Android Roms users are experiencing when answering and making calls the phonecall will be disconnected due to a problem with the proximity sensor.
2. With the latest Zimage from Cotulla certain users are getting the SOD (screen of death) when the phone goes into standby mode. Cotulla has mentioned this problem is fixed yet we cant find this fix anywhere and he has released the GPS working fix yet no SOD fix?
Hope I dont come off too strong its just when we as in the members try and get our opinion across or ask for help, we are shot down instantly by Moderators who frankly I know more Info than them and they should not close threads on guessing what our problem is.
Thanks, and If anyone thinks I should be a part of the staff Team Just gimme a shout, and ill keep things in order!

Oh waste of thread so you have the answers for us somewhere else then do you? Please share!
waits...

have you posted the disconnect problem in the respective rom. I personally have never had it.
secondly if you are getting the green screen of death with the 25th zimage you should revert back to the 23. That image is considered to be the most stable for those who have sharp panels which is what is causing the Gsod.
my two cents
From what I have seen, said mods are only closing threads that their questions have been answered in the sticky information. Its those questions that had made it fustrating for the mods the dev's and the general xda community. I literally see the same questions over and over and these have been answered.

Well not all Android Builds are there same so you are going to have different results, Darkstones proximity sensor for calls works perfect, GPS has been fixed and working except the releases are all home made so far not official, the latest zimage is random for some people, personally works perfect for me but on another hd2 i have available the same build the image doesn't work, so who knows,
and as far as creating threads for problems and questions and answers its a waste of time because they get ignore and dropped down the pages like the thread i made yesterday to help out but nobody uses it or adds any extra info for it, cause it is mainly new people come here for android and they cant be arsed to search for anything and think everything works perfect straight away
@bazgee my point is there is many threads open and closed because you new people just wont search anything

Dude, all these questions have been answered like a 1000 times... Use search! you'll find a solution / answer!
I'm a noob at this.... really, and i had my fair share of hick-ups.. I've researched and read a lot for two days before attempting to install.. This way i knew what my problem would or would not have... I have not asked any questions yet regarding Android errors, please read and research dude... You'll find it!
If not, send me a pvt message and i will search it for you! The mods dont like it if you open these kinds of threads.. Unless you absolutly sure your the only one with this problem..
No offense, just making a point..

Were is the text selection method of Desire in Froyo?
Friends help me if possible, In Desire Build V5 .... to select a portion of text, we have a selection method like iphone, that alowed to stretch and shrink, was better than iphone, because we can send it to google tradutor or even to twitter or email.
Now, in Froyo this method of selection dont work...we have one like WM....and is wast we just can copy!!
For exemple:
How did you select a portion of text to edit bold, italic or underline??
I give my centims to, who can, make the a phrase like mine up with Froyo Darkstone V1 in HD2
Is any option off? or is it a app, which?
if not, it's possible to port the method selection of Desire in Froyo.
thanks

Nuff said. I'm almost wondering if it isn't usefull to just put a -this subforum requires a x minimum posts- limit on the Android section. This is getting more anoying by the day..

So Im guessing my second question still cannot be answered. Cotulla has said the SOD has been fixed yet where is this fix? GO ON search and then try and call me a noob.
I know for a fine fact there will be loads of users reading this right now agreeing with me and glad that I posted this.

Dude, i'm not calling you a noob, and i'm not dissin you in anyway,
The SOD, came with the latest Zimage from the 25th, dont use this one.. Get the ZImage from the 23rd NO SPEEDY!
If your problem still persists, i suggest you:
- Remove SD and SIM card
- Hard Reset
- Task 29 it
- Put a compatible radio on it, (See my signature for a example)
- Put a decent winrom on it, like Chuckys, Miri or Energy
- Hard reset it again
- Insert Sim and SD card
- Format SD CARD (uncheck quick format)
- Put an Android built on it, with Zimage Nospeedy from the 23rd
- perhaps a Android Loader...
Do this, might take you 30 min overall... and you'll be home free...
Now i've explained it again.. hope this helps and hope you'll research more in the future..
Alright bro, Good luck

maybe It hasnt been released. I know for sure the first few post says the 23rd is the most reliable version. I personally check his uploads daily. I havent seen it.

Zimage of the 25th was released untill everyone started to complain, then Cotulla removed the link...

To the OP.
I agree, some things need to be searched first, and your orig questions have been answered, I also to some extent agree with the you though, things get locked/deleted MUCH to soon.
In my case I searched for 2 days, found nothing, then posted a thread for thoughts and to help the devs of that Img/Kernal out with some info. I doubt they ever saw it because it was locked.
My issues are with the Camera (black screen only) and no Audio in phone calls. (yet i could get audio in EVERYTHING else)And yes, CLRCAD, etc, I know...
I was told to post in the relevent thread, but in my case, there wasn't one. So meh, it happens. I only thought I should have at least had a chance to respond but w/e.

[Q] What is the Best Rom to Get?

Hi,
I've been lurking around for sometime and I finally decided to root and flash my hero. The question is this:
I think I want a Froyo rom but I don't know which one to get. I'm pretty sure I'd like to have APPS2SD and Sprint Nav on it right away(I don't want to install them myself). Or should I get an 2.1 Rom (since some people have been saying that Froyo is slow [still need APPS2SD and Sprint Nav])? any recommendations on which one to get?
Thanks

yea..u hav been around since 2008..SO YOU SHOULD KNOW THE RULES! the fact that when you made this thread you checked the box saying "yes this is a question" knowing this was a question. yet you stil posted this in the wrong section and didnt read the rules apparently. Im sorry for being rude but you have been on the forums for a LONG time and by then you should have atleast seen the sticky in this development section.
Froyo is the way to go...cm6

No problems, I saw the sticky but there are tons of choices and I didn't see any recommendations. Secondly, the post on stickys doesn't say "no question threads". It just said that questions should go in there place. I thought since this is question related to roms it should go here (I apologies of I missunderstood the post). Thirdly, I only had the hero for a few weeks. While the account is old I really have only been here for about a month.
Anyways, I do appreciate that you gave a recommendation.
Thanks

Froyo has native A2SD, but if you want Sprint Navigation, stick with Nfinite's stock ROM.

I'd recommend any of jaybob's builds of cm6. Apps2sd is native to FroYo (no patition needed), flashing gapps will get you a navigator quick (and better than sprint's imo). Get GPS Status from market to maintain gps. If you like sprint's visual voicemail, there's a thread in the apps and themes section I think. Get Dialer One from market if you're used to Sense dialer, or even if you're not, it beats the stock dialer. And always remember, Nandroid is your friend, good luck!

jaybob's builds are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731659

Aosp v7 for ROM. Firerats partition mod. Deced3nce has great kernels. I have over 50 apps installed and have almost 250MB left internal memory. I have Sprint Navigation and Sprint Visual Voice Mail as well as Sprint Football all running with no problems.
I am getting quadrant scores of 460+ and its the most stable setup I've had since I started flashing.
All can be found on here.

I would do CM6.0.0 stable with my theme... but then again I'm biased

@LiquidSolstice - Thanks
@Ezintn -
Thank you as well, I somehow missed CM6 sprint nav post so you get my applause [APPLAUSE]. And also thanks for the app recommendations, I'll look into them. As far as visual voice mail I got myself google voice. I think I'll take your advice and install CM6 and then add the rest...it sounds like the best option.

@theimpaler747 - thank you for visiting my lowly thread

Well, I'll be damned. I did not know that CM6 could handle Sprint Navigation. Learn something new each day, I guess. End of the day, it really comes down to NFinite's ROMs or aospMOD/CM6.

GPS FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg
i was searching around today and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782242
and the gps is working perfect, only off about 10-20 feet.
im inside and it caught 10 sattelites
this thread is in the bible too, but you should make it a sticky on general(or Q&A) because this is where most people search for this.

I think like 3 more ! would have been better. More people would have noticed your thread then.

Thanks for the heads-up.
I'm still getting no useable fix with Wireless Networks disabled.
Garbage phone...never buying another Samsung anything...well, maybe a TV.

Whats the difference between the files on that thread (dated Sept) and the files that were included in the last OTA update from Tmobile?

People who can't search "gps fix" obviously don't really need it that badly. And as with all GPS "fixes" for the Vibrant, YMMV.

That thread is outdated and only applies for people running JFD. The OTA update (JI6) already contains the GPS changes Samsung made to JI2.

"Roaming indicator on" cm 6.1

(I have searched xda, Google and the cyanogenmod forums with no dice)
Both the area on the notification panel that normally says Sprint and the lockscreen now say "roaming indicator on", the "fixes " I found for the problem have done nothing to help me and as of right now I cannot use 3g and 75% of my calls drop. Can anyone help?

Perhaps this better belongs in the threads pertaining to cm6.1 as opposed to posting a rom specific question in general as there it would receive better attention from people knowing how to deal with it as well as less clutter for those not using the specific rom you are asking a question about.

I was trying to figure out the best place to post this, and it seemed like more of a general thing than something that would go in the cm thread, if a mod feels it needs to be moved, then by all means go ahead.

I wasn't trying to be rude but I assume your question will be better answered in the thread about it.

Problem that brief that on the hero was a bad eri.xml. But I don't know if that is still a useful answer.

Yeah the problem is in eri. Will fix for next release.

bugs in ics v8....!!!!

Here are some bugs I'm dealing with, with my particular ph.
1. Having to mute/unmute during a ph call
2. Random fc in launcher and gallery
Everything else seems to be fine...

A beta rom has bugs!!
OMFG!!!!

I have those same problems.. although once every maybe 10 times the gallery decides to work. I was considering going to stock jfd etc, but I'll wait until next update which should fix things all around... hopefully. I can't say i'm not impressed though. The progress is going by insanely fast.

consider posting bug reports in the rom thread, or on the Passion FB Group page.
theres also a TON of these same threads in the QA section.
i have also uploaded fixes to both random reboots, and the launcher FC issue in several threads and to lazy to cut and paste the links again.

i have also some problem

@beren28, I'm not a noob with roms or betas I have a degree in game design and know there will be bugs. I'm merely stating issues. The rom is awesome. The reason for posting here is because i cant post in the ics v8 threads due to minimal postings on my part. Thx for responses tho.
