Tapping problems?

Does anyone else have to tap something multiple times in order for it to actually do something? Seems like I'm always tapping something more than once. I don't know if I should blame the Kindle or it's OS. I've never had to tap so much on my iPhone to get it to do something.

what rom are you on ? had this with stock 6.2.1 - now with 6.2.2 it's way better - reacts nearly every time

I'm on 6.2.2. 6.2.1 had this problem, and all "flavors" of 6.2.2 (stock and otherwise) seems to do it. Doesn't matter what app I'm in either.

I get this in golauncher l. I press on an Icon see the pressed Icon transition but nothing happens. I'm gonna assume because the launcher is not specific for tablets. Kindle launcher doesn't have the tapping issue

I'm going to attempt to wipe it and reload 6.2.2 stock. Well, the stock version available here so it doesn't blow away FireFireFire and TWRP
After a full backup of course.

I'm nearly positive it is an OS issue. The responsiveness of early ICS ROMs was pretty bad, but it has improved a lot especially in the last week. Hashcode has released some fixes in the past few days specifically related to this actually.

At first I also had this problem using ICS roms, but now Im on barebone CM7 & also using an app called Touch Recalibrate modded for KF, and I never had to tap twice again ever since
I dont remember exactly where I saw the app tho, lol

It's a good new indeed. But don't understand why you're waiting for JB to use the tablet.
As I know JB is a "minor" update, and Thinkpad with ICS's working very fine for me (not like the crappy 3.1 !!!)

Loving my TPT on ICS, I don't care for JB on it, I just want root access!

Thank's to Koshu!
I've successfully installed CM10 v. 0.5, but have problem with layout switch on external Thinkpad Folio keyboard. "CTRL+SCPACE" combination doesn't work. It's annoying to change layout through settings..
It'll be good to change input language by pressing "Sym" key on keyboard as it were in original firmware.
P.S. Can't post it to dev forum.

wow, great work Koshu!
Outstanding job! Works great! Screen lock works fantastic!
Quick question: using adwlauncher and the screen draws sometimes get a bit messed up. The only scroll method that works is regular side to side bounce. Any thoughts?
Thanks again and awesome job!
Interesting just changed density hack option for icons. Unchecked screens are not useable. Checked screen useable but screen draws sometimes get messed up. Would this have something to do with the density issue you mention?
Also, noticed Gallery app doesn't show synced account photos fro Google. Not sure how to fix this.

Latest update - v5, Bluetooth appears to be broken
I saw this in the developer thread, but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
I wanted to confirm that I am also seeing the problem with Bluetooth not being able to turn on, after apply v5 of this ROM. Everything else seems to be working great, though.
Update: Oops, sorry, I guess this thread is for Thinkpad, not the Ideapad K1. My comments apply to the latter.

Yep that is correct.

Since I am still a few posts short of the required 10 for posting in the development section I will give my feedback here.
Koshu released an experimental version 0.8 today, I installed it and ran into one rather annoying problem, the browser button seems to disable not only touch input, but also pen input. I have already wiped and reflashed, if I can provide any helpful logs or some such just let me know it.

A few posts shy as well. Was thinking of flashing 0.8 , but it sounds like it may ne good to wait. Current version doesn't have touchscreen working for some major games like deadspace and shadowrun. Hoping that gets fixed soon.
Developer is doing a great job keeping this tablet current. We are lucky!

Allright. Been reading only long enough. Here I com for my 10 posts
BTW
I successfully put koshus cm10 on my tpt as well. I think I like it.
OTA 3.5 was pretty awesome as well, but it was the annoying little details that lenovo couldn't get fxed.

Noticed that copy and paste doesn't seem to work with cm10. Am I doing sth. wrong?
I'm still on 0.7 cause I need 3G.

If anyone with more then 10 posts reads this:
could you please ask over at the developers forum if anyone has copy-paste issues. it does seem to work sometimes. but not every time I long press some text. especially bad in firefox.

I don't have the 10 posts but I am running 0.8.1 and have not noticed any cut and paste issues. I'll exercise the cut and paste in Firefox and let you know what I find.
EDIT: I tried cut and paste with both Firefox and Dolphin browsers on several web sites and didn't have any problems except with Firefox on the this xda site.

ah ok, thanks. it showed while I tried to post here and over at official lenovo forum. maybe its related to forum sites...
I think it's the recent firefox update. It seems it is very hard to even press a link now. this was better before.
so no blame to koshus great work!

This policy of the 10 posts before posting on the development forum is driving me crazy. I have a lot of questions on this rom but zero answers...
...let's try anyway...
I am experiencing a relevant and annoying issue: when I plug the hdmi cable in, there is a significant drop in responsiveness. For instance, Lecture Notes becomes almost unusable. Any clues? I didn't notice this problem before with the stock kernel. Can it be related to a driver issue?

My first post here... let me just say thanks for the awesome work with CM10 on the TPT Kosh!
I flashed 0.8.1 on my TPT last night which had a SC rom (lots of Chinese apps etc). It works well but I have noticed the TPT is rebooting randomly. Doesn't seem to be consistant as I can watch a 40 minute video, let it sit idle for 3-4 hours with no reboot.
Anyone else have these issues? Is there any log files I can look at to see what is causing it to reboot?

[Q] Flickering/disappearing launcher

my Iconia (always more often) flashes in the launcher, flickers and most of the times everything disappear apart the wallpaper...
i have used apex, nova, trebuchet, holo... all (before or later) start flickering and then die... only way out is to kill the launcher or start another one somehow.
my rom is reflexxx stryker rev 4.2 (but i also used cm9 and had some problem)
i have ics bootloader, but i can't say what version, sorry
i have seen some posts about this problem,
most common idea is that the problem is in the ics bootloader.
the only idea of a solution was to go back to honeycomb BL
but those posts i saw where almost 2 months old... so i wanted to ask:
are there any new solution about this? any new hints? any new ideas?
it is also difficult to search about this on the forum.. since i don't know exactly what to search
thanks anyone for any hint.

As far as I know there is no fix. I've tried many different roms and bootloaders as well as MANY launchers. The only way that I have been able to tone it down is to not use Google widgets. But even then when I play something that uses 3d graphics it may still trigger. I've taken logcats and it says something about some sort of video error, researched it a little and found nothing. I hope that someone has a solution.

i tried to use less widgets... but doesn't really change much...
it is very random, but in my experience it appears more often when battery is low
do you feel the same?
i hope it can be fixed, i'm seriously thinking to sell it because of that (but who will buy it..?)

Don't sell it, just flash stock. I tried them all and had problems. Stock for me run's with no problems and the fastest just give it a try and you won't look back.

I went stock for a while and it was noticeably less often, I still had the issue. Especially when playing Great Little War Game. So I just went back to an overclocked rom. I enjoy the performance more than I regret the flashing screen...

as i wrote to JdgM3NT4L in a pm:
my "solution" is to put a home switcher app shortcut in the lockscreen.
so that when it happens i can kill apex or switch to nova
i mirrored my settings in apex and nova (nova can import all apex settings automatically)
that's the way i survive this boring bug
if someone like the "solution" can try it
and maybe hit thanks button

Did you go full stock no unlocked bootloader..? Not just run a stock rom.

I actually did the rollback to 3.1, updated officially over the air all the way up. Complete stock. It was better, but the issue persisted.
Loth, I have not noticed if the charge had much effect, But one thing that I think that seems to trigger it is when there is a game/app going that is using 3d graphics, and then any sort of notification pops up as an overlay. There is one rom that I could get it to do this almost on command. I could have a game going and the check the notifications. 80% of the time that was enough to get the flashing started.
So perhaps what you've noticed could be triggered by the low battery popup?
I can say that the latest Flexreaper ShellSHOCK does this very rarely. Maybe three times in the last few weeks, and I play with the tablet a lot.

i installed latest shellshock, let's see

It happens to me all the time with all the launchers I 've tried. I am in unlocked ics bootloader and stock rom. The same happened with the locked bootloader. I tried the CM10 Rom same results. I removed all widgets from the homescreen with no luck.
If it's in the ICS Bootloader then all must have the same problem or not?
Any solution except going back to 3.2?

To fix it I had to go full stock to Honey Comb then reinstall CWM then install Thor cm v15 and no problems since. I think the problem is the ICS bootloader

After some good times with few troubles, now it is again a huge problem: i almost can't use the tablet it happens every day and more than once.
I think I'll go back to stock honeycomb

[Q] No "Add to Split View" in i9300?

Hi,
I flashed Omnirom 4.4.2 nightly 2014-03-17 yesterday and then updated it to the 21st nightly using the built in update.
I can't figure out how to enable/use the multi-window / split screen feature.
I don't have the "Add to Split View" option in "Recent Apps" manager like shown in so many blogs and how to videos, no matter on which app I tap and hold.
The only options I have are "remove from list" and "App info".
I also tried enabling OmniSwitch but that didn't seem to help.
I flashed superuser from TWRP so I do have root.
Am I missing something?
I'm on i9300.
Baseband I9300JKEMC1
Boeffla kernel 2.1 (although I also tested with Omni stock kernel)
Thanks,
Pyrocks

Same here on my n7105

Now really, I did some more reading, do I have to install Xposed framework and XMultiWindow?
I thought this was supposed to be integrated into OmniRom.
Does it work for others?
What may be the reason?

After digging around I found out its not implemented by default in the final/nightly builds yet. I think you can patch it in.

Thanks for replying.
Do you know how can I patch it in? is there a flashable zip I can download (and maybe place in the FlashAfterUpdate folder) ?
I couldn't find more information about this (except for Xposed framework and XMultiWindow) - and found it strange that so many reviews and blogs show this feature with OmniRom and it's not there.
Thanks again.
Pyrocks

OK - found it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567667
I think that the fact it's not yet integrated in the nightlies should be mentioned in a more visible place. It's not so obvious as some might think.

To be honest I gave up on it after reading about stability issues. Probably why it doesn't get included in the night lies.
Aside from that, I have a Note II which had split view on Touchwiz and I never used the feature!

Indeed stability issues, i gave it a try and ended up with a bootloop. Luckily the post also contains instructions for reverting the change so no harm done eventually, but yes, very unstable.
In all the forums and blogs this is like THE feature when peopele discuss about this rom. It has gotten too much publicity and too little discussion or work.
I also had toucbwiz and never used it, the reason was it was only for a limited list of apps. If it would be limitless and any app can be split - i'm pretty sure it'll end up being useful. That's kind of one of the reasons I wanted to try this rom in the first place (i'm not regretting though, it's mor:laugh:e stable than cm 11 nightlies).
Hope it gets fixed. Until then maybe I'll give xMultiWindow a try.

Aosp dialer on tw

I like the aosp dialer. I have searched both xda and Internet to find out how i can get it on my phone with stock rom. I have tried to push Google dialer and contacts to system. I can install them but i can't use them because of fc.
Anyone with a idea or something that could help..?

You can move to aosp rom
AFAIK TW is too deep in the system, I think it is not possible without breaking something. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes i it is deep, therefore I didn't delete Samsung's dialer...etc. I am actually on aosp now. But sometimes I need s-pen, gear menager...

I think most of those random reboot issues are gone. I am on Slim rom, Lean kernel, and did not have any issues for weeks. It all depends if you are using 'nightlies', which might be unstable, or official releases. Every rom has official 'stable' release once in a while. Stick to that and you will not have any issues. If you install slim rom, go with weekly 7.9, not the latest 8.0 (new release, although stable, you should probably wait for 8.1 or 8.2). If you go with cyanogen, install M10 release. On top of that you might want to use stable kernel, such as lean kernel, for additional speed and battery life.

I will try it. Actually maybe I have tried it before. I guess reboot problems causes by bluetooth. It happens when I connect it to my car. Not always but often.
Btw, i have also a problem that exists in every aosp/cm rom. You know when you tap and hold an app from app drewer you have two options on the top of screen. One is app info and the other is uninstall. After a few reboots the options disapper. You can still move the icon to the top and choose one of options even these options are unvisiable.
Any help?

I don't use bluetooth, so I can not tell. As for the icon problem, never seen that before, but it is definitely related to the launcher. Which one were you using, stock, trebuchet, or nova? Slim comes with nova and doesn't have such issues.
