Keyboard stops working. - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to switch ROMs from 2.9 Liquid to something else, as it has utter **** WiFi reception for me. I am literally 6 feet away from my router and I have one bar.
I tried to install other ROMs, but EVERY SINGLE ONE has the keyboard failing. I wiped everything but to no luck.

Are you using the correct gapps? Apparently that's a common problem with 4.3

EVO DECK ICS alpha 5

So tried to add this to the alpha 5 topic, but I do not have 10 posts yet.
I flashed from MIKG 3.0 to alpha 5 on Friday with no issues. I ran the fix for the google calendar and was happy with the overall setup. I added the COD tweaks and was impressed with the speed/smoothness of the system. Camera worked out of the box and didn't have any real issues until tonight.
Phone randomly restarted, no big deal. but then I noticed that i had degraded signal. did the *18 call with no change. I had to send a few texts and they all hung and finally failed. restarted phone and same issue occurred.
With the ROM still being a WIP I was not upset, it just isnt a daily driver yet, close though.
next issue was when i restored from nandroid. I hung at the boot screen for ever. Pulled battery and did full wipe and tried again to no avail. I was getting worried at this point. I did have an earlier nan backup of MIKG and that one worked.
Oh and much to my kids dismay angry birds would not load.
Not really looking for any help just trying to get my posts in.
Thanks!

nice info ive been trying to find out how the ics roms are going cuz i havent had time to flash myself. but in regards to your nandroid restore not working. what recovery are you using? (you should use amon-ra 2.3 if you aren't already) and also the mikg restores take a while to load because sense 3.0 is huge, if it doesn't load in about 2-3 minutes then just pull the battery and start it up (don't wipe) and it should boot right up in a reasonable time. it happens occasionally. and welcome to xda saw you had one post so i figured i would welcome you
I have flashed multiple versions of MIKG all wit CWM, it was up in the 7-10 min boot loop time. the kick stand was getting warm. I started with the batt at 90% and when I was finally back up it was at 20%.
I as well can't post. I came from cm7. I used from manager to back up cm7 then install alpha5. Worked fine for me. Using cwm instead of ra though. Not sure if that makes any difference.

I would try to flash with ra. The rom is working great for me as a daily.
Only issue I had with Deck's ICS was no GPS for Navigation.
You may have to do the GPS fix by going into sense rom

Yeah there's something always wrong with CWM I have used amon-ra since February and have had no problems with it. Also as a sidenote with amon my mikg back up with 300mb of apps took all of 5 minutes to back up and like 8% battery. If your backup drained 70% of your battery there is definately something wrong haha

Glad you posted this here.
I don't have enough posts either. I like the ROM but i had a few random reboots too. I flashed from Team Nocturnal stock RLS.5. I also use CWM for Nandroid. I was getting around in ICS well but had a few hangups. Calandar was the biggest issue, but I think I remember that being mentioned, so no biggie. The only major issue I cared about and I don't know if this has been any one else's problem, but my benchmark was significantly lower on this ROM. 805 on quadrant. Just wanted to post if anyone is reading. That would explain why it was a little jerky.
almost there!! lol
ics was really fun to play with. have u tried swapping to nova launcher? it seemed to free the rom up a bit and make it much more tolerable. I do like trebuchet because it seems to look better imo.
my gps seemed to work fine after i flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15760767&postcount=30 it did cut out eventually but that was after a flash to a 3.0 rom ( not to do the gps fix btw) and nandroiding back sooooo i dunno could have been something got fubared in there
there was a calendar fix somewhere in the 400 page post. you had to flash a specific gapps and calendar fix.
Flashed Decks a5 the day it was released. Loved it. I'm still running CWM and haven't had any issues. I did install the GPS drivers listed in a GPS fix post and use Waze for navigation. Quick lock and solid. Gmail sync and calendar sync worked as well, using Jorte as my calendar. I used the file titled ICSGoogleApps12-16. My only issues were the jerky video and most games I played wouldn't load.
Amazing work, I tried all the other ICS rom's and I had less issues and smoother operations with Deck's.
Great talent. I have no complaints cause I know it is all a work on progress. I can't believe my old EVO is running ICS before my buddy who just got a new phone...... priceless! !!!!!

I'm using the Google Calender sync and don't seem to be having any problems with it. Haven't tried that GPS fix though, gunna try that tonight.
I've noticed as looking through the official thread it seems many people have a problem with the trebuchet (sp) launcher on page 7 of the widgets. I'm having no issues. Anyone else like this?

I had an issue with the stock launcher on page 7 of the widgets. I just switched to Nova Launcher and have had not problems, in fact I personally like it better.
I've also been using this rom lately. Although it has some features broken, its still very very usable. Makes me realize how much I don't use "premium" features.

Also, this from us very snappy and smooth. But when I do quadrant benchmarks, it gets a score of about 945, which is lower than stock evo and lower than my 1500 scoring miui rom, but it feels faster nonetheless. Is this a product of the hardware acceleration?

Freezing of Nexus S

Am I the only one? Every Jelly Bean ROM has the same problem. Sometimes it freezes, and it won't do a thing, I can't even unlock it, it just sits there, black, I can only reboot it by pulling out the battery. It's so annoying. At least 4 times a day. How do I fix this? I tried PA, Stock JB, and now I'm on latest CM10 nightly, I wiped cache and dalvik every time before I flashed a new ROM.
I hope you can help me.
Even I have problem with JB , it hangs for 2 3 seconds n becomes normal. No need to pull the battery n all , it becomes normal by itself. Using stock 4.1

I had the same issue - except that I was in ICS stock...
got worse and worse in time - in the end I even couldn't use my keyboard anymore (whole lower part was unresponsive)
I testet it with some apps from the market which showed that the lower part of my screen didn't response to any inputs
solution was to take my nexus s to a repair center and they replaced the whole touch screen unit
Can you send me links of those apps? My touchscreen responds well but the problem is that the phone entirely hangs, and when I lock it, I can't unlock it anymore. It is I9023

Wipe data/factory reset before flashing a ROM. Stock launcher was also causing big freezes on early 4.1 builds. Have you tried with another launcher?

I think I fixed it. I deleted a MIUI folder on my SD card. Dunno what was it doing there, wipe didn't include it I guess. It took about 200mb of data from MIUI ICS to JB I had some time ago. It doesn't lag now.

Most Jellybean ROMs run much better than any previous versions for me on my Nexus S 4G. I always wipe and format all relevant partitions. I also at one point wiped the internal/SD storage on my phone. I have seen a weird flicker then freeze happen on all JB Roms/kernels but only happens once a month if less. Currently running RASBEAN JELLY and Bedalus's Marimite 4.7 kernel. Maybe try different launchers? Also try running phone without doing Google Restore. Slowly add back apps to identify the prob. Don't get why so many are having these issues w JB

[Q] Android 4x sense roms locked screen flashes on and off

I've tried 4 or 5 4x sense roms on the MT4G. In all cases, when the screen is off (locked), it will flicker every 15-30 seconds. It doesn't come fully on, just flickers grey for a half a second before going dark again.
Through web search and trial and error, I've traced the problem to WiFi. It happens when WiFi is turned on (it's connected to my router). When I turn WiFi off, the flickering stops. I assume that it tries to wake up when the phone periodically communicates with the router.
This has happened with Glacier One 1.3, Blackout, Viper, Hyperion Yoshi, and Android Revolution. It doesn't happen with the old Generation X (Cyanogenmod variant) that I had on the phone.
Other than turning off WiFi when I'm done using the phone, does anybody know how to get rid of this bug when using a Sense ROM?

As has been said in the half dozen threads I've seen it mentioned in, it is kernel related. The source for elginsk8r's kernel is in his github. If you know any C and want to try your hand, feel free.
Yea. I have my phone connected to my router all day and night I'm home and mine still doesn't flicker.

Neither does mine, now that I'm back on a CM7-based ROM. It didn't flicker when I had the stock un-rooted system that came with the phone.
So the question is: Which GB or ICS Sense ROM (other than a rooted and dejunked version of the stock) and/or kernel doesn't flicker when the screen is off and the phone is connected to WiFi?

Only ics roms will flicker. The reason is the kernel. If you read any ics rom thread, it's mentioned.
Like myself though, not everyone experiences this flicker problem.

Nexus 10 restarting randomly

Hi all, had my nexus 10 since the opening sale on the google play store. Recently I've been having issues with it restarting randomly, in some cases when it has just been sitting on my desk without any input.
I've also had a few problems with the wifi as well as a creaky backplate. I see the backplate issue is common with most who have the device but was wondering if the WiFi issue could be the reason my device keeps restarting? I'm at the point now where I may have to send it back.

The quick and easy fix that worked for me was to disable all location settings. It did the trick and it should for you as well. Hope that helps.

I'd be willing to bet it was rebooting the whole time and you didn't notice. Turning off the location services is hit and miss. Some say it cures it (after an unspecified amount of time usually) but others like me still see reboots.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I just started getting the reboot error except I was able to isolate the problem to a lost wifi signal. With chrome reloading a couple pages, turn off my wifi router and the nexus 10 will freeze. It won't respond to any input and will just set for about a minute until it finally reboots on its own.
Only time ever I have had the freeze/reboot error is when I went into an area that lost the signal. Seems like chrome/nexus 10 does not know how to handle the lost signal and tries to correct it with a hardware reboot. Happens at both 2.4 and 5ghz.
Hopefully be corrected in the next software upgrade.

I only have issues if the AP in the router is set to use a 40Mhz channel bandwidth. If I set it to 20Mhz, I can enjoy stable wifi goodness. It took me 2 RMA'd Nex 10s and testing with 3 different routers to come to this conclusion, but this was the workaround that succeeded for me.

I have actually noticed a difference on the different routers so I'll pay a bit more attention to this and see if my device reflects the same results.

+1. Same process worked wonders for my N10.
I know random reboots is common with 4.2 but is it possible it's hardware related or something else? Reason being, I get alot of random reboots on the PUB AOKP rom, that just about all other users of that rom say they have zero random reboots, and I also get reboots while in TWRP, which I have reinstalled multiple times.

Its just so ludicrously awful to need to replace default apps and turn off features to have a usable tablet. Not so much for us because we will root and fix things ourselves but if a random person goes into best buy and buys a nexus 7 or 10 they will have a bad experience. All the people who say android is buggy...this is why. Its unfortunate how broken 4.2 is.

I have a hunch that the CPU isn't getting enough power. I've currently upped the voltage by 25V so I'm going to see if that does anything. Using CleanROM definitely did reduce it though.

[Q] So, what's up with my flashlight?

Okay, well I know this is almost a ghost town, but I've got to try to find a solution for this. Before I started flashing ROM's my flashlight worked great, the torch app was fine, the camera flash was fine, and into a few different flashes it was still fine. However, after flashing Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2 it worked for awhile and then stopped. I dealt with it for a few days because I really liked that ROM, then the time arrived that I needed the torch. I then flashed Albinoman's CM 10.2 in which it still didn't work. I'm now on Legacy Carbon 4.3 and I intend to stay there until I upgrade this phone. But I can't figure out if it's because all the switching ROM's or if it's a hardware issue. I've barely seen anything like this in my searches. Nothing on here and even Google. A little bit of help would be nice, if not well thanks for the awesome ROM's.
Oh and one last thing in case it's asked, everything else works great. Camera will take pictures just won't flash and torch app says "torch is now on" but nothing happens.

Was really hoping you were on to something there. Flashed CM 7 and it still didn't work. I guess it's done then. Thanks for the suggestion.
No problem, just remember to hit that thanks button instead of saying thanks lol.
