I want to replace power button (standby / screen off) .
It can't or don't have any app , isn't it???
I'm sorry, but could you clarify what you're asking?
He wants an application that can be used to turn the screen off/put the phone to sleep. To "replace" the power button.

Carlos Graves from phonedog was showing off cyanogen a month or so ago and he had some sorta program that could power down your phone and such. I might be wrong though. If your phone is rooted, I could look it up for you.

Sure, i'd be glad to help. It will take me a little bit to find it though. I might be mistaken though but i'll report back whatever I can find.
Thanks, man.
I hope you find what you thought you saw, but I really doubt it was such an app, though. We have this other thread going on ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653209 ), and nobody seems to have heard of such a function currently available.
Shame though, as it turns out that alot of people is having major problems with their power buttons.
Well I found what I was looking for but it wasn't what I thought it was. I'm extremely sorry.
The program I thought turned off the phone is called "quick boot" but that just helps your phone boot into recovery and such. It can also reboot your phone which is a plus. It can be seen here

at 40 seconds into the video. Sorry about that.
No problem, that's what I thought. (See my last post.)
And the search continues...
If you're willing to root its a done deal on cm or enomthers.

Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.
ROFLMAO
That is by far the funniest thread title I've seen on here yet
It does sound like a hardware issue though.

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though
I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.
Can anyone point me in the direction of carrier specific stock firmwares? I can only find stock android ones.
Thanks,

this is so true
I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

Try samfirmware.com, down at the botton of the GT I9000 firmwares are the provider's ones.

Think that's what I'll have to do then. Hadn't thought of using Kies, thanks for that. I'll whack a stock 2.1 rom on there and see if it will update to 2.2 through kies.

P.S. how does the multi-quote work on here. When I select the threads I want to quote and press post reply nothing happens
I've always noticed that sometimes I misclick things when I'm browsing on the Focus.. but it wasn't until today that I tested it out using the Multi Touch test through Diagnosis.
When I touch some spot, it seems to go a bit to the left and up.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks.

Afaik, no. And MS says no. It might be just you pressing differently (hopefully). If not, this is a warranty issue.
Thanks for the answer, guess I'll have to live with it or something. I bought this phone off somebody and I don't have the receipt.. which still technically shouldn't matter, since this phone hasn't even been out for a year, meaning it should still be under warranty. Any idea how it would work?

Unfortunately, no, as I live in EU and I have a Focus bought in US I hope I won't have to find out
Technically, it should work. You can try and go in an AT&T store and just say you have this issue with the phone, and yes, you're the owner. See then what they ask.
So i am going to do more testing on this but i just got the Nexus 6p and i use Google Music ALOT! But when i am using it and turn the phone and it rotates...There is a slight lag with the phone and music. This is right out of the box with the most recent OS update and all updates from the app store. No other apps installed other than the stock apps.
Just wanted to see if this is normal with the phone or a problem. I want to stick with this phone but can not live with t his lag problem at all.
Let me know
Thanks!
I'm not too sure about the phone lag you're talking about, but the music lag when you rotate is because of the speaker channels being swapped; when you hold it portrait, the left channel is played on the top speaker, and the right on the bottom. When you rotate is so the top speaker is now on the right side, the phone will rearrange the channels so the music is now correctly playing on the right channels (right on right, left on left), which is why you hear small gap in the music while rotating.

General lag? Huh? On stock? Latest version?
This is one of the fastest phones I've ever used. I noticed NO lag whatsoever. Just not sure about some of you guys. I think you just like the word lag. Hey, I want my phone to open an app right away when I'm thinking about opening an app BEFORE I touch the icon. Yeah...that's it.

"Lag" is my favorite word! Every time I read it I get off.
That's why I have the Nexus 6p. For the lag and good times.

Why is there always someone like you here? If someone has an issue with your beloved phone, this is how you act? The guy is personally having an issue, it doesn't mean the phone sucks. Give him a break while he tries to fix his issue.
As to the OP, it's probably what has already been said and the slight delay are the speakers switching orientation.

LOL...Puuulease. I'm simply stupefied that anyone who has this phone can have a lag. Hence the reason I asked his configuration which he did not report nor did he answer. How do we know what he's running on this "laggy" phone. There are literally a ton of people on this forum and on YouTube and all over the Internet that say this is one of the fastest and most "lag free" phones they have ever used. But some guy posts and says he has a "lag" with no other information and we're all supposed to be OMG...NOT a lag!!!!! We're all gonna' die!!!!!

And like I said before, he said which app he was experiencing lag in within his first post. He didn't say the entire phone was laggy.
He also clearly said it was straight out of the box with no other apps installed.
So you either clearly didn't read the OP or you have some serious reading comprehension issues going on.

He actually quoted one of the other people in this thread, not the OP, or you, and then you engaged him first by quoting his reply to that person. Either way you both need to quit the squabbling, it makes you both look petty.

My point is you attacked him, telling him he didn't read the OP, and that he has reading comprehension issues, but he was never talking to the OP, he was talking to the person who said he was experiencing general lag when he first responded to this thread, which is when you first engaged him. That's why he told you to check who he quoted. Your entire argument with him here is based on your incorrect assertion that he was taking to the OP. For the record, I don't agree with him at all, every phone has lag at some point, including this one, whether people want to admit it or not.

I appreciate you clarifying. Yes, that;s exactly what happened. It's actually a pretty silly argument. I was merely commenting on a drive by post about a "general" lag with no details. I think that is the person that should have to at least explain themselves and not simply post a drive by.
For the record, I've only had the 6P for about 2 months now, but I have NO lag whatsoever and have a LOT of apps installed. Each to his own I guess.

Would be nice yes - if they made some kind of software solution for it. I'm talking with the seller in regards of my phone at the moment about the issue. They have 1 year warranty which is near closing - and I don't think this is an alright issue on a phone that is pretty expensive, at least when I got it.

It is just color calibration. There is already solution with proper kernel and color calibration with rooted devices. Someone done LGs job, they just need to apply that in Oreo, just that

And yet it takes them ages to get a fix out to the people apparently... One more reason why Mobiles should never be locked without an easy unlock feature for the people wanting it.
We need to be "LOUD" for them to hear us. This is my first LG phone and probably the last because their support.

Should be easy for them to actually just have a Guy on the forum all the time as his Job - and looking it over and keeping them up to date about what is going on.
The reason I got an LG phone was because they were the only company having a newer model with old features like the battery replacement and the Micro SD Card option! Would have been nice with 2 Micro SD cards and not 2 sim cards but anyway... A lot of improvement could absolutely be made. Yet, still the best phone on what I want - and yet so much that could have been better.
Possibly Oreo is Comming in April as I've read on many Authentic Forums.

You can solve that with root and proper kernel. It is software problem. Because of that I hope that they will apply it with Oreo update.

Just because it can be fixed with software with some settings is not to say it is not a hardware issue with the screen. As we know it works out of the box without any issue and over time becomes a problem.
Anyway I have a lot of retention - and not that much experience with installing a new kernel or jail-breaking the mobile first. I have the latest update for the phone and not sure if that can be jail broken, I have not looked into it yet.
The thing is - it's going to take hours and hours to get me to the point of jail breaking, looking into kernels as it seems theres not a few to chose from? asking people and reading on the topic and there always seems to come up issues as well on the path that you need to use time for trying to fix.
People do some changes to the color for getting the retention away, right? So even if it fixes the issue or lessen it at least is not to say that is the settings the company had in mind in the first place for it. So I'm not keeping my noose up for them fixing the ghosting - but will be happily surprised if they do. But in this society of throwing away and getting you a new phone all the time - well... It's like many of the other stories where they engineer things to break on purpose so they can keep on selling new ones. This world is wicked!
