Latest zimage 25th July, Screen of Death

A lot of users including myself are having a major problem with the latest zimage. When putting phone in standby and waking phone back up we see nothing just a dark screen yet others say they have it working?
Does anyone know what we are doing wrong if anything? Please reply if you are affected by this problem too.

I confirm that i have the same problem.

zImage from cotulla site is only for testing purpose.
since no source code for these Linux kernel builds is publicly available, nobody will be able to comment. you just lay back and wait for an update.

Same problem . blank Screen
thanks

same problem

so its not just me then. Same Problem

Most likely if you have a TMOUS, you will get the SOD, If you have a EU then no SOD. Different Panels.
Issued being worked on, I do believe.

Please clarify,
Solved = Sharp panels now work? (If so, where can I find that zImage?)
or
Solved = We know what the problem is so hang on?
Thanks in advance.

I have the international version, and my device doesn't wake up, touchscreen works, but not visual.

Thanks, will wait for a fixed zImage. That's the only problem I've been having, everything else is just perfect.
Just FYI, I own a US T-Mobile HD2, and the July 23rd zImage running the HTC Desire + Sense build works REALLY well for me. Apart from the massive battery drain, I've been able to do everything with it - it's my primary OS now.
Oh, and when the screen doesn't wake with the call button, I press 'Win' or 'Home', and that usually wakes it up for me. Otherwise I try again .

new ota details?

Besides wifi calling, tethering and the like; what else will be included in the ota? I heard about some bug fixes, but which ones specifically will be addressed? Also, any chance we will get a new radio and kernel? Finally, who thinks this ota will open the door to root access?
Thanks!

To my knowledge from what I saw the bug fixes include the random freeze/crash and also improved network connectivity and radio recovery.

Quoted for emphasis
My fingers are crossed that the logs will give the devs the key they need to figure out how the phone goes read-only.

Will this also fix the issues people have been having with unlocking their phone?

[Q] Wifi problems

Heya,
Today I'm the proud owner of the Ideos x5!
But there is one thing, I've emailed huawei about it..
The wifi is acting verry strange, found this video on youtube (I have exactly the same issues!)
If I look into settings and watchup the wifi connection it says "1mbps".
On my lg gt540, laptop, ps3 is verything fine.
Does someone have this problem to? Or have a fix?
Thanks!

same problem here,by a small research i did i read that x5 wifi does not like wpa2 security but i didnt put it to the test.Mine keeps loosing conection even with full signal randomly.I hope for a fix ....

Lol thanks, going to test it

Try stockwells rom there's some supposed wifi fixes in it

@andreasha thanks for the hint, I have him only a few days so don't want to flash him yet! Only if i'm sure that it will solve the problems.
@wolfgr Tryed it without any security and it's still poor.. same as WPA/WPA2.

Try go to wifi settings then push menu button and go to advanced put wifi to always on or something like that.

Switching WiFi to always on does not fix the drop-out problem. I frequently lose wifi on my X5 even with it always on, particularly when downloading several app updates and so forth. It's very frustrating, I have WPA2 on my router, don't know if that's related or not. I updated to the newer ROM on the Huawei site but that did not help. Apparently there's an even newer rom due to be released that contains WiFi tethering and some unspecified "WiFi stability" fixes, but no idea when that's going to be released unfortunately.
This is by far the worst issue I have with the X5, in fact if it's not fixed soon (I've had mine for about a six weeks now) I'm giving up on it and buying a Nexus S!

I think you'll find that this is an issue across Android in general Try Googling it and you'll see so don't give up on phone (especially for Nexus 1 as they seem as bad if not worse)

Hmm, I see what you mean. I assumed it was just the Ideos X5, but it does seem to be a common Android fault on several different handsets and several different Android versions. Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Desire, (there's even threads about it on Xooms!), you name it there are similar reports from all over. Don't give up on the X5? This is all the more reason to give up on it (and Android) I'd say. How can Android pretend to be a serious contender if it can't provide reliable WiFi connections? WiFi is hardly a new technology!

Well I've got a e-mail back from Huawei:
Dear Sir/Madam
sorry for the inconvenience it brought to you , you could take your devie to the vendor or the authorized service center of your operator for a test and check,they will decide whether you could enjoy the warranty or not according to our warranty policy(could meet
all demands required by the policy)
Thanks

Well of course the choice is yrs wot I find exciting with the X5 is the development going on here from stockwell, genokolar and others who freely give their time and energy to exploit all they can from this awesome ph!! And there wouldn't be much point to all their efforts without the community of X5/u8800 owners out there wanting the most from their phs they can possibly get I just wish I knew a bit about programmimg etc so I could contribute something to the dev side of things - oh well, I live in hope, lol!

Stock update 2.50.405.2

I just got an update from HTC to 2.50.495.2 and I would like to know if anyone else got this and what are their observations. It happened just 5 minutes ago or so.

I didn't get it but i heard that they fixed the WiFi-issue. The connectivety seems to be better now.

Yup, fixed some wifi issues (constantly dropping connection) for me.

Thanks for the info. I never had the WiFi issue so I guess the update is rather useless for me. Oh well.
Thanks again!

I've never experienced any wifi problems, but updated anyway. Now, the battery is draining pretty quickly compared to before the update Anyone else experiencing the same?

Sorry, but I cant provide a link as it was OTA. I noticed it yesterday on the phone and updated, although I dont know how long its been out. I did some quick research and there doesnt seem to be a lot of information about it except that some say they lost Arabic support.
My phone is, I think, a unit from France so I dont know if all regions have the update. Maybe the others who responded to this thread can shed some light to the updates availability.

My GPS is no different than before, just to let you know for comparison.

Thought my GPS was broken too but it just took a while to 'find' itself. Was hoping the update might have been a preparation for an unlocked bootloader (yes I know it has only been announced for 'current and future handsets'). But I still live in hope. Only had the update for a couple of hours so will need to monitor over a couple of days to assess the affect.

For those who say "what bug, I don't know" try Local Warfare Portable from Play Store on 5.1 and 6.0.1 and see the difference. Besides games firefox scrolling is pretty messed up, I can't read an article properly on it.

No news for now? Would be bad for Motorola to confirm an issue and do nothing to fix it.

I really don't think they'll provide any means of fixing this issue. This is not their flagship phone, and 6.0 will be the last Android support G2 will ever have. Even now beign Lenovo.
Google did the same thing by not acknowledging the Nexus 4 camera bug, their flagship at the time.

You are wasting your time mate! Lenovo does not and will not respond to any problems with these phones. Look at the the hardbrick issue affecting 100's of Moto G2nd users. They just don't give a damn!!!! I have a working Moto G2 but but it will be my 1st and last Moto phone ever unless they change their attitude towards us ... The end users.

We failed, lol
After seeing their support, I'm certain about not buying any Lenovo/Moto device again

Good luck with that. I've had Moto, Samsung, Huawei, and LG and support was crap on all of them.

What's the touch issue?

The screen doesn't pick light/quick touches correctly. I recorded a video showing the issue a few months ago, here it is:
On CM13, doing a quick swipe to unlock the phone doesn't work correctly, you have to do a firm swipe. It's really annoying, mostly in some games like Vainglory (touch-based moba where quick taps are essential) and Pokémon GO (swiping to throw the pokeball doesn't work only you really press on the screen).

Guys, Motorola pushed an update and seems like it fixes the touch issue. Can someone check?

Confirmed, the issue is gone on Thea. Checking Titan later.

Update: I'm talking with LuK about fixing the issue, and if we can find the firmware for XT1072, he probably will get it fixed. Can anyone help?

Confirmed: the touch issue was solved. Moto needs to release kernel source now so custom ROMs can be fixed as well.

known when the update will appear on the ROM retail dsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 ??
now my system is up to date

Guys, so seems like LuK found how to fix the touch issues. The latest stock ROM (the one released a few days ago) updates your bootloader to version 0x4887, and that new bootloader fixes the touch issue. When I mentioned the new bootloader to him, he asked me to flash CM13 because it could fix the touch issues, and it did! So, for those who experience touch issues on custom ROMs, please flash the latest stock ROM to update the bootloader, and then flash CM13/14 to have your issues solved
