I updated my G2 to the Gingerbread 2.3.3 version and I noticed that when using the hardware keyboard (Not the virtual one) the lights either don't stay on for very long or don't come on at all. Is anyone else noticing this issue or do I have a sensor going?
yes seen this happen too..
Since I have been running ICS, I have noticed more instability than HC 3.21. After upgrading to ICS I wiped the tablet and things got better for a while, but it is not as stable as HC. ICS also is also noticeably slower than HC for most tasks.
One problem is that after running a while, if I go to the home screen, the screen flickers, but I cannot select any apps. Every time I tap home icon, the screen flickers. The only cure is turning off and on the tablet. I assume this is a software problem, not a hardware problem. Has anyone experiences this or found a solution? Hopefully there will be an update to ICS to fix this and other stability issues.
I hate to wipe the tablet again, since I did it has only been a few days since I did it and I have been trying to get everything set up the way I want.
Are you on the official OTA ICS update? I'm not experiencing such symptoms on mine. I'm running Flexreaper ROM and it's faster, smoother than HC. The touchscreen is way better.

I am using the official ICS update.
I agree that the touch screen is less touchy.
Today Springpad did a forced close, and then all of the icons disappeared on the home screen. The wallpaper was still there, just no icons. But if I tapped on an invisible icon, the app would start.
I just did a factory reset a few days ago and it seemed to not make a difference.
So here's what I've discovered.
As of now, on stock 4.1.1, the phone runs smooth when audio is screwed up. The moment touch sounds work again (or the moment I install SoundAbout to fix it) it starts lagging like crazy. Is this a hardware thing? After switching roms, kernels, versions of Android, flashing stock and locking the bootloader nothing has worked.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So I'm having this strange issue that I don't really see mentioned previously (based on my multiple searches)
My phone was running fine until I flashed Paranoid Android (The last Jellybean 4.1 Release). On this ROM i was getting some insane lag, sluggish performance. I'd swipe on the home screen and get a huge delay or the phone would read it as a long touch and bring up the wallpapers option. Opening folders and the app drawer had some serious slow downs. It was a real mess.
I assumed the phone just didn't play well with the ROM so I flashed over to Bugless Beast. The odd thing is that the problems persisted. I would get just as horrible performance and the same sluggish visual effects and stuff. Specifically I remember even the audio slowing down and being choppy (touch sounds) until they automatically disabled themselves and the ROM ran smooth for a bit but returned to the sluggishness again.
So last night I restored to stock flashing the stock image and relocking the bootloader. Rooted, unlocked, flashed recovery again and loaded up Bugless Beast and the issue is still happening. Even got my first random reboot on Bugless Beast today after it slowed down really bad. Now I've noticed that when touch sounds disable themselves so does media audio (while the ringer and notification sounds still work). This is pretty much why I'm convinced it's a software problem and not a hardware one.
Basically I just wanted to know if anyone's experienced something similar and found a way to fix it? Probably going to reflash to stock tonight
EDIT: Well it seems like the audio thing might be a hardware issue. SoundAbout fixed that but I don't see how my audio jack could have been damaged in between flashes.
EDIT 2: Current State:
- I tried flashing just the system img (multiple times) and the lag returned
- I just flashed a 4.2.1 ROM just to see what happened. Touch sounds are back which means my headphone jack fixed itself. Still EXTREMELY slow.
- And just like that headphone jack screwed AGAIN but no more lag? Any reason for these two things to be related?
Bump. Any help? Still happening, though not as common, when I flashed stock
Could it be a hardware problem? Though it would be odd for a hardware issue to show up after flashing a rom. How long have you had the phone before the issues started?
Have you tried the official 4.1.1 image?
If so, do problems go away?
If you are using ports you have to expect bugs.
Let us know

Try flashing just the system.img a few times in fast boot with a reboot boot loader between. I was having slow boot up and random performance issues on full stock until I flashed that partition with the stock image (3 Times to be precise). I no longer have the 5 minute wait for the Google logo to disappear, and overall much snappier. Apparently something was leftover from previous restores/downloaded OTA updates.

I'd suggest you stop messing around with multiple ROMs and start trying different kernels. Kernels will impact performance much more than any specific ROM will. Try either an updated version of leanKernel (assuming your sig is accurate) or a different kernel all together. Others have had luck with franco, trinity, etc, etc.
Had the same problem on my GSM GNex yesterday. Flashed a ROM combination (Xylon 4.2.1 + Lean Kernel 5.0) and had this lag.. everything would lag and FC.. tried a full wipe as well but didnt work..
Changed to another AOSP Rom (UDK 4.2.1 with linaro kernel) and its fine now..
Oh and i also changed recovery from 6.0.1.5 non-touch(that i flashed yesterday) to CWM 6.0.1.9 touch..
Not sure if this helps but thats what worked for me.. I suggest going back to a ROM that worked for you in the past.. and also try formatting your SD card and run the phone without putting back your data for a while..
@rlb81 - Starting to think it might be a hardware one but at this point I'm not sure of anything. Only had the device 3 months.
@tincbtrar - Yeah I flashed the official 4.1.1 image and the problems are still there. Ridiculously sluggish and the audio problems. In fact, on stock 4.1.1 I just had this issue where I'd turn the screen off, the animation would be really slow, and then I'd get a black screen and wouldn't be able to wake it up. Did a battery pull to boot it again and the same exact issue the second time it turned on.
@Winesnob - I'll be sure to give this a try. Thanks so much! This is a really odd issue and I've never experienced it on any of my previous android devices (Fascinate, Incredible, Thunderbolt, even the old HTC Vogue)
@Cilraaz - Currently just trying to get stock running properly so everything is locked right now. Can't remember but I'm pretty sure I tried the newer lean kernel when I flashed back to bugless.
@technogravy - Kinda the same response I have for Cilraaz here. Ideally I'd like to get stock running properly so that I can be sure there isn't something horribly messed up with my phone but I'll be sure to give both of your suggestions a try if things don't seem to work with stock.
Thanks so much to all of you guys. If you have any other input it'd be greatly appreciated.
+1 on try different kernels, my phone seems to love lean kernel. I switched to tiny kernel for a few days and every so often, a simple task like opening tapatalk would take up to 30 seconds, and everything would become unresponsive. Nothing but smoothness on lean, give some different kernels a try.

I tried Winesnob's method and I THOUGHT it worked. Was running smooth for a good amount of time and just now back to the really choppy mess it was before. In fact it just got frozen on the lock screen and went to a black screen again.
This is killing me. The headphone jack thing seems to be a hardware issue anyway so I emailed Wirefly about getting a replacement. I feel like they'll avoid that though and I'll be left with this.
Gonna try some other things tonight. Wish me luck
EDIT: The thing gets so choppy that notification sound get choppy and crackle. This is insane. I'm fully stock minus the unlocked bootloader right now
EDIT2: Flashed stock image and touch sounds came back. This is getting really weird. Lag is still here though. Really bad lag
Bumping again now that I've sort of pinpointed the issue. Lags with touch sounds enabled and headphone jack works / soundabout installed with touch sounds on.
Currently the phone's headphone jack is screwed up, I installed soundabout, disabled touch sound and no lag.
Over in the dinc2 forums a lot of people are having the same issue when going from vipers sense rom back to aosp. I know that's not the case here but they found it was due to a new lib partition that was introduced in jb. Again, not sure if I'm 100% on this, but it does sound like a bad wipe and something is getting left from previous roms

Ahh thanks for the heads up
Would it be wise for me to try going back to the ROM that started the problem? Maybe that'll do *something?
Again, from what I saw, everyone had some luck going back to the rom that caused the problem.
There's a tool in the developer thread called "super duper wipe" that seems to have fixed the lag for ones having the issue. I'm not sure how it works, but If you can take it apart and look at the zip, it may point someone in the right direction.

I took a look at that super duper wipe script...looks interesting but not necessary on our phone.
Im starting to think you may have a hardware issue if you cant flash stock images and get everything back to normal. Maybe a relock and then unlock?
i just did this cause I had a SIM card issue...and naturally it wiped my data completely.

turns out my lag problems weren't gone completely until i wiped /System before flash.. Alot of ROM's out there have a /system wipe script, but the one causing my FC's and lag didn't, so it was installing the new system files on top of the old ones and possibly causing a conflict.
it could the same for you
Yeah I've recently tried unlocking again, formatting system before a ROM flash and I still get lag. Now it's more that it will last a day without the lag and just magically come back the next day. Headphone/speaker issues still exist. Wirefly completely ignored my first email so I sent them another one. Hoping for the best.
Completely lost on what this could be
anyone see this thread?

I have random lag on my vzw nexus and i think its io related and nothing to do with the kernel.

I'll check out that app but like I've mentioned. Lag seems to be coming from sound. After installing soundabout to get the speaker working again I get some nasty lag. Disable touch sounds and I have no lag. Disable the sound effects on twitter - no issues with the app. WireFly said I'm still under manufacturer warranty through my carrier and it sounds like I should be covered. If Verizon tries anything to get around that they'll be willing to do a three way call to make sure I get the replacement. I'll probably end up with a refurb but hopefully it'll beat this stupid issue.
Just stopping in to say thanks to everyone that tried to fix the issue but Verizon is sending out my replacement device today and I'll be sending this one with the faulty headphone jack back.
Problem solved!
Hi folks,
I'm not sure what's up with my phone. I have CM10 beta on it and since earlier today the D button on the keyboard is completely unusable. Also, I have a hard touch hitting R. I have tried touching the same area in other apps and it seems to work fine. Maybe there's a tool out there I could use to confirm this?
I had this happen before on an earlier build of CM10. When it happened before (and as of now), rebooting doesn't fix it. Last time I gave up and just upgraded my CM10 ROM, and it has been working ever since (around a month or so).
Today, the touch screen experienced some "glitches". What I mean is, I took it out to use it and it seemed like it was detecting touch/drag events in various spots, and I had to put it to sleep to get it working again.
I have no idea where to start with diagnosing this. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, since re-flashing before fixed it. Any ideas?
Go back to stock, if you have the same problem then it will probably be hardware issues.

Hi just wondering if anyone knows how to bring back or stop the auto replacement feature of the stock samsung keyboard from dissapearing. I am currently using the Jedi kitkat rom which has it initially then after awhile it just seems to vanish. I can bring it back by reflashing to rom but it always seems to go mia again. Anyone have any ideas?

Mine disappeared on the stock rom after using Wanam xposed so I started using the SwiftKey beta.

Keyboard
Well this doesn't really help me as I am trying to find out what the root cause for the feature just vanishing entirely and I know a lot of people are having similar issues where it just isnt there anymore. I have been using Wanam myself and I have made several changes and reboots and it doesn't seem to disappear. It is only after a day or so has gone by I notice it just isnt working anymore and low and behold its gone. I like using the stock samsung keyboard for the numbers on the top of the keyboard that seems native to the note series. Not only that but when its there the auto correction seems to be spot on. I realize swiftkey is nice and all and I have a paid version of it but I just dont like that it doenst have the number keys always on top
Beta has a dedicated numbers row.
