I bought a G2 second hand a few months ago and it's served faithfully, but I think by using a belt pouch with a magnetic closure hosed it up - if not, then the timing is one hell of a coincidence as these both started right at about the same time.
First problem - car home keeps popping up. I've been able to disable it, but if the G2 is like many other phones, it uses a magnet to sense whether or not it's in a car dock.
Second problem - speaker phone. The phone defaults to the speaker phone when I place a call or answer one, leaving me to have to turn off the speaker in favor of the earpiece.
It's not ROM specific - I've tried various ROMs in an attempt to remedy but I think the damage is done.
Any thoughts? Am I completely off in left field here?
Edit - 5/17
Issue resolved by performing a SuperWipe and then reinstalling ROM!
I had the same issue. Couldn't figure out how to fix it other than using titanium backup to uninstall car home.

I did a battery pull seems to have fixed the issue.

Well for ****s and giggles I reinstalled car home from titanium no more random car home launches or speaker phone issues. Maybe try a super wipe? then reinstall a new rom?

HUH? What the??? LOL!
Maybe I'll give it a whirl - just for ****s and giggles and all that
Lots of ****s and lots of giggles - it actually worked!
Glad to see that worked! hopefully it stays that way
Go figure - I never would have thought that it would have done anything, but, I was willing to try pretty much anything! I've thanked a couple of your posts to get you up off of zero thanks

Hey guys! lol
-My mytouch slide suddenly has extremely low volume placing/durin a call.
It's so low, I have to put speaker.
-I also have noticed that sometimes i have to press the mute key so i can hear the other person cuz the phone was already muted b4 placing a call.. 0_o ??
This all happened after I did a couple of things.. idk what might have done it..
1) I cleared cache
a) Recovery, clear cache
b)
Code:
su
cd data/dalvik-cache
rm *
exit
2) I upgraded to cyanogen 6.1.1 and it just either wouldnt boot, or would go past the "Google sign-in" screen.
So I did a nandroid re-store to 6.1.0
Anyhow, the volume is ULTRA slow.
How can I fix this??

Yea, but last time Rom manager downloaded it and applied it for me, the phone woulnt boot.. like rarely. It would just sit on the "Tmobile" screen.
Then I got it to work, flashed the google apps and the sign-in screen would tell me "tap the android"
And I did a billion times, but nothing would happen.. he would just light up.

Yeah I'd suggest you call T-Mobile, but perhaps before you do.. you should try flashing to the stock ROM of expresso just to make sure it isn't CM related if you haven't tried that, oh and yeah, I found it much easier to just ask a T-Mobile rep via online chat for a replacement to be send to you, and if they ask you to go in store to get it checked out say that isn't an option due to work.... unless you want to go in store, either way though just try flashing it to the stock expresso ROM before you make a big hassle.

Everyone, we need a team project. I need a bug list for FD02. Can you all please list specific problems that you are having with the rom? Please refrain from listing problems with apps unless the app is a stock part of OS(ie caledar, contacts, music app, you get the point).
For example, if you are having issue with bluetooth please be specific on what the issue is, what hardware you are using, and how to recreate the problem.
If you have a problem that cannot be recreated it will be hard to get fixed. Thanks. You really will be helping.
All bugs need to be confirmed by at least two members so if we could help each other by testing bugs thay would be great.
And can we please refrain from immature useless post. Your post will be deleted and there is a chance you might get a nice vacation. There is a thread already set up for rants.

1 Auto Launch apps when you plug the phone into a DOCK. You can't turn it off. It forces you to pick one.
SO ANNOYING.
2 THE MODEM SUCKs. There is SO much work that needs to be done there. All the software development for ICS should be halted until they get the modem squared away.
THEY NEED TO BEEF UP THE VOLTAGE TO THE CORE AND TO THE RADIO. worry about battery life later, just get it to work first. Most of us can't even get a wifi signal standing 10 feet from a router, or a cell signal.
3 CUT and PASTE Can't cut the entire sentence. It seems that the first letter of every sentence is unselectable as you can't move the carrier over far enough to select it. It seems the touch screen does not sense to the entire edge of the screen. I think the touch screen does not sense that far off the screen, so you can't select the first part of any sentence, if it is all the way over to the edge of the screen. Maybe touch screen or resolution? This happend in portrait and landscape modes both.

I have 2 issues.
One is sometimes when I am typing in the browser when I place the curser in the text field it randomly adds a word. Does anyone know what i am talking about or how to recreate it?
The other is my stereo bluetooth Motorola headphones will randomly pause music without me using my phone or pushing any buttons. I was using the treadmill and it just would pause out of no where.
I am not sure if i was using the stock music player or the Play one. Anyone else experience this issue either?

Your Bluetooth issue is not just you kc..... I have had similar issue forever. I dont think it's a phone or even a Samsung issue, I think its an Android issue.
I've been aggrivatingly dealing with that same problem even when I had my original Evo 4G.
What I have been able to narrow it down to is I get the pauses if I get a text, email, voicemessage, anything that causes the system to tweak or chirp. I've had it happen when switching radio/cell towers. Bluetooth, wired head phones, speakerphone, it don't matter.
It will happen during any audio playback, streaming, or stored. I keep hoping they will fix this annoying bug but until they do I just keep hitting play.

I will venture to say that this bluetooth problem is specific to this phone. I never had problems like this with my EVO. All of these problems started to show up with ICS. The were around when I was using GB but it was not as prevalent. The issue that I have is once it connects, it does not want to reconnect unless I power cycle bluetooth.

i mean honestly these issues are in most sammie devices .. sad that modem/radio/gps issues haven't been completely fixed by now .. some scroll touchscreen lag .. those the same issues since the OGEpic ... i went to the photon and radio is great but pentile sucks so i came back to sammi thinking these small annoyances has been taken care of .. boy i was wrong .. maybe the devs should work for samsung just saying!! ..
For anyone having issues with these builds, I highly suggest completely formatting your phone. This includes your internal storage. I kept having many of the issues listed above until i finally cleared every thing off my phone. Now every thing runs flawlessly, including chrome.

Only bugs I've noticed are:
Apps sometimes lag when tapping the icon to open.
Bluetooth was flawless for me on stock GB. Works fine on FD02 but my Kensington car kit has minor issues. Mainly, the remote will only control Google Play Music and won't play or pause other apps like PocketCasts or radio apps. It controlled those on GB. Minor but I miss it.
Otherwise, so far so good.

Hi guys, I have a strange problem and I couldn't find any Qs and As to it in the forum so I thought I'd post it up and see if someone can help me figure this problem out.
I was running EliteMod and out of nowhere this problem arose.
Whenever I put in my headset the phone would become unresponsive/frozen, and on the odd occasion it would work, but after a few minutes would randomly restart.
I thought it may have been the rom so I flashed another.
I'm now running Cyanogenmod 9 ICS beta 10 and the problem is still apparent.
I'm at a loss of what it could be.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
Edit:
I should add that when I reflashed Cyanogenmod 9, I put the headphones right at the start when setting up a fresh google account on startup, still the same result. Which is why it has me so confused. It came up at random, and a fresh flash won't get rid of it.

I had this same problem for two different reasons with two different phones.
The first time, which seems unlikely for you, was a problem with DSP Manager that comes with CM9 causing my phone to crash and restart.
The second is manufacturer error. The phone has a titanium case, and due to some errors in assembly, when I would plug in headphones, the system would freeze and restart. Because I still had warranty, I had it replaced and the problem disappeared.
If you have a multimeter there are ways to check for a short, but I'm not sure if you are familiar with this.
Hope this helps!
Ahh I see.
I guess that would make the most sense... a hardware fault.
I'm out of warranty so I guess no more music via this phone.
Thanks for the advice

If you still want to try and find a solution, get some electrical tape (or another strong insulating tape) and cut off a thin strip lengthwise (about 0.8-1cm width x 3-4 cm length) and tape it to the top of the headphone plug on your headphones so that it blocks any contact with the titanium.

I use a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a Bluetooth-enabled car radio. But alas, if you care a lot about your sound quality, then Bluetooth certainly is *not* the way to go.
But if you care that much about audio quality, you would have a dedicated device which uses all it's processing power for playback, right?
Hey everyone!
So I flashed to Hyper Drive 15 about a week ago. I noticed if something is plugged into the headphone jack any Bluetooth audio OR speaker phone will not work on my end until the headphone jack is clear.
This happens with headphones and an aux cable.
Has anyone running this Rom noticed this? If you are running it could you try to duplicate it?
I really need this to work I have a bunch of conference calls during the week in my car...
Any fixes or suggestions would be appreciated.
Also WHAT ROM DO YOU THINK WORKS THE BEST? I like having the multi window, that is the only reason I switched, but I feel like cm10.2 ran better with battery life and it never had this odd bug....
Thanks!
Never got that. I did get activation screens that never went away unless I hit home button with just about every boot. That made me to move on to another ROM. The only thing about hyperdrive that I digged was the s4 weather widget. Try De-Tmobilized and see if that floats your boat.

Yeah I hate that activation screen... Ok well I'll prob move on to another ROM soon...this one seems nice but almost unfinished...the "report a bug"link doesn't even work!

I browse xda alot and stumbled up on many weird issues.
Maybe this thread could be an advise-thread like "don't use your Gnex with a Netgear N Wifi AP"
If there is no interest in this thread, just let it die
This is not a thread related to a specific ROM. More for flashaholic people like me who encounter little issues that occur on many different ROMs.
I will list my issues so you get an idea why I started this thread:
- If I connect my Gnex to the charger and use it, almost every time PIE will break and I cant navigate anymore (AOSP-PIE) - I have to reboot my phone.
- If I connect my Gnex to my schools WiFi (CISCO Hardware) I have constant data-download activity and my battery drains in no time
- Sometimes if I connect my Gnex to the charger it behaves like it gets plugged in and out very frequently
- At home, connected to my WiFi (Netgear Router) I have to constantly wake my Gnex to receive new messages (Whatsapp, Mail, etc.)
Maybe we can help each other with tips?
- cheers

I have not faced any of these issues. Been changing ROMs ever since the day I bought the phone (A year and a half back).
That charging issue alone cropped up once. But I was able to fix it by pushing the pin in the charging port up by a bit using a safety pin
1. My volume down is busted. Pressing it on normal mode, nothing happens. In Safe Mode, it works though I have to press real hard. Due to this, cant do screenshots anymore.
2. I can connect this gnex to my computer fine but the phone does not detect the charge.
3. Much much more wakelocks when using original battery compared to a china branded replacement battery

well, that's interesting! I'm planning a replacement because my phone is two years old and so is the battery.
While using certain kernels with Trickster Mod and "set on boot" option, I get a reboot if the screen is off when Trickster applies it's settings. Took me a long time to figure this out. If the screen is on when Trickster applies kernel settings it works just fine. Never could figure out why this happens, but I use tasker to keep the screen on for 2 minutes after boot to prevent it.
