Screen Tearing - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Guys,
I flashed Cow Rom on to my phone. everything was working fine except for that screen tear issue. I couldnt enable V-sync, and there was support on what to do, only thing i could find was to edit the buildprop, but that didnt solve anything.
so i flashed another rom, blacknotes, and the problem is still there. i then did a factory wipe, formay system, format cache, and flashed a stock firmware to the phone, and the problem is still there. hwo can this be? how do i stop the screen tearing? it only appears when im in the application or menu or settings screen, normally black background. when im at the launcher screens there isnt any screen tearing

Nobody??? Wow the level of support on this side is ....,.......

this is no support hotline!
you can kindly ask, but when nobody answers, please don't be unpolite.
this is a forum!

Im not trying to be rude. Im just suprise that nobody has any suggestions at all on what i can possibly do. Ive asked in the several places and so far one guy is helping. But he suggested what i have already read in the forum from searches i have done.
There are developers here...quite a giod number...but no help. In the other groups with less users and developers. people at least try.
Im just speechless.im not making any personal attacks on anyone. So just take a chill pill

UPDATE: 5/24/2012
Won't be doing any work on this for a while. Phone got run over and can't afford a new one right now. Using my SGS4G as a backup until I can get a good price on an s2 or possibly a new S3.
UPDATE 4/5/2012
Good News is I got my phone back from JTAG repair... BAD NEWS is they messed up my usb port. Phone boots and all but I have no way to charge it.. When I plug it in it flashes a warning saying Battery is too hot or too cold, charging has been canceled. Was able to get in download mode and did a wipe to see if maybe it was a firmware issue but it did not help. Went back to download mode to see if I could flash a new boot.img and get this error:
Claiming interface... Failed. Attempting to detach driver...
Claiming interface again... Success
Setting up interface... Success
Beginning session...
Failed to initialise usb communication!
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Now my battery is completely dead so I can't try anything until I can get an external charger if they make one... will update as I can
UPDATE 3-28-12 5:24 p.m. est
For those of you who keep sending me PM's asking to test...
Go to the thread in the Development forum and download it. The Thread was closed but links are still active.
UPDATE #2 3-28-12
I won't be able to work on this for a few days.
Bricked my phone working on a different kernel and modem.
Will send it out for jtag repair and have it back sometime next week hopefully...
Guess I will jump back to the sgs4g forum and work there for a few days.. Have that phone with unbrickable mod...
If anyone knows if unbrickable mod is available for this phone let me know.
I Have no problem tearing it apart and performing the mod.
Update 4/1/12 Turning down in call volume will cut down on in call echo.
Thanks
I would like to apologize in advance for not asking my QA inside of the QA section.
On a side note i was having data issues and I flashed cache and reenterd my APN settings manually and it fixed it
good to hear

You need to flash the superuser zip again in CWM. So long as the thread didn't get deleted in Development, look at the 3rd post, you should find a link there.

I actually had the same question too but no one answered..I ended up restoring my NAND backup of a 2.3.6 ROM, manually forcing it to go to WCDMA only, then re-flashing ICS, which effectively saved the settings. For some reason lol
is there a crt off option anywhere? it's the only thing missing (besides the autorotate, everything else works for me).
Is there a way to get the keyboard to go landscape without auto rotate?

Also having an issue with the gallery. The gallery works fine and I can view the pics, but trying to set a picture as the lockscreen background causes the gallery to freeze and screen to turn black and unresponsive. the capacitive buttons light up, and when I hit the power button it says unfortunately gallery has stopped. I've cleared data/cache, any one else able to reproduce this bug?

bug i found in DARKSIDE.UCLE2 beta 06

so...i just installed new beta 06 of Darkside...i really liked the new tw app drawer but i found a bug....theres no calender widget...like they used to have and the bug i found is...when adding agenda 4*4 to the screen touchwiz force close....then restarts...now the problem is...whenever u scroll back to the screen u tried to put that widget...touchwiz stops ( force closes). i did fix permissions....flashed darside.cache.wipe. but it just doesnt go...so i had to reflash the rom thinking it might be a bad download....but its the same case again. so now,..i am flashing the rom for third time and gonna use third party calender widget.
hope he fixes it soon.
update: ...so, altogether i flashed this ROM 4/5 times and NO...the FC doesnt go if u restart the phone. CONFIRMED. touchwiz home force close all the time.
I also found that I can't add a wallpaper from the home screen. I need to go to settings to do it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Yup, something is wrong with the calendar.
Work around is to freeze it and use alternative.
Otherwise it will keep foreclosing every time you go to that screen.

Ok. Sorry. I didnt know that. Its related to new tw Galaxy 3 launcher. It looks pretty nice but im having similar problems. Hopefully you can find a fix rebooting as dereck said. However i think we still could find some fc related to this tw launcher...i read a couple threads about other roms using this launcher with similar issues. Also setting up lockscreen.

Harder to swipe windows in Jelly Bean?

I tried searching for others with the same problem but couldn't find anything. Does anyone else seem to find that you have to swipe farther along the screen to get to the next screen? for example I need to swipe about 1/2 the screen length to get to the next page, where before I could just do a quick flick to go to the next page. I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something, but it's kind of annoying.
I think you can just change your sensitivity on your screen, btw what ROM and what version of it are you running?

Thats why drunk asked "what ROM and what version of it are you running?". You wouldn't call Auto Zone and ask how to change a fuse without telling them what kind of car you were driving would you? The more info someone gives, the easier it is to help with the issue at hand.

Oh so sorry about that. I was looking at the browser in my phone and must have missed his post completely. I'm using
[ROM] [Team ScarLick] [Deodexed] [GB27 TW] Touched By SGSIV V 1.2 updated 4/4
I never noticed the problem in gingerbread. I haven't tried any other JB roms. This is my first.
I just came from that rom to jellyverse so I know the layout of the rom and I don't believe there is an option to adjust touch sensitivity. If I'm wrong someone correct me but I don't think that rom has the option to do so. You just gotta get used to it, it's not that big of an issue that the rom is unbearable (at least it wasn't for me). There have been issues in other rooms where I simply couldn't stand the rom because of a single issue but that wasn't a huge issue for me...like I said just gotta get used to it

I did ask for help and not complaints.
Other than that this is by far not my first time loading roms, I think after the 20th or 30th time I would say I know what im doing. So again save your ignorance for yourself.

Only a few problems here!
I've been using Wicked since ICS days with very few problems. Had an issue with Bluetooth that was resolved by wiping and reflashing the ROM back on ICS.
Since switching to Jelly Bean, about the only issue I've had is S Beam and/or Wi-Fi Direct connection/file sharing. In the two cases I've had, a dirty flash has fixed the problem.
Other than that, the ROM has been great for me!
Good Luck!

Are you restoring data or any backups?
Have you searched in or asked in the rom thread to see if its a common or known issue?
I think someone else had a similar problem. (Isnt lmt related to some app called pie?) If so uninstall and reinstall the app.
Otherwise, try clearing data for lmt and force stop. Then reboot and see if it still acts up.

I'm personally glad you started this thread. Because of my low post count, I can't post in that forum.
I've only been using this rom for a couple days and I love it. The only problem I've had was that I can't seem to get the Awsome Beats to do anything. Changing the settings doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference in sound quality. I know it's not a big deal but I think it would be a cool thing to have since I use my phone to listen to music almost as much as I use it to communicate.
I'll admit that I didn't read through the 1000+ pages but I did do a search of the thread and didn't come up with anything.
Oh, I'm using the stock Samsung music player, Songbird and Pandora to listen to music.
Stock kernal as well.

Clear notifications button is gone

The button disappears when I put my phone on landscape then back to portrait, it's really similar to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099524 but with the difference that it only happens with I use a CM10 theme, with the default System one, this issue doesn't happen. Also, the other thing that the previous thread says, the am/pm thing, I have always used my phone on 24h format so, that's not my case.
