EK02 Bug Thread

Well no one has made one yet, so I'll do the honors.
I have seen a decrease is signal strength, but I have noticed better data speeds. I never had the LoS issue before, so I can't tell if this fixed it or not.
Source for EK02 still hasn't been released yet...
Also just a heads up Sprint updated Swype to the latest version in this update as well.

Sound bug is still there. I can't comment on LOS until I am running the new radio (currently on EG31).

What is the "Sound Bug?" And I also noticed that Samsung added arrows to the lockscreen.

Bug where some games and most emulators will randomly crash, usually within minutes.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17623
This only seems to be an issue with the ET4g. Besides that I haven't noticed any other issues.

Can someone please test the headset control for music?

I was wondering the same thing until someone posted a link yesterday. Is it isolated to games because I thought the sound bug was how loud it got from 1 step below max to full volume. Lol

I tested with two headsets.
My Samsung earbuds (came with Moment) don't have any control.
My Klipsch (S2m) earbuds have two controls. Short press opens contacts, while long press opens Voice Talk.
I haven't tested it to answer or end calls.

No. I tried with the Samsung (stock) music app and the Google Music app. No luck. Screen is turned on if off, but nothing is changed.
ATM, the headphone button doesn't have any control over music.

Does anyone else have a problem when opening the app drawer, zooming out, then selecting a page only to bring you back to the home screen?

I have this bug also. My lockscreen seems to have disappeared as well, but only on a critically low battery. Not sure if that is behavior or not since I have only had the phone for a day.

I don't have an option to set the lock period. I'm on the stock ROM and unrooted.
The EK02 update has seemed to fix the touchscreen acting crazy while charging, but I'm not entirely sure about it.

this is NOT a bug, but do not want to start a new thread.

Stop screen from lighting up with every text?

My screen lights up every time i get a text for like 5 seconds. I use 20,000 texts a month. I don't want it to do it since it wastes battery and this phone has a notification LED. Is there a setting I can turn this off? Thanks in advance!

I searched everywhere and called Samsung. There is no way to stop this. I downloaded GO SMS and it works great with that. It's stupid that Samsung wouldn't think anyone might want to change this setting and build it in without forcing you to go third party.

I'm not sure if you mean the LED Indicator(the circle light that lights up by earpiece)?
Settings - Display - LED Indicator

I have this issue as well. The screen comes on when you get a text and is very annoying

Unless they have updated recently, I don't think that GO SMS is compatible with the smart notifications and direct calling.

Try Handcent. They have a lot of notification options.

You can turn off notifications in the sms app and use sms popup from the market.

I am VERY happy to say that I am in the same boat as this person. My screen does not turn on by its self when I receive a text. It did on my Note I and it pissed me the hell off. I'm not sure why this is happening to some people and not others, but I am glad I am one of the fortunate ones. Funny, as I'm typing this, I just received another text and my notification alert came on but my screen stayed off.

Ok I got a modded SecMms.apk, I need someone to test so if you want to send me a PM and I will upload you the flashable zip to try before I realease it thanks

Search for "Screen On" on Google Play. Free app, no ads. Tick the stock Internet browser and enable the service within the app (disable the annoying icon in the notifications bar within the settings). Voila, issue resolved.

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?

Sooo my g pro comes this saturday and i was wondering if there were any tips or tricks you guys had?

[Q] What have you noticed that has changed in T-Mobiles KitKat?

Things that I'm curious about right off are:
1. What color is the dialer? Is it still white or have they changed that to dark?
2. In the "Internet" app (not chrome) can you "Open page in background"?
and bonus
Have you experienced any problems with files (moving, naming, editing, accessing, coping info back and forth from interral to external, ect...) on the MicroSD card through a downloaded file explorer app (ie ES File Explorer)?

Hangouts now uses the emoji from the Samsung keyboard instead of Google emoji. Kind of annoying.

Same thing, internet seems to be the same, no difference.
Most of the notifications are white, kinda liked the green battery.

The font in notifications is different
Can't find much else
I was hoping to see a fix for the messaging app. When backing out of a text message it can take up to 5 seconds to go back into your message list. It's really annoying.
Checked- still does the same thing. I can't believe a 3rd party app can do this better. Unbelievable.

I noticed the reception is better now:laugh: No seriously what with the full bars!! I always have full bars even when I know im in an area where is barely reception. and Yes the dbm meter is displays the correct reading but the bars are way off. I tried with the international Kitkat rom and I got the same result. Looks like its a kitkat thing across the board. Kinda reminds me of AT&T and Apple saga over the inaccurate iphone reception meter.
