Hi everybody,
I have an annoying problem using roms based on Android 4.1.2 . I've tried codefireX and Jellytime. The same behavior has been noticed on both roms : there are main vertical thin stripes on the screen, falling from top to bottom, as if pixels were streaming. Most of stripes are visible on left and right parts of the screen, almost not in the middle. When I take a screenshot, problem is absolutely invisible. It can only be viewed on the touch screen directly.
When I tap on the sides of the phone, I have the impression that the stripes are lightly blinking or sparkling.
When I rotate the phone, stripes are not rotating. They still are going from the true top of the phone to the bottom.
And finaly, when I reinstall another rom, based on Android 4.0.4 (with or without Sense, suchas IceColdSandwich or ViperDHD), the stripes disappear.
Does anyone know anything about that ? or even heared something like that ?
Thanx a lot in advance,
Tom.
(sorry for my poor english )

Yes i have noticed that too. It seems to be a kernel issue not compatible with the phone. Forinstance if you flash lets say any 3.0.xx kernel onto icecoldICS rom you will get the lines just as in JB rom. Read that someone is trying to fix it so just keep your fingers x:crying:

Hello,
thanks for your answer.
If it could be a kernel issue, why am I feeling so alone ?

You are not alone. In JellyTime's issue tracker there is an open issue. Until now nothing changed. And with the new 4.2 release I wonder if JellyTime will get any stable updates in the near future. But that's the only place I found where the bug is reported. Is there an official codefireX bugtracker?

Even with HW overlays of u will still get the line. Even 4.2 has vertical lines bug! As said before its a bug which was introduced aftre 3.1 realise thus after 16th August. If u flash an older rom lets say rom builds before the 16th of August the bug is not present. I strongly doubt if the bug will b fixed cause it seems to afect only a few users and am one of them. I wander why RB pr synergy dont want to fix it
I know synergye was working on it and asking for logcats. I don't think he doesn't want to fix it. He might just not know how, since his device doesn't have the bug, and needs more info (like logcats).

About 1 week ago I noticed I have a dark circle on the left side of the screen. I don't know what to do, should I just send it back on warranty? Or it might be something wrong with my new MIUI?
Don't be a noob and post that picture somewhere where you don't have to register.
2. It definitely won't be a software problem.

Edited, additionaly I saw people with SGS2 having same problem with such circle.
Strange... Which MIUI? I am using MIUI XJ (the latest) and do not have that circle.
I am using 1.11.11 but I don't think that this is about a software.. I haven't see this circle before or I don't remember it but really I don't think that this is about a software
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Is there anyone else with such problem?
I saw something like this before, you just must've pressed on your screen too hard, or had a coin in your pocket with the phone and sat on it, something like that.. basically it's your screen that's damaged, and don't know whether HTC would cover it or not.
First of all my appologies if this is in the wrong section...... As I don't have enough posts I can't ask the Dev's directly or even post in their threads....
I have a rooted and S-off unbranded htc desire. I flashed the LeeDroid HD port and everything was cool. Since then Ive gone on to Revolution 3D v1.5 again no problems at all.
The issue is with the camera, it wont work at all. this happened when i flashed Revolution v3 xmas edition. To be fair to Tamirda he's got a link labelled "camera fix" i flashed this and still no camera
Thinking this has got something to do with the kernel (as that was the only difference I could see after installing the camera fix) I've tried various other kernels but still no joy.
Since then I have tried re-flashing ALL of the Revolution roms (completing a full wipe incl sd/ext, dalvik etc) all work great but I still have no camera, Ive flashed RCMixS v2.0, still no camera and I've just this minute completed a FULL wipe and Nandroid restore that I created on the 26/12/2011, the day after flashing for the first time (LeeDroid HD port) when all was good, but STILL no camera
Any help or suggestions or even just a nod in the right direction would be MASSIVELY apreiciated as Ive been trying to solve this now for a few weeks
I've now re-flashed RCMixS v2.0 and I still cant use the camera.......
Heres all my phones current info:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC sense version: 2.1

Thanks again in advance, Tom.
Just to clarify.... when the camera/camcorder icons are pressed, sometimes the screen blacks out and the only response you get is by pressing the 'home' key exiting the application while other times the white camera logo comes onto the center of the screen but instantly disaperes and closes the app.
Ive also tried non htc camera apps purchesed from the market like 'pro capture' this took ONE photo and never worked again, when you try to use it it simply says 'cannot access camera'. I also have tried all other ways to access the camera like attach photo to mms and choosing camera instead of gallery and it still doesnt work.....
Don't know the answer, sorry
Please can you make the thread title more specific? "no camera since xxxxx"
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Hi, thanks for the 'heads up' .. Ive changed the title to better suit the thread. I'm sure I'm over looking something, just can't think of anything else to try....
This is odd. To me, this seems to be some sort of a hardware issue. If i were you, i'd flash a stock 2.2 RUU and see if that fixes the camera issue. If it doesn't, then i'm afraid it's off to a repair center for you, my friend.
Three things:
- Maybe the recovery didn't properly wipe the partitions (happens sometimes) and some system files got fubared. Try wiping each partition 2-3 times before installing ROM/back-up and see if that fixes it;
- Open the back cover and GENTLY nudge the camera's "lens" with a cotton swab (the ones used for cleaning your ears). Maybe it's stuck (it should "float" - for focusing reasons) and the camera is reporting some sort of an error because of that and refuses to work;
- Please post a dmesg for the camera, if possible.
Mind you, you're not the only one with this issue. Check out this thread.
Ok cool, thankyou that gives me something to work with
Yeah Ive read some posts where people are saying that roms which use sense hybrids can cause this issue but none that Ive read seem to go much further than that. Tbh Im hoping it is jus a case of a bad wipe/install thats been made worse by several re flash / full wipe attempts....... Fingers crossed eh!
Will check out the link before I go any further and will post what happens next.
Thanks again, Tom
Ok, not great news but I know whats wrong with it....... Big thanks to TVTV for the link as thats where I found the answer.
Its a hardware problem having being dropped on its face a couple of times (DOH!) the floating lense doesnt float any more causing the ap to force close or sometimes stay on black screen. Gently tapping on the lense brought it back to life, briefly, but that'll be because its damaged and not software....... so yeah off to the shops I go
Thanks again TVTV
You're welcome!
Just a quick note...
Anybody who has this issue, with the same symptoms, can temporarily get there camera working again.
Take the battery cover off and have a look at the camera lense, you will see that there is a small , square piece of glass sitting on a slightly larger metal square frame. You need to GENTLY ease that metal frame away from the phone. On my handset the frame is joined at the top right corner, I used this join to hook the corner of my thumb nail under and lift it up by a FRACTION OF A MILIMETER MAX!
A good way to see if this is working is to start by pressing the camera icon untill it blacks out the screen, if you get somebody to watch the screen, or use a mirror, you will see the screen come back to life showing you all the on screen camera options and the image of what ever the camera is looking at as you GENTLY and ONLY SLIGHTLY pry the frame away from the phone.
It took me a night of fiddling with it using this method and so far I've been able to use my camera without faults..... Good job really as for now this has saved me a trip to the HTC service center, with no warranty
Before you try this though you MUST be incredibly carefull whilst moving this frame that holds the lense. You must NOT attempt to do this by touching the lense itself (small square shapped piece of glass) as this will more than likely break it, then its off to HTC which will cost a fortune if like me you've allready voided your warranty so BE CAREFULL!!
Hope this helps
Solved here also
Hi everybody,
I know this is old discussion, but I just wanted to confirm that I had a same problem with camera and flashlight not working, and with a half of hour dismantling I realized it was problem with the cable connection.
Gentle push, and everything is fine again!
Thanks for advice!
Hold the off button then press reset it worked on my HTC desire
Since recently im starting to notice visible ghosting, or trailing if you will, on my screen while slowly scrolling through text on websites... is this normal?
Whenever I browse forums and such while zoomed in, I can clearly see text trailing or ghosting while scrolling slowly (I can even notice it writing this). Text just clearly leaves a trail like its not refreshing fast enough. I have mostly tried this in Chrome but also apps like IMDB and so have it. Is this normal behaviour? It seems very weird for such an high-tech screen since my old iPhone 4 doesnt show this whatsoever.
Do you guys notice this as well? Its bothering me a bit actually..

Sorry for the late reply mate, been a very busy week, try flashing a different custom rom like Wannam (I am currently using this rom) or go back to stock, do a nandroid back up, flash the new rom or the stock rom, and see if the issue persists, if it does then you can make sure its not the rom, and you can either restore the back up or keep it at stock and RMA the handset, keep us posted
I only just recently got my Note II and it has got ARHD on it, which I installed because it's a rom based on samsung software with no comptability issues and great battery life.
I also have a Galaxy Nexus and I noticed a few "problems" the Note 2 has and the older Nexus doesn't:
the browser on the Note 2 looks okay but the pointer precision is just very bad. To give an example: if you swipe your finger up or down vertically for a few centimeters, and then you start sliding diagonally (without having lifted off your finger off the screen in the meanwhile), it will only continue to keep scrolling vertically, it won't "follow" your left or right (or diagonal) movement. When you lift off your finger from the screen, retouch it and then scroll diagonal right away it will follow the movement. I find this very annoying, it prevents me of having a smooth browsing experience. My older Nexus with stock android 4.2.2 and stock browser is smooth as butter and follows my swiping movements 1 to 1..
I tested Dolphin browser, Maxthon.. all still bad pointer precision.. Chrome seems to be the least bad of all the browsers, but then on the other hand I find it very choppy.
PS. I already tried an AOSP/CM rom (Sentinel ROM), and there the browser was smooth, yet, non-touchwiz roms are not bugfree and the battery life is nowhere as good as with a samsung based rom.. And especially that last factor is really important to me. (Unless anyone can advise me a bugfree AOSP rom with batterylife that is as good as a samsung based rom).
SOLVED, SOLUTION IN POST #15
Then something else that annoys me quite a bit: when the screen is off and I press the wakebutton, it takes like 1 to 2 seconds until it actually wakes.. I've read I'm not the only one with this problem but I find it kind of unacceptable for a quad core phone with 2GB of ram.. Same problem when you are in an application and you press the homebutton to go to the homescreen, it sometimes takes like a second or more too.. Once again, stuff like that on my simple dual core nexus with half the amount of ram doesn't happen.
UNDERLINED PART SOLVED, SOLUTION IN POST #3 (thanks Kremata)
Then the good stuff has to be said too: homescreen-scrolling is insanely smooth, watching videos is awesome, the camera is great (so is the samsung camera app) and not to forget, the battery life is a revelation to me, I get through the day easily with hardcore use of the phone (that cannot be said of my old Nexus..).
I really like the Note II, but these few problems really crash the party for me.. Also I never thought I'd say it as a Nexus-fan but I generally find Touchwiz pretty cool and suiting on the Note 2.. So I'd prefer to stay on a samsung based rom like ARHD if possible.
Hope there's some experts here who can give me advise on how to handle these little problems.
For the record, I managed installing the AOSP browser, and the bug is still there. So it must be rom/kernel related, not app-related..
The HOME button problem is not a bug. It is because you have set your S-voice to open by double pressing the Home button. So the lag comes from TW waiting for a second press before doing anything.
Just uncheck "Open via the Home Key" in S-voice setting.
For the browser thing I don't know. I never felt it was a problem for me.

One problem solved already, thanks for that!
I placed a video of the pointing precision problem on youtube. Btw I checked if the touchscreen is ok by using "show touches", and it followed my touches 100% perfectly, so it's not the phone, it's definitely some software problem..
This is the video
Could anyone with a samsung-based rom try to reproduce the above problem and see if it happens or not ? If not, could you tell me what rom + kernel you are using, would be much appreciated..
I repeat that when I tried an AOSP rom on my Note II, this issue did not happen.
I'm on DLL4 and before this was on 4.1.1 and do not have this issue.

I have the exact same thing on my phone (ARHDv18). A work around is to start with a diagonal instead of a vertical line then it works fine

Yes I know.. but it's very annoying.. Since years I used stock android/AOSP, now I went to the dark side P) to use a TW device, so this "problem" kind of annoys me.. I wonder if one of our awesome developers would be able to make a samsung based TW rom with an AOSP-like smooth browsing experience..

I just realized this problem. I'm using Crash ROM, and sometimes it will happen like in the video, but sometimes it work perfectly.
So weird that I seem to be the first one remarking this problem as imo it's quite annoying, and I'm definitely not alone here.

You don't forget the good stuff of stock android! But the samsung rom has some pretty cool features too..
HOORAY.
With "Chrome Beta" the swiping "bug" is not present! /me happy
Now my Note 2 is "perfect"
Hi,
I am thinking about changing from CM11 (which still has some weeknesses) to Pandroid (version for 'marvel' (HTC Wildfire S).
So this is what I found at the actual version which I cannot explain myself:
1.) I cannot find an option to set the lock screen options (currently I have only ONE choice to unlock by dragging)
2.) Pandroid crashes after about 20 sec. when getting the storage statistics (Options -> Storage). I run script INT2EXT+ (as Wildfire has too few internal storage)
3.) Videos (crash of app) and audio files (cannot be found) cannot be played back at all. Pictures are fine!
The remaining features seem to work fine completly so far.
As I doubt that the development has overlocked those 3 obvious problems please inform me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks so much for your help!
Since we don't officially support that device your questions would be best answered in your maintainer's ROM thread here on xda, in your device forum. The only thing I can answer on is 1. We do not offer 'lock screen options' as you call it
#stayparanoid
thanks for your quick answer!!
I know but there is no Paranoid thread on Wildfire S's side also (although there exist Parnoid ROMs for marvel).
So where do I have to adress my questions then?...
Thank you for answer of question 1. It sounds strange as the lock symbol is on the right side of the hot spot to touch.
So it seems as if there MUST be placed other icons around it at top and left side as well!... Very strange.
Any reason why this nice feature is not supported at Pandroid?...

No idea about where to direct your questions but somebody has to be maintaining your device or you wouldn't see a build at all.
As for the lock screen, that is aosp behavior. We simply didn't want to change it. People have this notion that every ROM must be the same. We disagree.
