Harder to swipe windows in Jelly Bean? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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?

I'm glad it's not just me. How do I change the sensitivity? I don't see any such option.

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

Yeah, that's what I've had to do. I know that most of the AOSP roms (cyanogenmod etc) have touch sensitivity adjustment but nothing touchwiz based on 4.1.2 have I seen with that option

ICS Power Off/Reboot and Portable Hotspot Fixes

I by no means take credit for these but I can confirm they are working for me. I got these from the Skyrocket forums:
To fix the power off/reboot freeze issue do the following:
Make a CWM Nandroid backup of the ICS ROM. Then do a restore of the backup you just made without wiping anything. Reboot and test it out. It worked perfect for me.
Not sure why it works but it must have something to do with the restore scripts being used. They must somehow correct the power off/reboot issue.
To fix the portable hotspot issue do the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24134762&postcount=25
This has been tested by me and it works like a charm.

Unfortunately I think the auto-rotate issue is kernel related so we have to wait for a specific kernel for our phones. I downloaded an app from the market "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" and it seems to work pretty well.
ok thanks will try it right now and I leave at 6 am for my job and I have much time for that lolll
That app doesn't help. Still rotates into landscape when I'm in a portrait mode.

dude, as you can clearly tell from the rest of this forum, no one has a fix for it yet. be patient. besides, the OP isn't trying to address the auto rotate problem in the first place..

Told me tethering is not supported ???
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
so im using Ravers blackedition rc3, with the ICS theme designed for rc2.
originally, rc3 had the shutdown/restart thing fixed, but flashing the theme broke it.
i tried your method but no luck for me.
im sure this still probably can work for those not using any themes tho
Yea what ROM are you running cause I tried both fixes and no luck
Samsung galaxy s2 almost ics lol
i am trying your method to get tethering to work...i followed your instructions and everything was good up until setting it up...i got to the skyrocket connected part...but when i hit my menu button nothing happens...i dont get the menu to set the SSID and pw
my laptop can pick up the skyrocket signal but it asks for a pw...and i dont know what it is since i didnt set one
edit: found your original thread and read the comments from another user...you have to tap on the word hotspot and then go into that page and then hit menu to configure...thanks!

I've never actually used it so I don't know how well it works...I'm going to try it now. Maybe it isn't recognizing your voice.
EDIT: Didn't work for me. Maybe it is broken in Blazer (I'm running Blazer 1.7) or it didn't work that good to begin with.
On blazer as well. Reject seems to work and answer works too.

voice issue

well i've tried cm10.aokp and miui. and seems i cant record anything using either the stock app or a download and if i do manage to its seems its really low or has a bunch of static. also in arket when i try to search for an app using my voice it just acts as if i didnt say anything or its not receiving what im saying if anything at all. i was wondering if this is just me or can anyone else confirm this. i had one other person confirm this on miui but on aokp and cm10 they just say those bugs were fixed weeks ago. any help is greatly appreciated
nvm it seems i have to put my face right next to the top mic like literally and scream at it on those roms for it to pick up anything. which is odd because stock does at a normal distance >.>

I know you guys are looking for ways to eliminate flickering on cm9 but the cm10 flickering issue has many different solutions. I am quite sure they can be attempted on cm9 as well. First off though I think you guys should list what you have done to remedy the situation so people just don't inform you of what you already tried.

That's the thing.. its an issue with cm9 itself. I've tried disabling gpu rendering, flashing that useless gpu mod, fully wiping with both trwp and cwm6 touch.. not sure what else I can do.

Interesting... I just flashed cm9 9-30 nightly last night and i don't experience this screen flickering, or at least i'm not noticing it if it's happening.
I'm using sk8's cwm6.0.1.4 and I just followed the instructions on TC's webpage. And I just came from erick's cm10 9-28 nightly. Don't know if this'll help, but that's what I did and I don't see any screen flickering. What's the best way to reproduce this issue? I can try and report back if I see it or not.

Go into your settings, pull your notifications down half way then swipe them back up. The screen should flicker black.

Yup, I'm also seeing a small flicker as well. I couldn't get it reproduced every time, but if I played around with the notification pull down about half way and then swiped them back up, the screen does flicker black.
Is it only from settings that you see this? I tried from my home screen, and I didn't see any flicker.
EDIT: If I go only 1/3 of 1/4 of the way with the pull down in Settings, I can reproduce the flicker every time I believe.

It happens in all apps except the homescreen. For me, it does not matter if you pull it 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/2 or all the way down... the chance of it flickering when you drag it back up is about 20%
edit: I have the 9/30/12 nightly build installed. The flickering is not an issue for me and I use this ROM as my daily driver.
Same here. it appears randomly for me. i see no trend. also at times my data stays on E. but overall i love it.

Try adjusting the build.prop entry below:

change it to ->

Screen rotation is reversed. Need help

This may sound wired but it's true, when I rotate my phone to play any games or anything else the screen always rotates the opposite way it was turned so that my screen is always upside down unless in portrait mode and is quite annoying.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you flash a custom kernel not made for your phone (Verizon,T-Mobile,etc)? This is the only time I have heard of this problem.
