there is a separate section for the MT3G Slide

Ohk, sorry,
Can a mod please move this to the correct section, and/or can somebody help me with this?
Thanks again in advanced!!

Moving to Slide.

Sounds like hardware issues (maybe with the ribbon cable from the top screen to the bottom keyboard).
Call tmobile and get it replaced, it's still under warranty (unless your water stickers are pink).

It could be that, or it could be a simple software issue. He could try rooting the phone and flashing cm6 or cr_mod or something, it could be system file corruption, but I guess if he's unrooted and under warranty why not just get it replaced, it'd be less work

I think its more software than hardware.. here's the thing. I bought it from some guy from craigslist.. it DID work but a while after it started doing this.. I'm using a g2 on a family plan.. ccan I still call tmobile n tell em my phone isn't working and will they send me a new one even though I did not buy it from them?

Doubtful since you didn't buy the phone from them. If you want to remain stock, I would root and then flash the slide stock nandroid backup (there's a thread with the file, just type that in the search bar). That *should* fix it if it's a software issue.
*After flashing the stock nandroid backup you'll be unrooted again. It will be like it was the first time it was booted.

[Q] adw launcher redraw

I started using adw launcher ex and widgetlocker last night (good thing I couldn't sleep ) and am loving them to bits and pieces. one thing, though...
the home screen redraw thing is starting to get on my nerves. it's not so bad when using the home key to jump to the home screen, since I back out using the back key (close the app, save the ram), but even if I let it sleep long enough, it'll lag on redraw when I unlock it -_-
I've seen a fix on the internet that looks tempting but it requires that i root my phone; call me a coward, but my ill-experiences with this sort of thing have left me with no intention of doing so in the near future. any other solutions?

hellloooooo?

Well, I have this problem too sometimes. A reboot could help, and it just disappears for me after a while...
Then again, if it doesn't work and you want to root your phone, you could always post here. I'm sure you'll be helped quickly.
One last thing: Do you have a link to the video? Might be helpful later on

for now, disabling and uninstalling widget locker () has solved the problem. but then, the problem practically wasn't there when i first installed, so i wouldn't consider this case closed just yet
and i know i'll find help with rooting at xda, it's just that if i can brick my phone simply updating the firmware, who knows what i'll do while rooting? plus, there's still 2 months in my warranty, so if i ever decide to root, i'll let the warranty run out first
as for the fix, it wasn't really a video. search the forum (not the samsung galaxy s one) and you'll find it. but in any case, i have the link right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932820
if you've rooted your phone, this fix is apparently guaranteed to fix (lol) the problem, which is why it's so tempting

How did you try to upgrade your phone? Because, when I tried to do it with KIES, I bricked it too. Now, with ODIN, I don't worry about that anymore, once you know, it's easy.
Anyhow, thanks for the link.

flashing; relax, the mistakes were mine
and you're welcome

i'm happy to report no problems in the hours since i deleted widget locker
but who knows when redraw lag will rear it's ugly head again? i'll wake this thread back up if that happens

by the way, i have another question, might as well ask it right here
have you had your phone just randomly restart while using adw launcher? because this morning, when i woke up, i heard that sound that plays when you plug your phone into the charger (i left it on there in the middle of the night). i figure it might have been a random reboot, but will take any other theory (heck, i'd LOVE to. i thought i was through with my phone randomly rebooting -_-)

Ummm... I never had that with ADW.
However, some ROMs do have problems with random reboots.

mine is stock JPKE1

[Q] Colored snow, screen distortion, earphone speaker not working on Tilt2

Hey everyone,
I'm currently running the latest Jackos and I believe everyone was fine with the speaker you hold to your ear in conversation until about 2 weeks ago. Maybe a week or so after I installed the newest Jackos. Now I can't hear anything on it, but the microphone works fine. Speakerphone works fine, and my bluetooth earpiece works fine. I've searched for help on this and can't find anything to fix this problem.
The other problem is right when I boot the phone, instead of getting the black screen with the red diagnostic text, I get a white screen with colored speckles all over the screen. The speckles don't move at all and if I let it sit for 20 seconds or so, it will then show the HTC logo on black and continue booting. I can't get into the bootloader, I can't hard reset the phone, etc. Any ideas how to fix this? I haven't tried flashing the same/another ROM yet, but I don't know if that's even possible with this snow screen problem.
I've run Task29 and all the usual stuff every time I've flashed and I have never seen this happen until a couple of weeks ago. It does it NEARLY every time I soft reset or shutdown and boot or pull the battery and boot. The battery charges fine and it runs fine otherwise.
The screen will get random glitches in it, even when the battery is full and it makes me suspect maybe the battery's going bad but it'll run all day without problems and it doesn't get warmer than usual or anything like that.
Also, sometimes it says there's no SIM inserted and I've pulled it out, the contacts are nice and gold and nothing seems wrong.
Any ideas?
My sig is out of date but I have to head out right now and can't switch it yet, but it's the latest Jackos with 6.5.
Thanks,
Eric

I would flash a different/stock ROM and see if anything changes.
If no, hardware problem. If yes, software problem .
You seem to think you cannot, but AFAIK if you can task29, you can flash a ROM. Either way, putting an nbh on the SD card and doing power+vol up+reset should work regardless, unless the device is really bricked - in which case it wouldn't be booting.

Okay thanks, I'll see what I can do with it.. It does boot fine, though for a week I thought it was bricked because of the snow, but I decided to just let it sit for a week and gave it a shot, and poof! no snow on the first boot. It had the regular red text on black. Then I reset it from the slide to reset menu item and it went to snow again. I let it sit there and about the duration that it would be on the diagnostic screen, it was snow, then magically showed me the HTC logo and booted normally.
So it seems to me that it somehow doesn't want to show diagnostic info but does everything else.. So maybe the bootloader mode IS working, I just can't view that. I'll see what I can do.
Does the screen corruption/no sound in earpiece seem like a ROM issue, or battery related, or phone going bad problem to you?
And I've been looking for a while trying to find a suitable replacement, but haven't seen anything that I really find appealing (either in Android or WP7).. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks again,
Eric

Flash stock, it re-flashes everything... Make sure it works, then flash back to Jacko's.

Talk about loaded questions! I haven't found anything that's appealing with a hardware keyboard yet... The supposed TP3 (on Sprint it's the "Arrive"...) was a real disappointment.
MT4GS looks decent, if you can live with tmo...

Thanks for your replies, I'm going to try to flash to stock in a little while and see how that goes.
The new Glide phone that AT&T has sounded promising until I read a review of it. Slow camera, 480x800 on a larger screen, etc. It didn't seem as cool as I had hoped it would be after that.
I'll write back with my progress or lack thereof with this TP2.
Eric

I installed HTC's official AT&T ROM and the screen corruption seems to be less extensive but looks different too. The snow at startup is still present though.
There was a radio that came with Jackos ROM, is there any chance that's to blame? Though it worked fine for a couple weeks before these weird screen things started happening.
I haven't tried making a voice call yet to test the earpiece/earphone/loudspeaker or whatever the proper name is for it but since nothing else is really 'fixed' I'm not sure it will work either.
Thanks,
Eric

The stock ROM should've come with a radio as well...
task29 & flash stock? Otherwise perhaps you have a hardware problem... I don't know what to make of this snow .

The earpiece/loudspeaker thing isn't fixed either. I'll try a Task29 tomorrow or tonight if I can't sleep (thinking about this stupid phone! ) and then flash this ROM again and see what happens and let you know.
Thanks again

CM 7.1.0 problem

I'm hoping that someone can help me with my wifes phone. I recently flashed the "update-cm-7.1.0-Supersonic-signed" file and everything has been running fine. Well today she brings me the phone and had 2 things going...wrong. First the entire screen was strobe light flashing but a reboot fixed that. The other thing is that in the upper right hand there is constant, changing lines of text. They will say things along the lines of 2.54/2.25/xxx, under that system_server and then com.android.xxx. Will be anywhere from 3 lines to 6 and they change every 3 seconds. It's an HTC Evo 4g with running CM7.1.0 with the 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8 kernel.
I figure that I can always reflash but she's just got it set up and she doesn't really care for change lol. If anyone can try to help me I would greatly appreciate it.

You got a bad download and need to try one of the nightlies which is the newest from cyanogenmod. 2nd problem is that show processors has been activated so you wife probably messed with something and got their.
PLEASE post in the question and answers forum of the OG.
Hoped this helped

Your comment on showing processing got me thinking and I finally found the problem. Somehow under developer settings, show running processes had gotten checked as well as show screen updates (I'm assuming that that was the strobe flashing as it did it again when I checked it). I unchecked it and all seems to be well again. Thanks for your time lreyes as I'm still learning how to work on unlocked phones.
BTW, can I change the forum location of this or does a mod have to do it. If it's a mod, would one of you be so kind as to either move or delete? I just really started using these forums and am trying to learn the ins and outs so please bear with me. Once again, thanks a lot.

Only mods can move/lock/delete

Call&Note Recorder disables when screen is turned off

Hey guys, im kinda new here, i've lurked and gotten help but this is my first post.
I was using Call&Note Recorder for a few days, everything worked super well was recording everything and all that, but last night i noticed that the icon wasn't in the notification bar up the top. So i went into it, reactivated it, but everytime the screen goes off, it disables it again, whether its from locking, or putting it up to my ear.
This (of course) is really annoying, i don't know if anything else is broken as this is just the start, but i don't know what i did in the last few days that i could of broken it. I did install Xposed framework and Keepchat, which didn't seem to work for me, so i've since uninstalled it. Besides that i can't think for the life of me what could be causing it.
So i am hoping someone here knows, and might be able to help without having to restore it.
Thanks in advance. Scott.
EDIT: ok it happens with Dropsync as well, if i start a sync and lock the phone, it shuts it compleatly down. I really need help
EDIT 2: Was unable to get into recovery either, the Galaxy Note II logo would come up and then fritz out and reset, and just keep doing that over and over. So currently re-installing stock firmware with odin, in the hopes that i fix it.
EDIT 3: When i flash the stock firmware, everything works as it should, if i reroot it, the same problems arise. Things turn off when locked and no able to enter recovery. I really hope someone has an answer for this, as its driving me insane working it out.
Is there ways to check what i've installed root wise and uninstall it?
