I've been working on making a ROM for a while. I started with the stock 2.2 November OTA, and have been doing some theming and making some changes in the framework and such. mostly basic stuff like getting rid of the GPS indicator in the notification bar, and the USB debugging notification. Also implementing 6 bar signal bar, and pulling some stuff from Evo ROMS. I also made some changes in the Rosie.apk, transparent app drawer, making the right button open the browser, etc.
somehow, something I changed broke the ability of the signal indicator to display 1x when appropriate. I used to see 3g change to 1x briefly whenever sending a text, but not anymore. I didn't think much of it til yesterday, I was in a bad signal area, but the signal indicator still showed 3g. I was trying to send an MMS, and it too a very long time. I went into Settings - About - Networks and saw it said CDMA -1xRTT, notification bar still showed 3g.
It's such a minor thing, but it's still a bug and I'd like to get it fixed. The weird thing is, I tried reverting back to the stock files bit by bit, until I was back to the stock framework and stock Rosie, but it was still broken after wiping everything and flashing again. So I reverted phone to full stock by flashing the November OTA PB31IMG.zip and it went back to working. Flashed my ROM with the stock framework and Rosie, broke it again.
I've been working on this ROM for a while and can't recall all the dozens of little changes I made, but I know it wasn't much outside of /framework/ and /app/.
Anyone have an idea what I may have done to break this?
Ok now I feel a little stupid. I just went and pulled the entire framework folder from the stock OTA and flashed just that (I was replacing files in framework one at a time before) and NOW I see 1x when I send a text....
so it definitely was something that I changed in there.... mostly what I've done is change stuff in the classes.dex files in smali, but I can't figure out which change broke the 1x...
Hello.
I just got a new Galaxy Nexus, it has around 24 hours of use.
It randomly restarts itself.
I am was able to replicate this, even if device was set to factory reset and no software installed, I go to a blank home screen, go to live wallpapers preview, pick the first one (some interactive dots animation), now while previewing wallpaper if I rotate the device in landscape and portrait around 5-10 times it freezes and restarts itself.
I tried factory reset from menu and the ones from the forced boot menu "Android System Recovery", issue remains.
The OS version is 4.0.4 (it says it is latest), I am wondering if newer ones can fix this or I should just return the phone?
Anyone else can try the above ? (Rotating the live wallpaper preview multiple times fast).
I am VERY disappointed because I really like all the rest

Any ideas? I posted a video of the issue ^.
return the phone. if its broken out of the box, then get it returned, don't screw around with it.
If returning is a Hassel, I would put stock Google image of 4.1.1 and check.

Does it do it with all lwp's? Or are you just hunting for a flaw with completely UN-natural behaviors of rotating 10 times in the lwp preview screen? Can't check mine, not many run "stock" around here .
*edit* Gave up at 30 rotations with phase beam (I don't have the bubble one) and device never rebooted. Running 4.0.4 custom rom.
good day.
@chopper the dog: Thanks for trying, it did that in other live wallpapers too (like the sound Spectrum one).
Mine is probably related to sensor and not live wallpaper, first time I noticed it I was in photo gallery and rotating the device.
@atifsh: I would like to test the 4.1.1 but the normal update doesn't come (it is a YAKJUXW if that matters).
Is there an easy and warranty safe method to put the 4.1.1 from Google?
Today I got another one (in same country, DIFFERENT company/store), unsealed it, tested in screen saver, it instantly restarted itself. So I rejected that one and keept the previous phone, this must be a software problem, right?
Mine has just barely started crashing, like within the last few days it randomly resets EVERY day. I am rooted, not sure what rom i installed on it, but its running 4.1.1 and franco's kernal. I am wondering if it has to do wtih live wallpapers. Its starting to get very annoying, especially when I am navigating around town and resets.
@adamhlj maybe you have another issue, I seen someone on youtube demonstrating how Galaxy Nexus restarts itself when losing Wi-fi connectivity, you mentioned resets while navigating around town, so it might be related.
Now about my issue, I updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 official images using this thread info and no restarts so far (~3 days).
Now in live wallpapers if I try hard enough (rotating many times) I can make it generate a force close of live wallpapers ("Sorry live wallpapers closed") but...
no restarts anymore.
Good for you. Hope you used fastboot commands and not some tool kit.
on my semi broken gnex on 4.1.1, the problem doesn't exist

It restarted itself when I was out far away from any wifi signal. I was using it as my GPS on a road trip. I wasn't particularly happy when it reset, tho fortunately I was still in an area of good data reception so I could re-route.
And I have removed the live wallpaper, and the phone has stopped crashing.

Same here! I tested it for a few days , it seams Live wallpaper activity forces it to randomly reboot. I didn't notice it at first because I always run live wallpapers. (renown ones, not just any LWP). 2nd day no reboot with a regular wallpaper..within hours of using it, rebooted three times in less than half a day. Keep in mind, its just on by my computer desktop or counter. No activity.
I don't have any issue when rotating my live wallpapers back an forth from portrait to landscape quickly numerous times in preview or home screen on my galaxy nexus 4.2, not 1 reboot, freeze or lag, you must have a faulty gnex or try updating to 4.2 an see if that helps.

OGP was getting laggy so I restored to factory stock. I was surprised though that the phone remained rooted, which I guess is good. I then installed FreeGee and went with CWM, same as it was before the restore.
Now, a few weeks later, I'm having some issues with the keyboard and the Home screen wallpaper. About once or twice a day (on most days), for some unknown reason, my keyboard will revert to the Android keyboard (AOSP) from the LG keyboard that I have it set to. When I "correct" it to the LG keyboard, sometimes the "Extended keyboard" option is checked and other times it's not (I always leave the extended keyboard checked). I also will occasionally get a notification on the pull-down that I need to select a keyboard.
The other issue is that the Home screen wallpaper also seems to change itself back to the default blueberry paper. This only happens on the home screen, and it does not affect the lock screen wallpaper. The wallpaper issue seems to happen at different times than the keyboard issue.
I've also had the phone reboot itself once or twice since the restore...both times while in its holster. Only reason I know this is that I hear the AT&T boot music playing in the background. Upon viewing the phone, it's verified that it is in fact rebooting.
Anyone else having these issues, or know the cause?

Guess nobody else is having this issue.
The spontaneous rebooting has stopped, as has the "extended keyboard" issue.
What remains is the wallpaper and default keyboard changing issues. They both change at the same time now, about once a week.
What I was able to nail down is that this happens after every time titanium backup (free version) does its weekly thing. I have no idea what setting(s) I may have enabled to cause this. Anyone have an idea they can help out with?
I have the exact same problem with my home screen wallpaper changing. Ive had my optimus since about july and the first time it did it was like 2 weeks after i got the device. Kept doing it even tho i would change it back and not do anything with it regarding the screen. Wasnt sure what to make of it but whatever. It didnt do it again until yesterday (24th) and it wouldnt stop. Had to change my screen back like 5 times, and i just woke up a little bit ago and it was different again. The phone was just laying there. Didnt touch it so i have no clue. Ive tried going thru the settings to see if maybe i had checked something or whatever and im pretty sure i didnt. Only thing i can think of is that is just a glitch with the phone. I like the phone too much so thats not enough to get me to wanna get rid of it.

Are you running Titanium Backup?
If all else fails, you can always restore to stock and reinstall your apps and other items. Then maybe you will be able to determine what is causing the issue.
I have a Galaxy Note II, and my talk to text icon has disappeared. I had this issue once before on an HTC One X, and it turned out to be a bloatware app that I had disabled. But I can't figure it out on this phone. I've tried looking it up on google, and every answer I came across either said to hold the gear icon until the other icons popped up and make sure some box is checked (this option is not on my phone), the typical reboot and reset, or for some reason it gets flipped and I get a lot of results about text to speech. So if anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this without doing a reset, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.
Oh, and its all stock. I don't have any custom keyboards or anything, running 4.3
Hi, I just bought this phone a couple of days ago and I have a few problems.
First of all, I am using Lawnchair Launcher because I couldn't deal with having only 4 apps on a row but I don't think this influence my problems. The problems that bother me are that any clock widget I try to use always remains behind the in-built clock on the notification bar while the alarms seem to show random times. I have to point out that I tried about 6 or 7 different ones and they all end up doing this.
The second problem is that I installed Navbar Apps because having a white navigation bar in almost every app is annoying and I wanted it black. However, if I don't let it stay open in the task manager ( or whatever is called the thing where you see all recent opened apps ) it stops working. Furthermore when I open the app it says "Detection of running apps is disabled.", I press Enable, the phone takes me to the Accessibility settings but the app is already enabled. I already tried to change the battery settings and in the Installed Apps settings but it doesn't change anything. I hope somebody smarter can enlighten me.
Thanks and have a great day!
