s2u2 slider issue - eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ Themes and Apps

is anyone using the s2u2? i just downloaded the newest version (with the hot fix) but about every other time the slider will not work it seems if i press the finger print scanner it ''wakes'' up my phone and the slider works...ideas?

hmm. ur using the 2.30? ver?
thats what i'm on. and i'm using the touchpro 2 skin.. and i've yet to have a single problem with it at all.. in fact i was using it on my xperia x1 so much that when i got the expo it was nearly the first thing in installed. love it to death. can view and dismiss calls and emails and texts and play music without ever unlocking my screen. have you tried removing/re-installing ?

im using 2.33. i havent reinstalled it yet. will do and let u know.
thx

ahh blimey i didn't know it was up to 2.33 i'll have to check it out myself

i have been using s2u2 since i got my expo...never had an issue...ever lol

u could always try a downgrade.. seeing as how the new version needed a hotfix for whatever reason and nothing in the changelog is something i can't live without... i'll stick with the older 2.30 version which does everything i need it to do .. almost..

thanks canoe i just d/l and installed the 2.30 version. and so far so good it's not having any of the hanging issues!!!
thanks
again

no problemo i usually wait to upgrade when there's like a MAJOR change. and i usually give it a few weeks to see what other people are saying about the update...

Hey guys
I had installed this back in Jan and found that I seemed to have less battery life when using it. Did read about others (non Expo/IQ) users having this issue. Has anyone else found this to be true on our devices? I've since removed it but kinda miss it.

I have had no bad effects on battery wiht s2u2, and i have been using it over a few devices for years. At least i havent had any effects that can be noticed.

Thanks jug6ernaut, I’ll reinstall it and play with it some more.

im with jug6ernaut.. i've been using this app since i think 1.44 and have never had a battery issue with it. and definately no noteworthy effect on batt life with this phone esp...
there's a few custom skins as well.. they can make it have even more EYE-CANDY

FYI s2u2 is up to S2U2 Updated to V2.34 now says fixed "occasional" hard to slide problem...i may test it later see if its fixed for me - has anyone tried yet?

i used it about 2 days and i had no problems except it using too much ram about 7mb so i dont use it any more but i really like it i guess ill wait till we get a clean rom to use it.

So are you guys using the fingerprint sensor with the s2u2? That seems kinda a lot to unlock the phone.

i have the fingerprint sensor to set to lock my phone after 15 mins and when i was using s2u2 i had it set to lock anytime i turned off the screen. it also worked great with s2p but my bluetooth hedset could not control it. using s2u2 with s2p you dont have to unlock to change song or change volume and it uses album art as your wallpaper.

[HELP] my touch screen of milestone is crash

my touch screen was crazy when I get my phone out of my pants. I did not touch the screen but it still automatically run the app and drag the taskbar up and down .........
nobody is like me???
care to share more details and/or what ROm you're running? 2.2?
it happened randomly to me too, with any rom 2.1 2.2, but I still didn't figure the reason out yet..
Same for me.I have cronos 1.6.1 on phone with adw launcher.But happens only ones or twice.

this makes no sense mate. The overclock affects the cpu and not the touch screen. Anyway I didn't use any extreme overclock, beside using for a while the Telus Lite with 1.1ghz oc stock. And well I barely played any game, just a lot of emails and surfing on the web, very few calls. I noticed it happens when i move too much, like dancing or when i leave it on the shelf for the night and by the morning it acts crazy

I used to have that issue with stock 2.1 roms.
CM6, Sense mod, fastest Eclare and now MIUI does not bring that night mare back to me.
Also, if you charge using a 2-pin socket [the one without the earthed pin, popular in Asia], it'll show up.
OP needs to be a little more clear, but let me say my results.
Ever since flashing 2.2.1 SBF and then applying a few Froyo Mods and even goign back to ECLAIR,
I noticed that multitouch screws up. Sometimes it things I have a finger on the screen already, so by putting a finger on, it does a pinch zoom on me even though I only have 1 finger on it. Then sometimes it doesn't let me press an icon on my screen insisting my finger is elsewhere. Other times the notification bar starts getting pulled down randomly.
Perhaps Kadalban can explain his Multitouch fix, but for me it seemed to solve a lot of issues. Granted it was only pushed out in CM6 12/4/2010, which gives me 1 day to test so far, but some of those freak-incidents have been disappearing. You'd have to give me 3-5 days to conclude anything, but for now it seems to have done the trick.
i have issue with eclair 3b and CM6....it crazy when i I get my phone out of my pants....
is it FW error or HW error? in my country, in my country there are many like me.and we do not have a solution for this problem rather than the touch screen

how did you fix your screen.my homebutton does not respond
I just changed to some mod roms and the problem disappeared for me.
Some of my friends got really big issue with the touch panel and when they came to Motorola service point, the technicians said there is a known issue with the panel they used but not all customers are affected (hence some people are OK after trying different roms).
So if one experiences it then just needs to go to Moto and they'll change to a healthy-guaranteed panel obviously, if you're still under warranty, it's free!

occasional clock lagg

hey all, question here. I have noticed this in the last few roms, not sure if this happens in stock, but i have been running cognition, currently 3.04 ( before that 3.02, 3.0 and 2.3b6), Occasionally I notice that after the phone comes out of sleep I see the clock go from example 1:30 to 3:30 or something like that. IS that a bug in cognition? or does the clock occasionally turn off when in sleep mode, and the reason for the lag sometimes be the phone cpu usage is doing some thing when i come out of sleep causing the jump to current time? or whats the reasoning behind this?
thanks.

When the device goes to standby, all the widgets and screen updating apps are put to sleep to save battery. When u turn on screen, all these are refreshed. This is normal.
alright. Just curious, how come sometimes i see the clock go super speed to catch up, and other times it at the correct time? ( I usually dont see it, Ive only seen it maybe 5 times past month)

No clue. Didn't go into so deep architecture I shall see if I can find out how it works internally when I get some time.
Thanks. Anyone else feel free to answer as well.

As a more visible and more frequent occurrence, load a time app onto ur home screen. You can see it get updated when u turn the screen on frequently.
I think its more dependent on how many apps/widgets need to be updated when u turn ur screen on. I hardly have any on my screen so its a rare case I see the time update.
ok, so let me get this right, your saying it probably happens more often when i haven't used my phone in a while, because lets say I have things that update every four hours, and if the phones in sleep, and they haven't updated, they all could possibly be updating when i come out of sleep because there over due, thus sometimes causing the system clock to jump?
Any one else know anything ?

All that u set for 4 hours to update, get updated but in the 'background'. The 'display' part of them is not updated, and is 'refreshed' when screen turns on.
Hey, anyone else got any theories or updates?
I'm using ultimate Rom, newest version as of a couple of days ago.
Just noticed this about 3 times in half an hour or less.
Interested in learning why I will see my clock jump from like 2:13 - 2:17 instantly at times when I come out of sleep...
a google search using different words found this :
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...ec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars&id=9524
Are there any devs here that could explain or potentially fix this issue ?
Reading all that worried me, thinking hey, maybe my alarm clock isn't reliable either...
I had this issue when I was running 2.1 stock. I haven't had the issue since flashing 2.2 (have used both cog 3.02 and andromeda 2.0).
Your link also seems specific to 2.1, and I believe is a known issue coming out of 'deep' sleep. I had some luck with app called 'load monitor'. It's free and has a setting I think is called prevent suspend that doesn't allow phone to go into deep sleep.
Not sure if re-flash might help since what you describe shouldn't happen running 2.2
i897 running Andromeda 2.0
Okay. But what are the chances of me repeatingly getting bad flashes? Ive been on cog 2.3b6, 3.0 , 3.02, 3.04 snd now ultimate rom. Sometimes i wont see it happen for weeks. Other times ital happen a few times in 30 mns.

Oh and reading through that link you see tons on 2.2 have that issue, not just 2.1
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yeah not sure. Really thought was general 2.1 issue, not just on captivate.
Try load monitor. I forget the setting there, but it'll prevent deep sleep. That or you could try app 'no led' and send yourself an email before going to bed (when active notification that app prevents deep sleep too).
Sorry those are lame options that'll affect you battery life to some degree. Perhaps there are better options posted here but you'll have to dig for it.

I've been on some or other version of the ROM I have in my signature, and never observed a clock lag so far. Maybe u cud try this ROM once. By the way, I am on xcal's kernel, and not the kernel supplied in this ROM.

NeoFroyo!! Well testing

hey guys!
Well i was trawling the android forums and found this!
http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?t=7524
All thanks yo neopeek for the rom.
I decided to test it out on my kovsky. This coupled with I believe duckkly's kernels worked like a charm!! ill post the kernels up here too as I experimented with quite a few to see what worked best!
Battery life: 8 hours on full blast so i rekon around 11 on normal usage
Wifi: never ever ever dropped on me so far! thou it does seem to be weak in some places around my house where i usually should be getting more signals and strong at places where i get little signal :S.confusing
phone: well calls come in and stuff but sometimes ull see a black screen and cant see who's calling! :S
Bluetooth: paired with my mw600s just fine dont know about file transfer
market:works just fine a bit slow though..could be my internet speeds out here in pakistan.
Apart from that using whatsapp like a charm. facebook apps. gaaps everything works!! not a single sod to date been using it for around about 5 days or so.
Sorry for the spelling errors! big thanks goes out to neopeek and duckkly or whoever compiled those kernels !
PS: oh and the keys will freeze up as you hit around 20% battery. I simply reboot. Also terminal doesnt seem to be working. keeps crashing on me but i dont really ever use it in daily use so it seems to be pretty stable apart from these flaws. Also you'll need to reinstall quickpic from market
Also im on radio 1.16 i believe. 1.14 seemed to drop calls randomly.
please read all of neopeek's instructions before flashing ! happy flashing
can't confirm 20% battery being the point where keys stop working. for me 4 hours of uptime seems the be magic point...
i stopped restarting modules via script (how to has been explained many times in here) and simply restart. most of the time it happens when an app is running - now what good is it if you have a shortcut somewhere, but can't get there because back- and home-key isn't working?!
but yeah, neofroyo is a big step forwards. first time using android on x1 is fun!
for terminal to work you have to reinstall it just like quickpic.
i just hope we'll see some kernel-update soon. without it the whole thing is pointless.
lol truee..thanks for the terminal update. oh if u press the camera button it will take you back to your home screen. than i guess u could load the keyboard modules..annoying i never bother with it. try my combination of kernel it gives me decent battery lifee but yea its the kernel with all the problems. tried the new kernels but they dont seem to work properly
hm, which kernel-version is that?
might try if i know which it is. just had to step down from ygge-monster to ygge-turbo. monster made my touchscreen getting unprecise in left half.
thx for the update with cam-button - never bothered to press that, since camera doesn't work anyway.
yeah, new kernels suck for our device, especially since they're missing the specific battery-driver for x1. the only guy still working on x1-kernel has been silent for months, but i can see he's still at it (porting 2.6.35.7).
Just tried pressing cam-button.
Falls back to lockscreen, after unlock shows homescreen. But system is frozen and after some time reboots directly to android. But lots of stuff doesn't work, especially phone-stuff. So i have to reboot winmo anyway.

Phone goes crazy when (I guess) overheated

Hi guys, I have annoying probnlem with my LG 4x... When I work little bit longer on my phone, it just starts to behave crazy. Screen starts to "touch himself" I just look at it and he starts to get in menus, opening pictures, closing apps, opening new ones... I just lock screen for 10 secs and than everything is fine for few minutes. Than same thing again. This happens with every ROM and every karnel I try til now. Works fine only with stock. I'm now on Beanstalk 4.4 and iodak 9.95. Thanks!!!

Its a weird issue, are you sure it works fine on stock? because it sounds like a digitizer issue to me (rather than software, since the rest of us dont have this issue)
im not sure where to begin lol, can you pull some logs? (dmesg and logcat)
Oh.. and I guessed it was only me.
I have this problem too, works fine with stock but it goes crazy with custom rom.
Any idea ?

No worries, nothing out of the ordinary in the logs, its looking more like hardware(hopefully im wrong). It might be worth testing a stock rom under the same conditions again, if there is no issue, then theres something weird going on. btw 50c is fine temp for cpu, around 75c is the limit.
Can you get a screen recording of it? (most 4.4 based roms have this functionality built in) this could be helpful also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ds.cpuoverlay

Is it possible to turn off the warning for battery 30 %?

IF there is something I really don't need then it is to know that there's about 1/3 of the power left in the battery! I would like to stop that warning, but I can't find anywhere to do that. Is it possible, or is it a quirk I'll have to live with on this phone? They all have some quirks, just in different areas.

Yeah, hope is always eternal, but I'm afraid that's not likely, since the accelerometer problem (which means that the screen won't follow the phone's direction, but stay in portrait mode) hasn't yet been fixed several months after the first reports. So the best would be if it was possible to fix through an app with a rooted phone or something like that.

How about three resets in two days? I bought the phone a week ago, after years of Samsung. Took me days to figure out how to root, and in the meantime it had upgraded itself to N because I didn't see what I clicked on (eye operation makes it a bit difficult these days). So I got it downgraded to MM, reset it, backed up the TA files, upgraded to N again, reset it and activated USB debugging for Flashtool, unlocked the bootloader, reset it again and finally set it up the day before yesterday. So I seriously doubt that another rest would change much.
Edit: Oh, and it may be different from phone to phone. According to your sig you do not have the same phone as me.

It is quite funny as all I know of have gotten their screen rotation fixed with the software update. I guess you are unlucky... Which nougat firmware have you installed?

I see. So it's the map not fitting the terrain.
Well, maybe I should try yet another reset. I have Titanium, so it's quite easy to get back to where I am now if it doesn't help. I have F8131_Telenor Mobil NO_1303-3350_39.2.A.0.361_R7C
So I did. Reset, and didn't do anything but log into my Google account. When I got through the setup process there was no rotation at all. Then I started thinking. Could it have anything to do with the rooting? I use TWRP and the ANdroPlus kernel, and I checked the AndroPlus website. Turned out that they had a new kernel out just yesterday, and the note got me thinking:

That was the number on the firmware I'm using. So I flashed that, and bingo! Now I'm rotating! Well, at least my screen is, I don't even dare to think about rotating after yesterday's celebration.

So today is not my most productive day this year... But thanks for getting me on the right track, if you knew it or not!
Edit: There's a new TWRP recovery as well for the phone, 3.0.3.0, dated a couple of days ago.

Oh, and found out that it wasn't the kernel after all. It was regular rooting with SuperSU that broke the rotation, so now I'm trying the systemless root from phh. I'll let you now if that works, just to complete this part of the thread (which is really so off the original topic that it should have been split to another thread!).

1. You can't do a really good backup in any other way than with Titanium backup, and I like to start semi-fresh every now and then when there's been too much bull tested and tried on the phone.
2, and this is the real kicker: For some idiotic reason a non-rooted Android phone can't do AirPlay in any way. I have a whole-house system that incorporates streaming over WiFi from my phone, and if I don't root, I can't use any of the streaming apps that support AirPlay (my favourite is AirAudio) to stream audio from whatever app I want to, since it can stream the actual phone audio. DLNA is totally useless because I have to use particular apps to stream with that, and they are not the apps I actually use. So basically Google has with a rather dumb choice forced me to root.

The Xperia backup does the trick for me... It saves data so I have a complete backup.
The second makes good sense, I don't use apple so I don't know the problem but hope it will work out in the future mate ?

Doubful. It's a proprietary Apple system so they won't support it in Android, and from what I've heard that's why they make it as difficult as possible to support it, so root is necessary. Anyway, I'm good with that, as long as I get root. It took me some days, but Sony's a new thing to me. Still love that ability to work with a wet screen. Samsung really has a problem there.
I only get the warning at 15%, this is where I set the auto stamina to notifiy me when stamina kicks in.
How weird. I have turned off that bull totally, don't need it. I'm never that far from a charger, in my boat, car, house or motorcycle. So no stamina mode at all, still it wines at 30 %.

try setting auto stamina at 15%, it's the lowest you can set, and see if the 30% will stop.
Good point, I'll try. I seldom let the battery go so low, while 30 is not that uncommon. I'll try and see what happens later today, thanks!
