If your using google voice its the application doing that you can fix this on cm 7 by moving the application to the Sd card.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faux123:
I believe this is a real hardware issue... It seemed that the optical sensor in the trackpad is broken and it's always sending signal to the kernel telling that it detected activity but in reality nothing was going on, so the kernel can never go into power saving mode.

Sense UI is a CLOSED SOURCE software, there's nothing you can do to patch it.

Since ALL MT4G are still under the 1 year Manufacturer's warranty, you should call T-Mobile/HTC to get it fixed or just get a replacement....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaleb_709:
Ok I found a solution for us mt4g owners with the messed up trackpads, you are gonna have to flash virtuous unity rom v. 2.39 and then apply this patch:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28766802/Virtuous/trackpad_disabled.zip

This patch was made by one of the developers of the rom chrisch1974 specially for this issue, so good luck =D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpicolin:
Same problem, but found work-around

My phone (MT4G) has the same issue but I know why it happened. I got caught in the rain and although I had the phone in my pocket, it got wet. Everything works except that. I left in a bag of rice overnight to no avail.

Anyway, when I press the power button to send it to sleep mode, it just comes back to the lock screen. If I let it time out, it goes out but comes right back to the lock screen. Sounds familiar?

What works for me is holding the home button (the one with the sensor) and, while still holding the home button, pressing the power button once. It is then that I let go of the home button.

Works, but sometimes I have to repeat this charade a couple of times before it sticks. Usually have to repeat it when I don't fully press the home button.

Anyway, hopefully this will help someone that is stuck with this phone and is unable to get a replacement. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirh216:
Hi,

I Have IL Orange version.

I think that what I did cause to a brick of my Internal SD of my SGS.

1. Flash hardcore with ODIN3 1.3

2. Wipe/Factory Reset

3. Flashing Darky's ROM 9.2

My question in general is this:

How can I go from official operator ROM to a custom ROM?

Is my steps to do that are correct? OR should I flash a STOCK ROM of 2.1 and then a custom ROM?

I couldn't understand when should I flash STOCK with ODIN and which one (2.1 OR 2.2 - AKA Eclair or Froyo)

What is the best way to do that without bricking my SGS internal SD?

Official Orange --> Gingerbread..

Is there a midway station?!

Much appriciations!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
The good news is you can flash straight from operator FW to a custom ROM.

Be sure to check you have the 3 button combo. to get into download mode.

Sprint and Google to Launch Integrated Google Voice Experience on All Sprint Phones, Including Upcoming Nexus S 4G

Sprint is first carrier to allow customers to use their existing mobile number as their Google Voice number without porting

Multimedia Gallery

Integrated Google Voice Experience (Graphic: Business Wire)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), March 21, 2011 - Sprint (NYSE: S) and Google announced today a new integrated Google Voice™ experience that will allow Sprint customers to set their existing Sprint wireless phone number as their Google Voice number. Sprint customers will be able to take advantage of all the features and benefits of Google Voice without the hassle and fees associated with porting their number. Sprint is the first and only carrier to offer this capability, which will be available soon on all Sprint CDMA phones.

In addition, Nexus S 4G1, announced today by Sprint, Google and Samsung, will allow Sprint customers to enable the integrated Google Voice experience and will come preloaded with the Google Voice Android app.

“As part of our partnership with Google, our customers will appreciate having the easiest set-up experience of any wireless carrier for Google Voice across all of our CDMA phones, using their existing Sprint phone number,” said Kevin McGinnis, vice president-Product and Technology Development, Sprint. “It’s now easier than ever to truly live a mobile lifestyle with the ability to manage multiple devices through intelligent call routing and online controls using just one phone number – your existing Sprint number.”

"With this integration, we have made Google Voice simple to use with a Sprint phone," said Dave Girouard, president at Google. "Sprint subscribers now have access to all the benefits of Google Voice behind their existing mobile number without the need for porting or, if they already have a Google Voice number, they can display that number from their Sprint phone without the need for a separate application."

Manage multiple devices with Google Voice

Google Voice makes it easy for people to manage and access most of their voice-based communication. It lets users manage up to six different devices through one phone number with intelligent call routing and advanced features like call screening, blocking and recording using the phone’s dial pad. Sprint subscribers will be able to use their Sprint number across their office, home and wireless phones, and personalize settings so calls from friends ring their wireless device and home phone, while calls from the boss only ring at the office. Google Voice users can receive transcribed voicemails and read or listen to them online. They can also read, send and search text messages and call logs online at www.google.com/voice.

Hello everyone! im new in this forum, and im new about Android too.. im using Xperia X8 with Android Build number 2.1.1.A.0.6

is there a way to get it to 2.2(sinces too many Tuts in the web idk what should i follow tho)? Thanks alot and more power to Xda-developers!
[XPERIA X8 General] catsado:
Check the development section :) there should be lots of guides on how to change your rom :) by first rooting your phone :)
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
If you want just to put 2.2 on your phone, u have to know that all these roms are made by one programer. If you are amature dont even try it for now, read some topics , inform your shelf first. Such roms have bugs and in my opinion are not suitable for amatures...

It is just to hard to do the job that a company such as sonny ericson should have done, and make a rom in your one... These boys realy try hard but the last they need is some amatures asking how to restore their loat data.

On the other hand if you are not amature u can try a rom and feedback to them in order to fix bugs... :)
[XPERIA X8 General] sanjay.rup:
you will lose the phone warranty too !
[XPERIA X8 General] rayzstyle123:

I appreciate your replies, thank you so much, yea im aware that i might lose warranty but it seems i can unroot the phone isnt it? i wanted to try to Root my Xperia X8 (2.1 update-1) but im scared O_O :D too many Root Guides here so im a bit confused which is true.
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
Yes you can unroot phone with reinstalling fimware with SEUS or PC Companion. Look in this thread if you want root phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906195

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply! Thank you Mister. oh that's how u unroot, just reinstall , not using Xrecovery thingy?
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
Do you mean restoring backup with xrecovery? If you restore your backup it will be still rooted
[XPERIA X8 General] oisteink:
Instant warranty-back:

1: Turn off your phone

2: hold down "back" while you insert cable to pc

3: start SEUS

[General Questions and Answers] TheWarKeeper:
Hey, ive been searching for about a month on the net for a way to calibrate my xperia x10 mini pro, the problem is when u hold it at parallel to the ground it just keeps moving to much to the right, my phone is rooted, ive tried messing up with its internal console calibration wizard, did what it said but nothing worked in the end, can anyone please tell me what file do i need to change or if t here is any way at all for me to have this annoying problem fixed?

This problem happens to so many ppl im shocked that ive found nothing to help us out with this problem, yes many applications have accelerometer calibration but what we must understand is that first:

There are simply many more which do not have calibration, so youre stuck with a big nuisance;

You are not solving the real problem as youre just patching it at every application you have and frankly this is no way to go.

We should go at the source and fix so we wont be dependant of apps that releases or not accelerometer calibration tools.

Any information regarding this situation is greatly appreciated,

Thanks in Advance!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winwintoto1234:
Hi all,

I did 2 nandroid backups. 1st is the backup for Original Untouched ROM and 2nd one is backup just before flashing a new ROM.

I compared 2 backup files, strange enough, the 1st backup contains 7 files while the 2nd backup only contains 5 files.

1st backup:

.android_secure.img

boot.img

cache.img

data.img

nandroid.md5

recovery.img

system.img

and the second backup does not have:

boot.img and recovery.img.

I think this was why I didn't manage to restore to my previous ROM which was backup immediately before the flashing.

My question now is, can I copy the 2 missing files from the 1st backup to the 2nd backup folder and start restoring? (They were created on different dates and possibly, different version of ROM Manager)

Your kind advise is much appreciated.

Regards!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike1986.:
Missing recovery.img is not a problem once you flash custom recovery. Missing boot.img is a problem actually because it contains f.g. kernel. You can take boot.img from the custom ROM you flashed and put to the recovery package. That will work.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winwintoto1234:
Finally there is a Guru here to help.

I'll try to do as advised.

Order Details:

Scheduled for Ground (Estimated arrival date(s) 03/24-04/01/2011)

Anybody else get the same thing??? It would be so sweet if we got it before the 8th!
[Xoom General] Blaisun:
I got that as well, i think it is the default shipping time (2-3 days) for the ground service, not accounting for that the device will not be available until the 8th....

But Please! i will be more than happy to be wrong ;-)
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Yea you're probably right but I most definitely hope you're wrong! :p
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
For some odd reason, Best Buy Canada is selling it for $649.99 as opposed to Future Shop's $599.99. (even though they're essentially the same company)

http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=5e3547e1985bbf073f282c45c6d6c711en02
[Xoom General] daoom:
They're owned by the same people but still do business independently, so it's quite common for one to have products or specials the other doesn't. Best Buy will probably bring their price down and if not you can always invoke their "Lowest Price Guarantee".
[Xoom General] lifegear:
Why cancelling B&H for FS? For the Warranty?
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
pre-ordered from FS :P chances are 599$ is a mistake, since most Canadian prices are usually higher than US prices ... dunno why, our dollar is better now!
[Xoom General] galactic.surfeur:
Question for you : Should I cancel my order from BH and make a new order with BB Canada or FS ??

If yes, why ? There are most accessory for now with BH..
[Xoom General] Croptop:
Should I order one?

I'm desperate to ditch my iPad (I've got a 64 GB 3G model) and move into a more open application ecosystem (without having to jailbreak etc). So I've had a Xoom sitting in my FS cart all day and I've hesitated on pulling the trigger on the order.

But here's the thing. I use the 3G connection on my iPad all the time. Especially when I travel (I've got an AT&T SIM that I swap in when I travel to the states). I realise that I can easily tether the Xoom to my HTC Desire HD for net access when WiFi isn't available but, of course, then I have to worry about the battery life on two devices instead of just one.

So I'm torn between buying the WiFi Xoom now or waiting for the rumoured release of the 3G Xoom in Canada later in the year.

Any advice?
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Future shop will hook you up with pretty good deals once you tell them you're interested in the extended warranty (which I think is worth it). Ill get a free SD card and get them to lower the price as well ;)

It'll be much easier to process the warranty at your local FS than having to mail it to B&H.
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Get an extra battery for your cell phone. I bought my extra battery on eBay...soooo cheap.
[Xoom General] galactic.surfeur:
Hum.... On the FS website now : Pre-Orders: Estimated release date: 04/15/2011

Passed from 8 to 15....

I think I'll keep my order from BH.
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Well that sucks...
[Xoom General] Blaisun:
I agree, but i still prefer to deal with a Canadian vendor to work with in case of warranty issues......:(
[Xoom General] Blaisun:
BB now has it on for $599 same release date as Future Shop...

but at lease the price of the accessories has dropped, the speaker doc was 199 at first but now is down to 129, same as in the US....
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Same here. I decided to wait it out for warranty purposes too. Future Shop is pretty good with their warranties. And like I said before. You can usually get them to throw in a lot of stuff if you get an extended warranty...or even get them to lower the price of the warranty (via decreasing the price of the product).
[Xoom General] SS2006:
i kept my bh

599 vs 680 + gay canadian tax shipping
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
It's good to be in AB....only 5% tax here.

Anybody know if you can use best buy rewards certificates at FS like you can with gift cards?
[Xoom General] TheGrub:
I preordered mine from futureshop as well. Disappointed with the move from Apr 8 to Apr 15, but i prefer ordering from Canada for Warranty reasons....

I was ready to drive down to plattsburgh to get one on release date...

Can't wait !!
[Xoom General] Blaisun:
don't forget brokerage, duty, and shipping on that US order...
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
I think time has slowed down for us Canadians waiting for the Xoom. :D
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
heh switched my pre-order from FS to BB just for the points card thing... I was gonna buy one in the states in 2 weeks (going there anyways) but too much of a hassle at the border and also the warranty issues...

I might buy a case there though. Portfolio or Gel? hmm...
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
A buddy of mine has a portfolio case for his iPad. It looks really nice. I got the one from http://www.zoogue.com/ because of its versatility.
[Xoom General] SS2006:
actually thats never the case, atleast with me

i got my at and t ATRIX the same way

I use shipito.com

BH ships it to them for FREE in 1 day (unlike BB or FS),

they charge usually 20$ to ship it to me, and mark as gift

my total will be 620$, trust me

and ill get it 3 weeks early
[Xoom General] ksoze:
I've purchased from B+H before. They have a Purolator option. They will handle the taxes for you. Brokerage was minimal about $5 I think - hard to remember because it was lumped in with the taxes. They display the full amount to you - definitely NO surprises at the door upon delivery and very reasonable shipping rates.
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
2 more weeks! Longest 2 weeks of our lives.
[Xoom General] Blaisun:
I would say patiently waiting but that would be a lie..... want it now!
[Xoom General] Blaisun:
the arrival date has changed back to the 8th of April! hopefully it sticks!
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
I just noticed that too! SWEET :) I already pre-ordered mine but I'm still heading over to FS that morning if I don't see the Xoom shipped by next Monday. I'll just return the one I get in the mail. I've already done enough waiting. :cool:
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Pre-Orders: Estimated release date: 04/06/2011

:D:D:D
[Xoom General] Blaisun:
Oh yeah, maybe in my hands by next weekend! Me like!
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
At this rate, they'll be at stores on Monday! lol
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
3 yr warranty for the Xoom is $239.99 and for the ipad 2 (32 GB) it's $139.99.

From previous experience, FS will do anything to get you to get that warranty so if they

ask you, I suggest you tell them you'll only take it if they give you the ipad2 warranty price!

Oh and have them add an accessory too ;)

how many people get their preorder xoom on the way?

mine isnt, and BB told me that they are out of stock right now, only a few xoom was sent out to those early birds. they are getting some more from moto but i will be the middle of next week and he doesnt know how many they are getting.

FS is just a joke, they have xoom in stock and their rep says it will send out by this afternoon or tomorrow but i should receive it by 15th?! just because im in the forgotten province of Manitoba? i can walk to their warehouse in that time. and the world ends by the time it arrives.
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
FYI world's not ending until 2012 ;)
[Xoom General] dota-lina:
just come back from a local FS, the sales told me that they have no info about xoom and he think it wont arrive by may or even june in manitoba. lol

why dont costco or staples or newegg sell xoom in canada? how hard can it be.

hope god forget about doom manitoban in 2012 just like that :P

Not shipped yet, while it says that BestBuy and futureshops here have them in stock in the stores.

I will go to Best Buy during lunch time and if it's the case, i'm buying from them and returning my futureshop preorder when i recieve it !
[Xoom General] ~dimdim~:
I also got an email this morning telling me it is out of stock....What is the point of pre ordering when ppl can just walk in and buy!!! I thought pre order means u get a copy for sure once it is realeased! FS could've said something about it....they do know the number of pre-orders vs the number of xoom coming in...argh!!
