Münchausen is the disorder where a someone makes up symptoms and diseases to get the attention of doctors and others.

Stockholm Syndrome is where a kidnapped person starts to develop feelings for their captor. :)

[Captivate General] bubu123:
Hi all,

Few days ago I used Odin to go back to the stock Rom.

Since then the buttons p, mostly the back button, are randomly pressed when I'm not touching them.

I tried to use Odin again, flashed other roms and even restored the system to a Rom that worked fine, but the problem repeats in all of them.

Any ideas?

Tnx

Bad Hardware= warranty replacement.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
This isn't the right place for this, but you can emulate something like this for pointless fun. Try running this command:

adb shell monkey 3000

and marvel as your phone flips out.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
I have the same problem I saw a thread a while back saying that the problem stems from moisture in the phone
[Captivate General] ridethelight:
Interesting thing about the moisture, would explain why my phones search button will do this for 1/2 - 2 days and then stop for 1-2 weeks at a time.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
ya I have the same thing with my search button. But it will press in storms of 10+ which is annoying but not as bad as home or back
[Captivate General] bclark:
I had it happen on my first Captivate with the back key, it actually freaked out so much the phone was unusable . As long as it can be reproduced they will replace it no questions asked. Just make sure you are on stock and have done a master clear.

Edit: this was without any moisture issues, before snow hit etc
[Captivate General] glos7777:
I have the same problem when using 2.1 then flashed 2.2 and zero problem. you can try flash to fix it.
[Captivate General] ckelvin87:
Hi, I started having similar problems. But with my Power button only. It doesn't press by itself, but when i press it sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. BUT it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem because the first time it happened, i tried reflashing the kernel and everything was back to normal again, after 2 months here comes the problem again. I was able to fix it after a Hard reset using *2767*3855#, but later on i decided to do a factory data wipe and the power button key started going bonkers again. So I tried doing the hard reset trick to try and fix it again, but sadly this time it didn't work. I also tried flashing back to stock, master clearing, wiping cache and dalvik cache, wiping data. Trying to bring everything back to stock. But the problem still persists, I can't find a solution. Is there some code that I can't seem to reset that's causing this kind of problem. Hope someone can help me. My phones unusable and it's making me go crazy trying to find the problem and fixing it
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
The fact that it comes and goes probably means it is a hardware problem and not a software problem
[Captivate General] R@VEN:
I was having the same problem with my home button. I tried everything above to fix it. The only thing that has worked so far is updating my phone to stock 2.2 using kies. My home button was acting up 2 to 3 times a day and now it hasnt acted once yet.
[Captivate General] ckelvin87:
But sometimes it starts working flawlessly right after a flash or wipe. But goes bonkers again immediately after i flash or wipe again :( Making it seem software related
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
But wouldn't it make sense if the moisture also left the phone? The only thing that made up my mind of it being hardware was flashing to stock and having the search button click continuously immediately. I have had the problem on and since october. Usually once a month for a couple of days. I let it sleep in a rice bowl when it acts up
[Captivate General] MurphyZombie:
Ok so my phone just started doing this one day while I was running Cognition 4.x Don't remember the exact version. I then switched over to Firefly on version 2.7 and kept updating all the way through 3.0. It was doing it on firefly too.

It got pretty bad a few weeks ago so I started messing around with BLN and the haptic feedback. After cranking the haptic feedback up it seemed to quit doing it as much. For example before I started messing with stuff every time I turned the screen on the home button would go nuts till I pressed it several times. After I messed with the haptic feedback it would only do it about 1 out of every 5 times I'd turn the screen on.

Well tonight I flashed from firefly to 2.3, I'm running GR-9 and TalonDEV 0.1.3 and it hasn't done it at all tonight. It'll probably start after I post this, but so far so good on Gingerbread.

I don't know if any of that will help anybody else, but thought I'd throw my experience with it out there. If it starts acting up I'll post about it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgcaap:
hello. i'm starting to learn to program apps as a project for university . i would like to know if is there anyone willing to help with source code . If possible know of a irc channel where i can ask questions when i cant do it myself.

I was having the idea of creating a GPS app, using maps. The porpuse was to create an app wich can grab locations in Portugal wich will be highlighted with a picture. People click on it and it'll show details and history. Also while people are travelling if phone location is on with app on , if people are nearby something interesting it'll alarm them to get their attention.

Thanks :D
[Thunderbolt General] mindcritic:
I find myself not using wifi much now that I have 4g speed. I'm fact my 4g speed is faster than my wifi :) Anyone else find themselves not using wifi as much now? With my incredible I had to use wifi since 3g was only 3meg compared to my wifi which gets about 12 meg down.

Sent from hell.
[Thunderbolt General] yofat04:
Maybe a few times a week , which is.hardly ever. The 4g speeds in chicagoland area are so fast I forget about using the wifi networks I'm around. Since wifi uses less power than mobile data should probably be using it for better battery life though
[Thunderbolt General] dankpupdaddy:
I use wifi on my T bolt because no 4G is in my state yet even... I know fail :P
[Thunderbolt General] ttran97:
I never use wifi on my Thunderbolt. My home internet is fast (~25 Mbps), but I don't need it to be that fast on my phone. I have 4G in my area and get around 18-20 Mbps with my TB. :)
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
All the time when at home. Added benefit of accessing home network shares.
[Thunderbolt General] xman68:
I use it whenever i can, not 4G where i live. Some parts of the island have....not my part.
[Thunderbolt General] JBAeroEngineer:
I only use Wifi when I'm at home since my apartment gets terrible reception (3 bars on 1X). If I go outside on the balcony I get full 3G though.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Only when I dont have LTE coverage when traveling. Thats literally it. 4G is just too good.
[Thunderbolt General] LTL11:
Never use wifi now, 4g is about 8meg for me which is much faster than my home wifi.
[Thunderbolt General] 4Gallovermyface:
I haven't even turned wifi on yet. Had the phone since day 1 release.
[Thunderbolt General] potcryan:
I use wifi whenever it's available so mostly at home and at school. It saves on battery and I don't have 4g yet so it's a no brainer
[Thunderbolt General] nepperz:
Rarely
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
LTE > Wifi > 3g for me, but I use WiFi when I can, and LTE when I'm travelling somewhere that has it.
[Thunderbolt General] nolmt60243:
I am rooted with Wireless Tether, and getting about 16mbps out of the 4g. My internet company can shove it! Also play Xbox through it!
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
I dont think I will be able to see that much of a difference between wifi or 4g, plus why would you not run wifi? unless you really like your phone plugged in to a charger all day. Battery life burns much faster on 4g then it does on wifi, yes I am rooted.
[Thunderbolt General] 52brandon:
I use WiFi whenever I'm at home. 4g is faster but WiFi is better on my battery and is almost as fast as 4g
[Thunderbolt General] Infamous_Cheez:
Same here. I live near LA and although i would love to try 4G, i wont be going out of my way to do so, which means wifi whenever its available.
[Thunderbolt General] athorax:
I use wifi almost all day, everyday. Only exception is when I'm driving around.
[Thunderbolt General] azturbomini:
As soon as I get home I disconnect bluetooth from my truck and turn on wifi. I average 10-12mps down which is about the same as 4g in my area and wifi doesn't eat my battery like 4g does.
[Thunderbolt General] chocoyo00:
Almost every day, i hardly use wifi hot spots though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
I overclocked my G2 after months of having it on stock and when I run run benchmark score @ 1.42 ghz I get roughly 1900, anyone please explain this because I use to get up in the 2600s when I overclocked it around october before the OTA, could it be the OTA?

[G2 and Desire Z General] crowstar:
clue in the title, this belongs in the q&a section REALLY.

But I doubt it, maybe it just, slowed down? If it was the OTA it wouldn't have root (superuser.apk etc) so It wouldn't overclock at all. ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] catalystcorp:
This is just a couple of things I noticed about the G2X you might find useful.

1. When running multiple apps while charging you can still get a battery drain. When I was driving the other day I had the phone charging while using the GPS and listening to a show on Beyond Pod. When I arrived at my destination an hour later my G2X used over 10% of battery and was very warm to the touch. (This is not the first Android phone I've owned that has done this.)

2. The day I bought my G2X I dove in head first tinkering. I ended up loading the software from the Optimus. Now that I had it on I installed a kernel that would overclock to 1.4GHZ. The processor on the G2X really came alive. The one thing I noticed was my quadrant scores were great! Then I plugged the phone in to charge. While it was charging I ran quadrant again. This time my numbers were even higher. I was pushing scores close to 4000! The nVidia processor in the G2X is a power hungry beast (in a good way).

I hope this helps the smart ones out there who are going to start pumping out the roms for us.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Different car chargers provide different amounts of current. Some only put out 500 mA, which is definitely not enough for a phone that's running GPS and the display and streaming over wireless. I have one that is rated at 1A (1000 mA) and it was almost able to keep up with my Nexus One's power demands (I don't have enough experience yet with the G2x to know how it fares). My general practice when running GPS and streaming Pandora, which I usually do on trips, is to turn off the display when I have more than a few minutes of a straight shot ("stay on Interstate 95 for 59 miles"); the Nexus One was definitely able to charge on my 1A adapter with the screen off, even running GPS and Pandora, and since Google Navigation gave me a heads-up a couple of miles before the next exit or whatever, I had plenty of time to turn the display back on to see the road configuration, etc.

With respect to heating, that's not uncommon either, especially if the phone mount is exposed to sunshine. My mount has hooks for attaching it to a ventilation grill (I normally use it with a suction cup on the windshield), and I think I'm probably going to use that when driving during the day in the summer; the A/C flow should keep it cool enough, I imagine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
On #1. I had GPS on and was also on the phone a lot at the same time. It held its charge + maybe a few percent charge. I was using a self contained GPS map though, so it did not have to constantly update the map.

On #2. - You did what - did your phone still work? Thought those ROM's had different baseband settings, so were not supposed to work on the G2X (unless Paul has tweaked one already).

Can the kernel be flashed on the G2X stock ROM, or only on the O2x ROM?

Am hoping to see a 2.4 ROM down the road. Everyone is focusing on 3.0, but it is not optimized for dual core - only 2.4 and 3.1 are.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
You have an OC kernel working successfully on the G2x???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] peacekeeper05:
Waa? You flashed an OC kernel for the 2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
My thoughts exactly ^^^^^^^^^

Please share the link. Does the phone portion function properly? I thought O2x kernels would screw up our cell radios
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypersonicx:
Out of everything the OP said, the OC kernal was the only thing important it seems lol.

Not charging + on a car charger is normal. Same as with computer USB charging. If your doing something intensive on the phone such as wireless tether / GPS + stream data + using voice minutes then wall charger is needed. This is almost common sense.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OrganizedFellow:
+1 for OverClock kernel information.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Little skeptical of the OP claims about overclocking. The baseband should get messed up unless there were some changes made today or late last night.
[Android Themes] fr3quency:
Is there? Not a theme for ADW etc. A launcher that will have a dock to put on 4 apps, and the ability to change the icons myself on the desktop(huge icons, without having to add desktop visualizer widgets), as well as putting all the apps in the app drawer on the desktop.

is there? :D Or am I asking for too much? :P

Try Go Launcher EX. It uses folders just like MIUI thus you can do the all apps in a folder.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
The reson I asked because from the pic, it looks like you still have the default recovery, not Amon RA.

Anyway in order to update your radio/SPL, it's better recommended that you use fastboot to do it. Flashing it through recovery can possibly brick your G1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olly_p:
