[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElStormChaser:
Hey all,

My Samsung Fascinate has an issue where the following have been happening (mostly in spurts, where it gets really bad);

There are what you could call "Phantom" button presses, I'll be doing something on it, surfing the web, reading something, and it'll just start acting up as if random buttons are being pressed. This'll go on for about 10-30 seconds, or until I use kill a bunch of background running apps. I originally thought it was due to having a screen protector over the hot keys, so I took that off the hot key area. that took care of it for a while, until I rooted my phone and started using custom ROMs (right now, I had a debloated ED01 ROM). After that, it began acting up again. I'm gonna try derooting it and doing the official updates to see if that helps. Any other directions for me to look in to fix this? Now it also has been eating up battery power like crazy (it almost dies when I was at work today, and I pretty much only use it as a time piece when there).

I also now have the problem where it wakes back up after I put it to sleep. If you just want to answer this in the thread already for this problem, then no problem, I'll follow that thread as well as this one.

Thanks for your help on this.

BW

EDIT: Another symptom for consideration: When the phone acts up, it'll also snap screenshots when I try to power it off. Usually I can stop this by killing most of the running apps or swiping my finger across the hotkey area..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDeGruven:
Sounds like something is up with your digitizer (the part of the screen that registers touch/gestures). If you flash back to bone stock ED01 and it's still acting up, take it in and get it swapped/fixed.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
I would say you need to do a real good cleaning of your screen. The screen protectors for the Fascinate were not designed to be placed over the capacative keys (hot keys) and the slight adhesive on the screen protector probably left a residue on the capacitive keys. The screenshot when pressing the power button is a big clue. Screenshots are taken when you hold down the back capacative key and press the power button. This problem has almost always been cleared up by thoroughly cleaning the capacitive (soft) keys.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElStormChaser:
Cool, thanks guys for the help. I'll try the cleaning thing first; I'm guessing that alcohol wipes would work just fine for this?

Also, on the screen cap thing, that does make sense considering the major thing that happens is my phone will act as if the back button is pressed (with it occasionally phantom pressing the home button and bringing up the task manager box). Would it maybe be a good idea to completely remove the screen protector (it's a ZAGG, ie: Heavy duty). I've talked to a couple of people who say it shouldn't be a huge necessity to have one on.

If this doesn't work, I'll go through and flash the stock ED01.

If anyone else has a possible answer/ solution, feel free to chime in, as I'm hoping to get an idea of all the possible reasons for this.

Thanks again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Just fyi, you can disable the screen capture service by freezing it through a variety of apps (a lot of people use titanium backup pro).

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElStormChaser:
How would I do that, I've looked through TiB and don't see an obvious setting that would take care of this.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
First, you must have the pro version. Go to backup/restore tab at the top and find the screen capture service (it's in red text). Tap it and select freeze. This will disable, but not uninstall it, so you can restore it later. PM me if you need a screen shot.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElStormChaser:
Ok, got it. Now if I could get it to stop turning back on when I sleep it, it's been doing that a lot more of late. Going back to the capacitive keys issue; Is there a mod that can adjust the sensitivity of those keys, to make it so they don't get 'pressed' if theres any junk on them?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nking79:
I'm running deeperblue's honeycomb off an 8gb sd card on my Nook Color. Everything runs extremely slow, even things as simple as checking email, accessing the web, etc.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfamily737:
Try a different SD card. Cheaper cards are generally better for running a rom because they have a faster small block read/write speed. More expensive cards are better in nearly every other aspect then what you're trying to do. I run HC (Madcat's Hybird) of a class 2 4GB Sandisk card (about $15 at Wal Mart) and it runs great. My wife's running CM7 off an identical card. Both are perfect.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nking79:
I'm running HC off a PNY 8GB class 4 card, which was $24 from Best Buy. Maybe I should try to format the card and start over? Should I install CM7 on the card as well? Not sure of the process to follow - can you provide a link?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue6IX:
I'll bet you need a different MicroSD card to solve your performance issue, as hockeyfamily737 mentioned above.

See this thread: SD Strange-results - or - How I learned to love CM7 on SD

to find out why.

This software : Crystal Disk Mark is what we are using to test card speed.

Office Max is having a sale on SanDisk class 2/4 MicroSD cards, 8 gig size, for 12.99 a piece until saturday, might want to see if there's one around you.

Having been in the situation you are in, the MicroSD card used makes a significant difference.

Also, try downloading the app "SD Speed Increase" by Diego Stamigni. Setting the cache size to 2048kb can dramatically improve performance on the card you are using now. It's one of my must-have apps for running android from the SD card on the Nook.

Edited to add:

I used to run the same honeycomb version you are, but I swapped over to Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb Image. I run it from the sdcard, and the phiremod version of cm7 is my new daily-driver. It's a great image, you might want to check it out.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenXSniper:
also honeycomb isnt fully reeased for AOSP so the nook version is just a port of the SDK, also maybe try a class 6 sd card? you can get a class 6 8gig for like $18 of amazon, i use a class 6 and its very fast
[Desire HD General] ponkmeister:
Hello, i have clockworkmod orange installed on my phone, but i have removed the rom but I have still the image, so when i try to install the Android version 2.3 it stands:

Installation aborted,

and when i try to install a new stock, it stands ERROR[130]: MODEL ID ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

Whats the problem ??
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolento:
Hi guys,

I just installed the Tiamat 1.4.3 kernel but I can't seem to access my SD card at all.

I can flash via CWM so I know my SD card is working.

But after I booted into Honeycomb and used multiple file managers to try to access my SD, I can only see the sdcard/external folder but that folder always empty which is not suppose to be empty.

I need some help here....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealyourface:
It's not hot swappable. Take the card out, turn device off, put SD card in, boot up.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolento:
You are right
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattj949:
I have the same problem and it's not because I was trying to hot swap it. I do notice the "external" folder has no execute permissions and you cannot change it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobleskill:
Anyone keen?

I believe it would be extremely advantages to have more developers working the tab. I have the utmost respect for the handful that seem to do the work of double their numbers but someone like Rodderik would not only bring himself to the party but there would undoubtedly be others that follow him.

I am between employment right now otherwise there would be one in the post on its way to him/her but I would be open to a small contribution if this could get momentum. Please only leave productive comments.. if its not something you're interested in seeing happen let the thread die a sinking death!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
Ill donate towards a tab, depending on the Dev, but with cm7 almost perfect, and afterbridge doing his thing, is it really needed for another dev, I'd rather one good rom than have 50 crap ones like most the other sections, also this is in the wrong section.

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
I agree. CM7 is now flashable, Overcome is just fantastic and Honeycomb is soon available to everyone. IMHO, I can't see how the development could benefit from another Tab. Unless Overcome gets ported for CDMA users..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
Maybe if the dev ported over a miui rom, but even then most people are going to use cm7
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CliveEP:
I would definitely donate toward P1010 development. Not a whole tab of course, but something nonetheless.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua412:
What's so special about CM7? I know he does work for most phones? Or at least that rom is available for a number of phones. I'm guessing it's good because i've heard people speak so highly of it.

Also would it have any advantage over overcome's rom? And no disrespect to overcome because it's the first custom rom i've ever flashed and is the only reason I kept my tab. Love it.

Guessing i'm just asking if you or someone else could educate me on cm and specifically cm7.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] af974:
I'm up with this thread, i cannot donate for a Tab but i'll send some beers to Rodd.

All devices get the best from the kernel, with a good one your tab will be always fine, it's not all about a Rom.

Have i t remember when we all got smartass/interactive governors fot our tab?

Now, you can say "i don't use smartass" or" my tab currently has not Ext4 because i don't need it", i say, why wasting your time to come here and say that we don't need another dev?

Just my 2cents of course.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrammarFreak:
You can NEVER have too many devs.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
I'd sell my body to medical science and give the profit to the dev who would port it.

Well, either MIUI or HTC Sense. Those are the only things I miss from my Desire days.

CM7 is completely AOSP. Basically built from scratch for each major release (CM6 - CM7) then they add bacon ;) Tablet tweeks, different lock screens, theme chooser, custom brightness ssettings and loads of other things.

I don't see it as an amazing rom, more like stock, with goodies. I've never understood why people praise it all day. Its great yeah, but I don't see what's amazing about it. But Cyanogen is the Android custom roms/development forefather. He was one of the first to start it and hasn't stopped.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewb19:
Id donate up to thirty bones for a Sprint CM7 rom. I'd give any spare cash for that.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
How about a dev ports/creates the Trinity 14 kernal for the tab. Now that would be baaaadassss

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saber0091:
running cyanogenmod 7.1.0 RC0 on my NC.

i like it.

i hate the nook for android app from the marketplace.

when i ran nooter on my 1.2 stock, it left me with two launchers: b&n and zeam.

does that mean there might be a way to run dual launchers on cyanogenmod, with the 1.2 b&n stock launcher?

is this even possible or am i stuck looking at a dual boot scenario?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saber0091:
just found this quote. it has been my experience that any defensive wall can be scaled given enough time and ingenuity. anyone have additional information on these protective measures?
[Desire HD General] berserkerx87:
I am having a lot of issues with Rom manager. Whenever I create a backup and try to back it up it refuses to work. It acts like it worked. But when I try to restore to that backup it says MD5 mismatch. I am currently running a froyo leedroid rom. I have tried to flash over to a GB Leedroid rom and a Coredroid rom. Neither of them work.

It says finding update package

opening update package

can't open file bad.

I am seriously annoyed with rom manager WTF is the point in creating a damn backup if I can't restore it at a later point?
[Desire HD General] berserkerx87:
Now my sdcard will not mount says its is mounted as read only and it wont do a damn thing now...
[Desire HD General] berserkerx87:
Bump wondering how to check an MD5. Still wondering what is up with Rom manager. Silly question but am I having troubles because I bought a different memory card for the phone? I did a partition and wiped it but just not sure.
[Desire HD General] seanybiker:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml

use that to check the MD5. Obviously something getting corrupt along the way. I cant imagine its the memory card but Im not 100%. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will pop along shortly.
[Desire HD General] mikelyt:
Hi I'm pretty new here so I'm may be wrong about this, but could it be a problem with Froyo and GB? It's like using office 2010 and 2007 version, may not be backward compatible. But I may be wrong, just a a guess on my part.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Looks to me like you've got a flaky SD card, certainly I have no problems creating and restoring backups although I am on CM7 but that shouldn't make a difference, first off though make sure youre running the lastest ROM Manager and Clockwork versions then try a different SD card.
[Desire HD General] berserkerx87:
Okay I am still having issues with Rom manager. I tried putting in a new sd card and it will not mount to the system. I hit mount and it just pops back up saying its ready to remove. I now can't reboot into recovery nor flash clockwork recovery. It said an error occurred while flashing your recovery.

Also I really don't like that I can't even take a picture or use my camera because it says it can't save to the SD card due to insufficient file permissions. Yes I have done fix permissions in rom manager. But it still wont work..
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
have you tried to do it directly in CWM?

if so, try to flash a newer CWM version (through fastboot, ROM Manager is known to cause some problems).
[Desire HD General] sidon100uk:
Hello iam also having problems but i am have my DHD freeze at the splash screen when trying to enter recovery, any ideas please.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
ROM manager wouldn't prevent mounting of a new SD card, thats got to be a hardware issue or an issue with your current ROM, try flashing either a different custom ROM or a stock ROM if your SD card woes continue it's a hardware issue, if not it's a ROM issue but either way I think we can safely rule out ROM manager.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Try reflashing Clockwork recovery, either from Fastboot or from ROM manager.
[Desire HD General] sidon100uk:
Tried using ROM Manager but got nowhere so i followed this post and it worked first time http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003723 , it was great for new guys like me.

But thank you for your help.
[Desire HD General] berserkerx87:
I figured out what the problem was. Even though I had formatted that new sd card it still wouldn't mount so I formatted it on the computer and now everything is fine. I don't use that other sd card anymore. I guess it was really just a bad sd card. So a word of advice to everyone that not all sd cards are created equal!

Thanks for all the help everyone!
[Desire HD General] raze599:
Wise words there! I've been through 4 memory cards lol and each one broke. One after the other.

I use Rom Manager only to install CWM, and then I flashed all new rom by recovery from SD card.

Im using Cyanogen V7.1-RC1 and seems like LauncherPro doesnt sync my Facebook events to LauncherPro Calendar widget or normal Calendar like it used (Theres only option to sync contacts in settings) before.

Not sure if the problem occured with Nightly build 119 which I used before, but Im pretty sure it worked with that, and ofc. with Sense based roms.

Is the problem now with LauncherPro or with Cyanogen? Or maybe even with the Facebook app?

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mejorguille:
If you are having problems I really suggest running a fix_permissions from RM or from terminal, it solves most of my problems for me. I updated a few days ago but it suddenly changed for me too. The new news feed is pretty nice and I love how I can like comments now. Pages seem to be so-so but better than nothing. Chat actually seems to be working!

I don't use launcherpro but if I'm not mistaken, it uses its own client completely separate from the official facebook app so the new update shouldn't be affecting anything.

My TB (rooted and running VIRUS ROM) froze earlier and would not do anything until i pulled the battery. When I did it booted up but did so as if I did a hard reset and now gets stuck in the ANDROID splash screen and will not boot up at all. I dont know what happend but is this phone bricked?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymccoubrey:
What did u do to it to cause it bootlooping
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcodelinux:
First off, wrong forum.

Second, the answer is:

No. If you can get past the bootloader, then your not bricked.

Reflash the ROM (don't format /data) or just a new kernel and that should fix it.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagsofcole:
Boot the phone with power/vol down pressed…. will bootloader run?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludionis:
Please note: if you have a PG05IMG file in the root of your sd card, recovery will only allow you to run that update. I had to remove my card, insert it into a USB/micro-sd card reader, delete that file, then reboot phone with volume down. From there, you can choose recovery and flash appropriate files. If you don't have a microsd card reader, may need to put in another phone and tehter with USB to gain access to card files. Hope this helps.
