[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
Okay so.. I have an answer to my problem.. this is a problem that i had encountered many times in forums while i was looking for my answer.. big thanks to diablo2224 for his help and a thanks goes out to Cranvis for actually replying at all..

Okay so the home button wasn't working at all and it would flash and basically do zero (im sure this fix would help any buttons if this was the case). In the end i didnt have much to lose the home button not working was giving me the 'sheets' so i just tried to flash most things for wifi xoom as i was hoping it would crack a difference but it didnt... i ended up seeing a post from stachre for an update and in it was there he had pointed to stock motorola files.. i grabbed these and preformed all wipes (user data, cache, delvik - i doubt it would do much but i did it anyway).. using fastboot i then flashed the boot.img, the system.img, the userdata.img and finally the recovery.img (can always flash over the CWM anway so not a big deal) and booted it back up... suprise suprise the home button was perfectly functional again (every other update/flash of software would seeming 'update' and not actually flash to that portion of the device thereby leaving my problem and the stock images must have actually hit these sectors) i know my answer is long but just trying to be helpful to anyone else with this type of problem (stock Xoom WiFi MZ604 HWI69 images from Motorola)

as a side note : this was followed by flashing the CWM again and booting into CWM and flashing the 2.1 hammer and then wiping user data and booting into the freshly updated rom stoked!

okay it seems the home button is not working at present. i have wiped all data and cache and dalvik cache a thousand times and tried reflashing, etc still to no avail. does anyone have any more ideas? its painful to push the back button a million times to get anywhere lol
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cranvis:
ok, so a few questions.

I am guessing it is rooted so my questions are:

What ROM are you using?

Have you tried other ROMs?

Have you been experiencing this problem since you installed the rom?

have you downloaded anything (APP, Live Wall Paper, a random APK File) before this happened?

Are you using a screen protector on the Xoom?

~If yes to the last question, is there any air bubbles or dirt in that area of the button?

~If no to last question, are you aware of any dirt or scratches in that area?

Have you tried the Home tab in Landscape as well as Portrait mode?

Have you just recently updated to a OTA that was pushed out by either Motorola/Verizon/etc?

There could be many possible reasons as to why this is happening... and I would like to help you (and who ever posts afterwords) to fix this situation. I or someone else on this board will respond as soon as possible to your problem and I hope this post helps to solve the problem :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
Okay mate ill answer each question firstly i was on the manta ray with update rom.. Everything was fine i was able to use it perfect as normal no updated apks no new apks.. I was fine i cam home from work seen the update so downloaded check the md5 and did all wipes as instructed in the tiamat 2.1 rom.. I had previously installed the kernal for that the day prior and was running great.. I tried reinstalling the previous rom again after a few reflashes of the 2.1 hammer and wiped that see if the button would come back to no avail..

I have a screen protector but it is fine i was using it for days prior wirh not 1 hiccup so that is definately elimated.. No pushed updates.. I went through all otas already before i flashed the manta ray stuff and as i said that was fine all the other buttond beside it work like tje back menu and switcher just the home does nothing

Cheers

Josh
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cranvis:
Thank you for the speedy reply to my questions. And I am sorry to say, this is one that is over my head. I would suggest that you go to Tiamat's (Or current ROM's) maker and inquire for their help. I am new to some of this but I thought I should at least ask you the basics and make sure on everything. (Woo A+ Tech Training haha!) But unfortunately, I cannot help you with this problem because I do not know what could be doing this other then maybe a line of code didn't get placed into memory when the device was flashed, or maybe there is a small error in the code itself and only certain devices have this problem (different model number = slightly different change to the chip-sets and code of the device.) There are many things that could be the trouble, and like i said, unfortunately, they are out of my understanding of the device.

I do hope that you are able to get an answer soon to your question and I hope it is a simple answer.

Sorry I could not help any more :( but I hope others can! :)

Good Luck :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
I reported this issue once before when I was using Xoom Zone a month or so ago. I hadn't wiped data, and it was like the home button was there just to look pretty. You could click it, it would highlight, but it was broken. If anything, I can be of service as I have had this issue once before.

I will need more info though. Do you restore data and try to hit the home button, or do you try the home button after a fresh data wipe without restoring data? It's hard for me to explain what I want you to explain, but...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
A fresh data wipe mate exactly as the hammer rom thread instructed to do. No restore of data as i wanted to start fresh as i find less problems arise when u try to recover too much data and as the thread specifically called for a wipe i was more than obliging lol
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
I see. I've never heard of this version of the problem. My problem occurred when updating from the 3.1 Rom to the 3.2 Rom. I only had this problem because I didn't wipe data the first time because after it booted up I thought all was well... until I discovered the home button was broken... lol. ;)

Anyways, even I'm at a loss here for how we can solve your problem. A simple data wipe resolved mine in a heartbeat... but it seems your problem is still persistent even after a clean data wipe install... interesting... can't say that I've ever seen a problem stay in the memory even after a complete data wipe...

The only thing I can suggest is to maybe drop back to a stock Rom, maybe 3.1, then installing Tiamat from that fresh stock Rom with another clean data wipe before and after. That's all I can think of since after a data wipe it's still there. Good luck!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
I dropped back to manta still with the issue.. Would a nandroid recovery possibly help fix as it takes precedence over an update cuz thwn someone maybe be able to help
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
That might help. I can help as much as I can, but...

Try to go full stock first before anything. Do not use Tiamat for right now. Install a completely stock, but rooted 3.1 Rom is what I suggest for you to do so that you can see if it's still giving you troubles on a stock Rom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
I tried that from the other thread and gained a bootloop.. Maybe stock 3.1 recovery and not just an update more to the point where would i find such? I only used otas as i was just speeding process to get to 3.2 to start flashing customs
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
I dunno man, I'm usually one who has great helpful answers, but... uh, this one stumps me. Like I said, I've never seen a problem that still persisted after a data wipe. It's almost as if it is much deeper than a data wipe, but more like something has locked itself into your Xoom's memory and won't leave without forcing it out manually... something must be messing with your system files or something like that. Possibly something left over from the OTA updates of some sort maybe. Very strange...

I would pass this by Team Tiamat. Sorry I can't help this time. Good luck!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
I need a nandroid i think from someone
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
So you want someone to have a completely data wiped nandroid backup of the latest Tiamat Rom so that you can use that? That should work, especially if the backup has everything working perfectly. By having the ability to use nandroid backups you have nothing to lose since it can be restored very easily.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
im not picky i would like a nandroid of any rom really mate... as long as the home button was working... so basically from a wifi US xoom (if compatibility was an issue) and the rest was okay yeh that would be great... i dont know anyone else with one here in AUS so someone here would have to help me out

p.s i have already tried the one from the dev thread of the stock 3.2 but that is bogus and doesnt really work for anyone and it didnt for me
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
I have a 3G Xoom, but I can make a data wiped clean nandroid backup for the latest Tiamat Rom, which I am running since Tiamat supports 3G and Wifi models alike. I can do that after work tomorrow if you would like me to...

Or you could find someone who has the Wifi model and do that.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
thanks for ya help... i solved my problem and edited my first post

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
its not off, it's underclocked so low it can't even wake up the screen, higher your min clock speed to 600 and see if it still happens, of try removing setcpu or that other one that starts with a T.. whichever you use
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZagatoDB7:
I have the same problem, instead of switching off it just reboots, even if I power off from recovery.

What kernel are you using. I'm using Ninphetamine 2.0.5, with VillainROM 2.4.2, with Black Android Theme.

I'd rather not pull the battery, after seeing how flimsy the battery cover when I put it on first, I decided I'd try to avoid fiddling with it if at all possible
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:

Well let me tell you about a little secret: if you hold the power button for 10 seconds the phone will shutdown instantly no matter what.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanvdd:

Doesn't work: it turns off, stays off for 2 seconds en boots up again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casastr:
I got same problem. Never flashed, never rooted. Got original 2.3.3.

I think I#ll try to flash it to fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotacus:
got a similar problem. probably not related. after unplugging it from a full charge, the phone kept making the "USB connected" sound. when turned off, it would do one of two things: display the big battery charging indicator while flashing the overheat indicator or turn itself back on.

while powered on, the battery icon will change from charging to not charging. I checked the USB socket and doesn't seem to be malfunctioning and there isn't anything shorting out the contacts. so far now, the battery level is at 87 percent after 48 minutes not in use. and now it's not making the sound anymore. I suppose the battery is malfunctioning.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unixunderground:
I got a mixed-up thing of the issues on this topic..

When I take off the power socket, the symbol that shows "charging" remains there, and also, it is completely impossible to turn off the phone..

Whenever I turn it off, hard, or standard mode, it turns on again after 2 seconds..

And even if I remove the battery, I put it on again, and then it's back on in 3 sec....

Uh, and when I plug the charger in, when the battery is completely discharged, I have to take it out and back in , several times, before anything appears on screen, and even when it does, there is a temperature warning sign , and a yellow one which usually appear...

I'm getting very frustrated since I just paid 5000 nok (920 USD) for this phone..

And while I really begun to like Android, I guess I'll have to switch back to iPhone with a 4S, or to some better android device, since yes, the gs2 is cool , but I can't stand such issues, since I do run business things, and the phone is of vital importance for me, and not just a console/browsing crap.

Has anyone got any solution on this issue?

It would be crap if I had to send it to service, since it would take a lot of time, and I would have then to buy another temporary phone in the meanwhile...

PLEASE, HELP!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parker7:
I had this problem, i cleaned the USB port out but that didn't stop it, but i think it helped. I then drained the battery to nothing and it has now stoppped. It's a battery problem, as it didn't switch off like it does when it hits low battery it just died. The battery readings were also inacurrate and every now and then it would do a weird thing like flashing it was charging, but it wasn't. I tried software etc.. and clean wipe before i tried the hardware, so it wasn't the rom i was running. I think the battery is on it's way out, so I've bought a new one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otacon4781:
Did this actually help? I had all the symptoms everyone has been describing and sent it to Samsung for repair. Their response was that the phone was stuck trying to download a PRL update, but as soon as I got the phone back from them and charged my battery to 100%, removing the phone from the charger caused everything to start again. I'm not entirely sure it is the battery, but have no other ideas.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfelix:
USB charging port is dead.

Buy a new one on ebay and replace it.

Hi all.

Had similar problems about one month after getting my s2. I have unlocked sim card, rooted it and flashed some kernel, shyah i think. And left it with stock rom (Android 4.0). As it was under warranty i reverted completely to stock and took it to the carrier. After one day got it back but they said it had no problem. The fact is that i could in fact turn it off again. After a few days it was back so i flashed a custom rom (resurrection remix at that time) and never had it again.

Now I'm with alliancerom and apolo kernel for a few months and never had it again.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
I am currently trying my hand at creating a CM7 Theme Chooser theme with a rainforest feel. What I'm not sure is whether I should make it greenish and design it like a bright and colorful forest in the daytime or make it blue and cast it as a night sort of feel.

I'll probably end up doing both at some point, but which should be done first? Blue is overwhelmingly the most popular color for visual overhauls so I'm inclined to make it that, but for a nature theme it seems like green would be more appropriate. So I figured I'd just see what would be more popular.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
How about blue and green, too much of one color sucks, idk I think both are nature colors too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrZoth:
Both could be rad if done well. It's hard to pick without seeing them :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezavi8tr:
I have my live.com email account setup on the GT 10.1, and it has been working very well, both before and after the TW update.

However, for every email I receive with embedded graphics, I have to hit the button "show pictures" in order to see the email as it was intended. After the TW update, I have to hit the button "show more details" to get the full email. Most of the email I get is fairly rich these days, so it is a PITA to have to have to hit all these extra buttons when scanning my email. Is there any way to set up Mail so that it automatically shows all the graphics when the message is opened?

I dont care about the 'computer' inside there even, ideally I'd be interfacing as directly to the display as possible. I just can't find much raw data about the hardware itself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahlzahn:
Hi everyone,

I have some problems with my Desire and need your help, which is highly appreciated :)

I rooted my Desire (PVT4) a while ago and flashed AmonRa Recovery 2.0.1 in order to install CustomRoms. I used DeFrost 6.1 for quite some time before i flashed GingerVillain 2.7 and recognized the following issues:

If i open ConnectBot or TerminalEmulator, i always get "not found" or "permission denied". I.e. i wanted to ship the Dalvik Cache to my SD when i had GingerVillain installed and tried to get some more internal space. So I entered "su" in ConnectBot but it said "su not found". If i enter cat/proc/mtd to determine if it is S-off or on (i don't remember if i changed it) i get the same result..."not found"...

I have root access and i can flash ROM's etc. but i can't use any terminal commands... Furthermore, the Superuser-App told me that there is an update available but i can't install it. I can't flash the zip in the recovery ("Can't open su-2-3-1-bin-signed.zip") . So i tried updating using the app itself but now it says: Su binary voutdated...

Something's wrong in here...What can I do to fix this?

Current Settings:

Android 2.3.3

LeeDroid GB 3.0.8.2 (With HTC Sense, App2SD+ working fine)

Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

I had this problem since i switched to GingerVillain ROM and also now on LeeDroid GB. It should definitely work with GV, not sure bout LeeDroid though.

I installed SU Update Fixer, it says that there is no problem. I tried forcing a fix but the app is shut down... Superuser details: v2.3.6.3, Su binary v.2.3.1-ef

If i open Titanium Backup, it says busybox and root access ok. Busybox 1.18.4

Sometimes the superuser app/process just shuts down, too. After reboot it works again...something's just not totally right i guess.
