[Huawei Ideos X6] sandeeppandey:
Two months on my spice mi 410 and the touchscreen has started to act weirdly. Sometimes it becomes totally unresponsive and sometimes mistakes a glide as a tap and vice versa. Have tried stock froyo & gingerbread, TJ's RC2, CM7, MIUI but the problem still remains:mad:

It all started the day I flashed CM7 on it and the touchscreen has been like this ever since. Have tested it on all the kernels as well. The touchscreen is very laggy and it stutters quite a few times while scrolling through the app drawer. Answering calls is a pain as the slider keeps on going back from half screen.

I had a screen protector which I removed and the problem went away only to come back after an hour. I am really pissed as I am not even able to answer calls, any help would be greatly appreciated:(

P.S. I also gave the phone to the service centre and they returned it after 5 days saying nothing was wrong with the phone, I am going crazy:confused:
[Huawei Ideos X6] kshitij_bhatt:
it happend earlier with me to ... i also gave my phone for 15 days to the serive center... and when they returned the phone was still acting wierdly like sometime was typing automatically and all ... so i did one thing

i removed the screen guard...

got a touch screen cleaner solution ... and rubbed my screen for almost 1 hour...

<<<TADA>>> It worked... now still after one month touch is working fine.. try it.. :D:D
[Huawei Ideos X6] sandeeppandey:
Hhmmm......

will surely give it a try today and keep you posted about the developments...

should i take out the battery before following your procedure.....???

BTW thanks for your prompt reply, this forum is really full of helpful people.
[Huawei Ideos X6] haree:
hi

Yesteday i removed my screen gaurd and the screen going crazy stopped:eek:

so i can tell u 100% ud be happy with the phone on removing the screen gaurd

I flashed the rom 13D rooted it and removed the screen gaurd and at last the phone seems to be quit fine now:D.So go a head remove the Bl***dy screen protector :):D
[Huawei Ideos X6] kshitij_bhatt:
:) the problem actually was that screen gurad sometimes get air bubbles though which are not visible .. so when we touch the screen the bubble get pressure and try to move to other corner of screen that's why touch gives such auto typing errors

remember to click thanx if u find post useful ... it get counted yaar ;)
[Huawei Ideos X6] mysteriousboy87:
I have sweaty fingers, so slight sweat ruins the touch sense :(

And yeah no screen guard and cleaned touchsceen

Swyped from my MI 410 using XDA App
[Huawei Ideos X6] kshitij_bhatt:
i too have sweaty hands :o that's why i have got a cotton piece inside my phone's pouch and whenever i feel i clean it :):) keep a piece of cloth that comes with the screen guards ;) always with u if u use a capacitive touch screen... dont apply screen guards becoz airbubbles also make screen feel like its been touched ;) though it doesnt make any sense
[Huawei Ideos X6] sandeeppandey:
I tried ur formula and.............................. it worked.... :)

the screen is almost 90% normal and it is functioning normally except a few glitches now and then, just using for the last half an hour, will let you know how it goes after using it for a few days......

Thanx for helping me out buddy, I was all set to throw this phone at the wall, keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't go awry once again....

BTW did u succeeded in getting ur phone up and going..... saw ur bricked phone post...... all the best for that..... and once again thanx for helping me out.
[Huawei Ideos X6] kshitij_bhatt:
ya mine is bricked ... i submitted to the service center they said i will have to call them today in the morning then they will let me know the stats... hope piece would be replaced ;)
[Huawei Ideos X6] sandeeppandey:
finally the screen works but not without some innovations from my side....... :D

I noticed that after cleaning the screen it would work fine for half an hour or so and then again went back to its weird self, so I finally decided to try something new, cleaned the screen once again and then covered it with an transparent adhesive tape, the thinnest and clearest I could get in the market, and now it works like a charm.

I guess the screen had developed some deep love for the sweat from my sweaty fingers which was causing the problem to reoccur, been using it now for the whole day with heavy usage and it hasn't let me down till now...... :)

All's well now.... loving my phone all over again and ICE CREAM SANDWICH........ yumm.... :)
[Huawei Ideos X6] shri080:
Oh! god it was so nice to see this thread and so many smiles around :D Glad to know that ur fixed the problem :) :)

howz is ur phone now? is the touch working fine?? my screen has started acting weird too so will try out the methods mentioned here :) i have sweaty fingers too may be thats the reason.

but if i dont use a screen protector how will i keep the screen safe?? :P And could you please post a picture of the transparent adhesive tape u mentioned?
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
Yes... the sweat is the main problem... just keep the screen clean. As long the screen is clean, then it will act normal.

+ MIUI also will help :D
[Huawei Ideos X6] Entrana:
Ressurection

I dunno if anybody's gonna reply as the phone is a lost legacy now :crying:

But I broke the touchscreen over a year ago... and I miss the phone... so gonna do a digitizer replacement :D

Is the Huawei Ideos X6's digitizer component gonna be compatible with Spice CSL Mi410?? I know its the same phone... but there's a minor digitizer size difference i guess ( maybe also some touch driver issues?? ) :confused:

Anybody who's done the ditizer replacement for this device??

And I also do remember having wierd touchscreen issues.... Has anybody tried a matte screen guard??

I think it might just work... as matte works good even with sweaty fingers :)
[HTC Sensation] Wond3r:
Is the Sensation an upgrade?

So I do like my Atrix but I have the chance to do a straight trade for a Sensation.

I love Sense and would like a better camera.

Atrix does have 16gb vs the Sensation and its 8gb card, but I hardly have any space used up on mine. Its just photos and apps that are taking space pretty much - maybe 4 songs.

I dont use webtop. I like knowing the Atrix has the HDMI out and for the sensation - it has the option to do it but you need to buy the adapter cable. As much as I like the thought of that feature, I havent even used it yet lol.

I know the battery life on the Atrix is obviously better. I would buy a spare battery for the Sensation though and just keep it in my wallet just in case, like I used to do with my Motorola Milestone. The battery isnt very big.

Both have the same resolution and qhd.

The ROM support on the Atrix is lacking, and it looks very populated on the Sensation.

My girlfriend has the Desire which I have ROM'ed for her and its ROM support is very active and up to date for a phone of that age - I can expect the same for the Sensation?

Anything about the Atrix that is worth keeping over the Sensation?

Anything about the Sensation that should warrant the trade to it?

Thanks guys

Also I am Very worried abou the dust under screen issue I keep reading all over the internet about with this phone!

Right now the Sensation is pretty much brand new and hardly used, with no dust yet.

I wouldnt know how to prevent the dust from getting under there.

edit : Im in Canada, so the US provider war doesnt apply either lol
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
What is funny is that I was thinking of selling my Sensation and getting a Atrix... but my co-worker asked me if I was insane.

He then pointed me to level of ROM work being done for Sensation, HD, EVO, Inspire and said the development environment for this HTC lineup is far superior to the MOTO lineup.

However... i'd wait off buying an Atrix until google does what it wants with Motorola Mobile and see if Google can make a kick ass phone with great support.
[HTC Sensation] Wond3r:
Why were you thinking of going tot he Atrix?

Any more feedback?
[HTC Sensation] yetep:
One word. One, word.

Yes.

I've had atrix, sgs2 and sensation. Sensation is the best by a country mile.
[HTC Sensation] Wond3r:
Any reason that the Sensation is better?

Is there dust on the inside of your screen?
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
See? It's all opinion. If you can, go play with the phones and quickly test them yourself, I would choose the SGS2 over my sensation if I could.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Make like a frog and leap to the S4G! :)
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
No dust underneath the screens of the two Sensation's I've owned.
[HTC Sensation] Wond3r:
I hope some of you guys are not just saying to take the leap because you own one haha
[HTC Sensation] infamousjax:
sensation is the better phone... the community support and superior HTC build quality makes it a no-brainer. Also, Sense is much better than *blur.
[HTC Sensation] thegregulator:
I live in Canada and I made the exact same trade. I really enjoyed my Atrix but the bigger screen (and nicer screen) and better build quality of the Sensation was enough of a bonus to sacrifice the extra internal storage and extra ram of the Atrix. I never used the hdmi port on the Atrix and the lapdock got old very quickly. I have found battery life to be quite similar between the two devices, with a slight edge going to the Atrix. The dev community is much bigger for the Sensation and I like Sense infinitely better than Blur, which was another reason why I justified making the trade. I should mention that I managed to get some dust underneath the screen of my Sensation, but I work in a very dusty environment so it was my own stupid fault for using it. All in all, I'm happy with my decision. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] Wond3r:
I think I may be leaning towards the trade now. I do feel bad about my phone case though, I got a kiwi Ringke casefor the atrix that I love but they don't have them for the sensation yet.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
No. Get the Amaze. More RAM, Better Camera, more memory and better front facing camera and same candy bar build.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
The trade he's considering isn't an Amaze. It's sensation, or no trade. Your suggestion is irrelevant.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaiKroll:
I have been trying to this for days. Custom artist backgrounds for those poor singers (such as LIGHTS and Dev) who don't have them. I thoguht I'd try a few things and I found an interesting file/place on the phone thanks to the USB Store enabler.

I happened to find place on my phone under "Computer\Jamie's Samsung Focus\Storage\Artists" but I can't find a program to open the .ART files in the folder. They have all the artists name and I'm wondering if I've hit the jackpot (found where the backgrounds are stored)

Can someone tell me if I have hit the jackpot here, and how I might go about adding the art in .art format?

[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
hi.. after following the instructions on how to downgrade my phone, and obtain root, i have, and after i had my foryo rooted, i downloaded RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2 because my original intent was to have a rooted gingerbread and it didn't make much sense to have roms provided by htc itself.

but now i see i don't have root, so oops, i guess i was wrong.

so do i have to go though the whole kaka procedure again, and then find a custom rom, because my end game, is to have as close as possible a rooted gingerbread as close as possible to the original HTC rom. where can i get one?

oh, and what's the difference between the asia and wwe? does any of them handle hebrew bidi writing correctly (without applying the patch?)
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
I think there is a way to root gingerbread, or you have to downgrade. At either rate, you want to get to a place where you can flash your own ROM. Having clockworkmod installed would be just fine.

Then you would take the stock gingerbread, extract and unzip it, add Superuser and su, make the boot insecure, repack it for flashing, flash via CWM, and presto- rooted stock gingerbread. If you want to build in hebrew bidi writing, you can add that too.

There might be a few rooted stock gingerbread roms out there, but it seems that the trend is toward cooked up versions, rather than stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
AFAIK i don't there's a way to root gingerbreak, it's un-rootable, that's why i downgraded in the first place. i think i can do it again, question is:

where do i find the stock gingerbread rom? is it in the RUU exe? if so, how get it out from there, without installing it

second, how on earth would i do all the things you said (add su,make boot insecure,repack,flash cwm).

is there a guide out there for all there above?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
I think there is a some software for windows that will allow you to extract the rom from the RUU. I don't use windows, so I don't know anything about it. I've seen some posts about it, so I can say it seems to involve using the RUU to almost install the ROM, but at the last minute, just stop and the ROM will be extracted into one of the temp directories. You just use the RUU to extract the rom, not install it.

As far as all those other steps, I think all the information is scattered about xda.

Here's some information about the insecure boot image. It's for the transformer, but it's essentially the same thing, except for the blob parts. You'll have to use something like splitbootimg or bootunpack, and mkbootimg (search for them) instead of blobunpack.

As for the other parts, you can use some of the other updates and zip files as a guide to figure out how to unpack, mod them, and repack them. I think there might be a rom kitchen script that will do this too, but I can't speak to that either.

Sorry if this sounds so complex- it's not that bad once you've done it once. I have a rooted stock GB that I made this way from the GB update, but it's the US version. Let me know when you have the WWE version extracted.
[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
ok, let's take it one step at a time, (maybe we'll make a guide out of it :)

i activated the but i never continued instead i used process explorer to find out which files it's holds, so i got the temp directory and extracted rom.zip a 260 mg file (containing various img files)

now what?

btw is this relavent? http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

yea, i've seen it is, but one issue is that where do i get the cpio and makebootfs, (if i need to compile stuff, this is where i stop, i allready downloaded the perl scripts, as well as GZIP
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
ok, so far so good.

That link is exactly what you need. You can use that info to unpack the boot.img and make it insecure "ro.secure=0" by editing the default.prop file in the ramdisk.

I think some of the links to the tools might not work, but these will work instead - https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BootTools

Use the guides to mod and then repack the ramdisk

put the kernel and the modded ramdisk back together with makebootimg. There might be some specific command lines and kernel addresses- the hdrboot tool will show you want they should be from the original boot.img

Also, could you upload the zip file or PM me a link? This would be a perfect project for a guide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
ok wait, which tools am i missing? i have a windows machine (ultimate 7 64 bit) and the boottools needs to be compiled, (i don't have developer studio installed just eclipse)

so far i have the following tools:

repack-bootimg.pl

unpack-bootimg.pl

split-bootimg.pl

cpio for windows

gzip

what zip file?

(i'm going to sleep now as i'm in israel,i will "boot" in 6 hrs, luckily i have a vacation tommorow, so i hope we'll have time to finish this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
I think you might need gunzip to extract the ramdisk. unzip might work, but I'm not sure with Windows.

The zip is the rom.zip which has the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
I seem to recall there being at least 2 rooted stock ROMs in the dev forum. I think the one I've used was posted by either suilmagic (may be siulmagic), or rmk40. Xboarder56 posted one some time ago, but he started stripping things out that I used, like QuickOffice. If nothing else, this finally drove me to use Titanium backup...
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
Yeah, I guess a search would take some of the fun out of it....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169004
[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
actually i DID google "rooted stock rom desire z"

but i could find anything for sure, that's why i posted this, is this rom appear in the developer list of roms linked in the downgrade wiki? because i couldn't find it there either, would be nice if it was added.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
No worries- I didn't actually search for it- I just paged through some of the dev sections.

I think you'll have flash it using CWM recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
great, i'm assuming CWM is Clockwork something?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
Yup- look for the 3.x version. There was a 5.x, but i think it has some issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
ok, so now, i must re-downgrade, root,

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery

get rom manager, and ah... wait, what's the update.zip? is that actual image i need to place on the sdcard?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
That wiki seems kinda old- I don't think the stock recovery will flash the update.zip

This is more up to date and specific for the G2/DZ:

[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
yea i've read that one (that's how i rooted in the first place.

isn't there a way to short ciruit this somehow and instead of pc10img have the update itself installed ? or is it because it's a an OTA, i have to do the whole thing?

looking at the image, i think i'm missing someting it looks like i can somehow use the scripts inside the image when i get temp_root (meaning i won't have to update the original image. am i wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z General] emaayan:
ok i've gone through the motions over and over, finally rooted it, have rom manager, clicked flash recovery, copied the zip file for rom i wanted to the root of sdcard, selected it rom manager, rebooted, now i selected apply update from sdcard,

now i see the hat signal and nothing happens, (i also selected backup rom and wipe cache and data)

i also noticed that i have install zip from sdcard, but i didnt' select it, how long should it take?

ok i FINALLY managed to install (it actually i pressed power button again and immdietly returned the cwm main menu, from then on, i chose reboot, i think it's moved on.

problem is, some things looked odd, for example the phone bar on the buttom, looks distorted, when i click on the application list i can only see half the list (meaning half the screen shows the list although i can scroll up and down the buttom half remains blank..

never mind it's ok now after re-boot..

btw i tried creating a batch file like so:

adb shell cat /dev/msm_rotator

rem expected output

rem /dev/msm_rotator: invalid length

pause

rem temp_root

rem adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp

rem adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

adb reboot bootloader

but it didn't workout so much:(, don't know why it said something about it couldn't write recovery img file
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Umm if you already rooted via the xda wiki then you should've had a bootloader that was engineering s-off right? Just saying because you could've flashed a custom rooted rom through bootloader and not had to re-root, that is unless the ruu applied an updated bootloader with s-on. Maybe boot into bootloader and see if the top line says PVT ENG S-OFF, worth a look anyway, could save you some headache

Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread but I recently purchased a 32GB Micro SD and it has an issue when I go to write stuff to it via USB from phone or adapter into front of PC.

When I put things onto it only certain things stay. For example, when I copy my music folder # - Bs get written on it and if I try to put on pictures nothing happens.

It goes through the process as if it is writing the files but then they go away whenever I remove the device.

Any ideas or thoughts?!?!?
