i think you'll loose the CRT screen off if you flash it
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallardo5:
as it`s said in the title, my touchscreen in Xperia Arc S is getting crazy during USB connecting. sometimes it just doesn`t work, sometimes behaves like I`ve putted two fingers on it, but I`m holding only one finger, sometimes just some area on screen works and some not. is there any way to fix that? i`ve got bootloader locked, so i can`t get root. I found this problem in every bulid I`ve tried.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer_boxer:
I think this is a charger or Voltage or usb-cable's problem. you can change a usb-cable to try it again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallardo5:
but if I`m putting my USB cable to a wall socket`s charget it`s ok, only during PC-USB charging this problem is appearing:(

and BTW I`ve not got any spare cable to try it. will try it tomorrow with my mom`s, dad`s and sister`s cables and let know is that ok or not;)

edit: I`ve tried with another USB cable and still got this problem. normal charging is ok but PC-USB charging causing problem.:(:(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SEK610i:
HI, I have the same problem on arc S. Is there any solution yet?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zangetsu2188:
Mine's on reverse. No problem when PC-USB charging, touch screen gets crazy the other way. I have this problem since I bought the phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Yes, charge it via wall charger :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SEK610i:
Beside that :D ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
This, on wall charger it randomly registers a second touch.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taaviu:
If this problem happening only when phone is connected to pc and sd card mounted then I guess its app2sd bug something.

If only in charge mode then you cable is maybe "old"
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
I'm guessing it's internal current leak. There's nothing you can do about it, other than getting another phone. :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingWickedd:
Its probably because your laptop/computer has an "unearthed plug" (a plug with only two pins) whereas,your phone charger has earthed plug (3 pin plug).

The 3rd pin is to push out the excess current/voltage from your device to the ground and that is the reason you dont experience multiple-touches when you connect your charger directly to sockets. Simple as that. :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xerox89:
Or because of capacitive touch screen nature reaction on different voltage ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
0-87809

ya it happens only through the power supply and voltages problem..

it happens many times often...

i noticed that problem in indian trains..that when i did charging in train.it happens

and sometimes the battery also gets severly damaged through it..

so BEWARE..!!:o
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallardo5:
I found the best solution ever....... just sold my Xperia and bought HTC Sensation :D

but for other people, I just had pre-beta version of Windows 8, which has a looooooooooooooooooooooooot of bugs, I reinstalled Windows 7 and all problems gone. And ether USB devices was getting crazy as well, so that must be something with USB port, not phone. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
Howdy guys,

I found that there was a small amount of "noise" on the 5v line comming from my charger. and that was causing the touchscreen to fritz. :)

i tested using my osciliscope.

you'll prob find that the 5v line from you laptop is dirty. and the arcs internals cant filter it out. i dont know if prolonged use can cause dammage tho but i would advise against it. :)

so charge it from a stable source.

Pvy.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soumya_digi:
The same problem happens only when I connect my phone via HDMI to a TV! And it's annoying!:mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcyber:
i have the same Problem too if i charge my LT15i with the Charger from a HTC Wildfire. At First i thought it has something to do with CM7 but now , on Arconium its still the same.

Fortunately my phone charges normal on the USB Port of my PC in the Company :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
I would say that if you get this problem using the original charger in any wall socket, try another charger if possible otherwise have both your phone and charger examined at a repair center.

If you get this problem charging via USB from a laptop or connecting via HDMI to a TV, check if the same problem appears during charging through a wall socket.

Basically you will have to check if the grounding problem is located in the charger, phone or other devices like a laptop or TV.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SEK610i:
Hi, do you work at SE?

And I tried now and I also have this problem when conected to TV. So my problem is connecting to TV and to PC, but not when charging over wall socket.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
Yes I work at SE. :)

In that case it seems that something changes the ground in your TV and PC.

Do you have any problems when the phone is not connected to anything?

Because if it works properly when connected to the charger via wall socket I don't think it's a problem with the phone or charger.

You could try to disconnect some other equipment from the TV when you connect your phone to see if this might be caused by some other equipment like antenna cable, sattelite dish, DVD or Blueray players etc.

Hey mate, i have the same problem but i have it when i plug it on the socket, charging on the pc is just fine. . I can't touch the screen, if i try it always starts calling random contacts. . [I fixed this by not plugging it into the socket.]

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
Is your wall socket a grounded? If yes, try another charger to see if there could be any problems with your original charger.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dpal:
I use original SE charger and original SE USB cable, and touchscreen make me cry when i plug phone to charger.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
But no tears when you charge via USB (computer) or using another charger?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dpal:
No tears if i ont use original SE cable nor charger. Great puzzle from SE. But why?!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
In that case contact your local support team to see if you can have the charger and cable replaced.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SEK610i:
No, when my phone isn't conneted to anything I haven't got any problems:) I will disconect all other stuff from TV and try again later.

So if you work at SE i would need one reliable information :D

If I unlock bootloader "offical way" and then re-lock it back, is my warranty void or not?

Tnx
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
If you unlock the boot loader you will void your warranty.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SEK610i:
Hello again. Today I have discovered sometheing new (at least, I don't think it was mentioned before in this thread). If I connect Arc's USB cable to phone, and then with other end of the cable I just touch USB port on my ASUS laptop screen goes crazy (without actualy "connecting" phone to laptop). But if I then just touch USB port (the part between USB port and cable) screen works normal again. I know it isn't actually usable, but it is interesting.

I hope you understand what I meant. If you don't I can make video.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue-88:
I think that's because of wrong voltage from your USB
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sokolas:
I've got a similar problem with my device: when I connect it to the charger it works fine, but when connected to USB port the screen behaves crazy. I've found a temporary solution: if I touch the case of my computer with one hand and the screen of the phone with the other, everything works fine :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sg.bullets:
I just installed this screen protector in 5 minutes, no bubbles, streaks or imperfections. It fits great with the case. Highly recommend this combo. Phone is protected all around now.

Hard to tell there is a screen protector. Pics do not do this justice. Bought mine off Amazon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookitzjohnny:
let me buy your 2nd one off of you i live north of you in hayward!

i'm just kidding im ordering mine as we speak
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VICosPhi:
Wow how did you do that? I got them today and tried putting on it was installed perfectly then the D3O case caused bubbles in top right corner. The only way around this was to cut the top right and left corners off. Does yours not form bubble even when you hit power key?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sg.bullets:
If I hit power thr SP doesn't pop up/bubble at all. It might be the case. This ebay case had some space to allow a SP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkness122:
looks awesome, mind linking where you bought those two things off of amazon? every TPU case I find seems to only be for the AT&T model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VICosPhi:
I think he got the case from ebay and screen protector from amazon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] likeaferio:
Same here.

Realook + D3O = bubbles on the corners.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] esdwa:
Awesome. This is what I have been waiting for. Will shop today. Thanks!

Update.

Wait a minute. Amazon does not seem to have one that would fit my phone. The one I saw is for intl version of SGS2 not for US T-Mobile version. Are they out there yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rudiepoo1:
Damn, this could be a deal breaker. I was thinking about going with this one instead of the Zagg but not sure now. I'm a D30 owner as well and currently have the bubbles with the crappy T-Mobile SP.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] esdwa:
Realook was a MISTAKE

Ordered from Amazon ($12), received and applied Realook screen protector just today, I was able to make it right first time. Indeed it looked awesome.

Big dissapointment came when I inserted a phone back to D3O cover. The tight cover edges are snapping against the screen protector edge all around the screen causing protector to come off on these edges.

They should put a warning that with this protector you may not be able to use your phone case. Waste of time and money, unless you want to use your phone "naked". Not me, filed a claim on Amazon want my money back. Tight fit is a big mistake. I will hunt for the protector which has some edge exposed like on my old Vibrant.

:mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sablemonster:
That may be more of an issue with the D30 case then the screen protector. Every time I put the D30 case on mine, it causes bubbles on the t-mobile screen protector. I only use the case at work now, until I find a slimmer one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rudiepoo1:
I would recommend a ghost armor sp. I experienced the same issue with the old t-mobile sp and my D30. Switched over to the ghost armor which has a little room all the way around the screen so in turn works out much better with the D30. Of course it's a much better sp as well!:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
is that screen protector anti finger prints and oily fingers??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] esdwa:
No, it is clear unvisible protector so anything that stays on bare screen will be seen on the protector.

I never use those anti-smear protectors because they just make screen fuzzy. I am not paying for a high resolution screen smartphone to get it screwed up by some cheezy protector shield. But I understand it works for some people and I respect it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hyelton:
Is there anyway to have this. U know the white like on eclair and froyo?? I'd prefer that over the dark black of gingerbread. I know.it would probably have something to do with the framework bbut could anyone? Someone had done it for atrix on gingerbread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
The white notification bar will murder the screen and be burnt into the screen in no time.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] DKSE:
It's not a matter of if, but how it can be done; as any Alltel phone can be flashed over to Verizon.

I want this rom too.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DB13:
You posted this in the wrong section, you shouldve have posted this in the Q&A Section champ
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
To actually answer the question. I believe that V will only provision a phone that has an serial/esn/imei that originates in their system, same with Sprint iirc. I could be wrong.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DKSE:
A rom, or a patch compatible with roms in this section will be required to do this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DKSE:
I have flashed a Sprint Touch Pro to Verizon. The ESN may not be in their system but the phone will program if the other settings match. It is not illegal to tamper with the settings that need to be changed. And you are right that Verizon employees will not provision the phone for me, which is why we have *228 :P. Here: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/htc-touch-pro/120970-sprint-touch-pro-verizon.html is the tutorial for flashing a Sprint Touch Pro to Verizon. Perhaps somebody here could figure out how differently things would need to be done for the Hero? And as I understand the Droid Eris is Verizon's slightly different version of the Hero. I've already tried and Eris roms will not flash, but they would likely be useful.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bierce22:
no it can not be done legally so we cant help you and you posted this in the wrong section. the only way this can be done is to clone the esn witch is highly illegal and a big no no on xda this has been asked several times before not only in the hero forums but on just about every other forum as well so you shouldve searched fist.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrhost:
just call *228 1 and set it up on the account. it is a CDMA phone, I don't see why it wouldn't work. nothing illegal about that at all.

did I miss a part where you took it in to verizon and asked them to put it on your line or have you not tried that yet?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stovepipe:
Verizon, no. Pageplus... yes. =-)

All alltel phones will activate on Pageplus, a Verizon MVNO. And, 90% of the time, EvDo (data) will work, too. Since the MEID isn't a Verizon MEID, you'll have to call them to do it (online activation won't allow it), but a customer service rep will.

Once the phone is active, you dial *22890, and it'll program. If it doesn't, you can manually program the phone. Just be aware that if you're flashing a Sprint ROM on an Alltel device (the HERO is made for both carriers), MMS can be tricky.

I have an Alltel Hero on Pageplus, and everything (even MMS) works.

Pageplus now offers a plan with 3G Data, too. Check em out.

I have had a lot of problems in the past when transferring files using a USB extension, Samsung docking station, or anything else inline from the PC’s USB port. Try hooking your Samsung USB cable to the back of your pc (motherboard connection). Don’t put anything else on the cable (extensions, etc).

[Acer Iconia A500] samstheman42:
So, I recently purchased a new Motorola bluetooth keyboard for my tablet, and I'm going a little mad with the fact that I can't figure out how to use other keyboard layouts from QWERTY. In particular, I'd like to use Dvorak, but the closest solution that I can come up with is to try to remap the keys. I've seen a few other posts on remapping keys on other devices, but I can't seem to find anything that relates to the usual letter keys. Everything out there seems to be for launching apps or something else.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I'm sure that I'll have to edit some root files, and I'm ok with doing that, but I'd like to have a decent idea of what I'm doing before I go messing around with things that I don't fully understand.

Thanks in advance,

-Sam
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Try adding a vendor/product id file for your keyboard in /system/usr/keylayout/ with the desired mapping of the keys. Should work for usb keyboards (haven't tried it yet), probably will work for bt ones too.
[Acer Iconia A500] samstheman42:
I'd be happy to put the time into doing that, but I have no experience in how to do that. Can you point me in the right direction so I can learn/ figure out how to do that?
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Well I haven't done that myself but it might help looking at the generic file. From what I understand you have to map the whole keyboard with the key functions you'd like. For example when you press 'q' you might want to have 'a' coming on the screen. The hard part is guessing the key numbers (it's easy for the letters - they are in the generic file, but special keys like ctrl, alt, win, etc. are harder to find) and finding your product/vendor id. As I said that should work with usb keyboards, but I'm not sure at all if that's the right approach for bt ones. Try google before wasting your time on something that might not work at all - someone must have bumped at the same case as you.

So, I've tried to follow the directions from that tutorial as closely as I can and I keep having problems. It seems like every time I try to edit the .kl file for my keyboard it doesn't work at all. It's definitely pretty frustrating spending a bunch of time editing the key and command codes for every button to find out that it didn't even do anything.

Anybody figure this out yet? I'm really struggling.

If it helps, I can try to break down what I've done so far in another post, but I'm at like 3.5 hours on this project alone tonight and don't feel like I've really gotten anywhere with this.
[Acer Iconia A500] samstheman42:
Gah, now I feel like an idiot. I was doing it right the whole time, the one crucial step that I messed up in the process was deleting the old .kl before pasting the new one in.
