i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmease1:
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8trix:
I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.

it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.

Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmease1:
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmease1:
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.

Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
[myTouch 4G General] Skrillz:
Hey so, im a new member on XDA, (made a new account) >.< But i have a MT4G and the volume buttons broken on the bottom, So i cant turn it on. it goes to the hboot menu, and since the bottom volume rockers broken, i cant scroll down to recover to reboot it. So im kinda stuck here becuase it doesnt let you scroll with the top volume rocker unless you scrolled down already (which i cant)

If someone could help me boot it up (via computer usb cord.. etc etc) thatd be great. or just tell me a way to break it so its not jammed in anymore? without harming the actual phone itself. Thanks

:)
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Does adb reboot not work, or does the button override it?

You could always crack the phone open and work on the button itself. Look for a video on youtube regarding mytouch 4G disassembly.

Same problem

Hey so i am actually having the same problem, but im not sure if it is software or hardware.

Details:

-Got the phone and it was running Stock gingerbread.

-Downgraded to froyo and rooted

-Flashed a few custom roms and now it is giving me problems of pretty much thinking that the volume button is always being pressed or something because when i boot i either:

a. go straight into HBoot

b. boots but then Safe Mode

c. Boots but after awhile the system freaks out with volume self going down to vibrate and then i have to restrat

I've flashed stock img .zip (PD15img.zip) a few times and sometimes it got better but eventually back to issue. Only thing i haven't done is turn s-on. I might do that but i've ordered the flex to replace it but wont be here for two weeks so i let you know.

Let me know if anyone else knows whats up please.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

also when i do boot into HBoot and it allows me to use my rockers, i booted into CWM and did a key test and the volume down does not appear ever.

So have no idea if its software or hardware =(
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Can you fastboot reboot?
[myTouch 4G General] ChaosCao12:
If i do a battery pull and wait i can boot up normally, just did actually and then i can go thru the system fine but 5 minutes in it starts to freak with the volume down again. When in HBoot it freezes. But in OP he says that you can't move unless u volume down first, that isn't true i was able to scroll using volume up first. Sometimes HBoot freezes, sometimes it takes awhile then i can kind of scroll and either hit recovery or reboot (then chances are ill go into safe mode)
[myTouch 4G General] ChaosCao12:
attached my sys info

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

To boot it just try a battery pull and leave it out (overnight works best) and u might get booted, or when in hboot leave there for awhile and then keep pressin the rockers and sometimes eventually it will scroll and do recovery into cwm if u have it and then reboot system
[myTouch 4G General] Skrillz:
Okay so after 2 days of it booting into hboot, i came to the conclusion that after a little time (usually a 24 hours) it boots up, but the volume botton doesnt overpower the volume when the phones actually on (it doesnt lower volume) but when its off, it seems to be stuck and auto boot hboot. any ideas ? :/
[myTouch 4G General] ChaosCao12:
i have no idea what u did prior to all this but i've fixed mine so far. flashed the hboot 86 pd15img.zip. pretty much when u can get it to boot after the 24hours use the opportunity to flash the pd15img. currently trying to unroot it and turn s-on... but right now it is working fine and i am rooted on stock 2.2.1
[myTouch 4G General] ChaosCao12:
Update

So im guessing either OP gave up or somehow resolved and this is dead but hers update on mine.

Restored to stock 2.2.1 and hBoot 86 and then turned s-off back to s-on by rooting and then using gfree to turn s-on only. i couldn't restore usin the part7backup or whatever cause i lost it. anyways took a shot and then left phone without its battery for a few days. now it is running fine. have the spare flex in hand too so if it does mess up ill swap flex. if it stays good ill either sell it or try the whole process over again

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikosrs4:
I found the way how and I wanted to share it. I'm not advanced on that.

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk

2. Go to \res\values\dimens.xml

3. Change

<dimen name="status_bar_recents_thumbnail_width">XXX.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="status_bar_recents_thumbnail_height">XXX.0dip</dimen>

to your like.

4. Recompile

5. Use it :)

- You better leave the same proportions of the thumbnail width and height, or I guess they'll look weird. Approximately, it is at 1,13xxx.

- You can change the app title size by changing

<dimen name="status_bar_recents_app_label_text_size">XX.0dip</dimen>

- You can change the icon size by changing

<dimen name="status_bar_recents_app_icon_max_width">XX.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="status_bar_recents_app_icon_max_height">XX.0dip</dimen>

- You can change app label color by changing

in file \res\values\colors.xml the line

<color name="status_bar_recents_app_label_color">#ff0dc5e0</color>

the result:

:)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveTiffTaylor:
Hi I have a HTC Mozart, this is my 1st phone that is more than a phone.

I have come from using a Psion 3a and a standard phone.

What I miss on all the new generations of phones is the database feature of the Psion

I know that in my Win 7 Phone I have contacts but in my Psion I have a database which was for personal contacts, but I have other database for useful stuff, like Plumbers, Shops, Tyre Centres etc.

I also had a database for keeping track of things I bought, i.e. Name, Model No, Serial No, Date of purchase, warranty period etc

.

Does anything like this exist for these new so called smart phones?

I am sure ex Psion users will know what I am referring too.

Re Dave
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
Aren't Psions like portable computers? WP isn't a portable computer. It's obviously a smart phone. A phone that does more than a phone.

It comes with Office in built. So if you wanted you could create the required databases in Excel.

You could use the 'search' button on the bottom right to find plumbers, shops and tyre centres around you.

For barcode scanning - you can use bing vision or bar code scanner apps.

EDIT: If you had Psion with WinMo OS on it then this might be a step forward, but if you used any other Psions portable computer or those PDA like devices then you might not find your answers to be straight forward.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XATAGuy:
Hi Dave,

Welcome to Windows Phone! I don’t know what a Psion is, but the new WP devices all come with an “MS Office Suite”. Included in this is a program called “Notes”.

What you can do with Notes is completely up to you, and is limited only by your imagination. I have a file for all of my expensive stuff like vehicles. The first item in each file (one per vehicle) is always the VIN. This saves a trip or a call at the parts window. Other entries include mileage on 01 Jan. This helps with taxes. I travel. I have a file for all of my cities by airport code. If I find a restaurant I like, it’s in there.

Obviously there is no such word a “tyre” (International jab) but for plumbers or tires, you have a couple of different options. If you have multiple plumbers and tire shops, I would again recommend Notes. If you have only one of each, you can add them into contacts and make their name “plumber” or “tires”.

Additionally, like your contacts, you can get your notes to sync to the cloud so they are always automatically backed-up, and can be shared so they are useable from other computers.

Hint: Don’t forget to give your notes a title (First line).

I think you’ll find these devices do everything you need except talk on Skype, and it looks like this will be fixed soon.

Good luck,

Dave
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
For contacts in windows phone you can create groups. Like one for companies and put plummers, electricians, ect in it

Hit plus when you are in the people hub. Choose new group instead of new contact. I have one also for family so i can have all my familys facebook in front of me at once. There is a limit however. 20 contacts to each group. For my coworkers i had to make 2 cuz they wouldn't all fit. Cool stuff though. Is that what you meant?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveTiffTaylor:
Thanks for the replies

For those that don’t know, a PSION was a PDA (not a computer as such) with 1M of memory and ran off 2AA batteries for 5 months

It had a Diary (WP Calendar)

Could sync diary with Outlook via cable (WP only via Live)

Alarm Clock (WP Alarms),

Word Processor (WP Word in Office)

Spreadsheet (WP Excel in Office)

A few games (WP Apps)

World Clock (WP Apps)

Voice Recorder (WP Apps)

Spellchecker (WP Apps or Word)

Programming language called OPL (maybe Apollo with C++)

Database (WP nothing)

The database was very simple you could create your own labels for fields and each record would have those fields

You could have many databases on for Contacts, one for CD collection etc.

One of the biggest advantages of the Psion database, contacts or calendar was that you could search on any field.

Excel would be the only thing to use but its not really that practical, you only need 5 to 10 fields per record.

I would write one for myself but I believe you can’t install your own apps? You could with the PSION

I bought my PSION 16 Years ago and keep it going just for the database function I would love to junk it and keep my data in my phone, I am just amazed that there is nothing around, I think Android & iPhone are the same.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
Oh, you need MS Access then? That's the closest match to a database and I don't think they have in mobile office.

Hey I've been trying several browsers and only Miren browser had the feature I need. I mean then I loaded pages stays loaded until I close the tabs/browser manualy.

All the other browsers keeps reloading pages then I don't need them to reload. For example - open some website, go to other app, then turn off mobile network and wifi, then go back to internet browser and it's only blank page (or an error page).

Recently I have flashed ICS ROM and now Miren browser FC sometimes.. I guess it's because of Miren browser is no longer supported and some ICS incompatabilities or ROM problems..

So can someone recommend me another browser which doesn't reload pages when apps being switched back and forth? Or way to keep all browser loaded tabs (in cache(?)) so it don't need to reload so much?

solution to mobile browser page reloads

There is a solution to this problem in case you're using opera mobile:

1) start opera mobile

2) in the web address field type about:config

3) in the search field on the now open page type refresh

4) uncheck "client refresh" and "client refresh to same location"

5) click on "save"

6) close opera mobile and - just to be sure - restart the phone to clear all caches.

Be aware though, that now you'll have to refresh pages manually if they contain heavily updated content (such as live feeds).

Hope this helps :)

They become bad blocks when you flash too often.

NAND can be rewritten very often but. It's like ssd in your pc. After some time they will have some. Issues etc.

These bad blocks get somehow destroyed so they can't be rewritten anymore.

There is no program managing to flag them or repair them.
