I have issues with touchscreen stuff all the time. When I type fast I'll get all kinds of errors... I also have the issue when sometimes no matter where I click on the screen it only hits the home button... I really hope this gets cleared up.
[Nexus One General] jongie123:
Well I must have very bad luck because this is my second N1 with the problem.Return the first one 00 because the screen craziness and receive a new one 01 (different badge) and also has the problem.But I'm keeping this one,anyway is rooted already and notices is better way better,but the problem still here,but just ,put it to sleep and wake-up and fix it.I don't know the cause of this if software or hardware but definitely not everybody has it.I downloaded a drawing app from the market and I can see that when the problem I touch someplace near the middle of the screen and it recognized the touch as a straight line all the way to the bottom.
[Nexus One General] jongie123:
And I always make sure I'm not making contact with the screen with the palm or anything else.

[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
I think I've seen the screen issue once but I just turn the screen off for a few seconds and turn it back on. Also it happens when my palm is touching the edge of the screen. Other than that, I have no issues.
[Nexus One General] Oliver986:
I can relate the screenproblem to some apps...

After using them i have the same screenproblems: touching an area will trigger the button just below it. After turning the display off/on everything just works fine again.

When i use the nexus one without touching these apps, everything works fine.

Maybe it's a calibrating problem within these apps???

[Nexus One General] Devastatin:
My girlfriend picked up my phone and complained about the screen.

She has an issue and I don't.

I think it may have to do with the way she pokes at the screen with her nail instead of using her finger.

LOL, and when I told her to use her finger, she uses her thumb and got upset because it was registering the wrong part of her thumb.

So its all in how you touch it.... :eek:
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
I have not heard much about this problem. I wonder if the desire will also experience the calibration issue.
[Nexus One General] uberingram:
This post. When you do troubleshooting for a living you learn to freeze everything you're doing when a problem occurs. 10 to 1 some other part of your hand is touching and registering.
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
My Nexus can be almost impossible to use with just one hand. For example, when I'm trying to web surf and scroll down a page, like XDA, the screen will zoom in and out like crazy. It's very annoying.
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Are you gripping the phone hard? I have noticed if I squeeze the phone hard in one hand the screen goes bonkers.
[Nexus One General] malicious85:
the edges of the screen are pretty sensitive, from what i have noticed using it, anytime the screen is acting wonky.. is because it is registering some other skin touching the screen..

people are holding it wrong
[Nexus One General] redsix:
the screen calibration issue is too common a problem for people to just be holding it wrong (see google's forums). i had this problem and it would frequently drive me crazy. had to turn the screen off and back on as a temp fix. the issue seems to have disappeared after flashing to cyan's ERE36B though
[Nexus One General] trinode:
Obviously, my brodit car mount's palm touches the screen too... and my desk...

screen off and on fixes it.
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
still there with ERE36B, but much less than before.

turning screen off and on fixes it.
[Nexus One General] justclimb:
+1

Plus: when single-finger scrolling through the borders...the screen actually zooms in or out. ONLY when the phone is vertical...NOT when is widescreen ; )

This are annoying calibration issues that had to be adressed BEFORE this motherfking multitouch update...as it obviously never happened before ERE27!

:cool: or NOT
[Nexus One General] psylink:
i have had the calibration problem a handful of times on stock, it happened in one or two specific apps and when i didnt use them, i had no problems (honestly dont recall what apps now). i haven't had the problem since i went to CM latest stable, but i might not have loaded those apps lately or uninstalled too, again don't recall what apps
[Nexus One General] scottyj17:
Back to topic...?
[Nexus One General] NexusX:
Well let hope that the next update will adress these touch screen problem. People has been sending in phone for replacement for months, HTC must have like at the least 20 of them so they can test it out.

Still holding out hope for the Nexus One, since they are the cheapest unlock phone for the most advance tech. Although probably if this phone is $100 more expensive it wouldn't have these problems.
[Touch HD General] hollowmanmaster:
I have a little problem and I don't know how to fix it.

I have contacts only on my mobile phone, on my sim card is empty-see contacts on sim card is disable.

When I got new call, from unknown person, I have info that I can add this contact to my list as a new or add to already exist. I want add as a new, so i'm writing all important info: name,last name,number... and new contact I see as a "unnamed".:eek::eek: PLEASE .. help me fix it.:confused::confused:

Ps. Phone HTC HD, WM 6.5 with manila 2.5 v 21.1.
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
Since it sounds like you're using a custom ROM, I'm guessing it's just a bug in the ROM. You should check the thread pertainning to your ROM.
[Touch HD General] Slide10:
I am having the same problem with no solution, please help. Anybody???
[Touch HD General] Slide10:
I have just found a solution. Don't add contacts the conventional way. Instead, go to start > Phone > Contacts > New

This way you'll be able to add the contacts you want properly.

:-D
[HTC Vox] indtram:
a long shot......hope everyone is aware of my problem with VOX that i had posted in these forums.....

after a lot of effort i have got myself another e650 (Orange) from my friend in UK..but to my dismay..its locked to Orange....

Now my earlier VOX (with the call drop problem) I had got it unlocked from IMEI people..( again posted about that in these forums).....

I am kind of real short of cash and was wondering if the earlier unlock file sent by IMEI guys (a UNL file) ...can be modified for my new VOX IMEI Number and i can somehow modify it and unlock my this phone....

A work for the learned here...if any help is possible..it will be appreciated....

if not..please dump this post.....

[Droid Eris Android Development] joey3002:
I have an eris. Maybe I am missing something but it is syncing over 800 contacts and I have no way of telling it to ONLY sync a specific group. Did this option disappear or is this a bug?

thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] joey3002:
found the location..

Go into People

- Menu

- View

Uncheck "Show auto Gmail contacts"

hit done and that will no only show your contacts you made
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
This works but doesn't allow you to only sync contacts that are in the "Phone_Contacts" group, for instance. In 1.5 you could select which groups from your google contacts to sync to the phone, but now I think that option is gone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
Just recently got a Touch Pro 2 (t mobile, unlocked) and, being a previous Fuze owner, that I could install a cab (to the fuze) to force tv-out. Then, using the dongle and a cheap 3.5mm to video out cable, I could then use the tv out option as if I had actually purchased the video out cable. Is there such a cab for the touch pro 2? I loaded the enablevideoout.cab from fuze, however, while it does enable that option, no video comes out to the tv, even though I'm using the exact cable...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
tv out doesnt work for me either. im not sure why. some people have it working though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AndyInFl:
I have the AT&T Tilt 2 and purchased the Tilt video cable. The cable was inexpensive ($15 or so) and works perfectly. I select the TV Out under System and it works perfectly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 1milenia:
whats the purpose of tv out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dr.8820:
you can stream whatever is on your phone to a tv or moniter. it's a great tool for businessmen with presentations, or you could download and stream adult content :D.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
So...is there a cab that would force tv out?

Is the $15 cable the only way to get it to work?

Is there anyone that actually uses this option!!???? I remember back with the fuze that TV out was all the rage...wha happen'????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
i can get tv out on my fuze but not on the tilt 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dr.8820:
i'm using the oem htc tv out cables on my sprint tp2. no hacks or tweaks needed, just plug it in and go. it also has a charging port on the side, so you can stream and charge at the same time. darrenwlsn1 has a thread at ppcgeeks where you can get them for $10 u.s. shipped.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dr.8820:
if you have the dongle that came with the tp, check this out http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91682&highlight=tv*
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
Thanks...seems as if it will be the blue wire that will meet its maker...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] datawrhsdoc:
Sorry, telegraph. Since I was the guy the discovered the hack in the first place and have now graduated to a Touch Pro2, I can confirm without a doubt that the registry change the above mentioned cab implements won't make TV Out work with the ipod cables.

You'll either need to cut wires on the dongle or get the OEM TV Out cable for the TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EngineerMind:
The TV-out option is THE ONLY reason why I got the Touch Pro 2 - here's why...

My in-dash car DVD/Nav system includes a "Video In" (and L, R audio in) jack that will display any video on it's 9" LCD screen, plus play any audio through my stereo system in the car.

Forget Flow TV or Cio digital TV services and subscriptions!

I just connected a Slingbox to my home Tivo TV system, bought the slingplayer app for the touch pro 2, got an unlimited data plan for my TP2, and connected my TP2 to my in-dash DVD system using the HTC video cable.....and now I can watch ANY cable channel I get at home LIVE, PLUS watch any Tivo show I recorded, in stereo, in my car! Soooo sweet :) Youtube videos look awesome too. Any app that runs on the TP2 can now appear in my dash's screen with full stereo audio.

XM/Sirius radio sucks with it's 64k bitrate quality! So, as a side bonus, both nanogroove and slacker radio apps for the TP2 sound like they use 96-128k bitrate so they sound excellent in the car. I drive around all day and listen to crystal-clear tunes for free, and can skip any I don't like instantly (using slacker radio) or call up ANY song using nanogroove!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
Yay!!!!!!!

Sorry to sound like a guy finding his first chest hair, but a gentle squeeze on the dongle allowed it to ever so nicely open up, where I proceeded to cut zee blu wire...tv out works great-now, a question:

Is it just my dongle or are connections to the phone (via the mini usb) somewhat loose? A slight move (even with just headphones) causes static, I remember (fuze) that the connection was snug and the phone (even sideways) would still hold its own with regards to restricting movement.

and that, sirs, is a run on sentence.

Edit: When I do connect the phone to a tv, the screen is Portrait, and so are any movies I play (even though they should be playing landscape)...the only way I get them to turn correctly is by editing hklm/software/htc/h2w and changing a tv out value to 1...after unplugging the cable, I have to go back and change that same value to 0...

I'm sure i'm doing some extra unnecessary step...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] datawrhsdoc:
That registry entry is what the cab flips back and forth for you. Just install the cab...

Hello,

I would like to flash the new SPL that comes with the new official HTC Rom (with sense 2.5) as it may be related to the sleep of death (which seems to occure on low batterie only for me).

HardSPL does not allow the flash of the SPL, and SSPL freeze my device. Any idea?

As my device is a german one and that I want the rom in english I do need to bypass the vendor id check.

Thank you,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
if youre using hardspl and a custom rom, do not flash a stock spl. youll brick your phone. if you have hardspl flashed, you shouldnt flash to stock. if youre using the stock rom it should have also flashed its matching stock spl.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
I'm sure all the devs have seen this, but for anyone who wants to tinker, you might look at this site:

http://www.vafeo.org/vafeo/vafeo-1.01-1/vd_android-1

LiveCD / LiveUSB debian distro with android sdk and eclipse. I haven't tried it out yet 'cuz the download hasn't finished. :) But it looks pretty cool.

Oh, and the download link on that page has a typo, extra 'h' on http://, so copy-paste and fix it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Very nice find.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
For Windows users give MotoDev studio for Android a try.

It's a nicely packaged install for a complete Android development environment: Eclipse, Android SDKs, DDMS plugin for Eclipse along with some custom Eclipse perspectives and code snippits. It even handles the APK signing and distribution uploading to the Market. 0 configuration and 100% Free too.

The only thing left to download would be DroidDraw but this isn't even required as Eclipse has support for GUI development (just not as intuitive).
[Nexus One General] Bob Loblaw:
It was my understanding that replacing the stock ROM will mean that my phone will not get the automatic OTA updates. Someone posted in another forum that that isn't true. Only certain ROMS will prevent me from getting it. Is this true? I realize this isn't the DEV forum but I didn't want to clutter it up with such a newb question.
[Nexus One General] seanowns:
Installing a Custom ROM means you will NOT receive OTA updates via Google.

Dont worry though:)

ROM developers will INCLUDE these updates into their roms, so you still "get" the update. It's just not OTA. Google releases the source code which is awesome.

Right now the custom roms are riding "leaked" updates, so technically we are ahead.

My own opinon, but I wouldnt be surprised if Google uses the Custom ROM world as a somewhat free beta testing community. It would make sense at least from a cost/risk perspective. I may be totally wrong here though, 100% opinion.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
I Don't think you are far off with that one, the cost is zilch, because once you unlock the bootloader, it's your responsibility. Google said they want to fix the trackball colour problem, well left to the open source developers, it is almost done! I don't know why the stock kernel isn't highmem, but i think they will take a page out of cyanogen's kernel for a future update.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:

[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Meh, never mind, it was second or third hand information, i should learn to check sources before repeating what other people have said. Nothing on android help forums.
[Nexus One General] superGOAT:
I've seen multiple pages in google's nexus forum asking about trackball colors. Which most of them followed with a reply by someone from google claiming "it's being looked in to".
[Nexus One General] superGOAT:
Oh jesus. I guess I'll go hunting.

EDIT: Upon further investigation of my browser history, it appears that the only thing a google rep had to say was about a merger of multiple issues in to one :(
[Nexus One General] Amon_RA:
That's not entirely correct...

The reason why you don't get the update is because the SystemUpdater app is removed in a custom rom (it should be).

If the Rom dev forgets to delete the SystemUpdater app you WILL receive the update! Your phone will not be able to install it and will download the update again and again with a very high data bill as a consequence.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Aye. I've learned that every time someone on a forum says something "official", 9 times out of 10 it's not true. Usually they're just quoting someone ELSE ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentTweak:
Has it ever happened to you? Like, you send a text, phone says it wasn't sent, but your friend says they received it. Sometimes I think it doesn't send so I resend and I get yelled at for sending it like 2 or 3 times :o

Not sure if it's my ROM, my radio, or something entirely different.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
it's happened to me several times, but my girlfriend doesn't really care. i don't know what it is, but it's not that often anymore now that i flashed the newly surfaced radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
This happens on a daily basis to me. My wife just stopped mentioning it anymore. haha. Only happens when I'm at work. I get a really unstable signal on my phone when I'm in the building and that's typically when I send double and triple messages constantly.

New radio didn't help me but you can try that if you have a G1. New version is 2.22.23.02 and it's in the development forum.

Hi guys, ive been using htc touch hd since a year now and never faced this issue. Suddenly from last week im unable to send text message or reply. ive search all over and tried every trick mentioned here but no avail. im using the shipped rom no modifications. everything was working just fiine. the weird thing is that my message are sent if i make a call to any one...all those msgs sitting in outbox are sent then. my SMSC is correct. Please help me.:confused:

P.S. Ive also tried using other cell phones like nokia, diamond 2 etc and text messages seem to work fine with them...
[Touch HD General] xircom:
Please anyone help me...
[Touch HD General] gnarlytom:
hello!

sorry mate i dont think there's much you can do, other than a hard reset. sounds annoying i know, but many us who flash new roms are used to doing it every week!

One thing you could do before this is just to download the latest network settings.

On WM6.5 (should be similar on 6.1) go to:

Start >> Settings >> Connection Setup

Chose your operator and download the settings, then soft reset.

Otherwise, looks like a HR

(to perform a hard reset, power off your device. then hold down both vol up and vol down, and press the power button. brings up a screen of instructions that tells you to press vol up to reset).

I would strongly recommend you look at a custom ROM - you can get so much extra functionality over stock, even if you stick to a 6.1 (fastest) ROM
[Touch HD General] feario:
I had this problem a while ago, i just cleared all of my texts inbox/sent/drafts/deleted then hard reset and its been fine since. FeX
[Touch HD General] xircom:
Thanks guys for ur support...ive already done hard resets twice but the prb still there...im afraid to use a cooked rom bcoz it sounds too complicated for me and then ive heard it gets bricked if i do sumthing wrong...

just one question can i hard reset my cell back to shipped rom if i dont like a cooked rom...?? i guess this wud be my last option now to switch to cooked roms but there are so many i cant decide which one will be better for me.

Thanks
[Touch HD General] xircom:
Bump...........
[Touch HD General] gnarlytom:
its not difficult to flash a custom ROM - you just have to be read the instructions carefully, and take your time.

the instructions are in the wiki here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone

you can flash back to the stock ROM whenever you want to.

you could always see if there is an official update for your ROM first, and just try installing the latest stock if your device does not already have it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alongenemylines:
any way to make a certain app bypass apps2sd, and install on the phone memory directly? I know some apps can be moved from /system/sd/app /system/app , but this doesn't work for everything.

advice?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
As far as I know, you can just remove your ext partition and it should install apps internally.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alongenemylines:
alright, here's a scenario then. What if those apps have updates? Will updates from the market install to the sd, or will they only overwrite themselves if the sd has been removed?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
Meaning the apps on your ext partition? Wellllll, if you remove the partition completely, it'll remove the apps. So they won't update anywhere. haha

I suggest pulling the apps from your ext via adb, put them on your sd card fat32 partition, and install them manually through a file explorer.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alongenemylines:
ehh, nevermind. Looks like it's just going to be easiest to move the apps manually.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huhaifan1:
another way is to put the apps in the rom folder named "app_s" to folder "app" in the system......
