[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASUDave:
Anyone have issues with the touchscreen on their G1?

I'm using SuperD 1.10.3 with swype for keyboard and I'm noticing that the touchscreen will recognize multiple taps when I type on the screen. For instance, if I type f, it will look like ff or ffff on my screen. It seems independent of the ROM or keyboard as I've had this happen using the HTC and Android keyboards as well as multiple ROMS.

Has anyone found a fix for this or is it just my touch screen?
[Nexus One General] indie12:
I sent my nexus one of for repair as backplate was not flush and it came back not fixed, i rooted phone deciding that i wasnt going to send it back again and because i thought shouldn't matter (as i was told on here) then i decided to send it off again, the guy did not ask me if had changed software on phone either time, but then i got a message saying it been refused repair and i would have to pay for return or new mainboard. I called them to say that it should have been repaired the first time while my phone was under warranty and so it is linked to that case anyway since it should of been repaired then it doesn't matter about its warranty state now its their fault for not repairing it.. they wouldn't have that, i pointed out its not even a warranty matter since it was recieved with fault so its a faulty item so should be replaced or repaired warranty or not.. still wont repair it, i point out that its rediculous they even check the rom of phones that be sent to them with hardware problems because obviously the software does not effect the phone and change the hardware and they know that they sent the item out with the fault so should just fix it they shouldn't even check if warranty is voided by software because that is put in place so they dont fix software faults caused by people themselves so its really bad that they use it to get out of fixing hardware issues.. still no hope so i have to pay for phone be sent back to me and then i will be seeking legal advice
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
That does suck, and it's completely obvious that the rooted-ness does not affect hardware. Unfortunately there's not much of a case since you clicked the "YES" button to void your warranty when you rooted, voiding all parts of the warranty (hardware and software).

I hate to admit it, fearing that something may happen to my phone, but I can see their side to this matter. It would have been nice for the guy to just fix it for you, though.

Now, the fact that they are making you pay for shipping it back (unfixed) is simply poor customer service.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
It does suck, They are using whatever means necessary to make more money.

IMO they should only reject faults that are causable by software. (burnt out LED, bricked, Overheated/Dead due to too high OC...). Since HTC is the manufacturer and they dont state anywhere that they are not evil...theres nothing google can do.

My phone has no faults. Ordered just before the 1/5 announcement :P
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Good luck with that, you don't really have a leg to stand in, unfortunately.
[Nexus One General] esmith:
I hope the legal advice is free since a $600 is hardly worth getting a lawyer over and losing a case... average lawyer will be $100 an hour....

Then again... HTC might counter sue you for wasting their time...
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I'll give you "free advice as a law student" (I'm not an attorney... yet). You have no case whatsoever. Sorry.
[Nexus One General] btmec:
The best thing to do is totally ruin the phone. There are electronic ways to do this. I have access to a device that generates a strong magnetic field that I used to fry a laptop and a phone before. I have heard of people putting things in a microwave too but I am not sure how well that would work.
[Nexus One General] drdingo21:
Incorrect.

HTC would need to prove what he did caused the issue for what they are refusing repairs to.

This has been discussed before. Car manufactures did the same thing with aftermarket parts.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
The only problem with this, though, is that there is no case law regarding cell phones directly, as of yet. Cars are expensive enough to justify the legal fees, phones are not.

It would stand to reason that the entire warranty isn't voided by rooting, if it were to go to court (simple contract law and warranty law, breaking or voiding one part doesn't null and void all other parts)... but the unlocked bootloader method also has you agree to voiding the warranty, so that makes it more difficult and less clear cut since it wold be pretty easy to argue by doing so you agreed to and entered into a contract giving up your warranty rights.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time on it. I would do what others have done and contact Google. There are numerous threads in here regarding how to get hardware warranty services on your rooted device, do a search and you should be good to go.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
You're incorrect here as well. You can't relate unlocking the bootloader to replacing OEM parts with aftermarket ones. Further, what pjc said is right on. Legally speaking, all of us are expressly informed that the warranty is void if we unlock the bootloader (twice if you count the warranty statement as well). If unlocking the bootloader is not necessary for normal use, then there's no argument that one MUST unlock the bootloader. So any court would laugh at a complaint like this.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I am sure you are all familiar with the M&M act? If not then do a search as it is too much too post here. This at any rate is the one that speaks to aftermarket car parts and touches on many parts of warranty coverage. I fought Chrysler over an issue with a truck I bought some years ago. I won. It cost several times what fixing it out of pocket would have. While the M&M act provides for the ability to recover fees you may or may not do so. I did not. I followed this through as a matter of principle but I can just about promise you if you should decide to pursue this in court you will be sorry you ever stepped down that road. I would not do so again in similar circumstances. Especially since as already stated Google has been quite good about fixing obvious hardware defects with unlocked bootloaders if you contact them and follow the process. I have yet to read one instance where someone with such a problem was denied warranty after following through with Google.
[Android Apps and Games] eghoti1:
There used to be a widget in the Market called News Reader (I believe the latest version was 3.1) that is no longer there anymore. The developer has a blog (http://sumnechamak123.blogspot.com/2009/10/news-reader-v031.html) but doesn't have any email address to contact him at. This was the only legitimate news scrolling "ticker" (not standard rss widget) that I have seen so far for Android, but I can't seem to get it anywhere now. Anyone still have this that can upload the .apk? It was free and the developer also made a BBC news version. I believe the US News version which I need was fed from CNN. Thanks!
[HD2 General] felixdd:
Hey,

a while ago I flashed from 1.48 to 1.66. After that, the soft reset bootup screen, bootloader, and after a hard reset it will report my device as running 1.66.

But as soon as I use SPB backup, it changes the "device information" entry to 1.48. Soft reset bootup screen still reports 1.66.

I didn't think too much of it really -- mostly because I figure this would be a good way for me to know what my original ROM version is anyways.

Until I installed a new radio ROM with CustomRUU. The program detected my device as a 1.48 device, not 1.66.

My concern is that this may mean some restrictions with regards to flashing in the future.

So...is there any way to change this? Do I need to change it at all?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
when you change rom you shouldn't restore registry in the same way as you do after a normal hard reset.

I don't use them myself so I can't advise further but that's the reason.

its unlikely to cause many serious problems, being a standard official upgrade.
[HD2 General] felixdd:
Yeah. SPB Backup has a restore mode called "force ROM upgrade mode" and I would've thought that that would be sufficient.

It's been stable otherwise though so I'm not too concerned. Just find it interesting that the ROM version is being reported by data stored in the volatile RAM rather than the ROM itself.
[Touch HD General] nicari92:
Hi! I have got an HTC Touch HD and since i saw a video of Nexus One I'm interested in trying Android on my device, but I can't understand the differences between the different versions.

First of all: the Android 2.0.1 and the 2.1 are different? Because on the Nexus One web site the 2.1 is called Eclair, but on this forum I found this name associated to the 2.0.1 :confused:

Second one: what is the version of ported Android most similar to the Nexus One's?
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
2.0.1 and 2.1 are both Eclair, the Droid has 2.0.1 and it's what PHH and the others are using as a main build, there are 2.1 builds around, though, but are still sometimes unstable or laggy (being worked on).

2.1 brings live wallpapers, voice input and some other stuff, this is what the Nexus One has, there's also the new app drawer, but i think that's exclusive to the Nexus One (3D effect). Live wallpapers were made to work on 2.0.1, though.

Next version will be called Froyo (FROzen YOghurt).
[Touch HD General] nicari92:
Ok thanks...Another question.. :D

I didn't understand how Android is installed... Do I loose WM? Or is it installed in dual boot?
[Touch HD General] TheBrilliantMistake:
No you dont lose WinMo, this installs on your SD card is 'sort of' Dual boot...

You just run a little launcher in WinMo and Android will terminate WinMo and run.... next time you restart your phone, you're back to WinMo as always.

There is a 'dual boot' program that someone developed, but essentially this is just a fancy app to auto-start the launcher from WinMo as soon as WinMo boots.

You should try reading a few of the opening posts though, and place your questions in the 'Ask questions here' sticky at the top of this android forum.
[Touch HD General] nicari92:
ook! thank you very much!:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
Hi,

I recently took my Nexus on a trip and used it to take some 300 pictures. It's amazing the quality of the photos it takes, but one thing that really bothered me at times was the fact that the camera would always focus at the centre of the picture, while the important part might be at one of the sides.

Would it be possible to add a "touch to focus" feature in the stock camera app? What do you guys think?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Xel'Naga:
Hold down on the "shutter" button to adjust your focus. Once you get a green box around your screen, that focal length will be retained until you let go of the button and a picture is taken.

If you slide your finger off the button (as in, without lifting), you can release the focus without taking a picture.

Not sure if that's the same thing you're looking for, but it's a hidden feature in the stock camera app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frandavid100:
Dude! Why wasn't I informed of this before! :D

Thanks a lot for the tip, I will make good use of it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Furious911:
Hey guys I found the built in hold down the hangup button for a few secs slide to unlock thing, which is cool, but it seems like it doesn't work for ****, I had S2U for my Fuze and it never still unlocked. This one I will set it, turn it off, stick it on my case on my belt pull it out and its on some random screens, wtf?? Anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Furious911:
and it always seems to be on the alarm or clocks screens when it unlocks itself if that helps narrow it down.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
Try this. Sounds like the magnets in your case are waking up the device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Furious911:
I had a hunch since my Fuze used to have a magnet too but it never had that issue, awesome man thanks!

Check here for possible solution.

sorry can find it, i am a newby on this forum

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Well, you can read, right?

I was pointing you to;

- Disable HTC Messaging App :

Use "Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.cab"

Basically, HTC messaging is laggy. There are some fixes from HTC, but they are device specific, so if you're running a cooked Leo Based ROM, you would need to find the fix for the Leo.

I have a fix for LEO and Pure, but you're prolly on stock Topaz, right?

You can try the fix first.

If it doesn't help, disabling HTC Messaging and using Windows default is a solution, but I think you may lose MMS capabilities (refer to the thread I originally posted for info on that)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] 123schiff:
I got the same problem. Updated to HTC official stock rom to 2.53.479.3 and when new SMS arrive it opens the previous msg rather than the new message. The previous ROM didnt have this problem so I am think there maybe a registry fix for this.

Anyone know or know how to fix this.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] no1uno090:
Hello, recently I got my Google G1 unlocked and now i am running the phone using a foreign sim. The build on the phone is RC29 but I want to upgrade it to RC30. My question is, will I have to REunlock my phone if I install this update? Will the phone do a factory restore and start asking me for my google account info? If so, is there a bypass around this which DOES not include enabling wifi through adb, because I have tried it and my wifi is not working on this specific phone...Also what are the benefits of the update? Is anything new added? Thanks for any help in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] choccy31:
It should reset back to normal, so you will lose the unlock.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigd5783:
I would recommend running a rooted doughnut or eclair rom. I don't believe you will loose your unlock of you upgrade though. Why are you on such an ancient build?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cauli:
Aiui SIM lock status has nothing to do with which set of ROMs you have installed, so updating should not lose your unlocked status. If you update with official ROMs & were rooted you will however lose root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] no1uno090:
Ok first off thank you for replying... Well I understand that it will loose root if I upgrade it to a genuine RC30 and that doesn't pend a problem for me. BUT I need to know 100% that if I am to upgrade it via downloading off of my computer and installing it through the bootloader that I will NOT loose my unlock status. I really am not in the mood to pay to have it unlocked again. Thanks again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cauli:
I haven't done this myself so can't say any more than the following. Over the last two months I've read a large number of posts on xda & modaco. I've seen this question asked about half a dozen times. Not once has anyone posted a seemingly informed opinion saying ROM flashing will affect sim lock status. Each time there has been a response stating it won't be affected.

If you need more certainty than that you'll have to hope someone responds who has actually done this or who has familiarity with the underlying technology. Good luck.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] no1uno090:
Well... I think there's only one way to solve this and that is to try it out and hope for the best :confused:. Hopefully everything will run smoothly but if it does loose the unlock status at least i will have learned something new! I will reply with the outcome in my next post. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anrabi4:
I know I could have used the search engine for the question I`m going to ask you, people, but I haven`t got the slightest idea about what to search for.

I would like to use a new ROM for my HD2, but I want something which is close to stock, because I want to use the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 as well. One of the key features should be a WORKING SMS application, which would NOT contain the "stuck in outbox" bug.

Please help me decide upon a specific ROM and, if I posted in the wrong section, I kindly ask a moderator to move my topic where it belongs to.

Many thanks in advance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Just read each thread - but AFAIK there isn't one ROM using SPB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anrabi4:
I have seen some ROMs coming pre-cooked with SPb inside, but that`s not my point. All I want is a simple ROM, better than the official 1.48, which has the SMS issue solved...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tokolosh:
NRGZ28 (EnergyRoms) has made a build with:

Energy.Leo.23557.Titanium.Apr.13.7z

or

Energy.Leo.21898.Titanium.Apr.13.7z

Titanium means that HTC Sense is not cooked in so you can use SPB Mobile Shell (this is also the reason he made those 2 titanium builds)

As far as i see from his twitter page he intends to cook a version including spb mobile shell as well
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anrabi4:
Sounds pretty good, actually... Could you provide a link, please? I've found something but it`s for the HD, not for the HD2.

Also, I`d like to mention the fact that I`ve found a ROM named Topix which seems to be pretty much similar to the stock one, except for some new apps...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
so, that's all the cooked roms and official roms from 1.66 then, I bet you'd struggle to find a rom that doesn't fit the above criteria.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anrabi4:
Well there's no official 1.66 for my device as HTC won't take my S/N for whatever reason. So right now all I can do is go for a cooked ROM. The particular thing I want my ROM to do is only to fix the SMS bug and nothing more. That's why I have such a hard time finding one, because all of them include other changes, which I don't want to have. I mean, it's ok if it includes several useful apps, but I don't want a whole pile of new stuff...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
if you hspl you don't have to go for a cooked rom. all the official roms are available in the official roms thread. hit that bigg fatty first link in the first post.

just flash them over usb, they'll work fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anrabi4:
But will it be available in WWE? I really like my HD2 speaking English...

And while we're at it, is the SMS issue fixed in the 1.66 ROM?

And another thing... is 1.66 the latest official ROM? I checked the post, but it only mentions the 1.46 (or sthing) and the 1.48...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
in the time it took to ask you could have looked at the link and seen most roms are available, especially wwe and uk provider stock roms.

A friend of mine is at Tmobile and is probably going to buy a MyTouch. He's asking me a buch of questions about rooting (I have a G1).. I see that SPLs above x.x.2007 are not rootable (yet) but it seems like all of the higher SPLs are being shipped outside the US - what about Tmobile?

You guys are slow today... ;-)

So he bought it. It's a 32A w/SPL 1.33.00013 and radio 2.22.23.02

What's the best way to root this phone? 1-click or goldcard?

And if anyone wants to give me the appropiate link i'd appriciate it.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Aaron!:
It's rootable via the goldcard method, I think. I have this phone and I have not rooted it yet, due to lack of available roms.

There's NO cyanogen, NO SenseUI of any kind, NO tethering, no custom kernels at all. You get pretty much a stock ROM with root that you can theme. NONE of the current ROMs for Magic 32b / Magic 32a without the 3.5mm headphone jack will work on the new mytouch.

Until someone comes up with the drivers that are required for a custom kernel, there won't be many ROMS available.
