I recently saw a guide here how to open your eris and transplant the track ball.

I have no reason to transplant the trackball, but I did open it to attempt to clean it.

I have throughly cleaned the trackball with rubbing acohol three times now and I still can not scroll downward.

Also now my phone only boots into safe mode.

What is wrong with my phone?
[Droid Eris General] xstackedx:
Update:

I have now discovered why it boots into safe mode.

Turn out, now the trackball is being determined as pressed, so when i booted into booted into recovery to see what happens, it reflashed pb0000 or whatever it is called.

And down scroll still doesn't work.

Update 2:

I refit the trackball another time and now it now longer boots into safe mode.

Does anyone know why I can't scroll down? I can not nandroid restore if I can't scroll down.

Please help.
[Droid Eris General] ECLIPS3:
some dust or dirt probably got inside the trackball and is blocking the sensor from sensing the trackball movement. since you already opened it up, i would suggest doing that again, in a dusk free environment, then pull the trackball out, spray some compress air on it, then put it back together.
[Droid Eris General] xstackedx:
Year I cleaned out all the dust already with an air compressor.

I think it is actually some grease because I remember it first stopped working on easter when my finger were a little bit greasy from ham. So I planning on soaking the ball, with its metal casing, in rubbing alcohol.

I first thought that the warranty became void when I rooted, but after research, I didn't really void it until I broke the seal. If I had known this before hand I prolly wouldn't have opened it.

Thx for the help anyway.

I will post more results eventually.
[Droid Eris General] xstackedx:
Cleaned it even more, still doesn't work.
[Droid Eris General] xstackedx:
Well I discover that I can use Amon's recovery with adb, so now I am just not gonna worry about the trackball.
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
it's a common problem with eris' it seems. I had it, and I can remember t least 2 others with the problem.

I used it as a warranty to replace my 2.1 leak so i could root my phone instead, if you still have that little void sticker intact, i suggest you replace your phone. replacing the trackball wont do anything, as the enclosure that you get doesn't include the lenses, just the ball and the carriage.
[Droid Eris General] dusthead:
just to double check:

the manufacturers warranty is for hardware issues up to a year after purchase right?
[Droid Eris General] Palmbxr:
eris

same issue happened to me with my old eris the trackball wouldnt move down and i got a replacement i just went to verizon and told them and the guy lookedc at it , i was on 2.1 rooted he didnt care he just looked to see it didnt work he said ok and doubnle checked my address and one came in the mail 2 days later and i had to ship mny old one back... now a month ish later my new droid is tharting the same issue again only thing i can think of why its doin this is my jeans are a little tight and maybe the trackball is rubbing against it and now its causing the crackball to be pressed against the sensor and it is defecting it, onlything i can think of... EDIT( and yes the warrenty is 1 year for hardware so just bring it and show him it wont go down and hel say ok and send you one no questions asked, mine was opened and sticker was removed he didnt care)
[Droid Eris General] Palmbxr:
It seems to stop once n awhile but it is a known issue. And if it starts again im gona open it and do some testing but for now it seems to working ok, my old droid stopped going down completely

After some research and opening my eris a couple of times. I think I have the solution.

I noticed that sometime when I plug the charger into my eris, the cursor moves down.

Before that I released that the track ball work by 4 spinning magnets and 4 magnetometers.

The carriage of the trackball looks something like this:

▊ ▔ ▆

▏O ▕

▆ _ ▊ < Left magnet

^ Down magnet is there

Directly below the down magnet is the usb female slot.

With all my research people have told me that there left and down have stopped working in the past.

Coincidentally, the down and left magnets are very close to the metal usb connector. I am guessing that this is the issue.
[Droid Eris General] Palmbxr:
Are you saying the sensors are getting magnetised?

[Droid Eris General] xstackedx:
The trackballs is consists of a casing with four magnets.

Below is a blackberry track ball which is equivalent to the eris track ball.

You can see the black cylindrical magnets in the corners.

Above is the chip located above the trackball, also located on the same chip is the metal usb female.

So as you can see the lower magnet come in close contact with it.

Now, I am not 100% sure that this is the cause, but it is a good possibility.
[Droid Eris General] fKngFtd:
Just call Verizon, make sure to get a good rep, tell him/her that your trackball is messing up. Let them know that you tried to fix it, just don't tell them you opened it, unless they ask. It's not lying or fraud, they don't tell you the whole truth anyways (hidden fees). lol They should replace it without a problem, the only thing is you might get a Droid Eris with 2.1 pre-installed.

Excuse me then, it should be a simple fix if nothing shorted out. I returned my Eris because it shorter out, I cleaned everything, and replaced the whole track ball with my other Eris and still had the same problem. Now I know not to use my Eris while plugged in via usb, there is too much space left over for the usb plug to loosen. I hope this thread will make it easier to fix the flaw in design. So it won't be a problem any more. Thank you for taking the time to read.

I would actually prefer a work around IMO. I never use the trackball unless I need to flash a rom.

Track balls are way old technology from back before laser mouses, so why have one on a phone.

A couple of "work arounds" I thought about were:

1. Change the hotkeys in the recovery and then recompile and flash

2. Use the Recovery from your phone in an ADB like fashion. (This is currentyly supported but has many limitations. For example you can't flash ROM ZIP, but you can nandroid."

3. Control the recovery via Android Screen cast or something similar

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=557717

4. Solder in a trackpad and remove the trackball. (Pretty Far fetched IMO.)

Really didn't know how to take it, I just feel the need to avoid anything to keep a clean state of mind. So no worries bro. I think a good work around would be a way to place a rubber guide to house the usb connector from moving and causing the trackball to cause headache. Thank you for your time.
[Droid Eris General] Palmbxr:
I think hard pressing on the trackball is sonehow distorting the sensor, i have somewhat tight pockets in my jeans and i think its effecting it, where as my friend who wears basketball shorts his trackball is fine

Its the usb slot, ive been messing with it, different pressure on the usb while plugged in causes different rections, for me when plugged in, pulling the usb tiward myself allows the trackball to work perfectly and when i press it doesnt work well. :) hoped i helped

I have never had trackball issues but I found this link in another thread and a lot of people were claiming that it helped them. If it doesn't work you've only wasted 10 seconds of effort.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awryter:
I use a Class 6 8GB AData microSD Card, and used it for around a year in my Blackberry Bold 9700 with no problems.

When I purchased my N1, I quickly rooted it and installed CM 5.0.0.53 with a 512MB ext4 partition for my Apps. It worked fine for around 2 weeks, and one day I woke up to a message saying SD Card Corrupted, please format your card. I could still access the card via mounting it to Windows, and was able to back it up (and the ext partition worked fine) but nothing I could do save for formatting the card completely and restoring a nandroid would save the FAT32 partition.

I decided to format again using ext3 this time and install CM 5.0.6, both of which I heard were more reliable. Again, a month later, I have a corrupted FAT32 partition (only on the device, not through mounting) and cannot access any of my data on the device itself.

Is this my activity, or could it be something else? I am at a loss to explain it, since the card seems to be fine in Windows. Is this a CM problem?

Thanks in advance for any insight you may be able to share.

EDITED 13.05.2010

Hello there,

I'm glad to announce my first Multilanguage-ROM :D

My attitude:

A fast and stable ROM with kitchen!

-> also i will upload some useful EXT-packages which can be easily integrated into the kitchen (also multilanguage only)

Reason for the Kitchen:

- Design can be easily reverted to stock

- Not everybody needs or even likes every program i add

- Somebody wants more stock-packages in that ROM than i want (less i better :) )

Reason for Multilanguage:

- In the Wiki i don't find newer ROMs for Europe contries

- I think my work is fine ;)

- I have fun on customizing ROMs

Now the progress:

CFC compressed Manila 2.5.2012

only needed language files in manila (~700 less files)

Build 21901/23563 work

PNGs optimized

Recmodded some useful modules to files and vice versa

Pagepool 18MB (you can change that in the kitchen later)

Startmenu folders: Phone, Organizer, Tools, Multimedia, Connections

Statmenu sorted - one column start menu possible

Startmenu folders icon changed to a black icon

To-Do-list:

find a solution for some position-errors in 6.5.X

find a "beta" tester for FRE and SPA :)

dump foreign Roms for ArcsoftMMS-Client and HTC Taskmanager

-> Memoryusage of Build 21901 after 3 day use: 70MB free

My ROMs will be availible with or without the new HTC Messageclient :)

I will keep you uptodate and i hope i made you interested!

Fornow i still have some problems with manila, but the rom itself is working :)

Thanks for your help with the translating, but i choose to usw simply symbols in xdaShutdown.

CleanRAM and MyPhone is also in Multilanguage.

Does anybody know a program like Modaco NoData or DataController which is also in multilang?

Progress: Manila CFC compressed, some Modules recmodded to files, Stock-attitude in general, PNGs compressed, CoPilot removed completely.

Maybe anybody knows how to get FWUPDATE-dummy or SQM-dummy?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] inselstaat:
Weil ich angefangen habe mit build 21901 und eigentlich aufgrund der wenigeren Arbeit nur die rollup-veröffentlichungen nehmen wollte :) Naja wenn jetzt soweit mal alles läuft kann ich auch wieder nach neuen Builds gucken.

Because i started with build 21901 and because i like less work. i only wanted to use the rollup-packages :) When i think the rom is ready then i could look for a new build.

I don't like to build a new rom every week just because a new build came out.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnboatcat:
I used "Trackme" on my Tilt and now have it on HD2.

I use it on my boat at night as an anchor drag alarm. Set the geo-fence for twice the distance of the length of my anchor line. Mark the position when I first drop the anchor. Phone moves outside the circle and it sends me a text message that sets off an alarm.

Also you can get it to send a text or email with position by sending the phone a text message with a custom message created by you. Good to find your phone if lost.

Also when we leave the boat for the day we leave one phone on the boat and it will text us if the boat moves from a pre-determined circle. Text or email has a link to a google map showing the track since started.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyu:
I haven't fully tested this issue yet mainly because I've only had the phone for a few days... I wanted to check if anyone else had this problem.

Under Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification Flash

I have all the options ticked.

In theory, whenever I have a missed call or a SMS or email etc, I should be able to tell that I need to check my phone be a little blinking light in the top right corner off the screen. I just came back to my phone and this LED wasn't blinking but when I turned on the phone, there was a missed call and a SMS.

Other times, it seemed to work fine.

Anyone else noticed this problem?

Now that explains things. I tend to look for the led after I've not used the phone for a while. In my pocket or elsewhere. Quite a few times I've seen no flashing but have a notification in the top left. I thought it was another one of those little 'features' we keep finding.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedking34:
I'm guessing this is to save battery time, I don't know how much power a small LED uses but it surely can't help with the already abysmal battery life
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pina_:
I first thought the LED was located behind the optical trackpad, because the trackball on my Hero could light up. I think the LED-notification is pretty dumb since it's almost invisible when it lights up. The lighting trackball was much much better
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMoto:
This is a known issue. I thought that did not happen in Android, but I guess I was wrong.

If the phone work in Windows Mobile, there are a registry key to let assign values to the options, so they are usable.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harolds:
It would be nice to be able to change the flash time from the default 5 minutes, or atleast an option for no time limit.

I know it's to help save battery life, but I'm willing to say that the light flashing will use less battery then the back light coming on everytime I'm away from my phone for more then 5 minutes, from me checking to see if I have new messages, email, or missed phone calls.
