i have been looking into remappring the buttons, follow link in sig above and it may help
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
I looked and in my keylayout directory, I have 3 *keypad.kl files, a Verion 0, 1, and 2... whats the deal on those?

Edit: Eh, doesn't really matter. None of them clearly had a "GENIUS" label. On was called SOFT RIGHT, which may or may not be it...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tubaking182:
i was mainly looking into them last night, made bachups of course, tonight i will be playing with changing things and seeing if it works, i figure i will start be changing the A key in each version to something different(comma in one, period in another and something else in another) then we can see which version the phone is reading(i would think it would be v2 but idk) and then we can start remapping those buttons.

not sure how we would change power to require a long press though
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Foolish Frost:
May I advise a hard-case?

The idea is that it adds a layer around the phone, and this makes the power button indented. Protecting it from accidental hits.

1/8 of an inch makes all the diff.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junonion:
For an interim solution I may look into this. I know my problem isn't the norm so I appreciate all the comments!!

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] JWKJr:
So in the creation of this abnormal problem, do you do anything abnormal? For instance, are you poking around in your pockets? Does your Government job require any running and jumping where as to cause crushing of objects into your pocket? Can you carry the phone in an exclusive pocket? (i.e. just the phone, no keys, loose change, peanuts, hard candy, etc.) food for thought...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junonion:
Nope, just an average guy sitting at a desk working with computers. I have nothing in the front left pocket of my pants other than lint and my phone normally. Thing is...the slide likes to slide around and all it takes is a tap of that power button. I wouldn't never know it was turning on if it wasn't for that annoying T-mobile sound (which I'll get rid of eventually if this problem is resolved).

I've also had the phone slide out of my pocket before and keeping it still in the car while listening to pandora can be interesting. I'll have to look for a good all-purpose case that could fix all these small annoyances I guess lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Didn't see it posted in here, but if you can boot into Clockwork Recovery using the update.zip in the root thread, under the Advanced menu, you can do a Key Test, and every key you press, it's key # is displayed. None shows up for the Genius button. This is probably because of what was mentioned before, being mapped by software, or something...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] chrisinaz:
i know it isnt a solution to your problem, but if you power off the phone while in silent mode, it wont play the tmo sound when powering on the next time.

Not a solution, but it may keep you from being discovered if it does accidentally happen.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] schnem:
Not to sound like a smart ass but if you cant have it on when working then why keep it in your pocket? leave it in your car.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] epeets:
You maybe better off getting a case to keep the phone on your hip and out of your pocket. I personally don't like putting my phone in my pocket unless its a flip phone. I bought a case for cheap off of Ebay.

Pop out the battery. That's my super-geek move to the power button issue =)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ArticosX:
Side note, as there seem to be possible issues with dust collecting under the bottom of the screen glass, may not be the best idea to keep it in your pocket unprotected anyway.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rlacsamana1989:
Do what I did, buy a holster from T-mobile. I basically have to do the same thing as you but only in my budiling! (Government facility also) reason I don't leave it in the car is that I like to have my phone with me in case I need to make a phone call outside of the office.

The holster keeps you from acidentally pressing the power button and its comfortable on your hip and its convient.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bmfc187:
I just keep mine in the cloth case that came with my G1...if you still have it its worth a shot...it keeps the button from being pressed...

FYI,

Power is key 116

Genius button is key 187
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junonion:
I've always kept my phone in my pocket so its just habit. I used to buy only flip phones for this reason until I got the G1. I don't leave it in my car as I normally have quite a walk from work to the car so I use it while walking.

I'll probably end up getting a case. I've been looking around and haven't found one that I like yet. I unfortunatly don't have the pouch that came with my G1 anymore.

Kids are about to go see their grandparents for 2 weeks so I think I'll be rooting the phone and looking around with changing the keys (backup first of course).

I appreciate all of the comments! Good to see everyone's point of view on my minor plight!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Actually, your post got me thinking, and I just did what you are looking for.

See my new post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709783

Change the first line from:

key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

to:

key 187 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

Then comment out or delete the line that says:

key 187 FUNC_4

Works great, the genius button becomes the power button and the power button does nothing. You could make key 116 FUNC_4 if you wanted to make the old power the genius button instead.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junonion:
Woot for Falken98!

Thank you Falken! First finding the number for the genius button and then providing the edits! Looks like your new post made other people happy about this possibility also.

This is why I've been reading these boards for a while...so many great people sharing ideas and trying to make our phones better!

Thank you again!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junonion:
Well I finally rooted and set everything up and the keymat works fine when the phone is on, but while off the original power button is the one that turns it back on. Still is very useful information.

I did find that the endcall function is the same as the power function. I have the genius button set with it and it will do the same fuctions, just need longer press guessing a hardware setting for that button.

Guess my quest for a decent case goes on!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Did you try the power button again? I have the genius button set to endcall and just disabled the power button. It seems after you boot it up the FIRST time you lock with the endcall button the power button will wake it back up, but not after that (until the phone is rebooted).

My guess is there is some call in there that wakes it up the first time, then the watcher doesn't get reset since that key is no longer mapped. I've tried about 20 times after the initial time at boot and haven't been able to get the power button to wake it up again.

Give it a shot and let me know if the power button continues to wake it up.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junonion:
The problem is the power button still functions as normal while the phone is physically off. The keymap works great while the phone is operational, but it doesn't effect the phone while off.

I still appreciate the info you provided very much as I will be using it for the future. I actually set the power button to the physical keyboard HOME button. I have the Genius button as ENDCALL (which also works like a long press POWER button) and the Power button is a HOME button.

Great work!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Oh yeah... I was just thinking about lock mode, not actually being off. That would have to be a hardware call. Either way, glad it helped! :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkmagnus:
Staunty, My problem has been resolved. I am on Mac 10.4 (Tiger) and the newest SDK packages don't support it. If you are on Tiger and downloaded the most recent SDK then I'd suggest downloading an archived one from here:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0mrade2:
Sorry if I post in this old topic but i have a problem!

Im on tiger and i have downloaded the sdk 1.6r1 in your link to avoid the bus error problem, but i discovered that in this version there isn't the command "adb connect" to use adb wireless!

I've done some search but i haven't found a more recent version for tiger... can you help me?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] xblue95:
I've looked around the forum a bit, haven't seen this mentioned. Sometimes when I look at my notification bar, the little sync symbol is ON and it stays there for hours until I manually kill it in settings. The only things I have set to sync is Google and Weather app set to hourly. Anyone else having this issue? I am rooted, but still running stock. No ROMs loaded YET!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junonion:
I've noticed it on mine also. I'm pretty sure its not syncing anymore as there is no data going through on the 3G icon. I also noticed it takes longer to clear out Gmail notifications.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] i0nicx:
i have the same problem, it started a few days to a week ago, and i'm not rooted. i just kill the sync manually.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jadambpharm:
I also had this issue and this may not actually be the case for everyone, but my T-Mobile sync thing was running (even though I had it unchecked). No idea how to permanently kill it :-/
[myTouch 3G Slide General] heybobitsme:
I also found it was the "T-Mobile" sync. I unchecked it, but it does appear to sync anyways once a day. I just check it and uncheck it again and it works the rest of the day. I discovered that it's syncing to my "MyLife" profile on tmobile.com. It does give you the option to remove the account, but I haven't done it yet.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TrueBlue_Drew:
sync problems

It is the T-mobile sync that is messing up. Unfortunatly you cant remove it if you are running a stock MTS. Matter of fact....not sure you can remove it with a rooted MTS but I would imagine you can. Since I rooted it hasnt been trying to sync as often but I have it unchecked (not to sync) and it still tries to. Welcome to T-mobile bloatware!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jadambpharm:
You actually can remove it after flashing a new ROM, but you have to do so before booting up for the first time (or it will cause FC issues in your 'Accounts and Sync' settings).

Mount the system, then:

adb shell

cd /system/app

rm NabService.apk

rm NabService.odex

This eliminates T-Mobile sync from the list, but I'm not entirely sure it gets rid of the problem (perhaps its set to sync anyway elsewhere?). I've had it removed for a while now and haven't seen any adverse effects, so I suppose I'll leave it out.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DoriftoShoes:
When I remove NabService I get an error everytime I try to open Accounts & Sync...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jadambpharm:
You have to do it before booting your phone the first time after flashing a new ROM. I'll go back and bold that in my previous post.

same problem here, hope to fix it soon
[HD2 General] ieh:
I have trying to use the HD2 over the last 3 days and getting real problems with intermittent signal loss.

I know i have low signal from the mobile operator in some parts of my home but that has never been a problem with other HTC phones i used before. If the signal was too weak it would just drop out but come back if i moved a bit.

With the HD2 once the signal indicator turns red it stays that way even if i move to a strong signal area.

The weird thing is sometimes i would leave the phone sitting in one place with four bars and then minutes later it would show up with no signal and i can't receive calls.

Even stranger is that in all these cases where there is no apparent signal, all i need to do is press the send button to try making a call and the signal "magically" re-appears and all is fine. I've tried at least four differnt radios as well as the energy ROM ... no change.

Any ideas ? this is reaallly frustrating!!!!!!
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:

[HD2 General] BumAround:
change radio ROM, well experiment with several of them by trial and error (read the sticky/tutorial first).

OR

buy an indoor signal booster.
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
Well, regardless of the radio version ive had really odd intermitant service.

the best way ive found to help this is turn off 3G / HSDPA

Doing this forces the device to remain on GPRS, it means the battery lasts a hell of a lot longer and it doent drop the connection every time the device feels like trying to connect with HSDPA or drops it for no apparent reason.
[HD2 General] ieh:
it seem that you were losing data connection .... i'm a lot worse off ... i lose data AND voice .. all connectivity ... so i don't receive calls

as i said the weird thing is as soon as press send to initiate a call,cthe signal bars come back and everything works fine!!
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
as i said, stop 3G from working, when switching between the two due to what ever reason the HD2 decides to drop it will kill your connection, voice and all until it switches back. there is an issue with 3G and im wondering if its everyone or just folk using TMOUS radio and thus recieving the extra RAM
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
To disable 3G/HSDPA to test,

Open Comm Manager and click on Phone (not the on/off switch) to go to phone options. Scroll to bottom and select BAND. Switch network type from Auto to GSM.

3G/HSDPA is only needed for internet surfing. Time, weather, stock updates and email downloads don't really benefit from it. So turning it off this way will make these type data connections go through the EDGE network which is plenty fast enough for it. When you need to surf the net, go back and switch it to Auto and you will get 3G or faster speeds for that.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I disagree. My emails have timed out using edge.
[HD2 General] flexedrubi:
same prob here

hello im having the same problem..no voice or data i push my send button an then i get signal,my wife has a hd7 and my son has a hd2 they will have 3 to 4 bars and i show no signal.push talk and i get 1 to 2 bars.

have you found a fix?:confused:
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
You could always try a signal booster on eBay for like 5...
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
If its just 3G then its probable just T-Mobile or then again a Hardware/Firmware issue

try a different ROM, Radio
[HD2 General] TheCoutures:
I have this same issue I running a T-Mobile USA (using radio 2.12 but then again it was doing it on 2.15 as well) and it just drops all connectivity and says no service I have to search the network again.

My phone is unlocked I don't know if that might have anything to do with it as well
[HD2 General] ncohafmuta:
I've had this problem on my HD2 since i got it.

Edge (E), works but slow as all get out. 2-4s ping times or time outs. 3G (and when i say 3G i mean when it says 3G in the status bar) doesn't work at all. HSDPA (H) works great, WHEN it stays that way, which it doesn't.

It can switch between 3G to H every 10 seconds.

And i'm using it for tethering primarily, which makes working painful. Lose your VPN and SSH sessions constantly. Some days it's ok. But most, horrible. btw, i'm in the Denver area.

I've tried stock roms and custom roms (primarily Energy). All radios. Nothing fixes it!

This is the only thing I don't like about my HD2 and/or t-mobile. And it's a whopper. I'm almost ready to get another phone or carrier, depending on what's causing this.

[HD2 General] mainmast2:
I have 4 HD2's with one having the problem you describe and have come to the conclusion it's a hardware issue. Probably a cold solder joint on the antenna lead.

In WinMo or Android the signal bars jump all over the place but the signal level in 'about phone' shows a constant signal even though the bars show nothing. I don't drop to many calls but miss more than a few incoming. I travel for 5-8 hrs in the same area everyday and very familiar of good and bad areas of reception. I have tried stock/cooked ROM's/Radio's with no noticeable difference.

I'll probably send mine in to HTC to be looked at.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joshw0000:
Can someone please educate me on partitioning the sd? Based on what I've read and my discussions with others, ext swap is for cache, fat32 is for apps, and the remainder is for usb storage???

I have a 8 GB class 6 (supposed to be faster) Samsung sd partioned at ext swap - 0 and fat 32 - 500.

If I'm right about ext swap (please correct me if I'm wrong), I could make my phone faster if I allocated some sd space to it??? One forum I read said that the phone is usually faster but it could have been referring to a different phone and a slower card.

If I did decide to change my partition what affects would it have (wipe sd, reinstall custom rom, etc)?

Thanks for any feedback!
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Partitioning the SD card allows you to utilize a2sd/app2sd and/or swap space on your SD card - if the ROM in question supports it.

Note that the ext and swap partitions are separate things, not one and the same thing.

swap is for swap - set it to 0 (you will never need it)

ext{2|3} is for the A2SD/APPS2SD space for storing applications (and dalvik-cache for some ROMs) - 512 MB will be more than you ever need.

the rest is the VFAT partition - the MS-DOS partition you see from your Windoze box when you mount it from the PC.

Note also that partitioning your card destroys all data on it - make a backup if you decide to partition.

Neither A2SD nor having swap space will speed your phone up. (Adding swap - for ROMs which support it - will actually slow your phone down, except certain pathological cases, unless you become an expert on the process trimmer configuration and experiment with swappiness controls. The reason this happens is because the as-configured process trimmer kicks in too late if you merely add swap and do not reconfigure the trimmer).

My recommendation? Keep your life simple and avoid both A2SD and especially use of a swap area on the SD card, until such a time as you "need it". You might find a practical need for A2SD if you are going to be trying out a whole bunch of new ROMs as they come out, or you are an app hoarder and run out of space in /data.

Probably you will never need to use a swap partition on your card.

Again, in neither case will you notice a perceptible gain in "performance" of the phone.

I was doing some research on the BCM4329 chip that our Droid Incredibles have. It looks like this chip supports 802.11 a/b/g/n on both the 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz bands and comes with both an FM receiver and transmitter.

I know we already have some nice guides that can enable the wireless N, but do they have the ability to use the 5Ghz frequency yet?

We already have the ability to use the FM receiver/tuner, but can we enable/use the FM transmitter? I for one always use my DI in my car to stream music, and a built in FM transmitter would be great!

Here is the specsheet for the BCM4329: http://pdf.eccn.com/pdfs/Datasheets/Broadcom/BCM4329.pdf

I don't really care about the frequencies (though it'd still be nice) but the FM Transmitter would be MONEY! Unfortunately, as far as I can remember All Droid members were working on it before it went down the $h!tter, and they were saying that w/o any built in Android support, or love from the manufacturers it will be a daunting task, since there are not even any drivers for that, that we know of that have been developed.
