THE FIX!

Here it comes!

The Fix for unresponsive touchscreen after standby!

Step 1: Press the power button (Red one, End call button) for about 20 seconds really hard. (Don't break it lol)

Step 2: Done.
[HD2 General] Sneakyghost:
unfortunately, that is just a myth and helps breaking it totally even faster. Sorry to tell you this but you where not the first one trying to "fix" it that way. I've been with the HD2 forum quite a while now and I have seen numerous posts on this subject.

The only real fix is dissembling the device and either replace the key panel or try to reseat it properly. I tried and failed. I couldn't do it. I damaged the phone even further. My suggestion: let some pro do it.

A temporary fix is remapping the end key to the call key.

[EDIT]

While trying to fix my HD2 i actually caused the End Key to not work properly anymore. I have the same problems now as i have been reading about and all i can say is: to get to the button panel the device has to be dissembled completely. The worst part: separating Digitizer and LCD Panel. I couldn't do it. So i never got to the buttons. I will rather try to swap my good mainboard into my good HD2 (got two, one has just a damaged mainboard, which is easier to replace).

A temporary solution is to use Button Savior from Market and not use the End Key anymore if possible.

Back to the point. After i flashed the spl my phone's screen won't turn on. If i remove the battery and put it back in and press the power button and track ball the led turns blue. If i remove the battery and put it back in and plug in the charger the led turns orange but turns off if i press the power button. That's all that will happen. What can i do? Please Help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adavis159:
try turning it on with home+power, or back+power, or vol-down+power

if you can get any of those to work you have the potential to save it

if none of those work, you now have a brick and there is probably nothing you can do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ziyad.dadabhoy:
None of those work. Am i screwed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adavis159:
NONE of them work? I'm sorry to say this, but it's probably beyond hope now.

I'm not sure how the phone ended up like that, even if you did it in the wrong order (you are supposed to do the radio first) it still shouldn't have bricked a mytouch (it will brick a G1 tho).

Do you remember what rooting instructions you originally used? that might explain how this happened.

I have over 1800 text messages on my phone. So I don't know for sure. But I do know the stock HTC messaging app lags quite some when trying to scroll back up to read older messages. This is for the long threads with over 600 messages. But also for small threads with just 10 messages. I tried installing Handcent SMS which scrolls smoothly through all of it, but I'm not a fan of the look.
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
Well, um, it may have something to do with the fact that you have 1800 messages.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Tip

Open the Messaging application

Press "Menu" key

Tap "Settings"

Toggle on "Delete old messages"

Set the "Text message limit" to a conservative number. I think 100 should be good enough for most people. (Not sure what's the big deal with holding on to thousands of SMS history...)

Does anyone know where I can find the stock android or a working swype apk? the htc keyboard is frustrating me with all its lag. I've been searching high and low for the stock keyboard with no avail, and the only swype apk I have found that didn't have a resolution problem said my trial period had ended so it wouldn't work at all.

If any of you guys could help with either of these it would really help me out.

yes, but you'll also need to follow this.

1. download .apk from above link

2. put it on root of your sdcard

3. download apps installer from market.

4. run apps installer, when it asks for settings to turn on unknown apps do it.

5. run apps installer again and you'll see your apk on sd card. just click on it and install.

6. go to settings->keyboard, and turn on swype.

7. open any message or anywhere you can type some thing to bring up keyboard.

8. double click and hold in text area.

9. select input method and then swype.

shew... that should do it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

I'm having issues with Google Maps (version 4.2 and 4.3 were tried) on my Nexus One (2.2 ROM) and the Optus mobile network (Australia).

Basically, after a factory reset, Maps refused to start, saying "Network Failure: This application requires a working data connection". This was on a mobile 3G connection with my carrier, TPG, which is an Optus reseller.

However, all other internet applications (Gmail, Twitter, Browser, Shuffle etc.) seemed to be working fine at the time.

The only way I was able to get it working was to connect to a Wifi connection. From there, Google Maps seemed to load fine. However, if I disconnect from the Wifi, Google Maps will load tiles that have been cached, but won't load tiles from new places I scroll to, saying "data connection lost, retrying".

If I try a SIM card from a different provider, in this case Telstra, Google Maps suddenly decided to work fine. So on paper, it looks to be some sort of issue with the Optus network and Google Maps. As far as I can tell, no other applications apart from Google Maps are affected. I tried Brut's modified Google Maps, and the same issue occurs.

Other people seem to be experiencing similar issues intermittently on the Optus network as well, since last year, on all platforms (not just Android):

Also, I noticed in this XDA post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583123&page=91

there's a reference to the issue (or at least a similar one) in post 907, and how it might be a DNS issue.

I've tried changing my APN from "internet" to "yesinternet", and the problem still occurs.

Does anybody know anything more about the issue, or if Optus has given any idea of whether they'll be a fix, or an ETA? (I couldn't seem to find anything at all official from Optus at all, really).

Or is there any information that we could gather, to try and push Optus harder to confirm whether this is actually an issue at their end, and if so, get a fix out?

Cheers,

Victor

Heya Victor...

I know this won't help you much, but I just thought I'd add that I'm on the 3 network in Aus with my N1 and Maps 4.3 is working fine...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

rossy_k: Thanks for the offer =). Do let us know how it goes.

The problem, and what probably makes it tricky to diagnose is that it seems intermittent, or only to affect some users. However, when those users switch to Wifi, or a different network (Vodafone/Telstra), their issue seems to go away.

It affects a *lot* of users, but obviously not everyone *sigh*. Tell us how it goes though, perhaps try using "internet" as the APN.

The point is, we may hear slot of complaining here, but its because we're part of a vocal and participatory minority.

I have an ipad for work, I had the pre and before that an htc touch pro before a myriad of other phones dating back to the nokia 101. The evo and android are the closest I have ever seen to fulfilling the promise of mobile technology and convenience.

My other friend's stocked Evo already purchased and installed SlingPlayer but I just can't seem to find it no matter what in Market.

OK...

The locks on my phone are very redundant to say the least.

In order to get to my home screen I have to do the following:

1. Press the button on top of the phone.

2. Slide the first lock down.

3. Draw in my security code to get past the lock out.

Step 3 can be shut on and off but I like this security so people can't mess with my phone. However considering I have to do step 1 before and step two also, it seems a tad over kill.

Can I disable step 2, the slide down lock screen?

Basically when I press the button on the top of the phone I want to be RIGHT at the screen where I draw in my lock pattern and or hit emergency call. I was unable to find anything in the settings. Did I miss it or is it really not there? If it's not there is there any other way to do it?

I'll fully rooted if that helps.

No Lock gets rid of both the slide to unlock and the security passcode entry. Very handy if you don't care about security, but you get your mail from an Exchange server and they force you to have a security password.

To verify my understanding, the OP wants to, on his Evo, disable the Sense drag/slide-down screen lock, and only use the pattern lock.

The problem is that the Sense lock remains even when the pattern lock is enabled. (Unlike the Nexus 1, the AOSP screen lock is automatically disabled when pattern lock is enabled).

Are you indicating that Switch Pro Widget will DISABLE the Sense slide-down lock while maintaining the pattern lock?

I'm aware of this mod. People should be aware that you will need root access to delete the file. At the same time, I read that even with the AOSP/standard/vanilla lock screen, it (the standard lock screen) does NOT go away when the pattern lock is ENABLED.

Post 2.2, I was able to use No-Lock from the market to do exactly what the OP is asking. I have an Exchange account with a Security Policy (PIN) in place and have since upgraded to 2.2. It's a little redundant that I have to hit power, slide to unlock, then enter pin.

My workaround, for now, is setting the PIN lock screen to enable after 5 minutes, however I still have to slide regardless - UGHH, annoying.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
Well, you can hit the "menu" capacitive button instead of sliding for a quicker unlock to the pattern security screen. That's what I normally do since it's a bit of finger acrobactics from the power button->aosp slide unlock->pattern screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarMatt:
I agree. Apparently this is possible, I'm working on a solution right now. Perhaps an app I can release to the market. It will essentially unlock the phone for you - you may see a bit of the lock the second you unlock the phone, but if things go according to plan it will automatically bypass the slide lock for you.
