[Desire General] executivul:
The optical trackpad is like a mouse, it detects image changes, the cloth (normal t-shirt cloth) has it wires parallel both vertically and horizontally, and it's really simple for the sensor to read it (the lines going from left to right or from down to up).

Now if you move the sensor on a completely blank surface for it's resolution it won't read any movement, no matter you move it half a mile. By blank for it's resolution I mean if it is 600dpi and the material has no difference larger than 1/600 of an inch. I imagine the Desire's optical sensor is no gaming Logitech laser mouse with 1200dpi :) 50-100dpi at most.

Back to the finger, everybodys fingerprints are different, (CSI people thanking the nature), so the lines on your finger can help or give a hard time to the sensor, I've also had problems using it, in the browser, on a hundreds of links page like a forum, I gently move the finger, the selected link stays the same than just jumps 3 links down, over the link I want, I go back and it goes back by two, again over my link, and the third time I get it right, or use the doubletap and the touchscreen ...

Maybe somebody can find the calibration/sensitivity file for us to edit.

PS: Sorry for my English, I did my best...
[Desire General] philje123:
I think you got it in one there!

I just tried with my finger side-ways (so the lines on my finger are going the other way) and it works perfectly. I think that must be why it works better going sideways than up and down.

Bit dissapointing really... what was wrong with having a trackball?!

P.s. Your english is very good...nothing wrong with it!

[Desire General] philje123:
Ok so I just got a reply from HTC about this... and their very helpful suggestion:

"Dear Philip,

Thank you for contacting us. In regards to the track pad, I can help you with that. Warning: Resetting your phone will erase all data stored on the phone memory completely. Remember to back up the phone information and settings. To perform a hard reset please do the following: Go to the Home Screen Press Menu Tap Settings Tap Privacy Tap Factory data reset Tap Reset phone It is also possible to perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on the phone. 1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button. 2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button. 3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER. 4. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP Will I lose all my calendar events, contacts and emails if I have to perform a factory reset? Yes, you will lose your data on the phone. However if you have set up a Google account on your phone, your data is synchronized and backed up on your Google account. To setup a Google account, please do the following: Go to the Home screen Press Menu Tap Settings Tap Accounts & sync Tap Add Account Tap Google Tap Next Tap Sign in Enter the Google Username and Password Tap Sign in The handset will now automatically sync Contacts, Calendar and Gmail with the Google account. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required."

Is it just me or does this seem like a totally irrelivent solution. Surely doing a hard reset will do absolutely sweet FA to resolve an issue with a hardware related issue?!

Just tried using a blank piece of paper and it works fine for me... maybe its just a bad batch or something like that
[Desire General] jonmall1441:
Just tell them you tried that and it makes no difference what so ever and there are alot of people who have the same issue (I being one of them).

I mean have you tried playing replica island with the trackpad!? It's impossible..
[Desire General] abc27:
The trackpad is nigh on useless. I really wish we had a trackball like the Nexus One.
[Desire General] kekkle:
For me it's near useless as well. With my shirt indeed it works perfectly and instantly.

Here's with my iPAQ Data Messenger, which is also optical, but works fine with my finger.

[Desire General] virtualXTC:
Me too

I'm having the same issue and am considering returning my phone and going back to the G1.

There has to be a way to adjust the sensitivity as it's possible with the black berries, perhaps no one has written software for it yet? Seems like it would sell like hotcakes if someone were to charge $1 for the fix.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClassicalDude:
I appreciate the time you are taking to read this. I searched a lot, but could not find an answer to my problem.

I am trying to implement a recent patch to bidi text rendering that was created for CM rom and runs on Nexus 1. I downloaded the vanilla source code to 2.1, and compiled it with and without the patch. Then I disassembled framework.jar and compared the smali files, to discover that the following ones were modified:

android/graphics/Canvas.smali

android/graphics/Canvas$EdgeType.smali

android/graphics/Canvas$VertexMode.smali

android/text/Layout.smali

android/text/SpannableStringBuilder.smali

android/text/Styled.smali

android/widget/TextView$CharWrapper.smali

My idea was that if I run baksmali on the framework.jar file from my Desire, replace these files with the new ones, run smali on the result, repack it as framework.jar and upload it to the device - the fix will be implemented.

This actually worked very well for a previous fix, which involved only the file StaticLayout.smali. It worked without having to sign framework.jar; however, that fix did not change the file size, whereas the current one does change it - especially for Canvas.smali. I did not try to sign framework.jar - I don't really know how to and if it is necessary.

The result was a bootloop. Logcat showed that the device is unable to load a native library:

D/AndroidRuntime( 103): --- registering native functions ---
W/dalvikvm( 103): Unable to register: not native: Landroid/graphics/Canvas;.drawText (Ljava/lang/String;FFLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V
E/JNIHelp ( 103): RegisterNatives failed for 'android/graphics/Canvas'
E/AndroidRuntime( 103): Unable to register all android natives

This is where I am stuck. What I really wanted to do was to create a script-based fix that would work on any device running 2.1. It was possible for the StaticLayout fix. Now I'll settle for figuring out how to make it work for the Desire.

I am attaching Canvas.smali, the file I think is responsible for the problem, in 2 forms: vanilla is compiled from source with no modification, patched is compiled from source after the patch. It seems that the other Canvas files were unchanged by the modification.

Thank you very much in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClassicalDude:
I am a fool - you would need, of course, the smali file that actually works on the device. Attached here.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_L:
A few days ago my N1 received the update to froyo . A difference from the android 2.1 update 1 is that from task manager ( installed from market) I can't kill anymore the sipdroid process as I was doing before update. Now it is restarting automaticaly after a second. I want to kill the sipdroid process because I do not need all the time the VoIP client and if is alive all the time it is checking all the time the conection with the server and is consuming batteries .Before the update the sipdroid was restarted automatically by dialing a + ended number
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_adventure:
Yep, that's new in Froyo - you can't seem to kill network-aware services. This caused my to uninstall Y5 (which I love) because I couldn't force WiFi off when I needed to do so.

Froyo does have it's own very limited daemon-killer, though:

Go into Settings -> Applications -> Running services and you can sometimes kill the unkillable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_L:
tried to do so but sipdroid is still restarting.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_adventure:
Yeah, I had that same problem with Y5. You might just have to wait until the sipdroid app is updated to work properly with FroYo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kam187:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusdue:
Ahh - this might be why all the task managers have been failing me?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
just go to the menu in sip droid or fring and choose exit, it won't try to restart, or use the ' running' tab under manage applications and force stop from there
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
I don't really know the problem. When I don't want sipdroid, I just turn it off. Never had to use a task manager for it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_L:
before froyo even the sipdroid was killed if I dial a "+" ended number was restarted . If I close sipdroid by exit menu this calling is not working anymore. I have to understand more about the process management in froyo.

Hi,

I've seen a Desire for sale that is stuck in Headphone mode even though there are no headphones in it. Apparently the speaker still rings,. Also the back button has stopped working.

Thanks

You're correct. I've just found out it is water damaged. Is it worth buying and fixing? The guy wants £220 for it.

Anyone with experiance or knowledge about water damage?

Thanks

[Desire General] Imperium:
I wouldn't want to take the risk.. 220 quid is a lot of money for a device that can cut out on you any minute because of corrosion or short circuit.
[Desire General] Flaggie:
I had exactly the same problem (although to my knowledge it did not have any waterdamage) I sent it to HTC, but they apparently found that it was waterdamaged (don't know why, the two water indicators I can see are still white)) they said they sent it back unrepaired, but when i got it back the sound was working on it again and i didn't have to pay them anything.

(i would say don't buy it for me only the headphone problem existed together with a notification led that is continously on. And since the headphone is continously on it will not use your speaker or mic when on a call, so you won't be able to use your phone as a phone)

Dont worry, you are only at step 1. While the fastboot screen is shown, press the vol down key and select reboot, press the power button to execute. When it reboots, select the Disk Drive sync mode and transfer the update.zip from your C: to the root of your sd card and start the process again from step 1.

Hi,

If you just go into camera mode, and so it gives your a realtime view of what the sensor is looking at, any motion causes quite a bit of lag (blurring). This is most noticable if you just shake the phone - get a lot of 'wobble'

Is this a product of a rubbish sensor, or is it software?

Ok. For sometime i was trying to do things like copy/paste/delete to the system folders.

Im aware of what im doing. I shouldn't delete the original contents of /system partition unless im experimenting with it.

OK. My problem is , I WANTED TO DELETE AN ENTIRE FOLDER AT A TIME INSIDE THE /SYSTEM PARTITION THROUGH ADB. Donot recommend root explorer because while experimenting it is useless when the device won't boot. Even though I can mount the /system through recovery and play with adb. But what all i want is deleting the entire folder (with its contents) at a time. Just because it takes lot time to delete each and every file inside it.

I tried the shell "rm" command but it works only for individual files. So, pls help. Much appreciated and thanks in advance.

Is anyone running a ROM that has no traces of Sense left in it and has also never experienced the silent call bug ? More importantly, did you have the bug before switching to this ROM ?

I encounter this bug too often and really don't want to swap phones. 1) I will likely lose root, 2) replacement phones may still have problem, and 3) I saw a post from one person who was told by VZW that they're no longer swapping phones because of # 2.

When I experimented with non-Sense ROMs, most had the inability to send or receive MMS (can't recall which it was, one worked, other didn't). I know there were patches that fixed this but not sure if they worked 100%.

Suggestions ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
I have not had the silent call bug. It is an HTC problem. I run CyanogenELB, which is built from source. There is a fix for the MMS for that ROM. It works 100% (unless you happen to be on a different carrier).

We had a similar issue with a CE device where the bmp created was all black and this was resolved by amending the dialogue box color setting in windows appearance (display properties). Is there anything similar that may need to be changed in WM6.5?
