I've seen lots of posts here recently suggesting people partion their SD cards in order to alleviate problems. Although I have no problem accomplishing the partion, I still have some questions. Plus, it might be a good idea to have a separate thread in order to help people accomplish this task.

My specific question is, does partioning the SD card erase everything on it? If so, what is the best way to backup & restore that data (e.g. Titanium, copy to hard drive, etc.)?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasquatch_hero:
I can't seem to find a good way to do this. I've used Barnacle WiFi Tether which works, but won't let me set a WEP key. I've also tried the MobileAP zip but that apparently does not work with unofficial android 2.2 roms. Is there a solution to this that will allow me to tether a device wirelessly to my phone and also work with a WEP/WPA key ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
from what i know.....MobileAP can use both WEP and WPA....its included in most custom ROMS like Obsidian / Onyx....its probably on Auxura or sXe or Nero but i havent tried them...in short if you flashed the MobileAP zip correctly and it didnt run then maybe u could try one of those ROM's that include MobileAP
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasquatch_hero:

that wouldve been a good idea...im not running nero yet cuz im wating till it goes Final...but if it wasnt already there then my guess is maybe its not JL1 compatible...but im sure it is

Probably goes in the Q&A forum for future reference.

Try a different ROM if you're rooted, and be sure to do a full wipe. Not wiping can cause some really weird problems.

If that doesn't fix it, it could be a bad power button and should be under warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
this wont work. i had the same exact thing happen to me. it started after sprint replaced my screen cause it was cracked. it ws okay at first then just progressively got worse and worse. yesterday i couldnt make the phone wake up or anything. the power/sleep button was just useless.

i did the stock ruu.exe and it didnt do squat. i took it to sprint today and i will be getting another phone by thursday or friday cause they said it was unrepairable.

OP: just flash it back to stock and take it to sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlip5617:
well i found out a fix. there is an app in the market called ButtonRemapper. Its a really cool app. it allows you to remap any hardware or software buttons to do pretty much anything. you have to be rooted. i have been lookin for this even before my power button bit the dust. so now my up volume key is my power button. you can remap keys to be the camera also which is what is sorely lacking on the evo. i guess good things can come out of problems! thanks for all the responses though!

Since this i cannot boot an my device keeps looping. i cannot get into download mode either. What can i do to recover? would it work if i make a connector to get my device in download mode?

Or am i stuffed?

I need to do it on Windows...I know it suppose to run on Mac\Linux, any free solution?

Anyway I need to get this back to factory state so that I can start over, Do it properly this time (Backing everything up etc!) I have got it half working on a ROM (most apps wont load & just FC)

I was assuming This Topic would do the job but I can see it was posted in the G2 section back in the day! So not sure if it will get me back to UK Desire Z Stock (With new HTC sense on it etc).

So basicly my question is, What files do I need to get my Desire Z back to Stock 2.2 with Sense & no root, where do i get them from & how do I go about fixing everything

i got it to work on mine, i had to un-install swype then i did a search for files with swype in them and deleted all of them, then the installer worked and the new swype also worked " version 2.15.56.14870". I got it to work on the release day, and it has been working well.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] motorjonny:
Interesting, swype themselves said that it would not due to the firmware..

Edit- confirmed working beta! I used root explorer to find all the swype files. I suggest you click r/w before you search.

You are the man sir...and quite frankly I'm annoyed I didn't try this myself lol.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] esincho:
Well damn. I need to try this. I was without swype for weeks because I deleted the default one and tried to install my beta. It was saying the english pack was missing or something

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
I was wondering if the HD2 suffers from multi-touch issues like the Nexus One:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsSUqkh8pcI

(contrary to what the comments on that vid say, 2.2 did not fix such issues since it's a hardware problem)

I plan on getting either a HD2 or a HD7 from T-mobile.

For on-screen keyboards, I want to be able to hold down shift with one finger while being able to type with the second finger. On the Nexus One, you cannot do this as demonstrated by the video above; only 1 finger on the screen at a time or you will get an incorrect input!

Hopefully HD2 doesn't suffer from such issues! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
The keyboard software is designed for all Android devices, and therefore only single-touch.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
Sorry but you did not answer my question. I am already aware that software dictates the possibility of the multi-touch but hardware is the ultimate bottleneck. Plus, there are 3rd party keyboard alternatives in Android Market that implement multi-touch.

In case I need to rephrase, I asked:

Does HD2 suffer from the same multi-touch issues as the Nexus One?

-----------

Answered my own question:

http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-multitouch-video/ Old vid, but it appears to suffer from some issues. This is done on Windowns mobile so results will vary.

another xda thread: http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-multitouch-video/ (the problem exists similar to the Nexus One but it is not as prominent)

This vid best illustrates the inability of multi-touch if attempting to use a multi-touch keyboard on the evo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P9vMAvvkGY

If you were to imagine the finger inputs were on a keyboard, you will see that you will be pressing the letters "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" or "mmmmmmmmmmm" quite often. Therefore, you are only able to go one finger at a time, making sure to lift your finger #1 prior to putting down finger #2; otherwise, you will get a "stuck" screen input

More fingers (e.g. 4) multi-touch like on Desire HD

Did some searching on the forum, but can't find a real "answer" to this..

The Desire HD supports even 4 touch points (see youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RID1q92iuL0)

Is this possible on the HD2 with a different touch panel driver? Or is the HD2 limited hardware wise to only 2 touch points (pinch to zoom)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Hd2 is limited to 2, and it has the problem where if the 2 touches are on axis's close to each other, then they will register on the same axis. Can make using on screen controls or keyboards a problem as it will register pushes in the wrong place a lot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
What about that? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651877
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ralphfx:
I followed that thread while it was active, but it doesn't prove anything. XDA member Scilor also tried to achieve multi touch for more than 2 fingerers, but was unsuccesfull.. This may well be because, also according to him if I understand correctly, the -windows mobile- driver forces 2 touch points only. However according to his information a 3rd finger was recognized, but he could't get the coordinates from the driver.

If you look at the touch panel compared to that of the Desire HD (a friend of mine has one) they look exactly the same (same "dots" in the screen).

That's all I know. It may well be a driver issue, but maybe it's safer to assume that the HD2's touch panel is limited hardware wise.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
Well it's not that big of a deal (is there any app on android that uses more than 2 fingers anyway?), but it would be awesome to know that your device supports more than 2 points.

Anyway, anyone have some troubles with touching corners? Sometimes when I'm playing angry birds and i drag slingshot by moving my finger into corner, slingshot get dragged into other way (backwards) like i would drag it on the other side of the screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
No disrespect meant to Paul O'Brien. It was a very useful tool when rooting first became possible on the Vision.

But now all I see is semi-bricks and/or corrupted file systems left, right and centre from using Visionary. There seem to have been no updates to Visionary for ages now (in relative terms). I have no idea what is causing these semi-bricks but it seems very common indeed.

It seems to be even worse now we have videos at unlockr showing people how to use Visionary.

IMHO we should get rid of all mention of Visionary from sticky guides etc on these forums and point people to using rage. rage looks scary because of adb, but I think we should help educate newcomers rather than pointing them to Visionary if they're not confident. Or tell them to forget rooting for now until they get more confident.

Is it just me ?
