[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbolinao:
I am experiencing this one too. I think it's the static from our skin.

I tried putting my finger in front of the screen like less than half inch above the surface (but not touching the screen), and it activates an icon. I can do it all over, so I know its not just a delay of the screen from a previous touch.

The notification bar above also goes like its going crazy or like flickering.

The touchscreen i think is plastic and not glass thats why it's prone to static.(not sure). but whatever that screen is made of, there's some sort of static going on.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aeorcr:
Hi i think that the unresponsive screen is due to the fact that its actually oversensitive. i mean the screen is sometimes activated by the sides of the phone and the botton of the screen where the xperia logo is. I am wondering if there is a file that changes the screen sensibility? dont you know how to do it? rooting the phone or something?

Other idea im having is to dissasemble the phone and put something under the black plastic where the xperia logo is to reduce the sensibility of that area. any ideas?

I have record a video watch it to see what i mean with oversensitive. And yes this is a new out of the box xperia x10 mini:mad:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robsaw:
Unrelated effects. It isn't static, it is capacitance. These phones have a capacitive touchscreen and your body contributes to the electrostatic field that is part of basic capacitor physics so that it is possible to affect the field to register a touch by merely moving a finger close without actually touching. This is normal. The problem with random touches (when no finger is even near) and the charger problem is not normal.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gorunn:
Dont get me wrong when i ask you this, but what do you think how much your battery like to be charged with that charger? How much you think it will last?

When i charged mine with original SE charger (5V, 850mA) it takes me less than 2hours to fully charge it.

When i charged with PC USB it takes it about 4-6hours.

So, im sticking to charging mine with PC USB..

Really? Mine lasts 2 days with data traffic on, wi-fi, gSynh, gTalk and gMail always on (cause of my work).

Did you followed guides here on forum regarding a battery?

There is a guide of deleting batterystat.bin file in your phone (must be rooted)

batterystat.bin is file that Helps Android read your battery. Its not quite accurate, so, after every reflash/custom you should fully charge your battery and delete that file.

Process that i do after every reflash/restore/messing around.. I fully charge my battery via PC and leave it for ~30 more minutes. I delete mentioned file while my phone is connected via USB to PC, reboot phone and remove USB while it boots, that way, your android will see fully charged battery and pass that info in baterystat.bin, after that, im not connecting my phone until battery is fully depleted.. that way your baterystat.bin will have max and min values for battery. But, its only me, no one needs to follow this..

Also, i read that battery life can improve over time (until batterystat.bin hits the right values)..

Edit: Download Advanced Task Killer from market, it will help you kill unwanted tasks, thus saving your battery life. :)

Do you think that changing the digitizer will fix the issue?? Its like $20-$30 on ebay. And this phone its extreamely easy to open and change the digitizer in home!!

Or could this be a problem within the phone itself? i mean everything works except for the touchscreen!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbolinao:
guess i just used the wrong term. but i guess you get my point :)

but it never happened to my iPhone, and iPhones have capacitive touchscreens too

anyone found a solution yet? I have the same issues on my x10!

to me it's the same but only with CyanogenMod and only when i charge with the computer is loaded with the charger, the screen goes crazy
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Hanzo.Hasashi:
really odd problem and no one knows whats causing it at the end:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
maby the electromagnetic field from your power cable or B-usb (mini usb) connector that is disturbing the digitizer signals?

this will also explain why it is only when you use a light net adapter more watts bigger electromagnetic field

pc less watts smaller electromagnetic field :confused::confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nightcrawlerbr:
Same problem here. I almost never use the charger as I use external charger with second battery, last night I plugged it in and touchscreen goes crazy. I was using a generic charger, tonight I'm gonna use original SE one to see if it happens again...

I had to take out battery for it to stop, then I booted it again (the whole process with the charger plugged in) and after boot it wasn't charging, I unplugged and pluged again and it charged normally, no problems with touchscreen... Pretty weird.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DustArma:
I can confirm it happened with a random 300mA charger, that one doesn't even trigger a charge response on an iPod Touch 4.

500mA Charger works fine.

PC USB (550 mA?) charger works fine.

Stock sony ericsson 850mA Charger works fine.

It looks like anything below 500 mA triggers this problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] calon.pintar:
hello, i'm from indonesia, i just found another experience.

mine was xperia x10 mini pro, and touchscreen goes error both connected to wall power source or my laptop (my laptop connected to wall power source too). i've checked with tester, usb voltage was 5.10 V / 580 mA.

but the touchscreen works fine, when i unplugged laptop's cord from wall (laptop running on battery) it just real fine, the current was 5.09 V / 580 mA

but i hope there's any better solution than this (some cure, maybe)

because charging with laptop run on battery is no cool anyway :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nujhum:
I believe that its your charger,or you are using custom rom. Try to use the original charger.if not flash ur fon with seus.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nxtwrld:
I am using x10 mini pro, original charger and only official updates.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Schneckmeier:
Same issue here with original SE stock firmware, Cyanogen6 and Cyanogen7 with the SE charger.

I think its an electrical field problem like owain said.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Servus schneckmeier,mine x10 is also stock..changed charger,cable,but nothing worked!honestly I am giving it up!there is no cure!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nujhum:
Im totally sure its because of im using custom rom when im encountered the same problem as you guys. While charging theres nothing I cant and the screen goes crazy pressing everything on its own. And that is happened when im using my 2nd se charger not the one that included in my se box. Once I reallize I try using the one from the box and it solved my problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Just wanted to give a little feedback on that topic again.i am right this very moment on a Motorola charger and charging my phone through AC. Till now I haven't had any issues at all!

I've plugged my phone at 49% and I am at 71 now.

I've never came that far without problems on my standard se chargers(3of them)...hope it stays like that!i will try it again next time I charge through AC and let you know.

Just to report an case:

A friend with xperia x8 with usb ordinary cable and an adapter to plug directly at the power = problem with touch.

xperia x8 with usb official cable by Sony and the same adapter to plug directly at the power = no problem.

The adapter is from a LG Cookie phone.

The x8 have an stock rom.

The ordinary cable there's no filter like official also.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ATRAC3:
The problem is in the cable, original SE cable has Filters on both ends, that's why it doesn't work with cheap cables... And also HTC chargers have filters built in the charger, that's why it works with that charger. Ihave HTC Sensation, and SE X10 mini, when i switch chargers, both of the phones work ok, but if i try wi original charger from Nokia N97, both of the phones go crazy and touchscreens are irresponsive...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
My phone works fine on my SE cable before it broke, Samsung cables and the 12 pound one I bought from Argos. My dad's cable for his ZTE blade and my mums blackberry cable don't work at all, the phone doesn't respond to them and acts as if it isn't plugged in

Hi ;)

I got a similar problem with my pro, but not with any of my chargers (cheap usb adapter, original se).

When I try to use speakers I bought recently (the tiny, portable x-mini)

it seems, that the audio-in of the speakers interfere the same way with the digitizer

like all of your chargers.

I can't even do anything when they're plugged in (random taps everywhere on the screen,

even the top bar comes down :silly: )

Doesn't have any solution for this and I don't think

there is any :p

Just wanted you to know, that there are other things than charger,

where this problem occurs ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] GregórioAxiaMagno:
If we take a filter from a old cable and fix in a ordinary, the problem get solved??

i have this problem too..

but happen if it have chargered by non SE charger...

maybe because difrerentiation of Mah of the charger??

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Long time reader, first time poster :-) Receive my i9000 tomorrow. Excited but not interested in a laggy device so want to get customising straight away....

I've read numerous threads regarding rooting, download/recovery mode and custom ROM flashing.

I'm interested in gaining root access and flashing the Darky 7.5 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091). There's a couple of things that confuse me that I've tried reading/searching about with no luck. Please no flaming - if I've missed something, please just kindly point me in the right direction 8-)

Firstly, the lack of download/recovery mode on some i9000 devices (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091). Does the lack of ability of this feature mean that I will need to complete the fix detailed on these forums? Or am I just able to initiate the download mode whenever I need it (which should be rarely, I don't plan on obsessively updating ROMS) through cmd and the SDK via my computer? If I don't complete the fix, will the method of accessing download mode via the computer not work?

Secondly, the clockworkmod. Their website is down and says its under construction so I can't find much info about why this is needed and whether it is absolutely required or not. As far as I can tell, its a permanent? temporary? replacement for the stock android download mode. Is this correct? If it is a permanent replacement of the stock android download mode, can it be removed and reverted to the original?

With future updates, (my device is shipping with 2.1), does the download mode get updated/removed, or is it hardware based, thus fixed?

Whats voodoo? Whilst lots of pages talk about this.. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.... the Darky ROM says its optional to activate it.. but can't actually tell whats being activated or how..

Throughout all these processes, whats reversible and whats not? After installing clockwork, lagifxes, custom ROMS, rooting, partitioning, changing/partitioning away from RFS, will my device ever be able to be reverted to an out-of-the-box state ever again?

Lastly, honest opinion - the i9000's here in Australia are shipping with 2.1. Should I just root and apply the lagifx and enjoy as is? Should I just update to 2.2 and leave it there? Or are the improvements that custom ROMS provide, in particular Darky's, worth the mucking around?

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated... thanks guys ;-)

** added -- and what is JPU, JPO and JPY?? :-S ***
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metalbaswee:
You should really get the 3 button fix working. And pretty much is reversible by flashing a stock rom. I can't answer on the other points.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So flashing a stock i9000 rom resets the partitioning modifications that custom ROMs and lagfixes create?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metalbaswee:
I think so. But i'm far from 100% sure.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
1. Check your unit if download mode (vol down+home+power) and recovery (vol up+home+power) is working.

If not, get it by searching here in XDA.

2. Clockwork is a (better) form of recovery mode. Plus you can activate lag fixes there.

Nandroid back up is a plus.

3. Darkyy's 7.5 is froyo 2.2.1 so you're up-to-date if you do flash that ROM.

4. Please please please back-up your EFS folder before playing with your device!

The good **** is in the Developers forum.

You don't have to read 100+ pages. Try reading the OP of some of the ROM threads. They clearly state whether a ROM is stable or experimental. As for which is best... A quick use of the search function would have turned up a bunch of "which ROM is better" threads.. Your answer can be found there.

Hi,

gps has sucked on this phone since the beginning, but I thought update to 2.2 would fix it. Sadly it still does not work. And I don't mean it takes long for a lock or the accuracy is bad. It just has no idea where I am. Some gps status app I downloaded does not show any satillites.

I think I should go back and get a new one, or is gps broken for everyone?
[Fascinate General] madizmo:
Mine takes a fair bit of time to get a lock but i do get a very accurate signal onece it locks, it was very slow on 2.1 maybe a bit faster now on 2.2 but still realy sucks coming from my htc tp2 which got locks everytime within 5-10 seconds. If i try to get a fix when inside my house it will never happen, I have to be outside in clear view of the sky. I would say take it back it might be broken.
[Fascinate General] 08cherd4:
My phone also takes awhile to get a lock on Maps and such. I need to be outside and it usually takes around 5 -10 Minutes. when I do get a lock it is very accurate. I haven't upgraded to 2.2 yet so I'm not sure how it will work on that (hopefully better).

I would go into Telus and see if you can get it repaired/replaced
[Fascinate General] daoom:
I had my GPS working like a charm with 2.1 and it all went to **** when I upgraded to 2.2.

Edit: for anyone else having the issue i did if you have launcher pro Create a shortcut - activity - LBSTESTMODE or get LbsTestModeLaunch from the market.

You probably didn't type it in right. You could try something like SGSTools from the market; it has lblTestMode in its list of "secret codes".
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
Try turning on your wireless.
[Fascinate General] a2000rick:
So I went to Telus to get my phone replaced, and after about an hour of discussion they agreed to help me out. It was just over the 30 day exchange period, so they wanted me to give them my fascinate and $150 deposit for 4-6 weeks and give me a loaner feature phone. Crazy policy, but at least I was able to reason with them in the end.

GPS now works again, but it still takes a couple minutes to lock. On my old Acer Liquid E it takes 5 seconds. Both have Skyhook disabled. I'm really disappointed in Samsung. My next phone will probably be an HTC.

I'll upgrade to 2.2 when I get home, and see if that helps.

Ya I'm gonna try that later, but it requires root access and voiding my warranty. If a software fix is possible why wouldn't samsung release it? Do they want their phones to suck? Or maybe they fired all of their engineers because of the bad economy.

But ya, if Samsung doesn't release an update in the next month I'll see what the community can do.
[About XDA developers] bigwooly:
Preface:

I'm very aware that this is a primarily HTC device forum.

However it has a great community of developers that are working across multiple platforms to make android devices better for the community as a whole.

That being said i'd love to see a forum for these wifi-only tablets there is a growing community of people with these tablets searching for help with them.

There's already a 14 page Thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836128 and several other smaller threads about them.

All the info i've been able to locate about these tablets is scattered in rogue threads around several forums and it would be nice to have a place to get it all together.

I think that with the exposure this forum gets it would be the ideal place to see the development for this tablet take off. It's a budget oriented tablet that is going to continue to see sales. It's currently available in at least 4 major retailers in the US Toys 'R' Us, Sears, K-mart, and Hastings.

If this thread is out of place please forgive me. If there is another thread already requesting a forum then please close this one.

I would recommend another tablet though. 1 week after getting one of these for my daughter the tablet locked up so hard I can't even use android tools to access. Now, several weeks and several unresponded-to emails later, including Sylvania's direct line in Denver, I still have a brick with a warranty that sucks.

Whether or not this is in interesting tab....I wouldn't buy anything from this crap of a company based on my experience with their service.

Examples, no phone on web site despite contact info for Digital Gadgets support. Emails not responded to now for 3 weeks. 10 days since call to Denver where they said I would "hear from them in a day or two".

I am calling my attorney general to complain about the seller not honoring a return and Sylvania for not honoring their warranty.
