I have exactly the same problem after I installed ROM 3,14. After some tests, I found out, that the screen buttons are working if you hold and swipe carefully, but they are very unresponsive. I think there should be a registry tweak available for this - I tried to find hints in the XDA forums without any luck. Anyone could help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alijani:
I have the same problem with all of the 3.14 based roms too.Is there any help to solve this massive problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastoneleft:
I think I just found the solution - at least it worked for me...

Have you done the registry tweak #44 from the registry tweak thread? If yes, revert back, and voila, problem solved. I copy here for reference:

"44. Prevent Accidental Link Activation When Scrolling

Do you scroll and find you accidentally click on something? This tweak is for you. Note: Can cause problems for some so remember original value in case to revert back. Note: for some, users cannot tap on screen buttons during a call. Revert to original reg entry if this is the case.

HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime

Change from 0 to 30"

Hey guys i have look through alot of threads and still have not found a solution.. i have had my Leo for quite a while and wanted to try something new so i have all of the files and information i need for Android 2.2 Froyo. The only problem i have is with Windows Active Sync 4.5 on windows xp. It will not recognize my phone.. it wont auto connect and when i try to manually do it it scans all the ports and still doesnt find it.. i have unchecked (faster data sync) in setting on the phone.. please if there is a way to fix this please enlighten me im desperate :)))
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Switch the phone into BootLoader mode. then connect to the computer. The 'Serial on the phone's screen should then change to 'USB' and if the computer recognises it.

If it does, then open Device Manager in the computer then switch the phone on normally and connect to the computer see if an addidtion device appears in the USB connections.
[Vega General] O_G:
Hi.

I am loving my advent vega (much to pauls great work over at modaco)

But one problem i am having is the wallpaper on my vega. The image get chopped when in landscape. Is there any way to apply two different wallpapers for portrait and landscape? I am aware of a app called dual wallpaper on the market, but i would like to know how you can do this manually?

Thanks in advance:)
[Vega General] orlok:
Hello there

This is a large issue being covered over at modaco.

One chap has created a template which shows how to create decent wallpapers, but its not an simple one shot job.

Personally, Ive been using various live wallpapers, which although adds to battery drain (but really not much, the vegas got a super battery life compared to android phones like me Desire) they dont have resizing or black bar issues (especially with pauls great mini tool bar mod)

I'd like to have a nice hi res still image, but until there is a quick idiot proof way, its live wallpapers fer me

rgds

when I was getting a custom boot screen i realised how to make this fit just resize the image when you are setting it it will look wrong and do it in a square but the result is it all fits :D
[Nook Color General] Xhorder:
Hello all,

I just got home from work, and to my surprise my NC wouldn't wake up, and pressing the power button did nothing. This was extra surprising since it was fully charged when I went to bed last night...

After plugging in the AC adaptor I got a message on the screen saying "Battery too low to power ON. Wait 15 minutes and try again". After about 10 minutes it powered on, and the battery widget said 12%.

Any thoughts on what the heck happened?? Up to this point, it's been working pretty much flawlessly, and only losing a few %s of battery each night.

BTW, it's a rooted 1.0.0 version.
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
My guess is that you had some process that was sucking up the CPU. I had this happen once with a turn by turn Navigator (obviously not your issue). Of course the power down killed the process and it did not happen again until days later.

What were you running last night? Did you install anything new?
[Nook Color General] Xhorder:
A few apps updated but I didn't install anything new. I'll be keeping a closer eye on it tonight and tomorrow, though.
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
Do you have a task killer installed? They can sometimes result in strange kill/restart scenarios.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Wallswitcher for me twice has had an error switching wallpapers, and when this happens it pops up a dialog informing me and then proceeds to sit there forever with the screen on. However, in this case I see around 4%/hr usage.

Maybe something similar happened, except with heavier CPU, higher backlight, etc.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
I was playing around trying to see what still worked of the original B&N stuff after I rooted and I started the app that reads a book to kids. That app did not turn off when I killed the screen. It drained my battery fast. I don't know if this is just on my NC or others, but it's worth looking at. Check Nook Color Tools/Settings/Battery Use.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Are you referring to the Fava Book Reader or something? Mine doesn't die either. I have to manually kill it and yes, it drains my battery.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Yep! I could not remember the name of the app, but that's it. :)

What games are you finding that are better on a Tablet than on a Phone?

I downloaded Dungeon Defenders. The game is optimized for Tegra Chips. You should give it a try. Awesome graphics.

What is your favorite?
[A7 General] hoagm:
Alchemy is definitely better on a tablet over a phone.

I was trying to reply to the person who couldn't figure out how to install Angry Birds.

But while I'm here...

I love: Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, Paper Toss, Pinball Deluxe, Untangle Space Out, aTilt 3D Labyrinth, Ancient Frog, Slots Royale, Bubble Blast, Jewels... (yeah, I'm a chick)...etc.

I'm having a blast and spending way too much time playing games!
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
who was this an answer to?

<-- confused.
[A7 General] okantomi:
You know there's a little tab on the right hand-middle of the desktop. You should be able to click that and your app should be there to click and go. Perhaps you downloaded but the system is still waiting for your instruction to install (happens with some apps)...then you should ckick on settings button, check notifications...if it requires you to click on install, do it. I've customized my A7 a lot so it's hard to remember just how it is from stock. If these options don't work, maybe someone else can help you.

Don't get too frustrated. This is a fantastic device...you have to get to know it and make it work for you.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Yup, still confused. So who's question was this answering again?

My speeds go up and down.. Some days thier fast and smooth and some days their just slow and laggy. I dont get it...
[EVO 4G General] theoner1:
Yeah I have the same slowdown for my data speed as well. First I thought it was just me and all my flashing addiction but after seeing this glad I'm not the only one who noticed it.

[EVO 4G General] hvacmike:
The last 2 weeks have been getting worse and worse for me. I am going to call sprint tomorrow.
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
Have you paid attention to what time of day data speed slows down? Could be just the network being overloaded in your area. For example I start work at 7am and if I run a SpeedTest during 6:50a-8ish I am in the 700-800kb range in my office. If I run the same test after 10a I see anywhere from 200-500kbs. The worst is near lunch hour and after 3pm....damn kids! lol
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Mines has gotten terrible no matter what time - and I check at the dead of night most of the time. Used to get 1.5-2 Mbps, down to .5-1 Mbps now-a-days.
[EVO 4G General] hvacmike:
.1-.4 mbps up and down all day and nite, from. .8-1.2 up and down.
[EVO 4G General] nicastro78:
This is what happens when carriers keep adding subscribers, but are unable to keep their backhaul data pipes expanding. They need subscribers in order to build infrastructure, so we the consumer suffer in the meantime.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I also have to imagine that Android being Sprint's biggest smart OS doesn't help. WinMo/BB just kind of idles when it.. idles. Android on the other hand is built to have constant background data updating, now add a bunch of both old and new subscribers who don't know better and leave the short default polling of their thousand and one apps, and you got a scaling problem.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Its quite annoying. Forget trying to stream anything its pointless lol. There was a point where I could watch netflix with no buffer, now it takes it like 20 minutes just to get to the point where itll actually play. I dont even use it much anymore because as soon as it finally plays the buffer will kick right back in. DAMN I really dont want to have to get this AT&T DSL garbage.
[EVO 4G General] Tower1972:
Same issue with me in Wisconsin.

Had 2 friends standing next to me, 1 Verizon 1 AT&T...They both passed the 2mb mark while I chugged along at 350ish k

I used to get awesome service outside Milwaukee but now it seems like complete crap
[EVO 4G General] globen:
I called sprint today about the slow data issue, I'm in green bay wi. She told Mr that a lot of people on Wisconsin have been complaining about slow data speeds. Something about waiting to get approval to add something to their towers to speed up data. Who knows it sounds fishy to me, thank God I have roam control to get better speed off Verizon's towers.
[EVO 4G General] Tower1972:
Please enlighten me as to how to do this. Im in Menomonee Falls and 99% of the time my speeds are sub par to say the least.
[EVO 4G General] kyrumo71:

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:

[EVO 4G General] tbgreen89:
I used to get about 1.5mb now I only get about .5mb. Something has to be going on here It just don't seem right.
[EVO 4G General] slugbug2010:
I noticed my 3g going to crap over the past month because I stream Pandora all day. Plus just looking at the bars I could tell the signal was not as good (I haven't run any speed tests).

Discovered today however that my 4g now rocks! I'll be using 4g as often as possible now. I didn't notice a big difference in battery drain because while 3g struggled, 4g flew, so I think that evened out.

This is my subjective opinion of course.
[EVO 4G General] GatoEnFuego:
Same here, I work in downtown Phoenix and it's POINTLESS trying to stream anything over 64k quality after 2pm. I thought it was Pandora sucking, so I switched to shoutcast on Xiialive, same thing. In the morning it's fine for the most part, but once all the kids get home from school the entire network goes to crap. I don't care about 4g, I just want decent 3g... oh yeah, my speeds are .6mbs in the evening and at the slowest i'm pushing .09mbs per speedtest.net app.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
This is an excellent video:cool:

For those who want or need to take apart a Vibrant, I am putting up a link on how it is done. I have taken my phone apart many times and fixed others. Remember this video show how to totally dissemble the phone. For those who are putting in a Front Facing Camera, you do not need to do all this, please check the FFC thread bu Siirial it has perfect instructions therein.

For those who need to replace the Glass/digitizer...etc this shows how to get to that point. Please use this as a reference ONLY ........of course what you do to your phone is you problem. I cannot be responsible if you ruin it, lose you job, your mother kicks you out of the house, or your cousin starts sleeping with your girlfriend......... Not my problem.

But............. This is a good reference video should be in your save file for reference ENJOY.......

[Vibrant General] samven582:
what tools do I need to take apart my vibrant?
[Vibrant General] oka1:
This is what i use, you can find most/all items at a flea market or a hobby shop or Home Depot or Hardware store

TOOLS NEEDED to take apart a phone any phone:

1. Jewelers screwdrivers (Walgreens has a couple of the fix your glasses kits) if you cannot get screw drivers small enough, these will work but are not great quality need Slot and Phillips

2. 2 dental pick one straight, or slight cant, and one curved Thin and small

3. Exacto blade knife with a flat shovel blade and normal knife blade. Also dull one of the shovel blades to prevent cutting if you use it as a pry tool

4. Small and thin hemostats (get these at a flea market is easiest (im in SF area where I got mine)

5. Toothpicks,

6. Denatured alcohol

7. Qtips

8. A decent magnifying glass If you are young you can use 3+ strength reading glasses and these will work perfect for you, if you are older, (like-me) well bummer man........ get a lighted magnifying lamp otherwise your eyes will have a hard time seeing

Get some blue masking tape, this kind of tape doesn't leave residue and it good for holding....

A decent table well lit and not full crap. NEEDS to be clean and open !

Remember GO SLOW, be careful be methodical, if you are unsure take one piece apart then photo then the next then photo, you get the idea. Do not rely on your ego and arrogance. Rely on methodical and deliberate behavior. This is most important when pulling anything that is high tech apart. Otherwise...... you will just make your cool phone into a brick :D:p:D

hope that helps......

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
I am getting a G2 in the next few weeks and I'm coming from a rooted G1. I have been reading about the G2 and root ever since the first way to root it was available with VISIONary, but now it seems that we(the community) have found out that the old way to root was unsafe and "fake" and now every one uses GFree. I am planning to root the phone the INSTANT that it is out of the box, just gonna enable debugging in the settings then root it with GFree. Is there anything I should know before rooting with GFree? And how safe is it? Has anyone had any bricks with it? I'm not really a noob to cell phone modding if anyone is wondering, I used to mod Motorola's back in the day before Android was around, and I rooted my G1 the manual way. I already have ADB set up for my G1(the whole Android SDK rather,) so I'm guess that all I have to do is plug in the G2 to the computer and if needed, Windows will install the correct drivers automatically then I can root it with rage and GFree?

And thank you for anyone that helps me!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
If you already have ADB set up you will just have to load the drivers for the G2 onto your computer, they easy way would be to just download HTC Sync to your home computer and when you hook the phone up the first time it will install the correct drivers, although the HTC Sync program wont actually work with the G2 because its sense based and the G2 is not it will still install the proper drivers for you. As far a gfree it is the safest way to root your G2, although I havent seen any bricks from the gfree method I have seen a few phones stuck in boot loops but usually theres a fix for it because gfree will usually get the phone to S-off stage before any problems arise.

Read the entire thread even if its long it will benefit you in the long run, if you run into any problems more than likely they have already been solved somewhere in the thread. I always read the enitre thread before trying any mods to my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Not to be a debbie downer but you may want to consider waiting a little bit before rooting, unless there is something about the phone that makes it unsuitable for your use out of the box. You may have a problem with the phone, a result of manufacturing problems or damage during shipment that may not show up until you've used it for a bit. My original G1 died a week after I got it, I had to take it back to the store where they gave me a replacement right away (That G1 still works after >2 years of daily use). If your phone is unmodified you will have a much easier time returning or exchanging it if you need to. BTW I waited about 3 weeks before I rooted my G2.

The gfree method is indeed safe, the problem most people seem to have with it is getting ADB working. I have not heard of any bricks with the method, I personally used it on two different G2s (mine and my brothers) and my wifes MyTouch 4G.

If you are already familiar with ADB you are already ahead of the curve. Though even if you have ADB up and running you may well need a different driver before ADB can connect to the G2.

The process is pretty solid and there is a lot of info here in case you run into issues but I don't think that's likely.

BTW when you are at the point where you want to install a recovery you might want to look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902493 if you are a G1 user you are probably already familiar with flash_image.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
Ah thanks guys! I'll just follow the instructions in the wiki.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
Ok, I have some more questions, if I get stuck in a boot loop when I first root it with GFree then I should be already S-OFF so all I have to do is boot into fastboot and flash CWM to the phone then do a wipe and flash a good ROM? And if so, do I have to flash that new HBOOT that is optional in the XDA Wiki in order to flash the recovery via fastboot? And when I root my phone, I want to jump strait into CM7, so for my first recovery that I flash, can it be the new 3.0+ recovery? Also if I get stuck in the boot loop, can I flash the 3.0+ one then then wipe it and flash a new ROM or does it have to be with the old 2.0 recovery? Sorry for all the questions, I have looked some stuff up myself, but I just want to double check with someone that knows what he's doing or has done it before.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Yes you need to have the engineering HBOOT to use fastboot to flash your recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
Alright, then how would I recover from a boot loop if I just rooted with GFree? Because if I just rooted with GFree, I would have to reboot and it would then get stuck in a boot loop before I could even flash the new HBOOT, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
LOLz, I rooted my G2 the night it was shipped to me, probably within the first hour after playing around with the stock setup. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
How would I recover from a boot loop if I just rooted with GFree? Because if I just rooted with GFree, I would have to reboot and it would then get stuck in a boot loop before I could even flash the new HBOOT, right? Or with GFree, do you not get a boot loop? From what I have seen, people are getting boot loops if they tried with VISIONary or an older tutorial that uses Rage, as in not the one thats on the Wiki.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
Yes, that is the tutorial that I am going to use to root my G2 when I get it, I just want to know if anyone has bricked with it or had a boot loop with it. Has any one? And when it says to install ROM Manager to get the CWM on the phone and do a backup, I just wanted to install the new 3.0+ version of it that DOESN'T come with ROM Manager so I can jump strait to CM7 as my first ROM, can I? I was just going to flash the new 3.0+ recovery with the one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902493
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
Yes, after you successfully root your phone you can install CWM 3.0+ and then install CM7 if you want.
