flashing on...

I am pretty desperate about this issue, because none of the methods seem to help...

Right now the buttons work opposite- Menu button flashes mad and none of the other 3 responds...dont know how it happened:)

Just a thought- while the folio is booting up the menu button ALREADY flashes! I have zero understanding in there but isn't it a process that loads / starts early in the line?

I appreciate everyone's effort trying to solve this bug as it makes this handy tool a useless pile of crap.
[Folio 100 General] roglio:
I was wondering how many folio users are suffering of this crazy buttons madness.

Mine was crazy from the very beginning; I sent it back for repair and toshiba only did a firmware restore... Nothing changed at all!

It makes my folio almost unusable! :(
[Folio 100 General] Mshr73:
bye bye crazy buttons

After two weeks of testing and a complete breakdown of my folio100, I finally find the problem or just crazy buttons and freezing of the screen.

I drag a thickness in the screen in the bottom right corner of the screen to isolate the audio connector and it works better than a miracle again.

The only downside is that the screen comes out slightly from the slot but nothing really bad.

The thickness I put slightly too big or-1.4 mm I'll Demount next week to put a finer and I'll try to take pictures in passing.

Note however that the loss of waranty is innevitable.

Sorry for my bad english ;-)
[Folio 100 General] jbbrans:
I think it's a hardware issue and even a build quality issue.

If i hold my folio at the side of the buttons, i get the flashing buttons problem (even the foliobuttons app will not help), if i hold it at the other side, i've got no problems at all.
[Folio 100 General] Jarod_:
Do you have an animated background? Because I saw that some people had this issue with an animated background...
[Folio 100 General] roglio:
Hi Mshr73, nice first post indeed :)

Could you post some pictures of what you did?
[Folio 100 General] vietnamibalzsam:
seems to get better...

I really don’t want to be too quick on this, but Dexter’s 1.4 seems to bring relief to this issue - for 2 days I have been running this mod the menu button stopped flashing!!

Any similar impressions on this?
[Folio 100 General] ^Sbk79^:
No way pal, I guess I'm in the opposite situation. It still happens to me, and sometimes I think it even got worse... well, I can always look at crazy keys as a "special feature" that no other tablet will have!!! :D
[Folio 100 General] Mshr73:
I just tested without thickness under the screen, with foliomod 1.4 and after a few hours I again the problem of crazy buttons.
[Folio 100 General] ^Sbk79^:
Well, I just finished dismantling e reassembling my Folio. Following your hint, I cut a piece of paper and put it between the audio connector and the back of the screen (yes, it was metal vs metal). I'll see whether it's gonna work or not. Crossing fingers for now.

Not that I'm so confident in leaving a piece of paper stuck right where the DC input is :D:D:D.

BTW, did you try with a smaller thickness? Even if this is the problem, I'm wondering whether a piece of paper would be enough or not. :confused:
[Folio 100 General] sader0:
thyself can someone. post pictures of before and after details?

we will be much appreciated
[Folio 100 General] fmc0:
i didn't have the crazy buttons issue this far in 2 weeks, just my home butten needs to be pressed harder. I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, i read often that users experience it when changing from an warm room to a colder one, or in regions where its verry humid(some circuit closes maybe...). so Mshr73 is on the right way as far as i can tell.
[Folio 100 General] vietnamibalzsam:
Dexter's 1.4

Really sorry mate, I hope it will solved this for others too...

Anyhow, it is so disturbing, that I was already considering to send the tablet back to Toshiba...
[Folio 100 General] Mshr73:
I'll try to do this weekend if I do not have too many customers. I post the result Monday.
[Folio 100 General] ^Sbk79^:
I'm looking forward to your pictures, too... because my trial simply didn't work.

I tried with both a single piece of paper and then with 2 pieces wrapped in tape. I put these spacers between the back of the display and DC/audio connector.

In both cases, the crazy keys phenomenon started to happen after 15-20 minutes of usage.

In most cases, it starts to show when I unlock the device. As soon as I unlock it, home and menu buttons light up with no apparent reason and go crazy for 10-30 seconds.

Then, I even tried to loosen just a little the screws (I read, somewhere in the forum, of a guy who said that he solved his crazy keys and screen lag problems this way). I mean, all screws are now locked but not too tight. Well, I have to say that I don't have any screen lag anymore (I even removed the piece of paper, from the battery area, which used to solve the issue before) but crazy keys still happen. I'm going slightly mad :D
[Folio 100 General] Mshr73:
Well ... with a piece of paper the problem Come back.

I handed a piece of cardboard and the problem disappears.

I think that to raise the screen to solve them but I'm still not 100% sure.
[Folio 100 General] ^Sbk79^:
So... it comes out that the touch sensitive keys are... sensitive ...from behind. And... imho their not isolated. At least, this is true for the menu button that you can easily trigger touching it from behind (yes, I booted the Folio in, let me say, "cabrio" mode :D).

Search, back and home button are covered by adhesive rubber. But still, you can trigger home menu by pressing in the right spot.

So... SAD but I think that this, at least in my case, might be the proof that it's an hardware problem.

Still, I'm not going to surrender :cool:

Latest Toshiba update

Hi all, on february the 23, toshiba released a new update.

I'm testing it and until now NO button crazyness :confused:

How can it be?

Mee too I'm convinced that is a hardware issue but toshiba did it!

They found the right sensitivity settings for those fu***ng buttons and also the touch screen is more responsive (no lag).

On the opposite side, no android market but official flash (for who cares... I don't).

I used it thoroughly browsing, chatting, videochatting with fring a no problems at all.

It seems that there is no way back from this update (no root, no custom fw).

Then we need to wait for a solution that will include this latest firmware and a devoted installer with all goodies we need :)

@Dexter & MrMeee are you listening? :)

P.S.: SOD is still present!!!
[Folio 100 General] marsoupilami:
Hello,

Is this problem solved?

I have a Folio since 2 days and I have the menu button problem.

I have noticed that the menu button flashed only when I touch the screen with more than one finger.

Thanks for your help.

firmware 2.2.5.0131
[Folio 100 General] kaivish:
this is a hardware issue apparently. it was discussed many times before and by many users. the only solution is to kill the buttons and use software android buttpns. search the foliomod 1.4 thread. there is a post where u can find the correct files to kill the hardware buttons(foliowidget, i think, dont remember) and use button saviour from the market to manage for now.
[Folio 100 General] ^Sbk79^:
Yep, known problem. Not solved. Probably due to hardware issues. You might want to follow kaivish suggestion. I personally use Gscript with a specific script to torn on/off touch keys. You can save 2 scripts and link them in your home or on your launcher's dock.

The scripts have been posted by Dext3r somewhere in the forum. I don't have my Folio with me right now and I'm having problems finding the post. Send me a PM you have problems finding it.

EDIT: or you might want to take the Folio back where you bought it 2 days ago!!! Save yourself! xD

and how do i do that and what is it that i can do more when i root de desire

and what do i have to do and where can i find the stuff

someone help me pls
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cattleprod:
hi it would take me awhile to explain so here is a good place to start reading about root/s-off and flashing new roms

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846248

but if your desire HD has the new firmware 1.72.405.x (check in setting>about phone>software) this software can't be rooted and you would need to downgrade the software to older version(1.32.405.x) which can be rooted you can find how to downgrade if need be here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

so if you have older firmware don't update it until you have radio s-off

hope this gets you started.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] snowmanwithahat:
So I recently flashed an AOSP-like rom for my epic and am loving it. My girlfriend got a hold of it though and then really started *****ing about her droid being slow. So I was going to try and find a nice and fast rom for her to try out.

My instincts are pointing me towards cm 6.1 but I am not convinced that I want to throw it on her phone having never tried it personally.

Also, really looking for a good and stable oc kernel to give her phone a little bit more kick.

Any solid recommendations?

[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
And why not? They DO have the new and improved (or what I like to call "How they should have made it in the first place..") Vibrant on the way. We will have to wait patiently while they scramble to put 2.2 on it. (Which is already almost outdated and the phone isnt even out yet. Why not Gingerbread? God I hate Samsung in every way)
[Vibrant Android Development] gopack13:
I second that. While I do get 3g at work, it's usually only around 600kbps down. After flashing this modem, I got about half that (up was the same). I will see what I get at home, which is normally around 3-5Mbps, but I'll probably go back to a JLx modem.

[Vibrant Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I averaged 5 runs before and after and show no real difference in down and up speeds (3.5 down and 1.75 up). I'm hoping this radio solves some of the edge/3G switching I have been experiencing over the last few weeks.
[Vibrant Android Development] JoeSkeen:
I'm seeing a noticeable increase in strength (generally an extra bar) and speed at work, where I only get EDGE. It's crazy how these modems just get better and better! I usually have excellent 3G signal at home and I often use WiFi if I'm charging, so I probably won't see much of an increase in web page loads there.

I am seeing some slightly higher battery drain, though. :/

Ok here's my un official info, places where I got zero 3g I'm now holding a 3g signal, but it holds on even down to no bars, before it would just switch to edge, don't know if this us bad or good, might drain battery holding 3g at 0 bars, but it is definitely better reception and I get one bar in a place I've never received bars at all. No change in speed yet, I'm usually around 500-850 and that hadn't changed yet. I'm typing this at zero bars 3g where before I had 1 edge, maybe it's a bad thing? Maybe it's getting stuck???
