You know I've always had this problem, and I thought I was the lone soul that had this retarded hardware (maybe software?) issue. I was on Royal Ginger 2.1 and never had this problem. But the subsequently left RG and started using ROM's like Virtual Fusion, MIUI, Virtual Unity, CM7 RC1 and other CM7 nightlies and all of them I've had the problem where some of my keys would just stop working, most noticeably the "delete" key. Other keys like the letters "P" and other vowels would cause the same problem as well. So I figured it's just another list to add on to the plethora of hardware defects that plagues this phone. I've used several KB's as well such as Flex T9, SwiftKey X, SmartKeyboard Pro and even the stock GB keyboard and problem still persisted in all of them.

So I thought what the hell might as well flash Royal Ginger 2.1 to see if the problem is still there and after 6 hours I have yet to encounter it! So now I'm baffled... I was for sure that it was hardware related but now I don't get why it's not happening ONLY to Royal Ginger...

P.S. On a side note, just saw the change log for the next nightly and I'm happy Lockscreen wallpaper is finally being implemented! :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Thanks for the feedback. I encountered the lag again tonight using jonasl's htc_ime mod keyboard, so I just fastboot-wiped and am about to start setting up again.

If I still have the problem I'm going back to stock. Shudder...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Yeah I just don't understand why only RG is immune to this problem... Do you have the bad or good eMMC? Just talked to TeeJay3800 on Gtalk and he was saying how it could just be because I have the bad eMMC. But I just can't pinpoint whether it's a problem with the ROM or hardware issue...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Nope, good emmc and good screen. This phone would be the jackpot except for the huge trail of dust under the screen.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Lol I feel your pain. The one I had before this had good screen and good chip except for a patch of dust on the top left corner, was so irritating and it was getting worse.

So I switched it for the one I have now which is FLAWLESS, good screen both cameras are centered no light leakeage. But of course it has the bad chip -_-
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Lol, wow... I even told HTC that I just want this phone fixed because I don't want to play warranty roulette anymore.

The dude seemed cool but I haven't heard back from him...

My girls mytouch been randomly rebooting since I flashed the latest nightly for her. I flashed nb133 last night before going to bed and in the middle of the night her bootanimation sound woke us up. All day today while she was at work she kept hitting me up telling me her phone keeps rebooting.

This is also on a fresh full wipe, cache and dalvik wipe because her last update was nb87. So I thought best thing was to do a full wipe before flashing.

Is anyones market acting weird on nightly 139? Like when you try to download something it disappears then you have to repeat or and over to get it to download.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
So even after a full fastboot wipe my touchscreen issues persist.

I restored to stock, nonrooted and everything, and the problem appears to have gone away. Now I'm rooted on stock rom with eng bootloader, no gfree, and a bit of bloatware frozen and problem still hasn't reappeared.

Can anyone else comment on this issue? I haven't run other roms long enough to investigate because I like cm7. This touchscreen issue only appeared in the past few weeks...

I don't try a lot of roms because I have a **** ton of data to sync with two Google accounts and mass craziness on multiple calendars so it takes forever to sync.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Yes this happens to me too. Don't know if you've read any of my other posts regarding this really stupid issue but it's happened to every CM7 build I've tried in the past 3 months whether it's a nightly, RC or even stable build. Happens to MIUI and Virtuous Unity.

Royal Ginger 2.1 is the only ROM where this problem doesn't happen. Not even once.

It's just so frustrating and annoying, I can't text. Letters keep freezing on me. I wanna say it's hardware related, which wouldn't surprise me at all, but why is RG the only cure?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmagritte:
I've had a strange issue with GPS. It seems to only occur in Google Navigator (haven't had the problem with Copilot, for instance, but Copilot's maps aren't very good). It works at first, but after 10 or so minutes, it loses the GPS signal then just keeps searching for it indefinitely and never finds it. I need to exit Navigator, load some other GPS app (like GPS Status, which will find the signal instantly), then quit that app and reload Navigator. But doing this every 10 minutes while driving isn't an acceptable solution as I prefer not to crash my car while looking at my phone...

Maybe it's time for a full wipe, but thought I'd check if this is an issue with the current nightlies before I do that. I was also having random reboots, as was described by several other users but those have gone away after an update. I'm currently on 139.

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sdukas:
I had that same issue happening with an earlier nightly i think around the late 120's. I did a fix permissions and a reboot and never saw it again. Hasn't reoccurred in the newer nightlies either. To tell you the truth I think it was just the reboot that helped
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Are you running the stock radio? I had this happen when I changed radios and it went away when I reverted to stock.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Yeah I noticed your posts and wasn't sure what to make of it. Stock is doing fine for me now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmagritte:
I'm running the panache stock, not the original stock radio. I'll try the other suggestion to fix permissions and see if it helps (rebooting didn't). If not, maybe I'll try going back to the MT4G stock radio.

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I got gps reboots with the other radio. All bad.

Can someone please explain this? My battery doesn't even pass 12 hours anymore because of that Phone Idle and cell standby. Its been happening past 2 nightlies.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmagritte:
I returned to MT4G stock radio and now my navigation/GPS seems to be working okay again!

Unfortunately, I was impatient rather than methodical and at the same time also updated to build 141 and to Faux's 1.0.7 kernel (previously using the stock CM7 one). So the most I can say is there's around a 33% chance it was the radio that fixed the problem...

[myTouch 4G Android Development] tmagritte:
Currently on 141, stock cm7 kernel, stock mt4g radio.

My GPS is working better but I find it's often inaccurate and its estimate of accuracy is off. While walking or driving down a street, maps will show me several meters to the sides of the road instead. Probably not a big deal for driving navigation, but if i wanted to use it for running apps, this would probably be an issue.

Also noticed the new status bar option to display signal strength instead of bars. This is pretty nice but I notice it often goes to "85" both when I have no signal at all but sometimes when I do have a signal and the internet is still working. I guess this correlates to the no bar status when you have no bars but still a connection. I don't understand what +85 means and if it's an issue with the hardware or the ROM or kernel.

I also frequently get the signal dropped entirely for several seconds where I have a really strong signal then it comes back and I have a really strong signal again. This is annoying when it happens when I'm trying to make a call or send a text. I assumed it was a network issue, but I wonder if it's the phone. I'm on Wind Mobile in Toronto. I'd be interested if others are experiencing this and if they are on Wind or on other networks.

I do have some suggestions for the statusbar display for the developers (is there a better place to post feedback than here?). With the standard bars display, the no signal and roaming status look very similar and it's hard to tell whether you're roaming with a weak signal or actually have no signal. It would be nice if the no signal and roaming were easier to identify, maybe through the use of color. No signal could be a red icon, roaming yellow. Or maybe no signal could just be a big X in place of the bars or over them rather than just a little X in the corner. I realize there's potentially a color collision with the green used to indicate being signed into Google, but since the data icon already displays this information, using color on the signal icon to indicate network state would be more useful.

For the new signal strength icon, it would also be useful to have indications of when there is no network connection and when you are roaming (icons or color would be appropriate here as well).

Thanks!

So the touchscreen lag issue is officially related to cm7.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] KenpoAP:
Am I in the wrong post? No lag or delete key non function here. It is not a nightly thing I believed. No full wipe since I don't remember. Maybe its something else.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bittermormon:
I have had this problem on multiple ROMs as well. Just thought I'd post out that I don't have it on DADDYDC's GB Stock ROM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Phateless try out Royal Ginger 2.1 for like a day or two. See if it happens in that ROM, because so far that's the only AOSP ROM that I am able to use and not experience that touch screen problem even once.

I'm dumbfounded.

Yes idle battery drain is unusually high
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Zinx Verituse:
Do those with the "unusually high" idle battery drain have wifi on?

Very little has changed that would affect battery life - you might check to see which apps are keeping the phone awake (Spare Parts -> Battery History -> Partial Wake Usage).

However, if you're on wifi, there's a chance your AP could be spamming your phone with ARP requests. I wrote some code to allow ARP requests directed at the phone's IP to be processed by the CPU, because the firmware we have to use for 5GHz won't process the ARP requests itself (the one for vision will, but it won't do 5GHz).

To see if your AP is spamming your phone, run "tcpdump" in a shell as root. If you're seeing packets (and a sync isn't currently going on), it's probably spamming you.

Still getting strange GPS behaviour. build 141, Faux 1.07 kernel, stock MT4G froyo radio.

I'm no longer losing the GPS signal after it's found, but what seems to happen when first launching a GPS app when i haven't used one in a while is it will search for a signal for a few seconds, then the GPS icon in the status bar disappears and the app keeps searching indefinitely though it seems like the GPS is actually turned off. If I quit and restart the app it sometimes fixes it but sometimes I need to first establish a lock using GPS status before the GPS will stick in other apps like navigator. it seems like I need to always manually lock using GPS status in order for GPS to work reliably for navigation. It's rather annoying. The accuracy also seems to be poor and occasionally it seems to lose the signal despite a solid GPS icon, but then it catches up a few seconds later.

Anyone else experiencing this or is there a fix?

Thanks.
