Might be wrong or not you tell me!!

Hi Guys Im from Puerto Rico and i have a Vibrant and a Mytouch 4g and i just rooted and flash both of the devices and i have to tell you the Vibrant works better and i dont know why even in the places that i get the H icon wich i get in both of the devices so i guess right now my Vibrant is running 4g speed im using the Bionix V rom on the vibrant and on the mytouch the gingerbread stock 1.9 and i have to say im loving the Vibrant more in every aspect, just a FFC and i can kiss goodbye the mytouch!!
[Vibrant General] rel500:
hows the battery life?

lol im jk.. lets let the devs do their thing and we should have a nice treat in the next week or 2
[Vibrant General] androidcee123:
Eugene373, welcome back to modding the Vibrant! Many of us are glad to see you on the case!

I am certain you guys will whip up a smoking ROM once the kinks are out.
[Vibrant General] timmay2t:
The rom should have 3g and 4g icons i would think. But either or, is it too much to ask to just wait untill the devs sort this all out? lol.

Glad to see you back Eugene, the Vibrant devs are an excellent group of minds.
[Vibrant General] jdanisevich:
I didn't really phrase that properly, I understand HSPA+ is "4G", but I don't even like calling it 4G. Only in America! I know our devices don't support it, but like you said HSPA is faster than 3G. I'll edit that post to avoid confusion when I get home.

Thanks dude.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
Does anyone ever have a problem with their Keyboard not responding when you type really fast? I type fast and for some reason when using my keyboard if I'm typing to fast it will not type the letter I press down. Its so frustrating. So now i type slower than my swype. Lame. Thinking of getting rid of this thing. J/K but is it my phone or should i get a replacement? I'm running Bonsai 1.1.4 if that helps any.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overstew:
The Epic has an issue with the hardware keyboard, that if you type too fast, it doesn't respond. I believe it's just a fault with the phone. I think there's a setting to fix it, but the topic with this problem was a longg time ago and I can't seem to find it now.

Sorry!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
I've heard that if you disable swype, the keyboard skips less. Haven't tested it, though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Yup. The keyboard just sucks. Too bad because it's got 5 rows which great
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3nny:
I don't think it's a hardware problem. When I play emulated games using the keyboard, it never skips keys.

Ps, I just barely started using SwiftKey and it seems to not be slipping keys
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcolt45:
I created a thread like this a long time ago. I use swiftkeys keyboard and it hardly skips a beat. When using swype then using the keyboard I found it to be much worse so I just leave it disabled it. I do not believe it is a hardware problem, it is more of a software problem. No fixes yet I believe.

give SwiftKeys a try bruda.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
Same with me.... My physical keyboard skips keys quite often. I currently only have the gingerbread keyboard installed and it doesn't skip as much as when swype was installed also. I found that it skipped the least amount when I used smart keyboard. The problem is I like the gingerbread keyboard a lot more so I just have to put up with the skipping keys. I still haven't found a fix for it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Just by intuition I want to say it is probably a buffer issue. I just don't know how that input is routed on our phones. I need to set up a dev environment and start playing with it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
That would be wonderful.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffyv2:
Just unchecked samsung keyboard and swype and had no skips at all just like one mistake for hitting the wrong letter for trying to type fast lol

sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naldonnis:
Alright I'm gonna try that out and let you guys know if there is any change to it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
Thanks for all the responses. I will try turing off swype and then test my keyboard.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasseo:
Please tell us if it works! I've been having this problem forever and I HATE IT.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quis89:
Turning off Swype didnt help for me. It still does it frequently. It is SOOOOO frustrating. But thats the only gripe I have so I deal...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naldonnis:
yeah it's still skipping letters for me, but not as bad. Someone said it could possibly be an issue for when you hold down a key too long you get that stupid special character menu for certain letters. What if they could remove that? Or increase the time it takes to hold the key down in order to make that menu pop up? I mean I don't know what else it could possibly be besides faulty hardware.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnowak1981:
So it seems that the Dialer on my Nexus S is killing my battery. I noticed over a last few days that it will be at 40% or more of battery usage. It seems it keeps the phone awake. Anyone had this happen?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnowak1981:
no one out there has noticed an unusual Dialer activity causing the phone to be awake?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
Stock or custom rom?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tovar619:
i just looked at my phone and the Dialer is at 40%, then Display at 16%. I'm on 2.3.2 stock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moon-unit:
2% here for me, right at the bottom of the list.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnowak1981:
Stock 2.3.2

It's very intermitent. It's fine today. I bet it'll be back up after another restart.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
Dialer was at 17% here about two hours ago, restarted and it's calmed down. This has happened about three days in a row. Hard to replicate though

CPU Total: 4m 45s

CPU Foreground: 18s

Keep Awake: 1h 6m 12s

Trying to figure out what the trigger for this is. Do you have a bluetooth that you make phone calls with by chance?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_licious:
Have you by chance tried clearing the data of the dialer in applications settings > dialer?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
I haven't but last night I let my battery drain dead. So far today Dialer is at 2%. There is some sort of trigger that makes it stick, just gotta figure out what that trigger is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnowak1981:
Nope. I do not use a BT headset. Mine did it today again. Went into "all apps" and force stopped dialer storage. Phone lost signal for about 30 seconds, then came back. No change in activity since then, as in it stopped running.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
Has anyone in this thread having the problem by chance turned on the Internet Calling SIP accounts. I just realized that the Dialer seems to be keeping the Wifi active. I did set up my SIP Gizmo5 account and turned on allow to "receive incoming calls (reduces battery life)." I'm thinking this may be what's causing it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
I got this Dialer issue as well last night. This has been couple of times. But, I did not know what might the root cause until recently. Well, still don't know, but I might know "when" it can happen. At least I noticed this several times.

Dialer is awake when I set my phone to use WiFi ... AND ... WiFi sleep policy = NEVER.

So, when my phone is turned off, the WiFi is still active.

Then the Dialer is also awake for some reason.

If I use 3G, this has never happened.

I am using stock ROM 2.3.2, not-rooted.

Is there any app that can "monitor" and find out why the Dialer is awake?

Or, is there any app that can do background logging? Logging Android activity while device is OFF.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
Have you set up internet phone? SIP phone under call settings?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
No, I don't set that.

I just re-checked:

Internet Call Settings:

Accounts -> Receive Incoming Calls [ ] (unchecked)

Nothing under SIP Accounts

Use Internet Calling

(*) Only for Internet Calls

Should I change "Ask for each call" ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
I don't think that will matter. I turned off my SIP calling, don't know if it will solve my issue. Was hoping yours was the same.

I shall continue to monitor.

It can record while the device is sleeping.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
My buddy with a Nexus S just reported the same issue. Dialer taking 12%, no SIP installed. Wifi Sleep Policy to be off when the screen is off. Hasn't made a phone call in two days according to him. I'm running out of ideas. Mine hasn't kicked in the past two or three days, I'll keep an eye out still.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
In case anyone hasn't seen my post on this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10801621&postcount=1

Since I don't have a SIM in (and the phone is in airplane mode all day, every day), I'm thinking it has something to do with SIP calling as I have a Gizmo account set up, set to receive incoming calls. Also, the turn over silence thing didn't help me at all.

:confused::confused::confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
I still have never seen the "turn over for silence" option. I think it's specific to CM7 or other custom roms, it's not on the stock rom unless I'm missing something.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] DubsideWICKED:
so i edited all .9pngs with gimp and didnt rename files, do i have to use the draw9patch an recompile them?

an if i do where do i put black markers at or can i just draw the patch all the way around?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kyouko:
You don't necessarily have to use draw9patch (see link here) I personally would because it's much much easier to see how the image will stretch.

As for where you put the black boarder's, check out some youtube videos on it - search "draw9patch tutorial" or "9 pngs android" to see it in action. :)

Right, and bottom are for input or content, and left/top define whats stretchable. At least that's what I believe it is haha,

Currently MIA for a few weeks :eek: - Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dean.d:
You need to take the .9 off before you edit with gimp. Then use draw9 for the patch work. There is a compiler for .9's in the Droid forums that I used to use; it works really well.

[General Questions and Answers] XxLostSoulxX:
I tried MixUp and Xtreme Kernel and both of them didn't work for me after it flashed it went to a blue screen saying reboot now and went back to Recovery and said installed i rebooted it. Then after 10-45 seconds after being on the desktop screen it froze and had to battery pull. I really wanted to overclock to 1.3 or 1.6 but 1.6 didn't even show in setcpu so either i had to make a file with the correct frequencies. Or its whatever. But has this happened to anyone else or just me?

At first i didn't even overclock it it was at 1000Mhz when it froze up because it freezes exactly after the media scanner completes. I just re-flashed the Xtreme Kernel and it didnt freeze but didnt keep it on long enough to see im charging as of right now and seeing what will happen.

But Definitely the MixUp Kernel wont work. after the media scanner completes it freezes up. Everytime and yet people say its working on theirs and they have the latest like mine and this isn't quite making sense at all

EDIT: okay Xtreme works but MixUp still doesn't. really confused on all of this how people have the MixUp and it works but for me it doesn't.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinaustin:
I took my MyTouch 4G out of my pocket a couple of days to find that the power button is extremely hard to press down and it no longer "clicks." It still functions, just not properly.

I've had my MyTouch 4G for 31 days, it is still under the 1 year warranty.

The phone has had a case and a screen protector on it since I bought it. I have never dropped it and it has never even been close to water.

I can't find any videos or tutorials on taking the phone apart so I don't feel comfortable investigating why the button is stuck. If you know of any tutorials, I'd be interested in checking them out.

Is a stuck power button enough to warrant sending it in for a replacement?

If so, I'm worried that the replacement might come with an inferior screen or dings/scratches. I know a lot of you have experience exchanging phones with T-Mobile and I was wondering if this is a valid fear or not. The phone also has the superior screen and I'd rather have a stuck power button than a faded out screen.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinaustin:
After describing my problem to a T-Mobile online representative I received this response:

"^Keenan J: I see; seeing as it is a physical issue on the phone it cannot be replaced under warranty unfortunately."

"****** ******: Even if the physical issue is caused through no fault of my own?"

"^Keenan J: Unfortunately that is the case; if we are to exchange the phone and the defect is found, the warehouse that ships/prepares the phones will charge you full price of the device."

This doesn't seem right to me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:

found a work-around for turning the phone on if your power button does not work

if the mt4g is off, plug it into the wall charger, after you see the "charging" light and light in the optical pad, press and hold the "home" button for a few seconds (5-10) and the phone should boot into recovery just like that, at which point you can reboot from the recovery menu
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo221:
nexus one had tons of broken power button if you search google. the power buttons for many HTC phones weren't designed durably to perform screen wake/lock stress. knowing that, I have been using trackball wake on both my nexus1 and mytouch4g. no problem so far.

if your button's broken, called in they refuse to replace. just hang up try another rep till they replace your handset. you have to know how these call center reps work. they go through troubleshooting tree program on their computer screen. if you had bad luck end up in a tree branch says "customer's problem", the rep can't help you much. you need to some how get to where their computer screen says "replace part". I usually call in flat out tell them device doesn't power on up front, no screen no nothing. that will get their monitor to say replace part the fastest. in the process, they may ask you to remove battery, press this and that buttons, etc. they are all waste of time, you don't really have to do it. when they ask, just wait 10 seconds and tell them yep, pulled battery didn't work. knowing these call center reps are making a bit above minimum wages, they aren't really tech guys, they are computer monitor instruction reading dummies. many times, these people are in india. they most likely have never put their hand on the devices they are supporting.

And the strategy works for all kinds of tech support/customer support. be careful only use for end user consumer stuff. for IT, business level support, the techs know their $hit. tell what you know truthfully will get you better result. you paid big bucks for it, they usually don't jerk you around.

I had the same problem about 3 weeks ago. I called TMOB support and they sent a new phone overnight.

Apparently the policy has changed or, more likely, it depends on who you talk to. I'd just call back, or ask for a supervisor. I certainly would NOT take apart the phone. That would void the warranty. Unquestionably turning on and off falls under an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

The whole thing was mostly a non-event. The most exciting part of the story was that I learned Titanium Backup works FLAWLESSLY. The only thing it didn't restore was my Elixer icons.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azndemon:
If people are still wondering how to fix this just follow these steps.

Required tools- small screwdriver and a torx 5 screwdriver

1) Open up your phone and remove the 2 torx screws and 1 plus screw

2) Take out the outer frame

3) Notice at the power button area, there is a metallic circle with a black plastic dot taped on it. All you have to do is center the black plastic dot over the metallic circle by removing the tape and putting it back on properly.

4) After the black dot is centered over the metallic circle, time to put back the phone together and your power button should be as good as new.

Hope this helps the frustration.
