Suddenly for no reason as I try to type the address/town in Igo 8 the letter Åå forces it no matter what. I do have nordic letters and when the letter A is pressed it turns in to Å.

No soft reset or anything helps... it forces the letter as like I was pressing the letter A all the time.

But why? Is my display/touchpad slowly braking? Dislpay/touchpad works in every other program like the first day i got it. And no, theres is no software to explain this. I did even hard reset my phone and it worked fine for a day or two.

I have re-installed it few times and even changes sys files replaces storage card files with others.

I have stock wm 6.5 and stock rom (including the HTC official rom update) and stock everything else. And CHT 2.0.

I Appreciate all the help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stathis95194:
I've seen this before....It has to do with a sys.txt entry...Let me try to find which one it is...I will keep you posted

Edit: Here it is try this in your sys.txt

[device]

sdcard_dsk_num=7
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lurittelija:
Yes I found that and few other forums suggest adding:

[device]

type="ALIAS_TOUCH HD"

sdcard_dsk_num=7

But still no luck.

But i'll net try the igo.exe from another version if that helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lurittelija:
And by accident I found that when I set the screen backlight allways on from Igo settings the letter A gets stuck, and if change it back to default I can type the address normal.

But I really wan't the backlight to be on allways 'cause otherwise it'll turn the screen off after a minute... weird ****...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stathis95194:
If backlight is the problem then try to fool it. Leave the backlight settings in iGo as they were for the keyboard to work and play with these settings on sys.txt

[power]

backlight_manage_values = 1

backlight_manage_keys = 1

backlight_max = 10

backlight_min = 0

backlight_reverse = 0

backlight_key_timeout_BA = "BatteryTimeout"

backlight_key_timeout_AC = "ACTimeout"

backlight_key_ontap_BA = "BacklightOnTap"

backlight_key_ontap_AC = "ACBacklightOnTap"

backlight_key_on_BA = "OnOff"

backlight_key_on_AC = "ExtOnOff"

backlight_methods = 61

backlight_events = 1

skip_suspend_process_all=1

disconnect_gps_on_suspend=0

powermgm_state="0"

backlight_day="100"

backlight_night="50"

Don't know what each one does but they have to do with backlight so maybe it can help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kristofpetho:
Here it is:

Edit data.zip/config/keybind.txt and add the following to the [default] section:

x87="NOP"

xE5="NOP"

It did the trick for me! :)

Edit: iGO basically thinks that you have more hardware keys that are pressed... The two lines take care of those...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lurittelija:
Thank you all for the help but for some perv reason I can't edit any .txt file so that it would stick, once edited I click ok but it doesn't stay. Reopened and the edited text isn't there.

And if I save it elsewhere and try copy it it messis with the hole folder. I use Resco Explorer and Word.

But anyways, a huge applause to all those sharing my pain and helping with it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lurittelija:
Igo8 backlight

Just as I thought it was fixed I realized that things isn't what they seem.

From Igo8 I switched the backlight allways on and it works fine, in Igo, but at the same time it manages the Winmo backlight so that I can't keep the backlight in 30% as I normally like it to be. It simply doesn't let me set the backlight manually but to se it only to automatic. When backlight turned off from Igo8 (from allways on to device setting etc) it allows me to set it to 30% brightness in Winmo. So what to do? I wan't Winmo backlight to be 30% and Igo backlight to be allways on and in the darkest mode during night.

Some of us (noob and non-noob) do a few things that make XDA not as enjoyable for all of us.

1 - Please do NOT make MULTIPLE threads on the same topic (5 topics on page 1 are by the same person, 4 of which are all related to the same topic). Wouldn't ONE thread with everything be nicer for the OP and ALL of XDA?

2 - Edit your posts - if you forgot to say something or you need to word it better, just edit your initial post, no need to make more clutter.

3 - Be respectful... as much as you can tolerate.

4 - Try and help if you can.

5 - Rather than go back and forth in a thread (arguing/talking), PM the person. Hint, WE do NOT care.

6 - Developer's ROM threads are for THAT purpose, developing. It is NOT to be compared to another rom, and nobody cares if you are about to flash it.

7 - Post in the correct section! This is not hard... questions go in the Q&A. Apps/Themes go there... ONLY developers should post new threads in the development section. General is a catch all for everything else, related to the Vibrant.

8 - Spell Etiquette correctly (I'm flashing Gingerbread on my Nexus, doing this while backing up.... my excuse :) )

Also, if you feel a thread like this IS the issue.... you may need to look in the mirror.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
may want to edit title, it's spelled etiquette...

just friendly heads up before the flaming starts lol
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
psst...! i think you mean "etiquette". :p

you might wanna add "please take your disagreements outside of the thread or just agree to disagree".

i dunno about you, but i'm getting sick of seeing arguments when reading threads in the dev section. ~_~
[Vibrant General] ferhanmm:
Is this topic meant for that person that rides x's?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
WOW, thanks guys... my mind is somewhere else. Fixed the OP. I will continue to add if more come up, but these seemed needed now.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
It's meant for EVERYONE. Not trying to call anyone out.
[Vibrant General] jRi0T68:
Awesome post. If the xda app had a thanks button, I'd use it. I'd be using the report button, too. A LOT.

Mods need to bust out the ban stick and use it excessively.

I'm sorry if i did, but which are the exact same threads? I'm not sure i made the exact same threads 3 times.

Can you possibly tell me their title or link?
[Vibrant General] Devin5277:
Here is another one. Comments in a rom are supposed to be for that rom only. Ie. Bugs fixes, performance, etc. You should NOT compare roms.. Ex. " boomers" rom is much faster than this... " comments like this are pointless and do nothing for the development of the rom the thread is about.

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I'm sorry?

I posted the first thread "vibrant comes with 2.2!" because i'd made a thread a day or two ago asking if Vibrants now come with 2.2

Everyone on the thread said NO.

I wanted to let people know that it does, because i just got a refurb with 2.2.

the second was a question kind-of.

I was wondering why people were hating on stock ROMS because i had great experiences with it. (not 2.1) Everyone on this forum says "STAY AWAY FROM STOCK, ITS LAGGY!!!!" I wanted to oppose that because i had no problems what-so-ever with that.

I don't see how their related just because they both have something to do with 2.2 though.
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
I really dont see what ya'lls problem w/xrider is, his posts may have been similar but they are still different.

This is an open forum and with so many new people coming and going it will always be like this,theres no way to control it,and in trying to do so will only create undue stress

The only way it can be some what "controled" is to make it a closed forum :-(

And by editing does it bring in new viewers not likely.

Imho i dislike cyber arguing but some times it apperently takes a lil cyber flogging to set some straight or get rid of the bashers

This is in no way a negitive post towards the OP nor anyone else

Just to be clear i didnt think you were but others did bring him up and part of my reference was meant to be directed at those who did.

I apologize if in my statement you felt i did.

As your op was ment as a general statement so was mine. Sorry i didnt clarify that.

I believe we all fit into your general statement at some point or another

[Vibrant General] oka1:
+1 Agree totally. Singling out some person just creates a feud and that is rarely productive. The real issue is for people to try and remember that when writing in the thread, sarcasm, double entendres, and other other verbal expressions rarely make sense in written form. Plus, the macho adolescent comments do not go over well either.

My best advice and rule that always works is this :

Try to make your comments so if your parents or some one you respect was reading they would understand what you are saying and the intent.

Follow that rule and you will never have problems (of course unless you are a sociopath-:p)

My biggest pet peeve is failure to search. How many times have you seen a new topic started asking something that has already been covered in a different thread?

Does the search button need to be bigger? Maybe if it took up half the screen more people would use it

If I see another new topic with "I have froyo and I pressed home and my phone took a screenshot" I swear I will go balistic!!

Actually the more i think about it ...this site is becoming more about how people want to see it run and contriled than about dev. and tech.

Ok and so i thought about it :-)

Forgive me for trying to ne nice lol

Im sick of reading all this cry baby shyt and want to get on with tech. And dev.

Not to be disrespectful to you but in general.

I do agree with alot of whats been said but its getting to be more redundent then the threads ya'll are crying about :-)

P.s. S15274N i know youve read my posts and also know i have absolutely no problem speaking my mind i am respectful to those respectful around me and will flogg those that are looking for it :-)

Now keep in mind i do respect you and always have but i can and will dish back what i receive 10fold :-)

And on another note:since i know this is coming.... sure i dont have to read threads like this...but just keep in mind it goes both ways for everyone.

I get bored and love coming here and reading,and for the most part it doesnt matter to me what im reading...hell...even the redundent threads have different answers and solutions that help others,not to say i disagree with you on the clutter...just saying its not gonna change and we just need to pick and choose what we want to read,and stop causing ourselves so much unneeded stress,there seems to be a select handful of people here that dont seem to mind helping no matter how many times its repeated,and i know you r one of them as i am.

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
To be candid, if a thread dedicated to trying to help our forum is criticized... there is a bigger problem. It's not XDA... it's the people who are coming on here to simply troll. Some in this thread have admitted they come here for that purpose.

The Vibrant "people" have been known for being rude... look at the tweets from Cyanogen and his team. They are the most important people to keep in good graces, and their timeline is full of Vibrant users complaining/whining.

They don't like us... Eugene *one of our best* could not wait to get rid of his Vibrant (currently on Craigslist)... Master left us... certain themers talk negatively.

EDIT, add s0niqu3 to the list.. I will really miss her kernel.

I don't think some of you realize you are biting the hand that feeds you. I personally am tired of the Vibrant section. I have a G1 and Nexus and neither of those sections of XDA have this problem. What's worse, when someone tries to help, you lash out...

sad.
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
I think everyone just needs to take 10 deep breaths,relax and enjoy.

Goodmorning everyone Welcome to the Vibrant section of XDA we hope you enjoy your visit and can forgive us for our passionate family feuds. We all have our opinions and thats what makes us who we are. We are actually functional in our disfunctional manners :-)

Once again it all comes down to a lack of control and modding on this forum. If the mods would do there jobs and get the unappreciative/trouble makers out of here, none of us would be having this conversation right now.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Couldn't agree more.......... I been doing some mods on my friends EPIC phones, and I could not believe the level of civility I received in the Epic forum when i asked for some help. The Vibrant forum is way to hostile and rude.. and for no reason........... :(
[Vibrant General] caliga4221:
LOL I think I just found my new sig.

I admit when I was here the first few days I did some of the bad things I try to do better but in general I am sure I will slip from time to time. Overall I agree with the OP and I think it would be better overall if more people could follow these simple rules.
[Vibrant General] bstes1:
How about a if a "Vibrant Lounge" section was added? If you want to go there and *****, moan, and flame then have at it. Any thread begins to get out of hand a mod can just toss it in the Lounge and let everybody "Flame On" in that section. The thread is still there if it did actually contain any useful info but it would be out of sight. Just a suggestion.
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
I like that idea :-)

Bionix-V 1.3 w/a Splash of Color
[Vibrant General] philliez:
not a bad idea
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
it does sound like a nice idea but i would probably go ahead and suggest that XDA institutes some sort of flag system. like if you get 1 flag, you get silenced for a few hrs. if you get 2; you'll be silenced for a week and if you get 3....you'll get perma-banned.

once the majority of the population proves that it can show some civility, then we can talk about having a lounge.

(hopefully, i don't sound like some kind of chat nazi or something).
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I would rather see a button that is the exact opposite of "Thanks"

And once someone was in the negative X Amount, that person got a temporary ban from posting.

That sure would take care of a lot of the trolling.

If there was a dedicated section for flaming, it would encourage it... and likely carry over to the other forums/threads, no thanks!

How about adding is one, if you are not a forum moderator and a topic does not pertain to you, then mind your own business and quit coming off as Mr. Drac O’Nian, Senior VP of Hall Monitoring throughout the threads. I think most here do their best to place the right threads in the right sections and limit duplications. Besides, I think it is understandable if some things are confusing to new members. For example, the Q&A section says it is for questions about the Vibrant and does not say for any and all questions. Somebody with a question that is not specifically related to the phone itself may find the general section as the most suitable place for their question. I agree that if you are not a developer, then you should not initiate threads in the developer section but if there are general questions in the general section, who cares? We are all here to learn or contribute something. Despite anyone’s best effects, things will slip through the cracks. It’s inevitable. If you do not like it and you have nothing of substance, then move on with your life…or at the very least, get one.
[Vibrant General] caliga4221:
I almost dont want to post this since it gives away my addiction but how about a feature like the World of Warcraft and Starcraft Forums introduced. A downrate option. After so many (undisclosed number) the post it faded out. After another amount it is hidden or purged from view. If a poster gets to many of those they get posting rights suspended.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Pretty much exactly what I meant from my previous post about an "opposite of thanks."

^^ Yeah... but that's the point, people DO post questions in the Development section. And the mods here are essentially non-existent.
[Vibrant General] Danielpc:
Yeah, I get that but the point is that someone can contribute something of substance to a thread then perhaps casually bring up the issue of etiquette while they are at it. Too often I see people policing threads like some sort of Nazi control freak in situations where they have no concern regarding the topic itself. As far am I’m concerned, that is as “un-cool” and unproductive as the other items you listed in regard to decorum.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Concept is good but trolls will troll and haters will hate. Booting them will only make them come back with a new user name. Sad but true. The only true fix is if ppl hit the ignore then they might fade away.

Very true.. Will add to the list.
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
So I must admit, from a video playback issue, I've never owned a more frustrating device. That being said, because I love everything else about the XOOM, I've been willing to work to achieve good results. I have achieved great video quality with encoding times similar to what I saw when targeting my iPad, and file sizes that are totally manageable. I have attached the Handbrake profile I'm using. I hope everyone achieves similarly satisfying results. I am using Rockplayer.

OK, on to my new problem. Whenever I adjust the volume and it brings up the volume slider, the video slows though the audio continues, dropping the video out of sync. I have to jump ahead or back to bring the video back into sync. It is similar to the lag in video playback that happens when I first launch the video, but in this case, the playback corrects itself within seconds. Can anyone help with this issue?

I've messed with my XOOM like crazy since getting it, constantly installing and uninstalling applications and files. Could this be an issue?

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Xoom General] JC3:
While using RockPlayer are you using software or hardware decoding? Go to settings, scroll to the bottom and see if hardware decoding mode is checked. If not then check it, but please note you will have to uncheck the box when you want to decode non converted formats like Divx, Xvid, and MKV.

P.S. If all of your video files are properly converted H.264 videos with .mp4 containers you should be able to use use the gallery application to play all your videos, and if you don't like the gallery application for videos you can just use a file manager like astro or IO to select the videos from their folder and play them with the built in video player.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
I personally use Total video converter & I have no problems with my video or audio.handbrake just wasn't what I was looking for.total video converter works flawlessly.
[Xoom General] dvdcatalyst:
Some people have reported similar issues when using HB for various Droid models.

Personally I use the build-in Gallery for video playback, because it makes use of the hardware acceleration.

If you are interested, I have a few samples of 720p and 1080p video files on my website that play perfectly on the Xoom. Links on the site will stream as well.
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
Yes, I'm using hardware decoding in Rockplayer and I always used Handbrake for my iPad and Epic without issue. When I use the native gallery video player, the problem is worse, as the video starts to lag just from bringing up the playback controls. This is very frustrating. I will try some different converters and see how that goes.

Dvdcatalyst, I will give a few of your videos a try and report back.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
DVD Catalyst works great. I use the stock player and haven't had a single problem.

(Change the video quality to 1750 kbs in the Xoom preset).
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
i have no problem switching to DVD Catalyst but have one question...does it have the ability to monitor a folder? One thing that is so attractive to me about Handbrake is the ability to use Dropfolders to monitor my DVR folder, automatically convert recordings and dump them into my Dropbox. This makes all my recordings instantly available when I'm on the road.

Thanks
[Xoom General] dvdcatalyst:
Thanks :)

I tried RockPlayer a couple of months ago, and when it was still in beta, but I always come back to the default Gallery. I have never experienced sync or playback issues on the Augen Gentouch, Nookcolor, Droid X and the Xoom, but have heard numerous reports from people for all of these devices (and others) regarding other methods.

For the settings I use in my own software, for all devices it has profiles for) I make sure it plays as it should without the need of installing a different video player. Only for a few older iPaqs and Palm devices do I recommend the install of something else (TCPMP), but for Android, Gallery (or a player like Act1 which acts as a layer around the Gallery player to add new functionality) never gave me playback issues.
