Hi all,
I have troublesome problem. Could you help me. My phone is ADP1.
If the real keyboard is closed, and phone is locked then I cannot use menu button to unlock, it does not display anything , keyboard is bright
If the real keyboard is opened, and phone is locked then I can use menu to unlock, it displays, keyboard is bright as normal.
While the phone is unlocked, whether the real keyboard is opened or closed, it works as normal.
The problem is I cannot unlock the phone while the real keyboard is closed. It' really crazy
I also try to downgrade to 1.0, upgrade to 1.5, the result is the same.
Please help me
Thanks in advance.
That's horrible, I have to slide the keyboard to take a call
I still wait for god

Ok this may be a dumb question but I have been searching for the answer and can not find it any where. I want to unlock and have the screen come on( comeout of standby) by sliding the keyboard out.
Like when you flip out the screen on the side kick.
I have the 2.17 custom rom by xelencin if that helps.
Thanks
I really want that feature too!
To add a same thing to your question, can i unlock the machine with one hand?
I have smartkey installed but everytime i try to unlock the screen, it said I have to press Unlock, and there is no way to press it with a softbutton, i have to either do it with a stylus or the keyboard....

and leave fingerprint smurk on the screen you mean?
The only problem I could see with sliding to turn on / unlock etc is that the magnetic catch on the standard case would then activate the switch on etc... I'm sure it would be possible to intercept this trigger in some way even when the OS is in standby but I can see issues with the device turning on when used with the standard case...
The screen doesn't rotate when you open the keyboard until aftr the device is turned on, which suggests to me that the position of he keyboard isn't monitored by the device when it's switched off. If this is the case ten it would be impossiblt to have the keyboard switch turn the device on.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, pretty sure sliding the keyboard out does not create a wakeup event. It is possible that something like MortSaver could be used to mimic this function - that's a program that turns off the screen and locks the buttons when you press a hotkey - i.e. it doesn't put the device into standby, it just kinda puts it into low power mode. I'm pretty sure that could be rewritten to turn the screen back on when the keyboard slides out. Perhaps if you plead with the author...
Greets,
While the subject line really says it all, I have intermittent luck with getting the little picture of the keyboard at the bottom of the screen to actually bring up a keyboard.
Does anyone know what this may be, and how I can reset it (without a soft reboot). I can get it to bring up the selector (which lists the screen keyboard as active), but I cannot actually bring up the keyboard.
Thanks!
Hhmmm
I say try a hard reset...I know that's a sucky thing to do ....but I think it will fix you problem
My friends G1 is unresponsive whenever the screen is closed, but seems to work when sliding it open. The funny thing is, while the device doesn't perform any actions when the screen is closed, it still seems to be responding to touch. When the screen is opened again, your touched actions will "catch up" and the phone responds. This happens from recovery mode as well as in Android.
Can anyone help?
Anyone? Please?

The phone is in standby/sleep mode while screen is off, so you cant use the touch screen. You must double tap Menu to get to the home screen.While in recovery mode you cant use the touch screen cause you have to use the hardware buttons or the trackball. Im guessing you were unaware that the phone goes into sleep mode. When you slide the KB the phone wakes from sleep mode and allows you to use it.You only have to slide it when you need it not just to do it randomly.
No no, sorry if I worded it incorrectly. The screen is on and it is frozen when the slider is closed. Once you open the keyboard, everything works fine. As soon as you slide it in, the screen freezes on its current display and stops updating.

What rom are you using?
If it is a hero rom then it doesnt work while in landscape mode so you cant open the KB while on home.
Its a 2.1 ROM by Kingx
The screen behaves the same in and out of android though...such as in the recovery (JFv1.4) console. If the screen is closed, the screen "freezes", but the frozen picture is still displayed. If you slide the screen ouţand expose the keyboard, it works fine. The phone otherwise operates normally, as does the standby mode.

You need to upgrade your recovery though

Try wiping and reinstall the rom and wipe everything.Also you need a task manager cause you might have a billion apps open.
I'll try it on his phone when I get off work. Thanks for the recovery link. Do you prefer this over JF?

JF is super old and lacks many features from Amon_Ra. But it's based off of Cyan 1.4 recovery. It makes a lot of things easier like partitioning,wiping,backup,restoring roms.
Alright,
Home now with his phone. I swapped JF's recovery with RA. The issue still exists, and I'm wondering if it's hardware related...
This is frustrating. I don't know if I can fix it for him...
The problem seems to have gotten worse on its own. If the screen is closed at all, the screen will go black with a slight image shown with what seems to be an unworking backlight. However, upon sliding the keyboard open again, the backlight does not return until the device is rebooted while leaving the keyboard open.
Edit:
The backlight seems to come on sometimes when you slide the screen open...

You might wanna wipe and install another rom to see if the problem stays.There might be a hardware problem with your phone.
I've wiped and tried a couple of other ROMs but the issue persists. If it's a hardware issue, is there anything I can try to fix it?

It could be the ribbon that connects to the display.If you can find the assembly guide you could replace the broken or loose piece.But i'm not 100% on which part of the display needs to be replaced.You could ask someone at T-Mobile or at a electronics store what the problem is.HTC offers a free 2yr warranty so you might be able to get a replacement.
Bumping this to see if this was ever resolved. Having the same issue, and considering replacing it brand new, but wanted to know what exactly needs to be replaced so I can order it.
How can I keep the navigation keys lit whenever the phone is unlocked and the screen is on? It would help me hit the right one the first time! Pretty new to all of this but I've searched and was unsuccesfull. I've just installed LauncherPro. On Eclair.
I don't think there is a way to that. However, if the phone is not lock, touch anyway on the screen will light up those buttons.
thanks for the reply. I suspected as much after searching turned up nothing. At least now I know. A little behaviour modification on my part and I'm good to go.
I don't know when it started but I'm quite sure that I used to be able to use the touchscreen with the keyboard extended. I am running the latest hboot and radio with the cyanogen nightlies and newest pershoot kernel.
Is anybody have this problem?
Perhaps I just need to reflash radio and hboot but its weird because it works fine with the keyboard closed.
Thanks for your help.

Your definitely supposed to be able to use the touchscreen when the keyboards out, That's how I use my phone most of the time. I think it's a hardware problem to me like some cable to the touchscreen got messed up so when you open up your keyboard it gets disconnected, but I really don't know could be wrong. Also, I don't see how reflashing hboot or the radio will fix it, as far as I know they don't affect the touchscreen at all.

As "Ianlikescake" Said its hardware not software. I work in a second hand phone shop & the most common problem with the G1 (Apart from people abusing this beautiful device) is a ribbon cable tears in the back when the screen has been opened & closed a lot.
Normally when it goes the touch screen goes completely but we have had one customer when the same thing happened to him as in your situation, We sent the phone off to be repaired & all they did was replace the cable
So re flashing the radio & hboot wont fix it, Sorry!

My phone has a problem not really similar but it still has to do with the screen. When i lock the phone and when I try to unlock it when the screen is down the screen doesn't turn on. But when I flip the screen up the screen turns on. Once I unlock the phone the screen works fine i flip it back down and it works untill it locks. So do you think it's a problem with the ribbon cable?

I think I have a similar issue. Whenever I have the keyboard closed, the screen will not turn on when you press the end-key. Only the LED lights will turn on. When you flip the keyboard out, the screen turns on and the phone is functional.
Over the next few weeks, I then realized that this only happens when the phone's keyboard is completely closed. If you leave the keyboard out 1cm or so (to the point where you can only see the spacebar), you can turn on the phone. Check to see if it works for you.

That used to work for me but now the problem got worse. Sometimes even when the keyboards out the screen doesn't turn on so I have to mess with the screen for a little bit till it works. Now I know it's the cable that's messed up. I think the reason it's like this is from repetitive flipping out the screen. I gotta be more careful next time if i can fix it.
