There is a serious bug with the built in phone app , I was wondering whether any of you are suffering this.
When you dial a number manually and hit the arrow to delete one of the digits, the phone goes berzerk, starts dialing loads of 0pw00's and locks up.
Same happens when scrolling through the contacts on the phone app (not the standard contacts app) and tapping the forward hardkey to change from say a Mobile number to a Home number for the listed contact
Nop just tried it all is good.
Not experienced that problem, but i have experienced another problem in the phone app.
when you select a contact in the phone app, and push either left or right on the scroll wheel to select the next available number in the contact, i.e. business, home, mobile2, etc, it will just keep scrolling until you reset the phone. really annoying if you want to select a number other than the default number for the contact.

Yes Yes! I just tested it and it happens.
The thing is, I managed to break out of the loop.. Not sure how, but I kinda repeatedly pressed all the HW buttons, etc
Now I can't reproduce it.. hmmmm

happens here also but only if i try changing the number with the "go right" button. "go left" works. interesting because it is the third ROM and in all 3 of them i had the same problem.
My problem go so worse that I could not press any hardware buttons in the phone app. Sadly I had to hard reset. Now the problem has disappeared, but I have yet to install any apps onto my device..
I have none of the above problems

same here no problem.
Got the same problem on the call history but not all the time
French rom 1.37.406.1
Got another two annoying bugs:
- the clock that show minutes after minutes non stop (1Minute per second)
- a part of screen not updating on the SMS/MMS application
Okay the bug has returned sadly... After I spent hours reinstalling all of my apps.
The problem is not limited to the phone app, it happens when I tap any key on the SIP or press any hardware button - a bunch of text is pasted.
I created a txt document and tapped a button so I could copy all of the crap it pastes,
it is attached
This is driving me nuts and makes the phone unusable. Im certain this is the fault of software rather than hardware. Can anyone help?

To me it seems like one of the 3rd party apps that you installed is causing this. If it was me, after a hard reset I would test it after installing each app to find the guilty one.

Same here. But luckily I don't have to reset the phone. By pressing some buttons randomly I get it out of the loop. But it's annoying all the same! Doesn't happen every time though... that's quite strange. Don't know why it goes wrong, so I can't do anything about it.
i have the same problem!! hope the coming new rom can help!
Could be a third party app, I thought. So curiously I went through my installed apps list. First on the list was remote desktop mobile (the new version with the device mapping feature which doesnt actually work) - So, I uninstalled that and voila, the bug has disappeared.
Bad news is that I really need remote desktop. Perhaps I installed a bad CAB. Anyone have a decent cab that is proven to work?

there is a cab in rom development sections TLR2 thread.
Does anyone know if there is a soft reset/restart app available?
I am checking out a bunch of themes and hitting "Menu+End+Call" at the same time is a pain!
I am hoping there is a simple app that you just press, select to confirm, and it restarts the phone.
I have had a similar app for every smartphone I have owned except this one. WM5, Blackberry, etc.
I searched in several different ways and have been unable to locate this type of app. If my search wasn't extensive enough please let me know so the monitors can delete this thread.
Search the market for 'tReboot'
It notes on the market that the app only works with Dev phones.
I have a rooted phone - but, not a Dev phone.
That is exactly what I want... If it worked on a Rooted phone it would be great! Thanks for the info.
np sorry about that, didn't know what type you had or whether it would work or not on which phones, just saw it in the market while browsing around I'm sure the dev will make it better.
why don't you just long hold the end call button and press 'shut down'
Or you may get DroidSans Tweak Tools 0.87, it has a option for reboot ^^;
Or use adb (or terminal emulator) to enter the command
reboot recovery
then just wait for it..... It will reboot into recovery mode automagically!
DroidSans Tweak Tools works.
You could also use the gSript app and put a shortcut on your desktop with a reboot script.
I would think that would be the easiest way.
Yes, I just found the Gscript app today.
I think I am going to use that. I have Droidsans Tweak Tools - but, I think mine is the lite version. Didn't use the other version because my phone has JF latest mod on it and I didn't know that app added anything that wasn't covered by the mod that the lite version had.
"Or use adb (or terminal emulator) to enter the command

then just wait for it..... It will reboot into recovery mode automagically!" - Kinda defeats the whole purpose of having something that is quick and easy.
Looks like Gscript will end up working best. Then if Buttercut will work with my Home program I can just give it a nice looking icon.
Thanks!

This is the route i use.
i though a lot of people knew this but guess not. if you press call(green) button+menu+end(red) button it does a soft reset

Of course, I know about that. But, when I am constantly checking out new themes and tinkering with my phone it is a hassle to keep pressing three buttons at the same time to reboot when I could have a button on the home screen to press without having to pick the phone up.
It is just a convenience issue - like the whole cell phone/smart phone thing to begin with. LOL

Agreed. On my phone I seem to have to be fantastically precise with the timing of all three buttons at once. Even with concentrated effort it most often brings up the dialler, the menu or goes into sleep mode (annoying). I put a GScript - Reboot shortcut on my homepage and it works fine.
I am also looking forward to a application that could reboot the phone like those found in Windows Mobile. As the above reply said, sometimes we may not press all three buttons together at one go. Seems like we got to wait.

Why wait for an app when you can use a script?
Download Gscript from the above posted links.
To create a reboot/soft reset/re-start script you just:
Open Gscript
Select the "Menu" button
Select "Add script"
Enter a name for your script - I entered "Re-Start" - but, use what you want.
Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked.
Enter "reboot" inside the large text window.
Select save.
Long press on your new script and select to "save to SDcard."
Go to your home screen. Long press in a blank area and go through the prompts to add a shortcut. Select Gscript and it will give you the options to choose which script you wish to create a shortcut for. Then you can use Bettercut to give it a nicer look (unless you are like me and using a custom home screen which won't work with Bettercut!)
Why not "reboot recovery"? Then you won't need to hold the home button when it reboots. Just a thought.
I am pulling my frickin hair out trying to figure this, so I am asking for help.
I am running xRom, everything up-to-date, and the only 3rd party messaging app I have is SMS Popup, which has been disbaled throughout my entire problem.
The issue is that whenever I get a text it is playing a full song out off my sdcard, despite my ringtone being set to "Don't Panic" in the settings. I erased the song w/ Linda File Manager, and after that it chose a random tone to play, not the one I had set. This is more acceptable to me since it is an actual messaging tone (1 or 2 notes) but I am just worried it is going to choose another song at some point, which is way too long when you are texting back and forth with someone.
Any ideas?
Edit: Ok I opened SMS Popup (disabled already) to double check it was turned off, and now it vibrates, which really sucks, I am rarely close enough to hear or feel the vibrations...
Try doing a wipe and then flash. That might fix it. If you have a partitioned sd card, try repartioning it...

That sounds like an extreme but it will work
You know that there are 2 places you can set your notifications from right? Once is menu/settings/sounds and display and the other one is when you open up messaging app hit menu/settings/notification settings,
See if that has anything to do with your problem before you start nuking your partitions
Good luck

This led me to the answer, thanks. What had happened was in the messaging application at some point I had selected the music, not realizing the two weren't tied together, which would make too much sense. Anyhow, I erased the song, so now nothing was selected, so for some reason it was cycling thru the different ringtones, which makes no sense, but whatever. So I set it back to the "Default Ringtone" option, and now it works fine. Thank God I didn't have to wipe, I probably would have just dealt with it for another few days, cause wiping stresses me worse than this **** did.
I am wanting to know if anyone can port the program for the nexus to the aria, that when the trackpad is pushed the phone will wake. I know that coming from an Iphone that is a huge benefit.
seconded.
it's a pain to reach over to push the power button every time because the phone slides towards if you if face up on desk pushing trackpad button much more elegant solution.
Hello, I am a new member and I thought I'd join and tell you what I found. I've been using my Aria for about a week already. I used lock2.0 (bugs and keeps your phone running idle, not standby), nolock (basically takes away lock all together and only wakes it up), this widget screen mode (bugs) thing and a couple others..
Anyways the best solution (in my opinion) is this app called "lockbot." It wakes the phone up using the trackpad and volume keys. The free version lacks the password but if you get the pro, you can add the pass code functionality (not for me especially if you need to do an emergency call plus you can always download a kill app in case your phone gets stolen). A good thing about it too is that you can modify your lock screens i.e. iphone style, x10 style, froyo style, etc. I got 5 different types cycling randomly. You can also change a few options i.e. lock during a call so you dont do a "face hang up" or shake to unlock. The only real bug I found so far was the x10 lockscreen because it would lag for about a second.
I know a few may say "oh the side keys will get hit and drain the battery" but honestly, after using the app for like 5 days, I haven't notice any change in battery consumption. Not wearing out your power button pretty much outweighs losing a minuscule of battery life.
Hope it helps. Of course you can try out the other apps to see if they suit you =)

I'm using lockbot now and it's exactly what I was looking for. I'll keep an eye on battery life and report back if it seems to drop.
Awesome suggestion, thanks!!
Btw I was going through the configurations. Apparently you can set a lock code for the lockscreen once you swipe it. You have to pay for the swipe lock but it's free to put in a numeric lock code.
Cheers
I tried lockbot and uninstalled it.
-It does not support the Aria's native resolution.
-Won't let you load BG pics smaller than the 480 x 846 or whatever the res of the device it was made for is.
-When you press the power button to lock and then immediately hit it again, it never locks, just shows the home screen again.
Would it be hard to port the N1's app? I just want something simple that works
nope
didn't work out for me.
almost locked me out of the phone.
I think it doesn't play well with task killer.
Im using an app called "no lock" disables the slide lock and you can jus press the optical button, volume or power buttons to unlock the phone.

Same here, works great.
Sent from my HTC Liberty
This just became available on the Incredible...I am sending the file that needs to be edited to the dev who created it for the Incredible so he can make it work for the Aria as well. You can take a look at the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7267384#post7267384
If anyone has access to the phone now and knows how to use adb you can pull the file off and send it to him. If not I'll send it to him later tonight.
Optical wake working for me
EDIT-Short Version...
-:Have Clockwork Recovery Installed and know how to use ADB:-
-DOWNLOAD ATTACHED qwerty.kl (may need 7zip to extract file from archive...)
-BOOT into CLOCKWORK recovery with NO USB PLUGGED INto phone!!!
-PARTITIONS>MOUNT /SYSTEM
-adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot
END EDIT
First android phone! I love it. I too wanted optical press-to-wake, particularly because my ATT case made the power button a bit of a pain to press. First real post, been here a bit, I mostly just read/search.
Anyways...I had been searching around the file system getting myself acquainted with android and found /system/usr/keylayout.
It has 4 files in it, one of which is qwerty.kl. It sounded promising so I checked it out.
Long story short, I took a look at it, tried changing our DPAD_CENTER to WAKE instead of WAKE_DROPPED (just like the power button, seemed logical ), but it didn't work. Did some more searching and saw that the key was key # 272 on another phone instead of 232 in our qwerty.kl. I have it working now. Here's the thread I read to figure it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729923
I did this in windows...(I have ADB working and Clockwork Recovery, you should get these too, invaluable tools)
1. Boot into clockworkmod recovery
2. Go to Partions Menu and Mount /System
3. adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (this pulls a file, qwerty.kl, and puts it in your adb tools directory)
4. Now you need to open the qwerty.kl file and edit it.
5. Use notepad, or notepad++, or vi, anything really.
6. Search qwerty.kl for key 232 DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED
7. Change 232 to 272
8. Change WAKE_DROPPED to just WAKE
9. Save the file
Now we need to push the file back to the device. This sounds very easy, and is, except I had trouble and got stuck in clockwork twice and had to pull the battery, as I think when I went to select reboot or unmount in clockwork (using the trackpad...), my newly changed trackpad was probably making everything act up. So I tried twice and had to pull batt twice before I just figured I would streamline my commands. (edit-trackpad works normally in clockwork after next step.)
10. do this! adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot
This will push your new qwerty.kl file to the phone and reboot it without you having to use the trackpad which could leave you potentially stuck in clockwork recovery, thus avoiding the inconvenience of taking off your case/back.
I attached my qwerty.kl in a 7z archive so you hopefully can just extract it to wherever you need it and just adb push it to /system/usr/keylayout.
Good luck. Let me know if it works.
When the phone reboots you will be able to press the optical trackpad and wake the phone!
I haven't really tested it more than waking the phone a half dozen times but it seems to do what I want. When getting stuck in clockwork concerns me, I will simply edit my qwerty.kl file as needed when doing clockworkmod recovery work as it is a fairly simple and straightforward process.
EDIT-phone functions EXACTLY as before except can now wake via trackpad press!
Questions, why were you using the trackpad in clockwork?
Also, I like how no lock works since I have a security code on my device. When I dont feel like entering my code everytime the screen blacks out, I just run no lock and I wake the device up using the trackpad. Will your modification do the same? Or once I wake the device up, it will take me to the security screen?

Because I could...? haha. I think it did the same thing when i tried selecting with the power button as well, can't recall, and didn't futz with it enough to remember it today. Could be a clockwork error or my own...
This doesn't get rid of the lock screen, it just wakes the phone with a trackpad push which I believe was the original intent of the thread. "No lock," well...gets rid of the lock screen which is a different function all together. I don't use a code/pattern on my phone, just the standard drag down lockscreen, its not terribly inconvenient to me.
I find it a bit more convenient since my thumb is already there when I pick up the phone. Also, whenever I would demo my phone to anyone else (whether they owned an iphone or not) they would ALWAYS try to push the trackpad to wake it, and I would ALWAYS have to point them to the awkward power button.
I'm not a huge fan of installing random stuff, and this does exactly what I want. Simple fix ftw.

haven't done this yet so feel free to correct me but this looks to just change the wake button from the power to the optical. is there a way to allow both to wake the phone?
either way great work.

Lately I have noticed that buttons on my phone stick. It first started happening when i would text, it was annoying because when i would type any word with an 'A' in it it would select the text than overwrite it. It took me a while to figure out the shortcut for select all with the menu button and, in these cases, i could tap the menu button to resume typing as normal. I couldn't believe a capacitive button could stick like that, but it wasn't too often.
Then last night as I was typing a whole bunch of apps started launching. Again I had to look up the shortcuts for apps to find that my search button that was stuck.
So I have experienced this on several ROMs and I'm thinking it's a hardware issue, but I'm one of those stubborn folks that would rather try to live with things instead of getting a new phone. I already have my invisible shield installed, my ROM set up how I like, etc...just rather not go through the hassle. Has anyone experienced this before? Is this a sign my capacitive buttons are going to fail or something?
