Hey all, I've been looking around the past few days and didn't see anything on this particular issue.
Basically, I washed my G1 and had to get a new one. The one that got washed has been starting up (slowly, and not always), but the touchscreen no longer works. I reflashed the software to hopefully alleviate any of the problems when it was starting up. My initial thought was to use fastboot to flash the backup I made on my new phone with nandroid, but the bootloader isn't working properly (I'll try a reflash of that too).
So, do any of you guys know of any other ways to bypass the startup welcome touchscreen?
Try placing your finger on the Android, press the trackball, then lift the finger and press the trackball again

Flash the ADP1 software.
Edit: You'd still need touch for that, sorry.
The driver was all wonky, uninstalled, reinstalled, fastboot works now Flashed over to my new G1's state, but forgot to take off the lock screen... Flashing yet again. Everything should be good from here.
Edit: Alright, washing the G1 makes it wacky. The touchscreen works now after restoring it to the new G1's state. Weeeirrrdd.
Edit 2: Anddd now the touchscreen doesn't work :S
well.. when my touchscreen broke i used remote control software to control my ppc from pc .. thats one way to bypass welcome screen, but won't get you much further. I used it for making a backup from my phone.
just leave it off for a while and keep it someplace dry and warm so it can dry out.
You may try to modify build.prop in the rom you flash
ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED
I think it will skip the setup
Sorry can't help myself. In the laundry?
I guess I'm wondering what exactly you did. I'm assuming it didn't make it into the dryer....
If you need the data off it, you might be able to ADB pull what you want to keep. If I'm not mistaken, ADB is as close as we have to remote controlling for Android at the moment.
There may be some places around, like PPC Techs, that can do hardware repair. I'm guessing what will happen is you'll occaisionally get it to work for brief stints after reflashing or whatever, but it'll keep conking out until the hardware issue goes away/gets fixed. Hardware issues do that, printers, routers, sometimes PCs.
Not to be a naysayer, but I don't think changing out the software is going to help.
I washed my G1 (was in pocket of jeans under the water for about 90 seconds), and after that I disassembled it to let it dry. It was running fine up to the day I SPL bricked it.
Hey.. i split water on my phone.. it couldnt have been that much but the touch screen wasnt working.. thought if i factory reset it, it may started working..
I dont actually understand all the lingo you guys use.. but any ideas on how i can fix it?

oh the main issue is i cant get past the touch android to continue set up... please i just want my android to work!!! J x
I'm having a similar issue... My phone randomly stopped loading android.process.acore and it's messing with my heart. The touch screen doesn't respond but I can use the trackball to navigate, and every acore process force closes instantly upon activation, such as dialer, contacts, music, etc. The wonderfully helpful people at T-Mobile instructed me to do a factory reset on my G1, and it should fix the problem.
New problem: I can't get past the "Touch me, I'm an Android logo" screen. When I click Emergency Dial, it force closes because the acore processes are still messing up. The intention today was to reload the Cupcake SPL and Radios onto the phone. The issue there is that I can't touch the screen to start the USB connection with my computer.
Anyone have any suggestions aside from paying another $130 bucks??
This will do the trick
google androidscreencast it will allow you to contol your G1 via your PC
...let me know if you have resolved android.process.acore im on the same boat and a wipe and flash has yet to solve it...
same boat for me too! wow, this is three, maybe 4 of us currently experiencing same problem!
I love screen cast. Droid explorer is great too, basically a GUI for adb, and has a plugin for screen cast. Too bad you have to be online though, I'd love to use screencast offline!
I'll update if I figure out the error problem!
Well it looks like a complete wipe and a flash back to non root status is whats gonna take to fix the android.process.acore issue. BUT now w/o root, I cant access the G1 via android screen cast...so im totally stuck on the "Touch Android to begin" screen... sucks to be me lol
I think I'm in the same boat. I didn't know about the screencast application before I did a complete wipe to stock. So I'm stuck at the "touch android" as well. This phones pretty much junk to me right now.
I wonder if any of you have tried restoring your latest back up?
Yes, no help, either on the touchscreen, or the incessant errors. I think there must be some code that checks whether the touchscreen works, and sends back an error if it doesn't. I've tried almost every combination of radios and spls mixed with several different cyanogen roms going back to 4.1, both fresh installs and nand restores.
Currently I'm running the latest cyanogen, radio and hard spl. I get errors often, and can't use the phone / dialer at all without force closing. For now texts and google voice work so I have at least some communication. Ironically, I can't even unroot because none of the spls will flash dreaimg.nbh, but that probelm is in my unresponsive bootloader thread.
Sorry to hear about your predicaments allthrottle and r1ch. Strangely you are right where I'm trying to get, I have warranty coverage to fall back on.
The other day my screen stopped responding to my touch completely (only about 2 months old). The phone would randomly put itself into airplane mode and when I turned that off I was still able to send and receive text messages. I was unable to view my contacts folder or make calls though because android.phone or various other processes would crash when I tried. So I did a hard reset on my phone to see if that would fix my screen problem and now I cannot even send or receive text because I am stuck at the startup for the device and am unable to complete the startup because I cannot touch the screen. The red light of death comes up briefly when the phone is plugged in but goes away very quickly even with the battery in. The phone boots normally although it seems to take a little bit longer than usual. Does anyone have any idea on what is going wrong and how I can fix my screen?
Thanks!
this sounds like a hardware issue. if your phone is covered by the warranty then just call your provider and they should send you a new one.
is your phone rooted?
My G1 is stuck like this too, although mine was waterlogged so it's no longer under warranty @[email protected]
no it's not rooted
You can try to reflash the stock rom to see if that will help or you can root it and load a custom rom and see if that will make any difference. You can always use your trackball to navigate. If all that doesn't work then like david said its a hardware problem and is covered under warranty.
I can't scroll to navigate because the initial setup after a hard reset requires touch. Where do I find the info on re-flashing the stock rom?
Just find the official t mobile rom and flash like you would any rom. Put the update.zip on root of sd card then power on phone with home + power then in your case I would wipe (alt + w) then update (alt + s). I would try to find you a link but I'm bout to be leaving work. A google search will come up with it or someone else might chime in and give you a link.

Try this.
i'm going to need the rogers stock rom ,not the t-mobile one I can't seem to find it anywhere. also will reflashing the stock rom void the warranty in any way. i assume it won't since there would be no way for them to tell but just double checking.

hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
Hey guys,
I could need a bit of help! It's now the third time I'm having this problem, don't ask me why. I've got the feeling that I read the whole forum here, but didn't find anything similiar.
The 1st time I didn't change anything (ok, rooted it, but nothing else)
The 2nd time I overclocked it slightly (~850-900 MHz)
Now I'm using MIUI.
But back to the problem:
I'm unable to use the keyboard, every time I'm sliding open the keyboard (even when it's turned off), it "crashes". The screen stops working or it freezes, the only way to turn it off is taking out the battery.
However, the bigger problem comes now: I'm barely able to restart it. It tries booting, but is restarting all the time or the screen is just turning on (in some angles you see that it is turned on but it's black). After many retries, it starts working, sometimes the bootloop is running 15min or i have to manually restart it 10 times or more. The strange thing is that the keyboard works fine, nevertheless I have to choose between using it opened (taking it with me becomes difficult ) or closed...
...the main problem now is flashing a new Rom, I'm currently trying it through the android sdk and adb, but using the power-button + x is easier
I don't think that I can solve the problem, I sent the device two times back (warranty till may 2012), but maybe someone here knows a bit more. My guess is that one of the sensors is broken, or some parts of the display that should manage the sliding process...
Anyway, thanks for your attention!

the computer isn't finding it anymore...I'll back up the data and try use my warranty... I hope that they don't complain about MIUI...
But I'm still not getting the point, why my mobile had these issues three times, although they "repaired" it twice...and nobody else is having the same problem
First of all running stock Droid 3 Rooted Flashed to cricket
with all the fixin's, Bootstrap, CMW, ... etc....
:edit ... Now with safestrap.
_________________________________________
I noticed after taking my phone out of my pocket while trying to turn it on from normal off screen while on that it wouldn't show up the light still indicated it was working I can even turn off the phone.
Taking the battery out and back in semi fixed this but only to the extent where when the phone is turned on the moto logo doesn't appear but the droid eye does.
whence at the booted screen if I were to let it go black it has a chance to not stay on unless I RIGHT after it boots unlock it and keep it lit,
(but)
the main problem I noticed was it really only did this after lets say I was typing or doing anything with the qwerty board open and perhaps I let the screen turn off after a minute,
when I try to wake it up it stays black. EVERY TIME like most of the time,
it has to do with the keyboard being open when the screen goes to sleep.
WHAT IS WRONG *pulls hair out*
_________________________________
I can't say when but I've looked everywhere
tried uninstalling every app but the essentials,
then restoring to my first restore which was after my first initial root.
Tried factory reset,
Tried flashing back to stock,
yeah I think this counts for as much as I've gone insane looking for an answer for.
I have been told this sounded like a software issue so all I'd need to do is re install like I did when flashing back to stock THIS MORNING.
____________________________________________________
I need help to identify somehow if this IS or IS NOT a software/hardware problem.
and an answer to help me fix this would be nice as well thank you.
I know I am supposed to be brief but putting in all that into google and into every forum I have delved just isn't going to put it the way it needs to be said.
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
Edit:
Ok so far since no one has said anything I have also reinstalled my old newest state, still giving me crap.
Then just did the newest update 5.7 blah and still it's happening.
I hypothesize it might be the flex ribbon cable maybe (but it really might not) I read from another phone it might be a capacitor but it might not.
Whatever is wrong the phone still is able to at times now 40/60% of the time work properly and wake normal but then again not.
__________________________________________
Right as of now I have put isc to see if this helps .......... .... to be continued or helped.
I'm back, well ics installed fine after the second time made it boot loop over and over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can receive calls now
but
no sms, mms, or internet.
(even though the network status settings are blank it's weird I can still receive calls, and send calls.)
since you can't restore the apn's with 3rd party I now have this NEW issue.
the phone goes unresponsive within cdma workshop and ##Program does not work.
I'd like some help in finding out now how to if it is possible yet to properly flash to cricket and or just change my apns and get into cdma as well as QPST.

PLEASE I NEED HELP thank you

Yeah, it does sound like a hardware problem. If nobody else can help you fix it, you'll need to reflash the latest OTA update (or revert to your safestrap nandroid), unroot it and restore all the system apps that you may have frozen/deleted, and hope that Verizon will replace it.
Thanks

Thanks for your input.
(verizon wouldn't replace it since I baught it from someone else (legit) and I don't have verizon.
UNLESS you think if I had the previous owner take it into the store could they replace it? what steps would they take to see if it was rooted?
_______________________
I never unrooted it when I did allll of this
Do you think rerooting is soumething that I should have done before doing this?
Or most likely is this a flex ribbon cable thing ....
I just tried the diagnostic (leave keyboard open then turn the screen off and on thing)
it came on at least 3 times normal then it didn't either right after the 3rd try or upon closing the qwerty board ...
also do you have an answer at all for the ics portion of my problem?
THANK YOU
___________________________________________________________
EDIT!!!!!!!! Actually realized I did reroot after the sbf ota flash .....
so all things aside yehs I also did that any other solutions inquiries ...
ANYONE ELSE PLEASE HELP!
Another path to try down is Motorola - depending on the age of the phone, I believe there's a warranty through them.

Sorry didn't read the part about you being on cricket. Maybe you could make friends with someone that has d3 on verizon have them activate it and take it in for you.
