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.
I tried doing a search but I honestly don't know what to enter--tried button layout, android controls, etc--no dice.
On the Touch, it used to be that if you held the camera button down, it took you straight to home. That does not seem to be the case anymore. Can anyone tell me if the Touch has a way to do that now--and if not, how in the world are you getting out of the browser without losing all of your progress? Task Switcher doesn't seem to allow me to choose my home screen, and if I switch to something else and then exit out of that, my browser is waiting for me, like the sneaky bastard it is.

if you aare using an nbh that has the task switcher built into it, then you need to only hold the camera button for a second for home.
tap - back
hold for a sec - home
long hold - task switcher
Awesome! It's going to take some getting used to, but this is a huge help.
Now if I could only figure out how to install themes...

go to how to install an update
Some ROMs are configured with the Answer key as some kind of headset key, so you can use it to answer/hang up/play/pause. This could be quite annoying since you can accidentally hit the button when you have the phone in a pocket.
This "app" clears your playlist, so hitting the play button doesn't do anything. Instead of using volume->pause to stop music you just pin the app to the homescreen and tap on it. To resume you'll have to go back into Zune and start a playlist.
Update 2011-09-01: I've updated the xap package to support Mango. I've also removed all unnecessary permissions from the app manifest.

Thanks m8, will check it out
Great job, the app does what it is supposed to do, but...
I get an error about DRM-stuff etc.
It works, but it would be great if the error cold be lost
Sounds good, I have this problem with my current ROM (Back to the Future v2 Mango ROM) as I did with the previous one. I think that I like the use of the button but just wish it didn't work while the phone was locked. I found myself restarting the phone to clear the music so nothing was playing just to get around this issue.
I'm updating my Windows Phone Developer Tool to 7.1 Beta hoping that this will enable me to sideload XAPs (currently I'm on dev tools 7.0 and it isn't working). I shall report back if I can actually install this XAP and if it does what I need it to do. Thanks for creating this
Damn, the XAP installer isn't working for me (Tom's XAP installer 1.2) despite updating the Windows Phone 7 developer tools. I now read a reset of the device once getting to build 7720 may resolve this issue but that would mean setting the phone up again Oh well, I'll try the app as soon as I get to the bottom of the XAP issue.
It's a good idea, but it keeps crashing with DRM error after doing its job.
Regards

I've updated the xap in the first post. It should now support Mango.
I figured out that resetting the phone would allow XAP installation so got around that issue last night when I completely wiped my HD2 and flashed the new v2 with updated radio onto my phone. I was hoping I wouldn't have to reset after spending ages setting the phone up but never mind.
I can confirm the new version of this app does exactly what it says on the tin I had issues with the older version as already reported when running on Mango, the new version works with no errors and clears the playlist which prevents any resuming of music from my pocket (running build 7720).
Thank you Ooije
One thing that pisses me off, if Im done listening to a podcast or a song when I press back and go back to the homescreen, if I change the volume the Play Rewind and FastForward buttons are all still there.
When I am in lock screen they are also all still there. (Sometimes I hit end button and then the play button gets hit on the screen in my pocket)
Is there anyway to get rid of those buttons, like closing the zune player so its not running in background even when you hit the back button on it.

That's exactly what this app does . I just tried it with a podcast using build 7712 and it's working properly. Since you wrote in this thread I assume it didn't work for you? If so, which OS version are you using?
New version works great! Error which I reported earlier is now fixed! Now let's hope that Microsoft will implement such a feature in a next update.
Excellent job Ooije, works a treat!
Its good to have the functionality of the hard button, but better to be able to switch it off!
(I recently had Prince-U sexy MF start when at a client's house!)

Wonderful app...
This is a great app, exactly what I'm looking for...
Can't understand why WP7 works in this way in the first place?
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?

Have you tried reflashing with rsdlite? If that doesn't fix it I would think hardware in some way

No I haven't tried that, may have too i suppose.
Hi. first time in forums.
and my old phone had android 2.3, so this is my real first SMARTphone.
Its a first gen moto X, and i have a doubt.
First I open any application and I minimize it, so
When i am in any menu, playstore menu, whatsapp conversation (inside the conversation) , etc, and and I press 2 times followed the arrow "back"
before back to the app box, the las app (opened in the first step) opens and closes automatically.
if I do it slow, the problem disappears.
Sorry for my english, i have a video for better explication. In this time, the app chosed its Facebook. (sec 00:17 in the video).

Thanks you.
Mine does this too, on occasion. It will "flash" or briefly show an app that I am no longer using. It usually seems to be a settings screen, but sometimes it's so fast I can't even see what it is.
It is probably a bug, but not one that really bothers me too much so I looked into it too much.
It's a bug but it's not specific to Moto.It's the misterious way android handles back button
