Hi all,
On my N1, sometimes the soft keys (back, menu, home, search) does not work correctly. I keep having to press couple times or above the picture to register. Is there any fix for this? I'm currently on stable Cyanogen Mod 6.1.1.
Thanks!
For best results, aim just above them
Thanks Rusty, but is there any fix/resolution for this. Or this is how all N1 are?
It's how they are really.

It's the same for all Nexus ones. Personally I never really run into this problem but I think that's simply because I grew accustomed to pressing slightly above
Tapping just above the SK is how the N1 was designed to be used.
Thanks for all your reply guys!
I've never rooted my phone but am about to receive my third nexus one because of power button failure and I don't want to do it again. I watched some Nexus One development video where they were using a machine to depress the trackball thousands of times, to simulate lifetime use and test for failure. I guess they didn't test the power button.
Any suggestions on a ROM similar to stock but that has wake on trackball press? I was looking at cyanogenmod.
It seems like there should be an app for this, but I noticed an enhancement request on Google code, I guess that ability was removed in 2.3.3.
I am currently using anyunlock to wake my phone with the volume button but am not really a fan. I don't want to adjust the volume and it replaces the lock screen.
Thanks a lot.
CM7. Like Stock but...better!

CyanogenMod is one of the best alternative ROMs out there. All the features of stock with a ton more added (along with bugfixes).

agreed with cm7 (if you prefer the normal stock look) I personally don't like all that sense / miui stuff. now that the big bugs are fixed, i don't see why you shouldn't give it a try.
cyanogen 7 really is easily the best option. and with the newest battery increases and optimizations, its a no brainer to use cm7 over stock.
Running Kang-o-rama-1.2 . . . . It's just CM7, kind of.
Loaded it last night and seems to be the best so far. The least amount of lost MMS compared to regular CM7.

There were issues with MMS messages in the nightlies due to a merging conflict when they merged to the 2.3.4. This has been resolved for the last couple of weeks.
I'm not sure if that is what you were talking about.
How much free memory do you have on your phone?
Hello,
After installing CyanogenMod7 on my Incredible S, I found that the 4 android buttons below the screen no longer rotate when I turn the device sideways. It doesn't worry me because I understand that I put a custom rom on the phone and all.
Although I did find that feature pretty cool and I was wondering if there was a way to get it back, all while keeping the rom?
Thanks!

This has been previously asked and the response was that this is a HTC Sense feature and CM7 is not HTC Sense.
Alright, thanks!
Is there a fix for the problem with the soft button lights yet? They always turned off on the stock ROM and also on Zeus ROM. I am now using CM7 and the lights work, but the rest of the ROM is crap. I need a reliable phone that I can also use in the dark. Thanks!
the lights issue is a gb issue until now there is no real fix for it (unless till lg releases a patch or sth)
for the time being you could try this app i tried it and sometimes it works sometimes it dosent..... =P
but i dont think its a big problem anyway.... its just 4 buttons at the bottom... =)
it is not an issue or bug... it is a feature of gb for saving battery implemend by lg... It's been the same with o3d and I think with 2x as well(not sure about the 2x though). Now the fact that some people don't like it doesn't make it a bug,does it?
It is a bug, since the support already confessed, it is. If you buy a phone with a function, like lights always on and that feature gets lost after an update, what do you call it? Feature (like LG) or bug? I would call it a bug, but I think we could keep on discussing a whole week or even longer. I at least would like to have a choice, whether to enable it or not. That's all I can say to this. And since they already work on a bugfix, they either really implemented a bug, or a "feature" hardly anyone wants to have.

That would be a feaure, what we have is a bug.

Where can I find a stock Gingerbread ROM at? When I purchased my phone it already had ICS on it, and honestly I do not like it at all. I jumped to my favorite phone mod site (XDA) and did some searching but came up empty handed. Can anyone assist me with my request? Thanks!

Sorry. There are not any GB ROMs for the D4 that will work on ICS. The GB D4 ROMs there are are not compatible with the ICS kernel. Maybe if you can describe the issues you are having with ICS we can help you with those.

Mainly just nitpicking things, but the one thing I've had an issue with ICS is the fact that I cannot link notification and ringer volumes together.
Another issue I'm having is when typing using the hardware keyboard, I'll be typing something and the cursor will
jump and start typing at the beginning. Happened just as I was typing this reply, too.

That is odd stock ICS does not have the functionality to link notification and ringer volume. You should be able to find an app on the market that will give you this functionality. Found this on another forum with a quick google search: "Get cvolume from the market. Under settings you need to check notification volume not(Use incoming call volume for notifications). Works great" aarong03 - DroidForums
There are other volume control apps out there as well that may have similar functions. Try some out and let us know!
Not sure about the cursor jumping on you. It seems like I had this problem once too and it ended up being something I was doing that was causing it but I cannot think for the life of me what it was. Some button I was hitting or something.

Thanks for the information. I have tried many volume apps that claim to link the volumes together, but do not work. I basically just want to use my hardware volume buttons as a master volume control, so when I set it with the hardware buttons, nothing is higher. or lower than that volume. I had a Samsung captivate glide on att that was running GB and the app that I used on that phone did not work on my D4 for linking volume. I tried this cvolume app and it doesn't seem to be working either, even though the option to link them is set.

I use audio manager pro. It costs about $3 but is well worth it - Play Store
-
There is also a free version that just doesn't allow saving of profiles.

I've been using AudioGuru for profile selection, but I would much rather be able to dynamically change the volume of notifications and ringer together from the hardware buttons instead of set profiles with defined volume levels at each.
I have not found an app yet that works on this phone/ICS that works to lock both volumes together.
Perhaps I will just have to wait until JB is officially released for our phones. But I really liked GB on my previous phone, its too bad I can't get a ROM to work from ICS to GB, considering that the phone was originally released with GB.
Another thing I don't like about ICS is the stock messaging only let's you save a maximum of 1000 messages per contact. I would prefer messages never get automatically deleted, and in ICS it cannot be disabled, you can only change the max number of kept messages.
If you attempt to downgrade the phone to official GB there is a very high risk of bricking the phone.
I'd recommend you stop trying to do this and instead try to either get used to ICS or to replace the bits you don't like with some 3rd party apps.
I'm always having that cursor problem with the keyboard. Happens whenever I open up the keyboard and immediately start typing. Wait a second or two before typing, and it's usually ok. Seems the input editor is too slow to initialize itself, so it's still trying to set the cursor to column zero by the time you start typing...

did you try yourself before suggesting?
There is no risk in downgrading to GB via SBF. No risk, because you will most certainly B R I C K your phone. So learn to live with it.
I too have some issues with ICS. The cursor jump happens to me too, and I hate it. I also have issues with BT volume control. Music is no problem, but controlling Youtube volume does not work for me. And when docked (lapdock or plain HDMI cable) volume also doesn't work. On or off, nothing in between.
But still, I think ICS runs much smoother than GB.
with locked bootloader is unable to brick droid ( always is way to get back phone to life) but ppl must know what ar they doing

Yes you can (maybe) bring your phone back to life, but one thing that will definitely not happen is that Gingerbread ROM actually booting. The locked bootloader does not allow you to downgrade.
Do not even bother trying to downgrade it will waste your time and you may end up with a brick.

At least I know I am not the only one with the cursor jump issue. And yes, I notice it only happens to me when I open the keyboard and immediately start typing. I will have to start being patient and give it a few seconds before typing.
I've tried many different Volume apps, and even when locking volume settings are enabled, the volumes are not locked when I adjust it with the hardware volume rocker.
I did read that JB will be getting an official push to the D4, but they have not said when. ICS just doesn't set too well with me for some reason. Yes, it runs pretty smooth, but I don't like it's all black theme, some functionality that was left out, and the new widget being part of the app list doesn't always show new widgets immediately. I guess my biggest upset about it is that it seems rather... buggy or undeveloped. To me, GB seemed to be more developed and work the way you would come to expect an android OS to run now days, and ICS just isnt there yet. Hopefully JB will be better...

I bricked my first droid 4 without problems with locked bootloader. do you want a link I sell it for parts?

unless you borked your bootloader or had a hardware failure niko is right there is no way to hard brick your phone just by flashing roms/sbf's
as long as your bootloader is intact you are able to recover your device
All that said, there's no reason someone couldn't get a vanilla AOSP GB build working with the ICS kernel for use with safestrap. On the XDAndroid project we had a single Linux 3.5 kernel working for Froyo, GB, and ICS. It's not a slamdunk, but the amount of patching required isn't that bad.
