Hi there,
So I rooted my phone about a month ago and installed an older version of cyanogen mod because I wanted 1.6 for the navigation. So I installed cm4.2.15.1. It worked fine for quite a while, then I had a few issues so I wiped and reset up the phone.
Now I am having a few issues...
-the phone's home button won't work (although I can boot into recovery mode with it so its still functional)
-calls are being sent straight to voicemail after ringing once and I do get a VM notification right after ( I checked my settings and I dont have call forwarding on)
-when I hit the red power button it should sleep. however it sleeps and wakes at the push of any button as opposed to the normal requirement of pushing menu to unlock
-when i hold down power red button there is not an option for airplane mode or I believe there was another option there too. It only shows reboot or power down
I think those are the main issues right now. I have a 16gb SD (class 2, I know its slow but i havent had any issues) with apps2sd running automatically b/c i have it partitioned. I did a backup and restore using nandroid but that didnt help.
Basically I hear I should reflash it but I am not sure I want to do that. Will I lose all my apps and stuff? I was thinking maybe they would be saved b/c of apps2sd but I dont know for sure. Also to reflash do I just do wipe at the recovery screen and then like reinstall CM again after putting the zip file on the SD card?
Also what is the latest version of CM with navigation? Where can I find that file? Is there another mod that you guys would recommend? NOthing too flashy but I do like lots of customization, navigation. BUt my highest priority is navi and just being quick and reliable.
Sorry for being a n00b. I tried searching but did not find a concrete answer..
Thanks!
bueller?
HELP
Had the phone for few days and a problem when i clicked for example the "MESSANGING" on my home screen it lead to aim screen to i click back it went to another app then i lcicked home i went home and clicked messanging again and it went to another screen of a app why isnt it go to messagning? it works now but it did that twice!!!! it froze everytime i tryed to quickly share a photo via facebook it froze one time there.well a new problem happened..... i locked it the nwhen i lciked the power to unlock no puzzle unlock wasnt there it was just my backround.. then i keep lockign and unlockign no puzzle i shut the phone off and restated?
Your best bet is to wipe your phone and flash a fresh rom onto it. What rom are you using?
its regular updated 2.2 nexus build number FRF91 idk anything else? its not rooted
Oh ok so purely stock.
1. Backup all your contacts:
*Open Contacts app
*Press menu softkey, select Import/Export
*Export your contacts to sd card
2. Go to settings -> privacy -> factory data reset [THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE]
Your phone should restart, and you should be good to go.
thanks bro... why u think its glitching liek that because maybe all the apps i got like 20 from market and task killer? or what can it be? by the way i factory restored it once not because of this problem but jsut to clear all apps quickly... so i just did it lets see how it goes from now....
No problem, I'm here to help.
I remember reading recently that task killers from the market actually may do more harm than good. I don't exactly remember why, but that may be your problem...
P.S. I always thought task killers required root...I guess you learn something new every day
hahaha true true.. so these problem u heard about before or first time?
I've never heard of your specific issue but anything is possible
gotcha so right now i download most apps such as aim,calorie counter, magic marker, pandora, yahoo mail, drink recipe, shazam, shopsavvy, WHERE thats about it.. no task killers no battery displayers no nothing.... hopefully this problem wont occur....
Good. Just send me a PM if you run into the issue again
gotcha.. thanks anyone got any ideas why it would occur..... apps? virus?
Were you using a program to customize the icon? Like Folder Organizer?
nope.. but i did have astro zipper program i had lock up 2.0 i had werid thigns just got a habit of downloading i enedup delting lots but problem occured i just did a factory reset so far no problem.....

From what you're explaining, its seems you're experiencing the touchscreen issue. Most if not all of the N1's have this problem. It's a known defect that HTC chooses not to admit too. As of now there's only a temp fix which is to press the power button on & off. Its a problem that randomly occurs. There's nothing that'll specifically trigger the problem, it just happens when it happens. Flashing to a custom rom will not solve your problem becuz its hardware related. If you haven't voided your warranty in any way, your best bet is too warranty exchange/repair your device until its fixed.
ya im going to call warrernty now and see what the deal is!
Hi all,
I've run into this issue a couple times, and it's always required a nandroid restore, but I was hoping you might have some suggestions that aren't as drastic. Yesterday, LauncherPro crashed (uninstalled itself?) and so everything reverted back to the ADW Launcher. In reinstalled LauncherPro and force stopped ADW Launcher, so at least I have my home screen back. After LauncherPro quit on me though, I noticed that my screen wouldn't lock anymore. I've checked the settings, the timeout's still the same as before, it just won't lock anymore. My home key stopped responding too. It's still recognized as a button (i.e. it wakes my phone up), but it won't do anything (i.e. getting from the app drawer to the homescreen). After reinstalling LauncherPro, all my apps that I had moved to my SD card disappeared, and I had to unmount and remount my SD card for them to show up again. This is all after battery pulling, hair pulling, and restarting countless numbers of times.
I'm running Jaybob's Cyanogen 6.2 10-12 BlackMod. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks

I would uninstall launcher pro and then clear the data from applications in ADW. Then install launcher pro again. Don't force stop ADW, just hit your home button and then select launcher pro as default. If that doesnt work, try reflashing your rom over what you have and see if that works. Beyond that, you may have to reflash your rom, something got corrupted somewhere.
I'll try reflashing a new ROM on top of it, hopefully that works. Thanks. I uninstalled and reinstalled LauncherPro, so everything's looking normal at least. Do you think the screen lock issue and the home button issue are because something got corrupted in the ROM too?

I think that is most likely. It is possible something in the framework got messed up when you had your issues. You don't have to flash a different rom either, if you reflash the one your using over what you have without a wipe the only thing it will do is undo any changes made as well as themes etc, everything else will still be there, so you won't have to set a lot back up. Give it a shot
Flashed the 10-12 Blackmod, still didn't work. Just flashed the most recent version too, (12-31) Blackmod, and they still don't work. Screen still doesn't lock, and I just realized that, not only the home button not work, but neither does the search button. If I don't want to nandroid this, do I just have to learn to live with this?
Update: nandroid restored it. Restored apps and data with Titanium Backup. Plugged it in to delete the nandroid backup to free up some space on the SD card, and the issue came back. Seriously contemplating a factory reset. Ugh.

I remember hearing stuff about this when people were flashing the tiny gapps. Did you flash the gapps from 12/18 in the OP of jaybob's thread? If not give that a try. Screen lock may be spotty if you have disabled window animations, so if you did that go enable them, then for speed you can go into spare parts and set them to fast.
I may actually have flashed the tiny gapps...the strange thing is that my phone was fine for almost 2 months before this issue came up. Are the window animations Cyanogen settings or LauncherPro settings? I'm pretty sure I didn't disable them...I ended up factory resetting it and flashing the updated ROM and 12/18 gapps, and everything looks like it's running pretty smoothly now.

Well if your running good forget all that except for the fast settings. Its in you spare parts app, theres 2 animations you cam change from normal to fast, its nice.
sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass
Just got those. Yup, those animations are real nice. Loving my Hero again.
So, I've got this weird problem I need help with. Everytime when I unlock my phone, all the apps get minimised, it just acts as if home button were clicked. It also happens when I get notifications about found wifi. I'm on rooted stock rom. Is there any solution without reinstalling all this?
Searched the forum but didn't see anyone having the same problem I do.
Just got the Note a few days ago but I have an annoying problem. Whenever I exit and app or unlock the phone to the home screen, the keyboard will just pop up by itself. It'll go away when I hit the back button.
I've tried removing all widgets and apps from the home screen and it still shows up.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? Thanks.
i dont know on that one.
I had a similar problem with android in general.
Normally i would have the keyboard out and type something then hit back or home and the keyboard would still be there until i hit back again.
Happens a few times here and there on a few different phones.
But it seems like your saying its happening all the time?
Try to clear out the cache and see if that helps it.
Also check the ram on the phone and see if there is any apps staying in the memory that could be the cause. (3rd parts apps)

I just rebooted for the first time since getting the phone. The problem has seemed to go away.... for now. Should have done that before creating a new thread lol.
