I am selling my girlfriend's Droid. I want to be able to let potential buyers view the phone (Android Os, programs etc); however, I reset the phone to factory state. Now when I turn on the phone, it wants to activate the phone but she turned her service off and switched it to her Droid X. Is there anyway to bypass the activation process ( on my Evo I can just keep hitting skip and you can view everything on the phone) to let them see and use the phone?
On the touch to begin screen, Tap all 4 corners of the screen, starting from top left , going clockwise

Didn't work
Just reset my droid and it worked, the bottom touch right above the skip buttons. I didn't get it to work first try.

My Search-Fu has failed me on this, so I am hoping to get some guidance from here.
I have a friend who just got a Droid. Coming from a Blackberry one thing he is missing is the ability to set the phone to wakeup when he takes it out of the holster.
I know the magnets can do this to a point but they put it into car mode or media mode. He just wants it to wake up to the lock screen.
Seems simple to me with the various seniors on the Droid but for the life of me I cannot find an app to do this. The few threads i find about this ether have arguing about how this is a bad idea or point to ways to keep the screen alive and/or bypass the lock screen. Neither of these are what my friend is looking for.
So, does such an app or setting exist to just wake up the device when removed from a holster? It can be a special holster if it is needed.
Have him download dock nothingness from the market so that when the magnets put him into dock mode, it instead opens up his home screen.

Hmmm, that is not a bad idea. It woul,d require a custom case with a magnet that only triggered when the phone is removed.
So should I assume there is no pre made solution that makes use of the sencers that turn off the display when it is held to your ear??

I haven't heard of anything yet, but maybe there is. If he downgraded to 1.5 then there is no lock screen, you just press the power/lock button and the screen turns on with no slider.

Thanks for the suggestion but it is not what he is looking for. He is looking for the opposite, keeping the lock screen but having the phone wake up when removed from the holster.
Oh well...next step is to see how hard it is to code an android app
I've had issues with the screen since I got the device. Typing on the keyboard, or tapping any buttons, or drawing, the line is very inaccurate where it shows up. In order for it to work I need to press enough to flatten the tip of my finger so the surface area is about a 1cm diameter circle, and the point it makes is random as to what side of the circle it seems to appear on.
I wasn't certain if it was my phone, or me, or what until recently. I bought this generic pogo capacitative stylus (DX sku.23061). I tried it on my phone and it didn't work. I had to push down extremely hard to get any response, so much I was worried about scratching the screen. I was just writing the problem off to the stylus, but I just tried that same stylus on my friends HTC Touch Slide. It worked beautifully. No pressure required, just the corner of the stylus and it gets perfect accuracy.
Is this type of thing going to get better going from 1.6 to 2.1? Is it just a **** phone? Did I get a lemon? It's hard to simply tap a single icon on the home screen without the one next to it being tapped instead.
Yeah, I tried a stylus too and it was useless for me on the Zio, bit I do not know if that will change with the update

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I wouldn't imagine it would change much from an update. Capacitive is mechanical, and is only as good as the screen itself.
My phone has zero issues with the touchscreen display. calibration is bang on (within 1mm).
I'd suggest to RMA it or swap it out if you have a protection plan-- sounds like there may have been some defective products released.
I'm having the same issue with the touchscreen on this phone. I have been posting in several posts about a few issues I've been having but it seems either i'm posting in the wrong areas or i'm invisible in the post altogether.
I'm new to posts and its all confusing to me, I am slowly learning how to get through them, and i've been reading the hell out of just about every one on here for this stinking junk phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer and smash the thing and just buy a real phone that works.
Sounds like a defective touch screen. Hope you have a warranty or protection plan :-\

BTW
If the general public isn't aware, if you have your device plugged in for charging (USB or AC) your touchscreen will not respond accurately.
I'm not sure why this is, but it's something to be aware of.

I'm still noticing some touch screen issues that were present in the old firmware. For example, I will hit the power button to wake up the phone, and the slide to unlock wont respond until after several attempts. If it does respond right away, it will unlock and then the touch screen becomes completely unresponsive. Happens several times a day to me and this is the second Zio I have had since the phone's launch last year that has done this. Also if I have a screen lock pattern, that will not respond either, but as soon as you touch "Emergency Call" it responds to just that. It will always clear up after a couple tries, but it is very annoying and resetting the phone doesn't help either.
How much memory is free on your phone?

the only thing i have noticed with the lock screen if you halfway unlock it and let go that the unlock slide completely disappears and its only happened once. putting it back to sleep and waking it back up brings it back.
My phone usually runs with 30 to 60 MB of free memory. It's done it before right after a reset I don't believe it has anything to do with memory.
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
I also am running with 60MB free space, I have the XDA app and the 2.3 launcher running.
I wonder if there is any way to increase the available memory, it would definitely do the phone some good. Perhaps a custom rom about 50MB in size would help.

Touch screen problem
Hi,
Were you able to solve your problem?
Im having the exact same problem with a friends phone.
are you using a custom ROM by chance? More specifically, Cyanogen Mod 7 has a "tablet tweak" settings menu that allows you to use "dead zones" on the screen. If that's not the case I would check with your provider or place you purchased it from and see if they can help point you in the right direction.

The phone was on stock rom, chaned it to see if problem would go. Still same.
I live in Bolivia, so it will be a bit hard to get support.

Hello,
I am not sure I am in the right spot or forum but I am running cm-10.2-20131111-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip on a Nook HD+ and it is running beautiful but, at times the entire device locks up. This happens on the lock screen and when swiped you just see a flash of the home page then right back to lock screen. Will not allow entry. Happens when the device sits even for only a few minutes. Need to reboot to get back in. Then works fine, let it go to lock screen (will not allow entry). Anyone else having the problem? Right now I have the lock screen turned off and appears to be running fine. Happened with original install and now two of the nightlies.

Usually that is caused by your case with a magnet in it. If you have that, open the case twice before attempting to swipe.

So whenever I use Google now voice activated from screen off, one I'm done with saying the command it leaves the screen on, won't let it shut off, and since I use a navigation bar replacement app it won't let me go back or home... The only work around I've found is to click something in Google now or give it a doesn't command that takes me out of Google now and prompts me to unlock the lock screen.
Is there a better work around? Or a way to fix it? WITHOUT disabling voice activation from screen off
