Home, Talk buttons non-functional.

In addition to the home and talk buttons not working. The phone will not lock when I hit end, it just puts into a sleep mode.
Holding end only gives a reboot and shut down option. This problem surfaced after installing the new SuperD mod. I did a wipe and reinstalled it two nights ago and the problem was resolved, but it has resurfaced tonight.
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Should I go back to the old version?

Which new version? The beta or 1.10.2? If it's beta - then you def should go back to stable. If it's 1.10.2 - then you most likely have a hardware problem. A lot of people run Super-D with no problems.
Further more, sometimes your trout-keypad-v3.kl (located in /system/usr/keylayout/) can get corrupted and cause that. It's extremely rare but you may try either re-flashing or just pushing that specific file.
Word of advice (which you may already know): if anything goes wrong and you want to rule out software problem - install a base rom (like the defanged from Cyan's wiki), complete wipe and min options (no Apps2sd, no swap, etc) and see if it fixes the problem. If the problem is gone - you're in lock and something went wrong with the rom. If problem is still there- start looking for a new phone.
Good luck.

I did a fresh install. I repartitioned the sd card, reinstalled all apps. did a factory wipe, reinstalled the base defanged, then did super D. It wasn't the beta, i had upgraded to 1.10.2 and experienced the problems.
It would work fine for two days, then if my phone would shut off (battery has weird contacts) then it would boot back up and my settings would be all messed up, and the keys would work. I would try re installing the ROM, but no fix.
A wipe remedies the problem. I went back to cyanogen last night to see if the problem appears on this rom, so far it hasn't.
I never had this problem until i upgraded from 1.9.3

[Q] [ROM] Darky's Rom 9.2 Extream Wifi Signal(Error)

Hello Guys,
Does anyone know about the Signal Strength Problem?
The Extreme Edition for Darky's Rom, Have some Wifi Error Problem and Lower Signal problem. While I am using 9.0.2 Version Signal for me is quite Strong. Yet, the change of the 9.1 and 9.2 version, i faced some Error Problem for Wifi and force to reboot all the time to get connect to Wifi. The Wifi Connection in setting will state Error but i try to reconnect to Wifi, it seem to keep connect and disconnecting.
I already have the Darky's Configurator and tick the alternative wifi driver but nothing changes. Darky's can you please help on this?? Is this because of the phone compatibility version do not cope with the Darky's Rom Version? Urgently need help..
Thank you
*Yet, i would like to thank darky for the continuing trying to improve the ROM.
Thank again.
Regards,
Jonathan

Did u re flash after ticking the box in the Configurator aApp. The app only will only setup what gets flashed.

When I'm using 9.1 previously with the Configurator App. Then I re-flash everything again when go into 9.2.

i had the same issue and did a research around XDA forums and Darky's ROM forums. I found a fix for this bug.
I have attached both fixes but i've used the v8.0 fix and it seems to be working great.
- put the ZIP file on your root directory of your internal SD
- reboot into recovery
- apply any zip from SD
- choose zip from SD
- apply and reboot
* steps above may not be the exact wording but u get the picture

Thank Very Much! Is working fine now for me.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

ive tried both them zips n i still cant connect to our wifi, any ideas?

I had the same problem but its easy to solve:
Go to wireless settings on your phone
Find APN Settings, if theres nothing do a new apn with your internets name. ( I mean like, who you pay for, its hard to tell in english...) Like here in finland is dna, saunalahti etc.
Leave the default settings and done!

Something very wrong with phone. (Apps die even after clean new roms)

Hello I am quite worried about my phone.
After a little while with a new rom installed widgets will FC and stop working and some apps will disappear (and if on home screen you see default image and clicking it it says"Application not found") This usually (if not always) happens after the phone for some reason thinks it is the first time it has been switched on and goes through the initial setup (asking about language, setup accounts, wifi etc)
I first noticed this happen when I had darkys 9.3(i think maybe 9.somehting anyway) and when I replaced the sim all the above occoured. Reinstalling the apps didnt fix them and most apps FC.
Since then I have tried many roms and most seems to get this affect after some time. I was using some 2.3 roms and they were great but didnt have bln + very bad battery so they had to go. I'm currently on a romkitchen rom and it was fine for a while then after a restart it did the initial setup thing again and most things are broken again.
Anyone know anything about this?
Any suggestions on what I can try?
Thanks

Try killing the rom that caused the problems the usual supect once again .
Flash to stock Eclair via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .
If thats ok upgrade to Froyo .
jje

Ehh, that sounds a lot like the Internal SD issue. Try a stock 2.2.1 rom with a recent modem and see how that goes.

Can you suggest any roms/modems? I'm from UK if that makes a difference.
Btw the most recent rom was all the newest stuff from the rom kitchen. I feel like there is something that is not being wiped from my phone on a reflash even though I have installed different roms/modems/kernels. I have even deleted everything from my internal sd (the bit you can see when plugging phone into pc) The only thing I haven't wiped is my external sd, could something on that be the culprit?
Oh also as I installed this latest rom no gallery app was installed? I thought I might have just chosen the wrong option in the rom kitchen but does that mean anything?
EDIT - Could it be this RFS corruption issue?

Should I follow these steps or is there a newer method?

[Q] Download Mode not working - Need to flash

Hi guys,
I have an SGS that I bought last year in September. From what I understand, some batches from August-September can't enter download mode. I've tried pressing the 3 button combo(pwr-vup-vdown), and the 4 button combo(pwr-vup-vdown-home), and can't get into anything(recovery mode/download mode).
I've had z4mod until recently when I decided to try OCLF mostly because I had the kswapd0 cpu killer problem, and heard that OCLF fixes that. It didn't, but afterall I think I fixed the problem(install AutoKiller memory Optimizer and set the preset to Extreme. The phone doesn't uses the swap service anymore).
OCLF is A LOT faster on my phone than Z4mod. The problem is that it has serious bugs. I tried entering the dialer and dialing a phone number, and it exited out of the sudden. Same thing for contacts, messages. Sometimes it works fine... sometimes.
I can't have a phone that plays around when I have to make a phone call.
So I decided to give Voodoo a try. The problem is that if something goes wrong, I'm screwed because of the Download Mode problem. If something happens, can I still fix it without going to a service?
How failproof is the Voodoo Lagfix install procedure?
Should I do it? I didn't have any problems installing Z4mod about 5-6 times, and neither OCLF.
L.E. Phone details:
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: XXJPP
Build number: FROYO.XFJP7

All you need to do is follow the instructions from here to force your SGS boot into DL Mode:

I once encountered the same problem but fixed by this way.

Thanks ansonscleung! I just ordered this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fix-Downloa...ltDomain_0&hash=item20b7ae36dd#ht_2967wt_1158
It's more elegant than some resistors sticking out. I'll just go with Z4mod for a week until it arrives.
A whole world of custom ROM's just opened. )

I decided to try KIES one more time today, and it finally recognized the device! So now I'm running 2.3.4 XXJVQ! The coolest thing is that the download mode NOW WORKS! I installed the root kernel, and will try the Voodoo one tomorrow.
One last noob question: When are the installed apps deleted? When installing ROM's?
Will Titanium Backup help me reinstall them as they were if this happens?
Damn, I have to work these days, but I need to make time to play with the phone too!

[Q] reset settings after reboot

Hi, i'm kinda new here.. been reading a lot and decided to join..
I've got a Motorola Milestone, just rooted it and upgraded it with the Ho!No! cm7 Mod.
The rom it just great! I have just 1 question due...

etc. I have the "AnySoftKeyboard" installed, and i deselected the default android keyboard and select that one, but after reboot it's again on the defaulted one, same with SMS apps and dialers...
I've tried going to apps - manage and set defaults -> but it's greyed out on all apps.
if there any way to same my current settings?
and another thing.. i'm using the buildin LauncherPro, and from time to time it just crashes saying "Process com.fede.launcher" eccured an error and FC, and only reboot fix that, and then my settings reset -.-
and then everything all over again...
I've tried searching that on google but no luck..
please if anyone could help.
Thanks.

Did you update to official 2.2 before applying HO!NO! and did you perform a factory reset + wipe of all caches afterwards?

I had the froyomod before.. i belive it was 2.9.3, and did all 3 wipes before HoNo :-/

please could anyone help?
