[Q] Screen Glitches

On Monday, i finally got my nook. However, after flashing CM 7.0.2, I have had terrible screen glitches i.e when i have my hands completely off the screen buttons will continue to get pushed. I have tried to reflash, but I am a newbie so my method of flashing might be wrong.
Thanks for the help!

if it persists after an initial reboot, you probably need to recalibrate the touch screen.
BTW, if you're having the screen bug out on you while plugged in, that's normal.
Anyway, sorry i don't have the link handy, but you can do a search for a touchscreen recalibration app. If you really can't find it after searching, PM me and i'll send you a link to a dropbox with the apk

It's a hardware issue. I had the same issue on my Nook color for a while. At first I thought it was software related due to CM7, but the issue persists even on stock and other roms. I actually exchanges my nook at best buy last night for a new one, and no longer have the issue at all.

Yeah I went back to stock and screen issues persist. Going to exchange it right now, hopefully get a working one this time. haha

I think it is a hardware issue... kinda.
Are you noticing any SD card problems too? I noticed some when my screen was glitching like this. It would show the sd card icon at the bottom (when I didn't have one inserted) saying "SD card corrupt need to reformat."
I bought mine on Sunday and it had the 1.1.0 OS on it. I was already noticing that it was difficult to "unlock" the slide bar because it wouldn't always follow my finger correctly... I think it's a bug in the 1.1.0 software that was factory installed. 1.2 seems to fix that.
For me I fixed it by replacing the 1.0.1 OS, then factory resetting it doing power+N twice (then N two more times), then upgraded to 1.2 using B&N's software.
Then, I formatted /system and /data and flashed phiremod 6.1
It's great now. Now problems at all. You'll still see the "Read forever" message at the beginning but that's ok.
Been using it for two hours without glitches... which is about 1.75 hours more than ever before! I will report back if the issues return.

Well got my new nook after exchanging it, works like a beaut.
hope i just didnt jinx myself.... hahaha
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

When I put a screen protector on mine it fixed that issue.

My Zio is making a quiet ringing sound

Ok So my phone has done this a couple of times. Basically what is happening is randomly my phone is making a standard ringing sound of 3 or 4 beeps (or so) a pause then the beeps again. This is completely different from the standard sounds i have set on my phone and when this ringing is happening i am not receiving a call nor am i receiving a text message. so far it just happens randomly and even when i put my phone into sleep mode it still rings requiring me to take the battery out to make it stop.
Has this happened to anyone before? what dose it mean exactly?

Happened to me until a factory reset. Came back though after reinstalling my apps. You can stop it by making a call. It is a little easier than removing the battery. Still annoying though. I think it could have started after an app was moved to the SD card, so I batch moved everything to the internal storage except for some games. Has not happened for a couple days, but I would not be surprised if it came back. I wish I knew what caused this.

Sprint ZIO or Cricket ZIO?

Happened with me, too, on the Cricket Zio. Still searching for a solution. Doesn't seem to be a Zio specific problem, though. I read somewhere that it was happening on the Motorola Droid as well.

Quite ringing sound
This happens on the Cricket zio as well. It normally happens when you are in a low signal area for any extended period of time. Normally rebooting or making a phone call will stop it. As to why it is happening I have no idea however I do recall this was a problem on one of the old kyocera slider phone I had in the past.

Is there any point in digging into this? It's beginning to happen to me a lot (as my coverage at home sucks despite living in downtown Charlotte).
Every problem has a solution but I'm wondering if the new OC'ed kernel will eliminate it.

One can only hope.

Can we stay on task here and stop with the petty squabbling. Nobody cares how anybody reads the forums but being a smart-a$$ about it will ultimately result in this sort of argument.
Fact is, that we're trying to address an issue here. And to that point, my phone is still making the ringing noise, even with the new OpenZIO ROM. How can that be?
My guess is that the ringing noise is tied up somewhere not on the typical hard-drive of the phone. Kinda like a beeping mechanism on a computer motherboard. And since somebody reported that it happened on an older Kyocera phone, that only furthers my theory in this.
Evidently, it seems to be triggered in poor reception.

This much I know is 100% correct. The first time it happened to me and my wife we were traveling to the beach and this happened while we were in "Dead Zones" and now it happens to me on a daily basis on my commute to and from work. I drive through a lot of "Dead Zones".

A lot of dead zones in the Charlotte area? Where are you commuting to and from?

I have also had this issue a couple of times while running rooted 2.2.
I too was in a poor signal zone. An interesting fact is that when I would adjust the volume while it was making the funny sound, it would say that it was adjusting call volume not ringer volume. It was a while ago since it happened last, but I'm also pretty sure the sound comes from the ear speaker and not the louder back speaker, which is why the sound is so soft.

I'm having the same issue!
I'm having a hard time isolating what application could be causing this. It probably doesn't help that I'm EXTREMELY new to this forum.

also having this issue
this happens to me also in a low signal area.. it happens at 5am and again at 9pm. i'm home way before 9pm so i don't know what the signifigance of that may be?

You have all been hax0rd!!! Mwuaaahahahaa!!!
Just kidding.
I have never had this issue before. You could try installing my ROM to see if that fixes the issue?f
**edit: just read upwards -- appears that someone has already tried installing the ROM.
This leads me to believe that it could be a hardware issue.
Perhaps you can take it in for an exchange?

ROM won't fix it. I was having the issue on stock 2.12 as well. It did not start till the update so has to be a bug in the OS.

Take your phone back to cricket for an exchange (provided you can reproduce the sound to a rep).
Be sure to flash a stock rom to ur phone or they wont touch you.

Has anyone figured out the reboot problems?

I thought that by rooting and putting a new ROM on my phone that it'd help out my problems of it rebooting randomly and having a non responsive internet 50% of the time but it hasn't. Anyone else having these problems with their Thrills? About to go back to the iPhone even though i really don't want to

I have occasional reboots, but not often. I know mine is more tinkering with my kernel.

i only had mine reboot once only cuz i killed gta3 the rong way and it crashed

yeah mine does it any time that it has to think about something... i go to post something on facebook and about half the time it freezes and then reboots. I think i've pulled the battery out a couple dozen times this last week because of it just stopping on me

It's the developer of the app that causes the problem.

ok now i'm finally getting it to where it's saying different apps (mostly clockworkmod) are failing and to either force close or cancel...

Well I jumped out of gta3 with the home button and tryed to go in app manager to close it and probly ran out of ram and crashed instead of backing out of gta3 with the game menu

True multitasking has been built into Android (similar to Linux, which it is based) from day one. Here to say it, but that would be a longshot. Best bet would be to become more scrupulous on what apps you download and more critical of the makers when their programs go rogue. Plus turning background data off in settings can help. Fyi.
Note: I don't want you to feel as if I'm being overly critical or a douche here, just realistic with what we have and what we are dealing with.

I hear ya, I know its wishful thinking. I just wish android was as efficient as iOS. Android having Backgrounding from the start was a big perk, but I gotta hand to apple for seeing how inefficient it was and hold off until they found a better solution. Android needs to grab the bull by the horns and convert to that solution.

Background data allows you to receive emails and your apps to update periodically while your not using your phone. This is the basis of 99% of your notifications. It's kinda the point of having a smart phone in the first place.

oh ok... yeah i really like getting all my updates so i don't wanna do that

HTC One Home / Back capacitive buttons problem

Personally, I find it to be *incredibly* annoying and pretty much ruins the experience of using this otherwise good phone. I have already been to the Sprint store to possibly exchange it, but their demo unit had the exact same problem (and the employee I was talking to had also noticed the problem). I have also ran "getevent -lt /dev/input/event6" from adb shell (/dev/input/event6 seems to be the raw output of the touchscreen, some people said it is event5 on theirs rather than event6). This shows you raw data every time you touch the screen. However I noticed that when my touches of the home button go undetected, nothing is read from /dev/input/event6...so I am afraid it may be a hardware problem. I have 11 more days before my 14 day Sprint satisfaction period ends, so I'm on the fence on whether or not I should return it and wait for a better phone, or exchange it and probably get another with the same problem, or...wait for HTC to try to fix it with software.
Some have said a recent update to the Taiwan version of the One solved the problem...:

Thank you for retrieving the information for me, [xxxxxx]. I did some research and there will be an MR update to fix this issue with the virtual keys. We do not have any information as to the date the update will be released since it will be released via Sprint your network provider, and it is currently being worked on.
I realize that not having the specific details such as the date is annoying, but we do appreciate your patience.

Most likely what you are actually noticing is that not all presses are registered and you are rationalizing it by assuming that you just missed the target. In reality, there is a problem with the home/back buttons that HTC needs to fix, soon.

I prefer to tap with my fingertip and this is rarely detected by the home/back buttons, which is SOOOO annoying. I'm debating trying to swap it out for a new one. From what I can tell the problem seems to affect EVRYONE, although many people might not notice or be annoyed by it. So the question is, is it truly a pure software fault, or is it a hardware fault that software (ie, an OTA) can mask or at least partially correct.

That's my preference as well - it has been an adjustment and one that I'm not terribly pleased with. I'm surprised the issue didn't show up in pre-release testing but I have to imagine it's something that software can fix with a remap of the area the system recognizes as buttons.

It's really not an issue with the "area", as I can touch the dead center of the home button and it still won't work. Seems to me that it is either not sensitive enough, or some other problem.
Regardless, word is that an OTA fixed this problem on the Taiwan HTC One 2 days ago, so now I guess we just need to complain loud enough that HTC/Sprint pump out the fix to us ASAP before we all return our phones.

Mines like this as well, you can hit the back button dead on and no response. Hopefully they issue a fix somewhat quickly.

Having this problem as well. My device was built April 9th 2013. I can sit there and tap on the home button for 30 seconds or more in every way possible and have no registration of the contact.
This might just be wishful thinking but for some reason clicking the app drawer icon seems to fix the issue right away making me think this is software.
Other than this the build quality and everything else seems perfect.

HTC needs to admit they have a problem here and advise us whether we should be returning these or waiting for an OTA patch which will be coming VERY soon.

I saw some people talking about this and didn't know what they were referring to.. I got my phone on launch day and have no issues with it, that looks super annoying

Someone posted this over in the international forum. I haven't tried it, as I haven't noticed a problem with my button sensitivity, but there are others who say it works. Worth a shot if you're experiencing problems.

Is there a notification LED on the Turbo?

nope, it just notifies you via the screen blinking showing you got notifications (forgot the name of this feature)
the same as moto X

I will be getting my turbo this afternoon. I'm also coming from a rooted s4 where I used titanium backup for my backup. I am sure going to miss being rooted ?.
Did you do anything to restore things, especially things from titanium backup, since I can't use tibu with the turbo? A little apprehensive here.
I will be getting the red 32 gb turbo (black one was unavailable on Verizon's website).
I'm hoping the change over goes smoothly.

Kinda sucks there's no LED but what are you gonna do. Its a trade off. When I got my this phone I just downloaded all the apps I had again can't do much with tibu without root access.

I'm a big fan of led notification but I'm not missing it that much with this screen notification feature...
the screen turns on every few seconds and you can see by the icon what kind of notification it is, pretty simple

The LED would be pretty redundant with Moto Display.

I came from the S4 too and I don't miss the LED notification one bit. I love the Moto Display.

I'm trying out the moto display now. Its actually pretty sweet!

I will be getting my turbo this afternoon. I'm also coming from a rooted s4 where I used titanium backup for my backup. I am sure going to miss being rooted ?.
Did you do anything to restore things, especially things from titanium backup, since I can't use tibu with the turbo? A little apprehensive here.
I will be getting the red 32 gb turbo (black one was unavailable on Verizon's website).
I'm hoping the change over goes smoothly.

Helium works. Just install it in your S4 and backup...
Then run it in the Turbo and you can restore your apps.
Just a reminder, most people had to manually set the device as Mot Composite USB in the device manager menu.
Let me know if it worked for you!

Alex, thx, for your response. I actually got my turbo yesterday afternoon. After signing into it, I just let Google do its thing. It downloaded most of my apps (took 2 or 3 hours), but, wasn't too bad.
I am enjoying playing with the phone and trying to learn how to use it. One thing I really miss about root is not having a good ad blocker (I used MOAB). Do you happen to know of any good non root ad blockers? Haven't googled, yet.

I tried using AdBlock Plus but it didn't work, however a Turbo user said it was working for him in another thread.
Helium can restore the appdata that Google might not be able.
A lot of games still don't cloud backup your saves, for example...

Nothing like this on the Turbo, right?

I dl'd Adblock+. It does not seem to have done too much for the little I have checked so far. I will continue to look. Thx, alex.

That is what i was hoping for. Even the moto x has it....maybe if we get root we can see if theres any hidden LEDs. Hopefully *crosses fingers*

I believe there is some sort of LED
So I let my DT die night before last and plugged it into the charger.
Low and behold, to the left of the front camera was a green LED in a vertical orientation. When the phone received enough of a charge, this light disappeared and the normal battery charging screen came up.
So maybe there is some LED action here ? I read somewhere else that the MOTO X also has/had a hidden LED.

Interesting...I let my Turbo die before and no LED ever shone on mine. I might have to try it again and see if it comes on. From everything I've read, the X has an LED as well, but people have only gotten it to shine through the bootloader and stuff.
