IS soft buttons backlight problem

It's a very odd one in landscape they light up, in portrait mode they don't. Well, when I noticed that problem I immedeately flashed framework-res.apk - didn't fix so I remembered when I went to recovery they did light up, so did I and started counting seconds while it loaded into it but they didn't light up. So is this some kindo of physical damage? Landscape uses obviously different LED's, it ruins the niceness from that phone, when bottom bar is dark At the moment i was using Nik's Trinity 2.0 rom and i'm using it so far.
Can you guys provide some help, it will increases my love to the phone substantially.
Therefore my phone will be shiny and elegant again!!

I don't think you need to worry that it's a physical damage... If that was the case landscape buttons would be dead aswell. I wish I could help you but why not just flash an official rom and start over? I think running an HTC rom should fix the buttons at least...

Yes I would agree that you need to try a stock HTC ROM before you blame it on the hardware.

Yes, but they worked in recovery earlier

When you boot in recovery, it is not using the custom kernel that your ROM is using. In order to rule out hardware, you need to check the phone using the stock HTC IncS kernel and a stock ROM.

Installed CM 7.1 nope didn't work and tried a load of kernels...
So how do i take that apart?

Don't lose root.... newest stock will up date your h-boot

I don't want to know to stock I know how these lights work. They depend on framework-res.apk and on kernel. Ok well stock may change but it's 5% reasonable. Is there some kind of diagnostic tool out? A fastboot one will be great.

UPDATE: 2 days ago I used my phone as router and it was charging, so yesterday I did disconnect my phone and saw lights worked. While in bus they started blinking
(like dying bulb) and few minutes ago i barely saw them and then everything was dark again. Sometimes they get revived for some time and process is under loop again
I'm trying to remember, it occured after attempts to get it charge, Incredible S usb dock doesn't work properly so i crumpled it a little bit and finally it turned on. First notice were the lights, and after heavy charge they got somehow revived. I want to see this panel with my own eyes, can someone put disassemble guide please?
I'm pretty sure new backlit is quite expensive but unfortunately Physical damage it is.

It should be ROM's problem?
Maybe flash another ROM or restore stock ROM.

Camera force close

Hello all,
I attached a log file which i hope, i BEG someone can help me with.
My camera wont open, i click the camera app and the screen goes black then i get a force close message, or a message saying cannot connect to camera. Sometimes the app opens and i get the cannot connect to camera message and sometimes it just force closes with a black screen.
I am on the stock 2.3.6 rom. i have dskchked the sd card, formated the sdcard and started over, tried different camera apps.
Attempted a different rom but i cant seem to get the drivers to see it when i start in fastboot USB mode. :-(
Can anyone tell me whats up?
Thank you
I really miss camera :-(

Well, since you said you already flashed a differenct ROM to see if it would help I'm going to assume it was something you know is stable like cyanogen or a stock ROM so it should work but just in case if you haven't already I would try passimg. Now you haven't done any radio flashes lately right?? Although from what you have said I think it may be hardware failure :/

Thank you for your reply, no i havent its on the 5.08 radio i believe, its changed to the defualt stock when u OTA right? i lost the works when i did an OTA to stock 2.3.6. I have just put recovery back on. i had CM7.1 before and it wasnt working, but it was working before that on stock 2.3.6. If you can picture that timeline. I thought reverting to stock would fix it. but apparently not.

Ok well when you reverted to stock did you use passimg? if not then I would give it a shot but if that doesn't fix it then I think it's a hardware failure sorry :/

I just flashed GRI40 using recovery then OTA to 2.3.6.
Is that any different to passimg??? im not sure of the difference?

Well it's because passimg by default makes a flash to every partition so it will wipe everything and put it all back in flashing a ROM on the other hand just does the system partition.

right... sounds interesting... can i passimg over the most current version... as im on the latest now... Or will it just say its up to date?

No unfortunately the most recent passimg file is frg83 so you'll need to use that but if it works then after that you should be able to flash anything you want and have no problem. For the instructions just check my sig.

worth a shot i guess... i just apply the froyo passimg and it just instal over 2.3.6, then it will naturally OTA to the latest again...? u recon it will work? shame their arent more people confirming this... its a lot of work!

passimg solved the touch pad buttons at the bottom problem i had of them not lighting up, unfortunatly the camera is still not working

Screen sometimes Doesnt come on

Hello, Sometimes when i turn off my screen on my Incredible s or even let it go out on its own, When i try to turn the screen back on with the power button the back light is lit but there is no image on the screen, I can still answer an incoming call , the touchscreen still works while this has happened, and it seems the only way to get the screen to come back on is to put the phone on charge for 10 or more minutes, even restarting the phone doesn't help. I have a rooted phone with s-off and stock firmware. How can i fix this?

can anyone help?

Try a different ROM if required. Check the development section for ROM's.
Probably that might either solve or you will get an idea if that's something to do with the ROM.

Tried flashing a custom rom, the problem is still there, going to take the phone apart and see if i can see any obvious problems there, anyone got any suggestions or anything to look for inside the phone?

May be this is a ROM issue, or you have forgotten to clear cashe / dalvik cashe?
Try to install different ROM for ex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2519414

Change your ROM on more current

[Q] Xperia SP multitouch problem?

Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem

Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?

I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?

CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.

Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.

I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

Well safe mode isn't the solution....you can't be onto safe mode for ever...
It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

When I start up the phone and start a game like Shadow Fight, it works fine for me too. But when I launch another game that's where it starts to delay...
I don't know what else to do...thanks for your help man

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...

Have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48066948&postcount=6
OOPS that's for unresponsive touch, sorry

Unresponsive screen (top and bottom)

Sometimes when I unlock the screen, and try to swipe down the notification bar, it doesn't respond to the touch command. Bottom part becomes dull too. Keyboard gets crazy: press "q" and "a" appears.
Been reading on the Motorola forum, and in the US, people return their phones to get a new replacement, at least that's what tech support is doing. But in my country (El Salvador) cust service s+cks!
Has anybody had this issue? Did anybody solve it? My phone is still with the stock ROM and hasn't been rooted yet.

No way!
It's because phone is under hardware warranty. Carrier doesn't get responsibility for the software, though. And just because of that, I can't get a new phone with them, nor can I modify phone's ROM, as it nulls any kind of warranty.
This is the post on the Motorola forum.

If you have warranty you don't have to solve anything, just send back your phone and get a replacement.
They must replace or repair the phone..

I'm not using any rom currently. But there is titan prime rom in development section you can try that.

And what If it's a hardware issue? You install custom rom and if the problem still remain than you can't send it back, because you don't have warranty anymore.
I think the first step is sending back the phone.

Definitely, you have a point there. But I suspect it's not hardware since it's just a ramdom behavior. I haven't done either step though.
