Enabling G1 Maps Navigation has started annoying call behaviour - HELP!

I have Cyanogen's 4.2.3.1 installed with the 2.0 Maps application and Navigation works correctly for me.
Since I installed Navigation I am getting a huge "Double tap to answer" button that pops up on my screen when a call comes in.
A) It seems to have shortened the amount of time my phone rings before sending to voicemail
B) The double tap is flaky
C) It looks like ****
I have searched Google and the forums to see if this was an issue people had but can only find people talking about the in-call unlock screen.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?

Is your navigation actually on while this is happening? If you have the little triangle above in your task bar then it is.
If you are fully exited from maps this shouldn't come up. At least it doesn't on my phone.

This happens all the time now. Even with GPS off and the Maps app not even loaded. Persists through reboots.

Odd. This happens while I have maps loaded, but not when its not loaded.
How did you install navigation?

push back our old build.prop

Will pushing back my old build.prop disable navigation?

No navigation only needs it for the install. I thought that might be the problem. Push your old prop files back and good luck!

this happend to me aswell, but i actually liked the double click - box look
that would also happen when my phone was just sitting here, no nav on, it would just light up, and have the double click box lit up.
i was on 4.2.3.1.
all that ended when i flashed cyan 4.2.4
i didnt wipe.. or fix permissions.
i installed navs from other thread [basically just the update.zip and clear data]
and everythingg works just fine. thanks to all!

I didn't know 4.2.4 was out yet but thought a Cyanogen Mod update would probably fix that issue. Reverting to my previous *.props has fixed all the issues.

You should've posted this in the Q&A section or an existing related thread.
Anyways.. To get rid of the double tap box, you need to push back the original build.props. If you do that however, you'll lose navigation in a few hours, like 6 or 7 hours.
There's already a thread about this that's named something like "unlocked features from new build.prop".

I will remember that next time. After being on here for almost 3 years I forget that the newbie youngsters like to change how we have done things here. Like one thread per issue. Thank you for the helpful link to the thread you thought I should have posted it in, great to see that XDA hasn't gone all to hell with newbie senior members who just throw out dictates and then can't even do a decent job of helping people.

use this if you are running cyanogen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583684

Heres the thread for updated features from build.prop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583030

I just did the install with the newest cyanogen and then tried calling myself and I dont have any issues.
Also, navigation works fine.

I have a G1 with CM 4.2.4, and I'm not having the issue either. I tested incoming calls with the NAV and in maps.

I finally got Navigation -and- paid apps in Market to show, but, I am experiencing the same problem as the OP mentioned.
I don't want to lose Navigation but this is a little annoying. Someone mentioned if I put the original build.prop and build.trout.prop back, Navigation will not show up. How can we get the best of both worlds?

i swear i feel like people just post without reading anything. i posted a link to a thread that will fix your problem. look up a few posts. another member here had an update.zip that will install the maps without breaking the market, without making the weird floating box, and without any other weird problems. if you are running cyanogen it will work perfect.
the .props need to me modified to allow navigation to remain longer than a few hours. just apply the update-navigation.zip from recovery mode and it will fix your issue.

Actually I am having this same issue WITH using that .zip but for me it is no big deal. We are lucky to have Nav, I will take it with whatever problems (temporary of course) it comes with!

i had the double tap issue after i manually installed nav on wednesday. today i ran that .zip and the box is gone. i dont get why it would work for some people and not others.
the zip was actually updated 3 or 4 times. so if you applied it when it was first dropped, maybe you have an old version

Defective touchscreen?

Does anyoe else's tab do this
When I scroll in a webpage or app, and I stop scrolling but still have my finger pressed on the screen, the screen starts to shake a little until I move my finger again, is it just my tab or is it a common thing?

the only thing i can suggest is that you are slightly moving your finger, its sensitive so might look like its shaking?

Mine does that too. I wouldn't be too worried about it since it only happens in the web browser for me.

its not defective, its cause your holding your finger on it, especially in a web browser if your zoomed in a page and scroll it might happen.
its just your finger moving a tad bit that the tab senses. Also it might be catching two touch responses from your finger, not the tabs fault. Its the way you use it really.
Dont worry. The tabs touch response is pretty sensitive, which is VERY good thing trust me. Its better to be responsive then crappy on a touch tablet.

Sorry, but yes, it is a problem
I'll respectfully disagree. I have the same issue in my galaxy tab, and I've tried several others, this behavior is found in just a few.
I've made a video and a drawing test to illustrate it. I've put them in a page in a domain that I own.
(XDA still doesn't allo me to paste a link, but the address is fgfaria.com )
I've tried an app called touchscreen booster, which appeared to be appropriate from its description, but didn't notice any difference.
But there is a very intriguing point. It doesn't look like it's a hardware problem. I have installed touch test app, and with that the touch is perfect, no shaking. Also, specifically in youtube app, when scrolling the list of videos, it doesn't happen.
I need to find out why it happens pretty much everywhere, but not on youtube app and touch test apps.
Just to make it even more complex: as you'll see in the picture in the url above, towards to the right edge of the screen the problem is much lighter or doesn't happen.
If someone can help, that would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Fabio

I'm getting this problem too. I get TERRIBLE shakiness when i hold finger input especially in google maps.
I highly doubt it's a hardware issue because this only started happening to me ever since i installed the italian gingerbread rom.
This this GB rom giving anyone else the same issue?

Same problem here
I am also having the same problem, installed an application called "Touchscreen Booster" but no avail.
Strange thing is that the problem seems to not happen on Youtube application.
I also have GB 2.3.3, in my case, the overcome room 2.0.0

One possible solution
Did you guys check the url I've sent? (fgfaria.com)?
Is your problem just like mine? In my case, I had the problem since Froyo 2.2, and still have it (the same way, no change) after an update to 2.2.1.
My GT is not rooted, and I'm waiting for gingerbread to be made available through Kies in Brazil to proceed with the update.
Another interesting thing is that most touch test apps behave normally (no shakiness).
Possible good news: I've found an app in the Market called "ILITEK Touch Utility".
Unfortunately I couldn't use it in my GT as it appears to require the device to be rooted. But it has several features from calibration to screen software reset. Hopefully this may help, specially as it seems to be a software issue.
Let me know if this works for you.
Regards,
Fabio

mine does EXACTLY the same thing as per your website.
the app does not seem to fix anything...
sigh...
at least good to know someone else is experiencing the same problem.

The problem is app specific
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Or the libraries being used in this tutorial include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...

I posted about the same problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096698
I've included pics from my tests. Notice how before I installed the custom rom, the lines were perfectly smooth. This definitely has something to do with the software. We need to have one of the rom devs look at this and find out what might be the cause.

hi grukko, thanks for your comment!
To me, the most intriguing part is that the behavior happens in some apps, and not in other. I have done a very similar test, which I've published in the address http://fgfaria.com
As you see in the thread, the problem doesn't happen in youtube app, and screen touch test apps and in the list tutorial app I've created following instructions in Android Developers website.
Can you check if your problem is the same checking if youtube doesn't "shake"?
Thanks!

Your test results look similar to mine. I just tried youtube and it does not shake.

New discovery:
It may be a hardware problem (at least in my case). A friend, in another forum noticed that the jittering only happens in screens with a light background, specially white.
This can be quickly tested, by opening a web page that has a white and a black part. Zooming in the white part (so that all background you see is white) and keeping the finger still, the screen starts shaking. If you move to the black part, zoom and keep you finger still, no shake at all.

Fabio

Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...

Touch screen issues
Count me as another member of the shaky touch screen club! Anyone found a resolution yet?

No luck yet. Official upgrade to Gingerbread is not yet available in Brazil. I'm waiting for this upgrade to check if things get better, but I'm not so optmistic, as I've seen reports from many people to whom the problem actually started after the upgrade. Does anyone know if the problem has already been officially reported to Samsung?

Nope. Not mine, the tab working flawlessly

[Q] Wallpaper Changes Layour Style Itself

My galaxy note seems to reset the wallpaper layout to spread across each pane instead of staying as the whole picture on each pane (which I set it to do). I don't know why this is and I'm getting fed up of having to change it. This is my main query.
My note also just reset itself whilst I was in the middle of a phone call.
When updating to ICS the layouts were reset so there were no apps that I wanted on the main screen, no widgets whee I had set them up and no bookmarked internet pages. This doesn't matter now as I have gone through the trouble of doing it all again, but I thought it might be useful for people to know if they are considering to buy this phone.
I've seen an aweful lot of good reviews for this phone, but I'm beginning to wonder why.

You obviously downloaded a full wipe version of pics, or possibly wiped yourself during the process. Pretty standard behavior really, not sure it needs a thread about it!

There's too many people on here that act cocky, just because they know more than somebody else. Do you get enjoyment out of it?
As it happens though, you were no help at all because you haven't answered my question.
I don't know why the layout keeps changing on its own. I've got no idea what you mean about a full wipe version of pics. I have downloaded nothing of the sort. All I have done is taken a picture and set it as my wallpapaer, but the phone decides to spread the picture across all the panes after a while and I have to keep changing it back.

Sorry, that was supposed to be ics not pics.
What I meant was the old add age of a bad worker always blames his tools, the rom seems to be behaving normally.
And you didn't ask any questions, just slagged off a great phone

Ok... Why does my wallpapaer layout change on its own? There you go... The fact is, you still don't know the answer and you haven't helped me.
'A bad worker blames his tools'
I don't really know what that has to do with anything. I just use the phone as normal and the wallpaper layout changes on its own. Nothing to do with me or how I use it.
And as I mentioned, the phone restarted whilst I was in the middle of a phone call... To me, that doesn't sound like a great phone.

Ok. Assuming you're using TW Launcher, goto "Applications" > "Settings" > "Display" > "Home Screen Wallpaper" > Select your favourite wallpaper here > choose the second layout (with one column > the right option not the left one) and you'll have a non moving non spreaded wallpaper.

Hi djpianz
I have done this and that's what I have to keep doing every time I turn my phone on.
When I turn my phone on it seems to have reset to spread accross all the panes.
Problem still not solved. It still happens every time I turn my phone off and on again.

I did have that same issue on gb. I know its not a fix, but a work around, but have you considered a 3rd party launcher?

Spydertracks. Excuse my ignorance but what is a 3rd party launcher and how do I go about using one? Problem still persists.

A launcher is what gives the phone its visual style. So touchwiz is a launcher and there are various others eg. Launcher7, adw, go launcher, spb shell 3d. They each add different functionality and provide sensation to the home screen, folder and app drawer layout.
Have a look at each of of them on play store and see what you think.

[Q] Lockscreen and wifi trouble 10.1 freshly installed

Hi
Yesterday I installed CM10.1 on my HD+ following the instructions from the big "Dummies" thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
Everything went without a hitch. Then google installed a bunch of my stuff and I am up and running. I have a few issues but I'll just focus on one big one:
When it is on the standard lock screen (which I only modified by adding weather and calendar) I swipe to open and it flicks to the corresponding app, and then within half a second jumps back to the lock screen! Once in a while I seem able to unlock it, but mostly I can't.
A bit of a show stopper obviously. I googled and didn't find anything like this.
Any suggestions? (I'm happy enough at the command line.)
Cheers
Dave

This sounds like the magnetic cover/case known issue. Just open the cover and don't touch the home button. Been discussed a lot. Search all threads.

Sorry, I just made a thread on this issue but I even took off the case. I got around the stuck on lock screen / flicker by turning it off. Not a solution but keeps me on the build.
The ROM is running great otherwise.
Also, any way to turn of Nook Screen when HDMI playing on TV. Uses much more of the battery.

Daydream Photos...

Hi,
I was using daydream back then in my N5 days, with letting that great thing showing me my pictures, while it did rest on the qi charger on my desk.
Now I was away from Nexus for a while, but returned recently with a N6, which is already running Marshmallow now. And here start my questions regarding photos on daydream...(clock, colours and news work without any issues)
1. when choosing photos and going into the settings, I cannot check the camera folder. well, i can check it, but when i go out of the settings and back in, the check box is empty again. All other possible choices work without problems, so I can chosse the Twitter folder, screenshots and others...they all do their job, only the camera folder is not working
Any ideas what the problem is?
2. when I was showing my photos on the N5, the pictures appeared somehow like thumbnails, in little frames and got stacked on the screen. You even were able to touch one and maximize to watch it...and you were able to swipe photos out of the screen. That was nice. Now, the photos are just shown fullscreen and as soon as you touch it, daydream stops and you land on the homescreen. Was this changed in 6.0, or maybe even sooner, or do I have a problem with my daydream?
Thanks for any hint, or just telling me, that this is the status quo with daydream and I have to deal with it...hopefully not!
Best regards
P.

really, nobody using daydream?! trying to push that once more...
