Hi,
lot of users had reported the Screen Bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9_1BAiU_7k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNv8FMy_mVU
This bug will popup your starmenu when:
- you are using "huge" thumb while tapping the display (xt9 sms writing for example)
- cpu is overheating (because it's near the diplay area)
I'm working to solve this issue via software.
Project moved to my website:
http://www.xiaprojects.com/?section...ols&action=HTC Trinity - P3600 Screen Bug Fix
Changelog:
0.0.10 Bugfix, now work on all WM6.1 themes and also new "Transparent" feature make it invisible! a good starting point to put TopBar by default in P3600 roms
thank you!
Sounds great! I have this problem so I would be keen to find a solution. Good luck and thanks in advance!
Exellent project.
Im testing now
Great program.
Since i've installed it, i have not been able to provoke the star menu poping up. Usually I could provoke it by randomly tapping the today screen, but not anymore...
This has been the most annoying bugs of the telephone, and i'm very happy that it seems to be fixed...
Thank you so very very much...
BeeBo
10x a lot stefanux ) i've started the TopBar program and tried it , wrote down a couple of e-mails and sms'es, and the start menu did not pop out even once , thank you again for your work
hmm.. i thought its a hardware issue? i used to have start menu problem.. sent in for screen replacement.. now my camera pops up from time to time ha..
ha! All this time I was wondering why my battery status kept popping up at random.. I never thought it was a screen problem. Maybe on my next disassembly I can sand down the bezel or something.
Stefano,
I am wandering if this program need to be place in the startup folder so that it will get started ? (please forgive me if you think this is a silly question).
Thanks for the great problem.
stefanux .... Thank you !!! although your intention was to let us capture the false pressure coordinate and feedback to you, somehow after running your little proggy, like the others i was not able to reproduce the start menu problem anymore. fyi, i did manage to reproduce the problem right before i start your little proggy.
will report again if the problem comes back after a soft reset Hopefully, this would make this most annoying problem go away.
again, thanks !
perfect
Hi,
good work, it just perfect for me, finally got rid of this only unbelievble bug.
thnks.
grate work
Excellent Tool! Thanks for posting it. Is there a way to prevent you from running it multiple times. Since you don't see anything on screen you are tempted to keep clicking on it - since your not sure its running. Maybe the second time you click it can popup saying its already running. But otherwise this thing rocks.

hi again, finally i manage to reproduce the start menu drop popup thingy. somehow, its harder to reproduce when your program is active.
However, manage to capture the coordinate of the fake pressure, 4 out of 4 time 0:0.
Hopefully this helps
omg, if this works..it will solve one of the biggest headaches (unfortunately, not all) i have with this phone!!!
Edit: Running this app and randomly touching the screen still results in the start menu popping up. I've noticed someone saying it works after a while. Does that mean this app takes some time before it can adapt to the pressures being applied at the start menu? Also, what is TopBar-diags.zip for?
Good !!!

Try 0.0.3 when ready, diags may help to find which coords are "fake"
I'm using the diag version. Oddly enough, even when the start menu pops up, the box where it displays the coords is still labeled with "Start!".

hi stefano
just a minor feature request is it possible to fix the big for landscape screen orientation as well?
i notice another prob.. usually i ignore my alarm (default wm alarm) on my trin, but when i woke up in the morning, i can see the notification blinking between calendar & notification.. i'm annoyed with that problem.. is it normal?... can someone point me how fix that?..
Hi. I'm unsure if this is covered elsewhere. If so, please disregard.
After getting the OTA 3.2 upgrade (unrooted; obviously), I noticed a bug. If I had any applications that weren't set as the default app for a specific piece of functionality, then the option to choose which app to use no longer appears.
For example, prior to 3.2, if I clicked on a bookmark, I was prompted whether to use the default browser or Opera. I didn't set either to use as a default because I may use one or the other depending on the situation at the time since both treat pages differently.
Another example of this shows up when clicking on either the ASUS weather widget or the weather info on Beautiful Widgets. Again, clicking on the forecast for either of these will call up a browser page but since I didn't have a default one selected, the screen dims, but no option to choose a browser appears.
This isn't limited to the browser. I'm getting the same "dim screen, no option to choose" with other programs that had no default option set, such as movies. Prior to 3.2, clicking on an MP4 movie asked me if I wanted to view in the gallery or PowerAMP. Now.. ..nothing. Dim screen. Clicking anywhere or hitting 'back' returns to the screen without the file being played.
It seems any attempt to launch any file or in-app link that points to a link or file that is unassigned results with the same "dim screen" road block.
Anyone else experiencing this? or am I the only lucky one getting this frustrating bug?
Edit: Possible temporary fix...
Quick afterthought. It may be possible with some apps to set "use as default" for a specific file type in the app settings and this may fix this issue for myself and any others. Personally, I don't want to do this. I like being able to choose on the fly and would like this bug fixed. Still, if it's going to be weeks until a fix arrives, I may need to use this workaround (if it is even possible for all my affected associations) so I'm not standing still till a patch comes.
UPDATE:
While I can't be sure this fixed the problem, I undocked the tablet and removed both a 16GB MicroSD (from the unit) and a 16 GB SD (from the dock) and then re-inserted both memory cards and the tablet into the dock. After that, my links called up the association window again. I 'believe' it was reseating the tablet into the dock that corrected the issue, but ejecting and putting the memory cards may have been the answer. Note to self: check results after 'each' step.
Just tested this on mine and no I do not have this issue, I still get all the prompts for what to open stuff in be in links or videos from file managers etc
I just noticed this problem too. Very annoying, reverting to previous firmware...
I got this bug too. I tried the above solution as suggested but no luck. Then i tried another one from one of the threads here. It works!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16100385&postcount=4
Hell, my bookmarks don't even open at all.
There is no pinch-to-zoom either.
Edit: tried the above & it did work how strange. I have auto rotate turned off.
Regarding this bug in the default program selection when trying to run videos or pictures from file managers. As D3StRuCtO posted the link to the "cant play videos in stock players" thread, nego_0 posted a fix for non-dock users and this is verified a working fix. Simply turn your TF 90 degrees to portrait mode and go through the selection process. it works. Go back to landscape mode and everything is good again... Thank you nego_0! If you have a dock like me, just undock the TF and go through the selection process in the file managers and it woked. Redock the TF and everything is good again. It is a weird bug and I never would have found the fix without this forum. Thanks again! Our members ROCK!
*EDIT*
I found other programs that were supposed to bring up the "complete action using" selection that would simply dim the screen and not give you the option to choose are now fixed as well. It didn't seem to be limited to pictures and videos.
Removing the dock and putting it back on seem to have solved the problem. Thanks for the tip!
OK I did some more tests: upon a reboot with the dock on, the problem was back. With the tablet in the "stuck" state, I removed the dock and the selection screen magically appeared.
I had this very same problem. No dock or SD here... Did the portrait - landscape rotation cycle and everything is solved now.
Regards.
This makes for a workaround, and I'm thankful for that, but I think the underlying problem is that while in Landscape mode, the OS won't go through the process of asking for a choice of browser, and you can't make the rotation with the keyboard attached. I went through the removal and rotation, and that was fine until I reattached the keyboard and was back where I started.
I had to remove it a second time, and this time assigned a default browser, then subsequently was able to operate properly with the keyboard back on. This problem is going to confuse the heck out of casual users, and ASUS will need to fix it pronto.

Unfortunally this was the first problem I noticed. It happens all over again when you shut the unit off and restart with the dock plugged it. I guess with this official thread maybe someone from Asus will notice it? Not holding my breath. Wonder if full factory datat reset will help. I've found when updating android on my phone tht helps wierd problems but don't want to have to go through all the re-setting up and downloading of my programs.
What a hassel. I guess when they officially begin supporting 3.2 over the phone line I can get them to resolve? Not holding my breath for that either.
I've been thinking about this further and think I might at least be able to point to the culprit (granted, in a 'shoot an arrow into the air' and you're bound to hit something manner).
Recently, ASUS made a change to the way the tablet behaves when docked. Specifically, in the way the auto-rotate functions while docked. Prior to this change, you could view your screen in portrait mode (even if docked) by turning the entire tablet + keyboard 90° or more. After the change, the screen locks at landscape oriented with the tablet in place. Flip it around now and it stays oriented (even upside-down).
With some applications, display boxes are written to start in a specific orientation which will then flip based on the current viewing angle. Since Android was (first and foremost) a phone OS (that uses portrait as it's main orientation), it may start most pieces of functionality such as display of the "choose desired app" dialog box in portrait mode but rotates it based on a call to the current device orientation status. However, I'm wondering if the OS can't reconcile that it is in landscape mode because auto-rotate has been turned off with the change ASUS made when the tablet is docked (making it specifically an auto-rotate issue), or if this change is blocking the dialog in another fashion due to the way ASUS programmed this functionality to communicate with the OS (making this a 'ASUS isn't playing well with Google' issue).
In short, this may be a bug relating to either a "auto-rotate / forced orientation" toggle, or a bug with the ASUS "lock orientation while docked" functionality.
It could also be related to the new "default size / zoom to view" 3.2 functionality mixed with a locked viewing angle.
Thoughts?
Edit: Just did a test. Rebooted the tablet (while docked) and the bug occurred; as expected. I lifted the tablet out of the dock but didn't change the orientation. I just simply lifted it up, then set it back into the dock. When I launched an html link, it now works. I know that some users (without docks) are able to fix this by simply changing orientation after booting. The process of unseating, then reseating may be providing a similar function as changing the orientation does with a dock-less tablet.
Just to say that, as stated by others, as soon as I rebooted the bug came back. I rotated it and the bug disappeared, but I sure hope that Asus solves this on a future OTA.
Regards.

It is bit ridculous that the bug comes back aftrer a reboot. I guess with 3.2 we are supposed to reboot?
I'm not 100% sure about this but don't Android apps actually shut down and restart instantly when the orientation is changed?... so doing this restarts the Launcher?
And the same happens when removing and inserting into the dock? launcher restarts...
Try this... reboot in one orientation and test and try the other.. i.e. Boot in Portrait and see if the bug is there then change to landscape to see if that fixed it... then boot in landscape and test..
This is probably a very noob question, so I apologize in advance:
I just rooted my new Nook Touch, using touchnooter-2-1-31.img. The firmware on the Nook is 1.1.0. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the app icon screen to scroll past the first screen, so I can't get to things like NookColor Tools, etc. When I scroll either left or right, the app icons flicker and act as though the screen is scrolling properly, but when the flickering stops the same icons remain. Any ideas about what could be causing this?
Thanks...
Solved it
Turns out I was being too polite with it. I gave up trying to nicely drag from one screen to the next and spent about 30 secs clawing at it, when it finally scrolled to the next icon group. It just needed a bigger hammer...
Hi Everyone,
Recently my phone was updated to Android v7 and since then I noticed that the icons for the cursor in text boxes and system dialog boxes have got messed up.
I read on Android central, one user posted that uninstalling Kaspersky fixed the issue, although in my case I don't have Kaspersky, so I can't go about uninstalling all apps, got a hell lot of them!

I think I'm having a similar issue... the cursor locator (below the cursor which points to it) is the wrong size. I tried changing resolutions, nothing fixed it. This also happens when text is selected by long pressing, the selector graphics are too large and it gets cut off. It was working fine when phone was new, I cannot remember at which point it started messing up. Possibly after Oculus VR first changed the screen resolution to WQHD? I set it back to FHD for normal use, but problem persists.

Maybe found a clue.... this problem seems to occur everywhere, except in a few apps, namely Signal and FB Messenger and FB itself. I thought it might be only in Gapps, but it happens in a few apps that are not part of Gapps. I have seen other people had issues with the little on/off sliders for options in different menu screens under setting, but mine all look fine.

I have those glitches as well apart from what i posted.
I read online its because of some app messing things up. I seriously don't want to reset and start testing this out one app at a time. It will take at least a few days to get back up to speed.
Thanks :crying:
This is driving me nuts. Any time an application crashes I get a red overlay with diagnostic data that covers the screen. The only way I can remove it is by rebooting. As I'm typing this it's covering my screen! Help me find the setting to get rid of this please
Attached are screenshots showing the various examples. I literally froze every single user app and a few system apps I could except for Chrome and it still happened so I'm certain this is part of the latest os update
Another example showing that it doesn't rotate
Bump. It's very annoying

Have you accidentally activated some drawings or debug within developer settings? Or any task manager with overlay (check your processes)?
I assumed I might have enabled something like that and went through all the settings looking for it but can't find one.
I also used titanium backup to freeze every app on my phone until there were only a few systems apps left and it still happens which leads me to believe it's some feature in the os
