Apologies if this has already been discussed, in which case please indicate the thread to me.
I have burnt out the bright light, which is used as a flashlight for the camera. Has anyone had the same problem and been able to repair it without sending it back for repairs. If positive, where can I find the parts in the United Kingdom?
Many thanks for your assistance

What flashlight app did you use?

Burnt out Camera Flash light
That is the worst thing! I used the camera, not your software to map the key. Closed the XDA, put it in my pocket and the damn flash led stayed on for over an hour!!!
Eric
Bah, humbug. I built timers into mine for just that reason.
If it's under warranty you might be able to get a new for old. Otherwise, I really couldn't say, I don't know if the device is still available in this country

Yes, it is still under warranty, will have to return it. On a separate issue, if it no longer available in the country (but still provided by 02), what is replacing it?

Where, tried everything, maplin, rswww, got some different leds, tried them, nothing works. Really appreciate if you could tell me where to get them. Eric
This is another case for me!
Well, I currently don't have any problems with my universal's "flash light", but it surely is a high intensity white led.
Most of these leds have the same operating voltage and if this is not the case, it will be neccessary just to measure the exact voltage at the led's leads, it might not even be burnt at all, it it's surely driven by a transistor.
I was just watching lumileds page and they have a led that does exactly the "flash" function, they even mention a competitor (I don't who it is but might be osram or another), what's also important is that phisically is that the led has to be phisically similar and the wors thing that can happen is that might be dimmer than the original.
I'll try to find out something more...
bye for now
i have exec for sale buy it take the bulb out then sell the screen and parts on

Hallo everyone and happy new year.
I'm searching for a software that totally disables the phisical keys in front of the hd2 such as in toshiba tg01.(tg01 never had phisical keys, I know)
Is this possible? Or I am crazy?
Italian newsgroups think that it's very hard.

Well you could use AE Button Plus to make the volume buttons not work, but it doesn't work for the 5 buttons below your screen.
But lol why would you want that anyway xD

So, Thanks for your answer.
I need this because I frequently put my phone in my jeans and frequently
on-off key turn on the light of the phone even though it is locked, and I see that battery reduces

So if you disable all the buttons, how do you expect to turn the screen on?
Buy yourself a case or pouch so that you stop pressing buttons in your pocket. Either that, or stop fiddling about in your pockets - it'll turn you blind

well, it's possible rotating or with accelerometer or with a little touch back, but I think it's not impossible because i have had toshiba tg01 and it has no hd keys but it's full touch.
Yes the pouch is a good idea and hd2 has its own pouch in bundle with the phone but the pouch is too large for my jeans.

So as well as wanting software that locks the hardware buttons, you want software that unlocks the phone with a given gesture of your choice?
I hope you find what you're looking for mate. Personally, I'd just use the pouch and buy some bigger jeans

but wouldnt it drain the battery as well if you had a program that runs in RAM and would look for the gestures you make (maybe accidental by moving yourself) and compare them with that one that unlocks the screen all the time?

Seriously. After that, we'll have some people *****ing and crying because their battery drains too fast and memory gets full so easily.

Someone's just posted a "shake to wake" style app in the themes and apps forum. You now just need a way to lock the buttons when the screen's off and you're done!

Yes, it's possible, but in Toshiba tg01 it was automatic with no program in ram so I think it will be possible for hd2 with a new cooked rom that excludes
hd keys.
If my memory isn't bad something like this was made for htc diamond.

Yes I tried it too.
Not as shake'n but very interesting thank you.
Hd keys continue working but the screen is totally black except for the digital clock.
I think that battery consumption is very low when the screen is black, isn'it?
When the road gets rough my Magic bounces a lot in its windshield mount. Unfortunately the trackpad on this device is kind of loose, so it starts shifting the view in Google maps :S
Is there a way to disable the trackpad altogether (I have root)? I don't use it anyway.
Thanks!
if you're serious about not using it then crazy glue it
or use some other type of epoxy that will "gum" it up
I appreciate the response, but I'm sure everyone will understand when I say that I don't wish to permanently modify my hardware like that
I was hoping for a software solution.
No app is available to do that. If its that big of a deal I would use some tape to hold the trackball in place.
You doing rally or something?
Nope just driving in Washington and maps keep "drifting" around when there's any rough pavement. I can only assume I have a defective trackpad or something.
Oh well, thanks for the suggestions guys.
sorry couldnt be of more help, your issue is unique, i know you've already thought of the normal solutions like warranty, sending it in to get fixed, getting it fixed by third party etc, there are housing kits on ebay with new trackballs, i've also seen aftermarket trackballs that light up different colors, but all of this costs money and or you sending your phone in (making it not available to you)
all the best
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I may look into aftermarket trackballs like you suggested.

Hello everybody!
I like my Nexus One very much, but there's a big problem for me: the "grab around" annoyance - i.e., when you touch the very edge of the screen with your thumb, the touchscreen turns irresponsible or crazy.
Please, does anyone know some fix for this problem? Some ROM (my N1 is rooted) or app, anything? Please note that I'm not referring to the very known calibration problem, but to the very sensitive edge.
I'm just asking here because I've already searched on XDA and Google, and found no fix for this.
Thanks
And you will not find the fix for this. You sould get used with or try to be more gently with touching the edge...

I have this also....thought it was just me. The simple fix is to turn screen off and back on and it seems to act sensibly again.
Not ideal though.
There is no fix for this. I experience it too, just barely touch the edge and it goes nuts. I use a rubber case now anyway which solves the issue for me.
Thanks for the answers
Wiggz - the problem you must be referring is the calibration, that fixes going to sleep mode. The problem I talk about is the sensitive edge of the touchscreen, what Google doesn't even consider a bug - only in their heads...
I fixed this by using a silicone case - the phone gets veeery ugly, but that's a fix...
What could resolve this excluding a silicone case?
thanks
Off topic but the thread title makes it sound like you're getting hassled by gay guys. Just saying!
That's reach-around lmao
I've learned to hold the phone differently... haven't had this "problem" since the first month the phone came out.
Oh, and I've never used a case, probably never will either - this phone is way to slick to ruin with a case IMO.

I don't really consider it a bug either. If you're touching the touch screen, what do you think the phone should do differently? Especially considering the limitations of the N1's touch screen. With proper multi-touch I suppose the phone could decide to ignore stationary touches at the edges, but with the N1 that's not possible.
It is annoying. The phone needs more of an edge.
And if we could just turn multitouch off? I think this would not affect me so much.
Is there some way to do that?

Yep, even if possible the second touch i.e. where you actually want to press wouldn't register.
Multi-touch not being supported by the launcher is actually the cause of this, not the solution.

Ditto. And in addition - even having proper multi-touch unlike Nexus One, I believe it would still require quite complicated algorithms to know the difference between the accidental palm touch and the "true" finger touch - and so comes the question: is that thread about being unhappy with the slim size of the N1? Come on, really. If you want some extra edge - buy a case around it.
Well, thanks for all the answers. The only solution, then, is using a case.
At least, now I won't be searching again and again about this problem. I'll search only for a better case.

So if I get a third party launcher with multitouch I will be able to get around this problem? Basically launcher apps with the pinch to preview homescreen support multitouch, right?

No. First of all, because the N1 digitizer is crap so no software solution is technically possible for this phone. If you had a phone with proper multitouch then you could write some ugly, wonky hack that would sometimes be able to guess when you were accidentally touching the screen but it would probably cause more trouble then it would be worth. Basically the only solutions to this are to either get a case as has been suggested or use the iPhone 4 solution, i.e. don't hold it like that.
As the title may indicate, I'm getting really frustrated with my phone constantly waking in my pocket. I do like using DTTW when it actually works correctly, and carry the display side in against the leg to prevent damage... But i'm getting pretty freaking mad samsung over the pocket dialing, pocket setting changes, pocket flashlight activation, etc... I know this forum used to have all kinds of threads about this, some reporting faulty proximity sensors and such. I'm starting to wonder if mine has a hardware issue with the sensor because it was one of the first wave of phones produced, so the initial hardware revision, and my problem has never been fixed by a system update.
So does anybody have any ideas that could help? I always have accidental touch protection" enabled, and don't use lift to wake or any other gestures. I'm on the newest system version, I've cleared the caches multiple times... I'm just about mad enough to go demand a replacement, no BS, because losing a function like this should not happen on a freaking thousand dollar phone.

Do you have any idea what revision it is on now? I can't find anything by googling it, I just know my about phone section shows a hardware revision of 1.0.

Honestly, your issue, and the fact they got rid of the led notification light, are my only 2 issues with this phone.
I was having all the same problems as you are to an extent, until I just gave up cut off DTTW altogether. Now I just use tap to wake AOD and I'm actually just as pleased. But yeah, the proximity sensor is busted with this phone for sure.

I probably would do the same if I didn't have the plus model and also wouldn't be so bothered by this... But the position of our power button is just terrible for one handed use, especially if you use your left. That's why I'm in the habit of DTTW on then using the one handed operation + app to turn off. It's a decent bandaid for the otherwise out-of-reach button. The other thing is that it really isn't a compromise we should have to make in such an expensive, "luxury-priced" phone... I mean this wake gesture has been around for at least five years and I don't think it's ever been implemented so badly... I mean this was never an issue with my old HTC one or my pixel.

And added to the fact is they removed that pressure sensitive or whatever it's called home button and moved the power button to the top - not as easy to use as it used to be with previous Galaxy devices now.
