Hi, recently my SPV M5000 has been really acting weird. it was fine using WM5 official rom, then i upgraded it to luca's wm6.1 rom, and it was still fine. then a month or two later it started behaving weird. in apps such as word, typing on the keyboard brings up the phone app, and when left alone it suddenly starts dialling numbers (the last number dialled)
i flashed it to tomal's 6.1 rom, and its still doing the same thing!! i'm at my wits end right now. could it be the bootloader or something? im using v2.06. i cant remember if i upgraded to it or if my device came with it.
thanks in advance
Try Doc format and reflash ROM
thanks for the reply, i just tried it but it dosent work
after checking it out some more, i realised most of the keys work fine, however its the h,n,j and u keys that are causing it to launch the phone app. Im not sure why it keeps trying to dial the last dialled number all by itself. i have to cancel it maybe 10 times before it stops trying.
the green "call" button on the spine of the phone also dosent work
could this be a hardware issue?
If if you tried the doc format and flashed other roms and the issue is still there it might be hardware problem...
and one thing just after flashing to new rom don't back up anything and see if the problem is still there.. if no then this bight be due to some applications in backup....
cheers

sounds like hardware. you may have a sticky key. I'd take it to bits, give it a good clean and make sure the connectors are firmly pressed in - as concerns the spine keys and keyboard.
no, its not a sticky key. i guess its a loose/frayed connector
i'm reluctant to disassemble because of the form factor. guess i'll have to mothball it until i can get it repaired. i dont use it much anymore anyway, have since upgraded to a HD, but my girlfriend was using it as a mini laptop for word and skype when she didnt want to lug her laptop to college.
thanks anyway for the help
Is the screen intact? Is it clean around the edges? Did she spill coffee (cola?any drink?) on it? Is there any dirt around the screen where it meets the frame? Has it got a new screen protector installed recently?
Sounds like your hinge PCB got wet and is shorting.
Hello all and thanks in advance for the help.
I just got a refurb Hero from Sprint a couple weeks ago. I Rooted with Z4Root and started trying out Roms. I had just went from CM 6.2 to 6.1. Had everything working fine until my screen would stop coming out of hibernate mode. I would have to reset the phone to get the screen back on. It has gradually gotten worse (over the course of one day). Now when I reset the phone I might get the screen to turn on 1 out of 40 times, but the screen is now all messed up even when it does turn on now. I cant figure anything out other than to answer a call because I know where the slider is supposed to be on the screen for answering calls, so if someone calls I cant see anything I just swipe the screen and it answers fine.
Any ideas what might be causing this issue? Would it be a harware issue?
Thanks again
Yea I would try a different download you might have gotton a bad one. Also you should try a different rom after a full wipe. If that didn't work then I would say its a hardware issue.

Like.Its.Cool.I.Understand.
.AWAH.
Thanks for the reply. I did nandroid back to every previous backup I had. Now I cant get the screen to turn on at all so, Im guessing its hardware. taking it to Sprint Today, we'll see what they say.
Thanks again
Yup, They replaced the screen and I'm back in business!
Swwet, glad to hear it man now enjoy more xda

I was just wondering if there was something to do with installing different roms that could have cause the screen to go out? I am thinking not, but I am new to the whole rooting and rom-ing thing. Is it possible that something I did caused the screen to go out?
Na I doubt it. Hardware usually is the manufacturers fault or user error. Unless you droped it, banged it up real bad or flashed a gsm radio your good. And a screen issue such as yours is most def not a rom issue.The rom dev's on here are solid. And XDA is a well known and respected site. If you need any help with anything just let me know.

cool thanks for the response. I was just worried that maybe I messed it up somehow. Glad that was likely not the case
Hey so this is my first post ever, and im really sorry if i put it in the wrong place, if so mods can you do me a solid and move it?
Ive looked around the forums and didnt really seem to find anything on my issue, but my Lg quantum's touchscreen locked up on me. It is completely Non-Responsive, i thought maybe i messed something up in the registry so i did a cold boot and now im stuck at the Welcome to your LG LG-C900 windows phone screen and i cant hit anything! Any ideas what could be causing this to happen, and/or how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
when (if) you did your update to 7008, it should have made a restore point for ya. if you hook it back up to zune theres a restore button in the update page. might be worth a shot...
Hey buddy, thanks a lot! Im gonna give it a shot now, im putting it back together as we speak! If i havent updated it could an update maybe fix what was wrong? If that doesnt work, is there anything else we can try to do to fix it? Anybody know a good tutorial for me to take it apart?
***Edit***
Hey so im having trouble putting the phone into emercency download mode, im trying to work from the thread here , http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-935605.html , and im confused at the (VOL+CAM+PWR) i hold those and nothing happens to enter a download mode.... anybody have any advice?
i read somewhere that for the (VOL+CAM+PWR) to work, your phone must first be off first.
and idk if we are allowed outside links here, but THIS looks like the same link as your just on a diffrent site. maybe some searching on that site might bring up something...
So an update, after much tinkering with the phone I found that to get into emergency download mode you must first:
shut the phone off
slide open the keyboard
hold space then press power
it goes to download mode instantly
Sadly, updating the firmware manually did not bring back my touchscreen =[
Any other advice? Or somewhere i can go to learn to take apart the quantum properly?
Please post in the proper device forum! I will now move your thread. Please remember to look at the stickys up top, and to look at all the device forums before you post.

Did your digitizer go out? I broke mine -_-
Anyone find a guide on how to replace the digitizer?
Did you get the phone from a supplier (e.g. Bell, Sprint, AT&T)? If so, you might be able to contact their Customer Service to talk about repair/replacement...
I does sound like you have a hardware fault -- not something that can be fixed with firmware, etc.
I just took apart my quantum and found an amazing service manual for it if anyone needs it. I had the same thing when I put it back together but I had just unplugged the digitizer and didnt plug it back in. Ill put up a link to the file if anyone needs it. I gotta also say I friggen love this phone. I apparently knocked it off the table one night into a pitcher of Koolaid. It sat there for hours. In the morning I picked it up and poured a glass and there is my quantum at the bottom of the pitcher. I was livid. I just pulled battery out, dried it, gave it an alcohol bath, opened it up and put it in a tupperware container of rice for 24 hours, then used a hairdryer to get any remaining liquid in there dried. Put it all back together and the only thing wrong with it was water in the LCD. Just replaced the LCD so I can see better, (it was only annoying, but perfectly functional). Digressing... SO I found the service manual and even made a youtube video of the basics of taking it apart. Ill post the links in an edit.
The video sux I know but it was only because no one had one up yet, so I had to post it to show what I found out and what troubles I had etc.

Hi everyone! Unfortunately, my run with my T-Mobile G2 appears to be nearing it's end.. I've had this phone since November of last year, so fortunately for me, I'm still within the 1-yr warranty. I couldn't find a legit answer on the forum so far so hopefully someone will have the information I need to know now.
Lately, my phone has been getting crazy. Sometimes it would start pressing random things by itself. Apps would start by itself, things would type by itself, etc, etc. Then, at times certain areas of my screen wouldn't work at all, most noticeably the "y," "b," and "h" on my keyboards. And this doesn't matter whether I'm using the stock Gingerbread keyboard or Swype.
To answer any questions, yes I am rooted and I have been running CM 7.0.2. I tried to flash 7.0.3 to see if that would correct my issue but it didn't. I also tried to reset the phone via Privacy within the Android UI and via Recovery, both with no avail.
My question to y'all is how can I fix this if at all? If this problem is not fixable, can someone provide me with the MOST SIMPLE guide as to how to unroot and restore my original T-Mobile stock ROM if necessary for me to send it to claim warranty.. Finally, if I resorted to claiming warranty, does anyone know if T-Mobile will be sending me a refurb G2 or a new one or a completely different one?? Thanks ... This is EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE.
it happens to me plenty. keep the scroll pad on the side from changing angles in direct light or it goes nuts. if theres any water on the screen at all touch commands work funny. its errors in the optical touchpad and cpacitive screen technology, not the;phone itself.
edit: im stock if youre wondering
It happens even in the dark though. I think its problem with the screen.
Any word on this? the same thing is happening to my phone.
Hui,
I was also having this problem for some time and was reallythinking of replacing the phone until I finally got rid of this last week. To start with I think this is a software issue but I'm still not sure what sw is causing this. n order to fix it I had to install the rom again from scratch and did not restore anything from google. Because independent from whatever ROM I installed the issue appeared soon after I set up the phone. So if you wnt to give it try, do a clean ROM install or factory reset to your phone and then while setting up your device uncheck the option to backup and restore settings to your google account. I know that setting up everything manually does not sound great but it's better than the crazy touch screen.
Digitizer issues

Digitizer issues, T-Mobile just replaced my original release date G2 because of it.
They will send you a refurbished model and you have to send yours back in within 7 days or they bill you $400 I believe.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I had serious digitizer issues last month and thought for sure that my G2 was finished. Come to find out I had gotten some oil on my phone, probably from answering a text or phone call while eating at work. I took it out of its case and completely cleaned it with a cloth dampened with peroxide...not soaked just damp, and now my phone is back to normal. Give that a try and rule that out first before you replace the digitizer or phone. Make sure you clean the inside and outside of the case/skin if you have one too.
I finally figured mine out. I guess the digitizer is really really sensitive to moisture. I usually take my phone into the bathroom with me when I shower in the morning, once I stopped doing that and gave the phone some time to dry out (in a dessicant container, but rice would work just as well) my screen is back to normal. I guess the steam from the shower was enough to bring up some bugs.
I already trouble shot it with Google but I figured I would ask here as most of you know more than they.
I already did a factory reset 3 days ago because I deleted a file I shouldn't have. But now it has come down to them recommending me do another and then getting back if it still persists.
The problem is when I turn my screen back on I see white spots all over the screen for 2-3 seconds. I can't imagine why, or even why a factory reset is going to fix.
I have NEVER dropped (cross fingers) or got it wet, and truthfully have no idea how to tell and wouldnt want to begin taking the back off.
I am most certain there is no water damage
So I have tried:
Switched Wallpapers
Turned phone off then on
Switched from Apex to Launcher
Still there. I am posting a pic below. If anyone could help I would be most grateful.
Again you prolly know more than most of their employees
One time when I had a problem, but eventually got fixed, this is what I was told, they will do an advanced replacement, BUT I have to pay $350, then get it back when they get and verify the phone I send
I am not working so would not be able to do that. I suppose I could switch to my phone of choice I have here and just send it in?
Or I was told contact LG where there is no downpayment needed.
In either case, back then I was told there was stock for this type of situation, now I am told they no longer have any? You have any idea when they will catch up
THANKS for even taking time to read this, and even more if you can help

Can't imagine what sort of hardware issue or fault would cause that, it looks like some sort of effect done by software.
You need to reset your phone and go back to the stock ROM (if not already using that) and then see if it still does it, I suspect it will not.

Phil
So this was present before the factory reset 3 days ago? If not then do it again

Thanks to everyone, as you were responding, my friend Macky (maybe you know him LOL) suspected it had to be software/app because it showed up on the screen shot. So he said it wasnt hardware
I reset again and no problem
Thanks
lets say it wasn't the app, what could have caused it. (btw I dont root so dont know all the basics you prolly do) Just simple things like the computer that get messed up??
