Touchscreen issue may have found temp fix.

Sorry if this should be posted here but Ive been switching around with all the builds and I have found that with all the builds if I disable auto rotation in system setting I do not get the touchscreen issues ever and Ive been running them for like 3 plus days with heavy texting. However, when I turn it on I get occasional freezing. Just putting this out there so others can try it and see if it works for them too.

Interesting, I've seen other people reporting similar things, going to try it! Thanks!

What is the fix?

Maybe its a rom and build combo plus the auto rotate that makes it work similar to the robot voice

Wow, this one actually worked for me! My screen had stopped registering fast swipes, but I checked this off and now it is! It's even working when I put auto-rotate back on. (It'll probably crap out again, but we'll see).
EDIT: I just noticed that this is the HD2 board :O I have a Sensation. It still worked though. Thanks!

Lights up for no reason

My phone lights up for no reason.. I always have it in Android but never in Winmo, and its not build,rom or radio related. Anyone an idea why this is happening?

What lights up? screen? notification light? hardkeys?
Well let's see:
-Never in Winmo: that's mean your hardware works
-It's not build (Android build), rom(WM rom), or radio related. if you said so, there is nothing else to take the fall for.
Conclusion: ghost.

yes a ghost, now let's get real enough fooled around.
My backlight jumps on every now and then, in android, I'm currently using the disire HD rom, but I noticed it on other roms too, that my screen lights up for no reason at all. I woke up a few times when my phone led up, don't know what is causing it.. when charging it does it, I don't know if it does it when it's in my pants, I hope not, but I'm not sure, that could cause battery drain.

+1 on this one.. I have the same issue, and I don't think it's because of battery drain, because I've had it light up both when the battery is outside the notification-range (even 70%+) and when the phone is charging.
I have thought that it might be related to wifi falling out and temporarily connecting to mobile and back, but I have yet to see evidence of this.
Hopefully someone else have this "problem" (more an annoyance really ) and that we can get some more data on when or why it's happening.

It is not because of wifi because I disable it at night

Have you think of any apps that you installed can trigger that?

Setcpu maybe? Otherwise I have no idea

DK28, The Good And Bad

Even though its certain this isn't the official release, I thought we should condense the topics and just post the your thoughts about the good and bad features this update provides.
Ill start..dk28 isn't that awful for me like others. The only problems I've noted was samsung widgets disappearing sometimes, home screen rotation lag, and a few checkers showing up in the browser when zooming in and out.
However, on the bright side, flash is very smooth, and there are better icons

GPS fubared?

No notification when charging usb

Hey guys i recently started having a problem with the back button.it will pick up half the time and then its unresponsive the time any ideas on what i can do?

Probably just lag. Which way did you flash dk28?
Btw, I came up with some other things.
1. Notfications are delayed (ex. Handcents icons in the top bar are sometimes delayed)
2. Keyboard delayed (its actually a bit worse than before)

*Keyboard/touchscreen/captivate button lag/failure to register action/press
*Streaming music skips (last.fm) while doing anything else; like browsing the web.
*Slow orientation change
*No lineout on multimedia dock yet
*None of the unicorns and rainbows flying out of the screen that were promised by the legion of unrelenting froyo fanboys littering this forum for the past month.

Same here, I guess a few of us got lucky. Just very small things such as checker boarding. I don't have homescreen lagg though, or widgets that disappear.

GPS actually finally works for me with the update, I'm getting signal indoors in places I hadn't previously and it has yet to time out and require me to reflush the agps data or reboot the phone (used it all day today for work).

Not seeing this one either, lets me know right away though the notification bar as per usual.
However I am experiencing one very odd piece of behavior, If I open the phone to show the keyboard, turn off the screen and leave it sitting ... the keyboard LED blinks constantly. I'm not sure if it's an app of mine conflicting or froyo itself but it's fairly annoying.

That's odd...maybe your phone is actually damaged then

I personally went back to 2.1, rock solid and stable.
On 2.2, Screen rotation is slow as molasses, GPS is stuck on my work location and would not work at all in updating. Browser was a bit slower compared to 2.1. Hated the scattered, non-alphabetical applications folder, wtf?!!
I enjoyed the 2.2 leak but the little niggles weren't enough to stay on it.
I did like the coloured menus, and the ability to turn off 3G when holding the power button for a few secs.

I keep getting errors when connecting to Wifi. I will look down at the phone and wifi will be off even though i never turned it off, and then the notification toggle wont do anything, and when I go into settings to enable it, it says "error" underneath the Wifi entry. Then it takes a few tries to get it connected again.
I do like where Froyo is headed, but this is absolutely no where near polished enough for final release.
Edit: Having a fully working GPS is awesome though. 2 meter accuracy = Awesome.

Does anyone else have lag when trying to adjust brightness on the notification bar?

If you press menu > edit > menu again, there's an option for A-Z order.
Guess it doesn't matter now since you downgraded, but just thought id let you know.
Edit: lilxflip, yes. I'm getting the same problem but didn't notice that until now

I've noticed since 2.2 that when a caller hangs up, I get a single beep in my bluetooth earpiece confirming that the call has ended, which I like...didn't have any sound before that.

Anyone else having trouble hanging up during a phone call? I hit the damn End button at least 3-4 times before it decides to hang up.

I must be one of the lucky few, everything works great, and not only that it fixed all the issues I had with the previous 2.1 build. I've tried out just about everything I can think of wifi, gps, 4g, pandora, etc.
edit: Should add, I did a factory reset after I installed it, wiped everything the only bit I loaded back in was contacts.

Give the phone a few secs after the screen comes back on then press it. Works fine; if you immediately press it.. it doesn't hangup. Seems intentional..
Umm.. aside from no GPS now which I plan to fix by reflashing di18 then 2.2... I don't find any major problems. The keyboard does have a bit of a registration flaw but not too major..
The leds do light up whenever the screen is off.
And I don't think the brightness sensor likes my room light because it enjoys changing itself a bit.

I'm always weary about doing wipes, so to test if this is true, mid anyone else testing out this also to see if he's right? =P

I have noticed the Sammy widget thing and the slow screen rotations but I was intrigued by your bug. So I tried it. Definitely happened. I wouldn't say 'blinks constantly' though. At least not in my case. It flashed on for about 2-3 seconds every 30 or so seconds. Maybe even as long as a minute. Caught me off guard. I watched it for a bit then went back to reading this thread only to have it happen out of the corner of my eye.

Woah, just tried it. I had similar results. However, I opened the keyboard, let the flash disappear, then 2-3 seconds later it came back. And stayed there too, for about a minute or so!
Not really a big deal in my opinion; I honestly don't use the keyboard often due to its laginess..

[Q] Android NAND - occasional pale screen

Hey,
I've got the HD2 running extremely smoothly with the NexusHD2-Gingerbread v2.2 build.
Since moving to android and trying out WP7 I have been experiencing an issue where after a whole day of running perfectly I will turn the screen on to find everything is washed in white - it's like the screen turns greyscale but in white so everything is still visible and works but in white.
i don't seem to be able to find this problem anywhere else but it has happened with all the android nand roms and the WP7 rom - a soft reset fixes the issue. I'm currently using radio Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 and have switched around but haven't found one that fixes the problem...
Any thoughts on what could be causing the problem??
Thanks, Luke.

I have the same problem sometimes. Will be glad if someone can explain!

Ive also experienced this, disappears after reboot or sometimes if i turn the screen on-off a couple of times, kinda weird.

Glad to see others are having this problem - seems to be so rare but I cannot find a solution. Would be interested to see if it still occurs now with standard wm6.5.
Anyone else experiencing this or have some idea of a fix?

i too have this problem.many times screen just go off like greyscale.can anyone help?

One more with the same problem...

Never had it with my currentrom (Hyperdroid) until I've read this thread.
Bump for wisdom.

Are you morons really that stupid
Get the screen out of the sun and away from hot surfaces you dumb bastards and it wont happen, it isn't a nand but a screen issue.
With stupidity like that you will be admins of XDA in no time

Erm what the f*ck? No need for that. Any actually, it's not a screen issue, it's an issue in earlier ROM's (well from what I've experienced). Like flash Cotulla's Desire ROM and it happens a lot. I presume you don't really like XDA due to your username? Banned maybe? Why would you even bother making a new account and just trollin'? That's sad, lol.
I only had it when the first batch of ROM's came out. Never withing the past month and a half.
It's like the screen goes negative.
But yeah, there isn't a clear fix for it AFAIK, you should back-up everything on your ROM and try an up-to-date ROM and see if it's still happening. I doubt it.

having the same problem as well
usually happens after i wake up, so during its idle time which is kinda strange
i also noticed it started happening after i installed cracked widget locker, any of you using that?

It happenes to my phone quite regulary but only running android roms, i think around september 2010 it happened the first time. I suspeced my phone, but even after getting a new hd2 it happens sometimes. It usually just happens randomly, not after specific actions. Sometimes it stays only for some minutes and sometimes it can be only fixed with a reboot.
I'd really like to know when this bug will be fixed.

I was having exacly the same issues with my old build. But since im using CoreDroid this problem has dissappeard.

+1 I've only experience this twice, and not since December, but I found it weird both times. I think both times were during a phone-call. A reset worked.

Wow...another keyboard hero....you are so brave typing that, we are all in awe of how awesome and manly and strong and tough you are!!
ANYWAY......STFU...it's not a screen problem.
I too have this problem, and it is my 2nd HD2 and happens VERY rarely, but does happen and has happend on both of them.
OH, and Mr Tough Guy....I live in the UK...VERY rarely get warm weather over here, so it AINT the sun.
You, Sir = FAIL.
Matt

Same here happens once or twice a month no big deal though
Sent from my HD2

I'm currently running imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0 since a month or so, the pale screen appears sometimes up to 2-3 times on one day and then not for several days. A reboot allways fixes it, sometimes it fixes itself after some minutes.
But i really find it annoying.

This happened to me in most desire/desire hd sense builds.
Now, I use the official hd2 MIUI and gingerbread seems to solve the issue.

Blurry Icons and Quick Settings/Notifications when swiping

Hi, so I got my Moto G4 about 2 days ago and I noticed today when I was swiping on my home screen from left to right the app Icons release a blurry trail like some sort Motion Blur , and In the Notifications too the Wi-Fi and Cellular toggle leave a blurry trail of the icon when swiping up or down. Is this a software problem? I just Factory reseted my phone and the problem is gone but reapeared later again. I think that it's because I had too many app icons on my home screen (I had only 2 pages)?

Posted there still no solutions thought. I noticed when my phone gets hot the blur is almost gone (It wasn't noticable) What is going on? Also I flashed a older version of the firmware and still had that blur. It got heavy again after I installed like 12 apps and then I updated again to the latest build and still the blur is there.

Try to go to service center.Make sure you have locked the bootloader.

I also have this problem. The support advised me to send the phone to a service center.
For information, this usually occurs when the screen is hot, about 10 minutes of use. Particularly visible when used as GPS (waze or google maps).
This is a hardware problem. Not software, it remains after a quick restart.

Thanks I'll lock the bootloader and go in to the service center and let them check it out. Altrought in EU it doesn't matter if it's unlocked I think but I'll lock it again.

Thanks for the info! For me it's the opposite when my phone is cold (To be exact, the battery when it's at 22,0°C in CPU-Z) the blur is there and really noticable. When I use my phone and the battery hits 35-37°C the blur is almost gone everywhere but an app named "Discord" that has really small text has the blur and it's really noticable. I'll send it and see what they can do.
