g2/mac problem? - G2 and Desire Z General

My Macbook Pro goes straight to sleep mode when I place my G2 on the bottom left corner of my laptop (touching the "fn" and "control" keys). Then it turns back on when I remove the G2. Anyone else has this problem? Or knows what is going on?

It's a magnet that is activated to sleep your MAC. I have macbook
and I never did that to it but that's what is happening

That's pretty cool. Ill try it when I get home.. although I have the pro so the sensor might be in a differnt location.

WiFi deathgrip

Has anyone noticed that when you have the phone in landscape mode and you have the keyboard out and you are typing you loose wifi signal? Then remove left hand and signal comes back? I will have to make a video when I get home and have a camera to do so. Anyone else?

Just tried it and nope...My signal doesnt even change 1 bar.
Your holding it wrong lol

I tried this and I did lose one bar of wifi. I also tried with the keyboard closed by covering the top of the phone with my hand, and also lost a bar of wifi. But it was not a deathgrip issue where signal was instantly lost. Guess this just means the wifi antenna is on the top of the G2, and obstructing it has an effect.

Defiantly not holding it wrong...and not apply hardly any pressure. I didn't notice it at all at home...but at my in laws. Possibly not a very strong wifi signal but makes 100% difference when I have my hand over the top of the phone. I've had an email waiting to send and as soon as I removed my hand the email sent. Will post video hopefully tonight showing how little pressure is applied and how strongly the signal is affected.

I don't lose any bars from my wifi. That's odd though.
I lose a bar from my phone signal.

all backwards button

I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this issue. I am currently running the latest cyan 7 nightly but i do recall it happening 2 other times on cyan 7 RC4 and RC1. I am not at all saying it only happens on cyan, i am just showing when and how it happened. All 3 times it happened my battery was below 10% and i restarted my phone to have the issue occur. It seems as if every button on the screen would choose the exact mirrored opposite of itself on the screen. If i would press the phone icon on adw the default on the other side wich happens to be internet browser would launch. If i pulled down on the notification bar the app drawer would open and so on and so on. the only thing that was regular was when i would press an option in the main menu such as wifi or location, basically anything that didnt have an option next to it that it could switch to. after a few minutes i restarted the phone again to have the issue go away as fast as it started. It was not only in adw for those wondering it was anything that had an option next to it, such as pressing favorites in the browser and it would launch whatever is opp of it, settings i think im not positive at the moment. Oh well i just figured i would share some of my story with all of u in case it somehow starts a topic or even some how helps somebody out in any way. thanks, veritas

I work for a cell phone repair company and we recently had a G2 come in with heavy water damage. after doing the water damage treatment the phone powered on, everything working fine.
I powered it off to put my SIM into it to test the call functionality and when it powered back up the entire touchscreen was backwards, even the softkeys at the bottom.
we replaced the digitizer and that fixed the issue, so maybe T-Mobile or HTC will warranty it if its a bad digi

Twitching screen

I've noticed an annoying bug on my touch screen on my sgs2, and wondered if anyone else has this problem.
Basically, the problem seems to be able to be reproduced by, for example, scrolling the settings menu with your finger, then stopping, but leaving your finger pressed on the screen, as if you were holding it still with your finger. Mine seems to be twitching and moving around slightly, it doesn't stay still.
Not a big deal you may think... But if your an angry birds player or a player of any game or app that requires precision movements then this is an annoying bug.
I'm on ke1. Can anyone else try this for me? Cheers.
Mine had stopped doing it now... But, I have noticed it before, so it seems I have an intermittent problem / fault / bug. Anyway, can everyone post here if they notice this... It happens in every app I've used that involves scrolling.
Nope, mine doesn't do this. And I'm glad about it! Sucks man, trey flashing a different rom.

Are you using a non samsung charger?
This used to be a charger problem, should work flawlessly with the charger thats provided with the phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Could be a glitch in the motion setting, if you go to settings>motion and test the one where you put you finger on the screen and tilt the phone and the background moves.

You using the samsung charger?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Depends on quality of electric supply out of socket as well as which charger in my experience.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Mine was on charge when it happened, and it still happened some time after, but it stopped soon after.
3rd party charger (I leave my sammy one at home, I'm just using a spare for work)....
Could be that then?

DZ: capacitive buttons unresponsive

litterally out of the blue about 2 days ago, the 4 capacitive buttons on the front simply do not respond to touch...
and EVERYTHING else is working fine, keyboard, display, trackpad, everything else is working w/o a problem...
the lights behind the buttons come on, but no response when pressed...
its currently running Unity 1.27 (since released)
ive tried the patch via CWM to remap the keys to no avail... i am going to try and get into titanium to run a backup of apps, then wipe and flash version 1.31 of unity hoping its a software issue...
the closest thing i found to my issue (DZ related) was an issue with the light sensor causing the backlght to act up, but that isnt whats going on here, so as of now im at a total loss...
any help or direction would be greatly appreciated...
Ok, I wiped, flashed and installed 1.31 and same thing... Crap it has to be HW related then...
Ideas?

If you are sure its hardware related, then try to unroot your phone and see if you can get a replacement from your carrier.

You need to buy them and replace them. They come as a set with microphone and vibrator attached. Very cheap on ebay. Middle plate has to be separated from glass to get to them.

only reason im leaning towards HW is because i already reflashed, and wiped the phone, and they still dont respond...
only problem is,im in FL-USA, and this came from canada... lol
buttons can be bought on ebay huh?
EDIT: would this be what im looking for?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUTTON-TRAC...232?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb6a583b8
EDIT: wouldnt i be lookking at getting a digitizer? but if that were bad wouldnt i have more areas besides jus the buttons none responsive?
Can anyone help clarify the part I should be looking for?
Our even have other ideas I could test?
Thank you-

Buggy Compass

When using maps or some other app which points in the direction I'm looking toward, its always pointing about 90* clockwise.
Anyone else have this bug?
+1
I have this same problem too.
Just tests it out on my D802. Google map seemed to be working fine. The arrows does point straight towards my direction. Turning the phone left and right seemed correct too.

Could your compass have gotten magnetized? Happens on the og RAZR sometimes. The fix was to touch a magnet to the upper right corner for a second to release it. Someone found it out after looking at a device teardown.

The stock window case has a magnet in it, so if you have that on the phone it would explain your problem.

Thank you! That seems to fix it for now. I was going to return it to ATT.
