I have 3 questions - Fascinate General

I have 3 questions...first and most annoying, why does my phone seem to hit the back button on its own? I will ne reading xda (for example) and I will feel the haptic feed back and it will take me to the subforum, then to main forum, then to phone selection screen. Then I cant select my phone again I have to hit my home button an restart the xda app. It happens with all different apps, I am just on xda most of the time.lol.
Second, has anyones phone booted into safe mode? Why does this happen?
And third, do you know where the standard wallpapers are located so I can delete them? I have found the live ones and they are gone and so are thw stock tones. Thank you in advance.

1st one sounds like a hardware defect or a rogue app. You can try a hard reset (wipe of data) and see if it fixes it, but if not, you got a wonky hardware set.
2nd, there is a combination of buttons to boot into safe mode, and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that if the phone crashes a certain way, it will boot back into safe mode, but I'm not sure.
3rd, not sure, good question. I'd have to look at it, don't remember off the top of my head. Are you running stock or aosp ????

Answer to 3. Wallpapers live within the framework-res.apk You would gain nothing by going through the trouble of deleting them.
good day.

Mine does that too.. except its the menu key happens most when it is in my car dock (3rd party) tho i have power and audio running to it... wonders if it is bad hardware...

I have buttons press themselves sometimes. It's usually when there is a lot of buildup on the buttons from using. Wipe them off and the problem stops.

That sound gross, but you might be on to something. I wonder if it could be this invisable shield I have on here. I have not had this phone without it. I bought it the same day I got the phone. Hmmmm

After wiping all stock tones and live wallpapers, I freed up about 30 mb and my phone just felt less bogged down. Also pulled a higher quadrant score(not that anyone cares about quadrant) just less useless crap on my phone. Thank you for answering

framwork-res.apk is a pretty critical apk, and to bother with disassembling, editing them out, then repackaging is just not worth it, trust us.

I'm NOT whining: Lag on jp6 Froyo is real (proof)

Check my Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fds9eccI9OA
I did a FR before flashing with Kies, and after flashing. Also did a clean install of all apps and settings and a cache wipe.
maybe 50 pics, 50 mp3s and 100 apps and 4 widgets running.
This video was taken just 15 minutes after a reboot.
Do people consider this whining?
EDIT: Spend 6 minutes looking through the video. The lags gets worse and worse.
That is the worst lag I have ever seen, I understand if you are upset, for me the lag is 1-2 second pauses now and then.
Was it as bad on 2.1?
Looks bad. Anyways try getting rid of the batt app that lets you know of the batt percentage on the notifications tray. I got rid of mine and the phone is much quicker.
Good luck i feel for you buddy.

The icon is just the alarm clock.
Ending all apps does not solve much. The lag returns almost immediately.
Was this lag meant to be so, i mean is it intended to blame the phone? I'm sure this is not normal, and have never seen lag like this. Mostly its 1sec (i know many complain about this) but blink twice and it will load

Not to disparage what you're experiencing there mate but I flashed JP6 yesterday and I can honestly say so far it's been smooth sailing even without any lag-fixes, as opposed to when I was on 2.1 just prior and things were about the same as what you've got here. Did you do a TitaniumBackup restore or anything?

Hmmmm, the only thing I can think of (and this'll probably sound silly) but you might want to try without a SIM in it. I remember people with Milestones having damaged/faulty SIMs which would cause their phones to slow right down.
Also, sorry but I have to admit I got a good giggle from the fingers tapping at ~4:30 :3

It depends WHAT you are running. In your movie you say stuff like "wow, 5 apps running", but widgetlocker for instance I know slows the phone down a bit.
The number of apps means very little (I can make a computer lag by encoding a video and messing around in photoshop too). It's what you are running that matters. Maybe you should try to work out which applications are causing issues (there is a good reason why I got rid of widgetlocker though).
Anyway, this thread should be closed as a dupe. It doesn't warrant it's own thread, as you aren't a celebrity, and other people have already posted video's onto the existing threads.Your case is no more important than the others.

That's part of the problem, it probably depends on what you are running, so whatever was slowing down your phone significantly before, has probably been reinstalled..

Wasn't running anything after fresh boot. The video is from first screen taps on this freshly booted phone.
EDIT: Removing Widget Locker does not help... Tried that.
here it's unbelievable stable(jpk+oclf+4wks+120apps), guess it was a wise choice not going jp6/m.
But why are there 5 apps active? I have several active widgets but they don't show up as a regular process(es) here.. I'm sure that my phone would lagg too while running 2 games, 2 web browsers and navigational software on the background. =/
I doubt it was acting like this from flash off right?
Do you consider that the hardware may have been damaged!? You have your warranty, get another one .

Well.. That's my point.. Your apps must be doing something that is sucking up your CPU... because I'm running Messaging, Launcherpro, Jabberoid (not listed in active apps), sipdroid (not listed in active apps), and a live wallpaper. I suspect that your apps are possibly running a few things not listed in task manager.. Also, are you running custom widgets (I'm not using any, which might be adding to the jumpiness). I also only have 50 apps.
I have noticed your app list contains MANY custom widgets..
So, I suggest working out what specifically is causing your issues. But I can honestly say I don't get lag like that on my phone..

Well, the apps "running" in task manager are only the six most recent apps. I am only using 4-5 widgets on this video. I have also tried without any widgets. Same problem.

Ironically, Tapatalk runs craptastic with this build and I've found the keyboard lags the most while using it to post here.
It does seem app specific. I'm at a love hate relationship with this build.. I'm teetering on going back to 2.1 or working through 2.2's issues.

I'm thinking of doing the same. I'm not have much problems but do get a checker affect when I open up the browser.
Thank you! I just realized it was gone! Finally I can use the keyboard
What exactly is this "checker" effect I keep reading about? I somehow missed what that lingo represents.

This is not the right thread, your answer is the web browser. This occurs during pinch and zoom.

So for me even with all keyboards off and device keyboard settings off i still get some missing keys.
I believe I may have found the source to the problem though, as this problem seems to still happen even without any software keyboards. It must be in the os or driver, my issues are always with the keys that when long pressed bring up a menu choice of softkeys.
Mostly s,e, and l i notice it the most with. i.e. long press e, youll get; è é ê ë ę ě ē. If i try mupltiple eeeeeeeee presses i get this popup occosanionally as if i am long pressing and you can clearly see it misses some of the presses for e, also try mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm or ppppppppppppppppp i never have the lag issues with these as when long pressed they just repeat with not pause and popup.
I think the lag (loss of letters) is due to the OS interjection monitoring the length of keypress to determine if this prompt should be shown.
What would be great is if a developer could determine what controls this feature and strip it from the rom/kernel/driver whatever it is. I will never use this as it is only for non-english charachters anyway.
Hopefully the right person reads this and looks into it, as i feel this could be the source of our issue.

Oh wow weirdest thing... keyboard lag was still there for me when I first flashed the phone. But about 20 minutes ago I dropped my phone while in the shower (first time :O) and the keyboard got a little wet. Now my buttons don't feel "sticky" and I can type a million times faster without missing any letters. I'm so happy haha.

Pandora, duh. Haha.

can you turn the screen on without pushing power button?

title says it all; its a PITA to reach around through the case to turn the screen on all the time, and, even though the screen is supposed to come on when you push the menu key on the hardware keyboard, it doesnt work that way, at least for me..
Can anyone offer any other suggestions?
I know once I root this, there will be other choices, but, I want to learn more about the device before I root it
thanks so much for your help!
no, since xoom doesnt have soft keys so the only way to turn the screen on its to touch the power button. in other terms if you want to wake the xoom up when screen is off you need to press power button.
hopefully, some one will develop a software fix
for this; I cant be the only person that is annoyed by this..
thanks!
What's so hard about pressing the power button?
Sent from my CM7 - EVO via XDA App
if you have the motorola folio case on it, its a pain reaching through the cut out every few minutes to turn the screen on..
Idk if it works on the xoom but simply lockscreen on the market has a feature that uses the devices proximity sensor to unlock the phone, it might be just what you are looking for. Like I said, not sure about compatibility but the developer is pretty active here on xda and he might be able to figure something out.

The Xoom does not have a proximity sensor. One developer that frequents the forms and gave us all a screenshot app for the Xoom for free, has an App Killswitch which does the opposite action that you want. When you close the case, the light sensor senses the darkness and turns the screen off. It would take more battery but likewise would be possible to do it the way you wish when opening the cover. Maybe if we ask nicely, he can make it happen
well, I installed nolock, from the market, and it reduces the steps to one to get the screen on; when you push the power button, there is no lock screen to go through, which helps, but I wish there was a way to wake it up with either the keyboard, or just tapping the screen..
I'm sure this will come one of these days..
EDIT: It only works sometimes, not ready for 3.0 I guess....
It is possible but will not work until we have a deodexed ROM. The is a way to remap the volume keys to wake the screen but as soon as the keyguard kicks in the volume keys are disabled. With a deodexed ROM I can disable keyguard. An alterative option I might be able to work out is to wake the screen with a paired keyboard via blurtooth. So far in my testing this is working well.
Basically I have mapped the F1 key on my keyboard to wake/sleep the Xoom.

Try to push the below file using adb ... you need root for this to work. After rebooting the right ctrl key on the Motorola keyboard should become a power button for you. Let the screen goto sleep for a few minutes and attempt to wake it using the button. Let me know if this works.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hsqqsehpcjr812t
ADB PUSH:
adb remount
adb push Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl \system\usr\keylayout\Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl
adb reboot
Make sure you unplug the USB cable before testing. I think while it is plugged into USB keyguard is disabled.
EDIT:

I appreciate it man, but I haven't rooted the xoom yet..
I want to wait a bit, and learn it better before I do.
Even when I got my evo last june, I waited a few weeks b4 rooting to learn it beter.
thank you for the file!
This has been discussed many times on this forum.
Long story short, I agree with you, especially since I leave the xoom on a table during a meeting. My solution...I downloaded Widgetsoid2.x. Among other widgets, I have a no turn-off widget on my main page. walking into a meeting, i hit it, forcing the xoom to stay on. obviously kills the battery, but i still get two full days.
not pretty, but it works.

Posted the how-to in the dev section for Moto/Apple/Generic Bluetooth keyboards for those interested.
What is that you are doing that it is going to sleep? The easiest thing would be not to let it sleep so quick. Set the timeout to 15 minutes or something.
I guess I am still treating this like my EVO, which, doesnt get the best battery life if you leave it on too long..this thing gets awesum battery life, so I think I wll start leaving the screen on longer, until someone comes up with software that will wake it up easily..

Competition for Galaxy S II users: what annoys you most?

Competition: how many times can you lock the screen with one hand without pressing the volume button!
Winner gets a 4-am wake-up call when the battery is recharged.
The second place gets an e-mail written by my pants when the screen-lock fails to turn on, following a headset call.
Third place will get a special mod that allows you to start your audiobook player with the headset button with the screen-lock on, and the screen off (a usefull feature when your hands are not free).
Just kidding, there is no such mod, the third place gets nothing.
What annoys me the most? Appart from pressing volume button while locking screen, its the fact that all my callers are complaining that they hear echo... going to exchange the phone today...
Non of the other things bothers me... I usually sleep very hard, so 4am wakeup tone that my phone is being fully charged cannot wake me up neither my girlfriend was complaining...
I had nothing to report as nothing annoyed me till today unless when I plugged my Headphone and made a call. The Volume in a call through the headphone at even maximum level is pathetically low.But that is not the case with Earpiece or Bluetooth headset.

1. I can live with 1,5 second delay when waking up phone, but home button lag is killing me. I know, this ks because of voice command "feature", but what about users like me who will never "talk" to their phones (unless being completely drunk)?
2. The famous game freezes. I bought this phone mainly for gaming, but they are simply freezing or crashing to home screen. On all (official) currently available firmware versions. Thanks to LitePro, now i can play with no problems.
I had few more very annoying problems, but thanks again to LitePro who ironed them out. Also i had to delete most of notification sounds. No need to explain why

Every single time (see attached).
The thing that annoys me most is the same thing that annoyed me about the HD2.... whining users that complain about utterly ridiculous things on xda, opening a new thread every time they come up with some vague idea of something their phone can't do. If you want a cup of tea, BUY A TEASMAID!!!
i never hit the volume button yet i use the physical lock button
Matter of handling I suppose .oO(you're not handling it right! xD)
What annoys me is the lack of 2.3.4 update (not that I need much from it, but it feels like they're not working on it as much as on the I9000) and the lack of proper source (everyone uses the binary kernel cause the source one isnt as stable even after padding)
oh and the reason why they've hidden hw accelerated disk encryption, or the lack thereof
The fact that Driving Mode randomly turns itself on, leading to excruciating embarrassment when an incoming text or email is read out at full volume in a public place.
the wifi sharing battery drain that starts randomnly...
Lazy gits that whine and ask about the yellow triangle without even searching the threads
The stock email app, which is the only free one which works with exchange doesn't request the keyboard to bring up the spelling suggestion list - so only the samsung keyboard works with this, or using perfect keyboard and having it turned on permanently.
The stock music app hasn't been thought out well enough in that it allows you to access music bypassing the library list. This of course means using the back button never returns you to this list and they never thought to put a link in the menu to get to the music library (such a simple fix!) - solved that with player pro though
Stock SMS app not allowing you to scroll up through the messages you are replying to whilst you are replying - of course handcent gets around that.
Touchwiz launcher - can't set a different home screen, folders created in the app drawer and then dragged onto one of the home screens are now 2 seperate folders, rather than a hard link - meaning you update one, and the other also needs updating.... Thanks to Go Launcher Ex this is no longer an issue.
Tbh hardware wise it's spot on - it's just that Samsung seem to have rushed the software out.

What requests? Nobody is requesting anything buddy. We're discussing things about the phone that annoy us. If you dont like this topic, try another one.

What annoys me the most is that this phone is so nice,i can hardly seperate myself from it.

<SOLVED>[Help] Lost CRT screen-off Animation & Proximity Auto-Off

Well I just recently made the jump to Gingerbread and was really enjoying the little perk of the CRT screen animation.
Just lately though, I noticed that it had disappeared.
As well, I've been noticing that my phone does not automatically turn off when I put it up to my ear.
My first 4.5.91 flash I feel that I botched:
I had flashed Nottach's Darkside ROM (v1.3) and his Evoluer theme (v1.0) and I was trying to set up some of Droid Shogun's SwitchPro widgets and messed with a screen auto-off widget. I thought this was what caused the problem in the first flash and I eventually ended up wiping my phone (much deeper than I kinda planned, too).
I reflashed Darkside and Evoluer again and the problem reappeared. Though I remember testing the CRT & auto-off before I flashed the theme.
I just now flashed Nottach's uninstaller (found in the Evoluer thread) and it brought me back to the stock AT&T theme (no Darkside theming), but that did not solve the problem either (bring back CRT & auto off).
I'm asking a couple of questions here:
1) Is this a known problem? The animation and or Auto-off disappearing for some reason, whether it's theme flashing, flashing that particular theme (Evoluer), or something else (kernel problem, etc...)?
2) Is there something I could have done that is easily reversible (something I ticked/unticked in settings?). I will also add that I always do a little Spare Parts tinkering when first setting up my phone. Could that have altered anything?
3) What are my solutions? I could always reflash, but that is a true PITA. Help, please?
Thanks for any advice or input you guys have to offer. Also, please let me know if there's anything more I can divulge that would help in your diagnosis.
At this point,
In spare parts you most likely ticked faster window animations....put that to normal and crt anim should be back....uh not sure bout your proximity problem.

Me too bro.
Just out of curiosity, you didn't run into any other problem with spare parts, did you? I'm just kind of at a loss as to how it messed with the screen proximity off and want to make sure there aren't any other seemingly unrelated things it could break.
Also, where did you get yours? Is the Market version still being updated? I just want to make sure mine is up to date.

I'm using kens Alien ROM, its pre loaded. And no not really any problems. I Use it for compatibility mode and faster transitions, other than that I don't open it at all. I don't remember it messing with the sensor like that, I might have not noticed tho I didn't leave the fast window animations on for very long, but not so sure why it would bug out like that. Spare Parts shouldn't cause any other problems tho.
