When I flash DK28, I get to the home screen and screw around for a little bit and it vibrates, i think... ahh thats normal, something crashed. but a few seconds later I get another few vibrations and the screen turns off(or shows black?, but the 4 buttons on the bottom are still lit.) , shortly after I'm back where I was when you boot the phone, the arrow for unlocking and the desert rock background and it keep going over and over.
It only seems happy on di18, one quirk i hjave noticed is on dk28 the red light doesnt go on while its turning on.
Any ideas guys?
DK28 is deprecated and unsupported. Switch to EB13.
wahoa thats not a very helpful posting
The tar of DK28 is borked, but flashing to DI18 and then using the update.zip to DK28 works. Although this information is pointless to you since you went to EB13 already.

I've been getting very strange/unwanted touchscreen issues for a while now. It seems to happen randomly and for hours at a time. When I press the power button to wake the phone and turn the screen on, I can't even drag the unlock slider to unlock the phone. It takes numerous wake/sleep power button presses until I can get the screen to respond to my finger. Sometimes I'll be typing and it will go crazy and highlight buttons back and forth quickly, usually two or three letters almost always off to the left side of the screen. When this happens I am unable to get it to stop or register any other screen presses. I have to press the power button and then press it again to wake it and I'm stuck at the unlockable lock screen. Only after repeated attempts does it finally get through and the problem will go away for a while, only to come back later.
I have used the program 'Dotty' to track the touch points and I noticed that it will sometimes show a multicolored touch point off to the left of the screen and it will jump around, and it won't detect any other new touch points.
Soooo I think my screen touch sensor is messed up somehow. Does anyone else have this happen? Seems to have started when I flashed the kernel to get rid of the 30 fps cap. I have recently flashed Fresh 3.1.0.1 and still have this problem, different kernel with that rom correct? I'll try to get a video up sometime to show this in action...
Yes, I've been having the exact same issue. I even did a hard reset, with the assumption that it was an app. My plan was to add them back slowly until I got the issue, the problem was it happened as soon as the phone rebooted on the reflash. I have no idea what the issue is, but its very frustrating.
I'm running 2.2 stock...
Some people have reported touch screen problems with netarchy's kernel. There is usually a revision to correct this problem for people who are experiencing it. I suggest you carefully read over the OP in that thread and determine what kernel is right for you. There is usually a version specifically for Fresh users also.
MIGHT i ask what widgets are you running??
i talked about it before when running the pre-official ota rom.
it was my htc music widget (half sized one) i had running on the home screen.. caused lag like a mofo, couldnt swipe most of the time, capacitive buttons wouldnt react, pressing the app drawer button wouldnt respond till 5 seconds later...
AS A MATTER OF FACT.
im running fresh 3.1.0.1 + latest kernel + music widget on home screen.. LAAAGGG like before. removing it makes things snappier again.
YEP. Its happening again.
when i ran the STOCK Official rooted rom, with music widget on home screen didnt produce this lag and poor touch input, even with kernel it didnt produce this problem.
Mine is fine, no screen problems!!! stock rooted rom!!
I updated my phone manually through Mini Kies.
Before the update with or without OCLF applied, the phone would never freeze. Since I've applied the update the day before yesterday, the phone has locked up three times. Basically what happens is, the screen will, well, freeze, and my button presses do absolutely nothing, I hit the back button- phone vibrates, does nothing, same with home button. To power it off I either hold the power button for 5-10 seconds, I have not yet had to pull the battery. HOWEVER. This last time it froze, I powered down the device but the phone would not turn back on. I pulled the battery from the phone and inserted it back in and after doing so my phone powered back on with no problem. It's a bit concerning though. Probably the worst thing about all of this is the fact that my phone runs great! Fast and responsive, GPS seems to be spot on. Except about once a day since the update, it freezes.
Any ideas? I have no experience with modding/flashing anything so I get really nervous with things like installing custom roms. I was thinking I could roll back the update and then re-do the update. I doubt I'd get the update OTA though, I updated my girls device OTA and she has had no problems so far.
I was even considering flashing Bionix, but again, very nervous to do so. I even had trouble just creating a nandroid backup! I couldn't get into clockwork recovery to do so.
Can anyone just baby me with this? Tell me where to start?
Thanks :/
I would suggest you flash back to stock firmware using Odin.
Go into the Development section and look at the directory sticky. There is a link in there for a thread on how to go back to stock firmware.
Once you flashed back to stock, i suggest using it on stock for a day or two to make sure the phone work correctly. Once you verified the phone working then try to update to JI6 again via Kies mini.
Other than that you can start to mess around with flashing different custom firmware and mods. It hard to brick the phone since you can always go into download mode and odin back to stock.
Be adventurous! Good luck!
would you suggest that I go back to stock before trying to flash bionix?

You should go to JFD then to JI6. Freezing isn't normal, I don't have any freezing. If it was randomly freezing there would have been a 10 page thread on it already.
I've also had it freeze twice on me. Went from rooted Stock to JI6 using Odin. /shrug
Same issue after applying JI6 OTA. I unrooted before applying the OTA, but have now reapplied OCLF with stock.
Same issue. Frozen hard twice. Browser exits randomly. Battery drains about twice as fast as before JI6.
I went from fresh Stock to JI6 via Odin. I don't know if I can wait for Froyo. I may just go back to stock again, even with the broken GPS.
I bet the OP has a bunch of apps installed.
A lot of people are blaming the update, but I'm almost sure there are many rogue apps in the marketplace, because last night I was getting freezes and after I uninstalled all the apps I don't actually need (or use very frequently) all of the freezing just stopped. The phone runs smoothly now. And removing those apps + removing the Task Manager widget from one of my screens increased my battery life by ~200%.
I installed BioNix 1.9.1 (with JI6) and I'm still getting occasional freezes, but I'm wondering if they are due to Angry Birds which I installed at the same time as my original JI6 OTA update. I'm seeing some reports (forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid/38906-freezes-weird-stuff-angry-birds.html) , but I have no idea if this is a valid idea.
Anyone else seeing freezes with JI6, but not angry birds?
I've also been having freezing problems, and I think they're GPS related.
The last time was last Friday. I was driving down to Washington DC using my phone for turn-by-turn navigation, and it froze about 1/3 of the way there. I had to pull the battery out to restart. When I got to my destination, I was using Maps and then the browser, and while the GPS icon was on the notification bar, telling me it was trying to find my position, my phone froze again. Again, I had to pull the battery out. Both happened within around a 1.5-2 hour period. I realized it may be due to the GPS, so I turned off GPS right away. It's now Monday afternoon and my phone hasn't frozen since.
So I flashed DK28 this morning and have run into a major issue. Everything works wonderfully for a while it seems. But it the screen shuts off for approximately fifteen minutes or more, the phone seems to become totally unresponsive. The power button does not wake it and when I slide open the keyboard, nothing seems to happen (phone doesn't lock and keyboard backlight doesn't light up). I'm forced to do a battery pull and reboot.
I have never experienced this with any other version of the Froyo or Eclair ROMs. I've tried both wiping and reflashing (both the DK28 modem and ROM).
Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know why this might be?
So i was on DK28, but i reflashed back to DI18 and now to DG27 (i needed to fix my gps for work).
since i re flashed back, now when ever i make a phone call the screen just turns completely off and there's no way to turn it back on without removing the battery.
how can i fix this?
Sounds like something got borked when you flashed.
There isn't any setting that I know of that you can change to fix this.
Try to Odin back to DI18 again, that'll probably clear it up.
Ok, so my phone will not vibrate at ALL anymore. I don't want to pay the $50 to get a new one, and I don't want to have to revert back to stock and unroot and take it to Verizon to see if they can fix it.
So here's the details of what happened. I don't know if it's fixable, but I thought I'd see if anyone could offer some advice.
I was running DL30 Blackhole, very basic. Had a theme installed over it. Everything was running perfectly fine for a while. And then I was getting on the internet to do something, and connected to wifi. The wifi was through my college, so you had to login on their homepage instead of just entering a password, and the page wasn't coming up, internet was being extremely slow. So I tried turning off mobile data to see if it might force me to login to the page for wifi. Turned of 3G. Nothing happened. Turned off wifi. Turned 3g back on. Then I got a google system force close error and my phone rebooted itself.... Now I have no vibration AT ALL. No hatic feedback, no vibration for notifications. Nothing.
There was nothing even related to vibration that should have happened in this situation, my phone just freaked out. Didn't drop it or hit it on anything at all, it was laying flat on a table. So I don't know if something just fried my phone's vibration or what, but I would love it if someone out there had a suggestion for me.
I'd try just following the steps to update to super clean 2.4. some kernels act up on your version and drop the vibration. It happened to me. 2.4 is running awesome

Yeah I forgot to put that in the first post. I actual did a complete system wipe. Back to stock DL09, flashed the EB01 modem, and SC 2.4 over it. And still no vibration. I did all that this morning.
Also had a weird glitch where after I installed most of my apps I tried to boot into recovery and instead my phone decided to do a data wipe again, but that wasn't a HUGE issue (as long as it doesn't happen again).

Try reverting back to stock again and prior to going back up to eb01 and superclean...wipe a few times.
I had a similar issue

I had a similar issue. I actually flashed my phone all the way back to stock. Still no vibrate. I think there could be an issue with the vibrate motor on the fascinate.
I say that because there was nothing I could do to bring vibrate back. All of sudden, it began working again for one day. After that one day vibrate and haptic working, it stopped working for another couple of days. Then, I dropped the phone on accident. Vibrate came back. Eventually, it stopped working again so I took the phone to verizon and they ordered me a new one.. No charge. I bought my phone in Sept 2010.
Good Luck!
