My back button on the screen has a mind of its own and activates when it pleases. Backing me out of programs, music, etc. I just want to disable the touch back button. Or all for that mattter I use the physical keyboard in landscape mode 95% of the time.. Is this possible??

I had the same issue. I had to shut the phone down and pull the battery for a minute. Someone said to do it with a full battery which I did but don't know if that makes a difference.

has there been an app or something that can enable the led screen to light up when you have an incoming text or voice mail or something? Thanks

I don't like that for two reasons. Firstly, there are big intervals between the flashes, so you can't just quickly take your phone out of the case to check you haven't missed something, then put it back. You have to look at it for about 10 seconds.
Secondly, the trackpad is at the bottom. My phone is in a vertical pouch, and by using Led Me Know I can pull just the top of the phone up and instantly see if the LED is flashing or not (ok yes, I know I could put the phone in upside down lol).

I've noticed quirks like that on almost every phone I've owned. It doesn't do it every time though, and doesn't seem to matter where on the phone your hand is.
All devices without a physical antenna do this. Which is almost every phone now a days. All my phones done this.
Try this, hold your device sideways in landscape mode wrapping your index finger along the side, right on top of the ear speaker. You'll see your bars increase.

I had never had the IPhone issue with a phone until I owned an Iphone....and then I owned a mytouch 4g and my wi-fi signal would drop depending on how i held it....
But nothing too bad

Actually, nothing is as bad as the iphone antenna. My friends iphone was horrible on that.
Yea, the mytouch is not so bad. I'm usually always holding my phone in landscape which is how it gets the best reception, so its all good.

I think every phone does
My wifi signal even loses a few bars for some reason when I do, and the router is ~20ft away without any walls
EDIT:
****, wrong forum.. sorry!!
I know A LOT of people know this.. you can slide your finger accross the notification bar to set the screen brightness when auto brightness is turned off.
Well something I found out today.. you don't slide at all.. you can.. but you just got to pick a spot on the notification bar and long press. So you want it at 50%, long press in the middle.
This is a lot better too... more sensitive.

I knew both!
Just now. I was on xda app and suddenly the screen started having a titty attack (its happened numerous times before on froyo)
i wasnt worried cuz i figured my processor was just being overworked so i downclocked it to 400mhz.
Usually this happens in miren or dolphin. Then it clicked. It MUST BE ALL THE ENERGY BEING USED TO RENDER THE WHITE! cuz i always use my [phone at or near max brightness....
the thing was, i lowered the brightness and it stopped, but then it just shut off....i had to unplug it and plug it back in for the charger to even start charging it again.
So my question...is the screen dying (which means it has been for a while.) or is the processor dying (which means it has been for a while lol)
just wonderin are you using a stock battery or a cheapy from ebay? i had this happen too, and it turned out to be neither the screen or the core. it was only happening when i was using my aftermarket chinese battery.
im using stock battery
maybe its not getting enough juice anymore? i do plug my phone into things alot...lol

I had a screen crap out on me. I had similar symptoms leading up to it. The next thing that happened was the touchscreen became unresponsive unless keyboard was open. Then it stopped altogether. Thank goodness for my insurance because it did die. When I took it to a Repair store they had to open a new one to replace it because it is not a common issue.

How bad is it, I know we can all experience the screen f'ing up just by raising the brightness all the way and go to settings>display>and uncheck power save mode then go to any screen that is white. Its a problem with the super amoled.
But if you have the power save mode thing checked I think ur f'ed

This has happened go me before. But it was because I was trying to flash roms over a custom stock rom and I didn't know. I suggest you Odin back to stock. Leave it for a week or 2.

Similar experience but usually only when under 10-15% battery left and full brightness. The screen just can't draw enough current I guess.

Ohhhh, well that's interesting. Because if you OC or if your phone heats up enough data corrupts and your screen spazzes out. But I wonder if weather could play an affect towards that.

Anyone else know about this? Was wondering why my brightness was changing when holding the phone to my ear....
I was initially thinking it was a proximeter sensor, but nope. Its a slider built into the notification bar. Press and hold at the left of the bar and while keeping your finger held to the bar, move to the right. And ofcourse left to turn it down.
Not really crazy about this feature really. Wish I could disable it.

Doesn't work if you have auto brightness enabled.

can save some battery by turning auto brightness off and use the slider to adjust the brightness.
I dig it too. It saves time & frustration when you're out in the sun, step into a building & are all blinded by the sunlight, to the point where you can't navigate through menus. Just hold the notification, sliiiide & bam.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a TouchWiz thing? Or possibly Samsung? My wife has a lower-end Samsung (don't remember, but it's one of the Virgin Mobile ones), and it doesn't have this feature.
When you hold your phone close to your ear while in a phone call, the proximity sensor turns the screen off, so your ear touching the screen would not be changing the brightness. If auto brightness is enabled, it's really touchy and will change brightness rather quickly.
It works without sliding all you have to do is hold it on the left and it dims and if you hold it on the right it brightens

+1. Auto-brightness is also a battery killer. Learn to embrace the slide feature.
How do you enable it in CM7? I thought this was touch wiz. I miss the feature when running the

If you hold it from the corners it only maxes the brightness or lowers the brightness to the lowest setting. When sliding you can control how bright you want your screen.
