After upgrading to 2.3 I used my hands free BT device and noticed a new icon that looks like an ear with a couple curved lines next no it. In thought it was a head set icon but it is still on even tough i have left the car. Tried turning off phone and taking the battery out but it still is on. Thoughts?
sounds like the hearing aid icon, its a setting under settings/call/hearing aids.. that's my guess
Good guess. That was it ..thanks.

Im under my 30 days so I've takin my phone back twice already for a new one. The first on was a 0004 the second was a 0003 and now I have a 0004 again. It seems like the 0004s are a little snappier when launching apps and navigating through the general UI itself. Or am I just hallucinating. I'll tell you something else! When you first get the phone its set to vibrate when you touch the soft keys and the keyboard. The 0003 vibrated a lot more when you hit the keys which I didn't like. The 0004 is more faint vibration. I'll be trading thus guy in for a new one again this week because the screen is lifting already straight out of the box

WoW! So many in 30 days, what do they say when you take it in? I have one thats under the 30 and has one stuck pixel, I had decided to just keep it (0003) but if its really that easy, why now, lol. Do you get a fresh set of 30 days when you get the new one???
No my 30 days is up the 25th

I just dont see how you could possibly get 4 bad phones.
I got mine on the first day it was released and the only thing I see is are to spots I think from dabbing my finger on the screen lol
But I think I can live with it

I've had all three hardware revisions and I've noticed the same things so it's not just you.

When I push down on the bottom .left corner of the screen I can watch it pill back up. From what I've read around the internet it only gets worse and to take it back if you can. Maybe radio shack is getting crap phones who knows. All I know is that I'm under my thirty days and its worth another try to get one that is exceptible in my eyes. It's not exceptible for a screen to be separating from the phone itself right outta the box. There are standards to be upheld.

I agree, I would not settle for a screen separating at all! I am gonna keep my phone with the one stuck pixel though. To much to do, setting phone up and all for just one pixel. My luck the replacement would have 2 stuck pixels! lol
Good Luck

Lol I set my phone up multiple times per week.

That is the problem with the Evo I'm on my fourth since September and I finally got one with no screen separation but it makes so many like cracking noises when you put some pressure on it.
Htc needs to step it up

I took my first one back right after my 30 days because the usb port was falling apart. Two weeks later, I took the second one back because the software was bugging out & the phone wouldn't boot. Neither were rooted & I have insurance, so it was super easy and free. I got this one, rooted it, and that was in December & I've had no problems.
I agree about the haptic feedback on the 003s. I hate it, it feels like a toy or something. I dial it down to barely noticeable in CM Settings, but the 004s still feel smother.
Today I plugged my epic into the car jack to listen to music on my way home. When I unplugged everything seemed fine, but the first call I got had no sound. I called my wifes phone to test and same thing, and she couldn't hear me either. I also noticed I lost all screen tap sounds, but my ringtones still made noise. So I tried to reflash the ROM I was on and it didn't help. So I odin'd to DI18, and it didn't work. So I went to sprint, bone stock and let them try to fix it, only to watch them fail as well. So I walked out of Sprint wth a new Epic on order, ad noticed that the sound screen taps would work and then just stop again. I got home and looked in the 3.5 mm hole and found smashed down lint was stuck inside. I used a small needle to remove the lint and what do you know, I am an idiot. Hope this helps someone out there.

Had that issue repeatedly with all 3 palm pre's I had. I really wish they would start putting those little rubber doors over that port like they use to.

I was suprised sprint didnt catch it while I was there. The assumed it was a software issue related to bad EC05 update. Whatever, I got a couple of dings on this one, i'll take a clean for free.

Luckily the epic hardware is a lot less flaky than the pre. The first replacement pre developed a crack in the side panel after about 3 days of light use. Make sure to give your replacement a good look over before you leave the store, if you catch any problems there you will likely be able to get a new in box phone.

Yesterday I noticed that none of the sound for the media was working but the notification sounds still worked. It had been dropped recently and part of the back had popped out. I snapped it back in easily and after that is when I noticed it. But I hadn't been using it before the drop to know if it was some other reason. Seemed weird that the notification sounds worked and nothing else did so I thought maybe it was something software related. A conflict of some kind. ( someone has been downloading crap on my tab like crazy) I did a wipe and reflashed the redemption ROM I was running and still no media sounds. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to pull it apart and take a look at this point unless someone else has any better advice or has had this problem too.

You may have already tried this but are all the sound volume bars positioned correctly?
Yea. One of the first things i looked at

Hi guys...Just bought a N7 for my GF as a X-Mas gift and while it's great when working, there is a major touchscreen issue going on.
Let me first say I have searched and searched and came up with a lot, unfortunately it seems the problem was "fixed" by google with official updates. Well not in this case. I am on latest 4.2.1.
The issue is, the touchscreen will completely rearrange itself somehow. Example- if you click on something in the upper end it will click something randomly at the bottom of the screen. Another issue it, if you click on search/browser address bar and start typing, there is a ton of lag , and any number of things happen like, again, something else will get pressed at the bottom, or it will do nothing, and then suddenly start hitting a key (again, with the keyboard popped up at the bottom) like x over and over again, filling the page with 10-20 X's...
As soon as I put it to sleep and wake it up/unlock...it immediately goes away, just to come right back in a few minutes.
She does have a case on it with a magnet to auto wake, so I told her to take it off and see if it keeps doing it. It does...so no go there...
I want to call google for support, but am scared of getting a dumb rep that will tell me to power off the device etc...you know the drill...by the book pre-written crap they tell you to do, that solves nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated...and again sorry if this is something well known and simple to fix, but again, all my research dates back to june posts about issues already fixed via updates.
Thanks in advance!
Have you already tried a factory reset as after most recent update? You will lose all data but worth a shot. May need to RMA.

Factory reset...ok for a while..then it started again...
Got it all figured out tho....if you ever so slightly twist the body to the left the screen will not respond at the bottom and will start pressing itself randomly....sometimes even touching the bezel will do something. ..then twist it a bit to the right and all is well...
Sh*t built product obviously. Had it in a case before even turning it on.
Going back...hopefully replacement will be better.

Ahh. You got the floating screen issue. Asus knows of it and will fix it.

It's definitely not a battery issue, but it bothers me whenever the slightest tap sets off the clock popup. I don't think it's a case issue since I use a light-weight one (Poetic slim case). I would like to think that the context-processor responds to the disruption in the magnetic field which is why it's so sensitive. I can't test this though.....Does anyone happen to have a flip cover for the Moto X?
I use an app called uListen so I can stream YouTube videos with my screen off. I've noticed that app makes the active display go nuts.

It acts when the phone moves simulating you picking it up. When I'm on my recliner it activates every time I move in the recliner. It does what it is meant to do I like it for checking the time and not having to activate the phone.

Turn the phone over so the screen is facing down. Problem solved.
I love it. I pick the phone up and just swipe to wake. Then with a Nova Launcher gesture (swipe up to toggle Quick Settings) and a custom Sleep tile in the bottom right thanks to GravityBox, I've probably cut my mashing on the power button by probably 95%. I barely have to touch it anymore.
I love the active display but it does annoy me when I'm driving. I stick it in the cup holder and every time the truck moves, the screen turns on and I can see it out of the corner of my eye. And I don't know if anyone else lives in PA, but trying to avoid the potholes and inevitably hitting one keeps the screen on almost the entire time...
I also found I now pick up my Nexus 7 expecting the screen to turn on automatically

Hahaha, I've done the same with my Galaxy Nexus and even my wife's Razr Maxx.
PA here too... and the potholes have become unbearable.
I really like the sensitivity... I think its great that it will pop on virtually anytime I move the phone, but not to the point of wasting my battery. I swear there have been times where I could just wave my hand over the phone and it would flick the time and lock up, but maybe it was just in my head.
I hear ya all on the Nexus 7 deal, I do the same from time to time, just expect it to turn on. Would be something easy for Google to add moving forward though.

Well that just defeats the purpose of the active display
But mine is very sensitive as well. Even when there is no movement I will see it go on . Doesn't really bother me. Only when I use another phone...I end up shaking the phone to get the active display to show

Do you Assist app for driving? I've noticed that after I'm driving for a couple minutes the phone must turn down the active notifications as it won't turn on with little bumps. Sometimes it won't even turn on when I pick it up.
But sitting in my house, it'll turn on every time I bump it.
Cover the proximity sensor and it'll assume it's face down or in your pocket.
The proximity sensor is on ALL the time, and it is used in conjunction with the accelerometer to turn on the screen. If you don't want it to turn on in certain situations, do the above.
I cover it with my microfiber screen wiping cloth sometimes when I want it face up but without AN.
