hi, im perm rooted with s=off and a clockwork recovery, when ever i default a launcher with the app "home switcher" it never sticks. i was wondering if anyone else has the same problem
Home switcher says right in the download that it doesn't work with Froyo... however, it does work with some ROMS better than others as I've been playing with on my Evo for about 4 months. Sometimes it acts just like you describe. Sometimes it lets me actually stick with a default. Blame the author... he isn't updating it.
Oh wow thanks I didn't even see that lol but yeah I switched to homeshack and it works!

Actually, it does work with Froyo even though it says that in the Market (that's probably the official line, so we can't ***** about it). If you read comments & online there are plenty confirmed working w/Froyo.
I had it on my MT4G and it worked fine until I permrooted w/S=OFF. Now any time the phone restarts I have to choose the default launcher again.
So, OP is correct, but since it's officially not supported... Glad you found an alternative.
oops didnt refresh page before posting
Fyi, I've tried Home Manager and it doesn't stick either.

Home Switcher has an app made for Froyo (HomeSwitcher for Froyo) I use it and it works very good. There is an added step to take before it sticks but it never fails.
Why do you need a home switcher? Its not hard to change defaults through your settings.

they have really improved the power button on DHD over the Desire...Ive had my Desire button replaced already...because its not flushed and the design means that it protrudes a little out from the body slightly, feels flimsy after a few months...DHD feels much better, I think its because of the internal design...
to open screen you can use tap tap app and to close it use screen off app. in this way you can protect your power button.
Yea I used that tap tap app just brush ya finger over sensor on the top right hand corner and it works really like it personally

Hmm, I haven't used this before, but I'm liking the sound of it. There are quite a lot of apps that don't work yet on Gingerbread, I don't know of any alternatives, but it's likely the developer will eventually get an update out for Gingerbread devices
I have no problem with my power button being too flush. It works fine how it is
Hi I found 2 apps worth mentioning
1 AnyUnLock
2 ScreenOff
I use AnyLock my self to unlock the screen. Using Volum Up/Down buttons. Better than Power button I guess

Hey, i like AnyUnlock, but it seams to kill my security pattern, is there any program that lets you use the volume keys, AND makes you do your pattern?
Tap Tap App, is good, but it reduces power life
Is there anything else on the market?

The problem with tap tap app you comsume battery quickly since sensor is on all the time. no?
Hi,
My phone is self waking up when I logo the screen all the time. I think it got some water in it, ( something small, because the rest is all working good ) .
So, I would like to know if thete is some sort of sensor or something inside the phone that makes it wake up on lock screen ....
Thanks

Wrong section.
is your phone rooted? if it is then you need to fix persmissions on the recovery menu.

Waste of a post, if that's all you were gonna say why post anything at all.
Anyways, to answer the OP, are you running a custom ROM by any chance? Also only thing I can think of is the sensor waking up the phone... But that can't be it. If you're on stock ROM then go ahead and do a factory reset and see if problem still persists.
Hi,
Sorry. I was on custom Rom ( fusion 118) . I did load my stock back up Rom and same thing happens.
I know the only way u can wake up the phone when it has the screen locked is with the power button and the action button. I thought that the buttons could he stuck cause of some water, but no, they don't do any action whrj I'm running any application. So, I believe that the phone has to has some of sensor that activates the screen whn u hit power or action key....
Any idea ?

I'm noticing sometimes I have to lock and unlock the phone to get the touch screen to respond, although if I press a little firmer it usually registers.
I'm currently running cm7 and have not returned to stock to test. My next step is a full fastboot wipe and reflash cm7 to see if it goes away and if that doesn't fix it then I'll return to stock with S-ON and the whole 9 yards.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Yes, but I only notice it while typing. Most often my delete key becomes nonfunctional, as well as other letters like O and several other vowels. VERY ANNOYING. It's happened to me on every ROM except Royal Ginger for some reason. So I'm baffled. Here comes yet ANOTHER call from T-Mobile for another warranty exchange.
I hate this phone.
This is starting to sound like the next big issue for the MT4G. First bad displays, then loud buttons, then backlight leakage, then off-centered cameras, then bad eMMC chips, and now unresponsive touchscreens. This is incredible. I've never heard of any single electronics device model with so many problems. HTC really screwed up with the MT4G. I wonder if it has something to do with T-Mobile being considered the "budget" national carrier when compared to the other big three.

Yeah, but I guess HTC does have a bad track record for their quality control. All the more reason I want a Samsung, seems like they don't have much trouble with hardware defects, just software.

My keyboard does not vibrate so that's not my issue, but nice catch.
On a hunch I switched to HTC IME mod and so far the problem hasn't resurfaced.
I'm thinking its the keyboard, maybe just have to clear data for android keyboard in apps settings?
If anyone wants a link to jonasl's HTC IME mod keyboard, let me know.

Those are the EXACT same spots I'm having unresponsive spots. I have to lock and unlock the screen to get them back. I feel like just going for a Senation and be done.

I'm having this same exact problem. I thought it was only me. The backspace key just randomly stops working. And the same with the O key. And I thought I got one of the good phones :/.
I've had problems with the pin unlock on cm7 sometimes the number 2 doesn't respond.

I think this is software based. I prefer the Android Keyboard found in the market... on some roms it works PERFECT! On others, the whole top row of keys just craps out. I need to hit the character I want three or four times to get it to go. Yet on those same roms, stock keyboard, or ?Better keyboard 8 work flawlessly.

OK so I am new to the mt4g... I currently use a sgs4g, the rest of my family uses the mt4g and they live in Indiana while I live in Texas. I followed the guides to get the phone rooted with s-off. I installed the cwm from rom manager becuz I could not find an up to date thread. Anyways when I reboot in to cwm it seems to work fine except when I try to go into a submenu it just gives me a blank screen with no text. I was going to do a nandroid back up but this is not possible without getting into the submenus of cwm. I then tried rom manager to flash virtuous unity and it worked perfectly. I am unsure of what is going on exactly but I am afraid that if the phone happens to soft brick I will not be able to get back into recovery or even if I do I cannot flash anything or be able to unbrick the phone. I am not nooby I have been working with android for a while now and have soft bricked my sgs4g many times while learning. Almost hard bricked due to wrong bootloaders. Anyways one thing I left out is if I try to click the power button while I am in one of the blank submenus it just goes back to the main menu.
Any help would be very much appreciated and also I do not have a usable computer ATM so everything I do is with my phone or someone else's.
Thanks guys for all the fantastic threads for the mt4g, it only took me about 2hrs to get s-off and roms installed, minus the 4 hrs it took me to realize that only the final s-off method works on the 0.86.0000 bootloaders.
Again thank you.

Are you hitting the power button? If so, you need to click the track pad to select a sub menu in recovery. This happened to me as well until I tried the track pad and it works flawlessly!!!!
Try using the track pad to select your option... Sounds like you are using the power button to make selections in recovery which just puts the phone to sleep, so to speak...

Oh I didn't think to try that because I'm not use to having a trackpad. Thank you for your help.
