Help!

Is there any way to check why you Dell Streak randomly reboots or shuts down. Sort of like a log of why the phone crashed. Just like you would check on a PC when its shuts down. The reason I ask is because my phone shut down on me and would not start back up until I removed the battery and placed it back then it turned on. I would like to know if an app caused this or something else. Please help

Did you do anything? 1.6 or 2.1 ?

No did nothing. The only app I added that day was streak vibrations. It stopped the vibrating of the back,home and menu buttons. I uninstalled since the power down yesterday.
Sent from my Dell Streak

I think you could install 2.1 to see what will happen if you want.

check your back plate. if the back plate is not securely put in place the phone will randomly reboot. you have to be very forceful when applying pressure to the backplate to make sure it fixs correctly

flumps is right, it's happened to me too, though the back plate doesn't have to be loose, if it flexes enough to break a contact for a moment I think that can do it.
The one time it happened to me the Streak had been in my pocket for a while (in it's leather case but still being joggled a lot) and would not switch on, I had to remove the battery to clear it.

My phone acts same way.

My phone was on a table when I suddenly saw button lights came on. I thought I had a phone call. Instead, I saw Dell logo and it started up. I have 1.6 and not rooted.
:

you can logcat it theres alogcat in the market place that will read logs. (but tends to crash for me far too often)
also you can connect it to your pc and use ddms from the android sdk

Screen shifted to the right?

Hi guys
I am the happy owner of a hacked through Galaxy Tab 10.1 3g running the latest CM9 build from Pershoot (0419) and I had a weird experience with it today.
It has a bug where sometimes the lock screen doesn't accept touches and the screen does not go entirely black (it just dimms) when I press the power button. All I have to do to fix it is force close and reboot the tab. But this time it woke up and got seriously ****ed.
While still showing the Samsung logo the entire screen suddenly shifted 1/3 to the right and stayed like that all the way into Android, through CM9 boot animation and all. All touches registered in the right places, but everything on screen was off. I shot a little video (with my GNex) so you guys can see what I am talking about:
http://youtu.be/cAeRxt36Vuw
Has anyone else experienced this? Or is it just me?
As you see in the video, it went away after a reboot...

you dont even need to do all that.
1. plug in usb
or
2. let the screen turn off, hit power once, unlock.
kernel 0425, and kernel 0426 should sort any remaining touchscreen issues.
the shifted screen is an anomaly on your specific tab for this incident.
go to droidbasement, grab 0425 kernel (will be refreshing 0426 tonight after investigating one incident so i wouldnt flash it), flash it, and youll be ok.

[Q] SOLVED!

So I've been using my Nexus for the weekend, mine only has a small screen separation, but nothing to whine about, I haven't rooted mine, because there's no reason for
I was just customizing the launcher, when I opened the recent apps window and closed an app, and IT JUST FROZE! I know I sound like a complete noob, but the screen just f**king froze, at first I could turn the screen on and off, but now it's stuck on and the only thing I can think of is waiting for the battery to run out, but that will take a while.
Is there any emergency shutdown button behind the cover instead of a removable battery?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for not searching, I'm on Tapatalk

Lol, tried holding the power button for a long time, and it rebooted the device, problem fixed and now I know how to turn off

[Q] Touchscreen Issue

So I'm here in the US, but I'm using the Korean SHV-E300L. About a week ago, my phone fell off my bed and cracked slightly, but the touch screen responded perfectly. However, last night while I was texting, I noticed the screen scrolled a little slower than normal, and I couldn't quite text as fast. Today everything was normal until a few hours ago, where the screen would seem to hang and not respond, and sometimes the notification panel would start to drop, but never fully descend. I went into developer options and turned on "Show touches" and it shows a persistent input in the upper left corner of the screen. Other than replacing the screen, is there anything software related that I can do about this?

Do you have a stock firmware or custom? If you have a custom try re-flashing it if you never had issues with it. The best way to go is if you are on stock firmware soft-reset your phone by holding the power button until it forces power off then turn it back on. If that doesn't fix your issue then your hardware is messed up.
The S4 screen is very sensitive and I hate it sometimes because the smallest air bubble on my device makes the screen go crazy touching all kinda stuff. Good luck!

Well I literally just rooted it after posting this because I needed to get some files. But it's the stock ROM, firmware, etc.

try doing a soft reset then it should help or at least im hoping so.

It hasn't worked but for some reason when the phone is in landscape it does a bit better. I'll try to do a screencap video
Also, If I just unlock the phone and let it sit, no touches register

[Q] Dragging or touch and hold not working

Hi all,
I have pretty weird problem with my rooted galaxy s4. I can't drag icons or anything. If I long press anything on desktop or any game or actually anywhere on my phone it acts like it was normal click. So in example if I try to drag browser to somewhere else on screen it opens it.
I have cleaned the screen so it shouldn't be the problem.
I removed the screen protector.
Cleaned screen again.
I flashed back to stock rom. (problem happens on cyanogenmod too)
I oiled my hands just to test if those were too dry or something like that.
I have no idea what is causing this.
It might have something to do with that when I was trying to call samsung to check if they had any ideas and when I was in their press this number if you want this menu my phone started to press buttons on its own so I ended up something like 31254665423213254 on screen. Although this was first time that I notices this kind of behaviour and I haven't been able to reproduce it so it might have been just some random event.
Does any one have any ideas at all what could fix this, Samsung does not and they won't fix my phone since it's rooted.
Edit I put the option that shows touches on screen on and it showed me tens of little balloons running on screen so there is definitely something weird going on. I have screenshot of it but I can't post it since I have too new account.

Since it happens on more roms, it's most probably a hardware issue
