I could be off, but it's possible you have an issue with you screen. To try and rule out software, you might run mike1986's superwipe script and reflash. If you're still having the issue after that it's almost assuredly hardware.

Rom Manager issue

So I rooted today.
I installed Rom Manager and was going to flash the segmented battery mod onto my stock rom.
I run Rom Manager...boot into recovery...it gives me the usual options...i choose to install from zip on sd...and then it goes to black screen and just sits.
I pull the battery and try it again...now this time trying to clear cache...same thing...black screen and just sits.
Does anyone know what's happening with it? And what should I do?

I would try wiping and re-flashing the ROM from recovery. If that doesn't work, try wiping rotate stats from recovery.
Which launcher are you using?
If you are using ADW I think there is a setting in the ADW settings that is something like System Persistent. If that is checked the phone wont rotate.
Can't remember for sure but I would have a look.

He can check but normally that option doesn't stop the phone from rotating inside apps.

I think that perhaps you have more important issues to deal with instead of the orientation for your device. If you keep posting threads in such a manner people won't take you seriously. Like myself. Good luck to you.

Self wake up....

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
Daniel

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 ?

Is anyone else starting to experience touchscreen issues?

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.

I had the same problem until I made the keyboard not vibrate.

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.

I thought I was the only one experiencing these issues, I see them in some apps to. But that might just be lag on my end though.

After a full fastboot wipe and reflash I'm still seeing touchscreen issues.
Will restore to stock via pd15img.zip and if it still happens I'll warranty it AGAIN.

There's a touchscreen fix in the development section. Install the apk there and follow the instructions.
Ok thank u will download now, by the way, does upgrading the firmware get rid of this issue or is it handset related?

In fact it's a feature for better differentiate simple clicks from scrollings, so Samsung will probably have it in all his firmwares, and you'll have to install the fix on every wipe(it isn't permanent).
Well ive tried it and it still feels the same, quite juttery on homescreens??
App drawer and menu is fine its just a prob with the homescreen being juttery.

Try setting it to 5 instead of 0. See if that makes a difference
