[Q] Keypad stopped responding - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using google nexus4 that is not rooted. When I try to type something the keypad is not responding. It gives the message that unfortunately keypad has stopped responding. And gives the options to close it or wait. After selecting The option ok for close it takes to the next page either to report or don't send. But nothing happens after that. It is still not responding. Tried installing go keyboard but that is also not responding. Otherwise touch screen responds properly except for the keyboard. Could anyone help me in solving the problem?

Are you rooted, not rooted. You definitely need a lot more information.

Thanks for your concern. Mine was a non rooted phone that i have already mentioned,. Got it rectified. When checked the option in Settings - Apps - All - Download Manager was disabled. Once i enabled it the problem was solved. But don't know whats the relation between the keyboard and this setting.

[Fix] Disable Wireless Networks Detected Notification

Just extract the nowifinotif.exe file and copy to \Windows\StartUp on your device and perform a soft reset.
It works on my HTC Touch Pro, I'm assuming it will work for any HTC device or possible any WM6 device.
Let me how how it works, and what device your using.
Disabling the notification will work on my device, however after each soft reset they are back. This will fix that issue
This is a standard setting...unless you are trying to do something different.
Settings->Sounds/Notifications
Wireless networks in the dropdown.
Uncheck all of the notifications.
yes, i know it's a setting under notifications.
this is for all the people like myself where that setting doesn't hold. when i soft-reset my device the notifications would come back and i would have to disable it every time. I have bumped into many posts about it with no fix. this is that fix.
Gotcha, that's cool. I've never seen it not stick but that would be a crappy problem.
Nice work on the fix.

Wow for song long i have been annoyed about the wifi popup notification, i knew about the setting but assumed it did nothing, not that it worked but didnt stay
Your app works spot on, is there anyway to still have the sound alert enabled (sonar or something), but just disable the onscreen notification?
Sure
Sure here you go, it assumes you have the file \Windows\Alert-Sonar.wma
and plays that sound when a network is detected. If you don't have that file just rename or create one with that name and put it in your windows directory.
If you are still paying attention to this thread, I would appreciate advice
Hi,
I have a new HTC 6800.
I would LOVE for the file posted as the solution to work for me as I have the same problem with popping up notifications.
However when I installed the file and did a soft reset I get this message:
The program is from an unknown publisher, running it can possibly harm your device do you want to continue?
When I click "yes" I then get this message:
Unable to run the file nowifinotif the certificate is invalid
Ugh. Is there anything that I can do to get the file to run?
thanks!
Oh snap - another solution just found
OK,
Nevermind my last question - another solution was just found.
This model has a side button to turn on/off the wi-fi - who knew! Well, mobiletechreview.com, thankfully!
"don’t fret: slide the Wi-Fi slider on the left side of the Mogul to turn Wi-Fi on. "
So, I'll just turn the Wi-Fi off unless I actually want to use it, which eliminates the constant notifications. Whew.

Hi Chet,
Thank you for your solution! How does it work?
Also, any idea what causes the issue in the first place?
Thank you,
Jeff
Good idea, I've read a number of posts about this, but have assumed it was a GSM phone problem. Could anyone confirm what phones have the problem and which don't?

I don't know exactly but I've been using it myself for a while with no problems. I'm guessing it writes changes to the registry keys that control wifi notifications.
The problem is likely to be that some process is writing some other changes on each soft reset. That's my guess anyway.
How it works
Yes your correct, I don't know why it happens only what's happening and how to fix it.
When you disable the notifications under settings on your device it changes the following values under the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\Notifications\<"SOME GUID"> with the ".DEFAULT" value = to "Wireless network detected".
after you soft reset your device this registry setting gets reset for some reason.
The other values under this key are:
"Options", "AvailableOptions", and "Wave".
Options is what kind of notification is currently assigned (none, sound, popup, ect)
AvailableOption is your choices of what you could pick from
And wave is what sound will play if enabled.
My program just sets this value back at startup. I can post the source code if anybody actually wants it, but yeah I have no idea why it's happening.
Thank you, Chet. That helps me understand a little more.
no problem
Works for me
Chet,
Thanks, works for me. Small problem, but very annoying.
I've found a few other boards with this question, and I've pointed them here.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=114943&jump=true
Yeah it's an anooying bug. As a workaround I just made a .WAV file with no sound (just 1 second of silence) and assigned that one to the WLAN detecten notification. Works also
What About Other Notifications
Chet,
That was great. But I've noticed almost the same thing happens for "new email" and for "Reminders".
For both of those, I have "display message on screen" unchecked, but the phone still displays the message onscreen. However, in this case, the boxes remain unchecked after reboots.
Have you noticed that HTC's TF3D interface displays a callout box (cartoon quote) for the on screen reminders in the header, so that if I get new email and a calendar appointment, or some other reminder like an SMS or missed call, I get a "callout" box shaped notification at the top of my screen. Now, I get curious as to what the message is, so I click it. TF3D then opens their "easy icon view" screen, on which a bigger callout box is one of the buttons. I click that, and the standard MSFT tiny icons appear at the top of the screen again for "new email" and some other useless reminder like "Mtg at Johns". I need to click these tiny reminders, one at a time, then view the display message on screen, then click the soft "dismiss" button. Is this an easy way of handling reminders that I didn't want in the first place. @#$# HTC and MSFT!!
Any ideas?
This sounds great! I have a Fuze (with TAEL ROM) and this has been annoying me for a while. I suspect most people don't see it because they have wifi turned off most of the time. In my case, it's always on as I don't have a data plan

Tap on message does not open a message

Hi,
I have a strange problem with HD2 that appeared with no reason. When I tap on e-mail message from HTC Sense - nothing happens. Previously, when I tap on message, the message opens. It works on text messages, but not on e-mails. I did a hard reset, and it worked for several minutes, and then stopped again. I did not install anything.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Unless I'm mistaken, this is a known problem that (strangely) ties in to the lock screen not working properly. Go figure!
Open the windows start menu and select lock (bottom left softkey). Then unlock the phone. Once you've done that, you should be able to open email messages by tapping on them in the Sense UI.
There's a tweak in BsB Tweaks that is supposed to fix the lock screen issue, but it hasn't 100% fixed it for me. I just get it less. When I do, I do what I just suggested to you and it's okay again.
I'm sure that HTC will want to fix this at some point. Wait for the 4.01 ROM for that. (That was a joke - don't actually wait for the 4.01 ROM)
Thanks man, I just tried and it works! Yes, I have noticed that HD2 does not lock every time, but I didn't know that it has anything to do with this problem. Thanks again!

Glad you sorted it mate

Accessing E-mail from the email tab

Hi All.. Hoping someone can help me here... When tabbing across to to the email tab, I am sure I used to be able to just tap the message being displayed and it would then display the details just as if you were to tap on it from the inbox list. Can anyone concur if this is possible?
You've got a poo old ROM on your phone. Go to start and select Lock (bottom menu). Then unlock your device and the problem will have gone.
Sometimes, the lockscreen will not appear when the screen is turned off (either by you or by a timeout). You do the same thing to turn that back on again too.
These 2 issues are linked, which is a bit weird, but they're well old problems and have been fixed in newer ROMs.
Just out of curiosity, what ROM are you running?
Still no Good

Unable to install apps from unknown sources

Does anyone have the problem of being unable to install apps from sources other than the play store? For example, atm I'm trying to update 'Lucky Patcher' and the request for me to install the update which also shows the permissions the app is requesting but I can't actually press on the Install button. I can still press on the show all button and cancel button as well as the touchscreen keys at the bottom but just cant press on the Install button.
I was able to install unknown source apps before however, it just doesnt work now.
How do i fix this?
Is your unknown sources box still checked?

Yeah, double checked that. This has happened to me a few times now...
Edit: NVM! found the problem, was screen filter.
Just a heads up. No warez allowed on these forums...

Please explain how you did it. After a lot of searching on my own I found someone's advice to set the brightness to max and disable any screen dimming apps (which I have none installed, bought the device a month ago) and I still can't install apk files. Mind you the appropriate setting to allow unknown sources is set. The Install button just doesn't react exactly as you described. Everything else on the popup window is active (permissions and such). Please help!
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I had this problem 2 months back. It turned out that the screen filter app that I was using was leading to this. I turned the app off and it worked
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I sat down and killed all the apps one by one. It turned out Battery Mix's battery bar (1px battery level indicator on the very top of the screen) was causing this behaviour. I will report this to the dev. So problem solved! :good:
Yeah, for my Nexus 4 the culprit was Juice Defender's brightness control. Disabled that and was able to install the apk I wanted to install. The developer does warn that this setting "might not work or cause problems".
Thank You All!!!!
Once again I was quickly able to solve my problem with a quick search on your forums!! Thank you all for giving such great advice. My problem with not being able to press the install button ended up being the "Twilight" App. Simple to temp disable/enable so not a big deal to me. I'm also going to let them know over at Twilight so hopefully a future update will solve this problem.
Thanks!!

[Q] CM10 problem with the dialer

Hi,
I have a problem with CM10. Everytime that I want to access the option menu of the dialer, this one force closes stating "com.android.phone has stopped". and when I press ok, it goes back to the pin code screen. I'd also like to mention that the dialer takes more than one second to open up.
My kernel is 2.6.32.9-g79d818c. I had also this problem coming from stock gb french.
I have already tried wiping cache, dalvik and even fixing permissions. Am I the only one with this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks for reading.

Pin code screen? Have you tried disabling the pin?
I have just tried your suggestion. But I still have the FC of the dialer when I go into its settings. The difference is that the phone disconnects and reconnect without asking for the pin. So it did not solve the problem. Thanks anyway
By the way, apart form this everything works pretty fine. I can call, receive call, send sms + many other smartphone stuff of course...
