As the title indicates, my Desire search key's tactile feedback does not feel as strong as the others. It's more mushy than anything.
I'd like to know if it's just my device, because it just doesn't feel right.

same here, but it works fine.
Mines fine. It seems to snap back and perhaps has more travel but it's certainly not mushy.
It's very rarely used anyway.
Hrmm, well mine does not have the clickiness I, uhhh, Desire.
I think I'm gonna RMA it. For something this expensive it should work.

BTW, with mine, if you look from the top down and slowly press the search key, it will press all the way in before it gives a less than Desirable click.
I put up with similar issue on my g1 menu button from new. it wasn't until I used someone else's that I realised. I was quite annoyed but then, it never failed on me!

You need to change it to PC LOAD LETTER in hopes of someone flipping out.

The power button on my Xperia Play feels "mushy" all of a sudden. There is no click feel anymore and it is very hard to press.
Does anyone else have this? What is causing the problem?
Could this be leading up to something worse
Does the power button still work though?

You could just send it to me! Haha, some people use it as a VOIP phone in there house. I think an app like GrooveIP will give you that option.

Personally I like having a second phone to quickly and easily show off something cool on the new phone via video. I had a d2g that had a bad esn (I thought I could use it in Europe, but was locked out there too) and I used it a lot for that.
Also I use it when going abroad, as it will work in Europe and the states.
Also, I love using my old phones as alarm clocks. You'd be amazed how many days an old BB Curve will last with all the radios turned off. I'm guessing a Dinc2 would be good that way too.

Two questions. Could it be a GPS without a data connection?
Also, does anyone know of an app that makes your phone networked attached storage and / or plug it into a hard drive and act as an interface for NAS?

I know GPS will work without data, but if you need to pull up directions for navigation, you need to be on WiFi to download the coordinates. After that if you don't make it re-route it will work. As for the 2nd question.....idk

really on all these ideas. I still have my Eris (though the trackball still scrolls left) as an emergency backup, mp3/Pandora player for in-house and garage (anywhere WiFi reaches), and white noise machine for sleeping baby.
Sometimes wish it didn't have that trackball issue so I could use it more efficiantly, so a fully operational DInc2 laying around would be an awesome thing to have.
What did you end up getting?
Thanks for the advice. I also like the idea of an experimental unit, now that I do not rely on the device daily, I can check out the jellybean rom and try out google now

I remember I used to get the eris trackball to start working by putting a piece of clean white paper on a table and rolling the trackball over it in a rolling motion. Always did the trick

Yea, I used up all the paper in the house. It only lasts for a short while now, but it does work for a little (usually). I even replaced the trackball with a blackberry one. I was thinking about trying just caking the area around the trackball/circuit board with JB weld to prevent flex which I think is causing the intermittent contact issue caused by the location of the charging port in relation to the trackball.
Ah well, either way it is extra and it wont be the end of the workl if I destroy it!
Yay for extras!

htc/Verizon asks that you place your inc2 on end of barrel of a 12 gauge, insert 3in slug, make it rain incredible flakes. now your inc2 has been officially updated by Verizon
Like someone else mentioned, the phone could be used as a VOIP home phone. All it requires is a Google Voice account and an app called GrooveIP (there's a free version, but the $5 full-featured version is definitely worth the money in my opinion). I also take it with me when I travel, since most airports and lots of hotels offer free WiFi, which allows me to make as many phone calls as I like without running up my minutes. I've been using my Inc2 for this purpose for awhile now, and it's very nice to have. I keep the phone in a dock and also use it for streaming music when I'm home as well as for my alarm clock. Just because the phone isn't activated on a wireless plan shouldn't mean that it can't serve a purpose.
Only other piece of advice; I would steer clear of ICS/JB based Roms if using it as a VOIP phone. I had nothing but trouble with the audio settings on GrooveIP. But the stock Rom, or any GB-based Rom should work fine. I use MROM (which is CM7 based) and it works exactly as expected.
Hello everyone,
I have a big problem with my HTC Vision. After I've carried it around a long time in my pocket pants the screen do not respond, only after I turn it on and off several times (2-3 times) i can unlock the screen. And then after unlocking the screen it takes about 5 seconds until the screen shows a strange behavior. e.g. for an entry with the on-screen keyboard several keys will be entered without touching the screen, or on the home screen the cursor moves somewhere and activated anything without touching.
This happens everytime i turn off the screen and turn it on some seconds later (maybe 20-30 seconds).
After about 15 minutes out of the pocket the behavior is normal again.
During this about 15 minutes a reboot wont help.
Please can someone help me thank you in advance.
I have the latest CM7.2 rooted on my device, but testet with several other roms.
Greetings Steffen
try to restore stock rom and drivers. If it doesn't help, give HTC for warranty.

Then best guess is it needs a new digitizer, next best guess is the main flex. I would be surprised if it weren't one of these two

Thanks for your suggestion, i also think that the digitizer may have a problem, yesterday i bought a screwdriver an repair set for the phone, and then i will open it for looking inside an maybe see something or for only clean it.
But another question, what is the main flex, i never heard about it in past.
Best regards Steffen
It is the cable that allows all components to be connected as you slide the keyboard

Hi Steyn,

No I have not changed it yet, but I have my device completely disassembled down to the digitizer and thoroughly cleaned. But I've noticed no change.
I'm going to buy now, probably a new digitizer and replace the old.
I still remembered that I had such a problem already with the stock-ROM from HTC, just was not as strong and that is why I have not taken so seriously.
I will write my experiences then here in the forum.
Changing the digitizer fixed similar issues on my device.

Hello, I'm new to this form. Okay so today I traded my galaxy note 1. For a nexus 4 and an HTC one x. I was really excited to see the one x for the first time. The one x is with AT&T. When I took it home and plugged it in the charger the red light on started to flash which I think means the battery doesn't have enough power yet, so I waited until it would be steady. But when I looked at it after about 10mins or so, there was no light at all. Unplugging and plugging back in didn't work. When plugged in for along time it just keeps flashing red for abit then stops (repeatedly). I can't power it on at all or go into bootloader.. Etc.. I've even tried doing the hold volume up and down with power button for 2 minutes, nothing.. So now I'm just thinking it's defective. But before I sent it to HTC to diagnose it, I wanted to see what you guys think it is and how I can possibly fix it. Now the person I got it from said it needed some kind of jtag fix for $50 but idk what this is at all. I'm just hoping to god it isn't the main board that is damaged. The bottom area where the soft buttons are is cracked but it's not serious. Another thing that I'm not sure is normal, is the power button, it feels very soft when I press on it and I can't feel it click at all htc told me this could be normal cause the newer one series phones had soft power buttons. I thought the power button was the issue, but the phone won't even charge. The most I've left it plugged it was about less than an hour, I also saw people saying if you plug it in a computer it can fix it, but Idk how that will solve the issue, I will be going to a friends in the morning to try that though. Anyways that's about all.. I hope that someone can help me with this, and If I can fix it I will be sooo happy! Before I go to bed I will leave it plugged in all night to see what happens. Thanks.

Seems that way, if it does not turn on after hours on charge. And all button combinations don't work either.....then yeah, nothing you can do really.

If i send it to htc they will be able to do something to figure out what's wrong right? I mean everything is fixable.
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes everything is fixable, but it might cost you money. If it's not rooted or custom rommed (locked bootloader) then you have the biggest chance on getting warranty.

Hmm. Well is it normal that the power button feels soft and no kind of clicking in it to know weather it is being pressed down or not? Also if the phone is flashing red when charger is plugged in does that mean the port is still okay?

Well mine has a little click when i press it. Can't say for other hoxes, haven't had that many in my hand.
Yeah port is fine, my guess it's a hardware fault. Maybe the battery itself is faulty or the battery circuit is not functioning the way it should

I've left it plugged in for about 40m and it's just blinking red every 7 or so mins. My power button I'm afraid is broken.. Maybe that's why I can't get any signs that it can turn on or not.
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well the blinking should be static red after a while. Leave it on charge for many hours (8-9) and then try again some button combo's
