So I have the opposite problem from most folks. Pushing the trackpad wakes up my phone and I don't want it to. I have temp root installed, but I rarely root it. I've tried to uninstall various apps to see if the function disappears but I just can't seem to troubleshhot it.
Anyone have any idea why this happens on my phone when I've done nothing intentional to enable the function?
Thanks!
Cyanogenmod does this. Also its possible baconbits does as well.

But what have I done to make it happen? Everyone else complains the trackpad won't wake up their phones. I didn't mod it yet my trackpad has this functionality and I want to disable it.
Are you running a custom rom? If so then which one?
No, I'm just running stock. That's why I'm confused. Like I said, once in a greatwhile I temp root my phone, but that's about as crazy as I get. It just seems to be a standard feature on my phone, but from the comments I read elsewhere, most people do not have this feature and are actively searching for ways to get it.
I personally don't like it as my phone constantly wakes up in my pocket. I know, that's what she said....
You temp root with visionary i assume? And your sure you havnt installed any other program at all? No kernals nothing? Not even setcpu or rom manager?

When'd you get your phone? Makes me wonder if HTC just snuck it in there later. Then again, probably not.

Well, I dowloaded the overclocking script that folks were using before we got perm root. And I do have setcpu installed. I didn't try uninstalling that app. I have linpack, gscript, cachemate, busybox, and titanium installed as well. You think one of these apps could be causing it? I got tired of troubleshooting by uninstalling apps so I thought I'd come here for a tip, so thank you!

I did a phone order from tmobile. This is a replacement. I preordered the first one...
theres a script that can allow trackpad wake.
The kernel is your problem. You need to flash a stock kernel. Ther are plenty on rom manager. Most kernels include the trackpad wake.

When I set Tasker to turn off keyguard (phone doesn't lock itself) it will wake with the track pad.

i was wondering what bloatware can i remove from the slide? i couldn't find a topic that was slide specific or that mentions what and how.
I highly doubt it can be removed without rooting the phone. I could be wrong, but I am almost certain that it cannot be removed unless the phone is rooted.

The only way to remove the bloatware is by rooting the phone, since it's built into the phone's software. Is the software causing you trouble? If so, get an automatic task killer and kill the processes. I hope that helps!
thanks for replying, sorry for coming back here late.

Hiya,
I have been looking the forum, using the search etc, but I can't seem to get a definite answer. Here's my question: Is it possible to overclock a HTC Desire Z without rooting the phone? Because I'd like to keep my warranty on it but do want to see if 200MHz extra helps.
Thanks
I think you can temp root your phone and then oc. If anything goes wrong, just reboot.

Get visionary r14 and temp-root, works nicely, used that before perm-rooting
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah there is no way to do it without at least temp root.
sent from my V I S I O N.
Root=access to kernel, and clock frequencies are in the kernel. If you want OC, use visionary as someone already mentioned. Rooting isn't that hard to do and is easy to undo, so consider it.

There was that one right when the G2 came out that was a script and allowed you to oc up to 1.42.
Or did that one require temp root? I know you had to rerun it every time you rebooted. I'd say just root anyway - you can always go back for warranty purposes.
So every time I flash I wipe data/cache/Dalvik/Battstats. I was using CWM2 for a while and when every ROM continued to slow down and lock up I tried upgrading to CWM3, narrowing my ROM choices but not solving the problem. Whenever I flash, my phone will return to it's snappy self for a varying amount of time before crapping out again. I've tried Sense, AOSP, Evo, and Z ROMs and all behave the same for no apparent reason. What am I doing wrong? My phone used to be lightning quick, I sampled many ROMs and kernels without incident, only experimented with OC briefly, and all of a sudden it's gotten painfully slow no matter what i do. Please help me make my Incredible, "incredible" again
Is it still slow on the Stock ROM? If you haven't tried that already, I would try that. It's possible something else may be wrong with the phone if you've tried many different ROMS and all do the same thing. Do you have all the same apps installed as well, or are they different for the most part?
try fixing permissions
Try wiping your SD card and when you sign in your gmail account don't let it restore all of your apps. Setcpu is also a good investment if you have not already purchased it

How are you restoring apps? I would wipe everything and flash a fresh ROM. does it freeze up now? If not, my $$ is on a rogue app that doesn't like playing with your phone.

Hmm I just flashed OMFGB w/o restoring my apps. The only things I've installed are the Google Apps, Google Voice (which is my primary method of communication), XDA, and SetCPU. The fcs seem random, not tied to any particular action. They even happen when I'm not doing anything on the phone. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help everyone.

update: I think the problem stemmed from using the SetCPU widget with the refresh rate set to 5 seconds. Not sure if changing the setting makes a difference, but removing the widget from my home screen has solved all the issues insofar. We'll see if it takes this time.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
setcpu is always a "use with caution" kind of app. you can get great results, but it's mostly educated trial and error with your rom/kernel combination.
what do i do? i was flashing cm 7.03 and now its just stuck on the screen where the blue arrow goes around and around. what do i do? any help is appreciated.

Take out the battery. Put it back in and start your phone again. If the same happens repeat the battery pull but this time hold down on the volume bar and THEN press the power button to restart your phone. After it starts up in bootloader select recovery by moving the volume bar and then hit the power button again. This will bring you back to recovery where you can flash the rom again or restore your backup.

Thanks im restoring my backup now. I thought i had bricked my phone or something. i just rooted my phone so this was my first ROM that i was flashing so I wasn't sure of what to do.
I know this going to sound stupid, but can anybody point me to a guide or video on how to flash roms? Im new to all this so I dont want to mess anything up.

Note: Start @ 3:15. In the video clockwork mod is black/green but that's just because its an older version, the newer version is black/orange. All the steps are still the same though.

Also keep in mind that some roms can take up to 5 minutes to load the first time. Normally (but definetely NOT always) as long as it doesn't keep reloading the boot animation, everything is fine - the rom is building your file system on your first boot.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
if you took the time to read about kernels and what they are you would know.
but, i'm in a good mood today:
Kernels govern your cpu speed and how to scale it. Some are locked to a certain frequency set and some are made adjustable, but you have to get an app that interacts with the kernel otherwise it runs at whatever it is preset to.
SetCPU is the one I used, but I know there are plenty out there that others would recommend and swear by in a heartbeat.

I'm using Virtuous rom 1.02 with the advanced kernel. I clocked mine at 475-1100mhz with a low battery profile switch at 275-887 (i think).
Check your rom specific kernel to make sure it runs best for your rom. The rest is personal preference.

*sigh* Give a man a fish and he will eat all day. Teach a man to fish and he will drink beer all day.
Since you're on CyanogenMod, I recommend Pershoot's kernel (available through ROM Manager). If you're feeling bold, download Flippy's latest kernel. Since I'm running the CM-based PyroMod, Pershoot's kernel is built in.
Everytime i flash a rom do i need to flash clockwork mod recovery?

If you open clockwork and your current recover is the same as newest version then there is no need to reflash recovery. The only reason to reflash clockwork is if there is a newer version out.

What's a good task manager that works well, I've tried a few but haven't found something I like yet. Anyone got advice.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
if your thinking of a task manager like a task killer dont use one, really a bad idea for android. if you must use something like watchdog so you dont blindly kill apps. even then when things are set up the way you like it and your sure all is well, i would suggest freezing watchdog as it sits in background itself and wastes cpu.
just do a little google search and youll see what im talking about
Ok, thanks. I'm still learning my way around this ROM and all its bells ans whistles. For some odd reason though I use up a lot of RAM. I have to go and kill apps manually.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Your definition of a lot may differ from mine, this Rom has a supercharger script built in, this along with androids ability to choose what apps to kill is the best way to go. You may have some bad apps that have memory leaks or wake locks. Use watchdog to spy on those and remove them if necessary
