the "z" sense on... - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if it is possible to get the "z" launcher/rosie apk to load on stock 2.2 on the incredible.. i think it would be great to have the landscape sense on it, thanks alot!

Sense is tightly integrated with the framework so about the only way you'll have it is to install a Z rom.

alright, thank you.. thats kind of what i thought, but i didnt know for sure

Would like to have landscape also on sense. I have read that a z ROM gets phantom calls. Does anyone know if it is a constant issue or just occasionally?

It's not that they get phantom calls. Every now and again, it will appear to disconnect a phone call but then reconnects it a few seconds later. I've been using Uber Z for quite some time and have only experienced this once.

keyboard not working at times?

seems like everytime I open a text message and go to respond, the keys dont work. I can feel the haptic feedback but no text is entered. I have to exit the app and reenter.. Its not only in Messages, but all apps. Other buttons on the screen seem to work, but the buttons do not.
anyone else been noticing this?
Yup!
I've noticed it most typing in the text box of forums... though it is inconsistent.

Yeah mine does that too and it takes a few seconds to get out of the loop then it can type again. Kinda weird wonder if any fix to this.
Keyboard Issues
+1 to this issue
One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.
I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.
Anyone got a fix yet?
is anyone running the Overclock widget? It seems like once the message pops up "overclock widget has been granted superuser permissions" everything returns to normal... until I go to respond again ahhhhh
i have the same problem i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it i thought my phone was goin bad really quickly because i like just got it a couple weeks ago but i dont know what the deal is
if i goto messages i can press all the keys and nothin comes up and if i go to landscape the box is gray and i feel it has to kick in later
another problem i have been having is when i click on to call someone itll call them like 20 seconds later instead of immediately anyone else get this problem too?
i find that if I turn the phone into landscape mode, click the bubble, then turn the phone right side up again.. It works... seems more like a software bug then anything.. or something to do with the sensors.
My friend's Evo running stock FroYo has had this problem. I haven't seen it, but I am running a custom rom. I wonder if that makes a difference.

Have u guys tried a different keyboard? Like the Droid x keyboard?

I'm running stock froyo and this happens quite often to me as well. If I wait a few seconds after I notice nothing typing on my screen it will eventually catch up and let me type normally again. This happens daily.

What keyboard are people using? I thought it was a Swype thing, but it sounds like the problem is more general.

[Q] Answer phone

every other time my phone rings I cant answer it. The accept button just wont move?? is it just me or have anyone else had this error I have a dezire z
Do you have set CPU set to 245MHz @ screen off?
no i dont, why?
Well that could be one cause, maybe it's a bad app causing your phone to temporarily freeze? Can you slide it the other way and ignore the call?
Did you try flashing a different kernel?

why do you suggest this? how do you know hes using kernels? im just trying to see what your connection to the solution is -its quite a specific answer to a problem that hasnt really been examined. what rom is he on, etc before you can start talking about kernels -- so can you clarify?
accept button - do you mean the slider? if you have cmod - just activate settings to disable lock menu/trackball/ whatever --also you could try the no-lock unless you have security issues.
if no cmod -- theres apps to reduce the lockage -- that may help you get your phone calls but still doesnt fix the problem? you could try enomther's and his awesome extra ssettings app has all those options
Thanks for your help, well it is my wifes phone and it is fresh from the store, just a bunch of apps installed.
I will try some things and see if i can figure it out. And yes it is the slide button, can that be switched for a push button, Is it theme based or in the dialer?? hope you understand what i say.

If its a stock DESIRE Z and not a G2 then I think it's safe to assume its got sense on it and not AOSP. Did you try hard resetting it? (power down and pulling the battery for at least 30 sec) other than that id check for any OTA updates in the settings menu. OR if you're willing/know how, you can root it and run CM or virtuous. Both ROMs are excellent. If you do that and the problem persists, it could very well be a faulty unit. You have a lot of options!
I found I had problems answering calls when I had a specific make of screen protector on the phone. As soon as I took that off and went back to a previous one I'd used then it was fine again ! It's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Problem solved, An update did the trick, thanks for helping out my friends,

Desire Gingerbread lock screen driving me crazy

So I recently (past month) decided to test out the GB ROMs for the Desire. Everything went perfectly smooth except for the crazy lock screen.
For some reason, if I call someone and they hang up my phone will go to the lock screen. As long as the proximity sensor is activated and i'm not the one ending the phone call it automatically locks the screen.
This happens if the other party hangs up, network error, busy, etc... and its driving me nuts.
So far i've tried CM7 RC1/RC2, Oxygen, Gingervillain, Devnull (stockish GB) and every one of them gives me the same thing.
I've changed ever setting possible but I keep receiving the same problem.
Now I'm not sure if this is related or not, but if when I connect my Desire to the computer it will give me the phone off/on click maybe 5-6 times in succession and then everything is normal. Same problem with all ROMs.
Could someone please verify that I'm not the only one with this problem? And if anybody has a solution I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Forgot to mention that the Sense ROMs dont have this problem.
I get the auto screen lock, not sure about the phone off/on click tho :/
Ive tried the same roms too..
Do you have a Sense GB ROM for Desire?
Anyways, try "Return to dialer after call" in contacts preference.

Nope normal GB ROM. And that doesnt work either :/
Well my friend got a brand new Nexus S with Gingerbread and I tried this thing out on it.
Turns out its something built into Gingerbread and it doesn't look like you can change it

Force close frozen keyboard

My keyboard constantly freezes, sometimes when the phone is ringing and I cannot even answer the call.
Is there a way to force close it?
Did you already tried rebooting your phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Thanks for the answer but my question is if there is a way to force close Keyboard so I can answer a call if the phone is ringing or an sms, etc.
When I reboot it fixes the issue of course.
Think he meant does a reboot fix the problem for good or at least for a while, meaning it doesn't happen the next time or for a few more times. I understand that is a pain. I have not experienced the keyboard freeze/lag problem since being on 4.0.4 if that helps. As far as a way to FC the keyboard WHILE your phone is ringing.. I think you are out of luck.

I guess I'll just wait for the update, thank you for the reply.
well you can always go into the running apps section and force close the keyboard, it'll be a running service.
I haven't heard of the issue. Haven't had any keyboard problems. Sorry.

Lock screen shortcut problem?

Hi all. I just wondered if anyone could help me out with this problem i'm having.
When on the lock screen you can usually just pull the ring on to the camera in case you need to make a quick snap shot. But after the Jelly Bean update, every time I try use it, it freezes for around 5-6 seconds rendering the shortcut useless I suppose. Only happens with the camera app and nothing else for some reason.
Anyone have any ideas of what could solve this? Such a small problem but it's a really annoying one.
Cheers.
Did you make an hard reset when you upgrated to Jelly?
There is to say that the problem there is also in custom rom...
So, it may be an htc issue rom

I haven't done a hard reset because of fear of just losing everything... not very good with all this stuff, usually just find a quick or easy fix for things.
When it comes to going a bit deeper to trying to fix something i'm lost.
Goes without saying I haven't rooted my phone or anything, so there wouldn't be any problems it that area.
Any thought's on how else I could fix this, pal? thanks.
I don't know how to fix, so i usually don't use the camera so i don't have this on shortcuts...
I also have the same issue
