Bottom buttons stops working.

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx

do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it

try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik

I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.

Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.

Warrianty it's a faaaar away past

I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...

If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen

I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.

Where did You get this board? Ebay?

I don't think they send to Poland, but thx anyway..

Sorry for diggin this topic, but cellurar.dr is not responding my emails and I can't find/buy this board..

2.1 Roms and Greenish Camera!

To all the Devs.
Hi there, as you all might know the 2.1 Roms have the Greenish Camera issue!

2.1 Roms
I am loving the work you guys are doing so much, that my Hero changes Rom every week, but this issue remains unsolved for a long time!
Try fixing this please, i know "friendstream" is important but the "camera" is way more!
Thanks in advance!

I agree! I love all the ROMs out there, and this is my only major problem!

I think the auto white balance is not working. It's even worse... the pictures are saved in 5 megapixel, but are only 2 or 3. If you zoom in to 100% (1:1) you'll see squares. You can see it a littlebit in your greenish example (compare it to the 1.5 one and you'll see what I mean).
That's why I'm on 1.5 (Kimera 1.6) and keep it that way until HTC releases the 2.1 kernel for the Hero.

@Whepper - What are the downsides to using 1.5? I was thinking of switching to Kimera 1.6 but im afraid of losing some things like 2.1 Apps.
(Im not sure which apps require 2.1 though).

This is very frustrating for me as well: greeny/bluey rubbish.

Yeah, it's a little surprising, but no one seems to have a definite fix for it. There used to be a purported fix over at the villainrom forum which some people had success with, but it didn't do anything for me.

That's my experience as well. Could someone who has the issue try changing the White balance to Incandescent or Fluorescent? At least when I change to Daylight or Cloudy I get the greenish tint as well.

That's right, Homer. Auto is green 9 times out of 10 for me, but daylight/cloudy are -always- green tinted, and incandescent and fluorescent... aren't great but at least they're not green.

Jup same counts for me. As well as the little squares which actually bothers me the most

I have that problem will all 2.1 roms,JUst hope devs can find a way to fix this problem. Camera is useless with to much green color in it. YOurs much better my picture turns out really green much like hulk.

I have the same problem when I up to 2.1 Rom

Can it be that the optical hardware used in the Legend, Desire, etc. is just different from the Hero's?
HTC might have put another color profile in those 2.1 ROMs when they were calibrating the hardware to 18% gray. Such a color profile is used for auto white balancing in digital photography, as hardware/software cannot interpret color "correctness" (what is white?).

Please correct me if i`m wrong, but Sprint Hero uses the same hardware as GSM Hero right?
This issue also happens on VillainROM 5 Series (Sprint Port).

i had the same problem with villain 5.3, but after installing the fix the greenish tint is gone.

Never mind, I found it.
Going back to Modaco 3.2 untill a fix is available.

There are no real downsides, besides losing those 2.1 apps (almost all of them are Google's) and losing VPN functionality (if you need that).

What did you find?

I had tried that on Villain5.3 but it did not fix the green issue.
Having tried different camera apps , the issue still exists. So does this mean it's a kernel issue ( ie drivers) that we can't solve until official Hero version is released ?
Anyway, nathan has stated that he will be looking into the issue as he was not really aware before so fingers crossed. In meantime I'm running OpenEclair 1.3 - photo's have a time/date stamp on them but are at least not green !!

Anyone found a solution/rom without this issue?

Pink stripe down middle of screen

On my E4GT, when I turn the display brightness really low with my ScreenDim app, and then look at something (e.g., a PDF file) which fills the screen with a white background (and black text), while being in a dark room, I can see that the middle third of the screen is slightly pinkish, forming a pinkish vertical stripe, instead of white.
Does anyone else have the issue? If you want to try to see if yours has the issue, you can use ScreenFilter and turn the brightness really low, or you can use the free ScreenDim Trial and set to 25% or a bit lower (in Easy Mode). I'm wondering if I should return the phone to the store, or if they're all like this.

Does the lack of replies mean that I am the only one having the problem?

LOL, good for you for being persistent AR.
I tested this for you on mine and I'd say mine is a little over half on the left side as what you described.
Edit: Title is a little misleading but your initial comment about the whole left side of the screen seems to be correct.

Sounds like a symptom of the application. I have not seen a single et4g with a pink line/screen come through my service and repair centers.

This is something you wouldn't normally see in a stock scenario. The lighting app allows for drawing the screen down below 25% and the discoloration is very faint. I wouldn't probably have even noticed it unless I was asked specifically to look for it.
I don't think AR was pointing it out as a problem. He was probably just curious if anyone else could duplicate it using the same setup (well, and to make sure he wasn't really having an issue too I suppose ).

No, I don't think it's a software problem. The app lowers screen brightness to the lowest level allowed by the OS and then draws a light gray overlay over the screen. The device isn't rooted and the app uses standard documented apis. None of this should produce a nonuniform effect like this stripe. In theory, the same issue should come up if one turns the brightness to a minimum with the OS settings and them loads a light gray image. I'll see if I can produce it.
Also, you only see the effect well if you are in a quite dark room. But since I like to read in the dark, this matters to me. If all units have this, I'll live with it. But if it's only mine, I want it to be fixed.
This issue is one of the reasons I haven't rooted: I may need to return the unit.

You are right. I would want to know if it is my phone or not before I make a decision to have it replaced. What if the replacement phone not only has the same issue, but a couple of new ones as well?

Here's a test that doesn't require any special app.
Turn off automatic brightness and set brightness to minimum.
Then view this test image with the browser
http://pruss.mobi/test/A0.jpg
Zoom until it fills the screen. Go into a dark closet or other windowless room without lights. View the screen from different angles. To me, the discoloration is most visible if I view it in portrait mode, straight on. It disappears if I tilt the screen side-to-side a bit. Here is an attached copy:

Here's a QR code for the A0 image:

Hi AR. I tried it out again but I still do not have a line down the screen. I tried several screen brightness levels all the way to 0% where I could barely see the grey and still no line for me. Hope this helps and hopefully someone else will try it for you too.

The other issue my screen has is that if I view a 100% black image, and go into a very dark area (when I tested this most thoroughly, I was in a closed, windowless garage at night), and let my eyes get adjusted to the dark, eventually (after a bit of dark adaptation) I see an gray glow from the screen, with many irregular small patches that are completely black peeking out of the grayness. This is a very small aberration, but it is noticeable when outside at night running an astronomy app.

Interestingly, after a couple of months the problem seems to have decreased. Or my brain is screening it out.

[Request] Daniel Wellington (Facer)

Would anything be willing to make this watch face? I like the simplicity, but elegance of this watch face:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Sure thing. This should be a couple of minutes only.
Here you go. Looks much nicer on the watch.

Can I request a black background? And, sorry to n00b it, is there a way to set the ambient screen to the a lighter (meaning less bright) version of the watch without the second hand moving? Is that something I can do?
GREAT work man

The watch is only made with the light background. I can invert the image and desaturate the blue tint, and you'll have a black background with white/grey markers and text. What I will not do is recreate/photoshop out all the markers and just replace the background with black and keep the markers in gold, as that is way way more work than your original request. If you're ok with the black/white look, I can easily do that.

There is no second hand on my watch, as the original DW doesn't have it either, neither does the image on your OP. It's only hour and minute. As far as changing the image when it's dimmed, it's just a matter of duplicating the layer, changing the opacity and setting that to show when dimmed, and setting the original layer not to show when dimmed.
I'm not entirely sure if you're talking to me thinking of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/themes-apps/daniel-wellington-watchface-t2982668
or thinking of these:

http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/daniel-wellington-classic-silver-date-14a7c79b209
All three of those somehow, magically, appeared online after I created mine based on your request.
If none of those three are what you want, I can modify the one I made. But I don't want to waste my time, so check those out and let me know.

Thanks, I will try and muddle through the settings. Still very new to this. I am using Watchmaker, and will play around.
There are some of the watches I like, but I use ambient setting, and for some the watch face disappears and only the hands remain. Others have a second hand that freezes in ambient mode, then jumps around when it activates fully.
If that even makes sense.
Thanks for all the work, you do a phenomenal job.

Thanks! I ran into the issue where 4 Pm appears as 8 pm on my watch. Bug?

I think it's because this watch face lacks 12 hour time support. Any way to add this in? Thanks

Watch Face does not lack 12 hour support. It's using the standard tag. You can also just change that yourself in Facer by opening the layer for the hour hand and changing the rotation tag.

Hi, I love this face, but it keeps displaying the wrong time. Sometimes it shows it like 8 hours out but currently it's not moving the hour hand with minutes, just staying exactly on the hour.
Anyone / @Max_Pain have any idea?
Edit: in fact, the hour hand is stuck at 12.

Question Video Fainting while playing on the device

Hi, well I was new here so I was thinking of starting with one problem at a time but,
Whenever I try to play a video, like from all platforms (Prime Video, Youtube, video players like VLC, websites, etc....), the normal color of the video is hindered like there appears to be some kind of a fainting screen overlapping the video reducing the color and playback experience.
And the main thing is this seems to go away when we press the Volume rocker button and until the volume bar appears on the screen the natural colors of the video appear but as soon as it disappears, it goes back to the hindered color version.
It seems like a film is pasted over the screen area and as soon as you press the volume rocker, it is removed!
I have tried formatting and also deleting specific apps used for playing videos and reinstalling them, but of no avail.
Could someone maybe help me out?

Idk if it will work but I would suggest to turn of all options in menu called "Dark Mode options"
Maybe it will help

Hi there!
I changed my motherboard due to another issue with networks but the video issue still remains!
Now the service center guys are saying that it is a feature in the device but what kind of a feature it is if it doesn't let us use the amoled screen with the original colors and darkness!
Well currently don't know any solution have suggested to feedback app in miui but no updates of the same!
If you have got any solution please do tell!
