Sleep Mode

Hi,
I have a question about sleep mode or whatever you want to call it. I am sure that you figured out that i am new to Android and the Desire (only had it for 4 days now).
I remember reading somewhere here but I cant find, someone asking if it were possible to bring the phone out of standby or sleep mode whatever you call it, other then pressing the power button.
I would like to know is there an app that allows this for "stock" Desires? I am not running any other types of ROMs. I am still too new to this all.
If anyone knows. I would appreciate it. Thanks for putting up with an Android & Desire Noob.

WidgetLocker can do that but it will replace ur standard lockscreen. I can recommend the app btw...

Thanks elburna I will try it out and see how I like it.

[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,

same problem , cannot answer with swipe keys
I have the same problem, which update did you use

[Q] Trackpad button not working - quick question

I bought a used G2 which already had Cyanogenmod on it. The trackpad button works to scroll both horizontally and vertically, but clicking it does not select anything in any app. I reset the phone and flashed a fresh download of CyanogenMod-7.1.0-vision using Clockwork recovery. The button still does not work. I can't find any setting in Cyanogen which would control it.
Since I can't revert to stock (bought phone with no original image) to check out the button with the original phone image, I have a question: is the trackpad click expected not to work in Cyanogenmod 7, or is the button broken? (Or is there a setting I have missed?)
I suspect it is broken, but I'd like confirmation before concluding that, so many thanks to anyone who can confirm this button is or is not expected to work.
(Search disclaimer: I've searched here and on CyanogenMod forum and see no one reporting my problem, and Google searches are lost between 1) people asking if they can use this button to unlock the phone and 2) Google getting confused and thinking I want to know about the HP Touchpad. I've also found it surprisingly hard to find reference to people actually using the trackpad to click things.)

Try to flash Sense based ROM, or something wat's not CyanogenMod. If it doesn't work, the button is broken.

Thanks. Button is confirmed dead.

12.99 on ebay, takes 20min to replace, 30 if you take your time

You have to turn the trackpad option on, its not on by default.

For me it's on by default, no matter which ROM I use.

Can't pull up the notification bar

Hi,
I have a problem on my HTC one X - I can't pull up the notification bar.
after pulling it down, the only way to remove it is to press the Home or Back keys.
the problem comes and goes, and the touch sreen is working with no problem on the same places.
I'm with the original ROM, version 1.28.707.10
I can't think of any application I installed that cause this, because as I said, the problem just stoped by itself, and then coming back a few times.
Any idea what can it be?
Thanks,

Are you using a launcher?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium

no.
but the problem was fixed by itself again yesterday,
and today i got the update to 1.29.707.11 - maybe it will solve it for good.

I'm having the same problem.
In landscape mode I can pull it up again but not in portrait mode.
I'm having the issue with Leedroid ROM and CM9...full wipe doesn't resolve the issue.
Anyone know what's the cause of this?

[Q] HTC desire 816 touch problems..

Hello guyz.. My htc 816 touch screen not working properly, have to press several times each button.. This suddenly happened.. I turn on in settings "show touches" and began to see in the left down corner on the back button that the touch is moving there and pressing back very fast.. Now this issue often appear .. But now the soft keys are not pressing from the first time I touch them.. The notification bar is to hard to open either.. And tapping a message is a massacre hehe..
P.s : I'm rooted.. And I try to install cm12 but nothing happened.
Plz friends help.. And thanks

Flash a RUU, or restore a stock backup and see if the problem persists.

I have the same issue. 816x single SIM. Any Rom I flash I get this same issue after a few minutes into the Rom. Only on stock it works normally. I have used most recent released of twrp and cwm. I have also tried garak kernal and stock trying to narrow it down. Any ideas on this?

R u sure is the same issue?? Cuz I'm worry it's a hardware issue..

Sounds the same to me. Have to hit home keys few times to get it to work, trying to text is hectic. During swiping it'll select things instead of swipe. Put on pointer location youll see it on and off while moving around the screen (even though you're doing a circle with your finger). Something around those lines?

Did anyone find a fix on this at all? Seen a few posts on this but no answers yet.

I have the same issue . plz help

same here. on virgin mobile, is there any fix?

i have 2 phone with this issue
plz help to fix

I also have this problem. Just started two days ago. The most problematic is the going back button and the home button. Text is a nightmare as swipe works intermittently and it's all so slow. I've had to turn it off and on to get out of the camera or off another page due to the back button not working. It has also started bringing up random pages that I haven't touched, as someone else said somewhere.
I've taken the sim card out but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
So, if I restore to factory settings as has been suggested, what happens to my apps? I'm only concerned about my one paid app as it was $28! Can I just download via pc as I did initially?
What if this doesn't work? This is a new phone from January ... I love it :crying:

take it to hTC if it's under warranty.
paid apps will remain in your Google account if you have purchased them in google playstore.

Your device software is not up to date speaking bootloader wise. This happens and causes your device touch functions to act up. This was an early issue when device was just released.
