weird problems - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi i'm on skank's cm7.2 i installed/uninstalled over the time the next mod: project lard, full gpu rendering, adrenoo booster,pure hd graphics,xtreme project,fluid engine etc and now i wanted to change my rom but on every other rom my home buttom don't work and the lockscreen is dezactivated by itself and if i restore my backup of skank's cm7 everything is working and i don't know what to do, i always wipe data/cache/dalvik and format /system before i install a rom and steel nothing

I had this problem a while ago. IIRC I managed to fix it by going into the bootloader and selecting the "CLEAR STORAGE" option. Then i did a full wipe and flashed a rom.
Its a really weird problem though. No matter what rom i tried flashing the home button wouldnt work. And it wasnt a hardware issue. I remember i even tried enabling the software navigation bar and the home button didnt work on that either.

Freezing after screen unlocking

Hello.
My Wildfire S has a vary nasty bug - screen is freezing after unlocking. Well, I can wait few seconds if i just want to start gmail app etc. But when the call is finished and i have to press the Red Button, screen is freezed and that's very annoying.
What should I do to get rid of that?
i have same problem some help?
Same problem here...need help<<<<<<
i some time press home button to make it work>>>>>
got a video
I got a video example for those who can potentially help but don't undertand me)

And a question - does hard reset do the same as if I flash totally new official firmware? I meen, does HR leaves something after it or only flashing new firmaware can give my phone a totally clean (like just out-of-the-box) memory?
hm, when I did hard reset, no app left, but still seeing that bug...
I'm using it with official ROM too, but i want to know - does flashing new ROM means the same as hard resetting, or HR is a little bit "softer"?
If someone has experience in flashing phones and spotting this bug, can you try to re-flash?
I've got bad news. I flashed the phone by myself and that bug still is on. That means only one - we should go to the service centre and they'll have to deal with it
never experienced that bug. I have 1.35.707.3 CL48651 release keys.
Very strange, mine will hang for a second on the odd occasion but it's never that bad. Only bug I've noticed is sometimes when I power it off the 4 buttons at the very bottom stay lit, again that only happens every now and again.
Does that mean it's HTC sense's problem? Some people on 4pda(russian smartphone forum) say that their phones have been repaired in service centre by replacing touchscreen. I can't understand - is this hardware or software problem?
I have the same problem. Upon unlocking, right side of screen is not working for a couple of seconds.
Tried to hard reset, and it didn't help. Also tried diferent launcher, and problem remained.
Maybe bug in htc firmware. Has anyone tried flashing it with cyanogenmod of something like that?

If you mean factory reset with hard reset, only /data and /cache are wiped.
Flashing a new ROM does wipe /system and replace the content with the new one, nothing happens with /data or /cache here, except within the ROM zip is a cleanup script.
Within /data is all userdata stored, settings, apps and so on (standart behavior, with links2sd its different), within cache is like the name says cached data of the system that shortens the system boot time and stuff like this. In most common you have to clear this before using a different ROM cause it could cause faults, but if the whole base of the rom is different you also have to wipe /data cause this can within this case also cause problems.
Sry, for the off-topic.

Different launchers are only apps, they can't solve this problem when it's related to the lockscreen app, maybe switching to another lockscreen version can solve the problem.
same here, after unlocking left side of screen doesnt work until waiting a few seconds or touching other side
Diferent lock application didn't solve problem either. I tried that. I am using ripple lock now.

Could be that it's kernel related. Maybe it's just a big lag, because the CPU governor needs some time to switch the CPU speed after idle.

It is weird that only right side of screen isn't working properly.
Hope it's not a hardware issue.
Cyanogenmod for wildfire s isn't out yet, so i can't try flashing.
Anyone with some definitive solution?

This is really doing my head in, its the only thing really ruining my enjoyment of the phone now that I have S-off!
I wiped cache, dalvik cache, sd card everything through clockwork before using the RUU flasher, it has to be software, is there a newer version of the RUU flasher since the 1.30.401.0?
Just a suggestion but temporary remove all your widgets to see if that is what might be causing it.
I found some widgets try to refresh once the phone is woke up even before the screen is unlocked. So I uninstalled any that I did not use.
Also you might try these setting in your build.prop file:
Code:
view.touch_slop = 12
view.minimum_fling_velocity = 30
gsm.proximity.enable=false
debug.sf.hw=1
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=80

[Q] Turning on Wifi freezes phone

Hello all,
I will try and be brief but will list everything I have attempted so far. I have a great Desire HD which I have recently rooted, s-off et al because the wifi was intermittant to say the least.
After several days of research here there and everywhere I still am no closer to solving the issue which varies slightly with each new ROM I load.
Firstly, turning the wifi on in most roms freezes the phone so the only solution is to battery pull and reboot and keep the wifi turned off. Slightly better with cyanogen 7 as the wifi will sometimes connect to the hub (BT Home Hub 2) but withi minutes phone has again crashed.
I have tried the following:
Full wipe and reinstall roms to varying success
New SD card
Installs with & without sd card present
Different Radios
Physical inspection of internals - no damage is obvious
Static IP attempted when available for long enough
Reset hub until it is blue in the face along with changing channels, renaming SSID and as many other setting I can think of
Tried a few wifi fix apps
And probably more I cnt recall
I have not yet run a logicat as I need to get the apk.
I am still of a mind that this is software (?) as some Roms get to connect and then freeze up.
I will continue to investigate and update progress but if anyone has more ideas please point me in that direction.
very many thanks
I'd try running a log cat. But sound like a software problem to me. In the words of Teichopsia 'Did you check the SIM cover?'

Thanks very much for the swift reply etc. I will be running a logcat as soon as I can get hold of the apk and will post here for anyone with greater understanding (probably most!)
As for the physical side yes both covers checked and cleaned contacts. Have not tried new ones but as the wifi connected, albeit briefly with cyan I am going to exhaust the software side until there are no more answers.
Thank you

Thanks - this has been tried so I should add that to my list of "whats been done" so sorry I missed that off. Same condition - wifi connects for the briefest of time then hangs/freezes phone up which still leads me to believe its software somehow.
I have attempted a catlog which is attached and there is mention of wifi hang but I do need help to decipher and find a solution if there is one!

Just tried a new wifi kernel so I will report on that too soon.

Not doing too well at solving this! I wonder just what it could be?
Thank you most appreciated
The kernel shouldn't be the problem; all ROMs I know of come with working kernels.
In CWM, for a full wipe, you need to go to...I think it's Advanced? (I might be wrong.) Anyway, somewhere, find the options that say "format system," "format data," and "format cache." Use them. "Factory reset" only wipes data and cache, not system. This WILL wipe all your data. Then flash. I would try flashing stock or ARHD first.

Well blessings so far - Full wipe and ARHD 7.1 for a couple of hours and full wifi, no freezes.
So.....it is software? What now if I want to try other ROMS? (at least I can get back to stock!)

For other ROMs, give a full wipe and flash a try. My hunch is that the lack of a full wipe was the problem.

Stuck on o2 welcome screen.

Ok so.. my friend gave me his old htc desire, and unlocked it, it was stock rom and not rooted. (that's what he told me) so the other day i was in recovery mode ( Cwm was installed ) and i went into restore and backups. I saw a recent restore point so i clicked it to restore the phone to that date ( because he had install full of **** on it and instead of doing a factory reset that i had already did, i tired the restore point to see if after cwm and every would be gone ) The thing is, now when i try to boot my phone, it get's stuck on the o2 welcome screen forever.. i tried factory reset, clear storage everything.. it's still stuck there. So now how do i repair that ? Do i need to install a stock rom again ? Or is it possible for someone to post a backup of his htc desire so i can restore it to stock, or something ?
thx for the help
ps: I'm a noob

Press volume down while holding then power button. It gives an option of recovery. Select and see if you're able to go into recovery.
If yes, download any ROM you want, put it on root of your sd card, wipe everything and flash the ROM from recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Yeah, and unfortunately you will lose all your recent data.
I think you can use Titanium Backup Pro to extract the data from the broken backup.
It's ok, i wasn't using that cell phone i have my old iphone 4 for now so i don't mind loosing all the data on the htc. I installed a new rooted mod (gingerbread 2.3.3 ) Works great, my htc always boot correctly now the only thing is my volume up,home and menu keys work partially ? Sometimes they work other times not... and they all either work at the same time or not. Like the home button never work's without the other buttons, or menu doesn't work if the other don't work either, they all work or all not work at the same time ? How can i fix that, and i don't think it's a hardware problem since the 3 work and not work at the same time.. i mean the volume up and menu and home are not connected so how could they not work at the same time ?
thx for your help

Virus???? Idk but phone is messed up

Ok here it goes. my network service is off so i use my droin inc for games and such. running custom rom wildstang83 IceCream Scencless 1.0. im not sure what happened to my phone but i left for 3 days and come back to my phone being totally jacked up. It wot dl apps the google play reverted back to the old market icon. wont save my passwords for google sighn in. every time i go to youtube it says to re dl the google play services. im sure other stuff is messed up too. i have tried to flash another rom but when it gets loaded back up it keeps saying process. whatever failed and there a bunch of those that loop and i have to pull battery. when i try to factory reset it says everything was formatted but when i reboot phone its the sme as it was before apps and all. So is there anyone out there who can help me with this. Sorry if i posted in the wrong place or what not. i wasnt sure where to post it cuz its kinda an advanced question but not really a question just need help.
not a virus but it does sound like your phone might have exhausted all the space in the /data folder. I had a similar thing happen to me before I rooted and fixed my phone where i exhausted the space, itt went a factory reset and put the phone into an unusable state.
i don;t know anything about the rom you are running but are rooted and have CWM installed? if so, you should be able flash a new ROM to your device, GAPPS and optionally, the low space disk fix.

Yes i do have cwm but i tried to flash a new rom via the recovery section. after i choose the zip to flash everything goes as expected untill after the reboot and it goes into the setup part where u have to put gmail password and stuff in then it basically freezes up with unlimited process failures. but i will try again. cant hurt from where it is now.
if you are not doing so already, i would wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing the rom. that may fix the FCs.
I would also suggest you run a newer jelly bean ROM like Tiny;s 5-16 with his version of GAPPS(4-05) version plus the low space disk fix so you can maintain parity with what is the latest.
I am currently using evervolve 6-25 and it is working well for me.
the reason I say that is these newer JB roms have the ability to let you skip the activation easily. I don;t know if it was some feature of GB roms but the activation wizard in the JB roms seem to be better my opinion.
When switching to a different ROM, it is crucial to wipe /system. This can be a source of FCs. Also, if switching, it is also a good idea to do factory reset.

I just flashed another rom i used in the past by the same dev and so this is my step by step. 1. choose zip from sd. 2. factory reset. 3. wipe dalvik cache. 4. wipe cache partition. If this doesnt work i will try jb roms but i would hate to have to dump the dev that im useing. there the most stabe roms i have come across so far

what do u mean wipe /system. where do i find that. only reason i ask is cuz maybe ive never done that. but i have never had a problem withthe other 15 roms i have flashed before so thats why im so confused about what happened to my phone. all i did was shut it off and leave it home. nothing changed from my daily use before that and it was working top notch before i shut it off
im getting settings fc. youtube fc, my uploads fc, market fc, clock widget fc, internet fc, rss reader fc, htc sence fc, all those off of a fresh flash ad new sd card
Just lost my bckups that were saved on sd card so now i cant even get on it i dont get it. its not bricked but yet it i unstabe to run any rom but the preivious saved backup (now there deleted)
maybe the rom you downloaded is corrupt. worst case scenerio is that your phone is on it;s last legs.....
i would suggest you try downloading the JB rom and Gapps plus the low space fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050930
it;s kind of proven to work in my opinion. the 5-16 build is pretty stable.
what I do is flash the rom zip, gapps zip and low space zip, then wipe cache and dalvik. it probably should not make a difference but I am using TWRP as my recovery instead of CWM.
goodluck!

Thank u and its still not working. probably just takeing a dump on me now it is just bootlooping.
when i do a factory reset i get a wipe completed. but it says "no app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext" could that be part of the issue?? ive never noticed that before
i don;t know if switching to TWRP might help you but it might be worth a try. maybe a coincidence but the last time I had a screw up on my Dinc installing a ROM, i was using CWM. I switch right after that. I think i did read something about TWRP specifically supporting the EXT4 Low space fix.
maybe someone more knowledgable can chime in.

I installed 2.0 on my N5110 (coming from 1.9) and it is working well but the top of my tablet is non-responsive to touch. Happened on other releases but a reboot always fixed it. This time the problem remained, so I tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, reboots, and all sorts of combinations. I did finally manage to fix the issue yesterday after one of those reboots but now the problem just reappeared and won't go away. Any suggestions?
Edit: Finally got it resolved with a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvik through cwm recovery. Then I flashed Civz reflexx Rom 2.1 and rebooted. The top of the screen still did not respond to touch, so I rebooted and now everything works perfectly. :thumbup:

yes, hd happened to me, I re downloaded and reflashed it again and is OK now..
well, I finally installed twrp, and backed up my stock rom, so I am getting ready to flash the first custom rom on any tablet I have had!
one quick question; I am a very experienced rom flasher; I see in TWRP, there are several options under the wipe menu, and, I know to check the first 4 options before flashing this rom; then, there are 2 more options, wipe internal card, and wipe external card.
I know not to wipe my external card, since all my "stuff" is there...should I wipe the internal card before flashing, or is that not necessary when flashing this rom from a stock rom?
I apoligize if this belongs in the the TWRP thread, but I thought since others have probably gone through this, I wanted to post the question here as well. I guess I should post it in the TWRP thread as well...
thank you!

This is my opinion on it.....I usually only wipe the internal card if I am starting completely over with flashing a device. Wiping data/cache is usually all that is needed but if there are a lot of apps that get installed over time their folders get left and every so often I like to wipe it to get rid of all the "orphaned" folders. If you are going to just restore all those apps anyways then it won't make a difference either way. If you are going from the stock rom to a TW custom based on the stock it shouldn't be necessary to flash internal.
thanks man, that is what I thought, but, since I have never flashed a custom rom on to any tablet I have owned, I wasnt sure if there was other "stuff" on the internal card that might be needed no matter what; and, yes, since I will just be restoring all of my apps pretty much once I flash this custom rom, I might as well just leave the internal card alone...

thanks man, that is what I thought, but, since I have never flashed a custom rom on to any tablet I have owned, I wasnt sure if there was other "stuff" on the internal card that might be needed no matter what; and, yes, since I will just be restoring all of my apps pretty much once I flash this custom rom, I might as well just leave the internal card alone...
I appriciate your fast reply!

Please take my advice with caution...I did not take your point into consideration because I have yet to do it on this particular tablet (only had the Note for 1 day). Never had a problem on any other tablets/devices but who knows. I wouldn't think there would be an issue. However, like you say probably no reason to wipe internal if you will just be restoring them back anyways.

thanks!

tun.ko or tap.ko?
I'm trying to get openvpn to work on REFLEX2.0 in tap mode. Looks like I need a tap.ko kernel module for either the stock kernel or the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel. Anyone know where I might find such a thing?
---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------
I notice the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel has no /proc/config.gz file. That means the kernel was not compiled with the CONFIG_IKCONFIG option. Is there a way to see what options are baked in to the kernel?

USB Mass Storage Unexpectedly Removed Loop
Hi,
Not sure if I am posting this in the right spot but I am getting a mass storage device unexpectedly removed loop message whenever I attached my USB flash drive? I am using the V2.1 ROM and kernel so wondering if anyone else is facing this same issue? Thanks!

i have better luck if i tap at the bottom of the softkey. it's almost as if the icon is bigger than the actual location that the press registers.
Chrome screen bug solution
Basically the problem is the notification bar, combined with the lack of on-screen softkeys. In order to fix it, you need the following:
Xposed Framework:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/XposedInstallerDownloadUnsigned.apk
How it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
App Settings manager:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/AppSettings_0.4.apk
I've been using this combination on my tablet for a while now. It lets me change the resolution for individual apps. For instance, I want the tablet mode of Gmail, but I want my tablet to run in phablet mode so that I get the top notification bar and no softkeys.
The Chrome fix is simple. The app settings for the Chrome executable should have the fullscreen option toggled, the DPI set to 160, and the screen resolution set to 800x1200. It then hides the notification bar on top while you're in the browser, and shifts the screen that quarter of an inch where it is offset due to the Chrome bug on tablets without softkeys. If you need to access the notification bar, simply swipe down on the screen from the top edge and it will pop up.
If the print size is too small, you can use the accessibility settings in Chrome to scale up the font size.

Hi,
Please ignore my last message as the issue was using the wrong kernel on my part. Thanks!
Question
I'm thinking of flashing a new ROM having used stock for month or so now. My concern is regarding the apps I have installed and am currently using, specifically FolderMount.
If I flash a new ROM (either civs older 4.1 build or his newer 4.2 one depending on how he is progressing), will I lose the links?
I have about 25GB worth of game obb and data transferred over from my internal memory to my micro SD. I dont fancy using up all my download allowance having to re- download and install all of those (plus the time it takes to transfer them all over). I dont mind losing the layout of my homescreens as I'm thinking of shaking that up anyway.
I've only one past experience of flashing a Rom and that ended up with me having to reinstall and set up all my apps (jump from ICS to JB on my Asus TF101)
