[Q] So strange problem with T-Mobile G2 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody ....
My problem is with the accelerometer as about one month ago i needed try one sense rom on my G2 so i flashed the desire Z hboot as it was required to get the rom working , Yesterday i needed return back to normal rom so i flashed back the G2 hboot and flashed the rom & GAPPS , when it started the wizard of the first time i noticed screen doesn't rotate but ok , i thought maybe in settings is not set to rotate by default but after i ended with the wizard i found in settings that auto-rotate screen is checked , here i thought the problem is with rom specially that i downloaded one program from play store to test sensor and found that all sensor values are "0" , i flashed an old rom i had before with the G2 hboot ( accelerometer was working like charm with that rom in the past ) and i found that this rom too has same issue , screen can't rotate , I flashed back desire Z hboot and found that sensor returned to work again and screen is rotating the right way , i tried back G2 hboot with no hope , now i`m forced to use desire Z hboot to keep accelerometer working
any ideas ????

Just keep the dz hboot, if this is working you just loose a little of your data partition for the system, it seems you aren't the first with this issue but no real reasoning has been made to as why. Just flash whatever ROM you please, keeping the dz bootloader

[Q] TOuchscreen not working (restoring stock stuff)

hi i have a desire z in a closet,today i took it and turned on,the touchscreen didn't respond,i haven't used it,so i guessed it was a kernel problem,so i flashed the latest virtuos 4 ics,same problem

G2 boots into recovery after android revolution 7 rom flashed

Hi. I just flashed my old g2 with ARHD 7 and now the phone after I turn it on it boots into the HTC screen and then it goes directly into recovery. I had never had a problem like this when flashing a rom in this phone. I have searched all around but still cant find anything like this.
Off the top of my head, do you have the Desire Z hboot installed?
(Not sure if the problem description is a symptom of not having it, but it is required when running pretty much any Sense ROM)
This can happen if the ROM you flashed did not flash properly. Have you tried to wipe everything, redownload, and reflash the ROM?
I believe that biohazrd51 is correct, not having the desire z HBOOT can cause this problem as well.
Hey! Thanks for the replies! I did found out that I didn't had the desire z hboot....noobiadaaaa onmy side...hehe...I flashed it and I didn't even had to reflash the rom...it worked flawlesly. I was trying to use the phone with AT&T but it would not connect in other band than edge. I guess I'll check to see if the frequencies on the G2 are compatible with the AT&T network. It would make calls and receive. But the internet was slow as hell! Thanks again guys.

Help: HTC Desire keyboard going crazy

Hello,
I had been using the latest oxygen aosp rom for my gsm htc desire until yesterday.I decided to try the cm7 rom because the keyboard (not just one, I tried almost all of them) behaved very strangely in oxygen : it did not respond when I pressed a key, then it started to press keys on its own so I couldn't write a simple text message. I thought the problem was caused by some sort of a bug in the oxygen rom, however after i had switched to CM7, the problem appeared yet again. I have tried cleaning the cache, but it does not work. I am kind of desperate, can someone help me?
Thanks,
Michael.
Haha exact same thing happend to me with OxyZM, very strange coz iv used that rom before with no problems at all. I would press "T" and "M" would pop up, i was like wtf? Lol. I dont know why, tried a clean install of the rom but still the same, so i just changed roms back to the oldschool, android 2.3.3 and sense 2.1 haha.
I would like to know aswell, maybe just a dodgy download r something, or maybe we downloaded something that made it go crazy. Maybe some1 knows.

I guess the problem was with gingerbread 2.3.5. I installed leedroid's rom with android 2.3.3 and the problem is gone

[Q] Help: Gps not working as it should.

Hey guys,
My gps isn't working accurate.
First off it worked pretty good but when I changed to a custom rom (android revolution Hd) it didn't anymore.
When i use google maps, it takes a damn long time to get a fix on my position and when it does it stays accurate for about 5 seconds and then it starts to change to a street next to me then to another side... etc. . Also when i am standing still it jumps for my location to 50meters ahead of me and behind me, changing my speed to 20km/h ... I think you get the problem. Also the same problem on navigon (navigation software) it is constanly rerouting me because of the inaccurate position. So its not an application issue.
I flashed the rom as it should be, with boot.img through fastboot and zip file in cwm. Except for the gps there are no other issues.
Then i flashed the original rom in cwm with boot.img in fastboot, still the same problem.
I then tried CM10 and it became even worse... every 20 seconds it gave me a position update in maps and with navigon there wasn't even a update because it couldn't get a fix.
And i also used fasterfix on every rom except the original one (not rooted) to set my gps to europe.pool.ntp.org or something like that...
Now i am trying to revert to android revolution HD but first my battery has to be charged above 10% and it goes damn slow because of the bricked boot (made a mistake while changing form CM10 to And rev HD) Can't flash the and rev HD yet but does somebody in the meantime know a solution ?
Somebody ??
Could it be a problem with the kernel ? because i didn't flash one separatly
Does somebody has a solution ?
Unfortunately, I also have the same problem with rom coredroid and igo primo aid to some expert please
thanks
I had the same issue when I moved from Stock to the Modaco Ir5 Vanilla ROM, my GPS didn't even go as far as finding my location inaccurately, it didn't work at all. Hence I couldn't use my maps/navigation.
I am now running the Slim Bean ROM and everything is working great. I am no expert, but have you always done the usual 'full wipe data > clear cache partition > clear Dalvik cache' while flashing new ROMs?
For your charging issue, maybe try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646135
My phone is now allright but you i'll try the rom you are speaking about and see if the gps works better.
and... Also tried another kernel (eternity) but it still didn't work
I had this issue and had it fixed after sending my phone to service 3 times.
The first time they only did a reset, didn't help.
Second time they changed the wifi, GPS module, didn't help.
I sent them a recording of the problem on the third time. This time they changed the motherboard and it finally got fixed.
Remember to tell them that the issue is specially visible when GPS and WiFi are both on.

[Help] Screen Issue

Okaii so my htc was working all normally , suddenly the screen touch stopped resonding , once i restart it , it works for like a minute then stops , but sometimes it doesn't work at all , i want to know if it's hardware related or software , it's rooted and it has ARHD , i did a nan droid restore to stock but the issue is still there.. help ?
( Also no touch in CWR , i use the volume buttons.. )
No touch in cwm is probably due to the used version of cwm. But the inside the running OS you should not have that issue !
It was on arhd & stock, my guess .... hardware issue !

Well i wish it's a hardware issue because after all the things i have done , from nandroid to CID getting to restoring and everything , nothing worked ! i was on ARHD 33.1 for like a whole month and noting happened , just one day it stopped and started this glitching :/ so you recommend fixing the screen or something wired inside it ?
I cant recommend anything, im not a hardware guy .....sorry.
