Not sure if anyone can give some advice on this...
If the battery goes dead or if for some reason the phone has to start up,
It goes back to inital config!! - ie: - tap screen to start, set up the phone etc...
all apps, settings etc have gone, as if its a new phone!!
Its highly frustrating and wondered if anyone can help.....
thanks
......just wondering, does the phone have a small battery that keeps its memory??
maybe that needs changing??
Try a hard reset.
how do I do a hard reset?
thanks
is this right??........
# remove the battery cover.
# observe that by the USB port, there is a small indentation. This is the reset switch access.
# Keep the slider closed.
# power the phone on.
# press the “talk” and “end” buttons; while holding them down, use the stylus to probe into the reset switch hole at a 45 degree angle to the major axis of the phone.
# when you get to the “press enter to reset the phone” page, press the center dpad
yep, thats right
didnt work,
when I reset or battery dies etc. It reboots back, as if its a new flash....
have you tried changing the radio and/or the rom?

I Had exactly the same problem
I tryed all the 6.5 rom in this forum and the problem continues
i also tryed changing the radio.
I tryed a 6.1 rom and get the same rhing.
The only solution was flashing the original rom from htc
There is some strange error in this new roms.
I have the same problem!!

The only way to get the phone running again was to install the original htc rom
And it has to be this one:

Thanks for the solution, now it works.

Done a search and can't find a solution...
With the 'easy to press' buttons on the HD2 the phone screen keeps powering on in my pocket (I use phone lock to stop auto dialling).
This is draining the battery...
Any way to stop this happening? Say, have just the power button only turn on the screen, after a long press for example???

Try settings / system / keylock settings. There are options to set the buttons as non responsive except for the power button.

I have this same issue and I've got a stock 3.14 tmobile rom but when I go to settings / system /, there is no options for keylock settings. is that on a custom rom?
+1 for this
From new my phone used to have the option of locking all buttons except the power key ... until I did my first hard reset, then it vanished! I would have thought the settings app would have been in the ROM, so restored after the hard reset, but obviously not.
Anyone have a cab for it or care to extract it from their HD2?
<quote>Try settings / system / keylock settings. There are options to set the buttons as non responsive except for the power button.</quote>
Nope, no such option on my HD2...
Seems we need 'keylock.exe'
Anyone got it and know if it will work in an HD2?
Ok, at least I know I'm not unique now...
i've installed Hd2ProximityScreenOff-0.2.cab which I guess turns the screen back off quickly if an "in-pocket" button press brings the screen to life. (can't confirm what happens in my pocket, but seems to do the trick in my hand)
but I'd really like to know if someone knows how to get to this keylock setting

Take a look at my signature. I'm using NRG ROM, which I highly recommend.

ahh crap, noob mistake. sorry.
any chance you can dig up where "settings / system / keylock settings" points?
maybe it points to something already in the stock rom?

i can install the stock rom update right from tmo, and install cabs and crap, but not yet ready to make the leap to customer roms (or android for that matter)
try pocketshield software. it has feature that turns your screen immediately off if its in pocket etc with proximity sensor, also its great and cool.
Hey everybody
I just expose my problem
1-the Folio 100 i bought is a new brand (received yesterday)
2-I turn on my Folio 100, just in beginning they is no light on the 4 buttons,
i wait android to boot and in the homescreen i try to use the 4 buttons, nothing happens, no light
3- i decide to install the Foliomod without wipe (because the home button like the 3 another button don't have any light, i try to press the buttons many time, still nothing)
4- I install foliomod successfully without wipe everything work better but still the problem of the 4 buttons (no light and don't work)
5- I install different recovery.img but impossible to use it, it's simple, when i press the power button, don't have any light on the 4 buttons, look like the 4 buttons are desactivate on boot mode or anything else
I was wondering if anyone have the same problem ?...
I battle with that, i try to do a reset mode with the button near the battery, get off the battery (power button hold like do a clear CMOS) still nothing
I'm tired to send the Folio back
I really want to fix it, they is no way to fix this problem ?
Thanks !
one thing i find pretty annoying is the fact that to press the buttons you have to make contact with your whole finger.
I dont mean to make presure, I mean to make contact with a large portion of skin than just taping the button.
I got my folio one week ago and I am still getting used to it.
Maybe you already tried to tap the buttons in several ways but... this is the only thing I can think of right now.
By the way... the default behavior es to have the lights off and to turn them on for a second when you tap the buttons.
I hope this helps...
Thanks but if you check what i said, i can't use the buttons.
Usually the home button you can use it on recovery mode but i can't do anything, it's like the 4 buttons don't exist, like desactived.

If the home button don't work on recovery mode, i don't think folio widget can help, foliomod 1.4/1.3 has already a folio widget and changing the value of the sensitivity didn't change anything
I think the problem is more on the boot of the folio, didn't activate the 4 buttons

When we press the power button have a small boot sequence, it's probably this boot sequence make many problem.
I try to erase the boot and change it on fastboot mode but it always fail.

bootloader is closed source.. probably needs re-designed, and we havent seen any updates of it, since their update.zip probably cannot write a new one..
i think they forgot to add support for updating it..
just like the full wipe with power button, probably also a mistake..
That what i was thinking

This reminds me the TG01 (phone by toshiba, really suck)
Hi, I bought a crashed folio just to see inside it's guts and found that those bastard buttons are a board on its own.
I'm going to reverse engineer those signal and replace them with push buttons.

i think Google figured this out for us since they invented touch buttons somehow..
Unbelievable!
The chip on the capsense board is a PIC16F722 from MicroChip!!!
PIC16F722 <--- difficult to program and too much problem on it, they use this on clone phone in China.
I sent back my Folio, i don't know if i get a new one or wait for the XOOM or iPad 2 (but don't make any sens without USB/Thunderbolt, SD card etc)
I am not sure since when I have this. Seems like since I installed either the game Steambirds or since I started changing the screen density (which is now back to 240), using Font Changer or the non-market app: LCD Density Changer.
I tried wiping, new ROM, new kernell, but it won't be fixed.
The problem:
Along a big vertical area, the touchscreen thinks I am at the edges of that area. EDIT: Turns out that sometimes it works again, but mostly when it does, something else happens. The screen starts to think I press on random places, making him press buttons and stuff. Sometimes the screen doesn't even work, only the physical home button!
I'll try to illustrate using the following explanation of the problem (values are not correct, it's just about the idea):
along the x axis, 0 to 260 pixels work fine. When the pixels from 260 to 340 are pressed on the touchscreen, the phone thinks I am pressing at 260 AND at 340 (as if I am using 2 fingers). From 340 to the end of the screen it works fine again.
What do I have to do to fix this? And I flashed my phone a couple of times, will samsung still fix it if I send my phone (I feel like my screen is broken)?

How do I reset the counter? And isn't it weird that I got this problem? Or am I not the first one to have this with VillianROMs? I can hardly imagine that it is because I am not on stock rom. I'll try a stock ROM out soon. (Or did you simply answer the question about samsungs warranty?)

Search its in dev section Binary Counter reset .

Working fine here possible bad flash .

Both as in warranty and to clear a problem flash back to clean stock rom .

To the people of Turl's and Jokersax' CM9.
I have a touchscreen re-calibration app, I just tested it out and it seems to be working perfect. Don't hold me to it, but i think this is a pretty good temporary fix.
I'd love feedback, i didn't code this but after a few searches i was able to realize this is a universal fix for touchscreens that have been acting up.
Special thanks to gojimi. At least i hope.
Can you link the source please.
Cheers!
Just a question, do we actually need touch calibration after flashing cm9? Cause AFAIK, when I tried the jokersax rom, the only problem I had was app incompatibility and APN errors...

I know what you mean, sometimes homework takes away most of my time too. But just use CM9 as your daily driver, and you'll be well informed on any issues that will occur.
This actually screwed up my touchscreen..anyway to uninstall?
Hi,
I have a software issue with my touchscreen :
1/ Got stock ROM, then CM7, then CM7-Neutrino-2.2 => screen was OK
2/ Installed CM9-Turl-v8 => an unresponsive horizontal line appeared, around 100px high
3/ Tried to come back to CM7, CM7-Neutrino, CM9-Joker-0.4 => bug still there
4/ Tried this calibration app, but couldn't click the button because it was under the unresponsive line, so turned the phone into landscape or upside-down to execute => bug still there
5/ Flashed PDS fix => bug still there, fear of a hardware issue
6/ Installed CM9-Joker-0.5 with awesome Installer => touch screen goes totally crazy (phantom-touches), BUT the line is finally responsive !! So, le wild idea appears
7/ Retried this calibration app, this time in the right way => SCREEN FINALLY OK !!!...
8/ ... For about 2 hours... Now my phone combines 2 issues : a new horizontal line is unresponsive (thinner than the old one), and crazy phantom-touches happen really often...
I was desperate, but now I know my problem is software, I see hope ! Am I the only one to have this problem ?
Thank you in advance

Means you are probably missing your keystr file. The fix has been discussed dozens of times already. Please search for this. FYI, you will need root to implement the fix.
