Hi all,
I have a problem with my nexus one and I think that I can't send the nexus one to Vodafone to repair as I have unlocked the fastboot and I suppose that they will return to me as now, I have no warranty.
My problem with the nexus looks a hardware problem as my trackball sometimes it moves without touching it, you see the selection that moves (usually to the bottom), I have tried many things, different software versions (2.1 and 2.2) hoping that was a software problem but without success.
I don't know if I'm the only with this problem (I think not, because I found 1 person in another forum talking about the same problem).
Now my request, it is possible to disable by software the trackball movement? I don't use the trackball, only the color notification (If needed I can remove also the notification) to avoid the trackball sensor move and make the use of the phone anoying. I think that this is the only solution until someone discover howto re-lock the fastboot to revert the phone to a brand new phone and send to the technical dep.
Thanks!!
Well, if someone has another option/suggestion will be highly appreciated.

I really want the trackball movement disabled on a HTC Desire.
^ htc alrealdy did it... by not installing one
@OP
did u drop it in water recently?
i had similar problem, but instead of scrolling it was randomly clicking.. and it was because of water... spraying some wd40 solved my problem
Cleaning
Hi!
I will try your solution, by the moment what I have tryied is to cleaning with a high pressure air (in the company where I work) we have guns of high pressure air and I pressed the trackball and try to insert some air inside. I will see the result, if this don't solve it, I will try your fix.
Thanks!
I don't know a whole lot about android, but it being a linux type solution can't we just stop the device from booting or loading at start up? This is an issue that plagues the eris and is currently bricking mine basicly because its so bad I can't use it. A flashable fix would be bueno for this devs +1
I've made a custom kernel hack off of FlyKernel-12a for Hero to solve this issue for me. I'm sure it can be done in a similar way on the N1.
I changed a list in the board-hero-keypad.c from:
static uint32_t hero_y_axis_gpios[] = {
HERO_GPIO_JOGBALL_UP_0, HERO_GPIO_JOGBALL_DOWN_0
};
to
static uint32_t hero_y_axis_gpios[] = {
/*HERO_GPIO_JOGBALL_UP_0,*/ HERO_GPIO_JOGBALL_DOWN_0
};
and thus making it never scroll up since that is what my problem was.

I'm trying to figure out how to solve the problem of typing while I'm on the phone. For example, if I get a call, and need to type out a new appointment, I'll start typing on the built-in keyboard and instead of letters, I'm getting some numbers and symbols instead.
I'm sure this has something to do with the phone app, but it's a real pain to have to peck things out on the screen keyboard.
Does anyone know if there's a way around this?
Thanks
am suffering from the same problem, its not a problem but meant to be like that but am sure there is some kind of a tweak in the registery to fix the behavoir
Dito here, please post if fix is found.
use the onscreen keyboard
but its too much of a hastle, am sure its a registry thingii
Always deny, the same old HTC strategy!
Is a well Known WM6 bug in the HTC devices with keyboard. Well known to everyone, but denied from HTC!!
Same bug is in the Hermes ROM, in the beginning they said they will fix it but in my knowledge they haven't, just starting to DENY the problem!
Same old HTC story: deny, deny, deny, as in the HERMES screen misalignment, Trinity Start Meny problems, black Trinity peeling off.....
I asked about PK 2.0 rom but none answers....
Looks like this is a good lead:

Hi all
I have got a new sony x10 mini pro, and have an odd issue that seems a design floor.
When on a call my ear constantly presses the mute button and mutes people.
any one know of a way to remove the mute button on the interface or another app that can be used for in call functions.
any advice would be much apreiciated.
thank you

Place rthe phone closer to the ear so that the proximity sensor disables rthe screen

i have d same issue n keep muting calls
I have posted the same issue here
I use hands free but it is still easy to press with the side of your hand if you are holding the phone...
I notice on my phone the touch still works outside the screen border. and it sometimes goes on speaker or mute

Really need a fix for this. Mostly the mute button is the problem, but i have had the loudspeaker activated a few times too.

This is really annoying.

I really nead a solution for this.
I was also annoyed with this, so I made an app that launches it self after accepting the call to avoid the issue. The app can be found at my site on paxanima DOT net (can't post URLs yet, apparently)
I just made it, so not too much real life testing, but seems to do the trick.

Good work on that, thats a start.
But can someone just remove the goddamn mute button? UHHH!
It's too complicated for me. I think i installed like 4-5 apps but still couldnt get to the point where you can get the apk from the phone.
True, this is very annoying. SE has received plenty of complaints so I hope they're working on a solution. I am wondering if installing any of the new custom roms would sort out the issue for me since waiting for SE updates is a nightmare.
My problems started when I first updated to 2.1 where it happened in more than half of calls and got better with the last update and now happens only occasionally.
i never had that problem but i think that costum rom will help for these prob.
sory for bad english
Yeah, you have to be careful. Hold your phone from the back to avoid touching the front sides and slowly approach it to your head (the proximity sensor is at the top left of the phone). I'm pretty sure I look like a retard while doing so but hey, better than having the person on the other end saying "hello? is there anybody here? hello?".
Same here
This issue has also been annoying me from the beginning, and on every release of the SE standard ROMS. I don't understand why some people have the issue and others don't. Maybe it has something to do with the shape of one's ears??
No seriously, when i do some tests, like calling to my voicemail and then holding the phone in my hand, on some occasions the phone goes black after covering the proximity sensor with my finger, and sometimes the phone does not react at all when covering the sensor. So maybe some processes that are running prevent the proximity sensor from working correctly.
Would it be possible to adjust the semcphone.apk to have no mute button at all? I never use this option anyway.
Or is it only possible to change the shape and color of the icons/images.
As far as I know. When ever you made a call or answering call, the screen will turn off, right after you place the phone on your ear... So there's should be no pproblem answering or making call and suddenly pressed the mute button with own ear. Im using the same phone, and making almost 20 to 30 calls a day. And never even once encounter the problem as stated.

I get this problem once in awhile too. I have to bring the phone to my ear slowly.
can't we just replace the dailer APK with something from HTC or something?
I also hate the current contact list, theres no smart search.
Yes you can. But it has to be ported with some mod for it to work.

Hi there!
First time I need to make a topic, as I don't find the answer anywhere..
Had my Touchpad since about two weeks.
However the accelerometer has not functioned at all since I got it.
First thing to check is the auto rotation lock -> it's turned off
Second thing I did was download a sensor visualizer app -> Seismograph.. This shows very weird results for the x-axis (see attached file), fyi, the Y and Z-axis functioned as expected..
Then the third thing I tried, Need For Speed Hot Persuit... A game that uses the X-axis accelerometer (right!?)
This works brilliant!
Other things I have done to troubleshoot this:
Restart the device.
Full reset the device.
Run HP doctor.
All have failed in resolving my problem.
As I've bought the touchpad from a french webstore (fnac.com), HP Netherlands (where I'm from) tells me I need to get back to them for a solution, as they don't offer worldwide repair (unlike ASUS for example).
Fnac.com has not answered to my request to exchange the product (2 days after I got it). And actually I just want to solve it myself if possible, bought it for fun anyways (and reading of course xD)
Any ideas how I can make the OS recognize the accelerometer?
Last thing, the auto rotation functions in the following way: Tablet is stuck in landscape, I turn to portrait, screen turns as well, but within the second the tablet is back in landscape. This behavior can be read from the seismograph screenshot.
Thanks!
Hello
I just started a new thread for a different accelerometer problem (it is just dead)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284760
Was wondering how you ended up fixing your problem.
thanks
Just wanted to ask you the same question...
I still have the same problem. Need to contact Fnac.fr, but my french sucks and my time is scarce. So have been postponing this. My unit actually came DOA.. however Fnac didn't respond to my request, and has now asked me to call them.. sucky service
You have no solution I guess?
Well this is odd..
Out of nothing the auto rotate function is working since today.. I noticed it while reading a PDF in Android. Booting back to WebOS didn't make a difference, the sensor is working again
I've got no clue what did the trick.. I have not updated the kernel or something like that lately.
I wonder if the sensor was kicked back into action by brute force (for instance my cat jumping on the tablet..)
Anyway, problem soved for now =D
Hey there,
Everytime I try to activate the front camera I either get a 'cannot open camera' error or just a black screen (even though I can change the settings), sometimes I just get a FC after few seconds.
I tried using different camera application and all I get is a black screen, some application allow me to take a picture but the result is just a completely black image.
I don't know what triggered the problem, it was pretty sudden. I was on CM7. Even after a complete wipe and flashing olympus rom, nothing has changed.
I tried cleaning the cache, rebooting, everything I can think of.
Looking for older threads in the forums didn't result any useful information.
Help would be very much appreciated.
bump?
Have you flashed a full blur ROM yet to make sure it isn't a hardware issue?
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
Lets say I go back to motion blur rom and nothing changes, will it confirm that it is certainly a hardware issue? Thanks for the respond.
I haven't mentioned it but the LED doesn't work too.
Its possible that a cable was knocked loose. If you verify it is a hardware issue, you can void your warranty and take apart your phone to try and fix it following instructions here: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/1
I dropped my phone in some water, and the volume up button was acting like it was always being pressed (really annoying when rebooting as it kept kicking into RSD mode). I managed to disassemble it and clean the button, and now it works great again.
Is the only way to verify is to install motion blur rom? If so, is there any recommendation for a specific rom that might give me the most accurate indication that it's a hardware issue?
Thanks for the quick respond.
I would say that as soon as you have tried a ROM with a different kernel, you have verified a hardware issue.
Changed to motion blur based rom, still dead.
I guess it's a hardware issue.
Btw I dont know why I wrote it's the front camera but I meant the back camera so if it's BACK Camera+LED Light and switching roms/format/hardreset didn't help so it's a hardware problem.
I'll try and contact Motorola since I still have warranty.
[Q] Touch screen decalibrated. Not hardware issue
Hi everybody! I own a cellphone Sesonn C2000 (mt6582), and like all cheap chinese phones, it has no support at all, so I'm very frustrated with this problem. My problem is that after a failed try to flash a custom recovery for it, using SP flash tools, touch screen didn't respond, and after a while began to respond but touches were very decalibrated. At principle, I thought it was a hardware issue, so I tried all advices about it: knocking gently the screen, putting cell phone into freezer, long pressing power button, and nothing of that worked (and now thinking, lucky me that cell phone didn't break by those actions) At the end, I decided to open it and watch by myself if it was something bad inside, but all was ok at sight. I also could see that the touchscreen's IC, is a goodix gt915. But what convinced me that issue wasn't a hardware issue, was that I tried, to flash another rom, that in another similar phone caused a similar issue, and touches changed their behavior as a I expected. I don't know much about it but i've read, that problem happens by flashing a wrong kernel (kernel inside a recovery or system. img), and by wrong kernel, I mean a kernel with a bad embedded touchscreen configuration. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway! I've tried touch recalibrate app, tscalibration2, htc calibration, touch screen calibration, none of them worked; I've tried many proposed adb batch files to fix that problem, tried to reconfigure tpd_def_calmat file, and nothing. Even I'm exploring an app called gtp adb tool from goodix company, but despite I've translated to english all what exe lets to translate, still left many items on chinese (I used resource hacker, and all that it let me to change, I translated it) and, not being enough all that, there are too much technical items on it, and its manual, oh surprise: It's in chinese! ... Anyway!
Going to the point, I understand that must be a misconfiguration of the touchscreen, so, how must I reconfigure it? or if you see I'm totally lost on my search ¿what can I do to recover my touch screen? beforehand thanks whom can help me.
PS1: Fortunately, more knowing it's a cheap one, this phone has OTG support, so I still can control it, but I miss its touch function so please help me.
PS2: Apologize me any fault on my english. I'm a spanish speaker.
