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
Mistake to Mistake
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.
All these OEMs should learn that touch technology is only for the screen and nothing else!

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)

Okay my issue is this. I have a Samsung Vibrant, The other day i broke my screen and i cant see anything. The phone still works fine (i can get all my calls and messages, i just cant see them). My phone is rooted and i was running triggers latest rom with clock work as my recovery. My problem is this I need to get my pictures and videos off this phone but i cant mount my usb because the touch screen isnt working. So i was wondering if i could do it through the recovery screen, problem is i cant see anything so i was hoping someone could walk me through the steps. I can only see one little corner of my screen so i know once im in recovery. I just need someone to tell me how many clicks to make with the volume buttons until i reach the usb mount feature. I tried looking for screen shots but none of them covered the usb mount feature. THANKS
6 clicks down on volume button>press power button> 2 Clicks up on volume button > press power button
THANK YOU!!!!!! i cant wait to get home and try this
if u have lookout free ur pictures will be backed up! so log into lookout from ur pc
You can also download droid explorer and do it that way. Usb does not have to be mounted

LOL, oh man I sure hope you get those clicks right! Hope you don't click it twice or not at all when you think you hit it once or sumthin. I'd find someone with a Vibrant root it and do the 2 phones side by side. Still kinda scary though. Better yet why not just replace the screen? Good luck man!
This may seem lame and I feel kind of dumb posting it but I cannot find a simple widget that just shuts off my g-tab. Every time I press the power switch I think about how light weight it feels and how important it is to mod the tablet. Using it everyday to start and stop the device seems like extra wear and tear for nothing. With all the other buttons virtualized, it would seem that there ought to be a simple "power off" button. My searches and subsequent downloads have turned up buttons that lock the screen, turn off wifi, show you the battery and probably display dancing hampsters but a simple "press this widget and the device powers off" has eluded me. Does anyone have one?
Quick Boot (Reboot) in Market
I've used it since it came out. This is free but I would recommend you pay for the upgrade.

WARNING!!!!
Do NOT ever use the Reboot Recovery option with this app. It will very likely throw you into a bootlop that requires you to use adb to correct. Just went through that a week ago. No fun.
hello can you help me? sam on my s2 ics installing 4.0.3 does not work on any side key medium pressure type vibration options for data connection ... ... and the screen freezes? Instead gingerbread installing everything works perfectly? done deep clean either 1 or 2! several times! and especially in the boot after installing the app does not exit the screen typical of different languages and configurations, but turns on as if I reboot and everything was already installed!

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.
thanks man....u mean to say that i should prefer rooting my galaxy s2 ics 4.0.3....ok then .... but the FYI code for fixing these didnt work without rooting....hope it works after rooting

You didn't search the right thing. I said your keystr file is missing. You didn't mention a keystr file anywhere there.
Google this: "site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 ics keystr"

Hi
Another problem... again... android... always some problem with it.
When i press "sym-au" key on phisical keyboard and scroll all the way down it freezes and stays there. It is possible to disable it, but it wont move, or clicking in any symbol has no effect completely unresponsive.
On virtual keyboard the same... blocking and unblocking device helps also restart. But its frustrating to remember about it. Is it any solution ? On stock rom there was no such problem.

Scroll the last part slowly (scroll it with your finger, don't fling it), it will stay responsive, if it does freeze, doing a rotation from landscape to portrait will make it respond again.

Thanks for tip. It helps.
So its known problem... this version of rom will be updated? Is there any way chance this will be fixed ?

NO, that ROM won't get any updates anymore, and the issue is present on just about all roms, apart from the original stock firmware. If it was easy to fix someone would have done that already, i guess, so i won't hold my breath.
Just think of it whenever you need something that's near the bottom, it's not that hard to live with.

Hi people. Is there a way I could turn off the touch button? It's too bright in a totally dark room and I read a lot at night.

I dont remember the stock ROM, but I use very happily Trebble/GSI/LineageOS 16 (with microG as I left Google completely) on my Palm, and there is Buttons Backlight option in System menu. I use standard Android navigation bar and touch button use as volume control (using Key Mapper).

I am too ignorant to compile Treble/GSI/LOS ROM by myself. I hoped there was an easier solution.
How long did it take you to do that? Coz i don't use anything Google myself and cleaning my Palm of it would be cool. I am just terrified of bricking it. It is very hard to get one where I am.
Can a total idiot succeed? Is there a way to back **** up in case something goes wrong and unbrick my Palm? The support section is really poor for Palm so I am afraid.
Thanks for your post.

I am pretty sure that as long as you only use sugar to flash everything you can never really brick the palm (as long as you are replacing the correct sugar downloaded files when you rename the system and boot images). I tried a bunch of Android 10 (LOS and AOSP) system images and never bricked it. As long as you can get to TWRP you can use adb reboot EDL to be able to flash back to stock using sugar. Just dont start flashing images in TWRP unless you are confident you know what you are doing, if you wipe/flash over EDL you would then be bricked.

I followed this post first: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/release-root-palm-phone-t4021201 and learned how to use Sugar. (I wanted root because of removing google's surveillance services.)
Then I followed this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-to-treble-gsi-palm-phone-t4101947 and learned to flash GSI using Sugar.
Finally I have chosen LineageOS 16 from Andy Yan's builds https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/ because phone calls were not working properly in LOS 17.1.
