trackball opening bluetooth menu - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what I did wrong.
All of a sudden my trackball has begun to act up. Its nothing major I just figure out what I must of hit or what setting I might of changed by accident.
Whats happening is that when I try to take a picture with the trackball it opens up a bluetooth menu and I dont have a bluetooth connected to the phone. Also the trackball scrolls fine but has been having issues selecting things in recovery.
I was wondering how I can fix this and I recently switched roms was on ginger tazz sre 27 but switched to aosp tazz v4 and I figured switching roms would fix it but it didnt. Thank you for any help.

I had trackball issues with my Eris as well. I was able to find a video on youtube giving step-by-step instructions on taking the Eris apart and cleaning the trackball. It has worked fine ever since. I was amazed how dirty the inside of the phone actually was. it ran much better once reassembled.

That post fixed my problem, as well as fixed the problem which the data connection turns off after a call.
Hey guys, sup?
I have a huge problem with my TELUS Touch Pro. Great phone, but just one problem...
Whenever somebody calls me, I can't answer the phone. The onscreen "Answer" button doesn't work, the Talk button doesn't work, pressing the Select button doesn't work...pressing the headphone button does, but sometimes my headphones are in my pocket, or sometimes they're not with me at all!
The only way I can answer them is by ignoring the call, and calling them back. It sucks big time.
Anybody have a solution? And no, I'm not hard-resetting my phone. It started doing this for my first call, so I'm pretty sure it's not my fault.
HEEAAALLLPPP!!!
Is this the stock ROM?
Do you have BT on and connected?
Mine started doing that yesterday. I did a hard reset and so far everythings back to normal. Still do not know what it was tho
I just had my TP replaced and the new one did the same thing, I did not notice until a few days later as I use a bluetooth headset and pushing the answer key on the headset worked. I had to RTN the device to make it work properly. Have not had a problem since. it has been aabout a week and a half.
Sometimes I've noticed this happens when my memory is tied up elsewhere, ie media player or something. Try soft resetting your phone every morning that might help clear it up.
I have had this happen with me on my Titan which I recently traded in for my Touch Pro, and also on my Touch Pro. I noticed it coincided with installing iGo8 GPS software on both. A hard reset was the only way I found to fix it. Uninstalling the software did not do the trick. I could be wrong about the software title I am blaming, but I have everything reloaded on my phone except that, and all is well. I do have a Slide To Answer incoming call screen now with the MightyRom 4.9.5 rom installed, maybe this is a work around, don't know for sure. If anyone else has more feedback, let me know. I would love to find a fix for it so I can use my GPS software.
Mine started doing this crap last night. I reinstalled the S2A cab and just let it go.
I am starting to think it might just be the telus network being a boatload of suck. Mine does it with the stock rom without any programs loaded from time to time. I am thinking it must be the tower failing to acknowledge that you want to answer the call, so the phone keeps ringing becuase it sees there is an incoming call but the tower ignores that you are trying to answer it. This is just my guess based on what I have read about CDMA, I wonder if any GSM users have the same issue.....
Do any of you have Advanced Configuration installed? This is what caused this problem for mine and my brother's TP. Uninstalling didn't fix it. Had to hard reset.
Yes, this is a known issue with Advanced Config, perhaps some other apps as well. Try this fix.

I can tell you that this will more than likely fix this for you. Mine was doing the same thing, applied this, done and shut! Good luck.
OMG OMG OMG thanks!!!! That also fixed the problem where it ended the data connection after the call.
Sorry I took so long, I THOUGHT I was subscribed to the thread...
Thanks again!

Car bluetooth causing phone to crash

I just bought a new car recently and when I try to pair my Fascinate with the car bluetooth, my phone slows down considerably, won't successfully complete calls, and eventually locks up, forcing me to do a hard reset. My car's bluetooth program locks up as well. One time I got an error message on my phone saying services.exe had to force close. At first I thought the problem was with the car, but my dad's Droid Incredible works beautifully on it.
My phone is rooted w/o lagfix, and has launcher pro. It's also been de-binged and has other basic bloatware removed. I don't use taskillers either. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
I have been having this issue for a while now. I'm currently on stock ED01 and it is almost consistently happening when I end a call. After the call is over and I hang up, the phone does a silent FC with bluetooth being the cause (silent FC = 1 vibrate followed by 2 short vibrates).
When using the stock kernel, the FC is hit or miss. I can maybe get a FC after a 2nd call. When using ANY of the custom kernels built by the devs here, bluetooth will consistently crash after a call is over.
Just like the OP said, the phone will crash and will become very unresponsive. If the phone is responsive and I manage to turn bluetooth off then on again, it MIGHT connect back to the car.
It seems like no one else is experiencing this? Or maybe not a lot of people use bluetooth calling with their Fascinate? I went back to stock just to see if it was a kernel or ROM issue and while it works a bit better, it's still not 100% working. I'm hoping there is someone out there who has working bluetooth calling with their car. I had the T-Mobile G2x for a week and that phone worked perfectly (as far as bluetooth was concerned).
Anybody?

I'm also having this same problem with my Bluetooth crashing after my first call ends when using following:
ROM ComRom 1.3
Kernel TW with Voodoo Sound+BLN+UV+Misc tweaks 4/15 by jt1134
Radio ED04
2011 VW Jetta SEL (just purchased a few weeks ago)
I'm thinking to go back to stock as well but would prefer some kind of fix or even a workaround over doing that.
Yesterday I was able to make 3 calls with no crashes at all for the first time ever.
MIUIwiz 1.1
OTB kernel 1.6 - no mods in voltage control
ED04 modem
(No Longer Resolved) The ROM was the Problem with Bluetooth

Excellent!!! Thank you for this! I already had the ED04 modem so that wasn't the problem. Last night I updated my kernel and this morning I tried again with no success so the kernel wasn't the problem. Later this morning, I loaded up the MIUIwiz 1.1 ROM and on the way home from work, I tested 4 calls and viola SUCCESS!!! ComRom 1.3 was the culprit and even though MIUIwiz is based on ComRom, somewhere along the line Bluetooth in the ROM was fixed.
Thanks again DeezNotes!
Edit: My problem is back as well now. Any ideas? Problem started last night when I attempted to make a second call while connected via bluetooth. I was able to make two calls this morning then upon ending the second call, I received the one long vibrate followed by two short indicating something crashed and then the phone would no longer connect.
On the same setup, the problem is back. Its actually a lot worse than before. I actually noticed crashes from Pandora when hanging up a call and Pandora wasn't even running (for days). Even after uninstalling Pandora, still get plenty of consistent crashes after hanging up a call. Interestingly enough, this is with an Audi, so hearing the issue is with a VW isn't far off from what I'm seeing since those cars are typically very identical.
I'm trying out a different phone on a different carrier [again] later this week. If all goes well, I'm going to chalk it up to Samsung and their lack of QC. I would say it's an Audi/VW issue, but I've successfully used the same features with a Blackberry and an LG G2x. Later this week I'll try the HTC Sensation and see how things go. Based on my experiences so far, this might be the last Samsung smart phone I'll ever get.
Bluetooth drivers issue - causing crashes.
Hello. found this thread whilst searching the internet for a related problem, just thought I'd add my experience on the matter.
The issue you are all experiencing is due to a bug in Broadcoms bluetooth stack. More specifically anything to do with listening for a bluetooth service then opening and closing a RFCOMM SPP connection to anything else (maybe a bluetooth OBD2 adapter) will cause either the BTLD process to consume 100% cpu (and make the device run slowly) or cause a kernel panic and reboot.
This is also related, but a slightly different bug (again Broadcoms drivers at fault):

Handsfree Bluetooth Problem is Back

I have the same issue with ED05 de-bloated, stock kernel.

[Q] Atrix Touchscreen freeze in 2.3.4 build

Does anyone else experience this with the new leaked 2.3.4 HKTW build? Or is it just my Atrix?
Yeah I exp. It as well but I notice my screen becomes in responsive and so do the touch keys. Only the power button and volume rocker work.
I've only experienced this while on a phone call though to be honest. Like when I'm on hold and I'm.checking Facebook or I'm looking something up on the web while on a call. But I definitely think it's a bug in hktw build 2.3.4 cause I beverage had a problem before with it.
I tried looking through the forums and haven't seen any other complaints untilled this one so maybe its just a few of us. Can any one else confirm this or is there a fix some where?
Sent from my unlocked//rooted ATRIX
mine works fine...
Happens to mine all the time. Fixes itself after turning the screen off.

when mine freezes even locking phone with the power button and waiting a few seconds to turn it back on doesn't help it still stays un-responsive at the lock screen. I'm actually noticing it happening more and more frequent. or I'm just multi tasking more and more frequent lol idk cant wait for a USA build as apposed to this HKTW build but hey i got to say its definitely pulling me through this month of waiting for it ;P
Mine happened a few times a few days ago...then once the day after, and not since. Been like 4 days now.
i've a cyanogen 7 in my wildfire, and start happens and i dont know why, i've this rom from 3 months and never heard such a thing, hope some one can help fix this.
I've have done a hard reset and nothing
Mine did that already in 2.2 , back then the fix was to lock and unlock the screen. That would always fix the issue, at least until next time. Now in 2.3.4, it still happens, but if I wait 15-20 seconds it usually fixes itself. Looks like Motorola applied some fixes but didn't fix the issue completely.
Bell ATRIX Gobstopper 2.3.4
well guys, i solve the problem for now....
solution:
1º make sure that you have a backup prior to the problem (original stock or other thing), if not you might have to install the room from set one.
2º retrieve you sd card, make a backup of some things that you dont want to lose (like pictures, ring tones, mp3 etc) and leave a folder with a backup that you have, next format sd card in fat32 and put the things that you save (note, dont do all the backup of sd card, like the folders with .com... and android folders etc)
3º go to clockworkmod recovery, by restarting to recovery, wipe all data, like the firs time you install the custom rom, now go to backup and restore and do restore to your backup.
4º Restart and voila, that works for me...i figure that was some app that might cause the problem,(thinking on ndrive 11) im going to test now, but it works.
cheers and post something that might help some one
Gingerbread Problem

sound volume vibrant

Hello all,
I've tried searching via post new similar topic suggestion box but did not find anything.
But my question is this.
my vibrant sometimes randomly resets the sound volumes- incoming call/media/system/notification all of them.
Sometimes they are jacked all the way up sometimes really low.
does anyone have the similar experience? anyone know what's going on?
Thanks!
have you tried either
1.flashing a new rom
2.odin back to stock
So are you saying that for example you go to sleep and the volume setting is at maximum, but when you wake up its mysteriously set to low, then you look at it in an hour or so and its back up to maximum again? Thats how I understood the OP am I correct?
hello,
i'm on bionix 1.3.1 and i've done a fresh install. I ODIN'd to stock and flashed bionix.
Yes that's right, the volume randomly would be changed. It seems to occur at random. I guess I'm the only one with this issue....
I know its a little joke with all our devs who like to set our default sound notifications to silent on the initial flash. Thats what I was originally thinking was happening to you. But I never heard of this problem ur experiencing. I would think if a fresh ODIN & install didn't correct your issue it might be hardware defect, but even thats hard to believe. Good luck!

[Q] Intermittent voice issues

So I have run in to a bit of a snag, and though I doubt it is ROM specific, I thought I'd start by asking here to see if anyone else has run across this and might have a fix
I first noticed it when I was running ShiftAO5P 3.2, and though I didnt specifically think 3.2.1 would fix it, I tried that, and now the problem has come back.
The gist of the issue is that if I havent used my phone to talk to someone for some unspecified length of time, when I call someone, they cant hear me. I can hear them just fine, but they can't hear anything from my end. If I hang up, and call right back, then it all works fine. Also, it is fine if they call me - works right away without having to re-make the call.
Like I said, I did a complete reload to get to 3.2.1(full wipe, and even reformatted sd card), and since I suspected the tiamat kernel and the call recorder app I had been using under 3.2, I didnt reload those pieces and stuck with just the stock 3.2.1
Everything seemed OK for about the first week or so, but now it is doing the same thing again.
I am guessing it is some app, but I have no idea how to try to chase it down.
I have a logcat that I just dumped right after the problem happened, but dont really know what process to look for.
Any suggestions? TIA!!!
