i've been having an issue since CM7 build 5 and now with build 6 where my softkeys stop functioning when i go into my emails and i have to turn the screen off and then back on again prior to being able to hit the back button to get out of my email. has anyone else had this issue or know away to avoid having this happen in the future?
TYIA
+1... I too have been having this issue on cm7 but not just in the email application. In pretty much any application the 4 soft keys stop functioning and don't allow me to use them so I too have to shut the screen off and turn it back on for them to work. This is my biggest issue with cm7 as everything else seems to be working flawlessly and I would really appreciate any insight into this matter as well.

I've been having the same problem a lot too. It tends to happen with Handcent most often. I can't tell what's causing it either.
I started having this issue, but only after I enabled the "press menu key to unlock" option. Did you guys also do this?
No, my menu key isn't set to unlock the device, and I have found it happening in more and more applications.
Wondering if there's a setting that I just need to turn off or on to stop it.

guys, this is a known issue in cm7! the keys sometimes go out and you have to turn off the sscreen and turn it back on. no big deal

Ok, so is anyone else having any of these problems:
- When using camera, screen turns off and on when it tries to focus.
- Receiving SMS issues until reboot.
- Issues going from 4G to 3G, or 3G to or from WiFi, or 4G to WiFi.
- Screen responsiveness issues.
- Random rebooting.
- GPS issues.
Most problems are resolved after a reboot but then come back progressively as I use the phone. I'm rebooting 3-4 times per day. I thought this was Android, not BlackBerry...
I'm not rooted and have already factory reset like 2 or 3 times. My Dinc didn't even have this many problems. :/

Also, when listening to music for a certain amount of time, it just stops and then phone becomes unresponsive till reboot. Not sure if that is a PowerAMP issue or not.

Try flashing an update.zip rom of your device using recovery mode. Might need root. Depends on devices though. Mg N1 works without rooting.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Where would I be able to get that? And how do I boot into recovery? My Incredible was rooted and before the last update, it was power and volume down. Then after the update, it changed to power and volume up.
Also, I did reboot my phone and my camera still doesn't work. I'm going to try to clear the data from the application manager
UPDATE: Clearing data from camera didn't have an effect

I guess you should Google for the steps to go into recovery for Incredible... not familiar with it.
For the rom go search your build number on XDA. You can use custom ones too I guess.
But sometimes it goes 'signature verification failed. Action aborted'. Ask senior members for that. I cannot solve it.

What kind of screen responsiveness issues are you having? Mine seems to "slow" down a lot after a day and a half of uptime, a reboot fixes it but it's annoying to have to reboot that often just because the touch input slows down so much I can't use the phone.
Hi,
I have a Verizon Fascinate with latest stable CM7 7.1.
I do not have a custom kernel.
When I drive every morning to commute, I use a GPS application for traffic (Waze). While I drive on specific roads (I guess roads that shake the phone a lot), the phone triggers some buttons to be pressed, for example the back button gets triggers a lot, luckily Waze has a quit confirmation. Sometimes also the keyboard popups (that I don't understand how as there is no keyboard button).
This also was happening on my stock phone. I wanted to know if there is any kind of fix for that ?
I don't know for example disabling some bottom buttons while in car mod or during a specific application is launched ? For example with Waze I can quit the app using Menu button, so I could disable the back one. Even though Menu gets triggered sometimes too.
Thank you
If you are in low signal areas the mtd roms have phantom button presses. No fix unfortunately.

Yeah, Samsung did a real hack job on the RIL. Seriously, those guys couldn't even develop a cold...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Just searched for a similiar problem and came across this. This explains a lot of why my phone was going full stupid. Also on top of this, if you have a MTD ROM do not use the ROM Tools app from the market. It will glitch that hell out of the phone, like it has terets or something.
By the by, has there been any fix for this or such? I am running OMFGB. I love the ROM but hate the aforementioned glitch.
There is no "fix", but if you're on OMFGB, I'd highly recommend flashing glitch v13.1. Phantom button presses were always *drastically* reduced for me with that kernel. Not eliminated, but vastly improved.
Yes.. There is a fix.. It's in the glitch kernel. It's not complete, ssewxs was working on it. I use a cell booster at home and was plagued with them because of radio interference. He wrote some filters that filter about 90% of them.
It has been found that the root cause is radio interference on the unshielded key hardware. So a filter is probably the best you will get and is probably what Samsung used and kept Proprietary.

Are there any apps out there that are known to make the photon unresponsive? Mine is rooted, locked and stock. My phone will just lock up for 30 seconds or more. When trying to start an app nothing will happen for long periods until they finally starting. Also when typing in the browser, often the browser will just shut down while I am typing. Any ideas appreciated
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
you might try a battery pull, or a factory reset. has this started after you installed anything new? try a factory reset but dont install any programs and let it sync and run for a day or so to see if the problem persists. if it does, try unrooting back to 100% stock and see if the issue is still there.

I have a similar experience. From time to time, when I type, the letters appear in the keyboard app but not actually in the field in which I'd like to to type. And when this is happening, I am also not able to call ANYONE! I must reboot and sometimes do a battery pull to get things back in order. NOT COOL! What if I am in trouble and need to make a quick phone call? It might be too late by the time I pull out the battery and restart.
Actually the entire app (browser) closes while typing.
I removed a few suspect apps and it seems to have calmed down.......
Will see how it goes. I hate to have to nuke the whole phone and start over

happens to me too... even when doing a "fast reboot" it doesn't necessarily fix it either... doing that along with actually turning off and on seems to do it...
I am starting to suspect the car dock app. The phone starts acting up after I have used the dock

My phone randomly rebooted 7 times today and I don't even own a car dock! I cannot find the source of the problem(s). Btw, this is my 2nd phone for the same reasons. I haven't even put all of my apps back on it yet. I may do another reset to see what happens.
Title says it all just flashed the ROM and going to play with it for a few days since it is i knew i thought i would create a discussion thread cause i didn't see one, if there is one, my Bad hope we can find answers this ROM looks pretty fast, we can as a community use this for most general question rather then spamming the development thread.
So just wanted to put i noticed that some people said that data2sd didnt work but from what i read Ungazes interactive data2sd works fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042828 and i just flashed Darktremors stable version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940 and then installed his app from market and it seams to be working fine for me

CosmIcEXperia v3.1 - Unable to receive Calls
I flashed CosmIcEXperia v3.1 and was amused by the nimble performance however, I am facing an issue and seeking help from members.
Whenever somebody is calling me, he is getting a "Number is Busy" response. If this issue is resolved I will able to use this ROM as my daily ROM.
Thanks,
Ok here's my problem.
I installed the rom yesterday, and everything looked nice.
Today, I had an incoming call which I was unable to answer.
Few minutes later I took my phone from my pocket, and the screen did not go on and the phone had crashed.
After removing battery it booted up, but now:
1. my home button is not working
2. Screenlock is not working - the slide option is just not there. Pressing any button (including home button) just wakes the phone up.
3. BIGGEST PROBLEM - I cant receive incoming calls. Caller hears that the phone is busy, while I see no information about the call. Outgoing calls, SMS sending and receiving all work.
I also found similar thread from google, code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18742 (sorry, im not allowed to post links) and I have all the problems as the OP in the thread.
No other solutions given though, than to reflash or do hard reset. Any more ideas?

you need to wipe data , wipe dalvik cache and format system then reflash no one else has those problems
Only problem I am having is when I change my brightness, for example from low to high, when I lock then unlock my phone the brightness goes back to low.
It's kind of annoying but it only does it sometimes.

This happened to me too at first, but reflashed and everything and it fixed it and I haven't had the problem again.
I also made a nandroid backup of it with all the main apps I want and contacts just in case it happens again

Yea this happened in miks CM7 ROM to it has something to do with the theme chooser and the fact that most our themes are not meant for or phones

Widget "Power Control" does not work completely ...
I was using this ROM until yesterday, It's fast, but I've got problems with GPS on 3.1, then I flashed 3.0 and the buttons and check box was all messed.
I've tested it for 2 days, but then, a release of a new cyanogen came.
Hi,
I have a little stupid question about this ROM, namely anyone tested GTA III on our phones with this ROM and it working?
On official ROM 2.3.3 it doesn't work...
Sorry for my bad and poor English.
Guys i'm using this ROM but i don't know what to do to install one of the 2sd methods.
What you guys advise to use? link2sd? se2? ungaze?
And if not asking too much could you show me all the steps i've to do.
Thanks in advanced.
Edit:
I already try to use the three methods i mentioned (one at a time) but i couldn't make it work.
GPS not working
GPS is not working for me. When ever i am trying it comes from only Wireless Signal, not from GPS. GPS is important for me for every day use. Is there any tweaks or third party apps that serves my problem?

Hello!
First, let me please say that I am entirely new to the Android world (former iPhone owner). I absolutely love having a phone that runs on the Android system, but it is quite the adjustment! I'm slowly learning... or trying to.
A notification stating "Connected to Multimedia Station - multimedia station is currently connected" appeared on my phone. When this appeared, my phone was not connected to any other source. I am unable to exit out of this notification. Since it appeared, many aspects of my phone have changed and/or are not working. When the notification appeared, it altered my lock screen, home screen, and icons. Many apps will not open, and I receive an error message when I attempt to open them. In addition, my app store will no longer work. I cannot download any apps or make any updates. I receive error messages with those as well, and then the program force closes.
So, I guess my question is this: What in the world happened?? How do I exit out of this notification/program that randomly connected, and restore my phone to how it was previously?
Ok, so that's more than one question. I appreciate any and all assistance!
Ok, that even confuses me. Whenever it happened, do you by chance remember what you were doing? Plug it in to your comp? The wall? Anything? Have you tried rebooting or pulling the battery?

I actually was not using my phone when it appeared. My phone was simply on my work desk. When I had a moment, I picked up my phone to use it, and noticed what had happened. It was not plugged in to any source. I have not tried rebooting or pulling the battery... which seems like common sense to try, I'm sure, but I was afraid of messing it up even more! Just being cautious!
I would try to reboot and if you are unable to, then I would pull the battery.
Also, welcome to XDA and thanks for the thanks Make sure you hit the thanks button for those like the poster above me whenever someone helps you out. You're limited to only 8 thanks per day, so use them wisely

I, too, wish I knew from where this notification came. Rebooting does fix it, but only temporarily. The notification would appear again in only a matter of days. I have since installed a new rom, and I have not seen the notification since. Wonder if backing up the phone then wiping the cache would do the trick for good... but still, I also want to know why it happened in the first place!
