[Q] Photon and BUTTON_UP actions - Motorola Photon 4G

As discussed in the following link,
http://community.developer.motorola...for/Spurious-ACTION-UP-MotionEvents/td-p/8038 ,
there is an issue with some moto phones and the Photon is affected. If you hold down a button, for example, like the talk button in Tikl, a BUTTON_UP event will be generated after 20 or so seconds.
As mentioned in the above link, this is Motorola's attempt at preventing false touches and they say that for now, they are not addressing it. This can obviously be bad for users of Tikl as well as some games.
I mention this for two reasons. First, I would have liked to know this before buying and others may as well. Though some may disagree, I find this to be huge. It isn't enough to return the otherwise amazing phone. But had I known beforehand, I may have thought about it more.
Second, I am wondering if it is possible for any of the devs to address this? Or would this be a part of the software that only Motorola can address?
Thank you for any input on this.

Any information on this? Certainly I would think the inability to use apps that require long touches might generate some interest?

Well perhaps this bug is really just a feature of In-Pocket Protection. I wonder if this happens with In-Pocket Protection disabled. I keep it disabled because I use a holster and haven't noticed any problems. When I saw that post on the Motorola forums I assumed that person had In-Pocket Protection enabled and didn't realize it can be disabled in the settings menu. I didn't say anything because I don't know what the hell Tikl is and didn't want to impart false wisdom on the lad.
If I hold the volume up button when on home screen the ringer volume appears and doesn't disappear until I release. After holding it for 40 seconds I choose to release which is acknowledged by an audible tone. In other words I fail to see a problem.

First of all, to explain, Tikl Touch to Talk is a walkie talkie like program. The buttons I refer to are on screen buttons. One example is the talk button that appears onscreen while in Tikl. If you press it and start talking as you are supposed to, after about 20 seconds, the phone's software will send a button up event telling the program that you stopped touching the button on the screen and thus release the microphone. The same will likely happen in android games that use on screen game pads or anything program that has on screen buttons where you sometimes need to hold them down for more than 20 seconds.
So in pocket detection does not seeem to fix it. I wonder if some kernel tweak can be done?

Ahh so now I understand exactly what you are talking about. What I don't understand is why it happens to me in 12-13 seconds. I've to press and hold my finger on the soft keys of multiple apps and sure enough in every application that I've tried, it automatically has the Button_Up event in 12 seconds or so.
Why is mine faster than others? Why is it even happening at all? I'm running the leaked MR-3 build. What about you?

Yeah. That's more or less the case for me too. Motorola in that thread claims 20 seconds but that's often not the case. I hope this can be addressed by some of the devs. I wonder if this has been tackled with the other Droid series phones since I think they suffer from this "feature" as well.

It's quite annoying when using Heytell

Yeah. Heytell is another one of those apps where this problem shows up. It's a shame since this is not a fault with the hardware but rather a conscious decision made by Motorola in their programming. I see where they're going with wanting to protect against false touches but they really should let us turn it off even if it's on a per program basis. How on earth this isn't a bigger issue than it is is beyond me.

Droid X2 automatically getting out of silent mode

This is happening on CM7DX2. Never happened before, but it is very annoying and can potential cause me minor trouble in class. I will test it again to check if it is still doing it.
What a piece of turd. This phone should get an award or something for the worst piece of ****ty tech in the whole wide world. Unless there is a setting somewhere that I set incorrectly. But why would such a setting exist? It is useless and I think my phone is misbehaving here..
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I use silent mode 2-3 times per week while in meetings that can last up to 3 hours and have never had this problem. And those times when I forget to turn it off it stays silent. I also don't have it set to vibrate at any time so if you have that on it may be part of the "scenario" that causes your problem. Sorry i don't have any more info to offer.

I've had that problem for a long time. I'm on stock 2.4. Seems to go out of silen mode most often when the battery is drained to less than 70%. I have a habit now of double-checking every now and then that it's not slipped out of silent mode. It makes for some embarrassing situations when it does. It's also against company policy where I work to let your cell phone be heard during meetings.
I have only had that issue at work a couple of times but I think it happens when I hit the volume button by mistake. I keep my volume off while at work since I am in and out of meetings all day.
Im on cm7dx2, my phone is on silent /vibrate 85% of the time, ive never had this issue.
from my X2 roaming the north
Hmm I'll check it. Next time it does it I'll push the volume button once up, then if this is the cause, it should be on the second volume increment.

Recent response from HTC about audio buzzing/noise issue

Sent the following email to HTC and here's the thread that follows, thought some people might be interested in this:
My Rezound is having a weird high pitched whining sound in the background whenever the capacitive buttons are lit up on the bottom of my phone. So if I'm outdoors in a sunny area, I have no problems, but if I'm using the phone in the dark, I have to turn off the screen (which turns off the lights on the capacitive buttons), and then the whining goes away, but obviously this doesn't solve the problem if I need to use the screen. Is there any way to turn off the lights on the capacitive buttons using a menu option or something? Also, have there been a lot of reports of this whining noise in the background?
Thanks!
(I found out how to resolve the issue, I installed a custom ROM that allows me to change the brightness of the capacitive buttons, and the problem has gone away).
HTC-
Thank you for your response. I am glad to hear that you resolved this issue, however it is unfortunate that it took you a custom ROM to do so. I can confirm Mike that HTC has identified the issue of the high pitched noise on the HTC Rezound as a software issue that will be corrected with the next update. This issue is presently being investigated and our developers are working hard at creating a maintenance release for this device. Because you now have a custom ROM you will not receive a direct notification when the FOTA (forced over the air) update gets released. When the update is made available Mike, you can check our web site at HTC from time to time to see if it has been released as a manual update for your phone, should you want to return to the stock OS. The backlight of the keys is also something that some of our users have asked about. I will pass along your feedback on this issue to our developers, and it's possible that in future updates there may be an option to disable the backlight manually using a menu option. It's definitely a good idea, so I hope that this becomes a standard feature in future models from HTC. If you need additional information on the Rezound, you may wish to check your user manual from HTC . Please use the binocular icon on the left side of the manual to enter key words. Using this method helps you to locate all references to the topic you are researching. I deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused, and I hope that your custom ROM allows you to continue to use and enjoy your HTC Rezound to its full potential. Please don't hesitate to contact us again with your technical questions or for issues you may have with your phone. We are here between 6am and 1am EST, 7 days a week for your convenience.
ME-
I don't think it's unfortunate I had to use a custom ROM to solve the problem, but I understand what you mean by that. I still hear the noise when the screen comes on or goes off, but at least it isn't constant now. I'm glad to know that HTC is aware of the issue though and is rolling out a fix in the next update (which I'm hoping will be the official Ice Cream Sandwich update). Also, being able to control the backlight on the capacitive buttons is really awesome, even if it wasn't the solution to removing the high pitched noise. It's great when I'm watching Netflix at night in bed and I don't want the lights to distract me from what I'm watching, I just put it on the "dim" setting. I am extremely happy with my Rezound, I'm really hoping that Google allows HTC to make the next Nexus phone, because I know you guys would make something awesome (unlike the current Galaxy Nexus which has a sub-par camera, non-removable SD card, and cheaper construction in comparison to the Rezound). HTC has won a long time customer, I can't wait to see what you guys do next!
-HTC
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to hear that you are happy with the solution you found, and that the new Ice Cream Sandwich features are proving to be useful on your Rezound. I have only had a brief look at ICS on the HTC Vivid, and I like what I've seen so far. Overall the improvements seem very user friendly. I am also hopeful that ICS will be the next update pushed for the HTC Rezound as many of our devoted fans are anxiously awaiting this software upgrade. Like you, I hope that HTC will again partner with Google for the Nexus line. The original Nexus One, though not as new as the Galaxy, continues to be a fan favorite among many HTC and android enthusiasts. In closing, I would like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey about your experience with HTC Technical Support. You will need to close your ticket with me and you should receive a pop-up asking if you would like to take the survey. To do this, please log in to our ContactUs site at HTC website with your email address and ticket number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and select "Close" next to "Action" to close out the ticket. Then a pop-up should appear asking you to take part in a survey. You can also add any feedback about your experience contacting us in Question 8 on the survey, or even submit product suggestions. HTC is always interested in hearing from users as to what they may be looking for in the next generation of HTC android phones. Thank you again for your interest in HTC! It's always nice to hear positive feedback from our customers.
My squealing sound only happens when I have an audio cable connected from my rezound to my car's headunit and when I have the USB cable connected to my phone. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using the official car charger or using a standard USB cable to charge via a USB port on my headunit. IIRC it happened on GB and it also happens on ICS :-/ I think it's actually the issue of the audio cable being crappy because I don't notice it while using headphones.
That's crazy I haven't heard of anyone getting a reply fron htc before that's sweet man. Although there emails were about when the ics update would be out or how and they were they went getting one (evo4g) lol

That is a seperate issue that is caused by your cars electrical system. I have both issues and I believe they are due to the same problem from different sources. Both are ground interference/feedback, one from the car, the other from the phone itself. This phone just seems to be really sensitive to interference. Thank god it goes away in both cases when the music/audio starts playing or it would have to be returned.
Rep was so friendly lol.... Now if we can get others to be the same
Yes, I noticed I get an extreme amount of alternator whine when charging in the car and have the phone plugged into the aux input of the radio. It's like they forgot to put ground filters in the audio circuit.

mine went from whining, which I tolerated, to much much worse sounds. Crackle, pop, L/R channels intermittently cutting out, etc. If I even touched the plug on the phone side, crackle city. It's almost like the audio input jack has a loose connection to the board. Anyway, Verizon was super cool about it. Called, explained I've tried the usual software fixes (updates, factory reset, etc) since I know they'd want me to try that first...(which I have, multiple times, for different reasons). Less than 5 minutes on the phone today, and an hour later I had a FedEx tracking number showing it'll be here tomorrow.
I've always been super impressed with Verizon's replacement policies. They've never done me wrong.
I love how you told HTC ur running a custom rom.
Also my phone has no audio problems like you guys mentioned but when I plug my beats into my beats computer too loud gives me a little static noise at of left ear bud.
Temp fix for Rezound high pitched whine
Not sure if this has been brought up as a "temp" solution, but wanted to share as it’s made my Rezound much better. I saw this on the HTC Community forums by James on 01/18/12. I am not affiliated with the app in any way.
On my Rezound (stock), the static was fixed with the last OTA update, but I still had the high pitched whine when the screen was on (and sometimes a little bit after it went off). Downloaded the app the guy mentioned and I don't get the whine anymore. No more back-lit buttons while it’s enabled, but the sound is great again. Hopefully HTC will have a fix for what seems like interference from the buttons being lit. FYI – The shortcut on the screen acts like a toggle after the initial setup, so it’s easy to enable/disable.

“I noticed that the phone would have that "whine / hiss" sound every time the capacitive buttons would light up, and the sound would go away after they turned off.. So I got an app of the marketplace called "Screen Filter" and using this app allowed me to turn off the soft-key backlight function at all times.
For me this has eliminated the high pitched whine noise that was pouring into my left ear, however there is still a pop sound when the audio is first turned on for applications or videos.”

Well I figured since they now actually support unlocking their phones on their website they KNOW that people running custom ROMs. I probably would have mentioned it anyway though.

That's good info for those still on stock, maybe you can contact the developer of the app and ask them to add an option to change the backlight from off to dim instead, it works great for me on CleanROM. Or you can just unlock, root, and install CleanROM

[Q] Volume Rocker Issues

Greetings all, I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem, and if anyone might have a simple fix other than sending it in for an RMA, and if possible without having to open the device. I doubt there is a solution... And while I can change the volume through the software itself this issue is not absolutely critical, but come on... This should definitely not be a problem.
Anyways, my volum rocker seems to be falling apart. It was originally working very well, however it has recently started to become problematic. It almost feels like it is jammed up or not positioned properly. I don't know how the feature works internally so i don't really know the terminology to use here, but I have had quite a few different Android & Apple devices and never experienced a problem like this with the volume rocker. Basically, I will push up on the rocker and it doesn't actually do anything, it's like it doesn't actually push in. If I look at it, it may look like its jammed in the upward position, and if this is its current position I can push down and it usually will work, and I can feel a faint pop as it comes back into place. This can also happen with the down position.
I have not dropped the device, have not had any accidents with the device, I am not exerting much pressure on the button, it just feels like it is not put together properly or like it may have slipped out of its natural fitting or something. Has anyone else experienced this before? It's rather frustrating and turns my stomach when I think about how much I spent on this thing and the freaking volume buttons don't even work... Sigh...

I haven't heard of it happening on the Prime. Other devices yea, but nit the Prime. Hopefully it's not another wide spread problem. I dropped my docked Prime TWICE in one week,(ashamed) and I have a very similar issue with the space bar on the dock now. The right side doesn't really depress, and it doesn't function. But seeing as it's only the dock, it doesn't bother me, and I feel like I can easily open the keyboard up and fix it if I really want to. I understand I am very lucky to only have this space bar problem after 2 drops onto concrete.
Good luck man.
EDIT: In the meantime, you can try Widgetsoid or the like. There's a nice toggle widget with ALL the system volumes on one widget...notifications, media, alarms, etc with sliders. I use it and my volume rocker is fine, that's how useful it is IMO.

[Q] Issues (stock)

Dear all,
I've been waiting a little before rooting and installing a new ROM to make sure I don't need to return my phone for any reason. (So, it is stock now, no root, locked bootloader, KNOX still there, etc.)
So, far I've noticed three small problems, which I don't know if they are universal or just mine:
Sometimes when I get a call, the touch screen is irresponsive. If I press the lock/power button twice, it seems to work again. (I now have set up to press home to answer.)
It often feels a bit warm, more than I'd expect. (I have it in a case, though, a Spigen Slim Armor. It fits perfectly though.) But this happens sometimes when it is just sitting, not playing games. It is not really hot, but I can feel it warm in my pocket.
Sometimes I get a pop between songs. See this post
(So, at least one person also has the last problem.)
I can live with any of the problems above, but I'd hesitate to have a defective unit which can have bigger problems later on. Is any of the above an issue for you? Any suggestions if I should exchange the phone?
Thanks!
Luis
Do you remember when were the times when the screen was unresponsive?
I've read somewhere that sometimes when the screen is woken up and is under some pressure this will happen, and the only way is to do what you did. It's not uncommon in touchscreen phones though, so I wouldn't worry about it.
The verge app was broken until the most recent app update. Also, the s5 seems to refuse allowing Dashlane's accessibility service from working properly. So no more auto filling passwords for me. Ugh. I hoped rooting might help but it didn't. Now I really can't wait for custom ROMs to start appearing. Samsung, you make great hardware (like amoled displays) but your software sucks. Even the software on my Samsung TV is stupid.
Yes on two out of three!

The unresponsive screen is more than a little issue, it is being reported all over the web, and get's more severe over time. I'm thinking that it is a bad proximity sensor defect, either firmware, hardware or software. Some people are reporting along with myself that sometimes for no apparent reason, the screen will not turn on even though the phone is completely operational! This has happened to me four times now and I am stock with very few apps on my phone, five total games and Pandora. I do use a substitute launcher that I've used for years but I don't believe that would be the issue since others report the same issue with stock launcher.
The pop or skipping you speak of in sound happens to many of us who stream music in our automobiles. It even happens on the note3. The fix is simple for that one though! Turn the screen on. I was told that with many of the streaming software music programs that the phones CPU goes to sleep and does not offer enough processing power to the music program. I stream all day via bluetooth to my Auto's sound system and it will usually start to skip, click or whatever after the phone has been untouched for about twenty minutes. The second I turn the screen on the problem alleviates itself. You can find even more information by googling that one, in fact both of those! The heat one I have not had, both with stock battery and zero lemon high capacity battery. The phone very rarely get's warm. However, when I was using wireless charging it would get warm even after charging was complete but I believe that is a normal event with QI type tech.

Huawei Media Pad M5 Minor Annoyances/ Help thread

OK. So I'm sure as this tab gets out there more and more, there will be rumblings and grumblings with this generally awesome device. I've had mine (SHT-AL09) for three weeks here in the U.S. and while overall I am very happy, nothing is above some criticism and there are some things I could use some help with.
I've already mentioned in another thread having issues with the position of the volume rocker and power button as well as the overall shape. This device is not boxxy like the X2 I'm replacing and it takes some getting used to.
With this, I am deathly afraid of dropping it because of the shape. I did buy a folio wallet; but ultimately, I want a semi stiff gel case to absorb some shock. I have ordered one from China; but it looks like it could take up to 6 weeks to get it here in the US. So, I can use any advice or links for a gel case for this tab in the US. Also any recommendations for a quality gel case is likewise desired.
Secondly, this tab annoyingly begins playing music ANY TIME it connects to a blue tooth device (not sure if this is Huawei or Android.) This is real annoying when I get into my car first thing in the morning and I am met with Ronnie James Dio blaring at me before I've had my coffee. Anyone know how I can stop this from happening? My sanity demands it (BTW, deleting RJD from my library is not an option.)
Otherwise, I'm loving this tab and totally psyched to have a giant screen with LTE capability and a dialer!! Hopefully, this will set a trend and show the world we are a market best not ignored.
I had been having trouble getting Aquamail to activate the LED indicator on new messages. Supposedly, Huawei is known to make it hard for non-stock apps to activate the LED. However, in this case I eventually realized that the issue was that the LED didn't support the light blue color that was set by default in Aquamail. I changed it to red and new e-mails now trigger the LED.
I have noticed that when I adjust screen brightness via a 3rd party app - i.e. HD Widgets or Setting Profiles Lite - the screen brightness reverts to something different after I turn the screen off and back on again. This might not turn out to be an annoyance, as I kind of like the way auto brightness works on this device.
Is this thing supposed to be VOLTE capable? If so, I imagine it can be enabled via the build.prop file. I don't get VOLTE, nothing I care about too much but it would be nice.
I'd love to be able to customize the appearance/structure of the notification bar and quick settings. I used 'Color Status Bar' for this on my Sony Z3TC and it worked really well. It doesn't seem to work with Oreo.
What opens up automatically to play music when you connect a bluetooth device? That has gotta be an easy problem to solve. Also, I think it has to do with your car stereo more than anything else.
Hey, it's the stock music player. I tried changing the default music player but the stock one still starts playing every time I connect to my car radio. I heard there is a third party app to address this but I'd prefer to stay within the stock system if possible.
What I really find annoying is the bug with keyboard attached: Brightness Controll pops up randomly, interrupting my typing ... really annoying ...
(M5 Pro, Germany)
There are some differences between emui 8 on the M5 and emui 8 on the Mate SE. Didn't expect that. Not pleased about it, as they are things that get used frequently. An AOSP rom would change that of course.
I didn't find the sharp edges very comfortable when typing. Found a soft tpu case that makes things a lot better. Not a fan that the main camera sticks out a bit which seems like it would get damaged when putting the tablet down on a hard surface. Again, the case helped with that.
Didn't like that the navbar was eating up screen space but found an option to use the finger print scanner as the nav bar, which I prefer after getting used to it.
Overall I'm enjoying the tablet, love the display.
Okay, since we're airing grievances
I think the design of their hardware for phones is awesome, works perfectly. I don't think the same design translates to tablets. Tablets are held and used differently than phones, thus need an appropriate sized bezel, weight etc.
Just my .02

I generally agree - but really the only thing I would change on the 8.4 version is the placement of the fingerprint sensor, which is too easy to press on accident when holding the tablet in landscape orientation and typing or what not. It should be nearly to the far right of the tab's bottom area, not dead center.
And really, this would be obvious to any ux designer testing the product, the problem is there is too much emphasis on blindly copying Apple and Samsung. Apple is a cult and Samsung makes extremely high quality hardware that isn't always user friendly.
My two issues right now is that 3rd Party Music apps don't show the album cover and stuff on the lockscreen. And that my device vibrates like twice after rebooting it.
Couldn't find a workaround so far
Here's a minor annoyance - try sending a text message to a number without typing a '1' before the number...you'll get an error message: '(555) 555-5555' is not a valid recipient.' Instead, you have to type out 1-555-555-5555.
Just checkng in. Brought this up when I started the thread, but has anyone found a way to stop the stock music player from starting up every time the tab is connected to any bluetooth audio device?

No updates since March on my M5 8.4" Uk wifi?? WTF Huawei, you never change
@kedge probaly you would like to have a look at HFF, there are several new updates available. Either do a manual update using HFF or wait another few days until the update arrives via OTA.
Only update there seems since the one I have is 151 but not approved.
Still really not a good sign not having monthly security updates.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now it seems that 151 is approved... Then it is probably coming

Anyone got any opinions on the screen/ratio for reading pdfs and web browsing? I'm on the fence about getting one of these.
I have firmware version .122 i found on FF that there is .123 available and approved for install so i use vpn to force update but during install it fails at few percent that it failed to verify. What to do?
Thanks
Also does the storage option for SD install of apps do something?
Still not able to figure out how to stop the damned music app from blaring every time I connect via bluetooth to my car stereo. I'm thinking the problem may be at the car stereo end as others are not having this issue. My latest nuisance is constantly turning on the screen accidentally. Wondering if there is any way to customize the screen wake up options. Maybe changing the behavior of the front facing button or something else. I was also having problems with applications shutting down mid text while using a third party keyboard. (Swype.) I finally had to delete the keyboard and go back to stock.
So for me the screen density was driving me nuts. Everything was way bigger than my previous tablet, even after setting the view mode to "small".
I fixed this by going into developer options and setting the smallest width to 750. More fits on the screen now. Much better.
