Whenever mine FC if i pull up a texting program it will pull up the keyboard however when i try to type it will act if its not there (click on a text string and it will bring it up in a full screen) very annoying.
I get the keyboard issue a lot and its very annoying. I don't know how this app is rated so high on the market with all of these issues.

Since my Vibrant is my first android since the G1 (only had it for about a year) I am not sure if this is a specific problem with the app or just with the Vibrant.
Does not crash when using eugene's hybrid

Yep, lots of crashes here. I can only get 3 posts and then it's a force close and upon starting again I get a un responsive keyboard.
Yeah I get crashes in my vibrant all the time..i came gee to post about it, saw this and at least I'm not alone ha. Some time nothing happens but it says it crashed...other time I have to close the program orry I can't use swype keyboard
(tminus 3,2,1 submit : crash

Get the same problem. Its inconsistent though. Someone else gave me the tip if you get locked out turn your KB into landscape and it will work again. I also noticed if you prompted to log back in, press cancel, then back (@ loading prompt) and you will still be logged in. I'm thinking this might be party of the problem though.
anyone know if this is exclusive to the Vibrant or if it is just with the android in general?

I use the app on my compal tablet with no problem, but on my vibrant it acts up sometimes. Last night every single time I would post the app would pop a FC window and would put me back to the main menu of the app. The KB issue I've seen in other apps such as facebook and even "send dev an email" in the market, so it may not be an issue with just xda app.
For those people that enjoy the use of the Genius button and Dragon Dictation.
This is the Genius button app that came stock with the MT4G/Glacier put into a flashable zip. It was taken from the stock MySense Rom and has been confirmed working on CM7 nightly #5+ at the time of this post. It also includes the app called Button Shortcut (free on market). It can be used to open any app using the Genius Button. It should also work on HTC Froyo Roms too. Much thanks to the CM team for making CM Roms compatable with these apps.
This needs to be flashed/installed from ClockworkMod Recovery. Install it just
like you would flash a rom. You should not need to wipe anything first.
Please hit the "Thanks" button if you like this.
[Download Here]
So just flash the file and it will automatically work with the button or is it just the app itself?

You want to flash it just like you would a rom. It will only add the apps not configure the button.
But I will be including the app called "Button Shortcut" (free in the market) in the zip but I haven't had a chance to put it in there yet. Probably will later tonight if I get time. For now you can just download it from the market. Just install it and have it open Genius on the longpress of the search button (our genius button) that us as close as you can get to the original function but its better cause you get text search on normal press and Genius on longpress.

It opened Car Home fine for me but I have reverted back to stock and the app on stock is a little different. It is called car dock and it seems to possably be intertwined with HTC Sense. I am checking it out and will get back to you.

I am on build #5. I would imagine that build #3 was before CM7 was coded to work with this app. I would suggest upgrading from that nightly to one that is a little more recent.

Ok, after Nandroiding back to stock a couple times and throughly checking out the "Car Dock" app in it there are 2 things I have to say. It is a HTC app and uses the components of Sense, so it will not work. Second...I would definitely use the "Car Home" app that is on CM. It is 10 times better. The stock sense app only has 5 choices of things to open but the Car Home app on CM has the ability to open 23 different things. You can set a button for it to open Genius just like the stock HTC one does. I also have Vlingo (free in market) and have set a place to open the "Vlingo InCar" app. That gives you a very nice hands free experience for driving.
All you have to do is push the genius button and say:
"Open Car Home" and it will open the app.
Check it out...
Hope this helps.
this was working great for me up until about 30 minutes ago when after checking out the car dock in cm7, someone sent me a text and instead of having to read it normally - hands-free mode kicked in and played it outloud. now after quitting the car dock, instructing the app to turn off, rebooting phone, even pulling the battery out for a few, hands-free mode will not turn off no matter what. there's a genius button icon in the notification bar as well that is stasis. anyone else having this issue? any ideas on how to correct it?
edit #1: I finally killed it by pulling battery while phone was on. All is fine for now, though I wonder if it would happen again.
edit #2: if it means anything, i'm using gosms and the #7 nightly.

Ok...i just checked this out. For some reason dragon dictation is continuing to run. You can give the command to genius to turn off car mode and it says it does but the icon is still up there. Not sure if it is ready in cart mode still our not. You can go to settings/applications and force close the dragon dictation app to remove it from your status bar. I will so some more checking and see if I can figure anything out for this prob.

i believe it is. as long as that icon is in the notification bar, any incoming text message was read outloud - even after the reboots.
thanks for looking into this. either way, it's a simple fix if it happens again.
just quick note: when installing in clockwork...dragon dictation is misspelled
it says dragon dicktation instead of dictation

Ok...you can also say "hands free off" and it will turn off. Icon will stay for some reason. I rebooted and it disappeared and I haven't been able to get it to do put up the icon again. Even if I tell it to turn hands free on. Not sure what's up hands free seems to be working great tho

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.
As the title says, my p500 is awake almost 100% of the time. Even with the screen off (please look at the attached image).
The only apps running at startup (used Startup Manager app to check it) are Go weather, Maps, Market, Minimalistic text and Quick System Info Pro. On my home screen (Go Launcher EX) I use Go Weather, minimalistic text and Winamp widget, nothing else.
Is there somewhere I can look at or maybe some app I can install to see what is causing it?
I'm using Mik's CM7 6.5.5 and franco.kernel v16.1 bfs (this one gives me almost 30% more battery life than the newer versions) and running at 729/245mhz Smartass.
Uninstall maps and you'll be back in action
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I can try that but I've always used Maps and it never happened before. Sure it eats some resources but I dont remember it causing the phone to be awake.
Uninstalled maps and phone is still awake.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Reflash the kernel. And I agree with you.I found the V16.1 better than the later updates

PROBLEM SOLVED
I was planing on sending the phone to repair on monday, but at the time and with the phone here i didn't want to give up so i thought of rooting it and reinstalling the firmware, but nothing worked and the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to a computer. So i kept search other ways to reinstall the firmware and came across a website that talked about a "secret menu" code for the phones and i remembered that this phones must had one and that from there i could do something, i did. From there i did a factory reset and, unlike the ones i did before by going to settings-privacy, when the phone rebooted it told me right way that it was connected to the computer. I also tested the problem with the screen light and so far, so good.
So, if anyone else has this problem(sannielyk reportedly had) what i did was entering the "secret menu" code : 3845#*500# and did the factory reset from there.
Apparently it was a software problem or something that wasn't installed right by the lg service. But so far everything is good, and i hope it keeps that away.
Thanks for the help

Still have to test through a complete battery cicle tho.

Yes, I have tried it. It helps when you do not use 3G/HSDPA. As soon as u enable internet and browse the net and after that disable the internet, the Fast Dormancy process starts to drain the battery again and again. Disabling the Fast Dormancy does not always work.
I swhitched to 2G and then it stopped draining the battery, but it is not the solution, as I can't live without 3G/HSDPA... Don't know what to do
Ok guys I need see help. I have been recently having some battery drain issues and I don't know why. My phone is forcing the cpu to stay active while it should be in sleep mode. My battery usage looks like this...

My worst is network location locator that drains my battery, only just installed bbs yesterday so not sure what all the wakelocks mean or alarms or anything else.
I know media is your downloads and you probably have your apps on auto update.
Doesn't have many instructions.
You must have a very low screen setting for 20% mine is at least at 70 and that's when I have it on auto brightness

You have the media scanner bug. There is no real cure but formatting the external sd card can help.
The simplest solution is just to force close it. It should not return until you reboot .
It's a Samsung issue so until they fix it we just have to live with it

Sorry was late here when I posted, I should have explained.
Run the app from the app drawer, hit the disable Media Scanner button. This will kill the media scanner everytime you reboot (if you are roorted, assume you are). To rescan for media just open the app and then close it.
Check after a reboot to make sure Media is not chewing up the battery. It works for me under JB and also did under GB.
If you use Tasker you should be able to achieve the same thing. So you could just kill that process with Tasker and either run it and kill it at certain times or the author of the above also has an app just called Rescan Media which you could just run via tasker at a given time interval. Personally never found the need but I guess it depends on how much media you actiually hold on your device etc...
