Hey guys,
i have a problem with my trackpad. The trackpad isn't working since some weeks but thats not the problem. Sometimes the trackball does what it want. I don't touch it but it makes any random crap like adjusting the volume... Is there any way to disable the trackball or is there a possibility to repair it?
Tanks for replies

Sounds to me like your trackball has gone wonky if possible I strongly suggest to take it for repairs (provided that you still have warranty).

no i have no warranty anymore....
is there no way to fix this with an app or could i just take the trackpad out of the case? but how should i use cwm without the trackpad?

Have yet to see an app that fixes a hardware problem the trackball does turn faulty after few years of usage (especially if you mistreat it). It is possible to remove the trackball physically but that would take knowledge and confidence.
Yep, without trackball it would be near impossible to operate in CMW.
The best advice is to get a new phone and move on I guess unless you can find some store that can fix the problem for you.
Good luck!

Just thinking if you could find one of those silver metallic paint marker that would work good too, and the track button would be all silver

After 4 refurbs I finally got a new phone, went it to Sprint and was going to get another refurb, but they gave me a brand new one. So, I have been extremely observant with this new one, I have noticed when typing my finger press doesn't always register, its only on the left side of the phone in la.escape mode. And sometimes the spacebar doesn't recognize. So i downloaded order and chaos, (wow mobile) and the virtual joystick stutters and doesn't register my finger press. *NOTE* this isn't app based. It happened when clicking on apps from drawer no matter what launcher. I'm wondering if its the digitizer. 4 days oldandth is one fails already. Sick of HTC.
EDIT: good example right there. Meant * 4 days old and this * and landscape*

Just curious... Are you using go locker or some other lock screen? I had stuttering touch response when I was using go locker......
If that's not the case... Then maybe you need it replaced... Again...
I am using golocker. Haha maybe that's the problem. I'll turn it off for a few days and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah let us know how it goes. I really like go locker and I have asked the devs to fix it but I never got a response from them...
Disabling it did the trick. That's so weird. Glad I know a fix, sad an amazing locker has to be disabled. I guess I can just turn it off when gaming ect. Still a bummer. But thanks for the tip!

Well, I've noticed with my photon the vibrator stops a lot and i have to bang the phone to make it work again, and this very annoying when my phone is on vibrate (missed texts and such) or when typing, I don't get my feedback that I really need, so i took the phone apart in hopes of simple replacement (like in my evo 3d) but it looks like it's soldered to the board, can anyone confirm this? I would rather not have to replace my entire phone just for a vibration issue :/
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it is soldered to the circuit board. I've done similar repairs on other phones, so use a 20 watt iron and go slow. It's not very hard to replace.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Thanks for the reply, since i have extra phones anyway, I might give it a whirl

Btw, when you try it, use desoldering braid to remove it. Less chance of messing up.

Hey guys. So I was in my school weight room and I was doing my curls when I dropped my SGP 5. Didn't realize it because of my music. So when I finished my set, I happened to acidentally drop a 45 pound dumbbell on the screen. As you would guess, it didn't end well. So right now it has a massive dent in the top left corner and glass is coming off. The screen (miraculously) still works and it still connects to my computer. I need to know how I can bring it into best buy without them noticing its rooted. I already have it on default ROM and kernel but it still has superuser and terminal. I literally have no money so a new device isnt an option. Any help?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
there shoud be an unroot option under superuser.
btw, having terminal doesnt mean yr rooted.
B sure to make a nandroid.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
If unrooting through superuser doesn't work, try the unoot feature in superoneclick.
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app
Thanks guys. I ended up having a friend fix it. Though I found out that my best buy no longer has the SGP's anymore. Would I be able to get an nexus 7 with my warranty due to them not having a replacement and similar prices? I remember having something like that for my headphones.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
I don't know about that. But you say your Best Buy does not sell the player anymore? Weird. Although you might be able to buy it at Toys R Us (yep they sell the player there too).

Has anyone else been experiencing weak or unresponsive home and back keys. My home key does not always work. Just trying to see if mine is faulty or others experience this issue.

I have the same issue and it has been pissing me off. I have read the OTA has fixed this issue for some. I am still waiting for my OTA to come through.
Screen off/screen on seems to kick it back into gear most of the time for me.
I had the same problem. Unlocked bootloader and put TrickDroid on, and this problem is gone. Not that it should be the solution, but it seems the move to the international update fixed that problem.
I also had the problem on stock AT&T ROM. Flashed ARHD and the problem is gone

I had the problem after i installed a screen protector. I cut around the buttons and now the problem it's gone.

I flashed international Rom and it's alot better I have two ones that I use and there's s big difference between stock att and international imo

Stock ATT rom here and there are times I have to hit the home button a few times. Gonna unlock bootloader tonight and see about installing a rom.
Mine definitely require very accurate taps. I am getting used to it, but I am hoping a software update will improve the responsiveness.

Seems to be the case more with our (ATT) software. Flashing the international or one of the international ROMs seems to make it much more responsive. Hopefully our phones will get the update soon!
I loaded an international Rom and I still occasionally get buttons that don't work and I have to lock and unlock the screen.

Some say it's the screen protectors some say it's not. I did notice before I out one on it wasn't so bad. But once I out it in was constantly smashing the buttons and where the are so flipping close to the screen I would open unwanted apps. Anyway I too a straight edge and an exacto knife and cut the protector off right where the screen ends and the black capacitive area begins. Did it last night and haven't had to press anything more than once. Just a thought from a guy

Compared to my One X, neither of the buttons are precise at all, even without a screen protector on the AT&T Rom.

I agree. A screen protector shouldn't make a difference. Never did with ny One X either.

Even when I didn't have the screen protector installed it was also very finicky. It seems like you have to press down exactly on the buttons for them to register the action. Even then, one of the buttons will sometimes wig out on me while the other one will continue working. It seems like the problem resolves itself within fifteen seconds most of the time, but its annoying nonetheless.
What's funny is that I thought it was a software problem at first, but even after switching over to the newest CM nightlies it still happens every now and then.
Yea but basing that in cm10 is irrelevant
Because so much is patched and ported but agreed this thing sucks sometimes

I just got tha same problem today and i saw your topic just before posting a new one.
I got the problem using the MROM-ICS (of course i dont blame the developer or the rom for that). Basically i had a lot of problems with the rom and my old (gingerbread) data and apps so i has flashing the rom/gapps and restore all the time witch turned me mad... then i just pressed the screen a little harder (really little) when pluging in the charger. I saw he screen doing this weird color when you press it (like the pc monitor does) so i think that this is my fault.
So if i understood right you had the problem before and after digitizer change ? Sorry but i am not sure of what i read here
PS: I tried pds fix but with no luck.
The digitizer is not good /doa. You'll probably need another new one. Happened to me times.

Mine had the same problem same place but it's spread to the centre as well now
I think it's with the stupid flex cables and something to do with the faulty design of fingerprint scanner position
No one has permanent solution for this but for temporary purpose you can insert a piece of credit card inbetween the battery top location and check
