I've been looking to see if I can find an answer, but so far no good. So, I thought I would just ask. It seems that I'm having intermittant problems when selecting or trying to select an app on my gTab. Sometimes I have to press kinda hard, sometimes no matter how many times I try I can't select the app. Then, there will be times that everything is great. I'm NOT using the stock system on it. I did install TnT 3.0. Does anyone have any ideas?
Also, sometimes when I get a notification, I get uncontrollable static, no volume control that is. When I clear the notification the noise clears.... Most of the time anyways.
Thanks much - I love my gTab
I had the same problem, and thanks to comhack it got fixed.
Make a calibration.ini (Just has to be a blank text file) in the root of your drive.
That fexed it for me.

Then reboot your GTab. Don't touch the screen until the Gtab loads completely. Either delete the file or rename it otherwise it will calibrate every time you reboot. There is no indication anything is happening but it does seem to calibrate the screen
sweet ill have to try this when i get home i thought for sure that it was just me not pressing it in the right spot enough or the "wrong finger" pressing the button than its used to haha.
Problem fixed. Thank you!!!! Glad I asked. gTab works like a dream now. But, alas, still wondering about the sound issue. Oh well, no biggie.

Has anyone else had this issue? The Messages Option on the TouchFlo 2D screen rarely works. This is not a ROM-exclusive problem for me (it happens on every flash eventually), I just can't understand why most of the time when I click it, the title bar changes from "Start" to "Messages" but nothing else.
I also have an issue with the top-right program showing option having a huge delay on it. Like, twenty seconds. Usually right after I press down a second time to see if it registered, it will register both at once, and cancel my first click out - extremely frustrating.
No one has any suggestions?
that is wierd... u reset ur phone regularly i assume?
Me too
This has been a problem for me from day 1. Frequent resetting and thank god for HTC Clean RAM (you can find it here in this forum with a search).
One thing that is a prime suspect is ActiveSync, which has never worked properly for my Fuze. I have found that it remains running on the phone in the background, and the ONLY way I can get rid of it seems to soft reset, and then use the drop down in the top right to kill it beceause even AFTER a soft reset it keeps running.
So not much help, but misery loves company so you should feel better now
Hey guys,
Oh i dunno whays happened. Everything worked fine yesterday then i went to sleep. Next day the side buttons stopped working. The touch screen still works but the side capacitive buttons stopped.
It doesnt even work when i boot into clockwork mod
I have so far tried:
Reboot did nothing
Put calibration.ini file in root directory
Put calibration.ini in sdcard2
Put calibration in sdcard root
Reboot
Didnt fix it.
I got it ebay as i live in australia so warranty may be difficult.
I am using button saviour to get by for now but until i can get the side buttons to work i can no longer navigate clockwork mod because the home button is the select button.
I'm usibg vegantab b5.1 at the moment.
Any help would be really appreciated!
BAM
If you haven't, you might want to try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500
Just tried it but still no joy. Looks like the side buttons are on a different touch interface to the rest of the screen. I guess it could be worse. Vegantab is a nice rom to be stuck on.
I wonder if there is a way to make clockwork mod work with a usb keyboard?
Woohoo! It's working again! Just in time for honeycomb too
I searched and searched for similar issues and finally read about either draining the battery or opening up to find the hidden reset button.
I opted to drain the battery.
Now I'm still not going to rubber stamp that draining the battery fixed it but when I did finally plug it in and fire it up I found the buttons worked again.
Another theory I have is that viewsonic might have some poor soldering. The reason I suggest that is because in Australia we've had some stinkin hot days here at 42degrees Celsius with high humidity. So it wouldn't surprise me for a dry solder to become temperamental under these conditions.
Anyways happy ending for now. Well hopefully it'll keep running until a reliable honeycomb rom turns up for gtab hey
I have encountered a similar problem. The side buttons stopped working after a few days of use. They do work sometimes randomly. Is there a reliable solution to this problem?
I tried calibration.ini, and the buttons worked once. They have stopped working again.
When I hit the physical home button, my G-Tab goes to the clock, like it is docked or something.
I have tried both the latest TnT Lite and VEGAn roms and they both do it.
Tnt seemed to only do it after a hard power down by holding the power button, or if the tab crashed and had to be rebooted. After a few minutes of the tab in standby, the home button would start working normal again.
VEGAn is pretty much doing the same thing, except it will do it after any reboot and takes a litter longer to start acting normal.
Any ideas what is going on here?

No idea, but I would like to know as well since my Ztab does the same thing... bit annoying that...

would button remapper app fix it?

Possibly. But the core issue seems to be that the dock state is backwards. If you look in the logs, you can see where it says DOCK = 1 (or some such) when you pull it off the dock, and DOCK = 0 when you put it on. If you never put it on, you're just stuck with DOCK = 0. Odd thing is it doesn't seem to impact everyone, just some. Very strange.
What happens when you go to the "Spare Parts" app that comes with Vegan? There is a property called "End button behavior". See if setting something there fixes it.

Nothing is selected or that action. Given there is no end button on these wouldn't that make sense?

I found Button Savior is one option around this. Still really annoying. Do you if this problem carries to other ROMS or its it specific to Vegan?
I just froze Clock in Titanium and that fixed it. Don't know what other adverse effects will follow though

Naturally I bought a g Tablet Saturday and Woot has them today for almost $100 less! Oh well. Big big big improvement from my old FlyTouch2 which was a great idea poorly executed.
Immediately flashed VEGAn with supplements etc. All working VERY well but a few questions/observations.
1) If I wanted to hook this up to a USB or Bluetooth modem (well, actually a BlackBerry) it looks like there is no setup for this? Yes, I know if I could find a way to make the BB broadcast WiFi but its corporate so that's a nonstarter.
2) When I hold down the power button, the menu that comes up it clipped off at the bottom. Is that normal?
3) Screen lock on Kindle software is not getting the accelerometer fix somehow. The trick was to put the thing in portrait UPSIDE DOWN and lock the screen. That caused it to lock it 180 degrees off. But then when it is locked you can go back to right side up (to me, right side up is with the buttons to the top). Of course, if you want to lock it another way you have to experiment.
4) Camera Fun shows camera upside down. No big deal -- again accelerometer I think.
5) Sometimes I am sure the machine is asleep and when I turn it on it is booting from the birds screen. Anyone else seeing this?
6) I don't understand the .nomedia thing although I've read a lot about it. I don't seem to get files erased, but nothing shows up in Video. But if I navigate to the folder (on /mnt/sdcard2) and play videos that's fine. Then later the files will show up in video. Whoops spoke to soon. Now they are gone. What's up with that?
7) My old tablet had GPS but without the external antenna it was worthless. But it still managed to find rough location with WiFi somehow. I assume by figuring out the geographic location of the IP. That doesn't seem to work on this machine. Yes Use Wireless networks is checked in Location and security.
8) What's with the little plastic cover? How hard is it to take out? I don't want a little rubber dingle rolling around inside.
8) In System Preferences, About Device | Status consistently crashes.
9) Does the audio jack support a headset or just headphones? Yeah I know -- I could just try it.
If it matters I'm using Launcher Pro.
Still and all the VEGAn ROM is superb. Compared to the FlyTouch this is super fast, the screen is a joy, and the battery life wonderful. And with the woot deal only about $80 more than a FlyTouch2.
Ok I'll answer some of my own questions:
5) I think this is the unresponsive power button problem. If you press and wait it seems ok. If you press, get impatient and press again you might reboot.
9) No, at least not with a Blackberry headset.
Most of these are answered on the forum somewhere, but I'll give it a shot..

I get this sometimes, too. It is a known issue, and there may be solutions out there... I just deal with it.

Known issue.
These aren't much help (maybe reassurance?)
1) Pretty sure it's wifi only. Have trawled the internet looking for a usb or bluetooth alternative because wifi hammers the phone battery
2) It happens on mine as well, so it's not just you
5) Same here - I just turn it off when not in use now
7) Only GPS functionality seems to come with the need for an external GPS unit
8) Think this is normal
(Re reading above, it looks like I'm negative re VEGAn - this is not the case. It is way better than what came standard and does everything I need it to do)
Yeah I like it too. Haven't tried the others, but very satisfied with Vegan.
Another observation: Long pressing the Menu button (hardware) brings up the keyboard. However, long pressing the menu button on the status bar does NOT have that behavior.
Clemsyns newest kernel will fix sleep issues. Also has some other great improvements too.
Buttons on status bar do not respond to long presses. Home doesn't bring up its usual long press of recent apps either. Funny, i Never even tried long press on status bar keys before now.

I have Pershoot's kernel. I'll try changing. I presume I shouldn't need to clear too many things in CWM after flashing a kernel. Maybe the Dalvik cache?
Hello all,
Awhile back the touchscreen on my Sprint TP2 (RHOD400) was off. I click in one spot, it clicks an inch high. Sometimes more, sometimes less..I tried calibrating, but I couldn't even click the center target once. The problem stopped for awhile, then started up again last week. This time the problem is worse. I press in one area, it presses one to two inches away. I have the phone in landscape mode and try to press the upper right hand corner 'x' and it brings up the notification window. Sometimes the lower right part of my screen is completely inaccessible, and I cannot send a text for quite awhile. Other times it is fine, but not fine to the point where I can get super accurate clicks. I was running Mr.X rom, and flashed to Mighty, but this did not solve the problem. I have also cleared storage. I used to run haret android for awhile, would this have caused any problems? I thought I should try that again since I can force the phone to use a calibration.txt file that works for sure, and see if the phone is "fixed" then. I guess my options are...
Try haret android again
task 29?
reflash?
be sad, it's a digitizer issue
(tldr) Touchscreen is off, but not always by the same amount. Reflashing wouldn't cure it and I can't calibrate it. Targets keep going around and around after the reflash, where before I couldn't get them to click even once.
Maybe one of those will fix my problem..I hope so, but I posted here to see if anyone else had heard of an intermittent touchscreen issue like this?
Thanks for reading/help guys.
Can a mod move this to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=488 Touch pro 2/Tilt forum? I feel as if I posted it in the wrong forum and I'd get more responses in the other. Thanks!
Have you tried pressing the two volume buttons at the same time to get to that calibration screen. Then try to calibrate and see what happens. If this does not work for you then I would think its a hardware issue.
