I recently bought a used htc touch cruise. After a few days the phone wouldn't get any gsm signal and windows media player and other programs wouldn't work. I installed WM6.1 and now everything is perfect. the phone works great.
There was something interesting that happen. i tried to open the phone by pushing the power button bat no response( the phone was on last time I checked) , no button seems to work, just the green flashing light was running. I had to pull out the battery and put it back and switch on the phone., and now is working. The phone was off in that time where no button would work because I try to call my phone put was unreachable . The curious thing was that the green light was flashing. This is the second time it happen this,
can anyone tel me what is wrong? could be some settings? could be the WM6.1...or some hardware problem?
you've got a ppc. that means it's a little computer, as you know, computers can crash.
sometimes if the phone crashes it can lock up with black screen, no buttons work, but yes, sometimes the led light flashes still.
to the left of the mini usb/charge point is a small hole. if the phone crashes, poke your stylus pen into it to perform a soft reset (restart the phone).
it maybe that you flashed an unstable rom or had too many programs running at once. try changing the 'X' button function to close the program, rather than minimize it to the background (this you'll find in settings)
if that doesn't work try a re-flash. sometimes roms can become unstable because the original ('shipped') htc rom wasn't flashed first. then flash the custom one. sometimes i even double flash the custom rom to make sure all is set right.
hope this helps - if you're still having problems, that is (i see the post is a little while old)
Hello, I have recently discovered a very annoying problem with the touchscreen on my Motorola Defy:
I have noticed that the touch screen acts strange sometimes, so I have installed a touch test application(Touchtest by Hermit). In this application I have noticed that if I touch the screen in two different points in a fast succession, a line appears between these two dots. This makes a lot of application that require multitouch pretty much useless, because I have to restart the application to have the touch screen working again.
Is there any solution for this? I have heard that this may be a software issue, so I have e-mailed Motorola, but they have not answered yet.
I have attached two pictures to illustrate what I am saying, one taken before this strange error, and one after pressing on two spots very fast. You can see the line connecting the dots in the second picture. I can make a video if you still can't figure out what I am saying.
Thank you.
Im having a very similar problem here on my defy. When I play games on psx4droid and when I keep pressing x key, it stops working for a while then I have to release the button and when I press it again, it stops working and it continues
I encounter similar problems with my Defy.
When for instance using slide to unlock , 1 / 5 sildes fails. I have to slide 2 - 3 times until it unlock.
It also scrolls very slow in applications and the same thing happens when typing a message.
Solution : Unse lock button.
It currently runs Pays ROM, but the situation appeared since I installed 2.2.1.
I don't remember having this problems on 2.1.
Don't know if the situation is only related to software but it is really annoying.
Found this info regarding touchscreen slowness, but I am using the original charger so it doesn't apply for me.
Motorola Defy Touchscreen Problem
I recently got my Motorola Defy,my Defy's touchscreen acts sometimes really weird, on keyboard it's hard to enter 'r' or 'b' and some other characters, it takes little while to unlock the phone, it automatically opens applications, I don't know if it's due to faulty handset or software, I am considering it returning to Phone4U and get a replacement handset.
What version of Android are you using ?
Same problems here, but I think it is a software issue.
I'm having the same problem on my Defy.
After a while, the multi touch stops. I posted on the Motorola Forums
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/44733
but no response.
I used YAMTT and when having two touches, after 20 seconds, one of them disappears
This is repeatable
2.51.1 UK with 2.1 Android
Well, it is clear that this is a problem that affects many Motorola Defy users. But I wonder if someone could fix this thing?
Looks like the new software version 2.51.1 did not fix this bug. I haven't tried it yet, but I see some of you have.
So it looks like our only solution could be a developer from XDA. Could someone help please?
This is ridiculous...i've sent my phone to motorola only because it was giving this problem and basically what i think is that their own software is causing this problem so i'll be waiting for 3 weeks and when i get my defy...it'll still have that problem...Ridiculous...
I did a bit more experimenting.
I flashed the 2.2 Finnish blur, multitouch still disappears after 20 seconds using the touch testing programs
I also booted into Safe Mode (vol up + vol down during boot)
The same problem persists; I was using gallery image zoom to test.
However, I got my friend who has a Motorola Droid to install YAMTT. The multitouch lasted about 30-40 seconds. Not sure what to make of that. He's running some version of Cyanogen Mod on Android 2.3

Mine sometime stop response after few seconds
really wierd
Tell me who is on stock rom and is having problem..because im on 2.2 leaked..so i cant really say if u hv this problem on 2.1...
I got this response from a Motorola employee. Anyone know of a way around this?
Motorola Employee said:
If you touch the screen and don't move for a long time, the screen will eventually try to ignore that touch as it'll be considered invaild. That's what you're seeing. If you continue to move your finger(s), touch will continue to work. Also, when you release the screen, it acts to clear the invalid touch region that you generated earlier.

have simular problems............100 procent hardware problem..... if i twist phone a little it will go back to normal for a while
any ideas for disable it?changing some parameter or something?
I have the same problem. screen sometimes go crazy. i am using stockrom eclair SEA 2.59. sometimes it seems that it tap icons or part of the screen even without I actually tap on something. and it seems it affect the capacitive button under the screen. I am not touching the search button but the search box suddenly appear.
I have to push the power button and unlock the screen to make it normal.
somebody please help us. I am also having this weird problem. Touchscreen gets pressed itself not everytime but it happens very frequently. Tried everything, hard reseted too.
At least I gotta hope that its not a hardware problem as many of u are also facing this problem. Any body please confirm if flashing cm7 has helped u or any other solution.

i returned my defy months ago but what you can do is, try to flash cyanogenmod on your defy...that should fix the problem.
Hi, I've registered myself just a minute ago, reading the link that efpod left here and I've remembered that I charged my Defy with a Galaxy S i9000 charger friday (I've charged it once the batery was drained later with my original charger) and today it is failing A LOT, it's really anoying.
I got Cyanogen Mod (latest) installed on my phone so that doesn't fix the problem.
I'm uncharging it with "StabilityTest - CPU / GPU Test" and when the battery drains out I'm gonna charge it with the original one, after that, I'll test it during the day and I'll leave a messege to keep you informed.
So I have GingerDX installed with no issues except this one. I tried wiping and fresh install but it is still an issue for me.
It mostly happens with the keyboard, everytime I bring it up, I get the background and empty screen. When I press back, keyboard goes away and everything goes back to normal. It happens with default keyboard and swype which is the keyboard I want to use.
I have seen it occur at other times occasionally though. Anybody got any ideas? This basically makes the phone unusable if I can't type.
Oh and if I rotate the screen, sometimes, it causes the keyboard to appear with squeezed input box and I can use the phone but other times, this does not work.

Found problem, theme doesn't work properly on X8. going back to A-Lite resolved isuse.
I've got a weird issue. I'm running the stock T-Mobile ROM with the only real modification being Swype as my keyboard. Sometimes it seems the phone will get very warm and stop responding. I can still open the home screen, go through apps, etc, but Internet/Data will fail to work. I can access the dialer, but it will refuse to dial. When I press a text box for the keyboard to come up to type, nothing registers within the box as I type. Using the home screen widget to turn on and off wireless and GPS, those buttons stop responding as well.
Has this happened to anyone? I'm close to performing a factory reset to hopefully rid this issue. Rebooting the phone seems to fix it, but it has happened about half a dozen times within the past 2 weeks now.

Best bet is to factory reset which, of course, will dump all your apps, settings, etc etc... An even better bet is to root and install a custom ROM; but that is your call.
Another option is to get a task manager / battery monitor and see if a specific app is causing your phone to act up. Look for things like most time on or most CPU usage or most battery consuming, depending on what app you use.
Agreed. Try a factory reset, or send it to HTC.

Howdy folks-
I'm having some issues with my Nexus 5 and hoping someone has some insight. During phone calls my screen becomes inoperable-it is completely dark and nothing I do aside from hanging up the phone with the power but does anything. And even that takes three or four pushes before it wakes up again. When I'm using bluetooth and have the phone on my center console (laying flat) I have use of the screen for in call actions etc. but then and only then. I've used several different roms, kernels, etc. and am on the second screen. Problem has been consistent but sometimes worse depending on rom (sometimes I have to completely reboot during a call to regain functionality).
Also having a problem with YouMail completely leaving the phone useless and inoperable during and after use. I can use the power button to eventually end everything and often have to reboot the phone to use again.
Currently using Bricked Kernel and Droidkang V18
Any help would be much appreciated.
Am having similar problems on a rooted Nexus 5 running stock rom and T-Mobile.
If I need to use the keyboard during a call, the keyboard flashes on and off making it impossible to enter sequential numbers. Makes the phone unusable.
Yep-been there done that. No bueno. Would love some help.........
