NS4G Back button - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so when I open an app and click the back button to exit out it sticks. It doesn't let me do anything for about 30 seconds unless I lock it and unlock it. It did this with stock kernel pre-root and post-root didn't do it very often, with netarchy it did it more frequently and with matrix it does it every app I open. Can anybody shed some light on this please!

I have. Ive tried miui, oxygen, cm7 and nightlies, kings rom, deck, stock odexed and deodexed I've tried so many and they all have the same issue. Trust me as soon as I find a new rom I flash it to review it for my blog

im having the SAME issue and its getting annoying. i should have just kept my original NXS but instead my techs ordered me a new one because she ripped my esn sticker off the back. now my replacement has this ****ing issue and its annoying! its almost as if the phone thinks the button is being pressed (back light on only the back button goes off...phone is not functional until it comes back, which can be any given time, sometime the button just tweaks out and flashes on and off for a given time) ugh...wtf is going on

I found that flashing matrix kernel minimizes the issue.

Slight color shift when tapping screen?

I noticed when browsing the XDA forum via web browser, that when I tap the screen and hold, there is ever a slight shift in color tones. When I let go the color returns to normal. (I'm sure its on other sites as well that aren't on a white background). Has anyone else noticed this?
You can test by browsing XDA, going into a post, zooming in, and tap and hold around someone's avatar. Usually the icons around the avatar will become more pronounced when tapping, and look at the color of the background.
This might be a normal thing, but would love for someone else to test it and report back on it via their Sensation.
Last thing I want to do is bring this one back and swap.
I noticed it when I was choosing apps from my home screen.

Do you notice it browsing XDA? But not via the XDA app. Tapping and letting go?

i noticed it on the browser too on xda site, not tired any other site. but i think it could be software, maybe hardware but most likely software, anyone else got anything on this?
I just noticed also on the stock News app. White background, but when scrolling background turns just slightly pink. When done scrolling background goes back to white. Could be the app, but would appreciate if anyone could try that as well!
Yeah I noticed it on the xda app

Okay I just downloaded XDA premium and XDA free on both devices and checked many other apps and the browser on both mine and my wifes sensation and here is what I found,I was able to replicate the issue on both phones only in the XDA premium app
And I did NOT find this to be an issue and could NOT replicate it in any app nor the browser and also not in the XDA free app.Cheers

I've downloaded the Gingerbread keyboard and used it for a few weeks.
I went back to stock keyboard because I heard that it may be possible for someone (whoever uploaded the keyboard) to track keystrokes such as passwords.
I dunno...just didn't want to take the chance.
Any thoughts ?

You get that warning from any keyboard that you install.
Ive never used any keyboard but the gingerbread keyboard from the market. Nobody's hacked anything of mine. Knock on wood. That's a standard warning.

Power button to hang up?

On my last two phones there was an option in the accessibility settings to hang up using the power button. But I haven't seen that option in the stock or a custom ROM yet. Is there an app for that or am I missing something? Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
I'd like to know if there is a solution for this as well. I've almost been caught in some strange situations where I pressed the power button to hang up but obviously on the Sensation the call keeps going.
What phone does that?
Cm7 has this as default and can not be changed from my understanding. I personally do not like this option because it forces the screen to stay on and eat battery. For this reason I switched back to sense adhd.

Didn't remember that on my n1
Its a stock android option. Would really like it to be ported somehow to sense also. I'm not of cm so I won't be flashing it just for that feature but if you all like vanilla android then maybe that's your answer.

Haven't seen any in any sense roms. Just the aosp/cm7 roms. It would be awesome if someone could add it as a tweak or addon.

Phone won't restart.

Hi I'm new to android that's why I wanted to ask the members here, I just want to know how come everytime I tried to restart my phone by pushing the power button and selecting restart phone it will not restart instead it will turn the phone off and I have to manually push the power button to turn it back on again. I'm using 100% stock sensation updated to the latest ota tmobile phone.

Glad to know I'm not the only one that is happening to. I wonder if it is because I am using the chichitec battery instead of the stock one. Been too lazy to change out batteries to find out if I am right or wrong.

Power Button

I've done some searching, got other answers. But my power button doesn't allow me to turn my phone off and takes forever to wake my screen up. I got a replacement cover and same problem. Any ideas?
