I've had with my Crappy. This back/home button flashing thing makes my phone totally unusable. Doesn't matter what rom/kernel I run, same thing.
Anyone found the cause or fix for this? The rice trick doesn't do squat and it's not moisture, my phone is dryer than a popcorn fart.
Seriously about to throw this thing into a volcano.

I remember reports of random automatic button presses from a year or so ago. Seems to have gotten better with the new ones, similar to the sleep death. I had random search boutin presses until I warrantied mine due to sleep death.
What's the date code on yours?

How do I get the date code?

Should be a 4 digit number under your battery, something like 1010, two digits are the month, two are the year.
I forget which order it goes in but it should be evident. I know the sleep death problem was fixed in models built after early Nov '10, and the button problem might be the same.

Have you tried to remap or disable these two keys? For example you can disable home and back, and map the search key to back.

First two digits are year, second two digits are month. So 1007 = July 2010, 1101 = January 2011, etc.
My phone is 1011 so November, 2010. It's so bad that I can't even dial a number. Running Andromeda³ and Ursa Minor².

I had this problem really often when I had Andromeda3 loaded, care to try a newer GB ROM, or CM7.1 and post results? Oh and do you also get random shutdowns?
No random shutdowns, ever. I may try cym but I'll probably just trade in the cappy for a sg2 since I'm pretty well fed up with the captivate. I've tried many roms and it didn't seem to matter. My only "guess" is that it has to do with the blk mod that's pre-loaded with most roms.

I had the same problem with my cativate with every rom i installed my home button would go crazy. i flashed back to stock many times but it didnt fix the problem until one day I flashed back to stock and then let kies update to froyo and bam problem fixed. Never had another problem again with my soft buttons.

Title says it.
Doesn't matter what I'm doing, any app, any time, it will randomly vibrate and go back as if I hit the back button.
It seems to happen especially when I tap something.
Ex. On the xda android app, I tap into a thread, loads up, I feel my phone vibrate and it goes back.
Its really frustrating. I never noticed it until I started flashing roms. I always flash back to stock & wipe data bla bla bla so I know I'm not doing anything wrong there.
Anyone?

It might be a malfunctioning button. I had a similar issue with my home button where the phone would go nuts at random times with the screens switching back and forth. It's pretty rare, but when it happens it's usually hardware related.

How are you screwed? Backup with TiBu, flash back to stock w/ ODIN and take it to a AT&T repair center and they can swap you out with another device.
I got this on upgrade through Amazon. At&t wont swap it unless I got it through them. Only way I can do it is through Amazon and my 30 days are already up so Idk how that would work...

Not true. I bought my Captivate from Radioshack and the AT&T warranty center replaced the phone for me w/o any issues. As long as you did not buy it from a guy who found it when it fell-from-the-truck, it should be fine.

Mine also does this, instead I've noticed it does it with the home button. Mine causes it to trigger the search button. I've noticed since I've switched to Froyo though that the problem doesn't occur as often, but it still does it probably once or twice a day.

What ROM are you running? I am having the same issues, but I have it with both the back AND the Home buttons. It seemed to not be as bad with the Stock JF6
I've went to the AT&T Warranty Center with a phone that refused to turn on/charge/etc.
All they asked of me was my phone number. They checked the phone out, etc. and gave me another one.
I think I might have figured it out. I work in a warehouse in Spokane Washington and right now its colder than tits out. Might be the phone getting to cold. Ill know after today n ill let you guys know

Mine does it in a warm room, outside, freakin anywhere. BUT I did switch from stock JF6, off of a Vibrant ROM. It hasn't happened once today.
I also found out that as far as the repair centers go, if you get a new device you are VERY lucky. Most of the time you are going to get a referbished item. They go in range from the 1006-1010 phones.

I've got the same problem going on with my captivate. I tried a couple different ROM's to see if it had any effect. It was happening on Perception build 4, Axura RC1, and on stock. I'm guessing it's a hardware issue, but if someone's found a solution, please keep us updated!
I have the same problem but with the search button. It happens everywhere, but the other night it was freezing so i was sitting next to a space heater and it really wigged out.

Okay guys---first post after lurking and learning for awhile. Try not to ROFL with this suggestion. I've owned my captivate for a bit over a month. Before ever turning it on I put a high-priced screen protector in place. Immediately I was plagued with the problem of the buttons doing things without asking. Press the home button and get search, vice versa and every possible combination. Took it back to the phone shop and this 15-year old looking sales guy took one look and asked if I minded if he trimmed a quarter of an inch off the bottom of the screen protector. I said no and in five minutes I left with a captivate that no longer mis-fires with every touch. Now, I suppose you guys with this problem don't even have a screen protector in place.

I have a screen protector and I've considered that being the problem. Haven't used my phone much today so I haven't really noticed it but it has happened a few times...especially in the xda app. Ugh this phone is gonna be the death of me

Should not matter. I was past 30 days. I would've returned the phone and avoided the hassle if it was in 30 days. Surprisingly it took me less than 5 minutes to get a replacement phone in the warranty center.
All they asked me was the phone number of the account and name on the account and my ID to confirm that I was the owner of the phone. No receipt was asked.

I found out from the service center in my area. 0-30 days, brand new phone. 31 days-1 year, most likely a referb phone, but you could get lucky and get a new one. Over 1 year you're SOL.
I have a 1007, and was offered a 1008. The ranges run from 1006-1010, 1010 being the newest batch, and I of course was going for a 1010. I decided to skip the 1008, and wait to see if they got any new shipments in.
I'd been have tons of problems with the buttons on mine, the Home and Back were mental! I went back to stock JF6, I only had a couple random presses of the back button. Right now I'm running Assonance 2.0, it's i9000JK3 based and Modem. Not a single random pressed all day today. I had pretty heavy use today
so i did some tweaking on my phone and i think it's fixed, at least for now. i found that the stock jf6 rom had the most issues with it, so i flashed jh3. from there, i flashed up to perception7, and i haven't had the issue again yet.
Has anybody been able to get rid of the keyboard lag that sometimes plagues this phone? Especially when texting
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I turned off the popup on keypress. It helps but it still lags. It seems worse when the message I'm typing starts getting longer.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I thought I was the only one having keyboard lag (among the screen not being always the most responsive). It's ridiculous especially when I factor in the random reboots (most of the time I have to pull the battery for it to respond, and the last reboot cause my phone to COMPLETELY reset...as in I had to set up everything again as if it was the first time I turned the phone on), and how it takes 2/3 seconds for the lock screen to kick in (when I press the power button to wake my phone it shows the screen I was last on before the screen locked) -- which might not be a huge issue for some, but I've never had this issue with any of my other phones, and the low ringer volume which really irritates me.
I have bleeding but it's nothing to noticeable and doesn't bother me right now because I dont really ever notice it.
I should receive a new one tomorrow and I'm hoping none of these issues are there
--- BTW, sorry for kind of going off topic. I apologize, meant no harm.
Yeah you are correct, the longer the message is, the worse it gets

I told the rep about the 4 reboots I had since I got the phone...which was 3 days before I called in, and how the last reboot seemingly wiped my phone and had me log in all my information as if it was the first timed I'd ever turned it on.
The rep told me I was his 3rd call that day for this issue but there were no notes on their system about problems with the phone or any updates to correct the issue(s)...needless to say, he sent me out a new one.
I will be getting it today. Hope it doesn't reboot. The bleeding I can deal with in all honesty, but if it reboots and the volume is as low as it is on my phone now I will have to return it for good and get another phone...and I don't want too.
Can you change the title of this thread to reference the gingerbread builds. Just so people don't get confused. This only applies to the leak gb and roms using it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Getting tried of watching my phone reboot. If going back to stock would resolve the issue I would do it. I called big red today and the pinhead I spoke to acted like it was the first time anyone had called about the TB rebooting on it's own. I'm looking at going to a different phone. I really think at this point it is a software issue that they need to correct. Just like with most businesses things are not addressed until they become a problem. So my thought is we should set a date when every one calls in to report their rebooting phones. We do this every week until we get a resolution. Anyone with me?
Wait... You are rooted and getting reboots? Are you on gb? Did you root or install your rom properly? What kernel?
Stock I had no issues. Non-Gb I've had mostly no issues... Some kernels less reliable than others, of course. But to be honest it sounds more like a user issue than a tb issue

Are you near a Verizon store? Verizon is usually very easy to convince that you need your phone replaced. (Although I think they will only replace it with the same model. But I'm not sure.) My Thunderbolt never reboots on its own but I know it is a problem that many Thunderbolts are experiencing, so maybe yours (and many others) is/are defective. I'm 99% sure if you go into a Verizon store and tell them that it randomly reboots all the time, they'll replace it for you.
I reverted back to stock and haven't had a single reboot or loss of data on three days. Just sayin'.

I have read posts where people who are not rooted are getting reboots after they took the update. Have never had an issue with my phone until I took the update. Am going back to stock for a week or so to see if that clears things up.
Funny how VZW is changing their stance on it, almost as if it never has happened. About a month ago I went into a store and they told me that Im not the only one experiencing problems and that there will be a fix within 2 months.
I called VZW tech support and they told me that no one else is having reboots.. . . . I dont get it.
Try flashing your radios, I put both of mine to .6 and the reboots stopped.
(there is a thread in teh development forum, with the packages)
Can you specify what you mean when you say "both"? I have been getting reboots too - approximately 1 per day - but is there a process to flash each radio independently?

It is not a hardware issue. It is a problem with the update and how certain phones installed it. Verizon is in the process of making a new update and has been working on it with HTC for a little while now & expect to have it going out this month. For some reason the software does not talk to the towers properly with some models & the hardware does not get the proper info which causes the reboots. Exactly how to tell which phones are affected, I don't know. My friend is trying to find out for me.
I can say that I ran my phone with rooted stock & moved up to the rooted update when it was available which I am still on and I have not had any issues at all besides the low recorded video audio which the update seems to have fixed for me.
My phone is:
Rooted stock & radios w/update
Adrynelynes 4.47 Kernal
I am telling you what HTC said they admit that a certain series is defective hence the snappy replacement. Just cause one Rom works and another doesn't isn't always the Roms fault,ever had a CPU that would run one OS and not another or RAM that worked fine on xp but not win 7 once the defective hard hits its limit it will fail. I have seen hardware work fine overclocked and the exact same hardware crash with half the settings,or a motherboard run suse fine but put Windows on it and it dies a week later. I didn't say they all were defective just one series of them and when they did the update a lot of the phones started to fail and some didn't,so does that tell you hardware or software,if one can run fine and the other fails its either a bad flash or bad hardware. Take your pick

I didn't do the update over the air on my other bolt, I downloaded it from HTC and it killed the phone,but the same download is on this phone and it works just fine,not one reboot, and its still stock and not rooted. The other one was dated Dec
10 and this one is dated Feb 11, I would just about guess they tweaked the update to weed out the bad phones faster,makes sense to me.

I wasn't aware of HTC stating there was some defective hardware. Never saw any references to it. If thats the case then glad they acknowledged it.
It's definitely not a hardware issue. Its a radio/ signal issue. Verizon does know about it, and is working on getting a new update out there. I know this, for a fact.

My TBolt is not rooted and before the update I had no problems at all but after the update the random reboots started. Battery life is acceptable but could be allot better.
Called Verizon yesterday and they acknowledge the problem and actually said HTC is aware of the problem and are working on it but have no expected date as to when it will be fixed. I believe it is definitely is a software issue and will be fixed when the official Gingerbread is released. Just my 2 cents.
Users that updated their G2X to V21E, you getting any random reboots or freezing? Please report in this post. Thanks!

Is your phone set to Max brightness or is it on auto? If its on auto, I bet LG reprogrammed the code to dim the backlight more than it was before so people don't notice it as much. Mine has always been minimal but its still the same at max brightness. A software update ain't going to fix a hardware issue.

OK, JR and I disagree more than we agree, and I'm sure he can defend himself but:
- claims to love the phone
He talks positively about aspects of it.
-the next day he hates it
He talks negatively about aspects of it.
-next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it
He kept it because he got it free from T-Mobile and it does some things better than the Sensation.
-next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone
I don't know where you pulled this from but it doesn't sound like JR
-next day he is complaining that GB is never coming
So?
-next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again
Lots of rumors about this. JR tends to quote from a source though.
-next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
Too early to tell if others are going to experience the same thing.
Tom, you're the one that still believes the phone's not for sale on tmobile.com because it's so popular. You're no stranger to sharing and defending unique opinions so it's odd you chose to single out JR. You've gone after me too. I come here to hear different opinions. I can figure out which one's to believe without a self-appointed moderator telling me.
What hardware version do you have? If you remove the battery there is the white sticker with all the numbers on it. There is also a set of numbers that tells which hardware version it is. its usually a set of two numbers separated by a period (.) ex. 11.04 or 11.11 or 12.01, you get the point.
I read a post about hardware versions 11.05 and below having this issue. I've had 3 DCs, (11.04, 11.05, and 11.11) and my current one, the 11.11, has no issues whatsoever. No dropped signal, no cracking/popping/static, no issues that require me to cycle airplane mode on/off, etc. So let's hear it.

I did the same thing. They sent me a nexus as well, but i have signal and connectivity issues with it. Sitting in one spot, it will go from 4 with 4G to 0 bars with an X. Where with my DC, i kept 4 bars and 4G in that same spot. I have both, a DC and a GN. It seems like the connectivity issues with the GN is a big/common problem unless you get the 1% that isn't defective. I've never had as issue with signal/connectivity with any of my DCs, just the static/popping, with the exception of my current DC.
I'm calling in the morning to complain about my popping and squealing... I hope I get a nexus....!!!!

I have a DC that is 11.05. I don't get the squeal, but I do get the static and popping. Do they replace it right at the verizon store, or do they send out the replacement?
I have one that's 11.05. I didn't notice the squeal pre-FP1 because I use mainly bluetooth for calls. Since loading FP1 (and Eclipse 2.0), I've noted the wonderful squealing noises in calls, including once or twice through bluetooth, though that seems exceedingly rare.
Just got off the phone with Verizon... my galaxy nexus is now in the mail... I talked to a representative for about 2 minutes and he diagnosed the problem as a speaker issue...? Lol. I'm thinking his quick response may have to do with the 4 other LTE devices on my account... and the 280 dollar bill I pay every month!!! Lol... man o man... this was my very first smartphone and I do love it but, I'm not gonna lie, its not that hard to part ways with it for a nexus... by the way, my hardware version for the charge is 11.05

I emailed support earlier after posting in this thread (and realizing I'd started having the issue on bluetooth as well as handset/speakerphone). I'm hoping for the same result. It's been a great phone for me, without a doubt, but if I can get away from the squeal and get a Nexus at the same time, I'll jump on it in a heartbeat.
I have version 11.04 and I have NEVER had any cracking, popping, or hissing. My charge only drops data when it's obviously in a low signal environment, and has been much improved since the introduced GB.

I lost my popping and cracking somewhere along the lines. Do they make you do anything with your old phones? Like returning them? Because I wonder if you would want to go back to stock before hand. I thought rooting voided the warranties.

It does you have to go back to stock before you return the phone to Verizon

Mine is 11.04
I have had occasional, very loud squealing during phone calls, both before and after the FP1 update.
My DC is now rooted, running stock FP1. Should I unroot before I call Verizon?

I'd have the "back to stock " Odin file ready before you call. If you get lucky and have your new phone ordered , it would probably only take a few minutes to get to stock. But yea, unroot after it is confirmed lol

I am on 11.05 with no screeching /squealing issues.
Sent from my handheld computer using electromagnetic radiation.
I have 11.05 and I get popping and screeching when I receive calls. Every call I receive about 30-40 seconds into the conversation then it occurs about every 20-30 seconds after the initial one. It has been getting worse the past few months. Needless to say I am very unhappy.
My CLNR is version 11.04. We will see if there's a problem with this one.
I got 11.12 been having data drops like a mug the past 2 weeks, times where 4g just wont connect and 3g will drop and never return. Tried flashing different modems and roms but still no luck. Waiting to hear back from my service ticket.
Oh, the good news just keeps coming. Now none of my three computers will recognize my phone to Odin back to stock. They'll recognize the new phone just fine, though.
[edit: Well, SamsungPST's port scanning saved me. For some reason, regardless of what drivers I installed, my computers wouldn't recognize that a device was even being plugged in. Once I loaded up SamsungPST and hit "Read General Information", it started searching the USB ports. When it hit the one my phone was in, the computer started installing drivers. After that, Odin connected fine. Strange.]
