Sidekick 4g screen freezing

Does anyone else have a problem with the sidekick 4g screen not responding to touch sometimes, and goes crazy, I have to lock and unlock just to touch the screen?

Yep, I see that same issue, I think it may be the touch driver crashing, but haven't had the time/motivation to test and find out if that's the actual issue.

I have that problem constantly. Go to answer a call and discover that the touch screen is dead despite the screen being on.

My dose the same thing even when am not on a call

I've had the same issue, and I reserched it and did a few test it is the touch drivers crashing due to a lack of memory the 2.2.1 default leaks memory like a sive so use a task manager or memory booster or flash a new rom lol you'll see it stop

Oh okay I just downloaded memory booster full from black market, I only had 15% memory free and just got this rom, it free up a lot of memory from leaks I'm gonna see if I have his problem now

I've had constant problems with the touchscreen on the SK4G. Any amount of sweat/moisture and it didn't work properly, had phantom movements, etc. I put a screen protector on it and it's not so fidgity now, but my old G1 worked like a charm compared to this thing. I don't know why it's so bad... is this a different/cheaper/crappier touchscreen technology than the G1???

Did you turn the optical trackpad off? On mine it would always be going crazy when I took the phone outside on a bright sunny day.

You reported him for not paying money to fix a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place?
On-topic, don't worry OP. My epic 4g sometimes has issues with the touch screen when I get a call as well. I think its an android thing.

If u didn't know android is an open source OS, I didn't spend $300 for a phone that doesn't work just to pay more money on something to get it working, this isn't microsoft or apple

I agree its not apple or microsoft, but do keep in mind that paid apps you don't have to buy and not buying an app and pirating it is like stealing from your locan mini mart it is open sorce not take what you want when you want an crook is a crook. Just like it isn't fair to charge you for "something to make your phone work" its not fair you take money out of a developers pockt, and no personal attacks just speaking truth.

Well go write a letter to all the developers who make those apps, and gmob is one of those apps which happen to be in the amdroid market

Sorry to revive an old thread, thought I was going mental for a bit cause I just got this as a beater phone till my upgrade. But do I really need to use a TM to make this problem stop?

Yeah I've also seen its a driver problem. This happens a lot, unfortunately there is nothing we can do. Lock/unlock works but is very annoying.

Confirm delete ?

Can anybody please tell me where is the confirm delete or confirm anything files are located so I can delete them I'm so sick and tired of having to confirm everything I do thank you

On your phone? First thing that came to mind was a PC.

On my phone..where is the file at and what it called..?..im sure its part of framework...i just hate more than anything in this world is ...doing things twice..when i say delete...just delete the **** ...i realize it's a precaution but I'll deal with the consequences as I see fit thank you

Hate to be the berrier of bad news , but IDK. From what ive read....you cant, but that makes no sense. I can change whatever I want...its android.

Right I understand I guess I'm just gonna have to make my own rom with kitchen... My roms are going to enable everything user really want to enable gonna be a brand new world

Ubuntu for phones, will you get it for your g2x?

I just watched the video on Ubuntu for phones os and its looks great! On the website, there's option for the lite version that will work with phones with minimum single core. I'm loosing hope on fully functional jb on this phone and I feel this is the last resort other than buying a new phone. Are you guys going to install it when it releases?

I really want to. But I just don't know how to go about doing that. Also your right, jb is just a maybe, and honestly I really want something stable and fast

As long as most of the things work, I'm installing it as soon as it launches.

Indeed this is a breakthrough.... I am waiting for something like this to be installed on my nokia e7
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Correct me, but did it not say it will have to be ported? I was reading if all devices will be getting it. Maybe it will be similar how cyanogen mod work and has different devs for different devices.
I would love to help with that if that is the case.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

The Ubuntu website said that this odd based off the android kernel. It's probably ics kernel because it was on g nexus. This could be notable for us, we may never get this fully working.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

I will give it a shot if it ever comes on this phone
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Uhhh, it'd be the same inherent problem we currently have with trying to get jellybean on these phones...nvidia (closed source) chips. Right? Drivers are pretty important little buggars.

We may have problems yes. But I still would be very happy to be sportin' ubuntu on my phone.

IMO, ubuntu on the G2x sounds amazing.

I'll be watching for such development from my polished turd of a device...
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Definitely will try it.

Well hopefully the tegra 2 wont give Ubuntu issues
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

It will give you problems, one of the requirements for Ubuntu on phones is that the have to be able to run ics or jb, nvidia drivers are required.

Yup from now on stay away from LG and Motorola phones

Not having the Java overhead would make it feel like a new phone. Hopefully it can be ported.

There's a good chance this will run on Mazout's CM10.1 unofficial (no radio), and now that Mazout has compiled a fairly easy dual-boot option to this ROM it will be a lot easier to experiment with.

Well hopefully but knowing our device !!! Who knows lol

You guys think we'll get Ubuntu phone OS?

Not really a big deal but it would be cool to see on our skyrocket. Our developers are so awesome so it wouldn't surprise me to see it. Getting it on nexus 7 and would love to have it on both.

Honestly probably not; and I think it's a gimmick at the moment. A phone entirely controlled by gestures? Sounds great in theory, but not great in practice

I guess I'll find out soon enough on my nexus 7.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

It gets open sourced on the 21st so anyone can take a shot at porting it.

one word: BB10, blackbery's new os is entirely gesture drive
but we don't have enough devs for a port of something like this, its massive... I truly believe that unless a device with similar chip set/CPU gets it we likely won't. Don't get me wrong our devs are great, just few

Would be nice, as would Firefox OS but i'm more hot for Ubuntu for Android as that would finally rid me of having a technically unnecessary pc

I use a gesture based OS on my blackberry playbook daily. It is incredibly smooth when done correctly. If Ubuntu does it correctly, then I wouldn't mind having it ported. If it's done badly, then it just wouldn't be worth it.

True, this leads me to believe it won't be as hard as people are thinking to get this to build yes it will involve a lot of work but I'm not thinking its going to be some herculean task.

I was reading it and cannocal says it's supposed to be easy to port. I just hope our phone will be able to run it smoothly. It should but I guess we'll just have to find out.

Working on porting it now actually if git servers ever decide to sync.

I hope it's easy to do. I love android but I've always wanted to try a different operating system. Not gonna make it permanent but it'd be cool to use sometimes. Anyone know if you can back it up with recovery and restore it later? I'll ask over in the nexus 7 forums as well.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

You can if you make a flashable zip. Installing via bootstrapper deletes everything iirc.

Cannocal has already made a flashable zip for the nexus devices. You have to fastboot flash a .img file.

Someone in the n7 forums said you can backup and restore with cwm.

Never hit the limit. I don't play a lot of games on this ancient device though either. I have emulators on here for n64, psx, and gba but almost never bother. I have my Xbox for that. Productivity apps don't use that much space.

exactly how many apps do u want or need to install, how big are the apps are u trying to install

Its not my device but a friends, its to hold him off till his upgrade is upgrade is up and he is a heavy user and has lots of various games and apps and the 2gb limit cripples him.

The hardware cripples any decent games too lol so even if you changed the partitions it won't keep up.
If you want to try and change them, by all means feel free but I don't know many here wanting to risk it. Talk to team rookie someone there may be able to help.
