search button fires up

hey guys, I know this is a known issue, but I can't take it anymore, I literally can't use 3g, because the voice button activates itself all the time, I'm using it, I don't know if I should send it, to warranty, because this is clearly a bug... I need some advice please.
BTW my nexus s is rooted, I've tried also all the roms available and still got the same issue. help

Have you flashed a different radio? It is a known issue with the 9020A.

gonna try that see whats up thanks.

Been waiting months for a fix. KB3 modem is the best in regards to minimizing the problem. Also, cyanogen nightly (7.1) has the option to map the short and long press of the search to "nothing".
There is also a paid app, i think it's called "search nothingness" or something along those lines that can remap the search to nothing.
personally with KB3, i rarely get the issue, usually only during GPS navigation. At home and at work, i have wifi, so 90% of the time, it's a non-issue.

It wouldn't be Android if it didn't have bugs. I'm just glad they're getting it fixed.

I hope this also fixes my issue with Home and Back buttons getting stuck in "long press."

Yea what a joke. I updated the radio to "fix" my search button issue. Oh it fixes it but also brings capped data speeds and no modifying the ro.ril aka build.prop doesn't help. So sacrifice speed for annoyance depletion or keep the raw dog and risk throwing you're phone out the window at 70 on the interstate!!!! Lol it fixes it. No we just have to fix the data caps again.

Its not a huge problem for me. I get great reception almost everywhere I go except for some basements and at work.
I can't take calls while at work so its not a problem.

I had the bug, installed 2.3.6 and it's gone. No more random firing of the search button. My only new bug is that my gmail application Outbox count won't work properly. Even when it's empty it shows a number.
If I reset the application and clear it's data it starts up again with the issue.

Hey guys I didn't want to start another thread so I'm continuing this post.
I'm still noticing the search button bug (Firing randomly) in low reception areas.
Currently I'm running the ICS OTA 4.0.3 with UCKF1 radio on the i9020a.
Is anyone else still seeing this bug from time to time? Did anyone find a way to fix completely? If so please share you solution, if not share your stories. Thanks guys.

I have the i9020a and mine had the annoying bug as well except it was the home button firing with recent apps coming up all the time. I have updated to 4.0.3 from the t-mobile version and flashed the ucke1 radio and have not hae the problem since. In fact I have not run into any problems yet.

If you get the search bug with 2.3.6, send your phone in to get the screen replaced. Also keep in mind that the current ota of ics is NOT for the i9020a

Data drops

Hi guys,
Seems like I'm getting 4G data drops off T-Mobile. It connects for like, 7 seconds, then drops, then connects again. I've tried both radios and ROM's available (stock) and the same problem exists.
I'm going to return the phone as-is to the customer with the issue partly unresolved, mainly because it does connect voice and MMS, just the data has issues.
Any ideas before I give him the phone back?

There is a Zip that was created on the G2x forums that fixed the data drops on 4.0.4. O wonder if it would work for our phone given that it's a APN configuration. Hmmm...

[Q] Will a different radio fix this?

Hi everyone, I'm running CM10.0.0 Skyrocket with UCLD2 modem. I live in Jupiter, FL and when I am traveling through town and pass through areas that switch between HSPA, 3G, and 4G, I often have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. Is this due to my radio? I was doing research in the forum about the various radios and I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the various modems to each other with a chronology of release. I'd guess that newer modems are better, but then I read that sometimes that's not the case. Anyone care to weigh in on why I lose data connection when traveling through different data zones? btw i checked my APN settings and theyre fine.

I too run into the same issue but when I'm at work I know that if you running jb data loss has been known to be an issue with it yes the newer the modem can potentially fix or issue depending on situation best option is test

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Just an update, things still seem good with CI3 compared to my old radio. Only thing I notice is it doesn't really like 4G data, it'll say 4G and have good bars, and I can make and receive calls fine. But if I go online it'll stall, and I'll watch it struggle and then swap to H+ and be fine. That’s the only remaining quirk. Not sure why it's doing that.

Yeah I don't think they want to keep this phone going. They want us to buy new ones. I'm going to have to wait for income tax refund time. That's OK, I really like my phone with Tweaked on it.
The thing I think is funny is the iPhone commercials keep bragging about stuff my poor old Charge already has.

WOW!! I leave the droid charge community for a few months and this is what happens??? Simply incredible. As I have relegated my charge to WIFI only duty this is nearly perfect. The only issue is that it never actually boots. The boot animation just keeps on going and going and going. Does the file system need to be converted to EXT4 before flashing? I'm using the latest 0302 recovery too. Thanks in advance!
Nevermind. Got it up and running. Seems like the recovery updated itself somehow (shrug) and flashed it using the brand new CWM looking recovery and it's working. Can't wait to play around with this later.

Excuse me while I change my shorts.

Just wondering (I'm not a developer or anything), but to get DATA working couldn't we throw in the Factory Test.apk? I was looking at what was running, and it always is. Then I looked at what it is and it all has to do with the RIL.
I am actually looking into trying this build! I usually have Wi-Fi wherever I go so DATA isn't too big of a problem. If it does ever get fixed I believe this would be the Charge's lifesaver.
Any news on the issue that people are having getting it to install?

FactoryTest is in this build, it is required for secPhone.apk to work. I'm not actually sure if it helps or not but its in there. I'm not sure on the boot issues, after installing I would just make sure to wipe data and it should be fine.

is there a way to reset the baseband? i wanted to try the "Jedi Mind trick SGSIII Style V2 rom" and flashed the baseband modem update that was in that thread. tried the rom a bit, then restored my previous rom that i was using prior before the jedi mind trick rom. and went to about phone in settings and saw that my "baseband version" was unknown. and i been receiving texts late. is there a way to fix this?

You can find the blaze baseband here, I'm using the newest T989 and signal seems better.
If you lose signal after flashing the radio you want a reboot usually helps or you may have to get the correct APN.

hows that 989d telus modem running for you? I am guessing that the reason the other modem software is working is cause the hardware is similar or same between some of these phones right? is there a way to find out what chip sets are on these phones to get an Idea of what other firmware works on some of these phones? the T989UVMC6 seems to help my charge time a little and dose seem a little faster on download speeds but still nervous about causing any long term problems but there is no signs of overheating or running flaky so I guess it should be fine.
thanks

I have done some preliminary testing with the UVMB1 and UVMC6 radios and have some very definitive results. There's a speedtest.net server where I live so there shouldn't be too much variance here. I have done some other testing with the other radio (the t989d) with mixed results. The t989d radio is very inconsistent where I live.
The UVMB1 is the first three results, and the UVMC6 is the next three. Pretty conclusive to me. I will be on the UVMC6 from here on

I'm also using the UVMC6 and it does seem to give me a stronger signal. I should probably run a test and get some "official" results.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda premium

been running all day with UVMC6 almost 14 hours and still 64% battery and I used my phone a lot today listening to Pandora radio for almost an hour and 4 or 5 phone calls and played on the web a little. I think I am safe to say it improved battery but I rarely loose much signal in KCMO so I cant say that signal is better but I may have seen more H+ than I normally see. my home has steel siding so I dont see as much H+ when inside but it seems to have been H+ most of the time I checked today.
and again thanks for sharing with the rest of us on this information, it has improved the quality of my phone so many thanks

Welcome, I found it when had my skyrocket and figured I'd try it out. It does seem to make signal stronger and battery. The 989D was ok just didn't hold signal to long
