Serious bug when making calls

There is a serious bug with the built in phone app , I was wondering whether any of you are suffering this.
When you dial a number manually and hit the arrow to delete one of the digits, the phone goes berzerk, starts dialing loads of 0pw00's and locks up.
Same happens when scrolling through the contacts on the phone app (not the standard contacts app) and tapping the forward hardkey to change from say a Mobile number to a Home number for the listed contact

Nop just tried it all is good.

Not experienced that problem, but i have experienced another problem in the phone app.
when you select a contact in the phone app, and push either left or right on the scroll wheel to select the next available number in the contact, i.e. business, home, mobile2, etc, it will just keep scrolling until you reset the phone. really annoying if you want to select a number other than the default number for the contact.

Yes Yes! I just tested it and it happens.
The thing is, I managed to break out of the loop.. Not sure how, but I kinda repeatedly pressed all the HW buttons, etc
Now I can't reproduce it.. hmmmm

happens here also but only if i try changing the number with the "go right" button. "go left" works. interesting because it is the third ROM and in all 3 of them i had the same problem.

My problem go so worse that I could not press any hardware buttons in the phone app. Sadly I had to hard reset. Now the problem has disappeared, but I have yet to install any apps onto my device..

I have none of the above problems

same here no problem.

Got the same problem on the call history but not all the time
French rom 1.37.406.1
Got another two annoying bugs:
- the clock that show minutes after minutes non stop (1Minute per second)
- a part of screen not updating on the SMS/MMS application

Okay the bug has returned sadly... After I spent hours reinstalling all of my apps.
The problem is not limited to the phone app, it happens when I tap any key on the SIP or press any hardware button - a bunch of text is pasted.
I created a txt document and tapped a button so I could copy all of the crap it pastes,
it is attached
This is driving me nuts and makes the phone unusable. Im certain this is the fault of software rather than hardware. Can anyone help?

To me it seems like one of the 3rd party apps that you installed is causing this. If it was me, after a hard reset I would test it after installing each app to find the guilty one.

Same here. But luckily I don't have to reset the phone. By pressing some buttons randomly I get it out of the loop. But it's annoying all the same! Doesn't happen every time though... that's quite strange. Don't know why it goes wrong, so I can't do anything about it.

i have the same problem!! hope the coming new rom can help!

Could be a third party app, I thought. So curiously I went through my installed apps list. First on the list was remote desktop mobile (the new version with the device mapping feature which doesnt actually work) - So, I uninstalled that and voila, the bug has disappeared.
Bad news is that I really need remote desktop. Perhaps I installed a bad CAB. Anyone have a decent cab that is proven to work?

Voice GUI question

Hi all,
I updated to the new version of google voice last week. Since then, every time I press back button in the Voice application, the screen show some transition and bounce right back to the same screen, another tap on the back button exit the app. Now it takes two tap on the back button to exit from the application. Is it just a quirk on my phone or it's universal?
Thanks. I don't know if I made the problem clear. It's hard to explain, just a GUI glitch I guess.

Have you tried un-installing and reinstalling the app?

Yup, I tried to roll back the update and reinstall it. The problem persists. I'm not sure how to fix that.

I noticed that too.

Can someone help me out?

I tried doing a search but I honestly don't know what to enter--tried button layout, android controls, etc--no dice.
On the Touch, it used to be that if you held the camera button down, it took you straight to home. That does not seem to be the case anymore. Can anyone tell me if the Touch has a way to do that now--and if not, how in the world are you getting out of the browser without losing all of your progress? Task Switcher doesn't seem to allow me to choose my home screen, and if I switch to something else and then exit out of that, my browser is waiting for me, like the sneaky bastard it is.

if you aare using an nbh that has the task switcher built into it, then you need to only hold the camera button for a second for home.
tap - back
hold for a sec - home
long hold - task switcher

Awesome! It's going to take some getting used to, but this is a huge help.
Now if I could only figure out how to install themes...

(Wanted) Optical Sleep Wake

I am wanting to know if anyone can port the program for the nexus to the aria, that when the trackpad is pushed the phone will wake. I know that coming from an Iphone that is a huge benefit.

seconded.
it's a pain to reach over to push the power button every time because the phone slides towards if you if face up on desk pushing trackpad button much more elegant solution.

Hello, I am a new member and I thought I'd join and tell you what I found. I've been using my Aria for about a week already. I used lock2.0 (bugs and keeps your phone running idle, not standby), nolock (basically takes away lock all together and only wakes it up), this widget screen mode (bugs) thing and a couple others..
Anyways the best solution (in my opinion) is this app called "lockbot." It wakes the phone up using the trackpad and volume keys. The free version lacks the password but if you get the pro, you can add the pass code functionality (not for me especially if you need to do an emergency call plus you can always download a kill app in case your phone gets stolen). A good thing about it too is that you can modify your lock screens i.e. iphone style, x10 style, froyo style, etc. I got 5 different types cycling randomly. You can also change a few options i.e. lock during a call so you dont do a "face hang up" or shake to unlock. The only real bug I found so far was the x10 lockscreen because it would lag for about a second.
I know a few may say "oh the side keys will get hit and drain the battery" but honestly, after using the app for like 5 days, I haven't notice any change in battery consumption. Not wearing out your power button pretty much outweighs losing a minuscule of battery life.
Hope it helps. Of course you can try out the other apps to see if they suit you =)

I'm using lockbot now and it's exactly what I was looking for. I'll keep an eye on battery life and report back if it seems to drop.

Awesome suggestion, thanks!!

Btw I was going through the configurations. Apparently you can set a lock code for the lockscreen once you swipe it. You have to pay for the swipe lock but it's free to put in a numeric lock code.
Cheers

I tried lockbot and uninstalled it.
-It does not support the Aria's native resolution.
-Won't let you load BG pics smaller than the 480 x 846 or whatever the res of the device it was made for is.
-When you press the power button to lock and then immediately hit it again, it never locks, just shows the home screen again.
Would it be hard to port the N1's app? I just want something simple that works

nope
didn't work out for me.
almost locked me out of the phone.
I think it doesn't play well with task killer.

Im using an app called "no lock" disables the slide lock and you can jus press the optical button, volume or power buttons to unlock the phone.

Same here, works great.

This just became available on the Incredible...I am sending the file that needs to be edited to the dev who created it for the Incredible so he can make it work for the Aria as well. You can take a look at the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7267384#post7267384
If anyone has access to the phone now and knows how to use adb you can pull the file off and send it to him. If not I'll send it to him later tonight.

Optical wake working for me
EDIT-Short Version...
-:Have Clockwork Recovery Installed and know how to use ADB:-
-DOWNLOAD ATTACHED qwerty.kl (may need 7zip to extract file from archive...)
-BOOT into CLOCKWORK recovery with NO USB PLUGGED INto phone!!!
-PARTITIONS>MOUNT /SYSTEM
-adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot
END EDIT
First android phone! I love it. I too wanted optical press-to-wake, particularly because my ATT case made the power button a bit of a pain to press. First real post, been here a bit, I mostly just read/search.
Anyways...I had been searching around the file system getting myself acquainted with android and found /system/usr/keylayout.
It has 4 files in it, one of which is qwerty.kl. It sounded promising so I checked it out.
Long story short, I took a look at it, tried changing our DPAD_CENTER to WAKE instead of WAKE_DROPPED (just like the power button, seemed logical ), but it didn't work. Did some more searching and saw that the key was key # 272 on another phone instead of 232 in our qwerty.kl. I have it working now. Here's the thread I read to figure it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729923
I did this in windows...(I have ADB working and Clockwork Recovery, you should get these too, invaluable tools)
1. Boot into clockworkmod recovery
2. Go to Partions Menu and Mount /System
3. adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (this pulls a file, qwerty.kl, and puts it in your adb tools directory)
4. Now you need to open the qwerty.kl file and edit it.
5. Use notepad, or notepad++, or vi, anything really.
6. Search qwerty.kl for key 232 DPAD_CENTER WAKE_DROPPED
7. Change 232 to 272
8. Change WAKE_DROPPED to just WAKE
9. Save the file
Now we need to push the file back to the device. This sounds very easy, and is, except I had trouble and got stuck in clockwork twice and had to pull the battery, as I think when I went to select reboot or unmount in clockwork (using the trackpad...), my newly changed trackpad was probably making everything act up. So I tried twice and had to pull batt twice before I just figured I would streamline my commands. (edit-trackpad works normally in clockwork after next step.)
10. do this! adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot
This will push your new qwerty.kl file to the phone and reboot it without you having to use the trackpad which could leave you potentially stuck in clockwork recovery, thus avoiding the inconvenience of taking off your case/back.
I attached my qwerty.kl in a 7z archive so you hopefully can just extract it to wherever you need it and just adb push it to /system/usr/keylayout.
Good luck. Let me know if it works.
When the phone reboots you will be able to press the optical trackpad and wake the phone!
I haven't really tested it more than waking the phone a half dozen times but it seems to do what I want. When getting stuck in clockwork concerns me, I will simply edit my qwerty.kl file as needed when doing clockworkmod recovery work as it is a fairly simple and straightforward process.
EDIT-phone functions EXACTLY as before except can now wake via trackpad press!

Questions, why were you using the trackpad in clockwork?
Also, I like how no lock works since I have a security code on my device. When I dont feel like entering my code everytime the screen blacks out, I just run no lock and I wake the device up using the trackpad. Will your modification do the same? Or once I wake the device up, it will take me to the security screen?

Because I could...? haha. I think it did the same thing when i tried selecting with the power button as well, can't recall, and didn't futz with it enough to remember it today. Could be a clockwork error or my own...
This doesn't get rid of the lock screen, it just wakes the phone with a trackpad push which I believe was the original intent of the thread. "No lock," well...gets rid of the lock screen which is a different function all together. I don't use a code/pattern on my phone, just the standard drag down lockscreen, its not terribly inconvenient to me.
I find it a bit more convenient since my thumb is already there when I pick up the phone. Also, whenever I would demo my phone to anyone else (whether they owned an iphone or not) they would ALWAYS try to push the trackpad to wake it, and I would ALWAYS have to point them to the awkward power button.
I'm not a huge fan of installing random stuff, and this does exactly what I want. Simple fix ftw.

HTC should really rethink their "wake up" button, using power button up on top is a real pain.

@MOD
Sticky @ Development section please !

haven't done this yet so feel free to correct me but this looks to just change the wake button from the power to the optical. is there a way to allow both to wake the phone?
either way great work.

[SOLVED] Anyone Know How...

Okay, so I want to be able to do a couple of things. The first is nagging me, as I'm sure there's a way to do it, the second I'm not so sure about.
1) I want to be able to access the multi-tasking/Recent Apps list from anywhere. My idea is to push and hold Menu to get it to pop up, since Home uses Google Now when it's pushed and held. I know there was a way to do that with the search key back when we had 4 keys using LaunchKey, but I can't find anything to let me assign push/hold functionality to Menu. I'm rooted, so I'm sure there's a way to do this...
2) This I'm not so sure of. Because of the charging port being on the side of the phone, it works best in my car when it's held in a landscape orientation in my windshield-mounted dock. This is great for everything except one thing: the dialer. I know in most AOSP custom ROMs I've used on other phones, the dialer rotates with the phone. Since I've rarely stuck to stock on a phone before, and we're kind of forced to here, is there a way to get the dialer to rotate?

Double tap the home key brings up the recent apps.

1. What jonslice says.
2. Download another dialer in the play store.

Holy crap. I feel so stupid now. How did I not know that? LOL
And yeah, downloaded another dialer. Forgot I could do that (since I've never really done it before). Thanks guys!
