Well, today my girlfriend found out that she can play Words with Friends on her Samsung Fascinate. Only, she had AdFree for Android installed, and it was causing numerous errors. So she did what any person of average intelligence would do: She googled an answer.

The gist of the issue is, when instructed to make sure her screen matched the screenshot exactly, of course she didn't. She dd'd two extra lines. Since then, she's not been able to search or go home.
When pressing the Search or the Home Softkey, it provides the haptic feedback and blinks the light, but nothing happens.
Also, I installed Galaxy Tuner as a workaround until I discovered a way to fix it (or enlisted the help of those of you here that are far more savvy than myself), and mapping the touch gestures to home and search, the same thing happens. Meaning, when the specified gesture for home is executed, it will provide the haptic feedback, but nothing else happens. So it registers the command, but it is not completed.
If you have any ideas how to fix this, or can just point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
Flash THIS FILE via CWM and it should reset melfastouchkey settings.
good day.
Hey Chopper, Thanks for the response. I did flash the download, but it was still exhibiting the same symptoms. In the end, I just did a wipe/reinstall.

Hi guys, I have a Htc Touch Dual.
Now the device has started to doing some strange things:S
- When I slide the phone up, and try to use the touchscreen, nothing happens. It doesn't react at all.
- The TouchFlo "cube" thing pop's up pretty often, without sliding it.
For example, I press "Calender/Contacts/sms/start/ etc" then the cube pop's up out of nowhere.
- Somethimes when I press "start" I get into "Calender". And the same with the right side. When I press the "running prosseses" i get into "Contacts"
I hace re-calibrated the screen several times, soft-reset, hard-reset, flashed it with several different ROM's. But nothing seems to help.
Anyone who knows what this is? Some settings in the registry or something? Or is it the hardware maybe? Please let me know!
Thanks
I would've sent it in to be repaired before flashing different ROMs onto it myself. Sounds like hardware trouble. If I were you I'd flash your original ROM and send it in to be repaired.
sounds like a hardware problem!!!
send it to repair!
I thought so :S
But I don't got my original ROM
Norwegian 16 keys, do someone know where to find it?
And after i have installed it, I just do the "reverse harspl thing"?
Is everything OK after that? Or do the repairers check sometihing else i should fix before delivery?
Start-> Settings->Phone-> Services tab. Select Location setting touch Get settings in the Phone: Location Setting the radial button option should be set to ON.
I was searching for a solution myself because after a hard reset my quick gps had this problem. I kept getting in my search results trying to remedy the supposed problem, i needed a cab download to fix it or registry tweak it, to get it going again. I re-stumbled on this again when i was playing with my phone and fixed, well cant say I fixed it cause it was never broken just had to switch that option to ON. Saved me from installing things that i didnt need or tweaking registry.
Also when i was doing my search for solutions this one was never brought up. Hopefully this helps some of you out there.
Thanks a lot.... I was wondering why I kept getting that error

Thanks alot. I went all the way up the CSR chain to Advance Tech with this problem and their final suggestion was to do a hard reset. Thanks for saving me unnecessary pain.
Worked GREAT! for me too!
Thx!

This is driving me nuts...

Wow so simple, THXS.
Thanks so much! This helped me too.
Thanks
Simple solution. Thanks again.
I was having problems with my data connection not working so I reset the phone and restored with titanium backup. Got the data working again, but now there is no security lock. I can enter no numbers or any numbers and hit the OK button and the phone unlocks. When i go to location and security and click on change screen lock, the next screen appears briefly then closes. The swipe fingerprint button on that screen is greyed out. So the security feature is disabled.
I have all the files from an older titanium backup when the screen lock was working. I am wondering if there are any files i can replace to get it working again. Any ideas appreciated--
Fingerprint Restore Problem
If anyone finds a solution to this problem, would you mind posting it?
This is the second thread I have come across while looking for the answer, and like a lot of the time when the original poster figures out a fix, the solution is never posted in the forums.
I just ran into this problem this morning, and I'm running in circles trying to figure out a fix. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer on the issue.
Thank you,
-Newbie

My screen lock is still disabled.
did anyone figure this out? im having trouble changing my screen lock. it keeps briefly going to the swipe finger authentification then popping back to the location and security settings screen. i cant change anything
Is there anyone who can help with this?
I seriously want to throw my phone at the wall right now...
I just flashed my Atrix and reloaded all backups from titanium pro and the issue I'm having has to do with my security settings. Every time I click on "Change Screen Lock" the prompt for my fingerprint comes up for a second and then goes away.
I had a fingerprint prior to the flash and I believe that's why I'm having an issue. I've already tried clearing data in Titanium pro for my settings and my fingerprint scanner 2.2.1.
I can't think of anything else to do, any help would be appreciated.
I shouldn't reply to this with an answer because YOU should know how to search as this has been discussed many times before (4 old threads that i can count).

Yeah, well I didn't see those threads so maybe you know something I don't...
Anyway, I don't understand that fix. I ended up just deleting the backup in titanium and flashing again, now all is well.
Thanks for the help any way.
Searched the forum but have had no luck finding this issue, but of course on searching using the touchpad so its not as easy as on a pc, so I nigh have just ran out of patients.
Anyways, is anyone's Touchpad constantly locking down while it sits idle? Basically the screen would be off but when I get back to it it doesn't respond to any of the buttons, only way to get it going is through the hard reset (top and home button). Am I missing some directions? Is there a special combination needed to activate the button control or is it really locking up?
Just to clarify, the touchpad could be sitting completely stationary and idle, and it still won't respond if I try to get it going. Also it seems to be at random, doesn't depend on a certain amount of time.
thanks for any input or link to another thread, I really want to give the touchpad a chance.
This is not typical behavior. I think I remember reading that this happening to someone else. I believe the suggestion was to use home button + volume up to wake it up. Or maybe it was power button + volume up? Sorry, I don't remember the exact combo, give'em both a try and see what you.
Thank you for the advice, however it was to no vial. No combination except for the hard reset returned a result.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
have you reimaged through? I'd give that a go since you seem to be having so many issues.
Re-imaging using built in "reset" or a third party software? and if some other software what would be recommended?
I had this, it was the overclocking...usually happened when I had my email open.
I originally had f15c, switched to warthog and all was good.

I have been on Beans 22 (as well as previous revisions) for quite some time without issue with disabling the home button using the standard gpio-keys.kl edit; completely removing "HOME" & "WAKE" as well as removing "HOME" and changing "WAKE" to "WAKE_DROPPED". I tried this first on Sophisticated v1.5 and found that with this file edited, my wifi would not start. v2.0 came out today so I figured I would do a clean install and try it again. With nothing else on the phone, my wifi works great until I edit this file. Once the file is edited and the phone rebooted, the wifi fails to start. It will show the icon as dimmed and just stick there. If trying to do it through settings, you can move it to 'ON' and it will go right back to 'OFF'.
Could someone else that is using this ROM confirm this or possibly shed some light on what might be going on?
I have been rooting and ROM'ing my phones since my old DroidX and have never had a reason to post before because I have always found help through searching. I have yet to find this specific problem though and do realize that it would be more appropriate to post in the developer thread, but since this is my first post on this forums, I cannot.
Thanks in advance!
Well... I did another fresh install, wiping everything except the external card before installing and wiping cache/davlik a few times after. This time, removing "HOME" & "WAKE" causes the same symptoms, but removing just "HOME" and changing "WAKE" to "WAKE_DROPPED" allows for normal operation. I am still not sure why this change would have anything to do with the WiFi, but it seems to be working properly now.
Updated to SR_KK_v1...
Having been on several different 4.3 based roms for quite a while, the information posted in the post immediately proceeding this worked great.
Last night I created a full backup and flashed SR KitKat v1. I have tried all of the combinations listed above and in other threads on the subject with zero impact on the operation of the home button. The changes had no affect on anything else for that matter (previously I had experienced wifi problems after modification).
I really need the home button disabled as I carry the phone in my pocket and with the home button able to wake the phone, it will do all sorts of weird things in my pocket.
This thread has been just me talking to myself so far, but I would greatly appreciate any help that the kind members of this forum can lend!
I work outside in the heat/humidity/dirt/mud and the safest location for my phone is in my pocket. Without the home wake disabled, the phone will unlock and things will happen. It has been a problem in the past for me. If it isn't for you, good, I'm glad, but stating so does not change my current situation.
