Last month, buy a ViewPad 10s. Great device. Thanks to this forum I can install the market and install many things. Until one day, after seeing a movie (Mobo player) I started missing the touch screen. I could not even unlock it!. I turned it off and set aside. The next day started as if nothing had happened. But with the passing of a few days, began to fail often, and not resolved by switching off. Until today that is totally screwed. Not react as it should, and I can not access at all to any of the functions. Here's a short video of what I'm telling you.
(search in youtube "viewpad 10s touch screen problem", the one from chgalvez user)
I've tried calibrate.ini, and almost all .apk calibration apps that are in the forum. I've try as last chance to upgrade with an official rom from viewsonic(1.09), but dont' work neither.
Anyway I think I can't prove anything more as the touchscreen almost no response at all.
Anyone have an idea if there a method to calibrate from the outside, with a USB cable or something?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english...
Wish I could help, but you are posting in the VPAD7 forum - the hardware & firmware are different - you need to go to the Viewsonic Gtablets forum (10" screen size) as folks over there should be better able to help you.
Assuming you are running unrooted device & stock/OEM ROM's - correct?
Best of luck !
Oh, OK, thanks! the device is rooted( z4root method, OK in 1st chance, no problems) and the Fw is an original upgrade from viewsonic....

My SGS2 is rebooting itself 3 or 4 times a day, I'll do a quick reflash but I noticed it happened even before I rooted with the KDD kernel but didn't think anything of it.
Has anyone else noticed random reboots and is there a log file or app which can help diagnose the issue?

A quick search for 'random reboot' reveals:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059129&highlight=random+reboot
C'mon lad...first rule of the book: Use search!
no prob, I only did a lazy search, ie I just looked through recent posts.
If no one else is having an issue then its likely to be an app I have installed, I had thought it might be linked to me uninstalling the samsung hub stuff? But that was after rooting.
I'll flash the new firmware and see if it goes away.
Mods please feel freer to delete our close the thread.

I would definitely do a factory reset if all else fails
That's probably my thread...
I was getting lots of reboots on original firmware and factory reset didn't help....
However I uodated to xdd (full rom, not the root kernel) and it hasn't happened since!
Reflashed this morning with the kdf rom, had no reboots since
Sent from my GT-I9100
which are the roms "kdf" and "xdd"
sorry I'm new in samsung
thanks for any help
random reboots
And i wan't to know what xdd and kdf means.and a link with this rom's as weel if someone pleases.I have a problem with quick auto reebots as well and i haved istalled lots of diferent rooms with and the problem still there.plese help!
Many, including myself, have narrowed it down to Dolphin HD. Others to having apps installed to SD.

in my case none of the problems you said is my problem.i'v restord it to factory settings,flashed 2.3.4 kg1,2.3.5 k2/j3/ki3,cum rom light'ning v6.1,and now i flashed 2.3.3 xwkdf to see if this firmware solvs the problem.
Same here
Hi,
I had the Samsung Galaxy Y pro GT-B5510 random reboot problem. I'm a PhD CompSci very comfortable with flasing roms etc.
I tried everyting I could think of and I mean everyting a PhD CompSci could think of.
The last thing I tried:
With clockworkmod, I tested all my keys. (My Phone has physical keyboard) and all keys where OK!
Then I tried the clear dalvik cache and fix permissions.
It did not work, 2 minutes later a random reboot. aaaahgggg
Confident that not the SD card or firmware is the cause of this problem, I knew my Phone had a defect.
So I took my Phone, and I know this is not a scientific method. But a method that seems to work on electronics from time to time.
SOLUTION:
-With my knuckles, I bashed the backside of my Phone a few times, pretty hard I might add, NEVER be too gentle with electronics!
Now my pone has not rebooted a single time for over 18 Hrs. and still going strong! And it is so fast with Next Launcher! Amazing! That is one amazing launcher!! I cracked it, and I won't tell how, but you should buy this launcher, and I will as soon there is a payment method that works for me on the Android market. The memory management of this launcher is the best in the world!!
If this problem ever returns, I will try the bashing method first, could save me days of work.... LOL
And this is actually a very good method, it works on TV's on Radio's, it works on Android Phone's randomly rebooting, and most other electronics. It is reported to help on airplane, space shuttle, helicopter and warp drive engine control panels lol. ect. ect.
Really;
Just try this method, if you are going desperate! I have so many good experiences with this method, you can't deny it works often!!
Sometimes I think it is just a flipflop hanging, and the shock might shake it lose. So this method is actually more scientific then you think. <-- Physical shocks are known to fix electronics and chips sometimes!
So bash your Phone good and see if your problem is solved! Do not damage the Phone, just a few good hard knocks!
A few pretty hard knuckle bashes on the back of you Phone, won't damage it. It is fast, so it is worth a try! And that goes for all electronics with mysterious problems...
I am sooooo happy my Phone does not reboot anymore. You have no Idea! I don't care I had to bash it a little, IT WORKS like a charm!!
All my education..... and the method that works is simple bashing... How Ironic.
It is still running, if I do not post or modify this, I still have not got the random reboot problem back!
Trust me bashing now confirmd; Might solve random Android reboots! You have a good chance it will work!
whoooooo so happy now!!!
Just for fun, if this method fixed your problem don't forget to reply here, and thank me, I'm curious just how good a method bashing is!
Ok, my A101IT has been slowly but surely giving me the F*U "finger" and I'm really getting sick of it. I'm about as sick enough to newly take up the sport of Disc Golf and use my A101IT as my starting first disc frisbee!
Here are all of my problems:
1) Completely dead USB port.
2) WiFi turns itself on only half the time when the device is turned on from being off. (Device's Wifi Setting reads "Error" most of the time when device is turned on from being off, yet the device is always connected AND authorized with correct network password at my home).
3) Now my soft buttons on the far right side of the screen have vanished and I cannot get them back whatsoever.
Side Notes:
I have never uninstalled or "accidentally" deleted anything I wasn't supposed to but I will say I do have it permanently rooted to FW 2.3.20 via Chulri's Method. One-by-one these problems stared happening about a month ago. I'm considering upgrading to FW 2.3.26 but I don't know if that will fix my WiFi problem? Also, how do I get my soft buttons back?! Hell, for that matter can ANYTHING be done to fix ANY of the above?! Also, I had previously installed a 3rd-party Wifi Manager and that still didn't work.
Please help because I'm about to lose my mind here! .... I'm seriously starting to doubt Archos for sure now and as the rest of the year progresses with a more passionate hatred! Knowing that there has been vast amounts of proof (on XDA here & ArchosFans) that the Gen 8 A101IT is **** and is not really expected to work let alone turn on after 6 months of being perfectly new just makes me wonder how "reliable" the new Gen 9 series A101IT's are going to be.
P.S. - I bought mine off eBay from this guy who bought the A101IT as new back in March '11 and used it maybe 5-6 times so I bought it off him in late April '11. Nothing was on the device and everything was wiped clean. From the time I bought it off him-to-the end of May I never had any problems whatsoever because at that point I thought Archos was the best tablet company on the market but that all changed last month.
Any and all suggestions are welcome! If I use it as my first disc golf frisbee what color should I spray paint it? Or maybe take it out to my local gun shooting range and use it as target practice?

To be fair, some of this has nothing to do with Archos. You need to reinstall your firmware. If your soft buttons "disappeared" without you setting the board.prop, something is seriously wrong with the UnionFS.
As for the rest of it, you are an early adopter, that's the price you pay for wanting a tablet before the hardware was viable. Buy a second gen Transformer or Xoom if you want a "finished" product.
I don't blame you for not knowing(definitely not flaming you or anything), but Archos has, and will always be, a pioneer. They were the first to make an mp3 player, the first to use a hard drive in media players, the first to have color screens, the first to have touchscreens, etc. There are heavy costs associated with pioneering, so they simply aren't going to make as good a product as the rest, because they get theirs out at least a year before the other companies can get to market.

And they were the first, who did an android tablet
The A5It for 200€ i had this it was very laggy but after some fw updates it was good.
I sold my A5It to a friend, and now he get Cyanogenmod..(propably)
Bubu said he work on that
This is another hope for me:
If A5IT, stock 1.6, gets Gingerbread(2.3.4), i think we'll get HC or ICS
Ok, well it seems that something major was wrong with my permanent rooted install of FW 2.3.20 via Chulri's Method so I figured why not try to install UrukDroid 1.0? Installing UrukDroid also got my soft buttons back on my screen via the "Small Buttons" setting on UrukDroid AND fixed my Wifi connection problem I was having before and it seems to be real neat and a hell of a lot more stable than Chulri's Method but I have one (probably) minor problem. Whenever the device gets turned on from being off OR I go to install a Google Market App it gives me an error message that reads... "The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I don't know if it has been asked on how to fix that problem with the process thing because I skimmed over some of the UrukDroid Installation in the Dev's forum but I didn't find anything on how to solve it. So are there any solutions to this so I can get rid of this annoying little message??
Also, it shows that the version of my FW is 2.1.8 but I get this notification to upgrade to FW 2.3.26 and I'm just wondering if it's a good idea to upgrade? If I upgrade to FW 2.3.26 will I lose my permanent root access with UrukDroid 1.0?

You can't upgrade through Uruk, just ignore the message. As for the force close, try installing Arctools from Appslib, and using it to reinstall the Google applications.

Did it help with the dead USB port?
I wouldn't count on that.
The 101 ( the first few batches ) is known to blow the usb port, that's why archos quickly accepts RMA on it.
If you bought it at Saturn/MM try to talk to them.
Well here is what I ended up doing to solve the "disappearing soft buttons.":
- I completely and fully reformatted my A101IT to factory settings.
- Reinstalled UrukDroid 1.0
- Flashed Chulri's Kernel to get permanent root access for FW 2.3.26 at 1000 MHz
(Found out that the OC to 1200 MHz for FW 2.3.20 will not work whatsoever for FW 2.3.26, but Chulri's Method of Permanent Root Access works on FW 2.3.26 only to an OC of 1000 MHz. I now see that the above case is pretty obvious but not at first to noobs like me when I first started out).
- Rebooted
- Device works now but the Wifi thing keeps on happening but less often.
As a side note:
No, removing Chulri's Method and Installing UrukDroid 1.0 did not solve the dead USB port. I didn't think installing UrukDroid 1.0 would solve it anyway since it's a deep hardware issue. I'm assuming in due-time the USB port eventually dies because the battery is too close in proximity to the USB port on the inside when it heats up and probably gets so hot from normal use that it unsolders the USB port from the motherboard after a certain amount of time possibly because the USB port and the battery coils and its connections are probably improperly heat resistant. Kind of like the Xbox 360's Ring of Death I would imagine. I went through 5 of them, from the most basic one to the top-end Elite and every one in-between years ago but that's a different story altogether, lol. Don't you just love technology sometimes....? I vote that this is all FUBAR.
Oh, I have a Board Version 6 by the way.
Hi first of all sorry about my English.
Ok my phone has an at&t froyo i just install superuser, slide loading, the weptop hack and the sim unlocked.
I'm using spb 3d launcher and every time i do a restart it seems that the spb it's working on his on, if a let it awake charging some times it's go to some shortcut like if i press it but i didn't (that didn't bother me too much ).
but two days ago one part of the top of the touch screen stop working i can't select the shortcuts on the top of the screen. and yersterday the phone got possessed and start opening thinks randomly. i just uninstall spb and it seems to stop with the gibberish. but today it's the same i can't use phone because i just simple touch the screen and it start again with the gibberish movements.
i'm going to do a restore and i if that fix the gibberish but the part of the screen that doesn't respond is what i worry the most. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico i buy the atrix on craiglist from some guy in san diego, ca. he said that the phone was warranty until feb 2012.
Please help any one
I reset my phone and still the same parts of the screen does not respond and the screen start shaking and doing thing uncontrol.
Please could be sw or is the hardware and i need to change the phone.
Sounds like a hardware problem.
Not sure what the problem could be.....there's a girl I know who's had similar problems, I'll ask her or put you in touch with her. Sounds like yer digitizer?

I am having the same issue, this was on CM7 only flashed yesterday and then I tried to restore my backup rom and this has the same issue??
Hope someone can sort out the problem.
It sounds like a hardware problem in which you should;
A) buy a whole new screen and install it (they will give you the tools to take it apart)
B) Send it back to Motorola if you haven't voided your warranty by unlocking the phone
or
C) this is a long shot as I do think it is hardware related, you should try this fix just to be sure that it is a hardware problem. Mind you this will do nothing more than refresh the .pds file that affects the touchscreen. Touchscreen fix!
definetly sounds like a broken digitizer to me
I have taken my phone in for repair(Not a official MOTO repairer) and I just got a phone call, he believes it is a software issue? I am not convinced, because I have tried 4 different roms? He said he is going to format/wipe phone. I told him I have installed roms to replace software and I thought that this would wipe/replace software problem?
Anyway I guess, I will found out if it sorts out the random screen movement and widget press?

I got the phone back yesterday, all working ok.
I quickly broke it again by trying to install a stock rom and then root it, but it introduced the same random screen/widget issues(I tried wipe/format, but no good?). I then install 2 custom rom, CM7 and Aura and I still had problems, then I install HomeBase and problem has been sorted. Have no idea why it fixed the issue just happy it is fixed. Just to have refrain from installing other roms......for now anyway

I spoke to soon, last night it started the random screen judder and random widget pressing.....
I am not sure what is going on....I've had the phone for about 12 days now(second hand from eBay) and for the first 4-5 days the phone was fine. I then installed CM7 and for about 12-24 hours the phone was ok. Then the random screen/widget issues happened. Did many, many wipe's/formats of various roms and all these issue occurred more or less straight away.
Then I installed HomeBase and for about 6-8 hours, all was ok until lastnight. I guess it is either new motherboard time or new phone time....
Hi All
Total Android noob question. I have received my new Galaxy S2 (P) and updated to ICS via Keis. All went well and I'm starting to get to know the phone. (Been a Winmo user up 'til now) Anyway I have noticed that sometimes a red frame around the screen briefly flashes when moving between apps or doing other stuff. The phone seems to be functioning correctly and is certainly fast. I'm sure this "flashing" wasn't there initially so is there something I should be aware of or is this "normal" Any advice gratefully received
Adam
I had the same problem on my Galaxy S II & found the solution on another forum so not my solution...
menu/settings/developer options/.... & uncheck strict mode enabled.
This fixed it for me.
Thanks ericb. I had also found the same answer on another forum and it has worked. Thanks again
Just found this, Thanks a lot. Didn't think it first helped on my HTC One X, but after a restart the red frame is finally gone
Thanks ericb
Thanks man, it work after restarting my phone.. i've unchecked and checked for so many times previously.. lol noob me
Hello guys,
I'm a noob, and this is my first thread and the reason why I'm here are my problems with my HTC Desire X.
I already read the rules and I was searching for a similar thread, but I did not found anything. I was reading a lot of threads here, but I decided to open a new one.
The problem:
I have this Desire X for 5 monts (CID: HTC_032) and it was working great until two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I got the update for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (software num: 2.20.401.5). After the installation, the phone continue working great, but after 5-6 days, the problems begun.
Now the phone is not usable, in sense that the keyboard is useless, so If I try to type something, the middle row of the keyboard is untouchable, if I try to touch A, either I get Q or Z. Also if I try to touch some icons on the main screen in that area its not registered ( I need to press 4-5 times so the app is activated )
I have tried to do a factory reset many times and the phone after some of the resets is working great for some hours, and then is getting jerky again..I assume that some memory is filled after a while and the phone is not usable..
I was reading for installing the stock ICS, but I'm not sure if that will solve the problem. I mean, is there anyone else that has this problem or maybe you guys already identified this problem. I'm little bit sceptic that this might be a hardware problem, or it is a software one?
I would appreciate if you help me identify and solve the problem

Reading your post, it seems like a faulty digitizer, which only HTC can replace. Have you ever installed custom roms? If not, get it to HTC as quickly as possible.

Thanks for your post..I have only installed the update via the legal Software Update button, nothing else..
So, it is a hardware problem, like I was thinking..but I'm confused why it was working nice before two weeks and now suddenly start doing this stuffs..
Anyway probably I would take it to a service, because it is still under warranty and I would be happy if I get a new one..

Hardware can randomly fail. I've had many phones work one day and the next day they would refuse to work. I'd say get it to service center as quickly as possible before the entire digitizer fails.
