Motorola Droid :: Screen Does Not Work
Jun 17, 2010
So about a month ago i dropped my phone and i have a crack on the screen, but the screen still always worked and never had any problems with. By the way my droid if rooted and i have 2.2 on since Tuesday, which that has worked fine. But today i dropped my phone on carpet, and when i picked it up the screen now doesnt work. The QWERTY keyboard lights up, and the notification light lights up, and the charging light lights up when plugged in. I also have insurance. SO do you think Verzion will replace this phone with out having to pay?

I have suspected this on every ROM I have run (stock 2.1, all tranquility roms, and now rubix 0.3 (which I love except the single unexpected shutdown of the phone once).
My screen just doesn't turn off no matter what the settings/display/screen timeout is set to (30 sec, 1 min...)
I test it by turning on the phone, sliding to unlock and then staring at my homescreen with a stopwatch. It can be 5-10 minutes before it turns off.
I have interrogated with spareparts and the phone does have a high percentage of "running" from bluetooth and wifi, but isn't the screen supposed to shut off even with those background processes running??
I don't have anything special installed for power management, just stock stuff.
I went to the market and found some power managers but I don't have any confidence a third party app will solve this problem.

Idk if its a weird mode the phone is set in but all of a sudden today i've noticed a few random things happen...
1. the Home button won't work, it vibrates but does nothing when pressed
2. I have no unlock screen, when i press the power button it just brings me right to where i left off.
3. My ringtones were all set to silent
4. when i hold the power button the only option i have now is to turn the screen off.

Actually this question applies to any widget that requires data from a remote server.
The answer would be pure speculation, but how do you think the widget gets its data? For those that don't know, the widget shows a history of your friends' latest status updates.
Some answers that I can think of:
The widget polls the API directly
The widget grabs data from some
service that's running in the
background, which polls the server
Somehow Facebook implemented push on
Android which I don't think exists
The widget somehow detects that the
user is using the screen and grabs
the data on demand

Tasker does not seem to function unless I use the motorola control panel and turn on bluetooth, wifi, and gps. If I shut these off via the control panel then tasker does not turn them on at the appointed times and events.Which begs the question, is tasker REALLY turning them off? or are the icons just going away in the notification bar (because they still show as on in the control panel widget)Has anyone else noticed this issue?

I swear I tried this at some point and it worked, but I checked with Motorola about whether or not the GPS receiver will work when the phone is in airplane mode. They say it doesn't.Can anyone confirm whether or not the GPS (not aGPS, just good old fashioned, slow to download datum and get a fix GPS) works when in airplane mode?I'm traveling overseas to Japan, and only want to use wifi and GPS, so I thought I'd just leave the phone in airplane mode the whole time, but I'm really going to need GPS working (I'm using Maverick Pro for offline maps). I'd go out and try it, but it's snowing and crappy, and I don't want to sit outside that long

I'm trying to determine whether or not my phone is defective, or if this is a current problem with the Cliq.
Of the apps I've downloaded, only a few of them have worked. Of those few that work, some don't work right. Has anyone had problems with these apps crashing on them, or just not working correctly?
- Nice Battery (see description at bottom of: My Ultimate CLIQ settings (so far))
- WeatherBug (kept showing the wrong location, crashed when trying to change location)
- Snake - doesn't work just says its "paused"
- RingDroid - crashes when I select the "Facebook Pop" button
- Layar - screen is rotated 90 degrees at all times
There have been others, but usually I just uninstall them right after discovering it doesn't work right.

I know we cant post links or anything to SBF files or anything like that..thats not what this thread is about..i like many others have gotten a hold of the sbf..i was playing around with my phone almost looking for a way to mess it up so i could use it..i managed that pretty quickly...i am pretty good with doing everything to my phone..rooting..updated to 2.2 and all of that..and i had a pretty good idea what the sbf file actually did but now i have some questions...so hopefully this thread can be a thread for general questions about the sbf not relating to where to get it or how to use it...
I was lead to believe from just about every forum that using rsd and the sbf would totally flash ur phone back to 2.1 stock like the first day you turned it on...before flashing the sbf to my phone i looked at probably every single site and forum out there that had directions..(i like to find out if there are different ways of doing stuff and want to see people experiences)...every site was the same just load rsd and the patch and then flash....well once i flashed my phone it rebooted by its self and when it turned on all i had to do was activate...everything else was still on my phone...apps...settings..wallpaper etc...i know you can go into recovery and do a data wipe and clear cache but it makes me feel like the phone is not back to 100% stock as i thought the sbf did everything..so my question is..
What exactly does the sbf do....
1. Is it supposed to 100% erase everything and put it back to stock 2.1
2. Are you supposed to have to manually wipe date/clear cache and then flash the sbf and if so then what is the sbf doing..

Has anyone tried Giro Tuneups (Skull Candy) or something similar to listen to tunes and talk hands free while boarding or skiing? I'd like to be able to voice dial my droid while it is inside my ski parka (I know BT voice dialing isn't supported) but I wonder if anyone has had success with the wired versions..

I've seen that others have SNESoid on their DX's but when I installed SNESoid light on my DX and went to freeroms.com I get a black screen.Here's is what I did.
1.Installed SNESoid lite and ASTRO
2. Went to freeroms.com
3. Direct DLed ROM .zips of FF3, Super mario bros. to my phones SD.
4. Opened with ASTRO went to download folder and extracted in same folder.
5. Opened SNESoid lite and it went to download folder. It only showed the zip folders and not the actual roms.
6. so I clicked on the .zip folder but I either get a black screen or really screwy lines.

I started another post because my slideshow does not work w/ my new Media Dock, BUT come to find out the Slideshow does not work out of the dock either. I had just never tried/played it. So I figured I would start a new post in case anyone else has this issue in the future. I have tried messing w all the slideshow settings and nothing helps it, all I get is 1 picture that comes up and never changes?

All I really want is a black notification bar. I like the stock icons, I prefer the green color scheme to the blue that a lot of roms change it to. But really anything would be better than the stock white. Any themes out there that work with the new BB? The couple I've tried cause the phone to fail to boot (stuck at Motorola screen)

When you download a theme it is XX.XMB. Does that amount get added on to the original ROM, or does it replace the information in the original ROM?The reason I ask is because I have always been curious as to if a theme in theory would slow down a ROM? I mean I know that even if it did it would be so miniscule that nobody would surely notice, but I'm curious just the same.

Does the USB port on Driod support an USB headset like the one you plug into a computer's USB port? Connection wise, I can use the charging USB cable, an USB Type A female to female gender changer, then plug an USB headset onto it. Of course this is not for mobility. I would like to use my comfortable USB headset with my Droid wile working at my home office.

Ringcontrol sounds like a neat app that sets the ringer mode depending on whether the phone is set face-up or face-down. Since it's tied to the hardware, I wanted to see if any Droid users have tried it and have found it to work.

I'm using BB V0.4 and maps.apk is in the system/apps folder. Ive tried removing it from there and installing through the market and it wont install. Ive tried removing and putting another Maps.apk back in the system/apps folder and it still wont work. Ive changed the permissions to make sure its like the other apps in the apps folder. It doesn't even show up anywhere on my system. I also have Fabs X theme running on top, but he doesn't theme the Maps.apk. I don't get it, whats the problem?

Is it possible to get the droid to work on another network and if so would changing roms or even loading a nandroid backup kill the flash that got it to work on the other network or is that info stored like the base band is and never changes unless you do want it to?
I know this is a shot in the dark but there is almost always someone on here that knows so I thought I would try.
