[Galaxy S I9000 General] Steph_1973:
Dust specs on the camera sensor, chances are the sensor and lens autofocus assembly are a sealed unit making it hard to clean, if they are not sealed a good blow with a rocket blower would shift them.

Other wise either send it in for service or give the phone a few sort sharp knocks on the palm of your hand along the oposite edge from where the dust apears. The sensor is mirrored so what apears bottom left is actually top right.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pan466:
thank you steph that makes sense...

how can i find cameras sensor to clean it?

i don't think the dust is on the len right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Steph_1973:
The actual dust specs will probably be about .5mm in size its possible they are on the lens but i would put money on the sensor. Aim the camera at a bright suface in macro mode such as a white computer screen with a black dot to help focus. Give the phone a few knocks and see if it shifts any, repeat process a few times. If nothing moves then either dissasemble or send it in. Remember opening the unit up could introduce more dust.

The sensor is located directly behind the lens, it is would have a Glass filter over it NEVER EVER touch it with anything if you dont know exactly what you are doing. I would imagine it is about the same size as the glass cover (probably smaller) dust will be attracted to it like a magnet, you could try a rocket blower, or canned air ( no more than 2 sprays or it will ice up.

Dont get me wrong its very easy to clean but super easy to scratch with even the best cloth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pan466:
i tried to knock on it but nothing moved :(

i guess im gonna try a rocket blower or something like that. honestly i don't want to send it in...

btw thank you very much for your help steph.

Ok so i couldn't find this mentioned in the DZ forum, apologies if it has already been.

Basically i have been tring to root my DZ using the rage method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843014

I got all the way to the end, flashed hboot etc, all good, then ran /data/local/tmp/root and recieved the 'mkdir: /system/xbin already exists' error, which i know is usual. So i assumed i'd done things right, waited a minute, then restarted phone.

When i started the phone up it came up with an error saying System UIDs inconsistent. You need to wipe your data partition or you device will be unstable.

I thought this was strange as i hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere. I then went into terminal emulator to see if superuser permissions where on, i typed su, and got permission denied. the $ sign was back in terminal too. I take it my root didn't work? Any suggestions?

And what does this error mean, can i ignore it?

in hboot i get:

Vision PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.84.200 (PC1011000)

MICROP-0425

Ok guys, more information

I have downgraded to firmware version 1.34.405.5

I have looked through heaps of guides, tried cyanogen's wiki, gfree and rage methods. Only thing i haven't resorted to is visionary because i'm hesitant.

I am still worried about this system UID error that appears every time i start up, i am thinking that if i can solve this i may have more luck.

So basically can anyone help me work my way through this? I feel like i have exhausted my searching options, and now am not getting any luck here on xda either.

Thanks in advance for all your help guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliott2705:
DID IT!

For fear the mods might have a go at me for constantly posting i will only briefly explain what i did.

I simply formatted sd card, factory reset phone. This removed my UID error.

Then followed this method:

You could have fixed the problem without starting from scratch. I just ran into the problem myself and was able to fix it by going into cwm and restoring permissions under the advanced tab. hope this helps anyone who has this same issue, it took me a while to find a solution

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
SwiftKey has a beta for tablets now, and it has a special landscape mode for thumb typing where the letters are on the right sides of the screen and the numbers in the middle.

It's in beta test right now, and if you join on their forum you can get access to it. It is beta so it has some quirks (like when you've just rotated it, the suggestions show too low like in my screenshot below), and I am not sure I like the default theme yet (it doesn't show secondary keys!) but it's worth a try. http://swiftkey.net/vip is where you can join to try it.

Here's what it looks like:

Install the APK as normal (uninstall the beta for Smartphone if you're already using it) and then follow the "from market" part of this guide to copy the APK into /system/app. Reboot, and it should show up in NookColor Tools, same procedure as any keyboard on the Nook Color using the B&N Rom. Any other ROM it should just work.

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Replace_the_Default_Keyboard

BTW just wanted to let people know and help the SwiftKey folks get more feedback, I get nothing from this. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] onclebob:
will try when back at home!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lyam23:
I've tried it and have found the keys to be too small for a 7" screen. I've really enjoyed using ThumbKeyboard and hope the SwiftKey keyboard improves to that level of usability as I love SK's prediction engine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lehons:
I'm running the stock 1.1 ROM, rooted, and am trying to get the Beta installed right now. I have the original running fine, but prefer the thumb-keyboard split layout.

I installed the Beta, but can't get it to show up in my Keyboard selection. Not sure it's going to run on Eclair.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lyam23:
It does work on Eclair. You moved the .apk from /data/apps to /system/apps? And set the permissions to match others there? And rebooted? Try those if you have not and check again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
They SEEM to be, but bang out a sentence and see what happens. It's damn good at deciphering nonsense. ;) Same as the Smartphone version, I type like ass on the screen yet most often it figures out the right words.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lehons:
I installed from /system/app and rebooted, but haven't changed the permissions.

I've been using SuperManager, which doesn't appear to let me edit permissions. I'll have to grab a different app later and try it, as they don't appear to match.

Thanks.

SwiftKey Tab beta seems cool

I've used it to send emails. Nothing special about it that I've seen so far. But it is nice to see a "tablet" getting some love.

edit: I've been using it since Monday. I don't like the interface ('neon') but the split (similar to Thumb Keyboard) is very nice. the keys are smallis buy not unusable. Overall, I like it and recommend giving it a try. Once new skins are made it'll be great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] oklahomatulsa:
Got IT

Installed this morning. Not too bad. Keys are too small. Don't think its going to replace my swype. I do love their predictive typing but not enought to stop me swyping. ;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
The keys are so small I can't type well enough for the prediction to work unless I type quite slowly.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Nburnes:
Looks like Thumb Keyboard. (I love thumb keyboard)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Odd, did you change the prediction settings? I type terribly without correction, but it does a really good job fixing it for me. You might try some of the other options, there's "rapidfire typing" which is useful for some folks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] onclebob:
Give it a try. But really miss an azerty layout for me..

waiting, but thumb keyboard is growing in my heart.. the only cons about thumb kb is the lack of multi language prediction, i have to disable it..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
There are multiple layouts in Swiftkey, just the list is impossible to see on the Nook Color with the white-on-white problem. Apps expect some dialogs to be dark, where on the B&N ROM they're white.

Yep, there's AZERTY there. The problem is picking it I think. In Settings->Layout, try picking the 5th option... QWERTY is first, AZERTY is 5th in the list on my phone. Hopefully the tablet beta is the same. Otherwise, you could experiment I guess.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] onclebob:
That's right for swiftkey beta for Phone, the swiftkey beta for tablet only have one option.

I'm running nookie froyo, no white-on-white problem here :/
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cvhovey:
1+ on that, since I have big hands. The stock keyboard with CM7 or the standard SwiftKey keyboard both beat the heck out of this "tablet" keyboard implementation. And I guess some find neon cool, but its hard on my eyes. Yes, I'm glad SwiftKey is trying, but .... I'll wait until functional wins out over 'Look at this cool keyboard, dude!" approach.

Yes. It has been since Nov. 2011. Before that it was 10GB per month. Once you go over you are sent a text and throttled to between 7kbps to 56kbps. T-mobile continues to argue that it's unlimited because you can still access the web. (Although, at those speeds it's pretty much unusable.

"Verizon Wireless will join AT&T in adopting data caps soon, probably in mid-summer, Verizon CFO Fran Shammo said at an investor's conference Tuesday.

The precise timing for the move to a tiered-pricing scheme has not been announced, however. AT&T put an end to unlimited data plans for new customers last year.

Verizon has been offering the iPhone 4 since Feb. 10 with a $30 unlimited plan, which applies to other smartphones it sells that run on the Verizon CDMA/EV-DO network.

Shammo said some of the details of the data caps and tiered pricing will come when Verizon launches the HTCThunderbolt on LTE soon. Thunderbolt will have a 4.3-in. screen and run Android, Verizon said in January."

[Networking] FLAC Vest:
I don't agree with the cap itself; I don't like how they call it unlimited but cap it at 5 gigs, but I can understand why they do this. Think about it; if an exponential number of people just jump on the network or switch over to the unlimited plan and just use gigs of data, where can they draw the line and tell you to stop?

It isn't like they "want" to cap it so much, but if they don't people are inevitably going to use Tmobile as their main internet connection, for the most part (browsing, downloading, everything except for pirating movies) IMO.
[Networking] ohshootrawr:
I was kinda irritated the first time I heard about this. At first, there was no problem, at 10 gigs. Unlimited or not, 10 gigs a month was a fair deal. The data cap dropped to 5 around the same time CM7 nightlies came out, and absolutely pissed me off. I had no actual notification of the change, so I ended up reaching the data cap at the BEGINNING of the month. Absolute malarkey I say. My data, being that I live on an island in the pacific, is already slow by ANY standards. Slower data speeds and a lowered data cap. It was not a good day to be a tmobile owner.

Limited "unlimited"

I ran into my 30 bucks worth last month, around the 17th. It want a great day, in fact I wasn't even using it at the time. I am running android on my hd2 and found the netflix app an awesome addition. Instead of listening to the radio, I steamed every episode of ancient aliens for about a week. Let me tell you, when you hit the wall, its over, you are lucky if your emails come through. Worse yet, there is nothing they can do, they say, not even the ceo has a button to start your data over again. What I did in the end was upgrade my plan, they credited me for the 10g plan $30, them I called back and switched my plan back to the original. I got my data restarted in the end, but a day of heartache when you use your phone for work as well.

I think they should have to call it what it is, limited, tiered, what have you, even if you never went over 10g it is still limited!
[Networking] I Am Marino:
The cap doesn't bother me, I just use wifi religiously.
[Networking] AntonJart:
Now they have changed it. 10 gb option is available
[Networking] tjhart85:
I used to use wifi all the time & rarely used more than 500MB per month (300MB was about normal). Since they started capping, I just turned off the wifi until I hit 4GB and use TMO data instead. Once I hit 4GB, I go back to wifi whenever I can to make sure I don't hit their limit.

If they're going to cap my unlimited plan, I'll use it as much as possible without causing an inconvenience for myself. Way to go TMO, you've now caused me to use around 10 times more data than I did previously!
[Networking] michaelstigers:
I agree with this post, and I user wifi whenever its available...however I still check my data usage constantly.

Theres a work around now that I found...some files you load into your phone, but haven't tried it.

My house has more wifi coverage than more corporate offices lol / I make wimax look like a bleep on the radar - and theres lots of programs on the market for mapping of open wifi,.the names just escape me.

Look at it this way...tmo will be taken over by the evil att monster and I'm not happy about that, I hate att, however we will then get free access to their wifi all over...so maybe that'll ease your minds...

My personal thoughts however are they should be sued for misrepresenting their product but they all do it with the exception of sprint and criket...which runs on sprint lol _ unlimited means unlimited, not unlimited broadband for X amount of data then kick you down to dial up/old school isdn speeds.

Here in germany capped data plans are quite usual (for mobile internet).

My plan contains only 500 MB for 20 Euro (?close to 25USD?). But using WiFi at home, the university and my friends places doesn't cause any problems for me.

During the last month I consumed about 200 MB while travelling/on the go and about 6 GB over WiFi. With a quite capable SGS2 ;-)

But I don't watch many movies on my phone, and if I do, I put them on the internal storage (after... uhm... ripping them from DVD ;))

Though I can understand the companies limiting the plans: If most users use mobile internet even if WiFi is available it causes a lot of traffic over a very expensive infrastructure, so they try to limit the use of their wireless links.

And just causing as much traffic as possible "because you paid for it" doesn't make it any better.

The general idea behind such an "unlimited" plan is fair use, and because some people tend to overstress that fair use they have to put the limit in place.

Obviously, if your phone is your only internet access than my argument doesn't hold, but than you have some money to spare for a bigger plan :P

Apologies - I know this has been asked before but my problem is a bit different:

... a couple of days ago I had a crash and had to reinstall ROM. Everything was fine, but upon trying to restore Angry Birds (yes, again...) I can't for the life of it make it work. Supposedly the AB data folder is in /sdcard/data/data. However, after installing AB, playing one level and checking, there's nothing there!!! If I restore the data with QtADB the game exits before it loads...

Any ideas? Where on earth should I place my data before my gf kills me?

Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] Cholo981:
The savegame file is "highscores.lua", it should be placed in "/data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files".

You can't explore the "/data/data" folder with a common file manager. You need Root manager or something like that (or ADB's shell).

Do not forget to set the file's permission for read/write.
[Android Apps and Games] krakout:
Apologies - forgot to say that I have a fully rooted phone and am using ES explorer. But, for some reason, as I said, /data/data is totally empty, and that's why I'm at a loss... :( And when I copy my previous AN backup folder into /data/data (including, of course, highscores.lua) the game crashes before it loads.

If I empty the folder again it runs fine, so it must be drawing data from some other folder??

ES File Explorer can't browse directories that require root afaik. You'll need one that can such as Root Explorer.

I can navigate everywhere on both the mob's internal memory and the SDcard, so I guess it does have root support :)

On the other hand, /data/data doesn't seem to need root anyhow, but I do have access. The problem persists - AB *must* be pulling data from someplace else :(

[Android Apps and Games] krakout:
If a file explored doesn't have read access to a folder it can't even enter the folder, no?. Also, other folders under /data are populated. Finally, as I've mentioned I *can copy* an older backup (either through QtADB or manually, with ESExplorer) but then the game crashes.
