Wow - I've been amazed how peaceful these forums were. Somebody explains the situation, states it wont cause a problem and gets called a "jackass" - that's productive.

As it was pointed out, flashing a radio can go wrong and brick your phone, so why would you do it over and over? Do you play russian rullette?

I find it funny that those who "heard" flashing the same radio 2 times will brick your phone INSIST that you have to PROVE it is wrong - though it's fairly obvious their phones are still working so they clearly have no personal evidence!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Hold up there, Pete... no need to be so acerbic about it. The only radio that would cause a brick if flashed over itself was the 2.05 .diff patch that was released by unrevoked. That one could brick their phone by flashing a radio image over itself is merely a persistent myth that, like most urban legends, refuses to die. One of the frustrating aspects is when it's repeated by a well respected member of the community. That being said, the posts from Adrynalyne clarifying this were relatively easy to overlook given the sheer volume of posts around that time regarding the Froyo update.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
My GF and I are very annoyed at this problem. When you tilt the phone on it's side, lik eholding it with your shoulder the phone will turn on. It just so happens that your phone's mute button will be on your cheek and we mute each other.

Is there anyway to stop this? Thank you guys in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Are u sure u are not "uncovering" the light proximity sensor when u tilt it. Its very sensitive, and I have noticed it get turned on when the phone gets an inch or more away from ear exposing the light sensor to any form of light.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
While on the phone with my girlfriend at night this happens a lot. Because it is so dark, any movement I do will cause the screen to turn on and I have to hit the button to turn it off.

Just try vto keep it glued to your face :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
Yeah I'm sure. The feature is suppose to be for when you set the phone on your desktop the screen will turn on so you can hit speaker or end the call.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Umm simple work around, get something opaque and stick it over the light sensor with something that won't leave a residue so you can take it off when your call is over? :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
obviously some people fail to understand how this works. there is a light sensor for screen brightness and a proximity sensor. it is the proximity sensor that detects your face and turns off the screen. the light sensor is not involved in this process. what is happening is that the i9000 roms have default android 2.2 settings that force the proximity sensor to be ignored in certain orientations, i dont know about the new att updates but the 2.1 roms had the overrided from samsung. i tried to fix it in tasker but tasker lacks the option to power off the screen, it can go to lock screen instead which may be acceptable for some. there may be a different way to do this in tasker but i need to experiment more.

there is no external workaround for this as it is not the proximity sensor being uncovered that causes most problems but the phones orientation. any workaround or fix must be done with software or a change in a file somewhere.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
I am sorry, and have been humbled •_•
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
This is correct. In simple terms the orientation sensor takes presidence over the proximity sensor. So if you turn the phone on its back while on the phone, the screen will turn on.

There are no fixes for it that I'm aware of.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
How abt keeping auto-rotation off all the time, and turning it on only when needed, as a work around?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
It's not linked to auto-rotation unfortunately, Its just something that we have to live with.

I tried to compile this multiple times but there was no way to include the libs in the binary (like the config option for busybox). Now its here and I'm pumped.

Some of you who use linux might know what this is. The instructions say to place it on the data partition in androidterm's /data/data folder (settings/cache of installed apks are here). I went ahead and placed it in /system/xbin...

What can this do? Its like wget but you can use a cookies file to dl from places like hotfile.. resumable downloads.. and best of all.. multipart downloads.. it also handles torrents, but I have no plans to use that function.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Blades:
I have no idea why froyo appears in the zip file.. but since it has nothing to do with android (java) and more to do with the underlying linux system its safe to say that this works with all versions of android that have term emu.

I also compiled unrar binary for arm and it works with no problems.. this aria2c build just so happened to say froyo in it.

Btw. I too am on CM7.

And now...p7zip for android.

http://home.comcast.net/~ibladesi/p7zip.tar.bz2

This is a bzip2 tar file.. uncompress in the system directory and it will extract files where they need to go.. otherwise you'll end up with two directories.. xbin and lib..

So. Mount system as rw

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system/ -o remount

cd /system/

cat /path/to/file/on/sdcard/p7zip.tar.bz2 > p7zip.tar.bz2

#the above is used versus 'cp' to avoid retaining sdcard privs

tar xjvf p7zip.tar.bz2

Try it out! It extracts and compresses many file types.. more flexibility than the default busybox unzip too. Has a benchmarking mode so you can see just how terrible your phone is against your computer.. and.. Still can't get the rar module to load.. but I think its there.. rar as in compress!

I saw this as well (although I'll probably stick with adryn's kernel for now). The future is certainly looking bright for the tbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Zshazz:
It's nice. It doesn't have the interactive/smartass governors so I'm definitely sticking with Adrynalyne's kernel. The conservative kernel is just too slow to ramp up (probably due to the huge number of slots) and I'd be worried that ondemand would keep it running at full speed too much and drain my battery.

If your so worried about battery. Use Setcpu profiles with overcook kernal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] QuentinX5:
So, this question is more Rhodium specific, as I doubt anyone on the other forums could answer it. But you remember back in Windows Mobile how when you would use the messaging app or whatever, and when you pressed enter, it would start a new paragraph? Is there such a way to do this on here? Because I have been trying to figure it out, and I still have gotten nowhere with it. I have a good feeling the enter key is not mapped to do that though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] NightvisionOo:
I use chompSMS for messaging and there u can set the Enterkey to Send mode or to create a new line... i hope u mean that
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I actually hated that feature in WinMo, why would I want a new line in a text message!?! Enter = send, as it should.

Shift-enter gives me a new line in Google Voice, should work elsewhere enter = send.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] QuentinX5:
That would indeed be exactly what I mean. *SIGH* You guys are just bound and determined to turn me away from the stock Messaging app, aren't you? :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:

Nope, shift-enter did not work. Running FRX06, 3/17 (I think?) kernel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Perhaps you're not understanding, and I'm not explaining it clearly obviously.

Shift+Enter - hold the shift key and press enter while holding shift.

I testing without holding it, and it didn't work lol :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] QuentinX5:
*COUGH*

You could of just stated Long Press Shift + Enter XD

You could have also tried it the other way before posting it didn't work... :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] QuentinX5:

I'm not sure what your referring to... What other way? Ah well, question has been answered, with much logical reference and a deep elongated thought process from both sides XD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
You obviously tried hitting shift, then hitting enter. Then instead of trying to hold shift and hit enter, you just post that it doesn't work...

Glad you finally got the message... :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] QuentinX5:
Holding shift didn't work at first. I also tried using the fn key (which came to no results). I only posted because maybe there was something I was doing wrong. I hadn't ever figured it out, so I thought it never existed.

Hi, last night I flashed new MIUI XJ D2EXT X-PART 1.3.25 - 2.3 GS 3P x1 from my last MIUI XJ D2EXT X-PART 1.3.18 - 2.2 GS 3P Final Signed. Unfortunately, I didn't do nandroid backup in recovery from my last setting. After I wiped all and flash MIUI XJ D2EXT X-PART 1.3.25 - 2.3 GS 3P x1, I got stuck in boot logo. After I repeat several times and still stuck, I flash the latest GingerVillain. Successfully boot but in setting my SDcard listed as not mounted. After repartition my SDcard and install GingerVillain again, my SDcard was mounted. But after that every time I tried to flash MIUI XJ ROM even 1.3.25 GB or 1.3.18 froyo it came with stuck boot logo.

Is there isue problems with S-ON bacause my desire was still S-ON?

Is it the most recent version of Wireless Tether, from the market? A month ago or so, wireless tether threw errors at me on Gingerbread Roms. It said that it started, but with errors, and I could never connect. Last week, I tried out all the new Gingerbread Roms, and the latest version of Wireless Tether from the Market worked fine for me. I wasn't expecting it to work, because it didn't last time I was on a Gingerbread rom, but last week it worked fine for me on SavagedZen, Salvage Mod, Evervolv, and King's Gingerbread rom. I must say though, I didn't try it on CM last week, just the others. So, just making sure you have the latest one, because it didn't work on any gingerbread rom a month ago, but did for me recently. Other than that, I'm not sure. When it didn't work for me a month ago, I deduced that it was because the app wasn't yet compatible with Gingerbread, but that was just speculation. I figured it worked now, because they updated it. But maybe i just got lucky, who knows?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazda:
Wireless tethering is built into CM7 so you don't need any extra apps or whatever. I would either do one of two things if I was you.

1. Boot into recovery, make a backup of your current rom and flash a brand new CM7

2. Reboot your phone, switch between wifi/3g and then try it again

If that doesn't help then do this......make a backup of your current CM7 rom and flash a sense rom and see if wireless tethering works on that rom because if it doesn't....it might be your phone.

Hope this works for you, if not then I would take BigJIMBO's advice and head over to the CM forums......GOOD LUCK!!
