[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odrecords:
After fiddling with these settings for a few days and discovering what they mean, I have come up with a set of values that suit me best.

In very low light conditions I prefer my screen to be as dim as possible, but fully bright when outside or even near a window or also in the car.

And everything in between is set pretty well IMO

The only thing that throws it off is the fact that CM is a little buggy in this area, and I find that it lags a little or takes a screen reset (which just consists of turning it off and back on via the power button) to get a correct ambient light to value reading).

LOL would be a good test, my new phone, from craigslist, is going to black screen everytime i make a call, the only way to fix is it to put a flash light up to the senor or plug it into the wall or USB.

yay craigslist as the best excuse EVER to not give support to someone, NEW phone and tmobile nore HTC will offer any help. They all say they cant support me cause i didn't buy it from tmobile.

My phone only seems to make it up to 640. This was with my phone right next to a bright CFL bulb. Not sure if my screen protector is limiting the range of the sensor.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athakur999:
I noticed in CM7.0.2 that I am now able to get the full range of values from 20-10240. Before my light sensor would only show from 20-640. So, whatever bug was causing this looks to have been squashed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faux123:
There was a bug introduced by cm7's kernel a while back which I also used (I thought cm7 team knew better, oh well). It has been fixed by Zinx for cm7 and I have the same fix in my kernels also.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
I know that this has been asked before buy my question is more specific than, where do I get one.

I won an atrix and it arrived today, locked to AT&T (half expected) so I was wondering, is there anyone on Vodafone AU or anyone in Australia for that matter who has unlocked their Atrix and hasn't experienced wifi issues? if so, where did they purchase their unlock codes.

Thank you in advance

[Defy General] corie:
Hi. Could anyone tell me, in this pic, where is the radio atenna? Is it the sharp tower on the top of the board, above the camera? If so, could that mean that users are more prone to radiation?

Thanks.
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
Sure, just buy some anti-radiation patch to cover it up.

May as well put it in a copper-made safe.

Or just take some iodine tablets before you use the phone. (don't mind that cell phones don't make ionzing radiation)

Seriously, there's something called SAR rating, it's as good as it gets for laymen like us. Note that the value is different for US/UK... versions.
[Defy General] diggedy:
If a mobile was giving off radiation then I dont think it matters where the antenna is, its next to your head either way. Anyone worried about stuff like that should keep it at arms length and use handsfree or not buy one
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Take more salt :p
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
IANAP(hysicist), but according to what I've researched after the Japan earthquake, the radiation emitted by cellphones (non-ionizing) is quite different from that of materials for and generated by nuclear fission (ionizing).

Furthermore, taking salts (thus iodine) only helps you from absorbing radioactive iodine (iodine-131) into your body and kill your thyroid. It can not help you stop absorbing radiation.

:D
[General Questions and Answers] ironman120693:
Sorry if this has been discussed but apparently the forum search isn't working and these suggested threads aren't exactly what i'm looking for, although i did see one that talks about Fresh 0.2 and boot loop being caused by it.

So anyway, I have this under control, i would just like some answers. Here are my questions as simple as i can ask them:

I would like to get the notification bar included in the calkulin 2 v1.8 rom, it is very nice looking, does anyone know where i can get it without having to flash the rom on my phone?

What causes boot loops(at least only after flashing a rom or restoring files)?

What wipes should I be doing?

Is there something bad about using unrevoked to root your evo?

Is there any similar probs with MyBackup Root?

Here is some information you might find useful:

I rooted with unrevoked 3.2.1 which unlcoks NAND for EVO with froyo(which i have) so yes my hboot screen says S-OFF

I also switched from clockwork to amon ra 2.3 due to some issues.

I have flashed azrael on and it worked with no probs, even with only wiping CACHE, DATA, and DELVIK CACHE.

I did the same wipe for calkulin the first time.

Calkulin starts, i can use the phone. Then I restore apps and data with MyBackup ROot, and it says to reboot.

Once I reboot, the loop begins until i pull the battery(i don't know for sure, but I've never let it go beyond 10 minutes)

So I have restored my nandroid backup and everything is peachy.

Now i tried wiping ALL USER DATA/Factory reset plus the 3 mentioned above(and btw, i don't have an SD ext partition the wipe always says skip)

After flashing calkulin for the second time, i restore files again, reboot, and get the same problem.

I managed to find a thread where this was occurring with CM7(which i have not looked at so i don't know anything about it). Just give some suggestions and veterans and devs please figure this out! this is a big inconvenience!

It's probably worth mentioning that mybackup root worked with azrael(i think i heard that some apps aren't supported in every rom).

Again, I don't get this problem with the original rom or azrael. I was thinking of using the calkulin format all wipe, but i read that it's the same as doing the 4 i did(plus the sd ext, but i don't have that partition so it would be skipped anyway). Please someone figure this out thank you!

ps. i strongly think its mybackup root, but then again, i haven't tried rebooting without restoring anything and i haven't tried titanium backup either.
[Blade General] tutysara:
I have this problem for the past two days. It was working fine for a week and yesterday I tried installing clockwork, I installed androot and rooted my phone, installed super user and Rom manager.

While restarting my Rom in recovery it got struck and I had to remove the battery to reset it.

After that I booted into stock orange rom and the sim was not recognized.

I am not sure whether this is a hardware problem or the problem with software.

I tried these things before posting here

1. Tried various custom roms ( CM7, Swedish Spring Rom) to check if the problem is with software. While installing SS2 I tried replacing the sim and this time I did it a bit different than I usually do, instead of putting the sim and then the battery I did the reverse and when I booted into SS2 I got the sim detected. I had left that in my table the whole night and what I saw in the morning is that the phone again displaying the same old "No Sim Card" message.

2. Had put a paper flap above the sim while inserting the sim - Not worked

3. With a sewing needle I had raised all the 6 sim contacts in the phone and then inserted the sim - Not worked

4. Pushed the sim towards the battery side a bit - Not worked

Guys please help me in resolving this.

Whether this is a hardware or software problem and how can I debug these kind of issues.

Please help.

Did you try inserting another orange sim? you should send it back to orange :/

Have you tried the Sim in another phone? I had this problem and the contacts on the sim were worn.
[HD2 General] takertx:
Hi everybody,

I have been grappling with this damned issue with OneNote 2007 on my HD2 forever. I have extensively searched the net and also the XDA for a work around but to no avail and so I decided to come out with it. It’d be nice if some of the top dogs here at the XDA took a minute or two out of their busy schedules to fix us up with a way to force OneNote to SD card. I mean come on people, don’t you leave us at the mercy of windows unpredictable array of hangs, crashes and total system annihilations, give us a way out. :D

I have personally wormed around the registry and found a way for one note to save its bulky attachments, wave voice files and pics to the SD card but that’s half the story. HD2 being a windows phone is prone to crashes and halts and since I am using the OneNote as an invaluable tool for my office duties and personal note taking on the go, I don’t plan to be left high and dry in case of OS crashes, which happened a few times and did indeed left me with no way to access my invaluable OneNote files. :mad:

I would appreciate any help from the masters of the XDA

Thanks in advance

P.S

I have also figured out the location on the main memory where one note actually saves its files to and already set up regular and scheduled back ups to my SD from the folder, but since my note taking happens at very short intervals and high quantities, my back up scheme is hardly adequate.
[HD2 General] bates_1974:
I'd hazard a guess and say you're half way there in the registry if you can change paths of saving other files, maybe not under the same sub index but elsewhere there'd be something, sorry to sound so vague but haven't used Windows since about July time!
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I don't think save location is in registry key as such, it is within application itself.

a workaround may be possible with mortscript for moving them from device to storage card on a daily basis scheduled automagically.

Not a perfect option but better than no option. Also may be worth looking into a better ROM build upgrade to improve reliability. My current 23699 build is very reliable, not soft reset in over 3 months & never hard reset yet !

Will be doing some registry fiddling this evening so will browse around & post again should I find anything relevent.
[HD2 General] takertx:
Thanks for the reply

I am indeed and believe you me when I say I did look a lot around the registry trying to find a way for it and all that I got in return was bricking my phone 4 times in a row :p, when you play with fire eh!! :D

It might still be buried deep down there but with my limited knowledge of windows mobile registry I'm afraid someone else has to pick up where I left off :(
[HD2 General] takertx:
I second that opinion but quite much like much else in HD2 it should have been hidden by the HTC for some wicked reason and the key to make it appear again has to reside under registry

I have, as I mentioned previously, already set up a backing up scheme via sprite which backs up my files twice a day. But I am still not satisfied due to the nature of my note keeping and my job. Maybe I am over reacting but I just can't feel safe until I figure this out

I forgot to mention but I have the unlocked HD2 and already upgraded my ROM to the most updated version on the HTC site as part of my attempts to get around this bug. My system has been stable for the past four months with only one serious bricking episode, other than the times I did it myself trying to fix the damn thing of course :cool:
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Hi.

I've seen lots of advice in several different ways about charging new tech when you get it.

So I thought I'd try a poll to see what the general consensus is.

1) Charge until light is green before turning it on the first time?

2) Turn on without precharge, but then run completely flat before charging

3) It's a Li-ion battery and it makes no difference

Thanks
[Xoom General] graffixnyc:
Many people will tell you it doesnt matter but I know from experience that it does in fact make a difference. When I got my phone (mt4g) I starte using it right away without charging it, everything seemed fine I had an issue with the screen so I exchanged it and got a new one. This one I charged first for a few hours before even turning it on and it did make a difference. my battery seemed to be holding a charge for longer. When I got another battery I read they recommend charging it fully off for at least 8 hours then when you do power it on let it run down all the way. Do that for the first 5 charges and it will help your battery health in the long run.

Another example is my friend got two of the same phone one for him and one for his gf. He started using his as soon as he got out of the store, hers he charged for her because he didnt see her that night. He said the phones are pretty much set up identically, same software, same services running etc.. and he said her battery lasts noticeably longer than his
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Thanks for the input. Ya, I have heard a lot of stories like yours.

And even if it doesn't always make a difference, it's only 8 hours, so it should be worth it just to make sure, but when you've been waiting since January for an android tablet and you finally get one in April, 8 hours is forever. ha ha

Thanks
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Oh, I suppose another related question is how much is fully charged? Apparently modern devices have a current regulator or something in them that stops it from charging past 95% or something? Not sure on specifics, but from what I've read. You can't charge it passed when the green light comes on anyway?

Anyone know more on this?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Many new batteries will charge to 90% or 95%, then display the light as "fully charged". They will continue to to charge to 100%, drain back down to 90%, and back and forth in order to not stick at full 100% (aka charging over night).

That being said I've heard a lot of talk about conditioning smartphone batteries etc. and for the most part I haven't seen a lot of evidence to prove that it is necessary. Lithium Ion batteries really don't need conditioning or anything as much as you'd think... that's really an old NiCad thing to do.
[Xoom General] futuregerald:
I did not charge mine when i first got it, the battery was already at 90% about and i simply used it for a day and a half and now i'm charging it for the first time. i regularly get new electronics devices and i never have better problems personally. battery tech has come up a ways in the last few years.
[Xoom General] k0smo86:
It's well known by now the Li-ion batteries do better with short, more frequent charges. It is not a good idea to run it down until dead. These batteries also do not have a "memory."

Placebo and old habits keep this myth around.

4. Which ROM is best for AT&T users? I am running the recommended 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M radio but I see "3G" frequently (UMTS) and not always H+.

If not, that fixes this problem.

If you do that before installing this, that problem doesn't happen.

I installed Gingerbread with a fresh wipe. Don't know what's up with the Sync icon, but I did install the Music Honeycomb apk and my phone's been syncing Music all night long-- continuing even today.

[Droid X General] MonoDraken:
It says that the google gmail has a little sync icon next it it but when i unchecked it then looked it still had a sync icon in notification bar?.. How do you get to wipe cache/data?
[Droid X General] pcDroidski:
Try booting into recovery:

1. Turn your phone off.

2. Hold down “Home” and press the “Power” button there at the top. Hold them until the Motorola logo appears

3. Release the “Power” button, but continue to hold the “Home” button until you see an exclamation mark (!)

4. Release the “Home” button and press the “Search” key once (and only once!)

From there select "wipe data" and then "wipe cache". This essentially is a factory reset. Reboot your phone and see if that helps. **YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE**

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfro9191:
I just rooted my first android, obviously the TBolt.

I am very new to this. I may have touched 'Command' maybe once before this. I rooted manually with the help of everyone on this site and others. Everyone has been very helpful with this whole process, but now I'm stuck.

I want to flash a rom and kernel from Das BAMF 1.1

I download the rom and kernel, put the rom on my sd root and open with Rom Manager but it does not seem to take.

So i tried to open the kernel but putting that on the sd and hboot, right? The bootloader seems to read it but does not do anything with it. I'm assuming I'm suppose to be seeing what was going on when i rooted my phone.

If you need any other info, i'll be more than happy to provide that for you.

I would have posted in the development part of the forum but this is my first post on this site.

Thanks in advance. Would really appreciate the help. What's the point of root if i can't put a custom rom onto my TBolt?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seandalton0:
I just loaded the ROM and went about it the same way you're trying.

Make sure you have PG05IMG.zip on the root of your SD (with that exact name). When you load into hboot, it *should* automatically detect it and start running through the process, you shouldn't have to hit anything. After it checks some files you should see something along the lines of "Do you want to start update? <vol up> yes <vol down> no".

If it hangs at any point you might want to try downloading it again. After you get the kernel loaded you can flash the rom file via RomManager from your SD Card.

Also, maybe throw a picture up of what you're seeing if the above doesn't seem to help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfro9191:
Thank for the response!

Actually, after being so fed up with trying to get the zip to load with hboot, i decided to take another dive the manual way and fastboot the boot.img kernel through adb. It worked great! I checked the kernel after rebooting and it said that match 1st date that was in the file.

So, now I need to find a way to get the rim zip file on the phone. I downloaded the 1.2 version and I still get the same thing as before. I open clockwork recovery and install from sd and it says installation aborted.

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
What do you mean by that? How are you selecting install from sd but you don't have the file on the SD?
