I would have posted this on the Utlimate Droid Rom thread but I haven't enough posts yet to be allowed.

Camcorder bug beware!

On Camcorder options I played with the select Back/Front option. Bad news. If you change it the app crashes with a Force Stop option and you have lost (permanently) the use of camcorder. Reboot, Recovery all make no difference. I think I even reflashed without wiping the SD card to find it still would not work. As soon as you go from camera to camcorder it crashes. Eventually I repartitioned SD and reflashed to get back to working state.

I don't know how much this applies to other ROMs but I don't suggest you try it unless you want to reflash to original settings!

Has anyone had the same misfortune or know of a way out of the issue without reflashing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Just tested in typhoon 3.0.4 cm7, switching camera turns everything upside down and left right switch, switching camcorder forces close but opens again normally.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
What if you go into settings/applications/ choose the 'all' tab, go to camera, and clear data ? It should revert all camera settings to stock, right?

If not, you could go to HD2 Android Themes and Apps, and download and install the widescreen/regular camera from its thread. Then you should have camcorder action again :cool:

Hey yall, I have been trying to fix this problem for months to no avail.

No matter what, no matter what ROM I use I CANNOT tether, this is with the built in thethering app, Barnacle, and Wireless Tether App. I have tried CM6 Cm7, and the new experimental gingerbread sense rom. Anyone know what is up?

I feel like it may be from my computer because I also can't use USB tether.

The only ROM I can use without issues is the Froyo Sense rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dddnnnggg:
I have a SE X10, but i am going to buy a Captivate, so i deceided to ask you a few questions, so i could see if this is the phone for me.

1. An year ago i had a I7500, which had a quite strange problem, the camera button stayed in the press state and this was a problem for the overall work of the phone, do you experience such problems with the buttons of the Captivate or any other build quality issue|?

2. Is the equipped with scratch resistant glass (Gorilla Glass)?

3. Do you think that an almost new SE X10 + 100 EUR (140 USD) is a good deal for a new Captivate?

4. I am from Bulgaria, and i was wandering which is the last official version of Android available for international update, is there goig to be such for Gingerbread?

5. I have a slight hearing problem, do you think that Captivate's in call volume is loud enough?

6. Which are the most common problems which you experince with Captivate?

Thank you in advnace.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
no camera button problem, every phone (not just samsung) has many complaints

gorilla glass yes.

no idea

android 2.2, no promises for official gingerbread

call volume kinda sucks.

many threads on "problems" most common is gps. bad tracking while moving, long time to get lock
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis01:
+1 except for the fact that the call volume sucks. Many of the dev roms have lower call volume but the stock roms seem to be a lot better. When/if they ever crack the audience chip drivers, the dev roms will be on par with the stock roms. I know Andromeda has greatly increased their in call volume by maxing out the tweaks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
no

yes

maybe, is the captivate new? cause it is $500-$600 when not on contract, but maybe you can find a cheap used one on ebay for less

no call volume problems stock, problems come from using wrong modem.bin files when using roms ported from other galaxy s phones. there are several new versions that have great call quality.

as for problems, well the gps can be a problem, many are reporting the newer ones are better but it might just be random, mine works great though. also amoled screens are not bright enough to view in direct sunlight, though the superamoled is better than past amoleds and as good as many lcd screens it wont be as good as the super bright retina display on the iphone. the samoled screen has other advantages, really that's about it. i havent had any physical malfunctions.

Why not let us know where you already downloaded it from so we don't direct you to the same place.

Is this the one you downloaded?

Heres another... http://zantekk.de/~desire_hd/offici...60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe

Google is your friend. If you need more links.. just google RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M and you'll find plenty of links.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Oh, and what errors are you getting? Are you getting an error while you are in the middle of flashing, or when trying to launch the RUU?
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
kirk123, I downloaded it from the filefactory.com twice and the file was corrupt. It would run through till about the 70% point then flash an error on the screen "Error 110 File is open or corrupt. Download the Program and run it again", which I did but got the same error. The first time I downloaded on My Windows 7 64 bit machine with the anti virus and firewall turned off. The second time, I downloaded it on my old XP machine which doesn't have a firewall or anti virus on it. I noticed one thing about the download, the File size is listed as 268 Meg on the factory site but it's 271 Meg on the computer.

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Did you try that second link?
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Just finished and I was watching the down load this time and Windows 7 64 Bit posted a warning on the download guide "This File is not commonly downloaded and may damage your computer". I am going to download it on the old XP machine and see if I get a warning on it. On it at least I will know it's not something to do with anti virus or a firewall because it doesn't have either.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Hey guys, little issue that I can't figure out.

If I flash a rom with a kernel included of course I do not have any issues.

As soon as I try changing the kernel this is where I have issues.

The issue is that when I turn the screen off and the phone sleeps, after about 5 minutes it will not wake back up. I have to do a battery pull and eventually reflash the rom due to improper shut down/corrupt file system.

I have even tried flashing the rom and the kernel in the same recovery session to no avail.

I wipe cache and dalvik any time I flash something.

Running SRF 1.1.0 and have tried numerous kernels including twilight and genocide.

Did this also on SRF 1.0.2
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Does your screen flash during the kernel flash process? It should show blue letters.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Yes it flashes and shows the random misplaced words. The kernels flash just fine but they all give me the screen of death after sleeping for 5 minutes or so.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Are you doing any over/underclocking using SetCPU or Overclock widget?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
No, it will do it without changing anything. I do not have to even have setcpu or anything installed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Then I think it might simply be that you have one of the poorer quality processors that don't handle undervolting well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfghjkl:
or its set to 100 as low and some phones dont wake from that...get setcpu and change it to 200 - whatever...or /system/etc/init.d and edit the 24-cpufreq file..

scroll down and it should say

echo "conservative" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governer

Here you can change the governer..from conservative to on-demand wtvr..

and here:

#echo "100000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

change the "100000" to "200000" and your phone should have no problem waking.. you can also overclock (if the kernel has the options) by changing the lines above:

#echo "1000000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

change "1000000" to "1200000" or the freq you want and kernel can achieve..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
I have tried installing setcpu and setting minimum to 200mhz, tried conservative and ondemand with same results.

I have 1 time successfully ran vision kernel. Even at 1.4ghz it ran fine for 3 days.

Isn't the default with SRF already underclocked? It runs fine on the default kernel.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billfold:
I was having the same issues as you as well. I ODIN'd back to EB13, rooted using CWM 2.5.5, stayed on RFS, and I haven't experienced that issue yet. I am currently running the Viper 5.0 ROM. Performance isn't where I would like it, but it's running fine. I wonder if it is an EXT4 issue on some phones.

Hi people!

In case you haven't noticed, during a native 3G video call (no IP stuff like oovoo, fring and such - i guess only interesting for European users) we have the option to take a picture of the remote party!

Very interesting if you ask me, but then can't we record the remote party side? I mean instead of a still shot, it would be nice if we could actually record some video of the remote party.

In fact, a cheap LG (not smarthpone - cannot remember which model) does indeed support this functionality.

Well, as you can see in the title i'm wondering if I really need to update my radio (atm 26.03.02.26) to 26.04.02.17

The question is comming from the following comment:

Battery drain issue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957336

Note: I post the question her because I cannot post in the dev section. Too little posts and I'm not gonna post nonsense in other topics
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chogoria:
battery drain isn't just dependant on which ROM you're running. Your operating network and band will also have an impact. Quite often what works for one user won't work as well for another. Upgrade to CM7 stable and see how you get on with battery life before you decide wether or not you want to install a new radio

Would be nice if someone can provide a step by step description.

As far as I have understand it is:

1. Apply the ext3 patch from paul to convert the internal memory back to ext3

2. flash original nvflash from the sticky

3. flash back your nandroid backup (which you hopefully created) or download it from the sticky too
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
That's exactly, what you have to do, all steps are outlined in the topics of each step, so what is the question? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
the nvflash step should be enough; it wipes everything; overwrites everything; kills everything; bringing the whole phone back to stock to send back / refund / resell ;)

[General Topics] spjetrovic:
Verizon and other carriers are working with Google to ban rooting phones. Data will get throttled and possibility of the phone getting banned from network coverage. :mad:

1. The way that they were able to track rooted users is based on pushing updates to phones, and then tracking which meid's did not take the update.

2. More than one major carrier besides Verizon has implemented this program and that all carriers involved had begun tracking rooted phones. All carriers involved were more than pleased with the accuracy of the program.

3. In new builds the tracking would be built into the firmware and that if a person removed the tracking from the firmware then the phone would not be verified on the network (i.e. your phone could not make phone calls or access data).

4. Google is working with carriers and manufacturers to secure phones, and although Google is not working to end hacking, it is working to secure the kernel so that no future applications can maliciously use exploits to steal end-user information. But in order to gain this level of security this may mean limited chances to root the device. (This item I've been told but not yet able to verify through multiple sources – so take it for what you want)

5. Verizon has successfully used its new programs to throttle data on test devices in accordance with the guidelines of the program.

6. The push is to lock down the devices as tight as can be, but also offer un-lockable devices (Think Nexus S).
[General Topics] runeazn:
NOOOOOO,

that sux and i wanted to buy a andriod soon because of the rooting.
[General Topics] tfn:
I wouldn't see it as a threat the reason being :

Majority of people root they phones just to get the better version of the android software which they would have not got otherwise due to the companies not releasing the updated software so obviously the companies wont bother to send the so called update to this old phones anyway.

Secondly Google seems to trying to close the gap on fragmentation in the android as most phones were updated to the Eclair version. so I believe most of the phones of 2010 will eventually get the Gingerbread release depending on the carrier

and last of all there will always be great softwares released and some one out there will come with a hack or whatever :D
[General Topics] cg 112358:
i completely agree with your first point considering I am one of those ppl! also I rooted my EVO to get better battery life....thats another reason to rooting.

i do see the carriers point of view tho.....they dont want people using the tethering workaround they gain from rooting since that is money that they are missing out on.

i should mention, tho, i am against the carriers doing this!! im just saying that i see where they are coming from

I know this is my first post, but this thread caught my eye.

the reason they don't want us rooting our phones is because if we do we can use out old phone longer and don't have to pay out he wazoo for a brand new phone. I have a Samsung Moment the last O/S that I could get was Android 2.1 Update 1 which basically rendered the Spring gps useless, and made calls and texts come in when ever they wanted, forcing me to think about a new phone, So i joined the SDX forums and rooted it installed 2.2 with the EB28 rom and so far every thing works as good as a Samsung epic just not 4 g,. which doesn't bother me since I don't video chat.

As far as I am concerned YOU paid for the, phone YOU pay the phone bill its YOURS, you should be able to do whatever you want to with it.
[General Topics] c0l3:
that realy sucks. I dont like that
[General Topics] DustinBooyah:
I wouldn't sweat this too much.

I understand the tethering issue, and I also understand that the base is, and always will be, money. That's the whole point of any business.

Having said that, this community in itself is a market and there are people watching what we are doing and where we are going, because there's cash to be made. If we run into locked bootloaders, dead phones, crappy updates and new phones riddled with bloatware, you better believe that someone else will be ready to snatch all of us up and give us exactly what we want, if not close.

If I owned a company large enough to deliver wireless service, I'd be sitting silently with a squad of high-end 250 dollar unlocked smartphones ready for some good ol "we have your back" marketing. ...granted my wireless was on point and I got good reception.

I don't think us getting into our phones and tinkering with it's innards is ever gonna stop. It might change, yeah, but it won't stop.

So please explain me how that would work in the court room :

- defendent : I paid for a data plan, and now I am accused of using it

- provider : he has installed an upgraded OS on his phone, your honor !

That would be the same as switching phones (for example if I change my Hero for an unlocked Nexus S, I would be using the same OS as in my hacked Hero), while still having the contract.

I can not see how they can enforce such a thing.
[General Topics] waz000000:
I always buy SIM free phones, so they cant really get me with that as I dont ever get carrier updates.
[General Topics] Step666:
Try again...

Defendant: I paid for a data plan that expressly stated that tethering is not included so I fiddled with my phone so that I could do that without paying the appropriate charges.

Network: as you can see, a clear breach of contract.

Not that it would ever reach a courtroom anyway.

That's got nothing to do with it though - I have an unlocked. unbranded Motorola Defy but the bootloader is still encrypted.

Some manufacturers can and do lock down handsets that aren't tied to any one network. Motorola do it, HTC seem to be moving in that direction - only SE are taking clear steps in the opposite direction.
[General Topics] dani26286:
Let's have a go at it one more time:

Defendant :

"Your honor, android is all about innovation, and carriers are ganging up with manufacturares cuz they want more, and more, and more, but are to lazy or incapable, or lacking inspiration. I do root, but tethering might as well not even be there, as it is part of many official out of the box releases. If i root, i do it cuz some manufacturers and some carriers are incapable of offering me the google experience im locking for, and as this is a carrier dominance, i dont have a choice but get the closest device for my budget, and that delivers the closest version to that google experience, and then root it, to get the proper battery life i paid for, and get rid of bloatware, which isnt productive for my needs, as THIS DEVICE IS MINE, I OWN IT!"

Network:

We are directly against Android!!!!
