[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVDWSN:
Thanks for that link! I basically did as the guy said and used the link to the 1.34.666.1 rom you linked in that thread. Only difference was I uploaded it to the SD and the issued the command adb reboot bootloader. This time no errors and the update worked!

So now I guess I just go ahead with a normal root of a 1.34.666.1 DZ?

Weird thing is the guy in that other thread said he got S-Off from doing this update... On my phone it's still S-On.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
All you have done is put a rom on the phone that allows S-OFF, I can't see anyway you could get it in a stock rom?! :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
You should now be able to follow this guide to get S-OFF (as above, I don't see how flashing a stock ROM would do this automatically): http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVDWSN:
So after downgrading I had S-ON. But I just finished the rest of the rooting process in the guide I linked in my original post and got root!

What a process. That must have taken 12 hours or more. I should really post a new guide with more complete info.

Thanks for the help guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thasan:
Now that I have root and S-Off downgrading from 1.84.666.2 to 1.34.666.1 using the processes DVDWSN did. Now I thought I could go back to 1.84.666.2 using OTA like I upgraded the first time. But when I try to do OTA, I get the message I do not have any new version. What gives?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
If you are trying to downgrade do not touch OTA updates lol. Anyways, what you want to do is temp root your phone so you can 'spoof' the radio version the an old one thereby allowing you to flash a radio that can be manipulated. If you aren't sure what to do then try following this guide.

Hey guys,

So if you still think the camera on the atrix sucks check out some shots I just got done taking. I have not edited these photos in anyway.

I used the LG camera pro app messed around with some settings particularly the white balance and Viola!!

These shots look pretty good to me.

Some of them kinda of mimick the iPhones ..saturation.

...damn lol these shots look like **** when they're blown up

I took this picture with the stock camera app
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Purple Drama Llama:
What were your settings?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Silent8Strike:
I had no problem using the camera on the Atrix, I was taking some close up images recently and was impressed by its ability to do the pictures well. I used the stock camera app too.

The lighting situation was pretty bad, but they still turned out ok.

This is what I was taking pictures of:

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gr8Danes:
I think the quality of the pics are not bad at all, but I do notice that when you first open the camera app and the first photo you take never seems to focus very good. any after that focus fine. Even with tap and hold to focus, the first shot seems poor.

Here are a few good shot I got with mine unedited.

How did you guys upload such big ones?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ChongoDroid:
Cute dogs haha... The flash doesn't compensate well at all. My n1 camera didn't work well with the flash either until cm6 so I don't expect much but anything close to macro with the flash becomes 2+ stops overexposed
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Silent8Strike:
Yep, M14.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Gr8Danes:
Thanks man. I agree about the flash too. Timing seems to be off when you hold to focus and then release. Could use some improvements.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Exthero:
The only M14's I have seen had the slide on the left side. either way still a great looking piece of hardware.

Atrix Camera

Not sure why some people are complaining about the camera on the Atrix. If you think it's bad, try using the camera on the Inspire. I had the Inspire before I switched to the Atrix, and lemme tell ya; the camera on the Inspire is disappointing, considering it's 8mp. Photos were grainy, and had a haze on most photos. IMO, I think the camera on the Atrix is pretty good. Photos are clear and sharp, and it's one of the fastest camera's on a cell phone I've used.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
Was just curious if anyone else had any luck with this. I have a COX HBO subscription and received a flyer in the mail informing me that I could watch HBO movies for free via the internet thru HBOGO.com because I have an HBO subscription.

I thought well hell maybe I can watch HBO movies on my Xoom. Sure enough HBO and COX are not blocking it or anything but the damn Xoom browser gets all buggy and either freezes or crashes somewhere during the movie.

It also works if you have an HBO subscription with Verizon, Comcast and DirectTV, etc..

Was curious to see others experiences with this and their Xoom...I watched a few minutes of Vertigo, Terminator Salvation and Avatar before the Xoom browser crashes.
[Xoom General] LynnL:
I tried in the stock browser, Firefox and Dolphin HD. The flash just doesn't seem to be able to handle it.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah I tried skyfire and dolphin as well with no luck. Stock worked best but eventually crashes.

I did a Google search and apparently HBO is coming out with an HBOGO app for iOS and Android, so hopefully that comes out sooner rather than later...or at least we get a working stable flash player/browser at some point.
[Xoom General] treyatl2006:
Im with directv.

I was able to get the stock browser to play but not without using unconventional methods. The video plays great once you actually get it to work.
[Xoom General] cordevil95:
I was able to get it to work with the stock browser. I only watched a few minutes of a show so I don't know how stable it was.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
We all know Dolphin Hd isnt honeycomb friendly yet...So why not try Dolphin Mini..It works 20 times better than Dolphin Hd
[Xoom General] fsunoles157:
Try dolphin mini works perfect once you get it to play. Kinda gotta tap it a few times to get it cuz it disapears but awesome. Just watched a movie on it. Dolphin mini is not like dolphin HD at all. Set it up though through settings as desktop user agent and flash always on
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
Thanks for the tips guys!!

I just tried HDMini and it worked for awhile and then the movie started skipping and freezing with the movie Vertigo. I DID get thru avatar so HD MINI sure beats stock.

Thanks again man!!!
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
Ha, check this out!! If you are an HBO subscriber this is HUGE news!!!

[Xoom General] GarnetandBlack:
I may need to get HBO again...
[Xoom General] sano614:
Was really excited about this until I read my cable provider (cablevision) will not be carrying this... ridiculous.
[Xoom General] fsunoles157:
not a problem :-)
[Xoom General] mwzuke:
I am able to use HBO to go with the stock browser in my xoom. I found that searching for movies in the portriat oriantation helps to see all the choices. I watch them full screen in landscape over wifi. The video is a little blockie looking but its a good start!
[Xoom General] nhenny2011:
I'm disappointed watching HBOGO on my XOOM. My wife has an iPad2 and it streams and look beautiful everytime. However, on the XOOM it will invariable get blocking and even freeze at times. There must be more overhead to display it in safari as we are both using the same high speed internet connection.:mad:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobirch2:
I'm not new to rooting, i used to have a rooted Evo. But all this DL09, EB01, stuff for the fascinate is getting confusing.

When i rooted my fascinate the first time i flashed a DL30 rom and my phone semi-bricked, it just hung at the samsung logo (i think the problem was i had the DL09 modem???). I had orange CWM but to get into it i had to go through stock blue recovery and apply update.zip every time. after i flashed the DL30 rom blue recovery wouldnt flash the update.zip, it said validation failed.

So i used odin to flash DJ01 stock, then the EB01 all in one root/recovery/SC 2.9, and then i flashed the red CWM-all. I no longer have blue recovery at all, which i think is good.

But now my problem is im afraid to flash a new rom. Since i no longer have to go through blue recovery to get to CWM i should be ok to flash anything right? If i mess it up so bad that it wont boot into the OS i should still be able to get into recovery and restore my backup regardless of what i flash through CWM right?

Also, on a related note. I have a theme for EB01 that i like (Im on SC 2.9 now). if i flash SC 2.9.2, then a new kernel, will my theme that worked on SC 2.9 still work on 2.9.2?

I think I read about this before the EVO was released and a bunch of people got all excited but nothing ever really happened!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693253

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade because this would be cool if it actually took off the ground BUT I doubt it will go anywhere because two reasons in my opinion!

1. Is easier to just buy a FM transmitter, some as low 35 dollars

http://www.amazon.com/Generation-Transmitter-integrated-Gomadic-TipExchange/dp/B0045DIQ9K

2. The developers on here have soooo much on their plate already. For example I think everyone would rather have Sense 3.0 up and running instead of this.........BUT like I said before, I'm not trying to rain on any parade! I for one would donate, support or whatever if we could actually get someone working on this ASAP.

That is all....LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
I think this is just as important as HDMI and 4G.

In all honesty, I've never used HDMI or 4G.

This on the otherhand, is something I'd use everyday, as would many others.

Good luck to those who take it upon themselves to become immersed in this project.

I'd love to see this come off the ground.

~ I'm a fungi

Edit: one thing comes to mind....

What would be used as an antenna?
[EVO 4G Android Development] filebug:
i think that is the biggest prob the headphones act as a headphone for the fm transmitter that would prob mean we would have to have headphones in to see any real use out of this thing
[EVO 4G Android Development] a senile fungus:
That, to me, seems like the smallest problem...

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtr145r:
From what I've read the antenna is already built in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
He means the headphones act as an antenna, which defeats the purpose of the transmitter, at least for me, since the purpose of the transmitter, in my case, is to broadcast my music to my car radio.

And to the guy who said the antenna is built in, if you try to use the FM radio, it will tell you you need to plug in headphones to use as an antenna. At least, the MIUI radio did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtr145r:
Yes but that is stock app. If an app is built you can over ride that request.

The reason for the headphones is obviously get better reception.

They wouldn't be needed BC the FM would only need to transmit about 5 to 10 feet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
Actually you would need an antenna. Take a blank headphone plug and plug it into the headphone jack to enable the receiver then try to tune in a radio station. Unless you a very close to the transmitting station you are not going to hear much other than hiss. Receivers are not as picky to antenna length as transmitters are. As long as the length of wire is close to the resonant frequency in length a receiver will operate fine. With transmitters you are now pushing a current through it. If the antenna is not there, or cut close to the resonant operating frequency that RF energy will be reflected back into the transmitter causing it to heat up,and eventually fail.

In our EVO's there are several antennas inside. Mainly for connecting to cellular, 3g, 4g, BT/WiFi on the UHF bands. FM broadcast is on the lower portion of the VHF band. So the FMBC antenna (3meters) will be considerably longer than say lower CDMA antenna (42cm). The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength (and antenna).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies#Frequency_bands_used_in_the_United_States

To fashion an antenna for this project you would need a blank headphone plug, some sort of material to fashion a dipole antenna (if you or someone you know makes plastic models the left over plastic would be perfect. Wood is not a good insulator to this project), and very thin insulated (painted) speaker wire. now for a full wave antenna you will need about 9 feet of wire (you can shorten it to 1/2, or 1/4 wave). Take the plastic rods from a model kit and fashion it into a T placing the lower part of the T into the plug then running the wires from the appropriate connections in the plug up to the top portion of the T then winding the wire out to each end. Effectively making a loaded dipole antenna.

Now I skipped alot of stuff because I don't have all the information on the chip used so I don't know if it has a tuning circuit for loading the transmitting antenna or not. You may have to add a capacitor at the top of the T between the two stubs to properly tune it. the reason I chose a dipole over a omnidirectional (whip) is because the dipole is more efficient, and easier to tune. As a matter of fact the antennas in most cellphones are now dipoles. Since most phones now have to operate hands free the omnidirectional (whip) is impractical since our hands were used as the groundplane.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Where's teamwin at ..... ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stalte:
now thats the comment I was anticipating.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
So do all those FM transmitters we buy have 9ft of wire for the antenna?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
More than likely no. The use loading coils, and coil-capacitor circuits. Depending on which is cheaper at the moment, and enclosure size.

For a fullwave antenna yes. Several things you can do to "shorten" it. You can coil it, you can cut it to the appropriate wavelength (1/2, 1/4, or 1/8th wave), and coil it. The drawback is once you shorten it either way you narrow the bandwidth, and the ability to properly tune it to whatever frequency you set the transmitter to.

For example using the full sized antenna you are able to use the transmitter the full broadcast band (87MHz-107.5MHz) with it not going out of tune causing power loss, and power being reflected back to the transmitter itself. Shorten the antenna to a 1/2 wave (4.5') you may be only be able to tune from say 95MHz to 102MHz, and so on. Effectively you are narrowing the amount of usable bandwidth you can use. now you can make an L-C (capacitor-coil) circuit so you can use the full spectrum but you will incur line losses so your effective radiated power will be lower (not that you had much to begin with). Depending on your receiver that you would be transmitting to the lower power may lead to more outside interference (ie noise).
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtr145r:
ive been trying to find the pin out for the broadcom chip but i cant find it anywhere.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
I've been trying as well. Broadcom posted almost every other chip's datasheet, but not that one.. I am going to call Broadcom's tech support line on Monday and see if I can get one out of them besides that crappy incomplete block diagram in the promo handout. Know anybody that has the actual schematic for the EVO? That would even be more helpful. Then you would know what is, and what is not connected. Plus you wouldn't have to tear one down to check the connections.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cjunior:

[EVO 4G Android Development] twigs187:
In for this. I really hope someone can get this working :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
I can't speak for all of TeamWin on this subject, but here's my take on the matter: obviously you're going to need to plug some kind of an antenna into the headphone jack to make the FM transmitter work at all (and that's assuming that it's even possible to make it work). Since you're going to have to plug *something* in to make it work, is it really that much different to plug the headphone jack into a FM modulator?

A wired FM modulator like this one will work the best, but this requires a little installation work.

There are also items like this one that don't need any installation - just plug it into a cigarette lighter and your phone and go.

Yes, these cost money, but even $40 isn't a ton of money. If you're willing to promise to donate $20 to a developer, why not pony up a little more money and get something that's for sure going to work and will work with future devices after you've tossed your EVO 4G aside for an EVO 3D?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
You can't use the headphones because the impedance (Z) would be so out of whack that you'll damage the transmitter, and possibly the chip itself. Receivers don't care, but once you start putting current through a wire (transmitting) it is a whole new ballgame. Now you have to worry about loading (impedance matching), line losses, and SWR. In one of my previous posts I put forth the basics for building an antenna for this project. Probably costs no more than $10, and some time to build.

Still no luck with BroadCom.. Trying to locate a schematic for the EVO instead..

[EVO 4G Android Development] cphancock1:
fm modulators are horrible

This is really a waste of time. The sound on a good quality FM modulator is crappy. One built into a phone is even worse. BT is a much better option, or an inline connection. I just spent $110 on eBay bought a decent head unit and installed it in less than an hour. Honestly don't waste your time with FM transmission. Sure everyone wants everything for free but come on spend a little money once in a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cjunior:

[EVO 4G Android Development] wright3d:
I agree, this would also be cool if I could use it on my hometheater system or boombox. They are old so don't have a lot of connectivity. They work fine for my purposes and I see no reason to buy new ones.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikereidis:
:) Yeah, I'd guess $40 may be OK for many when it comes to a new piece of hardware.

But I can't imagine anyone would be happy to pay $40 (or perhaps even $10) for an app that does the same (and eliminates the need for multiple devices, wires etc.)

I've developed an FM receiver app for TI based FM chips, and have now added experimental support for Broadcom chips. I've played a bit with the Tx functions but didn't detect any carrier.

Anway, there's a real demand IMO for FM Rx on phones lately and that will be my primary focus and I think will keep me pretty busy for a while.

There IS some demand for Tx, but I think it makes sense to tackle Rx first.

Would be cool to have some walkie-talkie like functionality though. Of course most seem to want it to stream to car radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikereidis:
I have an ancient background in electronics, but not so much with RF. Thank you for the reminder about issues like SWR. I never thought as I was trying to test my phones transmitter that I might have been damaging components.

On this TI chip, I HAVE noted some commands specifically for setting Tx tuning capacitance and some other Tx antenna function.

YES ! Please, let's get that Broadcom 432x info. I've had to reverse engineer the TI chips FM (No NDA for me) and have only begun with the Broadcom command set. But I was under the impression that Broadcom data sheets were easy to get.

I've noted though that TI is becoming more open and releasing source code openly now. Hopefully Broadcom will get the open bug too.
