[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
My screen has a weird cloud on it on the right side (ffc is up) about the size of half a pinky fingernail that is red, green, and blue all mixed up (probably liquid crystal). Whenever I press within 3 inches of it, it changes to black and it's really annoying, for example, when I scroll with my right hand and it goes black and obstructs view. This was after someone I was showing it to dropped it from 4 feet :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I've been planning to return it to Costco and wait for Tegra 3 / Kal-El, but haven't yet. Should I:

1. Call up Moto and have them fix it

2. Return at Costco and get new one

3. Return at Costco and wait for something else

4. Fix it at home

(This is in my order of favorite to least favorite)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p2flol:
If you bought it at costco why wouldn't you return it and get a new one, i've returned 3 no questions asked.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjoudrey:
I have the same exact problem and figured I would wait for the 4g upgrade to return it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Sorry to hear about the 4 foot drop. Surely you're not considering failing to mention the fall to Costco, right?

Ethics aside, it seems like exchanging would serve you well. Good luck with whichever choice you make.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Land Master:
Costco is the best. Probably won't even ask why you want to return.

I would return for full credit and then turn around and buy another one on a different receipt.

If they do ask why you are returning it.... tell them you didn't like it. Done!

Edit: Assume you know that they have a 90 Day return policy? ..... Yipeeeee
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
I got the Wifi version so no point in "waiting".

I guess I could just TB and restore after re-rooting. I was just wondering, though, if there was any cheap and quick way to fix this. For example, maybe since the cloud comes naturally if I bend the device, I could bend it again except in the other way as to get rid of the "cloud".

I definitely wont mention the fall to Costco.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oddball23:
I'm sorry for posting this in General, but the new user limitation keeps me from posting this in the dev forum.

Is there a way to apply any of the sharpness fixes on CF-Kernel? I don't want to switch kernels, but would like to try the sharpness fixes on my JVB 3.1 CF.

Help would be much appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdroid:
I think CF cannot grant your request as of now. He stated many times that he wont add features/fixes that requires recompiling the kernel. I do agree with you that his modded kernel is quite excellent and that makes it hard to switch to other kernels. I used his kernels too for a very long time. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oddball23:
Thank you for your reply. :)

I'm actually not looking to have CF integrate a sharpness fix on his kernel, but was wondering if there was a way to do it by myself, whether with an update.zip or by changing some system files or parameters.

I hope there is a way.

I don't want a case, the phone seems relatively tough by design, gorilla glass and all. I'm concerned about the camera though. Anyone have any ideas for protection or whether it actually needs it?

Interesting - didnt know those sort of things existed.

Not sure what to do about mine - I'll monitor this thread with interest
[Galaxy S II Accessories] steve228uk:
It was my understanding that the lens cover is made of the same/similar glass that's used for the front of the phone.

The HTC Desire etc. had a plastic lens cover that was on the back cover rather than on the actual phone itself which is why something like that needed to exist.

I've got a scratch on the front screen of my phone already! Didn't get any in my hero this bad after 20 months. No idea how it happened.

(temporarily for now) I have a small square cut out from the left outs of INVISISHIELD screen protector and have placed it over the "8.0 MEGA" bit.

So when I place it on the table the invisishield will take the weight & scratches :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] squiggie:
Thanks for linking to my site eddablin and Hampa_D! :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kersh:
simply buy a cheap phone protector, cut it and put in to the lens. I do that on my hd2 for years and its great.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eddablin:
This sounds like a good idea. Does it affect picture quality through the invisishield though?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
No I just did two really thin strips on the top and bottom of the lens so that it doesn't affect camera whatsoever. And on the bottom just above the speakers. Ill take a pic and post it when I have time. :) definitely working though. I'm at peace without needing a case.

Looks good. I'm sure I had some of this stuff lying around but predictably, I can't find it. Will definitely buy some!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DocSoton:
I find it hard to believe that some case maker doesnt jump on this gap in the market and design a case with a simple sliding or magnetic cover over the lens... it seems simple, in my head!

Im going to try and make my own cover on a silicon case, just ordered some really thin magnetic strip and going to try to devise a simple material flap to cover the lens and fix with the magnet.. sue, it will prob look awful, but its a case of function over design for me!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dk206:
Will look forward to it. Mind you the official Samsung Galaxy II case is out in England. The canera bit is reccessed giving it protection wheb its lied flat on a surface. However still no lens cover anywhere online.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
Checked the list of threads that appeared and didn't receive a definitive answer.

I know that it will restore to stock 2.3.3, but I'm just curious if the kernel will follow suit as well. I'm running Netarchy at the moment, but I want to get back to 100% stock ROM and kernel. I was told by a few people that a simple wipe doesn't always get the kernel. This could be true or false. I don't really care.

I'm assuming if the Stock nandroid backup was 100% stock, that it will restore the kernel, although I'm just looking for a simple confirmation or piece of direction.

Answers are appreciated, or links to a thread that answers the question if I missed it.

Thanks in advance everyone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
Yes if the nandroid back up has the stock kernel. A nandroid is a backup of the current state of your phone. For example, you did a nandroid of your phone when you were on MIUI rom + netarchy kernel. When you restore that nandroid it will restore MIUI + the netarchy kernel.

So if you download a nandroid in the development section then yeah, it should definitely return you to stock as long as that nandroid has the stock kernel. :)

Thank you very much for the reply and clarification. I appreciate it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
This is something I've had pretty much since day one from what I can remember. Basically, sometimes the screen won't come on but the buttons light up. I press the power button again to 'lock' the screen, give the screen a hardish smack and then press power as normal to wake the screen and it comes on fine.

Is this SD card related or something else?

[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/04/htc-starts-ota-gingerbread-updates-for-desire-hd-and-incredible/

I guess it is assumed that we wont see official update till AFTER the Evo3D is released or at least closer to it.

Just odd to see them get the update before us when Sprint was so big on getting the Evo to FroYo before most others.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
I think thats correct.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
EVO was HTC's biggest unreleased device when Froyo was out. They probably had a test Froyo EVO ROM as soon as the source hit. Now HTC has a ton of other newer devices to prioritize. Wouldnt expect the same with 2.3.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Unfortunately, the EVO is OLD news.

Although I would like to get an official GB update.. I really only want the kernel source. That way XDA can create GB roms that work with newer versions of Sense.

The "official" update is so minor that if you're running stock, you won't notice much of anything at all.

[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I would just like to put this out in the open for those with serious issues with ec05. My epic recently was going absolutely bonkers. From randomly frequent freezes to framework fc's. My phone now is in perfect working order. What I found that screwed everything up for me was the stock odin of ec05. The version I had (EC05 FULL) was causing these issues. If you have the same issues try this...

Odin back to eb13 and upgrade to ec05 ota instead of flashing ec05 from the get go. What I found was that the version I had must of been modded in one way or another. Not only that but when I redownloaded ec05 full I couldn't extract with winrar. I get getting a file is corrupt message. Anywho if your having issues try the above. After the above I have absolutely no issues. No freezes, no fc's, and my battery life is back to top notch and the phone flies! Cheers!
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
I've been running midnight 5.2 with journaling on @1.2ghz since then with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Just an fyi if your curious...
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Im gonna say a mojor percentage of problems are coming from the kernels,I am now using DRockstar's kernel,and no problems at all. So for me its either "clean kernel 1.02" or "Twilight Zone 1.0.4" for the most stable ROM. I dont disagree with what you have said,but I think the bigger problem is the kernels.
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Im sure it is too. Not negating that. A software issue wouldnt make my screen artifact and turn into a dark yellow haze. Lol I swear I thought my phone was done. At one point the phone locked up and the screen went black with just 3 blue and red pixels. After flashing my phone a crapload of times since ec05 came out this has been the surefire way to get ec05 to work properly. From a stock rom standpoint atleast. I believe we still don't have the official ec05 tar right? If so next time you decide to flash from scratch try this method instead. My phone hasn't run this well since acs 2.1 shuriken. That says ALOT lol
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
The only real stock EC05 was put out by K0nane and ACS. All other tars were modded and prerooted.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nmiltner:
First off, hi. I'm somewhat a rookie at theming, but I've been doing it enough to know my way around. I've got a ? about apktool and gingerbread apks. Has anyone else had issues with rebuilt Gingerbread apps Force Closing on them? I have apktool 1.3.1.

All I am editing right now are some xmls to change colors. When I rebuild, I have no errors but when I install the apks they all force close. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Also I have apkmanager as well, and the same edits work just fine with it. I just prefer to use apktool.

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oscar6263:
I have a vibrant that must have a defective usb port. It won't charge. The phone also has other weirdness. Sometimes doesn't turn on. Sometimes goes around in circles. In otherwords, pretty much FUBAR.

It is currently running Bionix V 1.3.1. I am unable to get my pc to see the vibrant with Odin. Odin can see my other vibrant phone.

I would like to put the phone back to stock so I can return it to T-Mobile.

Is there a way to return the phone to stock using clockwork recovery, nandroid backup, or something like that?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
There are stock flashable zips. Not certain it will fix your issues. Check the Bible in the dev section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbamade:
Here's what to do....

boot your other vibrant that works into recovery.

choose advanced. then choose backup/restore

choose backup

choose yes. let it do the process of backing up.

when its done. plug it into your computer and mount USB

go to the folder choose the folder which is your phone (not the sdcard in your phone) called clockwordmod in there in there should be a folder named something like 2011-5-4 or something that...

copy and paste that folde to your desktop

now copy that same folder to your sdcard. anywhere is good just remember where it is

remove the sdcard from that phone. (advise settings/storage/UNMOUNT)

put the sdcard in your messed up phone

when it finished Scanning Media Card . use Root explorer and copy that folder to the Clockworkmod folder on your phone

reboot to recovery

choosed advanced then choose backup/restore

choose restore

that file should be there

choose it then select "yes"

this will do a nandroid back-up of the ROM on your other phone

It will now have the same ROM as your other phone but should work fine.

this process can be done using any ROM from your other phone

if you want it stock..just revert your GOOD phone to stock FIRST and start from the beginning of my instructions (assuming you know how to Install clockwork mod)

::thanks? did i help?"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Nice tip but how often do we have an extra phone that is exactly the same laying around? Just saying......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mryounghc:
could be your charging port. i went through 3 of them and it is frustrating. check in settings, battery if it is actually charging. everytime mine went bad it would never show its charging. not on the status bar or lockscreen. only when i checked it in settings it showed. and of course it never connects to the pc.

that may be part of your problem. good luck

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mryounghc:
I couldnt fix it, i bout ports off of ebay but the solder is way too small for me to handle. And everyone I talked to wanted from 55 to 75 bucks. I just got the motherboards each time. I probably should have forked out the money to repair it because it seems like the used boards were waiting to go bad anyway. It already cost me over 100 bucks so far:(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
I only paid $100 for the phone, guess I should get on Craigslist.

What are you looking at shortbus......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Lol i am aware of that but i was in the same boat and i dont have another vibrant laying around. I thought for weeks my usb port on the phone was bad but on a hunch a decided to go get a name brand usb cable from tmobile themselves and voila it worked flawlessly. I would check into a new cable from tmobile if you havent already, it solved my problem.
[Nook Color General] innosia:
Guys, I want to share with you

I finally realize that the money I spend out to buy nook color is not worth it. beside used for browsing, youtube, playing game, I also want to use it for playing video, however when I try to play MKV files, the video and sound is out of sync, and when I try to play AVI file in mobo player, it can't be played and I switch to use QQPlayer and it plays fine however some frame is skipping so the video seems a bit laggy. THIS IS SO DISAPPOINTING, nowadays most video files are in MKV format, why this tablet is not supporting to play MKV video compare to other tablets?

FOr the same price I can get tabulet (tablet from china), it can play video file well compare to nook, the only problems maybe it will have slower update compare to phiremod. Now tell me, why you wanna buy a Nook color while the same amount of money can be used to buy other tablets or top up a bit to buy other tablet that can play video files.
[Nook Color General] jimbobalu:
What speed is your SD? I am running Gingerbread on a 16GB class 6 card and have no issues playing AVI files in Moboplayer.

If I was looking to buy a tablet today I would not buy a Nook, got mine for $200. But would instead buy the Asus Transformer if they ever get any in stock.
[Nook Color General] trellis23:
I also have no problem playing videos. That said, I've never tried an MKV file, as I've never heard of it. So I definitely can't support your assertion that most videos are in the format these days. But I'll have to trust you that the NC has troubles playing it.
[Nook Color General] reaper12:
I have no trouble playing mkv files using mobo player. I am using CM7 with OC Kernel 04/24.

Im watching the rite now on my nook color as we speak. Its very smooth and I'm using Mobo. So I dont see what you are talking about
[Nook Color General] Cuhulin:
Nook Color is an ereader that some people have converted to general tablet use. There is no reason why it would have its own video player.
[Nook Color General] petey00:
Hopefully it's still not too late for you to return the Nook. The Nook was never known for it's multimedia capabilities. It was designed and marketed as an e-Reader. It's great that the dev community is able to enhance the capabilities of the device. Good luck!
[Nook Color General] innosia:
i am using phiremod 6.2 with 720p quality, how about yours? I guess must be 480p quality
[Nook Color General] wpbear:
I got my NV on Saturday then rooted it and put CM7.0.2 stable on the emmc (not SD). I converted three movies in Handbrake using recommended settings found on XDA to MP4. I use Rockplayer and it works great. The movies are about 900mb in size with running length about 1hr 45 min and no problems.

The only video/audio sync issue I saw was using MLB.TV app but the is a common problem with MLB app. Playon MLB app works fine.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Phiremod 6.2 IS CM7, with some extra skinning.

Anyway, a little research will go a long way. The Nook does not have the hardware to play most 720P movie; though Mobo player will play a few quite well. The built in hardware decoding can only do up to 480P, and Mobo player, using certain CPU decoding pieces, can do some 720P.

BUt as it is, you would have known all this if you had just done some research beforehand. Video on the nook is a hot topic, and not something you would have to dig deep to find out about, including its weaknesses.

And please... what a load about the Chinese players. Yes, you can get a crap tablet for $150... that has a low res resistive screen, Android 2.1, no community, and no support (oh, and looks like a bad iPad knockoff to boot). But please, since you alone seem to know about them, please point us to another knockoff tablet that has such an amazing screen, great hardware (all that can hit 1.1Ghz, and most that can hit 1.3Ghz), for $200-$225 (best buy was having a $25 gift card sale recently)..
[Nook Color General] ekz13:
same, try rockplayer, works for me.. running rooted stock and draggin-dropping .avi's to a class 16 class 2 sd, they play fine.
[Nook Color General] innosia:
if you know nothing about tabulet (china tablet that rebrand by indonesia company), then don't say anything. Though it is 700mhz it can play video well,

so what if nook can be overclocked to 1,3Ghz? Is there so many apps that is running in background that need the speed? It is not a pc, it is a tablet mostly for single or two task for simple like listening to music while reading, it is not for running many apps behind the scene such as rendering video or encoding

the different between those china tablet and nook is their graphic capabilities. Those china tablet, viewsonic tablet or asus tablet has better VGA and hardware decoding features that enable them to play video smoothly, unlike nook which is merely an over expensive e-reader that both expensive and yet unable to play video files well. And FYI, tabulet or china tablet is now moving to capacitive, though not much is capacitive but most new product is in capacitive screen, so forget about your idea that telling you all china tablet is resistive!
[Nook Color General] lechiffre:
So go buy a "china tablet" then. What's the point in whining about something that everyone knows about beside trolling?
