[Focus General] K.wayne_m3:
I personally am an android fan I have lg g2x im in here for my fiances focus looking around . I like how responsive the wp7 os is but at the same time when I play with her focus it seems like there is nothing today besides social websites(facebook,etc..) I like android for the customizations but android phones are not as responsive as wp7 plus on any android phone i have had there was always bugs. I would like android customization plus the ui with the stability of wp7.
[Focus General] Syst3m:
When you're finished developing your own OS, please let everyone know, i'm sure they'd be happy to try it.

Hey guyz whats up just today, my evo 4g Camera started taking incredibly horrible pictures i dont know why i was thinking maybe it was the rom so i flashed it to another rom to try it out and it did the same thing...before it was running mikfroyo 4.61 with netarski kernel it was OCed to 1228Mhz using setcpu...now the phone is running Wym warm 2.2 RL5 with Stock HTC Kernel? do you guyz think this is a software or hardware issue?? I have never dropped the phone and it does not have a single Scratch...your help is appreciated guys....Thank you

Check out the pics below do you can see what I mean
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazda:
I don't know for sure because this is the first time of me hearing about anything like this to the camera but it looks like it might be a hardware issue. I know you said that you've never dropped it or anything like that but did you happen to leave it in the sun with the camera facing up at it or anything like that?

If it's still under warranty then take it to the sprint store....After unrooting and going back to the stock rom of course AND they should be able to either replace your EVO or fix it if they know how to.

[EDIT]

If you feel up to the task of doing it yourself then here's where to buy the front facing camera for 17 dollars, I'm sure if you google it too, you'll find the know how to replace it without messing anything up too bad.

Thank you for the help Brother....its just wierd happened today all of the sudden...the last picture i was able to take was one of my new pioneer cdj 800 mk2s...i've only had the phone for less than a year so yes it should be under warranty

I wonder if its something to do with the light sensor??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Try to clear your cache+dalvik and then see if it works. If that doesn't work wipe your cache + dalvik then flash another kernel.

If that still doesn't work. Nandroid backup, and try flashing another ROM. Wipe data + cache + dalvik.

If all of these don't fix it, then its definitely a hardware issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalexorellana:
Thank you for your help...i tried all your suggestions and no luck....i think there is an issue with the light sensor or the focus because it only happens when its auto focusing must definately be a hardware issue...going to unroot to take to sprint store...Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
What hardware is your phone 0002 0003 0004? The 0004 had alot of fixes to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalexorellana:
Thanks for the reply...my hardware version is 0003....just as a small update...thinking that i would have to take the phone back to the sprint store i unrooted it and applied all the updates and i checked the camera now and it fixed...I wonder what was the problem then...should i try to root it again? what do you guyz think?? let me know
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
Give rooting a try lol it looked like a someone stuck a magnet to it. If you root it and it does it again then unroot and take it back.

0004 had something fixed with the camera or so I read on google. Not to much info on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalexorellana:
question for you reaper if you don't mind....i know that unrevocked flashes clockword mod i dont know some old version.... is there anyway to make clockwork flash anon recovery in one shot i hear that anon is much better at wiping data also what rom do you suggest? when i root probably gonna put myn warm 2.2 RL5
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
Here you go man Amon 2.3 put it on your sd card and boot into hboot and let it install it. This wipes everything so no problems like others have using roms.

Can flash and backup things with it also.

I like Elite 3 seems to be my favorite of all times there are to many new builds out there of the leaked GB thing there too buggy.

Myns is good so is Elite 3.

PM ME if you need help bro.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
Take it to a Sprint repair location and have them push the camera module back down onto the board. That'll fix it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
He fixed it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalexorellana:
Thanks for the reply....i'm going to see how it cooperates for now i brought it back to unroot and then rooted again and it seems to have corrected the issue Thanks for the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
So what fixs did they do for 0004 version?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalexorellana:
It did it again

It did it again but i noticed that when i push on the flash LEDs then it fixes....something definately is loose on there

This entire thread has been helpful for me! THANK YOU ALL!!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sameog:
Funny that you mention this issue. I had the same exact problem. I skimmed through the Net and find this quick fix.

Launch your camera and press menu. Uncheck autofocus and face detection. Exit camera. Problem solved.

For the record, these setting will stay this way until you either change your rom or change the settings again.

I hope this helps.

Hey all -

Got the Nook Color for the wife for mothers day, put the downloaded ZIP to upgrade the STOCK...

Is there a way to just add the Kindle app? wife has a metric ton of kindle books. she definitely needs to keep the kindle books...
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Without rooting, I don't think you'll be able to get that app on there.

You could go get calibre and hunt around the internet and convert the kindle books to epub format.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24bear:
Greetings XDA folks! My Nexus One is being passed to my girlfriend, as she broke her Huawei Ideos, so now I'm looking at the Nexus S. I'm based in Taiwan, so I only will get the Super Clear LCD version. Really would like to hear XDA thoughts on this phone and how it has treated them over the course of their ownership...

- Hardware/software issues?

- How it holds up without a case - scratches/wear/tear?

My main concern is reliability in general. I prefer sticking to the stock Android experience and I'm okay with rooting/3rd party ROMs if they're reliable; so if you guys have other phone suggestions please feel free to plug them in! Much appreciated! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suomaf:
No complaints, have had the phone since the US release. But if you are in Taiwan, would you like to wait for a galaxy S II or maybe the original galaxy s? The original galaxy s is very rich in roms and performs quite well.

The screen for the nexus is NOT gorilla glass, so I have a screen protector on at all times, the back is very easily scratchable. If you are concern about keeping your phone in mint condition, I would suggest that you get a case or a replacement back cover. Only thing about the back covers though is that they have the NFC in it and so it can be limted or hard to find. Or otherwise get the one without NFC and "cripple" your phone.

Have had both the galaxy S and they nexus s, and I switch between both as my daily phone. If you got any questions, just ask me I will try to answer as best as I can. I wish I could get a new phone too but they wife will kill me :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24bear:
Hey suomaf, I would love to have the SGII, but as of now they have not given a release date here in Taiwan and I really don't want to fork more than 600 USD/415 EUR for import. I looked at the Galaxy S too, but hesitant about its GPS - whereas the Nexus S seemed to address that issue from other reviews I've read; or did they address this issue on a particular version that I'm not aware of? Thanks for your input, it's much appreciated! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DumbUglyDragon:
Software wise I think its great. Also great if you love flashing ROMs.

I agree that the backcover scratches easily. A lot of cases will even scratch it, I found out the hard way.

Putting on a case protects it but adds bulk. Especially if you are used to using the Nexus One naked. I may give the Incipio Feather case a try next.

Also, you'll probably miss the notification LED. You can get BLN, but it isn't quite the same.

Another thing I miss is the desktop and car dock.

All and all, I think it's a pretty solid device. Just the ideal device for me is a hybid of the Nexus One/S

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24bear:
Hey DumbUglyDragon... interesting name... so it sounds like the Nexus S body needs a good amount of protection from visual scuffs. If I remembered correctly, the Nexus S doesn't come with a pouch like the Nexus One, right? I prefer naked phone with pouch, so any pouch options any of you Nexus S owners can suggest (if any)? Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DumbUglyDragon:
I used the pouch that came with my old myTouch 3G (HTC Magic) for a while. It was basically a sunglass pouch. Kept it protected from scratches, but a bit cumbersome to have to open the pouch to pull out the phone every time I wanted to use it. But it is nothing like the ballistic nylon pouch the Nexus One came with :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I love my Nexus S so much. Got it in late December; it's had to go in for repair once since then- it would go unresponsive if left asleep for more than a couple hours for some reason. Got fixed and returned by Geek Squad in about ten days. Other than that, it's been all good times. I can't tell you much on your second question; I've had an Invisible Shield and Amzer silicone case on it almost from day one. My mom's seems to be holding up pretty well without a case (she's only had hers for a month). As long as you don't drop the thing, it should be alright without one. I wouldn't trust not having a screen protector on it for any real length of time, though; especially if you aren't the super careful type.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
I came from a 'dumb' sony erricson phone, to the Nexus S.

At first i was actually scared to take it out with me (being quite expensive and all), but i buoght a flip case for it so that part was sorted lol.

Definately buy some sort of protection for it though, otherwise it will scratch up.

In all honesty when i first got this phone i was not impressed (first smart phone), but now that ive had it for a few months, i find it simply amazing.

I am running the NS Collab ROM which is based off CM7 with the usual tweaks etc

Basically , you won't be dissapointed!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamarama:
Only problems I've had with Nexus S have been the poor Google Skymap performance ... it jumps around everyone and is essentially unusable with the compass.

Using pure GPS is fine (so navigation and geocaching not affected) but the compass is poor.

Plus side, the phone is fast and smooth. It gets updates straight from Google, so no waiting for the maker to decide to release an update. It can be easily rooted and ROM'd if you want.

I do not use a screen protector or a case, because they make the phone look ugly. I use a Golla bag (http://www.golla.com/#/en/products/search/category/mobile/) that clips onto my belt and the phone has remained in tip-top condition.

Overall, very please with the phone and have no desire to change it for anything else.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatTHESEbullets:
I actually love the nexus s and I also have the original galaxy s. I beloved both perform equally well. You were concerned about GPS with the galaxy s, which CAN be remedied by using a custom rom but then you sacrifice the already low battery life even further. The nexus s has been an awesome phone to me. I would still suggest to wait or save for a 4g compatible phone. I'm not sure of coverage in your area but I was disappointed when I realized my nexus s was not 4g capable and its very similiar device the the original galaxy s.

My .02 cents.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Custom ROMs / Kernels actually make your phone last longer in terms of battery life.

4G? Can care less.. but HEY! Look at the Droid Charge and Thunderbolt. It's definitely draining your phone's battery at a 4G speed ;)

3.5G (HSDPA) is enough for me.. I'm not using my phone as primary internet.

Source: http://androidandme.com/2011/05/new...-battery-issues-that-haunted-the-thunderbolt/

Personally. I love the Nexus S, great screen, developer support is starting to increase. The only phone I'd consider as a competitor would be the LG G2x. But even then, I committed myself to only getting Nexus phones.

No worries man. I know it's off topic but what is the status of asus transformer stocks like in taiwan?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24bear:
You can buy them if you search a bit, there are a few here and there in some smaller retail shops. Online stores, it's more difficult to find. There are a lot of mix bagged feelings for ASUS Transformer for Taiwan folks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24bear:
Thanks! 4G isn't really pushed too much here in Taiwan, since we have a bunch of public Wi-Fi networks here - "WiFly" service; very convenient for anybody who comes to Taiwan! For the Galaxy S, I tried diving into see the ROMs available, but I'm going to stick with the stock Nexus experience; all the ROMs I see seems to look only beta and ongoing.

[Acer Iconia A500] Bboy486:
I was in Best Buy this weekend when i came across the Acer Iconia. It is a nice little device and it has a lot of potential. I decided to do a little research and come to these forums to get more information.

Here is what I know:

W/O rooting it will support FAT 32 HDD, has a lot of trouble with different video formats, can only playback 720. The camera as not the greatest. Acer provides the updates so you can expect little to no updates by their history (Asus is not much better as I had an Asus O!Play and the support was horrible).

Once rooted you can enable ntfs support.

My question is if it can shoot video in 1080p and it can only playback 720p what happens to the video you watch from your recording? is it getting downsampled? This seemed like an inconsistency to me. Also, is the video issues due to Honeycomb? I would have to think this is true because other users have had success on xoom or the asus eee transformer.

As i was researching i saw the Toshiba ANT. It is basically all the same specs except optimized more for media. Since it is not in stores yet I do not have a lot to compare.

Do other users have any thoughts on these two (Acer from use and TOshiba from reviews?).

Should I just wait until the Toshiba is available? Is Honeycomb going to get a little more mature with an update?

I currently have a rooted EVO and love it. I am adverse to the iPad due to the lack of expandable media and proprietary video chatting.

For my tablet I am looking for 1080 playback, 1080 HDMI out, support for a lot of profiles (but I am willing to handbrake if needed like i did for my evo). Ideally rooting (the Acer is super easy to root), use the apps on my evo on my tablet (I know i have to wait for the honeycomb versions), USB Support for ex journal or ntfs, DLNA support (Twonky is what i use), Video chatting that works (I haven't got a video chat app to work on the evo).

I know its a long list but for the money, I do not want to be disappointed at the lack of features or issues that a lot of these tabs are having.

Thanks for any help and suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A500] SmittyRN:
Don't think you will be able to compare the two until the Toshiba comes out and people get their hands on it. I like the Acer, but the biggest problem I'm having right now is the SD card access; you can't see it in Windows, and so far I haven't figured out how to make my media programs store to it. As far as the 720p vs 1080p issue, from what I understand you have to have a screen bigger than 26" or so to be able to tell the difference, so I'm not worried about that one.

This tablet will be a lot better when they unlock the bootloader and the devs start working their magic on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] butchconner:
Bboy486,

Just an opinion. I just bought an Acer. I studied what I could find

on the Xoom, Acer, ASUS Transformer, Toshiba and Samsung Galaxy

Tab 10.

The all have deficiencies and advantages.

-- Xoom costs too much IMO.

-- ASUS doesn't have USB on tablet and I need that.

-- Samsung also doesn't have (won't have?) good connections.

-- Toshiba has full-size SDCard (I think I remember) but price is suppose to be....

My point is not to provide details on the tablets, but to show that there is no such

thing as a perfect tablet.

IMHO, the Acer Iconia A500 provides the most features I need -- mini and full-size USB, HDMI type d out, microsSD card, very good screen, HC, etc. And the price is

good at $449 too.

I'm sure eventually there will be a better one come along. I'll just have to decide

then whether or not to buy it.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna have some fun!!!!

Rev

P. S. -- The Acer so far is not extremely mod-able. But if it is good for daily use I can

live with that and keep playing with my G-Tablets.

P. S. S. -- Someone was talking about only 720P. If I remember correctly, Acer says it will

have a patch out to up that to 1080p early summer!!??? I think I read that.......

Also the Toshiba looks twice as thick as the Acer. http://www.thetoshibatablet.com/
[Acer Iconia A500] akademik09usa:
I would say wait for the Nexus Tablet which is suppose to be release this year. It would make sense to buy Googles development tablet.

We can see updates to Honeycomb directly from Google.

[Acer Iconia A500] Bboy486:
@Smitty

That is the problem. We don't know when the Toshiba will hit stores or availability. I also do not know what Toshiba historically is known for with software updates. I know from experience the Acer > Asus but < HTC.

On your SD issue, is the card formatted Fat or Fat32? I know this is a Acer Iconia limitation.

When I was referring to 720 vs 1080 i meant the formats of my movies. So for example, if i had a 1080p movie, will the Iconia downsample the video to 720, or give me an error that it cannot play it? I read a bunch about the Iconia having a lot of issues with file formats. My Evo for example can play a 1080p movie with Rockplayer. Works well. Do not need to handbrake the file if I do not want to.

Bootloader - is that the same a the recovery and clockworkmod? I saw a post about an easy root method and a ntfs fix (this might also help you!)
[Acer Iconia A500] Bboy486:
"-- Toshiba has full-size SDCard (I think I remember) but price is suppose to be...."

--- Not sure if i follow your point here? The prices are 450, 500, and 550 or 600 for 8, 16, 32GB models. They were on amazon, bb, and newegg, but they can change I am sure.

"IMHO, the Acer Iconia A500 provides the most features I need -- mini and full-size USB, HDMI type d out, microsSD card, very good screen, HC, etc. And the price is good at $449 too."

--- I assume you haven't had issues with the FAT 32 limitation of HDD (all my drives are NTFS or ext Journaled. What if you want to play a BluRay RIP? I do agree the price is decent, that is why I am interested.

What do you mean not mod-able? You can root, and i am sure there are themes and launchers available ala OS 2.3.

Do you know where you read about the patch? I have a bad history with Asus and promises of 1080p support on devices. My Acer Revo Atom 230 was also suppose to do 1080, but realistically it can do 720p without a sweat. But Acer promised with FLash 10.1 and hardware acceleration is would work. It didnt though.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bboy486:
@akademik09usa

I hear you. There is always going to be something coming out if one waits. I waited for four years for the iphone on verizon. Went to Sprint last summer after 9 years on Verizon and got an evo. I could have waited but I love me phone most of the time after getting comfortable with Android.

Anyway, sorry for the tangent. Your post got me thinking, which updates are you referring to? If the Acer for example is rooted and i take an OTA then it will unroot the phone. I was told do not accept OTA updates and wait for the rom.

Is there a difference. The beauty of Android is that the great devs on this forum with custom roms include updates to the OS.

At least that is my understanding. Am I off base?
[Acer Iconia A500] SmittyRN:
My card is FAT32. I can see the card via Astrofile, I just have no option to save things to it via any apps. I'll live with it for now, hopefully some custom ROMs will be coming along soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bboy486:
Not sure the thickness bothers me. I am planning on carrying a portable HDD with my media so the Weight is not too much of a concern. Otherwise I would just get an iPad2.

Isn't moboplayer the same thing as rock player?
