[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
There's no such thing as "pure white", at least not on a typical consumer screen without calibration? on the iP4 whites are blue (7500K), and on the galaxy S / Nexus One they were even more blue (9000K), maybe they tried to get things right on the SGS2, and in comparison it appears yelow-ish.

I know when I bought a calibrator for my computer screen I was disappointed at first because it made the colors look yellow, and the blue tones are usually more pleasing to the eye. But once you're used to the proper colors it's actually much better because you can see more details in the shaded tones. Besides, you get used to the color temperature on your screen pretty fast so it's not really a problem (When I use my Nexus One and look at my PC monitor it looks yellow, and when I use my computer and look at my phone it looks blue, but in a couple minutes I reajust myself and I think it looks just fine.)

Also, on a phone I don't really care if the colors are acurate since I don't look at many photographs on my phone and very rarely watch movies. The most important thing for me is to have a good contrast ratio so I can see the UIs and texts clearly.

whoever wants to compare screens, just play back this simple low resolution youtube video on both screens side by side :)

it is only 240p but it looks STUNNING on SGS2 with its perfect blacks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popophobia:
Not sure if this is the right forum, but I recently took a picture on the plane with Nexus One, unfortunately the picture looks horrible (seems like the sensor does not give a consistent brightness, causing the picture to have some strange artifact).

Anyone know how I can salvage this picture? And how to prevent this from happening again in the future?

Here's the pix

Hello

On our auction portal someone sells Galaxy S. He says, it was ok, but after unsuccessfull flashing it stopped working. After switching on it shows only "logo". Is it destroyed or should I buy it and use some tools to flash new system?

My experiences starts and ends with flashing custom Rom´s to Touch HD. Will I be capable of repairing it? It is very cheap, so I would buy it if it is so...

Thank you

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thddragon85:
I tried doing a quick search but didn't find the answer.

So I'm on cm7 7.0.2.

I want to do nightlies, but i'm not sure if that means I have to flash partition, cache, and dalvek?

If thats true, then that means i'm doing an equivalent to a factory reset right (obviously not factory, but settings wipe and apps gone, etc...)?

For that matter, what is the appropriate way to run nightlies?

Titanium batch then RM backup, then flash everything and restore only titanium batch or restore RM backup too?

I've read through some other forums and there seems to be a mixed bag of answers...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
The following was all found on the nightlies thread...

Just do the backup ("nandroid") using either recovery or ROM Manager (make sure to use version 3.0.2.6+ of recovery).

Then you can either flash the nightly using ROM Manager (don't need gapps then once downloaded, only select to wipe dalvik-cache NOTHING else and DON'T partition anything) or download the ROM, CONFIRM MD5HASH MATCHES and flash in recovery. Again, wipe Dalvik-cache (found in advanced menu) ONLY.

As you are not wiping data you won't lose anything. But the backup is done just in case something goes wrong.

If it does and you flashed via ROM Manager proceed as per recovery method.

Start with the most recent. Update them every time a new comes out. If something breaks resort to previous working version.

REMEMBER that these are EXPERIMENTAL and you MUST assume they ARE broken.

Read the thread every day, understand the risks, absorb everything mentioned and well done for trying it; I'm not keen myself.

I know this has been beat to death, but of all the threads I've read the past few days one thing hasn't been clear to me. Is it hardware preventing AT&T from accessing 3G on the HD7 making it impossible for a way to ever make it work? I want to know because my friend on T-Mobile will buy this one from me and I'll just wait until the HD7S comes out. If not I'll hold on to this one a while longer. Thanks in advance :-)

Should I have flashed though Rom manager?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Where are you checking your version? In settings > about phone, under mod version, it should say cyanogenmod nightly and the date it was released. It doesn't actually say what number nightly it is.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdroid921:
Yeah that's how I am checking it. I should have been clear, it says I am on 0505 which is not #67.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
It's not? It was released yesterday on the fifth...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdroid921:
It says 5/6 on CM nightly site. I wish they would show which version your on from within the rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Just checked the site and you're right. However, ROM Manager has it listed on the fifth. I think it's safe to say that this is the correct one.

If it didn't flash correctly, clockwork would give you an error as opposed to staying the same ROM.

[EVO 4G General] hgelpke:
Hey guys,

I was hoping I could tap your brains for some EVO knowledge. I've been rocking CM7 for awhile now and love it. The only "problem" seems to be how it handles the 4g connection. It seems like it will either use 4g OR 3g and if I turn on 4g but there is no coverage (or it drops out) it does not immediately default to 3g. I know on Sense roms that when 4g stopped, 3g kicked in. Has anybody else seen this?
[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
I find 4G on CM7 more unstable than on sense when I use it. It's hard to keep a connection and seems to take longer to connect. One of the reasons I recently switched back to a sense rom.
[EVO 4G General] Quick2822:
I've actually experienced the opposite.

I could barely use 4G on any Sense ROM. It would spike my CPU at 100% (even after full wipes), it would disconnect and take forever to reconnect.

Since moving to CM7, 4G connections really quick and usually stays established with no problems.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
i use cm7 and when i lose 4g my 3g automatically kicks in and my device uses that. i recommend updating to cm 7.0.3.1 they use the updated google 4g codes
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
Where are you reading that they updated 4G codes? Their changelog only says they changed a notifications bug and also a security hole.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
They updated the code but I just realized it's only on the nightly. There is a problem with the nightly where mms wont download, so if mms is important, don't flash it yet
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
That's going to be in 7.1.

I've found WiMax on CM7 to be about the same as on Sense, which is to say it's flaky on both. I don't think it's really the phone or the ROM's fault. Sprint/Clear just hasn't built a strong enough 4G network to provide a good experience. Any time it constantly has to switch back and forth (which is going to be the case with the high frequencies they're running at and insufficient power or tower density to compensate), the experience won't be very satisfying.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
I 100% agree and feel the same way

[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
i think it's pretty expected that two unpaid coders won't make as good of a code than a multi-billion/million/lotta$$$ corp can. amazing work either way though. that said, try one of the cm7.1 nightlys (any #60+ nightly, not counting stable 7.0.3, that's still 2.3.3) as the new android 2.3.4 has google's own 4g wimax coding in it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
I think I found an easier way to enable trackball/pad wake again!

1. connect your phone to your pc and open a cmd window

2. execute the following commands:

adb shell

stop

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/

cp settings.db settings.bak

sqlite3 settings.db "insert into system (name,value) values ('trackball_wake_screen',1);"

start

3. thats it, if you want to disable it again do the same again but instead of

sqlite3 settings.db "insert into system (name,value) values ('trackball_wake_screen',1);"

use

sqlite3 settings.db "insert into system (name,value) values ('trackball_wake_screen',0);"

I have found a way to enable trackpad wake on MIUI Roms again! It's a little tricky but it works perfectly.

Things you need:

SQLite Database Browser -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/

Follow these steps exactly:

1. connect your phone to your computer and open a cmd prompt

2. type in the terminal:

cd %USERPROFILE%\desktop
adb shell stop
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

3. extract SQLite Database Browser somewhere and start it

4. open your settings.db with SQLite Database Browser (you'll find it on your desktop)

5. Change to "Browse Data" and select the system table

6. add a "New Record"

7. doubleclick the name filed of the new record and write

trackball_wake_screen

inside. Click Apply Changes!

8. doubleclick the value field of trackball_wake_screen and write

1

inside. Click Apply Changes!

9. Save the file (maybe you want to make a backup of the original file before this point ;))

10. last step is to copy the file back to your phone:

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
adb shell start

Now trackpad wake should work again.

without adb

Can you do it without using adb, eg. with root explorer on the phone ?

(I am using MIUI on my google N1)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
I guess not since android has to be stoped to make this change. (stop command is to shut down android)

But why don't you just enable trackball wake in the settings menu? The Nexus One had always the option for it. The settings app checked the device name and if it wasn't passion (N1) or bravo (Desire) the trackball wake option didn't show up.

So Desire Z (vision) lost trackpad wake. Thats why I was looking for a way to enable it again. But since a few releases this isn't needed anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slim_thumb:
Sorry I looked at the settings menu (under "hardware key setting"), there is no such option.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
Goto Settings - System - Button Settings - Trackball wake

I can't belive that this doesn't exist on the Nexus One.

works for me

This method worked for me on my HTC Droid Incredible running MIUI 2.11.9. I actually used File Explorer in Android:

1. copied settings.db

2. uploaded it to my PC

3. used SQLite to edit it

4. copied it back to phone

5. backed up settings.db

6. pasted the new file in

Restarted phone and trackball wakes it up now.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
HI [MENTION=4916310]The Prince1[/MENTION]

more than likely this is an issue with adb not being full set up on your pc, feel free to look through THIS GUIDE to set up adb and fastboot on your pc

once working the commands given here should work without a hitch.

I'm not sure why root explorer isn't able to find your files, using root explorer should to do this should work fine, If you want to do it with this method let me know and i can help, but adb shell is the best way for this in my opinion,

the next best way, for me anyway, would be with a terminal emulator on your phone (download the one by jack p from the play store - free) then follow the same steps, but this is much easier to execute on a pc

if you need some more help i would suggest to go HERE and feel free to ask me any further questions if you get stumped

happy flashing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Prince1:
Thank you very much for your reply,

The root explorer is able to see and copy adb files, and that's what I did, I copied the file to sd card, but the problem was with my pc that cant show those files in my sd card!

Could you please tell me how to do it using root explorer, or terminal emulator?

Thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Well this is a good opportunity to learn adb, its rather easy actually. What PC are you using, Linux? Win? 7? 8? Xp?

Have you ever got adb or fastboot working in the past? If not I'll help you set it up and run the commands, doesn't take long
