[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhlragnarok:
Main question: is the light sensor always on even if I turn off the "automatic brightness" in Display settings?

If the answer is no, I might have to reconsider the usage about light sensor lock.

(I thought the sensor is working at all time, so add the light sensor lock would not draing the battery faster)
[G Tablet General] Kocrachon:
So I was wondering, I have my Gtab using CM7, and I am trying to watch a view HD episodes that are in mkv format using vplayer which I bought the unlocker for. I am running into an issue with the Audio. The video players great and all, but there is no audio.

Should I look into a different kernel, or is there a way to upgrade or download some audio codecs for the gtab?
[G Tablet General] katlimaal:
Did you try audio with plugging earphones. If the audio comes there then , remove the earphones the audio will come from gtab speakers also. There seem to some issue with CM 7.03 (it happens at every boot).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProCision:
I have my Evo in one hand and a buddys evo in the other. Both have wifi off, I launch speedtest app on both, on mine I get 900+ download speed, on his 126 is his max. I updated all the radios. He is running myns warm rls 5 with htc#15 kernel. I am running cm7.

Could he have a hardware problem? I have tried everything I know to try.

**EDIT**

Downloaded signal strength widget and he is only getting 1x not ev(3g)

going to update with the msl # and try that.....

**EDIT**

Set it to auto and still not going into 3g, staying at 1x.

So how do I get the phone to go into 3g?

**EDIT**

Now in 3g

did this again, I didnt commit the changes. He is not getting 1000+ up and 987 down.

How to fix
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waqasr:
Sorry for noob question but for some reason I am unable to add

Ringer off widget to my home or any other screens. I tried to create

one but did not find an option of doing so thn i downloaded SilentOnOff widget

but when i click on my home page and thn click add thn widgets, it does not show

me SilentOnOff widget any where So please let me know what to do. All i need is

shortcut or a widget to turn ringer on or off with one click so if you have any

other suggestions please do let me know.

Thank you in advance.

I am using CM7.03 on sprint htc hero.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Did you install it to the SD card? Or why not just set one of the power control buttons in the pulldown for ringer on/off? Or just long press the power button and turn it on/off there.

Thank you for prompt reply.

I only see option for to make a button for Ringer toggle to Vibrate but not

silent and when i long pressed on power button the silent mode it gives me

is vibrate mode not ringer off mode, I have just double checked.

A good fellow from cynogenmod website "VsCDMAHero" helped me

with that.

I cannot format my data on the Nook Color with 1.2 installed. I tried formatting system and data and it will format system but it gives me an error when attempting to format data. I have tried to install Phiremod 6.2 and it just keeps booting over and over again. I tried to load Phiremod 6.0 and the same thing and I tried going back to original Nook color 1.01 software and it is booting over and over again. Any ideas?:confused:

Yeah.....It's a known and heavily discussed topic. A quick scan of threads over the last week and you'll find lots of information about how Barnes & Noble reapartioned the devices starting in May.

i have the problem. can some1 guide me to the solution?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
ok, im getting the onslaught of crappy G2 refurbs, so im considering a new device and the only 2 i will consider is the G2x (might have to pay full retail for it) or another MT4G (already had one, would hate to get another because i already had it but tmo will substitute it for free)

im conflicted with leaving the G2 because it has a keyboard, and overall my biggest issue, but a 4incher may not be too bad, and for that ill have to try out for myself to see if it is suitable.

as for other things, this is where i have questions:

from 4 different internet reviews like cnet, engadget, etc all said battery life in stock form exceeded their expectations by lasting a whole day under medium heavy use, so im just wondering if others are getting the same basic battery life

how is the speaker for ringers on this device? the G2 speaker sounds like some cheap 80's walkman. its not a deal killer, but i would like to know if its better. hard to demo since i dont use stock ringers so i wont have a way to really compare.

screen response, i have read the screen is really sensitive, the G2 screen is not horrid but not impressive either....the MT4G is a lot more sensitive compared to the G2, and going from the MT4G to a G2 is probably what spoiled me on the screen sensitivity. can anyone throw some input on this or confirm that the reviews are accurate?

call quality....this seems to be the number one con on this phone according to reviews online....can someone throw in their 2 cents on this? this is concerning me the most as the G2 call quality is very good, the MT4G call quality was ok but the G2 i found was a lot better.

outdoor screen visibility. this is the other big deal breaker...the G2 in daylight just plain sucks...period. its practically useless even on full brightness, this is the number one reason that will make it easier for me to sacrifice the physical keyboard.

also, after reading this thread, i have some major concerns about the rebooting and freezing and overheating...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081180 are newer built devices doing better than the original release shipments?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ScooterG:
G2 with CM7 has very impressive battery life...crushes the G2x.

G2 speaker sounds like my old handheld 1984 green football game with 4 blinking red lights. The G2x sounds like a 2000's walkman, it's serviceable The iPod touch sounds much better...

Screen sensitivity is awesome on the G2x. I never had a problem with the G2, but it's improved here.

No issues with call quality on the G2x for me. My only issue has been with data reception...it's worse than my Nexus S...and I can't get the thing to tether worth a damn. My laptop connects to the hotspot, but never gets internet.

Outdoor screen visibility is unmatched on the G2x.

No reboot/freeze issues here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
pretty much spot on... only extra remark i will make is the battery is that i am almost certain battery life will improve once we get an OTA update including new battery and radio drivers, something is a little off or wonky about them...

assuming you know what you are doing, you should be able to get 20-30 hours of light to moderate use no problem... i got 36 hours of light use on one charge switching between wifi and 4g depending where i was at...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I am lucky to see 12 hour day on stock battery on my G2 running cm7. On my extended battery tho it was awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Can you Explain your data issues please? I only use wifi at home, cell elsewhere while I'm out. I don't use that hotspot crap. Is it poor reception or just a delayed or slow ping response?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ScooterG:
Hotspot crap? And yes, from what I can tell, it's poor reception.

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Yea hotspot crap lol. Bad reception is not a good thing. I may hold off because of that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JPinkston:
I tether my Xoom to my G2X with absolutely no problem. If the wifi network is even relatively slow, the hotspot is usually a better option for me. Although the device does get a little warm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Lg at least from a verizon standpoint was always good and solid and reliable, which a reason why I was considering the g2x....I read about a lot of negative stuff about the g2x and not in a way where I have to search either...I can't seem to find proper specs on the screen tho on what type it is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
800x480 ips panel. I don't know how many colors it is able to display though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
How does an ips panel compare to an amoled or super amoled etc?

I checked it out in the store its not too bad, but data was not provisioned on the device so I couldn't try it out. General signal seemed identical side by side when looking at the signal meter.

Audio was a night and day difference

Typing seemed ok, but I think I have a mental block with the physical keyboard.

I'm on the edge with it, and when I asked the sales person about problems he seemed shaky but did say it reset a lot and a simple battery pull would fix that until it does it again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
First off, i bought this because it was a $1 at the time while i was getting some cases and a other stuff on the off chance it would work. I've actually had it for a month and just barely decided to put it on today to check it out.

some stuff on this site can be pretty low quality. but anyways... I put this (making sure the part that says upside with arrow is pointing up) under my battery to the left of the white sticker with the serial numbers for my phone. and i made sure not to touch the sticky back except just on the edge. i used the cardboard that came with to smooth it down onto plastic.

now this seemed to maybe add a bar or less but that isn't what i liked. it definitely helped my phone from dropping from 4g to 2g constantly from low signal in my house. and in my house I almost NEVER can stay on 4g, we have a lot of electronics in our house plus we need another cell tower out here in Salt Lake (West Jordan) in my area or something. but my phone signal has only dropped down below 4g one time and went from 1-2 bars, sometimes 3 bars to 2-3, usually 3 bars consistently all day since i put it on this morning. this can't be a coincidence because i know my house and this is my 5th g2x and also my last vibrant all had a bad signal dropping problem. so try it out if you want, the promo code CELL7 is posted saying 7% off too. but try CELLSHOP or look for it on a page (they post promo codes in weird places) cuz i think thats what i typed in before and they gave me free shipping which saved me a couple bucks more.

im interested to see if this works for others. like i said though it more stopped my signal from jumping around than really adding a bunch of bars or anything. but for a buck its cool with me :)

the ad honestly looks like a bunch of B.S. but if anyone ends up buying it let me know if you have similar results.

could be that the battery isnt touching the back of phone as much now so less static or something causing interference?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Phat7:
Now that we have Android on our HD2's, can I uninstall Activesync completely from my computer? Or does Android or HD2 need Activesync in any way to be present on PC?

Thanks for any insights. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Activesync provides the drivers you need when flashing a recovery partition in CWM .

So, if you intend to flash new ROMS via magldr, you need to keep it on your PC .

If you don't want it to load up in XP on every startup, go to "run"> msconfig > startup and uncheck it(wcescomm). Then when you need it again, go to start> programs and start it up again.

:)

P.S. nice avatar

lol yeah. well im going to say that it doesnt seem to help a much after having it for a bit.. its a little better but i actually have noticed a better improvement by keeping my account 1.0 and wifi calling installed and unfrozen. Signal seems to jump around less. but at the cost of some battery.... not sure which is more significant for me. its bull**** that if i drive down the road a little i get full bars with 4g but in my house/neighborhood i get 1-3 bars
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
How can an antenna work if it isn't physically connected to the board? These things are just a rip off.

Yeah, it's a scam, they don't work. I remember reading an article about them somewhere ages ago.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Not necessarily...sometimes I need to tether at work (absolutely no data signal better than a couple bars of 2G). I grab a metal colander from the kitchen, loop my phone over the top, and point it toward the nearest tower...viola...2 to 3 bars of 4G. I know that wasn't really your point...but...

The colander thing works if you don't mind the crazy looks that come with it...I kinda enjoy 'em. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I agree a colander will work because, just like wifi, cellular is radial vs directional.

If you make wifi or cellular directional by ways of a pringles can or a metal colander, that is one thing. But a ball of wires next to your phone won't do anything, which essentially is what that antenna sticker is, just a coil of wire.

They really are a rip off. Mind over matter I guess. If you "feel" it works then it is worth a dollar (which is a ripoff in itself since they can be had for $.25/free)

[Nook Color Accessories] chadrockey:
This is just the transformer. It's not anything electrically to be concerned about. If it really bothers you, ask them to do an exchange.

Mine only does it is the Nook is not plugged in.

It should buzz at the 60Hz from your electricity. It's just the transformer producing magnetic fields and vibrating slightly.

Hi everyone

The thing I want to do is add my own language (for viewing and texting only) to the xxjk1 firmware

I have my own region files so I can copy files from it to the xxjk1 firmware

Does anyone know how can I do it?

(Is it possible after all ?)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] baza14:
By the way, you can flash JK1 firmware with CSC from your region (with your own language). But it must be CSC from any other firmware of Bada 1.2...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] roostaamir:
Have you tried it your self?

Is it ok to flash xxjd1 with a kc1 csc file from another region?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] baza14:
Yes, I often use it.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] roostaamir:
Thank you very much for the tip.

Now does anybody know the answer of the first question I asked?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
thats totally wrong:(

just tried with XXJID and took CSC from JPKC1 and guess what happened

lost Arabic language:(

please find a way to fix it
[Bada Software and Hacking General] baza14:
I don't undestand what is wrong... I use it many times and it was working. As I said If you going to flash Bada 1.2 firmware, CSC is must be from other Bada 1.2 firmware.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] roostaamir:
Both firmwares are 1.2. so according to what u said it should work

But looks like it didn't work

Which two regions and firmwares are you yourself(baza 14) using?

Thanks for participating
[Bada Software and Hacking General] baza14:
For example I flashed FW JK1 with CSC from JL1 (XD region).
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Oh you mean all from Europe??

i just flashed JK1 to make sure that it doesn't support Arabic too

@roostaamir

give it a try maybe it will work for you

i'll wait for ho1od until he succeeds in QMD Compression tools maybe it will fix that problem
[Bada Software and Hacking General] roostaamir:
Sorry but i don't have my wave in my own hands right now(it has a long story)

But if you can test this and share the results,I would be thanful:

Flash your phone with xxjid and the parts of jp firmware which have open arabic.each time with one of the jp files.(i mean first flash the factory-fs from the jp firmware and other parts from xxjid.then do this with pfs .... and so on)

Please tell me when will the arabic language will be in your phone.

(i mean which file caused the arabic language to be in your phone)

Thanks
