[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
The kernel with that rom is a custom kernel and key layout is designed in the rom for it only. If you've done the back up and don't have haptic that's very odd as haptic is now native to Samsung GB. I suggest re-flashing the kernel by using sgs kernel flasher and choose the rom zip as the kernel. It will auto extract only the kernel.

Other than that you can reflash the rom by simply flashing cf-root 3.2 and then use cwm app to flash the rom. It wont do a wipe this time because the new script will auto detect that you already have 3.5 so all your settings and apps will remain intact.
[Vibrant General] joseph050607:
Thanks explodingboy..... ill try that one bro...if i flash the rom do i just flash it as an update.zip? One more thing before i forgot.... You and your simplyhoney rom are the best........
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Yeah flash as update.
[Vibrant General] joseph050607:
i did flash the rom thru cwm app. and went back to stock.got the home haptic back. but when i flash the chainfire cf3.2 root kernel by sgs kernel flasher. trying to get cwm to changed themes.lost my hone button haptic. thinking its likem that cause i flash a different kernel. after using cwm use sgs again flash the stock kernel cmenard kernel. phone looks good but haptic feedback to my home button is not working.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donverse:
Hi,

so I am finally at that point where I'm about to jump off a bridge.

My beloved HTC Desire has got weird problems and I really have no more idea, what I can do.

So here's the problem:

Sometimes (turning screen off sometimes helps), my phone registers an input (at a certain horizontal line, I will clarify that later) when I'm actually not touching that zone at all.

So (if you have the keyboard open), it always thinks it is touched at a horizontal line which is about there, where the 'a' is on the qwerty-keyboard. (I have a swiping keyboard on my phone, that always gives a nice blue line from 'a' to 'l'...).

The really weird thing about that is, that I don't actually have to TOUCH the screen. I can move that blue line on my keyboard (or change homescreens for that matter) while I am about 1-2 cm ABOVE the screen and I DON'T EVEN TOUCH IT. That really drives me crazy, as I don't even know whether that's physically possible...

That behaviour is totally random, sometimes I don't see it for 1-2 days, sometimes it won't go away for a couple hours.

Additionally, sometimes the Screen won't recognize my touches at all (only at lockscreen, turning on and off helps).

So I tried restoring various Nandroid backups from when I didn't have that problem, I tried flashing a new radio, a new rom, data, factory etc. wipe and nothing helps.

Pulling the battery when it's off and leaving it off for about 10min also won't help.

If you don't understand what I'm trying to say (I know it's difficult and I appreciate any efforts to help) I will try to record a video of it.

It is also difficult returning the phone as that failure is not reproducible.

I am running MIUI 1.5.20 on my S-OFF'ed HTC Desire with SLCD Screen.

I would be so thankful for any help,

Don
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Maybe just an issue with the screen in general. You ever throught about contacting HTC or your carrier? See if getting a new screen would be better and stop these problems. Just be prepared to use an RUU though.

thanks Meaple,

anyone else got an idea?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rawfa:
Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (feel free to move it, mods). Is there a way to stop the mount/unmount sound on the Atrix? It's the most annoying thing in the world having to hear this cursed sound each time I start or shut down the phone, each time I plug the usb cable on my computer...arg...the humanity!

Anyway, help is most welcome

thanks

hi i used my xperia play this morning to make a few phones call after an hour i could feel the battery getting hot in my pocket, checked phone it was turned off i tried to turn it on it vibrated and it went to sony ericsson screen and its just sitting there now, i have rooted the phone 2 days ago using gingerbreak , have i bricked the phone?, or is it something to do with battery
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
From what i understand you cannot brick the phone from rooting. Since all you are doing is gaining admin rights. Did you possibly uninstall something you shouldnt have after rooting? Did you follow the safe apps to remove thread?

Maybe the battery is not in properly? Try taking the battery out leave it for 5-10 mins. Then place it back into phone and replace the cover firmly. Without turning the phone on put it on charge for an hour or so then try turning it back on.
[Xperia Play General] murt1050:
hi thanks for the respone i am no where near my charger, so i will try that when i go home thanks,does the phone turn on if its bricked or what happens
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
I think if it is bricked when you power on the phone it will vibrate then nothing. But yours is going to the se screen. Not sure tbh since i have not seen a bricked phone.

Dont suppose you nice folks could give us the make/models of any Bluetooth gamepads that you have got working or have found to not work on honeycomb 3.1. I only know the datel one but I'm looking for a more ergonomic PC pad

Thanks in advance
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
There really aren't any blue tooth gamepads
[Xoom Accessories] gqstatus0685:
I would rename the thread to: Compatible Bluetooth Gaming Accessories. You'll probably get more views and get it eventually stickied.

I do remember a bluetoooth gaming pad from Pelican.
[Xoom Accessories] MrGinger:
Had a bit of a look into it and you're right, all the Bluetooth stuff seems to be for ps3. Fingers crossed Logitech will do a controller aswell as the keyboard and mouse they're about to bring out!

Thanks for the advice
[Xoom Accessories] MrGinger:
Is this the one gqstatus?

http://mobile.buy.com/ibuy/Product.aspx?loc=108&sku=202486404

Wonder if anyones tried it with a xoom?
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
i suppose that would work. Looks kinda awful though.
[Xoom Accessories] gqstatus0685:
Yes that's the one. I remember seeing it at Radioshack or Gamestop. Try eBay and see I'm pretty sure there are more. I'm willing to bet eBay has a couple from China.
[Xoom Accessories] gqstatus0685:
I found this on eBay. It's a bluetooth DualShock controller. I don't know if it's a knockoff but it could be despite having the PlayStation Logo in the middle.

http://bit.ly/mOEEav

That's the link for the bid. I would imagine that works. I wish someone on here has tried this before. I want to know if you're able to map all the keys without issues.
[Xoom Accessories] wiesman2613:
I found on amazon the komodo shockwave wireless wii controller.. wonder if this would work...??
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
It will not work. PS3 controllers require being synced up via USB. On the xoom, it would require that and an app. There is no sync button on PS3 controllers.
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
That is a gamecube controller aimed for a Wii market. It will not work.
[Xoom Accessories] MaluNoPeleke:
Why isn't it possible on Android?

It even works without extra applications on Maemo: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66704 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41693

At least Honeycomb 3.1 should be able to detect it or is there another problem?
[Xoom Accessories] eganraC:
this is intresting, would like to use a bt controller on the xoom soon, flirting with that ebay one. Wii looks like the best bet
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
For bluetooth, it would require an app or script to change the mac address of the bluetooth in your xoom to that of the ps3 controller.
[Xoom Accessories] MaluNoPeleke:
I think you could do that on a PC as a workaround...
[Xoom Accessories] MarionCobretti:
i dont understand? i know sometimes you want more buttons or a different grip design, but the wii controller works great for all the 8bit/16bit games i play. at least it gets you going with a BT controller.

http://android.ccpcreations.com/wiicontroller/wc-compatibility
[Xoom Accessories] MaluNoPeleke:
But the Wii controller isn't good to hold for oldschool games (without motion).

[General Questions and Answers] suxelexus:
G'day everyone reading this. I've been in the market for a new mobile for quit sometime now, and tomorrow I'm finally committing myself to a nice little plan for 24month which includes a $0 handset. Yes its time to ditch the HTC Blackstone Touch HD. It was good phone, but lately I want to smash it against a wall.

I've narrowed my choices down to 2 phones...the Samsung Galaxy S and the Xperia X10 with android 2.1...before you ask, "what the hell are you thinking with this choice," let me tell you, its the best avail on this particular plan--I can't talk myself, (or my wife for that matter) into spending tons more on a plan thats not nearly as good in value, for a better/top of the range handset. Unfortunately.

Now from my research the main disappointment with the X10 is the stock 2.1 android (which can be flashed to froyo or gingerbread i think) and of course that plastic screen.

As far a capabilities, correct me if I'm wrong but its running the same hardware as the new HTC incredible S which runs beautifully straight out of the box.

I like the dedicated camera button, camera performance, and overall design of the handset.

Now the Galaxy...well, a lot of great reviews, awesome screen, cool interface,beautiful handset, plain and simple. My main disappointment has to be no flash and 'plasticy, elcheapo back cover.

What do you guys think? I come to xda for advice because its you guys know ur phones and I've gotten alot of valuable info from this site!.Much appreciation in advance!!!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Piron:
For several days I have a problem in the sense that one of the people can not connect to my phone. After dialing you receive a message that the connection can not be realized.

I do not use any program from the "black list ". After inserting the card into another phone it works. As you can see the problem is in the X5. I tried to upload other dialers, removed and re-entered the contact, however, is still on the phone the caller's message appears. Does anyone know what could cause this situation?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:

You mention sdcard and a bunch of stuff but you need to let us know WHAT connection you cant initialize.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a high pitched buzz/whine/noise from their wall charger when it is plugged in and charging, it only seems to happen when the phone is also plugged into it, the screen turned off and the phone is fully charged, however it is really annoying to sleep near/in the same room with.

I was at first convinced it was the power converter that I am using (being in Australia with an imported Atrix) but after trying a new one the problem still persists.

Any advice? thanks in advance

- DarkRyoushii
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
Some old chargers I had did that. Not my atrix.

Its cause of a capacitor in it not working like it should. (Your phone will be ok). I had a netgear router do this to me and it was horrible... on all the time! I feel your pain.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
I would replace the charger as it is not working as intended and could be a huge fire risk!

Never, ever think about whether a noise coming from an electric power supply is good. If it's making noise, you have components not working properly.

Just because someone says the noise is alright, and they have experienced it before, DOES NOT make it good! I am not trying to be a drama queen here. It's fine to say that until you have to attend an investigation into someone dying by burning!

Also, to blindly say it is a capacitor is just plain stupid!

People die because of poorly assembled/poor quality electrical equipment. Please take whatever measures you can to ensure all your equipment meets regulations, and works correctly!

I never said it wasn't a fire risk :p

[Galaxy S II General] matanc1:
I've noticed that the device is pretty hot. I'm not sure, which is why I want to verify this with you.

I've used the "Battery Indicator" app which shows that the temp is 34-37 Celsius.

Does that seem about right?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
yep that's perfectly normal : )
[Galaxy S II General] matanc1:
Really? Cause it always feels hot in my hand....

Could it be that I'm just hot (cause the weather here is hot as well)?

What would be too hot ( I mean what temperature ).

I've had the phone restart itself twice yesterday after getting too hot (don't know the temp it was at though)
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
34-37c is absolutely normal. Its quite cold where I am atm, and the battery is 37c.

You've also no idea that the phone restarted due to heat. I've gone through 5 replacements now for various reasons, and they all got pretty warm under use. However one of them got stupidly hot, so hot you couldn't even hold onto it without hurting your hand. Thats why I got that one replaced.

And yes, if the ambient temperature is hot, it'll make the phone feel hotter aswell.

None of my GSII's have ever restarted on their own though. Could've been due to an app/widget though.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
There has been 2-3 threads on this, one of which I created myself.

It's normal for the device to get quite hot, especially around the camera at the back and the screen near the top of the phone when gaming or watching videos over wifi. It shouldn't get so hot it can't be held though. It also doesn't help if you have a case on the phone, especially a thick gel-type one. I'm currently looking for a thin perforated cover, like the official Samsung one, but unlike that one with protection for the top and the bottom of the device. I suspect these holes will help with heat dissipation.

The phone has inbuilt safety for overheating I believe, although mine has never gotten hot enough to activate it. The phone will shut down if it thinks any more heat will lead to damage.
[Galaxy S II General] matanc1:
Thanks!

Was just about to ask about the case, since I bought a black gel one.

So do any of you know of a case that won't affect the heat ( a lot )?

I am honestly afraid to walk with the device without a case so that I don't break the screen (or scratch it) or break the phone in half (it looks so delicate!)
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Like I said, the perforated covers look the best for preventing heat build up, although the official Samsung case doesn't protect the top or bottom corners, which perversely are the most likely parts to be damaged if the phone is dropped. I'd like to get hold of a cover that looks like that but with all round protection.
[Galaxy S II General] randa73:
But, is it also "normal" that the phone gets incredibly hot when you play music with headphones on?

I seem to have experienced all the issues everybody went through (except for the shutdown) but nobody ever mentioned music (i am talking about 3 minutes playback not hours!)

Anybody with the same issue?
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
Take the back case off and smell near the top left of the phone..

When mine got hot a weird smell came from it.
[Galaxy S II General] shawnfr:
It's probably worth checking with something like osmonitor that you haven't got a stuck task.

A few times mine has got really hot and it was a process using 96% cpu...

Most recently it was SocialHub which I don't even use! Had to reboot the phone to stop it as it wouldn't die.
[Galaxy S II General] revaz:
I also had extremal heating in that area while playing angrybirds and after I move app from SDcard to internal memory - All comes OK. So I suppose it is because your apps ar data (music etc) located on SD and some of them due to speed limits heats during work. (it is in addition to WiFi and other network activity). Cause when I plug SD into comp by adapter and perform long file framsfer it also heats
[Galaxy S II General] silverwolf0:
So is this thing hotter than the original Galaxy S? I can live with the phone at that temp, but any higher is questionable.
[Galaxy S II General] PhxkinMassacre:
It will shut down if it gets to hot. And I guess it takes quite a bit because a few months ago on engadget.com I saw some video of an iPhone a palm phone and I think a nexus one on a grill to see which one will either break or shut down first. And after like a minute on a grill it finally shut off. So I wouldn't worry about it unless its so hot u can't hold it. Once with my evo I was using 4g GPS Bluetooth. And charging the phone and it got up to around 115° (around 46° in celcius) and was fine. I shut it down tho when I noticed it got that high tho haha :P
[Galaxy S II General] Ken_xda:
Mine (running XWKE7) went to 50 c when gaming "we rule" in game hub with charger plugged in. No external SD installed though.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Also keep in mind that fatter phones have more space to dissipate the heat. This phone is thin thin. That heat has to go somewhere! That's why I want a case that vents :)

as soon as I start playing "real football 11" i can essentially cook an egg on the phone. Other games are fine though
[Galaxy S II General] Ken_xda:
Could it be due to the installation of overclocking apps? Didn't notice it was this hot during my first few days of usage.
[Galaxy S II General] don nico:
In the first few days after I got my SGS II the phone went really very hot every time I charged it or when I played a game or even when I watched a movie.

Since I use Lite'ning Rom and banned some system apps the problem vanished.

So for me it seems to be a software-sided problem.

Mine gets hot too, for instance when playing angry birds (only game I had the time to play). The heat zone seems to be right under the camera/flash.

I also ordered a gel case prior to noticing the heat issue, and now I'm starting to think whether to put it on or not. Would putting on add the possibility of physical damage to the phone, despite the auto-turn-off feature? (which as I understand didn't really manifest to anyone yet).

And second question - did someone identify a case with ventilation and that also protects properly?
