[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
There are some guys working on a fix for bricked phones (see the "lets save some bricks thread" in this forum).

However, if Samsung say it needs a new board then it doesn't sound too hopeful...

Equally, if it really did need a new board, I think you should be able to present a pretty good case for it being a Warranty repair... (Since these phones are so unbrickable)... Therefore it would be virtually impossible for the damage to have been caused by you... Unless you did something really stupid!

I'd keep an eye on the other thread as they may find a solution soon.

The other option would be to see if different Samsung Service Centre have you a different verdict! ;)

You have to use custom roms, go to the development thread and look for the n00bs guide to flashing. It will teach you how to put custom firmware and romantic on your phone, which is called rooting it, and is nescesarry if you want 2.2. I'd suggest TripNRaVeR 's1.4 froyo rom.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] MotorcycleMike:
I was wondering if anyone knows how to get a Bluetooth alarm app working on the Xoom? Something that connects the Xoom to my phone via Bluetooth and alerts me if the Xoom gets far enough away to lose the Bluetooth connection. I want to use something like 'StayCloseToMe' (in the Market) but I don't see a way to keep the Xoom connecteced to my phone. It doesn't stay connected to the phone like a headset would. Anyone know (or can write) an App that will do this? It would be great for keeping tabs on my Tab!

Hi,

I find what seems bugs on the gingerbread COS rom.

on the 20/05 build I did not receive SMS at all (but I could send them and they were received) .. no notification .. nothing in Messaging and when I got back to my rom I didn't receive them (so "lost" ?)

on the 22/05 build sms work but now I don't have the "status bar" at all (and also no notification bar).

- In ADW settings even if I untick "hide status bar" .. nothing

- I tried gestures to get the status bar or notification bar to appear .. but nothing

- I tried ADW settings resets and looking at settings around .. but nothing

On this second point, has anyone got any pointers ?

Tnx

[Epic 4G Accessories] saboater:
That's why I went with TheBoom originally. People couldn't tell I was in my Jeep! It works because the mic has to be less than 1 inch from the face. They don't have Bluetooth headsets that do that because its not "stylish". But people can hear and understand me in my car with the top down using it. The Jeep was too much because of the poor aerodynamics making wind hit the mic too much, but cleaner aerodynamics on regular convertibles work fine.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstm:
Hello all!

I wasn't sure if I could post this in the dev forum or not, so it went into q&a:

My question concerns the "high brightness" mode that is available on the 'Torch' app in CyanogenMod 7 ('nexus torch').

I have tried the app on a LeeDroid ROM and the phone starts acting weird whenever I tried to use the 'high brightness' functionality. I am currently using Android Revolution 5.1.7 and I am experiencing the same problem.

Define "weird"?

- the screen goes black

- the hardware buttons at the bottom stay illuminated and no longer respond (no vibration - and yes haptic feedback setting is on)

- the leds start flashing at the "high brightness" instead of burning without interruption

- both leds flash at the same time as if the "strobe" option was selected, but it was not

- the flashing is erratic (no fixed intervals)

- the power button and volume rockers no longer work

- you have to remove the battery in order to 'unblock' the phone

From extensive googling and searching the xda forums, I have learned it might be a problem with the driver controlling the leds (e.g. the module that CM7 uses to light them with the torch app is not the same as the module that ARHD5.1.7 or LeeDroid uses - or maybe it's not a module at all and it's just a different driver compiled into the kernel?). In any case the problem, and my question, remains:

[!] "high brightness" is not working on Android Revolution HD 5.1.7

[?] How could it be made to work? Using another kernel? Compiling the CM7 led-driver for the kernel used by ARHD5.1.7?

This question could be interpreted dev-wise (kernel modules, compiling, /proc something something modification, etc.) or "basic"-wise (use another app, use CM7 ;), "ask in the dev forums", etc.)... The choice is yours!

Thanks in advance!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,for me high brightness causes overheating problems.On CM7 and on LeeDroid's Froyo rom with power notification widget(yes,it supports high brightness) I had reboots when using it for about half a minute.So I think there is no point in using it as it will damage your hardware sooner or later.These LEDs overheat too easily! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstm:
Hmm, with CM7 I have never experienced issues with the high brightness function. Sure it gets hot, but only after a couple of minutes - which is already way more than I'm looking to use it for.

For me, on other roms than CM7, the phone just immediately stops working, not after half a minute or so, just 'click the button' and viola - remove battery required...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SummonerOfDeath:
Hi,

I've been playing around with various apps, mods, launchers etc. out here rescently, and was unable to flash some of them.

First thought was they might be incompatible with my device, but some out of hero forums aren't working as well.

some hardware info:

Device: HTC Hero [T-Mobile Google G2]

rooted: yes

ROM: Elelinux v 2.3 (based upon cyanogenmod v7)

recovery: latest clockworkmod avillable for hero, i think it's 2.5.0.7 (?)

Strange thing now is, if I try flashing some .zip via "flash .zip from sdcard" my phone doesn't seem to like, it first says "opening file... starting installation..." (or something like that, just the usual way) and then completely resets clockworkmod returning to starting page as if i just had rebooted into recovery. anyone had similar problems? or can help? would be glad about it as for now i can't use lots of wonderful mods the devs are working on :(

just for interest, has/ will hero get clockworkmod v3? hero CDMA already got it...

thanks in advance,

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0zmic:

Try with Amon Ra's recovery.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SummonerOfDeath:
Flashed for example Rover theme and extras for it. Was able to flash extras but not the theme. Weird. Wasn't able to flash some modded-to-look-like-senseUI-ADW-launcher too, always same strange behaviour like said above. As well, sometimes got the issue of successfully flashing zip files with no effect, means no changes.

Already tried amonra, no solution for me as it can't handle unsigned zip files and no special folders.

Thanks & greets,

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JieeHD:
For the problem of flashing zips with no changes, manually mount /system and flash again. This usually sorts it.

And for your other problems get me a recovery log and I'll have a look, you can find this by flashing your non-working file and then going to advanced and report error. That will save a log on to your SD-card under clockworkmod.

"10mp" camera?! HDR, sports mode, night vision, and more dual-camera possibilities!

It's obvious these aren't going to be included in the official ROM, but I'm sure there can be "an app for [some of] that" provided the API of both cameras are exposed. Exciting prospect, is it not? The only one of these that seems a bit hard to chew is of course the 10mp nonsense. At most the combined detail would just produce a "very nice" 5mp shot.

[HTC EVO 3D] curiousGeorge:

Anyway, I also think it would be neat to use the two cameras to offset an alarming trend in phone cameras -- low dynamic range. Both can fire simultaneously at different exposure settings, and combined into one HDR image.
[HTC EVO 3D] random1204:
I think what they mean by the horses, is that this is kinda crap.

It's already been known that when taking 2D pictures, it uses the top-most camera only. It uses only one. Only in 3D does it use both cameras.
[HTC EVO 3D] curiousGeorge:
Ah... gotcha. :) More than "kinda" crap, it's genuine crock, yes.

But I'm saying the ideas are so good -- the potential is there. With a system update from HTC, these can be almost trivially enabled. Otherwise, if the API for camera 2 is accessible, an app can be created to provide the remaining functionality.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
I think these are really cool ideas. I'm sure there will be some developer(s) out there who will develop apps to take full advantage of the 2 cameras, perhaps implementing some of the ideas you have suggested.
[HTC EVO 3D] curiousGeorge:
Cool! I just added a few more to the list, including some links and explanations of "how it could work." :)
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Yea, forget all the crap that everyone spews. Anything is possible, with the devs here on xda. As Mlin said, I'm sure there will some dev or a team of devs that will develop an app to take FULL advantage of the dual cams. Granted, I'm sure there will be plents of limits on what the cams are capable of, however, I'm sure that those limits will be pushed and that we'll eventually get max potential out of the cams.

Did anyone think we'd ever get Full HDMI mirroring working on the OG Evo?
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:

[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:

Nice.... Thank you. It's been a long time since I've had to search for something. Totally forgot what that even meant :p
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
You get an "A" for thinking so far outside the conventional box, but unfortunately I don't see any real possibility of any of that ever coming to pass, for one inescapable reason: the two cameras aren't shooting from the same location. Every concept you describe requires that both cameras see the same thing, and they don't, for the simple fact that the pictures they take are from two different physical locations.
[HTC EVO 3D] curiousGeorge:
Fixed-point location adjustment is trivial and can be performed in software/hardware with minimal effort (even perspective/angle adjustment via convolution-deconvolution of 3d signal matrix). Also, even if they weren't shooting from precisely the same location or perspective, the motion-compensated technique can be applied even to different frames in a video (making 'night shots' more doable), since the temporal element is the most tricky. If both cameras fire simultaneously, tracking synthetic "motion vectors" is utterly trivial.

Even if a developer was lazy and didn't want to implement perspective correction, a subset of the two pictures near the center (where they overlap) can be used for all of the rough work, and a simple guassian averaging function can perform the spreading (or simulated annealing) from that point.

No, location is certainly not a problem -- and even perspective is fairly easy to (accurately) account for via straightforward signal processing algorithms both in hardware and software.

I'm sure just about anything can be achieved... especially on rooted devices. Maybe a job for the folks at urbian? (retro Camera crew) vignette and photaf are pretty advanced too. If any of these things are even remotely possible the developers will end up making an app for it. What you can guarantee is that none of that stuff will be stock on the evo 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
location is EXACTLY the problem. you think HTC just randomly put these cameras where ever they wanted?

Lets just assume for action photo's yyou came up with some algorithm to get the cameras to take thee SAME photo, at the same angle ms apart, which is not possible but lets say it is. you know that and we will use the example of a car. it were set PERFECT for a car going 182 mph. any care going any speed other than 182 would not be the same right? or lets say it were some one running. in fact lets say you have devin hester returning a kick off. doesn't matter how fast you make those two cameras go something will be different for him to be at the same angle for each camera. the cameras are where they are so when combined they give depth. so they are meant not be able to take pictures that can over lap.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Given that the two cameras are set up specifically for stereoscopic operation--to (roughly) emulate the separation and angle of your eyes--they probably share most of their field of view.

The angle and separation are fixed. That can be accounted for and adjusted in software. I don't think this will ever be able to be used to increase visual quality however since that will introduce distortion from the type of skewing that will be necessary to have both pictures have the same POV and everything else....Not to mention stuff on the edges would have to be discarded....it wouldn't have 2 cameras covering that so whatever effect or enhancement you were going to attempt wouldn't work on the edges since each camera would be missing those parts. So now your combined and adjusted (and distorted) field of view is smaller... that's another drawback....

So, I think it will be possible to come up with some clever and creative uses for this....increasing visual acuity will not be one of them....though the first thing I thought of when I found out about the two cameras was HDR photos....which would have to deal with the distortion that would come from compensating both cameras to have an identical view and angle and have the smaller field of view to boot... but I think that could be done, even with those drawbacks.
