[Q] This auto-dim "bug" is completely unacceptable...and is driving me beserk

Basically, if I turn autodim off and turn the brightness up over 50%, the screen shuts off and when I press power to wake, flashes for 1/10 of a second and then turns off. The only way I can use my tablet with brightness over 50% is when it is plugged in.

How has this not been fixed yet? It's got to be a software issue right? This is completely and totally ridiculous.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Putzy:
I don't have this problem. I use it at 75-100% most of the time on battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chief85:
I have zero idea what it could possibly be. I'm on the verge of returning and just washing my hands of this thing. It's a shame because the Galaxy Tab will definitely be at a higher price point.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richie P:

I get that people can get frustrated when something's wrong but the store should always be the first point of call if you've got a problem. If you get it exchanged and it still has an issue, THEN you get to post about it and complain. Even so, at least post in the right forum...

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrozowjj:
I should probably post this in the dev forum but I don't have enough posts. And I should probably search first but I'm in this panic mode of being cut off from having a phone so I'm terribly sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.

I was running CM7.0.0.RC4 and decided to upgrade to CM7.0.3 and since all the other updates have gone so extremely well I decide to do this while in my car on a drive.

So first thing I did was Nandroid backup.

Then I wiped the cache and the davlik cache because that's been my recipe for success. Not thinking I also wiped the data/system stuff. Then I installed the CM7 update from a zip file.

I didn't realize what I did until I booted the thing and came up on a screen with none of my icons on it.

So I went into the reboot recovery screen and tried to do a Nandroid recovery but when I did that I just get the HTC screen staring back at me they pops up before anything else and it never seems to go anywhere else. I had to pull the battery to reboot it.

Am I doing the backup wrong? Does the Nandroid ISO have all my settings, programs, etc on it? If it doesn't I might as well do a fresh start.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
When you do a Nandroid restore it should restore your data and system partitions as well (including your apps and settings).

When you do the restore, does it give you an error?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrozowjj:
First off thank you for the reply.

I didn't see an error so I just did another restore to check.

1 error message pops up and it says

"sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restor of /sd-ext"

When I reboot I get the same thing, it hangs on HTC screen and never goes beyond that.

It's ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
This is normal if you don't have an ext partition on your SD card (for apps2sd or simple2ext support).

It's certainly strange. My suggestion is this:

1) Boot into Clockworkmod

2) Wipe data/factory reset

3) Wipe cache partition

4) Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache

5) Partitions menu > format system

6) Install Cyanogenmod zip from sdcard

7) Install Google Apps zip from sdcard

8) Nandroid > Advanced restore > Restore data (don't restore the other things)

9) Reboot

Good luck.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrozowjj:
Oh that's brilliant. I'll try that.

I've done a install of the CM7 and teh google tools and it started downloading all the apps that I had stored on the SD card so the only think I think I lost was some settings and my text messages but I'll try that anyway just to see if it will work. I have all my settings just the way I want them.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrozowjj:
So I tried that and it didn't seem to do any better. None of my text messages were saved. I had to redownload all my apps again.

Now my SD card is almost full which doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless somehow the old versions of the programs are still on the SD card in which case if they are how to I clear that space up?

The other thing is while reinstalling some of the apps failed and I cleared the notification list because it was too long to sort through them all but now I can't figure out which apps weren't installed correctly. Can I bring up that error list again?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
When you make Nandroid backups, it saves everything on your SD card under the clockworkmod folder. Each backup is saved by the date (GMT) when you did the backup. On a smaller SD card (like the one the phone comes with) even a few of those backups can eat up your SD card space quickly, so you should just go in and delete the ones you don't need from that folder.

When you did the Nandroid backup and Nandroid restore, did you go into ROM Manager to get to Clockworkmod? If so, you should try doing it the proper way -- turn the phone off completely, then use volume down + power to get to Clockworkmod. In general I would avoid using ROM Manager on an S-ON device like the Aria.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtnlion:
Also make sure the USB cable is not plugged in. it makes clockwork act crazy.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrozowjj:
I've been doing the restore from the Clockwordmod bootloader menu. Turns out I made a backup of ADW settings and the desktop settings so I'm right back to where I was before the install just in a more round about way.

I am using the SD card that came with it but I'm thinking I might go get a larger one now. Is there any easy way to get all my apps onto the new card? Will just coping the content work?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
If your current SD card doesn't have an ext partition on it (i.e., you didn't repartition it), then you can simply copy the entire contents over from the old card to the new card. It's as simple as that.

Pulled this from another site. This is an app created by a 15 year old French kid. It may be of some interest.

Hi !

GaospLight for Gingerbread Gaosp online !

After some coding time (and catch head) I have a small program to show you! It is software running under Windows only (sorry for the others ...) who can create your own Roma Gaosp.

This software can add and delete applications of the rom flashable Gaosp. The tool provides a list of checkboxes that allow you to integrate applications,GAPPS are included. You can replace the orignal Launcher (ADW Launcer) by LauncherPro. It will download the GAPPS (orignal version) and the latest version of Gaosp then will integrate your changes into an flashable archive.

As a video presentation is often better than a long speech I've made a little video which shows the software in action:

http://batchdhelus.open-web.fr/programme/GaospLight/GaospLight.html

I planned, if it is possible to integrate the possibility of rooter the Galaxy. The software is in French but also in English (in fact it puts the language depending on the language of the OS)

Download: http://batchdhelus.open-web.fr/programme/GaospLight/GaospLight.exe

Caution: Some antivirus software can detect as malware. This is totally false, and due to the UPX compression to compile the software

Note: The translation of program of french to english is may be not exact because i'm a french teenager (15 years old). Sorry, and if you can help me to have a better translation it's would be great... The program will automatically update itself if a higher version available

I await your comments.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabrinified:
I put my phone into manual recovery mode via Clockwork because I flashed a Cyanogen Nightly and didn't like it... I was going to go back to my Darky v10 ROM (which was draining my battery like a biyotch, hence the Cyanogen install)

My phone's now stuck; it turns off and on again, only getting as far as the Samsung Galaxy splash screen :(

This has happened before but I just popped into into recovery (via the 3 buttons) and reflashed the Darky zip.

Now I can only get it into download (which is useless to me because I don't have access to a PC)

I don't mind losing everything or going back to stock... I just want my phone to turn on :(

What are my options? Please help?

[HTC Inspire 4G] dkwelton:
Somebody help please.... i just got my inspire yesterday and i wanted a custom ringtone and notification so i used ringdroid to make them. But as soon as i turn the device off theyre gone. Whats the problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
not sure why its disappearing, but after you create them in Ringdroid, make sure its been saved to (using Astro or any file manager) sdcard\media\audio\ringtones (or notification if you made a notification).

If its saving in that directory, but not showing in your options - or not saving to that directory...then I'd try uninstalling Ringdroid and re-installing.

Another option would be just to download Zedge from the market and see if they have what your looking for...its an app with thousands of Ringtones, Wallpapers and Notification sounds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dkwelton:
Thanks. But what i did that helped was to download a htc sense ringtone and then moving the ringtones into the same folder as the htc one. They are staying now

[HTC Sensation] apex84:
This is (or will be come June) my first experience with an android set. Now I've read that the codec support in Sensation is quite poor but I'm wondering if that support could be extended to include e.g. .mkv playback now that Sensation will (hopefully) be unlocked.
[HTC Sensation] nirvana2506:

second: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097503
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
Thanks! So the codec support depends on the media player like in PC OSs.

I'm also wondering if there's any possible "fix" for the quality of the photos taken with Sensation's camera. The photos I've seen aren't too bad but someone mentioned too high level of compression of the file which creates artifacts. Are there apps for the camera that will lower the compression level? The ones I've looked at on Android Market don't mention anything about compression. Or maybe it's a hardware limitation.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Welcome to android as well.

To be honest I am pretty new myself. The sensation when purchased, will be my first android smartphone. Had an Archos tablet for a few weeks before lending it to my sister 6 months ago lol...

Regarding the camera, I am not certain if we are talking about the same thing but they do seem similar. In the engadget review, they mentioned 'artifacts' where isolated areas of a picture were randomly soften or blurred. This is most likely due to software/settings that are processing the raw image before saving as pictures/files. With the recent HTC bootloader unlocking announcement, we should be able to see custom ROMs or even just single solution, fixes, tweaks, updates or whatever you want to call them to address issues like this. Or of course HTC can also fix the issue themselves.

Here is a link to the review if you need it

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Devany:
The Expansys web site describes the Flyer as having a "standard micro-USB" connector.

The Flyer I have just unboxed and put on charge came with a micro-USB connector which was different even from the usual, half-squared off, HTC connector. This one has a cut-away at the top and (in a different axis) at the bottom.

I tried one of my older HTC USB connectors (Athena, Hero), but it resisted and I didn't want to force the issue, so the Flyer is charging on the connector it came with.

But is this for real? Have HTC changed the "standard" micro-USB for something propriety?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bxsteez:
Yes and no. It is a proprietary connector but microUSB cables still fit in the device. I've charged from a PC already and it works fine, although its SUPER SLOW.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Devany:
/Linked images, hope they work./

A: Flyer "standard micro-USB", note the cut-away on the top.

B: standard micro-USB cable, note the straight top.

Plug B will not fit socket A.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bxsteez:
This is not a microUSB cable. It is a MiniUSB cable which is vastly different and does not fit in the flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Devany:
Thanks, but...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Usb_connectors.JPG

Not a one there has a cut-away.

Nice thing about standards... there are so many of them.

Also, tried Google/Images for "micro usb" and all the various mini and micro usb cables I have. Not one of them has this propitiatory shape.

Have you got a link to something authoritative?

PS: Cooks? What's wrong with cooks? Do you mean crooks?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bxsteez:
That is why I said yes and no. It is a propriatary connector that also allows for connection with microUSB. If you are familar with HTC devices many of their winmo devices had miniUSB Ext connectors which were propriatary but allowed for a regular miniusb connector to connect to it. That was before the microUSB standard was made.

The port/connector is desined to stop you using the mains charger with other devices as it would "fry" them! This is why you can use a micoUSB connector with the Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Devany:
Are you suggesting that if I used a micro to mini converter that I could fry the Flyer?

My issue is that I have several (proper, branded) HTC car chargers which have mini-usb connectors - which I used for the X7500/Athena.

A converter would mean I don't have to replace these chargers.

But the voltages would be the same, wouldn't they? USB current/voltages don't change depending on the cable... do they?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mikecoffee:
Hi

To buy a charger wouldn't cost much, but I use my gf blackberry charger on my dhd I thought it was battery that drew the charge.....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jah:
The Flyer white mains adaptor is designed to stop you using it with another device. But you can use a standard micro usb with the Flyer port. I hope this is clear.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
You can use normal chargers on the Flyer, it'll just be slower. That's why their power adapter is different and much more potent for faster charging. And as Jah says, if you were to use the Flyer's charger with a phone it would most likely fry it as the phone isn't designed to handle those power levels (ergo the different plug, making it impossible to connect the flyer's adapter to another, incompatible, device).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hoss_n2:
The flyer has 12pin micro usb not 5pin to be used for hdmi output same like the in the htc incredible and htc sensation
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] twisticles:
Meh...I've tried three different micro-USB cables including an HTC variant from my Mozart, and although they sort of fit, none seem to go in far enough to charge or sync. Weird.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
.

Need to get this sorted ASAP.

The reason the Flyer has a 'Unique' micro-USB socket is that the charger is

1.5 AMPS. (And is a HDMI output)

This provides enough current for heavy use and charge at the same time.

Do not expect a standard micro-USB to charge your Flyer if you are using it, it will infact drain the battery!

A standard micro-USB cable will charge your Flyer if it is connected to a minimum 1Amp plug charger overnight and the Flyer is not in use.

Do not expect a Flyer to charge from a 500mA PCLaptop USB socket whilst you are using it!

Remember guys, this is much bigger than a mobile phone and even some of them would not correctly charge from a PC/Laptop USB.

Use your mains charger to charge it every night (or as much as possible) to keep it from going below 20%.

Do not expect it to charge from the sync cable (until we get 3rd party dual usb source cables as for some DVD writer drives).

THEN you will keep the life in your battery. :D

Soz for the bold font but wanted to get the message across.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I've tried 3 or 4 different Micro-USB sync cables or chargers, and every one works. They plug in "upside-down" from how the plug goes into most Micro-USB devices that I am familiar with. Meaning, the spring-loaded prongs/teeth on the male plug should be facing down (if your Flyer is on a table, screen up), and you insert the male end in the lower "half" of the Flyer's port. Both sync and charge work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
A generic micro-usb will power and charge the Flyer. I use my laptop while traveling to accomplish this. When its charging, I'm usually not using it... I'm asleep.

Don't feel bad. I was making the same mistake, and don't know if I would have even figured it out, if I hadn't come on here and read about it. I didn't want to force it, or do anything that might damage the port, so I don't know if I would have thought to turn it upside-down on my own.
