did i just see a 4" NON PENTILE Screen on the Moto XT882?!

Ririal, do you think it will fit?

EDIT: false alarm. seems like pentile although.. not mentioned anywhere..
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Ririal:
No, it's not a big deal. Anyone who whines about it is just looking for something to complain about. They're the type of people who ask restaurants to turn the AC up in the summertime.

Fitment isn't the issue. You can't just replace the display, the entire device is built around the hardware. You'd have to build a new display SPECIFICALLY for the Atrix, from scratch.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] p0xer:
i know what u mean, cable arrangements.. etc..

well, if it'll be working, ill figure out the rest

so ill be in touch with Moto China soon and we'll see if its not a pentile one.

and its not a big deal, and i'm not whining about it.. i'm just trying to find a better screen and hoping to find one.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dLo GSR:
it's not just cable arrangements. it's hardware. a pentile matrix is run by a different LCD driver than a standard LCD. that driver is most likely soldered straight into the phoneboard or baked into the processor. at that, the connectors for the two types of screens are probably different as well.

honestly you're going to get nothing but disappointment and frustration. these are not honda civics, you can't plug-and-play between phones willy nilly. i'm an MSEE and i would love a non-pentile LCD as much as you, but it's in all likelihood impossible.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] p0xer:
you're absolutely right..

i just finished a phone call with a costumer service representative from Motorola China..

she didn't understood any of what i've asked on the regarding the display on the Moto XT882..

because she barely understand English and i've tried my best to make it easier & simpler for her

and yet, it didn't work.. she was very patient and nice but still.. it was a total waste of 25 minutes.

and although it was a total fail.. i think it was worth trying ;)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] thegregulator:
I think if this is your biggest gripe with the Atrix you'll be fine. I've noticed the screen a bit, but for the most part it's been great. Like you said, the colours aren't quite as pretty as the Galaxy S phones, but there's something about those screens that irks me too. Overall, I've been very satisfied with the Atrix screen, and the higher resolution is also a plus.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] p0xer:
i just a replay from Motorola..

seems like they don't have any information about a product they manufacture

that's ridiculous. pathetic.. etc.. ARGH@!!@#!#
[Atrix 4G Accessories] binary110:
You realize you're asking questions that are engineer-level to a basic customer service rep... thats like expecting the guy at best buy to know the intricates of every pc they sell. They're only people. And they have more than 1 phone product.

I honestly think peoples expectations are far too high these days, I have an Atrix. I know about the Pentile. I didn't when i bought it, but i can't change it, and i won't return it. No one in a developer forum, should expect a customer service person to know more about their devices than themselves. In fact, just knowing how to get here, puts you one up on 99% of all people.

I find that other 4" android phones have far too large of text on them after using my atrix. lol.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] p0xer:
binary110,

i agree its just a customer service rep, but they had the time.. they could forward it to an engineer-level person that would answer it..

i didn't push them.. i just asked.. during the phone call i had with them, i've asked the representative for an email address so i can explain what Pentile Matrix is, and so i did.

I've provided images that would explain what the Pentile Matrix is and whats the difference between it to a full stripe rgb.

so, with that being said.. i think we have no lead as of now,

if there will be any development in the matter, ill keep you guys updated.

:)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dLo GSR:
From an engineer's point of view, you are NOT the customer. The customer is AT&T, and AT&T orders the phones. The engineer designs one phone for mass production to a carrier. Unless the carrier demands changes to the product they are purchasing (and in turn re-selling to YOU, making you AT&T's customer), they are not going to listen to one person's gripes on their design.

They are not going to patch you through to an engineer. The engineers to not deal with CSR-related issues. They are paid to design the phones, and most likely the LCD is not an in-house design but rather a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) product from another company, purchased and dropped into the phone.

You have to face reality. No one at the company CARES that you don't like the Pentile, and no one will help you or do anything for you to replace it with a non-pentile LCD. Why? Because it DOES NOT EXIST for our phone. No CSR is going to know anything about what you're asking them; they are there to deal with customers have REAL issues, like warranty replacements, basic software tech support, etc.

I'm trying to be nice but the idea you have, and the things you're going about to try and achieve it, are both pointless. You have to accept the screen, get over it, or go buy a different phone. Period.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] p0xer:
dude.. u just missed the point

read again the whole conversation, i was speaking to Motorola China regarding XT 882.

it doesn't matter who the customer is, its a principle!

i give my clients service with excellence, and i'm expecting to get nothing less.

even if i need to forward it, ask other peoples advice, people that know much more than i do,

ill will give my clients the best service i can.

PERIOD.

there's no point of saying what i've said again.. there's no lead, there's no screen.. there's no anything now. if something will come up.. ill update.

i was trying to improve but im not going to chase it till the end of the world.. its just a 600$ gadget.. there's bunch of these at the market..
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dLo GSR:
Which is why I wrote the first two paragraphs. You are not their client, The carriers are their client. You are a consumer who buys products that they made, but are re-sold by a carrier. You are not their #1, the carriers are. They couldn't care less about your principles or who you think they should be serving, their business model does not revolve around pleasing individual customers, or giving them access to their engineers. Asking them to let you speak to an engineer, as someone who does not purchase their products as a direct customer, is just silly and no company will simply let you speak to an engineer.

I'm an engineer. If I had every secondary customer trying to contact me on projects I work on that don't pertain to my actual primary customer, I would be pissed off. Engineers do not want to deal with those people, it's not my or their job to.

I am looking for the fastest ROM, and hopefully customizable. Right now im on cyanogenmod 7 and i am going really slow, i dont know why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Slow?

Try wiping /data, /dalvik, /system, /cache, /boot.

Then reflashing it.

Sometimes a fresh install is just what the doctor ordered.
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
What Matty said. A quick wipe of dalvik/cache always works. As far as roms, try kushdecks rom in the dev section, with the v6 supercharger. Freakin love this thing :)

Optimized Sense(From HTC Evo 4G builds) Froyo will be faster than gingerbread aosp, especially if you clean out all the bloatware(pretty much anything with HTC and Sprint in the app title, and other stuff).

Netarchy 4.3.4 CFS nohavs sub nosbc.My battery life is superb considering the usage I've gotten out of the 16 hrs 18 minutes with 5% battery left. 5hrs 10 minutes display-on time and an hour of plants vs zombie, and a few phone calls and texts, and BeejiveIM on 3G the ENTIRE time. No GPS, no 4G, no BT, just 3G radio used. This is right after a batterystats wipe at 100% charge.

from what i know amss_phone has the phone's radio.So you will need the amss of your country/carrier.(I was wrong I guess :) ).

Can you achieve root in recovery mode ?

If yes I can flash Clockworkmod recovery .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831725&page=2
[Android] splattx_x:
radio seems promising since kernel doesn't :( unfortunately I don't have and haven't found anywhere Odin files for i5510L. But a fellow member of XDA kraka23 was smarter than me and has dumps of all the partitions on his phone. Do you have an idea which partition could be radio.img? If so, I could ask him for it.

On the recovery side, I have no clue... sorry. I don't even know how to check if I have root in recovery, but I'm willing to learn and help... if you are patient with me.
[Android] karandpr:
I wouldnt do that .

One wrong move and you could blow off your phone.

Yes flashing partition is dangerous cos there have been instances where people blew off the download/recovery mode.

:)
[Android] splattx_x:
Thanks for the heads up! That sucks then because Odin files for my original rom are nowhere to be found :(

Update: I restored as many apps that I could find that seemed related to GPS from my Ti backup but didn't work either... I'm starting to feel hopeless here. I just hope they get the samsung box soon in the service bc it's looking like my only hope... well that or gettin' insurance for it and then making it "sleep with the fishes" (won't actually do that of course)

NEW Perhaps replacing system.rfs from original rom into KD4 pda and then reflashing could shed some light whether it's app related or not... is it too dangerous for the phone to do this?
[Android] karandpr:
Well I dont think it will help.

If the radio is in amss file ,how will replacing system.rfs help ?

It wont be dangerous via odin.

Using dd to replace parts is risky and currently we have only 4-5 motivated people losing one will be 20 p.c. damage to the work force .:).

Well the care centre in ur area.Be chummy with the dude who is inside .You might be able to wrestle the four files when they receive the "kit".

Edit 1 : I was reading disclaimers on samfirmware and they said that replacing cross continent firmwares may result in loss of 3G connections
[Android] splattx_x:
Yes I knew there was a chance to mess up 3G but I thought it would be fixable... and it doesn't matter that much to me. But the GPS loss is really weird. I reflashed the firmware to rule out an odd flashing error but it still doesn't work...

I meant flashing a system.rfs to see if Apps were the problem. If I do get radio.img somehow and merge it with KD4 rom and flash with Odin, would that be safer?
[Android] karandpr:
GPS is a kind of radio.

I dont think so radio.img will help .You will require CM recovery and it doesnt work on samsung phones.
[Android] kraka23:
Yeessssssssssssssssssssss!!!!! I Fixxx the GPSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Same problem that splattx_x1!. I lost the GPS after flash the KD4 rom...

Here the solution:

This is amss_phone from I5510TVJKD1 brasilian rom!!!!. I came to test with brasilian radio and Eureka!!!! the GPS is back!

I hope I can help if some Latin American countries. I'm from Argentina;)

Cheers!!!!!

EDIT: I forget the instructions!!

Flash this file with Odin. JUST ONLY THIS FILE (amss_phone)

In the PHONE buttom in Odin, select the "amss_phone_brasil.tar" file an flash it!. I repeat ... ONLY THIS FILE!!

Hi splattx_x,

Sorry for my badly english. My question is about the entire package from I5510TVJKD1 ROM.

PDA, PHONE, CSC.

I´m from Brazil, and having problems with this device. My screen is unresponsive when in charger and freezing. =/

I already tried update or change another version. But now I want revert to Original combination, like new. My original version was I5510TVJKD1

You talk about part (amms) from this version, i think you have entire package.

Thanks for you support.

Ok. Go to the link in my previous post and there's a software to download official ROMS try to see if you can find it there. Still wrong topic since this was only GPS related

Amazing how you fixed this, it tried it too but i couldnt do it. Is your phone rooted?. I also first updated the firmware to gingerbread 2.3.6, and after it, gps never works.

BAMF 1.7. Great rom and wonderful battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] YankInDaSouth:
+1 for das BAMF 1.7 ... Running the remix version and have been very pleased!
[Thunderbolt General] mrjinglesusa:
Ditto. I have not had a single issue running this ROM (full wipe install after reverting from Das BAMF 2.0).

Not sure what you mean by "solid reasons". This ROM is rock solid (no reboots, no FCs, etc.), fast, gets good battery life, looks great, etc.
[Thunderbolt General] concept0:
BAMF Remix 1.6.3 was running great for me. I loved CM7 but was missing phone calls when I had service.

Now I'm on BAMF Stripped 1.7. For being Froyo and Sense-based, it's a beautiful ROM. Simple and you can flash the AOSP contacts/dialer after flashing the ROM to strip even more of the Sense elements.
[Thunderbolt General] cmhfdisker:
I've settled on PlainJane as my daily driver, selectively debloated using the free Super Manager app. I enjoy the stock sense experience. I tried running Das BAMF but I cant get past the font issue in gmail (unread mail looks exactly the same as read mail). That issue by itself is a deal breaker for an otherwise fantastic ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] Fadingintofall:
I'm using das bamf 1.7 and I don't have that issue. My gmail read mail is not bold, and it is shaded. Or is it unshaded? Either way, very different. Have never seen that issue with any bamf. Hmm
[Thunderbolt General] cmhfdisker:
Well that's good news. Perhaps this was only an issue with 1.6.3 or maybe it was something unique to my phone. Either way, you've given me the perfect excuse to try 1.7!

On a related note, I spend WAY too much time screwing around with the TB. It's easily the best gadget I've ever owned.
[Thunderbolt General] kallyjk:
Tried pretty much all of them. I settled for the latest rooted RUU. The only one so far that data doesn't drop all the time on. Battery lasts me better. I removed some of the bloated, but stock otherwise.

[HTC Inspire 4G] AudioMaster13:
HTC is not yet a member of the MHL group. MHL ius the standard that the Infuse uses with its adapter. while the Inspire usses the 5 pin micro usb, the device does not have the protocols to output to such a device. Also, pin 4 is usually not used, floats, is ignored, or is device specifically used. this is due to the fact that USB is a 4 pin layout. the MHL adapter requires the use of all 5 pins and thus, the device must be able to know what to do with the extra pin

I understand why with carrier-locked phones, the updates take longer to be released.

I don't understand why unlocked phones in Europe, with the same hardware, don't receive the same firmware updates at the same time.

It's unacceptable that Samsung released long-time ago the gingerbread update for the nordic countries, some time ago released for the UK and for Belgium, and other European countries will apparently wait for another week or month or year to get the update.

Samsung should release the updates for their unlocked phones at the same time. Other manufacturers and platforms are able to do that without any problems...

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] CosmicVagabond:
I'm running TnTlite and can use playon, a program on my PC to send netflix to my Gtab. It works well.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Ronyx:
I tried it, but you have to be at home since it streams from your own networks, also the subscription is like 5 dollars monthly and when i tried it i couln't even fast forward. Just my 2 cents though.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] CosmicVagabond:
You may want to try it again because you can access it from any wifi connection. And it only cost me 40 for a year and 20 a year after. I know it works because I watched a netflix movie in my local park last weekend.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] GGGTABBB!:
Thanks for the suggestion, but it has been recommended several times already in different threads. I'm running vegan-tab and patiently waiting for a person smarter than me to figure out how to get this working. Can I afford Playon? Sure, but you know what's better than paying for something? Free! So I'll be patient awhile longer.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] EL TEJANO:
Your local park has an open wifi source? Nice indeed.

That being said have you managed to get it to work over 3G?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] KJannot:
Are you using your own wifi while sitting in your local park? 'cause that's how I've seen it work--got Playon on my computer and can access it with the Playon on my GTab, so long as my computer is connected to the same network. The Playon on the GTab detects any Playon clients running on the network, and streams from them.

BTW, a monthly subscription is not necessary, if you pay a one-time fee for the software, I believe. At least, that was true when I bought it a while ago.

But still, it's not free, that's true--and now it IS possible to stream Netflix directly.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gpzjack:
Or flash cm7
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] CosmicVagabond:
No, it's free Wi-fi in downtown Raleigh, NC. There is a tab in in the setup menu that allows you to configure Playon for remote access. I haven't tried 36 as my GTab doesn't have it. Here is the process as listed in Playon's user guide. It assumes you have Playon running and set up on your pc and connected to a Wi-Fi network:

• Setting up your Android device

 Download the PlayOn Mobile app from the Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.playon.playonapp

 While PlayOn is running on your PC, open the app on your device. Make sure that you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your PC.

 Next, you must “pair” your device with your PC. On the first screen of the app, you should see your copy of PlayOn listed — it will have the same name as your PC. Select your PC and a menu of PlayOn channels should appear. Now that your device is “paired” with your PlayOn PC, you should now be able to watch PlayOn anywhere, either over Wi-Fi or 3G.

The Playon app is readily available. IT was a simple process and works consistently for me.

Yea, you hafta pay for Playon but it is worth it to me.
