http://antondnagy.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/how-to-tell-if-your-htc-desire-has-slcd-or-amoled-screen/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] din89pm:
This is how I test if my desire was amoled or SLCD. Firstly we must understand one of the amoled's feature which is "True black". This means the black color displayed on screen is extremely strong.

So, go to your room at night and switch off your lights. Click on settings page. You should see like as if the white texts are floating on air with a slight tinge of your hand's figure. Since the settings page, applications menu page is pure black, the blackness must be strong enough that it will blend in with pitch dark.

On SLCD however, its a different story. If you try SLCD with the above scenario, you can see a back ground lighting effect. You cant miss it. And the black color is not as strong as AMOLED's. Colors on AMOLED are more vibrant and strong compared to SLCD. However on SLCD, pictures look sharper because pixels are more dense per dot.

There is a youtube video that demonstrates exactly what I explained above. Placing two HTC desire (one AMOLED , and one SLCD) side by side for comparison. Search in youtube for AMOLED vs SLCD OR place "d5daNfccSiA" on the youtube link replacing the text after ?v=

Thanks for the answers...

I don't have the box and I don't have the screen of the phone! It was cracked and the last user removed it and dropped it to the trash.

Is there any way to know with only the serial number or manofacture date?

Best Regards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] din89pm:
Yes there is, if your device is manufactured before 27 July 2010, and if you did not purchase it as 2nd hand but from a retail store.. it is most likely that your device is AMOLED.

Read HTC announcement : here. HTC stopped using AMOLED in their phones and was announced on 27th July 2010. However it will take some time for retail stores to finish their old AMOLED stocks before selling the newer SLCD stocks. You can estimate from here...

Hope this helps answer your question :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Put a drop of water on the screen to magnify the pixels. If you can see pink "teeth" around the edges of the pixels then your display is AMOLED. These are what cause the AMOLED screens to have a pink-ish hue to them.

Perhaps a noob question. How do i get 3D wiev in Google Maps? I cannot see any 3D buildings I dont know whats wrong.

"Sorry, search is Temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 20-30 minutes."
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
I believe that requires multitouch, and we have dualtouch. However, SE Brazil has just released a statement saying the official Gingerbread update will bring Multitouch, including allowing 3D in google maps.

Go to a city where 3D is available. NYC is a good choice. Then just zoom in a good deal and swype downwards on the map with 2 fingers, so you get it in the tilted view. Then the buildings start to pop up
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtblittlebrown:
You can see it and view 3d its just difficult with our buggy dualtouch

I recently switched from Vegan GE to CM7, so that I could use netflix (which works well, by the way). Now hulu won't allow my tablet to play videos even after I downloaded the new hacked version of 10.3
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Did you remember to switch your user agent in the browser to desktop?

Also if your using the recent cm7 port for 1.2 bl it has add removal built in. It will play hulu but after it shows a message about bandwidth. It will cycle for about a minute and then play the whole show without adds. If you wait a bit at the start it means no adds later. Just makes you think its not going to play at first.

Well guys, it's been a blast. I will always love the dedication that the developers put into this old tank of a phone. Its time for me to move on. The tilt2 will slays have a place in my heart. On the plus side, now that my tilt2 is not my primary phone anymore I can use it as an ubuntu webserver or something along those lines. Heck, I can even try nand builds of xdandroid.

Well guys, im off to the x2 forums

You need to DL the whole rom, first backup your apps with something like titanium...Then goto CWM and wipe everything, its recommended by evil.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
Not only recommended, the install process automatically wipes data and cache.

I want to find a weather radar widget that works nicely with the NC. Any advice?

Right now, I have Weatherbug Elite, but it's radar widget won't stretch very big, and when you click on it, it's just a little map that comes up, anyway. I want something that I can make into a larger widget or something.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] irisclara:
Rainy Days. There's no temp or forecast, just fullscreen radar with pinch-to-zoom. It gets data from weather services all over the world so you can even watch it rain in China.

I just realized you're asking about a widget. This is an app. Oops! I mean, it's a really good app but it's not a widget. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] flu13:
Might still be worth checking out. Thanks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Etrick:
Id love a good widget too. Rainy days is the best I've found but no widget.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rvpals:
If you guys really like this app and would like an widget, simply send some comments to the developers. You would be surprise how responsive the Android developers are. :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rvpals:
I mean, comments you send via email to the developer's email (you can find the email from market app detail screen). Because popular apps always have a lot of comments on review (listed on app detail screen), developers prefers email comment.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] deadbot1:
This...I actually had an email conversation with the man behind rainy days...great guy and was open to the widget idea. Send him feedback and I'm sure he will be all over it.

Edit...don't be mad at him if he releases it as a bonus in a paid version...programmers have to drink beer too......
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tamen:
Hi,

Cyanogen comes with a flashlight app called "torch" that has a "high brightness" function - and it's *ridiculously* bright - brighter by miles than the htc one even on highest settings. But the APK crashes on ARHD (and from what I can see, all sense roms), and the app it's based on from the market, the "Nexus One Torch" does turn it on, but it flashes every 2s or so and turns the screen off, so you can only turn it off by taking the battery out (or as I was at the computer, adb reboot)

So is there a working high power torch app for sense roms?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Nexus torch works for me, you just have to press where the on button was. Exactly the same place. Although mine flashes too.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] edie209:
I am moving to Australia from the UK and want to know what ROM you recommend
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
Any rom you like should be fine. But maybe the modem will have an effect. I used JPE for a while qith good results. And JVO and JVP at the moment. But others here will know much better than me.

Possibly, if you end up on our Telstra network and if your phone is able to use the correct band, you may need a specific one to access their Next G network. I think it may be the JL2 modem.

Actually, I don't know if all the Galaxy phones have the frequency available to use on that network. I think it's 850mhz. Maybe someone else could let me know if they all have the ability to use it, but have to have the right modem to use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ryyuu:
I am currently using JVP with the ZSJPG modem. I have found that the JPg modem gives me great battery life with good reception too. :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amiperetz@gmail.com:
you can choose any rom

the only diffrent is in the battry life and the modem that you can

change.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Shanakin:
You probably don't need to change anything. If you choose telstra as your carrier then you may need to flash an 850 compatible modem.

Also if you don't wish to enter the APN manually you could flash a CSC which includes Australian details.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Trinnity66:
I am personally running stock JVP 2.3.4 with XSA CSC. Nice and fast with brilliant battery life. The XSA CSC is also pre-configured for ALL Australian service providers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] poyda69:
I have used Juwe's and Criskelo both JVO and JVP without any problems.

My wife is using Simply Honey 3.6.1 and loves it, with no FC and great battery and Signal.

I would recommend all of them for Battery, signal and sound quality.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] edie209:
thanks for all the replies so it looks like I don't need to worry too much then.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Most roms and modems from 2.1 onwards work quite well here in Sydney.

Currently on Symply GS2 and have amazing reception and 3g speeds.

GPS is great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
Only thing to add is that you shouldn't count on 850 access even with a new modem file.

I just moved from UK to NZ and was told my UK phone wouldn't support 850 from a hardware perspective. Don't know if that its true as I've never tried it, but check your phone before choosing that provider! The rest of the providers, all use 900 etc should be fine without any new files.

I ended up keeping my UK Galaxy S on the stock UK firmware (they get released quicker anyway!) and manually typed in the apn settings for my provider. (I just avoided the provider here that used 850.)

Hope this helps. Good luck with the move.

Now is this the 5" screen version or the 15" tablet that transform into a 5" screen Super AMOLEd Qhd Screen phone when needed? I'm holding out for the transforming tablet myself.

Just because I head the straight phone version only has a 245mp Camera, but with so so sensors. but the tablet has 4 zillion MP camera but no one is sure about the sensors yet. But I'm sure it'll be better because it has more MP's.

Hello,

The majority of Reviews have been completely vapid. What seems so strange to me is that much like 3D HDTVs, where the vast majority of what is displayed and available is in 2D yet AV Reviewers do not bash these TV's based on the 3D experience.

I consider the 3D aspect to simply be a value added feature. With far more horsepower under the hood than the 4G and the same Sense 3.0 that got almost unanimous raves when the Sensation was Reviewed seems to be a complete afterthought to many of these Reviewers.

It is also strange that almost every Review took place in the NYC Metro Area which makes it difficult to gauge how 3G and Cellular Reception is going to be elsewhere.

And finally, whereas the 4G got amazing word of mouth by being given away at a Google Developers Conference, the 3D appears to be just released to the usual cadre of Reviewers many of whom seemed to have an ax to grind.

Cheers,

JJ

[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:
Have you had a chance to try this phone for a day or more? If not, why do you think the reviewers have an ax to grind? Why do so many others think that they have an ax to grind? It's not like they all say that every HTC phone is junk. It's not like most of us have even had the phone in hand. I just don't get it....

For now, I'm going to have to go with the reviewers thoughts and check this phone out before I order.... I don't care about the 3D feature, but I've seen more then a reviewer say the call quality isn't there and for me, call quality is the #1 issue on a phone....after all it is a phone. My 2nd issue is the camera and it's not looking good from that aspect either. 3rd is the locked bootloader. If HTC didn't have such good build quality and support, I probably wouldn't want this phone so bad.... Damn you HTC!!!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadfraggle:
Specifically, what do I need to install on my gtab so that it can read an sdcard formatted to ext2?

I've already installed Clockworkmod and Vegan-Tab Ginger. Maybe I need a different kernel too? I know very little about kernels - Are they device specific? Are they interchangeable? Can I change the kernel without wiping my files?

Has anyone ever had success with ext2 on the gtab?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Nothing.

They have to be--that's their function after all.

They should be. For the gTablet, you can use either the Clemsyn or Pershoot kernels. Both have native extn support.

Yes.

ext2/3/4 are all natively supported by the linux kernel, and issuing a mount command will work if you do it on the command line. However, the automounter program, called vold, likes to have ext4 or VFAT (aka FAT32) filesystems on the SD card. If your ext2 formatted SD card is not automatically mounted, format it again as ext4.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadfraggle:
Formatted the sdcard to ext4, but still cannot read anything off it.

As for mounting through the terminal, if I use

fdisk -l

it shows nothing, not even an error. Is there another way to list disks so I know what to mount?

What I'm trying to do is use the Debian installer for Android, but the only version I could find is 2 years old. It's probably based on Lenny or earlier which does not have native ext4 support.

or

Also tried

My result:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk2p2 on /micro failed: No Such file or directory

Edit:

If I insert a ext2 formatted sdcard, I get a notice that it is being scanned for errors. It goes away after a minute or so.

If I go to /sdcard2 in Root Explorer, the folder is empty but the stats show a correct 2 gb of used space and the correct amount of free space.

(Also in Root Explorer, if I try to create a test file, it says 'successful' but no file is created.)

If someone here owns a gtab and can access a ext2/4 sdcard, please let me know what setup/Rom you are using. Or if you own an extra sdcard you can format to ext2, and use some other aftermarket ROM/different kernel on your gtab, please test and post your results.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The commands I gave were just examples, you'll have to adjust them to suit your system.

That looks like the correct behaviour. The external SD card is being fsck'd and then automounted.

This, again, is correct, except that on a newly created filesystem, Root Explorer should've shown a lost+found directory.

Reformat the filesystem again and try creating a file using the command line:

$ su
# echo test > /mnt/sdcard2/test.txt
# cat /mnt/sdcard2/test.txt
test
#

My external SD card is formatted as ext3 and I have no problem using Root Explorer. With other file managers, you'll have to be careful because of the standard Unix permissions that come into effect on all extn filesystems. If you want to use file managers other than Root Explorer, just create a new directory on your ext2 filesystem and give that directory a user of "system" and a group of "sdcard_rw", and give (at least) the group "rwx" permissions. Use the user, group and permissions of the /mnt/sdcard directory as a guide:

$ ls -ld /mnt/sdcard
d---rwxr-x 22 system sdcard_rw 8192 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/sdcard
$ su
# mkdir /mnt/sdcard2/user-dir
# chmod 0775 /mnt/sdcard2/user-dir [I]#or 0075 to exactly match /mnt/sdcard[/I]
# chown system.sdcard_rw /mnt/sdcard2/user-dir

If you don't want to bother with all this, just format the SD card as VFAT, and Android will automatically mount the VFAT filesystem with an owner of "system" and a group of "sdcard_rw". And since (all?) file managers belong to the "sdcard_rw" group, they get automatic read-write permissions to that filesystem. BTW, the Terminal Emulator app also belongs to the "sdcard_rw" group, so you can freely write onto VFAT formatted SD cards on the command line without resorting to the 'su' command (the example above).
