Is there anyway to lock the screen during a bluetooth call? If i am on a call and the phone is in my pocket it usually hangs up the call. And if I hit the power button to turn off the screen within seconds it comes back on. Is there an app or setting that will lock this screen?
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
save the following image as your lockscreen wallpape (notice the blue tooth ?? :D ) :

in all seriousness, after you lock the screen, wait a short time.. the proximity sensor will detect your hand in front of the screen and moving away so it turns the screen back on.. if you wait long enough after pressing the power button, it will stay dark (I believe)..

Hope this helps
[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
no thats not working. the proximity sensor doesnt work in bluetooth mode. And if i turn it off it will come back on.

On tasker I tried to set a profile so my data would turn on when i would open certain apps like weather and internet but it doesn't work
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
I'm not familiar with tasker, but I know with data intensive apps they usually give you option such as how the app updates itself. Options such as manual, or update every 1... 2... 4... or 6 hours. Why don't see if they offer you those settings?

Sorry if I'm not much help.
[HTC EVO 3D] .TeeJay.:
I shut all my apps to update only when I want them to yet I see my phone gathering data all the time
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
It could be because it is backing up stuff for your Google account.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Try Juice Defender Ultimate. It's paid but it would do what you're looking for; you can have data off and then configure apps that are allowed to use data.

Is there a way to tell what the aperature and sensor type of the camera is? I'm curious to see if it is the same camera sensor that is being used in the upcoming mytouch 4g slide.

So my phone has a few issues. I'm hoping somebody can tell me how to correct this.................

-when I plug a usb cable into it (whether from computer or power cord) The phone turns on (if it was powered off)

-my computer will not reconize the phone. I've tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers. My PC reconizes my android tablet just fine. I have installed all the android developer stuff (forgot what it's called). I've put my phone into download mode too... still does not reconize it. Yes, I've toggled USB debugging.

so because of all of this:

-I can't install the bonzi recovery

-I can't Odin

-I can't return to stock

Luckily I have CWM installed so I can flash zips

i have midnight 5.3 running fine and have no other problems. I'm just unable to now upgrade to 5.5 (because it can not be flashed via CWM..only by bonzi)

Anyone have any ideas? I think something has gone currupt on the phone. Or maybe I have a physical problem with the usb port?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Kodeen:
I believe this is by Samsung's design. Mine does the same thing.

Probably your usb cable, the Epic is a little sensitive to the quality of the cable, and the one they include is not great. Also, you could try a usb port that is directly attached to the motherboard, instead of a front panel usb port.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
this is sound advice, however, if everything is the same, and nothing has changed, and it used to work, then un-install all samsung drivers that you can think of and find, remove the android sdk, then go find and install PDAnet.. you don't need to use it, but install it. follow the instructions carefully, pick samsung and you will have guaranteed working drivers.

Hope this helps (and ditch the stock cord)
[Epic 4G General] Wishkah420:
I had the same problem, out of the box everything was grand a few months later my computer wouldn't reckognize my phone. I tried every port every driver and low and behold it was the POS usb cable. I bought a blackberry cable from the internet for about $5 its nice and thick and works like a charm every time. I still use the crappy cable at work to charge it but when I need a computer to see my phone the thicker cable works everytime.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
My computer recognized my phone just fine on EC05 but on Bonsai v5 it did not. I looked in Device manager at the USB ports and there was a Samsung Android listed there and when I examined it, it said no drivers installed. Could not understand that, and another Epic with the same ROM connected just fine. So hit update drivers and after 10 minutes I was connecting again...wierd. Try it.

My phone did the same thing. I just took it to the sprint store and they replaced it for me

explain please anyone?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardlr:
when you say: " only some files can" you mean you can play some files on the phone or the pc ?

if you can't play files in your computer that's probably a micro sd problem.... i also thought formating the microsd could be the solution... but looks like it is not (you tried it)..

i think x10 support only some 32gb microsd brand.... not all..

sorry man but don't know exactly what could be the problem...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Did you format to fat32 or ntfs? Android only supports fat32 I think...

i guess it's the faulty of the SD

cuz if i can play it on phone... i can play it on computer too

but with the files that faulty to read on phone.. when i plug in using sd-card reader, it can not play it also :)

oh well..
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] tweakradje:
Hi,

I am using this for a while now and I must say I haven't found any better yet.

It creates office 2011 compatible docs and has a very good pdf reader.

It is for samsung but maybe it runs on other machines too.

If you have rooted phone and some space left on /system you can push it to

/system/app instead of normal user (/data/app) install. Both work.

Cheers

[Xoom General] dspero:
Anyone else have issues with Maps consuming battery in standby? I've had my Xoom unplugged for ~22hrs now and had the screen on for 38 minutes. In battery stats it says 29% used by Maps (top of list) and 29% used by the screen. Battery is down to 80%. I've check all the apps I've got installed and nothing should be using Maps. I have WiFi set to turn off with the screen, and 3G turned off.

I'm about to do a factory reset (and re-root in the process). Thought I'd check with the rest of you first to see if you had similar problems.

Maps Battery Info:

CPU total: 29m 9s

Keep awake: 2h 21m 19s

GPS: 1m 18s

Wi-Fi running 1h 36m 8s

Thanks all!
[Xoom General] chbennett:
I do, but not to the same extent as you. Also I've noticed that maps uses seemingly too many resources when triggered on demand. Just an interesting connection.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
It's probably "Latitude". Are you signed into that?
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I've had this problem on all my Android 2.3+ devices.

Read it was Latitude, so signed out. Read that if you have location enabled in the browser, that causes it, so disabled that.

While the issue is reduced, it's still there.

Maps' NetworkLocationService holds wake locks that it doesn't release for minutes to hours sometimes, which seems to be the cause of the battery use.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Yeah, would see that in "dmesg" sometimes. Thing is, even when "Maps" is the #1 "cause" of drain, it's really never enough to really kill your battery.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Yeah, but it's having a noticeable impact. Enough to annoy me :P
[Xoom General] dspero:
latitude

I do have latitude and location enabled in the browser. I'll disable and see what happens. Thanks!!

[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
Hey guys,

So i've been going back and forth trying to decide if I should upgrade now or wait it out until something better comes along. I love my EVO, but just getting the urge to get something new...i have mixed feelings on the 3D and am pretty stoked for the Samsung Within to come out (supposedly in late July). Also I hear more and more rumors about the iphone coming to sprint this fall. Along with apple getting sprint towers to do some serious testing on their network in KS. If those rumors do become fact and I got a phone before they annouce it, i would be kinda of pi$$ed i didnt wait it out for the iphone.

So i guess im just seeing what you guys think - if sprint will get the iphone or not this year? Or if you have an evo 3d or if your waiting on one of the motorla's to come out or the samsung within...

Just hoping to get some discussion on what everyone is waiting on from sprint this year....look forward to reading everyones posts...
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
EVO 3D? (Maybe, IMHO until they address the bootloader, back off of it.)

iPhone? No. If you want an iOS device wait for a new iPod Touch to tether to any Android phone.

Samsung ___ (I don't trust them), You gotta love the spec sheet on the GSII though.

I'd wait only until September just to see what crops out. If the Nexus Prime comes out, I'd go for that.

Me personally, I'll be going to the EVO 3D just on the strength of the devs that are getting it as well & the fact that I actually like Sense based roms. I'll also be selling my iPod Touch 4 as I'll be buying the new iPod Touch #_? to tether to the EVO 3D.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
Why would you want the iPhone. It's such a piece and android is so much better. I would say get the 3D or wait for the within and get that. At the very least wait for something better to come out. Please do not waste your money on the garbage iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
i'm waiting for news of a SGS2, otherwise the evo3d is cool
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Same here. I was hoping to hear some sort of announcement this week now that HTC's new flagship has already been released. Figured Sprint has agreements with the various manufacturers to stagger announcements so that new releases aren't downplayed by other major announcements.
[EVO 4G General] KrewCial:
Nexus prime, this fall. :D
[EVO 4G General] bparvin:
I got my wife the EVO3D and she absolutely loves it. (She had the EVO 4G before)

Even stock it is screaming fast. Instant response to all the touches. Root does currently seem to be an issue and why I don't use it. Wireless tether is a must for me.

As great as the EVO 3D is I think I might wait till the Holidays and get the last greatest then. I am crossing my fingers that Sprint gets the new Nexus at launch since they have been buddy buddy recently.

If the iPhone 5 comes out for Sprint (I doubt it highly) that is a great choice as well. Not as versatile as Android but it does what it does better than anybody else.

Don't flame me, I am an Android Fan boy, but I know how to show respect to the competitors.
[EVO 4G General] Sry0fcr:
I'd wait it out.
[EVO 4G General] staveflyer:
OK maybe I'm just poor, but are you guys paying or planning on paying full retail? Unless you have a really cool rep letting you upgrade after only one year. Is there some awesome place selling phones for cheap that I haven't heard of? (like a trustworthy seller on eBay?)
[EVO 4G General] mbaseball3:
For me, I'm still holding out until the real EVO replacement. The 3d is only meh to the original. Don't care enough about 3d and the dual core stuff is still just mediocre. When they slap in dual 1 ghz processors, then were talking. Until then, the original EVO is still way up there on list of bad ass phones.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
I'm leaning towards getting a 3D this week. I was going to wait for the SG2 after seeing all the negative initial reviews, but after playing with the 3D, I came away impressed. It's got everything I like about the Evo, with a form factor I like more and the 3D was actually pretty cool to see live. I'm still hoping the SG2 comes out late July as predicted so I can still make a direct comparison before any 30 day return window ends for me.
[EVO 4G General] lost_man10002:
+1 on this...I tried the Evo 3d yesterday not impressed at all
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
I think my Evo is working just fine and probably sticking with it. I'm going to wait for the next generation of phones (quad-cores).
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
I can't stand Apple but have you guys read this article?

LINK
[EVO 4G General] Splaktar:
I looked at the 3D live and it was nice, but I'm not excited enough to drop a pile of cash for it. I spoke to a Sprint Rep on the phone and she seemed to think that I could get the $75 Premier discount plus the $150 recycle discount for turning in my EVO 4G and that would get me the 3D for free. But after doing more research, it seems like she was just confused.

As far as I can tell, I'd need to buy the phone outright for $450-550 and I'd be able to discount $225 from that. Leaving me another $225+ out of pocket.

The other option would be canceling my contract and paying something just under $200 for early cancellation. Then signing a new 2 year contract and getting the 3D for $180. But that still leaves me paying ~$155 out of pocket.

Is this math generally correct? Or is there another way to upgrade the EVO 4G to the EVO 3D for lower out of pocket costs?

As for which phone I'd upgrade to if I was willing to spend $200-300+, I'm very excited about the SGII but I'm a bit worried about the lack of recent news about possible Sprint coverage on it. I'm also very interested in the Nexus Prime, but by the time it is due out I was expecting to start seeing quad core phones coming out.

Additionally, now after seeing the recent network speed tests and how Sprint is so terrible and my recent problems with extremely slow 3G speeds, I'm seriously considering a switch to Verizon when I upgrade. Plus the fact that I'm seeing Verizon's 4G network expand so much faster than Sprint's (which after a full year is still not available in my area) and the fact that Sprint may be switching over to LTE.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
That looks like an HTC or Motorola to me, not an Apple.

I must admit, it looks sexy.
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
yeah i did, just checked it out actually before coming over to XDA...can you tell im working hard over here. I can't tell if I like that form factor or not. I HATED the iphone 4 form factor when it first came out and thought it was the ugliest thing in the world then, but now I love it. If it does look like that I guess I'd have to hold it and see how it is.

What do you guys think - think it wil be a totally revamped iphone coming out this fall or just some minor upgrades, like being compatable with Sprint's network?

The SGSII looks sick as hell and i might have to snatch that up - really hoping the iphone comes to sprint tho - without the outrageous prices!

Thanks for all the comments so far!
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
IMHO you have to remember, if you keep worrying about the "next best thing" there will be something better to follow, right behind it. I'd wait two months tops, just to see what else will become available.

$155 - $225 for the EVO 3D isn't bad, its generally what you'd normally pay for an average upgrade.

BTW you can't mention switching to Verizon if you're looking to manage money, I don't think you'll be too excited paying more "out of pocket" per month than you have to.
[EVO 4G General] cesjr02:
Can you post a link to the negative reviews? I've seen nothing but raving reviews on this phone. It's nice to have a balanced opinion. :o
[EVO 4G General] waterbound:
How is the SGS2 different then the EVO 3D, aren't they the same or similar specs?
[EVO 4G General] rdisanza:
I have an EVO and I just ordered an EVO 3D for my wife. I like them both just fine but the dual core, 1gig memory and ofc Snapdragon of the 3D is awesome. Just remember that there is NO root for the 3D yet if thats important to you. I know these dev's and they'll figure one out soon enough.

Good luck with your choice and I agree, Verizon is more expensive. HighSpeed Data is like 30.00 per month by itself where we pay only 10.00 with Sprint.

Enjoy
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
I wouldn't call this a bad review, but it points out the weakness of the platform.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/htc-evo-3d-review/

Now they mentioned terrible battery life early in the article, stating that they only got 14 hours out of a charge, but that is pretty good considering what they were doing (picture taking, polling 3 email accounts, etc).

I get between 12 and 24 hrs out of my Evo, depending on whether I am streaming Pandora or not. When I have Pandora on, I disable the lock screen.
[EVO 4G General] Tripp-phpBB:
Is anyone even considering the Motorola Photon? I really like the specs but the form design is ugly. Not to mention I LOVE HTC and Sense and I was reading that Motorola's UI...well sucks.

I wonder what HTC's next big Sprint phone will be?
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
I have been disappointed with the Motorolas on VZW, so I will stay way from them on Sprint. The last Moto that I had was the Razr V9, and that phone sucked copious amounts of dead donkey testicle.

The Evo is my first HTC phone, and certainly not be my last. I would like to see the Evo 4G+ brought to the US. All the goodness of the 3D, without the headaches.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edendavid:
Hi everybody !

I replaced my tab there is three day with a new one (last one has been brocken), and i can flash new rom but i can't boot ==> i m still on samsung logo !!

I tried removed bootloader with "bootloader patch v1.00 for samsung galaxy tab"

and here the result of the patch:

Bootloader- YOU ARE SAFE !

Signed: Kernel

Not Signed: PBL, SBL, SBL_Backup

Assessement: can flash anything

As you can see my kernel is still signed, so is it because of that i can't boot my GT ?????????????????

I realy apreciate if you could giving an idea, because i havent....

ie: sorry for my english, im frensh.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Ok, so the app said you were safe, and you removed the bootloader anyway?

You can't boot . . . are you ready? . . .

. . . because you removed the . . .

. . . bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edendavid:
First of all, thank you very much to reply !

I badly explained my problem ==> i do not removed the bootloader, i unsigned (unlocked) it with known application named "bootloader patch v1.0 ...."
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
could you please state what you did in a chronological manner. because it seems to me that you didn't really understand what the bootloader patch was for, it isn't made to remove your bootloaders but only to replace them with unsigned ones.

as stated in the report:

Bootloader- YOU ARE SAFE ! ------ Your bootloaders are unsigned

Signed: Kernel ------ Your kernel is signed (because you are currently on stock firmware.

Not Signed: PBL, SBL, SBL_Backup ------ again stating that your bootloaders are unsigned

Assessement: can flash anything ------ you can flash any rom that is for YOUR device

now, the patch that chainfire and rotohammer made was designed to be used for galaxy tabs with Froyo (android 2.2) and is not to be used with galaxy tabs with gingerbread (android 2.3).

if when you power on you still get to see the samsung boot logo then you could still revive your tab by going into download mode flashing a stock rom that is for your device, or if you are lucky can bring back your tab in operating condition by doing a factory reset by going into recovery mode and selecting factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I don't believe edendavid has removed or replaced the bootloaders as the bootloader app greys out the choice to replace if bootloaders are safe (I believe it did for me, but its been a while since I used it), however, edendavid may have tried to flash a gingerbread rom that needs base gingerbread already installed.

If edendavid would tell us WHAT was flashed and how it might give us some better insight into what went wrong and what help is needed...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edendavid:
FIrst of all, Thank you very much to take a time for me !!!

Here, what i did chronologicaly :

1- Begin with Froyo ==> 2.2

2- Set tab too root mode manually, with adb because z4root and SuperOneClick does not work for me. Here what i did ==> http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/3936-rooting-galaxy-tab-with-adb-method/

3-reboot tab once.

4-install the application "bootloader patch v1.00 for samsung galaxy tab"

5-apply patch on my tab

6- reboot tab

7-reopen the application "bootloader patch ..."

8-reboot tab in download mode

9-open odin

10- placed .pit and one tar containing all files (zimage, factory, hidden, Sbl, boot, cach and param ) in PDA field==> the rom is named P1000XXJQ1, and retrived on http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/auth/login?why=pw&try=1&wp=1&next=WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm

11- flash the tab corretly ==> odin is correclty ended "Success" is displayed.

12-the tab reboot on recovery mode alone.

13- i do not wipe the tab ...... ==> is it an error ?

14-I breboot the tab

15- tab is locked on "samsung galaxy tab", i whait 25-30 minutes ==>so i decided to reinstall rom named P1000XWJMI (a Froyo 2.2) ==> everthing is find my tab reboot but im still on 2.2.....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
after flashing to gingerbread via odin, you should do the wipe and start from factory settings. also by chance did you also flash a file named dbdata.rfs?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edendavid:
In the fils i flashed, there is no dbdata...

I tried also with cyanogenMod7Beta and here there is dbdata and there is the same result.

Do you think if i tried flash and after if i do a wipe factory that will work ???
