[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, I'm ok for it being moved of course. But just read an article that Samsung has patented a method to produce shallow depth of field photos for point and shoot and cell phone cameras. Looks like nothing for the consumer market but the idea makes sense for the EVO 3D.

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/07/samsung-patent-creates-shallow-depth-of-field-in-digicams/

In a nutshell, some computations are made to determine the depth based on 2 images, one slightly offset to either side of the other.

Though, with all the patent lawsuits going on now, I doubt anyone would want to try to produce something... But I'd like to see this come to life. I don't have the skills to write something like this or I'd try.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I actually just skimmed that on Engadget. didn't actually rad the article. Didn't know it used 2 cameras to cause that effect. This would be awesome on the 3D. *crosses fingers for some developer magic*
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
typically the devs don't get much hardware-level access like that... but it's fun to dream :)

now if you want CM7 with vga recording capabilities, that's a different story!

Sounds more like an app or ROM problem. Try Elelinux's Gingerbread ROM.

Ok so as we know the galaxy 4g has the cool puzzle piece unlock. But the default SMS app isn't very good compared to handcent. So is there anyway you could use the puzzle piece unlock with handcent
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
with handcent doesnt the message automatically pop up without you having to unlock your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
and shouldnt this thread be in general?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I have the pop up disabled. I was in a rush so I thts why I posted it in the wrong section
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
This is just my opinion but if you can get the .apk file and if the rom your on is deodexed than you can try to use root explorer or anything like it to overwrite the original mms.apk with handcent.

You got to rename handcent to Mms.apk or whatever your mms.apk is named.

I've done it when I was on white's deodexed kd1 but thats just me.

Don't try it if your unsure and I take no responsiblity if you mess up.

Hope this info gives you more of a idea on how it can be done.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flyinbird93:
My gf got rid of handcent because it kept messing up her messaging. Either missing text, not sending, or send very garbled up messages; was really weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I switched from Handcent to GOSMSPro, and haven't looked to any other apps since. They're very similar at first glance but I like GOSMS better. I don't use the puzzle unlock, but maybe you can give it a go, it might work with it.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Hrm, I've been looking at that app. What is exactly better about it compared to handcent?

Sent from my awesome SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I just tried go SMS pro and its ok but I think handcent is a lot better. I don't think go SMS had the puzzle piece unlock option
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I like that it allows theming plus you can turn off features you don't use so it'll use up less memory. You can also customize the icons that come up in notifications, you can have contact blacklists, private threads (you can password protect texts from certain people), per contact notifications, backlight notifications... That's what I can think of off the top of my head. I think they're very similar apps.

Too bad that neither works with the puzzle unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Ya go SMS definitely has really cool features but I like the look of handcent more. And memory isn't a problem for me since I can force apps to the sd card using titanium backup
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Moonfire.PDX:
I think SBis251 was talking about RAM, not ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brodzik:
Hi All,

Today when I unpluged my phone from charger I have noticed that I got USB symbol in notification bar, after checking what it is it turned out to be MTP connection but phone was not connected to anything. Next I took the battery out to reboot it and then I got empty battery sign with thermometer warning next to it!?! After few minutes phone booted in safe mode so I took the battery out again but this time for about 10 minutes. It is working fine since but Im worried that there might be something wrong with it. What do you think guys? Have someone had something like that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkSkov:
Hey,

I had exactly the same thing happen today, tried everything I could think of, factory resets, formatting, cache wiping, tried reflashing multiple times with root and without root, XXKG2, XXKG1, KE7 and back to branded stock firmware. I also used a counter reset jig just in case that had any effect. Anyway, I ended up calling my provider and they suggested it was a hardware fault rather than software or settings and they are sending me a new one tomorrow.

I could only find one thread about a similar issue relating to the Galaxy S though I can't "refind" it, but basically there were a number of posters there with very similar issues and some of them had success cleaning the connectors in the port of the phone. I didn't really fancy trying this and breaking the connector or voiding my warranty and so I went with the easy option.

Hope that helps and hope you get it sorted easily!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasperok:
Hi .. I have experienced more or less the same issue: mine was unplaged from charger and switched in "Driving Mode" showing a steering wheel in notification area. That happened many times so I just rebooted the phone and I got the empty battery sign with thermometer warning next to it me too!

Now usb connection is not working anymore I'm still able to charge the phone even flash is working using Odin, but no data connection is detected by any pc with any usb cable!

I've flashed the stock rom and tryed many cooked rom, but usb data is dead!:mad:

I think I have to return it on a service center!

Hope that is not your case!

Bye
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkSkov:
Looks like it's not a one off then...one thing I would add, just in case anyone hasn't noticed, is that you can still use the phone as by plugging it in to charge then it does boot up properly. In addition, you can also still get into recovery and download via the Home+Volume key+power button methods so you can revert to stock rom etc. It's a bit fiddly to do this though as the phone seems to think its on charge and so you have to time the holding/pressing just right to beat the green battery and temperature warning sign...but at least we can do backups of all our data/apps.

I really do think it might be fixable with a bit of a pointy cleaning tool and maybe some isopropanol...but as I said I didn't want the risk of breaking something further. Worth a try if your carrier isn't very good at replacing things though!

[Xperia Play General] BoomzPL:
Hello, I bought Xperia Play on auction site. It's brand new, but I believe that simlock was downed by the seller. I would like to know if phone has also unlocked bootloader (I would like to flash rooted rom to turn of that awful auto brightness feature).

I earlier updatet rom from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 using SE PC Companion 2.0. Phones with unlocked bootloader even update with that tool or maybe if that happed that means that my phone has no unlocked bootloader?

regards,

Boomz.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Connect it to the computer in fastboot mode, (Power off, disconnect from computer, hold search key, while holding search key, connect it to computer), go to fastboot and run the line, fastboot devices, if you get an output like oih350980tw9083 device or whatever, it has an unlocked bootloader

EDIT: Fully read your post, yeah, if it updated via Sony tools, then it is locked, but if the phone is sim free, then you may be able to unlock it!
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
This is wrong. All phones come originally with BL's closed. If you get an output with the "fastboot devices" command, it means that your bootloaders are unlockABLE. You need to type the unlocking command in order to unlock them.

The definite proof to see if your BL's are closed or not is to open the TrackID app. If it launches well, your bootloaders are locked. If it doesn't and it complains that the app couldn't connect to SE's servers (provided you're connected) , then they're unlocked. This occurs because the bootloader unlocking operation wipes the DRM certificates from the phone.

Got a pair of bluetooth headphones to use while I am riding my bike. The audio quality is very poor, is there anything I can do to improve it? Drivers, fixes etc.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jkcheng122:
What set did you get? I use the Plantronics Backbeat 9xx (913 i think) and the quality is fine (and I'm pretty picky with audio quality). It also adds track skip, volume, mic right at the earpieces. Perfect for workouts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] FuriousOne:
Not yet (maybe not ever?). The problem is with the bluetooth drivers that Samsung uses. Apparently they have a low bitpool value hardcoded, which means bad sound quality for the end user. I was very much frustrated with the sound quality myself (coming from ipod touch which had crystal-clear lagless bluetooth audio) but there is nothing we can do ATM.

The only fix is a part of CyanogenMod, as far as I know. I think some devs are working on (or will be working on) bringing CM to Charge, but when or if it'll happen is yet to be seen.

[EVO 4G General] newuser134:
I have clockworkmod 5.... recovery on stock 2.2, rooted obviously. Can I make nandroid backup with clockworkmod, flash to Amon RA, wipe my data completely (if needed for some reason), then restore my nandroid using the newly flashed Amon RA recovery? My main question is, can a nandroid backup made with one recovery be restored with a different recovery? I'm asking this because if I change my hboot version, the same nandroid can't be restored any longer, even with the same recovery that was used to make it. Can Amon RA "read" clockworkmod nandroid backups?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
simply put NO.

what exactly is clockworkmod 5? & why do all that crap?

if you want amon_ra, flash it. although there isn't any benefit to using it.

flash_image recovery amon_ra_filename.img

that command can be done via adb or terminal emulator on the device.
[EVO 4G General] newuser134:
Will that wipe my current Rom/data if I flash recovery through adb?

Thanks again
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
PM answered, awaiting reply

recovery flashes don't wipe anything other than replacing the recovery with the new one
[EVO 4G General] genderblurr:
It can read the backups from cwm if put in the folder that amon read backups from. Why do that when you can nandroid from amon. Amon in my personal opinion is better than cwm anyway.

[EVO 4G General] .torrented:
It's a little tricky but you can use CWM Nandroids in Amon_RA.

Flash Amon_RA and then make a nandroid. There will be a folder on your SD Card called Nandroid and inside this folder there is another folder that has the same name as the Wimax img name (wimax.lettersandnumbers.img) the lettersandnumbers is what the folder will be called just place the CMW nandroid inside that folder and when you boot into recovery you will select that folder and there will be your nandroid and the one you just made.

SDcard>Nandroid>LettersAndNumbers>(place nandroid here)<

placing the nandroid in the right folder is the key to getting them to work

No benefit to using Amon Ra?

But then have a custom built PC in living room for games and media. Have a xoom and couple of android phones.

I used to like apple a lot more but now days the os is not improving flash still crashes my MacBook pro its a joke.

So I'm an apple user who is very annoyed at apple suing everyone rather then making their products better.
