[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
The original EVO had those ripples as well.....I happen to think thatsthe gorilla glass on the top.....I noticed that a long time ago with my OG EVO.....and I had 5 of em LOL......but yeah....not.doubting ya Vin.......but remember that from before.....
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Slightly, but nowhere near as prominent and uniform as with the 3d. You had 5 bad phones homie!
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. I researched all over the internet and could not find a reasoning behind these so called water marks or stretch marks under the screen. It must have something to do with the way HTC melds the screen together. Anyway I'm going to the sprint store today to see if they will work with me as it is obviously a defect. Seems to be an extremely rare issue so far or no one has noticed. Unfortunately for me where I work we have very bright lights so I noticed it right away. As with any product there seems to be a few bad batches of these phones out there. Hopefully number 3 will be near perfect.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
Here's a slightly better pic
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Perhaps you could clean the screen and then post a fresh pic. I'm having a difficult time discerning smudges from what you're referring to.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Do you have a screen protector on your phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] SAShady:
Me and 3 friends have 3d's. Every one has the same thing, if you look at them from the side, almost 90 degrees, you can see a texture to the glass, and it almost seems like you would be able to feel it, but I believe its just the gorilla glass resin.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
We discussed those textures (see my first post in thread), but those are not what he's referring to
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
The screen was totally clean in the new pic. Yes I have a stick on screen protector and it has no effect on my problem. I realized I couldn't whipe the streaks out before I put it on.
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
:eek:

lol.....I KNOW IT SOUNDS EXTREME, but i got my first one since launch...so yes, thru all the time up till i got my 3D i had 5.....i know 2 i dropped in paint at work....woo-hoo....LOL. hmmmm, i dunno it seemed to me that the ripples looks the same on both, but hey, i could be wrong.

EDIT....and im talking about the ripples....not scratches..i dont think scratched would be there by default
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
I would take it in. I can clearly see what you're talking about, and mine definitely doesn't have any kind of vertical streaking like that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Okay, if the screen was clean in that last pic, I think I see what you're talking about now. The darker lines that almost look like a fingernail drew them? And you're sure they aren't between your screen protector and the glass? I'd take it back, that's not right.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
Yup, noticed them before I put the protector one. Figured I would just live with it since it's already my second 3d and they told me I could only exchange once.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
I think i see what your talking about. Mine isn't like that at all no matter what angle i hold it at.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
Little update, the sprint store I went to would not let me exchange it. They said since I had already used my one exchange I would not be allowed to do so again. Suggested they send me through TEP and they tech wanted to use my phone as a "genie pig." I declined obviously. Decided not to return it because my alternative is a palm pre-
[HTC EVO 3D] :
They can't decline if you are within your 30 day warranty.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
They told me I only had one exchange and since I had used it, I would have to use TEP granted I would'nt have to pay anything for them to crack into my brand new yet defective phone. Talked to them for over 30min about it. Not exactly happy.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
there is no gorilla glass on the evo3d
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Have you tried calling retention? Call sprint and request for them to send you one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
I may do that tomorrow or return the phone all together. The more I think about it the more I realize I shouldn't pay for a product with defects. The tech guy at the store even admitted that this first batch seems to have issues, but suggested I wait until my phone totally dies(he said wait for the camera to pop out?) Said by that time they should have better built phones. Kinda insane if you ask me. If the streaks were my only issue I may concur, but this phone has the tilted screen, a dead pixel, major light leakage, a small speck of dust, loose 3d/2d switch, low radio connectivity. Oh and the battery that came in the box failed their stress test so they had to give me one from another 30day return. I hate to rant but maybe it’s a sign I should follow the sprint tecs advice and wait for another hardware revision. Huge fan of HTC so I’m not trolling just saying my in particular experience seems to have gone negatively. Does anyone know how long I would have to wait until my upgrade would be reinstated and I could use it on the same phone? Nothing coming out sparks my interest other than the Prime maybe.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Yes there is. Corning lists it among products that have it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rushringleader:
I am trying to restore my bricked Charge using Samsung PST and the ED1. I have done it before and not had an issue but this time I keep getting the RX_TIMEOUT error pop up on my charge's screen. I have tried with and without the charge.pit and with and without the battery in. I just don't get why it will not work again. Do any of you know a solution?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rushringleader:
I was able to fix it by charging the battery all the way to 100 percent. So strange that it had to be fully charged for it to work
[Verizon Droid Charge] oconnell84:
I actually flashed the recovery and then boot into CWM 4.0.14 and formatted the data/cache. After this the flashing worked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrialk:
I had a similar problem (90% battery) and solved it by plugging into the rear USB ports (in lieu of the front ports).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkOrPn:
I did a search in the Vibrant section and did not see this mentioned anywhere.

P3Droid has released a Android app that makes a Odin flashable tar backup of your ROM, instead of having to restore a Nandroid. This allows you to store your favorite setups onto your computer instead of on your phone which you obviously have more room for anyway, and allows you a convenient way to quickly restore to a working state if something should go wrong with the current test ROM your trying. Conceivably you could make a Odin backup of every successful ROM you had on your phone, with all your apps and settings ready to go, all there waiting on your computer, saving you precious space on your phone, and maybe even precious time. Did you just brick your phone? Enter Download Mode, flash your latest OdinMaker tar backup and BAM, fixed back to working state. I have my doubts... Do you? lol

Samsung OdinMaker 1.0

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.p3droid.odinmaker.donate&feature=search_result

I kinda like this idea, but curious what caveats might be introduced. Its $2 and only gives 15 minute trial, so not possible to try this to verify that its works or not. And I'm sure it does not work for us CM7 users...

So, any thoughts on such an app???

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
If you just want to make an Odin flashable from a current rom then use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943588

Basically do a system dump of the rom you want to package, move the files from your phone to your computer, put in correct folder and click start. Done and free. This will also allow a little bit of customization such as using a different kernel or modem.

Or

Have you updated to them recently? (If so you may want to downgrade)
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Well if your phone has no service in the same spot that two other phones do, then yes that points to a problem with your phone. You can either take it in and have it looked at, or dont, and not get service.

[Acer Iconia A500] JamesKinds:
Hi all,

I was running stock Honeycomb 3.1 on my A500 and getting fantastic battery life, especially on standby.

I recently encrypted the tablet via "settings->location & security->encrypt tablet".

Since the encryption the battery drain has been substantial. This occurs even when the tablet is in standby.

Has anyone experienced the same issue or better yet found a fix?

Thanks in advance,

James
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Soryy I bring no answer, but I do have a question or you. Why did you encrypt your tablet?

Sensitive material? You can tell me it's none of my business, but I was just wondering. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] JamesKinds:
Nothing sensitive other than some family pictures. :-)

I just like to know that in the event that the tablet was mislaid or stolen, then people would not be able to get access to the data, email accounts, etc.

Perhaps I'm being overly paranoid! ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
in fact if you want to use exchange push email you have to encrypt, otherwise it will not allow it. I even think this is common on all 3.1 devices and even on 3.01 1.39 devices.

so this feature sould and has to be functioning on all tablet devices.

may be i am wrong about this statement, however i think it is a good thing to have.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Thanks for the answer. I hope I never need to use that feature, but while it's nice to know the feature is there, it's troubling to know it's a battery pig.

Some success!

I finally got lsusb to recognize the devices. after many many recompilation of busybox,turns out it was a binding problem between the android and the chroot session.

i ran in terminal emulator: ($mnt = the chroot mount point)

#mkdir -p $mnt/dev/bus/usb

#mount -o bind /dev/bus/usb /$mnt/dev/bus/usb

and now in the chroot session:

root@localhost:/#lsusb

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, inc USB-2.0 4-port HUB

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1519:0020

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

as you can see i plugged in a usb hub to power the device, just to test.

i'm going to be working on compiling the driver.

hopefully beaple to use the aircrack suite soon on my phone. :D

Driver

I'm trying to compile the RTL8187 driver for the ARM architecture . I've never done this sort of thing, so any advice on kernel modules would be greatly appreciated.

i'm using the ARM toolchain from :

http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription?@template=lite

compiling with the i19100 kernel source compiled by XDA members (not the tar files from samsung).

If anyone has any experience with Cross compiling, any help would be awesome.

[Galaxy S II General] Td8f4:
more good stuff

i've finally got the driver compiled for ARM without it spewing Piles of errors.

now i've actually got to test them. :D

2 modules:

ieee80211.ko

rtl8187.ko

these would either be loaded in android OS with "insmod" in the init.rc file, so it's loaded on boot. Or in the backtrack 5 chroot session.

now i've got LSUSB working and displaying Some connected devices, however devices such as usb keyboards and My Wifi card are not displayed (the Usb host port is displayyed though:rolleyes:)

From the reading i've done i'm pretty sure this is due to a vendor permissions issue.

in a file simmilar to this:

/etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules

now i havnt been able to find this file on my phone. or simmilar.

this file allows the types of vendors allowed to connect.

an example command to be added:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", NAME=="android"

When i run lsusb on my ubuntu virtual machine, with the card plugged in i get:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter

so i'd have to add a line like this :

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bda", MODE="0666", NAME=="Realtek"

so in short, If ANYBODY knows where a vendors permission file resides, please post something.:confused:

sweet thanks:D
[Galaxy S II General] Td8f4:
HUGE!

O MAN i had no IDEA i'd get this far, i've never even used linux that much untill i got this phone!

so as it turns out the permission issue with pretty well ALL devices is very prevalent

you have to allow android OS to connect to specific vendors, i've tested it woth sevral keyboards.

the vendor codes can be found here

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

but here they are

Company	USB Vendor ID
Acer	0502
ASUS	0b05
Dell	413c
Foxconn	0489
Garmin-Asus	091E
Google	18d1
HTC	0bb4
Huawei	12d1
K-Touch	24e3
KT Tech	2116
Kyocera	0482
Lenevo	17EF
LG	1004
Motorola	22b8
NEC	0409
Nook	2080
Nvidia	0955
OTGV	2257
Pantech	10A9
Philips	0471
PMC-Sierra	04da
Qualcomm	05c6
SK Telesys	1f53
Samsung	04e8
Sharp	04dd
Sony Ericsson	0fce
Toshiba	0930
ZTE	19D2

so an example of this.

i have a lenovo usb keyboard that i want to use.

so log in as root, create file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules, and add these line:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="17EF", MODE "0666", NAME=="lenovo"

so in bash:

su
mount -o remount,rw system /system
mkdir -p /etc/udev/rules.d/
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
echo SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="17EF", MODE "0666", NAME=="lenovo" > 51-android.rules

THIS can be applied to any usb device, so far as i;ve tested. if you cant find the vendor codes in the table, you can get them by plugging the device into a linux box and running lsusb and it's the first set of digits so

bus ### dev ###: ID <this one>:blah "some company"

i'll put together a full tutorial up since NO ONE HAS PUT ONE UP AS FAR AS I"VE SEEN. this would add support for pretty well android devices with OTG host mode!!

Td8f4, huge thanks for posting your findings.

I compiled kernel modules for my ralink3070, which is the . I even had them loaded with insmod. But it didn't work. dmesg says "this device is not supported".
[Galaxy S II General] letsdream:
Any news on this, is this manual written some place?

I tried writing this udev rule, but with no effect so far. I am also running on Galaxy S2, with Lite'ning ROM 6.1 (Android 2.3.4, Kernel 2.6.35-11 ninphetamine 2.0.5+).

Edit: I did not see page 2 of this thread... sorry for your phone Td8f4... but then trying to get the warranty when you re-flashed it... and overclocked it, you have little chances. Good luck anyway.

If anyone get the USB device to actually appear in lsusb, give me a sign, I only get flashdrives and hubs to appear, a serial2usb won't.
[Galaxy S II General] letsdream:
I now figured out that the problem was due to CONFIG_SEC_WHITELIST and driver/usb/core/sec_whitelist.h One or the other has to be modified, both have been tested to be working. With the default falues, devices other than a few defined one (HID, cameras, mass storage, hub) won't be connected at all and will not appear in lsusb or dmesg.

The next step once they appear in lsusb and dmesg with a line "usb 2-1: device v0403 p6001 is not supported" is to find which driver is needed and either compile it within the kernel, or compile it as a module and insmod it manually. You have succeeded that step when you get a new line in dmesg from your device driver.

The next step again is to find an application using the driven device (I am at that step now, for a usbserial device)
[Galaxy S II General] olifee:
Hi,

I am currently trying to get the usbserial-module working on Siyah-kernel.

In fact, usbserial and ftdi_sio both load (the same device works fine with those modules on a desktop. Yes, I have compiled them for ARM agains Siyah-Kernel and not just copied them from desktop ;-) ), but s3c_otghcd 'snatches' away the device before I can get a hold of it.

Have a look at my post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18299539&postcount=3712

If you can give me any further leads (should "CONFIG_SEC_WHITELIST=n" be enough, and does it break other things, like mouse / hub support?), that would be very much appreciated :).

EDIT: Got it working with an external DIGITIZER, I can now watch analog signals with 5 GS/s on my phone... oscilloscope to go! :)

So "CONFIG_SEC_WHITELIST=n" breaks nothing (thumbdrives still work), but enables a whole world of possibilities.
