[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
You must be confused by Joeykrim's answer. Lol.

I'm sure he was thinking you meant something else.

I'm guessing that when the screen is really bright and all the capacitives are off it looks like the Search button is still half way lit. Am I right?

This has nothing to do with any software/firmware/rom/recovery. Its a physical flaw IN the phone. The LCD display panel isn't properly encased. So the backlight of the screen bleeds into the capacitive search buttons area. It happens on more 3D's than it doesn't. I tried taking mine apart and fixing it. But it hasn't helped. :-\
[HTC EVO 3D] onebenadams:
This makes sense(pun intended) to me and sounds quite logical.... Thanks a bunch felacio

I'm pretty sure I just bricked my **@#*& phone trying to Flash the Semaphore 1.6.0Bm kernel :(

It failed the first time around when I tried to flash it via Odin.

So I took the battery out like I usually do then went to put it back into download mode... To my surprise I cannot get into download or recovery mode anymore.

I've tried all button methods and none worked. I can't get past the screen that has the cell --- computer screen.. Looks like I may need a jig now...?

Any other ideas that I might be able to try?

Thanks.
[Fascinate General] efan450:
What happens when you three finger boot and just keep holding it? Same screen you have now?
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
You mean holding the Vol up & down, Home and power button?

Same thing. :(

I've left the battery out for over 20 minutes, tried it while plugged into the computer, the adapter and not plugged in at all.. Still nothing.

This sucks..
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
if the phone doesn't do anything at all you can probably take it in to your service center and tell them it wont turn on but it didn't get wet or anything... ubless they have some magical way to get it into download then they'll replace it if you're under warranty.

Load up Ubuntu or something and load up heimdall command line. There should be an option to kick it out of the connect to PC screen.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Thanks for your responses.

I tried the OneClick.jar heimdall method but it seems to not recognize that the phone is even plugged in. :(

I did just purchase a USB jig off ebay, I'm guessing that this is my last option before having to bring it back to Telus for a replacement :mad: :mad: :mad:

Thanks for the Link but I gave this a try and unfortunately the phone isn't picked up by any of my computers (XP, Mac OSX & Ubuntu), when connected Via USB. Failed everytime
[Fascinate General] Japots:
I got this same problem when I installed CM7 on my T959d for the first time and Odin hung after clicking [Start]. Rebooted my phone and was greeted with a nice soft-brick screen. What a scare that was.

Here's what I did:

1. Take out the battery from the phone.

2. Plug the phone via USB to the PC (odin was open)

3. Hold down [VOL -] key

4. Hold down [POWER] key

I don't remember if the SGH-GTI9000 screen popped up, but if it does, wait for it to switch back to a black screen and then release just the [POWER] key, keeping [VOL -] pressed.

That put me back in Download Mode. Fired up ODIN again and the flash was successful this time around.

edit: Also, the Semaphore kernel i see in i9000 is for JVS roms. I'm not sure how that would affect darkys, since it's a JVR rom.

I'd love to have the wallpaper, on the pic attached. on my Desire S.

I have searched the whole web and even here on xda for the same or even something similar,but no go.

This wallpaper is maybe an Incredible S special, I dunno.

I'd really appreciate if someone points me to where to find this ....

Now here it is !!!

Thank you xxmorph3u5xx for pointing the source image :)

seems like the weather live wallpaper in a rainy day.

at least when rained the other day my DS looked like tht :p
[HTC Desire S] xxmorph3u5xx:
ok..so i actually believe that this looks rather similar to the last of the preinstalled htc wallpapers - the blurry bubbly stuff :P.

so what i did: photoshopped the original pic a bit, a little desaturation, a little colorise, a little motion blur.. hope it's what u were looking for.

cheers!

p.s.: if u want any other modification to the pic just ask, happy to help

[Bravo General] beestea:
I picked up a Motorola Bravo to use as a secondary phone on ebay for a steal of a price and thought I would share some of my success / failures / tips I have learned so far.

Successes:

Rooting the phone this was very easy as I just followed other instructions on this forum.

1. Install Drivers from here: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/ then reboot

2. Download and install latest SuperOneClick, unzip, plug in your phone, run the executable. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 Click the ROOT button and let it do it's thing. I suggest letting it install busybox as well. **NOTE THIS VERSION DID NOT work for Allowing non market APPS***

Allow non market APPS: this was a bit more tricky

1. Install the same motorola drivers from rooting (if you didn't already)

2. Find SuperOneClickv1.5.5 -- Be careful .. some of the files I found triggered virus warnings. I found this link to be reliable: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I88D36X6 this URL was found on this post: (for the paranoid to refer back to) http://androidforums.com/x10-all-things-root/254097-new-rooting-method-2-1-updated-2-0-2-0-24-9-01-2011-a.html

Failures:

I have not yet been able to completely disable MotoBLUR. I saw two different ways of doing this... one was to edit the build.prop and add the following lines:

ro.mot.deblur=true

ro.mot.setuptype=2

This didn't work, but I also wasn't sure how to clear the phone data/cache ... maybe in the recovery mode? Can anyone confirm this method works on the Motorola Bravo?

The second method I saw was to type eebluroff I am assuming after booting the phone for the first im after a factory data reset. I saw one post saying you should be able to do this by bringing up the keyboard on the screen where you select the system language. I was not able to get the keyboard to come up therefore I couldn't get this method to work.

Anyone else have any luck?

Finally I plan to try carrier unlocking the phone, enabling wifi tethering, and eventually try a ROM or two out.
[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
I'll say this now. I have the bravo. I have T-Mobile service. Not at&t. All I did was call them and asked for the code. Very nice people there. Took me about 10 minutes total including going through menu prompts and holding time.

And Super One Click will unlock non-market apps. Just click root and let it go. Reboot your phone. Click Shell root and let it finish. THEN click the non-market button W/O rebooting!
[Bravo General] akacoke:
great tips,

hey junkyardjames87, can you post couple links for roms? thanks
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
The best thing you can do for your bravo is flash CM7 or MIUI on it;)
[Bravo General] akacoke:
thanks for the tips.

i went through a lot of threads, a lil bit confused, this is my first android phone. im already in love with it.

my bravo is unlocked with code, running 2.2.1 froyo, i think its rooted but im not sure, there is market logo on the home screen, and it has the superuser icon too when i click on the circle to app page.

and it doesnt really lag a lot, its just not as snappy compare to my friend's iphone4. never wanted any apple products, they are way overpriced lol, i think with mod bravo should run really fast doe.

cm7 or miui is androind 2.3 right? is there any glitch after install it? what are the steps if i wanna install one of them

thanks in advance

As the insurance couldnt replace it they gave me a wildfire in return! Awful awful phone....would have rooted and installed New Rom if I could!

Definitely a major upgrade compared to both handsets and certainly won't look back.

I have to admit tho if this phone went (.)(.) up I would probably go back to OSFrancisco to get by!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacko74:
I had a Galaxy S Captivate before my brand new Galaxy 2. My only complaint about the Captivate was the battery life and freezing. Losing it was the best excuse I had to upgrade. My G2 battery life is awesome and launches on SPB Shell 3D and never freezes. The best Smartphone I ever had.

I realized that right now I don't have that much money to buy G2. Maybe a little later or Maybe G3 :)

[Android Apps and Games] poondek:
While recently hunting for a good bargain at a local used car mart, I downloaded some other calculator app to use on the ground. Only afterwards did I realise the calculation was incorrect. Despite having scrapped the thought of changing my car, I decided to come up with something useful to address this anyway.

Tada! This app does a different way of calculation compared to typical amortization calculators. Using the Rule 78, the effective interest rate is applied per year. This means that the monthly instalment that you might see via other apps should really be noticeably higher. This would be all the more important if budget is a concern for you.

TL;DR - App calculates car loan based on loan amount, annual interest rate and loan period in months, gives you accurate monthly instalment.

Market download here.

Features

Calculates monthly instalment

Lock interest rate to prevent it from being cleared

Uses Rule 78 calculation (aka principal amount + interest)
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Does it calculate revers way

I mean can it calculate interest rate if v provide loan amt, installment n number of installment?

Table can be exported?
[Android Apps and Games] poondek:
Regarding the reverse-calculation, not yet it doesn't. Sounds plausible though. I'll add that to my to-do list and hopefully work on that next.

Exporting of table, do you mean when generating the full amortization schedule? I'll have to look into that.

I know AMOLED has burn in issues if you decide to leave one thing on the screen for a very long time, but I'm speaking of my SLCD DInc. I've noticed it for a while. It's never permanent, but is kinda annoying and simply makes no sense. I did a speedtest (that's like, 30 seconds i think), and went into the gallery, and (you know how everything is grey wt first?) I saw burn in! Like I could see the ad, and even the numbers, etc, this makes no sense and has yet to have a softwsre fix, I know it has to be a software issue because SLCD or any LCD (SLCD is an IPS panel) does not auffer from screen burn in. And the fact that if I turn the screen off for a bit, it goes away. That's not a hardware issue, that's a software issue, and I feel as thiugh I'm the only one who has noticed. I know this is not an AMOLED DInc because the blacks still light up and screen is not PenTile.

I just wanted to bring this to the attention to the wonderful developers of xda and maybe we can have a software fix cooked?..
[Droid Incredible General] loonatik78:
I can't see how that would be a software issue. It sounds a lot more like a defective LCD, or an LCD that is under some kind of physical stress, i.e., compressed, twisted, or bent. If it's software, you're talking about data lingering on a RAMDAC in a very orderly way, then being somehow summoned for display in opposition to the memory being addressed. I just can't see how that would happen. A defective LCD could behave like that though. AMOLED burn in is characterized by a degradation of the OLED elements producing a reduction in light output, not a residual luminescence such as a CRT.

If you have tried multiple attempts than go into your SD card and delete the stuff it downloaded and retry, you might have corrupted the data from your first attempt when you only got 25%.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomniu:
Hi I am buying a new phone, and I have 2 phones in mind: g2x or atrix.

I am on tmobile but i can unlock atrix to work with tmobile.

Now which one would you recommend?

G2x:

Better camera

Snappier

Better screen(IPS is brighter and more vibrant)

Atrix:

more ram

Bigger storage

higher resolution screen

Please help. I know this is in the atrix forum, but please give unbiased suggestions. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] termleech:
I don't know a lot about the g2x, but my choice would be the atrix due to the more ram. More ram makes your phone more future proof. I also like the higher resolution of the atrix and CM7 is progressing nicely for the atrix so you will have a way to get rid of the motoblur crap.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
I don't know how much hands on you've had with the G2X, but it is only snappier in it's fresh out of the box state. My coworker bought one and once you start installing apps and setting up widgets, it started to feel choppier. The ram does make a difference. Don't let the reviews and benchmarks fool ya. The Atrix is faster than the G2X in real world situations. But the G2X is faster fresh out of the box due to it having a vanilla version of Android installed.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregulator:
Lots of the people here have chosen the Atrix over the G2X, so it's going to be tough to find much support for LG here. That said, the reason I chose the Atrix over the G2X is because of the accessories that come with the Atrix. The lapdock really interested me, and I finally got one last week. For what I need, it's been an awesome addition. The bigger battery in the Atrix will also go a long way (in my opinion). I wish the camera was a little better in the Atrix, but that's what I have a point and shoot for. All in all, and this is just my opinion, there are very few areas where the LG has a distinct advantage over the Atrix.
