Easier????

Be interested in what your definition of easier is :) Puffed rice is Rice Bubbles, a breakfast cereal. You can also just use plain rice, the idea is that it will create a dry environment and absorb any moisture. You can actually put the rice in the fridge as well, its actually a very dry environment as well. My daughter dropped a phone into a lake once, stayed in the water for about 10 minutes (was flashing strange lights and vibration from being shorted). Wasn't working when she showed it to me a day later, we put it in a bowl of rice in the fridge a day later, she thought I was slightly insane but it actually worked after that!

had the same issue too , screen was acting very strange...like taking the worng command or not calibrated,or like...someoneelse playing on the screen like a mad man...after cleaning the display problem not solved...thought was the digitizer but...voila...before ordering one,just thought about making a hard reset cause the software was actig quite slow lately and voila...problem solved...so...if it's not the moisture ...it's the software......or at least in my case ... make a backup on your sd card,and do a software reset..if after that still doesn't work,you know for sure u need a replacement part

Appreciate your help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki90:
I installed a wrong camera.apk on my GS2 (Kernel XWKG1) but when I deleted the apk from system/app the icon in the application menu didn't disappear.

Now I installed the modified version of camera.apk for GS2 and it works, but I still have a different icon that I cannot delete because it's seen as a system app.

If i try to delete again the new camera.apk the only icon that goes away is the right one.

Is there a way to delete the wrong one?

PS:Can someone send me the original camera.apk for my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
See if the rouge shows in Titanium, if so, just use Titanium to un-install and reboot into CWM Recovery clearing dalvik.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki90:
I'm sorry, but I'm pretty new about those things.

Titanium is an app for backup right?In any case I can't see camera.apk in the list.

And then what is it the "recovery clearing dalvik"?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
There are a number of ways to enter Recovery. Some are:

1. If your custom ROM has an advanced power menu APM (when you press the power button and then select reboot, there will usually be an option for recovery.

2. Use Chainfire's CWM app.

3. Power off, hold volume up + menu + power button. In that order. Keep all pressed until in recovery mode.

Once in recovery, navigate to (I think) wipe.... Or advanced....

Just look for dalvik cache and wipe/delete.

You can navigate buy using volume = up/down, power = back, home = select.

If you cannot access this recovery, you don't have it installed. Easiest way is by flashing a custom ROM / kernel combo or Chainfire's CF root kernel. Root required.

Titanium backup is a app for backing up apps and data,.as well as much more.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki90:
OK, so, I have the "reboot into clockworkmod recovery" in CWM.

This is what I need, right? When I'm in recovery mode I will be able to delete the icon from the menu?

To exit that recovery mode I just have to reboot the phone normally?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
As I said, just wipe/delete dalvik cache and reboot. See what happens. It will take a few minutes to boot, don't worry.

In Recovery you can also flash custom rom (flashable zip from sdcard) and make restore nan-backups etc. Best to back up like this before updating rom, flashing themes etc so you can return if you don't like new or have issues.

To exit recovery, you can navigate to reboot phone/system or power off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki90:
Sorry, I didn't do exactly as you told me, but I solved the problem.

I first tried to uninstall the app using titanium, it worked for a while but never finishing, so I killed titanium app and then, if I clicked on the wrong app, instead of saying "forced interruption" it said "application not installed on the phone", but the icon was still there.

Then I tryed to reboot on recovery mode, but I didn't do anything in that, only clicked reboot and then the icon was chanced in a sheet with SD written on it, I clicked on modify and then it let me erase the icon just like a normal app.

Thanks anyway for the support!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki90:
Now I have another little problem though, when I shutdown the phone, instead of remaining off it reboots automatically.

What could it be?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
What rom and kernel are you using, themes, and made any changes recently... Apart from above?

Also, are you undervolt / overclock cpu?

Edit: also try a battery pull for a few minutes, or reflash rom, or worst case, full wipe in recovery followed immediately by flashing rom.

There are a number of app that can backup apps and data, including titanium,.the pro version allows batch restore and much more. Can also repair market links etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loki90:
I used the modified kernel just to root the phone and then reflashed the original kernel, no themes, no overclocking.

Now I try with the battery pull.

EDIT: battery pull didn't work.

EDIT2: Reflashing kernel with odin, yes!it worked!

[HTC EVO 3D] MindSplit:
Hey there fellow XDA members.

I caught wind of the deal that is going on at "1saleaday" early this morning and wanted to hop on it right away, but i decided to ask here first for some more knowledgeable advice. I currently have the stock 8GB which if I'm not mistaken is a class 4. Would it be wise to switch to the 32GB class 4? I did my research on how Class 2 and 4 cards have better random access speed and random read/write than class 6 or 10 cards in general. Source

I'm mainly using it for flashing rom's and themes, photos, music, etc. So what class would you guys suggest? Also if anyone has jumped on the deal, is it legit? What are your experiences as far as shipping time?

Thanks for any info on this matter.

Finally, as far as making the switch from one memory card to another, is it just transferring the data "drag & drop" style? or is it more complex?

Link if interested

[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I don't think you'll see a performance change going from 1 class 4 to another regardless of size, but I could be wrong.

as far as transferring data - yes. Drag and drop. I've copied whole sd card to the pc, put new card in, then copied data from pc to new card. But, you may have to do it in small parts at a time - I kept getting freezes and such but my card at the time was bad too (why I was switching) and my computer also wasnt at 100%
[HTC EVO 3D] MindSplit:
Speed wise i don't mind, as long as it works exactly like my current one but with more storage space I'm a happy camper.

[TouchPad General] dmarchant:
I have been trying to change the Google option under Just Type to use google.co.uk on my Touchpad (in the UK).

After a bit of searching through the config files, I presumed it would be a matter of changing the reference in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json as that file also contains the reference to amazon.co.uk and the other standard search options.

However, even having changed that, rebooted, cleared browser cache, selecting Google in Just Type still goes to google.com and gives me US references first.

Has anyone got any idea what I am missing or have I got the wrong file?
[TouchPad General] dmarchant:
OK, I can now answer my own question after some further searching on the internet. It seems this has been documented on PreCentral in the past.

Just editing the localised file in /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr don't complete the change. To finish things off and get the TP to re-read that file, I needed to delete the universalsearchprefs.db file in /var/luna/preferences and restart.
[TouchPad General] twe69:
Do you mind linking to the thread, hopefully there is a quick guide that I can follow as I need to change mine to UK to....

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] dmarchant:
I got the basic information from here:- http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/298297-just-type-browser-google-settings.html#post3160050

However, in the end, I did everything just using Internalz Pro (after loading that with Preware). It was a case of editing /usr/palm/universalsearchmgr/resources/en_gb/UniversalSearchList.json (after saving a copy) and then deleting /var/luna/preferences/universalsearchprefs.db and then rebooting the TP.
[TouchPad General] dwl99:
How did you edit UniversalSearchList.json? If I navigate to it with Internalz & try to open it I get a blank Impostah window that just hangs.
[TouchPad General] dmarchant:
I just set Internalz to Master Mode in the Preferences (at the bottom) and I could edit. I am not running Imposter so don't know if that has an effect.
[TouchPad General] dluik:
thanks for this info, this was bugging me and your fix has worked a treat :-)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
I would say no since once the protector is removed its just glass. I took my factory installed protector off around 2-3 months ago and i have no scratches. I keep my phone in the same pocket everytime with nothing else in there to avoid scratching the screen. If your worried leave the factory fitted screen protector on and it should be fine.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excession3105:
Not much to say really. I have removed the factory fitted screen protector (around 2 months ago) and even though i have my phone with no case and in whichever pocked I can reach, no scratches. It does seem that it becomes even more of a finger print magnet (if that is even possible!). It may not be officially scratch resistant, but it does take some doing, even with the abuse I give it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripley6:
Took off factory screen protector about 2months ago when I got the phone. No scratches so far. I do put in my pocket with nothing else just to be sure, but then I have done this with any of my touch screen phones.

Thanks for all the responses. I am currently using the Droid Incredible and I really love not having a screen protector on it and I can't believe how scratch resistant it is.

I know that the Xperia Play doesn't use Gorilla Glass but on their specs it mentions scratch resistant screen. I just didn't know how resistant it really is.

But i'm still going to get it in a month because I really want the game pad feature of it.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
I think you just aren't quite as observant and can't notice them on your "perfect" screen. I swapped out a problematic phone for a new one and wiped it with a screen wipe before installing a protector and even that left small permanent scratches. There is no way to avoid it with that film.
