[Galaxy S II General] poults:
I got pushed in a paddling pool with my gs2 and have had to have it repaired but not under the warranty. Been without it nearly 2 weeks and feel like i have lost a limb! Just clucking to get flashing tomorrow again at last lol.
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
how much did u pay for the repair?
[Galaxy S II General] poults:
Cost £75 for mainboard repairs.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
That's actually not bad, considering the phone went for a little swim.
[Galaxy S II General] poults:
It was all working fine until i factory reset and got a boot loop and odin wouldnt detect it and i didcovered i didnt have a back up on there. Tried all the tricks of cleaning the usb port but to no avail so i sent it to a samsung repairer in kent.

[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
I would be interested to know if/how it is possible to access the IR blaster in code. As far as I can see there is no native support for IR devices Android (unlike things such as Bluetooth). Any ideas about how I might be able to send commands to the IR blaster in an App? I have experience making apps but no idea how to access hardware that is not supported by default in the SDK.
[Sony Tablet S] ftballguy45:
IR development access

I too would like to know about this. Im on the verge of buying a tablet S but I am wanting to know about IR code access, and the Playstation Suite SDK (which is supposedly for C# devs like me :) )
[Sony Tablet S] xaviorffviii:
Agreed, I'd like to create a customizable widget for the remote control app.

If anyone finds out let me know
[Sony Tablet S] sixthday:
I also like to know the api for their docking
[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
I have submitted a request to Sony for information on development for the IR blaster, maybe if enough people do the same then information and a library for accessing it will be released. :rolleyes:

[General Questions and Answers] JustSomeGeek:
Hi folks,

I've had an HTC Desire-Z / Vision for a few months now and i mostly hate it, and the Android apps, so i'm giving it to the wife and going back to my HTC Athena for now. The worst of it seems to be that everything these days involves poking sausage fingers onto a shiny screen which has led to really simple, boring apps & games. A waste of a hi-res screen. I miss the precision of a stick with decent apps & games etc.

The problem is that now i'm back to where i was a year ago, looking at what to get next. The only device i can find that appeals to my inner geek seems to be the HTC Shift, but i've read so many bad reviews. :-/

So where to now? I want something fun, small(ish) & geeky with a phone function.

Thanks for any input guys! :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Frosty666:
[GUIDE] Remove xLoud to save your speakers

There have been several reports about people blowing out their speaker in their phone due to xLoud. Just have a look HERE and HERE. xLoud was not designed for the x10, and that's probably because the X10 loudspeaker can't handle it. I've decided to make a quick guide explaining how to permanently disable the monster we call xLoud to keep your speaker alive.

Here we go:

1. Disable xLoud in Settings > Sound.

2. Go to /system/build.prop and open it using Root Explorer or a similar root file manager app.

3. Find the line:

ro.semc.xloud.supported=true

4. Change the "true" to "false" like so:

ro.semc.xloud.supported=false

5. Save and Close the file, and delete "build.prop.bak" as it is not needed. If you want xLoud in the future, just change it to "true" again.

6. Reboot, and enjoy happy speakers.

And there you have it, your sensitive loudspeaker is safe. Don't forget to hit "Thanks". :)

As scoobysnacks pointed out, yes you could just un-check xLoud in settings and leave it at that, but hey, that's too easy :D

- Frosty
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
I keep it just to show off to my friends that I have it :D
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
A guide?

You could also just uncheck the box :?
[XPERIA X10 General] Frosty666:
If that's all you want to do, then just leave it at that. No one's stopping you.

I, and a few others, wanted to remove the option completely, so I made a guide showing how to do that. I have OCD, you see :D
[XPERIA X10 General] xperiax7:
I can't live without music. Ty for info!!
[XPERIA X10 General] deveron3:
Not to be a git to the people who HAVE had problems, but I've had xloud enabled since it was ported to the x10, and have had 0 problems with my speaker.( we're talking full volume for the better part of the day, every day)

So, do I have an extraordinarily tough speaker, or extraordinarily good luck?
[XPERIA X10 General] NFSC31:
Already disabled, i love my speaker :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Mayazcherquoi:
xLoud only enhances your loudspeaker, not the speaker which you hear from during a call. The "loudspeaker" is the speaker which is heard when music is played or you turn speaker phone on.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Ringtone and notification too though...

That was where I heard it crackling
[XPERIA X10 General] apioLo:
i have flashed the xLoud on my X10 and enabled it after i installed it, but then the xLoud with enable/disable dissapeared from Settings > Sound :(

What can i do? I have T.E.A.M. rom and heard that there are some interferences between the rom and xLoud.

Any help ?
[XPERIA X10 General] 28spawn:
The easiest way to disable forever it is deleting the libxloudwrapper.so from /system/lib/soundfx

Bye.
[XPERIA X10 General] apioLo:
It sais: Error deleting file :( It may be because xLoud is enabled? And i also can't modify the build.prop file. I think from the same reason. Any alternative? I cannot disable xLoud because it is missing from Settings > Sound
[XPERIA X10 General] 'Bashy':
Use Root Explorer and mount Read/Write. Can be found in the market. Hope this helps

just a question wanna ask:)

is the kernel of GSM and CDMA is different?

thanks:)
[HTC EVO 3D] 123bart8:
I am just a noob so I could be wrong but I think yes, because I asked the developer of the MIUI rom for the cdma version if he could port it to the gsm version but he couldn't because htc hasn't release the kernel source for the gsm version. :( I hope it doesn't take long until they release it :P

Hi

I use the trial version of ANDROID-SYNC (only for 20 contacts and 20 calendar entries to sync) and it seems to work fine.

Device: htc Topaz

OS: FroYo FRX 07.1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OndrejP:
Android sync supports only contacts and calendar and is extremely expensive for almost no features. If somebody prefers waste money then rather those apps I mentioned (although in case of companionlnk one will pay with support more than Outlook price, which is beyond insane for some trvial app cost more than Outllok itself)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helmet68:
@ondrejP

maybe that people want only to sync contacts and calendar. And what kind of use has a programm that is for free but do not work whis the system you have (office 2003).

by the way i took a look at local sync and it seams to be a good work. If my office will be upgreated i try it again.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsh210:
Same result

My battery is still being very nice to me as well.

I do have to say, running a custom ROM makes a world of difference. I have been running Bonsai, SR Frozen, and currently Simply AOSP, and get awesome battery life.

I went back to stock once to test a new ROM, and immediately remembered why I switched. After 5 hours of having my phone unplugged and just sitting in my pocket, I was down to 60% battery. Samsung should really catch on and throw some improvements into their stock ROM and then maybe it could actually be considered an improvement over vanilla Android.

it says to download 3 files psneuter busybox and super user unzip the downloads into the same folder. then it says to open a terminal and change to the folder i dont understand this what am i suposed to to? it then says i need android sdk installed and working witch i do i installed it for android screencast. then it says adb devices but does not say how im suposed to enter this command. after that im fairly sure its from the cmd entering the commands shown on that link. can anyone tell me how to get throgh the first few steps please?

copyed from link

Manual Root

[edit] Download

psneuter: Download

Superuser: Download

busybox: Download

Unzip the downloaded files into the same folder

Open a terminal and change to the folder.

You need the android SDK and ADB working. To make sure type:

adb devices

if your device lists, then you are ready to go!

[edit] Gain Root

Run the following commands:

adb push psneuter /data/local/temp/psneuter

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/temp/psneuter

./data/local/temp/psneuter

ADB should hang, wait a little while and then type:

adb shell

NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.

Type:

exit

adb push busybox /data/local/temp/busybox

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/temp/busybox

./data/local/temp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

The last command should return nothing

here is what i did. u will need the downloads from both links for this to work i beleive. follow the steps from the second link to gain root once u get to where the number simbole is shown in the command line u need to switch to the instructions in link 1 and start at step 13 and follow to the end. this works to root your flipside when nothing els will work at least for me it did none of the apps that are suposed to root for you worked for me.

Problem rooting

I rooted my Flipside at its stock state and it worked fine. And then I upgraded my software to 2.2.2 Froyo and lost the root so now I am trying to reinstall z4root and re-root the phone but z4root now doesn't work. It gets successfully installed but when I hit PERMANENT ROOT it just stays in that window with the turning wheel and gets stuck there. It doesn't completely root. I've tried the hard reset by pulling the battery, and hitting the back key and forced closing it and then trying it again. Nothing works! HELP!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jovanphilip:
I once had a flipside. I rooted it the stock rom and then updated to gingerbread and then rooted again. I used superoneclick though. I'm not sure which version, but there is (or was) a flipside forum here on xda with documentation on the entire process.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Windows Mobile 7.5? You must mean Windows Phone 7.5, since the former does not exist. Haha.

You'll need to side-load a file explorer application. Your device needs to be developer unlocked in order to do this.

Otherwise, the phone itself will not recognize any of the files that you put on the card, as it was not designed to do this.

Hi Guys,

Is anyone else having the following issues? I can't seem to see it elsewhere (and can't search too well with tapatalk).

When a message is sent, it holds the timestamp of the tablet - the correct time.

When a reply is received, from anyone, the timestamp shows the reply being 1 hour earlier and all replies clump together above the sent messages.

Also, Gtalk disconnects every couple of minutes, and I have to sign in again.

This has affected me on 8.1 and now 9n.

Am I the only one? Is there a fix?

Thanks!

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The usual reason for random reboots is an incompatible mod or add-on.

Also,if you have upgraded from an earlier ROM and not done a Superwipe.

Or maybe using Titanium Backup to restore "SYSTEM DATA" from an older ROM using a different base.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
It's probably kernel related, try to lower your overclock to 1.2Ghz in Daemon Controller or try another kernel, if so try Unity, I did resolved my bootloops issue with those.

Don't forget to remove virtuous_oc files if you decide to change kernel. See attachment for exact file name.

[HTC Sensation] pmbldc:
Try a different radio. Some radio may result in rebooting. You just need to flash a stable radio or flash the radio by the instruction given by who release it. I know that some radio may cause reboot problem without correct installation.
[HTC Sensation] losguy:
I am getting the random reboots and I am not sure the explanations given so far have answered the problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013ZWYXAR and I installed Revolution HD 9.0 to a clean machine without issues. I don't think the rebooting issue is from incompatibility unless the Rom is incompatible with the devices it was created for as I have the system rebooting after rebooting with seconds of the first reboot. So if it is an incompatibility issue it is because the Rom is incompatible with the phones or tablets that the Rom was made for. I have a clean system with just the Revolution HD Rom and the files supplied and it still reboots. As far as the over heating goes I am not sure that is really the issue also as both the screen and the back are not hot in any way when it reboots.
