[Motorola Droid Bionic] xdabigsite:
I recently got a Bionic XT875 Screen Guard on eBay and installed it and it looked BEAUTIFUL!! But PROBLEM! The day after, I started having a blackened screen when dialing calls. I blamed it on software, dialers, then the phone. So much so, I reset it all back to default on my Bionic. Still, blacked out as soon as call tried to connect!!

Finally, regretting the ruin on my screen protector, I peeled back and cut off the top 1/4" of the plastic and reseated it. Up just over to the right of the Motorola logo there are 2 sensor openings barely visible.

After wiping the newly exposed surface where the sensors reside, I tested some calls, My calls are displaying normally again!!! This sensor problem, it seems, is notorious on the Internet with smartphones and I think many are missing the real cause. I believe a microscopic speck of dirt or chemicals on the plastic were `de-sensitizing` the accuracy of the sensor as if a finger was being pressed on it. When darkened, it thinks the phone is up to the ear and blanks the screen.

I thought a post of this problem might alert others on the Bionic since many screen guards and covers go over the sensors. I am gong to buy another one, but before application I am going to cleanly cut off the top part in a better way than the chopping I did to fix this problem. I think many posts online of folks returning their phones for blacked-out screens and dialing sleep problems are really this instead. Hope this helps any other Bionic owners.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Geezer Squid:
Good catch and thanks for posting!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MichaelMcC:
The ones from Verizon for the Bionic don't cover them, actually they only cover the screen itself and not the entire face. I was lucky to have gotten it put on with the purchase or I may have been having the same issue, thanks

I have Zagg's invisable shield. It has a cutout around the sensors.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] effinay:
Otterbox Defender also has the cutouts around the sensors.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheBiles:
I highly recommend Zagg. This is the best screen protector I've ever used.

I got used to the possibility to shoot panorama pics with auto mode with my s3370 and my moto flipout.

Is this possible here ?

I mean the function 'press camera button once' and then just turn the camera around.

Thought samsung was offering it on all its devices now

Is this gonna be a wp7 or samsung app ?

Found it under photo studio.

Hello all,

I just received the HTC sensation and noticed when I finished making a phone call and hung up, the phone makes an odd sound. I dont know how to describe the sound other then it sounds like the sound a sunshine would make. I say that because i think it may be the weather sounds the phone makes but under settings i have the sound turned off. Also why would it make it after i make a phone call? Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your reply!
[Verizon Droid Charge] da2zoe:
Hey all...so I am seeing conflicting information around about returning to stock (rts). I'd like some input about the best method...I'll try to explain this so it makes sense. LOL.

So my question is basically this: Why would someone use ED1 vs ED2 vs EE4?? I know ALL these files get the job done but now that the Charge has been out for a while, is is it really necessary to go back to ED1 then OTA to EE4?

I'd also like to know the deal with PIT files. I know EE4 is a full package. There is no mention of the PIT in EE4 instructions yet I see people recommend it further down in the thread postings. As a note: I understand the PIT is for repartitioning. But I've also seen posts where people have flashed to ED1 and not used the PIT at all (never have) and their phones work fine.

Thanks in advance for any input. That was tricky as hell to write out so I hope it makes sense!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
EE4 is simply the most up to date firmware (what will be on it if you bought it today for example), some people choose to go back to older, albeit still working, roms like ED1/ED2 by choice or personal preference then OTA update to EE4... as for the PIT file yes it is a repartitioning tool/file that will convert your four main system partitions back to stock RFS format (voodoo will convert them to the speedier EXT4 format), Odin sometimes won't do this itself or its used if you're trying to restore a phone from a bad flash
[Verizon Droid Charge] rj57:
EE4 or ED1 will both get you to stock. I have used both multiple times without problems. One nice thing about using ED1 and then doing the OTA is that it is definitely stock. Since there have been no OTA updates since EE4 it is hard to tell if the EE4 package is good enough to take an official update.

EE4 has the advantage as it will save about 20 minutes.

The PIT is necessary to return to stock RFS formatted partitions if you have ever used lagfix.

Just disabling lagfix and running on that may result in frequent file system issues in the cache and data partitions. This is due in part to the disable lagfix formatting using invalid cluster sizes on FAT16 format operations.

Sometimes you can get away without the PIT and have no problems. Other times you may get bootloops or worse.

[Verizon Droid Charge] da2zoe:
Thank you so much for your answers! I have flashed a lot of things since I got my Charge and want to rts for a clean slate before trying another GB rom. My phone has been acting a little strange with random FCs so I wanted to know the best method.

To be clear, do I need to use the PIT with the EE4 package? Than if that doesn't "take" then I'd go to ED1 + PIT? I personally wouldn't choose ED2 just because it's not a VZ official release and just makes sense to choose one of the others over the ED2.

Yes, I have had voodoo lagfix so I would need the PIT to repartition from my EXT4 setup. But I am also very active on another site for the Charge and I've had people ask what to do to fix their phone. So that's another reason I wanted to have an understanding of which file to start from in those cases.

Thanks again!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] rj57:
The procedure that imnuts wrote up at the following link is what I use. The ED1 and PIT files linked in the post work well. Give it some time if it stops before calling it a fail. It will probably format the internal sdcard on the first boot and may throw some movicheck errors. That is ok.

I have never had the procedure fail on the first try. The key thing is to not rush it and don't panic if it fails to boot. You could try EE4+PIT if ED1 fails but it is probably 50-50 if that would work any better,

I did the procedure above with the EE4 file. I had a few failed Odin's and would not boot. The EE4 and pit fixed it up. I have been getting the popping and static on my phone since moving to the GB leaks. Even went back to the EE4 modem. Been thinking of going all the way back to EE4 to see if it would fix it.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I've flashed a bunch of ROM's and enjoy different aspects of all of them, but I am starting to zero down to what I really want. Can anyone suggest a really themed out Sense ROM (3.0 or 3.5) that is overclocked? I love the Engery ROM, but it seems slow and pretty laggy compared to other ROM's. I love SelfKang CM7, but miss Sense. I really want alot of blue, like blue battery and WiFi icons. Any recommendations? I am about flashed out and just want to stick with one for awhile. Thanks folks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatgenius:
So I rooted my phone yesterday using Zedomax kernel v3 on a Mac using terminal. I then stupidly tried to wipe data and cache because of an error message I was receiving. After doing so couldn't get my phone to but up until I restored using Zedomax restore file posted in another thread. After restoring I then reinstalled the Zedomax kernel v3 using CWM and now I get an error message around Talk not being able to authenticate. I looked into some of the other threads and really only found the solution of rooting back to stock using the ACS kernel and couldn't get my phone to ever actually boot back up. I could only get the phone to boot up and stay on the vanilla android logo. So long story short what are my options to get this fixed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dallastx:
Go to menu- settings- Applications - manage applications- running services- CLICK ALL TAB- scroll down and find Google service framework. Now clear the cache. Restart the phone and you should ever have this issue again. If you still have the issue, wipe phone and reinstall v3 or v4 and wipe Google framework and problem will definitely be fixed. And yes it could be restoring apps or ROM that's causing the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatgenius:
Thanks, I did this and it seems to be working for now. We will see how long it lasts, hopefully it does.

So all of my previous HTC phones have received the microSD to SD Frankenstein mod, and Yes, they all loved it.

Today , I have passed it on to the newer,faster,smarter and sexier android device, the Samsung Galaxy S II aka Samsung Epic 4G Touch on the Sprint Network. I have transition the modification of the MicroSD to SD , for the device to receive bigger storage for whatever purpose it has. Class 10 Kingston 64GB SD Card.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
I'm curious too, so did you hack the back cover somehow?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
You could use an extended battery door cover instead.

This is an interesting mod but with micro SDXC available it'll only be a short while before people are using 64GB cards that actually fit into the microSD slot. There was already a review of the 64GB micro SDXC showing that it worked without any mods in the Galaxy SII...

True but $200
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
Actually it's $219.99 + 6.00 s&h but it won't make your $499 phone look like garbage.

I like how thin this phone is. I guess ill wait to see if the price drops on the other cards. I have my 8G card from my evo so 24G of storage should hold me for a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
When we get an extended battery cover, this should be a more viable offering. I can't see cutting into the stock battery cover with or without a case. But an extended definitely should have the room.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VonLaserface:
I half considered giving the original back a little bump mod fashioned from fiberglass but I can't find any replacement backs online just yet.

I'll wait for the extended battery covers to start showing up and go to town on a Dremel with that instead. Far cheaper and less risk of doom that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
can you post pics, of what it looks like

i can easily glass a new back, I just wanted to see how bulky it got

also what are the costs of each part?

I use my phone as a media storage so having the extra space would be nice for me personally
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I have an Acura, and every bluetooth phone I have had in the past I could pair with the car, and plug in an Aux line to the headphone jack to listen to music, then if a call came in, it would come through my spearkers.

Now with the EP4g, it comes through the speakers, but no one can hear me, and I can't hear them until I unplug the aux line.

Anyone else have a problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
i had a conference call on my phone in the car via my AUX input today. The parties were heard through the speakers of the car and they were able to hear me, but complained about a really bad echo and that I was VERY hard to hear. These in car conference calls were fine on my EVO with the same setup. I have not tried the in car bluetooth yet as I didn't think I would need it. Will be trying that next.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
Just did a test with my Nissan and had to pull out the AUX cable before I could hear the other end on my speakers. The other end said they could hear me the entire time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Something is going on with the aux cable. I really like the phone, but I don't like trying to figure **** out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrloserpunk:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1291889

I was under the impression that the mic becomes disabled when the AUX cable is in. Had similar behavior on my old Palm Centro. It went into "headset" mode and the mic turned off. In my thread, someone said that it is working fine. Perhaps there is something else causing it?

Do you use or does the Samsung voice dial app automatically launch when you put your aux cable in? Mine does. The mic does not work for it either. Maybe its the culprit?

***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****

Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Its just an aux cable, no mic to it. I plug it in and dont see anything in the status bar and no apps launch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrloserpunk:
Right, but when the AUX cable is put in, the Microphone on the epic is disabled, at least that's my working theory. IDK, maybe its just something with mine, but at the moment, no-one can hear me when the aux cable is installed, and i cannot use the voice search applications :(

***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****

Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I will give that a try, any idea what that mode does? Manual doesn't really help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrloserpunk:
VCO stands for Voice carry over. I could be wrong on the exact purpose, but i understand that it is designed to allow those with hearing impediments but capable of speaking to use their own voice while their speaker is hooked up to another device to assist in hearing.

Basically, it keeps the microphone on the device "ON" while the audio is outputted to another device. In our case, the car speakers.

Otherwise, when the device is outputting audio, it is looking for another source of voice input. If you car had a hands-free option built in, it would work just fine without changing the setting as the voice input would be coming from the hands free option.

Just a guess really. Glad its working for me, hope it works for you! :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Yes it wierd, My car does have bluetooth built in, but when the aux cable is plugged in it doesn't send sound to the handsfree. Not sure what the issue is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aktruong:
Can anyone also confirm that this works?

I have an iphone 4s right now, but I really want to go back to android and get a GSII, but that bluetooth problem was a big hassle when I had the Epic 4G. However, with the Epic 4G, someone wrote an app that would allow you to reroute sound through bluetooth with the aux was plugged in. I'm hoping there's a fix out there...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
I use my Transformer most of the day and usually charge once a day, just to keep the dock ready to roll.

My WiFi disconnect policy is set to "Never", and generally have stuff like IM, Bluetooth (for TexTab), Samba, a music stream, and multiple OpenSSH connections running at all times. I use the dock excessively at work and mostly undocked at home. From use a `traditional` netbook, e-reader, terminal, notes taker, and occasional compile job: by the bed time I will usually have 65% to 85% charge left on the tablet depending on how heavily I've been using the touch screen.

I'm getting at least 12-14 hours a day out of my transformer, most of it almost constant usage as above + the rest when idle. What are others here seeing versus what kind of usage?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicdave26:
Constant use, screen full brightness, WiFi on, Games, Browsing etc

Around 7-8 hours Tablet only.

Moderate use with WiFi set to turn off when the screen does, Well over 14 hours, probably more.

Screen half brightness, Not much use, Had over 2 days.

Full charge, left turned on but asleep with WiFi off - , just sitting on my desk doing nothing.

More than 7 days

I know because I have a battery widget that graphs the use so I could check when I turned it back on.
