[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
Actually it has nothing to do with a battery..

It's just a metal conductor touching your fingers with a large contact area, you could use a frozen sausage!

Use the back of a teaspoon on the screen and it works just as well!

Take care though, the metal can easily scratch the screen.

Best thing to do is attach a small piece of conductive foam (the soft black kind that delicate IC's are sold in) to the top of the pen. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kardain:
I will somewhat disagree.

While the pen may act as a conductor, holding the pen with a pair of insulated pliers and using it upside down also works. Thus, it is the battery as well :)

Sometimes I shouldn't be allowed to play with stuff when I get bored.

Regardless, it is a neat unintended feature
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
Agreed, it will work this way due to negative charge on capacitive coupling but we always look at MISS (Make it simple, stupid!)

If i can explain to readers, a better use of their pen with a nice bit of conductive foam on the top (EVEN if the battery is missing or completely flat) then that is the best option in my opinion, no need for confrontation. :)

Oh, BTW, your choice of pliers will have an effect on your experiment! If they have any metal content, the capacitive coupling pick-up from your hand is increased, just try it with non-conductive plastic tweezers/forceps and it won't work... We ain't talkin miiliamps here, were talkin nanoamps...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
List if things that worked

1 frozen sausage

2 popcicle

3 Starbucks straw with frapp in it

4 back of pen with battery taken out

5 sweat from my face from laughing so hard

Ps this all works on my EVO 3d as well
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nawlage:
Neat that those things work and all, but how cumbersome is it to use

some hulking monstrosity as a makeshift stylus that is intended to be used for delicate/precise touches such as drawing? Wrap a leaf blower in foil and connect that to 300 feet of copper wire which is spun around your body and leave a length of wire as long as your finger coming off the top of your hand and you don't even have to hold it!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gotmilk702:
Yep this is a little old-- New news is that when Honeycomb drops it's supposed to have support for the pen tip to be used as the stylus.

Hi

Now I am absolutely stock as You can see I update my S2 via Kies and now I have KI3. I decide to root my device in oder to get all cool fetures :D as CWM and so on. But I am a lit bit disapointed with my battery life so I though that I can try to flash KI8.

1. I think I will use this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 but I don't understand diffrence between Frankenstein Firmwares and officials. Maybe someone could explain?

2. As I mention before I updated via Kies to KI3 so I have new bootloader or not which you can't reset with Jig or not? If I have it can I still flash this one:

Firmware info

PDA:XWKI8

PHONE: XXKI4

Date: 28/09/2011

Android 2.3.5

Why Phone and PDA are diffrent?

NEE (Nordic Region): http://www.multiupload.com/XPF31ATMO4

XWKI8 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/4O6DVGUGSU

Password: intratech@X

And if I flash it I will have my native language on the phone (Lithuanian) or not?

3. Now then I reset my my phone as it was made it changes language to Polish and it's polish on the first boot how to make that Lithuanish would be the default language despite the wipe?

4. Imagine that I flash new firmeware KI8, and now I have to root. I think I will use this guide to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

And what is diffrent between ChainFire's or Odia's insecure kernels. Where get those?

For now that is all :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nepyk:
1. I am new one so this post isn't clear for me. Maybe you could explain.

2. so I have new bootloader. If I flash KI8 fireware I will have the bootloader which I can reset with jig?

3. So for rooting I should use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 this tutorial instead of my first one and with CF KI8 I will get CWM and SU already?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cassielx:
My phone only seems to charge once in every session, as soon as I unplug it, it won't charge again until i've done a total reboot. Is this a common problem that can be fixed?

This happens both through usb on the computer and when plugged into the supplied wall charger.

Very strange behaviour and I wonder if anyone else has come across this or if it's an issue that needs to send the 2day old phone back!

The little lightening indicator and light come on with no problem first time round, but if I unplug (no matter where in the charge cycle) plugging it in again does no good. On the second connection, the phone is still recognising that it is connected to the computer, I can get to the sd card and all the connection windows pop up, red led on the side of the phone etc but no lightening indicator in the icon and the gauge batter widget indicates discharging.

I'm also seeing battery draining much, much faster than i expected, from 100% to 18% from 8am to 11am with some light browsing the only use.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Did you already try to update it or reflash to see if that fixes the issue?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cassielx:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexiseurope:
Hello people!

I have a Galaxy S2 from the carrier Three in Sweden. The latest firmware is a KF4 2.3.3 and I have a lot of problems with it... I have the typical battery drain because of Android OS, a lot of known games freeze frequently and the phone gets too warm at the up left corner. As I understood by reading the forums those issues could be solved with a better firmware right?

Well I asked Three about when they would introduce a new firmware and they told me that they are testing a new one now and during the middle of the month it would be available to us. He also mentioned that it would be a 2.3.5 version.

My big question is: Do I stay with Three or should I return the phone and cancel the 2 year subscription? I only have a couple of days left to decide... So far Three proved to be very slow in firmware updates and unreliable.

I didn't want to try to update with Odin because I don't want something to go wrong and if I have to return to a Three firmware and return it for any reason I will have to buy a jig right?

I also thought that maybe I can return it and wait for a Galaxy Prime..?

What do you think?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexiseurope:
So if I flash an official rom with Odin and not rooting I don't need a jig? That's good to clarify.. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexiseurope:
Ok I flashed the new XWKI8 and the phone is how it is supposed to be..! ;-)

The battery is really good and the phone is much faster! I am going to keep the phone and the subscription!

I think I will not flash again Three's firmware, only if I have to send the phone for servixe or something...

Does anyone have the Stock Rom 3.2.2 for the Xoom, post 4G LTE update?

My Xoom was being worked on at a Verizon retailer for connectivity issues and somehow managed to be rolled back to 3.2

I Have now completely lost the ability to connect to 3G as well and was given a new SIM card to help remedy the problem so now my Xoom will not activate since the 4G modem is no longer detected. I have put a call into Motorola and I'm supposedly getting a call back next week so they can schedule another RMA for me to send in my tablet. My theory is if I can get 3.2.2 back on the 4G modem will become available and my tablet will be able to re-activate it self.

If anyone can provide me with a stock 3.2.2 Rom something that can be flashed via fastboot would be great.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

FYI, I do not want the 3.2.2 rooted Rom that is out there. I want a stock unmodified version.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Dude just root it! Your gonna have to change the LCD density anyway cuz Google changed it on us when they installed 3.2.2. I have been back and fourth with them on the fact that they did it. I can't download apps that I paid for now! They keep trying to tell me to ask the developers for a refund. I have asked motor for the stock imgs, but they said it can't be released right now. They also said they are trying to find out why Google changed the density when it has nothing to do with the 4g upgrade. You have to either send it in which the Verizon idiots downgraded you for what who knows. This could cause an issue for your warranty. Or just root it and save having to ship it out. Right now that is the only 2 options we have.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevefxp:
Just an FYI that if you use the rooted 3.2.2 image you will lose wifi. Its prevalent now in that thread.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordon12393:
So as it stands now I have applied 3.2.2 + Root. It does not appear to be the same Rom that my Xoom shipped with there are a few menus that are either different or missing. I also now have a Xoom that has no 3G, 4G, or WiFi connectivity. I'm on the phone now with Motorola trying to get them to do an RMA on it. I will roll it back to 3.2 before shipping because I can find that posted on Motorola's dev site. That's also the version of ROM my Xoom was showing when I called my case into Motorola.

Let's see how this goes.

This did not work either. It looked promising because there was a update that it downloaded after I applied the Rom but then it came back with no 3G/4G and the menu options still look different. The one good thing is that I have WiFi back.

FYI, I went to a Verizon store just a few moments ago and they are stumped as to why my 3G/4G hasn't returned so they are going to warranty replace it. I also have noticed that now when I remove the SIM card it does not do anything. When I first got the Xoom back with the 4G chip if the SIM card was removed it would complain saying no card detected, now it's as if there is no detection happening. Not sure if that piece of information may be significant for someone else having the same problem as me.

Thanks for all your help everyone.

So I am on cm7 and it says h in the too corned and sometimes 3g. On stock it only says 3g. Does that mean on certain roms you get 4g speeds and on others you don't?
[Captivate General] capocaccia:
No. The captivate won't ever be able to use 4g. The hspa network is pretty much the same as 3G.
[Captivate General] gregnetz18:
Technicaly the 4g speeds are that hspa thing I thought. Isn't Lte something different?
[Captivate General] capocaccia:
No. They are different. Imagine that hspa+ is faster than 3G but not 4g so it's more like 3.5g. It is faster than regular 3G but your phone still doesn't have the hardware for the 4g network.

Read about the networks here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access
[Captivate General] kangi26:
AT&T is calling their 4G, 4G, but technically there is NOTHING running 4G. For AT&T, 3G is capable of HSDPA(Download). 4G is the addition of HSUPA(Upload).

For our Captivates, specifically custom ROM's. Captivate based ROM's do NOT have HSUPA. i9000 based ROM's DO have HSUPA.

To answer your question, CM7 is a i9000 ROM and is running "4G"

And yes, LTE is something completely different

[Captivate General] ag4vr:
The AT&T roms don't make any distinction between HSDPA (which shows as "H" on CM7) and UMTS (which shows as "3G"). So on an AT&T ROM you will only see "3G". Both are 3G as far as AT&T is concerned.

Is there any chance of your creating links to Tasker? Call Master seems to be the only call blocker that can intercept calls before they ring. Tasker is more flexible in what it can do. If Call Master could inform Tasker of incoming calls in time for Tasker to react before it rings, I'd happily pay a license for Call Master solely for that reason.
