[T-Mobile LG G2x] NornIron Legend:
That would make sense.. it never bothers me as you only see it in direct sunlight and at a stupid angle.

I have never seen it during normal use even in bright light.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Yes that is exactly what I was talking about. The sensors make sense actually, never thought of that. Doesn't bother me either, was just wondering if it was only my screen.

Thanks guys! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Ohh! Haha, EVERY phone has that! Even the eyePhone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
haha this is the first time I've ever seen it. At first I thought I was seeing things because everyone else I showed the phone to couldn't see anything :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
Thats the proximity sensor and the light sensor. Cover the sensor with your finger, Screen brightness will change if you have auto brightness enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NightH4wk12:
no hes not talking about those. it's already been answered

Reflection under glass
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aceofserenity:
Not the oval thing on the top beside the logo, on the actual capacitive screen itself.

I think the dots are just used for the capacitive screen to work. Also, I've noticed that connecting the dots on each line is a horizontal line on each row. I only saw this when putting it next to my lamp thou.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Yes I saw those lines as well! Had to hold it up to a very bright light lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BIGWORM:
At the right angle, the reflection from the sun will shot the dots. It's the digitizer, and it looks cool to me. =D
[Galaxy S II General] Perperz:
hi, i want to move from galnet to exynos extreme.

I didn't understand how should i flash the rom to my phone.

do i need to wipe it manualy or the base system wipes it automaticaly?

do i need to perform any kind of wipe or backup?

can you write me the steps?

thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Has Exynos got no instructions ????

Suggest you go to the Exynos post and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS .

They are written down if you cannot follow the instructions do not flash the rom until you are able to understand .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Perperz:
I read the instructions.

do i need to do the very first time instructions or first time instructions?

and how do i flash the system base? just install zip from sd card and then choose the system base.zip file?

tnx
[Galaxy S II General] rich345:
Be first time, base 3.5 is wipe, then let the phone boot, then back to cwm and flasg 7.1.5 :)

all done :D
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
if you cannot follow the instructions do not flash the rom until you are able to understand .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Perperz:
tnx mate :)

but how do i wipe with the base 3.5?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
First of all download Exynos Base System: (this will wipe all your data)

If you don't understand what's written dont flash .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Perperz:
i just dont understand how do i need to flash the base system...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cobra281:
what is the ideal resolution that we should use for the G2, so that the image will be displayed as best as possible? i have a lot of wallpapers on my desktop that i'd like to use that are 1280x____ or higher, so obviously those won't work. thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DurbanPoison24:
960x800 works best for me and is probably the standard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
There's an app called Wallpaper Set & Save free on the Market. It does a much better job than the native option. Highly recommend it. I usually use very high resolution images. 1200x____.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTF?:
I'm gonna have to disagree with the previous posters here - the best resolution for any display, whether phone, computer, or whatever is always the native resolution of the display, and in your case that would be 800x480 pixels.

just take any wallpaper you like that is larger than that and crop it until it is some multiple of that, i.e. the aspect ratio is 5x3 and then resize from there to the 800x480 size.

so, for example, a wallpaper that is say 1200x720 is already the correct aspect ratio and ready to be resized by any imaging program such as irfanview, takes about 5 seconds, and if it's a jpg, then convert to png file first so you don't lose resolution during the resize.

or you could just look in google images for "800x480 wallpaper" and you might get lucky and find one that is already the correct size that you like, and then you are ready to go.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
I was just stating my experience. I always use photographs that are very high resolution. I apply them with the application I mentioned previously, and they look sharp. I know nothing more about how or why it works, but it works. Images of lower resolution, for instance 480X800, the native resolution of our device, always appear somewhat blurry. Perhaps you can elaborate on this...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Actually this is correct, because the vast majority of launchers support scrolling wallpapers the wallpaper needs to be larger than the native resolution of the phone.

But if you have wallpaper scrolling disabled or are running a sense 3 rom the best of bet is to use a wallpaper that matches your screens resolution
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
Okay, that makes sense... I do have scrolling enabled. Thanks cjward23. :)

Hi All

Basically the title explains it all really.

I got myself a couple of cheap USB cables to charge my Desire Z and for data transfer use and they were ok for a while but now they only want to charge unless I manage to find the exact sweetspot of the connector/lead and hold it there, which is getting harder and harder.

Can anyone recommend any decent quality but reasonably priced leads I can get?

BTW I'm in the uk, so uk sellers would be best.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killj0y:
I got some blackberry cables and they are sturdy as all hell, plus long too, and affordable and everywhere lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] redpoint73:
HTC OEM cables seem sturdy. I have some older ones (although they are Mini-USB, not Micro-USB) that are as old as 4 years, and they still work.

You can find the HTC OEM cables on eBay for as cheap as $4 with free shipping in the US. I would imagine at least some of those vendors also ship to UK.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] GinoAMelone:
I like the several Nokia-branded cables I have lying around from old phones. They seem to be a sturdy cable, but somewhat more flexible than thick/sturdy cables tend to be.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MarkyG82:
I have a nokia cable I got from a market stall type bricks and mortar shop (only way I can describe it). It has a clip built in to hold it when its coiled up, very robust and cost me 7 quid ish. Can't really remember the price exactly as it was a couple of years ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] antinerd:
I 2nd that! Been using blackberry cables for years (both mini and micro USB) and I have yet to break one.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] valve90210:
thanks for the ideas guys I shall check out blackberry leads, got to be better than the flimsy ones I got before.

I did look for HTC ones but with postage from htc it was going to cost something like £17...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jaszek:
Another vote for the Nokia cables.

Default HTC cable, seems very hard to break
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jimbobvfr400:
I'll also throw Asda in the mix. I have an Asda cable that's been brilliant.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] EndOfSource:
HTC OEM cables seem sturdy. I have mine now for about a year, and its working properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] skinnyveganboy:
BEST cable I ever used was one I bought from the DOLLAR TREE here in california. it's very sturdy and the micro usb's connection is still tight. It's made by "E Circuit" and is in a blue and white bag. i have no qualms with this cable. If you don't have a dollar tree or your dollar tree doesn't carry them PM me and I'll send you one.

And I could not get my gmail accounts to sync because I didn't flash the google add-ons lol...( I haven't rooted or flashed for a long while now)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomD21:
Yeah, *228 never worked for me on CM7 either. I even flashed a new modem with an EFS wipe
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfobrien:
I have read somewhere on here before that it does work just reports on the phone it failed. I just did it to test and the system voice advised it was successful but phone advised failed and try again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackBurglar:
That's exactly what happened, sfobrien. Thanks again for the info. I thought it was funny that one said successful, and the other said not...

Either way, it works, and the ROM is rather nice. I flashed it for my wife who had previously been running a rooted stock. It had updates waiting, but I wasn't even about to let the OTA run.

So far, it's been perfect for her. I'm running the same on my incredible flawlessly.

Thanks!

[Thunderbolt General] vinnyjr:
I am a very happy Thunderbolt owner, rooted and flashed a custom Rom and absolutely love it. I am also a long time T-Mobile customer who had to buy the new Samsung GS2. If anyone thought they were missing something by not buying one of these new great phones do not worry the Thunderbolt still holds it's own with any of them. I think the Thunderbolt feels so much better in my hands, the HTC phone to me is a better built device and will probably use it as my regular daily phone. I just seen so many posts about people thinking their Thunderbolts were last years phones with no punch. My Thunderbolt may not be as thin or large as the SGS2 but I would not give it up for anything except maybe the new not yet out Nexus Prime. Sorry for my rambling but I am stll a very happy Thunderbolt owner who has unlimited data plan and loving it. Not to mention sick ass speeds.

PS The new Samsung Galaxy S2 is getting over 15 MB download and around 3 MB upload, these speeds are in and around the Boston area. The speeds even get faster at night. Those are sick ass speeds from HSPA+ and the speeds are suppose to be turned up to 42 mb in our area very soon. Who says HSPA+ is behind the times?

I wonder about gps notification , when I opened a GPS (reflash radio , wifi,edge, all worked).

when I open a IGO , there is no any notification about gps is working (in froyo stock rom has).

Is that normal or not ? o should have a notification in task bar.

but I haven't try google map yet.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nakulkhanna:
If u can't see gps icon in status/notification bar then it means that your gps is not working and this is a very common problem in cm7.

Try google maps and see if gps icon blinks on status bar. If it does then all is fine but if it doesn't then let me know, ill help you out coz I had the same problem :-P
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thestory101:
sorry for belate reply, it's doesn't even google map.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nakulkhanna:
Ok here is what u need to do...

a). Make a nandroid backup of your current cm7.

b). Then go to recovery wipe everything. Then install any Rom which has gps working. Like stock rom or any other in which gps works, Here you can also select the rooted stock roms. Then turn on your gps and open Google maps, let gps fix/lock your location with this rom n wait for 5mins.

c). Then go to recovery and again wipe everything. Now restore the cm7 nandroid backup. Now your gps will work and you'll even see the icon in status bar.

So, in place of stock nandroid backup you can use any rom with gps working. The point is just after locking the position with gps, you need to do a nandroid restore of cm7.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thestory101:
hmm, when i installed a CM7.1, I did MTD partition too, seem like partition is too small for stock rom about 145M, can u suggest any suitable rom with working GPS for me ?

Do i have to do a MTD partition step again ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Pretty sure your partition should return to stock, mine did when I just flashed a fresh copy of cm7 this afternoon, not sure but when you restore the nandroid backup run the bravo boot zip after and your mtd should be fine.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thestory101:
I try to do that step , but seem like got error when restore back from nandroid backup.

Ps. I decide to use 13.55.55.24H_3.35.19.25 but when restart still show a 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10.

Currently I have CWM 3.00.6.

1. flash 2.50.7

2. flash 13.55.55.24H_3.35.19.25

3. restart

4. still got 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10

may be file not correct ? or me :P

I am having trouble installing the new Prime Boot annimation..

i flashed the zip but nothing happens .. the same boot annimation that came with the rom is still there.. ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcismo55:
Unless specified...you don't flash a the bootanimation.zip. Using a program like Root Explorer navigate to the System-Media folder and rename the stock bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. That way if you ever want to go back to stock just change the end to .zip.

Then, copy the bootani you want to change to into that same folder. If you're using Root Explorer...long press on the file and change permissions to RW-R-R. Reboot and enjoy your new boot animation.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsgrafx09:
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/08/download-nexus-prime-boot-animation/

The boot animation from the Nexus Prime aka Galaxy Nexus that was teased to us earlier in the week is now available for everyone to play with. The instructions we have are for flashing in Clockwork Recovery, but if you aren’t rooted, you will have to do it the old fashioned way by extracting and moving the bootanimation.zip into /data/local or wherever your particular phone pulls media from.

Sexy, isn’t it?

Download: Nexus_Prime_Boot.zip

Instructions:

1. Download the file from above an drop it on your SD card.

2. Reboot your phone into recovery.

3. Choose “install zip from sd card.”

4. ”Choose zip from sd card.”

5. Select the file you downloaded from above.

6. Once it finishes running choose “Go Back” and then reboot!

Hey guys I just picked up the Thrill the other day, and like others I've realized the battery life is horrible on this phone not to mention when I reboot the phone would take a 10-15% out of the battery. Coming from an Atrix I decided to try the battery fix for the Atrix since it worked for me in the past, well after following all the steps in the guide it seems my phone reports the battery more accurate and battery life is better but your mileage will vary. Reboot doesn't take 10-15% out of the batter percentage either so here is the guide and link to the original thread, all credits go to xploited.

Not a bad process. I did something similar. Main part is Watchdog and finding out what's draining your battery. On my phone the infringing process is "Suspend". Now, if there were an app that was keeping my phone from suspending and running up the process it would be an easy fix but unfortunately the process with the highest "partial wake" battling my "Suspend" is the "dialer" so unfortunate I'm just gonna have to wait for GB since I have no interest in Rooting or installing roms at this point.
