[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwims:
Is this thread about a badge-engineered T-mobile?

Sorry to display my ignorance, but it's not clear to me if this is a standard Galaxy S2 that has been locked to T-Mobile, or if it is a T-Mobile branded Galaxy, i.e a T-Mobile banner at startup and lots of useless and annoying apps installed.

I suppose the question is, how different is it to root and reflash a rebranded locked T-Mobile Galaxy S2?

Thanks,

B.

[HTC Sensation] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

The HTC Sensation XE have red capacitive touch color so is there anyway to had this on the regular Sensation?

Is it hardware/software related?

if its software related,any solution/mod to have it in the future?

Thanks in advance:cool:
[HTC Sensation] whymewho:
I think it's an hardware.. like when the notification blinks, you can't change it to color blue or white.. since its an hardware.. you can only modify it buy using your bare hands, then change its LED (or Diode, don't know what its called...)???

Just like the capacitive keys, modify by your bare hands then change LED / Diode or what ever they call it.. :)

And i think if it's software, by now they've already done that together with beats audio aren't they?

Correct me if I'm wrong..

Click thanks if i make sense or able to help.. :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] socki3:
Recently the camera on my z just force closes whenever I try to use it, whether its the camera app, or another app that uses the camera, I.e; barcode scanner, this is fairly recent, and I have tried a few different roms, with no success using my camera again, the roms I tried are miui, cm7, and virtuous unity, so I have no idea what is causing the fc's, and was wondering if there's anyone here who can help me?
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
are you restoring system data with TB? are you super wiping and clearing all the caches manually before flashes?
[G2 and Desire Z General] socki3:
Yeah, I have tried a full wipe (system,cache,dalvik?), and a clean rom without restoring anything with TB and I still get the FC issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
i suppose it could be hardware related, have you tried any rooted stock roms with a stock kernal etc? See if that works? I know the wrong kernal with the wrong rom will break camera functionality
[G2 and Desire Z General] socki3:
I haven't tried that, I'll have a look around for one, any you'd reccomend?
[G2 and Desire Z General] socki3:
Update, tried a few stock rooted roms here, with the htc kernel, still no camera :/
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
Could you do a logcat ? At least you would see whats happening when the camera Force Closes?
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Good call lol I always read longcat lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] barryweston:
I'm having a similar issue, but the camera only force closes if I try to use a shooting mode outside of no effect or black and white. All other modes cause a crash

running insertcoin 1.6
[G2 and Desire Z General] socki3:
I'd be happy with that, i only ever used normal mode anyway :/

I have noticed that when using the dock keyboard to input text, the cursor will at times (actually, quite frequently) jump to a different location and continue to input text.

It's as if during the typing, the pointer clicked somewhere else to redirect the current cursor position.

Someone had a similar experience? Running latest ASUS upgrades...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalage:
So it means to boot into CWM recovery, wipe all datas, boot and dalvik cache,

power down the phone, use flashtool to flash the .368 ftf file?

after that use flashboot to flash the img file of cwm again?

then go into recovery, wipe all datas, boot and dalvik cache, install cm7 zip from sd card? reboot then go into recovery again to install gapps zip then reboot?

Did I miss anything here?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swavab:
Yes..then u wil get back vibration..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalage:
I tried flashtool on my PC to flash the stock SE .368 rom...it keeps aborting...And because it aborted, the phone can't be switched on...

So I try to flash the .ftf file on another PC, and strangely enough, it flashed without problem...I was able to revert back to .368 rom after that, flashboot the CWM boot.img, rebooted into CWM recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe battery, wipe dalvik...

Installed the CM7.1 rom and GAPPS thereafter...it booted into CM7.1.

Question is...why is it my PC keeps aborting the flashing of the .ftf file?

I am using windows 7 home 64bit.

The other PC that flashed without problem is a windows 7 home 32bit.

If my experience can help people here...thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arabcamel:
I hope this is not a stupid question, but I am experiencing something weird when i video tape. I am on Cog X2 (beta-4) and when I go to video tape, I noticed that the video on the screen is zoomed in a bit. The resolution is on 1920x1080. When I switch the resolution to 1280x720, the video feed on my phone zooms back out to normal. All of the resolutions except for 1920x1080 are the same. For some reason the highest resoluion zooms in a little and doesn't give me the option to zoom back out.

So objects appear closer than they actually are. (i couldn't help but think of the side mirrors on cars).

I'm sure as soon as the developers hack the camera, zoom will be an option.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Nevralgeek:
Hi everyone !

For those who searched and needed the HTC's logo font, I think I found the closest one.

I hope nobody posted it here, I didn't find it in my search.

I've just made a quick test, without photoshoping any letter, just the font, out of the box, to show you how close it is. (sorry for the mistake in the last word, really quickly done...)

Easily noticeable differences :

the h bar isn't high enough

the T is too much rounded

Here's my quick test :

The font can be downloaded from dafont.com. The name is arkitech.

I hope it will be useful.

Enjoy ! ;)

Top text is the original logo, bottom is the text "hTc" in this font:

To match this font to the original you need to make the "h" a little taller and bring the "c" in to the left slightly...I am about to make a black background splash screen, and needed to change the HTC green font to ICS blue.

Yup that might help too. Also have to make sure the MAIN Windows Live ID that your phone is signed into is the one you use for Messenger. If you've added additional Windows Live IDs, you'll get e-mails/calendar/contacts..etc but not Messenger.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
It works reasonably well for me (the first message you get in a convo has an annoying tendency to to go the phone and not to the PC, which is a pain if you're signed on to both at once. The real problem, though, is that it only works with the primary WLID. Such a waste of a good feature.

By locked he means INTEROP-LOCKED. If you've got a student account you can deploy 3 apps. You already said that. But if you didn't INTEROP-UNLOCK your phone (see the thread MetusMortis posted) you won't be able to run apps which use native codes (for example registry editors, file explorers...)
[Acer Iconia A500] NickkxNekro:
I'm looking to get a tablet to introduce BackTrack 5 to. I don't believe this tablet has a wifi chip capable of injection, so I wanted to connect a USB wifi adapter to it (this one right here). I read in the update it's able to register the usb port for usb devices, but which exactly work without me having to create a driver? And, I'm sure there are linux drivers for said USB adapter, I assume I could take that and (easily) create one?
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
From what I've read so far, the USB port handles things like hard drives, keyboards and flash card readers (and not necessarily all of them).

A Wi-Fi adapter may function under Linux but you would probably have to be rooted on the device to install drivers since they are not natively included in the system build that I know of.

Hi,

Will be trying Fards' and DJ_Steve's latest GingerStreak 2.4 later tonight. There seems to be very positive response on the system stability on the release.

I wouldn't mind having my own Gingerbread build for that kernel including the feature. If so, I would plan to extend with additonal Settings for Gingerbread that gives you more control on the blinks :)

I am also thinking of another possibility to run Gingerbread on Streak, but will check their latest release to see whether it's stable enough for production uses.

Will check them after trying GingerStreak 2.4 :cool:

[Streak 5 Android Development] greekunit690:
Or u can just download streakled from the market or blackmart
[Streak 5 Android Development] watch_mania:
Well there are some reasons why I'm not keen to use the StreakLED:

1) I don't like to have a service hanging around wasting my RAM for something that should've (and is, actually) been built into the system.

2) The modification for Blinking Button notification works of framework level and hijacks all notifications. Any app that attempts to show notification on the status bar will be blinked :)

But I've just re-read StreakLED's entire thread and thinking. Probably it would be good to have a LED that stays lit instead of blinking to get better power saving, after blinking for sometimes, say 1 hours.

The unresolved problem seems to be the way to just "wakeup" the backlight buttons instead of the entire LCD screen. If anyone knows how to wakeup just the backlight buttons, then power problems should be solved. Haven't got luck with writing "power:blablabla:wakeup" on /sys/leds/button-backlight/power/wakeup.

Yes I know (I did accidentally during testing it. It seems like a harmless bug in the backlight driver), but it's for keeping the button backlight lit during screen off.

But why would you want led on all the time with screen on? We are going to let backlight stay lit after an hour to preserve lcd power?

Obviously what's preventing the mod to become 1.0 :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] grasshoxda:
if it could light the buttons up for a notification and not the screen, and have a side option to keep the buttons lit all the time while the screen is unlocked that would be awesome
[Streak 5 Android Development] dacho:
It has potential but as of now I went back to streak led. On my device it seems that screen stays on for ever. Also when you make a call the screen would turn on and stay on regardless of proximity sensor because there is a notification in the notification bar while talking. Just letting you know.
