Guys i want to know if theres a way to increase the sreen brightness on stock 2.1.1.C.0.0 like in custom roms ( super brightness function or something like that i dont remember the name)

Please respond :)

Sorry about my english im learning
[XPERIA X8 General] Superuser.Angga:
Ultra Brightness are available at CM7 only

Sorry :)
[XPERIA X8 General] dotsen9:
And cm6
[XPERIA X8 General] *boy*racer*:
Find this line in hw_config.sh

echo i2c_pwm_als > $dev/mode # i2c, pwm, i2c_pwm, als, pwm_als, i2c_pwm_als, i2_als

And delete _als from the first line then save and exit. Remember to backup befor trying.

Worked for me and hope this helps
[XPERIA X8 General] netho25:
I'm Using Stock! This will increase the brightness?
[XPERIA X8 General] snoid_zero:
you can only edit hw_config.sh if your rooted.

If you are, use root explorer and find this file on /system/etc/
[XPERIA X8 General] netho25:
yes im rooted, i just want to make sure of that edit will work on stock :)
[XPERIA X8 General] *boy*racer*:
Well im on stock 2.1 and it works:-) let us know if it works for you too
[XPERIA X8 General] netho25:
Thanks Can you post what to change? do i delete all als? please give me an example of how it should be......i'll post my results!
[XPERIA X8 General] *boy*racer*:
Umm its hard to explain. If you look at the very 1st line, you will see that only the 1st _als is removed and no others. Im now using a custom rom so will look a bit different, bust still works the same
[XPERIA X8 General] netho25:
Thanks mate! It worked for me on stock
[XPERIA X8 General] *boy*racer*:
Thats great :-)

Anyone know if the USB OTG cable for the Galaxy Note will work with a 1TB USB hard drive? A portable one with is powered by the USB cable?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blobotorian:
I don't have a galaxy device, will get the note, but from what i understand, you will need greater voltage for a hd to work than what you need for a generic usb stick.

There is this vid that demonstrates OTG for the GS2. And at the end of the video the guy says that it will not work with an external drive that requires power from the device.

( New user, cannot post links yet, the video title is ''Samsung Galaxy S2 USB OTG demo'')

I believe this will be the case with the Note too.

But a Solid State hd would probably work... Probably.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubgirl:
I doubt the Note can read the NTFS file system. I know the S2 can't.

As stated above ~ the Galaxy Note does not provide enough energy to power a hard drive that requires power from it's source.

I have a Galaxy SII, a couple of OTG USB cables and a number of drives and USB peripherals. None of the Portable Hard Drives work.

Memory sticks yes, as do small USB toys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkshadow:
Thanks everyone!

While not idea (or what I was hoping for), I actually have a Y cable setup to use USB host with the HD2 on WinMo. Essentially this allows you to plug in the hard drive to one end and power into another and then the drive doesn't need/get power from the device.

Will this overcome the power problem?

Then the issue on the HD2 is NTFS. There is no way to mount/read an NTFS volume.

Does Android have this same problem?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Yes, if you use an externally powered hub or other powered connection larger drives will work (I do this on my SGSII).

There may be a fix for NTFS, I recall there being one for the SGSII.

If you don't mind the extra cost you can get a portable wifi hdd.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkshadow:
Thanks again everyone!

Just some background. I ask because I have a portable hard drive/media player enclosure that I put a 1TB HD into (Micca slim-HD). I am considering the Note because it would replace my 500gb PMP which is starting to go bad. However, 64gb or whatever the Note supports is not going to come even close to cutting it. I was hoping to just being able to plug the media player/portable hard drive into it when I was on the go. Guess, in the end, its not going work very well. However, I will borrow a SGS2 and see how cumbersome the whole rig would really be before I bail on the Note.

Too bad, besides this issue, the Note would be a wish fulfilling device for me. I could drop carrying a device (the PMP) when I am traveling. Maybe it still will, just with come inconvenience. This is one area where my Win7 tablet still wins. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silkshadow:
Pretty ugly potential deal breaker, USB OTG will not work with external hard drive at all :(.

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEb-DICYCgg&feature=player_embedded in the USB OTG tests around 9:50 mark. Seems its been disabled for whatever reason.

Guess I'm sticking with Asus, who seems to make sure this is fully supported. Padfone, hurry up!

That's my post. :)

I don't have the Note yet (may buy one later when I return to HK or price get cheaper). But I bet it will work with powered external drive (check my posts for what I did with S2 using a 250Gb drive).

For NTFS, you probably have to wait for the dev to come out with a NTFS or Fuse (NTFS-3G) driver.

As you can see it recognized the drive as sda. I tried to get it to mount the ntfs partition by:

1. Using the ntfs files for the SGS2. I did an insmod for the fuse.ko and didn't get an error.

2. I connected the drive and did a ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb

Doing that I got:

nfts-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/block/sda1': No such file or directory

I suspect that if my drive had FAT32 partitions it would have been recognized but I'm not sure. I would really like to get NTFS working.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackleung:
1. What's your output for "lsmod"? Make sure ntfs.ko is loaded first.

2. How many partitions do you have for your drive? What commands did you use to mount the drive?

You will need something like:

mount -t ntfs /dev/block/sda[COLOR=DarkOrange]1[/COLOR] /mnt/usb

#the number after sda is the partition id
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mircury:
The only one in the zip for the SGS2 was fuse.ko and I loaded that. I'll get the lsmod output for you this weekend. Busy work week....

Ya, I didn't use the mount command. I thought the ntfs-3g did the mounting.

I have reformated one of my external HDD (WD my passport, 1st gen, 320GB) to FAT32. Can confirm that it work using an Belkin 7port powered USB hub and some no-name USB OTG cable.

The 1TB passport however doesnt work even though its FAT32 also. When I connect the 1TB (600GB used) the Note start checking the drive but break at 6-7%.

I suspect the problem is the quantity of data on the HDD (the one that worked has 2-3 files on it just for the test).

p.s. when i connect both of them to the hub they are mounted as sda and sdb but appear empty.

lsmod said it was active and loaded. Although I was using fuse.ko as provided in the sgs2 zip.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Strapt:
OK does this phone actually show anything other than 4g?

I am in a 3g area and I have not ever seen anything but the 4g icon.. Unless I put it in gsm only mode. But on auto or Wcdma mode it stays on the 4g icon.

Also it seems like I have issues with the Internet staying connected even when I have signal.

Also it seems like when I leave my screen off and turn it on the signal is higher than normal but goes down within a few seconds.

Anyone else notice this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PorchSong:
+1

I am having the EXACT same issues. But, I am in a 4G area. Of course I got throttled by blowing through my 5G limit in a week--damn these new toys and massively restrictive internet access at work (financial industry). So now I am on edge for a while; but with the 4G icon up, I cannot hold a data connection at all. It goes on for a few seconds or such, then nothing. The upload icon is always on, but no download. I have to force GSM mode to maintain any sort of connection. The "Auto GSM/Wcdma" does not switch modes efficiently. I think it is continually checking for a 4G connection, thus resetting the 3G/Edge connection it is making. Very frustrating. . . I am hoping someone with make a Auto/4G/3G/Edge toggle so I can drop it on the homescreen rather than digging down for it.

THe battery meter has some sort of 'history chart' so you can see (I think) when and at what rate your battery started dropping.

There is a way to sync with itunes - see the 'switching' video

Woo too.. long time lurker first time poster!

Love having the hdmi out on the Motorola xoom, and it seems to work perfectly on my hdtv. My question is, I have a projector unfortunately with no hdmi. It does, however , support vga. So I was wondering, if anybody on the forum had any luck or experience with adapters converting hdmi from the xoom ?

Thanks in advance to anybody That has any input.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
HDMI<->VGA requires digital<->analog conversion, and requires active electronics rather than just a dumb cable. In layman's terms, it means "expensive". Some solutions per below link (from a Goog search, no endorsement intended),

[Motorola Droid X2] xerotix:
I've always appreciated having the option of rebooting into recovery on the "phone options" when powering off. Typically if I have already used the dx2 bootstrap into recovery previously I can just power down when im plugged in and ill reboot into cwm...and my old dx and other phones I've seen have it typically. Pretty sure its doable.

So if anyones up for adding it to your list of things to do id be extatic.

Thx in advance.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
We don't have an official bsr. In order for the reboot recovery to work, i think the script calls for Koush's signature, or something like that, and our recovery doesn't have the proper sig. Not only is it a hacked up recovery, it's an ancient one. I don't see recovery ever being added, unfortunately.

Oh, btw, wrong forum.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Xodus is correct.

We were all excited for a while when koush got an x2 bout a month or two ago thinking we would finally get a "real" x2 recovery option. Its a little frustrating to see almost EVERY moto phone except for us have that option. And the only "real"x2 difference between our phone and others is our tegra2. I can't see that being the reason we can't get this option. It Has GOT to be doable if someone would just put the work/time into creating it.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Well, don't they have one for the Xoom? We need to see if we can port some of the Xoom hacks. The only difference REALLY are honeycomb and the screen size(right?).
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
XOOM is unlocked and the x2 is locked

Liberated X2
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
For inquiring minds they're don't know, an unlocked bl allows you to flash cwm to become THE recovery; no bsr or hacked jobs needed.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Cuz XOOM SHIPS with unlocked bootloader of.course ;)

This is what the x2 needs desperately if we ever want to see some.permanent fixes for.performance issues we have had.

I swear someone needs to unlock this caged beast. @Motorola I'm looking at you. STOP LETTING VZW BULLY YOU INTO PERMANENT LOCKED BOOTLOADERS. THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW!! AT LEAST LEAK US SOME.OPTIONS OR.PUT A METHOD OUT THERE FOR US TO USE...doesn't even need to be official on their website....just send it to a newb in the x2 forum and let em spread the news lol....AAAAGGGHHHH

.

/end rant sorry :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] xerotix:
Ya well even though we aren't unlocked...it would seem that some sort of autorun sequence for the two commands in the dx2 bootstrap could be programmed to run one after the other in the background at the push of a button on that menu. But it couldn't really be that simple -_-
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
If only I wasn't such a noob I would try to make that happen :)

hopefully someone will figure out what needs to happen for us to even feel like we are "officially "I supported
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Logic seems airtight. I mean, if you can push the button in System Recovery and it'll boot to charge mode or recovery mode then why can't the same commands used to perform that action be used as a reboot recovery option. I'm no dev. I would imagine if it was that easy, it would've been done by now.
[Motorola Droid X2] matts175:
"Reboot widget" from the market is a good alternative for now....
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Seems to me the charge mode is the weakest link in the chain. The normal boot sequence is dependent on encryption and system checks, the battery animation doesn't require so much security. It would make sense to me, after reading the cvpcs blog about 2nd init, they could use 2nd init to hijack normal boot, but that sounds like a total pain in the ass.
[Motorola Droid X2] xerotix:
ya XOdus...with nitro and masta being basically the only two devs for the dx2 I figured I'd just throw this out there and hopefully someone reads it. If i were savoy with making roms I'd be all over it, but hopefully just my train of thought may help someone with their endeavors in making their rom worth while. Nitro put our bootstrapper in his "eclipse parts" so I would imagine he might be interested in advancing farther.

Would be cool to get the option to reboot to recovery in the power menu.
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
I can do it but you still have to be plugged into the wall. I found it kind of pointless since you need the app to toggle it back to charge mode if needed.
[Motorola Droid X2] xerotix:
nitro, maybe you could make a toggle between recovery and charge mode in the pulldown or after hitting the recovery button in the power menu you could have a window come up with an option of charge or recovery and then after selecting you could select to reboot. I understand I'd still have to be plugged in...but its just ease of use :)

4 to 5 hours is correct from an almost dead battery. About 1 hour per 25%.

Try calibrating your battery. May not help charge-up time much, but this will possibly extend your 'up' time so that you don't go back to 4-5 hr charge cycle as often.
