To restore your EFS from your tar.gz file the commands are as following:

su
umount /efs
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs_28Oct2011-2110.tar.gz -C /
reboot

Not sure about how to restore your img file though but the tar.gz file should work.

Now I'm sure my efs folder is fine and not corrupt, but still it gives

IMEI (nothing)

Baseband: Unknown

And it won't recognize my sim.

What is the problem here?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almorsol:
Hi,

I have a problem. I have the volume for the ringtone on the cel set loud. All the way up.

But when I receive a call, it comes normal, the ringtone sounds out loud. The problem is the next call.

For some reason, the ringtone changes itself to the lowest volume. So the next call I can barely hear it.

Is there any reason why this happens or a way to fix it?

By the way, I receive the calls in a bluetooth headset.

Thank you!

What do we mean by bootloader and unlocked bootloader. What are our benefits to get bootloader unlocked because most of the devs suggest that we shudder use their Rom with unlocked bootloader y so???????I know too many questions...

Advantage is that the custom kernel is loaded directly which is a more stable way to use the custom kernel and your phone is starting faster than with the bypass method cause you don't load SE kernel, kill him and then load your own kernel, you load your own kernel directly.

I was using MIUI 1.9.10 i believe it was, 1.9.something for sure... Well I was having nothing but problems and rather than updating to a newer version of MIUI, i decided to try another ROM but i've ran into a problem...

I used Odin to flash back to stock 2.1 eclair, and then upon rebooting, i installed Rom Manager, than installed ClockworkModRecovery, and can not get into it. Each time i try to get into recovery, it comes up with "Android system recovery <2e>" which is not right!

So I did a little investigating and I think i found the problem, but am CLUELESS as to how to fix it! In the settings, i see 3 different forms of memory, the 8GB external card which is the SD card i have in the phone, than i see the following two:

Internal SD Card: 13.01GB Total Space

Internal Phone Storage: 1.73GB

Is this right? I dont remember ever seeing Internal Phone Storage, but i may be wrong... I dont know... What do i do? I'm thinking Clockwork is installing to the wrong memory, but i may be wrong!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
When u reboot into the recovery ( 2e ), select "Reinstall Packages". Then select it again after it comes back. Then u should be in CWM Recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMad:
Hey that worked! And now i remember doing that a long time ago!

Those partitions i mentioned, is that correct? Is that what im supposed to have?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:

[Sony Tablet S] SEFanX10i:
Hey Guys,

The Sony Tablet S has made it to the finals of the Tablet World Series Championship Game on LaptopMag. It beat out rival tablets like Ipad 2, Galaxy Tab 10.1, kindle fire and many others. Now its in the final match against the Thinkpad Tablet. So far Tablet S is leading but your votes still count as we still have 2 days to go until the voting closes.

So please go HERE and vote for the Tablet S.

Really surprised at how popular the Tablet S has become beating even the Ipad 2:eek:
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
Well S tab didnt face Ipad 2 the ASUS did and that was probably a show of force by android users vs apple :)
[Sony Tablet S] raundown:
Poor multi-tasking. Music lags when browsing the internet and occasionally when reading magazines.

Also it happens to me once that when the battery is very low the screen won't turn on. I charged it and the screen still does not respond. It wasn't turned off as the lock screen sound was still playing. I had to poke a needle to the reset button to fix it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
The store bought from is irrelevant, different states have different laws. In some states, the "subsidy\buy-down" is considered an instant rebate, and is taxed, whereas in other states they look at it as you're being taxed on the service for 2 years so they exempt all but the actual out-of-pocket price of the phone. To say "Sams does this but Walmart doesn't," etc is a useless commentary. It's not to say that policies and compliance are 100%, but the variance is by state\taxing authority, not from company to company.
[TouchPad General] CB620:
HP sent out email updates informing everyone that were looking for the last batch of touchpads to no longer look because they are not making anymore. The only way to get one is to buy a HP product and than you will be able to purchase a 32gb for $149.99

To see more or read up here is a article floating around online :

http://tablets-planet.com/2011/10/2...est-buy-will-have-some-available-in-november/
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
Well, at least I got one. Odd of getting another one are about zero for me, especially as I'm not going to go for Best Buy's Buy a PS and get a 32GB TouchPad for $150, unless they have some HP $20 laptops.
[TouchPad General] mister timely:
Bummer about having to buy them in combination. I feel like this last batch was over-promised.
[TouchPad General] Pongopuffian:
They really fooled me, that HP TouchPad was really elusive. Really elusive.
[TouchPad General] desertdog:
Real customer service, sellout all touchpads from last run to employees, then send out email like that. Basicly they are saying screw the customers. I for one will never buy another HP product!!
[TouchPad General] CB620:
I'm talked to a rep earlier and I asked were there anymore touchpads and the first question he asked me was...... am I an employee?

Wtf does that mean!?

I think there are plenty left just not for regular consumers
[TouchPad General] scrizz:
here's a screenshot of the email I got.

I was like wtf lol
[TouchPad General] CB620:
HP employees got the last batch lol
[TouchPad General] Nomedias:
I find this kinda ironic. In the past I've seem companies get slammed for treating their employees poorly. Here, HP throws them a bone and outsiders like us get upset because we're not in on it. We don't know how many HP still has in stock, and lets not forget they must keep a reserve in stock for warranty support.

I think most agree the Touchpad as originally priced and marketed was doomed from the start. Mistakes were made, but I see no business obligation to continue the fiasco. What if they sold them again like they did back in August? The rush of orders brought down many online resellers (shortly after my Rep placed my order, their servers went down. Apparently their VoIP was over the same network as it went down at the same time). Even if there is enough stock to sustain such a rush, I doubt they're eager to go through that again for no profit. I see the bundle deal coming from Best Buy in November as a smart way to offload them at the firesale price (along with some mediocre Compaqs) without being overwhelmed with orders for one of the biggest loss-leaders I've seen. Just calling it as I see it. :D
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
The last run didn't go to employees, it went to filling backorders... LOTS of them. They also offered them to their employees. They have no obligation to sell them to you at a loss. Apparently employees bought many more than they anticipated.

I do take issue with selling them as a bundle when many of us where on e-mail list and where told more where coming.

I don't know that their are plenty left. All the pack orders are being filled (or have been by now). The employee had their chance to buy some weeks back. That was probably the majority of the final production run. But like I stated above the bundle doesn't seem right after sending an e-mail telling us their will be more coming for us to buy.

A agree, and the bundle is probably a smarter way to unload the remaining Touchpads while selling some computers with out the craze that took place last time. Maybe that would of been a better business decision from the get start. BUT, after having us sign up for notifications and telling us more are on the way, they should of honored that buy allowing us to buy the TouchPads with out having to buy a Best Buy bundle.
[TouchPad General] tnerb123:
I am not going to say that what HP was wrong, but advertising that they had more coming was WRONG! They should not have said they were going to have more available to buy when they had no plans to ever let normal customers buy one.
[TouchPad General] scrizz:
technically you will get a chance to buy them at firesale price so...
[TouchPad General] Pongopuffian:
Don't you think it's fair though? If everyone can't get one then no one gets one?

Unless, that is, iff'n your willing to pay.
[TouchPad General] pflatlyne:
the thing is,they told us to sign up and said there would be more. the knew damn well we assumed they would be sold under similar terms. they let us wait. They then made announcements about when they would be available. then finally,they changed it all and told us no more would be available,except as part of a promo to sell other hp products. of course people are angry. if they would have told people in August "A final run will be made to cover outstanding orders,and the remainder will be offered as part of a promotion when buying an hp computer. No additional stock will be available for purchase outside of the promotional program" it would be fine. instead,they told us one thing,then changed their mind. in fact,last week they said they would be for sale but the vedors would choose the price,this.week they are 149 with the purchase of an hp computer.
[TouchPad General] Pongopuffian:
They said they never walked away from the software whatsoever, I suppose that's why they stopped updating pivot right?

The greedy bastards that work at Hewlett Packard are going to get what's coming to them.

You missed the intent of the post. Granted the OP did not do a great job explaining it, but this is not spam...

He made this zip version so people can easily revert to this version of market if you are using my series of ROMS. Mine have 3.2.0 and that is a screwed up version. If you flash this zip it will resolve that by killing the old version and replacing it with this version. He made it into a zip to simplify the process.

And remember, if you dont like the post, simply dont respond. No need to come in and start flaming and acting like a tough guy. Just ignore what you dont like and move on.

So I can't get it to work. I can get it to vibrate when in silent but then it also vibrates when in normal mode. I don't want it to do that. Just want it to vibrate in silent mode and that's it. I have changed all the settings and even in the stock messaging app but still no go.

Anyone else have a fix?

Hello,

Has anyone replaced their Screen with an AMOLED version?

Just curious... probably problems with the drivers.. and I'm not sure if the mainboard will support AMOLED? Just an idea.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
It would be a problem all the way around. Drivers, fit, and having the correct hardware on the motherboard to support the new LCD. I would say it would almost be impossible unless an LCD manufacturer made a direct replacement for our phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
So, using the ota I see it uses a range if values for the auto brightness.

Is there a mod or way to move the range down? As it is now, my eye sockets burn after looking at the web in a darkened room.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el6006:
I seem to have the opposite problem. On every ROM I have installed on my Inc, using the Auto setting always makes the screen way too dim and it is slow to brighten back up when light hits the sensors. I think maybe the screen protector is causing some of that but I'm not sure. Usually after this I just set my CurveFish widget to 25% and leave it at that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
I'm guessing there aren't any mods?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
Just bumping this hoping for something.

Can;t a flashable zip be made that just changes the range auto brightness uses?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visionviper:
It's funny I seem to have the opposite problem with stock 2.2 on mine. My screen will go quite dim in the sunlight and I need to turn the lcd off and on again to restore it back to proper brightness. It only seems to happen when I let the LCD go dim while in the browser.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
Done. I'm testing now. If it works I'll upload it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
Okay. It's 100% working. I had to pull the framework.res, decompile it, adjust the settings (called arrays), recompile it, and reinsert it into my rom. Once I did that, it broke some stuff like accounts and syncs. I knew it would and i reloaded them.

Once i knew it worked, i inserted that file into a rom I made and reflashed. Works great. Now it will go full bright in a bright room and in a dark room it fades down to 10, which is the lowest number.

Exactly what i wanted since at night the screen was blinding.

How does anyway want me to get the file to them? Upload the file? My rom?

FYI - my rom is just a simple OTA that's rooted but tons of stuff is removed from it. It's so much more than debloated....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
What exactly did you change, and where is it located in the framework-res.apk?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
Once I decompiled the framework-res.apk, I look in

\framework-res\res\values\arrays.xml

Opened it in notepad and changed this part...

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>11</item>
<item>41</item>
<item>91</item>
<item>126</item>
<item>161</item>
<item>164</item>
<item>187</item>
<item>210</item>
<item>233</item>
<item>255</item>

Then i recompiled the file and inserted the framework file into my ROM archive/zip file.

A flashable zip would be ideal then we could list it as a mod.

Huzaa!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Yes just got finished and rebooted. Great find. Just like you said bright in bright light and dim in the dark.

The only problem with making this a flashable is that a bunch of other mods also edit the framework-res.apk. So flashing this mod would wipe out those mods and flashing other mods would wipe out this one. Also i believe some rom devs edit their framework-res file for their specific rom. So a flashable of this mod may mess up other things in the rom. As a manual edit though its awesome.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
Understood, and I surely don't want to go breaking stuff. Too bad though because I'd love to contribute to xda and my fellow inc owners with this. That auto brightness was making me nuts.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlxmax:
The Zoomy mod is fantastic. The low level brightness matches indoor lighting quite well, thank you.

One question, you said that 10 is the minimum brightness. Is this because you set it at 10, or that it wouldn't go any lower than 10? I ask because my AMOLED screen can still dim down a lot more if I turn off automatic brightness and manually dim it all the way down. In fact, in a dark room that's the only way I can comfortably view it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
Thanks for the kind words!

I used 11 cause the jump lower was kinda abrupt in my opinion. I tested it with 5 as the min value and it went all the way dark.

I can compile one that goes darker if you'd like.
