Does everyone's phone have a smell on the inside after you remove the battery compartment?

It's strong enough on mine that if I haven't removed the back in a while and remove it, I can smell it just holding it at a normal distance.

It's not unpleasant, just kind odd. I'd describe it as faintly sweet mixed with plasticky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Lolol...I thought I was going crazy. "That new phone smell" perfect description sweet but plasticy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
mmmm i know that smell it's the smell of puppy dog dreams and unicorn tears.

no wonder this thing is so fast.

kidding aside though give it a few weeks plastics glue new electronics. exposed to heat makes the new electronics smell.

happens in all new electronics to some extent imo.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Shawnkanan:
Is there any plans for getting a Kernel that will allow us to overclock or Amazes. I have been wanting to see how we can push this device and havent seen anything in the development forums about anything for overclocking. Props to Xboarder for creating excellent Roms right off the bat for the amaze. I have tested all of them and there all pretty AWESOME!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bigv69er:
No way to overide the kernels without S-off i beleive
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
This is patently wrong, S-Off is NOT needed, a unlocked S-On bootloader will do the trick for custom system/boot partitions, meaning a custom rom can be loaded on the phone (including overclocking, although nobody has a custom kernel that can do it yet). You can easily unlock the S-On bootloader at htcdev.com, it remains S-On, but is "unlocked", the reason it is still "S-On" is because you can't flash unsigned radio images or unsigned HBOOT images.

This will easily OC to 1.7ghz, probably 1.8-1.9ghz, I haven't checked, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same SoC as the Sensation, which easily goes to 1.7ghz.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jfsat:
The thing that kills me is that there is so little out there for this phone. Sure it's pretty new, but it seems like HTC is even giving us the shaft, as they're putting ICS on the Sensation before the Amaze.

At least we're not hurting for processor power. :) I'm running Energy and loving it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You guys should speak to Faux123 since we all chipped in and bought him an Amaze just so he can get us custom kernels. Unfortunately we discovered that HTC hasn't released the wifi drivers (TI 1983 drivers I believe) and although we were able to obtain the drivers they still didn't work right with the kernel. He has tried 28 times and we're stuck at the best he can offer. So blame HTC for keeping you from frying your CPU. :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
You would think it could go past 1.9ghz my G2 was OC to 1.9ghz and some even got 2.1 and 2.2ghz
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Same for MT4G if I remember right. Whenever I would show off it's speeds, I'd momentarily OC to 1.9 min/max. But I get better speeds from my amaze at 1.5 than I did on mt4g at 1.9 so I think it's fine how it is.

[TouchPad General] LordGeek:
Knowing that everything for CM7 is done with the internal memory .. is there a way of hiding directories that are for Android from webOS ?

What I am meaning in regards to this .. If I use something like a Wallpaper App from Android Market that creates a folder in my Internal Memory .. 1 - keeping images within that directory and 2 - cache files created from searching .. now that this app is up and functioning in CM7, if I switch back to webOS and click on something like "Photos" (being webOS gallery) .. ALL these files show up + more .. webOS searches everything for images, so I'm getting 100 folders (cache folders from Android) showing up with crap ALL in my webOS Gallery.

So .. is there a way of getting webOS to NOT see directories that are for Android ONLY ???

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] LordGeek:
WoW.. 52 readers and not one response.

[TouchPad General] kmdub:
To keep media items from showing up on the Android side, just put an empty ".nomedia" file in the directory that you do not want scanned for media. For webOS, it is something similar, although I don't know the exact filename at this time. Basically, just put the proper file in the directories that you do not want scanned. Put both files in one directory if you want, one for Android, one for webOS.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
You mean your internal storage? Or the actual sd card that comes out? If you're referring to the actual sd card, then yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] newtg:
can you switch the internal memory? so the galaxy s can have a 16gig internal with a 16 gig external memory card?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tinkererx:
The 16 GB that is advertised on the GS4G is actually the SD Card that comes with the device (your warranty replacement may not, however). The actual internal storage is much smaller so if you have an SD card that is 16 and you put it in the GS4G, you will still only have a bit more than 16GB

I honestly don't think it's possible. I've asked this same question before, and was given this same answer... I don't think it was implemented until sense 2.0.
[EVO 4G General] webfeind:
I have looked also and the resources are there for landscape Rosie. Leeds me to think this is simply disabled, but I'm not the best at reading smali. I would try setting it to landscape to see if that even works. But do keep in mind that even if the xml file is set to landscape the smali code could still be enforcing portrait. So you may have to look for code that is setting this.

Also I have had luck merging smali code from different versions of HTC apps. Perhaps you can take the parts that are missing from 1.0 to make this work out of a 2.0 Rosie.apk.

Either way good luck.

If you have root explorer or es file explorer you long press on your animation and goto properties and it should say "permissions. Rw-- r- r" if not you have to change them to match

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sideburnsam:
I tried to do a search on this but found nothing, and I'm also apologizing ahead of time if I'm posting in the wrong section.

I am trying to get my LG G2x to a stock ROM using this guide: (can't post link since it's my first post, but it's "how to unroot the tmobile g2x" at the unlocker.

I was able to follow the steps and installed clockworkmod on the phone (v4.0.1.5). I am however having problem on step 6. When I do the the backup on clockworkmod (CWM), it automatically is doing the backup on the phone's internal memory, and not the sd card.

I tried to mount the phone with the PC and cut and paste the folder to the SD card, thinking CWM would pick it up after a reboot of the phone. However, this is not the case. I tried to find the SD card by trying to do "install zip from SDcard" in CWM, but there is only a DCIM folder in the _ExternalSD folder, and nothing else. No matter what I do, the backup is always saving to the internal memory, and not the SD card. If I leave the backup on the phone's memory, it is showing up under recovery in CWM, but I'm guessing it's not possible to flash the phone while it's running from the internal memory.

I formatted the card at least 3 times, and even tried another card just to be sure, but no luck still.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to do something to mount the card or unmount the phone memory? :confused: If anyone could please help. I have to send in my phone for warranty in a few days, and I desperately need to get it back to stock. Thanks.

assert(run_program("/tmp/erase_image", "boot"));
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
run_program("/tmp/bml_over_mtd.sh", "boot", "72", "reservoir", "2004", "/tmp/boot.img"),

that looks like the relevant parts....good luck on getting a crappy sdk port....those things are terrible.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
oh trust me I have voiced my opinion on Verizon forums, but I doubt they pay much attention to our gripes. Take Motorola for example my first 2 android phones were Motorola and by the second phone I hated them for their locked BL and their horrid MotoBlurp. SE is a hell of a lot better, love them compared to Moto especially when they helped CyanogenMod with getting the rom on their phones and then of course the "bloatware beingremoved from their phones". The kernel not being released for 2.3.3 may be Verizons issue but at least I can unlock the bootloader and throw in custom kernels if I want. Something I could never do on my old phones. But your right I have some issues with Verizon not letting people use their phones the way THEY want to considering I sold my moto phone to buy my Xplay outright for $200 US dollars. So yes I am much happier with SE but do hate the kernel not being released. Hopefully someone will leak it out or figure out how to extract / convert it from the 2.3.3 download files in the system folder. Sorry for the long thread. The loss of no kernel release is a small cry in an otherwise great device, I have never regretted this device.

Just heard from a friend he works for Verizon in their corporate division and he told me 2.3.4 update should be released soon. Course he told me not to hold it to him.... so I wont believe it till I see it.... (cough)

You have to make a soecial folder at the root of the SD card

Called media

In it put a file for what u want

For notifications

Notifications

Then change file name for notification ringtones to.

.ogg

For other folders leave them as mp3

Folders would be

Ringtones

Alarms

So it would look like this

Media/notifications

Media/ribgtones

Media/alarms
