From what I've heard anything with a HD or qhd display can't use gorilla glass because of some property of it that messes up the resolution.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] msgnyc:
Beh, I'll still put a screen protector on a gorilla glass display.

After having a Dell Streak and hearing how great Gorilla Glass was and how I would nolonger need a screen protector, I was sorely letdown after I started seeing all these little scratches all over my screen nonetheless....

I went back to using a screen protector where I know my screen will be protected and if it gets all scuffed up, I just peel it off and put on another.

Gorilla Glass is not Scratch Proof. Its just more scratch then the normal glass.

Not saying it's not a big plus, but not having it isn't a deal breaker imho either.

Gorilla Glass is good, but it's not fool proof... a 2 ft drop (from my pocket, while seated) face down on to ceramic tile was all it took.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartik50:
So basically what happened was that I had MIUI latest version (11.28 or something) and I flashed a Speedmod kernel. The thing is, MIUI had a bug which meant USB wasn't mounting, even in CWM. I had no backup, as I was only flashing a kernel, and not a fully fledged ROM, and now the phone won't boot. It goes to Galaxy SII screen with yellow triangle, and then just shuts off. I'm really worried that I've lost my SII for ever now, so can anyone help me?

Kartik

[UPDATE]

Odin doesn't recognise the phone either. Don't see a way out of this one.....

[UPDATE #2]

Of course I do! The way to do it was buy a micro sd card and reader, put a compatible kernel on that, and flash THAT off the SGSII

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikai_yang:
Why does update 2 sound a little wrong... Flash a kernel on external sd?? You know the bootloader resides on the system partition eh.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foladko:
Hey,

there is a problem with the proximity sensor on my phone during a call.

The screen keeps turning off and on during a call if I don't hold it in a uncomfortable way, the fact that the speaker grill is really badly designed for calling doesn't help.

Anyway, some time ago I saw a thread here with an app that could calibrate the sensor (+- sensitivity). I did a search just now but couldn't find it, so I was hoping someone could help me out.

Thanks!

the rejection i am getting on rom manager is "an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands... sorry i am kinda a beginner on my 3D..rooting on my evo prior was so much simpler...and i used to use shoot me and all of a sudden it couldnt acess root permissions...

[HTC EVO 3D] themuffinman:
Do you have superuser installed on your phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
looks like your bootloader is still unlocked, which is a very good sign.

more than likely the permissions on your root access where changed at some point in time. either from loading a ROM or removing/adding superuser.apk incorrectly.

my application, root checker pro, will show all the necessary information in order to troubleshoot.

my guess would be, you'll probably need to install the superuser.zip file from recovery mode and that should add the /system/bin/su binary for Superuser.apk back and set the permissions as 4755 on the su binary. this is the most common and simplist method of properly restoring root access for Superuser.apk users.

if you want, feel free to post up the root checker pro results and we can specifically troubleshoot. hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramseyattar:
my results were:

Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.

The following link is a suggested Guide for obtaining root access on your device. No guarantee the guide will work. Please use the guide with CAUTION!! Suggested guide for your device:

http://www.revolutionary.io/

Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - version 3.0.6 is installed!

System Environment PATH: /sbin /vendor/bin /system/sbin /system/bin /system/xbin

The adb binary is set to default shell user access as a standard non-root user

Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/bin/su:

---xr---wt root root 26324 2011-08-12 15:27 su

Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/xbin/su:

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-09-07 20:28 su -> /system/bin/su

Alternate su binary location:

/sbin/su: Permission denied

Alternate su type binary location:

/system/xbin/sudo: No such file or directory

SU binary not found or not operating properly
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Those results are perfect in that they show exactly what the issue is!

If you are familar with ADB, the process is very simple to fix your root access. I've done this many times! A basic but important process to learn, in my opinion.

Reboot to recovery, from a computer type, adb shell and issue two commands as follows:

mount /system /system

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

go ahead and reboot.

Alternatively, if you're not familar with adb, the next simpliest approach, in my opinion would be to load the Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip file onto your sdcard. reboot into recovery and "flash"/install the .zip file. The superuser.zip file will execute the above commands for you.

Run Root Checker Pro again and it should trigger superuser prompting whether or not to grant root checker access. go ahead and grant it root access.

Root Checker Pro should confirm you have root access and for the /system/bin/su line it should show an "s" in the middle of the permissions, example: rwxsr-xr-x root root 26324 2011-08-12 15:27 su . the "s" being in the middle is important as this is the setuid bit essentially granting the su binary superuser permission/access.

Reasons the permissions were changed on the /system/bin/su binary ... really hard to say but we can narrow down the causes. In order to change the permission, the process/device/application would need root access. Everything executed in recovery mode usually runs as root and many users don't inspect the updater-script file of the ROM .zip before they load.

Sometimes flashing ROMs, which aren't setup properly, will remove or set incorrect permissions removing the setuid bit on the su binary.

Also, flashing an OTA file would definitely remove the setuid bit on the su binary.

Hope that helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
To keep track of what sgs II is in the news is hard enough already. International sgs II, At&t sgs II, T-Mobile sgs II, and the really long named Samasung Galaxy S II Epic 4g touch.

But *now* we have the sgs II Skyrocket. And the reason for my most recent frustration is that even though it has obviously different hardware, from the At&t sgs II, for some reason it has been grouped on Xda as the same phone.

I do my best to keep up on development for phones across the board. But this is killing me. Am I missing something? Is it just me?

Is the skyrocket 100% compatible with our phone? Interchangeable roms, kernels, and modems? Because if that's the case, please ignore me and my stupidity, and delete this thread.

But if that isn't the case, I have to imagine I'm echoing At&t sgs II and sgs II Skyrocket users frustration, and beg that please, please give our phones their own forum that they deserve.

Yours truly,

SGS II Owner

I was slightly disappointed when i checked the forums this morning and noticed at&t sgh-i777 general forum first page was filled with questions about the at&t sgh-i727..

Granted they are both at&t phones, and at&t gave them similar names, they are NOT similar phones. From my understanding the skyrocketed has more in common with the t-mobile version than the at&t sgsII.

I vote they get their own forum or at least own subsectionS (plural) not just one subsection

Hi,

My Desire S doesn't want to boot after a restore to stock ROM. I was running Hyperion 2.1 I wiped all the caches in recovery and then restored the nandroid backup. When the setup was finished I rebooted the phone but now it doesn't want to boot. It stays at the white HTC boot screen.

I can however boot up the phone in restore mode. But when I try to restore the nandroid backup it says:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Make a folder "android" in your C:/ drive. You should have C:\android path in your Windows Explorer when you open it.

Connect your phone to the PC, reboot the phone to recovery, open cmd on your PC and type:

cd C:\android

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
Hey all. I have a new symptom that has occurred with my EVO 4G. If I reboot it, upon starting back up, it shows the white screen with HTC EVO4G; shortly after, about 30secs, it blinks and then sits at a blank white screen. I have to pull the battery several times before it decides to boot normally. The last thing that I did to it was flash the RedHot Forever theme (im running MikG 2.59) a week ago and all had been fine. My phone will heat up very hot around 115degrees while off the charger and me surfing, texting, and such. Is my CPU possibly about to bite the dust? I was thinking of taking it to Sprint today; they will most likely say it's bad and replace with another EVO 4G or an EVO3D or possibly the SSGII or I will have to pay the $100 deductible to get it fixed. What should I do?

My first thought is did you do a proper wipe before flashing your ROMS?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
I do a full wipe before flashing any ROM. I usually use Virus's Superwipe as well as King's wipe script. I just did a full wipe and installing MikG again from scratch so I should be able to tell in a few if it's the theme or the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostsoul77:
Running a fresh install and just did a reboot and all is booting up normally. It must've been the theme as it modified the boot animation when i flashed the theme. Now back to re-arranging my homescreen and flashing the theme again.

If you open dialer immeditely after the phone boots up, on screen phone starts to hog battery. So let the phone sit for a while, 10 minutes or so, and this doesn't happen.

Let me introduce a brand new psychology (and may be not only) testing system application for windows phone.

Current release is beta and contains two tests.

The first one is from just for fun series and shows the possibilities of testing engine.

The second one is based on scientific research of the world-famous Ukrainian scientist Tsukanov.

Let me briefly describe what this test is about.

You know that a microprocessor has it own tact-frequency. So the main idea is that every human-being also has such frequency. The test allows to count this frequency and shows some interesting information based on this number.

In future there will be much more information and data available as the results of this test.

Here are the future plans:

1) Stabilize the application, fix bugs.

2) Add more tests.

3) Go to marketplace.

4) Update = new tests. (Any suggestions are appreciated)

5) May be to add the ability to add user-made tests. Engine is ready but there's still no editor for it.

6) ...

7) Profit!

For now everybody who thinks this is interesting - please test it and test yourself and say what you think!

Thanks!

P.S.

You can tweet your results from the second test.
