Touch screen accuracy!

As you can undestand from the title i think i have an inaccurate touch screen. I have fairly large fingers and i have noticed that i make a lot of mistakes when i write(doesn't matter what keyboard i use cause i tried most of them).

Mistakes that i do nat make on my ipod touch which also has a smaller screen.

So how can i test that accuracy is as it should on my phone or do i need to send my pbone for repairs?thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
hi guys,

it happened already 2 times that when i am on call and if i minimize the call to the stauts bar (while on call, push home screen, check sms or whatever, so call is at the top with the green highlight thingie), after a while call would be stuck and if i do "end" then it would be stuck there for a while, it's really annoying... first time solved by using task manager and killing all apps, retrying to call a few times, then eventually worked..

now just happened 10 minutes ago and it pissed me off bigtime i removed the battery straight away...

is it yet another VERY annoying bug of the phone??? i am starting to wonder if these companies do test the phones before selling them!!!!

i am on XEUK generic firmware unlocked, unbranded and 2.3.4

thanks all

unpackbootimg from there works just fine. If I had found this working binary before I probably would not have written my own. Still, I'm happy that I did.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Good work dudes!

But the question is... if you want to do changes to ramdisk too? Would Anykernel method be able to get rid of it?

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] aprold:
Do you mean replacing kernel and/or ramdisk inside boot image? I must say, I don't know much about ramdisk yet, but it would be simple task to update kinjector to allow both parts replaced. However, then I must change the name of the tool to binjector ;)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi,

the question is (I can try by myself, but I've no time ATM), apart from zImage, does the script extract the ramdisk into a folder?

If in the process the ramdisk is extracted, it's possible to make mods to the files with the updater-script.

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
The purpose of AnyKernel (and this kernel injector) is to maximize compatibility by only flashing the zImage and keeping the ramdisk out of it. For this, during the flash process it will unpack boot.img into ramdisk + zImage and replace the latter. But of course, it's possible to change the script to also replace files in the ramdisk (such as init.rc) - at least in AnyKernel - but it somewhat defeats the whole purpose of it.
[LG Optimus Black] aprold:
Yes, unpackbootimg does. But inside extracted compressed ramdisk file there is a ramdisk image. I don't see how you can modify this with update-script.

[Nook Color General] BobbyRayburn:
An issue recently popped up with Netflix on my wife's rooted Nook Color. It is demanding an upgrade with every attempt to run the application. In the passed, when an upgrade message would pop up, all I had to do was to tap "cancel" and I could continue on to use the app. Now, there is a message "New version of application is found, you must upgrade to be able to use application" pops up. If I tap cancel, I am exited out of the program. If I tap ok, I am taken to the Market where I can't download the "new version" because of my device "is not compatible" with it.

I have not found much on this. There are a few posts about it in Cyanogen's forum section but no one has posted a fix for it that has worked for me. Here are the fixes that have been posted and that I've already tried.

1. uninstalling and reinstalling.

2. changing the pixel density to 160

3. Clearing the market cache

4. upgrading from Netflix 1.4apk to 1.5apk

I rooted this Nook with Cyanogen's RC1 install and all had been going well. Everything had been going just fine until this issue cropped up last week.

Anyone have the same experience? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nook Color General] refreblast:
Yup, CM 7.1 is your beat bet. For the longest time, Netflix woredfor m and the it all of a sudden stopped working. I spent several days trying to figure out what was wrong wwith it because it happened after itbhad updated. The only thing I got to work for me was to uninstall it and download it again from the market. I don't know why that's not working for you. But look on the bright side - whenever you get it working again, you get to use that awesome new tablet UI.
[Nook Color General] Dexter Douglas:
I ran into the same issue running CM7 7.1. If you've got the Amazon Marketplace installed, you can get Netflix from there. I didn't have any issues downloading it and installing form there. The new UI is REALLY nice.
[Nook Color General] BobbyRayburn:
Thanks everybody. Upgrading to 7.1 did the trick. ...and to Dexter Douglas, you're right! The new UI is great!

Pretty sure I meantioned the new UI first, but I'm glad it worked out for ya.
[Nook Color General] nspeer:
i am running the original Phiremod based on CM7. I just installed Netflix from the Amazon Market after being unsuccessful with any other method. I logged in and started up a movie. So Far, so good. But Wait There's no sound. Using the hard button to try to increase media volume did not work. So, I closed Netflix and went into settings, sound, volume, media volume. I dragged the slider to the right but it always reverts to no volume (slider reverts all the way to the left). I'm Going to reboot and if it's fixed, I'll report back. If it's not, I'll uninstall Netflix. If i still have no media sound, I'll be back here in a panic asking for help! !

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vk4945:
If you want to develop apps with Eclipse on the Archos tablet you must have access to the device via adb.

There is a nice description how to install the adb-driver on an archos 101.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866418

But the Archos 70b has a different PID.

I did it with the following settings

first step:

Copy the directory "google-usb_driver" from you android-sdk to a location on c:

Locate the file android_winusb.inf

Add as last line in [Google.NTx86]

; Arcos 70b Reader

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1409

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1409&MI_01

this lines must be located before the next block

[Google.NTamd64]

The Vendor ID and the PID are taken from properties in the device manager.

Connect the tablet with usb and the normal driver installation procedure will take place. Select the google-usb_driver directory and install from there.

The system should set a recovery-point and install the adb-driver

if it was successfull you shoud see a new symbol in the device manager.

second step:

search in the directory "Documents and settings" for a directory ".android".

modify or create the file adb_usb.ini.

It should contain the following information

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.

# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.

# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.

0X0E79

Restart the adb (or the computer) and you should see the device in Eclipse in the ddms perspective.

I like the Amazon MP3 app. I think the player is minimalistic [which I like], the widget is simple, the downloads are simple, it has a built-in equalizer, and it doesn't to be a battery hog like some other players. All that said...does anyone know of a darker themed Amazon MP3 app? I'm getting bored with the same old silvery grey.

I too use the Amazon Music app for most of my audio etc... So a dark theme would be great
[HTC Desire S] kavenj:
Does using something like adw or a gingerbread launcher slow down the performance of the phone compared to the stock HTC sense and also is there any point in using them
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
nope, they don't slow down much, but Sense launcher is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than any other launcher IMO, but it's a matter of personal choice.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Sry to say, but go launcher & adw have much more possibilities to modify (groups/folders in appdrawer is just one from a few) and go launcher is also an eyecandy and has like sense his own widget set (including skins) for contacts etc.

But like you said it's a matter of personal choice^^
[HTC Desire S] MarlX:
Hey, it's a Desire S, Launchers can't slow us down! :D

Seriously, I haven't encountered (yet) slowness using launchers. I am only using Go Launcher EX though.
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
I am a fan of Go Launcher myself, but recently tried Launcher Pro again... and I must say I was blown away... I have Superkids MIUI installed which runs incredibly smooth and snappy and together with Launcher Pro the best combination I ever had on my DS. IMHO Sense is just a waste of space and resources... :-P
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah if you want to use a launcher use an aosp rom. Sense will still be running and will also be killing your battery
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
If your rooted you can kill it ;)

[HTC Desire S] kavenj:
I am not rooted or anything how can I root . Is it possible without s - off
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
It's possible with a goldcard, but with this you only can get temp root, that means you have to root it again after each restart.

If your interested in the procedure, look at the index thread.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elguaxo:
If I start charging the phone when it's turned off, the xRecovery menu appears as soon as I turn it on. Is there a way to fix this? I've searched the forums and I've seen a couple of people mentioning this minor issue, but couldn't find a solution.

The phone is an E15a that went from 2.1.1.A.0.6 (base 15) to FroyoBread v023b and now to GingerDX v019.

I got xRecovery from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878426 and I installed CWM-recovery-4.0.1.5-e15-Amend.zip for upgrading FroyoBread to the latest GingerDX.

It's just a minor annoyance, but I wonder if I there is a way to fix this. The missus freaks out when she gets the strange menu. :p
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
Lol, I get the same. Here:

Phone is off.

I connected charger.

Phone turns on to the battery picture.

I hold lock button down.

Then FreeXperia recovery mode opens up.

I just click reboot and its fine.

But I though GingerDx only came installed with CWM and xRecovery.

I never installed FreeXperia recovery mode.

Lol.

Anyway, its weird.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopman:
Freexperia recovery is the same as xrecovery
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codfreak:
You get this if you have Dual-Mode-recovery,because then any hardware button lets you boot intoe the FXp recovery.

Unfortunately, you cant power your phone off with FXP-recovery, what is a bit annoying, because then you have to boot to CWM to power the phone off, or you boot Android and let the phone charge while it´s on.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elguaxo:
Yep, that's it. I don't mind getting the "battery picture" when I plug in the charger. What's annoying is that I land in the xRecovery menu when I want to turn my phone on. It's just a minor thing, I just have to select "reboot" from the xRecovery menu, but still...

I got the same problem when I was only on FroyoBread v023b. At that point I had only xRecovery. CWM came much later when I wanted to install GingerDX v019.

dbts25 says it's only for a stock firmware, so I wonder if I can use it on my GingerDX v019.

Since all the newer ROMs need only CWM, is there a way to uninstall xRecovery and keep only the current version of CWM I have?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoid_zero:
GingerXperia V13 and V14 still likes to be installed using xrecovery.

Keep xrecovery you'll never know when you need it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbts25:
It can be fixed by moving one line in chargemon to another position. If you will compare chargemon from GingerDX and the one I have uploaded you will see difference. Make backup in recovery first, because if something is wrong it will brick your phone, then replace chargemon in /system/bin with this one from archive and don't forget to set permissions. I haven't tested it (I can't install GingerDX now), but it should work.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] r2tbone:
I do not have any data to prove it, but I work the Nook counter at B&N and there is a very obvious difference in the response. I've had my NT since Tuesday and there's no way I would go back to a NC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ishater:
I spent some time at B&N playing with the NT. IMHO, and in a totally subjective manner, it flies compared to the NC.

Page turns are super smooth, video plays beautifully, and the general response of the device is excellent.

Oh, and it feels MUCH lighter. I know it is supposed to be 10% lighter, but it feels very nice. I almost picked one up yesterday, but waiting for some B&N gift certs from some award programs to save $$ :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
It depend on if you compare stock NT with stock NC.

From my brief experience owning a NT and currently rocking my CM7.1 NC. When overclocking the NC to 1.3ghz, most everyday operations doesn't differ too much between NC and NT, home scrolling, book page turning, webpage loading, etc. However during CPU or GPU intensive task, like watching a streaming video online or playing a demanding game (not angry bird), the CPU and GPU on NT really shines.

Unfortunately, there is not many demanding game in the Nook store right now, and watching flash streaming video online have some minor, but noticeable video flickering issues (most likely a software problem that will be fix in the next firmware update).

So if you don't have NC currently, or rocking a stock software NC, upgrade make a noticeable difference. However if you already OC your NC, then the decision to upgrade will have to depend on your use case.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Balzard:
Check the video about halfway through the article, I think it will give you an idea (at least in comparison with NC stock speed, I don't know how much the NC is snappier when overclocked).

How about the screen NT? Is it accurate and responsive? especially on corners. thats my major complain on NC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ishater:
I have to admit that the linked article makes the NT seem very ho-hum. I think nothing beats using the device yourself to really compare it to the NC.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nuenjin:
I haven't checked in the NC forum for the appropriate information but I eagerly await quadrant/linpack/antutu scores for the NT to see what we are really dealing with.

The same goes for the Fire. I mean we know the specs but we need something more quantifiable than, 'it's much more snappy' or whatever.

No offense intended to anyone. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] unsivil_audio:
That and fingerprint visibility annoys the hell out of me, constantly wiping the screen and it still not being clean.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gordon1hd1:
Don't rely on Quadrant or Linpack for accurate benchmarks, because they don't capture real life performance. Case and point, here is my NC running CM7.1 OC at 1.3ghz, which show a Quadrant score faster those most tegra 2 tablet out in the market today. This is incorrect, an OC Cortext-A8 processor cannot beat out a normal Tegra2 processor under any circumstance.

[Kindle Fire General] rullingen:
Okay here's the deal.

I'm really not bothered about the amazon services, does not bother me in the slightest. However looking at the specs of the Kindle Fire its a solid piece of equipment for $200 (£126.12).

My question is, is anyone, or has anyone heard about anybody working on a custom android ROM for the Kindle Fire? A dual core tablet half the price of anything we have of the same specs in the UK is very tempting if so.

My folks will be in New York on the 11th of december and I'll get them to pick me one up if so but only if there's a good chance of a usable ROM being developed sometime soon.

Cheers in advance for any help/advice/news.
[Kindle Fire General] stocaprimo:
I guess no one is working on a custom ROM actually, but as you can see in "development section" the scene is very active: they got the ROM dump, the source code, root and working google apps. So it is just a matter of time, I bet we'll have a stable custom ROM by the end of the year.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Iczer:
I'm at my 2 year upgrade eligibility and I'm assuming like most of you, I love the latest and greatest of everything. I know of the LOS and there should be a patch on the way. I know of the crappy support of most Samsung phones.

That being said, the ET4G seems like a pretty sweet phone. What are your opinions as owners, should I use my upgrade or should I stick it out on my OG EVO? Would you have rather waited? Most articles I've seen say that the first LTE phones aren't due until mid 2012, which is a ways away. I'm not gonna lie, it'll be tough if I have to wait that long for an upgrade lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
If you have a family plan and another line you could upgrade by mid 2012,I would upgrade to the e4gt now. If you are the only phone on your acct and have to wait 22 months, I would wait to see what comes out toward the end of the first quarter. That's what I would do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G1-8701:
I would get it, the E4gT is a great phone with active devs, great forum support(minus the people that thrive on giving u a hard time), but i can see this phone hanging in there with the phones that'll be coming out within the next few months(most likely longer). Amazing screen(best one on a phone to date IMO), great battery life, beautiful camera, ROMs are constantly updated and more seem to be rolling in, which will keep u happy until ICS drops. I made the switch from the Motorola Atrix which was also an amazing phone, but i can see myself holding on to this phone until my upgrade(2013) so i'd definitely recommend it.

But overall it's about what u your looking for in a phone, either way this is the best phone sprint has and will have for a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Iczer:
I'm not picky on what I want. I just want to get the best phone for the money and need it to last until my next upgrade which would be in 2 years. The dev community looks pretty good here, so that's obviously a plus. I don't need a particular ROM to be available either, I like to try out multiple until i find one that suits me best.

Amazon wireless has an upgrade for $129.99, I just missed out on the 99.99 deal. But that's not too bad. I wonder if there would be any deals on it for Black Friday?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdeathike:
Radioshak is gonna have it for 99 on black Friday
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
I would wait until the los issues are resolved then get the E4GT. You never know if the fix will work. It might just be a work around and still have issues. Atleast By waiting until the los fix you still have options. Trust me, the los issues make this phone unreliable. And now sprint is even started to deny the los issues even exist, it's frustrating to say the least. KEEP THE EVO FOR NOW. I wish I had. I had the mikmik roms on my evo 4g and it was great. Again the only issue with the Evo was the battery life and that's why I say keep the Evo until the los issues on the E4GT are resolved.

Edit: I think the phone being at $99 hints that sales have slowed down. I also believe that without the Los issues the phone would have held its price.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Iczer:
Thanks, that's probably the best idea to go by. I just have an itch for upgrading, but also don't want to make things worse. I'll try and hold off for a while, and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I would not upgrade to this phone until Sprint/Samsung fixes the LOS issue. I wish I had, it's been a nightmare for me. Too many missed calls, too many missed txts, and too many explanations to work and wife that my phone sucks and Sprint will do NOTHING to make it right.
