[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] luvkillin:
Ok so the digitizer on my milestone went bad about a month ago, i ordered one off ebay and installed it myself. unfortunately while doing so i ripped the flex ribbon that has the sensors attached to it. went on ebay again and ordered that part and installed it, didnt destroy anything this time.

put the phone back together and everything seemed to be working fine, then i got a call, the person on the other end couldnt hear me and the proximity sensor caused the screen to go blank even before i put the phone to my ear

if i put the phone on speaker phone the person hears me but its very low im told, inserting the headset works fine, person can hear me perfectly.

i tried doing a recording with the phones sound recorder and all i hear is a hissing type sound when i play it back, i also downloaded an app to test the proximity sensor and its showing a distance of zero and when i put my finger near and further away from it its still saying zero.

tried doing a battery pull..hard reset, reflashing the froyomod that i have install and nothing seems to work, could this be a defect with the flex ribbon i bought? would this ribbon affect the microphone?

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I also damaged the flex ribbon while changing the digitizer... where did you get the ribbon? Anywhere in the EU?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] luvkillin:
got it off ebay..it was shipped from china

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lgnd:
I have the same problem and it's the effect of the digitizer replacement. Light can get access to the sensor between the digitizer and the sensor. If you press the left upper side of the digitizer the proximity sensor is working again, very annoying during calls. I tried to put some spongy tape behind the sensor and the metal backing plate it's better but not perfect.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] o2xygen:
Luvkillin, have you been able to fix this abomination of a mobile phone? I had a malfunctioning digitiser and replaced it, after that the microphone stopped working so i thought that I had broken the microphone. Changed the audio pcb and turns out that its still not working. My prox sensor also doesn't work but with all the other problems this is just a nuisance.

I found that motorola couldn't be arsed specifying the second microphone that is on the logic board and some acting as noise cancelling. I installed a db meter app and picks approximately 25db except when the phone rings which goes to 65db. So if the noise cancelling module is disabled by software, the mic could work without changing the logic board.

Did you manage to fix it?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] luvkillin:
No i havent, its just sitting at home in a drawer :mad:

i also installed a db meter app and got a consistent 16-19db when the phone is not in use. i assumed that it was too much of a coincidence that everything was working before and as soon as i changed the cable and digitizer they stopped working. plus the digitizer and cable i bought was for the milestone a855 and i have a a853. when i checked they seemed to be the same but i guess not.

im planning to just buy a new digitizer and cable for my phone specifically and see how it goes.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] o2xygen:
I believe its the noise reduction microphone damaged at some point in the disassembly. Did you check the 3 gold pins on the right upper side of the logic board?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] luvkillin:
Yea i did. dont see any damage at all to the pins or the board
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] _KazmirZ_:
The same problem here. I've changed digitizer and my proximity sensor stopped working. So I thought that I broke it during the work. I've ordered new main flex with the sensor. It was much better but still not perfect. But microphone went down. I think the problem is microphone board or the flex cable that connects it to the mainboard. Did you manage to solve the problem? I've ordered new mic and new flex.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] luvkillin:
Nope..still no fix

did that fix yours?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] luvkillin:
anyone knows how to disable to noise cancellation microphone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] scholbert:
Hi guys,

to refer to the proximity sensor issue, i'd like to point you on my old post over here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9810999&postcount=8

Please check for the rubber...

Concerning the microphone, this might be related to the electrical contacts of the mic.

Please make sure again that everthing is right in place.

Would not harm to check the flex cable connectors as well.

Regards,

Solved problem

Hi to all,

I had problem with my proximity sensor, it didn't work at all. (I had cm7, cm6 and cm9 rom)

I installed stock rom and it works again. :)))

Microphone problem

Hi all !, I'm having a similar issue after change the digitizer, I'm not having any issue with the proximity sensor ... but is not the case with my microphone, when I answered a call my voice is heard into the speaker and the other person didn't hear me .. somebody found a solution to this problem ? Thanks all !
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Keeper2077:
Had simular problem after replacing digitazer. if i press hard on upper side of the screen, then for some time everything comes to normal. So i desided to heat it up using a hair dyer for about 10 minutes, than press as hard as i can and wait till cool down. now everything is fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus359:
I have tried to find information on this, and I'm struggling.

What file system does the evo use by default? I know it's EXT2 and fat32 for camera card, but the main partitions I do not know. Yaffs?

I've heard things about Yaffs2+EXT2 (refered to as godmode), using EXT2, using Yaffs, and using EXT4, with or without journaling. I want to make my file system faster. I keep finding very diluted information that never gives the whole picture. How does yaffs2+EXT2 work? How do the different options perform relative to eachother?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus359:
I'm guessing nobody is going to answer... got pushed a couple pages back on the forum
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
I'll tell you what I know, which is limited. the ext2/3/4 are used for storing apps/cache on the sdcard. It is separate from the fat32 partition which is where everything else on the sdcard is stored, ie pics/roms/backups... Having an ext partition setup will not automatically speed up your phone. You must use a sdcard that is class 6 or higher to give you the speed you desire. The ext2 partition is used with godmode i believe. I had better results from the non-godmode synergy, so I didn't bother learning everything that I should have. Ext3 is what is primarily used for DTA2SD, which I have been using for 2 or 3 years now. I have yet to see a rom that uses ext4. The only thing I have seen about it, is the recommendation to stay away.

Not sure about YAFFS, you could always google it though.

Thanks, this was helpful.

I am running ext4 from a a script on my gtab. Can i run ext4 with this script on the evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubes6al4v:
I read somewhere that the evo cannot use ext 4. Check out synergy god mode, it has some weird hybrid file system if I remember correctly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
EVO default is YAFFS2. Godmode is YAFFS2 + EXT2. EXT2 and file sytem and YAFFS2 as wear leveler layer.

Read a little on Linux history, I know that EXT2,3, and 4 are newer than any YAFFS, with EXT4 being the new standard for now. Basically all of the new phones use EXT4 now, that was made the new standard or something of the sort with Gingerbread.

[HTC Sensation] doc2142:
So I posted on another thread that I am having issues with my 4g working on the new custom rom with T Mobile USA, after reading around some more I found out (not exactly sure about this) but that the custom rom (cyanogenmod) does not work well with t mobile sensation 4g.

I never backed up my stock rom, how do I revert back to it? do I just do a wipe? do I just do it like installing a custom rom but just point it to a stock rom?

Thanks guys.
[HTC Sensation] kaof:
Wiping won't revert you to stock if you're already on a custom rom.

It just... wipes your phone. Stock roms install with a RUU executable, not a flashable zip like custom roms.

Follow this guide to write SUPERCID if you haven't done so. It lets you flash any rom that is carrier/region locked.

Then pick your choice of RUU from this thread and flash. These are all stock roms.

Remember to backup cause it will wipe everything.
[HTC Sensation] doc2142:
Do I need to do the SUPERCID if I am flashing to TMOUS rom? since this phone came with out I don't need it right?

EDIT:

Also to confirm on how to install the stock rom, I just put that into my root directory. Go to recovery, wipe everything, than install from sdcard correct? No need to do anything special?
[HTC Sensation] kaof:
You won't have to write SUPERCID if your phone came with TMOUS stock. It is highly recommended though, unless you are perfectly sure the RUU you download is the right one.

Download the relevant file to your PC, connect your device via USB and double-click the executable. You won't need to copy it to sd or go into recovery. It will do everything for you.

Word of warning. Do not, under ANY circumstances interrupt the RUU update process. You will brick the phone.

EDIT: Remember to check the MD5 before flashing
[HTC Sensation] doc2142:
Awesome it worked. Also my 4g data works on stock firmware.

Does this mean the custom rom I installed (cyanogenmod) Wont work with my carrier?

I tried installing different radios it didn't work, though on stock rom it works perfectly.
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
Custom roms work fine with Tmous. The only difference is the 4g icon does not display.

It is the same in data speeds.

On Tmous stock Rom it constantly says 4g.

It will not switch the icon back and forth.

Bit it is switching internally.

There is no difference in the connection speeds at all.

Hello all,

Sorry if the answer is out there, but i coul not find it.

I have been trying to make the gtalk vid work on my o2x

here is what I tried :

I installed the talk1.3zip file I found in xda forums for o2x ; with it, I have been able to initiate only one vid call, receiving sound fron "rd party but not emitting sound.

If i tried to make another call, it was just not getting away from the contact list.

To solve that, reboot needed.

Then I tried another software gtalkvid-signed.zip (also found on xda), and there were no luck at all to make any vid call.

Do you know if I am doing something wrong ? do you know a working gtalk out there ?

ps : after installing the zips in recovery mode, i didnt wiped any caches

I found on ebay this leather case for our lovely SGN: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A1-EASECA...307038?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item56471d8f5e

Has anyone tried this case and do you know where can be found same type of case with lower price?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
Easecase cases are very high quality as i bought one before for my Sensation. I've never seen them cheaper than what you see on Ebay as they are each custom made. I was thinning about the E5 or E6 versions but at a cost of over £60 it's a lot for a case. Excellent quality, you get what you pay for.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] SXiCate:
I had an Easecase for my Dell Streak and despite the rather high cost, I'll be purchasing one for my not yet owned white Gnote ...

They're fabulous quality and you can choose from so many options with regard to colour, design, size ... I asked for my Streak case to have a hole so I could attach a strap and they were happy to do this even though not their usual design. Sold on ebay and ships from Hong Kong and even though custom made, the turnaround was excellent, allow several weeks though.

Overall outstanding!!

Now I just need my Note :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] kentmartin:
E5 ordered

I've ordered the E5 in the hopes I can entirely replace my wallet with it.

Once the looooong wait is over to get it, I'll post a my thoughts and feelings.

If anyone has ordered something from these guys before, how long did it actually take to get it.

I'm in Sweden at the moment, and, strangely, mail to here seems to come a lot quicker than it does to the UK - at least based on my ordering stuff from the US and the EU since I have been here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psionic11:
I'll be watching this thread also, as I'm considering getting a custom-made case for my Note as well.

I'm aiming to replace my wallet. I'd like to keep my credit and debit cards, my workplace badge/ID card, my car spare key, and some cash all available on the Note. A friend jokingly called me ridiculous for wanting to keep all those possessions in one place, because if it ever got lost....

But for the past year my Vibrant has been at my side constantly, save a day or two. I've taken to wearing a stereo BT headset for awhile now, and it beeps if I get out of range of the Note, so there's a reminder.

One of my main concerns, though, is the day to day accessibility that might be impeded by the wallet/case enclosure. Will the flap over the screen fold back all the way out of the way? Will the Note + leather case be too thick and cumbersome for the pocket? Will the Note's CPU get overly warm? How about the stylus access? Can the flap double as both a vertical and horizontal kickstand for movie viewing?

I hope most of these concerns will be manageable. A supple leather case custom-fit for the Note just oozes class and functionality. Hope to see some positive reviews forthcoming...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] silverx:
may i know how you ordered the a5? i am looking around their store and cant find that model

is lining leather selection to determine the leather inside? so you can have different color/leather inside??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xAnimal5:
I may purchase the A6 case, but have had bad experiences with leather phone cases in the past.

Are easecases soft to the touch?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psionic11:
Anyone here have this case ordered? Can you share the manufacturer's link?

I was planning on getting a certain Easecase, but can't seem to find the particular style anymore. Was looking for the case with the flap on the left to hold credit cards and the open-face pouch on the right, so you can use the Note without taking it out.... anyone see that link anymore?

I seem to recall that the case I was looking at was from an Australian shop. Was looking to have it custom-made (hole for stylus, engraved name, ability of left flap to bend back to double as a kickstand...)

Thanks,

Andrew
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] spfraggle:
I ordered one from Ebay. It took a few Weeks to arrive and when it did it had not been made to the specification i ordered. I emailed the seller who apologised and made a replacement free of charge. Both cases are of very high quality and i highly recommend them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] RASTANIUS:
ATTENTION

Hi Guys !

Just looked at this thread and the link on eBay , as I´m also waiting for a high quality leathercase - I´d ordered mine from PIEL FRAMA.

Scrolling down the advertising page on ebay I saw the different possibilities of closure-mechanisms , so there´s my warning:

Beware of magnetic closures , they will make problems with SGN Display in the region of the magnetic flap !!

Statement:

PielFrama also produced their first Series of SGNCases with a magentic flip mechanism and MUST change back to nonmagentic snaps !

EmailReply PF :

We have been checking the case with our craftsmen and now, everything is

solved so that, the case you will receive does not have any problem.

This post should solve dissapointments cause of sharing recent experiences !

I am mighty impressed by the simplicity of the D2 case but the seller doesn't ship to India. Would have loved to get one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] kentmartin:
I suggest you email the seller and ask if he'd be willing to send it to India anyway... I travel a lot, and often vendors can be accommodating if you send a copy of your passport or pay by bank transfer or something.

Failing that, a volunteer on here to ship it on to you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Carmageddon1984:
Can you elaborate what is PielFrama? Are you talking about EASECASE? or who?

I want to order an E6 (which is a wallet) with magnetic closing - but need to know whether that would cause problems or not - or you saying its fixed?

PS: Anyone knows whether the phone fitted with a Flip case would still easily get into an E6 (or other cases, I suppose they have same space compartment for the phone).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] awtchan:
I am currently using PDair case with magnetic closure without encountering problems so far. I've also ordered an A4 Easecase also with magnetic closure, and the manufacturer e-mailed me last week that the inner side of the closure is 'demagnetized' and therefore shouldn't be a problem.

Given the negative views expressed in the XDA forum on magnetic closures, I'm still uncertain and keeping my fingers crossed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] alicelc:
I'm thinking of getting the E2 case. I was wondering if you've tried to have your galaxy note in a easecase while having an additional case on the phone (i.e., Nillkin). If so, how's the fit?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] droiduser:
I had the pdair with magnets and still do, only thing is i took the magnet clasp off and attached a non magnetic clasp instead when i noticed the compass moving with the magnet while using maps, flip the case right over and the highly magnetic side is facing the back of the phone, so the compass moves there :) check out my before and after pics of my sewing on the new clasp in the magnetic clasp message in the note accessories forum

I actually have a Zenus Galaxy Note Prestige Origami Diary Series case (webpage here), which also has a magnetic latch. As a precaution I have stopped using this case until more information comes out about magnets interfering with the S-Pen and screen. In the meantime, I have sent Zenus USA this e-mail... hopefully they may know about this situation and / or update us with either more information or a change in their product design to non-magnetic cases...

=== e-mail to Zenus USA ===

Dear Zenus,

I have recently purchased a Galaxy Note Prestige Origami Diary Series case for my Samsung Galaxy Note, and I have a question / query about the magnetic closure system used to keep the case closed...

As you may or may not know, the Samsung Galaxy Note has a WACOM-based stylus to be used on it's display, which utilises a magnetic layer on top of the phone display itself. This allows the stylus (the S-Pen) to draw very accurate points and lines along the whole of the screen itself.

Now, there have been reports that magnetic latches on phone cases may interfere with the sensitivity of the Galaxy Note's magnetized screen, and over on the XDA-Developers forums there have been several discussions as to whether magnetic opening and closing mechanisms on cases actually do affect the S-Pen's accuracy. Reports have ranged from no effect at all to a complete "dead zone" around the part where a case with a magnetic latch is in close contact to the screen for an extended period of time. An example of such case can be seen in this forum post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19887574&postcount=11

And this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445478&page=4&styleid=15

Now I am not personally sure whether the Galaxy Note Prestige Origami Diary Series case, which does have a magnetic latch, will affect my phone's screen in any way. But as a precaution I have temporarily stopped using the case.

But as a very satisfied customer of Zenus, I hope the company can be aware of such new issues popping up and if / when it is found that yes, magnets in close proximity to the screen for an extended period of time will affect the accuracy / usability of the S-Pen on the Samsung Galaxy Note; that Zenus can let it's customers be aware of this issue and (possibly) alter the designs of the cases so that it has a physical hook / physical latch / velcro etc. as a opening-closing mechanism instead of a small magnet...

For now, us folks over on XDA-Developers forums have issued a word of caution about the use of cases with magnetic latches for the Samsung Galaxy Note. And would like a few answers as if the magnetic latches actually have a negative effect on Galaxy Note screens in the long run...

Thank you for your time and effort in reading this very long but (arguably) nessecary notification to your products,

byeh (XDA Member)

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
I also have a Zenus Carbon case with magnets. In the 1st one I got the back magnet was causing some problems with the Spen but Zenus sent me another one where the problem was eliminated. If I understand correctly the Spen has also a magnet in it so when the two magnets are close the Spen accuracy is affected. That means that it may not be about the screen but about the Spen itself. However as I mentioned for the past 2 months that I use the new case I don't have any issues at all.
