I dont want to be a negative ned and throw a spanner in the works here but if the IMEI is intact and the phone was bought second hand(and no offence with what im about to say) but is it possible that the IMEI has been blocked cos yourve unknowingly bought a stolen phone:confused:It just seems strange that only calls and sms are blocked with the IMEI no being changed.Sorry if ive miss understood the question.No offence intended.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uraj:
I am trying to add a feature to Galaxy S2 kernel so that it can exploit the fuel gauge IC MAX17042 to measure the current in the phone. Undoubtedly MAX17042 supports current measurement, however, this feature seems to having something to do with the board, because the IC are using a resistance on the board.

So in summary my question is: is it possible to enable current sense in Galaxy S2? If yes, how? Because MAX17042 is a Samsung only product, its datasheet cannot be got from the Internet. I have made some modification to the kernel code with the reference to many different versions of kernel, but it just doesn't work.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
I think I probably know more than most... Unfortunately, as you've said, there is no documentation for this chip (unlike its predecessor, the MAX17040, which does not have current measurement) and so the only documentation we have is source code.

You might want to look at the Linux 3.0 or 3.1 source trees - there's a MAX17042 driver that does support current sense in them. I've been thinking of trying to backport that to 2.6.35.7 eventually, but haven't had time to try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uraj:
I know there is a driver supporting current sense. It comes with a patch, and is written by people from Samsung. The problem is that this feature also depends on the board (as I've said in the prior post). I'm now afraid that if Galaxy S2 ignores MAX17042's current sense when its board is designed, nothing we can do to save it. For example the designers may just leave some pins of the chip unconnected? (If ridiculous forgive me. I'm poor in electronics.)

Any information about this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i just stumbled across this topic. I too find it fun to tweak the fuel gauge drivers for different phones when possible, though i'm not very good. But i found something that may help with enabling current register on your sgs2. The galaxy nexus kernel was released and even though it uses the older max17040 chip, the source code in the kernel has a new re-written max17042 driver which seems to show more info than the version in the sgs2 driver. This could be useful.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
How frustrating, I need a pin-out diagram with signals, of this chip. Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I think the data sheet has it. Have you read it?

I hope that's not the unreleased one. If it is, read the 17040 data sheet. I bet the pin outs are the same, or similar enough to get you what you need.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
They are not. I have both the 17040/1 and 17043/4, and from what little info I have, they seem completely different from 17042, which is indeed secret.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3waygeek:
A quick Google search suggests that the TI BQ27520-G1 may be the same chip, in which case the linked datasheet may be useful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
Unfortunately, that didn't help either, as it doesn't match the chip I'm trying to understand.

So I started a new thread for this chip and 3 other ones under:

[Kindle Fire General] mrrush101:
I heard you cant change the font or the brightness in kindle when reading a ebook. I was wondering once you rooted the Kindle does this allow that option or is there an app that does this? How full fledged does the Kindle become when rooted? Does the rooting the Kindle only change the fact that you can now get apps from the Android Market and add some Google apps? Does it unlock anything else that makes the Kindle worth keeping?

I am only asking because My friend let me borrow his 10.1 tablet and i love it. It has all the options I need and my Kindle is coming in today. I did not buy the Kindle my girlfriend bought it without telling me but I really wanted the Nook Tablet which is a better 7 inch tablet and has the mic built in plus you can change the font and adjust the brightness. She has the amazon store card and they don't sell the Nook Tablet on Amazon of course, LOL. So before I open it It I would like to know if It's worth keeping?

Thanks in advance
[Kindle Fire General] Xeddicus:
The options for brightness and fonts are in the default settings. Rooting doesn't disable anything except streaming video (for now and that can be gotten around with things like OTA Rootkeeper).

Rooting for the moment pretty much just lets you get to the Market, yes, but in time it'll let you put custom rom's onto it and basically turn it into a normal tablet.

The Nook Tablet has better hardware, yes. If you don't care about the Amazon 'ecosystem' and don't mind the increase in price it may be more to your liking. Of course, so could some other tablet too.
[Kindle Fire General] YMark:
That's true. You have to stop reading the book and go into settings and change the font or brightness. :rolleyes:

Where do people "hear" this stuff?
[Kindle Fire General] Thelgow:
I've been using mine 99% for comic cbr and cbzs. I haven't played with the actual ebooks yet, but I dont see why couldn't. And if you can't, use a different app. I've already grown fond of Aldiko reader since using it over a year on my phone. Version 1.x, I saw v. 2 and they took out half of the features. I've been meaning to check if they reenabled any but Aldiko lets you swipe control brightness and menu swap colors and what not.
[Kindle Fire General] Carld256:
You can change brightness, typeface, font size, lines spacing, margins, and color scheme from inside ebooks. Whoever you're hearing this from doesn't know what they're talking about.
[Kindle Fire General] MayfairDROID:
And the nook tablet has a.locked bootloadrr and due to.some.other issues is now dead to developers. You can change brightness in books by taping the upper right corner.of.the screen. All other aspects are adjustable as well in the KF.

HI,

I've flashed the latest Androidmeda over the previous version (VXD).

I've noticed that after flashing, CWM manager was missing from the app list.

According to the changelog, no changes were made to CWM manager application, and even the kernel is the same, so why can't i find CWM manager?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
As this is a ROM related issue, please post your question in Androidmeda thread.

P.S.:

You may have to flash a kernel containing the CWM Manager app (e.g. CF-Root) to bring it back again to your phone. Then re-flash the ROM's kernel back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrek3:
Thank you for your quick response, It_ler, i'll give it a shot. too bad that the ROM developers didn't mention it in their changelog.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Just go to the Market and install the app AppExtractor. You can extract the APK from your nan-backup (made with CWM) and saved on the sdcard. Then install the APK as usual .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrek3:
That's the weird thing, UpInTheAir. that if i'm flashing the previous ROM (VXD), i can see that CWM manager is present, and the version is 3.0. and when i open the same ROM (on my PC), i cant find the CWM apk anywhere. I've extracted the 2.8.7 ROM (the one that was released before VXD) and i did found CWM manager apk under the data folder, which was version 2.0.

So i was just wondering, how the version was upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0 after I've flash the VXD ROM, even if there wasn't CWM apk inside, and the kernel is the same kernel?

Sorry if I've confused you guys, but I'm just starting to get to know the Android OS structure more deeply, and i would really like to know what I've been missing.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Did the ROM come with a different or updated custom kernel? So maybe updated with the kernel part of the ROM ?

The kernel and recovery partition go hand in hand.

Eg. Flashing Chainfire's CF-Root kernel will give both CWM Manager & CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
Search for "CWM Manager apk" on the forums, there are copies of CWM Manager 2.0 floating around. It installs as an app. Unsure if there are versions of 3.0 available.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrek3:
Actually, yes. but as far as i understood from the developers, they didn't touch the kernel.

Is there a way to compare between the previous kernel and the current?

I know there is a way to extract the Zimage file, like any other Linux kernel, but would i be able to know the differences?

And one more question: on post #2 by It_ler, he suggested to flash a different kernel (i.e. CF-Root) , and then flash the ROM kernel. if i'll do that, then the latter kernel that i flashed, will wipe also the CWM (recovery and manger) that were flashed earlier, am i right?

[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
I highly doubt this is possible.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
naah man...u'r wrong

DUH!!!!!....resolution has got nothing to do wid camcorder!!!!...even a camera with <1 MPx can technically record HD videos. E.g. - the ipod touch 4g...so a 2 MP camera can very well record HD videos :)
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
Probably it could be done 1600x1200 (2MP) is more than HD resolution (1280x720), but you have to remember, that there is some hardware involved, I remember playing with some webcam drivers back in college, and although I did managed to capture high resolution video (for that time VGA), it looked choppy like hell :)

I would just not bother for a result like that!

[LG Optimus Black] achyut:

[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
if you have a duct-tape, then it can be solved

- buy a high-quality-cam (5MP or even more)

- strap it in front of your phone's side using the duct-tape

[LG Optimus Black] rafa0794:
unlikely

highly unlikely if it has hardware limitations
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
it has no "hardware" limitation

the hardware, i.e., 2MPx is highly capable of recording HD videos....even a <1MPx can record HD videos. it's just a software cap
[LG Optimus Black] masterthor:
What about electronic limitations? The CCD used in the camera might require a couple of miliseconds to actually capture the light, and then send it via the wire to the CPU. If either the CCD can't capture it fast enough, or the channel is not fast enough, you're not going to get 30 FPS no matter what magic you use in your software. That's why you have to wait for ever between shots on cheap compact digital cameras, and hardcore DSLR cameras can take snaps for a few tens of times per second.
[LG Optimus Black] nikpik:
Not all sensors can record in HD. Just because it has adequate resolution doesn't mean it can capture images fast enough to generate HD.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
i don't think so...

well...ur answer has an "yes" and a "no".

i agree all sensors cannot record HD but i disagree with the resolution problem.

video recording resolution (480p, 720p, etc) depends on the resolution of the recording camera but more importantly the "shutter speed". i feel the glitch is in the 2nd part, i.e., the shutter speed.

don't know exactly, but i feel there is a very slim remote chance if any DEV takes this seriously.
[LG Optimus Black] nikpik:
Just to be clear, you're talking about the frame rate of the sensor, not the shutter speed.

The frame rate is the number of frames the camera takes in a second.

The shutter speed is the amount of time it takes for the camera to take each frame.
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
yes...dats just wat am tokin bout...considering that the front cam can very well record @ 29.97 fps steadily in VGA resolution, i feel the "fps" is NOT a problem. wat do you think the problem m8 actually be???...any idea???

Figured I'd start a new thread the other guilty pleasure posting is a bit old now lol

Anywho my big guilty pleasure is ....!!!!!.... My iPhone 3GS lol. I absolutely love this phone to death. I still use it as a tether line for my job. It was just so simple, slick, sexy, and one of the first things I ever really bought on my own. No one helped me get the phone and AT&T hated my credit rating all none of it (I didn't have credit to that point I had just turned 20) so on top of the 259$ phone on the spot I also gave them a 500$. But it was well worth it. I've had iPods since high school so I already had tons of music, and let me tell you that 16gb hard drive pretty much was way too low lol. The phone has aged extremely here lately so I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to my HTC vivid (had Apple made a f****** LTE phone and quit ******g around with clouds they might have released the right phone... and I wouldn't be here now lmao). I still find myself drawn to my iPhone, always grabbing it only to remember it's on a tiered data package now. So what's y'alls blasphemous pleasure?

I am getting my son a shooter for Christmas. Fingers crossed that it comes with hboot 1.4. Anyone buy one recently that wasn't updated to 1.5 or 1.6?
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Instead of answering that question I would like to offer advice instead. There are a lot of people on Ebay that are selling used devices that are in mint condition, and have all the box, documentation, and what not, you could message each seller to find out what hboot it is. Obviously most of them will need to be told how to find that out for you.

The benefit of this is a cheaper buy, and you get what you want and your son won't know it isn't brand new, or be able to explain to him why you had to go that route. I think unless you are getting refurbished (and not even then sometimes) will you get hboot 1.4.

Hope I helped, cheers!
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:
I have an upgrade as of December 1st and radio shack has the 3D on sale for $100 with a 2 year extension. I can't really beat that price on eBay. If it comes with hboot 1.5 its not really a big deal, just more of a hassle. I just have to read up on flashing using fastboot. If anything I will learn something new. Thanks for your input though.
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
Unless you just get extremely lucky, a new 3D, purchased from a brick and mortar store, or even online, from the same stores, will have hboot 1.5 on it. It looks like TeamEvil is close to having an S-OFF solution for the 1.5 hboot, so it might not matter what Hboot you have soon. No watermarked bootloader for me, thank you very much.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
hboot 1.50 here, no biggie, not really a issue for ME. I have watermarked bootloader, blah blah blah. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
Yeah you are quite right about that, definitely can't beat that for a new device (the 3D anyhow). Are you going for the 3D for him because of that upgrade price? For slightly more you could upgrade to something better. The 3D is going to die soon in terms of developer support, there aren't that many to begin with but specially with better hardware already out, or coming out soon the 3D while still young, is going to die off.
[HTC EVO 3D] 3vo kid:
for that price you cant really beat it... 1.5 is a pain in the ass but it still works fine... maybe consider saving ur upgrade for the next "evo" instead?
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
I don't agree with this 100%. There is a lull in development, though, but mainly because cyanogenmod doesn't have any nightlies for the 3D (I think there's an alpha, but the thread is closed, and I can't find it on goo-inside.me). Also, with ICS just being released, devs are at work making a rom available.

Just look at the evo 4G. It's still going strong 18 months after release. Once CM gets going with CM9, and some more sense 3.5+ roms are leaked, preferably with some Wimax love, we should be seeing more roms.

This is just my opinion, and I could be wrong....so don't take what I say personal :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
That is a possibility, I do agree we will see a little more developer activity with sense 3.5, ICS, cm being used as a base when it is more complete, etc. however I meant things a little differently. While the 3D isn't the least popular device among users or developers it hasn't had the type of device that has received extraordinary development that a lot of other devices have even from the beginning of its release. The 4g started out so popular because it was a revolutionary device from sprint. The first 4g phone, and several other never before seen features so it started out so popular, and remains relevant because the hardware it has is still relevant. So the 4g was a special case. Aside from being 3D, which is really just a gimmick, the 3D didn't bring any revolutionary hardware or never before seen features to us, so it started out with less interest, and now the hardware is being beat by the latest devices, and devices coming soon. So aside from the things already mentioned that may give a little bump from A SELECT GROUP of developers it will die quickly. After the excitement of ICS and sense 3.5+ wears off the development of it will fade as less and less people still have it and developers get newer, better, more exciting, and popular devices.

Just like you, this is more of my educated guess and perception than fact, but I am willing to bet it is/will be fact soon.
