I totally agree - but I was intrigued to see that they have this oval area which looks like our touchpad for analog controls - I think it is not functional on their's but I'm not sure. If their's is non-functional I think they would be better off not having this confusion and putting physical keyboard buttons instead. More people would justify purchasing it I think
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NineteenEleven:
Hey everyone, just signed up on here for more info on CIQ, but anywasy i figured i would share my experience with my email client on my skyrocket

anyways i recently started having really bad latency issues on my home and work networks. I went crazy troubleshooting everything at my house, changed my router and modem several times, checked my cables, ect ect. long story short i come to find out 2 weeks later that when i turn wifi off it instantly stops happening. i downloaded a traffic meter on my phone and my stock email client (not gmail app) is uploading over 100mb an hour! WTF

i had the email client set up with 1 exchange acct and 2 gmail accts. when i took the gmail accts off and switched them to the gmail app, it stopped. Now im still not sure what was happening or why it was doing that but i think it has something to do with the recent update from ATT, because it started shortly after that.

just figured i would share my experience with you guys. oh and my phone is un-rooted incase you were wondering.

thanks!

Just wondering regarding data connections.

What setting is likely to give the best overall battery life. WiFi set to never sleep or WiFi set to sleep when screen is off

I'm not sure what would use more power. WiFi or 3G
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Calibrating battery(free in market) is the best for you battery, full charge til mv=4182(or higher if you get it), then use the phone til it`s completely empty and shots it self off. Then your up to go. You can use Hp power packs as well with hp kernel.

Hello mates,

(originally made for MIUI)

I have adopted files and instructions from This thread and created additional boot script to make a flashable zip for Desire (although it should work for other devices which support init.d and have "/system" mount point on "/dev/block/mtdblock3", so we can test Sony Bravia engine on our videos and pics.

What the flashable zip does:

it puts needed files in "/system/etc/" and "99braviaengine" boot script in "system/etc/init.d".

What the 99braviaengine does:

it checks if your "build.prop" file has needed lines so the Bravia engine can work. If it does not have then it remounts /system as RW and appends needed lines in your "build.prop".

This flashable zip can be used for any build, as it only appends needed lines to your current "build.prop", if needed.

Flash zip from recovery, boot phone and reboot once more so the new "build.prop" is taken into account.

Hope you'll notice some difference, I did.

Nandroid backup to be on a safe side.

Cheers,

jukyO
[Desire Android Development] KasperHermansen:

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
jukyO, kindly dont be discouraged by my comments..

But why do you think changing the permissions of the two binaries be_movie and be_photo will make the Sense system use these for displaying the gallery? You've modified the build.prop identifiers. But unless HTC Sense (Rosie) has inbuilt code to handle these files, there is no way these will ever be used by a Sense system.

What you (and other proponents of the Bravia engine mod) have done:

Add a value in build.prop

Add two binaries to system/etc

Change permissions of the binaries

Afaik, these binaries dont come with stock Android package or Sense. There are no references to these in Sense code. Ergo, these will remain stale as an unnecessary waste of space. Dont you think the code for Gallery apk needs to modified to reference these binaries, to change the image processing engine? I think what you guys are seeing is a placebo effect or an illusion. :D

As you said, at least it helped you learn scripting better. :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I can understand this...but xloud can be added in the same way and its definitely louder....mmmhhh
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
@Alex, you're been given Recognized Developer status three times!! :D
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah..dont know why...must write a mod to change it to 1x ;) :)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yup..in that particular case, the build.prop is what is normally making it softer (I think)
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Yes, I understand what you mean.

Maybe we need a real proof.

Or decompile original gallery apk from ROM / Device wher Bravia engine exist and find how those two binaries are referenced to gallery.

[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
maybe that the phones that are shipped with the bravia engine have a modified gallery that use that libs...this "could" explain how the bravia engine works...

but our gallery doesn't read/use that libs..so actually it doesn't nothing

maybe someone should extract also the gallery.apk or something else, if we really want use that bravia engine (if the engine really works)
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Two Desires, side by side, one with the modded Bravia and one without = no visible difference. Both, compared to wife's Arc S, much worse looking. But I think it's not a matter of sharpness or color, but rather of screen brightness. Our Desire phones, maxed out, are way less bright than the Sony devices with Bravia Engine. Maybe it's worth looking in to?

Definitely not.
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
I have taken a look at one or 2 ZIP files around and I can confirm it is not working at all as long as the phone doesn't have the entire framework for the Bravia engine.

I have tried to search where the Bravia Engine might be in a Sony Experia ROM and it's quite deeply integrated in the system (there's a native so library, there are some jars in the framework directory etc). I have given up searching because I thought it was a resource hog anyway.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminsoyka:
Hey guys,

I've been struggling with my N1 power button for a while now until in August it finally failed and my device wouldn't turn on anymore.

Since I bought my phone in Germany I hesitated to send it in. Not HTC is responsible for the warranty, but the seller himself. Anyway, I mailed them, sent it in, but they denied to repair it. They said some bull***t about me braking the camera. So I talked to legal protection insurance and they asked me whether I'd prefere to sue the trader or if I want to get 220 Euro back from them instead (because obviously suing would be much more cost intensiv for the insurance then paying 220 Euro). So I decided to take the money and either buy a new phone or try to fix the power button myself. And that's what I did.

I dissembled the phone and tried to solder the broken connections following this (http://youtu.be/k74D4dGGf4U) awesome guide myself. I do not have a lot of experience with stuff like this but I thought since I had already gotten the money "back" and the phone was not working I could at least try.

I did try and I did break the rest of the power button. So know I am not sure what to do. I see two options and very much would like other users comments on what I should do.

Try to sell the other components (screen, battery, logic board) and buy a new phone.

Replace the entire board with the camera, the led and the power button.

Ad 1.) Where would you sell the components? Ebay? Any other specific website?

And also, can you suggest phones to consider. I haven't followed the "android market" for a couple of months since it was not clear what would happen to my N1. I could buy a new N1 for about 210 Euro. Or a Nexus S for about 200. Are there any new phones that can compete with the nexus one in terms of openness, processing power, battery life & built quality? Or is the N1 still the best deal (especially for that price, I don't want to spend much more then the 220 Euro, I just got back).

Ad 2.) I've looked online, there are plenty of sources to replace the board with the flex cable ribbon. They range from 17 to about 70 Dollar. The difference seems to be that the ones are without camera, while the others come with a new camera.

Since my camera was working just fine I was wondering if it's possible to use my camera on another motherboard (I think that's the adequate name of the board I am talking about, right?). I couldn't find any reports online, but there is a spare part, which indicates, that it is very possible. Has anyone tried to replace a camera? Did it work? Is there a tutorial online?

Over all, I would very much prefere the second option. I have used my N1 only for roughly a year. I got the N1 dock. And over all, it would only cost about 30 bucks and a couple of hours. Also I would not have to buy a new phone and produce unnecessary technical waste.

So I'm very much looking forward to all your comments and help. For me that's a huge project. I haven't done hardware "hacking" before, so I will need all the help I can get.

Cheers, Armin
