[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
It has a lot of bearing actually. Think about it. AT&T stopped offering unlimited data a year and a half ago now, and since then it has done as much as it can to try to get people off of those plans (like convincing the uneducated consumer that they need "new" tiered plans for their smartphone when they decide to upgrade etc).

I ran into this exact same problem early on this year with my original Galaxy Tab, and after much (fruitless) deliberation with a rep from the CEO's office, the argument basically came down to this:

AT&T: You're using a device on our network in ways we did not intend for it to be used. Cease and Desist!

Me: How exactly am I using my device on your network in ways which you didn't intend? As far as the hardware is concerned, my Galaxy Tab is basically identical to a smartphone with the exception of screen and battery size. I love using my Tab this way! It literally is my "do-everything-all-in-one" device! Tablet, phone, GPS, media player, e-reader, etc.

AT&T: That's just it. Your "do-everything-all-in-one" device is bad for business. We don't want you to be able to do "everything-all-in-one." We want you to buy a smartphone, and a subscription for that -AND- we want you to buy a separate piece of hardware for your tablet and pay a subscription for that too (or at least pay additional for the ability to tether to your smartphone). See, as you pointed out, the bigger screen allows you to do much more with that device than a "normal" smartphone, in much the same way as you can do more on a laptop. Basically, bigger screen generally equals more data usage and thus more strain on our network.

Me: OK. So what? I'm on unlimited data.

AT&T: Exactly. So we're not getting any more money out of you, where we would ordinarily be collecting overages from everyone else on tiered plans. So here are your options: 1. Stop using voice on your line, and use this as a data-only device. 2. Stop using data on your line, and use this as a voice-only device. 3. Use both data and voice, but only if you forgo your unlimited data and go onto a tiered plan instead, and pay for tethering. 4. Go somewhere else.

Me: Screw you AT&T! *deletes /efs folder and continues to use Tab as originally intended by Samsung. AT&T no longer see's Tab IMEI and see's "fake/generic" IMEI instead*

I've been with them for a while. I have the grandfathered plan but I have 5 lines and maybe that's why I never received a text from them. I tether as well.

Hi -- I'm seeing a bug with the CNN app. Tapping the CNN app's widget is supposed to open up the app itself. This works the first free times that I tap on the widget, but after a few hours, tapping on the widget doesn't do anything. (However, if I delete the widget and put it back again, everything works fine for another few hours.) Is anyone else seeing this with ICS / Galaxy Nexus?

Thanks, Alan
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
Lol CNN.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
Just did a little research on the Kindle touchscreen controller ILITEK 2107QS001K (posted my results here).

Because I'm curious I Looked at the source code provided by Amazon.

Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200203720

Filename: Kindle_src_6.2_user_3003020.tar.gz

Found this file: kernel\android-2.6.35\drivers\input\touchscreen\ilitek.c

Lines 1135-1144:

// read touch resolution
[B]i2c.max_tp = 2;[/B]
if(ilitek_i2c_read_info(i2c.client, ILITEK_TP_CMD_GET_RESOLUTION, buf, res_len) < 0){
return -1;
}
[B]if(i2c.protocol_ver >= 0x200)[/B]{
// maximum touch point
[B]i2c.max_tp = buf[6];[/B]
// maximum button number
[B]i2c.max_btn = buf[7];[/B]
}

Those lines smell like they are the ones responsible for the amount of touch points enabled.

max_tp is defined in a struct near the top of the file with a comment stating "maximum touch point".

Thís file is also the only one that has different permissions than all the other files in this directory.

It would be interesting to get the debug output of the whole function ilitek_i2c_read_tp_info which is where the above lines are contained in (there are lot's of printk's in there).

Also it would be good to know what the value of i2c.protocol_ver is and if the if-clause evaluates TRUE.

Basically everything that goes on in those lines seems interesting so me.

Is there anybody out there who can tell me if I'm headed in the right direction?

EDIT

I also found this: http://wenku.baidu.com/view/77869053ad02de80d4d840ca.html - an Ilitek touch driver development manual for Android kernels. May be helpful.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
Found this tool on the Android Market: ILITEK Touch Utility

Installed it on my KF and this is the main menu of the app:

Calibration - Calibrate touch screen

Upgrade - Upgrade new firmware from Hex file

Utility - Debug touch screen (submenus seen in screenshots below)

Information - Show touch screen information

Version - version 1.4.8 2011/04/11

The output of Information is this:

Firmware version: 10.2.5.0
Protocol version: 1.2
Max. X: 3968
Max. Y: 2304

Unfortunately it doesn't output something like max_tp.

I also ran Calibration and now touches seem to be registered more accurately.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] intersectRaven:
This utility does "seem" to make the touchscreen more accurate. I'll have to spend time with my Fire though to be sure. Nice finds by the way! :)

*Btw, I think the firmware is the one responsible for setting multitouch points. The 2 is more like a default for when the version can't request the supported maximum number through the firmware. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yups have tried such stuff on X10, ARC, other deivces...

it all depends on the TS firmware...

we can improve the driver but if the firmware doesnt support it we cant do much...

also do keep in mind that Amazon got this tablet to the market at < 200$, so all the components (internally & externally) are NOT of highest caliber... cost reduction strategies...

[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Some time ago I found a module for the milestone that enables more touch points, it even let's you edit a config file where you set how many points you want. It worked (kinda) for my old d1 and my d2. I haven't tried it on my fire tho. I'll look around and see if i can find it if anyone is interested.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
Definitely, let us know what you find out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] RootTheNoob:
// read touch resolution

i2c.max_tp = 10;

if(ilitek_i2c_read_info(i2c.client, ILITEK_TP_CMD_GET_RESOLUTION, buf, res_len) < 0){

return -1;

}

if(i2c.protocol_ver >= 0x200){

// maximum touch point

i2c.max_tp = buf[6];

// maximum button number

i2c.max_btn = buf[7];

}

The code above would be my long life goal in fruit ninja.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
has anyone gotten anywhere with this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fulvi3tto:
i'm interested too, how can we enable more than 2 touch points?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] TesseractSpace:
Looking at the driver writing guide, it seems like the controller can't handle more than two points of input, or at least the guide only covers getting input from two points.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
I compared the two Kernel source tars (6.2 and 6.2.1). There are various file differences, also in ilitek.c - that's the file I mentioned in the OP.

Here is a diff report of ilitek.c 6.2 and ilitek.c 6.2.1: http://jsbin.com/emuyot

That has to be the fix that amazon introduced which makes the screen a bit more responsive.

Would be interesting to know if everybody update their Kernel source to include this patch.

EDIT: Attached the diff as an image in case the jsbin disappears.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] intersectRaven:
Thanks for the heads-up! I was planning on integrating the changes before but it got pushed to the sidelines and eventually forgotten. There are other changes in 6.2.1 which I'll integrate in my next release. :)

I never charge my phone anymore, just switch out batteries using external charger
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Have to make sure you get a charger that takes the battery right0side up (same way it goes into the phone)... On my Vibrant, I had the official Samsung spare battery charger, and it took the battery upside down. Which meant that the contacts on any extended battery wouldn't match up as the battery is too thick.

EDIT: Oh yeah, this might should be in the accessories forum....

I second MIUI as the ROM of choice for Nexus. This is the most functional ROM for Nexus as it comes, without sacrificing speed. Stock lacks way too many useful things, starting with a decent dialer.

I'm in a very similar position.

N1, played around with it lots, however now have an S2 (did think about the Galaxy Nexus, but bit out of price range and got a second hand S2 at a very decent rate).

I would like to keep the N1 as backup, but frankly would rather have the cash if I sold it.

However, would very much like to get the missus on android (she is presently on iphone 3gs).

She hates change with a passion, it took me ages to persuade her to get the iphone a few years ago, which she is very much used to now.

I need a very very simple easy transition from ios to android if I can get her to go on the N1.

I presume MIUI would be the way to go?

MIUI is very similar to the IOS UI, plus you can also theme it. :D

If that is the case, my wife deserves the best!

In reality I really want her to get onto Android (more for my sake than hers) and move away from iOS. As is the case probably with most of you guys, if something goes wrong with her phone, I need to fix it. I know more about Android than iOS and have to constantly re-learn iOS stuff when something goes wrong with her phone.

I'm so desperate that I told her she could have my SG2 and I would keep the N1. So far she is not budging.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saffant:
I used to be a on a stock KG2 carrier specific ROM until i realized the battery was unbearable and thus flashed to the stock KI3 ROM

"GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100XEUKD1" specifically with the "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-v4.1-CWM4" kernel; things were great including battery life, performance (HSPA performance was a tad worse than the stock KG2 but nothing major), however, I would randomly get these restarts every now and then -which, knowing Android and the fact that it wasn't stock and all, were understandable- but recently I tried these new batteries (Anker 1900mAh) for the GS2 and well as soon as I tried them (both), the phone went into a boot loop (not just rebooting without booting up but it would load everything, including homescreen and media scanning etc and then restart - continuously).

Thankfully I had made a nandroid backup of my phone right before trying then new batteries and well even after restoring that or reflashing the KI3 ROM/kernel etc it still won't fix the issue.

Is there any solution besides wiping and factory reset? Took me months to set up my phone and I really can't afford to take a hit.. again.. (had issues with custom ROMs before and had to wipe it all) and no.. I don't even have a Titanium backup (up-to-date at least - perhaps a way I could still make that with this reboot issue? ..could make things easier).

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dls5375:
The nexus s is pretty hard to permanently brick, but can be a pain depending how bad it is. This time was bad for me. I had already flashed the ics update and flashed superuser zip and all was fine except Google wallet. I uninstalled it with titanium but had second thoughts , so I decided to flash the update again. I know better but just wasn't thinking. The update was from 2.3.6 to 4.0 and since I was already on 4.0 it really screwed it up. It wouldn't do anything absolutely nothing. Apparently the bootloader , boot, and recovery images were completely gone. I did some searching and found unbrickable resurrector. Only problem was it only worked on Linux. So I had to make my laptop duel boot Ubuntu and windows. Ubuntu for unbrickable resurrector and windows for adb/fastboot. Although it sounds rather easy it took about 2 days till I finally figured it all out. I could probably do it now in 30 minutes. And a jig would most likely work but I wouldn't know where to get one. Anyway the resurrector allowed me to boot into fastboot mode and adb/fastboot allowed me to reflash the lost images. Thank God that's over!
