Ehm, this means that i won't be able TO TAP A PHONE NUMBER IN AN EMAIL AND CALL IT? Darn Apple... I use a MacBook Air, it made me only problems... sound card broke 5 days ago. Now i have no sound!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfade23:
ok ive bricked my galaxy s and ive got no usb port because its broken off (long story) and i cant enter recovery mode anymore (my vol up+menu+power does nothing since i bricked it)

BUT i can get into download mode,but it's useless because my usb port is missing (it broke off)

Given these facts....i already know it cant be fixed.

but i thought i would see if anyone knows of any miracle that can bring my gti9000 back to life ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Aidge:
Well, since recovery is broken, I don't know anything you could do without trying to repair the USB Port. If recovery would actually work, you maybe could install a rom from external sd. Since that doesn't work, only thing you can do is being crafty and fix the USB Port (if that is somehow possible)

And I guess you're probably pretty lost anyway without USB. You can't copy things, no flashing, no charging etc.

[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
Hello!

I recently rooted my Desire Z because of the sense restarting issue on the official gb rom. Started off ok with Virtuous Sense but it started randomly restarting the phone quite often - a few times a day. Tried fresh wipe with no apps, no luck. So installed old official 1.84 Froyo (not greedy, just want a working phone with Sense) rooted by rmk. I still get the same problem.

Pretty much ruled out a rogue app.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
So it's the whole phone restarting ? Could be a loose battery. Try wedging a little bit of paper (perhaps folded a few times	) in between the top end of the battery and the case, to try and make sure it keeps contact.

[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
Thanks for the reply. The battery seems tight and it's only started happening since I rooted though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] whpsnp:
I had this happen every day before I rooted. It has happened after from time to time but mostly on Sense-based ROMs.

I don't know if it's coincidental but at least for me on MIUI and CM it seems to happen less frequently (maybe once every second week).
[G2 and Desire Z General] MrTechnikron:
hey bro that used to happen to me alot too

in my experience it only happened to me on the original rom and on cyanogen 7 rom. try the wiping everything and using different type of rom like maybe miui or something that is not sense to see if it helps.

hope i could help
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
Thanks for the replies. Have done a clean wipe of virtuous sense and it has yet to restart. If it does, I will take your suggestions and try a completely different Rom - though I will miss friendstream!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
Nope. Keeps happening. Gonna try miui but surely there must be something I'm doing wrong here. Open clockwork, choose Rom and select clear data, cache and davik. Anything else required?
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
you first flash the rom and then wipe data, cache & dalvik?

...i would suggest to wipe before you flash the rom :)

and you could also use superwipe (flash it through recovery):

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
In Clockwork, you make the selection to flash the ROM, then it asks if you want to wipe. But the wipe actually does occur before the ROM flash. That is what the OP is talking about.

ah ok... so he doesn´t boot into recovery and wipes manually :) sry for misunderstanding, but superwipe is a good idea anyway....
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:

[HTC Wildfire S] :
Thanks to this thread: click!, I've played a bit with the brightness settings.

You first need to enable automatic brightness. If not, your settings will only effect the touch buttons.

Then you go to cyanogenmod settings - display - automatic backlight - edit other levels.

Picture below is just a test, don't now if these are the best settings. Need to test it further. I can say 1024 is the highest for light sensor, tested under my desk lamp. If you don't need lighted touch buttons, set right column all to zero.

What I can say, the screen is the greatest user of battery, so tweaking these settings to optimal numbers will possibly help.
[HTC Wildfire S] sky_86:
Do you use brightness levels shown in Guide for Desire?
[HTC Wildfire S] Royal King:
Umm, I don't understand what to do here. Sorry I ain't that good with all this :(
[HTC Wildfire S] :
I use my own values, based on testing. Light sensor is different on desire.

Edit values by clicking on it, after you changed all, press right top button.

Before modding values, hit button at bottom and enter 6.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alwayslookingforanswers:
Hello all, first off want to thank everyone for the great job that they do. Ok Im sure that this is a stupid question, I want to try rooting for the first time. I have a Galaxy tab 10.1 and now have the honeycomb 3.2 system upgrade on it now. Is it possible to root this device with this operating system on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stigy:
A developer contacted me to help him figure this battery issue and high Android OS usage out so he asked me to make a post regarding a test he would like us to perform. Please follow the instructions below to help out -- the first part everyone can participate in and the second part requires root, but even if you are not rooted please help out.

TEST INSTRUCTIONS

Reboot phone and charge to a set amount.

Turn on Wifi (make sure "Always On" is set).

Let the phone run idle with screen off (turn off background data if possible) for as long as you can. Even go watch a movie and leave your phone alone.

If you get an urgent text or call that needs answering, try to let the phone go back to sleep for at least another hour or so.

After this time has elapsed, please grab a screenshot of your Android OS usage (after clicked, showing Keep Awake time). Also note how much battery percentage you lost in this time.

ROOT INSTRUCTIONS

If you are rooted, please perform the following two steps after finishing the steps above:

Load adb shell

Run the following two commands as su:

cat /proc/kmsg > kmsglog.txt

cat /proc/interrupts > interlog.txt

cat /proc/net/netstat > netlog.txt

Grab these two log files and paste them into pastebin.com or attach them to your post.

Thank you for your help!

Edit: If you are rooted, you can run the commands above from a terminal emulator but just type "cd sdcard" first since the / directory is not writeable. The three text files will then be in your SD card for emailing or pastebin'ing.

Is there any application that can do that?

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Chris95X8:
Smartphones are not able to do that because their system (in this case "Android") is like a real system of a computer. I don't think computers do that, do they? There is nothing that can make your phone boot up to ring the alarm.

Instead of shutting down your phone, why don't you turn on airplane mode instead? It's almost like turning off the phone.

My smartphone wakes up automatically!

I'am apologize to bring this old topic on top, but I've also search on the internet which android smartphone would wake up when completly off for an alarm and there is not much information, so i wanted to put my experiences.

Because I didn't find any Information about that on the Internet, i've try myself in a Shop with demo phone. Results, the HTC One series and ALCATEL One Touch Series DOES wake up when turned off. Samsung phones had bad on that point. Of course i didn't try every smartphones...

I've bought an ALCATEL One Touch Mini 6012X... Alarm wake up the phone (maybe into a special mode just for alarm but looks very similar). There is also an option to turn off and turn ON the phone every day at a specific time.

So i hope, poeple would understand that smartphone could automatically wake up...

I've heard dumb posts that its in the /pds/ dir which doesnt make sense.
[Atrix 4G General] coolnow:
PDS partition. That's where the touchscreen calibration data is too i think, as a corruption in that partition leads to no use of the bottom area of the screen, including the capacitive buttons

Also, any bad edits to that region can lead to a hard brick AFAIK, although i've always wondered why restoring a backup of the PDS after a wipe of the internal storage, makes the device work again. Shouldn't it be bricked?

Basically, editing that part is a sure fire way of getting bricked easily which is why i think devs are not too keen on it
[Atrix 4G General] roflestomp:
thanks, and pds partition as in accessible from root explorer /pds/? Not too many files in there, and i'm assuming it's following the partition filesystem and not doing any raw r/w to the actual partition address?

Hi folks,

Ive got cyanogenmod 7 on the Kindle fire, thanks to lots of help from folks here :-)

Just looking at the front of the screen. When you hold it in portrait mode, there is a small circle that is just visible at the very top left corner. It looks suspiciously like a light sensor, which the Kindle isnt meant to have :-)

Can anyone confirm this? Any idea how I could get it working?

Phil
[General Questions and Answers] randi818:
Sensor

You ask a good question. My cover even has a hole for the sensor. It turns out it is a light sensor, but Amazon had it turned off after the first firmware version. Apparently it was not reliable. I suspect the sensor has been removed from the bill of materials on newer units. I can't see anything in the window on mine.
[General Questions and Answers] Sherlock-holmes2:
Originally amazon would have used it in 6.2.1, but they didn't. Maybe you could try and script a ROM that used this. I wouldn't though. I think to get it working, you are going to have to do more than edit the init file.
[General Questions and Answers] HaveNoIdeaWhatIMDoing:
My brand new Kindle Fire (6.3) has this as well. When holding the device at an angle in the light, I see some sort of (round) structure in there. It seems somewhat big for a light sensor, could it be a camera?
[General Questions and Answers] Kheladu:
It is not a camera amazon already removed functionality for the sensor. You can Google kindle fire light sensor replace and there is website showing a guide of the kindle fire tear down. I am fairly sure this hardware problem or this would have been fixed already.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neon01:
I'm finding the standard text size on a lot of non-mobile websites very difficult to read. After comparing to my iphone its just not sharp at all. I have to enlarge it to get it readable, and the double-tap-to-zoom feature just sucks. Pinch to zoom is a non-option for one-handed use.

I've tried increasing the text scaling option, and this does the trick when raised to 150%, but then all of the larger text on mobile websites or similar are ridiculously large and unusable. I've also tried raising the minimum font size, and in the little image of the font sizes this does the trick since it makes the "tiny" and "small" sizes much larger but doesn't affect the larger ones, however, this doesn't seem to actually do anything in practice.

I've tried using other browsers (Dolphin HD), but though they work, they're buggy and they don't really fix the problem I'm having anyway.

Anyone have any suggestions for better browsing? As it stands right now, I really prefer iphone browsing (not flaming here) just because 1. text is really sharp, and 2. double-tap-to-zoom is awesome and works perfectly. I thought with the much larger display, the Galaxy Nexus would be perfect for mobile browsing, but I'm finding that I have to zoom in no matter what to see what I want, so I'm not sure the res is really helping me.

Edit - Here's a thread talking about the problem with double tap zoom:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
Why do you feel double tap zoom sucks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neon01:
Because it's very hit or miss as to whether it zooms on what it's supposed to. Even a pretty well defined block of text is often cut off after I use it. Plus, it doesn't work at ALL without auto-fit pages enabled, and that just makes webpages look like crap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
if you are just trying to actually READ what's there, the reflow works very well. Haven't had any issues with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stereoprologic:
You can also change the minimum font size in settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
I just don't get this.

I got the nexus out and tested it on several websites, mobile and desktop versions. Everything displayed perfect, and was easy to read at an arms length away.

What really doesn't add up is the comparison to the iPhone. Both screen are high resolution with the Nexus having a better contrast ratio, and deeper blacks. Because they both are high resolution how would a screen almost half the size have larger font?

I'm not a big nexus guy or anything, it just doest add up to me, but I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neon01:
Make no mistake - there IS no "reflow"...yet. Gingerbread reflows just fine, but ICS has yet to implement this feature (at least as of my official build). what they have is a feature called auto-fit pages. Basically this just puts all of the text into a column of sorts, and does NOT dynamically render the text correctly no matter what zoom state you're in. It's very much inferior to actual reflow, which I'm dying for.

Look, I'm not hating, as I have and love my Galaxy Nexus, and I use it WAY more than my iphone (which I'm considering selling), but have you actually used the iphone 4S? (or 4 for that matter) The screen is amazing, and just as much so as the HD AMOLED in the GN... maybe more so, except the pitiful size. True, the contrast isn't "near infinite" like an AMOLED screen, but this is somewhat an academic number for bragging rights. After all, a very dark screen of infinitesimally above zero would have a much (infinitely, in fact) lower contrast than infinite. Regardless, it's about more than specs, and the text on the iphone is insanely sharp. I would have thought with the PPI on the GN being what it is (nearly parity with the iphone), it would be the same, but it's definitely not. I don't know if its the pentile, or what, but I'm just calling it like I see it.

Regardless, does any of this actually answer the question? Not to be an ass, but why would you come into my [Q] thread just to say - essentially - "this problem doesn't exist"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macfre:
You are generally right that text/paragraph formatting looks ugly in ICS browser (and actually I made comparison a few weeks ago to show exactly this: http://imgur.com/B6Lx6) though it also has its advantages.

For instance go to hardocp.com and open some article on both iPhone and your GNex - the page will be barely readable on iPhone and will be just fine on GNex, thanks to that "ugly" column formatting thing.

Honestly I learned to live with that; it's just ugly on page overview, doesn't matter at all when you are actually reading the content.

Though, you also brought up another problem which is annoying the hell out of me: on many pages double tap shows bad paragraph/place. I double tap a text in some column, and it zooms & scrolls to a completely different piece of the page, forcing me to scroll back manually to the content I was interested in. Very annoying. I hope they will fix that bug soon. It's still not fixed in 4.0.3, as I tested it already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
The problem seems to be that for whatever reason they have decided (or its bugged) reflow the text as the page loads Instead of doing it dynamically on double tap ala pre ICS. Which makes the overview mode look like crap.

Considering ICS was supposed to be a giant leap forward in everything for Android including UI, and by doing this they have made web pages look ugly.

One of the best things about Android is the dynamic text reflow and i hope they bring it back or get rid of the bug that's stopping it from happening. I can't believe they would have sat round in a meeting and actively thought this would be a better solution.
