Yes, it's due to ad-hoc. I noticed certain tether apps like barnacle wasn't getting detected.

I used the stock CM7 for AOSP, or the stock HTC tether app to support it and it works fine, but I haven't a slightest what works for your phone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] notphilip:
If you're rooted then you can replace the wpa supplicant file to force the flyer to support ad hoc networks

hi everybody

i had an HTC desire HD and i replace it with HTC sensation

everything looks alright and works fine but the quality of pictures in sensation are very bad comparing to the DHD

i change settings in camera panel but nothing help.

so can some one help me
[HTC Sensation] aza_dark:
what's your ROM and camera application?
[HTC Sensation] nihedbf:
thank you for your fast answer

my rom is the original from HTc i think 2.3.4

and the camera application is teh one comes with HTC

the phone comes with Vodafone LOGO when i switch it on
[HTC Sensation] septix:
I had no problems with poor quality on my when it was stock. Try a rom with "amaze cam"
[HTC Sensation] aza_dark:
maybe factory reset helping?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Protricity:
I just want to make sure there is no way to currently do tv out and sixaxis at the same time, correct?

Stock supports tv out but the kernal prevents sixaxis from working

Cyanogenmod supports sixaxis but has no tv out.

Thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AlphaMaster:
Correct. CM cannot do TV out because it relies on sense framework stuff. Stock cannot do Sixaxis because HTC uses bluetooth libraries that do not support HID. I compiled a kernel with HID support and it still does not work for that reason.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Protricity:
That's unfortunate. Might have to switch out phones. Mt4gs turned out a disappointment. Thanks for the info
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
^ This.

I'd love to figure out a way to get my borrowed Sixaxis controller to work with a Sense ROM.

Hi, i have a problem with auto brihtness of my xoom.

If i set the display to auto brightness, it increases the brightness when there's more light, but it don't decrease the brightness if there is less light, until i lock and unlock the screen.

I've a 3g xoom with the latest 3.2 firmware.

Is there any solution?
[Xoom General] renton82:
Someone can help me?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I haven't heard of that issue, so I don't know of a solution. Are you completely stock, with no modification?
[Xoom General] solarnz:
This is stock behaviour. Simply turn the display off and back on if you want it to re-set the brigtness to a lower value on the stock rom.
[Xoom General] renton82:
Thank u very much for your reply! I thinked that was mine faulty...

For now i solved installing Auto lux, that it's completely customizable(u can set a % of brightness for any kind of external "lux") and works very well.

Is there another way to solve it? Now i tried the tiamat kernel, but without any resutl.
[Android General] phoneyericsson:
Hi all,

I study this stuff and just came across this article which might be of interest. It's not that you haven't heard of this idea, rather that this article is current and offers contribution to knowledge.

http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphans-visualizing-a-sad-history-of-support

I came here to a great extent out of discovering the poor software support from my phone's manufactuer, in my case Sony Ericsson.

The single most critical aspect of this article in my two eyes (other people may find something else depending on your education, work and interest) is that this article argues that Cyanogen getting the latest OS working on even old devices shows the manufacturers are just being cheap but that is awful judgement on their part - because we move on to a different manufacturer.

What do you think?
[Android General] TheSniperFan:
The nexus series is okay, but the rest... For me it was sure that I'll go with custom roms from the very beginning because of this s**t.

Wasn't there some kind of contract that the manufactures provide support for a certain amount of time? I read about it somewhere.
[Android General] DeathW1SH:
All i have to say it

WOW! thats crazy.
[Android General] Droidicus:
Personally I don't get why so many people are excited about the Samsung Galaxy S II. I have the Galaxy S. It came out at 2.1 when 2.2 had been out for months and finally got 2.2 about 6 months after it went on sale. NOTHING since.

For me, Samsung is a #neveragain product. ZERO support.
[Android General] phoneyericsson:
Yes, the manufacturers sometimes give clear support for some phones. My phone was launched around June 2010 on 1.6 (don't laugh lol) and I bought it that August. It was upgraded to 2.1. Around May/June 2011 an upgraded version was released instead of upgrading the 2010 line. Sony Ericsson said they 'give up to 2 years support and updates' for the phone. Most of the updates had negligible effect.

Any of you guys know your phone's support level?
[Android General] rye&ginger:
SGS update for GB has been out for several months everywhere except the USA for some models. That clearly makes this a USA carrier problem as Samsung has delievered timely updates outside of the USA.

The model for Android means the updates flow slowly through the system once they are announced and code is released. In BB and iOS, you get it all at once because its a closed system and RIM and Apple dont share anything with other companies.

Cooperation results in more variety and features but comes at the expense of slower implementation. This is seen in any situation, not just with mobile OS.
[Android General] phoneyericsson:
But it is the open source nature of Android which allows communities like Cyanogen and XDA to exist. We succeed where others fail.

Plus, while I like some Apple products like iPod, some of the rest of it is tremendously over-expensive clever marketing, where people show off their expensive goods to friends and pay for Apple's champagne parties in the process.
[Android General] Theonew:
XDA existed years before Android was released.
[Android General] phoneyericsson:
Perhaps but that doesn't mean that we don't benefit from systems like Android. With BB and iOS you begin with a closed system locked down.

The phrase is not mutually exclusive - that one point is true and the other false.
[Android General] ThemBonesAreMe:
This doesn't bother me so much. I'm currently developing on a Rogers HTC Magic running 2.1 and I'm fine with that (ok not really, I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus in January). Anyway, the way I see it is targeting lower APIs just means there are fewer functions available for us to use, meaning we have to implement a few extra things ourselves. No big deal.

What is a big deal is the inconsistency of implementation of features by different manufacturers (eg Camera intent) That makes me rage.:mad:

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Well keep in mind that your 2 year old phone may not be able to pull the greatest and latest version of Android. That could be one reason for a short support cycle.

As much as I would like rogers to update my phone to 2.2, it's not going to happen, because the hardware is not so good (by today's standards)
[Android General] Willieumm:
The author neglected the fact that there are hundreds of Android phones available and only 5 different iPhones (not counting the varying colors/storage spaces). It's far easier to provide and maintain updates for 5 devices than the 20+ Android devices each manufacturer has released within the previous two year period (minimum contract for subsidized pricing).
[Android General] blueseeker:
Even the European Orange carrier branded Galaxy S is at 2.3.5. This non-support thingy is a US only problem (and probably some Asian countries).

American carriers are some blood sucking companies, of course they don't want to update their phones, because they must sell the next big thing.

And God, they fuc**d every good phone released there. That GNexus version from Verizon isn't even a google phone anymore.

US people should buy the international version if their network is compatible (like AT&T) and stop complaining. I only buy unlocked versions of the phones, and if I bought a low-end Android phone, I wouldn't complain about not getting updates. Seriously, you expect for your OEM to upgrade your 200$ (unlocked phone, I don't care how much is on contract) phone from 1.6 to 4.0 ?

I don't see my mom complaining about Android 2.3.3 version on her Galaxy Gio because he doesn't even know what an OS is. And even if the phone won't get updated anymore, the phone is perfectly working.

Now, if I do read tech blogs, I know what an OS is, and the most significant thing, I'm on XDA, is so hard to flash a custom rom on my almost out of warranty 18 months old phone ?

And what good is to update your phone if afterwards it will work like sh!t? 3GS is an example.
[Android General] phoneyericsson:
Some interesing points there...

- I agree that it wasn't really elaborated that the iPhone has a couple of variations whereas the Android situation involves many manufactuers so it is obviously going to work differently, watch Apple try fill those shoes. I don't really pay too much attention to Apple on that count though. While I think they do generally a good job looking after their own customers, take a look at their product portfolio - they have no interest in mass market generally, for quite a few years now they've moved away from iPods (companies which move away from their original core products have a struggle to survive) and into iPhones/iPads and now iTV incoming, which are, as we know, 'products of exlcusive consumption' which yield very high profit margins. That has nothing in common with the multi-manufactuer Android-approach, so I don't think very much about what Apple would do, simply, they wouldn't.

- Interesting note from the developer side there from that other person ^^^. And I hate throwing fuel in the fire, and I especially hate this term (it's a word pushed by Apple/Microsoft to spook Google's business partners in my opinion) but is fragmentation a problem?

- Also, this isn't an American problem. I'm European and we have the same problem. For you guys, contracts for 2 years -seems- to be normal there, but prepay is very popular here. The networks/carriers subsidise the handsets heavilly and you are not locked down really. There are some normally very expensive handsets in the shop now for €150 and I can use that for a year or whatever I want and switch next year. The network/carrier has paid a lot of subsidy to make it that cheap for me though. Contacts suit businesses perhaps more than consumers in this area. Secondly, minor point, but problems like Carrier IQ seem to be rampant in the US, whereas I've yet to find a company here using it. (there surely is, but they've yet to be named and shamed).

- Product support whether contract or prepay is usually defined. I just read another article point out that 2011 was the year of Froyo, which was released in 2010, it took so long for it to be rolled out. 2012 will be the year of Gingerbread, because it too is taking so long to roll out, yet we've just seen ICS come out...that Google strategy that some manufactuers signed up to...was it a joke?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
are you charging the tab on the dock at night, or separately? does it help/hurt it to charge on the dock every night? Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Doesn't the dock expands on to the tablet's battery since it has it's own. I would think when combined you should be able to charge it all at once. :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agtitan:
Same as the original transformer. Keep it docked, and plug the keyboard into the charger...it charges both.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wannatp:
I've just been putting my tablet on the dock at night, and then charging them both through the dock. Both are fully charged and ready to go in the morning. I switch a lot between docked and un-docked mode, but even with heavy use during the day, I don't need to re-charge till evening.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
when does the dock begin charging the tablet? right now I am on battery battery power, my dock is at 99% but the tablet is at 79, does not appear to be charging.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
From the FAQ

Why isn’t my Eee Pad fully charged by the mobile docking?

When your Eee Pad is docked and disconnected to a power adapter, the mobile docking only charges your Eee Pad battery up to 90% maximum to protect your battery and prolong its life. The mobile docking recharges once your Eee Pad battery power goes below 70%. The power adapter fully charges your Eee Pad battery to 100% and recharges when below 95%.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
then charging it on the dock at night will never get it to 100? where did you find that FAQ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
that is only when it's not connected to a power source. when plugged in, both devices will charge to 100%.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
from support site

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/TF201_FAQ_en_20111226.pdf

it used to be available from ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/ but that isn't working today ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xdaspyder:
I don't know everything about the battery in the tablet, but I know a bit about batteries in general. When it is plugged in, there will be an almost constant charge on the batteries, meaning heat and stress. That is not good for batteries in general and will decrease the lifespan. Now you could very well be done with the tablet soon before the battery gives out, but why take that risk.

As someone who's worked with batteries, albeit, larger that the ones in question, it is a general rule of thumb to keep the batteries between 80% and 20%. That should be good enough for home. If your travelling, yea a full charge is great and won't hurt, but it would be worse than its worth to run the battery all the way down.

Just my recommendations. Not an expert, but I been around the block.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stephen44:
here is a reference site for battery maintenance

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

it is interesting for Li-Ion it says to charge whilst powered off - my phone is always in the cradle - reading this tells me that is about the worst i could do.

Snippet: from above site

"A portable device should be turned off while charging. This allows the battery to reach the threshold voltage unhindered and reflects the correct saturation current responsible to terminate the charge. A parasitic load confuses the charger.

Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better."

This is also why I never buy a cheap charger for my devices - as you never know if the charger circuit is any good and if it switches off at the moment of full charge.

This becomes more important with devices where the battery is not "consumer accessible"

But I did find out that the Ainol Novo8 tablet has the exact same CPU and GPU as my Newsmy (NewPad) P10.

Download radios from - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and put on root of sd card. I use latest combo..to each their own.

Go into recovery and flash by installing zip you downloaded.

It will say Install Complete at which time toggle to Reboot and it will start install of radios and reboot itself after each install. Dont interupt during this process and it may take a few but once done you will see your rom screen, go inSettings\System Updates and Update PRL and Profile. All should be good after that, if not then yes a new kernel or reflash of existing kernel may also be in order.

[HTC Sensation] leeznon:
Thinking about rooting my phone but I'm not sure if I should.

I bought my phone outside the US, my service provider is in Asia (Taiwan).

My phone is HTC Sensation Z710e.

I want to root because:

- I want to have access to the US Market, not my current countries; I want to access certain apps that aren't available outside the US.

- I want to upgrade to stock ICS when releases are more stable.

- I want to customize the look of my phone with things like CM or MIUI.

- I want to improve battery life (if possible).

I'm scared to root because:

- I don't understand ANY of the "rooting vocabulary" like s-off, kernel, rom, clockwork, radios, etc. Even the "noob" guides confuse me :confused:

- I don't want to ruin my phone.

- Because I'm in a different country I'm scared that I won't have service after rooting.

Right now my only experience with Android is using different launchers. I've tried around 10 but prefer GoLauncher because of the themes and widgets. I use my phone a lot and want more out of it. I love ICS! Not in love with Sense anymore.

What do you think I should do? Root or no.
[HTC Sensation] LosLess:
Hey,

was not everyone in the beginning a noob? :P

To improve the battery life, you could underclock and undervolt the Cpu.

But this is just possible with another Kernel, like Faux oder Bricked.

S-off -> security off, the security off option allows you to write to the NAND,

a flash memory where the main parts of your phone are saved.

Kernel -> The Base Part of a Rom, includes the Drivers and so on.

Rom -> Like a Windows Version, there are different Roms like different Windows

Versions. A Rom is the whole Android on your phone.

Clockwork recovery -> the Recovery System you can install after Rooting, lets you install you own Roms, Updates etc. With another recovery than the Stock, you cant install OTA Updates, but you can update the same with a .zip file with the clockwork recovery.

Radio.... dont know exactly, something that has to be there for communicating

with the network etc.

So, I would just Root, if you want to use another Rom. There arent as much ways of doing things with rooted phones as with another Rom.
[HTC Sensation] tellyizking:
the easy answer would have been yes lol
[HTC Sensation] alanapone:
Hi guy's,

I'm glad you've posted this up as I'm in the same boat. I want to try and get more out of my phone as I have done with my PC. Some of the basic terminology isn't explained in laymans terms on here though (not that I could find anyway!) So thanks for clearing up those bits of information.

As for Rooting your phone. I used the How-To thread in this section and did it pretty easily. Only had a few issues but the guides help you through really well.

I'm now looking at a phone that's rooted, clockworked, S-Off and SuperCID'd but I haven't unlocked it yet.

I'm going to spend the next few days looking through the various threads on here to find out whether there is one preferred ROM that will get my phone running faster and smoother.

Hope you manage to get yours done as easily as I did. It's always worth having a play with these things... Especially if you back it all up so that if it does go wrong, you can just reset it like nothing ever happened. :)

[HTC Sensation] leeznon:
Thanks for the help. I might wait until CM9 releases or a perfect stock ICS ROM comes out.

So I will root, just waiting for those things.
[HTC Sensation] eilu1183:
You can root without getting a new ROM, which is what I recently did. It lets you do things like run setCPU to underclock (and get huge improvement on battery life), use Titanium Backup to remove pre-installed apps, etc.

Just follow steps 1, 2 and 3 on the guide (S-off, install Recovery, Root- takes awhile, but most of the time goes to waiting for the phone to do the work).
[HTC Sensation] KabutoJR:
good question! im also about to ask this. 1 more question is is the CM 7 alpha for sensation are stable to use?? Planning to try root n put CM. =)
