[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
its is a valid idea but I have a feeling the tape will collect dust since it will have sticky borders, and doesn't really prove scratch protection (not that durable).

something like a big generic type of boxwave screen protection would do better i would say since its not as sticky and you can cut many pieces out of it when its time to replace, if you need to replace it at all!!! I'm talking about the screen covers that dont' require water and sopa (not the ones like zagg) but ones that just go on. only concern is how it'll change the picture and video clarity!!! ahhh, i'm takling too much!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] freakboy13:
Yeah you do have to be diligent with it, replace a lot , and somthing could poke through and scratch it. But clarity is exactly why I chose tape...now I'm talkin to much...lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
oh, well usually HTC puts glass or something above the lense xD
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Have scratched lenses been a problem? Are we creating a problem where none exists? Just asking. Are we covering the lens on the assumption that the design must lead to scratches, or cuz the design DOES lead to scratches
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
yes lenses get tiny scratches over time, they are just glass. heck even gorilla glass gets scuffed up over time, here's a guy who cracked the lens COVER, but he could fix that by getting a new backplate since its this htc phone HAS a lens cover on the backplate. imagine when people start cracking the actual lens, then the camera becomes completely useless and you'll need to get a new phone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HttusQFAp3I

up till now most phones had a glass cover on the backplate, that glass cover would get scratched up like crazy after a year of use, MY N1 had that lens cover on the backplate, I had to order a new backplate after a year so I could shoot clear pictures again...the amaze has no such glass over the actual lens... this can create big problems down the line, since its faily new people have not noticed it yet. worse yet, it can break!!!!

maybe we can make a protector out of this http://www.amazon.com/Original-Genu...ce-Replacement/dp/B004W1IYOC/ref=pd_sim_cps_1 worth a try :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
hmmm worth a try, I don't have all this spare money to spend on a bunch of different things though lol.

they have this too, but minimu order is 300 units, its basically the same as as a screen protector, anyone want to go in for 300 units and split it, lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckhole:
Hey guys,

I've bought a slightly used myTouch 4G off of Craigslist to replace my Vibrant.

I've rooted and modded the MT4G and I'm currently running CM 7.2 RC0. I followed the step-by-step directions from the CM Wiki.

I've found what I think is a problematic proximity sensor reading. Every time I place or receive a phone call, the screen blanks out. The only way I've found to bring the device back, is to wait for the phone call to disconnect and then receive another incoming call. This _usually_ will reactivate the display. As long as I don't answer that phone call, the display will remain active.

I downloaded a proximity sensor app off of the market and according to the app the proximity sensor is engaged 100% of the time (which explains the behavior a little bit). But I don't know whether or not to trust this app.

I've tried tinkering with every proximity setting I can find, both in the phone's settings and in the extra settings that CM ships with.

Edit: I'm sorry for not mentioning it earlier, but I have done a bit of research on the proximity sensor. I don't think there's any kind of screen protector that might be obscuring the sensor.

What are the chances that the phone's proximity sensor is damaged? Is there any way to spoof that value and override what the sensor is repeating back to the OS?

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions?

For what it's worth, here's some information from About Phone:

Android Version: 2.3.7

Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g295e82f android@portatile #1

Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-glacier-KANG

Build Number: GWK74

Thanks in advance for taking a look ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Are you using a case? My wife bought a cheap case that covered the prox sensor and it behaved exactly how you said.

Edit: I found an app in the market called Hardware Disabler. It scans your device for drivers and disables whatever you select. The problem is it only gives you the driver's name, not what it works for. If you can identify the driver (perhaps a knowledgable dev could help) you could kill that baby on startup.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckhole:
Yeah, sorry I didn't mention it before. I've got nothing that I can think of that would be interfering with the proximity sensor on the front of the phone; no screen protector, no little case. Nothing at all.

Tonight I've been monkeying around with a few different things, just to see if I got better/different results:

Tried a couple of the different/newer radios from the radios post in the dev forum.

Wiped cache and Davlik partition

Reset phone back to factory defaults.

Flashed back to one of the T-Mobile Froyo ROMs.

None of these helped, but on a lark. I decided to go ahead and shine a big flash light at the phone while I was running the Proximity Sensor Finder application. If I shined the light directly on the proximity sensor, then the proximity sensor would intermittently blink on/off.

It doesn't really help me all that much, but it looks like I definitely have a flaky/bad proximity sensor.

In order to help people down the road who might have the same problem, here's some things I'm going to try:

Deny permissions to the device's file in the /dev directory

Try and use an app like Tasker to disable the sensor.

May flash MIUI, it sounds like it has an option to permanently disable the proximity sensor.

An app on the market called Proximity Screen Off

I'll keep the thread up-to-date with what I wound up doing. It's a bit of a bummer, I got this phone to last me until my contract expires with T-Mobile in a few months. But it was hopefully going to be a definite upgrade over the Vibrant. It's a little aggravating that I'm going to spend the next few months heating the side of my face when I'm on the phone and/or accidentally hanging up on people when on the phone ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckhole:
Last reply to my own thread, I promise. The MIUI's disable proximity sensor setting worked great, although I wasn't really crazy about the look & feel of MIUI (this isn't a dig on the ROM, just a personal preference).

We wound up using a Hex Editor to edit the file /system/lib/hw/sensors.glacier.so, we searched for "cm3602" (the proximity sensor) and changed it to "xxxxxx".

The one downside is the phone doesn't turn off when you hold it up to your face, but that's certainly better than a phone who's display likes to power off when placing/receiving phone calls.

MyTouch 4G: Don't Stand So Close to Me
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckhole:
Just a quick update, I've been re-flashing different ROMs and had to re-make this change. Which helped me spot some typos in my blog post (woops) and I took the time to write something more close to step-by-step instructions. Hope this is more helpful:

http://blog.brianmoses.net/2012/01/mytouch-4g-dont-stand-so-close-to-me.html

Get ADB Functioning on your desktop computer.

Download and install a Hex Editor

Use ADB to pull down the file sensors.glacier.so (adb pull /system/lib/hw/sensors.glacier.so)

Open sensors.glacier.so in your Hex Editor

Search for the text "cm3602" (no double-quotes) and save your changes. Please note, case sensitivity is important. If you're paranoid, it's good to check that the file size is exactly the same as it was before your edit.

Re-mount the /System folder as read-write using an ADB Shell (mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system)

Open up a new command window and use ADB to push your edited file (adb push sensors.glacier.so /system/lib/hw/sensors.glacier.so)

Reboot your phone.

Did this work for anyone else? It did not for my phone. The phone goes black and can't access the dial pad.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobZombiE:
I have the exact same problem after recently i replaced my broken digitizer touch screen & LCD.

I just realized that during the call , when the display goes totally black , if i push the UP-LEFT corner of the screen of my phone (just beside the proximity sensor) , the screen comes back again.

That's because the "adhesive" i used under the lcd screen , is more thicker than the original adhesive.

So the sensor is ok , the distant between the "touch & LCD " and the sensor is the problem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
Well your bootloader must be messed up if your button combo isn't working. The best way to fix this is to flash ATT GB bootloaders (Don't worry, they are backwards compatible with froyo/eclair). GB Bootloaders

As for Rom manager I don't see the necessity in using it. You can download roms from xda and put them onto your sdcard, then flash through cwm. ROMmanager could be blocked in your country (I don't know why it would)

Hey guys I wish my first post would be more positive but I think I've screwed the pooch. I flashed a rom for the first time yesterday (Infused v1.6.0) without a hitch and I got cocky I guess. I have rom manager, 3e recovery, root explorer all in place. Super one click to root. Well, today I tried to flash MIUI 1.1.11 and got into the red recovery screen. Wiped cache/factory reset, then wiped delvik, went to flash the rom. Now I'm stuck on the scrolling screen (I'm new so dont know the lingo too well). It says:

Installing: SDCARD:MIUI-Infuse-1.1.11.zip - Shortcut.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Its been there for like a half hour, with no progress showing in the bar below it. What do I do? Am I just screwed? Pleeeeeease help me I'm freakin out. Thanks guys.

Damn! you are screwed!!! go throw your phone where I can find it. LOL...I keed!

Nah you are ok. if you can get back to recovery, go to mounts and format system, then reflash miui. But why are you trying to flash an old version of Miui
[Samsung Infuse 4G] guitarman16:
I apologize in advance I'm super new to customizing. That version is the one I found first so I just went with it. By getting back to recovery do I pull the battery, then hold vol up and dwn plus power till the samsung logo? Thanks for replying so quickly.

Edit* I got back into recovery (red) and did that but it stays on the same place. Went back in to recovery (red) tried to reboot and got stuck on Samsung logo. Now back to recovery. This sucks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] guitarman16:
I went ahead and flashed back to Infused from clockwork and everything went smooth. I would still like to get the MIUI rom so any help is greatly appreciated. I'm sure you guys have more important things to do than hold my hand through this, but if you happen to have the time it would be awesome. Thanks again!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
go back to recovery and format system then flash miui, after it finishes flashing you will bootloop and again you go to recovery and reflash miui. If that doesn't help, odin back to stock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092021

. head over to the dev forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278053 and follow those steps. MikyMike posted the lastes of miui.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060098

Installation:

1. Place .zip onto internal SD card

2. Reboot into CWM

3. Wipe Cache

4. Wipe Data

5. Flash the ROM .zip

If your phone doesn't boot:

6. Shut down the phone

7. Reboot into CWM using 3 button

8. Flash the ROM .zip again

9. Enjoy

Known bugs:

Bluetooth is semi-working (A2DP audio skips, no sound/mic on phone calls via headsets)

No HDMI out

You'll note these two are the same bugs as CM. The two are closely related and MIUI will always have the same problems as CM (more or less). So don't ask me to fix them, if I'll fix them, when I'll fix them, when it'll be done, how many quarters go into a dollar, or any other such question.

Speaking of which, big thanks to LinuxBozo for porting CM, without which this would not be possible.

Still got cwm.

Flashed original rom BVKE2 but still same problem

Hey, it seems a corrupt kernel is the culprit... in CWM, do:

- reboot

if it doesn't work, try reflashing any custom rom (for example VillainRom)

Now I know what you are thinking: Well you need to install the drivers. Well that's all said and good, except the problem is when I boot int ADB (hboot? Unsure of what to call it.) There is no hardware at all being installed. At all. There isn't any devices that are connected and the computer doesn't detect anything. My problem is that my power button is broken, and I'm not quite able to get a new phone yet. Because of this, I cannot boot into recovery to flash a new rom, nor can I install Blackrose to use the trackball to avoid this problem. I'm just basically stuck because my phone is now a useless brick because I cannot flash a rom since I wiped my phone. Ideas?

Yeah not sure if it will work. If I read it correctly the OP wipe his phone clean, no OS or anything on it and can't get into recovery. I only suggest PASSIMG hopefully the phone pick it up upon reboot while holding down the VOL DOWN button.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
ADB is a daemon that runs in OS, after the kernel boots.

You're booting into HBOOT. So you won't get anything but fastboot. This is normal and how it should be.

You can either use PASSIMG method, or open your phone and fix the power button for $30-something + having good hands, or even for $0 + thin wire + soldering equipment + very good hands, and optional microscope.
[Nexus One General] rattking:
in this case would you be able to use fastboot boot recovery.img and restore a backup or flash a rom?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
If you have unlocked bootloader - yes, by all means. But not without it.

The problem is that if power button failed, and bootloader isn't unlocked - you can't unlock it anymore, the procedure requires pressing power button to confirm.

[Nexus One General] mrandroid:
Question: If your power button doesn't work - how do you currently turn ON your phone?

Let's keep it simple and try the obvious first. Is USB Debugging turned on in the phone?

Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> (check) USB Debugging.

2nd, make sure you have the android SDK installed on your computer (if so, download the usb drivers with the androidsdk app that's included).

You can also right click My Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Make sure under Android Devices yours is listed and that there are no yellow question marks. If there is, do the android sdk drivers step and then right-click the icon in device manager, choose Update Driver and point it to the android sdk drivers folder.

Finally, ADB works in recovery and when phone it booted but NOT in Bootloader mode.

If you can get ADB working then you can install a custom recovery using Fastboot (in bootloader mode) then click Recovery to boot into the new recovery. Also, while in the recovery or ROM you can use "adb reboot recovery" to boot into recovery menu.

Hit Thanks if this helped.
