[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
i suppose you are running Windows on your HD2?...i have not experienced signal issues on my HD2, but i have experienced constant freezes. since you have already reflashed your HD2, i suspect the problem is more of a hardware issue. Have you tried another SIM card and see if the signal is ok?. It might be your SIM card, or the SIM connection. If that doesnt work, im afraid its the antenna that is faulty. You can replace your antenna or send it for repair in this case. Meanwhile, if you dont have a spare phone, you might want to use some wifi based call apps(skype,etc).

hope this helps and good luck mate!

seems like overheating and capacitive buttons problem, please dont use that font.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Johan-SonyXperiaSupport:
Try running a update or if your have the latest version a software repair on the phone using PC Companion.

If this problem still remains I would suggest that you contact your local support team to have the phone examined at a repair center.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tomassz82:
I have the same problem. It seem that is has something to do with the proximity sensor. It occurs only when the phone is in my pocket.

I tried to update it, it didn't work. Then i took it back to the seller (T-Mobile). They did a software update with a special software from SE. It solves the overheat issue, but not this.

The problem is still present, but it occurs not so often.

Another thing, if the phone is in my pocket with headset connected, if i accept an incoming call with the headset button, it turns the screen on in my pocket. During the call i press random things on my screen. This is also a problem, the screen should be turned off while the phone is in my pocket.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoshCat1:
Hi,

I have Sandvold's ICS ROM running on my Desire and I'm more than happy with it.

However, during the period it wasn't working I got my old Orbit 2 out and then thought I'd format the SD card from it.

I figured the easiest way was to put it into my Desire and format it through windows.

However, when I put the original SD Card back in it began optimising Apps, it had a full internal memory, and it is running like a pig.

Any thoughts please?

Cheers

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
I'd like to clear up a little misinformation about watching movies on the Flyer after upgrading to Honeycomb.

I kept reading that the upgrade ruined movies on the Flyer because the soft Back, Home and Menu buttons are visible on the Flyer at all times. And maybe aht's tru with some apps, but if you're using the stock movie app, those one-screen buttons go black after a couple of seconds.

Yes, there's still the loss of screen real-estate on movies formatted for 16x9, and it would be nice if the movie app would auto-hide the notification bar instead of just blackening it, but the soft buttons being visible at all times is simply not the case.

Also, keep in mind that "Panavision" formatted movies don't suffer any loss of screen size, since there was a black bar above and below to begin with.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Buttons actually "showing" or not seems like a silly distinction when the notification bar is still there hogging real estate.

And the stock player is a joke for format compatibility. Several other players have vastly better compatibility. I've hardly even used the stock player, except to verify that it sucks as bad as the stock HTC player on my phone. So yes, I think many people on here are referring to 3rd party video players.

I've tried HoneyBar, after several people on here recommending it. But it seems to make some apps act wonky, so I uninstalled.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TidBit:
OMG!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
SO let's really clear something up. Just what video format are some of you playing on the Flyer , that needs the "entire screen" ???

Facts:

1. The Flyer and View screen is 1024x600 pixels.

2. HD video has a 16:9 ratio

3. Perfect fit without distortion for 16:9 = 1024 x 576 Pixels

4. The HoneyComb system bar is 48 pixels high

5. 600-48 is 552

6. 576 - 552 is 24 pixels

7. at most, with a properly formatted HD video you are missing 24 pixels so your

8. optimum screen format will be 976x552 pixels with no distortion.

9. if you allow it to stretch to fill all available pixels its will be 1024 x 552 with a 5% vertical pinch.

10. The highest video resolution you can play is still less than 720p format which has a resolution of 1280x720. But that is the closest standard HD.

11. Playing 1080i or P on the Flyer is a huge waste of storage space since the screen cannot reach that resolution, but the hardware will decode it , if its properly formatted.

12. For optimal performance use one of the hardware supported formats.

HTC Flyer Supported Video formats

3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .wmv (Windows Media Video 9), .avi (MP4 ASP and MP3), .xvid (MP4 ASP and MP3).

HTC Flyer Supported Audio formats

aac, .amr, .ogg, .m4a, .mid, .mp3, .wav, .wma (Windows Media Audio 9)

13. If you must use a non-supported format because you don't have time or are too lazy to convert a video then you need to use a 3rd party player. Which will offer more codecs. Some will be software codecs which will work, but may degrade performance especially if you insist on trying to feed it 1080p or i.

14. Remember that some things people call "formats" are not formats, but containers, MKV and AVI for example. MKV is just a container file and can contain almost any video format so all bets are off with such containers unless you know what is actually inside.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
5% is 5%. Whether this is important to you is completely a matter of personal taste. And I would never stretch any video to fill the screen, even if by 5%. Looks ugly as hell and obvious its stretched.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
So what you really need is a table with a screen 1,920 pixels wide by 1,080. Which they do actually make, but I don't think it will fit in your pocket.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I think its really just more a matter of people wanting to fully utilize the screen that they are holding in their hands. Or the video image being smaller than they were used to on GB. I'll agree with you the difference is very minor. If the Flyer had always been on HC, people may not even be complaining about this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
Come of your fanboy horse for a second and let people rant about a real issue. :rolleyes:

That 5% does make a difference, especially when viewing and editing PDFs heavy with text, which btw, is what the Flyer was made for.

I am willing to pay/donate a nice reward to the developer who makes a mod, ala Honeybar, that actually works with most apps and doesn't cause distortions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
That case (document reading) is really a wash ,since all that happened is the bar moved from the top of the screen to the bottom , taking up the same amount of space. Honeybar should work fine for that application.

Since the operating system has no support for hiding the system bar , by design, anything a developer does to hide it is going to be a hack like honeybar and will cause display problems with some apps, like honeybar does.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Gingerbread runs fine on flyer. Switch back and sup complaining about something that exist on all honeycomb tablets, and that multiple apps exist to fix. There was never any realistic expectation that the honeycomb bar world not be there.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
Sure the lose of screen real estate sucks but I like that better then having the capcitive buttons lit while watching Netflix on GB. Now if someone could kill the magic pen light.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
This site exists for developers to come up with solutions and enhancements for problems that exist with the stock operating systems. To respond to this issue with "stfu and stop complaining" goes against the very philosophy of xda.

I'm not complaining for the sake of complaining. Gingerbread had support for fullscreen apps to hide the bar. I'm simply hoping a real developer (which neither of you are) will be able to code a solution into a rom, kernel, or application. I am willing to pay for that solution.

Switching back to GB is certainly not a solution. HC is faster and much more capable in the scribe notetaking and editing fields. Thank you for your suggestion though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
you have hurt my feelings.

There are a couple different apps that remove the bar. Lee Droid, a real developer has enabled hw buttons. I would not hold my breath waiting for another solution. Also since ics uses a similar bar I guess in general you will be dissatisfied with Android moving forward. The bar is part of honeycomb. I remove it for videos and video games, otherwise it is a welcomed addition
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Believe me, I would prefer to have the hardware buttons enabled also, as ICS is rumored to allow. In order to maintain the correct aspect ratio on 16x9 movies, the Flyer's stock player shrinks the image horizontally as well as vertically so you do lose a fair amout of screen real-estate. But the reason I started this thread was beacase I had read many posts in this forum that complained about the Honeycomb soft buttons being visible while watching movies, but neglected to mention that the stock player darkens them so its not an issue.

In my case, the stock player works fine for me. That's because I have over 200 DVDs that I've digitized as H.264 MP4's using DVD Catalyst 4, and they play just great with the stock player. And that's all I really need. I'm sure there are others in my position.

I'd hate to think that there are folks who will avoid the Honeycomb update due to being misinformed, as I was. That's because the Honeycomb update brings so many other killer features. I've been doing a lot of typing on my Flyer using a bluetooth keyboard (tablets are for content consumption only? LOL! Not mine!!!) and having the up,down,left,right arrow keys map correctly in landscape mode is just fantastic. Also, having the pen available in all my apps is awesome. As i noted in a different thread: it's just crazy, ironic and frustrating that HTC killed off this marvelous tablet at the very same time that they released the Honeycomb update that really makes it shine!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I agree with you other comments and share the love, but HTC didn't kill the Flyer, production of the Flyer was done and finished and over back in June. This is common and typical. HW makers do a production run of as many of an item as they think they can sell and then move on to the next product. They cannot afford to idle a production line and wait and see. In the case of the Flyer and View, HTC made way more than they could sell at their target price of $500 ++ and closed out the remaining stock at below cost. A common practice. Nothing crazy about it, simple business decision. They could not produce more at a price they could sell for a profit.

This is with full brightness, GPS, wifi, and sync on. Multitasking between several apps ( navigation, youtube, maps, browser, games, cf benchmark, and about 3 hours of video playback half with audio half without). As as you can see the screen was on the entire time and was in use.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barakisbrown:
Hello,

I was wandering if my tablet is hosed or not because of the following information after I tried to install early preview

of ICS and I have opened it. I have taken to a repair shop but they would touch because 'they think it is a software issue.' Software would not cause the followine:

A:My Tablet will not turn on.

B:My Tablet is not seen by my pc(I have tried every plug)

C:Master reset button does not do anything

D:When I try to run APX, it says that there are no usb connected.

E:When I either try to charge with/without dock, it will charge for about 30mins max then the charge light will shut off.

F:Windows does not recognize my tablet when connected to my PC.

I would use this thread if my tablet could actually turn on. I have tried to see if it will show up in APX mode.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Have you checked to see if you are actually just in APX mode?

There won't be a thing on the tablet screen, will look like it's off (no color change of the black "off" getting lighter from being "on", etc..).

If you were able to nvflash before, have you tried nvflashing again?

Just as a test, plug the tablet up to your PC (that you have used nvflash on before....so we know your USB config is valid for the Gtablet), go ahead and hold the volume - down and then press power for just a second. Now try to nvflash the device.

My tablet was stuck in an APX boot only process for a LONG time (about 9 months). I could nvflash it with different ROMS to test, just couldn't power it off because once I did....it appeared to never come on again. Reset button did nothing, Power button did nothing, screen was just "off" black period. I could still nvflash....

I got home after school and tried all suggestions and I still could not get it into apx mode. I watched the youtube video but I could not get my computer to recognize it like it does in the video.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
If you've checked your USB cable

and done the HW reset procedures in the posts correctly

and also tried the nvflash on Linux

and if the tablet still doesn't go into APX mode,

then you might have truly bricked your gtab.

They say it is unbrickable--but, really, it is not.

It does look like I really did brick my tablet because I have TRIED everything. I knew what I was getting myself into when I flashed it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the3dman:
You could try installing Ubuntu on a spare computer, and see if Ubuntu detects your gtab. Ubuntu does not need apx drivers. All you have to do is plug in USB open a terminal and type lsusb and hit enter. You will need to attempt to put your tablet into apx mode with power and volume down first. Doing it through Ubuntu will eliminate the possibility of a driver error.

[LG Optimus 3D] w8st8:
Should I write my complete story of my problem? Dunno... well, just two sentences:

I've rooted, CWM'd my O3D and installed quite a few GB-ROMs, never noticing that something is wrong with them all. The Baseband seems to adjust the mic-volume of Bluetooth-Headsets, so that you almost have to whisper so your voice don't get distorted on the other side of the call.

First I thought my headset was broken, so I bought a new one yesterday. But no, the new one had the same problem.

After reading some how-tos here on XDA I've managed to downgrade my Baseband/ROM to V10k (T-Mobile), and guess what: The headsets are working perfect! So I guess it has something to do with the Baseband.

I've now flashed the german V21A.kdz cause I wasn't able to root that V10k (not working USB-Connector, just charging my O3D when connected, even with uninstalled and reinstalled LG Mobile drivers. With V21A the USB-Connector is working the usual way).

So, 2 questions:

1. Is there any hack/setting/app which manages the MicBoost (or similar) on bluetooth-headsets?

2. If not, any suggestions on how to root the V10K, better say get my USB working again with V10K?

----Edit 19th Jan----

Got a respond from the LG support telling me, that they'll only give support if I'm using 1 out of 5 LG-headsets. Great. :-/

Ok LG, I'll buy one, but be aware if it's not working!

----Edit 21th Jan----

Just to tell you how I solved it:

The LG-Headset arrived yesterday, and it didn't work (I've expected that though), so it's going back to Amazon.

Fed up with life and the way things are going I decided to rob a liquor store... no, wait, that was another thing. ;)

On V21A, I saved all my data from the internal SD-Card to my PC, removed my external SD and formatted the SD-Card and everything else (data/cache,...) via CWM. Now that the phone was totally reset, I installed V10K.kdz again... and it worked. The USB behaves as usual, Debugging mode works like a charm. I'd never expected that it has to be the fault of something on the internal SD-Card.

Anyway, now I was able to root V10K and my Headset is working again. Hooray.

Thanks have to go out to adixtra for those awesome tutorials regarding flash kdz-files which helped me a lot in this case. I owe you one.... or two. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] pantlesspenguin:
I'm trying to run the WiFi hotspot on my Amaze to connect to a tablet. I can get the tablet and Amaze to recognize each other and connect. The tablet shows I'm connected to WiFi, but I can't run anything that needs data on the tablet. I've contacted T-Mobile and they say that everything should work without adding anything else to my plan. The rep I spoke to said it was a known issue with the Amaze, and there were a couple workarounds but she said she wasn't that familiar with the technical aspects of them and didn't want to give me any wrong info. She did tell me about a 3rd party app called WiFi Static that may help, but she wasn't familiar about any of the settings. Do you fine folk have any advice for me?

Nope. The only thing I used to root for was screen shot abilities and now that's baked in. I haven't even researched about rooting the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
I'm willing to bet that the tethering your going through is being blocked by the tethering manager as tablets are required to have webconnect instead of smartphone internet data plans. Try downloading apn manager from the market, then open it and look for all t-mobile tethering apn's and delete all apns in regards to t-mobile tethering.

That hopefully should fix it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lillypad_33:
I read that there are a few apps that can schedule things, but I was wondering if it's possible to build into the kernel a way to schedule airplane mode.

Basicly, you could set it for 11:00pm to go to airplane mode, and switch on automatically with alarm, or at 7:00am or something.

Would this be something that other people find usefull?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
It is useful, indeed.

But as you said, there are many apps can do this. For example: Tasker.

So, I don't think it is that easy to develop this on kernel.

Probably on a ROM, by including certain apps, but not on kernel.

However, using an app would be easier (think about bug!).
