[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Transient77:
I upgraded my i896 from ICS 2.11 to 3.1. Everything seems to be working well, but auto-brightness seems to be fixed on the dimmest setting. Previously in 2.11 this was working correctly. Manually adjusting the brightness works fine.

I tried placing the phone under a bright light but it had no effect on increasing the level.

Also, I tried installing the Sensors Fix, but that just resulted in the opposite problem -- the auto brightness was stuck on the brightest setting.

Does anyone have any other suggestions to fix this problem?

Edit: Sorry, I just realized there is a thread specific to ICS related questions. I should have posted this there.

soon I will be in NY and I want to upgrade my phone, I use a lot of game/apps and lots of music.

which is better: droid razr, razr, sgs2, galaxy nexus or someting else?

and if someone would tell me where I can buy these phones sim free (and cheep)... (gsm 850, 3g 2100)

Thanx, Itamar

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ask77:
This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undrwater:
I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.

My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).

I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ask77:
It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc

[Kindle Fire General] madiaz3:
Hello, I'm trying to mount my university's network drive known as netfiles to my kindle fire either through an app or some other means.

Here are the specifications of such a drive:

These files are stored on a network attached storage (NAS) platform known as "NetFiles." NetFiles utilizes the SMB/CIFS protocol to provide shared access to networked storage, allowing both Windows and Mac users to store and share files with one another."

Now I have done this on my PC laptop rather easily before but I am unsure of how I would go about doing so for my android kindle fire, which is Linux based I suppose?

They provided the following:

For reference the method for Windows is:

and

Now I've accessed the shell before using adb and my kindle is rooted so that does look possible but I won't be able to try that for at least another day as I left my cable somewhere else.

HOWEVER, the school does offer access even when not on the network or offcampus through VPN. And they provide a downloadable VPN profile for me to use and configure. So I guess my last overall questions are:

1. Should I consider the Kindle Fire OS to be Linux based when looking for general methods for such things?

2. Should the provided method with shell and root access work?

3. Are there any VPN Client apps of note that I should look for?
[Kindle Fire General] bcvictory:
Install File Expert to get on SMB shares. Always has worked great for me.
[Kindle Fire General] izomiac:
The Kindle Fire is Android-based, which is Linux-based. Install busybox and many of the commands should work. You can also install something like ConnectBot if you don't want to wait until you have access to adb and a cable.

As for mounting the network share, I'm not sure if smbmount is installed. Using an app like CIFS Manager would be easier (you need either a custom kernel or the cifs kernel mods, both available on this forum, and be sure to put a .nomedia file somewhere so a poorly written app doesn't attempt to scan the whole remote share). An alternative is to use something like Ghost Commander or the aforementioned File Expert to browse the shares.

For VPNs, it depends on the type of VPN. OpenVPN can be downloaded (also needs a tun kernel mod or custom kernel). PPTP is part of stock android, and it'd probably be easier to use cyanogen mod if you need to use it.
[Kindle Fire General] GBH2:
I connect to my NAS (and also my pc) with ES File Explorer. It uses SMB. I just select NEW>Server and put in the ip address (actually just the name of my unRAID server) and hit connect. It works great. Once you set up the server it saves the ip address or name and you just select LAN, pick what you want to connect to and BLAM you are connected.
[Kindle Fire General] qryptiq:
using ES File Explorer - can i use a video player of my choice? I understand there are video players that can play several format videos (just cant remember which ones)...
[Kindle Fire General] izomiac:
I think FileExpert's built-in player might be able to stream from a network share (last I checked only one file explorer had that feature). If you want to stream with any media player, use CIFS Manager. If you want to copy the video to your Kindle Fire then play it locally, any of the file explorers listed will do.
[Kindle Fire General] ghost_og:
+1 on CIFS Manager, especially if you want to use specific apps for certain file types. Here's the guide to set it up on the Kindle.

https://lh6.ggpht.com/xAPu77wHdSLx_uyQ_GKTiKNB21h4t_jZMtq0LGDxRTPxEu12Eo4nyItN5M5ycwiMBvKS

I can't figure out what IP I'm supposed to be putting for this, as its not something from my actual computer but my University network, to which both my laptop and kindle fire are connected.
[Kindle Fire General] madiaz3:
Actually my friend brought back my cable!

Here's the problem

when not adb rooted, I lack the permissions after entering shell to do the following:

smbmount //netfiles/users netfiles -o username=<mynetid> workgroup=richmond

But when I retry with adb root I get a # instead of a $ and it does not recognize the command smbmount.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
[Kindle Fire General] GBH2:
Yes, I forgot to mention I needed to use MX Video player with ES File Explorer to stream video.
[Kindle Fire General] madiaz3:
im gonna give it another go and see if i can get any further
[Kindle Fire General] izomiac:
You shouldn't have to put an IP address in, the hostname ought to work. It also looks like smbmount is mostly depreciated by mount.cifs, which you call with "mount -t cifs" (this is what CIFS Manager does behind the scenes).
[Kindle Fire General] matthew.fiore:
i have been using es file explorer to connect to all my SMB shares. and using moboplayer to open videos stored on those smb shares. works awesome.

moboplayer:

es file explorer:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
[Kindle Fire General] Kapurnicus:
You are streaming without cifs mounting and injecting the kernal module? I HAVE to use cifs to stream otherwise it would copy the videos over the network first.
[Kindle Fire General] madiaz3:
I'm starting to think the adb shell method didn't work because I didn't realize that my device OTA updated to 6.2.2 and I lost root.
[Kindle Fire General] madiaz3:
i dont even know what the hostname should be...i have all of the information i need i feel i just dont know where to put it...
[Kindle Fire General] izomiac:
If the smbmount command was "smbmount //netfiles/users netfiles -o username=<mynetid> workgroup=richmond" then your share path is "//netfiles/users" and the mount point is a directory of your choosing. Username/Password should be self explanatory. Options might be necessary after you get it setup if you find that only the root user can browse the directory or something.
[Kindle Fire General] madiaz3:
I think this clears things up, I'll try this later tonight.
[HTC Desire S] Tetraktys:
Hello everybody,

I'm sorry to post this here, but it appears that I don't have enough post to be able to reply in developpement section...

This is a question regarding Lowveld's rom named Endymion v3.3 for Desire S,

and the installation of patched "endymion control center" apk from his thread's 2nd post ...

Why this app is requesting acces to "paid service" in android ? like sms and direct phone number calling ?

Can someone who can please post this question in Endymion Rom thread...

thx to all :)
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
It's ok. I've send your request here ;)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Your question has been answered. Head over to the Endymion thread and kindly collect your response.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
The answer from lowveld

@Tetraktys

Your answer from lowveld

Thanks Philos

Well, if it's asking for it, it's because I forgot to remove them. There's nothing in Control Center needing those permissions, but as I started the app from an HTC template, it was probably there in the manifest and I forgot all about it.

The only permissions the Control Center actually needs (I think, I don't have the code here) are WRITE_SETTINGS to store some global stuff used by tweaks, and the one to access sdcard, which I don't remember the name. Next version I'll remove the unneeded permissions.

By the way, that question was a bit paranoid on your part. It's sort of ok to doubt something downloaded from market or other sources, but you have to trust the dev which built your rom. The reason is, anything I include in /system, with any permissions whatsoever, will be automatically accepted by the android package manager process. Apps can be made invisible to the app drawer with no effort at all, etc.

Bottom line: there would be many other ways to screw you over without actually asking you to install something and having you agree on it.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Tetraktys:
Hello to everyone.

Many thanks for your deep involvement in getting an answer to my question.

I feel sorry about the emotions engendered by this question and I must say it now because I did'nt already as I more of a reader than a poster...

"Muito Obrigado" Lowveld for your amazing work that I use since the first hyperion..

I'm still "*****in" with my phone every WE since 4 month because I cannot decide wich one of your 3 roms to keep for daily use...

I'm not a devellopper no an IT guy, just a "geeky tech enthusiast" like many. Getting knowledge from what I read/see on the interweb.

True that a bit of "paranoid" thinking forwarded my question, but the answer is satisfying and understandable, as well as the approval of all users community..

Please keep up the good work !

(and please update Hyperion wich is still the best, battery-wise & big-fingers-wise !)

with Kind Regards ..
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Hey,

Don't worry mate, really no harm done! It was just that I spend lots of time doing stuff for these roms, and maybe overreacted a bit.

Thing is, to a new user, asking for those permissions can really sound suspicious, so thanks for the heads up. But I do hope people that have been following my work for the last months think better of me...

I searched the forum and I couldn't find anything on the subject. Am I the only one that got the wrong color TP.

I bought the TF201-C1-CG from Fry's in Las Vegas during CES and I opened it to find the gray one inside. It was new with the plastic still on it. The color check mark on the side showed gray. I took it back and exchanged it for a TF201-C1-GR and get the champagne one I wanted. The box model number says gray, but the color check box on the side says champagne. I just double checked and the serial numbers on the box and tablet match.

Did this happen to anyone else?
