[LG Optimus 2x] nuvo84:
First of all, thank you for answering.

In the first post it says that the ROM comes with 218 RIL. I changed the RIL with GetRIL to many versions (compatible ones). The baseband it comes with it is 1035.21_20110725, which is the same in the LG stock rom (v20m). Basically the problem was not only in Temasek's kangs, but also with every version of Cyanogenmod. The weird thing is that it works when I put a sim card from a different carrier. So I got confused a lot of what's wrong.
[LG Optimus 2x] djjkfno:
Have you had a look at your APN list in the settings/wireless/mobile network menu? Considering it works with different sims. Just a suggestion from a random noob. ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I'd say you're right.
[LG Optimus 2x] nuvo84:
I checked the apn settings already, thanks anyway mates.
[LG Optimus 2x] nuvo84:
I found what's wrong. The problem is the type of sim card that I have. The chip on it is smaller than the other ones(actually I think those are the kind that you can cut and make it into a micro sim). Probably they're not compatible with cm7 roms.
[LG Optimus 2x] djjkfno:
I always thought it was the same as microsim, only more plastic around it. Good to know.

Hi guys!

I have an issue with the auto-brightness setting, running on MiniCM 2.1.8

It simply does not work :(

Even if it is turned on, the backlight is extremely dim. Also, the phone does not react to any changes of the light setting.

The light sensor seems to be working, tested with a performance/benchmark tool from the Market.

And yes, I've tried the workaround described in the change log.

Indeed I tried all possible combinations.

Is this a known problem? :(

Can anyone propose a solution/workaround? Please help:confused::confused:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pesky_89:
1. enable autobrightness from Settings -> Display

2. enable Allow Light Decrease from Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Display -> Automatic backlight

3. enjoy the great kernel and rom
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebra13:
Thank you for the hint!

However it does not help - this is the changelog workaround I tried first :(

I have been toggling all display settings (both generic and CM) but autobrightness never works.

Any other suggestions? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pesky_89:
try to check Use customs Cyanogen settings - display - automatic backlight

if this does not help, just do a full wipe and check only automatic brightness from display and enable Allow Light Decrease from Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Display -> Automatic backlight.

it should work. go near a light bulb and put your finger on the sensor (small circle in the upper right corner of the phone) and take it off and you should notice the difference

post the result here
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebra13:
Thank you!

After the full wipe it worked!

Before that I was also experiencing various issues (LED notification lights not working, clicking on a given setting would actually open completely different menu, restarts during phone calls) - let us hope that this will be all solved after the full wipe.

Quite interesting, because this was a fresh installation, say I full-wiped before I installed the ROM the first time, but who knows :) :rolleyes:

I was looking for a better and extended battery for my G2X, but after seeing how ugly the replacement back cover if you go with a bigger batt is, I decided not to. Couple days ago I saw that the stock battery is 1500 mAh and on Ebay I saw one made by Andida at 1980 mAh I gave it a shot..

I'm really happy with the results, it does make a big diference and I didnt have to get a new cover..

This is a great alternative...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylyxcore:
Nice find! I am going to give it a shot... and for anyone else interested in this, here is the link on Ebay
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Onismurai:
I just got one but not from eBay, in OBO store from China, just $9 :D

Work GREAT, only problem is... it take 3 weeks for delivery :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Razorblood:
I have been using this as well and get great results over stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hiryuu:
I bought one from obostore as well, though shipping took quite a while.

It works pretty well, about equal or a bit better than the stock battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
How much better is that???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Just ordered mine off Ebay, thanks for sharing guys! Mine should be here by Feb 6-7. It is shipping from California and I'm in NJ.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Onismurai:
2-3 hrs~ more for me, running Weapon Clip. Before using this one I have 10~ hours for normal using with stock battery. :D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Mine should be coming in tomorrow can't wait!!! Neither can my G2x!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] biscuitownz:
I have that battery, the battery life gets worse overtime... I stopped using it and switched back to stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Anyone have another link to this battery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Razorblood:
Search it on obostore, that's where I got mine
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baiduzizi:
It is a low brand in china, and it looks like the MOMAX brand.

It is sold for about 4$ in china.

I am pretty sure that the number 1980 is not real.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Onismurai:
It can be used and use good, that's enough :D. Who care
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zechizen:
It may not be 1980 but I notice that it can last as long as the stock battery if not a bit longer. Thanks OP for giving me alternate option than the huge 3500mAH battery that I've been using.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] info[]box1:
I ordered 2 stock batteries for the LG Thrill 4G described as 1540mAh. Should be here by Friday. $8.00 a piece is a very price. Plus I think my stock is going bad so using this a primary and back up.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I just ordered one myself - I'll post back with my results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
So I've had this battery for about a week now, and I'd say it performs about the same as the stock battery. (I don't have exact hour measurements though) It's nice having 2 batteries for the G2x though, since I don't have to worry about running out of power mid-day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lordzu:
The DMCA want to make it illegal for us to root or jailbreak phones, tablets and gaming consoles. If this happens then we lose the ability to customize, fix bugs, and correct security issues on our devices that we pay money for. Xda developers will go away , and so will software innovation. Think about what we will lose Cyanogenmod, Miui, Juggernaut, Beastmod all of it gone and so will the money developers make selling root apps on the market this is important. If you think this is silly tell Steve Kondik AKA cyanogen hes the one who brought this to light for many people.

the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)

https://www.eff.org/pages/jailbreaking-not-crime-tell-copyright-office-free-your-devices

Do some homework before blowing this off this is serious! Device manufacturers claim Root/jailbreaking violates Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which carries stiff penalties.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Are you seriously concerned about this? They can't stop us, and if ever we need to send our devices back we just return to stock...simple as that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wilsonium:
Yes, they can't stop us. But the current position on rooting and jailbreaking is only a temporary exemption from the DMCA. This exemption needs to be periodically renewed or it will expire and we will be subject to he DMCA which makes it easy to argue we are breaking the law. That alone would probably have a chilling effect on the rooting communities as the unofficial support from manufacturers dries up. I doubt Samsung will openly support a community perceived as breaking the law.

That said... yes, we need to speak up and help the larger rooting/jailbreaking community to renew this exemption. If we don't speak up, it will die and the FTC will not renew the exemption.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GuestK00468:
Well the question really is if providers have the ability to accurately see what your phone is running and will they be forced to block our service if the DMCA threatens to sue the actual companies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidtoy09:
The real concern here isn’t about our ability to root/jail break our OWN devices or not. It’s about control! These scumbags along with the a**holes that support SOPA and PIPA simply want to keep us in check so they can shove their BS down our throats for the price of whatever they want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xile6:
If this happens then no one would ever upgrade phones and the market would take a big hit. We true rooter would aways stay on old phones to keep root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
I'd rather have a 100% stock sII than a modded up g1

Smartphones = computers. Its legal to do whatever you want with a computer so long as you do not commit cyber crime.

Desktop pc -> laptop -> notebook -> netbook -> tablet -> smartphone

All these devices are the same... the only difference between them is the size & spec. They are all essentially computers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnn:
If you don't support this by educating yourself and then registering your comments with the US Copyright Office within the next 8 days, like the Software Freedom Law Center has, what do you think will eventually happen to websites like xdadevelopers? Making jailbreaking/rooting illegal would apply to all instances, on devices both old and new. So you would be liable if you used such a device, (although it would be difficult to catch everyone), disseminated information on how to do this to your device, (goodbye all websites that help folks root), or sold services or software that helped someone root their device.

And tri4life's comments are accurate. With these kinds of laws in place, service providers would want, or may be forced to, develop systems which could tell if your smartphone is rooted and then turn off service, and likely put you into a queue for a visit from an "RIAA type" lawsuit. BTW, the "lock-in AppStore you can't change the OS" model is coming to personal computers as well. So not only is this a stand against this behavior on the smartphone front, but also in case this starts to creep into the PC world, as well. The Software Freedom Law Center comments go into some interesting details on this.

If you don't think it's serious than you should actually read the law that's in question here. For fun, you can skip down to the end where it describes the civil and criminal penalties that apply if the exemption is not in place. So not only do we need to support this strongly now, we need to work to make this exemption permanent.

Good Luck..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wilsonium:
That's not entirely true. Some parts of all those devices might contain firmware that is copyrighted and encrypted. The DMCA would make it illegal to circumvent that firmware encryption. The only reason it's legal right now is because of the FTC exemption who ruled it's OK if we're not breaking any IP copyrights.

IMHO, SOPA/PIPA are all expansions on this kind of heavy handed lawmaking and is driven by the RIAA and MPAA. They've been going after 8 year olds and grandmothers just because they'll probably settle and pony up even tho they didn't do anything wrong. But don't misunderstand me. Piracy of IP is a big issue and should be dealt with but siphoning granny's bank accounts and making it illegal to mod your devices is not the way to do it.

We should be asking why we still need these laws if they can still go for an off-shore target like MegaUpload. I think they already have the tools they need and should stop legislating what I do with and to my technology. The scary thing is SOPA/PIPA are NOT DEAD... just tabled for now. I'd bet (not much) that once it's out of our recent memory they'll pass it so fast it'll be law before we can even fight it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pb3000:
All this recent laws worry me more and more that we are loosing what so many fought and die for over the decades, it's being forgotten that it is By the People for the People not By the People for a few.

why in the world would android continue to be open source then? as Well, HTC allows rooting of devices pretty easily, As well as samsung has their new open to the public Dev programs, so their probably gonna follow HTC with open rooting. I really doubt Android phone manufacturer's will let it go on for very long if it did end up being illegal. Why else does anyone else buy android phones? I think they know that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
Sammy has been kicking out Android phones with unlocked boot loaders from the get go (IN YOUR FACE HTC), so rooting and customizing is almost a given from the manufacturer, but not from the carriers. If it becomes illegal, then it becomes a slippery slope for all of us!

Here is a guide for those who may be confused:

Rooting/Jailbreaking:

Smartphones - YES

Tablets - NO

Unlocking

If your phone was purchased prior to January 2013 - YES

New Phone - NO

Phones purchased after January 2013 can be unlocked with carrier's permission​

Unrelated:

Blind people can now use DRM stripping software to enable read-allowed function on eBooks purchased legally. However, to supply blind people with the software necessary to do so violates the "trafficking" provision under the rule, and is illegal.

What is not clear....

Carrier unlocking or bootloader unlocking...

Woah, so we tought that here in quebec the government was corrupted.... Poor Americans =/ corporations are totally controlling your government, comeon... safety ? you will probably hurt someone rooting that BAD BAD tablet.

Another problem you have is that well, the people ruling those ministeries ( can it be called like that in the states?) dont have a freaking clue what they're talking about... a tablet is same thing as a phone but with a bigger screen not some ultra weird entity that is eating childrens.

I thought the United-States were the land of freedom, I was wrong. You cant even be free on your device. Your ancestors went to war for their freedom, now its slowly being taken away from you. I cant stand this. You might say fine, your from canada and it doesn't affect you, but it is wrong. Canada is like the "litte brother" of the states. we will get the same laws in a couple of years if people from the states aren't reacting.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fishinginicelandforice:
It is actually quite logical in an arbitrarily illogical way.

The currently definition of what is a "tablet" has been determined to be overly broad. There can't be a ruling on a class of devices without a definition of what they are.

"The Register found significant merit to the opposition’s

concerns that this aspect of the proposed class was broad and ill-defined, as a wide range of

devices might be considered “tablets,” notwithstanding the significant distinctions among them

in terms of the way they operate, their intended purposes, and the nature of the applications they

can accommodate. For example, an ebook reading device might be considered a “tablet,” as

might a handheld video game device or a laptop computer."​

"...the Register determined that the

record lacked a sufficient basis to develop an appropriate definition for the “tablet” category of

devices, a necessary predicate to extending the exemption beyond smartphones. In future

rulemakings, as mobile computing technology evolves, such a definition might be more

attainable, but on this record, the Register was unable to recommend the proposed expansion to

tablets."​

Ok so what is the verdict
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fishinginicelandforice:
There were 5 exemptions made, here they are in a simplified form:

1. Blind people are allowed to strip DRM from legally purchased eBooks to enable read-allowed programs. However, it is illegal to distribute the DRM ripping software.

2. Cell phones are ok to root/jailbreak, Tablets are not

3. Cell phone carriers are no longer required to unlock a phone if it was purchased from them after January 1, 2013. Phones purchased before January 2013 are still required to be unlocked upon request. Carriers can still unlock phones at their discretion after January 2013. (this rule was a change because most carriers currently have liberal unlocking policies in place.)

4. Defined the use and amount of content that is allowed to come from ripping DVD's for documentary/educational/etc. purposes

5. Bypassing DVD encryption for the purpose of creating/researching methods to add/improve closed captioning is acceptable

sorting pictures

Hi. i had a problem when i was copyin pics from one of my device to other. It couldnt be sorted . I tried many options such as renaming , quick pic . nne worked. I found that when you copy pics to windows and it automatically stamps a "date created" time any time a file is copied. Due to this when i copied my pics to a new device from windows folder it wouldnt be sorted by date taken rather was sorted by date created. the way around is not using windows as the middle platform.

I connected both my source phone and destination device to a laptop. Copy directly from one device storage to the destination device storage. this does not edit the time stamp. This worked for me and all the copied itmes were sorted in gallery according to time taken.

So the only way is to copy directly from one device storage to another device storage (without copying it to windows intermediate folder).

Hope this works. do let me know if you need any help.

Hi, i bought a Samgung Galaxy Tab P1000L 7"

but it comes with IMEI blocked, can anyone helps me to unlock ?

Thank

Hugo.
[Galaxy Tab General] nerotNS:
Was it locked the first time you turned it on?If it was yhen take it back to the shop where you got it and explain the problem and if they can't fix it than request a new one.IMEI locks are specific for carriers and are used to lock a stolen device.So if it is locked that means the carrier activated the lock and only they can deactivate it.

[Galaxy Tab General] nerotNS:
Well there you have it.Who knows where did he find it.If it was in your country perhaps you can go to your carriers and see if they know who is the real owner.(You might get a prize :) ) Otherwise the tablet is as good as dead flashing a custom ROM wont help as it is impossible to change your IMEI.And if you dont want that then ask the guy for a refound.For all you know he might have stolen it.Sorry but those are your options.Too bad its a good tablet.
