[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Hi.

I am using SINGH-MIUI, and when on AUTO BRIGHTNESS, the brightness is just too low. Is there a way to change this while still being on Auto?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
Beny, screen brightness depends on your sensor on auto.. how much light it is absorbing.. it is not the fact that it is low with my rom, it will be same on all roms...

Sent via G2X-SINGH-UI
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thanks, but that's exactly the point: i feel that on AUTO, this ROM is much dimmer than other roms. If that's impossible, than maybe i'm wrong?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
if your sensor is covered with screen protector or you are in low lighting room, it will be dim..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashy10:
Hey everyone ive tried tons of different roms, and then I hit miui, this was a brilliant mod for me and i loved the ability to theme my messages app, but the rest of miui i just dont like. So now im looking for roms that have a modified messages.apk of some sort, preferably ics. Also if anyone knows any touchwiz style roms i would love it because i previously had a galaxy and im quite used to it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalitza:
U can use any rom and just try oyt the GO Sms + swiftkey and you'll get a really nice combo for sms. (u can tweak whatever u want and how u want - if u get the pro version, get's even beter)

if i helped you somehow hit thanks button pls.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashy10:
i hate go sms with a passion, i dislike any messages app, and grudgingly im currently using chomp sms.. not enjoying it i must say. I just need a rom that has custom chat bubbles in the messages, doesnt seem like much to ask for. My Galaxy Ace had chat bubbles and it was only $150! seems like the higher end nexus s should have at least that feature.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
But the galaxy ace is newer and has touchwiz >…>

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashy10:
are you telling me i shouldnt have traded my galaxy ace for the nexus..... *facepalm*

look. all i need is a rom with a custom messages app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalitza:
In that case, my rom for example has that bublles style, u can check it out on the nexusshacks website, is the Apex (bixie) v.1.0.0 (combine that with matr1x kernel v.16.5)

Cheers

If i helped u somehow hit thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashy10:
Thanks, I can't check it out at the moment I'm on my phone, is it an ics based rom?

hello

i search one solution where buy one screen diamond with taticle, i already found but the price is expensive

i change of sujet perhaps you have one solution for unlock one iphone 3GS 8 puce toshiba
[HTC EVO 3D] chronic9058:
Is there any kind of gamepad solution for the Evo 3D that is confirmed to work? I don't care if I have to purchase a new product, but I would like a way to use either a bluetooth or USB gamepad.

I know the HTC BT Stack lacks support for the Wii remote and PS3 controllers.

Just looking for some input from other Evo 3D owners before I end up wasting my time and money on something that will not work.
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
You have an option of going to an AOSP rom and using it on there? it works on all bt devices i tested it with a wii mote w/classic controller
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
Alas, there is not, the only way to get a pad working is to have a stock rom, then connect a pad via usb, wiimotes and ps3 pads work very well indeed, but with sense roms the bluetooth stack isn't compatible with pads, due to sense and it's bluetooth limitations, HID USB i think it is, basically devices can't be used as peripherals, including pads.

I'm in the same boat m8, watching my mate on his Gal nexus whilst i'm slumming it on a touchscreen pad is just a kick in the teeth, i do believe no one has ever gotten a pad to work over bluetooth on any device using sense.

Get Gannii's stock ICS rom when they fix the bluetooth and your golden, the camera doesn't work yet tho either :(
[HTC EVO 3D] chronic9058:
I've been looking at different AOSP ROMs, and most people not in the comments that they still are unable to use a Wii remote. Which ROM have you been using, personally?
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
Really? I used cyanogen mod 7 which worked great
[HTC EVO 3D] chronic9058:
Thanks for the input.

Has anyone tried the iControlpad on this phone? I've thought about buying one, but I don't want to sink the money if it's not going to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838

Works with sense...
[HTC EVO 3D] Shabadage:
The Zeemote js1 works too.
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Or you can do some like this. Is much cheaper and works well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6E8KzaVzMI
[HTC EVO 3D] chronic9058:
I guess that would work, haha.

I think I'm going to go with the iControlPad. From what I've read it's compatible with HTC Sense when using BluezIME, has dual analog sticks and a clip-holder to hold the phone as a screen. Sure, it's $70, but comfort is important when gaming.
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Why not gametel´s gamepad?
[HTC EVO 3D] chronic9058:
I like that the iControlpad comes with a little clip mounting system that makes it feel more like a real handheld gaming device. I don't like the idea of having to prop my screen up somewhere and warp my neck to squeeze in a little gaming :P

Although I might buy one to have a 2nd controller for when I get my HDMI adapter :D
[HTC EVO 3D] AZ1412:
I'm using a PS3 Bluetooth controller and it works great. Just get the sixaxis pair app and you are good to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] isamu99:
I have an HTC EVO 3D and do not want to root my phone, so that is not an option :(

Any other controllers out there that doesn't require root access?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mmduluth:
So I'm still trying to get used to my new galaxy but I'm having a problem. Whenever I take a screenshot and try to send it to anyone through MMS, they can't receive it because the file is too large. I've checked and the file gets compressed to 23kb. All of the people I have tried sending to are also on T-Mobile so that's not the problem. Has anyone else had this issue and found a way to fix it? I never had this problem on my Sensation.
[General Questions and Answers] SomeWNB:
I've been using my boring but extremely durable Nokia N73 for the last 5 years or so, but when the 3MP camera on it finally broke after literally hundreds of hits to the floor I decided to finally invest in a new phone.

Video recording has always been a key feature to me.. so I was really shocked when I found out that many high-end phones lack the ability to pause & resume while recording. Which is ridiculous as almost every old phone had it. For example the almighty Galaxy S2 lacks this feature. :eek:

Someone happen to know exactly why this is? .. And more importantly, could you guys please tell me which modern phones DO have this ability?

Thank you in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] SomeWNB:
Oh c'mon guys.. any sort of information on this matter would greatly help me decide what phone I should get.

Does YOUR phone has this little (but for me vital) feature and if so, what phone are you using?
[General Questions and Answers] cvk77:
If there's a pause function or not depends on the app that does the video recording, not the hardware it runs on. Best check the market if there's any app that supports it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humphster:
In changing the battery, I turn the device off and when I do the device vibrates and the menu and back keys stay lite for a bit. So I am wondering, if I need to wait for those

lights to go out before pulling the battery out of my Note? Secondarily, is it ok to pull the battery without turning it off? I am thinking there might be a shut down procedure.

Anybody know?

thanking you in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WereCatf:
It's always best to wait for the phone to shut down before pulling battery. It's the same thing as on regular computers: if you pull power before it's down you might risk filesystem corruption and even unbootable system.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
I agree. I always wait for the button lights to go off and a few seconds just in case.

I would also never just remove the battery without a shutdown except in the case of a crash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humphster:
So what you guys are saying is that from the time you confirm the shut down until the light go out, the device is processing data.

I suspected as much. Thanks for your thoughts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] supersixevo:
Hello guys,

I purchased one of these and so far so good. I'm running an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II- with "ICScrewD Red Edition UCKH7" Rom

The battery is able to charge while the device is operational without boot loops.

After the first charge I ran cpu/memory/gpu stress tests serveral times during the day, kept BT, WI-FI and GPS on while on the road, streamed music, watch videos, set display to max and time out to 2 minutes to expedite discharge basically above normal use.. The baterry lasted 20 hours under those conditions.

After a second full charge the cellphone have been running on battery for 28 hours with almost 4 hours of display time and is showing 56% battery charge left.

The back cover fits perfectly. The only thing I would like to find is a travel charger for it. I bought a GTMAX charger but the battery does not fit in it. I can only charge regular size batteries on the travel charger.

Hope this helps others looking for an extended battery.

No problem. Will do once at home a little later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Don't know if I want to trust another battery from Qcell as far as what capacity they rate it.

Bought a supposed 1950 mah battery through them and it turns out that it's really only 1650 mah. While the battery performance is on par with stock which is fine, if you buy it under the pretense that it'll get you better battery life, stay away.

Do you have any pictures of it on the phone? Is it awkward out does it work well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jadefalkon:
I decided to give this battery a try because of jury duty coming up. I'll drain it then charge it over night and should have some results soon. Pictures on the phone are included for those that want to know how it looks on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rusto:
When I look at those pictures, all I see is this

Are you going to get some sort of bumper or case to go along with that? I'm interested to see if the battery door/cover from other 3000+mAh batteries would work with this one - like the one from the GT Max.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jadefalkon:
I'm going to use the SGP Neo Ex with the battery. I tried the tpu case for extended battery packs but it didn't fit. The back cover of the gtmax didn't fit my phone correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jadefalkon:
LMAO, yeah I'm not big on the design of the back cover but it's going to get me through hours in the jury pool. I have a seidio on order and hopefully that back cover will fit better than the first one I ordered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] XDA_Mod:
:D nice bat. What about the first uses? should you discharged full and then charged till 100%? or you should use it normally till like 40% and then recharged full? (40% to don't degrade the battery life)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heelfan71:
Im downgrading to 2.11.605.5 , I currently have 2.11.605.9. After doing this and using revolutionary I was not sure if I will still be on 2.11.605.5 after I root? If so, will I have to flash a rom that has 2.11.605.9 built in it? And if I stay stock rooted will I keep getting messages about an update from Verizon? I really want to stay stock rooted, but can flash a custom rom if there is one that is a stock / debloated type of Sense rom.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heelfan71:
Anyone? Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
You will get the update nag unless you install a rooted OTA update version of the stock ROM. I know those are available, quick search yields a couple versions, some fully stock, some with tweaking to remove bloat.

Take a look at what's available, choose and flash one after backing up your current setup.

The radios are a different story. Their performance varies by geography and device. Again, search and read up on them and flash to see what works for you.

Ymmv from that of others.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e@glesfan:
So in my search for an answer, I have been led to this forum. I have been trying unsuccessfully to log in and register my serial number for my TF-201 with the ICS OS.

I would like to be able to see what updates I am downloading when I am notified that I need to install the update. But this is the message I get after I input my serial number.

"This service is currently not supported on Eee Pad Transformer (TF101) and Slider (SL101) running on Android Honeycomb. It will be available on ASUS Android devices running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)."

Ok i rooted the phone when it was on 2.1 & it worked just fine, after the root it said system update, so i said ok to froyo, now i can't for the life of me seem to be able to root this phone the Samsung one click root dosen't work, & my PC won't recognize the phone so i can't use Odin, It's really pissing me off, if anybody can help me i'd sure be greatfull.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayzooos:
Make sure you have the latest drivers from Samsung installed on your PC. Reboot the phone, reboot the PC, start as fresh as you can. Best way to go about it is to Odin EC05, One Click root with CM3 (purple version) and go from there.

Check the stickied thread with the old stickies in it, you'll find everything you need in there. And last but not least, for the love of everything holy, don't use the stock cord. Get something decent, blackberry cables seem to work the best for me. Make sure the port you're plugged into on your PC is on the back (so it's direct into the board) not one of the front ones.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Well first off, having the thread title as "???" does not help anyone with searching for answers.

I'm trying to understand your situation: So you say you were on Eclair and rooted, and then was able to upgrade to Froyo while rooted? That's not possible. The update would have failed after seeing a file system mismatch.

For Eclair and Froyo, the 1-click root method works. However, for Gingerbread you have to Odin a custom kernel and recovery, then install the Superuser app. Once you have CWM installed you can flash any EL30 rom you wish. The modem is upgraded manually. Look in the dev section for the sticky thread that has the thread link in it.

To follow up on your Odin woes: use a different USB port that is directly on the motherboard; and a different cable.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I recently saw a port of ICS, but ppl where talking about the fact that it does not support hardware acceleration. This made me wonder: i am using SINGH-MIUI - does this rom supports hardware acceleration?

I obviously would prefer a ROM that takes advantage of the phone's capabilities.

Thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
I asked the exact same question last night lol. Sadly the answer is no :( Our GB dont support hardware acceleration, unlike the SGS2 version. From what I've collected, we have to wait till CM9 is completed, or LG/Nvidia release more code before we have a real hardware accelerated rom. As much as I want it as well, I am afraid I must tell you to just sit tight and wait :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
MIUI does not support hardware acceleration. I hope that answers your questions. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thanks! It does. But still I would like to know - which ROM DOES support this feature? Also, would you recommend sticking to a rom that does, or do you deem it not so necessary?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hhwong:
I THINK the new cm9 beta support hardware acceleration, although it is still kinda buggy. I had to revert back to weapon after testing it for 2 days since video and bluetooth doesnt work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah, only ROM that has HA is CM9 or any other ICS ROM. Although currently, CM9's HA is just a dirty hack as they can't implement real HA because nVidia won't release their driver source. I have no idea if CM team will ever be able to reverse engineer HA, but what I've learned is that we should never doubt CyanogenMod. :)
