[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jigger01:
I recently got a LG Optimus Pad for my wife. As it is running pretty much stock 3.0.1 and does not seem to be on the list for 3.2 from LG. Does anyone know if there is someone working on porting ICS 4.0 to this device seeing that 4.0 is open source does anyone know of a project to port this to the LG tablet? Or if anyone some info on even getting the japanese port of 3.2.

Hi guys ,

I've got Galaxy S I9003 and I installed 'Titanium backup' and by mislead I deleted my top status bar (the one that slides down). How could I restore it? Is there an app or what should I do?

Thank you very much :)

[Android Software Development] alt236:
Description

Once, I was playing with a number of Chinese tablets and trying different ROMs on them as they are technically the same hardware (HSG X5A variants).

I've had some problems getting the hard buttons to work though, so I wrote this application to detect key events and print them out. It will print out the following:

KeyEvents:

The KeyEvents as Android understands them (KeyUp, KeyDown, KeyLongPress, KeyMultiple)

LogCat:

Any relevant messages in logcat. Its filtered based on keywords declared in arrays.xml

Kernel:

Any relevant messages in the kernel log. Its filtered based on keywords declared in arrays.xml. Kernel log parsing needs root.

The three checkboxes at the top control what information will be displayed.

This is a personal debug tool, but I hope it will be of some use to someone else.

No Ads.

Notes

While the application is running, the only "hard" keys which should work is "Home" and power. All others will produce their keycodes.

The SU request is to read the kernel log, so I can check if any keyevents are thrown by the kernel.

The location of keylayout files in Android is /system/usr/keylayout.

Kernel log parsing needs root

Both logcat and kernel log monitoring will only display lines containing words from two arrays in arrays.xml (i.e. you need to recompile the app to change them at the moment)

Currently the filters are:

Logcat:

HwGPIOE->GPDA

keycode

keycharacter

Kernel:

HwGPIOE->GPDA

keycode

keycharacter

Permissions

READ_LOGS: Used to access the Logcat log.

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Used to write the exported data to the SD card.

Changelog

v0.0.1: First public release.

v0.0.2: Improved stability, added Exit button.

v0.0.3: Code updates.

v0.0.4: Changed drawables, added sharing, added more info in export text

Wow! Check out this thread on the MotoDev forums:

http://community.developer.motorola...dition-Can-t-unlock-the-bootloader/td-p/23102

Apparently, a person got the Droid RAZR Dev Edition and when he tried to unlock it, it states the unlocking of the bootloader has been disabled!!!

Calling into support yields him no help other than to post into the dev forums. Doing that, he gets a response that they are in the process of updating their files to allow this.

Wow, Motorola. Way to screw the pooch AND your customers. That settles it. I'm done with them.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
They even had videos posted showing how it's done. Sad, but live and learn.

:) SMILE :) It's Not Illegal Yet :)
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
As much as I enjoy Moto's hardware it isn't special enough to deal with all the headache. I'll probably go with a Samsung phone next time, support a company that Apple can't stand lol. Thanks for this post iBolsky, it's sad how pathetic Motorola handles their business. It isn't that hard to understand, we want to unlock our bootloaders, warranty or not. A child can understand that, why not a multi billion dollar corporation?

That's crazy.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Just got a message from the MotoDev Forum mod stating I violated a rule and my account has been set to read-only. The violation: condoning action against Motorola.

In this case, I was telling people how I filed a complaint against Motorola and that others should do the same if they felt that Motorola had resorted to bad business tactics.

Oh well...
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
Create new account, on different computer. Then +1 your post ;)

:) SMILE :) It's Not Illegal Yet :)
[Motorola Droid X2] tkuligowski:
Condoning action against Motorola? You stated what everyone should know.....If your unhappy there are ways to speak up about it.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Yeah, but it's there in black and white about condoning any type of action against Motorola or it's employees. So, I did agree to their terms and conditions when I created my account, so I can't fight it.

No big loss to me. I won't be having a Moto device for much longer hopefully. At least, the X2 will be my FINAL device from them. That might be why they aren't responding to my requests in my current open support ticket.

The silence speaks louder than words. They just don't care about customers, or at least, me. That's fine with me. My business will go elsewhere and hopefully, others will follow suite. Of course, just watch. Now they'll try to bring a lawsuit against me for defaming them or causing them to lose business. Pfft!
[Motorola Droid X2] h_10:
after their bullshyt response to my email, i finally said screw them and used my upgrade for the samsung galaxy nexus. i've had it for a week and i'm giddy like a school kid. it's exactly the same environment that i had when i first got my og droid. unlocked and full of developers, mods, tweaks and roms. with my next upgrade in a few months, i'll be getting an htc phone for my wife to replace her x2. then i can happily proclaim i am a moto free household. i hope they fail miserably. any company willing to constantly screw over their customers deserves no business.
[Motorola Droid X2] tkuligowski:
I found out I have an early upgrade promotion with $100 off a 4g phone so I'm thinking of getting the Rezound for 99.00. Its unlocked now and will be getting ICS. I actually really like my X2 but the locked bootloader is a killer. The biggest thing for me though is the 3g network optimization. I went from 3mg connection to 700kbs average. I like to use the phone for many multimedia purposes and Netflix and a slow connection don't mix.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
are we all really that surprised it can't be unlocked right out the box??
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
I wish they would try... thats exactly the kind of attention this matter needs... I along with you pledge to never buy a Motorola product again. Be it cell phone or anything else ..
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
That's the entire purpose of the phone though, so many other phones that aren't designed for development can be unlocked, and the one phone Moto says will be unlocked, still isn't. Maybe they will release an unlocked ota or tool like they have for htc or will for transformer prime, but people bought the phone with the promise of it being an unlocked phone. Maybe it is too much to ask to be unlockable out of the box, I don't really know, but Moto to me is some sneaky weirdo selling stuff out of a trench coat saying "this is what you want" but when you get home, you realize they've pulled a fast one. They ignore constant, multiple petitions, emails, pleads, and plain begging, and I for one would rather them just say, no we won't be unlocking the bootloader rather than have them pretend that it isnt an issue. They release these vague statments and make it seem like they want to unlock bootloaders, and place the blame elsewhere, but they are just as guilty as the carriers of denying the end user the rights to the phone that WE HAVE PURCHASED.

Sorry for the rant, Moto just frustrates me to no end.

And in no way was I trying to attack your statement Ash lol. Just throwing in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
its all good :) I understand lol
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
For what it's worth, they re-instated my account. Here was my response to my getting locked out:
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I for one will never buy a Motorola product again. I got my son the galaxy nexus and as soon as I can I will get another phone and I will have my wife switch from her bionic. Motorola has lost my buisness for the future!
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Same here, unless they unlock their bootloaders for the X2 and other phones. Otherwise, I'm done.

[LG Optimus 2x] notmatched:
Hi

I have the possibility of purchasing an approx. 5 months old Optimus 2X without recognizable visual or technical defects for less than EUR 200. It's a private sale but there is no receipt, so I'm not sure if I should purchase the 2X.

Is there a way e.g. with the IMEI number of finding out whether the device is reported as stolen? How could be recognized how long manufacturer guarantee is still left and will LG grant me the remaining manufacturer guarantee without the receipt?

Thx, NM
[LG Optimus 2x] mipr:
From technical point of view - I think it's possible, assuming that the phone was reported as stolen. From "mere mortal" point of view - not quite. I mean: if it was your mobile that was stolen then you can ask your operator to block it by IMEI or maybe even - track it (depends on the country/law - usually requires involving the police, etc) And what if it was stolen abroad? It may happen that the phone will function OK in your country but will be blocked on your holidays abroad :) So, I don't think you have much chances to verify it as a buyer. Besides, as I said, all depends on whether the phone was reported as stolen ...

That's something to be clarified with LG branch in your country - one phone call or e-mail to them and all will be clear I think :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirGarry:
In the app Sensor List there is listed a proximity sensor, however I have only heard of people saying the Prime has no such sensor.

The sensor is listed as: Intersil isl29018 Proximity sensor

It doesn't seem like the app can get any readings from the sensor though. Is my sensor broken or what?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Dont see why the TP would need a proximity sensor, its not like your gunna be putting your face on it !

The app is probs just detecting the light sensor as the proximity sensor or similar ..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
The TP has no proximity sensor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SirGarry:
Then how do you explain the listing of "Intersil isl29018 Proximity sensor"? Other apps list the same thing. Try it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Elixir 2 lists a proximity sensor as well, and actually shows it as active and drawing power. But, the app doesn't show it as responding. So, who knows? Maybe proximity sensor functionality is part of a multipurpose sensor, only there's no component to actually take the required readings?

Actually, yes, that's my guess. That part number is a light and proximity sensor, and there's likely just a component to enabling the light sensor part.

http://www.intersil.com/products/deviceinfo.asp?pn=ISL29018
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Already have tried it. The TP doesn't have a proximity sensor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Actually, you're wrong. The Prime has a proximity sensor--only it's a light and proximity sensor (check out my link above). The proximity sensor functionality simply isn't enabled in the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Wrong. There is a light sensor, but it isn't a proximity sensor. Check the FCC materials.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Selhati:
actually i think the prima has one.

I think it is inside the dock. Because androsensor (app from the market) gives me an error on this sensor when the dock is not pluged in.

When i plug my tablet in the sensor says no signal.

Can be a bug, but mayby the dock uses the sensor in the hinge to see if it's open or closed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
There has to be the sensor its used when you close the tablet when plugged into the dock that's how it now to shut the screen off
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
This could be the case, that it only activates it when coupled with the dock. However, pretty sure I haven't heard of people accidentally putting it to sleep using its touch-screen while docked, so I doubt this is the case; more likely there's a mechanical switch on the dock that let's the Prime know when to turn the screen off.

As linked above, the proximity sensor is one and the same with your light sensor (pretty sure it's like this on my phone too... will have to have a look just to be sure). We just have no need for it to be used: that being said, I wonder if dev's can unlock it just for the hell of it :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stretchwookie:
all wrong. the Prime doesnt exist.

/argument

:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Easy test

Easy to prove/disprove. O have tried it when I 1st got the Prime. Put it in the dock. Close it most of the way, leaving it open about an inch or so. Put your finger over the light sensor (about 2 inches to the left of the camera) It does NOT put it in sleep mode. Close it the rest of the way. It goes to sleep. Shine a bright halogen light in to the area at top of screen, after just cracking the tablet and doc apart a fraction. It does NOT come out of sleep. There seems to be a mechanical switch in the hinge. Which I am not very thrilled about. Too easy to break, the light sensor would probably have been more durable. Another great engineering decision by Asus, going for the "Persistent Perfection" or a reasonable workaround to simulate it, LOL!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stretchwookie:
while the light sensor would have been more durable, it would also prevent deep sleep mode as the OS would have to constantly read the state of the light sensor for keeping screen off and for turning it on immediately upon opening docked tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stefan662:
Magnetic

I think the Prime has a magnetic open/close detection system.

In a hardware thread someone observed that the Prime will switch off the screen if a magnet is placed in the upper left quadrant. And since the dock is quite magnetic right of the touch pad it seems to fit. I never tried it with a magnet myself though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NewbieKeepItSimple:
There use to be a GPS sensor listed in the specifications too. I'm guessing if it doesn't work - it will just mysteriously disappear. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Eh, I think I'd hate using a proximity sensor for this. The explanations about magnets is interesting, and definitely not an easily-broken method.

Really though, I plan to use my touch screen even when docked and would be pissed trying to swype/tap/play anything and accidentally send the tablet to sleep.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yoursexyhero:
If there is no light sensor how do you explain the "auto" brightness? It has to be sensing something from somewhere. Unless we're talking about something else here.... cuz i kinda just skimmed through the posts..... >_> :cool:

Ok it started with my first triumph. got it 2 weeks ago lasted all about 3 days and it went dead locked up wouldnt even come on. But whle it was working the stock rom wouldnt connect to wifi no matter what i tried, reset, battery removal, airplane toggle, cleared everything the whole shot. then i installed froycream sandwich and cm7 reloaded and they both worked great the wifi connected no problem. until the phone died.

Enter phone number 2. i had to track down because there werent any anywhere for 100 miles in any direction besides the one i found in a outta the way radio shack. got home the wifi connected right away no problems on stock i thought to myself hmm musta been something wrong woth the first phone from the word go, anyway installed cwm 5.0.2.6, then installed cm7, got all my stuff set up and wifi was working fine. went to bed woke up and went to connect to wifi and nuthing again when you turn wifi on it scanns says connecting and then says disconnected every few mins or so it will try and connect but it just continues to loop. i flashed back to a backup of stock and it connects again. tried froyocream sandwich v1.3 and cm7 reloaded by whysor 3 different builds.
[Motorola Triumph] neofreek01:
ok so ive been flashing back and forth and and clearing this and that and trying different things , doing things in different order, installing different builds, trying to get it to work.

in between custom roms i decided to restore back to stock and see if it would connect stock again or not. at first it didnt, then i rebooted and tried again and it finally connected...woohoo. i was actually afraid that if i changed anything i would lose functionabilty again. but i flashed froyocream sandwich 1.3 again and cfrossed my fingers and sure enuf it connected when i got all setup. i have successfully used it on and off wifi for the last half hour anyway so ill keep posting my results ive seen a few people have kinda similar probs maybe we can figure it out , im looking through logcat files to see if i can see anything funny but................

galaxy note display is 1280x800 pixel right? as i understand it, that is the same resolution that is used in most android honeycomb tablets.

i would like to know if apps made for honeycomb tablets are compatible with galaxy note or not? because my main concern is the unique resolution for a smartphone that might not motivate devs to make apps compatible with it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v8dave:
Games may be the biggest issue due to screen resolution. I don't use the phone for this but of the one mind game I have, the app itself is smaller than the actual screen so I have not used it since.

For general apps that follow the UI design principles to use device independant resolution they work fine. I am developing an application just now and it runs on QVGA upwards. On the Note I get a lot more shown on the screen but it is still perfectly usable on the QVGA phones too.

Cheers,

My advice, go for galaxy nexus. Buy it online. Ull get the best of everything.. And S II is a good option.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Then don't buy it! :)

Note that you could well have exactly the same sort of issues for any phone with a screen resolution beyond 800x480 (e.g. HTC Sensation, Galaxy Nexus etc).

Developers *should* be trying to make their applications resolution independent where possible, but this isn't always the case. However, I've had no serious compatibility issues with my Note thus far.

If you want surefire compatibility, get a Galaxy S II because that is probably compatible with the majority of applications.

Dave
