I agree. I refuse to use a screen protector, don't like the feel of it. I never used one on my Captivate (w/Gorilla Glass) and it lasted me a year without any scratches--and that included being reckless with it with keys/change in pockets and several times getting dropped on pavement. Was able to sell it for a good price since it was in such great condition...

Hello all, I know somebody can help me

I'm running Mosaic 9 on my Captivate. I have an external SD card with some apps on it, and everything else stock.

Today I for some unknown reason decided to wipe the Dalvik cache in recovery. I rebooted, and it was all fine and dandy, got to the lock screen, media scanner started, but then my phone shut off and restarted.

It repeated this, never getting farther than letting the media scanner finish. Occasionally my phone even fails to pick up that I have service...

Is there any easy way out of this cycle?

This sort of thing belongs in the Q&A sub forum.

To answer your question (again, questions should not be here), go settings -> cyanogenMod settings -> tablet tweaks -> choose unhide button and pick one.

Hi

New to this wondering if any one can help

My lg P970 has problems with speaker - as i can here people but they cant hear me. My phone is no longer under warranty but i have bought a speaker for my P970 but can find any instructions how to replace this

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks in anticipation
[LG Optimus Black] verszipo:
If you can hear people but they can't hear you, then it's the MICROPHONE, not the speaker.

I don't know if there's any tutorial about how to take apart the OB and replace the MIC, you could try searching for "Optimus Black replace mic" or something like that.

The best thing would be to take it to a phone service, they are better equipped to replace/repair your phone's components.

Btw, the MIC might not even be broken, i had a SE k800 that had problems with the mic, took it to a service and they found that the mic moved a little and didn't make contact with the board in the phone, they simply positioned it correctly and after that the phone worked without problems :)

For those who have been unfortunate enough to brick their device and don't know what to do,

First,

the usual channels...

odin?

dl mode?

If those don't work, check with your local sprint repair center.

If you have insurance through sprint and the device is truly bricked, they should replace it for you. If you cant get it boot up, that means they can't either. It should just be a simple swap. Even if you don't have insurance, it should only cost $35 for an insurance claim as the device is not labeled "damaged beyond repair". Check with your local SPRINT PREFERED/INDIRECT repair center. Don't deal with 3rd party centers. They just end up costing you more money.

I've had this confirmed by several different service reps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] madeSICC:
Since I'mnot using my sprint account anymore and my wife is hating her evo 4g I told her I would give her my photon

To switch with her will I need to return to stock or just go to a stock ROM and still be able to stay rooted? Just read a post about returning to stock and it doesn't look to much fun.

Same with her evo? since I will.probably just put my line on that phone or my old hero. All of which are running cm9 or ICS roms
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
I would factory reset it regardless what ROM you decide on. After that, it's her personal preference of ROM and how much tech support you want to do on her phone. I left my wife's completely evo stock.

I had a ns4g rooted and unlock, when I got the photon I put the ns4g back to factory now she loves it. Before I did she would come to me saying something happen to the phone all the time lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
Looks like someone found a workaround to the USB charging deep sleep bug. But I have a different "Keep Awake" issue, involving mounting a USB flash drive with a USB OTG cable. After mounting and unmounting the drive (I made sure to "safely unmount" before unplugging the cable), my phone stays awake and drained 10% battery in one hour with the screen off. I think this is a separate bug from the USB charging issue, because this didn't fix itself after plugging the phone into the wall.

I did some research, installed CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats. CPU Spy confirmed that the phone was not entering deep sleep, and stayed at 384Mhz for the vast majority of the time. BetterBatteryStats revealed the culprit to be "UsbStorageUnmountter", which had a constant wakelock, preventing the phone from going to sleep.

I searched the forum and found a few threads that are a few months old over on the International Note forum, but no solutions. Here's a thread with screenshots illustrating my exact problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473321

As noted in the linked thread, the only fix is a reboot. Are there any other solutions for this?

EDIT: I did a bit more testing, and found that simply plugging in the cable, or a non-storage USB device does not trigger this problem. I plugged in a mouse and a card reader (with no media), and removed both and the phone enters sleep. So this is specifically a problem with USB storage and the phone's inability to unmount it properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
I found this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20493582&postcount=22

It mentioned that the process could be killed without a reboot, so I installed OS Monitor and had a poke around. I enabled Root in the options and had it display system processes. Unfortunately, there wasn't a process called "UsbStorageUnmountter" conveniently waiting to be killed.

Since BetterBatteryStats reports it as "Android System", I thought that would be a good place to start. Unfortunately, there are about eight entries named "Android System", and I have no idea which specific process actually handles USB storage just by looking at the file name, or whether they're even safe to kill. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Earthdog:
I'm the the same boat the thread about having the screen on and unlocked does not always provoke Deep Sleep. Also battery pulls and restart does not consistently resolve it either. Very frustration...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
tenderchkn - have you tried plugging it into a "dumb" charger and then unplugging? Since that seems to fix the wake lock caused by USB host chargers, it may also fix your problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
Yeah, I plugged it into the wall with the data cable and AC adapter that came with the phone. It did not solve the problem. I think this is an altogether different problem than the USB charging issue, even though they're very similar with identical symptoms. The difference here is that I managed to narrow it down to one specific process that is causing the problem, which I am having trouble finding a way to kill without a reboot.

I've read through these forums and even had a coworker who has done this for a while try to help me, but still not able to get it.

I followed the guide here

It works perfectly step by step using ClockworkdMod Recovery.

My only need to do this is to use the Wireless Tether. I downloaded it from code.google... site (i did search for the one compatible with the EVO). But I'm getting this error:

I then followed this link here to unroot the phone which worked fine.

I then attempted the guide again with Amon Ra recover, and i'm still getting the same issue. I've even downloaded Root Explorer to try and remove Superusers, but it would not give me overwrite ability because it said i was in read only (unrooted) status.

Any help or suggestions would be VERY grateful!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you're s-off, you need to flash the Superuser zip through recovery, or flash a rooted rom. Without Superuser (and possibly busybox) installed, you won't be able to use root apps such as wireless tether or root explorer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swolltitan:
I did flash superusers through the recovery, but it never asks for permission when I start the tether.

I did this on my Samsung Epic, and it would always state SU was giving permission. I'm getting nothing on this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You have to flash superuser apk and binary for superuser to work and u need to make sure u get super user efghi from androidsu.com and the matching efghi binary then go to the superuser app and update binary to make sure u have the latest to function properly

Edit: u will possible have to flash a custom kernel to get access yo wireless tether as well or you could simply flash a rom with the hotspot hack and have no need for wireless tether at all as sprint hotspot will work then

I need some help in figuring out what images to edit in my framework-res.apk . I do not like the background for the notifications found in a theme i downloaded from the market for CM7 . I used UOT to make a framework-res.apk file (Custom Theme) and i want to use that image for the background . So i am using a self updated version of apk Manager to extract and sign my apks . but i can not for the life of me figure out which file controls the background for notifications . Can anyone shed a little light on the subject for me ? Ive googled and i found one thread stating that all png's for the status bar must be edited . but i find that not helpful as i dont know which pngs are in controll of the status bar and notifications background . I appreciate all help given ! Btw i appologize if im in the wrong section .

As you can see , my notifications window is brought down by dragging the status bar down . I hate that ugly background in the notifications window . I want to change it . But can't figure out how . Btw I failed to mention this is a theme I downloaded .
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
those are in the system ui apk, not framekworks.

like the pic with is shade_bg.

however, to change those remember you need to change the theme's apk, not your system as themechooser in cm7 supercedes the system.

cheers.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] elesbb:
AHA ! You are amazing . I cant believe its named shade_bg like i was looking for something along the lines of notifications_background or notifs_bg or something that makes more sense xP that worked btw . now i have another question for you :) Since youre amazingly smartical !!

Here is a picture of the default theme . Notice where my toggle buttons are (at the top) its a solid background . But where my actual notifications are its not solid . Is this controlled by an xml ? i took apart the default SystemUI.apk and looked at the shade_bg and it is the same throughout(i figured the top of the image was solid and the rest was transparent)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
it would make things easier if you drew on the picture so i knew exactly what you are looking at. ;)

if you are talking about the area around the words "no service" and "ongoing" the background is a .9.png but i forget which - however, i have never seen it transparent.

the green bars can be removed with xml editing.

the white bg of the "auto-rotate switch" is a .9.pngs.

all the lettering is in xml/ colors.

the best idea (when i was making these) is to make things outlandish colors, compile and see what it looks like.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] elesbb:
Hey thanks for the reply ! I actually looked at the xml and it used a different png . The name was like statusbar_background.png or something like that

. And my theory was correct . Just the top of the image is solid making the background of the toggle buttons solid . And thanks for that think :) gives me something more to tinker with :-D

Speaking of tinkering , I was messing around with uot and I wanna get the animated background for the notifications . I tried uploading my themes apk but when I tried switching to the uot theme themeChooser said the theme was incorrectly compiled therefore I could not use it :( . Do you know how I can edit the xml of my theme to give it the animated background ? I uploaded my systemUI and then took it apart to see how it does the animations . And its a series of .png images . But I don't know what modifications are needed to my themes xml to get the animations working . Thanks again for all your help ! You are truly a theme master :-D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
I don't have an exact answer. What files are you seeing as part of the animation? Also, often they are controlled by an XML in the drawable folder (not the hdpi one.) I have changed some animations but not am expert. I would search the thread I gave you to see if possible.
