I looked around a little bit and I know there used to be a thread on it but for whatever reason I can't find it. How do I go back to complete stock? I'm currently running GummyCharged FE 2.0.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Here are links that help you to get back to factory stock (with PIT file) or just get back to stock (without PIT file). Be careful when you flashing PIT file, make sure you read the instruction.

Here

1. Use Odin to flash stock EP4 along with the charge.pit file to fix your partitions

*Charge.pit >>> PIT slot of Odin

**CI510_VZW_EP4_ALL_ONE-LTE....tar.md5 >>> PDA slot of Odin

***Re-partition should auto-check itself but if it does not, check it, and Uncheck auto-reboot

2. Wait for the download to complete, unplug and power on, and Ta Da!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
I`m very happy with my prime, and apart from the gps it seems to be without faults. But the auto contrast is really annoying. I get why it`s on in powersaving mode, but it is still there, even in performance mode. Is there any way to turn it off? I hope this can be brought to Asus`s attention.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
This might be what you seeing at work. Its a new innovative technology from nvidia implented in tegra3 for further battery savings. They have another feature they added also but can't find the description on it.

" NVIDIA PRISM Display Technology - PRISM (or Pixel Rendering Intensity and Saturation Management) reduces a mobile device’s backlight power while simultaneously enhancing the pixel color to deliver the same visual quality with substantially extended battery life."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenrz:
I have never had an issue like you describe... anyone else? Is it happening more in bright situations or what?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lt thistle:
I don't have anything like this. Do you have auto brightness turned on? Could it be tied to that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Get out of powersave mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] givver:
I have noticed this too. On several occasions I have noticed the screen getting brighter or dimmer for no reason. I have checked and the Auto Brightness IS off. It doesn't happen all the time but I have noticed it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jkvato:
I have auto brightness turned off, and I sometimes get this problem while watching certain YouTube videos. I can't think of any specific ones off hand. It's pretty annoying. I always run in balanced mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tolriq:
Same problem here.

A really simple way to see that, is set the contrast to the minimal (like when in bed :p) and watch any video the luminosity will flicker a lot.

It seems that starting from 25% luminosity this effect is way less visible (even if still here).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Hmm... I've always had auto-brightness off and the display has never changed on its own.

But I usually have the brightness very low, and this may be my inability to notice these kinds of things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
Just did some testing, it's less visible when the brightness is turned up a bit, but still there. But I tried a regular movie, and I didn't notice it, but it was very obvious when watching anime. It happens in every power mode. I guess I can live with it if it's only visible when watching anime though...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dime_veyron:
I think you are talking about Tegra 3 DIDIM tecnology

and it can't be disabled on TFP
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cernunnoz:
yeh, I guess that's it. I wish they would implement a way to have it disabled in performance mode at least.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qery:
I wonder if it's hardware related or software/driver related. Hopefully in future rom developers find a way how to disable it because it's really really annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PapaSmurf6768:
The best way to see it is to turn your brightness all the way down, go into a dark room, and play a YouTube video. You'll definitely see the contrast/brightness changing.

Sent from my ROOTED Transformer Prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThirdDegree:
The above describes this issue perfectly. All the resets in the world will not fix it, I'm afraid. This is a "feature" of the Tegra 3 chip to increase battery life. I have been experimenting with this extensively. You will notice this much more when brightness is set low (in my case, below 20% or so). It is especially evident in large white or light grey areas of the screen. You will notice what looks like automatic readjustments of the brightness of these areas. It will appear as though the screen is the automatically increasing and decreasing brightness - and the effect is by no means subtle. Try watching a video where there is a lot of white sky. Have a look at this video:

Search for Youtube Video "St Patrick Swipe" if you wish. Set your brightness at about 10%, with auto brightness off. Ensure you are in Balanced power mode or Performance power mode (the effect is very evident in Powersave mode if you want to try that, but I guess that is to be expected). Switch the video to full screen and go to point 1:53 and watch as the two guys go through the gate and up the hill (until about 2:12). You should see the video darken and lighten noticeable (thanks to the good old grey Irish sky!).

For me, this is a show stopper. It means I cannot watch videos at lower brightness levels, when the effect is more noticeable. It also means that when browsing web pages (which have white backgrounds), I am constantly seeing this contrast readjustment and it is very annoying and distracting. I really wish I was the kind of person who notice this kind of thing, as I'm sure quite a few may not. I am returning this otherwise fantastic tablet because of it.

Yes, I know this is my first post and will probably be deleted (you guys are strict!), but I've been reading about this problem here (there are plenty of threads) and in other forums and just wanted to add my voice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chazam:
I noticed this the other day whilst watching this YouTube vid in bed with the brightnes low.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMm9E8pGZ7M&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It'd be a little better if it was a subtle change, bithgening ad dimmming slowly rather than the abrupt increase/decrease in brightness. It'd be even better if it could be disabled altogether but at least I know it's not a fault with the TP and is in fact a feature.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest everyone, I'll live with the annoyance. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kupfel:
I also really wish this could be disabled. It is very very noticeable when watching anime. Keeps changing from bright and vibrant to dark and dull :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NoThrills:
Just a quick heads-up: In the Acer Iconia A510, also a Tegra3 tablet, this issue does NOT occur.

So it's not a hardware thing and Asus needs to fix this :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Privateers69:
Could the problem be the proximity of the light sensor near the screen? Maybe it's bleeding light into the sensor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] allthatinny:
i myself is having this issue, and i see it constantly cause it affects my eyes alot, my eyes feel like its re adjusting to the dark and brighter setting when it happens so i notice it instantly, i really do wish that it would stop, cause its hurt my eyes at night when the screen gets brighter, i think its affected by whats being displayed on the screen, if something is really too bright, it dims it and if something is too dark it brightens it but for gaming and viewing movies that can get very annoying since movies and gaming changes scene very often.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jirv311:
This is a very good possibility. Stick some tape over it and do another test. If so, you would think it could be possible to disable the sensor?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, crazy it took this long for a thread on it. I brought this up not two days after I got my Prime :D

I've just gotten used to it I guess, I don't even notice it anymore. I keep IPS+ turned on all the time though, so even at the lowest brightness setting it's like 50% of the regular IPS mode. That could help me not notice I suppose. I also never worry with Power Saving any more because of the decrease in picture quality: Balanced offers me exactly the same battery-life with my CPU profiles set the way they are.

This was one of the only things that was originally making me annoyed enough to just drop the Prime and go another route. But again, I just stopped noticing it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hajalie24:
This is especially noticeable and very annoying when using RootDim to set the brightness to the lowest possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
I wonder if part of this power-saving technology is that the dynamic range and/or precision of a given pixel is limited, such that changing video content has to be re-mapped into different color space or range limited dynamically. Does it exhibit color banding or other screen artifacts with the brightness at a lower setting?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] woekje:
No news?

Has no-one been able to hack the chipset into disabling this 'feature'? Whether it's DIDIM, PRISM, or whatever, it's not working well, and it's annoying the hell out of me. While watching a video at the lowest brightness setting, I can see the gamma and color saturation changing all the time. Sometimes the gamma is so high that all the brightest colors look almost the same, completely washed out. I appreciate the idea behind it, but it's just not implemented well. I think it might work if it is calibrated well to the screen brightness, and maybe differences in screen responses cause it to be fine on some devices and completely horrible on others. Anyway, an option to get rid of it alltogether should have been included...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mightymn:
The same issue is present in Nexus 7 and can be very annoying, at least for me. Yes, Tegra 3 again...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jwarner7:
I have a Stock 16GB Nook Tablet running 1.4.0

My nook fails to boot from SD depending on the size of the first partition on the SD card. I have tried the following SD cards:

16GB microSDHC class 2 (two of them)

32GB microSDHC class 4

For example: I formatted the 16GB card using the nook tablet, and transfered the acclaim_update.zip to the root of the sd card. The nook would turn on but wouldn't load the update. However, I put a single partition on the 16GB card of just 300MB and it loaded the update and applied it.

It seems that when I have a small partition I can boot from the SD card to root the device but I want to be able to use all the space on the card. Perhaps I need to try a class 6 SD card?

Thanks for your time!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PCLOVER93:
Hi guy's, I would just like to start off by saying that XDA is a wonderful site full of amazing information. It just so happens that the problem I'm having isn't anywhere on this website which leads me to think if I'm the only one who has this sort of situation. Basically what's going on is that I would like to root my T989, mainly to get rid of carrier bloatware, so I looked around the internet and YouTube videos and learned how to do it, the only problem is that I am failing at the first step of it which is getting it in download mode. I downloaded Odin3 v1.85, then while running Odin I held the volume up+down buttons and at the same time plugged in the USB cable, as soon as I do that the phone boots into a screen that is showing the battery being charged instead of going to the warning screen and Windows says that the device was not recognized and the USB has malfunctioned. I did install the Samsung ADB drivers for the phone, I also turned USB debugging on, and I tried three different computers all with the same results. Oh and if anyone wants to know, I am running Android 2.3.6. Can anyone please help me? I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me find a solution to this.

BTW this is my first thread on XDA :)

Paragraphs are your friend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Muff Burner:
I would remove the battery 1st and let it chill for a sec. Replace the battery, and hold vol - & + and then connect your USB cable. Do this in that exact order and you should have no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Also if your PC isn't recognizing your phone I'd try a different USB cable. Sometimes that works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
I had the same problem with my previous sgs2, i tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, used a different usb cable, tried a different laptop and nothing fixed it, if your computer wont recognize the phone after trying everything you can think of, then do what i did and get a warranty exchange, after that my new sgs2 connected perfectly

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
remember that **** well lol.

TO OP:

There are a couple things you can still try, but chances are slim since you did try 3 different computers. It might have been possible that the installation of the drivers (when you plug in your phone) was interrupted somehow and it left an incomplete installation. You would need to download usbdeview and remove/delete/uninstall (forgot what term was used) everything android/samsung related.

Plug in your phone when it's on in the homescreen or something.. let it sit for like 5-10 mins for it to install everything.. there is like 5 things or so. Now try to go into download mode.

If that doesn't work, make sure you're using the t989 drivers.

if that doesn't work, then install kies

Try to mix and match USB wires and USB ports on the computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
Yeah I did all this, so op if you do all these also and it still doesn't work then to the warranty exchange

And I mean Free as in Freedom. I was encouraged when I heard HTC's announcement about not locking their boot loaders. But it seems like there is a caveat there. I've just started researching that.

I have LOTS of people ask me to recommend a phone to them and I'm forced to tell them that there is nothing that I really like right now. I got burned by the defective GPS in the Samsung Captivate so I don't ever want to deal with them again. Which saddens me because I'd like to recommend "the Google phone", but it is a Samsung. I guess I'm waiting for Google to start running Motorola.

Back to HTC are they currently the most Free manufacturer on the market?

Flashing a kernel, booting into recovery and selecting cm7 to install and running galaxy_s unlock app to defeat a carrier lock? Im sorry if you found that to be trivial, but those are hardly hoops, and it doesn't get any easier than that on other phones. The locked bootloader on htc/moto phones doesn't even allow you to flash a kernel, luckily htc does allow some phones to be unlocked.

My screen got cracked about a month ago, the phone will pwer on, however I cannot see the screen. I received my replacement from the insurance and I haven't sent my old phone back in yet, because I have pictures of my kid on there and quite frankily I think it is bull**** to send it back with that kind of stuff on there. Anyway Asurion sent a threating letter, saying that I owe 500$ if the phone isn't sent in within 10 days, so this is where you guys come in.

I need help retrieving the data from the phone, so that I can have the pictures of my son or if its not possible, I need to wipe it clean so that they cannot (even if they won't) see my stuff. The screen is broken as i mentioned, but it powers on.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aganar:
So I've got a bluetooth headset for use in the car. When the phone is on using voice commands from the headset works fine. But as soon as the screen turns off, I can no longer command the phone via the headset anymore. If I get a phonecall I can answer with the headset just fine, and if I do a long-press on the headset's multi-function button it will automatically call back the last number I called, so I know it must be capable of bypassing the lockscreen somehow. But I can't just click the button on the headset and say "Call _____" if the phone's screen is on; the phone just wakes up and goes to the lockscreen.

Any idea how I can give the headset access to the phone without having to go through the lockscreen everytime? Obviously if I'm using the headset it means I'm driving, so having to input my PIN is not a safe way to go, considering the whole point is that everything is voice-controlled. Maybe an app that will temporarily disable the lockscreen if the phone detects it's been paired with a bluetooth headset? I checked the settings for Voice Command and didn't see anything that covers that.

And no, "Disable the PIN lockscreen" is not a viable answer. Please don't suggest it.

EDIT: Dunno why it won't let me delete the thread if no one's replied.

After thinking about it, I found a way to make AutomateIt (an app) do what I wanted it to do. For anyone interested, I have a trigger to check to see if the phone is connected to the bluetooth device, and if so to disable the lockscreen. Another trigger-action re-enables it if the device disconnects.

Bluetooth bypass

Thank you for your post. Can you share how to implement your solution?

I am working on remapping a key on my car to voice commands but am running into the same problem as you.

There is a "Allow bluetooth bypass" setting under security, but it is not working in what I am trying to do. (I am not sure exactly how that option works exactly)

Thank you.

Also, anyone know how the "Allow bluetooth bypass" option works? I have searched through xda and google, but have not found much so far.
