They stole and cloned it. Not confirmed, just stating the obvious: it'll be leaked from a service centre in Taiwan.

Diagnostics.

Capacitive touch screens don't need calibrating from X min/max to Y min/max like resistive screens, because they don't.

You screen sounds faulty, but with HTC you can calibrate the keyboard so that the software just adjusts where you're hitting the keys. Or you're joking, I can't tell.
[HTC Wildfire S] XDA_h3n:
My theory on the service SIM is:

Theory one.

A person who works at HTC got bribed by XTC (Not the best theory... :( )

Theory two.

The SIM connector is probably for SIM unlock. (idea randomly came up into my mind, but I think this SIM is real.)

Theory three.

HTC database somehow got injected by a hacker taking the SIM file. Wrost theory :thumbdown:

Now what I'm thinking of this is; XTC should be sued by HTC ,but they got away with it.

Does HTC even know about XTC...

EDIT: I think the XTC can mount a SIM ISO.
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
there is nothing like a SIM ISO. Sim cards are not only storage devices. they are a complete miniature circuit board with ROM, RAM, eventually an OS etc.

Many security relevant features are hardware-implemented and cannot be copied like data.
[HTC Wildfire S] Wolf Pup:
Tried the keyboard thing. I heard in another thread that gravity affects it too (when screen is facing down)!

Yeah. I ripped one up and there was a black chip inside. I ate it.

I think the code accidently got leaked, maybe intentionally by a crafty ex-HTC dude.

I've been researching XTC. The most informative thing I found was this:

Yes, I am a noob. Yes, i did look through other posts for an answer.

Here's the situation, I have a T-Mobile Sgs 2, I need to unlock it for a different SIM. The phone is rooted, the superuser app is there. I would download an unlock tool, however, whenever i try to "Add a Google account" to get to the Market, I get an error "Can't establish a reliable connection with Google servers" (did this on a WiFi connection, many many times). So I'm left with one option, to get the code myself from the nv_data.bin. I have the UnlockCodeGen program, but I need to get the nv_data.bin somehow, and i can't find the efs folder in any of the phones directories. How do i extract that damn nv_data.bin? Any info is greatly appreciated!!!!! please, get back.:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:

Both apps are free and easy to Google

If thats true could you provide a different way to unlock it? :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
Okay, you will need to contact T-Mobile and ask them for your unlock code. None of the programs out there work for the Qualcomm™ based Samsung Galaxy S II variants. If T-Mobile doesn't give you the code, because you passed the 90 days, go to an unlock web page and pay them. They will give you the code.

Try navigating to the USB device in Device Manager and uninstalling the drivers. Then disconnect/reconnect it, sometimes this clears up issues.

I finally remembered that i have two laptops in the house and grabbed them and tried to get it hooked up to one of those...no dice. I'm thinking possibly something wrong with the data pins on the usb connector of my phone.

I'm paranoid about flashing anything because if something goes wrong I wouldn't be able to odin it and start over again...

I guess i just need to relax and enjoy the phone the way it is until may...then go buy something brand new and flash the hell out of that...

Thanks for all your help and work!

have you tried cleaning the pins in the usb port on

the phone?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dustin1980:
I had cleaned the pins with rubbing alcohol, a bit of felt and a toothpick (too small for a qtip) no dice.

Then yesterday evening i plugged into the computer to charge rather than walking to the other room to get my charger and i heard the Da dum of it recognizing my phone...it installed it and up pops the device...

I think my phone is like a crazy girlfriend...she is mean as hell to you all the time then when you get ready to dump her she decides to be nice and make you feel guilty you though about ditching her.

* I've reset the settings on my phone and formatted the sd card.

* I've uninstalled kies and disable usb debugging.

* I've tried searching for long extensions using (as admin) FileSearcherforKiesFix.exe but get an error Access to the path 'C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup' is denied.

* uninstalled the mtp device.

* searched the usb drivers folder for drivers

* Run Ccleaner

Is there any other fixes I could try?

[Android General] Jamolah:
Just want to start off by saying that I don't have an iPhone or any Apple product for that matter. I have an Android phone. So I don't want people to start by saying I'm an Apple fanboy.

One thing that Apple has done consistently very well is market their products extremely well.

1.	Take for example the marketing campaign for “there’s an app for that”. That was brilliant Apple used the apps to sell their Phones, instead of just the phone. Yet Google doesn’t do that.

2.	Now look at the way they are marketing the iPad. Their commercials get people excited about the product. They show you the fancy graphics the cool and neat things you can do and the public is sold.

3.	Or take SIRI for example it got so much buzz yet Android had voice actions long before, but yet they didn’t take advantage of that in their marketing campaign. Or even the fact that they packaged SIRI as a personal assistant, why didn’t Google do this first (with voice actions).

The general public doesn’t really care too much about multi-core GPUs, 1G RAM or 2 G RAM. I find Google / Android focuses a little too much on the stuff that the masses are not interested in and they kind of lose sight of the big picture.

Take the new Samsung Beam, Samsung/Google should be marketing this thing like crazy. It’s the 1st phone of it’s kind with a built in Pico Projector. Do some kind of marketing campaign that it’s the closest thing to a hologram or something like that. Get people excited about your products. I feel if Apple put a pico projector in their iPhone, the marketing would be a lot more exciting.

What do you guys think?
[Android General] shockem:
I agree that Google needs to put in a lot of effort into marketing their products. Honestly I see apple making so many advertisements and everything. I have never seen a Google advert on TV. I have to search YouTube . So... I hope Google sees this thread and changes for the better.
[Android General] spunker88:
Its not really up to Google to sell Android, it should be the OEMs doing it. The most effective Android commercials I've seen were the Droid Does ones for the OG Droid and Google had nothing to do with those. That was all done by Verizon/Motorola.

And to be honest the Apple commercials mostly annoy me. There was the Mac vs PC commercials where they spread false rumors about how bad Windows was. There was commercials when the iPhone first came out that made it look like no other portable device had ever done the stuff it did, when we had similar apps on WM for years. Granted the UI wasn't as finger friendly but I look for functionality first and aesthetics second. Now we have commercials where people are treating siri like a person, there is one on now where a kid tells siri to "Call me rock god". Voice commands are useful for real commands like text x person x sentence or go to x website and Apple does show some useful siri commands in their commercials, but the other ones annoy me.
[Android General] Primevyl:
Google has more streams of revenue than apple. I'm not sure this one face of their triple dodecahedron is worth them putting much more capital into. Maybe after Apple starts a search engine they will take notice...but word of mouth has been doing their business wonders on the mobile phone front. That , and service provides and OEMs shouldering the brunt of advertiser bulk.

Rezound on Ineffabils 1.3
[Android General] Jamolah:
What you pointed out in the highlited comment is exactly what I'm trying to get at. Apple takes something and puts a great spin on it to sell to the masses and they just eat it up.

But Google doesn't seem to do that.

And I think it is up to google to sell ANDROID. I know ANDROID has the largest market share for OS on mobile devices. But they need to get the jump or market their products a lot better. It's not like Google doesn't have the money to do so, yet why don't they do it?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Problem: For most of us, the big, bright screen eats up most of our battery power. One advantage of LED screens is the darker you make them (including using dark backgrounds), the fewer milliamps they use. So you could turn off auto-brightness and manually adjust the brightness to darker settings. Far from perfect since you must adjust it every time you go from a dark building to a bright sunny day - and vice-versa. A pain.

I recently installed Screen Filter by haxor industries. They only tout its ability to make the screen really dark for night-time viewing, with the side benefit that it will also save some battery. It works great for that. It will make the screen much, much darker than the lowest stock brightness level (even using apps which take it to its absolute lowest setting, which the stock brightness slider won't allow you to do). I've found going to 25% is perfect. It makes the screen a little gray when you go really dark but its a minor downside.

Solution: I realized it can also be set to only dim the screen a little, like 75%, or 80%. Not helpful at all in a dark room since it is still very bright. But I also noticed that it works along with the stock auto-brightness setting. So you can apply a fairly bright setting to Screen Filter and leave it on all the time, effectively lowering the stock auto-brightness level a few notches no matter what brightness it picks. You still get the benefit of auto, and you get to reduce the battery draw all the time, on the single-biggest battery user on the Note.

You can save multiple widgets on the home screen, each set to different levels, so you can turn off the 75% setting and apply a 25% setting at night with two button presses. Or turn it off with one button press in bright sun. And/or you can add it as an app shortcut which allows you to adjust the brightness from an "ongoing notification" in the notification bar.

I'm starting a test today, leaving mine on 75% all the time with auto-brightness on, and using 25% in dark situations which doesn't happen often. I expect this will produce a noticeable improvement in battery life.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
Simply setting my brightness down to about 25% and leaving it I get 4.5~5 hours screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
This is still working well for me, with a noticeable increase in battery time.

I've adjusted my lowest setting from 25% to 30%, too much of a gray cast to the screen at 25%. 30% is still pretty dark in a dark room. The 75% setting is good most of the time but I've found in full sun I usually have to turn it off.

ANd if you are using Juice Defender Ultimate, There is Brightness feature built in that do the same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Looking at the reviews for that app, someone said that Dimmer takes the screen down farther. I tried Dimmer before Screen Filter (only for night time viewing) and can confirm it will take the Note down to the lowest allowed 10/255 where the stock brightness only allows you to go to 30/255. However, Screen Filter will make the screen even darker than Dimmer. Something to consider - not bashing any of the above. Just sounds like Screen Filter is better both for daytime and nightime use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wx4olf:
I use screen filter to read at night. I'm not sure about the battery savings but with screen filter set at 12.5% the screen is unreadable unless you are in a dark room. In a dark room at that level white text is more gray than white as well.
