[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizyplankton:
another more hardcore approach is to unplug the leds. remove the back cover, sdcard, and battery. then use a t5 or t6 torx screwdriver to remove the four screws. remove the back casing, starting at the top, near the headphones. peel off the copper plate held on by 4 pieces of tape, but dont bend the copper. then in the middle of the circut board there will we a yellow film. peel it back to reveal a hole in the board where a long and skinny brown wire plugs in. unplug it, it just lifts straight off. follow these steps in reverse, and the softlights will be disabled.

WARNING: this WILL irrevocably void your warranty, although seeing how old the model is, i doubt it has one

I hardly know anything about this aspect of the Eris (my phone), so I really can't say, but I would doubt it being such different hardware and of course different manufacturer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoNHommer:
I have a 3G Xoom (umts_everest) without a SIM card (yeah, it's dumb. It's a long story).

I'm currently on Codename Android 1.5.5 (ICS 4.0.3), but I accept suggestions if it can solve my problem.

Has anyone successfully connected to an ad-hoc connection? I'm trying to tether my Samsung Galaxy Spica (old warrior!) via any tethering app available but my Xoom won't see the network. I used to do that using Froyo's regular Hotspot feature, but this is not available on my current ROM on the Spica (the only usable ROM I've found), so I have to use one of these tethering apps.

Doing some research I found that ICS does not support ad-hoc natively, so has anyone released a ROM/patch to work this out? I found some topics for the Adam (none for the Xoom), even tried one of the wpa_supplicant from one, but no luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEXcube:
No need to modify wpa_supplicant binary

I changed data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf instead of wpa_supplicant. I added ap_scan=2, then set the adhoc network to

priority=1

mode=1

then pushed back the modified file. chown ownership back to system.wifi.

I had root access through adb. So root wasn't necessary for me.

Advantage: Safer than modifying system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant binary. Saves you the trouble of compiling modified wpa_supplicant or finding a compiled one for your platform.

Drawback: This is just a temporary solution.You'll have to repeat this process for every new adhoc network as it doesn't enable adhoc forever. It is good for connecting to your home network or other know networks, but if you want to connect to any adhoc network you scan,then this is not your method. Because, wpa_supplicant.conf will be overwritten every time you scan a new network.

I'm playing now dead space on x8. it is quite annoying that when you want to shoot something and then you tap, the target goes somewhat out of focus.

Can someone tell me how to map the firing action in game to the photo key? the photo key is quite soft to press, I think it will do good as a trigger button.

Thanks!:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
Hi,

I briefly scanned through the forum, but I couldn't find any issues about it. I am currently on holiday with limited internet time, so please forgive me when there is already a thread about this topic.

Here is my issues: I store my pictures and my video from my cameras on the prime via SD card. That worked out fine until I applied the. 21 upgrade. Now the SD card hangs randomly while copying files and gives me an error message that the respective file is not available. Same happens when I watch these videos or pics directly from sd card. When I unplug and plug the card it works again for a while.

Happens with thw internal card reader as well as with the one in the dock.

I was so stupid to apply the update during my holiday. It worked fine before.

Any idea what this could be?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mjfitzpa:
Hello, i am actually having the same problem i think. I popped in the sd card from my digital camera into the dock and it will not load any pictures. It shows that they are there, but just says loading when I click to view them in the gallery.

[General Questions and Answers] sjordan71:
First off sorry about being new to the forums and starting this way. I have searched many forums and been reading on this for the last two days. First here is what I started with.

HTC Flyer P512 16GB

HBOOT 1.11.0011

Here is where I am at. Tried down grading from 3.2. OK total fail and I'm not one to ask for help. Right now I have the tablet where it will boot to the bootloader and cwm for recovery. Problem is S-ON. Now that I understand what HTC has done and I can not just root this like I have everything else in the past. I have screwed up my htboot/recover/boot imgs. They are incompatible and I'm not sure how to fix this without getting my hands on another tablet.

I know i can flash the recover and boot images. If I got a set from another tablet of the hboot/recover/boot imgs would I be able to fix this mess? Any help I would make worth your time. I'm thinking of buying another tablet just to figure this mess out.
[HTC Rezound] MustangDan74:
Just like it says, how is this done? My phone is rooted and running CleanRom ICS, if that matters.

I mainly want to do this for the MLB At Bat '12 app. Thanks-Dan
[HTC Rezound] RLKirk:
Settings>Security>Unknown Sources. Check the box

Download your APK

Move APK into SD Card, if its not there already

Open a file explorer, and navigate to the folder where you put the APK

Install and enjoy

Another way if you are fimilar with adb; "adb install <filename>.apk"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Is anybody experiencing audio distortion with google music and 4.0.4?

It happens a lot (3-4 times during a song) and it sounds the same as a scratched CD (it sorta "hangs" on part of a song for a few seconds).

This is not the same as screen off distortion issue that was reported earlier by a lot of people. This one happens both when I am using the phone and when the screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Not happening here. Does it only happen when streaming (not stored music)? And is this on WiFi or 3G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Both wifi and 3g. I doubt it's network related beacause the app shows that the song is fully buffered. Even if I go to the begining of a cached song it still happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psak:
i experienced similar behavior couples times with screen on playing long track/radio podcast/mix(stored internally) running 4.0.2(google music version was 4.1.512 - before updated logo) while gnex was connect to car aux, but i haven't be able to replicate it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Happens sometimes. Doesn't matter whether its local or streaming, but it seems related to the phone locking up or running out of RAM/CPU usage. Something along those lines because whenever it happens (rarely) the entire phone skips or locks up for a second.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
You might be right. It does appear to happen more often when doing heavy multitasking.

It's kinda unusable for me right now because it's happening so lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Already a thread somewhere for this. But I do have the issue as well. As stated it doesn't matter if its streaming or local. Had it happen on cm9 an aokp. Also without heavy multitasking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Thanks for the confirmation guys. It seems like I'm a lot more affected by this issue than the most of you.

Do you mind sharing your rom/kernel/governer/freq settings? maybe we can find a common ground?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Franco m2, it only happens on the interactive gov
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
That's interesting. I'm on lean interactivex. I'll try switching to on demand and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kensim781:
Are your mp3s encoded in the 48khz range? If so it's a bug in the google music player which cause it to 'lag' while it decode the mp3 file, no problems on mp3s in the 44khz range. Dunno about the new ver of google music player haven't try it and don't intend to after i migrate to Poweramp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Interesting. I just checked and I have about 20 48khz songs. I'm not sure if they are the ones that get distorted. I'll keep an eye on those tracks. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gilbot:
This has bugged me for the longest time. *Hopes for a fix*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kensim781:
Just go for Poweramp. It's worth the money and it can play 48khz mp3s silky smooth. Just remember to set the options to 'Highest Thread Priority' and '750ms' buffers. There's a 14 days full features trial version, download it and have a try. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
All of my songs are 44khz.

It hasn't happened on 4.0.4 yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rylake:
For those that are having issues when the screen goes off, the following worked for me.

When a song is playing, go to the top of the screen to the "..." and select sound effects. Turn on the Equalizer to whatever you want and it should work much better for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
we're using google music for its streaming feature, not because we're not capable of using other players
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gilbot:
Exactly.

I'll try the sound effects thing as long as it doesn't interfere with DSP manager

Edit: lol it takes me directly to DSPmanager which is already enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
please keep us updated about whether using dsp manager works or not.

Internet Sharing via connection bridging" NDIS-Ethernet / ethernet to bridged WIFI.

My entire house has internet wifi connection from a bridged router connected via ethernet to a XP computer that has a windows network connection bridge between my Vogue's NDIS USB and computer's network card.

Always had dropped connections every couple of minutes with vista and windows 7 tethering directly. Found NDIS drivers for XP, made an internet bridge and connection now lasts at least a few days to a week!

This comes in handy since my rural location can only connect to internet via dialup or satellite.

Not the fastest, but 1.5mbs is far better than dialup, and we have 2 laptops, iphone, ereader, and android phone all connected to it with wifi.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] nathan1314:
Can you go into a bit more detail and share your setup? Thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] aVgJoE79:
Bro,

Android 10 rooted Essential PH-1

Software: PDANet (Paid) FoxFi Key, and VPN Hotspot.

Windows 11 HP Laptop with one Ethernet Port, 2 USB A gen. 3, and 1 USB C gen 3.1

Same version PDANet installed.

Open PDANet on phone. Tether and Hide Tether Checked. VPN Hotspot Open and ready.

PC PDANet open and ready with connect automatically block Microsoft if you want.

Connect PH-1 to any USB port you want.

PC PDANet should connect. Open control panel networks and adaptors you should see WiFi, Ethernet, PDANet, and Ethernet(NDIS). Disable wifi. Ctrl and click Ethernet and Ethernet(NDIS) and bridge them. Next right click PDANet and properties. Sharing and check allow other connection to use this internet connection. Since your other 2 eth adaptors are bridged and wifi is disabled it automatically assigns 192.168.137.1/24 to bridge (this is ics ip scheme).

Plug your Ethernet physical port into the wan port of any router set to dhcp. The wan port will get an ip from the dhcp server running on the phones tether feature as soon as you go back into VPN Hotspot and move the slider on the NDIS connection in tethering tab to on.

The PC cmd prompt route print will show you it knows nothing of the IP address 192.168.42.129 which is the NDIS USB network. But it does know about 10.1.19.2 and 10.1.19.1 which is the PDANet on your PC and phone respectively.

Is this completely necessary? Probably not but because the wifi or wired clients go through router to bridge on PC to USB NDIS to phone through VPN Hotspot your Cell provider doesn't know its tethering data and the PC doesn't have to route squat or add another NAT in the mix. The PC also will not use this connection for internet it uses PDANet and also hides tethering from your cell provider.

This is a virtual airgap people. If you configure router from the laptop you have to use remote management protocol and IP addressing. And other client wifi to router can use standard 192.168.x.x as in 0.1 or 1.1 etc to manage the router locally.

Overkill is awesome.

ok i have downloaded the I727UCALC4 leaked update for the galaxy s2 skyrocket and i have a few questions i hope someone anyone out there who has tried it can answer.

1. how is the performance? does it slow down the phone?

2. is there a big change in the user interface?

3. can i flash this rom without tripping the flash counter?

4. if this rom is actually from at&t will it void my warranty?

5. do i need to be rooted to flash this rom?

6. if i dont like this update can i go back to the stock rom?

7. if so how would i return to stock rom if i wanted to?

8. does ice cream sandwich live up to all the hype ive heard?

9. any glitches or any problems? anything thats not working or unstable?

sorry for so many questions i just cant find that much info on how it actually works after you install it. right now all the info is about how to install it and not about after... any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated since im having trouble deciding and finding the answers to my questions.... thanks guys....

You should use the search function of the forum. All of the questions you asked have been discussed many times and I find it hard to believe that you looked because many of the questions you asked are stickied or are still on the first page. I'm telling you this because there is a lot of information to cover on your questions (many of them could possibly have several different answers) and the easiest way for you to get all of the information you need is to look at what people have already said and done. There is even a "One Stop Shop ICS" thread that is stickied in the DEV section. Nope, I can't believe you even tried...but good luck and read as much as you can. Short-cuts will only get you a bricked phone.

Start from the top and work your way down. If you have an I727 I would definately only research ICS on the I727 and not any other phone. As you said, they are different. You will also find that there are no 100% answers on a lot of your questions. What works on one phone might act a little different on another. That is why it is better to read and be prepared...just in case.

will the att ics update remove clock work mod from my phone? i just flashed cwm and made a back up of my stock gb rom but want to be able to flash back using cwm if i dont like the leaked update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
If you use the "Odin" version (One click Odin with the ICS leak) you will need to put cwm back on your phone via Odin. If you use cwm to install one of the custom ROMS you will retain cwm. Directions on how to put cwm back on your phone can be found in the "DEV" section. If you use the ODIN method you will need to re-root anyway, I prefer Copperhed's method...again, found in the "DEV" section. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
cwm

well i found a stock rom thats not a odin one click and not from a backup but it is stock. if i put the tar file on my sd can i flash it with cwm and if so will i lose it that way or do i need to find a rom already rooted injected with cwm? sorry for so many questions...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Do not try to flash TAR files through CWM. Only ZIP files (approved for flashing with cwm) can be flashed via CWM. TAR files are for ODIN. I suggest you learn more about the differences before trying anything. There are very direct and clear directions for all of this in the different XDA skyrocket sections (mostly in the "DEV" section). Do yourself a favor and take a week or two to do some reading and learning. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
reasearch

from all the reading i been doing all day from the everything ics forum its best to flash the odin one click first then flash cwm again and install your choice of custom roms [zip files] since im on gingerbread now. something with the modem and radio is giving alot of problems unless you flash the odin one click first. im gonna take your advice and do alot more reading before i decide. i had a captivate before i got the skyrocket and flashed many different versions thru odin on it but have never flashed a rom with cwm before. so odin or heimdall is not new too me just cwm. but now that i found out about cwm and the way it can backup roms ill never be without it again. its kinda like having life insurance it there if i screw up lol.. thanks for helping me and if i run across anything else im not sure about ill ask cause its better to ask than to mess it all up... ill let you know what i decide and how it turns out... thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garydv2002:
Well I made up my mind and flashed the odin one click leaked update of ics. Then used odin to flash clockwork mod and used cwm to then root and make a backup of ics just in case. I restored my apps and data using titanium backup and never lost any data not even on the games I play. Oh and if anyone is wondering this ics update flashing cwm and rooting did not trip the flash counter none of it did. From what I read the flash counter only moves when a custom rom is flashed and this was not a custom rom but a leaked version of stock rom to come. Also flashing cwm does not trip the counter cause you are only flashing a recovery image and not a custom rom and the root didn't cause you are not flashing anything using this method... thanks to all for the help I could not have done this without those who pointed me in the right direction..

Any suggestions on a music player that displays high quality album art in a large size? I've tried quite a few, and so far the image displayed seems poor.

Of course, the images look fine if they are shown as small thumbnails. But a large image sucks.

I've tagged the mp3's with high quality covers, minimum of 500x500. I've verified that the original images look great using QuickPic. And the covers display great on Windows Media Player.

But all the android players I've tried display the covers with poor resolution, pixilation, or blockiness.

So I know, using QuickPic, that stunning visuals are possible. Question is which, if any, music players can do so?

My wife's Epic 4G was working fine yesterday but today it crashed and overheated pretty severely. When it was still plugged in and crashing it showed the battery charging and then it turned yellow and show a yellow warning triangle with a thermometer beside it, is the phone going to stop working on us?

I would appreciate a quick response so I can take it to Sprint and see what they can do about it.

I just factory reset it to insure that it wasn't a rogue application or what not and the phone is still running slow, not as bad as when it was crashing, but it still works so I don't know what's going on with it.

Also the phone is stock and has always been stock without root or any other type of hacking, etc.
