[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dr.psg:
yes..there are a few wooden cases

There are a few manufacturers making cellphone case's from wood (not the plastic ones with wooden skins on them). Most of them are for apple products. I have found a few for samsung epic 4g touch also. A few are real wood some are wood look alikes.

I haven't tried / tested them, so i am not vouching for anyone. If anyone has used wooden cases please quote your experience.

Actually I saw a bamboo case for my sgs2. I also like the feel of wood in my hand LOL

I'm trying to set up a profile for setcpu. What would be a good limit for heat on the g2x before it overheats?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I say anything above 110°-115° I live in phoenix az that's under stating for most places though lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 95Z28:
Honestly 110 is kind of low. When I had a g2x (during winter) I never saw over 108, but my other phone has been as high as 127 while playing a CPU intense game plugged in in the middle of summer. Shoot, I know all that's measured on a phone is battery temp, but on a laptop 140 processor temp is perfectly acceptable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
My profile is set for 45 degrees C which I do hit on occasion but I am a little paranoid about battery damage so I keep it low.

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I try to as well 127° is intense!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
Tegra does not thermal throttle itself until about 70°C IIRC

now, letting it get that high on a regular basis is not the best thing for the cpu or the battery.

If your gonna set a profile, I'd recommend 60°C

my phone used to hit that every day when i was doing some hardcore multitasking.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
That's crazy, I would never let my phone get that hot, the stock battery is only rated for 45c but again I am paranoid we are using LG hardware afterall :P

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
So you are saying 140°, I had to Google it lol, that's what you recommend is safe lol. I know you know what you're talking about you're one of the most detailed informative persons on the site lol, but damn that sounds crazy!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
That is nowhere near a "safe temperature "

That is a omg my phone is 1337 haxxor pwning multitask your mom and my mom fast. Running any electronics at or close to their maximum heat/mv limits for prolonged periods of time will cause your phone to live fast and die young ;)

Side note: My 3500mah and 1900mah batteries maximum temp is 50°c and when using them I adjust my setcpu profile accordingly although they tend to run cooler anyways...

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Agreed, that just sounds like asking for all the cheap glue and poor solder job to fall apart. I wouldn't get that close if I notice my battery is any where near 120° I take the battery out and let it cool down...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
When I first got my g2x I went through 2 lemons with bad hardware before the one I use now.

Even being counter active and setting your temp limit a little lower and then setting the profile Max CPU frequency a little higher may be a good idea you get a audible warning when you hit your temp limit (in setcpu) so might as well take advantage :)

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deleted member 2747343:
Its funny how when i had the G2X, everytime i put it to charge it would get burning hot, now that i got a iPhone 4 it has no heating problems at all :) Okay let the Apple suxxx comments begin but we all know the iPhone is a better phone overall
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Lmfao

Hows flash working on your iPhone?

Be a leader not a follower.

P.s. there is *ONE* option you can check to stop your phone from overheating on the charger.

Glad your happy with your iPhone cause obviously you aren't competent enough to search for solutions to your problems so enjoy the dictatorship that is Apple and your "Problem free" phone lol

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
That's cpu temp, allot of that dissipates by the time it gets to the battery. Yeah, running hot causes the life of electronics to shorten, but I'm not keeping this phone for more than 2 years at most, and batteries are cheap :)

Like i said, tegra is alright till 70, i get nervous around 60-65 your battery temps should not be any higher than about 50-60 (but that's just a guess)

I'd your setting up an emergency overheating profile I'd still recommend 60° but if you're hitting that too much you might want to tone down the oc in general :)

Don't worry about the solder tho, that won't melt till around 100° or higher :D

Note: all temps in °C
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BiafraRepublic:
While Tegra is alright up to 70°C, I get skittish when I am required at some places to leave my cell phone in the car, which (in Houston) can get up to 60-65°C inside when parked in full sun. I personally recommend keeping it below 50°C as much as possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
treat your phone like a child, please dont leave it locked in glove boxes or cars in the sun... or on a table in direct sunlight. (the sun is hot!) :D

i'd turn it off if you need to do that...

[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
Instead of making roms with all kinds of tweaks how about making an ICS Rom for tmous sensation 4g with everything working? Truthfully all I want in a Rom is an overclock kernel fm radio a browser that I can actually search with and most importantly tmo WiFi calling to work. All that other stuff (i don't know what it is) I could care less about. I just want the previously mentioned features to work and that's it. Sense overlay is nice but not even a requirement. I hear all kinds off sh*t talking about HTC devs that take forever to get their software out but at least when it comes out it seems to work. Instead of these roms that are kicked out to us everyday with a list of important features that just don't work. What is the point? Right now I'm waiting for an official ics update to come out and I'm just sticking to that. Rooted overclocked and thats about it. I have tried many of these custom roms and they all have some stupid problem which should not be happening. What's the point if no features work and the phone reboots all the time? For all this I could have stuck with any off the rack garbage bullish*t android phone. I get the same garbage performance. I mean most of the time people buy a phone because of certain features. But I don't think I'm asking for too much to have a proper stock browser WiFi calling and little or no random reboots. Basically, what's the problem here?
[HTC Sensation] jab74101:
If you want it so bad and apparently you think it's a piece of cake, why don't you go make it yourself if you're that impatient.
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
Never once did I imply that I thought it was easy nor did I say I wanted anything so badly, except for working features. In fact I said I would wait for an official update. I don't understand where that reply came from. As far as making a Rom myself I would love to but to ask a question on this website is like pulling teeth so...
[HTC Sensation] greeky510:
OP, don't forget that developers need to release a somewhat working ROM in order for people to test and find things that might be wrong with it. Also you can't really blame them if they get excited and want to release as soon as they got something.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Ha! Wow, that's a pretty disrespectful rant...

You do realize that developers on xda and other sites are not employees, right? Nobody here is getting a salary, and projects that are released are done so for the benefit of the community. HTC has recently made it somewhat easier with OTA, RUU, and ICS kernel sources... yet, many projects are based on reverse engineering a ROM instead of working from the ground up with AOSP source. If something was compiled solely from AOSP then you'd have a pretty lack-luster ROM without any of the fancy functionality I'm sure you're looking for.

Now, add to all of this the fact that google REALLY changed things up with ICS and it's understandable that hiccups are going to occur!

Relax, crack a beer, wait for your OTA, and don't expect others to put work/family/school/etc... aside so that YOU can have wi-fi calling on a custom ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
All I want is a browser and WiFi calling.

[HTC Sensation] jrd3030:
I've recently rooted my HTC Sensation and flashed ARHD 6.6.2 w/ Beats Audio. Everything has been great so far. There is a wealth of knowledge on the these forums and until know I've always found solutions to my seldom issues. I've search quite a bit and many time zone issues have been attributed to proximity of TZ boarders or daylight savings time. I don't think this is my issue.

I live in St. John's, Newfoundland (GMT-02:30 - yes half hour TZ:p) and ever since I flashed to ARHD (started with 6.6.1, now using 6.6.2) my time zone automatically switches to Atlantic Canada (GMT -03:00). I've tried all three kernels (Faux, Sebastian, Stock), firmware is up to date, radio is up to date. My girlfriend and I are both on Bell and she is not rooted and does not have this issue. I can only presume the issue lies in the rom I flashed.

The quick fix is simply until "Automatic Time Zone" and select Newfoundland TZ. However, I travel frequently and would like to keep the automatic TZ function.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I try some other ROMs? ARHD seems to be the most popular.

I would post this in the AHRD Dev forum but I am restricted since I am a NOOOOB. :)
[HTC Sensation] jrd3030:
Update:

I think I've narrowed down the problem to Google's Location Service (GLS). When I disable this function and allow Automatic Time Zone (network-provided), the correct time zone is found. As soon as I re-enable GLS, it switches back to Canada Atlantic TZ within seconds.

Is it possible that GLS is overriding the network-provided time zone? If that's the case, what is GLS's source for time zone information. Is it possible that NDT/NST don't exist in their system? Maybe something is outdated?

Any suggestions? I've tried rebooting, removing the battery, re-flashing, and various kernels, to no avail.
[HTC Sensation] Nogarth:
i had the same issue but it seemed to correct itself after the reboot.
[HTC Sensation] jrd3030:
Thanks Nogarth. Although, I've tried several reboots without any luck.

I may have isolated the problem to the Android Weather Provider. I've froze all the apps with "weather" in the file names using Titanium Backup. This fixed the time zone issue right away (GLS is enabled and Automatic Network-provided Time Zone is enabled). Of course now I don't have any weather services but I can live with that.

One-by-one I defrosted each app and waited to see if the clock switched back to the wrong time zone. Sure enough the Android Weather Provider 1.02212172250.288296 is the culprit.

How is this overriding the Network-provided Time Zone???

5. Run the following commands from your platform-tools directory.

Code:

> adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp

> adb shell

$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF

I am able to do "adb push fre3vo", "adb shell", and "chmod 777" without a directory. I tried adding my directory "C:\android-sdk_r16-windows\platform-tools" but it doesn't work, what do I do for "C:\android-sdk_r16-windows\platform-tools/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF"?

Edit: I just probably forgot how to add my directory correctly, could someone show me how? And how to use commands with it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337m45732:
You would type in the command window "cd c:/(your directory)". Then whatever you type after that will take pplace in the directory you entered.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKTone:
Thanks, but it only works for the first command, but doesn't work for the last 2, I even deleted the fre3vo file from the platform-tools folder and put in the folder fre3vo in it instead, and they still do not work.

How do I add fre3vo to my directory correctly? Should the file or folder of fre3vo be in the platform-tools folder?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
The fre3vo command is run on the phone via shell.

When you enter adb shell, it opens a prompt with $, this is the terminal for the phone itself. All you need to do it type in those commands.

Think of "adb shell" as "Start > Run > 'cmd' > enter" on Windows.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

I'm going to double post and give a run-down of what you are doing here as it sounds like you're confused.

"adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" - You're moving the fre3vo files from c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools to /data/local/tmp/fre3vo on the phone

"adb shell" - You are opening the phone's command line interface through adb (similar to what I said in my previous post).

"chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" - You are setting the read write permissions through the phones terminal for the file on the phone itself

"/data/local/tmp/fre3vo (insert extra commands)" - You are executing the fre3vo file with particular switches attached to the command.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKTone:
after "chmod 777" I get:

"Usage: chmod <MODE> <FILE>

After "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" I get "-debug: permission denied" at the end.

Edit: rebooting phone and cmd, and about to try the other 5 -debug commands

Edit: This last time I just put in the commands without the directories, which seems to be the only way to get chmod 777 to work... You are correct I am confused, I would like to know what exactly to put into my cmd. Also forgot to put the file fre3vo back into platform-tools...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
You have to specify the file you are changing permissions on. In this case it would be:

chmod 777 /data/local/temp/fre3vo

Essentially you are tell the phone: "Hey, that fre3vo file at /data/local/tmp location needs to have read/write access set to 777"
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKTone:
How?

Also "chmod 777' only works without a directory for me "adb push fre3vo" works without, and with both "cd /data/local/tmp" and "cd C:\android-sdk_r16-windows\platform-tools"

I'm sorry if it seems I a being difficult, I really can't figure this out.

Edit: also it's the "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" command that gives me a permission denied, not "chmod 777""

Edit: Reread your other post, I tried "chmod 777 cd /data/local/temp/fre3vo" but it tells me there is no such file or directory.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Ok, i think i understand the problem.

You think that the $ prompt is still the windows prompt, it isn't.

When you are at the command line in windows at the location "c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools" and type in the command "adb shell" you leave the windows command line and enter the Linux/Android command line for the phone. At that point you are entering linux commands, not windows, and they are executing on the phone (you're just viewing it on the PC). Linux commands don't need you to specify folder location like platform-tools.

So when I say

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

It means "hey linux/android on the phone, take the Fre3vo file (/fre3vo) at location /data/local/tmp (on the phone) and give it permissions (chmod is the command giving permissions) equal to 777 (read/write/execute)"

chmod = the command to change permissions

777 = the permissions of read/write/execute

/data/local/tmp = the location of the file on the phone (it was moved there by adb push /data/local/tmp/fre3vo)

/fre3vo = the particular file you want to change the permission.

Make sense? :)

Ok I saw your post about file not found. Exit out of the windows command line and move the fre3vo file back to c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools like you had earlier. Start back over with the adb push command.

adb push c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools\fre3vo /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

adb = android debugger

push = move the file (from) location (to) location

c:\blahblahblah\platform-tools\fre3vo = location and actual file on the PC

/data/local/tmp/fre3vo = location on the phone you want the file moved to

When it moves successfully you should see something to the effect:

Fre3vo (275Kb/s)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKTone:
Yes and no. So after the adb shell I am still supposed to be entering the commands on the cmd correct? Without any directories then? So just "$ chmod 777" but what about the "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" there are 5 others I haven't tried yet?

Also trying to add the directory "/data/local/tmp" or "cd /data/local/tmp" makes it fail everytime.

Also I am on the homescreen/standby, should I be somewhere else on the phone, like bootloader or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
I don't think it matters where you are at on the phone.

Yes you would just enter commands like "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo" ($ is something that does not need to be entered).

I'm going to be away from the computer for about an hour. You may want to hop on IRC (do a search for it in these forums) and see if anyone there can walk you through it, otherwise ill be back later.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKTone:
Alright cool, thanks man, sorry if I gave you a headache lol.

And yeah I know, I was just adding that so you know I wasn't doing it before adb shell

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff137/UKTone/g24.png

1. I tried without the cd, it doesn't seem to work without it...

2. fre3vo, should the file or the entire folder be in the platform-tools folder?

3. When you told me to do the irc thing, I downloaded mIRC, but while installing it said I didn't have permission to install, so I had to close and right click and run as administrator. This could be a possible problem? And any idea how to fix it?

Edit: By #3 I am thinking maybe this same permission problem is causing "-debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF" to give me a permission denied response.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Honestly its been so long since I've done this I don't remember if it is file or folder. Let me review it all and let you know.

Additionally, here are some screenshots of the commands (ignore the prompts beforehand as my setup is probably a bit different than yours, only the commands matter).

By the way, what guide are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKTone:

Btw I can't see the screen shots.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
My guess would be the files, not folders. You need to execute fre3vo, so it would be a file.

I've never done a downgrade, so someone else might be able to chime in with some experience.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l337m45732:
I think you should restar. Push the files to the phone again. Then start adb shell. Then run chmod 777. And try running fre3vo again.

You need to have a good knowledge in wordpress :)

Also, if ur a teenage website designer then strongly encourage u to contact me.

If ur interested PM me, i would prefer if this was a free, non paid affair but i may be willing to negotiate.

From what I've seen (I've only played with it very slightly), Wordpress is meant to be quite easy to use and learn, for non-developers. Have you thought about just doing some online tutorials to see if you could do it yourself?
[Off-topic] adamski123:
Yeah i have. I know basic html, but nothing on the scale needed for the site.

Wordpress is all modular though - you don't need to code anything. There's also alternatives like Joomla and Drupal, again built for non-developers.
[Off-topic] adamski123:
What does modular mean? :L
[Off-topic] Archer:
Basically, you have a core site template where you set up what pages you have and things like that. You then add plugins (modules) by importing them using an interface.

There's a list of some of the wordpress plugins here...
