[Motorola Droid RAZR] lovemyram4x4:
Is it closer to 16:9 or 4:3. I haven't even been able to find any specs on the Atrix lapdock anymore.

I'm thinking the that the 100 is basically the same as the Atrix & the smaller screen is possible about the same width but it's shorter due to being a wider aspect ratio. The 500 besides being bigger also has a video out & an Ethernet port with PoE.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
It's 16:9. Screen measures 10.125/5.75

This also has 2 usb ports, the 100 doesn't have any.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
Current review:

I'm currently using the Atrix Lapdock on with my RAZR. So far I'm loving it. Only issue I have come across so far is that the Flash version on Webtop isn't the latest verion, so some flash games on Facebook don't play.

Likes:

Wieght - really light compared to my Dell netbook.

Screen size-A lot larger then my netbook. And it is wide screen, image holding your phone sideways and enlarging the screen to 11.6"

Keyboard/Mouse-Didn't think having a keyboard and mouse would be that important with a phone, but now that I have them it's awesome.

When the screen is closed, the phone treats it like a normal dock, so you can set you phone to different Dock profiles, like Alarm Clock.

Love having the USB ports to add things like camers & drives.

Love the battery-Have had it on since 8:00 CST and it's still got 2 of 5 lights lit. Screen has not turned of since.

Dislike:

Need to figure out how to better mount the phone.

Sometimes it doesn't come up and fill the whole screen, about 1/4" space all the way around.

Wish there were more option for Apps to install, like Open Office (right now using the phone full screen for for this)

Once I get more time with it, I will update my Likes/Disklikes with more. So far really liking it though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gilros:
Using it right now. I'd say it's a nice buy, works fairly well with the RAZR. The cables included are very short, though, which makes it hard to mount the phone right. I modded it to allow direct connection, but it's a bit tricky to get the connections to work properly (my own fault, probably.) The software is also pretty mediocre. I'm using the ICS leak on my RAZR, and instead of an Ubuntu-type OS it's basically tablet Android... except it's still got phone apps (except for a few stock apps and my launcher.) Everything's blown up, which is really irritating. Still works fine, but I feel Motorola needs to work more on this. Or if someone with dev experience were to force apps to use a tablet interface, it would be perfect.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lovemyram4x4:
I decided to go to with the Atrix lapdock, it should be here on Monday. I think this will be the perfect compromise for good screen size while being compact. I really wish it had a web Cam like the 500, I think I might try to add an internal Cam for a laptop if enjoy using the lapdock.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bambihunter:
Helo all,

since two days I now own an Thinkpad Tablet and am happy so far. Only when ein plug it into my PC (Win7 64bit) via USB it is recognized but I still can't transfer files. When I open MyComputer in the Explorer on the PC I ca see the Tablet, click on it but then no files on the tablet show and I also cant transfer any. It then gives me an error: Device was disconnected or istn working properly.

Tried installin ADB Drivers form Lenovo, switching USB debugging off and on, no help.

When I plug it in on the tablet im prompted with the selection of just charging or MTP. If I choose MTP it makes the same Windows sound as if unplugged....

Any Ideas?

thanks

Hey guys please help me am going crazy with my galaxy note this the first tome I use android so I don't know much about anyway I have program called my data manager and it shows me everything that uses my internet so I found is serveses and some other apps like textfree and other apparently like tune on radio use of my internet my os. Services used 100 m in 2 days which I only have 1 GB. PER A month please gimme application to control what apparently can use my 3g network or anything to solve this thank u guys
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3TALLICA:
Try 3g Watchdog,

Well I have not used it for a while but if you are rooted use LBE privacy. It can monitor which app used how much of data. It also has firewall, so you can block sucker apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosdefinesorder:
You do know that Tune In Radio is an internet radio program so any and all activity on that program will use your network data?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matius44:
Well I have a radical solution for you :)

Go to Settings > Accounts & sync and disable background data..However this comes with a sacrifice: Market will not work but you can enable when you want to use Market and disable it again..

But you will have full control on which app to use your data connection because you will have to do it manually, e.g. in Gmail you will have to refresh it by yourself to check new emails..

This has ups and downs, it's up to you :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng.rego:
2 tools will solve ur ur problem completely, droidwall which will block all apps including system appd if uwant to use 3G and only use wifi,and onovo which will monitor all of ur 3G internet activity and even block ur 3G usage when reaching a certain adjusted quota limit..try them they willdo the trick.

[HTC EVO 3D] P.Mobile:
so signed a 2 year contract with sprint 1 year ago.. well may 1, will be 1 year.. i have never paid my bill late.. i pay it early every month. dont kno if that will matter or not but is there any way i can do a early upgrade>??? it says ill get 150$$ off when i do upgrade.. so can i upgrade when the evo lte hits and get 75$ off????? cause i been thinking about seeing if i could upgrade early.. so i can get the new evo lte!!!! if i cant o well im sure there will be dope phone out if i wait also.. :D thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Its possible but as you stated in your post you would have to pay something the question is what dollar amount will that be and would it be worth it
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
It's VERY unlikely they will move your upgrade date up. However, you can upgrade whenever you want. If it's only been a year, you will get 75 dollars off the retail of a phone, with another 2 year contract of course. If you would wait another year, you would get the full 150 dollars off, as well as the new upgrade price, so basically you can get any of the best phones for 199, instead of the retail of 699 or whatever the retail is.

Got the same problem using my Galaxy S2 having just moved to my countries version of ICS (South Africa XFA).

Didn't have any problems using Checkrom.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] WilDCaT_ZA:
Found a solution.

Go to Settings>Network and get into the advanced settings of your mobile (3G) network operator and clear the APN Proxy settings (Not the Wifi but 3G proxy settings).

Worked for me on my SGS2.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cuongcn:
IP of the country you live

I got the same problem. It only happened after I left the US. Thus, I thought that would be the IP address of the ISP we use. I will not talk about this since I am not a professional.

My solution is that I employ VPN to make a connection to my old school in the US and it works.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] MrT81:
i have the same problem with HTC HD2 (ICS+CM9). In my case the problem is related to my router (TP-Link TL-WR1043ND). When i switch it for testing with Linksys WRT54 the problem was gone and all icons in google play where loading. Unfortunately i haven't found i solution yet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] vinz3nt:
Maybe if you go to settings > applications > all and select google play store and empty buffer. Then reboot.

Removing updates can also solve it.

Not working. Even if you uninstall and reinstall "no-icon" app, the icon won't go back. Really weird.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] brockmo:
I'm on WIND in Canada. Have been running with HellFire basically since the beginning. Gingerbread all the way through to 1.7 ICS now. Problem I'm having is voice and text work no problem. But in the top right now it goes to white bars a lot, losing data. I've tried messing with GetRIL, unchecking the saving RIL version option etc etc. No matter what I do I am having a hard time even getting a data connection now. I just installed Owain's ICS ROM and it appears I have the same problem. I'm at a loss for what to do. I heard it may be an issue with anything 4.0.4? Is this correct? It just doesn't seem in the forums like anyone is having as bad of data problems as I am. I rarely, if ever, get a data connection now. Can someone steer me in the right direction as to what I can do??

Thank you for any tips / advice in advance, it's much appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brockmo:
Hmm.. wait.. so far so good with Owain's ROM... also, I have not restored titanium settings yet... maybe it's a setting I constantly carry over from my titanium backup...... Going to try with no restore for a bit... then maybe revert to hellfire with no settings restored.....

edit: nope still having this issue.... is it just me or what?? can anyone confirm they have this issue?? i literally can't even get data on my phone at all right now it seems....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:

If the problem persists I will try this. Thanks a lot. However, I may have figured it out and I feel like such a fish. I just reset APN settings and all seems good. Being a computer tech for work I feel pretty ashamed lol... Somehow my APN settings must have gotten messed, not sure how since I haven't touched them. Maybe changing RILs in GetRIL. Not sure...

THANKS bro!!! That did it for me as well, I was having same issue, ressetting worked like a charm, im guessing your assessment about changing the RIL is spot on :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] viscious:
How do you resest the APN settings? Do you have to manually reenter everything?

No just goto the apn screen and hit the menu button and hit reset defaults.

Pin it to Win it.
[Desire General] paolo-red1:
I am using miui 2.3.7 from months and I notice that in display settings, sensor (filtred/raw) is usually 10 in low light conditions. So if I set for example 50 for level retroillumination, I had the same illumination of the screen in a totally dark room and in twilight light in outside. This is annoying because I want to set lower level for the first situation and higher for the second. A solution can be to use manual settings but if someone have an idea on how resolve the automatic levels I will be glad. Thanks
[HTC Desire S] ginodp:
**Standard Disclaimer applies here: If you screw up your device trying the following steps in this thread, I cant be responsible. But thats old news**

If your phone stays black after a call you can fix it by a couple of ways.

First:

[B]Q[/B]:Where is the proximity sensor?
[B]A[/B]:Top left of the screen in opposite place to led, if you tily screen under the light you should see the sensor reflect back at you.

Install this app and test your proximity sensor to be sure, that it is not broken: Proximity Sensor Finder

Options you need to try first.

The screen protector, yes it might be transparent but the sensor detects it. Using a sensor testing app from the market it suggested the sensor was covered almost all the time.

So the solution was replace the protector with new one but cut an arc at the top just big enough around the sensor at the top left, easy fix now in call screen is more responsive.

With a vacuum cleaner vacuum over the top area of the phone. This must suck all the dust out of there.

<-------------------------------------->

1 of the other option would be an app called Anyunlock which seems to have solved the problem for me. It seems to be able to wake up when the screen turns off after a call. The app allows you to unlock with the volume key and replaces the lock screen with its own screen.

This option works on my Desire S

<-------------------------------------->

If it's broken, you'll see 0.0 cm all the time.

Solution to disable proximity sensor incall is to put this line into build.prop and reboot:

you can edit the build.prop by pulling it first from the device by doing:

adb pull /system/build.prop c:\where\you\want\to\put\it\

open with wordpad and add the following line

gsm.proximity.enable=false

Then

adb remount
adb push c:\where\you\want\to\put\it\build.prop /system/

reboot so that the settings take effect

This option works on my Desire S

Credits

For disabling the proximity sensor in call go to Matri}{

Rest of the credits go to all the people that figured the other stuff out. (to many post on the net so I don't know who made them but thanks)

Thanks to myself for making this tutorial. (It's my first on xda)

If you have any other idea's just pm me or drop a post.

Thanks

Thanks for the guide, it seems that there are quite some people affected by this and I find it much useful. Just a suggestion - IMO more proper place for it will be the General section, so you can request moving it there from the moderators and also adding it to the Index thread (PM ben_pyett)

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
Hey,

I just tried your fix but it didn't work for me. Screen still goes black when receiving a call and only reacts when I plug it in through USB. Could it be because my ROM is ICS?

Also tried removing the screen cover & sucking out the dust on the top.

The Anyunlock app works, but that's not ideal of course.
[HTC Desire S] ginodp:
Yes it could be that it's Rom related. I use Endymion. And matri}{ extracted it from the Rom.

Wich Rom do you use. I can take a look for you tonight when I get home.

The anylock works most off as between solution.
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
Hey,

I tried it on MIUI ICS, Endymion which both failed. Now I'm using the Reaper ROM but it still doesn't work.
[HTC Desire S] ginodp:
It should work on Endymion. I used it and I even checked if it's the same proximity line in de file of update 3.5.

Did you changed it on the phone or with a text editor on the computer?

I tested it on Endymion just 5 min ago and it worked.

Does your screen still stays black after hanging up? If so can you only unlock with USB cable or power cable?
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
Hm, you're right, it does work on Endymion (sorry). I'm having some stability problems with that ROM though...

Do you know how to enable it on MIUI or Reaper (CM based)?
[HTC Desire S] ginodp:
I'm going to check for you tomorrow ok. I'll get back to you.
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
I just discovered that there is a setting in the MIUI dialer to disable the proximity sensor! This also works, sorry for taking up your time.

But maybe a new suggestion for people who don't want to edit the build file ;)? Try MIUI!

if anyone could explain this in noob terms it would be much apprecited

Well, if you install a MIUI-based ROM (check the android development forum here), you can just go to your dialer settings and select the option.

im using vanilla ice v2

Is my only option to go back to a miui/sense rom?
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
I haven't found any other solution than a MIUI ROM (or just fixing the device by HTC).
[HTC Desire S] Aprentice_:
Dude do the following it works 100% for me:

install Android Sensor Box from the market, run it and identify the sensor: click the plant, click on the small file bottom left and read the sensor's name.

Install Hardware disabler from the market: and find the same sensor's name, check the box next to it, exit and reboot.

keep on looking at your phone while rebooting util you get a pop up message asking to agree or not for disabling the hardware and for sure choose yes I agree.

(all this assuming your phone is rooted).
[HTC Desire S] sdyr08:
I too have had some success using the above method, however i found that the hardware disabler app made my phone run terribly SLOW.

Its a Galaxy S i9000.

So far, the only solution I've found is running an Miui ROM .
[HTC Desire S] papaganz:
True, but I think you're not only disableing the proximity sensor when doing that. I've sent my phone to HTC for repairs (eventhough it was rooted with htcdev and then unrooted) and they just fixed it. Now I have a working proximity sensor.

If you still have warranty I would advise to do the same.

SOLVED

Thanks,

I bought new HTC DESIRE C sticked screen protector with no opening for proximity sensor. When making call screen at once turns off and did not respond.

by reading your post I came to know that even though screen protector is transparent it was blocking the proximity sensor due to which screen was turning off immediately.

i checked with the application 'Proximity Sensor Finder' as you mentioned.

Thanks a lot!

make sure that screen protector has a opening for light/proximity sensor.

Sasa (as property name , I just invented one!)

But it doesn't work...I also used hardware Disabler but it didn't work neither even if at the start up I agree with the application asking me if I want to disabled the sensor driver.

I know it's a bit OT but do you have a solution for HD mini?

I cannot use Anyunlocker with 4.0.4 version...

I'm really annoyed to make it shorter I cannot use the phone because at any calls the screen turns off and no way to awake it up!

Hello,

I finally found a thread where we try to find solution for a defective proximity sensor and have real solutions.

I have not tried the solution provided yet, I just had my phone for 2 days (used Nexus 4). The screen may have been replaced and there is possibly an issue with the plastic that came with this new screen. I'd rather prefer a software solution, I don't need this proximity feature.

I have installed KitKat with the google SDK. I suppose I could easily try your method using this SDK, I will have to check if my phone is rooted after I wiped everything.
[HTC Desire S] charos:
Just to add that (I think) the proximity sensor is cm3628 (/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/cm3628) , in case someone wants to try Hardware Disabler.

[HTC Desire S] mirhl:
Attaching here Hardware Disabler since it doesn't seem to be found anywhere

Also, please notice that for as much as gsm.proximity.enable might also work, this looks more of a HTC thing inside their phone app than anything "standard" (there's no trace of it in AOSP's telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony/TelephonyProperties.java)

So be wary perhaps, if trying some custom rom.
