Hello to all good guys out here...

This might probably be a joker thread.

I recently found out about the hardware checking tool on galaxy note by entering *#0*# in the phone dialer. And I went to the sensor tests and saw the Altitude and barometer pressure readings. I really wanted to see if the barometer was really senstitive and guess what I did. I put my lips around the opening of the microUSB port and sealed it shut. And with a deep breath, I started blowing into the microUSB hole.

The barometer pressure reading went up by a value of 4 hPA!!! (from 980hPa to 984 hPa). As I blew slowly, the increase was proportional to how hard I blew. The moment I stoppped blowing, the barometer reading dropped back to the original value in a split second.

Now, I know about the concept of altitude and pressure relationship. The higher up you are from the ground, the pressure will gonna be low. And this was right as the increase in 4hPa pressure corresponded to a drop of 30meters in the altitude reading.

After all the fun that I had, I suddenly grew pale as to think about whether I had actually damaged the small barometric device inside(probably the transducer type like in galaxy nexus?) Could blowing air into the microUSB and increasing pressure damage the apparatus? Anyone with circuitry/hardware knowlegde please help!!!THANKS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RudiRulez:
you said 'The moment I stoppped blowing, the barometer reading dropped back to the original value in a split second', so i'd imagine its still working just fine.

I certainly don't recommend doing it again though!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GPSSerbia:
Another reason why to avoid such experiments: moisture from your mouth goes directly onto sensitive electronics.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamou1nr:
Yes you can seriously mess things up. Look up "random car mode"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxynoter:
thanks for the info... My Note is still working fine.. Blowing air from the lungs into the micro USB certainly might make the internal circuitry moist, but for the experiment's sake, it was only for a while. I certainly won't do it again. And do you think the barosensor inside will be damaged in anyway by blowing air into it and increasing pressure by 4 hPa (= 3mm Hg)??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] squicky:
This thread should be called The Galaxy Note Blowjob Experiment :D But really it's nice to have such curious people. You never know what you can find...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
A barometer cannot detect altitude. period. it detects differences in air pressure.

To use a barometer as an indicator of altitude it needs to be calibrated to the specific altitude of where you start, when you start. Then altitude readings would only be reasonably accurate for a short time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaapschaap:
Bicurious ;) Or phonecurious...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
maybe just get one of the few barometer apps from the market, let it run for few hours and check for any abnormalities in readings (one or two could draw charts of pressure over time) or compare with a real barometer should you have one

and in the future you should definitely try to abstain from engaging into any deviant acts with your device no matter how much you love it (her?) ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxynoter:
Pun/jokes aside, anyone who thinks that the damage could be nil? The galaxy note could still detect changes in air pressure when driving up/down the hill, getting from the top floor to bottom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Developers can still use the barometer in apps for navigating the boats, i guess
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] honf:
It can be used to detect altitude from one to a few hundred meters, which is more than enough to assist in the initial GPS lock ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxynoter:
any people who can respond to the original post?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
no, it absolutely can not.. you are mistaking barometric pressure for altitude and they are two separate things.. a barometer would need hourly calibration, with a knownd altitude prior to be any sort of use as an altimeter.

furthermore, if you are infering that a GPS lock takes a barometric pressure as an input for its calculations then you are far far from understanding either GPS or a Barometer.

I would suspect you will be ok... the phone will normally receive high humidity from the breath of a speaking person.... and dont forget, you can use it in areas of very high humidity or in the rain..

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

it has no use when navigating a boat.. if the boat is anything other than sea level the boat would be in deep doo-doo and the captain would know :D)..

It could conceivably be used in maritime environments as a barometer for weather prediction, however most vessels are already equipped with a barometer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lamou1nr:
Something for you to read. I found this in an old article.

GPS receivers sometimes integrate a barometer, in order to get more accurate altitude readings. The error margin for the Z-axis with GPS is quite high, but combined with atmospheric pressure readings from a barometer, the accuracy can be increased dramatically. With the inclusion of an accelerometer, barometer, compass and GPS sensors, the Galaxy Note suddenly has an incredibly accurate way to pinpoint your exact position, velocity and orientation.

Edit: I know the barometer doesn't directly measure altitude but it does assist the process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
The barometer is very important. How is Home Land Security to know what floor window to hover the drone at?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxynoter:
Thanks mystiq for your advice!! glad for your time here answering the questions. Also thanks to others who are really good posters 'for the sake of posting' esp. those who replied in a 'REALLY helpful' way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
Great thread. But is there an app which measures it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
Your barometer is fine, 4 Hpa is around 40 meters (120ft) height, so blowing in your phone made it go down in an underground tunnel 120ft down... which is nothing the barometer can't stand.

Sleep well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kosmocos:
There are several apps on Google Play, Barometer Pro is one of the best.

[HTC One X] power_8383:
Same here. :(

I am using Vodafone India 3G SIM card in my HTC One V.

I have tried all these things, but still no luck :-

1) Clearing the play store data and cache.

2) Deleting all the APNs and setting them again.

3) Re-installing the play store app.

4) Changing my google account in play store app.

5) Using GSM instead of WCDMA.
[HTC One X] vitaminme:
Same here. Its Vodafone problem. I tried complaining but those idiots told me to delete setting try again.

I don't have no more patience to argue with them. When I use wifi things are ok. When I switch to 3g images won't load.

[HTC Amaze 4G] RZJZA80:
Anyone seeing apps randomly uninstalling? I've noticed it in the past few weeks since I did a reset. The shortcut icon will just be the green Android one, and it says the app has been uninstalled.

[HTC Amaze 4G] DeadWestern Shogun:
Mine did it to, but only when I had an excessive amount of apps installed
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
The same happened to my six or seven apps. All of them were installed inside the phone itself and never moved to the ext_sd_card.

However I noticed, this has been happening to the apps what were installed manually from .apk, in other words not through the Android Market..

Again for the past five days what I am running pretty much debloated ICS - nothing like this happens to my operational environment...

No, it dosn't work on all devices and its not a SIM unlock. If you want to SIM unlock your phone you should contact the carrier where you bought it.

So Ive installed Darkside Evolution on my phone after a complete clean wipe. I can no longer install the apps that I have paid for through the market. I paid for Root explorer and Nova laucher prime.

Have the google wallet to prove it.

So I am wondering why the market does not see my purchases on this build. I saw that there was a fix but I can not download root explorer to fix said problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shankar10:
clear market cashe/ data in the settings, that might help if not do a clean wipe and re-intall the rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
Ill clear cache but I just re-installed the rom after using the super wipe.

Cleared cache and everything I paided for shows up. Thank God I support android app developers!

Such a concern that I wanted to make a formation Arcohs 101 G9 Tablet PC. I went to the Archos A101S Recovery Menu by holding down the volume + button and switch the power on button. Its a stupid mistake I selected from the Format System-> Device Reformat. Of course I did not know that before the computer to connect and integrate the Archos firmware file to the root folder. Android is removed?, at least it does not Boot up your computer as well, and does not connect, what to do?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
1. On the PC download firmware from Archos website (.aos file)

2. Boot to Recovery, choose Update Firmware

3. Connect USB cable

4. Copy downloaded .aos file to the removaqble drive that pops up (it's archos ramdisk)

5. Click OK (power button) on the tablet to start flashing, do not unplug USB cable

6. Reboot and enjoy

4) After you choose BP Tools you'll see "CustomerID Error" again, wait about 5 - 10 second to system boot up
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
those answer are right, but what they don't say, is that this error won't disapear anymore. You have to do that for boot everytime.

The only way to get back as usual, is to downgrade to GB then restore your backup of mmcblk1p18.

BUT BE WARE, downgrading to GB is still UNSAFE AND YOU RISK TO BRICK SO DON'T DO, once you flashed ICS you better now wait on it.

If you need a task manager and switcher like Windows OS i recommend you "Perfect Task Switcher".

It is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5yYWJvbGQuYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrc3dpdGNoZXIiXQ..

It has got ICS 4.0 Stock Task manager ui design. And it's not recently app list. It's a real task switcher and killer.

Trust me, i searched for a task killer and switcher for a long time and now it is my favourite app.

I rooted my first Evo and had no problems until I had a screen issue. I re-rooted it and returned it for a replacement. They gave me a refurb, which they swore they didn't, but it was obvious that the phone had been used before. Didn't root because it had issues with the screen again. I now have a new one again and have tried rooting using Revolutionary.io and the tutorial like I did the first time. It's giving me an hboot version of 6.16 with s-off (I started with hboot 2.16) but it's still not rooted. I have the clockwork mod installed and can run a full backup but ROM Manager nor Titanium backup can attain root. What did I do wrong? What do I do next? I've been searching all over and can't quite figure out what went wrong. Thanks in advance.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery and flash this http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

It's the super user app and binaries. Which is what grants root access.

Edited with correct link.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
With the phone booted up, go into the superuser app and force it to check for updates. You should be on 3.0.3.2 if not have a look here and download the binaries! Then try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toothlesrooster:
I checked before I got started and it said that SU was v3.0.6 (40). When I tried to have SU update itself, it said it was a legacy version, couldn't find Busybox and failed to give root. When I tried to flash the .zip file you linked to it said every thing went fine but it's still at v3.0.6 (40). I'm kind of confused. Still no root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
The superuser app and su binaries are two different things. So you most likely are up to date. It also sounds like you need busy box. Look up busy box installer on market.

You will also likely have to refresh the two apps, simply clear their data, after you have busy box. Then restart them and allow root access.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toothlesrooster:
I have the busybox installer in my app tray but when I run it to install busybox it says I don't have root and can't install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
You need to wipe data on all of your apps that require root. And refresh all of them. Also look into your superuser app and check if any settings are denying root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toothlesrooster:
Well, SU has nothing in it. Nothing in the logs or apps list, I open it and it's empty. I went in to the applications menu setting, selected each app that would need root and cleared their data. Only one app had any data, that was ROM Manager, I think. I even booted into recovery and had it fix permissions. Still the same thing. ROM manager can't fix permissions (no root), SU has nothing in any lists, TI Backup won't run because of no root and BusyBox won't install because of no root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toothlesrooster:
This is also weird. You guys AND the SU Update built into the program are saying that I should be running SU version 3.0.3.2, but I'm running version 3.0.6 (40) and that it's legacy. When I try to run an update from the SU in my programs tray it does this.

Downloading manifest... okay!

Parsing manifest... okay!

Latest version = 3.0.3.2

Checking installed version = legacy (in red)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
Are you using a custom ROM?

You have the custom hboot, so revolutionary worked... You can access recovery and use the commands, so you have to have root, it's just something in the ROM...

Tell me what ROM version you are on, in settings > about phone > software

Did you get the "efghi" version or the "d?" sounds like you flashed the donut version....

Again su binaries: 3.0.3.2 and Superuser: 3.0.6 are two different things the binaries are the actual code to allow "switch user" access and Superuser is the app that controls the permisions.

Your version should not be "legacy" it should be 3.0.3.2 efghi
