If you still have buttons on your phone you can remap them to be the camera key.

Rather than having a specific camera key (after all, not everyone uses the camera) it would be more useful to have one or two wakeup keys, for which the user can target whichever apps he wants.

[General Questions and Answers] alpha-niner64:
I use to like using the hardware camera button on my G2, but for some reason when I do use it the picture comes out blurry due to the force needed to depress the button. I found it much easier to use the touch screen to take the picture. But that's probably user error? I'm hopeful.....

[General Questions and Answers] Avan50:
I wouldn't mind a hardware key. It makes it a lot easier to open the camera quickly from any app which is good if you only have a few seconds to capture a shot.
[General Questions and Answers] opst2:
imho

in my opinion when the screen gets bigger and the phone has less hardware buttons, like the new one x it is more than useful to have a f'king camera button.

thats the thing i really like on the windows phone 7 phones and missing on the android side.

[General Questions and Answers] jarazmek:
I disagree with your thoughts on the button going away. I find the physical button is still used in a few different devices I.E. Apple, HTC, Samsung, and even others like nokia and LG and Pantech. The issue is that there is no method to the madness. It seems they throw in a button whenever they feel frogy. The iphone is a perfect example. Since the 2G iPhone I was hacking the os to use the volume up as a camera button, then a jailbreak came out with a mod... only once the iphone 4s came out did the os come with that feature standard. It's funny apple claims to have the best out there but all of there updates contained things that were taken from the modders and hackers. Sorry off base, Point is that I really think the button is not dead but that the manufactures think they know what we all want. I hate the on screen button on my note but due to lack of buttons I only can see using the volume once again.... But the new nokia 900 lumia has a detacated button. Go figure

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksobr:
Hello all,

So I've read all threads I could, I googled everything I could, but still no deal. When I try to downgrade to DREAIMG.nbh I get Model ID Incorrect!

And when I try to flash recovery directly, I get:

$ sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4602 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.729s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 3.111s

My question is: is there a way to downgrade with fastboot? What if I try fastboot update DREAIMG.nbh?

I had it rooted already, but the speaker broke, took it somewhere to be fixed, but they ended up changing "all the insides". I don't remember it was this difficult to root it the last time, but it was a couple of years ago. This is the current phone booting in fastboot:

DREAM PVT 32B Ship S-on
HBoot-1.38.0000 (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.16.19
Feb 28 2009, 18:40:30

And this is the about phone:

Build number
1.58.901.3 PLAT-1.0_gms-141395 CL#15959 release-keys

Firmware version:
1.1
Baseband version:
62.41s.20. 13u_2.22.16.19

Kernel version:

Herbert2and18-2 #11

Build number:
1.58.901.3 plat-1.0_gms-141395 CL#15959 release-keys

What else can I try? I'm comfortable with fastboot and would prefer to do everything in there. Do I really need to downgrade to install a new recovery? Is there another recovery I could try with this model?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Its not hard, and if your speaker broke they didn't need to change anything but the speaker. It looks like they gave you either a new phone or changed out the motherboard. Is this a rogers g1 by chance? Or who is it branded to on the splash screen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksobr:
It's an Italian TIM branded. It was TIM branded on the splashscreen before and so is this "new" version. Yeah, it should be just replace the speakers, but it took them a lifetime, it came not working and they had to fix it again. So they seem to have changed the motherboard. That was in Italy. :P

One thing I don't understand. If I do

fastboot boot recovery.img

it loads up the recovery. But I can't do

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and it gives me that signature failure. Why?

BTW, I also tried the goldcard thing without success...

Anything else I could try?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well you have s-on right, I don't believe you can flash anything in fastbbot. Hboot should load and flash the .nbh files, a signature fail probably means you have a bad copy. Check the md5 sums or download and flash another one. Maybe even try orange.nbh
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
The S-On is your weakness in this, try to search in the threads to solve this, and try matching your Radio/HBOOT with Orange/Rogers dream, and I think you still have the standard Radio/HBOOT.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksobr:
So I suppose I can't go wrong with the .nbh file, right?

I can try the orange one, or the rc29, and if it's the wrong version it will simply fail, without bricking the device?

(The G1 is old, but I still love this keyboard).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksobr:
Ok, done!

The trick was to get a recovery installed. I had to use that flashrec app. Once that was done everything else was easy. I can't paste links yet, so here's some quick notes for any future visitors:

get Flashrec.apk. search the forums or google

get latest amon_ra recovery

Put them both on the sd card. Run the app on the phone (from some file browser app). Put /sdcard/amon_ra_recovery_filename_whatever.img instead of the webaddress it may have as default. Flash.

Once the custom recovery is in place you can proceed with DangerSPL on the wiki as normal, as with newer radios and SPL's.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
Yeah, you're right. Another option is to flash it from Terminal Emulator - It's just like Command Prompt, but for your phone. Nice work finding it out for yourself!

Haven't ran CM9 yet but a few things to check for is how many account you have autosyncing (check in settings), wake locks also happen when you have screen lock sounds/audible touch etc...(DL BetterBatteryStats to check wake locks). Also ICS goes wonky when your wifi router's name has a space in it(drop in and out), I had this problem with my GNex and now I get a day out of a charge easy.

Anyone know why Google Drive "Document List" displays different documents on the GNex than on the PC? I have both lists sorted the same, "Last Modified".

On my PC, it shows every doc as it should be, in chronological order, everything's there.

On my GNex, the list is quite different, and it is actually missing docs.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
mines listing things just fine. Maybe try disconnecting/reconnecting the Drive app from your account?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
I'll try that now.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Swing-and-a-miss.

Reinstall did nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's weird. So when you view the files on your computer, or on the website they're all synced, but not on the phone? Even when you force sync?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Yep - on my PC, my Google docs are 100% present, and in the right order - as they've always been for years when it was "Google Docs".

On my GNex, I get a list of docs in a different sort order, with key documents missing from the list. (Sort order is set the same on PC and GNex).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Google drive sorts the documents according to the last date you modified the documents in Google Drive. Regardless of the modified date from the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Could be, but it doesn't seem to affect my problem.

I have an important doc to which I need ready access. The last time it was edited, it was done in Google Drive - yesterday. The doc (and others) never display on the GNex - regardless of how I sort them. Also, there are no sharing settings for these docs, so that's not it either.

Ideas welcomed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
I would....

1. Check your sync settings in Accounts on your phone maybe something is screwy.

2. Uninstall/Reinstall the Google Drive App. See what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Thanks!

I checked sync settings. All is fine there.

I uninstalled and reinstalled yesterday. Did nothing.

I've posted on the GDrive support forum - haven't heard from anyone there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Here's a twist...

If I go the the doc on my PC in GDrive that I can't find on my GNex, and give it a "Star", then I can see it under "Starred" on the GNex. Nice.

Take the star off the doc, and it disappears from the GNex - nowhere to be found.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sazavar:
After the OTA update to ICS on my 3.2.1 Gen 2, U.S. a500 (unrooted and unaltered at the time), my accelerometer seemed to stop working. (The curious thing about this is that the accelerometer will work only if i reset with a paperclip).

Factory Resets don't seem to do anything.

I want to go back to 3.2.1 HC, and then reinstall the ICS update, how do I do this? I am currently rooted on ICS via blackthunder.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Couple options;

1. check out some of the custom Roms which may have stable working accelerometer.

2. Use blackthund3rs apxflash tool in my sig 2 go back, I not done it but I'm sure if u asked on the thread sum 1 will help out.

Our builds hc 7.014.15 have not recd an ota yet, which may bode well for thinking that Acer may be working on a patch to fix the issues in the first release. All conjecture of course:)

he uses timmydeans v4 zip to roll back...it was for the ICS Leak version but dont see any reason why it wont work on stock -

please someone correct me if i'm wrong about this.......

things you need for this to work:

timmydeans v4 zip its about 400mb (the mirrors can be slow and erratic, if you want it i can pm you a better link)

Acer Drivers from Acer Support Download Page

a pc running win7/vista ideally, xp is a bit flaky

dot net framework 4 installed on yr pc

terminal emulator from the market

Your cpuid which you can try getting now - the downgrade wont work without it

open terminal emulator app

and type in dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt

open the text file and look for androidboot.serialno=

this is your cpuid - write it down and keep it safe!!!!

you also need to enter download or apx mode manually via button combo, this can be tricky and can become

extremely frustrating!!! It involves pressing and holding in the reset and power buttons in just the right way

....but full instructions are given.

thats pretty much it, most of the process is done via your pc -

the cpuid and getting it into download mode are the most difficult part

there are on screen instructions all the way through to help you

i've attached an image of a "cannot detect your iconia screen" which you

need to get to first before you can enter download mode....some people have had real trouble getting this to come up -

but only because they're weren't following the instructions to the letter....

oh and it will WIPE YOUR DATA so backup what you don't want to lose......

You will end up with a Stock Rooted 3.2.1 gen2 with CWM

whatever way you decide Good Luck

yehhh. apperantly no one knows how to get recovery back... i cant flash it either >_>
[HTC Amaze 4G] usafmaverick:
I lost my recovery when I first tried to load ARHD before realizing that it needed the ICS Hboot and radios. The only way I was able to recover things was to use the All-In-One utility to relock my bootloader and then load the stock gingerbread RUU onto the SD card as PH85IMG.zip. Only then would the bootloader recognize the rom and reflashed everything (system, recovery, etc). Then I was able to unlock the bootloader again and put a custom recovery on and flash to my hearts content.

As long as you have access to bootloader its hard to never be able to go back a few steps. You should be able to do the same, and even flash your old nandroids once you have recovery working again. Though I might suggest just starting fresh to be on the safe side.
[HTC Amaze 4G] newguy12341:
thanks for the advice. mind helping me find the stock gingerbread?

You dont have to do that. Just boot into bootloader and go to the fastboot (or something like that) It will read any PH85IMG.zip file there all on its own. Just let it do its thing and click yes to run update and you are set :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMeys:
When I setup my A100 (running the ICS OTA update), I didn't have an SD card installed. It created it's own "fake" sdcard which applications use.

Now that I've added a real external sdcard, I can't get the applications to use that for their data instead of the "fake" location.

I've copied everything from the "fake" location to the new sdcard.

I suspect the problem is that the new, real sd card is called "external_sd" and the old, "fake" location is called "sdcard".

Hi, I am new to this, I have been searching this forum for many rooting method and I hope you can give me some suggestion whether I should root my tf101 ICS and installing a rom.

My wish is: After rooting my TF101, I am able to overclock it to have a smooth 720p video playback in all common format e.g. avi, mp4, mkv, mov etc. Also better stability and faster performance as the current official firmware is still have many bugs. Can rooting do that?

Some questions:

1. Is installing Revolver or Revolution HD an option? Which one is better for my need? Or should I do it manually?

2. If I install one of these rom, do they have any auto update option for easy updating? Will every update delete my apps or saved data?

3. What root method should I use? As I think different Kernel have different function, some kernel is not support overclocking, right?

4. Any other recommendation? I am pretty new, so it is hard for me to know which options is better for me as so many great developer here to make tf101 better.

Thanks alot
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
Rooting its self will not help preformance but installing a custom rom will

Revolver is pretty stable but ARDH seems to be updated and bugfixed more frequently

Revolver has a update manager i do not believe there is one for ARHD and some updates will not wipe and others will it depends on how big the update is

Vipermod is used for rooting
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.mcdear:
The most important reason for rooting, above all others, is to be able to use a custom recovery, like ClockworkMod or Team Rogues CWM based recovery. These will give you the options of making full backups, so that you can do pretty much anything you want to your tablet and still be able to restore it to a working condition.

With the recovery installed, you can not just do backup and restore, but also flash ROMs, format partitions, wipe the cache, factory reset, etc. Its by far the most important component, but also generally taken for granted.

There are a multitude of other reasons for rooting: apps that may require root privilege to function, installing custom ROMs, overclocking, editing files in the system partition, etc. Pretty much any power-user type functionality will require root on Android.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therock9:
Thanks for your reply, for my understanding, rooting through Vipermod will include clockworkmod which able to overclock tf101 without installing custom rom?
