Umm yeah I can do that to lol but I had already had them on my nexus s?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
What's the current problem? Setting BLN to 0 turns my cap buttons off (effectively) permanently while using the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bord1er:
How did u do it is there a app or something I been trying to keep them off
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Manually through sysfs or NSTools (same thing). You may need NSTools or an init.d script to do it each boot though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bord1er:
I used nstools but with nstools everytime I turn off the screen and turn it back on the touch keys would light up still and I have to touch them again to turn of the light I want them to stay off
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I just tried myself using the latest stable Trinity 1320 and with timeout set to 0 and bln on the buttons stay off even after switching the screen on and off multiple times. Unsure what's going on there. What kernel and version are you using?

Set delay to 500 Ms not 0
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bord1er:
That would keep it off for sure
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bord1er:
That does work they blink but they turn off that's better it helps
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Ah, this may have been a problem for you because the amoleds use a slightly different system (as relayed by others) than the LCDs for the cap buttons. Sorry for the confusion. 500ms (maybe even a bit lower?) should be a good compromise either way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bord1er:
Yeah bro I tryed a little bit lower it blinks for a second its cool thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] accordex:
Hi guys, I don't own this device so pardon the nOOB q.

Im thinking of buying the $399 gsm HSPA + Gnex from Google Play store...

Is this model any different from other GSM models? like the 9250? I see Gnex has official MIUI support and I would like to have miui on it. Their rom download has an asterisk next to it indicating it is for the international variant. Would this work?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Yes, it'll work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
For all intents and purposes, they are the same phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] accordex:
OK so it just basically can't be used on Verizon and sprint branded ones right?

That is correct. They have their own version.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
it does not use luminosity or depth or focus points to match. i can quickly (quicker than actually looking at it properly...) unlock it by holding up with all:

a photo of me

a black & white photo of me

an out-of-focus pic of me on a laptop screen

a self-pic of me on my old evo screen

so dont anyone get a false sense of security from that, think of it more like a convience/gimmic to show off, but NOT for actual security.

---

i'm a little disappointed, because with that fancy photo chip htc has, they could have easily required either a depth or focus check of luminosity to at least prevent photos from unlocking it. can the lock screen be changed with an app? someone could make a better facial recognition lock?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazydazed:
Yep i took a few refresh shots with my hat on and sunglasses.. So my wife put on my hat and then unlocked my phone :-(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
Hello, I have been waiting for Samsung HK to release the ICS before purchase. Within a day after the release, lots of users in HK have complained several issues. I tried a Galaxy Note with ICS in a local store, the response of that device was like 50% slower than that before the upgrade. How come even the hardware is the same, some users have more problems than the others (with respect to locally and globally)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aussiebum:
Probably because those ppl upgrading didn't wipe after the ICS upgrade.

When I tried out the LPY rom without wiping, it did really feel like everything was noticeably slower.

Wiping sorted out the performance issue for me. Of course, Samsung should really ensure that users don't really have to wipe to get peak performance post upgrade to ICS..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
Just keep going on and tell ppl to wipe with the buggy ics kernels..........

Samsung might send you medal of honour for that..:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
I read that they have the following problems. At this stage, do you recommend buying the Note only if it has ICS pre-installed or wait until Samsung HK has fixed the bugs? (Not sure if the Note with ICS pre-installed has these problems.) Why Samsung does not release the same ICS to different countries?

- "Google Map always force close during the time of GPS location "

- Cannot receive signals from routers of 5GHz

- Front camera changed from 2M pixels to 1.3 M pixels

- Very slow response over all. (My experience is about 50% drop in speed overall.)

- Poor battery performance

- High RAM usage

- Becomes very hot easily

- GPS disappeared (not sure as I don't read Chinese well).

- Some kind of mess up with music files (not sure as I don't read Chinese well).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
Like dude above said, wiping throught cwm or even stock wipe/factory reset on any ics, except cm9 is not safe. It can brick your phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
I often read the word "brick" in forums related to Android phones. Is that the same as breaking the phone into an useless state?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
A brick is a building stone for your house, slang for unusable. In case of ics it can render broken mmc chip, thus making it nearly impossible to fix for ordinairy consumers.

You have softbricks and hard bricks. In case of ics chance of hard brick is higher :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukeinchina:
Just from my personal experience, I haven't noticed any of that even though I installed ICS without wiping/factory reset. My Note is no slower since upgrading from GB, it gets no hotter, GPS still works with Google Maps, the battery lasts the same as it did on GB, the RAM usage is no higher, the front camera looks exactly the same in Skype, and my music works just the same as it did before.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
I am puzzled why some people have issues while others don't. Where did you get your Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:

You sure you upgraded? If it acts the same, no better no worse, maybe you thought you upgraded,but you didn't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukeinchina:
Somewhere in Hong Kong. I live in Shanghai, but I didn't want to buy the Chinese model Note, so I got my brother-in-law to buy it for me when he went to Hong Kong in April.

Yes, definitely. There were a lot of changes (fonts, face unlock, Settings in the status pulldown menu, etc) and of course it says Android version 4.03 in the 'About Phone' section of Settings. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] timonoj:
My gf's phone is a rooted Note. Yesterday she saw a notification for firmware upgrade, which I dismissed just in case. If I install the update, will it lose root/CWM? How could I re-root it back? Is this software update affected by the brick thing when you wipe? Thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] g5virus:
I have reset to factory default after upgrade and everything is fine now.... I knew it is not a desire option but I don't see there will be any good option.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
Excuse me! I am new to Android. What is mean by "wiping"?

I suppose "rooting" is similar to "jail breaking" in iPhone term. Am I right?

Do people who have "rooted" their phone have more issues after upgrading to ICS? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wingod513:
My first time upgrade from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 = lagging like hell and battery hog!

Then I had it reset to factory settings from menu. = no more lagm or lesser lag i should say. But battery hog still.

Then i did a hard reset (pressing volume button + power button + center button when my mobile off) = battery works a bit better now but still a bit hog.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nitroblu:
Yes, you will lose root and CWM. You can root and get back CWM after updating if you choose to. dr. ketan's mega thread explains how. I rooted after updating but chose not to install CWM.

For those of you who still haven't received the update, you might not get it OTA (from my personal experience). My phone found no update OTA, but instantly informed me of the update when I checked with Kies, so make sure to check both methods.

I didn't wipe after upgrading to ICS, not sure I want to yet. My personal observations are: battery life is a lot better (phone switches to sleep a lot faster now), reception/signal is much better, and the stylus accuracy is better. I've noticed no bugs with Maps or Music (though I haven't tried using GPS with Maps yet).

The bad things I've come across: 1) I've noticed so far is some very noticeable lag/sluggish touchscreen response, especially when clicking apps/buttons on the screen and any scrolling gestures. It's especially noticeable after waking the phone. 2) RAM load is also noticeably higher than before under normal usage (~100-200 MB more). 3) The phone takes a lot longer to perform "media scanning" after turning on. 4) A minor thing I've noticed is the phone takes a couple of seconds longer to shut down lol. Other than these 4 issues, my phone has been fine.

EDIT: I've found minor bug with the Music player - custom playlists randomly get deleted by the phone...major pain to redo them all. And I can't find where the phone saves them so I could at least try to back them up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nitroblu:
I got tired of the lag, so I tried this:

1) downgrade to older HK ROM (I chose official KK1) via PC Odin - this wiped the phone

2) Factory reset the phone (just to be sure) -> wipes cache and data

3) connect to Kies and get official ICS update

4) root with temp. cwm

So far, I'm not experiencing any lag in touchscreen responsiveness that I saw before. I haven't been using it long enough to comment on any of the other issues I mentioned above - though I did notice media scanning still takes a while after boot.

I was able to restore most things with Titanium Backup, but I found it didn't restore/backup all my previous user settings, so I ended up having to waste some time going through all my settings to readjust/confirm changes. Other than that, I'm glad I did this, I feel it's worth the time to possibly fix the lag problem.

See answer 3 posts up from yours. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26651608&postcount=15

There *might* be a risk of hard brick with the stock kernel Factory Reset, but I would expect Samsung to cover the repair cost if it did brick as a result of the wipe / Factory reset.

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

1. wipe = factory reset. NOTE it's possible to do factory reset / wipe WITHOUT clearing internal storage partition. The Factory Reset screen gives u option to also clear internal storage when doing Factory Reset...

2. yes. rooting = jailbreaking = getting "su" access = superuser access.

3. no. but you'd have to re-root the phone again either via CWM (see Dr. Ketan's post on this topic) OR use the app Mobile Odin Pro + "EverRoot" option when flashing ICS upgrade.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

Flash franco's custom kernel (viw CWM or Mobile Odin), then use SetCPu / Voltage COntrol to set "Governor" to pegasusq.

Awesome battery life and very smooth. Some people have had wifi problems though. I've had none.

So my dell streak 4G has been unplugged for quite sometime. Plugged in, the light stays red, and any attempt makes the light blink several times, then go off, then go to solid again.

Is it toast?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
There is only one 'brick' S7, and that is what we call the "read-only" mode.

First, I would try buying a new cable and charging it for a day.

If that doesn't work, two things are wrong:

A) Charger port on the device is bad

B) Device is in read-only mode.

Both require service by Dell.

turns out the battery was simply drained and taking a little longer than normal, thanks!

Perhaps you can assist me a little further, the whole goal of this is to get the tablet back up to speed, I finally got back around to installing the ADK but I can't seem to track down Streak 7 drivers anywhere, it's a 4g running windows 7. Dell doesn't have them up any longer.

I uninstalled many less-used apps from the task manager yet the "free-memory" shown is not as much as it should be on the device !!

I also move many apps to SD using app2sd but still the device memory has not been freed as per my expectation !!

Try wiping dalvik cache in recovery. That takes up quite a bit of space in the data partition. Wiping it will rebuild it again and clear out some leftover bits from old apps (I suppose)

But even if i turn 4g off battory still dies fast while listening to internet radio.

Any ideas why
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
Are you the type of person to press the home button when switching in between apps? If so they're running in the background, and apps like Facebook can eat up CPU usage. Bluetooth and radio apps will do the same.

Fairly typical. GPS is always on 24-7 and wifi on most of the time when home. Often end up charging and then taking off charge before bed so I get a 7 or 8 hour cruise mode with no activity to start off each battery stat as you can see by the plateau at the start. Over clocked @ 1344 w/ screen on, flat clocked with screen off and no undervolting so its not too bad. As soon as I move/copy/paste files or anything leaving screen on I see drastic drops in battery life but typical medium use lasts all day no prob and battery left to spare.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
I take some offense that you call the ics roms buggy. They are excellent daily driver candidates. If you need wifi calling the. Dark side evolution 2 beta 3 is excellent as it is a tmo base. The only known big bug is that there is a voice delay on wifi calling if you are far from your router. The att based ics roms are a bit less "buggy" from what I hear but won't cut it if you absolutely need wifi calling. I recommend trying them all and seeing what you like. Its a matter of preference, not stability.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Madblaster6:
I've used both ics darkside and gb I went back to gb for better battery and stability. There are still bugs that need to be fixed in ics. If you need more customization and faster speeds you can go with the ever so popular juggernaut. Or you can mix juggernauts rom and save battery with the darkside kernal witch people seem to be doing the most.

Haha sorry dont mean to offend. I appreciate all the work the devs put in to these roms and I guess I have no room to call them buggy.
