[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
Well, don't know if I can trust your answer because you aren't aware of the fact that the Kindle Fire does have the Bluetooth components installed on the board.

The Nook is the same with the Bluetooth, both devices came with it built-in, but not a feature that was able to be turned on. But with the Nook, rooting it, and changing kernels (or something... I haven't bothered to read up on it because I don't own one), you can enable the Bluetooth for use. The last I read about the Fire's Bluetooth is that they are speculating that even though the chip is there, it isn't actually connected to anything.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jessical:
:rolleyes:

The little camera the Kindle has is a light sensor. However it is not implemented on the device because it plainly just sucks since it is like a $0.01 component and the driver for it is poorly made. So Amazon hasn't bothered working on fixing it for that reason. It's so much easier with the brightness controls being neatly accessible at the top of the screen anyway.

The chips themselves have the markings of the bluetooth enabled ones, but like you've read, there's nothing connecting them. So it's pointless for the devs here to get it working when we'd all have to open our devices to the point of ruining them.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
Cool, thanks.

Granted, even a lame light sensor would be cool to have so closing my case could put the Fire in sleep mode, instead of having to press the power button. But it isn't that big of an issue.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] eDUB4206:
I'm currently on the new Nightly CM9 and Incredikernel HWA Beta 2 and, unfortunately, with the hacked Hulu plus 1.0 I get only sound with scrambled green bars. However, YouTube works though, and I canceled my Netflix so not sure if that's working. The app does work on CM7.2, so not sure if the have updated it to run on ICS...

So, is anyone out there up to removing the device check on the latest and greatest version of Hulu+ 2.0 app?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Ive been running the same CM7 nightly for a while ( current version in sig)

and a few weeks ago upgraded to a 32GB micro SD.

everything seemed fine for weeks until last week. I have been getting random reboots and now it reboots and stays sluggish for about 1 min then reboots again. it doesnt have time to load all my apps so i cant titanium backup and USB wont connect.

as far as memory the external card reads 32 but internal reads 5 with 62mbs left, I thought it was 8gb?

Im not sure what happened as I didnt change anything. I wanted to finally update the rom and it started going crazy today
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
decided to reboot to recovery and install the latest nightly on top of everything. if that works Ill back up settings & apps and factory reset before i try again.

I wish this damn phone would just work and stay working, if its not one thing its another.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ehafling:
If just flashing the new nightly doesn't work I'd recommend wiping it completely and reflashing everything from a clean slate. It's a little more work but it should fix the random reboots and the sluggishness. As for the loss of internal space, that's usually a custom ROM issue. I don't think I've had all 8 gigs of mine available since my G2X was running stock (which was quite a few ROMs ago)

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

And a lot of ROMs will also just mount the remaining space under a separate internal SD paritition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
that was the plan, just flashed long enough to get it stable to back up apps & settings. I always wipe cache ect between nightlies and always full wipe between different roms or major build changes. this time I didnt change or do anything and it just starting going crazy.

flashed the newest nightly and was better but not long enough to backup. had to delete a bunch of apps to get some memory back. which again is odd because I had plenty before and havent installed any new apps.

at any rate I have been using my old N1 with an early CM7 rom and its fine. about to wipe and flash the G2X now. BTW I haven't searched yet but is the newest base band flashable to the CM7 roms yet? i really dont want to flash a stock rom ect
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Sounds like its your phone and not roms, and yes cm7 rc3 and the 5-27 nightly are okay with the latest baseband. you have to use a lg tool or OTA to change basebands though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Whyzor:
Basebands can only be updated with LG's software (which checks for a stock ROM), just do a Nandroid backup of your current ROM, download a stock Nandroid backup, restore to it, run LG software update to get new BB, then nandroid restore your ROM, wipe caches, and flash latest CM7 nightly. Guide links are in my signature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Im still not sure what it was, but it seems fine now.

I flashed the latest nightly on top.

got it stable enough to titanium backup recent MMS ( so handy for work!)

restore to factory.

wipe internal SD ( which I haven't done in a while )

I knew the roms worked with the new baseband, just thought it was flashable from recovery with a file. I thought that's how i got the july 15.

Thanks! I didnt even think to use a Nandroid

BTW I just noticed the in CM settings the "use internal storage" check box.

I just rebooted after clicking it. seems this just swapping internal memory with internal SD?

EDit, after reboot it looks like it just swaps the default location for the "store to SD" feature. I was hopping it was like Apps2SD was on my N1

Thanks again everyone. Haven't been that frustrated with android in a while. usually I don't get problems until i mess with something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Well the phone is running smooth other than when in a call. speaker & mic don't seem to work. both work for other apps. also happened when i flashed on top, but after I wiped it was fine until work today. still on the baseband from the 15th. wont have time to try the new one till tomorrow
[General Questions and Answers] mdmower:
The last version of GApps for gingerbread was packaged on August 28, 2011. Since then, the market has been changed to Play, and after a fresh install an extra phone reboot is necessary to let the market update itself and shortcuts to change appropriately.

Is there a legal reason or otherwise that GApps hasn't been updated more recently?
[General Questions and Answers] a.cid:
Maybe because, we now move forward to ics...the gapps for cm9 and similar roms are updated with latest play store...

And rebooting once isn't a big deal...infact, if you plan on staying long here, then you should get mentally prepared for a whole lot of reboots!

Typed using a small touchscreen
[General Questions and Answers] mdmower:
That's not a very helpful answer. ICS marks a divide between modern and aging devices. There's still a very large audience that sticks with GB for its speed and battery life (e.g. CyanogenMod 7.2 is still going through development).

I'm more interested if there's a reason other than "nobody has gotten around to it" for why GApps hasn't been updated for GB.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
It doesn't matter if you don't like the answer. That is the answer. It's like asking why they haven't been updated for Froyo.
[General Questions and Answers] mdmower:
Ok, so this is a more direct way to answer: "nobody has gotten around to it". (Note the original question in post 1: Is there a legal reason or otherwise that GApps hasn't been updated more recently?)
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
There is no legal reason. It's because they're updated by the Google Play app anyways, so there's no point.
[General Questions and Answers] mdmower:
Thank you, that's much more helpful. Is there a member familiar with gapps flash package creation that would accept donations to make a proper update?
[General Questions and Answers] antwbone:
Manually Update Google Play Store

If you are just looking for the latest Google Play Store and can't get the phone to automatically update to the latest version, just do a Google search for "Google Play APK" and you should be able to find download links for the .apk file. Save this to your phone and then run and install it manually. Hope this helps!

Hi to everyone,

I'd disassemble my HTC Sensation Xe, and found this pin behind the speaker.

Does anyone know where this pin belong to?

Much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
It appears to be the case ground terminal for your device. Go to this thread and look at the first picture in the first post and see if you are missing the terminal that is circled in red is missing from your device.

No on second look that actually looks like that is at the top of the device close to the power button, look there and see if you are missing the piece in the photo i posted below.

[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
Posts like this one and ones about poorly manufactured displays that make me realize how cheap our phones can be. I've had mine a year and can't wait til I come up on an extra couple hundred to get the next great "sensation" :) ps the sensation has been good to me. Hope u fix urs.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Atleast they are more durable than iPhones :D
[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
For sure! Drop an iPhone once and the back crack larger than my ass. I dropped my sensation twice and I just keep on trucking.

Edit: I saw my buddy's iPhone 3gs get ran over by a box truck on the airfield carrying supplies. The phone still worked and was readable with cracked glass. No protection at all. I'm too scared to put my sensation up to the task
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Seriously dude?
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Although I don't understand the random hate for the iPhone popping up in the thread, I've seen an iPhone sustain a two foot drop and completely shatter the back cover. Design can also be questioned, a glass back? Glass, a fragile material, covering the entire back of the phone? It serves no real purpose, so why is it there?

These are rhetorical questions, of course, but the iPhone is one of the more fragile phones out there.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
it is just a tendacy of android device owners :D

Who can blame us? iPhone sucks :D
[HTC Sensation] barascus:
Thanks

Thank you T-Macgnolia for sending your pic, although the pic looks bright cant see properly where that pin is located next to the power button.

My phone works just fine, but you know it doesn't feel complete when you have a part missing some where and you don't know where it belongs too.

Anyways thanks everyone maybe something will arise.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Problem:I need a default Build.Prop from anybody on the .208 ICS Leak, because wifi is not working, and the only difference between the other people on this leak and me: I restored an older Build.Prop from Gummy 1.2.3 and I remember wifi working at startup. So it must be the Build.Prop

Solution: I need a backup of the the default Build.Prop for this build.

TL;DR I need a backup of Build.Prop from the .208 leak.

Thank You:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ffaaiissaall:
Kindly guide me how to use fm transmitter of xperia sola in my car radio
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ffaaiissaall:
90 views and no single reply
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
It doesn't have an FM transmitter. That's why you're not getting any replies. It only has an FM receiver, to receive FM radio and listen to it on your phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matttson:
I've seen quite a few sites saying that the Sony Xpreria Sola actually does have a FM Transmitter (google sola fm transmitter). I've also come across some info saying that often the HW is there but transmitter functionality is not included in the SW shipped with the device.

A quote from theandroidsite blog comment:

"Actually most chipsets already include FM transmit capabilities, it's just that phone manufacturers don't attach proper antennas to the transmitter. It's even possible to access the transmitter with root access and a custom kernel, but the lack of an antenna makes it useles."

1) Are there any official specs saying that Xperia Sola does not have a FM transmitter?

2) If the device doesn't have an antenna for the FM transmitter, is it unusable alltogether (what if it's near the car radio)?

3) Is anyone using custom ROMs to gain FM transmitter functionality on any phone (I see some apps for this in the play store)?

I have a Sola myself, haven't tested custom ROMs before, but probably going to try as there seems to be no other way to get root in Sola (I also want play with the dpi settings). Would highly appreciate if someone could shed some light in this FM transmitter business. Thanks beforehand.

[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Alright guys. Just an hour ago I received a message from T-Mobile saying that they blocked my tethering and that I had to pay for that. Screw that. I found a way to fix it.

Prerequisites:

Rooted Phone on GB / ICS

Data Plan

Wireless Tether For Root Users app, download it from here.

New APN (For T-Mobile USA users)

We will create an APN (also works with MMS). Go to Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names. Press the menu button and press New APN. Type the following.

Press Save APN. After that, do the following.

1. Install the app.

2. Open WiFi Tether.

3. Press the Menu Button.

4. Click Settings.

5. Click "Change Device-Profile".

6. If you are on Gingerbread, choose your Actual Device!

6.1 If you are on Ice Cream Sandwich, choose "Generic ICS".

7. If you are on T-Mobile, Scroll down and MUST select "Routing Fix".

7.1 Depending on your Carrier, you may need to select Routing Fix.

8. Tether away! (Just don't go over your data!)
[HTC Amaze 4G] asidrave:
not working for me. Im assuming it only works on GB...i have ICS
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Nope. It works on ICS. Make sure you select it after you saved it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jamesh0317:
Didn't work for me. Even rebooted the laptop and phone. Tried USB and wireless both. Maybe I will google for "wap.voicetream.com/net" I remember years ago that worked... back when I used a Handspring Visor, LOL.

Don't know if it matters:

I have the "unlimited" 5G plan. I have a SGS4G phone, use Team Acid's ICBINB rom, and antonx's KJ6 kernel version 1.1.0. The phone is (of course) rooted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Here are screenshots
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I forgot to add that I usr wireless tether for root users. Not the built in hotspot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] asidrave:
I did have it selected when i set it up. Tried it again...its working now. Im using the stock mobile hotspot.

Thanks for the help :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jamesh0317:
I double checked the setings from your screen shot. Mine are the same, still no go. Deleted browser cache (Chrome) and restarted browser (again). No go. Tried "wap.voicestream.com" and "internet2.voicestream.com" still no-go.

I am using the hotspoy app that came with the team acid icbinb rom, which I believe is stock SS or Android. I will look on the market for "wireless tether for root users and see if that helps".
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Hasoon did you try leaving everything blank except mmsc and apn? That's my current apn set up, I can't confirm the hotspot since I have the 5GB data with free tethering.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Nope. I always used this set up on unlocked Android phones and it always worked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I installed the Telus ICS update yesterday, put this in and for some reason, my data is connected, but it's like access isn't fully allowed, one minute it loads the page fine, then it suddenly says server unavailable, I tried the other thing I said and it works, I wanted to test the tethering with it though, since I as far as I can remember, my tmo apn settings had close to these settings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I don't know what to tell you lol. I used to work at T-Mo and I always used these settings for customers. Never had an issue with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lol got ya.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Sorry, not exactly related to topic.

I was wondering, does 5GB data come with free tethering always or you were lucky to get it for free? :confused:

I have preferred Android plan.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Creating a whole new apn isnt necessary at all. This is already all over the forum =). All you ever have to do is delete everything out of the "apn type" field of the default apn like so -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPaIpdSuCe0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Why go through all the trouble when this method takes a matter of seconds and works like a charm on every single Rom I've ever tested it on? =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Nope. You gotta buy the tethering plan. T-Mobile doesn't believe in free lol

Because it didn't work for me lol. I did my way and it worked like a charm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Actually you are mistaken. Currently speaking, tethering comes automatically with the 5 or 10 gig options.

If you think t mobile pricing is unreasonable, you should try having service with Verizon, or any carrier not t mobile for that matter he he he =)

That's weird. It's worked for me on 6 different roms, and also worked for BOTH of my co workers on completely stock Amaze's. I think something may have been missed, but since your current method works I guess there's no point in figuring that out I guess =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
Thanks a lot bro!

I was wondering is there any T-Mobile document about it?

The reason I ask: If I login to myTMobile, all I see is:

Services:

REQ Pref Android Web

Free Wi-Fi Calling

If I google for

t mobile tethering free

I get lots of variations on:

T-Mobile's "free" tethering ends with ICS upgrades...

:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I can explain the "REQ Pref Android Web". There were 2 types Android data plans. (Now they just call it smartphone web or something like) One Req and an Android web. If you bought a phone on contract or did an upgrade, they added the Required data so you can't remove it. If you brought a phone in and wanted to activate or bought the phone outright, you are not required to keep the data and can remove it whenever.

It doesn't relate to the question, but just wanted to throw that out there lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
I got it.

I was explained verbally, I have unlimited plan throttled down after 5GB.

It's not the same as 5GB plan, probably.

I can see on TMO forums, people are talking about:

http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/25504?start=15&tstart=0

Only the $14.99 tethering plan and the very recent amendments to the 5GB and 10GB plans have explicitly allowed use.

To AndroidAutobot:

I was wondering, do you see tethering is included in your services list on myTmobile?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BIGWORM:
I'm trying to downgrade my friend's baseband to the v21e baseband so he can properly use non-2.3.4 roms. I'm having a problem where XP mode does not recognize me plugging in the phone when trying to initiate download mode. XP Mode will see it fine if the phone it booted up normally, but XP mode sees nothing, so I can't properly install the APX drivers. My actual computer sees it in non-XP mode no problem, though.

I've installed the USB drivers in XP Mode properly, but to no avail. I've been trying to get this going for the past 3 hours now, but nothing. I've got all my files ready to flash the baseband, but my VM is not picking up the phone in download mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

anyone??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Did you select the phone's usb driver in the XP Mode menu?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
i know this is old, but i have gotten this to work a number of times now

you have to select the phone from the USB menu at the top of the window in XP Mode. it drops the phone a couple of times when its pushing the base band to the phone

you may also have to attach the phone using the same menu before you start. i will take a screenshot tonight and post it

also i found it helps to copy the files you need to the XP Mode machine, dont use them through the virtual bridge to your physical drives. just "copy" them to the desktop in XP Mode, works much better that way
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I dropped Sprint because they are outright insane with their new prices :mad:. I have been looking at a warranty with SquareTrade and did a little homework and found a $30 off coupon code :D. The price before the code is $124.99 and $94.99 after for a 2 year warranty and a $99 deductible if something happens. You will be paying Sprint $264 over the next 2 years without adding the added $150-$200 deductible. The Coupon code is FF30 if anyone is interested! ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caspertodd:
While I do love Squaretrade, I have taken my previous phones to Sprint many times for repairs, and have never been charged a deductible after they verified that I had Total Equipment Protection. This would have cost me a $99 dedudible each time had I gone with Squaretrade. So the Sprint insurance has its benefits, but you're definitely right about the high prices. I hope Squaretrade works out for you. I use them for my other electronics, and their customer service has always been very good. If you sign up for Squaretrade email, they send you a 30% off coupon every Tuesday.
