[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
Just tested it... Mine stays at 90 to no matter what... Does not move in light or dark... I don't think the program is utilizing out sensor right??? Also my proximity sensor goes from 3.5in to 0 no matter how far or close I am... There is no in between???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rydah:
Same here. No light bleed...

Check Me Out On The Google Play Store!!!

Sent From My HTC Evo 4G LTE, On The Now Network From Sprint!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
I'm getting the same reading of 90 lux and if I put it up to light it moves higher ... You think this can be fixed when we get kernel source?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Slappy_G:
This is as designed - the proximity sensors either read out "something is up against the phone" or not. So they all have only 2 values, zero and something else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Slappy_G:
No light bleed that I can see, and I used to have an Evo 4G, so I know what it used to look like on that device. I'm tempted to try a factory reset, but have not unlocked the bootloader yet, so no way to make a nandroid. Ugh.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Slappy_G:
Bump-bump-bumpity-doo...

Anyone else seeing their light sensor truly zeroing out? For now, I've reinstalled my purchased copy of Lux Auto Brightness and set it to use the camera as the light sensor, which does the trick, but only checks when the screen is first turned on.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayshocka:
Help me out My daughter is set for upgrade. she wanted a Nexus S. Sprint says it is no longer available. i have talked to telesales, stores, and retention. Does anyone know how to get one. from sprint using an upgrade has anyone recently gotten one? There are no other phones avail on sprint that she likes. The newer high end phones... in her words " are too big to put in a pocket of any pants I own" I had to laugh but very true

any help or input in appreciated

edit I am still on sprints everything plus family plan which does limit my options. I can only get an upgrade direct from sprint, I cannot use third party stores, otherwise I lose my plan.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Sadly Sales for the NS4G thru Sprint are discontinued . Your only option it seems is to get one secondhand. The GSM ones are much rarer to find for cheap. I've seen the 4G ones being sold for 30 bucks in great condition on Craigslist over here in NY.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitmaster:
What about best buy or amazon wireless

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today..........
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayshocka:
thanks guys.... tried all that... I was actually had one in my hand at a third party retailer but they could not add it to my account because of the everything plus plan. and no phone is worth losing that

topic still open how to get one directly from sprint
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
You could always purchase one off of Craigslist. Not sure about your location, I see tons of Sprint NS posted here in MN. Have the seller meet you at the Sprint store, or if you are trusting that its ESN is clear... bring it into the store and have them set it up. I've seen people do this quite often.

I can get them unlocked from our local carrier ...

... but I'm in Canada. You could try them for a direct outright purchase. All their phones are unlocked. dmts.biz/cellular-phones/

They only have 20 or so left though. Debating setting my wife up with one. They're going on promo next week for $100 with a one year commitment, $0 on 2 yr. Not sure if they're dropping the outright purchase price though. Currently showing as $525 (Canadian ... about $520US LOL).

(Oddly, I was just in there talking to them two hours ago about it.)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goletaal:
http://www.cowboom.com/, owned by Best Buy. They have them used for $99, all rated on a condition scale and most with pictures.

Their condition scale is actually pretty generous. Mine was labeled a "5" (out of 10, I think) and labeled as light scuffs and scratches. I'll be damned if I could find anything beyond a couple of nicks on the battery cover tab.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayshocka:
no go in Arizona on a used one. they seem to be real popular on Cricket and are still getting almost 200 used on craigslist. but thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
That sucks. They go anywhere from $130-$150 here... There are tons of them.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
My Samsung Galaxy S2X was working fine after the ICS update, but since two days I,m unable to connect the phone to my laptop. It tries to install the software automatically and after a while it give out an error saying that Samsung Mobile MTP Device failed. Earlier, the phone directly gave the option in the notification bar to connect as an USB storage but now it shows up Connected as a Media device.

I've tried every option available, from deleting files with 16 characters to re-installing Kies and the USB drivers. I tried connecting the phone to different computers but the problem still persists.

Another issue after the update was that the Bluetooth transfer rate is very slow with ~30kbps transfer rate which earlier in GB was 3Mbps+.

I'm wondering if its got something to do with the new ICS update or am I the only one with this issue? The device is on stock ICS and is not rooted.

Thanks for any HELP...

EDIT:

Solved the problem by doing a factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
Download the drivers from official Samsung website. The phone is SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
@alphadog32

No luck with installing the drivers. I've re-installed the drives available on Samsung's website.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
Delete ALL the drivers for Samsung phones. And re-install them. But delete them ALL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jackzoor:
Same God damn problem for me (what the hell.... ???) currently uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers, downloaded the one on samsung webpage, will give update after re install

Update -*> Uninstalled everything, re installed still didnt work, updated Kies, still didnt work

I tryed the debug USB mode still didnt work

i Tryed differents usb cables

Tryed Differents usb connections

Still doesnt work !!

I dont know if theres any issues with the fact that I have a non-legit Windows 7 tho...

If anyone else got any ideas please share ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
Uninstalled the divers, deleted registry entries and re installed the drivers.Hate to say that it still won't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
It's not the phone guys. Cause if you re-install windows it will work. The phone connection. Have you guysbtried Linux?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
I've tried on three different computers but it shows up the same way. Tomorrow I'll try on a different computer and report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
Have you tried using the connect to pc from top of drawer? If it still doesn't work. It is cable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jackzoor:
I will also try Kies Air via Wi-Fi once I get home.. currently so pissed damnit...lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
After connection the only option in the notification bar is "connected as a media device-touch for more USB options"and this opens the MTP settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jackzoor:
Well i finally flashed mine i installed Mr.X custom rom and everything work flawlessly now !! Just a heads up ;-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
How is Mr. X's ROM compared to stock? Any inputs on that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
Restoring the system is the only fix
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MagnumJoe:
Which system? Windows or android? and what do you mean by "restoring"? Factory settings?

I have been having the same problem for 2 months now. I don't know what's wrong. I have tried EVERYTHING! Nothing works!

I even installed the drivers while the phone is turned off, turned on with debug mode and when battery is taken off while connected: the OMAP4430 drivers: and still it didn't work, lol. I don't know what the hell is wrong with that f***er, lol? It won't give in!

I removed all Kies with all drivers many times, like 6 or 7 times, connected the phone to pc while it's off then turned the pc on, changed cable, usb port, tried different computers, tried this *#7284# thing, etc... The only thing i didn't try is black magic and voodoo! Or maybe i should try hypnosis? Or electric DC shock?

Anyway, if you have found a solution, please let me know :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
Wow...2 months is quite some time. Please do a factory reset on your Android by going to settings-> backup and reset-> factory data reset.

Your phone should reset back to factory settings and you're good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MagnumJoe:
Factory settings mean that I will lose all apps and stuff? So how do I back up that when I can't connect to kies?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
If you are rooted use Titanium backup else you may have to re download all the apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MagnumJoe:
Just so you would know, i restored my phone, and still it was not detected by my pc :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhilash_ksh:
so all that you get after a reset is the MTP error is it?
[General Topics] protodeath:
Hi,

So I won the HTC Sensation XL from this competition: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683209. I have been announced the winner and I am eagerly waiting for this device.

The phone has been "shipped off" on the 16th and would arrive at mine on the 18th. I have waited but the shipment can take a week as I am told. I am not jumping to conclusions just yet but I have asked the OP of the competition where my phone is and other questions... He is ignoring my PM's unlike before ( he could be really busy after he announced the winner ) but he is sometimes online but always ignores me.

I have sold my phone and I am waiting for this SensationXL... Do you think it will come? I will let you know if it arrives after a week or if it was all a fake.

Thanks

ProtoDeath
[General Topics] m3adow:
Actually you ARE drawing conclusions. Give it some time, Shipping to UK can take a bit (especially if you packet draws attention to the customs).
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Dude...really?

And it's your fault for selling your phone before getting the Sensation...
[General Topics] weeo:
I think he is worried more than jumping to conclusions...
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
He'd have nothing to worry about if he didn't go ahead and sell his phone. It's his own fault. I highly doubt this guy threw a contest just to troll everyone.
[General Topics] weeo:
True. We shall wait for a week and see. Yeah it is too bad he sold his phone... thats a negative on his part. I know FireStone00 and he is pretty legit. Just calm down dude :-)
[General Topics] egzthunder1:
@OP,

And you needed to create a new thread for this because?...

If it was shipped on the 16th, which was a Friday, and they told you it could take up to a week, just wait. No need to create a thread announcing the possibility/theory that the contest was a scam. It makes the OP of the thread look bad for no reason. Do you have a tracking number? or even a confirmation from the carrier that the phone was shipped? If the answer to either question is yes, then give it some time.

I will close this thread now as it makes absolutely no sense and you are simply inviting animosity over a concern that you have for something you are getting for free as well as ill feelings towards someone who likely is undeserving of it (the contest maker).

Thread closed.

PS. Just changed the title of your thread as you made it sound like you were scammed or something...

I'm facing a bug regularly that prevent me from booting certain apps.

This only happens to brand-specific apps (HTC, Nokia, AT&T - those apps).

Underneath you can find a video where you can watch the bug.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisKringel:
Do you use your Stock ROM? Have you done any unofficial modifications? Is the marketplace supported in your country? Did you try a hard reset?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Stock ROM - Yes

Modifications - No

Marketplace support - Yes

Hard reset - No, because I don't know how to do that (doesn't that delete stuff)?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garrickus:
Hi Matt,

Your problem seems similar to mine, except I only had this issue with Internet explorer, and a soft reset did not fix the issue, only a hard reset worked (so far anyway, fingers crossed :rolleyes: )

Garrickus

click thanks button if this helped.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Well, for me a reboot helps (just for a while).

I've showed that in the video (watch the end)

But how do I do a hard reset (button combination, etc...)

And what consequences has that for my phone? (deleting files, settings, contacts,...)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
I had a similar issue twice since I got my phone (May 2011). A reboot always fixed it for me as well, I am stumped on why this would happen regularly to you.

regarding the hard reset: go to settings, Info and select "reset device" on the bottom (paraphrasing from german here, it could be called different). This will reset the device to factory defaults, wiping any custom data you put on (apps, music, videos, pictures, email, messages... really everything).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Thanks!

I think I'll just stick to my reboot-fix, I can live with that.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
can you tell us how regularly that happens? Weekly? Daily? Monthly? Is there some pattern to it? Does this happen from one minute to the other or does that happen overnight?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Hmmm, I'm not quite sure.

I use my phone quite fast (button presses and stuff).

So I think it has to do with me quiting an app and then locking the device a few miliseconds after that.

Might that be causing some trouble?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
This was one of the countless issues I had with my HTC HD7. Always happened when I had used the device (and thus some apps) for a while. It turned out to be a hardware failure most definitely because I used all kinds of chargers for the HD7 that were not manufactured by HTC. Do you use any other chargers as well? And do you have random reboots?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
I still use the charger that came out of the box.

And I do have some random reboots (especially when connecting it to my PC via USB)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
No other, maybe more powerful charger? Hmm, that's weird. Though it really sounds like you're having the same issues with your 710 like I had with my HD7. You shouls try and send it in for repair or get a replacement device.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
It doesn't really bother me, when I doesn't happen that much.

I was just wondering if anybody has the same issues (and the answer for that is yes)
[HTC One X] stm2008:
While waiting for the new OTA update to fix the 3-dots menu issue, I just think of another silly method to remove it without need to root your machine.

System use the SDK version to determine if an app is ICS compatible, so I'm going to modify androidmanifest.xml. Version 14 or above are reserved for 4.0.x.

In order to edit the file, I use apktool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640592) to unpack the apk file:

apktool d Phone.apk Phone

And modify this line:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" />

After finish update, use apktool to pack the file again:

apktool b Phone Phone.apk

As we modified a file, the MD5 checksum is different, we need to re-sign the apk file.

I use signapk.jar (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Generating_Keys) and the included test key for the purpose:

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 c:\apk\phone.apk c:\apk\phones.apk

After that, copy the new apk to your phone to install.

Note that as we sign the apk again, it is not able to update to your existing version.

Also, as doing this will remove the menu button, which meant you can't access the menu. This solution only suitable for app in which the menu button was built inside the app screen.
[HTC One X] hapticc:
awsm thread but cn u plz upload tools i m bit lazy
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You can backup your apps using astro and then transfer them to your PC.

apktool

signare (I prefer this for signing)
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
What app did you use this on?
[HTC One X] stm2008:
Updated.
[HTC One X] stm2008:
I just use it on Go Launcher.
[HTC One X] jmkhenka:
Just calm down. Next update (2.x) will have a option in settings to swap the recent apps button to a menu button (with recent apps on longpress), or vice versa (longpress for menu).

This eleminates 3 dots in all apps.
[HTC One X] stm2008:
Yes, I knew it.

While I'm waiting, just find some fun!
[HTC One X] Fears:
I would rather have the 3 dots than do this for each and every apk ( maybe i'm just too lazy )

And i believe this was already posted somewhere here although less detailed.
[HTC One X] danlat1415:
Or you could just wait a few days for the OTA 4.0.4 update.

HTC have added this as an option in settings for you to remove 3-dot menu.

No need for modifications anymore.
[HTC One X] Fears:
Few posts above...
[HTC One X] muamers:
I found a new way out...wait for the next update :D
[HTC One X] spacebar2011:
I'm just curious, although I've flashed Exodized and it has this covered, what is the source of this info? Has it already been done by HTC on the leaked 2.05.x base?
[HTC One X] DiluTe:
Could someone upload an edited apk of the latest GoLauncher?

You can also remove 3-dot menu with a simple dimens.xml edit, so the user does not need to manually edit his build.prop
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
So i am the first to hard brick his Note with CF ROOT 5.6!

I don't blame anyone beside Samsung for this!

Fortunatly i have my warranty valid until abril 2014!

So:

For about 4 days ago i went to pickup my bricked Note with a new motherboard from Samsung Service Center!

A new motherboard was given to me.. all have it came with Gingerbread KK1!

So came home, flashed a firmware from here:

[STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle

All happy i got root on my Note i exitated from flashing ICS!

I read and read and read about the faulty kernels and then i found Chainfire that he had a workaround!

So to my mind came this:" I have warranty for my baby, even if i brick i will get a new motherboard for free! "

Anyway, flashed cf-root 5.6, flashed midnote 1.6!

And flashed again cf-root 5.6 just to be sure i had it to avoid any bricking!

Today morning i was on N7000 development thread, made a nandroid of my system and did a full wipe: cache, dalvik, /system and /data!

After it finished to flash paranoidandroid 0.2 i rebooted my Note and well.. the rest is history:

Nothing appears on screen, the jig doesn't work, no download mode, no cwm mode!

My Note is now a very expensive paperweight!

Here is the first person that has bricked his Note with CF ROOT 5.6! :D

Will bring it again to Samsung Service Center to get a new motherboard for free!

I got my Note for free, and two motherboards for free!

ahahhaa :D

Thank you Entropy, Chainfire and to all the devs out there that are trying to get this issue solved!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
It sucks! I know people are afraid of flashing... but i did because i have warranty that covers the motherboard replacement... but i guess they will be very surprised when i get my Note back again!

The best part is that i won my Note in a contest and Samsung will have to give me two motherboards for free! lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
So you just flashed CF5.6 again without booting up the phone to check if it was actually 5.6

You should have gotten a visual confirmation that it was indeed CF-ROOT 5.6. How did you flash it? Via CWM? via Mobile Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rulinglionadi:
Okay samsung is officially sued....lol....but seriously getting bricked has become common mow....because ppl forget ro do some research first....but its easy to come out of it...thanks to pc odin...it was easy for me...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Well, the CF-Root thread DOES say that his changes to make it "safer" can't protect you against unsafe update-binaries... It's in the big red "PLEASE READ THIS POST BEFORE FLASHING"...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
Poisonwolf via PC Odin! :D And of course i let the rom booted first!

I do am sure 200% that i flashed CF Root 5.6 thru PC Odin!

Afterwards i did what i told in OP and my phone dies!

I know mate.. and i'm not worried.. Samsung will give me a free motherboard!

The only ones to blame is the manufacturer! They should test the firmwares and everything they launch.. if it did made a kernel i would fully test it myself before it came to public!

Of course i will keep supporting Samsung because i do love their phones but this sucks.. i mean.. i don't care about the bricking.. but in less then a week i am without my phone!

:(

Entropy just a question:

How do i check if an update-binary is safe?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jgaviota:
The people that release roms should make sure that their update-binary is safe. I think that it is unforgivable that someone releases a rom with an update-binary that issues the erase command.

The user can make sure that the install script does not use the format command, using delete recursive instead.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
Paranoidandroid android seems to have a format command on updater-script.. Will make when i am in my laptop
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
So far I've performed backup-restore and wipe data/factory reset with 5.6 countless times but I never used it to flash customs roms.

CF had made it clear that update zip that contain format command might brick.

If I'm not mistaken, it means update script included in custom roms that contain code like

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7");

can trigger the bug.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chainfire:
You are completely correct.

Does any of the things zylor flashed contain this ?

Which ROM developer still includes those commands on their custom ROMs ?! When we know it causes bricks ?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] metalcerb:
I am running Cf-root LQ3 5.6 with same rom than zylor, and i don't wanna send my note again to samsung service.

It´s safe change to Paranandroid ? What procedure should I use?
