[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tjkrz:
I only notice the proximity sensor act strangely (if at all). The screen shuts off immediately at the start of a call. Very annoying, especially when you want to hang up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Very strange but today during a phone call it happened to me. I did manage to look at the phone and made sure the proximity sensor was working and it was, so i just blew it off and blamed the other person.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Are all the callers calling from iPhones? It's possible they are, and that means they could all have the same quirk with their phone when t connects to a call. Or maybe they do all slap themselves with it. Maybe they saw somebody do it on an Apple commercial so they all have to follow suit?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aeroPM:
If you're just hearing it at the beginning of a call, it could be because your phone is connecting to a nearby airrave device. When it is connected, it will make three beeps at the beginning of a call. It could be that you're just hearing the last of these beeps... Or going crazy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SublimeMogul:
I have this issue as well, except I know what it is. Every single time I hear that sound its from an email, sms, or some other notification popping up during the call.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azkevman:
Yep. I think HTC just made a very poor choice of the notification during calls. Why would you choose an alert that sounds like a key press? And at least so far I have not found a setting to change or turn off this notification.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Twosted:
Are you using a Zagg HD screen protector. The early version of this screen protector covers the proximity sensor. I think if you call Zagg they will send you a replacement. I just cut a notch in the screen protector and it took care of the problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bbo_:
My girlfriend does this from her Droid X all the time. Hate the iPhone alert passthrough. so dumb!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
I usually keep my phone an inch or two away from my face so its never a problem. It also avoids the screen getting all oily and smudgy. Also, my proximity sensor works as its supposed to, as I constantly check during calls just for fun of it. I am using Realook screen protector without any prox sensor cut offs.

Hi , i'm new on this tweaks settings..

Well the problem is that i found the siyah kernel( i have v 3.3.2 and sg2 device) drains much more battery than other kernels , but i like the siyah kernel because is (in my opinion) more faster and smoother. I wanted to know if anyone knows the "perfect" settings on Extweaks

So I've recently tried to root my Galaxy Nexus GSM. I've unlocked the bootloader and flash a recovery.

But for some reason anytime I try to boot into recovery I get the imagine that I've attached to this post.

Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advanced!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmegalodon:
Delete recovery-from-boot.p from /system. Or rename.

Either way should set you right then reflash recovery.

Sorry if this is a nood question but how exactly do I do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmegalodon:
File explorer like Root Explorer, ES. Something allowing you to mount as read / write.

hi all do you thin it will be possible to dual boot the Surface , with Android or a light version of Linux
[Microsoft Surface] yalkowni:
I'm wondering the same
[Microsoft Surface] snickler:
I highly doubt. Microsoft stated a while ago that it will be locked to only W8 due to secure UEFI.
[Microsoft Surface] dave888:
RT will Deffently be locked. PRO not so sure. We have to wait to see what microsoft do here.
[Microsoft Surface] luigi90210:
is the pro intel based? if it is than it shouldn't be locked, because Microsoft said they wouldn't be locking x86/x64 tablets/laptops
[Microsoft Surface] greatricky:
let it release first :p
[Microsoft Surface] SunnyChrono6:
luigi90210 : The surface pro is supposed to be based on quad-core i5s.....so it is intel based.But microsoft probably will still lock it or atleast make it hard to dual-boot other operating systems.
[Microsoft Surface] Donny1987:
I seriously don't understand why people always want the possibility to dual boot or install another OS on a Windows device, I never hear people whine about those options for iPads or Android tablets.

Why should Microsoft allow everything while other operating systems don't need to allow this?

I hope dual boot will not be possible, just to annoy you people. :victory:

Actually there's an app in play to install Linux on android... So I think it's more of having the options as opposed to absolutely needing it :)

You can ran windows a Mac and it's working great. People installing other os on different android tablets. Not on IPAD as far as I know.

Windows is very slow as an OS. I'm only using it when I have to run a few dedicated tasks. Plus I have windows 8 cp on my desktop now and don't now if I like on a tablet or not. If I don't do that you simply boot up linux Mint 12.

If you read the hardware requirements docs that came out a while ago, all x86 win8 PCs MUST allow the user to disable secure boot. At the same time, all RT tabs must be locked completely.

[Microsoft Surface] nbates66:
those concerned about secure boot on x86 systems, Matthew garrets blog might be worth following:

http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/

apparently the biggest roadblock so far, (since no actual uefi secure boot OS's have been released yet) is actually making Linux compatible with booting from UEFI.
[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
>those concerned about secure boot on x86 systems, Matthew garrets blog might be worth following:

That's not a worry at least for this iteration of Windows on x86. MS' main issue with Win8 is for its mainstream adoption, which to date is not a sure thing. It's virtually giving Win8 away by pricing the upgrade for $40 (or less), and by handing it out to students. Having Windows locking out other OS'es at this point is a dumb idea.

Win8 is going to have a rough time. Businesses tend to be conservative, and having just upgraded to Win7, will likely sit out this iteration. That means the consumer sales will be on point, and a sampling of consumer opinions here and elsewhere indicates a love-hate relationship with Metro. It's great for touch, but it's an annoyance for mouse/KB users, which still comprise the vast majority of the Windows userbase. Having an OS that can't play nice with others may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

WinRT will have even worse sales prospects, with no software base to fall back on. Locking it down and playing dictator is an even dumber idea. At this early junction, techies and enthusiasts will be main driving element for its adoption, and there's no better way to alienate this crowd than to sell a locked down box.

Yes, MS' stated intent is to lock down the RT firmware. We'll see how true that is once RT ships. I'll be surprised if sideloading Metro won't be a reality (via a "hack") on day one.
[Microsoft Surface] bandeng:
What?

[Microsoft Surface] e.mote:
>hi all do you thin it will be possible to dual boot the Surface

This would be possible with the Linux Foundation's recent proffered solution to install unsigned OS'es onto Secure Boot systems,

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news...oundation-uefi-secure-boot-system-open-source

The idea is for LF to purchase a key ($99) from MS, use it to sign a pre-bootloader to satisfy the secure boot requirement, then chain it to the actual bootloader of the unsigned OS. This was ostensibly for the x86 platform, but I asked James Bottomley (the blogger) about it, and he said it should work in principle with RT as well.

Whether a solution exists comes down to a business decision rather than a technical feasibility decision. It's up to MS to allow others to play in its soon-to-be walled garden. Given MS' new "devices and services" strategy, it could do an Apple and tell Linux to shove off. My inclination is that MS will play nice, if only out of anti-trust concerns.
[Microsoft Surface] nbates66:
to be honest I prefer Red Hat's solution:

http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/18149.html

EDIT: my main reasoning for this is that the "present user test" is mostly useless because the first thing joe blogs will do when a virus attempts to take control of boot and triggers the press key to continue prompt, they'll just press it... the shim loader prompts you to allow the new binary hash first, via an interface.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSMGuy:
Bit of a strange one, had my S3 for about a week now, unbranded on Orange - Loving it (apart from the omission of a lanyard attachment!)

Anyway, although the canera is great, I am finding, that as I change the storage for video and still to "memoy card" rather than the default "phone" as I have a Sandisk 64GB micro SD in there, if I change any settings, such as changing the shooting mode to "burst" or HDR etc, then when I close and susequently reopen the camera/video app - the storage hasd defaulted back to "Phone"

Is there a way to set "Memory Card" as the default and have it atay that way??

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ajamils:
I currently have Prime and thinking about selling to get either this or Asus Infinity. Haven't made up my my mind yet. The biggest turn off for me with A700 is the lack of any upgrade (except screen) over A510.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] appelflap:
Agree. Absolutely amazing. Finally back at Android again after having some really bad experiences with the prime. Bought an iPad 3. Was impressed by the screen but missed the Android OS. Feel like I'm back home :cowboy: Impressive screen, nice performance. My only gripes:

Screen sensitivity : even at the highest sensitivity setting it fails sometimes to register some taps .... Guess i need to get accustomed to this and tap a little harder. Then again...

Rendering of web pages: in general web pages look awesome, but on pages with a lot of text and/or graphics you see the dynamic rendering of the fonts/graphics to a higher resolution. Sometimes you need to wait before things are readable.

But all in all, a great tablet.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] E-MAC:
I'm glad to hear you guys are enjoying it. The one concern I had was screen brightness...any issues there to report? I don't really plan to use it outside.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Beknatok:
The auto-brightness doesn't seem to work terribly well. Seems to put the screen "dimmer" than I personally care for.

I reset it to a static "30%" brightness or so, and it's fine for me now.

I did go out in direct sunlight (beautiful day out), to test screen readability. Cranked up to 75% and was good to go.

Hope this helps.

But 36 hrs in I can say its as snappy as I would expect it to be, especially for 450 and a 10 to 11 hour battery life. Can't beat the performance for the price

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Rick 64D:
I'm noticing a lot of lag using ezPDF Reader Pro. I almost considered returning it to Acer until I saw the 25% restocking fee. I've been using an iPad 1 for the last few weeks to view Army regs in PDF format, and the iPad was much quicker at page-turns, etc.

One of the YouTube reviews talked about a possible update from Acer to optimize performance. Pure speculation, I'm sure, but that would be nice. I also heard that the Andriod OS isn't optimized for quad-core processors yet.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] rushless:
If the reviewer got the test unit from Acer, perhaps that was said to avoid upsetting Acer and future test units? Seems the Tegra 3 gpu was not intended for such high res displays, based on benchmarks compared to the A5X. Not seeing how this can be fixed by software, unless the actual data is downsampled to lower the load on the GPU (defeats the purpose of the high res, but would people really notice?).

However, when I ran the same test on my S3, I got about 1 megabit per second down consistently between numerous tests.

WIFI disconnect fix!

A VERY long time lurker here. I saw quite a few people here having issues with their WiFi disconnecting all the time. I too had the same problem until I stumbled across a fix. I found this on another site, but either way it worked for me.

Open up your dial pad and enter *#0011#

Service Mode will open up.

Hit the menu button, select "WiFi"

You'll see "WiFi power save mode", the button under it will say "on" and the letters will be blue.

Turn this setting "off" and you should be good to go.

I take no credit for this fix, but thought I would share with those having issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
Yes, turning off the service menu wifi power saving does have a beneficial effect but it is not 100%, but it is not a solution since it's reset every time you reboot. It seems more and more likely it's something in the speed renegotiation that devices carry out with the ap to determine link speed, imho. Renegotiation should not make the phone think that it has disconnected.
