[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] namanimano:
I did try to search for an answer, but nothing I found has worked. I want to get rid of all camera sounds. I have tried renaming the following audio files: Cam_Start.ogg, Cam_Stop.ogg, camera_click_short.ogg, camera_click.ogg & Shutter_01_ogg. I also added this line to the build.prop file & local.prop file: ro.camera.sound.forced=0.

I did get the "click" sound eliminated, but there's still a "beep" sound when I take a picture.

I'm not sure what to change to truly eliminate this "beep" sound. Adjusting all of the volume functions including silent mode does nothing to stop this sound.

I've spent most of the weekend fighting this.

How can I truly eliminate this sound?

Any help is appreciated.

Here's my phone info.:

Thanks! I'm new at this...so, forgive me for sounding stupid, but I searched for "claks rom" and could not find it.

Could you provide a link?

Thanks!

i did this and it worked the first time after a reboot but once closed, if you try reopening the cam app it will force close until you re-install from an explorer. I may have been doing something wrong though, but i doubt it. (it may or may not have been the apk from the rom your speaking of though, i don't remember)

E: signature verfication failed

I'm getting "E: signature verification failed" when I try to flash any of the ZIP files.

I searched around and saw something about "Recovery 3e" not allowing unofficial, unsigned files.

Is there a way around this? In CWM, I don't have an option to disable signature verification....

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Did you give it the proper permissions when you replaced the original camera with the one from Calkulin's ROM? Also, are you using the same version?

I believe the /system permissions are rw-r-r or 644 if you use terminal.

$su [ENTER]
#chmod 644 /system/app/camera.apk [ENTER]
#chown root:root /system/app/camera.apk [ENTER]

It's been a while so I may have typed the chown command wrong. Someone correct me if it's wrong.

Flashing Calkulin's E4GT ROM

I was actually trying to follow along with the instructions here on flashing Calkulin's E4GT ROM since I thought I would get benefits beyond a quiet camera:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332837

I downloaded and installed the latest version of CWM. It has superuser rights. I thought that is all that's needed?

In Recovery Mode, it has "Recovery 3e" at the top.

When I Googled the "E: signature verification" error, most posts indicated I just needed to disable signature verification, but I can't do that with latest version of CWM.

I anybody using their Galaxy S2 rooted with custom rom with a company bring your own setup?

I'm thinking about participating but I heard that the container software that allows company push mail only work with stock roms

I'm trying to find out more if BYOD works on a rooted S2 but so far without any luck.

Anybody here that knows more about this?

The container in my case would come from here: http://www1.good.com/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
As I don't know this container, I can just suggest that it will not work for custom ROMs but for stock ROMs only.

If it is rooted or not should not influence the technical usage of the container, but it could break some other rules (company/security policy).

In my company, there are many "hard" data security policies/rules, and one of them explicitly tells that the phone is not allowed to be "Jailbreaked" or "rooted" ... and only official/original/stock firmware has to be used on the smartphone.

Just wondering if anyone could provide an estimate as to around when the OTA should arrive for all. It would save me from checking 100 times a day lol

If i'm not wrong (i have a xt910) on verizon droid razr the ota is already out, but is slowing showing up randomly. you can update it manually since the version of the ota is the same of teh latest leak. If you have another razr then there are no specific date set for the update

I have the Maxx on XT912...so it's not out yet for me?

I don't know if you guys know, but if you change the screen DPI on AOSP ROM's to 240 the phone enter on tablet mode. As we got our ICS not so long ago, I thought: maybe this can work on our Xperia S, with a Sony customized ROM.

So, I would like to ask too anyone who has Root and ICS to change the DPI to 240, reboot and see what happens, and post a screenshot if possible.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FenrirMX:
Excuse my ignorance, but what is Tablet mode?

The phone acts as a tablet, same for apps. Status bar at bottom, virtual buttons, etc. Search for tablet mode on Galaxy Nexus Themes and apps section, and look there.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] rushless:
I would rather have an hour or even two so less battery life to afford a smaller battery and then Acer would perhaps had space to accommodate a wider dissipation of heat.

The Infinity in spite of its thinner frame and higher clocked chipset apparently does not get hot. Price is $50 more, but to avoid the heat, seems a better option.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] acdcking12345:
How do you do this?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Raptor2099:
Quick Note: The Infinity is $150 more actually.

On the subject of heat dissipation, I was thinking about modding the back of this case for venting as well. I believe the crashes may just be from bad software programming for certain apps. I don't think the tablet is actually OVER heating just getting warmer than other tablets. It should be within the processor's limits. I was hoping to overclock this tablet in the future to pump up it's gaming capabilities since right now it's a bit slower than the other Tegra 3 tablets due to the resolution. Hence why I want to mod the casing to allow for venting. Maybe a few vent holes properly cut will allow for the processor to release a lot more heat.

To Disable Apps: Just goto Settings --> Apps --> ALL --> Select the App you want to Disable --> Click Disable -- If the app has had updates, Select Uninstall Updates then go back to that app again and choose Disable.

I disabled Virus Scanner, WildTangent, Face Unlock, Google+, Zinio, and Evernote. Those are the only ones I found I will never use.

32gb is $500 for Infinity and launching mid July. The 64gb version is $600.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Raptor2099:
Whoops, I see now that I was wrong. It IS only $500 for the 32GB version. That's a kick in the balls. I bought the A700 because it was thought to be so much cheaper than the Infinity, now that it's only $50 cheaper it seems a lot better. Oh well I still enjoy this A700 so I'll keep it, plus a new custom ROM will probably speed this up to Infinity levels anyways.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] zdrussell:
Heat issue fix

Some people are reporting that disabling McAfee will fix the heat issue, at least for the a510. Hopefully this will fix it for the a700 as well.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] s300pmu1:
Devil is in the details. I'm considering A700 instead of the Infinity for two reasons:

- I/O problems: though associated with TPI's Tegra3, I've never read about similar problems with A700 in any of its reviews (browser hiccups and the like)

- Poor speakers: "stereo" speakers placed side-to-side under one (!) small grill located at the back (!) of the pad facing away from the listener and at the right (!) side of the pad. As a result, when you're playing\watching a movie, you're:

- getting mono sound

- the sound comes from the right, not perceived center, which is off-putting

- if you're watching it on the sofa with the pad lying on your knees, or in bed with it lying on the blanked, the speaker is muffled by the blanket\clothes so much it's a big problem.

So basically since one of the main functions of the pad I'm about to buy is to watch movies at home when the desktop PC is occupied, speaker quality is a big item in choosing the pad, and TPI loses to A700 hands down.

Of course, A700 also has speakers in the back (why in Lord's name can't they be in front?), but they're genuine stereo and have larger grilles.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] rushless:
All Tegra 3 devices have some form of occasional hiccups since single channel (this is why the new dual core S4 beats it- more than one channel memory). As per the Anandtech review (and others) the Infinity actually has less events since higher bandwidth from clock increase. In spite of the higher clock, the Infinity apparently does not get hot (if reviews are correct).

Acer should not have used the same exact chipset as the 510, but considering how hot the 510 gets, perhaps that would have been too much for the 700.

Will be nice to see a smack-down of both devices (Acer & Asus). Problem is finding the Acer in a store, since retailers have the 510 which is also new and the same price. Asus at least has an excuse, since the Prime is now "older" by electronic standards and will be price reduced (maybe the 510 should do the same).

Still, perspective is for $450 a person can get a 1920x1200 Android tablet that has good performance. If you can put up with the heat, or do not play many high resource apps, it would be web surfer or comic readers best cost option.

BTW, why no reviews yet? The 700 came out first- zero reviews, but the Infinity already has a bunch of reviews. Acer not send review units out?

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] agdroubi:

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Beknatok:
Keep in mind that it was only very quietly released (in limited quantities via Amazon) here in the US last week.

Adoption takes time.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] XooLoo:
Our A700's were delivered on the same day... :) My review slash first thoughts would've been exactly the same as you (the OP). The heat is my number one concern. I did not buy this for gaming, but when I did install the car racing game that was already on it and a deer hunting game, I was totally hooked. Sadly, it crashes after the same amount of time passes playing each of these games. The back in each instance got very hot. I have been using mine with the Slim folio Case With Multi-Angle Stand that I bought on Amazon as well.

I really like this tablet--the speed is amazing, the display quality is excellent, the speakers are the best I have seen on a tablet (including iPad 3) even when compared to some laptop computers, and more... but if it's going to crash each time I play a game for, say, half hour, and gets hot to the touch, then I am not too sure what to do...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] s300pmu1:
What a shame. I'm seriously considering buying A700 instead of Prime primarily because of the speakers; and though also not for gaming, this heat issue is still a concern. A device over $100 should be sensibly engineered.

Looks like I'll have to get a google pad for the meantime and wait for S4 Krait devices or even a w8 pad.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] XooLoo:
Shame indeed... I am literally one click away from returning it. As stated, my original intention was not gaming, but after having spent time playing games on this tablet, I find it a crime to not play games on it! And the thought of playing a game and losing it all in the heat of the moment (pun intended) just kills all the excitement for me. It's almost guaranteed to crash as the temperature rises. Also keep in mind that although it didn't crash, watching HD videos on YouTube definitely does cause the temperature to go up. Perhaps it didn't crash because in between videos I paused quite a few minutes each time, and in the end did not spend that much time watching HD videos in one session.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] s300pmu1:
Could you kindly answer a couple of questions for everyone's benefit?

1. If you launch a game, it crashes after a certain time, coinciding with a considerable heating of the pad's body?

2. If you try to launch the same game right away (without letting the pad cool down), what happens?

3. If you try launching a different (but also graphics-intensive) game right away, what happens?

4. Have you tried uninstalling\freezing the McAfee antivirus, which, as claimed by some, may alleviate this problem (not very believable, though)?

Thank you!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
I've been gaming on mine and after turning off unneeded running programs, and turning off unused services (gps, auto sync...) it still gets warm but it never crashes. I've also been watching movies without issues as well. A vent or better heat sink option should have been used to alleviate this problem although I have some ideas....The Asus is not even an option for me due to their attention to detail with the speaker, and all the potential build problems that will likely occur just like their past 3 models.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Raptor2099:
I can confirm that after shutting down and disabling a few apps, specifically Virus Scanner, WildTangent, Evernote, and Google+. I can play games for quite a while without any crashing. The crashing may be caused by the virus scanner rather than the heat, cause I can run RR2HD for over an hour without a single crash now but the back does indeed get really hot. I'm currently trying to figure out how I might be able to dissipate some of that heat via a case mod of some sort.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] acdcking12345:
Is there a program we can install that will run continually so that we get the tab heating up without just playing a game? Just to let it run and see if it ever crashes the tab?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ajamils:
You can run a HD video in loop and see how long it runs before the software crashes.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] candre23:
That probably won't do it. Most HD video is h.264, and the tegra3 has dedicated hardware to handle that. You'd have to use some pretty crappy video software that didn't use hardware acceleration in order to stress the CPU.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Arctiik:
It gets warm not hot it works just fine other then apps like infinity TV not working and a few others but so far my experience its way better than the prime which I had to sell for 350 with keyboard
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] s300pmu1:
I heard that playing flash (youtube) is a way to get the thing hot rather fast. Could use that to stress-test the thing, though I guess you'll have to find a long video and\or keep tapping on new ones, if it's impossible to play one in a loop.

Also, I'd suggest the following test for those who found disabling crapware helps with game crashes - try re-enabling the McAfee "antivirus" alone and see what happens? Something tells me this is indeed the culprit, so such singled-out testing might help prove\disprove this hypothesis.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Beknatok:
For me, playing NFL Flick QB and Heavy Gunner both consistently get the A700 all fired up, so that's what I am using as my testing apps.

Disabling McAfee was actually one of the very first things I did when I unboxed my A700 (along with Ring and other stock apps I had no interest in), so that did not play a factor when I did start playing games which overheated and crashed my A700.

I also added an update to the original post, but I did wind up opening up the A700 last night and adding some thermal paste to the thermal pads. I'm pleased to report that that seems to have done the trick, though I'll give more detailed findings as I spend more time with it today.

Some Quick Power Calculations

Battery, per the specifications is 9800mAh (36Wh)

Modern (internal) charger / power converter circuits are very efficient, say 85%.

Stock A700 charger is 12v 1.5A (18W)

THEORETICALLY, stock charger could charge this battery completely in 2.4h.

Commodity USB charger is 5v 0.5A (2.5W)

THEORETICALLY, USB charger could charge this battery completely in 17h.

(Users have reported a 4% charge rate, which would equate to 25h)

Amount of current you can push though connector pins is the usual limiting factor for charge rate.

The charge circuit inside the tablet is designed not to pull more than the pins are capable of carrying.

Assuming battery life of 8h in heavy use (Gaming, Video playback)

Tablet is dissipating 4W of energy on average, almost all of it going to heat
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] XooLoo:
1. Based on my experience, yes.

2. Didn't try that. Was disappointed so much that each time this happened, I just put it on the side and went on with my business.

3. Didn't try that either (the "right away" part). I have two games on it. The car racing game and the deer hunting game that I downloaded (can you tell by now that I am not a gamer!).

4. No! It is unbelievable, considering that I have spent 500 bucks on something that requires modifications for it to function just normally (not even optimally). I [now] dislike Apple products as much as the next guy, but I have owned all different variations of iPad before and I didn't have to disable a bunch of crapware or bloatware or whatever the hell ware JUST to get it to work normally and not crash on me... I just don't have time to go research and conduct tests and read on other people's experiences just to get my device to work like it should... remember? I paid 500 bucks for it! OK I'll stop venting--wish my Acer would do some venting...

Agree on the nutty constraints, but the point is unlike the A700, no tweaking or modding is needed to get the device to work without issues. I have a TF300 and the iPad 3. Also had the A510, but did not like the heat. Was hoping the A700 was better, but same big battery to have to get around. Looks like Acer should have made the battery a little smaller to afford a better heat dissipation solution.

As far as the A700, the most common complaint is not so good touch response. I would be more concerned with that.
