[HTC One X] richardddd:
Hi,

I think my promixity is having issues. Screen goes dark as soon as I make a call even though the phone isn't close to my ear. Downloaded an app called androsensor and my promixity sensor shows 0cm constantly there.

Is there anyway to solve this? :/ It is kind of hard to make phone calls without the sensor working properly. I can se the light but it is always on even when im not in call after it's been started...
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
You wouldn't have recently fitted a screen protector? I had a cheap one cause this.

If this is not the case, then take a screen shot of the 0cm reading and e-mail it to HTC and see what they recommend. It may be you have a faulty sensor and it needs a warranty repair.

It would fall under hardware fault so you should still be ok if you have unlocked bootloader.
[HTC One X] richardddd:
No i dont use a screen protector :( Could someone please pull the HTC Funtion test app and send it to me?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Supovitz:
It seems like the comic sans of the phone world to me. Its rounded and ugly. The power button is awkwardly placed on top. The genius button is useless. The other buttons (home/menu/back) shouldn't be tactile buttons at all, are we going backwards? (I guess some of you like it..) the only features I actually like are the front facing camera, and the Alt/Shift indicator lights on the hardware keyboard. And don't get me started on the camera LEDs. There's TWO of them, they should be ten times brighter, when I'm fumbling around at night id like a strong flash light in my pocket. Is it absolutely nessecary to have that ugly appauling "8mp camera" nonsense on the battery door? Gah. I'm literally buying a powermat and the appropriate battery door just so I don't have to look at that eyesore. The whole experience just seems cheap. I guess I'm just butt hurt that my G2 kicked the bucket and I was forced into this phone.

Anyone else? Sorry for my rant.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] silverton:
I am with you 100% on this statement. I hate this phone. I fear I'm going to have to stray from HTC... and I don't like that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yes I hate my doubleshot with a passion.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] toadpole:
Come on, it's not that bad. I quite like it, it's been about a year or so now, I'm getting used to it. Some of the drawbacks you mentioned can be fixed by looking around on XDA. I miss my G2 at times, but still, I'm fairly happy with the Doubleshot, apart from the fact that HTC kind of skimped on RAM, and that it'll never see stock ICS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
still best in its category

I just don't get how people complain about this phone.

Sliders are becoming obsolete (HTC has said they are not making any more).

Let's look at it objectively. If you have this phone it means you wanted a slider and are on T-Mobile (or you got it as a replacement for an older slider that broke - then you really lucked out not having to pay for an upgrade!).

I personally bought it brand new 6 months ago for $370 (no tax or shipping) and use it with Simple Mobile's $40 everything (2.5G) plan.

For that moderate cost I am getting the perfect form factor (in my opinion) just a little too heavy. A good dual core processor, above average camera, decent screen and a sliding keyboard.

While I wouldn't have minded a slightly larger screen, this is really the best of both worlds. I leave my screen locked in portrait most of the time and it is a great size for one handed use. Then I can slide out the keyboard (mine has decent feedback, the keys are very legible, and Blue made a zip to turn the menu etc keys into direction keys) and type two handed or just use it in landscape for browsing etc. It is also easy to turn the genius button into a regular search button.

I love the track pad (and track pad wake), the fact that I can go directly to camera with shutter button (which many phones lack altogether) and also unlock by sliding open the phone.

As for ROMs I just left ICS splashed to CM9 ICS Alpha 5 and am having a great time.

I have 2 Anker batteries and charger which cost about $28.

What more could you ask for? In fact - liking the slider - where could I go from here?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] silverton:
I biggest, and really only, qualm with the phone is the keyboard itself.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Supovitz:
The G2/Desire Z has all those features. Slide, shutter button, ect. When mine finally died (the ribbon cable inbetween the screen and keyboard slideout worn out from sliding) I did my research and was excited that there was a dual-core out there with similar/better specs.

I went from the G1, to the G2 and now the MT4GS and there's a clear difference. I think HTC dropped the ball with overall quality with this one.

Sent from my Motorola Razr
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Well, by default it turns your device into a hands free object - paired with a bluetooth headset you can do anything with your phone while it's in your pocket.

I don't like nor use the genius function, and so in my rom changed what the key does to the default search function it usually is on a smart phone.

You could do the same with yours, and swap out the function of the button to anything else you want.

This was a bonus for me, I don't like the flat keys on the screen, but rather prefer the tactile feel of the button press. The LG knockoff of this device has the flat buttons and i'm glad HTC went with the choice they did. Yea, count me in the 'like it' camp :p

This is controlled directly from within the kernel source. Making it brighter is simply changing one variable and compiling - you can go as bright as you want.

Buddy of mine has an HTC inspire, and we noticed his flashlight was brighter by a little bit, and he was getting all "finally found something my phone does better then you" for a bit - well, I found the line in kernel source that determines that and tweaked it.

Hah, it was so funny, we were in a garage one night and needed a flashlight, so of course he pulled his out and started talking smack on mine to the other two of our friends there. He told me to pull mine out and show them, and I refused a couple of times, until he started talking smack on me for not showing them.

Fine, I said, and pulled it out. I tapped the flashlight app, and you'd think the damn sun just came up and fell on the driveway behind us. It was pretty funny and I was giggling about it for a couple of weeks. Now I just harass my friend over his flashlight :D

Sorry to hear that man - it doesn't matter what you were given, if it wasn't another G2 you'd hate it, and find reasons to hate it, because you weren't through yet with a device you had come to love.

I get it, and feel for you.

Definitely hold onto the slide, it'll grow on you and you'll find you really like it - but in the meantime, why not look into finding a cheap used G2 to help you make the transition?

I am sure you could find one that's in good shape for not too much money if you hunt around a little, craigslist and ebay and such - might even find someone floating around XDA with one to sell.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
The only thing I really "hate" about this phone is the fact that it's not going to get ICS. Why is Google standing for HTC just giving up on an Android phone like that? The specs are comparable to anything released today. I just don't get it.

Keyboard is not that great, sure, but nothing that conjures hatred aside from the ICS stuff.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Supovitz:
This is exactly how a dissagrement post should look like. Thanks for being civil and expressing your opinion in a humorous manner. :highfive:

I have my Genius button remapped to instantly power off my device. and I knew there had to be some way to increase the brightness, I'll have to do some more digging. heh. :fingers-crossed: Thanks bro!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mike102871:
I too am not overly happy with the mt4gs. This is the replacement i was offered for my G2. The keyboard isnt as nice or it just takes some getting used too. BUT...... Im moving on. Asurion called me about an hour ago to follow up on the replacement phone. After i politely told them i was not happy with it, i was asked what they could do to fix this. I asked them if i could swap the phone for something different. He made a few offers of phones i was not familiar with. Then I asked about the amaze or sensation, he seemed to lean away from the sensation. I settled on the amaze, but did ask about the new s one. He said that would be too much of an upgrade to try and do. So my amaze will be here tomorrow.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
My dev computer is a couple hundred miles away in another state, but if I remember right it's in arch/arm/mach-msm/board-doubleshot.c

Somewhere there is a block of code that deals with flash leds, should be [0] and [1] to represent both led lights. You will be able to set the max brightness.

The stock battery issues with this device are the reason HTC was conservative, maybe overly so, with every line of code on this device. Everything is programmed well under spec.

Pretty sure that was the only code you have to mess with, been a while, but that should be it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Ok so I'm in that file and in reference to flashlight all I'm seeing is a 1. Also I see a .low_cap-limit 30 is that battery power the flash for camera cuts off at
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I got curious and pulled the original source release - in that file around line 3039 (as far as gedit says, anyways) is the block I was thinking of.

Not sure with the most current source release, I haven't caught up yet. This little netbook I picked up for small stuff on the road bigger then the phone can handle would melt if I tried to compile, so haven't pulled that from HTC yet - it may be different in the most current source release.

Here is what I was looking at:

static struct pmic8058_led pmic8058_flash_leds[] = {
[0] = {
.name	= "camera:flash0",
.max_brightness = 15,
.id	= PMIC8058_ID_FLASH_LED_0,
},
[1] = {
.name	= "camera:flash1",
.max_brightness = 15,
.id	= PMIC8058_ID_FLASH_LED_1,
},
};

Edit:

I had printed out every .c file in mach-msm to physical paper and read it like a book when kernel source was released, so I have little remnants of everything floating around in my head - i just looked back at the file and saw what you meant about the flashlight reference. In this case, though, the intensity for the light was covered around the camera stuff, guess they thought it would be easier that way.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Ok so I just found them. Would 30 be an increase there
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Appogee:
Personally I loved my G2. Great phone, aesthetically awesome. Great quality, besides the spring slide issue. BUT. I have to say although there are some places I would prefer improvement on the MT4GS. It's not a bad phone.

It is a slide for one, maybe keyboard wise not as good as the G2 but still. A slide nonetheless which there are little Android devices that still keep the feature. Another thing? It's a dual-core, certainly not a huge deal but still it'll keep the phone in the game for quite a bit. Uses the S3 with the Adreno 220 which are more than capable CPU and "GPU" in their own regard. Both hold up to the specs of the G-Note.

IDK, maybe that's me but we have many capable devs working hard on ICS, certainly not stock ICS but still ICS nonetheless. Hopefully HTC releases a One series version that will replace the G2 or the MT4GS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Some_dude36:
I love this device . I always liked the mytouch line my favorite was the MT4G but this phone is excellent . Ive dropped it soooo many times and it keeps on going . The wider focal length of the camera makes for great pictures . the only thing I dont like is the keyboard and the lack of feedback when a button is pushed.

other than that? Doubleshot is great . Im not going to buy another phone till this one dies
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] 2G1J:
I got the phone as a replacement for my G2 after I went through 4 or 5 of them in a month. The MT4GS isn't a bad phone, but I liked the G2 more. I'm actually thinking about selling this phone and just buying a Galaxy Nexus from Google.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I came from a G1, so this phone is epic. But after working for a connection center, I was spoiled. I've used almost every phone that's came out within the last 18 Months. WinPhone, BlackBerry, iOS, etc.... So I grew to dislike this phone, but not hate it. But it's the only good QWERTY. So I stay with it, I need a QWERTY. Sure the G2 has a nice KB, but why do I want do have a slower phone?

Also a side note. After working as assistant manager, and looking at the sales reports. We never sold any Doubleshots in the 18 months I worked there.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Yea, there are no other phones I would rather want than this, even if it doesn't have the best keyboard...

Hello guys.i am showing how u can set tabletUI setup on any phone(even on mdpi,hdpi)

u can mod those statusbar button on any cm7 rom with this tutorial.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1717332

Its very simple to understand.

Best thing about this mod is that its on cm7 rom which is completely bugfree and stable for mdpi phones

I was looking for this kind of thing from long time and atlast I found it and my wish came true.I think this is first tutorial for tabletUi on cm7 base rom in whole forum which works on mdpi devices too.

First of all u must set your LCD density to 140 because its the most suitable resolution for tabletUI.

Here are shots from my optimus one phone

I used all these apps------

1.Adw launcherEX

2.Widgetlocker

3.Eyefold and sense adw theme

4.Vikasb32 green ics theme

5.Es file explorer

6.Uber music player

7.Opera browser

8.Quicpic

9.Multipicture live wallpaper

I tried all the launchers to mod for tabletUI but ads launcherEX is best with tonnes of customization features

How to make it work on your phone---

1.set LCD density to 140

2.I used 7 columns and 5 rows in.homescreen of adw launcherEX.

3.Also stetted page horizontal margin to 10 in app drawer

4.remove dockbar from launcher

5.check fullscreen option in app drawer

6.in launcher appdrawer setting select 3 rows and 6 columns

7.using bookshelf transition animation

8.locked launcher in landscape mode

9 must try different animation of multipicture live wallpaper.they are just awesum

10.use widgetlocker to have honeycomb clock and lock on lockscreen and force lockscreen to landscape mod

11.change the background of es file explorer to white and folder colour as yellow n its setting.

12.change the background of quicpic as light in its preferences.

13.Check fullscreen option in opera if u feel that you are not able to browse properly

14.rest u can see and make out from above shots.

15.if u want same wallpaper as In my homescreen,download from below post

When u mod according to above tut,u will really feel that you are using a android tablet.

Give your views and what do u guys think of it.if u have some queries,u can ask me without hesitation.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
This is the 1st ROM I developed/cooked

It is based on official B572G Release so it's Gingerbread 2.3.5

The ROM follows a K.I.S.S philosophy trying to have almost no extra apps installed so you can build your system around your needs

Let's see what changed:

Changes:

1) Changed Default Launcher to Zeam

2) Removed a lot of apps from Huawei and left only the essential ones(install everything else you need from PlayStore or by installing apk files from other roms)

3) Changed Default CPU Governor to SmartAssV2

4) updated hosts file(no more ads) and gps.conf (for europe usage)

5) Added Volume Rocker Wake

6) Unlocked FPS & Root Permissions(of course :P )

7) Removed some audio files from the media folder to save space

8) Added init.d & build.prop tweaks(some of them may not work,but they don't have any side effect in the system so I left them there on purpose)

9) Changed Camera & Settings Icon to look like ICS (thanks to Pikachukaki for his great guide in replacing .png files in apk files)

10) Patched libsqlite.so

11) HDR function enabled on camera(well this actually is included in number 8 cuz it's a build.prop tweak :P )

12) Fast Boot Option is removed (again a build.prop tweak)

I have also made some little tricks here and there in the cust.img so make sure before flashing the ROM that you have a working backup and/or a backup of the cust.img

I edited the cust.img and removed all extra apps and module files there,and also changed the default language to english because without this the ROM would boot the 1st time in chinese

If you don't want to flash my cust.img that is in the .zip file simpy delete it from there

If you flashed and you want your old cust.img back simply boot into pink screen and replace it with you cust.img backup

There is no side effect from the cust.img change except that you will lose swype,huawei ime(I prefer the basic android keyboard anyways) and also the Totem Weather Widget

Installation:

Do the following in any order

-------------------------------------------------

Wipe data/factory reset

Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache

Mounts & Storage-> Format system

--------------------------------------------------

Now flash the .zip file

Reboot

Enjoy!

Everything is working in this ROM (because it's based on official B572) except TV-OUT of course

Anyway.Tell me what you think of my 1st work on android.

Happy Flashing :)

Screenshoots added!

Note that the screenshoot app and es file explorer that you see in the 2nd image aren't present when you first install the ROM.You have to install them from play store

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
hmmm. That is a personal opinion. I like cm7 more due to the power widget,screen on/off animation etc

But if someone wants an official huawei gingerbread ROM(official for U8800+, not a port from honor e.g kalo) then this should be a good choice.

get these: http://www.mediafire.com/?z6da8r2ox4kr7a7

I tried 5-6 times already ...

Or the minimum is 10 times ;)

do you try to extract from phone or from pc? if yes with which program? try with 7zip just to make sure

p.s. downloaded the file twice and I got no errors really :)

Can you fix your Release? (CyanogenMod 7.2 (By Moihack)

And there are no such things:

1. GoogleContactsSyncAdapter

2. GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter

3. Gmail

To put it all in, as you should be?

And post it back here!

Please!

And if you can try to put this App inside if you can of course!!! Sound recorder from MIUI...looks like old tape :)

Thanks in advance!

Sorry my friend but no... School keeps me really busy this year and I don't have the patience to wait for the upload to end while changes are only these small things. However I can help you include them in a personal cm7.2 .zip of yours and flash it correctly ;) If want a how to p.m. :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
This is a ROM I made by cooking the latest Geno's CyanogenMod (4/06/2012) so it's Gingerbread 2.3.7

I tried to make the ROM as small I could (size is 60 MB only) and build the system around your needs by leaving only the essential apps there

I also applied some fixes to the ROM

Changes:

1) Home Button Works (Changed Geno's Kernel in the boot.img with an older one)

2) Soft Touch Buttons light properly (like number 1)

3) All Chinese Apps Removed

4) Added Some Apps(ZeamLauncher,Play Store,WallpapersChooser,Music)

5) Changed Default CPU Governor to SmartAssV2 and Default IO Governor to DeadLine

6) Added Some init.d tweaks

7) Removed Lots of Audio files from media folder to save space

8) Updated hosts file(no more ads in apps) and gps.conf(optimized for europe,although I didn't tested it)

9) Added Root Permissions

Known Issues:

ROM starts with GPS enabled by default,remember to turn it off after installation

Calculator scrolling is slow. This is a general AOSP gingerbread issue for stock calculator app. Even a nexus s lags when scrolling to advanced panel in calculator (tried this personally).

Theme Support is still there,but there is no extra theme included in order to save up space.Just install any .apk theme and then apply it from theme chooser/manager.

TV-OUT doesn't work.

Installation:

Do the following in any order

-------------------------------------------------

Wipe data/factory reset

Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache

Mounts & Storage-> Format system

--------------------------------------------------

Now flash the .zip file

Reboot

Enjoy!

Well test it out,and tell what you think!

Happy Flashing :)
