[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gust30:
What did you do to fix it? I used the Odin 5.0.2.7 with "reboot" unchecked and battery pop. I'll search for the other method and see if that is better.

Thank you

EDIT: I pushed Mkasick's patch using Odin and then pushed 5.0.2.7 using Odin just to be sure. I can boot into CWM 5.0.2.7 just fine. I can find the Prerooted-stock-FC09 zip and it says Install from SD card successful. I go to reboot the phone and I do not get the Samsung screen or anything else. I only get the capacative buttons to light up and the keyboard if I slide it out. I am at such a loss here. Does anyone live near Gulf Breeze, Fl that I can bring my phone to? haha
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
Is there a trick to get the Nexus Q to play movies? I downloaded the Nexus Q app on my N7 but when I try to stream TF3, all I get is a constant spinning circle & then get the "there was a problem while playing" error message. And to top it off, I didn't get a HDMI connector with my Q.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
NM, finally got it to work. I had to reboot both the N7 & NQ before it started to play movies. Now I need to get speakers for it. Daym you Google!
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjdwowh:
Speakers are so expensive! I just decided to go with a digital optical cable and my old home theater DVD system :D
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrguna:
Can you stream videos you have on the N7? Like videos made with the camera or video files you have on the table?
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikot:
no just google play movies for now. I set mine up HDMI to the TV, optical from TV to surround sound.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrguna:
Well, in that case there's no point in buying one. I live in Portugal, so I only have Google Music (hacked). If it could stream all the contents from the phone, it could be a nice substitute to the MediaLink from HTC.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikot:
yeah, there isn't if you don't live in america or want to invest in playstore. I bought mine for the possibilities...You can always side load media sharing apps.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrguna:
Yes, but for that I think I'll choose a cheaper alternative or wait to see if the price drops.

[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
When ever I drive, I have my phone hooked up to my Escort Red Line radar detector and my car's stereo via bluetooth (both). In order for me to use the radar detector effective, I need to have GPS and Blueooth enabled. This is a HUGE SUPER OMG battery drainer for my amaze. 20 minutes drive kills about 35% of the phone's power. My radar detector offers a slot to charge my phone BUT it still drains, not enough juice flowing in. Someone said it is because it's probably a .5amp.

So I am running a extension from the 12v lighter that's in the trunk to the front of my car. Amazon has a generic 2.1amp for 3 bucks.

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Heavy...121&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+amaze+car+charger+amp

But on ebay, I found the original HTC car charger for 15 bucks which is a 1amp.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Amaze-4...918506?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c867022a

What do you guys recommend? My logic says go for the 2.1amp, the phone will draw as much as it needs from it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] soundping:
The 1amp.

Anything higher you'll damage the phone or the battery.

A wall plug power supply or a usb supply is 5.0v/1amp.
[HTC Amaze 4G] thejrp:
The 2.1 amp is probably 1 amp per port. Although it does not seem to specify.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nyc_tdi:
Right!:good:

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

That means a higher capacity battery (more current NOT MORE VOLTAGE) will damage the phone?!!!!:confused:

Totally wrong!

A higher current will not damage the phone. A higher voltage will do it!

Please do not mix the current with voltage!

Voltage is same 5 Volts (±5%) for these “USB like” applications (1A or 2.1A power supply our case )They use USB socket/connector but usually only pin 1 and 4 (+ and-)

Regular computer USB port can supply max 0.5-0.9 A depending on version.

For battery charging devices the current can go to 5A.
[HTC Amaze 4G] soundping:
Higher voltage will trip a warning window telling you to disconnect and use official HTC equipment.

The phone monitors input voltage to protect the equipment.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
and to add to that... unless you take the charger apart and short pins 2 and 3, it will only ever draw 500mA, as it assumes that it is hooked up to a regular powered USB port... I have bought multiple car charger usb adapters, and I have taken all of them apart and soldered the 2nd and 3rd pins together... otherwise charge time = forever, and sometimes it won't even charge if you have wifi or data/gps/bluetooth all going at once...
[HTC Amaze 4G] greatwiseone:
I recently got an Amaze and am generally happy with it. The biggest problem I have right now is finding the right car charger for it because the car charger I previously used (a 1A monoprice car charger) doesn't give it enough charge. I have been reading through the forums and some has been saying that if the charger is not working properly, it will recognize it as charging via USB rather than AC. In my case, the phone seems to be reading it as charging through AC, but there still doesn't seem to be enough current going through it. The phone will only charge if NOTHING is going on (i.e. screen's off, no GPS, etc.). I've been using CoPilot GPS and it draws the battery like crazy. Anyone has any idea as to which car charger would work properly with the Amaze such that I'll be able to charge (or at least maintain the charge) while using it as a GPS? Do I need to go up to a 2.1A charger?
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
I would look for a 4-5 star rated 2.1a car charger on Amazon.

Just read through the comments and feedback and you'll find one that's right for you.

I prefer the USB charger base itself and then using the OEM cable that came with the Amaze.

It seems to charge faster with that cable, at least to me anyway.

Remember though if it's rated 2.1a but has two USB slots that 2.1a will be cut in half if used to charge two different devices.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I couldve sworn we talked about this months ago. Let me see if I can find the thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
you won't get the full 2.1a unless you usee a charge only cable or modify the charger as I stated above...
[HTC Amaze 4G] greatwiseone:
I ended up getting a 2.1A car charger and a USB charge only cable, and it's working perfectly. When I have the screen on full brightness and doing navigation with Co-Pilot GPS, my phone's no longer losing charge and is actually charging. The combo also works with my tablet as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
This is damn helpful! So THAT is why when driving and using gps or whatnot I would always lose more battery even on charger.. So basically I can just solder the middle 2 pins together to trick it into thinking it is being powered like a home charger? No chance it will hurt anything I assume?
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
I have done this to every single one of my USB car chargers... not a single issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] USMCGrunt0307:
I stupidly unrooted and updated my GSII to official ICS update and lost the ability to use wifi tethering. Am I now gonna have to wait for someone to come along and create a rom for the new release that will allow a bypass of the tethering check or are there a couple simple lines in a file somewhere I can change.

Thanks for any info...as it stands, im now stuck working instead of watching netflix on my tethered GTab 10.1 :(

UPDATE: I did some searching around and found that by deleting TetheringManager2.apk in system/app it should allow tethering to go through (I used Root Explorer to do it). Unfortunately, that doesnt seem to work. When I go to enable wifi tethering, the screen goes blank, everything stops responding for about 10 seconds and then it comes back saying settings has stopped responding. So...did I do it wrong or does it look like ATT changed something around with their ICS release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BROKKANIC:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
So, as you all know, FB can't sync its contacts with your phone from ICS to JB, and there's been lots of hacks/apps to allow this. Back when ICS was barely released, HaxSync was one of the only working apps, and also produced high quality pics.

Fast forward to today, I can't use HaxSync to sync FB contacts, only to sync my Calender. Is this because HTC Sense already implements FB sync? Or is there another reason why it doesn't work? Will provide screenshots if it helps.

Also, reason I want HaxSync instead of the Sense FB sync is because HS produces very high reso pics, Sense produces some very pixelated images, which are made worse by the 720p display.

Any help is appreciated and thanked!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
Nvm, fixed it. Had to freeze "Facebook for HTC Sense". Seems this part of Sense kept interfering with allowing HaxSync download/sync my contacts.

Used Titanium Backup Pro in case anyone was wondering.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] funkswing:
Does this allow you to have high res contact pictures when receiving phone calls?

Also, does HS sync your fb profile pics everywhere in the phone? Ie, messaging app, contacts, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
No high res yet, there's a compatibility issue with sense.

But yes, they show up everywhere, including apps that aren't Sense based, like Go SMS or Ex Dialer. This is the main reason I use HS, because if you sync the contacts directly through Facebook, they only show up in Sense apps.

When the first Android phone came out, the stock recovery let's you flash an ota update manually but only accepts a file called update.zip

Till now the stock recovery is the same way, so cwm still has this 'feature', flash update.zip or install zip is all the same.

Sorry for posting in general section but i do not have the necessary permissions to post in dev section yet.

Over here in europe i (and some others too) am experiencing force close issues of com.android.phone if i chose any input language other than english or spanish. What sounds odd is nevertheless reproducable. If any other language than enlg/span is set, i cant go into setting/mobile settings without getting a message "com.android.phone was ended". Consequently settings cant be edited. Only workaround is switching back to english, edit and then switch back to your native language.

Btw. I flashed cm9-unofficial-solana 3.7.2012 on top of stock ota 906 with safestrap.

Any ideas and solutions are appreciated. Thank you developers for the hard work.

Well i am trying to use a picture as wallpaper but only let me use part of the picture as wallpaper (crop)

Any one knows how to use a full picture!?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
The dimensions of the image have to be 1920x1408, and even then it'll get cropped vertically a little bit.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peahnuts:
It's actually 1920x1280 in ICS.

What I do is just get a 1280x800 wallpaper and increase the canvas size to 1920*1280 with Photoshop and disable wallpaper scrolling & rotation in my launcher. That way nothing gets cropped at all.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Nope. It's 1920x1408. Trust me. I searched long and hard. And if you find a wallpaper site with Android tablet wallpapers for 1280x800 screens, its real dimensions are 1920x1408.

Seriously, get a wallpaper in 1920x1408, and you'll see that you'll crop it a lot less.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peahnuts:

Don't forget that the wallpaper has to scroll in both landscape and portrait mode. It requires a lot of extra wallpaper real estate.

It's real, not myth.. :good:

Before bought this beast, I already now about AMOLED burn in, and already browse tons info about this.

So I'm totally 100% mentally prepared that my >$500 device will suffer burn in too.

(but not that fast.. wow.. :laugh: )

7-10 days, I see that mark (ONLY on *#0*# blue test, and only slightly).

After almost 3 weeks on moderate usage.. just see my pic above.. ;)

Conclusion:

- I'm still happy with this beast..

- It's big but pocketable.

- Screen is very2 nice... and very comfortable for browsing, e-book.. :good:

- As I'm totally prepared for this burn in.. I'm stil okay now. :cowboy:

Just sharing... how about yours?

PS (IMPORTANT!):

DON'T SEEK FOR THIS BURN MARK IF YOU DON'T MENTALLY PREPARED!

OR YOU'LL PISSED OFF, ANNOYED, ANGRY TO SAMSUNG, ETC... :eek:

IF YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR NOTE, JUST LET IT BE.. ;)

I bought mine in November and have been using automatic brightness the whole time. No screen burn so far fortunately. If you want my advice, you should use a launcher like ADW EX Launcher that allows portrait to landscape transitions. Although even with stock touchwiz, if you rotate your phone during browsing or viewing a video, you should be fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tabsterleir:
This may sound ridiculous, but I have read somewhere that running an AMOLED screen with a full white screen at 100% brightness for a few hours actually fixes the burn in. Devs?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gideonrs:
Isn't it for old type LCD, my friend? CMIIW.. :)

:fingers-crossed: actually, there's some method (it's on play store) to reduce/eliminate this.

(note: i've never tried this app, only read in seconds, so i'm sorry if this info is misleading :D )

that app will actually display full-black background & blue bar on status bar location. and you should run this periodicaly, and hopefully it won't show burn mark on status bar again.

So.. actually, that app will degrade the blue sub-pixel on status bar location so it will even with the rest of blue sub-pixel. :laugh:

well, I think (if my interpretation of dev's info is right).. it's just like u said, my friend: "Maybe...the result should be a consistent burn-in over the whole screen^^"

I don't see it on my 6 month old Note which has had a daily 3-4 hour display on time.

I wonder if it's because I sometimes use it horizontally when playing videos? It would be interesting to know if it's reverseable by evening up the burn in?

Or maybe there is a break-in period at the start where it's more susceptible to burning?

No burn-in on my 6 months old Note, and same thing on my 2 years old Galaxy S1 as well. I have a colleague at work with a Galaxy S1 which does have bad burn-ins all over though...

I'm thinking it must be linked to the brightness level you use? I'm on the lowest setting pretty much all the time. I'm assuming your theme / status bar color would also play a role there?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gideonrs:
50% brightness.. :D as lower than that, is not good enough :D .. -I came from LG Optimus 2X & Huawei Mediapad.. both IPS LCD-

Very moderate usage. Standard ROM & Theme.

In my case, I think, it came from web browsing. As most web is white / bright background.

(start today, I browse using Opera without status bar & navigation bar.. as navigation bar location beginning to burn too.. :laugh: wow.. )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tinderbox (UK):
I have been using Go Launcher to hide the status bar, for a couple of months now, also i reposition the widget on the home screen now and then.

I read a thread the other day, about people asking how to keep the display on while using an navigation program, I warned them about burn-in but they did not want to know.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
Best advice I can give you is to use full screen browsing with stock ICS browser or opera mobile. Also make sure you are hiding the Android notification/status bar at the top of you screen use a launcher that auto hides it.

And finally don't use apps that don't have options in their app settings to hide the notification/status bar. Prolonged use with that bar visible will destroy your screen

ICS stock browser has a labs setting to let you go fulll screen

Do an LCD rgb test. I guarantee you have burn out when you go to an all blue screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NiceMrMustard:
Wait, so you have to set up a particular background, under special conditions to see it ?

Which means that even if it happens, you never actually notice it in daily use ? In which case why would you ever care ? I know I don't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
Wrong. Blue degrades fastest but you will see its ghosting effects on any grey or white background. An all blue Screen let's you see how particularly bad the damage is. If you scroll your home screen left to right on a grey or white background you'll see all the ghosting from the burn out.

That's why you should never dock and leave the screen on an amoled device.
