[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
I've noticed ever since I've upgraded to ICS (could be completely irrelevant of the upgrade.. but I never noticed it before today) that using the Camera on my HTC Amaze has these really faint dark bands.. they are only really noticeable on a solid-color surface in low lighting..

It's very obvious when taking the pictures (on the screen/viewfinder, because I can see them remain static as I move the camera around)

I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if it's a sudden defect in my phone's CCD.. I pay for insurance but the lines/bands are so faint and barely noticeable that it's hard to justify $130 to fix this... It just seems so weird because I take such good care of my Amaze.

I've tried restarting the phone, I've tried different camera apps, I've tried adjusting settings manually (resolution, ISO, etc) they appear in all. They also appear in videos. I've tried cleaning the sensor both with the case on and off, no change.

Here are some examples of said "bands". I have no 'control' pictures to show but these are all pictures of a solid color surface.. they are very faint but definitely noticeable once you've noticed them.. it's really annoying and I can't figure out what the problem could be.

I've done extensive searching.. tried multiple keywords "bands" "faint black lines

really can't find any information about this problem, only thing I've found is a couple of threads on other forums for digital cameras.. but nothing that could help me solve this.

I know they are really really faint, but it's very noticeable on the screen when taking pictures of anything solid now, and in low lighting.

So, anyone have any idea? I could shoot for a replacement, but I'm just not sure if I'm willing to spend $130 when most pictures turn out just fine.

I'd also like to add that I rooted the phone and it's unlocked so I'm weary of going for the warrenty replacement (the phone is only a couple of months old). I'm afraid if I do a warrenty replacement with T-Mobile that HTC will come back with it being unlocked and not under warranty, and I'll have a $450 charge from T-Mobile waiting for me... if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing (utilizing warranty through T-Mobile's program with a rooted/unlocked phone) please let me know. I understand that T-Mobile will send you a replacement, while returning the phone to HTC.. but that's about it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
don't like to reply to my own posts but I take it nobody else has/is experiencing this issue? I keep thinking it's 'normal' for low light/solid color situations, but I'd really like to know if others experience the same thing.. if i'm being too picky?

If it's a faulty sensor i'd really like to start the process of getting a replacement, just curious, anyone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gurpe:
I don't know if this helps, but I don't have that issue with my camera. Using stock app + modified .xml (eliminates compression adding quality)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
Damn. Good to know, thanks.

Looks like something is up with the sensor then :( Really sucks.. still torn between going for the replacement ($130 deductible) or just keeping it.. you can't see it on ANY pictures, really.. only noticeable when looking at solid color surfaces in low lighting.. ugh

decisions decisions

Going to try and throw Android Revolution or EnergyROM and see if that changes anything.. but I doubt it ;/
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gurpe:
I think the question you have to ask yourself is "How often will I take pictures where there's a predominant solid color?"

If that would be, I'd say rarely. Then I would keep the phone.

Hi guys,

I managed to flash CM9 with the help of some people on these forums :D.

However, now i would like to restore some system apps from the stock ICS app, which i loved. For example, I downloaded the .apk for the Xperia Gallery, and I've moved it into System/Apps/, and set the permissions. However, i cannot seem to load it. I've also wiped the dalvik cache.

How do i run the Xperia Gallery?

THANKS!!! :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrModMan:
it would of been easier if you used Titanium Backup instead... this is what you can do

-download ES file explorer > find the .apk in your SD card, where ever you put it > install it and load it
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaarcsnoob:
The thing is becuase it is a system app, whenever i try install it, it will say "application not installed".
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
u cannot use some stock apps as these apps requires sony supporting files,which can only be found on stock roms..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaarcsnoob:
Damn... :(

Is there any other way to get Xperia Gallery back?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrModMan:
go back to stock rom...

Hi guys,

Im sorry but I'm back with another question (not again -_-"). I was just wondering, How do I change the default app for viewing images on my CM9 flashed android? I've got another app for viewing images and it is set to default, unless, i open images through the camera app :(

Help will be greatly appreciated!!! :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpith.fbi:
go to settings..apps..then look for that default app...open it and "clear default"..tats it..next time when u open an image,phone will ask u to select an app out of 2 or 3...tick mark on make default and select that app..tats all
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] link-in:
here download the gallery from here.

it works

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sea...42/SemcGallery3D.apk/download?use_mirror=nchc
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaarcsnoob:
But in cyanogenmod 9, for some reason there is no "All" apps section, so i can only open apps that i have download. SO I cant open the stock Gallery and clear it's default :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaarcsnoob:
That also has the same problem :(

Thanks for reply though :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adramalech707:
Okay so I am having a most difficult time with getting Final Fantasy III installed on my i717 Note. I am running team perfection's UCLF5 4.0.4 ROM and have had no problems on my Note with installing or purchasing applications from Google Play. I have tried installing it multiple times and this is what happens:

When I go to download Final Fantasy 3, about ~180MB, it will complete downloading and start to install and then say "Insufficient storage." I have researched around and saw some fixes and have tried them all to no-avail. I have tried deleting all application's cache to gain space. Integrating system applications into ROM from Titan Backup. I have moved non-essential applications to a 32GB external sd. I have tried clearing RAM through Task Manager, the RAM is ~350MB utilized. Checking to see if it is Play store related, I have downloaded other applications most notably being Shadowgun after the initial FF3 download and installation failed. I have transferred all my games and big sized applications to the external sd card as well.

I have checked the following directories with Root Explorer and they all show substantial unused space:

/data 441.43MB used, 1.54GB free.

/sdcard 1.33GB used, 9.51GB free.

/system 827.52MB used, 180.38MB free.

Under settings->storage

internal storage: (Total space 1.97GB)
Apps 356MB used, and 1.54GB available.

USB Storage: (Total space 10.84GB)
Apps 1.45GB used,
Pictures and Videos 55.09MB used,
Audio 256KB used,
Downloads 5MB used,
MISC. 3.34GB used,
and available 9.51GB free.

SD Card: (Total space 29.23GB)
Available 25.89GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adramalech707:
Okay well digging deeper I found that it might just be overfilling the cache...so I moved it to the external sd card and symbolically linked it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329994

And that didn't work. Went into CWM Touch and wiped Dalvik cache and cache still have the problem.

So any other ideas would be greatly appreciated...

So at night time when I'm texting the buttons at the bottom are too bright and hurt my eyes, how do I turn them off and what are they even called?

They are called capacitive buttons, and many mode deal with them. My favorite is leedroid tweaks which has many other great features.

For cm9 you can use the app called ScreenFilter. There's an option, which could enabled/disable the capacitive buttons.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ub3rst4r:
I was just out camping where I had very faint cell phone reception (ie: I would get 1 bar and then it would go out). I was looking at getting a cell phone signal booster for my Samsung Galaxy S2 X but I am confused on which one to get. I was looking at the Wilson cell phone booster but most of them say "Except Nextel/iDEN and 4G", so does that mean it won't work with my Samsung Galaxy S2 X? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] harrenb:
No it will work but it only boosts 3g/EDGE and voice connections so you will be able to make a call and send txt messages but not alot of data usage.

Hey guys, I flashed to the latest ICS leak from designgears, and after this I am have very bad battery life. I am now using the galaxy s3 rom from remf4i.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1730645

Using CPU spy I see that my phone has been on for 10:05:26

1512 MHz 1:21:26 13%

384 MHz 07:22 1%

192 MHz 6:38:49 65%

Deep Sleep 1:50:58 18%

I barely used my phone today. Maybe sent around 20 text's and no calls. I don't have any apps, I am using the stock rom. The only app I have downloaded is Quick Settings to link my notification and ring volume sliders.

Why is the phone not going into deep sleep? Ive noticed that a lot of time today it hasnt had signal, and this was the same thing with the latest leak. Maybe my phone is constantly looking for signal and that is causing problems. What can I do to resolve this? My phone always feels hot, and has bad battery!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Bad reception is gonna murder your battery. Try different radios.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geoldr:
I must have a bad flash. After flashing the official modem, 90% of my signal is gone. And when it is available, its only on 4g. Even though I am in a full bar LTE area.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
Has anyone been getting the bug where all the icons and display on the screen disappears? I've been getting it since the last two updates. Only remedy is a reboot for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
on the default launcher correct? try resetting the launcher data
[Eee Pad Transformer General] v8code:
do you mean completely disappear or where the proper icon gets replaced with the green droid? Since the last couple of updates I get the latter a lot. A reboot brings them back for a while but they randomly revert back a few days later. Its only a random few and not all icons and it doesn't matter if they are in a folder or on their own.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] metaldood:
Yes happens to me as well with Nova Launcher. Reboot is only option.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sidneyk:
The only thing that I see is that after a reboot, the icons appear for a bit and then they disappear for a minute or so while the OS finishes booting up. Once, Android is fully loaded they come back and are fine. I observed this with Revolver after iCS update and now the same on Gummy. I haven't seen any other weird icon issues. Revolver is using the stock launcher and Gummy uses Apex.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Taomyn:
Yup I get it often as well, another symptom of Asus/nVidia being incapable of correcting the OpenGL errors in the Tegra 2 libraries we're having to suffer with. Look in the system log when it happens and you'll see dozens of OpenGL memory errors etc

They've only had since February to fix it :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psinno:
It is weird that I haven't had any problems like this at all. At the very start of ICS I used to have some problems with icons disappearing but they always returned when I touched the screen. I kinda assumed Transformers were pretty uniform hardware wise but maybe there is more variety than I assumed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hongkongtom:
icon disappear is happening on mine too.(since last two updates, but the last update made it worse ), hadn't have it on NOVA launcher, too bad
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bmszabo:
Same problem here, both with default launcher and Pro launcher; killing the launcher app in settings/apps solves the issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cynaru:
I also get it often. That and SOD, I want to sell this thing pretty bad but I'm still not annoyed enough. I'm hoping a fix is coming soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
I know there are other threads out there about this subject, but figured I would bring it here to the Razr threads.. Who would like to help me get S Voice working on the Razr? I installed the zip that I got at another thread and it doesn't work 100% yet (likes to hang on stuff...)

I'm still not an experienced Android hacker/coder, but would be willing to help out one if they wanted to take part in this project..

I do have Linux command line experience, run Linux, and have had a few years of webOS hacking :) So I'm not a total newb to the game lol

Let me know if you would be interested in helping me with this :)

Thanks,

[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
After a few reboots, S Voice is working better. On Board mic has not worked since install though, Bluetooth works fine..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] O_G:
Moved To General​

As this contains no development.​
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
I fixed the issue with the mic not working, seems to be an issue on my end and nothing to do with S Voice.. Only thing left that I can think of before we can call this 100% working, is changing it from launching only stock apps, to the apps that you set as stock (I.E. Google Voice for texting, whatever you have set for calling, etc.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucas.scott:
Certain things like saving alarms and memos and such will not work unless you have the corresponding clock and memo apps from SGS3.

Really its not worth it. Aokp and cm will have jellybean merged within the month more than likely.Google Now does everything s voice does but way better.

I used s voice for a few days and was disappointed. Give it a few weeks and just use Google Now :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
Do you really think that it isn't worth it? Granted, I've yet to use Google Now, but I really like S Voice.. And I think it would only take minor changes to change the path of the app launched for things like that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucas.scott:
I really think its not worth it at this point. Its more or less just a themed Vlingo with system app access (to sammys system apps).

Wait a few weeks and run Google Now ( or read over this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749045). They have GoogleNow running on ICS but i think it has something not working last i checked.

I SHOULD have a modded Svoice that me and some people here at xda worked on when i had my Razr. Worked just fine other than saving alarms and memos. Ill look and see if its still in my dropbox and link here if it is.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
The Google Now that they have working is missing voice recognition (something about it being Jelly Bean specific kernel stuff) and that's the only thing keeping me from using it.. The only thing :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucas.scott:
Ah. Yeah that's a major setback.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
S Voice also gave me network error. It would be awesome if you have one that actually works.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Serious_Beans:
So if you use Apex and possibly other launchers you can set the home key action to recent apps when at the home screen. Don't know how useful it is for everyone but I find it more useful than having to hold on to it at the home screen. Just found it interesting.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] delao13:
Agreed. Wish Go launcher would do this.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wideasleep1:
On Nova, a long-press of the Home button does this and it must be default since I don't recall setting it up that way. I love it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Serious_Beans:
That's default of touchwiz.... :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jvoisin:
Actually, default settings in apex appear to be show previews with a short press of home and show recent with a long press.. been using the long press for a while now.. and the previews is kinda neat as well..

you can also set gestures for the apex actions button too. I have the app drawer on the bottom of the screen but if I swipe up from it, it changes to the default screen..

there are lots of neat tweaks I am slowly finding.. Very impressed with this over my old iphone4...

So much good information on this forum.. keep the info flowing! :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elvenlemming:
Yeah, system default is that long-press of home button brings up recent apps. In Nova settings you can make it so Home button brings you to default screen when you're on any other screen, or opens up the recent apps if you press home while on the default screen.

In Gestures and Buttons in settings, set Home Button action to Recent Apps, then check the Only on Default Screen setting.

Simple write up for now...simplicity is the key here....

and let me explain first what I did...flashed a rom using rogue recovery on Caulkins ICS 1.6 I think...

things I tried and did not work...

*zimage script for windows copied went through...but did not work considering system was M.I.A. and SU wasnt present to finish the job...

*hold down button does not bring you into download mode as expected...

HOWEVER...if it seems all you can manage to do is boot into the rogue recovery and the sd cards and backups are all whacky...then you my friend still have a option....use ADB COMMANDS while connected in recovery mode...

adb reboot download

and your phone should now be in download mode...

p.s.-if this has been covered already please disregard and be on your way i suppose...otherwise if this has helped you please hit the thanks button XD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Don't think this will work from a hard brick.

why is this in development? and how is that different than pulling the battery and reinserting it and holding vol down + power?

this is in the stickies and super basic knowedge...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rrockstar.kidd:
mmk

everyone must have MISTAKEN ME...

I COULD NOT...to save my life get into download mode via holding vol down button...nor would it boot...

nor am I a noob at any of this...

there was nothing on the phone but a borked recovery...

the one from ics roms (rogue I think) ...I did the stupid and flashed a rom while using rogue...

and wiped...my phone completely bricked...

no download no nothing...

took me a hour...but then I realized as long as there is recovery I should still have adb.

and yes it actually took in odin...my phone is been running perfect stock for last couple of days now...

downloaded modem and data.img with no problems...

sorry I wasn't quick on the reply but guys come on...

I know the sticky is there...this was a complete different situation than anything I seen in the sticky...

and also putting anything on SD card and trying to either flash or restore would not work seeming the sd cards in the recovery are backwards...emmc reads sd card...and vice-versa...

so thanks for the know-it-all guys who didn't read saying I COULDNT GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE and I wouldnt of posted it if it didn't work....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rrockstar.kidd:
like stated above go to settings< applications< development< usb debugging check on

if that still doesn't work...then I suggest checking to see if the proper drivers are installed.
