Finally took some time and polished it.

(pics taken with my moms samsung wave3(which I bought her month ago). Fantastic phone but no android and no physical keyboard btw)

The cover was peeling of for like 3 months now but I did not peeld it off before polishing. I just started with 600 and took it all out, then 1200, 2000, 2500 and a lil of polish white... cream or whatever 11 grain.

here are my results. It took like 2 hours of hand polishing. I think I blew it with 600. should have started with 800 at least but it was hard enough to peel rest of the cover with 600 grain sandpaper so ...

here are my shiny results :D:D:D

Its not perfect but it will do :o

As seen on this image, it is not really all that perfect but it's not noticable on first glimpse
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] spooke:
Looks really good! Mine has a few scratches now so I'm gonna go over it and polish it again. :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] biketw:
Cool~

Mine is paring off the coating, I'll try polish it as well.

But it seems easy scratch....

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xudsa II USERT:
Really impressed me a lot spooke, considering the fact that my back cover is completed ridden of the film and full of scratches now :/ (Bad idea by HTC.) I really want to try this, but I have two questions stopping me.

1. If I do this, is it possible to get rid of any fine scratches? E.g. become a total shiny mirror? It'll be a good way to check my hair! (Haha! :D)

2. Should I remove the HTC Logo, otherwise is there a way to do it without scratching the htc logo?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] spooke:
Sorry for the late reply, I don't check this topic much.

If you go from say 400 grit up to 2500 grit - i.e. 600,800,1000 and so on. Then you should get a nice finish - if you also have a machine polisher you can use some metal polish and it should make it look really nice, with the HTC logo my T fell out so I just took the H and C out and cleaned up inside where the glue was.

Hello

I would like my Android device encrypted, as it contains sensitive data. I'm currently on cm-9.0.0-rc1-tinystream-hephappy-p500 (RC1-Rev.B). Now, here is what happened:

- To encrypt internal

I went to Security in System Settings and touched "Encrypt Device". It gave some confirmations and I've accepted them however, now I'm kind of stuck on this screen.

My first thought was "it is encrypting". But after hours of waiting, I wanted to check if it's done already. So I clicked the power-button once (just to unlock) and it asked for my password. I've entered it and it just went into my normal launcher. I've checked if anything had changed and no, my device has not been encrypted. Any logs somewhere? Any ideas what could have caused the problem?

- To encrypt SDcard

I did some research and didn't find something perfectly for my needs. Anyone has any idea on how to encrypt an SD card to properly work together with Android?

Note: I am using LINK2SD.

Thanks for your help

Another question that actually has nothing to do with my previous post that I post here because it's not worth a new thread: every time I plug in my phone into the charger, it boots automaticly. I don't want that, my previous build of CM9 did just recharge without booting, something I prefer. Any way to configure that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Rakoen:
Another question I want to add to the this thread: is it possible to combine a password lock and a slide lockscreen? Like when I encrypt the phone to enter a password to decrypt it again and then just use the normal slide lockscreen to unlock it each time after the decryption?

Hiya!

I have a Neo V/Kyno V (French retail version). I followed the procedure outlaid in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409269 to unlock the boot loader by the unofficial method/test point.

After the unlock I checked values for "RUNNING" and "LOADER VERSION" and they both had a small "r" which should indicate that the unlock worked.

Then I flashed kernel back to 4.0.3, rooted, installed CWM, flashed kernel back to stock 4.0.4 and tried to install a custom ROMs via CWM (Spacious, Smooth & Light 4.0.4 and KA21.1).

In both cases, I got to the Sony-logo when rebooting after the flash, and no further. Waited for minutes but nothing happened. And I couldn't get into CWM either. I could flash the stock ROM using flashtool and start again. I even re-locked the boot loader and unlocked it again, to no avail.

Am I doing something massively wrong? Could it be that the boot loader shows up as unlocked in s1tool but actually isn't?

Thankful for any help.

Cheers,

Ben

did u flashed kernel via fastboot? in console?

No, I used flashtool as per the guide "{Guide} How To Root Xperia™ Smartphone Running ICS or GB ( Ice Cream Sandwich or Gingerbread )" on the Sony Mobile discussion forums (cannot link as I do not have enough posts, sorry.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
If your bootloader is unlocked then you should have directly rooted your 4.0.4 instead of switching the kernels of 4.0.3 and 4.0.4...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
try change kernel for specific ROM.

in example : KA ROM and Spacious need kernel suave or ics stock kernel

@iamdchosen1:

That's what I thought, but then I didn't easily find instruction on how to root *with* unlocked BL, so I went for the standard way with locked BL. Thought that might be a wee bit more complicated but lead to the same result...

@megatpanji:

My kernel version says

I thought I should be on stock kernel (and for the first try I definitely was as I had rooted before updating and somehow kept root and CWM after going to 4.0.4 ICS). If I'm not, I'll try to get to stock and try again.

I am slightly confused. Do I install stock kernel with flashtool or fastboot?

Cheers,

Ben
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
For stock kernel use flashtool!

But I suggest you to flash the whole stock firmware ftf file.. That would automatically restore the stock kernel!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nurunet:
Okay, I succeeded.

Flashed stock 4.0.4 ROM with flashtool

Flashed pre-rooted stock kernel with fastboot (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679771)

Booted into CWM

Installed Spacious, Clean & Light as before

And it works...

Sweet, thanks to you all for all the help!

One thing I do not understand is that my whatsapp message history seems to be gone. And I do not find ES File Explorer that should be pre-installed in SCL.

Hello, guys.

I have a problem. I am from Ukraine and i recently bought my Nokia Lumia 710. At the box there titles in Italy, and there also instruction in Italy. As i understood, there is operator from Italy called tre.it linked with my phone. My microsim [operator - MTS Ukraine] works great. There no problems, but i want to get full-unlock for my phone and i read that it's possibly that after installing custom rom, my phone could ask me for Simlock code. How can i know, will it ask for it or no? And what can i do with it? I am want very much to get full-unlock but i want also use my phone, not to keep in hand device, which doesn't work without this code.

Thanks in advance.

Hey!

I was on Virtuous Affinity (You may say its old but it works good) for almost a week, and I was trying to plug my phone to my PC but the USB window didnt pop up on the phone. I tried some apps but they didnt work. I was going to the recovery to try usb mass storage but it still didnt work. I reverted myphone to the stock Rom, but still not working.

What shall I do?
[HTC Incredible S] husky69:
I'd say this is rather likely to be a hardware problem, not ROM-related.

Just watched a neat nVidia video on the Tegra 3. It has 4-cores and a "companion core". The companion core does all the mundane background stuff and sucks the least juice. The other cores only kick in when needed, like for loading an app quickly, playing a game, etc.

The video was linked in another thread on XDA...just can't remember where.

i'm trying to set a single screen wallpaper on my XE, the size of the pic at the moment is 540x960. but when i try to set the wallpaper it only allows me to get half of the pic, what size should the wallpaper be so when i select it i can choose the whole pic and not half. any good wallpaper apps would also be appreciated. thanks...........................sudeki300
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
It should be about 1080x960 to get the full wallpaper in there.

You can use the GIMP and it's Resize Canvas tool to make white space on the sides of the image to convert the image to 1080x960. If you post the wallpaper or link it, I can do it for you.

Image 2 Wallpaper is on the market and can do it for you, as well.

[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Set Nova and Apex Launcher to not scroll the wallpaper and make sure its cropped right down the center (that resizable rectangle screen) and it should work fine. This wallpaper will not work in landscape mode (apex or nova's auto-rotate feature) cause it'll leave black bars along the side.

Text shouldn't look blurry because I shrunk it from its original size, if anything, it should look crisper. I'm away from my PC right now but I can assist you further later.

[Nexus 7 General] rgunara:
Hi,

Is anybody else having issues with the multitiouch when crossing axis. See below videos from youtube. This looks more like a software issue that will affect all devices. You can test with a multitouch tester app

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz27tAD1IBQ

Edit: Try the test with the tablet laying down on a flat surface and also try holding it on an angle and report results. It seems to be occuring alot when it is flat.
[Nexus 7 General] AZImmortal:
If this is anything like the Nexus One, this is a hardware limitation that can't be fixed. I can't believe that they would use such an inferior multi touch sensor at this time. Even my Galaxy Tab (the first ever Android tablet) has proper 10 point multi touch.
[Nexus 7 General] SimPup:
I ran this a day or so after I got mine and I had that issue but when I run it now it works fine.
[Nexus 7 General] tremblingwater:
just downloaded a multitouch tester app from the playstore and it works fine. I can hit up to 9 fingers before it starts getting weird and slightly jumping about.

I used to have the HTC desire which had the same problem as the Nexus One, that was annoying as hell, but this, so far, is great.

I am on Modaco Rom with a stock kernel.
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:

[Nexus 7 General] rgunara:
i don't have the device yet but after crossing axis, do the two touchpoints work as normal or do they flip i.e the bottom finger movement is causing the top touch circle to move and the top finger movement causing the bottom circle to move? this was an issue on older generation phones
[Nexus 7 General] wsrider:
That is my video. It does flip but flips right back . Its just very erratic. Shows extra touches, flips them and doesnt hold steady ( flashes)

edit

It also happens with more touches aswell. for example 8 then it wont read them at all to i lift them up when i cross axis
[Nexus 7 General] rgunara:
haha thanks for the video. Yeah i thought i would post it in here to see how many people have the issue. So when you say it flips and then flips right back, you mean that it eventually switches back to the correct touch points where it is able to detects your two fingers correctly right?
[Nexus 7 General] zinfinion:
Works fine here in two different multiouch testers. I do get the 180 degree flips in Dead Trigger though so I'm thinking there's something up with the game itself as well.

Edit: It works fine so long as the N7 is held. Flat on its back on a surface and it glitches as shown in the video. Intriguing. Anyone want to do some follow up testing on this?
[Nexus 7 General] StuMcBill:
I get 180 flips on my Galaxy Nexus as well, so I'm guessing it's software!
[Nexus 7 General] wsrider:
As long as the axis aren't crossed it registers my touches correct
[Nexus 7 General] zinfinion:
wsrider: Did you see my edited post about mine only occurring when flat on a surface? I'm curious if yours is erratic while held as well.
[Nexus 7 General] jaroslavj:
It depends on the angle you hold the Nexus7 it starts swapping and getting crazy in one position, but sometimes doesn't.

As zinfinion says, on flat surface it gets buggy for sure. Sometimes in other positions.

Can anyone with KANG CM10 put their nexus7 on flat surface and try to replicate the video?
[Nexus 7 General] wsrider:
confirmed only while flat. held on a angle it doesn't reproduce this

edit still happens while held angled but way way way less then laid flat.

[Nexus 7 General] GrkEngineer:
Anyone see this video yet? First hint of proof that there might be Nexus 7 devices out there without this issue. Just called in for my fourth device. The third had the yellow tint problem, crossing axis problem, and screen separation issue.

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi_lr0XK5rE[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 7 General] dilldoe:
it's a grounding issue, so any solution to ground the device would work.

Put it on your lap

put it on the ground

plug in your headphones put it in your ear

touch the headphone port

hold it

have someone else hold it

plug into your stereo/speakers.

etc...

point is MULTITOUCH STILL WORKS. it's only that 1% of a time when your fingers cross AND device has no path to ground would this occur.

it's not MY idea that features needs to be advertise, it was Draje0. If a brake fails to stop you during a snow storm, does that mean it has to be recalled? I mean it works to stop the car 99% of the time, only just that 1 time. I mean I could've put snow tires on, or a chain, but that involves additional hardware is unacceptable to me

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I believe he has his nexus on the floor, which essentially grounds the device. try it yourself.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Some surfaces are grounded so it's uncertain in this video unless he puts it on the original box that it came in. Also, he's using the tip of his fingertip which is less likely to show the issue than using the fat flat portion of finger.
[Nexus 7 General] AZImmortal:
So it's up to me to find the solution to ground the device? It's as easy as using my tablet on the ground, eh? :rolleyes: Again, I might not be in a position to ground the device easily. If you're fine with the way your device works, then I'm glad for you. Feel free to leave this thread because it's obviously of no use to you. We're here trying to find permanent solutions, not just go out of our way to work around a design flaw, and as far as I'm concerned, all you're doing is trolling.
[Nexus 7 General] GrkEngineer:
Agreed, and for the record, the Google support staff that i've spoken with always can't reproduce the issue and ask that I return the device.

I would actually be OK with living with it on this second device. Really tempted. First device also had a dead spot issue while playing games or using certain apps such as the Netflix UI. The third device was really bad with the screen separation and yellow tint issues. This cross axis issue is really minor and I'm tempted to stay with the second device instead of risking it with a fourth attempt.
[Nexus 7 General] AZImmortal:
You might need to specify to them that they need to rest it on top of a non-grounding surface, like a wooden table. They might also only be using the very tips of their fingers. Like others, I've found that with only light touches, the problem doesn't occur, but it does occur when pressing harder with more of the surface of my fingers touching the screen, so even though it's a hardware defect, they might be able to fix it by adjusting the touch detection in software.

Edit: It looks like the "light touch" fix might depend on the surface as well, so there might not be a true solution. I just tried it on my bed and even with light touches, I was still having the problem. On my wooden table, light touches would stop the problem from occurring.
