[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfrmr:
I don't think there is a patch for that.

I can tell you that I'm using FroyoPro with alfs 08a without brightness problems, I just made a clean install then flashed x8FroyoPro-Alfsv8+AllFixv3.zip.

does the screen go dark like in the 2.1 rom when in 0% brightness and does autobrightness work

brightness control works just fine, autobrightness too, I'm using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Master Melab:
Let me first stress that I want to know if there are any signature checks done on the first stage bootloader—this is different from a locked bootloader. Now, which of the 3.6, 4.0, 4.2, and 5.0 models use hardware-based signature checks and what processors do they use?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alice90:
Can't speak about the other devices, but in the 4.2 version there was no problem running a slightly modified kernel, if there is a signature check in the bootloader, it didn't mind about the init.rc file changed in the kernel. And we successfully run a rooted factoryfs /system image. As I know, still nobody tried to install a custom recovery. The processor on my device is a 1ghz single-core omap3 arm-v7 cortex-a8 cpu with powervr sgx530 gpu.

Edit: I think this thread would be useful for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Nope, most samsung devices come NAND unlocked, so as long as you have root you can write whatever you want to any partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Master Melab:
Being NAND unlocked is entirely different than hardware based signature checks. I know that for Samsung's Galaxy S devices that the very first bootloader cannot contain arbitrary code, but that every level after that can. The absence of a write lock does not mean that the boot ROM does not look for a digital signature.

I think the 4.2 uses an OMAP processor and I ferl that they might have enabled HS on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Master Melab:
Can you verify that a modified bootloader runs on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alice90:
I don't know how to do that. Is it safe?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Master Melab:
I was asking if you knew.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
No, a modified boot loader is the only way to brick these devices completely (no download mode). Yes the in-CPU ROM initial bootloader verifies the signature of the SBL (secondary boot loader). Samsung released (unintentionally) a signed SBL that will load any payload at all, and that is how the unbrickable resurrector works. Normally, the SBL loads a Tertiary boot loader that loads the kernel. I don't believe the TBL ever does any signature checking.

For more informarion, look up the UnbrickableMod thread on the Samsung captivate forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Master Melab:
For which device or series of devices was an unlocked secondary bootloader unintentionally released? I assumed that the open nature of Galaxy S bootloaders was conscious.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
I think all of the devices using this same processor, but I don't know for sure.

Here's one thread that explains it, although I see you've already been there. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233273

Hi is there anyone here who knows is it posible to use htc sense contact management under MIUI? cause i want to use MIUI with the ability to link and merge contact such as sense feature
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If only, no is the easy answer, you would need the sense frame work, but I'm sure that there must other third party applications with some of the functionality

This is one of the three reasons that I use sense, the quality of the contacts, calendar and phone apps

[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
the three reasons... ;)
[HTC Desire S] ebadli:
Just as i tought, i love how sense cleverly found similar contacts whether from PHONE, SIM or synced accounts and gives us option to link or merge em, i haven't found apps with such capability, it's annoying to see duplicates of contacts info,i wish dev of MIUI improve this someday. Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] ebadli:
it's not just to merge duplicates of phone numbers, but the options to link synced account such as social network accounts, i use 3rd party app but it just still lack of it. cheers appreciate it though
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Slightly off topic, but I use sense based ROM but remove Rosie and install Apex launcher instead for a more plain Android experience, means that you can't use sense widgets but all the quality applications are still there to use

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insomniacno1:
Hi there, my friends Nokia 6110 Navigator is broken and he can't use the keypad, but we can use OVI Suite and we have made a total backup in .nbu format and copied the contens of both phone memory and mem card to his pc. Besides that we have copied all contacts to his pc in .csv format and one .txt file.

He has bought an Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, where we like to transfer all his data to, that includes Calender entries, notes, Personal SMS folders(like home, work, business), and so on.

The question is how to do it.

I know Kies has an option for importing data from an backup file like the .nbu file, but will it import his calender entries into Google calender, and will it import his notes and SMS folders?

Is there any other kind of software i ought to use?

Hope someone can answer this:)

With kind regards

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebzrascal:
If Bluetooth 4 is missing I think its a big mistake... It appears new low powered SMART Bluetooth DEVICES are about to hit the market in the next six months. Smart Watches, Heath/Fitness Monitors, proximity tags, Smart Shoes etc....

NFS is a good addition but why not include Bluetooth 4 also like the the latest Android devices and Iphone... I don`t understand the decision making at Microsoft.........

Imagine if Nokia had included colour coded SMART WATCH options the media would be going crazy now...

I really hope I am wrong or can Bluetooth 4 be added in software if its missing now?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcpathak:
Hi everybody,

Good evening!

I recently came across a post about almost 50% android devices being vulnerable. Duo securities has made this finding using an app 'X-Ray'. They mention following 8 types of vulnerabilities: 1. Ashmem 2. Exploid 3. Gingerbreak 4. Levitator 5. Mempodroid 6. Wunderbar 7. Zergrush, and 8. Zimperlich. Please see this link for details: http://www.xray.io/#vulnerabilities

I downloaded the app 'X-Ray' and did a X-ray of my Desire Z. It came out clean for all but one vulnerability, Mempodroid. I've a rooted and S-off desire z and am using Jelly Bean rom (andromadus Test Build, .85). The website gives following details for the Mempodroid:

"Inherited from the upstream Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the /proc/pid/mem interface allows for writing arbitrary memory in the address space of a setuid process. It's about as complicated as it sounds, but attackers are smart like that."

I cross checked the same X-ray with a different rom, this time GenY (Sense 4 based ICS Rom). The results were similar. I don't know much about these vulnerabilities so thought of putting this question in this learned forum. Please clear my following doubts:

1. Is this Mempodroid is a serious problem?

2. Since this is surfacing in different roms, it should not be a ROM-specific issue but a device-specific one. Is there anything that I can do to remove this vulnerability.

3. What possible harm can it do to me?

Thanks,

dcpathak

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Adam1422:
I had no issue with this with my original Evo 4G. Once I had contact's linked to their Facebook accounts, their FB image would appear as their contact image. The only exception to this would be if they had a Google image.

I'm having trouble getting the same thing to work on the new 4G LTE. The contacts are definitely linked. However their FB image doesn't appear. Just the default "anonymous grey dude" image.

If you are having the same issue as above(which I had) try these:

1. HaxSync

or

2. FaceBook Contact Sync

This worked for me!!! Finally all my contacts have pictures!!!! Found this fix while googling...not my work. Just wanted to share!

In your search did you ever find an app that syncs your Facebook calendar with your Google calendar? Sense does this just fine, but if I switch to a non-Sense ROM someday I'd still like that feature.

My limited searching kept pulling up instructions on "syncing" the two by exporting the FB calendar and importing it into Google's, which obviously isn't the same as syncing the two.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag90fox:
Howdy, I'll try to make this brief:

Cracked my EVO screen. Phone worked perfectly otherwise, but it was time to replace the screen. Ordered a digitizer and tape from amazon and installed following several website tutorials (fairly easy task).

After replacing the digitizer, the top edge of the screen is receiving almost constant phantom clicks/presses, making the phone almost impossible to use. Figured I had gotten tape on that area of the screen, so I pulled the screen up, stripped away the tape that was anywhere near that area, wiped the area very clean, and resat the screen. Have done that twice, but still getting near-constant phantom clicks.

Wondering if anyone has experienced that & solved the problem? I'm starting to wonder if its a bad digitizer, or possibly a bad seating of the ribbon. I don't have any reason to think its the LCD, but maybe?!

Thanks,

Joe

Thats what it sounds like,you might have a defective digitizer,i would recommend returning it for a new one and see if that helps,if not it could be the ribbon wire,not getting a ground(good connection).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] samxool:
Hi guys

I'm looking to upgrade my podcast app from Google Listen.

I've narrowed it down to 2 choices - Podkicker Pro or Pocket Casts.

Both seem to have excellent reviews, and both are the same price.

Any one with any experience of either of these?

Which should I go for?

I'm not the heaviest podcast listener, so don't really want to pay anymore than these for a podcast app.

Do both of these apps have lockscreen controls?

Does either of these apps stop downloaded podcasts appear with your music like Listen does?

Also, the ability for it to remember the last listening point of each podcast is a must, for when I get interupted mid-podcast.

Whilst an online search shows more people preferring Pocket Casts, its kinda bugging me that the last update to that app was February and am worried its not being supported much anymore.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

Its incredibly annoying. Do mods not realize how useful it is for people to know what the most usable/stable ROMs are instead of spending months of trial and error to figure it out? Never been on a device forum that's so overzealous in thread locking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sly-tendencies:
Rom suggestion threads count as "x rom is better than y rom" threads, which lead to arguments and flaming (which has actually happened)

I wish people weren't dumb enough to start fighting over roms because threads like that could be useful. Like me, I know nothing about rooting and roms. If I wanted to root and flash a rom, I'd have to spend potentially hours reading about different roms to decide on one that won't mess my phone up.

You're suppose to wipe off all the liquid on the side you touch before it dries. You wet that side so it isn't scratched or scraped when using the rubber applier. If you wipe it all off you don't get the rubber feel on the protector.
