[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vl1969:
Mezo91... you do not see tge IR light. But you can see it at the source. If you look @ IR night vision cameras at night you can see the IR led glow red. It all depends on quality of the tech. The higher the quality, the higher the frequency of the emiting diodes. Most hitech military grade equipment use emiters bordering ultra high frequency thus not visible to human eye. The emiters used in the phone and most commercial electronics is not that good.

How to turn off the proximity sensor completely

I enjoyed reading many of the replies to this issue, but what I noticed is that no one really described how to disable the proximity sensor completely. The best method I found to disable the proximity sensor completely is to go into Settings: Motion: and slide to OFF. I verified that after you turn Motion OFF and you blank the screen with the power button and using a camcorder, the infrared proximity sensor is as dead as the Terminator.

One other thing, I wanted to see if I had "special eyes", so with Motion ON and at night I turned off all of the lights in the room and blanked the screen with the power button, and believe it or not I was able to see a VERY dim red light emitting from proximity sensor. Try it if you don't believe me. :)

Does anyone happen to know the exact wavelength in nanometers that this proximity sensor emits infrared light?

Thanks

Yesterday, Google Play Store was working flawlessly.

Now, it opens, lists the apps updates and when I try to download, it crashes.

I'm with AOKP jb 4 in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250.

The version of gapps installed with the ROM was 20120726.

Some sites (like goo.im) released 20121011. It does not work either.

I'm flashing gapps and wiping the cache/dalvik each time.

Hi!

Been wanting to set up NFS mounting from my home server on my newly acquired Nexus 7, and I just now realize that I probably need nfs.ko as well as related kernel modules (cifs+md4+nls_utf8 are only for cifs/samba, right?).

Does anyone know if these have been compiled for this kernel (stock)?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] envygreen:
I rooted my Vivid (AT&T) a long while back, flashed a custom kernel (Faux 007) and tweaked it a fair bit for a cleaner look and better battery life. It helped. Some.

I have work apps installed that are a pain to get authorized and reinstalled, so I'd rather not go through the trouble again if I don't have to. However, I would like to get better battery life out of my phone if I could.

So, anyone have any experience on battery life of root vs ROM? Any particular ROMs/kernels for fantastic battery life? I'm not using sense widgets so doesn't matter if it's sense or stock UI.

TIA

Personally, the Holics ROM 1.3 with Holics 0730 kernel has worked great for me.

SetCPU to control CPU frequency: Max 1.5GHZ, min 350MHZ.

I used the Intellidemand governor, and noop scheduler.

I do NOT use task killers.

I use Lux Auto Brightness to control my screen brightness (highly recommend it!).

I use the APN Switch widget to turn my APN off when not in use (basically always unless I'm sending/receiving an MMS)

I close my apps when I'm done with them.

There is also an app called Llama that you can use to control all kinds of things, like turning wifi on and off based on the time of day and/or your location, etc. It's pretty cool, but I don't use it presently. Here are two examples of my battery life, with moderate usage.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
with rom and battery life it is easier to try the different ones for yourself to see which gives you better life, each device and person will have different experiences. I had good experiences with all of them but what worked good for me may not for you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ess.boyer:
Agreed. I think more than anything it comes down to two things: your screen-on time, and your cell-searching time. If you are in a low-signal area a lot (like the woods or a basement, or worse - a basement in the woods (!!!)) you can expect to get poor battery life on just about anything. Also, if you're playing angry birds every waking moment, you're going to bleed your batter dry. Simple as that.

If you live in a good signal area, and have screen brightness as low as possible, you're already in a good spot. Any tweaks you can do might help, but probably not by 12+ hours.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] envygreen:
You know, that's probably my number one issue, I just hadn't thought about it that way. On weekends, I easily last the whole day and have 40% or more left. At work, it's dying fast and often unless I plug it in while I'm at my desk. I'm away from windows and 11 floors up, so the signal is pretty poor.

In normal situations, the battery life does seem improved with the kernel I am using and the rooted/cleaned up bloat. But since I spend most of my time sitting in this chair with almost no signal, I notice that the most.

And as for trying out other ROMS, well we'll see when my contract is up and I pick up another phone so I can tinker to my hearts content while keeping a pristine phone for work. I just don't have the leeway to bork my phone right now. :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] skylinenegro:
When you were using faux's kernel did u remember to rename "mpdecision" and "thermald" to "mpdecison_dis" and "thermald_dis"? Cause that would also be why you didnt really see a bigger difference in performance with his kernel.

Anyone notice issues with their GS3 screen under dark light conditions?

Was thinking to myself, "Man, the GS3 is a 1000x better looking than that POS GS2!"

Come to find out...while not bugged with vertical lines or blobs, there are ink dots! I found a black background and viewed it in the gallery. After about 10 seconds of focusing on the screen, my eyes adjusted to the dark and I saw the ink blots!!!

There are definitely a few of them. Anyone notice this issue? I have to test my dad's phone to see if he has any. I just got mine last friday.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
So it's normal? I was honestly disappointed to see them on my brand new galaxy s3. Wasn't upset for seeing them on the s2 as that's forever old.

What exactly causes it? If you know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mutiny:
It's like dead pixels when the screen is completely black, right? And you only notice it in pitch darkness because the screen's black isn't quite as black as the dead pixels? Yup! I noticed it, too. I was trying to watch an LoL (or SC2 --I forgot which) and while the stream was loading I saw two noticeable black spots. It's completely normal. They're not your typical "dead pixels". I know I called it that above, but that's because I don't know what else to call it. If you run dead pixel test, it passes because the black on black isn't noticeable unless it's completely pitch dark... if that makes sense. In any case, don't try massaging it. You might mess up your screen in a worse way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Yes, unfortunately it is normal. It has something to do with the OLED technology but I'm not 100% on what causes it. The N7000 had it pretty bad. Google "black crush" or "black clipping" that might help explain it.

Return for a other s3. I returned two. Flaws like this are a defect and not to be considered normal. It is a byproduct of bad quality control and Chinese manufacturing. Samsung has been dropping the ball in the qc area since the s2. Screen issue are rampant now on several of Sammy's product lines. You would think the flagship would be flawless but I am now on my third s3 in as many weeks. Glad I have the php bundle.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Negative! This is normal with amoled screens. Even my Sony psvita has them.

I'm just sayin!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] belial20xx:
I understand that is very common among some issues but some screens are in far worse condition as my second unit was. It not just tmobile but all us s3 have screen defects. As an EE and IT specialist in will say it is a flaw in the manufacturing process. The s2 was similar. There are screens with no defects. It takes time to find one. I am stating facts and have no need to troll or lie. The are several of these with screen defects.

The vibrant is OLED and it saw no issues. Blacks were true black. No splotches or lines on the original line but the s 2 and 3 do have screen defects.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

So you are saying it is not plausible for cuts in manufacturing cost and moving more production to China as apposed to Korea could not have a negative impact on screen quality.

If you buy a new car and a week goes by an the paint bubbles or the windows chip when rolled up. If they say it's normal with that model paint and glass would you buy it,? Not I.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
The screens, and the phones are made in Korea.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] belial20xx:
Not mine. It has made in China all up on it. Even on my box. The s2 was made in both countries so it's not hard to imagine the s3 is the same. I had a china made s2 with a crazy screen. Warrant exchange and got a Korean made one and perfect screen. Not a single flaw. I went through 3 s3s and all made in China so it is not the case. QA and QC is still to blame for flaws.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x1tyme:
Correct. Just look at the Phone box and stated "Made In China/Printed". Everything is made in China now-n-days..so it wouldn't be a surprised :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] princeasi:
Sir or Mam, this is normal with Oleds. Some appears worst than others because the calibration of each screen are slightly different from the next. But pretty much 98% of all the oled screens hadc these blotches. Even if you luck up and get one which you think none is there, if you look closely you will find a blotch or 2 in the screens.

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

When I previously owned the SGS2, that phone was manufactured in China. After discovering the blot situation I decided to exchange for a better 1. After a couple of exchanges, they finally sent me 1 made in Korea. That 1 was the best looking display out of all the other SGS2 that I previously own, which were made in China.

big ol' noob here. i just flashed the Jelly-Bean_4.1.2_CM10-FLEX_v6supercharged_Aroma rom on my a500 which previously had lightspeed 4.8 on it. now when it boots it shows the android guy with gears for a second then just a blank black screen. the backlight is on so you can tell the tablet is still on. i can still get into recovery with no issues though("aman ra-iconia-3.17-ics" via "scrilax_CZ bootloader v8") i dont know what it could be though. installation of rom gave no errors. so please, I ask for assistance in resolving the issue. i was looking into (and learning about) fastboot fixes but i'm not sure if it applies to me nor have i tried it before. any help in fixing the darn thing would be much appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You should change the title to "Stuck in APX Mode". Refine your search. I've never had the issue, however, I believe 1 or more partitions are messed up. Which means you will probably have to revert back using TimmyDeans V4 rollback tool at the worst.

Just a guess. But search the forum for those terms. You should be able to find some threads as I've seen several references to being stuck in APX mode.

One place you may want to post your issue, is Skrilax_CZ's bootloader thread. He may know some fastboot commands to wipe the data.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Also remember, before you install a different rom, you must; in CWM

1. Wipe User Data/Factory Reset

2. Wipe Cache

3. Wipe Dalvik

Then go to Mounts and Storage and;

1. Format System

2. Format Flexrom

Then you can install the rom. If you haven't done this, you should try again.

After downloading this patched Siyah and CM update, copy zips to sdcard, enter to recovery, install zip from sdcard:

1) Patch - should I install it by Odin, select PDA> browse zip patch file > Start ?

3) From where I can get gapps ? On the CM website, its only CM, not gapps.

3) a) While install gapps, first I install CM10.zip in Clockmode then I install gapps.zip ? cuz I can't install both at the same time.

4) From where I get this kernel ? what kernel are you talking about ? I do have siyah kernel installed and already installing the patch based on your instruction so that is this ?
