[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galets:
My proximity sensor went bad after I replaced a screen lens by heating up and unglue technique. I turned it off in the phone app, and now it's fine, but for me it's very irritating that I have a high-end device which is somewhat broken, so I started researching what's wrong and how to fix.

It does work, I tested it by enabling hidden menu ( *#22745927 ) and then diagnostic mode ( *#0*# ) + click "Sensors". It does show proximity sensor at ADC 16 or more (I think it triggers at 15, so always on). When I bring the hand to the sensor, ADC goes to 100, so the sensor is somewhat working, but it always does sense something which isn't there, which is causing it to misfire. I have another good S3, and ADC value on it is 0 or 1 when nothing is in front of it, so my sensor could clearly be better.

I have no idea what ADC is, by the way

I have another broken front panel laying around, so I took the phone apart and replaced a sensor with the one from that panel. I did see a slight improvement, which is: ADB value went down to 11-12, so the sensor was not ALWAYS in triggered state, but clearly still no bueno.

What I'm going to do now is get a new item and try replacing with a new one. It's not overly expensive, like 10 bucks when shipped from china (search for "Front Facing Camera s3" on ebay). Should that be a success, I will post my results here.

I also am not sure if it is possible to recalibrate sensor to not trigger if ADC value is, say, below 20 and such. I would imagine there could be a configurable value. Somewhere this value of 15 is coming from, isn't it? So, idk, if some guru here is reading this post, maybe could advise where to go to configure it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtfoot:
Not to keep this thread alive or anything, but I gave my dad my old phone and he complained to me a few days later that the screen kept going off as well so I met him only to find out that he had the case on wrong and it was blocking the proximity sensor. He definitely is not cut out for a smart phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galets:
UPDATE: I bought a brand new sensor/camera block, and same issue there: minimum ADB is ~12. So, it's glass. It is possible that the sensor openings are either slightly shifted, or too dark.

Anyone knows how to configure the threshold value?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GalaxyS3IsMeh:
You shouldnt have to go through all this man. You should get a new phone :p

IS there absoultely NOTHING I can do, but reclaim my bestbuy warranty.? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
No, you should still be OK. The download combination should be the same regardless of device.

To get to download mode:

Hold the Power + Volume Down button until the device reboots and a construction-like sign appears.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardy81:
Has anyone found out if there is a File Manager? One which can access network shares on a wlan? Or one available as an app?

If no, sticking with Android...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
There is no local File Manager. Apps that can access remote Network Shares are already available on WP7.5. Given that WP8 allows Apps to launch other Apps that support certain file types you could use one of those Apps (when they are updated to WP8) to grab a Video from your NAS-Box and launch it in the built in Video Player.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardy81:
Great, thanks for the info. Could not find it googling. And you guessed what I'd like local and/or network share access for: playing media at home from the NAS. Will need to check out Windows Phone 8 at a store, maybe upgrade the phone hardware soon.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Most NAS boxes currently support UPnP or DLNA servers. This can be played through various software. Before jumping in I'd still wait to see if the required Apps are updated to allow for a seemless transition because at release the Apps are almost certain to not have been updated (given that the SDK was just released yesterday). So the possibility is there but at the moment the Software isn't really.

Might be worth checking wether your Media Files are currently stored in a format supported by the phone, given that similar to iOS WP is pretty picky when it comes to file formats.

Dude I screwed my music thing on x10 . Please help . Tried flashing xperia s music player . Now music icon has dissapeared . N power button seem to reboot all the time . Will updating binary files of xrec n then flashing again help ?

Please tel . Desperately.

Rooted x10 2.3.3 stock Rom
[Android Apps and Games] GuilhermeXOT:
Hey dude, I don't really know how to help you because I haven't had any similar problems but I'm pretty sure that you should try the basics: clear caches (dalvik included) and fix permissions.

Since I'm not a developer I can't really help you with the binary files but try reaching your ROM's developer and he might help you

I hope you get your phone fixed :)
[Android Apps and Games] theMoiz94:
Dude u sure that I should clear off dalvik cache ? I tried fixing permission but still nothing . The power button rebooting the phone is more irritating than not having a default music PLAYER . Im asking in this forum but havent got the solution yet :'(
[Android Apps and Games] Oodie:
Excellent post Buddy . Hope you update the thread with other power users opinions & Tips .

Thanks.

Oodie.
[Android Apps and Games] GuilhermeXOT:
I think that the only people that can help you are the ones on your device's specific forum man, try creating a topic there

Sorry but I really don't know what to do to fix your phone
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Some of the tips are a complete waste of time and utter crap (mostly those related to keeping RAM usage low and task killers [EDIT: actually, you contradict yourself on these points], giving the device time to "adapt" to the environment -seriously?- and going for the lighter apps -this obviously applies if you have an outdated device, but it's not a rule).

EDIT: Forgot to say that the rest is good. :)
[Android Apps and Games] GuilhermeXOT:
As I said the guide was wrote based on Xperia X10 user experience so it is kind of an old device.

About the RAM management you won't have any issues with a top device with a lot of free RAM but in our case (old device users) we have about 256mb or less RAM to work with so keeping it well managed is essential if you want your device to run smooth.

The adaptation thing seems like BS but it's not, because your device need to create/edit some files as its being used and that's what this part of the article really means. For example your battery writes a log about its own capacities (making a long story short by recalibrating your battery all you do basically is reset this log)

Thanks for the feedback, hope you found something usefull :)
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
No, it's not essential. It's actually bad.

The lifehacker website seems to be down, so I'm giving you a link to this article instead (the article itself links to three more detailed articles; one of them is the lifehacker article I wanted to link; do read them): http://androidandme.com/2011/11/app...lers-still-dont-give-you-better-battery-life/

EDIT: Regarding the battery, draining the battery (to 0% or close) is actually bad for lithium based batteries and should be avoided. A discharge to 15% is usually enough.
[Android Apps and Games] GuilhermeXOT:
I get your point and I also talk about the same thing as the article in the guide: "the use of Task Killers usually worsens more than help if not done properly" , I just didn't elaborated on this very much.

Now, what I'm saying is that if you are a day-to-day user you don't need a task killer and it's recommended ONLY for a gaming experience, aka heavy games like GTA, Dead Space, etc...

"Task killers (that goes for any app of this kind) are good for a gaming experience but for everyday use is preferable to keep some of the apps in the cache so they open faster when they are requested again."

I'm not a task killer fan myself but if you check any gaming rom (DikeJ's for x10 is a good example) you can see that the developers try to maximize the free RAM because those heavy games use a lot of it.

So in order to avoid this kind of confusion I'll edit the article to solve this misunderstanding :) thx for the heads up
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
Cool, thanks for that :)
[Android Apps and Games] DiKeJ:
Buddy, that guide is awesome written, excellent work. And big thanks for credits - I'm very proud that I could help in that "project" ^^. It's should hit XDA Blog :D. Cheers :).
[Android Apps and Games] GuilhermeXOT:
I'm the one who have to thank you :)

People please share your ideas so we can make this guide better!

Does anyone have any idea what the DAC in the Nexus 4 will be? I'm really hoping for a Wolfson, but I doubt that will be what it is due to the price point. I'm really hoping for good sound quality on this phone as none of my previous Android devices have had it.

Qualcomm socs use their own dac (made by qualcomm), but most have said it sounds pretty good.

I am coming from a crap Yamaha dac on the S2 so I don't care as long as its not as terrible.

Hopefully it's upgraded from the DAC used in the original S4 in my AT&T HTC One X. Though it's far from horrible, it's still nothing to brag about.

The ONE thing nice about not having the phone in hands yet is it has given me time to get some goodies on order with cheap shipping. I have four cases headed my way (yes idle hands). As you will see from my selections, I like cases that are TPU or similar for absorbing shock. I don't like very bulky cases.

Yello TPU from Amazon

Gray X-line that seems to be everywhere on the web

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gray-X-Line...168197?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a24a129c5

Then the Flexshield cases. I think one of these will be my everyday case. I couldn't decide between transparent or black so I ordered both. They come from mobilefun.com in the UK and since I had so much time to wait (November 9th or so) I used the cheap $5 shipping and it should be here by then.

Still haven't decided if I am getting the Note yet, I have SGS3 and its great, with a nice strong seido case (extended battery active) it isn't too big. I feel like having a big case on the note will be too much. I'm in the army and the SGS3 barely fits in my ankle pockets now, Only option for the Note would be in my cargo pockets and it might break in there...

This is the case I ordered from Korea.

hey guys i got a quick question im currently married to my skyrocket...but im leaving her for this beautful note 2. something i came across that was rather annoying with the skyrocket when it came to cases is that the phone style changed based on the carriers. e.g the speaker orientation on the sgs2 hercules vs the sgs2 skyrocket where different. even tho they are the same phone specs wise. is this the same here since all the cases linked here are for the n7100 and our phones are the n7137m and n7147m or something to that effect thanks for your replies in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
The note 2 as far as dimensions go are the same across all models. So all cases will work

Can someone explain to me how to flash the leak bootloader? I deleted the original .zip for the first leak and can't remember how to do it. i think I have the right file, i think its motoboot.img. I know i need to use fastboot, but what command do i use?
[HTC One X] joeykrim:
As the developer of FlashImageGUI, I'm always seeking to expand product support and coverage. I added support for the HTC One XL (AT&T One X) today and am seeking a tester or two that can test the application on their Tegra HTC One X.

Only two simple requirements:

1) Familiar with ADB (I can help with the commands, as long as everything is setup and working)

2) Familiar with the custom recovery (able to make and restore backups)

If you're able to help test, feel free to drop by #gen-dev on irc.freenode.net and ask for me. http://webchat.freenode.net

I'll link you up with a beta version and we'll walk through flashing a few kernels/ROMs. Thanks for the support!
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Well we have niether s-off or the ability to flash to boot (other than through fastboot). So kinda limited really. If you think it`ll work with those crappy limitaions i`d be happy to test. Would be great if it did.
[HTC One X] joeykrim:
s-off is not needed, only htc official dev unlock.

The htc evo 4g lte, evo 3d, one s and one xl only required htc dev unlock, not s-off.

[HTC One X] joeykrim:
If I remember correctly, the HTC unlock method for this device didn't allow write access to the kernel partition while booted in Android, which is odd because the same "official" HTC unlock method on other HTC devices does allow write access to the kernel partition while booted in Android.

If the device is s-off, the app *should* work, but I might be remembering something incorrectly as this was roughly 9 months ago and HTC has a bit too much variation in their security implementations....

The last version of youtube enables the preloading (caching) of all the videos you add in the watch later playlist. But it needs to be online in order to play them, for some crappy reason. Is there a way to bypass that and play all the videos in "watch later" while offline?

Some info on this feature and the crap reason.

YouTube, careful to draw a distinction between this and total downloading of its vids (which breaks its terms of service), is careful to point out that you’ll still need to be online for the first second when you press play.
