[HTC Desire S] dejavu89:
I had the exact problem from the very beginning. Got a phone and the very next day had a screen protector applied. For a few days proximity sensor created problems. The screen would go black when the call started, but until the call did not end, there was no way to bring the screen back. So, I used an app just like yourself to check and saw the same thing happening. Ultimately read extensively and realised it was due to screen protector. Took a scissor and cut off the protector above the sensor. A few months later when I had a new protector (of a different company) applied the same problem reappeared, so I had to cut it off from the top. Except that this time around I was sort of expecting it. I hope this help! :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Desire S] nageshmv:
I had the same problem and it continued no matter whether i remove the protector or cut the portion....im unable to most awesome ROM's.......only n sense 4.0 im able to re turn on the screen using power button.if there a way to completely disable this turn off during calls irrespective of the ROM its highly appreciated......

Looking forward for the solution
[HTC Desire S] nikhilmulay:
An update to my situation.. I ordered a new proximity sensor on e-bay and have replaced the same on my phone now. While I was at it, I cleaned up the window as it was pretty grimy and could have been the source of trouble. Also cleaned up the contacts with Isopropyl alcohol. End result.. Im still having the same problem!!

Im pretty sure now that its not a hardware problem and has to do with the calibration. What I have noticed that the sensor works fine in bright sunlight but not when there is less light around. Also am not using a screen guard!

Would it be possible to guide me to the right tools to recalibrate please?
[HTC Desire S] Jann F:
Sorry, I haven't done this myself, but I'll search a bit how it's done by HTC.

They are using a special holding station where the devices are calibrated.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] CarlDeanCatabay:
The "No room on this homescreen" bug is caused by the number of pixels (dip) used by some widgets in each grid of the launcher app (Home.apk). Right now, neither the original person who is porting the Xperia S launcher for gingerbread nor me have a fix for this issue.

But there is a workaround for that, if you are using Xperia Launcher v.0.9.2c (not really sure about that version number), a 5-row x 5-column desktop should fit any 4-column widget perfectly. :)

Make a nandroid backup of your current rom.

Try to install 7.4 without wiping data, and let us know what happens.

Always intresting.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] srmrox:
Here is what I do

When I am installing a new, different ROM, I always reset/wipe everything. When upgrading, most of the time, there is no need to format the data partition or factory reset since only a few of the already installed files will be changed.

However, it is good practice to wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Doing so does not delete any settings or data.

Furthermore, there are a few things you can do get your data back on the new ROM:

Move contacts to sdcard

Ensure all your pictures, movies, etc. are backed up on your PC/Mac in case anything goes wrong with the sdcard

Use a software such as My Backup or Titanium Backup to back up apps (available in Google Play)

Once your data is backed up, you can flash a few ROMs, decide on which one you like the best and restore your 'stuff' back. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dev Jaskirat:
U can sync your contacts to your Google account!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] lance4888:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petes67bird:
Hi everyone. I have an offer for someone to buy my kindle fire hd. If I did sell it I would be picking up a chrome book. I type a lot on forums and use within at work. I am thinking it might be better for web browsing. What are your opinions? I really like my fire hd and I would miss the touch screen along with the many games. I don't know what should do so I am looking for suggestions. It is a pain to type on the fire hd, I really wish you could install swiftkey keyboard as the predictive typing is terrible on the kindle. Once again just shoot me your thoughts,this isn't a one is better than the other, I just want to make an educated decision.

What I do on my kindle.

Pay bills

Watch movies

Surf web

Forums

Twitter

Email

Skype

Play games

Read books

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemeila:
If you really like having the touch screen and still want the option of having a better way to type, you should look into the Asus Transformer series tablet. You can buy a custom made keyboard dock that doubles the battery life and adds more ports(usb, full size sd I think). Its not one of those cheap keyboards either, its made by Asus for the device(super thin, very portable) hence the name Transformer, best of both worlds touchscreen tablet or mini laptop. It is very easy to attach and detach. Also Asus is awesome about updating their software, usually one of the first tablets to get new android updates.

This device would fit every need you mention above. You can get the TF300 series w/ keyboard dock for under 500. If you want best of the best the TF700 w/ dock is about 620-650, screen resolution is amazing something like 1920x1200.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petes67bird:
Hi,I would love to get the asus but price is 2x what I am willing or able to spend right now. Before I bought the first fire, the transformer prime was what I wanted. Where I am right now,about 250 would be my Max budget. I am offered 200 for my fire hd with my case and the remaining 10 months on my best buy warranty for accidental coverage. So the chrome book would only be an additional 50 bucks. That's about all I can do right now as money is a bit tight. Thanks for the suggestion though,it was a great one.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemeila:
Wow I didn't realize that chrome books were so cheap I might look at getting one then just to add to my devices.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
Chrome books are a fair spec on paper but the screen is horrible. Not IPS... matt and low viewing angles.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petes67bird:
How do you know the screen is horrible? Do you own one? Is the screen as nice as the kindle hd..... No. But it's not horrible, I have used one and the screen still appears high Def. Regarding viewing angles, I sit in front of my computer not off to the side so that's a non issue. Some people prefer the matte screen over the gloss, I do.

Thanks for the help guys.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Nexus 10.. and get a blue tooth keyboard if you need to type a lot. It was debuted online on 10/29. Not sure of the release date yet. It's made by Samsung, not Asus this time around.

The Asus transformer is not a bad choice. With the dock, it gets turned into an android netbook of sorts. Not to mention it's detachable and you can just carry the tablet portion around if you want. Though my husband says that it feels awkward on the dock, he hardly every uses it. Possibly only with the 1st gen, never tried the 2nd.

Or you can be adventurous and get the Microsoft surface running full windows 8 :D Not light on the pocket book though.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petes67bird:
That's nice but budget is 250. Choices are slim.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Perhaps the N7 then. You can install keyboards to your hearts content without jumping through hoops. Plus get a BT keyboard. The 16 GB is now $199 and the 32 is $249.

Otherwise you can take a look at pre-owned transformers, but I'd take the N7 any day.. I love the 7" size.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petes67bird:
So you would take a nexus 7 over the chrome book? I have heard negative things about the 7s build quality. I think I would rather keep my kindle hd. Why is no one for the chromebook?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
It's a new OS. From my knowledge, it doesn't run Android, it runs chrome OS. It can go either way and it would be in early development in comparison to Android. Someone's gotta test it though :)

I like my N7, get a good one and it will be good to you back.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwtech:
For what you want I would recommend getting a chrome book.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
I have used one in the flesh for about 20 minutes. I don't own one because I did not like the screen quality.

Its not just me... from Anandtech

"The new Chromebook's display is still a fairly mediocre TN panel, but for anyone used to the majority of low cost PC notebooks over the past few years it's really not any different. The 16:9 display measures 11.6 inches along the diagonal with a 1366 x 768 resolution.

Viewing angles are pretty bad. Max brightness tops out at 233 nits, although contrast ratio is better than a lot of low cost notebooks. The low max brightness means that outdoor use will be an issue, generally speaking for really bright sunlight you'll need something closer to 500 nits to be usable."

look, the screen is fair for the money - but not for me.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

BTW - I am quite sensitive to the quality of screens. So others may well have a more positive perspective.

The KF HD screen rocks though ! Better than the ipad mini and N7 ...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petes67bird:
thanks deagle. I ordered 2 of them but they are out of stock. I am gonna hold onto my kindle hd until I test out the chrome book for a little while. The other one is a Christmas present from my sister and I for my parents who are not computer savvy at all. I figure this will be easier than a windows Pc would be for someone who never owned a computer. Thanks again
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemeila:
I think the chromebooks are great and especially since they are that cheap. The only thing that turns me off is that there is no internal storage, you have to access all your files from google drive. Not a bad thing if you are always near wi-fi or you have the 3G version($450 though).

Have you thought about just getting a bluetooth keyboard for the kindle, i'm sure there is one out there that is compatible.

By the way I own a KFHD and two Nexus 7's. I don't agree with everyone that says the build quality on the Nexus is bad, feels solid and one of them has been dropped at least 10 times w/ no damage, screen has no light bleed and great color, a powerhouse when it comes to multitasking, and all jacks(usb,headphone) are very tight.

That being said the KFHD has an even better screen w/ richer color, 10x's better audio, hdmi port, and better overall handling feel.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
I think the thin client/cloud model has a future... and I have been tempted... and would have pressed the "go" button but the 3G ones were not available... and I don't like the screen too much (but then again, I like IPS and glossy).

Practically every case I've seen is leather!!

I hate the look & feel of leather/pleather..

I would like to know if anybody has found cases that come with a stand and protect/cover like other cases.

This phone has been sbf'ed it received the mem map blank after a .608 sbf flash i even found a updated ezsbf bootable linux using the .629 and it didnt work it is stuck on bootloop with the Motorola Red M.. i can get into the recovery by power and hard x BUT, i cannot progress into the menu not by the search key or the volume rockers at the same time or even individually. Any assistance with this issue would be nice. devs any assistance would be appreciated. Im in need of some fast help my email is elitecomputer93@gmail.com..send me a email or post on here. .thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

ps.: yes i have tried rsdlite too btw.:confused:

when trying to get to recovery do you see android Andy with triangle and!

[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
well recovery changed from search to volume buttons with gb

maybe one of them is stuck

they both need to to be pressed at same time

I'd say keep trying, also does it go into charge mode, with phone off and then wall charger connected?
[Droid 2 Global General] Ultimatetechworm:
no charge interface , no recovery interface, i use a external charger to charge the battery, heres a walkthrough...power on normally: turns on shows red motorola M thats what it stays on, Boot into recovery: shows red m screen darkens then i see android with white triangle then ! in the middle of triangle...i then press volume rockers at the same time repeatedly ...no menu pops up at all , i then try it with the search button ...doesnt do anything ...the whole time im seeing android with white triangle then ! in the middle of triangle.. im using a different sdcard (not to sound noobish) but would that make a difference ? if so is there away i can reapply the files needed or adb a recovery?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
back to recovery

does it still say mem blank error?

no adb will not work

no sd card shouldn't matter, but you could try booting with out
[Droid 2 Global General] Ultimatetechworm:
not currently, after using the ezsbf tool for .629 im at a bootloop i can recreate that error by flashing a .608 sbf if need be..once i have the mem map error i cannot access recovery i dont think i believe itll go straight to bootloader. wouldn't it ?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
if charge mode doesn't work, sbf didn't work

reflash 629 or try 2.4.29 then try 629 again
[Droid 2 Global General] Ultimatetechworm:
okay ill try to reflash the .629 ill try the 2.4.29 i have no idea what that is btw its a lower sbf correct? i will get mem mapped wont i? ill most likely have to do it tomorrow i have literally been sbfing all day the battery is too low to program. not to mention its like 3:am. but a link or description of what the 2.4.29 is would be awesome do i want to flash this with rsdlite ? then completely power off and see if itll charge right?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
yes 2.4.29 is a sbf, yes it will brick, but files will be written

then flash 4.5.629, may work correct

other options

use different usb data cable

usb port

PC

with rsd lite reinstall drivers
