[Microsoft Surface] drhoros:
I am missing a good forum to discuss issues people are having with their surface devices. I am totally happy with mine, but still misisng sume things. Where can I have useful discussions about this ?

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Sorry for being to quick, I wanted to add some of my probs:

Pop 3 account. I already have read a lot of disussions on this and found some tips, but my provider only supports POP3 :(

Synching my Windows Phon 7.5 (simply not working) :(

Locking the device when I close the lid, meaning if I close the cover (touch or type) I want the device to be locked :(

Support for older micro SD Cards. I cant my SD cards to work only the new SDHCX cards work :(

Does anyone know a good method to search the AppStore ? I realized that I am getting different results if I do a "general" search in the store or If I look for an app in the specific section. This is getting me mad.

When will MSFT release the final version of its Office 2013 products to the Surface users ? I already have it on my PC but the Surface still has a preview of Office 2013

I had my wifes phone on Agat's ROM and it started acting up on her battery dying insanely quick and screen not locking.

So I used the Stock/Rooted One Click FI27 and hoped that would fix the issue. But it didn't.

The power button will not lock the phone. The phone will not goto sleep if you just lay it there and let it lock itself the screen will go off but it will come back on. The power button will work only for a few things if you hold it down for 10 sec it will reboot and to get into recovery/download mode. If I put into DL Mode by holding power/vol down it will reboot immediately. The only way I could get it to stay in download mode is to reboot from custom recovery too it.

I don't have insurance on the phone unfortunately. The phone is in like perfect condition never been water damaged and always had an otter case. Anyone had this issue before or have any advice to fix it?

Thinking about taking it apart and looking at the power button
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ankurcshah:

Nevermind, found what I need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monotune:
how did you fix it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
ICS does not cause the power button to stop working. Where you heard this information is completely wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikeregister:
I too was wandering how an OS can cause a hardware related issue.

Anyway, how I fixed it was by taking it apart and I got some pliers and squeezed the metal piece around the button (see attached photo)

I didn't squeeze it to hard though this piece is very small (I actually used my camera on the GS3 to zoom in so I could see it) but I squeezed firmly I guess you can say.

I put the phone together and locked and unlocked the phone about 100 times and it worked just like it was supposed too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monotune:
I've taken my phone apart as well and I can't seem to make out what that pic looks like, it's too blurry :(

Hey monotune come back in a few days and let us know if everything is still going well with the power button. I will do the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ankurcshah:
Well, It happened to a couple of people i know who were on fh13. And it was the button that caused the issue. Infact it was also rebooting. and the phone was not able to lock. So fixing the power button solved the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:

Well, my wife's phone slowly started having random reboots again which was what happened before the power button quit working last time. Then the power button started only working sometimes and the screen was turning on and off again like before.

So, I decided to take it apart again and play with the power button a little bit and to my great luck the power button fell off.

So I'm warning everyone that trys this BE CAREFUL. As if you didn't know that anyway.

Oh well, the wife is using my old Epic now maybe I will send it in too the place in your threads tdunham.

Hopefully those who try this get more than a temporary fix unlike me.

Good to see this is working for people. Unfortunately for my wife's phone it started acting up again after a few days so I attempted it again and broke the power button off. Ended up just getting the wife a GS3 for one cent when they had a deal going on around Black Friday
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Was you on FL27 before? Have you tried to wipe data/cache/dalvik? What Agat's ROM was you using? Did either of you dl anything prior to the phone acting up? Did you try to flash the ROM again or did you just immediately go to the one-click? As for the power button, Gravity Screen Off will allow you to turn the phone on and off with out using the power button, and Floating Toucher will allow you to acces the entire phone via the screen thereby eliminating the use of the home buttons.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdrtomalacc:
A couple months ago, I bought my Nexus S to replace my SGS. I havent updated my Galaxy S since the 9/10/12 cm10 nightly. I am on the 11/2/12 nightly on my new Nexus S, and it is a lot slower. I was curious about this since both phones use very similar hardware, the only technical difference being the faster NAND on the Nexus S and the different board. Does anyone have some ideas on why the NS is slower (more jerky, laggy in UI)? Btw, I'm new here, so no h8, pls.

Many people have it but those who don't, need it badly

Very Big Thanks to Fire rat for sharing his knowledge with us

Here is his thread:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679572

What does it do?

If you have any second partition of SD Card

(ext2, ext3, ext4), it makes a directory SD-EXT in the root of mobile and mounts it at every boot.

NOTE: It is not a script for moving any Data or App from Internal memory to EXT Partition, it just creates that directory.

Its for those who are not using(or even using) any script for moving data to next partition and want to just make a prominent directory of SD-EXT.

For eg, if someone is using Link2SD, then the second partition is mounted as /data/sdext2 and not as /sd-ext

So they can't, well, do a lot of things.

Required:-

*Custom ROM with init.d support

*Busybox(not sure if compulsary, but it would be better to have it)

*Root Explorer

*Patience

*Mind

Method:-

1. Download the file in the attachment. Extract it.

2. Go to Root Explorer.

3. Copy the file (03mountsd) you just downloaded.

4. Go to /system/etc/init.d (There is also a shortcut- /etc in root of phone, both are same, NO PROBLEM)

5. Select Mount as R/W.

6. Make backup of your 03mountsd(some files for mounting SD Card may be different from 03mountsd, so you have to use common sense and choose the script which is used for mounting SD Card) [In special condition, there may be no script for mount the SD Card Partition, if so, skip thus step]

7. Paste the downloaded file in there.

8. Set Permissions. Every block must be ticked

Tick means X here

Read Write Execute

...X........X..........X......

...X........X..........X......

...X........X..........X......

9. Reboot

If correctly and successfully done, you will see SD-EXT directory in root of your phone after reboot

If it is not seen, reboot your phone

If again, check again if you had pasted it properly

If again, Download SManagerAds

Select to browse as root

Browse to /system/etc/init.d

And click on 03mountsd and click on (android skull with crossbones)[Root] icon and (blue gear)[Boot] icon and click save and Reboot.

This looks like it might solve a problem for me because I'm running both Titanium Backup and Link2SD and wanted to use TB to move app data to my ext2 partition.

Unfortunately I'm still using a stock ROM, so there isn't an init.d available to modify. However, I am using SManagerAds to run a V6 Supercharger script at boot. Does the 03mountsd script need to be in init.d?

I'm Sure floating touch can be ported to any android device by setting the screen sensitivity very high so that a way on the screen gets interpreted into a touch

I think glove mode can be ported but not the floating touch in browser cuz other devices cant make a difference between floating and touching...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Floating touch can't be ported to other devices, unless they use a similar touchscreen. You can have the 'floating' effect everywhere by setting the sensitivity to a very high value, but you won't be able to distinguish hover events and touch events that way.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arjun921:
What if we dont need to differentiate

Why do we need to differentiate at all??

at an earlier stage, we could make the phone to respond to floats as touches, so that the fingerprint is not a menace any more

PS im a noob , thats why i need some one to help me find out the correct touchscreen file to be modded:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It's not a single file anyway. Also, you just haven't tried that. It'll register random touches EVERYWHERE.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arjun921:
Maybe Maybe not , i aint so experienced...

its just one file actually(maybe as per the thread which says to mod only one file), btw i even tried but couldnt find the path cause i got confused of which directory ahead...

.

.

. Please buddy Help me!!

Even if i get random touches, atleast it will be a start...

i dont mind giving the whole credit (whosoever if he/she helps ) but atleast lets try?:angel:

.

P.s. Check out all links for sure to have a better idea of what we actually are talking about(no offence intended but just in case you are an experienced developer still, please check)

A must try is the app which does the job...

Also till what i know is that the touch screen driver-file-to-be-modded lies in /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen/ for the galaxy s I9003

BUT for XPERIA U, i aint sure. I think it lies in /sys/class/input/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The Xperia U has a different touchscreen, which might or might not have manual sensitivity adjustment. I'm pretty sure it does not.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arjun921:
dude, galaxy 3 and Xperia U has the same touch sensing technology

so why cant we mod !?

is it that you just dont want this feature to be ported to anyother device, but rather stay on the device with which it actually came??

:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I'm pretty sure the sensor on the Galaxy 3 is not the same. It's the same vendor, but not the same model. I might be able to help you if you post the output of "find /sys/" in adb shell.

please go through those threads, try installing that app,

check out the sys partiton, and then comment

if not interested, then please stop replying

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The app doesn't work, because it's intended for a different device with a different digitizer. The /sys file responsible is also relocated because a different device with a different digitizer needs a different kernel module, and the /sys files are created by that.
