That is a good idea... But to obtain again drm keys we need also to relock BL or it's enough flashing GB?

Because I don't know if pc companion will update the phone even if back to GB with unlocked BL...

edit: I was thinking... (I googled but have not found anything, it will be great if someone expert could chime in)

if by restoring .75 GingerBread FW and if by relocking bootloader will bring us back our DRM keys and everything working properly, we are then supposed to update our FW directly from pc companion.

BUT, we must upgrade to .50 FW because it's the recent and only firmware that allows to be rooted even with locked bootloader... so what if Pc Companion fool us and directly ask to upgrade to .55 instead? All this mess of downgrading and upgrading will be useless...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_GB:
you will not obtain drm keys by flashing GB Rom and relocking Bootloader!

its gone!

BE on GB does not depend on Bootloader status! that does not mean drm keys are there!

we dont know what has sony done in ICS update!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cabi.costa:
Look:

He said that by flashing .75 GB back he got drm keys back, even with unlocked BL (I suppose that BUL stands for that)... and Bravia is working fine

my bad sorry, I read too fast your post.

ok so, flashing GB rom and relocking Bootloader doesn't restore DRM keys -that are not connected to BE on GB.

BUT, if we relock BL and flash GB, we'll be able again to update firmware through Pc Companion.

And having a locked BL, currently (as many other users reported) is the only thing that allows BE2 Mod working flawlessly on their devices.

this has been useful for TrackID and Facebook Music Likes, both become partially useless when losing drm keys.

What if applies the same to BE?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
just like that. No one have found a way to let BE work with a bootloader unlocked or used to unlock their bootloader yet and it's only apply to Viewing picture through Album apps. Since BE always work in GB and in Video! U can try to do what ever you can and tell us when u're success. Just to let you know i have thousand mothers, since they said failure is the mother of sucess.

"Myself have had this bug and successfully fix should now share with the doctor.

This is because you should UB lost DRM KEY and can not be restored, how to fix it fix it fix only in rom only.

now his specific instructions how to do it: Of

course machine be root then

Down files Walkman_port_few_fixes.zip PC, unzip

COPY SYSTEM folder on the memory card.

next step the doctor to Settings -> Applications -> All

and Delete Data app: Download music th.tin, Walkman (all app called walkman), The Show (probably not necessary)

Absolutely not Walkman before doing the next step.

use Root Explorer copy CredentialManagerService.apk file on the memory card into the system folder / app , file libdrmtestengine.so the directory lib and lib / DRM on the machine ( memory is copied to the system directory before Set Permissions as shown below and then move to the directory on the )

Delete CredentialManagerService.odex file in the app folder. Reboot and enjoy it. "

but im failed..i modify it and i succed it..pls follow instruction below

but before we proceed pls back up your current rom by cwm

i did this way..by the way im @ xtx7/ics17 kernel.

follow this step..

1. download the attached file "Walkman_port_few_fixes.zip" in your PC, then unzip

2. copy system folder in your sd card.

3. go to setting/app/all then clear data of the ff: download music info, walkman(all app called walkman)

4. using root explorer, should be mounted as r/w,copy CredentialManagerService.apk on the memory card into the system folder / app then paste to system(main) or press back 3x to go system folder(main) then paste, then set right permission( rw-r-r) then move to app folder, choose overwrite

5. same procedure, copy libdrmtestengine.so on the memory card system/lib, paste to system(main),set right permision,move to lib

6. copy libdrmtestengine.so on the memory card system/lib/drm, paste to system(main),set right permision,move to lib/drm

7. power off then flash stock kernel..kernel.sin or 55.sin see attached and download, then unzip..code: fastboot flash boot 55.sin

8. to reboot flash this code: fastboot reboot

9.power off then relock your bl using flashtool

10.reboot then try download info in walkman

4°C is when water is at its highest density. The density starts to go down below that temp but it is still a liquid. Since 4° is its highest density, then it is also less dense at temperature above 4°C. So your statement is invalid unless you think that water above 4° is ice also. :D

It can be broken down into the pure elements of hydrogen and oxygen. At that point it would no longer be water thus the water would be non-existent. :D

[Off-topic] 85gallon:
Fuel cells are cool. They create energy and the only byproduct is pure water. The only problem is that hydrogen does not exist in pure form in nature. It is always part of a compound. And the energy required to break down the compound to get the pure hydrogen for the fuel cell is more than the fuel cell would produce.

[Off-topic] anasdcool71:
The thing is, that water's specific heat capacity is 4.2J/kgK as you know. That means 1kg of water takes 4.2J of heat energy to rise its temperature by 1K or 1 C. This happens because the heat energy taken increases the kinetic energy of the molecules and the temperature is the average internal kinetic energy. When water, in the state of liquid, is cooled below 32 F or 0 C(it's freezing point), the kinetic energy should decrease as the heat energy is being given out. But, instead, the potential energy starts decreasing due to which the molecules come closer and start holding each other tightly. When the process is complete, about 336J of heat energy is given out and water becomes ice at 32 F. Since there is a change in potential energy instead of the kinetic energy, the temperature remains unchanged. That explains why water's a solid and liquid at 32 F. The only difference is that the liquid state has an additional heat energy of 336J (latent heat of fusion). Same thing happens when water in liquid state is boiled at 212F, the difference being that when it gets converted to steam at 212F, it has an additional 2268J of heat energy (latent heat of vaporisation).:)

DING DING DING. We have a winner!!! :D Here in the states we were taught in calories instead of joules.

Normally it takes 1 calorie to change the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius whether cooling or heating. When water reaches 32°F(0°C) it reaches an invisible wall built by nature in the transition into ice. An additional 80 calories/gram of water needs to be removed before the transition to ice can be made. Although that much heat/energy is removed the ice is still at exactly 32°F.

A similar wall exists for the transition of water into steam. Except once the water reaches 212°F(100°C), an additional 540 calories/gram of water needs to be added to force it to change its state to steam. Yet the steam at that point is still 212°.

Hi all

Can a few people do me a favour and test out the following webpage on the default browser chrome:

http://www.itv.com/thismorning/showbiz/im-a-celebrity-deadly-delivery/

Note that the text is sharp.

Now scroll down so that the nav bar is no longer visible.

Does the text turn noticeably (and very blatantly) blurry/fuzzy?

If yes then chrome has a bug?

If not then I think I may have a defective screen? Haven't really noticed it in other apps yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
I think it goes blurry for me sometimes when it is rendering

In order to be smooth when scrolling, most browsers use low resolution images when scrolling/zooming etc, then sharpen up when you stop moving (sorry about my bad terminology). Is this what is happening in your case? When mine goes blurry, it sharpens up within a few seconds.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1simonlo1:

I also seem to have some touch screen issues. doesn't always smoothly zoom in and out when using pinch to zoom in maps, gallery, browser etc. It's as if it doesn't recognize that there's two fingers/touch points on it constantly..

Windows registry edit - fixes Chrome text/fonts blurry/thin issue

Windows Registry editing fixed the font thickness issue for me perfectly, we can tune the font thickness/darkness by calibrating FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA value to anywhere between 150 and 190 hexadecimal( 336 to 400 decimal )

- START -> RUN -> REGEDIT

- search for FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA by keying " Ctrl F " ( will automatically take us to CurrentUser\ControlPanel\Desktop path)

- double-click mouse on FONTSMOOTHINGGAMMA enter anything between 150 and 190 hexadecimal.(the Lower the value, the thicker the fonts.)

- close the REGEDIT tool

- LOGOFF and then LOGON

Now all the fonts are very thick & very dark in Chrome Browser.

But we must make sure that ClearType smoothing is enabled in Windows( controlPanel -> personalization -> appearance -> Effects -> ClearType smooth check [ ticked box ] )

OR alternately in RegEdit ...

FONTSMOOTHING=2

FONTSMOOTHINGTYPE=2

FONTSMOOTHINGORIENTATION=1 for LCD-screen, 0 for CRT-screen

( Note: MicrosoftClearTypeTuner minimum GAMMA value is 1000 maximum 2200 decimal, it doesn't let us tune beyond that limit, hence the Registry tweak)

Here's a video I made last night pitting my new Nexus 4 up against my HTC One X in a variety of real world scenarios.

The One X is running the CM10 nightly from 20121109.

Despite what it looks like in the video, the One X is so fast that most people (including me) would not ask for more. Also, the screen and camera are far better.

At about the 1 minute mark, I demonstrate how the colours and contrast diminish when you look at the Nexus 4 screen at an angle.

Love my N4, but I love the One X as well. Both are brilliant phones.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
I realize this is entirely a matter of personal taste, but to me the One X (especially the new black, softtouch One X+) has a much more high quality feel than the Nexus 4. The One X+ also feels better in my hand, because it has a more contoured back.

The Nexus 4 certainly is a nice phone. But the glass back comes across to me as more glitzy, than high quality.

You can also see in the video how much more useable vertical screen place the One X has, due to the capacitive buttons. It really does seem like a huge waste of space, to me, to have the home and back buttons on the screen.
