I switched over to CM from stock and installed the gapps, but my Calendar widget has been completely blank, the Google account sync page doesn't have a "Sync Calendar" checkbox anymore, and I can't even add events in the Calendar app.

I tried putting GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk in /system/app to no avail — Still says sync error.*

gmail, youtube, music, and Drive all work, so it doesn't seem to be the google account itself...

Now doesn't connect either. Is this an issue relating to today's service outage?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grubscrew:
Had the same problem, just uninstalled the calendar. rebooted the phone and then reinstalled it via play store. went in to settings and selected which calendar it must sync with and boom, everything back to normal.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oogway13:
Is it the widget only that's not working?

You can try to clear cache and data from Settings | Apps | Calendar, Calendar Storage & Google Calendar Sync.

Hey i just flashed the Explosion rom 2.1 and its fking awesome :D , can anyone tell me where can i see if i have an overclocked cpu ,cuz when i join to hardware informations it still says 600MHz
[HTC Desire C] Kush@GenX:
try using setcpu application ...download from play store...phone must be rooted to use it...
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I downloaded the new sultan kernel and everything was running really smoothly. I was playing a game and I noticed my phone getting really warm, I figured that's normal for gaming. Then all of a sudden my phone started making a buzzing noise and got really really hot! I immediately pulled battery booted into recovery and switched kernels back to my regular kernel. Phone cooled down and is running perfectly Thank God! My question is what would cause that? Why the high pitch buzzing noise? Basically what the heck was happening to my phone? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You might want to pm the maker of the kernel,and find out what kind of thermald they are using and if it buzzes when hot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Thank you so much I will ask.
[HTC Sensation] DankoFGL:
when you find the problem, please post it here! is really rare problem
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Well, the problem was tried to replicate, but could not be replicated by me or others.. I'm just praying it's not some precursor to hardware failure! So far everything is running fine and cool. I did however change back to original kernel as a precaution. Still have no clue what happened, or was happening. Strangest noise I've ever heard,!! If anything fails I'll keep you posted. I'm hoping it was a fluke.
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
I read somewhere here in q&a about smth similiar. That guy said he heard a buzzing noize while playing a game, but with what I can remember no one could give an explaination. I don't think the kernel could make hardware damage, though. Search in this forum you may find that thread. He also mentioned having no problems after that episode, if I recall well. Best wishes
[HTC Sensation] tachylatus:
Since the Kernel is responsible for thermal monitoring and controlling the frequency scaling, of course it can damage the hardware. I don't know if there are any thermal safety features like in full-blown X86 CPUs, but even then, you can still damage the chip if it is pushed too hard. Not to mention, surrounding components could also become overheated, either immediately or over time leading to damage.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes I thought that. Something happened and I know it was kernel related. The phone never got so hot before, EVER! Then that strange buzzing high pitch noise happened. I'm still wondering if anyone knows what that sound was? Was it an alarm of sorts? Was I in melt down? Is this device equipped with an alarm for emergency? I wish someone could answer my question. I have no idea why the high pitch noise?
[HTC Sensation] DankoFGL:
I don't think that is an alarm, the cellphone are progamated to turn off if it gets to hot and turn on again when it gets cold again....

And I think that it has thermal protection like a full pc processor, my old milestone have it....

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeah to avoid any hardware damages the OS is self-rebooted
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
My kernel's thermald settings are as follows: the first thermald speed limiter is triggered when your CPU hits 70 degrees Celscius. At 70 degrees Celscius your CPU's max frequency is limited to 972MHz. The second level of thermald is triggered when your CPU reaches 72 degrees Celscius. At 72 degrees Celscius, your CPU's max frequency is limited to 648MHz. The third and final level of thermald is triggered when you reach 76 degrees Celscius. At 76 degrees Celscius your CPU's max frequency is limited to 384MHz. Somewhere beyond 76 degrees Celscius the phone will just shut off. There is also no kind of thermal alarm designed to alert the user of high temperatures.

Do you know whether or not that person was using my kernel?
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
No, I'm sure he wasn't using your kernel, because I have seen that post maybe a year ago. So I guess it's not just the kernel that caused it:confused:
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Very strange. After I switched the kernel back to my usual kernel, I've been playing that very same game over and over with no over heating and no strange noise. I suppose it could be a coincidence ,...it just was very strange.. I'm really glad it's not happening again. Maybe just a fluke thing? I tired to google it but found nothing similar....
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Try my kernel again. Today I released r5 which is very different from the release of my kernel you used, r3 (r5 is based off of a different source and it has many other changes as well). Also, you can always lower your CPU's frequency or use a different CPU governor if you're experiencing high temperatures.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Thanks I'll give it a try when I wake up. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
First Issue. when on a call. and I get another call when I swipe to switch over it gets stuck there for a few seconds before it picks up. one time totally froze my phone all together. anyone else?

Second. sometimes I have no signal bars but still able to make a call or text? if I reboot they come back. anyone else? only two issues I have with the phone so far.

also clean installed as well

o yeah. sometimes when out and about and not on wifi I will lose data and have to reboot
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
I think you should give more info like what rom you are using? Are your apn settings right? What data plan does at&t have you on? etc..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miku3191:
Network Issues ? I guess !

I guess both are somehow Network related issues ! Don't know then ! May be provide us with some more details !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i am on straight talk. and I am still on stock rom.. clean install. apn settings are correct. many years on android I have data and mms

I cant see how it freezing when switching a call be network related? I don't know I could be wrong.

I think there also a thread somewhere with the same issue. when on a call they lose data then when hanging up it comes back. only sometimes it does not come back until a restart. it seems like software issues to me. I am hoping anyway

On a weird note, I was seeking this app out because I saw an interesting episode of the nature of things. It's a canadian show so some might not have heard of it. This episode was called lights out, it described the health issues people have by simply being exposed to light (from electricity) that we wouldn't normally have been, because as far as man goes, electricity is a recent phenomenon. Anyway, it seems not all light is bad, for example exposure to light sources from a flame at night (as our ancestors would) does not have this ill effect. They were basically saying it's light in the blue spectrum (similar to the day sky) that affects our production of melatonin and can give rise to cancer and other ill health effects.

It's may sound silly but the episode had me thinking to lower blue light spectrum from electronics at night before going to bed.

The episodes live stream but I wanted to watch them on the subway. They are an rtsp stream for mobile. I was hoping vlc for android had the ability to record an rtsp like it's desktop counterpart but it doesn't. What's the point of vlc on android if it loses the bulk of it's features? Does anyone know a way of capturing an rtsp stream? I know of linux utilities that can but the rtsp stream address comes out fairly convoluted and I think it redirects to the actual stream behind the scenes.

They don't stream to the US, but if anyone wants to check out the episode I'm talking about it's here:

http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episode/lights-out.html

And if anyone has a way of capturing these streams it would be greatly appreciated.

First of all visit the thread below to understand more about this script it is not my script. It was created by lambgx02 . I just wanted to pass this along because I installed this zip on my phone and now it opens web pages and other apps way faster so check it out. All credit for the zip goes to Ryuinferno Samsung Captivate Glide Thread.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032. Flash this zip in recovery. To make sure it works just type in terminal emulator the following:

1. su (hit enter)

2. seeder (hit enter)

3. Seeder Menu should pop up like screenshot below you can enable and disable entropy with this menu

4. I recommend removing 'qrngd" from bin folder for this to run the smoothest. It will make sure the seeder script runs correctly.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shmi117:
I was just about to ask about that. Can't we just use the apk?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
All I can say is read doesn't = glance. Dirp try again and you will see the dev has a few options, one being a zip and the other an apk. The apk doesn't work for everyone. The zip uses something a bit more baked in. On a further note, the other thread gives you a pretty good idea of the theory used. Why would you flash without reading and understanding anyway?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BACARDILIMON:
I did read and the reason i was asking was cause the size difference in zip files. I was looking for the op answer. Maybe he modified it? I rather ask then brick a phone.

Page 3 of other thread, thread jacked and moved to flashable zip - Original Op went quiet. Init d and rngd binary added for flash. Check contents to confirm for yourself.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
I am using liquid smooth and it runs fine and doesn't max out max cpu's and i keep both of them on 540 min to 1566 max all day. SmartassV2 and Noop. The number constantly refreshes every second if its working right and be over 3000+ consistantly. Withiout this script you might get 400 or 500. Cpu isn't affected on my rom but maybe on others.

UPDATE : Started using my phone this morning and noticed a lot of wacky behavior.. Google maps wasn't working, ES File explorer kept for closing and some other instability issues.. Restored my Nand backup and all is back to normal. I'm not sure what effect this has on those things. I couldn't even install Google Maps anymore.

It has gone up to about 1000 but then went back down. Is the total number the number that is supposed to be around 3000? If so, do you think a reflash would correct it? I just flashed and rebooted last time. Do we need to wipe cache/dalvik or anything after?
