broken hardware

Is there anyone that knows where the proximity sensor is actually located in the phone?

My guess would be the motherboard flex cable... :/

So my problem is, that i've dropped my DHD, and ever since then the proximity sensor/light sensor doesn't work (it is the same sensor), and I'm pretty sure that the hardware is broken.

Lately, I have been looking into the possibility of disassembling the phone, and replacing the broken part...

But as of now, i have no idea which part the proximity sensor is actually integrated onto.

Any ideas? I watched about a dozen disassembly videos on Youtube, but not one of them mention the proximity sensor.

Thanks in advance

The model sold in different countries (if it differs, I don't know) and the radio provided in different countries will make a difference.

(Sorry for late reply)

edit: The radio controls many of the phone's functions like the wireless and the cellular. It might control or affect the proximity sensor too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadmalik88:
I have a Nexus S (9020a) that has given me a number of problems. Now I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with the hardware.

1. In ANY ROM, the phone sometimes refuses to show any display. Repeated taps of the power button don't bring anything up and then the battery has to be reinserted.

2. While charging, sometimes the touch refuses to respond, sometimes it gets inverted (upside down) and sometimes its colors are inverted.

3. In ALL Jelly Bean ROMs, there is severe battery drain to the NFC Service. And it cannot be turned off, the NFC option is greyed out.

All these bugs are relatively less frequent in CM7 (and the battery drain is nonexistent). Can anybody guide me what the problem might be? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Haha, thanks for the reply. :p

I am using the original charger so I don't know why this still happens.

And in Jelly bean ROMs, deleting the apk is a secondary solution. Why does it happen in the first place?

Also the Nexus Root Toolkit refuses to flash stock tar to the device too. That is quite confusing too.

What file system I should use FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32?

Hi,

Please try "my" TF300T kernel for Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies (as of March 9th, i.e. 4.2.2). It has

- CPU Overclock to 1.7 (thanks to tf700t and untermensch's kernel)

- Various speed improvements from Nvidia kernels and mainly from Fanco's grouper kernel

- Sys interfaces for: GPU overclocking, undervolting etc. (also taken from Franco)

Disclaimer:

- The undervolting part needs to be reviewed. Not 100% sure this works all fine.

- Usage of Franco's Kernel App on the Market (or other apps) to overclock/undervolt/gpu overclock should be possible, as it uses same sysfs. Trickster mod seems to work fine, too.

Source code is here:

https://github.com/chrmhoffmann/android_kernel_asus_tf300t-1/tree/performance

Changelog 0.3:

- more tcp congestion algos added (westwood, etc)

Changelog 0.2:

- make an update.zip

- fix undervolting ladder

- make fsync on by default (if it crashes during undervolting, it might screw u - like me)

Installation via fastboot (taken from XpLoDWilD's recovery install guide, thx!):

Shutdown your tablet

Hold Power + Vol Down until a message appears (it doesn't appear anymore on Jelly Bean bootloader) ("Press Vol. Up to enter RCK (5s)") : DON'T PRESS VOL UP

After 5 seconds, a new menu appears (if it's not already there). Press Vol Down once to change to the USB icon, then press Vol. Up to validate (you have to do this in less than 10 seconds, otherwise your tablet will boot Android OS)

At this point, your computer should recognize Fastboot device (Windows will notify you here, OSX/Linux stays calm)

Flash image with fastboot: "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot-perf-kernel-tf300t-cm10.1-0.1.img" (if we suppose the .img is in your current directory)

Once the operation is done, type "fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot" to reboot your tablet

Many thx go to:

- Untermensch, Francisco Franco, TF700T devs, XpLoDWilD for CM10.1, etc.

Press like, if you like and it works for you.

Okey, Ive been using this kernel and I have mixed feelings. It is great for games and for battery (its about 10%=35 min), but my device becomes hot and I have some lags in UI (but it is very flexible for settings and Im too lazy to set it properly). Looking forward to new builds and advises from users :)

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Zadeis:
First impressions just after flashing it and using Francos App

- I can see this kernel uses the up to date Interactive governor which is excellent and I can already feel the difference.

- Voltage settings are definitely not working... Rom Toolbox shows the error "Failed getting voltages" and Francos App shows each frequency step upon in the tens of hundreds

ghz

range. Actual steps are fine as far as I can tell. It can go all the way up to 1700 mhz.

- Max GPU frequency is set to 600 mhz by default and in Francos App was able to set it to 484 (my preference)

- Max companion core can be set though I have no messed with it yet and is currently showing 600 mhz.

That's my observations so far. Getting working undervolting would be awesome and I have 5 bucks waiting for you if you can get the westwood tcp algorithm along with undervolting working chrmhoffmann :angel:

Edit: Just curious chrmhoffmann. Since you pulled quite a bit from Francos kernel from the nexus 7 did you also pull the part that disables the companion core and just uses efficient hot plugging instead?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] g2tegg:

Hi,

No. Don't know what that is. Gotta look it up...

Chris
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Zadeis:
I have a feeling the voltage settings are still wonky because Rom Toolbox is still throwing errors and Francos app is displaying the voltage area as such...

Unless Tegra 3 is weird and its supposed to look like that...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] chrmhoffmann:
The undervoltage sysfs is not standardized. So they might assume some funny stuff. Try "Trickster Mod" that seems to work fine.

Chris

Update: there are indeed voltage steps that have same frequency. I don't know what this means, but it is like that on tf700t (non-oc) also. Maybe this can get cleared up at some point, but I don't know why those duplicates exist.

Upon using trickster mod it seems to be the same basic thing as Francos app :confused: Multiple instances of the same frequency and some frequencies missing all together.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Zadeis:
Do you own Tasker? This can be achieved (with a widget even). I say this because I don't think the kernel dictates (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong someone) the clock speeds that the balanced\performance modes set. That way you can customize what speeds you want PLUS you can have individual apps cause the clocks to go up (such as games) when you start them and clock back down when using it normally. I personally use this setup.

Just something to think about as you may even prefer it while this kernel continues to be worked on.
