thanks Robson...but i have sent to back for a replacement....i tried it in my reader but the pc could not see the sd card...so i went out and bought a 128mb card while i wait for the new one to come....had no problems with the 128 worked straight away
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] monika69:
thanks for the tip - from now on FAT is to be my solution

one more thing to add, I do have 256MB SD card on my XDA I and WM2003, ver 4.0.21

I can use my 256MB card to the full limit, the card has been formatted with CnetX format utility (www.cnetx.com) with FAT16 and FAT32 and apart from the fact that content has been missing from time to time, so I had to re-load the files ... when I locked the card, everything is fine now

regards,

monika
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] monika69:
today I have tested sandisk 512MB SD card ....

I am allowed to fill it up to the full limit of roughly 484MB

I am curious about the other thing .... buying 512MB SD card for its prce it's almost a rip-off and you get only 484MB in return, I remember old times back with IPAQ + PCMCIA sleeve with inserted flash card 1280MB of sandisk - the size written on the back of the card WAS EXACTLY matching what PPC2002 was showing .... 1280MB

to me it seems like either different "disk geometry" or disk format - can anyone explain it to me pls

Will allowing Ubuntu 12.04 to do a system update break the adb install?

I only ask because sometime in the past I allowed an update on an older version of Ubuntu and it did break one of the installs of adb. But I think it was an install of adb via google and source build.

Thanks for the info and advice
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Should be fine.. Update to 13 could be problematic.. Ubuntu is not so hot on full os update..

Most backup and do a fresh install of the new os

hello peoplel

i want to get started at building roms for my gallant and I would love it if you could help me.

it has a MT6575 single core processor, 1gb of ram.

There arent many roms for this device (just 2, and those are basicly stock)

any tips are welcome
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadehh:
So i did a quick Google search, however, i didn't find anything answering my question.

So when we think about android we (at least the ones who knows their thing) we know it is related to google. However, so far i know that Android is open source, correct me if i'm wrong, but that means that anyone CAN "cook" their own rom of android. (As soon in the numerous threads in android development). So far so good.

A while back i recall reading Google forbidding Cyanogenmod of including their multi-window feature (the one that allows you to surf the web and watch a youtube video simultaneously as seen in Samsung devices(Note 1/2 probably S4 and S3(?)). Anyways, my guess is they came to terms where they can agree or did Samsung ignore what google had to say? So to make a long story short, what are google's rights when it comes to android?

Can google, for instance, if it doesn't like what a manufacturer is adding to their phone be it a feature or a skin say that they only want manufacturers to stick to the AOSP look and if they do add their own skin they will be taken to court? Can they do this?

Just curious to understand how things are running here. I wanna know the rights google has and if it could have went to court with samsung because of using the multi window feature.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkAtHome:
I think that you are asking a good question, to which I have no answer, but would be interested in following this.

Personally, I would like to see an Android ROM devoid of Google.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
My understanding is while 'Android' or rather the AOSP is completely open source and free to use as you like, there are parts that Google have restrictive licensing over, or example the 'Gapp' (gmail, google+, play store etc). Manufacturers then also hold rights over the parts they add into Android (skins, other apps etc.).

Google has no control over manufacturers sticking Android on a device and that manufacture changing Android in anyway (hence the many many random Chinese devices), however Google can prevent a manufacturer from having a license to include the play store etc if they are unhappy with whats being done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Google didn't forbid the CM team from including it, they said they would restrict access to the Play Store for devices running CM. The Play services is the only thing Google has power over, since that's their proprietary service. They cannot prevent someone from making a device that runs Android, since that's open source.

And I so believe Samsung's method is different, because apps require some changes before you can run then in multi windows, so you can't just run any app (officially, that is).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadehh:
I see. Doesn't that in theory mean that Samsung could just take their sgs 3, remove all google services and smack their own play store onto it or am i missing something here?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Oh they could. But then it would be blocked from other Google projects as well.

[Motorola Atrix 2] vijay_968:
My Atrix2 flew from my hand and fell flat on its face onto the tiled floor, from about 8 feet height. The phone appeared to be fine, but I felt roughly about 2% its pixels became dead. The phone was fine otherwise but the dead pixels were plain irritating. Didn't have time to visit Moto service. Guess what, on their own the pixels are becoming alive, which was predominant today evening. I think, about 1000 of those pixels are still dead. Those of you who are knowledgeable on LCDs please explain this self curing mechanism. Am I lucky? For info, phone runs on stock ICS and screen is ON for about 2 hours a day.
[Motorola Atrix 2] abd-hhh:
Me too, but I think the cold weather was the reason, lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vijay_968:
Thanks for sharing. But, I live in Bangalore, India, where it is hot nowadays. There has to be another reason.

The past two weeks I was reading a lot of pdf docs on the mobile. Is it that the prolonged voltages to the pixels brought them back ? Happy anyway.
[Motorola Atrix 2] abd-hhh:
maybe if anyone has this problem shall try to completely seal the phone and put it in the freezer,,,, then tell us the results.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shamsud:
I had the problem but i replaced the lcd under warranty
[Motorola Atrix 2] vijay_968:
That's a good one! Removed the battery and kept the phone inside the freezer for about 4 hours. Then dried it under a fan for 5 hours. Switched on in the morning. Voila, hardly about 200 pixels at still dead. Will try to bring all back to life in the evening. Thanks a lot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Hey, sorry I just saw this.

Are these Pixels dead, or simply stuck. A dead pixel is black, and never on, a stuck pixel is locked to one color. Stuck pixels are common, and actually a certain number per screen are allowed to slip through in manufacturing, but if you have a bright one, it is really annoying. (trust me, I know, mine has a bright green one in the lower right since I got it.)

Stuck pixels can sometimes be cured just by time, and more commonly by flashing multiple colors rapidly in the problem area. There are many apps for this in the play store. They don't always heal, but it is quite common, unless you are me, then they never do.

Dead pixels probably do not heal under normal circumstances, however yours were caused by the shock of being dropped, which could have just disrupted some of the stuff in the screen, and potentially they could self heal.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vijay_968:
Thanks for the info. I had lot of black pixels (in clusters) scattered all over the screen. The flashing screen apps could not make any impact. That idea of keeping the phone in freezer really worked. After three brief visits into the freezer, only about 90 black pixels on 6mm, 2mm & 1mm long lines remain. Week end may see the end of these too. I owe this to XDA.

BTW, only today measured the screen size, to know the count. It is a rectangle of 96mm x 54mm; 10 pixels per mm.
[Motorola Atrix 2] abd-hhh:
And the good thing it heals for ever - I hope so - it's been about 6 months since the screen heal it self, and since I watching it when the device over heat from 4G usage, and still okay, lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] vijay_968:
Wanted to report that ALL those dead pixels are alive now, after the phone spent about 10 hours inside the freezer yesterday night.

So, folks, those of you with dead pixels on the LCD screens can try the freezer method proposed by abd-hhh, before visiting the service center, if you don't have time or are out of warranty. I hope the dead pixels don't appear again. Here's hoping for the best :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] rosman_izam:
My Motorola Attrix 2 got same problem

Hi. I've tried your way to restore those dead pixel. In first time try, those dead pixel seem cured a little bit, but then it becoming back as before where those dead pixel reappear again. So, i tried one more time, but only 4 hours in fridge (not in cold storage), the dead pixel come to alive, but then still turn to dead... I just wonder, what temp of your fridge when you put your atrix 2? Did you wrap it closely tight? I want to try above then 4 hours, but i just afraid my phone will really 'dead' totally. Can you give your steps how you doing it?:p

When I was using the cliq xt in some 2.1 roms there were dead pixels but when we moved to gingerbread it was fixed. Dont know what happen

[Motorola Atrix 2] katak555:
Wrap with some paper then remove the battery and kept the phone inside the freezer for about 9 hours. Dry it with some tissue then switch on the phone. All dead pixel is gone (before is 4 hour in freezer about some dead pixel left after that the dead pixel spread back):cool:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Dishe:
This is awesome, I'd really like to try this on my phone as it sounds like exactly what is happening.

A relatively minor drop, with no physical damage noticeable, has caused some pixels to go black/colors. However, I noticed that move sometimes! Like, one morning I woke up and found the pixels that used to cover a certain notification on my home screen had shifted over so I could see the notification!

I tried applying pressure and noticed that I could sort of make the dead area get bigger, then let go and the edges would sort of return to the earlier size. It almost seems like the LCD has too much pressure being applied and that's what is preventing those pixels from working. That's why I think the freezer trick works- the temperature changes cause the metal and silicon to expand and contract, hopefully returning the screen to its original position from the factory!

Here's my problem though- I don't have a Motorola Atrix. I found this thread doing a search. I have an HTC One X (sprint version, EVO LTE), which means the battery is built in. Should I be concerned that putting the phone w/battery into the freezer is a bad idea? I'm guessing due to condensation?

Perhaps it is worth dismantling the phone to remove the battery? What do you guys think? I tried to find reference of people doing this with other non-removable battery phones (cough* iphone *cough) but couldn't find much on that topic.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Az-one786:
It's should work on any device with lcd screen.. But with battery inside...., I can't gift any word on that...

Btw.., If u wrapped any puff-up battery and put into freezer it will back to normal shape and still can be use normally... :p

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigbabyjesus:
It's no harder than flashing any other Rom. Just do a full wipe before install.

Roms based on stock firmware are usually more stable than CMs or other aosp, but I ran Jordan stable for a long time without issue. Might just need to wipe your caches and fix permissions, or do a reinstall of the current rom.

Please hit Thanks if I've been helpful at all.

I've tried two different SanDisk 64GB SDXC Class 10 cards in two different Bell Galaxy Note II phones. In each case, my phone status changes from "normal" to "modified" after a reboot. I can read and write from/to the card just fine but the phone won't check or pull down Android updates. When I take the card out or replace it with my old 32GB PNY card and reboot, status goes back to "normal". I waited to see if the next Android update might fix this but it didn't. By the way, one card was purchased from Amazon while the other was from Best Buy so they weren't from the same batch. Also, one of the phones that I tried this with was brand new, unused and still at the Bell Aliant store where I purchased the original phone.

Take this for what it's worth. No one else on here seems to have experienced this issue.

I have tried the XDAUnlock without success on my SIEMENS SX-56 with ROM version 3.16 and their latest A.20. :( The solution is Special Edition ROM (SER). :shock: However, as I did not want to spend the time building my own ROM, I found this web site. www.yorch.net . 8) From this web site you can from the ROM Kitchen cook your own ROM within a few minutes. To save time figuring out, here is a tip: Unselect a few applications (except XDAUnlock) until you get the ROM to a manageable size (See red bar turning to Green at top of web page). Select the “XDA-developers AutoConfig data” under 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro and build an installable version (.EXE). Download the package once created. (I suggest that you contribute to their web site donation since this will save you a lot of time :wink: . Believe me as I spent many hours resolving this lock scam :roll: ). Connect your PocketPC with Active Sync and run the package (BACKUP BEFORE). You will now get the famous XDA ROM with XDAUnlock. Navigate from the phone folder under programs to find the answer to freedom from your carrier. You could now chose to keep this ROM or reload the ROM from SIEMENS following the procedures to upgrade on SIEMENS website.
