[Asus Transformer TF700] jt1998:
All,

Every once in a while, my notification/settings area in the bottom right corner goes awry. Instead of showing all the standard indicators and being pressable, it just shows the clock and battery icon, and is not clickable/pressable. Only way for me to toggle bluetooth, wifi, etc is through the actual settings icon. A reboot/restart fixes it.

Is there a way to fix this when it occurs, without having to reboot? Like a way to just relaunch the notifications/settings area? How do I go about figuring out which app(s), process is causing this?

Thanks so much,

jt
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You can try to restart your launcher because a launcher manages and deals with a user interface. You can give it a shot to see if it works out for you next time...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jt1998:
Thanks. I should have mentioned the most recent time it happened, last night, I tried relaunching Apex, and no change at all. So ended up rebooting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I never have that problem. Therefore, I don't have an answer for you. Good luck.. :fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It really depends on how much trouble you are willing to go through to fix this problem....

I can think of several ways to approach it:

If it happens at random without you knowing a combination of factors to reproduce it, it's kinda hard to capture a logcat. But a logcat may tell you what is causing it. I'm not very good at interpreting a logcat either, but you could post it here and some more knowledgeable person may be able to help you.

If you remember what apps you installed since it started to happen, uninstall all those apps, test, reinstall one or two, test again etc.

The horse cure would be to do a factory reset and start fresh. Since I have never heard of anyone with this problem before, the likelihood that it is due to something unique to your setup, is very high.

If even that does not work, I would re-flash the firmware.

[HTC Desire C] smoza:
Have you flashed something?

Is the phone rooted?

Did you try to boot to bootloader?
[HTC Desire C] steven81ir:
nope. the phone is just swithced off and dont want to come alive again. i dont have any idea whats gonna happens. is there any chance to try to get it alive again?
[HTC Desire C] smoza:
Have you tried to remove the battery, then plug in the usb cable connected at the computer?

I don't know if it helps... If it doesn't, try to turn on your phone into bootloader (vol - + power button together)

Anyway, how did it shutdown the last time?
[HTC Desire C] steven81ir:
nothing happens if i try to do like that. i tried everything. the pc dont see if i connect the phone. is there any way to connect to phone to the pc withour battery or something like that?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tuyulaneh:
I have the o2 XDA mini and just realised that after i adjust the screen to maximum brightness. When u press the camera button, the screen suddenly increased its brightness for 1 second before it enters the camera function. When u go to tools->adjust, you can even see that the screen turns very bright and clear which is much clearer than the screen itself on maximum brightness. Anyone knows whether that this only is a defect in my device or happens in every HTC magician. Try it and please tell me whether u seen the screen differences. After having the device for 4 months then i realised this effect hehe. :?:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ramram:
Your device is not defected it happens to other devices too depends on the rom that you're using.. ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kolbac:
depends on the rom????

i tried a qtek rom and a imate jam rom and they have the same

behaviour, in camera mode the brightness is increased.

i try also to hack the registry keys, but nothing happens.

who can explain?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gero:
Maybe its simply the camera application instructing the screen brightness to 'gain up' to make using the viewfinder for pictures in dark conditions more clear.

Alot of digital camera reviews say an camera digital display that gains-up at night/poor light is a plus as it allows you to see the subject of your photo more clearly (wanna buy a digicam and keep reading about this in all the reviews)

Could this offer an explanation?

Oh and P.s. My Qtek S100 with WWE 1.12 rom also does this.

Gero
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tuyulaneh:
Do you think that its possible to do something with the registry and increase them to same brightness as camera mode?? It would have amazing screen them!! I am really bad at registry tweaking hehe :oops: . Need advice from the pros pleaseee :lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] PdaAddict:
Screen Brightness increases when camera is on

Did anyone figure out how to tweak the registry so that the screen brightens can be left at the higher level that it switches to when the camera is turned on? I would really like to keep my Jam's screen at that brightness level at all times. There must be something in the camera exe file that changes the brightness level beyond what is allowed in the settings.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Hey guys, I've made an ugly hack to achieve this - brighter screen as you get with the camera, but in normal use of the PDA. However, it prevents the use of the camera until soft reset.

What do you think, could you live with this compromise?

YEP! please!

Me too! :lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Guys,

After having a brainwave this morning about how to do this, I've knocked together a little app to enable it. However, the technique has some issues I want to sort through to make it a bit more foolproof for you guys. It's not a great way to do it, but it does work for now until someone can think of a better way.

I'm a bit curious why HTC didn't enable it by default. It's not MUCH brighter, but it makes a difference, and going back to the old brightness is quite disappointing!

Just keeping you all informed :)

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] nmx77:
Great invention again.. :D

More brightness can't be that bad i guess...

....but doesn't it drain your battery quicker ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Chatty:
I suspect this won't only affect battery drain but display lamp life time. May be this setting is slightly above specs which is ok for a few seconds, but it might most probably decrease your displays life time if you leave it enabled for hours.

That's my assumption why HTC did not make it available to the average user.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
I agree. As it happens, I might not release this at all.

For now it only works once per soft reset. After powering off, it goes back to normal brightness. Then you can only get the superbrightness again after a soft reset. Too impractical to be of any use, but an interesting idea for me to play with.

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] xcilion:
When i put my hands on the Qtek S100 (MDA Compact to be exact, in my case), i was so amazed by the screen and its high resolution/size (i never had a PPC/PPCPhone before) but a co-worker of me bought the SP5 (aka HTC. Tornado) and that screen is 4 times brighter compared to the S100's screen.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Chatty - about the screen life. I guess it must be relatively safe if it's enabled by default in the camera mode. Potentially you can leave you phone in camera mode all day, and there's no automatic time out or power off or anything.

I imagine the issue is more battery life than screen life. And for most of us, I guess we'll all be upgraded in < 1 year?

v
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Chatty:
@vijay555: So any progress in making it usable? What API is used for that? RIL?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
@Chatty, as I said in my earlier post, I'm not going to release this because it's not properly usable. Yet :wink:

The effect works, and you have superbrightness across the system, but only until you power off the system. When you switch on again, I can't get it to re-enable the superbrightness or the camera until you soft reset. HTC have used some curious programming. So it works once per boot for now, and that's nearly useless.

I'm only using a very dodgy hack to do this (which achieves the goal), but the best way would be to reverse engineer the camera/LCD drivers, and frankly I haven't looked into this at all, no time.

I doubt RIL would help, I think this requires direct interfacing to the screen driver/hardware.

My way is simple, and works, but not something I would put my name to as a release product...just an interesting trick for now.

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
vijay555, if you don't intend to release this "software" can you share the trick?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
kta - let me see if I can pack it together into an app that won't cause hardresets. Soft resets I can live with, hard resets are a pain in the bum.

The trick? Sure: start the camera, click on the tools button near bottom right (you will now be in normal brightness), choose tools menu, then adjust. You should now be in superbright mode. the trick is keeping it there :wink:

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Chatty:
I wonder if your program would work on my Magician because I have removed the camera.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Chatty - what happens when you go into the camera program? Does it crash out? Did you physically remove the camera? Ouch, that's gotta hurt (the phone).

Offtopic, but work policy on cameras is a load of cr*p. I plugged in my ipod to work computer, downloaded 4gb of my desktop and took it home. What was I going to do, take a photo of myself? They have to focus on the realistic risk. USB is ++ worse then cameras.

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] code72:
I can't leave in that mode, if i minimize brightness become normal. What can i do to leave "adjust menu" open?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
That's the trick...

I'll try and pack the thing up tonight. No promises though, I have to go to the gym :(

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Chatty:
I physically removed the camera and when I start the camera program I can see it's title for half a second and then it's gone. That's all. And I did it because of a work policy. What they don't think of is, that you can transfer files via Internet. Even if you don't have direct access... you most probably get email access... and I don't need to tell anyone about steganography, do I? So as you said... they really shouldn't be worried about cameras :lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] code72:
We'll wait it. :lol:

Thanks Vijay
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Guys, this isn't really possible. I was pulling your leg. :cry:

Ustream seems to have found its niche in the live streaming of video.The app lets you broadcast live to any number on viewers of wifi or mobile data.In the new update, developers seem to have spruched up the joint.

Ustream is now much more attractive and should also have better video performance.

My nexus 7 have been fine till a few days ago until the 4.3 update rolled out, I have been using a slightly damaged charger(The chargers cable has some cuts). After the 4.3 update it seems I have had a hard time powering on the nexus 7 after its battery goes to 0%. I have been using my nexus 7 alot on gaming like 5-8hrs per day and i play mostly by charging at the same time (playing while charging).

after 4.3 came out my nexus 7 lost it root, i rooted i again. could this be a problem?

its been 3 days now my nexus 7 hasn't been charging well, it only charges upto 1% i can power it on but it power offs in a flash.

Is the battery damaged ?

Do i need to purchase a new battery?

Dear All,

Since a few days I've got the Huawei Ascend Mate Smartphone.

Huawei got the opinion that the Stock Android is not nice to work with etc.

Well I do like the Stock Android version and that's why I want to use their official Android Rom and change it to Stock as Possible.

But to get some more information to change the Launcher, Lockscreen and Settings I need to know where to Look.

For it doesn't make sense that if I add Novalauncher.apk or Tebuchet Launcer and delete the HW version that it will solve the issue.

Is there a site or a knowhow what which system APK is doing and what so ever?

Cause I dont want to annoy you guys with all these questions, but I need start somewhere.

SystemUI.APK for example, what does it do? I changed it, but dont see any differences.

If I add Trebuchet.apk to /system/app where do I need to change the fact that this will be the basic so when I do a new install the installer knows what to do.

If I'm getting further and further and I see the hanging out of it, I would like to merge from version 4.1.2 to 4.3.

I'm sorry if im one the thousend but Google did not help me with all my questions!

Thanks in advance!

You could modify a usb cable to sync only, by removing the power connections I suppose. It could be made switchable also if you are ok with a solder gun.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] marco99:
Hi,

interestingly enough, that is not true for LiIon Batteries. The worst you can do is, always decharge nearly completely and then fully recharge. The method that is recommend for all the 'usual' batteries is no good for LiIOn.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-ion e.g.

The dangers of 'deep' discharging are a lot worse than problems with a high number of recharges. The lifetime of a LiIon is NOT dependent from the numbers of chargiong cycles. And with the non-existing memory effect, there is no reason, not to recharge a LiIOn whenever convenient.

So, to summarize, do not worry about charging the MDA via USB.

Regards

marco
