[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lojak29:
Quick question?....now that the 4.4.2 ota official update has came thru. Does anyone know of anyone working on a stock rom mirroring the 4.4.2 ota.. In a flashable rom zip form... Not g.e or miui just the same ota 4.4.2 in a rom form ... for those that dont want to update to 4.4.2?

Alot of people use the Metro PCS s4 m919n which is the same as m919 literally besides the metro bloat and we use tmobile m919 roms..all day on Metro s4 thats why i asked ...

becasue it may be a easy way to get 4.4.2 on metros m919N which as far as i know has yet to se a 4.4.2 update.

If this is possible im thinking about flashing Odin uvuemk2 on my METRO S4 making it a official stock m919 4.3 then trying the 388mb update.zip that someone has managed to mirror from the ota. That should put my m919n on tmobiles 4.2.2

Dont believe any bootlaoder or baseband issue will arrise these phones are super identical And run eachothers roms from 4.1.2 all the way too what we currently have.

Any insight will be great:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
No bootloader or baseband issues will a rise, I've successfully ODINed quite a bit of tmo specific stuff onto my M919N and it works perfectly fine. It's now a M919 of course.

I'm a bit confused about your question though, so you do want 4.4 stock tmo on your S4 or not? Or are you asking of the possibility of getting a 4.4 stock M919N ROM that's still metro? Because if you just simply want 4.4 stock tmo, all you have to do is odin the stock firmware like you said and make sure to triangle away if your device is custom then you'll be able to OTA and get 4.4
[HTC Wildfire S] Kesselaar:
Hey people. I'm kinda new to the game of flashing etc. Currently I'm running Viper on my HTC one s (and loving it)! But that's not why I'm here. My old phone (mums current phone) is a Wildfire s, so what I want to do is root and flash a custom rom for it in hopes of increasing the battery life. I know cm is pretty good with battery, but are there any suggestions as to which rom I could use? Or may be better? Maybe even a jb sense?

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Wildfire S] polfrank:
Hello. I think that, in terms of battery life, the stock rom is the one that lasts the most.

Wow, was not expecting that. It doesnt have the best battery life. Thanks for your answer though

I'm stumped on whats going on with a tablet I received to fix. I bought a digitizer with no version number, only to get a digitizer with a version number (GO3). When its installed I get ghost touches in the top right of the screen. I messaged the seller and he said that it should still work with the no version number digitizer. Is this true? ... Also when the digitizer isn't connected it get touches going crazy across the screen, so I'm also wondering if its the PCB board and not the digitizer lol

Anyone any knowledge on this?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Reflash the touchscreen firmware again should eliminate it, if there's nothing wrong with the digitizer. You're not the first one with this problem. Look around a bit and you shall find a solution, like here.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly9:
Thanks for your reply dude. I have already flashed the blob off the asus website, does this include the touch drivers?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a fraking toaster:
im in the same situation were i have to flash the updated firmware so i can get the new digitzer to work.only issue is im not sure how to do it without having to use the touchscreen.even if i had a usb or bluetooth mouse i would still need to turn on the bluetooth on the tablet or install the mouse drivers right?i been trying to get into the tablet with adb but i get an error.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f69m:
You can just plug in a USB mouse and use it, no special drivers needed. This is not Windows! ;)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a fraking toaster:
lol ok,theres no usb port on there so i took the usb charger pluged it in and make a makeshift usb female to female adaptor and plugged it in and nuttin worked.maybe wired wrong idk ill check tomarrow.does the screen need to be unlocked for it to work?

update:SON OF A B**CH I WIRED IT WRONG lol.

update 2: rewired it,still no mouse or anything.not sure if i need the screen unlocked to see the mouse,if so then im back to figureing out how to get the screen unlocked
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f69m:
The charger is a USB device interface and for the mouse you need the USB host interface. The dock has a USB port or you can get cheap USB host interfaces for the tablet from eBay.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larscn:
You might have to update the firmware on the PCB. As far as I know you need root to do this. Attached file is firmware that works for the GO1, but it is said to work for all 4 versions. Update firmaware in ADB shell:

$adb push 02-3011-4820.ekt /sdcard/
$adb shell
$su
#touch_fw_update command -u /sdcard/02-3011-4820.ekt

Found this firmware on a post here somewhere on the forum. No idea where to find it elsewhere...

I think maybe ghost touches can come form connectors not fully inserted or broken PCB's if you have disconnected and connected digitizer without turning off the service switch or disconnected the battery.

Hope this helps. I've just completed replacing my own digitizer. Description of how I did it here: http://www.snart.com/?p=764.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a fraking toaster:
ok so i got the dock and managed to unlock and root the tablet (i think) but i cant flash the firmware cuz i need to flash it in recovery but i cant use the dock mouse in recovery.what should i do.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larscn:
To flash the firmware you need to enter an adb shell from your computer, or possibly you could do it from a terminal emulator, but I would recommend using adb. You need root to flash firmware.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a fraking toaster:
ok i was hoping i wouldnt have to do it through adb,gotta learn sometime tho lol.i believe its been rooted,i i was able to install team wins recovery.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a fraking toaster:
were do i put the firmware update,do i just put it in the internal storage?

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

nevermind i figured it out,i just put the file in the internal storage and skipped the adb push part and just did the

$adb shell

$su

#touch_fw_update command -u /sdcard/02-3011-4820.ekt

...awsome got the touch screen workin again,just need to figure out the charging issue and i can get paid and live for another week woohoo.

After the update to Kitkat, 4.19.401.9, there is some noticeable lag in some games, like Flappy Birds & Pou. On both, a completely stock One & on custom ROM (IncertCoin). I know it is not Kitkat because on a both games run very smooth on the Nexus 7 (2012) on Android 4.4. Also, before the update, they were very smooth on the HTC One.

Are others facing similar issues?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
Okay, I was using the camera flash from time to time as a torch and then the VJCandela app came along so I used that too. Usage maybe 2 or 3 times a week for 2-3 mins.

Now I have a very dim camera flash light, it actually looks like there is a black or brown spot in the center of the LED. I am pretty sure it is damaged, now and again it takes on a blue tinge if I test it again.

So I guess its back to O2 for warranty :(

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
I know this is of little use after the fact, but there is a warning on the site.

This is the sort of thing that HTC should have thought about when including a flash LED on the device. Do they not do QA testing? Do they care that they are getting a lot of gear back for warranty repair?

I blame their close ties with Microsoft for this, after all, MS are the masters of rushing something to market and fixing the problems with it later, are they not?

I actually use VJCandela too, so I'll be back in this thread when my flash breaks to say "ME TOO!!!1!11one!" =)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Guys, what kind of periods are you using it for? The latest release has a built in timer to switch itself off after 15 seconds, but even then, are you using it for long blasts or just the odd flash?

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bloney:
Hi Guys,

No disrespect meant here and really not at all knocking Vijay555, but if the flash is used in a way it was not designed to be used then yes, it'll probably fail! Vijay555 warned of this and you took the risk. And to amazingly come back to knock Microsoft about it..?!

The flash will have rating for continuous use and for pulsed use - if it's used continuously at it's pulsed rating, it will fail.

Again, not knocking anyone, but keep it in perspective guys!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I don't have a problem with vijay's app nor my flash as I don't use it that much. But my comment was directed not on the flash of the Universal, but to Microsoft as an entity, seems to me they just want to do what they want rather than consider also what the consumers want.

Same here... I didn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] daryl425:
you broke your own toy

My thoughts are with bloney on this one.

You broke your own toy, and now you want to blame someone else for it. The LED wasn't built for continuous illumination, but you ventured forth anyways. if it was actually meant for that, they probably would've included a free app for it anyways. not defending M$ or HTC, but try to use some common sense before you get over-enthusiastic about your expensive toys. It already does alot more than other expensive phones, without the gimmicky hacks, at a relatively good price (for me anyways). and because opportunities for good things to come cheaply for me is valuable, I try to treat it as such. You probably should too, instead of complaining here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
daryl425 - I don't think anyone's blaming anyone else here (I hope :oops:), but IMHO there are two competing ways of looking at VJCandela and similar hacks:

1. They're all unsupported by the Manufacturer and OS designer. There may be a good reason for that, so play it safe, and don't risk your system with unsupported/unofficial products; or

2. Live on the edge, unlock, reflash, use and abuse your hardware to get the most out of it. There will be casualties of war - expect it.

I think most of us are wise enough to use our own common sense and live somewhere between the two extremes. If the Universal had cost me $1000, I wouldn't be using it as a $0.50 flash light, risking my hardware.

I wrote the app, for the fun of writing the app. I don't use my Universal as my main phone, so I can "afford" some minor damage to it in the pursuit of art. But, I strongly advise everyone else to use their own sense, and not sit on the flash for 30 minutes, or do anything else that might risk their precious hardware. Frankly, I hardly use the app at all. However, on the odd occassion that I do, it's come in handy. And it warms my geek heart every time :wink:

So, use caution. But remember, every single piece of software you use that isn't official (and a hell of a lot of those that are) could damage your system. Be careful!

But - don't forget to have fun as well. Think how much innovation has come out of this board and guys prepared to push their systems beyond the limit (ie Buzz et al. I don't consider myself within that heady band. I'm just a tinkling tinkerer).

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
hey guys,

its not such a big deal if you burn your flash! I just went to the local camera store (not the digital ones, the age old film based cams store) and found a flash led with almost the same size and rating. I opened up my device (just once again!), took the "dimmed out" led and replaced it. Of course, i got the connector pin from my previous flash led and used the same one. Now it works fine, and i guess the quality of this led is much better.

cheers,

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
To clear up:

I haven't blown my flash (yet). I rarely use it.

I mentioned MS in a disparaging manner because they have a history of releasing products without actually making sure they are ready to go to market (hence all the ServicePacks and patches), and this seems to be what HTC did with this LED. MS works very closely with HTC and I made a joke about the behaviour pattern being contagious.

Whilst I agree that this unofficial hack is intended to utilise the LED in a way that it was not designed for, which idiot sat in his/her lab at HTC and decided that nobody would ever send their PDA in for a warranty repair because of it? Surely this is the kind of thing that bean counters go nuts over? To put an LED that is a little more reliable would have added a penny to the manufacture, as opposed to spending pounds on postage, labour, parts, time, customer support and so forth.

If it can be done, it will be done. Surely this burning out will happen with normal usage too? How many people use the flash on their mobile to read with in bed, find something in the car, blind their friends as a joke? This is nothing to do with Vijay's app, it is a bad choice of materials, costing HTC money and reputation.

I hope this clears up my thoughts when I posted earlier in the thread, and if not, just put it down to too much Slashdot reading =)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
PReDiToR - I entirely agree. Although, should a hypothetical guy on the Clapham Omnibus feel the need to trade in his Universal for a newer one, it might be a convenient way to make a warranty claim...

I've never known LEDs to blow unless wired incorrectly. Of course, as stated, it was only designed for bursts, but even so, as you say, LEDs costs pennies, the Universal doesn't. Hopefully, that won't be our loss, and get them to think about the economics of such components in future.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bloney:
Hello again Guys,

Not wanting to drag this on or to disagree with you Guys, but I've been looking at some LEDs at work (eg http://www.luxeon.com/pdfs/DS49.pdf) for use in a LED strobe and there's a whole load of LEDs out specifically designed for use as a flash.

So, assuming a purpose built flash LED is used in our HTC devices, it's not a matter of an inferior components being selected, but rather an entirely appropriate component that is designed for a very specific task.

From the data sheet, it states that for flash applications the maximum current (up to 1A) should be used. But for continuous operation 350mA max.

All LEDs have a finite lifetime and trebling the max rated current will obviously cause the component to fail pretty quickly!

Obviously the LED I've looked at probably isn't the one in the HTC units (could be though!), but hopefully shows that HTC might not have just been skimping on the flash!

Having said all that, I most commonly use my flash as a torch, so it's good to know it's replacable!

Hope this is of interest - it isn't meant to be not picking!

No flaming of freeware and shareware

Hi Vijay.

I certainly don't remember a flashlight feature on any adverts for my MDA Pro. Once again, it's good to innovate, but users really can't blame you/HTC/MS/etc. only themselves for this. This is just like the classic CPU overclock situation, you can rev it up, but most people advise to watch out for any burning smoke if you push the pedal too hard :)

No one here is blaming you or your app, me certainly least of all. My point, just like bloney, is that before someone screams and shouts and cursing out other people, they should really take a look at themselves first. Although most shareware developers usually leave the standard "Use at your own risk" sign on their apps. Something else users should remember.

But then again, if they're screaming and shouting and cursing other people out, they might not be all that good to look at in the first place :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
Out of interest though??? I know you can leave the flash on whilst using the camera app, I used to use mine this way before. But does the flash timeout on it's own? Also is the flash actually brighter when using Vjcandela as opposed to the camera app? I never noticed it being any different?

Just wondering if I could have done exactly the same thing with just using the camera app over time? After all it does not work like a flash in a traditional sense.

As I said before, keep up the good work Vijay :)

Regards, Simon
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Guys, I think I've said everything that needs to be said on this thread in terms of why we write and use "cutting edge" apps, and risk "bleeding" :)

Simon: the current version (on my website and XDA forums) has a 15 second timeout I think. This can be overridden, but the override also has a timeout, so it shouldn't be possible to sit on it for toooo long now :idea:

The flash is enabled at normal brightness as used in the Camera app. It can go even brighter, but in the circumstances, it's probably not advisable, eh?!

As bloney says, I think the LED is probably rated differently for burst vs sustained current, so hopefully the camera app wouldn't normally burn out the led. But I suppose we'll find out over time with those using the camera app a lot?

Hello Guys,

I have a Question, which I don't know if it shall be here or in the Q&A section. But, as it is a useful question for development I posted it here.

So, que question is fairly simple: How can I know where the ID Register stores data to know in which mode the USB Slave is? I mean, how does the Phone detect the resistor we put in the ID Pin of the Micro-USB and where in the kernel code is it used to put the device in the correct operating mode?

If you clarify me this, that would be wonderful!

Thank you very much,
