"I've received an email form o2 HQ saying that new EXEC (no name yet) will be availed B4 XMAS. If not, than Q1 2007"

can any1 confirm this pls?

As the title says. Why is there no mod/tweak/app to control the camera flash brightness ? For MotoG or any other smartphone.

Tried searching, btw.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z-WolF:
i don't know in stock but CM11 has an app (net.cactii.flash2) that does that, it has a low/medium? intensity setting and a "OH MY GOD! IS MELTING MY EYES!" setting. The camera seems to use the eyemelter2000 setting.

Did you tried to look for build.prop tweaks to adjust the brightness? There are a few tweaks but i don't know if it is a placebo effect or if it really helps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
The u-boot for nook colors with broken emmc's (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1511854)

has helped me save my nook. I now have cm7 working off my sd card.

However, since my nook still has no bootloader, I can't seem to access the CWM (although I did apply the alt_cwm files from B5 in leaplinar's threads). Any tips?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
What makes you think your emmc is broken so you need that u-boot?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
It wouldnt boot without it
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
There are lots of reasons a nook won't boot besides a bad emmc. Actually bad emmcs on nook colors are very rare. What repairs have you tried?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
I tried multiple cwm's, including all of your cwm fixes. The emmc repair zips wouldnt flash because the cwms wouldnt be able to load /sdcard. Ironically the cm7 sd allowed me to format the internal emmc so I can atleast use the 5.3 gigs or so.

Retried a cwm sd card but still wouldnt boot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you could format internal emmc, it is not bad.

Try making a bootable CWM and then replace the u-boot.bin. That should allow it to boot. Then run my repair zips.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
I get the following error after running "wipe data/factory reset" I get the following error: E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p8

does the official CM7 not include a bootloader? because after wiping everything it still doesn't boot. I also tried using repair 1,2,4,5,6,7,8 zips to no effect.

CWM version 6.0.1.2

edit: retried everything, it gives me an error mounting /boot
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
What were you running when you did that factory reset? mmcblk1p8 is an SD partition.

After you ran the 1245678 zip did you run the format zip?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
yup. Still a no go. still on 6.0.1.2
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
By no go, what do you mean? The zip failed or there was no improvement?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
First time around there was no improvement. Now I'm just getting Status 7 errors.

edit: redownloaded all the files again just to make sure.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
nothing changed. running CM7.2 stable.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
Also tried installing Stock 1.2 with the stock bootloader, still would not boot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
When a status 7 occurs it has text saying what the error is. What was it?

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

And to answer your original question, the u-boot.bin that that user modified was a very early version and had no boot menu. That is why you cannot boot to the alternate CWM from my thread.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
Assert failed? A reboot fixed it (I ran the repair partitions zips and forgot to reboot).

just saw the second part, thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Which assert? The one about /factory? You need to be a little more specific so I can diagnose and maybe help repair your device.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
I haven't been able to replicate it. Maybe it was just a one time thing before the reboot applied the new partition table.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
So, is your device ok now?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
Still won't boot properly. Black screen on boot without sd.

Should I unlock using HTCDev or will we see an alternative in the future? I would like to reclaim my warranty by restoring to stock if I need it rather than being screwed even if I restore to stock this is why I'm asking.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] P05TMAN:
I'm personally going to wait for a few months. Something is bound to come out like it did for the HTC One M7 (rumrunner) that will allow root and S-OFF without HTCDev.

Also the thread referenced here is an answer for now. While temproot may not be available for AT&T M8s, I find it hard to believe that someone won't work on a way around unlock, root, S-Off without HTCDev.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
I'm wondering....has anyone needed a phone exchange after rooting? When ever I've had a faulty device I just contact AT&T, tell my issues...they trouble shoot then send me a new phone with pre paid box to ship out my broken one. How will it be any different his go round?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] aysiana:
Ok yes, I know that people can use the Sprint Music + app to subscribe to and set ringback tones to calls/contacts but I am wondering if there's already an existing app that will allow people to use music they already own to create their own ringback tones and set them for calls/contacts so we won't have to pay fees to do this? If there is not already an app capable of doing this, is it possible to create an app that could do this?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bimmerbot:
Considering that the ringing they hear is generated by the service provider, before it fully connects to your phone, I don't believe an app could possibly accomplish this from the phone side.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] InoySoft:
There is even better solution!

We've created an app to do it the right way. How it supposed to be!

Now, you can hear your favorite music or ringtone, while you waiting until call is answered.

Total brick well the G2 is booting to the bootloader is almost impossible, so relax and be patient... Google would have quickly given you the answer, http://bit.ly/1jMMKqw.

There is a fix for this here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451696

If that doesn't work, your best bet is probably to do a complete factory restore from the TOT images here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

Like [MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION] said, you need stock recovery to take an OTA... NEVER take an OTA if you have custom recovery installed, it will softbrick your device (the state you are in now).

On another note, why flash a custom recovery if you are on a stock ROM? There isn't really much of a benefit to it in that case if your not flashing a custom ROM, unless you are doing nandroids, and if you did one just restore it and you should be good to go.

I had about over 4 hours screen on with around 30% left and close to 3 days no charge. Today i have less than 2 hours screen on 17 hours on battery and already close to 40%.

I still have an old Nokia carkit in my car and I was thinking of replacing it with one of those brodit cradles. My main problem is that I don't want to use the cigar lighter for power.

Is it possible to just cut the usb connector of the cigar lighter loader cable, connect it to one of the cables from my old Nokia carkit and use this for loading?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bryson:
Dont do that, its possible you could fry your device or at least do some damage.

I am biased, yes, as I retail the Brodit kits, i would advise spending a little more and getting the 971671 Molex Hard Wired kit that allows you to safley hard wire it to your cars power system, and also power any BT GPS reciver with an additional Molex adapter lead that fits your unit (Holux, Edo, Haicom etc)

Hope that helps, if you need any advice, drop me a line,

Thanks,

Bryson
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cobra25:
I think I'll look into that option, it seems a lot safer and easier.

Is it hard to do the fixed installation yourself or is it better to go to the car dealer and have them install it?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] bryson:
Hi,

It depends on whether you have easy access to the console beind your stereo head unit, and how familiar you are with the wiring, not all cars are obvious as to which to attach the loose end cables too!,

- also, if it is a car you care for and need to keep warranty on, I would sincerley recommend going to a dealer, it should not be too expensive, its quite a quick job, depending on your car, and if you do go the Brodit route, you can fit the Proclip and Molex holder yourself, thats a 2 minute job,

Hope that helps,

Thanks again,

Bryson

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR MINIUSB CABLE TO THE CARS MAINS

Yes, you will probably destroy your Prophet. USB powered devices run at 5V, a normal computer USB port can provide a maximum of 500ma. The voltage in your car is 12 volts and a direct connection can provide whatever current that leg is fused for. Don't worry about the current DO worry about the voltage. The cigar lighter adapter most people use contains a voltage regulator to reduce the voltage to 5v and a very low current fuse. The one sitting on my desk is 2A (2000ma). If you want a do it yourself solution you can get a 7805 voltage regulator at any Radio Shack or any other electronics supply store. You wont even need a heat sink as the Prophet is desined to only draw a few hundred milliamps and the 7805 is rated at 1A. There are only 3 leads on the 7805 one for the 12V in, one for the 5v out and a common/ground. These are not the most efficent regulators but will be fine in your car.

Have you ever tried MailWise Beta? It allows you to bypass the exchange security lock if that is something you are interested in or if you company policy enforces that. I think it has a nice interface as well. I guess it all depends on user preference.

If that doesn't work for you, you could always try MailWise Beta. They have an option to turn that off as well with a code. Download the app, before setting up your account, open the app, hit the menu button, click on exchange bypass and follow the instructions.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parthnatu:
I started using ADT to develop new Android applications recently. After a number if tests,I found the emulator to be painfully slow for me. So I decided to use my Razr i to debug it directly. The device is recognized and shows up int the debug list. But when I try to run it, it cannot install the .apk file for my application and says "INVALID APK FILE". I've tried this with various other applications too and it still doesn't work (so I think I can eliminate the possibility of something being wrong with my app itself). Also, I am using Anerik's JellyAOSP ROM. Anybody for a fix?

Or didn´t export signed APK? U can make ur own key by File->AndroidTools->Export Signed APK...

Did you allowed "install unsigned Apps" in your Ri Settings?

Maybe some "Manifest" Settings / Permissions? Install Directory: Auto?

I don´t use my Ri to develop, so i never face this problem.

Also be sure to not use 64bit Java or 64bit ADT !!!

I can also test your APK on my Stock RI if u want...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
how much do you talk on the phone? what is your signal like?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nman17:
Signal is almost always at full bars, so that can't be the issue.

And around 3-4 hours minimum of voice calls a day.

Battery usage almost always show both the screen and voice calls draining the same amount of charge and sometimes the latter uses more. That shouldn't be the case, right? [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
3-4 hours of voice calls daily? theres not really snything you can do about the battery loss during phonecalls, the screen and phonecalls are the largest battery users.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Try turning the screen off during calls so you don't trip the proximity sensor.

Also if you know there's a long call coming up you can disable all other radios such as BT, WiFi, even data. Close out any apps especially games. In this way you should theoretically be able to push 10-14 hours of voice calls.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joannn:
Battery drain from voice calls.

First of all 3-4 hours voice call each day is very normal.Mine is around 6 hours.:o

Sometimes if you're finding your battery is running out very quickly, it could be an app that's doing a lot in the background and thus using extra battery. Maybe something changed with the 4.4 update that caused this app to consume a larger percentage of your battery. If you think that might be the case, in addition to the standard battery-saving tips posted here you might also try starting your device in safe mode (instructions and info here) and not running any apps you've installed for the day to test if one of them is using a lot of extra power. If you don't experience unusual battery drain while in safe mode that's a good indication that an app you've installed is the source of your issue.

Hope that helps!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nman17:
[MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION], that's a bummer. I always thought that phone calls should drain a lot less power than the screen. [MENTION=5707977]joannn[/MENTION], all other apps have been greenified, it's just the dialer app that's open. I still get very respectable battery life. Around 5 hours of SoT on my Nexus 5 after 4 hours of talktime, but the voice calls are a huge part of the drain. That's what I wanted to address. Cause the battery can last a whole lot longer then!

[MENTION=869935]jj14[/MENTION], why be content with that if you know you can do better?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
voice calls take a large amount of battery because they maintain a constant connection while sending data(voice/sound) back and forth. id say it probably uses more energy then the screen itself.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
If you're fine with not doing anything else with the phone, then why not? Smartphones are used to do much more than just phone calls, all that power doesn't just go away when you decide to make a phone call.

Any of the things I mentioned earlier in this thread could help to achieve the 14+ hours of Voice Calls. Of course most people need more than just Voice Calls and will be unhappy disabling everything else in the mean time.
