[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ColtonDRG:
I wonder if this is a software problem. I suppose it's entirely possible that this phone has a red LED and a green LED and not an RGB LED like most modern phones.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Zokoro:
So far as I can tell, it just has red and green.

Also so far as I can tell, there are only simple on/off switches.

~ # cd /sys/class/leds/
/sys/class/leds # ls -1
green
lcd-backlight
red

Checking max values indicates 256 brightness steps (including 0).

/sys/class/leds # cat red/max_brightness
255

But a physical check shows that values 1-255 appear no different (i.e. all the way on).

/sys/class/leds # cd red/
/sys/devices/platform/leds-mt65xx/leds/red # cat brightness #checking brightness while off
0
/sys/devices/platform/leds-mt65xx/leds/red # echo 1 > brightness #looks like it's all the way on
/sys/devices/platform/leds-mt65xx/leds/red # echo 255 > brightness #looks exactly the same
/sys/devices/platform/leds-mt65xx/leds/red # echo 0 > brightness #led turns off

Checking lcd-backlight is the screen backlight, as should be expected.

I honestly have no clue if that could be software or hardware (I'm new to this), but I'd guess hardware. This is, after all, a $60 phone... For the money, great, but you lose some of those niceties like RGB lights with multiple brightness levels.

Edit: FWIW, turning both red and green on at the same time only makes an orange-ish red. So that gives us 4 states - all off, red on, green on, and red/green (orange)
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ColtonDRG:
Nice. Thanks for finding that. We'll have to utilize different flash rates in order to get any more detailed than that. As much as I'd like to say I'm disappointed that we got a crappy LED, we only paid $60 for this phone that, despite having a handful of shortcomings, is a very nice piece of hardware. It's got a recent version of Android, is super fast and has great performance, and has a bright and beautiful screen. Every time I learn about a new shortcoming like this, it's hard to feel bad about it because this phone is so good for the price. You get what you pay for and quite a bit more.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
On my phone, I also noticed that the red light is much brighter than the green light. I think that they used one of these LED Bi-Color Green/Red: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-RedGreen-LED-Guide/
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vipery:
I don't know what happen,but i will try to explain my problem.

I tryed different ROMS, but never switch out from Stock Roms (Stock, Genisys and now Imperium). I never had problems, everything always runs fine as it's supposed to be. However, yesterday afternoon i got the first "Camera has stopped working", Whatsapp can't access camera and also the camera Apps keeps FC. I tryed to reboot, clean data and cache, cleank dalvik. Nothing helped, so this morning i flash the last Imperium versio (5.0, i was onto 4.0).

It helps, because than camera starts to work again and no problem. After 7-8 hrs, the problem comes back again but also with "InCallUI has stopped working". So i flashed again Imperium Rom, but even at the startup Wizard the "Camera has stopped working" message appears istantly. When i finish the wizard, if i try to Call the UI does not appear (but the call starts and who i call receive my call lol). I tryed few flash but no helps, still got problems.

When i flash i go to TWRP, clean system, data, dalvik cache, cache. Then i flash the zip. I haven't installed any mods after, just messaging apps and social apps.

What the hell is happening and what i need to do to resolve this problem?! I thought switch to CM/AOKP/RESURRECTION and try another rom but i prefer to stay into stock .. I have also thought to flash KDZ of the last 815 release and than again Imperium, maybe it helps.

Any tips? Thanks for your time.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
try the KDZ. if it continues then it must be a hardware problem..

LG bridge is a nice utility to backup and restart app data on an lg phone. The problem is it can only restore to another lg phone :(. If you have a LG Bridge backup and then your phone dies like the boot loop of death then if your only backups are google and lg bridge there might be data you can't restore on a new non LG phone.

I've done a lot of searching and have not found a tool that would let you extract the contents of the backup. I did notice that 7zip was able to find one apps worth of the backup. after some digging it looks like for the most part the lbf file is a series of tar files combined. I've started working on a tool to extract the tar's out of the file. Right now my method is very crude and works more like a file carver then anything else. I'm able to extract most of the data from a backup but not all of it. consider this a v0.0.1. I wanted to share what I have now in it's current state because it might be useful for others. I do currently plan on improving the code (and likely hosting it on github) and then porting it to java or some other language that's a little easier to run on windows.

For v1 I would like to figure out the data structure some more to see if they have some sort of file table that I didn't see last night when I wrote this.

I'm not going to provide much documentation right now other then below is the php script and it looks for your backup called LGBackup.lbf in the same folder. The tars will be named something like "data_app_com.netflix.mediaclient-2_base.ap.tar" so it gives you an idea of what's inside each tar. I know it's not extracting the whole tar for each app and there's some apps that are larger then they should be like I said earlier this is not finished code but it should mostly work.

<?php

$handle = fopen("LGBackup.lbf", "rb");

$chunkSize = 4096;

$tarFooter = str_repeat(chr (0), $chunkSize);

$cnt = 0;
$tar = "";
$lastBuff = "";

while (($buffer = fread($handle, $chunkSize)) !== false) {
if ($buffer == "") {
exit('finished');
}

$lastBuff = $buffer;
$cnt++;

if ($buffer === $tarFooter) {
$footBuffer = $buffer;
while ($buffer === $tarFooter) {
$buffer = fread($handle, $chunkSize);
$cnt++;
$footBuffer .= $buffer;
}

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($buffer); $i++) {

if ($buffer[$i] !== chr(0)) {
break;
}
}
$tar .= substr($buffer, 0, $i - 1);

for ($b = 0; $b < 200; $b++) {
if ($tar[$b] === chr(0)) {
break;
}
}
$filename = str_replace("/", "_",substr($tar, 0, $b - 1)) . '.tar';
var_dump($filename);

if (strpos($filename, 'data_') === 0){
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $tar);
fclose($fp);
}
$tar = substr($buffer, $i);

} else {
$tar .= $buffer;
}
}

fclose($handle);
[G4 Original Android Development] lart2150:
I've done some more digging and it looks like reading the data at the very start and end of the file is going to be a lot more complex then I'm interested. My personal urgency has deceased as lg has supposedly repaired my boot looping g4 :). I made some minor tweaks to my code and it works a little better now I found I got the most data back by running my updated script and then using gnu tar to extract the tar's it made. for some reason it was able to overcome some of the corruption that 7zip didn't want to deal with. I'll attach a new file to the first post.

I think the next and possibly last thing I'm going to try is parse the tar file so I know how long each file is. Right now I'm just looking for 1k of null bytes but that's not always right as some times there's less and some times there could be 1k of null bytes inside of the zip.

Internal storage of my Smatrphone is damaged, so i could not use some of the apps ;(

There is an information "Demaged Internal storage" or "Damaged SD Card" depending on the ROM version. And it space size is 0 B.

It looks like hardware error, but when the smartphon is plugged into PC the Internal storage is working. It could by use as typical flash drive. It is not working only in Android.

How to fix it? I take into account to swap internal storage with SD Card, but i do not now how to do this in such case.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Heinous:
This is my first Samsung, and also the first phone I can remember using with a physical home button. I've searched around in the mess that is Touch WIz, and haven't found what I'm looking for.

Is it possible to set the home button to register taps instead of full presses, like the touch pad on a Macbook for example? It obviously knows when your finger is on it, so why do we need to press it in completely?

I'm sure I will get used to it eventually, but it would be nice if you could just tap/touch it like the two capacitive buttons on either side of it...

Thanks.

Why not just press the home button normally at that point? I feel like a simple touch would be activated all the time in your pocket on accident leading to lock screen issues.

I came from a Nexus 6p and somehow I feel bit odd to press the home button (I know it's silly). I don't think a simple touch will unlock the phone in my pocket as the finger print is still needed to unlock the device. However this is not currently working with the above suggested app.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
I never thought id see the day I'd get rid of my beloved Athena, but yesterday I had an awakening.

Only a few days before i'd had a play on an IPhone and marvelled at its intuitive, smooth and just bloody BRILLIANT interface. it almost shocked me just how crude, ill-thought-out and unsatisfying windows mobile is in comparison. Now please don't baulk at this statement; i'm NOT going to buy an IPhone, it doesn't do enough for me and it's overpriced. But remember, this is Apple's FIRST. need I repeat FIIIIRRRSSST attempt at the mobile os market. how have they got it right so effortlessly while Microsoft, with all their years of experience in the field continue to make such crap?

I have shaken off my bias towards Microsoft and now simply resent their seeming inability to produce a mobile os that works well.

I don't wish this thread to be about the iphone. We all know its only 2g, can't do mms and doesn't have a particularly good camera. what it does do it does WELL though.

The same is true of Nokia's n800 and n810 internet tablets with os2008. they play YOUTUBE with flash 9. they render web pages smoothly and effortlessly. they look and feel nice. my n95 also - its web browser loads up data-heavy web pages PHENOMINALLY quicker than my Athena, despite its processor and ram spec being distinctly inferior.

why am I getting rid of my Ameo?

Put simply: it just doesn't work. it works a hell of a lot BETTER thanks to PK and the developers, but to all intents and purposes, when you really need it to work, it just doesn't. This is true of ALL windows mobile devices.

How often have you needed to use Internet Explorer to check something on the fly and been frustrated by a constant 'connecting' or 'opening' message for no apparent reason? How often has your windows mobile device crashed, frozen or botched up for no reason? I could go on, but I prefer to give my own personal remedy to the situation, and here it is....

dig out my old Hermes, dust off the cobwebs. use this for all my organising, scheduling etc...

install WmWifiRouter so my Hermes acts as a perfect wifi access point when its HSDPA capabilities are required.

buy a shiny tiny black ASUS eee subnotebook for a little under 230 quid.

connect shiny tiny black ASUS eee subnotebook to Hermes access point when internet is required away from home.

sell Athena to anyone who hasn't realised Windows Mobile is crap yet.

it seems to me that Microsoft are about to fall under the shadow of Apple and Nokia quite abruptly. somebody tell me i'm wrong!

p.s. - Athena for sale if anyone wants one
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] shortyboy:
sounds like you either did a bad flash or got a bad batch coz my athena has never crashed once or had any of the problems you described.never the less,how much are you selling it for?is it an x7501 or x7500?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] spacecat:
i can see what your on about , but personally i find that my Athena(Ameo) ticks about every box i want it to.

I want an all in one device for browsing, streaming, phoning and texting and running some other apps and the Athena is the only all in one device that ticks all those boxes for me. I like the thought of the Eee PC but only if it can run XP properly but still you need 2 devices which isnt what i want to do.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] eaglesteve:
Hi Leoni1980,

I think its a question of how you configure your device. I agree that WM6 in its native mode is crap. It takes too many strokes to start an applicatio. It does not tell you what applications are active. It is difficult to switch from one to another. Yes, the list could be long.

However, I also find that with WM6 there are so many good third party software to overcome these limitations. While it takes too many clicks to start an application, iLauncher allows me to put every single applications on the today screen. While Wm6 does not tell you what applications are alive, wktask puts every running application on the taskbar and let me switch to anyone easily. WM6 lets me multitask. While pocket IE is crude in its navigation, pieplus makes it all pleasant.

For me, everything works extremely well. Athena is almost perfect in terms of portability, battery life, screen size and connectivity..

However, I agree that internet browsing is too slow. Even comparing it with a dialed up connection on a pc, it is relatively slow, unless I use the "mobile" versions of webpages. With the mobile versions, everything is snappy and instantaneous. Is Nokia not like that? Is Nokia able to let you browse the desktop version of webpages without any response time delay? If it is, microsoft would truly got to wake up and do something about it. Another thing that we have to be careful is not to fall into the trap of thinking grass is greener on the other side. According to Nokia customer support the N800 does not support 802.1X authentication with EAP-TTLS and PAP. Also, despite being a Linux based device the N800 lacks out of the box support for Ogg format media files.

So, Nokia is able to play the desktop version of youtube. I agree that this is a glaring disadvantage of Wm6 at the moment. W don't have the latest version of flash. Why is this the case is hard for me to understand. Why can Nokia have it and not WM6? Now, the only way to watch youtube desktop version is to download the flv files. Would be nice to be able to watch them without having to first download the videos.

You're now carrying two devices. A subnotebook and an old Hermes. This is definitely not a good way for me, because the subnotebook is too big and too battery short for me to carry it with me all the time. Not to mention that now there are two pieces of gear to carry instead of just one.

Having an all in one requires some compromises. You won't have the best digital camera in the world with this arrangement. Similarly, you won't have the biggest screens to go with it. There is always room for improvement, but for now, I still think Athena is the best device available in the market.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
if i had to carry the subnotebook about ALL THE TIME i would agree, however i have the hermes for when i'm unfortunate enough to have to use internet explorer mobile.

The EEE is not actually THAT MUCH bigger than the Athena, and has very good battery life- almost twice that of the Shift running Vista. It is also capable of running full Xp. there are lots of videos on the subject and the EEE manual even tells you how to do it. Although on paper the EEE has a poorer battery life it is also far more responsive and thus allows me to do things in a quarter of the time it would on the Athena. As such battery life is not really an issue.

With regard to the N95's ability to display full web pages - I promise you this is the case. I've even found it capable of accessing sites the Athena was not capable of.

I initially wrote this off as perhaps a better 3g transmitter on the N95, but i tested my Athena over wifi for the first time the other day and still it rendered web pages in a painfully sluggish manner, despite our relatively fast broadband connection. The same was true when tested with Opera. This makes me believe that there is an inherent problem with the architecture of windows mobile which even the greatest developer couldn't overcome.

I wholly disagree with shortyboy's bad flash assertion - I've owned windows mobile devices for years and this problem has always existed.

Nor is it a configuration issue. I spend most of my days off tweaking phones to improve their performance. The fact is that no amount of tweaking will make an Athena as good at rendering web pages as a nokia or an iphone. Once microsoft sees this they might (we hope) scrap their plans to release wm7 with (no doubt) its FEW performance tweaks, the cute little flag in the top left-hand corner and the new, hardly-improved I.E. and build a whole new O.S. from scratch which makes the most of modern mobile cpus, doesn't look 10 years old and does everything it should out of the box. That way stupid hybrid devices like the Shift would never get off the ground as there would LITERALLY be no need for them.

Yes the Athena ticks every box in terms of connectivity - unfortunately this fact clouded my judgment of its actual performance - and that of all such devices - yes you can purchase all the third party software under the sun to make windows mobile usable but this software only makes life a little better, it doesn't FIX the problems.

Just have a play on an n810 when it comes out this month and you'll see what I mean -os2008 is so smooth, well-considered and functional. Just try browsing the internet on it, or watching a video on it. It just WORKS and works well. Even OS 2007 outperforms windows mobile.

Cex sell n800s for 200quid. This month they will all be upgradeable to os2008. The pocket gadget side of me is SORELY tempted!!

p.s. its an x7500 t-mobile branded. It has the 4-in-one and lots of other bits.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Pantaloonie:
I agree with many of your points on the Athenas lack of usability.

Mine is used for little more than a wireless access point these days, I'm in prison typing this on my Asus Eee pc running XP, which is much more of a pleasure to use for email and web browsing. (Not in prison as an inmate, I'm an officer...)

athena project need an athena ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
Its here if you need it Midget.

eaglesteve - the n800 has no inbuilt GPS receiver, although it is compatible with map software (including gmaps and Nokia Maps) and any bluetooth receivers. Many people prefer separate gps receivers as they can be positioned more effectively in the vehicle. It is pretty much identical in hardware terms to the n810 aside from the built-in keyboard and GPS. processor and ram are the same and it has two SDHC slots as opposed to the single one on the n810.

I think it's a bargain myself.

Took delivery of my black eee pc today and I'm so impressed by its size and performance. Everything works out of the box, from BBC online to divx stage six to youtube. It even picks up and syncs with my Ipod, and you can mod the look of the os to your heart's content.

ALL FOR JUST OVER 200 QUID!

It's bigger than the Athena, sure, but I had to carry the Athena in a bag anyway and the weight/mass difference is negligible in this scenario. The battery life is not technically as good either - but it boots SOOOOOO quick that this almost isn't an issue. I can fire it up and use it when I need it if I'm out, and merrily use my old Hermes for practical pocket pc/telephone duties - even Wifi access point functionality.

I literally don't need the Athena anymore.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] eaglesteve:
I don't like a separate GPS unit. It means I need to carry two devices when I play golf, and can't get the fix prior to entering my car. Also, when I get off the train and walk, I can't use it to tell me direction to my destination as easily as Athena.

I still think Athena is the best for now. But I'm all ready to switch if there is a better product. I don't see such a product yet.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] TryOG:
WM6 = WM5 :)

Just think about that and try to realize that Windows Mobile 5 is A LOT OLDER than the OS'es on the iPhone and N800/N810.

WM7 will change a LOT on an HTC. (Different shell, different hardware)

And before you insult HTC, you need to wait on the new OS.
