[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbend:
ActiveSync seems to fail after sleeping for 10mins or more. I currently have the latest OTA stock rooted. Exchange ActiveSync works great unless my phone sleeps (screen shuts off and does not receive other alerts, email, SMS, whatever those will keep it 'awake' I guess) for 10 mins, at which point even if I turn it back on I still do not get email. I would really be thankful if someone with exchange (and a gmail or other account) could try the following and let me know their results.

1. Shut the screen off on your phone and let it sleep for 10mins (if you get an email or SMS or phone call shut the screen off and start the 10 mins over)

2. Turn the screen back on and go to the gmail app (assuming you have this) and send an email to your exchange account.

3. Wait to see how long it takes for your phone to alert you of a new email, for me it never does, if I go into the Mail app and refresh, or manually sync, or turn off Mobile Data and turn it back on, or restart the phone, then and only then do I get the alert.

This is with what I think is the HTC exchange code, right? I thought I heard Froyo was adding some kind of exchange support but I don't see it.

Again, thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbend:
Oh forget to mention, this is with Exchange 2003, I do have 'Enable Always-on mobile data' enabled, and this does not happen when on wifi.

Google Stock 'Email' app works

I switched from the HTC 'Mail' to Google's Stock 2.2 'Email' app someone pulled from the Nexus one, and the problem is gone, I'm not sure if I anyone else ever tried this or had the problem but if they do, thats the solution I used, too bad I have to lose the nice HTC widgets.

what is the PRL as of right now. isnt it 60668?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwajr:
No its ends in 9
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeren:
anyone notice a difference between the newest one and 60668? wondering if it's worth it to flash a stock rom just to grab the latest prl
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc442:
PRL change

i thought it was 668, but i started flashing a few roms and creating some nandroids and noticed it was 669? when did it change?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
I just checked mine after a post in General...I am still on 8. I have had my update off all day...it is one way for me to keep Google Talk from starting up. So I haven't seen it.

From the other thread people started noticing today? I am rooted stock..will see if it shows up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstorm:
I have rooted 2.2 with prl of 60662
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc442:
60669

well, i guess 60669 it is. ive flashed 5 roms just now to create backups so i can pick one that works best for me, and yup, im on 9 now. hope it for the better?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
So let me get this straight...no one is noticing when the update happens? It just happens? Like somehow they are pushing to us without consent? Ok that just kinda a little pisses me off...

...well unless that is not what is happening.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc442:
not a clue

nope, i didnt have any notice at all. i checked it when i was coming home from work and it was 8, then i checked about an hour ago, and it is now 9.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Mine hasn't changed, till I manually went into system updates and clicked on update. I am running the Rooted Froyo 3.23.651.6 ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Does this break the forced roaming setting people have?

Ok, mine had not updated at all...(rooted stock 1.47)...so I went to see if there was an update from my phone.

Lesson learned...it doesn't tell you about an update...it just does it. :(

So...question for everyone that has that forced roaming set up...does this break it? Anyone test it? I was going to ask that question before applying the update but didn't realize phone would do it automatically.
[Vibrant General] drewtang:
So I was attempting to flash the rom eugene posted today, went into clockwork, after i hit wipe user data, the phone hung forever on the wiping data screen(approx a half hour), so I pulled the battery and rebooted the phone. At that point it will not boot past the vibrant screen, so I am attempting to flash back to stock using JAC's ODIN method, and it seems to be hanging on the "file analysis" step. I have the phone in download mode, and istalled the samsung drivers using PDAnet. Anyone have any suggestions? Is my phone(hopefully not) bricked??? HELP!

Edit:I was able to finally get this to work, didn't realize for one that I had to remove my sim and memory card(had read this in another post, durr). I did have some issues with it hanging at the cache step. Just had to remove the battery and start process again about 5 or 6 times before it finally took. Just make 100% sure you never remove the battery while the little blue status bar is running, as apparently this is the only way anyone has found to permanently brick this phone.
[Vibrant General] almyz125:
the same thing happend today i was trying to flash eugene's new rom, and now it hangs in oden right here is as far as it goes:

<ID:0/006> Added!!

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/006> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/006> cache.rfs

it doesn't move past that.

pm if you find a solution please.

cache.rfs

Was stuck at cache.rfs ... tried reinnstalling drivers... checked xp to make sure driver signing was ignored... I had no f8 option.. I tried again and again ... I had dl all 3 rar'ed from this thread

[ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)

I was still stuck at cache.rfs after many many attempts..

then I downloaded just pit file from above thread and replaced old pit file with new one... both 1744 bytes ? maybe corrupted?...

I tried again and it worked )

basically following this

1. Put your phone in download mode by plugging it in and then holding Vol Up+Down and Power. As SOON as the screen goes black release power but NOT Vol Up+Down.

2. Launch Odin

3. Unplug your phone.

4. Load the pit and pda files into odin.

5. Plug your phone back in. You should now see one of the small blocks turn yellow and show you the com port. If not, something is wrong with your drivers.

6. Click start.

intructions after step 6 would not work

very scary but phone now back in operation

Does anyone make one cuz i don't want to give up my sense widgets for it. Or I guess if there is a way to use sense widgets on launcher pro that would be even better
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydeaner:
i dunno if i'm aloud to, but i want to bump this up since it is buried
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i have never seen a way to do this in sense. I doubt it is possible.

As another option MOST widgets can be replaced with 3rd party widgets that are very close to sense.

ie

clock/weather/toggles - beautiful widgets (or clock and weather from fancy widgets)

Bookmarks - if you get launcherPro Plus (paid version) you get this

contact widget - see above or try mecontacts free

if you have a specific widget other then those you love in sense let me know i probably have a very similar replacement.

you can get handcent to look like that. all you have to do is choose bubble style and in the settings of bubble style choose the color for each bubble (i.e. incoming outgoing).

[General Topics] android53:
I posted this on the galaxy s forums too, but it seems a little dead there.

As seen by the NoLED app over in the (galaxy S) dev section, and in a few other places on the net, people are finding that when they display a black image on their amoled/samoled screens in a dark room there is still light emitted by the display. it is not truly black

I would like to know why!

One thing i hear is about image compression and signal noise causing the pixels to not display #000000 black and instead a variant of black/grey causing the pixel to become lit.

This problem is not an issue during the day, i can't tell the difference when my screen is displaying black or off. but what it does effect is battery life.

If the screen isn't powering down its pixels then it is not saving anywhere near as much power as it could do

Were we cheated of our true black?
[General Topics] phatmanxxl:
My phone has the AMOLED. I did notice that I can see the backlight through a black screen, usually during boot up. It dosent really bother me. I didnt feel cheated or anything like that. The images look fine.

My phone could use better battery management, my MT3g battery spoiled me.
[General Topics] Mithent:
The odd thing is that there is no backlight on OLED displays - the light is produced by each individual pixel. It ought to produce true black as the pixels should be entirely off, producing no light at all.
[General Topics] seven7dust:
The problem with your analysis is that your using a third party app to test this,

what if the code is messing with the display ????

best way to test this is to upload a black image onto your phone and keep it on for a few hours , now check if the display is consuming battery in the battery usage screen, report your findings here ?

Btw normal AMOLEDS differ from S-AMOLED , they don't have true black so they need to turn on the pixels in the display to display blacks.
[General Topics] android53:
They should be the same actually, same technology powering the pixels, same lack of a backlight.

I did my testing on the galaxy S with its super amoled, showing a true black bmp image and the screen is still lit.
[General Topics] Mithent:
There shouldn't be any reason to turn on pixels to display black - black is the absence of light, so creating light to display black is rather counterintuitive.

Pure blacks can't be expected from an LCD because the pixels have to block the light from the always-on backlight, but they ought to be achievable (as far as ambient lighting conditions permit) from an OLED.

I do wonder if this is something PenTile-related, but considering that's a technology designed for OLEDs, you'd hope not!
[General Topics] iLoki:
The PenTile display, iirc correctly, has a white subpixel. Maybe thats where the light is coming from?
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
ooo .... ooo .... ooo .... does that mean by default no more BLACK screen of death?? :D

On a serious note, i'd find it odd that a program can screw up showing a black screen. Wasn't it usualy a case of (well in my day anyway!) poking #000000 to the "pixels" address? (or however many 0's you need for a true 16bit display)
[General Topics] android53:
it cant be because its a RGBW display because each led can still be turned off. there still is no backlight.

Also i doubt its RGBW, most likely RGBG
[General Topics] Mithent:
Yeah, pretty sure it's RGBG. RGBW is a different PenTile layout.
[General Topics] AndroHero:
omg you all need a life or a star trek convention to go to lol
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
you DO know YOUR on a geeky phone forum, right?:D

(Sadly though, i think you are correct!)
[General Topics] phatmanxxl:
My life is my phone, and the next StarTrek convention isnt until August 13th in Nj, so until then well debate about screen pixels and how black is black on an AMOLED.
[General Topics] maxpower097:
Are you guys using true black? In CMKY terms true black is not 100 100 100 100, or RGB terms 0 0 0. That means 100% color of each of the 3/4 colors. In the printing industry if someone chooses black like this from the color pattern it comes out as greyish black in print.

Heres a good artcle that should help you guys make a true black image in photoshop.

http://www.andrewkelsall.com/the-professional-designers-guide-to-using-black/

Hopefully after reading this you will find that the tests people are using and the color black are very volatile. First make a true black image, then test from there.
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
A black is easily achieved in assembler (and i'm assuming therefore in C) by simply setting the pixels on the bitmap to 00,00,00 (maybe a few more zero's for more colour range?). This is the "true" black of a device.
[General Topics] android53:
i used photoshop to get a high quality uncompressed RGB 0 0 0 bmp image.

the screen is still lit
[General Topics] maxpower097:
I'm wondering if thats the best way to test it. If your viewing your image you created in PS it could be rendering it into colors like 1,0,0 , or 0,0,1, etc.... I would imagine you would need to write a program that actually sets each pixal at 0,0,0.
[General Topics] X12345918:
Problem

The display on my s3 mini is not showing true black but a feint gray shade and it has few curved lines that are COMPLETELY BLACK...I'm wondering if I can make the whole display black as there is nothing wrong with the screen...I was unable to capture this on camera as it was too dark
[General Topics] MrAwesomePT:
I'm kind of late to the party but...

I saw that problem on my Samsung Galaxy Express (similar to S3) but I moved away from Samsung for a few generations. Now on my A52 I saw the same "problem".

Turns out it's the eye confort shield that turns the screen dimmer and yellowish, it was messing with the true blacks. I disabled it and couldn't see anything at all it was pitch black.

Not sure if that was the problem with my old Galaxy device... But it makes sense that when you notice it the most, is when that eye protection is active.

Hope this helps anyone

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bihnkim:
Before I had rooted my phone, all of my Caller ID photos would show up nice and clear when I was on a call with a person. Since rooting my phone, the picture that shows up whenever I'm on a call (assuming I have a photo assigned to that person) is a blurry mess.

I've tried clearing all the photos assigned to the contacts and reassigning them, but I'm still getting the same result. Since rooting, I experimented with all kinds of ROMs and kernels before settling on the stock rooted 1.47 with netarchy's fps fix kernel. Is it possible that one of the many ROMs/kernels I tried messed with the optimization or compression of Caller ID pictures?

Any help would be much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecklbrg:
I have the same issue. Except my pictures were blurry before I rooted...after I rooted the first time, after I un-rooted, and now that I am back rooted again. The stock Froyo picture is in good shape though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hot_Hands:
It's a problem on Google's end. Something to do with them downsampling the picture on sync to save bandwidth.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bihnkim:
Thanks for the help, guys. Turns out it is indeed Google Contacts syncing that's responsible for compressing the files. Turning off Google Contacts sync then removing the photos and reassigning them fixed the issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
Another way to do this is to leave all of the Google contacts without pictures. Next, create contacts stored only on the phone with the same name and the picture. Then you can link the contacts together and no pictures will ever be messed up by Google.

It sucks that it also seems to distort Facebook contact pictures.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Highfall:
Hello good people

I've had my I9000 for a couple of weeks now, and recently flashed it to JP3

At the version screen it says exactly:

PDA: I9000XXJP3

Phone: I9000XXJF5

CSC: Unknown

Build info: 2010, 07

The issue is that my phone follows a time on it's own. A couple minutes ago I set the time to 01:40. It's now 02:10, but my phone shows 02:05. After a few hours I suddenly find it 30+ minutes behind...

Here's the kicker though, I flashed it to JP3 to improve performance, but the damn clock is lagging. So I've voided the warranty, and my top of the line 1ghz smartphone can't even keep show me the right time.

Please.... help, I'm begging...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Go settings --> Date and Time. If automatic is ticked then untick it and set the time manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Highfall:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] psychoace:
Does it do the same thing if it's receiving it's time update off the internet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Highfall:
Yes, I've tried that too. When I set it to "automatic" and connect to the internet, the time doesn't correct itself, or even change. I've tried giving it some time, but it doesn't sync. Same issue, same lag. Even if it did fix, it would just be temporarily. I'd like to have it show time accurately even when it doesn't have access to the internet.

flash a new firmware, you can always go back to your old firmware anyway if you have to return it.

(i assume it was working fine before flashing)
