[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenKranged:
AFAIK its a samsung thing, and an annoying bug in my opinion.

I don't use auto brightness or power saving in the phone settings.

If I have my phone set bright, I'm most likely in a bright environment. So if I need to open browser I'm going to want the same brightness. The same is true if I'm in a dark environment and have the phone set dim. The video player has the same problem. Samsung should really stick to hardware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
If you set the phone to auto brightness it disables that option, and puts the browser at the same level as the phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slmhofy:
It literally lakes 2 seconds to adjust it again from the notification bar if you have auto turned off. Not a big deal IMO.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
It is *extremely* annoying for those of us who don't use Automatic Brightness. It's this kind of trashy little things that send people running for iPhones...

Is there an AOSP version of Browser.apk I can push (KB5 2.2) that doesn't have this? I don't care about losing the window previews or other touchwiz features of the browser, I'm just *sick and tired* of having to change my brightness settings a second time every time I want to browse the web. Third party browsers are too bloated and don't do it for me... I just want the stock Android Browser, but with the SYSTEM brightness setting only... Like every other Android phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXSUNG GAL:
I'm getting ready to use the one-click method to root after having my EVO for a week. I don't need anything super duper fancy on my EVO, I just want it the way it came stock but I want su priviliges, busybox etc so I can have wireless tethering (sprint be damned if I pay for that service!) and ability to overclock, etc. I guess I'm gonna have to flash a custom ROM for step 2 or something like that if I understood correctly; which one should I use? PS I taught myself how to root my trusty ol' Moment; is this just as complicated?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXSUNG GAL:
It took all night but I finally did it...!

....used a combination of Simple Root and a custom ROM from joeykrim to get root access FINALLY and the FIRST thing that comes through - literally - the moment I got done fixing my phone back up the way I liked it was a notification to do an OTA for Froyo....lmao....don't think so!:p

[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
I've tested enabling CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY in a 2.6.33.4 kernel for CM-5.0.8.

Use kernel mem{cpy,set}() for {copy_to,clear}_user() (EXPERIMENTAL)
CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY:

Implement faster copy_to_user and clear_user methods for CPU
cores where a 8-word STM instruction give significantly higher
memory write throughput than a sequence of individual 32bit stores.
A possible side effect is a slight increase in scheduling latency
between threads sharing the same address space if they invoke
such copy operations with large buffers.
However, if the CPU data cache is using a write-allocate mode,
this option is unlikely to provide any performance gain.

Empirically there seems to be an improvement not in snappiness but when

heavier i/o is involved. The only test i could think of so far is:

WITH CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY

/ # hdparm -tT /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2:
Timing buffer-cache reads: hdparm: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD: Inappropriate ioctl for device
78 MB in 0.51 seconds = 154505 kB/s
Timing buffered disk reads: 42 MB in 3.03 seconds = 14171 kB/s
hdparm: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD: Inappropriate ioctl for device

WITHOUT CONFIG_UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY

/ # hdparm -tT /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2:
Timing buffer-cache reads: hdparm: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD: Inappropriate ioctl for device
24 MB in 0.56 seconds = 43828 kB/s
Timing buffered disk reads: 15 MB in 3.11 seconds = 4938 kB/s
hdparm: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Attached you will find a boot.img and modules.sqf or modules.tar.gz for CM-5.0.8 if you want to test it.

For a fast test you can use fastboot to boot the kernel:

sudo fastboot boot new_boot.img

For more extensive tests you maybe need to copy the modules to your device

(the .sqf or tar.gz depending on your setup DeathSPL/AnySPL) and eventually flash the boot image.

DON'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOWTO!!!

Attached also my kernel config.

Critics and hints on whether this could be useful are welcome.

Enjoy.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
I find that the battery goes out of calibration within a week on my Nexus..not by much, I mean, it's just a 10% or less difference, but when I freshly charge my phone overnight, power it off while it's still plugged in, wipe battery stats, and let it charge for another hour while powered off, then turn it back on, the battery life is fantastic. By the end of the week, with the same amount of use, I'm 10% lower at the end of the day than I was at the beginning of the week.

But I'm wondering if there's any kind of damage I could be causing to my phone by wiping the battery stats once a week?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vakman:
I don't see how wiping the battery stats could harm the phone. They are small files, I guess eventually it will wear out much like a USB Flash drive would. But other than that I can't see any harm in doing it. Just means your device has to write files a little more often.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android01:
How does one wipe the battery stats? are they stored on the SD card or internally through application manager?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vakman:
You can wipe them through a custom recovery manager such as RA-Recovery or ClockworkMod Recovery.

Not sure of other ways.

Some are even cheaper than that. Though nothing beats free from HTC I suppose.

I went to buy a car dock and it looks like they are back ordered.
[Nexus One General] artesea:
When I lost my original case and couldn't find it anywhere in the house, I got one from Hong Kong off eBay. It was only £2.50 including postage, and when it arrived it was clear that it was a second (stitching a bit off) but it did the job.

Then last week when visiting the mother-in-law she looked at my phone and said, "ooh I've got one of those upstairs". Turned out I had left it there and never realised.
[Nexus One General] omer1112:
I ordered mine off ebay from hong kong as well... found mine in my car the day it arrived (a week later) :o
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
$60 for the desktop dock now? They must be off their damn rockers!!

It's worth maybe half that to me. How do they expect to sell those things for double what people are willing to pay for it?! Completely insane. Thanks Google and HTC for the royal screwing on accessories.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] USMC-Delta:
Title says all.

on the dialer for the eris, there is something called smart dial. enabling u to basically use the dialer as if it was a T9 keyboard to find people on your contacts.

The smart dialer recognizes 3 methods to find people. either, type someone's phone number and it'll match the number with the person ie i type 123, it'll finnish it with whoever has 123 in their number..

Or type 262 for the name Bob, and it'll find bob on my phone or..... type 5363 for J Doe

As the phone can also recognize the first letter of a contact's name and can Finnish it with the last name.

Can we port keypad on the droid?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] TheSSJ:
Well, i know only DialerOne...it has 2 of the 3 requested functions...I use it on my milestone and I'm pretty impressed...maybe this helps?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] ParalyzingKings:
Not sure about HTC's smart dial as I have never used it but on my droid I hated the stock dialer, went to Dialer One which was a vast improvement and replaced the stock dialer on my phone for good.

That was until I found TAKEphONE, it does everything you want and more. Takes a lil to get it setup exactly how you like. But I think that is a plus that it has so many different settings.

It isn't free but I can almost guarantee you will be pleased with it. Light years ahead of the stock dialer.

Tried to link it on AndroLib, but I am not allowed, a search there or on the market will find what u need.

I see that HD2 doesn't come with a Task Manager, or at least I have not discovered it yet.

I have used good freeware task managers with older versions of Win Mobile. I am wondering whether they might be compatible with the HD2 and Sense? For instance--Magic Button, Vbar?

Anyone used those, or any others, with the HD2?

PS Now I have discovered the Task Manager that comes with the HD2.

Still wondering about using alternative ones, like Magic Button, Vbar, or others. Anyone here doing that?

Maybe for a similar reason as to why people post pics of their cars in their sigs...

I put my tethered speed test in my sig today, never have done it before.

And I used to be one who put the basics about my phone in my sig (phone, rom, kernel) but that changes so often it's just a pain in the neck to keep up with.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohr:
The same thing could be said for pretty much anything anyone puts in their signatures. Why bother have a witty quote? Or a picture of your favorite car or dog or sports team?

Well, actually the software version information might actually be helpful to give context's to a user's post. For instance, if someone is giving me advice on which ROM to install on my EVO, and according to their signature they are still using a Mogul-- I think I might take their advice slightly less seriously.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HondaCop:
HA!!! I thought it would take longer for someone to say that! HAHAHAHAH :D Yea, I guess you are right.

I don't really get the point that much here either because the amount of variation is not that great.
