[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flmachado:
Friends, I need help. I made a big mistake, I updated my Touch Android (that looks like IPAD), who was with the version 1.8.2 to version 1.3 of the M100 to solve the problem of not having access to Android Market.

The problem now is that version 1.3 is not compatible with the buttons on my device and I can not get into the OS, and worst, is no longer accepting upgrades to the old version (1.8.2) by the method of the directory (script).

Does anyone have any tips on how to upgrade this version? or how to force an update?

When I turn on the device with the SD directory and the script is the same symbol on the screen of Android and not updates.

I appreciate the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
According to the sprint 4g data map I am supposed to have 4g in my area. I type in my address and i'm "supposedly" in a very strong 4g coverage area, yet i have owned the EVO for over a month and have yet to see 4g at my house.

I contacted sprint numerous times about this issue and all they do is claim that I should be getting 4g but they don't know why I'm not, then I get transferred to another tech.... Sprint has by far the worst customer service of any major corporation I have seen in a long time.....

but anyways.... I'd really like to know why i'm not getting 4g when blocks less than a mile away from me are. according to sprint reps and the 4g coverage map I should have very good 4g...

So does anybody know what might be going on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aragorn182:
Well, you're not giving us much information to go on here. But, is the problem simply that you aren't getting a 4G signal inside your house? If so, that's perfectly normal. The 2500Mhz spectrum that Sprint's WiMax uses doesn't penetrate buildings well at all. Do you get any signal if you go outside?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
rooted or un rooted? stock rom or custom rom? newest radios?

details please!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
This.

And as stated, building penetration can be an issue. Have you floated around the town / neighborhood / city / wtf ever to see if you can get a signal elsewhere? :D

I can't get a signal at my buddies house, in the backyard (self described "lounging" zone), but on my porch I can get a solid signal. Matter of blocks away which is curious. Small blocks ... I guess as small as blocks go? But I'd check around! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahnile:
As stated earlier we need more info. Is your phone rooted and running a custom rom or are you unrooted running stock rom? Are you running the updated Wimax Radio? This is the two most significant questions that needs to be address before we can give a pin point solution for your issue...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
Sorry for assuming you guys where psychic...lol...

but anyways, i'm fully rooted running the latest evio rom with kings kernel #6. I have had plenty of roms from dc 3.2.3 to fresh to cm. I have always had the most updated radios and wi-max.

I get 4g in many areas around me, just not at my house, which is my dilemma. I think I got it ONCE while standing outside but it was very brief (I have tested numerous times outside and inside my house) I am on my third evo and none of them got 4g in my house rooted or un-rooted. Same with my bro's evo.

My concern is that according to sprint I should be getting EXCELLENT 4g coverage in and outside my house, yet I get none....

I'm assuming this is a network problem, since sprint is so so ****ty and decided to use dumb frequencies, but are their possible any "tweaks" that I can try?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
There are no tweaks I know of, but I have found that Clear's WiMax maps are much more accurate (and depressing) than Sprint's. See if they say that you should have 4G.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgalyan:
FYI,

According to Sprint's coverage maps, I should get great signal everywhere I used my phone.

In reality, I can't even consistantly make a phone call inside my house or office unless the moon and the stars are in perfect alignment...

Verizon and AT&T both work flawlessly in both locations as well.

Something about Sprint's frequencies that just don't penetrate buildings well at all and seem to be more prone to small "dead zones".

Wish I had 4G within 3 hours of here though...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00453:
they aren't sprint's "dumb frequencies" - they're clearwire's. sprint borrows it.

I see some conflicting information when searching google about this.

So which one is it? i see some serious colour banding in video's (obvious when compared to monitor), yet in some colour tests that i view on the phone there is little or no banding.

Its crazy when i convert a video, run it at the same time on pc and phone and the shadows on the galaxy s have serious green banding issues!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i take a guess you want to figure out what is the proper video colour depth to use for video encoding?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
you get a choice? i thought it encodes to the same bit depth as the original
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it depends which software you are using, also which codec you are using.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
using Xvid4PSP and have tried many others, none have colour depth options and all have horrible colour banding in shadows and dark scenes.

Even the original file before encoding (albeit the sound does not work) has this banding problem which is not visible on a pc screen

its an MKV file, tried converting it do xvid, mp4, avi, h.264, all of them having this issue
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
Tbh I've never ever experienced the problem of yours.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
try this

Try this out, it may just be that my pc screen has really bad colour representation (it looks much better without the green...).

Save this image and view it on your phone, compare it to your pc screen

I see a crazy amount of green pixels at the bottom when viewing on the phone

[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
Look on his cloak around the text that says 'Alchemy'

On my phone there is allot of green, on my pc screen it is all dark grey like its supposed to be

*Edit*

You must have the brightness up on the phone or you wont see it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i see what you mean now

it's 2 part

the colour as seen on my PC LCD it's a dark olive green/grey

on SAMOLED screen with all its sub pixels might have had trouble calculating the correct shade of green that should light up

that's just my theory, however i can say on my phone when dark is dark, it doesn't light up.

it could be enconding related info not processed well.

have you tried another player software?

or try watching some MTV with dark themes, and see if it does the same

if it's only on that Anime that it's doing that, i'll chalk it to be an encoding/decoding issue.

because if it's a screen issue, it should happen to all the videos/pictures displayed on screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
If the picture is fine on the pc but not on the phone then its a screen issue....

It disappearing with low brightness makes me think its likely a contrast issue as the whole scene looks allot darker on my pc screen and hides the blemishes
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Pretty sure it's a screen problem as the pentile submatrix isn't really suited for movies(or anything else for that matter). Some movies are just plain unwatchable due to the sheer amount of color banding. Hope froyo addresses this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
The thing is, it's not just dark grey. By zooming in on the picture on my pc I can make out purple, green, redish and yellowish/brownish colors among the greys. By comparing the zoomed in picture on my pc with the zoomed in picture on my phone, I would say the "greening" happens around these "impurities".

I'm not especially technical, but I don't think it's the screen(pentile matrix) messing up the color representation.

The calendar app on r5 for the behold 2 is the best I have seen so far. When in month week view you could click on an event and would get a little pop up with what it was. Also there was no default "my calendar" ,which is useless.

Any way we can push that apk that you put on that rom to this?

Perhaps a PM would be best?

But though others might want this also.

And correction to original post.....

Week view is the one that does not give a pop up when browsing through and click.
[General Questions and Answers] AaronLMC:
I would like to run my application with 180-degree rotation all the time, no matter what the current sensor value is. For 0 or 90 degree rotations, I would set screenOrientation to "landscape" or "portrait" in the manifest file, or call setRequestedOrientation() from code.

The problem is, the Android API doesn't know anything about the 180 degree rotation that CM provides, so it is difficult to access from within my application. I would be open to any possible solutions, no matter how convoluted :)

I'm running CyanogenMod-6.0 on the Nexus One.

Hi.

I noticed the kernel in all the boot images we have here are compressed.

Looks like gzip BUT, when you try to decompress it it just adds a bunch of bytes to the file top.

So is there any way to decompress dell's kernel?

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
I don't think there is at the moment.

We're currently waiting for dell to release the source code for the kernel, like they're legally obliged to :p

Thanks, but i mean just decompress.

ah, sorry, i thought you meant decrypt.

I'm not sure you could just flash it again after compressing it, wouldn't you need to sign it with google's test keys?

Hello,

I have an XV6700 that for almost 5 months now was running WM 6.5 flawlessly. I worked for a company that forces a passcode on the device. Now I never had an issue with the passcode until yesterday. Even though I kept entering it it assumed that I wasnt and after 5 attempts it hard wiped the phone. Which that doesn't bother me. But I have noticed since the wipe I cannot enable the phone radio any more and when it boots where it says R= theres nothing there. So basically I have a big ugly PDA right now. I have tried to flash to a different WM6.5 rom and the same thing happens. I tried to flash to the 1.43 radio but with the RUU that came with it, it did not want to flash and when I tried the RUU from the 6.5 rom I had it just errored out when I tried to update. Any help making my phone a phone again would be greatly appreciated!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbone213:
On Thursday the 29th my phone decided to take a dump on itself. Since then it has not been able to:

-Read any micro SD cards

-Connecting to computer doesn't fully allow USB connections, it detects something plugged in, but nothing else. No ADB, no RUU update, no Sync, etc.

-Cannot charge unless off

All of the above happened while trying to get onto the leaked Froyo. I cleared the cache and wiped the data then this happened.

I already ordered a replacement from Sprint (which I have yet to hear about), but I think I can fix this one by updating the OS.

Problem is that it downgraded me to a version earlier than the one that was on the phone when I first got it. Being on this version is causing a problem by not allowing HTC Update to even see any updates.

So basically I need to update without the use of USB or SD card.

Any help?

[Vibrant General] justanothergirl:
Well I've had my Vibrant for about a month now but have not been in a rush to root because there aren't really any ROMS available yet. I've donated so I'm excited to see what comes about. Any way I decided to go ahead and root today because frankly the bloatware was getting on my nerves. So I rooted the phone basically just flashing the upsate.zip and then flashing recovery via rom manager. Now I'm a bit frustrated because immediately after rooting:

1. My Vibrant is laggy as all hell!

2. Google apps crashes repeatedly

3. My damn market no longer works! Can't download apps via market anymore

4. My Sync is now broken, it says synced but definitely does not sync anything any time anymore.

What gives? Others have obviously had no problems and I'm certain I didn't do anything wrong, I've been rooting and flashing since the days of G1 and have had a Mytouch and most recently a Nexus One. I'm not fantastically versed but I'm no n00b all the same.

Also what's up with the radio? My phone rings and the ringer is low then a few seconds later gets loud also the delay between the time I dial a number and the number rings is pretty big, I've taken two phones and called one to check.

Any way I'm frustrated and unroot is not working, I attempted to unroot but yet remain rooted with all the same headaches.

Some help would be appreciated.

[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
You have to hold volume up and down while holding power. Once the screen goes black release power and continue holding volume up and volume down.

Your other option is with adb to do "adb reboot download" and it will reboot into download mode.

Once you get the hang of holding the volume up and down it's a piece of cake.

try installing one of eugene's ROMs through Clockwork, and see if that fix's anything.

Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed on your computer.

Odin can be tricky, here's my sure fire way that i get into Odin every single time.

DO NOT HAVE YOUR USB PLUGGED IN YET

1) Start odin load your .pit file and rom into PDA

2) Go into stock recovery

3) Now plug in the USB cable, Odin should recognize a phone is connected

4) In recovery select Reboot System

5) Immediately press the Volume Up/Down Button all the way in, (2 clicks)

6) should load the yellow triangle and say download mode plus Odin should recognize it immediately

Okie doke, thanks guys, I went ahead and used Odin to return to get back to stock so I'm going to just root again, I have no idea why things got so screwed up when I rooted and flashed before. Getting into download mode was annoying but this is what worked for me:

1. Turn off phone

2. Plug USB in

3. Wait for green charging screen

3. Hold Volume Up, Volume down, and Power.

5. Let go of power as soon as the screen goes black.

Open Odin and load files then hit start....and back to stock I went.
