[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMiller35:
I had seen a friends Samsung Vibrant and he showed me how you can actually raise and lower the brightness settings of the phone by holding your finger on the status bar for a second and then swiping either left or right on it to adjust the brightness levels.

Just a cool feature if anybody is interested in investigating it.

Thanks,

I've seen this in action and it's pretty cool. Wonder if it's hiding in an .apk somewhere....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rac2030:
As far as I know, its in the framework Part and @kmobs tried it but needs help with the linear layout ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex788:
Any application?

Is there any application with this feature? To change screen brightness INTO the status bar.

Any one can create such application?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
You could :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
There are ROMs with brightness controls in the notifications.. Open Notification bar, tap the icon.. Has various options from Auto/30/100 all the way up to like 5 or so options. I tend to leave mine on Auto except when I'm using the phone as a car GPS in which case I need it brighter, and I let Tasker do that for me. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CommanderThor:
Hi!

I searched a bit around internet and this is not so uncomon issue, so i started this thread, to see how common it is.

In mine case first curving of keyboard appeared in 2 months. At first it seems innocent, just a little higher keyboard, just not perfectly flat anymoe. But than buttons rly become curved and the whole keyboard moves up a little. Now some letter at the top are comming off already! I see the light through holes in keyboard, i realy didnt expect this from a phone like this, as hardware quality is overall very good. Except for keyboard i suppose... Now it makes very much noise typing..

At some forum i found verizon replaced this curving with no issue, but i dont realy want to send it into repair, in my case it would last 1-2 months, i know it sucks..

So i was wondering abaut gluing it, but first i will probably buy replecement for ~10EUR and use superglue all over edges, expecialy bottom, but i don't seem to find any instruction on removing keyboard on the google, even youtube only has dissasembly for internals. I tried with nails a little and it seems keyboard will eventualy come off by itself lol...

Very dissapointed, anyone else has this, or is this not so common and i should make a waranty request?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Tander_ZA:
Howzit guys,

Wanting to know - is there anyway to change to a different (Not a sliding one) type of lock screen? Just find it annoying at times

If so, how do I go about doing it?

Thanks!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Danifamous:
Don;'t know if you are looking for an app or a actual rom mod.

There are plenty of lockscreen replace apps on the market, such as Lockbot (I use pro on OD)

which can give you customisable hero, flan, eclair and froyo lock screens, and can upgrade to pro to use X10 and Galaxy lockscreens.

There are plenty more, but this is the one I use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickley:
Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread, but I haven't been able to find a good answer.

The Bluetooth stack for HTC Sense based android phones has some Bluetooth limitations that do not allow it to pair to Bluetooth game controllers, keyboards, and in some instances mobile (car) audio. I am not a developer so I only have a basic understanding how this works, but I've read that it is due to the SPP profile included being out of date.

A lot of Incredible owning Ford Sync and BMW drivers out there seem to be having issues syncing the Incredible, and I personally would like to be able to use a Wii controller or the Zeemote with my device. I bought a Zeemote for mobile gaming, but I gave it to my Droid X owning friend because it works great on stock Android, but refused to Sync with either my Incredible or another friend's Evo.

Does anyone (especially those people porting non Sense Android 2.2 to the Incredible) know if it would be possible to replace the HTC Bluetooth stack with a stock Android 2.2 Bluetooth stack? Ideally a user installable (with Root of course) APK.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autopie:
I'd also like to know if this is possible/why it is not, even though I'm increasingly falling in love with CyanogenMod (especially as 6 seems to be nearing a stable release)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharra1:
You have to download Bluetooth file transfer app from the market. Works perfectly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanzer:
Are you saying this will get our incredibles working as a wiimote?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrchambo:
Which one? Author?

tia,

jc
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Officially, Android does not support BT HID, which is needed for wiimote.

Cynaogenmod has added it via one of the devs who made it possible.

Their code is on github, if you want to attempt trying to port it to Sense based roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickley:
It's interesting that the Non HTC phones i've tried it on have worked fine if it is a problem with Android in general. I guess Motorolla added their own stack.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Try it on a samsung phone. Its not HTC only.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namolas:
All we need to do is find an amazing chef like the guy over at Phandroid who makes the FrankenROM. I have 100% faith that guy could pull it off if he tried. He is freaking amazing! :cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhammyDroid:
Yes, can someone fix this. Full bluetooth functionality on 2.2 would be awesome!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickley:
Good to know about the Samsungs also having this issue. I've not had the opportunity to test a Samsung Android phone. Seems everyone I know has HTC or Motorolla.

You have far too much faith in me :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetteichert:
Last I looked your the one who fixed the sound issue on the dinc.:)

I am with the op on all this. Cyn6 is nice and all but it still is slower then 2.1 sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhammyDroid:
link please? what issue is that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhammyDroid:
Is anyone willing to cook up full bluetooth functionality in 2.2???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaronax:
I would kill for this on a stock 2.2 rom w/root. I have a lot of SNES and PS1 games that suck with touchscreen controls.

I will donate money.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhammyDroid:
Anyone interested in adding bluetooth?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altesean:
Please anyone smart enough to figure this out?!?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Horsetooth:
Well, let me go over the situation and then I will explain in more detail. I know that this question is probably a bit technical and will probably require some knowledge of windows networking in order to tether with my Android. I'm trying to use usb tether from my Nexus one (froyo 2.2) running Rod R4 based off of Cyanogen R3. It works fine on any other computer. I'm trying to tether it to a Windows 7 corporate computer. I would like to get internet on a work computer :D. The pc at work is hooked to a inTRAnet and is firewalled, and IT is taking FOREVER to get my new login. Even though I don't have admin, I can easily run Firefox portable and hook up my Nexus to the pc with usb tether without a problem. Now HERE is the problem! Firefox keeps looking to the company network to access the internet as opposed to my Nexus usb tether. I have messed around in Firefox connection settings Tool>Options>Advanced>Network>Settings. Tried changing the proxy several times. I was able to stop Firefox from "looking" for internet on the company inTRAnet, but not able to redirect it to my Nexus usb tether. :confused: I have used Tmobile proxys and ports, I have used apps such as NetGenie Lite, NetTools,Network Discovery, Network Info II to attempt to find the necessary IP config to proxy, but no luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I have searched all over Google and XDA but I couldn't find anything even close to this situation. Thank you in advance for any help in the matter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shiny_Lucario:
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read your post all the way through, sorry. I'm not sure how you'd do that. I'm pretty sure you'd actually need admin to do it, the only way I can think of doing that would be to set your phone's connection as the default one in windows networking. As far as I know, Firefox asks windows what network interface to use. There MAY be a way to change it in the config files, but I don't know how you'd go about doing that (be careful if you're going to mess with them, or else you might break your FF install).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elmejor183:
Well from what i know i dont think you would be able to get the computer to set up the virtual connection adapter in the network connections since you have no admin privileges on that computer, What you can however do is get another Portable USB drive or a blank cd-rom disc and set up/burn a live image of the Ubuntu distribution onto it.

(you can find many other live linux set up distributions though...but i prefer Ubuntu)

Then just boot into the BIOS device selection by restarting the computer, select the USB drive/cd-rom disc which contains the live image.

Once you are in the operating system, connect your phone let the system find the phone's network adapter connection and voila, you should have internet access.

This method is sort of a hassle, but would work for many people behind proxies, firewalls, etc in schools, government buildings, and etc.

Just ask if you need a more detailed explanation.
[Droid Incredible General] zeke1988:
Did anyone got this? Usually my signal is around 2-3 and none in my break room. But today, i got 3 bars. Also, 3g speed is around 800mb. Usually 350-450.

From Boston.
[Droid Incredible General] fortesquieu:
Did you install the latest leak?

No. I'm using skyraider 2.5.2 with king bfs kernel and 2.15 radio.

Wicked awesome.

Not bad, pages load fast over my 3g and super fast on my wifi.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] k0shi:
how do u install this? i downloaded the fennec.apk and transferred it to my sd card but when i look for it on the phone i cant find it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rickytenzer:
Hahaha

Do you know WHERE you transferred it to?

Start there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Stuart.upton666:
go onto the market and download astro file manager, it allows you to access the root of your sdcard, open the app and look for the apk you downloaded click on it and press open app manager, click install and hey presto apk installed ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ka24e:
Lol... download File Manager for the market, make sure you enable installing from unknown sources. Then just launch it via the file manager or Browser download window...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ka24e:
Damnit, beat me to it...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] k0shi:
i use Linda file manager is there a difference? i assume its just like installing live wallpapers? i dunno they are both apk files haha
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] k0shi:
btw does it have to be in a specific location? i didnt put it in any folder just on the sd card

OMFG sorry newbie epic fail i still had the usb cord attached -__-' haha thanks for the help guys

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] faizalmzain:
it's too slow.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pakraider:
really? its as slow as ant for me, lol. uninstalled after playing with it for a while..

too bad the stock browser is awfully slow at scrolling too.. xScope works really nicely though and is fast.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thrik:
Too slow, too buggy, and way too big. gtfo :) lol

Well hopefully they do better in a later release.

BGR has published a picture of an upcoming HTC device destined for verizon. From the leaked specs it sounds like a real high end device. Anyone have more speculation on this device? Could be the first real device that tempts me away from my nexus. So far all the latest devices have not sold me on build quality, looks, and feel. This thing looks like the nexus taken to the next level!

Of course this is BGR so it is put up next to an iphail.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
What the hell is that nasty ass iphone doing next to that beautiful device?

GRRRRR, I hate BGR so much.

Anyway, looks like an Evo for Verizon, nothing more.

All these devices are looking good, but personally I won't be upgrading until the next line of processors come out (1.5 GHz etc). No reason to switch to another phone if it has the same amount of power. That'd be a sidegrade.
[Nexus One General] malicious85:
that's the same sentiment that i feel, with the unknown time frame of Verizon's android releases, who's to say this thing wont be coming with the latest and greatest processor? In all reality it probably is just the Verizon version of the Evo, it sure looks a lot nicer than its sprint branded potential relative.

In any case, its the first new handset i have seen that actually physically looks on par or better than the nexus.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
htc glacier is on my wishlist, what with a possible dual core, hellz yeah
[Nexus One General] Forge94:
What happened to the HTC Ace or Desire HD, a GSM Evo.

Unless its revolutionary in terms of processor,GPU etc, then im not too hopeful on leaving my N1.

Damn good looking, though. More of a comparison of a Desire and Evo mating IMO.

[Desire General] C_S_R:
Firefox has released an alpha copy of its web browser for android

Get it here

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/alpha

It supports app2sd.... and believe me you'll need it! Its a massive 30mb!, even after transfering to sd its still 18mb on phone space.

To be honest, its sh*t, well, i thought so, the stock browser is much better, but if anyone wants it i found the link so enjoy.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
I really don't like it. Zoom takes a while and its ugly its ugly. No settings at all.

Hopefully the full release will be better.
[Desire General] rararossini:
Will give it a try think Google should release crome for Android
[Desire General] moshbeard:
Slow and buggy. I'm sure it'll get better but I'm not sure it'll ever be better than Google's effort, at least it'll create a bit of competition.
[Desire General] oursoul:

[Desire General] antu_pogroms:
The refresh and stop button is right next to the address bar.

The stock browser basically is Chrome - both are based on Webkit.

You can swipe left and right to see menu options.

This is an alpha version, don't forget. It's interesting as a preview, but isn't really useable at the moment. There's definitely promise there though.
[Desire General] th3:
I was really looking forward to this but... if the space requirements are true then that's just hideous considering our phones are very castrated of internal memory already. It will take even more space with caching. I don't have Google Earth installed for that reason, except on-demand.

Tried it but invariably gives me a black screen as well as the 30 mb hit so have uninstalled, but will be interested in its development.

Shame as I love firefox on the pc.
[Desire General] celticchrys:
The stock Android browser is Chrome for Android, isn't it?
[Desire General] copex:
LOL don't tell steve jobs that Safari is basically chrome as they are both based on webkit :-)

Haha, you know what I never spotted that. I'm quite bright usually, honest.

Well in that case I'm completely satisfied.

Downloaded it yesterday, been playing around with it a bit.

Not that impressed to be honest, potential with the mobile add-ons in the future though :)

One thing though, the left side tab is much handier than the stock one.

Looking forward to future versions. Uninstalled until then.

[Vibrant General] kc0cat:
Everything was working fine this morning on my JB vibrant. I then read an article about the Fenneck browser release as an alpha. I downloaded the browser and found that it still had several problems so I deleted it. After deleting I noticed that my wifi was not on so I turned it on and got the message "unable to scan networks" and "unable to save the network" I have done some research and it looks like I'm going to have to reflash the phone. If anyone knows of something I can try I'd appreciate the info before I have to spend the weekend researching and trying stuff till I get it right again. I just got the phone setup the way I wanted it including the native tethering flash. I'm not sure what steps I need to take from here if I do need to start from scratch. Do I need to un JB the phone, flash it then reload all the "approved programs then all the unapproved programs? Just not sure what I need or how to get it back to how it was this morning. I've looked around but have not found a step by step list as to how to get where I want to be. Any help would be appreciated. I do have apps like appbrain, astro, ROM manager, appmonster etc.

Thanks,

Gerry
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Did you make a nandroid backup when you installed ROM Manager?

If you did, you can go back to that and add the missing apps as needed.

Otherwise, besides flashing firmware try factory reset.
[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
I had this EXACT same problem... I ended up having to flash stock back and everything was fine. I dont think anyone has a solution to this here.. And if they do they ignored/didnt see my thread about it :(
[Vibrant General] kc0cat:
Completely forgot I had done a nandroid backup...getting old is rough on the memory with so many gadgets. Anyways...did a restore and the wifi came back. Had to update about 10 programs though. Small price to pay.
[General Questions and Answers] TabletConnect:
I bought an Android Tablet running an ARM11 (v6) processor. Not sure what the GPU is. However, I ran the NeoCore benchmark for the GPU and got an average of about 13.2 FPS. I compared this against Droid Incredible (Qualcomm Snapdragon) and Droid X (TI OMAP 3630). Both of which as you know that are Cortex A8 variance. All are running at 1.0Ghz.

I also ran Softweg's Benchmark on those 3 devices.

For my tablet, I got scores of about 98 for the GPU and 936 for the CPU.

For the Droid Incredible I got NeoCore score of 26 FPS and for the X, 42 FPS. However, they only scored 27 & 30 respectively on Softweg's GPU test.

I would believe the NeoCore score as I am sure the GPU is poor on the tablet. Why would Softweg's Benchmark app show higher scores on my GPU versus those more advanced Android phones?

My CPU score is also higher than the phones which is not possible. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] souljaboy:
interesting , but u know what , maybe its that neocore bench renders the same amount of data all the time , and the other bench resizes it to the size of the screen , so if ur tab has resolution lower than 480*800 thats the reason why
[General Questions and Answers] TabletConnect:
Actually the resolution is 1024x600. I could understand why the NeoCore score is low which is what I would expect. However, I do not know why my CPU & GPU scores under Benchmark would be higher than a better Cortex processor.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensi_:
not quite sure what you mean my friend, if your going to flash it, just use the CSC that you want ? there isnt a package file for firmware files really, you just have 3 files to flash ..

JP8 is packed into 1 file.

no i doubt it

have you flashed anything yet?

do you means its 'packed' = 'archived' into 1 file? .rar by any chance?
