Well mines is orange and I literally mean orange whether it's lit up or not.

manufacturer's defect I guess.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrisgto4:
Yours is orange because the thin film they use to protect the board from dust in that area is orange and it probably wasnt placed properly and its covering one of your led's or touching the trackball. Which also means different color trackball led's are very possible. If we can code the led's to work seperately from each other then we can have multiple color led's if we use a different color film on each of them!!!!!! If we cant seperate them then pick a color film u want and place it over the led's and there ya go. I will try to replicate yours tonight and try the one color led as mentioned above

HOW TO>change trackball colors

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7857742#post7857742

Me and shawn1224 may have accidentaly uncoverd the age old mytouch mystery. I am posting this here because I am not a developer and we need a dev. to try and seperate the 3 led's under the trackball from each other for seperate use. Below is a cut from the thread posted above. I will post an in depth later tonight of how to change the color under the trackball as described below but we still need a dev for the coding if possible of the led's. Thanks

ok finished and it works great. Bought red transparent film, removed trackball, placed film under trackball, replaced trackball...........bam done

heres a video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcUfIx6L5ns

I went ahead and researched the led by the ear speaker. It is 1 l.e.d with 3 diodes inside of it. Each diode is a different color. The varying colors come from changing the amount of power sent to each diode. Pretty much just like mixing paint in a bucket. Giving a diode more power will increase the color emitted. Lower power to another diode to change the end color of 3 combined l.e.d.'s and still equal the same amount of light emitted by all 3.

Ex.

Red diode wattage=.3333333 of 1

Green diode wattage = .3333333 of 1

Blue diode wattage=.3333333 of 1

1 being the total light emitted/or power sent to whole l.e.d. lower one and raise another but always equal to the max amount of power the led can handle.

Or just buy a new trackball - I got myself a red one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jdyates:
What i should have mentioned in my first post, is that i would like this to be the end-all, be-all MT trackball thread, and what i meant by starting it, is if ANYONE has any ideas or apps to test, i would be happy to test them. And contrary to your post, it WOULD be very functional, because Cyanogen doesn't have trackball lighting for notification like the stock ROM does, and it would REALLY help in my eyes. Imagine yourself in MY position. I usually have my phone in my lap during school, and i hardly ever see my notification LED blink when i have a (maybe) important message waiting. I mean, the trackball LEDs are SO much brighter, it would catch my attention immediately, and I'm sure people other than me (maybe even yourself, sir) can agree.

Thats where i saw the MT MoBo pic ;).

I (and hopefully other people other than me, apparently i could use some support) would like a free alternative to the trackball color, as well as i NEED insurance/warranty on my phone, because i simply don't have the money for a new phone if i break it while taking it apart.

Also, you guys seem very focused on color, that is just a MINOR thing to me, i want to be able to set different lighting patterns, how long it blinks, the interval for waiting notifications, i personally don;t care if its white, red, orange, purple or PINK for god's sake.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
The thing about CM not having the same trackball notification is due to it (the glowing/flashing/breathing) being HTC framework.

If HTC can set light patterns and make them trigger on certain events, so can we.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
I think that the whole point of his thread was to change the LED color from the settings... not by removing the trackball and replacing the colored film beneath it. :p I'm all about development for this... but we don't need two threads about it. Let's pick one and I'll combine the other one with it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chrisgto4:
not a problem. I just posted in here so a dev could answer the question about splitting the 3 led's up. Im not sure if they are all on the same circuit or can be flashed seperately. I know we will never get anything but white out of them. I guess keep this one open cuz the other one isnt gonna get anything accomplished. thanks binary

Thanks a ton, Binary...so anybody have any ideas SOFTWARE-wise? Maybe taking "HeroLED" or "Trackball Alert Pro" apart and "pointing" it to the MyTouch trackball? How would we go about doing something like that, maybe talking to the dev of TAP?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mussio:
i ask because i just bought this eris from someone and it didn't have service and every Rom that i install asks me to activate. i want to flash it but i don't know if it will work if i cant access cdma workshop.

the froyo roms don't require me to activate right away but ##3424# doesn't work for DM command service any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Typically, NONE of the Eris dev ROMs require activation, so long as the phone was successfully activated in the past without an intervening factory reset.

The only time I have ever needed to activate my Eris was after a Factory Reset performed from within a stock 2.1 HTC release - wiping /data from within Amon_RA and flashing a new ROM does not seem to affect the activation status of the phone.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jp50:
i have flashed probably 10 roms and have never had to reactivate my phone. ever.

wonder if some people just do this assuming incorrectly that it needs to be done everytime?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I just looked at the OP and realized that maybe a slightly different Q was being asked - activation bypass?

On several different ROMs, I was able to initiate the activation call, and then hang up immediately - on the 3rd or fourth. try, the phone would allow you to continue.

I have also read posts here that claimed you could touch all four corners of the screen in a certain order, and that would bypass something (I can't remember, maybe someone else can chime in).

Magic 32b

I have fastboot working, and can enter recovery mode (with clockwork 2.5 and/or Amon-Ra v1.2 - oddly Amon-Ra's 1.7 doesn't work for me)

The recovery modes that boot tell me they are successfully installing cm-6.00 RC3 OR 5.08, but when I go to reboot, I don't make it past the red vodafone screen.

My SPL is Engineering's 2005.

Any Suggestions on how to proceed/troubleshoot/get AR-1.7 recovery working?

(Always working with phone plugged in - does it charge if it isn't actually booted into a normal OS?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Sometimes flashing a rom takes a few seconds to show anything but the Vodofone screen. Do you have adb installed on your pc?

If so then use it and enter "logcat" to get details as to what's going on exactly.

Also... did you do a complete wipe before installing? Some members don't want to do that... but it might help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Juneappal:
Am I trying to do the correct thing here? Using a mac:

[ ami tools/]$ ./adb devices

Total wipe - cache, data, devlik. No dice.

Try reinstalling everything, SPL & radio & Recovery. Try recovery first, because the same has happened to me also sometime. And then the rest, if it doesn't help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] razor813:
hey juneappal, i just wonder why do you need engineering spl? i got the stock spl and still able to upgrade custom rom.

my stock spl is h2004 security on

btw, if i want to get back to original firmware, however after restored with nandroid, it just does not let me do ota update. i flashed the custom amon recovery rom, so thats what i suspect,

or do i need engineering spl as well?

thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Juneappal:
I actually got it to work with the setup described above, but I had to install a 32a kernel. Wacky.

I was getting lots of crashes, though, so I reinstalled the radio (went to a 32b radio) then installed clockwork, and a 32b kernel. All seems to be working (fairly) well. I get about 1 unexplained crash per day, but I can live with that, because it works so much better when it is running than it under 1.6. (Faster, better feature set, better UI) Thanks for your ideas, all.

reboot to fastboot and type the commands below

SD Card Fix

Press & hold vol down and power on the phone

Select fastboot by pressing the power button

ADB commands

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

That should fix your SD card not being detected.

I'm sorry if this sounds a bit hard, but: There is a million warnings on this forum about flashing if your download mode key combo doesn't work. If you get the phone>!>pc screen, your phone is bricked (because you cannot use the button combo) and your only chance will be to try to return it and hope that the retailer is nice enough to replace it.

Once Odin has started, plug in the phone.

sending the phone in to the store for service is the only way to "fix" it, as they will likely have to replace the phone for you, expect 4 weeks wait time

Point being that the phone must be plugged in after Odin has been started not before.

Even my phone hangs if it is plugged in before Odin is running.

FREE TUBE vanished from the Market after few weeks. Seems that Google is banning the best applications for android. I just would like to know what is going on and the reason of this policy??. They don't want you can download Video on your SD Card...My personal opinion is that downloading video is one of the best things invented on mobile phones.

OK. Someone said that this policy is to fight piracy , but this is not true because I can download Youtube videos on my PC using Real Player isn't it. Other developers said that this Google's policy is because they decide to stop children watching adult and porno ...Ok! I have no problem with that ! but I'm adult why banning the service for everybody? Instead of eliminating applications why google don't give a ''Specific 21 year old code'' a unique number for a unique person related to the handset IMEI et voila' job done everybody's happy. We need to create a Facebook group and contact Google, enough is enough and it's about time that all developers decide to fight against all Google's unfair decision . Thanks

[EVO 4G Android Development] preludedrew:
Looking for possible ROM testers.

I'm currently learning about the all of the potential that the android operating system has and would like to get feedback and reports from other users. I'm looking for one or two testers (if i get quite a few PM's, i will definitely consider changing this, but I want to stick with a captive audience at least in the beginng). The knowledge level can vary, as I'm looking for feedback and checking to see what works/doesn't work. I only have a few specific criteria that I'm looking for in testers which I will note at the bottom.

A little something about my expectations...

I will in no way ever refer to myself as a developer. I'm merely a person that can follow directions, ask the right questions to the right person, and learn along the way. I'm not starting this to make money, to show off any sort of skills that i may posess. I would just like to make this a hobby as other "developers" and users like myself have done. I cannot promise a fast ROM. I cannot promise that it will look the best (at least in the beginning). I can promise I will take in all feedback and suggestions and have some consideration towards them. My biggest reason for testing is to find all the nooks and crannies and make sure they're clean. I do not have 4G here in arizona, so i have no clue if it works or not (It's based off stock so I don't see any reason it shouldn't). Etc etc..

Tester Criteria

I would like at least one user that has not formatted their SD card with ext2/ext3 file system for apps2sd. I will provide help with this if/when needed and I would like to give instructions to verify that it is working.

Someone who has 4G in there area, that also uses social networking.

Some sort of Instant Messanging application, you name it and I'll download it and make a username. It makes it so much easier to talk and get feedback when a conversation can be held. A definite plus is someone that has a headset and knows how to use programs such as Ventrilo or Teamspeak (think xbox live for Windows).

Patience with myself.

PM me and I will get back with you as soon as i can.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LeonM1234:
I feel stupid, I really do! Normally I ALWAYS backup my data. Two days ago I had to reinstall me PC due to a harddisk crash (did have backups though, except for Outlook, since I use IMAP).

Unfortunate, I did not yet found time to sync my TD with outlook since the reinstall.

Today, I turned on my TD (turned it off last night the normal way), and the device wouldn't boot. It shows the bootloader, so my guess is a corrupt ROM image. Anyway, I tried soft and hard reset, but nothing worked, so it seems I have to reflash the ROM.

Will this erase the phonebook?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Huckleberry88:
Yes, after flashing is like having a "new" phone.

I am not sure whether it will work in the bootloader mode but try to connect your phone via usb and try to access to the memory to save the respective file(s).

Good luck!
