I tried to edit the "mahimahi-keypad.kl" file and "push" to device (using adb), but it doesn't work... still can using trackball to wakeup my N1...

Is any way to disable this fuction?? I'm using eViL Q&D NXSense v1.08s

Thanks a lot~

Sorry for my bad English...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rsotbiemrptson:
Delete the rigth file

Go into the system folder

then the user folder

then keylayout folder

then delete the mahimahi-nav.kl file

reboot

Hey guys any of you running set cpu? i have a profile set so that when i turn the screen off it drops the cpu down to 250mhz. I'm having a issue where sometimes it dosen't wake back up. Anyone else had this happen?
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I noticed this Tuesday. They don't play nice together...yet. setcpu needs info about the hummingbird cpu in order for it to work. Setcpu's dev will most likely have an update for this soon. For now, i'd uninstall it and keep an eye out on the program for an update.
[Epic 4G General] 2.0t03speed:
sweet glad to know that its not just me.
[Epic 4G General] jspielberg:
I had this same problem with the Overclock Widget for the same purpose (shut down CPU while screen sleeps)... After removing Overclock... I have yet to have a blank screen situation.
[Epic 4G General] madocs:
I've got mine (SetCpu) set to the "on-demand" preset. Have not had a wake up issue yet...

SetCpu seems to be quite different on the Epic than on the EVO. More presets and options....
[Epic 4G General] madocs:
Scratch that - this morning the EPIC didn't wake. Battery out, back in, screen off, didn't wake. :(

Uninstalled SetCpu, all is back to normal (except for the crap battery life of course).

Emailed the SetCpu dev, he thinks it is related to the kernel. I'll try out a custom ROM/kernel as soon as one is ready to see if it resolves the issue.
[Epic 4G General] vavaud:
I'm not having any issues with my epic and setcpu, right now the screen off profile is: 200Mhz, ondemand, & priority @ 100.
[Epic 4G General] Chalup:
In the Vibrant forum there are numerous threads in which the OPs screwed up their phones using setCPU. I'd stay away from apps like setcpu, juice defender, task killers, etc.
[Epic 4G General] 2.0t03speed:
i agree with staying away from set cpu but juice defender and task killer are essential to me getting decent battery life on my epic lol
[Epic 4G General] madocs:
How long have you had it in use? I was cool for a day, then it wouldn't wake up.

From the dev: "The scaling is the issue, I think. Ondemand crashes the Galaxy S, but conservative doesn't seem to."

I'm ready to hit some customs, battery life just isn't good enough so far.
[Epic 4G General] madocs:
I've had good results with the conservative setting of SetCpu. With ATK and SetCpu, I had double the prior norm in battery life. Over past 2 days I've gotten over 12 hours and I plugged in before full drain both days. Started at 6:30 this morning, should get a good read on potential. Expecting 15+ which would officially resolve my battery issues.
[Epic 4G General] 2.0t03speed:
I was using conservative on set cpu when i got the lockup

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] SoulLi:
I have been using setCPU and ATK since 9/2 with no problems so far. I have it set on conservative and 200 when screen is off. I been getting around 10-12 hours with moderate uses. With little use today I am at 9 hours with 50% battery left.
[Epic 4G General] madocs:
I ended up at with over 15 hours logged and ~15-20% battery remaining last night. Good enough for me. Bluetooth/GPS/Wifi on all day, 4G off, screen turned down, ATK.
[Epic 4G General] lloyddefrance:
No Problem with CPU Set at 200

I kept having the same issue until I changed the lower limit to 200 and used Conservative setting.

Now, no problem at all!
[Epic 4G General] sammiam:
I think I tend to agree with you.... I tried running the phoenix kernel on my epic, and the phone would not wake up (was told it was because phoenix defaults to 100/1000) and was told to use setcpu.. tried it... wow... what a disappointment.. setcpu kept giving me way different readings everytime I ran it.... not nice at all....

I've since tried this again, this time, placing setcpu.txt on my /sdcard will see if this helps..... so far, so good......
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I have a screen off profile set for 400mhz max 200mhz min with conservative governor. My main profile is 1200mhz max and 200mhz min. This is with the mixup kernel and I never have any lock up issues

Sent from my Emotionless Beast of an Epic using the XDA App
[Epic 4G General] jemarent:
i have my min at 200 for all of my profiles. My screen max is 400 and it keeps my phone from waking up. It's set to conservative. I'm also using it with juice defender, so i'm not sure if that's the culprit or what. Does anyone else have any suggestions on settings for screen off?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
Hi, I already rooted my phone using the auto rooting programs.

but when i try to use programs that need Super user access.

it says my phone needs to be rooted?

what could be causing this?

thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] belovits:
Do you have a Superuser.apk or something similar in /system/app/ ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
Yes i do,

I got it to work by closing all my background apps and loading titanium back up again.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rainman110:
At a glance: I have the impression, that current lag fixes are affecting the GPS performance of our loved toy. Let me explain why.

My GPS-History:

quite poor performance on original XXJF3

upgraded to JG1 and was quite happy with it. Far from perfect but usable

then I applied the Ryanzas lag fix and there the problem started. Loss of sat locks all the time and problem to lock to many sats. I did not think, that this might have something to do with the lag fix. It wouldn't make any sense for me.

upgraded lately to new JPC firmware and gps was quite okay. Not only fast fixes but also good accuracy (but far from perfect).

Now I applied again the lag fix and again had the gps problems mentioned above.

So now the question arises if that's just coincidence or could there be any connection.

What can we do about it?

First we have to make sure that this connection actually exists. Please, everyone who experience these problems check if you installed a lag fix. Try to figure out, what the problems are. Loosing locks, inability to create locks? How many sattelites can you connect to? Track your daily route and check accuracy. Now uninstall/disable your lag fix and do the same checks. Please reply what your outcome was.

What if?

Okay, assuming the lag fix is affecting the gps. How could that be? Of course, I can only guess. First of all, it sounds quite strange, that changes on the file system would affect the gps - but... Maybe the gps kernel driver is blocked somehow by the ext2 kernel module? We can test this by applying the first available lag fix (Krycek) where /data is moved to the nand storage. Search for "Galaxy-S Stalling Issue" to find the thread. It doesn't use an ext2 file system, therefore we can check, if it has anything to do with it.

So everybody please check out if this could be the source of our problems.

UPDATE:

Okay, after 34 votes (7/11/6/10) it seems to get clear, that there is no connection between a lag fix and the gps problems in general. This hypothesis has a statistical probability of 93 percent, which kind of proves it. What is actually interesting is that more than 60% of the voters were using lag fixes. Congrats RyanZa! The sad thing is, that about half of the voters have problems with their gps. Hopefully Samsung does something about it soon that finally fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
The lagfixes move some files around, they can't affect your gps. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
No GPS problems, no lag fix

(accuracy not perfect but close to my real life location and that is good enough for me)

stock JH2

no lag switching between programs, always have GPS CoPilot8 running, Samsung IM, Samsung Social Hub, Fring, 5 account Emails sync, 3 calendar sync, weather sync, 5 contact sync, music player over bluetooth

all running at the same time
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rainman110:
You're right man. It doesn't seem to be logical, I know that. I am dealing for about ten years with linux systems and my claim seems to be plain nonsense. However, the fact is that I (for me) can tell a difference. The only reason I can think of is an interference between the ext2 and the gps kernel drivers. Maybe the process priority of the gps driver is much lower than the fs driver so that the ext2 comes always first and "steals" cpu time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guibao:
weird that you mention that...

I was using the gps with success, no problems in acquiring sats signal nor navigating. I have JM2 with samset 1.8 with it's own lagfix.

I even kept the phone in an awkward place, behind my honda's handbrake, far from the front shield's air space.

Then last weekend I applied OCLF directly from the market. Everything went so fine, didnt have to remove the battery after the /data move. And it became a lot faster.

Two days ago I had to use the GPS and it didnt see sats for almost 30 mins. No fix *at all*. I gave up trying to use it had to stop to ask for directions.

I never connected the dots until I saw your thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BronzedDroid:
Not really sure there are any dots to connect, guibao. It's a known fact that the GPS lives a life of it's own, and that it often works best right after a factory reset or a firmware flash. I must agree with RyanZA on this one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guibao:
I totally agree with you, there should be no relation between gps and lagfix.

But again it went bad after the lagfix. I installed more stuff but nothing related to GPS functions.

Will do some more testing tonite and report later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] guibao:
The GPS worked fine tonight, but I left it warming a long while before hitting the streets.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lucasjohny:
Hi I also face this problem before, but able to solve it by recalibrated my compass, just key in *#0*# then click on sensor, hold your phone up site down do a few 8 turns and you must get a reading of 3 on the compass.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
Now that you mention this... I know it seems almost irrational to say an ext2/3/4 partition affects GPS performance, but I was "OK" (that's a big word... :P) with it on JM1. Then I downloaded OCLF from the Market and everytime my navigator drops the signal or gets stuck on navigation availability query. Bah! I may just guess it has to download the maps somewhere and it fails just like a Market download does sometimes (but I don't know if it's related to my ext partition). Maybe I should just unlagfix my SGS and see what happens.

That looks awesome! Would be cool if every user had this accuracy. Btw, how do you generate screenshots on eclair (2.1) without using adb?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madduckuk:
outside lock, lagfixed 2.2 JPC

sometimes i do get a 8 or 9 grey bars that just wont lock on, but a reset of the phone clears that up. bit annoying all the same.

one thing that the graph isn't showing is satellite locks don't seem to last very long, but luckily there are enough of them that the connecting is continuous.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
download shootme

you need to be rooted
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cantIntoCode:
I have applied the Epic 4G GPS fix and anywhere outside my phone just refuses to get a decent lock. Every so often It will get a good reception but after moving it disconnects. Although with the new JPC firmware I had flashed the GPS was spot on. Connected instantly and no problems whatsoever with it stuttering or anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Idan73:
This is just a theory but there's a strong likelihood that people also update maps after flash and there lies the answer.you must restart phone after running maps for the first time or it will almost never get a lock.also network should be unchecked and rely only on agps.sometimes with network enabled the app can not even start the real gps.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
Works great. I can swivel, adjust vertical and horizontally, and retract the legs if needed.

The screen faces outwards so you can position as needed, and the "hook" is made from a hard gel material so it won't scratch the phone.

You can safely place the phone in both portrait or landscape mode.
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
Sweet, I've been wating to do this as well, can we get some better pics that show what you have going on? the backlighting from the laptop screen is killing it... thanks JP
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmanzbo:
So here is my situation and I did try to search but couldn't find an answer.

I did the unrevoked>forever>stock recovery so I am still rooted but back to stock recovery.

Last night I got the OTA and it started to run but about a third into the green bar it went to a red triangle. So the updated failed an am still on 2.1

Could this be because I was in my basement with crappy signal, it dropped and didn't download the file or is it because I am still rooted?

I do not have clockwork recovery on there anymore and was told that it would be fine to have root and still install the OTA.

Thanks for any help!
[Vibrant General] Tempott:
So now that I know the stock MP3 player wont display uncompressed album art, I think I want to try a different mp3 or media player. I really cant stand looking at blurry pixelated pics on my Vibrant. Does anyone have any suggestions of players for the Vibrant that will show album art in full resolution instead the blurry images you get with the stock mp3 player?
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
hmm.. that's wierd, none of my album art is blurry at all on my phone using the stock player...
[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
I do not have blurry album art problem either, but to answer your question I use MixZing.
[Vibrant General] db3:
i don't use it much, but i tried ^3 and liked it. http://abrantix.org/3.php
[Vibrant General] ags29:
I used to go crazy over issues like that too. So I gave in to a Rdio subscription. $10 a month for unlimited music that follows u in a cloud, and it all comes with correct good quality album art. No more issues.

I don't work for them either lol in just really love their service and wanted to spread the word. It's really convenient.
[Vibrant General] Tempott:
What size is the album art for your songs. I have used album are that is 600x600 and then add it to my mp3s with itunes. My phone is the only player that shows the album art as blurry.:confused:
[Vibrant General] raduque:
My stock music player doesn't show blurry album art, but all mine was added by iTunes automatically (then embedded into the files using a script).
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I use doubletwist, and it satisfies my needs.
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
Windows media player also does this... and it is also the fastest was to sync music to your android devices... but not the most talked about for some reason....
[Vibrant General] ripsphone:
Mix zing. Full screen album art, finds missing album art, and has a functional EQ.
[Vibrant General] rbirg:
Wow... best media player I've tried. I've been looking for a good one.

This makes my music sound a little better than it did before, heh. Anyone else notice poor quality with 3.5mm jack?

Hi guys, Im trying to bring my phone back to rogers stock firmware and I can't seem to do it. I downloaded the unbricker tool and the firmware, which has 2 files named "1" and "2". I got no idea how to use the firmware with the unbricker tool, so can someone help me?

Thanks in Advance
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] naplesbill:
Sounds like you downloaded the SEUS firmware files and you are trying to use the debricker tool which requires .sin files.

You can use the 1 and 2 file with SEUS software by following the instructions in that thread. You basically need to replace the files in a directory for SEUS while it's downloading them. One file is 16mb and the other is 125mb+. There may be a better firmware for you to download for use with the debricker.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] corruptfate:
wait im confused by your post can you try and maybe explain it a bit clearer? thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] naplesbill:
The 1 and 2 file are for use with the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and not the debrick process. You'll need the Rogers files that are intended for use with the debricker and not the ones you have.

It is possible to use the 1 and 2 files to restore your phone to stock but it's more complicated and I'd suggest just getting the correct files.

I believe you need the first file (WWE_R1FA014 under X10a) in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] corruptfate:
okay and do I replace all the files? because when I tried to only replace the ones already there, it gave me the exclamation mark and I had to go back to the debranded version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brunswick000:
Read the thread for decrypted roms. You need to replace the .sin files from the flash tool with the .sin files from the firmware version you downloaded from that page. Then run the flah tool with the new files in it. Its pretty simple once you figure it out.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] corruptfate:
do I only replace the .sin files? and do I add the extra .sin files in?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shin4u:
Files 1 and 2 are not files that we are looking for.That link bring us wrong files.

Now do one thing download flash tool from here http://hotfile.com/dl/44983907/9d54b5e/XIOFUB.rar.html

Then downlaod files from this link http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598ad...4_DEK.zip.html.

The file we download from this link has two folders.extract them then copy files from them to flash tool folder. Then root your xperia x10 and you are ready with RB014 original one. You can update it from SEU. EASY!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] corruptfate:
hmm, everytime I replace the files, my xperia x10 gets the bricked picture. Do I HAVE to root it before reflashing?

edit: there is an "update.xml" file in the android.... folder and the phone folder. Which one do I use?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] phuangk:
In the Rogers rom file, there should be two zip files in there.

- android_1233-6929_R11A_R1FA014.zip

- phone.zip

Now

- Unzip the flashtool first, and then unzip the phone.zip to the flashtool folder and replace any files it prompts.

- Unzip android_1233-6929_R11A_R1FA014.zip and replace any files it prompts.

- Rename or delete System.sin and userdata.sin inside the flashtool folder.

- Rename system_S1-SW-LIVE-AC12-0001-S1-PARTITION-WITH-SPARE.sin to system.sin

- Rename userdata_S1-SW-LIVE-AC12-0001-S1-PARTITION-WITH-SPARE.sin to userdata.sin

Try to flash the phone again see if this will work (Just tried it yesterday, it worked for me.)
