1) This thread has nothing to do with development and has no business being in that section. I've moved it to the Q&A area where it belongs.

2) The info you were looking for already exists in previous threads so there was no reason to open this one here. I'm closing the thread now.

Please go and read the "read this before posting" thread at the top of the forum section, which covers both items above as well as several other important ones you should be aware of before posting any new thread.
[Epic 4G General] SRuiz126:
Hi there I was having a problem with the call sensor on my epic that awakes and dims the screen when im on a phone call. when i place a call the screen either goes black and i cannot access the dial pad at all or the screen stays awake even when putting the phone to my ear. Just wondering. Anyone else have this issue?
[Epic 4G General] a_ride_4_ever:
i had the same thing happen 2x , reboot cleared it up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
I have to reset my phone about 15-20 time a day because my SD card disappears. By itself. All the time.

Can anyone tell me a) WHY this happens and b) HOW to stop it ?

I have a 32 gb external. The phone is relatively untouched (vanilla with Root that's all I've done to it)

But it really bothers me because I have to reset my phone just to take pictures/video's etc. It's always unavailable. Both my internal and external card.

How the hell do I stop it from disappearing ? What is the cause ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Wow, that seems VERY ODD. eh. Did you format the card using your phone? if not I recommend you do it. settings/sd card and phone settings/unmount external sd card then FORMAT. I know there could be some bugs if you format using a PC. If that does not help then MAYBE you have a fake 32gig card? or worst of all your phone's hardware might be at fault then you will need to return it. Other then that I guess you will need to google "32gig SD samsung galaxy S problem"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lubu21:
Does this happen with stock f/w and without external sd? if yes u probably want to visit the service centre, if not its some problem with your rom / root / 32g card... ? Also, is the ext sd mounted under settings > sd ?

But how are these related to android dev...??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
I know this thread will be disappearing to the general forum :D

I'd try letting the phone reformat the card, throw some files and double check it with the phone. maybe your card's a fake and can't really hold that much, so it craps out? that's all I can think of.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liraindon:
Try another card to see if the issue is the phone or the card.

Also check the contacts on the card and the slot for dirt or bent pins, wipe with a micofiber cloth to remove any fat or other residue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dckiwi:
Dude, what widgets do you have installed?

I know you say it's vanilla, but an app can do this when it refreshes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haida1:
I had this happen when I used the "partition SD card" option in ROM Manager. It killed the SD card and made my internal memory unreadable. I formatted the dead sd on my pc and that worked for a bit but then it couldn't read it again. I did a complete data wipe and that seems to have worked for the internal memory. Now I'm using a new sd card. What's weird is that the SD that phone refuses to read, my GF's phone recognizes it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midijunkie:
yesterday i had similar issues. dont know if they are gone.

i couldnt play music - "cant play the codec" error msg - it was the sd card, but only the external.

NEW!!! Also, check quake2droid!

Kwaak3 Arena has been renamed to quake3droid and is on the Android Market.

OLD videos-

Video so far, slightly buggy, youtube fastforwarded it and effed it up

Let me know how it works on your phone !
[Android Apps and Games] tgtoys:
Good stuff but might want to move this to Android General...might get some flames for this one.
[Android Apps and Games] koven:
If you, like me live in a country without official google market, you won't find it and you won't be ableto buy it (as it's payed app).

Anderdroid - the older, free version worked on HD2
[Android Apps and Games] Wildcopper:
Not wanting to nitpick - but isn't this illegal?

I mean quake 3, even if open source, remains property of ID Software, and therefore cannot be sold - not to mention it's a DEMO that is sold here. If it was given for free, it would be different, but selling... I may be wrong, but I think that's not allowed.

Just wondering...
[Android Apps and Games] Veldmuus:
agreed i think also porting ok but u cant ask money for open source that just is ported?

and dont say download :P cuz u have to pay lol
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Well the other ports of Quake are on sale and have been for a while... Quake3 is released under the GPL. You're paying for the port of the engine and it 'helps' you get the 'free' Pak files. I'm not selling anything that is proprietary property of ID Software. Even then it's all questionable... We'll see what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] orangekid:
per the GNU license you are allowed to modify any open source software and sell it as your own, but you must release the source code with it, so as long as OP is including the source code for the program then he is fine, and anyone can take that source code and modify it as they want and release it free (or for sale) as they want, but again, must include the source code.
[Android Apps and Games] orangekid:
Also per this you are looking for some testers on some HD2 Android ports (sense, no-sense, Desire HD sense, MIUI, Eclair, Froyo).

You may entice some of us to test it with a free version provided we give you some useful feedback.

Buying the program for our phones only to realize it doesn't work would suck.
[Android Apps and Games] TiltMasta:
I'd be more than happy to test, I've been using this port when it was Kwaak3
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
I know someone had my old build of Kwaak3 Arena running on an HD2 and posted a video of it on YouTube.

The source code will be bundled with the app in an update later this week, need to clean it up.
[Android Apps and Games] carhigh:
No sound on my HD2. Maybe the version im running? Anyone confirm having sound at all?
[Android Apps and Games] carhigh:
Nobody can tell me if their HD2 had sound playing this game or not?
[Android Apps and Games] lundquja:
The game will not play with sound on my HD2 also. Everything else works great though.
[Android Apps and Games] lundquja:
I read a comment on the Android Market listing and it suggested locking and unlocking the phone (like you normally would with the END key) to solve the sound problem, and it worked!
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Yes for now you need to lock and then unlock the device after launching the game to get sound to work on some HTC devices, does it on my G2. I will have this fixed asap! Tonight or tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] treckin:
Let me just say. This is the ****ing g coolest thing ever.

I showed this to 4 people so far who would know what hey were looking at. 4 were jaws on the floor.
[Android Apps and Games] nobodyever:
Does hdmi output work?
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Haven't tried HDMI out, good luck with that. I did however try RCA video out on my Vibrant and that worked.

Also, sound has been fully fixed in an update.
[Android Apps and Games] kaeptnql:
@Anderdroid: I'd like to take a look at the source! Could you post a link to it? :)
[Android Apps and Games] kaeptnql:
Ha-lloooooo?! No one here anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] Seyiji:
Same here. Looks like you would have to buy it for that to happen though :rolleyes:

Call me crazy but isn't that against the GPL :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] kaeptnql:
I bought it out of curiosity a while ago but the source code wasn't included.

Don't want to blame anyone here too quickly but think it would be quite unfair (and against the GPL of course) to retain the source, especially as this project seems to be heavily based on - open source and free - "Kwaak3" by thunderbird2k.
[Android Apps and Games] il Duce:
Totally off topic, but you have the most hilarious signature ever. I laughed so loud at work people looked at me like I was crazy. :D
[Android Apps and Games] kepler1982:
will there be a fix for 10" tablets? the controls are a bit off.
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Yep hoping to finish this around christmas. As for the source there is an older version of the source to kwaak3 arena (which this project is, just renamed) can be found on http://kwaak3arena.com/ and it does use the ioquake3 -> kwaak3 base which can be found on the Google code site.

The newer quake3droid source was lost when I dropped my Vibrant and lost my 16gb sd card which popped out, was switching laptops at the time. Either way was planning on rewriting it. The re-write is going to be a lot cleaner and will be out hopefully on Christmas day and if not, before January 1st. I just finished school yesterday. The re-write will support devices prior to 2.1 (1.6+) and will support tablets, and mini phones. Every screen size imagineable. It also will have a legit virtual analog stick like NOVA as opposed to stationary buttons, and tons of other optimizations as well as Light Maps support which looks gorgeous on a Super AMOLED.

Damn school :/
[Android Apps and Games] fupamobile:
hows this coming along?

does quake3droid work on the samsung fascinate( verizons galaxy s)???

why is everyone saying your breaking GPL laws if your selling this?
[Android Apps and Games] MaxiJavi:
The source code he based his work on is GPL, this is a fairly restrictive licence that (among other things) forces derivative works to also be open source.

This doesn't mean he cannot sell the app, however, to so without providing compilable source FOR FREE is very illegal ... As some/much/most of the code wasn't actually written by him and is subject to a clear license.

In it's current form Anderdroid would stealing this source for profit.

Bare in mind that Anderdroid is making $1000s of bucks (which is great), but without complying with the license ... Which would be easy.

Either way, the updated version went to the market a few days ago ...

So ... Where is the source ?
[Android Apps and Games] Seyiji:
I just saw the updated version yesterday when I was browsing the market and would also like to know where the source code is :confused: :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] kuelexx:
Was the source code ever released with this?

Wow, its hard to imagine posting on a developer forum, a game that someone is violating the GNU GPL? A free open source game that someone making money from, with little coding in comparison... and not willing to adhere to the terms of the GPL? Kind of makes you want to tear the source code and produce it for free as restitution.

Great port, great game, but it all gets ruined by not replying to the source code questions. Almost as bad as pirating an app.

CueSA
[Android Apps and Games] TheCougar:
Was wondering if any one has found an alternative to Quake3Droid that works with touch screens? I was going to get this app but have seen on multiple forums where the creator has dodged releasing the source code since Sept of last year.
[Android Apps and Games] kaeptnql:
You can try Kwaak3 (on which quake3droid is based). Version v11e provides - limited - touch screen support.
[Android Apps and Games] TheCougar:
I currently have Kwaak3 on my tablet but since I have no keyboard it hasn't really been, well playable. Either way I was mostly curious on the status of the source code being released or of an alternative project being put together by anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] wrsg:
so where's the source? you can't post stuff like this on a developers forum and not expect to get pulled up on a flagrant gpl violation. you will be reported and 'your' game will get a well-deserved smackdown.

If any of u have ran one of the Froyo ROMs and have used Setting>Display>Recalibrate to fix the screen rotation and then went back to 2.1 and had problems with screen rotation being wrong, I have found a fix for it.

Download Android Terminal Emulator (or any terminal app) the open it and type su(u have to use su or it will not work.)

Then type this into the terminal and press enter

sensorcalibutil_yamaha

Here is a screenshot of what it will look like
[Captivate Android Development] hackdroid:
i tried it and it didn't help. maybe i miss one of the steps?
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
I am not intending to hijack your thread, but...which keyboard is that?
[Captivate Android Development] irtehun:
Smart keyboard pro
[Captivate Android Development] irtehun:
Maybe works for me
[Captivate Android Development] hackdroid:
Thanks for posting it. I may have to run it a few more times to get it to work. :)

Edit: OK. it works now. I believe it didn't work before because I held it on the table horizontally facing me but when I laid it down on the table facing the ceiling it did the trick. Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
If you want these changes to persist through a flash (And if you messed it up from reorienting with JPK). Flash back to JPK, rerun the calibration, put it on a flat surface horizontally (as the instructions tell you to), then flash back to stock. Your changes will stick AND everything will be normal again!
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
Odin one click restore wont erase the calibration info?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It doesn't erase Calibration data set by doing the calibration through froyo for some reason... and any calibration set through Eclair goes away after a reflash, at least for me =P
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
*Looks at the door*

How the hell did you get here so quick? :D

Thanks for the reply(now to start that Zilch4mod thread)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Hahaha I'm fast :D

Someone recreated the Zilch for mod thread... it got shuffled off the front page though amidst all the arguing over why the iPhone is or isn't better than the captivate lol
[Captivate Android Development] irtehun:
U tried this?
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Yes, tried it, and it's working wonderfully
[Captivate Android Development] irtehun:
Hmm damn it right after i get all setup :-/
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
I found out what was causing my weird rotation problem. It was Voodoo's lagfix beta4. I installed the lagfix on its own after doing the 1.3 oriented kernel and that is what messed it all up.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Ohhh well that explains that ;) The I9000 has different sensor placement hardware wise and as such their kernel is more or less designed to ONLY work with their sensor placement... that's why the I9000 reoriented kernel exists, it negates that difference by adding in the right values for the Captivate!

(Gross oversimplification, but thats the gist of it)
[Captivate Android Development] SetiroN:
It completely ****ed up my sensor, it doesn't work anymore at all. Is there a way to reset it? I tried recalibrating multiple times with the phone horizontal on its back or its sides, disabling and re-enabling the sensor, but there seems to be no way to make it work...
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Unless you did this through the JPK froyo build, simply reflashing your phone should reset you back to whatever values you previously had.

However, if you weren't having problems with screen orientation prior to running this utility... why did you do it? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] SetiroN:
Cause I thought it could fix the slight inaccuracy I've been experiencing since I got the phone, with the sensor reporting exact hotizontality only at 10°-15°. It was annoying in games.

I'll flash as soon as I can, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] irtehun:
Did u do the command line Recalibrate or thru display?
[Captivate Android Development] foom:
It's done through the display.
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Excellent thread - I used android terminal - did what the moderator had done and now my phone will switch within seconds when I turn the phone. Before, I have to shake the phone or emphasize to the phone that I was turning it...thanks!!!
[Captivate Android Development] dommino202:
yeah so i is my captivate i had installed 2.2 froyo and than i was trying lag fixes and it messed up everything now when i upgrade to any kind of rom i dont have rotation or is all messed up. Can someone help me please!
[Captivate Android Development] maximosis:
Fix

I fixed it doing this a little different than the instructions on the first post Download Android terminal from market(if you have root).

Then type…..

Su (hit enter)

/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha (hit enter)

Then follow the instructions on screen and reboot.

Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] DaWongOne:
I'm running Andromeda 2.2 on my captivate and tried this fix with the terminal emulator and I keep getting a failed notification. Please help
[Captivate Android Development] juliobahar:
good that you brought this issue up. I've tried many 2.2 ROMs but I don't know why somehow my calibration settings never stick. I have to recalibrate so often (using settings-> display-> calibrate) coz it is easier of course. Ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Liv33viL:
Simple Solution To Recalibrate

Hello all,

There is a quick and simple solution to resolve calibration issues if the emulator process isn't working for you.

Whether the emulator process fails to resolve the issue or you're just plain gun-shy around command lines... here's a resolution to this issue.

Device must be rooted:

With a file explorer of your choice, navigate to the /system/bin/ directory and verify that you have R/W access.

Navigate to the file sensorcalibutil_yamaha (make a backup of this file and save it to your SDCard) then delete the file completely. (Delete the file /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha) - The file will be recreated on the next boot.

Reboot into recovery and wipe the dalvik cache.

Reboot system, then navigate to Settings--> Display--> Horizontal Calibration

and recalibrate. Verify the Auto Rotation box in Settings--> Display is checked.

Now verify the process has worked.

Enjoy your rotations... ;)

Peace-
[Captivate Android Development] KaliS-Pugilist:
ok, im rooted but when i tried this using astro and file manager i realize that i don't have write/rewrite permission. how do i get this?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
you have to use root explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] KaliS-Pugilist:
didn't work for me. I tried the instructions to the letter using root explorer....was a no go.
[Captivate Android Development] KaliS-Pugilist:
I also noticed that the file was not recreated on reboot. I replaced it from the backup copy I had on my sdcard. did calibrate again, still nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] Liv33viL:
Permission Denied...

Yes, by default this directory is a RO (Read Only) directory an will need to be mounted first in order to temporarily change the properties to RW (Read Write) to make the modifications.

Some "file explorers" do not provide the ability to view certain directories or files within your device. Be sure that you know that the "file explorer" that you choose is, in fact able to views the directories and files that you need to access.

Peace-
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Hmm... using MikeyMike's Serendepity 6.4 and all I have is sensorserver_yamaha, no calibutil in /system/bin

*Edit* Listed by filename and out it
[Captivate Android Development] Liv33viL:
1st Failed Attempt... Go For 2

If you are still experiencing calibration issues...

The file structure was designed to recreate that file when removed, if called upon by a handler or dependent.

Try going through the entire process once again listed here.

See that your directory caches are cleared as well as the dalvik cache when booted into recovery.

Be sure to remove the file prior to wiping the caches.

And as always, as stated within the process, always make a backup and save it prior to modding or tweaking...

HtH

Peace-
[Captivate Android Development] Liv33viL:
File is on a coffee break...

Well actually the full file name is - sensorcalibutil_yamaha.

Hmmm that's odd... perhaps the file stepped out for coffee.

It is possible that with a custom ROM, that the ROM makers relocate, redirect or even eliminate some paths or structures....

Try doing a search and be sure you are able to see the file / file type with you file Browser.

Peace-
[Captivate Android Development] LinuxNewb:
Found it in rootexplorer and noticed that the ls doesn't do it alphabetically unless you tell it to. Just got to chmod the file for proper permissions now

[Streak 5 General] coreth5:
Hey all,

I've had a Streak for about a month now and one major problem the device has had is poor video playback. I've tried Rockplayer, but the results were terrible with very poor sync. I was reading on the Streak Smart forums that this can be caused by the default memory card simply being too slow. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this? Can Rockplayer be improved by getting a new memory card?

Josh
[Streak 5 General] bbmalver:
I would hazard a guess and state that you are still on Donut v1.6?! If so you most likely won't be able to obtain any improvement, whatever player you try. I had the exact same issue.

It would seem that the streaks can be separated between those who have video issues on donut, and those who don't. I was only able to get relief when I upgraded to Eclair v2.1

If i'm wrong and you're already on v2.1, then only two players have have worked the best (for me) are: Rockplayer & YXplayer.
[Streak 5 General] mrdegriz:
it may also be dependent on the resolution and bitrate of the videos your trying to play.
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
hmm. it's definitely worth you posting the specs of the videos you're trying to play.

I've got some h264 mp4 videos with aac (that right?) sound carried over from my Sony X1 (same screen res). They play really well on the stock video player and REALLY well with the build.prop modification.

I converted them from the discs using DVD Fab. File size comes out about 4-500mb. I actually use the video playing to "show off" some of what these phones can do (always turns the iphone users a bit green for some reason... :D )
[Streak 5 General] OrionBG:
the 16GB card that came with mine is Class2. I've tested it with ATTO and it showed around 10MB Read and 3.7MB Write speeds! The Write speed is slow yes but for reading movies I think that 10MB/s is quite enough! Please have in mind that the "Class" marking on the cards is for Write speed! It is not uncommon a Class 2 card to be actually faster than Class 4!
