[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusivebyte:
My old G1's camera has no problem seeing the IR from my TV's remote, but it detects nothing coming from the trackpad. However, the remote is designed to reach a lot further than the trackpad, so maybe the trackpad's LED is just very dim.

I don't have anything else to test it with.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swhtownboy:
yes, i have had this problem!!...it did it on my home screen, just starts switch home screens left and right...this was like two days ago...it hasn't done it since,still debating if i should get a new phone
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmstc:
The trackpad is optical/IR. It responds to infrared. If you go out on a sunny day, your trackpad will go wild. The new blackberrys have the same problem. I really do not think there is a fix, and it's pretty annoying. I've owned a Blackberry 9700 since January and I never could find a way around this, no matter what sensitivity setting I had it on or how much I updated the OS.

I've noticed the same thing with the G2.. in sunlight, the cursor goes crazy.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusivebyte:
If there were ever any sun in Rochester, NY I would test this. :-) I assume It's only a problem if the phone itself is in direct sunlight. Is the the case? So, if I shield it with my own shadow I'd be ok?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoLocutus:
I just noticed this with my G2, kind of annoying, ha. So I experimented and found that nothing happens while holding the phone still or while it sits on the desk, or with the room's light off. But, if I tilt it around with the light on, it acts up.

I think it's detecting the light behind me.

[Android Software Development] Koki1337:
I saw a lot of threads here, but no replies at all

Well I do think that this problem is happening to all of us and a major downside to us Android users, though it's a very small problem.

As I bought my Android phone at first, the SD card unmounting by itself happens quite often.

Then I rooted it and flashed a custom ROM, but after that the SD card starts with the unmounting again.

Are you using a class 2 sandisk?? The one that came with the phone?

Never had my sd card unmount....

A lot of those class 2 sandisk cards like to act up quite a bit I'd probably avoid using them. Unfortunately they come with a lot of phones. We no longer carry sandisk cards in my T-Mobile store.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wyeyip:
Sorry if this has been solved somewhere.. I've tried to look for solution for the whole day but luck so had to create this topic..

I have this software which is in APK format when I got it.

I changed the format into RAR and extracted the files and modified some of the picture (PNG format) and sounds effects.

RARed all the files and change the RAR format into APK format.. transferred it to my phone's SD and tried install as usual and I got this error

" there is a problem parsing the package"

I googled for it and lead me to Signing APK. I tried multiple ways.. with the SignAPK needing the CMD. Creating my own key.. etc.. and still no luck.

At last found this AutoSign from XDA and tried it.

and this is the error I have gotten while trying to AutoSign.

Notes: I have latest Java JDK and JRE installed on my computer. OS is Win 7 Home Premium 64bit. I do not have specific Android SDK installed and have no idea what is all this SDK thingy..

Hopefully can get some help here.. :(:(

I tried editing in RAR form.. Meaning.. I opened the original APK file in RAR form.. and copied the pictures and audio directly in the RAR file and replace them..

This time during installation the Parsing error is not there, but when I started installation. it ends up with "Application Not Installed"

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsymbol:
Why is it that sometimes I can create a gold card, using the Gold card tool, sometimes I cant?

Right after the Gold card Tool says "successful. now D: is a goldcard", when I change from Disk Drive to Charge Only, the phone can't detect the SD card.

I've tried 3 different SD card.

When I pull the SD card out & put it directly into the laptop, it says the SD card is not formatted.

Formatting the SD card will help the phone accept the SD card again, but if I try to create the gold card again, same thing happens.

Is it the ROM? or is it the apps installed causing conflict? weird...

Please advice,

[General Questions and Answers] ChaosFromAbove:
Hey guys...I'm a little confused by youtube's terms and was hoping maybe someone has a definite answer. So my question is, would it be illegal for me to post a video on youtube showing step by step how to manually root, remove at&t bloatware, and enable app side loading for the samsung captivate with froyo? I would also be pointing links to the files to the specific threads on the xda site so that it'd get more traffic as well...at least that's the theory lol.

seeing that froyo isn't officially released, i would think samsung/att would want it shut down.

I really want to post the video because it seems that a lot of people are having trouble figuring these things out, and well, I'd like to help them. I am in no way trying to take credit from any of the developers of the software and would be giving them the proper credit.

HTC-P4351 from Unicel

I have an old HTC P-4351 (assume it's the same as the T-Mobile 4350 "Wing") that I bought from a local carrier (Unicel) that went out of business a year and a half ago. I replaced it with an AT&T Tilt2 which I'm very happy with and have found a ton of neat tricks for here. Thanks for that.

I'd like to put the 4351 on eBay but it's locked, the company is out of business and can't provide an unlock code. I attempted to get one from HTC but they replied that only the carrier could provide that information. From what I see on eBay, the thing could fetch about $80 if it wasn't a locked brick sitting in my drawer.

IMEI: 35286201072742502

Instructions on how to unlock would be greatly appreciated.
[Wing, P4350 General] Midiman57:
I just had a nice, long, "LiveChat" with AT&T, who purchased the original carrier (Unicell) the phone was sold by. They seemed eager to help, knew exactly what I was asking for and why, asked all the right questions including the IMEI... and then told me no unlock code was available in their system after looking it up.
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
I tried geocaching over the weekend with the Epic. I love the app (c:geo I think?), but the phone's GPS is spotty at best. Obviously, when geocaching, you're probably in an area with no signal, so I had to rely on whatever info the phone already had downloaded and being able to fix.

About 9/10 times, the phone would see no satellites at all. Not even yellow non-fixed ones. Randomly, it would suddenly see a bunch of them and lock on within 10 seconds. I had no cell signal the entire time so no AGPS here (except for the previous night making sure it had downloaded satellite data). GPS Status was useful in figuring out what was going on.

The accuracy was horrible compared to an old hand-held standalone device. My phone was easily 20-30 feet less accurate. Note that the shown 98 feet accuracy level is BS - i'ts definitely more accurate than that. But whereas a standalone GPS might be within 12 feet, mine would be about 30 feet.

So overall it's mixed. The app for geocaching is really great, but the hardware to run it on is pretty lacking on the Epic. I'll retest sometime if we ever get a GPS fix.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Did you have the Cold Start workaround applied or is this with stock?
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
I switched to warm. Cold would have sucked without the network. Hot seemed the most problematic from what I've read, but maybe I should have left it on hot?

To be clear my gps works awesome as long as I have a network.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
yes the only drawback to cold start, is if you are outside of network connection of some kind.

We are also not even absolutely confirmed that Epic has true standalone GPS. And if it does, it maybe pretty poor due to the low signal to noise, which may point to attenuation problems at a hardware level, or some other issue. (I am fooling around lately with the settings for SNR threshold rejection)

There is a lot to like about the Epic, and some GPS issues have been reduced by the cold start workaround, but it may not be the best choice of smartphones, notably compared to the EVo's excellent GPS, if you need or enjoy use of GPS.

On accuracy, you have to remember that the real world accuracy is negatively affected by not moving or moving slowly. It is counter-intuitive but this is the result of two factors affecting real and simulated accuracy respectively: Multipath is better rejected when moving as the algorithms to reject and compensate for multipath are facilitated by moment. Secondly, there are all those predictive forward and back axis compensators based on speed (and more recently argumented on smartphones by inertial data from the gsensors) , and road "snap" compensators for lateral movement that help in nav based programs.

Also keep in mind that elevation measurements are not as refined (with inbuilt compensation tables) as far as I know on Andorid as they are on WM applications. I believe there are some apps that will query online elevation tables -- present an data connection.

Thanks for your data on off connection results.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
That's why I removed everything but the basics from my Hero and am using it solely as my geocaching GPSr!

Then I don't have to worry about ruining my Epic by getting it wet or dropping it or just getting it dirty!

Hi guyz, recently I updated my rom version to 2.53.707.4... Before that I backup all my SMS and other stuffs using PPCPimBackupV2.8.. I had a folder called saved SMS in the previous version, so when I backup I saved all the massages in that folder too..

So after flashing I restore everything but when I got to massages through start and in the drop down menu I couldn't see the saved folder.. Previously we can juz go to all massages and view all the folders and even create a new folder but with the new rom I couldnt do so..

Hey everyone

I'm really not a fan of the SENSE ui however all the latest builds are all based off sense devices. I know I can use an alternate launcher but what about the dialer and sms app? I know I can use dialerone or handcentsms but what about the stock android dialer/sms app?

Basically. Is there a way to install the stock android dialer/sms app to a SENSE build? Is it just as simple as replacing apk's in the system/app dir? if so where can i find apks for the stock android dialer and sms app?

[Mogul, XV6800 General] riseoftheinferno:
Sprint HTC Mogul

I have done a lot of researching and haven't found a particular solution to my problem. I am fairly new to ROM flashing, so I may have made an unrecoverable mistake.

When I began to unlock the device, I used the TitanUnlocker which I now see that only should be used with pre-GPS. I thought it was successful and tried to flash the stock ROM then proceeded to the custom ROM. I have also tried to install the radio because of course, it doesn't have the radio like it should have. However, it won't boot and is in the following state:

When booting into WinMo, it sticks at the splash screen and also says No Radio. I have tried installing the radio via SD card, but the bootloader doesn't seem to recognize it and so it makes me believe that the microSD card slot is busted.

On the bootloader, it says:

TITA100

SPL-1.20.Olipro

I have tried flashing the stock ROM but it fails out at 11%.

Update for clarification: I cannot use Hard-SPL-MFG to get Olipro-2.40 since I cannot connect to activesync.

If there is anything you can think of to fix this, or the correct combination of bootloader, ROM, and radio, please let me know as this is my primary phone at the moment. Thank you!

Update: I also figure I'd try a different SD card (smaller) to see if that solves the problem with the updating via card.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
you get this fixed? If not you can flash from bootloader. You just need to plug it in. But if I remember correct you need to be synced for bootloader 2.40. So you need to flash a pre gps 2.xx radio and flash a WM 6.0 rom. then you should be able to flash bootloader 2.40

Hi,

I have Omnia II with English WM 6.5 and some default ROM (I guess details are not important). I bought bluetooth keyboard Freedom Pro and want to use it with my phone. But the keyboard layout is English. Is there ANY way how to change it to Czech QWERTY layout? I have regional settings set to Czech, and Samsung Keypas also set to Czech (and it works without problems) so I think somewhere deeply hidden is Czech keyboard layout. But I didn't find any way to force the phone to use it.

When I connect the keyboard to my computer, I can switch english and czech layout simply by SHIFT+ALT. It doesn't work when connected to the phone.

In my registry in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Keyboard Layout/Active=00000409.

In HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Layouts/ are 2 directories - 00000409 and e0010409. In HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Layouts/00000409/ are a few keys (I hope it is the right word for value) - "Layout File"=S3c6400_keypad_US.dll; "PS2_AP"=S3c6400_keypad_US.dll; "Layout Text"=US and BuildInKeypad=S3c6400_keypad_US.dll;

I thought the "S3c6400_keypad_US.dll" file may contain settings of keyboard layout. So I found similar structure on my comp and found "kbdcz.dll" there. I copied it to my windows/ directory and changed all the three paths above to this new file. After soft reset nearly all keys become crazy (even on SW keyboards - most of buttons produced MANY characters when pressed) but after a while I managed to set the registry back and soft reset the phone again. Then I decided it's better to ask for help rather than playing with registry.

So do you know a way how to solve this? Is there any czech version of S3c6400_keypad_US.dll that would work for me? Or it's not so simple?

Thank for answers
