Try flashing again, but this time use amon ra instead of clockwork to wipe and flash. See if that helps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
Ok. I can install recoveries from clockwork through amon?e
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
No - there's the rub. But you can switch to amonra to wipe and flash just to resolve this issue, and then switch back to clockwork once its loaded. If you go this route, do a nand backup with amonra first, so you can restore in case something goes wrong with the initial flash.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
Going through the process right now. Thanks and I'll let you know the results. This has been a 3 day headache. Cyan is cool, but I like to switch to sense occasionally. C6 is nice, and i can't complain bc its hard work for free. I am at a loss. I just did all of the above you instructed, same result, so I wiped and flashed again just to see what would happen, still no bottom lights or proximity sensor!!! Losing my mind. Any other suggestions please lmk, I'm checking this every 5 minutes lol. Thanks for trying. I've googled this and found no similar issues either. Sucks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
ok - as long as you're sure that you wiped all three in amonra and it still didn't work I have another option for you. I'm not a dev, and I'm not familiar with any recent builds of CM, but I am familiar with an app called Tasker. I've tested a few Tasker profiles that when set up, will monitor the proximity sensor and turn the screen off when it senses something (like your face) is close, and another profile that will turn the capacitive buttons on and off depending on the ambient light levels.

You would need both the tasker app and the locale execute plugin. Are you familiar with Tasker? You can get a 7 day free trial from their website here, and the locale execute plugin free from the market. If you want to give it a shot let me know, and let me know how familiar you are with setting up tasker profiles (so I know how detailed my instructions should be), and I'll spell it out for you.

This should work, unless your prox sensor and cap buttons are completely broken.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
I have no experience with tasker profiles at all, so if you don't mind giving specific details I'm willing to try it out!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
dammit - things always seem much simpler in the middle of the night. The proximity profile isn't working right. It will turn off the screen fine, it just wont turn it back on - it would have to be turned on manually (if thats ok for you though let me know).

Try this app though - it simulates the way the proximity tool works, except instead of turning of the screen based on proximity sensor, it puts a black box over the entire screen whenever you're on a call (so you don't press anything by accident), and you long press a button to get rid of that black screen.

I'm testing the other profile now - the one for the capacative buttons. Now that I'm more awake I want to be sure I didn't miss anything there either.

edit - ok, I'm an idiot and I need to stop making claims when I'm tired. For the capacitive buttons, the profile will turn them on when it's dark, and turn them off when it's light, but I can't seem to get it to time out - so they'll always stay on when it's dark. I'm pretty sure I can set up a toggle widget to turn them on and off, though - let me know if you want to go that route.

Sorry about this - didn't mean to be so lame. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
That's pretty much the way I have Cyan setup. Have to click the lock button to turn my screen off, and the lower 4 button lights only go off when I turn off the screen. So off, so yeah just send them when you can buddy. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
I cant imagine I'm going to have to restore this to factory and then return it, with all the other guys bouncing from rom to rom with no trouble. Somebody has to know what setting I shouldn't have changed? Please help guys. This Evo is my life. You guys no how it is
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Sorry I haven't been able to get that workaround going for you, but there's a thread in themes and apps where somebody posted a gscript script to toggle the capacitive buttons on and off. It's much simpler than what I was going to set up, and unlike tasker, gscript is free.

for the proximity part, if that app didn't cut it for you, the tasker profile would have worked like this - and you only need tasker for this, not that locale execute app.

1. Hit new, and give the profile a name like proxoff and hit ok.

2. go into the state options and select proximity sensor. Hit done.

3.hit the plus at the bottom left, and go into the display options and select display timeout

4. Set it to the lowest setting which is seven seconds. Hit done, then hit done again to get back to the main screen.

4. Hit new again, and name this one timeoutrestore

5. Go into the event options and select display, then select display on and hit done

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4, but this time use your normal timeout setting. Done, done, done all the way out.

Still no luck brothers. I'm going to run cyan 6 until there's a specific fix for that. I'm good at following directions so I don't see where I went wrong. Frustrating, just wanted to be able to switch when I wanted. Could exchange for refurbished but I don't like that idea and ill prob make the same oops I made on this one. Boo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
@For Cyan credibility. Took my phone to sprint and there was corrosion ion the sensor from water, which could only be talking on it leaving the gym. He cleaned it off and said it will eventually come back, but who knows. He might be trying to get me to pay the deductible for a new phone. Only time will tell. Just sucks their replacements are refurbished. Hope I don't ever need one. I love my evo. Especially now that I can run different Roms whenever. Awesome is android, superior is evo. Imo......

Today Engaget had leaked images revealing a prototype model of the new upcoming psp phone.

Heres what else they had to say

Images

View the rest via the link below!

Source : http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/26/the-playstation-phone/

What are your thoughts?

I think it looks great! Hopefully will be the successor to the original psp!

The centre-multitouch pad, to me, looks like a pair of dual analogue sticks :D

Great XD

Engadget have also claimed that the photos are legit!

Funny enough, over at webhallen There seems to be a PSP 2 on offer for pre-order for 3,295 kr (US$ 499.5). Could it be a mistake? A blunder? Or Reality?
[General Topics] android53:
If they keep the hardware similar to current smartphones there would be no reason some of the games couldn't be run on other android phones. This may be great news
[General Topics] Meltus:
Anyone else not see the point in this?

Why would i pay a ridiculous amount of money for a psp which doubles up as a phone when my psp sits on a shelf gathering dust?

If this was a ps3 portable then i'd be getting excited :p
[General Topics] ascottuk:
this just seems ridiculous, why would they stick with snapdragon? or are they going to put in a different GPU, its a playstation phone so you would expect it to be able to throw around some serious muscle for gaming graphics.

I just dont see the point
[General Topics] android53:
Go look at epic citadel for the iphone, we could have games like that, we have the hardware its just the lack of developers
[General Topics] Haano:
True, but its only a prototype so it could change!

Yeah and i agree, they should put a much stronger processor so it can handle some hardcore games!

The only thing i am worried about is if its released with an android os. Then all eyes are going to be looking here, at XDA, waiting for them to release a root so those poor pirates can start their piracy!

Makes me sick!!!

And the developers. Well we wouldn't necessarily need more devs as sony are going to hire them anyways to produce their PSP-like games! Hell they've already started on mortal combat!!!!!!!!
[General Topics] Bellmont:
With Tegra 2 phones coming out early next year, why would Sony bring out a phone so behind the curve?
[General Topics] Haano:
The reason being is that Sony need to get back in the race for portable consoles. With the 3DS coming out next year, and the fact their current PSP failed due to the insane amounts of piracy they need to step it up.

I think its a great idea seing as my current 1000 needs to be replaced with something new and fresh. Remember this is only a prototype and will change in the near future.
[General Topics] rajendra82:
That's exactly the point. The reason your PSP sits on the shelf gathering dust is because you don't take it everywhere like your phone. If you could play ghost of sparta or little big planet during your lunch hour instead of wordfeud or paper toss on your phone, wouldn't you?
[General Topics] Chronos12:
After the PS Phone release on the market, then somebody will find out how PSP games can be coded for Android mobiles like HTC Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S etc.

So I am thinking that later they will be able to play Crisis Core on Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire HD etc.

Hi there,

I've trying some "no Sense" 2.1 Roms and i can't sync my contacts with Facebook.

Now I'm using the Cronos 2.1.4.1 Light Eclair

Since "no Sense" roms have no "Facebook for HTC Sense" I have installed the official Facebook app from market , in order to sync my contacts just the same way like no-sense-devices users have to do.

But the "sync with contacts" option is NOT on the app!!

I've seen this option on other no-sense-devices , but.... i cant see this option on No-Sense Hero devices...

Furthermore, in Settings - Accounts and Sync I have the option to add the facebook account but nothing happens when I try to config the account, nothing happens when I touch on "Facebook" word.

Please help!! and thanks....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windweaver828:
Connect androidvnc to linux xdmcp with multi user access via xinetd

I have finally accomplished this in Linux Mint 13

Step 1: install tightvncserver

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

Step 2: install xinetd if not already installed

sudo apt-get install xinetd

Step 3: configure xinetd

sudo gedit /etc/xinetd.d/vnc-1

paste this into editor and save

service vnc-1

{

disable = no

socket_type	=stream

protocol	=tcp

wait	=no

user	=nobody

server	=/usr/bin/Xvnc

server_args	= :1 -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1280x800 -depth 16 -once -rfbport 5901

# the server_args value may need -securitytypes=none

# to stop the remote vncviewer being prompted for a vnc

# password instead of the MDM Login prompt.

}

Step 4: Add the service

paste this at the bottom of the list above the #Local Services mark

vnc-1	5901/tcp	# vnc session 1

Step 5: Configure xdmcp on host computer

under the menu -> Administration -> Login Window

under general tab uncheck Disable multiple logins for a single user

under remote tab select same as local

then hit the button saying configure xdmcp

make sure there it is check marked

under security tab uncheck deny tcp connections to Xserver

and in permissions i would allow all access

reboot and connect your vnc client
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkozdefantastico:
im thinking about rooting my vibrant. but my buddy told me if i root, that it sends a message or signal of some sort back to t-mobile, thus voiding my insurance that i pay an extra 5 buck a month for. and i dont want to root, then have my $500 phone get stolen, or water damage, or anything like that and then be out a phone. i understand the other risk, like losing my warranty, and the possibility of turning the phone into a paperweight. but i cant find any good answers on this little signal that gets sent back to t-mo. so true or false? Details? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
There is no signal that goes back to T-Mobile because you root your device. T-Mobile can tell if it's rooted if you send it back to them for a warranty repair rooted. And they can (though often don't) deny warranty claims because of this. So, now that we've doffed our tinfoil hats.... :)

The real issue here is honest risk assessment and an understanding of what root is and why we want it.

Rooting is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. Merely rooting the phone changes practically nothing at all really. Rooting (or obtaining superuser/administrator privileges) simply allows you access to the OS in a manner generally not necessary to simply USE a device.

The question you really should be asking is why should I root my phone? If you come up with reasons and then root, you must then accept responsibility for what you do, as well as what you can undo.

Are there some things you cannot do without root? Yes. Are they deal breakers? Except for the tinkerer who invested in an Android device precisely BECAUSE they wanted to tinker with it at the OS level, the answer here is generally no.

Root is not needed to install apps, play games, make phone calls, navigate, read twitter, etc... If you want total control over the look/feel/behavior, or even the entire OS, then you need root. So it depends on what your intentions are.

Many things that WE DO HERE do require root access. But we're all well aware that doing so absolves T-Mobile from necessarily having to honor a warranty.

Now, can a phone be rooted, tinkered with, and then reverted to a factory state in a manner where T-Mobile/Samsung would be basically unaware (effectively) that the device had ever been rooted or tinkered with? Yes. Does this mean you are not responsible for what you do to your phone? No.

Just keep in mind that many of the things we do to our phones with root access are varying degrees of risky, so it is equally possible (though not really likely if you do your homework) to brick your device and make the ability to revert the phone to a factory state impossible.

The reason why service providers will void warranties with evidence of root is a practical one for them. Rooting an Android phone is generally (or usually becomes) easy as pie. Modding your phone, thanks to the gracious work of many devs and rom cooks, is also very easy. So easy that you can easily do most of this stuff without having the first clue what you've actually done. Click a few buttons, smile, eat pie...mmm...tasty pie! :)

Start stacking multiple mods along with this lack of clue, and you can easily screw up a device. This is a road T-Mobile (and every other provider) does not want to encourage. People's stupid mistakes can cost them money. It's just that simple. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkozdefantastico:
i have mos def been doing my research . and i know the things i wanna do once i root. i just wanted to be positive that if i root, and then somthing happens to my phone that is not from me rooting (like if i gets stolen, damaged, or lost) that i can get a new one with out having to pay full price. thanks for the advice friend :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Hard to top the previous post, but remember, you can always unroot if you ever needed to send your phone back. With custom recoveries you can make backups of your system, and three Vibrant is crazy hard to brick...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Well nothing is 100% positive, and you should realize that your ability to avoid violating the spirit (if not the letter) of the warranty entirely depends on your ability to leverage your research towards understanding what you can easily and safely do.

Gloom and doom aside, so long as you can do a hard reset, reliably enter download mode, figure out Odin3 v 1.30 and use it to flash back to factory JFD (something I do as a safeguard first step when messing with experimental roms anyway...it's best to start with a clean slate...), it's simple to get the phone back to a pristine state.

I generally err way on the side of caution when answering these sorts of questions, but only because I've seen some people do some really boneheaded things here. ;)

YMMV. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkozdefantastico:
bird is the word. now i just kinda have to decide which way to go about actually rooting. seems like theres multiple ways to do so. any thoughts on which way of rooting is the best? or do they all have the same features?

It's best to learn yourself, because that way you know what happens to your phone.

I no longer root other people's phone or mod it in any way. There is always that .00001% chance the phone would brick. I would feel horrible if I broke somebody's phone.

Not to be mean either but people come back to me for "Tech support" Blaming me that there phone isn't working properly because I "Rooted it" for them.

Also.. it's really easy to do. I mean all you have to do is:

-Get samsung drivers

-Put phone in USB Diagnostic Mode

-Run the Noobnl one click root.

Your done.

Bomix is right. And its SUPER easy. If you have windows 7 you might have a smig harder time. I had to run the program 7 times to get it to finally connect and do it.
