Is there any way to disable the backlights behind the Dedicated touch buttons located at the bottom of the vibrant. ?

I am very annoyed by the way it lights on and off. I can easily navigate without it and im thinking that it would also consume less battery life.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] a4 moda:
Blinding to you too huh?

I've found not. They "were" the quintessential "look" of uber tech awesomeness, but now I"m just going blind at night. Haha. Guess that comes with age.

I think it is a software modification as black night notification can be turned on. So as such, maybe it can be turned off as well.

So far, haven't heard anything about it's implementation though.

If I find something, I will report back.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
I'd also love these turned off or ate least down. Adjbrightness can do this with other phones but not,apparently, the sgs line.
[Vibrant General] Guardian_Bob:
Short of opening up the phone and putting in a resistor, it currently isn't possible to reduce the brightness of the LEDs. That's because the interface for controlling the LEDs is too slow. Normally LEDs are dimmed by blinking them really fast, as other methods are hard on the lights.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
What I suggested doesn't work. Edited accordingly.

"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
[Vibrant General] Guardian_Bob:
Do not do this. The file doesn't do what you think it does and removing this file will cause a boot loop.
[Vibrant General] oblib__:
I'm also interested in this. Anyone know anything yet?
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
I just wanted you to inform you about my first Android application: rsync backup for Android. It is available in Market (for free, ad-supported).

Comments, suggestions, feature requests and bug reports are welcomed.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Just curious about your instructions.... You mention generating keys multiple times, but not sure why?

Typically to use ssh keys, one must generate keys on the client, transfer the public key of the client to the server. Then the client can connect into the server using the certificate rather than passphrase authentication.

Your instructions confused me.. It could be due to not having coffee yet, but might want to streamline the info a bit or users might never get to actually using it. :)

I'll try it myself later, as I already do this but curious how you've done it on your end. Here's what I run manually about once a week from GScript:

And the server itself does a hard-link copy and move of directory names etc which maintains a set of 4 snapshots, I also do the same thing for my backups on the machines themselves.. Handy to find stuff I just realized I hosed a month ago.. :)

Biggest annoyance was having to dupliate ssh (dropbear) and fix it so it uses /dev/urandom, as /dev/random isn't a viable source for ssh.
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
These are three different ways of generating private+public key pair. I'll add some description, because it could be confusing, as you said.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Ah, yes that makes more sense, give them options on how to generate the keys.. However, you can only create keys on the client itself, one mention seemed like it was referring to using a Linux box to create them?
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
You can always generate keys on Linux box, then transfer private key to your Android and append public key to authorized_keys.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
To connect from Linux to Android... Yes. But pretty sure that won't work for Android to Linux, which is what I'd think you'd normally do?
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
He's saying, move both keys. Generally the private key is left on the system that generated it, but that doesn't need to be the case. At least as far as I know.
[Android Apps and Games] qisback:
First off, brilliant app! It's exactly what I have been looking for to save me a huge amount of time and effort. Currently I was doing this by hand because I've had bad experiences with sdcards suddenly just stop working meaning I loose everything.

I have set a range of profiles up and had Tasker kick them off daily however I am at a loss how to get --exclude-from '/sdcard/excludefile.txt' working. When ever I run a profile it states:

What I'm wanting to do is have the following profiles

You can see what I'm wanting to do, I want a little more control over some profiles i.e. so I can backup DCIM whilst out and about or back up the sdcard without backing up all my music, videos etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
Try filename without the quotes:

--exclude-from /sdcard/excludefile.txt

Currently custom parameters parser takes arguments literally. Splitting is done using space as a delimited. That's why spaces in filenames won't work and rsync think that your filename is '/sdcard/excludefile.txt' (file excludefile.txt' in directory '/sdcard) instead of /sdcard/excludefile.txt
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
Yes, it will work. If you don't believe me, check it for yourself. In fact I initially generated my private key on my Linux box (using dropbearkey), then tested method with dropbearconvert.

Please notice that what you're generating is key pair, which means that it will work as long as you put public key in remote side's authorized_keys (no matter what system it is and where it was generated) and authenticate using corresponding private key.
[Android Apps and Games] Guardian_Bob:
Been using it for weeks now, I love it.

You should document a few things, such as how to create a dropbear key from a standard key. ;)

Confirmation number: 9X233376XY8982101.
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
It is documented on application's webpage (see Menu -> Help).
[Android Apps and Games] Guardian_Bob:
So it is. I'm not sure if that was there when I first started using, but you've added the things I would have suggested (being able to change the command line options, etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] qisback:
The exclude files I'm parsing don't have spaces in anyway so luckily I didn't have to worry about that (coming from a linux background has taught me to avoid spaces where ever possible, not to mention keep everything lower case :D)

Your suggestion of removing the quotes (') seems to have done it, I use rsync on my linux boxes which require you to use quotes when parsing an exclude file.

Will check that it's parsing the exclude files correctly and will report back.

As per documentation that someone has suggested, I found the current documentation to work find, however it seems a little sparse. Maybe creating a wiki site for the documentation might help with this?

Again thankyou for a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] qisback:
The exclude list seems to be working as expected, I now have it syncing as follows

I've also significantly increased my excludes to cover directories that have permission issues or that are (re)created on boot.
[Android Apps and Games] Guardian_Bob:
So one suggestion, is it possible to add a scheduler to this?

I use Titanium Backup to make backups of my apps/data daily and would like that pushed automatically to my rsync server.
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
I didn't plan to add this, you can use Tasker or Locale.
[Android Apps and Games] qisback:
As _sammael_ says, tasker works great with it.

I get it to automagically rsync when ever I connect to my wifi, and then on a timed scheduled.
[Android Apps and Games] rmeden:
ssh required?

great app.. like others, I was using rsync manually.

Do you only support rsync over ssh? I currently use the (insecure) rsync protocol to sync a "TV" folder on my Windows Media Center box. I can install a SSH server, it just seems overkill for my needs.

Robert
[Android Apps and Games] mkowalczuk:
Currently only rsync over ssh is supported, but I guess I can add selection whether user want to use ssh or not. Am I thinking correctly that it will be as simple as skipping rsync's -e option?

I am using a plastic case for now with a three dollar matt screen protector. It feels very cheap.

I've looked into invisible shield but i dont like how it feels.

Took a little bit of stretching and developing a technique to get the phone back out, but didn't take long.

It's nice to have a little bit of extra security.

I am not familiar with 1-wire or OWFS, not to mention having a setup at home... but the concept is intriguing. What's next for the app? Humidity (and other sensors)? Or eventual remote control of relays (and thus devices)?

[Desire General] Kinclad:
Hi there,

As you can see from the title Im a bit hacked off with HTC. I have a desire myself which I am really happy with, so bought the other half a new silver one on Ebay (originally from Holland!?).

Anyway they say its not covered under warranty, she has had it less that 3 months and the silver is just disappearing.

Anyone else had problems with the silver model or warranty?

Many Thanks,

[Nexus S General] harveydent:
My wife called T-mobile last week and they said they discontinued the "smartphone/non-smartphone" unlimited web distinction. They said basically, if you use less than 200 mb/month, you pay $10/mo, if you regularly go over 200mb, you pay $30
[Nexus S General] :
Alot of people are grandfathered in.
[Nexus S General] Das_mobile:
I have the $5.99 T-Zones plan. Hope this works. Seems like non branded android phones are the only ones to work on these legacy plans
[Nexus S General] ksc6000:
I have a Nexus One and I switched to the Unlimted web for phones for 10 dollars a month just before they took away the subscription, but my phone keeps reverting back to the damn 30 dollar plan?

How do you stop that?
[Nexus S General] Das_mobile:
T-mobile should not force you onto the $30 plan, they may block you on the EPC APN, but if you switch to internet2.voicestream.com it should work on $10
[Nexus S General] Aaron Y.:
Das-mobile is correct but then mms is messed up and you somehow need to add two apn's which someone will help if it works.

Im sure it will work... I don't see why not.
[Nexus S General] mprziv:
FWIW, I just checked on my nexus s, and the 5.99 tzones plan is working for internet access just like it did on the nexus one...so I think the $10 internet plan should work too.

Just make sure you buy the full price phone...or else they will require you to pick up a more expensive web plan.
[Nexus S General] PolishDude:
lets see for how long, even on my vibrant it worked for a couple hrs before it shut off, hopefully it does
[Nexus S General] mprziv:
Yeah, on phones that are tmobile branded, like the vibrant or the G2...you're going to have that problem.

Some of the images for those widgets are in the skin.

These are described as framework mods. This requires you to have a rooted device with s-off (eng bootloader or radio s-off), then can then be flashed. Not as easy as just the skin components. There are some available here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801928
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalfont_court:
Hi everyone,

I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2 via Samsung Kies. I have used Ryan's Z4root to root it which was success. Everything was fine until here. When I tried to fix the lag using the update.zip, it failed saying 'file verification failed' (somthing of this sort). I chekced on different forums and found that there isn't any update.zip file to fix lag on 2.2 (am I right?).

If there is one, could someone point me in that direction. If there isn't, how can I undo 2.2 and rollback to 2.1 so that I can root it and fix the lag.

Please ask if you need any further details regarding my phone or the process I used to root and fix the lag.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _dsk_:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalfont_court:
Thanks for your reply but I have already rooted my 2.2. What I am looking is for a lag fix solution on my 2.2 or rolling back to 2.1 where there are loads of easy lag fix solutions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
head over to the android dev subforum, look for any of the lagfix kernels.

Alternatively use cf-root which will allow you to use 2e recovery and thereby apply your update.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
Do you know which 2.2 firmware you flashed? Was it jk3 or jk4? This sounds like a recovery version issue and not all solutions support every version of firmware.

+ Ryans OCLF for lag fix works for me .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
Any lagfix that can be installed as an app should be ok. You'll still be prevented from applying anything via the update.zip method until you resolve the recovery "issue".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalfont_court:
My current 2.2 firmware is JP3. This is what is showing after I updated to 2.2 via Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalfont_court:
Yes!!!

Ryan's Root and OCLF worked for me aswell.

Rooting worked fine on the first go but lag fix resulted in a black screen on my galaxy. As I had an external SD card in my phone, I removed it out and ran the lag fix again. It worked this time!!!
[Streak 5 General] anney:
After updating from 1.6 to 2.2 I have been having problem in making call from my phone. If I receive calls , there is no problem. But if I make a call the person at the receiving end does not hear me while I can hear him. But if at that moment I switch to handsfree (speaker) of the phone, then the other person will hear me.I did not have this problem before the update and I don't think my mic is broken. Please help anyone, everyone.
[Streak 5 General] :
Have you tried the sound recorder app or video camera yet? If they work then I would imagine there is a problem. If your running everything stock then you should be able to get a replacment phone. I'd try to back everything up and do a factory reset first.
[Streak 5 General] bigelvis:
The only one thing which I can advice you is to do factory reset which is under settings- privacy,but be aware that it will wipe data on the phone storage (not sd card)so do an app backups eg.using titanium backup.

I'm not sure if it helps but this is what I'd do after making sure that mic is ok
[Streak 5 General] anney:
Thanks a lot for your response. After a thorough scrutiny, I discovered that the problem had to do with an application (all call recorder) which is compatible with 1.6 but not with 2.2. Phone is back to normal after uninstalling the application. Once again thanks.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlsty:
hi rezkon,

according to the knowledge available to me, majority of causes of bricking a WM phone are these:

load corrupted HSPL

run out of battery during flashing a ROM

unplug the USB cable during flashing a ROM

i am not aware fo other cases, but I think there must be other cases. I flashed my phone several times with EnergyROMs and I really like them :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Generally with a Topaz though there is an option in the standard flash ROM of restarting the flash from the beginning so i would think that most of those are covered by that . I know that i flashed a standard ROM onto mine and half way through it lost connection for which the flash utility told me so and let me restart the flash all over again so from my point of view that's pretty robust.
