[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Matthew81:
That is a really good catch and I can confirm that my HD2 in android also does the same thing. When I press the end call key for it to go in standby the light goes off as soon as I press the end call button to wake it up it starts flashing again.

Edit: I should also note that I'm using MDJ 4.3 Android build, and Windows Mobile is stock from TMOUSA
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hastarin:
I've seen this mentioned before. I hadn't thought of using my webcam to view it.

I'm unsure if this is a bug with the kernel, or a side affect of the way Android works.

I've noted it on my list but unfortunately kernel development seems to have stalled lately and I'm not sure the main devs are even looking at my list. :(

Hopefully things pick up again in the new year.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] drizztje:
I think it is the same chip that handles light and proximity sensing, called cm3602, so as long as you have auto backlight enabled, you will see the blinking.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sbibif:
i am not an expert in the domain of electronics, so i'll take the thing about the chip for granted, but the thing about autoblacklight , i don't think is the answer cause the autoblacklight in WM is on and that blicking thing does not happen !

and my purpose was not to incriminate this or that , but to say just that ,that thing could be the reason why the battery drains so fast on android builds (other than the permanent internet connection )

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] drizztje:
I didn't make a hard statement, I just said what I think, so you should not take it for granted. I didn't test it extensively in WM, but I saw the blinking in WM for a short period before EBL started android boot. Are you 100% sure that the blinking is not there in WM even if the light sensor is working? I tried to find some info about cm3602, it seems to be a dumb device without any configuration interface.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slayerns:
check dmesg if it is full of "intr_status=0x02".

The problem is that when you use toolchain other than 2010q1 (http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1293) ,

proximity sensor driver doesn't work properly. After its first activation, it just doesn't stop. It continuously polls in an infinite loop. That's why you see those blinkings which are probably infrareds. It was causing too much current drainage (65mA) for me even in suspend. Now, i used the above toolchain to compile the kernel and it is around 10mA in suspend.

So; if you are compiling your own kernel, use the above toolchain. If you are using someone else's kernel, tell him to use it.

EDIT: I realised that this isn't the problem that you observe, this was just another problem that I faced.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slayerns:
Our problem is, proximity sensor is running even if there is "no call". It should be online only during the call for power saving purposes.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
Should I be able to see it when recording with a regular hdv camcorder? I tried it but don't see the light.

Edit: My mistake, it is there just very small and I had to zoom way in. It's on as soon as the screen turns on and stays on. It does turn off though when the screen goes off. It does explain that I get good standby power drain but when typical useage time is not nearly as good as winmo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zhix:
oh man .. this is really good stuff .. if this is true .. and this really solves the high battery drainage on andriod(on HD2) .. i would be so damn happy .. no reason to sell my HD2 and get the Desire HD anymore.

thanks to threadstarter
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
I couldn't find anything to disable the proximity sensor but I found a small program that reports the sensor readings.

When I put my finger over the sensors, the light sensor takes about 2 seconds to go from 160lux to 10lux, while the proximity sensor changes instantly from far to near.

[Wildfire General] Knobibrot:
Hey there,

it's me again! ;)

The Wildfire of my girlfriend got another stange behavior:

Since I flashed RUU 1.37 she receives strange sms,all day long (every 5 minutes or so):

A popup comes up, showing a (random) number eg like 3409362712 and there is a "cancel" and "save" button below.

Any idea what that is and more important: how to fix that?

I guess these are "hidden" sms send by the provider, which normaly stay hidden

but thats just a guess...

I'll try to make a screenshot, next time such a sms comes up..
[Wildfire General] kennyhkw:
Where did u download the RUU from?

I got mine from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836771 and it works fine with no messages or anything.
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
Every time I switch off and then back on (reboot) It sends some random sms to my gf, but only to her...
[Wildfire General] Knobibrot:
I think I got it...

after a bit of research I found out, that my provider sends the coordinates of the cell I'm currently loged in via cell broadcasting.

So the numbers I get are the locations of the cells.

After I turned CB off, it stopped.
[HD2 General] azuhl:
I wonder, does anyone know if I'm able to use an unlocked HD2 (International (if that's accurate)) in Japan, if I pop a Softbank/Au simcard in?

私のオープンHD2(国際的)に日本以てSoftbank/auは大丈夫でか? ごめんなさい日本語よこ話せません。
[HD2 General] doitfu:
You can use softbank sim and NTT DOCOMO sim.

Softbank or NTT Docomo is better.

AU is not recommended.
[HD2 General] azuhl:
Cheers, I'll possibly not be able to use Softbank, the missus swears by Au and DoCoMo are rather expensive, I was just wondering about the bands on the HD2, if it's a Quad-band.
[HD2 General] cliffordlee:
Yes, HD2 supports Softbank's networks in Japan, at least I was able to connect it while roaming in Japan.

Don't take my words for granted but afaik, softbank phones are sim-locked to softbank sims only while

softbank sims can work on softbank and non-softbank phones.

However, you as a softbank subscriber may have problems sending out and receiving email/MMS and may also be charged for data usage instead if you were to use a non-softbank phone unless you know the settings/get a custom softbank firmware

This thread below, tho old, may be helpful for you as it offers a software workaround.

[HD2 General] azuhl:
Thanks for your advice. My crappy-iPhone was locked to Softbank, I can use any sim-card, but whenever I upgrade, I need to put the old sim-card in.

I guess I'll just take it with me, if it doesn't work, I'll order one that does.

Thanks for your time guys :)

hi,

i have a new problem that start in the last few days ,from some reason i can't install new apps and update existing apps- its say: "update unsuccessful" after its download the update and try to install it.

i also tried to delete some apps in order to get some more free space and now i have 50Mb but i still have the same problem.

please advice,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 3n3rg3ia:
Hello friend , i want to help you out but I'm in the dark,you didn't mention witch app you can't update and if you use a custom rom or stock rom.

Whatsoever IF you can't update an application that was included in your rom and you using a custom rom most of the times they cannot be updated or uninstalled. The best way is to ask your rom's developer to update the rom with the newest versions of the applications you want. Another way (risky way) is to download titanium backup from market, this app gives you the option to uninstall apps builted in rom , after removing the app install the newest version one.

i must warn you uninstaling a builted in app may have bad result to the rom, i suggest a backup before trying this.

About your storage , does your rom has a2sd ? If yes you are OK unless you have really big number of installed apps cuz internal memory still saving a small amount of the apps data(i don't know exactly how it works).

I hope i helped you out and good luck with any decision you ull take.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] idn1984:
First, thanks for your attention.

I have Cyanogen-6.1.0-N1-signed and app2sd app.

The apps that i tried to update are not built-in apps(lookout,sms backup...) and i also tried games but still i had the same error...i think i will try to uninstall the relevant apps and reinstall them maybe it will solve the problem...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] double_ofour:
Kindly check under the "CyanogenMod Settings" - > "Application Settings"

try to disable (uncheck) first the "Allow application moving" and make sure the "Install Location" is set to automatic or Internal..

Lets see if this fix your problem..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brack11:
You don't need to use lagfix with voodoo kernel, out will serve you as CWM with 2e. I use that kernel for improving battery life and for making camera apps working, so, there are no obligations in using voodoo kernel. By the way - I use latest v69 of advanced voodoo kernel now, no problems with camera apps.

I used z4 and did "Permanent root". Does that mean I can flash custom ROMs now?

I am still running the Verizon stock rom for the DroidX. It is nice, but I want to explore the other custom options out there. What do I need to do in addition to rooting I guess, is my real question. And is the z4 root method sufficient, it was just one click and a reboot, but I do have superuser abilities now.
[Droid X General] gmenfan83:
yes z4 root is sufficient as far as rooting goes ,now install rom manager and koush bootstrap recovery from the market ,they are free,as far as deodex you shouldnt have to worry about it since most roms will deodex for you when they install,but if you want to just place a theme without placing a rom then you will have to deodex first since the rom is not there to do it for you first.i would suggest reading this and get a better understanding

The most easiest is just to update your radio; Any radio => 2.08.50 are compatible with Android.

Steps that you need to do:

- Install HSPL: (HSPL thread)

- Install a radio: (Radio thread)

How to do:

also chech around here there are a few recommended sites, just look harder (try the search option it works well )

I would personnally never want to give my IMEI to anyone. With all those IMEI scams floating around.. Never give ur IMEI. Unless possibly to ur phone provider or the police. Seriously though, why pay 20 euros on a website, that has high chances to be a scam, rather than bring it in a shop where you know the guy will not dissapear... It also costs 20 euros to do it in shops, so.. its not about saving money, is it?

Anyways, check ur spams, ask the website, annoy them. Try and leave comments that u get no answer, and try and discourage future people wanting to buy from this site to get scammed :)
