[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SStifter:
Ok so I noticed last night when I was on skype that once my call finished I was in a strange menu and that got me thinking about my proximity sensor.

Went into the system menu, tested the proximity sensor and yep, it's ****ed.

When I place my finger over the sensor, it's off, when I remove my finger, it's on.

Anyone have this problem or know a way to fix it without getting a phone replacement??

Ta!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SStifter:
ok so i went to a shop and had a play with a mini. worked as it should. went to an x10 with 2.1 and it has the same problem that i have... wtf?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SStifter:
odd. so i called myself at home and everything was working as it should. even though it didnt work with skype last night and it didnt work when i tried it with a friend at work...

hmmm
[Nook Color General] jhkues:
Has anyone else besides myself havefull access to the marketplace without doingthe steps after rooting. Only thing I did was access the apps tab from dolohin hd then I was able to access and search etc. I can fjnd everything
[Nook Color General] edison:
Can you elaborate a bit more, please? What version of Dolphin HD are you running? How did you access the apps tab from there?

Which image did you use for rooting?
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
The new Nooter image (2.12.15 released 14/Dec/2010) does all of these things for you. If you re-read the isntructions on Nook Devs you will see this spelled out for you.........
[Nook Color General] jhkues:
Interesting. The page must have been updated after I rooted. Very good tablet fr the price. May just reyurn my galaxy tab.
[Nook Color General] edison:
So are you saying that you actually used the new auto-nooter-2.12.15? And that you didn't sign into YouTube, then sync Gmail before firing up the Market?
[Nook Color General] jhkues:
I don't think I used the new version after all. I certainly did not follow the new steps. I had an existing account from my tab somaybe that made the difference. If there is any wayto tell which autonooter I am usingg I can check that. It was very sttage because at first I got an error message when connecting to marketplace directly but I was ableto getthere jsing the apps link from dolphin hd.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fajarep:
Hello

Desire Z(I don't know which version, asian/europe)

Currently I'm using STOCK ROM with evil kernel, and it's working fine, all the capacitive button bellow touch screen is working fine. But every time, I flash using cyanogen or miui, the touch capacitive button is not working. Maybe anyone have experience with this...??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:
Try making a copy of the /system/usr/keylayout/ and /system/usr/keychars/ folders from your stock rom. Then restore after flashing your custom ROM and reboot.

Make a full nandroid just in case... then:

From stock rom, in an adb shell or a terminal session on the phone.

mkdir /sdcard/keyl /sdcard/keyc
cp /system/usr/keylayout/*.kl /sdcard/keyl/
cp /system/usr/keychars/*.bin /sdcard/keyc/

Then install your custom rom and again from adb shell or term:

mount -o rw,remount /system
cp -f /sdcard/keyl/*.kl /system/usr/keylayout/
cp -f /sdcard/keyc/*.bin /system/usr/keychars/
sync

Wait a minute.

Reboot.

@dadewy

hi, thank you. going to test it asap. currently using Virtuous v0.8.0, no problem, maybe because virtuous doesn't replace all files..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fajarep:
@dadewy OMG, it;s workinggggg..., thank youuu... :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It's because the capacitive buttons are linked to the hardware keyboard layout, and the G2 has a different hardware keyboard layout to the DZ.

I don't understand why this isn't an option in these custom ROMs though (or maybe it is ?).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fajarep:
i think this information should be posted as important for desire z users, because xda already combine g2 with z.. so maybe many custom roms made by g2 keyboard configuration...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I know quite a few others who are running CM on their z without capacitive button issues too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:
All depends what DZ you have, I think. WWE edition seems to map the same as the US/G2. Various Scandinavian/Asian ones don't seem to.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CPCookieMan:
Could someone take a look at what an MIUI port for the Droid Eris might take? If nothing else, I LOVE that lockscreen. I'm not that great at porting roms, I like to know whats going on with my own rom, so if one of the devs thats really good at porting stuff look into this that would be great.

Right here is where you should find the MIUI port with english translation for the Droid Incredible.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaig:
To start, I was using I9000XXJP2 firmware on an unlocked samsung I9000 from Bell. I installed a lagfix a few days ago and everything was working fine. The phone was really slow and freezing a lot today so I decided to restart. Ever since then, the phone is stuck on the Samsung S screen (not the one with the triangle). I can get into download mode just fine and i tried reflashing XXJP2 using odin back onto the phone. Odin does everything fine up until i see a blue 'reset' on odin and the phone is in recover mode with the options asking for me to restart the system etc. I restored to factory settings from there and even cleared the cache and restarted but it is still stuck on that "S" screen at startup. Odin only says "pass" once the phone is disconnected. So as of yet I haven't been able to flash a working ROM back on the phone. If you have any ideas as to which ROM i should try, if you could place a link with that, I would be very grateful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
I've had this problem myself a couple of times (just happened today in fact).

Boot into recovery mode (vol-up, home & power). Do you see any error messages in yellow under the menu?

I was unsuccessful at reflashing any of the Froyo firmwares so I reverted back to the last official 2.1 firmware from Bell JH2. Since I was coming from a 512 pit firmware, I didn't repartition or specify a pit file. This ended up working for me. I've since flashed to JK3 and am about to go back to JPU.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaig:
Reply:

I actually do see an error message E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, Can't mount SD card.

I should mention that Im using the unlocked bell phone on fido. Will i lose the unlock if i downgrade? Also, if you could point me to the site where i can download bell firmware, that would be awesome. I went to samfirmware.com and they dont have canadian versions there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
Unless one of the pros comes by and says otherwise, I understand that's the error indicating internal sdcard issues.

However... if the thing is dead, you can't hurt it more by trying some fixes :)

You can get the official and unofficial Bell firmwares from samfirmware.com, you just have to look in the US section. You want the firmwares starting with "i9000UG". Here's direct download links for you:

JH2 (official 2.1)

http://www.multiupload.com/ZNBT2RY5Y0

JK3 (unofficial 2.2)

http://www.multiupload.com/WTZGSKJGPF

JK4 (official 2.2)

I've heard people flashing this via CWM but I haven't see the files.

Also, I've seen references to people saying their phones begin working again after this error msg after they've left the battery hour for hours.

Let us know how things go.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaig:
Reply:

No go. When i flash to 2.1, it just shows the "S" screen and turns off. When i flash to 2.2, does the same thing as my first post. I still can get to the download screen through all of this so I hope its not messed up too bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
I tried several times this afternoon before it worked including clearing data/cache.

Although, I had a different error message so you might be SOL in the end.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaig:
called samsung

So I called samsung this morning and they basically said they won't repair it because Bell handles repairs. Since I dont have a bell account, I can't get it repaired. I keep reading on forums that if you can get into the download mode, if you see the battery icon when you plug the phone in, its not totally bricked so i still have hope yet everything I've tried doesn't work. I tried to adb into the phone in recovery mode and it detects it but says I dont have permissions to push files onto the phone. If anyone can tell me what possibly went wrong and if it is fixable, how, that'd be awesome because right now this is a very expensive paperweight.
[Nexus S General] tibere86:
I'm leaning on upgrading to the Nexus S from the Nexus One, but have a few questions concerning noise cancellation. In the tech specs, the Nexus S states it has software noise cancellation. So is it safe to assume it uses software to remove background noise as opposed to the Nexus One which used a secondary mic? How is the software based noise cancellation on the Nexus S performing for people? Would love feedback. I work at a manufacturing plant, and being able to hold conversations in and around noisy equipment is a must. Last question is, does the built in VoIP stack on the Nexus S make use of the noise cancellation?

I would really appreciate the feedback.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
I don't know, but in another thread someone posted that their new nexus s performed very bad in a noisy environment, unusable actually. So its worth investigating and owners posting their results for now.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
I am pretty sure that "software noise cancellation" is bull****. they just didnt want to disappoint existing Nexus One owners. Maybe Gingerbread in general tries to improve sound quality, but it has nothing to do with Nexus S
[Nexus S General] rhca50:
I haven't been in a "plant" environment, but have been in a noisy office, and it has performed as well as the N1. I also frequently use the google chat voip calling feature that was added to gmail recently. It mentions "software based" noise canceling. If it's the NS uses the same, then it will be awesome.

How does your N1 perform in your plant environment? I'm guessing it also will have problems.
[Nexus S General] tibere86:
The Nexus One performs great when it comes to noise cancellation. Never had anyone complain. I have tested the noise cancellation by leaving myself a voicemail on my work phone standing next to a centrifuge, and was shocked at the results. Not a hint of background noise. My voice was pronounced and clear, albeit a tad "digitized", which I'm sure is a side-effect of the noise cancellation. Only gripe I have is the low earpiece volume. Even on "full" blast, it's still too low in noisy environments.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
I am having complaints from people I talk to using my nexus s. They say that it sounds like they are on speaker phone and that the call is nice and quiet until I start talking; which they say has a lot of static and background noise. Any other people getting complaints from people you talk to using your nexus s?

p.s. I work in a loud environment and never had issues using my N1.
[Nexus S General] Matterhorn:
I have commented on this in other threads. I've used a N1 since its launch. I returned my NS after having used it for 3 weeks as my primary phone. The main reason that I returned it is the lack of noise canceling, the ear speaker sounds tinny and on a busy street the traffic noise is picked up by the mic and broadcast in my ear. My N1's in call sound quality is far superior to the NS. The noise canceling really does a good job.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
given that the Nexus S uses software noise cancellation instead of a secondary mic, is this something that may be able to be fixed with a new ROM or custom kernel?
[Nexus S General] Matterhorn:
I doubt it, for noise canceling to work in an intelligent way, I would think there needs to be more than one mic. All of the noise canceling headsets I've seen have two mics, including my Jawbone bluetooth which has a button that rests on my cheek.
[Nexus S General] carlitos66:
if you work in noisy environment don't buy this phone. I returned it only because of this problem. Every other problem that people complain here on this forum I didn't have and are nothing when it comes to phone calls. The primary function of the phone is the worst ever. Nobody hear me when I made phone calls from my car (driving, not using blue tooth - yes still legal in some countries) and I had to put the phone always on the speaker phone to be able to hear the other callers. Finally give up and returned the phone. Same isuue with my old Samsung i8910, but i was able to tweak the speaker settings in phone service software.

otherwise great phone.
[Nexus S General] mikeruoc:
I have found the that the NS works better than my N1 in general as a phone. The call quality is much better and the ear piece is MUCH better than the N1. N1 was hard to hear in anything above an avg room noise. NS I have to turn it down most of the time and much richer sound than the tin sound of the N1. Been in a few coffee shops that are loud and did calls in them. People on the other end said they could hear the background noise but it was very low and I was very loud and clear. Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
I am going to try an exchange. I bought one of the first units sold at my local best buy on release morning so maybe I got a bad one. Friend of mine who bought just before me exchanged his and said his new one has much better call quality.
[Nexus S General] nailerr:
I am going to try to put this to the test. Although currently I am unhappy with the results I am getting recording wise.

The situation is that I own a Galaxy S GT-I9000 and often had complaints about sounding muffled. Now a Nexus S and the complaints are gone.

However. It is very difficult to understand an issue OTHER people are hearing, so I am doing some recording tests in different situations and I will be posting the results to http://technocrate.net in the next day or so.
[Nexus S General] craz6r:
I'm in the same boat with ya. I thought I was the only one. yeah perfect on the N1 now my wife says I sound garbled on the end. I changed the radio thought that would help but didn't. Just upgraded my from the N1 to the NS other wise the phone is great. I guess there's not a fix for this. I'll be returning mine then. even with the newest radio KI1, same way

Edit: Returning my second one, I'm done with this phone. I'm sad to see it go really like it beside the mic problem. Did samsung happen to fix this later on in a rev. batch?
[Nexus S General] craz6r:
Phone Fixed Post above

Well called samsung and they me told to send in my second phone in. I explained the issue about the mic to the tech which said they never heard about that issue. Ok well havent got a chance to make it home yet to test it but they replace more than just the mic:

Original Problem:

TECHNICAL INQUIRY - AUDIO/SPEAKER/SOUND/VIBRATION - SPEAKERPHONE NOT WORKING

Problem found:

RINGERTONE INAUDIBLE/NO ADJUST - CAMERA FAILURE - LOCK UP DURING OPERATION (SW)

Solution:

REPLACED COMPONENT - REPLACED COMPONENT - REPLACED PBA

Til i check it when I get home, just to let you guys know. The problem at the top, there system didn't have an option for the microphone. They replaced a lot of stuff but the mic only problem was the problem? I was liked its not the speaker just the mic to the tech. She said it was in the notes about the problem. I've been very happy with samsung trying to fix this issue. so far til i get home.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dgrouch:
I think with the latest JPU firmware, Galaxy S is the best Android phone feature wise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
I wouldn't change the SGS for xt720 or even a Nexus S at the moment. (720p recording, fast, etc.) Thanksfully some nice guys will port some parts of the kernel drivers which arent yet working on the SGS (read: closed source) and then build some AOSP Gingerbread 'n friends. CM7 would also be a piece of cake once kernel issues are sorted :P
[Nexus S General] tintingkc:
Not sure if its my phone and it needs to go back.

At the earpiece there is a flat spot that runs across and then another one just below it.

Seems like the process to get the curve threw them a little since its wavy all over but that is something you have to look for and can look past. The earpiece area is what I am most concerned with. Would like to know if others are seeing this.
[Nexus S General] kamesen:
would you be kind enough to post a picture?
[Nexus S General] tintingkc:
Probably have to pull out the gear to do that but will be taking pics of the vibrant tomorrow so can do it then.

If you look at the speaker and then to the right and left of it there is a flat spot that runs through the glass from side to side if that makes sense.

Either way I will get pics up tomorrow.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
post pic..

I don't see anything on mine.
[Nexus S General] tintingkc:
Here are the pics.

It could be designed into the screen but there is another line under it and its not real pretty when the phone is sitting on a desk and you see that. Guess I am just used to the flat smooth screens like the other galaxy s phones.
[Nexus S General] r34p3rex:
Is it like, indented into the glass? Looks strange
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
Mine doesn't look like that. Mine is smooth throughout.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
Ok I see it in the pics. That kinda stinks I thought Google said the design was to be the screen blending in to the phone. Bummer.
[Nexus S General] tintingkc:
Going to the store tomorrow and checking out others. If it was a common issue I would just deal with it. Oh well.
[Nexus S General] tintingkc:
It is. Its a flat spot and I can see why its there with the speaker hole there and the cam and prox sensors. Seems they could make a smooth transition or I got a dud.
[Nexus S General] graemegb:
Take it back and get a new one.
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
Seems like a hardware defect, I don't see that on mine.
[Nexus S General] dls5375:
I also noticed that on the first one I got, although not as defined. The issue I had was with the plastic ring around the screen. It was deformed in a few areas. I returned it for another one. This ones perfect. I suggest you do the same.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
I have it too.. but not as bad as yours. I have to really use the glare to see it.
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
I have the same thing...cant notice unless it has light glare on it.

I think pics make it look worse but you can always return it.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Maybe it's flat cuz of the front camera and the light sensors.

I can't tell on mine, unless i have light reflecting on it (like in your pictures)
[Nexus S General] tintingkc:
Thats what I am wondering. I had to use the light to get it in the pics. I deal with glass all day so see these things more then the average person. The bottom is nice and smooth :D. but the top is a different story. I wonder if others have this and just don't notice it. I hope not but maybe the pics will help others see what I am seeing and give a definite answer.

Either way I am going to go check out some others at BB tomorrow and will report back with what I find.

It may not be a issue at all and part of the design of the phone.
[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
same here but i didnt notice it until you mentioned it.
[Nexus S General] southeastbeast:
No problems here on mine. Weird.
[Nexus S General] southeastbeast:
Crap. In the kitchen light I can see it now. Fffuuuuuuuu
[Nexus S General] riskyTrousers:
Got the same flat spot on mine :mad:

Went to my local best buy to exchange. They only had one and it had the same flat spot.

Just to clarify, the flat spot is not immediately apparent, you have to have the screen off and use the reflection from a bright light to see it.

Can you guys check yours to see if you have the same issue? It might be on all devices, in which case we have no choice but to deal with it.
