Lol when I first saw this thread title I thought... WHAT! my phone has a front facing camera?

Then I see this clever little invention but like other clever inventions here (like the gamepads) they seem to be hard to get.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] SuperDave81:
Don't forget the plain and simple fact that the mirror is the easy part which can be done DIY, but you would also need software to modify the camera image as it would be upside down on the recipient's end.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
what?

you dont need a software tweak to flip it right side up. smart use of more than 1 mirror will fix that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] qiaunus:
Who said the image would be upside down? Did you Dave? Lol! It's just like looking behind you through a periscope! It can't be inverted! I'll try to build my own out of cardboard and using a thin reflective material. Glass mirrors would make it bulky and are hard to cut to size. Could anyone suggest possible materials please? Something like sweet wrapper but more rigid... hope you get the picture!

They are for iphones. Not sure if they work with android phones but they could help inspire one of us to build one!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] moolash:
re

It's mainly about the camera placement. iPhones have the cameras at the same place, but every Android phone-brand is different, so one should manufacture/build different ones. Or invent a universal solution. Earlier in the thread there's an Italian idea (I won't look it up now...), but if the placement is just a little off, you won't see a thing.

Yeah, but you're right... These ideas should inspire people... :D:D:D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] SuperDave81:
You guys are wrong and don't understand the concept of mirrors. Periscopes don't invert the image because of the Z shape configuration of the mirrors. These camera mods would invert the image because of the C shape configuration of the mirrors. It's simple optical logic, and if you still don't understand, I made a crude drawing.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] swinderz:
this would be really GOOD. skype and this= free video call on wifi.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] evilcuber:
i wonder if i can make one... but i would need some sort of special mirror glass cutting tool

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] racoonowner:
This is a very sweet idea!! id love to get me one of those... :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] qiaunus:
Hmm! You are right Dave! I got that one wrong! However, this issue of inverted image could be avoided by using a horizontal c-shaped mirror configuration rather than a vertical one, which would explain why iseeu and isnapme have adopted this configuration!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] SuperDave81:
You mean like coming out the side of the phone instead of the top? Also, you could put a small convex optic in the front of the side that sticks out over the top to invert the image twice.

EDIT: Actually, that won't work with a 45 degree angle mirror. Since the lens would have to be twice the distance of the focal length from the mirror to properly invert the image with no distortion. This would actually be impossible with a mirror slanted at 45 degrees. You would get the top squished and the bottom elongated. Maybe this is why the FFC on the MT4G take pics that are backwards? Every time my wife takes a pic with the FFC on her MT4g, the writing on her shirt is backwards... Maybe that is the only solution, come out the side and live with the fact that the image is inverted left to right.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] qiaunus:
That's exactly what I meant!

Yeah! Having laterally inverted images is much better than having them upside down!

Also, it's weird why images with the FFC of the MT4G are flipped! Have you tried looking for an option in the camera menu to flip back the photos?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rollex:
Nice this topic alive! Some day I hope this is possible..
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] blast0id:
1. software, which would be needed to compress the 5MP image for streaming purposes, could also flip the image if needed, so the inversion wouldn't be an issue

2. by "some day" will probably be when this phone has long since been obsolete... lol

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
Like many of us on here, I'm suffering from piss poor gps again, initially it was fine now its just gone to pot. I have just upgraded via kies to jpy and it does not seem to have improved so I have come to the conclusion that the SGS will always suffer from poor gps.

I did however take note of the teardown pic posted in another thead of the SGS with its rear cover removed to show both the gps antenna (covered by a screw) and the wifi antenna running down the side of the phone. Now I'm no phone designer not technical expert but to me that screams poor design, which is why I think people see better results after turning the wifi off and then rebooting, as momentarly the wifi is actually off not in a powered down (sleep) state.

So i talked to the place (phones 4 u) I got my mobile from, explaining my problem and that I was really dissatisfied with the phone, they then called there supplier who confirmed that the new ???? SGS is slightly fatter than the old, could this be a redesigned one ???, i have yet to see this newer one but one is being sent to the store for me compare them, i get to take both my old and the newer one away to test them fully.

So there may be light at the end on my gps SGS nightmare tunnel after all, ill keep you all posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phillipm:
I was going to sell my SGS this week and get the nexus s because of the GPS issues.

However id probably get a new SGS is the GPS has been fixed on newer versions...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
Don't think so. I have a new SGS (Manufactured December 2010) and it's the same size. The only difference is the GPS works and the internal SD (it's a Bell phone) seems to be working correctly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logicalstep:
I had my phone replaced by Orange UK. My GPS was all over the place. Since I had it replaced GPS is great. I'm now on 2.2 as well and it seem rock solid.

My new SGS is the same size as my old one, I doubt they would redesign the thickness of the phone at this stage.

Maybe they are a little confused, or their system is telling them incorrect information?

Logicalstep
[Galaxy S I9000 General] muff26576:
Same here, rubbish GPS on the initial Froyo build (flashed through Kies), spot on using Darkyy's 7.5 ROM - I'm no expert but it leads me to think it's software related.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
Well I must say the JL2 firmware that Bell released at Christmas has seemed to clear most of my poor GPS issues.

Seems to be fairly solid now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
as i said guys im not sure i have yet to see this new variation, how can i tell if its newer, ie what do i look for if itsa the same size/thickness as the current one, could it be they changed the antenna position (wifi) to cause less interference.

Hi, i tried running currentwidget to monitor battery usage but its not saving a logfile.

i run the app but when i click view log, a message comes up saying log file not found?

am i doing something wrong?

:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Yes you first need to set it to actually write the log file.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitboy0:
I tried the App on DEFY. It allways can't find the logfile ... of course I activate that "log file"-writing ... also gave it another name "/sdcard/current.log" ... restarted the Phone, leave the app open or close it ...

The Interval is set to 60 seconds, but even after 5 minutes there is no logfile.

What can be wrong there?

PS: Now there IS a logfile finaly but if I place the Widget on the homescreen there is "no data" above the power-symbol. The "last update" is updated at the given Interval. Under the "last update-time is a green "Update now"-Text.

The logifile contains the Date,Time "nodata" and "100%" on every line!

Try finding a Gapps package (Google Apps) its usually in a .zip file and you can just open up that and install the .apk of the certain app or boot into recovery and flash like your flashing a rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JarrettXavier:
Hey all,

Here is the Data Service Governer Killer mod that the forums have been buzzing about for CM6.1.0 stable release. Credit goes to BThomas22x from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10100043&postcount=1 All I did was package it up nicely for CM 6 users. Make sure you do a backup first and then flash the attached file from recovery just like you would a ROM.

Less than Scientific Data Speed Comparison (Speedtest.net app):

Before: 829kbps/479kbps || 891kbps/607kbps || 1019kbps/554kbps

After: 1691kbps/650kbps || 1239kbps/575kbps || 1148kbps/688kbps

If it matters to anyone, I'm running the 7.28 radio.

Edit: If you're cutting edge and need a services.jar that will work with CM nightly #184, scroll down to invisiblek's post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Just a warning.. I'm running #184 nightly and this caused a bootloop for me.. not too sure why.

I'm sure there's just some differences in the services.jar from 6.1 stable to the nightlies.

:/

If no one beats me to it.. I'll make one after some mahjong :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
i made one, its here: http://www.mediafire.com/?551c8btbtjoj8ec

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmtoman:
Holy cow am I impressed. I was beyond skeptical at first becuase I thought 3G was 3G and the speed just depended on signal. I guess this is not the case!!!! Incredible (sorry pun) improvements after flashing this> I ran eight speedtest.net tests using the app, four before flash and four after flash and the results are:

Before flash:

873 down /// 1025 up

666 down /// 962 up

783 down /// 1029 up

1266 down /// 931 up

don't know why up speeds were faster than down on some, can someone tell me why that is?

After flash:

2031 down /// 934 up

2220 down /// 856 up

1904 down /// 897 up

2201 down /// 938 up

Thank you sooooo much best mod ever

For those of you seeing the speed bumps once applying this, were you all over 5Gigs? If I average around 3 Gigs a month, chances are I'm not throttled and probably won't see any speed charges, right?

I'm not, I just wanted to flash it on anyways lol.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Does this modification cause FCs in Mobile networks settings, or was that just a Sense issue? If it does cause FCs, shouldn't we edit the throttle files to remove the actual throttling code, instead of deleting the files themselves?

Side note: This is probably a great way to get Verizon to crack down on rooting... :p

Edit: Is this the source for these files in CM? If so, it looks easy enough to neuter it to not actually throttle.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mp3sum:
S-Off, f'em.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Well... S-OFF and rooting didn't really have consequences for Verizon's infrastructure until now. If we're able to overload their towers because the tower can't ask phones to slow down, Verizon is definitely going to take notice. And be pissed. And they'll have a good reason.

I wonder how hard it would be to determine if a phone is ignoring the throttle request.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Knightslugger:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] JarrettXavier:
I did see that thread earlier (don't remember where) and checked for FCs in mobile networks and experienced none. :) I too would like to know if there was a way to figure out when our phones are being throttled by the network - I'm guessing it's part of QoS to ensure that Data Card users get the highest bandwidth.

Anything on a D1 solution?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JarrettXavier:
The alternative process from the post linked in the OP (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10100043&postcount=1) should work for all Android phones, including the D1. It's a very easy mod and is essentially risk free as long as you make a nandroid backup before changing the file.

@Jarrett sweet running UD, don't know if that matters. I'll backup & try.

you might be better off asking the D1 forum's devs about this since the devs here would not own the D1 so would be unable to modify it as well as the D1 devs would

[Droid Incredible Android Development] misanthropic777:
FYI, I'm reverting back to unmodded. Here are my results:

BEFORE:

Mean Download 977.6, Standard Deviation 272.2 (range 1436 to 506)

Mean Upload 838.4, Standard Deviation 102.6 (range 950 to 645)

AFTER:

Mean Download 886.6, Standard Deviation 128.8 (range 1157 to 729)

Mean Upload 825.6, Standard Deviation 43.23 (range 881 to 756)

For the non-statistically literate, the speed was faster before, although the standard deviation (average variation from the mean) was higher. If I had the same speed with the mod and a smaller standard deviation that would have been good, but slower never is.

Since these tests were done at 12:45am (before) and 1:15am (after) my guess is that the towers weren't excessively busy as they might be mid-day. So for me, not enough change to make running a mod worth the effort. While less stdev is nice, it doesn't help if the overall is slower.

as usual YMMV

[Droid Incredible Android Development] czerdrill:
hey, the people at droidforums couldn't answer this (not surprising), but I have a question about this mod

some people are reporting that they are seeing double their speeds after applying this and i'm trying to understand how this is possible?

if all the mod does is remove the throttle, how could your speeds possibly double? the only explanation would be that verizon is throttling from the beginning before you reach any data consumption threshold. in other words, we're never really getting 3g service unless we apply this mod?

doesn't seem like that makes sense to me. what it does seem like is that people are applying this mod, and then the placebo effect is telling them that they're getting some amazing speeds and all that.

again, if all this mod does is remove a throttle that is imposed when you reach a certain data threshold, how could your speeds possibly double?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] czerdrill:
i understand that if you were throttled, you'll see an increase of speed when the throttling is off.

my question is, why are people who are not throttled and have not used any appreciable data claiming they get double speeds? how could that be possible?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] overground:
Please, no flaming or bickering. Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] craighwk:
