[Desire General] AndroHero:
the original version of the desire was shipped with the samsung amoled screen, after samsumg realised they had an awsome mobile screen they decided to "F" HTC in the "A" and tell them they couldnt produce the amount HTC wanted, so HTC went back to the Sony S-LCD screen :)
[Desire General] erklat:
Or simply look at the box, if it says "3.7 inch AMOLED touch-sensitive screen", you got AMOLED, and if it says "3.7 inch touch-sensitive screen", you got a SLCD.
[Desire General] itachi1706:
That's weird. My box says 3.7 inch touch-sensitive screen. However, when I compared it to the desire HD's slcd display, it shown all traits of AMOLED.(true black etc.) Wonder why is that so?

Copy packages.xml from dbdata/system and paste to data/system.

Ok I did that in root explorer.

Then I rebooted because LP ALWAYS force closes when i turn on my phone, and I can confirm that this does fix it.

the kernel that works best on my miui driven evo is the 1/21 cfs ziggy released here http://www.ziggy471.com/2011/01/21/beta-kernel-21-jan-11/#comments

However it does not contain sbc. somone in another thread said sbc could be implemented on any kernel through using This ms79723's github with the SBC patch:

https://github.com/ms79723/Supersonic-2.6.32

Will any of you brilliant developers implement this patch on the ziggy kernel giving it sbc for me ( and im sure others would appreciate it to). ive attempted to look into doing it myself but it appears this is way over my head..... any help would be greatly appreciated

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schmooo:
can this be done or is it impossible?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
The SBC mod is a change to the kernel's source code. If a kernel developer has their code up on github or has the source code otherwise available, the SBC code can be added to it. Once the code is added, the kernel can be compiled and then installed.

Unfortunately, there is no way to add SBC via a flashable ZIP to an already installed binary kernel.

I have "back tracked" quite a bit from my first goals, and am starting with the basics. The first thing you attempt probably shouldn't be a kernal change.

I am looking for some direction. I would like to learn Java/android and every thing I have found seems to assume that you have previous programming experience. I have been moving along slowly with some video tutorials. I am looking for any one that can give some pointers on the best place to start or and books/videos that are good. The other question is should I start with Java or go straight to Android? I really have no previous programming experience and very little understanding at the moment.
[Vibrant General] gt10011:

sent u some links for learning java hope it helps

sorry can't post links here yet.
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
I am currently learning Java myself. I am reading two books that I have found to be great starting points for someone like myself who has no previous programming experience. Of course there is quite the learning curve, but if you are resourceful and good at problem solving you'll be fine.

I also did some video tutorials before I began reading the books which really helped me get a good idea of the very basics. I really think the video tutorials are a great place to start. By themselves you'd probably never be able to learn java, but they get you familiar with using an IDE and give you a good visual understanding of what your going to be reading in the books, if that makes sense.

Here are some links to the tutorial and books I am reading.

Tutorial:

http://www.javavideotutes.com/

Books:

Head First Java, 2nd Edition

(The price listed here is a great deal. I paid much more for my copy. I would definitely order this now before that deal is gone. Also, if you are only going to get one book to start, this is the one I would suggest.)

Teach Yourself Java

(Also a great price)

Hope this helps you out. Good luck, man.

EDIT: You don't need to do the entire tutorial before you began reading by any means. I think I started off doing the first five or six. I probably did each one at least twice though.

I've noticed ever since going to EXT4... if my phone crashes without being shutdown properly... sometimes I need to restore bits of data from Titanium to get it working correctly...

Tonight I was play a game and the phone reboot without warning (game glitch I assume) anyways.. when android loaded back up.. it had lost my contacts, lost my google account information.. and force close hell.. I'm assuming this is because we have journaling turned off on a EXT4 filesystem.

Any comments?

Update: A complete Titanium Restore brought things back up and running to a usable state... so there was definitely some data corruption..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asj2583:
Shouldn't this be in q&a?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akijikan:
Why would you attribute the corruption to EXT4? That sounds typical of corruption that occurs with any storage medium in any format when there is powerless during writing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
Perhaps.. it is a question, however, it is directly related to development and definitely a development topic therefor I put it in the development section.

I admire the concern for the forums.. but Q&A feel more like "How do I do this" "How do I do that" ..

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddymikey1975:
it is possible that it's because of the 'no journaling' ... difficult to say for certain.

other opinions ?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
The development section is for development. You are not developing anything here. This should have been in general or the q&a

To the subject at hand. What happened to you isnt cause of ext4 but to the no journaling. It is known that not having journaling enabled there could be corruption. Since you phone rebooted on its self it didn't finish it write cycle causing you to loose data. The same effect as if you would battery in mid right. This is way team bonsia and users suggest to set up titanium to do a backup every day when your not using your phone. Just set up a schwdual

Well while we're on this kind of topic

what if my phone reboots randomly then gets stuck in a boot loop until i wipe x3 then reflash it

this problem has happened to me multiple times on roms like

Bonsai,MidNight,Breezy(Was a tester)

Never happened till recently any ideas on what could be causing this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjman:
Yeah, I'm haivng the same issues with it, and I get it regardless of the rom I'm on. I can reproduce it almost 100% of the time, however I can't cause the issue on RFS. Its probably relating to how its implemented, but I can't be sure.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Yes the risk of data loss is greater with journaling turned off but that risk is slight. You only risk loss if you are in the middle of a write or save like when you were playing the game and the phone crashed. My phone never randomly crashes, so the risk is very low for me. Without considering any other factors than speed, you want to turn journaling off. I think, since most folks that flash custom roms want improved speed, devs turn journaling off as part of their roms.

It has been rooted as adviced in one of the threads as market app wasnt available initially. the rooting I think was not successful 100% but the market showed up by the end of the process.

Is there a fix already in circulation, wasnt able to zero in on anything. Thanks in advance

[Nexus S General] marsrogers:
Guys I did some search job today and have a possible final solution to the back button problem.

Luckily this is also in the forum posted by user ID:insaneturbo13

his thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833663

He is a Samsung Captivate user, right. Since I think if nexus s have met with is annoying problem, other samsung phones may either. So I did some search job in bed with my insensitive-back-button Nexus S, and found the Epic 4G, Samsung Focus, Captivate, etc. Almost all samsung phones got users annoyed by the problem.

Then I searched the Youtube to see if there is any Samsung user had ever achieved some success in solving the issue, and I found.(You won't know how terrible it is when you have to use a U.S VPN just to watch Youtube since it is blocked in here China mainland...:confused: really slow speed...together with facebook and twitter...ToT)

My understanding to the cause is: The picture of the back button is a thin line with an arrow, so the inside paint here may over-cover this thin line, which will definitely make the touch action less sensitive. And that's why there are less people got such problem with the other three keys.

And since capacitive buttons actually respond with the obvious temperature difference, so many frustrated nexus s users like me found under warmer environment the problem is less annoying...

Maybe this is only workable for insensitive problem. But hopefully this is a way.

Since I am a Chinese, it's impossible for me to have an exchange with the Bestbuy. So this is my only solution. But for most of you, it's highly recommended to take several exchanges before you definitely want to try this way.

Of course, try this at your own risk
[Nexus S General] bogdi1988:
what i did was tighten up the screws on the back of the phone... especially in the lower part of the phone. I haven't seen the issue since and initially it was a pretty often issue for me.
[Nexus S General] marsrogers:
I think this is also a good way to solve the problem especially when you dont have to take to phone apart~

The theory may be the same, which is to make the distance between your touch and the module inside shorter cuz there is a piece of rubber under the button position so it can be possible~~

Thanks for sharing this way Dude~~~;)
[Nexus S General] droptopmas:
how did you access the screws at the bottom to tighten them?
[Nexus S General] bogdi1988:
Take off the battery cover. You have 6 bright screws around the edges of the phone. Tighten those up.
[Nexus S General] sadkorean34:
Although, I know this is not gonna help, but it comes from personal experience.

In the beginning, I used to be haunted by the silly back button "bizarre".

I factory reset the phone then voila. It's gone.

The reason I am confident to post this is, my brother's phone was fixed in

a same way as well. I know, I can be just lucky, but I just wanted to share.
[Nexus S General] droptopmas:
thanks, I decided to watch the video on how to take apart the phone this morning, didn't do it, but it covered the screw access for the hidden 2 screws.

tightened the screws what little bit I could without fear of breaking something (they were already pretty tight), but it made no noticable difference.

I actually got my phone a few days before they were launched (friend is at&t store manager), so I 've been living with it as long as they have been available. it's annoying, and did get a little better with froyo, but not bad enough for me to tear apart the phone and risk damage to the screen...
[Nexus S General] bogdi1988:
there are no hidden or covered screws and the phone doesn't need to be taken apart.

i've followed some of the advice from previous posts (tightening screws, reset factory settings, updating the OS) but still no luck.

hoping that someone might have discovered a fix (apart from returing the device!) they could share.

thanks!

hi everyone,

After posting the thread above, I updated OS to 2.3.3 and now back button is working fine.... I waited for a couple of weeks before confirming this, so hopefully anyone still waiting on a fix could try what I did. This seems to be a software problem more than anything else...

btw - 2.3.3 noticeably washes out colours, and there's a yellow/green tinge to white space. awful.

[Nexus S General] tchan1:
Back button issue

There are a few longer threads in this forum about the back button issue on the Nexus S -- for some people the back button doesn't work at all, and for others it turns on all by itself. There were a few replies from a Google employee (ryguy) who said it would be fixed in an upcoming OTA update, etc. but some reported having problems AFTER getting 2.3.2 when the problem didn't exist before. There are also other reports of tightening the screws on the back of the phone, which haven't tried but seemed to improve things for people whose back button WASN'T working at all.

For my phone around 2-3 weeks after buying it I had the back button come on all by itself. I fixed it by doing hard resets, as suggested on an earlier thread that deals with this issue (it's like 10 pages long but has the complete story of everyone's experience and fixes with this issue). Anyway, the point is for me after the first hard reset the problem persisted, so I did it a few more times (like maybe 5 times) and now it's gone.

There are some people who tried a hard reset (factory settings restore) and the problem still persists but I think that you have to do as many hard resets as possible (like, over and over and over) until the problem disappears. I'm rooted so I did a Nandroid backup first, then did 5 hard resets through Clockwork Recovery (select the "Wipe User Data" option), and after five hard resets I just flashed by backup and I was back to where I was, minus the back button issue. You don't have to be rooted, of course, to do this, but if you are, doing that ROM Manager backup allows you to quickly reinstall everything to the exact way it was after you're done with the five or 10 hard resets or whatever.

If you're unrooted you can power off the phone, then turn it on while holding the Up Volume button. This boots you into Bootloader mode and you can navigate around to do a factory reset. Or, if you are rooted and have ROM manager, you can use ClockworkMod Recovery like I did (see other threads on how to use these programs).

Anyway, again for me I had to do a bunch of these hard resets to fix the problem, so if it persists after the first two resets, I think you have to keep doing it until it disappears. Hope this helps - TC

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conizius:
Hey there,

I tried to calibrate my battery the last few days...

There where so different descriptions on how to do it right.

But well at some point they all said to charge the phone turned of ( well it automaticaly jumps into recovery, right?).

And it was said charge it till the led goes green.

But I think it never happens in my case.

In one case I fully chagred my phone powered on and then turned it off, plugged it in again. The red/orange led staied there even after 3 hours...

The other day I fully discharged the phone and wanted to charge it in recovery mode. So I plugged it in, the red/orange led began to flash, recovery booted and I went to bed. About 10 hours late I woke and the led was still flashing as before.

I had no patience and turned it on. With the system running it tells me, that its at 100%.

Turning it off again unplug and replug it will show the red/orange led again but not flashing.

Its a european desire z (germany)

With clockwork 2.something

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It seems the question of how to charge the battery pops up at least once a week now, with the same misconceptions. There is no such thing as calibrating the battery. All you are doing is calibrating the battery meter (just a volt meter) on the phone. Li ion batteries cannot (and should not) be calibrated or conditioned. The best way to calibrate the meter is to charge the phone to 100%, drain to about 20%, repeat a couple times. You should not discharge the battery below 20%. I cover it a little more in depth on the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11026655&postcount=7

I don't see any advantage to charging the phone while its off (except that it will charge faster, of course). I always charge mine while its on (with screen off).

I don't know why your green light is not coming on. Mine comes on after the phone has been charging for about 2 hours or less. But I am on the stock ROM, so its possibly something to do with the ROM, so you might have some better response by searching or asking in the Virtuous thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conizius:
Yeah I know that you just calibrate the voltage meter but its just easier to say battery calibration.

Well maye the misconceptions occur because there are plenty of different answers spread and its easy to become confused. I just avereged over these methods and the consensus was to change fully while turned off.

The only way I could think of loading in recovery is better, is that the software prevents loading when it thinks battery is full (but in fact it is not), but I relly dont know.

And you say even after deleting battery stats there is no need for discharging till shutdown (to show the limits or anything)? To reset on full battery is enought?

Thanks,
