Thanks appreciate it

[HD2 General] thegios:
All of a sudden my proximity sensor started working weirdly: at random, during a phone call, it either works perfectly, or it turns off the screen when close to ear but then it does not turn it on when far from ear, or even worst it keeps the screen on even if close to ear.

Any idea?

thanks
[HD2 General] FerretAD:
Which OS ?

of course I forgot to mention... sorry...

WM6.5 STOCK ROMA ITA 1.66 with CHT 1.8.5
[HD2 General] thegios:
HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP :-((((((((((

This is driving me crazy...

I did a hard reset a few days ago cos of insane battery drain and now this problem is resolved but this new one came out...

It really behaves at random... u make a call and it works, u make another call and it doesn't, u make a third call and it works partially...
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
If you have done a hard reset and it still does it then its terminal hardware failure.

Try the hard reset method 1st and see if that fixes it.

Good luck..
[HD2 General] thegios:
actually...

... with original rom 1.44 this was working

... after upgrade to original rom 1.66 this was still working

... after hard reset still on original rom 1.66 this has stopped working

so no, I don't think it's an hardware problem.
[HD2 General] thegios:
I tried the pocket shield demo adn with its dialer the proximity sensor is working, so it must be a setting.... pls help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zentenk:
Hey guys, I'm a noob at all this savvy hacking stuff.

A few months ago I installed a ROM (I don't even remember which one) and lagfix, with things like supermod and stuff.

However the phone switches off automatically very frequently when charging (usually after the charging is complete).

I want to flash the stock firmware or flash to a more stable firmware, and unrooting in the process as well.

I looked around the forums and don't even know where to start.

It would be great if someone can provide me instructions or some links to get me started! thanks!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
What are you talking about? Thats very vague post how can we help you if you don't say which rom and what kernel you use. I used IG with gorilla, grankin kernel with screen off set to idle in 245mhz with no lag, ATM have same setting with CM7 tested it on default, dumfuq, faux's kernel with no lag. What happens in your end?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragone5:
I experienced a lag on stock kernel using ondemand scaling min 245hz. I flashed faux kernel and now its really smooth using smartass min 245hz.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2low2rl:
sorry about that. im not running any kernals. im just rooted adn running set cpu had screen off set to 368 but bumped it to 7 something thinging that would help but it hasnt really. it seems to be lag on the home screen mostly liek when i unlock or go back to home the clock widget is showing the wrong time for about 5-10 seconds. i would really like some help here i reallyl just want my phone to work...........well like it shoudl i guess. thanks in advance a ton guys.

if possible can you link me to any kernals or other suggested downloads you might have.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragone5:
Faux's kernel should help w that. It is really smooth and version .7.9.2 is really stable. Here is the link.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2low2rl:
thanks for the help man. i actually just tried cm7 and am loving it so far. but if i decide to do this do i go back to stock and then flash from zip or do i wipe everything first?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
IDK why you want to go back to stock when we have Ice Glacier. But if you do decide to go back you can do it from nandroid backup (if you made it) if not go to Dev section you can find nandroid backup posted there or you can via PD15IMG (will revert back to deafult rom/radio, s-on unroot). For last question you always wipe and then flash.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2low2rl:
i ran iced glacier and it was cool for like 6 hours and then started crashing as soon as it booted so i ditched it. but im loving cm7.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Not an Apple fan boy whatsoever but most probably buying one, looks good ill give them props...best part is...........tether from my Evo so I can by WiFi version whoo hoo lol
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
You can do all that with a Motorola Xoom, which seems to be a better tablet than the iPad 2. Especially since it's Android based. But, still, enjoy your iPad 2, at least until eleven months later when the iPad 3 comes out.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
And much less censorship and lock down than apple
[EVO 4G General] CruzECO13:
uhmmmm $499 wifi version ipad2 on march 11 or a rumored $800+ wifi version xoom releasing in april?
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Yes but its cheaper and I believe its faster I understand its not Android trust me guys, its Android till I die but you got to admit they made a good tablet here
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
First off, the word RUMORED is pretty important in this sentence. Second, the Wifi Xoom isn't going to be the $800 one.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Exactly there both excellent no flame here but I also do not like Motorola...just as much as Apple
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
This times like 10000000000 android fanboys lol
[EVO 4G General] bronxknight28:
yea i think motorola needs to compete with the iPad2 pricing, i would get a ipad2 if i didnt have a ipod, nonetheless it looks good, starting to slowly look like a mac,lol you see all those apps from the mac they are adding
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
I'm an Android fanboy fighting iPhones everyday don't get me wrong just saying I like this product...that's all lol
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I owned an iPad. In fact it was my first Apple device. Apple can't be beat on build, fit and finish. The iOs while limited compared to Android for the most part just works. That being said once I got my EVO I found that I used my evo for mostly everything and sold the ipad a month after getting the Evo.

I think apple made some great moves hardware wise with the iPad2, but lack of flash kills it for me, not to mention the way my google accounts integrate with Android vs iOS. Today's announcement makes me happy cuz I believe it'll kick some Android tablet manufacturers in the rear end to rethink their tablet pricing.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Yeahbro looks pretty good
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Well, just make sure you give Apple your $40 for the special dongle if you want HDMI out to your TV. Also, you should really have put this in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740086 since it's not really Evo related.

Plus, considering the Xoom is really the first hardcore Android tablet to come out, the prices will drop when more competition comes out.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Hopefully lol I want HTC to make one but here's my thing,I always thought the first iPad was a flop and I never understood why it sold, idk I felt it had poor hardware for the time being
[EVO 4G General] bronxknight28:
totally agree with that statement, if the Xoom was made by HTC it would be a different story.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
all depends on the pricing of the xoom. I think Honeycomb will blow apple away.... but we have to wait and see what apple comes out with ...
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Well I'm a hardcore Evo user so u thought is share, its related bc I'm tethering off of the Evo :)...I'm sure some Asian will figure out n hdmi cable for 9.99
[EVO 4G General] Akulamenuri:
I'm probably going to get one as well. I'm haven't been a fan of the Macs because I feel they are overpriced or the iPhone because it was exclusive to a carrier that is horrible in my area but they make a damn good tablet. Also I can't think of another tech company that retains more value on a product than Apple. Buy the iPad 2 now and by the time the iPad 3 rolls out you can still get nearly 80-85% back if you want to sell it.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
They took a crap all over the android and rim tablets with that presentation lol... and motorola was fooling themselves to think they were going to be any competition to Apple whatsoever with where they priced the xoom. And correct me if im wrong, but isnt the xoom shipping without flash too? And honestly, the latest update of skyfire for IOS plays damn near everything that android does. I have it on my iTouch and it works very well.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Took the words out of your mouth huh lol
[EVO 4G General] blakjak220:
I like Android... but I'm a gadget guy... and the iPad 2 is a pretty cool gadget. Not saying I'm gonna buy one at this point but I sure can't fault anyone for snatching one up... looks pretty cool
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Moral of the story...Android always > Apple...now iPad 2 is a different ball game, I wish honeycomb could be on the iPad 2 but that's a dreamland, ill take what I can
[EVO 4G General] CruzECO13:
Im an Android fanboy all the way till my grave. Jaja. I have never owned an apple product nor will I in my life. I was just stating that it is very cheap and right around the corner compared to the xoom which has yet to announce a price and release date for the wifi version. LOL. Some of you need to relax. LOL. ANDROID FOR LIFE!!!

Motorola prices WiFi-only Xoom at £500 in the UK Thats about $800*
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
Ipad is cool I'm not going to lie but I just can't see spending that kind of money on a device I pretty much would just use to brows the internet and play some games. No thanks apple I will just buy a netbook if I really wanted

[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
True.. hell if you look at the price of the iphone 3GS on craigslist they're still selling for $300+ easily.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
LOL, I know man, I feel ya. I'm just having some fun up in here. I make it a point to be there anytime someone posts something that's not an Evo question/comment in the Evo forums. It relieves the boredom at work. :p

Oh, and I thought we were talking stateside prices. Stuff like that is always overpriced in the UK.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
All I can say is motorola better go back to the drawing board with those prices if they actually plan to be competitive.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
They'll have to once Asus, HTC, Acer, etc come out with theirs.
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
It's apparent that the people saying the Wifi Xoom will be 800 dollars have no idea how raped Europe gets price wise...

When technology is priced in Europe it typically has the same number value as American dollars, the funny things is that just because 500=500 doesn't mean that the Europeans are paying the same price.

Europeans will be paying around $800 dollars for the devices and in all likelihood we will be paying $600 (although agressive pricing would put it at 500 but that's not going to happen for the wifi version).
[EVO 4G General] CruzECO13:
LOL. All I know is there is no Verizon in Puerto Rico so I need me a Wifi-only XOOM.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I don't get the appeal of "phone" OS tablets - Android, iOS, WebOS, etc. - it doesn't matter. If I can't put up a good IDE/code editor or CS5, it's useless to me. It's just a phone with jumbo sized mini apps. People are laughing off Microsoft but I can tell that come 2012, I'll be first in line to buy a Windows 8 tablet. Watch it be both a super touch friendly version of full on Windows (office, Adobe CS, etc) with a secondary WP7-like shell for mini apps.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Referencing the chart above, one of the main reasons I don't like the iPad is its resolution. 1024x768 is a 4:3 resolution, whereas 1280x800 is 16:10. 16:10 widescreen is much better for watching movies and things of the sort. Plus, the lack of expandable storage on the iPad is distasteful.

Android 3.0 was built specifically for tablets, so it's much more than a scaled-up phone OS. Also, more developers are releasing tablet specific versions of their apps, so it's a win-win.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
I hear ya and a usb port would be nice too
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
But if they gave you a USB port, then they couldn't charge you $20 for a special dongle or something! :p

So I'm guessing you'll still have to sync this thing with iTunes to update the software? Why can't they just put in OTA updates like everyone else?
[EVO 4G General] dianneeraser:
The other tablets cost more because....well, you can actually use them for stuff. If I were some kind of business professional or doctor then maybe the Ipad 2 would be useful. Hotspot feature only for Apple products - lame! Facetime over calling - Apple caught up to android! HDMI mirroring - Apple catching up again! Dual core - catching up again! No USB? REALLY?? Seemed like an incremental upgrade with Apple's trademark outstanding marketing team working it's magic again!
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I agree with you on everything except the resolution point. The 4:3 actually makes a lot of sense for more things you'd use the tablet for, unless your main use is video. I found it a good aspect ratio for reading books, surfing pages in portrait mode, which is the best way to hold it one handed.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I think the one thing a lot of tech sites don't take into account when saying how the iPad is cheaper is the fact that Apple probably counts on making revenue on their app store to help subsidize their own pricing slightly. As far as I know android manufacturers don't get a cut of app sales on the app store. Also Apple has another big advantage in which they sell the product to you directly and cut out the middle man. Yes they sell through best buy and verizon and att, but that's not where the bulk of their sales come from, it's from the Apple store, so they get to make the retail cut on you as well as the wholesale cut.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Haven't read anything special about this tablet. The 64gb version is also $800+

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
or everyone can just wait 4-5 months and get a quad core tablet...
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
Just to throw my thoughts in on this. Retailers don't make money on selling apple ipads and what not. I work for a large retailer and the cost and retail prices only vary by a few dollars. Apple is strict on their pricing that's why ipods and what not are pretty much the same price in all stores. Retailers don't make money and if they put it on sale they are actually losing money. The only reason retailers sell these items is 1. It brings customers into the store and 2. the accessories are marked up very high so that's where they make their money

Hope that makes sense

It's a slim IPad. I don't see much difference. Still iOS!!!! I thought for sure Apple would have went with honeycomb!!!! Fools
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
I guess I've just gotten so used to the 16:10 on my desktop monitor that it's so hard to go back to non-widescreen.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I dont think you can call it "Apple catching up" when they released their initial version LAST year and pretty much cornered the tablet market. And their new version is going to be releasing before quite a few of the FIRST versions of other tablets including the xoom.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Why would they? At the end of the year they'll likely have outsold all of these other tablets put together. When you're a business money talks.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
Apple can price their hardware lower because the enormous quantities they buy from suppliers gets them big discounts, and they are guranteed to sell millions.

Xoom on the other hand is probably barely breaking even (even though they have close to zero software costs).

Fact is most people will buy the iPad2, whether or not its a good device. For someone like me who wants a functional expandable tablet at a price I can afford, it just doesn't exist. And even if I do buy one, devices in 6 months will completely outclass it. And Android has a very very poor track record at maintaining backwards compatibility - essentially any Android device can be released and abandoned with no software updates.
[EVO 4G General] davpel:
I'll throw my two cents into this conversation. I was a die-hard iPhone user until I switched to the Evo. I made the switch for many reasons, but am now very happy with my decision and likely will stay with Android for my phone OS.

Also was an iPad owner since day 1. Sold my iPad a little while ago in anticipation of the Xoom launch and the iPad 2 announcement. Picked up a Nook Color to get me by until I decided which direction to go in. Rooted the Nook and ran Eclair, Froyo and Honeycomb on it for a few weeks. Also played around with a Xoom.

Result: returned Nook, Xoom off the table and will be purchasing the iPad 2 on launch day. Reasoning: while Android has caught up with, and in many cases, surpassed IOS for the most part, Google is still well behind in creating a decent tablet OS. Froyo and Eclair were never intended to be used on a tablet and that fact is quickly evident upon playing with the Nook for any extended period of time. And Honeycomb? Well, it's really a mess right now. Is about 1/4 of where it needs to be to make for a useful, enjoyable product. And I'm not just basing that on the Nook (which, after all, is running a barebones early HC build), but also on my experience with the Xoom. Hell, take a look over at the Motorola forums for Xoom and the prevailing view of early adopters is overwhelmingly negative.

The biggest issue with Android on a tablet is apps. As an experienced users of both operating systems, I am secure in my belief that the quality of applications available on IOS is still far superior to Android. But on a small screen and for the more limited use case of a phone, the difference isn't critical. When you blow everything up to tablet size, Android apps look, for the most part, amateurish compared to their IOS counterparts. This is especially true with respect to games. The iPad really shines in that department in terms of quantity, graphics and general playability. Android still has a huge amount of catching up to do in this category.

I've been going through withdrawals without my iPad these last few weeks, and using the Nook during this period only emphasized how great of a tablet experience Apple offers. For now, the choice is easy.
[EVO 4G General] dadoc04:
agreed!!!

I have an evo and wanted to get the xoom.... but Motorola, No netflix, and no air video server just wont cut it for me
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
This is the truth.

Android in certain ways is more flexible. But of those ways, which are critical? I can't really think of any but Flash support. On the EVO I simply turn it off and use flash for only short videos. Anything longer and it kills the battery and/or I'm not confident in having Flash shoot CPU usage at 100% for a lengthy period of time. The Tegra 2 with HW accelerated support for Flash is what I've been waiting for though.. But that said, what else can Android do that really makes it a MUST have over iOS?

Where iOS really shines is in the quality of apps, not only with third party apps but also with the first party stock apps. Just look at the hands on videos of the iPad 2, pay attention to the quality of the apps, very rarely will you see that level of quality on Android. A lot of the time, apps are just black screens with confusing and misaligned text boxes and buttons. The attention to detail in both UX design and graphic design just doesn't exist in Android. Very rarely will Apple ever accept an app with very, very awful user experiences but in Android they make up the bulk of the market.

I personally refuse to buy a 10" phone, no matter how smartly they scaled the phone OS up, but if I had to buy one, it'd have to be the iPad 2 at this point. There's really no point in getting a Honeycomb tablet if the quality of apps continue to be the same quality as the phone apps.

See the thing I love about my community is we can name our faults and compliment our competitors and rivals on there good deeds. On the other hand an iPhone user for some reason will not admit the Evo is a better phone, it just doesn't make sense, oh well, glad to see people in agreement with me can't wait for it :)
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
That's just the hipsters for ya =P

I can definitely agree with iOS being more of a stable OS because it's been one thing from the beginning, but that's exactly what I love about Android. Even after the manufacturer stops supporting the device, the community still does. =)

Alright guys...I have an evo, it's rooted and running cm7...had to preface what I'm about to say with that so you know I'm not a typical phanboy. Anyway, I have the current iPad and love it, however I was chomping at the bit when the xoom was announced, so I went out Monday night and bought it without contract. Figured I would give the iPad to the wife and I would use the xoom. Well, I have to sadly admit that the xoom is now back in the possession of verizon. I kept it an entire night and returned the next day. It is unbelievably stuttery considering its processor...pages render in mobile mode within the browser which is annoying as ****, the sound is subpar...it just felt like a beta tablet unfortunately. I really really was disappointed, as I love Android...but the xoom is just not anywhere near where the original iPad is right now as far as pure smoothness. Specs-wise the xoom dominates the iPad, but real world I can tell you that it simply doesn't...and that truly stumps me.

Going to wait for e hp touchpad...I think that's going to be a beast.
