You wouldn't be able to turn the screen off, because if the screen goes off, the app goes off. But, the brightness thing might work. Even at 0 brightness, your screen will still be on, but wouldn't be bright.

You could try an app called Total Screen Control from the android market. It's $2 but may give you what you are looking for. There is also a free one called Screen Filter.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanncoet:
Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if the Nexus S that will be released in South Korea this March, is a CDMA phone or is it a GSM phone.

I guess it will be CDMA since most of the Korean service providers use the CDMA network.

Secondly, I am thinking of getting the Nexus S, but I would like to take it back to South Africa with me when I finally leave Korea.

South Africa mostly uses GSM and 3G networks. Would I be able to use this phone there if I get it unlocked and get a new SIM card?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
You'd have to find out whether the nexus s released in your country has a GSM or CDMA radio. If it doesn't that respective radio, it won't work even if it's unlocked.

You can probably find this info when it's actually released in your country.
[Xoom General] jeston:
I can't for the life of me get my Xoom to see my 5GHz 802.11n network... I have a Linksys E3000 running dd-wrt with one of the connections doing g/n mixed and the other doing straight up 5GHz n. It works fine when I connect with my laptop. The Xoom will of course see and connect to the g/n mixed network no problem using 2.4GHz n.
[Xoom General] mike41423:
Are you using 40 MHz channel bandwidths?
[Xoom General] jeston:
Yeah, I've tried 40 MHz both upper and lower and 20 Mhz.
[Xoom General] ilogik:
My xoom sees my 2.4 network with full bars, 5ghz at 50% power even though I am in the same room with the access point...
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
do you have any other devices hooked up to the WAP?
[Xoom General] jvs60:
Does the fact that the Xoom's wifi radio is 2.4ghz N make a difference?
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
lol, i soo thought it had 5 GHz. Yeah that is a problem lol.

where is my dunce cap.
[Xoom General] ilogik:
No, this is the only device.
[Xoom General] drhill:
I don't have a xoom, but with my X I had to remove a dash from my SSID. I also swear for 5 minutes my X saw my 5ghz band (my router does both simultaneously), but I guess that could have just been the router broadcasting the wrong SSID for the 2.4ghz.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
FWIW, I have an 802.11a (5GHz) network at home (nice, 'cause my a-capable WiFi devices don't have to compete with the other ~15 visible 802.11g networks in my area) and I was able to connect to that right away. Pretty surprised, actually, but the BCM4329 is an a/b/g/n capable device, after all.
[Xoom General] defiantmofo:
I'm currently on a 5ghz n only network without issue. Netgear wndr3700.
[Xoom General] jeston:
Just wanted to update everyone in case others find this thread looking for help that I may have found my solution. I came across a post on the Motorola forums that mentioned needing to set the channel to one of a handful of channels, notably, one of the following: 36 40 44 48 149 153 157 161. My router is currently set to auto and I have confirmed it is not on a compatible channel at the moment. Unfortunately, I will be unable to test this to confirm it is the problem until I get home in a few days. Will update again then.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Strange, mine is on auto and the Xoom connects up to it fine. Very fast and stable.
[Xoom General] jeston:
Could be that yours just happens to auto select one of those channels.
[Xoom General] emcd4:
Where did you see the specification that Xoom's wifi radio is 2.4Ghz? Especially since some people are connecting to their 5Ghz N routers.

Please see: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/46417?tstart=120
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Most WiFi IS 2.4GHz; what sets the Xoom apart is we have the 5GHz "N" and "A" bands, too.
[Xoom General] jeston:
Update: Well I'll be damned, that's exactly what the problem was. Changed my channel from Auto, which had selected channel 56 which supposedly is not supported, to channel 48 which supposedly is supported and it showed right up and connected no problem.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harvick_29:
Good evening/morning. First I'd like to thank AOSP and everyone else that has contributed to the 2.3.2 Gingerbread ROM. It runs great, haven't had any problems running at 768mhz and I just love it. Thanks for all your hard work!

I do have a question though...is it possible to run Sprint's NASCAR app on this ROM? I don't remember what ROM I used long ago (I think it was a 2.1 Fresh, but not sure), but I remember having to install a sprint core APK along with any of the Sprint Apps I wanted (though I only really wanted the TV and NASCAR).

I've done some searching and a LOT of reading of posts, but haven't seen anything that applies to me.

Can anyone help? If it's possible, where can I get the APK(s)? If it's not, any idea why not? If it's not, can it run on CM6 or would I have to go all the way back to 2.1 (not really worth it to go back that far).

Thanks guys and keep up the great work!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
Even though you are a Harvick fan, I'll help you out. :D

I used root explorer to put the Sprint_NASCAR.apk into /system/app. Then I changed the permissions to RW-R--R--. I then rebooted the phone.

I tested on aospCMod-03012011 and the first time I ran it, it opened and then closed. I then went back into it and everything loaded fine.

It took about a minute on mine, but it works perfectly...plus it still had my settings from when I used to have the app a long time ago (favorite driver, etc)...must be linked to my sprint account or my google account.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It IS Lupus:
Not android related but hoping somebody can help me out. I have an old Toshiba satellite a215 laptop whose power supply cord has finally worn out well we got a replacement from eBay but the battery will not sustain a charge same voltage output of 19v but the newer one has a higher amperage output of 4.74 instead of 3.95 the original had.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Probably need a new battery, especially being an old laptop. They normally really don't last very long, although it depends on usage of course. Was the battery completely discharged for a while until you had a chance to buy the new charger? That could've really degraded the battery performance. OTOH, unless it's not Lithium-Ion (hopefully it's not THAT old), now that you'll be charging and discharging it as normal again, perhaps you will be able to re-condition it to behave better. I wouldn't hold my breath on that, though.

Amperage is PULLED (in 99% of cases), not pushed, so it doesn't hurt if a replacement of anything can supply a higher amperage. The operative word is can. The laptop will only pull as much as it wants to, so the higher amperage rating of this new charger is not an issue.

I suppose more accurately or easier to understand is that amps are normally variable; it's the voltage which is important to be constant. And of course you already mentioned both chargers are the same 19V, so again, the amps are not an issue.

Edit: Another clarification. This is just an educated guess, but I would think that the actual charging circuitry is inside the laptop. The "charger" is actually just a power supply (my fault in wording it as a charger). The laptop charging circuitry determines how many amps the battery gets while charging.

Cheers!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It IS Lupus:
Thank you for the well thought out reply. That does make a lot of sense. And the laptop is only about 2 and a half years old

The charger died only last week, got the replacement late last week and worked fine for a few days then the replacement wouldn't charge. I stole my sisters charger and it works fine so it's not a problem with the battery or the laptop

Edit : could the actual brick be defective?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Absolutely! Was there a warranty on it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
A lot of third party chargers skimp on the Watts. Check the wattage of the two. Most laptops need about 90w to charge correctly. Most dells will power up with a 65w charger but the battery will stay constant.
[General Questions and Answers] ironlood:
Im curious but as an example if I have twitter, plume, tweetcaster, and Seesmic all on my phone, and they all check twitter do they drain battery more then if I just had one twitter app.
[General Questions and Answers] thejamhole:
Do you use the all? Unless your using them all at the same time for some reason it seems unnecessary to have them all running. It's ok if they are all installed and you pick and choose which one you use depending on whatever but its when they all are tying to access resources that you will run into batter issues.
[General Questions and Answers] ironlood:
I use them due to the different layout looks and feels and am trying to figure which one has the best functionality.

I know they all do the same thing, but it wasn't until now that it hit me, they all devour battery everytime they update themselves

I don't know why but I had this assumption that since they all dip into twitter they would kinda share the gathered info
[General Questions and Answers] Michael_robert:
Hi,

It depends on the app which you are installing. If you will install more animation based apps and more images based app then the battery will drain soon.
[General Questions and Answers] thejamhole:
I did that at first too. I guess I was always good about removing the unnecessary apps before battery drainage was a problem. As far as a Twitter app goes I've been using twidroyd pro for quite a while now and I love it. The widget really pulls my home screen together. I switched to seesmic when Twitter banned twidroyd but I didn't like the widget. Is that a weird reason not to use an app?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

关于开机时手机设备的LOGO（moto.bin）更改教程：

01) 首先下载adb.7z，Windows解压到C:\Windows\system32

02) 解压Moto_Defy.zip将moto.bin复制到C:\Windows\system32\adb

03) 将手机调为“USB调试模式”，Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging

04) 在电脑端安装好手机的驱动程序

05) 把手机用数据线连接电脑，USB设置为"none"

06) 在电脑端运行cmd.exe（Windows7需要用到管理员权限）

07) 在cmd输入“cd c:\WINDOWS\system32\adb”切换到adb目录

08) 再输入“adb”运行adb

09) 继续输入“adb devices”查看手机是否正常连接到电脑，检查到手机设备即可进入下一步

10) 输入“adb push moto.bin /data/local/”将adb目录的moto.bin文件复制到手机设备

11) 在手机上用RootExplorer将/data/local/moto.bin的Perrmissions设置为User[read,write,execute]Group[read,write,execute]Others[read,write,execute]

12) 然后在cmd输入“adb shell”进入shell环境

13) 继续在$输入“su”，这时手机会有Superuser的授权请求，请选择Allow

14) 继续在#输入“dd if=/data/local/moto.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p10 bs=4096”

15) 至此，开机时手机设备的LOGO（moto.bin）更改已经完成，Reboot你的手机看看吧！

对于bootanimation.zip的更改应该不用我教了吧，直接复制文件到/system/media/，并将bootanimation.zip的Permissions设置为User[read,write]Group[read]Others[read]便OK了！

尽情enjoy吧！

for changing "moto.bin"

step 1. Extract "adb.7z" to "C:\Windows\system32"

step 2. Extract "Moto_Defy.zip", then copy "moto.bin" to "C:\Windows\system32\adb"

step 3. Trun on "USB debugging" mode

step 4. Install the driver of defy

step 5. Connect defy via a USB wire

step 6. open a command prompt window (run as administrator if you'er using Vista/Win7)

step 7. change directory to "C:\Windows\system32\adb" (type "cd c:\WINDOWS\system32\adb" in cmd window then enter)

step 8. run "adb"

step 9. run "adb devices" and check if your phone connect correctly

step 10. run "adb push moto.bin /data/local/", it will copy "moto.bin" into your phone

step 11. change the permission of "moto.bin" on your phone to "User[read,write,execute]Group[read,write,execute]Others[read,write,execute]" by using RootExplorer

step 12. run "adb shell" on PC. the DOS prompt will change to "$"

step 13. run "su" on PC, and allow the authorization on your phone. the DOS prompt will change to "#"

step 14. run "dd if=/data/local/moto.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p10 bs=4096" on PC

step 15. done, reboot and enjoy it.

for changing "bootanimation.zip"

copy "bootanimation.zip" to "/system/media/", then change the permission to "User[read,write]Group[read]Others[read]"

green words are filenames, blue ones are commands for PC, red ones are permissions of files.

My English is not very well too, just hope can help.

[Atrix 4G General] ElCamino:
I know all Atrix users are having problems with slower data connections than using, say the iPhone 4. So I went ahead and did a quick video of, iPhone 4 and Verizon LG Vortex to show the speed difference. Clearly you can see that the Atrix is very slow in uploading, but overall was pretty close in download speeds with the iPhone 4. I have been averaging around 2.2 Mps down and .31 upload. Overall when using the Atrix phone to look up anything in the Market place or web browsing, and or using a app that requires data, it feels much faster overall. Could be that the Dual-Core is helping in this. My next video will be, comparing on the phone browsing and using data apps to compare.

Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA72kfo856w
[Atrix 4G General] zephxiii:
Ya shouldn't run both ATT phones at the same time.
[Atrix 4G General] compumasta:
Why its a fair real work comparison that way. No one is going to be the only one running a connection at any give time.

Sent from my Delorean using a flux capacitor!
[Atrix 4G General] zephxiii:
If you are interested in testing the device's ultimate speed, you shouldn't be running the test at the same time right next to each other period. That causes channel interference (if on same carrier) which degrades performance, not to mention you are cutting available air interface resources in half in on the same channel/sector. That is not going to tell you jack **** about how the device performs (as far as above average potential) in comparison to another device on the same network...it only really shows how each device handles data in a crappy signal situation....interestingly ATT was better than VZW.

It has been demonstrated that the Atrix lacks HSUPA and will generally not perform as well as iPhone4 (or other HSUPA enabled device) until this problem is resolved.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
I think you misunderstood what he's saying. In the real world, you could be standing next to someone else using an AT&T phone, so that interference isn't unexpected. How the device handles that kind of interference is absolutely relevant information.
[Atrix 4G General] zephxiii:
In the real world, he probably isn't running a speedtest right when you are.

It's still pointless as if you are trying to compare device speeds on the network, you need to give them ideal conditions....otherwise you aren't comparing the devices really. This is obvious because it isn't showing the Atrix's crippled network interface.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
I'm not even sure I understand what you're arguing. Someone next to you is not using a data connection if they're not running a speedtest? Because that's what it sounds like you're saying. The speed of the phone next to you is irrelevant. A phone pulling down 1000Mbps as opposed to 100Mbps won't magically decrease the surrounding signal. In modern devices, channel interference like that isn't really a problem anyway.
[Atrix 4G General] zephxiii:
Based on that statement, it looks like you really don't understand how WCDMA (or CDMA based) networks work. Channel noise, noise floor, neighboring interference etc. plays a huge part in network performance. So yes, even though signal receive strength may be very good, performance can suffer from channel noise...and I see it all the time in cell overlap areas (I live in one even).

And when you have two devices like that operating right next to each other using the same ARFCN, especially if one is in the upload portion of the test, it's going to create additional noise that the other device is going to have to fight through....then throw on top that both devices are fighting for whatever is left of free resources on the site..which is basically cutting whatever is left in half....if they are on the same sector/channel.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
I understand the theory, I've just never seen it affect a device in practice to any noticeable degree. I might get 3.15 down with no other devices nearby, and 3.14 down with several others running at once (GSM and CDMA devices).

Living in an area with several carriers fighting for the airways can impact performance, but again, I've never seen a big enough difference to care. Maybe you've just been in areas with outdated hardware or poor filtering. This is all from personal experience, however, and I live in Chicagoland where there is no shortage of service from any carrier.
