[Atrix 4G General] Atrix Root:
reasons

Yes, there is a slant on a majority of the sensors. But no, it's not broken, and it's not a problem. and yes, it's there for a reason.

Most of us are right-handed, a majority certainly. Right-handed people usually hold their phones in their left hands. The pointer finger of the right hand selects the on-screen elements, and the left hand is used as the base to hold the phone steady. The pointer finger of the LEFT hand can stretch up to the top center of the phone and touch the fingerprint sensor/power button, using it for security and on/off. If you change the screen lock to fingerprint, and as you're setting up your fingerprint, you get to the 'Left Hand Fingeprint' screen, then you can see in the animation how a person who holds the phone in his left hand would use the sensor with his left index finger.

Now go ahead and try that, if you're right handed and you've got a phone with a slight slant. See how natural it feels, and how it seems to be a good 'fit' for a right handed person to hold the phone with the left hand and use the fingerprint sensor in that fashion? If you have a perfectly flat sensor, you might notice that it's less 'natural', and maybe more 'mechanical'.

The phone allows 2 fingers to be registered, and it expects the index fingers of the right and left hands to be used. When a right handed person uses his right index finger on the fingerprint sensor, they'll generally still be holding the phone in their left hand, and they'll go over the top of the phone with the right hand to swipe from the bottom of the sensor to the top. Strangely enough, this isn't shown in the right hand animations, which simply take the mirror opposite if the left hand animation.

In either case, for a right handed person, the phone is held in the left hand. That's important, because it sets up a specific angle that both of your fingers are going to come in to contact with the fingerprint sensor. The left index finger will be pointing up at about a 15-20 degree angle, or your right index finger will be pointing down at the reciprocal angle. The slight slant that you can see and maybe even feel is there to provide even pressure as the finger passes over the sensor at that angle. Some sensors that appear flat will actually feel slightly slanted because of this. It's all about providing adequate and even pressure for a right-handed person using the fingerprint sensor.

That doesn't mean that lefties are left out in the cold.. But they're not provided for quite as nicely. The best a lefty can do now is to find one of these fewer 'flat' sensors, but there is a better option. If you call the fingerprint sensor company, you can ask for a left-handed version of that sensor, and they will be able to provide it for you. I'm not sure what the cost would be, and they'll need physical access to your phone to install it for you, but I've seen left handed sensors get installed on other phones in a few hours. The wait time is usually because of the large backlog of work..

[Atrix 4G General] LastQuark:
I think we are overanalyzing this issue. I am left handed and I do not have a slanted button. Just perfect.
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
My originally phone, which randomly died, and my refurb which sucks are both slanted buttons.
[Atrix 4G General] dcarpenter85:
Your Atrix is broken, return it.
[Atrix 4G General] diedemus:
Wrong slant there buddy, they are talking about the sensor being tilted in the housing, not the button being slanted in relation to the body.
[Atrix 4G General] CyberPunk7t9:
I have 2 Atrix phones at my desk now. Both fingerprint scanners are straight.

I thought they'd be slanted before I just checked now because I remember reading in the one of the early reviews of the Atrix that the fingerprint is actually slanted a bit! Now I'm thinking maybe they meant it's slanted at backward/downward angle.

Special Thanks to charlieb620, thermanlee and jlbmgrnr for great bootanimation!

Please check the thread before asking questions.

Please press THANKS button if you feel it is useful and it can make me happy!

NOTE:

bootanimation.zip and RECOVERY_bootanimation.zip is version 1
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] daddyspud:
Melvin it's. In system / media. Buddy not data / local
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Sorry, I edited my typo =D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Marshall07:
Really cool! Gonna try it :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] jinzo37:
i can not install -.-
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] WillKennerley:
Awesome, I have never seen this bootscreen before! I will give this a try.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] chubby65:
I can't seem to install it either
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
If you guys give more specific details as to what error / problem you are facing, it will be better I believe to try and help you sort it.

Just letting you know.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] WillKennerley:
It installed fine for me.

Make sure to delete/rename/move your original boot animation from the directory (mine was data/local/bootanimation.zip) before copying the new one. Also be sure to check that your ROM uses the bootanimation.zip format for the boot animation. I'm not sure if all do.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] jinzo37:
So I copy the new boot file file in my folder / system / media DA I copy the new zip in, and before deleting the old file bootanimation.zip.

then in recovery mode install, it does not work anyway ...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
What are you trying to install in Recovery? It is not a flashable ZIP. Simply place in /system/media for CM and /data/local for other ROM's using a compatible File Manager (like Root Explorer).

And, if that doesnt work (It didnt for me, always got "Out of Memory" Errors), use ADB.

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

or

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

as per your ROM
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] jinzo37:
I use CM7 rc2 and have them in the media folder but it does not work ...

and what file for ADB: C?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Guys, did you read clearly??

Put it in data/local.. don't delete old one in media... use root explorer to paste it...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
if you guys want i'll make a flashable zip for system/media, system/customize/resource and /data/local.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
sorry. I did it... lol.. i didnt saw your post.. i was like wake up, on9 my xda apps... then switch on computer.. and make zip...

GUYS UPDATED! ENJOY!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] chubby65:
thanks guys got it working it's brilliant
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Don't forget to show it to apple user..
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] chubby65:
will show as many as i can lol:D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
They stare at me when they see apple first... then android...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] chubby65:
bet it raises a few laughs my brother in law will like it as he has the iphone he might have the better phone but we have the better os:D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] RichFL:
Hi.

Would you be able to post directions on how to flash the RECOVERY_BOOTANIMATION.ZIP when in recovery mode on the device? I attempted to do so, but it kept saying it couldnt find the file. Am I supposed to be copying this file into the root of the SD card?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Put the recovery in phone sd. Restart to recovery, choose install zip to sd. THen search for the recovery zip that you saved. Press ok and it will flash. Restart and you will have the animation working.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] rockermc:
kindly make a flashable zip for new recovery cant flash this one. thanks!:)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
here, let me know if this works, and thank me if you can. :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] rockermc:
thanks kevin its working man. great!!!!:cool:
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Thanks for helping bro!

If you don't mind, could you update the OP to give credit to thermanlee and me? We originally posted this in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976869 and it would be nice if some of the helpful people posting in these threads could help us resolve a few of the issues we have had with getting this to work on other phones.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Sorry there, I don't quite understand. You meant you want me to add in your work in this thread right? (If I'm not mistaken)

Waiting for reply.

THanks
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] thermanlee:
Yes. Jlbmgrnr and I created the original version of this boot animation (we came up with the idea, I drew/animated it, and he packaged it). I posted it originally in the vibrant forum, then in the main android apps forum, where it was found by charlieb and posted in the nexus s forum without credit.

We only wish to be credited as Created By us instead of him or anyone else. Thanks!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
No problem! I'll add it in. Thanks for telling me. Can I add in your new version to here?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] thermanlee:
You're welcome to add anything of ours you want to anything you want! We just like being notified when someone is posting our stuff, especially a thing that's been downloaded soooooo many times (original version apparently has over 4000 from the nexus s thread). We had no idea it was that popular. Just sucks knowing that many people think someone else made it.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
Yea, personally I love it... simple and good enough.. how about making a 3D one? I think it is much more cooler.

[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Every time i open my market it force closes, but behind the message it runs fine. The only thing i can do is click the message away and my market closes. I have the same with the xda preamium app if I want to write a topic. I tried a several things: i deleted a view apps so I got more space, I unrooted my phone, I rebooted it a view times but nothing changes...

Help

I can't get in the market...
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
It doesn't even work from the webversion... Help!
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Fixed it!

I cleared the cache and all the updates.

I opened it and then I got the old version, but the next time I started it I got the new version again!
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
But several other apps force close again... How to fix?
[Galaxy 3 General] osbozzy:
What firmware are u on ?

Try Hard Reset ... Everything might work well then ...

If not , flash some other firmware ..
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I use the stock eclair firmware. Maby it'll fix when I update it to froyo.
[Galaxy 3 General] osbozzy:
May be a hard reset can solve u're problem ... Try tht first ..
[Wildfire General] Maxcima:
Hi all. I have a htc wildfire, rooted with a custom rom. On the bus today I turned my phone off and then back on but it is constantly reboots after the initial screen (telstra logo because I am from Australia).

I can get into HBOOT but not recovery anymore (I used to be able too), it just repeats the same loop process. I've tried with/without the SD card present, and clearing storage through HBOOT.

Is there another way to flash or fix this? I'm fairly new at posting so sorry if this is in the wrong section, it's a tad urgent.

Thanks
[Wildfire General] Michealtbh:
Try flashing clockworkmod recovery again using unrevoked
[Wildfire General] Maxcima:
Woudn't I have to have the phone on to be able to flash with unrevoked again?

If not, how would I go about doing it?

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] ivyvisors:
Hi Maxcima,

Are you able to see anything via adb at all?

for example if you can connect to the device via adb, if you run:

adb logcat

can you see anything that could give us a clue to what's causing your issue?

~
[Wildfire General] Maxcima:
I'm sorry, I'm very new at this. What is adb exactly?
[Wildfire General] Maxcima:
Just done a quick search and am now setting up adb. I'll get back to you shortly.

Thanks!
[Wildfire General] Maxcima:
I have setup adb and it is all working. However since I cannot boot into my device (constantly loops), adb continues to say "waiting for device..."

Is there a way to flash clockwork mod recovery some other way? Or to flash the device in the HBOOT environment?

I use Perfect Task Switcher which is looks very good. Just like S^3 task switcher with thumbnails. And its free in Android market.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] sarfaraz1989:
do any one of the above open up by say touching a particular section on the screen...CLUTCHPAD provides a small transparent notch on the screen..Click it and a small windows pops open...check the enclosed screenshot..its really handy gives your phone an alt+tab feel without pressing any hard buttons !!
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] ttschizo:
im using prehome, its fast and simple, free from market
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] srafx:
There is, if you hold home. I personally did not like this because whatever ROM I always used... it never was fast enough. I ended up creating ClutchPad... which I just happened to create a video that shows off lots of its features. Not saying its for everyone... but it may be what your looking for :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasparzim:
Use the "mount USB storage" in the CWM "mounts and storage" menu.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Why can't you move the file over? To use fastboot you need to be hooked to a computer anyways.

You could download rom file to your sdcard straight from the phone.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
You can only flash img files via fastboot. I don't know if CM is released that way at all.

Is your phone even functional? I mean, you can boot to a regular rom, correct?

Hello fellow xda menbers.

i have the strangest problem i have updated my firmware to the latest and before that i have made a backup of my contacts with sonyericcson backup en lookout

i have tried to restore my contacts with lookout and it say that i have my contacts again..

but now comes the strange part.

When i open my contacts there is nothing showingit says 0 contacts.. but when someone calls me i see there name and contact info on my phone :S

so its there i have tried it again with the latest sonyericson restore software m.sonyericcson.com/backup

but that wont install....

so i have no idee what i have to do to see my contacts again :S

pleae help me and thnxs in advance ;)

sorry for my bad spelleing ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhankar.ds:
I'm not confirm but you can try to delete the system data of of contatc appliaction by Titenium backup & restore your contact backup again.

or find contact data folder undet data/data folder. delete the same & restore the contact backup....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderpossuem:
It might seem obvious, but have you checked which contacts you have checked to display in the view menu?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
That's what I was thinking - I think you can view "phone" or "google".. which have you selected?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Also, your phonebook has it's own backup for contacts on the sd card. When you open phonebook hit menu button and import from sd card. Make sure you check the box that you display phone contacts. However, I believe this is contingent upon you having backed them up the same way. When I use Titaniun Backup I run into the same problem you did, so I always use this procedure.

Are you synced with Facebook? When someone calls me who isn't in my phonebook, but is my friend their name and picture comes up...

...and my solution wasn't awesome but the phonebook runs ten times better...

I am synced to Gmail, and I edited my entire book and reduced / merged 2500 contacts into 350.

sent using mind control...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
Dont know how to make those contacts visible again but next time use MyBackup Root instead of sync. You might even want to try using it to backup all your contacts, even though you cant see them, and then restore the backup. If theyre there but not visible that might work. Its kind of a shot in the dark but might be worth a shot.

If you havent tried it yet, reboot the phone and see if that works.

Hey guys!

Sorry for the endless posts. I just flashed superclean 2.9 for froyo and now I have no 3G connection, only wifi. When I pull down the notification bar, it shows Mobile Data is on, but...it's not.

Is there any solution for this issue? I have tried *228 and 2 several times; at first time, it worked for a while, but it disappeared soon.

Just for sure, My original modem was EA28, so I have flashed DL09 when I flash SC, and now I flashed DJ05. Everything works perfect, but still no 3G connection. I'm so frustrated :-( If I go to Verizon guys, then they must be like it's my responsibility. What am I suppose to do?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneakysolidbake:
Others experiencing the same issue have found that activating another phone and then re-activating their fascinate helped restore a data connection. You can try that or if you decide to take it in to verizon just make sure you flash back to a stock unrooted rom and they shouldn't have a problem with.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.M.M.L:

You need the DL09 Modem for SC 2.9. My 3G works fine though, even worked without the DL09 modem, messaging wouldn't work right without the DL09 though. At least that's all I noticed not working properly.

Did you clear data and cache and such before flashing to the SC? Have you tried it again? Still running the stock kernel?
