Hi, I am sorry if this has been posted before else where on XDA but i cant find anything on the development thread.
Is it possible for someone to make a G-Sensor calibration app that works globally for all apps on the phone?
I have the problem where if you say, use the layar app, the horizon is not level and driving games always go to the left for example.
I have rooted my phone now so cant send back for warranty. Surley a global calibration app for rooted users would be quite simple lol? not that i am a developer haha.. i have no idea, but surley its just a case of adding a number to part of the code for the g-sensor driver heh heh
Hope someone can help!
p.s Who else has this issue?
P.s. I just read on this this thread that Modaco's alpha 14 ROM contains g-sensor calibration in 'settings, sound and display and @ the bottom G sensor calibration'??
Is is possible for someone to get the bits requred to enable this on any rom that we can just flash an update.zip to get working?
sorry for putting this post in the development forum, i saw some other requests and assumed that was the place for it
so, Bump, any devs have any idea if its possible?
Bump
Calling all devs! :O) Does anyone know if its possible?
not one single person has anything to say about this? sigh...
bump from me too...
lastes cyan has issues after laying on a table.
It won't go to portrait mode.
i'll see if i can find a way to pull that little tidbit from their code. i found this while trying to find a way to unscrew my compass. i thought there was a way to calibrate it.
does anyone know where the g sensor or compass physicly is in the phone? i'm guessing in the gps box, but i dont know. in the early days of my G1, it sailed across the room a plenty due to the lightsaber/sword/fishing/gun apps. some call it Wii syndrome. i may have broken the damned thing.

Woah, I thought I was the only one with this problem.
Setting the phone on a table pretty much guarantees it going into landscape and I have to tilt it back up and forward to get it back into portrait before laying it down again.
8So everyone begged for it and here it is, a beggining to end revamp of the ffc mod thread.

(note im doing this from my phone, so please let ne know of any typos, broken links, or missed topics)
This will be in Q&A form, so lets get started.
1) Where do I get an FFC?
Globaldirectparts.com sells them in bulk, shipping is slow, so now your best bet is ebay.
2) How do I install it?
Start here:

Then here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8436475&postcount=375
Video removed...
3) I got it installed, but how do I use it?
Most custom roms include support for the ffc. If yours does not there is a flashable zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11172683&postcount=1482
4) My FFC is blurry... wtf?
You need to focus it, there is a small ring on the FFC, play with it until you find the sweetspot for you.
5) There are red lines in low light, is there a fix?
Currently no, there has been signifigant progress on lowering the amount, but its not perfect yet. Be patient its coming.
6) How do I videochat?
First you need an app called sgstools, get it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b
Next go into the .prop editor and select build.prop. Press menu, and then unblock. Now for every field that reads "SGH-T959" change it to "GT-I9000". Hit menu then save, now reboot. You can now go to tye market and download apps such as fring and Tango!
7) In the chat app, my image is rotated 90degrees.
Its an app problem. Ask the person you are chatting with if they see you sideways, if they say yes, uninstall the app and try changing your build.prop to SPH-D700.
8)What if I have more questions?
Ask them here, I vow to keep this thread flame free. (although there will be sarcasm)
9)What is SGStools?
Its a program used to install the i9000 cam, change build.prop, anf even access hidden features of your phone such as gps test and network status. You can find the latest version here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xtw16417su40j7b
Thanks to Sirrial, Kellylewis, Scrizz, Master, Eugene, hell everybody, we've been working on this for 4 mos. and we are the reason the Vibrant 4g exsits.
Update: There is an update to sgstools. After you install, reboot then open your market. When you look at your apps list you will see an update, dont click it you'll get an error. Instead, long press it and select update.
(I didnt do this to step on toes. There was a huge demand for this. If you want faster production I highly advise on donating to Kellylewis, he is trying to juglle this project along with life and service to.his country, correct me if i'm wrong there. Also I purposefully left out the test kernals posted before because they aren't a full fix and have produced errors with kb1 roms)

Thanks for the new thread it really helps outs. I'm just waiting until the V4G comes out to pull the trigger on the ffc.
Fear the beard...
Alright, clean slate.
We need to search the old threads for the updates or latest 'news' of what has happened to this.
I'll take my part in searching certain post by KellyLewis on what progress he's done to this, along with other users.
Also, OP, we need an extra space for all the post that has attachments, you know how it is, everybody will start asking "where can i find that one attachment that fixes...etc." on this thread. We don't need that such.
I believe Siiral had a one stop shop for the attachments, and i think we can just link that up for that particular post?
What you think?

Yeah I think it was the OP to second thread that had most of the attatchments.
I know I missed the i9000 camera apk. I couldnt find it from my phone, but it is included in that flashqble zip and SGS Tools.

Ok im on board with the new thread. Im talking to my kernel dev as I write this on more things to try. The issue were having right now isnt banding well what were used to anyways. We have color lines at the moment like greens and blues, we got rid of the red and white so far. We get rid of one and create another.
If your feeling generous.

I've a FFC mod, i'd like to know if it is possible to make a video call to a phone number, with no other application like tango or fring.
Thank's
As I have stated before I'm a amateur photographer and I have learned that in low light situations it is very important to understand that banding will always be a major hurdle. Since this is a "Fixed" lens, and the camera has no flash, post processing of video/pictures will IMO go the furthest with lessening/eliminating banding. Have you guys been able to find what (software) the I9000 uses for this? Can the Image Stabilization software be tweaked? ISO be increased or shutter speed be sped up. I know I am asking/presenting more problems than solutions but I really think that these are the key.
There's a nice little camera apk that can be flashed on page 149 of the main thread that could go in the op.

this is very true, as i am filmmaker and have been working with film for many years. if, like you say, it is an ISO problem, which it seems to be, it is all software, and we need to figure out how to let more light in, or somehow bring up the contrast (which might also fix the problem).
we need more light to go into the lens
We do need more light in the lens I took a video outside in the daytime and there was almost no banding only indoors or artificial lighting is where the banding is bad

I'm on board as well, I did some work on grounding... succeeded in frying one camera, won't be so clumsy on the next.
I think it would help to incorporate some of the findings in one part of thread (op)
Then at least we can get rid of the redundancy and repetitive questions.
BTW my earlier Nikon DSLR's had banding issues as well in low light, so it is a common issue
has anyone been able to successfully swap out their vibrant (if necessary) with t-mobile after applying this mod? I have it done, and am thinking about trying the nail polish trick to see if i can get a replacement for dropped calls. just not sure if it will work.

really? i've been trying but no matter what i do it's still kind of obvious that something has been changed there when you look towards that corner
I have noticed that prior to displaying a photo with the gallery that there appears to be some processing of the picture. I am wondering if the I9000 does that prior to saving a picture to memory. Has anyone tried to import (hope that's the right term) that APK and seeing if it helps?
I returned my vibrant with this mod as well.. So far no extra fees other than shipping since I don't have insurance..
At first I used spray paint.. I spray painted a paper and collected enough paint to let ONE drop drip into the hole..and with a toothpick I spread it around.. But it wouldnt dry and once it did I missed a spot. It was a pain. But I think it works most effectively if done right.. When I returned it however, I just used the black nail polish mentioned before. It was soo obvious but it worked. Btw my camera had goo-gone IN it which made every picture blurry.. (why I returned it) plus my vibration didn't work so....
You should be good

awesome. thanks a lot! i found that using my sisters old mascara pen thing with a mixture of black nail polish did the trick. it's drying right now. will post back results in case anyone is wondering!
I received my Nexus 4 today. It came before it was schedualed to as I was one with a 2-3 week estimated delivery. Which was 4 working days before the earliest delivery.
First thing I noticed is it is heavier than I expected and the inside of the box had white dust all over. Next the plastic protectors that it comes with are much better than I have seen on any other device more like screen protector for front and back with cutouts for the sensors and camera. If these were just like shipping protectors they would not be as thick nor bother to have cut outs for sensors. The Nexus 4 with the protectors on does not slide all over. I laid it on my leg at a 45 deg angle and it did not slide.
Your thoughts on the device after less than 24 hours use. Really?
nice
Trojan man.
I voided my warranty.
We don't need to see a new thread every single time someone else gets the Nexus 4. You could've quite easily used one of the other threads.
Please remember that for future reference.

This is a thread I am going to be updating as I learn. If you don't want to follow it no one is making you.
As I learn about my Nexus 4 since I have never had such a device the things I find may help some other newbie. Also I seem to have a different opinion of some things like how slick it is, the weight and the protectors that came on it.
Now when I got it the battery was at about 70% and I have run it down to 40% charged it and run it down to 20%. Of course I was doing a lot of WiFi downloading, file transferring (via WiFi Explorer Pro), bluetooth and WiFi file transferring (to and from my Wi-Drive), streaming videos and songs (via my Wi-Drive) and watching internet youtubes. But that doesn't seem like an impressive battery to me even though it is more than I will normally need.
I have not done the upgrade yet probably tomorrow.
I have learned that I can remove the icons at the bottom of the screen and even turn them into folders. I am having a hard time trying to get dropbox to sync automatically. I can't find a setting for that. It seems each app needs to be told to sync now or it doesn't sync. I suspect it really is just something I have not figured out yet.
I tested the screen for bleed and found no bleed whatever. Same goes for dead pixels. The sound is rather good but not smooth enough for good listening. However! I found that when I have the volume turned all the way up and insert my ear buds the sound automatically drops to about a quarter full volume yet I can turn the volume all the way up and with my ear buds it gets just a little too loud but of course it is a much smoother and cleaner sound.
I tried to connect it to my computer running Linux Mint 13 KDE and could not see it.
I made several calls via WiFi with Groove IP and the sound was quite good for me and the people said they could hear me fine, but more testing is needed.
I also can't seem to get the Neo/Tv remote app to work and no clues yet.
I think you need to get out more.

This is a pretty pointless thread as posting personal user experiences doesn't really do anyone any good. There are already many reviews available online. Thread closed.
Sometimes when I record, I'll get blue colors on the edges of my screen. Does anybody else get this problem? It sounds like a software issue, and that's what I hope it is.

i only notice it in less than ideal situations..Like something im filming is dark but there is light present on the edges behind me..Sometimes it's green too
i get this all the time..happens only on the edges of the pictures or video. i believe this might be only happening when you are taking pictures under those fluorescent light bulbs(energy savers) ..reason why i say this is because it only happens when I'm indoors and not using flash. does anyone know if this is a camera issue or is it just those damn light bulbs ???...my place is dimly lit with one light bulb...
I just want to be sure we're having the same problem. I attached some screenshots of what I'm talking about, and as you can see, Zoe has to be enabled. My take is Zoe does it because it's a "video."

Im willing to bet there is a computer monitor some where very close to you in this picture because that is when I noticed it as well...I lower manually the ISO to help eliminate too much unwanted noise.
EDIT: Deeerp just saw the keyboard in the 1st pic so obviously there is a monitor near by...I have had this happen out doors at night as well though..If you get away from the light source on the edges it should help.
There is, but it also happened in the hallway when I was messing around with Zoe.
Alright, just happy to hear it's a software issue . I was hoping I didn't have to return my phone...so much time spent into setting it up!

Perhaps this has been discussed to death but I couldn't find a specific thread for it. The LED light on this phone is very puny, and can be only viewed at a very direct angle otherwise it's not visible, even in a dark room. Am I the only one with this problem? Perhaps it's a long shot but there's no way to make a mod to increase the brightness of the LED light is there
Hi, I do have a thread I just posted to now, so it should be near the top of the listing again.
I have the same problem and I have eliminated things like dust in the grill and other hardware issues.... It is something to do with the software or a side effect of one of the settings, but I t know what.
It is driving me to dispear as I have the phone on silent half the day so really need this feature to work properly.... Don't know what to do....
