For alot of people, just having a Thunderbolt is great without rooting. I got a plain old Thunderbolt but I still need to ask some questions about some stuff.
So are you asking questions or answering question?
Just making a thread for us regular phone users who don't intend to root.

How do you get the compass off the top of the screen ?
I'm unrooted...I have a question. During the day in the office, my TB screen is clear and bright, however when I walk outdoors...(smoke break), the screen tends to get much darker and almost unreadable. Is there a setting somewhere to solve this?
thanks all....

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. If you're not, my apologies. Its just the LCD screen. Take any device out in direct sunlight and viewing the screen is difficult. There aren't any fixes or settings. Sorry.

Yeah, it sucks. But its just one of those things that is out of our control.

That just means your GPS is on. Not active but on. If it was active you would see the little dish (half moon) symbol and the lines that move away from it.
You cant remove it
/agree - I came here with one purpose: to learn as much as I can about hacking the hell out of my new toy.

My intention is to root but I am reading all I can before jumping in an doing it. I am not a geek, so am trying to learn what I can. Where better to learn than on a developer's forum? After reading that Verizon may be coming after the rooters, I am now a little hesitant.
Hope this answered your question.

'Cause its where you find the best and brightest. Where else would you wanna be?
For people who know their phone, If you have questions about them or just want to hang out with other people with your phone this is the place to be.
I thought this was the place to ask questions. Sorry. Where should we go instead ???
Linux USB tethering?
Ok, this is my first post, but I have been lurking for a while (eris, now TB).
Has anyone been able to get the HTC built-in "internet connection mode" tethering to work on Linux? Using Ubuntu 10.04, Network Manager recognizes the phone as a modem, but can't connect to anything. Nothing in the browser, can't even ping by IP. I know there is a driver/HTC sync software it uses on windows - is there any way to make this work in Linux? Perhaps using ndiswrapper?
I've googled my fingers off and can't find anything related.

Hi All
Is it possible for any DEV to fix the USSD Problem in Photon.
I have looked into many threads and nothing helped.
Seems like there is some patch which needs to be applied
hunderteins said:
TL;DR: It works for me. Try it. If it works, good for you.
I patched libril-qc-1.so in a way, that it sends a fixed length of 32 bytes instead of 4. (position 0xa8fc2).
Good luck,

Omg. Are you kidding? I know about this fix at least one month. And try to hex edit our ril, even if I don't know where to search, even when I don't need ussd, searched in the framework too and probably this fix is not our problem.
I lost few hours with searching for this problem.

Apparently folks are not bothering to read the forum guidelines yet again and could obviously care less. This has gotten completely out of hand so on that note I give you the following...
Camel+straw=back injury
(I will no longer be releasing or maintaining anything on xda until this BS stops)
While it is annoying, there are probably 100 good users to every bad one. So all hope is not lost. All we really need is moderators that actually frequent these forums to enforce the rules. It's not the userbases responsibility to report things and hope the mods do something. It's the mods responsibility to do the job they were given.
You know this **** is getting out of hand when important devs can't stand to be here anymore. Sorry Loki :/

Seeing that both my primary and two backup drives failed today it's a moot point now, at least for me. I lost everything as far back as my custom PalmOS ROM days. Been fun guys.

Multiple pre-failures on primary (SMART monitor lit up like a christmas tree), must save data, grab backup (I have pets) hard impact with hardwood floor, grab second backup and in my haste plug directly into wall and (cue power surge) smoke not figuratively but literally. Three hard drives in about five minutes.
The only time I've ever seen multiple drives go at once was a voltage controller for the pci slots short and take out a RAID5 array in one stroke.
Well anyways, I will eventually get up and running but at this time it's really not a priority. Thanks to those that have donated and supported photon development and my work.

No of course it's great to see you in the forums, maybe we've just misunderstood something
Sorry, but if you (we) can't find them on ebay, I don't know where to get them. Usually most people don't need these screws...
//I know posting should be English, but just that I understand it right:
//Also es fehlen nur die schwarzen Schrauben für innen? Und mehr nicht? (So only the black screws are missing? Nothing else?)
//Sind die verloren gegangen oder wozu? (Have you lost them or why do you need them?)
You don't have to lurke in the dark. Just be polite and it's good to see you apologize for your mistakes (trust me, not many people do that) You are always encouraged to ask doubts and post useful information! :thumbup:

Never buy only a replacement digitizer, it's very difficult (nearly impossible) to separate without breaking LCD: https://www.google.de/search?q=separate+lcd+digitizer
Better buy a complete lcd + touch digitizer "assembly", they have become quite cheap (starting from 15$/€):

Pretty cool to have that
Thanks !

thks my friend, i will buy one of these.
but i'm little curious. Apparently the display is ok, just the touch doesn't work. I've noticed that the screen is "transpiring" too much moisture and some screws and springs were rusting. Has anyone tried to find out why the touch fails along the time? its maybe a CI problem or umidity

Well humidity becomes a problem especially when the device temperature is much lower than room temperature (like when coming in from winter/snow ) because the air surrounding the device surfaces cools down and water condenses, even on the inside.. it happens with watches, too..
Or you (or someone close to you) might have dropped it into liquid (toilet?) when you were very drunk
in that case, take out battery IMMEDIATELY, dry clean with a cloth, carefully shake out remaining fluid, then put f.e. into a bowl of dry rice and wait at least 24 hours before trying to power it up..

When my phone is locked and the screen is off if you swipe left to right on the bottom of the phone (menu buttons) it will bring your screen

That's a feature of dsb's kernel. And your username is gross btw.
