zhuk7, we can't read minds. You have to tell us what you are talking about.
The iFlash works with iPod connection, so it won't work on the Galaxy S obviously.

i know that iflash is only for ipod conection. I`ve asked if there are something like iflash but for Galaxy S

I misunderstood your first post.
The main trouble lies in interacting the flash with the camera app. While the iphone is capable of this, I don't think android can do it just yet.

Could there not be just a way to connect t something like this to the device and then manually turn on the flash as needed when taking a picture? I know that seems a bit archaic but it should work.
You know... On a switch or something? Perhaps a timer?

That would be difficult. We are talking about a xenon flash right? Not a LED? You need near perfect timing between the (electronic) shutter and the flash.

it will be good even if we get something with a led, or we can just tie a flashlight to our i9000

naaaa

Just tried v0.3. Sorry to report it does not work But I'm sure someone on this forum will have a flashlight working for us soon enough I think that's all the camera light is really good for anyway.
anyone have an answer for this?
Just wondering... of course, as usual: "after the fact":
The battery on my car was dead, and yesterday I planned to rplace it with a new one... However, in my garage the lighting is awful, and I could'nt find the screws and bolts... ended up calling the mechanics, to come and boost my battery....
An app like this would have been very usefull... would have saved me about 40 Euro's...

How Porting face unlock to KPQ ?

Hello i9003 developers!
XXJVU for i9000 have face unlock
How Porting face unlock to KPQ ?
it's realy ?
It's unuseful... Developers should think to optimizate the kernel instead of port the Face unlock...
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
ICS / CM9 is a better thing to focus on.
But it is useless? It's a good idea. We will not be less than the i9000 users
i9000 users have learned it's not perfect yet, especially in darker areas, so in most people's opinion's it's a waste of time.
Better focus on porting ICS first before doing the face unlock. its easier to port one at a time.

it's hard to use at night man. at daylight its okay but as i say its useless at night. for example i use video calling at some nights but even under the spotlight it shows me in darkness. barely seen.
focusing on ics/cm9 is more important

Probably he means to ask , is it really possible to port?!
And you haven't much suggested to work on x project or some ****, so my above post obviously doesn't apply to u. :-D

1. His question / sentence / whatever is open to any interpretation.
2. Read it again... he's asking for someone's / anyone's opinion.
3. "stay shut"... seriously? Gotta learn to not take things so personally kid.
After all the work....
Yes face unlock is not very usefull....but it is fun....
Its true that we r having more imp. Issues...
i still remember there was a thread started in out forum...long time back...speedinessbeast
It was having that feature...faceunlock.....but very buggy......i guess so

lol I AGREE.. it's sort of ridiculous even
I don't think theres any use porting Face Unlock to KPQ because the value pack that is going to be released for i9003 will probably have that anyways . Speaking of value pack, where the **** is it?!?
All that people who are agains porting a lockscreen are against android development, and thats why I dont understand what are they doing in a development thread. U know how to port?? Ok then help him. U dont know how to? Say thanks to him for trying or shut up. U dont like the idea? U dont like development...so just shut up. Keep it up frank, good job man,
you can have the faceunlock from galaxy w.i have tried the files and the preview is showing.you have to use settings.apk also for getting faceunlock option in settings.
but due to the camera overlay problem it will not take the picture of our face.

@vivekkalady What did u exactly used from galaxy w? Settings.apk and what more? I imagine camera.apk and some libs... I ask this because we could try those files from:
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S.
Samsung I9001 Galaxy S Plus.
Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL.
Samsung I8150 Galaxy W.
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab.
If u told me I could make some combinations to see if it works

[Q] Component missing i9001

Hey guys! I just bought myself an I9001 Galaxy S Plus from someone (second hand)... It's my first smartphone so i think i've been busted.
The phone seemed to work well, and everything was ok. But when I try to use the GPS (without internet connection), it does'n seem to find any server. I've changed some different ROMs with different Kernels, but it still can't reach any server.
I forgot to mention that with some ROMs the signal level is very oscillating...
Today i was looking at the phone and observed that there is a hole just above the battery where some component, like an antenna or something is missing. I don't know what component is that...
I think that the missing component is the one in te next picture. But what is its name and role? Instead of it, at my phone, there's a soildered wire... This trick was made to mask other issues of the phone? (if i replace the missing component the phone might have problems?)
I'll attach the photos, may be you can help me. Thanks!!!
Does anybody know?

I think it's a Connector coaxial, a micro miniature form of RF coaxial connector. Look at one i marked with an arrow.. You can replace that part from samsung service center
Best of luck.
The details:
Design LOC: RFS100
SEC CODE: 3705-001731
Description: CONNECTOR-COAXIAL
thank you!
but that's the reason why my gps doesn't work?
or that's the reason why the signal level is very oscillating when i'm using some custom ROMs?
do I need it, or i can live without ?

May be. Not sure..
I used to have a i9000B wich is basicaly the same device.
THE GPS signal simply sucks, it was so bad that sometimes it took 2 minutes to lock in open field, with some roms it got better with other even worse.
I used GPS AIDS with that device an app that was developed just to try to solve this particular device problem at that time. look it up, maybe it can help a little bit, but i thing this device will never get a high speed gps lock.

I know that its GPS sucks, but mine effectively sees nothing. no server
Am i blind, or my antenna is missing completely?
No. Sorry, the antenna is there. I don't know what my problem is with the GPS.
Doesn't seem like there is anything missing. GPS on this was really bad. I never got a GPS signal.

Disable Nexus 5 front camera

Hello
I am wondering if there is a possibility to disable the front camera of my nexus 5 for privacy reasons. I don't need it anyway.
Of course, I could glue something onto it, but that just looks stupid and I think there must be a way to disable the camera for the system, which can be fixed if I need to. I guess the best way would be to remove the drivers for it, but I don't know which one it is.
Does anyone has any idea how to achieve this? Deleting the camera.apk would not work because I still want to be able to use the camera at the back.
Thank you already and cheers.
Just use a black marker pen and put a dot.. If you ever want to use the camera, use alcohol to wipe it off.
Privacy? You believe someone could hack your phone and watch you?
Yeah.... Not going to happen. Relax. ?

Pre-Purchase question on display - Huawei Watch 2 Sport

Hi guys, i'm coming from the Moto 360 Sport, and interested in getting the Huawei Watch 2 Sport, simple because Moto crippled it after the AW 2.0 upgrade, ridiculously slow to use now.
With the Moto 360 Sport, it did have a display feature called "AnyLight ", that displays in 'any light' and i loved that.
Motorola accomplishes it by combining a traditional backlit LCD in "transmissive" display with reflective backing. Or something like that.
Anyway, I really like this feature, see screens attached.
I was wondering what the Huawei Watch 2 Sport/Classic screens look like in dim/ambient mode. Does it have this idea?
Anyone care to share some photo of this, as I've read/watched so many reviews, but cannot see what this looks like.
Thanks a lot.
Darren.
Hw2 is amoled so in ambient modes is uses much much less battery because of the black pixels being off, but this feature that you're talking about is not available in hw2, however the watch display is very sharp and shiny even in direct sun light.
also be aware that amoled screens get damaged (burn-in issue) if a pixel is on a particular color for a long time, meaning that for example on ambient mode there are numbers around the screen that are always on, this may cause those numbers to burn in the screen so even when you are in a completely different screen, you will still see those numbers! (for more info google Burn-in)
Just adding to what was already said regarding burn in. Most watch face makers that support ambient move include a feature which shifts the pixels around ever so slightly to prevent burn in. A very simple yet elegant solution to the problem.

yeah if that's as you said it would be great, I havent noticed it yet
So I just found something interesting. Under developer options > Wear Developer options there is a "force anti burn" setting. Set this up now to give it a try.

I actually forgot to check this and you are right. So stupid.
hi seems like relevant topic for my question.
are there many disadvantages to get the wifi only (non 4G) of this huawei watch 2? (i get the obvious i cant put sim card and get direct internet connection of course). for example:
will the NFC still works on the non 4G model?
how about the xda community ie root twrp and custom rom? less or more than global version?
any other important things i need to know when deciding to get wifi only or 4G?
thank you.

Live tracking during runs is the sole reason I got the 4G version. Have to say love the watch.

ah, so GPS is independent on the 4G versus assisted ie need to be connected to phone for the wifi only.
i can live with that. i dont run alot yeah lazy me.
anything else? NFC and the custom roms are interchangeable?

No, GPS independent.
Live tracking = data connection for mapping run location remotely.

sorry got it mixed up. before, i thought GPS live tracking need constant internet connection and you dont want to carry your phone while jogging.
ok got it now.
also by googling i think NFC works on both model but ofcourse the wifi model will need to be connected to phone to be able to use NFC android pay for example, i assumed
