Reliable Fix for iPhone 4 Proximity Sensors
When the iPhone 4 was released in June of 2010, it wasn't without it's share of glitches. The first reported glitch was with the iPhone 4's wireless 3G antenna. This was suspected to cause poor reception and a high volume of dropped calls. The next reported issue was with the iPhone 4's proximity sensor. Apple addressed this problem on the software level, with the release of iOS 4.1.
Since the iOS 4.1 release, there have been many questions as to whether or not the update resolved the iPhone 4 proximity sensor issue once and for all. From my own experience, I haven't had any complaints since this software update was made public.
Some of you may be wondering, "What in the world is a proximity sensor is and what function does it serve?" Without getting too involved, every iPhone (including the original iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS models) have a proximity sensor. This sensor emits an infrared (IR) light that detects the presence of a solid object (such as a head or hand), while you have a call in progress, or while you are listening to a voicemail. When it detects a solid object, it turns your iPhone's LCD panel off. This is a function you'll probably never miss until it's no longer working.
The function of the proximity sensor actually has two distinct advantages. First, you aren't muting your phone, accidentally pushing buttons, or hanging up on your callers with your cheek. The other advantage is that it conserves power consumption and improves your phone's battery life in between charging cycles.
As an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician who makes a living supporting and fixing Apple products, this is an issue that could not be ignored. The reputation of my business hung in the balance of being able to find a reliable and professional solution for this problem. I've done extensive research and testing on this topic and feel like I've made significant headway in resolving this annoying glitch..
In the four years that I've been repairing iPhones, it's only been recently that I've began experiencing the problems that have been widely documented and reported. Since the release of iOS 4.1, I haven't seen any cases in which the iPhone's proximity sensor malfunctioned on a phone that hadn't been modified. When I say "modified" I mean a phone that has undergone a color conversion, or one that the front glass and LCD had been replaced due to the phone being dropped and having the original glass broken. I noticed that the occurrence was more apparent after a color conversions had been performed.
Since the proximity sensor on the iPhone 4 is located on the iPhone's mid-frame and is not a part of the front glass and LCD assembly, I had never questioned the quality of the parts I was purchasing. With that in mind, I began testing every phone prior to repair. I wanted to be sure that the phones were functioning properly, prior to repairs, or color conversions being made. So far, I have yet to find one that wasn't working just fine before the repair. It turns out, the problem was attributed to two factors.
1. The unique sensitivity of each iPhones proximity sensor.
2. The proximity sensor cover on some of the replacement glass is not tinted as dark. This allows too much light to pass through.
2. The proximity sensor cover on some of the replacement glass is not tinted as dark. This allows too much light to pass through.
I've read over many articles and blogs that suggest using black tape with holes punched out, or a black magic marker to cover the iPhone's proximity sensor. I didn't feel that either of these fixes offered a professional solution, or one that I would even be proud to employ in my practice.
After speaking with my parts distributor, I found the best solution for this problem is an inexpensive "sensor cover." This cover is a small piece of film with a coating that looks to be the same red polarized coating on some sunglasses. This small piece of film is installed over the top of the iPhone's proximity sensor.
At the end of the day, it would appear that too much light is getting in and confusing the phone. The proximaity sensor cover filters excessive light from entering the phone and there by solves the problem.

Compass For Your iPhone
You can now do lots related to travelling with the help of your iPhone all because of the hard work put in by the iPhone developers. Various iPhone applications make use of the compass installed in your iPhone to give you lots of information regarding positioning and directions. Some of the great things that you can do are:
- Get your exact location - If you're exploring a new neighbourhood and are on the lookout for a friend's apartment, or maybe even a great restaurant to have a sumptuous meal then there are various apps that are available on your iPhone that provide you with detailed information basically utilizing the compass of your phone.
- Reach a particular destination - you don't need to use paper maps anymore all thanks to the work of iPhone developers who have created apps that give you precise directions to your destination. This too works because of the compass installed on your phone.
- Locate a place - do you wish to visit a place, if yes then there are various apps that give you complete information of that place namely the proximity, the time taken to reach there from your current location and the best way to get there. So again it's all thanks to the humble compass within your phone that the iPhone developers have got a chance to build these great apps.
How the iPhone compass works
The offshore iPhone developers have put in a lot of effort and researched on this topic, not just to build compasses that deliver the highest accuracy but also compasses that are: compatible with all versions of the iPhone, easy to navigate and also blend in well with your model of the iPhone. The principle that your iPhone compass uses is that of a magnetometer in iOS. In addition to this magnetometer there is an accelerometer present and this acts as your digital compass giving you precise directions provided there are no other strong magnetic fields around you, as the presence of any other magnetic field will alter the effects produced by Earths own magnetic field thereby giving you false information. Therefore in the absence of any external field, your iPhone will detect just the Earth's intrinsic magnetic field, thus giving your device precise directional navigation with respect to that of the geomagnetic North Pole. But as always the geomagnetic and geographical North Pole does very, it's nothing to do with your application but that's the case with the Earth itself, the extend of this depends on your location.
Even though the iPhone development team has done its best in creating compass apps, they haven't met the demand for greater and better compasses in this 3G world. We see that the 3G devices don't come along with an inbuilt compass and therefore plenty of the compass apps are prevented from working. But the 3G devices come along with an arrow that indicates the North; however this can't be compared to a compass for many reasons. However the few apps that are present today are surely great and help you reach your destination with great accuracy.

Advantages Of Rooting Your Android Device
Android is emerging as another popular mobile OS rivaling the more established platforms. Android mobile applications have seen a tremendous burst of android development activity with its ever-increasing scope and range. The functionality of your phone can be extended by rooting it. Let us discuss what is rooting and what are the advantages in doing so.
What is Rooting?
Rooting of an Android device is similar to jail breaking of iPhone. Rooting gains you access as a super-user on the Android platform. Rooting your phone implies taking complete control of your phone by modifying the operating system that originally shipped with it. A program called SU (switch user) when uploaded on the device provides root access to programs. SU manages this by exploiting vulnerability in the operating system code or device drivers. Needless to say, manufacturers do not approve the process of rooting. The advantages of rooting your Android device are enumerated below.
Customized Android OS
Android devices are not bound to its original OS. You can customize the OS to suit your needs. The more popular devices have more customized, after-market OSes. Rooting gives you full control over Android and you can alter system files, use themes, change boot images, delete apps that you do not want. For example, HTC Desire has more than 20 customized OSes that allow among other things saving apps to an SD, adding Arabic support, and removing SenseUI completely.
Backup and restore
Rooting gives you the ability to back-up your entire device image onto an SD card, which can be restored later if required. This allows trying out different OSes on your phone. If you want to try a new ROM (modified, after-market OS), you can back-up your phone, erase it completely, and then flash the new ROM. If you are not satisfied with the new ROM, you can restore your phone to the old image from the backup.
Save Space
Sometimes you may reach the maximum storage limit on your device. To overcome this hitch, you need to enable most applications to become movable to an SD. Tools like CyanogenMod, the popular Android custom ROM, enable the user to transfer most apps to SD even if the Android developers of those apps have not enabled this feature.
Apps Requiring Rooting
Some Android apps specifically require rooting. A tool like ROM Manager requires rooting to flash ROMs from SD card to your phone. Similarly, setCPU is another root-requiring app that helps you to under/overclock the device
Caution
Ensure that you follow the instructions carefully when rooting a branded or locked device. Improper execution may result in a bricked phone - a bricked phone is one where the firmware is damaged or a software error has occurred rendering the device unusable in any capacity. In some instances, the phone can be usable through a ROM flash.
Conclusion
Customized Android ROMs have evolved from being simple tweaks earlier to allow advanced full access controls covering most of Android phones today. Hyper-optimized versions and CPU overclocking can make your phone incredible swift. The best way to get started is to Google for information on rooting your phone by the search string

Android RPG Games
Mobile phones have gotten fancier over the years. First the developers added cameras, the internet and now most smart phones can now play video games. They're not budget games like Snake or Tetris either. Smart phones are able to play video games that have the same quality that portable gaming devices produce.
One of the most recent smart phones released is Sony's Xperia Play. Xperia Play has been dubbed as the world's first PlayStation certified phone. Not only is it a phone, but it can double as a portable gaming device. The controls are very similar Sony's other products such as the PSP and the PS3 controller just to name a few.
This means you can finally play PlayStation-style video games with the comfort of a real control scheme. There is nothing more uncomfortable than playing games on your phone using the horrible numbered keypad. The most pleasant thing about the Xperia Play is that some PlayStation Classic games will be heading their way onto the system very soon.
Although there have not been any RPG PlayStation games available yet, it's more than likely that Square Enix will release some of its Final Fantasy games onto the platform. Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX have all been ported to Sony's PlayStation Network. The thought of putting Final Fantasy VII (the most popular RPG ever made) on the Xperia Play could help Sony take a hold of the market dominated mostly by Apple.
Zenonia 2 is an old-school 16-Japanese RPG much like the older Final Fantasy games from the early '90s. The 2D graphics are cute and the game itself is one of the better RPGs available on Android phones. Although the game is heavily inspired by Japanese RPGs, it's actually made in Korea. Nevertheless, I'm sure it's a game RPG fans will love playing.
Gurk is a game that will be liked from gamers who grew up in the '80s. It's an old-school style video game that is only a mere 100KB to download. Despite Gurk's very old style of graphics, it's still in color and a blast to play. There are 24 levels in all and a total of 23 monsters for you to find and kill. Gurk won't be a game liked by modern gamers, but if you grew up playing the original Nintendo game system, you will fall in love with its old-school style of gameplay.
Another RPG game available on Android phones is Dungeon Defenders: First Wave. The game is an online cooperative action-RPG much like Torchlight and Baldur's Gate. The game is free to download for most phones. The graphics are in full 3D and looks stunning for a game that costs nothing to download. Up to four players can play together online. It may be clichéd and borrows elements from most other RPG games, however its visuals and multiplayer is what makes it quite fun.
Whether you own an Xperia Play or not, there are tons of RPG games to explore on Android phones. Quite a few of them are free to download, so there's no excuse for you not to play any of the games here on offer. Let's hope Square Enix brings more Final Fantasy games to the Android market as that will certainly boost the popularity of the genre.
If you're want to play Android RPG games then you have found your perfect place. Spend fun hours while playing Free online RPG games.
