[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
I don't think I've heard of any pure vanilla AOSP ROMs but, for example, CM7 based on Gingerbread. No sense mess. I figure that's what you're after.

EDIT:ckochinsky125 beat me by a minute....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igobyzach:
I noticed this earlier today and it's driving me NUTS!! Various system sounds (so far I've found the dialing tone, lock/unlock click, and default keyboard sounds) all of a sudden are practically inaudible. I can hear them but only if I hold the speaker up to my ear while dialing, typing, etc. All volume levels are turned up all the way like I always have them, what gives?!? I'm very confused by this...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Possibly blown speakers? Have you tried music?

Swyped from my sexy EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
are you sure your system volume is up? You can check it with Audio Manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igobyzach:
Uhh yeah like I said, all volume levels are ALL the way up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igobyzach:
Nope not blown as ringtones, etc. come through the speaker just fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGWORM:
You running stock? Try a reset/clean flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igobyzach:
Yes everything is stock and I'm trying to avoid the obvious (resetting the phone)

Are all of these things y'all have suggested not obvious to the average user? I don't mean to be rude in the least but I always try several things to fix an issue before I seek out help...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
haha. you may be surprised sometimes:D Always got to cover all the bases.

I have no idea what's causing you issues, but I experience something sort of simlar, and have yet to figure it out. I don't use any audio feedback or lockscreen unlock sounds or anything like that. My ringer and notifications always work fine. The thing for me that is odd, is my boot animation sound. No matter what sound I use, it plays halfway through EXTREMELY loud, and then it suddenly cuts to about 1/3 the volume that it started playing at. It's random, and doesn't happen every time, but definitely enough for me to notice. I have no idea what causes it, but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same type of issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
Download an app called audio manager. Your system volume got stuck down and won't go up without that type of app, since we cannot change it in settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
+1 same thing happened to me and that was the only way i could fix it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
AudioManager allows you to change the system sound settings, which is otherwise impossible via the standard Android interface. That solved my problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cberbes:
With CM7 I keep throwing the ADW launcher away, it seems that when I unlock the screen I am holding it at an angle that puts the launcher on the "top" of the screen, but I use my thumb slide down the notification bar.....which isn't on top because the way I am holding the phone....and I end up basically dragging the ADW launcher into the trash. Even when I go into the settings and restart the launcher it takes a few minutes.

Any way to stop doing that....other than holding the phone straight or waiting a second for the screen to rotate? I looked in the launcher settings to find anything that would stop me from throwing it away, but can't find anything. So far CM7 RC4 is working flawlessly in every other department....I just can't seem to stop throwing the launcher in the trash.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
When you mean "launcher" do you mean the app drawer? If so then you can lock it so no changes will be made. Just hit menu and Lock Desktop. If its not there check under more.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
I actually find adw launcher to be incredibly annoying. Can't stand having default weird gestures that make things vanish or explode. On top of it, it really doesn't do anything useful over the stock launcher, and has a really "amateurish" look to it. I say just delete adwlauncher and replace it with stock. Works way better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
I'm on c7 nightly rom which comes with adw launcher installed by default. Where can I find the 'stock' launcher to either flash through recovery or install?
[G2 and Desire Z General] cberbes:
I don't mind it as much, I just got sick of constantly throwing it in the garbage. It seems that the problem is that the accelerometer is sluggish with CM7, and it takes a second for the screen to flip vertical as I am unlocking the screen while taking it out of my pocket. That and the fact that the drawer goes to the "top" of the screen in landscape mode instead of being at the bottom like the stock ones does.....plus the garbage can is on the top of the screen not the bottom like stock. With the stock ROM I am used to unlocking the screen while picking up the phone and quickly using my thumb to drop down the notification bar to read a new text. When I do it that fast with CM7, combined with all the above "issues", I end up dragging the drawer into the trash can. Rather annoying. For now I just removed the garbage can and use long hold to delete things on the screen. But I am thinking of loading the stock drawer.

Right now I am in the process of finding a radio that doesn't lose all signal randomly and doesn't kill my battery. So after this trial and error with radios, I might switch back to the OE drawer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SomEngangVar:
There are ones on the market but this one is the lightest I've found.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Why don't you just lock the desktop, as previously suggested in Post #2? One of the reasons I like ADW, is becuase its the only launcher I've tried so far that has the feature to lock the desktop.

Another workaround, I personally don't like the homescreen/lanucher auto-rotating with the G-Sensor, so in the ADW settings, I have it locked to Portrait. On this setting, the homescreen only goes to landscape when you open the keyboard.
[Legend General] Papaniz:
Hi there,

I have a question on backing up Nandroid. If I backup Nandroid let's say now, is it recommended to back it up again next time? Or every once in a while? What I'm planning to do is backup Nandroid every month. Is there any need for that at all or just one backup is fine? Thanks for the help.
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
There is no need to do a backup every month. Just do it when you are upgrading/changing to a different ROM or you're customizing something like flashing a new boot screen. If you do not have the intention to do such things then there is no point in doing a backup.
[Legend General] Papaniz:
I see, thanks. :)
[Streak 5 General] mid_life_crisis:
There are apps I would like to buy, but I flat out don't want to enter a credit card number into a phone. You can send a text and the phone company will donate money to a charity and add it to your bill. Why can't we buy these small apps the same way?
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edshawn911:
Hey guys, i have been writing and re writing different Rom to my phone for about a year now. But last night the worst thing that could happen happened. I did a backup of my external sd card and a titanium backup before writing the rc3 Rom final gingerbread clone to my phone. Well after writing it i decided i did not want it. So as any other time i just booted into recovery and looked for my nandriod backup and none of my backups were under restore. I realize now

that my backups including my titanium backups must have been on my actual phone and had been wiped. How can i avoid this problem in the future. I thought overtime i wiped my phone

and restored it, it was because i had my stuff on my sd card. I have a nandriod folder backed up from my external sd card but that seems to be worthless at this point. Any advice would help. Thanks, signed starting over.... Lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
you are correct in that all of your backups are originally stored in your phone memory (/sdcard) not your external sd card (sdcard/external_sd) unless you physically move them yourself or re-set the destination in each program. For example my nandroids are in (sdcard/clockworkmod/backup), TB in(sdcard/TitaniumBackup), and sms/mms in (sdcard/SMSBackupRestore

Usually flashing a new ROM will not wipe my internal or external sdcard. If anything it will wipe the INTERNAL sdcard not your external.

In any case backing up your backups is a good idea. Simply move them from their location to your PC. Voila! now you have all your backups stored on your PC.(aren't i smart:)) Now heres a little TOP SECRET tip..... ever since i started having mount to PC issues on random ROM/kernel combination's I keep a hidden nandroid backup in my external sdcard:eek: I always move my last nandroid there heres my path (sdcard/external_sd/backup/TOPSECRET/hiddenfile/poop/)... this makes it easy to pull your last nandroid just in case your internal does get wiped. Hope this helps :D

[myTouch 3G Slide General] Junglenutz:
Is there a way of taking that freaking thing off besides apps2sd or delete them because it is so annoying
[myTouch 3G Slide General] cramill:
Not that I know of, but I'm no expert...

If you are rooted, try a different ROM or try to remove bloatware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
when i get to the hboot screen and click recovery i get a phone with a red signal and i get stuck their.

Any idea's?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Are you rooted? What recovery do you have? If you are rooted, you may need to reflash a recovery. I suggest amon RA v2.3....Download the PC36IMG.zip from http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip

Afterwards, put it on the root of your SD card. Shutdown your device and re-enter the bootloader screen (press the down volume button while also pressing the power button). The bootloader will AUTOMATICALLY detect the PC36IMG.zip and prompt you to install. Follow the prompt to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery. The name & version of the recovery will be displayed at the bottom of the screen....Take care.

Oh, for future reference, post questions like this here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652

I almost didn't notice your question in this particular thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
Yes i am fully rooted and not sure what recovery i have im pretty new to this, sorry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmx:
No links to download your work OP?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
i recognize that file and thats already in the root of my sdcard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
No need to apologize, my friend. We've all been there. Just follow my instructions to install a fresh recovery and you *should* be fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Yeah, but that doesn't mean it is a recovery file. Boot animation screens and the like can also be name PC36IMG.zip. If you're certain that the file you have is indeed a recovery file, then, by all means, use the one you have, but if you're unsure, go with the one I linked and put the other one in a folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
that pc36 file is what recovery i have not sure what its called

but everytime i go to the hboot screen it always scans something and says do you want to update and i always click no. this ONE time for some reason started annoying me so i clicked yes and now i can't go in recovery. smh
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I understand. Either delete the PC36IMG.zip you have or move it inside a folder. then download the PC36IMG.zip from the link I provided and place it on the root of your SD card and then re-enter the bootloader screen and follow the prompts to install when prompted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
i think i might have lost my recovery.. not 100% sure though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:

should i delete both pc36 files? there that one and a pc36.eng
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
If you'd like, but again, if you are unsure of what those files are, do not use them. The recovery I'm trying to get you to flash is the most recommended one...amon RA v2.3....a detailed description of the recovery menus can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/KKWrv amon RA's thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

this happened to me a few times if your not rooted and the phone wont boot either you can take the battery out put it back in hold volume down and power then go to fast boot connect to your computer and flash one of the stock RUU's
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Are you having problems booting into your homescreen or is the problem limited to the recovery? I suppose I should have asked this question earlier.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
No it was just recovery. im on RA 2.3 right now.

im flashing my sd right now a wiping the davlik, cache and data
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
If you followed my instructions and are now in recovery, then yes, that's it. I mean, unless you're getting ready to flash a new rom, kernel, theme, mod of some sort, you can simply select "reboot" and your phone will reboot and then load into your homescreen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey_UFC:
Thanks man i am currently installing warm back right now with some other roms like hulu and bootloader animations and stuff

let you know if i run into troubles
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
You are definitely in recovery if you're able to wipe the cache, dalvik & data. Keep in mind that since you are wiping your "data", you will have to re-enter your data when you enter your homescreen. Most people do not wipe their data unless they want to start over or something. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to be of assistance to you. Take care and have a great night....:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:

[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
I am hearing impaired and wear hearing aids in both ears and when I choose the HAC mode under Calls in settings, it mutes the audio on both incoming and

outgoing calls. You don't even hear the phone ring but when the call is answered you can't hear the person you called and they can't hear you. With HAC off

the phone works but I can barely hear it with out my aids even with the volume full up. Any one using HAC?

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
My dad wears hearing aids in both ears, and he recently got an inspire. I'll check with him tomorrow and see what his experience has been.

I know many people consider the volume level of the phone to be too low, I personally don't have any issue with it, but I don't get/make a lot of calls.

My Dad hasn't complained about it so far, and believe me, the guy isn't shy about returning things he isn't happy with, but I'll check with him anyway, and post again later in the day on Monday.
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Thanks Scott, if you and your dad don't mind checking it (HAC on and Off)

while making a call it would be great to know what he thinks.

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I'll see what I can do. I don't know if he even knows about the HAC mode. I know I didn't until your post. ;)

I won't see him until later today, just doing my morning xda check-in, atm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Scott it's under "call" in "Settings"

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, he was in a hurry, but I managed to talk a litte bit about it.

I asked him if he knew about the HAC setting, and as I thought, he didnt, so I asked him how the phone was performing in terms of using it with hearing aids, and he actually said it's loud, and that he doesn't even need to use the external speaker, which surprised me.

That explains why I hadn't heard any complaints coming from him, or questions about the HAC mode.

When I briefly glanced at the setting on my phone, it's description does indeed say something like "boosts volume of incoming calls."

If I get the chance again I'll see if he can actually turn the setting on and give him a test call, as you suggested. Like I said, he was in a hurry to get to a dinner engagement.

May not be today, but if you subscribe to this thread, and then check it occasionally, I'll post back when I'm able to get an answer for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Thanks Scott, I really appreciate your efforts. By your dad saying that it was loud, they might have turned it on at the store for him, that would be good to know. The HTC support tech told me they have not had any complaints about the HAC, but I have had two phones in two days with the same problem.

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
That's something I didn't check. I will take a look at his phone, next time I see him.

I'll keep you posted. Having a dad with impaired hearing, and hoping I don't follow suit later in life, I can sympathize, and won't forget about you... :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
HAC doesn't work on the stock ROM. It's a bug.
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Thanks for the info gtg465x. Wonder if HTC is aware of this? I have been talking with them and I must say their tech support people are real nice and helpful. They actually speak english with out an accent which makes it easy if your hearing impaired like me. I was surprised that the techs I have been talking to are in Knoxville TN, only 2 hrs from me.

Is there anything you can tell me specifically about this problem that I can pass on to them?

capman231
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Well on my phone I could hear the other party but they couldn't hear me. All they heard was an echo of themselves. Speakerphone mode worked fine though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well that got cleared up, thanks to gtg465x.

Just to follow-up on my previous post, HAC was not enabled on my dad's phone.

And its a darn fine thing, evidently, or else that new phone of his would've been back to Costco in a heartbeat. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] capman231:
Thanks gtg465x, what you describe is what mine does most of the time, but a couple of times when the HTC tech called my phone I couldn't hear him and he couldn't hear me but on several other calls it did exactly what you described.

Thanks to you and also to Scott for all of your input, I really appreciate it.

Hey fellow xoom users, i found this app that finally solves the problem of media streaming from windows to android devices. All u have to do is download the app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skifta.android.app&feature=search_result

and create an account and download the desktop client, and fiddle with your windows media player settings and it works beautifully for streaming movies, pictures, and music. It works on local wifi and over public networks when u sign up. It works with any DLNA device too, and an xbox 360 and ps3 for streaming. It is the only app that works for this. If u have an alternate media player for unsupported formats like avi it even plays those files through that app while streaming. and from my use, it streams very well over any half decent wifi, but still requires wifi. i tried it on my EVO 4g and even oven 4g it would not stream, so thats the only downside. ENJOY!!!

So I posted this previously a few hours ago and I got forwarded to the "how to" guide by jaekar99 from androidcentral on two ways to install bootanimation.

Flashing didnt' work because the zip wasn't designed for cwm.

I tried the root explorer method, and copy / pasted to my system\media root on my fascinate.

Both did not work.

I've searched long and hard for a fix but I've been drawing up blanks.

Can someone help? Thanks!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M00NEY:
