Anyone figured out how to do cross-platform video chatting with the DS7? I know qik just updated their app so it works for us now, but I really want to be able to chat with my wife who only has a laptop. Wifi is fine.

Also, does google support video chat with the DS7?

Have u tried fring, not sure if it will work.
[Dell Streak 7] slack04:
fring, qik, skype: nope.

oovoo: it's not video chat unless you can see the video while you're chatting.

anyone have any other ideas? I assume that this will be possible in honeycomb. Anyone have any idea how long that will take? Gah. Not impressed with this thing so far.

I know how to change the unlock sliders on the framework files, but I cannot find the file location for the Answering sliders. Did anyone have any idea where are this files located?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] faber78:
did you check in say the theme you are running under the app folder inside dialer or contacts drawables?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
Are they not in drawable-hdpi?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Should be inside that folder, but not in the framework.

Should be inside phone.apk. Will either need to decompile it, change & recompile it, or insert the images with 7-zip, etc.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] BeADroid:
You might try using ninjamorph, easy way to change items without having to decompile. Its in the market.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
Heh...i just assumed he was using ninja/metamorph. If you edit the PNGs with a photoediting program, ninjamorph or metamorph will decompile and recompile them for you.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdjpurekarmax:
On my Epic 4G im having an issue. When I use the google voice input app to search it understands everything I say. Speak English to it then it types English. But when I go to text and hit the input button at the bottom ill speak to it in english and it seems its converting it to spanish/italian/ whatever the hell its saying. Already checked voice recognition settings and they are all set to english. Any idea on a Fix or what the issue is?
[Android Software Development] knightnz:
I posted this in the N1 forum but realised it applies to several platforms, so for those not reading there...

The main English porting for MIUI is no more, the site (www.miui-dev.com) is gone.

All the details are from the @MiuiDev twitter feed:

http://twitter.com/#!/miuidev

MIUI itself is still in development as usual by the original Chinese devs, the English translation has hit a major speedbump (brick wall?) with this however.

So if anyone comes across the cretins responsible for kicking this project squarely in the cojones, please repay the favour!
[Android Software Development] Bloodflame:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i think you mean nvflash vs. rom manager?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
With nvflash if your phone gets caught in a bootloop you will be able to boot into recovery and save it. If you just have clockwork intalled through RM your SOL.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Yeah I meant rom manager :p

Just edited title.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
NVFlash method truely replaces your old Recovery

Rom Manager method simply runs update.zip to simulate a custom recovery. The issue with the G2x is there is no true "stock recovery". Instead it simply reformats your phone. What this means, basically, is that the only way to get to this custom recovery is through the OS.

This doesn't mean that the Rom Manager method won't improve over time. I actually suspect it will. However, for now NVFlash is the only way to go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypmatize:
I actually got to what seemed like a stock recovery... it had blue font and said something like android recovery...

I got into it by deleting my rom manager cwm and then told it to boot into recovery

Not sure if it means anything tho... maybe it would make it easier to flash a custom recovery without nvflash?? don't think so tho.... I haven't use android since the mytouch 3g and we used to flash through fastboot right on the phone...looks like we can't do that anymore?

*** At least I think it was through fastboot ***
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Sorry, didn't entirely mean to say that there is no stock recovery. It's just that there's no hardware way (that anyone knows of) to access it. Then, since you can't access the stock recovery through hardware, you can't access the custom recovery through hardware either....at least I wasn't able to. Now that I have NVFlash, I can't really test any further either ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andonnguyen:
So how would you reboot into recovery after using the NVflash method?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceas909:
That same function gets you in to the factory recovery as well, when not rooted, its the first thing I tried when I got my G2x.. holding power and vol. down until the LG screen pops up then the little android with the box comes up.. from there i believe i either pushed vol. up or down.. I'm betting it was down.. and you get in to factory recovery. The only thing is when I exited the factory recovery, the phone did a factory reset on reboot.

just think of the fun we could have winding up are friends and all the iphone fan boys ;) e.g:-

[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
is the charge light on the cord green or orange?

try holding in the power button for 20 secs
[Nook Color General] Cporcelli:
Orange? I got it to turn on, try charge all night again.
[Nook Color General] minotauri:
if your battery is low, you should use the stock charger (which lights up red/orange/yellow/green) and use the wall adapter, not your pc. i think this gives it the needed power boost to charge it past that 15% threshold.
[Nook Color General] Cporcelli:

[Galaxy S II General] awesome-member:
yeah its crappy. its the worst phone ever made.:p

but on a serious note the font does not look look as smooth as i thought it would. may be i expected too much of this device. what i am really pleased with device is that it does not have the blueish ting that we saw on first sgs. the audio on sgs2 is much better compared to the sgs stock. the FM in sgs2 has bass unlike the original sgs. yesterday evening i did notice a slight 'Hiss' sound when i was using few apps to connect to web but i tried to recreate the 'Hiss' sound again today but i couldn't(no hiss). the sgs 2 is has very good audio but its just i prefer sound signature from voodoo(you may prefer sgs2 its all down to individual ).

again its my FIRST impression
[Galaxy S II General] fallenguru:
*bump*

I'd really like to know what the SGS2's audio specs are. The measured specs of the stock setup and the theoretical ones, i. e. those on the chip's datasheet, would both be very interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
The chip in there is this one, with a standard ALSA driver:

<6>[ 1.117629] ALSA device list:
<6>[ 1.117642] #0: C1-YMU823 (mc1n2)

I didn't find datasheet for it. It's probably a new design specifically done for Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
Still interested by help for audio measurements though!
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
I want a Wolfson (or anything as good) portable USB DAC too!
[Galaxy S II General] bendispo:
Supercurio, I'm really thankful for all your efforts and talents, and hope you'll be able to do some amazing things... :)

I agree with you that it's difficult to discern the audible differences in DAC's used optimally. If it's a software/driver issue, then I'm hopeful that you can make some big improvements. However, if it's largely hardware related (poor EMI shielding, poor power line quality, etc), I'm unfortunately less optimistic.

I tend to feel that the audible artifacts from CPU frequency changes (which are changes in the oscillations in the electrical signal in the phone) and EDGE radio noise are attributed to poor hardware design (EMI interference). I hope not, because it would leave you with a lot less opportunity to rectify or improve the situation in this respect.

In any case, I'm looking forward to what you find out! :)

For those that are really looking forward to an audiophile experience, the best option might be an external usb DAC. There's a range of high quality portable DAC/amp combinations out there, though I'm not sure how hard it is to get usb compatibility written for the SGS2. Also, Wolfson isn't the only game in town. AD (Analog Devices) and TI (Texas Instruments) make some extremely high quality DACs used in very expensive audiophile equipment.

Anyway, to give you an idea:

http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread...nal-upsampling-24-96-usb-dac-pre-order-thread

btw, the headamp pico above does in fact use a wolfson dac. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Is it me or changing data mode from gsm only to wcdma and vice versa causes sound to change?

Its almost like sound stage gets altered when on edge and it sounds like you are hearing sound through piece of paper between your iem and ear. (kinda dping effect). Experiencing this with nx700 in HSPA+ coverage area.

Sent magically from Samsung Galaxy S 2.
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
I guess you hear GSM/EDGE radio noise.

Its kind of obvious on sensitive isolating in-ears.
[Galaxy S II General] fallenguru:
Such a device, while tiny, would still ruin the portability of the whole setup for me. At $500 the value proposition goes out of the window also. I might as well carry a dedicated mp3 player, then.
[Galaxy S II General] bendispo:
I don't necessarily disagree, though a couple people mentioned interest in a portable USB DAC. I just wanted to show what some audiophiles are doing in terms of portable audio. The dac in my link is at another level from most portable mp3 players, especially in terms of having the power to authoritatively drive high-impedance headphones. :)

There are also, of course, cheaper models based on the same concept--using the usb to pass out a digital signal to a dedicated dac/amp.
[Galaxy S II General] Demiourgos:
+1

supercurio it would be cool if there was a way to pass Galaxy S2 internals and push the signal to my Fiio E7 via usb! That would be a killer set.

[Galaxy S II General] jay_993:
Seriously... Why can't Samsung put in their BEAUTIFUL Soundalive technology into this BEAUTIFUL phone?!
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
The noise goes away as soon as I switch to HSPA (2100Mhz WCDMA Band). Its definitely there when I am on 1900Mhz EDGE network. Wifi or Bluetooth does not cause any problems as far as I can tell.

There is significant interfearance / dampning of sound in EDGE mode. Its definitely changes signature of the sound output regardless of the IEM used.

Those on HSPA/HSPA+ has little less to worry about. But yeah, bummer if you are on EDGE for the price you pay.

I do really miss voodoo sound quality, I've installed dsp manager for now to try improve quality a bit. I don't think its all that bad. Lol
[Galaxy S II General] p3t0r:
Can you use the DSP manager for the default Music app? Also, what is the difference between using DSP manager and the built-in EQ that comes with the Music app?

(First post!)
[Galaxy S II General] slitch:
Got my SGS2 about a hour or so.

I tested the audio quality using a Senheiser's HD25 and Klipsch Image S4 and compared it to my SGS with voodoo v8 (donated version).

I tested it using .flac files like One Republic - Secrets, Neon Trees - Animal and the likes of it, but also alot of house, electro and hardstyle.

First of all the SGS2 has a louder, more punchy bass but not annoying in any way. Normally I prefer a more 'natural' sound but this is ok.

Once you up the volume above 10 and you can hear some distortion. On levels 13 to 15 its just awfull.

The SGS sounds way better than the SGS2 on higher volume levels, but on lower volumes I prefer the SGS2. Hearing is personal after all.

Compared to the SGS before supercurio was awakened, the SGS2 sounds alot better.

If there is room to improve, I'm sure it will be comparible to the SGS Voodoo v8 for most people.
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
I'm using cm7 music player with dsp.
[Galaxy S II General] vestaxman:
I have to agree with slitch, I also own some hd-25 70 ohm and i like the sgs2 sound more than voodoo v8. The sgs sounds a bit muddy on complicated tracks when the sgs2 highs are alot cleaner. I think the sgs2's preamp stage is not good though because as soon as you turn the bass on the eq there is distortion at any volume.

GrubDAC

The GrubDAC is a very good solution in the DIY area. It involves some soldering that is not for those faint-of-heart. But once you got it covered, wow, what a sound this beauty offers...

And yes, it is based on a Wolfson WM8524 DAC! ;)

Of course you need to get an amp as well so the portability is somewhat compromised. But I use this in combo with a small headphone amp at home and at work with great results (with a laptop). You should keep in mind that the space these litte boxes take up is in exchange for audio that mobile phones will have a hard time to beat. The components in these DIY projects are handpicked for ultimate quality. For a great amp, why not start with a classic CMoy and then when you are getting the hand of it maybe a Pimeta. I am quite sure the combo will beat any mobile phone or MP3 player out there if you can live with the bulkiness. The smartest solution is to combine the USB DAC with the amp in the same casing of course.

Btw, I have seen news about the new support for USB host in Andoid 3.1. What is the situation for the Samsung S II?? Can I use an USB DAC like above with an USB OTG cable and Sammy Galaxy S II? This is my ultimate goal (beside using the internal audio whenever mobilty is most needed).

P.S I was not allowed to post the links as a new member of the forum. Sorry. Google on CMoy and Tangent for the CMoy and Pimeta links, GrubDAC and Beezar for the other link.
[Galaxy S II General] Miracle1980:
Is there substantial difference from poweramp with dsp and CM7 with DSP?

Thanks

@SLITCH

The problem is that we NEED to use it with volume on 13\14... I really hope that this will be fixed.

Otherwise i'll be forced to buy a Sansa Clip+ and bring with me everytime....
[Galaxy S II General] =dave=:
i really cant understand, how people are able to listen to music that loud (volume of 13+).

even if i turn up the volume to ~10 (in the standard music app, which i dont use) it feels so loud to me that i have to lower the volume.

maybe i have very sharp ears, and thats the cause for me not understanding these high volume levels.. i hear noises, other people, friends of mine and family would never hear, until i tell them about and they start to listen very very closely, while everything around them has to be absolutely silent :D
[Galaxy S II General] kradcliffe:
Put simply it is to do with the impedance of your headphones. Some cheap ones are loud but poor quality, however more expensive cans need more oomph to push the volume to them. You also need more volume when listening in the street and on buses / trains. This is completely different to listening to the phone in a silent environment like at home.

I would say at full volume it's about 80% of where I would like it to be .... it's nice to have some overhead to avoid distortion and not to run the amp at 100%

If we could get the same level of output the SGS gives with the Voodoo sound mod then I will be a very happy man. Any news Supercurio? :)
