[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mreshetar:
Hi - I just downloaded the latest Manual Nooter and applied it to my NC. My market visability seems fine, but when I select an app to download it just hangs there and nothing happens. Anyone have a fix for this? I haven't seen an answer to this anywhere.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbuggydroid:
i am having the same issue too
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbuggydroid:
well i rebooted with memory card removed and the apps installed fine. when i inserted memory card it stop installing apps. still looking for answers on how to fix

not really liking the rom too well. having a hard time restoring my apps with titanium and the whole process to install non market apps is a pain. hope the fix it with future releases.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehempel:
Same issue here, with and without the SD CARD. Went from a stock 2.1 no rooting to the ManualNooter 4.5.6.

Trying to install Perfect Viewer and ASTRO File Manager.

I get the "download unsuccessful" which was supposedly fixed with ManualNooter 4.5.6.

*sigh* just going to wait until an AutoNooter comes out, I'm tired of check back all the time, seeing updates, and them not working.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlovesu:
i m also facing the same problem....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Hang in there. Market on mine (after MN 4.5.6) crashes when downloading/updating on occasion but like most early releases it's like a game of "Whack-A-Mole"...fix one thing and two others pop up. I'm positive GabrialDestruir and HamNCheese are working on the irritants and forging ahead. FWIW mine runs well (OC 1.1 also) on both except for the pissy Market (but like I said it works nevertheless).
[Acer Iconia A500] rog152:
I cannot for the life of me find any little mic holes on this thing. Anyone find any, did they use the reset hole to house the mic in?
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Hold it in landscape and in the middle top part of the glass there is a small slit where the glass meets the bezel. There's ur mic.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Wouldn't that be funny if people are reporting low mic volume because they have their thumb over the mic.
[Acer Iconia A500] rog152:
Thanks, but I just do not see it, even with my glasses on
[Acer Iconia A500] julz:
it's there - very small slit about 5mm long or less.

Have you applied a screen protector? If so then it may be covering the hole - I didn't even know the mic was there but luckily my screen protector isn't blocking it
[Acer Iconia A500] talltimbers:
Mic

Picked up the Acer tab cover at Staples on Wed. It has a small round opening for the Mic on the upper bezel directly below the space between the volume rocker and the screen lock. If you look close you can spot the small grill cover.
[Acer Iconia A500] jedi5diah:
the small gap is there look carefully...Julz is right
[Acer Iconia A500] rog152:
I think I found it. Is it located UNDER the glass by the lock rotation switch. Or is that the light sensor?
[Acer Iconia A500] jimbobtexas:
That's the light sensor. If you've got the Acer case, it's directly underneath the Velco circle on the case. :/
[Acer Iconia A500] Dalrimple:
There are actually 2 mics on the Acer... Check inside the SD-cover too, in the lower corner theres a little circle, I believe that's the echo-cancel mic. I believe that mic subtracts output from the speaker from the main mic's signal. Could be wrong about that - but we definitely have 2 mics on the unit.
[Acer Iconia A500] dawizel:
Sad, just sad. Old man can't find the hole. Maybe you should ask the wife.
[Acer Iconia A500] rog152:
I understand that is the light sensor.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Well, okay, technically I'm not actually even totally sure what soft-bricked means, but while I can get to both a fastboot screen and into what appears to be CWM (orange recovery with more options than blue), my phone is hanging on the Google boot screen.

Here's what I did.

I have a rooted Nexus S that was running 2.3.3 stock. The OTA update notification came up today, so I allowed it. But then it seemed to hang for, like, half an hour.

So I pulled the battery and allowed it to reset. Which was fine, no biggie. I still had 2.3.3, but no longer had root. So I flashed the GRI40 superboot. Still fine. But I no longer had an update, and it was still 2.3.3.

So I flashed CWM and went to the 2.3.3 stock image. CWM downloaded said image, didn't seem to have any problems, and I clicked to wipe the cache and dalvik.

And now it won't boot beyond the Google screen. But like I said, I'm on fastboot screen now (unlocked) and seem to still have clockwork. Nothing else, though, and there's nothing on my sd card. I know, I know, the lack of back up is a noob mistake.

Help? I'd really just like to get to stock but rooted 2.3.4.

A couple of the other threads by people with hard bricks (problem today?) mentioned Odin as problematic. It's okay to use?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Also, I have to admit, I see a lot of discussion of Odin in the forums, and have Googled it, but I don't actually know what it is or how to use it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
Odin is the Fkash program from samsung to flash the lhine first time :)

you have CWM? no need of odin!

reboot into cwm --> mounts & storage --> mount usb

search a the deoxed 2.3.4 rom and download it..

also search the forum for superuser binary to flash

then wipe system and cache

flash zip first the rom then superuser

reboot

have fun :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Okay. Almost there, I think.

You're right about CWM. I got it mounted okay, and get a drive on my computer, into which I can copy a zip and then unmount. At which point I get:

Installing {whichever zip I try. So far, I've tried Nandroid Stock 2.3.4_rooted and 2.3.2 GRH78c}

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

That's as far as I get right now. And I'm not touching anything. I wiped the data and cache. Do I have to further mount/unmount anything?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
wipe system too? :/

do you have the latest recovery?

maybe you have a nandroid backup anywhere?

else download one at the dev section i think are enough backups

copy one to /clockwork/backup/***DATE***

hope that fixes your problem :S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbamade:
Just download the 2.3.4 (stock rooted) file on here...in the de section...

its a nandroid back up

then just put it in the clockworkdmod/ folder on your phone

reboot into recovery and restore it

viola!

thats what i did to get mine rooted...its way easier than trying to actually root it!

edit: yeah what the post above mine said...lol..didnt see that posted yet!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Okay. Followed guidance. Still hanging but maybe getting closer.

I made a backup of the borked system, and then went into the clockwork folder and created a new folder within the backups. I unzipped the 2.3.4root ROM and renamed the folder to almost the same name as the borked system. I then tried to restore that.

I got an MD5 fail? I'm not sure what that means.

Maybe I should replace all the files in the legit-made backup with the files from 2.3.4?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Awesome! I got it! I went and got Axura's 2.3.3 stock/rooted and installed that from the zip. I don't know why the other two aborted, but this one worked. So it looks like I've got rooted stock 2.3.3 again!

I'm not so sure I'm going to try for 2.3.4 now.

Thanks for the help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
Hello,

It might be just a placebo effect on me.

Has anybody heard any difference in sound quality between the stock music player of froyo and the stock music player of gingerbread?

I know that there will be suggestions that I try after-market music players to hear better sound (i.e.powermax). This question of mine will only be the stock music players.

Feedback will be appreciated
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
For me it seems like the sound quality depends on the kernel and Voodo version more than anything, that including the rom and the player. The Voodoo 8 sound improvements really are sick, I'd look for a kernel running that if I were looking for quality.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasitoc:
can you give me a link to voodoo sound V8 froyo kernel?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
buy the voodoo control paid app, then you won't have to worry about the kernel being updated to the latest voodoo sound as the app will load the latest voodoo sound modules for you.

also, it's one of the little things people can do for the people who have worked so hard at removing the limits our phone initially had and releasing the potential this phone should have had.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayebreezy:
(I just rooted my phone yesterday , so I'm not very good with it yet .)

I went to a site yesterday (since I'm new, it won't let me post the url) & saw a nice theme I liked . Since this would be my first download since I rooted my phone , I decided to put one .zip file onto my phone just to see if I could install it correctly . So I successfully installed the Twitter .zip file onto my phone & it works fine ... except it won't let me log in . :( It keeps saying " invalid username or password " when I know FOR SURE that everything is correct !

If anybody has any answers / solutions , I'd be grateful . :)

(And please , keep the terms simple .. I'm only 16 and totally new to this . Lol .)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Why are you using a twitter.zip file and where did you get it. I suggest you uninstall it? Start the Market app that should already be on your phone and download whatever Twitter app you want that is available for android devices. It is much safer. Since you're new to rooting, get into the habit of going into your recovery and making a nandroid backup of your system prior to making any changes. By doing so, you can always revert to what you had prior to making the changes. Furthermore, make sure that whatever zip file you want to flash is made specifically for the rom you're flashing it to.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzmo:
Hey guys,

I'm a telecom admin, and recently we've been having a few Atrix users complaining about no copy and paste at all in any email app besides Gmail (They're looking to copy the contents of email messages)

My Guess was that it was the crappy Motorola email app that replaces the usual stock email App on android, so I side-loaded the stock email .apk onto the phone and it looks like the Copy and Paste feature STILL isn't there even with the stock email installed

Rooting really isn't an option here (otherwise I wouldn't be posting this!) So do you guys have any Ideas? Is it just something on Motorola's end I we have to wait for?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

[XPERIA X8 General] CaptainZap:
If your phone does not charge with the standard charger, you should search for a chinese charger for the battery. I'm pretty sure you can find them allover, they are used to charge only the battery like this one shown in this video.

OKay..Could you tell us what excactly screw??Software??So what???Close Your phone and then use PC Companion: Connect your phone to your PC and turn it on.

Then charge it...If not,you have problem with your battery and not phone...

[Streak 5 General] xofbj:
I've seen so many different reports on battery life of different ROMs. I am thinking maybe there's quite fair way:

1. Install a firmware;

2. Charge the phone to 100 percent;

3. Use the battery to 90 percent because 100 percent is actually very different because of charging time;

4. Count the loss percent from 90 percent during n(the longer the better) hours in airplane mode.

I am quite new to android system but find the battery life is a big problem. I donnot want to see too much battery loss when I donot use the phone. So I care more about "static power consumption".

Never tried other ROMs yet. Just rooted my streak with 15274, deleted all the unnecessary background apps, especially accuweather, It's not only useless but also won't stop.

Does anybody know how to change CPU freq dynamicly and how to change display density in this 15274?
[Streak 5 General] domcalmusic:
Droid overclock or set cpu or any other overclock app. You have to see what works for you. Changing the voltage helps to save battery a lot. Also juice defender ultimate is working well. I'm not familiar with your phone. I'm on a droid 2 running liberty rom.

Hello,

Ever since a changed the original 2.1 rom on my milestone, I can't get camera working smooth. I tried ShadowMod, CM6/7 and now, I've been using FroyoMod 2.7.0.

The camera starts recording but shows a fast and short freezing all the time. Can't get 10s record without that.

What could I do to fix that?

Would it be my class-2 sd card?

(I have tried changing the read_ahead_kb but nothing..)

Thanks in advance.

Sylvio
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ctomgee:
I would get a higher class card for other reasons anyways. Seems to help with performance on apps that you move to your SD card. But the higher class could help with your recording issues as well. I have an 8gb class 6 card, and am currently using cm7, with the MIUI camera, and have no issues recording smooth video.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ctomgee:
By the way: are you still using the SD card that came with the phone? Those are generally class 2 cards, and it's also possible it got corrupted somewhere along the way, either before or after you upgraded your phone. You may be able to save some money and just try reformatting your SD card and see if that helps.

I would *still* recommend getting a higher class SD card, regardless however. At least a class 4, but I get great performance from my class 6 card.

[Acer Iconia A500] banksia:
Using Skype, Gtalk, etc with A500.

I tried to make a call with Skype (Skype testing service) - the sound quality was poor.

Tried to make a call to another Skype user - I could hear him well, but my voice was muffled.

Solution:

Just plug in a headphone/earpiece (that has NO microphone) into the headset. You can then use the internal mic on the A500 to make your calls over Skype. The sound quality is very good in both skype and gtalk.

I did try my Iphone's earpiece, which has a mic, but the sound was muffled.

Hope this helps.

Nope It is available everywhere in the world.

If the person you are trying to reach has a video version of gtalk you should see a green camera on the side.

PS for those that do not have a video version of gtalk on their android phone you can use a free app called vtok which allows videoconferencing with gtalk client

That is what i have been using on my HTC DHD and it works great.

[Acer Iconia A500] sda.171:
My mic works flawlessy for google voice search i have no idea how?
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I think the issue is that some folks aren't used to a true noise cancelling mic. It's using a dual analog noise cancelling mic. so it's filtering noise while capturing your voice or capturing your voice 'twice' if you're using it properly/close by.

If you're trying to use the Mic in a noisy area, it may cancel some of your voice as noise unless you speak up or put it somewhat close to your face or speak directly facing it. In other words, picture yourself on a video call. When you set yourself up to be seen by the camera properly, that is ultimately when the Mic will be at it's best.

I imagine people are using it with with a phone's mic in mind but they are unfortunately not the same. A phone's mic is located as close to the mouth as possible without allowing users to blow into it. The mic on the A500 is located away/out of finger reach, primarily and directly facing your mouth.

In the end, I think the best advice for using the mic is telling you to use it like you're on a speakerphone call. Clear, precise vocalization. You can also run the best test with the Voice Recorder to kind of hear how well your voice is picked up from various angles. I found, as I mentioned before...that I am most clear in either portrait or landscape mode with the tablet roughly a foot to 18 inches from my face, similar to how I'd hold it for a web cam. I found that if I spoke as if I were using a speakerphone, I got the best results....even while the TV is on or music is playing. I lost ground however, when I lay the tablet flat on a surface or docked out of line of sight, that is, beside me or elsewhere. I also have no issues with using Google Voice Search.
