[HD2 General] IWR:
Does anyone have the lowdown on whether the HD2 sold in Europe suffers from the dreaded "EU volume limiter" and if so, is it limited to 100dB or 85dB?

Been a few threads on this subject already, and interestingly some people say they don't experience the problem, others do.

Currently using stock ROM 3.14.206.1 and wondered if the ROM version might make a difference.

I find that the supplied earbuds are quite loud but poor quality. They seem to be more sensitive than most standard headsets. If you substitute a decent headset the volume is just adequate on loud pop tracks with all controls maxed-out. It's too quiet to be usable on classical though, or on any low-level recordings. The same headset gives plenty volume on my HTC Wizard, as do a set of TDK earbuds.

I solved Android flashed 2.3.3 and using the original player with an app called Music fx, wow, it's a totally different world!
[HD2 General] IWR:
Was thinking of testing it with Android on the SD card anyway as that would pin down whether it's a software or hardware/firmware issue. From what you say it sounds like it's in the OS, so in principle it should be fixable.

Tried using TCPMP instead of WMP and this seems to indicate the player software isn't the cause.

I'd rather keep WM6.5 as the main OS for the moment as I've quite a few good apps.

Anyway, I've asked HTC if they can confirm whether this example has volume limiting or not. If yes, I'll be poking-around for a crack. :eek:

Strangely, results seem to vary between one startup and another. Last night I had it playing acceptably at 3/4 volume but today it's reverted to needing everything at max.

I do not believe there is any app that will do the overclocking if you do not want to flash anything. The overclock option has to be enabled in the kernel and stock kernel does not have that option.

Pilot x rom?

Speedmod does not let you oc/uv. You would need to flash a new kernel that allows overclocking, and then download Voltage control to enable / control it.

Btw, if you are on a rom / kernel that is other than stock, you have already flashed... So why do you not want to flash again?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Alganon:
Hi,

most of the ROMs out there are already zipaligned and have a init script that zipaligns User Apps on boot.

I'm currently using Hyperdroid CM7 and before flashing, I added some apps to system.

So I'm guessing that this apps won't be automatically zipaligned during boot?

If I'm right about that, how do I (manually?) zipalign my added system apps???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kam333:
Hey

The script should check at boot, all files & zipalign any that are not done in the data/app, system/app & system/framework dir'

but your better off checking with the rom chef to see if he has included all directories

if you want to zipalign any apk yourself, you can use apk manager, its fairly straight forward to use.

if you havent already got it...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Alganon:
ok, I just checked the zipalign log and the zipalign script. Seems like only user apps are automatically zipaligned.

So I'm going to use apk manager to zipalign the few apps I manually added to the system.

i've heard that android has the best games ,so i recently installed android on my raph but i cant get any of the good games to work (nfs,asphalt,etc...)

can anyone tell the best working android games on raphael

n advance
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sure, Android is good for games - but you're trying to play them on an ancient device that doesn't really run Android flawlessly yet. Even if your RAPH did run Android flawlessly, the specs on it would prevent (almost) any game from running well.

Native devices have this same problem. Try playing those same games you listed above on a similarly specc'd Android device - like say the G1. It'll be awful, just like it is on your RAPH.

So the games with low gfx requirements are best - I like Labyrinth :p

i don't agree with you

the same perfermance game(or just a same game) for example:need for speed 13 on the wm my raphael can run it but on the android device it NEED a higher

hard ware except the game of the gameloft android don't have any huge games(angary bird? it just a 2d GAME)

the 3d game on wm for example

Xtrakt

can you belive it run only with a 528mhz cpu not 1ghz

so i think sometimes android wastes the hardware
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Then use WinMo. I don't care, I'm just telling you how I feel about the subject. It's my opinion, you can disagree with me. Doesn't mean you're right. Doesn't mean I'm right. All I know is a lot of games require OpenGLES2.0, which our hardware flat out does not support.

The gaming frameworks for WinMo are completely different. C'est la vie.

[General Questions and Answers] scre80:
I am using a samsumg galaxy tab to conduct WIFI site surveys of both work and other wireless networks. The issue is that it can only see hidden networks / ssid's which the device is connected to. If there is a network next door and it is hidden, the device can not see it. I have been using wifi analyser and wifi manger, plus tried many other apps but none of them could see the hidden networks.

From what I can tell, android can not see hidden wireless networks (unless you know about them and connect to them). Is this correct? if so, has anyone come up with a workaround or fix? I know from a PC, there is many apps that I use to see all these networks. It is just easier to take the tab then to take a laptop. I also use it to identify faulty AP's, works a treat if you know the network.

Thankyou.
[General Questions and Answers] JDLMaster:
I also have faced the same problem with my HTC Hero! :S
[General Questions and Answers] frosty_ice:
Per default a hidden network can not be seen because it doesn't broadcast it's SSID. If you know the SSID though, you can connect to the network.

WiFi stumblers that show hidden networks basically just grab packets from the air and grab the SSID from them. (simplified explanation)
[General Questions and Answers] scre80:
I understand that hidden network do not broadcast the SSID, however they still broadcast management frames that a WIFI analyser can pick up. For example, on a PC using netstumbler, you can see AP's without the SSID being broadcasted. This at least shows you what AP's are in adjacent buildings, channel they are on and their mac address, regardless if the network is hidden or not. I am wanting to know, if there is an app around that can do the same but on the Galaxy Tab.

I am not trying to connect to these networks, I am just wanting to know if they are or might be interferring with out company's wireless network. (ie same channel)

[General Questions and Answers] scre80:
You can connect to hidden networks if you know the SSID, however I am trying to see all hidden networks around me without connecting to them. The same as you can do with netstumbler on a laptop. I have tried the netstumbler android app and this can also not see hidden networks. So far, all apps I have tried can not see them. I am thinging this might be a restriction of Android. Can anyone confirm this?
[General Questions and Answers] m3t4lw01f:
I haven't found one that does either, but like I said my phone doesn't seem to be able to even connect to a wifi with hidden SSID, so that may be why for me.

I have a buddy with a Xoom here at work, I'll see what he says. It runs Honeycomb though, so not an apples to apples comparison.

:Title edited to fit the outcome.

The boot loader will never be broken and the x10 will always be dead in the water.

Finding the right info on any parts in the X10 is a pain in the butt.

And starting a thread that is working on any "locked" features begins a maul of trolling and flaming.

It has made me hate not just my x10 but "apple, sony, se & android"

This phone was supposed to be my pride and joy for my birthday and all it's doing now is make me feel sad.

Why is it so hard? why is all the info on everything within the device so deeply "Hush, hush" ?

What is happening?

Why are the other devices getting unlocked and not the x10?

Why are the other devices getting 3.0 and not the x10?

Why do i have to feel like i have a sniper rifle pointed at my head?

This phone.. this phone has awesome hardware and it's being squashed to be weak.

I can't help feel that alot of so called users here have a different mission from what x10 developers are trying to do here at XDA.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
You said you were leaving xda and giving away your X10....so why do you care anyways???
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
That has nothing to do with this.

Please stay on topic.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Ok, fair enough

Yes, the X10 was released on a already outdated OS.....but it is what it is.

And for a phone that was released on 1.6 and went to 2.1 and now soon going to 2.3 gingerbread.....i dont think thats bad at all.

When 2.3 is released by SE, all the devs here will be able to give us better gingerbread roms via xrecovery. Probably with everything working perfectly. At the same time, they'll be working on making the custom kernal flawless. Im a happy user if you ask me.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
Bootloader's been bypassed, which is as good as it getting cracked.

SE is releasing 2.3, on a handset that is 1.5 years old and not even their flagship device anymore. In such a fast moving world, that is admirable.

Custom ROMs are still aplenty, and Trip has even made breakthroughs with Camera and Video camera in gingerbread. for a 1.5 year phone, the X10 has a huge community.

The X10 is now an old phone, but it was ahead of its time. Even today its specs are great, and it's probably one of the best value for money phones out there.

I really don't understand what you're saying, because all you're saying makes no sense or is wrong.

Android 3.0 is primarily a Tablet OS, it's silly to put it on the X10. YET, some devs have managed to do that!

There's an X10 parts thread right here in the forum, but I'm not sure how that'll help you.

ok, go, fine, but you're just fooling yourself. The X10 has an amazing community with some of the best devs out there. To be able to make such a security-ridden device great is a challenge, and they went up to it and did it.

The next couple of months is going to breath even more life into the X10 as more functions are added to the custom kernels. I'm sure that we will get 16M colors soon (hell, even SE might put it in the 2.3 update)

The X10 is going out with a bang, and even in the twilight of its 'career' is still strong out there and will continue to become better and better as it ages.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Ok.. cool.

But i was informed by stvmook that the custom kernel has limits.
[XPERIA X10 General] Blagus:
Of course that bypass isn't as good as crack... because this method still depends on /system folder - if it's corrupted, recovery is gone, custom boot.img is gone...

However, as always, zdzihu came with good news - he revealed all partitions on NAND via custom kernel - including bootloader. Let's hope something will happen ;) :D

I would say that X10 have came a long way for a phone that was completely locked down.

I still believe that further developments will be made.

However, I think that the phone is great and does everything that I want as of current development.

It really depends on what your idea of a "perfect phone"
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:
Why Is our perfect device being locked down
[XPERIA X10 General] icet925:
Well, you raised a good question. I will try and answer that.

Large corporations need to feed on power by having control of everything.

They need control because they don't want people to have freedom with their devices. If your X10 can do everything, then how are they going to earn the same amount profit in the future.? This is called "planned obsolescence". It is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Phones are purposely design less than perfect, so they have a limited life. This is one of the reasons why our x10 was locked down. I am glad that sony decided to free their future devices. I think they want us to buy an arc.
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:
Exactly. So they have limited our devices which we bought. And have not fully supported it which is unfair
[XPERIA X10 General] icet925:
It is the completely the works of the devs here that we are able to have a decent phone.

Thinking back on the days with 1.6 and no dual touch. It was just disgusting and I thought Sony was bloody evil. The wait for the 2.1 was just a killer. But hey, I made the choice to purchase this phone. So I ain't complaining.

At least Sony learned that if they kept the things they were, they will lose all their fan base.

Now i'm rocking wolfbreak's 2.2 rom and I love it a lot.
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:
If a phone is capable and these capabilities and added due to not wanting to make the phone good enough to triumph newer models is evil
[XPERIA X10 General] icet925:
Every phone is planned to be like that, even the latest versions of xperia or even iphones. That's why I don't think it's necessary to catch on to the "latest technology" which isn't exactly the "latest". They always have to be one step ahead of us. This is the whole point of profiteering. They've got the technology, we don't. This is where we are at and it will continue on.
