[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I noticed this as well. Sound on calls is very low, when I listen to Pandora it is very low. I used to have a Mytouch Slide and when I listened to Pandora in my car my car radio was at volume 14 and it was loud. With the G2x playing Pandora in my car my car radio is on like 24 to match the same loudness as my Mytouch Slide on volume 14. This is with the G2x volume on max. Really disappointing. I did see a thread somewhere on here about changing the volume through a hidden menu but the values were hexadecimals or something and I'm not sure what they should be tweaked to. If anyone has any insight please share!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
The app listed below works great for sound through the headphone jack.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Does this work for bluetooth headsets as well? I noticed that was quite low as well with headset volume on max and phone on max.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I haven't tried it, but if I had to guess I'd say no.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
How do you do that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
DTS is only available for when your watching videos or music. Does not effect call volume or anything else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
I see. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
I rebooted my phone and the volume seemed to fix it self. Also I had to pull the battery out after charging while on because it was just a black screen. Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
It was the dts. It defaults to on. I'm pretty sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dalepa:
I had the exact same low volume problem. Removing the battery fixed the sound issue too.. I got a new phone anyway which also fixed my slow to connect problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Are you on stock ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Thanks for this....great little APP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Unfortunately, to answer a question earlier in the thread, it does not work with bluetooth; in fact, it mutes the sound completely over bluetooth when it is enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
Also doesn't work with gb I think...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
Yea. I am.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
OK listen u have a dts error. Take ur phone back. That's why it fixes sometimes. Just saying. U wont fix the dts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
So what do I tell them when I walk in the store? I have not had anymore problems since then. Is this a problem that will occur again? Just trying to see what are my options.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Yes. Tell the almost of the malfunction and say you just want a working phone. And you need the speaker to work. And you paid for a phone with a working speaker as advertised.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
Yea probably going to go that this week because just had my phone not wanting to turn back on. Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 General] stevicc:
can please someone help me?? i had floyo 0.15 and i wanted to upgrade to 0.20. i did wipe cache and than i restored only system partition. after i did reboot, my google account just disappeared. i don´t know why, but i can´t create new one so there is no market or gtalk for me. is there anyone with this problem or it´s just me?
[XPERIA X8 General] hbali:
I got this problem ,and i couldnt make it work.i restored everything .
[XPERIA X8 General] wujekandrzej:
i belive that racht said that you can't restore only system partition without losing google apps - so there's no way to update your floyo that way, you won't run away from a full wipe. but hey, it is worth it, and titanium backup doesn't bite.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] infamous14:
Ok so i dont know exactly what happened, but something did. I try to boot it up but i get an error that say the aplication(%1$s) has unexpcetedly quit and it just stays there vibrating. Now i have gotten to the 3e recovery menu and i did put update.zip on the sd card but it starts and then stops and it says it cant be verified. I tried putting into download and recovery mode but i cant. I cant replace or return the phone either. I have adb but when i plug it in it just comes up as an unknown device on windows and is never fully recognized. Please someone help me get this thing fixed. Idc about data being erased i just want to fix it. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Any more details you can provide about what was done on the device before this happened will help.

When trying to boot into download mode what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Yes please more detail will help us help you.

And when you go into dl mode what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] infamous14:
Update: (i rooted with the oneclickroot if that helps anyone)

Well as i said im not quite sure what happened my friend said he was going to put stuff on there and long behold boom there it is. And as for download mode i cant go into it, and i mean i have tried like a kabillion times( sorry for fourth grade talk) and nothing ever happens it just boots into 3e recovery menu or it goes to that screen, neither of which i can do anything about. is there anyway for me to just reset everything or have windows recognize so i can use odin? any sort of mode that i could get into unless you guys can help me get into dl mode or recovery mode(besides the 3e)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] infamous14:
no one knows anything? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
It's kinda hard without know exactly what your friend was doing on the phone.

Have you read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069032? And tried the different methods suggested?

If you can boot into recovery you should be able to boot into download mode without any issues.

ODIN will only work if you are in download mode, also if you do the steps to get into download mode and you don't see download mode, but just like a backlit screen:

Open odin, and plug the phone in via USB, odin should still recognize the phone as being plugged in.
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
Right now I'm running H57 with JT's 4/15 voodoo kernel. For the past few weeks my battery life has been miserable. I've tried several different Kernels, wiping, data, cache, dalvick cache, and battery stats. Ever since the bad battery life, I've noticed that the Android OS is consuming much larger battery percents than it used to 30-50%. It used to stay around 5% or less. Also I been using CPU spy for a couple weeks. My CPU seems to spend almost all of its time at 800 Mhz for some reason. It will not power down to 100 Mhz even if I turn it on and leave it in my pocket for a few hours. Today i've burned 80% of my battery in 5 hrs while it sat in my pocket during an exam. Any advice on what I can do or check to see what exactly the problem is?
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
Im not quite sure what the issue could be but I can suggest a program called osmonitor that might help you narrow down what rogue process is eating away. i recently just upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 as well. I am running JTs 4.15 voodoo kernel. My battery seems about the same so far as 2.1, maybe something with H57 ?
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
Yeah, I can try another rom. It was happening prior to H57 though. I've been on 2.2 for a while now. 2.2 was running great at first. It happened while on PNP. At first it was amazing on battery. I don't remember changing anything specific to ruin my battery life. To the best of my knowledge it occurred after flashing OTB on PNP. I'll download osmonitor and see what i can find. Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
I'm pretty much stock / rooted w voodoo and about same as eclair check the misc section in osmonitor for cpu scaling
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
Here's a screen shot.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Er you're roaming?
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
Yeah, I'm pretty much always roaming. No USCC in Raleigh where I go to school. The only time i'm not is when I go back home, which is not a whole lot anymore.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
That is likely why your battery life sucks. The phones is constantly trying to find a better signal. Also, USCC doesn't always enforce this but they do have a clause in the contract that they can shut down your line for using it more than 50% of the time outside of their network. Just something to keep in mind.
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
Yeah, I've heard that, but I've had uscc up here for 3 years now. It used to be fine up here. I've had it in raleigh for 6 months and it just start acting up about 2 or 3 weeks ago.
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
I'm going to be in uscc service for about 3 weeks here. I'll see if it makes a difference.
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
And the answer is no. I charged the phone over night. Left to fish at 5:30 this morning. Unplugged the phone and turned it on when I left, turned off tasker just to be sure that wasn't causing the issue, and left the phone on the table at home. Back at 3:30, phone at 35% not even using it. I can't find anything using osmonitor. When I look at it, osmonotor is usually using the largest amount of resources.
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
And in 30 minutes it has dropped another 10%.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Battery life is not something people can fix for you, there are too many factors that affect it, u just need to troubleshoot. I've had various results with different roms but typically it is your usage and the apps on your phone that are culprit
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
I completely understand that. That's why I spent a couple weeks troubleshooting to try and find out what the problem was. Like I said I can leave the phone on all day and never use it and the battery still sucks, so It's not usage. I can not find any apps that are consuming much battery. The only thing I changed between good battery and bad is from JT's voodoo kernel to OTB. Android OS and System began to use 60% of the battery and a 5 minute phone call will burn 5-10 %. I said that sucks, switched back to JT's kernel problem still persists trying different roms and kernels. That's why I posted this to see if something could have been messed up when flashing to OTB.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2life:
I need good headphones for my Vibrant, there is a guy how is selling OEM galaxy s ones cheap. Can I use Galaxy S headphones, does everything work?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotodefonk:
No, the headset made for I9000 galaxy S will NOT work on a vibrant, although any headset made for iphone will work, so there is a lot of headsets to select from.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
If you are looking for an audiophile-grade sound, try these:

http://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-Earbud...XE/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1305152211&sr=8-15

They are the BEST you can do in terms of sound quality for in-ear headphones. The microphone is also fully compatible with this phone. They are not cheap but trust me when I say you will love the build quality (all metal and cloth wire) and sound quality (best you can get with small headphones really).

I had mine for over 6 months now and still impressed with them when you tune them right with PowerAmp.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotodefonk:
Im sorry but they are not "the BEST". They are, however, a "good quality for price" headphones, but there are much better headsets than this one. In my experience my etymotic HF2 sound better than those, although the V-Moda are cheaper. There much higher quality options but the price go for 200 bucks or more.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Hello everyone.

My friend wants to root his HTC Wildfire but the volume down key doesnt work. Its not a software error as it cant even boot into recovery when you hold it down and try to start the phone at the same time. I know I'm trying to access recovery right as I did it on my own DHD. Is there any way that his device can be rooted or fixed cheaply?

Thanks.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EchoVelocity:
Best bet would be to take it to a phone repair shop nearby.....
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Ok, I will tell him that. Thanks for the reply.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f0xy:
Warranty?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
He bought it from eBay, so no warranty. He said he's going to get the volume button fixed next week most likely.

its a Debian based linux OS

ill test it for you what exactly is works /not?

wi-fi?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
as already indicated completely off topic.

there is some discussion in this regard going on in Q&A section however it look preety difficult...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] slimm609:
Wireshark and ettercap are both sniffers. And one is already included so if you want to compile wireshark then download all the source and deps and do it but myself and I'm assuming the backtrack devs (since they didn't include it) feel that ettercap and tcpdump are enough.

If its not in the repo then your pretty much on your own.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
my issue is not just about wireshark. That's just an example.

In the current repo, there are lot of missing tools and libraries.

We need those libraries to compile ANY-thing.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
we need to understand the BT ARM edition is in a very nacent form and as such doesn't contains all what we need.

in case you are willing to experiment please add ubuntu arm repositories and from there you may get most of the stuff you need.

also if you feel something is missing its open community just compile if you can and provide deb packages for others to use....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] slimm609:
++

The repos contain everything that is needed for the tools included. we are currently much more worried about fixing the issues with it running on devices other than the Xoom and making it run faster/smoother on those devices.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
cross posting back to my own thread.

i tried following command combination

# ifconfig wlan0 down

# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

and i am getting errors which means only one thing that wifi drivers right now doesn't support monitor mode.

can anyone look at the standard kernel modules and see if we can recompile the module with support for monitor mode......

I hope this wifi card do support monitor mode.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] slimm609:
do you know which card it uses?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
x10 uses the Atheros ar6000 module...

i think even ZTE Blade has the same one
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
Ah, does ubuntu arm have repositories ? where can I find the URL for these repos ?

Thanks in advance...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
file name is /etc/apt/sources.list

just uncomment the lines for ubuntu arp repository.

NOTE: keep in mind BT5 is using 10.04 or Lucid Lynx as base so please enable the corresponding repo's only.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
just checked ubuntu forum and found this

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/wireshark

Looks like wireshark is available directly on ubuntu arm port so just download and install it.

EDIT : http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/openmoko-kernel/2008/9/18/3331774/thread

Looks depressing to me with regards to monitor mode.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
thanks.

but I couldn't find out. each line in sources.list includes "lucid" ; so shall I enable all ?

there are :

lucid main

lucid universe

lucid microverse

which one ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
for your understanding.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

and ya you can enable all... however keep in mind that many softwares will have conflict with backtrack repositories....

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:

2) make update.zip for scripts and sucessive updation on them.

3) make image publically available from my server as a single file.

4) enhance scripts to allow for more better control over chrooted system

5) far fetched but looking at other chrootable os specially meego

Besides this i also need to update the img file with each and every thing that is available at BT repos and check each software if it works or not and on that basis create a fresh image which has best of the best.
