[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshieisking:
I'm running on CM7 V7.0.3. I've flashed the previous 2 versions and it was the same. And all those times I formatted everything before i flashed the new rom.

Do you think it's the rom or it's a hardware problem? The digitizer going bad perhaps? I haven't dropped the phone before and the problem is intermittent. but it's such a pain.

can anyone help me out?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcordova23:
Same thing happened to me. Took my phone to an AT&T store and they replaced it since I was still in my 1 year warranty. It was the digitizer doing out in my case. Happened after I tried cm7 too. Even unrooting didnt fix.
[Focus General] wspaw:
Tried the reg keys here (in post #6). Couldn't find a combination of values that didn't cause very irritating laggy home screen scrolling isuues.

Anyone get this working to his/her liking on a Focus?
[Focus General] jmerrey:
I'm using bpp 32 PanelBPP 24 PrimBPP 32

I have a tiny bit of lag on occasion, but it's worth it for me
[Focus General] wspaw:
Yeah, colors are MUCH better. But the scrolling lag sucks, as the fluidity is one of the major assets of the OS. I guess it's just a consequence of using last-gen hardware...
[Focus General] thealanshow:
I can't even find those keys... hmmm....
[Focus General] wspaw:
They don't exist on the Focus out of the box. You've got to create them.

Sucks that our phones can't handle the 32bit color and remain fluid.
[Focus General] raistlin_ht:
Is 24bit color selectable, and if so does that yield better performance?
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
Yes just put 24 instead of 32 win you add the key. Dword=24
[Focus General] benjammin:
I was using this with all values set to 32 on my Focus and didnt have any issues whatsoever with lag. ....But, i did have another wierd issue come up:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14323276&postcount=546

so im not using this tweak anymore.

Anyone else having GPS issues?
[Focus General] hx4700 Killer:
GPS worked fine but I have had the "Red Screen of Death" pop up and found from another thread that those who had it removed the 32bit hack and it went away.

I just pull the battery and reboot and am usually fine.
[Focus General] benjammin:
Wow... It makes no sense whatsoever but it certainly affects my GPS. Wish I were wrong. The red screen doesn't concern me really. It happens time to time but just holding the power button until it shuts off and restarting fixes it. Same as a battery pull really.
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
just out of curiosity, how did you stop using the tweak?
[Focus General] benjammin:
Just deleted the three values I added: bpp, PanelBPP, PrimBPP.
[Focus General] Funkadube:
Wow, didn't know about this fix. Just added the values and restarted. Things look very nice, the banding is gone, and I do not notice lag (as of yet). Hope it stays working this nicely...very impressed with this fix. *Also, just checked Gmaps to see if it could locate me through GPS and it found me perfectly. Not sure if it's just me, but the fix seems to work perfectly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Griff1220:
So i bought an inspire from my friend and all was good until yesterday when the volume down button stopped working on me. then after a series of crazy boots it started working again which is leading me to believe the software is effed up. Its running MDJ's Ultimate droid HD v 1.8 and is completely freaking out on me. Being new to android, i just want to flash it back to stock. Can anyone help me out? also, the volume button is again acting stupid so hopefully it starts working again.

This is the ROM/Radio RUU from the latest OTA Update (it has root though):

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Note that will not get you s-on
[HTC Inspire 4G] Griff1220:
and how do i go about flashing the non rooted one. i just want this phone to be out of the box. sorry for the noob questions, im brand new to android. And if it helps any its running a custom gingerbread 2.3.3 rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Turn off USB debugging (Settings-Applications-Development-Remove check from USB Debugging), connect phone to computer, make sure you're in Charge only mode. The file you download is in .exe, so just run the program and follow the prompts. As stated earlier, this won't turn S-Off to S-On, but you'll still have a pure stock, unrooted ROM and Radio. There's a thread somewhere that discusses getting S-On (which you'll need to do before you run RUU if you're worried about it). Give me a minute and I'll try to dig it up.

Edit:

Follow the instructions here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033353) under MISCELLANEOUS to get S-On before running the RUU. Needed files are provided.

Note: that thread says to run the RUU, then perform the modified hack kit instructions to get s-on, then run the ruu again. You should just be able start from running the hack to to step 3, running ./gfree -s on, then running the RUU - you shouldn't have to run it first.

Another note... make sure you download the hack kit from this thread. It's version 9. The newer versions worked a little differently and I don't think they use gfree to get s-off, so newer versions won't work like this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Griff1220:
What's Ruin? Why would I need to run it and what's s-off? Sorry I'm trying to learn as I go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
S-Off is Radio Security off. This is what allows you to flash custom ROMs/Radios/Kernels. Part of the root process is gaining S-Off. If you want a straight from factory set-up, you would need to return to S-On. This would only be necessary if you're returning the phone to ATT or HTC for some reason, even then it's not likely they would check this setting. You can still be S-On and run the stock, unrooted ROM

The RUU is a combination of the stock ROM, kernel, and radio. When you run it, it wipes anything currently on the phone and installs the image that's installed at the factory. When it's done, you will have a stock, unrooted ROM and kernel with the factory radio

If you feel it's a software issue, why not try flashing a different ROM instead of going back to stock? There are plenty of ROMs out there that work flawlessly if not next to it.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] trs020382:
OK, first post here, but I think it's a useful one!!

Collected a Galaxy S2 on Monday night from the 3 store in the Trafford Centre. Absolutely love it!, fantastic handset.

Or so I thought until last night.....

This was the only bugbear/issue that the phone gave me and gave me no end of grief; I paired it with my Parrot 9200 Car Kit, as with any other phone. All seemed to be well.

That was until I tried to make a call. When I pressed the green button on the handsfree to initiate voice dialling, android launched the "Voice Commands" program, which tried to take over. Unfortunately, the voice commands program required a little bit of interaction with the phone, and wasn't particularly accurate over bluetooth.

Tried deleting and re-pairing, turning off voice commands over bluetooth, which just bypassed the hands free mic, to the handset!!. Grief grief grief.

OK, I thought, I'll just manually select the numbers on the car kit. A bit of a ballache, but it'll do!

Wrong, the phonebook hadn't downloaded, and no amount of tweaking the car kit or the phone could sort it. :mad:

There was very limited info on this, hence the reason for this post!

After much googling, I found that the latest version of the Parrot firmware had an additional pairing setting; "Force AT Sync".

So, car kit updated with the latest firmware from the Parrot website, on the car kit, I navigated to Settings>Bluetooth Settings> Pair With> Force AT Sync. (This is at the bottom of the list of phones that the kit "knows" about by default.

Seconds later, my phone was requesting permission for the car kit to access the phone book, and syncing away nicely.

No more voice commands software, and the Parrot kit is working as it should, completely hands free!

Cheers

Tim
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pjfriend:
Thanks for the info on this. I'm thinking about getting the same kit, can I ask what the sound quality is like through Bluetooth?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pjfriend:
Update:

I've just had an MKi9200 fitted. Only had a couple of hours to play with it but so far I'm delighted.

Feel free to ask questions.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Intratech:
Does it work?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pjfriend:
Yep, works really well.

Phone calls are very clear for both parties and (to me at least) the bluetooth music sound quality is really good. It's not a top of the line speaker system but it's clear and the volume is adequate.

It cuts in with the sat nav directions nicely. I had a bluetooth headunit before and if I had the phone connected the directions wouldn't interrupt a cd or radio. This works just fine, even if I'm listening to the radio through the stereo, the directions still come through.

I've not tried using the other sound connections yet, iPod, USB stick, aux jack or SD Card. I'll try them all over the next couple of days.

I'm thinking about taking the SD card out of the phone and using that way as it only lets you move the tracks foreward and backwards on a playlist or album if you use bluetooth. You have to use the phone to select another artist or album etc. Also, an SD card would let you see the album art and display the track details on the Parrot screen.

The only thing that isn't working correctly at present is that the remote won't skip tracks if the music player isn't displayed on the phone. If I have the sat nav screen up the track forward and backward keys are ignored.

I'm just going out to update the software though so this might fix that.

Anything else you need to know?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pjfriend:
Right, I've updated the software which was really painless.

The sat nav stopping the track controls from working only happens in Co Pilot, not in Google Navigation.

I tried using my SD card from my phone in holder and it didn't seem to pick it up. I might need to leave it in longer (about 28 gig of music on it) or it might be that the card is too large at 32GB. The Parrot website says that there is no limit to card size but that sounds a bit optimistic to me.

Other than that though, I'm delighted so far.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dan13l:
I've got one of these too. Great bit of kit. I did notice a tweak in the VillainRom thread that ups the Bluetooth audio quality, if that's how you're using it. Haven't tried it yet myself.

One thing I have noticed is it's a bit hit and miss when play and pause work. I could never get into the car and press play, and just have it resume the last thing that was playing (usually BeyondPod). In the end I set Tasker up to automatically start playing when Bluetooth connects. Job done.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] paranoid2007:
Could you post a link to that thread? I have a Mki9200 myself and would be very interested to read this.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dan13l:
Have a look for a post by Faremoney on May 16th in the VillainRom thread over in the dev forum. It's to do with altering the Bluetooth bitpool. I'd link, but I don't think I can from the app.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] paranoid2007:
Thanks, I'll go searching for it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] trs020382:
The only annoyance I have now, which is more parrot related is that if I have a usb memory key and sd card connected, even if i had been.listening to music on the sd card, next time I get in the car and press play, it defaults back to the usb.

All in all, the kit is impressive. I bought mine about 18 months ago and gave nearly £300 fitted. A couple of months ago, I bought a kit for my girlfriend, brand new for £110 and fitted it myself in 40 mins!!

Definitely recommended.

Thanks for this post. It helped me to sync my contact from sgs2 to my parrot 9100.

Ordered a second hand unit off ebay for 65 and getting it fitted late this week/early next week.

Has anyone figured out a way to charge the s2 from the iphone connector?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pjfriend:
Hi there

Hope all ok with yours. I've been delighted with mine so far.

It does charge off the USB connector, don't need to use the iPhone end. It seems to deliver quite a small charge though so I still use a cigarette lighter socket.

From memory you can set the phone to storage mode and the Parrot kit will read the music contents of the phone but I had trouble with a larger capacity card. I'm happy with the audio quality over Bluetooth so this was the simplest way for me to work.

Let me know if that doesn't make sense or if you have any other questions.

Working but could be better...

Hi,

I have updated my MKi9200 Parrot software and set the "Force AT Sync". Effectively I don't have the phone voice commands anymore and it is already much better. Thank you for this.

However, I experience some interruptions of sound each time I use the phone (like just checking my mail) or each time an event occurs on the phone (like reception of an email notice or reception of SMS notice). It is not comfortable when listening to music...

Also, I had a much better experience with my Parrot and another phone than SG2. With SG2 + Parrot, sometimes you press the green button on Parrot and you don't get the voice command to dial, sometimes you have a phone ring and you can't take the call when pushing the green button on Parrot, sometimes you can't hang up after a call, sometimes it only works after several attempts of push on a given button.

Well, it is better than before but still not working as it should. Of course, when the Parrot buttons are not responding, I can still get the command right using the phone screen to take the call or hang-up but it is really not safe at all while ones drives his car in the same time...

Has anyone here found a solution first not to get those cuts on phone events?

Has anyone found a better setting to make sure the Parrot buttons are always working with SG2?

Has anyone experienced the same kind of troubles despite the "Force AT Sync" mode is set like on my SG2?

Thank you for sharing.

I can't find how to get latest firmware from the parrot website

Your post was interesting but for the life of me I can't work out where to get a newer version of firmware! I have just put in the unit and was dismayed when I called Samsung and was told that I can't put my contacts in it! It seems that you have so I'd love to know where and how you got the firmware you refer to.

Hi guys, just registered. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (with 2.3.5 KI3) and a Parrot LS-3400GPS carkit. It pairs without problems but of course it is a bit limited so I would like to change it with a Parrot MKi9200. I'm reading in many places there are a lot of issues with Android phones. I also wrote di Parrot and they do CONFIRM. But the problem (they say) is not in the carkit sw but in the Android! So strange...

On the parrot forum there are still users with mic issues, contact sync issues and voice command issues, even with the last 1.96 fw.

I've read here that everything works fine using "force at sync".

I understood that it does sync but what about the voice commands? Any problems?

Is there a conflict with the parrot ones?

I'm really confused

Thank You

Hi,

I'm testing samsung galaxy s2 with my parrot mki9200 and Viber app.

And i have problems.

The problem is that as soon as the call starts the Mki9200 displays the message about waiting for the voice activation

Every time that i start a call true viber.I don't want this, i want to call with my phone.

With my iphone 4 and viber and mki9200 there is no problem at all.

Hi Parrot with Galaxy S2 user's,

I'm having the same kind of issue using my new Galaxy S2 with my Parrot kit Mki9200.

The phone is able to pair with my BT kit. I'm able to have a call over BT.

My kit has a remote control unit with a green button(usually to answer a call) and with my old android phone (HTC Desire HD) I was able to give a vocal instruction by typing two times on this button.

With my new phone, when I hit two times this button the phone launch a default app (Powered by Vlingo) but this app do not able me to speak without a screen interaction....too bad in car...

I can't find any answer to solve my issue and hope your community will be helpfull for me and my car tranquility.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Viber Team:
Hi all,

This is a member of the Viber deb. team.

I'd just like to note that at this stage, we don't support custom ROMs with Viber (except basic ones, like CM7 and MIUI). Running Viber on a customized ROM results in various side effects, some of which are severe, but unfortunately we can't afford to support ALL those ROMs at this stage. You might want to contact the ROM developers and ask if any adaptations could be made there in order to support Viber.

Also, I saw there were some Polish users here: we're soon going to release our new multilingual version of Viber, including Polish. We're looking for Polish users who speak English good, and can review our translations and see that everything is OK :)

Would you be willing to help us?

Thanks in advance, and if anyone has any questions - please don't hesitate to ask me.

I meant about issues between Parrot 9200 and Samsung GS2. I read that the pair is not perfect and all the features are not working perfectly as for the "favorite" Iphone...

But I've read the 2.0 firmware changelog and all the changes are for the Iphone again...:(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pjfriend:
What features are you worried about not working? Mine seems to work really well with the new firmware. Was ok with the older (1.91?) firmware too. Music playback with satnav, voice calling etc all v good.

Only complaint is the microphone doesn't seem to be very good but otherwise, delighted.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] monster75:
Some months ago I was reading the Parrot Forum and some users had issues with contacts (syncro problems) or microphone or call-logs. It seems that it's not only a Samsung GS2 incompatibility but it's Android which is not 100% compatible with Parrot MKI9200.

That's what I've read and what Parrot-support answered to me...

Of course it's not the case of Iphone which has support and updates for every changes...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sathumax:
What do you mean with custom roms??

Will it not work with original samsung roms on s2??
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Viber Team:
Custom ROM means it is *not* an original, stock ROM. That's the very meaning of Custom ROM - it means you took the Android you got from the store or from your cell company, and you altered it in a way we are not aware about (thus causing Viber to collide with certain features of the ROM).

Do you have the original, stock ROM and Viber still does not work?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] monster75:
I uninstalled Viber. It worked only with wifi for both users. Quality low. Unstable. Waiting for improvements to install it again.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Viber Team:
Sometimes 3G reception could be low, and this is something we cannot control. Naturally this affects Viber's call quality and results in disruptions and broken sound.

We are continuously trying to improve our handling of 3G, so you can expect better performance as newer versions of Viber are released.

Please note that having full 3G reception doesn't mean your internet's bandwidth is at the maximum expected. When you see a "full reception bar", it merely means that physically, your phone is covered with the cellular signal.

When it comes to the bandwidth itself, your connection could still be slow due to various different reasons, such as being in an area with many other users from the same provider, thus congesting the network.

Meanwhile, WiFi- WiFi calls on Viber sound generally clear and are free of such disruptions. Have you tested it on a few different WiFi networks in order to make sure it's not a local problem?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] monster75:
Yes. I have wifi at home and at work. Same results. I think voip calls will be the future but for the moment there's a lot to improve;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Viber Team:
@monster75 -

Are you sure the other side is also connected to a high-speed WiFi networks? because it's "enough" for one side to be on a congested 3G connection for the call to be choppy.

As far as we know from our users, WiFi-WiFi Viber calls give overall smooth performance :)
