I have an old Southwing SA505 BT Headset that works well with my Droid Inc. I paired it to the NC on Stable CM7 7.0.3 with the 4/24 OC Kernel.

Paired ok but music skips and stutters.

Ideas?

EDIT: It is the distance/range known problem after further testing. It is really bad though. Holding the NC at reading distance in my hand and wearing the headset is "too" far for it to hold a steady signal. If I hold the NC to my head like a boom box and wear the headset then it sounds/works fine.
[Nook Color General] owen.greg:
bluetooth isn't working correctly yet, it was just discovered a couple weeks ago, i'm surprised it works at all
[Nook Color General] wpbear:
I know this but many are using BT keyboards with good results and I paired a phone and transfered files between the NC just fine. I find it interesting that BT audio is so bad. Also it has been more than a "couple weeks".
[HTC Inspire 4G] ampsonic:
Just Curious, anyone planning on upgrading to the Galaxy S II when it becomes available?

(Also, is a rooted / custom ROM phone also unlocked?)

Nick
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
IIRC, the Samsung Galaxy S II has an unlocked bootloader, so yes, developers will probably start writing custom ROMs for it.

For me, I'm going to keep this phone until my 2-year contract is up. Even if I had a chance to upgrade to Galaxy S II for free, I wouldn't, because I personally don't like Samsung phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I don't understand these questions...This phone just came out what in Feb? Most peeps are in a 2 year contract. I know I am....

I know there are some who buy out of contract but really why ask here and not in the forum for the phone you are in question of?

Most people are going to answer you with a no.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cordell507:
i plan to get the HTC Holiday off-contract but only if it has an unlocked bootloader
[HTC Inspire 4G] ampsonic:
Yeah, I'm curious if people will want to switch enough to sell their current phones and buy unlocked. I'm not sure if these things sell well on ebay, but that's what I've done in the past when new iPhones came out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamm513:
My Inspire Its New, its in the market over 11 Feb, we don't need to change the phone yet.

Enjoy your Machine
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
HELL to the NO!

Samsung products are banned from my house.

I'm eligible for a new phone in January, I'll probably stick with HTC.

For "old tech" the Inspire is a kick ass device. Stable as all get out with lots of dev activity. Lots to love about it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Wow... someone's so pretty rich here. Good for u.

I plan to keep this phone atleast till March next year, when I'll be due for upgrade.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
+1

I under clocked to ~700 and it is still so snappy!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ampsonic:
Yeah, I have to say, I've installed CM7 (stable), and I am SUPER impressed with how fast this thing is now.

I was just curious, I see that you all love this phone very much. Makes me happy with my choice. (My wife shattered her phone, and I picked this one up same day, not my usual month long research)

So, as a former iPhone 4 users, if you could give me one android tip or suggestion, what would it be?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
stay away from motorola and samsung... other then that you should be golden.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Stay away from task killers that kill tasks at regular intervals. U could use them to kill a stray app though.

I would recommend reading the thread "android memory management" (permanent link in my signature) to learn how android memory management works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ampsonic:
Yep, I learned that pretty quick. Thanks!

I'm keeping this phone till my upgrade in December. Then, hello Holiday!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
I've used the i**** and used the sgs vibrant and captivate. And then I saw the infuse and lmao.... Huge and cheap. Samsung may make a OK screen but I need a solid body to protect it. Hell no htc all the way
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
I will preface this by saying while I make really good money( and work damned hard for it) I am not rich.

I have 2 inspires, one off contract and one on, and you can bet your sweet ass I will be getting the gs2. That is provided it lives up the hype and has proper dev support, which I imagine it will. I understand that in the inspire forum your gonna have a hard time finding anyone saying its not the best phone ever for all time, but I am not the typical owner. I dont have a "pride of ownership" complex. While I lOVE this phone, its far from perfect. The battery is a joke, the bluetooth radio is really weak, the cellular radio has a hard time, and the bottom/side covers fit poorly. Not my opinion, just what it is. The only thing that may be a bit subjective is the cellular radio signal. Buttttt I have tested 5 brand new inspires against a captivate,aria,iphone, and a dumbphone and it always has the weakest signal (in db's not F'in bars). I have flashed every radio/ril known to man, and while it will fluctuate a bit from one to another, as an average its mostly the same. I am talking strictly in signal strength (both edge/hspa) no stupid bars or speedtest.net results. I also tested the bluetooth on 3 inspires myself and had a friend test 2 and all did the same thing. It will start to break up bad if you cover the antenna(side cover) with your hand or move away from the source. This again is something I dont experience with my other plethora of phones. I tested it with 2 headsets and 2 different aftermarket headunits(car stereo). As for the battery, well come on do I really have to explain myself there. While I have gotten to get my phone to last most of the day, its still sub par.

Now dont get me wrong I absolutely love this phone, if not why would I buy 2, one off contract. Its fast, beautiful, made of quality materials, has an awesome screen, and best of all has AMAZING dev support. I only explain my issue cause I know Im gonna get flamed. I am just one of those guys that doesn't think that its the best because I own it. When we own stuff we tend to overlook issues and focus on the positives, which is fine provided it doesn't cloud your judgement. I love and have owned mustangs and camaros. I have also owned and loved yamaha's,honda's,kawasaki's,suzuki bikes. I love toys/gadgets of every maker and flavor. Hell I own an svt lightning but still dig the srt-10 and the cheby ss. And yes I have a drawer full of smartphones from htc,palm,samsung, and yes even the rotten apple.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I see yer issue. Harley's are the only "Motor Cycles" and samsung sux. :D

Hi all,

I need to use both nimbuzz and skype through my bluetooth headset (plantronics m100). I have tried several applications in market but none of them seem to work over gingerbread.

I have installed overcome rc1 just in case that helps.

I am searching for an app, plugin or whatever, which will scroll bei bending the tablet. It is obvious, but maybe Apple has got a patent on it... ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
EDIT: 1080p@30fps has been added to nightly and bitrate has been set to 12mbps which is not that bad. Its hence not recommended to flash these anymore. If you want higher bitrate look in the thread for those. I think it was pastime who made them. Alternatively use root explorer to manually edit /etc/mediaprofiles.XML. again, read pastimes and related posts in the thread on that.

This will replace the Camera.apk from CM7 with a more tegra2 friendly version that enables 1080p@30fps recording. There's also included an updated media_profiles.xml file that'll enable different bitrates. Choose wisely :). To test the bitrate I recommend having it running for at a minute to make sure everything can keep up. Usually it starts out smooth and then starts stuttering as the ram gets filled up. I also upped the quality for still.

Videos (I'll add experimental stuff as well, such as ultra high bitrates and auto focus):

http://www.youtube.com/user/O2XdevVids

I would stay away with 64mb ram hacks for the time being. Maybe we can find some middle ground in the future :).

Anyway, please give me feedback on how it works. Some beautiful videos would be nice. Weather is really depressing here.

Please don't use this for non-tegra 2 devices.

Also, I'm experimenting a lot. Expect a lot to be buggy. I do my best not to put something out that doesn't work, but a couple of runs is really the extend of my testing before it goes up (to be honest). The autofocus-mod is seriously buggy. The bitrate-mod should be pretty much as buggy as the std. cm7 Camera app.

And, of course, thx to all the great ppl who works on cm.

Versions & Changelog & TODO

--------------Autofocus1.1----------------- (Note this is horribly buggy)

Just adds auto focus (and 25/30fps if you're on nightly), no change to bitrate. Flash this AFTER you do the bitrate mods. Flashing with any of the bitrate mods will replace the Camera app and you'll lose autofocus.

--------------------------------CHANGELOG----------------------------------------

1.0 Initial release.

---- Small bugfix of CM7s camera app + tegra 2 specific stuff.

1.1-pre-alpha

---- Enables autofocus prior to video capture. Cannot be turned off(I don't do UIs,lol). Need to restart app for each video.

Autofocus 1.1

---- No need to restart app.

Known issues:

Does no longer auto adjust for exposure while recording. In between recordings it will auto adjust again. (I have no idea why).

Cannot disable autofocus (have no idea how to do UI).

Rather buggy, lots of freezes. For best results, don't push it. Ie. don't start and stop recordings rapidly, stuff like that.

Don't switch quickly to video when opening app... I think that might be a cm7 issue.

---------------------------------------TODO----------------------------------------

Touch to focus.

continuous auto-focus.

FAQ

Q: Does this work for non-CM7 ROMS?

A: Probably not. Certainly not froyo. But feel free to try and let me know. On stock rom-based builds, please look at somemadcaaant's awesome work at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090785.

Q: T-Mobile LG G2x support?

A: Yes.

Q: What are the disadvantages?

A: Larger filesize. Takes longer to save (give it time to save before doing anything else with the phone). Potential issues with playback on phone.

Q: Does this work with 64 mb ram hack?

A: No. You can still use a high bitrate 720p mod for that kernel, though.

Q: It stutters after a few secs of recording or freezes once in a while, why is this?

A: Your phone/sdcard is having issues trying to keep up. Try a lower bitrate mod. If there is no lower, ask for one. I'm experimenting a little myself, trying to find a stable bitrate.

Q: If I open the Camera app and very quickly change to video I get a black screen?

A: Don't do that. I get the same bug on std. cm7 Camera app.

Q: Isn't it overkill with an FAQ for a camera mod?

A: Yes. But people kept asking the same questions last time I made a thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] asci:
THX so much I will test it and report.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
i would also add "touch to re-focus during video capture"(like in htc's) to the to-do list ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Tegra 2 is some impressive hardware.... bitrate goes up crazy high. I'll add some different versions, but do people have any thoughts on what kind of bit rates they'd like to see?

Damn, I think maybe my sdcard cant keep up with the ultra high bit rates I'm testing. Starts stuttering after 10 sec. Maybe someone out there with a class 10 card?
[LG Optimus 2x] ranrick:
When switching on video mode, i get a black screen and FC afterwards. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
I purposely made my tweaks so code is first running when you actually start recording... If it's a new problem it's because of the settings file.

Tried restarting the app?
[LG Optimus 2x] gregman26:
Work great for me on Kang today buid !
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Great news. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ranrick:
I reinstalled. Thereafter i was able to start it. But Recording doesn't work so far.It starts at 720P but when ending the recodring, I get a FC. 1080p keeps black screen and no FC and no recording. Maybe because of the 64MB RAM hack in the vorkKernal.
[LG Optimus 2x] TattooHtc:
Thanks LeJay :D

But i have a bug.... The video is lagging(I think my Sd Card is Class 2), so i think it is because of the high bitrate. And sometimes after shooting a video the camera just freezes and i have to pull the battery..

LG O2x, Latest Kang, stock kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Okay, so it officially doesn't work with the 64 mb ram hack. Not surprising. You can enable high bitrate 720p with some of my other mods.
[LG Optimus 2x] ermacwins:
Isnt that the case with cm7 nightlies and 1080p recording?

Can someone up a vid?
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Hmm... I just recorded for 1 min straight with no issue. I do get similar issues on som2e of the higher bitrates I've been toying with(40mbps can make most sd cards cry). Does it start lagging as soon as you start recording?

I'm going to make higher and lower bitrate versions.
[LG Optimus 2x] jlevy73:
Works beautifully on the G2x as well. Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] buch85:
@LeJay: you should contact arcee to include your mod in CM tree
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Could you try the low bitrate mod?
[LG Optimus 2x] TheMorpheus:
Works grat! 40 sec of video went from 18mb to 99mb. Now that we need a fast memory isn't better to use the internal memory?
[LG Optimus 2x] sibbor:
Agreed.

LeJay, I also think that you should contact Ricardo (arcee) and see if he can merge you changes. He just changed from 1080 to 1088 the other day in the .xml file so we can record 1080p nativly. Kinda wierd that you have to set it to 1088?

The best thing would of course be if he could include all the different modes/profiles for us to freely choose:

"FPS: 15, 25, 30"

"Resolution: 1080p, 720p, ..."

"Bitrate: X, Y, Z"

"Sound: 44 Khz, ..."

etc... because I know my class 2 card can't keep up at the best options. Going to buy me a new one soon though.

Send him a message and see if he's interested. His todo list probably is long though....
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
i made a kang with today's commit before nightly is built. (same as rusty's)

now, changing preference while recording does not crash right away, but soon as finish recording that app FC'es. i thought it was the library issue, but maybe not after all. and hopefully it can be fixed now (or in the future).

additionally, you dont' have to reboot after this crash. camera app runs again just fine.... (yay..)

notably, today's commit includes updated kernel, so maybe that helped....
[LG Optimus 2x] Xargon321:
is this on the phone or trying to watch the video on your computer?
[LG Optimus 2x] sarni84:
on my phone, no biggie cuz i restored a backup, but didnt expect that
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
that is up to you.

1. you can install lejay's mod (and lib..zip if necessary)

2. you can try rusty's kang (kang is user-build, while nightly is built by buildbot.)

3. you can wait till tonight's nightly.

i don't check if lejay's mod on this thread is up to date and identical to commit.

#2 and #3 includes kernel update, which i LIKE...

[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:

edit: but you should check out cm7. i'm much happier than i was on mcr, other than fm radio, a2dp, hdmi 720p issues... you gain openvpn, sip, etc...
[LG Optimus 2x] jacoslav:
i have CM7.

I installed camera mod + autofocus mod and first of all i set autofocus, but then is still the same focus i set at the beginng of recording.

Can you use continous autofocus in video ?
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
There's no continuous auto focus. Even trying to change focus manually while recording causes crash. No idea how to get around it. It's low level stuff.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
@ lejay,

now that your commit is in #65, maybe you can make flashable zips of various media_profiles.xml (high, medium, low bitrates) and post them ?

i can make them, but i don't know how to sign them....

p.s. what do you think is the best way to change media_profiles.xml ? hopefully without reboot phone ?
[LG Optimus 2x] xgeneralex:
Pastime - I try to change media_profile.xml on cm#65 with the full mod_mid media_profile and the result isn't the same by flashing mod directly...I don't know how to explain why it's different...I don't have any problem with the flashable version...boh...
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Can't, I'm on vacation :). Root explorer has a built-in text editor that works fine to edit it. It might be enough to restart camera app afterwards, but I'm not sure.

I was writing a simple app to manually change the bitrate/resolution before I left, will continue when I get back. Could be useful for other phones as well.

Could also build it directly into the camera app, then no restart would be needed, but complicated to maintain.
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Btw, for signing,

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-development/126517-pc-ppcgeeks-android-apk-zip-signer.html
[LG Optimus 2x] aremcee:
Actually, we supported custom profile configurations (within the Camera app) in CM6. If you want to forward-port that, the code is already there ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Oh, very important! If you increase bitrate for HD remember to increase the maximum bitrate for the videoencodercap (h264) or it might not boot!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Cool, but where's the source, though? I've been looking for the old camera app.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
@lejay,

no, you enjoy your vacation.

i will learn signing, and upload zips of media_profiles.xml

edit: zips are up
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
lejay explains that maxBitRate also has to be changed accordingly.

i made flashable zips you can try. see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15289079&postcount=5539

Anyone with a similar problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] mauaus:
Is it just me or are the pictures very dark?
[LG Optimus 2x] akshay_1991:
That's exactly what I'm talking about. It goes so low that I have to discard `em. Same with videos.

Tried keeping the overall system brightness high and did a reboot. Even tried reflashing it with ROM managee. Nothing worked.
[LG Optimus 2x] akshay_1991:
This earlier post was when I tried it for the first time. The second time I tried to take a photo, it was all dark
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
@akshay,

you mentioned that it is random.

could you elaborate how random ?

is it somewhat reproducible ?

i just tested mine, took two photos with flash, recorded a 3s HD movie, took two photos without flash, took a photo with exposure max, took a photo with exposure min, and took a photo with exposure set +0.

they all look accordingly-normal.
[LG Optimus 2x] akshay_1991:
Okay, so. See, i flashed this MOD two days back. It worked fine for like 12 hours( I took photos 8 to 10 times during that duration). It worked brilliantly.

The next time i started the camera to take photos, the brightness was terribly low. So i rebooted and started the app. It worked fine for 2 3 times i used it.

The next time i started it before my 1st post, it was working well. Then it was gone when i finally reported the problem here.

So that's how random it is. It's still dark.

Edit: I'll upload the samples after 12hours since it happens to be night here in India.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
i don't think it matters, but lejay's mod has been merged to nightly 65.

no need to flash his mod any more.

those in lejay's first post in this thread were compiled long before .... (unless he updated. i haven't checked.)

a recent version was posted a couple of days ago.... (don't remember when...)

the recent version should be identical what was merged in nightly.
[LG Optimus 2x] akshay_1991:
Alright. It seems to be working perfectly now. Seems like a hardware issue. I'll flash back to stock and post about it. Please delete my comments if it turns out to be a hardware one.

Thanks a lot :)

hi all. i got the 1088p recording to work. however, i'm having trouble with the auto focus. I was did not install bitrate since everytime i installed bitrate it would only allow me to record in 720p. so i installed autofocus and the lg-signed.

can someone help me figgure out why the autofocus is not working? Thanks.
