[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geektox:
Hi all.

Recently got myself my first smartphone, the Nexus S on Telus. (Well, had a Samsung Omnia before, but getting a WM6.1 phone in 2010 can hardly be considered smart ;))

Everything was going swimmingly. I have a penchant for changing up the software innards on the devices I own, so naturally I rooted my shiny new phone and had a good time trying out all these ROMS. This was approximately a month ago.

About a week ago my phone inexplicably began to act up. My in-call volume dropped to barely a whisper, and my touch-sensitive search button would for some reason go off on it's on.

After a bit of Googling, I found out that the search button issue is affecting many other Canadian users also, something about a bug in the new radio (AUCKD1).

But I've yet to find anything conclusive about the in-call volume. There are threads who are complaining of either low or high volumes, but no workable solutions.

So as a last resort I have restored my phone to fully stock 2.3.4. One to see if it was my messing around that caused it, and to also prepare for the possibility of having to return my shiny. It may just be my imagination/denial, but the call volume seems slightly better. Not good enough for me to hear outside, but inside, with no background noise it's just slightly quieter than normal.

Another thing that is very odd. Skype volume is much louder than voice calls. To be frank it's still not loud enough to be considered acceptable, but it is definitely louder. They use the same speakers right? Why would that be?

If at all possible I'd like to avoid having to take the phone back since Telus will no doubt charge me exuberant fees for having touched the phone for more than 3 seconds and moving more than 18 millimeters away from the store I bought it from. :P

Please advise, XDA!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rejanmanis:
U can try install kernel voodoo sound from supercurio and apps. U can see the different.

I had try most of the custom rom. There is one rom who give me loudest call volume, but I can't remember which ROM it is. U should explore more rather than bring it to the store.

Now I'm on liquidnexusbread, but not giving me a good volume in call.

I knew it sucks... but I love this rom performance.

I see this is already posted, but why is Engadget just picking this up? Is this a bigger deal now? I know we're U.S. CDMA, so does that mean this new OTA means absolutely nothing for us? Until it officially comes to the U.S. eventually? With how long the 2.2 update took I'm really nervous we'd never get an update but if they're already rolling out across Europe... anyone know anything else? I'm getting my Fascinate on Friday!!! :)
[Fascinate General] piizzadude:
This isnt for us at all. We will get GB, but not for awhile (my guess is September/october)

Dont try an flash this puppy, you will be in for a world of hurt
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Nothing to flash, it's an OTA update. The link is just a link to the Engadget story. And looks like GB 2.3.3 is being pushed out not 2.3.4. Don't know the difference, but I know there is a 2.3.4 out there.
[Fascinate General] piizzadude:
Sooner or later someone will put it in flashable form so I figured I would just throw that out to save (mostly you guru's) someone the pain of "I flashed i9000 GB..." threads
[Fascinate General] sneakysolidbake:
I once flashed a i9000 froyo rom, no big deal.

[Fascinate General] Shinebox:
Aren't they all GSM phones?
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
Yes, they are. Still, even though Verizon will no doubt take months on end to push out gb, assuming they don't EOL this phone first, we still might get Mesmerize gb before then (like we got Mesmerize EC10 Froyo before we got ED01 from Verizon)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] tmlhodge:
I'm guessing we get it december 22 2012
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Makes sense since GB for our phone most likely would mean the end of the world :p:eek:
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
You mean for the unofficial leak? Because the Fascinate will be EOL'ed by Verizon long before that.

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] bigwilly90210:
its so ridiculous how fast manufacturers push out new devices. yay you have the latest and greatest! and you just shat all over everyone who's had your phone for a year. wtf man. ha. i had an eris, and really don't think this phone should ever be in the same boat as that phone. never should've bought that eris, should've gone straight to the Droid 1. so does no one do GSM to CDMA conversions? They did a couple for my Eris (thank you punk.kaos) and for the Droid 1, the "Mobile Networks" option was usually the only thing not working eventually. I'm new the fascinate, actually not getting mine till tomorrow, but I'm really eager to get a truly open phone. my droid 2 was killing me bro. oh well, so long as we get gingerbread eventually. and honestly if CM7 is ready before the end of June, who needs an OTA? :P Android Devs FTW!!!
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
It's a joke, because the end of the world (according to conspiracy freaks who take everything they read to the Nth degree) according to the Mayan calendar is 12/21/2012, or the Winter solstice of 2012.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
The guys who made the Mayan calendar probably stopped at 2012 because they were just tired of making calendars and figured "surely someone will pick up where we left off sometime in the next 2000 years" ;)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
lol, yeah. If you look at the calendar, it's a giant wheel.

They probably thought "Hey, instead of adding ANOTHER ring to this, why don't we just create a new calendar once 2012 rolls around?"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Symbiot78:
Hi

yesterday I tried flashing my desire with the new leedroid 3.0.7.

Before I had the 2.3 leedroid

After reading in the leedroid ROM thread that I needed to toggle of the verification I did.. and flashed my phone.

Sooo.. now I have a phone that's stuck at the white HTC screen..

It can charge the battery.. yay.. but that's about it..

I turn it on and it goes straight to the white screen...

I am hoping that it can be fixed... well.. I guess I am WILLING it to be fixable..

Anyone have some fantastically helpful advice?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Are you able to boot recovery (I guess not?)

Is fastboot working upon connection to PC, and does fastboot recognise your device?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Symbiot78:
hi

i just tried plugging it into the computer... something is recognized, but it does not install the drivers correctly...

I cannot seem to get into recovery when turning on the phone and holding down volume up..

Any options?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Ok, so no recovery. Do you have Android sdk installed on your PC, and have you previously used adb to communicate from PC to phone?

No to both.. I do not know what adb is..

I will look at the 2 threads and hope I can find something useful...

Any other advice on recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Symbiot78:
oh

if i unplug the battery and try to turn the phone on, the orange and green light flash asynchronously a few times..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Symbiot78:

So I should install the drivers...

and then I don't really know what to do next..

I'm hoping you, or someone else has a guide..

I may not be 100% android savvy, but I can follow a guide REAL good ;-)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Symbiot78:
phew... I managed to get into recovery and downloaded leedroid 2.5.

That rom installed fine.. strange that the 3.0.7 did not...

But I'm happy.. I have my phone back..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis.l:
There is 2 version of LeeDroid 3.07. (A2SD+ or the Data+ version.) did you match the version you are installing to the hboot partition table that is installed on your phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Glad this worked! Remember now you have a working phone do a nandroid backup in recovery ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Symbiot78:
No I did not.. :-(

How do I check the hboot partition table?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Symbiot78:
Touché...! Will do... :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shieze:
If you do not know about the hboot partition table and also still have the white background with the htc logo on boot I would say you have stock hboot tables. As such you need to use the a2sd+ version of 3.0.7.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
When I plug my Droid into the car charger (always) it starts to charge, then says something like "Charger Disconnected" and it doesn't charge...this is really inconvenient because by the time I get to my destination I'm down to about 70-80% charge and I'm there for hours and my phone dies after 3 or 4 (no power where I'm at so no I can't plug it in, this is twice a week for me).

Why is my car charger (genuine VZW) "disconnecting" and how can I stop it?

Thanks
[Droid X General] Saaber:
If it doesn't do it with your home charger, I'd guess that the car charger is faulty. You can get the original Motorola P513 car charger on Amazon for between $3.15 and $6.00.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Get a new cord
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
It does it on two different car chargers, one of which is brand new VZW from a VZW store ($35) (the same day I posted) my phone actually says something like, "charger disconnected, remove charger from the wall to conserve energy" with a green plant image.

It's not a broken cable, it's inside my phone...how the hell do I disable it?
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I don't have a fix, but if my phone is less than 50% charged, it does charge normally - I didn't get more than about 10% charge though before I got home, so I have no idea when it does the auto disconnect, it's really annoying.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Hemotherapy:
So I've converted some files to mp4's, and had previous mp4 files before, but whenever it's in the webtop display, I can't mirror the image to the Laptop dock. Had the same issue with my HD TV. The screen is completely black and when I close the monitor down, the phone shows the remote (like you have when connected to a TV) and it's blocking the video (I can barely see a row of pixels moving at the bottom) which leads me to believe that the remote thing is covering up the video somehow. Is there a way to fix this?? I can't understand why they wouldn't allow you to watch your videos on a bigger screen. Is there a setting I just need to change or is this working as intended and I need to get some kind of hack for it? I just wanna be able to watch my anime I convert to mp4 on the laptop dock screen. I tried to mess with a video player through accessing my phone via webtop, but it's such a small resolution and looks terrible. Any idea's??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
wow well 3.1 brought some awesome improvements but i really don't enjoy my widgets being all screwed up.

so far i have the missing gmail like many others, but i also have widgets that have gotten smaller, the photo frame is now 2x2 and the youtube widget is now 4x1.

anyone else having these issues, and if so, how did you fix them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Factory reset have been the only solution I've seen. This was happening to Xoom users too. The photo frame and youtube widget becoming smaller.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I'm having enough little nagging issues that I might do a factory reset just for kicks...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JordanKZ:
I had exactly the same problem with my WW EEE pad this morning after the update to 3.1.

Factory reset fixed it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingkay:
Glad that I'm not the only one with the youtube widget issue.

But the wierd thing is, I had this issue BEFORE the 3.1 the update. It's playing up constantly, sometimes its 4x1 and sometimes its 4x2.

First I thought Launcher pro plus/ Wallpaper wizardrii was the culprit, but I uninstalled them and even did a factory reset. Widget turned to normal (4x2) but after I turned it on this morning it went back to 4x1. I did the 3.1 update, went to normal, after restart, went back to 4x1. Thinking of doing another Factory reset...

I don't use gmail widget and didn't lose it.

Update: Did another factory reset, worked fine. Did a restart to make sure its ok, reverted back to 4x1 Arghhh >=(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
you guys that did a factory reset, were you missing the gmail widget and did that come back?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingkay:
Screenshots and a quick temporary solution.

I know this thread is a couple of days old, but rather than making a new thread, I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue regarding the youtube and picture frame widgets.

I have provided some screen shots:

Not that it's a serious issue, but it can be of an annoyance.

I have done factory reset several times, and the widgets would be fine until I restart the device (as state in the above post).

Instead I have found a quick temporary solution to the problem:

Simply removing the device from the dock or vice versa.

The widgets would appear as normal... until the next reboot. :/

I'm thinking of flashing back to 3.0 but have seen threads with issues in doing so.
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
once the install was finished the red m showed up but then took me to bootloader mode and i try battery pull reboot and it did it again whats the problem?
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
better yet how do i get to sbf from 2.3?can someone send me the sbf link that i need asap thanks
[Droid X General] RodrigoKim:
I don't think anyone has the SBF for 2.3 yet, so just SBF back to .340 stock and then pull the update manually through search for updates option in your phone.
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
I sbf successful happy about that but it shows a blue triangle on my notification bar and the system update option is greyed out, I can't select it

[Desire Themes and Apps] NadimRifai:
Argeoff where did you find that rom? is it Gingerbread?
[Desire Themes and Apps] dexter93:
Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum

Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.

Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf

Also this is not the correct section

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Themes and Apps] argeoff:
Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.

You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.

The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it. :cool:

I cannot believe no one has developed a reminder app for Windows Phone 7!

Not everyone wants to wear their phone on them at all times. For example, if I want to leave it on the counter, end table, charger, or go mow the lawn, it would be nice to have a reminder chirp and/or vibration let me know that I'd missed something.

And, I supposed my phone would appreciate not having the power/wake button exercised so frequently when I check for missed items. Yes, I'm frequently in environments that make it easy to miss a single audible and/or vibration alert.

Please tell me this app already exists and that I've overlooked it! =)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_strangetrick:
Me too, I always have to keep waking my phone to check for calls or messages.

This especially worse when I am out say walking in town, even with the volume on max and the options set to vibrate quite often I dont notice calls or messages.

WINDOWS PHONE 7 DEVELOPMENT and Hacking --> WINDOWS PHONE 7 APPS and Games

isn't an appropriate forum, how about offering constructive feedback as to where it might best be served?

-------------------------------

Never mind, found a forum you might approve of.

FYI, as far as my desired app not being implement-able, I seriously hope you are wrong! But, I'm guessing there *is* a way, like if an app can access the same info as is presented on the tiles when there are missed/unread items.

[Xperia Play General] mamallica:
Hey everyone and tnx for reading this.

I am experiencing some reception problems with my play today.

Just started to happen today.

Here is wat happens. Out of no where (and i really mean out of nowhere!) the phone has no more reception or connection to 3G or wats so ever. Ithe icons show a diff story. The reception level is full and then internet is showing 3G as normal. But i think they hang. Cuz when i use data the 3G icon changes to H.

anyways this has happened over 10-15 times during the past ten hrs or so. My friends are saying ur phone was off or out of service and im at home where i always have perfect reception.

I didnt install or remove any app.

I didnt play with settings.

I try putting it in and out of flight mode. Sometime it worked. Not everytime tho.

I tried restartung the phone. Reinserting sim and batt. Also tried searching for network manually. But i keep losing reception. Any idea?

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] Legato525:
Who is your provider? Sorry still getting used to all the providers.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
G is slow speed.

E is medium speed.

H is broadband speed.

Go to wireless and networks to change to GSM only (permanently slow but better reception) or WCDMA only (permanently fast but probably worse reception based on how developed your carriers communication infrastructure is).
[Xperia Play General] mamallica:
Its rogers. Im in canada. Its not the network. I have been with them for years and i have had the Xperia play for over a month now. Never ever had a problem with reception. In fact its amazing.

As a matter of the fact u kno this is the problem from my phone. Which is most lijely software since i had my friend sitting next to me with his Bb he is also with rogers. He was fine bue wen he tried calling me mine said its out of service. Also i couldnt make a call to him. A few mins later everything got fixed and again it got messed up. As i said at all time the reception bar is full! But its not real since i jave no rec.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Play General] mamallica:
Tnx for ur advice. But i have had this phone for a month and i have been with rogers for yrs. So this is something happening now. Most likely software based.

I will however try wat u said
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
GSM and WCDMA work differently and independantly. Your old Rogers phone probably worked using GSM.

WCDMA is not as well supported and could be considerably worse reception even though it is with the same carrier.

Go GSM only and note if the reception is better.
[Xperia Play General] mamallica:
I understand what you are saying. but as I said I have had this phone for a month and it worked perfectly. amazing reception and super fast data transfer. but its beeen 1-2 days that I am approaching such problem.

so its a software problem....
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Ye i understand. I'm just trying to throw some idea in the air to help you. I can understand how much of a frustrating problem it could be.

Lets' clarify -

1) You bought Xperia Play, worked perfect

2) After a month, your phone shows a good signal, but when friends telephone you it goes to answer machine as if you had 0 signal?

3) Basically all reception is lost and you have no signal, but sometimes it shows you do, even though you dont.

Here's some things to try -

1) Put your sim card in another phone and note the behaviour. Does it stay a strong signal? If yes, then it has got to be the Xperia Play at fault.

2) Put another sim card into your Xperia Play. Does it stay a strong signal? If yes, then it is actually your network provider at fault. If no, then the phone is at fault.

3) Try resetting the whole phone to default. Does the problem persist? If yes, then it is a hardware fault. If no, then problem solved.
[Xperia Play General] mamallica:
Thanks a lot. I did restart it to factory defult yesterday! :( didnt help! I even reinstalled the whole software using SEUS. nothing is changed.

I know the service provider is fine since my friend sitting next to me had perfect signal. he is also using the same network as i do.

now I am jus waiting for my brother to come home. he has the arc. same network. im gonna double check the sim cards and if its the phone i will send it for repair!
[Xperia Play General] Varucell:
I am having the same problem with mine and reception, I don't know if 85dbm is supposed to be good but I am used to having full bars in my house. I only get about 2 now.
