[Xoom General] automatikdonn:
My wifi xoom is soft bricked. I can get into fastboot no problem. However the MotoDev download has a broken system.img file.

Stuck on the M/Dual Core Screen.

Any Advice.

Edit - Used chrome to download from MotoDev.

Unbricked, all is good
[Xoom General] sully7:
When you were having this issue, what was the error you were getting when you tried to flash the system.img file?

My xoom is currently soft-bricked (I hope thats all it is at least), and when I go to flash system.img it basically will not let me. I've tried the "fastboot flash system system.img" technique and it simply doesn't work.

It shows: "sending 'system' <262144 KB>... FAILED <data transfer failure <Too many links>>"

I don't think I'm COMPLETELY screwed because I still have access to fastboot, and it still lets me flash my boot.img files. Any thoughts based on your experience?
[Xoom General] rohit3192:
how many devices have you connected with pc while doing this?

regarding corrupt download there is checksum at motodev site from where you have downloaded zip.

just ensure while downloading that file is saved as .zip.

there are 4 files inside zip which you need to put in "tool" folder of adb
[Xoom General] sully7:
Well I'm running Windows 7 64bit, and I would say I have a few devices plugged in, but nothing extraordinary? The only things running USB besides the xoom are keyboard, mouse, and wifi adapter. It also doesn't give me that error when I tried flashing any other file, which is why I think maybe I just have miserable luck and keep downloading bad files system.img files. I'll try re-downloading from motodev and give it another shot tonight.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagash91:
my G1 was destroyed in a crash, so I buy new plastics+keybord+slider (all plastic parts) to assemble the hardware in the new cover.

All is going well, but after the boot I notice that the touchscreen is unusable... if I touch the screen it begin to slide or press random points that I didn't touch, for some seconds... :confused::confused:

The touchscreen is going crazy!!

I tried to open again the G1, reconnect the cables of screen/touchscreen and restart android.. but I have the same issue..

What the hell is happening?

The touchscreen panel seems ok, it doesn't have deep scratches, and it seems that the fall has not damaged visually the touchscreen.

It is a link problem or touchscreen, or what??? :confused: Someone know?

I don't know what to do.. buy a new touchscreen for 20€?? I spent 20€ for the plastic, if I don't solve I would change device.. but the qwerty device in europe are not so good :confused:

I'm waiting for milestone3, or a samsung/HTC qwerty device with dual core and screen> 3.7"

Please help I don't want to bury my G1 :(

EDIT:

I found this video that show a similar issue on the motorola milestone.

It is really similar to my isssue..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PNuXREuDxA

I'm thinking that perhaps touching the back of the touch panel I spoiled something, or something like that (perhaps I have to clean the back of touch panel with somthing?)

I'm going to try something, all reply are appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagash91:
I find solution (hope)

The problem is the bus cable of touchscreen that is damaged.

I bought a new cable, I hope to solve this problem.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] darkdevil1:
Hello,

I'm currently running Hyperdroid CM7 2.1.0 with radio 2.15.50.14. I've been receiving complaints about my call quality for quite some time now. Some people describe it as ''standing in a bathroom'' and others as ''standing near a busy street'' when neither is the case. This is not a new issue, I've had it with all android ROMs I've tried so far.

People can barely make out what I'm saying. I've tried reinstalling the ROM as well as deleting default.acdb in etc/firmware (suggestion from some other threads I found). Sadly, neither resolved the issue. Found some other threads where people had this issue and they all fixed it by installing rom [x] and following some specific steps. The roms mentioned in these threads haven't been updated since '10 so I'm not very inclined to try those.

Anyone have any ideas that could possibly help?

Thank you for your time.

Edit: Fixed! Copied the files mentioned in this thread to system/etc/firmware and I'm no longer experiencing any issues!

Hi,

there is an app available on market. It is called like sixaxis or something like that. The idea of the app is to enable sony playstation 3 Bluetooth controller to be an input device for android gadgets (including defy).

Hi,I'm new around here and I apologize if this is not the right place to post this... I had done on my HTC ARIA the S-OFF with XTC-clip and I've had flashed CM7 and clockworkmod..everything worked fine with the guy I had this things done but I can't access the recovery,just like when I had the stock 2.2...HBOOt is 0.59 or something like that but it's under 0.8 for sure! when I get into eng recovery I try to run the update.zip file but it fails and tells me that the signature verification failed...what can I do to be able to flash custom recoveries and ROMs and make clockwork work again?

P.S. Right now I have CM7 without the gapps..is there anyway that I can get them on the phone without having to run everything from the .zip file through the recovery?

Thanks!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
Hey,

I have a problem. My SD card has broken so I bought new one (Kingston 16GB, class4) I used ROM manager to install the Clockwork Recovery and wanted to make SD partition. Unfortunately it does not work. When the device reboots into recovery I got just the image with little green android and exclamation mark! I may move in clockwork but I cannot find Partition SD in "advanced".

Do you know what is wrong? Something with recovery?? Thank you!

I manged to partition it after I put my old clockwork recovery on SD.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You need to turn off signature verfication in clockworkmod recovery:

Start recovery>install zip from sdcard>toggle signature verfiy. Then flash the rom you want.

[Galaxy S II General] till69:
Nice, but native SIP is using wrong mic.

So its pretty useless right now. I recommend CSipSimple (nightly ginger builds), which works excellent, is integrated as well and let you choose a better codec.
[Galaxy S II General] mobilegalaxy:
there's already a patch in work to fix the issue with the mic.

Btw I'm also a huge fan of CSipSimple and consider it to be the best open source SIP client out there, even surpassing sipdroid in terms of functionality and variety of settings.
[Galaxy S II General] js931:
yep, csipsimple (nightly builds) is WAY better than sipdroid or built-in sip!

i'm a heavy sip user and tried everything.... csipsimple is the best!
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
thanks. I am sure this is good stuff Dialling fully numeric numbers is possible if I set call settings to always ask whether to use internet calling, but the samsung dialer doesn't allow calling sip addresses in the internet call section of a contact.

Or am I missing something?

perdon por mi ingles soy español

here is same modified from

[30.05.2011][CF-Root v3.5] KE2/7 - su+bb+CWM3

I can get outbound calling to work now. inbound doesn't work at all.

update: inbound does work, just when sgsii picks-up the dialling phone continues to ring as though the phone wasn't answered (though there is echo of audio picked up by the sgsii). Maybe my dialing phone has faulty setup? i dunno.
[Galaxy S II General] m_pascal:
I tried to make this trick but I don't know if it gone well.

I changed my framework-res.apk for to usa SIP under 3G but in settings I see a menu called "Use Internet Call (only WiFi)" (this in translated from italian, I don't know what is the right menu in english) with three options:

- For all calls

- Only for calls via Internet

- Ask me

Are the changes of framework-res.apk gone wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] cruiseyunfat:
For local SIP to dial you need to select allow receive calls under settings. Drains your battery like crazy though.
[Galaxy S II General] mobilegalaxy:
It seems that you encountered some kind of error while editing the framework-res.apk because obviously you're stuck on the old settings. When I first attempted to add 3G VoIP calling I couldn't set it up successfully either but when I gave it another try I could eventually get it to work.

After successfully modifying your framework-res.apk you should see the following Internet calling settings:

Option "Use Internet calling":

- For all calls when mobile network available

- Only for Internet calls

- Ask for every call

You can also use one of the frameworks uploaded by julianico or crypticc and then it should work.

@crypticc are you located behind a NAT? What are your settings? What SIP provider are you using?

There are tons of factors that could potentially cause this problem but the more info you provide the more likely we can help.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Very nice info. Perhaps we can change the keepalive in the smali sources? Just reading this made me think of it.
[Galaxy S II General] mobilegalaxy:
Pulser, that's an excellent idea and maybe we can make some other changes in the smali sources as well to offer end users even more options when fine-tuning their SIP settings?

As you may have noticed, the Android native sip stack doesn't allow users to choose their desired Codec, let alone prioritize them. I think the end users should at least be able to choose between the following codes:

G.711 (A-law and μ-law) (64 Kbps for good connections (e.g. Wifi))

G.726 (32 kbps)

G.729 (8 kbps for 3 G)

Despite supporting VoIP calls for handsets located behind a NAT (or otherwise we wouldn't have the keep-alive checkbox) the android SIP settings don't allow users to specify NAT related settings such as:

- Enter Stun server

- ICE

- DNS SRV

Settings for QoS and Echo cancellation are not present either, though I haven't experienced and echo problems during my test-calls yet.

I think these are the most important settings and if we could add them people will probably stick to the native client instead of downloading alternatives from the market that often cause problems with the native dialer of the phone :)
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Hi - thanks for replying.

My sip is pbxes.org. I also setup a test sip on another network to test the call to my PC. I have finally succeeded in getting incoming working by setting pbxes.org to direct via a ekiga.net trunk and setting incoming and outbound.

However, I don't believe that or the NAT is the issue - my question is more about how to physically make the call.

What I mean is that in my dialer I literally cannot enter the sip address to dial. Even if I setup the sip: detail in the internet call placeholder in my phonebook contacts there's no call button. :confused:

sip:1234567@pbxes.org for example.

I have had some success with copy-and-paste into the dialer app, and maybe the NAT thing matters a little because it is more resilient over 3g than NAT - but copy and paste is not ideal.
[Galaxy S II General] mobilegalaxy:
You’re right, NAT is definitely not the issue here as the NAT settings don’t affect the android dialer at all. I can’t enter a sip address in my dialer either and it appears to me that this feature has been intentionally disabled to deter people from calling a SIP target. I’m looking to find a remedy for this issue though.

In the meantime you can assign a SIP uri to a contact and then copy and paste it into the dialer and then you should be able to call the desired SIP uri. Alternatively you can also download a third-party app from the market (e.g. acrobits) which allows you to enter SIP uris directly without having to rely on copy and paste.
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
good call, will check it out. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Just a thought. On non samsung phone, long press menu brings up keyboard no matter what you are doing, if this could be enabled then it wouldn't matter what the phone keyboard allowed
[Galaxy S II General] BMWpokerAce:
Hey there,

for everyone who want to use the native android SIP stack,

i made an update.zip for CWM.

Important:

This Version is for WiFi only!

To

activate using SIP via 3G

, please follow first Post, after flashing my Native_Android_SIP.zip.

Just download the attach. and flash it with CWM.

Done!
[Galaxy S II General] mobilegalaxy:
I had the same thought and some VoIP clients actually support this feature. As far as I know some roms enable this feature too since many non-Samsung phones bring up a keyboard if you long press or double click the input field in the dialer app...

Also there are some dialers on the android market which might support this feature. I'm going to give some of them a try and let you know.

@BMWpokerAce thanks for the file

KE8

Hi,

Great work and thanks to the OP for this.

Will the modified one for CFroot KE7 work with CFRoot KE8?

( I have Lightning 1.2 installed).

I tried to enabled the 3g/sip myself, but I don't have Windows but Linux instead.

I did attempt this myself by unzipping the framework-res.zip but the bools.xml is nowhere to be found, along with the values directory.

Any ideas for modding this on Linux? (I know, someone will suggest using WINE :) ).

root@aa:~framework-res.extract/res# ls
anim	drawable-en-hdpi drawable-nodpi layout-port raw-da raw-es raw-hu raw-nl raw-tr xml-land
color	drawable-hdpi layout	raw	raw-de raw-fi raw-it raw-pl xml
drawable drawable-land-hdpi layout-land raw-cs	raw-en-GB raw-fr raw-ko raw-ru xml-en
root@aa:~framework-res.extract/res# cd values
-su: cd: values: No such file or directory

This gives nothing:
find -name bools.xml

PS. Although I see there is a point for SIP, I cannot understand why I would use it. From what I see, one has to create a SIP account somewhere with some company and pay for this. SIP is a standard, but from what I understand I have to connect with a third party server ($$s); I imagine someone has to pay for the phone number e.g There is OnSip.com, but the prices are very steep for the average residential client. Businesses can afford this, but my monthly mobile phone bill inclusive of data SMS and calls is about $20, but OnSip's cheapest is $40 yet only for a SIP account.

Or did I miss the point? Please would someone persuade me its a good idea? ( I already have Skype)
[Galaxy S II General] UncleScar:
The point of SIP clients is for business users primarily, for example, I can use it to login to my SIP phone when I'm walking around the office and if someone phones me, my mobile will ring, if I want to make an internal call, I simply dial an extension.

For a personal user, it's pretty much pointless unless you're running a SIP server at home.
[Galaxy S II General] forgetmyname:
Great. This makes sense. Thank-you for clearing this up.
[Galaxy S II General] EViL3666:
How exactly do you install this?

I can't see the system path either in Windows or using the file manager.

I have ROOT, using the VillainROM.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] mobilegalaxy:
You won't be able to modify your bools.xml file unless you decompile your framework.apk first. Once you have decompiled it you can edit the settings required for enabling 3G again (please refer to the first site of this thread for detailed instructions).

Secondly, there are many reasons for using SIP with the greatest benefit probably being the enormous amount of money you can potentially save. The prices of most VoIP providers are not steep at all and are extremely competitive when compared to standard mobile providers. :)

For example, justvoip.com allows you to call many landlines (USA, UK, France, Canada, Spain, Germany, Italy, France and many more) and even mobiles in certain countries (USA, HK, etc.) completely free of charge (all you have to do is open an account and fund it with 10 Euros and you can make free calls for up to 120 days (4 months), there's no monthly fee or any other hidden charges). This means that instead of having to pay the outrageous fees charged by your local mobile telecom provider, you can call these destinations for free. And even if your free days are exhausted you can continue using your prepaid funds (the 10 Euros you uploaded) to call most destinations for 0,01 Euro per minute. After the 120 days you can refund your account with another 10 Euros and you are entitled to yet another 120 days of free days... :cool:

This was just an example and there are hundreds of VoiP providers out there that offer attractive rates and a reliable service. All you need for making a VoIP call is a WiFI or a 3G connection (I"d recommend choosing an unlimited data plan as data plans are usually not that expensive).

As you can see, VoIP is not just for business users but also for the average joe who can save a lot of money in the long run when making international or even local calls. ;)

Last but not least you can also order incoming landline numbers (DID) from several countries and when your international friends call these numbers you can pick up the call on your mobile anywhere in the world. localphone.com for example offers many incoming numbers from various countries (USA, UK, France, Germany, Spain, etc.) for less than one (1) Euro per month and your friends can call these numbers and will only be charged the rate for a local call.

Summarized, VoIP offers many advantages and benefits and that's the reason why so many telecom provider fear it and are very adamant about banning it.
[Galaxy S II General] JLowe:
@mobilegalaxy

Thank you for this very nice description!

Is there any way to disable VOIP (In and Out process) completely - that you don't have any batters drain because of the Voip service - while 3G/WiFi is enabled without going into flightmode or deleting the Voip accounts?
[Galaxy S II General] mobilegalaxy:
JLowe, yes you can of course disable VoIP completely (or disable it temporarily) if you wish to do so. When using the native Android sipstack simply don't tick the "receive incoming calls" checkbox and it won't drain your battery at all (this way the sip stack will only connect to the Sipserver of your VoIP client if you choose to make an outgoing call via VoIP (which you don't have to)).

If you have installed other VoIP clients from the android market (Bria, Acrobits, etc.) you can simply turn them off completely by exiting the respective application (press menu and then on "exit"). Naturally, when the programs are not running they won't gobble up your battery but, not surprisingly, you can't receive any incoming calls through them.
[Galaxy S II General] JLowe:
Thank you for clarification!

I prefer the native solution too, but for now its not really usable if you need incoming calls working.

As you already mentioned in the first post it need some time to get through, hope there'll be a 100% working solution soon.
[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
One true story about usefullness of native sip when travelling. Just came back from a month long vacation in Europe. Unlike previous times this year did not even mention to my clients that I'm going away. Every day I would check my Google voice messages and if there was a need to call back to Canada I did so thanks to my magic jack.

Since I did not stay in one city but rather found myself in places with only gprs connection and no laptop I would go search for a restaurant with free wifi and after checking messages this time thanks to betamax services that give free calling to a number of countries with 4 pennies on the account but 437 freedays remaining go and do my business.

Came back and did not miss a thing and did not pay a thing.
