[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
Hi!

Initially had this issue when I bought my N1 (a store sample) and it re-surfaced a week ago. Now this is from experience only, so I'm not pretending to know whether "your N1 fails to initialize soundboard for reason X"....

Issue that I solved succesfully is this:

I had no sound from the phone speaker (no ringing, no alerts, no music) - and actually all phonecalls were also silent (and ended up rebooting the phone about 15 secs into the call). What's freaky is that I was able to play music, hear alerts, take calls etc. over my headphones!

I was suspecting something to be wrong with the ringtones from the SD card.

So before wiping your phone (even with nandroid recovery it's a b*tch of a job) try this: Reset all alert tones to some default tones (which are in the rom). Turn N1 off, remove SD & sim, then let it reboot. Then power down, insert sim, keep SD out. Reboot. You should get the tones/sounds/in-call audio back after a few tries of these combinations. You can also try unmounting/remounting the card repeatedly. Also, it may help if you have a second SD card ready (empty or without). When you get the sound back, you can again start using your custom tones off the SD card.

(I usually wipe any unused ringtones in the process, and have even removed the tones from my card, and then reinserted them on the SD, which also seems to work after a few power-down/power-up cycles.)

Sorry, it's totally "unscientific" but if you have, say, half an hour to a full hour to spare do the above and your N1 will be back on track.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Pistolero0 is right we could use a little more info. Another thing that I would like to know is can you play sound through the headphone jack or Bluetooth or is it just the phone speaker.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
Uh-oh... Just when I answered, I got the same problem again. This time, it's taken me a day to cycle/recycle. I've gotten the sounds back twice, only to lose them due to a random re-boot. I'm still suspecting it's a question of the SD notifications/ringtones messing up something in the system. (Or it's due to a certain app getting installed or uninstalled.)

So, the sound sometimes comes back, sometimes doesn't.

So, I'm also asking for help on this one....

Symptoms

No in-call audio whatsoever

No audio through internal speaker (the ear-speaker)

No audio through the speakerphone-speaker (on the back)

No notification sounds, no alarm sounds, no ringing.

Music cannot play (the track doesn't seem to advance).

All audio works over bluetooth headset - I can hear notifications/ringtones/alarms, screenlock sound, and even music (winamp & stock).

However, I still cannot make a call over BT (I do hear the ringing, but the audio doesn't connect on an incoming call. Outbound calls are completely silent on BT phones as well.

No sound whatsoever over the standard plugin HF-headphones (the ones that came with the N1).

So my plea is also, how do I fix this? (Wiped & Nandroid-backuped once, but the problem resurfaced, so I don't think that's the thing, then).

EDIT: Now trying the passimg method (FRG83-->GRI40-->root-->GRJ22+SU.zip) - I guess I should have done this aways back, (like 3months ago when I got my N1) but didn't.

There we go, froyoed for a while
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
What a bummer... Froyo, but NO sound. [O]I guess it is a hardware thing then after all, despite all the evidence I've seen so far?[/O]

RESULTS

Some hours later am now back on rooted stock GRJ22, but still no sounds. This must then be a hardware thing - albeit one that doesn't manifest itself always.

Suspecting something is wrong with the 3,5mm plug? (Or a wire is crossed somewhere, which silences the ear-speaker and speakerphone speaker alike).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
Still suffering. Anyone got an idea?

Did anyone get their problem solved?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Well I've never had this problem but can I ask you a question when you flash do you use 3X system wipe and 5X data/cache wipe because I don't really think this is hardware cause or else in theory if it is hardware the problem should stay even after a reflash unless it is consistent with something else (example every time you hit X amount of memory used, every time you hit X amount of run time, etc).

So try the 3X system and 5X data/cache and see what happens.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
You mean first do the system + data/cache wipes, then flash?

By system wipe, you mean the usual reset-to-factory status kind of wipe?

And how do you proceed with the data/cache wipe? Like, with Titanium or some other choice?

Sorry for the n00biness, I try not to flash schtuff too often. Anyway, I'm going to try your suggestion out as soon as I can.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Sorry for the late reply I haven't had much free time lately but why I say system wipe I mean either use temasek system wipe (if on Amon RA) or the built in wipe system option in clockwork mod depending on your recovery. And for data/cache that is the factory reset.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _raz_:
Update - One Factory Servicing Later, a fix of sorts

Okay. After two weeks of consternation I walked to the service center.

6 wks later (that would be today) I got my N1 back....

Motherboard had been replaced, rigid flex had been replaced, antenna had been replaced. Warranty repairs on level 1 & level 2 had been done. Anyway, quiiiiite happy now.

And yes, I do have sound. Luckily, I was still within warranty, and will continue to be. Lovely.

(Presently going back the FRG83 - FRG83D - FRG83G - GRI40 (gingerbreak root) - GRJ22 route).
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
I've noticed that the data on the Sensation seems to have a bit of latency. I decided to poke around in the phone as much as I can and I found a setting called "toggle ciphering". When I turned "toggle cyphering" off, my data seemed to greatly improve. I am not getting the same data lag that I was previously getting. Hopefully this isn't just some coincidence. Well without further delay, here's what I did:

-Go into the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*

-Select Phone Info

-Go to the "toggle cyphering" button and disable it

-For good measure turn off radio and then turn it back on

-Then reenable the "toggle cyphering" button

This seems to have made a difference for me, hopefully this helps everyone. Please post your results after doing this. :)

P.S. Mods I meant to put this thread in the General section. Sorry about that :)
[HTC Sensation] Moleculinary:
This is no fix. With turning off you allow everyone to read your data. This is dangerous !!!
[HTC Sensation] catohagen:
might be unsafe settings to play with, but i did try 'toggle cyphering' off and damn

the speed is really noticable faster...

thx for the tip :)
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
ok good to see it isn't just me. Also I found that you can turn the cyphering back on and still maintain the speed increase. Browsing on my Sensation is now faster than on my G2X when I compared them side by side. Before my G2X was winning hands down, now the Sensation is coming out faster.
[HTC Sensation] Crew One:
This may be a n00by question, but to which 'data' are you referring? Would that be the 3G connection?
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
It seems that anything data related seems to run slow. My experience with this phone has been such that whether you were on wifi or 3g/4g it seemed to have a bit of latency for whatever reason.
[HTC Sensation] staulkor:
Wow, got a major speed boost in bandwidth and latency. Thanks for the tip!
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
It seems to have helped. I used to get Network error on the Market a few times, even though I had 4 bars on a 4G connection. Now it connected right away after a few seconds, and only one network error. Thanks for the tip. What would happen if we just left the data ciphering off?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Did you notice he said "turn it back on" afterwards :p
[HTC Sensation] Alfaspyke:
:)

The OP was edited.

The Turn back on is from post#4
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Thanks for the tip.

Excuse the noob question but is the UK version of the Sensation 4G capable? I know the UK doesnt have 4G infrastructure in place yet but if I was to take the phone to the States for example would I get a 4G connection?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Ah ok. My mistake, and apologies.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
As far as I know it wouldn't, as it doesn't have the correct hardware inside it to connect to 4G data bands. Our devices are GSM here, in the States, it's CDMA.
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
Actually, T-Mo is GSM over here in the States, too.
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
I just don't understand what it means 'turn off radio'? You mean mobile data, or what? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Tmo's "4G" network is just the same as our HSDPA+ networks in Europe. So you would get "4G" speeds in USA, yes.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Fix worked great. My phone is running much faster. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Would be great if I do. Im going to California in two weeks so i'll post back as to whether it works or not.
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Just under the Toggle Cyphering button there is a button to Turn off Radio. Push this, wait a few moments and then turn it back on again. Failing that just put the phone in Airplane mode.
[HTC Sensation] rahan95:
Works very well for me too.

I had noticed Speedtest would fail the upload test on my device all the time, just freezing

Now, I'm getting an excellent 1.6 Mbps upload speed !

Thanks !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MWaV:
ok very basic question, getting better at the flashing of ROMs, what can I do to save space on my SD cards when changing ROMs, I mean what files can i remove on my SD card or move to my computer to save space because each time Im running out of memory more and more?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] k_nivesout:
You can delete the rom after flashing it, also if you have lots of backups, that can start taking up a lot of space quickly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] z3r0-c0d3r:
My Touch Pro randomly stopped booting, I had it charging and then the screen refused to come back on no matter how many times I pressed the power button.

So I took out the battery and after I put it back in it started turning on without me pressing the power button and it stayed on the boot screen for a long time and then went to a black screen with the message:

I tried pressing send and every other button but nothing happens. Even tried hard resetting it but nothing happens! The message just stays on the screen till the battery dies.

Does anyone know how I can get it working again?

Btw when I press volume down and the reset button I get the tri colour SPL screen, if that is relevant
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
Are you positive this a GSM TP? Also, you can provide the type of device for others to see if they have a similar device and perhaps they may be able to shed some light as to what may be the problem. Check your device, behind the battery compartment you'll see a couple of bar codes. Look for one called IMEI and just above it you should see RAPH###, where # equals any number between 0-9. If you have a GSM device, have you attempted to flash anything yet? I'd start with task29 and then flash either a stock ROM or if you already have HSPL'd your phone, then use a custom ROM of choice. If you find out that you have anything else besides a GSM device, you might be better off waiting on someone else to answer. :)

Hey guys,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I really really would love it if someone could supply me/us the pin outs for the A500's dock connector!

I understand its proprietary, but I want to extend the tablets' connector into my car at some stage in the near future...

I will be purchasing a dock for this tablet over the next couple of weeks, and when I do, I'll open it and try and trace the audio and power lines, but it will be interesting to see if there are any other interesting pins we can use... USB host anyone? haha.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MWaV:
ok I seem to still be a newbie at this, maybe not be a newbie to flashing but just to the commands, ... so here it is

I want to go into recovery, i hold the down and the power button, it does its thing, and then I push recovery and then i always get the triagnle and exclamation point, or i will reboot into recovery by holding down the power button push restart, select into recovery, then phone reboots and goes right to exclamation point on triangle, im told each time to enter these commands to get to recovery

adb push recovery /

adb shell busybox --install /sbin

adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &...

is there a better way to get to recovery or what am I doing wrong to always get that triangle and exclamation mark?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
So I hadn't seen it here specifically, so I thought I would mention em. Kairosoft is a company that makes simulation games.

But the problem is.... Their games are terribly addicting.

The first one to hit the android market is called Game Dev Story, and it's a game that puts you right dab in the center of a game company. You have to run it, build games, win awards and even build consoles.

The second one to hit the market was Hot Springs Story, and this time you play as a manager of a Japanese Hot Spring/Hotel and it's a lot like the tycoon games where you have to build buildings and rooms, etc... This one is far more challenging but very fun.

And finally Grand Prix Story which came out just a few days ago; has you creating a Racing Team to compete in races and GPs. Possibly even more addicting than Game Dev Story.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
ive heard nothing but good things about game dev, ill play it as soon as i finish the 15 games currently on my nook.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
So, I just counted the number of games on my nook. I have 64 games on it!!!

That's not including emulators and most of the casual games (I mostly have them for my phone). I think I need counseling :D.

... and yeah, Game Dev Story is awesome! I'll have to give the others a shot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kbz405:
Anyone have any info on how to unlock the surcharger or more cars with grand prix? I'm lost lol
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
So far, I've found most cars are earned through the Advertisers, Races, or upgrading another Car (I think I unlocked a car by doing this)... The chargers I unlocked on my first play through and didn't think much of it since I was past Y14. But I think it was through fully upgrading the Gears lineup, not sure though...

Kind of don't like Grand Prix Story after going through it 3 times... Keeping only one item that you most likely won't even be able to install right away is stupid, there's no way in knowing if the staff are going to be better or worse, you just either replace them and hope, or stick with the crapshoot mechanics or driver you have.

And finally, ending on Year 14... Why? Why not atleast year 20?

After going through it three times, my initial first play through where I knew nothing... Is my highest score, imagine that...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bigbird21:
I think the supercharger comes from one of the advertiser (one with chimpanzee)

New car design comes from winning race and satisfied advertiser .

fastest way to grow it seems. a) after winning first round and getting 'buggy design" stick with that car. speed, acceleration, specially getting V8 engine asap.

The buggy car should win the first grand prix. after short use of proto car, just enough to win germany, where you get super car. So far this is my best, easiest car.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
A few nights ago I killed all the running apps on my atrix and turned off all network services like bluetooth and wifi except for mobile data. 9 hours later (with no use) the battery had dropped seven percent. Then I turned off mobile data as well and did the same thing. 9 hours later the battery had dropped 5 percent. On my iphone 3G I left data on and 9 hours later the battery had dropped 0 percent.

It seems to me that because android has multitasking, things that you don't need stay running in the background and although the battery usage by each is minimal, after long periods of time the battery usage adds up. On phones like the iPhone 3G, there is no multitasking (I didn't use backgrounder) so no applications or services were running and therefore no battery was drained.

My question is if there is a way to turn every application and service off other than those that govern calls and texts so that the idle battery usage is minimal and more comparable to phones like the iPhone 3G?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
There was a thread about this in the nexus one forum. Miui if my memory serves... It consisted of running apps right off the sd card via dark tremors and some serious autokiller memory optimizer tweaks.

I heard mixed results of great battery life and corrupt sd cards. Either way there are better ways of achieving good battery life whilst keeping that snappy multitasking of android.

Sent from my Googletron
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
Is miui available on the atrix? It doesn't show up in their list of supported phones?

If anyone else has any other solutions please post them too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
Yea, I don't think you can get miui on the atrix.

BTW, I instead of just disconnecting mobile data I turned on airplane mode and it lost 3 percent battery in 7 hours (cell standby was gone from battery usage and phone idle was at 90% with display at 5%). Extrapolating to 9 hours makes it 3.7% which means that simply searching for a connection contributes to half of the battery usage when idle.

Putting my phone in airplane mode is not a good solution... does anyone have any other ideas?

Just curious if anybody has seen the Windows 7 phone animations... They seem pretty slick and was curious if there was a way to implement them in to Android... I know Android has some but maybe just me but I think the windows animations and transitions are slick.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I dug around for some wp7 animations myself and didn't come across anything. I did find the launcher 7 home app in the market its sick and has all the animations. I purchased it couldn't pass up a 1.99 launcher with weekly updates.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starkillers:
Nice, maybe one of the devs can check that out and see if they can implement those
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] neyenlives:
For comm rom ukb 2.0 please. In the previous versions i could simply drop the latinime.apk in /apps and latinime.so in /lib and reboot and it would replace the gb keyboard with the stock android keyboard.. It doesnt work with UKB 2.0. i cant stand the gb or samsung or swype keyboards.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stereoblind:
+1. I miss the android kb so much.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
For those that like it ( I don't understand how one wouldn't want to use a multitouch kb... but personal preference I suppose) you will have to delete the kb in system /app... there was a naming error where it got named latinime.apk.apk so that's why the newer kb won't over write it
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Snakehn:
if i have a stock rom and wanted to use the keyboard from commrom, can i just swap the LatinIME file or is there any other file needed? thanks
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
yes, but i named the one in com rom incorrectly so its LatinIME.apk.apk...so either rename it or delete ur existing latineime in systema/app before pushing the com rom one
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Snakehn:
no dice, "The application Gingerbread Keyboard has stopped unexpectedly"

it shows up in the settings but keeps force closing.:( oh well.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
did you push the lib file for it too?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Snakehn:
Yeah i missed that step, all good now, thanks ;)

one more question, i saw this thread where you posted an AOSP lockscreen file for the Charge, could i use that same file for the fascinate? also is it only that file necessary to replace?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094387
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
no, it wont work on the fascinate...sbrissen has it integrated into the tsm parts which is flashable over the deodexed rom
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] neyenlives:
Thanks nitsuj17. what is multitouch and why is it so great? I find the new keyboards rather horribke to be honest.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] neyenlives:
Yay for Android keyboard! I wish it were at least an option in the rom but at least it's still working now.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
because the gingerbread keyboard that we include has the package name as latinime under the hood it will always replace stock android...id imagine if we edited the apk it would work for both, but then we could run into other random issues
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Falcyn:
The Gingerbread keyboard *is* now the "stock Android keyboard," too. It's just newer than the one the Fascinate comes with.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] neyenlives:
Stock for GB. Not stock for Froyo. The Froyo keyboard is so much easier to type on. Its clean and simple. Cleaner than the GB kb.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
Well that's up to each personal opinion on which is more useful... however the gb kb is multitouch whereas stock is not... so in practice gb is more practical

but hey everyone has their own preference
