[HTC Sensation] rumpleforeskin:
unfortuantly i do not have a wired headset with any button controls to test foe you. But i do use a couple of bluetooth headsets and the AVRCP is fully supported.

Not exactly what your after but may be of some interest to you
[HTC Sensation] shammanCZ:
I have old Koss wired phones w/ controler i used with ipod and it doesnt work ... as for sennheiser, the bundled hs which came with my previous phone the HTC HD mini was from sennheiser so maybe even that one comming with sensation is
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
As of this moment, I can only confirm that the Play/Pause button on headphones designed for iPhone works normally on the Sensation without having to use Christoph Kober's Headset Button Controller app (which is really, really awesome in case anyone is wondering).

This is in contrast to, for example, the Nexus S I had before which would not properly recognize any button inputs at all. I had to use the controller app to get music working on that phone.

I'll reinstall the Headset Button Controller app and test it out with my girlfriend's iPhone earbuds tonight, and I'll get back to you once I confirm whether or not it reads the Volume Up and/or Volume Down buttons. I have the sneaking feeling that it won't, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised :]
[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Thx sosquidtaste

I really appreciate your effort.

There are a ton of really good headphones out there sold as iPhone capable with controllers that woud be great to be able to use them (working) on the Sensation. I can understand why they are marketed to the iphone folks, but it seems they miss a big chunk of the market by not working with other devices..

(I like the Sennheisers because they go around the back of your neck as one unit - not a big fan of bud style)

So, here's hoping!

Cheers

Jabberoo
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Sorry mate-- I just checked in the app's debug mode and confirmed that the Sensation still doesn't recognize anything but the center button on earbuds designed for iPhones. It was worth a shot!
[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Bugger...!

Appreciate the effort. I wonder why this is such an 'out there' thing? To me at least, it would seem logical for the OS to support something so, well, basic as headphone control. Wonder why there has been no 'universal format' for this type of thing.

....sigh.
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Glad to help-- I was pretty curious about this too, given just how well the center button behaved even without the headset controller app. I just wish it turned up more encouraging results.

Competing platforms are great for the most part, except when small but important features get shot up in the crossfire ;(
[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
As I understand it, the control issue is related to specific hardware configurations in the headphone port of our phones so not even the most righteous of hacks will enable them to read input that they aren't wired to receive ;(

I'm no engineer though, so I'd be happy to be contradicted by someone in the know
[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Interesting...

So why I wonder, does the HTC specific Headphones work?

Do they use a different set of rules/hardware/ whatever...?

Curious.

Cheers to all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgonma:
All of a sudden last week my track ball is stuck on lit up in green.

I'm running OS 2.3.4 Build GRJ22.

How do I get it to go off?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Do you remember what you were doing when this started happening? What have you done to try and fix it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyboosey:
A few months ago my headphone jack stopped working on my ATT Samsung Captivate. I can still play mp3s through the speaker, but if I plug headphones I only get distorted noise. I've read that this can be due to a dried out capacitor in the headphone amp. Is there a way to verify this? I'm running Serendipity 6.2, with Voodoo Sound. If not, is there a reliable place to get this replaced / how much should it cost?

thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
I would reflash to stock KB1 and then try different headphones, songs, and try a friends captivate or phone. If not, call ATT for a warranty replacement.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Anyway to change out the camera to a higher resolution?
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I asked this too, but didn't get any good replies. People just asked me why I would want to. Their argument is that hte resolution is good enough for a webcam, which is basically all it can be used for anyway.

They explained that holding this large tablet up to take actual photos would make me look like an idiot...I mean, I am an idiot, but I guess I'm supposed to prevent myself from looking the part.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I want a better webcam, damn it.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
I think you can get a better camera bundled with a new tablet :)
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
You can get GPS and a better ROM bundled with a new tablet, too, but people still find ways to do it with a gTab. :)
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
It could be worse, you could have bought an iPad 2
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
I take the train everyday to and from the city. I think it's funny how ipad 1 and 2 owners always manage to sit next to me while I'm playing with my gtab.
[G Tablet General] gtabrocks:
G-Tab does get looks from ipad users

Yup. I'm excited to get on the gtab bandwagon. Had it for about a month now and have tried 3 roms. On Vegan RC1 now and contemplating Illuminate HC. It runs great on Gingerbread. I added the carbon fiber/skinomi to it and WOW...it is pretty much a custom/expensive looking pad now! It beats any pad out there just by looks!

I can see how ipad users want to "sit next to us gtab users" coz they know they can't tweak their pads like we can! :-)
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Actually, I suspect they sit next to me to show off what they have. If there's one thing I know about ipad users is that they are proud of what they have. It's like lexus drivers showing off their really nice right off the assembly line lexus to a beat up impala like mine.

In their eyes, I'm using a piece of crap. So, they sit next to me and take out their ipad to show off what they have. I've talked to a couple of them and they were very surprised when I showed them how responsive and fast my gtab was. Before, they always thought that anything other than an ipad = slow, sluggish, and unresponsive.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
That's because the only way they can see what the hell you're doing with it is to sit more or less in your lap :)
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
hahaha this made me laugh. Back to topic, yes I have looked into this but I have not found a similar camera that supports the cable that connects to the G-tab. Now that the GPS project has come to a close I might need a new one... ;)

EDIT: ok, camera prolly isn't gonna happen. There really isn't much information out there on this sort of mod. Here are a couple pics of the ribbon cable the camera connects to the board via.

Here is the port it connects to on the mainboard (top right):

If someone can find more info on this, I will do more digging. Oh ya, one more thing. I found a PDF datasheet that might be similar to the one that we have installed. It is attached below.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotellian:
just wondering if anyone else has experienced issues with their wifi re-connecting after waking up from standby since 'upgrading' to 2.3.4? Mine used to be flawless, but now regularly experiences problems where it wont connect for ages or i have to restart the wifi or reboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primal2005:
Mine too would take awhile before re-connecting.

How long is "ages" for you? I never had to reboot the phone, but I have resorted to restarting wifi.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraspas:
Yeah..weird, I have the same issues. Thank goodness I'm not the only one. Seems to take the wifi a min to kick in coming from standby. And its greyed out once it comes on...so goto takes ANOTHER minute for it to turn green! What gives?

Hopefully, this new patch will solve these issues...fingers crossed!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotellian:
'Ages' would probably be a minute or so? This morning i had to exit the browser and restart wifi to get it working again. Not a major hassle but a bummer considering it worked so well before!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiefdroid:
My Nexus S has the wi-fi re-connect issue as well. It takes a while to connect, sometimes it's immediate and somtimes up to two minutes.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primal2005:
There's a patch?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraspas:
Yeah Sprint is releasing an OTA fix July 11 that will make the phone have better 'signal acquisition'...we can only hope right?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekhna:
So I'm using my TBolt as my primary internet right now, as my connection hasn't been hooked up yet at my new place, but I'd love to be able to download apps that Amazon thinks are wifi only, like today's game. Is there a way to make the Appstore think I'm on wifi? Probably a stretch, but curious.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Just go ahead and get the app. Even if you can't download it now, at least it will show you purchased it and you can then download it once you get a chance to hookup to wifi.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bslydem:
Yeah i dont understand this whole Wifi only thing they shouldn't be worried about my data charges 4G is here and I've downloaded way bigger files over 3G.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintonroche:
What is funny is that my 4g LTE is faster than any WiFi i have been on lately. The only reason I even have WiFi at home at this point is for my TIVO and VOIP Phone that is connected to my home alarm.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
would downloading through a proxy help? are they checking ip or connection type?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
yeah... they should really disable wifi only for phones with 4G.

3G i guess i can see the argument but LTE is faster than most home networks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boristhebladexx:
the appstore lets me download over 4G. im using CM7.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Amazon has some apps that are "wifi" only downloads. Those will fail to download if you are not on wifi.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sundar2012:
in settings in the appstore app u can change it to allow apps as big as 20mb to dl over cellular data. larger than that and u still have to use wifi. Still the default is really low (like 1mb or 5mb).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camoko:
Why not just visit your local McDonalds or Starbucks or whoever has free Wifi and download the app? Heck, go outside, I'm sure there are plenty of unsecured networks around you can use :rolleyes:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariol90:
but LTE is faster, that's the point. :P
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
That is true, however, at this point in time, LTE is a very small portion of network usage compared to 3G, so we have to remember that when Amazon limits large downloads to wifi only, they are probably looking at the user base as a whole. That will probably change soon as more LTE devices come out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:
Get a friend to turn on his mobile hotspot it worked and downloaded quick for me using tmobile network.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
I been wondering the same thing for a while now, that's the only thing hate about the amazon app store and it reminds me of the iPhone appstore(you can't download any apps that are bigger then 20mb) , I hope there is a fix soon
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Again, this is probably because they have to "play nice" with all the carriers out there, so they don't want to be accused of causing too much traffic on any carriers wireless network.

The Amazon app store is becoming more and more popular, since they offer a free app a day and since it's not "Google", they are probably making sure they don't get anyone mad by driving up bandwidth usage.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
That's what I find ironic...

Reminds me of when I wireless tethered my friends two iPhones in the car so they can facetime. Now that was a great waste of verizon bandwidth. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dms76:
Don't forget 4G for everyone else is around 1-2 Meg and Verizon has the fastest LTE available. You'd probably need a separate Amazon App for VZW customers, but your right it sucks! I've run into apps like Co-Pilot that refuse to download anything unless it's via Wifi.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Is working on the EVO 4G now , no luck on my TB tho

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...g-downloads-over-some-4g-for-wi-fi-only-apps/
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leachpunk:
Eh.. I know you pulled that 1-2 meg figure from your ass. Sprint has the lowest 4g at 10Mbps, TMobile and AT&T are at 42Mbps.

Anyhow, this is annoying of Amazon to do. There should be a way to change or disable just like most other apps offer.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l7777:
Please don't believe the marketing department. Show me an AT&T or TMobile device that actually sees that speed. While the 1-2 stated by the previous poster is false, 42 is equally false and I can't speak for sprint. LTE is superior to HSPA+ and wimax or the other carriers wouldn't be planning LTE rollouts in the future.

Back on topic, Amazon is just perpetuating the nanny-statism that is ruining this country. We have to be protected from ourselves. We can no longer be trusted to read our contracts and understand what we have. This is also helped along by lawsuit stupidity. If Amazon didn't prevent people from blasting through their data packages, some idiot would sue them. Thus the rest of us who can actually read and understand a contract suffer.

If you have a Senation already....

Just wondering if a Call Recorder app will work with the Sensation..?? I currently use the SPB Recorder on my Winmo TP2 to record and play back calls and it is a lifesaver with client calls (my memory is bad!)

Really would like to know before getting a Sensation as this is a very useful feature to me. Sorry if this has been covered, but would appreciate any specific info for call recording (not off the speaker). Appreciate it if anyone has the knowledge or wants to try it out....

Cheers to all.
[HTC Sensation] lezouave:
I tried out "2-way Call Recorder Free" and it did record both sides of the conversation. Speakerphone was off too, so it's apparently working correctly.

Many thx lezouave

That is really good to know...!

Appreciated

[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
How did you get it to work? Whenever I hit the 'rec' button on the little popup, it turned on the speakerphone to record.
[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Actually, really want the auto record function. To have to press an additional button seems redundant when/if ALL calls can be recorded...

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
I know.. I still wouldn't mind it if it actually worked though! :)
[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Still on this...

Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?

Still really (really) want this function.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] aniketsharma9865:
I use total recall newest version...it works great
[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Thx for that.

Curious though, does it record well and 'without' the loudspeaker on?

In other words, does it record both sides of the call without an issue - there are other reports saying it needs to turn the loadspeaker on to work.

Please be kind enough to give some more details for all who are interested.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
both apps do not work for me...

the total recall made my phone go crazy..wouldnt record anything, couldnt hang up, then once I hung up the phone still thought I was on a call and the screen kept going on/off everytime I moved it...not good.

The other one (2 way call recorder) worked, but forced speaker phone. also, not good.

Any other options? I have a feeling Sense and the HTC dialer is part of the issue here..
[HTC Sensation] jewelkobayashi:
I think this is what u may want

Androrec call recorder

It records both sides of the conversation, without having to put it on speaker, AND it starts recordings automatically.

All I have to do is periodically go into my SD card and wipe off non-essentials to save space.

And, before I get asked, I have no idea if I have S-off phone or not. I have no idea how to check, but guess have no need to, because my sensation does everything I want it to...
[HTC Sensation] superas:
Thank you, I will try it.
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
AndroRec didn't work for me on the Sensation... could barely hear the other side.

Looks like Sensation is one of those phones that doesn't work well with the recording apps.
[HTC Sensation] aniketsharma9865:
Yeah...it works without loudspkr turned on...and for both way...
[HTC Sensation] TommyVDK:
Tried Androrec on my Sensation and it doesn't work for me. Can hear myself, but not the other end. :(

[HTC Sensation] jabberoo:
Thx to all for the info.

do i have to have a different op system running on my x10 to work? im just confused about what i need to to lol...

Android ID is used in Google Services Framework (push notifications, etc) that works with 2.2 and above.

If you're using Eclair, the changer won't work and is anyway useless, because you don't have such ID. So tell us which ROM you are on.

And why would you want to change it in the first place?

Hi,

First, Thanks to all the developers!

Amazing work!

I wanted to ask if there is a chance to change the priority of this issue to HIGH

(http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/issues/detail?id=11)

eventually, the main use is for talking and this issue really annoys everyone who's calling..

I was looking for solution and found this thread.. but I'm not a DEV so I can't say if it's good for our mini or not..

but as i can see they had different issue than our

they had Background noise fix / mic gain fix and we have echo on the side of person who we are talking to...
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
i might have some ideas for this, i will have a look later after sensors fix ;-)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
we definitely need to edit oncrpc devices like schlund maded for gps! Please see *.h in /root/android/kernel-htc-hd-mini-testing/arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp5_comp

This is maybe good: #define AUDMGR_PROG 0x30000013

and I think this is not good: #define AUDMGR_CB_PROG 0x31000013

Also in this folder we have many many definitions like jpeg task etc..etc...etc... Cotulla also maded some changes there!

Update:

youtube fix is also there? As I recall the first port of 2-6-32, the big problem was here, and I think this have priority checking! => mach-msm/include/mach/msm_adsp.h
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
i already checked the rpc values, they are correct, same than on windows DLL.

for youtube and camera, the key issue is adsp_photon.c, where cotula imported src for photon.

for headset mic, there must be a DEX or RPC to trigger.

if you want to fix it, you need to spy on windows first (gpio or DEX) or check on topaz/raphael/leo how they enable headset
[HD Mini Android Development] Wowser:
There is discussion in various forums for other Android phones and Android apps (eg. SIP/VoIP) that a temporary fix is to just turn down the volume on the earpiece. But since the in-call volume is yet to be fixed for the Photon (meaning it can be quite loud!), perhaps you could try using the headset (if you can tolerate the high volume) when speaking and see if the echo problem has gone away. Or try using loudspeaker and see if the other party reports the echo issue to see if echo cancellation operates to make a difference.
[HD Mini Android Development] liorderei:
I can say for myself that when i put loudspeaker in call its getting worse?
