I am having this issue pretty bad right now. Im starting a new job soon and don't want to have to worry about it. Im glad that the charge is a possibility. I suppose ill take a incredible 2 if I have to. I will miss the fascinate though :(

Just a quick question on this, do you have to use your $90 deductible? Thanks all!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrainOsand:
I think your confusing warranty rplcmnt with an insurance replacement.......
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitsuj17:
Everyone is grandfathered into unlimited data that had it before July 7 regardless of 3g or 4g devices at the time...so (at least for now) you can even upgrade on contract prices and not be affected

All that scare stuff that was going around post thunderbolt launch through June was just rampant speculation without solid information....tiered data was coming but no one really knew the specifics....I'd imagine Verizon even benefited from it as countless people upgraded early out of fear

@GrainOsand: Be ready to receive a refurbished Charge with no battery, battery door, charger, and SD card.

Just got mine and it was missing all of that despite the fact I was told I would be receiving a brand new phone. I'm now waiting to speak with a supervisor about that. I'm pissed. >:O
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrainOsand:
That sux, JoeT just got his and was only missing the sim card, which I knew wouldnt be included, cause the store rep told me I would have to bring the phone in to get it.... Did they fullfil your claim over the phone. I was told I had to go store in order to avoid incomplete replacement. Let me know how you make out. Good luck
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirgeExtinction:
I began the process on the phone and finished it in store. Now it's a pita to get to talk to a supervisor. :/ Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
So I opened the back of the A500 and looked around abit and switched places with the microphone and the noise canceller. And now at least when I record, peoples voices can be heard pretty decent. Plus I drilled a hole in the 'hole' to open up the space for the sound to come in abit.

So even with the Acer case on you can hear the voices pretty well :)

Before you couldnt hear anything. But now the whole google voice thing isnt so easy to use since the mic is face the opposite way but I never used it anyways, plus for VOIP calls its much better to use a headphone.

Just sharing :)

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Cheers!

Edit: From what I saw in the back I believe the microphone could be changed to a better one some day. Just a matter of finding a good replacement.

(01/08/2011)Add: Here is a sample of the sound when you record a person speaking infont of the iconia now with my mod.

Link sample with modded microphone: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33166156/Test.3gp

This is my son and as you can see you can hear him perfectly well :)

I think the noise canceller could be adjusted to 'muffle' the screeching sound abit.

Cheers!

Edit: Link was broken, fixed now.
[Acer Iconia A500] mnaderi:
i am really thinking about doing that. Iit easy to open the case?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Yes its actually very easy, you have to begin at the corner either left or right on the bottom of the A500 (meaning the Dock port area) you take something very thin and sturdy but be careful not scratch it up or bend to hard just make an opening maybe 2,3mm then stick something plasticky (like a protective shield cover slate) but strong and stick in the opening and drag slowly to the right until the entire left side is open (left to the Dock port I mean) and then from there you just gently lift up up until you have the whole bottom open and then you just again you the plastic tool to drag the sides (left and right) and just gently lift with the plastic tool and slowly it will loosen bit by bit once you have left and right and the bottom released then you just hold the whole thing and lift it and with will click off by itself from the upper part.

Here is a video showing pretty much what I described, its very easy:

That tear down video makes things look easy :p
[Acer Iconia A500] gamualexander:
...there's a tear down vid? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mnaderi:
thanks, i opened it up and did some tweaking unfortunately it's only about 30% better, i also made a hole for the case as well. how much did yours improve when you did your mods. i'm guessing the rear mic has to be tweaked as well. :) thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Did you switch places with the mic and the noise canceller?
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Pull the Mic out take it to radio shack and get a better set of mic to go in there.I have done this with Michael and internal speakers on notebooks. But I have Bluetooth high def headset. So no need here
[Acer Iconia A500] sda.171:
this mic problem is seriously killing me.

I often use my tabto record videos but i can never hear any voices cause they are really low. So i am ready to do anything to the tab for a better microphone experience.

As far as drilling holes is concerned, i would want to know where is the mic suitated if there are two. I do noe that one is on the top of the screen in the middle gap between the metal cover n screen glass. Is there another one?

And what can be possibly done to fix or better this issue?

I even tried voip and no1 could hear me, very disappointing pls help sum1.....

THIS BUILD IS OUTDATED, CHECK:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1177721

I'd like to "present" my recompilation of XDAndroid FRX06 to work with Neopeek's CWM 1.8

No credit for me, but for all XDAndroid devs and Neopeek &co for this.

It doesn't have any other modifications apart from making it available to install from CWM, so everything that applies to FRX06 is useful here. You're the one to decide if you prefer looped or partitioned installs.

Don't try this if you don't know what you're doing. It's only tested by me, so what I'm looking for are TESTERS. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

Normally it would be easy to return to previous state by repartitioning/formatting SD, but who knows. I take no responsability for any damage to your device.

The instructions for installing CWM are in Neopeek's forum. Only points:

1.- My partition schema, for 8Gb SDCard, is:

1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)

2nd partition: EXT2 (system / 150MB) Contains /system - the base ROM

3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 400 MB) Used as device's internal memory. You can use more if you install a lot of non-movable apps, but between 4 and 500 should do.

4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 100MB) Dalvik's cache. 100 should be enough

I used Minitool Partition Wizard for the partitioning.

2.- Startup.txt, ts-calibration, kernel and modules must be in the same dir as haret.exe, in this case inside "npkboot" dir.

3.-To move in the CWM menu with our Blackys:

After the "back menu button enabled" you can use power off button to confirm menu selection. Just select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard" and choose my zip (ofc, don't uncompress it).

4.- You don't need to install Gapps, they're included in the build.

5.- After installed, "reboot system now" and start haret again. Let it work for a while without touching anything until you see PIN or unlock screen to begin using Android.

6.- I'd recommend rebooting a second time before starting to configure everything...

It should work in any device where CWM and XDAndroid work, but the configurations I attach here are for TOUCH HD (Blackstone). If you want to try with other devices, be careful to use the appropiate config files (they shouldn't be difficult to find in your device's forum).

I'm using 1337 kernel & modules from Glemsom's autobuild and it works perfectly with my device, feel free to use the one that suits you better.

Download link:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SUBUG5I8

If you have any problem, I'll try to help, but for CWM problems please ask in their forum as you'll find better assistance.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Huh. I guess I'll give it a shot - I cooked a build with CWM & FRX06, was force close city. Tried to fix it, but not hard... Just chalked it up to CWM being crappy since I was able to run FRX06 on dedicated partitions no problem :p.
[Touch HD Android Development] farukb:
if you want to install any other build,or reinstall frx06,go to recovery,choose mounts and storage,then format data,format cache,format system (don't format sdcard for obvious reasons) and then mount data,cache,system,go back and install zip from sd card,choose your zip.

also if you find a build without gapps,go to cyanogenmod.com and grab it there,you should pich gapps for cyanogenmod 6 because that's the froyo build....MDPI or HDPI doesn't matter in our case

many problems are result of gapps missing (some builds come without them,this one doesn't) such as call rejecting or showing black screen instead of lockscreen when you wake the device,so be sure to install them
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Then the only difference you'll notice is that you have CWM recovery :p Anyway, it works pretty well for me, and since I can now write updater-scripts I'll be able to change things very easily :)

Edit: Now I only have to learn to compare directories to be able to give incremental updates when FRX07 and so on come out!
[Touch HD Android Development] farukb:
i suggest you to take a working build and start swapping things and trying,it's not that hard,you can go @ neopeek and ask there,there are several tutorials i believe

just be sure to use a froyo build for your froyo build
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Well, from now I only want to have the /system updated from time to time and identical to XDAndroid if I can.

If I think I can add something of value, I'll make another package to make clear they're different things ;) But for now, I can't add anything (that works)
[Touch HD Android Development] farukb:
you can at least start with

/system

/app (add or remove apps)

/fonts (obvious)

/framework (the "look" of the build is defined here,so if you want your froyo to look like ginger,take some of the ginger files and swap with those in this one)

/media (it'll tell you what to do by itself)

other folders are build regarded and some playing and asking pros is advised here
[Touch HD Android Development] Simon_WM:
any screenshots ?
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
It's a vanilla Froyo, identical to FRX06, so I didn't think they were needed. Just look at any basic original Froyo install.
[Touch HD Android Development] ypsmav:
Hi Eodun,

Can you pls let us know if you are working with the original microSD 8Gb class2?

Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] farukb:
every card is "original" just the manufacturer is different....eg trandescent cards dont work,what's your card?
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Didn't change the sd that came with the device if that's what you mean. It's a Sandisk, can't tell the class :p
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
If it has no C2, C4 etc then it's a "classless" card. I have several, seems any card below 2gig that was sold before a certain time are classless.
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Well, I can't tell because I'm in android now and can't extract it XD Never had the curiosity to check.

Let me see... Yeah, it has a "2" inside sort of a "C", so it must be a C2 8Gb SanDisk MicroSDHC lol
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Working on FRX07 update.zip to test if it works with CWM
[Touch HD Android Development] ypsmav:
Hi Eodun,

Looking forward to the FRX07 CWM!

Do you think that it is required that Neopeak updates the roofts to the latests version?

regarding your FRX06 CWM, I have a quick question. It is possible to use my old data.img from the normal FRX06?

I guess that it may be possible to copy it on the data EXT2 partition but I can't access via windows XP.

Also tried restoring using CWM (I did a backup and replaced the data.img), but I get a checksum error. Any way to change the checksum to be able to do it?

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
helicopter88 is already working on that ;)

I don't think so. But if you backup everything with titanium backup and then restore apps, appdata and system settings (only those that appear in green) you'll have everything as before.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dude, you don't need to work on anything.

Just grab the FRX07 update.zip from XDAndroid and you're golden... stine makes updates for recovery, which should work fine for CWM.
[Touch HD Android Development] ypsmav:
Confirm it updates correctly, but there are some problems with the old Kernel/rootfs.

I can't get wifi to work and I can't turn the device off.

The 20110716 Kernel is not working for Blackstone Topaz.

We need to wait...
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
@arrrghhh: Yeah, I know the update is available, but ypsmav noticed the problem: I need the new rootfs for CWM, and I'm not able to adapt it. As I said, work is being done for that.

Thanks for your replies ;)

Ps It will be a big problem if latest kernel doesn't boot. I haven't been able to boot with it. Edit: But still have to check if it boots with a clean data.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Newest kernel doesn't boot at all...? I know emwe has a TOPA, will have to ask him to test.
[Touch HD Android Development] Pete Rask:
Hey and thx for a great rom (and thx Xdandroid)! Boots ok with kernel from the 18'th. But.... :)

Can't hear anything on incoming calls.

Had a reboot to WM when hanging up an outgoing.

Will try to reinstall and see if it disappears.

Mostly everything else works fine!
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Try turning on and off the speaker to see if it works. It happens to me sometimes.

When CWM 1.9 is out (testing now) I'll upload FRX07 for CWM.
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
Arrrghhh just told me of this post.

I have a working FRX07 with CWM now. Changed the last rootfs.img myself and added CWM parts of it. With newest kernel very stable right now.

Have to adjust more because of the changes in FRX07.
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Great!

I was testing helicopter88 changes to CWM's rootfs to work, we still haven't made wifi work, so I'm sure he'll be glad to work with you in that.

I already have a frx07 pack (it's trivial), but don't know how to modify rootfs. I offer myself for testing.

If you can, join #neopeek in freenode irc to talk to helicopter 88. With a fully working rootfs, CWM 1.9 can be released. When it's done I can update this thread.

Thanks!
[Touch HD Android Development] ThaiDai:
I can give you and them my test build and of course the rootfs.img. But I want to check it tomorrow again and remove some more mistakes or dirty things.

Wifi works now without problems, phone I had problems first and have to check again.

Thanks for your nice reply.

I wrote a pm to neopeek in his forum and asked him directly about my changes.

Good night and see you tomorrow, ThaiDai

Market + Mount DATA partition problems

I've tried the FRX06 version for a couple of days and worked fine.

Only problem was the market, which after downloading some apks, it started to go slower and slower, and after some time stopped working.

Tried force stop the market and clear cache and data, but it didn't help.

Next time I tried booting into Android I got the message error after starting haret: Can't mount Data partition.

Would you think that the problems related?

could be the size of data partition that make it crash? or it is just the microsd failure?

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Did you try clearing /cache from CWM recovery?
[Touch HD Android Development] ypsmav:
The error about mount Data partition appear before CMW starts.

I've checked the partitions using Mini Tool Partition Wizard and there is a problem with the partitions, but I don't know if it is related to the sd card or to the build.

I'll format the microSD and start again.
[Touch HD Android Development] nikitto:
As I said in HTCMania, here you are the rootfs.img with blackstone keyboard support for your compilation.

Remember to add physkeyboard=blac in your startup.txt

Dear friends,

I have searched tens of forums and googled requested for a days,

but I didn't have chance that find any answer :confused:

And it seems that nobody speak so much about that problem here,

people are in race for newer and newer firmwares,

is it possible that nobody can't find the way to solve that problem and succeed to modify wpa_supplicant to work on new Gingerbread 2.3.4?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zokkac:
Huh, god knows, maybe it depends of type of installed ROM.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreccon:
I have the LG Optimus 3D and I wanted to use my old WinMo phone as an ad-hoc server. I searched a lot and finally found the solution:

First of all you need a rooted device.

Go to Market and install "ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher". Run this program everytime you want to connect to ad-hoc.

The device acting as server needs to have its SSID to "AndroidTether" and require no password.

Don't forget to revert back to "infrastructure" mode after ending your session otherwise you won't be able to connect to normal hotspots.

There is no guarantee that this will work on all devices. Just try and see...

Hello

I'm using Windows Mobile on Asus P535. My problem is - default themes are working correctly but every custom theme fails. It kinda works, but all those custom themes have old user interface (WM 5) - menus are tiny, texts are very close to each other and looks bit rubbish. Do you have any guess what's wrong with my phone?

There's nothing wrong with the phone, you just need to use themes made for WM6.5.

[HTC Sensation] lorddart:
Hey guys I'm looking into buying a sensation today and wanted to know what things to look for when checking the phone out. And if there is something wrong how much of a hassle is it to get a replacement?
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
The answer is simple. Don't go looking for anything, just get it and enjoy it. Don't believe all of the issues here as we all exaggerate. Just like any device forum people don't talk about how well there device works, but when one small thing comes up on one device out of millions people tend to freak out. The only reason people are nit-picking this device apart is because we don't have root. Without root the only thing we can do is talk about the weather, and turn specs of tiny dust into a major castrophe. My sister just got this phone last week and she loves it. She didn't say "Hey the screen is AUO and not a Sharp", she didn't say "the wifi signal drops when I bear hug it". Nope, she loves it and said it's the best phone she ever had, and I agree with her.

Don't put it under a microscope and just enjoy it. If your phone is defective you can always exchange it.
[HTC Sensation] lorddart:
Okay thank you for the response. I will try to do that
[HTC Sensation] harveydent:
That's the reason why the OP is posting this thread. He/she wants to avoid the hassle of exchanging the phone after setting up and wants to check the device ASAP so he can exchange it immediately if there's a defect
[HTC Sensation] pinhead:
There are miniscule differences between devices. Don't make too big a deal out of it. Just make sure that you are ok with anything you buy.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Can you think of any defects that are visible to the naked eye right out of the box? Dust maybe? The way I see it, if he opens the box and likes his Sensation, then let him just enjoy it. If his phone is defective he's going to find out one way or another. If he opens the box and pulls out a magnifying glass he'll find dust. If he installs the terminal emulator he's going to obsess about having a certain screen. If he pulls out a thermometer he's going to worry about heat. I'm just advising him to do what I did. There's too many people here panicking about too many little things. Every single one of my phones has had one issue or another.
[HTC Sensation] lorddart:
Yeah once again I'm looking for anything thats actually an issue. Not a non-issue issue. Anything worth returning it from I may be buying it from an individual rather than a company so I just need to know if it is defective what are my options and such? Thanks for the input guys.
