[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
After searching the threads on the forum a lot refer to this post here on how to flash a new radio. However, I'm sure I read somewhere that this method might now be outdated and a new radio can be simply flashed direct from the SD Card on the phone. Is this correct? If so, is it flashed in the same way as a new ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Balu:
Yes you can just install the zip like a rom. Please don't touch,move,... the device while the rom is installed. Let it on the table,... until it's rebootet. Otherwise it could be that something works not like it should be.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
you can flash a new radio from the SC card just like a ROM but ONLY if you have an HBOOT with a /cache of more than 30MB. If it's smaller than that, attempting it this way will brick your phone. If you've never modified your HBOOT, which I'm guessing you haven't, then you will be fine flashing from the SD card.

If your HBOOT had been changed and the /cache is too small, like on the Oxygen or CM7 ones, then you must do it through fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
How do I check my HBOOT Cache?

EDIT: My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
If you've s-off'd your Desire using the alpharav.nl software and then flashed a new partition table, that's how you alter the /cache size. It doesn't sound like you've done that yet so you're stock /cache will be fine to flash from the SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botaniQ:
If you've s-off'd your can use AndroidFlasher to flash new radio at any time.

10 seconds and you have new radio!

You won't brick your phone, it just won't install. I had the CM7 HBOOT and tried flashign radio through recovery and it was just a failed installation (so i S-OFF'd).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Ok, so now I've S-Off'd my Desire the process appears to have changed the HBoot version to a much later number than before. It now shows HBOOT 6.93.1002 where before it was 0.75.0000. Will this have changed my cache? I'm worried now about flashing the new radio in case the cache size has changed. Where can I check the cache size?

EDIT: No need for me to check the cache size because I successfully flashed the latest radio now. I used AndroidFlasher, which was very simple to use. Thanks for all the advice
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
If I want to revert back to my previous radio (basically if I see no difference or worse performance with the latest radio) is the process as simple as just reflashing or is there something else I would have to do to "downgrade" the radio?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Should be the same as upgrading to new one. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
it will be the same as upgrading it.. after all all you're doing is flashing some software on the phone, but there would be no point in going back to the older version once you've upgraded...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
How are you trying to flash it? Are you using fastboot?

I'd use fastboot commander, always works for me (requires Java JDK)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minda67:
Yes I did.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
Did you check the md5 checksum before flashing? If the md5 matches then use the method bortak mentions above or I used Android Flasher. Try it again but ensure you follow the instructions given earlier to the letter.

Working!!!

I forgot to chech the md5, sorry, BUT now I tried to use Android Flasher, and it worked! Now my radio got changed :D

I have flashed a new rom and a new radio, do I have to flash again the new radio when install another version of the rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backfromthestorm:
radios are not included in roms (unless its an RUU). So whenever you flash a rom, you will keep the same radio. Same go`s for nandroids, nandroids dont back up radios.

Ok. Thank you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] asadjewonxmas:
I know the phone has a fm tuner in it. is there any way to transmit from the phone to say the radio in my car without having to use an adapter. I was asked at work today by a coworker if there is anyway to stream. I use tune in radio or pandora to listen to most of the music i like but i have not ever thought about trying to get the phone to output it to my car. This would be really cool if possible. Does anyone know if there is a way either harware or software to make it work?

Thanks,

Joe
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
As you note, it's an FM tuner, not a transmitter. I use the Bluetooth ADP profile to output audio to my car. If you don't have bluetooth builtin to your car stereo, but do have a line-in jack, you can use something like this to pick up the audio signal from your phone and transmit it to your car. I have one, and it sounds great!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] asadjewonxmas:
thats what i thought but it never hurts to ask.

Thanks,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
why not just use an AUX cable? seems to be the same concept and with out less static... those transmitters transfer alot of static too.

Im sure if your car has bluetooth A2DP streaming is available. i have it, but i just use the AUX less batter drain
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
The Bluetooth receiver I previously posted has always been static free.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
but with an aux cable you get less battery drain and you use the hifi wolfson headphone amp/ultra low power audio codec (assuming you use the headphone jack and not the car dock which uses usb audio converted by a probably lesser codec/amp than the one the phone is equipped with)

also since when do we have an fm tuner? i dont see an fm radio app?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] drowningchild:
fm tuner is in the chipset

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4330
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
hmmm, that is the wifi chip. ok there might be potential as the chip works as a transmitter for wifi frequencies. but it may only work as a reciever on fm frequencies. it may be more plauible to use this as fm radio than the phones that have fm support in the gps chip though.

edit:

looked at the link and it describes is as a transciever, this might be posible, not sure if it is plausible. id imagine it would need a great kernel dev. without full documentation it is hard to tell if there needs to be supporting hardware like an external signal amplifier, i also doubt we have an fm antenna but it might not be too hard to add. but it does seem that we have atleast part of the equation here and the concept of an integrated fm transmitter for your car radio would be really cool.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] drowningchild:
its a multi chip wifi/BT/fm

the galaxy s2 has the same chip

[Wildfire General] Stefan_FFH:
Hey,

I see a lot of people using CM7 is this really the best one?

Also till how many mhz I can overclock on that one?
[Wildfire General] dragdusan:
Yes Cm7 IS really great, in fact you can customize almost everything, and I really like that feature...

As for overclocking you can overclock I think to max of 768mhz(if I'm wrong somebody please correct me)...maybe you can a little bit more but I think it is kernel related...

Hope it helps,

Best regards
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Irrespective of which ROM you choose, it is the kernel which allows (or disallows) you from Overclocking. Till date, there are 2 primary kernels which are available - HCDR.Kernel by Jacob and nFinity by arco, and both OC support upto 768MHz. (I think Deep-Knight has recently developed a new kernel for his ROM, which allows OC upto 600MHz)

Because of this, you can overclock your stock ROM also, if you so wish, by simply flashing a custom kernel.
[Wildfire General] zigee:
Hi!

Which kernels can I use for original rom, if I want to overclock? HCDR, or Deep, or what? It will make the phone instable, or not?

Thank You!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
You can use any. nFinity MC4 offers more features though, like Smartass Governor. It can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995301

Else, you can use HCDR Kernel also, if you wish, and decide for yourself which suits you:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798471

It shouldn't make the phone unstable at all. But, in any case, make a Nandroid Backup beforehand.
[Wildfire General] zigee:
Thank You ;)
[Wildfire General] music.soul:
Well M using hell fire .. Cm7 based ....

Which is stable till 729 Mhz overclock m using max 729 and min 490 (I guess)

Phone is Much faster than before and love playing angry birds
[Wildfire General] zigee:
I read all the 2 posts, but Im not sure to change the original slow kernel, for a faster. All have some bugs, battery life, wifi, etc...

I dont know, which could be better for the stock rom, or which could be better than the original.

Anyway, I want to try one of that, but I dont know which.

How can I flash just the kernel? And also back up my programs with titanium, or mybackup?

It clears everything like the rom flashing?
[Wildfire General] zigee:
Ok, I made it, its cool, and faster. Thanks for the help.
[Wildfire General] Adria1234:

[General Questions and Answers] kshperkins:
Hello,

Yesterday, I decided that I would learn to write for Android. There are a few games that I've always loved and want to be able to play on my phone. But alas, no one has made them for android. So, I would like to make them myself. I've already planned the design and layout and such. The only problem is that I've never written a single line of code other than a little BASIC as a kid, and those were just stupid little text-based programs to amuse my friends.

My question is, where do I start? I learn best by doing, so if there are some tutorials that are broken down--and I mean broken down--I think they'd be a great place to start. Everything I've read so far seems like a ball of confusion.

I've done a bit of web design for friends, but I've always just cheated and used Adobe Dreamweaver which writes the code for you. Are there any Dreamweaver type programs for Android?

I really would appreciate any help you guys can give me. I'm new to all of this and I'm a bit intimidated. But I know that this will be an awesome skill to learn, so I'm committed to it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZealotOnAStick:
I recently got a used Incredible. Everything seemed good on it, except the optical trackpad wasn't working. It'd work for button presses, but not navigation. After acquiring a screwdriver set ($6.15 total at Lowe's) that had T6, and watching a couple of videos on the Incredible teardown, I opened it up, re-seated the ribbon cable for the optical trackpad (it was slightly askew on one side), and it works perfectly now.

Well, close to perfectly. The notification LED doesn't seem to do anything at all. Never, not when charging, not when I have notifications, period.

I've not been able to find anything online specifically dealing with the notification LED. Is this something that might also just have a loose or improperly replaced cable, and I could conceivably fix easily? Or is it soldered to the mainboard, and if it's dead, it's dead?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
LED notification also depends on the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
Theres an application called "Light Flow" that lets you play with the LED settings and also as stated above there could be a software issue.

Also by some random chance the previous owner may have blacked it out. I've been annoyed with some leds before so I've cracked things open and sharpied them to death.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
/offtopic a bit

LED notification is pretty useless anyway. It has never once let me know anything that I didn't know before. 1button to power screen on to see exactly if you have a missed call/text/low battery/if your phone is charging/ etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZealotOnAStick:
I don't miss it too much, I just would prefer for my phone to be -fully- functional.

When I had my Eris previously to this, I did find it handy to be able to glance at the phone from across the room and see if it was blinking. That's really my only "useful" loss.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZealotOnAStick:
Well, it's not doing anything on Any ROM. Stock, any Sense based ones, AOSP ones, nor even when charging.

Affter the update to 3.2 on the Wifi model, some people have reported issues with Bluetooth tethering and some have not. It seems that both people are right. It works once, but then after you disconnect, then it will not work again until you restart your Xoom.

There might be other ways around restarting, but so far that has worked every time that I have tried it. Which is annoying since it does take a while to restart. I just go ahead and restart when I have time, and then it is ready to go when I need to enable the connection.

Hopefully this is a minor issue that Google will resolve in 3.2.1

[Xoom General] McDV:
OK, since nothing is happening anymore here, I'll get that thread up again. ;)

This issue really sucks, so I tried different things to get it fixed...

What I know: It seems to be a dhcp-problem. If you are rooted and type "netcfg" in a terminal, you'll see that the interface "bnep0" (that's the one for bluetooth-tethering) will only get an IP-address and a subnet-mask on the first connect.

After reconnecting the IP keeps stuck at 0.0.0.0/0. Anyway, it seems that it gets an IPV6-address!?

By typing "su dhcpcd" you sometimes can get a valid IP for bnep0 and a working tethering, but that's not sure... Sometimes you'll get an IP, but the subnet is stuck at 0.

At first I thought it was a bug with the dhcp-deamon, so I pulled /system/bin/dhcpcd out of a 3.1 ROM and pushed it to my 3.2 ROM. Unfortunately there was no difference...

My new ideas are:

1) Maybe it could be possible to define a static configuration for bnep0. My problem is that I don't find the proper config-files. Surely someone can tell me. This way we could maybe work around a dhcp-issue (if it is).

2) Maybe it could(!) also be something with IPV6... It could help to deactivate IPV6, but here it's the same, I don't know how.

Maybe you guys have more ideas! This issue really, really sucks and I am sure we can at least find a workaround! Rebooting can't be the solution. ;)
