[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Whats wrong with riding your moped with your headphones on, the wind and engine noise is enough to not allow you to hear toffee, plus most drivers in cars are either texting there buddies in one hand, chatting with there missus with the other and scratching there arse with there other, whilst trying to circumnavigate a round about ridden hell hole in rush hour, then complain that there isn't enough road to swerve all over.

Only thing I would say "ONLY THING I WOULD SAY" shall I shout louder, but I had many of years riding an old moto guzzi which was louder then a loud thing, with my music blasting out megadeath ever day on my commute for three hours a day, has made me a little mutton Geoff to say the very least.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Everything. If you'd seen as many moped/cycle/motorbike users as I have who have had to have their earphones surgically removed from their temporal and parietal bones, you would agree.
[Galaxy S II General] K1ngsk1n:
I'm sorry, I thought this was supposed to be a forum about phones, not Health and Safety. I really don't care what your opinion is about riding with headphones is, I do it and will continue to do so regardless of your opinion on the subject, just like the countless others like me. If you are going to go on about how unsafe it is to ride with headphones in you might as well speculate that all cars should have radios removed too.

Perhaps if we can keep this on subject, instead of having people trolling with their unneeded opinions.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Impressive condescension for a 2-post wonder. And your "fix" has been posted several times here - the "search" button is your acquaintance.

Don't try to patronise me, I'm not trolling, and my opinion is as valid as yours.
[Galaxy S II General] Aerobotix:
im having the same problem with volume. it seems that fix is rather complicated ;) but i will try it..

and so what if its been posted before. your comments on moped/mc/bike is irrelevant

certainly not needing a 'thanks' button. get us a uselessness button. im on vacation in asia, and theres a gazillion of bikes, and samsungs too. thats sheer numbers.

btw dr. dre's 'beats' doesnt put out much volume either, with the price tag on those the sensitivity could/should be better.

there must be some easier way to get volume boost/gain ? my headphones sennheiser mx-060 has a pretty good output sensitivity, only its like 10000km away atm. and dr. dre's beats are a waste of 500 dollars imo. but thats opinion again..
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
Try the app in my sig. Boosts headphone/headset volume considerably (doesn't work with speaker tho). You can also try Voodoo Louder from the Market for a 6dB boost.
[Galaxy S II General] Aerobotix:
back on PC. thanks mistabungle, i will check the sig and that voodoo louder app :) sounds like a +6db will quadruple the volume (+3db = double volume?) just hoping it wont be taken out on potential distortion.

btw, the dr. dre's 'beats' DO have ok quality, as i tried them on an ipod, theres nice volume and all. they're a bit overpriced, but the looks (red color) speak for themselves.

[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
On topic - subjective of course, but I find the beats dreadful.

And I've no distortion at all with Voodo Louder.
[Galaxy S II General] Aerobotix:
oh i forgot i dont use the sennheiser mx-060 (neckband headphones) anymore, they 'were' great but i guess i wore them out, the min jack connector started making problems too. The mx-060 had an awesome output as for volume/sensivity. At present I use philips SHE6000 (small earbuds) and those are great, slightly louder volume and ok quality for a cheap price.

as for those volume apps, is seems they all cost money? im running cyanogenmod 7 rom, and now im thinking there MUST be some roms that have increased volume? there's some talk about 'volume+ and other apps, but theres different 'reviews' on these volume increasing apps, some work some dont..

well, 'voodoo Louder' app that mistahbungle recommends, definitely seem to ask for money at first. hehe, its just very unlikely i'd pay for a thing like that. :o

--

off topic but.. I would like to point out that EVERY danish mobile network provider has an insane price on data when out of europe (and the out of the country prices are pretty unfair as well)

100 crowns per megabyte (thats 20USD per megabyte). Should be forbidden, and it has to end :mad: its been like that for years. so the only real choice is to jump around on different wifis from airports, hotels, cafe's, libraries etc. or consider the SGS a camera or a MP3 player :( that really sucks, I hope other countries doesn't have a totally unfair pricing like that.

If £0.50p bothers you (to support a developer) , then the low volume isn't bothering you enough.

I suggest you do nothing as your happy with how it is.
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
I hope I don't make you cry, but we get 6 Gigabytes of data here for 20 US Dollars. Sorry. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] kingdady:
Voodoo Louder works great. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Aerobotix:
are you a developer of paid apps ;). trhy im happys as is, i mean at the rate the battery drains, i think louder volume would cost some more battery.

okey in the context of data price half a pounds doesnt bother me. what bothers me i dont like to buy potential crappy paid apps. just because they're paid for doesnt mean they're any better than a free app. i tried some partly free volume apps that really sucked or were kinda buggy.

karendar, i dont cry, i carve teeth and stomp my feet :p in here we have 6gb (or was it 10) per month for 100USD. but when you cross the border we get ripped, so its like a grounding ;)

looks like i should be updating firmare soon anyway, then i will try another volume app from bazaar
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Voodoo louder is by fellow xda developer supercurio, if it's sound related - trust this guy.

Unlike free apps, voodoo sound increases volume without distortion or weird sound. (such as just increasing bass whilst actually lowering mid-highs)

I can't force you to try it, but it's 0.50p & there are countless reviews to prove its efficiency.

It offers a 6db increase, & is not comparable to rubbish sound apps such as volume+
[Galaxy S II General] chanrocky:
what do these settings (0_lvl, 1_lvl, 2_lvl, ... ) actually mean ? Thanks~

[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Voodoo louder + dsp manager + playerpro = great sound.

[Galaxy S II General] globalgpj:
Tried voodoo louder, but doesn't work with all kernels...an error comes up that i need to ask the kernel dev to add some lines... so unless a busy dev wants to make a special mod, it won't work... Maybe I will try a diff kenel and see if that will work. However, i get such great batt life with current kernel, i am reluctant to try another kernel....hmmm... will try what the originator of this thread says and try that.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Joel5121:
Does anybody know any good live wallpaper that works on Wildfire? I recently found Shake Them All! works quite well
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
The ones I have found working well without lag:

- Starfield 2D

- Solar Wind

- Android Sparkle LWP

- Pixel Rain - (Currently using ATM)

But, I really wanted a Nexus One style Livewallpaper, but, sadly all lag. (Most prominent when you swipe across homescreen panes) :/

EDIT: I installed this, the performance is great (No lag), but not impressed with the touch functionality (Interaction), 'seems' its glitched. Also, no configuration options at all, but, performance is very smooth.

- Nexus Like LWP
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Alex_GP:
Solar wind is Dope. Really smooth.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Yes, and it's pretty much the same for all of AOI Dev's LWPs, but, somehow, the others seem "glitched", i.e. they start flickering (And its so bright it hurts the eyes) and don't work as intended. But for the few that do, they are extremely smooth. Swiping across the homescreens is almost similar to having a static wallpaper.

They are probably the reason I look for LWPs <100kB in size. :p
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Joel5121:
I've tried Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper & it works really great. A lot of tweaks especially performance. Can set it to 10-15fps with max particles 10. Really smooth :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
I have that, but it lagged when you swiped across homescreens. I had reduced the number of particles but had left the fps option at default.

Guess I will give it another go with a 10-15 fps setting.

Cheers :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Deleted member 3005899:
The Multipicture live wallpaper works great (and it should ^^) only thing i notice is my statusbar pulldown animation starts lagging >.>
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] achyut:
ambient time LWP, a circuit board, typography wall, swamp water, WP clock LWP worked quite well on mah cell :) try dem
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] laughing1509:
You can search in Market with keyword "Dragon Live Wallper". Many Live Wallper about Dragon look great. Special "Sea Dragon" :p
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] storkitj:
Hi all

I just installed Solar wind live wallpaper, but got message that my handset does not support it.. Is it cos my phone isn't rooted? Or something else could be problem? tnx in advance :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
yes, stock ROM's do not support live wallpapers on the wildfire.

I don't use any at all. It makes the app drawer laggy as well, too bad
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Justice™:
Very True.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Lmasta:
Try launcher pro it is alot faster and smoother than stock, no lag with Lwp
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] TheDroidProject:
Thank you, really nice ones ;)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cmas84:
thanks for the info regarding the nexus live wallpaper.. also been looking for this wallpaper that does not lag.. i am using it right now and no problem so far..
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] binyameenakhter:
Do u have to be rooted
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Yes, most certainly, and have a ROM installed which supports it. Stock ROM doesn't.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] somashekhar:
hey i just installed solar wind n its very nice3...:)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] somashekhar:
hey even me to facing yhe same prob....just help me ya...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wolfway:
I use launcher pro paid version, but still I can notice lag. It perhaps doesn't lag that much from transitions of homescreens, but the app drawer is not as smooth as when using a static wallpaper (at least for me)...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] HappyWILDFIRE:
Hello to all... I just want to ask, is there a resized version of Shake Them All LWP, I don't know if anyone else is facing my wildfire's problem, but those tiny androids on my screen are not falling down guided by the direction of the g-sensor, it's most like the wallpaper is in a landscape-rotated mode kind of??? Anyone can confirm this thing, and maybe someone knows if there is a resized version? Thanks a lot, great job to all devs, and to all who is giving support and advices for the magic Android and our (not so) expired Wildfires :-D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] ghostbusted:
There is so many dude .. but only one that i realy like .. the nexus revamped live wallpaper :cool:

I allready have the Nexus rewamped LWP, quite nice if the touch interaction is off :-),but Shake them all LWP is what I like the most...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darks1der:
Hye guys,

Got a question is there any way possible to free up some system allocated ram for using intens apps (or for running ubuntu). I know it was possible on certain devices but havent really seen anything for a sense rom.

I'm currently running the mytouch rom. It's very fast for a sense rom. Unbelieveble fast even. Its just you can notice that sense requires so much more ram than say CM7 without sense.

I want to keep all the sense features, but just free up some ram.

Any ideas are welcome.

Cheers;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
Use a ram cleaner script. It deletes lots of system data to free up more ram on ur phone. Heres the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16244178&postcount=2184
[HTC Sensation] y2jdmbfan:
Guys,

I have found a definite issue regarding trying to debrand and flash the 2.3.4 OTA update to my Bell debranded sensation...Here are my steps and results...

1. Performed Revolutionary on shipping Bell Canada Sensation

2. Changed CID to 11111111 via fastboot.

3. Flashed generic UK 1.35.401.1 software via RUU file.

4. Downloaded 2.3.4 OTA update.

5. Try to install the OTA update.zip from recovery, it errors out with Status 7 error. No matter what CID I use, I always get this error status 7.

6. Change CID to HTC__E11 to try and get the OTA update automatically, Downloads and then gives me a "variant system software" error when it goes to install. I've never heard of or seen this error before.

7. Run Revolutionary again and then flash the update.zip. It appears to successfully flash, but when the phone reboots, all I get is a black screen. the phone makes noises and appears to be functioning somewhat, but screen is black.

8. I am now thinking, great, I just bricked my phone...

9. Reboot into hboot. It still shows Bootloader of 1.17.0011, which is strange because the OTA is supposed to update it to 1.18.0000.

10. I then change the CID to 11111111 and reflash with the 1.35.401.1 RUU and thank god the phone is back to working condition.

It appears that there is either a hardware difference or something really low level that is being changed with this new update and it might not work properly with the different radio from the Bell Canada version with the 850/1900 radio, but I don't understand why flashing to the 1.35.401.1 RUU works fine. If anyone else can shed any light on this or give me any hints, I would appreciate. I thought my experiences might help the devs out there further understand the new OTA and the Sensation software/hardware. My end goal is to have the most up to date stock unbranded software installed on my Sensation. I am using with AT&T if anyone is wondering.

Y2J
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
I would venture to guess you're not aware that you should probably not (at least not now), do an official FOTA/OTA on an unauthorized S-OFF Sensation.

The official HTC 2.3.4 OTA that came out a few days ago, LOCKS your device. It puts it back into an S-ON state.

Unless something has changed, if you have S-OFF via Revolutionary....stay far away from official HTC updates.
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Something has changed...revolutionary now supports the new "locked" bootloader!
[HTC Sensation] y2jdmbfan:
I'm well aware that the the official HTC 2.3.4 OTA locks the device. As long as I have a debranded Sensation running the latest and greatest firmware/software, that is all I am looking for. And now that Revolutionary works on the new HBOOT there shouldn't be much trouble getting back to the original shipping software. I still am curious as to what is causing this "Error Status 7" error code.
[HTC Sensation] totti240282:
So how can I update my sensation with s-off?

A bug in me from being updated.
[HTC Sensation] zgajnar:
That would really interest me too! don't want to be S-ON again to make this update. Another question (maybe off topic): how can i update to new S-OFF version 04pre4? I'm now on 03pre7.
[HTC Sensation] Muhamadabdelaall:
Hi

I have the exact same problem as yours, what can we do to update it?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Same on Swisscom-branded phone

I tried the OTA on my swisscom phone, it reboots and I get an exclamation mark with a blue droid. Waited 10 minutes just in case, but no change.

Removed battery and rebooted. Phone still ok, but not updated obviously.

I'm not sure it will remove S-OFF, but I don't care, HTC provides an official procedure for that and we have what we need.

But I need this update to work on my rooted, S-OFF stock sensation. Will try again anyway...

EDIT: I tried going into recovery and manually flashing the OTAxx.zip file, but it gave me an assert_failed: check_cid!? Though I never changed the phone CID! So why propose me an update on my phone if it's the wrong one??? Not sure I want to change the CID of my phone now.
[Nexus One General] JonJonIL:
Wireless tethering doesn't work on my Nexus One (unrooted, gingerbread). I can connect to the wifi network, but can't actually pull up any websites. Also, my 3g and wifi radios work in general.

Does anyone have experience with this issue?

Thanks,

Jon
[Nexus One General] sarshadd:
Your carrier is probs blocking your traffic
[Nexus One General] JonJonIL:
Can't be - my Magic tethers just fine, same carrier.

Any chance N1 doesn't natively tether with a Mac? The tether help menu writes that it only works with Windows, Linux. Any workarounds with or without rooting?
[Nexus One General] stickerbob:
I have successfully tethered with a mac using my N1. I agree with sarshadd, it's probably your carrier. My carrier gives me a message saying I must purchase a tethering plan when I try to pull up a website. All carriers block it in different ways. Try the wireless tether for root app on the market, that is if your carrier has not blocked it.
[Nexus One General] JonJonIL:
My carrier is not blocking it.

Have you gotten your N1 to tether with your Mac using the native gingerbread tether option in the menu, or do you use one of the 3rd party tether apps? Did you need to install any extra drivers on your Mac?
[Nexus One General] stickerbob:
I personally don't own a Mac, but my friend tethered to my N1 from one without installing anything on it. I will add that this was a long time ago, so my N1 was probably running Froyo instead of GB. It worked flawlessly at that time. Do you know someone with a PC for testing?
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
My MAC tether to my N1 just fine.

Running CM7 rom but just using the native tether, no 3rd party app.

[Nexus One General] desertflyer:
Are your APN settings the same on bother your N1 and Magic? Maybe that's part of the issue... just guessing at this point.

[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
I read a lot of thread about battery calibration so I want to know if someone try this on XT720 and if it's really usefull and not dangerous for the phone.

Thank you
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
It is useful and not dangerous at all. Your battery has, if stock that came with phone, a full charge of 4.2v.

So let's say that you have been conservatively using you phone most of the day and are at 70%. You decide to flash the Hellmonger edition or CM6 but you make a nandroid backup first. You flash them and it goes horribly wrong and your phone power dwindles down to 30% and you freakout and charge it back up.

When it is charging, you decide to hold off on flashing for a bit and want to go back to your "home" ROM, whatever that may be. You let your phone charge up to 100% and re-flash your back up. Once it reboots and settles down, you happen to notice that just 5 mins ago you were at 100%, but now after flashing your backup, your battery shows 70%.

30% drop in 5 mins is rediculous. Yes it is, bit it didn't really drop 30% in 5 mins because when you backed up your original ROM, you also backed up your data/system/batterystats.bin that was calibrated to 70%.

If you use Battery Calibrator and charge it up fully, run app, hit it and then unplug, it deletes the data/system/batterystats.bin and in a few seconds (5 ithink) it creates a new one with you proper charge and voltz.

So if you flash a lot, this is good for you. Or you can delete the batterystats.bin manually if you want, but there's an app for that.
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
So, if I understand, it's not so usefull because after I lose my 30%, if I charge and I have 100% it's really 100% not 70% right ?
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I would say that it is always best to start from a clean slate. It deletes that batstat file and starts anew. Can't hurt, but if you are flashing ROMs every 3rd day like most of us, it does come in handy.

For the moral of the stroy, it will not damage your phone. Just a one click app that you can do manually with Root Explorer if you wanted to.
[Milestone XT720 General] Zachary57:
Ok, thank you, I will use it when I will flash a new ROM.
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
Do you actually have to drain the battery fully after calibration?
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Its recommended that the battery drain fully, and then be recharged without interruption. I guess thats to give android a full scale from full to empty, to help better report battery stats and consumption.

However for me full drain means 10-15%, its hurts the battery to be drained till the phone powers off.
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Haha battery calibration definatly helps the battery a lot but u suggest not draining battery fully??
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
I used to drain it fully till my phone turned off before calibration but I read a very detailed article about how draining the battery completely can hurt it. So I choose to drain it till 5-10% which is good enough :D
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
How come sometimes when the battery is full it shows 4200mah like it should but sometimes it shows less like around 4165mah in the battery calibration app? At 4165, I still left it there to charge to see if it would increase or not but it didn't...
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I know that the last little bit of charge just trickles in and takes a long time. If mine is at somewhere between 4150 and 4200, i call it good and go from there. If it was showing at say 4095 and 100%, then there might be something wrong with either the data or the battery. If you are sitting at 4165, then it is charged for the most part.

The app and what it does is more for when you are flashing a ROM and have around 60% and then once booted up fully, you charge it up to 100%. Decided you don't like your ROM and go back to your original ROM via backup, it will show 60% instead of the 100 or 90% you had before you went back to back up b/c you backed up the batstat bin when you nandroided your original ROM.

How about this:

ROM: Epicsteelblue 70% (and you made a backup) Then went to CM6, charged and hit calibrate battery at 100%. Used CM6 for a few hours and decided it wasn't your bag. Your batter is at 50%. You flash back to your Epicbluesteel ROM and you know for a fact you had 50% before you flashed back, but now once totally booted, you are showing 70%. This is why you use the battery calibrator after you flash a ROM. Gotta create a new batstat bin for you "fresh" ROM (even though it is a backup).

Hope this helps explain better.
