[Thunderbolt General] open1your1eyes0:
Hmm I see. FYI, I also noticed this issue is extremely obvious when opening the phone dialer for the first time and just press like the number 1. You can hear for a split second as if it "boots up" the audio amplifier the dialing sound for the button grows from silent to normal volume. Then as you dial the rest it sounds fine. But cancel out of the phone dialer and back into literally after like as short as 5 seconds press a number on the dialpad again, you hear it making dialing sound quiet to louder and then normal for the rest of the dialing.

Such a bizarre issue, I really don't understand why this problem just occurred in Gingerbread builds if it's been absolutely fine on older Froyo builds. You would think something as obvious as this would be one of the first bugs they try to resolve. And it seems like it wouldn't be that hard also (assuming it's just a setting in the kernel coding or something).

FYI, if it helps anyone willing to look into it I found out the audio amplifier for the Thunderbolt is a TI TPA2051.

I am really hoping some of our higher up guys can take a look at this. I am really curious to know what (if anything) can fix this issue.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
i do know the overall volume on sense roms are much quieter than aosp. what a waste of a good speaker. we for sure need a fix here.
[Thunderbolt General] nelboy:
It might not be as easy as it sounds. Audio can be handled quite differently from OEM to OEM. I'm not sure if the thunderbolt is using the native Android audio or if HTC is using their own implementation. You also have to throw the audio Codec into the mix. Here is a link that although it doesn't explain our specific problem, you can see the complexity and the inherent issues with Android audio http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/1744088af0924ed9/7170773c13aabe2f i'm not sure about now but the general consensus with audio developers used to be that google needed to stop trying to implement fancy bells and whistles in the audio and get a good solid foundation to start with. Gingerbread was supposed to address some of these issues but I don't believe it did.

Anyway, i'm not positive but you may notice the problem more in gingerbread because there were quite a few changes in the native audio implementation.

[Thunderbolt General] BigBot96:
I know this thread is old, but something i've noticed in regards to this. Im running a semi-stock ROM (xda-bolt), with a stock kernel. I noticed the volume changes don't happen on this ROM, however with a modified kernel such as IMOs 6, the problem arises. Any other non-stock kernel i've used has this problem, but stock kernels do not.

I have a android x2 with 2.3.3. I am not able to use gingerbreak in order to root it. It clocks for ever and I end up rebooting after an hour or so. Any ideas how to root? is this issue 2.3.3 specfic I am wondering?

thank you all!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ashclepdia:
U cannot root x2 2.3.3 with Gingerbreak or anything. U must sbf and install p3droids prerooted gb. Go to x2 section on this site for instructions. Do not rush into it. Read all stickies on the subject multiple times before doing this. There are a tin of indepth instructions for it. Be careful and thorough in ur research before attempting please.

Inner call record???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
to clarify, you want to record the audio/conversations on your calls?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
voice recorder should, you just start it before you make the call.

i haven't used it in a while but I know it worked on my evo
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mv1luv:
I remember i had a rom on my captivate that had a button on the screeen while in call you could activate a recorder never used it but i thought it was cool as hell.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
I do not think any of the available kernels support 2way call recording as of yet. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
The first two apps that show up in the market work fine...

Record my call

Total recall

Voice recorder doesnt work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whitebird1:
Still no call record apps?

I just want to check that this is still the case, as far as everyone knows.

Are there no call recording apps that will capture both sides of the conversation while the phone is not on speakerphone (unrooted Infuse)? Nor custom ROMs that offer that capability?

Thanks!

So this new market blows. I have a Droid X on miui 1.8.5 and while trying to download a bunch of apps, I get:

"Your device is not compatible with this item"

For the life of me cant fix it. Put the LCD density back at stock 240 (its at 210 now) cleared market cache, tried jrummys market fixer apk, edited the build.prop manually...nothing. if anybody can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grant Barker:
I assume you were using Android Market 3.1.3?

In case you were using an earlier one I have a link to it too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BenKranged:
Custom dpi (lcd density) seems to cause the "incompatible" problem with the new market.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1196417

Going back to 240 dpi and clearing market data makes everything work as it should.

You can then go back to your custom dpi, but most users are reporting the problem comes back after a while.

:edit: Oh you tried that

I ended up going back to market 2.3.6
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bill12690:
I tried going back.to the old.market but kept getting FCs.. anyway, found a thread that suggested trying 160 for the LCD density.. worked like a champ. Set it back to 210 for now and its still working, until I clear cache anyway. I suppose there's no way to fool the market into thinking the LCD density is different than what it actually is?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bill12690:
You are correct though, I am now on 3.1.3 market. Never did have the old green market on this version of miui though.

can anybody link me a download for the latest official RUU for the Incredible, before the GB updates? the newest I can find in an RUU file is 3.21.605.1 but I have 3.26.605.1 on my phone now (bone stock) so obviously that's not the newest.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CompCrash:
The one thing that bugs me on most of the ROMs out there is the fact that developers insist on pushing their favorites apps. Which makes the ROM larger and in some cases the apps are unable to be uninstalled. I just never got this and I was just wondering why they do this.

Most of these apps are completely useless to the ROM (by that i mean they don't serve any function to the ROM):

XDA

Dolphin Browser

Amazon App Store

WiFi or USB Tether (in the cases they aren't modified)

Any of the Launchers

Handcent

File Explorers

Google+

MyBackUp
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
The spots are easy to uninstall

Use the sdx app remover

And if you don't like their style don't use their roms :P
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skandranon314:
You could also use titanium backup to uninstall them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
Easy answer. They build roms the way they want for their phone, then share with the rest of us.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
We got a winner.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanthinealkaloid:
Useless probably wouldn't be an entirely fair statement for all the items in your list.

Examples:

1. File Explorers...If the ROM developer wisely takes out the relatively elementary stock file browser, they need to replace it with something otherwise you wouldn't be able to get at your files without installing one on your own.

2. Any of the Launchers...Often times, TouchWiz launcher is removed in these custom ROMs...There would certainly be an issue if it wasn't replaced with something...Right?

As for the rest of the items, these folks are trying to build a streamlined, yet useful, ROM which generally would appeal to anyone for daily use based on their own preference/experience.

FWIW...You should/could simply use 7zip or Archive Manager to open, not extract the ROM zip, which will allow you to delete/add/update whatever apps you'd like in the /system/app or /data/app folder prior to flashing the ROM...Seriously, it's that easy.

Wow, the nerver of some people, Ill make a zip that only contains the words ROM and zip just for you o_0
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Most roms of a matching firmware revision are 90% similar fundamentally. After that, dev's aim to share an experience in functionality.

XDA: A quick and easy app to keep track of your favorite rom so you don't have to!

Dolphin Browser: The stock browser is clunky, slow, and a ram hog. Many devs remove it and substitute a more efficient and battery friendly alternative.

Amazon App Store: Provides access to daily free apps, but can't be installed from the Android Market. Who doesn't like free apps?

WiFi or USB Tether (in the cases they aren't modified): I'm not even sure what could be said against this.

Any of the Launchers: The built-in Touchwiz is generally dislike-able. A preference of the dev.

Handcent: Many find this to be nicer and more functional than the stock mms.

File Explorers: You pretty much have to have one of these, and they're almost all more useful than MyFiles.

Google+: Well I can't argue this one, I generally remove most Google Apps to avoid incessant synchronizing.

MyBackUp: People like to restore their apps after an install. Having something like this included in the install expedites the process.

I generally assemble a rom so that these "unnecessary" apps are readily removed. Or as mentioned, you could simply use 7zip to delete anything you like prior to flashing. Or yet again, feel free to not use said roms.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
Here is a suggestion for the OP. Make your own ROM with what you feel is "important and useful" and share it with us but make sure there is nothing that we might deem useless in it. And before anyone mentions NO I am not a developer nor do I really want to be but I support our devs 110%!
[Vibrant General] jordonlm1:
Which one do you prefer and what are the differences between the two?

Rom = Miui.us

Kernel = Neo 17
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Revamped nuff said
[Vibrant General] KnowledgeBroker:
I just found the miui launcher the other day and after trying it realized there is VERY little I could remember about the rom that was different besides the launcher itself(which the independent app really did a good job of) and the status bar pulldown options. It had a few differences in settings like cm7 does.. but outside those little differences miui seems more launcher than rom.

I never gave revamped much of a try because I didn't like miui(for above reasons) and didn't see much difference..
[Vibrant General] JettyLife:
Revamped has tweaks and things the devs do to make their version of miui the best it can be. Flash miui.us first and after a week flash revamped. See if you notice a difference in the level of awesomeness.

Vibrant+MIUI
[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:
I would also like to hear some user feedback of MIUI Revamped.

I came from CM7 and gave MIUI.US a shot, and haven't gone back since. I love the smoothness and the interface of the ROM. With Neo 17 my battery life is ridiculously good... and GPS works great with the CM7 GPS fix posted in the development section. I just don't know if I could want any more out of this phone currently. Its fast, battery efficient, everything works as it should...

I want to try revamped, and I surely will... but I am interested in some user feedback.
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Im running miui revamped and i must say ill never go back to 2.2 or gb.....its extremely fast,has added tweaks for modems and kernels,it is100%customizeable from status bar to dialer,message,dock,lock bar to lock screen,everything is customizeable.

Main diff. between the 2 is revamped comes packed with a powered well built kernel,script tweaks,and some apps that you may or may not find useful.

I did find that for me the kb5 modem works better for me than the ka7 modem it comes with.
[Vibrant General] pr0t0typ3:
Never tried stock miui before.now running on miui revamped ss + Bali 1.2.1 kernel. so far so smooth :P .battery life is good so far.

Go for miui revamped ss.... this rom made me stick with cm7 based gingerbread.
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Here is some examples of revamped le + a few extras

And here as you can see I've pushed over clocking to 1.5 and still stable
[Vibrant General] mikka06:

Honeycomb by Anex1 its in themes and apps here in xda,it is truely a beautiful theme

[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Im using 2 launchers...Adw EX is the main launcher and Circle launcher is the secondary launcher.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] BavarianBuilt:
Hey all. New member here hoping to spend a lot of time with this group. I finally decided on getting a tablet and have been going back and forth between a few choices. My number one choice at this point is the Eee Pad Transformer. The price and specs are right where I want to be. Is anyone using this device as strictly a tablet? Most reviews I read seem to rave about the keyboard dock. I'm not interested in using it as a laptop, just a tablet. I notice too that this device's hardware is setup to use it primarily horizontal, where as other tablets are set up vertical. Any insight into the tablet aspect of this device would be great.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverZero:
I don't have the dock, and frankly I think it's a waste of money. You can get a BT keyboard if you really need one, and I don't see the need for more battery life. Asus should have the smaller USB adapters out soon, which is more practical I think, but even there I don't know that it's necessary for many users.

Just my opinion. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jaycup:
I hope it happens soon i realy needing a usb port now eheh :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gladi8r:
I think it's nice they offer it, but I didn't want a netbook.

Strictly a tablet for me. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
I had to send my keyboard dock in for a RMA, otherwise I'd probably be using it with the dock right now. That said, it works great as just a tablet, although at this time it's difficult to obtain the official Asus desktop dock, so you'll have to rely on a third party case if you want to stand it upright while using it.

Whether or not you choose to use it mostly as a tablet or as a netbook is up to you. Personally I try to keep it on the dock for the majority of my applications, only switching to tablet mode if I need to read or browse the internet while sitting on a couch. The only real downside to using the Transformer in tablet mode is that you'll need an adapter for connecting USB devices, but the same can be said for many of the other popular Android tablets of today. The keyboard dock is by no means necessary for full functionality of the device, rather it is more of a supplemental peripheral for those of us who still need a hardware keyboard and USB ports in order to get our work done.

As far as the primary orientation of the device, landscape orientation is preferred for many Android tablets because they have a wider screen aspect ratio than the iPad, but that doesn't mean that the devices don't function well in portrait mode. In fact, the cameras and UI work just fine on any orientation, with only a few apps lacking portrait mode support. Other than that, the headphone port might be a little awkward to access while in portrait mode, so you can either rotate it the other way with the power button on the bottom, or do what I did and use a right angle headphone plug to make things easier.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stcardinal:
I use it as a tablet. I may get the keyboard eventually but I don't need it now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] grenademasta:
I called today to get an RMA number for my defective dock because of the Battery Drain of Death. From 100% to 0% in 3 days with the tablet turned off is ridiculous. Paying for shipping out of my pocket to send to their Texas plant is also ridiculous.

People who need to buy a keyboard doc go buy it locally so you can return it if you get the Battery Drain of Death. I bought it from Newegg and waited a few months thinking a firmware update would fix the issue. Sure you see that silly useless "MobileDock Battery saving mode" box checked but still doesn't work. Its not a firmware issue its a hardware "chip" needing replacement issue. Wont work right until you RMA it wasting your time and money in the process.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] botzl:
I haven't even bought the dock.

I got my TF 3 months ago,now i use it for mainly two things:web browsing,and watching videos.Indoors,BTW.

I don't see the need for a dock...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Yeah, it's annoying if you bought a dock that has that issue, but Asus isn't under pressure to issue a recall unless it's a matter of safety, which it isn't. Additionally, new docks no longer have that issue, so it makes no difference whether you buy locally or online because you won't likely have to deal with a RMA. I remember when I first bought mine there wasn't even the option to buy from a local retailer, as Best Buy and others simply didn't have any stock, and the employees had no idea that the Transformer even existed.

I paid about $20 to ship the device back to Asus, so it's a minor annoyance for me. I can't speak directly for Asus, but I'll bet the low price point of the tablet is the reason why you have to pay for return shipping in case you need to RMA. On the other hand, if you look at another popular device maker like Apple, the price point is significantly higher, but they have a storefront that you can return the device to, and you typically get it back within a day or two for minor issues.

Basically you get what you paid for.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lude219:
I didn't really feel the need for a KB dock (because like most, I have a few laptops laying around and I want to use the transformer strictly as a tablet) but i happened to stroll through Fry's Electronics and picked one up on a whim. Needless to say, I'm using the dock 90% of the time. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jazd71:
no keyboard here, wanted just the tablet, love my tf101, tried others and found this best all rounder
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Drybonz:
I don't own the keyboard. I would probably use it sometimes if I had one, but I'm pretty happy with just the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
II think I use both pretty evenly. I watch a crapload of stuff with it as a tablet, but when I have to type actual documents, or do some work, or chat online (not video) then I attach the dock. I also watch stuff with the dock attached so I don't have to charge it next to an outlt. However, the keyboard lag in the browsers is more noticeable with the keyboard since I type a lot faster. Hmm, I would wait on the keyboard if you have other things to use.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krs01:
I use my transformer for web browsing, watching movies and email mostly. Next year when I replace the Transformer I may buy a dock if Asus offer it for the next model of tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
I dont have the dock either, I'm going to get it eventually because I can see its uses.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dorkington:
I use it as both, depending on where I am, how I'm situated, what I'm doing, etc... which is exactly why I got it, it can do either one quite well, imo. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aSIMULAtor:
I wanted a device to replace my 13" macbook pro which i just use at home on the couch for surfing the web, ssh, playing music, simple image editing and viewing...originally got the mac for traveling abroad, so I can use it to upload pics/videos whenever I found a wifi hotspot.

Whole family (including my parents who are around their 70s and their learning curve to user interfaces isn't so "hot") made the move to just using Toshiba Thrives at home. Made me a tiny bit curious on how they'd catch on, what the user experience would be and it seems to be a hit...parents are video chatting more, surfing more news websites and reading ebooks.

So, I decided to get the TF101 since it's the only tablet out there which suits my needs (has the dock/mini hdmi/micro sd/sd/more usb slots), EXCEPT for the fact that it doesn't have 3G. Thought, what the heck, I'll buy it, check out honeycomb and see if i like it, then sell it off or give it to another family member when the 3g version comes out eventually (travel a lot, buy prepaid sim cards...cheaper to use prepaid internet since tethering might be chargeable later with providers).

Well, minus the fact that ad hoc didn't work to begin with and i had to root it and now having problems, it's a somewhat nice device and I'm 75% happy with it. I use only the tablet when I'm in a comfortable websurfing frame of mind and generally use the dock when I'm IRCing or writing documents.

To be honest, I hate the onscreen keyboard on this device, partly cause there's no "haptic" feedback (i.e. vibration, sounds). Tend to see more errors in my typing, so I don't bother.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evening2005:
I have both tab and dock

And how I use them depends on what I am trying to do. The other day I used the two together to type a long email reply. A few weeks ago I went on holiday for a week and I just took the tablet, leaving the dock at home. If I'm getting the train to work I tend to take the tablet only. If I'm driving, I take both. At the moment I'm reading a book on Kindle and I'm just using it as a tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Friko:
Just tablet for me.

Will probably never buy the dock as I find it pointless since I already have a netbook.
