[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SPEEDHAMMER:
Hi,Ive got quite a unique problem here. About two weeks ago,my HD2 spent a good 10mins in the washing machine.Fortunately, everything is working as good as before.Except for the mic and the 'down' volume function. The actual rocker is good,its the hardware that is broken. I cannot find the replacement part for the volume rocker module,nor can i find a mic replacement part.However, I have been living with this problem for a week now,and its not a big deal really.I have been controlling the volume using the settings and ive been using the headset for calls.Now though,i updated my android build, so i had to select the boot source using MAGLDR.And i cannot scroll down!...so im stuck with WP7 as for now.Hence,i just want to ask if anyone knows if there is an alternative way to select the AD SD boot source without using the volume buttons?...otherwise, i have to run a NAND build or use WM again for android,cus they dont require the vol up down functions to boot.sorry if im asking the impossible...jus wanted to ask...u may never know!;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sawyer1103:
Hi! Few days ago i repair htc surround volume button. Only 1 thing can help u. You must open your phone. Next. As u see volume button you must repair contacts with soldering iron. Be patient. But also water maybe damaged resistor bacause of it electric chain.

And one more thing, how do I know it works after I flash the zip?

EDIT: I typed in ls /sys/kernel/debug and hit enter in a terminal, with and without root and nothing outputs

[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
If im understanding the article I just read on 2nd init, its pointless to run this unless you have a rom to install or are building a rom that uses it. This mod doesn't currently do anything for basic users and there is no need to have it currently. This mod is for serious developers only, am I right naven? I mean what's the point of hijacking the init if you have nothing to overwrite the boot process with? This is a very important mod , don't get me wrong and im very thankful for it.
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
Pretty much. That's why I didn't bother posting a long post about it. If you know how to use this, you can do pretty much anything shy of flashing a kernel or recovery.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Awesome work, thank you! Hopefully some devs can put this to use.
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
Hey Naven, have you been able or tried to get a hold of Dragonzkiller to see where he might be at with his work on CM7 or if he is still working on it at all?? Would be nice to know... And thanks again on the hard work to get this working finally!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] eval-:
Cool.... what was the new signature for execve()? Sorry I didn't log in to notice earlier =( You should post source :p

Glad you got it working!!
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
I haven't looked at it in awhile but dragonzkiller has his source on github you could probably Google it and it'll tell you if he's been active at all or you could even get the source. Last i heard i think it was the just the 2nd init that was causing problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Honestly, I think that guy was just a sham, no offense, but I tried to contact him so that I could fork his code and assist in getting Cyanogen, but he never contacted me back, and the code on his github hasn't even been touched for like two months.
[Motorola Droid X2] Epicardium:
So, we have 2nd init, but no one is doing anything with it. Sure wish I knew more about how to move CM7 to our device. I have some free time but no knowledge.

Also, I haven't noticed this 2nd-init being discussed on other forums. Shouldn't you post it in as many places aa possible to gather more interest? Just a thought.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Please don't ever say that no one is doing anything with this. I am. CM7 is what I'm trying to do and with a dedicated version for the x2 (which my current version is a port of the ATRIX), I might be able to do something. The ONLY thing keeping me from continuing with CM7 is the new init script for it. Right now, I'm stuck though until kernel.org is back up and running.
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
I'm wondering, with 2nd init, would it be possible to boot into tenfars recovery without having to plug your phone in? If so, how hard would it be to implement?
[Motorola Droid X2] Epicardium:
Sorry. No offense intended. I think we had all got the impression that you were just blowing smoke or had dropped off the face of the planet because no one had been able to contact you regarding your efforts. Please, please, please continue. CM7 is our only ticket to having MIUI on this bad boy some day, and I am eager for that day to come. In the meantime, if there is any way I can help, hit me up. I know a lot about coding and debugging, but no real experience with Android ROMs, so maybe I can help...maybe not. Just let me know.
[Motorola Droid X2] Macguyver:
so is this different than navenedrob's other hack? is this something I should flash over Eclipse with the init.d hack?
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
No, you don't need this (for what you are thinking, specifically). They are not the same thing.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
Anyone willing to help can help. I never said no one could. Too many people on here want stuff with no dev'ing from themselves. I have been in contact with a few notable devs that I have helped me, and I will thank them. Now that I have the source back, I have started porting over the new 2nd-init into CM7DX2.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Bump, this is actually kinda important..........
[Motorola Droid X2] sytech55:

dragonzkiller, How goes CM7DX2?

As what the title stated. I had S-OFFed by using a XTC Clip last time. Now I want to claim back warranty, so I reflashed the ROM to original Froyo via RUU. The only thing now is the S-OFF thingy. I need to S-ON it back so that I can claim warranty. Any ideas how?

so i bought my gf a g2x for her birthday, but as i was told they are super buggy on the stock rom, i flashed it asap. ive been using GB roms but they all seem to be kinda buggy and i would prefer the LG camera fully working, so im thinking of going back to a froyo rom. my question is: are there any known bugs with the froyo roms? im mainly looking for stability as its not my phone so i wont be able to mess with it constantly to fix bugs. thanks guys:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Try Ultimate G2X 1.0. Its based on stock Froyo. Its super stable, everything works, great theme.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I'd give EaglesBlood a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lowrider262:
thanks for the suggestions guys:) ive been looking at those two and also Sinister froyo, does anyone have any experience with or know of any bugs with that one? it seems to be the most recently updated froyo rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I gave sinister a try, I hated the theme on it, but it was stable. Personal preference I guess.

I recently downgraded from one of the GB leaks to rooted EE4. Everything seemed fine so I set everything up (I had backed up through Titanium Backup, but it still took some time.

True, and very useful, but in quick office, for example, general file management is a bch. Eg, deleting, renaming, moving.. If there was a file browser that integrated with the synergized (?) dropbox account that would be awesome.

And +1 for tapnote. I pretty much use that as my daily note taking driver. Least buggy of all that I've tried.

hello seniors

I am using HTC desire A8181(orange version) here in india.

I bought it second hand and using the GSM service..It is upgraded to android 2.3.3

The problems I am facing are-

1. The microphone volume is too low.That is, the user on the other hand can barely hear my voice.

2.The speaker is although fine,when in full volume,the sound seems like too shrill.

3. In call volume is also not upto the mark.

Until recently, I was happy with my windows mobile.I was using TP2. and used to find its tweaking quite easy.but i think I am noob in android world.

anuways,any help or guidance in this regard will be very helpful.

Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
I just noticed when online that Sprint now offers a protection plan for the View similar to the ones offered on the phones. The cost is $13 a month. According to the message they sent me it doesn't matter when you bought the View as long as you sign up for it this month you are eligible.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Blu3Fr0g:
Yes, although I thought it was $17 a month as I added it when I was on the phone with Retention a few days ago. Although I could be wrong in the pricing as I have gotten wrong answers from retention. I had a rep tell me that the View has a standard MicroUSB port even though it doesn't. I know the port will accept a standard MicroUSB connector and it will work to charge and may even work to access data, HTC Support advised asgainst using anything but the included USB cable.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
You might check and make sure they didn't charge you wrong. Online it says it is $13 a month. At least they are offering something now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tedya:
So what is the consensus? Should we get it?I can't decide whether to get the one through Sprint or one through Sqaretrade. Any thoughts?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zanthexter:
If all you want is device repair/replacement, call in and ask for the $10 a month plan. Instead of Total Equipment Protection it's called, "Assurant Device Insurance".

It isn't available online

. I had to seriously complain about being stuck with the "extra features", and refuse repeated pushes to stick with the $13 plan before they even admitted the cheaper one existed.

The attached file is the official Sprint .PDF with the details of the three programs available. (Zipped due to upload size limit.)

Here's the PR release detailing all the "extra features" $13 a month gets you! Among other things, THREE WHOLE MONTHS OF CREDIT MONITORING! Wow, I just don't know what to say Sprint, I really don't.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Zanthexter:
Squaretrade probably makes more financial sense, but I like knowing that I can pop over to the local (non-corporate) authorized repair center for repair/replacement. It's just easier to express strong feelings in person (well, until they call the cops or make a grab for the gun under the counter....) when you are frustrated by poor service or unreasonable delays...

I'm surprised the deductible is still just $100, given how expensive the Flyer is. A lost/stolen View without Sprint service is just a Flyer in disguise....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Blu3Fr0g:
I will need to call Sprint and get this corrected ASAP as I don't need that extra garbage either.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
I assume there's an app, same as the one available for the phones. Has anyone found a link to download it?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Blu3Fr0g:
Called Sprint this afternoon and got it done. Now, I just wish Sprint would come out with a plan that wouldn't cost me, literally $59 a month more, while taking away 500 of my anytime minutes just to get a new PDA Phone. I have been with Sprint so long and my plan is so old that if I want to upgrade my Touch Pro 2 to something new, I need to change from my current plan which gives me 2000 anytime minutes, unlimited mobile to mobile, unlimited nights and weekends starting at 8PM and unlimited Data for $10 per line. They don't seem to understand that I am so disenchanted with them that I would sooner pay more to their competition then give them another lousy dime.

Hey there Ace users :p

This thread is particularly a debate/discussion thread of:

Samsung Kies

VS

ODIN Multi Downloader

I'll start .

ODIN is more useful than Kies because it is simple to use , takes up less RAM (not like Kies , which is a resource hog) and it gives detailed information as to what is happening . ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
its simple really..

kies=crap

odin=lifesaver
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
I don't even use kies. Want to back up contacts? Use google account. Back up music? Sync to some server or keep a backup by yourself. No need for Kies at all!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
KIES is good for getting latest official firmware for the country your in.

After that ODIN is the best way to flash it!

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Nice win-win explanation . :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarlonKaye:
Do you mean you check with Kies if there's already a firmware update but you don't use Kies to download it, and you use Odin instead? If so, where do you go to download the the same firmware update as the one showed by Kies?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] coluichepensa:
Odin is definetely better than kies
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bayint Naung:
I believe Kies can sync your music/photos?

I didn't use Kies that much though.

Kies and odin are for totally different task. ;) There's no need to compare them. IMO.

I think 2.3 stock gingerbread has this setting-> about -> Update. Not sure it can do OTA update. :D

For me, both of them somehow s**k since they run mainly on windows. :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] evil_penguin:
i never used kies in my life (its lame)never works N too slow :cool:...

odin the best no doubt :D

rating of 5 stars-

0din-*****

kies- 1/2 stars

Samsung should improve it ..:cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
NONE...lol..I dont flash firmwares much :p For the history,Odin,no question ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
I got Kies for the SGA drivers and that was it. It's entirely useless, it wont even recognize my phone!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] scoffyburito:
Didn't kies have a memory problem that could interrupt the flashing process?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jusada:
Kies is a vastly different peice of software. Its not just a flashing tool as odin is. The original kies was best, it was almost a desktop replacement. In principal though, if you use custom roms witch most on here do its a pointless to have it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Odin hands down.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarlonKaye:
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Suppose I'm currently on custom ROM, and I want to go back to stock.

1. I would not be able to use Kies, correct?

2. Is it because Kies is used to upgrade from old firmware to latest firmware only? It cannot install the latest firmware if the device is currently running a custom ROM, correct?

3. Suppose my device is currently running official Android 2.3.4, and I want to upgrade it to 2.3.6. It is already available through Kies, but I can also install it by downloading the EXACT 'one package' file and using Odin to flash it. I would assume using the second approach (Odin) is safer because the upgrading process won't have to rely on constant internet connection. If I use Kies, and the internet connection is suddenly cut off, that would possibly brick my phone. Correct?

4. The 2.3.6 is already available in my country through Kies. Is it exactly the same as the S5830DXKT5 for Singapore/Singtel in this website:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-S5830&r=2

and can I use it even if I don't live in Singapore?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 008bond:
1. If you go back to the "Official" stock ROM, yes you will be able to use Kies.

2. No, Kies does not detect and support Custom ROMs.

3. Kies downloads the firmware first, then it starts flashing it onto your phone, so a stable internet connection is not required. However, the software itself is crappy and a resource hog. But I had managed to upgrade in 2 tries using a "Netbook".
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarlonKaye:
008bond, what about number 4? =)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 008bond:
Yes, it is the same :D, but I don't think you will be able to use it as teh carrier is not supported. Not too sure on this one, wait for others to reply :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
You are wrong :p

They are not the same.The one being provided by Kies is official,it suits your region,like,it gives you bloatware apps that are related to your country :p

Flashing a firmware made for another region will not affect your phone.Theres no problem with that.I use KPH which was made for Europian regions..lol :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] untapasir:
since i use custom roms (flashing almost every custom roms..:D) from the 2nd day i bought my ace.. i try to update my ace in my 1st day using kies, and then its hang and my ace brick. (stuck at download text)

i try again, and it did the same thing, so i try using odin and flash the latest update, then it solved.

my opinion, kies dind't help my ace.. but odin save my ace.. :D ( just for me, i guess)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarlonKaye:
Prawesome....

1. So you're from India and you installed a European version?

2. What "bloatware apps that are related to your country" are you talking about? Can you give an example?

3. Did you use Odin to flash the European version? Because Kies will only give you your country's updated version, correct?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4inm4n:
Hello,

Yesterday I switched the 16 GB micro sd card of my HTC desire to my original 2 GB card that came with the phone in order to copy some data back on my pc.

(I use Leedroid 2.2f (Android 2.2 with a2sd+) as rom but I dont think its rom specific issue). When I finished copying I put the old SD card back and rebooted. The phone now looked like after a factory reset. All icons on my desktop were gone and all google specific / core android dat a (text messages, general settings like wifi passwords etc) were lost. However apps and data that were stored on SD (unlinke these core apps) were still there. When I now check the data consumption of the text-app (sense variant) I still see that it uses 800 kb of space on internal memory while showing no messages at all besides the "welcome" messages after factory reset. I did alot of research on the net but never found anyone having the same problem.

Notice that the old card most likely had a2sd data etc on it too because it was used with my phone before I got the 16 GB card. Maybe the OS mixed something up there? Im really lost on this one...

I do have a nandroid backup but its 4 month old so this should be the last option. Im pretty sure that the data is still there.

Please help, thanks alot for your time :-))
