[Acer Iconia A500] zetheroo:
I recently installed Tape-aTalk and it records very clearly with the device about half an arms length away from my mouth ... again this points to there being a software issue with some apps ....
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
I have a cheap headset mic from Target. Comes with adapters for standard jack, mini and PC. Works fine. It has a little background noise but everything comes through. I haven't tested with GV or Skype since nobody to call, but I have left messages on my cell and work voice mail, calling them with GrooveIP.

It would be nice if this worked like a true speaker phone, but I got the 32GB for 349 at Costco. I still feel like I have a GREAT tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] zetheroo:
Could you install Skype and perform a test call then ... it will play back the recording of your voice (10seconds).
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
PSP Headset...

I use these.

Of course the remote thingy doesn't work with our tablets, but the microphone works great. BONUS: They sound pretty darn sweet and won't fall off of your ears.
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
I'll do it Thursday and report back
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
Nice

Tested Skype in particular with and without headset mic. Without was actually very good. I was about 14 inches away and spoke in a very normal voice, both tone and volume.

The playback was very clear. I mean, it sounded like a speaker phone, but it was not garbled or quiet or anything.

I used the cheap headset mic. It's the kind where the mic just hangs down on the earphone cable. Hanging not as goood as holding it near my mouth. It too came though clearly although it sounds like I have a cheapp mic, which I do. But it did NOT sound like a speaker phone.

My wife has a boom mic headset which may provide better results. This coould all be easily resolved if Acer just hadbluetooth headset pairing. For the life of me I have no idea why they don't.

Could the DEVs figure out how too get bluetooth mic's working on the A500?

Same test with grooveip yielded inferior voice quality. Seems software based to me.
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
I use my blackberry earbuds that I've had forever for the mic, they work excellent and look good too.
[Acer Iconia A500] TucanoRC:
I second that motion for a DEV to look into developing a new bluetooth stack for the A500. I love this tablet and would hate to get rid of it because of the mic. I played with the wife's Asus Transformer tonight and I am starting to like it a little more just because the mic works.
[Acer Iconia A500] hitandrun972:
it seems fine with hc 3.2 stock

Before the hc 3.2 stock with superuser rom I cannot use Skype at all, cause mic was so low. Now its working okay because I tested with my PC plus the Skype test call and my voice is clearly heard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrism_scotland:
I've had and sold a Xoom within the last couple of weeks, OS is lovely and the tablet itself is reall nice but having got into the Kindle and Zinio Apps I found the Xoom just too darned heavy to hold as a "book".

Anyway I know the EEE Pad is lighter having played with them in store and the screen is lovely, I guess my only worry is the 16GB Memory built in v 32GB on the Xoom.

If I buy the Keyboard Dock which I likely will does that mean I can have say 32GB memory in the Micro SD Card slow on the EEE Pad and another card in the slot on the keyboard?

Also whats the story with USB Flash Drives / Portable hard drives, will these work via the USB slot on the Keyboard?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
Yes to everything.

Also there's a 32 gb version on the eee pad as well
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrism_scotland:
Cheers mate, I saw the 32gb version, but can't seem to find it bundled with the keyboard in the UK

Been reading around the forums and read some posts on the B70 models, does the bootloader lock mean I can't root?

What would it prevent me from doing? Because I guess if I walk into a shop and buy one its going to be a B70
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaperzero:
B70's are more like a gamble. some are using the old bootloader hence rootable. getting the B80's means its definately using the new bootloader so if you want to be able to use apps that require root its best to stay away

also being able to root means you can block ads. ush SSH tunnel install custom rom etc
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrism_scotland:
I've had a Desire and Xoom before and used Titanium Backup specially when rooted.. is there anyway to know if a B70 is rootable from the serial number? Or would I need to buy and then try it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
There is a thread somewhere that posts where the sbk was changed by serial number. Sorry its buried in a dozen other threads about the same subject but I read it recently. If you find that post you could then look at the serial number and know if it had the new or old sbk before you bought it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jemarti:
My understanding is that B7O's with serial a serial number of B7OKAS17XXX and lower are rootable. serial numbers of B7OKAS18XXX and higher are not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
I just got done searching that info out. Thanks for beating me to it :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrism_scotland:
Thanks guys, seems the units in the shop here are either with dock and unrootable or tablet only but rootable, would probably just buy one without the dock if it wasn't so expensive to add it later... Hmm

Am thinking of trying out a PS emulator so am wondering if you guys can recommend one that runs fine on our phones...also how much battery does it consume compared to regular gaming on the phone.

Thanks in advance for any help...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
FPSe is the best one hands down.It runs almost everything and runs it at full speed.Problem with EVERY emulator though is that they suck the battery dry in no time.Even worse than normal gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I have been playing the Death Worm game for a few days now and I must say I like it. It looks and works great on our phone. I highly suggest you check it out.

When I first downloaded and played it it would kick me back to my home screen in a minute or so. I fixed permissions in CWM and rebooted an haven't had any problems since.

I play it for long periods of time OC'd at 1.3 Ghz with no issues. My phone doesn't even get hot.

I hope you all like it...Great time killer while commuting.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joky79:
I need to recalibrate my proximity sensor because when I mak a call the screen goes off and does not turn on again (most of the times) so I cannot end my call.

The priximity sensor reading show "0.0 in", but sometimes changes to "0.4 in".

I guess it could be also problem with some dust on the sensor but I cannot clean it.

So does anyone knows a way to recalibrate the sensor or to fix the problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joky79:
Any idea will be welcome!

PLEASE!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ymmit:
I had this issue with my Desire for around a week. I thought it was a problem with the LeeDrOiD ROM I flashed.

I'm interested in the answer to this and will keep an eye out for any info.

Where can you find the proximity sensor range?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ymmit:
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/97/t/5694.aspx

Have a read of the post by andyc120. I noticed the HTC screen protectors had a rectangle cut into the top left. I had another screen protector on a few weeks ago. To be honest I can't remember if this was the same time I had the sensor issues but it is likely.

Still open to other answers. I found an app for the sensor range.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginodp:
I like to know the answer to. I have the same problem. And I dont have a screen protector.

(I dropped my phone once and changed the display glass so it could be it's broken)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Edit: just saw your signature as I was on the phone... you need to ask in desire s forum

I saw a tool for recalibration for Desire HD, Desire HD is closer to Desire S than Desire (maybe is working)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginodp:
I tried the recalibration for Desire HD tool but it didn't worked.

I think its broken.

So I did this. I disabled the proximity sensor incall.

Guy above (and the one above him too) is right there are at least 20 billion other threads about this already.

Basic facts are that Nvidia demoed windows 8 running on a tegra 2 tablet on 1ghz and one gig of ram so it is possible main problem is the legality of porting a non opensource system and rewriting bootloaders

You need to reinstall a different kernel through fastboot usb. If miui works then a sense rom won't until you flash compatible kernel.

Similar problem being stuck in boot screen

I am on twrp shooter 2.0 with hboot 1.5 and I was running syncombelite when I tried to in stall the CM9 Alpha build and I was not having luck with loading the rom through recovery so I tried to use Flash image GUI. It loaded the image but after it was done it would not boot. I was stuck on the HTC boot screen. I tried to do a nandroid recovery and the same thing over and over. I figured maybe try a different rom so I tried a couple.. I used one and it actually made it past the boot screen and loaded the Beats audio logo then was stuck there for maybe 30 minutes before I tried a reboot and the same thing. Then I though I wll do a superwipe so I downloaded the synergy superwipe along with the

fresh-evo-3d-4.2.0 then it made it past the HTC boot and just went black for another 30 minutes. Now I am at a loss. Please help me...

Dale if your reading this I am the guy you helped a while back with the Toshiba thrive..maybe a month ago then I made a generous donation. I am happy to pay someone for their time. Please help..I need my phone. Thanks all.

How did you get CM9 to work...what recovery are you using and so on..?
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
i use boot manager pro first off b/c i am a flashaholic... but if i recall correctly i had to use the boot.img from cm7 and migrate it over to the cm 9 set up and let it install from there...

im on hboot 1.5 with clockwork mod recovery... ver 4.0.1.4 any other ?'s just ask
[HTC EVO 3D] StevetotheH:
The recovery you use shouldn't matter. I have used CWM touch and non and TWRP all the same as long as it works for you. The easy way to flash CM9 is to use FlashImageGUI.apk before you wipe your current rom. Do not wipe ROM before using FlashGUI as it needs a OS to run on.

First flash recovery, whichever you want. If you don't already have one.

Put CM9 on sd

Flash boot.img from CM9.zip with Flash...GUI.apk (browse to CW9 on sd card)

Boot recovery, Flash rom from there.

(Flash..GUI should ask if you want to boot recovery after flash)

I used TWRP to flash CM9 tonight so I know it works 100%
[HTC EVO 3D] lonewolf5557:
I have tried that and I get stuck at HTC boot screen. I'm at a loss. I finally got virus eternity to flash using fastboot on my pc.

[Vibrant General] Rat48:
I have a 3G samsung vibrant, I had many different ROM's and used it before I rooted it and there were always some kind of problems in every situation. For example, The phone dropped calls in an area where all my other phones did not. 2) Had problems with finding signal in places that all my phones worked good.

My question is: Is this the phones fault (the device itself)? Or is it the operating system (Android)?

Will getting another android phone solve my problems, or should I pull out one of the old brick Nokia phones? Those phones were the best, you could throw them at a wall and they would still work like a charm :D

[Off-topic] shanghei:
Hello all, I have been seeking a cheap used car to use day to day that'll save me some gas. What I found was primarily nothing but garbage and scammers.

One case that stands out is the one I experienced just yesterday, I found a car advertised on craiglist for $2900.00, it was a 1997 Honda Accord with advertised miles of 106k miles. I went to take a look at it and asked if there was any problems with it the owner told me the speedometer was broken and all it needed was a speed sensor. I do not know much about cars so that didnt mean much to me. I took the vin number down, told him I would call him back after I look up a car report on the car.

The car report said in 2008 the DMV reading shows it had over 132k miles on the odometer, I was glad I checked the report. I called again and asked again what the miles were and he said 106k and I said the report said in 2008 it had 132k and he says yes it has 132k. I questioned him which one was it 106k, which he just told me or 132k and he said 132k and I said why did you just say 106k and he hung up.

So I posted a craiglist ad, not accusing anyone of anything but it simply said, the car fax report said in 2008 it had 132k miles and odometer reads 106k so it might have been set back.

Well thats where the fun begins, the guy didnt take too kindly to that.

Voicemail #1 voicemail_2011_09_23-1.mp3 - 0.14MB

I guess he wasnt through yet, an hour later he calls back with a less friendly message

Voicemail #2

voicemail_2011_09_23-2.mp3 - 0.07MB

I decided to take down my post warning other of the mileage.

I had a friend call again for me after all that and ask how many miles it had and they still claim 106k.

I feel bad for anyone who gets suckered by these people.

The way I have been doing it for free is that ebay motors lets you list a car for free, and if you input the vin number it also shows you the car report. So I list for auction, get the car report, then cancel the auction.

Well some interesting news, it looks like he sold the 97 Accord since its no longer on craigslist.

but.... it looks like he listed a different car using a different phone number and a different location. I will confirm tomorrow but it looks like this guy does this many times.

Well the plot thickens, I noticed the same typo in the new post as the last post and did a search based on that typo alone and it led me to some other posts of his which had a different phone number then I googled that phone number and saw him posting ads looking for a part time auto body painter. So this guy is a professional shister.

In every ad he has a different number, he has so many different phone numbers. If he got pissed on the first car of his I spotted and I didnt even know thats what he does for a living, he is really going to hate me.

From the internal photo is possible to see that main microphone haven´t a good orientation.

The hole is down while the microphone sensitive side is front oriented, and while the secondary microphone nearby camera have a ¨cap guide¨ the main microphone no.

This explain the low sensitivity problem that many people have noticed.
