[Acer Iconia A500] Jeckler:
I've been experiencing the "bug" where I would plug in a set of headphones and the Music app would start playing, even with it previously closed. Sometimes I would get sound out of both the headphones and speakers (with terrible quality, BTW) and would have to unplug and plug in the headphones again.

So I searched and found a free app called Disable Autoplay. I installed it last night and when I got to work this morning and plugged in my headphones, PowerAMP started up and started playing music, badly. I figured out that there's an option within Poweramp itself to stop that behavior, but it still sounded like crap no matter what I did, even toggling media control off/on/off in the Disable Autoplay app. I even uninstalled the app, then rebooted, same issue.

Finally I had to toggle Dolby Digital off then back on in Settings in order to get good sounding audio back.

I haven't had the Music app, or nemoplayer (which sometimes exhibited the same behavior as Music) autostart at all this morning, which is good, and I've edited the options in Poweramp not to start (or resume) when headphones are inserted or removed.

Has anyone else used this app and had these types of issues? I'm wondering if I reinstall it if I'm going to get the crappy audio again and won't be able to toggle Dolby off/on again to get it back. I'm really wondering if I should bother reinstalling it, since Music isn't doing its autostart anymore anyway.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jeckler:
Well this is crap. Every time I reboot my Tab, I have to toggle Dolby off and on in order for audio to sound right. Time for a reset.

I suggest staying away from Disable Autoplay. It seems to have do bad things, at least to the Iconia.

Are there any GB ROMS with working wifi calling? I don't get reception at my house so this is a must for me. I've searched the forum and haven't turned up anything.

I've been using wifi calling with valhalla without issue. A couple of times, the other person says they hear an echo, but I don't think that has happened in a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pamulli:
Is wifi calling already in the ROM or are you installing it? I didn't see any mention of it in the OP, but I could have missed it.

Thanks,

I'm running Audiophile (GB 2.3.4) and I use wifi calling every day.

now... I have tried every modem (KHI even) and my signal is WORSE with GB than Froyo at my house, but Wifi Calling does work well (for me)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] intent2smile:
I use wifi calling with ICBINB without any problem. I have tried the ICBINB and the ICBINB 2.xx. I did not have any problem with either one of them with wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pamulli:
I installed Valhala 1.2 and so far wifi calling is working fine. I didn't realize that it was built on the Sammy leak so it has wifi calling in the ROM. I had been looking for it listed as a feature in the OP.

Hi

first of all I have to say I'm a noob to android

I tried to root my device and ended up with a brightness problem. Now the brightness is too much and it looks wired.

So as suggested in this forum I change my mind to flash and upgrade the firmware.

*#1234# code gives below results in my phone

PDA:I9100JPKH1

PHONE:I9100XXKG5

CSC:I9100JPKH1

So downloading the files and flashing with Odin will solve the problem?

(If not please tell me what should i do)..

And what will happen if i download and install

This version provided in this thread?

Firmware info

PDA:XXKG5

PHONE: XXKG5

Date: 27/07/2011

Android 2.3.4

Whole point is to get my phone updated to 2.3.4 since JPKH1 still has not received 2.3.4 update but 2.3.3.

So will any of the above things I'm planning to do end up with problems?

I at least want my phone back without this creepy brightness issue.

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Install KH3 from the stock rom thread. 2.3.4.

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobyy:
Thanks for the quick reply JJEgan.

are you sure my Modem/phone is compatible with KH3?

And this one is the stock rom thread you mentioned right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You will need to read the thread .

Firmware Modems kernels and CSC are interchangeable in most cases .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobyy:
So if i install KH3 on my KH1, do i need to change the kernels?

Right now my phone has a issue with brightness after rooting, I think it's a result of using the wrong kernel.

What should be the procedure to update my phone and fix the brightness issue?

I'm in a mess. please help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes but you are going backwards in builds .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobyy:
Well i think i've done it.

First of all i installed kh3 firmware with Odin (from this thread). It solved my brightness problem but unrooted my phone. (Updating to 2.3.4 succeeded).

Then i rooted my device again using the Chainfire's insecure kernel which again caused to arise the brightness issue. (If you have any problem with superoneclick view this threads first post).

And then i did the same with the KH3 stock kernel except the thing with superoneclick(from this thread)to remove the yellow triangle on startupscreen and fix the brightness issue and i'm done.

Thanks a lot jje.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lSuDl:
Hello all,

So, my X10 was 2.1 till yesterday, and then I've decided to upgrade to 2.3.3. It was rooted and with xRecover.

So, I made a backup with 2 app: Mobile Backup II and Safe Backup. Actually, the only thing I care about are my Contacts.

I've used Wolfbreak's version 2.3.3 v4 (I've heard that is the best one and all) using the xRecover, and making a backup of my OS before. After installed the 2.3.3 v4 I make the update with Flashtool of 2.3 kernel and .71 baseband, as said by Wolfbreak.

ALL WORKED GREAT! The only problem, is that those 2 backups apps don't work well, and they bring all messed up and very few of my contacts.

SO I thought in restore my old 2.1 using xRecover and sync my contacts with Gmail, and later bring back to 2.3.3 from Gmail.

Thats the problem, I made the Restore, and the Phone became stucked in SE sreen in a loop. THEN I read that this happen because of the baseband.

I could fix it flashing a 2.3.3 using flashtool, and my phone is Ok with original 2.3.3. BUT no rooted and no xRecover now.

What should I do to back my 2.1 and export my contacts to gmail? After this I will install again Wolfbreaks v4 and import the contacts, but now, I don't know how to back to 2.1.

Help please? =P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
Use flashtool to go back to 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lSuDl:
actually, my question is: Can I rollback to 2.1 with the baseband of 2.3 installed, that was what bricked my phone before, even with flashtool? Or flashing a 2.1 will erase even the baseband?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
It's an all-in-one package, if you use the flashtool to flash back to 2.1, then the 2.1 firmware package actually includes the baseband for 2.1 roms as well.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldeleeuw:
You could also use flashtool to only downgrade the baseband/kernel to (baseband 65 or maybe lower) AND use xRecovery to restore your to 2.1 installation.

But doing a full rollback with flashtool to 2.1 and restore your data with xRecovery will also be fine.

When on 2.1 you could make a backup of your contacts using GoContacts. The app has an option to backup your contacts to a single .vcf (also known as vcard). You can import a VCF with gmail.

You can upgrade your baseband/kernel and firmware again to 2.3.3. And let your device sync with your gmail-account
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
Yeah you will need to flash 2.1 generic, then root it with flashtool and install xRecovery, then restore back to your old 2.1

Use other backup programs such as My Backup Root, Titanium Backup as they can backup application data as well

As for contacts I just attach it to my gmail account and restore it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lSuDl:
Really thanks guys! =P

So, I did flash a 2.1, and THEN restore my old 2.1.

But something funny happened, my old 2.1 doesn't accept any connections, like GPS, WiFI and even my phone operator. If I tried to turn some of these on, it restarts...

Anyway, I could export my contacts by USB with PCCompanion and open it in Gmail, like you said.

After I've installed 2.3.3 WB v4, and then import from my gmail account.

Now it's all working great. I've just installed Link2SD, and it's working great.

Funny my restore 2.1 problem... but now it' all OK!

THANKS AGAIN! ^^

I literally just bought mine at about 5:20pst at Target but it was priced $34.98. I asked when it was marked down and they told me this morning. Nonetheless, at least I didnt pay full price. So its a win for me.

Either way YMMV per Target location. So check around!

I'm in Texas. One thing I forgot to mention is that my box had two tags. One for the price the other poster took photos of above, and another for the $17. The clerk rang up the Niger of the two.

Thanks geekriot. Ill have to ask a Texas friend to check the price for me and snag one.

[Networking] mapobean:
This is for anyone who uses a wireless headset to listen to Pandora or a similar streaming app. I have been served with several notices about my illegal tethering but i have never tethered or use that feature nor do i use my webtop or the hdmi on my phone. I found out after talking with AT&T to resolve this, that they consider it tethering when you use your Bluetooth, whether it be to a headset or car stereo or even your TV to listen to streaming music you are tethering. AT&T claims that even if you are at home and you are on your home wifi network that they are still requiring you to have a tethering plan to stream to a Bluetooth device. Yes absurd it is and completely ridiculous in my eyes.

Please respond with your comments
[Networking] falconeight:
If they did that to me I would cancel that day.
[Networking] rhys42:
Had the same conversation with them today, only the rep said that Pandora--->BT headphones is NOT tethering, but Pandora--->BT car stereo IS tethering. I think she was just reading from a script because when I told her I was using Bluetooth headphones, she wanted to know what kind of cable I used for that...
[Networking] BenKranged:
At&t is continuing to get more and more absurd with their definition of "tethering" and rules regarding it.
[Networking] woody1:
What? How would they detect that you're using BT at all? And if they can tell that you're using BT, how can they tell what you're using it for??
[Networking] lurchbyrep:
She apparently didn't know what Bluetooth means, and thought instead that you were talking about a wired set of headphones. Regardless, Bluetooth streaming has as little (nothing) to do with AT&T as a wired connection does. The reason they can tell when you use Bluetooth or use your phone as a wifi hotspot is because the data sent to your phone sends a sort of "receipt" back to the carrier. Included in this uplink packet is a number which decreases by one everytime the signal is bounced to and returned from another device. If they see this number has been decreased more than your device does on its own, they can assume you are "tethering" wirelessly.

I have just received a letter, a phone call, and a text message about this myself. I have a Bluetooth head unit in my car and adapter for my computer with which I listen to streaming music. Needless to say, I am outraged. It's the same sort of crap we went through before with forced data plans for smartphones: these days you can't even buy a smartphone, not even from a third party, and use only 2G voice. Maybe you want a smartphone for its functionality as a pda, or maybe you would like to use wifi once in a while. Nope. It's almost like Exxon charging me for NOT driving my car.
[Networking] dmonleo:
From what I gather, T-Mobile does offer more value with no restrictions, while using Android you don't incur fees for using the hotspot features. That is Malarkey, for the carriers to restrict functionality devices. Hopefully, AT&T will honor the Tmobile contract if the succeed in their acquisition. If not, then will be looking for a reasonable MVNO.
[Networking] KB0SDQ:
Iwould ask the same question how do they know that you are using bluetooth. Big brother theroy If I had that provider and they did that i would to them to stick it. Thats why I am with MetroPCS no questions and dont expect much lol
[Networking] sonus:
It seems pretty clear to me that MOST of you probably incurred abnormally high data usage due to lots of Pandora streaming causing you to be automatically flagged as a likely candidate for internet tethering/internet sharing without paying for it.

The reps likely had a 30 minute info session on what internet tethering is and heard that it can occur via USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth. So lacking any real knowledge about these things they heard you say you connected your phone via bluetooth to your car, etc. and thought bluetooth tethering/internet sharing instead of seeing it for what it is... a simple audio connection.
[Networking] Zaiaku:
Would have to agree with him.
[Networking] smokestack76:
I agree as well. I was flagged for tethering because i download ROMs and what not on my phone. I was grandfathered in with my old unlimited data plan. So my data is ultra high all the time. Once i went over all my months of service and the high data they dropped the tethering from my bill. It is nuts how they watch us now :eek:
[Networking] greenstuffs:
Well either just pay whatever AT&T ask you to pay or get out and use some sort of prepaid service such as Straight Talk or the new tmo plan for $30 a month.

Nagging around will get you nowhere and you'd still have to pay.
[Networking] Longcat14:
Honestly, that's true.

I know that all carriers will go after you for tethering (minus T-Mobile, they don't seem to give a ****) if they charge for it, and you do it without paying.

All these people saying "We shouldn't have to pay for using our same data!", look at it this way, the $45 data plan w/ tethering has 4GB, the $25 data plan without tethering is 2GB, basically your only paying for the extra 2GB if you went over on the $25 plan, AND they won't say anything about you tethering, so it's really a win/win.

More data + ability to tether without AT&T *****ing.
[Networking] chschris2011:
Its not the data they look at, back when i had an unlimited plan and a laptop with a mobile bb built in card id slip my sim in that, fire my lappy up, and have mobile broadband with a unlimited data plan (non-smartphone). AT&T never questioned me, even though my usage chart had enormous spikes occasionally, im talking like >100mb to a few GB. I have a captivate now and have been tethering it occasionally since i got it, suddenly last month i started getting texts saying they were gonna add tethering to my plan if i didnt stop, support rep, no TWO support reps tried to tell me it was because i was streaming pandora to my car stereo with the line in port and headphone jack. I knew that was TOTAL BS, and finally a rep in a different dept. agreed with me, said the reps who said that were idiots, and that they can tell you are tethering by like the user agent strings in your computer and the way your phone is communicating with the network. Im sorta dissapointed about their crackdown, but i was clearly in the wrong, violating my contract, probably breaking several laws. AT&T is cracking down on tetherers not to be mean, but to keep the network flowing smooth and provide the best, most reliable wireless service in america. In short my POV comes from the simple fact that radio towers are like garden hoses, only so much data can flow through at once. Mobile broadband was not designed for high loads that tethering puts on them, it was designed to allow a cellular phone to recieve and transmit data OTA. As new technology comes out (3g, 4g, etc.) the networks are able to handle more and more, in the future i can see mobile broadband replacing DSL and Satellite internet. Especially as 4G gets established. The reason AT&T has a reputation for poor service in metropolitian areas is because of the high load on the towers. Im sure every single tower in NYC is overloaded, especially during morning and evening commutes, just look at all the people sucking water through the garden hose
[Networking] bulletproof1013:
Or......they just want everyone off the unlimited plan to get more money? Its always about the money.
[Networking] demonspork:
If they are using the browser user-agent to identify people who are tethering, doesn't that mean that they are looking at the information you are sending/recieving? That packet could just as easily have a credit card number instead of a user-agent string (assuming you are using a shady site that doesn't encrypt it to begin with).

Can anyone confirm/deny if this would constitute wiretapping and thus be illegal?
[Networking] woody1:
I would think that if they're looking into your data deep enough to see the agent string, that they could easily look at other data, too. I would be interested in knowing if it's legal for them to do that.

Also, if they're checking up on you by looking at your data, I would think that you could defeat that by using an encrypted proxy. I would be very interested in knowing if anybody has tested any of these approaches and knows for sure what AT&T is up to and what we can do about it.
[Networking] demonspork:
I think that the user agent is included plaintext initially before the encryption starts. I may wrong on that point though. I have sent a query to att about this and we will see what they say.
