[Defy General] LetoKynes:
Hi all,

Been having some problems with my Defy's earpiece.

Abit of background, before it started acting up:-

1. Damaged the screen and LCD in a fall, phone could turn on but nothing visible on screen

2. Sent to repair in a mobile phone repair shop, they replaced the screen and LCD

Phone now works fine, but the earpiece works abit randomly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to work more often when I receive calls, compared to when I make calls.

The only way I can make a call is by checking first whether the earpiece is working, by logging on to Skype and calling the Echo/Test Sound Service thing. If it's working at the time, then I can make the call as usual. If it's not working, I usually end up having to use the speaker, which works fine.

Is this issue likely to be due to manufacturing problems, or could it have been damaged (along with the screen and LCD) when I fell?

I got the phone in December 2010. I would take it into a T-Mobile store to see if the warranty covers it, but I have a feeling they might somehow know that I sent it elsewhere to get the screen and LCD replaced - I'm guessing this would void my warranty.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Would appreciate any help, thanks :)
[Defy General] farsight73:
They definitely know you'd sent the phone to another shop for repair. All phones having the warranty sticker sitting in the battery compartment. Now all you can do is pray they just go blindly repair your phone..
[Defy General] LetoKynes:
Hmm.. thanks, I might just bring it back to the shop that repaired the screen for me.. if it's too expensive then maybe I'll try change the earpiece myself..

Please help. Try to install Tiamat on my Xoom. I am wrote zip-file with ROM on sd-card. After that reboot in recovery mode. Was done wipe data and factory rest.

After that choose "Apply update from USB drive" and get error: E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory). What is problem?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
Please refer to this thread.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Do you have ClockworkMod. Recovery solarnz version R4c installed? What sdcard are you flashing the zip file from? You chose the wrong option from the recovery menu...you need to choose "install zip file from sdcard" or something like that. Then "choose zip file" navigate to it and choose it,

If you are trying to flash the zip file from your 'internal' sdcard, it won't work. You need a physical micro sdcard, inserted in your Xoom.

But now have other problem. After flashing Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.2.1.Moray.zip device is not boot. I only see animated screen with water waves. Screen blinkink time from time. What this?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caldaga:
Same Issue with Blue Phokus!Tiamat Screen

Let me give you some specifics on exactly what I tried to do, maybe I made an obvious mistake that lead to this problem.

First I am am on a stock kernel Xoom that has had CWM Recovery flashed and a new boot.img flashed so that I could root it. I did that a few weeks ago so that I could start taking advantage of some of the superuser applications I wanted to use. It did not take me long to realize that I still seemed to be locked down a bit as far as overclocking and the like. So I decided to start considering custom roms/kernels. I decided to go with the Tiamat-Xoom-Rom-2.2.2.Moray.zip. I opened up CWM Rom Manager and go to install ROM from SD Card, and go to my downloads folder and choose the zip. From there CWM takes over on backing up / installing the new ROM. However, it will never get past that blue splash screen. I was able to reboot into recovery and load a backup I took right before trying to load the ROM. However, any help getting the ROM to work would be appreciated.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
You will need to go into recovery menu, choose: wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. If you change roms, in this case from stock to Tiamat Moray, you will need to wipe/factory reset. Otherwise, bootloops.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caldaga:
Thanks and a couple questions

i had read that I had to do a factory reset /restore before doing this and thought that might be the problem. I appreciate the quick response a couple questions I have.

Will this reset also reset my boot.I mg and recovery? Do I have to catch the boot sequence back into recovery before it reboot after the reset to avoid issues or let it boot fully? I do appreciate the help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
No a "wipe data/factory reset" will only wipe/reset your data to the basic level of the most recent rom you flashed. You need to do this to clear out anything from earlier versions that might conflict with the new rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] loganno:
Hello everyone, I have the Rom stocks, which kernel I install with the overclock?

I can also give the kernel stock so I can restore?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iNzzane:
So got the Incredible S in the beginning of July and was very happy with it, beat the hell out of my old HD2 who got bricked :( Desided not to root this one cause it was already android and i didnt want to break the warranty. But then the 2.3.3 update came and i didnt recieve text and calls was dismissed. (it is an own thread about this issue on the forums) so i desided to try a rom from XDA to see if this could help solve the issue. It did not but i rooted the phone (S-off right?) and used it with GSM only.. today i talked with HTC support and got a hold of the RUU_Vivo_HTC_WWE_1.36.405.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172670_signed.. the cusomter support guy uploaded it and i installed it with the USB cable.. the installer said everything went fine.. the phone reebots.. boots to the HTC logo screen and turns off again.. and keeps on going in the same cycle..

I can get into bootloader, but when i press "power" to choose recovery it goes straight to the white htc screen again and reebots.. what to do now? :( Is this one dead also?

Any media files I put on the internal storage are not being picked up by either the video player or music player. I can still access/play these files through the file manager. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Azriaphale:
Try Rescan Media by Aditya Talpade on the Market, solved the same problem for me.

There are two versions of the app one for rooted phones and one not.
[Galaxy S II General] enzov:
Thanks, but that did not work.

The media scanner works and does pickup media on a microsd, but not on the internal storage.

I put a video file in the /sdcard folder of the internal storage and not the subfolders. Now the video application picks it up. Any idea what may be wrong with the subfolders? I did do a format of the internal storage.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Do you have a rogue .nomedia file lying in any of your subfolders?
[Galaxy S II General] enzov:
Not in the usbStorage folder. There are .nomedia files in other subfolders.
[Galaxy S II General] brannutz:
You cant put anything in the /sdcard folder that's the folder that becomes the external micro sd card when you disconnect/unmount the drives.

Just make a new folder in the root of the internal storage and call it whatever you like. Then put your videos in there.
[Galaxy S II General] enzov:
So just make folders in the /sdcard/usbstorage for media?

Just to confirm, what is the proper procedure for loading media onto the internal storage? Connect with usb utilities, copy media, disconnect?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Connect your phone in mass storage mode to PC.

Open Phone via windows explorer .

Make new folder video

Copy a few videos in to this folder .

Via file explorer on phone locate and open a video in this folder .

Should now see them as normal .

[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
My dad is overseas and the speakers on his TF crapped out. No longer work, used to be able to tap the rear and they'd come back on but now he gets nothing. He won't be back in the US for another couple months and will be in Dubai tomorrow for a couple weeks.

Now the Asus website shows a repair center in Dubai that supports the "EEE Family" but I'd thought i'd check if anyone on here has dealt with them for the TF. How long did it take to repair, was it a good job, etc.

Trying to see whether he should just wait till he's back in the US or go ahead and get it repaired there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I was driving home from work yesterday. I happened to pick up my phone and see that my wife called. So I hold the Windows key and say "Call home".

.

.

.

.

It pauses and then says "searching for 'call home'".

It can't be serious. How does it not know that I was saying "call home" not "FIND call home".

It clearly heard me say "call home", yet for some reason pulled up Bing and searched for the phrase "call home".

Happen for anyone else? How the hell do I change that? Because I've definitely said "call home" in the past and it worked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dilzo:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
You said a wrong command.. you should say 'Call my wife'.. Siri..
[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
Err, some of my suggestion after few attemps now works more better.

I usually use voice command to do simple texting and call my girlfriend.

I press windows key, wait for the prompt, then say call / text (pause for awhile) Cha Lee (pause for awhile) mobile, which will let me to call /text her mobile number.

Just keep in mind that the name you speak after the call / text command must be the same in the contact.
[Windows Phone 7 General] acefiredx:
I'm having problems with voice commands too.

Mango seems to have screwed it up. It worked much better on NoDo.

On NoDo, whenever I say Start "App name", it recognizes it on the first go and starts it.

On Mango, when I try to do the same thing(same accent and everything), it either 1. Searches Bing 2. Call one of my contacts 3. Application could not be found.

I think it's an OS issue.

Another example: Wanted to test Voice-To-Text, so I said "I just updated my phone to Mango". It came out "I just updated my phone to angel".

How does angel rhyme with mango? This was done in a quiet environment.

Perhaps it's an issue caused by forcing Mango?

I forced mine. Anyone with un-forced Mango having similar issues?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
The pronunciation of angel and mango is pretty similar...

I don't know, it's worked pretty well for me for the most part, but voice recognition still has a long way to go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Good replies here.

Yeah the contact is just the one word "Home" and our home line. And it worked just fine before.

I think acefiredx may be on to something. Maybe a bug in Mango. And yes I forced mine, although it wouldn't make any sense for that to be the issue. I could be wrong though, my 'coding' days were with QBasic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It may be because the way you talk. The same way accents and things like that can fool the human ear, it can definitely fool a phone.

I don't talk slow, but I can say "Call <x> mobile" all day long and the phone does fine.

That being said, I've not big on voice command and barely use it, anyways - like 90% of the world.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
To be honest, unless you're getting to Moon-like interaction, then yeah, voice commands aren't that useful.

When would you use them? If you're with or around even one person, you're not or you'll feel like a douche. And if you're alone it's weird to talk outloud to a computer, it also doesn't inconvenience you to navigate with your fingers.

Driving is the only thing. But like I said, only if it's sci-fi grade. Is Siri? I'm sure it has some neat tricks to understand humans, but no, it can't be. If it were, then Apple just discovered real AI.

-edit-

Although I just sent a text without pushing a button. Ok that was pretty cool.

AND I tried the "call.. home". And that worked. So maybe I was talking too fast who knows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] flygeani:
Same problem here, but it`s funny... one time i said "find little dog" and the phone searched for "legal drug" wtf :)

I have a question DO I NEED INTERNET FOR VOICE SMS? because when i connect it to PC and try to send a voice sms it works. but when i disconnect it doesn't recognise nothing and keep 'thinking'.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Yes you need internet.. it send your voice to your carrier i think and than it comes back with the words.. its I think for regionalization.. to identify your accent and not just uniform american accent accross all phones.. also it would take a lot of memory to save all those voice commands on phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
This is exactly what I means, give a small pause after each voice command. ;)

Glad that works for you. I always used that to call and text when I'm driving.

(Of coz with a headset on)
[Windows Phone 7 General] esqueue:
Yes, the following command has worked in the past. Seems that my arrive is just getting problematic. I can't use the flashlight anymore as the touch bottons on the front are too sensitive. I even have issues turning the phone off. I have to hold it on the top part of the size. Back on topic.

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The only thing I use it for is to have SMS conversations while I'm walking down the street. Because when it's 25 degrees outside you don't want to take your glove off just to respond. However, I've been noticing it missing texts. I feel the Vibrate and hear the Notification tone, but it doesn't give me to option to have it read or reply to it.

But it's the only phone I have that allows me to do that, so I deal with it. The accuracy when dictating texts is much better than Google. ALMOST on par with Vlingo. The server round trips are very long, though...
[Windows Phone 7 General] neoxphuse:
^ Might want to check that in the settings...

However. I find that the voice input is not good at all, even worse with Mango. If you actually use "WhatIs" App, it is defintely way better in actually saying what it is.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Today on wp7 " call home " and it binged "taliban"...three attemtps failed.

Today on siri ... doesn't matter... it works every single time.. for everything.

Today, on android through my jacket (phone in pocket) with a dirt bike running "navigate to trailhead purdy" and it started navigation to the exact location I asked. Open dualsportmaps worked, starting plotting a gps (gpx) track immediately. "Text wife mobile im lost but ok, be home late".... all through my jacket.. wow
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It's checked, that's why I said it misses them. It gets one and then fails to trigger on the next one.

I find the Speech Recognition for texting rather decent. I think the server round trips are excessive, though. I boxed up my Vibrant to use the HD7 as a daily driver and the biggest issue I'm having with the "transition" is the lack of Vlingo's voice service on WP7. On Android you can use their app and you can also set Vlingo as the default speech service for the phone to use in the settings. It's much more accurate and round trips a lot faster than TellMe.

Also, there are too few places where you can dictate text into input boxes (no Mic on the keyboard).

I think that will hurt them in the long run, though, since they won't be collecting as much speech data as Google/Apple does on their devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
Great point

I wanted to bring this up after playing with my Focus S for a while I notice that my original Focus understands alot more items. I find it harder now to call people using voice dial on the Focus S as it was very easy on the predecessor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
I am a die hard Windows Phone fan but Tellme sucks ass. It makes me laugh of all the people on YouTube comparing Tellme and Google Talk to Siri when Siri is more of an A.I. rather than a piece of **** voice command. Half of the time the **** doesn't understand me, I have enunciate so it can understand me. I've seen Siri in action and it is right on point no matter the accent of the person.

This is just a hunch, but when I was updating to the latest version of HTC Sync, it mentioned something about being able to repair the phone if it's stuck in the HTC screen, you could give it a try. I don't know maybe I read it wrong, I tried to google it but I didn't find anything.

Does anyone know the best place to search for files on the phone that are not necessary to have & just take up memory?

The reason I ask is that I have the stupid red icon that says internal phone storage space is nearly full & then the uninstall apps/data

The thing is that 99% of every app I have is on the SD card, my pics are on the SD card, I have no music on the phone & I have no idea where to look for stuff to delete.

The phone says 48MB on it when the red icon shows up. Tried Cache cleaner, but that doesn't do that much. I'm sure there are hidden files or temp files or something i'm missing. Even cleared slacker stuff, & internet cache.
