[General Questions and Answers] Rabid Panda:
I post this in my SGS4G Forum, but haven't gotten any hits, trying to broaden my chances of getting some help.

Ok, before i posted this i searched high and low and really couldn't find a strait answer. Here is what i am trying to do... I have a bunch of cool sounds... I would like to set these sounds as key tones... you know, like when i dial a number on my key pad.

So i got all the files in order, converted them to .ogg, and placed them in /system/media/audio/ui and renamed them key1.ogg key2.ogg etc.... Well nothing happens, i cant even play the file, it says its "unrecognized" by the stock media player and Rockplayer. anyone have any ideas?

I read somewhere that the "program" that plays these files will only recognize certain codecs or something, That is a little outside my AO (area of operation)....any help would be greatly appreciated!

[General Questions and Answers] Rabid Panda:
I found this

http://www.droidnova.com/creating-sound-effects-in-android-part-1,570.html

However, i am not a Dev so this might as well be Japanese, any hints?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
That link is relevant for writting an app that plays sounds.

The app that does this, the dialer already exists though.

This rather sounds like a codec problem.

If you can't open and play those files with the native android player on your phone, the dialer won't be able either.

Recheck the encoding on those sound files and try again.
[General Questions and Answers] Rabid Panda:
they will play from the sdcard, but when i move them to the UI folder on the root, they wont... still an encoding issue?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Could be a permission issue.

There is no permission issue on the sdcard, as all files are accessible to everyone, but this doesnt apply to files in the root folder.

So try changing the permissions.
[General Questions and Answers] Rabid Panda:
Changed the hell out of the permissions, which made the native player play the file.. YAY!! However...:(...when i changed the file name to Key1.ogg from key1a.ogg, i press the corresponding number on the dialer...i get nada. so sound at all, i will play with permissions a little more, maybe change the format to a lower quality file and see if that helps... Thanks for the insite!
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Well the filename has to be the same as the original one, CASE SENSITIVE mostlikely.

To make sure you have absolutely the same kind of file you could extract the original sound file and use a common player (i.e. VLC?) to check the bitrate, encoding, kHz etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Rabid Panda:
I DID IT!!! WOO HOO.. what a pain in the ass! LOL I made the files smaller... less than 16hz and 92kbps.. then sent them all to drop box... copied them to the ui folder... THEN...I renamed the originals...then renamed the new ones.. giving them god permission. It worked!! Wish i was more of a Dev.. i'd make an app to simplify it...took about an hour once i got the hang of it....

I'm more of an epic 4g kinda dude but I wanna help my friend out.. he tried to factory reset his evo 4g.. it had a custom rom running android 2.2 with cwm 7 I believe.. whatever he did leaves him at the bootloader screen. can someone help me out and point me in the right direction or tell me how I would factory reset it from here? Thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
You can do it from FASTBOOT USB or in the operating system, as long as you have the drivers installed.

Also, the phone needs the cache and Dalvik-cache to be cleared from RECOVERY for it to boot from your factory reset.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If he happened to wipe something he shouldn't have, you can always just put a rom on the SD card and flash it through recovery. You can RUU, but it isn't necessary. If he wants to stay stock, just grab the stock rooted rom (deodexed if he wants to theme it, odexed otherwise). I don't use ClockworkMod, but you should have a USB-MS toggle somewhere, or it may say mount as disk drive or something. If you don't have a card reader then you can get the rom on the card that way.

It's been 123 days since the release of Gingerbread:

Now what?
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:

Shifted from my EVO.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no specific time period that's stated in the GPL, right?

Don't get me wrong, it annoys me a bit, and I have no idea why it hasn't been released, but I believe there's a loophole in the GPL that allows such delay (I could be wrong of course, I haven't bothered to read it, and I don't really care enough to bother lol)

But you can bet I won't jump to a crappy feeling Samsung because of this. I cannot stand the feeling of a plastic phone. Heck, I'd switch to the iPhone before switching to a Samsung...and that's saying a lot
[EVO Shift 4G General] kyhassen:
this isnt the first time they violated the release towards gpl. this has happened on several accounts now. i think a couple of times with T-mobile phones. but cant find proof. as far as i heard the usual max date is 90-120 days it should be and they cracked it with this.

But knowing my luck recently with phones it will be out as soon as i get the photon lol.. i was with HTC hero for a long time and they did absolutely nothing for like 4 months. i get htc evo and the next day they start cracking out massive updates on the hero lol. not that im complaing the evo was awesome.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
No reply on HTC USA's or HTC's facebook walls. Supposedly the time limit is 120 days.

Will be calling customer service tomorrow and asking to speak to a manager.

And yes, makes me want to get a Samsung but until they make something like the Shift, I will stay on the Shift. Also HTC build quality is unmatched. SHIFT 4 LYFE.

[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
I saw what I'm assuming is VICODAN's tweet garnered for a response from @htcdev on twitter:

This is currently available listed as "HTC EVO Shift 4G at Sprint – 2.6.32 kernel source code" on this page htcdev.com/devcenter/down…

He said "It's been 123 days since the Gingerbread release," which apparently means that the fine folks running @htcdev aren't actually developers at all. How else would they mistake the version number listed alongside a lot of the word "Froyo" with a gingerbread source?

Seriously, they got the freaking Merge source up before the EVO Shift. In what world does THAT make sense? …. well, no I can answer that. Probably the same world in which the TMo G2 gets its more-or-less vanilla 2.3.4 over a month after we got our Sense 2.3.3, and the same world in which an OS with major security flaws patched in a minor dot update and horrible performance-degrading "tweaks" counts as a valuable software upgrade.

I'm feeling pretty disillusioned with my choice of phone manufacturer these days.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Didn't see their reply. Thanks, I just replied + trolled them. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
No problem - it's been my experience that HTC's support for their products is a joke and that they're abusing the spirit of Free software to enable themselves to print money, and there's really no excuse for this crap to go on.

from the "CRACKED" Speedy EVO Engine...
[EVO Shift 4G General] x99percent:
The "90-120 days" line you get from HTC is pure BS. There is nothing in the GPL that allows a delay in releasing source code licensed under GPLv2. Source code should be made available as soon as the compiled code is released into the wild.

Their current line is that the legal department isn't done "grooming" the code, whatever that means... it's just another BS excuse.

EDIT ... more info:

HTC has decided to release source code under the terms of GPLv2 section 3(b). With that in mind, read the last paragraph in section 4.1.2 of this:
[EVO Shift 4G General] v.90:
I did the best I could, posted a product support ticket asking them to release the 2.6.35 kernel source.

In response to last night's "we posted 6 sources, thanks for your patience," I shared this at them:

@htcdev Merge's 2.3 source is up, it shipped 4 mos. after EVO Shift with GB maintenance release 3 mos. after speedy's. Hard to stay patient.

[7 Mozart General] mb76:
I tried and failed to change my Mozart to a non carrier ROM. I ended up re-installing the carrier ROM (the onyl one I could find was NoDo), it then when through the upgrade to Mango (which I had previously), now whilst downloading all the apps I had previously I can't get the attentive phone app, it doesn't show at all in the HTC apps for marketplace, I can get to the app following links on the net but it won't let me install, I get a warning that this app isn't for my phone. Is there anyway I can get it to work as it did before?

PS has anyone managed to change from O2 UK ROM to the HTC release, I tried following the guides found on here but have so far been unsuccessful

My settings are definitely not like that, I know it was there before I reinstalled, I may just have to try reinstalling from scratch again

I battled that as well and if you install the htc hub app, then go to the list of apps inside the hub and select get more, swipe over to apps you should see it in the list there and it will install. Mince it installs the app it goes away and is in your settings again.

I wanted to start this thread as sort of an informative type of thread. I know there will be other people wondering the same thing. I haven't had t-mobile in years and only dealt with sprint Asurion insurance.

I have been offered t-mobile insurance and I'm not really sure if it would be worth getting it. There were three options given and I wanted to get some insight from some customers that have gone through the insurance in the past. I am leaning towards the middle one that I think was 4.79.

Is this a good insurance to have or should I get the higher priced one that extends the warranty to two years?

Are there any issues over the phone when trying to get a replacement due to software or hardware issues?

How are the refurbs that are sent as replacement?

Here are the two options

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lightningtrip:
I went squaretrade too, with coupon code it was only $90 and covers 2 years and by then I will be on a completely diff phone anyway..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
if they cover screen replacement or water damage, it's a decent protection, if you are ... accident prone like me :p

i used to take those insurance, when i was in school and couldn't afford a new device very often.

once i started getting better jobs, i stopped taking those, as i was switching from phone to phone before i can even crack the old phone :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
Yeah that's kinda where I'm at with it. I am very careful with my phones and usually go through phones pretty quick. I will feel much better about it once I get a case. I always feel like I'm going to drop this thing. I don't know if it's the weight or the slender build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
i just use the tmobil insurance u brick or wreck ur phone u take it into tmobil they replace it with a new one or refurbished one!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
have you looked at the Best Buy insurance?

they are pretty fair and fool prof and it's affordable but the rates varies from phone to phone, so you might want to check in store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
I got my phone through wirefly so I don't know if Bestbuy would warranty a purchase that wasn't at their store.

I did notice that squaretrade doesn't cover loss or theft so that wouldn't be an option.

I am leaning toward the PHP insurance option through T-mobile. Anybody here ever had any issues with that particular type of insurance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mudkip:
Thats the thing i dont like the no loss of theft. but that deductible is killer. i wonder if there is a way to sweet talk them. and i do understand its a deterrent to prevent people from breaking there phone to get the updated hardware as they make revisions or lie and say they lost the phone so they can get a dev phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tskeun:
I had cell phone insiranve since it was 1.99 it just a fall. Back they send it ecpress overnght and u pay lile 130 dedu.(smart phone) it worth it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
Baaed on the answers, I'm thinking that going the insurance route is the best option. This phone feels fragile so I'm going to cover my butt. I think the 4.79 insurance will do. Plus I can cancel at any time which makes It a better deal. I lobe this phone but I know from past experiences that I will probably keep it less than a year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mudkip:
i got it as well. i would rather pay a little extra so im not always worried about the phone. better to have it and not need then to need and not have. replace the phone once and its payed for its self.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goldeman:
ive had/have premium asurion insurance thru tmobile. they cover 3 phones in a 12 month period. i know because ive lost 4 phones already and was left with no choice but to buy the sgs2 lol.

the deductible is what kills you. for any smart phone whether its damaged, lost or stolen, you have to pay 130.00 PERIOD and that includes free overnight shipping. if you order your new phone monday morning you will have it by tuesday afternoon. theres no sweet talking or getting yourself out of that deductible EVER. if your a clutz like me the insurance is worth it. 130 beats 500 any day.

asurion covers stolen, lost, theft, water damage, etc. i guess they dont really care what your excuse is for whatever happened to your phone because your getting ass raped with a deductible. either way i WOULD recommend them. its a small price to pay and believe if you ever do lose your phone you will be more than thankful that you had insurance on it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chrischoi:
They are both worth it. DO NOT go with tie protection plan. They never keep up their end. It's pointless and it's money down the drain. With T-Mobile insurance and warranty... you get a phone... you damage it... there is a deductible. If it's the phone itself, the warranty covers it. Better to pay the deductible then retail of the phone. The phones aren't getting cheaper. You have to think MSRP.

I've been selling phones for dealers and corp for 5+ years. Insurance is a double edged sword. Yes it costs more monthly, yes it adds up and yes there is a deductible. So it's a gamble. Is it worth it? Yes. Is it worth it if nothing goes wrong with the phone? No. But that's the gamble.

Warranty... Personally I'll pass. I don't keep phones past the first year. The phone is covered by manufacturer warranty and I believe the carrier will handle the swap for you. You're paying for the second year in contract for the warranty part... So you pay it the first year when it's covered anyway.

Insurance covers everything... then there is a deductible. Anything happens to the phone, you make a claim and get one the next day. Handled by Asurion.

If you add up the monthly charge for insurance alone + the deductible... you're looking at about $250. If nothing happens and you keep your phone, then you paid insurance for nothing. But that's just insurance... that's how insurance works. If you break it, lose it or get it wet within the first couple months... pay the deductible and get a new one... was insurance worth it? Yes.

Next year... let's say something happens... you've been paying on insurance, pay the deductible. Could you maybe have bought the phone from someone else and saved a little coin? Yes.

It's basically good to have insurance if something happens in the first few months. I recommend putting it on at first and maybe ween yourself off it. But some of you are like me...

Am I too cheap to pay for insurance? Yes.

Will I get insurance? Probably for the first couple months.

Do I have the phone for 6+ months? No.

If I don't have insurance, am I willing to drop $500+ on the latest phone? Sure. I guess I have to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] reocej:

2) this feedback is for the author of Lightspeed ROM:

the A501 patch doesn't work.

with or without SIM card inserted, after the OS is booted it blanks the screen with the boot animation for several seconds, then briefly shows the screen (you can even interact with it if you are quick), then blanks it again with the boot animation and this goes on in a loop.
