[Atrix 4G General] dmalone:
I have had the same issue. What I determined is that for some unknown reason when doing any video calling the microphone being used is the tiny little ambient noise microphone on the back. I tested this out several times in mutliple apps (GTalk, Skype, and Tango). I would literally have to pull off the back cover and talk directly in to the microphone so people could hear me.

My wife and I both had Atrix(es?). I generally liked the phone but the horrible experiences with video chat was killing me. I made the plunge and picked up a couple of iPhone 4S(es?) this weekend.

I have to say that while I appreciate the openness and flexibility that Android brings, Apple has their stuff together.

Facetime works so flawlessly and the audio and video quality is hands down the best I have ever seen or heard.

I am sure I will get bored of it in six months and jump back to Android like I have in the past (I tend to jump around quite a bit.), but if video calling is important to you, I would be doing a disservice by not recommending the iPhone.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
check if noise cancellation is on in the phone settings. turning it off fixed it for me way back when.

if you use a headset, they can hear you clearly. for some reason using the phone on any type of speakerphone mode just ruins the microphone quality.
[Atrix 4G General] FtaWolf:
Try Qik for Atrix. It work quite well..

I second Qik for Atrix.
[HTC Sensation] Zarch1991:
hey guys,

i'm having a issue with flashing new ROMs. i am currently running android revolution HD 3.6.2. i was curious on trying a different roms and i tried to install insert coin 3.3.0 and clockwork said rom installed successfully after following the steps. but i get to a htc boot screen then the screen goes black then htc screen pops up again. i left the phone alone thinking it was just part of the first boot process. left the phone alone for 20 minutes still doing the same thing. so then i tried cm7, and got the same issue after following the sticky guide for cm7. i flashed back to hd and it booted fine. then i tried to use RUU to go back to stick, and the two tmobile versions up didnt work.

any suggestions? i am curious to try other roms.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Just kind of a basic step. If you go from one rpm to a completely different one your going to want to superwipe. Especially if they are different builds. You can flash an update like 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 but not ARHD to insertcoin. Try superwipe and flash a new Rom. Just make sure you make nand backup so you can always go back If something goes wrong.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
When you installed the drivers, did you right click and run as administrator?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaanhoot:
It would be helpful to know what mode you are trying to connect in, download mode, usb mass media, usb drive or tethering. Did you install heimdall by any chance? On your phone switch to a different option under usb settings and see if your computer will detect your phone then. Sometimes if you install a new rom, usb drive wont work until you switch it to mass media then back to usb drive.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] cdzo72:
Ok guys my dilemna is pretty straightforward:

First of all the reason for decompiling, I hate apps that don't rotate... I use my Streak in landscape 99% of the time like it was meant to be used... so I had an app that I wanted to convert, Remote Web Desktop...

So the whole thing goes perfect, BUT when I want to install over the existing app it says app not installed, BUT if I uninstall the existing app and replace it with mine then I'm all good.

So I'm sure it has to do with signing, but I don't know how to do anything about that. I'm using Sign+ v1.2.2 to sign my apps if that makes a difference. And the only thing I'm changing is the AndroidManifest.xml to enable rotation to sensor instead of portrait or landscape.

Any help would be appreciated
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] TheManii:
Editing apks obviously invalidates their signatures.

normal apps (installed in data) only allows correctly signed apks. The cert must also match when updating.

system apps (ie installed in system\app) do not, their signatures are genrally not checked, except if when updating if applicable

It's exactly as you described, if you want to modify an app you must resign it and cannot update it automatically anymore because it's cert is different.

The only way to update in the future is to bug the dev to add in your change for all users or to update manually every time for both reasons.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] cdzo72:
Thank you TheManii, that's exactly the type of answer I was looking for to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong or had left out a step.

So you are saying that when an update comes along, I won't be able to install it, I will have to manually uninstall my version as I did before and install the new version?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] TheManii:
Yes, one of the first things the app updater checks if the app is signed with the same cert as the previous version, along with the internal version number
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] cdzo72:
Thanks again, I guess it's a step I will have to bear and I'll write to the devs of the apps I have modded...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrichards2009:
Ok, so per my GF's instructions, she did NOT want her brand new transformer rooted. I've rooted every other device of hers and she just wanted this one to be stock.

Anyway, ever since it was brand new after we loaded all her apps on it, it'll restart if it goes to sleep. But its only sometimes. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. We've done a ton of factory resets, I've NVFlashed stock rom unrooted, as well as the Prime rom, formatted the SD card, I mean everything I know to do.

We've tried monitoring apps, to see if there were bugs with any. But it doesn't seem like there are because it'll occasionally reboot even fresh out of a reset with nothing at all installed.

I've got a ton of event logs (ramdumpblahblah.log), is there anyone who knows how to read the issues from the code? I think uploading random files is somewhat of a no no but if there's someone that could help make heads or tails of them I'd sure appreciate it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MaliciousBanjo:
I've been using the LeeDroid Custom ROM on my HTC Inspire for a few months now, and I really like it. I think it's identical to Revolution; with just a few slight cosmetic differences. I know I've flashed Revolution zips and it worked on LeeDroid, which is nice.

My question is concerning the Rosie 3D Carousel animation on the home screen. Does anyone know of a way to change the highlight theme? For me it seems to only be in green. Even when I change the "Skin" to a blue theme, the home screen app selection is green. Although the rest of the phone is themed blue.

If anyone could help, it'd be very much appreciated. Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colton127:
Does anybody have any experience with under clocking the beefy Galaxy S II, mainly to preserve battery life? How big of a difference is there when under clocking, and, is it really worth it?

I had used 7 hours of standby and 1 hour of display. The brightness was about 50%, with the CPU at a 200/500mhz. I had a little over 75% of battery life at this time. There was absolutely no lag as far as I could tell - just a .5 second delay sometimes. The internet worked fine - and even Modern Combat 2 HD ran silky smooth.

Thanks for the help. Any suggestions, comments, and tips are welcome. I'm really just new to Android and are loving it - so much freedom!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
WHen I first had my GS2, the first thing I was concerned about was battery life. I did try underclocking but i couldn't stand the lag between screen transitions that it gave me.

For me the best solution for battery was to update to a KI3 based ROM, which gave me the best battery life I've had. But that's just me, if you are able to stand the side effects of underclocking, it will surely boost your batery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a67543210:

I got the charger and 2 batteries from amazon, and have been running them for over a week now. In that time, my phone had not touched a charger! lol

So far they last a long time and do not heat up. NO JOKE, my phone is 27 hours with 33% left, with light to medium use.... that's reading mu pules blogs, playing some games, surfing the web, chacking emails, and facebook, using it as a flashlight a few times and checking out the market for new apps.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Xerovius:
I meant are they the same physical size as the original 1650mah samsung batteries, or will you need a larger back case
[Galaxy S II Accessories] IronMit:
same size. you use your existing back case your phone came with. I find it lasts slightly longer then stock.

After a couple of cycles the battery takes 6-7hrs to trickle charge in the dock charger.

But its hardly an inconvenience when you have 50% battery in your phone and a spare battery in your back pocket just incase and a battery charging at home on the dock charger.

and I never have to connect my phone to a charger either.

Great!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] shockingpants:
Nice to see another member from sg. I have used to for almost 2 weeks now.

So here's what I think. (its not an official benchmark test)

Using CM7 and launcher pro

Wifi or 3g switched on all the time

No GPS

Alarm Clock Plus running the whole night.

Casual games and surfing.

No video watching.

No calls, no text,

About 2 hours of music

24 hours later, ~15% left.

This performance is about the same as the stock battery, so you should not expect a drastic improvement. But with a total of 3 batteries including stock, you can pretty much do whatever you want during the day and charge when you need to.

One good thing about this arrangement. You are always charging your battery only when its empty, so i suppose battery life will last longer?

For the price and functionality, its a very good buy.

Update: It does heat up considerably when i stream videos and battery life dropped 15-20% for every 25 min of streaming. It could be a rom thing and not the battery's fault.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] poofish:
Aside from how well the battery performs, which I won't comment on as I don't own one, your statement about 'charging your battery only when its empty, so i suppose battery life will last longer?' is actually incorrect.

Lithium-ion batteries are more conducive to a partial discharge than a full one. The only time you ever full discharge your battery is to calibrate the battery meter, normally once every few weeks of use. Constantly draining the battery to 0 and then recharging it will actually harm lithium-ion batteries.

As stated here, http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries 'Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better.'

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

I should have wrote a disclaimer that I am not 100% certain if that increases batt life. I am not so sure that it'll harm the battery if you perform full charge discharge, but i do know that the cycle means you are using pretty much calibrated battery all the time. For people interested in finding out more, that article is a good reference. Make your own judgement after reading it.
