is this something that can be fixed like out was on the Evo3d? or is it hardware related?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russell1997:
i would give it a 7 out of 10.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jimmiekain:
has anyone tried this method? it seems to address this issue on the evo3d maybe it works for other htc phones??

Still waiting to recieve the phone, i'm hoping that its better than im expected. The one good thing about my iphone 4 was it had a good speaker, lets hope its as good or slightly worse.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] henrybravo:
Sad to hear the audio situation hasn't improved on the Vivid versus the Inspire. I love my Inspire, but one of the first things I noticed was its low headset volume, since I was accustomed to the loud and clear volume output of my previous iPhones and iPods. Back when I listened to music on my iPhone 4, I didn't typically blare it at 100%, but a two-thirds volume level on the iPhone is equivalent to 100% volume level on my Inspire. The problem is that music starts to distort at 100% on the Inspire. While there are various hacks to increase the volume beyond 100% (apps like Volume+ or DSP Manager on CyanogenMod) there is always a downside - the sound distortion gets worse the higher you push the DSP past 100%, which is why HTC sets the maximum volume to the lower level. The bottom line is HTC is choosing to use poor audio hardware in their phones (maybe the new Beats phones are an exception).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] geek_riot:
For all of your questions, I would say:

Clarity is fine, but overall 'loudness,' not so much.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I had an HTC Aria when it first came out. The loudspeaker on that was of DECENT volume but good clarity. The Vivid's is clear with all sound (aside from call quality, don't like it very much). It just isn't that loud. But with how high the volume can go, it doesn't sound bad at all.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Truthfully with manufacturers these days you Either get Really loud and barely legible or like this phone Clear but not Glaringly Loud and if your in a crowded room trying to talk your probably not going to hear it very well. So it's a trade off for clarity or loudness. It's generally personal preference regarding this. I would suggest testing it yourself and deciding from there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Thanks!

Volume+ works great! Fixes the issue and isn't overly distorted.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jimmiekain:
how about for phone calls while on speakerphone and for incoming call ringing? does it increase that too?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] linkismyhero:
I came from an iPhone, so the ringer volume on this phone is kinda disappointing in comparison. When I'm at work (Best Buy), I can barely hear the ringer, if at all.

Does Volume+ work with the ringer as well, or just audio?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randrewm97:
Well this phone is my first android phone so I can't tell you if it is good compared to others, but I use to have an iPhone and the speaker phone is louder than the iPhone but music is a little louder. I'm happy with the volume
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] QLtnpapi:
I Believe That It Has Improve Over The Inspire But not as good as the iphone or the Galaxy s II.This Was The Thing That I Was Really Hoping To See Improved.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
yes... seems to help there as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gattech:
Totally useless...

As a phone ringer. I can barely hear an incoming call ringer if I have the phone on a shirt pocket, in a car driving with windows rolled down, etc.

As an alarm clock, is even worse.

Hope they can fix it in a future software upgrade.

I came from a Telstra T9193 HD2 used in AT&T 3g network. Then "upgraded" (I must say downgraded!!!) to the Windows Phone 7 HTC Surround. Both phones have excellent audio with the loudspeaker in ringer mode or alarm clock. Being the HD2 louder (one speaker) compared to the Surround which have two speakers.

But the Vivid doesn't have half the audio output of any of the above.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Guess you've never used a Sammy before. Epic loud, very clear, and with DSP manager, you can kick the sound to a very very high dB without distortion.
[LG Optimus 3D] Audi2Audi:
Good Morning,

After flashing the Gingerbread Baseband I no longer am able to register on the network for my provider.

The device is from Rogers but unlocked and being used on the Bell network.

After flashing I realized there may be a different baseband for me to use in Canada (just North of Toronto).

I require some help in locating a Gingerbread baseband that would work or provide me with instructions on how to return to the original baseband.

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you kindly,

[LG Optimus 3D] MadCobbler:
If you're wanting to go back to stock froyo first you need to visit here to get your original rom... these will also flash the baseband back too

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246678

then you will need to follow this turtorial in order to flash the stock rom back on (go down to second post that one is in English :))

Although it is a possibility that the BB hasn't flashed correctly, might be worth trying it again... might also be worth trying a froyo rom to see if you get a signal then, because if you do you still have the froyo baseband on...

You can flash a .Bin File for Your P920 or P920H.
[LG Optimus 3D] Audi2Audi:
Ok, now this is getting bizarre hah.

I reflashed the baseband again and everything went normal as it did before.

This time I searched for networks and selected my provider. After about 5 minutes of the device trying to register on the network an error was received that said it was unable to register on this network.

However, when I got to my home screen I was registered on the network. I tested a voice call and it worked. I have tested data as well.

BUT! This is where it gets even more bizarre...The device cycles from 4 signal bars to 2 signal bars to none to 3G (from H) followed by not being registered on the network. Then a few minutes later (sometimes only after a reboot) it returns to 4 bars and begins the cycle again.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Thank you again for your help!
[LG Optimus 3D] teray0n:
Yes i have seen this with my install of the baseband file but it will not let me register the 3g or 3g+ let keeps me on full with gsm only its why i flashed mine back using the lg update tool software i put it right back to stock using similar way you flashed the baseband file. PS im on rogers as well

I've been runnin the unity rom for a couple of months now( i was) with no issues at all, when yesterday morning my phone turned off itself and i haven't been able to bring it back to life. i dont know if i have the bad chip, never cared to check but i regret it now lol... any sugestions would help.... also i have tried turning on w/o sim card with a different battery, also tried to get it to bootloader but it just wont turn on at all.. thanks in advance
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
Does the computer recognize it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
If you're talking about no power at all, it doesn't sound like a software issue. It sounds like an electrical issue.

If the screen backlight comes on when you hit the power button, then it could be software or electronic (borked chip, broken circuit board, etc)

Plugging it in, even if it's a dead phone, should still charge the battery if the electrical circuits are good. The LED will come on at orange or green and that should tell you if there is physically electricity running through the circuits.

If you get nothing, something in the phone died. I'm starting to realize the MT4G has a pretty poor build quality.

If the battery is charging and the backlight comes out, maybe a quick vibrate to indicate charging, then you could have some kind of an electrical short in the circuitry somewhere.

Or you just have a bad power button. That's a possibly. But that's odd that it turned itself off. That's what makes me think the power button itself isn't what's wrong.

In all cases it sounds dead. If you can't get to the recovery screen there's not much you can do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankgbacoa:
no the computer does not recognize..thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankgbacoa:
no led lights it just died lol... it wont do a thing. im starting to think that it has some kind of short between the battery and the circuit that distributes power through out the phone.. thats my best guess.thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
You can also check to make sure the battery isn't the problem by removing it and plugging the phone in. Again, the best you'll get is a brief flash of the backlight. But if you don't get that, you can be sure the battery itself isn't the problem.

Or just put a new battery in and see if that works.

This is highly unlikely to be the cause. But it's all about narrowing the possibilities. I've been fiddling with electronics for 20 years now. One thing I'm sure of is that you should never discount the really unlikely source of a problem. It won't usually be the answer, but every once in a while something you'd just never suspect ends up being the culprit.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
I had the exact same issue, earlier this year. Your emmc chip gave you the bird. Go into Tmobile store, tell then your phone won't turn on, you tried the normal tricks, but nothing works. Act a little dumb with them,I did that an got a new one under warranty for $5, came in the mail the days later. DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING BOUT YOUR PHONE BEING ROOTED. If you do, your gonna have to pay full price for a new one or though the issuance company a $130(or whatever your deductible is).

Trust me on this, it works. I'm still using the phone they sent to me back in June.

This guide is similar as for Android HTC's

0. You must have RUU executable file such as

and .nbd file like

1. Download Microsoft's Process Monitor and extract somewhere

2. Start Process Monitor and setup filers as follow:

3. Run RUU and see where the file it's extracted, in most cases it is SystemDriveLetter:\Users\YourUser\appdata\Local\Temp and the directory starts with the pf...

4. Browse to folder where you will find following files:

5. Copy the contect to other location for further usage

6. Replace RUU_signed.nbh with .nbh you have insted (don't forget to rename it to RUU_signed.nbh:D)

And thats all - installer does not see the phone!

Entering the bootloader displays a b&w phone connected to a pc - pc recognizes its as Omega and thats all... - any ideas?
[HTC Radar] jclubb:
I got a bit further. You have to power the phone on whilst holding down the Volume Up and Down button/s at the same time.

This takes you to a screen where you can Factory Reset etc. The PC will pick the phone up using the USB cable and you can follow your instructions above.

However, when I tried I get: ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID

I have a Orange UK branded phone, I have followed your instructions above. I will look for another RUU to test.

[HTC Desire S] qwerty2222:
OK so you have reverted to a stock ROM, which has worked - but the Revolutionary S-OFF has a kind of protection to stop RUUs rewriting the bootloader etc

Recovery appears like that because the RUU has changed something meaning ClockworkRecovery isn't working anymore (not too sure of the specifics). You should still be able to get past the red triangle by pressing power + vol up (or + vol down, I forgot).

You can reinstall Clockwork again using the S-OFF utility if you need to.

You need to follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16031365&postcount=4

The first part is vital as it removes the Revolutionary boot lock (or whatever its called).

hi there guys,

i wanted to know if there's a fix for the white balance issue when using the flast on the sgs2, as many users pointed out the photos tend to have a bluish / greeinish tint, i would say on the skin especially...

we know that the issue comes from the fact that the led produces a bluish/greenish tint in fact since that's the very "characteristic" of the LED, but it should be fixed via software, in fact some other guys suggested to take pics with flash, then go via software and change the color temperature, which indeed will work however is one more step to do.

if i do not use the flash photos look actually quite good for being a phone!

any brillian minds on this?

Hello everybody,

a rather odd thing happened to me: after the latest update to cm7-111107[unofficial] from genokolar I am not able to download most apps from the market (including Flash player and even Angry Birds!). It says the applications were not compatible with my device (U8800). But I had no problems with the versions before, as exactly the same apps installed just fine! I've checked both build.prop files and there are virtually no differences. Does anyone experience the same issue? And what reasons for incompatibility are there besides the device settings in the build.prop? Clearing the market data doesn't help. And I did a full wipe, cleared system, data and cache partition and dalvik cache...

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I found the key problem. At least for me it was... In the build.prop there is an option "qemu.sf.lcd_density" which I Set to 220. Back to 240 and everything is working fine again. Just a littlebit bigger. But you can change this after the installation of the desired programs. Never thought this entry was the reason. But anyway thanks for your answers to my question.
