[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartchilders:
My iPhone4 sent song info to my Pioneer x930 head unit (Pandora, iTunes) but the Note does not.

Although I haven't tried the stock music player app. I will!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartchilders:
Ok, the default music player does send song meta data. Cool.

The android Pandora app does not.

Can anyone tell me if the android Spotify app sends song metadata via BT?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
Yes- do you know what bitrate you are using?

It seems that the bitpool issue affects higher-bitrate files much more than lower ones, due to the total amount of bandwidth that could be sent via whatever the bitpool is.

Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me to see excellent performance with 128kbps and horrid with 320/flac etc.

See, I am awaiting shipment of my GNote and MW600 (which by all accounts is a great combo), and most of my music is at 192 kb/s

So I am very interested in this issue- what the 'cutoff' might be in terms of bitrate without stuttering.

;).

Otherwise I might need a completely separate library for my GNote (and I plan to have all 64 gigs of a microSDXC card used up for that purpose). Ouch.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkanyamba:
I'm using a MW600 headset and I find the audio quality to be at least decent. The source is MP3 files converted with latest LAME build at V4 from FLAC files. No complaints here (except a slight ungaplessness which may be caused by BT/A2DP and some background noise when using wired headphones with the headphone output).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
For what it's worth, supercurio has confirmed that the headphone hiss is caused by improper shielding within the device.

Awesome- a couple of questions:

1)Did you use any special settings (manually modifying cfg files, etc, as has been mentioned), to get A2DP working, or did you just disable phone mode and off you went?

2) Can you comment on the bitrate of your MP3s?

3) Have you tried using this combo with the latest version of PowerAMP?

If so, do the track names show up properly on the MW600?

(The reason being that AVRC 1.3 had only been implemented in a proprietary way by Samsung and was not natively supported in Gingerbread or Poweramp 2.0 last I checked)

Interesting idea- one of the main problems a lot of folks have with the stock player is that it sorts in ABC. Well according to this thread:http://androidforums.com/android-media/130766-sort-order-why-do-all-seemingly-music-player-apps-show-tracks-wrong-order-alphabetical.html if you title your tracks as 01- Name etc, they will sort properly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkanyamba:
MW600 and A2DP quality

Well, improper shielding or not, it still sucks to have it on any device, more so on a 600 € piece of technology... :(

As to your questions:

No special settings, using a stock ROM.

My files are encoded with LAME V4 from FLAC files, so the bitrate should be around 165 kbps.

I'm using the stock player. Now that I have some tens of albums on my device, all properly tagged, I'm finding it rather decent. It also sends the track names to the MW600 and AVRCP works just fine. As for the headset: the only thing that I've done with it was to power it up and pair it with the phone. I haven't touched any other Bluetooth settings on the phone.

As a side note, my files are all properly tagged and the folder structure is the following: Artist\(Year) Album\[Optional disc number]\Track number. Track name.mp3. The player has absolutely no problems going through an album in the right order, even if I do not have any playlists. So win/win. :)

I hope that helps. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
Hmm, I'm using the same setup now, and noticing a definite difference between the BT quality and just the phone (I just use the MW600 earbuds in the headphone jack to compare).

One more question though, slightly O/T- has anyone figured out how to answer/ place calls or use voice commands with the MW600 handsfree while using 'media' mode?

I'm sort of surprised that I'm having this many issues... otherwise I love the phone (that and the inherent screen problems)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkanyamba:
I haven't try that test yet, though I have to say that I'm not so inclined to do it. :)

Doesn't simply pressing the call button activate the phone stuff, including voice commands? It does with mine...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
I thought this was an issue with the GSII and Gnote in general, that pressing the call button DOES NOT wake the phone from sleep.

I commute everywhere via bike and was very disappointed when I realized that the phone could not be woken via media mode on the MW600.

Furthermore, it appears that I cannot take calls via media mode.

What gives?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkanyamba:
What is media mode?

Let me tell you again: with my phone, I simply paired the headset and everything worked as it should, including voice commands, wake up and stuff like that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I also use a A2DP based BT headset and I didnt find any of the issues mention, for the sound quality im not 100% sure since these are not highend headsets but they dont sound worse than the stock in-ear so Im guessing everything is working as it should.

[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
A breakdown of the boot.img bundling code:

mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk newramdisk.cpio.gz --cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 rw mem=128M console=ttyS2,115200n8 initrd=0x81600000,20M ramdisk_size=20480" --board omap4spd --base 0x756e0000 --ramdiskaddr 0x81600000 -o newboot.img

mkbootimg: This is just the command to use mkbootimg that packages the boot.img

--kernel zImage:This defines the file you want mkbootimg to use as your kernel.

--ramdisk newramdisk.cpio.gz: This defines the package you want to use as your ramdisk.

--cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 rw mem=128M console=ttyS2,115200n8 initrd=0x81600000,20M ramdisk_size=20480":

This part is specific to our device

and is taken from the kernel source. This is the part that was such a mystery :P

--board: This defines what board were installing our kernel too. This may or may not be needed. But I didnt test without this.

--base 0x756e0000: This defines the kernel base address.

This is also device specific

.

--ramdiskaddr 0x81600000: This defines the ramdisk base address.

This is also device specific

.

-o newboot.img: This tells mkbootimg what to name the output file, which in this case is "newboot.img" You can change this to whatever you want.
[LG Thrill 4G] tekahuna:
Thanks, good write up. I have a question. I'm on mac. I have mkbootimg from ICS sources, but I have no --ramdiskaddr option. Are you using a special mkbootimg?
[LG Thrill 4G] rdannar:
You can install run it through cygwin on windows and i think on a mac too. Thats what i use for my kitchen and tools...

Or you cab just make a 10 gig partition and run dual boot ubuntu... i do that too but actually use 20 gigs... it is much easier than virtual. I use cygwin the most unless its a heavy duty project.
[LG Thrill 4G] bzlmnop:

oh, and I'm going to be doing this on my HP 210 netbook with Linux on it. It's what I've compiled every kernel over in the Infuse forums and even Linuxbozo's CM7 Kang for myself before I moved to the Thrill.

Did you give mkbootimg executable permissions?

Also you might try

sudo cp [I]path_to_[/I]/mkbootimg /usr/bin
[LG Thrill 4G] bzlmnop:
I did make sure it had the proper permissions...

Will cp path move mkbootimg to /usr/bin?

Because right now its just in my boot-tools folder...

Either way I will try it when I get home...

Thanks.

Edit:

I tried copying it to /usr/bin.

Made sure permissions were correct.

Still nothing...

Edit #2:

Ok it might be working now...

how long should it take?

And will there be any result dialog?

Edit #3:

Nevermind, didnt work at all.

Have tried the entire process start to finish about 3 or 4 times now.

Still no success...

However i did find a typo in the OP "cd ~/boot-tools/boot-img.ramdisk" should be "boot.img-ramdisk"

Still everytime i try mkbootimg it says "bash: /usr/bin/mkbootimg: cannot execute binary file"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Aria check your PM
[LG Thrill 4G] bzlmnop:

Alright,

nevermind i guess.

I have given up.

i have read everything there is out there to read about using mkbootimg.

the closest i have gotten is using a root account and it gave me a usage message:

"usage: mkbootimg

--kernel <filename>

--ramdisk <filename>

[ --second <2ndbootloader-filename> ]

[ --cmdline <kernel-commandline> ]

[ --board <boardname> ]

[ --board <address> ]

-o | --output <filename>"

Nothing i can find or no one i have asked seems to have an answer.

im so mad right now, bc trying to develop and stuff was fun up to this point. Now it just completely blows.
[LG Thrill 4G] Echts:
Mkbooimg doesn't work for O3D or thrill, you need too use U-boots mkimage also when unpacking the boot.img you just remove the first 76 bytes not the first 2048 as you do with mkbootimg files
[LG Thrill 4G] bzlmnop:
Thank you Echts!

Ok i will try that and report back...

So, the guide in the OP is wrong then?

b/c the included .zip has mkbootimg in it...
[LG Thrill 4G] Echts:
haven't followed his guide to test exactly but has anyone gotten his way to work? Looks like the old way which I don't know anyone who has gotten to work.

O3D/Thrill use U-boot images afaik and mkimage works, I repack that way, it's how I put the overclock module tekahuna did in to the boot.img
[LG Thrill 4G] bedwa:
ok, I think I see the problem... I use another mkbootimg and the "file mkbootimg" command produces:

mkbootimg: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped

Whereas using CallMeAria's produces:

mkbootimg: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

The first one works for me but does not have the ramdiskaddr option. Are you using a 64bit system Aria?

Edit: or visa versa, not sure what I'm using on my HP210 Netbook. Just know it's XCFE xubuntu. Asked for it preinstalled.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bbbbqq:
Just got a few questions about doing this:

1. How does the SD card work, is it similar to how the samsung focus does it (shows up in zune as one big volume, cannot unmount, and it is tied to your phone) ?

2. Does the marketplace and apps downloaded from marketplace work ?

3. The buttons: HD2 has accept/home/windows/back/deny buttons; Does the home button become search, or does it re-map the buttons so it follows the order of back/windows/search ? What about the accept and deny buttons, do th ose still work in wp7 ?

4. SIM Unlocking: Let's say you have a T-Mobile HD2, and you unlock it to use on a different carrier. After all the rom stuff, android, wm, etc, does it stay unlocked through all of it ?

5. Dual/triple/quad/??? booting: Possible ?

6. Dev unlock: I can still sideload my stuff like a normal windows phone, right ?

[Nokia Lumia 800] robinVerdegaal:
Hardware issue(s): Three days into my new Lumia 800 I've experienced about a dozen total device freezes. The phone becomes unresponsive and the home, back and searchbuttons are dead too.

The problem is resolved when I use the screen off/on button.

I also have another problem, described in this thread. There seems to be a (large) part not secured inside the device. When shaking the device there's a distinct click/clack sound and you can feel the part moving around in the device.

I'm not sure if both issues are related, so I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced similar issues with the screen and touchbuttons going dead.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mexo100:
Same problem om Lumia 800

Hi, I have exactly same problem, with my new Nokia, it started behaving like that first time I started the phone. It is either HW or Windows Phone OS. I have retured it to nokia immediately, they have said there is no problem with phone?!?, they will hopefully install new firewire or OS or whatever and hopefully it will work when i get it. I suggest you that you return the phone that is not acceptable behaviour it should just work without any hacks.

Otherwise buy an Iphone or other more stabile phone, it seams that Win Phone is at least two years behind other phone OS....
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
Everybody can get a phone made on a Monday. Regardless of what OS it uses. Top me WP is more stable than both iOS and most definitely Android.

Maybe it will be fixed with new firmware. Don't know. But I would return it to where you bought it right away and walk away with a new one.

Here's the changelog for the newest 12070 firmware:

The new Lumia 800 update brings the following enhancements:

• Enhanced battery standby and talk time performance

• Battery capacity icon instead of question mark on top right of screen

• Improved bass in audio performance

• Soft-key illumination at all brightness levels

• Fixes for device performance issues including self-reboots, freezes and call-ending

But I would return it anyway and get a new one.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mexo100:
Hi

I live in Sweden too, and the phone is ordered online. If you open the phone from originally package you do not have right to return it(according to sucky Vendor), but according to the consumers right office I have the right to return the Phone get new or replacement. I have been in conflict with this vendor for 8 weeks now, as I do not get any respond from them about the phone.

Problem is with Lumia 800 from the start it should work directly. I could use that money I bought the phone and invested in something else for this 8 weeks.

I have had several android phones and hadn't have problem. My friend have IPhone, no problems there. That is my experience.

When I google for Nokia Lumia I see a lot of people complaining, and a lot of problems, and about stability I do not agree as Win Phone has not so many features as Android it should be more stable and it is not according to the all forums I visited.

But still that is my opinion and my experience.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
We all have different experiences.

I come from Android and it always was a force close fest for me no matter what phone I had. Not very stable. iPhone I have never owned but according to surveys iPhone apps force close even more than Android app. And other serveys tells that WP owners are among the happiest of phone users. But let's forget about this for a while.

What vendor did you purchase from? I would consider making a post to www.fairshopping.se and let the company answer. Usually they want to answer inqueries there as it may make them look bad otherwise. Always worth a shot I have seen many people getting positive results after posting on that site.

[Droid X General] Rocheforte:
Hey everyone!

I'm from over on the HTC Hero forums and looking for an upgrade in the near future. I'm currently on C Spire and am not particularly interested in the iPhone 4s or Galaxy Showcase, so this leaves the Milestone X as the main contender for me. Just a few questions come to mind:

1. I noticed there was a recent OTA Gingerbread release, and there may be an issue getting root with it. Is this still a problem or did the issue get resolved?

2. Probably the most important: Would you really recommend the phone as an upgrade or consider something on another carrier with all the new dual core and likely soon to be quad core phones? My main selling point is that the Milestone X is currently free with a 2 year agreement and I wouldn't have to switch carriers.

My only other consideration is to go with the Amaze 4G on T-Mobile (ATT is too expensive and has horrendous customer service, Verizon is too expensive, and Sprint has pretty lousy coverage in MS). The Amaze is also the only phone in their current lineup besides the GS2 which supports their 42+ mbps band.

Anyways, thanks for the read and I hope to hear from you guys soon.
[Droid X General] ngholson:
Milestone X is a great phone, you are wise to avoid the showcase.

to answer your questions:

1. Yes there is an update, yes it can be rooted very easily. DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip

2. well i already answered that one... The milestone x is hands down the best phone at cspire currently.
[Droid X General] Rocheforte:
Thanks for the reply! I just may consider picking up one soon. How's the battery life on it with CM7/Liberty?
[Droid X General] ngholson:
i haven't loaded a new rom so i can't say how the battery life is on those roms, but i can tell you that the stock 2.3.5 is very smooth, snappy and the battery life is superior to my old hero. (just got my milestoneX 2 weeks ago, figures that they would make them free now).

EDIT: correction, 2.3.5 is not what comes preloaded. but there is an OTA update ready for download once you get it. only peice of advice i can give you if you want the ota is don't install cwm before you install the OTA.
[Droid X General] Rocheforte:
Awesome! I just picked mine up yesterday and after the ota, I'm really pleased with performance and battery life. I'll likely root it soon to do away with the junk preinstalled applications.

[Droid X General] chrisaln:
Not to hijack the thread, but my wife and I both traded in our CSpire Heros for the Milestone X yesterday. They have 2.2.2 on them, and neither will get the OTA update. It just keeps saying they are up to date. Any clue why this could be happening?
[Droid X General] Rocheforte:
I'm having the same issue with my 2nd Milestone X that I just picked up. I contacted support, and they suggested to bring it into a store to install it there. If updating the phone to 2.3 doesn't fix its wifi problems, though, I'll likely be switching it out for another one.
[Droid X General] chrisaln:
My dad picked up another Milestone today for himself and is having the same issue with the update. The customer service person I spoke to last night told me that it's likely because the OTA update is being released in a "staggered fashion" to "prevent serve overload." I get the concept, but the update has been out for a month now, and nobody else was having any problem getting it until recently, from what I can tell.

If you have any luck getting them to do the upgrade in the store, let me know. The person I spoke to said they charge $15 to do an upgrade in-store, though, which I refuse to pay just because their normal upgrade method is broken.
[Droid X General] ngholson:
try downloading this and rename it update.zip, place it in the root of your sd-card, boot stock recovery and select the update.zip from the sdcard. i have been told that it will work. it is the ota download from cspire.
[Droid X General] Rocheforte:
I went into the store and informed them that the phone wasn't receiving the update, they swapped mine with one that had 2.3 preinstalled, no hassle and no restocking fee. I would definitely contest the fee as much as possible, especially when they aren't providing any other way to officially update the phone other than over the air.
[Droid X General] chrisaln:
Thanks for the tip. Fortunately I won't be needing it, as the OTA update finally worked for me a couple of hours ago. Now I just have to reroot and I'm good to go!
