[HTC Desire S] GelullaBarr:
hi, i have a desire s from june, this year, and I constantly looking for something, hardware, software, new rom, to increase speaker volume wich is realy low. when I'm outside and I want to listen something on youtube or my phone ring, it's very low sound, very low, there is any solution to increase speaker volume, media volume? I don't trust that little software on the market, because they are for headset, or just for music,mp3,etc, I want something for ringer and video, thank you
[HTC Desire S] Neoload:
I think nothing is good for Change the loudness from your speaker.... Maybe with the cyanogenmod you can Change your equalizer

My english is not the best i m from germany but itry the best
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
use volume+

check the android market for this app.

this app really rocks! It increases the sound of your external speakers. There's an option to chose on how loud would you want it to be. Be careful though, because it might bust your speakers!. 6 is loud enough and I think is just right without damaging your speakers.

Not sure though on it's rom compatibility. I'm currently on Endymion 3.0 and it works fine here. Also, I was able to test it on MIUI rom and it works flawlessly :)
[HTC Desire S] GelullaBarr:
Thank you guys for the answers, I arleady have volume+ splication, the free one with 4 level, but noting louder for my speaker and I tryed few roms till now , so I i guess I'm to exigent
[HTC Desire S] gr8guzzler:
I use the equaliser app and it definitely increases the volume by a fair bit. Try it.

What's up peeps. As the title states Im in a bit of a bind here. I need someone with more knowledge than myself to help me finish my port. The rom itself boots and runs and can be used as a daily right now but there are 2 big issues. The other 2 or smaller and can come later on. The main issue is the camera and the next is youtube.

I just dropped my phone and the screen has come completely out of its housing. The phone still powers up, but the screen does not work at all. My question is, is it possible with a rooted phone(which mine is) to make a backup through clockworkmod without the screen on? Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Sure,

-With the phone off, hold the volume down button and press the power button till it turns on (1-2 sec). This brings up your HBOOT screen (or would if it was on).

-Wait for 15 seconds (this allows it to check for the PBIMG that should NOT be on your SD)

-Press the volume down button once then the power button once (this selects RECOVERY and reboots into it).

-Wait 20 seconds (gives time to bring up recovery menu)

-Press volume down 5 times then power once (selects "backup and restore")

-Press power button again (selects "backup")

-Leave phone for AT LEAST 10 minutes.

-Pull your SD and see if there is a backup file in your clockwork/ folder with the current date on it. BAM, you got your backup.

Let me know if that works for you:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] valorian13:
Are you able to see anything on your display or is the touchscreen portion not working?

If the screen does not work at all (no video) you are SOL. To do what TheAtheistReverend suggested you have to have video on the display.

I found a backup from MIUI which was really all I needed. Thanks for the help though, hopefully it will help someone else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogk-slay:
I would like to make the notifications stay on my status bar until I actually read the SMS or the e-mail. There are times where I don't have time to read a long e-mail or answer a test at that instant but I would like to be reminded to read it later by leaving the notification on the status bar.

As soon as I open the SMS app or the e-mail or gmail app, the notification goes away.

For bonus points: any way to have the number of unread messages next to the icon in the menu? I found one way to do it for sms but it's a widget and I prefer having my icons on a dock.

Why open the SMS app if you're not going to read it?

Anyway, use GoLauncher or LauncherPro or Launcher 7 if you want a little number next to the SMS app to tell you how many unread messages are present. You can't get this for Gmail because Google axed the API, and you won't find it for Google Voice either as far as I know.

Can somebody help me? I think i may have bricked my phone while trying to flash the latest version of minicm7. I've done everything the tutorial says, including unlocking my bootloader and flashing the kernel, but the phone got stuck in the sony ericsson word screen (not the logo screen). I've tried Pc companion with the repair thing but for some reason, it doesn't work. I've gotten pass the part where you have to select your phone model, but when it comes to the downloading part, it says "no software available", and in smaller print below it says "there is no software available for your phone yet, please try again later". And btw, i can't boot into xrecovery, so restoring using xrecovery is not an option.:(

Carrier IQ: How the Widespread Rootkit Can Track Everything on Your Phone, and How to Remove It

Thanks to developer Trevor Eckhart for shedding light on this invasion of privacy. Lifehacker has helped to list different means of removing CIQ, and Eckhart has posted a very helpful video explaining the topic:

[YOUTUBE]T17XQI_AYNo[/YOUTUBE]

Removing Carrier IQ

1) Root your device (see Android Development section)

2) Download Logging Test App (v7 as of this post)

3) Purchase Logging TestApp Pro Key - ROOT from the Market.

4) Open the app > Menu > Remove CIQ

Bummer... I reboot and CIQ comes back... I have had too many beers or our weak temp root isn't making the grade. :eek:

EDIT: It does indeed come back after a reboot with temp root.... so just root again and remove it again. If your data connection dies just turn off the mobile network and back on again. Just don't reboot this time. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] envygreen:
Can you clarify on the "If your data connection dies"? I use my phone for work, and I can't be walking around with a dead phone for hours or be bothered to check it every ten minutes to confirm that it's still alive. On the other hand, I feel completely exposed with CIQ watching me enter every password and send every message, work or personal.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dbaser:
For me the data connection died after I disabled CIQ with TreVe's $1 tool. All I did was turn off mobile network and then back on in quick settings. Only had to do it once. YMMV.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] envygreen:
Thanks for the info and the quick response. I'm going to give it a shot. I'd seen the removal app from Treve, but wasn't sure it would work and I've had less than stellar luck with the temp root tool, but haven't had much time to tinker since I picked it up. CIQ has kinda lit a fire under me though.

Does anyone else have issues with the WiFi connection while the screen is turned off? I noticed that not a single one of my music streaming / radio apps work when the screen isn't on. It works for maybe a minute before all sound just stops. Starts just fine again once I power up the screen.

Has there been any changes done to the handling of these matters in ICS perhaps?

Pretty annoying not being able to stream music over WiFi as I think I'll hit my 5GB limit on data pretty fast if I can't use the WiFi at work for this.

So has anyone else noticed these issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RTContent:
Yeah same here. I remember this being an issue with Android 2.1 for my Desire but was fixed in custom roms. Might be the same situation here again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
I remember this being an issue with my Nexus One, don't remember if it was fixed in 2.2 or 2.3. I remember testing file transfer using SwiFTP, with the bug the file transfer would go down to double digits (kB/sec), with the bug fix it would be a few hundred kB/sec, with the screen on it would hit mB/sec or so (in any Android version).

I believe this is the official issue:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9781

With my Nexus S I'm not experiencing this bug. Sscreen on still gives me a major wifi speed boost, but screen off I get a few hundred kB/sec, which should be more than enough for any streaming app. KiloBYTES btw, not bits. I'm surprised ICS and/or Galaxy Nexus brought this problem back. Or it could be something else entirely.

Are you connected via 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi? I would think the new 5GHz radio in the GN probably has more aggressive power saving features. Try switching to 802.11b/g (instead of 802.11n, in any frequency), see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Brandon3003:
Have you changed your WIFI sleep policy?

On my Froyo phone, if you hit menu while in the WIFI settings (I know there is no menu in ICS) you get an option to go into advanced settings where you have the option to choose your WiFi sleep policy (When screen turns off, never when plugged in, never).

There should be a way to access that advanced settings area somewhere.. My phone is a couple hundred miles away right now and I won't see it for another week so I can't be of much further help right now. However, there "was" a setting in previous versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbrinkley:
best info at the time last year was here for the N1

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=01a47ff5b0a92d52&hl=en

7xx replies there to read, but really good info. somewhere in there, maybe around#600 the info gets good, can't remember. But shortly around this time the problem was gone/fixed.

there was a guy with an app i think it was wifi fixer, i could be wrong. that worked sometimes, but battery drain was bad. Whatever google, or CM did fixed the low power save mode issue. I'm thinking it was something at the kernel level?

edit, on second thought, there's no good reason to read all that. You won't get a fix out of it anyway. It was updated away in the end, something related to MAC addresses and build numbers and frf50 or some such.

BUT this seems like the same kind of thing going on in the power save mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neville.Holland:
Have you checked your advanced settings?

Wi-Fi>>(settings [bottom right])>>Advanced>>Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I would suggest that this issue is related to the individual applications you are using, rather than anything to do with Android.

I am able to stream music from Google Music via WiFi just fine when the screen is off, and I am also able to talk to someone on Skype via WiFi just fine when the screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Thanks for posting that; I was getting pretty worried and disappointed after reading this thread. I had to deal with this when I first got my Nexus One, until Google released the 2.2.1 update with a new Broadcom driver which finally fixed the issue. No streaming, no pushes, just nothing at all from wifi when the phone went to sleep. All traffic to/from the phone would just stop. It was maddening.

The Galaxy Nexus comes to Canada a week from today, and this would've been a show-stopper for me. At least it's working for you, so my day isn't ruined quite yet :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlum:
Has this issue ever been nailed down? I've seen considerable discussion on it going back years. I've seen considerable speculation regarding WIFI mode and Governor. I've seem many of the bug reports marked closed.

Yet I have a GN on v4.0.4 and the moment the screen goes off - either because you turn it off or it just times out - the WIFI goes to h*ll. I've run ping and network trace from both sides and there is no doubt the WIFI stays connected, however latency goes way up and packets are lost... and with TCP connections it gets congested with retransmits. I've run with the governor set to "Performance" and there is no difference.

So, is there any consensus on what is causing this problem with current stock hardware/software?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
I read that it's something that's been coded in for a while. Try using this:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlum:
Ok, to answer my own question, this is still related to the PSP issue from years ago:

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9781

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15549

Bottom line is that some hardware - like GN - has an additional level of PSP on WIFI. The issue was resolved by inclusion of an additional lock mode - WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF - some time ago. However, its up to an application to request the new lock state if it thinks it needs it. Many don't.

So, its probably not a bad idea to contact developers of the various applications and recommend they look into the new lock level in the later APIs.

Also, the "WIFI High Performance Widget" can be used to manually hold a WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF lock on the WIFI if you're dealing with an application that isn't doing it its self. Beware of the other "WIFI fixes" out there, none of the ones I tested were acquiring the correct lock.

Also, from an adb shell you can use "dumpsys wifi" to see who is holding what lock, for example:

Locks acquired: 5 full, 5 full high perf, 5 scan
Locks released: 4 full, 4 full high perf, 5 scan

Locks held:
WifiLock{PANDORA type=1 binder=android.os.BinderProxy@419e5e28}
WifiLock{HighPerformance type=3 binder=android.os.BinderProxy@418d6220}

Here you can see Pandora is only holding type=1 (WIFI_MODE_FULL) and HighPerformance is holding type=3 (WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF). Dumping the WIFI state takes the guess work out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeep364:
Tried that widget, having absolutely no luck with 'in tune' and 'winamp' for radio with the galaxy nexus verizon...

as soon as the device sleeps, wifi goes to hell and buffer drops in and out every 2 seconds. Completely unusable, any recent fixes? this is totally making me think I just bought a $400 brick since this feature was very important for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlum:
What may be confusing about that widget is that it is a "widget". You have to locate it under "widgets" and then put it on the surface and then click it to enable it... it should be blue when on, and black when its not.
