[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
yes that's the problem.

I'm in a lexus is350 awd ..

I assume that the AUX in for some reason doesn't run through the car's amplifier ??
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
So you can confirm that the sound is just as good as the headphone out? I have been on the fence about getting a dock, i have an older Pioneer deck & its sound is grate with the headphone jack.

also does any one know of a way to get voodoo with the dock, or is that just imposable?
[Epic 4G General] luna_c666:
According to supercurio, at least regarding my transformer, it is all about the headphone jack hardware that is why bt output does not get voodoo controls on og transformer, i assume the same is true with epic..
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
It definitely runs through the amplifier, however it is probably calibrated for a headphone output and not a Line-Out output. The only time I have experienced the "tinny" sound is if I hook up headphones to the dock.

As I said, on my system there is little difference.. Granted, the speakers I have are not exactly high-end, they are aftermarket and better than most stock speakers.

I have confirmed this by testing the dock on my Monitors. Volume and sound is very close. On my monitors the dock is a bit louder, not quite as clear with a bit too much midbass and over-emphasized highs - slightly compressed sounding. Lower bass levels are nearly identical.

I do not notice this in my car whatsoever. But my monitors cost 5x as much as the component set in my car, so that is expected.

As far as I know there is no way to use Voodoo Sound with the dock.
[Epic 4G General] haas599:
I have the CleanGB ROM installed and use the stock car dock. I get perfect audio output to my car stereo using a 3.5mm mic -to- RCA cord.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
reallyyyyy and lots of bass? stock car stereo ??
[Epic 4G General] TechnoGeezer:
Stock Epic / stock stereo

I have (almost) completely stock Epic (only non-rooted GPS_Fix.zip) and stock stereo (Lexus ES350) and Samsung Car Dock. I use the Dock Sound Redirect app from the Market to direct sound from E4G thru USB to dock stereo phone jack to Aux in on car stereo. The overall sound is fine; not the same as a high-end home stereo but as good as the car stereo & CD. The volume is slightly lower due to non-amped input. Nav audio also runs through this route. Perhaps the issue is stock vs CM7? The Sammy Car Dock works fine for me with the Sound Redirect app.
[Epic 4G General] rsage:
J3ff, I feel your pain. I bought the Epic shortly after it came out, and the car dock about a year ago. There's a world of difference in audio quality between the headphone jack and the USB audio output that the dock uses. I've used the dock on Froyo, Gingerbread, stock and custom ROM's, it doesn't matter. Haven't tried Shadow kernel on CM7 yet.

The problem becomes even more apparent if you're using something like Voodoo Sound, which affects the headphone jack output but not the USB audio output. I believe Voodoo (and probably DSP Manager, etc., but I can't confirm that) affect the audio on the DAC on the headphone jack, but since the process of converting audio for the USB output is different (and it's not using the Wolfson WM8994 as far as I know)...

I ended up reverting to a $5 cheapo generic car dock that attaches to an A/C vent so I could still use the headphone jack for audio output :mad:
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Just flip the dock upside down. ;)
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
The difference is no bass in my car. Like absolutely NONE. I listen to Bob Marley and the nice deep bass tempo beat is not there. Are you saying you would have it?
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
It's so amazing that they make such a device, it's ALMOST perfect, but they just can't ever get it 100% right.

I mean I even ran it through it's own amp (installed after the dock out and before the car in) and it sounded awesome.....till all the static hissing showed up.
[Epic 4G General] darklichny:
interesting...

Because my stupid obd/vehicle info is tied into my damn radio...

(and unless i wanna spend $800 for a data module)

I'm stuck with the stock radio....

but I found this:

http://www.amazon.com/Soundfly-Ultimate-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Charger/dp/B001DDE4VY

Im much happier now...
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
FM transmitters aren't good enough for me...

What I did find that is good enough for me for the moment..and is FREE

"Settings Profile Lite"

From the market.

So I've got the Bluetooth blackberry gateway in the car (it's better than FM, not as perfect as hard wire, but it's good enough)..

After finding this awesome free app here's what happens.

I walk out to my car the car, turn car on

Drop phone in dock

Wallpaper changes to the one I want in the car

Slacker launches (or whatever you want to use for music)

wifi turns off

bluetooth turns on

all sounds but music are turned off

speaker phone is auto turned on when a call comes in.

Going to use it like this for a week and see how it goes

Take it out of the dock..and everything goes back to being a phone.

Now if only that damn dock audio out would put NORMAL sound out, it'd be perfect! But this is good enough!

Btw the deskdock looks pretty damn sleek in the ash try on this car :)
[Epic 4G General] bmasephol:
I have a feeling that maybe stock kernel vs a modified kernel makes a difference. I haven't had time to test it though. I've torn down the epic desk dock and it really isn't that interesting inside. No "audio guts" going on in there... it is just pass through from the ubs on the phone.

I've also posted some of the pictures and other informaiton I could dig up over in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980808&page=2
[Epic 4G General] bmasephol:
Ok so I've just confirmed my suspicion. I flashed stock EL30 to get upgraded. I am running stock EL30 kernel and just tested the audio out on the dock and of course it sounds 100% better with better bass and no tinny sound.

If this is the case how do we get this fixed in custom kernels?
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Ok, so you're saying EL30 solves the problem....... what are you plugging into the dock? Can you take a set of head phones, plug them directly into the dock and see if it still sounds good?

Sigh......... I'm going to forward this info to one of the devs!
[Epic 4G General] dzl:
really hope the new stuff in EL30 isn't bypassing the Wolfson chip. if it is, think I might have to take a drill bit to the dock and make a custom 3.5in hookup.
[Epic 4G General] TechnoGeezer:
Yes, full bass, full spectrum; I confess I don't listen to music from the Epic in the car all the time but I have a good collection on it (symphonic, jazz & rock) and listen on longer trips rather than my commute. I'll check it again tomorrow
[Epic 4G General] bmasephol:
I may have spoke too soon and got everybody's hopes up. At work this morning it is back to sounding terrible. I plugged in the power and I get hissing and static. Unplugging that I get tinny, no bass, and a lot quieter music. Push pause and plug headphones into the headphone jack and unpause... sounds a 100x better.

I'm going to rip the dock apart tonight and try again. I did my tests last night with the dock torn apart.

I'll update later.
[Epic 4G General] rprockey:
I'm also running CM7 + ShadowKernel. I don't have a nice car audio system but it sounds ok to me. Hardware wise, I have the Samsung car dock and a cassette adapter. I use Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector, with all options enabled.

I was wondering if the OP uses the "Maximize volume when docked" option. I think this is important. When using aux in, or the cassette adapter, in any car I've found it sounds best it the device, be it an ipod or phone, is at max volume.
[Epic 4G General] TechnoGeezer:
OK, so I tried it out again this am and rediscovered why I don't use it much. The quality of music is fine, as I said full tonal & frequency spectrum at a slightly reduced vol (~50% of FM or CD vol). The prob is extraneous noise from the dock, which is painfully obvious during quiet passages. It is not present when plugged directly into phone jack (audio out from E4G to car stereo Aux In). I didn't try that combo with the charger plugged in but I don't believe it makes a diff. The noise appears to correlate with E4G CPU activity. Wish Samsung had just made a dock with (1) phone holder, (2) USB charging port & (3) access to audio out. DONE. Not too difficult, right?
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
That sounds like a grounding issue to me, did you have the charger plugged in while using the dock?

Again, I don't have any of the issues mentioned in this thread, the sound quality on the dock is slightly worse and louder than direct but the ease of use outweighs the quality difference (especially since I can't tell in my car, only on my monitors). I tested it with all types of music - Classical, Jazz, Electronica, Ambient, Metal, Folk, Post-rock.

I wonder if there were some bad batches of these docks.

And I agree, the dock should have just plugged into the USB and the headphone jack... That would have eliminated a lot of headache. Even now the call audio won't route through the Line-Out. :(
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
well now that CM9 is out........ I guess it'll be the same story..
[Epic 4G General] TechnoGeezer:
I need to test that. The USB noise is present with phone in car dock with charger connected but not when run through audio out phone jack, but I only tested that today with the phone off of the charger. It could be grounding; I'll test that tomorrow. ICS could make this all even more interesting (or complicated).
[Epic 4G General] TechnoGeezer:
More complicated

OK, so I checked it out today more carefully and the story is ... unclear. There are at least two sources of noise in the system. The first and least annoying is a varying high pitched "whistle" that appears to be interference from the motor because the pitch correlates with engine rpm's. This is evident only at very high volumes on the car stereo (>50 of 63 max) and can be heard with Aux selected but without anything playing (null input) and without E4G in dock. BTW, the stereo is the stock Lexus ES350 (2008), which I don't think is as good as my '95 ES300. I've heard others complain, but it's not horrible. The second source of noise is a scratchy sound that is evident at lower volumes, is intermitent and doesn't correlate with anything, except that E4G must be connected to charger, through dock or directly. This could be a ground problem. It was annoying this morning but I couldn't reproduce it this evening. Go figure. The equalization level of the recordings are important as are the overall dynamic ranges of the recordings. Rock, louder jazz, etc. won't drop to the silence levels that occur often in classical music so the noise is less bothersome. Some recordings have a higher overall or max EQ and thus the volume setting required on the stereo can be much lower, thus reducing the noise. In any case, it pisses me off that the sound is compromised (sometimes). Any suggestions for the grounding possbility? The charger is the Sammy unit that came with the dock. Tried it in the aux charger and the cig lighter. Both had noise this am, neither this pm. Sorry for the encyclopedia.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Sup, you need a ground loop isolator, this is true in any vehicle/car/boat/train/plane..

Certain cars/trains/boats/planes have this built in :)
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
To rule out the input power on the phone/dock. Try hooking the charger up to a 12 volt battery not the lighter plug. If the cars DC power is fubar your going to need a better fillter on the input to the phone/dock & or the cars radio

Just left the att store. There is apparently a DSC (device support center) about 10 miles from here and they'll just replace the phone on the spot. Hopefully they won't say anything about the 'unlocked' text.

Let you know what happens
[Atrix 4G General] CSharpHeaven:
In recovery mode wipe the cache then factory reset. Don't restart the system. Pull the battery out and place it back without touching the power button, it might happen when putting the battery cover back on.

Reflash the desire. sbf file as you normally do with the latest version of MotoHelper and RsdLite program that you can find. Make sure your battery have enough charge for next flash attempt.

The above instructions are what I would do in your circumstances. Please make sure the. sbf is exactly same version as what is on your handset. If the flashing .sbf has higher version then it will be safe.

Good Luck!
[Atrix 4G General] razorseal:
Ok got it running at the att store and was able to download GPS status and i compared the performance to the xoom's GPS status. He saw how the GPS just couldn't lock on so he said hell swap it out for me. Waiting on the replacement now

Got a new phone. GPS works. Gonna have to sbf again for Unlock and pre root now. Hopefully this one will work out. Lol...

Is there a way to Unlock and root without sbf??

Good to hear that. Please make sure you will read the following thread once you got your new Atrix. I get GPS lock in the UK within seconds. I even managed to get GPS lock indoors. A must for every handset really.

Just flash the non OC kernel and you have cwm without overclocking. Runs like stock kernel.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5pace:
Hey guys!

This is my first CWM flashable zip, so I thought it should be on some fix. Here's what it does; as many of you must be annoyed with the NOTIFICATION-LED-ENABLED-WHILE-CHARGING feature in MIUI. So what it does is that, it edits the "build.prop" in "/system/" and replaces the default line:

persist.sys.charge_led=white

With:

persist.sys.charge_led=off

Which makes the LED not to glow while charging. It is not tested on any phone so please make a NANDROID BACKUP before flashing, so in case anything goes wrong, you have something to rely upon. It only works with MIUI.US version, if you want it for any other, upload your build.prop here and I'll take a look into it.

Steps:

1. Boot into CWM recovery.

2. Mount "/system" in Mounts and storage option.

3. Flash the attached zip from sdcard.

4. Reboot!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] br0adband:
So a guy I know has this "busted" Motorola Droid, the original model, with an apparently shattered glass/digitizer that I'd need to replace (as I understand it the LCD is fine), and while I'm a huge fan of getting myself yet another HTC HD2 and working with it, since this is gonna be a complete freebee I figured I'll do some experiments with it.

Is the original Droid still useful for many people, since it came out well over 2 years ago? I am not expecting ICS on it (although I see a few people making claims they're working on it), and with the low end specs - compared to today's high end "pocket rockets" with dual cores and 3x the speed or more, I figure I'll end up using the Droid (after I get it functional again) as a PMP actually; a makeshift "Droid touch" of sorts (iPod touch pun) since I don't plan on using it as an actual cellphone anytime soon. Already have 2 phones with NET10 and I can't do anything to the Droid to flash it and make it compatible so... it's basically going to be a PMP for me.

I'm guessing if I can get Android 2.3 on it then I should be able to run all the apps that I've used with my HTC HD2 in the past running Gingerbread, shouldn't be any issues aside from them just running slower overall because of the Droid's far slower clock speed.

I'm sure overclocking is a potential but I need to do a lot more research to see what's possible there without causing damage to the device. Just because it's free doesn't mean I have intentions on destroying the damned thing. :)

Just wanted to ask if other people still have their Droid 1st gen and what they're using them for if anyone cares to say. Also, what kinds of cases, docks, accessories might you be using, especially with battery life too and any recommendations for something with more capacity/time available.

Thanks, and have fun, always...

I rooted using the method here: [04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) - xda-developers

I was a Samsung Fascinate owner so this is not my first time rooting. Last night I purchased a video from the market and could not watch it bc I was rooted. Instead of downloading the apk which is supposed to work around this, I decided I would rather unroot. My purpose for rooting was to use free wifi tether which I hadn't gotten to work anyway.

So I used the unroot method found above and it does restart my phone but the Superuser app is still in my app drawer. I tried unrooting twice more: didn't work. So I tried to root again using the above process but unlike my first time where I received a conformation message, I received nothing and the cmd prompt actually closed.

Now, I have the superuser app in the drawer. I tried to use screenshot & a wifi tether app. They both told me I needed to be rooted to use them. I downloaded Linda file manager and looked in the system/apps and did not see superuser.apk there.

I found this and tried it as well: How to Unroot Droid Razr! | DroidRazrRoot.com. It did not help. At this point, I have no idea what to do.
