[Acer Iconia A500] caremd99:
I did and I agree this is a fix if you want to use recorder, Skype, talk, tango, etc. But I also learned to forget using the video camera UNLESS you have it using the rear camera (this is one you use by default when you Skype). Looks like it uses the microphone that points in the direction of the active camera.

So I would suspect the noise cancelling algorithm settings are to blame for poor sound recordings.
[Acer Iconia A500] tourist2:
I solve this issue by using my stereo earphone with mic that came with my Nokia phone. I have tried a bluetooth stereo headset with mic and another wired earbuds with mic, there was either still a lot of noise or the sound level was very low. Basically, it is the same as using a headset. Finally I found one earphone with mic that works well. I actually have two of the same earbuds from 2 identical Nokia 5230. I tested them on two Iconia A500 with voice chat and video chat, it works very well both ways. I have also tried to turned off the Dolby Mobile as suggested by someone. It actually makes it worse and the sound level went down a lot.

acer a501 microphone fix

hi all

today i finally got to the bottom of the microphone issue

versions 3.x had some issues with the mic that cant be fixed - tried different internal and external mics but no good - i thought it was a hardware issue

and not able to solve but after ota update of ics the external mic is perfect - crystal clear and no noise and heaps of level.

the internal mic is crap so i decided to change the microphone with anything i could find - it has to be electret mic.

I had a few lying around and some worked well and some did not - i eventually found one that worked really well will heaps of level - the

only prob was that it was twice the size of the original.

i had to cut some of the plastic away but eventually got it installed.

The internal mic works great now - much better than the muffled one that came with the unit.

I left the second mic connected as it seems to make no difference in or out.

So what i have found -

firmware on 3.x no good for mic

ics makes mic work well if you use exeternal.

internal mic - get rid of it as it is useless.

hope this helps someone as i spent lots of time trying to fix this
[Acer Iconia A500] the_hurricane_master:
OK but...

HoneyComb 3.2 disconnected the rear microphone, Resulted in Better Quality without helicopter noise specially better for skype Etc.

Video recording still Just hardly acceptable. but quality is still bad.

Wont buy from acer anymore.

Hi

On this ROM (GingerMod 2.3.6 #10) the dev has removed live wallpapers, anyone know the process to get them to be available again?

Cheers :confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfc024:
Heres my info and problem. Thanks in advance for the help!

ROM: jokersax11's cm9 build with gapps

Kernel: (Faux123' 1.45 GHz OC CM9 kernel)

Metods used to flash the rom:

full battery

cache format

delvik format

fastboot wipe (dah whole shabang)

flashed rom

reboot

flased gapps

erase batt. stats

Problems you are experiencing: Alright so I flashed your rom 2 days ago then when the battery was almost out I plugged it in my computer, naturally. The next morning it was at 95% so I decided that I was going to drain my battery all the way before charging it. The problem is that when I plugged it in the wall, the phone started bootlooping but wouldn't get past the M logo (not actually M logo on my phone but you know..). Then I think it overheated because it started giving the message: modem did not power up (2), starting RSD protocol support, battery is too low to flash. Then I let it cool and now its bootlooping agin.. :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masterguy:
you should never flash a ROM when battery is below 30%.

I guess there was one other thread where the OP encountered the same problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529720

You can try to see if that works.

Make sure you have the latest recovery. I got stuck in boot loop during my first flash due to old version of CWM. Try ROMRACERS CWM. You can serach through!

After searching the world wide web I came across citech in China, now the phones they do are rather like apples design but with android on, now thing is with there being so many on the website which one would be the best as I want it to have metal body 3g and good spec. What do you think I thought the iphone4 design with 3g think its the 3rd one on the list. Iam not gonna give links as its a copy of a apple design iam sure you can Google it your self to see what I mean.
[Android General] Rashkae:
Cheap flimsy crud with a mediocre screen. I come across these all the time when I'm in China.

Plus, how sure are you that they didn't install something "extra" in their ROM to capture your credentials? I don't quite trust Chinese-made ROMs.
[Android General] zelendel:
Just beware as half the time with these types of phone the hardware listed is seldom what is really there. Just reprogrammed to show up as something its not. Also those version of android tend not to be official versions so tend not to work with the market and other things.

And the poster above has a point. The Chinese government has been known to do this as all communications are monitored
[Android General] spunker88:
Do you have a link?

It might look like the iPhone in the picture, but the actual phone could have really poor hardware. We're talking resistive touch, low amount of RAM, outdated version of Android, poor processor, etc. This is what I usually see in cheap iPhone, iPad clones.
[Android General] gplock:

[Android General] spunker88:
Well now this one is interesting as it appears to share a lot of the specs with the actual iPhone. But it appears the SOC is different, instead of the Samsung made 1ghz, ARMv7 this unit has an MT6573 at 650mhz. Although they are claiming to OC it to 800mhz while I only see 650mhz from the manufacturer's site. The MT6573 is a generation behind only supporting ARMv6.

[Android Apps and Games] WiredPirate:
Thanks but that doesn't work. The easiest way I have found it to download the app "AppMonster" go to the app you want the apk and select "backup", then use root explorer, or whatever file explorer, to navigate to /sdcard/appmonster2/backup/[app name]/rev , there you will find the apk. Now you can copy it and upload it. Thanks anybody willing to do this for me!:)
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
Nope, that doesn't work. Doesn't copy an apk into the backup directory - probably because the app is "protected". Sorry :(
[Android Apps and Games] zeigerapps:
@WiredPirate

I have noticed this error before when I was testing my own app.

I am not sure if it works for you but if you have a previous version of this app installed, uninstall it fully and then re-install the new apk.

When I tried doing that, it app loaded successfully :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Strange! I use this method all the time and never had a problem?. Thank you for trying.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the app never installed. It just gave me the message I posted in the screenshot above.:(

do any one know why( exactly which code) makes the miui apps not to run on cm7?

i am in hard checking on how to port miui filemanager to cm7.

i decompiled the miui filemanager, and checked for any miui specific codes in the class files. i cant find anything like that. any one have any idea?

i think that the working of filemanager of miui is strictly dependent on miuis framework and my idea is to change those dependencies to cm7's.

if anybody have some ideas pls help me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mDroidd:
The MIUI and CM7 specific apps use things from that framework.

If thry are not available in yours, it will simply not work.

the worst thing is miui apk even dont run on android vm, where cm7 ones run. i use android 2.3.3 vm to check both, both apks are taken from 2.3.7 versions of custom roms. only cm7 based one runs the other refused to even install( i checked with many miui apks, same results).

then how miui apks are checked and debugged??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It is most likely the way that CM changes the base android code. As.it will use the Cm framework you will most likely have to rebuild the app using the cm files and frameworks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhavery:
It mainly due to /system/framework/com.miui-framework-res.apk which has the framework files for miui apps to run. Also the framework files like android.policy.jar. framework.jar, services.jar are different and are built to support miui apps. You need to dig deep into the framework to see what files are responsible for a particular miui app and incorporate them into miui apk you want to install om CM7 rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
thats the thing i already know, and all i want is to know whats the diff in miui, or whats that code which contains in miui and not in cm7 framework. by knowing that, we can replace that code in miui apps and put correspondig cm7 one.

i know apps like miui cam,gallery, music is already ported to cm7. and may be the dev of that port can hint me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
i dont think i should dig that much into framework and supporting files of miui, cut those specific codes, put it into cm7 framework and screw up.

but i think to take a diff aproch, dig into apps, find those lines that require miui framework and files, revert it to cm7's framework and files.

and i think i can do it. but i req some help from u people.

can anybody give me the original and ported file of any miui apps like camera,gallery( the best option) or music.

i have all the three, and originals i copied from miui rom. but its not same versions.

so this is i want, same versions of ported and non ported ones. like , if original camera is 2.1.114, i need ported camera too in same 2.1.114 version.

any one have those?

Hi guys,

I have searched around for this so please don't shout at me :P

So my problem is that I have an obsession with keeping all of my data on my devices very neat and tidy for example having specific folders for all of my data and knowing exactly where it is located on my storage devices :)

So what I was wondering was, is there a way to have a partition of some sort in which I can have all of my phones self created folders for example these folders and then have my own private folders and files for example music and images on a separate partition so when I turn on Mass Storage mode My Computer will display partition one with all the android folders in and partition two with my folder in?

Thanks for your help guys
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
I dont think so pal, you would have to build a rom to support your changed partitions, between system stuff and personal media. And the only sdcard partitioning I've heard of is for app2sd and the like. Even if you could build the rom for it you would have to modify every downloaded app to use this new partition. Which would take a lot of work and may **** them up. Sorry buddy, nice thought though :D always good to be organised ;)
