Stats:

HTC Vivid AT&T

Android Version 2.3.4

HTC Sense Version 3.0

Software #1.63.502.4

Action taken:

Followed the Superguide to the letter, unlocked phone, rooted no issues. Every thing went according to the guide. I even removed CIQ with no issues. I did not flash a custom ROM because i'm still researching what is available. Since the Dev forum is very technical i have to do a lot of reading to understand what is the best method and software. I'm an Air traffic Controller and a quick study, so i make sure i'm very precise.

Result:

After completing the process i noticed that i have sever signal degradation. Prior to rooting i was picking up 5 full bars and 4G inside my house. Now i only pick up maybe one to two and Edge. My wife is picking up full power on her POS flip phone.

Trouble shooting actions taken:

Verified APN was correct and loaded an alternate configuration - Failed to resolve

Pulled and checked the sim card - Failed to resolve

Unable to find an App for checking my base band nor do i know what the original settings would have been. So following the Superguide step 6, i returned to stock. It was successful in reverting to Stock however i still have no signal strength.

If someone could please point me in the right direction to apply more troubleshooting techniques, of possabley have a solution. I have searched the entire vivid forums with no luck and the other post on this topic where for phone outside the US. Most had no resolution listed or where left unanswered. Please help, thanks in advance.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joker2212:
So my Kindle Fire I got can't be registered to Amazon because it is considered lost or stolen so the device is locked, some bull****.

I spent over 2 hours chatting with them to try and get it to activate but they said they can't blah blah.

I have it rooted with the Android Market, but I was wondering if there was anyway to bypass the registration part so I can buy Books and stuff directly from Amazon marketplace.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collinsac24:
maybe a full reflash of the stock or a cm7 then use a new amazon account
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shravbits:
Complete restore. Wipe to setup state. I'm not sure if wiping the internal storage will work, but try to get into setup mode. Maybe even make a new amazon account.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joker2212:
They told me the serial is blocked, so what would restoring it do? If you still think it'll work, let me know, and if I do restore, does that mean I need to re-root it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shravbits:
If the serial is blocked, you may be stuck, unless you find a way to mod the build info and remove the blocked serial. In addition, if you restore, then you must reroot. Hope this helps!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collinsac24:
If they are just blocking you from Amazon appstore why not just use the Android mar....I mean google play
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joker2212:
Does the Google Play market have the kindle books like Amazon?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 85gallon:
I would go back to where you got the kindle from if the serial is blocked. I mean if you came by it in a legit way. If you didn't come across it in a legit way then go somewhere else to get it working.

Umm yes it can its. Called buy from a reputable source and don't be cheap anything with too low of a price compared to retail is typically counterfeit or stolen its not real hard, buy from a store or a seller with good feedback or proof of purchase simple as that just cuz you paid for it doesn't mean you're absolvable of guilt its. Called receiving stolen property and can be charged as anything from a misdemeanor to a felony depending on the value of. The item

May 15 Free: http://www.mediafire.com/?21ay5pphrpv9jqa

First, we need to stop the phone reboot to see what's causing it and so you can send me debug logs:

- Remove the app and re-install it so we can start fresh.

- Start the app. You should see an SU request. Select "Allow". If you get to the introduction screen, press the Back key so the app doesn't try to start. If the app crashes before the Intro screen, re-install the app and try again using "Deny" for SU.

- Now, select Menu->Settings->Debug. Set FM Chip to "Emulator (Test)". Set FM API to "Low Level". Set BC 4330/20780 to Enable.

- Hit Back and go into the Audio config. Set Method to "None" at the bottom. Hit Back twice to return to the App. Now press the Power button to start the FM.

- Hopefully there will be no crash at this point and you will see RSSI 44 at upper left. Select Menu->Settings->Debug and set FM Chip to "Broadcom". Restart/power cycle the app and hopefully we will see something good with no crash. The app will likely need SU to work.

Now set Audio->Method to "qdsp5v2 Analog" near the bottom of the list and restart the app.

Hopefully sound will happen. It's set so that Mute is actually speaker, but this is just for testing. Try the Mute/Unmute and Headset/Speaker buttons a few times.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marcolnx:
Wow, thanks a lot for sharing :)

Works perfect also with miui 1.12.16 (default and new kernel)

Now we can play fm radio with headset inside MIUI.

Now we have only to found a way (without reboot the mobile, at this moment the only way I found) for restore standard audio after closing spirit fm, because no more sound (fm spirit works the same).

Great :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pikachukaki:
Thats why the dev said that he need to find a way to work calling audio after closing spirit fm...with miui 2.3.9 i don't have this problem..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marcolnx:
Ok :-) I don't use too much fm radio but now this is possible (great) and one reboot it is not a great problem. Waiting and hoping for audio fix I keep also greek language. Thanks again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pikachukaki:
Np...i told this problem to the dev lets hope he can fix it...the main think is that we have radio for all of our custom roms...now we need the most important...devs to make new roms!! :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marcolnx:
Hi, I tested 2.3.9 miui rom (also adding italian and greek language), but about spirit fm, after stopping, no more audio, just the same of 1.12.16 (need reboot for fix).

Can you confirm you have not this audio problem, making some try?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pikachukaki:
I have the same problem..only the first time sound work without restart...you add greek keyboard on android stock keyboard??how??i inform the dev about this bug im excpecting a fix!!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
I'll fix anything I CAN fix in a reasonable amount of time, relative to the number of people who have a given phone etc.

In other words, I can't spend weeks of work on an unpopular phone. I've pretty much given up on the u8800 (not pro) due to the unusual FM chip and the audio problems we're seeing on this device also. (Maybe related ?)

March 18th release is on the Market/Play. I modified the qdsp5v2 Analog audio method so hopefully it gives you audio without phone crashing.

But as before, and as is common on some phones, I can't guarantee no audio problems, including on phone calls, so please test that yourself.

I tried contacting Huawei to see if they could send me a phone or 2, but no luck. Only HTC responded positively with a device, unlike Huawei, Samsung and Motorola.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GeorgT:
With the new version from the market the qdsp5v2 Analog audio method works!

The reboot after is still necessary but its not the biggest problem!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marcolnx:
Me too, working fine without starting bluetooth, only need a reboot for restore the audio. Because Mikers maked an incredible works (olso for unpopular mobile like u8800pro, my mobile) now I upgraded to unlocked version, and I'm happy for this. Thank you Michael and f..k huawei
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pikachukaki:
New version added new audio plugin...if someone can test it see details on first post!!thanks!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
Hmmm.

Right now the u8800pro is the only Huawei device on my "works list".

I just added the u8800pro now, for next release, to the list of devices for which "BC 4330/20780" is automatically set. This will need ro.product.device set to "hwu8800Pro" to work.

I made some SU changes recently that make the app more stable on some devices. Some would reboot.

I also added a new method "qdsp5v2 Plus/ICS" and it's possible I could make a "qsdp5v2 Analog" variant of it.

But I don't recall if the u8800pro has a /dev/codec_aic3254 device that would benefit from this change.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
Hello,

I'm trying to purchase the unlocked version (since the free appears to be working on my ICS 8800Pro) but it reports that my device is not available.

Please have a look at it so that I can proceed with my purchase (and support). Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
Thanks for your interest. :)

Is it possible your ROM is misidentifying your device ? Or that it uses custom DPI settings that causes Google Play issues with other apps ?

The "ro.product.device" for your device needs to be set to "hwu8800Pro". That's the only Huawei device supported at present.

Sometimes there is an alias I'm not aware of.

You can find out by running:

adb shell getprop | grep ro.product.device

It should output something like:

[ro.product.device]: [hwu8800Pro]

Or you can send me a debug log from the free version with this:

Hit the Frequency button, enter 7 and OK, and after a few seconds. enter "u8800pro" in the email text and press send.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
Mike, thanks again for the app; totally worth its money.

If there's a way to help solve the last remaining issue on this phone (the complete loss of audio after the application shuts down), that would be great!

Cheers!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
You're using "qsdp5v2 Analog" is that right ?

I had code for this method to disable the FM paths, but it was disabled, likely because there were problems with it.

Sometimes people think I can make phones I don't have work well without any feedback, but I can't. This app uses low level "hacks" that are very hardware dependent.

I NEED people to tell me when something isn't working, or when it is working, and sometimes a few reminders help when I'm busy and get forgetful.

I've re-enabled this code and its in the new April 22 release.

I've also enabled a "hack" that will kill the mediaserver process on mute or shutdown, and that will often fix audio problems. This is a horrible hack, but if it works, it works, and at least gives a short term solution.

To enable this hack, in the April 22 version only, enable Settings->Debug->"OMAP FM_PLUG Off". IE, make sure it's checked, which it isn't by default.

EDIT: April 22 now available. For paid versions see my sig. For Free: http://www.mediafire.com/?tb47tuztr1rpk7p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
Being a software engineer myself, I understand the frustration that comes when people expect you to fix bugs without providing you with any kind of logs or test platforms and can also understand why hacks are being frowned upon (not good past experiences with such solutions). Unfortunately, I haven't had any experience with the Android platform and as such I can offer rather limited assistance towards pinpointing low level bugs.

Anyway, the new changes do indeed keep the sound alive after the application exits. Thanks for looking into it; I will let you know if anything else occurs!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
Great !

All I ask is that people let me know if it works or not, and the best & fastest way is on the thread in my sig. And if it continues remind me, in case I forgot.

If there's an issue, all you have to do is send me a debug log with Menu->Test->Email->Logs and after a few seconds. enter "Phone Model" in the email text and press send.

Simple for users.

:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Doctor Who:
I appreciate that Mike, I will let you know if anything occurs; so far it works perfectly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marcolnx:
Hi Mike, I tried it and it works very well without crash or audio problems. But now I upgraded my unlocked version with play store and now application crash (restart mobile) and headset don't work. Can you restore this version please (unlocked)?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
So you know, I respond faster if you post on my thread in my sig or email.

I can't just put an old version back on Play. Hundreds of customers would get angry for one thing. If you need an old version, it's best to email me.

And if you have some problem, the first thing to do is use Menu->Email Logs and write something in the email about the issue before pressing Send.

April 22 was OK ? I don't see any changes in April 24b, from April 22 that should affect you.

Both 5.18 and 5.19 works, but mutes all sounds if call received (or any other sound) while radio is on. The only difference from older version - radio sound comes back after call ended, but to get other sounds back - restart necessary.

Also I noticed both versions turns on bluetooth when radio is turned on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
May 22 is up: http://www.mediafire.com/?a80rmspw4kdt52z

Changes are here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26433395&postcount=3536

Many ICS ROMs never turn Bluetooth off, at a low level. Turning it on or off at the Android level mostly makes it look changed. So my app can't use the UART mode on these ROMs.

I'm able to make it work by killing some BT processes, but that leaves BT in a bad state if you need it later. I'm continuing to look into this.

One some devices, I have a "hack" that kills mediaserver when turning off FM, or when a phone call comes in. Mediaserver restarts itself. It's a nasty brute force hack, but it can work and prevent the need for a reboot.

For next release I'll try to put in a generalized form of this hack. I'll be happy to find better solutions, but there are difficult to find, even among the test phones I have right in front of me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
I DID put this hack in for the u8800pro some time ago.

It works if you have Audio Method set to "qdsp5v2 Analog" AND you must enable Debug -> OMAP FM_PLUG Off (At the bottom).

"OMAP FM_PLUG Off" is intended for a different function, but this was a quick hack.

I'll create a new option with a better name like "Kill Mediaserver".
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pikachukaki:
Im using is with miui v4 and its working great also there was some minor graphical bugs...i will post a ss when i can...but after closing the radio the music from music.apk for example didn't hear!!also if you please and its easy a widget will be great addision to your app!!

I change also the volume control to something else but still when im trying to play some music i can't hear anything!!! :/ if you fix this then i don't thing there is anything else to fix!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikereidis:
qdsp5v2 analog should now automatically set the May 25 version setting for Debug->Mute Kill mediaserver.

But you can try manually setting Debug->Mute Kill mediaserver to "Enable".

Do that, press Mute, then do Menu->EMail Logs to send me the logs and I'll see if mediaserver is getting properly killed and restarted.
