[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Im going to decompile alsa and see if i can look through the code and see how it does it. No promises as i only 1 yr experience with java
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Wow! Thank you so much, good luck! 1 year java experience is 1 year more than I have :D
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
No problem. ALSA is a linux thing, not just android so that means even more stuff i don't know lol. But the developer and me are in contact now.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Thank you, lets hope this can be done ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] haztv:
Awesome news glad somebody is attempting to look into this, thanks for your time and effort
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
The dev seems to be busy as his replies aren't always quick. Which is ok. Right now i'm trying ot learn how to create scripts. When i figure it out, would you guys like a script [you can set it as a widget so it's one-click] that you can just click and it resets STDac back to 15??? i figure it would be faster than having to go through the app for now. ofcourse this will only be temporary
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Thanks. That would be a temporarily workaround, but not much better than retyping the command in a terminal.

We have to find out why it's resetting all the time and resetting to a value that is different from that we have already saved with alsa_ctl store. I mean, if you want to check if the config was saved, just type alsa_ctl restore and the USER config is loaded.

As hashcode wrote in this post: http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/2011/10/29/hashcode-vs-motorola-alsa-sound/ Motorola has wrapped alsa (whatever that means, I am no dev :D) to make HDMI working.

Maybe removing HDMI funcionality or driver loading would prevent that Moto is resetting their own, maybe hardcoded, values.

EDIT: It's driving me CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Yea i know, itd just be quicker than having yo open an app. Its not moto as the ics releases are doing it too, and the dev says he hasnt been able to figure it out. I had no clue hash was working on this, he will most likely figure it out first. My next step is to capture a logcat for the setting. If i can figure out how to make this script however, a little background program wouldnt take much memory. It could monitor if the setting is changed and change it back. However this still isnt what i want, these are just workaround until i/someone can figure out the problem
[Motorola Droid 3] haztv:
The widget would be a good start I'll appreciate anything until it gets resolved
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
You can use gScript from the Android Market and create a new script that runs

alsa_amixer set 'STDac' 13

13 can also be something else between 1 and 15.
[Motorola Droid 3] raum_dellamorte:
Since I saw no mention of root (or did I miss it?) in the thread I thought that might have something to do with it, so the first thing I did was:

$ su
# alsa_amixer set 'STDac' 14
# alsa_ctl store

It gave me this error:

alsa_ctl: save_state:1532: Cannot open /etc/asound.state for writing: Read-only file system

So my next thought was, "Perhaps if you aren't running the commands as root it's saving the state in regular user land, so to speak, and being overruled by the root values. Perhaps remounting in read write mode could fix this."

And then I tried it.

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# alsa_amixer set 'STDac' 14
# alsa_ctl store
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

No error storing, but volume still resets. 'alsa_ctl restore' works but gives me this error:

alsa_ctl: set_control:1388: Cannot write control '2:0:0:DAI Mode:0' : Invalid argument

So I hope some of this info is useful. Quick question, though. Anyone know the alsa command for in-call volume?
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
It should be 'sset' with two s's... i dont think its not root though as the program automatically uses root to set the commands, they cant be accessd without it.

The developer stopped emailing me after the second resposne so i lost help and couldnt figure it out either doe.

Im pretty sure its just something else modding the file. Just dont know what it is, i dont know if the file being set to r/o would affect the system. Maybe changing the file ownership, and permissions would work. Doubt it doe, cause im sure the dev thought of that.
[Motorola Droid 3] bit2:
I've a GNex and running simply "alsa_amixer" does not show any channel named STDac. Moreover if I change some volumes in Android, the output of "alsa_amixer" does not change at all (I don't know whether it should ... it's just what I observed). But in an attempt to help, I've run an "alsa_amixer sset ... 130" on one of the channels and used strace to get a list of files it read/wrote.

My exact command was:

strace -o alsa_amixer_strace.log alsa_amixer "DL1 Voice" 130

It turned out that "alsa_amixer" opened (and parsed) the config file at /system/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf (but did not modify it!), then looked for potential config files at /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc (but did not find any), then opened and wrote into /dev/snd/controlC0.

That's all. I hope this gives you a place to start looking.

Btw. you can get a precompiled strace (for ARM/Android) from a couple of places or you can compile one yourself. Use Google ("strace android"). :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 4631981:
It costs $549, and I want just the phone itself, no business with AT&T what so ever. I wanted to buy it from AT&T store, but they said I can't buy just the phone at no-contract price, I still have to open a wireless account and pay monthly service. If I order the phone from Amazon, I don't have to pay anything else to AT&T? Will it turn on without a simcard (or it already has dummy sim without service)?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lelloo:
No Need

You don't need any business with AT&T. The phone turns on great without any sim & if you buy it on Amazon for the full price 500$ something, your free to do whatever you like. Worst case scenario, buy a dummy sim from AT&T @10$ max if your phone requires a sim when booting.

You welcome.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
I have a samsung galaxy r[gt-i9103]...had rooted it...but then after a couple of months of rooting the network suddenly vanished. the android version i currently have is 2.3.4 and kernel version is 2.6.36.3=I6003XWKG7-CL423193root@DELL 142 #3..the imei has changed to 004999010640000 which is not the imei number i am supposed to have. tried a lot of things but got no where close to getting it back. decided to take to the samsung guys..any idea as to how much would it cost me to get it repaired considering the fact they will know my phone is rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
AFAIK, d moment they know that d fone is rooted, u have void d warranty...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] rajatsharma23:
did u make nandroid backup before rooting ur device?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
have you taken EFS folder backup.. if not before going to service center flash stock firmware of your country and do factory reset, so that they will not know you have rooted your device..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
I think he has already given it for servicing, but I'm not sure of the cost of getting a phone repaired by ssc (samsung service centre) , normally through some contacts we just have to pay rs1000 and the ssc ppl close one eye and repair the phone as though its under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
I did not take a nandroid backup or the back up of the efs file...stupid of me not to read everything complete...and i havent given it yet..i am planning to give it to the samsung people...also i would like to know they do not check the binary counter ? and i know the minute you root your warranty gets voided..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
what exactly is CSC ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
Sorry for the typo, I meant ssc (samsung service centre)

I have seen rooted devices getting repaired under warranty by the samsung service centre in my city. But the owners of the phone just had to pay a little overhead

Hope you get your device repaired soon
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amar1548:
i have same problem ........

but my when i checked my imei it says unknown , now i have nandroid back up it can restore the efs folder .......... i have restore the stock indian rom and i want to know about how much time and cost get to restore my imei through samsung service.............:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
if u have warranty they will repair it for free, approx they will take 1~2 days in this as this is only a software issue.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amar1548:
i have warranty but somewhere i read that most of the time correpted imei can not be restored:(

and also buddy please tell me this method will work for galaxy r or not. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
if u have stock efs folder u can give it a try i m not sure it will work or not.

and about ssc they will fix it for free, just flash indian stock rom, reset counter and if possible format data so that they cant find traces of recovery or other apps which need root.

just claim that u were using ur phone and it restarted and boom :D ur networks gone, they will easily believe this and repair it for free. dont ever mention that u have messed with phone by rooting and flashing custom stuff. dont forget to take copy of bill with u ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
Any idea as to how much would I need to shell out for that?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
Resetting the counter is essential right?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Yes. If u wont reset they will tell u u have flashed unofficial stuff on ur phone and that voids warranty.

(usualy in ssc they write on notice board that flashing custom roms or rooting voids ur warranty)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
even in worse case scenario that i am unable to get a jig and reset it they will repair it outside warranty and charge me right ? and any idea as to how much would they charge?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
if u goto ssc with rooted or counter increased device they will declare that ur device no longer in warranty and all future problems will be chargeable too.

why u cant get jig? if u have cc related issue than use this thread, many peoples are sharing their jig.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jebaclament:

if you didn't reset the counter.they may charge you...and i-2 weeks to repair is unacceptable dude.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
What explanation did you give for your IMEI which had vanished ? :D

And did he buy it ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amar1548:
it's easy to make them believe........

i didn't reset the counter and tell them that suddenly after reboot the imei has changed and they believe and tell it will be in warranty........:D and about duration ,hoshiarpur where i lived is not as developed as ur areas..... so they told me that we have to send my phone to chandhigarh:)....... in that way 1-2 week time is acceptable........:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Wow !

Either that guy is an idiot or he is very considerate ! :D

If you don't mind then could share the details of the service center you visited so some other unfortunate ppl could go there too & get their R back to life ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amar1548:
in hoshiarpur,punjab. there is only one ssc , near session chonk.....:D well yes she is so considerate:D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
with out resetting the counter also they have accepted and will be covered in warranty:eek: ... wow you should be lucky man.....:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
lol :D this is insane,

as they told they will send to other ssc, hope that guys dont create any prob because of ur binary counter.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
Will surely try doing that...have my exams on so will go to ssc in June..don't mind paying also..tried a lot of methods to restore imei including the flashing ics rom and trinagleremove app but dint work nor did the hex editor thing :confused::confused: so got no real option now...trying to arrange for a jig if possible else will have to try to con them
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Do you know soldering a bit ?

If yes then click on the How To's link in my signature. You'll find a video that I have linked on making that USB jig at home.

You'll need a 301k ohm resistor and any Micro USB cable to make it. But proceed any further with caution & only if you are confident about it.

Cheers ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pulley06:
Thanks...did try making it...dint turn out well...was a problem
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
use cheap micro usb cable to do this, it should work, be careful while choosing resistors it should be 301 kohm (+- 5% tolerance will work)

better u buy a jig its cheap and handy to use as its having a nice body :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amar1548:
after one week today when i called the ssc she tells that ur motherboard got replaced and it takes more than two days to get it........... i asked again that it will in warranty:confused: she says absolutely in warrenty.........:D

hey guys today i got my r back............ at no cost:D , so when i switched on the phone and see the android version it is 2.3.6 and baseband ver. is I9103ZSKK5 so that's strange for me because official indian rom is 2.3.5..... any way ,then i put my phone in download mode to see custome binary counter , before i gave the phone to them it was 5but now it is 0 :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
you must be lucky dude... but why they have installed ZSKK5..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
lol :D this is totally insane, u give a phone with 5 binary counts and they fix it for free :D not only this but they install a fw of another country and also reset ur binary counter, u r lucky man. wish alll ssc were like this :rolleyes:

Hey guys...my problem got fixed the same way...I did not know the importance of efs backup and flashing screwed my imei...my phone was still in warranty. They did not check the binary counter. I gave it on Friday and on Monday afternoon I get a call saying it had been fixed under warranty. They changed the motherboard. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
nice to hear that Samsung Service Center people are not checking the Binary count that's really good news may be they are not trained and they are just checking the purchase date i feel ...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
same regular process, flash stock rom, if doesnt fix issue change the whole motherboard :D btw congrats for ur prob being resolved, next time before messing with ur phone do backup efs folder ;)

Efs and nand back up are enough right? And which is the most stable rom to use with our phones?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:

I went to Play and updated my apps. I press and held the power button and selected "restart". (I restart my device regularly) However, after shutting down, it does not boot at all and no matter how many times I press the power button it just wouldn't boot up! :(

I tried charging it too. Nothing happens even after plugging in.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lsherif:
Can you get to the boot loader, if so, try to wipe data from the recovery within the boot loader.

Or else leave the battery to drain fully , this will solve your problem and the tab will boot.

This happened to me couple of weeks ago and draining the battery solved this issue.

You can get to the boot loader by pressing power button + volume down at the same time.

try it.

I've got the new ICS release installed and so far everything seems to working perfectly well except when the device is placed in the official samsung car dock in landscape.

If you get a phone call or try to make one the phone app crashes, kills the mobile connection and bluetooth connections too.

The dialer works though. It looks like the caller doesn't support landscape and when forced by the car dock, it goes tits up.

That's a pretty significant problem when you can't perform the most basic task of trying to take or make calls in a car.

Anyone know any way of replacing the "in call" application? The dialer is fine.
