[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dahunt:
Is there an app out there for this device that really works over bluetooth? The gingerbread release voice command was horrible and now that ICS (rogers stock and other ics roms) all suck for this feature. The ability to voice command the phone to do a task seems to be a hard thing to have happen! I've used several different bluetooth devices and the simple task of getting the phone to listen to the bluetooth mic instead of the phone mic seems impossible. If that wasn't enough of a problem, its impossible to get the tts engines to route audio to the bluetooth device instead of the skyrocket speakers! I've tried vlingo, svoice, and others, they all have the same issues of audio input and output.

Arrrrg really frustrating. I just want the ability to command my phone by voice (i.e. "what time is it?", "check weather", "check text messages"... all the things vlingo does) and have the phone reply through the bluetooth device connected! My old blackberry bold 9700 did all this like a champ! This is a handy feature while riding motorcycle.

Anyhow, does anyone have any thoughts?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mengfei:
is this a Theme or a ROM :eek:

seems like you've been busy lately even after loosing your phone:p

BTW any tutorial how to port/re-build a ROM?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stevediaz:
Its a rom just that i forgot to add the link and that is wat i am working on. The link will be up today, so incase u were gonna download it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] theslam08:
You could always install MultiLING keyboard if it isnt ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nigeldg:
How exactly is this different to the Sense 4.0 themed ROM? I personally think you should have just posted it there as a second choice rather than a completely different ROM, it would probably have made your life in terms of managing things easier as well.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonas2295:
just different theme i guess

I like the Lockscreen and new styles of CM7.2,

but my some software can't work well in CM7.2, just 7.1

someone help me ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
First tell us what doesn't work or what's the problem in 7.2. It isn't too easy to backport features from newer rom versions. 7.2 has a slew of new features. If its an issue with apps not showing on the market that may be easily fixable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiyispirit:
The google maps and Careland Navigation gets gps for a while,lose the signal soon.

In the GPS source of settings

if i chose the use internal gps ,then the problem is happenning.

default---no chose

when I first use CM7.2.

I think the gps source use the external so i change it.

and i can‘t change it back.

Today i flash it again,

after i installed all the software ,don't change anything,

try the Careland Navigation,it works well.

but sometime later, the problem happens again,

The google maps and Careland Navigation

Sorry my english!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I've not had a GPS issue that I know of on cm 7.2. I also use Google navigation but didn't have any weird GPS drops while using the incredible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
I've never tried it because I don't want to pay all the money for it but Widget locker would probably work. I've used Go Locker and it worked fine, so it should work as well. Like tiny said though, I've never had any problems with cm7.2 and Google Navigation so I don't see why you would unless you had some sort of conflicting app on there. CM7.2 is full of fixes from 7.1 though so logically it wouldn't make sense for you to experience problems in 7.2 that didn't exist in 7.1. That being said, the 7.2 Stable release became available on 6/16 so you may want to give it a run, if you haven't already
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nodyarg:
I've never been able to get any live wallpapers to work on ICS!! Some work better than others but they all twitch and shake after running for a while. It looks like my phone is about to explode! lol.... No one seems to talk about this, but I doubt I am the isolated case of this issue. I've only ever tried EaglesBlood and Hellfire Sandwich roms, so I was wondering:

Is there another ICS rom out there that fixes LWPs??

An ICS kernel that fixes LWPs??

Baseband?

Anything??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
The ics roms aren't the best when it comes to memory, probably causing the twitching and shaking after a while.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
Could someone with the device please confirm the exact audio hardware in the phone? We know the Intl' variant has the Wolfson audio chip, but nobody yet that is holding a phone has confirmed what is in the US version.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] americasteam:
Wouldn't they have to disassemble the phone to find the DAC?

I would like to know this as well.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
there should be some easy way to find out by reading the info out of one of the system files or installing an app that gives detailed system info.....I don't know exactly what app would do this but surely one of the many system tool type apps would have a detailed system info dump
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
I downloaded the source for the ATT model and found a file called

WM8994-core.c

there are other files that look like they could be other Wolfson Media C files, so I am not sure if the source is set up to be able to compile for a large array of audio hardware?

Found the file in location in source

"SPH-L710_NA_Kernel.tar\SPH-L710_NA_Kernel.tar\drivers\mfd\"

anyone care to comment?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jdbeitz:
I think you nailed it dude. theres also a folder in kernel\include\linux\mfd called WM8994 so thats a good sign. HELLOOOO VOODOO SOUNDD!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
one can only hope, needing some sort of confirmation
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jayrod88:
Subscribed to this thread! Hoping for voodoo sound.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
just sent supercurio a message with finding to see if it's an option
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wildcard30:
Really looking forward to answer about this.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] xstayxposix:
Fingers crossed it's Wolfson. I miss Voodoo Sound from my Captivate.

But I'm pretty sure you nailed it, and it is indeed Wolfson.

It was such a let down on the SGSII when I learned Samsung didn't go with Wolfson for it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Zacisblack:
So I'm not sure what people meant when they said the headphone volume isn't very loud. I just tried it and holy hell it's louder than my Gnex with sound control and almost as loud as my Fascinate with voodoo.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Voltage Spike:
What I've read said the international version is quiet while the U.S. version is nice and loud.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] beetmonger:
Would love to know if the wolfson dac is confirmed on the US version. As far as i can tell, it's only been asserted in a couple reviews against supercurio's tweet that it wouldn't be used.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
apparently the answer is going to have to wait until I get my Verizon model and report what I can find..........sheesh...that's two weeks out guys....and everyone else has them at least in small numbers.....what a shame
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] @rbiter:
So even though it not same wolfson chip as intl being tge wolfson 8994 does that mean voodoo sound will work or just need a few tweaks to get working?

...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ceo.mtcl:
If the best buy satisfies my pre order then I can find that out. In case you get that info before me then please share with me.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
It really depends on what supercurio does. I saw a tweet where he says he was only deving voodoo sound for the Intl version but if they end up being similar it would be a slap in the face to everyone who has donated and purchased his app in the US. I think if its Wolfson he will still do it eventually myself. Just a hunch.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] faulkton:
running it for pandora in my car is doesnt sound as loud as the captivate it's replacing.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
Pandora is crap for quality, drop some nice flacs on the sdcard and try again.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] faulkton:
i was just talking about straight volume.

besides cars in general are a crap environment for quality. Not many people have an in car setup where a difference will be noticeable and the variety/customization pandora offers beats internal storage 95% of the time... for me at least.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
What? You can have anything you want on internal and use the player of your choice and use Voodoo Sound app (when available). Pandora is a low quality web streaming service that chooses what you listen to. They arent even comparable. This thread is about the audio hardware in the phone anyways though.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] faulkton:
i tell pandora stuff i like and it plays stuff i like and maybe stuff i havent heard before. it takes little thought or effort. i get in my car and turn it on and most of the time i like what it plays. it's simple and works for me.

and again .. most people have crap audio in cars and a car environment sucks for sq.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
Well i have always been talking about using headphones anyways. Private listening, not in a noisy car.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] fullblast:
Has anyone tried USB otg to a USB DAC with the att version yet?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] N1ESE:
Isn't the 8994 one of the better Wolfson DACs?

If you have a phone, go to the Play Store and download Voodoo Report and go through and send your report to him. It might help him figure out what he needs to make Voodoo Sound work for our phone. :)

Edit: Here's the GSMArena review, scroll to the bottom of the page for audio quality. They say it's the cleanest output they've ever seen. :)

Apparently that's also the chip the Evo LTE has? Which has good sound from what I've heard :) my friend has one.

Maybe he can find something of use! I'm gonna try to email him.

Sounds fancy :)

I sent him a report from my S3, hopefully we can get this resolved and possibly working :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bbtiger:
while waiting for some magic with Voodoo sound, I decided to side load Rockbox and test the sound... I just leave everything flat and this thing sounds as good as my Captivate with Voodoo!!! What a surprise:D

Try it, you won't be disappointed:)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Zacisblack:
No one has confirmed a Wolfson chip. It has already been stated that its the same chip as the One S which apparently has the best audio output to date. There's an article in a previous post.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] KriztopherKY:
Wolfson has confirmed it's their WM1811 chip!

I can't post the link myself yet, but head over to engadget fo the story :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] junglizste:
They confirmed what everyone already knew about the international version.

The don't mention the US variants.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/26/wolfson-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Maverick777:
Until someone confirms Wolfson on the US variant this doesn't mean much. Although from my own testing between my Galaxy S and Galaxy S 3 there is a noticeable difference in the sound signatures using my Audio Technica ATH-A900 headphones.

The S3 has a tiny amount of background static when in an absolutely silent environment. The Galaxy S has no static at all. When there's any ambient noise the static is pretty much unnoticeable unless you are listening for it.

Testing out a few songs, the Galaxy S has slightly more forward and clearer vocals. The S3 has a tiny bit more base. The soundstage is just different. On the Galaxy S, its like the singers are at the front of the stage with everyone else behind them. With the S 3, it's like the singer is standing in line with all the other instruments. Since I don't have tools to measure the frequency response, it would seem the S3 has a flatter curve with a slight bump in the lower frequencies. Whereas the Galaxy S has a slight S curve with an emphasis on the mids.

So even if the US variant has a Wolfson DAC, the characteristics are definitely different from the Galaxy S to my ears.

In any case, the S3 has very good sound quality minus the slight background static.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] fullblast:
Maverick which GS3 ate you comparing (Int'l, ATT, TMI)? Also you have voodoo on your GS?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Maverick777:
I have the T-mobile GS3 and do not currently have voodoo sound installed.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] fullblast:
Fyi. Supercurio validated that it's Qualcomm chip.

.@engadget note that US variant of #GalaxySIII, Qualcomm-based uses Krait's WCD9310 audio chip instead. @wolfsonmicro #WM1811 is in GT-I9300 -- François Simond (@supercurio)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neotoky:
posted already sorry
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] fullblast:
He did also state that he's not sure if he'll develop for US version or not. Still a chance!

.@mark_munsch I don't know yet. Qualcomm sound chip seems capable, with hardware EQ DSP but @gsmarena_com SNR measurements are really bad. -- François Simond (@supercurio)

Well perhaps someone else needs to step up to the plate and give Voodoo Sound some competition
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenmon:
I recently installed the nightly build of ICS on my samsung vibrant. Today the phone had a error that said encryption cannot be completed phone must be erased. I let it do a factory reset . Then I got stuck in a endless boot cycle showing the vibrant logo and then the cynogen guy for a few seconds then reboot. I could still access the recovery menu but it refused to flash any roms I threw at it. I downloaded and ran odin 1 click recovery and it changed my tmobile phone to a att phone. And it lost the recovery mode. It just shows att screen first then samsung vibrant second and just reboots. I can still get into download mode and flash roms using odin 3 but no matter what rom I select or if I choose repartion or not the flash will go through successfully but then the phone reboots into same problem as before. I suspect the recovery files are gone since no button combination anymore gets me into recovery. Is there anything else I can do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancegrenade:
Man I am having the exact same problem. I really hope someone can figure something out soon. Did yours randomly get that error? Or did you actually try to encrypt your phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negativedrew:
Sounds like you used the wrong Odin 1 Click. If it installed Captivate bootloaders, that would cause a problem.

It just happened

It happened on its own. Was working fine all day walked in my house as as soon as it hit wifi it started going crazy. I had the data plan turned off months ago. Maybe theres something to it connecting up to the net. I have found out if you install your sim you get a reduced menu of recovery options but without sim it just constantly reboots. it only gives option of reboot, reinstall packages,delete all user data, delete cache data. If you try reinstalling the packages theres nothing there. Deleting caches made no differance. ADB does work and responds while in this lesser form of recovery is there a easy way to use adb to force a full system flash?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenmon:
Thanks

That link was perfect had a link to eugenes no brick froyo rom which fixed my problem. Dloaded that used its pit and tar files and repartioned and im back to stock. Going back to team whiskeys mod. If all ICS roms has bugs like that is unusable.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Do you have access to BOTH your internal and external SD cards? The Encryption Bug is totally and completely random and does not discriminate. There is currently no known reason or solution. Several of us across a few different devices have been working on this for months.

Consider yourself luck if you have access to both SDs as you are the 2nd person to get in and out today. Many, many others have not been as fortunate.

If you could please pull up this thread and put as much information in there as possible, it would be greatly appreciated. Are you unlocked, what happened right before, what bootloaders are you on, what ROM were you trying to flash, what ROM did you end up getting booted,....those types of things. As much detail as you can muster together, after you catch your breath and relax a minute.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Guys DO NOT run ICS unless you have read up on the Encryption Unsuccessful bug and except the possible consequences! Every ICS T959 rom should have a warning IMO.

There is no known fix > just a work around. Odin / Heimdall / Jtag = useless
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenmon:
Update

I think I might have pulled the trigger to quick. While the link above did give me Eugenes rom which at least got me out of the boot cycle both internal and external sd shows 0 and I am unable to load anything on either card. I have tried differant microsd cards all of them show the same thing. So eugenes rom got me working kind of but cant store anything at all. :( That sucks loved my vibrant and its almost out of contract and planned on using on prepay.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenmon:
Agreed 100 %

Had I of known would of stuck around on my team whiskey rom which never gave me any problems. Does this ICS bug affect amazon kindles? Ive put cynogen9 on 2 of them and am wondering if I shouldnt take it off before they turn into paper weights.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I got tagged on a Nook Color with it. BUT, since the Nook Color has a feature that no others I think do (you can boot a ROM straight from an SD card and not mess with the oringinal OS at all), I was able to just pull my Microsd out and reformat it and then put CM7 on it for my wife.

So far from what I have seen and been working on:

Vibrant, Captivate, My wife's Nook Color, A few Transformers, SGSII,...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenmon:
Anything I can do?

Anything I can do to get my partions right again? I can flash the twm 5.2.2 but none of the roms i throw at it including ics passion stays in a boot cycle. Only rom that works is eugenes froyo that does not brick and it doesnt allow internal or external mem to be seen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosup:
You may want to bring up this issue directly in Merio90's thread. I believe Alex9090 went thru possibly similar issues and may be able to help you in that thread (unless she happens to pop in here).

I'm assuming you were trying to mount sdcard and emmc within recovery first (storage and mounts)? If you do have access to recovery again and can mount the external sdcard, maybe try repartitioning the card within recovery (using the parameters in Merio90's instructions)? Then transfer your rom zip and re-flash.

People have actually flashed Eugene's Froyo post-EU ... but without an ext sdcard. Quite an oddity. It's the only one (AFAIK) that'll fully boot up (even after losing int sdcard access due to EU) yet without an external sdcard in place.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenmon:
Your assumptions are correct. I cannot mount emmc. I cannot flash any rom via 2.5 or 5.2 recovery only through odin and only eugenes rom still allows phone to boot but no mounting of internal or external sds. Ive spent about 3 days on this. There must be some hardcore adb commands to force a true factory reset partioning and all. Very annoying. Thanks for the help if I find any ways to fix it I will repost it here.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenantrep:
Might be bricked?

Ok, i will admit up front that I probably did something stupid and now am sending out a cry for help. Until yesterday I had ICS 4.0.3 successfully installed. I believe it was Euphoria flavor. But, I constantly had shortage of memory problems with the new force close language on apps running in bg - was laggy. Here is where it all went wrong - Decided to dl and install CM9 nightly to fix my laggy install. Recovery went fine, but rom failed, rebooted and sent error to cm. Tried new tactic - dl and installed Slim ICS - wrong, got stuck in boot loop - but could still get into download mode. Ran Odin to restore to stock. Ran fine but Failed - no explanation, just failed. Since it would not respond, finally turned it off - OFF has now become permanent! Power button does nothing. Charging does not light up screen. No download or recovery mode! Really fearful that this IS bad. Help, help, help!!

First of all, not to sound like a ****; but it's rude to hijack someone elses thread. You should've created your own thread for this.

Second; you might have fried your bootloader which in turn, yeah, that's bad and you might have bricked your phone.

Did you try to boot into recovery via the battery pull method. If not, try that and see how it works. I would link you to the instructions but I'm too lazy and tired right now to search for it and again, this is someone else's thread. Just do a search for it and you should find it.
