Hi,

I recently bought a new Jabra Wave bluetooth headset for use with my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.

Everything about the headset is fine except for the fact that the bluetooth headset is not able to play the phone ringtone when i get an incoming call. Instead the bluetooth headset plays its default ringtone which is to low in volume and sometimes you dont know if there is an incoming call until you hear the person who has called, say hello.

Is there any way by which i can change this behaviour?

Thanks,

Gokul

Hi, I'm in same situation, maybe worste, because I don't listen to neither default ringtone.

It's happened only with my Galaxy Nexus (ROM 4.2.1), but is in same your way with my Motorola Atrix 4g (work phone with ROM 2.3.6).

Very strange issue, the calls working very well...

Anyone can help us???

Thanks and Merry XMas

Soo….Go ahead and call me a noob, laugh at me, do whatever it is that you want to do to me…but…..

So there I was following Justin Case’s instructions to a T trying to avoid bricking my phone and pow I finished everything, finished the second to last step I should say.

I stopped the script in the second to last step, and my dumb self got distracted and didn’t complete the last step, I unplugged my device and restarted it without completing the step:

adb shell mv /data/DxDrm /data/DxDrm_trash
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
adb reboot

And, now I am pretty sure that my phone Is bricked, sooooo…… Is there any way to fix it, or am I out 600$ and buying another one?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
I have an old beat up Motorola Droid 1 that I've been using as a dedicated dash cam in my car and it's been working great except the battery life isn't great. I keep it in Airplane Mode and it is always connected to the charger but it only charges when the car is running, so when I'm not driving the phone stays on and after a day it dies. Does anyone have any recommendations for increasing the battery life? It's rooted and running a custom ROM (Bugless Beast) v0.5 which is Android 2.2) so I'm able to disable any unnecessary apps or services that aren't being used. I'll never use it as anything except a dash cam so even things like GPS are unnecessary. I don't have any apps installed besides the ones used for the dash cam functions. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

For anyone who's interested in my setup, I keep the phone in a windshield mount and it stays plugged in and I have an app called AutomateIt that detects power whenever I turn on the ignition and it opens up another app called DailyRoads which is set to automatically start recording once opened. I then have AutomateIt set to detect when the power source is shut off and it closes DailyRoads at that point. It works great and all videos are saved to the phone's microSD card. To save space I disabled audio recording so only video is recorded. Finally, I have a tiny wide-angle lens glued over the phone's regular camera lens so that there's a much wider field of view than normal. The more I capture the better.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
Thanks but I'm trying to keep the phone on as long as possible, not charge the car battery, although somehow using solar charging would be an interesting idea for the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Of course you are supposed to charge the phone using the small dashboard solar panel. You'll just need a few couplings and a 12V USB charger.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
Could you please point out what the couplings look like? I have a 12V USB charger already but I'd need to know what the couplings are like. Thanks again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Since you'd like to charge from the car engine while running, I'd use an Y splitter, connecting the USB charger in one outlet, and the solar panel in the other. Don't buy a too cheap/small panel though, you'll need all the amperage you can get, especially during overcast days.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
I'm currently using this to power the dashcam phone as well as charge my regular phone:

Would that work the same way or should I buy the "Y" one you showed? I also found the site selling the solar panel for $20 so I'd assume that's good enough.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Looks perfect. What amperage (or wattage) does the solar panel deliver?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
The site says 1 watt and of course it's 12V. Since you most likely just found it as an example I think I'll do some research to see what other solar panel options there are. I assume I should aim for a 1A panel. Now that I know the general setup I'm happy to do some experimenting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
1 watt is far too low. 1W is 80mA at 12V, and you must aim for at least 500mA (6W) to make sure the USB charger gets happy. Also remember the figures are at optimum conditions, i.e. bright sun at 90 degrees, so yes, aim for at least 1A. The more the merrier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
Yeah I know most Android phones require between 500mA to 1A so I always aim for the higher number. If you happen to know where I can find a 6 or 12W 12V solar panel I'd appreciate it, because I'm not having much luck finding anything good that also has the cigarette lighter plug.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
USB 2.0 can only deliver 500mA per specification, so you know for sure this is enough to get things going. I'm here assuming your USB charger is a linear regulator, consuming the same amperage it delivers (i.e. 40% conversation rate), and this is worst-case.

Yes I have a few stores here close by selling such panels, but I guess p&p from Sweden isn't the best way spending you money. ;)

You won't find any high power solar panels with cigarette plugs, since with more power you'll need more advanced charging circuits to protect your car battery from frying. But 6 to 12W should not be any problem to find with a cigarette plug.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
Wow I didn't even notice you're in Sweden, your English is incredible! I'm happy to continue researching based on your advice so tack så, I really do appreciate it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Another maybe simpler solution is to install another cigarette outlet in your car, connected to your car battery via a discharge protection circuit. This way you'll charge the phone from the car battery even when the engine is off, and the protection circuit will ensure you always got power enough to start the car. I.e. it'll turn of at 25% remaining charge or so, and 75% of your car battery will power your phone for a very long time.

But this will cause your car battery to wear out faster, due to the increased number and depths of charge cycles.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcorlatan:
If anyone else has an idea for reducing the power drain of the phone I'd love to hear options since the phone would only be used as the camera. I'm thinking of permanently disabling services and apps but other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avrfan:
Reducing power usage...

I dunno if you already tried this, perhaps I missed where you said it already, I did read the thread to best of my ability, but I think the screen uses alot of power, especially if set to max brightness. Perhaps you can use the AutomateIt app or some other to have the screen power off until you tap it again. Have it power the screen off on a timer like 5 seconds or 10 seconds or something.

Other idea: Perhaps you can install an app such as an Android version of TOP or HTOP which on linux monitors running processes and CPU usage, memory usage etc. (probably you know this) Use this tool to find other processes that are perhaps hogging CPU time and see if you can shut those down.

I am new to hacking Android and even linux for that matter but I know there are these daemons( similar to windows services) at are started by a boot or login script which you can control running by editing the appropriate file (I don't know what file that would be). There is likely a utility app out there already which makes this easy via a GUI. Shutdown any services (daemons) you don't need.

Otherwise, I think plugging the phone into the cigarette lighter jack would eliminate this problem rather quickly I believe.

How is the project been going for you since you last posted? I am interested in doing something similar with my old LG Optimus.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] Velathawen:
Hello,

I have been trying to get Cleanrom installed and followed instructions via this thread, but I'm stuck at the part where I am supposed to get TWRP installed.

At the moment this is where I stand:

JDK + Android SDK both are up and running.

OTA update to JB followed by successful unlock using the v7 unlocker app.

TF 700 drivers are installed and working

USB Debugging is enabled, Asus Sync is disabled.

Everything is done with a direct connection from the tablet to my computer, I am not connecting through the keyboard dock.

I have been using Scott's Recovery Tool Installer v1.0 and I am able to successfully get into the bootloader, select fastboot mode and send the renamed recovery file. However, it just stalls at this point without any indication of an error. I assume it stalls as I have waited 20+ minutes and I am not certain it should take that long to push an 8 MB file.

Please advise!

- - -

Turns out the fastboot from Google SDK wasn't playing nice, found another adb/fastboot package from guides posted and I'm up and running.

I downloaded the icons from the play store and applied it in apex launcher. The icons have colored logos in the inside of the gray circle instead of white logos like the pictures show and some of the icons are smaller than the others(contacts is smaller than phone).

Is there some setting that I'm missing to change this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

[Android Themes] ItsmYarD:
Hi,

That's because those icons don't exist in the icon set or the app activity is different then what was put in so that's why it shows the default icon back which is a grey circle with the existing app icon.

[Q] How to convert any "initrd.gz" of NAND/NativeSD ROM to "SD" Version?

I'm successfully convert many ICS NAND ROMs and others to SD version.

I used UBUNTU to create the .ext4 system/data files

I used the Updater-script to 'grep' the required actions for setting the symlinks and permissions.

With the Help of the NAND version of the Initrd.gz, I success for many ROMs to create updated Initrd.gz and it Boots fine.

With Others new ROM, it Hangs at booting process which needs much time and efforts to study the init.rc, initcleo.................... which i can't.

I have tried to convert the "Initrd.gz" of many ROMs to SD version but always failed.

The reason is the Technique for SD definitions in "init.rc", init.htcleo.rc, ......." which many of us don't know about.

There are some few ROMs has been converted by the cookers and they are working fine.

Most of the New ROMs specially "JB" are not easy to be converted.

Here I'm trying to find a guide or special instructions for those specific files mentioned above to step over a restricted way for conversion.

Please, if any of you has experience in this or did his experimental tries for the same to help us in here.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] o82239:
Hi,

why don't you use NativSD?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] robekia1:
Why No NativeSD

Because i like to try many ROMs without intervention.

When i use the normal SD versions for ROM then i need to test another rom, all what i need to do is:

1- Remove the old files for that ROM from the folder and copy the other.

2- Keep both ROMs and play with them.

3- In case i need to do Backup, simply copy all directory files to any storage (So simple).

But with Native SD, it requires many procedures like (Prepare the SD, create parti., .........) which i don't like that way.

I always prefer the SD method and i love to convert NAND ROMs or NativeSD to SD.

Anyhow, thanks for your question but i didn't yet got a reply.
[Sailfish General] Trekfan422991:
I dont know if anyone else has seen the news on a new os called sailfish.. by a company called jolla. I guess they are from old meego times..

Looks like they want it to run on all devices.. and even hope for andtoid apps support..

Anyone interested.. maybe a port would be neatvto try,.. the two latest nexus phones are perfect because they have no nav buttons.. and the ui is buttonless.. all gesture and swiping.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/21/jolla-launches-sailfish-os/

I don't see much of an opening for a new player in the Smartphone war but good for them for trying.
[Sailfish General] Sinfamy:
The name alone is awful. I wouldn't want it on my phone.

FireFox OS maybe.
[Sailfish General] gnustomp:
It's free software, and no DRM, unlike Android. But like Replicant, it won't get market share.
[Sailfish General] 063_XOBX:
Couple interesting features worth discussion IMO:
[Sailfish General] dannejanne:
I loved MeeGo on my Nokia N9 and its swiping setup. I would love to be able to use it on my Nexus (Sailfish, that is). MeeGo has way better multitasking than Android has.

In my opinion, MeeGo is the OS that just is the most fun to use. Albeit more limiting than Android.
[Sailfish General] 063_XOBX:
But without any apps to multitask with.

That's why I don't see room for a new player at this stage of the game. Android, iOS and even WP8 to a lesser extent are just too established for a newcomer to compete.
[Sailfish General] dannejanne:
Good point. Though I am not an app person myself. It did have a good Spotify app (homebrew, that could actually search your own offline lists), a working Whatsapp (also way more customizable than any other whatsapp app) etc. It has a fairly strong dedicated community supporting it.

I hope Sailfish can handle Android apps as they claim. There's a Android logo 0:50 into their official introduction movie. I don't thing it will ever get "big". But a nice alternative for phone nerds like me.
[Sailfish General] bardzogrozny:
Hi,

i'm one of the interested ones.

There is not really a lack of Apps. If we belive what they say, a lot of Android apps should run native on Sailfish. On the other hand there is a good system to port them.

There are not only the Nexus without software keys. The new Motorolla don't have them too. They're also open for developers.

Problem is, Google will not license the play store to them.
[Sailfish General] bardzogrozny:
So you think it will be to hard for ordinary users to install apps? Don't you think they will create an own store application wich uses the google account of the user to install apps?

Otherwise there is only left to port them.
[Sailfish General] GuestK007:
Props to them for trying. I agree I don't see google letting them into the play store, because frankly it won't help their sales at all. If they deny them play store access, that new os will fade away and be forgotten. If they let it in, then it has potential to grow and be a competitor for google thus taking away from more android licenses being sold.

It will be neat to see, maybe spark ideas for the main 3 os companies to license from and improve. They should change the name so it doesnt sound like you are saying 'selfish' with a strong accent

It will probably function like sideloading apps, youll have to download them to local storage and manually install them. Easy for us, but my parents? Heck no. lol

u can install blackmart alpha or 1mobile market it looks like playstore

the real problem is there is no devs are working on this os!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why i think the android is boring sometimes and had to change it but when i look where to go the ios i hate it (don't ask why) cus i hate this apple but she has a cute phone only the 4s maybe some android ports make it good

tizen looks like bada

bada is app less (no apps)

webos who is care about it

firefox os its only for firefox browser in my mind
