[LG Optimus G (International)] sonty:
my phone somehow ended up from Taiwan to Romania and I'd like to change the baseband from 'LGE975AT-00-V10a-OPEN-TW-JAN-18-2013+0' to a more recent baseband for Romania or Europe without going all the way around and flashing the official kdz and then back to cm10.2. it would mean at least a day lost without learning anything.

I saw someone asking the same thing in the CM10.2 thread and the recommended solution didn't work for me. flashing the modem.img from http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem/E975_E977_E976 seems not to change that string displayed by cm (both 10.1 and 10.2).

I spent a couple of days trying several tools to retrieve the other partition images from the official kdz in order to maybe flash some of them with dd from cwm (modem, modemst1,modemst2 at least). I managed to obtain a dz file and a dll file and inside the dz I can see the msdos fat16 header of the modem image, but I'd rather not risk cutting it by myself.

so, does anybody know some tutorial/tool that can split the e975 kdz files or if the houstonn modem.img is ok and it's just the cm display of the baseband version that is broken?
[LG Optimus G (International)] jumper8:
CM 10.1 read baseband version from gsm.version.baseband

It is set on /system/bin/fetch-swv by:

setprop gsm.version.baseband `strings /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc | grep ^LG | tail -1`

You can set gsm.version.baseband manualy on /system/bin/fetch-swv (after every CM update) or try to modify misc partition.

[LG Optimus G (International)] sonty:
thanks a lot. I found that version string inside my misc partition. now I just need to find a way to extract that image from the official kdz. since freegee seems to modify it then there must be a way.
[LG Optimus G (International)] dapaua:
Here I posted the modem.img from version 10f.

There are also instructions for backing up your current baseband.

Also, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566532 .

This has instructions for unpacking kdz files. I didn't try this, so I don't know if it works.
[LG Optimus G (International)] sonty:
it doesn't fully work because the kdz for optimus g apparently is not the same as the kdz for the p9*0 devices. it does open the kdz but after that there is no wdb file and it doesn't recognize some magic number.

as stated above the actual version string (and maybe other things also) are on the misc partition. if your phone is onlocked with freegee, could you please upload also your misc partition?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] tbot:
Hey guys...So I've searched the forums and the interwebs trying to find if anyone else has this issue, but the top speaker on my HTC One is significantly quieter than the lower speaker. It also is super quiet when talking on the phone, as in I have to be in a quiet room and the phone forcibly pressed against my ear in the right place for me to hear anyone. This happens across different ROMs leading me to believe it's a hardware issue, but I was just curious if anyone else has encountered this and found a fix?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] craighwk:
Have the same experience. No clue if it's normal or not. Doesn't seem to be too huge of a deal when held from a distance.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] tbot:
True, but the phone call quietness is what kills me.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Omeg:
I have also noticed this, although for me it doesn't affect the volume of my calls that significantly, so I don't know if mine is just not as bad as yours, or what. But yeah, it's weird. Kinda defeats the purpose of the whole "stereo speaker" thing...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ex2j:
Same here. I guess, i ll try to repair it next week.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] pbarakhsan:
what rom do you use?

do you use the stock rom or a custom rom?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] tbot:
Doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I use, from stock to kitkat it still does the same thing, which makes me believe its hardware...

At this point I'm just waiting for the z1s to come out haha
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] pbarakhsan:
too many problems?

forgot to ask. does it matter if beats is off or on?

i had the microphone issue with my phone a while ago, but i fixed it by blowing in to the hole lol

i want to get another phone as well, but i might just wait until s5 or 6 comes out. definitely no more HTC
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] tbot:
Doesn't matter as far as beats goes...and HTC has done me well, this is the first issue I've had with any of the many phones of theirs I've had...just bored with it I guess.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Alemg:
Hello guy this is my first thread so I want to say hello everybody!

The main problem that i have is that after flashing CM10 mentioned here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2444015) i can't charge my phone ,everything else works correctly ,i've encountered this problem on all CM10s. Although if i flash back the stock rom it works normally.

So can please someone tell me why can't i charge and if possible can someone give a link to a stable version of CM10

Thank you!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] timetex:
For all of my last phones (SPV E200, C500) I've used the Brodit "Proclip" mounting system. I also used a Brodit base for my Ipaq, onto which I attached my Seidio holder.

I intend to use the MDA Pro for Sat Nav in the car, therefore I need (ideally) an active holder for it, with power input from the bottom, so I can sit the MDA Pro in landscape, with the screen facing out, so I can see my TomTom.

At the moment, by swivelling the screen, I can rest the base between the gear lever and aircon knobs of my S4, but it is way too low.

Brodit aren't showing anything on their website yet.

I don't favour "universal" style mounts which grip the device using ratchet arms - I like to be able to slot the phone / PDA straight in like a cradle.

I don't need the cradle to offer anything else (GPS, power to GPS, speakers or anything like that) simply need it to hold (and possibly power) the MDA Pro. If it doesn't power, I'll simply wire a charging cable into my electrics and leave it terminating close by, so when I slot into passive cradle, I just connect the power manually. Active solution preferred tho!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
I contacted Akron about a Jas Jar car mount and received this resonse:

I think there should be many options soon, just need to give the accessory developers a little bit of time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] skearon:
I contacted Brodit earlier this month and received a prompt response saying they should have an active holder available at the end of this month
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] galt:
The toyota echo has an almost perfect little cubby for the Universal to rest in.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] timetex:
That's excellent news. I always found the Arkon stuff slightly "plastic"...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] 155:
Such a big phone for such a small car lol.

I'd almost consider carving out a whole in my dash like that. Only problem is how to activate voice command???

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] CJSnet:
I have been liaising in quite some depth with Brodit about this. The current state of affairs is:

1. A holder won't be available for 2-4 weeks

2. It will be passive, not active (i.e. just a lump of plastic, no charger)

3. It will hold the device vertical, not horizontal

What a waste of time! :roll: All good SatNav systems have a horizontal screen. Of course in-car we want it held horizontally, with a charger. Presumably the guys at Brodit all drive cars with vertically oriented windscreens! :lol:

Any other 'active' car kits anyone knows about coming soon?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] skearon:
Thats a BIG disappointment!

Do you know if the passive holder will have the space to allow a charging cable to be plugged in ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] CJSnet:
Yes, just got this response:

“ The holder will be with a tilt swivel and You should be able to both have it horizontal and vertical. You should also be able to have it both with the screen flipped in both ways. The only thing is that You have to put the charging cable manually each time.

Re: Brodit has a carholder for the 9000/MDAPro/Jasjar etc

That's a nice neat holder (thanks for the link :) ) but sadly not powered. I was really hoping for an all-in-one holder/charger/audio interface. :(

Maybe O2 will launch one..... before 2008. ;)

New, Active holder !
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] timetex:
Which is exactly like the passive holder! 8)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] CJSnet:
Not quite, it has the charger included and attached to the holder, with a short cable that is loose for connection manually to the device after inserting into the cradle. The passive holder doesn't come with a charger, or a holder for the cable.

However I have literally just received the passive holder, and using my existing car charger and a small self-adhesive black cable-clip stuck to the back of the passive holder, it is essentially just the same, only £19.99 instead of £34.99, and available now instead of in 2-3 weeks :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] CJSnet:
Warning: There is a major design flaw with both the Brodit holders. Part of the bracket unnecessarily covers the left speaker. When using SatNav this means that 50% of the speakers are covered, so effectively 50% of the volume is lost. A BIG problem when driving on a noisy motorway. I'm sending mine back.

Anyone know of an alternative out there?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] griffog:
I used a Dremmel to cut a slot for the left hand speaker, I'm still not sure it's needed as I can't yet detect a noticeable increase in volume with the slot present but will conduct some tests.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] timetex:
Mine arrived. I've put it on the right hand side of my steering wheel (RHD car) and its pretty good. Looks a bit squashed in - my previous phone (C500) had plenty of space - but as the fuse box is over that side, and I plan to run a cable directly to the car's electrics (like I've done for my GPS) this is the easiest location to put it. I've got the Proclip for the centre vent, so might change it later on...

No issues with sound quality. Clear as a bell.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] GMTRB5:
Darren - is that the passive or active holder?

Looks good !
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] griffog:
It's the Active version.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] GMTRB5:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] griffog:
No, it's Part No: 968649 Exec/Jasjar Active Holder.

I had an early sample but it should be in stock at retailers now or very soon.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] griffog:
Update: Brodit have taken on board the issue regards the lack of a slot for the left hand speaker and have now incorporated one into the production.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] kevinnugent:
Why not make a passive version for those of us who've already spent money on a car charger? The active one here (Australia) works out to over $100 (plus $40 odd for the pro clip bracket).

Ermm...don't mind me....just read back and found the part no. 848649 Passive holder... :oops:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Airax:
The brodit holder has holes on the back which lets you clip it on. The other one in the link looks like it has the same setup, so I'd guess the two would work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] griffog:
No it doesn't, the Brodit mount has screw holes, you need a HR Adapter if you wish to clip it on but at £20 odd for the adapter alone it's way too expensive.

Yes, they do have the cut out speaker on left of cradle also. If you do not want a pro clip system, I also have the goosenecks in stock for the exec too.

Passives in stock now, Actives already selling fast to pre orders, more due Tuesday morning, thats why I have symapthy with other UK suppliers, although sorry to hear fellow XDA Dev users having nightmares too.

Brodit Passive Holder and Windshield Mount for the USA?

I'm looking for the Brodit passive holder for the JasJar and a compatible windshield mount with an adjustable goose-neck, I'm in the US. www.proclipusa.com doesn't appear to carry either, although I understand they are the US distributor.

Car-puter!

I wanted to tell everyone what a great experience I had ordering from Bryson (David), even though I'm in the USA and he's in the UK, I had him quote me price and delivery on a passive holder and goose-neck mount before I found it available at ProClip USA for about $10 cheaper after factoring in shipping. I thanked him for his help (he had answered many questions I had asked very quickly and politely) and told him I was able to find it in the states. Well, despite my repeated requests to have them confirm that the Brodit device holder that they offered was the new design with the hole for the left speaker, Proclip still shipped me one of the old design. To their credit, they were prompt in issuing an RMA and sending a shipping tag to return their merchandise, but I was frustrated and immediately placed my order with Bryson because I knew he had confirmed that he had the new design holder.

Well, the merchandise arrived a few days ago but I held out till Christmas to try it all out. The quality of both the mount and the device holder is fantastic! The goose-neck mount is very stiff so the device doesn't move when you press a button, the holder tilts to a new position only when moved very firmly - I'm very happy with my purchase!

Big thanks to David/Bryson for all his help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Tron_Of_Borg:

Got a Brodit hardmounted and hardwired into the car.

Things to bear in mind though:

1) Thieves are breaking into cars purely because they can see the PDA mount suckered onto the windscreen.

2) Police have been cracking down and fining owners of badly positioned in car PDA / Stand Alone Sat-Nav devices. ie within the precribed clear field of view.

3) Some scallys have been breaking into cars then the glove-boxes purely because they have seen the marks made by the large sucker employed here and by TomTom in the hope that there is one stashed in the car.

Maybe something to consider... hence why mine is out of sight but still operational with one finger (using TTN 5.21, phone etc).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] numanoids:
Has anyone seen legislation stating what the police percieve to be bad positioning of said systems?

I heard about this on the radio and have seen nothing to indicate if I am breaking the law or not.

It would be much better in my opinion for them to tell us where is not acceptable so we can prevent being pulled over on the way to work or wherever else.
