closing works but not the answer

I had the skey program set to close apps except the ones I specified but truthfully this isn'th the best answer. WM5 progs take to long to initially load so I like to leave them open to have the speedy appearance of a treo650. The list of programs I had set to minimize on close with skey was more than available memory would be able to handle.

I did check on a hardware solution and it appears that on WM5 devices we are out of luck. PPCtechs tried on a few treo 700W's with no luck memory size is hard coded into the OS.

Shame too since I'm almost a convert to this device for hacking reasons. For business use the Palm OS treo's kill WM5 devices and that's shamefull since OS updates have been almost nonexistent. Heck even palm os can use 4 gig cards with fat32.

Anyway different thread i've found enough third party software to make my wizard experience close to the treo's. I must say this though no matter what I have done this is not a one handed use device. it requires the pen too often.

Cheers

Im having an issue with bluetooth when I have my headset connected and I get a notification or the phone rings I get the sound through the phone speaker and the headset. anyone having this? im using the PLT_M55

Audio

I initially had the issue with the front speakers not working but there's a crude work around: plug some headphones in and you'll notice that the audio plays fine and sounds great>go into settings scroll down and you'll notice that boomsound is off>turn it on>unplug headphones>Profit

Not ideal but a "work around"

I notice the boom sound icon does not appear in the status bar anymore after enabling this, both with headphones and without. Although, without headphones, the boom sound setting is grayed out and shows enabled.

With headphones, it lets me toggle the boom sound setting on, but it doesn't stick. After turning it on, when I go back in to settings, its off again.

This normal?

Edit: as I read back, I see this was discussed.....:screwy::rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] chemjb:
After thinkering with the default.xml file.

I concluded that you cant have boomsound and harman enabled at the same time. It seems to me they cancel each other.

So when I enabled harman I went to the bottom of the file and set to false boomsound support and harman setting works great. I do noticed the changes in sound when toggling the switches.

Overall conclusion. Harman is better on the speakers really excells.

On headphones boomsound is a little better just a little.

Bluetooth they both suck. I hate the no support for bluetooth on either harman or boomsound.

Blows since I use a lot of bluetooth speakers.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] uh60james:
I'm not sure if it does anything but you can enable Beats by doing the same thing.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Ph33zy:
I enabled each one at a time, but they all sound the same to me. Maybe I just have crappy hearing.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] weidnerj:
Ph33zy, I was thinking the same thing. I could tell when Beats was on or off on the M7, just a bass enhancement. But turning Beats or the Harman/Kardon option feels like the placebo effect. Makes you feel better but no real benefit.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sandman9043:

You have to read through the whole thread to see the default.xml modifications required to enable the menu option. It's not factory enabled on the early release M8s.

Thank you very much so it's in there just not by default enabled this would be great for a rom extra

I haven't found a way to enable this option that doesn't prevent sound output from the speakers in some apps (stock Music being the most obvious/evident). I've tried every combination, so I'm curious to know if/how anyone was able to get it to work.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] metalfan78:
I have the same issue Captain, the beats audio works fine, but no sound comes out with Harman kardon enabled.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sandman9043:

It could fit perfectly if that's the case like if has for a particular firmware update in order to enable it?

Are you guys changing boomsound to false? Speakers work fine for me after doing that.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, like I said, I tried every combination, and on any one with the harman option enabled, I don't get sound from at least one of my music apps.

STEPS TO ENABLE HARMAN AND MUSIC CHANNEL AND DISABLE BOOMSOUND

1. Using a root browser, find: /system/customize/ACC/Default.xml

2. Open it with a text editor.

3. Under <app name=”Android Multimedia”>, find the bold line below and change it from false to true

<app name="Android_Multimedia">

<item type="integer" name="has_default_alarm_volume">6</item>

<item type="integer" name="has_default_media_headset_volume">7</item>

<item type="integer" name="has_default_media_speaker_volume">10</item>

<item type="integer" name="has_default_ringtone_volume">5</item>

<item type="boolean" name="spport_screen_light">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_a2dp_safevolume">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_camera_enforce_shuttersound">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_customer_proxy">true</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_customization_fallback">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_harman">true</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_miit_request">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_music_ringtone">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_outdoor_mode">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_qcelp">false</item>

<item type="boolean" name="support_theater_effect_logo">false</item>

<item type="integer" name="use_ringtone_for_notification">1</item>

4. While you’re in there, go to the bottom of the file, and find this line to disable Boomsound so it doesn’t compete with Harman. Change true to false.

<item type="boolean" name="support_boomsound_effect">false</item>

5. Eight lines below that, you can enable Music Channel if you want (not necessary, and by some accounts, not fully functional), by changing false to true.

<item type="boolean" name="support_music_channel">true</item>

Save the changes, exit the file, and reboot, Then check your system settings again to see Harman (and Music Channel if you enabled that).

Sprint Officially Announces Harman-Kardon M8

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-announce-harman-kardon-version-htc-one-m8

Curious as to what this edition actually changes, if anything, other than color and inclusion of the $149 earbuds. Especially considering the phone already has a FM Radio that works. Though, if you use Spotify and don't have their premium service, I could see that as being a plus as well but you have to be on a Framily plan.

I've been running the Bad Boyz Harman ROM for the last few days and it's been working fine.

Edit: Though, looks like it was edited into the article already that it confirms early suspicions that it was the same M8 that everyone already had. Looks like the only difference might be the earbuds and special "offers".

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] skizzled:
No, Sprint hasn't said anything about adding the software presets to the "regular" M8s. Though, I'm starting to doubt they would as they already have the Boomsound software on M8s in circulation. This is a special deal they made with Harman-Kardon and I just don't see it happening as it would lessen the appeal of getting one of the more expensive "special" devices.

Although, I could be wrong.

I'm guessing these are the same headphones included with the phone(aside from color scheme): http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-AE-High-Performance-Headphones/dp/B00A3R3T1C

The articles say they are the "AE-S" model, but a search for Harman Kardon AE-S headphones yields nothing other than links to the Sprint announcement. If they are the same as the AE, than you can just buy them for $77(possibly cheaper elsewhere), which is really only $47 more than you'd spend if you got the HK version. The rest seems to be just software enhancements which seem to have already been ported over.

Very true lol. I wont lie. I really just want it for the looks. Plus I have this "thing" where I have to have something different than the "norm".

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JohnCorleone:
The second sentence of the last paragraph here but anonymous quotes....who knows? Supposedly the M8 is 20% louder than the M7 but an audiophile dev made a Boomsound Louder mod that increased it 20%,40% or double but the 20% increase was perfect for me so I know someone will make an add on that closely matches the new version I mean the M7 has crazy options with or without headphones. I am sure it will sound great. There are a few sound die-hards in the GSM and the best option usually ends up in Viper
