Voice recognition not working

I don't know exactly what caused it, but all of a sudden all apps that require voice recognition stopped working (including search widget [mic button disappeared]). When I tried to open an app that uses it, it would come back "voice recognition not available on this device". The only thing I can think of that caused this is pushing first the Meltus v3 files and then the v5 files. Upon reviewing that thread again, there is now a big disclaimer on some faulty files included in the bt fix (which made my bt not function at all) . I'm posting this in case someone runs into the same issues. I checked my /system/app folder and both VoiceSearch.apk and VoiceDialer.apk were there.

What I did:

1. Push the Meltus v2 files to my phone

2. Opened up 1.3b12 on my pc.

3. Extracted VoiceSearch.apk and VoiceDialer.apk

4. Pushed these 2 files to /system/app

5. reboot

Everything works as it should now including bt :)

kusotare - The problem is that even when charging overnight (6-8 hours), the phone stays charging. It doesn't reach 100% in other words. It will go up to 84 and just stay at 84 until you manipulate something, like unplugging and replugging the charger, or rebooting the phone. In the case of rebooting, the phone will jump up to 99% as has been identified, but will drop back down ridiculously faster than a phone that was actually at 99%, suggesting that the phone did not reach the full charge, even when plugged in for (6-8 hours). The issue might be as benign as that, or could be more serious, like someone who posted before who stated the phone got real hot and could no longer be started, possibly killing the phone, the battery, or both.

Alritewhadeva - You contributed nothing useful, and cluttered the forum with another useless post. If you truly wanted to contribute, read the post carefully, make sure you understand what the problem is, "think", then post something intelligent. If you have nothing intelligent to say, don't. It makes you appear ignorant. Seriously...

After flashing dudes 1.3 RC1, it worked great for a week until a few days ago, things started lagging big time. It still worked, just in sloooowww moooo....

Anyways, after the phone froze just now, I pressed talk/menu/end to restart the phone (which has been successful many times before) and upon start-up, the sdcard was completely WIPED!!! This has happened 2x.....is this a common issue? Is there a fix? I lost a lot of stuff.

Also, it seems to freeze each time I unplug the usb from my pc.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Hey Metal, have you tried power cycling your battery recently? I do this on the first of every month (because my landord's trying to get ahold of me:D).

1. Turn off all battery "saving" apps (power manager, etc.)

2. Set screen to full bright and never time out.

3. Play the hell out of your phone. Music, flashlight apps, spark, etc. until phone shuts down.

4. Keep restarting phone until only led blinks when you hit power.

5. Put phone on wall charger. Do not power on or remove from charger until the led has been green for over 2 hours.

6. Repeat again next month.

I don't know if this will fix anything for you, however this is the recommended calibration for G1 Li-Ion batteries.

EDIT: Don't forget to re-enable power saving apps and set screen timeout to 1 min. or whatever

EDIT2: As so graciously brought to my attention by jinx10000, I have removed all references to "conditioning" and replaced them with "calibration" Thank you. Also, for more info see what T-mobile has to say on the subject here.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Wow thanks...I think...
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
I will try that overground. It's been about a month since I last did that, so maybe that might take care of my problem. Thank you.

tranquilchaos - I had that exact problem with the memory card on Tuesday. Luckly I had everything backed up, so I was able to put everything back on my card, but for a while, I thought it was just a random glitch or my memory card failing. No lagging or freezing though, so it may not be related.

If it makes a difference, I have a 16gb class 2 card. I DON'T do apps2sd, so class shouldn't be an issue.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Overground

First off, not trying to be argumentive, only helpful.

I deal with battery conditioning quite a bit at work.

And I am almost positive Li-Ion batteries do not suffer from a memory effect like Nickel based batteries and you should not cycle them. Best conditioning is to leave them fully charged.

However, on some smart batteries, if you are having a problem with capacity readings, a cycle can help with that. That is different from conditioning.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I'm not discounting your expertise as far as batteries go, however I have done a little research on the subject. I can't remember where I read the more technical reasons of why to do this. These steps were given on T-mobile, which can be viewed here. Sorry if I've given out bad information.

I've edited my previous post to correct errors...thanks jinx10000!
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Great post. Thanks.

I have little experience with smart batteries.

I did not know that smart batteries needed to be cycled that often. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

I definitely am not a battery expert and would follow what T-Mobile suggests.

This is one site that I have used in the past for battery information. I see that it does say to cycle batteries with fuel gauges (smart batteries) about every thirty charges.

[G1 Android Development] gospeed.racer:
The batteries do not develop a memory, but the device does...sort of. The device is what you are calibrating by running the batteries flat. It is known as "Digital Memory". Sorry to stay off topic, but I was just reading up on this a week ago :)

The entire SDCard was wiped or just the /system/sd/ partition?

I had a problem with my sdcard slowing down and containing corruption on a different rom and running fsck from that rom seemed to fix it up.

There is an option in Cyanogen's Pimped Out Recovery Image to fix problems with the ext2/ext3 partition, but I am not sure that it works with this rom.

I just started having a strange issue after flashing RC2...

My SD card will not mount. The LED is on, so the USB is connected and charging the phone, but when i tried to mount the card it tells me i must connect to my pc first.Tried formatting the card within the phone...no go, removed the card and it works fine in a card reader, tested and no problems.

Phone works fine, Astro shows the SD Card contents and full space....but cannot mount the card with PC.

Tried to install Apps2SD, seems to work, tells me to reboot, then locks on G1 splash screen. Had to pull the battery to get to recovery screen

Hey Im in Guangzhou... use a program called freegate it can help you in CHina.

Whats the biggets difference between this and the rogers build?

Advantages/disadvantages?

I cant sync my contacts through gmail and ht sync for some reason I have tried alt+W and alt+s twice and I still cant get my contacts to synch, so I may switch to this build...

But what are the big differences? I tried to read your explanation but couldnt see the differences...

RC2 WiFi works fine for me

I downloaded RC2 right over the top of my RC1 with no wipe and have no WiFi issues at all ! Came up connected to my home network on bootup after I flashed RC2. I really think you may be looking at some other issue (hardware, WiFi you are connecting to maybe??) but problem doesn't appear to be with TheDude's ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
i flashed it on top of beta12. no wifi- flashed straight back to beta12 and it worked perfectly again..... oh well, will try downloading it again tomorrow maybe......too late now.

Don't get too excited out there in DudeRom-Land, I am not certain, but judging from the traffic in the other thread, I think this post was meant for the Rogers ROM guys, not us "Duders". Pretty sure RC2 is all we get today! :p Which by the way is working like a champ for me so far! :D

Market working, now issues with call audio

Hey Dude!

I flashed today from 1.3RC1 to 1.3RC2 and that resolved my market issue reported yesterday(wipe + flash). Everything works fine except 2 things:

1. And this is a issue reported by others: bluetooth works for music but not for call audio

2. The call audio volume on the handset drives me insane it's set to maximum and I can do whatever I want it doesn't come down!!! Unfortunately this is not only bad for my ear, but gives away all my privacy when on the phone... is there something I could try to avoid this?

Thank you again for your dedication and: 1.3 really rocks! I came from your 1.0 build and I must say my phone now fells so fast and smooth!!! Great work so far!

Everything works great here after newest release... MSI Blutetooth works great, I can hear and be heard no problem. All apps seem to work quite well. Its fast and doesnt have the sleep refresh problem I had with rogers and everything synchs fine. Wifi is great too. Apps to SD was completely automatic with my card. I made 2 partitions.. 1 7000 mb fat 32 and one 1000 mb ext 3 with partition magic and all I had to do was load the rom. no playing with caches or anything...

I did notice the EXTERNAL speaker, on ringtones is much quieter than the rogers build. I used the dudes previous release for the last month or two and it was always quiet. I noticed with the rogers release the external mic on ringtones was nice and loud and clear. Id like to have that again!
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Dude, quick question about sysctl.

I see this one-liner in the beginning of a2sd:

Does this mean /etc/sysctl.conf is read automatically? There is therefore no need to add a call to it from init.rc, correct?

I didn't notice a huge difference applying this tweak on 1.3 b12. What do you have your vfs_cache_pressure set at? 10 or 200? Are you using a swapfile on sd? I don't have this, so maybe that's why I didn't see much of a difference, and I left mine at 10.

Apps stays no matter what

First of all - awesome build as usual.

I had an interesting issue with it tho , I tried to WIPE all the info prior and after the install , but since I have most of my apps using APPS2SD , they are not being deleted ....

Not that it bothers me , just wanted to let you all know
[G1 Android Development] overground:
That's because a wipe does not touch your sd card, so anything there will still be there post-wipe. It only wipes internal memory.

What apps2sd am I running?

I know we have been flooded with apps2sd Issues but can't find an answer to this after searching a lot of threads here.

I setup my 8gb SD class 6 card. Ran the scripts (upgrade_fs etc) but I see the internal mem go down from the 900 or so mb and SD stays at 6gb+ like I expect. But apps2sd 2 reports different sizes than the settings page does.

Is there a simple way to tell if your running apps2sd correctly and if you are ext2 or ext3?
[G1 Android Development] tannyfiles:
I had the same issue. I simply restarted my PC,and it worked...:)
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Apps to SD 2 app will report your internal memory and ext correctly. Checking memory from settings will show a combination of the 2. Sounds like it's set up correctly.
[G1 Android Development] bofslime:

[G1 Android Development] jklong03:
Here's what I see

Well, when I run the apps2sd 2 application it reports:

Free Internal mem 63MB/94MB

Free SD Mem: 919MB/10666MB

When I look at the SD Card & Phone Storage page in settings, I see:

SD Total 6,572MB with 6,386MB available

Internal Phone Storage Available 877MB

How do I reconcile the differences?

I just d/l'ed Goggle Maps V3.1.1 and Apps2sd 2 now reports 62MB/94MB and SD card went down to 916MB from 919MB. OK, looks like its working? The settings page info showed no change on the SD space available but the Internal phone memory dropped to 874MB from its previous 877MB. I tend to trust the phone settings page but I just don't understand why apps2sd 2 (V 2.15) doesn't reflect similar infomation. :confused:

Not trying to be argumentative here, but keep in mind that xda-developers is a place for developers and experimenters, not a distribution site for polished and "official" company backed releases.

(getting on soapbox)

If we want that kind of ROM code we need to go back to stock, unroot our phone and let the "official" updates happen when and if our phone carrier decides we need them!

As a forum for experimenters, I don't expect TheDudeofLife to be hanging onto every little problem we report and spending his own free time chasing bugs in his excellent work. If we know enough to dare to flash fresh ROMs to our rooted phone, we shouldn't carp about having to do a few extra steps to correct problems we see.

That reminds me, have you tried hooking up and doing an adb remount? If it reports device not present, then I would strongly look at my USB first and then the obligitory "wipe and reflash" next.

having market force close issues? use backup software?

used Backup for Root Users to save my data and system settings, Wiped, flashed RC2, rebooted, restored data and phone settings, market force closed, rebooted again, market still force closed.

rewiped, reflashed, rebooted, no data or phone setting restore, market works, restored app data only, market still works.

if youre having market force close issues, you might want to try that.
