Has anyone gotten the DroidCumulus App to wok on Android 2.1? I have a Droid Incredible and installed this app, but all it does is buffer. So disappointed! :(

All I'm looking to do is a way to stream The Ticket sport radio station out of Dallas. Anyone know of a way to do so?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] yossio:
hey guys,

I'm struggling for a while now with oppenning a file using media player.

I'm developing an app that will stream ESC (eurovison song contest) radio.

problem is, thier link to asx file opens fine both in desktop MP, and in tcpmp, but not in media player mobile.

you can go to esc radio dot com to get it.

(can't post links here)...

I've tried the trick of adding "/*" to the url, with no succsses...

other asx files tend to work...

I want to use WMPLib class in c# to open an instance of wmp programatically and play the stream from inside the app.

anyone can help???

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wonderous:
if it works on desktop wmp, there should be no problem. My asx files play fine, check ur link
[Windows Mobile Software Development] yossio:
http://www.escradio.com/listen.asx

try downloding that file.

works for me in WMP but not in MP mobile

opnened it in notped, tried editing it but nothing...

used htc hd2 and diamond (both wm6.5).

thanks.

my nexus ones headphone jack is faulty, it doesnt output to the left speaker anymore. ive done everything possible to fix it and nothing has worked permermantly.

unfortunatly ive rooted my device which has voided my warranty. im absolutly positive this had nothing to do with the headphone problem, as its a physical issue with the jack and not software

will they refuse to swap my device because ive rooted?

is it possible to relock the bootloader to factory default yet?

do you need to be the original owner to device swap? i bought mine new off craigslist so it wasnt bought in my name.

is there a water damage sticker in the headphone jack? (i tried cleaning it with a q tip moistened with alcohol to fix it and if there is one i may have tripped it)

i really like this phone and i use it as my ipod now but its so annoying only having audio in one earpeice, and when i plug it into my car the right plays fine but the left makes awful static noises due to the fm transmitter not getting a signal on the left channel.

[Nexus One General] melterx12:
worst that can happen is they say no.
[Nexus One General] anosis:
Yep, just give it a try. Be prepared to tell them that rooting the device is likely not the cause of one audio channel to go out - What I mean is that you should be prepared to defend the fact the phone is rooted but your not sending it in because you bricked it but because a hardware related issue needs fixing and that this is in no way related to you rooting the phone.

Good luck.

PS: I highly doubt there is a water mark sticker in the phone jack inlet.
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
thanks allot guys.

the worst thing that can happen is i send it in and they refuse charging me 28 dollars and shipping charges. on the site it says i call them and they will ship me a new one with a box for the old one and i send the old one back.

ill call htc today and be completely honest with them, hopefully they will be understanding.
[Nexus One General] htc fan89:
let us know what they say
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
i called in and was honest with them and they immediately said too bad you have to pay 200 dollars to replace the mother board even though its their own d@mn fault.

rooting it has no control over headphone jack hardware, but the man on the phone said regardless of that as stated in the tos it voids all warranties by rooting it.

even though people have been saying that they still honor hardware warranties after rooting this is not true.

so now ive given up on being honest and im going to find a way to kill my phone along with any rooting evidence without voiding my warranty.

if they didnt trap the consumer into voiding their warranty they would simply have to fix the headphone jack and they could resell the phone as refurbished, now they will have to replace the whole thing. assholes.

if you call in about warranty issues DO NOT give them your serial and imei number unless your sure they are going to replace it.
[Nexus One General] x986123:
Call Google first, they may help you somehow. If not, sell it on ebay, people buy Nexus ones with minor faults (or any other electronics) for slightly less, but still better then having crap.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Bwahahaha... HTC didn't TRAP you into rooting. Did they force you to do it? Did they hold a gun to your head? Did they not WARN you in documentation AND on the phone's screen that unlocking the bootloader VOIDS the warranty?

I'm tired of people trying to blame HTC, as if somehow they made you do it. Here's an idea... if you want to keep your warranty... DON'T ROOT. The phone's amazing with the stock ROM anyway. I'm happy not having to update every few days when a Developer releases an incremental update, etc. And if you DO choose to root...man up and take responsibility.
[Nexus One General] htc fan89:
But, clearly it's not software related, it's not related to him rooting his phone. It's the headphone jack, and that's hardware. So, No one can far seen hardware malfunction before hand, unless you have "super natural powers".
[Nexus One General] dcarr622:
Mr. uansari1, do you work for HTC or something? I understand your logic, HTC didn't force him to root it, but I don't think it's humanly possible that rooting caused the headphone jack malfunction. The guy shouldn't have to pay $200 just to fix a headphone jack that costs $3 to fix.

If I put custom wheels on my car and my car stereo breaks, should I have to pay out of pocket to replace the whole thing? I don't think so.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I don't work for HTC. I'm simply a law student who's taken Contracts...

Anyway, I agree with you. Rooting probably doesn't cause the headphone jack to malfunction. But the legal system holds the power of parties to enter into contracts very highly. So... if YOU agree to keep or void the warranty on your own and you're not forced into it, then the law recognizes that as a valid and binding agreement.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
uansar1 = the Judge Judy of N1 forums =]

glad to have you here brotha :D
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Lol... at least make me the Judge Joe Brown! Seriously though... I don't particularly like that you have to void the warranty to unlock the bootloader... but I do understand that since we are given the option to leave it locked to keep our warranty and that the phone "works fine without unlocking the bootloader", any court would laugh at a lawsuit against HTC by one of us regarding this..
[Nexus One General] GazzaK:
I wonder if UK law is slightly different, as over here (using the car euphemism) if I were to modify my engine, and then had issues with my lets say brakes, they would still be under warranty.

it'd only be parts directly affected by my modifications with which warranty would be able to be made invalid (engine pretty much, unless my modifications caused extra power in which case maybe gearbox too)

but I am not a lawyer and I know nuffink!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
U.S. law is like that too when it comes to cars. (American law is based on British law, you know ;)) But the car euphemism is a horrible example. I've had this same argument in another thread as well.

A better euphemism is to just think of the CD player in your car. If you remove it and disassemble it thinking you might be able to change the color of the LEDs inside it, and then it no longer works, will the manufacturer replace it for you? No...
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
That's not better! By your analogy the OP has tried to change something with the headphone jack and now it doesn't work.

Car warranties are far more complex and detailed anyway so you can't compare them. Sadly, the warranty on a phone is all or nothing and by unlocking the device, you invalidated the entire warranty. True, the headphone jack would have broken just the same without unlocking the device but that's irrelevant as far as HTC's legal commitment to you goes. Some manufacturers will still do warranty work in this kind of situation purely out of the desire to keep good customer relations (Samsung replaced my Omnia when I had done all kinds of hacking and custom rom installs) but if they don't, that's entirely their legal right.

Unfortunately, telling them you had unlocked probably did you no favours. If it was me, I'd have kept quiet unless they apecifically ask
[Nexus One General] elite_is3:
im confident that the Manufacturer stands to protect themselves from warranty abuse by stating they wont cover modified devices. its unfortunate but not surprising at all
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
No. By my analogy, the OP has "gone into" his phone, thus voiding the warranty. It's just like taking your phone apart and removing those little "VOID" stickers on the screws. You're right... car warranties are far more complex because it's a variety of devices assembled into a vehicle, whereas our phone is a single unit.

HTC was covering the phones even with unlocked bootloaders for a while... I believe for the same reason you suggested. I tried telling people not to rely on that and they could start denying claims anytime. But few people listen...they just ***** afterwards.
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
i think it is a trap. do you know what type of people will buy a phone off the internet without ever holding it solely based on the technical specifications? the type of people that will root it, and more often than not root it successfully. if i decided hey lets overclock my processor and enable the flashlight at full brightness then stick it under my pillow overnight then yes, its my own damn fault. but if htc is refusing to fix a problem caused by their own inability to design a functional headphone jack that can withstand normal wear and tear, especially after 2 months, because i rooted it which has no control over the headphone jack, then yes, it is a trap.

they never put this lock on their other phones. my rooting this had nothing to do with the headphone jack whatsoever, its their fault they should fix it. i understood the risks and decided to root under the pretense that this was a quality piece of hardware and it wasn't gonna crap out on me unless i decided to play with the battery while flashing the radio or something. if i knew there was a high chance of hardware failure inherit in the device i never would have rooted.

so dont come to me *****ing and whining when anyone who is refused a refund for something that is htc's fault for a stupid reason is correct in blaming the company.

upon closer reading of the tos it voids your warranty to sell the device, technically you can only receive support if you are the original owner.

this is a slime ball way of htc voiding the warranty on a high percentage of their devices for actions that have no effect on the health of the device.

i will take responsibility for something i did wrong, but i wont fall prey to a large companies bull****.

if you dont have something helpful to say, quit trolling on the internet.

[Nexus One General] brandenk:
I am in the same boat with HTC

My power button stopped working, forcing me to press the power button dozens of times at different angles and pressures to get my phone to turn on or off. This is a hardware issue totally unrelated to unlocking the phone yet now I am a victim of being sent defective hardware and I have no recourse on my $550 phone. Its just seems odd that I can spend top dollar on a phone and get the worst customer support of my life when it comes to phones. Next time I will gladly sign a 2 year contract to get to deal with Tmobile instead of HTC. **** even my dad has a modded droid and he is on his second replacement without a single question asked......hell the last time they even sent him a phone when he said he probably didnt need a replacement, they said no worries and sent him one anyways JUST TO MAKE SURE he was well taken care of. When I spend 3x more on a device to get the best available instead of the average, I sure would hope the customer supports backs it up.
[Nexus One General] iamwhoamnot:
exactly. its just plain wrong. in cases like these where there is not even a shadow of a doubt that there is some sort of warranty fraud they should not hassle us. in the end it may give them a better bottom line on the nexus one but they have lost all respect from me. i bought my mother a nexus one because i liked it so much, luckily she still has a week to return it so i think im going to tell her just to go back to her iphone.
[Nexus One General] persiansown:
I called HTC about a week and a half ago when it stopped detecting my simcard. They replaced it with no questions asked even though I told them the bootloader was unlocked.
[Nexus One General] perplx:
I got my phone on Monday, flashed it then noticed a speck of dust under the screen today. I called and told them it was rooted and they said I'm out of luck (after the guy talked to the manager). It's a really minor thing though. I'm going to wait for an unroot, or maybe disassemble it myself if it really bugs me.
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
I'm in a similar boat; had the N1 since week one, and the dust under the screen is getting worse and worse. I called last week about sending it in, and mulling over the 24 dollar fee for diagnosis, or the 529 account hold to swap it out via cross-shipping it. The phone is rooted, and the guy didn't ask about it...but worried they'll put a 529 hold on my account, and then charge me when they find out it's rooted...

Either that...or tear it apart myself...

Any thoughts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] isjr:
I have had the payed version of Lock 2.0 since there was an option to buy but since I got my Nexus One it has now become pretty much unusable. The sad part is that it is better than the lock button that is on the top of the phone cause it lets you bring up the lock screen by pressing your track ball. I love all the different back grounds and sounds you can download and how they stay in a folder and not in your app draw (which is really annoying). Now the thing I don't like is that when you press the volume buttons when the phone is locked you can and will turn down or up the volume on accident and this is why this app is now unusable. Can it really be that hard to add an option to disable these buttons? I have emailed Android Apps and they say the reason the volume button does that is for when you are listening to music and thats great but whats the use if when you get a call or text and you can't hear it cause you turned the volume down to 0 on accident. I emailed them today again and asked if they could update their app and I hope they do. The reason I started this thread is so anybody could comment on this problem with I have to say is probably my second favorite app on the market. I will also email them a link to this thread so they can see what everybody thinks. One more thing on another lock app LockBot when you press the volume button the sound does not get turned down but I don't want to really pay for two apps that can do the same thing. Edit: OK they fixed it but their is a new problem with the home button.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
What rom are you using?

Cyanogens latest has an option for trackball wake-up (and of course that mod can be applied to other roms as well) if that is indeed the biggest thing about it you like. I personally never saw the need to change my lockscreen from stock, but can understand why some people do.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] isjr:
I am using the stock rom, I didn't want to root this phone since you void your warranty and mine is pretty messed up I should get a replacement this week. Also I am glad Cyanogen added that and that tells you it is a problem in the stock or he wouldn't have had to improve on it. So people like me only have the option of downloading an app to get the same results. Also I have used a rooted phone before, I had been using my Google Ion rooted for about 6 months before I got my Nexus One.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] isjr:
Ok I just got an email from the developer and they have disabled the volume buttons by default on the new version :D that was fast. Now there is a weird problem where even after you set the Launcher as the default for your home button it still keeps opening Lock 2.0, its really annoying but I already told them so I'm sure they will fix it. Now if only Google would respond like this for their "Support Forums" on fixing the 3G and Touchscreen problems the world would be a better place.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
I understand the issue with the volume keys. I don't listen to music so i installed the app (ringer mode locker) by kaa from the market. It overrides the system setting and locks on your choose of settings: vibrate, ringer silent etc. If you volume up or down it stays on you set point. I like if because it is not a background app using extra battery trying to monitor a set point.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Eclair~:
Please don't critisize Google like this, 3G issues and Touchscreen problems are not simple applications in which code can be modified to turn off the "Volume" buttons.. I've noticed the employees on their forums try to solve things to the best of their abilities - but Google can not just correct everything as if it takes a small flick of the wrist, or click of a mouse...

Honestly I don't see how they will fix any 3G issue entierly without modifiying the insides of the phone.. guess I dont know enough about phones to make such a conclusion anyways.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] travon802:
I emailed them about this a couple of weeks ago. I told them exactly that and I got a "Steve Jobs-like" response lol..

"Something is wrong with your phone."

I even posted about it a couple of times in the Q&A section but got no responses. I'm glad to see someone on a stock ROM is experiencing the same issue because I thought it was due to using CM. Are you using an auto task-killer?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] frankzua77:

I want to get rid of my lockscreen! :mad: its anoying having to press the power button then unlock the screen! :mad::(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Get "KeyGuard disabler" from the market. It costs 1.49 but does exactly what you want. I'm sure there are free versions of similar software too but this is only one i've ever tried.

wow dude just tried it! works perfect! thanks man!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dsipma:
Meh....

After installing and trying to use it, I finally gave up. It has the potential to be by far one of the best android apps. The developer has designed programs that mesh with android so natively that I am jealous of his understanding. But even after a few reinstallations, this program never delivered. A replacement lockscreen must be more than just pretty. It wasn't sized right for the Nexus One screen and constantly froze "Updating List", even when I was just trying to unlock. The "Updating List" freeze causes a loop that just recalled the freeze when I hit home. There is no escape short of hitting menu, more, home, then selecting my home screen program. I would consider that a lock screen fail if I have to navigate a menu to select a home screen instead of sliding the sexy little slider over. I hate taking refunds from the market, but Lock 2.0 needs more work. If I see anyone saying it has been adjusted for the N1 screen and the home bug has been fixed, I'll buy it again, but until then, I'll stick with the just weather and toggle widgets.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ChillRays:
I hear that Lock 2.0 disables notifications on the Nexus One. Does anybody know of any apps thats just as attractive as Lock 2.0 that doesn't disable notifications or freeze.. etc.. (something iphone-ish i guess)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elio:
Any news about the home button bug bypassing the lock screen in Lock 2.0?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] isjr:
As far as a can tell its been working good and the dev added the option to clear the home screen default if it does it again. Its pretty sad that he left it messed up for months until I sent him the link to this thread.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elio:
Thanks, but I was referring to another bug (unless I'm totally mistaken):

When you turn on your nexus and you're still on Lock 2.0 lock screen, if you press the home button, it unlocks the phone without having to use the slider.

Hope this was clear...

hi -

is it possible to change the GC schedule to run when the phone is idle or when the CPU is below a certain threshold. Currently when ever the GC runs it runs when the user app needs memory, thus contributing to the need. trying to check if any one has changed the dalvik GC scheduler ?:)
[Android Software Development] ady:
GC does not do anything extensive.

All it does is to mark certain memory locations as free in the global memory table. This hardly contributes to any processing overhead and thus, there is no need for it to try and clean up after intervals.

Trying to do anything like that would be over-optimization and would lead to degraded performance and battery life.

Before I got my HD2 i had a Nokia N95, for that i had a piece of software called SymSMB, which allowed my phone to appear on my pc as a computer in my network, it meant i could then drag and drop files between any folders or drives that i wanted to share.

I was wondering if there is anything like this for the HD2 floating around.

an overview of what symSMB could do if you're wondering.

Closest I got to anything similar was a remote access app i found on here some time ago. If you search the threads you should find it.

Gave you access via browser to all files and folders, can stream video/audio and move files about. Also in beta version you could remote desktop (or remote mobile?) and control it for specific function (used it to help a friend one, needed a few tweaks in his registry :D ) Sorry, cant remember who made it but im sure it was free.

Hope this helps :( On the other hand atleast you know its out there ;)
