I'm pretty annoyed with the beep that my tattoo makes every time a call ends. Now that we have root, has anyone figured which files do we need to edit/delete so we can getr rid of that obnoxious sound? It's not possible to disable it in the Settings, it's there even when Silent mode is enabled.

Edit: Explanation: immediately the other person answers the call, my phone vibrates. That's what I'm referring to as a before-the-call sound.

UPDATE: If anyone wants to disable the welcome screen sound (when the green creature dances around), go to

and delete

(i recommend that you backup the file to sdcard.)
[Click Android Development] coolbits:
It vibrates so you dont have to hold the phone on your ear and you still know when that person answers...

It's a cool feature.
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
...and the beep lets you know that the caller has hung up.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
it surely will drain considerable amount of battery from tattoo... first of all we are worried that battery back up is not that good (1100 mah)...

@coolbits: r u on a cost cutting mode ??? you think we can reduce the call costs from this ??? what will we do if we come to know that other person hung up the phone or has recieved our call ????

r you so busy so that you make a call and continue working on other things till that person recieves your call ????

please dont get offended by this, all i am saying this is its worthless & with weak battery, this function was not called for..... thats all. i dont have any intention of hurting anyone's sentiments....

i thought of giving you the reasons what we all are thinking about that feature.....

hope someday we have he liberty to choose whether we want it on tattoo or not... otherwise it will not make it as a cool feature on tattoo.... :rolleyes:
[Click Android Development] coolbits:
No but it's better not to hold the phone near your head while connecting as at that time it uses more power.

This has nothing to do with any cost and quick vibrate on answer will not drain your battery...
[Click Android Development] shears:
yeah the vibration is cool for me too, but some people might want to disable that too. personally, i'd disable the hang-up tone - it seems really useless as i know when i hang up, lol. i mean, i press the red button and all. :P
[Click Android Development] yash08:
I agree on coolbits on this one. I find the vibrating a very well thought feature. Its not abt cost or anything its just helpful, a little touch that makes life easier :p.

But we r getting off topic here. If someone could just find out how to modify these would b nice. Theres no point convincing each other that its nice or not because itll be different for each of us.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
well said yash09... that was the point i was making out of this topic.... we should have an option of enabling/disabling it... then we can agree that its a customised option for all.....:cool:
[Click Android Development] Bikers:
the vibration is ok but the hung up tone that continues after i hung up is annoying...
[Click Android Development] shears:
i updated the first post because i found a way to disable another annoying system sound.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
i am still getting that boot sound even after i deleted that file... what to do ???

If I have a laptop and I am a passenger using it in a car, can I take out the T-mobile USA version of the HD2 and have my laptop connect to it to access the internet (using the phone as a router)?
[HD2 General] vikramdhani:
May be not out of the box but you can always update it with a custom rom and get the option to use it as a router :)
[HD2 General] fadywwf316:
With this Cab installed it can I believe:

http://bwone.com/downloadsthebowmanpackpro2.zip

Take the cab file in the zip and put it on your phone then install.
[HD2 General] copualt3:
you can connect the hd2 to the laptop with the usb cable and choose the built in internet sharing application or share via bluetooth. wifi router is a paid program but also excellent program since it turns the hd2 into a wireless router.
[HD2 General] Plazmic Flame:
It's sad that they've seem to have taken out the native HTC Wifi Router app that was built into the Euro version of this phone... :(
[HD2 General] Earthbrain:
Yeah, but you can still install the application file in the USA T-mobile version of the HD2 right?
[HD2 General] flyingw:
reclaim wifi router with hard reset?

My Tilt had the native internet sharing option hidden. I received advice from this forum to do a "hard reset" followed immediately on boot up by a soft reset. It was great it took off all the AT&T garbage programs and gave back the Internet Sharing and other at&t blocked tools.

Will that work here on the T-Mobile HD2? And how?
[HD2 General] agentaaron:
Yes

Download the file in the 3rd post in this thread...unzip it on your desktop...copy the HTC WIFI sharing cab file to your HD2 SD Card...use the file explorer on your hd2 to navigate to the SD card...install...surf
[HD2 General] kwbdc:
Using the Wifi router cab worked flawlessly last week while I was in Vegas. I was using it with my macbook air and no problems.
[HD2 General] solace.discord:
so this only works for sharing a wifi connection, or will it work for using the cellular network as well?
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
When you use the WiFi Router Application, it turns your HD2 into a access point. The HD2, now an access point gets connectivity from your 3G/Edge/GPRS Data Connection and transfers it to the device ( notebook,desktop,etc) you connect to the HD2 Router application.

Simply put, you are using the HD2's data(internet) without having to connect cables.

Hope this helps clear things up for you

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] solace.discord:
sweet! this is what I was looking for.. did TMo include this application, or does it need to be installed from a separate source?

anyone try it on a mac yet? how is that set up?

edit: nevermind.. this isn't for "tethering"- it's for using your device as a wifi "hotspot", right? so I just open airport and tell it to connect to the name of my hd2 network connection...
[HD2 General] TexasBlack:
wifi sharing

followed the exactsteps works great ....tried it on my iMAC perfect .....

omarket

Download omarket from here

then search for Mobile Wi-Fi Router

works like a charm on my TMOUS
[HD2 General] pandaxownage:
i tried to connect to it and it didnt display on my wireless networks..
[HD2 General] toreone:
I wanted the wifi tethering as well, but when I installed wifi-sharing cab it kind of wigged out my phone a little. No longer allowing me to use wifi on my phone it was thinking I was trying to launch the app and would not connect to my home router. So now I use the Internet Sharing App that comes with the phone. It is super easy to use with no side effects. All you need is a USB. Just go to start/tools/internet sharing. and bingo!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
First, try changing the SSID (network name) on the phone...don't use whatever it defaults to, try "pandanet" or something.

Second, I know there's a couple of cabs floating around for the wifi router thing, the one I have attached here is the only one I got working properly..don't know if this is the same one you used or not.
[HD2 General] pandaxownage:
so we can use yours instead of the one on the third post?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You bet :) I tried the "HTC wifi sharing" cab (the one in the 3rd post here) and I never got it to work right, so I just switched to the one I attached above, and it's worked great every time. It's the one that was pulled from the stock euro HD2 ROM.

I run the haret. the BOOTING LINUX window fils the line al the way then there is no black and white running text like on X1. the start bar apeares on the bottom end of the screen. and nothing is responding.. i have waited more then 10 minutes but still nothing happens.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Lunie:
No no no! Your doing it wrong!! D:<
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
Unfortunately, due to certain hardware limitations of the X2, boot time of the X1 kernel on the X2 can take a little longer. About 1.2 seconds after the sun explodes and extinguishes all life on Earth 4 billion years in the future, is a good estimate. ;)

Sorry :D

vdelf, will you be committing regularly to gitorious? Or do you have a scratch repo for messing around with?

i always get an error saying mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument

anybody has any idea? i am using sandisk mobile ultra 8gb mirco sdhc
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sentiao:
i had the bin/sh error too , first time.

when simply retrying -> it booted up to the "exploding X".

however, that screen froze on me.

i seem to get more progress though than with the material from the original threads.

the material from this topic has gotten me further than ever before. as i speak i'm booting a fresh one with the new kernel (from the start). it's upside down, but i hope this one works 'out of the box'.

persistence is paramount, as time passes the chance on reaching satisfaction approaches 1. how this satisfaction is achieved is up to you; may it be through running XPEROID, purchasing an android phone or simply giving up.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sentiao:
I managed to get it back to the "exploding X" screen (using the first file, not the kernel update).

It seems to be stuck in the X screen though, it's looping (and stalling a little) for 20 minutes now. Last time I soft-resetted the phone after about 10 minutes of X-screen, and it mangled my sd card (meaning I had start from scratch). There is no text (or error message for that matter), so I don't know what is going on.

Is anyone familiar with this?

EDIT:

I paused my attempts for now. Same result over and over. I'm not able to find anything on this in the original thread (or possibly when I read every single post I might find something), search reveals nothing to me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
You have to use a version of haret that supports your phone. As X1 and X2 have not identical hardware (or do they?) someone has to code X2-support to haret. Until then it will not work. :o

In startup.txt there is this line

set mtype 2006

This is for kovsky X1. For X2 there has to be a different value, but dont ask me about that :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
It seems that your sd-card has no partition. If you use linux, you can check this very easy. On windows, you can try to reformat the card.

You can also try another card.

That battery indicator is really gone out of control. I couldn't load android today because it automatically restart because of "0% battery". It was 50% in WM.

Anyone else have simmilar problems or i screwed up something?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] linuxtux:
Yes, have noticed Android battery management isn't accurate and will reboot back into WinMo even though there is plenty battery capacity according to WinMo battery management.

If battery capacity is 50% or below, yes Android will not fully boot, and restart.

If battery capacity is > 50%, Android will fully boot, and in most cases continue to run even if battery capacity < 50%. It usually reboots when battery capacity reaches 20 - 30%
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:
Yep having the same issue.

Battery was fully charged, started android, it also said full power.

A few minutes later it was down to half way, then 10 minutes after that its giving me the low battery notification, then it jumped to 100%, but quickly went back down to 5%. Then half an our of standby later, it restarted itself presumably from the meter getting to some cutoff level.

Im guessing that the driver is just reading the signals from the Power Management incorrectly? (Qualcomm PM7540?)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] republicano:
i have read a few posts about similar problems,the battery sensor/levels flutuates but you may need to rebuild that data.img if it continues, havent had this problem yet other than it going from 35 to 50 percent then back again when there is moderate cpu/load.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Mic159:
Here is a workaround:

Add this to the startup.txt cmdline parameters to stop it showing low battery:

htc_battery_smem.fake=1

It makes android think its plugged in & charging.

APN settings won't save

Anyone else having problem not being able to remember APN settings? I enter the settings, everything as it supposed to be, then hit save settings screen goes back on APN list and list remains empty. Tried multiple times - no go.. Any idea what to do?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Ape187:
The SAVE option doesn't worked for me either. Type in your APN settings and when you're finished just hit the back (OK) hardware key. It saves automanically. Then it should display.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] leobg:
Thanks for the advice. Using back (ok button) doesn't save it either, but I think I figured it out. The reson is my phone is locked and I am using SIM from another operator in combination with unlocking SIM module to bypass SIM lock. I noticed MCC and MNC values are empty when I use the unlocker SIM. No matter I enter the right values APN settings do not get saved. I tried using original SIM (from operator that phone is locked to) and it worke fine. I noticed I cannot create APN with MCC and MNC different than the one SIM comes from. I guess this is normal behaviour.

I would like to add - I am very impressed how far X1 Android has come to. Android runs suprisingly smooth I don't see "wait/close" buttons as in earlier X1-Android days. The only thing that really stops XANDROID from prime time is the backlight control. I am sure it won't be long before the wizards here resolve it, as well as the other things like GPS and BT or kb layout. Keep the great work folks!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] twerg:
Hi, not sure if this has been mentioned previously, dont recall reading so.

Normally my X1 runs quite cool except when using gps. However when using Android on it it runs very, very warm. In Spare Parts for battery info it says 87.5 degrees Celsius, not sure if this is accurate though.

Is this happening for anyone else?, and will long use of Android with the increased heat generated damage the battery or the X1 itself?

Thanks

performance (pros and cons) of android over X1

Hi guys,

I am about to start rooting of my X1 with android platform. But I have heard that X1 hardware is not powerful enough to handle droid in a decent way and usually it slows down too much!!

Is it true? and what is the general advice of geeks here to avoid this?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] twerg:
I have not used a real Android device yet but my experience of it on X1 is all good except for the obvious issues atm.

Mine runs well, smooth operation, slight slowdown at first until all process are running, no lags like on WinMo 6.1 X1, X1 feels powerful enough in my use. Operates better and smoother that Mobile Shell 3.5 installed. I do not have a swapfile operating, if it really makes a difference.

Infact, if it was working perfectly with no problems i would seriously consider using Andriod as my primary OS. Though i do love WinMo...

Give it a try, refreshing change.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] sp3dev:
Guys, I've been tracing gpios and I think that h2w cable_in1 gpio is 30, not 31. When i set it to 30, the device does detect the headset injection and removal, but somehow it's inverted (i.e., you remove the headset and the headset icon appears in the taskbar)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] linuxtux:
This is due to amount of current being drawn from the battery, which is draining the battery (charge) quite rapidly. The main contributing factor for our build would be the backlight continually running. Other factors would include type of apps and widgets running.

On a side note...

Posts on this and other forums indicate a general theme with Android having poor battery life / performance, which appears to be pointing to the power management layer. I'm hoping that if this is the case, that future releases of Android will address this.

Interested to know whether there is any improvement on this between Android 2.01 and 2.1
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lyteo:
It has been asked several times before, but no one answered. Is it possible - and how, if it is - to run this Android on Xperia X2. Phone restarts every time I run haret :(

Thanks for the answers ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] drlucky:
Sounds great ... could you please post your GPIO settings for CABLE1/2? I've obviously played too much with these values. I have used 30 for CABLE1 as well, but doesn't get this icon. Did you change anything else in the code or did you use the official git repository or our cloned one?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Sounds great indeed - LITERALLY!! I can confirm now: Headphones work! :D

ATM it is only proof-of-concept. As sp3dev said, the detection is inverted. Thats why i swaped GPIO AC_DETECT with CABLE_IN1 to get the kernel enable sound and had the headphone plugged in at the same time. And it works!

Now we have to fix the detection. But i have to go to sleep first :o

By the way: I never had a headphone symbol in android.

SMS sending problem

For those that have problems with SMS sending, I found a solution! The problem is, your SMSC (SMS Centre) is not set correctly for Android. You will need to change your SMSC to the correct number without the "+" sign and your Android will be able to send SMS. I'm using SEX1 as my WinMo OS, you can change your SMSC by going to Comm Manager >> Settings >> Phone >> Services >> Voice Mail and Text Messages and change the "+" sign to "00". I'm on Maxis Malaysia, so mine would read 0060120000015. Once that is done, just run haret.exe and you are good to go. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] drlucky:
Great!!! Can you push your changes to gitorious? I could try to make the necessary change to the headphone detection code ... additionally I'm curious what I have done wrong :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Detection now works, too :D

So we can now try a new kernel with working external sound AND headphone sound. I pushed my changes, but dont expect much. ;)

I attached the new kernel. It is not perfect, i noticed different volume settings and sometimes sound is very shortly played through speaker and then switches to headphones. But hear yourself :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] drlucky:
Great - haven't tried that combination before ... :)

Next - battery level. Maybe I can try something during this week, but my X1 drives me mad (always restarts dueto "low battery" directly after booting into Android and battery approx. 40-50% in WinMo).

As far as I can see:

IF battery level display fixed AND background led fixed

THEN change drluckys x1 to android

:D

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Jonny4911:
new kernel is in the 1.1b base package for android with htc hero! i haven't tested it as i don't have time!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] n00b3r:
Does this kernel fix the speaker from playing static, even when nothing's "playing"? I'm just curious, as I don't have time (finals right now) to test it on my Xperia.

If we can also get the keyboard layout fixed, then we're ready to go :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
No, and IMHO that is an android-issue. The kernel CAN enable and disable the speaker, but android does not use that.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
So system itself won't turn off speakers? Is that also happening on devices with stock android?

Are there any side effects like battery drainage when speaker is always turned on? If not, i don't care about that anymore :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] engineer1:
Hi Vdelf, the sound is perfect on headphones!!! do you have the module's file for WIFI??

I noted that doesn't appear the headset icon meanwhile in the 2.1 (hero) version it appears, if you are interested to investigate it.

Thanks.

no glitches at all on hero sense version and sound quality is really good.
