Just found out that if you have AAA you get a 14% discount...hope that helps...tho you MUST mention it at the time of purchase or they will wanna tack on 2 years from the time you mention it like they did my gf
[HD2 General] HackMimic:
is that from tmobile directly or from the store in the [OP] post. I went to the store and got two hd2's for the price of one. plus the second phone was tax free. when the phones come in, the store offered 50% off of any accessory plus buy one get one free. gotta love this bad economy.
[HD2 General] lanrover:
Network Settings for AWS bands on HD2 - TMOUS

The WCDMA setting under Settings - > Band for HD2 on TMO branded device does not show the right WCDMA for AWS IV that TMO uses. Seems like they did a sloppy job of not updating the SW while they tweaked the radio to support the AWS spectrum.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Thats the same price as in stores. You can get that cheaper rate plan if you pay full price for the hd2 ($450). Otherwise, if you take the discounted price for the phone, you pay $20 more a month for the same rate plan. You get a cheaper price at witefly if your starting a new account than you would at a tmobile store.
[HD2 General] Apt2l:
Are you going to the retail Tmobile store or just a cellphone store?

I went to retail Tmobile store and the only plan they showed me is the 59.99 (mins) + 34.99 (internet & texting).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Purple Drama Llama:
Hello, i apologize if these have already been asked but i searched and couldn't find an answer so i figured might as well post eh? I'm getting a Fuze within the next few days and had a few questions. How do you know if your phone has been Hard SPL? If you do it twice can it brick your phone? What is the best rom with sense 2.5. Defining best as fast, stable, etc. Are their any useful tips that i could use or should know that are essential? I've never had an HTC device before and this is a learning experience for me. Thanks for your help in advance!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stylez:
Get phone into bootloader and you will see SPL\HSPL instructions how to in the Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs) bear in mind this is for GSM if you have CDMA "no sim"

Take a good read of the stickys and the wiki is a valuable sauce of information.

Good luck and have fun :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Purple Drama Llama:
Alright, thanks for that info. Where can i find tweaks for screen sensativity and speed?
[Nexus One General] abe357:
When pressing volume key up or down, the volume bar is not showing on the screen thus the volume can't be changed,this happened both Ring volume and media volume,I need go to Settings--Sound and Brightness to adjust the volume, any thoughts?

My N1 is rooted and with CM 5.0.4.1 rom
[Nexus One General] Schwacker:
Augh. Like a kid at Christmas, I waited for the FedEx guy to show today. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the AT&T N1 unlocked phone. Like a good boy, I unpacked it and charged it "fully" before trying to use it. Imagine my disappointment when I attempted to put my AT&T SIM card into the slot and it would NOT go in! I'm not even talking halfway, barely at all.

I went to a friend's house and we shined a pin light down the slot and we saw a black, protruding thing so we're thinking THAT is block it. We even tried his 1 year old SIM card from his IPHONE and it does not go in!

So for kicks, I called Google Help Desk and talked to a friendly rep but there was only so much she can do. She suggested I contact HTC but man, what a bummer....I guess I'll have to mail it back tomorrow and hope I get one back by middle of next week.

Bummer man.....

Schwack
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
are you sure youre sticking it into the SIM slot and NOT the microsd slot?
[Nexus One General] Schwacker:
Oh yeah, trust me. I did. Actually originally I did accidentally put the microSD card in that slot. But I was able to pull it out and put it in the sd slot. Then I took my SIM card and tried to put it in but no luck.

The Google lady said she never head of that but that doesn't surprise me. My buddy and i used a pen light to move that "black" plastic that we thought was preventing it from going it in but no dice!
[Nexus One General] Kid Poker:
How can you put it in the microSD slot when the memory card is in there? Also are you putting it in the right way?
[Nexus One General] Schwacker:
Hey Kid,

Originally, during my excitement, I accidentally put my micro card in the SIM slot. It almost went in there all the way but I was able to pull it out with my fingernails.

Yes -- I followed the card diagram and put the curved edged side near the top and still no deal. Heck, for kicks, I rotated the card in all angles and nothing.

I know..embarassing.
[Nexus One General] Schwacker:
All,

Well Google never head of my issue and I can't say I blame them. For what it's worth, I'm uploading a pic to show you just how "far" I can slide my SIM card in.

Schwack
[Nexus One General] Schwacker:
close this thread. Can't believe it. It appears there was a microsd card jammed into that slot. I was able to pull it out. now the question is where did it come from and what does it contain.........
[Nexus One General] atb1o1:
the phone is suppose to come with a 4 gig micro sd. I guess whoever packaged the phone from the factory must have jammed it into the wrong slot.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
dude your phone comes with a 4gb micro sd card, its suppose to be in your sd slot but I guess the person who packaged the phone made the same mistake you did and put it into the sim slot.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
lol that's funny.

But id be kinda weary about the phone, if that's the assembly line it went through. lol
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Hah, brilliant!
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
So I'm interested in FPSECE. I'm using get-your-rom.com to get a psx iso of metal gear solid just to try it out.

I noticed there's two parts.

How do I make this into an iso?

How do I use pocketISO?

Thanks!!!
[HD2 General] coolwater22:
well there been a couple of people here saying that if you make it an iso its actually slower,but i tried it on my tp2 and i got 18-26 with sound on which wasnt bad for me but if i used frame skip i would get 60 fps.ill try to look for the link. but if you need help pm and ill send you the link

btw i was playing ff7, ff8,ff9 :)

using "search" as well wouldnt hurt either lol..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jseso:
i am about to unroot the mytouch so it can go back into the tmobile factory settings...because im sending it in for warranty...now i did update the radio and changed the spl...will they see that or will the unroot process change that back to normal??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
Yes, load the SAPPimg.nbh, power down, hold volume down and power buttons. Let the file load, start the update and let finish. Your phone will be back on 1.5 with original radio and SPL.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttieder:
Does nexus one have hardware to support 4g on t-mobile when available
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
most likley not
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jz9833:
no. if the sprint version was going it, then it would of been announced already most likely
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
I don't even think the N1 supports HSPA+... someone correct me if I'm wrong though. Are we maxed out at 7.2mbps?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
I have yet to see anyone even hit that cap...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatMew:
No. Go away.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafian:
lol 7.2mb? fail? Why even mention those numbers..my wifi can't even pull that off maybe 3.2 let alone tmobile? ROFL why complain about caps that aren't going to get hit...maybe when u die and come back..who knows..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbalmer:
Have easily hit 15Mbps download CM updates through WiFi
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
I wasn't implying that our phones will actually get 7.2mbps down... I was simply asking whether our phones are compatible with HSPA+ and have a "theoretical" cap over 7.2mbps. Hell, we're not going to get anywhere near 7.2 with the backhaul the way it is right now. I'm thinking once they get that sorted, we could get a few mbps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
No it does not support 4G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cekle:
T-Mobile have stated that their upgrades to HSPA+ will be backwards compatible with existing 3G hardware. This will result in a theoretical speed of 21 mbps from their network.

Is it 4G (WiMax)? No. But you will be getting speeds decently close to it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] joshuapguzman:
Idk why, but the fuze power button never works for me. any help would be appreciated!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] eguie_kathia:
I have the same problem. Two weeks ago the power buttun don't work. Any Idea? Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dainian:
When I try to manually update my Nexus One with the newer non-OTA update. Everything is fine until I get to the section where you can use the trackball. From there I get, "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" Later, after trying to verify the package I get, "E:signature verification failed" and aborts the install. Tried someone's advice about taking the battery out and putting it back in but still nothing. Please advise.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] intersectRaven:
I assume your bootloader is unlocked. What recovery are you using? Amon_RA's?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dainian:
My bootloader is not unlocked, but will be today. I was under the impression that as long as the file was named "update.zip" it could be done without it. Ah well. So today I am going through the steps to put the desire rom on the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] addam360:
I'm having the same issue, also not rooted. Its really annoying me and I'm quite worried about it since I'm not receiving the 2.2.2 OTA and I'm worried I won't be able to install 2.3 when it arrives.

If anyone knows a fix please reply!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] unamusedpunk:
This is some really good progress.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] addam360:
lol do i detect some sarcasm? I guess i shouldve checked how old this post was before posting for help on it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
(This was not found or created by me. All credits go to Qualcomm (CodeAurora) and Cyanogen.)

Thought i may as well post this as it has not been posted yet :)

This is essentially a kernel modification that tweaks the audio settings "for optimal loudness and achieve 5 steps of 3db each."

Hopefully cyanogen will incorporate this into his next kernel build, but if you want it now, you can build your own version of his kernel with these modifications - http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/f044b1069c4d853e535fce2b800a0af4947a22f7#L0R46

Also, it should be noted that those values are the 'optimal' volume settings. You could make it a hell of a lot louder if you want, the values are pretty easy to understand!

You will need to build your own kernel though, which is kindly explained by cyanogen here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_build_a_kernel_port

Mind you, that's for a donut kernel, so it will need to be amended.

enjoy :)

edit: it seems Cyanogen's done the work for you! Here's a pre-made version - testing directory.
[Nexus One Android Development] daveid:
It may be worthwhile to note that Cyanogen has already built a kernel with this mod, it can be found in his testing directory.

Though, myself, I can't imagine why anyone wants it to be louder... I mean, with my headphones on, I can't physically stand the volume above around 80% (in fact my music profile defaults to 70% which is plenty for almost all my music - save a few live recordings that require the push to 80%).
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
Thanks for that, i'll add it to the OP.

I think most people have really only been complaining about the main loudspeaker volume, rather than the headset volume. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] teamsilence:
80% are you crazy i want audio hack to be alot louder i want my ears to ring and bleeeed!!!!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] daveid:
Gotcha, I might think the loudspeaker is a little weak as well, but I just increased the volume on my ringtones, and voila. Though, it is annoyingly soft for sharing Youtube videos with people... maybe this ain't such a bad idea.. ;)

Since I can just set my volume a little lower when I put my bigassed headphones on. ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] daveid:
Yeah, I actually value my hearing.. And for the majority of my music 70% is more than enough, even though I work around loud machinery. I also have nice headphones though, and that makes a world of difference.
[Nexus One Android Development] madhartigan:
Agreed!!

Regardless, it's nice to have the option there. I just use this mod with my volume at 50% instead of 70% and if a certain album hasn't been normalized properly, I have that headroom.

Thank you so much for this hack. I've been posting in the other Audio Hack thread and it's great to see some progress for the Nexus One.

Seriously. Thank you!!
[Nexus One Android Development] persiansown:
This will also be in the next UV kernel that I release and teh UV-OC kernel as well
[Nexus One Android Development] fitchz:
sweet!

just the one expected: audio hack + OC kernel

looking forward to it:cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] djdarkknight96:
Sweet, so no worries about loosing it if cyanogen adds it, then if we UV and or OC, it will be back.....nice group effort with this phone. Its like we got NASA modding or phones!

Btw, I really appreciate all the hard work!
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I wonder, does this audio hack increase bluetooth volume as well? A little volume boost in that department would be fantastic
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
It looks like it, judging by what's been changed. I don't have a Nexus to test it though :)
[Nexus One Android Development] MatMew:
Great, can't wait to actually get some use out of my loud speaker.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Then I will just have to give it a go :D
[Nexus One Android Development] d.cortez:
if the hack appears to increase bluetooth call volume, can i assume that it also increases in-call earpiece volume as well? thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] metalhead8816:
All I have to say is that this mod is awesome. Makes the speaker actually useful.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I'm just pushing the .ko file now. Will report my findings in a few minutes.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
After testing this hack with my Jawbone, I couldn't tell any difference. Seemed the exact same. The same can be said of the in-call earpiece volume as well, no noticeable change
[Nexus One Android Development] DocRambone:
I did not notice any change either.
[Nexus One Android Development] d.cortez:
is it possible to adjust the values to a "higher/louder" level and retest?
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I used the pre-built version by Cyanogen so no it's not possible to adjust the values on his (at least I don't think so). If one were to build the kernel from scratch then yeah one could theoretically set the levels to whatever they like. It's getting late here so I will play around with it more tomorrow and let you know.
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
So ringtones are finally louder??

If yes is it much louder and without cracking sound or we are still way behind 3gs?
[Nexus One Android Development] Paraglider1982:
Yeah it's a little bit louder, I just flashed it.

Think more volume isn't possible cause the speaker just hasn't more power.
[Nexus One Android Development] dictionary:
Will just pushing the .ko really change anything though? I thought you'd need both the .ko AND the zImage
[Nexus One Android Development] Paraglider1982:
I also think you need both, I just did it and it worked.
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
So the N1 still can't compete with other phones and you still miss calls :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] Paraglider1982:
I don't know didn't get a call with the new Mod till now ;)

But the Ringtone is louder, just try!
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
I can't because I don't have a N1 yet :o

I want to know if get one or wait for Desire just because of that particular thing
[Nexus One Android Development] gandalf027:
You must have a defect unit .. in my nexus with CM and for example the Enter the Nexus ringtone is very loud and i don't say Nokia speaker quality but not bad.

I ear it very well in a shopping mall in my bag.

I will try this one also.

edit: So you don't have a nexus and you are spreading all this without even trying? Common ...
[Nexus One Android Development] Paraglider1982:
It always depends on which ringtone you take, too.

I didn't have a 3GS so I can't compare volume, but with this mod it's better than before.
[Nexus One Android Development] gandalf027:
My wife has a 3GS and the loudness it's quieter then the Nexus. It depends a lot on the ringtone you are using.
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
I hope it's louder than my ex-satio at least :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
If anyone wants to build the kernel source the file is very easy to edit and it looks like it could go louder. Although, i'm not sure how good it would sound if it was louder, probably distorted as hell.

Also, does anyone know whether kernel changes such as this are possible to do whilst the phone is running?
[Nexus One Android Development] pershoot:
cannot be done while the phone is running. kernel has to be loaded in.
[Nexus One Android Development] gandalf027:
Buy a €50 Nokia and you will have the best speaker you cant get .. /offtopic off.
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
Thanks for your quick response, i don't know anything about kernel development lol :D
[Nexus One Android Development] rotohammer:
Perhaps as done currently, but, many kernel parameters are adjustable though the /proc filesystem, and theres a good possibility the kernel driver can be modified in a similar fashion.
[Nexus One Android Development] b.gruen:
Hello,

if not I am sure there are people that are able to program such a /proc interface. I did something like this some time ago (2.6.8 was current at that time) and it is not that hard. Unfortunately I wont have time to do this and I never modified an android-kernel too.

Regards,

Bernhard
[Nexus One Android Development] Gonesingle:
noob question - i have downloaded both files from CM's test directory....how do i install this?
[Nexus One Android Development] d.cortez:
Meltus - thanks for posting this info. my interest is increasing the in-call volume of the earpiece. can i assume that the section titled [Q6_HW_HANDSET] controls the in-call volume? for testing, would one just increase/decrease values, compile, load to the phone and test? or is there reference material that correlates volume levels to values used in the code? yes, i'm an android noob, but i'm doing my best to learn as much as i can. thanks to you or anyone else who answers my question.:)
[Nexus One Android Development] shrub:
i would love to know as well - the speaker is awful on the nexus one in all honesty.

is this something that someone could post some step by step instructions for us noobs? i got the basics down and am rooted and comfortable chopping changing ROMs, but is this something u need advanced coding skill to do?

thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] methius:
Gonna second that request.

Just reset into bootloader and flash the image found on?

n*0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/testing/
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
You need to be flash the image file and adb push the .ko file.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Correct, flash the image file using fastboot.

If you want wifi to work, you need to adb push the .ko file
[Nexus One Android Development] ttieder:
is there any way to get this is a zip form to flash
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I am sure one of the experts in here can. But it's pretty easy to do using fastboot. The command you would use is: fastboot flash zimage (whatever the name of the file is)
[Nexus One Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
I did NOT notice any difference... ??? The music volume is the same and also the ringtone... I used fastboot to flash the zimage, and then into recovery and adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules, have I done anything wrong? thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] frankzua77:
!!

i second that! lol, I lost my data cable :(
[Nexus One Android Development] www1:
Istruction to install

reboot n1 in fastboot

fastboot devices (for see if nexus is connected)

fastboot flash zimage zImage-2.6.33.1

reboot

adb remount

adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/

enjoy
[Nexus One Android Development] Gilg@mesh:
did that but I noticed no difference..
[Nexus One Android Development] frankzua77:
!!

make a zip file, lol! :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Android Development] r8zer:
i think it needs more than a 3 dB increase,
[Nexus One Android Development] Gonesingle:
zip please lol
[Nexus One Android Development] r8zer:
you dont need a zip do as frankzua77 has said exactly and you will be fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] methius:
Followed the instructions, but having the feeling the increase is down to placebo effect.

Anyway to upload a extreme lower volume mod, so we can test if it works?

(And one with higher values)
[Nexus One Android Development] norocel:
Ohhh yeeeessss i want moooore!! moooore!! :)) sound like a horny ***** but really now...I want bit more of volume.Thank you all the creators of this mod.
[Nexus One Android Development] intersectRaven:
I integrated this in my kernel build and I did notice a slight max volume increase. The only thing I don't like about it is that after the 5 levels, its as if its already on mute.
[Nexus One Android Development] bcrook:
Just an FYI, that how-to that was posting was actually written by Radix999 and its for EBI1/32A port files for the Magic. You don't want to follow all of those steps if you are building for the Nexus.

You are better off using this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Building_from_source#Prepare_Kernel_From_Source

This will spit out a zImage file which you can flash with

fastboot flash zimage zImage

The bcmxxx.ko should be built at the same time but I am not sure. It may need to be compiled separately (like the wlan.ko does) or by using a different flag on the make command.
[Nexus One Android Development] parelius:
Every time i flash the zimage and push the .ko file, i loose my wifi.

When i try to enable wifi, it says it cant...

Running CM 5.0.5.3
[Nexus One Android Development] gf_gollum:
those of us who already have hearing impairment (either to to previous "audio abuse" or (in my case) congenital impairement (or even old age!)) are scouring the place looking for either a Nexus audio boost or hyper efficient headphones. Damn these EU do-gooders with their regulated maximal volumes for MP3 players etc!:(
[Nexus One Android Development] rgl12miami:
Same here :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] Meltus:
You're never going to get the phone really loud. You need to remember that HTC make notoriously quiet phone speakers. I'll try and build a few different kernels for you all tomorrow/tonight with more 'extreme' volume settings.

The original mod was done so that the volume range was just 'shifted' up, but it doesn't need to be like that, the volume range can be as extreme as you want, which some people may prefer. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] rotohammer:
Screw it. I'm compiling a kernel with -2000 to +1200 and test the result.

FYI, the code say 1200 is the max supported by the hardware.

Update: It boots, whee!

-2000 is too low now that I see the formula
[Nexus One Android Development] andonnguyen:
Could you post the zimage or boot.img? I'm in the "screw it" mode this morning. lol
