[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Thanks :)

About the driver: yes, it does look that way (especially linux-2.6.29/sound/soc/codecs/wm8994_aries.c, which looks quite hairy IMHO). But remember that when Samsung started development on Eclair, the 2.6.29 kernel was all they had. There were other Wolfson drivers in there, but not for the WM8994.

They had probably made up their mind about what hardware would go into the phone by then, so they needed to write drivers for anything that wasn't yet in the kernel source, including the FM radio chip and the audio chip.

Also they did a LOT of customization to the basic driver structure which they took from similar chips, such as their own custom audio routing for headset, mic, backside speaker, voice call (earpiece), fm radio input and the like, which you can see in /etc/asound.conf on the phone. This will make porting the generic Wolfson driver that much harder, because a lot of Samsungs proprietary stuff in the Android framework and shared libraries depends on it. Since we don't have source code for that, we're stuck with the way Samsung code wants to talk to the hardware.

What still puzzles me is why Samsung did not backport the really nice Wolfson drivers to their own kernel (Wolfson now even includes a very nice simplified audio routing solution specially designed for small devices like mobile phones, MP3 players and such), but this may be a case of Not Invented Here syndrome...

I sure hope so :) but I have my doubts, given what the current leaked betas look like...

The Wolfson chip seems easily capable (it can do all kinds of channel splitting / combining / mixing), so unless Samsung messed up wiring the fm radio to its inputs, this still seems likely a driver problem.

I totally agree about the power of XDA :) But please also consider that Samsung did give us a lot of source code (including the 3D GPU driver, which is quite exceptional for .any. company) without us needing to put much pressure on them. They could just have dumped a bunch of binary blobs and be done with it, but hey, they gave us SOURCE!

Of course it would have been nice if the code was a little more mature and stored in a nice Git repository like Wolfson's and now HTC's, but hey, where would be the fun of kernel hacking and experimenting that makes XDA such a great community, if everything was already perfect? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Digging into linux-2.6.29/sound/soc/codecs/wm8994_aries.c some more, here's another update: It seems that (at least in the current kernel source) Samsung are having problems with unwanted mixing of the

headset

Mic and FM Radio audio. They put in several quickfixes marked: "Temporary inserted for blocking MIC and FM radio mixing - DW Shim 2010.03.04".

These are doing really funky stuff to the oudio routing and could be the cause of the mono FM issue! :)

My hypothesis: Since the WM8994 has only one pair (Left/Right) of analog inputs, and the FM radio on the (international) I9000 has only analog (Left/Right) outputs, the (mono, only Left channel) headset Mic and the FM radio have to

share

one pair of inputs on the WM8994. (USians may be lucky this time if/when someone unlocks the FM radio in their Bluetooth/FM radio/GPS/xxx combo chip, because its output is digital, and the Wolfson chip has plenty inputs for that :) )

From the source code it appears that to prevent mixing the audio from the FM radio with that from the headset mic, the driver disables either one of them while routing the other to the speaker or headphone output. Also, when recording from the headset Mic, its signal (only Left channel) gets split into 2 channels (Left/Right, but still mono!) for recording (otherwise you would end up with silence on the right channel). When tuning the FM radio, both its (Left/Right) outputs are supposed to go to the headset, but only the Left channel should go to the backside speaker. Also the headset mic should be disabled, otherwise you would get its audio mixed in with the radio programme.

Anyway, during all that voodoo, something seems to go wrong somewhere...

More to come :)

Please share your views and opinions. :)

Options:

a. Remove MicroSD card and use Adapter

b. USB cable + ActiveSync

b. USB cable + USB Mass storage mode

c. FTP file transfer method using software and programs. Which is best method of FTP?

d. Connect to computer using Map Network Drive (e.g. Resco File explorer) and transfer using in buit file manager.

e. ActiveSync connected over Bluetooth

f. Bluetooth Obex file transfer protocol

If any option has been left out please do not hesitate to mention it. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zephx:
Hello

for me, the best method for file transfer is ftp over wifi.

I use a freeware FTP server from mochasoft, and any FTP client or even any HTTp browser on the pc.

It's a fast and reliable solution to transfer files to and from my HD2 :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dijay_94:
Thanks, I've previously used FTP on the iPhon but found it to be tediously slow, I will try it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sureer:
Hi, I am a new member and sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find any reference to it in the forum.

I have HTC Magic (Android 1.5) from Three in Australia. I have updated the ROM with the latest Sense UI from HTC website.

I would like to install newer version of Android (1.6 or above) if possible and willing to root my phone if necessary as I have called both Three and HTC about an official update but to no avail for the last 6 months.

My phone build/config are as below:

Model number: HTC Magic

Firmware version: 1.5

Baseband version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

Kernel version: 2.6.27-5b476e83 htc-kernel (at symbol) and18-2 #989

So, what are my options? Any help of point to where I should look would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xler8:
New also

I just got my first Android phone yesterday, so I'm new to this too. I figured this would be a good time to make a first post. All the Android ppl here seem very cool, so this'll be my introduction.

I got a myTouch from ebay and intend to unlock it and upgrade. Here is my short to do list:

1) get unlock code. I'm going to ask someone on Facebook who is on T-mobile to call cust support with the IMEI for me. Failing that, I'll buy one from ebay for $10 (from one of the sellers with 99% rating, thousands sold).

3) learn basics of using myTouch + Android Market in its current state. This will also let me appreciate how much better it's gonna be after step 5

4) root phone (using tutorials online) to get access to install new ROM (firmware)

5) install CyanogenMod rom. I'll probably do step 4/5 using the tutorials on the CM site. Version 5.08 (Android 2.1) just came out this week and everyone is going nuts over how great it is.

Here are two massive posts for new users to learn more:

Sorry for posting here, but I caught wind from the Aria forums that CM6 would be ported to the Aria as soon as it's available.

So here I am ... wondering if there's any potential timeline for a CM6 release.

Sure would be nice if Cyanogen would include Aria in the CM6 target list.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
@chrissoyars said yesterday there IS NO TIMELINE for cm6. when it happens it happens. just keep watching and waiting
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chrisinaz:
The source has only been out for a little over 24 hours and people are asking when it's gonna be released already! haha. Not pickin on ya, it's just funny what kind of demand there is.

[HTC Aria General] attn1:
What launcher are you using? Did you try ADW or Launcher Pro? did you also load livewallpapers.apk?
[HTC Aria General] Yoshiofthewire:
I loaded livewallpapers.apk and the livewallapaerspicker.apk

I tried with Sense and sweeterhome

But I think I need to load the .SO files from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647837

But I have to find a different SD card because I can't get into recovery mode with my 8gb sd card.

(I left my 2gb at home)

ADW gave me the same problem.
[HTC Aria General] Yoshiofthewire:
I was able to adb remount since I pushed your clean update

But now I am getting "out of memory" when I try to push the SO files.

So I guess I will have to do the push in restore mode.
[HTC Aria General] modest_mandroid:
Let me know if you can figure out a way to get it running in Sense. I still haven't gotten my Aria (due to show up on Monday), but the lack of wallpapers is the one thing I was disappointed with.
[HTC Aria General] bobj:
Well I have live wallpapers working on my aria right now in alternate launchers like adw and launcher pro.

Pulled the files from a custom rom that adds live wallpapers for legend then rebuilt them into a rom I'm working on stripped of at&t crap. Did not replace the rosie apk since at this time tha just crashed htc.launcher.

This is a fun little phone.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Hey Bob, did you find a way to fix the non-market apps toggle in settings? I am working on a modified spare parts type deal to do that now, but if you already have a fix, I am all ears. Funny, AT&T didn't like the name Liberty. How fitting that they chose not to use it.

we really should open an IRC channel
[HTC Aria General] Yoshiofthewire:
The real question is there a way to do Live Wallpapers & Sense at the same time.

I know I am being picky, but I want my tech the way I want my tech.
[HTC Aria General] bobj:
There is a way since the rom i stole the stuff from was for the legend and Sense its just the version of sense that was in the rom is not compatible with our rom.

I havent even started looking into the Sense APK file yet but figure with live wallpapers working correctly i just got to figure out how to disable normal wallpapers in sense to make them work.
[HTC Aria General] bobj:
I havent worked at all on the market toggle, i figure since we can sideload the settings.db file and it works its very low on my care list. All i worked on today was stripping out what i didnt like and trying to make a nice clean rom that had all the default files i wanted in it (google voice, pandora, etc..). Just happened to also play with the live wallpapers and found it worked on the way home when i tried a new launcher.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
If you make a zipfile of the livewallpaper files and post them, I'd appreciate it.
[HTC Aria General] Yoshiofthewire:
Yes, Please and Thank You
[HTC Aria General] bobj:
Yeah all the files are on my work machine so I will do that in a bit later. Will put it into a zip able to be recovered into an existing rooted aria so anyone can add them.

Update file for adding LWP to Aria

6/28/10 - Updated to allow LWP in the Sense UI

* This assumes you have your phone rooted and have access to the Clockwork Mod to allow updating your phone with unsigned zip files *

1.) Put the file onto your SD Card in the root directory

2.) Access the Clockwork Mod

4.) install zip from sdcard (option 5)

5.) choose zip from sdcard (option 2)

6.) Click on the file you downloaded and put on your sdcard

6a.) If you run into an error when installing shut off your phone,, unplug it from the USB cable, then reboot it back into Clockwork Mod and start again from step 2

7.) Once done installing, go back one menu and reboot system

8.) Upon reboot you can now choose Live Wallpaper in the wallpaper options

*Issues*

The only issue that I know of at this time is you have to use the settings/personalize/lock screen wallpaper option in order to change the lockscreen wallpaper

If you have any issues let me know, I tested this on a fresh clean stock rom flash then updated to add in the LWP.

*Files*

Clean install of the LWP packages

Select this if you want to install the LWP on a clean install or install without any LWP

Update install of the LWP packages

Select this if you used the previous version with LauncherPro and Home Switcher. This will remove those packages and update to the Sense Enabled LWP.

I don´t know how i can solve the problem!

I just received my mt3gs and thought I'd try it "as is" for a few days before rooting it. One thing that I've used heavily on every other Android phone (G1, Droid, EVO) is the voice search icon. That is missing on the mt3gs - is there any way to get it on there? I love being able to hit one icon, then say something like "navigate to starbucks". I tried that with the "Genius Button" and it just plain didn't work. The voice search icon is also missing from the search widget (though it shows up once you click on it to enter text.)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimbob343:
Hi all,

I have recieved my phone from mobiles.co.uk finaly who initially advertised the I9000 as the 16gb version... This is incorrect and have since changed their website to 8gb..

I have been in contact with mobiles.co.uk who have tried to send me an 8gb memory to make up the difference. Like probably most of us here we already have 8gb memory cards so this is useless but may be useful to you.

I would advise that anybody who has purchased the Samsung Galaxy S from mobiles.co.uk as the 16gb version, to double check and you'll probably find its the 8 and if you want to return it.. do so before the return policy runs out and goto vodaphone for the 16.

I am curious how many people they have done this too!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Hi, I bought mine from Mobiles.co.uk, and yes it was advertised as 16g, but it was also advertised as having an LED Flash at one point. But being realistic I never expected to get a 16G version since Vodafone announced a UK exclusive on it. Mobiles corrected this as soon as they got them. I didnt bother asking for an 8 gig card, as you say, we mostly already have them.

You are fully entitled to send it back, and get one from Vodafone, but it will be locked, and likely Vodafone branded with the red dog turd. So I'm happy with my 8G version, and its hardly a limitation given we can add another 32G in the SDHC slot.

I guess its a question of weither you feel cheated or hard done by, or weither you shrug it off as an easy oversight in today's world where a new gadget arrives every week.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimbob343:
Thats exactly it.. but would rather be given the choice than realise when its too late and cant send it back.. Vodafone offer it for £35pm and dont give the half price offer neither which would pay for the SD card..

Just a note to people... thats all.

Soft reset. When you power your phone on, press the trackball before you see any animation or images.

Hi. I first filled in the online unlatching request form at the end of january. It has been resubmitted three or four times since by o2 themselves, along with at least a dozen calls from me to them, escallation to various managers and departments, and 160 days later, , ,still no unlock code.

I know o2 outsource their unlock code generation (probably to htcunlock.com or some such) and that such pay companies have had trouble in teh past generating codes for some IMEI numbers.

If this is the case, do i have any recourse to get a replacement handset, with an IMEI that can be unlocked? (i doubt it, but gotta ask, , pretty sure the UK has no 'you must provide an unlock code' laws.)

Failing that, anyone know any good phone numbers to contact/harras people that can actually get stuff done at O2?
