[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
Hi there I bought a Sony MEX-BT2800 radio this weekend and it has a built-in Bluetooth receiver for phone and music. My EVO pairs fine with the radio but the sound quality is really poor I have background static and a hissing noise whenever the bluetooth is being used. I thought perhaps it was the radio so I tried my phone on there floor model and I had the same noise problems. It could very well be the radio but some reviews I've read online from other buyers say there Bluetooth audio is crystal clear using there Iphones. I had my old HTC Excalibur lying around so I threw some mp3's on it and tried that phone on my radio and the static was still there but much quieter and the hissing noise was gone. So now I'm thinking it could be the phones Bluetooth radio that's causing the excessive static.

So I guess my main question is. Is there anyway to possibly adjust the bluetooth driver or audio stack to work better with my radio. I remember back in my G1 days Cyanogen would release new roms with bluetooth stack fixes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtripnic:
This might be self-explanatory, but double check that the volume on your phone is all the way up when streaming. I get some hissy noise when the media volume is low, but I know that the sound quality of the bluetooth on the EVO is very good when paired with my car audio (at top volume), might be that you have a defective device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
Yeah I tried some different volume settings. Tried low med and high volumes on the phone didn't really matter what volume was on the phone. It must be the built in bluetooth module in this radio. I'm assuming your setup uses an external bluetooth module?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtripnic:
I have a Dual brand deck installed and I also bought a separate bluetooth adapter (with a mic and a 'call' button) that attaches to the rear of the deck via a cable, made by the same company. Maybe see if you can try connecting your EVO to a different type of audio device, if the problem persists your phone is likely at fault.

I'm having the same issues with my EVO on a different device - specifically the blackberry bluetooth media gateway. I have a little more technical details posted over here:

I've noticed a lag while using Plantronics Discovery headset. The headset was working fine previously with an HTC Fuze. So, I was under the impression that this was probably due to a faulty blue tooth stack on the device. Has anyone else had similar experience with Plantronics or other blue tooth headsets?

hey....i have a problem with my htc elf it was working fine till it fell and now when i turn it on it shows white n black color horizontally....1 thing more the phone is working fine i mean after some time i can hear the intro music and even receive calls but no display.....so do i need to change the lcd

thnks
[Touch GSM General] gargashish0901:
Yeah.. actually your digitizer has broken down not your touch screen.. Get it replaced.. :)
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
To clarify. It is your LCD that is broken, your digitiser may well be but as you can not see to test...

One way would be to hook it up to your pc, run mymobile, and see if pressing the digitiser registers the command when viewing it on mymobile.

[Touch GSM General] cyber_02000:
thnx for the reply .......it does give a responce when i touch the screen ....i mean the lcd brightens up....!!! btw what is digitilizer..???
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Digitizer is the thin screen above the LCD screen which recognises the stylus/finger touch (Analog) input into Digital Signals.

[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
Is it possible to have the regular slide to unlock followed by the pattern?

If I use a PIN or password, I get the slide to unlock screen first, but when I use a pattern, I lose the slide to unlock screen.

I really like being able to put my phone on vibrate on the unlock screen, but I want to use a pattern to unlock it.

Can I have both? Is it possible?
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
If you can't find a way to get the slide back on, you can still put your phone on vibrate from the lock screen. If you press and hold the power button on the lock screen you get the option for 'silent mode' it is the same as the slide though, on 2.2 it switches to vibrate.
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
In case anyone else was wanting this... you can do it with WidgetLocker... :)
[HD2 General] Phantom1275:
Hi people,

I have recently dumped a Omnia2 for a Desire, just to try Android.

Although it's a beautiful phone, battery life is cr@p, so I'm considering a come back to WM, maybe to HTC HD2.

But before I make my decision, I want to know if the HD2 battery can last for at least 40 hours in my normal usage:

- 40 minutes of phone calls (made/received);

- 90 minutes (1,5 hours) of listening to music over bluetooth, using a bluetooth stereo headset;

- Auto-sync weather every 3 hours;

- Auto-sync email every 3 hours;

- 10-15 minutes of internet browsing;

- Manual sync of my Google account to update agenda and contacts twice a day.

All connections are made using 3G, I'm over a 3G network all day long.

With this daily usage, I got my Omnia2 running for about 65 hours! Let's say, almost 3 days long! I even left it on all night long, without worrying with the battery. Each day consumed 30%-35% of battery juice.

With that usage in my Desire, after one day 45% to 50% of battery juice is gone. I have to turn it off at night so I can use it the next day without recharging. It's about 26-28 hours of total usage before I have to charge it. I don't know if this is normal, maybe I just got spoiled by Omnia2 battery.

What about HD2? Does anyone have a similar usage? Do you think that if I use a HD2 that way, its battery will last longer than Desire battery?
[HD2 General] Hoodeddeathman:
If I had usage like that I wouldn't carry two batteries around with me :-) Music trashes my battery and takes usage above 300mah which in theory is just over 4 hours and I listen quite a fair bit. The desire has a larger battery than the HD2 anyway and I don't think win mo has that great power management.
[HD2 General] kam333:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but i seriously doubt that you will be happy with the HD2 battery performance (based on your usage)

im sure you're aware there are many threads re: the poor battery issue, personally i use my phone much more conservatively than you do & struggle to get more than 1 days use (usually 30% charge remaining by the end of the day).

i mostly use edge (switch to 3g if i want to download large email attachments/ web files or watch online vids)

all updates are manual & wifi & bluetooth switched off.

i decided to stop worrying about the battery some time ago & invested in 2 spare batteries. its not ideal but in this case i think the pros of the HD2 out weight the cons.

probably not what you wanted to hear, but this has been my experience, maybe someone can offer more positive feedback.

however if you like winmo, im sure you wont be disappointed with this excellent phone.

all the best. ;)
[HD2 General] theabsurdman:
battery extender

you could try a battery extender like the just mobile gum pro that i recently bought for UK £33 shipped. it's Li-ion with a capacity of 4400mAh, sufficient to fully recharge my hd2 2-3 times from flat without the inconvenience of having to pop the back and soft reset the phone as you would swapping in a spare hd2 battery.
[HD2 General] dan138zig:
wow, sorry to say this but hd2 is no match for your usage :(
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
that is interesting. How long does it take to recharge the phone???
[HD2 General] gerhardvr:
See this thread

Hi,

Take a look at this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=718173

I regularly get more than 48 hours out of my battery but then I down listen to music much and definitely not via bluetooth so I have no idea how that would affect battery life.

I dow however use my phone a lot for reading ebooks which mean the screens on for extended periods and I still get to 48 hours +.

I'm busy transferring audio books to my phone so will be able to report back soon about extended periods of audio listening but that will be with the wired headset.

Regards
[HD2 General] theabsurdman:
similar to the mains charger -- a couple of hours, and you can use the phone while it's charging (albeit slowing the charge rate). note: this is using the htc-supplied sync cable to charge which might be limiting the current draw to 500mA. the gum pro is rated for 1000mA output and i've just ordered a mini-to micro- usb adaptor with the data lines shorted which apparently fools the phone into thinking a mains charger is connected so that it may draw more current and charge faster still.

i forgot to mention before that the gum pro is relatively small and light -- think the weight of a pack of cards and about 2/3rds the size.
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
I do;

30min calls a day

1hr wifi router

30+min video playback

20 reminders a day (sound n vibrate)

All net updates every 30min (twitter, 3 emails, weather)

6am off charger - 6pm back on charger and usually has 40-50% battery life...

I reckon the HD2 would come close to your needs but there would be no margin for error. If it did what you asked the battery would die doing it...
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I don't get people who want a phone to last 2-3 days...

I mean, don't people sleep at least a few hours everyday (during which the phone could recharge)?
[HD2 General] Phantom1275:
It's a very good battery life you have there. I guess it would fit my needs.

BTW, you are on Telstra operator, right? If I'm not wrong, Telstra has 3G 850mhz. Wouldn't this better battery life?

Two things you can't do easily with capacitative touch screen phones:

1: Accurate image editing / use of painting apps

2: Accurate VNC control of remote desktop machines

I've tried a capacitative screen phone with an aftermarket stylus / swab thing -

not so good..

Is there a good WinMo / Droid phone out there with a nice big resistive screen

and an accurate stylus?

Thanks if you have any tips!
[General Topics] xaccers:
Touch HD (blackstone) is a great resistive screen WinMo phone.

Good battery life too considering it's size.
[General Topics] brummiesteven:
I think the HTC Tattoo is the only resistive Android phone.
[General Topics] Fuzalert2k:
Easily the best would be the Xperia X1.
[General Topics] Akulamenuri:
You could always get a N900 and put Android or Windows on it

i have to agree with .. xaccers..

...Touch HD (blackstone)..!!!

the big plus, is that with the big , hd screen, you can

"tweak " and customize it, that it is very.. very finger friendly..!!!!!!

i always have to decide which, is my better option ,

finger or the phone stylus ...?

good luck

[General Topics] topher:
Thanks folks, these all sound like good possibilities.

I think the HTC touch HD sounds like the best option - if I can still find one.

I guess I am a vintage handset enthusiast :)

The N900 sounds good too but I'm doubtful

I could get Android or windows(!?) on it easily

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcodc:
Hello,

I've tried a couple roms, including Damage Control, Fresh 2.0d, Fresh 2.3.3 and ZenEXP.

All of the roms except the ZenEXP constantly give me an error 98.

Data Call Failure

Error Code 98. Network Error. Sign in failed. Please wait a moment and try again. You may need to go to [Settings\PCS Vision] and select [Update Vision Profile]. If this problem persists, you may need to contact Sprint.

Even though everything on the phone works, including GPS, MMS, WAP, Text / Call.

Please note that my phone is flashed to a different carrier called Cricket.

I think the only reason I don't get the Error 98 is because ZenEXP is a GSM based rom?

If that's the case, does anyone know what file(s) I might be able to modify in one of the CDMA based roms in order not to get that error? Or just a solution to make that error go away on CDMA based roms?

Thanks for the help!

-Chris
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcodc:
Anyone else get this error?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
try this rom

BitterSweet v1.2

it's made for non-sprint phones/carriers.

how is that cricket service? what area are you in?

i've been thinking about doing this just to get my bill down to $40/month. pretty tempting.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcodc:
I never travel so its quite good. Everything unlimited for $40 a month is a godsend.

I live in Tulsa, OK. If I goto Oklahoma City I lose service, but I only go there like once a year.

Other than that I always have full bars and call quality is good.

I will have to try that Rom you mentioned.

I like the Damage Control and Fresh roms because they are fast and reliable.

The ZenEXP is a very nice rom except it makes my phone really sluggish even after a fresh wipe. Takes like 5 seconds for it to unlock, sometimes takes 2 or 3 seconds to go between home screens? Damage Control and Fresh are isntant.

I thought it would be quite the opposite considering ZenEXP is OC'd but it's not.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzel67:
I've had a Droid Eris on Cricket since March and never received the 98 error. However, I just recently flashed my new Evo to Cricket, and wallah...Data Call Failure Error 98. It appears this is certainly a Sprint related error, and seems to happen anytime my 3G connection hiccups.

I'm wondering if this error is happening for the same reason on the Hero as it is on the Evo?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcodc:
Yeah that's when mine would do it. Or anytime I enable WiFi as it switches and loses 3g, bam error 98. No idea why.. its normal for service to lose and gain bars and signal.. not sure why the phone makes a big deal about it.

It's so annoying that I'm sticking with gsm roms until a fix is found. It will seriously pop up and interrupt you no matter what you are doing. Pretty lame.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzel67:
Yep..it's quite annoying. I have found that I can reproduce the error on my Evo (Android phone) by going to Settings/System updates/Update profile. I immediately get the 98 error...so it's something to do with Sprint programming on these phones that tries to connect their network to update a profile and then fails of course since flashed phones aren't on the Sprint network.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiles:

So I tried installing DC 3.2.3 and once it finished installing and rebooting the phone won't boot and instead is caught on a boot loop with the sprint animation. I'm a complete newbie to android hacking and such so tell me if I messed up. Can i fix this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
Boot loops after installing ROMs are nearly always cause by not wiping the data and caches before the ROM was loaded.

I suggest booting into recovery, doing a wip of data, cache, and dalvik cahce, then loading the ROM

[HTC Aria General] Il.spooky:
Picked up an Aria and immediately found I was heading overseas. Managed to get it unlocked and put a new sim in, but now it will not connect to 3G networks. It will connect to edge quite nicely though.

HTC told me that the only way to have 3G access was to have the AT&T sim in the phone. I really doubt that, and after reading the threads on here I think I have come to the right place to find a work around.

So any suggestions or fixes??

If this is something easy please forgive the newb.
[HTC Aria General] breakeven:
If you are still in the United States, are you using T-Mobile? If so then the 3g bands are different from At&t's. It will only connect to edge. Also if you go anywhere outside the US then the same is true.
[HTC Aria General] Il.spooky:
I would think that were the case if the sim carried the frequency settings but the phone does correct?

I am in Israel and when the AT&T sim is in the unlocked Aria I have 3G, put Cellcoms sim in the Aria and 3G goes away. Now if I put the same Cellcom sim in an unlocked mytouch 3G, well there is 3G again. All of this is happening on the cellcom network by the way. So that tells me that there has to be some setting that AT&T's sim is tripping either when inserted or removed??

Now does that make sense..... Or not?
[HTC Aria General] breakeven:
hmmm... that is a pickle then. I couldn't tell you about that. You might want to contact Cellcom and ask them personally about it. I don't know if there is a settings file that changes that. I know it only comes with two bands and maybe the at&t sim is connecting you to another network that you didn't list and maybe that is the mix up.
[HTC Aria General] Il.spooky:
Yea sat with one of their guys for 2.5 hours yesterday. Was making him crazy, that is why I broke down and called HTC. Thanks for the input.

[Droid Eris Android Development] darkside86:
so i have tried to wipe my ext partition and everytime I try to do it it tells me to do it via adb. I have enough battery life and not sure if i can do this from recovery or if i have to do it via adb as it tells me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] es0tericcha0s:
I suppose it might be faster to go the ADB route, but if you aren't that familiar with it, then you could go this way:

Copy your files from SD card to Computer

Reboot into Recovery

Repartition Card - this will reformat and partition to the size you want

Reinstall files from Computer to SD card

This takes a few moments for the transfers but other than that this way requires next to no effort.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Spencer_Moore:
Plug your phone in. Low battery life or full SD card will give you this issue. I always bet the former so try wiping again after plugging in your phone.
