[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenpoman:
I am having issues with dd2.7 recognizing my pictures or music files.

root explorer will see them and play them.

it seems that whenever the os is looking for the files they are not in the right place.

it worked fin with the old dc2.08

it works fine with rc0 froyo

i have installed dd2.7/GS/uv then repartitioned the sd put the music files in /sdcard/media/music and it saw them and played them.....until i rebooted then it was back to not seeing them at all.

in fact I cant push any pictures to the sdcard and have them show up in the gallery they do show up if i take the picture with the camera.

i cant get any custom wallpapers to show up either
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codelockdown:
Do a full wipe, and reflash, but remember to nandroid
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenpoman:
i am not a noob....

so yes i have done a full wipe.

i have reformatted my sdcard

i have tried without the GS installed.

logcat shows nothing
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
Don't know about pics, but I know with froyo I had a music problem. And went through every file with mp3 tagger and made sure there was id tag info for both 1 & 2. Pain in the ass, but it worked
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vakbrain:
I'm thinking about changing my current TP2 for the upcoming HTC Desire but I have a concern : I have a windows mobile app (an encyclopedia) that runs exclusively on windows mobile os and it doesn't exist on android. Is there a winmo emulator on android within which I could run winmo apps ? A kind of Ubuntu Wine perhaps ?

(I searched about this and found nothing...)

Thanks in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tjhart85:
Wine by far predates Ubuntu!

But to answer your question: No.

There isn't an emulator to run WinMo on Android.

There are plenty of encyclopedias for Android though, do none of them have what you want?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vakbrain:
Unfortunately, the application I'm using on WinMo is a non-public kind of encyclopedia (business stuff). Perhaps I'll have to wait for the company that made the application to port it to Android ....

Ok, Latley i keep seeing more and more stuff that does not belong in the dev section and its making things not very organized. This makes the Moderators and Admins do stuff they shouldn't need to, but since most people doesn't realize this. Maybe once they read this they might know.

~Stuff that belongs in DEV Section~

1.) ROMS

2.) Decussion of Root

3.) ROOTING APPS

4.) Mostly Deveoplement for things that contains rooted needs for our device.

~Stuff that doesnt belong~

1.) All APPS. Meaning APPS that run on the phone such as a .apk (POST HERE FOR THAT!

2.) General Issues ( POST HERE FOR THAT!

3.) Duplicate Post. Please search the forums before you post.

4.) porablly more just i dont have the time to type everything out this morning.

*MODERATORS + ADMINS PLEASE STICKY THIS IF YOU WANT*

Please don't Flame me. I'm just trying to help keep this place organized.

[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
From looking around seems we are the only ones?
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Huh? What makes you say that's the antenna?
[Captivate General] kkeo:
My htc aria also has the same thing.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
What else could it be? And its right next to the external Antenna port. And why make the back metal with contacts?
[Captivate General] temperbad:
The antenna is at the bottom. Thats surely not it...
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
GSM Antenna. That could be BT, GPS, Wifi?
[Captivate General] tbae2:
That could be to ground the phone.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
If the phone needed to be grounded wouldn't it not run when the battery cover was off?
[Captivate General] TexUs:
There's two little rubberish/paper things between the metal, it doesn't touch the back.

Not sure what it is but it doesn't have anything to do with contacting the cover or there wouldn't be that material keeping it from coming in contact with it.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Hmm, looks like on mine they are contact pads. I can see shiny meterial where it contacts to it. I was guessing the powedercoated back doesn't conduct very well so they put the pads on. Or else it would look like the simcard blocker right above the circle don't ya think?
[Captivate General] TexUs:
True, I had never touched them, LOL... Yea nevermind what I said earlier then.

I still don't think this is an antenna because I'd suspect if you bridged them with your finger (like I just tried) the signal would drop, which isn't the case.
[Captivate General] tikicult:
The one on the left moves in and out. I assume its to let the phone know when the back cover is off.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
We gatta see if it drops Wifi, bluetooth or GPS single when you touch them. Almost all contacts i've seen with something you can remove move in and out. Like old Cellphone chargers and stuff. Maybe its for some kinda accsessory we have not seen yet that clips on the back? I dunno?
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I thought during one of the walkthroughs with the phone, someone mentioned that it was indeed the antenna of the phone.
[Captivate General] dewt:
There is a thin metal border that runs around the front of the HTC kaiser that has the exact same mechanism with the pins and the bare metal and it is the antenna. I wouldn't doubt this is the same thing. Touching both the pins at the same time does not make it drop signal, but having that metal gone really does a number on the phones reception.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Well the human body does conduct so maybe touch th em both with something rubber? okay I used the two earbuds from the headset and sure enough it goes from 3 bars to 0

wait that might have been a fluke.. i'm only loosing one bar now with the earbuds I must have just turned it the right way before
[Captivate General] madjsp:
In my house, my service always fluctuates. When I use a Nokia, i can go from full bars to dropping a call by moving around. With my iPhone, I rarely saw a full bar. It is the same with this phone.

But you know what? I haven't dropped a call in my house, nor have I dropped a call anywhere else.

Since someone was sitting in the middle of their house, and showed how white-knuckling a phone kills the signal, everyone is worried about their antenna. As long as you keep your call going, does it matter whether or not you lost a bar or two?

Most people now are just looking for a reason to critisize all phones. And yes, EVERY phone loses a bar or two when you squeeze it.

If you are dropping calls, just leave the phone and get another one. If you're not, just ignore the bars and enjoy a sweet ass phone!
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
This thread has nothing to do with loosing bars. Its about what are these metal contacts on the back of the phone.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
until the post previous to mine.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
BS.

Metal gone on mine and it's still at -51dB, 5 bars.

Metal back on and it's at -51dB, 5 bars.

If I touch the phone I can get it to fluctuate to -91dB, 3 bars... So don't try to feed me the "you must be in an excellent signal area to where it won't matter" nonsense.

Really don't think these are the antennas, but IF THEY WERE, the connection to the case doesn't seem to do squat.
[Captivate General] dewt:
I wasn't saying that it affected the Captivate at all, I was referring to my Kaiser. I was just implying that this mechanism is real and implemented on some other phones.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
If you watch this, I think this is the video where he says it is the antenna.

http://www.androidcentral.com/att-samsung-captivate-hands
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
But again, it could be the Wifi antenna or the blue tooth antenna. Or both considering two contacts. Well checking Wifi I can make it for from 68db with the back on to 34db touching it with my rubber things. But it still hard to tell if thats what it is.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I find it hard to believe that Samsung would pull the same mistake (though there's isn't doing the same thing) of putting an antenna where you can directly touch it, like Apple did.

Of course perhaps ATT requested it. I dunno... I'm gunna hop into the Vibrant forums and ask if they've got them, too.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
So the vibrant guys (follow my link above to the thread) don't have these at all.

Which suggests it DOES have something to do with the metal back... hmmmm...
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
No, there have been reports of antenna problems across all other Galaxy S variants as well.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
We aren't talking about antenna problems, we're talking about what these are...
[Captivate General] phoenixms:
I had a Nokia that had an antenna built into the Battery Cover. It was for the FM transmitter. I agree that it's not the GSM antenna but could be the Wifi or BT antenna.

On another note.... The iphone 4 issue is about bridging two different antennas not just touching it. By touching the gap on the iPhone 4 you're bridging two different antennas.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Can't get anything performance-wise to change with the battery off or my finger bridging the two.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
If you take off the metal back you find that it is not the problem
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
Maybe for some accessory they'll make available.

From my Samsung Captivate
[Captivate General] emuneee:
My old Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 had a metal backing with bronze colored contacts looking exactly like the contacts here. Nothing was confirmed with that, but rumor was that it enhanced GPS reception.
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
How would they have known there would be such issues since the hardware of both devices was likely developed last year?
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
Because they were not as paranoid about security leaks as apple and probably didn't have the phone in a rubber case made to look like a 3GS for it's entire development cycle?
[Captivate General] davidusr:
Someone said something about future accessory? A "Touchstone" type charger sure would be nice.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate General] heygrl:
The Vibrant has a standard antenna in this location (it's attached to the phone, covered but visible), and that proves that this is just for BT/WiFi/GPS/etc. and not the internal antenna located at the bottom of the phone.

Does having it off mess with WiFi or BT reception?

Also your guysz phones go down to -51dBm?
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Like I said above, I haven't been able to do anything with these that kills any reception at all...

And yea, my phone went to -51dBm... Doesn't seem to go lower (err... higher) than that though.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Maybe it has something to do with the metal back? Like maybe it doesn't increase or decrease reception. Just lets it pass through normally. Like a passive antenna. We need to electrical type the prongs and put the cover back on.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
That'd accomplish the same thing as taking the cover off...
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
No because the radio works under plastic, maybe fingers and other stuff. So if you take the back off all thats covering the radio is plastic. If you put the metal cover on the contacts touch the metal but block the radio with metal.
[Captivate General] li1on:
i think the white patches should be pH paper....take the cover off, and drop some water ON THE BACK COVER ONLY on the white squares...if it changes color, it's pH paper.

Some companies use it to tell if a returned phone has been water damaged.
[Captivate General] tysj:
Pretty sure the white/metallic squares are just exposed aluminum. Unless there are other white squares on the back that I don't have.
[Captivate General] Battlehymn:
No, it is indeed bare AL.

I do not believe that it has anything to do with the antenna ...

Check this out ... https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...me=N&application_id=303560&fcc_id='A3LSGHI897

From looking at those photos the contacts appear to be used to bridge the SIM/SDHC card module to the PCB with the CPU/GPU, possibly for gound. I'm not sure, though ground seems plausible, also note the copper foil on the backplate of the phone. Also, the battery cover has a small rectangular "chip" on it that seems to serve no purpose. My first thought was that it could be an electronic component give it the proper resistance, but I no longer think so ... still, it does something, maybe just a spacer.

There are some good pictures of the phone's internals, but I wish there was more detail.

(edit)

Here is the link to the Vibrant docs for comparison ... https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...me=N&application_id=159681&fcc_id='A3LSGHT959'

The antenna's on these phones are vastly different, and the absence of the contactors on both the main PCB and the SIM/SDHC module are very apparent on the Vibrant, it doesn't even have the spot open on the SIM module.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
The plastic chip on the back of the cover is to hold the microsd card from being popped out but mistake.
[Captivate General] Battlehymn:
Perhaps, I had thought so too, but the SDHC card slot has a spring retention mechanism and the card is not easy to extract when it's inserted (just tried it). Also the Vibrant has nothing similar on its battery door and its card slot is nearly identical.

It seems to me that if the phone was to sustain a strike hard enough to dislodge the card that would be the least of your problems, still ... it could very well be what you say.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
Yes, the Vibrant does have the same on it's battery door. It's for the MicroSD card slot. The Vibrant/i9000 doesn't have this trickery, it has a simple antenna attached to the phone.
[Captivate General] screwyluie:
if you watch the cnet review of the captivate preview model they said if you take the back off after a while the phone would turn itself off, perhaps this never made it into retail? but I would think that's what the springy piece of metal is for
[Captivate General] smeltn:
I think its for our GPS, and thats why I GPS sucks!!

LMAO just kidding.. I have been trying to figure out what they are for also
[Captivate General] heygrl:
It's for BT, GPS, and WiFi.

No mystery here folks..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apaseall:
I am not sure of the naming convention for these things so bear with me.

There are two splash screens when I turn on my Leo.

The first one is presently the 'Stick Together' one.

The second is a 'windows' screen.

My leo vibrates during the first splash screen.

I did have a stock rom 1.66. I saw only the stock htc 'quietly brilliant'? splash.

The I got the Tmobi rom, 2.13? i think.

Hence the 'stick together' splash.

I now have Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.21909.5.0.93_2.14_Nu_Era_576MB_V2_WWE.

Hence the 'windows' splash.

I don't like the 'stick together' splash at all (understatement).

I got BsB Tweaks 1.6.cab and disabled the animation for boot.

I have searched this leo forum and found a couple of items in relation to these splash screens. One even made reference to having a sound played during boot.

Unfortuately neigher of these worked for me.

So ... would it be possible for some people to make a sticky devoted to just these items please?

I do need the steps laid out, as many others might also, so that a noob like me can follow them.

fyi. i used HSPL3_PKG.exe for the rom changes, taking the 2.08? without the .000 option. leo seems to work well atm.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
the first part is flashed directly to teh phone, just like a rom or radio. The second, animated part, also where the sound can play(i think) and the third part, are part of the rom you have flashed. This means if the rom you flash doesnt also contain part 1, you will be left with whichever splashscreen flashed last.

HERE's a good example of the three parts (plus sound),

or HERE for details on how to make your own.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apaseall:
I now see 3 images or splashes.

i've just done a task29 and reload of dutty rom.

thanks for the links.

I will take a crack at it again soon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [chris b]:
Hi first post

I've been rooting my desire today using the forum guide and may have run into a problem. I thought I better ask questions before I make matters worse.

I ran into a problem when I couldn't get the r5-desire-root-alt zip file to download, so I googled htc desire root in hope of finding it elsewhere, which I thought I did. I had in fact found r6-desire-root-alt and set about using the guide on this forum with the above file.

I've ran into a problem when I get to "In the command prompt/terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat', './step2-mac.sh' or './step2-linux.sh' as appropriate." as the step 2 bat file doesn't exist in r6.

I've since been able to download the r5 file and I'm hoping that I can use the step2 bat from that but think it would be wise to ask people a bit more savvy when it comes to doing this.

The guide I found with the r6 file is on modaco. My other option is to follow the latter stages of that guide but I haven't copied the update zip to my sd card, which is now in my desire and in recovery mode. I didn't want to disconnect, turn off and do this in case I made matters worse.

All help & advice appreciated.

If it helps at all my software is version 1.19.161.5 (Vodafone UK) and the bootloader is 0.80.0000

[Android Software Development] derek4484:
I have an idea for an app that somebody could create.

I had an iPhone for 3 years and there was an app called F-Stream for it. It worked flawlessly. I mainly used it for streaming radio stations to it over the cell network. There's a radio station about 150 miles away that carries my favorite college team's football, basketball, and baseball games. But I've yet to be able to find anything that will stream this radio station's feed to my Android phone (AT&T) Captivate. When using F-Stream it said this radio station was a WMA stream at 20kbps (its low because its only sports talk radio, no music). I have listed the link to the radio feed below. If anybody knows of an Android app that will currently play it please let me know. Or somebody could be awesome and create an app that'll do it, I'd pay for it and I'm sure tons of other people would to, as the entire iphone community knows about F-stream and loves it, I'm sure the Android community would love it too.

hello

if it matters i'm running villain 2.2 rom and wanted to ask if there is an option to make the phone in an call silent, i don't mean to disable my microphone, i mean to disable the caller's sound... with the volume buttons i can make it very quiet but not silent

i know there are apps liek flipsilent but they just make the phone ringing silent .. not the call itself

greetings (and i hope you can read my bad english)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
Change your ring-tone to, well a silent one? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] K3strel:
i don't want to make the ring tone quiet..

for example i phone with friend A , then another friend B talks in real to me...

and then i want to make friend A silent on the phone that i can talk to friend B...

but i don't find any possibility to do that
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
Well, the 2.2 is not complete yet.

You should report this problem to the villian guys, by either PM them. Or posting a thread over at the villian forums.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] K3strel:
has 2.1 got that function?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sublue:
Yes, i it has. ;)

If you like Villian's ROM's you should try out VillianRom 12.

But, remember that there's other developers at the Hero development, so i also recommend having a look at their ROM's. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] K3strel:
ok thanks for you help :D

yes i know about villain 12 i flashed nearly every rom from this forum but i prefer vanilla and superhero doesn't has german language :) or it hadn't the german language when i testet it.. maybe it's included now

After the official 2.1 ROM came out, every ROM seems to have the complete language pack.

IF you are having the SD Card Removed notification when in Android. Do the following:

boot your phone into fastboot (hold back and power button)

open Cmd : fastboot qxdmenable 0
