[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
So, first of all, did you push the custom ringers to /system/media/audio/ringtones/? (FYI, you know you can just put u'r custom ringtones to u'r SD card under /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ and you won't have to waste system space...) aside from that fact, you need to make sure u've pushed u'r ringtones to the system/media/audio/ringtones/ directory in the phone. Once you've done that, you shouldn't have any problems accessing them via android's native ringtone selector.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vvh:
Thank you for the reply Androidious.

Yes, I pushed the ringtones correctly to /system/media/audio/ringtones/. Accessing them isn't the problem though, it's simply that there's a process that controls ringtones, and I'm trying to figure out which it is so I can put it on an exclude list from my Task Manager.

Here's a list of processes that run when my phone is turned on and everything is working:

Sprint Navigation

People

com.smithmicro.DM

Maps

IM

IM

Htc Checkin Service

Sprint Updater

Meebo IM

Updater

Note Me

CacheMate

Messages

Voicemail

Gmail

Settings

Is it possible that the People process controls ringtones?

Hi,

when i tried running the Haret soft ware on my phone with the defult.txt document i kept receiving PLEASE SET START OF RAM (RAMADDR).

So i opened the default doc

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000

set MTYPE 1667

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

but when i added

set RAMADDR 0X10000000

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000

set MTYPE 1667

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

and tried running the Haret i get a whole new error message saying

terminating Haret due to unhandled exception

what does that mean. Please help and Thanks in Advance.

Delete all Android files from your SD card and re-extract all files again
[HD2 General] Stephducated20:
Hi,

I have just tried what you have suggested but it doesn't work is there another program or link that i can download is there something other than the Haret because its not working for my phone

Thx
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
What do you mean "with the default"? Are you just clicking on the HARET file or are you clicking on the default file? Just click HARET. Also, there is an entire thread on this that will solve any problems you have, please go here
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
Just switched to leofroyo, using radio 5.08 and pershoot's 2.6.35 kernal. Set CPU is set to 384 Max when screen is off. I've been unplugged for over 2 hours now and its still showing 100% charge. Even battery apps from the market shows 100% I KNOW this is incorrect. What do I need to do to get it working again? I've rebooted with no change. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
Well, I went into the recovery console and wiped the battery stats. Rebooted phone and still showing 100%, but it just now dropped to 99%, 98% guess its fixed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinny8030:
Has anyone made a froyo build for the cdma Hero in which everything is working? If not then why not the source has been out for awhile now so whats up peeps. Any links to all builds? ANY i said. And im not complaining just tired of searching through threads, and i have an EVO but i like my hero just the same.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Why haven't YOU made one yet?

I don't get people that make posts like this.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boydroid:
nope...good luck
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomecomb:
Wow. Really?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritcrusher33:
exactly..lol I mean if u really want one dont complain..go build it yourself.. or keep quiet. be patient like the rest of us. and go support darch for even trying to get a froyo build to us hero users!!

Be glad we still have a few devs around to keep us hero users going for awhile.. since most have jumped ship to the evo etc.... so show some support etc if not guess u could alway go get a evo,lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arariel:
Oh man guys, he's right... I mean, it's not like devs have been working hard on giving us FroYo already... they should listen to this guy! :rolleyes:

Really though, OP... this has got to be one of the most ungrateful posts I've read yet. If Darch the rest could give us a fully working 2.2 right now, they would... They're working hard on it, and they provide these roms to us for FREE. And then you came in here and basically clapped your hands twice and said "chop chop!"

Just be patient, and maybe a bit more respectful.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bk718:
seriously?? you made a thread to ask this question..

1. we have a Q&A section, and this isn't it..

2. sense u are in this section, did it not occur to you to check the available ROM's for ur answer???

by the way, to the others that have commented.. i don't think this guy even knows theres a froyo version out at all.. i don't think hes tryna speed darch up or anything.. i just think he hasn't checked this forum for much of anything.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fortune82:
A huge part of it is that they aren't porting it - they're actually using the source files to build it for the Hero.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlagaDeRock:
Darch and company are building the 2.2 rom from the ground up so there are issues being ironed out. The current 2.2 version is RC0 (Release Candidate Zero) aka its in beta meaning its open to download and use but please either help fix the bugs or at the very least report them. This is how we the users can help move collectively towards a bug free froyo release. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinny8030:
Wow negativity!!

I think some of you people missunderstand the point of this post. Its not to complain but to get some links all in one place for anyone who has built a Froyo for the hero. And to awnser the smartassed remark i havent built one because i dont know how. I am a mechanic and amateur computer builder.

Sorry for any confusion, just want one place for the links instead of needing to search through all the threads to find them.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinny8030:
This isnt Q&A its a place for LINKS to any Froyo builds. I repeat ANY builds.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexskrew:
Ok dude, I guess I see what you were TRYING to ask/say/organize, but you did it in a real Asshattery way.

What you should have said was "Please All Devs put your FroYo Links Here"

With a message that should have said "Due to the threads bouncing around the forum, sometimes it's kind of hard to see all the options so I figure we should have links to these threads in one spot and we could make this thread a sticky".

It's no secret these devs (even though I claim one rom, I am NOT a dev. I am a kitchen user) bust their ass and take pride in the work they have accomplished making these froyo builds with no monetary gain except that they can reap the fruits of their work in using their own builds.

I know if it were me then I would have jumped the gun and taken offense and honestly I am surprised that there were not a flood of flame posts here because of it.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beyondinferno:
Okay, As of now Darch's 2.2 builds are in beta. That being said they are not be posted on xda by him (just guessing here) because if he did, THOUSANDS of people would post useless questions and turn the thread into a joke.

Be patient, and wait for a final to get posted.

Or, get on the IRC channel and help test the current builds.....

My 2 cents.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AboveUnrefined:
I think we should give darch some $$ or petition Google to do so OR (if you can) give him a secure job providing these generous updates!

What's the incentive otherwise? This isn't OUR work.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahager88:
I could appreciate a thread with links to all froyo builds... however...

There's only two that I know of, and one was abandoned when Darch and co. started workin on CM 6.0.

All in all, a visit to the IRC could have told you this much. Come join the fun there if you want to get in on this thing and help finish it.:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Someone called me a smartass on the internet. I'm all butt hurt now. :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
As mentioned there was on froyo build that was being ported. Once darchstar started working on CM6 that was abandoned. So the only link is to this thread which then tells you to check out the IRC Channel

And as far as I can tell this will probably be the only froyo build, so no need trying to gather other froyo builds links.

nah nah screw these people kissing ass,

hurry rom developers make me a ROM that actually works!!!

do all the hard work for me:p
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athanos:
There are so many links there that I think the request is warrented. 2 whole links for Froyo is too much to look through the forums for. And the fact that they are active threads found on the first page makes it even harder to find. They should make a thread with the links and also make it a sticky so that it can always be found.

Come on man. These devs work hard and they don't have time to waste with such meaningless requests. If you want a thread with all the links then make one yourself, or better yet go grab the source code and make your own Froyo port. It never hurts to expand your knowledge and try to do somethnig that others might appreciate. No one gets paid for their development here. Each one of the devs here also have lives that they live outside of these forums and most likely work a 9-5 job 5 days a week. Just because the source code drops does not mean that it will only take a few minutes to port it. A lot is involved with making a ROM from source code like this. I would suggest that you do as others have already done and join the IRC for the Froyo port and be a part of it's developement.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but your first post was not very tactful in asking your question. Also, this should be in the Q&A section because it is just a question. Your post has done nothing but take up space in this section with no real contribution to developement issues. And me having to respond to you just took up even more space. Please think about how you phrase your questions in the future. It will help to reduce the amount of flames you receive. In addition, think about whether or not your post will contribute to the forum category so that you post in the proper section.

Again, I apologize for the sarcasm and criticism. I'm not normally one to get involved or comment on such things, but this hit home to me because I am trying to learn and in the middle of compiling my own kernel and making my own ROM. It's not easy work and if it were me I would take personal offense.

[Vibrant General] baddkar:
I like how you link contacts on this phone and love that I can have 1 contact have their twitter, facebook, and my gmail contact info all linked and synced. Marking the appropriate one as default makes the contact's name appear how I want it but I can't figure out how to pick which picture shows up for the contact. If the gmail contact has a picture associated I can remove it but I can't choose between facebook or twitter per contact.

any ideas?
[Vibrant General] baddkar:
One particular example is a friend who has a google account, facebook, and twitter account Linked.

The Google account and the Facebook account both have profile pictures, yet it uses the default Twitter picture. How do I pick which one is used?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Has anybody experienced so far any sort of pixel failure? My Xperia X1 has developed one recently. Its at the upper edge of the screen approximately in the middle. Its one pixel only that is costantly white. Once it was there and disappeared after a while and now it has reappeared.

My device still has got warranty but Im afraid to send it in because of several reasons:

- Would it be covered? I mean it is only a minor disturbance.

- I dont want my phone being replaced. Apart from this minor flaw my Xperia is perfect, no cracks, no keyboard failure, no nothing.

On the other hand if I dont claim warranty now the device might develop more pixel failures and I will not be able to get it repaired under warranty because it (the warranty) will be expired.

What do you think? Has anyone ever heard of such problems?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:
Mine has not developed any pixel failures yet. Lucky me. When does your warranty expires? I would call up the service line (in Germany we have an Xperia Center) and ask them if it's covered.

But regarding your fear of a new phone - absolutely reasonable. Those could be in much worse condition than your phone is now. Thus mentioned, when ONE pixel failure is not bothering you, keep the phone (in my humble opinion). This does not make the phone likely to have more pixel failures...I would not see a connection

(...but I'm also not a pro in that area)

Hope I could help ya!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
The warranty will expire in November 2010. I think I will wait a bit to see in what condition my phone will be in a few months. The pixel failure is barely visible because it is really at the edge of the screen. I doubt that there are more than 2 - 3 pixels between the defective one and the edge. And like I wrote it disappeared once. Maybe the same will happen again.

I really dont want to risk a replacement because of the extraordinary good condition my phone is in right now. So I would say let's see.

Has anybody a tipp what could be done to support the disappearance of the pixel failure? Relative to pc monitors I heard once a proposition to freeze it for 24 hours? Would this really help?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Great news: The pixel failure disappeared again. So I think I can call it a temporary error. Brings a bit of surprise into the normally boring soft reset. I never know whether the pixel failure will be there after the next softreset or not :-) Or if it will disappear again with the next restart :-)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireBird4:
Sending for warranty might be a bit of a game of dice because I know sometimes they replace it with a refurbished phone. If you have big issues with the screen you're probably better off buying yourself a new screen and installing it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
My current Xperia:

Camera has artifacts when takes pics/vids

Keyboard unresponsive

Mic doesnt work

crack in case

i'd send it back because unless its a problem with the like motherboard they should just replace the screen only
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Thats exactly what I thought. Since it is only one pixel that fails then and again Im not willing to take the risk of getting my Xperia which is apart from this minor issue in perfect shape replaced by a refurbished phone. So I plan to wait until the warranty will have expired and then Im going to replace the screen myself. It should be possible to do this since I once worked as a radio/ tv technician. Do you know where I can buy a screen?
[General Questions and Answers] elusivebyte:
I have a G1 and now an EVO, and an iPod. I've used my cigarette lighter port in my car to charge each of them at times. Whenever I do, if I try to listen to music from the devices at the same time, I get a horrible, high pitched squealing sound. The sound varies with how much I am accelerating, so I'm pretty sure it's due to interference in the power source.

I'm using a hard-wired FM transmitter to connect the players to my stereo. I bought the transmitter from Crutchfield and it sits between my stereo and the FM antenna. It sends in a signal at channel 87.9.

Is there a device I can use that sits between my cigarette lighter socket and my devices' power supplies to condition the power and remove the interference?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BronzedDroid:
Just bought the SGS a week ago. I reside in Norway and my operator is Telenor (if this is of any importance).

When I got it, the firmware version was (is) I900XXJF3. Seen a lot of talk about other versions, which might or might not require root to install.

Anyways, on my unrooted SGS, I get no updates in Kies (horrible application btw), so I wonder if this is how it's supposed to be, and also when the GPS-fix will be released. Will it be availible automatically from within Kies?

- BronzeDroid, your favourite 1-post member.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Robin.B:
JF3 seems to be the default firmware most people are getting out of the box. So far there are no official firmware updates via Kies, however the website samsung-firmwares have published several newer firmwares which people are using. They do certain things like make the phone run faster/better memory management, bug fixes and some people claim to get better GPS. You can install them using a software called Odin.

From what I have gathered, there will either be some sort of intermediate firmware from Samsung in the near future, or we may not see any official firmwares until the Froyo update possibly in September.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] copo:
My Galaxy comes with the firmware JF7 and I got mine from hong kong. There are news floating around says that Froyo will comes to the Galaxy S in August for the Korea market, follow by France maybe?
[Captivate General] TGA_Gunnman:
Team,

Thought I would throw this out here so people don't have to hunt it down.

The Samsung Galaxy S has a big, beautiful screen that just begs for some quality video to show off. But what is the best way for you to convert your favorite videos and transfer them to your Galaxy S? In this guide, we show you what software you need to convert videos for viewing on the Galaxy S, and we also show you how to get your newly converted videos onto your handset.

Requirements:

1. Installed copy of Handbrake software from here http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

2. Video files and or DVD of your choice

3. Samsung Galaxy S with microUSB cable​

Step I: Launch the Handbrake application on your computer and select the video source

1. Launch Handbrake (figure 1)

2. In the menu on the right-hand side, select the iPod Legacy preset (figure 1)

3. Select your video source by clicking on the Source dropdown menu (we used a DVD for our testing purposes)

4. Select the destination and name for the file once it has been converted (both the .mp4 and .m4v extension work for the Galaxy S)

5. Confirm that the container is set to MP4 File and that Large file size, Web optimized, and iPod 5G support are unchecked​

Step II: Adjust Handbrake's Video Settings

Picture Tab:

1. Uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio

2. Set the Galaxy Sd Width and Height (the Galaxy S supports a maximum of 800 x 480 pixels)
​

Video Tab:

1. Set Handbrake's encoding settings by clicking on the Video tab (figure 2)

2. Confirm the Video Codec is set as H.264 (x264)

3. Framerate (FPS) should be set to Same as source

4. Under Quality, select the Avg Bitrate (kbps) and change it to 1500​

Step III: Adjust audio settings

1. Set Handbrake's audio settings by clicking on the Audio tab (figure 3)

2. Confirm the Audio Codec is AAC (faac)

3. Mixdown should be set to Stereo.

4. Change the Samplerate to 48

5. Change the Bitrate to 160​

Step IV: Save as a preset for future use

1. Click on the Presets menu and select New Preset

2. Enter Galaxy S in the dialog box and click Add

3. "Galaxy S" will now be saved as a preset and listed on the right hand side in Handbrake to be used in the future
​

Step V: Convert the video and copy to your Galaxy S

1. Click on the Start button in Handbrake

2. A command line/DOS window will open and start to process the video conversion

3. Once the conversion is done, mount your Galaxy S on to your computer via USB (figure 4)

4. Once mounted, create a folder named Video in the root folder on the Galaxy S

5. Copy converted file into the Video folder​

That's it! The converted video can now be played on your Galaxy S using the Gallery app. It should look fantastic on the Galaxy S's screen as long as the original source was of good quality.

A few things to keep in mind when converting video:

1. The Galaxy S does not like video file sizes over 2GB (the settings in Step II should help insure that the file size is kept under 2GB)

2. Your converted video will only be as good as the source video

3. If your source is over 800 x 480, you must be sure to set the width and height to a maximum of 800 x 480 as noted in Step II​
[Captivate General] REAVER117:
Just a couple questions. Is there a reason you unchecked 'Keep Aspect Ratio' and used the iPod Legacy preset instead of one that supports higher H.264 level? Did you notice artifacting with higher levels?
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Just used it on a Sample i had. Works great dosent look as clean as orginal. I can play orginal but audio wont play. Also is there any way to get the volume louder, My file seems to have low volume may a 3rd of a volume if i use the phone to make video.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Nice how to. i will definitely be looking into this later.
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
1000 kbps is more than adequate for bitrate imo especially with a 4" screen.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Vote "STICKY" as some people will ask how to convert and this is... So easy even a cave man can do it.
[Captivate General] ghost77:
You encoding in "iPod Legacy preset" for a device who can playback 720p at 60fps with 9000kbs :rolleyes:

iPod Legacy preset is like for 2 year old devices , select High Profile and then change size to whatever suits your needs , if its 3 minute Music video ~70MB set is fine , if its a movie 500 or 700mb .

For audio i do AAC Stereo 160 Bitrate.
