What issues do you have with Sirius? I was wondering if it was the rom or sirius?

When I try to listen to my sirius there is skipping, as if it was like a record skipping?
[EVO 4G General] r546:
Has anyone actually applied the patch and had it work on an EVO yet? I'm still curious if the adb command is supposed to work instantly even without root, since I tried to run it and the prop value doesn't seem to be changing. And of course OTA 2.2 is not rooted yet.
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
Same.. the adb setprop command runs, but it doesn't seem to actually change the value.

I tried the instructions earlier in this thread about copying the system.props to your local machine, modifying it there, and pushing it back, but adb gives me an error when I try to push the file back:

>adb push c:\build.prop /system/build.prop

failed to copy 'c:\build.prop' to '/system/build.prop': Read-only file system
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
I have the looping and skipping problem with my SiriusXM app. It's worst when it's streaming via 3g/4g. Sirius knows about this problem and will release a fix soon.
[EVO 4G General] r546:
Yeah, that's because you're not rooted and can't write to /system. So there's no way to change the file (to keep the setting persistent), but what drmacinyasha was saying is that just setting the prop for the current session shouldn't require root. Of course, it doesn't seem to be working.
[EVO 4G General] ILYCyAnOgEn:
this fixes the issue pretty splendidly, I ordered one myself: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855125131
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
I figured as much, and even said as much earlier in the thread.

However, since someone asked I figured I would at least try it, verify it, and post the results so noone can say it wasn't tried.
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
If only the discussion was not about streaming audio, and local playback of your MP#3 collection was an issue....

Unless you figured out a way to get Pandor or Slacker on that little bad boy... :D
[EVO 4G General] noxipoo:
While I applied the fix to build.prop pandora still doesn't auto pause when removing the headphones now in 2.2. it used to fine and htc mp3 player still auto-pauses but not pandora. very annoying. the navigation + pandora stopping to stream now when it talks is also annoying.
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
this "fix" breaks grooveshark
[EVO 4G General] diomark:
the 'fix' made my battery drain FAST. (20% or so/hour..)

-m
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
IIRC, the fix disables some hardware-enabled acceleration, which means your processor has to work harder to decode the audio streams.

It could also be that, without the fix, you weren't using battery-hogging streaming audio apps like Pandora and Slacker... and now with the fix, you are.
[EVO 4G General] r546:
How did you apply the patch? Are you using stock ROM? I can't get the setting to hold.
[EVO 4G General] diomark:
by apt getting the build.prop, changing it, then putting it back. I'm running a rooted stock rom.

-mark
[EVO 4G General] diomark:
It was draining while idle though with that change.. (i.e. nothing running)

-mark
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
I doubt "nothing" was running, as "nothing" is ever running on Android. ;)
[EVO 4G General] xlrdxrevengex:
agreed just because you use your little task killer doesn't mean your not running anything. go on a computer and see how far you get by force closing all your process on windows and see how far you get and start noticing either your computer locks up or that process comes back. android hides its own processes
[EVO 4G General] r546:
This issue is really completely stuck for me right now. Not interested in getting a pre-rooted 2.2 ROM and re-setting up everything on my phone, there is no root process available for OTA 2.2 yet, the setprop command doesn't seem to hold without root, and of course, no official movement from Google. Any way to go back to 2.1?
[EVO 4G General] r546:
I am curious, if OpenCore is still supported in 2.2, shouldn't the solution be as simple as an application that's affected by this problem specifying to use OpenCore in code, its manifest file, etc? That way the user doesn't have to make any changes and things that require Stagefright can still work, but things that Stagefright breaks can use OpenCore.
[EVO 4G General] r546:
Google has fixed the issue in the Froyo branch (see http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...it;h=16263d9f8cc01392c2f3678b381ce897647c8c81). I encourage everyone to contact HTC and tell them you want to see this in a small point update. Waiting until 3.0 would not be acceptable.

Talked to the fine folks in #CyanogenMod. This new fix will be tested by them tomorrow, and if approved, in the nightly by Thursday.

If this is true, then it's time to switch back to Cyanogen :)

--Swyped from my EVO using XDA App.
[EVO 4G General] r546:
Bad news: The HTC rep I was talking to referred to the Google Code issue page for this bug and determined that the problem is with the apps and not with Froyo, even though there is no absolutely no logic or facts supporting that idea. If this is the way the rest of HTC thinks, I wouldn't expect an update including this fix any time soon.

Her response:

"After reading this forum, we have come to the conclusion that since this is posted on a Developers Forum than the issue is not the Froyo on the device. The issue is the applications need to be updated and you will need to wait for the applications to be updated in the Market and on your device."
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Permanent fix: Stop using HTC-created ROMs. AOSP FTW.
[EVO 4G General] r546:
There are pieces of Sense I would not be happy to give up, namely the widgets, keyboard, and browser. With time I'm sure I could find suitable replacements for all three, I just don't feel like spending the energy to do so. Really, I shouldn't have to, because the phone shipped with a certain ROM and I like the features it has. However, with the situation where a nightly community mod has the latest patches, and I can't get expect to see those changes in an HTC build for some time, I am definitely more compelled to use a different ROM, but because I'm already on OTA 2.2, that's not an option.
[EVO 4G General] yutlin:
It appears someone has compiled the bug fix as a patch:

[EVO 4G General] r546:
Very cool! This is what I was waiting for. Not sure if it works for the EVO though, and I'm guessing you have to be rooted, as well. :( If so I'm still SOL.
[EVO 4G General] yutlin:
You definitely have to be rooted. Even so, I'm having trouble applying the patch... getting the error:

E:Missing File:

system/app_store/LatinIME.orig.apk

E:Verification failed

I think it has something to do with the HTC Keyboard used on stock EVO perhaps.

-UPDATE-

Quick warning, successfully applied this patch with Clockwork Recovery but it caused the phone to freeze on boot screen.
[EVO 4G General] r546:
So what are EVO owners doing about this? Any patches out there? Or has everyone just given up on Pandora/Slacker until HTC gives out a proper fix.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
i have no problems what so ever with the sound quality of either slacker or pandora, on my evo, running 2.2 , version .6...
[EVO 4G General] grad20_09:
i use the rhapsody service/app for android, and after upgrading to 2.2 i tried this fix, and it fixed it, only to find out it caused all audio streaming over 3g to not work at all. It only fixed the audio when I'm using wifi.... sucks.
[EVO 4G General] adammsu:
I started to notice this a few days back, on Pandora and Slacker.. I have an Eris rooted with a solid 2.1 AOSP non-sense rom, so i don't see the "stagefright" deal in the build.prop. Any ideas?

(ps, in the car its sounds "hollow" where as played mp3 files sound good)
[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
the old forum website xda use to be snappy and fun to surf, now this new site is the laggiest website ever. Any way to fix this or go back to the old fast website.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I've noticed that as well. Download the XDA app from the market, it's a lot better than using the browser.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixelpop:
Just upgraded to 2.2 and there is a new "Car Panel" application that looks interesting. But I can't find anything on how to use it or what options like auto-launch and auto-connect mean. It looks like is mates up with my car (voice nav through the car speakers?) bluetooth, but does anyone have a Google or HTC link to some documentation? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptrd:
I thought it was just something you click when you are in the car so things you would readily need you have quick access to and it's large buttons.

Nothing more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohr:
LIke you, I know nothing more about it than what I can see in the application itself, but it all seems fairly self-explanatory.

Auto-launch will cause the Car Panel app to run automatically when you place the phone in a (yet-to-be-released) car dock.

Auto-connect will cause the Car Panel app to automatically pair your phone up with a selected bluetooth device (presumably your car's bluetooth receiver, if so equipped).

Other than that, it just seems like the Car Panel is a nice finger-friendly way of navigating to the most critical apps while in your car (the auto-nighttime mode looks pretty cool).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixelpop:
Thanks for the info and these are the reasons I had asked the question. I hadn't heard about any car dock being available and my phone already pairs with my car via Bluetooth for handsfree calling. But I was wondering what new features might be available if it pairs thru this Car Panel (and does this pairing replace the one I use now)? I think there might be more here than is immediately noticable just from the UI.

Has anyone noticed issue with running the music player and navigation at the same time?

When I was on 2.1 the music would just pause and the navigation would speak...now if I have the music open and I open navigation, the music player shuts down.

If I open navigation, and then the music player, it works as I would hope, the music pauses and then the navigation speaks. But another turn, the music player shuts down by itself, at least it did in the one or two attempts I tried at it.

Anyone else have issue with this? I have a full car dock setup and one of the main reasons was so I could use the phone as a music player integrated with calls and navigation.

By the way, HTC, a landscape mode for the music player would be GREATLY appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regorthegreat:
I don't think the music player for the EVO (one installed by default) is HTC's. I think it is Sprint's music app which replaces the default one. I hate the default sprint music app. I installed the original one and use that, which works great in landscape mode. There are a few really good free music apps from the market which are even better (MixZing is my favorite so far which includes a good navigation menu and gestures, then their is Meridian and DoubleTwist which if had all the features I want, would be really great...).

Why doesn't the Car Panel allow landscape mode??? The Android 2.2 default Car Panel app allows landscape mode (has two screens) with extra slots to set your own apps, has music app built in... Sprints modified version does look better than Android's default, but is severely hindered in optimization! Why remove features!?? modify it, but keep features or add to it! Hell, give me option to choose or something...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanMBlue:
I am a relative newbie when it comes to this stuff. Where do I find the Radio and WiMax versions? And how do I update radios after I flashed the update?

Edit: found radio version labeled "Baseband Versions" in the "About" page. Version is 2.15.00.07.28. Can't find anything that leads me to believe it is a WiMax version, however.

I do see, however, that in the Hardware Information tab, my 4G MAC address is "unavailable"

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigj225:
adb wimax_mtd

should be a line called check firmware version

current firmware version is4.6.2.2v26023

And I would truly recommend doing a full root and nand unlock.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
Since you are using the newest wimax radio. Which rom are you running at the moment?

That wimax radio shouldn't be flashed unless you are running a 3.26.651.3 rom (froyo rom). Updating the radio to latest should be fine for any rom but it seems the wimax radios must match your current rom version.

Has anybody successfully forwarded voicemail on this thing!? Never worx for me...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] gregb7677:
I assume your talking about Google Voice? Are you trying to use it for your voice mail or what? A little more detail would make it easier to help you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Gootah:
UUmmm

I'd be a dummy if I couldnt set up Google Voice, I would say the voicemail part is seperate being that I can still use Google Voice without forwarding my voicemail.

I'm talking about the voicemail forwarding process for Google Voice. I can never forward my voicemail to use Google Voice's. It denies me. If I need to make it clearer let me know.

I can dial and recieve google voice calls, I tried to forward with the Google Voice app and manually with the dialer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Virus1x:
Have you gone into your settings>phone/calls and changed voicemail carrier to google?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Gootah:
....

That IS the process provided by the Google Voice app..so yes I've tried it. It wont let me, I'll try and get a screen shot. SO u guys can keep helpin'

ok...so I don't know howta add pictures...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Essien:
I got Google Voice as my voicemail provider without any issues tho the little setup process during the initial google voice setup did not work.

On your phone open the dialer program and enter the following *004*YourGoogleNumber# and then Send or call.

So it should look like *004*15555551234#

These directions are in google voice if you log in from a PC and go to Settings > Voice Settings > Phones > Activate/Deactivate Voicemail on this phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] GeekBrat:
Are you on Flex-Pay? I think they dissable the auto-magic google voice setup on flex-pay accounts.

What it doesn't work on

[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
It is possible, but I'm not sure this could be good.

Trackball can be hit.

Power button has less less chances.

And slide and wait for the other tp hang is not that terrible, no?
[Nexus One Android Development] cdw9800:
trackball hang up would be very useful

sometimes my screen wont come on or flickers (only on phone calls) so i can hang up

power button would also be cool
[Nexus One Android Development] elby:
I think it would be good. SOmetimes im on the home screen then have to go all the way back to the dialer to hangup
[Nexus One Android Development] rottenjello138:
hanging up a call on the n1 is definitely a nuisance. trackball hang up would be awesome/useful :)
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
Ok so its possible.

Any dev on this?

But I think it will be only enabled if on the call screen.

I'll see some codes.
[Nexus One Android Development] persiansown:
erm... the power button to hang up option is already in there :)
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
erm... we want that for the trackball :D

onKeyDown()

and if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER) ?
[Nexus One Android Development] leonnib4:
Done

v1 http://www.multiupload.com/JITPJH0R5F

v2 http://www.multiupload.com/IUWWKKFTDS

AOSP Phone.apk modded to hang up on trackball pressure.

EDIT: I made it "don't answer" if a new call comes in and hang up the active call if there is no incoming call.

I could also it hang up after a popup or something... any suggestion about improvements?

Any better dev: how to catch a double trackball click?
[Nexus One Android Development] Idan73:
how do we mount this? Tried overwriting with root explorer and it goes in force close loop. Please post instructions

[HD2 General] rumz82:
Hi guys.

Havnt been here for about 2 weeks coz I recently had my upgrade and i upgraded to the iPhone 4! Ok, dont start flaming.

I was torn between the galaxy s or the iPhone and thought, what the hell, i have already used WinMo, Symbian and Android but never had an iPhone, so thought lets see what its all about. Guess what? I actually hate it!!!

Ok, so there some things on it that do work better than WinMO such emails, and maybe the appstore is better than marketlace, but overall, its just so boring!!!! I have jailbroken it aswell but its still nothing like our favourite WinMo.

I havent and never will get rid of my HD2, infact, i still carry it with me to work and still play around with it. I even show off the HD2 more to my colleuges(sp ;)) than the iPhone(coz its boring).

Man, its so easy to just drag n drop files, music, pics etc on our HD2s but with the iPhone.....its such a long procedure that i only have a few of each on it!!

So, the point is, that I didnt miss much (nor anyone) by not having an iPhone and probably will never miss anything coz winmo, in a nutshell, is way better!

But i am now stuck with this.I might even change my sims around and make my HD2 the primary device again and stick my PAYG sim in the iPhone.....as a back up! :D

I just wanted to share my experience so please guys, dont start flaming! :D
[HD2 General] ReganH22:
I haven't had any experience with the iPhone 4, but I can say the same is true from me with the last iPhone. I bought one last month just to play around with, and it actually seemed a little boring compared to my HD2 and my Android phones. It does certain things better, and some of the apps such as the Chase Bank app are the reason I wont get rid of it, but other things just seem complicated compared to the HD2. I hate having to connect to iTunes for every damn thing. I have my HD2 synced with iTunes, but on a number of occasions I just click and drag photos and music onto it. Its very convenient.
[HD2 General] rumz82:
Im glad to hear you feel the same........so its not just me! :)
[HD2 General] conantroutman:

That was a joke originally but the more I think about it..... the more I want it......:confused:

Has anyone tried or own the Galaxy S (UK)? Is it worth me selling the iPhone for it?

Bigger screen, super AMOLED, Android, Hummingbird processor.......... probably can choose my own ringtone too! :D .......:confused:
