[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Ok, basically my linux knowledge is very limited and i need help modifying a file that gets written on boot (i don't know if this would even work, so if someone could answer that it would be very much appreciated).

The file i'm looking to change is '/sys/module/q6audio/parameters/speaker_max_gain'. In the latest 2.1 build this file is set to '602', which i think explains the slight volume increase from 1.6 (it was set to '600', but located in 'sys/module/msm8k_cad_volume/parameters/handset_max_gain' instead)

So, does anyone know how to alter this file? I know it gets re-written every time you boot the phone, but i can't find where it's being written from. Is it a kernel thing or am I completely wasting my time with this?

Cheers :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
UPDATE - Thanks to @VogelDerNacht, i've tried a few things like trying to change the value in the init.rc (echo "value" > sys/module/q6audio/parameters/speaker_max_gain) which didn't work, and i then tried to use a sysctl.conf in /system/etc/ to do the same thing, which also didn't work (don't think the kernel supports this), so now i'm pretty stuck :(

It seems like i may have to wait for the kernel source to be release now ><
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
how about creating a simple shell script and having it execute as a service from one of the init scripts ?

its possible the sys entry is not created until later in the boot sequence
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
could you give me an example please? i'm pretty new to all this linux stuff :p

The problem seems to be that when i add the line in to the init.rc (or any of the init files) it gets overridden by something else (probably the kernel) and i can't get it to apply my changes. I can change it fine whilst the phone is running, but that doesn't do anything because i think these files only get read from once when the phone boots.

I could be completely wrong though, like i said, my linux knowledge is pretty bad ><
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
First you need to confirm that entry boosts what you want
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
That's the problem. I think it reads from the file only once when the phone boots but i don't know, that's why i want to change it on boot to see if it works :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
their should be a simple script (.sh extension) in /system/etc that you may be able to edit to add echo *your value > sys path to end of
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Tried that. Tired editing the init.rc, that didn't help. I tried adding a sysctl.conf but i don't think the kernel supports it. I tried editing every .sh file i could find but it looks like the kernel just overwrites everything :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ok if you fancy a hand trying to get the volume to boost drop me a pm as i woudln mind being a tester ffor playing with werid options (and since iport android anyway i know my way around :)

I want to be able to use the HDMI out on my EVO to view video on my TV.

Here's the problem....I have a Pioneer 50" Kuro which is a display only (no speakers). I have a HD cable box running an HDMI to the Plasma, with an audio cable running to my Receiver. I have a PS3 with an HDMI running to the Plasma, with an optical audio line running to the Receiver. I have an Orb audio 5.1 connected to the Receiver.

Question is...how the heck do I hook up my EVO so it plays audio along with video?

I'm not sure how to go about doing this.

What is the most stable froyo rom out there for the slide atm?

Meaning with full working keyboard lights, button or as close as possible. Along with the camera and camcorder working great. Just mostly everything working as good as possible. If you could, can you guys give an input on whichever rom. I really appreaciate it because the scene is booming with roms and updates for them. Thank you again in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
nice guide, this should be part of the FAQ or stickied :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K0v4L:
So that's something wrong cuz I can browse and play files from my laptop using galaxy s and I don't need samsung pc share.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ssj4Gogeta1:
No need to use PC Share Manager.

Open Network and Sharing Center.

Click on "Change Advanced Sharing Settings" in the left pane.

Expand "Home or Work"

Make sure Network Discovery and File Sharing are turned on. I've also turned off password protected sharing, don't know if it makes a difference.

Click on "Media Streaming Options" on that page.

Make sure your phone is connected to your computer via a network. The network type should be set as "home" ("work" should work too), not "public". Streaming only works on home networks.

Select "All networks" from the "Show devices on:" dropdown list.

My phone was listed as "unknown device". Select "Allow" next to it.

Now open Allshare on your phone. Select "Play file on a server through my phone", select the server (your computer), and you should be able to browse your music library.

If you want to push songs from your phone to WMP, you can open WMP and from the "Stream" menu select "Allow remote control". You can then push songs/videos/pictures from your phone to WMP by selecting the "Play file from my phone on another player" in Allshare.

If you can't set "Media Streaming Options" on your computer, you probably have "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" disabled. You need to set it to Automatic start. Open start menu, type in "services.msc", hit enter. Find the service and set it to automatic by double clicking on it.

For some reason I still can't push songs from WMP to my phone using the "play to" option in WMP, even though I have "upload from other devices" set to "always accept" in Allshare settings. Browsing the computer's library in Allshare works fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Wow thanks. Would never have figured that out on my own. That's pretty amazing.

Too bad that WMP doesn't support all video types. One of the main reason why I wanted to use DLNA is to stream youtube files I downloaded on my phone to a larger screen. So for now I am still sticking to XBMC, which by the way has an amazing remote app.

I will add your instructions to the guide later (together with your name of course).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spacesheep:
@ssj4Gogeta1

This is amazing!

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] auldthief:
But it does...!

I know this is too late and you might have already found a solution, but you can use shark 007 windows 7 codec pack to enable WMP to play almost all media types. Give it a go! It's free and works flawlessly for me! I know this sounds like an advert but I'm pretty impressed. I even uninstalled VLC after installing this pacl. It's THAT good!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tsuushin:
I would like to force a specific speech language for Google Nav; The reason is that the road names are in french where I live and the English speech engine obviously fails horribly at pronouncing them.

Now I know I can get French speech by switching my locale to French but I don't want to switch my system locale just to get French speech in one app.

I tried going into Text-to-speech settings, changing the language to French and checking "Always use my settings", but Nav doesn't seem to care at all!

Is there any way?

Thanks for your time!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tsuushin:
No one? :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zanaharius:
Hello,

I'm experiencing the same issue.

the google NAV take the language of the phone, whatever you set in text-to-speech setting.

so the only way I found is to place a shortcut to the language settings near my shortcut for the navigation.

I hope refreshing this topic can bring us more luck.

anyone got any trick ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvenk:
Sorry for the stupid question, but I just can not find the answer.

How can i change my "TIME" notification in my calendar.

If i don't put the time in my agenda or event, it always notifies me at midnight 24:00 or 0:00. And always wakes me up in shock. (if i just put something like, buy some stuff - without 07:00)

The default time I can put 5, 10, 15, .. minutes before the time is right. So I just put 15 minutes before something like 07:00. But with no time he wakes me up at 23:45. And I just can take it anymore.

Any thoughts.
[Droid Incredible General] xvenom89:
With no questions asked ask to why I'm asking, I need to know how to manually mount the sd card so my device can use it while booted.

The following works via adb shell to mount the internal storage on /emmc at boot:

echo "" >> /system/bin/sysinit

echo mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /emmc >> /system/bin/sysinit

Perhaps it's as simple as figuring out which partition on /dev/block is the sd card? Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
While booted using the device normally, the sdcard should already be mounted rw without doing anything.
[Droid Incredible General] rigman:
Noob here. So don't have a clue. However, I do know you can just run the mount command with no parms to get a list of the partions. Please ignore if that was already obvious.

Yes, that's what normally happens. The problem is described in my thread here; I can choose to mount them from the notification bar when connected to my computer, but they do not mount.

Hi, I have a sim-unlocked Orange Desire (I don't use it on Orange) with a branded 2.1 firmware, and I'd like to unbrand it with 2.2 stock firmware. Will that remove the sim-unlock that I have now?

It shouldn't. I got an orange branded Desire from ebay on saturday morning, which was also locked to orange. I sim-unlocked it and rooted, and then flashed LeeDroid. My phone is still sim-unlocked.

If it locks it you can re use the original unlock code to unlock the phone again. If you don't have it then ask the seller you bought the phone from as they may still have it on record.

Hey there.

I'm from Portugal and here we have some accentuated letters like "à á é ç ã õ".

When the system language is set to English and we insert one of these letters the SMS limit falls down from 160 charachters to 70 because it changes the encoding of the SMS :(.

What I would like to know is if it's possible to come with an hack to force the system to encode the SMS in a particular way so these kind of letters don't cut us 90 characters off the message please.

Actually this is a problem in a lot of countries. Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and the list goes on... Any country that speeks a latin language really.

So, can anyone help us out?

What happens is that if i set Android in Portuguese language the SMS's work as expected.

If you change the language to English, when writing an SMS, if a character like "á" "é" is used you end having only 70 characters available.

My interest was to use Android in English but send SMS's with latin characters whithout having only 70 characters available per SMS.

Samsung Galaxy has the problem solved.

I guess that they solved it by themselves. Neither Google nor HTC give a $hit about it. For instance, HTC still has this problem on all android devices.

I owned a Legend with Android 2.2, and the problem persisted. As it was still in warranty, I returned it to the store, got refunded, and bought a Samsung Galaxy ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlinespending:
you should feel fortunate that at least you can send the unicoded characters ;) here in the US, most carriers do not properly send unicoded characters, and instead they arrive as BLOCKS on the recipient phone. So imagine wanting to send an SMS with a foreign language that contains accents or unicoded characters when living in the US. You really can't.

To that end, it'd be nice if one of the SMS programs had an option to convert all Unicoded text messages to ASCII prior to sending. This way you can continue to use your foreign language keyboard and dictionaries with accents and unicoded characters and be confident that the message will not be corrupted when sent. And it'd allow a 160 character ASCII message as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
this is native issue of the SMS, not the phone or OS issue

I had the same problem. I am a spanish native speaker, hence my SMS are sent in spanish. Due to autocorrection, some words automatically add the accent in some words. I had not found any solution to the native application for SMS, however I noticed that using "Hancent SMS" app, although the accents are added, the number of characters are still 160!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moszkito:
some temporary solution

Some letters are included in english character set, which you can use without the automatic change of the character set, so the sms will remain 160 chars, instead of 60 or something like that.

these characters are definitely included:

(à,ä,æ,å,é,è,ü,ú,ö,ò,ß,...)

You can try out when you start writing an sms, and turn on the "remaining characters counter" and try it for your self which characters you could use.

for example you can use "à" instead of "á" it still stays 160 chars.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Vinne2-:
The feature "Strip Unicode" for CM http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/19381 solves the problem. Well, not quite like in Nokia and many other phones (they let you write diacritics but strip them only after you click "send" – and they send pure GSM chars) but it changes every char right at the moment of input:

– if you type letter by letter: when you type the diacritic (e.g. "ć" or "Ü") it instantly changes into its GSM alternative ("c" or "U");

- if you use dictionary: you type in letters, dictionary shows you propositions but when you choose the proposition(word) (by tapping it or typing space) it inserts the word with Unicode chars changed into their GSM alternatives.
