[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I found a few old (and dead) threads on the subject, but I wanted to start a new one now that there are a lot more Evo owners out there who may help keep this going. Feel free to bump this and maybe we can get some support from the devs by demonstrating this will be worth their while.

I have read that the phone was not loaded with a proper Bluetooth stack making the Evo incompatible with several Bluetooth devices out there; the PS3 being one of them. I don't know how accurate that is, or if there are more underlying issues which prevent my requests from being plausible. With that said, here is a list of things I would be interested in:

1) Instead of paying $20 for the Blu-Ray remote for the PS3, I'd rather pay for an app that can control the basic functions of the PS3's media player. Me, personally, I don't like using the PS3 controller for video playback AT ALL. Also, it'd be one less remote to have in the house if I can use my phone instead of Sony's remote.

2) Use my phone as a headset. I cannot stand having an earpiece or headphones on for longer than a few minutes. If I could just pair my phone to the PS3 with a speaker phone option during online gaming, that would be LOVELY.

3) The most obvious one is being able to use the phone as a keyboard instead of buying the keypad that attaches to the PS3 controller. I do have the keypad, but I would put it on eBay in a split second if I were able to do it with my phone.

I'm sure there are some other things people have thought of that would be handy. Feel free to PM me anything else you may want to be able to do and I will gladly add it to the OP. Hopefully there are enough people out there interested in this so as to warrant the devs taking the time to figure this out. Honestly, I do not have the time to maintain a bounty thread, and it is not my intention to start one. However, I will say that I will make a $50 donation to anyone who can get this to work, as that is how much the Blu-Ray remote and keypad cost me on eBay. I am confident that I will not be the only one who donates, but again, this is not a bounty thread and will not be treated as such. If you say you will donate and one of the devs comes through, please keep your word and make your donation.

Mods: My apologies if anything I posted here is outside of the guidelines of this forum; feel free to call me out on any changes I should make.

Thanks in advance to all the devs, mods and forum members for your support on this.

HOPE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS

Sent from my Evo 4G using a tooth pick
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Our phones can already work as remotes for certain applications, which leads me to believe it can be done by someone with the knowledge and (more importantly) the drive. With apps like Gmote 2.0 already on the market, I don't see why not. I have a Samsung Bluetooth ear piece that pairs to my PS3, and it is 2-3 years old, at least. Why can't the phone do it?

Maybe an app isn't even necessary. Maybe it can be a flashable file that just adds Bluetooth info to whatever is on the phone.

I'm pretty sure this is possible. +1

Devs will correct me if I am wrong.

And another twenty if I could use my phone as a tv remote.

[Vibrant General] itsLYNDZ:
Any ideas?
[Vibrant Accessories] junglizste:
Just picked this up. The sound isn't phenomenal but it's pretty damn good. It's quite amazing for the price. The design ain't bad either. A bit of cable noise but for $20, you absolutely can't beat it. You'd have to spend about $60 to get better. And you could certainly spend that much and get worse(I'm looking at you Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi)

http://www.amazon.com/MEElectronics-M9-BK-Hi-Fi-Sound-Isolating-Headphones/dp/B0038W0K1G

I read a couple people saying the stock headphones weren't bad. I thought they were dreadful... In fact, I've never heard in-ear phones sound worse. They're really quite bad. If you think the stock headphones sound even bearable you'll be blown away by these.
[Vibrant Accessories] disturkis4u:
Yeah I don't see the hype over the stock earbuds. I guess they're great if you used those iphone headphones or something. Then again i use sennheisers
[Vibrant Accessories] TheBrandonWRX:
I have atleast a dozen pair of earphones including Sennheisers, Logitechs Ultimate ear buds and many others. I really like the Samsung ear buds. I think a lot of people rave about them due to fitment. They do a great job sealing for some. I would rather use a good sealing pair of cans then better sounding ones that I have to adjust every 10 steps when I am 10 miles out on a trail or running sprints. That is my speculation on the raves.
[Vibrant Accessories] junglizste:
Yeah... I guess it could be fit. I tried the small and medium tips. The medium we too big, I guess the small were too small. They sounded extremely tinny, with almost no bass, which is a symptom of improper fit. But the small tips seem to be almost the same size as the MEE phones and the bass on those is rediculous.

I'll give the sammys another go, but I'm not optimistic.
[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
Hey, thanks for the tip jung.

I just picked up a pair, and i agree with you.

The stock earphones sound like garbage.

I have some sennheisers and shures.

I'm going to try these out and see how good they sound.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnuh:
Hi,

I'm new to Android and SGS is my first android phone. I got it a week ago and love it, not just the phone but also the OS compare to what iphone offers. so please excuse if I ask something silly.

Poping in a 8GB sdcard for and for the first time I see that Android / SGS does media scanning on the internal SD and external card (which I've never seen with Iphone). SGS informed me to format the external SD and I did, but for the next couple boots, it asked me the same thing again. However to me 16GB is more than what I need so I decided to remove the external to save some boot time and not to see the annoying formatting notification.

Kies lets me update to JM3, and then I found XDA and this forum custom roms. Tempting and immediately go straight from JM3 to JM5 using ODIN and Hackalair (update.zip), apply 1clicklagfix by Ryanz.

My first experience with the custom room was fast, very impressive but I figure out there's no Google voice search with Hackalair as he's removed most of the bloatwares from the origin package. Trying the external SD again to see if it's any better. It's sorta worse, the phone seem not to recognize the external SD card anymore, and then luckier after couple boots, the phone notifies me to format the card and never be able to complete the task.

I found Samset 1.9f, download it and update.zip from Hackalair to Samset, I got 2082 quadrant score, not sure if it's fast but compare to the chart it shows me, this is twice faster than the original SGS score. Bad thing, still no luck with the external SD card and no Samsung AP app (not sure if samset removed it)

So my question is this the phone hardware problem? Knowing that I have no problem using this card on my Blackberry. I've got the phone and have no issue to format & reinstall the ROM, is there anyway to do a proper format on the internal SD card and install the custom rom with google voice + Samsung AP app (i need these 2) and wonder if doing so will help me fix the thing.

This is off topic a little but I get used to Iphone's app that vibrate the phone when the outgoing call picked up. Can we have something similar with SGS? I also want to find an app that allow me to map a hotkey to compose SMS (i can press volume up on iphone to have a new sms compose screeen). Beside this, I found Android is more like a PC to me than iphone in many ways.

Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC Aria General] dezufnoC:
I am currently using RockPlayer and the defaulted video player that comes with CM6 Froyo. I use Aimersoft DRM Media Converter to remove DRM from my digital copies of movies that I would like to play on my Aria (I travel a lot and use my time on the plane watching flix)

Anyway Aimersoft comes with a set of converted formats for Android phones (HTC droid, Hero, G2, Tattoo, T-Mobile, Motorola Cliq, Droid, Samsung i7500) but of course does not list the Aria as a supported device.

What is the best format to convert these movies to that will play on the Aria?
[HTC Aria General] eortizr:
I use Double Twist... is an iTunes like Desktop app... it will convert your movies to the correct format for you phone during synchronization... also the phone app is pretty cool..
[HTC Aria General] dezufnoC:
Yeah....so DoubleTwist cannot handle DRM'd movies so this is a no go for me.
[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
If it's giving you the option of choosing only by phone try out the "Hero" one. Same screen size and similar cpu I believe. If anything, since you have the software run through all the options and see what works best for you, then make the recommendations here.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
i like Handcent but one thing that has always bothered me is that even though handcent notifies me of texts and i read/reply and the handcent notification goes away, the default HTC/Android messaging app is still running and showing the notifications in the notification bar.

how can i remove that crap, its so annoying to have to go click the 'clear' button in the task bar every time i get a text even after i have replied to it with handcent.

again this is the default HTC messaging app that is notifying me, not handcent.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrooGrux:
Turn off the notifications

Since handscent and the stock messaging are separate applications they use separate notifications. However, handscent still gets its information from the messaging application. So it is as simple as turning off your notifications for messaging in the message setup. It wont hurt handscent at all. Just open up the messaging application and turn off all your notifications by hitting menu and settings and notifications (i think). Then you wont get them anymore.

This should solve your problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidewaysinto3rd:
I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything (sorry if it's already been discussed)

I'm trying to install Kies and it keeps aborting the install on step 4.

No matter what options I try to choose, it gets to step 4 when it tries to download some more components, the progress bar goes up to 1% then it aborts itself.

I've tried this on 3 different PCs (XP sp1 and sp3) to no avail ..

Any ideas ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidewaysinto3rd:
well.. no reply, but in case someone else has this problem when trying to unlock their phone.. you can just download the standalone USB drivers .. google it up and good luck

I still don't have kies .. but don't really need / want it either
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majbour:
same problem here mate hopefully someone knows how to fix it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravi4chahal:
I also had the same problem, finally solved by deleting the 16 character files in the phone which was explained in another forum. Samsung says problem is due to some bug phone.

To make KIES working with phone, set the phone to be used as mass storage using USB debugging setting.

Remove all the 16 character files until Samsung publish a update/fix. In my case, I found those files in Seesmic, Backgrounds app.

Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable and select "Samsung Kies" mode.

Problem you might face is finding all the 16 character files in the phone.

You can use a program made by PhoenixFx. Google it you will find the exe file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravi4chahal:
though a small problem is still there. Every time I toggle between USB debugging mode and KIES, I have to de-install and reinstall the drivers. For now I have stopped using USB debugging mode to avoid reinstallation of drivers. I use other system for that.

KIES now works fine and helped in upgrading my firmware:)

so what's the deal with no speed deal in froyo. i haven't really seen any mention of it by anyone else. i've installed the regular foyo and now again just installed the clockwork version of froyo (after a data wipe) and both couldn't retain phone numbers in the speed dial list.

is there a way we could extract a db or file and manually edit our speed dial lists since it doesn't seem to work setting it up on the phone itself?
[Droid X General] byproxy:

[Droid X General] DivinityCycle:
Works for me, just tested it out.

Method that works for me:

-Go to Dialer.

-Hold the number you want to map someone to (in my test case, #2)

-When prompted, select the number you want assigned

-Exit Dialer

-Reboot phone

-Re-enter dialer

-Test call
[Droid X General] dr154:
it works for me :cool:

Like DivinityCycles stated:

1. Go to Dialer.

2. Hold down number you want to map someone to.

3. Select the number you want assigned.

4. Check by holding down number.

or the regular way, but dont search for the contact; seems it doesn't work that way, just scroll to the person you want assigned to that number.

both methods has worked for me. hope this helps. :)
[Droid X General] byproxy:
awesome!!! thanks to the both of you (the one's that actually helped)!!

the problem was that i was searching for the contact to add. doing a scroll search and adding that way is what worked. thanks again folks! much appreciated!!
[Droid X General] dr154:
no problem. glad we could be of some assistance... :)
[Droid X General] chimpsnest:
Interesting, running KaosFroyo 31, when I go into my dialer (ie phone? where I'd call somebody from, correct?) and hold down a digit it doesn't do anything w/a long press, even a super long press.

OK, just learned via a Google search that LP hides the "dialer" - are there dialers (free) on the market, or is there a way for me to access dialer on an LP phone?

PS - Should note I'm running an Eris w/2.2 Kaos 31 on it, but I don't think that'll make a diff
[Droid X General] the gladiator:
I'm in the same situation in which chimpsnest is (even a super long press to the number doesn't trigger any pop-up) but googling didn't helped me.

Any help from your side ?
[Droid X General] Stovitch:
I had the same problem on cm 6.1. I found that I had to push the number I wanted to assign, then hit the + sign on bottom left and the contact list pops up, then pick the contact to assign to the number. Hope that helps, if you still haven't fixed it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashjax:
I have a replacement evo on the way from asurion and have a feeling it's going to have 2.2 installed. The replacement is for a cracked screen and scratched bezel. Would it be possible to just swap the logic boards between the two in order to keep my rooted OS, since I'm mostly concerned about the cosmetics. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
Why not just swap the screens? Assuming its the same hardware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashjax:
I guess that's what it boils down too. Do the screens have to match up with the software? Am I obligated to activate the phone that asurion sends me? I would in essence be sending them back the phone they sent me, just with a cracked screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syer1:
your in the same boat as me. my evo got ranned over this sunday and i have a feeling im going to get a 2.2 replacement. Since you already reported the phone to asurion, the esn of your old phone will be put on the lost/stolen file. You will not be able to activate that esn again. Your best bet is to pray that you can get a 2.1 replacement. What im thinking i might do is switch my esns from my 2.2 replacement to my rooted evo and activated my old phone with new esn. I know its a touchy subject so i wont go any further. I really hope i get a 2.1 replacement though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekphiv:

Ok ok, call me crazy but..... if I desolder and resolder the main rom chip from one board to the other, and by some grace of god it works.....

I know that USB Host is possible on the Droid 1 but I am wondering if anyone has tried it on the D2. I would assume that it can but I haven't heard a word about it.

I plan to give it a try but I wanted to see if anyone else has tried it.
[Droid 2 General] wkearney99:
Yeah, it's there. Haven't tried it. Did try the windows media sync and it works too.

I'd be curious to know if USB host mode would allow doing things like playing audio or video out through USB adapters. Right now I use an iPod Touch to play videos to the car LCD for long trips with the family. I wouldn't mind ditching the iPod in favor of the Droid2 (or perhaps some other Android-based device).
[Droid 2 General] SerenityNetworks:
Apparently it doesn't workon the Droid 2

I've had several posts out in different places for awhile. I've tried the cable hack, without success. Recently someone posted on one of my threads that the cable hack doesn't work with the Droid 2. (You can look for post 405309, USB-Host-Mode at androidpit)

I'd love to hear of someone that has had success with the Droid 2 and how it was accomplished.
