Well android hasnt gotten to the point of getting it installed to internal memory so no, you cant put music on internal memory, since android runs off the SD card you can put your music there and plenty of it depending on what size the SD card is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] araje:
Hi guys,

Recently, I installed a home replacement app it looks great. But I'm not sure how to undo when I click on the option "Use by default for this action. "

So the result is that I need to keep explicitly selecting the choice from the list of applications.

Can someone help me here.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeano:
Use Home Switcher app from the market, or Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> select app -> Clear Defaults.

Hello all,

Forgive me if this has already been asked (I tried my best to search for similar questions before posting this)...

Does anyone know how to make the wired headset button (a.k.a the Media Button) work with music player apps?

I’ve tried many… the button doesn’t work with any. I want the button to be able to skip, play, pause, etc. music like an iPhone would with its wired headset. Other Android phones can do this, but the Epic 4Gs headset button just brings up the contacts list when you press it (it also ends calls).

Thanks,

Ryan

No fix yet. Hopefully sammy fixes this with froyo or some devs fix this. I reccomend emailing samsung too and asking for them to fix this. Bluetooth controls work tho.

Ravizzle, thanks for replying. I was afraid of that. I haven't tried bluetooth yet though.

Do you (or anyone else here) have any recommendations for bluetooth controllers? I really need to be able to change tracks without touching or turning on the phone.

Thanks again,

Ryan

You can remap the keybinding for the headset button, there is a discussion on android central (I can't post the link)

Basically edit /system/usr/keylayout/sec_jack.kl and change SEND_END to HEADSETHOOK (need to be rooted)

Would be nice if szomeone can mke a oneclick or app to do this

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely take a look at that headset.

That seems promising. Thanks for posting it. I haven't rooted yet, but to fix this issue I probably will now. I'll try it and post results some time tomorrow.

I can do this actually. It shouldn't be too difficult, but as previously stated, it would probably be a root-only app. I'm going to put this and other hacks/tweaks together into one app. I'll post the .apk and source code up on Google code too... again, probably tomorrow.

I have tried using head phone button but I'm not getting any response. My button does nothing. I can't bring up contact or anything. Do I have faulty headphone?
[Epic 4G General] juryduty:
This kind of works, though it still seems to be a bit buggy. When headset is connected and music is paused hitting the power button shut off/lock the phone the music will start back up by itself without clicking the headset button. It happens with the stock music player and the music app by DoubleTwist for me.

If you do choose to do it this is what you get in stock music app: one press = play/pause, 2 quick presses = skip to next song and long press puts you in party shuffle mode (and it's hard to get back out of it since none of the menus show that you are in party shuffle. You have to turn party shuffle on then off for it to register it properly). In the music app by DoubleTwist you get play/pause with single click and nothing for 2 presses or long press.
[Epic 4G General] jjthe2:
This is odd, I don't see the same thing. In fact I forgot to mention that the headset button doesn't seem to do anything in the stock player for me, I've been using Cubed or PlayerPro and the functionality in both of the those is one press = play/pause, two presses = skip, long press = party shuffle (I actually never noticed this until you mentioned it).

And one more thing, if you change to HEADSETHOOK the button will no longer end calls while on the phone it will mute/unmute (I think this is more convenient anyway).
[Epic 4G General] juryduty:
I guess I should have said I'm running the AOSP Magic v.3 rom with the Mix-Up kernel and am using a modified stock music app. I wonder if the rom has something to do with the music restarting itself.

EDIT: oddly enough the music doesn't restart when it's charging... curious
[Epic 4G General] juryduty:
I've discovered that the music is restarting while the screen is locked and off because it's registering an event for both the key_down and key_up events (clicking down on the button as well as the 'click' as it comes back up after the first click). Still trying to figure out a way to negate the second click... I've tried using the WAKE and WAKE_DROPPED modifiers, but to no avail; yet. I'll keep experimenting.

I'll definitely try this when I get my phone back. I always change the keylayout on my android phones.

As of today the Motorola Bravo was officially announced by AT&T.

Once its rooted, has the bootloader cracked, Roms available and OC'd it should be a great phone to acquire.

Even stock the specifications look impressive.

This is an informative thread, I'm not saying its better or worse than the X10 but at least there will be another option for unsatisfied users of the device past and present.

it has 2.1 YEAH give you that one for the time being ... altho there are other Androids out there that still are on 1.6 ...recently discovered that the LG 540 optimus is running 1.6 Android! ( Yes X10 owners we are not alone in the 1.6 world!!!)

Check with Asurion, but I'm almost positive that if you buy the N1 yourself, as a developer, and submit the receipt to Asurion, they will reimburse you less the $130 deductible. They probably won't reimburse for the $25 developer fee either, so it'll cost you a total of $155 for a new Nexus One.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
I really hate the sound the camera makes when taking pics in CM6. I would prefer just a "click" or camera shutter type sound, not the loud beep it makes now. I know I can mute the sound on the phone, but I don't necessarily want no sound, just a different one.

I tried moving the camera ogg (whatever the actual name is) from the UI folder, rebooted, took a pic and the sound was still there. Then I noticed something interesting, the one I moved isn't even the same sound :confused: But I don't mind that one...so is there any way to make that one my camera sound? And where is the sound file that is playing when I take a pic if it's not the one I moved from the UI folder? I am running CM6 with DarkMod if that has any effect on anything...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
The file you're looking for should be in /system/media/auido/ui/ called camera_click.ogg or something similar. :confused:

You said you removed that though?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
Yup. Well, I moved it completely out of the UI folder onto the SD card, then rebooted, snapped a pic and it was the same sound, but the camera_click.ogg and the actual sound are not even the same when the file is in place. I am confused...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Ahh didn't notice this before, are you referring to a noise that sounds like the volume rocker up/down noise? The beep you hear is the auto focus, you can either turn auto focus off or turn focus to touch to get rid of it, otherwise I believe that beep is generated by the camera app itself, if I have time I'll take a look at it.

Edit

You can see it here on Github. Do a text search (ctrl+f) for "tonegenerator" and you'll see where it initiates - focusing.

Should be a relatively simple edit for those of us who know how to compile from git or smali edit. I'd do it if I had the time to, but unfortunately as of right now I have wayyy too much do deal with :/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:

Most MIRT receivers are looking for mainly infrared light, not visible light. This also makes it *painfully* obvious to any traffic or security camera in the area when you are using such a device. I doubt the visible-light LEDs in the EVO have the power to trigger MIRT receivers, but even if they did, you're asking for trouble (and also potentially putting other people at risk) by doing so.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firesquirt:
The strobe that changes a traffic light is not just a flashing light; The OPTICOM emitter you see on fire equipment and ambulances must emit 3 signals in sync, the visible light frequency tells the light it is an emergency vehicle, otherwise it will only hold a green light green ( this is for rapid transit they are fitted with filters), then it must flash at 16 hrz as well as emit light at a specific infrared frequency; embedded in the infrared is digital data that allows the light to record the agency and unit number activating the light along with a date and time stamp and the status of all lights and the speed when the vehicle passes through.

Also not all traffic lights are fitted with an OPTICOM receiver, or receivers in all directions. And some municipalities may also program the light to go red in all directions instead of green in your direction of travel.

If all this does not match up; the light will not change. A lot of people think that flashing head lights or other lights will work; and may even feel/swear that they do because the light changes, after all it will change eventually ;-) , but it does not.

Is far as I know it is not illegal to use one though. as the light techs are always out there with them testing the lights.

The magnets on the bottom of the bike will work on ground sensor lights though. You should not have any problems with the lights that have a camera looking sensor mounted on them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzz3256:
Exactly. I've been installing Opticoms for the better part of the last 10 years on fire and rescue apparatus. It's so funny to see people that are going down the road flashing their headlights and using retail strobe lights thinking that it changes the lights. What most of those people fail to realize is that the Opticom is primarily Infrared, and usually the strobing light just signifies that the system is operational.

1. Even if you did actually get a unit that works, think about it, the system is logging an emergency vehicle as going through the light, and if it gets back to them as abusing the system, the responders may loose the privilege of having it.

2. Get caught with one in you personal vehicle here in Virginia and it's considered tampering with a traffic signal, which will fetch you a pretty heavy fine and possibly (hopefully, in my opinion) jail time.

I ride a bike too, it suck sitting there, but I do it anyways. Don't take out your impatience on the emergency responders.

First off, thanks for all the help so far, this site is the best!

I just rooted my Evo using the unrevoked3. Had a little bit of trouble, nothing major, and overall it was a success. I also installed ROM Manager and Titanium Backup, based on suggestions found here.

The problem is, I'm not quite getting how to flash the roms... I downloaded one through ROM manager, and it seemed to work, but I didn't notice a single thing different. I tried to install CyanogenMod, and it downloaded, but it would always fail during the install.

I tried downloading on my computer, then moving the .zip file to my sdcard. Then I select "install rom from sdcard" and everything seems to go ok, I end up having to go into recovery and "rollback" my phone to the stock rom, because twice now I've almost bricked my phone.

Really, what I'm wanting is a setup like that "Kuma Style" one (without the animal), and a different bootscreen. I have spent a lot of time searching around, and it seems simple enough, I just seem to be missing some integral part of the proccess.....

Any help is appreciated!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnie_darko:
Unlocking nand just unlocks something so that you can save full image backups. That wouldn't lead to your phone not installing a ROM right, it's just something you'll want just in case things go wrong. So still finish the root and get nand. But that's not what you're missing here.

Possible error: Did you wipe settings &factory reset and wipe cache in ClockworkMod before flashing the ROM? I think that could lead to some problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
Try flashing the alternative Amon Ra recovery through rom manager (will state that rom manager won't be fully functional unless clockworkmod is installed) and loading the roms onto the sd card then reboot into recovery. Amon Ra seems to work better imo than clockworkmod. When you're talking about something like "kuma style," those are themes that are usually flashable in recovery also. The boot animation could alse be flashable in recovery but if not, there are instructions on how to adb push custom ones onto your phone.
