First time poster, long time xda user here. I stumbled across a discovery regarding the "hidden menus" normally accessed by dialer codes. I haven't seen it posted ever and all the programs I've seen take you directly to the dialer and enter the codes, so forgive me if this is already known info.

It appears these hidden menus are directly executable.

What I did: Using LauncherPro I changed what one of the dock Icons linked to using LauncherPro "activities" This takes you to a list of what appears to be ALL of the phons functions, one of which is the hidden menu apps. You can add these to your dock and a normal press on them will bring you to that menu without having to enter the dialer codes. Some of them don't work if they run direct functions like lcd tests but you CAN access the menus for then and run them from there.

I was only able to test a few but I know for sure you can access the debug menu and info menu this way. You still have to enter your MSL for protected functions but this is easier than remembering dialing codes. I would Imagine that this means they are also executable if you can find their links in root explorer etc.

I haven't had a chance to play around with all of the "activites" listed but there are many interesting links in the menu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cveltman:
A little update it appears you CAN bypass MSL entry normaly required for some of the screens. Most notably the multimedia menu can be accessed without it so now you can disable media filtering without your MSL!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cdudeman:
That's kinda cool. Wonder what korea mode does? I would try but don't want to get my phone stuck in korean to where I can't do anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] walord:
I was aware of this but didn't share, I figured everyone already knew. It's fun to mess around in the hidden menus but I didn't actually do anything.

A good activity shortcut that I like is to make VideoPlayer Videolist a shortcut. It gives instant access to the movies :D.
[Epic 4G Android Development] IBNobody:
If you don't like Launcher Pro, You can get the same stuff in ADW too.

Home/Custom Shortcut/Activities/
[Epic 4G Android Development] cveltman:
Yeah, I wasn't completely sure, it seemed simple enough but considering they put the dialer code thread in the wiki it seemed maybe it was just SO simple it was overlooked. In any event I'm pretty sure no one said anything about being able to access MSL restricted service screens without your MSL so hopefully that will help someone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ipaq3115:
I don't know if anybody cares you can get your msl by doing a getprop cammand from the shell. Look for rsi.MSL followed by your MSL number
[Epic 4G Android Development] kalico17:
i still cant access these menus by dialing the #s in

ive tried multiple times, stock rom an rooted..

nothing..

n00b status right now :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Just do getprop ril.MSL

It'll return just the number. :P
[Vibrant General] Stephie Baby:
Ok. So I just got this phone. I had the iPhone before and Im pretty tech savy. I honestly have no idea about this phone. I rooted it and today I received the Tmobile GPS update. Of course silly me updated it. Now its hung on the opening Vibrant screen. I deleted all data thinking it might restore it completely. That didnt work. So now my phone wont work and I have no clue how to fix it. HELP PLZ! :confused:
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
First of all can you access download mode or recovery? Try pressing both volume buttons and power. And let me know what happens.
[Vibrant General] Stephie Baby:
Yea i can access all that. It gives me the "reboot system now" and all the other choices.
[Vibrant General] namansell:
So reflash stock thru odin
[Vibrant General] Stephie Baby:
Im trying to do that now.

Not sure how long it takes. Its on "File Analysis"

How long does it normally stay on that?
[Vibrant General] aperezny:
It appears your phone is Soft-Bricked. You may need to use ODIN to go back to stock

Went over this myself. I am pretty sure this is the same scenario. I followed these instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799105
[Vibrant General] aperezny:
Verify your drivers

Sorry, took too long replying, i see you already almost there. If it stays too long at the File Analysis phase then there is probably not communication between your PC and your Phone. Make sure your PC detects your phone and that ODIN shows a port number when your phone is connected. (Any port # will do it) Check your drivers. Also if running Windows 7 Vista, try running ODIN as administrator.
[Vibrant General] Stephie Baby:
The link to get all the files I need isnt working. GRRR!! This is a pain! Lol.
[Vibrant General] cathardicnotion:
Not long usually.

It sounds like you are in recovery mode vice download mode my friend. Try this:

First make sure you have all the correct drivers for the phone loaded onto your system.

-Close and reopen Odin.

-Unplug the USB cable and remove the battery.

-Reinsert the battery into the phone.

-Hold down both vol down + vol up and plug in the usb cable (make sure it's plugged into your computer first).

This should get you to a yellow screen that has a andriod sweeping, with "Download Mode" displayed at the bottom.

When you look in Odin you should see a little yellow box with a com port number in the upper left. This means the computer and Odin have found the phone, and that it is now ready for flashing.

Select the stock JFD firware for the PDA option, and the correct 512.pit file for PIT.

Try flashing again. Hopefully you get a bit further this time!
[Vibrant General] Stephie Baby:
YAY!! It worked!! Ok. Thanks for the help.

Oh should I install the Tmobile GPS fix and root it again? Or will it get stuck again?
[Vibrant General] The_wolf88:
It's better for all of us to wait for Froyo !
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
No! heh....download Kies Mini (there's a thread in here...like pg 1 or 2) install JI6 from there. It's the official release instead of OTA from T-Mobile.

[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
Well I finally have everything set up the way I like it internally. But of course I can't stop tinkering just because I'm done with my software. So now I am thinking about doing so external modifications to my device.

I know this will void my warranty. Not concerned about that. It its voided already due to a few unfortunate drops and a lost battle with some moisture.

I saw one modification to the case already. Someone had sanded all of the black paint off of that case to expose the red plastic. Think this might be my first step. Something I was really anxious to try was changing out the leds for the bottom for keys (home/menu/back/search.) Need some feedback on this though. Has anyone tried it yet? Questions? Comments? Concerns? Anything at all.

[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Yep. this guy did it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696526

i'd be interested to see how the sanded battery cover would come out. how do you plan on getting it smooth and refined looking? higher-grit paper?
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
Thanks for the link. Couldn't seem to find anything on it.

I am not sure if I am going to do that battery cover. Just the part of the case between the main body and the battery cover. That thin flat black strip. I don't know if the battery cover is red underneath.

And you are exactly correct. Knock off the paint with a lower grit. Then polish it up with some 1000 or 2000 grit. Maybe a little bit of wet sanding.

[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
It's not.

My evo has the red trim now (knife to scrape, sandpaper to polish), and induction charging. My warranty was void soon after I got it thanks to taking it apart to solder.
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
Sorry, but induction charging? Similar to the touchstone/palm phones?

Sent from my Burnt Droid regaw-rooted EVO.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
EXACTLY

There is a thread floating around about it.

The led changes are very easy. Unfortunately my hands have always shaken too much for this type of soldering though. If only i could teach my wife such things....

Good thing you can be a computer engineer without having to solder microleds lol.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
Not similar, ripped out of a palm.

[EVO 4G General] :
That mod with the battery pins and contacts from an old phone instead of wire would give a very OEM look.
[EVO 4G General] voodoo55:
not so sure about replacing the leds under the bottons, but i'd like to change the charging/notification light. think i remember seeing it changed to blue/white to good effect.
[Desire General] MattSid:
I'm interested to buy a new car stereo, in the way to stream directly the music from mine Desire over bluetooth. Someone got some experience about it? I would look to buy an used car stereo from ebay for this... any clue? :)
[Desire General] bucketchem:
I have a kenwood KDC-X8016BT

does almost all.

can use the headset buttons to change the music being streamed via BT on phone OR other wy around.

Handsfree

voice dial

etc etc

the only thing I don’t like is.... when scrolling through the phonebook via the headset.... you can't use the first letter shortcuts .... you have to scroll them all from a to z. But you can set 10 numbers to the one push favorites button... :D
[Desire General] ThaYoung1!:
If I were you I'd only believe it works when you see it works... My desire reboots when connected to my carstereo via bluetooth / a2dp since the Froyo 2.2 upgrade.
[Desire General] bigr1979:
Really ? I use my Desire with Pioneer BT600 everyday for internet radio, spotify, calls. Never had a reboot at all everything fine with mine, on Leedroid 2.1a atm
[Desire General] MattSid:
So, normally a stereo with a Bluetooth connection "should be" compatible with the Desire? :)
[Desire General] 400ixl:
I have the JVC KD-R901 and the bluetooth streaming works fine, as does hands free calling with the Desire.
[Desire General] MattSid:
Good to hear! someone got another experience with Desire + one car stereo with Bluetooth?
[Desire General] MattSid:
Another question, can two different bluetooth devices work together or there would be a conflict? for example using the Desire plus this remote for the radio:
[Desire General] philje123:
I have a JVC KD-BT11 few years old now but very good and never had any problems. Works very well with the desire both for calls and music.

Connects within seconds of turning starting the car and also works with the steering wheel controls in the car to skip tracks on the phone etc.

[Desire General] aindow:
I use the Sony MEX-BT3800U with me desire and it works really well via Bluetooth. It even has a front USB socket for direct access to the SD card and is even strong enough to charge the phone too.
[Desire General] MattSid:
The Stereo needs a minimum Bluetooth revision to be compatible with the Desire? for example the Bluetooth 1.1 or 2.0?
[Desire General] MattSid:
bump, no one know?
[Desire General] MattSid:
I just bought a new car stereo with Bluetooth 1.1 and 2.0 with A2DP (Marquant MCR-1257) but I got problem to play the music from mine Desire, can someone help me? :(

I connected the two devices together, then the instructions said that I need to change the autoradio mode (there are Radio, Aux, and BT-Play mode) but only the first two are selectable.

What I have done wrong? how did you connected the Desire with your stereo?
[Desire General] MattSid:
After some settings I finally connected the music via Bluetooth...but...

DAMN SUONDS SO BAD :mad:

The music volume is lower then the AUX mode, and there's this costant background sound that ruins the sound so much :(

It's that normal that Bluetooth sounds so bad? Als digital sounds should not be better compared to the Aux? :confused:
[Desire General] Parastie:
That doesn't sound normal. I've had a similar sound problem with stereo headphones when it thinks the headphones are mono headset. Rebooting both devices and reconnecting helped.
[Desire General] aindow:
Check the media volume on the phone is set to full whilst you are streaming over Bluetooth.
[Desire General] MattSid:
I tryed both, I disconnected and riconnected the device from zero, I checked the volume level (max) but it's still sounds worst (quality and volume) compared to AUX.

Any other clue? :(
[Desire General] jjkshaughnessy:
i got a pioneer and all is good. even downloads my phone book so no rooting through phone when driving to make a call. Best advice is to go to a proper car stereo place and ask them for advice as they have seen and done it. from my experience stay away from halfords. Talk to these guys http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/store-finder.htm they have always been able to help me with anything
[Desire General] CheekyGreek:
Resurrection of post

So for bringing back a relatively old post, but I am about to invest a considerable amount of money into my car stereo system, and am looking for the perfect head unit for the following:

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 to work with A2DP for streaming music and making calls (needs phonebook reading etc)

Ipad to work with Apple Connector direct to headunit (Mainly for audio, however Video playback would be awesome via the Apple Video Connector)

AUX input for other people's devices

DAB Radio

USB port for flash disk

Do you think all these requirements can be satisfied with one super mega ultra headunit?

Sorry for posting in this forum despite my lack of a Desire, however I couldn't find a similar topic in the I9000 forum!

Thoughts on a postcard perhaps?

[Desire General] Dave_2:
Bucketchem,

I'm also considering buying a Kenwood KDC-8016BT to use with my Android phone. Can you confirm how the voice dialling works that you quote it can do? The manual on the Kenwood website implies that only the KDC-X7016/KDC-X7016L can perform voice dialling calls (perhaps because this unit uses the external Bluetooth box which may be higher spec’ed that the one built into the KDC-X8016BT? Anyway, it seems strange that the higher spec'ed unit overall couldn't do this. Can you please confirm voice dialling is indeed a feature of the KDC-X8016BT? If so, does it require pre recording of voice tags (as the Kenwood manual implies is required for the KDC-X7016/KDC-X7016L) or does it just activate the voice dialler built into the phone - thus the intelligence for the voice dialling is in the phone rather than the car stereo?

Thanks,

David.

Hello everybody,

at first I want to say sorry if my English will be wrong or if I will make some mistakes.

So, I'm looking for someone who can help me or give some advices with my school project.

I'm beginner in programming but I am ready for learn some new things.

the problem is:

I have to make a voice recorder for mobile phone(Windows mobile 6.5)...

The professor told me that it is something like programming MS Windows, so at first I have to try it only for MS windows.

but I don't know where should I start...

I have a programming software MS Visual Studio 2010 and netBeans...

Is it good for my project or I'll need something else?

What programming language I have to use?

I am really happy for every respond.

THX very much!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] murpium:
So I got all excited and rooted my Motorola Backflip. Following this guide:

(I have lurked a long time and only just signed up so I can't post URLs)

YOUTUBE ?v=YZkZoPbRCvE

(too long;don't watch: rage against the cage forked processes and magically gave me su access)

and then I downloaded Titanium Backup and made a backup of the apps I wanted to uninstall. And then using Titanium Backup I uninstalled AT&T Radio and Yahoo Search and a few other non-essentials I didn't want. Now I'm thinking I may need some warranty work done on the phone and went back to Titanium Backup. Apparently you can't restore a backup if you uninstalled the app.

Oh noes. :confused:

So I'm curious if anyone knows a way to load the stock image back on this Backflip. I have searched pretty hard and found a dump here:

forum . xda-developers . com /showthread.php?t=642684

but I am not sure if that is what I need or what that will do to my phone (since he says he doesn't have boot.img or recovery.img??)

I haven't loaded a different kind of ROM or anything like that, it's running just your regular stock Motorola Backflip minus a few of the prepackaged apps.

Is it possible to restore them using my Titanium Backup files and I'm just not using them correctly? Can I find APKs of these packaged apps and sideload them? Is there an update.zip containing just the stock image and I can use that to do a recovery on that phone?

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help out. Please let me know if there are any questions I can answer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Devil495:
To restore your Backflip to OEM go to the following link:

Oops - as a newbie here they won't let me post links, so here are the instructions, copied and pasted from attdroids forum (add the dot com):

Restoring your Backflip back to OEM (NAND re-flash) So some people, me included, had some issues with the first time through the rooting process. Some, like me, have had radio issues come up. Some have said they deleted one too many of the stock Moto apps, or have removed parts of Blur that now makes the device unusable... So here are the instructions on how to go back to stock, or just like you first took it out of the box.

**Please note (!) this will delete all user data stored on the internal NAND memory, but will leave your SD untouched. So whatever you feel you might need to back up, do it if you can before performing this.

Also, neither me nor the attdroid forums can be held responsible for any loss of personal data, or if your cat decides to chew on your USB cable while flashing.

**Some people are having issues with RSD Lite, in which case, look HERE to find other versions. 4.5.7 is the minimum version that's safe to use though. Also, the 13.37 restore image that is linked below is for ATT branded backflips only, and don't flash anything below whatever version you're currently running as installing an older version will cause several bootup issues and some other problems. For other variations on the MB300/Motus please look in THIS thread at ModMyMobile to download the appropriate carrier firmware for your device.

•You need to download these things...

•RSD Lite 4.5.7

•AT&T Stock Android 1.5 - Blur v.13.37 - Original SBF by Skrilax_CZ @ ModMyMobile

•And if you're doing this and haven't attempted root yet, or would just like to wipe your device through and through, HERE are the Moto USB drivers. Make sure to get the correct installer for x86 or x64.

1.Install your USB Drivers (if you haven't already)

2.Install RSD Lite

3.Turn off your backflip

4.Plug the USB cable into the phone and computer

5.Open the keyboard and press J+D+Power simultaneously and let up when you see the blue recovery screen with the black moto batwings. In the bottom left corner of the screen it will say in white letters "USB init mode"

6.Now when the phone boots to the recovery screen, Windows will begin installing a driver for the MSM720x flash recovery mode.

7.After the driver has successfully installed, open RSD Lite

8.Upon opening RSD Lite, you should notice ONE connected device in the table below. If not, post what you did exactly and we can help

9.Now that the device is showing in RSD Lite, click the "..." browse button to point to the Android 1.5 Blur 13.37 image you downloaded earlier

10.Once that's selected, press start to start flashing your phone.... DO NOT UNPLUG UNTIL IT'S FINISHED.

11.Once finished, it will reboot itself and you should be presented with the Android Setup after a minute or two.

Now, you've wiped the slate clean. Now you can try to root a basically untouched device.

I have Backflip AT&T dan already rooted, now I want to Unroot, btw why I can't connected when bootloader mode, when adb-shell no problem

In RSD-Lite V 4.8 at Device Property N/A , but in Status : Connected

At the icon Motoconnect status : phone usb mode not supported. please change to supported mode

[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
This could be a Noise Cancelling mic,

Now i know for sure that there is many different prototypes floating about, the HD I used in London did not have this noise cancelling mic hole(if that is what it is). But the early prototype video from Solopalmari had the same pin hole right by the flash.

I think there is definitely three prototypes of this phone, and i would not like to hazard a guess at what one we will end up having;/

Look for videos of the HD in the london events, you will not see a pin hole by the flash, yet we see one in this pre-release video...

Check the pictures below, one is a screen capture from the GSMonline.pl video, and the other was from the event in London three weeks ago, where did the hole go? I asked a HTC rep at the event, where did the noise cancelling mic go, he said that was on only an early prototype(solopalmari video prototype). Now it has made another appearance....

HTC WHAT PHONE ARE WE GETTING??? lol

The plot thickens;)

JD
[Desire HD General] mupet0000:
Yes I noticed the little hole and I also think it's a mic. I hope it is a mic for sure! I've noticed some prototypes have the SRS/Dolby branding and some don't too.
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
Just would love to know what phone im actually getting, it seems that HTC themselves dont even know;(

The two pictures on the OP confirm this, I hope it does come with noise cancellation;)

JD
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
The screen and now this, I quite like a bit of mystery.:)
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
Yeah,

Its also scary knowing there is so many different versions floating about...

Its like, what one have I got? ;)

JD
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
also the first video showing the DHD which was uploaded by Solopalmari all those months back has a hole there too.
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
Yep,

That was the video I stated on the OP about Solo's video... This was deemed to be a prototype when i asked a HTC rep at the London showcase... Now it seems there is an actual advanced prototype of this version. The old one was a metalic blue casing, now this one has a brown casing.

Man this is freaking me out, haha

I hope it does end up with a noise cancelling mic, It would enhance the desirability of this phone;P

JD
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
The Mic is missing from the retail version, which means that the model that GSMonline.pl is not the retail Desire HD!!!

JD
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
It was a prototype which was sent back after the review.
[Desire HD General] JupiterDroid:
Strange to show a prototype in a online review for the actual retail product?

JD
[Desire HD General] xdaman85:
A second mic for noise cancellation would have been cool, even without it the phone is still mouth watering.
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
Go ask one of the guys who has their phone already. They should be able to tell you if it's there or not :p
[Desire HD General] HacKage:
The mic hole isn't there on mines so must just be there on the prototypes
