[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaint:
When you flash a new ROM, is it a complete reinstall of the OS, or just changing certain items while still keeping many basic elements as-is? Put another way, when you flash (and select to wipe data in ROM Manager), does it reformat the OS partition and then reinstall a fresh copy of the OS?

I've been rooted for quite a while (just for the free wifi tethering) but haven't flashed custom ROMs until today. I've been having a problem with all my media players' (ACast, Astro, the stock player) pause function since I installed Froyo. Essentially, after I pause a track, the player will hold the place. But just after I resume, the track restarts from the beginning. Because it's on all my players, it seems to indicate that there's an issue in the OS. It's been driving me nuts, and finally got me to flash my first ROM (Virtuous) in hopes that it would eliminate the problem. Everything worked fine, but the pausing issue remains, which would indicate that either every version of DInc Froyo has this problem or that errors that were in my original install of Froyo have been carried over to this custom ROM.

While I've seen mention of this problem with multiple DInc users, it doesn't seem to be widespread. I'm hoping to do a "fresh install" to see if that would get rid of the problem. Sorry if my terminology is too computer oriented, but flashing ROMs is still new to me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Flashing does not reinstall Android, the OS.

ROMs, a set of instructions/code, sits on top of Android.

Hence, each ROM has it's own set of instructions (apps/features), driven by Android.

There are several ROMs out and about w/ some pretty slick/modded audio players - take a look through the Development thread and the feature list(s) for ROMs with tricked-out audio players.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynbiosVyse:
You could try winamp player, I find it to be one of the best media players.

If you've already flashed Virtuous then I don't see how another ROM could help the problem but perhaps smtom is right as there may be another ROM out there with better audio players.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaint:
Thanks to both of you for your reply. Winamp also suffers from this problem for me. Unfortunately, I think that all the media players seem to be built on top of the same area of the Android OS (that appears to be corrupt for me). Since flashing ROMs won't work, is there a way to reinstall the OS?

Would running a RUU work?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Well ...you could try taking it back to stock and start over ...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaint:
I just tried to do this - I ran the original Froyo RUU (not the latest) which took me out of root (although I still had S-OFF). The first thing I did (before installing a bunch of apps, rooting, etc) was to try to play media and pause...the problems persists. So frustrating.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
OK - color me out of ideas on this one then...

Assume you have read thru the threads of the ROMs you've flashed (CM particularly - not because that's the cause or even that you flashed it, rather that ROM uses SD for lots of stuff) to see if anyone else is encountering this?

Have you tried flashing an AOSP (not a Sense-based) ROM to see if this happens on those too?

Those media players are pure android; some of those ROMs offer players in addition to the pure android player

To be fair, sense ROMs have sense-based players as well as android media players - just a thought to try an AOSP ROM.

Try CM, Ruby, UltimateDroid - lots of choices. I can attest, the media player(s) on UltimateDroid are unlike anything I've used before, although I cannot say whether they'd solve what ails your device unless you try some other stuff.

btw - is your music loaded on the internal memory, or on the SD? Speculation, but have you tried moving it from where it is, to the other (internal to SD or vice-versa) and the issue remains? And, is your radio updated to at least 2.15.xx?

Best of luck - please update if/when you resolve this, so the learning/knowledge can be shared.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaint:
smtom, I've seen a few other users mention this problem as well, but as you point out, it doesn't seem to be very widespread. I ran the new Verizon update (supposedly with Bug Fixes) last Friday and that hasn't helped either. Very frustrating.

I found this thread - LINK - that mentioned that the problem may be linked to the Facebook for HTC program.

As a quick background, I haven't flashed any ROMs other than Virtuous, and that didn't help. I'll try CM and report back.

Also, I have music on my stored on my internal drive and podcasts on my SD card. It seems to make no difference.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Do you use any Facebook app? And if so have you tried uninstalling any/all of them and does the issue persist?

[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Have you looked at the TelephonyManager class and specifically, implementing PhoneStateListener()?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Shaquiel Harris:
Is it me or is it starting to get kinda pointless buying Android phones if : HTC is releasing another new higher specd phone every other month (note exageration), and Google seems to drop support for a phone rather quickly and loves dropping system updates that won't support every android phone ie we are still at 2.1 and we pretty much are destined to be discontinued.. and our phone is only a few months old but is just as good as the phones being released every few months with the fancy named snapdragon processor.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
Android gets a new ver like every 3-6 months, personally I think that's too soon. Wm & IOS dont do that so often. It needs to be incremental updates, the leap from 2.1--> is minor. They could had added the features to 2.1 instead. 2.0 barely existent, you would figure the 2nd installment would had lived longer. 2.3 AKA Gingerbread is coming pretty soon, we're probably not gonna get it till like junish-decmeber 2011. New phone come out every month from htc every month, they add some feats or take or take some away. he G2 & 4G came around at the same time, the 4G has a better cpu, but cost less & G2 is vanilla and cost more:confused:. Why would you make the G2 w/ the weaker cpu is you're gonna plan on making a 2ng gen Snapdragon. So dumb in my opinion, do they even give a damn about their appealing to their loyal customers? If I had a company I would try to build consumer loyalty instead of kicking people to the side. A phone should get 6mon-1.5yrs of service at least.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
I think the G2 is actually a 1ghz processor, but it is underclocked to help save battery life. I would assume that the G2 cost more than the Slide because of the keyboard. The G2 is geared towards business men and the myTouch 4g isn't. I agree about the updates, yes we get too many too soon, but then again if we don't like it then there's Symbian (Nokia), Windows 7, ios4 (Apple), RIM (blackberry) etc. You just have to find a company that suits your needs. I personally love Android.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] archie53:
G2 is high end, the Slide is mid range. Its as simple as that and in regards to Android OS updates, from Google last year they said things would be slowing down to one upgrade per year. With 2.3 coming soon we shouldn't see the next version till a year later.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
... and this is the very reason I will be waiting to get a new android device. As soon as google gets a bit more settled with OS development and we get into the 1.5ghz or dual core processors I will be holding off on an upgrade. Next time I upgrade I will also be going with a Nexus type device (google flagship phone) that will virtually be guaranteed to get new OS releases/updates first. Mytouch 4G and G2 will be surpassed very soon. The Slide is a very nice phone, I couldn't take another day of the G1's limitations and the Slide was the first real upgrade contender at the time. I will never buy another TMO exclusive device as I believe thoroughly that TMO is responsible for not releasing the blueZ source and I also believe TMO is holding out on a Froyo OTA for the Slide. No biggie, I'll wait. Still, there is no doubt that I'm disappointed that our Slides got left in the dust ...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
Yea, it definitely is sad that we still haven't gotten Froyo. I think the Slide should of gotten the update around the sametime as other Flagship phones. It doesn't matter if the phone isn't highend. T-Mobile could of made the Vibrant they're flagship, but they chose the Slide as they're flagship phone. If you chose a phone as your flagship then you should deliver the latest software in a timely manner to compete with other flagships. I mean its only fair. The funny thing is that I bought the Slide assuming we were going to get the latest updates in a reasonable time. I guess I was wrong. Its sad how fast this phone faded away and its nowhere near old.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] archie53:
We definately shouldbe getting Froyo now. The G2 is out as is the MyTouch 4G and there is reason that we shouldn't be getting updated, at this point its getting alittle sad.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
I guess they want people who are getting impatient to buy the g2 or 4g. They probably waiting for sales to hit a certain mark before they roll out the update. I just hope that when we do get the update it will be worth the wait. I'm really hoping for adobe flash 10.1 although they say our processor doesn't meet the requirements.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] sxufeastkilla:
I agree I think ill be waiting for another GOOGLE flagship phone because they get better support and also updates faster that's why I loved my Nexus 1.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
I'm assuming you've gotten rid of your N1 our its broken. That's the best phone for android support.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] Shaquiel Harris:
They say everything about something not meeting some set requirements. I stopped believing that once my G1 started running froyo, which according to tmo and htc, shouldn't at all have met the required standards. It just doesn't make any sense to me that they jump from phone to phone and leave others behind.

It makes me start to actually wonder why I should even buy any android phone if not every device is gonna get the latest firmwire. What's the point of releasing so many (especially if not every android phone doesn't have vanilla android) if only a select few will actually stay up to date. And I use that term lightly since there seems to be no up to date according to HTC and Google.

If anything they should give us free/major huge discounts on upgrading on our device if they are going to release a goddamn upgrade to a phone we spent a lot of money for that's ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD! Was there honestly a point to buying this device?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zerolgk5:
the nexus s definitely has my attention if only for the fact that it *might* be directly supported by google. that said, the slide is a pretty nice phone, it just lacks support right now. at least two out of three things need to happen before this phone sees its full potential: s-off, release of the bluez source, and a proper update to 2.2- and at the very least, s-off is imminent.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
What exactly is the blue source?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] RavenWulf:
Bluez Source is the Bluetooth source code, so we can have fully working BT in custom ROMS... TMO and Google have been playing the blame game on releasing it
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
Oh ok, thanks for the response. Why would T-mobile release the blue source for the purpose of helping out custom roms?

Black myTouch Slide w/stock rom

www.GoTeamFriday.com
[myTouch 3G Slide General] RavenWulf:
not so that we can... but because they have to due to the rules covering General Public License. as seen in "our" letter to TMO conserning this.

Bluez source code that is used as the Bluetooth® stack on the myTouch 3G Slide™. The source code used by HTC® is licensed under the General Public License (GPL) version 23 and distributed on the myTouch 3G Slide™. In short the GPL states that the modified source code must be provided [by the entity] to any user that requests it if they own the product or software in binary form"

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smbyers:
After I successfully completed the JH7 update a while back, I get the "Communication failed" error when trying to manually check for an update. It's almost immediate. Anyone else getting this and know how to fix? I'm running stock 2.1 update 1.

I know there is no pending update, but it used to tell me that rather than this error.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippyg:
I get the same error.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smbyers:
I talked to AT&T and they had no clue (as expected) and told me to contact Samsung. I emailed Samsung but never heard anything - not even a "we got your email" response. I'm hoping a 2.2 upgrade would fix it assuming they can OTA that somehow without me having to get it the same way the Software Update tries (and fails). Worried I may be stuck and cannot get 2.2 when it does come out if this keeps up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smbyers:
I guess I posted a little too quickly. I found a Samsung response in my spam folder. It said to call Samsung so I did. He said that as long as everything else is working (market, etc.), then the reason it gives me the error is because there are no updates available for the phone. When an update is made available they will make the servers available and I will be able to download.

I'm not sure I completely buy it because it used to tell me no updates, but maybe JH7 changed the way this works to keep traffic off AT&T's servers. I guess I'll wait for the 2.2 update and see.

looks pretty sturdy. might pick it up to at least review it
[Vibrant Accessories] roly17:
looks like an otterbox defender case (that i've been waiting for). i guess the wait is over. hello cyclops:D

http://www.youtube.com/tridentcase
[Vibrant Accessories] msw1382:
Wow, looks like you could fling your phone off the wall and have no damage with that case.
[Vibrant Accessories] Frizzmmm:
Pre-ordered!!!!
[Vibrant Accessories] quest4fire:
Bought one too... it was $40 with shipping. Still cheaper than Otterbox and Casemate.
[Vibrant Accessories] Namulator:
Yea, this looks pretty nice. This is the top case on my list so far... but unfortunately I am going to need a case which fits over the extended battery, because I bought two upgraded 3500mah batteries which should be here any day. The extended batteries require a modified backing that will not work with any standard cover. :(
[Vibrant Accessories] Vision77:
Yep I will be getting one of these.... Otterbox is taking too long.....
[Vibrant Accessories] quest4fire:
I got the Cyclops case yesterday. Overall here are the Pros and Cons:

Pros:

#1: Offers very good protection for the phone, will protect it from typical drops and falls.

#2: Shipping was quick (2 days). Came from California

#3: Has a nice non slip grip. Overall feels solid and not too bulky.

#4: External buttons work well (volume, on/off)

Cons:

#1: The rubber lining collects lint from pockets

#2: The covers for USB port and headphone jack are difficult to lift up.

#3: The built in screen protector has some kind of "haze" (like you see when oil is mixed with water) and I tried cleaning it off but its still there. Not sure if that is something that will dry out over a few days.

#4: It didn't come with an extended headphone jack adapter, the video shows one in the package. I haven't tried my headphones with it so may not need it but somewhat false advertisement with the adapter in the video.

While I am satisfied with the Cyclops I still like my TPU case better. Just my 2 cents.
[Vibrant Accessories] tehmanmuffin:
i also got my cyclops case today(in white) and the headphone jack is extremely accessible i.e. i took a really fat cord from my senheiser's and it fits with tons of room to spare. im not sure why they said they would include an adapter for it and not send one its kinda weird. i also have the oily haze you were talking about but i can only see it if the screen is off

side note: dont touch the part of the plastic that touches the screen...it has a conductive layer and the more you touch it the less responsive it gets (i had an otterbox defender case for my HD2 and i wiped the inside of the screen protector and it was just not responsive anymore

in my opinion it looks nicer than the defender would have and has a better name.

trident cyclops > otterbox defender

as for the lint in your pocket thats the price you pay for having a linty pocket heh heh

only thing i find weird is the double over the micro usb port: it has a cover built into the phone...and one built into the case just remember to open the port before you put it in the case cuz its hard to slide it open with the case on

tl;dr i give it an 9/10 only because it does make the phone kinda thick

trident cyclops > otterbox defender (that they never made heh heh)
[Vibrant Accessories] zerosource:
How long did it take to ship?
[Vibrant Accessories] darksandz93:
damn i really wish i could get this case but 2 things are keeping me from buying it

1. I don't like that pre-installed screen protector i use zagg and i wanna keep using it

2. I have a front facing camera, yea i know i can drill out a hole so #1 is the main reason
[Vibrant Accessories] quest4fire:
I took off the pre-installed protector. I have the Zagg screen protector and it looks/works great. The pre-installled protector is held on with a little dab of glue and its easy to pry off with your fingers.
[Vibrant Accessories] quest4fire:
Shipping was real quick-- 2 days
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
The point of the preinstalled SP is that it covers the biggest hole in the case. Now say you spill a glass of water on the front of your phone, then it will likely just pour right inside the case. Perhaps a light bead of silicon under the edge would replace this feature, but then removing the case would be difficult. Just some thoughts.
