Ok.. I have myns rom installed, and to my knowledge apps2sd turned on which means anything i install goes to the SD card. Now i had to remove my sd card and place another one in there, then i took that one out and put mine back in.

None of my apps are on the phone anymore? Its liks it lost all my settings.

Do i have to reenable something when i put my card back in?

I thought it was supposed to all be back normal

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap27:
This happened to two of my friends recently. While normal use their i9000m froze and became unresponsive.

For one of them, after a battery pull it rebooted and stayed on a black screen. After a couple more pulls it booted into the homescreen, all his apps and data were missing. Internal SD shows as not mounted. He put in a different 4gb into the external slot and the phone formatted it (no longer works on windows now), but still doesnt show up on the settings page.

He has limited voice/text, but data and the android market doesnt work. None of his apps are there (I guess since the internal SD isnt mounting).

Any ideas on how to fix this? He was/is running JG9 with no lagfix

Hi everybody,

I am new to this forum. I have an HTC p3400i. An old model. But I dont know about its OS and details. It shows windows mobile 95 when I connect it with my PC. And when I start the mobile display shows ONBL 1.17.0000, SPL 1.17.0000, GSM 2.79.0000 and OS 1.17.0.0. I want to know what are these specifications? what is the OS. and other details of it. And whether the OS can be upgraded and how? And what other upgradations can be done? When I start windows update it shows failure. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I'm Riccardo and I'm from Italy

People here are getting crazy for this problem, when you start a call or when you listen an mp3 there is a rustle (I hope it's correct word) in background.

Maybe it's a software problem...

Any ideas?

PS: Sorry for my english :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] skinniezinho:
try an hard reset,I think the combination is :

poweron+Volume down+home key

If that doesn't solve,maybe it is better to take it to the warranty
[Optimus One, P500, V General] riccardoro:
we tried but nothing, however it's not my problem, everyone buying this phone find the rustle?

maybe a problem only for italian lg?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] denden79:
Same for me, the phone is quite noisy, even when listening to a file with silence! I hope we'll get a fix. Annoying...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
A didn't notice anything that you described here.

(Vodafone custom, V10a, Central Europe)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] amrael83:
In Italy many people complain about a rustling sound when a call is made (and not when you answer a call). The same noise is present when listening to mp3 or use youtube and you can notice it clearing the audio.

That rustling sound you can notice it more using a headset.

You can also delete it temporarily, while outgoing calls, going to change the sound volume in the settings (even after adjusting the alarm volume, the rustling sound disappears!).

I think it's a software problem in the firmware of LG and if other countries do not have this problem, this is a firmware issue dedicated to Italy.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] riccardoro:

The same is the case on my phone, bought it in Czech Republic, Vodafone V10A. As soon as speaker becomes active, the played sound is accompanied by a hissing noise, clearly audible in the beginning and at the end of playback. No difference using headphones (supplied or high-quality) or in-built speaker. More Optimus-owners with the same problem?

Will try to contact LG about it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] chimera123:
Hello,

i have the same problem:

rustling in the speakers when calling or listening to music or watching videos. However the sound does not occur, when i answer a call.

I replaced my first Optimus with a new one because of this problem, but the new phone has the same problem.

I've contacted my LG distributor (Slovenia not Slovakia :)), and he said he has the same problem with his Optimus. They don't know anything about Lg's fix for this error, but he said that there will probably be one. When, he doesn't know.

He said the problem is with the speaker, that turns on/off with an offset (so it starts before you actually need to use it, and ends some time after using it).

Its a relatively new phone, so there has to be some updates in the future.

On the other hand, the phone (for its price range) is amazing...

@doktordoom

if you find out anything, let us know

Has anyone tried hard reset?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PhusioN01:
Same thing here. It happens when the handset plays music or a sound effect and after 2 or 3 seconds after the playback, the hissing noise suddenly stops.

It doesn't happen when I receive a call, but I noticed that if the person on the other end of the line is not speaking, I just can't ear any sound, not even ambient noise. It's like the handset turns off the speaker every time the other person is quiet.

It's not a serious problem but it can be annoying.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Christian Troy:

This morning, I've contact Telus, at first the hissing noise was there and when the automated message has started, no more noise. I've called someone and the noise wasn't there, tried someone else and...hissssssssssssssssssss :mad:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] iHaveAQuestion:
Having the same problem here...

BUMP

(First-time poster, decided to reply to this thread instead of opening a new one *hooray*)

So is there any more info on this? I got this phone about a week ago and experienced the 'hissing' noise. Just like everyone else describes, when the speakers becomes active, the 'hissing' noise can be heard, when the sound stops, the noise stops about 3 seconds later. Even when using headphones (LG-headset & Koss PortaPro), the noise is still there.

I'm now running cyanogenmod (which is really nice btw :D), and the noise is the same as when I was running the stock Froyo 2.2.2. ROM.

Is there someone working on fixing this, or is this just a problem that is known, but is caused be a hardware issue thus almost impossible to fix?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Hardware just sucks...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
If this could be solved we had a solution until now like we had with the touchscreen issue, so I don't think this can be fixed, at least not easily.

As I asked this may be a hardware problem.

being a cheap phone is not an excuse like some users say. this is the worst sound quality I heard in years in a phone and I used many cheaper phones.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] iHaveAQuestion:
Yeah it really does suck... And when you think about it, LG knew this was going on, yet they produced this phone without fixing it. Why they would mess up on something so basic like a speaker goes beyond me, LG stays LG I guess. I didn't expect an iPhone quality device for this price, but still it's a SPEAKER come on! I'd gladly pay a few dollars extra for a better speaker.

Another weird thing is, I couldn't find much about this on google, it's like most people don't even notice :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] A.Shaferov:
Same problem. I am from Russia.

Phone with official fw, android 2.3 (20c).

Does anyone tried to tune some settings in the hidden menu?

To access hidden menu type 3845#*500# in dialer.

It is possible to reduce noise a little by setting 33 (or lower) in Device Test -> Sound Test -> Audio CAL Tool -> Subsystem calibration -> Speaker_volume. But sound is reduced too.

Click 'write to efs' and 'write to mem' after setting values.

Did anyone found solution for strange background noise during calls...

In Hidden Menu (3845#*500#), under

DEVICE TEST->SOUND TEST-> VOCODER are the settings that affect noise reduction and bad call quality but I do not know what parameter disables sound processing on calls.

Also on page no.55 in service manual, there is this text and I hope that it can be useful to someone with greater knowledge to change parameters and turn off noise suppression, and that stupid hiiiisss sound during call.

[Captivate General] ajm786:
Guys, I have a problem with the proximity sensor on my Captivate.

The issue is that while on a call, when holding the device between my ear and my shoulder, the proximity sensor causes the screen to turn on, and starts randomly hitting buttons. So I tested it.

The proximity sensor works perfectly when the phone is "standing" on end and the proximity sensor is covered. It does NOT work (the screen does not turn off) when the phone is laying flat and you cover the sensor.

So bottom line, when the phone is standing 90 degrees, the proximity sensor turns the screen off when there's no light. When the phone is 180 degrees (or anywhere near it), even when there is no light, the sensor does not turn the phone off.

Is there any way for me to tweak the sensor at all using an app? Or is my phone defective?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] baseballfanz:
With the phone flat on the table and I make a call, using my finger to cover the sensor the screen goes off. I try to twist and turn the phone in all angles and the screen is still off. Not sure if it's related but I had the same problems with the screen coming on when using my shoulder and cheek to hold phone.

My hair was a little longer and I think the hairs blocked the sensors.:D
[Captivate General] ajm786:
I just did the same thing. With the phone flat on the table and I make a call, cover the proximity sensor with my finger, the screen stays ON. The minute I put the phone up 90 degrees, the screen shuts off.

What's going on?:confused:
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Perhaps you are running a different combination of kernel/rom? One that takes into account the devices orientation when engaging the proximity sensor?

I've never actually tested this, but I know I had various degrees of proximity sensor problems running certain ROMs. So maybe try a different combination?
[Captivate General] ajm786:
I'm running Cognition 2.3b, if that helps.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Doesn't actually sorry... :(

Haven't used any of the Cognition ROMs in quite a while. DesignGears has a nice IRC channel though where lots of people tend to hang out. Maybe hop over there and politely ask around to see if anyone else has had the same problem? Asking within a group of Cognition users might get you more help than the XDA population in general.

All I can say is that with my i9000 kernel/radio/rom combo, my proximity sensor is not affected by the device orientation. Also, you could try running a proximity sensor test and see what happens, just to rule out defective hardware.

*#*#0588#*#* – Proximity sensor test

Hope that helps.
[Captivate General] ajm786:
I can confirm using the proximity sensor test that it works fine. Proximity sensor only has two states, 1 and 0, correct? No matter the way I hold the phone, the proximity sensor test shows it running perfectly.

Does this mean that there's a problem with the ROM? Is it possible for me to simply replace the phone.apk?

[Captivate General] jhernand1102:
Does it work if you flash back to the stock ROM? If it works on stock then it's a problem with the ROM, If it doesn't work on stock then it could be a problem with your phone...
[Captivate General] ajm786:
Yes. Flashing back to stock ROM it works perfectly. Any of the Froyo ROMs, it does not work. Cyanogenmod fixed this in his ROMs, but I am not sure if dg plans to implement this in his ROMs. :-( Unfortunately, this behavior is by design in Froyo. Google decided that during a call, it makes more sense that as soon as your phone is put in a horizontal position, that the accelerometer overrides the proximity sensor and disables it. Their decision makes no sense, because it then invalidates the need for a prox sensor in the first place.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i think its cognition. i didnt test it but i had the problem during calls, i figured it was sesitivity not position but like i said i never tested it . i think its a jj4 bug. now im using perception and it works better.
[Captivate General] ajm786:
It's not Cognition. It's Froyo. Google made the choice to have the accelerometer disable the prox sensor as soon as the phone was oriented horizontally. I can't see in what situation that would make any sense at all.
[Captivate General] BFMoon:
Still no answer for fixing this? I am not using cognition, I am using the leaked Froyo...

[Captivate General] silver2wind:
I'm running cognition b7 and have the same issue but just hit the power button to manually toggle the screen in a horizontal position during a call. Hardly an inconvenience.
[Captivate General] ajm786:
Eclair does not have the problem at all. Tried, tested and true. If you have the problem with stock Eclair, something is physically wrong with your phone.

That's not the point. The point is that they gimped Froyo on purpose, and for what, I don't know. It's counter-intuitive.

Just so you know, my co-worker has the Nexus S, which is basically the exact same phone as ours, except with Gingerbread. Guess what? It's FIXED on Gingerbread. :rolleyes: Figures.

[G2 and Desire Z General] daft.71:
Now that our HTC Vision's were S-off'ed and rooted, we now have the choice of using either the G2 environment or the Sense environment. I don't want to start a religious war of either version. As a MoDaCo subscriber, I have access to either environment, and honestly, I can't decide which one to pick.

The Sense version actually uses the EU image, so it lacks the English (Canada) locale among other things and the G2 has the T-Mobile G2 bootanimation (which honestly I can change anytime). But those are trivial issues.

The Sense UI has that fast boot/hibernation thing going for it, but honestly, I rarely powerdown my phone.

The Google UI has that minimal thing going for it. It's a pure Google phone (especially when you don't put those T-Mobile ware on it) and I like that.

As a end user, what makes you like more one or the other?
[G2 and Desire Z General] HAK Devil:
Before really using sense with my Desire Z I would have definitely chosen minimal Froyo but I really feel that HTC has done a wonderful job with sense. The UI is definitely very attractive, runs smoothly and I love the greater level of integration it has with facebook and whatnot. Definitely going to be using sense for now but am looking forward to Gingerbread
