[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Che Kirila:
Mine r520m works fine except bluetooth. In 2006 Ericsson didn't support this model anymore, so I switched to k790a that works fine for now. Even now with 3.2 Mp camera it does better job in dark sets, than X10. When I read specs I was surprised that they didn't use xenon flash. It is a kind of a bad joke for flagship model.

Returning to water damage - it is enough just to leave a phone for a week in regular room environment. Of course, I mean average environment, not like in rain season somewhere in rainforest. Alcohol (any kind - regular ethanol or isopropyl) absorbs water, but dries faster, than water, so this bath just significantly reduces water concentration. By the way, don't try to find 99% of consumer ethanol - it doesn't exist. ;) 96% is the best (190 proof in the US or 175 degrees proof in UK). For isopropyl regular distillation gives 87.9% max. Azeotropic distillation produces higher percentage for both these spirits, but I doubt you can find it in regular stores. Closed areas, where water was suck in remain problematic. Moreover, when water finally dries out, it leaves mineral salts. It is not a big deal at circuit plates since those salts are electric safe (except sea water salts), but in clear areas like between screen layers they will be visible.

And again - if you want to kill any electronics most effective way, turn it on when it is wet. If you want to save it - be patient.

Hopefully this will help some poor schmucks that manage to do the #3 in the toilet (common enough so I call it #3).

If there is ****, just let go man, really.

If there is piss, likely more damage has been done so chances of recovery are slimmer (salty water is more conductive).

If clean water then likely the phone will work but some hardware might not survive (like the camera, ....)

In any case, remove the battery IMMEDIATELY!

Wipe battery dry. Leave alone and forget about it for 3-4 days.

Shake out as much water as possible out of the phone and let it dry for a week. You can safely use a hair dryer to warm it up to speed the evaporation. Do it twice a day.

If you want, dunk the phone in 99% rubbing alcohol for 10-20 seconds, swish it around. Take it out and forget you had a phone for 3-4 of days.

I never dropped one into the loo but I did go swimming with two phones and both survived (mostly).

Hi folks,

First, sorry my bad English. :rolleyes: I didn't found any solution in Turkish forums.:( I have a problem with Turkish characters incoming SMS. Turkish language is including extra "ı,ş,ü,ö,ç,ğ" characters. If incoming SMS has a "ı" character in sentence, i see that like "ğ" :confused: For example: Writing in SMS "nasılsın", it seems "nasğlsğn" :confused:

kay, so im a huge n00b to all of this android stuff and whatnot, but anyhoo.

I started having a few aches and pains with running plain CM 6.1

1.

I love sense.

We ALL Love Sense

I wanted that ****ing launcher so bad while i was sitting with the stock ADW Launcher on CM6......ugh..... i could taste it.

I finally came across an ADW Hero Launcher Theme that would work with froyo!

hence, my phone is now a sexy-ass sense-ish froyo monster.

2.

For some ****ing reason my 3d gallery (that i never really liked in the first place) stopped working with picture frames on the homescreen. No Bueno.

After hours of searching on multiple forums i found out titanium backup would remove the 3d gallery since u cant just uninstall it...

than i just ripped a gallery.apk out of an older ROM and voilah.

2D gallery on sense froyo= happy buddha.

like the thread states.... I just wanted to brag =]

okay.. this might be a stupid question.. but i tried looking in the forum and didn't find anything relating to this so i had to ask... Gingerbread is advertised to support NFC.. does that has any hardware requirements? what i liketo know is that if I get the G2 now and upgrade to Gingerbread when it becomes available, will have all the new functionalities or I will be missing certain piece of functionality because there is no hardware support?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroSX:
I don't think we have the hardware for it on the G2. It'll take a few years to catch on stateside anyway, given that we're slow at adopting *anything* much less things that could scare people because of privacy issues (even though nfc has been in the US forever and a day now)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dmueller2:
Hi!

according to my first analysis hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841623 i can say that the key to call recording on the i9000 is in the WM8994 driver.

intro: how does the i9000 do video call recording?

video calls are recorded through an additionally added pcm device .. and controlled by the libvtstack.so (there is some h324 recording function inside, which manages recording).

But how does it the SHW-M100S?

well, the SHW-M100S records through the device 0 (as seen in asound.conf)

------ asound.conf from SWH-M100S ------

pcm.AndroidRecord_Headset_videocall {

type hooks

slave.pcm {

type hw

card 0

device 0

}

hooks.0 {

type ctl_elems

hook_args [

# Enable audio output from the DSP

#{name "Voice Call Path"	value 3}	# 0:OFF 1:RCV 2:SPK 3:HP 4:BT 5:3POLL

#{name "MIC Path"	value 1}	# 0:Main Mic 1:Sub MIC

]

}

}

----------------------------------------

------ asound.conf from i9000 jpa ------

pcm.AndroidRecord_Headset_videocall {

type hooks

slave.pcm {

type hw

card 1

device 0

}

hooks.0 {

type ctl_elems

hook_args [

# Enable audio output from the DSP

# Already called codec path by Video call outputstream

#{name "Voice Call Path"	value 3}	# 0:OFF 1:RCV 2:SPK 3:HP 4:BT

#{name "MIC Path"	value 1}	# 0:Main Mic 1:Sub MIC

]

}

}

----------------------------------------

notice the difference in the card line!

resume: shw-m100s sets recording (also for normal voice calls) to device 0 and easily records through MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_CALL whereas the i9000 uses an additional pcm device for (at least) video call recording.

what can we do:

(1) adapt the wm8994 initialization and setup from the shw-m100s to the i9000

pro: can use 3rd party call recorders

con: need to recompile kernel

(2) use the pcm device for voice call recording too

pro: should work with stock i9000 firmware

con: need specific call recording software for i9000

risk: the video call recording funcion in libvtstack.so specificly sets up the pcm device and some of the internals correspond to the call mode. i.e. nothing is got back from the pcm (1) device

i favour alternative one, but i need help to figure out the wm8994 initialization. i'm missing some alsa and wm8994 know how.

anybody able to help?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dmueller2:
Just in case for those who don't know.

Setting up a build environment for android arm is a like a pain in the ass.

cross compiling was rather painless for the dreambox. i just hate this autoconf, configure, make ****. moreover i hate cygwin.

can anyone tell me why the alsa libs need curses?

and why does ncurses needs such fu**ing hacking.

hxxp://credentiality2.blogspot.com/2010/08/compile-ncurses-for-android.html

but initializing the codec in the wm8994 startup seems to help. The code below was in the pcm startup code.

------

// For initialize codec.

wm8994_write(codec, WM8994_POWER_MANAGEMENT_1, 0x3 << WM8994_VMID_SEL_SHIFT | WM8994_BIAS_ENA);

msleep(50);

wm8994_write(codec, WM8994_POWER_MANAGEMENT_1, WM8994_VMID_SEL_NORMAL | WM8994_BIAS_ENA);

wm8994_write(codec,WM8994_OVERSAMPLING, 0x0000);

wm8994_write( codec,WM8994_FLL1_CONTROL_2, 0x0700 );

wm8994_write( codec,WM8994_FLL1_CONTROL_3, 0x86C2 );

wm8994_write( codec,WM8994_FLL1_CONTROL_5, 0x0C88 );

wm8994_write( codec,WM8994_FLL1_CONTROL_4, 0x00E0 );

wm8994_write(codec, WM8994_FLL1_CONTROL_1, WM8994_FLL1_FRACN_ENA |WM8994_FLL1_ENA);

reg = wm8994_read(codec,WM8994_AIF1_CLOCKING_1);

reg |= (WM8994_AIF1CLK_SRC_FLL1 | WM8994_AIF1CLK_ENA); //enable the clocks

wm8994_write(codec, WM8994_AIF1_CLOCKING_1, reg);

//Enable clocks to the Audio core and sysclk of wm8994

reg = wm8994_read(codec, WM8994_CLOCKING_1 );

reg &= ~(WM8994_SYSCLK_SRC_MASK | WM8994_DSP_FSINTCLK_ENA_MASK|WM8994_DSP_FS1CLK_ENA_MASK);

reg |= (WM8994_DSP_FS1CLK_ENA | WM8994_DSP_FSINTCLK_ENA);

wm8994_write(codec,WM8994_CLOCKING_1 ,reg);

------

video recording in video calls is broken now. but who cares.

has anyone has a binary of arecord from the alsa-utils?

I purchased my dell streak directly from dell at the cost of $549.00 (UNLOCKED), before making this expensive purchase I contacted dell in reference to this device being an unlocked device which I was assured it was at the given price. When I received the device I have an account with at&t as well as with t-mobile for my son, when I placed the t-mobile sim card in the so called unlocked device, I received a network locked message and it would'nt allow me to have the services of t-mobile, yet once I placed in my at&t sim, it worked just fine. Why would dell indicate unlocked when in fact its really not. I have samsung, nokia and htc unlocked devices which works on ANY carrier with a sim card. Whats the deal here on this dell streak device.
[Streak 5 General] flub:
All Streaks purchased from Dell in the U.S are locked to at&t, you can request a lock code from at&t which they should give you free of charge.

I read on the Dell forum that they will shortly be selling unlocked streaks in the U.S
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Like the previous poster said AT&T will provide you with an unlock code. Just and FYI though using that unlock code will not get your phone the Froyo update any quicker as it appears only factory unlocked phones will get it first (along with UK devices) The AT&T locked phones will start getting the update on Dec 3rd according to Dell.

I just bought my Streak last week and will be returning it and reordering an unlocked unit from Dell which should be available in a week or two.

Thanks!
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
From what I understand they will but only on their Edge network, they won't be any different hardware wise that the current AT&T locked devices they will just be unlocked from the factory. All that means is they will have a different baseband version classifying them as unlocked.

Now on WM7 its not working anymore :(
[HD7 General] laurel_31299:
Well.. whatever I found is that STK Sim Tool Kit is not available in WP7 yet and there is no plans for future release. But maybe MS will change plans. In other way, you can change the bank or account type to use SMS autentification so STK will be not needed.

BUT... if you are using STK tool to unlock the credit card - it is no way how to do it, as SMS autentification is just for entering webbanking.

That is really BAD..
