Its definitely a software problem. Hate to say anything bad about this phone because I do love it, but if you convert the songs to ogg instead of MP3 the crackling goes away (at least for me anyway). I seen someone say something about bad sd card so I moved an MP3 onto the phone's internal memory and still had the same crackling.

I've converted all of my music on the phone to OGG though and haven't had an issue since.
[Droid Pro General] macstibs:
Not bashing, just funny how history rhymes - the T720i and the V710 both came from Motorola as well

But Verizon was the one that lost the class action suit on the V710, not Motorola

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_Wireless

And let's not forget the XV6600 battery fiasco

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=570

I think those three phones in rapid succession were sufficient to get me to swear off VZW

Getting off topic here, but every major carrier has faced lawsuits over stuff like this. ETF, incoming texts cost, all sorts of stuff. If you leave a company because they get sued about a lousy battery, you're going to have trouble finding a carrier with a halo and wings.

And your Audiovox link shows just as many people that loved that phone as did hate it.

Back on topic - I know about 5 people already with the dp and none have music playback issues of any sort.
[Droid Pro General] Jibreil:
Agree. The hardware and software is both from Motorola, it's just that since Verizon is selling it, Motorola modifies the OS according to their requirement and pre-including Verizon apps and settings.
[Droid Pro General] rotaterecords:
i second that the sd card is not the problem. i switched to a new card last night and formated it in ther DP. same FING crackling. LOVE the phone and want to keep it. do you guys think a software fix is in the works? is there an official place to file a complaint or report a bug?
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
There is no way that this is an acceptable work around. The software bug needs to be fixed along with a nice 2.3 update asap.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
And I know someone who tried several handsets and they all exhibit the same problem. Please spew the verizon cover up somewhere else.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
I work here for Virgin mobile and it depends how hard we push manufacturers to fix software bugs. The ball is clearly in Verizon's court with respect to when this problem will be fixed.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
Who knows... PS my music just skipped while typing this message.

This is a somewhat hacky way to change modems from your T-Mobile Tab so you can run 3G or Phone&2G when you need to. I'll make this into an Android app when I have time, for now this works just as well, just more steps to install.

Edit: Uploaded a new version which shows 2G or 3G in "Settings/About phone/Baseband"

Disculpa, pero donde es que tengo que pegar lo siguiente. (/sdcard/modemswitch/switch.sh /sdcard/gscript/

). aqui me perdi.

Gracias.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayman07:
Roto you are incredible!! Thank you man. This works perfectly. This is this first time in a really really long time that I am back on hspa. This is so handy. My home bandwidth is being used up for uploads and downloads right now and it makes using wifi unbearable. Now I can just switch over to hspa and use this in the mean time! Awesome work! An app would be epic tho this was really easy and straightforward. If only the reboot wasn't necessary lol but I can see y it is. How about hboot instead? Wouldn't it be quicker? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jyveafk:
Very neat. Gratz sir.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] partie:
Having a little problem... I get this error:

Also nothing in "Baseband"

I'm running P1000XXJM6

Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
Yep, typo on my part. I updated the file in the 1st post.

You can just copy the new switch.sh to /sdcard/gscript , then delete/add the script again in GScript.

Great job! One step closer... You get a gold star for today. Ha! Thanks.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] scottprotege:
thanks for this roto! i plan on checking it out. excuse my ignorance but im running a stock tmo tab and i dont even have access to a dialer to place calls so im guessing i need a euro firmware? im interested in the clockwork recovery as well but i noticed people said it only works with stock tab except i saw you are using tmo tab with JMA firmware and clockwork beta, is that right? and is this jma a euro firmware?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] risq:
JMA is a european unlocked firmware, yes.

Roto Sleeper Grip

For those of you bugged by the sleep mode not working in JM6/JMA, I think Im making some progress.

I found that after I switch modems my Tab wont sleep on its own, Heres how I fix it:

Boot the Tab, leave it on the lock screen, wait 2 minutes, grab the Tab firmly and then press the power button 4 times quick. After that it should go to sleep.

The "Roto Sleeper Grip" :cool:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zozodouce:
would this works on a euro tab using simple mobile 3G ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
No, unfortunately a Euro Tab doest have the hardware to do 3G on the Simple Mobile (T-Mobile) network.

Whats sad is we are moving toward a global society and you'd think the technology companies would grasp this and make hardware that would work globally.

I also got an error message saying, "stderr: /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua: not found

Also nothing in "Baseband"

I have P1000XXJK5 firmware. I downloaded the MOdemswitch.zip today, so it should have the updated files including 2g and 3G files. But, I still get the same error evertime. I tried uploading all 5 files into Gscript directory, but to no avail. Please advise.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maniac3389:
Looks good! I actually had to use redbend_ua to install a new modem on my AT&T Tab because for some reason Heimdall would flash the modems successfully, but the Baseband would still read the old modem. (Was on I9000UGJK3 and was trying to go back to stock AT&T and then T959TLJL3.) Ultimately I booted into recovery, pushed the root exploit and redbend_ua and flashed the modem over adb. (I just followed what the script in update.zip did for my Galaxy S)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Havoc1127:
Ok so i rooted my Tab, flashed JMA and installed the Modem switcher. it works great however When I'm in a 3g area and the switcher is on 3g my browser takes me directly to MY\t-mobile.com and does not let me browse the web. Did I miss something?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pt4audi:
Modem Switch installed successfully

Finally! I had to do it three times to make it work. Thanks ROTOhammer, I hope you will get the modemswitch app developed soon so that we all won't have to see the messed up screen while switching from 3G to 2G and vice versa.

Dude this is a thread for the modem switcher. Go post your question in the q&a section, please.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] efreese:
AT&T Sim in TMO Tab

What files will I need in order to use my Blackberry's AT&T sim in my TMO Tab? I'm assuming there are different modem files that I would need to replace in my switcher directory. Where would I find those files?

Are there others?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
You don't need the switcher with at&t plan on a t-mo tab. Flash the bell i9000modem, and you will have voice and data, but only at 2g/EDGE speed.

You will have to change your plan to android. Blackberry plans use the BIS-B network for email and messages.

You got some reading to do. You can have 3g data OR 2g and voice. Scan through this thread. There is a lot of info related to your question.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fahadz:
WHAT IS T-Mobile Modem Switcher ????
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] -RioT-:
This will switch between 3g and 2g. So you can have voice. Did you flash with a rom that has the phone feature?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fahadz:
yes see my last post i attach the pic i use rotohemar guaid phone feature work fine
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] craley1:
rotohammer, I have a question. This could just be some jackass (me) coming in at half-time thinking he can play the whole game:

Would it be possible to enable the voice/2G switcher when you open the phone.apk and then disable (or switch back to 3G) when you end the call or close the phone.apk?

Please keep in mind that I have no clue what is involved in coding these. Just a drunken thought that came to me.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jay_jay_n:
my question is about the modem switcher since i used it my speaker volume is extremely low and can't be increased, unsure why im the only other one encountering it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Bugman1:
I'm not trying to answer the question for Roto, but even if what you're suggesting would be possible the tab would still have to reboot before switching between modems.

The modem that we need is a modem that allows 3g data while voice capabilities are enabled. Right now it appears that such a modem (on the T-mobile tab) is going to be a real challenge.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] craley1:
Yeah, sorry. I sobered up, re-read the first post and realized that it required a reboot. D'oh! Stupid, delicious beer.

Roto,

I am running an american t-mobile SGT. I have overcome 2.0 kernel and 1.2.2 rom installed.

All I have to do is install this mod and I can make phone calls?

Or do I have to have a specific firmware?

Thanks Roto.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Yes sir. In the development section you will find a middle east rom. I know it has Arabic and I'm 90% sure Farsi.

Follow the steps to install the full version of Roto's rom, then reboot and make sure things are working (phone, data, camera, wifi), them flash the middle east rom. PM me if you get stock along the way.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
what modems will give voice and 2g data and what modems will give only 3g data? I have tried several Vibrant modems and I get no signal at all on any of them.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Correct - only one modem works for 3g, the original stock modem. It is available as ROTO-3g. Several vibrant modems work for 2g and voice, and you can try any to see which gives you the best reception in your region. But I would stick with the ROTO-2g because it is the only one that works with the gscript script.

To try other vibrant modems go to the vibrant development forum and find the modem thread. Use the 2.2 modems and flash with odin. You have to check your network settings each time.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] suprajztwenty:
it seems this problem is still being ignored...so i bold on you

stderr: unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/

redbend_ua: no such file or directory

current modem = YYYYYY

flashing files...

switching to phone/2g

stderr: /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua: not found

please someone help us out with this. ive read every page on this topic and found 3-5 people with the same problem. the only suggestion was to install busybox.

i used busybox installer from market, 1.7, didnt work. so i used the drop down and selected the 1.8 version and installed it...still, i get the same error.

i made the directory on the internal and external sd's to copy my redbend_ua file to both cards...still, same error.

i saw roto says it was a typo and he updated the .sh file, but no, i still get the error.

PLEEEAAASE dont ignore this post!

Wipe your Tab, reflash your ROM try using a stock ROM sobyou may use the .pit file to repartition, reroot and then start fresh
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] theANDROIDosX:
GR8ness has FINALLY arrived!! Jesus its been a while gr8, im hoping your goin to jump on this Tab and start blessing it with the Gr8ness! Your ROMs on my Glacier are the only things keepin me on it!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] theANDROIDosX:
Id also like you guys that modems for the i9000 as well as the nexus s both work for voice/2g
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
Thanks, I have actually been doing a little work messing with the modem problem. I tried some stuff with RIL today but nothing seemed to work. In fact, I couldn't get any signal at all if I flashed a different modem other than the two in ROTO's post. Not sure what I have done wrong.

The learning curve for Sammy is kinda steep from what I hear. Not sure at all how much if any time I can dedicate here, but when I do have some, I plan on doing some work here.

I was fully planning on updates for MT4G this week, but never managed it. New computer, lots of stress with school, getting married in April, just really busy right now.

Life Beckons! But anyway, if anyone who has worked on the modem wants to talk, I have some ideas.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] suprajztwenty:
it was just wiped a week ago or less. im going to stick to my overcome rom/kernel for now.

does anyone know what may cause this error, other than i need to start everything over again?

Supraz. . .if your not willing to wipe your device and reflash to attempt to fix things then i warn you now. . .your are in for a lot of problems now and in the future. . .do you think the devs test there mods and roms without a full wipe? Absolutely not!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Well good job! I know you will enjoy it. Roto wrote a good script and had a good idea. Hit his thanks button in the first post a few hundred times everyone!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
The error has to be in your directory structure. When I made my first one, I copied the folder to the directory using my laptop and ended up with /sdcard/modemswitch/modemswitch. If that is not your error it is something like that. I deleted my directory, then ran the gscript, and got the exact error you got.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Adapt0r:
Dear suprajztwenty

The error message indicated that the script cannot find file redbend_ua file in the directory /data/local/tmp/

This is because of an error in Roto's script. You can correct the script by changing

the line:

if [ ! -f /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua ]; then

to correct one:

if [ ! -f /sdcard/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua ]; then

Or you can copy file redbend_ua in the directory

/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua

using Root Explorer.

That should fix your problem.

It should be noted that if you have functional CWM recovery you can flash modem file using ROM manager which works on a top on CWM recovery.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] suprajztwenty:
ok that seemed somewhat helpful. the first error i got before it says "flashing files" is now gone.

but i still get the lower error. ive copied the "data" dir to the internal and external sd. now im attempting to copy it into the sys dir. im using astro and a new root explorer i found called super manager.

should i try to adb push it? my issue is i dont know what the root/sys dir is named to start using adb push command.

ill jack around flashing with cwm (its my preferred method anyways)

edit: cwm doesnt recognize the .bin modem files.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
CWM will only flash .zip files that are packaged roms, or themes in a zip format. That's why the script installs a local copy of redbend, because it can do the .bin files.

Quit screwing around with all that other stuff like astro, etc, and use Root Explorer to make the directory in the correct location, and copy the files.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Adapt0r:
@suprazjtwenty

You can fix it youself:

1. Check directory /data/local/tmp/ whether it contains file redbend_ua

2. Check permissions of this file if it exists, it should be allowed to execute

3. Check directory /sdcard/modemswitch/ whether it has files ROTO-3G_modem.bin and ROTO-2G_modem.bin

4. If these files not there copy using Root Explorer or Astro if it can get root permissions.

All your problems associated with mixed up file locations assuming that you have Superuser as well.

In regards to CWM, it does allows for flashing not only ROMs but modems and kernels. The key is to have proper package that should be zipped. Anyone can make such package following examples posted, for example, in Samsung Vibrant section.

I made a few myself and flashed various prepackaged Vibrant modems also. The same works for kernels and ROM, of course.

Benefits is that you don't need PC, but you need functional CWM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] suprajztwenty:
sorry, i was just being cheap using the other file managers, ill try the paid app and see if it lets me install the file to the main dir.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] suprajztwenty:
ahhhhh, it did something different... im finally getting somewhere. BUT, it did give me an error before it restarted.

tried again, it says failed to read from sdcard...something about bad file number on the 2g modem.

im starting to think this is hopeless.

now that i have root explorer is there any way i can bypass the switch.sh and just do this rewrite manually then restart?

edit, i also tried going to the redbend_ua file through root explorer. i long pressed and found 2 boxes under "write" setting were unchecked. still, made no difference.

should i try this script with a different modem and see what happens?

edit #2...successfully installed 2g modem using heimdall, playing with wireless settings now to attempt to get voice on my tab finally

edit 3. after verifying network settings matched my phone, i still get a man saying, the phone you are using cannot place outgoing calls.

but after installing my phone's sim card it seems to work fine.

Hey, how is tmobiles edge/2g speed, I tried my girls at at&t sim and there edge is almost unbearable -_-
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] fahadz:
brick my tab

hi rangercaptain i have 1 new issu another tmobile tab see my pic i flash with tmobile

stock firmware bcoz i have try many rom this tab and fainly i brick my tab
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
You would think EDGE is edge, but I noticed at&t edge would almost send me over, well, the edge!

The t-mo edge is pretty tolerable. I usually leave the tab in 2g, and switch to 3g only when I have a lot of surfing to do.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
Woot! Woot! Great news!

As for the latest error - are you using the Roto-2g and Roto-3g modems? No substitutions, right?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
"brick" means zero hope. Recharge that tab (use the wall charger, not usb+computer) for at least four hours, then try to go to download mode. PM me with your results - we don't want to drift the focus for this thread.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] suprajztwenty:
yes, i used the exact 2g modem

speaking of errors...its a completely different thread topic...but i tried flashing cm7 after the overcome rom and now im stuck at bootloader so the modem is the least of my worries right now

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Haze69:
Hey guys I hope u can help me, today my icon said G with the arrows instead of edge and the internet was dead slow. I know 3g and phone are not compatible so is that y it was so slow and is there anyway to disable that so it only stays on edge. I'm using stock modem btw..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
G is the lowest speed, below edge, and it barely supports any data. Nothing is wrong with your setup, you're just on a place with poor reception.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Haze69:
Oh that's weird though cause it happs in the city with full bars.. where I know they have 3g even 4g.. but egde at my house with 1 bar, oh well lol thanks for ur input uve been really helpful with my tab Ranger
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rangercaptain:
There are other modems - you could try a few until you get the one thats best for your area.
