Download the Samsung kies software and update it through there, safer IMO. Also set yourself up with Odin so you can restore to default from bricked by yourself. There are threads all over about it if you want to look into doing this.

It is not unheard of. The OTA bricked alot of devices mine included, ATT replaced it for free of course lol but if you would have done a quick search you would have found many threads where it did the same thing. To tell the truth I will never do an OTA update again. Too many many things to get botched. Gonna close this up.

Hey,

i really need your help.

I unbranded the wildfire of my girlfriend with the RUU BUZZ WWE 1.37

Before the flash, everything worked fine.

what can i do now?

do you think restoring the nandroid backup will help?

I have a Android pad running 2.1 and it has 2 x USB ports and a lousy audio out (3.5 Jack).

I was wondering if USB soundcards work on Android? I am under the impression it is plug&play in linux, and that android uses the same audio driver? (just not via USB).

Beeing able to use a USB soundcard with propper sound would greatly improve sound quality (I want to use my pad in my car) :/

USB audio in Android progress

Just for note, it works! I recently added self-compiled snd-usb-audio modules to allwinner based tablet. Found corresponding /dev/snd/* devices. Hard part is to add switch to USB audio to java, if there are no full alsa support in ROM. If alsa used, I need only edit /etc/asound.conf ;-)
[General Questions and Answers] PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn:
could you give some more details on how this was done?

USB OTG gets mouse/keyboard/mass storage working, but USB soundcard doesn't get sound through it (though the card is receiving power) and I cant see a way to check if it can see the device.

the USB soundcard I'm using was seen by my linux pc (kernel 3.0.0-15) straight away no drivers or config needed.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
I use either a C-Media $5 USB adaptor or a Lexicon Alpha 24 bit adaptor on my Nook Touch.

By bypassing the Android layer and going right to ALSA I can do 24 bit field recording.

If you specify a hardware device ("hw:0") in ALSA you can bypass any potential sample conversions.
[General Questions and Answers] chouck:
why you are sure that it is 24 bit coming out of Nook Touch tablet?

what ROM / kernel you are using?

where you specify a hardware device? this should be done editing config file or there is a menu items in settings interface?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
I'm sure that it's 24 bit because I can look at the file and see that all the bits are exercised.

Moreover, since the microphone only hits about -30dBFS, I have to crank the gain.

Compared to a 16 bit recording (which is effectively 11 bits when using 30 dB gain), the 24 bits (effectively 19 bits) sounds much better.

The Nook doesn't have any builtin audio, except for Dummy which is hw:0

My application uses hw:1

There's really no need to select the audio adapter because there is usually just the one.
[General Questions and Answers] chouck:
I am a bit confused.

can you explain step by step how to archive it on stock NOOK touch?

1)install custom ROM with kernel and USB host support?

2)install specific media player? which one do you use?

3)plug in USB DAC, player will use it as output by default so no hw:0 tweaking needed?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
The whole USB host mode on Nook Touch is covered here.

You will need a modified kernel.

The stock mediaplayer works but there is an unresolved bug that you need a little utility app to get over.

You need to put in an asound.conf
[General Questions and Answers] chouck:
So putting asound.conf from the thread you'd mention will solve it and it will be transparent output 24bit 96khz?

can I use other media player such as Astro or PoweAMP?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
The Android layer only supports 16 bits.

The MediaPlayer can not play 24 bit files.

To do anything 24 bit you need an external USB adaptor that supports it and an application that directly uses ALSA.

I believe that there are other 24 bit apps on the market.

24 bit is really only useful for recording when there is a large dynamic range.
[General Questions and Answers] chouck:
I think we are talking about different use-cases.

My question was on plugging external 24bit/96kHz capable DAC (not ADC) to Android device and playing high quality 16bit/44.1 and higher .flac files using one of android players through that external DAC.

As i understand you've done it at least for 16bit DAC? and even mentioned that there is a way to bypass Android layer to get up to24 bit transparently out to the DAC and can highlight the steps for Nook Thouch to archive it.

Can you share your experience, settings and apps you've used?
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Most USB adapters you will find are 16 bit.

To get 24 bit, you have to go to a "pro" interface, M-Audio, Lexicon, whatever.

ALSA supports 24 & 32 bits, but does not directly support MP3 or FLAC.

The Android layer supports MP3 (maybe FLAC?) playback, but not record.

You can get 24 bit playback just by using the ALSA utility aplay on PCM files only.

I do not know what there is on the market for 24 bit record/play.

You'd need an app with a JNI interface to the ALSA library.

I wrote a recording application for the Nook Touch that does that.

I cited it in the thread mentioned.
[General Questions and Answers] chouck:
Just got stock Nook Simple Touch. Can you guide what steps to do to let it play music to external DAC?
[General Questions and Answers] domynos:
external dac

I'm using an external DAC creative sb play sb1140 on my galaxy note 2 and works perfectly with mp3 and flac without anything just plug and play but with Asus xonar u7 it's not working, maybe u7 need more electricity. About quality of sound almost every music is 16bits/44.1khz, the CD audio has a 16bits/44.1khz just a DVD audio has 24bits that's very rare, so every mp3 file it's 16bits and you don't need a 24 bits DAC, in my opinion it's just marketing

Experiments after Froyo

I have the Motorola Flipside, and I actually like the phone (which I selected based on wanting a full hardware keyboard), but the MAJOR flaw is the VERY limited internal phone storage. If it wasn't for that flaw, I would have little interest in replacing the phone. As it is, I have struggled with keeping the phone useful for about a year and a half, but plan to replace it very soon. I actually even like SOME of the MotoBlur features, especially the way it consolidates all of my contacts, but I really only use it for that.

I updated to Froyo during Motorola's smoke testing. The update was welcome, but AT&T and Motorola both loaded EVEN MORE bloat which just exacerbated the space issue. So I have my own list of stuff that I have deleted, which includes the social MotoBlur stuff but keeps the account management and contact sync features.

I'll try to get back here within the next couple of days to list out exactly how I've got things configured. Many of the apps have been changed, consolidated, or dropped, so I'll provide a complete list based on the 2.2.2 update.

If youre rooted, try link2sd to save the limited spaced on the phone. I used it while I had this phone and never got memory full with over 60 apps.
[Flipside General] squ1rr3l:
link2sd and mb508

Yes, link2sd is great, I use and recommend it.

However, it is NOT sufficient to deal with the insanely limited space on the FlipSide. If you do a factory reset with the latest ROM (2.2.2), you will end up with something like 12MB of space. These days there are about 7 updates to the core applications, and you do not have enough space to load the updates.

To make space, you have to use the Link2SD feature of "convert system app to user app" so that it can be linked. But 12MB is not enough space for link2sd to convert any apps.

So load up Titanium backup, too, and delete some AT&T bloatware, then start converting system apps and linking them. This will be enough space for most people. My biggest problem is that I have about 1,500 contacts (I am an activist involved in politics). They take up about 40 MB of data space, and data cannot be linked to SD (really BAD design, IMHO). The only way I am able to make this phone useful is to remove about 90% of my contacts AND do the delete bloatware + link2sd stuff. The phone is functional at that point, but of course much less useful since I have to keep my contact list off-line. Even though I've got my most frequent contacts loaded, I often get phone calls or texts and don't even know who it is.

Doesn't always work. Mine will not give me the recovery access needed to install cm7 so that's not always an option. Plus most people want a fully functioning phone and not being able to use 3g and receive phone calls without rebooting or freezing is not, in my eyes anyway, fully functioning.

[Flipside General] bakageta:
Camera seems to work fine for me, the rebooting on call is an issue where you need to force 2G as it has problems with US 3G bands. I don't recall problems with the accelerometer, but to be honest I only use landscape with the keyboard open, which triggers the rotation just fine.

I've moved on to a Captivate Glide now, but I still have the Flipside running CM7 around for a backup and VoIP phone, I can dig it out and toy with it later to check the sensor for sure.

(edit)

Just checked, opened a browser and rotation via sensor worked perfectly. If you set ADW Launcher to persist in memory, it won't have the option to rotate based on sensor, so it's possible he thought the sensor wasn't working. I have no idea why, I assume it's a bug, but it's that way on any ADW afaik.

The massive contact list is why you have so little free space initially, I'd assume... A fresh flash of the latest .sbf had something like 60 MB free, iirc. It might actually be possible to manually symlink your contact database to the sd card, I've not tried it personally but a quick google seems to imply it's possible. Since you've got link2sd set up, it should be fairly straightforward.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tarwedge:
I've tried several different builds by several different devs, and within about 5-10 minutes of any boot my phone will stop waking up from standby properly.

I hit the power button and everything lights up like it's going to wake, including the backlight on the screen, but 9 times out of 10 it'll just hang like that. Sometimes if I leave it for a minute (literally 60 seconds minimum) it wakes up by itself but usually it just goes back to sleep. The only way to get back into the phone is to pull the battery and go back to winmo.

It's really irritating because I loved my G1, and having Android on my HD2 would make it a serious contender for the best phone I've ever owned.

Has anyone else had anything like this? If it matters my current ROM is the latest build of Energy ROM and my radio is 2.12.50.02_2, I've tried other radios and they don't seem to make any difference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Life Engineer:
Ok i will try to help you as much as i can!

First format you SDcard from withing windows mobile.

Update your radio to 2.15.50; it works better for me (http://www.mediafire.com/?b1je19xg58r06s9)

Install some of MDJ builds, they are fast at wake up!

Finally do not rush the system by pushing the power button many times; only once, and if you feel that it's not waking up keep pressing it like if you will shut it down, sometimes this trick worked for me and let it take some time to wake (usually up to 10 or 15 sec not more)

Good luck
