Hi All,

I've taken a look around and can't seem to find anything relating to this so I'm gona ask.

I've just got my DHD and love it but I have never used Android before so it's taking some getting used to. ( I'll get there I'm sure )

My question is I have an MP3 file I'd like to use for my notifications ( comes from my HTC Touch HD ) but for the life of me I can't seem to put it in the media folder that the DHD uses. I can find it using the ES file search thing but it won't let me copy in to it?

Do I need to get admin rights? Rooting or whatever its called?

Sorry if it's a daft question. but its annoying the bejesus outa me.

Thanks in advance

JD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd993:
I think you have got to place the mp3 in a folder on the root of your sdcard called "notifications".

Hope that works!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadeddave:
Hi CD993,

Thanks for the reply but..

I can't find any folders on the sdcard other than the ones i've made from having it in my Touch HD.

I can however find the Notifications folder in audio on the phones memory. This has all the MP3's that the phone uses. But still I can't paste to it. Just says copy failed.

I'm just wondering if I need to "jailbreak it" or root....something something to be able to add to the root folders.:confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magpiemale:
put your phone in settings,connect to pc,select disc drive now your computer willl see your sdcard as a drive look at your my computer and either go into my mobile at the bottom or go into the sdcard on my computer it comes up as Idrive as copy your mp3 file into your mobile here disconnect your mobile and search for it in your mp3 files through your media music app.you may have to reboot your mobile once disconnected from the computer so the file gets noticed.

if this is not what your looking for then sorry but I dunno.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadeddave:
Hi Magpie,

Thanks but no.

I already have the MP3 on the sdcard but I can't seem to copy it to the system/media/audio/notifications. This is where the phone reads the sounds that it plays when you receive email/txt etc.

Maybe I should just flash a new ROM :D although this appears harder than it is with the touch HD on winmo lol

Thanks for the reply anyways

JD

Edit:

I've since managed to Root the phone "give me root admin rights" but still am unable to copy files to the phones root folders.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd993:
Im sure you just put the mp3's in a folder on your sdcard called notifications e.g. sdcard/notifications/ringtone.mp3
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadeddave:
Hi CD993,

Maybe there is a problem with my sdcard? I don't have such a folder on it. I have a music folder data folders google folders I've looked through them all and can't find a notifications folder on the sdcard?

Should the DHD be using the sdcard as its main source for audio etc?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
SdCard/Sounds/Notifications

SdCard/Sounds/Alarms

SdCard/Sounds/Ringtones

SdCard/Sounds/UI

Make the folders as you need them. Then you will be able to find them in the Sounds tab in the menu.

If you have root access you should be able to write them to the main memory using a program like Root Explorer. You can find system sounds in /System/Media/Audio.

Hi Kalavere,

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
Flashing Android ROMs is so much easier than WM. It's getting the root that is the *****. It took me ages to work out how to install the ADB drivers when I first got my Desire. :eek:

Flashing ROM's just replaces two folders, so if you are updating from one AOSP ROM to another, maybe even Sense I don't know I don't use it, generally speaking you don't need to wipe the phone and you keep all of your apps.

Hi Kal,

Yes as far as I'm aware I have root perms. i used VISIOnary? and followed a thread on here When I open cmd promt or whatever its called on linux and type su it gives me the # which apparantly means i have rooted it?

Yet I was unable to copy to that folder on the phones main memory.

That ADB driver I'm afraid i've not even looked into it yet all I know is my win 7 failed to install it when I plugged the phone in for the first time.

I've gotten as far as using titanium back up for apps etc. Just need to do some more research I guess I'm new to android :)

anyway thanks for all your help people. i'm sure i'll have more questions in the appropriate threads as time goes by. Thanks all

Personal Audio Files for Yahoo! Mail

Everything you all have said works, if I put something in mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications I am able to then see the files under the Sounds Setting.

My issue is needing Yahoo Mail to see the notification. For that I need to copy the files to /system/media/audio/notification and for that I am not able to change the permissions. I have tried ES File Explorer and I am not even able to move up from sdcard. I have also tried total commander and I get "Error writing to target file! /system/media/audio/notifications/yahoo.mp3

Can someone please help. I really like the Yahoo! application.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willardspivens:
Setting Yahoo Notification

Root explorer will allow you to change the directory from Read Only to Read Write. It can be purchased from Play (Market) or acquired by other means as I did.

Copy the file to /system/media/audio/notification using root explorer.

Reboot.

Tada...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fablife:
Hi All,

I am experiencing an issue which I cannot seem to find a solution to..

I purchased my i9000 in August and it has been working fine since them (no sd issues, gps sucks though). I had no lag fixes and device was not rooted.

I upgraded using the official Bell release to froyo last week. couple days ago I shut my phone off via the power button. When I tried to turn it back on, it would not turn on. It displayed the empty battery icon even though the battery was fully charged.

I tried connecting to Kies and my computer would not detect it

Finally as a last attempt, I plugged the phone into the wall charger and hit the power button and my phone turned on.

So long story short, since the froyo update for some reason my phone is not detecting the charge of the battery when it is turned off and therefore cannot be turned on without being plugged into a power source i.e wall charger, computer etc.

I tried multiple batteries and had the same outcome.

Has this happened to anyone else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amro90:
Have you tried reflashing? You could use Kies Registry Patcher to make Kies think that you have an earlier software version, and make it flash the newest software again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fablife:
I have not tried the kies patch - but I did do multiple hard resets (i.e. volume up + home + power button).

The phone starts up - but only if it is plugged into a powersource - not on its own. Once its plugged into a powersource and boots up - its fine.

this is really weird.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amro90:
Something could've gone wrong with the software when you updated to froyo. Try to reflash it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fablife:

I recently upgraded my wireless router and now my Epic doesn't seem to be able to get data through wifi. I got an inexpensive 802.11n router to take advantage of the Epic's 802.11n capability. It was working fine with my 802.11g router with the same security and network settings. I even tried assigning it a static ip address on the network to make sure it wasn't an ip address conflict.

The browser just hangs and gives me an error page. All of my other devices (laptops, PS3) work fine. Can anyone help me?

Unfamiliar with router

Hey.

I am not familir with the router but there should be some way to confirm connectivity.

Dl terminal from the market and ping the router internal ip. If successful, ping google and router external ip. This should help. If ip's succeed and google fails, get the ip for google and try that to ensure dns is working right.

Hope this helps

I have a Netgear N Rrouter. My Epic would find the signal take the WPA password and then, dissconnect. I tried deleting WPA and it connects....still a problem with downloading almost anything/ Sprint has replaced my phone twice as they have no idea why...even advance tech. I'm on my third and still no wifi at home.
[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
Good point. If you drop security does it work? Also is n stil draft version? If so you could be dealing with cross vendor implementation compatibily.
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
Are you sure you got the SMCWBR14S-N4 router? According to the page you linked to, that router is not Wi-Fi 802.11n certified. Notice the page only shows the 802.11b/g Wi-Fi logo.

I notice the SMCWBR14S-N3 router at http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewProduct&localeCode=EN_USA&cid=5&scid=118&pid=1693 is 802.11n certified and shows the Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n logo.

BTW, all Wi-Fi 802.11n draft equipment was automatically certified as Wi-Fi 802.11n final. There should not be compatibility issues with 802.11n Draft if it is Wi-Fi certified.

There was some older equipment sold before the certification program that could cause issues, though.

Yes, I work supporting Wi-Fi equipment for my employer.
[Epic 4G General] dewey1973:
Yes, I'm sure it is the N4. What does it mean that it is not certified?
[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
So it seems like you are narrowing the foc,us of your issue. The guy who reported about the lack of cert may be onto something. I use wpa2 on my g router all the time.
[Epic 4G General] Beezer80:
Does the new router use the same name as the old one? Try removing the access point then adding it back. Or just change the name of the new access point.
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
Here may be your issue. Notice this line:

I notice you are using WPA2 & TKIP. TKIP is not supported for 802.11n & the Wi-Fi alliance will deny certification of a vendor supports this.

According to a wireless network expert at http://airheads.arubanetworks.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?p=467 there was initially some confusion about TKIP support for 802.11n. He states that a router cannot support TKIP for 802.11n & be certified.

TKIP was initially developed for WPA since is was more secure than WEP and did not require the new hardware for AES. WPA2-TKIP was to allow a business to migrate from WPA-TKIP to WPA2-AES.

It appears that you may need to set your router to WPA2-AES only (no TKIP). I would have your phone "forget" the SSID & start again after the router has been reconfigured. It would not hurt to reboot the router & verify the new settings too.

Sorry I forgot this detail when I replied earlier.

Certification provides a baseline for compatibility across vendors. Any certified devices should work together without major problems.
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
I expect you may have been connecting, but not ao 802.11n speeds. After looking further, I noticed this in your logs:

MCWBR14S-N4 user.err syslog: ERRO: MC-Router API already in use; Errno(125): Address already in use

Perhaps your phone was trying to use an ip address that was already used by another device on the network.

I noticed it got information for two DNS servers (68.87.85.102 & 68.87.69.150) so it likely got *some* information from the router.

What?

This theme contains lots of blue(ish) icons/images.

These are the apks that are affected:

\framework\framework-res.apk

\system\Settings.apk

\system\Vending.apk

-Whats changed?

99% of the framework is blue, lots of transparency in the icons, sliders, notification pulldown

-From where?

I've kanged blue bits and pieces from ROMS and other themes and I wish to credit everyone but there are too many. If you created any of these bits please PM me and I'll add you to the credits

How?

To install this you can

a) flash the update.zip from recovery with signature verify turned off.

b) update your ROM apks manually using the latest files from the SVN repo (I recommend 7zip) and then put them in your ROM/update .zip. flash as in (a)

Which (ROM)?

CM6.1.1, nightlies (tested up to 295 12/24/2010)

Why?

-Why not a morph ?

With the number of files I expect a lot of failed morphs neccessitating a nandroid restore. (it started off as a morph)

-Why release this now?

With GingerBread around the corner I might as well do it now, and create a new project for 2.3.

6.1.1 seems to be the last of the Froyo releases so it will be easier to maintain.

Credits?

- the amazing devs at xda

- castaway1 for the battery icons

- Rori for the lock screen cyan buttons, compact notification drop-down, cyan progressbar

known issue. supercurio pointed towards a modified fat.format as causing this to happen when running a non-stock rom, as i believe he used the purely stock kernel, and most of us are running modified kernels and roms. not a biggie, just can't disable it, to go back to rfs or flash another rom, you have to odin using the froyo that does not brick method.

Odin without disable is fine

I had this same issue. I was able to Odin to eugene's froyo that doesn't brick and then move on to other roms from there. The process was easy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
Odin without disabling voodoo will not brick the phone, if you search for, follow, and use the Froyo That Does Not brick method, that fixes bricks, and will bring you back to stock with rfs.

not sure if pushing the stock fat.format would do it, or cause issues with the rom you're on. thats above my pay grade here. i don't think there is any way to truly remove the voodoo'd partitions and convert them back to rfs, besides the disable method that doesn't work on custom roms, or using odin.

i do think if the voodoo kernel were written into the rom, it may work, but thats just a theory, and i'm no chef.

supercurio did put out the source he used for the voodoo kernel, and i believe also has posted an injection method to inject voodoo into other kernels, however again, above my pay grade (and current knowledge level to actually make it happen)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimphishmonger:
What is strange is Im using Morific's i9000-based Voodoo kernel, which is made for TW's Nero and I ran into this issue. Guess im stuck on Voodoo for a bit. If anyone would be nice enough to upload a stock fat.format from a JK6\JL1 build, that would be much appreciated (and Ill be able to attempt that idea of pushing a stock fat.format, and attempting to convert back to RFS).

morific's kernel, was that built from the voodoo 5 beta or the newly released voodoo stable?

again the thought of writing it into a rom was mere speculation on my part. very interesting, i am curious to hear your results of pushing a stock fat.format and attempting a disable, please post your results if you're able to get and push the file.

thanks for the heads up, one step that doesn't have to be stepped, i guess old practices die hard.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimphishmonger:
Okay, fixed it, and I wanted to share w/ everyone else so you can benefit from my PITA.

Voodoo does not like the (or cannot find) fat.format from custom ROMs (like Nero, Macnut, etc). The conversion to EXT4 is fine, but when it comes time to convert back to RFS for whatever reason, it errors out (if you enable debug and look at the log). Ive had suggestions of using ODIN, but I knew there had to be an easier way. Supercurio mentioned that a stock fat.format should fix the issue, and magically it did :-)

pushed a stock fat.format to my /system/bin/, attempted a conversion back to RFS and magic! It worked.

Instructions

Unzip attached file (only for the NON-flashable version, attached to this post)

Push to /system/bin or copy\paste using Root Manager or SUFBS

Attempt conversion back to RFS
