[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1gh7mar3:
I bought on of the fancy desktop docks for my samsung vibrant... after reading the simple instructions on how it works yada yada... it simply says that the audio output on the dock will not work until they release a 2.2 rom... so what im wondering is why i cant for the life of me see any settings to switch it on in my jk6 rom or have they just not gotten around to implementing audio through the usb yet? and does anyone know if there is a mod to get it to work?

Nobodys had an issue like this yet?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midgen:
I just received the official car and desk docks today (ordered from Samsung mobile accessories page).

I'm running FROYO.UVJK2 (Kernel 2.6.32.9).

When I put the phone in the car dock, a "Car Mode Activated" icon (looks like a steering wheel) shows up in the task bar. The 3.5mm audio jack on the back of the dock does not output audio (Bluetooth Audio works fine). Also, the "Car Home" app does not launch like I would have hoped (I downloaded this from the Market as it was not installed with this build).

The desk dock does even less than that. When I put the phone in the desk dock, there is no indication that its docked at all. The charging port does work, but like the car dock, the 3.5mm jack does nothing (apparently).

There was a small red sticker on the back of the car dock that said that the 3.5 mm "headphone jack" would only work with Android 2.2 and later.

I'm hoping to have the same experience I had with my Nexus 1 in the Google Car/Desk docks (automatically go into car/desk mode and audio ports become active).

I'll keep digging around and see if I can figure out whats going on .

Edits:

I should also add that I'm currently running LauncherPro with this build

Also, Perhaps this thread would get more interest if it was in the Accessories section?

Updated to jl5 and then to nero³ issues still exsist... why sell a product that doesnt work properly because of the lack of software support from your company.... and how does it know its a car dock as opposed to a normal charger?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midgen:
With the car dock, the phone is definitely detecting the dock when it's connected. The "Car Mode" icon (Steering Wheel) appears on the notification bar. However, the Samsung "Car Home" app does not automatically launch.

The Desk Dock appears to be nothing more than a charging cradle. With the build I'm using now, the phone doesn't change modes in any discernable way, and when the phone is docked, and the dock is connected to the computer, it doesn't detect the device (although it does charge). I have to take the phone out of the cradle and connect the cable directly to get get a connection (Odin/Kies, etc...).

As far as getting the phone to go into 'Car Home' or "Desk Home", I found an app called "Locale" in the marketplace that shows a lot of promise for being able to have the phone change state based on various conditions (location, connections, orientation, app state,etc....). I have it working successfully using the car dock to have it launch Car Home (or whatever app you want). Unfortuantely, I'm not having the same luck with "Desk Home".

Locale is really amazing, but it is pricey ($9.99 US), and a lot of the functionality depends on user provided plugins (there are plenty.. some free, some about $1 US).

Back to the hardware. I'm happy with it generally, but frustrated that the audio jacks don't work. I can work around this in the car, as I can sync to my car stereo with bluetooth, but I would prefer to use the 3.5mm jack for many reasons.

I was going to try the Nero v.3 ROM today (still may) to see if that worked, but someone posted here that it wasn't working.

I'm wondering if this the dock support is something that has to be built into the ROM? Or is it part of the core? I'm guessing the latter.

It will be my luck that this will start working right about the time I order my Optimus X2 when it comes out :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darfus:
I'm using the dock with an international i9000 with firmware XXJPY and the standard media player does actually put out sound through the dock. My problem is I use spotify for my music which doesn't happen to do the same thing. Would there be anyway to force it to play through the usb audio out?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizius:
I use the dock with an unbranded, unlocked international GT-I9000. Could not get the Home Desk app to work, it would always crash with or without the dock (ver 1.0.1 available from mediafire.com - can't post the link since I'm a "new user" :(). Then somebody passed on to me directly rev 1.0 of that app (can't find it anywhere on the net) and it all started to work. First I was on froyo 2.2 (XXJPA) and now I'm on froyo 2.2.1 (XXJPY) meaning:

- Home Desk app automatically kicks in when the phone is inserted into the dock

- Music does pass on to the dock audio jack but first must un-select the "Internal Speaker" option in the Home Desk app

- Works with the stock GT-I9000 player which is accessed via the Home Desk app Music icon (that icon appears to be hard wired to the stock player)

- Works with a third party player (I use PowerAMP) which can not be accessed via the Home Desk app Music icon - but there is a limitation

The limitation I see is that since the 3rd party player can not be invoked or accessed via the Home Desk app Music icon, one must exit the Home Desk app to get to the music controls (like volume since the hard buttons are covered by the dock!!!) - and during that time the sound cuts off from the external audio jack :mad:. The sound returns once the Home Desk app is invoked again (with the Android Home button). But when the Home Desk app Music icon is used to get to the stock player the sound does not cut off. Sounds like the Home Desk app has the sound integration via USB and so when it is not active the music cuts off. Unfortunately I know of no option that would redirect that icon to an alternate player. Maybe somebody can figure that out?

BTW – UI of the Home Desk app that I use (rev 1.0) looks different than UIs posted by others :confused:. See the attachments.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
the fix is here for the desk/car dock!!

So I have been waiting for this moment for months sense I purchased my Samsung desk dock and car dock...

For all that are wondering go to the market and seach for samsung car home and / or samsung desk home.

When you do you will see that there are now two apps that will appear for each app that will look the same.

tap on them and read the discription. one of the apps will say that it is Froyo compatible to fix audio.

download them, when you click on the app to open it> select the samsung car home not the google car home that so many of us Nero/Bionix users love ;(

when that opens you will see that there is now a icon on the top right part of the screen that has a picture of a speaker. Tap the icon and it will switch to the docks 3.5mm out put!

P.S. if you listen to other music players aside from the music saved on the phone ie. (pandora) start the car home app or desk home app and hit the home button go to apps and open the app you want to listen to. Wish they had allowed us to add apps to the apps home screen but this work around will do the trick until someone incorparates it into google car home..

If this helped you please hit the thanks button! and enjoy! :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizius:
@lovemysgs - I don't see anything for Samsung Home/Car Desk in the market :confused:. Is it because my GT-I900 is unbranded?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
What ROM are you using? I know that sometimes when I have flashed other ROMS the Dev has not or forgets to update market.

I am using Bionix V and it showed up there today.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizius:
Hm, I'm new to Android so be gentle. I did not do anything to the phone other than flash it to 2.2.1 via Kies. In About Phone it says:

Model: GT-I9000

Firmware: 2.2.1

Baseband: I9000XXJPY

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 root@SEP-51 #1

Build: FROYO.XXJPY

Does it work for calls?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theutz:
Seems not working for calls ( no 3.5 jack output when the phone it's conected to dock) :( any ideas ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizius:
The dock has a 3.5 jack on the back. Sound is piped to it via phone's USB but only if the Home Desk app is running with the "Internal Speaker" option deselected (must have froyo as well). I don't think however that this works for phone functions, I think that it only works for music.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stargazer3777:
Just got my official one today, sitting at my desk trying it out. After a little saying "please" (and removing the Google Car Home that I loved), I got it to work, and gmail notifications are coming through the 3.5 mm on the dock.

I went into the market and downloaded the "Car Home Samsung Vibrant 2" (I could not see it in my phone market, so I went to the web market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.samsung.tmo.carhome1&feature=search_result )

This app has the speaker button on it, along with a brightness button,and an exit button.

When I turned off the internal speaker, the notifications seemed to work on mine (Bionix-v 1.3.1 with OverStock)

Hope that helps!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohnoezmahfone:
It's not elegant, but I just cut away that corner of the dock to make room for the audio plug, and that worked great for me. Instructions here:

[Desire HD General] leon100:
Hi.

I have setup HTC Sync to sync a folder over to my DHD. However I found syncing files to be a bit quirky.

Docs created on the device are not synced to the PC, only the other way round.

Docs deleted on the device are not deleted on the PC, only the other way round. The doc that remains on the PC needs to be modified in order to sync back to the device - seems there is some sort of cache.

Is the above a bug of HTC Sync and is happening to other persons? Is to possible to get file synching as one would expect it to be, i.e. as I was accustomed through Activesync and Windows Mobile 6.5?

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] leon100:
Bump...any feedback?
[Desire HD General] leon100:
Is it possible that I am the only one to experience this issue? Any feedback from other users and possibly also help?
[Desire HD General] leon100:
I'm beginning to think that I am the only one to use and experience this.

OK, perhaps it's not a high priority but nevertheless quite an annoyance considering the thing worked perfectly for years in Windows Mobile and Activesync.
[Desire HD General] sengork:
I'd advise you to try MyPhoneExplorer.
[Desire HD General] leon100:
Thanks. I'll check that out. Do you know if MyPhoneExplorer offers two-way sync with the DHD?

Back to my original problem I have since received feedback from HTC Support. They are claiming that HTC Sync offers a choice on the sync direction, either to the PC or to the DHD. I was not offered this choice when I installed HTC Sync on the PC and neither when connecting the DHD to the PC for the first time. To be sure of this I installed HTC Sync on a second PC and connected the DHD to this second PC. Again, no choice was ever offered.

I have written back asking for proof of this sync choice offer and will post back here any feedback received. In any case I have told HTC Support that if indeed HTC Sync only offeres one-way sync then it is indeed only a half-baked solution.
[Desire HD General] gregf:
I got the same problem.

Did you ever find a solution besides MyPhoneExplorer?
[Desire HD General] leon100:
I'm still corresponding, sort of, with HTC. My support request was routed to HTC Italy who asked me to rewrite the request in Italian. Fortunately that was not a problem for me.

Since then there has been much to-and-fro between me and HTC with them asking me to do things that had nothing whatsoever to do with my problem. As an example they kept asking me questions as to the version of Outlook I have even though I am not syncing any contacts or calendar. They even asked me to if my problem was if I could not install HTC Sync, and another time said that one-way sync is all that HTC Sync was and during installation of the latter on the PC one is asked in which direction should the one-way sync work. All this is quite a load.

In my last communucation a couple of days ago I asked them for a clear explanation and solution, failing which I will escalae the matter through other HTC channels.

EDIT: I have not installed or tried to use MyPhoneExplorer. I expect the matter to be resolved by HTC and MyPhoneExplorer is only a last resort.
[Desire HD General] gregf:
Thanks Leon.

It looks like they giving you the run around.

Keep me posted if you come right.

I will let you know if I find a solution.

thanks again
[Desire HD General] dvhttn:
That's all well and good but in the meantime MPE is free and works ..... :cool:

[Desire HD General] leon100:
Yes, but then still no reason for HTC to look the other way and hope the problem, or I, disappear.
[Fascinate General] yuhang:
I am fully rooted and have been working with the phone for a while but it says I have an update and I am certain it is not the DJ05 rather the DI01. My question is, is it safe to update to the DI01? Is there something that I should prepare for or worse will I lose root? Thank you in advance.
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
So, you say that Dj05 ROM sees DI01 update available?
[Fascinate General] soba49:
I think you can generally hope that you can always get back to root via stock odin/heimdall pathways. Unless an ota update screws with download mode (never heard of this happening), you have that option. Someone correct me if I am wrong here!

Most rom updates explicitly disable OTA updates. If there were one from big Red, you could expect to see it here in very short order, installable in a root safe way.

This is actually a pretty common question. If you are really convinced that you have a patch available to you that no one has seen before, it probably will (at best) fail unless you go back completely to stock first.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
[Fascinate General] scriz:
I'm on DJ05 and see no update, although when using the Odin files to go back to DI01, my phone read that it was on DH12 and prompted me to update to DI01.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
Also pretty common. The standard odin restore had an issue where part of it was pre first ota update and part was not. However, not an issue for most of is because it is still "stock" enough to get the custom roms of choice back on safely.

If you need to be truly stock di01, you may be able to grab that modem on irc. The other option is adrynalyne's all inclusive odin. Best guesses though, I haven't been or wanted stock for a couple of months.

If you need stock dh12, I have never actually seen it except for week one on my phone. Not saying it isn't easy to do, just don't have instructions.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

Today I decided to update my Aria AT&T to Froyo, however i have some questions prior doing this:

1. How can I back-up all my data that I have on my phone?

2. Can I fully de-brand my Aria AT&T phone? How? Link?

3. If I debrand it, will I be able to use updates directly from HTC for "naturally" debranded arias?

4. Which Froyo works best? Is there an 100% working one?

I understand that search button is my friend, but unfortunately it is very difficult for me to follow all the info found on this website, especially when english is not my mother language. Please excuse my newbeeness
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
1. Once you have rooted your Aria, boot into ClockworkMod and perform a full 'nandroid' backup of your current rooted system. You can use this as a restore point in your ROM flashing adventures. But as far as retaining your current data when you flash a new ROM you are more than likely going to have to reinstall all your apps on the new ROM. For your contents, you can sync them to your Google account and when you load a new ROM and enter your Google account during setup you can resync your contacts.

2. The Liberated Series of ROM are HTC Sense ROMs with all of the AT&T bloat ware removed. You can get either the Eclair 2.1 version (Liberated R012) or the Froyo 2.2 version (Liberated FR008).

3. As long as you have a rooted phone, there really isn't any advantage to getting an official HTC OTA update. In fact, chances are when you take an OTA update from HTC, you will lose root. Best advice is to wait a few hours and let the devs come out with a rooted, flashable version of the HTC update to preserve your rooted environment.

4. Personally I prefer CyanogenMod 6.1.1 for my Froyo ROM of choice. I have also tried Liberated FR008 and it retains the HTC Sense interface. Best advice is to try them and see which one you like best.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
Let me sympathze with you... i have been there.

So let me try to explain a little and there are some videos to help

The first thing you will probably want to do is 'root' your phone - by doing this you are invalidating your warrenty - but heck - who cares - what you want is a phone that runs the latest OS right and provides you all the goodies that ATT keeps you from......

Check out these links

http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-root-the-htc-aria-unrevoked-method/

and

http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-aria/

they might help

ClockworkMod is what most people use , it provides you the ability to

perform a back up (nandroid) as well as

install Custom MODs (the reason you are here isnt it?)

I would suspect you would want the latest MODs - to do you should look to the forums - as they change every so often.

The good thing is - with the MODs and ClockworkMod - changing these ROMs are fairly simple. Just download the ROM (zip) , copy it to your SD card on the phone (use USB) - then boot your phone (turn off , ON in a special way :) ) into Clockwork MOD, Wipe the Caches, install from SD (find the ROM you put on there)

bingo - new Mod.

If you like the HTC Sense flavor - then currently - you will probably want:

If you dont need or want HTC Sense and want something different - try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821642

(dont forget the google addons too)

They are both excellent ROMs - and would recommend you try both at sometime and decide yourself - and yes - they are both very stable.

As for the HTC Over The Air version - I wouldnt install it - period.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kaschenberg:
We seriously need someone to devote a sticky thread for all of this.. Like a ROM Bible if you will.. It would help out tremendously.

Edit:

Looks like Notatreofan has one, but it needs severely updated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] fealloy:
Thank you guys for your responses.

I managed to root my Aria and CM6-6.1.1-Liberty works fine.

However, when I install Liberated Aria Froyo Series FR008 I get the following message on my start up screen:

"Sorry! The application settings (process com.android. settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." "Force close"

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
When you switch between CM 6 and Liberated ROM you need to make sure that you do a "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" before you flash the ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 911jason:
Also make sure that when you boot into clockwork your phone is NOT connected to your computer. Having USB connected when starting up clockwork makes funny things happen... well actually, not so funny. =)
[HTC Aria Android Development] fealloy:
Well, I was only doing "wipe data/factory reset", i guess this is the problem. Now i ll have to clear some data to try it again, only 52mb left from the sd...

Now it is time to do a search for a nice theme, and get the radio working. In regards to the radio, I downloaded some apps however they all work with the web, not the transmitter
[HTC Aria Android Development] fealloy:
I followed both advices but still no luck, the Liberated Aria Froyo is still not working :(

When I turn on the device and immediately after I unlock the screen, I get the following message:

Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Any more guesses? :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Have you downloaded a new copy of the Liberated FR008 and tried flashing that? It sounds like either the ROM zip file is corrupt when you flash it onto the phone or the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache is not working correctly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] fealloy:
I am redownloading right now, hoping that it will work.

And another thing, how do I install the "FR008 Default"? Same method like the

ROMs without wiping?

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] fealloy:
New download didn't work either, same message appeared after flashing it. Gutted :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Here is the link that you should be downloading and flashing:

http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/liberated_aria_FR008_signed.zip

The "FR008 Default" is a kernel option that is already included in the ROM link above, so you don't need to worry about it. The only reason you would need to flash it is if you decided to try the Hong Kong Shipping 2.2 kernel and then wanted to switch back to the FR008 Default. You are correct in that you would flash these from ClockworkMod by using the Install ZIP from SD Card option.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
OK, so let's assume that you have a good ROM flash at this point and it could be data corruption. I would boot into ClockworkMod and do another 1) "wipe data/factory reset", 2) "wipe cache partition" and 3) Advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and then reboot the phone and see if that solves your issue.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RedmanOPG:
I have tried at different times, since all the files are zipped using one format or another they have to be extracted before use. Everytime I try to uzip them on the phone I get the message "Not enough available memory to complete". Just my experience ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
The HD2 has easy enough RAM to extract a 1-300MB file.

Just install Pocket RAR, download the Android package via your browser and extract. If you're having problems it could be down to having too many programs running in background or your current rom doesn't support the full amount of RAM that the HD2 actually has.

Try installing CleanRAM do a full clean on high level and see if you can extract then.
