[Nook Color Android Development] BertoJG:
I am the person who added this information to the Wiki and I did it specifically for the Nookie Froyo build, which is why it includes the Mms.apk.

I could care less one way or the other who uses it or for what purpose, I am just glad that we can use it on our devices using the stock software as well as the Froyo build.

It is perfectly reasonable to expect that more than one person could come to the same conclusion about the impact of removing these services, so please ease up on mrodlies and lets get on with life.. :-)

In addition, this "trick" has been documented several times in threads for different tablet devices without cell based services....

Has anyone else noticed the in call volume being very loud even when on the lowest setting. Mine is super high, any suggestions to resolve?
[Nexus S General] ejacsve:
Yes, I'm having the same problem. But it don't seems to be a problem every time. Neither seems it to be connected to specific callee's. Sometimes the volume is totaly normal, and sometimes it feels like speaker mode...
[Nexus S General] eevans23:
Mine is everytime though, it really is too loud even on the lowest setting.
[Nexus S General] carlitos66:
You are lucky, actually. I have exactly opposite problem. My volume of calls is so low that I cant her the other callers. This is very serious issue for me and I am thinking about returning the phone. I am searching the net for some service codes that would allow me to raise the internal volume. Do you have 2.3.1?

Visual Voice Mail volume

Why is my visual voice mail so hard to hear with the speaker on?
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Turn the volume up?
[Nexus S General] JOHNGAETANO:
Did that
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
T-Mobile's or Google Voice? I have no problems with Google Voice and make sure it's set to come out of the speaker. I haven't used T-Mobile's in a long time.

[Q] volume & screen

After climbing (for me) a steep learning curve I am very happy with my NS. But as with anything, there are different levels of happiness. I still have two issues that sort of bug me.

1. Volume - It seems that I must accidentally hit it a lot, and at times find it turned all the way down.

2. Screen - It's amazing inside, but when I go outside in this Florida Sun (even in the winter) I not only can't read the screen, I can't find the buttons on the handset.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] neok44:
always good to see another florida person.

Can't say anything about the first since i don't own the device yet, a case may help though since my dad has a vibrant and he used to hit them, but after getting a silicone case he dosn't do it anymore.

As far as the seeing the screen goes, depending on your brightness setting the screen may be washed out. I normally keep my nexus one at about 40% brightness, but if i'm going to be outside for a day, or when i'm at the themeparks in orlando, i turn on the auto brightness, that usually brings it up to 100% in the sunlight which makes it readable.

Normally switching the brightness involves going through the settings, but there are many applications that give you a quick switch, i personally use the mysettings app that i have on my main screen so it's only two clicks to get to auto.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The screen is very viewable in the sunny Southern California sunlight, but no modern large screen smartphone like these are going to be great outdoors; at least the NS is usable (unlike the N1).

I concur with the other response that setting the screen brightness to max is obviously the best way to tackle this.

There's a very easy way, just install the Power Control Widget that comes pre-loaded on the phone. It gives you a bar with 5 icons on it for wifi, bluetooth, gps, google sync, and screen brightness.

The screen brightness icon lets you tap it for 4 different settings (minimum, about half max, maximum brightness and automatic). As mentioned above, with max brightness, the phone is very usable, for me in sunlight. At least as usable as my iPhone 4 and older iPhones.

Very handy, and also great for quickly turning off wifi and BT to save juice when not using them.
[Nexus S General] neok44:
forgot about that lol. I actually use power strip with that widget so a double tap on the home button and from any screen i can switch to auto or full.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'll have to check that out!
[Nexus S General] neok44:
yeah powerstrip is pretty awesome, theres another app like it called quick desk but i prefer powerstrip.

My setup lets me double tap the home button and i have quick links to 5 widgets and then all my apps, a set list of shortcuts, and my recent apps as well.
[Nexus S General] burtmann:
Got Mysettings and it looks sweet. Thanks all.
[Nexus S General] neok44:
glad you like it, to switch to auto just long press on the brightness it'll switch to auto, and then long press again to go back to your previous setting. ;)
[Nexus S General] eevans23:
Its pretty serious for me as well, its like being on speaker all the time. Its there any way to change the volume range? If not this will have to get exchanged.
[Nexus S General] unclecarl007:
I am also experiencing the oposite problem to this, my earpiece even at full volume is still very low. May try to pass by Best Buy and see if i can get test out another phone and see if mine is defective.
[Nexus S General] rashlan976:
Yeah i'm suffering with the same problem. I've even swapped the phone but the new one has the same issue. :mad:
[Nexus S General] rashlan976:
Has anyone found a fix for this? I really don't want to have to swap the phone again :confused:
[Nexus S General] nailerr:
I would say mine is "pleasingly loud" on medium low volume settings. And yes it seems like it could go very high t the top end. But I am quite happy with that.

Can I reverse the question though, are any of you finding that the sound from the loudspeaker is just terrible quiet? Anything other than 80%+ on the ringer volume and nearly everything is inaudible!
[Nexus S General] rashlan976:
Yeah but the problem is that I have no control of the volume once it becomes loud. The only way to rectify the problem is with a hard reset and by the morning its stuck on max volume again :mad: What I don't understand is why it still shows the volume set to low though. I just dont know if its a hardware fault or software.
[Nexus S General] nailerr:
I do not mean to imply there is no problem, no! Just letting you know what is going on here with one for full disclosure. Not had it more than 2 days yet however. Volume thankfully is often down to software, even my Galaxy S WiFi improved with the last update so hang in there!

Do you have an opinion on the loudspeaker though? I am trying to avoid opening another thread.
[Nexus S General] rashlan976:
Yeah my Loud speaker seems identical to yours.
[Nexus S General] nailerr:
I will try to update here if my in call volume becomes an issue, I've subscribed to watch the conversation. Thanks for the loudspeaker input too.

I'm currently doing a European based Galaxy S vs Nexus S compare on my website over the next few days so I will be paying close attention to things like bugs and volume. Will update at http://twitter.com/nailerr if you want to check anything I find out (in case I forget to post here).
[Nexus S General] rashlan976:
ok thanks.
[Nexus S General] rashlan976:
I've swapped ther phone three times now and they all have this problem. surely other prople have this problem?
[Nexus S General] Drew474:
turn it up then down, and it fixes it for that call. Moved to team whiskey and dont have this problem anymore.
[Nexus S General] carlost24:
Low volume in calls...

Is it just me or is the other person when your in a call really hard to hear even at full volume?

Any solutions?
[Nexus S General] carlost24:
Anybody???
[Nexus S General] kjy112:
Yes same here but I thought it was just me. The incoming call volume is really low and annoying.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Yes, but Supercurio will hook us up soon enough with an audio boost mod.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Indeed he will. He is amazing.
[Nexus S General] .cruiser:
Try changing the call volume (try both up and down) when in the middle of a call. Worked for some users.
[Nexus S General] fchipm:
I've got the complete opposite. I wish I could lower the volume. Even at the lowest setting in call volume is louder than I would ever imagine wanting it to be.
[Nexus S General] carlost24:
I hope supercurio comes through with a fix I would greatly appreciate it,

I tried adjusting it in a call but that didn't work...
[Nexus S General] carlost24:
I see that voodoo has come out with some sound improvements im just wondering how do I get them on my phone do I have to be rooted or something?
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
[Q] Anyone having volume problems with 2.3.3?

Just wandering if this has happened to you guys when running a 3rd party music player. It happens to me on 2.3.3 with Mortplayer and Subsonic.

When running Subsonic/Mortplayer and Navigations together, the navigation volume is low when speaking directions through the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Have any of you experienced this problem? It works fine with the default music player from what I've tested though.

I'm on 2.3.3 NSCollab latest version and also tested it on stock 2.3.3. Never happened in 2.3.2 and below.

Edit: This also seems to happen with other players such as mortplayer. So perhaps CM7 RC 2 is the problem? I'm going to try it on stock again.

Edit 2: Tested on all stock 2.3 versions, it only happens on 2.3.3.
[Nexus S General] ommx:
also got the same problem with my NS 2.3.3 stock (rooted)...

it's very annoying when i'm in open space and couldn't heard a thing from other side...

is there a fix for it?
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
There is no fix that I know of and since people aren't talking about the issue, I was starting to think I was going crazy. It's 2.3.3 that's causing the problem so I reverted back to 2.3.2 for now until the next android version comes out. I emailed the Subsonic dev and he told me that he doesn't mess with the volume so it can't be the app, which makes sense now that I think about it.

It gets really annoying when trying to use it in the car cause I barely hear it unless the car stereo volume is maxed out.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Android 2.3.3 volume question

I'm going to ask this again since my previous topic with replies was deleted for whatever reason that I don't know.

On 2.3.3, there is a problem when using a music app with navigation. When you use them together while in the car or whatever via the 3.5 mm headphone jack, the navigation directions spoken is very low. This doesn't happen when you use the stock player. I've tested it with Subsonic and Mortplayer, it happened while using those apps with navigation. This only happens on 2.3.3, stock or custom roms.

The only solution I have found is to go back to 2.3.2, but this is going to be annoying if it stays this way for future Android versions. I've emailed the Subsonic app and he said he doesn't mess with the volume so it can't be the app that is the problem, which makes sense.

So has anyone experienced this issue? You can try it now. Just use a headphone and you'll notice the navigation volume is lower when using a 3rd party music app compared to the stock music app.

ORIGINAL POST

Hi all,

Didn't notice anyone mentioning this so I thought I'd give a heads up. Some of the recent apps on the Market have a reported size of greater than 30mbs, and the Galaxy Tab (and probably the Galaxy S too) has problems downloading apps of that size.

I encountered the issue when attempting to download the latest update for Drift Mania from the Market (it was 31mbs), but download would always fail almost immediately. Contacted their support, and they mentioned how Market has to download to the Cache dir before installing and that could be the source of the issue.

So I checked the /cache dir on the Tab (running JK5 firmware atm), and sure enough it's only 30.00mb's in size according to Root Explorer. Then I noticed today the X-Plane app on the Market had a notice warning Galaxy series device people not to download because it wouldn't install/download properly and as expected, their app size is reported to be 31mbs.

Sideloading the apk onto the Tab and installing works fine of course (my HD2 fulfills it's purpose - no cache size restriction problems :))

So yeah, word of warning: don't buy apps from the Market that are greater than 30.00mbs (or whatever max size is the /cache dir) in size - it won't download/install!. Unless someone comes out with a custom rom or Samsung issues a new partition map to make /cache > 30mbs?

I've only seen two apps that are of that apk size so far:

* Drift Mania Championship EDIT: Devs updated package, now below 30mbs, so no problems installing on Tab for now

* X-Plane 9 EDIT: Workaround for X-Plane available from http://wiki.x-plane.com/X-Plane_for...he_application_will_not_download.2Finstall.22

Be warned!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] futuregerald:
I didnt know about this. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] leongs:
X-Plane 9 installed,and works great on my SGT. I'm lucky.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ovigt71:
Thanks dude! Good to know that !
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] benorlina:
Salamat ng marami! ^__^
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Did you buy and download from the Market directly or did you sideload it (ie. installed manually via apk)?

What I'm talking about is specifically downloading and installing via Market and not copying a apk onto the SGT and installing.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] leongs:
Purchased directly from Market & installed. Mine is Verizon if that counts.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Interesting... would you be able to check the total size of the /cache directory and firmware version of your Tab? Want to know if it's > 30.08mbs (that's what Root Explorer reports for my Euro Tab with Roto's JMC firmware).

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] gobslotch:
Are you using OCLF? i had a lot of problems till I undid the fix. Was wondering if it makes a new cache partition.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] leongs:
Please guide me how to check this out.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
No, no OCLF. As explained in the 1st post, the problem concerns the size of the /cache partition that is determined by Samsung in their ROM.

OCLF doesn't touch the /cache dir.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Instructions based on using Astro file manager. Would be similar if you used any other File Manager (except for Samsung's stock "My Files"... that won't let you see the device's root directory)

1. Launch Astro and keep pressing the "Up" icon until the directory you're in is just "/"

2. Scroll to the directory called "cache" and long-press it to bring up the File Options menu. Click on Details

3. A Directory Details window will pop up. Just above the OK button, you should see a "Device total size:" description. For example, mine says "Device total size: 30.06 M"

EDIT: Updated 1st post, X-Plane dev's have posted up a workaround of their own.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] leongs:
Hi Aussiebum,

Thanks for the guides. I don't have the Tab at work, will find out when home. Checking the Droid1 (experimenting) with me, it shows as "Device total size: 92.62 M", "Device free size: 60.66 M".
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Yeah, that directory is where Market downloads get stored temporarily (and the problem on the Tab). Oh, firmware version check would simply be starting up the Dialer app and typing in *#1234#*, or going into Settings => About Phone => Software Information.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] leongs:
Device total size 606.66MB

Device free size 177.70MB

SDK version 2.2

OS version 2.6.32.9

SMDKC110

FROYO DJ11
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Updated 1st post - both > 30mb apps have a workaround or have had their apk size reduced, so not as big an issue atm.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] brilldoctor:
Doesn't the new market (2.2.7) allow 50 know apps
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
It does, and that's the problem - Samsung phones can't handle Market apk package sizes of > 30mbs :rolleyes:

EDIT: to be specific, the Google specified apk limit for the new Market is 40mb if I remember ccorrectly.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Leosirth:
Hi,

the apps with apk size greater than 30mb are growing.

At the time i'm writing i can't install MegaJump and any from the Battle Bears games.

There is a way to download the apk from PC so i can transfer to the phone?

Anyone know if Samsung have plans to increase the size of the cache folder in future firmware?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bert269:
Maybe there is, yes...

I am not sure if this uses the /cache(have not tested it, yet) but do you guys know of Market.Android.com ?

Here you can install apps DIRECTLY to your phone, from a PC. Just log on with your Google account and install the app directly onto your phone. If you have more than one phone, it will prompt you for the device to install it onto.

Now I am not sure if this will also use the /cache dir, I think it will 'cause it still downloads it to your phone.

But to answer your question, Yes, you can download the apk from PC and transfer it to your phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
Im using these and my android is running smoothly. However if your going to use android 10% i reccomend one of the stripped winmo roms made for using android only.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deho:
I am using radio 2.11.50.26 , have tried every else possiblle, but non of them is so lite on battery usage as 2.11.

Keep in mind that radio is country ( mobile network provider ) dependent.

So 2.11 might work for me but not for you.

Regarding ROM, I dont think that WINMO ROM plays a key factor when using android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xdabart:
I think the radio is more of a regional thing, may be different for EU, USA, China, or if you phone is locked in to a provider (T-mobile)

If you enter your serial number at the HTC site, the ROM they give you should be suitable for your phone, it worked for me and was the easiest thing to do ;-)

Here is some info from my phone:

i have installed PS3 downgrade and ps3mod " recovery mod? "

I only need flash player to use Fulltilt Rush Poker software...

And happy Xmas to every1, and sorry my bad english ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] action_papst:
hey.

the flash app has never been programmed to run on a processor like the one used in the magic. the only way to get flash to work is a hero-rom, but it's not worth it. flash makes the phone unusably slow and drains the battery like hell.

ps: next time you could try searching the forum or google.

[Wildfire General] Nexus04:
Hi, firstly I used unrEVOked to root the phone and thought I had backed up the original rom with clockwork recovery. I then installed Cyanogenmod, but due to various issues I want to revert back to the original ROM.I have tried clockwork recovery but it just keeps booting back to Cyanogenmod.

Next I searched for the original rom downloaded it to the phones sd card but if I try to install it it does not show in Clockwor recovery, but when I plug the phone into the pc and open the phones sd card it shows the rom on there.This is what I downloaded....1501_signed.exe(cannot post link in 1st thread)

So what am I doing wrong or what have I done wrong?I had several issues with things not working using Cyanogenmod. Apps were not downloading the clock did not show properly only half of it was visible,amongst other things.And to cap it all I cannot revert back to the original rom.I have obviously made some mistake along the way and I have searched the forums but cant find clear instructions of how to switch back.I am acomplete noob and have tried to run before I could walk!

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
If you have downloaded a RUU (.EXE), connect your phone to the PC, and run the EXE on your PC. It will proceed from there.

But remember, if you flash a FroYo RUU (Original ROM), you will lose your ability to root the phone. If you want to retain that, download a "Safe" version of the RUU (Untouched, only HBOOT Removed) from here:
