I may be the only person the universe affected by this, but just in case anybody out there is experiencing my problem and is looking to get it fixed, here are the symptoms...

When I got the nexus one, I moved all of my mp3s over from an old dedicated music player that I'd had for a few years. Android 2.1 identified all these files correctly -- artist, album etc.

Then, Froyo came along. It failed to identify the correct artist and I ended up with several thousand songs called "unknown". The problem persisted with any of the Froyo based ROMs I tried, but disappeared whenever I flashed back to 2.1.

My alternatives were 1) Stay on 2.1 2) use a program like EasyTag for Linux, or CowBell to try and sort out the mess. I tried this. For an album or two, it's OK. For hundreds of albums, it was too much time.

The good news, is that I flashed MicroMod77's Gingerbread ROM today and all of my music is back. I hope this helps or at least cheers up somebody else :)
[Nexus One General] greenlime812:
I think it was because FroYo only picked up on the "Album Artist" or maybe just Artist, I always have them both tagged as the same thing. I've used the mp3Tag app for Android for a few songs and it solved the problem, but I always filled out both the Album Artist and Artist with the same thing so I don't know which one the FroYo music app actually displays
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Based on this issue that's been open for awhile, it would seem Android was inappropriately ignoring Album Artist before. Maybe this has been fixed.
[Nexus One General] peadarog:
Maybe, although in that thread people have been reporting the problem from as far back as version 1.6 whereas I definitely didn't see it until froyo.

Anyway, thanks for the replies.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Meh, never had that problem since my mp3's are all properly tagged.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
The bug I mentioned does affect properly tagged MP3s. Perhaps you don't have any albums with multiple attributed artists.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r38007:
Hello all!

First I am not new to flashing and/or hacking phones I have done many back in my WM and other phone days,just somewhat new to Android :)

I have looked around and I think I already know whats up but I can't say I have seen this question asked yet...I did search :)

Here we go,

I have an Evo with Hboot 2.10 Stock sprint flash (as in from the sprint store) and I updated to S/W 3.70 with out first checking to see what it had...(yea stupid of me :o )

What I want to do is Temp root into the phone,use Ti backup or whatever to make a back up of the stock apps and then remove them. I only want to remove the sprint tv,nascar,blockbuster and other apps that I don't use that don't tie into the rest of the OS.

I tried with Z4root but seeing as I have S/W 3.70 not much happens :P

I don't really care to flash to new rom as I am happy with the stock flash just want to get rid of apps I will never use.

So far my only option is to wait from what I have looked up,I just wanted to know if I could execute my plan with out a full system flash.

Thank you for your time and if anyone needs more info I will be glad to give it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
Yes, it seems 3.70 has patched the exploit that z4root was using to get temp root. Until the devs find a way to get a new exploit you'll have to wait.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
With the rate these Devs work, I'd give it a week and you should be able to root your phone :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r38007:
Thanks!

I figured that was what I would have to do,but it never hurts to ask :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r38007:
A quick update.

It seems as if Z4root still does work even with the 3.70 OTA update...

I was searching around on Google and found people with this exact set up that had been able to temp root.

Not sure on the why yet but I had to do a reset to factory default first in order to get z4root to give me temp root(Maybe something from the update was hanging around on the phone blocking z4??). I then fired up TI backup and started to remove the Sprint stock apps I don't use and and a few other save to remove ones!

So if anyone is looking to stay on the stock sprint rom and has S/W 3.70 this might work for you as well! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r38007:
And now I am fully rooted and running the sprintlovers rom. I was able to follow the guides here and get my phone flashed up.

If anyone has the same set up and needs help let me know!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
How did you get permanent root on 3.70? I was going to try the'savior' adb method, but I'm afraid of bricking. I did just download unrevoked's new beta root though. I might try that when I get home
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdub1911:
how did you get root? I'm thinking of the savior method too (same evo specs). I'm guessing you used that since you're on sprintlovers?
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
i did nothing new, no update, just while installing some games, pc suite got a freeze, i restarted my pc and my DHD, all applications installed on the sd card are not working, but my sd card is mounted and i can access sd card root using astro, also i tried to install some apps using astro, but installation bar progress takes forever and didnt finish, even installing from market did not start.

any suggestion on what is going here?

P.S.: i tried to unmount than mount my sdcard, and nothing changed.
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
this is turning very serious, plz i need help.

i did a factory reset, and i did install the stock rom from sdcard, both ways keep the problem, that i cant sync the device or mak it appear as disk drive, i can only make a internet passthrough connection, but no drive no htc sync, i did a lot of tries, debug on off, connect reconnect usb, restart device, restart pc, use another pc, i also have stock rom .6, and original kernel with latest htc sync installed.
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
m very frustrated now, i have no recovery, the device wont accept installing anything from pc, or from market place, installing process takes forever and do nothing, the problem is in the device not the pc, is there a way to get back my device to operate properly, please help
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Is you SD card corrupted? Can you access it?
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
i will list it again as following:

-stock rom .6 with original kernel

-radio s off

-no recovery

-sd doesnt seems corrupted cause i can access it once with astro, and i can access it with pc suite only as disk drive

-i tried with mounted and unmounted sd card (no fix)

-i did a factory reset (no fix)

-i did install the rom from sdcard (no fix)

-i tried another pc for syncing (no fix)

-i can only make internet passthrough but no disk drive or htc sync

-in market i can press on install but nothing will happen

-in desktop htc sync, if i get luck and see it, if i browse to install an apk, it will simply freeze.

please all i need urgent help, i think something bad happened to my device
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
How about copying all the data from yr sd card into another card? Your current card could be faulty but stil accessible by astro.

You could also try copying everything out to your PC and then reformat the card and copying everything back.

If stil don't work then start brand new by reformatting the card and reinstalling all your apps
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
i will try it man for sure but just for informations:

-say i have no sdcard in the device (sdcard is unmounted) should i be able to install from market or install from pc some apk?

if yes than the problem is not in the sdcard, if no than i have hope to do it.

P.S.: how can i format the sdcard if i cant access it as disk drive?
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
You can format from within Android, Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> Unmount first then Format.

Have you got another SD card to try with?
[Desire HD General] vuedesprit:
-i formatted the sd card, insert it in DHD (doesnt work)

-i replaced the sd card by another one (doesnt work)

-reinsert the new sd card and reboot (now problem is fixed)

-now back to the original sd card (and yes the problem is fixed)

what happened i dont know, why it's fixed i dont know, it's like a sudden problem and sudden fix, if anyone have any idea of what happened plz enlight us for future or similar issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunToYoMouth123:
Does anybody know where I can find an app with REAL HD wallpapers?

It seems as if all the ones that say HD wallpapers, lie !

I see the wallpapers looking good, but when I set them as my wallpaper on my G2 the wallpapers looks so uglyy.

Like if they where to small, with little blocks and all yuck.

Kinda like if you where to zoom-in too much on a picture.

Get me? Lol.

Please help, I'm forced to use "already installed" cm wallpapers.

Don't get me wrong they are bad-ass but I want more wallpapers...

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
The screen resolution on g2 is 480x800 so if you want the wallpaper to fit nicely look for the same pixles you. Can use google image to find them.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunToYoMouth123:
Or I can just resize a bigger picture, ah excellent excellent thanks.

But instead of doing that mission, is there any apps for only that sized wallpapers?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
I am not sure ,ive never used any app for my wallpaper i find it easier to just find them on my pc and sync them to my phone.

BTW if you resize a picture with a very different pixle ratio in terms of (HxW) its not going to look nice .
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wileykat:

Use 960x800.

..sent from my CyanogenMod'd HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Why use an app for wallpaper? Its getting ridiculous, thanks to Apple, people think they need an app to get anything done.

Just search for 960x800 wallpaper. There are plenty right here on XDA.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunToYoMouth123:

Just saying we have flikies which I used to use for my G1 it was flawless, but now it looks ugly on the G2 . Just wanted an app of wallpapers so it can be much easier. With categories and such. Get me?
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Although the sound level and qualitybis streets ahead of any HTC devicenive tried I still find the volume a little low in some apps.

The desire HTC can be improved with an app called dsp manager and it makes a difference. Anyone know of anything that will increase the volume output level of the nexus s?

It's a while since I had hold of a galaxy s but I seem to recall it being louder than the nexus s.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
You will have to wait for cyanogen to bring that audio app over to the nexus s. I'm sure it will happen soon.
[Nexus S General] Guitarfreak26:
There was an awesome app for galaxy s called audiobooster.. dunno if it can be ported tho
[Nexus S General] carlitos66:
I was just going to post the same question. On my old Samsung I8910 I was able to tweak the volume by going into service menu by pressing *#0002*28346# and you could carefully change the audio settings for speaker, headphones, bluetooth etc. Is there such a thing in Android operating systems that you can go onto service menu of the phone and change the limits? The existing volume is really low for my ears, sitting in the crowded restaurant I can't hear the other caller.

I also tried Samsung utilities application test by pressing *#0*# not working on this phone. Anybody can help? I don't want to wait for any apk. or root. Phone has really low volume, period. Samsung please fix it.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Carlito are you referring to the in built loud speaker it the earpiece volime not being loud enough? I was referring to the speaker but I haven't tried making a call yet so can't comment on the volume of the earpiece.

As above I guess we just have to wait for a fix from the devs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sano614:
Is there a way to reset / calibrate the haptic feedback on this phone? My wife's phone is having an issue when you press the home/menu/etc buttons. The vibration is BARELY noticable, even though in the settings it is on "high", and feels really strong in the settings.. It works perfectly in the settings when you move the slider, but not when you hit the bottom buttons...

It's been doing it on her phone from stock 2.1 and on Eugene's Gingerclone 2.2.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sano614:
I just flashed Nero v3 on my phone, and now my Haptic feedback isn't working right, just like hers... I was on stock 2.1 and it was perfect, now it's barely there..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
Odin to stock. Only real choice. May work. May not.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sano614:
Odin to stock JI6 or the unofficial 2.2?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sano614:
I used Odin to go back to stock, then updated to Nero v3, and the Haptic feedback is still the same... I have it set on full (slider all the way to the right) but it only feels like it's at 25% or so.. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] down8:
The little things like this are what should be pointed to when ppl say, "Why are you complaining about not having an official 2.2 release? The developers make the leaks even better than stock!"

Sorry I have nothing to offer to fix your problem - except to say go back to JI6....

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sindibad:
As you may know, Bell Mobility has released the Android 2.2 (I9000UGJK4) update for the Galaxy S (Vibrant) on December 10, 2010. That update has caused a number of (additional) freezing issues and many phones crashed a few days after the update. Bell and Samsung reacted by withdrawing that update.

The good news is that a new update Android 2.2 has just been released today under the version name I9000UGJL2. An internal Bell email stated that Samsung found the bug that caused the freezing and crashing and was able to fix that with the latest update. The update will be available starting today, December 24 using Samsung Kies.

Also, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S that crashed after the first Android 2.2 update and should be sent for repair, you can call Bell Technical Solutions at 1877 328-2123 to create a repair order. You will also get a $100 credit to your account (due to the inconvinience according to Bell).

I hope this information is useful to some of you.

Happy holidays!

P.S. Too bad I cannot edit the title. The version of the new Android 2.2 update released by Samsung/Bell on December 24 is I9000UGJL2, not I9000UGJK4 as stated in the title. The I9000UGJK4 is the problematic update that was released on December 10.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeARMS:
Can anyone verify this? (The credit. I'm aware the JL2 firmware has been released.) I just got off the phone with them earlier, and they stated they were unable to create a repair order on the phone and to just bring it into a nearby Bell World store.

I brought my first SGS which died into a Bell World a few weeks ago and they sent it to get repaired. I got no credit or anything, and they refused to reimburse my account.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sindibad:
There is an intermittent problem with the repair order system but the rep. can keep a note to do it later when the repair order system is fixed.

The $100 credit is confirmed. I posted the info. here because some Rep. may not read the info. or simply not bother spending time giving you the credit if you don't ask for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miniflight:
Nice, this boost a lot of condifence to update my phone. I will wait for a few more days tho lol, I am such a chicken. Don't want to brick and send to repair again :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
and how does this help us that bought the phone outright for 580 and are not using it on bell...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeARMS:
When I get my phone back in a few weeks or so I'll be calling bell to see if they'll be able to give me that credit, or at least refund a month of the plan.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danial.aw:
so if your phone blows up you are guaranteed to get 100$ credit? ... or upto? ...

and how do u go about it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silentalarm:
Just updated and so far so good!

Is it safe to do the voodoo lag fix??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sindibad:
I have also bought the phone using kijiji.ca but only payed $380 for it. I never updated it since it doesn't suffer from any major freezing issues and I don't want to take the chance with these updates. I will wait for a week to see if the recent Froyo update worked fine before applying it to my phone...

Phone warranties should also be handled directly by the manufacturers. The problem is that there is no consumer protection law that forces the manufacturers to do that in Canada and they feel little or no pressure from cellphone buyers since probably more than 95% of them buy their phones from the service providers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sindibad:
It is a $100 credit applied to your account if your phone crashed and should be sent for repair. The credit will be applied if you call a Bell Technical Solutions rep. to create a repair order for your phone. This process only started today, December 24.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mr_ding:
Called Bell TechSolutions and they applied $100 credit to my acct (since I got my Samsung Galaxy S replaced) :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zshakespeare:
has anyone else convinced a rep to send out a new phone even though yours was out for repair? How did that go for you?

I ask because I got a rep to do this, but I later learned that you need to send back the broken phone. I don't have the broken phone because it's already being repaired and I really hope I don't get caught in some Bell policy loophole.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
just a note

you wont get the $100 credit if you are not in a contract with Bell
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crlowryjr:
My TP2 has died, and I'm in the market looking for a new phone.

I've decided I want to go Android, and I'm on AT&T.

The most important criteria for me are:

a. size (don't like the trend towards gigantic 4.3" models)

b. tweakable / modable

c. Front Facing Camera

d. rear LED Flash

e. AT&T 3G friendly

Being locked into AT&T I gave the Captivate, the X10 and the Aria a look and all fail to hit my important criteria.

I was all set to get an Nexus S until I learned it won't 3G on AT&T. I'm kinda digging the Optimus 2X but but it's not on the streets yet (I'm in Thailand until Feb and then in Tokyo for a week, so this is still an option). I'm even tempted to go to the darkside and get an iphone 4.

So ... long story short: can anybody point me at handset that sports a rockin 3.5"~4.0" screen and hits my other criteria?

Much thanks ...

Rob

BTW - if this post should be elsewhere, feel free to move it and chastise.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sh4d0w86:
you want at&t 3g.

with a tmous phone. you wont get at&t 3g.

with a verizon/sprint world phone. you wont get at&t 3g.

with a european gsm phone. you wont get at&t 3g.

the frequencies are different.

your 'important' criteria bar is too high.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Not sure if this is a common problem. I couldn't find anything on the interwebs indicating that others are having this issue frequently.

It seems like my Camera application will almost never allow me to see the pictures that I've taken. When I tap on the picture preview it just goes to a blank screen. If I hit slideshow, it momentarily tries to take me to the slideshow and then bounces me right back.

Sometimes after force closing it with the system monitor app a few times will eventually let me see previews.

It's pretty infuriating that it does this and I have no idea what would cause it. I'm thinking about buying Vignette, but in my opinion the stock camera should work.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
You know what I just noticed - it appears to be the gallery app and not the camera app. Anyone else have this problem with Gallery?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
It is most likely a media scan issue with the gallery (sometimes my pictures take a long time to show up on their own as well).

You can either reboot the phone or use an app to rescan media. There are a bunch out there (search market for rescan or scan media). Or if you are running CM6, you can choose the function in the built-in Dev Tools app. Tasker also has this function built in if you wanted to set up something like forcing a rescan every time you exit the Camera app.
