[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2271:
Hey,

No I don't think it is.. but I don't think that should matter much, since I just got this phone, and had an old SD-card lying around.. so I rooted it, partitioned it, etc., but these malfunctions appeared almost immediately.. and I'm pretty sure the SD was OK when I put it in.. isn't class 10 usually only recommended for demanding a2sd setup-ups, that run over long periods of time..? I find it extremly suspicious that an SD card, even below class 6, would almost instantaneously die upon being put into use.. ?

However, now I've played around with it some more, and I'm almost certain now that it's the SD card that has gone broken.. because if I clear the data and cache of both google play and google framework services apks, and then boot into recovery and choose "tools" --> "check filesystem" --> sdcard --> repair sdcard (it doesn't work EVERY time, which also makes me suspect the Sd card...!!!!) , and then reboot, the SD card will work -- for a while... Like, I'll install 5-7 apps from google play, and then the same s**t all over again..

Gonna try it out with the same setup, but a brand new class 10 SD tomorrow, and report back..!

I bought Sandisk Extreme 32GB :)

What partitioning tool did u use? I've seen many ppl saying that 4ext is the best. To be Frank I never had any issues with it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2271:
Yeah, I also used 4ext.. worked like a charm!

HAhaha, LOL - I was just looking at what card I'm gonna get tomorrow, and it looks like it's gonna be the same as yours..!! :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaySayonara:
You're in for a treat my friend :D

I was very surprised by the difference.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2271:
All right!

The mystery is solved! Just tested it out with a new SanDisk class 10 16GB SD card.. everything works just fine.. partitioned it in 4ext, installed MildWild AOSP GB rom, installed a s**tload of apps, and everything works just fine.. the a2sd script is working as it should, both the rom install and apps install went smoothly. Besides changing the SD card, I changed nothing; same HBOOT, same 4ext, same everything.. So I guess it was the SD card that was fu***n things up..!

Cheers everybody!

Is there a way to embed the clock (that flips) and the weather animations of the htc desire onot the Wildfire??.

This was posted in the latest wild puzzle thread but thought it's worth putting on it's own thread for all those that missed reading the post.

Anyone know if it would be possible?.
[Wildfire Android Development] danne_jo:
its possible...

i have installed clock from desire on wildfire.. it realy dident look well as i supposed, but clock did flip.

so we need to decompille clock for wildfire and for desire and then compare those two.
[Wildfire Android Development] coltrain:
Try download Beautiful Widget....
[Wildfire Android Development] tuktukscotty:
That would be great!. If anyone can do it, you can Danne_jo.

You are a god............... No, you are THE god when it comes to our Wildfire's!!

Tried beautiful widget, not that impressed.
[Wildfire Android Development] romasis:
I'm useing this weather widget, works perfect
[Wildfire Android Development] Villis87:
Actually i was the one who wrote this, and i just want to mention that i want the clock (and animations) from the desire HD ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] dp4u4umi6ev:
Beuthiful widget is good and have weather animation but the clock still dont flipping so i want flipping clock if posiblle.
[Wildfire Android Development] tuktukscotty:
Didn't know there was a difference with the HD. Either would suit me.

Tried the weather switcher thingy, I must have set it wrong as I had no animated weather.
[Wildfire Android Development] Villis87:
Only the desire hd's clock is flipping as far as i know...

Whatever, if Danne or someone else knows how to resize the essential stuff and port it into the wildfire, we'll be grateful once more!

I used J&R out of New York (jr.com). Although seems anything coming from the East coast is delayed right now. A package that was supposed to be here today is currently still stuck in New Jersey because of all the storms.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] hurrpancakes:
You should check out monoprice.com. Super cheap cables, and shipping isn't bad either. I live in CA, so it may be different for you, but overnight shipping is cheaper than any other option for me.

Hi,

together with some friends, we try to make a musicplayer for Android and we have a little problem. Our GUI creates on start the service which is responsible for playing music. When the music is started and the starting GUI is stopped, the music goes on as intended, but when the GUI is started again, we have no control over the service and we cant stop the music anymore (probably because of the newly created service). How can we verify if there is an existing service and connect to it?
[Android Software Development] Kirodema:
Noone here, who can tell me, how to find a specific service and connect my app to it?
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
Take a look at Context.bindService(...), first parameter is Intent that identifies the service to connect to. The Intent may specify either an explicit component name, or a logical description (action, category, etc) to match an IntentFilter published by a service.

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Is there a mod or an app that allows use of one of the physical buttons to answer and end a phone call? Capacitive screens don't work with gloves, so to answer I always have to take my hand out and that's troublesome.

I never realized how much of a difference physical buttons make during winter time and Nor' Easter's
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
And to kill 2 birds with one stone...is there a mod that will allow me to type someones name in the dialer when I have the keyboard open? I think its stupid to only be able to use the 10 digits to type someones name out when I have all 26 letters at my disposal..
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Instead of hitting phone and trying to type their name you could hit search and type it.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i like that idea... i've missed a few calls trying to answer my phone with gloves on
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Yes, you can type out the first name of the person you want to call (on the touchscreen dialpad, im going to try the physical right now)

Edit : nevermind, doesnt work with the physical keyboard, you probably knew that. Sorry for the misunderstanding
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
I know this isn't the question you asked, but it might be a solution... there is a mod you can do to your gloves to make it work :D

Cut a small piece from a static shielding bag (the kind a hard drive or motherboard gets shipped in), cut a small piece (5mm x 5mm possibly, may need to experiment) and glue it to the fingertip of your glove. When done, you will have turned the finger of your glove into a capacitive stylus, and you will no longer need to remove your gloves to use your phone.

Apart from that, if you are running a Froyo rom, you can set the powerkey to end your call, but dont know of anything to answer your call. To set it to end your call, go into your settings menu, go down to accessibility, if a box pops up saying no accessibility applications found, just hit cancel, then check the box next to 'The power key ends calls'.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
A while back this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849075) was posted as an instruction to get the power button to end calls on pre-Froyo ROM's. I'll bet there is some way to map that key to do what you want, but I don't know what you would replace "power" with...

I experimented with it just now by changing it to "call" (as found in the qwerty.kl file) but that didn't work.

Perhaps a Google search on epic key mappings might turn up the "command" that you'd need to manually associate with key 58.
[Epic 4G General] rapat:
Try Tedds droid tools its free in the market. It allows camera button to answer calls.
[Droid 2 General] tychastain:
I was experimenting with my VM cache, and set it too low, and now my phone won't boot far enough to change the setting. I wiped the cache in Clockwork Recover, but to no avail. Is there any way to edit it from my computer via usb? Or within Clockwork Recovery?

Thanks a lot!
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Can you get into the phone Via USB mode like a flash drive?

if you can do that then you can edit the build.prop with ADB if not since you can get into clockwork you can just restore a backup from clockwork and it should be fixed. (you made a backup right??)
[Droid 2 General] tychastain:
I made a backup, and decided to do that instead of modifying the VM cache, but then I was stuck in bootloader mode, for quite a while. I believe the SBF I had was flawed (it was the right version), because it never worked. I downloaded another one instead and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for your help though!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatle405:
Can anyone tell me the best format to store thier music so that the files will stay resonably small but retain thier quality. I guess what I'm asking is, is there a better file format than MP3? I was storing a ton of music on my old phone's SD card, but since the Nexus S doesn't have the "extra" room an SD card allows for, I was wondering if anyone can help me to shrink the files to save space.

Also, I know, I can just carry fewer songs, so please don't put that.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Man just chill ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
there are better formats, but i don't think the stock music app actually supports them.

The nexus s does have 13GB of space on the SD card, i think that would be enough unless your one of the crazy people who spent $100 on 32GB SD card.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
So how big are your MP3 files? Encode your MP3 to VBR 128-192kbps, they sound fine with good file sizes. If you're an audiophille, you'll have your own standards.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
AAC is the best format, because it's actually mp3's successor. They couldn't call it mp4, because that was already used for the video file format.

AAC uses a different compression algorithm, thereby offering better sound quality at lower bitrates. 96kbs AAC = 128kbs mp3 in terms of quality.

HE-AAC v2 is an advanced format of AAC that allows even lower bitrates, such at 32kbs.

Listen to this song encoded at 32kbs: HE-AAC+v2 (44100Hz Stereo@32kbps) 1.1 MB

Yup, the entire song is 1MB!

Here is a free encoder: http://www.nero.com/enu/technologies-aac-codec.html
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
pretty awesome stuff there, do the android music apps support it though? stock, winamp, poweramp?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
I am making a batch file that will automatically transcode any mp3 files in the current directory to HE-AAC v2 mp4 files. All you'd have to do is unzip it, copy the .bat file into the directory where your mp3 files are, then double-click the .bat file. I have it set for 64kbs for highest quality.

There are players available that will play AAC files in android, just search the market.

Also, make sure you edit the .bat file paths to the correct path of lame & neroAAC.

SET LAMEEXE="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\AAC\lame.exe"
SET NEROAACEXE="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\AAC\win32\neroAacEnc.exe"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
doubleTwist supports mp3 AND AAC, and it's free :P

If you're really concerned with file size, 32 kbs is the lowest I would go and 48 kbs is a nice balance of size and quality.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
I use ogg vorbis 192kbps which can yield very good quality sound, especially Android has native ogg support.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackOtaku:
OGG Vorbis has been consistently proven to yield higher quality audio at lower file sizes than mp3, and about equal to or better than AAC. That's why it's part of Google's WebM video container format. Vorbis is supported by default in Android and is what I encode my music in (along with FLAC).

Windows doesn't support *.ogg by default (open standards aren't their thing), but this link should get you set up to listen on Windows: http://www.vorbis.com/setup_windows/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timcredible:
Ogg is better than mp3, but it gets hard to tell difference between formats once you get to 320kbps. Being open source, ogg benefits from improvements over the years while mp3 is stagnant and costs to include on device. But its well adopted and almost everywhere. Other formats may be better compression, but not well supported like mp3 and ogg.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waitwhatwhoa:
Bah! No URLs for newbs. Google for: winamp preferences guide, and on that wiki page search for the text "force transcoding"

I was looking into writing an auto-transcode app/script for just this reason, but it turns out that winamp has one built in: I set the "Force transcoding of compatible tracks if bitrate is over __ kbps:" to transcode anything above 191kbps and when syncing music over it works like a charm. You can set it to a couple different codecs, winamp seems to include LC-AAC, AACPlus, mp3, and wav.

Note that these settings only appear when you have your device attached.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatle405:
Each MP3 averages to about 3-4mb. I only have about 4gb worth, so not a lot, I'm just looking to obtimize space where I can. Is there a specific AAC player for Android that you would recommend?

Oh yeah, and thanks for the helpful answers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slapinfunk:
If you care about audio quality you wouldn't use mp3 any way.

Use 160 its the best middle ground.

Un compressed aiff is best but 10MB per minute is to big for a phone

Im a big advocate of FLAC but size compression is almost non existent
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
All my music is in mp3 format and I was just discussing with my brother how to improve sound quality. I went to the vorbis site and downloaded "audacity" a free audio converter.

I chose a mp3 file I had which was about 10mb @ 320kbs. Using audacity I exported that mp3 to .ogg and it cut the file size down to 4.2 MB @ 165kbs. Does that sound about right? Does doing a simple export actually improve sound quality? Or just cut the size down.

EDIT: I did some more digging around and apparently converting to ogg from mp3 is not recommended rather to convert to ogg from a lossless format like flac or from CD.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
320kbps is damn near lossless, you won't get much more quality from a lossless format.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willyalmanzar:
Use I tunes to convert your music. It does a great job. mine is 192kps. Just about right for me for mp3. I'm just use to mp3. I will try ogg

Hello Every1!

I just baught a T-Mobile HTC HD2 for my brother .. he HATED WM 6.5 and wants Android so bad!

Anw i tried putting Android MdeeJay Froyo Clean 2.4 on it but SOD keeps on happening when i put the phone to sleep!

I Just get a dark light and thats it so i have to remove the battery and start all over again!

I Searched xda and found out its caused by the old Radio Version.

Now i need to upgrade my Radio Verision.

Can it be fixed without Flashing or Changing Radio?

And If i update to the latest T-Mobile HD2 ROM will it Update my Radio to more then 2.12 and from that Stop SOD from happening ?

will the Stock HD2 ROM cause any problems?

+ .. Is it ok to Flash a Radio to 2.15 even if the ROM is old?

Im sorry for those many questions but im a bit lost as you can see!! :P

10x alot anyway
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jacksonywl:
I am not a professional myself, but I solved my SOD by flashing to 2.15.50. Previously I was using 2.10 myself and at one point I kept getting SOD everytime I lock my phone and hence I flashed it to 2.15. It works well now :)

I am not sure whether Radio is affected by ROM (or stock ROM in your case), but if you wish, you can try this Dutty Family ROM which I am using. Since you are going to flash Radio, why not flash a WinMo ROM altogether XD

[Focus General] Loudsound:
G'day all XDA'ers. I got my phone from eXpansys unlocked just a week or so ago. This is not my first Windows phone but my first WP7 device for sure. I have been using the forums and the wiki to get my Focus up and rocking.

All is going well except full data service. No i know it sounds odd but data service is "kinda" working. By that i mean that i can get my corporate Exchange email ok and for some reason m.cnn.com will come in ok. For a local newspaper site it will render about 1/4 of the main page and thats it and Fark i will get a logo. All other sites fail in either stock IE or Browser+. Its trying.......just not succeeding. Looks like GMail and Hotmail can't sync over this borked celldata connection either - company Exchange only.

Last phone was a Blackberry and verified with the carrier that no flags or anything needed to be changed on their end. I verified with the *#7465625# that all locks are disabled. Most annoying is that i popped my SIM into my gf's iPhone and everything works fine.....and it was unlocked and she is with a different carrier.

I put on Samsung's Network Profile tool but i don't have any other network profiles to select. Auto config is on.

Not sure where else to look. Calls work, SMS works, MMS isn't supported on my carrier so didn't test. I really thought i had it figured out until the iPhone test worked.

For reference carrier is M3 Wireless Bermuda but to keep it interesting my liveID is registered to Canada.

Thoughts?
[Focus General] Loudsound:
Also i got the Device Info app from Marketplace and see i am getting an IP and it is from my carrier's range. And though i should add that APN settings have been triple checked.

The Network Selection type is manual with carrier network selected and roaming is enabled.

And as an update the Hotmail did eventually update.......no word on the GMail
[Focus General] Loudsound:
Little more detail

This might be a carrier limitation......maybe. I noticed that when i popped my gf's SIM into my phone i see a Digicel network profile now in Samsung's tool. Even after swapping out my M3 SIM the Digicel profile is still there - no M3 profile loaded/created. I need to get the data service on my gf's phone reactivated for a test but there might be something here.

Again....a small handful of sites work and Exchange and Hotmail works. I can't see the rhyme or reason of it. Google.com mostly loads (no logo) but detects my gmail account....but m.google.com won't work. Mobile version of bermudasun works but not other paper. m.cnn.com is groovy but not m.youtube.com.

will post back with more detail. Wish i could see what the carrier proxy or dns information was......
