Hey all.

I just got a Galaxy S. the soft keys do not function although i know they're active. I mean they light up and give the haptic feedback too but don't execute.

Is there any app to simulate the menu and back buttons that could reside in notification drawer or launched within an app with double tap of the home button? (like power strip or quickdesk)?

if there's a programmer out there, a lot of people are facing similar issues so please develop something.

Hello!

I'm trying to find out where to see a list of parameters I can use in there.

I'm using the ClockworkMod recovery (even if I think it's just universal that part), but if I write in that cache file "boot-recovery --nandroid" nothing happens when I reboot into recovery, if I set just "--nandroid" it says "E: invalid arguments"...

What I want to achieve is to execute a nandroid backup and then one or more update zip files. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hey,

I've recently got my DHD. Although i still have that call drops like i had it with my HTC Hero.

At home we have a bad 3G signal. That's why i set my DHD to GSM Auto (PRL).

It still uses 3G and there are no more than 2bars (signal strength). However i also see my DHD on 3G with no bar (signal strength).

Sometimes when i make a call (1 of 5-10Calls) the phone starts on 3g, after some time it hands over to 2g and the call is dropped.

Do you know is the call drop at 3g to 2g handover the providers fault or is it the handset?

My best solution would be to adjust the GSM Auto (PRL)-3G-Treshold , so it would require a better 3G signal and would'nt switch to 3g at home at all. Is this possible?

Another solution would be if i make a call, phone should switch to 2g automatically. Seems more realistic!?

If those ways are not possible i can just use the workaround to use WIFI at home and use "toggle 2g if wifi"

Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengork:
Have you tried to fix it to GSM only without PRL? This is how I've gotten rid of my phonecall dropouts on 3G.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snope:
Ya ofc, but the coverage is only bad at home.

That means once i leave home i want to use 3G.

Switching everytime i leave home is no solution.

But thanks anyway!
[HD2 General] miksi:
When TMOUS HD2 showed up, ROM that enabled hidden RAM apeared too. I was using standard EURO ROMS then (and I'm still using it because of this problem) so decided to flash one of the 576MB ROMs and everything that goes with it (hspl, radio). Flashing went well (allways did) but phone gets hard frozen during setup. I did flashed another two or three roms but they won't run. So I'm using Artemis ROM now.

Android SD builds was also problematic because it could not boot. So I had to "reduce" available RAM in startup.txt (set cmdline "mem=356M") and it was OK then. But, new Android SD RAM builds could not run at all.

Now, when I flashed magldr 1.10 I can't get it's menu on the screen. After numerous unsuccessfull attempts I gave up and frustrated, turned off the damn thing and I was not using it that day (31 dec).

Next turning on was surprise. I have managed to boot into magldr, flash NAND rom and using it for awhile (maybe one hour) and then phone gets stuck. Removed the battery, restarted the phone but magldr could not boot, again.

So everything works when phone cools down. Even WM 576MB ROMs worked for a while.

What I need to know, is there anything I could do to this phone to get it to run NAND builds (changing the RAM chip maybe)?

I think I bricked the poor thing. I tried to flash my rooted EVO back to factory, and it stopped half way. And I tried again because it was stuck at a HTC logo on the screen, which it completed 100%.

Now when I boot up, it goes straight to Fastboot, I can't get anywhere, I go to the Bootloader, and click recovery, it shows me the red triangle. Now trying to factory reset and get something back up and running.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to fix this?

I was wondering if someone could point me(links) in the right direction for the best/easiest way of going back to stock with the stock recovery and bootloader locked. I need to exchange my phone at best buy. Thanks in advance to anyone who could help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Are you on a custom ROM?

If you're on the 2.3.1 update, every boot of the phone will rewrite the recovery partition back to stock (unless you've renamed the script that does that).

If not, a simple fastboot oem lock, then another fastboot oem unlock will totally wipe all data from the phone, including the sd card space. Then you can fast boot oem lock again to re-lock it.

This won't actually get rid of the root files (su binary, possibly superuser as well), but for exchange purposes you can be pretty sure Best Buy's not going to look for that.

If you really want to gid rid of all evidence of root, you could use a root enabled file explore to delete the /system/bin/su binary, and Titanium or file explorer to uninstall/delete superuser.apk.

The above is the method I'd use. There are several threads about this and other methods, a quick forum search should have revealed them. ;)

[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Hi,

I recently came across a problem when listening to music on the DHD on stock rom and the newest OTA. When not listening to music I easily get two days on a single charge. When listening the battery is out of juice in around 11 hours, thats way too fast for me... I found out that a process called "mediaserver" is using around 50% of my battery when listening to music for more than 6 hours. HTC Music only takes around 2%. Is that normal, can the mediaserver be stopped? Already killed all of the media applications and cleared their data, also formated the SD card and put all my music back on. There are 1400 songs on that card, all in mp3 or m4a format, nothing else... 11h is a joke compared to the iPod Touch I had before...

Best regards

Oliver
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I would just like to say that an ipod touch does not have cellular processes and hardware to drain the battery further.

Just saying that the comparison made may not be the best.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Yes, I know that is a bad comparison, but I dont know why the music is draining my battery. The mediaserver seems to be the cause of the problem, but I dont know what it is and what it does. I also dont know how to solve the issue...

Best regards

Oliver
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
Try using a different music player. The one that is in the rom supports DLNA so it is possible that it tries to share your music with other devices. I have used it to stream music from my pc to my phone, but probably medaserver is the process that streams music from the phone.
[Desire HD General] sparven89:
Could it possible be that mediaserver keeps running even when it's not supposed to? I would understand if the mediaserver was running when connected to WiFi and listening to music.

But what do I know? I'm keep using spotify instead of using the built-in player ^^
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Thanks for the replies.

Converted all tracks to mp3 today, so there are no m4a in my playlists anymore. Also renamed some songs with lots of characters, just to make sure everything is fine. Will see if it makes a difference. Are there any recommendations for alternative music players on the DHD?

Regards

Oliver
[Desire HD General] lefty83:
There is player pro and stock player, rest seem to drain too much battery.
[Desire HD General] kebong:
try Music Mod. i've been using it because the stock music player widget doesn't have a 'previous track' button, and so far it seems to be a better player.
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Hi,

tried a different music player yesterday. Sadly, the mediaserver process still needs around 50% of my battery... I really dont know what is causing that problem. Could anyone with a lot of music on the DHD test how much battery the mediaserver needs after playing music for a few hours without pause? Maybe it is normal...

Also, I've read that mediaserver is indexing the sd-card. Maybe there is a corrupt file which causes the problem. How can I narrow it down on specific folders. Can I exclude some folders from indexing?

Best regards

Oliver
[Desire HD General] MattSkeet:
Have you tried to listen to your music while phone is in airplane mode?
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Not yet, will try that. Thanks for the hint.

What if the battery lasts longer then, where lies the problem?

Regards
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Sadly, activating the flight mode doesnt help. Still drains the battery as much as before...

Any other hints, there must be a solution... A friend of mine tested playback on his DHD, the mediaserver only needs around 10% after a few hours of playback.

Hi,

thats impressive! Not possible with my DHD. May I ask you how much music you have on your sd-card, any which file types? I feel that there is a corrupted file somewhere in my card, but I dont know how to find it...
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Using the hidden battery info tool (*#*#4636#*#*) I found out that the DHD was awake about 80% of the time. That means it doesn't get into sleep mode anymore when listening to music. Also, the back of the phone is getting hotter the longer I listen. Maybe that is the problem...
[Desire HD General] pikipirs:
Mediaserver is a process that is playing back media on android. This includes sound and hardware accelerated video playback. It doesn't actually have anything to do with the internet, its name implies that it "serves media" to Android, to the user, to you.

Kill the mediaserver and you also kill the sound.

Also, it's normal for a phone to not go to sleep when it's playing audio. Something has to feed the mp3 data to the decoder right? In general, phones are not the best for listening to audio since they have to be awake to play it and keeping them awake wastes battery. Keep in mind that an iPod is a music player and has been designed as such so it probably supports a hardware mode to play music where the main processor is not required and can sleep (and not waste battery).

1.12 uploading

Nexus S: 2.21 download

1.05 uploading

what also i can see i got H on my Galaxy but only 3g on my Nexux s

well for sure this make the different i believe but why for the same Apn tested in the same place??

now we have to fing the answare

[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
The answer is that Google don't seem to like the H icon and therefore disables it. The phone still works fine on HSPA, it just doesn't display it.
[Nexus S General] gerardo66:
i can understand

but the different in speed?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Have you done multiple tests against multiple servers at different times of the day and averaged the results?

I can truly see a difference of 50% or more from one test to another sometimes, even when ran just a few minutes apart. Network traffic is just funny that way.

The other thing you might want to do to validate your comparisons is get the Antennas app from the Market (it's free) and make sure both phones are actually connecting to the same tower. They should be, but if you're in an overlapping tower area, they might not be due to load balancing by the network.
[Nexus S General] gerardo66:
i will try

so definitely is not H on nexus S?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
You will never see an H indicator on the Nexus S with the current stock firmwares. You'd need to flash a modded ROM or modify your frameworks file yourself to get it.

The phone is definitely capable of H speeds, though.

so now what is this problem? how we solve?:confused:
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Have you guys called T-Mo customer service and asked them to look into the problem relative to your individual phone?

They'll probably tell you to try a new SIM card (if you're using the one you had on an older device).

The phone is capable of faster speeds than you're seeing. It should get comparable to a Vibrant.

[Nexus S General] unremarked:
I'm going to start throatpunching people who ask this question.

Just because you don't see an "H" in the framework, doesn't mean you're not connecting to the HSDPA.

Start downloading something then type in *#*4636#*#* in the dialer. Look at "Phone Info" and watch the "Network Type." You'll notice a few seconds after it starts downloading, it'll switch from UMTS(3G) to HSDPA(also 3G).

[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
I have both the SNS and the SGS

SGS is on Fido

SNS on Wind

both gets a top speed down speed of 2800+ Mbps

and aprox 800+ Mbps up stream

that just gives you an idea that the SNS works properly, it might simply be the capacity load of the cell tower you were connected to
[Nexus S General] elkavayo:
Nothing wrong with the phones or SIM. Has to do with the modem. Flashing different modems on the vibrant have the same effect. Some modems are more aggressive, but use more battery. Nexus One stock gets same download speed as nexus S. I'm sure most NS and Vibrant will perform the same in the same geographical area.

BTW, you don't get the same download speeds everywhere. At home I get 2mbps but at work, about noon, I get close to 6 (with the vibrant) and close to 3 with NS.

In any case, 2mbps is pretty good. I won't go and exchange my phone because of that. I have learned to enjoy my NS as opposed to look for any possible thing that makes it not perfect in the eyes of "my friends" :-)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
cool.. if you love it so much, why are you on the Nexus S forum trying to discourage other people about the phone? Not trying to be rude or anything but posts saying Nexus S is a downgrade compared to X phone is just really annoying.
[Nexus S General] zc4life:
Heh

Im not trying to be rude but it is what it is...
[Nexus S General] deyna:
you do mean Kbps right?

2800 Mbps would be 933.33 MBps and that's <b><u>CRAZY</u></b> fast lol
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The OP has two phones that should be getting similar speeds (assuming they're on the same tower) and yet they're not. A call to T-Mo customer service couldn't hurt. Take note that I didn't say it was the SIM, I said T-Mo will likely suggest a different SIM; it's just one of the things they always seem to do.

Of course different areas get different speeds; who said they were the same everywhere?

I've gone through at least 8 or more modems on my i9000 and none of them affected transfer speeds dramatically, if it all. It's pointless to mention the modems since we don't have any alternative modems for the OP to try, and the modem we have seems to work just fine since most people are getting perfectly acceptable speeds with their NS.

2Mbps may be acceptable, but it isn't "pretty good" in my opinion when the phone's capable of 7.2Mbps and many folks are reporting 4-6. Obviously it just depends on the area you're in and the infrastructure for the towers you're on.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I think we all knew what he meant...

yes it was supposed to be

I recommend to check that out! You think 2.2 would be much better...

But that version of android is not fully operational. (I think they are working to get it fully operational)
