Hi,

I have a problem with the ringer on 2.2.1 it is not ringing. The ringer volume is max and when I receive a call it shows brefly in the notification bar the silent icon an its not ringing.

I tried wipe, reflash, stock JPU,JPX,JPY, darky'S 8.0 but nothing is working.

Now i'm back to 2.1 and the ringer is working just fine. Can anibody assist me in this problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MemnochtheDevil:
I've got the same problem with my Galaxy 1. I happened notice that if you give the phone a torsional twist, it makes the ringer come back to loud, indicating a mechanical issue of some sort, either a solder joint, circuit board break or maybe the speaker simply plugs in and is only making partial contact.
[Galaxy Tab General] ruenigma:
Samsung India surprised me today by sending a free car charger (genuine, worth INR 1899). This is apart from the free bluetooth headset and diary case the earlier sent.

On top of these, I received one more bluetooth headset at the time of purchase (10th nov 2009) from the website I bought my SGT.

I am absolutely floored by Samsung India's PR.

P.S. The charger unit is bundled with a data cable.

@Mod, can you please move this topic to Galaxy Tab Accessories section. My bad, will be careful next time.
[Galaxy Tab General] blackheart2925:
Cool...so did they call you and informed beforehand or just sent it across? When did you buy the tab?

And I like the bt headset and cover received.
[Galaxy Tab General] ruenigma:
Nope they didn't call before sending the car charger. They did called before and after sending the BT Headset and cover though.

I bought my tab on launch (10 nov 2010).
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
Having come from the HD2 I was suprised to not be able to change the ring type on the DHD, for instance I always used to have my phone set to vibrate then ring with an increasing ring volume, yet with the DHD I dont seem to be able to do this..

Is there an app or something I am missing perhaps?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
168 reads and no replys?

Am I missing something so obvious that everyone is just ignoring me or does nobody else actually use/want that feature?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] VagST:
Nope, you are not missing something.

It's not like the HD2.

I am unaware of any such application, but given the number of applications, there should be one!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Trig0r:
I know its not the "same" as the HD2 but you would expect something simple like that to be possible surely..
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cakira:
Wow! Android doesn't have this option? I knew I should have stayed in WM 6.5... :-)

Grumblings aside, I've found this post in a forum:

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/115984-vibrate-then-ring.html

Basicaly, they say to use an app called Ringriser and use an increasing volume together with "ring and vibrate at same time" or use "ring and vibrate" (with a custom ringer) and create a ringtone with some seconds of silence in the beginning.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dayze0:
Get an Admin to move this to development tread + see if some one picks it up

Id like to see a vibration setting where it can be altered - to buzz more or less also.

Ive missed a few calls due to the low speaker o/p and an alternating buzz (with tweaks) would be great
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Aust S5:
Some of the SMS notification apps in market offer the ability to change vibration modes etc, but I haven't seen any specifically for a phone call. If spotted will re post.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] kufut:

Can we change the speaker,dont understan about hardware but can we use an other produced or suitable speaker for dhd ?

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] jags_the1:
i have a inspire 4g and i have no problems with the loudspeaker .. its loud enough!! is it just my device or i have super hearing capabilities... :P

as far as i have read.. only in call volume was a problem in inspire/desire hd which is fixed on all roms by increasing it to 20% more.. hope i am right on this .

[Optimus One, P500, V General] staticxx:
OK, so i have an LG optimus one, and i can trade it for a TG01. Is it worth it? Going from android to WM, and from capacitive to resistive?

But TG01 has 1gb procesor, and a 4.1 inch screen vs the 3.2 screen on the LG.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] johnflorin:
I did the opposite transition (from WM on an HTC Touch Diamond 2 to Optimus One) and advise you NOT to do this, WM is an OS on which no amount of patching can cover up its age, the Optimus One is a much better piece of kit from a software standpoint...if you only want to use your phone as a video player, the TG01 would be superior on account of the better resolution and screen size. For anything else, Optimus One.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] markatmgpc:
+1 for that,

I had a TG01 a year ago as an upgrade on orange from a Diamond. After a couple of days I realized I'd made a big mistake, bad call audio, no custom roms at the time. I should have stayed with the diamond.

Talked to a few people at orange, finally got the right person who offered me a swap for three phones, one was a Hero and I haven't looked back, definitely don't miss WM.

Have now got work to provide my boss and I with P500's replacing the blackberries we had before and it's a great phone. Do not be tempted by the big screen on the tosh, there is so much bezel around the edge it looks ridiculous in your hand, managed to scratch the first one orange sent me with the supplied stylus.

And the P500 has UMA on orange, just need to get it working on the hero now.

Stick with the LG.

Thank you for the posts. I decided to stick with my LG, even tough that 4.1 screen is tempting :)).

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KreAch3R:
Do you actually need Stk? Because if you don't, remove it, I have and everything works OK for a month or more (backup first if you want).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rejh:
Removing the service? Hmm. Would rather not since it is (or should be?) an android native app.

Btw an update: this morning alone my phone went to 'sim_state_unavailable' and/or -_absent at least 5 times:

6:30, 6:39, 6:49, 7:00, 8:50

(can't see further in history, but I guess 6:30 wasn't the first time)

the weird thing is that at night/early morning it seems to do it all the time, but during the day it only happens like 2-3 times. I mean... my phone's not doing ANYTHING so early in the morning. I'm still sleeping!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KreAch3R:
When I first saw it, I thought is was a branded app, since it was useless for me :P (it has been so long, I don't remember what the app offers). I don't know why it does what it does, sorry.:(

I really hope I am not going to be flamed to death with my question as I have search everywhere for an answer.

This is the 1st time I have tried updating my phone to an Android ROM but I have run into a bit of a problem. I have updated the SPL on my phone to 2.08 HSPL.1

I am trying to load the Radio 2.15.50.14 but it is constantly getting stuck at 8%, I have tried running it several times now to no evail.

When I try and boot my phone it hangs on the HTC logo page, which I have read is resolved by updating the radio, but the radio will not update.

Can anybody please help me out with this as I am pulling my hair out and have spent days trying to resolve it.

Cheers

[General Questions and Answers] spookydownunder:
Hi guys, can you help?

I need to upgrade my phone, presently a rather slow and left behind Vodafone Magic. Running 2.2.1, just shows up how slow the phone is now. Too much lag.

I'm not adverse to rooting phones etc, but generally can't be bothered. So I want to go along to Vodafone and upgrade to best phone I can without taking out £35/month contracts (at present paying 20-25)

Android seems to be a decent choice, as it's continuing to develop, and I do like having my Google contacts/calendar/email easily linked.

The choices look to be:-

i-phone 3gs (possibly, although this may be at high end of costs)

HTC Desire

HTC Legend

Sony Erricson X10

Google (HTC) Nexus One

I am angling towards the Nexus one, but just wondered if other people could let me know if it really is a good phone, and that it doesn't lag as badly as my present one. I am also guessing as it is already running 2.2, then it will shortly be upgraded to 2.3 once Google start putting it out to older phones.

Would this be a good choice?

Cheers, Steve

Hey all,

Got a bit of a weird issue with launcherpro. I have set up a custom dock with some of the windows os icons on. Whenever I restart the phone the icons remain where they should but all of the shortcuts are broken or have reverted back to the stock shortcuts.

Anyone else seen this happening or can suggest a fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Zb134:
try making a backup and restore from it
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:

I had the same problem with LauncherPro and ADW on Darky's ROM v8.0 . LauncherPro was not saving the setting for anything.

Tried everything but nothing worked.

I reinstalled Darky's ROM and now everything's fine.

Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000

Darky's Rom v8.0

XXJPY Froyo 2.2.1

Voodoo Lagfix
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] spacemunkee:
Damn that sucks I'm using the exact same setup as you. Darky with voodoo on 2.2.1 I will have to try a new flash then :( my battery life is awful anyway. wonder if a kernel change would fix both issues
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Qukel:
The broken shortcuts are probably from apps that are residing on a sd card. Move them to your phone and all should be well.

If LauncherPro won't remember your settings after a reboot or restart of the program delete /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher. Then reenter your launcherpro settings and they will be saved this time.
[Desire HD Accessories] croutledge:
I'm looking for an armband type case for my Desire HTC to use when out running or on the bike. I want to take the phone for emergency's and also because i use SportyPal to track my route, etc.

I don't really want to pay a lot, under £10 would be perfect.

I've had a look around and found one on the auction side for that kind of money but no others. Any body got any recommendations?

Also wondering if there is a different phone of a similar size that has more and would be compatible with the Desire HD

Cheers

[Desire HD Accessories] TetsuBo:
Well, the HTC HD2 and the EVO 4G have nearly identical dimensions.

i just got my TuneBelt AB83 this afternoon, i only purchased it as we are theme park freaks and ive lost a few phone on nemesis at alton towers.

the armband is actually very good, and comfy to use, the suprise for me was the touchscreen still works when in the case.

it has the holes on the bottom as well for your headphones, but it takes a bit of effort to make it sit correctly in the case.

it is rather expensive for what it is, and im sure a couple of months down the road it will be a lot cheaper, but it still works out cheaper than looseing another phone.

[Desire HD Accessories] satfly:
Well, I received this APPLE IPHONE 3GS 3G BLUE SPORT ARMBAND and as promised, here are my findings:

Pro's:

- The DHD fits snugly into the pouch, the width perfect.

- The On/Off-switch, headphone jack and micro-usb port are easily accessible through the open parts of the pouch.

- It looks pretty decent.

Cons:

- The Volume-Up/Down buttons are not accessible through a hole in the pouch. It's quite difficult to operate these buttons and because of the snug fit, it's easy to accidentally push one or both the volume buttons. I'm considering to cut into the fabric to make these buttons accessible, but am afraid that this might destroy the pouch altogether.

- The height of the DHD fits into the pouch, but since this armband is designed for a slightly smaller phone, the top of the screen (notification bar) is difficult to read/pull down.

- There seems to be some excess glue on the inside of the pouch and this transfers to the sides of my DHD so I have had to wipe my DHD clean a few times.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takuhii:
So... It looks as though Hero development may end with Gingerbread (2.3). Honeycomb (3.0) looks very tablet orientated and some devs are already stating it may be hard to port it.

My question is, after the resilient little Hero, what would be the next best handset to move to? A lot of people have mentioned the Desire HD or the Desire Z, but I'd like to hear from you guys, what do you think?

Update: I prefer a HTC handset myself, but which would be a good one to move to for the next set of decent ROMs??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brat.haneq:
I also believe, that after getting fully operational 2.3 with 2.6.35 kernel it will be pretty much it ;)

Contracts are ending (I have one more year to go), developers are moving to other projects.

I hope that we will have one day "[GPL][2.3][2.6.35]Final Rom for hero".

After hero? Well, perhaps some crazy samsung device (although their quality isn't as good as HTC). I'm sure I'll stick with android, one of the best choices ever made ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hubix:
I think 2.3 is maximum for Hero. Honeycomb is likely their requirements opportunities Hero.

I have to admit, this looks like the root (sorry!) I'm most likely to take.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butterdori:
The Nexus S seems to be a decent choice

But after putting froyo on my hero for the first time and seeing how fast it became, I think I can wait for the next reference phone

Hopefully, the next one will have a full RGB AMOLED instead of the Pentile PoS on the current Nexus S

On my next phone I'm looking for:

Tegra 2 or similar, perhaps dual core hummingbird with dedicated gpu

300+ dpi RGB AMOLED screen

Proper capacitative multitouch

Hard buttons

NO FINGERPRINT MAGNET, minimal gloss&plastic, good materials

In any case, would Honeycomb be for tablets? I assumed that honeycomb won't come to phones
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minty1978:
yep, same hear, dual core is the way forward.

I plan to run the hero, cancel my TMO contract and get a giffgaff PAYG sim until a decent Tegra2 (preferrably HTC!) comes to the market.

not sure if i'd go back on contract or stick with giffgaff...i'll see how they perform, then buy the handset sim free (ouch?!?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minty1978:
personally, i think there will be a version of Honeycomb for phones, when the dual core handsets become more readily available. maybe a 'cut down' version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachwyt:

it depends on your needs i think. if you're flashjunky like me :) our hero will end soon i think because the processors won't be enough soon.

and also be careful about screen, only desire (not z nor hd) has amoled screen. so for better screen sharpness, you may get desire for now. and also it gets great scores

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterBadguy:
I've had the Hero for just over a year now, and honestly, jailbreaking it has given it a new lease of life. That said though, it's definitely not gonna get 3.0 by the looks of things, and I'd rather not get left behind in terms of software updates. I will likely get an HTC or a Samsung; both companies make good hardware that's pretty powerful. I have considered buying a Nexus S outright, but it's kinda beyond my budget right now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takuhii:
Completely agree with you. I bought a Hero when my iPhone went t*ts up.

But my concern was that the newer versions of Android are going to require faster hardware and there will come a point where the Hero just won't be able to cut it anymore. So what's the next best handset to go up to? At the moment a HTC Desire
