[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billyandrewsy:
Hi! I just bought an FM transmitter that has a 3.5mm audio jack input. I connected my Samsung Galaxy S but I'm unable to transmit the music being played on my phone to the car stereo.

I increased the stereo to a very high volume and was able to hear some music, with static and almost can't be heard. :(

My guess is that I should change the setting somewhere (similar to my old N95 phone where it would prompt me to select to which mode to choose: Headphones, Music Stand, etc.)

Can anyone help? :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
sounds like the headphone cord isnt in the jack all the way. Or your transmitter is bad. Or you are trying to transmit on a frequency that is already being used by a real radio station.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billyandrewsy:
hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I checked and the jack is connected.

The transmitter works because when I play music from a USB stick plugged in, it works.

Same as above, using the same frequency but from a USB stick, it works

:(

Tried to install Cyanogen 6.1... It failed.

From there the device booted up normally on a fresh start, but I tried to recover my backup and that is where everything got all messed up.

Im stuck on the G1 screen.

Ive gotten it to the fastboot mode and Im downloading what I think I need to get my phone working again. Ive downloaded the Andriod 1.6 image from the HTC website. Do I need the recovery? I just want 1.6 until I have time to try and get Cyanogen installed.

Im currently installing JDK for the Andriod SDK.

Am I headed in the right direction?

I was using ROM Manager with Clockwork Mod. My old ROM was Super E... Not sure what version, but it was Andriod 2.1

What radio/spl do u have?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbry:
2.22.19.26I
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
And spl? Do u have and eng spl? (S-off). If so u could fastboot erase your system and try to flash the rom through recovery. And fastboot flash a recovery of your choice first. Have u tried going on ezterry's thread with the new radio/spl and going that route?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbry:
Not sure what the version of the SPL is, but I know it is off. I'll check his thread out and give it a try. I might end up finding someone who actually knows what they are doing, or buying the Nexus S.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
Ok. If u follow his thread exactly and fastboot flash the radio/recovery/spl u should end up with everything as described in the thread and be able to move on with cm6 with appropriate kernel. Alternatively u could boot into fastboot and open up your terminal on your computer and type in code to fastboot recovery of your choice (after it's download and put in sdk/tools folder on your PC) he has amonra link in his thread for download . Then type fastboot erase system -w (hit enter). When it's done type fastboot erase boot (hit enter). Then power down. Power back into recovery with the rom on your sdcard and flash away.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbry:
That is actually what I'm trying to do. Its just about my only option at this point.

Im having problems getting everything set up correctly though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
What are u having problems setting up?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbry:
I installed Andriod SDK, seems to be working.

Downloaded the drivers, which seems to have stopped my computer from seeing the phone.

I downloaded the Fastboot.exe, tried to run it but it cannot find ADB.dll ( Pretty sure thats what it was.)

I was basically following the steps on the cyanogen wiki.

When I have some time, I will try the Fastboot for noobs guide.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
I think I followed a guide in androiddevelopers.com or something like that. If I find it again ill post a link. I don't think I ran a fastboot exe file though. Just have it in my androidsdk/tools folder. Added the variable to my paths and was good to go. Not at my PC currently though.

Edit: developer.android.com/sdk/

I believe is what I followed
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbry:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

Following this for fastboot.

I cannot update anything. Home + power doesnt do anything.

Only thing I can access is fastboot mode.

Fortunately my radio is up to date, so I assume my SPL is as well.

Going to attempt to try the fastboot step, once I can get the SDK working correctly

edit: I knew if I spent enough time working at it that I'd get it working.

Only problem now is getting my device to be listed.

Edit2: at first when I entered fastboot mode, I would get the "Add new hardware" for the device "Andriod 1.0"

It now says "andriod bootloader interface"

I feel like I'm so close. I'm going to keep playing with it, but what can I do to get my device listed when I type the command "Fastboot devices"?

Edit 3: Awesome. I got fastboot to work and my phone is recognized. Only problem now is getting my SD card reader to work so I can put the proper files on

Final edit: MY phone is killing SD cards for some reason. Don't know what to do

Got the SD cards to work, for some reason though, some of the commands are not working. When I type fastboot shell, I just get the usage doc.

When I do fastboot update, I get the following: error: failed to load 'update.zip'
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
What are u trying to do in fastboot?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tbry:
Well, I fixed my phone. Back to its original state.

I guess my only question at this point my only question is if I switch to Cyanogen 6.1, will it be less buggy than my Super E ROM?

For anyone wondering, Holding home + end for about 25 seconds is what I did. From there I just went to nandriod and tried to recover the same backup that gave me the problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
I would say no. It will not be less buggy. U can always flash and try different roms though for experiment sake. Glad u got it back up

what is sprints policy on food in a phone? i went sledding and got snow on my phone so just to be safe i did the rice thing to absorb any water that might have got in my phone.

while i was trying to charge my htc hero cdma , the charger kept coming out. i noticed it was a small piece of rice inside it. i took it out and no my phone wont charge at all....

will my warranty cover this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
Im pretty sure food in your phone voids your warranty. And so does water damage. You will have to go through insurance to get a new one.

Lesson learned, don't go with Samsung Products if you want a device that will be valued in the future. So all of these upcoming Samsung products, should be crossed off the list of a upgrade path.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do..I particularly love the iDrops keyboard. It's beautiful. Usually we drop it as a system app in the /system/app folder. However in this case there is a force close..I'm also seeing if tweaking something and dropping it the /data/app works..

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourDrinkingHero:
All,

Just today I started hearing major static on all voicemail left on my inbox. I have Verizon and the Dinc, and I forward to GV for voicemail. Now whenever someone leaves a message, there is static to the point that the message is inaudible. I was able to replicate this issue by calling myself and leaving a message. Also, I hear the static when playing back via a computer on GV, so it might not be phone specific. Another strange thing is that you hear my voicemail greeting, then hear a high pitched beep, then a lower pitched beep. It used to just be one beep. Anyone see this before?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokeey:
Yes its because GV transfers to voice mail so fast people don't realize its recording so they are quiet waiting to hear "hello" or "beep"

[Focus General] vector4:
Mine does it too. I haven't tried anything to fix it except re-sync my MS Live account, which did not work. When it happens to me I just email myself the pictures.

You are right it is kind of annoying and I can't explain what is going on.
[Focus General] Aaron McCarthy:
hard resetting your phone will not get rid of your paid apps.... all you do when you reset the phone back up is set the phone up with your windows live account again and go redownload them. It will say "buy" click it and it will say you've already paid for it.

on a side note. My wife and BOTH have the focus and we use our family account as the primary windows live account on the phone. She bought a whole bunch of apps and I had to hard reset my phone... when I did it went ahead and installed all the apps she had purchased onto my phone.... I dont know if it would work with stuff she has downloaded after I initially set up the phone again that second time. I dont want to be dinged buying an app I wouldn't use anyway but, it was pretty surprising to see her paid apps on my phone working fully.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPhoenix:
Out of the 3 things that can be flashed (ROM, kernel, and radio), what accesses the EPST settings of the phone? I know radio is affiliated with it, but my epst settings also changed when i flashed the kernel. I just want to know what not to do when i get my replacement incredible. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
Which epst settings specifically?

If you dial *228 to update prl and whatnot it will revert any manual changes. That is the

only

time my epst settings have changed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPhoenix:
I'm not really sure which settings but I know at least my PRL changes. When i dial *228 i get a message saying they cannot reprogram my phone.

It has happened to me twice. Once when i flashed my radio to 11.19 and also when i flashed the incrediblek kernel to MIUI-gold 1.1.14 ROM while i was using the stock radio.

I know it changes because my reception changes to extended network and is only 1x. If if update the PRL it goes back the verizon network and sometimes i'll get 3G.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
I have never heard or experienced any changes in the epst setting when flashing any combination of roms, kernels, or radio.

Those settings are programmed when you dial *228 option 1 to activate your phone and option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List.

But, to answer your original question:

I would say that all 3 would because those settings tell the phone how to communicate with vzw's network.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPhoenix:
Haha okay thanks. I'll just be more careful and thorough when reading directions then. I think I forgot to wipe the dalvik caches when i would flash the kernel/radio if that makes a difference...

Battery Life and Battery Stats

Cross-posted from the aospGBMod thread by request.

Q: When I first flashed [ROM NAME HERE], battery life was amazing! My battery only drained 8% after 6 hours. But I just made a phone call and it drained my battery over 50%! What gives?

This is to everyone concerning battery life when flashing new ROMs. Battery stats are stored in the "data" partition.

Let me repeat that. Battery stats are stored in the DATA PARTITION.

Whenever you wipe/format "/data", you lose your battery stats. This can cause your battery to appear to drain very slowly and then suddenly drop very steeply. You may even see your battery go from having 15% remaining to your phone suddenly dying (not cleanly shutting down, but flat-out losing power).

The only way to know for sure what your battery life is going to be like when you re-flash is to completely charge/discharge the battery a few times.

It doesn't matter if you've "calibrated" the battery in the past, because you lost that when you wiped your data partition.

I'm posting this because I've seen some wildly different (if not downright incorrect) info about battery life in both this and other threads. And the real bottom line here is that rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time. I purchased my Hero in Nov 2009 (and still use the original battery), so there is no way I am going to get as good of battery life as those of you with newer phones.

Just remember to actually charge/discharge your battery a few times whenever you re-flash. You'll save yourself (and everyone else) some confusion.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
For the battery I all ways flash roms and what ever. With my phone fully charged and plugged in. That way when I wipe and or format data in recovery. I all ways start with a full charge. Never had any problem except when I first started flashing with bat around 50% and had some fast bat drainage.
