[Xoom General] FuturePrimitive:
Its not rubber coated plastic. I don't know exactly what it is but mine feels like bare aluminum. Cold to the touch, no rubbery feeling at all. And very resistant to scratching. I have the folio case but take it out any chance I get (feels much better nekid), there is not a single scratch on mine anywhere.

is the build number supposed to be dh12? i was expecting di01 dj05 or dl09. i just wanna make sure the phone is perfect so i can send it back through warranty without being charged any money. Thank you :)
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
DH12 was the original. You should be able to OTA to DL09.
[Fascinate General] kent1146:
If all you care about is just getting a stock OS on the phone for warranty / RMA purposes, then any stock ROM should work.

But if it somehow benefits you, you can download a DL09 package that can be flashed directly through Odin. You can easily find links in the Development forum here.
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
not entirely true.. CWM would also need to removed so he would have to do a full odin restore to flash the stock kernel, rom, and recovery.

as stated above though, just do an OTA update and youll be updated to DL09

[HTC Aria General] hov215:
I have rooted my HTC Aria which is currently running 2.1. I also have ClockWorkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 and the liberated_aria_FR008_signed.zip ROM for attn1. But when I try to install the ROM is looks as if it is starting to install but then when it says installing or something like that it jumps back to the Recovery menu screen and does not seem as if it has installed it completely. So I have tried this couple times and have rebooted through recovery and it just starts up as a restored version of 2.1 that was originally on my phone. Not sure what I am doing wrong. It seems as if everyone does this with such ease. Please help.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Number 1 mistake is booting into ClockworkMod with the USB cable connected. Disconnect the USB cable before you boot into ClockworkMod to flash the new ROM.
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
I have done that. USB was not attached to phone when booted into ClockworkMod. I just don't know why the ROM is not installing correctly. Anything else you can tell I may have done wrong?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
You should make sure that you have a good download of the ROM by comparing the MD5 checksum of the zip file on your SD card with the MD5 checksum on the download page.
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
Not sure how to do that.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Did you download the ROM file to a PC and then copy it to the SD card? If so then here is a Windows version of md5sum that you can run and generate the MD5 checksum. Then compare that with the MD5 value this is on the download page. If the values don't match, then try downloading the ROM file again.

If you downloaded directly to the SD card, then you can make a "adb shell" connection and run the md5sum program on the phone to check the zip file.
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
thanks. i am using a Mac and don't see any link or attachment with the program you are referring to.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Then it looks like Google will be your friend. I'm sure the Mac can generate MD5 checksums in some manner.

Anyway, so did you download to the Mac first and then copy it to the SD card or did you download it directly to the SD card?
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
downloaded to the Mac first and then .zipped it because my downloader auto-unzips files. then i dragged onto my SD card. Then unplugged USB and then booted into ClockWork Recovery. Did the restore and empty cache steps and attempted to install the Liberated ROM. It seems like it is installing but never seems to say complete. so then i reboot and it still goes to 2.1
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
i boot into recovery mode then i restore to factory settings, then i empty devlk cache which seems to not even run but just shoot back to the menu when i hit "YES". Then I go to install the ROM but it doesn't seem to be installing completely
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
As it is installing, what is it displaying on the bottom of the screen?
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
Try downloading from your phone browser. It may be the whole, unzip /rezip process that's fuxing it up.
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
It says:

"Finding update package"

"Opening update package"

"Installing update..."

But it does all that really fast and then just goes back to the ClockWorkMod menu screen. Then I try and reboot and it is still 2.1
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
You are selecting the "choose zip from sdcard" in ClockworkMod, right?
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
Yes, I am trying to download directly from browser to the SD Card this time and see if that works.
[HTC Aria General] hov215:
Thank you so much!!! That was it! I downloaded the .zip file straight from my phone's browser to my SD Card and installed via recovery mode and it worked perfectly. Now running 2.2 perfectly.

You are a genius to walk me through that.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontornblom:
Does anybody have an idea why my phone drains lots of battery and constantly reboots, but only when I'm in an area where the signal cuts in and out (like a basement)?

Does the radio use more voltage or current to try and find a signal?

Thanks for the help. It's driving me nuts! lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarBird87:
yes it does, and i believe it reboots to try to restart the radio and see if it can find a signal that way.

[G1 General] paudav:
I'm building a simple G1 based solution to track my car using the phone's GPS capabilities.

Basically, the desired solution is that the G1 is wired to the car's accessory power system, and when the car is either started or the key is in the accessory position, the phone will be turned on and report its GPS coordinates occasionally.

I have most of the pieces put together for this... A G1 running cyanogenmod 6.1, a hacked up car charger that I can wire directly to car power, and some preliminary test software.

My problem, is that the phone doesn't automatically power up when plugged in. The problem scenario will be something like:

1) Car turns off

2) Phone goes on battery power.

3) I go on vacation and don't drive the car for two weeks.

4) Phone battery dies at some point.

5) Restart the car.

6) Battery starts charging. Phone never turns on. GPS tracking does not resume.

Any ideas on how to work around number 6? I don't supposed there's a firmware mod or something that changes the power-on behavior?

All ideas (even crazy mechanical ones) are welcome.

-Paul B. Davis
[G1 General] tribalartgod:
This is just an idea, so don't read too far into this...

How willing are you to modify the phone?

Here's why:

Ok...When you push the power button, it completes a circuit, causing the phone to power on.

1. Mod the phone, with a relay. This relay would switch one time per power cycle. Allowing for a quick one time completion of the power circuit, forcing the phone to power on when the car does. ...Turn the car off, the relay clicks again, turning the phone off. (Set the power button to turn off when pressed instead of sleep.) ..You could also go as far as to use a software mod to have the phone start a macro when the power button is pushed. This macro saves current state of whatever is running, then powers off. there are paid apps to do this BTW.

2. Set this program you will be using to autostart with the phone.

Viola... Problem solved. :-) ...Easier said than done, I know. Just a thought though. Great idea BTW.
[G1 General] vladmaster99:
G1 Car Phone Power

Easer said than done.

Is a bit of an understatement.

even takeing off the case and seting up a relay onto the on/off button would not be a very neat solution. As a ciruit connected simply to the on/off button would not know the current state of the phone .

Is it off yet? is it on yet.

And simply checking the charging current would not reliably tell you if the phone is on or off . So you would need to find a power pin on the processor tracks that is held to vcc when the phone is on.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
[G1 General] paudav:
This turned out to be an interesting project (and a PITA). I'll post pics at some point before I permanently deploy.

What I ended up doing was sort of splitting the difference on the relay issue.

As you suggested, I ultimately could not find anything approaching a software/firmware based solution for power-up on charger connect. To solve this problem, I took the phone apart until I got to the front button panel, and soldered small leads to the two sides of the power switch.

This was a particularly harrowing solder job, because the power switch conductors are actually tiny copper plates sealed into a flexible film. To get at them you have to partially dissect the film, remove the top half of the power's membrane switch, and then solder to the tiny plates without melting the film.

Anyway, once the leads were in place, I reassembled the phone. This was also a slight PITA because the front panel is engineered with no free space and now has to accommodate the new leads coming off the power switch.

After reassembly, I found a cheap timed relay circuit board that trips its relay for a variable length of seconds or minutes, and then goes dormant until being de-energized and then re-energized. I wired the relay to the power leads in parallel with a momentary power switch, wired the relay circuit to car power, set the circuit to 10 seconds, and it worked perfectly. Phone turns on every time.

It's not entirely deterministic, but I'm OK with it. Realistically, when has your phone ever NOT turned on when you held down the power button for 10 seconds?

The other half of the project was to catch the charger disconnect (car turning off) and power down. This was far simpler to implement, as the phone is rooted and I have access to everything I need to shut off.

I created a simple BroadcastReceiver that catches ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED and runs this little block of code to turn off the device:

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su -");
java.io.OutputStream os = proc.getOutputStream();
os.write("reboot -p\n".getBytes());
os.flush();
os.close();

I haven't tested it extensively, but it seems to work as expected every time.

I could make this a little more deterministic by creating a service that watches the charger connected state and initiates a shutdown when it notices a state change to "disconnected," but it's not clear to me that a BroadcastReceiver is any more unreliable than a service that can be pushed out of memory.

I loaded it all up into a little plastic case, and it seems to work pretty well, so far. :)

I installed Tasker a while ago, and have it doing a few things, but I see in different threads some people doing some really cool stuff, so I was wondering, what do you use Tasker for?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morehush:
Just last night I figured out how to get it to tell me who is calling me if I have my headphones with a mic plugged in. The only other thing I've done is make auto-rotation turn on when I open Gallery and turn off when I exit.

Trying to think of other stuff to get it to do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlunkie:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaLiBLeeK:
There's a Tasker Wiki that has some good profile ideas here:

http://tasker.wikidot.com/

Here's all the stuff I have setup through Tasker right now, haha:

- Phone brightness goes to lowest level from midnight-6am.

- Silent mode turns on when headphones are plugged in.

- Silent mode turns on when phone is positioned face down.

- Silent mode turns on, Wifi/GPS/BT turn off between 8am-5pm (when I'm at work).

- TweetDeck/Voodoo App start up on boot.

- Data usage check via SMS automatically at 6:30am every day.

- GPS/BT turn off when I'm connected to Wifi, turn on when Wifi is out of range.

- Silent mode turns on when FxCamera is opened.

- GPS is turned on when RunKeeper is opened.

- Auto-rotate is turned on when certain apps are opened.

Tasker is easily the best app I've bought in the Market. PowerAMP is a close 2nd. Haha.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morehush:
I think I just got the idea from being frustrated that the gallery hides the pull-down bar. It's simple though:

New task>context>Gallery

Display>rotation>on

It automatically turns itself off without having to add an exit task. As a matter of fact, if you add an exit task to turn rotation back off, it gets stuck sometimes.

-when I turn my car on and it connects to the BT, it will automatically turn on GPS, Pandora and turn up the media volume (in case it was turned down before).

-when I turn the car off, GPS turns off and Pandora closes

-When I'm at work, a different ringtone is enabled and all volumes is turned down.

-when I leave work, my normal ringtone is re-enabled and all volumes are back high.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeekDragon:
I really love Tasker. My 2 main uses are

1. Between the hours of 10pm and 6am, Tasker mutes my phone. If a call comes, it sends a text message to caller saying that I'm down for the night. If it's an emergency, the caller will have other numbers they can call. If I get a text message, it sends a auto reply of some sort but if it deals with golf, it will turn up the volume and play a song from Caddie Shack. I don't want to miss out on an early tee time!

2. I use Macs and have a music service set up that plays music throughout the house using various Airport Expresses and speakers via Airfoil. Speakers that I'm always playing to are the outdoor speakers (I live out in the country so let it rip!). I use Tasker to control volume, change stations or music services (Slacker, Pandora, iTunes, etc) and other music/video related items. The main conduit being iChat on the Mac and Google Talk on my Android thus being within range of the wireless access point is not necessary. Using SL4A and Python on the Android with Tasker allows for some very powerful scripting to happen. This in turn gets sent to the Mac via Google Talk and converted to applescripts for controlling all the apps and devices. The best part is that it's very powerful but easy to program, inexpensive and most important. very very reliable! Try that with a Sonos or Logitech Squeezebox.

Ummm… maybe I should write up details about this setup...

:)

how to change pandora station?

Sorry for the noob reply to such an old post, but have been looking all over these forums and elsewhere and just can't find the answer. How did you use tasker to change pandora stations? If not Pandora, any other Internet radio service would do. Eventual goal is to set up some presets in Car Home to select channels while driving in a single touch, and I can use whichever web service executes this function best.

Thanks!

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphova:
Hi,

Firstly I have searched for 3 hours now and this is urgent and for a good cause. I'm lost. Please spare me the "search button" lecture. I haven't been here in years and had no idea it would still be so busy (the X1 forum I mean).

I desperately need to find a ROM (any X1 ROM - WinMo/Android/whatever) that can play most video formats well without the custom re-coding route that I've seen in other threads (NB). I know how to flash etc., I just haven't used my X1 in years and hence am out of touch with this part of the forum.

I have until tomorrow afternoon to donate a phone to a friend who will most likely spend weeks immobile in a hospital bed going insane from boredom. He has no laptop (hence no re-coding), can't read books and has no iPod or anything. He's allowed a cellphone and earphones. Please help me help him.

Last I knew the X1's video playback was crap (closed source or non-enabled drivers or something). Please point me to a ROM that can do that (if it's even happened) and possibly play music well as a bonus. Any other advice is appreciated.

Thank you!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
First of all any rom out there for the Xperia X1 can play music (either sound files, preferably mp3s, or radio in combination with earphones as antenna).

When it comes to video playback the situation is still the same: The Xperia X1 supports high quality playback using mp4 (h.264 avc codec) which means you have to convert movies to the appropriate format. Another solution would be to use either TCPMP or Core Player. Both of them support various formats but they are not hardware accelerated on the Xperia X1 meaning everything above 480 X 320 is out of range. And I don't think there is a rom available that extends hardware acceleration support to other formats than h.264 avc.
