Cyanogenmod ROMs are appearing on the devs section, but I gotta ask you, what it that it has that makes it better than the stock froyo?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratmkicksass:
Try getting some info at... cyanogenmod com
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
its a tweaked/optimised version of AOSP Android.

The current build is CyanogenMod 7.0.0 and is based on Gingerbread 2.3 Android, but all the ones that have been ported to our beloved x10 so far have been CyanogenMod 6, which is FroYo based.

It is quite a bit faster, allows you to customise it yourself (via a simple menu interface) and has several apps that are otherwise unavailable on certain handsets. There are many more differences but that is the basics anyway. As old mate said above, you can find out more at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

I've noticed my phone always starts to ring at where I set the volume to and then escalates to be very loud after a few seconds. I didnt see any settings to change this. Is this happening to anybody else?
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
Is it in your pocket when it does that?

I noticed in the HTC Sense demo video it says if it is in your pocket or purse it will ring loud so you can hear it. I think it has to do with proximity and light sources. If i have it sitting out, it will ring quietly, but it is always loud in my pocket.
[EVO Shift 4G General] fifedogg:
Actually yeah. Thats usually when it gets loud. I dont really like that as it gets super loud sometimes. Why wouldnt they have a setting for this?
[EVO Shift 4G General] alphanimal:
Any news on this? Because I also find it quite annoying that the ringer is so loud even when I'm sitting in the quiet office...
[EVO Shift 4G General] rjd728:
I have the same issue! It happens on ALL Sense ROM's. If I am running AOSP (CM6 or MIUI) it is not an issue. Are there any ways to disable this setting if it is supposed to do so? Mine is on my belt in a case and when I'm in the office it rings way too loud. If the phone is on my desk it rings as I have the volume set.
[EVO Shift 4G General] alphanimal:
Actually I found you can disable the loud ringer in settings really easy

Settings --> Sound --> Pocket mode

There's no way to adjust the volume though,
[EVO Shift 4G General] rjd728:
Apparently the Shift has the same issue as my EVO or as Sprint would call it..."feature".

http://forum.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=669629#post669629

You would think there was an app out there to override this.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hausman:
What device/ROM are you running? There is no setting for Pocket mode under settings -> sound on the stock EVO Shift 4G (at least not on mine). Anyone else find this?
[EVO Shift 4G General] alphanimal:
I have a Desire Z with the original ROM (Froyo + Sense)
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
that setting dont apply to shift
[EVO Shift 4G General] rjd728:
Did a complete wipe 2x using Amon Ra Recovery 2.3 and then flashed a stock image file from HBOOT and updated WiMAX, PRI & NV Radio. The issue was not present on the stock ROM. Wiped the stock ROM and flashed Myn's RLS5.....no more issues. Something was corrupt and enabled the sensor to trigger ring loud (when covered or senses low light) as it is designed to do on the Shift. The EVO does not have Pocket Mode in settings. Whatever the cause.....it is now resolved! :cool:
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
I sent a tweet in the direction of @htc about this yesterday, but they haven't answered. Hopefully we get an update that gives us a 2.x release of sense, not this weird "you have some of the features of new sense but not the whole package." The other feature that I know is there is the one where you can flip the phone over to silence the ring, and in fact, BOTH features are undocumented - the user manual for the shift doesn't mention declining a call by flipping the phone OR the word pocket except in warnings about where not to keep it.

I don't have any hope of a satisfactory answer, though, because in an earlier answer to someone about bugs, they said to submit something at htc.com/support and make sure to mark it a bug report - you can't do that anywhere on the email form and the other two options for support aren't things you "submit." The two times I've contacted them by email were also tremendous disappointments, so... there you go.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hausman:
Tried to second your post on HTC's support forum but their forum software is misconfigured and my email server is rejecting their mail because it is not a fully-qualified hostname. Meh. Like you, I don't hold out enough hope of a fix to bother with the registration process.

You mentioned flip to silence, but there is actually a setting on the Evo Shift 4G to silence the ringtone when the phone is moved. It's under settings - sounds, and it is "quiet ring on pickup". Since the action of flipping the phone involves moving it, I wonder if you are seeing that setting working when you flip your phone over. My phone stops ringing (if it's not in a pocket) when I pick it up off the table. It doesn't decline the call, it just stops the ringer.

Edit: eh, I made an allowance on my mail server so HTC's misconfigured SMTP server could send my activation message and let me register.

By the way, I posted a workaround on Android Central that works for the way I use the phone. I created a silent ringtone. Then I set the phone to vibrate as well. So in my pocket I feel/hear the vibration but I don't get the ridiculously-loud rings. But I can hear my notifications at normal volume. When the phone is on my desk, the vibration and screen lighting up are enough of an alert for me. Obviously this won't work if you ever keep the phone in a bag or somewhere that you can't hear or feel the vibration, but it works for me as a pocket user.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
Three ticks up from silenced on the volume rocker:

Picking the phone up off my desk quiets the ring, flipping it silences the ring. I wonder if turning off quiet ring on pickup will turn off flip to silence... might as well try it.

aaand no it doesn't. Pickup didn't quiet (per the setting now being off) but flip still did silence the ring.

Interesting note: flip-to-silence is actually a silencer; it doesn't decline the call immediately.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/112/t/9935.aspx

For anyone else that wants to weigh in on the issue on the official HTC support forum. Maybe they won't ignore us too hard.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hausman:
Ok, makes sense - since I use a silent ringtone, the "quiet" and "silent" are the same to me, LOL. But yes, it doesn't decline the call.

I actually liked the Touch Pro2 where flipping during a call would turn on the speakerphone. Why can't they keep good features like that instead of forcing this new stuff down our throats with no option to turn it off.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
Bump/Update: After two tweets on the issue and an entire week of the post I made sitting on the HTC forums, I have had enough of being ignored and went to the email support option.

I'm not resetting my phone again, so I instead borrowed the New Issue text from Google Code project pages and sent steps to duplicate.

Anybody else that might have this problem is welcome to weigh in; I gave links to this thread and the one over on Android Central in my forum post on HTC, which is linked in the support message I sent.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
Another update: Today I received my response; I don't have to reset my phone (yet) and my concern is being escalated to whatever the next level of CS is called.

They say escalated department is first-come, first-served, so it may be a while before I know more.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hausman:
The problem is that HTC sees this as a feature, not a bug. They market this as a way to hear your phone when it's in a bag. While it makes perfect sense to us end-users to have an option to turn this off, from a lab testing standpoint it's not a priority because the function works as designed. If HTC had really thought this through, they should realize that there are some things phones should never do, and ringing at maximum volume unless specifically directed by the user is one of them.

The funny thing is that I'd like almost the exact opposite behavior. I'd prefer the phone to ring (quietly) on my desk, and automatically switch to vibrate when it's in my pocket (as determined by the prox sensor). But people who carry their phones in bags or purses wouldn't benefit from this option. Everybody's needs are different; HTC just determined what they think is the most common scenario and coded Sense that way. I have to give them credit for thinking up the idea, but since it doesn't work for everyone it should be more flexible.

Thanks for taking the time to bring this to their attention. It may well be that a couple of generations of phones from now we'll start seeing more options in these settings, which would be fantastic.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
Update: HTC has been calling me at work, once yesterday once today. I have not been at work this week but will be in tomorrow; they gave me a number to call if I wanted to get in touch with them sooner. I will be calling them back as soon as I'm done with my planned tasks tomorrow (assuming they haven't called me first).

Here's hoping news about when we get an update that stops this nonsense comes swiftly!
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
Another update: I spoke to my representative today. The behaviors are not supposed to be a part of Sense 1.0 at all. I tried to demonstrate while on the phone with him and Sprint's lack of presence on my campus prevented the ringer from activating, of course, but he's putting in a call to corporate to verify.

I probably won't hear back until Monday. In the meantime, I'm installing Skype to better be able to test things out while I'm here, since running into the other room to make a call isn't a great solution.

Props to HTC for having courteous and friendly phone service reps!
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
I think to fix it we just need gingerbread and sense 2.0
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
Probably, and that would be awesome for other reasons, but I don't want to wait indefinitely for control over a half-implemented feature I didn't want to begin with.

Hopefully, this can result in a maintenance release that does one of two things: disables it outright or adds a setting to shut it off.

For what it's worth, I forgot to add this before - I am the first person to have reported this issue to HTC. *MY SPECULATION* is that the feature being enabled means they pulled some code off an internal source repository they shouldn't have. Hopefully that's an easy fix.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
If anyone is still following -

I got another followup call today and this issue is now "sitting in front of corporate." They're going to start researching it and get back to me at some point.

Good thing, too - two days ago, I was walking the dog down the street at 9:30pm... nice quiet night on the cul de sac and brrrrrrring[bzz bzz] BRRRRRRRING [bzz bzz] BRRRRRRRRRING[bzz bzz]

I couldn't get the phone out of my pocket before four rings had happened and probably woke everyone within a 10 mile radius.

I love being annoying!
[EVO Shift 4G General] hausman:
Yes, I'm still following this thread and your progress - great work!
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
Update!

I got a call today from my rep; he asked me for a logcat output which I provided as soon as I had figured out where my phone went.

Sent and thanked for it. I took a look after it went and noticed the set of lines that seem to explain the process by which the volume is increasing.

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:14, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:14, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:14, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:28, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:42, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:57, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:71, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:85, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:100, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:100, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

...

D/AudioSystem( 1266): linearToSpecifyHtcVolume(volume:100, streamType:2, audio_devices:2)

Right at where the volume increases from 14 to 28, there is a line:

D/Sensors ( 1356): M-Sensor status 0

The only other incidence of M-Sensor is this, right after when I disconnected the call and pulled the phone out of my pocket

D/Sensors ( 1356): M-Sensor status 32767

So, this is off to magical HTC land. Hopefully they see the same thing I do, but no - none of us are making this up. I don't know what M-Sensor is, but I assume it's the proximity sensor; I don't really have a way to verify but seeing as how 0 and 32767 correspond roughly to a range of "Off" to "On" then...

Huzzah.
[General Questions and Answers] naftasantos:
Hi guys,

I used AndEngine to develop a game for Android. On most devices the game runs normally. But two devices appeared to develop a strange behavior, with the image distorted.

The phones that developed the problem are:

Motorola Cliq XT - Android 2.1 (Blur_Version.2.1.54.T-Mobile.en.US)

HTC Magic - Android 2.1 (Stock)

They both have in common the Android version and the resolution.

Here's how the game is drawn to them:

img46 (dot) imageshack (dot) us / img46 / 7038 / deviceuc (dot) png

They say everything else seems to be ok. Responds to touch and even turns the music on.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

PS.: Already changed the TextureOptions, but didn't work.

Thank you in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmason92:
I was wondering which Rom as off right now uses the least amount of battery right out of the box? Ive had tried almost all of them yet im not sure if i can tell a significant difference, yet they all seem to use a lot of battery just leaving idle. Im not asking which has the most features or looks the coolest, just which one the community sees a significance with battery power. I plan on theming it over afterwards so i dont care for aesthetics.

When i connect my phone to laptop in the hboot menu and hit hboot usb its sayin driver unsuccessfully installed. Before my phone was rooted thus process was simple. I would follow the instructions on unrevoked website and when i looked under device manager it would say android device. Is the fact my phone is rooted causing the issue?

This is the latest Sprint PRL extracted from my Touch Pro 2. If you have the ability to use the stock update PRL tool to get the update great! If not the file is attached below for manual update. I will try and keep this thread updated with all the latest sprint PRL's as they come!

How to manually update PRL:

1. Download and unzip prl file to storage card

2. Dial ##775#

3. Enter your MSL code

4. Select menu then edit

5. Browse to the location you unzipped the prl file to

6. Select the prl file, press ok

7. Press ok again

8. Select yes, phone will restart

Thats it! You have successfully manually updated your prl!

Having trouble finding your MSL? Go to post #2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Ok, since the only manual method of grabbing the MSL can be a bit intimidating to new users and requires a reg editor and a file explorer like total commander, PpcGeeks member "krohnjw" wrote a quick app to enable/disable logging and then read/parse the log file to display your MSL.

Attached is the cab which will install the following:

- The application (13k), a Readme with some more info as far as what it does exactly, and some contact info.

Must have .net 3.5 CF installed.

Credits go to pzztgotbagz for posting the method and strra for reposting it and motivating him to code a solution for folks.

edit:.

v0.5: Added a save option after MSL is grabbed. Will default to \Storage Card\msl.txt and bounce to \ if \storage card is not present.

v0.4: minimal changes to menu structure init. Added .net CF 3.5 cab

v0.3: minimal changes to exit code.

Added v0.2: Removed requirement to disable logging before grabbing MSL.

[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
So, Sprint called me today to inform me that they are dropping my service because of excessive data roaming. They are not charging me an ETF and they are giving my 250$ deposit back. I am not upset about that, I am upset about not being able to use my Evo and the community that comes with it. I will miss the HTC XDA community if I have to go to Motorola or LG or SE.

My only choice when it comes to coverage is Verizon. The only phone that seems to be on the horizon is the Bionic that comes with LTE. I don't want the Droid X or Droid 2 because LTE is about to launch and would enjoy to have it, along with that sweet sweet dual core. Bionic seems to be the best bet, but I remember hearing something LG dropping a phone soon too.

My main question is, what Android phones are coming out this year with LTE and dual core? I don't mind being without phone service for a few months waiting.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
wow, may I ask what your excessive data usage amounted to?
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Of course.

It wasn't really excessive it was just that the majority of it was roaming. I only get Verizon coverage at work where I use my phone the most (when it comes to data, have WiFi at home) so I used the PRL hack to be on it all the time. I heard about them being upset about this and I was expecting at least a warning but they are straight up dropping my service.

My average data usage was 4 to 5GB on roaming with around 300-400mb on Sprint for the past 4-5 months.
[EVO 4G General] skillzo1:
Noob question...how do you know you are recieving roaming data? I have been complaining about horrible data speeds and told them i want to cancle with no fee. They said they basically base that off of calls dropped.and not data. I uae my phone minimal for calling but data is another story and it is horribly slow.
[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
Verizon has a HTC android coming out soon, it's suppose to be a really good one. Sorry I cannot remember the name of it, but when I get a chance I will post it back in here with a link for you. Sorry to hear about Sprint. Did you use the data hack by any chance?(sorry, posted above) If so that's why I never jumped on board with that. Good luck, hopefully you'll still be here on XDA.

Doesn't the Unlimited Plan include free roaming?? Where is there verbiage about "excessive roaming"?? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
that sucks. Unlike some ISP's for land lines which come to agreements so each can freely use the others networks, I don't think any wireless providers do anything of the sorts. While its ****ty they didnt give you a warning, i'm sure they were probably paying up the ass to verizon.

Well, best of luck to you!
