[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kthulhu_ESP:
I was going to make the same question but found your post. :p

I recently bought two galaxy S and one of them has a problem with the earpiece: when making a phone call there is a crakling sound (like an interference or electric spark). This does not happens all the time and it is very low but when it starts usually it continues into the conversation and sometimes can be quite anyoing. :mad:

I realized this because I have two phones at home and becasue I test every bit of hardware of them , in order to exchange the phone asap if I found a hardware problem.

Maybe this is a common fault: take you SGS, make a phone call and listen very carefully to the earpiece before the rigntones start. Do you hear anything? I can hear a soft crakcling or pure silent depending which pnone I use.

As it is now, it is not a big deal but I am worried the crakling sound would increases in the future. Do you think I should try to exchange/fix my phone now that it is on warranty and I have not root, mod, etc..? :confused:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girn:
Hi, I bought a x10 off craigslist and it has 2.1 OS installed on it. I come from a htc magic which doesnt seem to have the same procedures as this phone for rooting, installing roms etc. My question is, how can I wipe the phone to start fresh from the custom rom? not from factory 1.6 rom, but to keep the same rom but erase all the info on it. also how can I tell what rom it is exactly where can I find that info? thx

btw* I dont have the "factory data reset" option on "SD card & phone storage" menu in settings

*edit again* tried installing busybox, it says the phone is not rooted! but it has 2.1 OS on it... weird, how can I factory reset then if I dont even have the option on settigs

You could use a different launcher.
[EVO 4G General] JoeLithium:
But what if we like sense and the widgets? I would like to see this too. Virus got it working on his desire z port. I don't see why this isn't possible.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
You sort of answered your own question. He ported a different version of sense that has that feature over to the Evo. That's how it's possible. Use a ROM that has it ported. I think several others are working on Z ROMs. Myn's got one in beta from what I hear.

Or if you're patient, I think we generally expect that version of Sense to make it's way to the Evo in an official release. Nothing's set in stone, of course.
[Droid 2 General] V.A.T.Juice:
I used to use the wifi tether app flawlessly. If I update to 2.0.6 it no longer works and needs a netfilter enabled kernel. I really need 2.0.6 since it supports infrastructure so I can tether to my nook color. I am pretty handy using adb if I have to. I have rom manager as well.

I'm just confused a bit. Right now I am stuck to 2.0.5 because I use it so much for work, my pc will support ad-hoc at least.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Well I think you sol right now. We can change kernels because of the locked bootloader (thanks motorola) and until we can crack it we can't do much with the kernel.
[Droid 2 General] miketoasty:
You only need to change kernel for extra security features. If it doesnt work then there is something you are doing wrong. It should work fine.

First things first, i'm not new to rooting I have an Evo 4G and love it, my wife has

an Epic and is having a lot of issues with battery life.

She's not an advanced user but definitely enjoys a lot of the features her phone does have to offer (Facebook sync and custom ringtones to be specific).

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good stable ROM for me to install to her phone and verify that it can be done after using this rooting method...

Do you want to stick with 2.1, or do you want to go up to unofficial 2.2?

For 2.1, I would suggest Syndicate ROM. For 2.2, if you don't want to mess with the ext4 conversion, I would suggest Bonsai4All 1.1.4.

Make sure you get an overclocker to go with syndicates xtreme kernel....

Overclock widget is nice and free, but as far as syndicate goes, I've had much better luck with the paid app setCPU. Plus its more flexible and you can set up the right over/under clocking conditions so she'll never have to worry about it, while providing her better battery life and performance

I'm all for going the tweak method since my wife has a similar issue. But for 20 bucks you can get a 3500mAh battery on ebay from china and avoid the blame when her Facebook wont sync or someother unrelated issue. I have been down this road. I put my wife on midNIGHT 2.9 and it gives a pretty good jump in battery life...but had to suffer the wrath when the contacts didn't sync the same. So trust me if your wife isn't into this stuff...take the easy route. I did...put her back to stock and now she can't blame you for Android issues...haha.

How does Sprint go about choosing cities for 4G? Also, when will most smaller "cities" finally have 4G? A year from now? Sooner, later? Does Sprint have any publication outlining their plans? I live Columbia, SC, and right now speeds are slllowwww on 3G. So when is YOUR city getting 4G? We've all been payin for it!
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
good luck finding that information out. I tried to contact sprint about those exact things and got the same bs over and over and over and over (yes four times :D)
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Slowly :p

I live in Greenville and someone that works for Clearwire said they have one tower in the area but that's it so far. I'm not getting my hopes up for a full rollout any time soon and after getting to use 4G recently, I don't really care anymore either. T-Mobile's 3G is faster than what I've personally seen from Sprint's 4G, my wife and I are switching this summer when our ETF drops to $50/line.
[EVO 4G General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I know. They pick a random city and provide customers with very spotty coverage that barely penetrates walls
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
You need to carry around a ghost buster battery pack to fully utilize 4G constantly any how. The only time I use 4G is when I'm plugged into a power source or to watch one video if needed. Almost useless pretty much, I'm in a 4G area and I'm using a rom without 4G and I'm just fine.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
you know...if you didnt have to toggle the radio, it would be alot better. i agree with you tmobile is kicking some ass and taking names...however our saving grace for me and us is the anymobile anytime stuff. If tmob got that going id etf it...I like sprint and my 22% discount but i could pay the same on tmobile for the 3 lines I have (since I dont have to pay a 10.00 fee per line) and I could get liek the dell streak or some other snazzy gsm phone. Really cdma I personally think is a dying technology.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:

They are doing it based on population size. I've also heard that there is a minimum population size to even be considered for 4g.

I have to agree with elegantai, that seems like the most likely answer. I'm definitely not complaining though, they just turned it on here within the last week.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Hey all. I generally use my A70 as my media player to and from work. But once I get on the train/around any loud noises, the sound gets drowned out. I have bought two different headphones to try and get better sound, but no luck.

I tried louder volume hack as well, but I couldn't get it to work properly.

Has anyone tried to create an audio booster specifically for Archos Gen8 devices?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macemoneta:
If you are in a loud environment, the idea isn't to increase the volume - that will lead to hearing damage. Instead, get a set of active noise cancelling headphones. Like these.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
This should probably go in the general forum. And if I put in earphones and turn up my a101, it's about 1dB from bursting my eardrums. I'll grant you that other devices WILL burst my eardrums when turned up fully, but if the background noise is that loud, I've already been deafened by it. Maybe you've got a resistor out of value that's dropping your output.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
For the Eris, we found that there were 2 files that were edited when volume was boosted. Someone then created a flashable zip to adjust the settings. Here is a link to the forum. Don't flash the zip! In the 1st post he has a non-flashable zip with his updataed settings. You could read the files (they are a couple of csv files, as I recall), compare with your settings on the Archos, and tweak yours.

I'd bet that you will need root in order to play with these on the Archos.

If nothing else, you could copy the files off the Archos, compare, and learn just for fun...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbop:
A little bit OT, but if you're in a noisy environment the best option is not always to increase the volume. If anything you should compensate for the ambient sounds with the device's equaliser. For example, in an aeroplane you would be better off compensating for the same frequencies as the noisy drone of the plane rather than pushing everything (including the bass and the treble). This will help avoid damage to hearing. In most cases of noisy environments (for instance, traffic or people chatter) the interference will mostl likely be somewhere in the mid range... Or, for another example, a bunch of guys having a noisy conversation will produce noise in the mid-bass range whereas some noisy girls will be more mid-treble.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjdalessio:
Even better than the active noise cancelling stuff is a good in-ear monitor with passive noise isolation, such as Etymotic or [url=http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-SuperFi-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B001CW13UQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1296927562&sr=8-7]Ultimate Ears make

I use UE's with the foam ear inserts and spend about 2.5hrs daily on the train commuting - on the A101it I am usually at about 25% volume and can clearly hear quiet passages in the classical I tend to listen to even as I'm walking past the engine on my way out of the station (big diesel type). There are other examples, but you want 25-30dB of passive attenuation - for the train, I really recommend the Comply foam tips if you find them comfortable - by far the best results both for sound and for attenuation.

The only headphones that might be too quiet are likely either very poor quality (exceedingly common these days - every iPod ships with some) or into the crazy expensive audiophile category where you probably already know about headphone amps... ;)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
This Bud's For You

For the record: I am not advocating hearing damage...just learning.

I agree that noise-canceling buds are the best option. I have some cheap (like $20 from WalMart) Phillips noise-canceling buds that I use when mowing. I reduces the background noise, but I can still hear when I mow over the kids toys.:D The sound quality isn't too bad, but hey...you're on a subway so your sound quality is shot anyway.

This is my question to those who over see the G-tablet at Viewsonic. Will we

be getting the a Google Android Honeycomb update? I am not asking for a date,

It would be dumb not to update this tablet to Honeycomb, due to the amazing

hardware this tablet possess. (Again JMO, FWIW) :)

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] KamikaZeeFu:
Ok so I'm pretty new to this, and have a small problem.

I have recompiled a framework-res.apk so I could have custom brightness levels and a notification pull down widget. It works just fine buw I have 1 small problem: some menu items went completely blank (see attached pictures). When I press the button I can actually read what it's supposed to say. This has only happened in setcpu so far, and I don't really now what's causing it.

I ran a diff with a framework where it doesn't happen and can't spot anything that could tell me where the error is...

Haven't found any other app that shows this error so far as well. So anyone encountered this yet or knows what png/xml could cause it?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] KamikaZeeFu:
Anyone? It's not serious but it annoys me
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] preacher65:
Hmm, it worked for me doing the same thing - and my SetCPU menus look okay. :confused:

How did you modify framework-res.apk? I used APK Manager 4.9, I decompiled framework-res.apk, edited arrays.xml, and recompiled. I said "yes" to system apk, "no" to copying files from original.

Also I had to replace the apktools 1.3.2 that came with APK Manager with the 1.3.1 version. (Go to http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list and search "deprecated downloads" for 1.3.1 and the 2.2_r01-2 dependencies.)

Could be either one of those things...?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
In any case you are sure you did not coincidentally messed with text colors in styles.xml or color folder?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] KamikaZeeFu:
I used the latest apk manager, without modifying it, might've been that. Nö changes to styles or color folder. Will try recompiling with apktools 1.31
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Wiingy:
sorry for bumping an old thread but -

I was playing around with auto-brightness values today.

I decompiled the ARHD 3.6 framework-res.apk using the latest apktools 1.3.2 and changed the autobrightness values, using notepad ++.

I rebuilt the apk then zipaligned it (zipalign -v -f 4 ). However, after flashing the new apk, my setcpu menu was out of whack and I couldn't see any scaling, all I could see were white boxes. Same as the OP.

---EDIT

Yea this worked thanks.

All the phone crap aside.... AT&T Nav runs circles around anything I've ever tried on my devices. I've been using it for years now (it started as TeleNav which it still is just re-branded) and it's accurate, easy to use and up to date. In 5 years at least I have NEVER been lead astray by it.
[Captivate General] gjgcomputers:
Have you compared to the Google app? Because I'll never pay for it if is the same thing as the Free app.
[Captivate General] mxracer101:
Yes, here is the short list...

Nav voice is much better and more realistic on ATT Nav

ATT Nav doesn't "jump around" when sitting at an intersection etc. Meaning... it's more accurate.

Better routes, which I attest to better GPS intterpritation. i.e. I live on a dead end road and sitting in my driveway ATT Nav always tells me to make a left out of my driveway (which is correct) Google Nav tells me to make a right, go down 500 ft. and make a u-turn.

Can't speak for Google on this one but I can search, update etc. my routes on the TeleNav site and then later sync with my phone and vice versa. Doesn't sound that big but looking up a 5 stop trip on my laptop and setting it up is much more appealing to me than on my phone.

I rely on GPS a lot so ATT Nav is my choice. If I didn't rely on it I would probably just use Google as well. My original post was kind of in the same vein as yours above... have any of the people who posted that ATT Nav sux used it?
