low in call volume? or low earphone volume?

I came from an x10 so trust me I know about low volume woes, as far as I can see so far my DZ is rediculously loud compared to the x10. though the only thing I haven't used yet is a bluetooth or wired headset so I can only comment on loudspeaker and handset speaker.

if I can do some testing today I will get back to u

Low call volume

It's loud in a quiet volume but if like in a public place, I can bearly hear anything
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptesmoke:
really? i find it awesome....if you know anyone with an x10 let them give you a chance to talk on it, it is seriously by far the worst call volume hands down! im so glad i made the switch back to an htc device.

if for some reason your getting low in call volume maybe look into getting it replaced with the warranty?

I have purchased several movies on Bluray that came with a digital copy. I’ve tried several times to download these movies to my Tab, but I get an error every time. I’ve tried using Windows media player and I-tune with no luck. Anyone know how to get these movies to play on the Tab?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
You most likely can't use those digital copies since they contain DRM that the Tab doesn't. What you can do is use the BR or DVD disc and just rip and covert to a Tab-friendly format. Handbrake works wonders for this. There's a thread in General about it.

About Kspec Oreo:

Oreo started out as a theme on the G1, it was a combination of graphics from the Hero and the oPhone. Over time it has evolved into many different shapes, but the basic idea is a theme that is black, blue, white, and sometimes green but using all original icons. Above anything else, this theme is for usability, its easy to see, easy to read, and looks like a default theme. Everything I create is a donation to the community so feel free to modify, change, and repost whatever you want.

Themeing Guide: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3000044/The Ultimate Android Themeing Guide.pdf

Changelog:

0.5.3

- Complete rebuild for CM7

- Default green status bar icons.

- Blue head bars and bottom bars.

- Honeycomb buttons and check boxes.

- Honeycomb popup menus with blue glow.

- Comes with the lib file for Swype so its ready to install.

- Kspec media collection

- Arial font

Gimme some feedback:

- Should I create an alternate version with blue status bar icons?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brandenk:
Creating all of the images was the hard part. But I will see if I can find all of the rest of the stock images from the various ROMs and put together at least a pack of all the images you will need.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] punkmonkey1984:
Thanks, much appreciated, i tried resizing some a few weeks ago but could not get them to render right, im no good at photoshop really, just the basic knowledge, read something about it being a .9 pngs or something, its beyond my knowledge
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brandenk:
Most of the non-.9.png files are indexed and the easiest way in my opinion to make them usable is to use program like VSO Image Resizer to "resize" all of the images (that are the same size, i.e. all of the 38x38 icons) to the same size, basically removing the layers and making them an RGB image. The .9.pngs are a little tougher.

It has been brought to my attention, and to many others, that the average Android application, has a lack in design and the ability to present its self as an application of great use, because of it's looks.

The point of this thread is to list and assist those developers in need.

We will start by creating a list of current applications that are useful, but lack in the design area, we will then contact the developer asking if they would like assistance. If so, we assign a graphic designer to the application and they work with the developer to recreate the applications design until the developer is happy.

We will also reach out to new developers looking for assistance, if you are looking for a graphic designer, do not be afraid to ask!

[Android Apps and Games] Asphyx:
If this is truly a movement as opposed to a service offering might I suggest that you get together with the developers and come up with a standardized API for skinning or allowing user customization as well?
[Android Apps and Games] AbsoluteDesignz:
We are hoping to create a base of designers that several app devs can reach out to if they feel their apps are subpar in the design department. Get apps to shy away from the very basic black BG w/ grey buttons or iPhone style interfaces.

We want Android apps to reach their true potential and no longer be bombarded with all of these horrible looking apps or apps that do not match the stock Android experience (good icons that simply do not match, iPhone UI, etc)

Android does allow a lot of room for app varience, but there has to be some consistency when it comes to icon, UI, and UX design. even widget appearance.

I hate seeing screenshots where it looks like a bunch of first graders grabbed any kind of crayon and wrote all over a wall with no rhyme or reason.

Check out these apps to see good design:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.threebanana.notes

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tvshowfavs

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.evernote

But those are just basic designs...you can get non-standard but still be visually appealing. Android lacks that in some of the most useful apps. that shouldn't be.

I'm on CM7 build 27, and I noticed that the battery is being depleted by the Cell standby more than they display, which is odd because the display has been on for most of the time. from about 80 percent of a charge down to about 25, the battery has only lasted for 4 hours and 32 minutes, which kinda disappoints me. why is the battery being so heavily raped?

How I solved my battery drain problem!

Have you tried turning off 3G?

I also had this issue battery drain was huge. It started appearing suddenly one day. Its a very slow process to figure out the culprit. I did a step by step analysis.

1. Found out that battery drain was happening only when 3G was on. Verified this by switching off data network (long press power button to deactivate).

2. Also verified abnormal data usage in my carrier page when I was not using my phone [like - 3G was on and I was watching a movie at a theater].

3. I also saw abnormal battery drain soon after I started Google Maps after a fresh reboot.

4. So I identified the culprit - Google Maps - but was not sure how to solve battery drain [Google Maps restarts, if you kill it].

5. I installed a variety of apps to identify the battery hog. Finally I went for Task Identifier.

6. Task Identifier finally showed me what programs started while my screen was off, etc. And I started noting them. Finally I figured out that Google Maps::BackgroundFriendService was running frequently.

7. A quick search on Google helped me understand that this is about Google Latitude. It searches for your friend's location every now and then - leading to battery drain!!! :mad:

8. I opened up Latitude and signed out from it [I guess the sign out option is in Menu -> Privacy].

9. Do not re-open Google Latitude after this - you will get signed in again leading to battery drain.

10. After 2-3 months of search and prodding, I finally figured out the cause of battery drain and fixed it - now I get 2 - 3 days of charge in my battery under normal usage!! :D

I'm happy now!!

Hi,

If you're using Froyo and can access file in your phone,

In task manager , on the tab "Summary", click on the "start monitoring" button. Let it monitor the phone over the night. The next morning, there should be 2 files created in your sdcard, one is CPUxxxxx and the other one is battxxxxxx.

The Batxxx tells you when the percentage of the battery at certain time of time. the CPUxxxx will tell you wht applications are running during that period.

When i used it first time, i notice that facebook and lattitude always running - when I stop these 2 tasks; i get a normal drain again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfannenwender:
while you guys are at it.

here's my "problem".

when I surf for an hour over 2g I losing about 10% batterylife and android reports that my display uses around 90% to 95% of the battery.

display is set to lowest brightness + screen filter.

is that normal? (im guessing it is not).

used dozens of different roms (stock, darky, jims, etc...), same behaviour everywhere.

i already did all the battery stat wiping and whatnot.

is it a faulty battery or display or something?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreeRangeChicken:
USB not recognized - how I fixed my problem

I've been beating my head over this for about a week. I've installed/uninstalled drivers a dozen times, cleaned the registry, deleted application data, etc.

The puzzling thing for me was that it had worked reliably for me at one time, and I had gotten it to work on a couple of other occasions through all of the gyrations above. The phone also works fine on another computer. WTF?

After a fair amount of googling I pieced together enough to start questioning the integrity of the USB connection. Some people said using a different cable worked, others said plugging into a different USB port worked.

What worked for me was moving the USB cable from the front panel connector on the computer to a back panel connector (soldered directly to the mother board). As I said before, others have said changing cables worked for them.

I suspect that the phone's USB signal integrity is marginal (possibly bad impedance matching). Add to that questionable quality control on cabling inside and outside the computer.

Anyway, try connecting to a different port on the computer and/or changing your usb cable.

Fix USB Device Not Recognized

I went through the biggest search to try and fix this issue. Connected my Vibrant on different computers(different OS's) and found not a single solution along with drivers. Tried different usb cables and nothing but the same error. Look inside the usb port of the phone.....ah ha!!! small amount of lint managed its way in there and stuck to the pins. I was able to charge so it never occurred to me up until last night when I wanted to put in a new ROM. I used a thumb tack and carefully cleaned the port( REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE PHONE BEFORE DOING THIS!!!)

Also make sure the cable didn't suck up some of the lint too. this happened to me too.
