[HD2 General] htc-hd2:
I had the same problem over and over again, so I decided to open the HD2 ( following this info: http://tcrn.ch/pErvIr )

The speaker is connected to the main board with two small springs.

I cleaned the springs a bit, and made them a bit longer (by pulling them).

The sound is now working 100%, but now I've got another problem.. WiFi

As long as I'm next to my AP, WiFi is working (low signal), but as soon as I move away from the AP, no more WiFi (no signal)

I'm sure that it's an antenna problem within the HD2, and will open it up again to see if I can fix it.
[HD2 General] htc-hd2:
Okay.. Fixed it.

The WiFi connector got disconnected when opening the HD2 (see pic)

See here the small springs on the speaker that I'm talking about.
[HD2 General] armored:
You guys rule. I poured over my wifes phone for 10 hours last night. Geeze, next time I'll remember that google is my friend :)

CONFIRMED: the fingers on the speaker method worked for me. Thanks for the info guys!
[HD2 General] spirosz:
Hi,

Thank you ..... I follow your advice and it worked..... I also spayed the contact with electric contact degreaser. Now my phone sound perfect.

Thank you ..:):):)

[HD2 General] hittzman:
I experienced my HD2 speaker not working for about 30 minutes, a couple weeks ago, (prior to flashing Android Gingerbread 2.3.7. I just could not get the speaker to work, ( music or speaker phone. After flashing it with Android I have not had anymore speaker problems at all. I never tapped it or shook the phone at all. I wonder could it be a software problem? I have heard complaints about the HD2 speaker stopping to function intermittently. Again mine has not had that issue since I flashed with Android.
[HD2 General] Kusay:
nice one I tried it for my friend hd2 and it worked
[HD2 General] erwinpiero:
several days ago i also dismantling my HD2, speaker just won't work, open it and found that springs pin that sticks to the pcb plate was dirty, clean with alcohol and yeah it's working again. Just sharing, it isn't to hard to do and you will had new experience
[HD2 General] CRO_Misho:
Thanx! It worked! :)

I have used a small knife and hit the speaker few times with the wooden handle. No damage, speaker works :)

@lepeff wow it worked for me too:eek:
[HD2 General] fsv:

I have to say I had the exact same problem and I didn't believe that your solution of bumping the phone on something hard worked. With disbelief I started doing it and guess what? It's fixed!

Thank you guys so much for this great tip :D

Cool..this bump therapy works.

I dropped my 2.5 yrs old HTC HD2 on a hard surface and the speaker stopped working. I gently pressed and applied thumb pressure on the speaker and it started to work.

Depends if you want S-OFF or not. Gfree gives you full radio S-OFF, which is much safer than if you only have the "fake" S-OFF from the eng hboot.

Also, gfree gives you SuperCID and SIM unlock too.

Can I change any of the dropdown notification bar power controls?

Specifically, the flashlight is only using one of the LEDs (the bottom one) and isn't really bright enough. If I use another widget (SwitchPro widget, for example) then the flashlight turns on full blast.

But, given the convenience of having it in the dropdown, I was hoping that there was a setting somewhere buried that I haven't seen. Any way to change those actions?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitht:
I had no problems copying the files to the xoom. The problem is once you get them there, your video will likely stutter and have no sound. The video playback on most vids I have tried are horrible.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitht:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaylward:
Having same problem with Windows 7...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdcatalyst:
Uninstall the DIVX codec from both computers.

For some reason, DIVX tries to access the files, which results in an windows-explorer crash. Filesize isn't an issue (well, 7GB worked for me).

It doesn't have much purpose unless you are using non-HD MKV files though. If the MKV has x264/h264/avc video, they are very likely high-profile, and there is currently no player capable of playing 720p+ MKV's with that video format properly. Hardware doesn't play them at all, and the software-mode (the ffmpeg lib most of them use) isn't optimized for Tegra2 yet, resulting in stuttering playback.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KangMan1:
I had the same problem when copying MKV files to my Asus Eee Pad Transformer. This worked for me, thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurotiko:
I had the same problem, try this, on windows, tools, folder options, view and tick show icons never thumbnails then apply. This worked on getting quite a few mkvs over to the xoom, still had a problem with a couple of TV shows and they were under 1gb each.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meltdown09:
I dont know why it crashes but I found a quick fix. I notice that windows crashes when I try to transfer any file large or small with the mkv extension but it doesn't mind transffering picture files like jpg.

Just change the mkv extension to something like jpg. It should transfer fine and then change the extension back to mkv after it finishes

ENJOY!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raigaard:
I had the same problem with Transformer Prime and Win 7 Ultimate. I got everything work just changing few options for shark007 codec pack.

After these changes explorer did not crash for me.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the drugstore:
Well I had my mind made up on Supercurio's KA6 Build with Voodoo and after some reading I came across this person's rom s0niqu3 (KA6+voodoo+bln+cifs), I just want a rom that is basicly the Samsung KA6 build, but speed up so my phone doesnt lag. Which one should I use?:confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkasai:
You mean kernel, when we refer to 'roms' we're talking about the framework, theming, and applications that make up the software that sits on top the kernel.

To answer your question though, you will do just fine with one of supercurio's stock+voodoo kernels. Very reliable and the lag fix is totally worth it...will probably save you hours of fiddling/waiting for the UI over the lifetime of the phone.

I still suggest Eugene's GingerClone R2. I have been using this for about 2 months and it is still the best performing ROM that I've experienced for the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Trigger 2.6.2

It has the kernel you want (voodoo, voodoo sound, voodoo color and almost completely stock). The ROM is stable, no known bugs that I'm aware of. Beautifully themed too.

Edit, just saw .3 was released. I would load it up, get it running how you like, and then flash s0niqu3s kernel on top of it. I do feel it's better than KA7+voodoo.
[EVO 4G General] rhymestars:
I started with the samsung vibrant and then switched to the epic because my girlfriend put me on an employee account. after modding the epic to every extreme i became bored and musta forgot what i had untill i lost it. My curiosity got the best of me and i returned the epic and switched to the evo.

I realized quick that is was all buzz. Not only is the sense ui full of lag and no ext4 partition but the camera quality dropped about 5000000000 notches from the samsung line.

I have taken pictures with the Vibrant at 5mp with NO FLASH and the image was crystal and full of depth with accurate color representation. I set the evo to the same settings and realized quick that i was getting better pictures on my old 1.3mp nokia bar phone camera.

If i could switch back i would in a heart beat.

I understand that dev's and evo fans will stick up for the evo as long as they have it. But you can not avoid the solid proof

The evo camera is horrible at best. If you are thinking about switching DONT.

Touchwiz is way better.

Odin flashing assures a solid write of all data to the internal sd

Epic comes with 16gb card.

epic camcorder records 720P TRU HD NO LAG VIDEO

I run an Audio and Visual company and own many cameras including the world famous RED camera.

when testing light sources with our meters compared to the quallity that the evo poops out of its capturing unit, it is very clear that the wonderful folks at HTC are scrambeling to figure out how samsung has blown them and their beloved evo out of the water. there is not a codec or fps fix in the world that will compensate for harware that was designed to save money insted of customers.

I have learned my lession and now carry around 2 phones. Even though my vibrants are not activated i still find it worth while to carry around a device that captures pictures and video equil to my cannon dslr with a 35mm chip.

BOO samsung all you like but the proof is in the pudding.

Instead of defending the evo maybe it would be wise to spend that energy accepting the problem while searching for a fix.
[EVO 4G General] rhymestars:
Show me proof to support your claim.

Dont settle for less. HTC can market a product for sure.
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
Yeah try CM7 Nightly build 6. You won't need all those mods and you will be pleased with the performance and battery life. The Evo is not the best phone. It was when it first came out, but many phones have hardware that surpass it. Why buy a phone for the camera? If you are serious about taking good photos, use a camera and not a phone. Just sayin...
[EVO 4G General] rhymestars:
Evo battery is better. Even after consistant flash and no reconditioning. I have cameras. GOOD ONES. I just enjoy being able to take random pics and actually have one of our photo guys doctor it up. We run a Production company that is known for its quality. It would just be nice (In my career choice) to be able to publish and use the random photos that have great quality. I got that from the epic and vibrant. Just a little let down(Im just syain)

[Defy Android Development] madhuranand007:
Hi everyone,

I came from Galaxy 3 and used SGS also and they both are good phones but not water proof :D So I change it to Defy but I miss some features which I got in SG3.

So I am mentioning some things which, if possible can be modded than the Defy Super Rocks.

First I badly need to have a clean build .sbf so that we can easily direct flash it through RSD

ROM with fully ROOTED rights. (because its very :(annoying to root using SuperOneClick):(

Icons in notification are like I did in my Samsung Galaxy 3 or Galaxy S, as its really very handy to On/OFF the GPS, Blutooth and other.

1% battery icon. (not in my SG3 but want it :D in Defy)

Clean ROM only with these STOCK applications please

[STOCK] contacts, message, Music Player, Time, Gallery, Camera Camcoder, alarm & timer, Dialer, google search, Manage Sim Card, Market, Youtube, Phone portal.

​

[Add on] Super User, Defy Recovery, Root explorer, Skyfire Browser, Barcode scanner, SetCPU

​

With Zeam Launcher because its free and fast too.

Its really very useful if any of you people make this ROM.

Are the switchers in the pull down menu a feature of Zeam or some app we could use with other launchers?
[Defy Android Development] jaduncan:

I tried a boot animation (Boot Animations Epic 4G Supercenter), and it works, I tried that Matrix-like background one.

You might have discovered this already, but for all those that might stumble upon this thread:

There is a great alternative to a dedicated notification LED: BLN :victory:

BackLightNotification uses your SII's capacitive 'hard' buttons, [MENU] and [BACK], to act as notification LED's whenever the need to notify you appears. :cool:

This feature is implemented in a number of kernels; DreamKernel and Siyah I know has them (Check for the option in ExTweaks).
