[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cret:
Got to say that it seems like ever since I've been using Android instead of WinMo, the performance of the music streaming to a headset is pretty awful for me.

I don't mean it's a weak signal or the sound quality is horrible etc, but it keeps glitching, and then I find that the receiver (headset or car stereo) is playing the music at different speeds slightly to 'catch up' the tiny moment where it glitched, or something like that.

It's quite frequent and really spoils listening to music.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Also, I just got a Sony MBR-100 Bluetooth receiver to plug into my Hifi at home so I can just stream music from my phone to hifi. It works, but the volume is pathetic and I REALLY have to crank the amp up way louder than any other sources to even make it worth listening to. All the volume sliders on the phone are set to 100% but there must be a setting somewhere that limits the signal going out on BT or something?

Would love some info on either of these BT problems, thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blively2:
I don't understand...after flashing (successfully) many different ROM's I like (Darky's, FireFly, Phoenix, etc), everything works flawlessly EXCEPT the WIFI...it scans and finds all networks fine and even "connects"....however, the Internet, the Market, email, etc. never connects and always times out...even using Kies Mini to flash to the official AT&T Froyo 2.2. Literally, the ONLY ROM that allows me to use WIFI and actually WORKS is Eclair 2.1, which is extremely sh*tty!!!!! I've tried apps like FXR WIFI fixer, used linux commands from other posts, flashed/reflashed....NOTHING!!!!

What the hell am I doing wrong or not doing at all! I can't live with Eclair 2.1, but also can't live without properly working WIFI either (since my 2GB plan is $20 per month and is used up within 3 days with 3G enabled as the only option using other ROM's since WIFI is useless)....PLEASE HELP!!!!!! It's that, or I have to trade out my Captivate for another model....thank you in advance!

Not sure whats causing your issues but, no problems what so ever on serendipity (up to 5.12 now)

As a matter of fact im downloading at a minimum speed of 2mb per second
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
Just wondering if you might have changed your settings in the past. Did you ever use a static IP (from the advanced Wifi menu)? If so, you aren't going to be pointing at the right internet gateway, and you'll never get any connection to work. You need to go back to dynamic IPs.

Other than that, my wifi and GPS started to go flaky today, so, after a series of attempts at other things (nandroid restores, clearing the cache, uninstalling, etc) I re-flashed the same kernel. All is well and good now, for some reason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Have you tried connecting to different wifi signals? Maybe its just the router. And what are you doing that uses 2 GB of data in 3 days?! My plan lasts me an entire month with wifi only at night and i had barely 1 GB last month.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
wow.. must be tethering alot eh?

Hmm.. if it works on Eclair - I have no clue as to why it wouldn't be working after flash to a new ROM.

Now.. I did have it do the things you were experiencing recently though... I had a solid wireless connection - I had the correct IP address assigned to the phone. I could check my GMAIL and XDA (using the apps) But if I went to the browser - nadda. But after I rebooted the phone it started working fine.

I would try a few things out though..

Have you rebooted your router? I have the worlds crappiest Lynksys and have to reboot it every now and again.

Go into your phones wireless settings and have it forget your network, reboot your phone and try setting it up again. See what happens.

And I would definitely try another network... AT&T offers a ton of wireless hot spots here were I live and I abuse them to death :)

Let us know how it goes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
+1.

Those are all good things to try. And avgjoegeek, i had a handmedown linksys router for about 6 years and it drove me INSANE. I recently decided to fork over the extra cash for the best model "netgear." Makes a world of difference. Whenever i am trobleshooting, i can immeadately cross off the router as a problem lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjr1105:
Linksys = crap... Linksys + ddwrt = gold.

Judging from your info it sound to me like you have a hardware issue either on the phone or the router. Reset phone, router, and modem and try again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blively2:
WOW - a lot of great responses! Thank you to all who responded. I've tried EVERYTHING listed here with the exception of resetting my router. I WILL do that after flashing my next ROM (although hesitant). This issue happens no matter where I am (work, home, WIFI hotspots, etc)...it can't be a hardware issue, since it works flawlessly on Eclair....WEIRD! If the resetting of my router doesn't do the fix, I'll have to get another model phone...beats having to settle for Eclair, anyways!

Thank for all the suggestions and I WILL try the whole resetting of the router, although doubtfull. Thanks again!:)

[Xoom Themes and Apps] bishop72:
I always hate going into the settings to enable/disable data. Is there a widget in the market that does that?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Lars1967:
Good question.

How would a 3G switch function differently than enabling Airplane mode?

Curious as well...:confused:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bwcorvus:
Kinda but no. Switchpro widget has both airplane and 3g on/off switches. As of right now only the airplane part works.

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.alei-switchpro-CFBF.aspx
[Xoom Themes and Apps] svghost:
Yes! Theres an app for free called Widgetsoid in the Market. I just found out about it today in the 'post your homescreens' thread. Works great! :D

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Lars1967:
So what is the difference between Airplane mode and turning off 3G?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Salpula:
I am pretty sure airplane mode kills wifi and bluetooth as well, thou you can turn wifi back on.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] lacesout:
I use Widgetoid (think thats it). Turn on Airplane mode and you're all good. Just need to switch back on WiFi.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] nindoja:
There is no officially supported way to disable 3G besides Airplane Mode. Airplane Mode disables the 3G radio, while widgets just change the APN to something that doesn't work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
You can disable 3G from mobile network settings. Just uncheck data enabled.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Lars1967:
Sangreal, What benefit (or not) would this have over engaging Airplane mode?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] sangreal06:
Airplane mode disables all of the radios, and you have to re-enable them each time you power the device on.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Inphinitizeit:
I've noticed that unchecking that doesn't actually power down the 3G radio. It will still show up in the power monitor under settings. I'm aslo curious if there is a way without using airplane mode to have the tablet not bug about activation every time it starts up.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Lars1967:
Thank you!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] nindoja:
True, but I meant from a programming standpoint, so a widget could do it. Maybe it's been added in the 3.0 SDK but I haven't heard about it. I know google took out the ability to turn on and off the 3G with a program because it can cost users money.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferrari4life:
Hi forum friends , I just want to ask if anyone has had this problem before, I installed CyanogenMod 6.1.3 V4 yesurday and everything was workig perfect till today when the slider lock (wich is at the end of the screen you know you have to swipe it to be able to use the Cell phone) is gone i restarted the phone and waited all the day but it was gone and i couldnt lock the phone again , it was a big problem because i couldnt lock my phone and put it in my pocket because when i did it the phone opens inside my pocket.

so i decided to reset it and reinstall the rom again , and so far the phone is fine now

but i just want to know if anyone has had this problem before if yes is there anyone to enable the screen slider lock rather than resetting the phone?

thanks

Go to the General Android section > development(not the specific phones section) There are some tutorials and some background on how the phone works and what executable does what.

Also, Android is a linux based software, + Java+ some xml + plus I forget. I am not a programmer........ just a tinker..er

Also, Get The SDK tool kit --google that and you will be able to get your answers....and soon...... (if you are quick) will be releasing the next great rom

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfanax:
I have a branded phone which I rooted than unlocked. every time I put someone elses sim card it logs out from google account. which is understandable.

weird thing is, after i put my sim card back, when I log in to google acount after typing my password phone becomes lag free and super fast. just like I did a factory reset. market opens and loads super fast, web pages load super fast, apps load fast. everything is fast and amazingly lag free.

this makes me think that if logging off and than logging in from google account makes the phone lag free, there must be an explanation to it. maybe our lag is not just because of file system?

do u guys have any idea what might be the reason to this?

Now I've been a member here for a few months :) contribute as far as my limited talents allow.

tonight on logging on (about 2 minutes before posting this), I was presented an ADVERT!!!! in a pop up box, it indicated that its an approved ad by xda.

now I checked and I'm logged in.

any idea's why this happened?

are members now going to receive adverts when signing on?

is this a "new" thing?

Adverts drive me mad, and will if its likely to happen again, have the effect of driving me away!
[General Questions and Answers] tomj777:
I can't believe our Admin's are doing this

@johnerz Seconded

Folks - not sure if the site has been hacked but I'm seeing badly misplaced adverts obscuring the bottom of the portal site after the grossly intrusive "brought to you by XDA developers" pop up add.

I find it very hard to believe that the XDA team would have

Permitted pop-up ads and intrusive banner adverts (talk about steering people away from the site - so maybe a competitive site has paid someone....)

Made a style sheet error or similarly badly coded banner advert frames (unlikely to be just a poor site coding or deliberate. Again I have faith in the site not to exploit their members)

It's concievable that the add placement company has changed to some less professional bunch who have exploited an exploit or two

The site has subtly been hacked as replacing an add source is highly profitable if you can get into a high volume community site.

I have listed these in reverse order of preference and if it turns out the first item is only partially true and this is deliberate then "What The Heck Are the site Admin staff thinking !!!!!" :mad:

Folks - if the site is struggling financially - Say It Clearly.

Try Ulysses gizmo or GPS test and check their compass see if it is the phone compass or if the GPS is reversed for some reason

[G Tablet Accessories] hunterplatinum:
Hello i was wondering if anyone has installed their G-tab in their vehicle as a permanent or removable media center. I was curious if so how you went about it.

I drive a Infinti G35 Coupe and want to totally remove my cd player and integrate the gtab in the vertical position in the center console.

Here is a video of a vehicle that this was done to using the Ipad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwKnBz10sa0&feature=related

Anyone plz let me know.

Thanks!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] MikeTheSith200:
Well first, you do not want to put it in vertically. The viewing angle will not really allow you to see it from the drivers deat. Its better horizontally. you need alot of space to instal this thing. Its wider than an ipad. The only problem is the ports. Power and audio need seperate cables. You can easily run the power from the battery, audio idk; but that custom dock in that video is crazy. I took mine and put it in a doc that attached to the car power jack but it didnt power it. Basically you need someone to fabricate a custom dock. Then worry about power and audio. But the custom roms do have a cool thing called car home. Helps alot. Add in a bluetooth gps and ur golden.

[G Tablet Accessories] opnsrcaddict:
I've started to do something similar with my Pandigital Novel in my Prius.

The way I see it, you have a few options. The first would to be to just get an auxiliary input for your current radio and a car charger for the g tablet. Then you could mount it and run the wire how ever you like. If you just simply use double sided tape or velcro like I did in my Prius, this would be the easiest option and would be very reversible.

If you want to get more involved you could look into doing the same thing but moving the stereo somewhere underneath the dash and make a custom mount to put the g tablet in it's place. This would obviously be much more involved.

In both cases, you would just set the radio to the auxiliary input, set it a a higher volume level, and then control the volume and media via the tablet. However, I see the g tablet's limited viewing angle being a huge problem in this setting. Combine that with the very reflective surface and bright day light, you may have a hard actually seeing the device. I would test mount it with some velcro for a day just to get the angle right.

Another thing that I've noticed while working with the Pandigital Novel is that when the power is plugged in, it outputs a very noticeable whine through the auxiliary cable. This may be because I was just testing it with the wall charger plugged into an inverter, I may have better luck with a car charger.

Best of luck, be sure to let us know if you can get the viewing angle right!
[G Tablet Accessories] cjackxiii:
I'm currently working on something like that on my 1970 cutlass. You dont really need a stereo you can just connect it to any piece of $hit amp you find on craigslist. Any amp tends to get louder than the majority of stereos. Ill post some pictures when i finish.
[G Tablet Accessories] Icedvoco:
Its funny i just saw this post today, i basically finished a custom bracket to use as a mount yesterday and plan to set my gtab into my car using it, just waiting on a part to be delivered to finnish it, ive already basically been using my gtab as a gps and to stream music to my car sterio using a fm transmitter, works like a charm.

When im done we will be able to use it as a gps using a bluetooth gps, and play mp3s via the fm transmitter, watch movies even. With the mount im making it will be possible to adjust the angle to minimize the limited viewing angles.

This gtab is the best value for money i have seen in a while :)

G-tab is too big and glossy for something like this. Even with a screen protector the glare is pretty bad. Better to use something like the Archos 5 Android tablet which will give you 500 GB storage space and a 4.3" screen. Was on sale at amazon for $240.

[G Tablet Accessories] rayhova:
I'm actually going to be doing the same thing in my truck (2003 Mercedes ML 500). I have a jabra cruiser bluetooth (w/ FM modulator) adapter that I use, so I stream music from my tablet while driving all the time, and sound quality is fairly good. Quality is actually comparable to fm radio, the volume is just a bit lower. Having the G-Tab set at 75% volume seemed to give me the best sound.

So I assume having a direct connection in opposed to FM modulation should help improve sound. (I could be wrong). My one setback is the my truck uses fiber optics for the sound/amp so I have to buy a converter which runs about $200.

My question would be are you completely replacing your cd player/headunit? what do you plan on doing for am/fm radio? Possibly you don't listen to it at all.

I'll posibly get a 4g mobile hotspot and put it in my truck, but do I really want to be streaming FM or AM radio and using bandwith for that?

Not sure on whether I'm going to use the G-Tab or use a galaxy tab or some other android tablet (preferably with a higher res screen) internal GPS would be nice, although I ordered the GSat bluetooth gps yesterday. Another point of contention for myself is that I already have a 15 in drop down tv in my truck, so I'd want my car tablet to have a port to run a video out cable to my tv. Can't do that w/ the GTab w/o a dock correct?

So these are some of the things that I have to think about before I install, this is even before constructing the mount, lol.

Some more issues/things to think about..

You'll probably want some sort of swing hitch like the guy in the ipad video, since the power button is on top. I control keys don't illuminate, so controls at night could be an issue. You'll probably want to run a USB cable from the Gtab to yourglove box, so that you could add media easier.

You have probably thought of these things already, but I figued that I'd at least voice some of them in case they slipped your mind.

Or so that some others here can help me and correct me, lol.
[G Tablet Accessories] hunterplatinum:
I actually plan on extending the power button to a different location so that way i dont have to worry about permanently mounting the tablet. I also did purchase the BT Gsat adapter for the gps and i rarely listen to fm radio, but a fm antenna adapter can fix that or simple streaming using my phone as a hotspot.

As for additional storage access, i was actually planing on having a usb hub within my center console.
