Hello,

I read this forum for quite a long time but never had a chance to register or post. Please forgive me for coming in with questions.

Okay... I want to connect my Nexus One to my Nolan N-Com Basic Kit, but I can't find a suitable ready-made cable for that.

And then I:

Bought two BlackBerry handsfree (Chinese made - $3.42 each)

Cut them below the microphone/button part

Connect the four cables in it

Pictures speak better than words:

Okay, and now here's the problem:

If the cables are just separated like that, the sound is weird, low, and ugly

If I short Red and Green : Pause/Play/Ffw/Rew*

If I short Red and Blue : Pause/Play/Ffw/Rew*

If I short Red and Yellow : Pause/Play/Ffw/Rew*

If I short Green and Blue : Dead - No sound

If I short Green and Yellow : Sound's OK, loud enough, but still a bit weird (like either left/right channel is gone/low although both of the speakers works).

If I short Blue and Yellow : Sound's OK, loud enough, but still a bit weird (like either left/right channel is gone/low although both of the speakers works).

* Pause/Play/Ffw/Rew means sometimes it pause/play/fwd/rev the song, can't understand why, and sometimes it's also reboot the phone :confused:

I'm now using the Green and Yellow short, because it's the one that sounds better on most songs.

My first question:

What to do to at least make the sound alright? I crack open and look at the original BlackBerry wiring but got confused. There're R-G-B-Y cables going to the button/mic casing (the cables that I use), and then there're G-B-Y-Y going out from the button/mic casing to the earphones.

My second question:

I really want to have the original (Nexus One) handsfree's functionalities. Having buttons in the cable to receive/hangup phone calls and to play/pause/rew/ffw songs. Is there a wiring diagram for Nexus One's Handsfree somewhere?

Thank you.
[General Accessories] zonk0101:
I have a similar Problem, I bought a 4-pin 3.5 cable, which works perfect with the Computer, but not with my Nexus One. There is sound, but its horrible...

Do you got a solution for your Problems?
[General Accessories] yofazza:
Hi,

Yes I ask a guy in a local electronics workshop to do the work for me based on the attached diagram in this post.

hackaday dot com/2010/11/03/patching-into-android-music-control/

So it needs some resistors, switch, etc., which is beyond my expertise. :D

Good luck!

ps: sorry for the new-user-spam-prevention workaround
[General Accessories] Happy_Jack:
I'm not familiar with your hardware but you may have the speakers grounded through the mic+ wire. Is there a screen on your cable? That might be the real 0v connection.

Your description of the wiring suggests to me that:

G and B are left and right speaker+

Y is 0v

R is mic+

HTH.
[General Accessories] sotodefonk:
Like happy jack said, it looks like the green and blue are left and right (+)

Red is mic +

and "Yellow"(looks like copper) is ground (-)

It probably is because the pin configuration is different in the nexus one and the helmet.

Try to do this:

If that doesnt work, then you need to do something more advance that I dont know about.

If you want to just make the speakers work, you could just buy an stereo extension (plug with 3 pins to plug with 3 pins), or try to do this:

Solder both the red and yellow cable or just the yellow and dont solder the red one.
[General Accessories] yofazza:
Hey guys, thanks for the replies, but I have the problem solved a few months ago by asking a technician to do the work for me based on the attached diagram.

I got the diagram from some blogs. Link is on my previous post, and here's another one:

wisebread [dot] com/build-a-cable-to-control-your-android-phone-while-you-drive

And although the diagram is for a TRS to TRRS conector, it's sufficient for the technician to create a connector cable that basically works like the original N1 handsfree, but without the microphone (because the micropone line is passed along the whole cable to be used by the helmet's microphone).
[General Accessories] zonk0101:
I got it.

As sotodefonk mentioned, N-Com and the Nexus One have different pin configurations. With the Information from yofazza, I was able to figure out which cables have to be crossed. Now the Sound is good, and the mic works!

Thank you guys!

I thought it'd be a good idea to make a thread where people post their bugs they're getting from the newly released cm7 alpha. I don't have cm7 myself yet, but I plan to so I think this thread would be useful to those who are thinking about trying it, and the CM team.

Thank you.

KNOWN BUGS

Apps such as Juice Defender, Angry Birds, ROM Manager, and Cordy do not work.

Backup and Restoring with GAAPS has some issues for users.

Videos from SD card will not play

Status Bar force close when receiving MMS

In-Call volume is unadjustable

Physical left & right arrow keys reversed [FIX] http://efragtv.com/android/cm7/keylayout-fix-cm7a1.zip

Full Screen Mode in Browser covers the Status Bar

I think that's all of them; PM me if I missed anything
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Wiped Data/Cache 4 or 5 times. I do it more than I should just to make sure i get it..and im to lazy to count.

Flashed the Rom, Flashed GAPPS. Put it my gmail info. Checked a few boxes to download facebook, twitters, Maps, and such automagically... and after clicking install on all the market apps, I seem to be stuck on the "Backup and Restore" page...Been here for about 20 minutes. Now I know this works by downloading all of my apps again for me...but I think we should probably be able to get passed this point without waiting for 100 apps to download...:confused::confused::confused:

Not sure if I really am stuck or if its just taking its sweet time downloading my apps. I only have 2 bars and its kind of slow at work, but i really don't want to type a WEP key in right now for WiFi.

Startup was slightly confusing because of the extra steps, but so far I'm bug free! I like it so far. I was playing with the customizations all for hours last night after installing.

EDIT: I forgot about one small problem. Juice defender widget seemed kinda hit or miss with turning data off. Never had trouble with syndicate.

2nd EDIT: Juice Defender doesn't work well with gingerbread yet.

[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
I want to add, really quick, that the more you guys tweak your installation of the ROM the harder it is for us to pinpoint problems. Different apps, themes, tweaks, et cetera can break things that are known to work. Since we're trying to get the base system working, please only report bugs if you are mostly clean (apps are fine, obviously) and if it is directly related to the ROM itself.

EDIT: And as I've said in a previous thread, DO NOT restore data from a previous EB13 ROM. This isn't the ROMs you're used to. If you fail to fllow this step, your bug reports will be ignored. I don't mean to sound rude or whatever, but it doesn't help anyone if we're following false leads.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
I've restored apps only. I don't backup system data for that reason.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
You can use the power widget for CM and just turn data on and off when you'd like to use it. Juice defender provably wont work with Gingerbread for a while until it comes out as a more mainstream Android OS.

[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
The backup and restore that had me locked down for 35 minutes was not the Recovery Backup and Restore, it was the Android Backup and Restore right after selecting which applications you want to be automatically installed.

I ended up doing a battery pull because I needed to use the phone, after it rebooted I skipped the google account sign in and avoid this all together.

I was able to sign in after launching the market for the first time without any issue though.

Also on a side note, after I am up and running, I am trying to get the HoneyComb music app to work. :).
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Alright, so let me get this straight...

DO NOT restore apps w/ saved data, or do not restore system apps?

Also, things like this and the extra instructions you need to flash this ROM, gives more reason, and I've said it before, to show a video/tutorial from a person starting from stock EB13, to rooting, to flashing. I've seen lots of tutorials for the evo, and I'm sure it'll clear up a lot of mistakes.

In addition, if more people follow the video correctly, less bugs about improper flashing/restoring will be mentioned, and more bugs about the actual software will be more focused on, and help the devs see exactly what's wrong with the system, and not what the person did to flash the ROM.

I hope someone takes my advice, and that a video will be demonstrated on how to do this.

I would make a video myself, but not confident enough to flash cm7 quite yet.

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Oh no no, it's basically like flashing any rom. If you're on a rooted EB13 all you have to do is wipe data 3x wipe cache and dalvik cache and install the zip file. It works as any rom all you have to do is wipe and put another rom on if you grow bored of this one. And use my backup pro to backup data from your app and restore it that way so that it's not something which is damaging to your phone as a whole.

Alright I think I get it. Is this through ext4 and cwm3 or what? And what was the restoring issues people were having earlier then?

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
According to Dameon it works on both RFS and EXT4 so whichever clockwork you have should be fine. People were trying to restore EB13 NAND backups onto CM7 I believe as well as applications which rely on frameworks which are not present. But I would say make a NAND Back up and have a stock EB13 update.zip or have the tar for Odin, just the usual procedure if you think you revert and really just use that if you feel like reverting or going back to a rom as a failsafe. Whatever you're comfortable with using.

Every time I send a text that goes over the single message limit (160 chars or w/e) all the recipient gets is a jumbled mess of random characters. I'm very confident that the problem is with my ROM (CM7 alpha 1) and not anything on their side. It's not an intermittent thing and it's happened with every person I've tried.

On an unrelated note I've noticed another, smaller bug that I also noticed in noobnl's CM6. If you awaken the phone by sliding out the keyboard the keyboard backlight flashes briefly but does not stay lit as it should.
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
This is because MMS doesn't work. You can go into the messaging settings, and select split messages. Then it will send each message individually and work just fine until they get MMS fixed.

[Atrix 4G General] joelszs:
Hey guys,

Recent iOS convert and still figuring out a lot about my atrix and android in general.

Would someone be willing to give me a rundown on how media and apps are stored?

Specifically, where are Market and non market apps stored on the atrix? Can I control the download location through settings?

The same for music and video? I've been dragging and dropping media to intetnal storage but it appears on my 8 gig SD?

Same goes for beyondpod. Can't figure out the storage path.

A little confused.

Thanks for the help. This is a heck of a community!
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
First, the "sdcard" is your internal storage. An actual sdcard will be referred to as external or sdcardext, or something like that. You can place music and pics pretty much on either one and the music player and gallery will find it. As for apps, you can download them and most will end up in non-accessible internal memory but you can go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and select the app and you might or might not have a choice to move to "Phone" or "media Area". The media area will be the external card.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Live is correct, you can put anything on either SD or ExtSD and it will be found. As for the apps they download to /system/apps in the Internal phone storage, unless you do the above and move them to the SD card. To be honest though you've got a ton of storage on the internal phone storage for apps so unless you have like 500+ apps it won't be an issue. As far as how the internal SD is organized basically the Internal phone storage and internal SD are the same thing, the internal phone storage is just partitioned off to be used for the OS and app storage and you see the remainder as usable SD internal storage.
[Atrix 4G General] joelszs:
Thanks for the information guys, much appreciated.
[Defy General] nicksti:
I am thinking about getting a Defy or an HTC Wildfire (again) but I have two questions:

The Froyo update is still scheduled for Q2 2011 correct?

Is the speaker problem still an issue and are there any other hardware issues?

I am buying unlocked and having an issue will prove very inconvenient to rectify so I am doing due diligence.

I love the specs. One thing that I love is how compact the phone is. 3.7" screen and practically the same dimensions as my 3.2" screen HTC Wildfire.
[Defy General] Peglezn:
that three questions not two :)

-yes its scheduled for q2 2011

-speaker problem is no longer an issues, its been fixed with in newer version on the phone

-there are no other hardware issues as far as i know
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
If defy is within your budget, you will definitely regret buying wildfire. Wildfire gets you 1/5th the pixels, much slower cpu, and no gpu. It looks and feels better though (personal preference).

Speaker problem was fixed since December productions. Just make sure you don't get October/November stocks (not that they necessarily have the problem, but such aged stocks could be returned/refurnished).
[Defy General] SimboXXX:
The speaker issue is not fixed - just see the Moto support page & you will find broken phones with manufacturing dates Jan/Feb. The issue is just taking longer to appear.
[Defy General] nicksti:
The resolution on the Wildfire is not good but I did not mind. I owned one already and the only issue I had was how poorly angry birds used to play. The majority of my use will be browser, emails, telephony, messaging, and the occassional puzzle game.

The speaker issue is worrying to me. It was the reason I did not get a Defy a few months ago. I did look through the Motorola support page and I am not sure what is accurate.

The speaker issue is a small percentage of handsets (source is Motorola).

The speaker issue is more prevelant in UK phones (forum users).

The speaker issue is not found in 2011 manufactured phones (forum users).

I like the phone enough to take a gamble, but I will regret it if I have the issue.
[Defy General] xdaid:
Defy vs Wildfire... makes no sense. Defy is better in every single feature, screen resolution, screen size ratio, cpu (a lot better here), performances, wifi (Defy supports N band), and so on.

Upgrade to 2.2 is confirmed, China versions already come with Froyo.

I'm an "old" Defy user, i bought it more than 4 months ago, never had the speaker issue, of course, other people had troubles so you should take it into account.

Last, the price is affordable considering the features offered.

In my opinion no doubts, go for the Defy.

EDIT: and, how to forget it, this phone is water proof and also shock resistant :)

EDIT2: irony, time ago during a rainy day i lost the speaker's capabilities (recipients couldn't hear me) on my htc s710.
[Defy General] scrannel:
FWIW, I bought my Defy when they first came out in the US (Nov.) while the speaker issue was "raging" on Euro forums. I have had zero issues and it still does seem that the issue has effected far less T-Mo branded phones. However, in real-world numbers, the amount of phones with this issue is relatively small.

On the German forum where they were declaring it was the end of the world and bloggers were linking to it to show that "thousands" of phones were going south, the forum itself ran a poll and -- at that time -- they documented thirty phones. That doesn't mean that covered all phones effected, but the internet hysteria on this issue is, as usual, out of control.

What market are you in?
