[Q] first post, looking for guidance - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey everyone, i usually dont post, observer is more like it. but i am having touble and i hope someone could shed some light. the first issue is with the dow kernel from tw. it wont recognize my headset as a microphone headset, only plays music, and second, ffc isn't my default camera when i use messenger, fring, or qik. it works fine, except for the low light/low banding issue, havent found anything for that yet, but i digress. those programs go automatically to my back cam, not sure what i'm doing wrong. thanks in advance for the help and just wanted to say thanks to all the devs. you guys are awesome, we would be running crappy slow phone and slaves to our networks. you guys (and gals) rock.

I recall reading some posts in the FFC thread in Development that discuss how to get programs such as fring to recognize the front camera. HTH

[Q] Unsolvable Hero question....

UPDATE: ok, ive figured out part of the problem so maybe a solution will be easier. After experimenting, iheld down my menu key and it opened the keybrd, hitting the speak button initiate my call for as long as i talk, once i stop it tries searching and does its job. SO, there is a problem between the voice recognizer initiating when it should turn on....or something like that.
could not find ANYTHING in my settings that would turn this on permanently.
ideas? thx
hey guys, first time poster long time reader.
huge fan of what everyones been doing here so maybe i can get help cause ive been unable to find any solution.
PROBLEM: In car bluetooth handsfree communication for PHONECALLS only, competely not working.
Ok, so i have had my telus htc hero for 2 years now, everything worked fine on stock 1.5 and upgrd 2.1
once i started having trouble with memory and no a2sd, i bit the bullet and flashed CM6.1 and loved it, but thats when my BT trouble began. ever since then, it hasnt worked. It will pair, connect and if i receive a call the music(which works fine) will pause and the phone will ring, but when i answer it.. complete silence from both ends.
I flashed CM7.0.0(maybe 7.0.1?) beta3, thinking it would solve the problem and no luck.
After several weeks of searching i came across ELELINUX last night, read the changelogs and it said BT worked fine. so i flashed 7.1.0 RC1 v3.1 to find the exact same problem persisted.
I am out of ideas and threads to read...if ANYONE has a suggestion they think will work, i am all ears.
Thx so much for any help and sorry for my long first post.
Sounds like trouble with the roms bluetooth stack. I'd test a stock rom and see if that solves the problem. If it does, its probably the roms you're using.
Hmm ok. I just assumed that since the build said "Bluetooth working", that it would! Lol
But ok thanks man, I guess I just search for that with "stock hero rom" right?
Ill give it a whirl and see what's up. I wish someone knew of a working 2.2 Rom for hero, sheesh

Calm down, just because your problem still exists, doesn't make it our fault, or our responsibility. If anything, its your responsibility. If you want it fixed, contact the developer of the rom. If that doesn't work, try developing a fix yourself, and see the time, skill and patience it takes. Until then, quit raging against the hardworking fellows here and let us move on to bigger things. If you truly want bluetooth, you can always unroot and go back to stock to fix your problem. Beggars can't be choosers.

Droid Charge Camera use while in call?

Hi, all.
Was a little disheartened about my Charge to find out Samsung won't allow the camera to launch while in a phone call. I thought HTC was bad with not letting me use the FLASH in a call. But the camera altogether?? I've searched and while I found a lot of discussions, I've found no conclusions.... well, no conclusions I WANTED anyway....
Does anyone know of a way thru rooting, an app, hack, or something to stop this from happening?
Thanks...
Any intel appreciated.......

Skype voice problem

Hi
I'm on froyo 2.2 orange Uk and facing problem with Skype audio. The issue is that I can't hear the other party's voice however if I switch on the speaker the issue goes away. Looks like the problem is with the proximity sensor which blocks out the incoming voice (no problem with the mic). Also, there is no problem if I use earphones. Orange has replaced one handset because of this but not willing to support anymore. They are saying Skype is third party application.
Can someone help me please in fixing this issue.

I would contact Skype Support if I were you, possibly you should update to Gingerbread, that may help.
Rumor has it that Photon users had that issue at one point, but we are working fine on Skype.
I am a Photon User, and the Atrix is the Photon's cousin basically.
Thanks deedscreen for your reply.
I can't update to gingerbread as it is not released yet on orange Uk. Will contact Skype support and see their response. I don't expect much support for Uk customers, though.

Problem with front-speaker

Hi all!
I have a problem with my mini pro and would be most thankfull, if anyone could help.
Since a while now, my front speaker is not working anymore. I am using my phone with an unlocket bootloader, custom kernel and custom rom. First I thought this might have to do with that, since I first noticed it after trying an ICS beta (CM9). I did go back to SE-kernel and also restored everything with SEUS, but nothing worked. I have used various kernels and roms since, but my front speaker has not been working again.
Today I got a new speaker and changed it myself. Unfortunately, this still did not bring any changes, no sound at all.
Now I am a bit clueless, if this is really a hardware-issue or could be software related after all??
If any of you has any idea on the topic, it would be great.
All the best,
Jonathan

Bro I had the same issue with my phone.. It is the flex which goes from the motherboard to the lcd part (upper half of the slide) which might be damaged probably causing no connection to the front speaker.. U get it replaced by the SE serice center.. Thats the only way.. hope it helps..

Hi there, first of all, dissasemble your cellphone, here you have the service manual, it has everything you could need to make a hardware rapair, including dissasemble and reassemble videos. http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_E10i_Xperia_X10_mini_service_manual
Once you obtained acces to the speaker, test it, you can do it taking a wire with a 3.5 plug on one end, and bare wires on the other end, by plugin it on an mp3 player and making sound going trough the speaker. If your speaker works, you will have to take the schematics from the service manual, follow the circuit and locate the failure. Most common failures are a flex broken or pressure contacts failure but you can have problems like this one, that are more difficult to find and solve http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472440. If your speaker doesn't works, just replace it.
Any problem just say it
Sorry, The service manual for The mini pro is here! http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_U20_Xperia_X10_Mini_Pro_service_manual

Thank you all very much for your replies!
It sounds like you all do believe it must be a mechanical problem. I allready changed the fron speaker by myself, but it is still not working. I will see how the flex looks!
But it is good to know, none of you thinks, it could be something with the custom rom/kernel
same problem for me man!
have you solved the problem after all?
i've tried to check with a tester and it seems that there isn't signal on the two contacts of the speaker...so i think the problem isn't the speaker but it is on some connection!! (maybe the main plan connector that connect the keyboard part with the sceen part)

Volum+ app

Anyone use this app with the NT? If so does it help the dismal volume? I am also a little nevous after reading the disclaimer of how it can blow out your speaker. Anyone had any issues like that lol?
I'm using that app. It works WONDERFUL, but I would advise you to heed that warning about cranking the volume too loud---the app can as much as double the typical volume of the device, which can be kinda bad for the speakers. I haven't had any problems, but I'm also not pushing it. Use good judgment.

I like to support devs and their work. So, for me, the $1.62 is a good deal. However, if your short of $, the dev allows free download on his site. This isn't warez...click on Visit Developers Website on the market page and it'll send you here:

well if you hear any sort of distortion at loudest level then back it down. You will know a speaker is being damaged/can be damaged becuase it will distort and sound horrible try out a song that changes in bass to really test.

Works great. Now the nook has an acceptable volume level.

This is a great find. Was struggling with the "soft" volume even when cranked up. This app addressed that very nicely. So far no problems ...
What is the exact name / correct spelling of this app? I am still having a hard time finding it, there are many "volume this or that" apps. Also, the link given to the developers site seems not to be working.

This is a great app. I love my nook tablet running cm7 just fine. But this app makes it so much better. I can actually watch videos without headphones. I set it to volume level 10 and its perfect. Any higher and I think it will start to damage the speakers.
Just found the app! Looks awesome! About time i can play with the EQ whilst listening to music through my headphones.
The developer's site seems to be working now. Reading it indicates they did have some site problems recently, I must have visited during one of those times. But all seems working now, I was able to download and install app, looking forward to trying it out.
To answer my own previous question, the name of the app is actually "VOLUME+". But don't bother searching Market or google, best place to get it seems to be developer's site (see above).
Thanks for the info on this app! I've been buggin' out because of the low volume... now it's workin' great (with CM7).
