I only want to use my stock music player. Nothing else. But the equalizer sucks. Why is it that all the equalizers (from the market) I try work for m4a formats only? Any one else experiencing this? Or possibly have a fix? Thanks everyone.
Come on. Anything

Yeah, and this bozo started two of them. Do NOT double post and this should have been in Themes & Apps, not General.
Thank you captain obvious, I infact did search.
Was not aware that you could not double post. I searched the whole forum and did not find those threads. Could you at least tell me where they are? Or a link?

Flipping burgers...that's a funny one. You're right, some have not been here as long as I (3 years is still rookie level) and some have been here just months and know enough to read the FAQ and the forum rules before posting. Alas, many are just like you. Blow through the door with entitlement attitudes expecting the unpaid staff here to jump to attention and solve their problems instead of being encumbered by having to do some searching and reading to get their answers. This is NOT the help desk. This is a self-service repository of information whose custodians are sometimes nice enough to help out, but should not be expected to. Easing up is not an option.
all flaming aside, there is an app called equalizer in the market that should work. if it doesn't, pair equalizer with double twist and you'll have an Eq and lock screen controls.
Thank you eddies92. That helps. As for miami_son, I search the WHOLE android forum and did not find anything. Get your facts straight. You no better than anyone else here. Never thought it was a help desk either. Back off.

Equalizer is what I use. Its very poor though. It only allows to change 5 bands so the frequencies are very spread apart. Works though.

Okaaaaay.... let me rephrase that.
What would be the advantages of updating from 2.2 to 2.2.2?
Disadvantages? Bugs?
Let me rephrase it then, plenty of threads about 351 and other new roms for you to rummage through. Better get cracking. I find 351 to be a bit buggy but others love it. People here won't spoon feed you so use what has been posted and make a decision.

Im with you, buddy. I am totally ok with 2.2 and see no need for 2.2.2 if its primary update is the stage home screens. I have Launcher Pro Plus and dont care about the Dell Stage screen. I also heard that oo.voo constantly runs in the background. I dont need another back end process to constantly manually stop, so that it sill autostart again. Some have said sound quality issue. There suppose to be enhanced email functions but I bought Enhanced Email from the developers site directly and it works fine. I am not sure what Gallery updates are but im ok with the current.
Hey William, if you come across other items, pro or con , let me know too. Thanks, bud.
Remember some time ago Google removed some 50 apps from the market because they had a malware payload? The main difference between 2.2 and 2.2.2 is that Google has closed the exploit which allowed that malware to work.
To me, that is a compelling enough reason to upgrade. However, if you don't, every so often Google may force feed you a malware removal tool. But, as said earlier, it's your choice as to whether you want to upgrade or not.

A bit of a smartazz aren't you?
What good is a forum where you can't ask questions without feeling stupid?
I don't do that on my www.CorvetteC3.com forum that I founded and run, that has been around longer than this one at 10 years. We start off new member telling them that there is no such thing as a stupid question and if it has been asked before, so what... ask away, the members here are friendly.
I've been here over a month now and getting tired of seeing this kind of attitude telling people to use search instead of answering the question or leaving a link. If that is the case, we really don't need a forum do we?
I've found on my forum after awhile, new members learn on their own to use search,
I wasn't talking about you, Rico or Strephon and thanks very much for your replies.
Hey no prob, William. I agree with you. I dont pay those sort of responses the time of day. You are correct, some reply as if its their personal site. Strep made a good point for updating when it comes to the Google malware update. Thanks for this sting.
About the only time I will actually tell someone to go search is when they ask the same question on multiple threads in the same forum, just because the threads happen to be related. To me, such behavior is childish.
So, I have done it myself. I'm not proud of it, but at the same time cannot change my frame of mind. I simply don't have patience for stupidity, and spamming the message boards simply because people aren't helping out as fast as the poster might want is stupid.
William, for the most part the people on this forum are decent. You and I seem to have managed to find that one person that rubs us the wrong way. In your case, it's someone being a smartass. In mine, it's someone providing a solution that actually ISN'T a solution. It almost makes me wish there was an ignore list feature on the site.
EDIT: Found the ignore list feature on the site. *LOL*

I think it's rather odd that you have your own forum where you say people eventually learn to search yet here you didn't bother doing so. Did everything you learn on every other forum before, escape you right before coming here?
I bricked my phone last week yet I didn't make a thread asking what to do. I searched and searched til I exhausted all the solutions. I had dozens of threads to go through, you have a few at most. mine was a much more urgent matter than yours, but I knew it was covered over and over.
Maybe its cause I used to get flamed for not searching when I was younger but now when people do that I just see laziness and a "I'm too good to search" attitude.
Not saying thats whats happening, though I dont know you so I cant say.
Either way, apologies for offending you.

Since 2.2.2 is a platform specific update and not device specific update, you didn't have to limit your search to just the streak section.
Thanks for the links. I did see some of those. In my post I was more after personal opinions of those who have went from 2.2 to 2.2.2. Wanted to see their thoughts on it.
As for the members on my Corvette forum, most of them are between 40-60 and many don't know how to search or are too lazy to, (retires you know).

Actually, both are beneficial, a couple threads/posts were very helpful and searching here and googling found more answers. Combine them all, you get a lot of different views. I like as much info I can get.
The update isn't a true 2.2.2 update. I received/did it a couple of days ago. it's still 2.2, I was told that there must be some a typo or some such on the web page, but my phone still shows 2.2. FWIW the battery seems to last a bit longer, but the 3G reception doesn't seem quite as strong. YMMV

I am coming from a DX where TBH modded the NV files to use the stock hotspot application.
I was wondering if there has been any devs taking a look into this...
And by the way I DO NOT want to start a ethics war on tethering or not tethering...
Thank you
There's been threads with lots of useful information (and posts) within the last couple of weeks. You'll probably get more informative answers looking at those then asking people to repeat what they already said.

I have skimmed thru quite a few recent posts regarding tethering and I find none of them useful in answering my question. I see that many of the posts go on to get a smartass remark or two from someone who has not a clue about how to answer the question.
Kinda like what happened in this post.
So I would like a linky or a better answer.
Ohhhh, if you want a smartass answer, I could do far better....
That was only my polite, "look around the knowledge base because it's useful" answer that noobs seem to find insulting anyways.
If I really wanted to be insulting, I would tell you to RTFM . I help plenty of people with legitimate questions, feel free to look at my post history and see for yourself.
But really, I do agree the ways people say it tend to be rather blunt.
However, the overreactions to even sensible replies to search around are also just also just as bad, since there doesn't need to be a new posting always and some people just don't think before they make one and reminding them to do a little search I think helps (if done in a not so overly rude way). My initial post was not a slight against you but a word of advice that people will do what you just said, insult you and give you non-helpful replies.
IDK what kind of solution you are looking for, but there isn't a magical "Verizon will give you free unlimited tethering legitimately without extra cost option if you ask them really nicely" or a "I'll come right over to your house code and compile the most amazing tether app in the world that actually boosts your LTE speed beyond what Verizon gives you and does your homework when it's idle."
Instead of taking the defensive because someone asked if you looked around a little, perhaps clarifying your question in a way that shows that you actually searched (i.e. "I noticed there was this method to tether or that, but I don't really like those options") makes it clear to everyone you gave it an honest shot and also motivates people to want to help you more
It also keeps things on topic so you get the answer you want faster. Just for future reference.
I searched the TB forums and didn't really see anything on the subject. I only found
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082585
Maybe there's more in the general Android forums, though I didn't find much there either. I could just suck at searching.

I recommend using advanced search and "search by post" not by title. You'll get more relevant info that way. If you happen to be an opera mobile or desktop user, you can make a custom search from http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?f=940, by hold pressing on the search bar for that page for mobile or right clicking for the desktop. It will then add it to your other custom searches for easy access

No, because it's a different phone that was never fully rooted and it's the only phone mentioned, but it's worth talking about since it's the first threat that comes off as more than words (though it could still be regardless). Verizon can tell what you're doing far easier on it than other phones because you don't ever have full control of it on the droidx. If there's any phone that can detect if you're doing unauthorized tethering, it's going to be a phone that's locked down. People who buy moto get what they pay for.
Though someone did mention it somewhere in some topic on the thunderbolt forums about the droidx having ways to detect it, but it was just glossed over.
I never used stock hotspot app because I never even try apps with monthly charges. what's the point of checking it out and potentially getting hooked when I'm absolutely certain that I will NOT pay monthly charge for that. I'd rather switch back to T-mobile
with that said, I'm using wifi tether as I write this. it took me a while to configure it because it wouldn't work out of box but it's free and well worth the price!
I've been busy lately and havent kept up with this...so Verizon shut down the free tethering apps, like "wifi tether for root" and others?
Not to throw this thread off topic or anything I just wanted to know how you got the H and # key's confused in the thread title as they are quite far apart. Again, sorry to everyone just kind of a weird mistake.

Seems the Thunderbolt running gingerbread is the same way, although I reverted back to froyo for the time being so I cannot confirm what this article states.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/3...ireless-tether-asks-that-you-purchase-a-plan/
Doesn't CM7 provide an integrated tethering solution? That should be undetectable to Verizon.
If they are baking something into the gingerbread update to detect tethering apps (pun not intended but welcome), it won't find its way into the CM7 code.

I doubt anyone on a T-bolt can confirm since we're still getting free hotspot. Unless they are allowing official hotspot use but blocking tethering apps.
I suppose that would make sense if they're trying to get people hooked on the feature.
Yareally thanks for the links. I don't know if you own a xoom but I have yet been able to get the search feature to work in the xda site. Maybe you could find a link for that as well and post it for me.
I am not currently at home with access to my laptop where I have full availability to use the advanced search feature. So thanks again for making these links available in ones easy to find location.
As for the #.. I use thumb keyboard on t#e xoom and it is t#e result of a long press on t#e h key. I think you should be proud if yourself for being able to figure out what I meant to type.
No offence to anyone but some times when you all jump on people asses there may be extenuating circumstances.
Sry for your troubles. But I hope you rest good at night knowing that you have helped one soul find some good info.
The search feature using a web browser or using the application for xda? I've heard the application has lots of issues for anyone period with the search and since many seem to use it, it's probably the reason for lots of duplicate posts. If you mean browsing it on an internet browser, that seems new to me as far as I know.
I've never used it, I just browse using opera mobile (with a link to the thunderbolt forum on my speed dial and the search tied into the search bar next to the url bar).
Opera mobile still has an unresolved issue with LTE being throttled (max of like 150KB/s), but it's not a deal breaker for me at least compared to using the stock browser in terms of getting to where I want to go quickly and its tie-ins to the desktop browser.
No worries about the thread. Internet makes it hard at times to interpret someone's replies anyways since words can be taken many ways, lol.
So! I am using the latest CM7 build(RC 1.6.1), MR2 Radio, stock kernels and I live on the east coast US. I'm using Fancy Widgets because it's a pretty decent and free replacement for a sense-like clock. But I am often getting an issue that effects not only it, but the default News and Weather App that says I am located in Klaipėda. I can sometimes fix it by opening Google Maps and refreshing my location there, and then refreshing my location in FW. My clock seems to be fine, but the widget app displays a moon after around 2PM. Anyone have ideas?
Yes, you are really in Lithuania. Your phone knows much better about where you are than you do. I mean it has GPS for s***sake.
But really...this has been covered hundreds of times in any CM7 tbolt thread you can find.
It's a problem with network location. Some suggested turning "Mock Locations" off in Applications/Development helped. Others said it made no difference.

I'll try using the turning off Mock Locations and see where that gets me. I didn't see it in every thunderbolt thread, probably should have looked just a littler harder. But I seriously thank you for reminding me to use Google in such a way. I mean, it's so useful for finding many things, look at what else I just found.

I disagree, telling people they are 'special' when they couldn't find something through searching and telling them and suggesting that Google is intimidating comes off rather rude. Not to mention posting a 'TooLongDidntRead.' But maybe I'm just reading too much into this.

If you read a number of my posts, especially some in the dInc forum, I have a tendency to come of VERY blunt with a good does of my own personal character and opinion. It doesn't always come off as well in writing as it does in person. Absolute_Zero is a good guy and will do anything he can to help. I'm sure you can depend on him to answer any question you might have, but like many of the rest of us, I see his point in searching first. There's a lot of people here that know a lot of stuff who didn't obtain that knowledge by question, but rather, by searching it out, and there's a frustration that comes with seeing a question arise that hasn't been researched before posting... at least that's the assumption.
Let's just let it go. This isn't an issue that's going to enrich anyone.

I'd say turn off mock locations, set your location manually and/or use gps to get it. You should be fine then.

Evidently the scanning is not frequent unless you are in the wifi settings screen, where it is assumed that you want to change settings.

So that you can actually have an up-to-date list in the Settings screen?
Don't you think it's a safe assumption that when a user enters the Settings screen, they want to change networks, and the scan rate should be changed from the default to "as fast as possible" while they're there?
Sounds like a fair assessment.. sorry for being nubby. Had this thing like 4 hours.

yes, the wifi will scan more frequently while you are in the settings menu.
Just to warn you ahead of time before you get flamed by someone.....use the search function. This question has been asked millions of times and this info is well documented in many threads.

I also noticed this and was trying to edit my build prop to:
wifi.supplicant scan interval =15 or whatever #...but it doesn't seem to work as it did on captivate custom roms.
I don't really see why people worry about wifi scanning intervals that much. I see more battery life when connected to wifi than using cell service (might be because of my 1-2 bars), and this phone is actually slow at updating out of the menu because I'm already down my street before it finally disconnects me from my wifi when I'm driving.

Not sure what the proper setting is, but 15 is VERY low. As I said - this setting is ignored when you're in the wifi settings menu, because it's assumed that if you're there you want to change networks.

Yup. Increasing the scan interval will improve battery life, however, I'm not sure what the logic for disconnecting is, so increasing it might hurt the time to disconnect in a situation like you describe.

yes, the wifi will scan more frequently while you are in the settings menu.
Just to warn you ahead of time before you get flamed by someone.....use the search function. This question has been asked millions of times and this info is well documented in many threads.
with that being said, welcome! enjoy the phone!

Just because you are using a crippled app isn't an excuse. Don't post until you've done some reading and searching from a PC.

I second that. In fact you can open the thread to a browser from xda app so you can easily use search functionality from the web.

I reflashed my device with cwm 5.0.2.3 after installing some recent updates. I just noticed that my wifi no longer works. Would a newer version of cwm restore my wifi, or is something else causing it to malfunction?
try resetting cache, factory, etc, first. then reboot

Is it against the rules to bump an old thread? I think its not because im providing real help, or attemtping
5-15 (google) is ungodly bad... Set it to 100... 200... Turn it off? Why scan automatically?...please not 5...also the constant refresh feature people here assume is nice is actually a big waste of battery and manual searches are what i do with that patched out.
When you turn radio off it goes straight it off... I think i read that this interval also shuts off the radio? No. -edited (wrong info)- also in newer versions google flat out scans wifi even when wifi is off. Paranoid is good with google. The only problem i can imagine with autoscans off is problems with googles heavy reliance on "auto wifi scans" as their (quick messy gps)...So delete that
Also... Cell tower internet uses alot more battery than wifi.
MOD EDIT
Location services uses wifi access points to help speed up location lock with gps/glonass as the positions of GPS satellites can be estimated with a general location. Higher count will probably result in a longer gps lock time, and reduce the performance of location services that google provides. If you don't want/need this service, than disable it. When Wi-Fi is off, it does turn off the radio.
You learn something better by struggling and trying to search for yourself instead of having the answer just given to you like candy. While users on this forum provide help for free to those that need it, if the answer is already somewhere on the forum and it only takes a bit of searching to find it, people will backlash at you and question why you don't search in the first place when it clearly says in multiple places to search before you post.

My comment looks untouched, why does it say "MOD EDIT" unless i also posted about how people on xda flame noobs. Im quite sure i dont break rules since ive been using xda since it started. But sorry if i did.
Also you should of edited my bad data. bad data hurts alot more than other things imo lol
Again im actually sorry if i broke the rules.... But bad data is much worse in my brain lol
@penguin logic yeah i know about all that, in fact somewhere after 100 alot of those google services break. But its all opinion. I rather use my gps. When i say my gps i mean that thing that doesn't need internet whatsoever and can in fact place you perfectly on cached maps. I hate so much what google does with wifi but you are so right that this is totally my bias.
And about your other statement: please pm me what you wrote lol, because what stryke edited might be wrong. But from what i read you are totally right again. But alot of things can factor into why people create threads like this are created. And i actually enjoyed reading it and alot of times i CANNOT STAND people spamming threads with stuff like "go search man" or "why are you posting this repeat"
Seriously sometimes they can just say "no" or "set scan interval to 90" or something but instead they post what i see as spam. Moderators can and should deal with threads that should not exist.
Edit: I never troll, i hope you weren't saying i was trolling.... ..
The content edited from the posts was inciteful and disrespectful, hence why it was removed. After reviewing the rest of the thread, and seeing that a necro-post revived it long enough to become a feeding ground for flaming, I think this thread has run its course. Any further questions about moderator actions should be taken to PM, open forum is never the place for this. Ever.
Thread Closed.
(Maybe this question needs to be somewhere else, if so, plz move it for me)

Then by all means make them. Google gives the basics and it is up to the OEM to make them, but as we can never relay on them it falls to people to do ti themselves.
Any good?

Im a pc programmer, not smartphone.
Really one can never avoid having annoying people post useless comments just for being bored with their lives...
All i want to know is if somebody ALREADY made modified fonts for coloured emojis on android and (if they would be so kind) where i can get them, not a lecture on programming...sure everybody needs stuff, but we can't do everything for ourselves can we?
Some people choose to do different things, if you're a smartphone developer then most probably you don't make your own cod but you rely on game devs to make it for you (how shameless and selfish right?) And if you want a cod mod like hell you gonna go and disassemble the whole game just to mod some stuf, but you ask OTHER experienced modders and they, likewise, might rely on you to do something for smartphones....
So, if i ask a question i dont want somebody telling me it is fordbidden to want something from others, cause that's how social animals(FYI: human beings, as aristotle described us), live their WHOLE lives...it's society b***ch -.-

^^^ how not to address a senior moderator. ........wince.....cringe.. ouch!
Woo first I would watch how you speak to a mod. Next had you followed the rules you would have found the answer to your question.
And to answer your stupid comment. I at least try to do things myself before I ask for help and even then its not to have it done for me but to help me do it on my own.

Not really....perhaps i didnt explain myself well enough, so here's the situation:
-i HAVE emoji keyboard with coloured emoji buttons
-i CAN see emoji's cuz i got a modified font from the web, but they are blac and white and different from the iphone ones
What im looking for:
Another modified font (or fix, or mod, if you will) that will still allow me to see emojis, but the original ios looking ones (or at least some coloured ones).
So id like if someone shared with me their knowledge about this...

Dude...really...what is a mod? Someone that has been on the forum long enough to receive some priviledges as a recognized member of the forum, but not necessarily wiser than others. I apologize if i was too rough, i did not see that u were a "senior mod" as i am using the xda app, and had i seen it, my answer would probably had been the same or somewhat similar...
But, it turns out i DID follow the rules: i went looking for emojis, i got multiple "fixes" both on this forum and others, and i applied the best one: resulting in black and white emojis. They seem good enough, but i like the ios ones better, is it FORBIDDEN to ask questions on a questions thread?
is it FORBIDDEN to treat a moderator just like i would treat anybody else? U live in a democracy right?(i wouldnt want to be missing something here...)
But i dont want to have silly a fight (ive had thousands in life, and 10 times more on the web already), i just want to ask a questions on a questions thread, and get answers to THAT QUESTIONS on a question-and-answers thread (without having any mod go all crazy on me cuz hes senior).
Thank you for understanding....

Your not gonna find anything done like the ios does. Most things here avoid everything IOS. So if you really want something that important to you then your gonna have to dig in and do it.

Listen mate, moderators give up their valuable time to try and keep things orderly, not for some kind of power trip.
Being rude/insulting people is against the rules.
As a member of a community you are bound by individual responsibility and mutual aid.
If we didn't follow the guide lines this forum would fall to pieces.
Just trying to divert a bad situation here
That's my contribution to this forum

Alright man i get what ure saying, but ive been a mod myself and i never treated people like they shouldnt ask...if i ever had something to tell them, i pmed them.
i know many things about a pc, and i help anybody who asks me stuff...from "how to start modding this/that" to "how to access my computer files". If the question is unresolved/hard to know for a normal person: i answer them.
If a question is stupid/already resolved multiple times/real easy to find on the web: i answer them first, then i tell them to look for easy stuff on the web cuz not everybody likes to waste their time answering questions that have already been answered and spread out to everyone.
I read the mods post, and i care to disagree with some stuff he wrote.
You see...xda may not be a democracy...it may be "just for developers"...but there are some flaws in this reasoning:
-xda, like any other site, is subject to the laws of democracy just of the country you live in. You may choose to establing an aggressive-moderation kind of "empire" here (which im not saying it is, nor that the senior moderator was aggressive, im just reasoning here) but on such a big scale as that of xda i hardly believe the founders of xda like to hold on to a site which is supposed to keep people(devs if you like the word) connected and at the same time they want to control peoples operations...i mean...developing is free itself and may cover any topic
-people arent born developers, knowledge isnt a fact, people learn stuff and then they become developers. You cant ban all developers from the site, cuz this site doesnt just deal with developing stuff, nor do developers grow on trees...
But if you want a site with people that know in detail how to build software for these devices or mod them in any way, then go ahead and filter the logins. Put up a questionnaire or something, ban every non developer you find....but seeing as this is clearly not this forums policy, obviously some statements the mod made in his speech were untrue, and peole liked only out of frustration. You see...the more is never the right....

Well if you looked at the people that thanked it instead of the number you will see that just about every mod agrees with it. We are working on a questionnaire for the Reg.
Now the rules here are simple and they are to be followed or people will be removed from the site. Plain and simple.
Now your question was answered. and this debate is pointless.
I have been more then understanding with your lack of respect and will end this here.
If you want something the way you want then it is up to you to make it happen. If you want help learning to do it then great. If not then good luck in your search.
More then understanding.....lack of respect....you guys really live in a glass castle.
I dont care if moderators thanked that, they probably did out of frustration or respect or they really believed it (amazingly). I believe i followed the rules and i did not offend anyone except for the "b***ch" part of my comment which was obviously intended as a joke not as a real insult.
If this forum was born for devs only, it isnt so anymore. I would really love to hear the opinion of the real moderators (the ones that own and pay for the servers and that mod the site and founded it, not the ones that help out those guy handle the forum).
Clear these posts or close the whole thread as it is no more useful filled with these comments, as no one will probably help out since a "senior mod superhero" has been unrighteously offended....please
