Hi. I'm posting here because i'm not allowed to post in the Android development section.
I have problems with the volume setting (& buttons) of my Legend. I'm working on my university thesis which consist of configuring a smartphone.
For that, I'm writing an application. I tried to change the volume setting by using the setRingerMode(int) function. When I launched my code on my phone, I could see in the notification bar that the phone changed the ringer mode (vibrate or silent icon disappeared). Aaaaaaaaaaand now:
1) volume is mute (but still vibrate !)
2) when I press on the volume button on the side, it shows the Toast of the volume control, but volume don't go up nor down. It stays on "0".
3) when I go to Settings > Sounds, it force closes.
I tried to reboot the phone. Doesn't work.
A friend suggested a hard reset. Not a bad idea in theory. But if I have no idea what's wrong, I'll keep doing hard reset forever.
Also, my phone isn't rooted, so it runs the basic Froyo. (& I can't root it for my school)
Can anybody help please ?
My only question to you is why would want to be posting a question in development section? You have done the correct thing as per xda rules "NO QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT SECTION"...
Best thing for you to do is do a backup of the stuff on your phone, I have found the best backup app for non-rooted phones is js backup then do a factory reset.
Sorry 1 more question have you tried other volume apps from the market? There are heaps of them.

Any idea why the setRingerMode function crashed the whole thing ? As of today, the getRingerMode function returns me the value 53, which is impossible
The app I'm writing for school HAS TO be able to change the volume (& other parameters), so I need to understand what I may have done wrong.
For the rest, I can only reset my phone ...
Do I have to set something else than just :
- get an instance from AudioManager with getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE)
- use setRingerMode(int mode)
Do I also have to set the volume for example, or retrieve an audio stream ?
Found the solution. Silly me writing silly code. No need to reset my phone & now my code works perfectly !

Earlier today I upgraded my Streak using the QDLtool method to the official Dell 2.2 Froyo rom.
I tried to change my ringtone to something else, and when I select a different tone, the window with the list of ringtones closes and the ringtone stays as the default.
The same goes for the SMS/MMS notification sound as well.
Is there a fix for this?
Oddly enough, I did a reset, then picked some system ringtones to see if maybe the format for the ringtones I had made was wrong or something, and it worked fine.
Feel free to ignore this thread.
Thanks!
Mine is doing that also. I'll have to give it a hard reset and see if that fixes it.
Thanks!
Update:
Did a reset (power off, hold up/down volume, 1 for reset), Still will not do any ringtone
but default if selected. Does it need to have the built in reset from the clear storage app?
Same problem here. Used QDLTool to update to 2.2. Settings>Privacy>Erase All Data didnt help. Neither did a hard reset.

And thanks for the link.
I've searched around here and the web and can't find an answer to this - There have been various posts and suggestions on how to stop the beep once a battery is fully charged (I use a free app 'Battery Charged' to stop this).
However what I can't find is a way to stop the beep when I connect the phone to a charger/pc USB cable. This is very irritating not only me but others when at work and I want to stop it.
Anybody know of a setting/app that stops it - Just have a vanilla rom and have no intention of rooting it.
Thanks
Edit: Sorry should be in the Q&A section
Looking through the files, I would start with trying to rename/delete/replace /system/media/audio/ui/Charger_Connection.ogg but that would probably require root.
uh on the iphone you put the phone in silent mode with the flick of a switch. are you meaning to say you can't do this with android? And people wonder why people would rather go the iphone route for usability?
Ignore the guy above & download an app called 'Tasker'. it costs about £4 from the market but it is AWESOME.
Tasker will allow you to set up 'rules' for example so when you plug in a charger/usb cable etc you can individually mute the volumne but still allow texts, emails, calls etc to sound & ring (unlike iPhone which is a global mute).
Job done.
Sure, buy an app to get basic functionality. That's the android answer for everything, isn't it
root and delete the file, job done.
Oh and dont feed the troll above!

im all for modding to get more functionality, but for stuff like this? I'd love to be able to have friends with androids without them constantly calling me to ask how/if they can do a certain thing w/ their phone.
Still sorry for being trolly I didn't mean to be
Just put the phone on silent using the quick panel, this stops it fine if your not wanting to use modded themes or buying 3rd party apps.
If your only wanting to stop the charging notification then whats the point if any other sounds will disturb other colleges, pointless trying to disable one sound when others are going to irritate the same.

Agreed + valid point but I have profile set up for example that mutes all notification sounds (charging beep, texts & emails) during the night while on charge. If someone needs to call me cause of an emergeny etc the phone still rings though.
That's the beauty of the Tasker app.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Can you send emails with your gmail app? I can't, and that is sofa king frustrating you can't even imagine. I have no idea what went wrong, but I've tried asking here, and I've done some extreme things to get it working again, but nothing seems to help short of restoring a nandroid from early September; but that only works for a few hours before is back to not sending again, AND I have to update a bunch of apps. Anyone have a solution? What exactly does gmail need to send??? I compose the email and click the send button, then the button goes grey and absolutely NOTHING else happens until I hit another button (except send, since its grey and no longer responsive).
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
For your first problem. Search the development section and find the thread for miui lithium. In the first post of that thread is the apk for dsp manager. With dsp manager and voodoo sound (via voodoo control app) you can increase your phones speaker volume.

Oh goody. An all caps post about an easily Google-able problem. How rare!
For experts? More like for gerbils.
Perhaps it is for noobs but you don't answer my question! For me you are a noob too.

First I would like to appreciate the hard work Fusiondev has put into this custom built ROM & say thank you! Am loving it,so much better than stock.
I however have run into abit of an anomaly. The default messaging app seems to have persistence without the option of removing it. It also shares dialer app function of storing the simcard's pin no. thus if you attempt to kill it,it won't die but you'll instantly receive a notification requesting you to enter your pin code.
It would also have been nice if the edge/2G/3G connectivity notification wasn't tied to messaging notification sound settings,its a little odd when you have a voice notifying mp3 for messages then again you here it on edge/2G/3G connectivity notification. Can anyone confirm this issue coz I followed instructions to the letter when installing FusionIdeos 2.7.10. I used clockworkmod & didn't forget to wipe/factory reset before flashing. I also can't tell how many characters am typing in the messaging app.
Installing a third party messaging app like Go SMS Pro still fails to relieve the default messaging app of its persistence & causes message/notification duplication. Is there a fix for this issue?
Anyone pliz help! I re-installed FusionIdeos and all I get now is improved battery life,the prob still persists even after fresh download. I can't get into boatloader mode (something I later also discovered). It just displays a blue 2 @ the bottom right of the screen & I have to remove the battery to boot normally. Anyone help me.!
Have you tried uninstalling the default messenger app (using a system app uninstaller)?

Infact I'd love it if you could suggest a good app that does just that coz I have installed apps alone without games & all am left with is a measly 57MB. How would one untie the edge/2G/3G notification tone to the text messaging notification tone?

You could try this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.danesh.system.app.remover&hl=en (always works for me). You could just try changing the message tone.

Let me see, where do I start. Alright that app means serious biz. I played around with it and it cost me my keyboard hence wasnt able to post here until now. As of now I have been through CynogenMod 7.2 found that it cant surf the net, has no list of APN list and now am back. When I used system app remover to take out mms.apk (messaging app) it went with the system keyboard. It was extremely persistent in giving a "force close" error right until I rebooted the phone. So I flashed CynogenMod 7.2, realized it cant surf then looked for an online pc and had to download a third party keyboard.
What effectively happened was my system now has alot of free ram instead of free space, its very fluid in performance especially with Go laucher Ex effects all enabled. I really wish there could be some FusionIdeos update separating all this ties within the system. I believe the reason why this ROM is so big is because of the language packs coz the CynogenMod 7.2 ROM left me with 142MB to play with but this one does only 67MB as of now. Is there anyway this language packs can be removed? I still cannot boot into bootloader mode
Bump, anyone?
Bump!
I know there people who can help even @ this time of the year. I could use some help here.

Are you able to boot into recovery mode?

Yes I am able to.
As for (power+red+vol.down), what happens is, the phone reboots then remains in a sort of an idling state where nothing is happening,I have been reading around and now it seems that is what they call bootloader mode,if that's it then yes. Probably its idle coz there isnt a zip to update to. Is that right? I also read in some forum that you can flash clockworkmod recovery using bootloader mode with a custom zip but only in Evo,havent found for u8150-D yet.
I believe I can get more freespace if I can remove the language packs that I dont need. Know how?
How can I remove the language packs that I dont need from this ROM?
Da#n!!
Bricked my phone again!
I may a noob going through puberty (brick-phone stage) trashed my recovery menu, trashed my rom and ram, but am not interested in building a dynasty of expensive brickhouses (deaded ZTE blades,U8800s,U8150s......)
My phone is up & running once again, so
Bump!
Considering the heading of this topic, I would say that my problem has been solved by simply removing the default messaging app, therefore this topic can be bagged and tagged. Link2SD also solved my space issues dramatically... even my launcher 10MB is auto linked 2 sd and works flawlessly!
Hello. first up im new here but as i have been waiting 3 days for my activation email i have been reading a lot on this forum. but there is one thing i cant seem to find an answer for.
basically like everyone else i have the low audio jack output problem. i dont have a rooted phone and all this talk of pushing files to adjust some core settings really means nothing to me (this is my first Android phone). really couldnt work out if the phone had to be rooted or not.
as i was looking for a solution i came across Volume+ (i believe the inventor is on here and might have found the hard code fix everyone else is using) bought it and gave it a try and can confirm its definitely louder. BUT when i went to Setting -> Sounds, a new option appeared called "sound Effects" or "Music Effects" which gives me option to select between the new Volume+ and MusicFX. literally as i got here pop up screen "MusicFX has crashed" etc etc
is this normal??
what is musicFX? is it actually needed?
do i have to be rooted to do this Hard Code option that most people are using?
any help is greatly appreciated.
cheers

Music FX is the incorporated Samsung sound thing .
Will Vol + and Music FX crash yes in my experience .
Few are using hard code few are using DSP manager and yes you need root .
I can give no advice on sound level as i don't have that problem playing MP3 at level 4 normally .

little update on this old thread. tried multiple times to get hold of the owner of Volume+. he has not answered any of my questions thus making this product not fit for purpose.
i have no way of getting a refund for a ****e app that doesnt work properly.
i have reported to Google so will see what they will do.
