I just changed my T-Mobile SDA to I-Mate sp5m ROM, and it seems much faster! The one thing that is really REALLY bugging me is that i can no longer use the # key to switch between normal and silent! Is there a way to enable this?
Also is there a way to add the toggling of WiFi into the QuickList (the list by pressing the power button) like it is in the T-Mobile ROM?
And one last thing I would like to change is when you look at your call history by pressing the green button (on the home screen), is there a way to make it that when you press the joystick in it views call details instead of calling the person?
I can use the green button to call the person and liked it more the T-Mobile way where it would open call details.

Everyone of these is spot on. #3 really bugs me.
I agree, also. I would like to be able to toggle silent mode with the # key. Another problem that I have with the SP5 rom is that for some reason my recently dialed, missed, and received calls are not sorted by date and time. I can't think of why they wouldn't be, and I can't figure out how to fix it. Is there a way to fix this?
When inserting a text symbol using the symbol page (hold the # key on keypad or Fn + Sym keys on keyboard), the symbol gets inserted followed by a carriage return (enter). This is extremely annoying and severely limits my SSH / command line usage (can't insert a symbol without an enter).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a WM6 problem or is it just my S710? Is there a fix or is it embedded in the ROM?
Yeah, I am also suffering from that in some apps. Don't know if there is a fix.
There is no problem, but it irritates. You must select the symbol by space button: "_/#" on main keyboard or "Space" on QWERTY-keyboard
Experienced this with my Dash before, must be a software conflict, after uninstalling some apps, it worked fine since then...
So you use space/# on keypad or space on keyboard to select the symbol instead of enter. Just tried it and it works. Thanks for the tip! I wonder why this behavior was changed from WM5 to WM6? Oh well, at least there's a workaround.
After installing TomTom 6 on my Motorola Q9h I had two major issues -
1) To start GPS I had to start some external GPS program
2) Backlight did not stay ON.
So, I made a launcher that fixes these things.
Copy MyTTlauncher.exe to the device,
change tt.lnk accordingly and copy to device (\Windows\Start Menu for example).
Default - TomTom and MyTTlauncher.exe are in \Program Files\Navigator\
Can you navigate and select items in the menus in tomtom? My up/down dpad controlls the volume not scrolling..thne when typing on teh keypad only the numbers make numbers so i cant type 10 of the letters so address entry is impossible
i had to edit the config file to make it com5 after using the modaco gps port setter because i couldnt select a gps comport when they listed the available...compared to running on my old 8525 this software feels very cripled on a non touch screen pda....
HOPEFULLY you have some good tips?!

Press and hold contact button (on the bottom second from the left) until phone beeps. It will switch keyboard layout between numbers and letters. You can use Fn instead of backspace. Items from the menus can be selected either via d-pad or via numbers. Unfortunately, selection from the list and browsing the map is possible only via fakecursor
Problems...
Hey guy... I have the Moto Q9h as well. i installed tom tom and your files but whenever i open tomtom and hit navigate to it says no gps device? any ideas?

You need to use Microsoft GPSID utility to map GPS to Com3, then configure TomTom to use Com3

I tried something similar (with "CeRunAppAtTime"), using only "SetSystemPowerState", but it doesn't worked out.
Finally I installed Tomtom 6 + Tomtom 6.03 and now it's working perfectly with my IPaq 214. After the installation the BT couldn't turn on, but a reset fixed it
Hi there,
as I mentioned in different threads, I noticed, that it is not possible to change the volume of your device via headphones (in my case Beats Tour with ControlTalk). I did some research about it and found, that Apple has got a patent on this procedure, so it is not possible to implement this in Android devices.
As is did some further research I found the basics, how it is working. As far as I understood the volume control is possible because of different resistors (three) in the cable. Each of this resistor is bound to one button (vol+/play-pause/vol-). If you press one button, the amperage is reduced because of the resistor. Now the only thing that has to be done is to interpret this amperage and decide which button was pressed. I was wondering why exactly the Android devices are not able to recognize the clicks on vol+/-. I did some research and testing again and found out, that "Headset Droid" does not even recognize, that the button were pressed, "Headset monitor" does not show any event. The funny thing is, that, if I press vol+ and vol- together, the click IS recognized, but the device interprets it as a click on the play-pause button. With this I would say, it is not a
hardware issue, it should be software, kernel, related.
I looked into the latest XE kernel (pyramidLE-crc-2.6.35) and searched for different keywords, but can’t find the exact files, where the headset control is configured (there must be any files, cause htc headphones are working like a charm with previous/play-pause/next). I've got two ideas how this could work.
Add some code to recognize the button-presses and interpret them correctly. That would be the elegant, clean way.
Another idea is, that we could get every headphone treated like htc headphones (vol+ would be next track, vol- last track). There is an app to change the htc previous/next buttons to work like vol+/- so that would be enough. That would be the "easy" way, but more dirty.
Some more information: I did not change anything in the kernel and never compiled the kernel, so I can’t say, if I'm on the right track.
Here is what I found in the kernelfiles so far:
\arch\arm\mach-msm //it seems, that there are some amperages are configured here, but it does not seem to be the right ones...
Code:
/* HTC OTHC Driver - BEGIN */
[...]
static struct hsed_bias_config htc_headset_othc_bias_config = {
.othc_headset = OTHC_HEADSET_NO,
.othc_lowcurr_thresh_uA = 100,
.othc_highcurr_thresh_uA = 500,
.othc_hyst_prediv_us = 3000,
.othc_period_clkdiv_us = 3000,
.othc_hyst_clk_us = 45000,
.othc_period_clk_us = 6000,
.othc_wakeup = 1,
};
[...]
\arch\arm\mach-msm\htc_headset_mgr.c //here’s the headsetmanager, the type of headphone seems to be set here
Code:
[...]
switch (hi->hs_35mm_type) {
case HEADSET_UNPLUG:
state = "headset_unplug";
break;

state = "headset_no_mic";

state = "headset_beats_solo";
break;
case HEADSET_INDICATOR:
state = "headset_indicator";
break;
default:
state = "error_state";
}
[...]
As I never worked in kernel before (I am experienced in C) I don’t know whether I'm doing it wrong or not. Some help and any suggestions would be helpful, perhaps we can get this working.
I hope you understand my thoughts and problems, it's hard to express them in german and it's even harder in englisch
Kind regards,
I have also wanted my tour headphones volumes buttons to work. Thanks for this hopefully a solution could be near.
Dev of Headset Droid here.
I'd say it's a cool initiative to try to make the volume buttons work. The last time I researched the issue, it seemed to be a hardware problem at the 3.5mm plug. My guess for why clicking both vol+ and vol- generates a play/pause, is that by pressing them both, the play/pause button might actually be pressed. Of course, I could be wrong about this.
Either way, to give you an idea of what to aim for: Catching the volume button clicks globally is a lot harder than to catch the next and previous buttons in Android. Headset Droid doesn't support vol+ or vol- presses, but will only show play/pause, next and previous in the headset monitor.
If you somehow manage to get the volume buttons working as they should, the volume level should change as if you pressed the volume buttons on your device.
Headset button controller app works fine with beats. My set up is long press to change track on either button and short press to increase/decrease volume

nice to have you here!
i thought the same about pressing vol+ and - at the same time, bit i took a close look, the button itself (i mean the part of the button that you are actually seeing) is not moving while pressing both.
whats the difference between the htc buttons (next/previous) and, lets call them, "apple" ones (vol+/-). I read about how 3.5mm plugs are technically working and I cant imagine, that htc headphones are working THAT different from "apples" version. I had a nice article about that, I will search for it and post it here.
//EDIT: Can't find it anywhere... read the first post, I tried to explain it, hope you understand how it works.
Just some small information (sorry for double-post): Found this - reverse engineering apple headphones - and this today - reverese engineering htc headphones. It seems that it is indeed a voltage drop, that lets the system recognize the button-presses in BOTH headphones. I'll have a closer look in the evening when I'm home from work and will compare the results, if it’s similar, we might get it working by a software patch.
The second link is broken for me, but if the plug plays no role in it as you suggest, it does sound a lot more promising. : )
I'm still not convinced about pressing the two volume buttons not trigging the play/pause button, though. I've got some earphones with 'Apple' volume buttons as well (a-JAYS Four) and I can't reproduce what you're describing on my Nexus One running CM7.1.
I'll be looking forward to hearing what you find out later on. : )
Again some news and could be, that I need some help...
As far as I can see, the current cycle in both headphones (apple and htc) are exactly the same, except for the different resistors, which would explain the different voltages.
Regarding code I'm stuck at this function in \arch\arm\mach-msm\htc_headset_mgr.c
Code:
static void button_35mm_work_func(struct work_struct *work)
{
int key;
struct button_work *works;
wake_lock_timeout(&hi->hs_wake_lock, HS_WAKE_LOCK_TIMEOUT);
HS_DBG();
[B]
works = container_of(work, struct button_work, key_work.work);
hi->key_level_flag = works->key_code;[/B]
if (hi->key_level_flag) {
switch (hi->key_level_flag) {
case 1:
key = HS_MGR_KEYCODE_MEDIA;
break;
case 2:
key = HS_MGR_KEYCODE_BACKWARD;
break;
case 3:
key = HS_MGR_KEYCODE_FORWARD;
break;
default:
HS_LOG("3.5mm RC: WRONG Button Pressed");
kfree(works);
return;
}
headset_button_event(1, key);
} else { /* key release */
if (atomic_read(&hi->btn_state))
headset_button_event(0, atomic_read(&hi->btn_state));
else
HS_LOG("3.5mm RC: WRONG Button Release");
}
kfree(works);
}
I tried to roll back the events that are triggered by a keypress and the different functions are (from the first to the last):
??-->button_35mm_work_func-->headset_button_event-->button_pressed-->??
But I does not understand how button_35mm_work_func "does know" which button has been pressed... I'm stuck there for the moment :x
I do not want to know whats coming after button_pressed, cause I think its enough to get the button working as next/previous for the moment. Then we can look into volume control.
If any kernel-dev would be helping it should be easier, as I said, I never worked with kernels before, still learning.
So far.
loliman,
I just found this thread .. how is it coming? Any slightest light here? like at least a punch in volt signal and all?
Forget to tell you... I'm at vacation till tomorrow (friday). I found some more things and compiled a Kernel with some changes. I'll tell you when I'm back home.

no news yet, huh? :-(
Some bad news... I tried some things yesterday wich didnt worked and now I accidently deleted my virtual machine (linux...) I'll creat a new one and try some more things (I've got some more ideas) tomorrow, I'll post more recently in the next days, sorry, had been busy
Any luck on this?
Any news? I'd love to help, though I've got no experience with C or kernel level code. How are you reading the headphone amperage? What about just writing a headphone button driver from scratch? I was just thinking simply detect an amperage change and pass that info up to handle everything else in the Android framework, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that . How have you gone about this, and if I were to experiment, where should I start?
Its been a while but I am wondering if any things changed with regards to this. I got a Klipsch S4i as a gift and I know it wont work on my Droid X2, hate to give away these headphones they sound so sweet.
I was hoping for a fix so I can use the volume control on my Sennheisers, but then my gf's cat chewed through them so now I can be patient

I have ludacris
Hey anything new found i found this problem with my sould by ludacris sl49 i bought them for 80 euro and they didn't even post a sticker on the goddamn box or somewhere visible they ts all should just make universal drivers for earbuds and headphones this anoyes me only the middle button works for play and pause stupid bull****
From what I've seen it appears to be a patent issue with apple being the bad guys. I may be wrong though.
