DIY Haptic Feedback - G Tablet General

I noticed slight vibration during some of the notification sounds. Doing some research on low frequency speaker vibration i found two frequencies which do not produce much (if any) sound on our gtabs. However, the thing will vibrate. Check the files below.

That's cool. I guess now we wait for development to impement into Rome. Thank you

not sure any rom devs will be interested in implementing this as a form of haptic feedback on the g-tab. However, I thought I would post the findings in-case any rom or app devs are looking for a solution to the lack of a vibrator in these tablets.

That is cool. I think this would be a nice feature if it could be worked in somehow. It is sometimes *hard* to go from an android phone with feedback to the gtablet keyboard.

Or we replace the keyboard clickity clacks with the 150 and 200 Hz wav files... buzz buzz buzz as we type ... buzz with any screen press as well if that is replaced .. having just spent the final weeks of this past semester dealing with harmonics for a calculus based physics class I cannot believe this never dawned on me...
Also, I primarily just use the tab for classical pandora music, tapatalk, and pocket legends.... so nothing really ever played at those frequencies before... gives as firm rumble at 200 and faint rumble at 150.

Dude. Not bad

Thanks OP for being creative. freq150 doesn't make any vibration here but 200 seems like it would work.
What's the easiest way to try this? I have found the keyboard sound selection but there's no option to choose your own file. I also tried to copy freq200.wav into the folder containing the other sounds but get a permissions error. I am only a few weeks new to Android so pardon the newb questions.
Also, do you think there could be any negative long term impact to the speakers by playing these tones?

That's a good point. I was wondering that too. It go either way eg.; speakers are built for producing sound and these are just different frequency sounds OR the speakers are designed for mid range sounds and therefore will battle to play the sounds and the low frequency messes with them...
Not sure which makes more sense, not that clued up on sound tech.

I dont have my Gtab here today but if you want to use this in place of the typewriter sound on the keyboard I would extract that file, load it into an audio editor and see how long it is and what filetype it is. then load the 150 or 200mhz sound file into the editor and match the filetype and length. Load the new vibration sound file back onto the gtab and slect it as the sound for the keyboard.

Ringtones

I've searched and I've searched but cannot find it anywhere
By "it" I mean any reference to any normal ringtones that are
a) more like the sorta things you find in Nokias
b) not sh!t when put through WMP10.
I still like the oldphone as supplied on the first XDA I had, but I sometimes would like just to have a nice discreet "ring ring" or a "bip....bip....bip" style ringer rather than "RIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNG" which sounds loud even on a low volume setting.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers
Ant
Dear Ant,
Now you've got a cool device and you long for Nokia ringtones? I do not get this. I've uploaded some ringtones for you. Please download them and place them in the Windows/Rings directory. The Dave Brubeck one is very cool and quite discreet. The Bernard Hermann one you might recognize form Kill Bill vol I.
It's 6 ringtones in total:
Dave Brubeck - Take 5
Bernard Hermann - Twisted Nerve
Eurytmics - Sweet Dreams
Lumidee - Never Leave you
Rocky Theme
The Cure - Lullaby
I hope you enjoy them and never long for Nokia tunes again!
Rgds,
Izzard
LOL you don't understand....I've had XDA phones for nearly 3 years now and I've gone through all the extravagent ringtones.
I don't know if anyone else is the same, but the saturation of ringtones in the past 2 years (constant adverts with ****e ringtones based on ****e songs) has left me wanting to be different by NOT having a stupid ringtone on my phone. I've had oldphone for the LONGEST time and I work in a professional environment so it suits. The kiora song as my ringtone lasted about a week before I got bored of it and thought I wanted to something better. Someone had crazyfrog at work and when it went off we all took the p*ss out of him for it!
Thanks for your efforts but yes I am still hankering after the more sensible ringtones that they had. I still have Homer telling me there's a new text message, though! :wink:
Ant
when you can use wma ringtones the options are endless
heck you could use your xda to record any nokia phone make it wma and use it
Been there, done that. Though the recordings were never particularly good. Might try again with my girlfriend's 7610.
Cheers
Ant
Try this one, bit loud but not a bad "normal" tone
Think it came from here originally
Oops try again.

Alarm sounds

Hi guys,
I am fairly new to this forum and this is my first post and i would like to say a big hello to everyone.
I am outstanded by the amount of time and effort that has gone in to some of the development for the wm phones as i am a new user and have recently got a HTC touch diamond.
The problem that I have is that the standard alarm sounds are pretty pants to say the least and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or could post some decent alarm sounds that i can wake up to.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi, get hold of a program called RJV ToneSetter and you can use any sound for your alarm. I usually have a music track and let it play all the way through 2 or 3 times before i stop it
Well, this is a complicated theme, as maybe you want a specific tone or music
I would recommend you to make your own with some music editor (Nero wave editor) so you can choos your music, then save it as WMA file and that´s it!
Hope it helps

Philips Fidelio For android

I don't know if you have seen these, but finally someone has made some great speakers/dock stations for our android devices. I hope that these are just the first of many to come.
Philips Fidelio
It's Bluetooth, which means it's unreliable at best. And, of course, as everything that comes from Philips butt, it is about $50 overpriced for what it is.
But I am with you, given the absolute dearth of good speaker docks for android, it is tempting.
I have had the larger Philips fidelio speaker for about a month now and have no regrets! Bluetooth streams seamlessly and provide rich bass
Sent from my Triumph using XDA App
How well does the app work with it? Do you have any pics of it being docked?
The native app needs improvement but I use a third party app anyways
Sent from my Triumph using XDA App
which 3rd party apps do you use?
Got the clock radio round one and like it as a dock and speaker but the app leads to significant battery drain in standby when not charging
Interested in what app you are using as well. The Fidelio app is annoying trying to open every time I plug my phone in.

Got one for Christmas
Just thought that I would post and let you all know that I got the Philips AS851/37 Fidelio for Christmas. I love it. The sound is great, there are only two problems that I have with it so far, and only one of them is really a problem. First is that yes the Philis app sucks. Just use what ever audio programs you have been using and it works great. The second issue is that I love it so much I can't make up my mind which room of the house I want to keep it in. So I just move it around with me sometimes.
Did anyone of you find out the best apps to use with Fidelio? I got my new AS111 a few days ago. I really like the piece of hardware but the app is really crap.
Right now I'm testing Alarm Clock Plus which seems quite good so far.
One problem I'm having right now is that after a power outage here the clock on the device doesn't synk up again. I guess this is because I don't have the Fidelio app anymore, when I had it installed it wasn't any problem. If this is the case, does anyone know any other way to fix it than installing the Fidelio app?
/Daniel
Hi everyone ! Got one for my birthday, and I must say the excitement vanished quite quickly...
I'm spending a lot of enery trying to replace the Fidelio app, but so far without success.
I set the Fidelio (aka DockStation) alarm clock on "no sound" in order to let another third party alarm app play music, but the music keeps getting out in the smartphone speakers instead of the Fidelio's, and worse, I still get the forest birds ambiant sound ! I tried several alarm clock apps, even the Alarm Clock Plus mentionned above, none will let the sound go through bluetooth, although the media players are able to.
Does someone have any complete Bluetooth + Alarm combination working ?
Edit : forget what I said, I didn't go deep enough in the alarm apps options. There is one to use the music stream instead of the alarm stream when bluetooth on, and it was not activated by default. Works as a charm now.
Set Time on Fidelio

Hey folks, I know, that this thread was long dead,
but because there was no solution in setting the clock on your fidelio device without using their app,
I created an App that does that. I tested it on my Nexus 7 with JB and on my Nexus 4 with KitKat and it works on both devices.
If someone needs it, try it and report if it works with other Fidelio devices as well.
Heres the Google Play Link: "Edit" sorry, Im not able to post links yet. My App is called Fidelio Time (de.fideltime.time)

[Q] What a stupid system!!!

Hi, guys!
I can't set my mp3 file as a ringtone! Is there any way to do it without cutting it?
Thank you!
Sadly not has to be under 40 seconds and under 1mb

Exactly under 39s
@thread starter: if you have any trouble in cutting stuffs, i will do it for ya, just give me a PM.
Actually it's not stupid. i don't want to hear your 3 minute song lol!
I myself have never found a reason to have a ringtone longer than ~40 seconds. 40 seconds is a *very* long time to answer your phone, most people have hung up by then. So what's the point of having a 3 Minute ringtone if you're never even going to hear it in it's full lenght? If you want to listen to music, start playing it in Zune
Thanks
Thank you, guys!
But it really not comfortable to do so many operations in order to set a ringtone. Android is much simpler - just one-two touches and a ringtone ir ready!
Thank you anyway
While I agree that it's a lot easier on android than the current way on WP7, i find the result of the later more statisfying because you can select the part you like best as your ringtone (chorus or a specific guitar solo). I find that most of my music has slow and/or silent intros, right from the top of my head I can only think of one song that I would want the intro from as a ringtone...

So what are the issues with One S right now

I have Samsung Hercules (sgs2 for TMO) for sometime now and though there is plenty to love about that phone, I don't like the audio quality on it. To those of you thinking I must be a snobbish audiophile kind...no I'm not that, far from that, I have $30 IEMs and there is big difference when I switch from mp3 player to the phone. I've tried DSPs and EQs, it still is not good enough. I had HD2 before that and I didn't feel that much of difference going from mp3 player to phone. Now judging by gsmarena review, it seems One S has pretty excellent audio and I'm thinking of change.
Biggest deal breaker however for me is non-expandable storage on One S, but I think I can manage with 16GB. Which brings me to my first question, how much space is available to user out of this 16gb on the phone ?
What are the other major/minor issues on this phone worth mentioning (i dont care about non removable battery).
My Ville is just fine but some people have issues with theirs.
You get 2GB for apps and about 10GB for your "SD card". It's really not a huge deal. I use Spotify and Google Music so I don't have to keep much on the phone anyways.
Sounds just fine by the way.
This phone doesnt have many problems. It is probly tmobile's best right now
Sense 4 is nice and not too bloaty, camera is speedy, and this phone is lightning fast
However, it does like to get hot when I play games

One gripe I have is why my facebook calendar doesn't display the correct time when synced with my calendars on my phone. I had an event tonight at 8 that was correct on facebook (central time zone) but it was being displayed an hour ahead for 9 PM.
Another gripe I have is the screen itself. The pentile display looks grainy.
My third gripe is that it randomly rebooted three times now when I was leaving work. I was listening to music I had pinned to listen offline from google music. My phone is connected to my work wifi, but when it switches to the regular cell network while listening to google music, it reboots. I am not streaming music with google music, its already been pinned to listen offline.
Fourth gripe is related to google music and HTC's music player. When I pin songs to play while offline, I don't know why HTC's music player doesn't recognize them. So I can't use them to make ringtones unless I have them loaded onto my phone.
Gripe number 4.5 is that this phone doens't support FLAC files. I am just getting into this file format, tho, so its not a big deal.
Fifth gripe is that I wish the app drawer had the same swipe effect that the galaxy nexus has where if you swipe it to the side, the next group of apps comes from the back to the front.
Sixth gripe is I don't know why but when my my phone is plugged into my speakers and I get a notification like a text or an email, for some reason it interrupts the music and the notification sound plays through the speakers. I'll have to experiment with this some more, tho.
Seventh gripe is all the t-mobile bloatware. Yes, I can root it if I really wanted to, but I'm too lazy.
Eighth gripe is swype. Doesn't install because of the 3-dotted menu button that appears that makes swype think the resolution is less than it really is. And the native HTC Swype keyboard blows.
With all that said, BEATS AUDIO IS SOO RAD!! Except I haven't really found an equalizer. But I only listen to my music through google music, so I don't know. Also, the sound through the speaker is so crisp and clear!
AND it is very very fast and snappy! The camera is SO fast. I haven't shot any videos with it yet, but just a few pictures.
As for all my gripes, I reckon that there are some fixes for some of them. I am considering getting a galaxy nexus to see how it compares and then sell whichever one I don't like. I looked at a galaxy nexus today at the store, tho, and while it was a demo unit that keeps the screen on all the time, there was still bad bad burn in. Anyway, I hope that helps you out a bit.
Only issues ive had are really minor bugs. Like when i play temple run it sometimes lags out even though i cleared the ram and cleared any running apps. i disabled everything tmobile put on the phone but it doesnt matter cause their **** keeps popping up -_- will have to root i guess.
biggest thing with my particular phone was the call quality. it SUCKED. everyone i heard on my phone sounded really buzzy and shaky. waiting on a replacement. i really have had no real issues except for random crap that happens due to apps and stuff and limitations on certain apps. its a really good phone =) i love it. just need to get used to its length is all.

i noticed the htc keyboard has a stock swype in it while u type which kinda bugs me a lil bit since i don't mess with swype too much . .makes it feel kind of a lag while u just one key type it
You can turn that feature off. Just go to settings>language and keyboards>HTC Sense Input> and turn off trace keyboard if you already haven't.

It wont see the files because Google Music puts a .nomedia file in the folder that it downloads the music files to. DoubleTwist is able to see past that and allows you to play the downloaded files. It might have FLAC support too, not sure.

1. Sounds like some digging around on facebook/phone settings should change that, I can't see it being off by an hour with no fix..
2. Eh, yeah from up close you're right, this was a gripe from before the phone was even released. I guess I don't mind cause I use my phone more for business not multimedia..while it is slightly noticeable, its still a great screen. Some will notice/care more than others.
3. Havent had this happen personally but I have read other people experiencing the same thing. Since its a known issue I'm sure HTC will release a fix (or an XDA Rom cook)
4. Move files from .nomedia to a different (music) folder on your device.
4.5. Not uncommon for a phone to not support flac by default, search for flac in android market there's plenty of free and paid options to use.
5. That's the default android launcher, because you're running sense its a different app drawer. Download Apex launcher for an AOSP style launcher (you will loose Sense widgets, but it will seem more like Galaxy Nexus).
6. The notification you're getting is from Beats, its a little red B icon. Just letting you know its 'enhancing' your sound. Don't know if you can change this...
7. Yeah tons of crap on this thing..no choice but root. It's pretty easy, most time is spent downloading the files. Rest is a piece of cake. (Note you will have to factory reset to unlock bootloader from HTC, so you will loose everything. Make sure you backup first if you do this).
8. Root, install Noble Rom or mod in development forum to remove dots.
Overall there are fixes and workarounds for most of it, or atleast will be soon. If you like the nexus flash an AOSP Rom and stick with the HTC metal build IMO, unless the screen is that big of a deal, then Nexus.
Good luck, let me know if I helped at all

my biggest gripe is that it is terrible at multitasking. Often times I will be doing simple tasks like browsing the web and I will press the home button and the phone has to reload the home screens. It is very annoying. The phone is pretty snappy but my old Samsung vibrant never had such problems with multitasking. I think it must be sence being so heavy.

Decided not to go with One S. 10gb is too low, since my offline gps software eats almost 4gb leaving only 6gb for me. I'll stick with sgs2 and wait for next best thing..Thanks guys..
BTW all the other issue if any, seems to be on software side which would be fixed already with custom roms or may be fixed soon..HTC has done a good job this time..but too bad they had to leave out SD card and only give 10gb of usable space on phone. If they are claiming 16gb they should have alteast made sure that user has access to 15gb of space especially when there is no option to expand
technically it is 16gb.. 1.7 gb for the ROM, 2.5gb for the apps, 10.5gb left for the user..
however i do think it was a sneaky decision, It should be 16gb left AFTER the space for ROM and apps.

I've had mine almost a week now and only had a few small issues.
1: Swype, which has already been mentioned
2: Pandora isn't working for me. It will play a song, start the next song and about 5 seconds in it skips on its on. Plays the next song completely then repeats. I have an email into the dev on it. (If anyone else has had this issue or knows whats causing it, I would be eternally grateful, im an addict)
3: Google music locked my phone up for about 5 minutes the other day while listening in my car.
4: Misc apps not being supported yet (but its to be expected on a newer version of the software)
My only other issue is that I'm just not a huge fan of sense, but atleast 4.0 is tolerable for now until an official release of cyanogen comes out.

That would be a bad workaround IMHO. For a start, there is no folder named .nomedia - there are many multiples of folders where Google Music store the files, and each one will have a .nomedia file in there. Plus, moving the files out would possibly make Google Music re-download the offline files etc. Causing duplication of space used and the need to repeat the process in its entirety if you wanted to pull more files down.

Phone is great, ive had a couple of random reboots and twice where it says its preparing sim!?
overall fantastic phone, some moan about the screen its not up to the one x screen but its far better than the sensation screen with the mods they have done, battery life has been a major bonus for me easily get a full day from it. As other say its very snappy, my friend has a one x and on most things weve tested in real use terms there is no obvious difference in performance.
Best phone i've had bar none.
