[Q] Hardware Button Music Advance app? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anybody tried "Music Control Lite?" This was developed for the Droid and I couldn't get it to work for the Hero. But I've been looking for something like this for MONTHS, something where I could advance the songs by pressing a hardware button (i.e., when I'm on a treadmill from my pocket without having to swipe open the screen). Blackberry's have allowed you to advance or go back by hard-pressing the volume buttons since my old Curve. Does anybody know anything that does this with the Hero?
I know I can get a BT Headset with the buttons but my Hero rooted, non-rooted no matter what ROM I'm on just skips and slows to a crawl in BT mode ever since I got it last October...
Someone told me that Darchdroid rom had this ability, but was just checking to see if an app did this before I loaded a new rom, on Fresh 2.3.3 now..

Idle screen timer + Voip == Dropped calls.

I have managed to get M$-Voip working, but when the screen goes black so does my call. Also, when the screen goes black no amount of touching keys will bring it back from standby, but if I slide the keyboard unit it will come back out of its crypt ( i think the wifi drops). I had initially installed SPL-1.00-OliPof or what not, and upon discovering that is an old piece of software I upgraded to HardSPL-3.29 [through jumpspl-1.5x] hoping that this would relieve my issue. The SPL upgrade was after a radio upgrade, and the radio upgrade [er downgrade from a 1.7x rom to a 1.6x rom made the camera and phone work ]. At this point, I'm not sure if this is a OS rom issue, or Radio Rom issue. My oem setup had 3.57 within a version number if that is any thing I believe it was for the OS rom, other than that I cannot be sure of anything else. Bringing me to ask, are radio roms for the kaiser dependant upon minor hardware alterations between kaiser models, or are they more dependent on the alterations contained within the software side of things ( SPL's, Os Rom's )?
(I have a at&t tilt 8925 (kais 100) )
Also any suggestions in getting this phone where it should be would be greatly accepted. I am hoping to get the best graphics I can, the best speed I can bargain for, while maintaining the native voip capabiltiy unless someone can recommend a good voip client that integrates well into the phone I tried fring but it doesn't have a keypad [WTF?!] (i.e. your in voice mail and need to press 2 to hear your mail, no keypad makes me feel impotent at such junctures)..But yes right now my main issue is this display-standby problem..
Thank you!

You could use this DontSleep to stop it going to sleep add it to a hardware button for quick access "Start\Settings\Buttons", you could try and use advanced config but not sure if voip calls are the same as voice.
Yeah maybe I will look into that for an extremely temporary workaround. But, I don't want kill my tilt by pulling the keyboard in and out to see whats up. Seriously it just dies black and stays that ways. so uncool.

Sorry i was under the impression that it only does the black screen during VOIP but your actually having this issue all the time when the phone goes into sleep.

[Q] Problem: SGS plays music by itself. What's up?

Hi Guys,
I do have a really strange problem with my Galaxy S i9000. It randomly plays music by itself without opening any player. I can never know when it starts and even if I kill all tasks and most of the services (all I can) it won't stop. If I open the player it does not show any active playback. I can stop the playback if I slide down the upper status bar. I also can adjust the playback volume normally but it is very loud even on the lowest level.
In fact, it is always the same song (no mp3, it's a FLAC) which is located here:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/MP3/Paul Kalkbrenner...Berlin_Calling(FLAC)/14...
Some guys in a Moto Droid Forum already experienced the same problem with 2.1:
hXXp://androidforums.com/motorola-milestone/64497-music-playing-itself.html
I have no idea what I can do. I did not test/hack a lot and the phone is set up pretty fresh and clean.
Froyo 2.2 (JP6) flashed with Kies RegHack
Root done with ]SuperOneClick v1.5
OCLF V2+
All installed Apps are major ones and well know. So nothing special, spectacular or risky. Does anybody know what the root cause of the problem could be?
I do hope there are some ideas what I could do. Of course I could uninstall the built in player, move or delete the file but that wouldn't be a "real" solution or explain what happens. Please help! Thank you.
Best regards,
DvP

weirdly enough I had a variant of this until very recently, when it just suddenly stopped happening.
In my case, the music player would repeatedly restart itself, although it wouldn't actually be playing a track. By repeatedly I mean every time I picked the phone up I'd check running apps and find the music player there. This was on a brand new, completely un-tampered-with phone.
I went to JPM via Odin recently and rooted the phone and then the behaviour stopped.
Is there any way how I can find out which process is playing the music? I could try to make a video when the song runs again to show that no application is running at all if that helps :-/

[Q] Extended controls reboot won't work

Hello all,
Forgive me if this has been mentioned somewhere, I was unable to find anything significant about it. I recently upgraded my Captivate to Android 2.2 through samsung kies, rooted it, installed RyanZA's one click lag fix, and stripped all the AT&T and Samsung bloatware (including TWLauncher and samsung widgets). The phone now runs great, very snappy and smooth and everything seems entirely functional for and stable for the most part, except that the reboot button on my extended controls widget never works, when I confirm that I want to reboot it just sits there and says "rebooting" forever (or until I press the home key and it goes back to my homescreen.) I get the impression that extended controls is failing to request superuser permissions, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling and still nothing. Has anyone run into this issue or does anyone have any advice? Many thanks!

[Q] Software buttons ICS on ICS roms.

Hey guys, lately i've been really annoyed because i can't use any ICS rom properly, mainly because my MENU button is not working.
I got this app "ButtnRemapper" which reassigned my hardware keys to the one i wanted.
So i switched the home button to menu and it worked great on the Gingerbread ones, but on the ICS roms it would not work!
That's why i'm asking if there is any possibilites of porting software button as the Galaxy Nexus has.
bump le bump
Not meaning to be captain obvious, but why not consider getting your home button fixed? Flash your phone back to original state and no warranty problems there - and after some time you'll finally be able to fully enjoy your phone.

Want to go to Gingerbread!

Where can I find a stock Gingerbread ROM at? When I purchased my phone it already had ICS on it, and honestly I do not like it at all. I jumped to my favorite phone mod site (XDA) and did some searching but came up empty handed. Can anyone assist me with my request? Thanks!

Sorry. There are not any GB ROMs for the D4 that will work on ICS. The GB D4 ROMs there are are not compatible with the ICS kernel. Maybe if you can describe the issues you are having with ICS we can help you with those.

Mainly just nitpicking things, but the one thing I've had an issue with ICS is the fact that I cannot link notification and ringer volumes together.
Another issue I'm having is when typing using the hardware keyboard, I'll be typing something and the cursor will
jump and start typing at the beginning. Happened just as I was typing this reply, too.

That is odd stock ICS does not have the functionality to link notification and ringer volume. You should be able to find an app on the market that will give you this functionality. Found this on another forum with a quick google search: "Get cvolume from the market. Under settings you need to check notification volume not(Use incoming call volume for notifications). Works great" aarong03 - DroidForums
There are other volume control apps out there as well that may have similar functions. Try some out and let us know!
Not sure about the cursor jumping on you. It seems like I had this problem once too and it ended up being something I was doing that was causing it but I cannot think for the life of me what it was. Some button I was hitting or something.

Thanks for the information. I have tried many volume apps that claim to link the volumes together, but do not work. I basically just want to use my hardware volume buttons as a master volume control, so when I set it with the hardware buttons, nothing is higher. or lower than that volume. I had a Samsung captivate glide on att that was running GB and the app that I used on that phone did not work on my D4 for linking volume. I tried this cvolume app and it doesn't seem to be working either, even though the option to link them is set.

I use audio manager pro. It costs about $3 but is well worth it - Play Store

There is also a free version that just doesn't allow saving of profiles.

I've been using AudioGuru for profile selection, but I would much rather be able to dynamically change the volume of notifications and ringer together from the hardware buttons instead of set profiles with defined volume levels at each.
I have not found an app yet that works on this phone/ICS that works to lock both volumes together.
Perhaps I will just have to wait until JB is officially released for our phones. But I really liked GB on my previous phone, its too bad I can't get a ROM to work from ICS to GB, considering that the phone was originally released with GB.
Another thing I don't like about ICS is the stock messaging only let's you save a maximum of 1000 messages per contact. I would prefer messages never get automatically deleted, and in ICS it cannot be disabled, you can only change the max number of kept messages.
If you attempt to downgrade the phone to official GB there is a very high risk of bricking the phone.
I'd recommend you stop trying to do this and instead try to either get used to ICS or to replace the bits you don't like with some 3rd party apps.
I'm always having that cursor problem with the keyboard. Happens whenever I open up the keyboard and immediately start typing. Wait a second or two before typing, and it's usually ok. Seems the input editor is too slow to initialize itself, so it's still trying to set the cursor to column zero by the time you start typing...

did you try yourself before suggesting?
There is no risk in downgrading to GB via SBF. No risk, because you will most certainly B R I C K your phone. So learn to live with it.
I too have some issues with ICS. The cursor jump happens to me too, and I hate it. I also have issues with BT volume control. Music is no problem, but controlling Youtube volume does not work for me. And when docked (lapdock or plain HDMI cable) volume also doesn't work. On or off, nothing in between.
But still, I think ICS runs much smoother than GB.
with locked bootloader is unable to brick droid ( always is way to get back phone to life) but ppl must know what ar they doing

Yes you can (maybe) bring your phone back to life, but one thing that will definitely not happen is that Gingerbread ROM actually booting. The locked bootloader does not allow you to downgrade.
Do not even bother trying to downgrade it will waste your time and you may end up with a brick.

At least I know I am not the only one with the cursor jump issue. And yes, I notice it only happens to me when I open the keyboard and immediately start typing. I will have to start being patient and give it a few seconds before typing.
I've tried many different Volume apps, and even when locking volume settings are enabled, the volumes are not locked when I adjust it with the hardware volume rocker.
I did read that JB will be getting an official push to the D4, but they have not said when. ICS just doesn't set too well with me for some reason. Yes, it runs pretty smooth, but I don't like it's all black theme, some functionality that was left out, and the new widget being part of the app list doesn't always show new widgets immediately. I guess my biggest upset about it is that it seems rather... buggy or undeveloped. To me, GB seemed to be more developed and work the way you would come to expect an android OS to run now days, and ICS just isnt there yet. Hopefully JB will be better...

I bricked my first droid 4 without problems with locked bootloader. do you want a link I sell it for parts?

unless you borked your bootloader or had a hardware failure niko is right there is no way to hard brick your phone just by flashing roms/sbf's
as long as your bootloader is intact you are able to recover your device
All that said, there's no reason someone couldn't get a vanilla AOSP GB build working with the ICS kernel for use with safestrap. On the XDAndroid project we had a single Linux 3.5 kernel working for Froyo, GB, and ICS. It's not a slamdunk, but the amount of patching required isn't that bad.
