Hi, I'm using android on my tilt 2 right now and like it quite a bit. However, I won't use it full time because it doesn't have sound support or camera support, or bluetooth lol.
Do we have an ETA for those things?
Also, would someone please instruct me as to how I can find/measure the hardware interrupts of the device so that I may pass the info along to some other developers I know who don't have an HTC phone.
Thanks

i feel a flaming coming on... you might want to read some threads before speaking in here...
It's an honest enough question here.
I don't mean to seem impatient, because i'm not. I'm happy with what there is. Was simply wondering, especially because I may be able to contribute to the project.
If you're going to flame though, I guess it's time to get your caps-lock on. Won't bother me.
You could have asked this in one of the main threads... or used the search function to search for your answer which has been all along "when we get it we get it... no eta"
Seems pointless to start a new thread on this thats all

No one questions your honesty. It is just that this topic has been discussed ad nauseum. It would have been easier for you to just to do a simple search.

Last I heard was something about by July, but refusing to lock it down to a specific year.
no1 knows man, it will come out when it comes out ,just gotta wait
This question has been asked many times in this forums, but at the current state for the Rhodium, we don't have drivers for the sound from what I have heard.
As for bluetooth, I am not sure what the current state is, but I heard that the bluetooth is a completely different from other devices that HTC has made.

Maybe we should make this a sticky for those who can't read too good or are too lazy to use the search option. Kind of getting tired of going through the main thread and half the posts are just the same regurgitated questions. Or maybe we should create a ban if the same question has been asked more than say 3 times.
If you want to help there is some IRC channel or something I think I remember reading. or PM phhusson maybe? He seems to be heavily involved.
In case you didnt notice, people are a little sensitive about the sound/camera questions around here. Probably because they were flamed for asking it too It almost like it is the first question everyone asks when running android for the first time.
cameraand sound?
I think that's like asking when exactly will Windows Phone 7 come out, or when will the next solar eclipse be, maybe even, where did you put your keys last?
When people get it to work is when you will have it. I don't think anyone knows exactly how it works, something to do with hardware issues, so until it's cracked/figured out there can't be a date.
roast him !!!!

That's it! I now know we're getting sound and bluetooth on July 11th this year, at precisely 19:34:38 UTC!

Sorry, couldn't resist Gotta admit, eclipses are really interesting things. Maybe read about 'em to pass the time while the chefs continue do their awesome work on these difficult technological puzzles.
really
some of you guys are funny and make jokes about it which is funny and tolerable, but then we have those "followers" that repeat what is already stated (roast em this and that it was said already really how many posts do we have to see about that.) its a forum, it a community and give positive help and stop always cherping because a. u probably didnt have the nadz to roast anyone and b. really you didnt have to come to the post to read it you could have easliy went to the next one. its ten times easier to give help and pass a joke damn stop being so uptight become a leader not a follower...pretty much everything is unknown till they release it or they mention it on the site, but feel as thou the camera will probably be the last thing thou if they do get it to work properly (all speculative based on the fuze)
A good read: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=121743
Well, it's good to see some positive feedback on here
I appreciate all of your guys' answers!
I came accross this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ6pr8AJxbg
It is showing a working speaker while in-call @ 4min.
How's that possible ?
I guess it was a mistake making the ARM9 launch the rear-speaker when in call, but can't that help ?

he was using the speakerphone when he booted android. you know, it seems a lot of crap is dependant upon being active in windows for it to work in android (keyboard backlight, front hardkey lights, etc.). i wonder is there a way to make everything active at boot time, like camera, speaker, etc etc. not saying it would magically make the stuff work properly, but might make it easier to mess with some stuff to try n get it working ?
I was thinking the same thing, I tried playing music when I started up android.. no luck, and the speaker phone is just a line the the startup.txt if Im remembering correctly
Hey guys!
This is my first post, and I hope that it is in the right section of the forum.
I got my X8 from my brother, who threw it on the road (drunk). Since then, the speaker has issues, it has some kind of "crunchy/static" sound when I talk to people, when they say specific words/sounds. The loudspeaker/ringer is working fine.
I want to get a spare speaker, but I can't find one on the internet, only loudspeakers and all the other parts. Any ideas?
Any answer will be much appreciated
Is this : http://www.techgsm.com/Earpiece_Sony_Ericsson_XPERIA_X8_E15i_Original_,118334.html what are your searching for?
I guess, I haven't tried with "earpiece". Thank you very much!
Just ordered it on ebay, you can close the topic, thank you dimitri!
Anytime mate , this community here is to help each other.Good luck!
I hope the developers check this section, since I don't have post permissions in the developer area.
I've been following the utter failure to resolve issues surrounding Bluetooth on the Captivate Glide for over a year now.
A2DP works well in JellyBean, but only for music. HSP doesn't work at all, because no actual programmers have approached the problem of correctly setting the various sample rates at the appropriate times for input and output for the various bluetooth profiles, a peculiarity of the Glide (which Samsung handled in ICS, but no one wants ICS anymore). Not to mention the choice of different audio libraries and bluetooth stacks.
That said, I'm offering a 500 dollar (U.S.) bounty for anyone who resolves this problem, in any country. It's worth at least that much to me, and would certainly benefit others as well.
If anyone is interested, they can respond here, or privately, or contact me on linkedin if they feel the need to verify that this offer is real.
Regards and keep up the effort,
Mark Abene
Yes, I'm serious.
GrammarNazi, I saw your post in the developer forum. Yes, I'm very serious.
I also private messaged bubor and Adam77Root, since they were the last developers
who were researching the bluetooth problem several months ago.
No response as of yet. I'm hoping they consider my offer.
Regards,
Mark
No takers?
Wow, it's just about a week now, and I've had zero takers. None.
Where's the motivation? There's a lot of talent on here, so I'm a little surprised.
Regards,
Mark
Its very complicated. I couldnt find somebody who could fix tinyalsa (voip sound) issue, what is pretty easy.
You may ask in i9103's forum.

Now I see what you mean. The people in that other forum are STRANGE.
Anyway, thanks for your continued work.

Hi,
I know there are several threads knocking about already on this topic, but they don't quite give me the answers I'm looking for and they're old so I don't think I'll get a response to my reply.
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/help/to-add-mirrorlink-t3631587 and https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/test-mirrorlink-t3678192)
From reading these threads and looking around the rest of the forum for the XZ2 Compact I'm sort of gathering the impression that in order for this to be possible I need to root my device (which I don't understand), but that would cause all sorts of complications with something about DRM because Sony doesn't support this... Why is root required? Is there a way to do it without? Can any of this happen on Pie or does it have to be Oreo?
I have a lot of questions but I suppose the most important one is can this even be done? Because I'm more than happy to continue trawling through the forums trying to figure my way through the various steps, but with the amount of complications and issues I'm reading about I don't want to go ahead with this if it's not even possible to get Mirrorlink working.
Any advice or tips or anything would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry to bump
Sorry to bump but is there anyone with any knowledge on this?
It seems nowadays that these forums have become a total waste to anyone if you dont have the latest devices or what help with rooting them. Other than that there is no interest in sharing or helpinp others anymore. I have posts that were posted in various forums,some months ago already and have had absolutely no feedback on them.
What is the point of even posting anything anymore,if nobody out there is bothered to help with advice,sharing files,apk's,mods etc anymore. I am really disappointed that the community in general seems to have just given up on anything other than the latest and greatest.

The android phone market is a trap that many people fall into. Yesterday, we were buying smarthphones to make them last, and Xda was there to give these phones a second life. But today, people are buying phones because they MUST buy. It's become a fashion accessory, and this consumption pattern has affected the look of the forum. The world of new technologies no longer takes the time to live, unfortunately ...

I would like to point out something you may have missed, i could be mistaken. However, this is (my reply) is truly valid.
I have modded smart phones and devices, i usually follow tutorials, Even if i may seem invisible. With that said, yes the infrastructure of technology is to move forward and "keep up'. I believe you missed what xda-developers means.
You don't need to keep up with the trends, afterall it's a decision only you can make.
Maybe you would benefit from buying old devices, and creating your own design. Customised. Just like an artist paints a pucture, inspired by the souroudning.
Please understand that I'm just a menber as you, but using an alternative thought process of what's going on here. I am unbiased, so i basically sit on the fence with everything. But c'mon. I ported andoid 11 on an S2. Unstable, but thats why this place exists. You have provided valuable feedback. I agree on one side, but would never bite the hanf that feeds me. so to speak..
I believe in development and not destruction.
In your case, honestly. if you're happy with it, stick with it.

Thank you for your feedback. We are actively working on ways to promote more helping and sharing of content on XDA. If you have any ideas, would love to hear about them!
The issue I have seen over the years is that many people come on XDA looking for it to be a "help site". Many want something for free. But, in order to get, you should give. XDA is about sharing of mobile device knowledge.

Help whores... some too lazy or inept to do Google searches and take the time to sort it out.
After which they vanish*.
Problem with that is to use these devices effectively you must immerse yourself in them to some degree.
This site provides an effective platform to aid that learning curve whatever your end goal is.
Learning from others mistakes is always better than making them yourself...
Both Google and the manufacturers push OS's and hardware platforms in a self serving way which is many times in direct conflict with the end user's best interests. This site helps to provide workarounds for the many issues this creates.
Something for everyone is not a bad thing...
*That's better than the spammers hawking the voodoo wuv
Yes,i agree with your statement. But of late,the help you speak of or learninm from others does not happen anymore. In my specific caseg have posted to various manufacturer forums asking for said help and advice and have got not one reply on any of those forums and topics in question.
Hence my saying that it seems to have become a place where if you dont have the newest available handsets etc,you wont get answers to your questions etc anymore because all the top developers are trying to keep up with the latest Android software releases and the latest camera etc technologies to take the collective community forward,but sadly it is to the detriment of the majority who cannot for whatever reason move forward with them and are stuck using older devices and then as a result dont get any feedback anymore on their questions etc.

Part the problem is the thread shows up once in the sea of other threads and quickly gets sunk to the bottom.
It's a busy site. Not sure what can be done expect bumping the thread every few days or whatever.
Separating the rooting, moding, new app threads from general questions might help... or just create more confusion. Probably do more harm than good.
(Edit) Personally I enjoy the cross exposure to other devices and platforms as it increases my knowledge/awareness base.
It's fascinating even if I don't always understand all of it.

Lot's of stuff for older devices has been covered. i.e. developers move on to latest devices, they develop, research, post etc. before moving on and at some point that device becomes an "older" device of which info/data already exists..
either way, cant expect everything to be covered as it's impossible. I was at that point once upon a time.. once i realized cant always rely on an experienced dev to be there to answer all my questions is when its great to research and learn on your own.. eventually stuff will become easy and you might have ppl asking u for help.. thats a positive thing about xda and the internet, theres endless knowledge out there if you are patient and willing to learn.
There

That, but also the fact that the technology has slowed down quite a bit. It was only a few years ago where most phones would begin to feel slightly sluggish on stock OS after a year of updates...Now? A relative of mine bought a mid range Motorola phone from 2019 and it's fast as can be, game wise it's decent too. The incentive to eek out more "oomph" isn't as high as it used to be - imo.
