Thanks for the upload.
Have you tried downgrading device's bootloader with bootloader only flasher prior the attepmting to upgrade to new rom? It worked for DASH owners before. I believe that SPL bootloader only firmware file is uploaded to local ftp.

Hey jsp_m, nice changelog for that rom
Moved to safe heaven:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe

ROM is Very smooth, I Installed Tornado Power Control, Agile Beta, Sk tools, Skype, IM+, Oxios Alarms, Smart Tweaker, and Total commander.. No problems Running programs or initiating calls.. In call volume is louder, Speaker phone volume is louder, Phone doesn't hang anymore.. Thats all for now.. Still no t9 or holding down a button for secondary character. thats all i really wanted.. Everything else is cool..

I wouldn't mind upgrading to this ROM but my fear is I won't be able to get back to the original T-Mobile ROM since it hasn't been released yet.
As soon as that happens I'll be sure to start testing.

without cid unlock - just flash first the mentioned SPL
Ps. It seems to perfectly resemble my keyboard, ? and @ are on the right places.. it's just that Z and Y are replaced, and now it's just like on my computer, but opposite of my keyboard I've been getting used to the last month ;D
very stabile and good ROM, no more of those problems the screen won't come on after standby and homescreen wallpaper has a visible HTC logo (aligned)..fast and furious DDD

I am not getting any speech regarding calls from known people already in Contacts.....etc.
Any suggestions?

OK.....what should MSVC Notification Options be set to?
Cheers

i think the software u hav isnt complete because when u install it correctly and reboot when receiving a call or text it should say who is textin or callin u, but msvc works without any problems, if u hav the full verison goto start-settings-voice command-contacts and then hit options button to see if active

More importantly, can we change the voice to something more human?

I think this is a cracking piece of software, although it would be nice if it could also read out your RSS feeds (when asked to do so) and it would be amazing if you could dictate txt messages.
The only down side to using it with the Touch HD is that you have to map the call button to long press, to make it listen. Not the end of the world, but not as good as just being able to click once. For some reason it wont let me map the "back" button, which would be better, since I never use it.
Also while you are able to start applications via voice command ("start camera" being one of the most useful). There doesnt seem to be a way to close the apps in the same way.

I agree that it is a cracking piece of software.
Maybe with AEButton you can map the back button to the 'voicecmd.exe'

I tried the trial from two different sites and whenever i install it on the HD i got a "unrecoverable error" when installation finishes.
First time i was unable to even access settings to remove it so i had to resort to ActiveSync to get rid of it.
Another try from a different source gave me the same error but this time round i was able to access settings to remove it.
I'm afraid of even trying anymore.

Ummm - I do have the complete MS Voice Command and based on another post now realise that each sub-function in the menu has its own options.
I had assumed the Option button was just a general overall one. The "User Guide" is a tad basic really....
So all sorted now and thanks to all with advice....much appreciated.
Now then....how can we change this to either a smooth female voice or Basil Fawlty....???

not tried that yet, but i'll give it a go.
Using the xperia panels I have been able to map a software button, but obviously the current panels port, isnt 100% as you frequently need to exit in order to do certain things.

OK....I have just realised that although the voice actually works....the phone vibrates but doesn't use the set 'incoming call ring tone'....I would have expected "Ringtone and Vibration" (as it is set) and then voice breaks in with callers name, etc.
What am I missing?
Can someone either attach screenshots of Options and Notification settings or list their Options settings for Contacts and Phone please?
Much appreciated.....

Anyone experience random crashing of their HD? Mine start doing it after I installed this app, this morning my HD did not woke me up so I checked my phone and it was completely dead, power button won't work so I had to resort to the softreset button. This has happened again twice today and I just don't understand where its coming from, as the phone wasn't doing anything in particular at the time(obviously as I was sleeping when it first happened). Only thing I can think of is that its conflicting with AEButton plus, which I used to map the VC to the volume button.

What is the different between this and Cyberon Voice Commander which comes bundled with my THD?

Hi,
I am using Dutty Extreme 2.1, everything seems to work apart from it not reading my e-mails or SMS messages out??
Is it suppose to do this and how can I get it working?
Thanks

My first full time Android phone few questions

This is not One X specific as had same issue on all android phones I tested.
As I never had any for longer never looked to fix it. HD2 android was for fun and Motorola defy as GPS only.
1. Is there a way to make the phone not interrupt music each time it plays notification for e-mail or any other event, more importantly is it possible to make it not stop music while playing GPS instructions?
2. Can I set the GPS to start automatically with Co-Pilot or Google navigation and shut off when I switch off the apps?
3. Is it possible to make the co-pilot work in background and after screen is turned off (still navigate and give voice directions)?
4. Is there a normal way of deleting e-mails in gmail account. If I select e-mails and click delete it downloads them again from server at next update over and over again. The only way I found how to delete it is to select the offending e-mails, move them to thrash folder then run an update. Then delete them. What gives? BTW for e-mail I only use HTC mail app.
5. Can I set the browser to always open websites in full desktop view? Even if I have desktop view option ticked some websites first open in mobile view. I then have to un-tick desktop view so it reloads and tick it again so it reloads to desktop view.
6. Is there an app that will allow me to assign long press key functions to 3 buttons at the bottom?
7. Finally is there an app that will switch off volume buttons when screen is off, always. It is the same issue as it was on HD2 and HD7 however there buttons needed some force to operate on One X a small pressure will operate volume bar. Just winding the headphone wire loosely around phone activates volume buttons.
My device is rooted and is a Tegra 3 device.
Finally a proper One X question is there a list of all pre-installed apps in the stock One X Europe device, description what they do and if it is safe to remove them?

Hey there! I Can sortoff help with a couple of these.
1. Ive experimented with this myself, and i have found that putting the phone to vibrate/silent stops the interruption nearly all the time, at worst it makes the song miss a second.
And for bloatware on your device, most is safe to remove, things such as 7digital, i dont know how to delete them, but you can disable them to make your phone run smoother.
Settings>Apps>All> Find one and tap it> uninstall
If it may cause a disturbance you get a safety warning and a caution about confirming hope this helped alittle.

JDBurnie, thx. I know how to remove bloat ware just root your device. I removed 7 digital, soundhog, few htc services I will never use and all reporting tools. I just know there is more there as there are apks there I have no idea what they link to. Like Coca service? It does not provide free coca-cola or white snow
Re point one will test, it is not a solution but workaround only sadly.

Okay man, no problem and yeh I was looking to do that myself, I've tried alot of roots but I can't seem to root my phone I follow instructions religiously and it doesn't seem to work... But disabling them will work for me good luck!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I used the method where you unlock bootloader via HTCdev.com. Especially that now you can do OTA with it quite easy. Bit of script edit on the phone and then use recovery to load it.

Small issues, quirks and gremlins 7a

Just creating this thread to start a list of small things that I've noticed on the the phone to date.Maybe sometime has answers or similar issues but has found a workaround.
1.Pre Order SD card. Lots of people having issues with this one, send like it needs to be formatted on a pc before it can be recognized?
2. Bluetooth : the phone doesn't seem to like changing broth sources. It won't auto connect to the most recent device and I found that I had to turn it'd my car Bluetooth when connecting to my headphones as the phone kept trying to connect to the car. Bit of a pain. Anyone else have this?
3. Oppo Swype: I had moved to swiftkey on the S3 but seeing as it's pre-installed I gave it another shot. I just found it that if you go to themes you can get a smaller keyboard and move it to your preferred side.nice.
4. Couldn't find the setting to get apps in alphabetical order. TIP: It's located in Settings - Main Screen, then select the icon to the right of where it says Oppo Launcher. Maybe it's just me but this seems like a weird place to have it...?
Separate items for ColorOs 2.0: Recognising that this is still a Beta so my own fault if I'm using it
1. Auto-brightness is a bit touchy, seems to get confused quite a bit.
2. Double-tap to wake hangs from time to time, and has resulted in 2 forced restarts today. Which is annoying
3. Gestures in general are a but more sluggish on 2.0
4. There seems to be a one-handed mode in 2.0 but I've only ever been able to get it to work accidentally and could never repeat the trick.
5. There also should be a multi-window option but I have no clue where it is, so put this one down as it's not too easy to find some of the settings.
Anyone else find anything annoying and get it fixed?

I can't seem to get Google Keyboard to stick as default between reboots on latest stable version...

I'm using Swype at the moment so am not sure about the G keyboard. But I have always had the same problem across multiple ROMS. I just came from OmniRom on the S3 and it would often just randomly revert to google keyboard from swiftkey which was my default choice (so basically the reverse of your problem) Not sure it this is a common issue for Android?

ColorOs 2.0
Just wanted to call out that the Oppo recovery and Back up functions work very well. Flashed to ColorO2 2.0 beta and everything worked without a problem. A good sign!

I've experienced the Bluetooth switching pains as well. With my car and headphones both stored it works fine for my car but gives me fits connecting to the headphones where I have to delete my car to make it work reliably.

I've problem too with bluetooth. I can connect to my car (toyota radio BT) but no sound on the car speakers.
The music player starts automatiquely when the phone connect the car radio but no sound.
It's a problem for me because previously I use very often the music player with my Galaxy S3 in my car.
Do you have an idea to corect this issue ?

Have you checked in the settings that Phone and Media audio is set to 'on'? I know that my one had to be changed manually the first time. Also are you on ColorOS 2.0 or the current stable version (can't remember the number), maybe an update will resolve the issue for you?
You can find the beta 2.0 here:

Thanks xenOphon for your answer
I use colorOS v.1.2.0i (french version)
Media audio is on in BT settings (but I can't find "Phone" in settings) .
Do you think that ColorOS beta2.0 is stable enough (thanks for the link) ?

No problem
My own BT has the options Phone and Media, maybe this is just my one, not sure to be honest?
As for ColorOS 2.0 it is stable and runs smoothly for the most part but there are one or two issue that I just added to the original post. Having said that the bluetooth connections are now working better than before. Not sure if that is related to 2.0 though!

Ok, thank you for your help
I think I'll try version 2.0

One thing that annoys me is when I'm scrolling up to read past text messages and it hits the point where it has to "load" the next bunch it goes all the way back to the last one sent in that conversation. I then have to scroll all the way back up again. Not a super huge problem but annoying when it happens. Does this with a couple other things I think but I can't recall what. I know scrolling through my music library would kill the SD card that came with the phone, that's annoying but SD issues have been discussed already.

the sms app in general is not the greatest. this has been the only real negative worth mentioning. the app is laggy. bad enough that Hangouts is the sms of choice at the moment. i wonder if that issue will be worked out in the coming updates.

I've had this issue with multiple phones and ROM's. The only way I found to fix it was to either freeze the one that is the issue or delete it completely.
Sent from my X9006 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The only annoyance I have found so far is that even on the lowest volume setting the notifications are still really loud!

Okay so I got a response from Oppostyle
Original MSG. Yes it's vague but I'm so used to tech support from anyone going down a checklist that I gave up going into any detail on the initial encounter because I always get asked what I've already answered.
The 32 gig SD card continues to randomly disappear/unmount from the phone. I have the exact model but in it is a 16gb instead and it works fine without any problems. What are my option on getting the supplied 32 GB replaced/exchanged?
Response
Hello,
Thank you for contacting OppoStyle.com customer support.
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your microSD card.
Could you please try format the SD card on your PC or laptop by using an SD card reader?
You could also follow this simple troubleshoot procedure and advise the result:
1. Insert the SD card into the card slot.
2. Turn on the phone.
3. Go to settings - > storage. The phone should recognize the volume of the card.
4. Select "erase USB storage"; if this is not possible, please take a screenshot (Press "Power Button" + "Volume down" at the same time).
5. If step 4 is successful, please try to copy larger files to the card and see if it's readable. If it doesn't, please take a screenshot once again.
5. Go into Camera app. Navigate to settings -> Storage and change the storage to SD card, then try to create a Full HD video (around 3 minutes long), then try to play it on your phone to see if it's working properly.
Please let us know if this steps works for you or if this doesn't, please attach all the mentioned screenshots for us to have a look.
Looking forward for your response, have a great day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best Regards,
OppoStyle Customer Delight Team
and my response that I'm about to send them
Support,
I've formatted the card multiple times in both fat32 and NTFS in different allocation sizes as well. I've already already formatted it via the phone as well. I can do all of the things mentioned in your trouble shooting no problem. The problem arises when I try to do multiple things concerning the SD card. For example I can not listen to music stored on the card and take a picture that is saved onto the card, when I do the card "disappears"/unmounts from the phone. I can play music, but if I scroll through my music library while listening to music the card disappears. If I'm taking a picture or listening to music and Titanium backup begins to run backing up my apps, the card disappears. Anytime the card is accessed twice it fails. I know it's the card because my 16 gig I can do all of these things without problem with it. I've tried my 16gig card formatted to fa32 and NTFS and it works on either file structure just fine. It also takes multiple restarts at times for the card to show back up in the phone.

It's okay, changing the settings in MaxxAudio makes the difference

It works !!!! Finally, I installed another music player (PlayerPro) and now I have sound on the car's speakers !! So I think there is a problem with the native music player.

Well oppostyle is sending me another SD card. Hopefully it's still the Sandisk Ultra 32gb and not the slow one they have listed on their site. Either way it'll be nice to have the extra space that actually works correctly. I'm surprised by the fairly quick response and turn around time.
Side note
Looks like AT&T didn't like me telling them their low level tech support sucks in the short survey they sent me after doing a support chat via their website. Got a call yesterday from a private number, which I never pick up, so they left a voice mail saying they wanted to do a follow up. Probably nothing will come of it unless they want to magically add the Find 7a to their database or activate my sim for another phone on their network that does LTE. I guess I'll find out when they call back later today. This doesn't work I'll see if I can convince one of the store people to let me activate my sim card on a display model.

LG K10 settings issue running android 6.0.1

My LG K10 every once in a while will start making intermittent sounds similar to the old "Pong" game. There are no text messages or window or alerts that pop up when this happens, it seems to happen randomly and sometimes the sounds come through in rapid fire succession if I am driving around town. It tends to wear down my battery faster whenever this occurs. I check to see if any functions are active by hitting the square at the lower right corner of the screen and nothing shows as running.
Also when this happens a volume setting bar shows up as a pop up at the top of the screen, if I try to mute it, it does not allow me to. If I move the slider bar all the way to the left to kill the volume, the next pong sound moves the bar over to full volume. When this occurs I have zero control of the audio output volume of my phone.
This is extremely annoying and I am about to smash this phone into a thousand pieces. Questions, is this the result of a virus? Or is this the result of someone else taking control of my phone? Is this some kind of "feature" of which I am supposed to be thankful? Is there any way on this planet to put an end to this hyper annoying BS?
This is my first Android phone, I was an iPhone user previously. I am seriously considering getting rid of this and going back to iPhone. Please help.

I have not added any apps since I bought the phone.

To me it sounds like half functional malware. Did you bought new phone from shop, or used one from someone else? However the best way of solving would be to flash stock firmware, you have tutorial for that on this forum.

I bought the phone from the T-Mobile store as a brand new phone and have not installed any apps. I assume that flashing the FW means I'll have to backup all my contacts, correct?
And thank you all for your answers I appreciate it.

Well you can backup them just in case. But they should be synced with Google so they will appear on phone once you login with Gmail account.

Assuming I have a gmail account which I don't. So backup it is. Can I do it by attaching it to one of my computers via USB, backup that is. Thanks.

Yes you can, but first you will have to make backup file on phone, or you can backup contact with some LG PC software. Also you can backup to Dropbox/mega/drive via share option from contacts. Let me know did you solved problem via flashing stock firmware.
