[Q] Possible to change voice codec on CDMA R800x? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I previously had a Droid 2 Global and teh voice codec was crap on there. Found out there was a way to change what codec your phone uses for voice and it greatly improved the quality of the call. Obvioulsy the same process does not work on Xperia PLAY, and I am aware there is the *#*#7378423#*#* process to enter the secret service menu... but I dont think there is a way to change the codec on our phone... but thought I would at least ask the community to see if anyone knows anything.
Here are the links to what I was referring to in regards to the D2G:

Help about the video call key.

I am using the Black Majek.
Since my service vendor did not got a 3g network, so I did not REALLY want to use the video call. But I DO want to use the video call key on the phone as a difined key and did not want the dialer pad to change, how can I do this? Searched the forum but can't find the answer.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] MW600 paired to Xperia Play

Hi,
I have a MW600 headset paired to my Play, everything works flawlessly, It is a pair made in heaven everything works... but I have 2 questions...
1. - Is there a way the MW600 display shows de contact name instead of the actual phone number when receiving a call? (I don't like to remember all the numbers on my small contact list...I'm too lazy)
2.- How can I tweak the voice dialing on the headset... It never get my commands rights... I know my english sucks, but not that bad...
Thanks
I have these headphones and am in the same boat as you, I haven't seen anyway to configure them.
For the lack of contact names (as well as song names) I read that it's a limitation with Android and not sending that over bluetooth.
Thanks,
meh, I mean headphones are OK and both headphones and mobile work great together anyway, let's hope an android update can help us with the track info / contact name display issue.
by the way how does your voice dialing works? mine really sucks... is that me (and my spanish accented english) or it just sucks?
Mine isn't too bad, The only problem I face is it disguinishing between two of the same named contacts, For example I have a John Smith and a John Anderson. Sometimes it selects the wrong person.
Like any voice control articulation and low background noise is key

For some reason, if you change the native language for voice (in the system settings) to US English (not UK english or other languages) and you are giving commands in english, you have a lot more accuracy of commands. Even if you are speaking with an accent. I don't know why that is, but it may have something to do with more work being done on the English voice control feedback and voice search profiles than others. (More US english speakers than other native languages on the voice search team, I think).
Where do you change the native language? in system settings under Language & keyboard right?...
i already have it on English USA... I think I just suck at it..
Is there anyway to have the phone in English language and the voice calling in Spanish???
I think that's why my phone do not understand my commands, I live in Mexico, and therefore all my contacts are Mexican Spanish pronunciated names and the system is looking for English sounding words right? It's that even possible???

question.
how long is the xperia play's battery life when connected to bluetooth headset?
thanks.
It is quite good actually, I can go over 24 hrs without playing or 12 hrs with heavy use (3g, gps, casual gaming messaging and emailing and calling if course.)
About the battery on the headset is quite good actually on normal use, it can be affected on heavy use

Yes.
The fm radio works independently of the phone. the mw600 has it built in.
For those trying to get track info in the MW600 *and* want to mess a little with their Play, you should try flashing the latest nightly build of CM7, for me, it works flawlessly, showing track info, and everything else, but didn't test about the caller info because I don't receive so many calls
I own a R800i so it should work with the other GSM models.
It is not an 'Android's limitation' but a 'developer limitation', they just don't want to give the needed support/development for their devices and accesories.
@DanyXP: yep, it's the only way, because the Plays don't have the FM chip builtin
I use the MW600's fm radio mostly because my data plan is limited.
I have one on my r800a works okay, voice dialing is crap, i've disabled it. Range is good enough, sound quality is good no complaints.
Same numbers only on the display which is useless for me because i don't know anyone number, and track names don't always mtach up, depends on the program i'm using to play music.
Guys can someone help me. I have baught a head of sony with the code: DRZX301 but when I put the cable in it says accessoire isn't supported. please can someone help me.
@hexen2006, how's your MW600 doing? I'm planning to get one next week but I have read numerous negative reviews about its ISSUE WITH SUDDENLY DYING BATTERIES after a range of 2 days to 4 months of use in most user experience. Did this happen to you?

[Q] restoring the dial pad

Ok what i am trying to do is reactivate the dial pad so i can call out on Google voice if it is possible. I see the mobile network and data in the es explorer. But they are both blocked. i love voice on my home PC. I know my friend with an android phone can use it the same as a regular phone call just like selecting a browser or media player. i was trying to make an app that dose it. I do have root. I am not asking anybody to do it for me but some pointers would be a great help.
PS if you did do it i would love to know how as i am learning how to add permitions and other hooks. this one is eluding me!
look into groveip. There is a thread about it in the apps area.
thank you but not what i was asking
As i said i was wondering where i can do it. I have seen the groove post before. It seams like a nice app but it dose not meet one requirement. I wanted to make it so i could change it.
Even if you do get a standard Android dialer to work(not even sure if it's really in Honeycomb), you'd still need the physical hardware to be present and working(definitely not in the WiFi version and unlikely in the 3G version without lots of work), hence the need for something like GrooveIP.
again

again i want to do something similar to grove but i want control over the source so i can set it up. I want to be able to record incoming and out going calls on it. My Iphone wont let me do this and voice only dose it on incoming i want to be able to record all calls and since i broke my back at work i am long on time and short on money so thanks again for recommend of grove but it dose not do what i want it to
and i have reason for this.
i am asking if anybody knows where or how not an app.
to find the apk or how to add the service and fake it into thinking it has gsm or to reset the Dial as i believe that will be a good start

Sounds like you're just kind of making up your own thing, better get to writing your own code.

[Q] Anyway to change the Speech Codec?

So I was thinking, on my phone prior to the PLAY I have a Motorola Droid 2 (CDMA) (Motorola Milestone 2 for GSM). Piece of crap Moto phone that I will never buy again. However one thing I was able to do was type in a code via the phone dialer, much like the hidden codes:
*#*#4636#*#*
&
#*#*7378423#*#*
However when I entered a certain code it gave me an option to select a different speech encoder for better sound quality. I have not been able to find anything for the PLAY and it very well may not be available. But I thought I would inquire to the masses if anyone knows anything. When I changed the encoder to a better quality the voices through the earpiece were significantly clearer.
Audio Codec I changed my old phone to for improved clarity was:
EVRC-B
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions
Edit: I am guessing this codec is for CDMA networks. But still wondering.

Question Issue with call recording

Hi guys, first of all, im currently running one ui 5 android 13
I have tried a lot of apps to record phone calls and every time the recorded audio sound is blank
I have seen that this is due to google politics or something, do u know how can i record it.
I want to be able to record it because several people have told me they stop listening to me properly during phone calls, but i listen to them good. Its not problem of my SIM because in other phones i dont have that problem and samsung technical support already "fixed my phone", i even sent them my phone so they would fix it.
Im pretty dissapointed with this phone.
Any suggestions of how can i record a phone call or even better, if u know any solution of my problem with the calls? Thanks!
The easiest solution is to use native samsung call recording. You can use this method, worked for me as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ith-galaxy-a52s-solved.4423477/#post-86660135
I chose XID as well. When downloading new ROM to extract HOME_CSC from, be sure to download the same version, e.g. A528BXXS1DVL2 for A13 with December 2022 security patch, you can find the version in "software update" in settings as the first string after "current version".
