I can vouch that this fix does work, posted on post 710 of the [PRJ][GSM&CDMA][CAB&RAR] XDAndroid AOSP Port & Startup Utility [8/26] SOUND IS FIXED! thread
to install:
1. delete current modules.tar file in your andboot folder
2. place both files contained in the .rar above in the andboot folder.
3. boot android and enjoy.
I find that this fix makes the android music player a bit more responsive some how as well, before it would lagg a lot but with this fix its almost flowing like it would on a regular android device.

thank you so much for posting the fix here

theres a problem with this fix, replacing the .tar file only does not fix the problem nor does it mess anything up
replacing the zimage as well does fix the problem HOWEVER, it also stops wifi from working =(

Not true, I have this fix installed on my latest BLAZN build and wifi is working for me, so is my 3g data and calls. Load times are the same, and all i've noticed is that virtual keyboards are a bit slow. Market place is still working. Also Facebook account seems to not be able to sync on the phone under accounts and you cannot create a new account for facebook, but the facebook app does work.

thats strange, cause i did a fresh install of android through the cab and then used this fix to fix the static, but my wifi doesn't turn on then, it says error when trying to turn it on.
I should mention i have a tilt 2, might have different results depending on carrier version?

Does this also fix the headphones? Because currentky there is no sound when you plug in headphones

hmm, i have a tilt 2 as well, Running Energy Rom, Wifi works for me, so does data, GPS and MMS.
do a fresh install of android again from the cab, this time verify that wifi does or doesnt work before you do the fix if wifi is working try the fix and see if that breaks it.
It may just be that the install went bad somewhere along the line and thats why you dont have wifi, but truly I have no idea.

great fix i havent tried using the facebook app but it beats the hell outta the static im sure in the next build ref put together everthing will work im waiting on the keyboard fix (tp2)

[Q] Video chat options?

So what options do we have with the SGS2 for video chat/calling?
I see in the dialer/contacts there is an option to call somebody with video, how
does that work? Has anybody been able to try it?
D

I can confirm that the video calling from the dialer works great between two SGSIIs, even over a week 3G signal.
If you have root access, you can also install the new Google Talk app that has video. Works great as well between phone and PC over wifi at least.
I haven't tested other than this, but it gets me in touch with my fiancee on the phone and family/friends on Google Talk. I have a feeling we'll be waiting a while for Skype video support now that they've been bought by Microsoft.
edit: There are of course other third party options but I want to use the ones with the greatest adoption and compatibility between devices, which is Skype and Google in my opinion.

I wonder how long 'we' will have to wait for Android 2.3.4 with the Gtalk/video/voice built in? Or maybe Google will release the Gtalk app with this feature on the market soon.
Guess I could always root

Can someone confirm that Gtalk video chat on AT&T only works over WiFi? I can see & chat with people over 3G and it will even say video available and show the video icon but it then tells me that I need WiFi. Is there a way around this? Perhaps an edit to the prop file or even the Gtalk file thru root exployer to enable the video over 3g..?

Would fring work?

Which one did you install? I did the auto APK that allows permissions from superuser and it works great but only over WIFI. How did you get it to install with the 3g? And does it work well? I heard it's very buggy with 3g..?

Are you sure? I think Paul's auto install is the version that only works over wifi. I've installed that version off a fresh hard reset twice and no 3g. I believe someone from that thread actually said that apk was for the wfi only version.
UPDATE: Figured it out. I had to find the updated Talk2.apk and I used root exployer to copy over the old APK. Since it was already installed, that's all I had to do. Re-booted and Google Chat now works over 3g. Wow, it logged in 1st attempt after re-boot with no issues and started working right away. Good stuff... One quick question thou. When someone tries to video chat with me, I only get the notification saying someone tried to video chat but you were not on WIFI. I can then go right ahead video chat them back over 3g and everything is fine. So, I only ring for a video chat if I'm in WIFI but can send no problem over 3g..? Is that where we are at with it or is there something I'm missing..?

Tango is another great video calling app on the market its free and it works real good 3G and wifi it also detects who in youre contact list has it

tried video calls to several friends' android mobiles today in the office - all failed. not sure if it's a network or device limitation, none of the friends had samsung phone tho.
are video calls using the "stock" functions generally only supported between devices of the same make/model?

Do they have UK or EURO standard video chat over 3G enabled? I know I did hear that you can video chat within the dialer with SGS2 to SGS2. If anyone wants to dare try this from one SGS2 to another, or any other GSM phone that has the video chat icon in the dialer. let me know.

[Q] Skype Video

Funny how the blogs posted a article today saying the skype app was updated to include video calling on many phones including the incredible S. however, I didn't see the 2. I thought thye were nearly the same phones? does it make sense why they would release it on the S and not the dinc2?

From the app description in the market:
Some notes:
If you're using Android 2.2 (Froyo) or greater on a device not listed in the What's New section, you should still be able to enable video calling in Skype settings. Please note that video call quality may not be as good as on a certified device.
On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera.
If the setting to enable video calling is not available in the Skype Settings on your device that means video calling is not yet supported on your phone.

i have 2.3.3 on my phone, GB OTA update. no root. my phone has skype 2.1.0.46 on it right now, and i'm not seeing anywhere for video. When you got it working, is it just mobile to mobile video, or can you do a mobile to desktop video?

I tested with mobile-to-desktop.
Make sure you're using the Skype from the market and not the pre-loaded one named Skype for Verizon. Go into the settings and the last section is labeled "Video calls." There should be an option that says "Enable video calling." I had to manually enable it.

well IMAGINE that... i just had to go to settings to enable the video call. it gave me some warnign message, but let me enable it. i did just try my dinc2 to my macbook, didn't work, but im going to try with another mobile. when chatting with the macbook, on the dinc2 it lets me click the video button, but it goes to a black screen for a second, then comes back to the menu, so its probably crashing the program on the phone... probably cause its chatting with a mac

My girlfriend has a Macbook Pro and the first time we tried it, it wouldn't let her enable video on her side but she could see me. The next time we tried it worked perfectly and has been ever since.

Sprint - Wifi Tethering Working!

Guys, I don't know what happened but it's working on my Sprint G2. Someone help me figure out what I did. All I did just a min ago was enable it, got the error, then enabled it again. Bam, i'm connected. HOW? I played with some build.prop settings and something over in SQLite editor in com.providers.settings I think it was. The other thing, i'm stuck in 1X coverage. Maybe the entitlement check thing is trying and gives up before it gets a response, then just goes through?

I got mine to work too after editing that file with Sqlite, but it only worked once and with the built-in tethering. I couldn't get it to work correctly again after turning it off and on.

Hmmm, mine gives the error once or twice, then just starts working. I'm posting tethered right now. I managed to get it onto ehrpd and speed are pretty solid. I need to get my directional antenna hooked up to my Cell Booster so I can pick up the ecsrb tower instead of the halfass tower i'm on now!
EDIT: Of course I make this post and it stops working, lol. No idea why outta nowhere it works. It almost tells me it's using some kind of http authentication and if it can't connect it goes ahead and lets you use it.
EDIT2: After a reboot it works again. WTF is with this thing!

Ive been following threads on getting tethering for sprint working and I dont understand why we just dont keep it to one thread. Also, Im not sure anyone can figure out whats going on with how you got it working if you dont post the changes and edits you made to the files in detail. It might help more if others knew exactly what you did.

Can you post the lines you changed and the detail steps on what you do? What files did you modify in the android filesystem? I am sure this can be done easily but we need more description. The more information you can tell us how to replicate your situation, the better it is that we all can try this solution out and hammer out the kinks so that we get a working wifi tether for Sprint version.

Could be you are onto something, but until you provide that info it doesnt help you or anyone else figure it out.

Have you tried connecting wifi tether while data off or in airplane mode?
Maybe it's checking with Sprint before tethering. I dunno anything about this stuff. Just speculating.
Thanks for your work on this man.

Basically Sprint wifi tethering still doesn't work. There is no proof that it is working because we don't even know the method the OP used.

The OP doesn't even know what method he used, what a Jackass. Sorry guys, major software upgrade at work, been swampzilla'd. I know there's something else in sqlite editor, but it's not working. The best luck I had was when the phone was in 1x, then would switch to eHrpd after tethering was enabled. Build.prop and screenshot of what I added to settings.db\global in sqlite.

Ok, so we just dump a couple files and say have at it?
Dude.... step -by-step.... what EXACTLY did you edit and what changes did you make??
How many times do we need to ask the same question?
If you seriously dont know then say so and have a mod delete this thread cause right now its nonsense.

Seriously. If the OP cannot easily explain the changes he made to which file step by step then the mods should delete this thread to avoid confusion.

Yep you guys are right. Close the thread. Works if I launch hotspot from 1x coverage, then it stays on. Sorry I can't be of more help, but the last line in sqlite editor and the obvious "tether" lines that are easily searchable in build.prop.txt

CallRecorder by skvalex operating flawlessly!

I just picked up my SM-G935T and have found the settings which enables CallRecorder to operate flawlessly from the line, and not the mic.
I've posted about this over in the CallRecorder thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66232332&postcount=5105.
I'll repost the settings I'm using, below. Let me know if they work for you.
Device -
Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge (T-Mobile - SM-G935T)
Recording Method - Standard API
Standard API settings:
Audio source - Voice call uplink + downlink
Recording format - WAV

I hadn't even thought to try.. Thanks!!

I've been using CR for years and was disappointed to read that there was no success recording from the line with the Samsung 7 Edge. Was one of the reasons for rethinking whether to purchase the device. I figured if it ain't working now, perhaps I'll find settings that work and/or Skvalex will hopefully find a solution as his customer support is excellent.
I purchased the S7 Edge and installed CR and initially the results were the same as I have read for everyone else; recording through the mic. I started trying different settings and I was like, Wow!, this is great when these settings worked. I tried it several times to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I've been in contact with Skvalex for the past couple of weeks regarding CR compatibility with the S7 Edge. I immediately notified him of my findings. He is one of the best supportive developers out there. I've been trouble shooting with him over the years regarding logcats, etc., and it's always a pleasure to communicate with him. Glad to see he incorporated the changes so quickly. This will make many people happy :good:

I did notice that random intermittent calls are not recorded or even showing up in the call recording logs. I think it could be because I do not have root. (nobody has root with the 935T yet tmk) I haven't isolated what is in common with the calls that are being skipped though.. I have triple checked all the settings. making sure that it is set for all calls I/B and O/B and no filtering, etc... Perhaps when a caller calls inbound and the screen was locked it may not have permissions to run? I have made it device admin. any one else experience this? but other than this, yes, flawless. excellent work!

May or may not be related, but I was experiencing similar symptoms, although the calls would show in the CallRecorder recording list. I couldn't figure it out for a short while. The CR active recording icon would show and the call would show in the CallRecorder list, but with 0:00 recorded.
The cause of this issue was that I would have Smart Voice Recorder active which conflicted with CR recording the conversation. I use SVR often and have to be aware if it's active.
CallRecorder has been working flawlessly on my SM-G935T

using default settings or did you change some? it works for me but the volume is too low when i play recordings back

I'm not getting anything recorded. Still trying to play with settings.
----
Tried using posted settings, not working for me. Could you double check settings? I tried playing around with the settings and most I could get was voice through my phone. Couldn't make outgoing calls but could get calls. Will try to play with settings more tomorrow, apparently it's frowned upon to be calling my family at 10pm, but would like to know where to start.

Alright I got it working great now.
Had to do some manual configuration but everything is recording properly and clearly now.
Took some screenshots of my settings. Hope this helps others.

I'm using bold beast. Works perfect!

On the Voice call uplink & downlink setting, I had the other party say I was cutting out on them. In other words, my voice was clipping. After troubleshooting, I attributed this to Voice uplink, which is the channel my voice goes over.
I changed my settings to -
Standard API
Main
Audio source
Voice communications*
* this is the setting I changed.
I had a slight issue which Skvalex found a solution for, and mentioned that he would be changing this to be the default for the Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge.

Yes I recently bought the app and so far so good with the settings here.
