I'm having problems with the audio on my HTC Wizard / Cingular 8125. Lately if I plug the wired headset into the port, the audio will still be routed through the speakers built into the device AND the headset. Is this a known issue, or am I the only person that this is happening to?
I love this device to death - my only other complaint is battery life. It seems to die very quickly while listening to music (which is understandable) but ... to go from a full battery to completely flat in a 1 hour commute on a train? That's a little .... excessive.
I love the Faria ROM - too bad that it was taken down. Anyone know if/when HTC will be releasing an Official Rom for WM6?
1) are you using a custom rom? i remember reading other posts about strange speaker behaviour in one or two of them, also have you installed any apps/progs recently?
2) again, custom rom? and obvious things like screen off and key lock? (try deltalock) other running progs off? (use CloseAll before running media player) to save power
3)only htc know. my guess is only for new devices, it probably costs too much for them to create and test, and why release a cheap/free rom update for old phones when they can just release a new device and say 'new hardware & new os, buy this'
Hello. I used cyanogen mod in the past on my desire hd, then switched to rcmixhd, then back to cyanogen (newer release). I noticed first of all that the battery lasts really shorter time. I don't know why, but in the night it goes from 60 to 15% without using anything (no 3g, no wifi, no applications, no alarm), i just leave the telephone on. It hasn't happened to me before.
I flashed a new radio, I will see what happens, but can the radio make a difference in the battery related problem?
Apart from this, i am happy with cyanogen.
One rom related question: is it possible to change the incoming call layout? I am very used to the possibility of 'SILENTING' the call. Let's say someone calls, I want to have the possibility to make the phone NOT ring while still NOT refusing the call. On this rom I only have 2 buttons: accept and decline. No 'silent ringtone' available while the phone rings, which is different to refusing the call. I just want to keep the incoming call without the ringtone, after the call starts...i think you understand what i mean, it is a common function in every rom I had.
And also: I tried the game 'backstab HD'. It runs really with poor framerate. Is it normal? It has good graphics ok, but I don't think it's normal for a game built for phones to go that slow. Modern combat goes very smooth...even reckless racing HD now goes smoother than before. Backstab is almost unplayable. I think I could do something with chainfire 3d ?

Volume down should silence the ring/vibrate.
tonight battery went from 70% to 2% (from 3.30 a.m. to 10 a.m.). I find it impossible to use the phone like this.
How can I fix this battery problem? Last time I used cyanogen the battery could last up to 3 days with normal use. With the time the ROM should get better, not worse....I am searching for a solution, many people have this problem and no one knows how to fix it.

Hi !
Check out the radio threads, and see the setups from the other guys.
I had heavy battery drain with different radios. The last radio from cyanogen
( running alienmind v1.99 ) works great now.
Just need to test everything and need to find the best setup for you
Now, one of better think is to make a full charge of your battery, device turned off.
when you reboot your device(at 100%), go in CWM=>advanced=>clean/wipe battery stat.
Do it two or three time and see...
if no result you can instal Battery History for GB
Look if something drain anormaly your battery.
If no result, change ROM
If no result, change your dead battery.
And read this guide
i did the reset of the battery stats today, things may be better. I will also flash another radio to try everything. If not, I really don't know, i may have to change rom although i was happy with cyanogen the first time.
Just backup your old rom and flash (wipe) the newest from cyanogen... and see yourself.
If the battery drain is still there ( i hope not )
I had only problems with cyanogen when i customized it ( other radios, kernels and widgets )
so which radio is the best for the latest cm7? I have the Telus version if that makes a difference. thx
Yeah I was getting pretty severe battery drains too, but then I updated my radio and RIL and now it's significantly better. Here is a guide to update your radio:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295&highlight=radio
After that I updated my RIL using CWM. Just go to Download ROM -> gtg465x -> RIL Flasher.
I'm currently using Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with AlienMinds CM 7.1 v 1.9.9 with great success. Great battery life and smooth operation.

Zillion of them!
I think I tried every single wildfire rom. Now it's time for a review.
2 types of roms right? AOSP and Sense based.
AOSP first: (2.3)
They all have small bugs. Like bluetooth transfer, wifi dropping after 30 minutes, battery drain, sync stuck etc etc... Biggest common problem with aosp roms is web performance. Browsers are so slooooww... I just don't surf at all. It takes at least 5 seconds to open google home page. You get the idea I suppose.
Yeah opera mini is fast but web pages look like they are from 1998 with opera.
Sense now; (2.2)
They all are the same. Stock and Joker roms are the most stable ones. Wildpuzzle, dk, rempuzzle etc.. They do have small bugs here and there.
Sense means a little bit slower phone with some perks. Speed wise they all are the same. If you overclock stock rom you'll get the best sense rom. You'll never have a pleasent angrybirds experience with a sense based rom. Maybe first 5 levels...
Which rom do "I" use;
I use ruymanca hellfire aosp gingerbread rom.
Why?
1- Because my phone acts like a phone with ruymanca's rom. When someone calls me my phone starts ringing straightaway. Other roms have 3-ish seconds delay which makes me miss shed loads of calls.
At times I catch the call before otherside gets bored, conversation goes like this.
- I'm sorry, are you available?
- Why are you sorry? Why wouldn't I be available?
- It took you so long to answer.
- (ops he thinks I was ****ting) No no it's fine. (damn phone!)
2- I mainly use my phone for checking gmail and chatting on gtalk with mates. ruymanca does this flawlessly.
I also use gps navigation a lot. Which is no problem with ruymanca's rom.
I said "They all have small bugs". What bugs does ruymanca have?
-no bluetooth .apk transfer.
-reboot the phone. facebook contacts sync is gone.
-Wifi sometimes drop when I leave the phone idle for a long time.
Which ROM?
If you surf the internet a lot. Definitely a sense rom. Joker or Stock I would suggest.
If you are a facebook/twitter person. Go for stock rom.
If you use your phone for business, ruymanca all the way.
If you don't care about browser performance but want a fast rom. it is anonimo's rom.
If you want best of both worlds it is CM7. I think 98 nightly was the most stable one. I might be wrong here. Just check the thread and read reviews.
Ive used sense roms and Cm7 with Opera Mobile and its no
slowdown on Cm7, never noticed that surfing was faster on sense roms at all.
Wired....
Same for the telephone lag when a call comes in. Im using the ram optimization script made by Juwe11, Cpumin 528Mhz, Compcache off and when i call my wildfire from my home-phone, its ringing and screen is on one second after i hear the first ringing of the calling phone.Thats faster than you can get your phone out of your pocket..........
This should help a lot of people! Thanks!
Sorry i didnt mention ring lag on cm7. Yes it is less with cm7. Like you said around 1 second when overclocked to 528 minimum.
Ruymanca is a different story. 245min and zero second lag. Hence longer battery life. Ruymanca is my choice. It isnt the best rom for sure.
The problem is there is no best rom. It is all about compromises.

Currently running timurs rom but it crashes a lot. Are there other roms that allow fast charge, sleep/wake with power, on screen volume etc.
Any help greatly appreciated

I've been running Timur's ROM as well and I really want an alternative as well as I've been facing issues with the ROM, and it looks like Timur has discontinued development on the 2012 model.
From what I've seen so far though CM11 should support USB DACs so I'm keen to try that out.
Some notes:
Fast charge - that's a kernel setting so any custom kernel should allow that.
Sleep/Wake on power - After many months of usage, sleep or even firm sleep has been a hit or miss for me. When it works, it works really well but sometimes a some random app might cause a wakelock, draining the battery. Even otherwise, there are many other issues such as USB audio doesn't resume. Plus the battery tends to drains quicker + looses health because of being in a hot car.
So instead, what I'm planning to do, is to just completely shutdown/boot up a tablet on power. Some notes:
- Bootup time is fairly quick - about 30 seconds, upto a minute, which is acceptable for me. You can reduce the startup time even further by using apps like BootManager to prevent unnecessary apps from starting up. Perhaps we can slim down the ROM further by deleting unnecessary apks etc.
- Fresh start is always a better option - you don't want your tablet to crash while driving right? I've had to reboot many times before or during driving, and it annoys me to say the least.
- USB audio always works fine when booted (well, with Timur's ROM anyways, need to test with CM11/others)
- No battery drain due to device standby or wakelocks
- No overheating and loss of battery health
- For shutdown on power loss, we can use Tasker. Maybe make a script to first turn the screen off, and after say 10 minutes of idle turn off the device completely (this will give us a chance to resume quickly in case we stopped the car for some reason).
- For startup on power, we can use the fastboot oem command to make the device automatically power up
On-Screen Volume: From daily usage, this hasn't been very practical in reality. I mean if you're driving, you really shouldn't be looking at the screen and trying to aim at the tiny buttons. Instead, a better option would be to use gestures to control the volume. There are heaps of apps for this, eg: All In One Gestures, Tasker, Gesture Navigation, GMD GestureControl, etc. You could use a single-swipe down and swipe-up to increase the volume up/down. Swipe left/right to change tracks. Two finger swipes to switch between apps. Just use your imagniation.
Might seem like a lot of work initially, but IMHO it'll be worth it, at least to get a stable ROM which is updated regularly (not to mention, you get to use the newest GApps!).
My only concern is to get the DAC working on startup. Might have to look into Timur's startup scripts to see how he does it - maybe even port the FHD scripts over to 2012 if necessary.
do you have a link to any fast charge kernels ? all i can find is Timurs ?
thanks

Kang-aroo kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558717
Supports fastcharge, OTG, hotplug DAC, firm sleep, multiboot and more.
thanks. this may sounds stupid ( im new to this rooting thing etc ) i am running paranoidandroid ROM. seems to run smoothly. i have flashed/installed that kernel and nothing is different. no extra settings etc? am i doing something wrong ?
thanks again

Use a kernel tweaking app, like TricksterMod.
ok downloaded that and it means nothing to me im afraid. how would i turn on fast charge for example or OTG host mode, firm sleep etc ?
only thing i can find where i assume you can set things is the " SysCtrl Editor" but it jsut comes up with a huge list of stuff that i have no idea about.
i assume i need to find fast charge in sysctrl and change it from 0 to 1... but cant find anything under the search. not a clue what id be looking for
starting to think Timurs rom was simple compared to this. haha
thanks for the help
Use PowerEventManager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50265682#post50265682
i saw that, but yet again. dont know how to use it ? where do i place it on the tablet. it doesnt show up in recovery mode
You have to install it. Copy it to your device and then use a file manager to open and install it. It will create an icon in your drawer. When you open it, you'll have options to configure firm-sleep etc.
Done. Worked at first but now I've reverted to timurs rom. The tablet froze loads. Wouldnt open some apps at all and power on/off with ignition wasn't reliable. Sometimes it woke, sometimes it didnt. Will give it another go when i habe more time i think.
On a related note, I haven't had much luck with getting my DAC to work with other ROMs - even with Kang-aroo kernel. I'll have to try CM11 with _crue_'s USB audio patches and Netfluke's kernel this weekend and see how it goes.
Edit: No luck. Maybe because it's I'm on tilapia. Even with cm11, Netfluke's latest kernel, and _crue_'s updated audio patches for cm11, couldn't get it to work. And it's a Fiio E17, which I've had no issues with on Timur's ROM.
And no, I'm not going back to Timur's CM10 - it's old. I can't use any of the newer GApps on it, and the ROM is buggy.
I think I'll swap my tilapia with my 2013 deb and use that as a car device instead. It looks like Timur just updated his kernel to v1.0 which fixes a lot of bugs - at least it's being actively developed. As for my tilapia, I'll switch to a more stable/mainstream ROM like Omni and forget about USB audio for now.

Oh, you'll have to donate for now, but it should be made public soon.
How much and where?
Thanks
I tried to make a decision reading this forum but everyone had a different idea. Below you can see what I need. I beg of you. Please do suggest the best software combo I could use to achieve the following multitasking (at least those 4): Listening to Spotify, Internet Browsing, Whatsapp messaging and VOIP/sip (a service that must run all the time), BUT! without having my hands burned from the cpu/battery's temperature, or at most just 2 hours of a battery lifetime while doing that.
1) I do not care if my phone graphics turn into pacman or Android version 0.1beta.
2) I do not care if I lose the entire Cam's functionality.
3) I do not care about unlocking with double knock
4) I do not care about IR control
5) I do not care about LED functionality
6) I do not care about speakers sound quality (I could even get used to 8 bit sound or low volume sound. I can hear very well xD)
7) I do not care if my phone self restarts randomly 2-3 times a day.
but
1) I do care if phone shutdowns, or totally stops responding, or services hang without auto-restarting.
2) I do care if 3g/4g/data stop functioning
3) I do care about flash functionality
4) I do care about 3.5 jack headphones sound
Thank youuu!
I would suggest using the stock euro 30f Rom combine with dorimanxs 11.1 kernel in battery mode.
I use my phone similarly with this combination and I can assure you, it is the best.
On cm13 stock kernel my phone is always cool and the SOT is 5.5h+

Have you tried Bliss ROM to compare to CM13?
Install the latest lollipop version stock rom for your variant, debloat, install dorimanx kernel, install amplify and greenify. And you are all set.
Or you can use any custom rom with dorimanx , amplify and greenify.
With these, you will get at most 5 hour SoT.
LMK if you need further assistance.
