here is the .xml and conf file from the Nexus S. Been messing with it a bit.

This is not a fix. And putting it on your phone as is will make the GPS stop working.

I have 2 files that keep showing up in my root directory:
interface_type.txt
protocol_type.txt
I delete them, bu they come back. Strange thing is they seem to grow over time. They both seem to be some kind of log file, but I have no clue as to what program is creating them. Eventually they both get to around 4 or 5 MB and it locks up the device when memory runs out. I do a soft-reset, go to file explorer and delete them and all is well for several days.
I could start deleting programs until it goes away, but I was hoping someone might know right away from the filenames.
I just got the X1 today and I've already experienced a major problem. When I call a number and it gets through, everything is normal
But if I call a number that is engaged, the engaged tone is played out via the loudspeaker and NOT the earpiece. Is there a way to change this?? Its blasting the "doo doo doo" near my ear when I happen to call someone who's engaged!!
Thanks a lot!! I can't use this phone properly until I get some help on this!
I've also had this problem, it's annoying as hell.
Has anyone been experiencing this problem as well?
this is normal on this phone, mine does the same. I've gotten annoyed of the calldrop sound and stopped it from playing via the registry.
oh... can you give me the exact file names and locations for these wav files??
So the engaged tone one and the call-drop one?
Thanks a lot!
here is the call drop registry change:
Code:
HKCR\ControlPanel\Sounds\CallDrop
Script: erase "p"
I'm not sure what you mean by "engage tone". the calldrop.wav is located in \windows\
i found the locations thanks.
Can I just delete the entry instead of just deleting the "p" from the file name??
I'm actually thinking of extracting the Busy.wav and then making it softer manually using the Audacity program. BUTTTT - I tried to extract it to a folder, but after dragging it to the new folder, there's nothing in the folder. Like it never copied across. The weird thing is that when I copy busy.wav again, it asks me whether I want to replace the original (yet invisible) busy.wav file.
Any ideas on why this happens to busy and calldrop.wav files ONLY??? The others copy across as normal. Could it be the cause of the problems to begin with??
Thanks
i'm not sure if you could just delete the "p". The "p" tells the phone to play the calldrop.wav. by deleting the p you're telling the phone not to play calldrop.wav
i haven't tried to copy the busy.wav i'm not sure why it would be invisable. what are you using to copy the files?
i found that mine will play the busy signal on the loud speaker if i dont hang up the phone in a certain amount of time. when i call and get a busy signal, it will play thru the ear piece but if i forget to hang up, it will play thru the loud speaker. i think it does that on purpose to let you know that you did not properly end the call.
just my guess tho
its a mess... There's something special about this busy.wav file. Could be a deeper problem than first imagined. Well I just used a completely different file to do another "busy" tone.
I've uploaded it here if someone wants it. Just put straight across and change the relevant registry entry in the location that was mentioned above. Makes a perfectly decent engaged tone that isnt too loud but is just audible to you.

Deleting the entry only may still play some system sound (not sure though)

The busy.wav is marked as a "System file" and hence is not visible when you copy it to your PC. On your PC, open the folder where you put the file and goto Tools>>Folder Options in the pop-up window, goto the View tab and click on Show hidden files and folders as well as uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Recommended). This should show up the busy.wav file.
having this problem too - think that reg fix only works for calls but if u get any other kind of alert it will come through the speaker
MUST HAVE ROOT!
THINGS NEEDED-
A Download of Axura ROM
WinRAR on computer to extract
A FILE EXPLORER THAT LETS YOU DELETE AND PASTE/MOVE FILES AROUND.
Suggested: Root Explorer(PAID), ASTRO might work, not sure.
IF YOUR GPS WORKS, DON'T USE THIS, IT WON'T HELP WITH ACCURACY AT ALL. THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHOSE GPS JUST DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
NOTE: This doesn't give 100% accuracy, but its off about 10-20 feet.
INSTRUCTIONS
After you have Axura Downloaded EXTRACT the file using WinRAR and then go into DATA/GPS/secgps.conf
Copy that file over to your SD Card, now use ROOT EXPLORER, or any other folder manager app you have, and go to data/GPS/ on your phone, you'll notice a secgps.conf
Rename that to 1secgps.conf (DO NOT DELETE YOU MAY NEED IT)
Now go to SD CARD and MOVE/COPY the other secgps.conf to the /data/gps
now MOVE the original the one with the 1 to your SD CARD and keep it safe.
Now if you have a Task Killer,(ATK) kill ALL applications, if you do not, just REBOOT.
After that, go to LBSTEST (*#*#1472365#*#*)
Run the Position Test,
IF your indoors, keep it at that screen until the Latitude and Longitude start giving info.
IF your outdoors, it'll probably take a minute or two.
Make sure to get atleast 4-5 Satellites, so your accuracy increases.
After that, your GPS should start working if it didn't before.
*Thanks to MASTER for his awesome ROM and the useful files in there.
*Support MASTER by going here and donating.
IF YOUR GPS DOESN'T WORK, PUT THE 1secgps.conf back to data/gps/ and rename it without the 1 and replace the other one.
If this doesn't work its most likely a hardware issue and here is a solution, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970
I've been using Axura since a few iterations back, to 2.2 now since release
It never helped the GPS like the hardware fix. Its a hardware issue plain and simple.

Already posted by Master here.
So I was trying to move some files around on my a500 today, backing up stuff, getting things organized, when I came across a pretty frustrating problem.
My Iconia will stop responding when trying to copy / backup / move certain files. Sometimes it does it with a book, sometimes with a picture, either way, once it decides it cannot move that file, the file is stuck. It's been doing this since I got it and it kinda feels like an issue one would have if they had a bad memory card. This is definitely the internal Acer memory though.
My question is this, is this a known issue, do I need to send my tablet back to Acer, or is there a fix for it somewhere?
I think it's a limitation of how the transfer protocol works. Some large files won't copy too/from the device properly. I really can't find a real pattern to give a definitive answer.
Hmm... Well, the file that I'm trying to move right now, is 1.4mb. Not very big at all, and it stops responding.
Well, it maay have just been my laptop, its old and picky and a complete piece of junk. Using a file manager my tablet has 0 problems moving things around on its own.

This is a known problem. I haven't yet come across it in the ICS leak, so maybe it's fixed there... otherwise just 'cp src dest' in the shell (needs busybox), which works reliably.
I run into this problem occasionally when trying to move a file. My solution is to copy and paste it and then delete the original. For some reason it copies just fine but when I try to move it, it fails.
I am having some major problems putting a file on my brothers Nexus 7 tablet from a windows 7 PC.
The files is a .json it is a safe file from a game that needs to go to the folder for that game so it can be used.
Whenever i try to drag and drop into the required folder it just hangs with the progress bar at 100% but the file does not copy.
It comes up with the error the device has stioped responding if i leave it long enough
Turns out that it is the location i can't save files to. Does anybody know how i can save a file in the Android folder. All it is is a save file from a game
Please help

Use a wifi transfer app. It works better sometimes. App icon is of the color blue

Hi,
I would recommend you to use AirDroid for wireless file transfer. The best app out there at the moment.
You can find it on Google play store for free.
