Re: Android call volume still an issue ?
Hi Ian, On Mon, 25 May 2009 12:46:31 am Ian Stephen wrote: I am using Koolu's beta 6 release and call volume is no more quiet than it was using OM2008. Perhaps better in fact as with OM2008 I always had to turn up the slider as soon as a call was connected while with Android the call volume is OK. I'm not even sure there is a way to adjust it. Will have to look for that. OK, that sounds promising on that point.. Battery life seems short. With OM2008 it had become good enough that I didn't think about charging the phone all the time. Using Android I have to remember to plug the phone in during the day again. With QtEI I am currently recharging every other day (except when it occasionally fails to autosuspend, which a reboot fixes) so remembering to charge during the day would be a pain (and not always possible). :-( Talking to a friend of mine at work who has an Android dev phone from the US he reckons he's got better battery life out of it since running cupcake, but I don't know if the same will apply with it on a FR. Speaker phone seems to turn off all volume, though I haven't tried it with a headset. I never use it that way, so not an issue for me. :-) There seems to be more buzz than with OM2008 or perhaps it is just more apparent because of battery life being shorter. With any distribution, my Freerunner seems to buzz more when battery is low. Perhaps it's because I'm in Australia but I've never experienced the buzz problem (yet), so maybe I'm just lucky.. I haven't tried wifi or gps and observations are not quantified in any way as I am just using the phone rather than really thinking about testing. Much appreciated though!

Re: Android call volume still an issue ?
Quoting Chris Samuel ch...@csamuel.org: I'm pondering trying out Android on my FR but was worried by some of the comments on the Wiki about very low volume during voice calls - is that still an issue with the latest builds ?

Android call volume still an issue ?
Hi folks, Sorry for being so quiet recently, I've been absolutely buried at work and that's overspilled into my home life. :( I'm pondering trying out Android on my FR but was worried by some of the comments on the Wiki about very low volume during voice calls - is that still an issue with the latest builds ? cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
