[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xdarooster:
I'm currently running AmeriCanAndroid v042711 SD on my HD2 and the phone seems to have issue reconnecting to the network "DATA" after coming out from a bunker :p (i.e. going to a store where all the cellular network is disconnected/loss). The only way I can reconnect is to goto Settings, Wireless, Mobile Network Setting to turn on and off the Data Enable check box.

I did not have this problem running RAFDROID HD 4.2 but since I wanted to tryout gingerbread, I decided to give AmeriCanAndroid a try.

Can you tell me if this is happening to you or is there a tweak to fix this issue?

Thanks!!

Just installed this last night. All I can say is, slick. I had been using Custom Car Home, which also offers large icons, but Ultra adds street location read out, and speed and direction displays. It also will automatically turn your wifi off, and Bluetooth on when activated, and the reverse, when it turns off. Free 30 day trial, in the market, and $1.99 to purchase the license. Well worth it, imo.

CarHome Ultra by TheSpinningHead

+1 yep. I've been using this since the early beta release.

it's an easier car dock app for setting up shortcuts and dealing with our weird usb--> 3.5mm audio setup. I do still need to use the stock Samsung/TW Music Player to allow me to redirect the audio through the dock, then launch whatever I really want to listen to - this car dock app makes that easier (and has some nice bells & whistles :-).

I do wish there was some a simple app that would direct media audio out the [desk|car] dock upon launch. Maybe a voodoo sound option or something...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] psykdup:
good find....
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] spotmark:
The only problem I have with this app, is now my son, who is sitting in the back, constantly reminds me of my speed. :p
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ddavv:
Try Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector by xcaliburhand, available in the market. Works for me like a charm. There are no controls, it just automatically redirects sounds to USB when you insert the phone into the car dock.

I have not tried it with the phone calls, imagine it won't work, but I'm so used to "unplugging" the phone and taking the calls over speaker, so that's not an issue for me.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] spotmark:
I don't use a wired connection, in my car. I use the Motorola T505, which plays my music, and calls through the stereo over FM.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bmeek:
another good find!

Just installed and headed out to my car to verify function - sounds like just what the proverbial doctor ordered...

Edit: very slick - I plug into the car dock, Car Home Ultra launches and the Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector displays a brief (and silent) pop-up notification that the sound has been redirected to the USB port. Audio from Pandora and TuneIn Radio plays out via the Car Dock simple as that.

When I remove the phone from the dock, audio is reset to normal (with a similar brief pop-up notification). The notification is optional, and activation is selectable for Car and Desk docks.

Thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zantopad:
Thanks for pointing out Galaxy sound redirector! does exactly what I need without forcing me to use the crappy samsung dock app!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
I admit it. I'm an idiot. I sold my Nook Color and bought the wi-fi Tab because I wanted a front facing camera. I got it, set it up, rooted it, tweaked the build.prop file so the icons aren't so freaking huge, added Zeam, and installed the apps I wanted/needed.

So, I'm all good to go now I think except for video calling. This I can't get to work. I need to do video calling from the Tab to a PC and possibly to an iOS device as well. The Tab to PC is what is critical though. I can't find oovoo in the market, but I found an APK posted here and tried it out. It didn't work. It used my rear facing camera instead of my front facing camera and video from the Tab never made it to the PC I was calling. I checked and the tick box is checked to use the front facing camera. No matter what I check, it goes to rear facing though. Plus, Oovoo never picked up my BT headset as a microphone. (Tested the headset with google voice search and confirmed it was working later.) Qik is pre-installed on the Tab, but when I click it I get a message that says, "service coming soon." I don't think that lets me call PCs anyway. Yahoo Messenger has been suggested to me, but I don't see it in the market for my device. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxtcee:
Oovoo seems to work for everybody on here

Maybe your Res is to low I know below 182 the camera forcloses try putting it above 182
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
I changed my build.prop back to 240 just to test if that was the problem. It made no difference so I set it back to 190. My phone and my Tab are on the same wifi network. I have no camera on my computer, but I don't see that as causing the problem. When I call my computer, or vice versa, this is what happens. On my Tab, I see a blank avatar for my computer caller. This is to be expected of course. On the upper left of the screen, I see an image of what my rear facing camera is seeing. This appears whether I check the box for front or rear facing camera. Doesn't matter, I still see the rear facing camera. On my computer I see a completely black screen on the left and a blank avatar on the right. The video from the Tab never ever gets to the computer. The BT headset I'm using doesn't get picked up as an audio source. I here just noise over my computer speakers. When I mute the microphone on my Tab, the noise on the computer speakers goes away so I know this is the problem with the audio.

Edit: Are there any apps I can use just to confirm the front facing camera is working?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartlaroc:
A. Nonymous, i see you downloaded the oovoo.apk from here, is it the new mobile version that was released Wed. 27th April ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
No idea. I'm looking at it now, where do I need to go in the app to look?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dallastx:
You must be in a different country then the USA. I tried everything you complained about and everything works. GST Sprint 3g
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
I'm in the US and I'm using the wifi Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immaterialman:
To test the front facing camera, you can simply turn on the camera and then set it to self portrait... There's a white blob in the top left corner when you hold the tab wide ways. Clicking on it will give you camera options - including self portrait.

Sometimes the camera gets stuck and I find that you need to clear soom Ram...

Hope this helps

T
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Yes. That is a huge help. Let's me confirm that the front facing camera is indeed working. So to summarize:

Rear camera works.

Front camera works.

ooVoo can't be found in the market and sideloaded APK doesn't work. Doesn't recognize my BT headset for audio. Doesn't recognize the front facing camera for video. I don't know what version of the app it is.

Yahoo Messenger can't be found in the market.

Any other ideas to do video calling from the Tab to a PC?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartlaroc:
this is the ooVoo 27th April release app
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadlyheart4u:
there are things i use

Kik

qik

oovoo

tango
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Thanks for the APK. When I run it, I get the message "Sorry, your device is not supported yet." But their website says it is. I guess I'm left to contact their tech support.

I sideloaded Yahoo Messenger (loaded it to my phone, backed it up, restored on my Tab). It doesn't pick up audio either. This may be because I'm in so close proximity to the computer I'm calling. I may simply be picking up feedback from my computer's microphone. It also picked up the video from my rear facing camera and not the front facing one. I couldn't find any settings to change that.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1miracle2:
received the same message on my Verizon SGT-I800

"Sorry, your device is not supported yet."

Tango works for me as I have 3g, but I'm trying to get this to work on my step fathers I800, it's a Verizon tab but doesn't have 3g service. Was hoping WiFi video calling would work! Ugh...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
I think if I was doing calling to another Android device or another iOS device, things like Qik (sideloaded probably) or Tango might work. You'd think they would have some program pre-loaded on the Tab that would do video calling. I can't believe they don't.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
If it helps anyone, I contacted ooVoo tech support and got the following response, "Thanks for the info. Currently this model -Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 is not on our supported list of units and I'll escalate to engineering to research and get it added to the list."
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimov000:
install skype and qik which is from skype and you have a perfect working video chat application which I use to see my grandchilds in philipinnes from the netherlands in almost perfect video quality

Second possiblity is using a cobinnation of voip with video
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
Hi. I have a new SGT (wifi & cellphone) which I bought in Australia & using in Philippines. I am using both YSM & ooVoo successfully. YSM only uses rear camera. ooVoo uses rear & front. I set ooVoo to front camera in settings but first few times I ran the app, it used rear camera! This confused me for a while but after manually switching to front camera (you touch the screen over camera image) it stayed using front camera. Manually switching back to rear camera again usually results in the avatar you mention for the PC viewer... only occasionally does the rear camera actually work and then it's in the wrong orientation for the person you are talking to on PC. Strangely, rotating the SGT does not rotate the image on the PC! It must be using the motion sensor to "correct" orientation. I'm also using SGT & PC on same network.

One more thing that may be of significance is that sometimes when I've viewed an AVI video (can't tell you if encoding format matters) both the cameras stop working. The "viewfinder" only shows a corrupted image of the last frame of the video that I viewed?! The only thing I can do is power off/on to fix this.

I hope this info helps & doesn't add to your confusion! By the way, every time I start ooVoo it tells me my device (SGT-P1000T) is not supported, so it's no surprise that there are a couple of glitches but it works pretty well.

I just picked up my tab today.......US here.....tried fring firstand that works fine......just a fyi....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3nnynapalm:
Does Oovoo allow Oovoo to PC (skype) connections by chance?

- is there an application that allows for tab - skype or tab to google video chat connectivity as well?

I'll try out these options, just curious, thank you,
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Everything I've read about Skype says they don't support the front facing camera on the Galaxy Tab. You're saying this is incorrect? Qik doesn't let you call computers.

Fring doesn't let you call computers.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
Skype doesn't support ANY cameras on Android!! No video calling on Skype for Android.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
I went to fring.com and went to the downloads section. I saw links to download the app for iOS, Android, and Nokia phones. What am I missing here? I see nothing that lets you do video calling to a computer.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
You're dead right... Fring does not yet do a desktop client. The ONLY all in one video voip that allows phone-phone, phone-pc, pc-pc videochat & works on my SGT is ooVoo. I suggest you give it a go.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andychud:
UPDATE : For the last week or so, ooVoo (android to PC) has stopped working for me. My phone & my wifes PC are using same software as when it was working?!!

I contacted ooVoo support & they told me that they were upgrading their servers & that's probably the problem. I then received another email a few days later telling me that normal service has been resumed. However, it's still not working at this moment in time. PC - PC ooVoo works OK, but when I log into ooVoo on my phone I can see my contacts online, but I always appear offline to them.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichAP:
Has anyone tried Vtok yet?

http://vtokapp.com/
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Just an update on what I found that worked and didn't work. This is on the P1010 Wifi Tab. If you've got another model, your mileage may vary. It's likely that devs will update their apps rendering this list obsolete as well.

Tango - only goes Android to iOS. Does not work

Fring - Android to iOS. Works perfectly.

Skype - Doesn't work for video calling

Oovoo - Doesn't work at all. Connects, but uses the back camera, not the front one. Per Oovoo tech support, the P1010 is not supported.

FaceTime - Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha. So much for Apple's open standard.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] neopeek:
Hi everybody,

I made a bloatware-free stock Froyo ROM based on B158 which includes overclocked kernel from hiapk-forums.

It's rooted. Nothing special at all but may be useful for ppl who just got their new phone delivered. This ROM will wipe your /cust_data + /data +/system. So use at your own risk and backup important data first (NANDROID).

Everything works as expected.

Credits: stockwell, Huawei, GoAPK, Koush, CM-Team and anyone else whom I forgot.

Download + detailed Instructions
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] IsSuE^:
Will probably buy the phone tomorrow just to fool around with it, really appreciated what you did there!

On a side question: the bootloader is not locked on this device or is it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pb_1996:
how much OC?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
the oc kernel from hiapk is at 1056MHz max..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ibnefahim:
i m gonna try this
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ibnefahim:
so far working good , waiting for something like CM6 or 7
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mattbee:
not so good sorry to say..

Me too, hopefully we will see CM7 in the near future..

:(

OK so its in Chinese with no setup, and no Market, so this is a good start but not a complete rom at all. I will go back to the 135 build untill one that comes out that actually is complete and not just one page of apps. Very Very important for me to have Market etc etc..

:confused:

M..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Marensius:
Works great after changing language and installing happened from cwm. Thanks :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dibb_nz:
I just flashed this rom, and tho it did start with chinese characters somehow it changed to english...dunno how that happened as another poster said he installed a language pack, but mine did so automatically.

as far as the market etc is concerned you need to download the gapps zip using the link the original poster provided. It is an older version of the market and i'm not too sure how to update it...being fairly new to the smartphone scene would anyone care to share???

thanks dibb
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] neopeek:
you will have to install GAPPS from CyanogenMod Wiki as stated in the original thread (see link on 1st post). Afterwards most GAPPS will update themselves once you are online or use market
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dibb_nz:
getting force close android.process.acore

what i think i did:)

full wipe

flashed the b158

booted phone and turned off mobile data and set up wifi

booted back into recovery

mounted /system

installed gapps.zip

booted back into phone

signed into google

restored titanium backup

all was good for about 5 mins then constant force closes so bad it was a mission to power off. I full wiped again and reflashed but it happened again??? So for round 3 i am not gonna use titanium but manually download all my apps again and see what happens.

can anyone suggest where the problem may be??

[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I notice a guy with a rooted Play now has a brick after running an OTA.

There was an OTA available, which I did, before I rooted.

If I had rooted 1st, then initialized the OTA, would this have bricked my device?

Is this something that we should be aware of and should we be disabling auto search for OTA's as a precaution?
[Xperia Play General] teckhwee:
Mine bricked before i rooted. but after i unlocked the bootloader.
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
Offtopic: I think the term brick gets thrown around too much, it's still possible to recover from these kinds of errors, the phone still attempts to boot and you can get to the recovery or bootloader, so "semi-brick" might be more appropriate.

I've had actual "bricks" in the past, like no power, no led, no charge, no way to recover unless you jtag/serial connection the phone... those aren't fun expecially when you know it's you are the one that did it :p

don't mean to derail thread...
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
If gingerbreak was used couldn't one just unroot, then update and root again afterwards?

Would this be a safe way to go around it, if OTA 'semi-bricks' a rooted play?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Bitter Crimson:
It's very hard to _really_ brick an xperia device

Unlocking, rooting, flashing custom firmware.. none of these messes with your bootloader.

Rule of thumb: If you get the USB flash device on your computer when connecting a USB cable to the device and holding the back key you can ALWAYS recover it. Your best bet would be using Flashtool by Bin4ry and finding a suitable ftf-file for your phone.
[Xperia Play General] soudara:
hi

my phone are bricked an detected with my pc in semc flash with green led but i flash it with flashtool flashing ok but no boot i test with 3 differents .tft but same problem flash ok no boot

Id like to root my phone but with so many updates possible atm, im holding off... ive seen that post about some guy with the brick/semi brick phone from an ota update and i can do without that hassle.. my phones fast enough and has enough space for now but i will mod it when theres good reason too... if i was u i would turn off auto update just incase and check the forums for others advice when needed.

If it is unbranded, then the generic WWE RUUs will work. (Latest - RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe)

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eoghan1:
Hello, I am switching carriers from AT&T to Virgin Mobile and giving up my Atrix. I was wondering if the OG droid unlocked would still be a good option, if not what other sub 300 dollar unlocked cdma handsets would you recommend? Thanks in advance.:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ccrows:
If that's your price range I'd do it. Droid/Milestone is basically a carbon copy of the Atrix software-wise (I currently have both). It just has lower hardware specs that's all...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ben_duder:
In what way? The Atrix has Blur and the Milestone/Droid has stock Froyo.

OP, the biggest performance issue with the Droid is the meagre amount of RAM. Overall the phone will feel a lot less snappy than the Atrix (but then most phone will, I guess) although I'm really pleased with my Milestone's build quality and feel, and I would be lost without a hardware keyboard.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] staveandor:
If you can handle the low RAM of the phone and possible lagging if you use any 3rd party home replacements, the Droid is a 100% solid phone. I used mine for a year before upgrading to the Tbolt, but I still have it around and charged as a backup.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I have one of those Belkin units, they're very nice. But I can't find the specs showing the output on the USB ports. Is 15V @ 1.2amps a standard and this supports it? A bit ignorant about such things...
