[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdbassett:
So now that Spring/GV integration seems to be picking up speed, lets talk SIP.

I have multiple situations where I would like to have the choice of using a SIP gateway instead of my phone. (ipod at home, second phone at home, etc.)

Now, many of the how-to's on the internet are focused on purely FREE options. I'm willing to pay a little bit, ($1-$2 a month). Also, many of the how-to's rely on services that don't exist or seem to work, (gizmo5, sipgate, etc, etc).

1. So what CURRENT methods are there for getting an inexpensive SIP gateway to add to my phone list in google voice?

2. Does google have any way to just do the connection strait (without adding a SIP gateway as a phone?

3. Google talk is listed as a phone. What the hell does it do? My google talk app doesn't ring on my phone. There's no google talk app on my ipod. It didn't ring on my computer. What the hell does it do?

Some clear explanations of the options (paths the call can take and the different technologies necessary to make the paths happen), current good services to use, and current, good apps (for various systems Windows, Android, IOS, etc) would be very very helpful. Thanks!

Read HERE.

I think I already answered everything you're questioning about in this new thread in that thread that's only a few days old. Although I also answered your #3, I'll elaborate slightly. The Google Talk call forward option refers ONLY to an open web browser page of Gmail with the Google Voice plugin installed currently. Any more questions, point them in there and I'll be happy to answer you, as I've already tested and use every service you asked about personally. :D
[General Questions and Answers] ComputerSurgeons:
I have been given the task to find a Sub $200 tablet that can use the android store and use as many of the apps there as possible. The tablet is for a child so the core specs (CPU, RAM, Storage) are all I'm really worried about. I need it to be a 7" or larger, and prefer it to be a capacitive touchscreen but know that might not be possible. What tablets would you suggest?

Will the SC2 handle 720p High Profile MVK's (Exynos CPU) .. I know from the tegra 2 can't and chokes on the content that a JB ipad with XBMC plays
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoolzo:
I think it does, I downloaded the latest episode of fringe (1gig in size) which is 720p high profile. Plays without a hitch. Wont play at all on my HD2 and wouldnt on my tegra tablet either. (or ipad using VLC player)

it even plays 1080p high profile, albeit you cannot use seek or it just hangs, if you just start the movie and let it play it plays fine and in sync, tested this on a 2 gig episode of band of brothers 1080p high profile.

and this is before any optimisations by any media player makers, the phone has the potential to blow everything else out of the water, not even the IPAD 2 can play my copies of fringe, just stutters.

Can't you just import one even if they don't? I have no idea what bands Japan use or anything though to be honest. Are they the same as the UK? Glad to help btw :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tokyorob:
The bands are the same for DoCoMo and Softbank however DoCoMo filters the IMEI so you can't use a non docomo handset without paying extra

Softbank don't use filters however their service is poor

[Milestone 2 General] JackStoreytime:
I messaged motorola yesterday and I received this response

"Hi Jack, I refer you to our recent statement re. Bootloader: Motorola will enable an unlockable/relockable bootloader, currently found on MOTOROLA XOOM, in future software releases where carrier and operator partners will allow it. We understand... the operator requirement for security to the end user, and will look to strike a balance with the need to support developer communities in using these products as a development platform. It is our intention to include the unlockable/relockable bootloader in software releases starting in late 2011.

In the meantime, Motorola provides a number of resources to developers to foster the ecosystem including tools and access to devices for developers at http://developer.motorola.com"

What do you think?
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
Old news .. they say that since a week.. i personally doubt it... its just that i dont believe motorola.. also "if carrier allows it" and "in future software releases".. who knows if the Milestone2 ever gets an update.. and the carrier thing.. they could use it as a backdoor

I replied asking about the unlocked phones which can't really come under "carrier allowance" so i dno...

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyro:
Anyone know if the Android market place accessed from a Xoom wifi version is region free or locked? And whether the marketplace apps that are not built for tablets will show or not?

Reason i ask is I'm in Hong Kong and got a wifi version here but I want to install etrade app, but it doesn't list on the market app, however it lists on the market website.

When I try to checkout I can send it to my phone but not my tablet, saying it's incompatible.

If the market is region locked I wonder whether market enabler would work since the wifi version doesn't have sims.

Could anybody with the skills make an oc module for the play. That would be awesome, then the play could be oc'ed without unlocking the bootloader nor flashing ;)

install sdk and ndk. set up path to sdk/platform-tools and every folder with binaries in ndk.

then, arch=arm, cross-compile=arm-eabi- make

if you get compilation errors, simply add make menuconfig to disable problematic kernel part.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menthix:
Is there any way to change the lower 4 icons, or at least set it back to default? I lost my Phone and Contacts icon, just Messaging and Applications are showing.

Not sure how this happened, it started somewhere between updating to WKE2 -> Rooting -> Adding the stock kernel back again -> Freezing some apps. I have unfrozen all apps nog, but the 2 icons have not come back to the static buttons at the bottom. I can however see them in Applications.

BTW, besides than this WKE2 seems to be running smooth for me, was a little worried after seeing some other threads.

Open up the App Drawer, hit 'Menu' (left softkey), drag what icon you want out and replace it with what you want.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dccxviii:
My boot-loader is already unlocked (which of course wiped everything) in the process of rooting 2.3.3. But now that i've updated to 2.3.4 i've lost root and need to root again. I found this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007782 but it requires clockworkmod which I haven't installed.

Will installing clockwork and re-rooting my phone wipe my data?

Note that as of yet, the alternative guides that i've read that describe rooting without using clockwork have all failed/don't have sufficient info to use. So i've resigned myself to having to install clockworkmod to gain root.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jottosson:
no, flashing recovery does not wipe phone, nor does flashing superuser. Test fastboot connection: fastboot devices. Put cwrfilename.xxx in /tools/ folder (where fastboot is) in your ADB install. Boot CWR: fastboot boot cwrfilenamr.xxx. (If successful, consider flashing the same file: fastboot flash recovery ename.xxx to replace recovery, instead of booting it every time you need cwr.) Flash superuser-zip through cwr. Profit. Standard disclaimer apply :-) Search the commands first...

sounds like a weak cable, u tried another headset?
[LG Optimus 2x] jan1000:
I experience this only when THE phone is on 2g.

When i use THE handsfree speaker, THE noise is gone.

Seems THE 2g radio interferes with THE internal speaker.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mskiasu:
When i use the headset or when it's on speakers, the noise is gone.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mskiasu:
I agree with you. But sometimes when I'm on the go, i like to answer the phone immediately without having to switch on the handsfree or using the headset. Especially in a noisy place, i can't hardly hear the other person talking due to the static noise. Previously when i use a nokia phone, I didn't have this problem. Even when i switch off the 2G, it still has that static noise.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mskiasu:
Just send the phone back

The static noise is unbearable already. So I've send it back because it's still under warranty. Besides the static noise, the LG Optimus 2x freezes and crash most of the time when using the firefox browser. Not sure if its the hardware or software. Previously before I update the latest version. The phone does amazing thing like shutting off by itself or else restart by itself.

I regret buying the phone, cause this is the first time i bought a smartphone. Apparently, it isn't a smart phone. Its a stupid phone.
[Thunderbolt General] thafngame24:
I have not received the OTA update from Verizon on my phone yet. I continue to check for it but the popup screen that says its checking for a new update just disappears and nothing happens. I do not even get the error message that the servers are unavailable. I do not know if something is wrong on my phone with the check new option but im not having a lot of confidence in receiving the update OTA. So I would like to install the update manually through HBOOT and recovery. can somebody please help me through the process? I have downloaded the OTA file onto my computer. Do I need to rename is update.zip or PG05IMG.zip? i have already tired update.zip and i get a operation error and my phone just reboots. I would like to do this without having to wipe my device in the process. My phone is not rooted and is running stock. Thanks in advance for the help.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Unless you want to have random reboots, don't install it. The update doesn't do **** and just causes more problems than it solves.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
Where did you download the update from?
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
The random reboots were not related to the update. it was related to the cell towers and network. Myself and others that have installed it are running fine.

You cannot put the update in without losing all phone internal data, such as apps, screen setups, email settings and so fourth..

If you want to install it, download the file and rename it to PG05IMG.zip and put it on the phones memory card(not in any folders).

Power off the phone & then hold volume down and power together at the same time and it will boot into Hboot and see the file and then ask if you want to update. Just follow prompts and you will be fine. Once it gets to the thunderbolt animation screen, it will sit there for a couple of minutes (up to 5) dont panic, just wait and it will boot up.

This will delete all phone internal data and make it like its straight out of the box when it was purchased except it will now have the updated firware and radio. Your sd card will be fine, it shouldnt delete anything off the sd card but always back up the card in case.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:

[Thunderbolt General] thafngame24:
So there is no way to do this without having my phone wiped clean? There must be something wrong with my phone with the whole software update process. Everytime I hit the Check new under Software update, the pop up box comes up saying Checking for new Software available now. but after a few seconds, it just disappears and nothing happens. I do not even get a message saying that your phone is up to date or no update is available. Is this normal? This has been doing this since day 1. Has anybody experienced this and is there s fix for it? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Since when does updating the radio wipe data/cache? :confused:

I've flashed multiple radios and it doesn't delete anything.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
He is not just wiping the radio, he wants to install the new update maually. If it was just radio, he would be fine.. The update will flash the new radio and new firmware... The firmware part will wipe it
[Thunderbolt General] KeithRVA:
I'm in the exact same situation as the OP, but my phone is running perfectly without the update. I have read a lot of complaints here relating to reboots as well as the gps getting worse. So I plan to avoid the ota like Steve Jobs avoids calories. But I am wondering if not having the update will be an issue when Gingerbread rolls out for the TBolt? I don't want to be left out for that one!
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Gotcha. My bad man. :)
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
Updating should fix the issue with you getting the manual update to work properly or you can just do a factory reset. Either way you will wipe the data...

There is no way right now to update the phone without wiping, sorry...

If you have your contacts as google contacts, once you sign back into gmail. The phone will verify your account and resync your contacts and redownload any apps (paid & free) that you got from the market... its not that bad really
[Thunderbolt General] thafngame24:
How does the OTA update not wipe your phone when updating using Check now on your phone?

[Thunderbolt General] dtt255:
Wondering the same thing here.....
[Thunderbolt General] thetwiztidfreak:
One possible reason for some not receiving update Ota is that verizon may be rolling it out to certin groups of thunderbolts at a time. I know they did this with my original droid. But I could be wrong and have no info to back it up.
[Thunderbolt General] kwiggington:
Mine popped up asking me to update but i didnt accept cause im rooted
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
All I can say is if you update throught he verizon notification you will be ok. From what I know, there is something in the package from verizon that puts it as an update and keeps most data and settings. When you flash it any other way, the update part is not seen by the phone, rooted or not rooted.

If you are that worried, wait for the update to show on your phone. Updates usually roll out over 2 weeks in no particular order. Also some others said they had the same issue when they checked for an update but they kept trying it that way and it eventually connected to it.

There really is not more I can say, your options are wait for the over the air update or just flash it now and take a few minutes to setup your phone..
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
When your rooted and accept an update, it shouldn't install anyway. most roms have it blocked from installing because the signature doesnt match
