[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidholic:
Does anyone know if there's a way to modify the actual mic settings on GB Roms?

I use VOIP a lot to save on calls but for some reason, all of my VOIP Apps, including the built in Internet calling feature in setting can't seem to help. I can hear others perfectly but they can't hear me well or not at all.

After doing some testing, I noticed that no sound goes through the mic from my end. I don't experience this issue when making regular calls.

According to the developer for Csipsimple, the issue may be due to some manufacturers not implementing the new API that is required for the stock SIP application.

Any suggestions, if at all possible, would be appreciated. I really wish manufacturers would leave Android as Vanilla as possible.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkady2k:
i'm experiencing the same issue... Microphone does not work on Skype, Viber and other VOIP Calls... i does work with wired headset. Anyone found a solution? I tried different Roms and nothing.
[General Questions and Answers] DiscipleDOC:
Are there any apps in the market that will let you have:

A transparent calander widget.

A photo grid where I can view multiple photos as a widget.

A transparent RSS news feed where I can insert multiple feeds.

I know that if these widgets/apps exists, I will have to pay for them, and I don't mind.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Assuming you want an agenda list rather than a month-view calendar, here are the ones I've tried:

PureCalendar Agenda (non-free): Very full featured - you pick the theme, colors, transparency level, and which calendars you want displayed.

Colorize Widget (free): A series of transparent widgets for things, including calendar. Pretty nice

QuickAgenda (free): Very lightweight and simple agenda widget
[General Questions and Answers] trollsperm:
I have actually bought all the "Pure ____ widgets", of which Se7enLC recommendes the calendar. I recommended it, it's really worth the 1 dollar it costs.. There's also a "pure news widget", which could be the RSS-widget you want. It reads your RSS-feeds from google reader.

Both pure calendar and pure news widgets are skinnable, i.e. you can have calendar and RSS/news with identical graphical design..

EDIT: and yeah, they can both be skinned to be transparent..

I just flipped off my wifi and a 4g icon appeared!

SWEET!

I searched Google and the best information I could come up with was, "Verizon announces 4g in Boise and Caldwell areas June 16th"

Maybe it is just in testing but it is there now and sweet.

just got my new Tbolt and its 605.7 so that means itat is mr1 if i am correct so does this mean im not gonna be able to root the same way as my last one like a new process or something. i tried to check to see if it would up date and it says theres no service but if it is 605.7 that is the mr1 till mr2 comes out im assuming and its BRAND NEW still has the void sticker on the screw
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
You can use JCase's method thats stickied in the development section to root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996616

It says its for version 1.13.605.7 so it sounds like it will work well for you. Its just like the older root methods just updated.
[Thunderbolt General] H3Dude:
I used this method twice this week with no issues.
[Thunderbolt General] sporty377:

[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
There is a leaked version already but no official release date yet iirc.
[General Questions and Answers] G.Hook:
Hello. Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap (sub $200) Android phone with no contract for AT&T? My wife is wanting to get her first smart phone, but she is not due for an upgrade until January 2012. We are on AT&T through a business plan. I'm looking for something cheap and something that can run custom ROMs (has an active development base). I'm running a Samsung Captivate with Serendipity 7 now. I'd like to get an android phone for my wife and I don't have a problem setting her up for a data plan, but I'm trying to keep it under 200.
[General Questions and Answers] August23rd:
You might want to try one of the prepaid networks some like virgin/boost etc. many have decently cheap phones android phones off contract. If you do not mind being on a CDMA network instead of GSM you could always try the LG Optimus V it retails for 149.99 and the plans are cheap as well. Just food for thought.
[General Questions and Answers] IEski:
Buy X10, its cheap **** when you buy it used, and until you dont have custom ROM/Kernel it really sucks, so you can play with this things :D Had it before really pain, even Had LG Optimus V/One yes that one have official dev in cyanogen. But i suggest something like Xperia Mini, i dont know price bcuz its still not out.
[General Questions and Answers] G.Hook:
Ok I am a little noobish when it comes to the differences between networks. Can I unlock a boost or virgin phone and use it on att's network? I have thought about changing carriers too, but I would hate to do that and then never have a signal anywhere (i work IT in a rural town). The price difference between like att and tmobile is crazy though. I currently am on a business plan through my work and pay around 75 a month for 550 minutes and another 35 per month for unlimited data on one line.
[General Questions and Answers] August23rd:
No you can not use a CDMA phone (boost/sprint/metropcs/alltell-verizon/virgin) on a GSM network, (AT&T/T-Mobile). I'd go on to each of the carriers I mentioned websites and use their coverage maps to determine if you have service where you are.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwhiper:
Hello guys!

I purchased this BH-501 headset today for my Defy to listen to music and to use in phone calls. The device pairs properly, the audio quality is good, buttons are working however during calls it seems that voice is breaking up and the volume is low (I can hear the other person perfectly however he can barely hear me and it breaks up every few seconds).

I would be grateful if someone could give me some advice or maybe should I return the headset and get my money back?

---

I've tried the headset on a Nokia phone and the issue did not occur voice volume was good and no breaking up.

My problem is that I can't figure out why this is happening. Is it incompatibility with Defy hardware or is it a problem with my Android version?

If it helps I'm using 3.4.2-177-5 nordic deblur:

-System version: Moto_Version.34.177.5.Retail.en.ND

-Firmware: 2.2.2

-Baseband: EPU93_U_00.59.01

-Kernel: 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4fdc376@zch68lnxdroid12 #1

Thank you!

i have the same Bluetooth Headset myself. the audio quality is horrible when you pair it with both my motorola XT720 and Defy. probably motorolas way of making people buy their over priced headsets.... >_> though they do look cool...

I tested it on another Defy and it acted the same so I returned them and got my money back.

Thank you for the input guys!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarkk'o:
This is not a solution

:D

I have the similar problem that voice call is half-duplex when Bluetooth handsfree, Jabra Wave is connected.

Is there any ROM or SW version that don't have this problem??

Nokia phones are working normally, full-duplex with Jabra Wave so Jabra is fine!

How to make DEFY Bluetooth voice full-duplex??:confused:

It is bad news that HTC is not going to provide Gingerbread updates for DZ.

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_will_not_be_updated_to_gingerbread-news-2779.php

Can XDA experts talk about some good Gingerbread ROMs developed here. Also if HTC sense works on those rom.

Thank you.
[Desire General] boloj:
This story is about the original Desire not the Desire Z
[Desire General] TheDeadCPU:
First of all. Wrong section.

Second. We already have test roms.

Thirdly. I know for a fact the official rom SHOULD be out by the end of this month.

Fourth. Well, that's for the Desire. Not Desire Z, which btw. Will also get 2.3.3, for all the above reasons.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
Was just wondering if you guys are or are not using a case, holster, ect. for your phone.

if your are using one if you could say which one and maybe some pros/cons, how you like it type of stuff.

I'm currently waiting on the otter box commuter to arrive, I had the incipio case much like the commuter and loved it but felt the commuter would add the extra protection I need.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Boogersugar83:
Naked. I can't find a good case for my Dinc2 with ext battery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Case. Really like the new kickstand Verizon case. Sits the phone up AND awesome holder for the finger when using it. Doesnt protect the whole phone though so Im going with the eBay Griffin Reveal look alike for now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Naked, for the same reason.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
I'm going nude also. I roll with a naked Dinc2 because the slimness was one of the reasons I chose this phone, and since it is on my works company plan, if anything does happen to it I will get a new one no charge (to me that is, my company may get hit with a bill).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pol45:
Has anybody tried the body glove for the Inc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Running naked. I don't like how cases bulk up the phone. Haven't run with a case for many years now across several devices without incident, and my devices have survived numerous drops.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] applejacks108:
I have the silicone one from the verizon store naked feels too slippery to me i'm afraid its going to slip out of my hand on the subway. Its doing pretty good. dropped it once on the stairs in the subway and its still fine. the only thing that bothers me is sometimes i have to take the case off to use the headphones jack. can anyone recommend another one? (i like silicone cause it lets me get a good grip on it. too afraid i'd drop it otherwise)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jdemerol:
Anybody check out the TPU cases for this phone? I also admire the slimness of the DInc2 and was thinking about this as an alternative to both hard and silicone cases.

Cheap on Amazon too.

EDIT...nvm saw the TPU thread down below. Definitely getting one!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
Using the Incipio two piece case half the time, the other half running naked just for the slimness of the phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
Naked.

Look at this phone. It's basically already wearing a case. I mean, I know accidents happen but I feel like this phone was designed to not need one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Droid Noob34:
I have the otterbox defender series and love it. Adds a lot of bulk if your not into that.

Would love to get there extended battery if they would get a case to fit it.

Sent 2 u via Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
once you scratch that aluminum in the front though you will be sorry. even WITH a case I dropped my phone in between my dashboard in my car and my seat and it scratched the aluminum so I had a nice long scratch of the aluminum. sucks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Aluminum? On the earpiece grill? That's the only part I can think of that you're referring to... :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
the whole front is aluminum from what i saw from the scratch. it sure isn't plastic..

the entire casing besides the back case,, give it a run with ur finger nail, once that starts chipping, or you scratch it you will see what i mean, i could be way off with the aluminum but it sure isnt plastic like inc1
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
It is something close to aluminum or other soft metal, at least that's what I thought. I also scratched the edge of mine just taking off a mobi hard plastic case I bought. Didn't take much at all to make a scratch.

Now, the back is plastic but made to feel the same as the front but I'm pretty sure it's not.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I agree 100%.

if it's the hard gel case from verizon, I bought mine the day it came out, it was the only gel case they had, but they gave me a full refund as there was a Tech Bulliten out fromm what I read here on the forusms, no receipt or anything and it was a diff store and got my money back so I was happy, cmae home and ordered an ottterbox. sucks just from a case the potential for damage is there. hopefully in a few months we don't have a bunch of complaints about this. I returned my scratched device for a refurb. no charge. told them it happened with a case on it. they had no prblem with refurbing it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Using a cheap TPU case off Amazon for now. Waiting to find that "perfect" case for my prem-case.

I wish they made these for the DInc2. I would pay big bucks for that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
wood? I wonder how well that would protect that. personally I would never put that on my phone. but it's cool. I am awaiting on the otter box commuter to arrive on Tuesday, and I can say from experience, that otter box is very well made cases, and come with a screen protector if you're into that.. I don't use them, but I will give pictures and a review once the case comes and I use it for a day or two. high quality case, can get it cheap on amazon, and great brand name, that isn't bulky. they also make a defender case, which isn't my style but looks like a truck could run over it and be fine lol.

commuter - LINK

defender - LINK
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Yeah, I used the Seidio for my Eris, and I am considering it for my DInc2. Never been real hot on the Otterbox look, though I haven't seen one in person. I like my cases low profile and simple looking. Maybe I'll meet an Otterbox one day and fall in love.

I don't even care if the wood case broke the first time I dropped it. If I could find a good one I would rock that thing like hobos rock trench coats and buy another if it broke.

I wood pay more for the case than I would the phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Definitely a reasonably soft metal for the front.. Dropped mine a week ago and I'm still pissed about it. If it weren't for the extended battery, I would have it in a case.. Grrr..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
that sucks man.. get a refurb.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Little pissed about it, but not enough to do that much.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I'm using a Seidio Surface case, it's the slimmest one I found while still protecting the phone. I had an Otterbox Commuter but the rubber shell drove me crazy and I need something different.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
crap really, gotta commuter on the way. hope I don't have the same problems.. I loved my commuter on my Eris.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
Yeah I think I am going to either stay naked or get a Seidio Surface. They look so nice and only add 1mm. You can't beat that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] eganraC:
I use this case too, love it.. the kickstand is easily the most attractive feature making 4g the only difference between this and the Tbolt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Legacy2385:
I'm using a TPU case I found on Ebay. I did a little review on it here. Feel free to let me know what you guys think of the review.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
Inc 2 case w/ kickstand.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lstarr:
Naked. I like the feel better. I bought the 2-piece incipio case but it just doesn't fit right. No case and no screen protectors for me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
I got a TPU case from epikcas.es, which is a site set up by an XDA member, I believe. He has dirt cheap cases, and I got one for free when he was running a promotion. It's a nice case, I can't complain. It doesn't add too much bulk, and seems like it would protect my phone from a drop. Also, it adds grip, which I think is needed. Keeping in mind it was free, it had a little defect when I got it, but I took a knife to it and it is fixed and looks good. If you don't want to spend a lot of money (I'm talking like $2.50 for the standard TPU) then I would recommend it all the way.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I got a free one too , same thing, I had a lil defect on my right side did the same took a knife to it and good to go lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] t0adman:
Straight nakies for me too. No protection whatsoever. This thing is pretty solid as is.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
That's what I thought until I dropped in in between the center cousel and the seat in my car, and EVEN with a case on it, it had a huge long scratch on the front, the aluminum is just painted black and easily scratches off... called in for a refurb immediately and thankfully they didnt charge me
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hojaye:
Using the Otterbox defender, bulky as hell but it makes the Deuce seem bulletproof. Built in screen protector functions better than I expected.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dreimond:
I'm using the body glove case on mine and I really like it. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone and it feels nice and solid when its on. I actually prefer it compared to the otterbox commuter case and defender. The defender case just made it too large and the silicone on the commuter case bugged me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I agree, I returned my commuter case when I got a free TPU case, the silicone bugged the crap outta me, really surprised me as the iphone4 commuter is great along with the one for the Eris I used to have.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
So I just ordered the I2 and really like to keep it naked. I'm coming from an eris and have the verizon clip holster that it snaps into naked. Something like this...

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=eris+clip+holster&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=yZJ&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&resnum=2&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1366&bih=596&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17171986493825725460&sa=X&ei=aw4VTpvlCoS10AHR0vhT&ved=0CFsQ8wIwAg

I would love to get one like this for the I2 but cant find anything that allows me to keep the phone naked. Am I stuck going with a seidio surface case and holster or did I miss wha I'm looking for?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dg4prez:
how are you guys getting refurbs from dropping your phones?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsteenson:
Naked and loving it. So far no scratches on body or glass. I suppose if I did scratch it I would try some flat black model paint to see if that matches. Can't imagine how I could convince Verizon that a several-month-old phone should be replaced if it was my fault it got scratched.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Clutch McWinner:
Just got my Otterbox Defender yesterday. This case is a BEAST. I don't really care about bulk, my job necessitates a hardcore case. I've broken 2 phones in last year, and having 3 toddlers in my house doesn't help either.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dg4prez:
anyone using either the barely there case by casemate, or the incipio feather case? i'm contemplating one of these.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloiselle:
otterbox commuter case.

love it. i dont drop phones anymore, but for standard protection it has great coverage and the batter and headphone port covers and NICE !
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Totally gotta get a case now. Dropped mine today, ****ing dented the damn front faceplate.. Doesn't sit flush anymore. I could live with the last time I dented it, but this is driving me nuts!

Bad part is, I still haven't found anything really for the extended battery, so that means I"ll be stock for a while..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Stam2000:
I had that on my of dinc. Rocking q defender case now cause someone ****ed up at Amazon lol. Love it though. The belt clip is nice to have
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mgftp:
I haven't used a case on a phone for many years. I hate the bulk they add and think phones these days can take a decent beating. I mean even a case isn't going to save you from a big drop. Just will save from small drops and the cosmetic damages they cause.

With that said, for my fellow naked guys and gals, what is the best way to cover the dings? Permanent market always seemed to work great on other phones for me but seems to rub off on this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cloiselle:
I'd never try to sell or push any product on anyone,

but for a 2 piece case the the low price, the otterbox commuter can't be beat for the DINC 2. great coverage and pretection.

I've had my phone since release day and I don't have a single mark, let alone scratch or dent on it :D first time i've done that with a phone and i'm really thankful for it !
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I can honestly say I'm jealous. It all went downhill for me after the first time I dropped it. Now I'm regretting not getting a case...but that's changing soon.

Oh, and for those wondering, I haven't tried them yet but will be ordering next week, this was posted in general: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169450

I got my Incredible 2 from an insurance exchange. It'll be here today. Yesterday, I bought an Otterbox Defender from Verizon. I won't let this phone get broken like my Inc 1
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AZKJS:
Naked as a Jaybird!

Still wanting to get that extended battery and I keep hearing there are no good cases for the expanded back anyway...

This thing is way more resilient than my old AT&T Aria!

I am certain that it is an aluminum bezel around the screen mine is a month old and just in and out of my pocket "not dropped" has started to show signs of wear especially right on the ridge just outside the glass.

I am using the 2 shell Incipio case from Verizon. Before I sold my Thunderbolt I had the same case and liked it a lot. My only complaint about it is that the rubber shell is a dust magnet and it drives me nuts.

I tried using the phone naked but it feels so slippery and small. I like the added bulk of the case.
