[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Supposedly Sprint is working on an updated baseband to fix the issue. The Pre OOTB basebands worked much better it seems, so they are testing an updated baseband.

With that said it is a real issue. Depending on where you are and what kind of signal you see the real world impact varies.

In my home I am in a "best signal" area and an "In Home" 4G area. I am lucky to get 1 bar of service and can usually get 1 bar of 4G (with frequent disconnects). Signal strength sits south of -90 dbm.

In and around Chicago my signal has been great though - full service and no real issues.

When I do get 4G coverage speeds are acceptable. 3G speeds go from dreadful to adequate depending on network congestion.

If you can demo a unit at a store that may give you a better idea of coverage where you are and how it effects the unit.

Root and use a tool such as root explorer to delete the relevant .apk from system/app/ directory. Oh and next time, use the search!

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] harolds:
Root and use Titanium Backup to Freeze the app, then after a while you are sure the phone is still working properly you can uninstall the app using Titanium Backup. If strange things start happening unfreeze the app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] livefortoday:
free solution

root and use 'Antek app manager' to freeze the app, it's free.

freeze is available in Titanium Backup pro only, (paid version).

I am not advertising this app, I am just sharing what I saw. Thought this was pretty Handy for International Travelers or anyone.

Free Unlimited Google Voice Calls Over Wi-Fi or 3G (Android App: GrooVe IP) Uses No Minutes! $3.99 in Android Market

I personally don't have much use for this but for some people, I can see this app being pretty handy. Basically, in conjunction with Google Voice, this Android app lets you make and receive free calls over Wi-Fi or 3G/4G without using any of your minutes. It's a fairly new app so there might still be some bugs but the developer seems to update it regularly. The app costs $3.99 in the Android Market. Seems like a hot deal to me. Details are below:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gvoip

Description

Voice without Minutes!

This app, in conjunction with Google Voice, lets you make unlimited calls to any phone in US or Canada using the data connection of your mobile device without using up any of your mobile minutes! Once you get a free public phone number from Google Voice, you can use this app to make or receive calls to/from anyone in the world. (For details of how to get a free US phone number, the low international calling rates, or any other details, please visit the Google Voice web site at http://www.google.com/voice.)

This app supports making and receiving calls using Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G data connections. It brings the power of Google Voice to you without the need to use any of your mobile minutes. You get all the advanced voice features provided by Google Voice on your mobile device. These features include:

- A single number that rings you anywhere

- Online voicemail--transcribed messages delivered to your inbox

- Free calls within US and Canada, and super low rates everywhere else

- The ability to send incoming call to voicemail

- Incoming call recording

- And many, many more...

It's like having two-phones-in-one. For example, you can use your original phone number for business and use the new one for personal use.

This app is also perfect for you if you are in a location with poor or no mobile reception but still have Internet connectivity over Wi-Fi.

Take your number with you when traveling with GrooVe IP! If you are traveling overseas, now you no longer have to be without a cell phone, or aquire a local cell phone in the country you are visiting. You can use your GrooVe IP phone to make and receive calls as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection.

If you have a smart phone with Wi-Fi connectivity but no mobile plan, you can use this app to convert it to a free, full-featured working phone.

This app has a separate dialer that can be used to make calls. Alternatively, the native dialer/call-log/contacts/favorite functionality can be shared between the "two phones" on a call-by-call basis.

** NOTE ** Please ensure that your Google Voice account is associated with either a gmail or google apps account.

** NOTE ** To receive incoming calls you MUST go into your Google Voice account and forward calls to Google Chat. You may also need to sign out of Google Chat or Google Talk in other locations as calls are only routed to one sign-in.

Thanks, yes I be been using it and it works well.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tekoholix:
I've also been using it...

...with minimal troubles:

I use it exclusively via wifi, and have to use Tasker and the Google Voice Settings Plugin to uncheck mobile #, and check gtalk as forwarded phones. I believe that this should be a setting that might be built into the app, as it would make it much more useable, imho. The tasker workaround, however, did have the added benefit of allowing me to also disable the phone radio, while wifi connected, to save power, etc...

I often leave gmail page open on one or more of my computers, and this confuses incoming calls, so must log out of all, as calls can only be routed to one gtalk client at a time (Google's issue)...

Nearly as often as not, when I receive an incoming call, the GrooveIP dialer does not open to permit acceptance, and I have to chase it into the taskbar, to answer. Also, not quite as often, when I do answer, the call connects just long enough for a "hello", before the wifi connection dies, and the call is disconnected. No other apps do this, nor do any of my other wifi client systems lose connectivity when it happens, so I'm guessing it's the GrooveIP app, tho I cannot say for sure...

Otherwise, it'll soon completely replace my cell-service, once our car and truck are fully outfitted with carputers and 3G/4G data, so I'm excited to see their progress!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsellers2:
Hi All,

All my searches on trying to find a resolution of Nexus S not working with Bluetooth voicedial have come up short.

Here's the problem:

I have tryed with multiple bluetooth devices.

The headset pairs fine.

The headset works fine when carring a conversation.

When holding the Voice dial on the BT Headset the "Blue Tooth Voice Dialer" prompt pops up on my nexus S

At which time it just does nothing. Like it doesnt even hear me speaking into the BT headset.

When I use the Voice Dial feature without Bluetooth it works fine, but whenever using a Bluetooth Headset (No Matter Which One) it will never dial a number.

Does everyone else have this issue on their Nexus S? If not, what is the difference between your set and mine? I'm just at a loss why the Nexus S will not work with Voice Dialing over Bluetooth.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Nokia BH-600 (an oldie, I know) works fine with voice dialing. This isn't particularly helpful, but it does work with some headsets.

When you hit the voice dial button do you get the "Speak Now" prompt in the BT headset?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsellers2:
Everything works except if I hit my button on my band new Bluetooth headeset. I got it working by using Clinton as my default for voice dialing. It works with the Bluetooth headset.
[Xperia Play General] fvig2001:
Hi.

I'm on the fence on switching from an iPhone 3G to an xperia play. I'm kind of hesitant about the music control in xperia play, since I've never used Android before but the gamepad is slowly drawing me in since the iPhone emulation scene (the ones that I like) is mostly dead due to zodttd quiting ios and pandora scene.

Here are my questions:

1. Does this phone have a shortcut like the iphone where you can quickly control the music by pressing the home button twice and clicking on a media playback icon?

2. Does number 1 work when the phone is on sleep like the iphone?

3. Can 2 be done on just inside the pocket of you pants with minimal eye contact with the phone?

4. Does the position of the 3.5 jack feel weird/flaky when the phone is vertically set in your pocket with earphones attached?

5. Is it worth buying the phone now? I'm thinking this phone will end up being worth $350 at some point in a few months here? It's currently $534 here. I'm thinking of either waiting for the iPhone5 or buying this.

6. Is true this phone is picky on earphones? I tend to break my earphones (only one ear works) a lot so I tend to buy cheap ones. I think I've broken 3 official iphone headsets, 2 sony earphones and 2 sennheiser earphones, so cheap is in for me as of now.

7. I'd also like to ask if there is an application like flicktunes where you can control the player by flicking up, right, left, down with one or two fingers?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play General] letmedanz:
Let me have a crack at this :)

1. You have shortcuts for almost anything on any android device.

Configure it the way you please for any application, with settings & options almost unlimited.

2.You need to specify if you mean phone is in sleep mode with the screen guard enabled or not.

If you are talking wen screen guard in enabled, certain apps have an option to not let the phone lock.

3. i'll skip this cos am not sure why you want to do this.. it's not very difficult to pull the phone out and stop music (or whatever) from the notification bar.

4. Feels quite fine.

5. IS it worth buying this phone? am not sure about that.. depends on your preference. but my advice would be an android device is a definitely more user friendly and customizable.. and free.. open source remember

6. any kind of ear phone will work... keep ur ears safe :)

7. almost any app there is for the iphone or windows fone or anything that has some usability, there is an android app.

thanks for asking!
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
I was a former 3GS owner and I can't say enough good things about the Xperia Play. I don't miss my iPhone at all.

The only gripe I have is that the level of brightness is never going to be as high as it is on the iPhone. Other than that you can customize Android to do a lot of things like the iPhone. Starting music is as easy as putting a music control widget on your homescreen. If you root you can also use a button remapper app to map media controls to any hardware key on the device, so in your pocket... easy to play/stop/ff/rewind with blind button pushing. You can even use an app called Tasker to do even further automation of almost any kind.

The headphones jack feels solid, never flakes on me, doesn't feel weird on the side. I use Sony Bluetooth headphones 90% of the time and it never has problems connecting either (cords annoy me on any device).

If you like emulation and games, get this device. It's easily the best phone to handle it. Touchscreen gaming will never be able to match the tactile response and level of control you get from real built-in controller keys, period.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
1. There is a music widget, which you can place on any one of your homescreens, which has all the controls.

2. I'm not sure how you can use on screen controls while the screen is off...considering this isn't possible on iphone either I'll assume you mean lock screen controls, in which case yes, you can.

3. If you have an in-line remote you can. I've also heard of assigning long press volume up and down for next and previous track, for pocket navigation.

4. If you have a 90 degree jack on your earphones, then it's fine.

5. That's all a matter of opinion. In my opinion, I'd much rather go for the play rather than the iphone, ESPECIALLY if your doing console emulation. On screen controllers have NOTHING on physical buttons, period.

6. No, no issues here.

7. Yes, because you can download different music players in the market, you can choose the one that best suits your needs. I have seen ones with gesture controls.

All in all, in the switch to Android you can literally feel the grip on your balls loosen once you figure out all the options you have.
[Xperia Play General] afflux_ashish:
If you are going to use headphones for listening to music, you can install poweramp and use heatphone button to control your music. A single press of the headphone button can be used to start or pause the music. Similarly double press can be used to skip to next track and triple press to skip to previous track.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Yes it is. If your iphone is in sleep mode you can double click the home button and it brings up the music player. You don't need to unlock the home screen.

And no I could not do this from the play. It would be nice.

I also came from the 3GS. It is different for sure but worth the adjustment.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
So what's wrong with lock screen music controls? I know it doesn't behave exactly like the iphone but the end result is the same, music controls without unlocking.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Umm. That was the question. He asked if there was a lock screen controls.

I said I have not seen any controls from the lock screen. Gees, why don't you relax? I said he will get use to the difference.

Edit: And yes you can do it on the iphone and you said you can't
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
No, he didn't

Try a different music player

Was I yelling?

...What? When did I say that?

Why do I get the feeling you just like arguing...
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
This is where. I just said it is if you double click the home button. It brings up the music player without unlocking the phone.

I haven't found a way to do this on the Play is all I said. I didn't say it's not possible.

Edit: and I'm not trying to argue. I was just pointing out that you can do it on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
You completely missed the first part of the sentence, I was obviously referring to something else. I didn't know about the double click home while sleeping while playing music feature.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
And i was simply telling you about it. I didn't mean to offend you.
[Xperia Play General] fvig2001:
Thanks for all the replies most of them were really helpful. I'm still on the fence though since I'm still thinking of the number of apps in the app store vs android market (I have an ipad, so this point maybe moot except for camera apps).

I am also worried about the possibility of a follow-up to this phone and the dpad functionality on fighting games (see other thread). I'll probably buy the XP (if ever) after 2 weeks since the Zagg here will only have it by then (Considering buying the dock and too lazy too remove case every time).

Hopefully I'll adapt to the quickly to the controls in the widgets and the syncing using iTunes through 3rd party software.
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
DoubleTwist has this option, puts a skip/pause and play controls on its own lock screen. there is also a tap to unlock button which then goes to the handsets lock screen.

Coming from iPhone its also great as the desktop app uses iTunes and has wireless syncing as well.
[Xperia Play General] chokonen888:
Have the iPad and the play, you won't miss anything if you have both :P
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
Is anyone successfully using Fring on a Vibrant? I have a rev 2 ffc installed, Bi-Winning V2 and Fring used to work pretty well. I can't say exactly when, but sometime in the last month or so it started having problems with mic volume. I make a test call, and I can hear myself, but just barely. People I call complain about being barely able to hear me. The camera works fine. :)

I see that some people are saying that Fring is working with CM7. I was wondering if there are any other roms that Fring might be working well with? Or if anyone has any idea how to adjust the mic input? Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlazyone:
Funny you should ask that I was starting to think I was going crazy. My mic volume was fine before but I flash new roms a lot and don't really check if the mic volume is working properly. But for some reason I am having the same issues... camera works fine but mic volume is really low. I don't remember which rom I had that had the mic sound working properly and can't seem to find one that does.

Strangely enough, using the voice recorder records my voice at the expected volume. I started to think my phone got busted somehow. I tried increasing mic sensitivity on the voodoo sound app but that doesn't work either.

Maybe it's a fring issue. I'll try another video chat app and report back if I find something else.

Currently I am running Bi-Winning v3.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
Well, I guess that answers the question as to whether I should update to Bi-Winning v 3.0 to solve the problem. ;)

I beleive this is a Fring thing. I've gone so far as to pull and older version of Fring out of an old Titanium backup and installed that apk. (v 2.4.4.2). The older version seems to work better, although the mic volume is still not great. I think that I would have viewed it as OK in the past, though.

If you'd like to try the older apk, let me know and I'll post it somewhere.

Hey all,

I've had a Wavesecure license about a year now using it for security and locating my phone if lost, I also use Lookout for malicious app scanning etc.

I updated one of these 2 last night (I don't remember which) and now Wavesecure is telling me that it cannot run alongside Lookout for some reason, considering standard Wavesecure doesn't have any malware scanning I'm surprised, although do have some common features it wasn't a problem before.

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
I figure this is a development question but if this needs to be moved feel free to do so mods. I compiled AOSP GB no problem but now it's bootlooping whenever I try to start it up. It doesn't even get past the first boot screen so ADB isn't even available. I thought it might be a kernel issue but I tried the CM7 kernel, stock kernel and stock GB kernel. No avail. I compiled GB for the Evo no problem before but it's not working now. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
You have been around dd for awhile, so I will not ask if you did a full wipe before you flashed the ASOP GB (faux?).

But if you have tried flashing all those other ROM' it may be time to do it again. Also, after flashing an Ext4 kernel, you will generally not be able to flash successfully any of the Ext3 kernel ROM's you mentioned above. You would have to restore an Ext3 nandroid first

You did not say if you had a nandroid on you SD. If not, you may have to put one on - the only one I know of is on a thread in the development section. But this will take you back to square one - unless you had an app backup program on the SD like titanium.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
Yeah I had a nandroid and everything. I'm thinking it has to be a kernel thing so I'm going to try a nandroid backup to the stock rom and then see if flashing works. I'll keep ya'll updated. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorahole:
before i decide to flash i was wondering if it erases the emmc partition?

and also which roms(if any) support 8mp camera and 720p video recording/playing?

i use both so much, so i dont want to loose them

thanks for any help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
No roms will wipe the emmc partition.

Any Sense 1.0 (SkyRaider 4, Redemption roms, Magnolia etc) roms will definitely support 8mp and 720p video recording/playing.

No new gingerbread AOSP support 720p recording, but can handle playing it perfectly.

Play around with a bunch of different roms until you find something that you like!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorahole:
ya, i will. just was hoping to get away from sense and keep camera functions
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Well the camera on CM7 is atrocious (it's stock from AOSP) and most people replace it with a version from MIUI. I would suggest trying MIUI because it has a ton of awesome new features, and the camera is AWESOME even though it doesn't have 720p recording, I think you'll still like it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StormFreak:
So, I saw this issue posted a few pages back, but never saw anyone who had a real solution. A couple days ago, while still on GingerRemix b5 and Imo's 3.0.1 kernel, I started seeing some weird WiFi behavior. I would unlock the device, and notice that there was a sync error with my Exchange account. The wireless status icon would briefly show no bars, and then refresh. Once this happens, my Exchange would sync, and GMails, and other notifications would all catch up. It seems very spotty when this happens, as sometimes the device is locked for 30 minutes or so and things will sync, other times, after 15 minutes or so I notice the issue.

I have confirmed this on multiple wireless networks (secure and unsecure). I have since upgraded to GingerRemix b6, and even tried the DreamKernel, but the same issue is still occuring. My WiFi policy is set to Never sleep. I know someone else in the forum has seen this issue, and I was just wondering if anyone knows of a fix. This is really the only major issue I'm having right now.

To troubleshoot, I ran a ping from my PC to my phone. I noticed that when the screen went off, a few seconds later I would begin to get "Request Timed Out" for the ping. A minute or 2 after that I start getting a few responses of "Destination Host Unreachable." A few minutes after that, I ONLY get "Destination Host Unreachable". What is strange, is if I am plugged into a charger, I consistently get successful pings, even if the screen is off. Taking the typical next step, I wiped data, cache, dalvik twice and reinstalled the ROM. Booted up, and before even restoring apps or anything I connected to WiFi... The issue is still exactly the same.

Can someone else on this ROM run a nonstop ping (-t on Windows) on their WiFi connected, unplugged phone. I'm curious if I'm the only one seeing this behavior? If so, I'm going to assume it's a possible hardware issue that has developed. This isn't a dealbreaker as I can run on 3G/4G fine, but I would really like WiFi to work properly again.

Any help/results would be greatly appreciated!
