I haven't used vvm for a while, but I used redlist and it worked. It just sucked because the notification icon is black so it's hard to see against a dark status bar.

You have to turn off all sms app notifications and turn on notifications in redlist.

nandroids are for

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch1naski:
Do not block 9016 through Sprint, as you will stop receiving voicemails.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AwfulFaded:
Handcent's blacklist didn't work for me to block 9016, but Go SMS Pro worked.

*some* newer ROMs give the stock messaging app the option to block 9016, like this one. Blocking it from within the stock messaging app, even if it's not the one you use for day to day use, should block it for any and all SMS applications.

jaybob got the code to block 9016 from kushdeck and evervolv, so I'm hopeful there's a way to simply patch the messaging app without requiring a new ROM. At the same time, we're getting swarmed with a lot of quality ROMs these days so people shouldn't' be afraid to try one (or more) out. Life is good for Hero owners. We are spoiled thanks to some great developers.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcj77d:
i finally got SVVM to work on my hero running cm7 (7.0.3), just lastnight, & i use "super private conversation" to block the 9016 text messages, i tried redlist, but still got a notification.

edit: not really sure how i got VVM working, it took several hrs, trying several different ways.

i went back to my stock 2.1 rooted rom, updated the VVM, & used TI backup to backup the VVM, & kinda followed the directions on the aospcmod repo page, method 2, & even used the TI VVM backup off that page, along with the stuff on cyanogens forum, & from www.thetechtemple.com
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pugs30th:
Thanks. I put Redlist on and didnt seem to do squat. But I didnt change these settings.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MTsol:
I had this same issue with both my hero and evo. I found a fix for it on another site:

"To fix this, go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable". Then go to your VVM application, hit menu, compose and enter your own number as the send to, hit record for 4 or 5 seconds, then hit send. The VVM app will then download any messages you had waiting."
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Anyone else having trouble finding the google voice app in the market?

I can't locate it at all......I'm running rooted stock 3.1 (8.4.4.5).

Would appreciate if anyone has a link to the apk. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Don't see it through Android Market, but if I search in AppBrain's market and then click the "Market" link, it takes me to it correctly in Android Market.

I don't need to use it, so didn't try installing, but usually when I can only get to it via AppBrain, it means the app is marked as being not compatible for some reason. Perhaps because the TF lacks cell capabilities?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Thanks for the suggestion of Appbrain. It did identify the app, however when I clicked on install i was advised "app could not be found". Looks like Asus/Google blocked it to try and stop people using their [WiFi] tablets as phones. Effin greedy telecoms. I already pay one cell bill so why should i pay a second to use my number?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Thanks for this. Unfortunately it won't work. The setup has a problem with configuring the voicemail settings as it can't communicate with the tmobile network. Additionally, when i try to call,one of my contacts, it can't do that as their is no dialler on my tab. Maybe if I install groove ip then it may work?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alex9090:
By itself it only works for texting. I use it with Groove ip and it works fine...ish.

Hello xda. I'm looking for a photo application that is similar to the photo board app that can be found for ipad. Its a multi touch table format photo viewer with resizing and cool effects. Also I'm looking for a video player that supports .avi format videos. I know there are lots, but not all work very good. Arc media doesn't with very well and vplayer is buggy. Thanks!

P.s. any other graphically cool apps that use multitouch to take advantage of the large screen? (Multi pane web browsing?)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmandic:
In a world of trouble now. been on sd 1.9.0 (initially on 318 official), everything was great for some time, then, after a month or two, phone started acting funny (frequent random reboots, hangs, could not start for hour or two when got into dell logo loop...), so i decided to do factory reset. did it and after that could not install any app or recover any titanium backuped apps. when installing any app, install process will continue endlessly, with progress bar always on start (but not freezed, bar is moving, but there is no progress). same thing with titanium backups - could not make any restore - also it starts, but no progress.

later tried new rom flash (sd 1.9.0), then 1.8.1, then 318, then simplestreak 1.2, then again 1.9.0, all with factory resets - could not fix my problem - could not install or make recovery.

hardware-wise all seems without malfunctions. been thinking that maybe internal sd is defective, made check from engineering menu and all seems ok with it.

got no more remedies, made around 50 reflash attempts today, no luck.

another idea that buggs me: could it be that app folder on internal memory is somehow not writable? what are normal permissions on internal memory folder structure?

looking forhelp - solutions or ideas. do you think that is hardware or software defective?

got some kind of warranty, but i'm not sure that i could enforce it...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Can you install apps normally though the market or sideloaded?

It could be that your backups are bad if you can install other stuff
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Need a little clarification. Does your ROM after the flash run OK? If it no longer reboots on its own or hangup, doubt you have a problem with your internal SD.

I would recommend scrapping Titanium, I quit using it and started using MyBackUp Pro and haven't had any issues since when I recover apps.

You could do one of several things...

1)Use the QDL tool to get back to a stock ROM, then flash StreakMod and then StreakDroid 1.9.0 and see what happens.

2)Try replacing the internal SD with a 4GB class 10 which will improve performance and do away with the trouble if that were the problem

3)Use the QDL tool to get back to stock ROM and send it in for warranty if all else fails
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmandic:
No, i can't install via market. When i connect to market, it instantly start to download updates (Gmail, Maps etc.) and, when downloaded, it will start installing, and progress will endlessly be stuck on start...so basically same thing like manual install or Titanium recovery.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Ok, you do understand that if you are allowing the market to install all the updates you had on your phone before, it could take a considerable amount of time, and may seem to get stuck. It doesn't download and install one by one, it begins downloading everything you had in your market account (something I hate about the market), so it may be trying to install 20 or 30 or 40 apps and updating others that are part of Android ALL at the same time. It could easily take an hour if you have a hundred apps or so on your phone.

Just a comment, not sure if you have taken that into consideration.

But I doubt you internal SD is bad, if it were, you wouldn't get as far as you get without some force closes, or maybe not even boot.

Your issue is software related in my opinion. But I could be wrong.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmandic:
ROM(s) working (relatively) OK. Have some FCs on some ROMs, no frequent hangups and only some reboots. Didn't have any of them for a long time because i was trying to find some solution for apps install because without ability to install smartphone is useless.

I heard some bad things of Tutanium, but i was happy with it so far, and i think that it is not his fault.

1) tried that (318 and 351 stock), and others combinations, and always ended with same problem

2) and 3) if i try to replace internal sd, then i will void my warranty

if anything else fails, i'll try my warranty, but i don't know if i'll succedd, but i'll like it better to fix it on my own, if it is software problem, not hardware
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmandic:
Breaking News!

Interesting turn of events: out of pure despair, i tried to flash Streakdroid 2.0 (Gingerstreak).

Out of blue, i could again install apps! I played a little, and tried to flash SD 1.9, hoping that it would be "fixed" now. But, sadly, it isn't! I still cannot install apps on SD 1.9.0! I flashed SD 2.0 again, and found that on SD 2.0 i CAN again install apps (Titanium also works, although it is basically useless because most of backuped apps and settings don't work on GB).

Here is summary:

- on Froyo builds (318, 351 stock; SimpleStreak 1.2; 1.8.1, 1.9.0 SD) i CANNOT install apps (endless install loop) and restore Titanium backups

- on GB build (SD 2.0) i CAN install apps and restore Titanium backups

This is completely puzzling to me. I though that is probably hardware fault (internal sd or something else), but if on SD 2.0 everything works, and on Froyo builds not, it seems that is some kind of software error?

I suspect on some kind of folder permissions error. Does anybody know right permissions for internal system folder etc.?

I've Brought it back my Gs to the samsung assistance in my country, yesterday morning. Today afternoon i've brought it back from the assistance and the Gs was clean from the dust that was in the part of the glass in front of the "front vga camera".

Now my question is... how does the dust finished in there? there was dust since i buyed it?... in these day i'll see if there will be again dust...

Till my phone have warranty avaible, i'll bring it back to the samsung assistance in my country.

Meanwhile ... i'm thinking how i could keep away the dust with cover or with some can of spray air.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bowlfan1223:
When i do a nandroid backup it says no sd-ext to backup.

Did i do something wrong when i rooted it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
No you didn't do anything wrong. There is no sd-ext to backup simply because you have no sd-ext, and that's okay. Lol

Ext is a filesystem type, and sd-ext would be an ext partition on your sd card. I think it is mostly useful on phones with very low internal memory, such as the Nexus One with less than 200MB available for installing apps. I never used it with my N1 but if i understand it correctly, the sd-ext frees up internal memory by allowing you to mount system partitions to your memory card.

I don't think we really would need one with this phone because we have much more internal memory available from the start.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Yup...sd-ext is just a partition created for Apps2SD basically. You only have one if you partition your SD card for Apps2SD and enable the moving of all apps to the SD card...it's kind of like a second (and unnecessary) data partition. All in all, you did nothing wrong and your phone will still make good backups :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyxter:
Well, I think the voice recognition will be very handy while I'm driving, as can use for navigation and then still answer calls and read my texts.

I was wondering - what i the purpose of "double tap" as it only seems to work if you are actually in the voice talk app - in which case its just as easy to say hi galaxy. Or is there a way you can get it so double tap always works?

Also can you have voice talk running in the background so it always waits for you to say "hi galaxy", or does it need to be the foreground application to run. Expanding on this say I use voice to get navigation THROUGH voice talk, can I still use voice talk? :confused:

Sorry so many questions .. thanks though :D

(p.s. only just got it and trynna get to see how i can use it.)

Also finally - in messages how do you do a full stop/comma etc?

EDIT: Just tried to use voice talk from navigation (after opening from voice talk) and doesn't pay attention for hi galaxy - is there any way i can make it still search as would be VERY handy

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PashaNY:
just picked up the tab about an hour ago, and just started playing with it... so far, so good :)

the one thing that stuck out at me so far is the color... it's at least 300-500K too warm, and waaaaaay to vibrant...

is there anyway to tone it down a bit ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UCSB:
I couldn't find a way to adjust/calibrate the color on the device. I wanted my photos to look correct ... so I created an action in Adobe Photoshop that correctly adjusts the photos before I download them to the SGT 10.1.

Below is a copy of a post I made on the post processing forum on fredmiranda.com:

A little work allowed me to create a Photoshop action that will take images from my normal calibrated NEC 2690 work environment and apply a transform that preps them for use on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. In case anyone needs to get images looking good on a tablet, here is what worked for me.

In Photoshop, I created three adjustment layers.

1. Hue/Saturation - Reduced saturation (this was to overcome the highly saturated LCD on the Samsung).

2. Curves - I adjusted the individual RGB channels in the curves adjustment layer to get the right color balance on the tablet.

3. Exposure/Gamma - I reduced the exposure slightly and adjusted the gamma value to offset the gamma on the tablet.

Then resized the image for the small screen and applied appropriate sharpening.

I standardized on using sRGB for output. I left the original images intact ... this action can be used to create a a custom set of images for display on the tablet.

The good news ... I ended up with a beautiful tool for sharing images.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PashaNY:
thanks :)

i guess that's the workaround...

not sure i like having to work around the color issue, but i guess it's better then sitting in front of a booker explaining why the model looks like she just took a bath in orange juice :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jtseidner:
I think turning off Auto adjust screen power in the screen settings helps the reds a little. There is also an app in the market that will let you adjust the RGB but for the life of me I can't remember what it is called. I uninstalled it because it made the launcher laggy but other than that it worked OK.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jtseidner:
Found it: color filter service is the app. Its 99 cents.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PashaNY:
will definitely try this app...

rgb controls would be ideal, and will allow me to use a colorimeter...

thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] wrench115:
I've had the N1 for a long time now. My biggest complaint that I can't deal with anymore is the touch screen. I've been eyeing the Sensation for awhile now. For those of you that upgraded from the N1 did you regret it? What are you're thoughts on the Sensation compared to the N1. Other than the obvious unlocked boot loader.

I've heard there are touch screen issues are these as severe as the N1's?
[HTC Sensation] serialtoon:
The nexus one had touchscreen issues?
[HTC Sensation] wrench115:
If you used to fingers and crossed axis it would get confused left to right making it almost impossible to play games using virtual controllers. Intermittantly they will wig out and lose touch screen calibration. You would touch one part and it would read it almost a half inch off. Only work around for the calibration is to lock the screen than unlock it. This is what's driving me nuts.
[HTC Sensation] u83rp5ych0:
lawl.

Anyway, I came from a nexus one and I haven't had any touchscreen issues with my sensation. Personally im very happy with the phone so far. The only complaint I have so far is I really miss my trackball notifications, and of course the locked bootloader (but in time the second will change). Other then those, I cant really think of anything else.
[HTC Sensation] u83rp5ych0:
yeah, the sensation has proper multitouch too, no more cross axis issues.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
I had the awesome nexus one with very few issues and I haven't had any touchscreen issues with my Sensation! Just some lag in Sense...
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have since given my cherished n1 to my wife. She just wants my games lol....

Yes the touchscreen works finally but besides that I would wait until the bootloader is unlocked. I jumped in because of the 148 price at wally mart. Compared to what I had initially paid for the N1, I think upgrading to this baby is worth it for the price.

Do I miss my N1? Sure do, like the others said, trackball alert was a big thing for me. I miss looking across the room to see if I had missed a call or not from my charger. Also miss the weekly MIUI updates. Since the sensation, I haven't updated miui and I heard the lockscreen has been changed a bit from the normal ones. Makes me want to grab the n1 and start flashing the sucker....maybe just out of withdrawal lol....

The positives is that the phone looks and sounds great. Besides the low speaker volume in speakerphone mode and some other issues like the gallery and video quirks some users have come across. Do not get me wrong, I do NOT regret this phone at all. I just wish the s-off comes already lol.

I would like to get everone to email them and maybe we can get them to act on this a bit quicker.

This is the response I got;

Good question, Mike. We definately understand the concern regarding the phones with bootloaders that are currently locked.

Unfortunately, prior to the decision to refrain from locking bootloaders, the devices had already been shipped to their appropriate vendors, and it was too late to change the software on the phones.

As much as I would love to provide you with a solid answer regarding when the encryption/lock will be removed from our bootloaders, headquarters has not made any official announcements regarding this. Though, once this decision is made, we'll definately also announce this through our website, as well as Facebook & Twitter, as well. Stay tuned; we'll definately let you know, as soon as the information becomes available.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us, Mike.
