[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lordofthething:
Good day folks. This would be my first post on this forum. I have the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant 4G for close to a month now. It's been software unlocked and rooted with Bionix Frost custom ROM loaded on it. Wanted a few things clarified, so if you could please help me out with them, I would appreciate it. :)

1.) I have noticed that the phone heats up to a great extent only while browsing. If I stay on the web browser for any longer than 10 minutes, it really heats up, both on the front and back. Is this normal? Any solutions?

2.) GTALK app crashes if I try to initiate a chat conference.

3.) The media volume (video and audio playback) seems to be awfully low on using it with a decent pair of earphones. I was expecting it to be close to my Apple iTouch, but it's nowhere close to it. I'm using the stock apps to play the music and videos. Anything different that I should try?

4.) The phone won't play any media files if the battery has 15% charge in it. I understand it's a battery saving mechanism, but shouldn't WE decide when to play the media and when not to?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
The heating up is not normal. I watch entire movies from netflix and it doesn't get hot. I don't use gchat anymore, so I didn't even know there was a conference feature. Lol. For the sound, get voodoo control from the

Market and you can control the audio to headphones. The media issue sounds like a permissions issue. Go into cwm, clear cache, wipe dalvik and fix permissions in advanced. May solve a lot of issues
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Just adding onto what jager555 said (as always). ;P

The 15% battery life restriction is normal. I can't speak for playing media, but there is a fix for the camera. You would have to download SGS Tools and install the camera from there.

Hi, I have Wolfbreak's GB installed on my x10. Is it possible to make the timescape and music player widgets available to other launchers as well? I can only see these widgets on SE's ARC launcher, but not on other launchers. Really love these new widgets from SE. Thanks in advance :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yancm:
Any developers out there care to comment? I did a little search around this forum and found that people have asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. I'm not looking for a solution now, just wondering if its possible. Thanks. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumhole:
Hi,

Im in the same boat as you. I want to use these widget on other launchers but can only see in Sony Launcher.

Anyone know how to add the widget on other launchers?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silveraero:
I know that it's a missing when some widgets can't be use on another launcher but I think this problem caused by widgets' settings. Some widgets are set up just to run with Stock launcher only.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acerulz:
it doesnt work like that ..i think we need to modify the framework accordingly for installing the widgets on other launchers ...

Hope its right

thnk me if it helped
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adjin:
Well, is there any other widgets/apps that will provide similar functionality?

Also I think many ppl would appreasiate it if someone would modify the timescape widget to work with other launchers, I do think SE is onto something there, one glance and I'm up to date...

;-)

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
SE lock their widgets so they cannot be installed on any other launcher, it really annoys me becuase the stock launcher is useless (Not being able to even add more homescreens is a joke)

I would like to know if anone is actively working on this problem as quite a few people are asking about it.

Now that timescape is becoming more user friendly...with more extensions for more content....I would really like to have the widget but I refuse to use the poor excuse of the stock launcher.

This would be a good project to work on....lets see if anyone is listening
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pheel:
I dedicated some time previously to working on it to no avail. I BELIEVE its coded in the smali code, but if its forced to run on other launchers it doesn't work properly:

Timescape can't scroll [well can scroll but you can't see] and MIGHT take you to the wrong message/facebookthing/w.e. and only refreshes when you reboot...

Music player the little icon thing [thumbnail] does not change and the thing bar does not actively move [the time bar] and the buttons are glitchy

you name it, errors come. I gave up :L
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Thanks for letting us know...maybe you can post exactly what you did and where you got upto so that someone else can pick up where you left off....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arijit.Ray81:
Same issue bro. I use ADW Launcher EX... I want those features...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointblank_limited:
Would be great to have the freedom of using timescape on other launchers. the only reason i still have the stock launcher is because timescape and the music widget only work on it:mad: I guess it was a trap that was well thought of
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsrailfan:
I think pheel is the only one to have made some advancement on this project (that too, on my request :D) but it faded out 2-3 months back. Hope with the senior devs (yes, greg, bring 'em on!) we can see some progress!!

I had 4 updates in android market so I decided to hit the update all button. So all 4 apps started downloading, but for some reason they stayed saying download and now they will not update. They are still in my notifications bar saying ongoing... they will not clear. I cleared the data in the android market, I uninstalled the latest market update, I rebooted the phone and I took out the battery and the downloads remain in my notifications and the apps are not updated.

Any help would be appreciated.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spumpco:
Could you solve the problem? I am in the exact same situation and did the same things that you did and nothing happened, I also have an Xperia X10
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notuo:
This happened yesterday to me as well. The thing is market kind of crashed and after I click the update again crashed again and the queue added again (duplicating the files to be updated), and again... every time I did this the queue add the files.

This cannot be done in the usual way because the download goes to the queue.

I turned off, take out the battery, uninstall all the market updates, clear the cache, but no result at all.

EDIT>>> Also this happens automatically after the wifi starts (I don't have data plan and I manually turn on the wifi)

Can you give more instructions? I don't follow. Sorry. BTW. my phone is not rooted.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notuo:
I did some more reseach on this and is not solved but I hope I got more info to share.

Today I went to pc companion (Is this SEUS?) and restarted my phone from there. At the end I got firmware 2.0.A.0.504

I just went to wifi to install mybackup and try to restore my phone but again, was useless.

I chat with SE in USA and the agent was puzzled as we are and his recommendation was to take the phone to SE service.

Then I wen to manage applications and started to review all of them and found that "download manager" (Version 7) is the one is keeping the download forever. I guess this is the culprit of all. When I "clear data" the notification disappear.

That's all for now.

BTW: more research show this is happening to all brnads, so this a google issue. Wen there and I found they know about it. Please add your report here:

my mom had the same thing going on, it seems that there's a problem with the market, apps won't download on older versions, i had to flash a custom cyanogenmod on her phone and problems disappeared

in short: older versions doesn't seem to work at all now
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notuo:
Thanks for the idea but unfortunately didn't worked for me. I got the same issue with the mobile network.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
So these issues are getting more frequent. Today I had to pull the battery twice. One time, the phone froze with the screen on. Just now, the network dropped out and when I went to restart it, it never restarted. Went to a lit black screen with the soft keys lit up.

What is going on here? Could these be caused by rooting?

I am running stock ROM, ADW EX, S-OFF, Alpharev version of CWM. Could setCPU be causing these issues? I think I will freeze it for a few days and see how things go....

Please help!

Matt
[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
It's most likely setcpu, rooting and s-offing the phone wouldn't cause issues like that.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Okay, I froze it using Titanium Backup. Any chance this is something that could be fixed at a later time? I like the idea of being able to overclock and underclock. :-)

I know everyone is loving cyanogen. Is CM7 to have overclocking, similar to setCPU?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Lootes:
Overclocking is done by the kernel and not the ROM. If you haven't installed a custom kernel yet, than having SetCPU on your phone isn't doing much for you. CM7 has introduced their own built in way to set your CPU clock speed although you will still need a separate custom kernel to get any kind of overclock. Be patient, development only really kicked off recentlybwhen we got S Off.
[HTC Sensation] zhimingmo:
So I've fully discharged my phone following the instruction given by a battery calibration app. But now the phone won't even turn on and I can't even recharge it. I tried to pull the battery out and put it back in, and then plug in the cable and turn on the phone, but hell no, the phone gave only 8 short blinks and 3 long blinks from the amber colored led and went dead.

I don't know if this is related to MDJ's unity V5 beta kernel, but my phone is unwilling to recharge while it's off. Can somebody help please?
[HTC Sensation] zhimingmo:
Btw, I can't even boot into bootloader by holding vol down after pressing power button.
[HTC Sensation] mipepim:
Charge your battery min.3.6v on external charger or another phone and then put it back.
[HTC Sensation] zhimingmo:
lol found a solution, a badass one too:
[HTC Sensation] bqd37340:
and if we're not feeling so badass?

I don't wanna go messing with my USB cable, but I'm in the same boat as the OP. When I plug in to wall or computer, there are 9 dim orange short flashes on the notification light, about 1 per sec, and then two longer flashes, and brighter too, then nothing. Any other suggestions that are maybe a little less bad-ass and a lot more usable?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! :)

Is there any other way to get into recovery while the phone is off without using the power button? My power button and volume rocker do not work so I am looking for a way to get into recovery/bootloader on boot after inserting the battery.

Thanks guys
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Not that I know of. If you were able to power the phone on, you can try this afterwards: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=796679&page=26

The crucial step would be to get your phone on, from there it shouldn't be that hard to get it to work.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mervant:
My problem is the phone wont boot fully. Thats the reason why I cant just turn on debugging and use adb for example. My plan is to get into recovery so I can wipe it and hopefully it will fix this issue but I'm worried without the power/vol I might be out of luck. Hopefully someone might know if theres any other way. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
Hey all, I just bought the galaxy tab 10.1 in korea (model no: shw-m380s). Unfortunately I have a mac, and I can find no way to sync it! Is there any other way to sync it with my mac? (yes I do know that it uses the MTP protocol, found mainly on windows computers)

when I tried the latest samsung kies (_33 I think) it told me that my device was not supported? sigh... if it doesn't work, it's a lot of money gone to waste. I'm on a contract so it's not like I can just take it back.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danstek:
Check the korean samsung support page. It should have the proper Kies version for your tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danstek:
Perhaps you can try this link: http://www.samsung.com/kies

I believe it should redirect you to the correct website that corresponds to your country.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipson626:
On contract eh? Guessing you're on SKT becuase of the model number. Funny, they wouldn't give me one on contract and maintain a phone line at the same time =/

I've got the wifi and windows, so not too much help there, but here's the site you can use to download Kies

kr.samsungmobile.com/

I'm not sure if they only offer the .exe for it (seeing as how most of Korea runs on Windows and IE). If not, just get it from here:

samsung.com/uk/support/mobilesoftwaremanual/mobilesoftwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL

Can't make links yet so just copy and paste those.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
hey! thanks. I'm downloading them as I type, hoping that they work ;)

I actually have a phone (finished contract a couple months ago) and the tab w/ 3g at the same time... weird they wouldn't let you do it.. I just got it this past friday. why is the korean g-marketplace so closed down? it's annoying me very much. anyways, sorry for the rant. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the kies updates.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eungholee2:
ok well the update did not work. apparently the version of Kies that I got online doesn't support osx lion :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
Now that we have s-off and root, is a solution yet to get the phone and dialer to work on the View?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] contradude:
I'll look into it. Have you tried clubtech's patch?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
No I haven't tried it. I will try it tomorrow before I flash my rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] T120ted:
Let us know if you get it running. I'm interested in this too. Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
It may turn out that you will not be able to use your present SIM card as with some dongles, the carrier may only allow data (no voice calls) through it. Test the SIM in a standard phone for calls.

It'll be interesting to see if another carrier's SIM works in it also.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] T120ted:
There is no sim in the view. I'm not aware of any sprint device with a sim card.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
Yes the sprint phones do not use a sim card. I added the lines to my build.prop file that are listed in the clubtech hack. Although the line

ro.phone.function=1

Was already there. I was able to place a call. The person could hear me and I could hear them although the volume was kind of low. I have not tested it with a bluetooth headset yet. Also keep in mind that I don't know but I believe any calls you make will count as data on your tablet data plan.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] contradude:
My concern was with upsetting sprint... you have your view on a regular view plan and not a phone plan right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
Ah, OK, not actually seen one physically.

It must be a surface mount pre-programmed version locked to Sprint.. I can foresee difficulty in getting the phone to work then if it is set to data only on the network.

Edit: Just seen his success...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m4rk0358:
I'll be following this thread closely as I am on the fence for picking up a Sprint View. If phone calls are somehow enabled on this device then I will most likely pick one up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
As far as upsetting Sprint, that is the question mark. As far as I know they do not offer phone plans for the view, only data plans.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
You will probably find calls suddenly being blocked at the network then once they find out users are able to make them. They will not give anything for free! :o
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
If you want to use the view to regularly make calls, I would advice looking for the thread that tells you how to do this using a market app groove ip and gtalk and gvoice. That is your best bet. While using the view as a phone is possible, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. This means if you use it and sprint blocks your account don't blame xda nor the members here.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] T120ted:
I'm just interested in getting rid of groove ip. I would rather have a phone function than another app running in the background. I actually went from a phone plan to straight tablet plan with groove ip. I only need phone functionality incase the school needs to call me about my kids.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
With all of the files on the the tablet but hidden and the fact that the only thing needed to enable the phone was a couple of lines in the build.prop makes me wonder if maybe sprint had looked at possible phone plans. Then either decided against or possible a future offering.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] T120ted:
This is what I thought, too. I think they left it out until they could come up with a good game plan for it. It's inevitable that tablets will be phones as well. The asus memo is going to help usher it in. I'm just not an att fan and that's more than likely where that one is going to hit.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
I don't know, I think there is more to it than that, or HTC would have enabled phone calls on the WWE Flyer for all others to use.

I still think HTC had some problem gaining approval with this design from Google for GB and had to leave out the phone function.

Why else disable fitted hardware when it would be a bigger selling point if working? It makes no sense!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
For the time being I'm using nettalk. I had to install it on my evo first then copy and send the apk to my view via dropbox. Once it was installed I was able to make "data" calls with my view with no bt headset...mic and speakers worked just fine. This was done before clubtech posted his patch.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] VonLaserface:
So has anyone been able to get the phone function working with clubtech's work around?

I've done exactly what he advised, added those lines to my build.prop and even added unlimited mobile to mobile minutes to my tablet plan (yes it exists, I work at a Sprint store and added it myself) but I'm not able to dial out or receive incoming. The phone service doesn't run, ever, even when trying dial out a call.

I know the GVoice method works but I'd really like to be able to open this up without having to use extra apps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaveh-link:
yes theres a way. I did that on my HTC FLYER 3G. I created a full detailed document on how to do that on HTC FLYER but I used some sources on xda developer forum in order to do that. Here is the document I created, the sources with links are available at the very end of the pdf file. (one of the sources is for evo view)

sorry about that... forgot something there... here you go I uploaded everything.. changed all the links in the doc too... see if this link works!

http://bit.ly/qR1OmO

see if the original sources in the pdf help... if not let me know and Ill do some research on that..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] VonLaserface:
Thanks again, I'll take a look at it when I get home, the link just hangs when contacting the server from where I am now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaveh-link:
hmm if u click on the link it will take u to a page where theres a download link... damn I really suck at uploading and stuff..

but double check that anyway.. let me know if that didnt work either..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] contradude:
The clubtech fixes work for sure on the flyer, you just have to apply them and then make calls through the contacts app. my view will connect to sprint, which just lets me know I don't have phone service on this device. I have used SIPdroid as a workaround but I will keep working on finding out if i can get built in SIP to work on the view.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] VonLaserface:
I did more digging around and found out that all incoming and outgoing calls are blocked by Sprint, network side. The data plans for the View have two built in system codes (BAOC and BAIC) that cannot be removed like a normal block.

Being as the blocks are actually built into the plan itself I'm not sure if they can be removed.

I'm still digging around to see if either A) These codes can be removed or B) The tablet itself can be activated on a data plan meant for phones. I'm fairly certain the latter is possible, it's just a matter of getting the right tech on the phone, with the proper access, to do it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] contradude:
Please keep us up to date on this :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sdge:
This is very doable. I did it on my view using clubtech's workaround. The phone app is a little... unpolished, but for the most part works.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Joesmoe2010:
I don't get it....

I've been making and receiving calls ever since I got my EVO View. In fact... the last week, I haven't even taken my own personal phone with me when I leave the house. I use Google Voice integration with Sprint #, forward all calls to Gtalk (so that the tablet will ring on incoming) and use Groove IP. It works with my bluetooth and i've adjusted my audio settings and now there is no echo and minimal lag. You guys are way smarter than me.... but I'm not sure why you're looking to build a feature when there is one that already exists. BTW... I'm making/receiving calls over 3G/4G and voice calls are processed as data. I can also make it over wi-fi, but I love the fact that I don't have to be tied to a hotspot (I even sent back my mi-fi).
