[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awicks:
I use bluetooth in my car to enable me to take / make phone calls. I also use apps such as Google Maps Navigation whilst in the car. In my current car with the bluetooth connected all phone audio is routed through the car. However, it does not cut out radio (unless it is a phone call) and I have to select a different input source.

If I am listening to music from the phone over bluetooth, I hear the voice guidance as I have the correct source selected in the car. However, normally when I am driving, I listen to the radio and so miss the voice guidance of Maps Navigation as I do not have the phone set as the audio source. Is it possible to prevent Google Maps using the bluetooth connection and routing the audio through the phone speakers instead?

Phone: Nexus One running CM7 nightly 94.

Thanks

Hi

JUST BOUGHT a new galaxy S2 in UAE

I need to access US android market to download Google voice as Its not available in UAE.

ANY Suggestions . ...

I m ready to reset to factory settings or whatever but wats the way to change default country
[Galaxy S II General] cdesai:
No need to reset

Use marketenabler
[Galaxy S II General] aloo89:
For that i need to root the phone and the phone will become out off warranty. Is there no other way?
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
No, because the information that determines your phone's country of origin is in a file that can only be edited with superuser permissions (which is why you root).

If you want to change the phone location then you 100% have to root.
[Galaxy S II General] rufy93:
Another way to change country in the market is to use a simcard from an another country.
[Galaxy S II General] aloo89:
Thanks, Whats the best way to root then? For Galaxy S2

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

So, if change the simcard of someother country and factory reset my phone, it will access market of that country??

Then once i change the simcard back to my UAE card, the original market stays??
[Galaxy S II General] rufy93:
I never needed to factory reset my phone, just insert the simcard and reboot the phone, and the market should have access to the american apps.
[Galaxy S II General] tonymy01:
Yep, I kind of had the reverse. I worked in Egypt recently, and noticed with an Egyptian sim in my older Aussie SGS1, I couldn't see *any* apps in the market, but I was still getting notifications if an update was done for any app I had installed (and could do the update for all updated apps except paid apps). When I stuck the Aussie SIM back in again, bingo, full market.
[Galaxy S II General] aloo89:
Ultimately rooted the phone and installed market access. Am able to access other markets now
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
MarketAccess is better than MarketEnabler.
[Galaxy S II General] cneal:
Slightly different problem

I came to this thread looking for ways to enable the FULL Market (books, movies) in any country. When I'm in UK my Market on my Galaxy Tab shows all content, but when I move to another country (Angola) the Market shows apps only. Should I expect Market Access or Market Enabler to help here? I've tried both, they say they are working, but I still don't get access to books and movies.
[Galaxy S II General] AShadowX:
I'm not sure, but I'm at the same situation too, except my actual market doesn't even have books or movies in the first place, and changing countries (changed it to US) doesn't seem to make it show up either.
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Just download the apk wtf
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Yes Google locked it up. Even though you can access the apps it is not possible to access the Books Music tab outside the alloted countries. It is possible if you use proxy servers that are located in UK or the US. I think there is an app on the market called market unlocker Pro which reportedly does this but I can't test this since proxies are blocked where I stay. Try it if you want.

I'm having issues doing an anything using 3g.when I go into the market I just get a no connection.i keep pressing retry and I see the 3g signal at the top start then stop.I've tried the web browser and just get the not available screen.I've tried the ## # approach and typing the msl approach and it's not helping.i toggled airplane mode on/off to reset it.seems thati have to have wifi enabled to do anything.coming from an evo, it had no problems using 3g just maybe it was slow.i really like the phone.but, if I can't do anything in 3g I'll have to go back to my evo.when I leave for work I'll see how 3g performs outside.but, indoors the 3g on this phone sucks.anyone else having issues while using 3g???

edit: I forgot to update prl,firmware,profile and restart.

but, 3g sure is slow.feels like I'm web browsing in the 90's again.wish wifi was everywhere

ok. I guess 3g is slow in some indoor locations.when I'm outside 3g is pretty fast.

Hi, I have the following error:

The device won't boot, only shows the splash screen.

I tried formatting the cache in the Recovery - this just runs and runs and never stops.

I tried factory reset - It also just runs and runs.

I tried flashing with RSD - it simply doesn't go past step 1 - clearing flash memory.

Please see the attached image.

Is the internal memory broken? Please help me!

I'm using a rooted and unlocked captivate on tmobile. My G2 has the ability to make wifi calls through a wifi app(I do get charged for the minutes). Has anyone been able to make this work on a captivate. There seems to be some discussion in the vibrant forum that this might work on 2.2, but I am using 2.3.5 (CM Nightlies)

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You should definitely ask this question in the Captivate forums, not the DZ forums.

But generally, no I don't think it works like that. The WiFi calling app as you know it on a T-mobile G2 won't work on the Captivate as far as I know considering T-mobile isn't set up to run that device with UMA (its an AT&T branded phone). I'm assuming that you wouldn't be able to just move the .apk over and be good to go. My assumption is the device wouldn't register with the network properly.

Also, FWIW, you can get a feature put on your T-mobile account to make WiFi calls not count against your plan minutes. Its free of charge. Just call and ask.

Hi all,

It is the stock XXJVS (Gingerbread) internet browser modified to open more than 4 windows and to select user-agent.

This mod works with odexed (stock) and deodexed rom then no need to deodex your rom to use it.

You can visit up to 16 different web site at the same time but you may miss memory before.

Note:

Once you reach the 8th windows, continue to press the "new button" and it will open an extra new window even thought that the counter will not display more than 8

To select your favorite user-agent or edit it, press the menu key, then "more" and "Set user-agent".

Don't forget to click the Thanks button on the page if you like this mod.

Contact me prior to include it into a mod, and keep my credit for the works.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] abes81:
hi, thanks for the app, the user agent selection works perfectly, however when i'm using the browser in the notification bar there are some icons (for example the usb connection, the wi-fi icon, the battery) that are shown in bold and I think were present when you took the image for the notification area (or something like it). Once I try to expand the notification area these icons goes away and also if I exit from the browser... is it a little bug or it's just in my phone?

thanks!

Hello,i accidently deleted all the files inside /efs while messing with root explorer.Now the /efs folder is empty.

but i had done backup (both clean and raw).(have both tar.gz and .img of mmcblk0p1)

So when i try to restore it :

1)Using Hellcat's kTool .It gives the msg "efs restored.you may want to reboot now."

but when i check in /efs folder it is still empty.And after reboot there is only 1 file named cryptprop_essiv (1 byte) in it.

using terminal emulator

a)i type

su
busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs/efs-backup.tar.gz -C /

After this all files get back in /efs,but after i reboot.same problem occurs.no imei.Only 1 file present in folder

cryptprop_essiv

b)when i try to use this method

su
busybox umount /efs
dd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 bs=4096

it says

umount:can't umount /efs:Invalid argument

and i just did a little experiment.i just copied a small random file in the efs folder.after i reboot it is gone and replaced by that cryptprop_essiv file.

even if i delete this file and reboot it comes back again.

Please any help would be appreciated.

You could try using Heimdall to flash the efs.img using download mode.

You can get Heimdall at http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

Using the command line should be as easy as when the phone is connected in download mode.

"heimdall flash --efs efs.img"

*If it is possible using Odin I don't know since I don't have Windows and have never used it.

** I have also never used the Heimdall GUI

i solved it... i extract the tar.gz file and rename the .nv_data.bak to nv_data.bin and copy to efs folder then reboot and wait for awhile all done in root explorer ...by the way i also got fix permission but i dont know whether got effect anot.

I would suggest you to forget about official 2.3 Cause they have NO interest in making it cause it's stupid to work on things that are already on sale and they have newer models..they just don't give a damn about customers or their older phones.

I think companies will soon realise that some customers will no longer purchase their tech if there is an insufficient upgrade path.

I wont be buying another Huawei soley due to the slow/lack of support for almost all models within a few months of their release.

Why would I buy a new computer if it wont be upgradable to the next OS within a few months?

A computer running early ubuntu can still easily be upgraded to the lastest no problem, most companies nowadays worry about support first and about the tech later and i'm starting to get that way about phones, dont want to constantly change tech only because the support is ****.

Sure i understand the profit motive to make people buy new phones every 6 months, but its just getting a bit ridiculous when your talking about $500 phones especially in these economic times, if they put a big sticker on the outside of the box saying 'NO SUPPORT AFTER 6 MONTHS' i'm sure they wouldnt sell as well, everytime I see a Huawei box I just imagine that sticker on the front now ;)

Let's see.

There is no stock Alarm clock app. If you want your phone to wake you up in the morning, go to the Google market.

There is no Calendar app.

The dialer sucks BIG TIME!

I was looking forward to see Gingerbread implementation of equalizer on system level but it is not included in this ROM. When I start the stock music player and play some music the equalizer is greyed out in settings menu.

I experienced reboot loop problem and had to do factory reset. Since then I avoid turning my phone off.

i just want to add my experience since upgrading to 2.3 overseas (step2 and step3).

When it works it is awesome. very good camera photos, clear even with digital zoom. Flash works good also. Screen is more responsive and so that texting is so smoother.

But that is true when it works.

When it doesn't work good (quite often) it does:

- performs random stuff on screen like i was touching the screen but it does that automaticaly

- reboots random very often

- it hangs and i have to remove the battery

asside from that i really miss that i could turn on the screen with volume buttons too, now just power button works. LAME

So this rom at this stage is not for everyday use. I am using it for 3 days and want to throw phone in a wall sometimes. Really is that annoying.
