Wait, carriers are dictating which apps can update and when ? Wow
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
My understanding is that T-Mobile has a special deal with Slacker for their version of the app, although I don't know the specifics of that deal, or how it benefits users (other than the fact that T-Mobile users got the Mango update first :().

anyone know if any of the youtube apps can run in the background? i know a YT video playing in IE won't keep playing, or at least I couldn't get it to.

Not sure off hand, I know EasyTube is working on it though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] elcapo24682:
I think it's complete bull**** that slacker has been mango updated for t-mobile but not everyone else, I emailed them about it and they said that the official version will be updated in a few weeks which is also bull**** seeing that the mango marketplace has been opened for a whole month.

How do you get it to do this? every time i try to switch to something else it stops playing.

Additionally, anyone know of a timer that works? I hate that if I want to set a timer for something then I can't use my phone for anything else.

Hello,

easyTube for Mango has been submitted to the Marketplace, but it may take several days to be verified before you can download it. To know what's new in the Mango version you can take a look at the pre-released demonstration youtube.com/watch?v=8zyHE5xHK38

Thanks for your attention!

Im trying to find where some of the built in alarm sounds are on the phone. In particular the 'Smart Alarm' sound 'light' as id like to use this also as the main alarm, however it is only visible in the menu for smart alarm and not the main alarm, and i cant find it anywhere on the phone so i can copy it somewhere else myself.

Anyone know where to look or how to get the 'smart alarm' sounds? Or someone with a rooted device have access to the file could email it or something?

Thanks :)

Guys have any of you updated to the newest version of the Spotify app v. 0.1.11.28 ever since the new update the app will not go into online mode I have tried on 3G 4G and wireless with no avail. I sent the support team an email about it and they just state that the Evo is not supported, but everything was functioning great before the update. Any ideas???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chumatha87:
I have the same issue on my HTC Hero for Sprint. I recently installed a new rom and had the same issue with spotify. I then did a clean install of my previous rom and it still had the same issue. If i nandroid back, the old app still worked. Sounds like a bugged version or else there is some sort of configuration file on the sd card that is causing issues. i haven't had any luck fixing it yet
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
Hello all.

Just bought a HTC Chacha.

I have transfered my contacts from my old phone to Chacha, but even though I have "Sync Contacts" enabled (Home->Settings->Data Sync->Google->Contacts) on the phone I don't see these contact details when I log into Gmail on my Win PC and click contacts???

I found the similar issue in this thread, and someone gave a explanation.

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-21983.html

Are there any way to fix it?

thanks
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Go to people tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to export the contacts to the SD card.

Go to people again, tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to import the contacts from the SD card, when the phone prompts you which type of contact you want to import choose “Google”.

Then sync. Now you have the phone contacts on your GMail account. :)
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
Thank you Alex.

So it does an issue of Chacha, my galaxy does not have this problem.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Actually it's not an issue of ChaCha, all Android phones work the same. I can confirm Galaxy S does the same (at least on 2.1-update1) which was my previous phone. Maybe you have already performed this on your Galaxy and forgot about it :)

On every Android phone you need to perform the steps I said above (Export contacts to SD card, Import from SD card as GMail contacts, sync).
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
Thank you Alex, I remind that I didn't import contacts from my old phone to Galaxy S.

Another guy transfer from Galaxy S to Chacha:D
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I never had to do this ever, Google contacts always sync'd fine scores all my phones...
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yes, once you have them on the GMail server. But if you never had contacts there and only on your phone then you need to perform the steps above. (These steps are provided by Samsung and HTC).
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Ah... Got you now, explains why! Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] suews:
SIM or Phone?

Thanks for the info above - I'm having the same problem. I am confused tho -

If I go in to 'People - All', this offers a relatively small list of contact names but if I go into 'People - Groups' then I can see all my labels from one of my gmail accounts which is a much larger number of contact names. Where is this 'People-All'? Is it on my SIM or the Phone or...?

ie if I want to export ONLY the contacts in 'People - All' onto my SD card, then do I need to choose to export from my 'Phone' or from my 'SIM'???

I am desperate to get this done as I want to print all these contacts off from my PC's gmail account. I'm going to be out of internet/Wifi contact for a while and I may need some of the telephone numbers urgently.

What I don't understand is how come all of the group labels I've created in 'People' now appear in my Gmail account but with only a few of the contacts. :confused:

If I've added contacts to People manually - have I added them to my SIM or my Phone or my SD...??

Thanks!!!
[Omnia 7 General] chrisnic365:
Hi all

searched for this and while some similar symptoms there doesn't seem to be anything really the same.

I bought a 16GB Omnia 7 in Seattle and I believe it's a Dutch retail item. Got back to the UK, set all the network/regian/language/etc. settings to UK and everything has been cool...except bluetooth.

The phone will not discover nor is it seen by any other bluetooth device. A colleague who bought one at the same time has the same issue.

I'm told that the way to fix this is to flash with a UK retail ROM. Is that right? or are there other fixes?

I've read the update guide and bar selecting the best ROM am happy with the process.

Current versions:

OS version: 7.0.73920

Firmware revision number: 2424.11.2.3

Hardware revision number: 3.15.0.4

Radio software version: 2424.11.2.2

Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.800

Bootloader version: 5.2.1.4

Chop SOC version: 0.36.2.0

and is there a way to force the mango update?

Bluetooth Problem after Mango Update

Well I got bored waiting for T-mobile UK to do anything so I debranded and forced the mango update.

All seems well except the phone will no longer pair with my car! (BMW)

It sees some other phones.

Any ideas? Will there be another firmware update later? Which component determines the bluetooth level? I now have firmware 2424.11.8.5

Cheers

Rob
[Omnia 7 General] juey:
Please if anyone has a fix for bluetooth enlighten us all. I have tried everything I can find that might suggest a fix but nothing.
[Omnia 7 General] chrisnic365:
Well since doing the mango upgrade the phone can now at least find other devices but it refuses to connect to anything.

Serious thinking about selling it.
[Omnia 7 General] Forzahibs:
Mine seems fine , had a text conversation with my wife while driving last wee using my old Motorola earpiece . I always switch wifi off before using bluetooth (used to have regular disconecting problems)
[Omnia 7 General] roblpm:
Oops - this was just me being a numpty!!!

For some reason deleting the phone (as added on nodo) from the car and then readding worked. Have you guys tried this??
[Omnia 7 General] 17-apg:
I had to finally send my phone (on Samsung's instructions) back to a company called Regenersis. I had bluetooth problems as well. It would connect to my Audi MMI but would not connect to my Parrot miniSlim head set. They replaced the"board" in the phone. I knew this because when I got it back there was only 8GB memory instead of 16. So, it went back again and the board replaced to a 16GB one. Bluetooth works superfast now and absolutely no problems. So you might want to contact Samsung UK and ask for it to be repaired at Regenersis.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Well I'd had no bluetooth problems until now...

Was paired with a Jabra unit in my car no problems. Updated to mango and it was working alright until tonight when it refused to connect. Spent ages trying to get it to re-pair. Had to delete the association, reboot my phone and the bluetooth device and they finally re-paired.

Seriously starting to hate this Mango update. Yeh it adds cool features but it seems to have knackered my data connection completely and now my bluetooth is playing up.

Last Samsung phone i ever buy. Had no problems with my old HTC. Can't wait for Nokia.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cablepreps:
Does anyone know how to flash my sony xperia play from verison to metro pcs???

not a noobie on GSM but CDMA is new to me, please help!:( Also, is there a free CDMA Workshop full?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
To my knowledge, you have to take it into one of the shops to have the hardware ID added to their system before you can activate it on their network. CDMA isn't as easy as GSM. I'm not entirely sure the phone services the same spectrum even if it supports the same access technology.

Secondly, I really doubt there is a free version of the full CDMA Workshop apps, how would they make their money? I could be wrong though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youtashiro:
It should be easy after you get the phone id (meid) registered with metro's system. Yo have to install QPST Build 355 or newer. To get the phone connected with, just enable debug mode, and dial ##3424 , then connect the phone to the pc with the usb cable, if you have win 7 , drivers will download automatically and you will be able to read the phone with qpst software, then just follow the guides for another android phones fladhing to metro. If you dont have win 7 you will have to look up for the drivers and install them. Whrn qpst asks for programming code, enter 000000, thats the same for all verizon phones.

I succefully flashed a Verizon's XP and now its working with calls and text for my iusacell carrier in mexico, but I just have 1x internet connection cause I cant make QPST PPP settings to stick, always revert to verizons, Im still looking for a solution for that. Hopefully someone here could help me solve it.
[Galaxy S II General] dayloon:
My galaxy s2 has just arrived in the post. It's charging. At the moment i'm too afraid to touch it in case i get a smudge on the screen or something :) My screen protector/case is arriving tomorrow.

I had the galaxy s1 last year but was so disappointed with it, I ended up selling it and buying an iphone 4. I like the feel of the S2, i was worried about it feeling cheap like the last one but i actually really like the plastic back this time. Feels nice.

So once it's charged I shall have a play and then be back on here to work out how to root it and then decide which ROM to put on.

Here was my process.

wiped everything twice. flashed gruesome wipe. flashed Rom and rebooted EVO. let phone settle for a few minutes before setting up accounts. Rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and Dalvik.

I have not had this happen on any of the MikG ROMs but 2.55. I am nor running any scripts or overclockers at this point.

Any Ideas?

[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
cool story
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
Agreed. At the time I loved my Epic but it seems like wireless companies are hell bent now on releasing new phones every 5 minutes it seems. This is funny considering most carriers look at reducing or preventing you from using it (capped data plans, touting 3D streams and Netflix sure is retarded when you can only watch so many episodes or stream so many movies a month). This has led to a large decline in support for existing devices, because why give a **** when you can just release something more powerful with upgrades software already built in that people can just buy. When I first got my Hero is was awesome, little slow but it was my first Android experience. The Epic 4G blew it out of the water, and I still love playing PSX games on it from time time, as well as Plants vs. Zombies and Cut the Rope look beautiful on the Super AMOLED screen. But when looking back, with all the hardware and software problems (GPS, keyboard, reboots, buttons) I still loved my device. Sadly, the trend has already started of shelling out half-finished products that companies can just "update".. but where do you draw the line when the product doesn't get updated? Both the carrier and the consumer lose. For me personally I've had my Epic since launch and I'm looking to trade it our for a Nexus S. Sure it doesn't have a keyboard and smaller resolution video but guess what: it's supported by Google themselves and gets updated off the bat.

Like Google said today, they are their own worst enemy. And with the shortened product cycle and lack of updates, people are foaming at the mouths for the iPhone5. And after stealing so many of Windows 7/Android "features" and calling them their own, Apple is looking at another record profit year because at the end of the day a large portion of people just want a phone that "works" and Apple supplies that kind of product. Reminds me of a nice little quote: "Evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
tl;dr: Newer phones are better than the 13 month old Epic. Also, apparently since it has a real keyboard, virtual keyboards don't work on it, for some reason.:p
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
It comes with 3 virtual keyboards (swype, samsung, and android). And unless typing here or anywhere else I would type more than 5 word I rarely use the hw keyboard.

[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Honestly, my ET4G made me start to think my Epic was old. I didn't want a new phone at all until lately. The numbers don't lie. Screenies are stock ROM, stock kernel with root. Edit..the Quadrant test is actually a low score. I can't read those tiny previews...
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I still don't think the current generation of phones is sooo much better that it's worth upgrading yet personally. The hardware has stood up to the test of time so far if we just get some official gingerbread finally, this phone will get me by just fine for another 9+ months.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:

Lol...well played sir
[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
Well, to be honest, what are you REALLY trying to do? Keep up with the Joneses?

What irks me the most is the random quirks: Unresponsive apps, random force closes, half-baked apps that feel like weekend projects, having to pull the battery on some freezes, GPS drops, video recording issues, and TOO MANY OPTIONS TO WORK WITH! I'm finding myself "working" with my phone rather than "playing" with my phone.

Now, I love this community. I'm a geek, but not a total geek. I have SFR 1.2 installed, phone unrooted, and a custom kernel running (I forget what off the top of my head). I love being able to customize my phone... but it's getting to the point to where I just want to say "SCREW IT! JUST WORK RIGHT SO I CAN USE THE DAMN THING!"

That's what Apple does right: It just WORKS. However, there are many things I will miss if I switch to an iPhone: Widgets, a bigger screen, customizing my home screen, Roam Control, Google Navigation, and Voice Search just off the top of my head.

It's weird: I have an iMac, Macbook Pro, and iPad, but I have an Android phone. I love it... but these quirks are pissing me off. I tell everyone I meet that my phone works amazingly well 95% of the time. That 5% drives me CRAZY!

But, going back to your rant about our phone being a beast of a phone like the new phones: Relax. The Epic 4G is pretty damn epic! There's no "killer" feature yet that is coming out that will make me want to get a new phone. I don't play many games on my phone. I have my iPad for that. The next killer feature is the NFC chip, which I think the iPhone 5 will have. If it does, I just might switch. I know the Google Nexus S has one, but the Nexus S is basically an Epic 4G without the keyboard. I'd wait until the next version of the Nexus comes out and compare with the iPhone 5.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, I find myself flashing every ROM and kernel that comes out because I am still trying to get my phone to the point where everything is working properly without issues. On my ET4G, I rooted it, flashed the CRT+1% battery mod and put the stock kernel back on it. I haven't flashed any of the early ROMs because I am very happy with how everything is functioning. I hope I can get my Epic to that point some day
[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
EXACTLY WHY I CHECK THE FORUMS EVERYDAY! You just made me realize why I do it. I guess I'm always looking for the bigger, better, faster method. I have to admit, I check the Android Market once or twice daily to see if there's any updated apps. I must be OCD or something. :)
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:

I feel confident that the OP is trolling and most likely owns a htc evo 3d. Im running at 1.5 ghz stable and epic screams.

Use a cache cleaner that clears SD cache. I use Cache Cleaner NG & have it run automatically every morning. I set it to use the old method in settings because it runs faster and seems to be more thorough.
