[Motorola Droid Bionic] LadyRelm2:
new custom kernel

I am also aggravated that I can't get an app which will record calls on my bionic. I live in a one-party state, so it is legal for me to record my coversations....discreetly or otherwise. Like the others, I find myself in a situation where I really need this functionality. Does anyone have an ETA on when this will be made available? Will I need to buy a new phone because it will require a hardware fix? Or can it be fixed with an OS update?

I realize the actual "fix" is probably not available yet....but it seems like some of you might be on the down-low with why it doesnt' work and what it will take to fix it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cbal04:
I believe its a software fix/modification. Something would have to be put in place to actually make you not be able to record. Hopefully one of the roms will allow this to happen.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ElementalWindX:
I could really use this. My lawyer is telling me I need this for the situation I'm in. My evo 4g from sprint was able to do it with the stock app just fine. Wish this phone was the same way :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skatastic:
If this is right then it won't happen until the bootloader is unlocked which according to some posts that I've read won't be for a year plus.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cbal04:
Yay!! Anyone know if the Samsung Charge/Stratosphere or any of the other 4G phones record calls? If they do, I may be switching. For all that I do with my bionic, recording phone calls reigns precidence over dual core and webtop, not to mention a glitchy phone in general.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cbalde04:
Turns out, the Stratosphere works with Total Recall. I'll try the Samsung Droid Charge and see. I may end up getting it instead.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ElementalWindX:
I wish someone would update this :( Really need call recording to work on my phone...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sjamie:
Yes, agreed!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dirtyfingers:
You need a custom kernel that supports this feature, which motorolas do not. So until the bootloader gets unlocked or somebody figures a way around that it is more than likely not going to happen.

Hi,

i have FlyHoney ROM v0.2 running on my HTC flyer and I´m wondering if I somehow can use the Sip-Telephony-Feature as in GB? Could not find it in the Settings Menu...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Lucas0511:
I dont even know that feature in Gingerbread but I use CSipSimple http://code.google.com/p/csipsimple/ for getting Google Voice SIP calls on the Flyer-HC in Europe (via IPKall and Callcentric).

Just found a working method to root 2.3.3. Worked on my phone :)

http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/
[Droid Pro General] stupidchicken03:
How long have you been running it?

I might try it out later today. And it looks like the same user created some scripts to remove bloatware as well :)
[Droid Pro General] Khachikyan:
around 5 minutes with 3 restarts, everything is auto. just connect the phone and hit appropriate key on PC.

after it you can install root uninstaller and remove all bloatware yourself :)

why cm7 source are missing.

@genokolar, is there a problem?

reminding: gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bener7:
i noticed now. there is no rom with source code! oxygen, miui or cm7. how we can trust these ROMs?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
Nobody forces anyone to use any custom ROM, if the ROMS have problems or don't behave as they should, someone would find out (and people post comments every day in the dev section), our devices can be equipped with firewalls, loggers etc so that we can check what happens/happened to our phones during the day.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Oxygen source is available, check the post in dzos thread
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tommixoft:
cm7 source is in their website, Geno just made port. you can get u8800 device and vendor from other source that are in geno git. if i found - you can too :) it just very complicated
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bener7:
thanks for all replies.

i now no body force us, but what i want is a situation that should be already.

good news. but u8800-cm7 not an "official" cm7 port, it should has differences.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Android isn't GPL, it's Apache Software License 2.0. You don't have to make the code available for others and you are allowed to use code but not publish the changes.

So as nice as it would be for Genokolar to share the code, he doesn't have to.

at the end he must hear me.

you are did the right thing.

[HTC Desire S] Aqua3:
Hey there!

Today is my first day running with miui 1.9.30 on my desire s.

I switched from VoidU 1.1a just to try some new stuff.

Everything is working fine, but when trying to download apps from the store, it's just not working.

It says "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress is stuck at "Starting Download".

In the "My Apps" menu, the download is listed, but also stuck on starting.

Wasn't able to find a solution to this problem so far.

I tried wiping cache / market data / google apps data.

Some people said it's related to google talk. So i have overwritten it with a different version, still no progress.

All other downloads are working fine. I can download from the internet and through the MIUI theme manager.

The Appstore even calls me when i have new updates.

Google Sync also syncs without problems

Does anyone have / had similar issues?

Aqua

PS: Yes i have looked in the Download App.

I am using a WPA secured WiFi connection.
[HTC Desire S] Jan_Joris:
When that happened to my GF the problem was that the language set for her Google account wasn't the same as the language on her phone. Switching that fixed it.
[HTC Desire S] pb12551:
Today exactly the same thing happened also to me.

When trying to download apps from the market, it said "Starting Download...", the page reloads but progress was stuck at "Starting Download".

Yesterday everything was fine.

I tried now to switch from 3G to Wireless, and downlaoding apps.

This seemed to help, now downloading apps worked.

Then i switched back to 3G, and downloading apps from the market still works.

So the problem seems to be solved now.

Perhaps it was a temporary general problem of the market, or switching from 3G to wireless (and then switching back) helped.
[HTC Desire S] Aqua3:
Solved it!

Solution was as stupid as the problem itself.

Our wifi network got upgraded the last week.

As a side effect, some ports got locked again.

And yep, the market port was one of them.

Tried at a different wifi location and the downloaded worked fine again :)
[HTC Desire S] fdebef:
This needn't to be the problem. I had the same with Voidu and Virtuous. The solution was either to change language (but worked only for couple of minutes) or uninstall update of Market to 3.1.5 (then you have to delete marketupdater.apk, otherwise it installs the update again).

Hello. I folloe the instructions from gingerxperia v8 topic on how to install timescape but it doesn't work. I tried again and again and nothing.. any help? Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqyaq:
Have you try full wipe then install gingerxperia v8 then install timescape then full wipe?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper001:
If you look at the instructions, there is line you have to add to the build.prop.

Install GXV8 then the timescape update, then after boot add the line indicated in the instructions and reboot.

Timescape is added as a widget.:D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E1730812:
Before this I have a same problem too with GingerXperiaV8.

My solution:

First step:

Extact all folder in timescape.zip (META & system folder)

copy 'system folder' only to sd card.

Second step:

open root explore, copy every file in sdcard>system>app/etc/framework.

paste into system>app/etc/framewor

make permission for all file rw-r-r.

Third step:

open built.prop with text editor (system>built.prop)

enter this line - ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia

save built.prop

reboot ur device.

hope this one can help ur. its work for me. :)

[Atrix 4G General] Paschalis:
I made a thread about it, before a couple of days, and nobody answer!

It is too annoying. You cant even check other stuff on logcat.

And may affects battery life..

What causes that thing?

And how much code is running each time this log is printed? :confused::confused:

hehe.. +1 ..

i was trying to debug an apk i was creating, and i had to put \n\n\n\n before and after each log i was printing, to make my logs focusable, on that mess..

And that problem is on Gingerbread.

I dont know if it is from the OS by itself, or its the custom kernel i use..

On froyo, logcat was very very clear..

I hope CM7 is okay.. Can a user of it confirm it?

[Streak 5 General] Dunhamzzz:
Pictures of the new Dell Streak Pro can be found here: http://www.waleg.com/techgadgets/archives/024414.html

If you ask me, it looks too far from the current Dell Streaks that it shouldn't be called a "Streak" at all. It just looks like a phone where as the Streak is known for having a portrait tablet-esque slim form factor.

Dell did the same with their netbooks, made a unique, ground breaking first model, then after that all the other models just conformed to what other manus products looked/felt like.
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Dunhamzzz, thanks for that informative article! So THATS what Mikey Dell's been up to! Redesigning the Streak altogether and what a mess as far as physical body. WHY take away what we loved about the Streak like it body AND 5inches! (heh heh).. Why leave well enough alone but add the dual core, and other operational upgrades needed? I dont like the new model regardless of its internal upgrades
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
What would be the definition of being in it's family? Similar hardware, software?

Externally body:

The Streak 5 is externally similar to the Streak 7

The Streak 7 is externally similar to the Streak 10.

The Streak 5 and Streak 10 are not too similar looking when compared to eachother.

The Streak pro does not resemble any other device closely beyond the camera/led lozenge.

It's backing material/texture MAY resemble the Streak 7's, I have not had much hands on time with the 7

The venue does not resemble the others in any way

Hardware specs:

The Streak 5 is a 1st gen snapdragon

The Streak 7 is a Tegra2

The Streak 10 is a Tegra2

The Streak pro is a 3rd gen snapdragon

The venue is a 1st gen snapdragon

Manufacturers:

The S5 and S7 and venue manufactured by qisda

the s10 is manufactured by pegatron

The streak pro is unknown,

Software:

All 5 devices share StageUI

The S5, S7, venue all share the same codebase.

The S10 only shares a small amount of code beyond StageUI.

Do I consider them all a family? Yes. They all share too much in common.

If you want to nitpick then you might as well say the S5 and S7 are not even in the same family. They're physically not too similar beyond the tapered bumpers. Their softbuttons arnt similar, the S7 and Venue use the same soft button icons.

The S10 is a generic looking 10.1" tab from the front, and aluminium backed in the back.

I believe the Spro and the S7 share the same texturing for their backs, but I'm not 100% sure.

The S5 is also a snapdragon and S7 is a tegra2, they're about as different as you can get.

NONE of the dell devices are part of a single uniform design unless you count the venue/venue pro.

Ultimately my criteria is if it contains StageUI. Even if dell doesnt mention the venue as being in the streak family it's virtually hardware and software identical to the S5. The venue is literally a Streak 4.1 +AMOLED.

From a logical standpoint the Spro would be more properly labeled a Venue2 or something (as the venue pro is a wp7 device)

But keep this in mind, the venue has no strength behind it's name unlike the streak (though the streak isnt exactly well known either) it's likely marketing. Creating a 3rd brand isnt gonna help much either.
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Nonodys nickpicking. The poster said that the new "Dell streak pro" looks nothing like the dell dtreak 5 . The 5 inch screen is smaller and the body uniqueness all but dissapeared.

How do I know the poster of this string is referring to the streak 5 as "family comparison"? Because neither the 7 or 10 made phone calls. I agree with the original poster. Despite all of its upgraded internal features, the streak is changed on other ways that made it different "from other phones"...shedding its tablet feature for sure.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
That wasnt targeting you or anyone, it's all directed to the hypotheical reader.

The most likely reason it's named a streak is for the strength of the brand, ie starting with something > starting all over
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
You know what? You are absolutely correct. I didnt think of it that way , as starting anew with the brand name.

I totally am.sorry if it sounded offensive, wasnt meant that way
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Sorry, screen is too small. 4.3"? I looked at a Samsung SG2 Sunday, and although the screen is BRIGHT, giving up the extra .7" would be hard to do.

Resolution isn't what it should be either.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
I gyess Dell has decided to stop trying to innovate, and just focus on products that look identical to everything else out there (7 inch tab, 10 inch tab, Dell streak Pro).

Maybe if the SG Note is successful, Dell will make another 5" tablet/phone.
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Lets hope so, Slaydog, let's hope so
[Streak 5 General] drsuicide:
It's a total mistake. 5" Display is the best with awesome performance.

That's what makes Dell Streak 5 is the unique one.

4'3" is a total mistake.

I hate Michael Dell when he shut down Streak unit back there.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] scheatyj:
Unleashed, unl3ashed. how ever you spell it. 1.4

Normal use for me tho, is the phone sitting idle in my pocket a lot cause of class and what not.

I'll send out probably between 100-200 texts, talk for 10-15 total minutes, maybe do a web search or two.

Battery profile set to turn data off after 15 minutes of inactivity, background data off. Screen brightness all the way down.

Like I said before in another thread, you could turn CPU scaling to ondemand and that, from my experience, saves a little juice, but has random restarts. You could also try leaving it on the stock mot_hotplug, and turn the max freq down and see if that helps.

I'm on 4g half the day, 3g the other half (when the radio is on of coarse).

Gotta recalibrate the battery too if you haven't done that. I've done both the app, and the manual way in CWM, both work fine, per long as you do it with the phone at 100% plugged in, and let it completely die before you charge it again.

If you can't calibrate it yourself, best to just let the thing die, charge it to 100%, and let it die again.
