[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
Right, and from my understanding, when you use just regular google voice, you're still using your minutes. I still get disconnected from calls because I have horrible reception and service out here, but using the GrooVe IP app, I'm able to pull my back off and make it say I'm completely out of service and I can make a call using the wifi.

As far as what you stated about routing it to your phone number deaf, the app tells you to deselect your phone number and to select your google chat identity which is supposed to solve the issue of it dialing through to your phone when you receive a call. It just forwards it to the google chat and the app is sort of like a mediator between google chat and your phone, and the internet recognizes it as a google chat session. At least that's the way I understood it. I'm probably completely wrong because I'm just getting this app, but I'm doing more research. I thought it went through SIP because there are options in the troubleshooting thing in the app to override the STUN server which is based off of a sipgate address.

Edit: I was just thinking of this. You said it's not working right or w/e for when incoming calls come in. Have you completely logged out of google chat online and on your phone? If you're logged into GC from anything else other than the app, it will inadvertently try to call that device. So let's say your PC is logged into GC. I call your number and the app tries to forward it to the account, but GC picks up the call before your phone can and interferes with how the app is supposed to work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lagos3sgte:
You CAN make and RECEIVE calls with this app. All you have to do is setup a google voice phone number. Then from the google voice website, you route all incoming calls to go to your google chat, not your cell phone number. Then call your google voice number and it will ring on your phone through grooveip.

For all you guys using this, what settings have you used with this app? I found that I get choppy or laggy voice that makes this app difficult to use. I think it has to do in part to how our phone manages wifi power and sleep. Any tips or tweaks that you guys have found to work best?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] deaffob:
@ digital You were right. I didn't know that I had to check that option which it reroutes to gmail chat. I however checked both phone and Gchat so I don't know if I'd be getting both at the same time or not. :X
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fusion.Coil:
Sooooo, google voice does not use wifi? I am still confused.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
Go into your troubleshooting and check off to always keep your screen on. If your screen turns off, it messes with the audio for some reason. As soon as I make a call, I quickly hit my power button twice so that it goes to the lockscreen so that I don't have to worry about accidentally dialing someone else or starting an app
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
lol, no problem man. I was thinking of doing that but was afraid what you were experiencing would happen to me. Glad to have helped you out buddy.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
The standard Google Voice by itself does not. What it does is just act as a go-between for your number and your GV number. Essentially all it is, is just a dummy number that people can use to call you without actually calling your actual phone number. Using this app I suggested, the number being called when someone calls your GV number is actually being caught by Google Chat and this program is the mediator between your phone and GC, thus meaning that you're using 100% data and nothing else.

Sorry for the triple post, lol. I just figured out how to use multi-quote the right way haha. I've been using these boards for almost a month now and I JUST now figured it out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fusion.Coil:
I get it now... Thanks people.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drewcam888:
Anyone know of any free alternatives?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
Currently there are none that I know of that don't involve intensive setting up, such as having multiple accounts to log into, setting up multiple forwarding numbers, etc. You can try getting the APK from apktop (google apktop groove ip 1.2.9 and it's the first link) and seeing if it works, but I'm not sure if it requires cracking to be able to use. This way is probably the simplest and 100% foolproof way. The only thing I dislike about this app is that my screen has to stay on to use this app or else I have severe issues of the sound cutting in and out, so I just press home and then my power button twice to get to the lockscreen so that i don't have any apps starting up unwanted. Personally I think it's well worth the $3.99, but then again, I've started supporting all the devs of the apps I really like. It was stated on facebook, by him, that he offers an extended refund period for those people unhappy with his app. How much longer? No idea. But it is guaranteed that you can try this app for 24 hours and if you don't like it you can always get a refund from the market.

Hello,

Since a while ( 4.0.1.A.0.283 ? ) I have regular (every x minutes ) GPS signal drop off !!!

It happens in the 4 GPS programs I have !

Anyone ?

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
Well, cool, I´m the only one to get this issue :(

For info, I ran GPS Test during a 1 hour journey, and no signal loss :rolleyes:. Always 5 to 8 satellites in view.

So I assume my problem is software related !??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingro:
Have you tried a software reset or a repair via PC companion?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
No, mine is unlocked and rooted.

It seems that Primo is not affected by this behaviour, but Navigon, Aura & Copilot are losing GPS signal.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
Bingo, I re-formatted my SD Card ( 64 k cluster ), now everything works fine :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
Thanks, for sure, the link between the problem and its resolution is not obvious :rolleyes:

I cannot use GPS when I apply 1% battery problem fix
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
The problem is still there

Well :( this morning the problem went back :o

I really do not understand what can cause this issue ...

@danielnghk what is this fix ? ( eventhough I didn´use it )
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
I still have this issue of GPS loosing signal every 5 minutes !:mad: ( it´s precise ... )

Anyone :confused: ... cause it makes my Arc useless ...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harfot:
Have you installed any apps that is using the GPS that might have influence on the use.

Any way, you can try disabling the GPS in each app onen by one to see if there is a guilty one.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
I got Tasker & AutomateIt that could use the GPS.

I already tried by uninstalling them, and that´s not changing anything :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3mm:
You said in earlier post you re-formatted your card and the problem was resolved.

Just wondering if you have tried this again, altho it does seem strange that this would fix the problem. Perhaps it is a corrupt file on your card that is causing issues
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
After formatting, the problem was gone ... but came back quickly.

I also re-formatted 2 times the card, with different cluster size, and i didn´t change anything.

I also wiped the cache in recovery mode, but it did not helped.

What´s weird, yesterday morning, it was ok for my travel to work ! But at return, same issue, drop every 5 minutes ...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jojo100:
GPS signal loss every 5 minutes, high DOP

Hello ChefChaudart

you are not the only one.

I know 4 people meanwhile and i suspect, that the most people do not recognize, that they have a problem.

My threads on this:

talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/25770?tstart=0 => Sony started an escalation ticket, 4 people with Sony phones affected

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=21376 => no reaction

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20707 => maybe same problem, not Sony phones.

Summary:

1. After a certain active time of the phone (1h-4h) in each program which uses GPS every five minutes the phone tries to get contact to the AGPS server and the following error occurs.

10-31 13:46:20.757 D/lib_locapi( 238): loc_eng_agps_data_conn_failed

During this time (30sec) no GPS signal is available. The DOP is very high.

2. If the phone is in flight mode, the problem disappears. Again active, the problem is present again.

After reboot no problem, but after 1h-4h on time the problem occurs again.

3. The problem occurs since update to 2.3.3 and also in 2.3.4.

4. Every GPS program is affected. RunGPS, Navigon, Google Maps. Independend from each other.

5. Other Sony phones (Arc) from other users have the same problem since the newer updates.

6. Even after hard reset right from the beginning the problem exists. So it has nothing to do with other installed programs.

7. Meanwhile I rooted my phone to find the problem. After changing the Gps.conf and entering supl in the network APN configuration, the phone connects to the NTP server (error ... loc_eng_agps_data_conn_failed... does not appear), and the GPS loss is shorter and the DOP is not so high (around 15 instead of 23). Nevertheless during the connection the GPS signal is gone.

@XDA-developers: Do you have an idea, what it is?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
"Nice" I´m not alone !

Meanwhile I get my my old external BT gps, and with this one, no issue !
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
corrected !

Well, good news :)

After having confirmed this problem, which many (all of us ? ) have, Sony has corrected the issue.

Now, the fix will be deliver in an upcoming update !!!:D

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyriver:
I have the same problem: I use a GPS app for tracking my jogging (Endomondo) and when I have a longer run or my gps is ON for more than a couple of hours, the gps signal drops and doesn't get a fix unless I reboot the phone.

I have the data connection OFF by default. I think that if the data connection is ON or the phone is in flight mode, this problem doesn't happen. When I use the Navigator while driving, with the data connection ON, I can use the gps for long periods without problems.

In normal circumstances, I get gps fix really fast and stable.

I have the latest official software from Sony (ICS 4.0.4).

Can you please help?

Thanks!

I flashed 1.2.2 rom first than I flashed bcblend kernel. Rebooted everything seems to work fine except I do a quadrant benchmark test and im getting low scores. When I go in set cpu and oc to 1.7 max .8 min i get high benchmark scores like I had with stock kernel. Anybody know whats happening? I unocked htcdev method. Hboot 1.5 with s-on
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Are these low benchmark scores reflecting actual performance? If not, then don't care too much about it.

Are you using SetCPU, or a daemon?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jabawockee:
I'm using setcpu. No performance is superfast...It's like my phone smoked crystal meth, no matter what I set the CPU speed to. Regardless I'm getting low bench scores. But I'm gonna take your advice and not care about it. I was just wondering if that was normal for a custom ROM and kernel combo.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Try setting the min freq as the same as max. Then select the performance governor, and run a bench. See what that does.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jabawockee:
Okay, I set it at 1.6 ghz min and max on demand. Then I ran the antutu bench test. My score barely passed the galaxy s2. Is that normal? Performance wise its real fast though so i dunno if I should be concerned???
[HTC EVO 3D] rugedraw:
Absolutely no need for concern. Benchmark scores are terribly overrated. if the phone feels fast, then ride with it.

Hi, is there a feature on the Play or app on the market where I can send a text to a group of people, instead of texting to a single person/a few people with the Plays built in text feature. It takes too long sending the same text individually. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roshi69:
are you on android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?

I found the same problem verrrry frustrating on 2.3.3 because you had to singly select a contact to text (with stock sms app) but with 2.3.4 when you go to send a message, all you contacts have a tick beside them so you can select as many as you like. so it works fine on 2.3.4.

If your on 2.3.3 and dont want to upgrade to 2.3.4 you can download a different sms app to solve the problem easily. Go SMS or Hancent are 2 good apps for it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakpuddin:

i don't know but GO SMS works really fine for me.. i don't have slow downs on my phone ever since.. i usually have 200-230MB of RAM available with GO SMS "persistently" running on background. besides, isn't it that linux manages RAM differently than windows in that it pools memory for easier app access? either way, i don't have problems with GO SMS really..of all i've tried, it's the best--battery-wise, RAM-wise, overall performance-wise..;)

Someone knows if we can edit framework-res.apk and flash it? How can we (the people who have the german version) use the recovery?

EDIT: I've installed Bootstrapp from here and now I can acces to recovery mode (ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.8).

Can I edit the framework-res.apk with UOT kitchen and flash the .zip file with the recovery mode?

EDIT2: I've edited my framework-res.apk with Photoshop and I've made this icons for the battery:

I've used Ninjamorph (available on Market) and it changed all the originals icons automatically. This app is awesome! I don't need to flash any .zip file with recovery and it's very easy to use!

I tried to flash 2.3.5 to my galaxy s 4g and it was a bad rom so I tried to put it back the stock+root ROM using ODIN. Now whenever I turn my phone on it just keeps rebootiing I have been trying to get it fixed but whatever I do it just seems to keep rebooting. Sorry if there is a fix and I didnt see it but its late and im very stressed now that my phone isnt working.....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
What do you mean you flashed a bad ROM? Can you be more specific?

Try doing a battery pull and reflashing it in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
yea, just follow the NOOBS GUIDE TO ODIN in the BIBLE. from there, you should be fine. instead of using KB5, i would recommend using Raver's KC1 (search for it). that will give you a fresh start.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] onlyonthursday:
Sorry I was really tired and stressed out last night but I got it to work finally. I just put 2.3.4 on it and it worked right away. I do have another question though. This is the first time I have ever actually flashed a ROM on my phone. Is there a way to get all the apps back that were on my SD card or do I have to re-download all of them? Also if I have to re-download all the apps is there a way I can get my saves back for the game?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mizun0h:
I maybe be wrong. But your apps are saved on your phone. some off the data from these apps might be saved on your sd card, and some may not. In the future, prior to flashing a rom, in stall a program called titanium backup from the market. It will backup all your apps and data in one click to your sd card. then once u flash a new rom install TB first and restore those apps. they will all have there log ins, games will be where u left them, ect.

But for now, yes u have to use the market to restore the apps one by one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] onlyonthursday:
I figured I would. I will see if I can look through the files and get any save files. Is it ok to re-format my SD card after saving every thing i need? Just so I can start off fresh?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you can back everything up by making a nandroid backup.

go into cwm, backup and restore and select backup. then when you want to restore after flashing a rom, go to backup and restore, then go to advanced and then restore data. that should do it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] onlyonthursday:
This is only to help me before I flash right? I'm kinda screwed as of right now and have to start from scratch. No big deal to me really just means I lost all my saved games. Is it ok to re-format my SD card right now?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
if you reformat, you will lose everything on the sd...so its up to you. after you've flashed the rom, you can take it out and reformat and the rom will run fine, if that is what you mean.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] onlyonthursday:
Ya i know I will lose everything. I already backed up everything. But I have one problem. My phone won't let me click on re-format for the SD card. Should I use my comp to re-format it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
make sure you unmount it first. or you can boot into cwm and format the sd
