Today I used google voice for the first time as my full time replacement. I was sitting in church and i ignored the call. no vm was left. they called again.. I picked up since it was over. they told me it took forever the vm to pick up. is there away to change the amount of rings it takes for vm to pickup? I later found out that the vm they left was in my GV inbox but i never got a notification. this isnt looking good. I really like the concept too=(.

EDIT: I'm not sure if its a bug with my Galaxy S II but testing it with my brothers cellphone (I call my phone using GV with his) the callers phone rings about 9 times before GV picks up. my phone stops ringing/vibrating in about 4-5 rings. the att vm picks up as soon as my phone stops ringing. Hardly anybody ever waits on the phone for 9-10 rings. Im a little bummed out and using atts VM for now. Unless somebody manages to suggest a fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbshah48207:
@eddies92: If you are using Google Voice as a voicemail only phone number, go to your GV webpage --> Settings --> Calls and check "Do not Disturb." This will cause GV to pick up immediately after ATT forwards the call.

If you are using GV as a regular phone number, this may not be the best idea since all calls will go straight to voicemail.

I solved my problem.. I didnt have my number "checked" in google voice and that seems to have fixed the problem. thanks alot guys for your help.

[HTC ChaCha] Bamchick:
Hello there

I am wondering if there is a way of permanently deleting pictures from the HTC cha cha.

I am having battery life issues which I have posted about in another thread and I am getting a replacement phone tomorrow. I connected the phone to the PC to save my pictures and videos to transfer to the new one, and some pictures that I have deleted or taken by accident and deleted came up on the computer screen

Some did, and some didnt. I am wondering if I have unknowingly changed a setting somewhere so that some pics did permanently delete.

Could anyone help me here I am just a tad confused, and if I choose to sell the phone on at a later date I dont want other people to be able to retrieve things I have deleted.

Thanks

Ran accross this article just now, relized you all had to read this. It appears HTC ****** up hard.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...e-numbers-gps-sms-emails-addresses-much-more/

Scary stuff.

I'm so damn tired of all companies taking the liberty to just monitor our lifes just how they like, no matter if its google, microsoft, facebook, apple or HTC. What anoyys even more is how we passivly is forced into accepting it, and just shrudd our shoulders about it. Reading this, I wish I was smart enough to strike back somehow.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
The article says "Some Sensations" I'd like to know what that means
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
Good find.
[HTC Sensation] isak888:
Try running the app...
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
errr ok this is scary though. i wanna ask what's htcLaputa.apk is?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The offending app is HtcLogger.apk and I've only seen it in the newer ROMs - I automatically removed it before this story broke as it didn't sound useful. End of the day you just have to be careful when you install new apps (e.g. direct from trusted sources)

I really wouldn't worry too much about it, typical media hype
[HTC Sensation] isak888:
This is the example of how we/some of us just go used to this kind of things and started to accept things we never would have a few years back.

How exactly do you determine whats a trusted source? Obviously weve already had a bunch of malwares entering the market.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I use apps only from the company in question. 'Facebook for Android' from Facebook, 'Twitter' from Twitter, etc...only use about 20 apps all in anyway so I don't think I'm at risk

I'm not saying what's been found out isn't bad - it is - I just don't really care. People are far too paranoid these days
[HTC Sensation] isak888:
Im not using so much apps either, on the other hand I want to be able to try some "fun" app from androidmarket without fearing theft og my personal information.

Its not about paranoia to me, I couldnt care less about wheter or not some random dude can read my sms. But Im rather angry about the companies doing just as they like, mainly to direct commercials and ads conected to your personality. Did you know facebook, after their latest update, now saves a certain cookie after your logout and sends all urls you visit with your browser back to their server..?

Well, now Im going offtopic in my own thread.

Id like to see HTC comment on this atleast.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Again, if Facebook care if I open a YouTube video every now and then then that's up to them - I'm not interesting!!

Would be nice to see what HTC say but I'm not going to hold my breath! :D
[HTC Sensation] kwiggington:
Im starting to loose faith in htc
[HTC Sensation] majesensei:

[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
so, in order to gain any kind of advantage, those apps need to know this vulnerability exists, am i right? just deleted that apk file, along with some other ones.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
As the Android Police blog appears to have melted, here's Aunty's take on it

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15149588

Oh noes naughty people can access:

The list of user accounts, including email addresses (but apparently not usernames or passwords)

A log of recent GPS locations (so you can be stalked!!!!)

Phone numbers taken from recent call logs (so people you call can be stalked!!!)

SMS data, including recent numbers and encoded messages (meh if they want to read "Park 123 543" be my guest)

HTC's response:

"HTC takes our customers' security very seriously, and we are working to investigate this claim as quickly as possible," the company said in a statement.

"We will provide an update as soon as we're able to determine the accuracy of the claim and what steps, if any, need to be taken."
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
Is there a way to tell if the offending app (Htclogger.apk) is on your phone without rooting?
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Remember it appears you are absolutely fine unless you install an app which is written to access the log files.
[HTC Sensation] majesensei:
As Androidpolice says, the info could be used to clone your device, not only read some of your contacts. Now of course, you are fine as long as you do not install any malicious app, but I would even feel uncomfortable knowing that HTC can read ANY activity from my device at ANY point in time WITHOUT asking for my permission (or even after I denied that permission as shown in the video). The VNC thingie would also bug me cuz it is an app without any apparent use for the user and it does not serve a specific purpose - its just there until "someone" needs it. Now of course HTC wants to improve on user feedback and pulling it is much more convenient than asking for it, but if they want my opinion and see what I'm using they should at least ask me for it. That said, let's hope HTC addresses this problem in the very near future and does clarify why those apps are there and what purpose they serve. I will run the test app again after the next OTA for sure.
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I don't think HTC is the problem.

I believe the problem is Google.

Ever go to the Google Android market place and see what they want to run in the background before they let you in?

I don't go near the place.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
You're misssing the point.

The phone has this feature so that should you enable "Tell HTC" it can then send the info to HTC, if you don't enable that it just sits on your phone as a system log.
[HTC Sensation] majesensei:
True, and I agree that this is not a scary thing for itself. I am not a fan of conspiracy theories, but think about a combination of things: The log is created and sits there. There is a VNC client embedded deeply in your system by your manufacturer for no reason, which gives access to your device from a remote location. I am from Germany and used to a debate about data preservation (which is illegal, in Germany), but there are other countries that have a much broader "grey-zone" for these kind of things. I wonder where those Sensations with the HtcLogger.apk are (hi@US?). We are all running the same Android build (as long as we don't root our phones), some are affected, others aren't. I just find it weird, and I doubt that some rogue dev at HTC programmed these apk's just for the fun of it.
[HTC Sensation] htcsensation:

[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
This is why I uninstall everything I know I won't be using via TiBu. OpSec is key...
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Judging by the comments left on the blog very few phones seem to be affected, could be carrier related as to whether you have it or not.

Apparently, HTC are resolving the problem & there should be some sort of an OTA update soon.

deffinately a google problem. the bad thing is this htclogger.apk is only one of many that i believe i read came out with ota's and will be a standard but is being confronted by many developers. also those .apk's have libraries. i just ran acros the romcleaner script yesterday and they had a recent update. i havent run it yet, but have deleted all 4 or 5 apk's. just check it out they can xplain it sorry no link search romcleaner and i know its in the revolution hd thread

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rawi666:
Hi,

Here's a patch for stock odexed XXKI3 to remove vibrate icon from status bar. I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature but I hated it and removed according to instructions from this thread

Thanks to tripc1 for instructions.

RAWI.NO_VIBRATE_ICON.MOD.zip

This one is with:

- CRT Effect

- % Circle Battery mod

RAWI.NO_VIBRATE_ICON.MOD_2.zip

If the first doesn't work then try the second file. I removed the icon having already crt and battery mode applied, so SystemUI.apk was different than stock.

PLEASE DO BACKUP PRIOR TO INSTALLING!

As I can't post in Android Development section (I haven't made 10 posts requirement) I'm posting it here.

This Mod is by vintozver

Removing vibrator icon on ODEXED roms. If you have deodexed one - you will not need to odex the apk again, you will need to sign the apk instead.

The method works for ANY android version actually. You SHOULD backup your device prior doing this. You SHOULD think what you do.

Patch may not work for your device. I did this for SGS2 2.3.6 KI4 (stock).

===

We need:

0. jre/jdk

1. adb

2. apktool (for looking for resources if they differ in your version).

3. smali/baksmali tools

4. dexopt-wrapper (on Device)

Process:

1. Download SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex on your computer.

2. Download /system/framework to your computer (framework folder for clarity).

3. BOOTCLASSPATH=framework /opt/smali/baksmali -d framework/ -o dx_obj --api-level 9 -x SystemUI.odex

You'll have dx_obj folder filled with dalvik VM source code (dex-source).

4. Apply patch (see below), which strips out unnecessary code and icon updates.

5. /opt/smali/smali dx_obj/

6. Rename out.dex to classes.dex

7. Put classes.dex to SystemUI.apk file

8. copy updated SystemUI.apk to temporary folder on your device like: adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk

9. adb shell

# cd /sdcard

# dexopt-wrapper SystemUI.apk SystemUI.odex

# cp SystemUI.odex /system/app/SystemUI.odex

# sync

10. reboot the device (you may issue "reboot" command in the shell as well).

Enjoy!

Patch may be different for some roms and some android versions. The best method of searching the code has been explained in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18033801 (unpacking apk within apktool and looking for identifiers). PM me for further help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Intratech:
You haven't packed the apk mate.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rawi666:
Hm, it's not necessary, the change is only in .odex file....

The solution is based not on removing the actual vibrate icon from apk file but on removing lines of code that shows the icon in status bar.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jeandujardin01:
did NOT work ! :s
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rawi666:
Ok, I posted the second file. Now it's with SystemUI.apk but also with other tweaks.

The second file works for sure.

Appologise for inconvenience.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Intratech:
Can you tell us what tweaks please? I'd like to know what I'm doing to my device before making any changes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rawi666:
Tweaks for batt circle mod and crt effects comes from this thread and this.

After that I patched against vibrate icon according to the instructions.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pepxl:
Strange, I'm on KI3 and don't have the issue with the vibrate icon when vibrate is set to always on.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jeandujardin01:
gr8 second file made me lose notification bar ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rawi666:
Have you installed any other themes/mods that also modifiy SystemUI.apk?

The file I posted works perfect on pure stock xxki3 from samfirmware.com...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] woodstock_ahem:
I have KI3... dont have the vibrate icon aftet i set it to NEVER in settings->sound->vibration...

is it the same thing we are talking here? why do we needed a modified app to do the same ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rawi666:
Yes, but the problem occurs when you want to set the option to ALWAYS and you DONT want to see the vibrate icon all the time
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gpawel:
You can upload ONLY remove Vibrate MOD without CRT Effect and % Circle Battery mod, cause I don't want change it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MS.:
JKay Settings app has a lot of tweaks, including removal of vibro-icon and it works on any rom.

Thanks for trying anyway.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ikeny:
Is this in the Android market? Can't find it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gpawel:
Sorry, I didn't read carefully. After installing the file from the first link, everything is in ok! Thanks guys.

You must install the file from the first link by CFW.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ikeny:
There is also a free app "Contact Vibrate". You can set all calls to vibrate even though you don't have it on "Always Vibrate" under general setting.

With the app, you can even customize the vibration pattern for each contact (if you wish to). If not, it will use a master pattern (your choice) for all.

This is good for unrooted users, or those that don't want to mess with the ROM anymore.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gpawel:
It is possible for KI4?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Megapaul:
Thx for the tip, works fine and i don't see the vibrate icon anymore. :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vintozver:

[Galaxy S II General] OptimalKiller:
Hi all,

been searching the threads about smali codeing, I want to start myself but i cant find any website or threads that gives you the basics.

Does anyone have any links or book recomendations for a newbie. I have skills in PHP, and scripting. But this smali thing just does not make any sense.

Any pointers would be great!!!

for exampe this is a basic hello world script.

.super Ljava/lang/Object;

.method public static main([Ljava/lang/String;)V
.registers 2

sget-object v0, Ljava/lang/System;->out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;

const-string v1, "hello,world!"

# combine executing with adb shell commands and console output
# and you have a very quick way to test code
invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Ljava/io/PrintStream;->println(Ljava/lang/String;)V

return-void
.end method

just cant make head nor tail of it

Cheers

[Galaxy S II General] mostyle:
I feel your pain, I've been wanting the exact same thing.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
The only thing Im kind of sure of is v1 being assigned "Hello World" and >println(Ljava/lang/String;)V displaying the message. xD

Other than that everything else is just pure speculation of this or not this.
[Galaxy S II General] OptimalKiller:
cheers folks,

this smali code is like a secret language that a few people speak. but its unspoken by many :D
[Galaxy S II General] petsasj:
Seriously smali is, perhaps to me, one of those languages that i never get.

The only way i ever managed to get it to work is by trial and error, start by small and apps and try to move on.

One of the sites that i found somewhat useful was this http://pallergabor.uw.hu/androidblog/dalvik_opcodes.html

You can find all basic commands of smali there (sget, sput, iput, iget, invoke-virtual, add-int, mul-int. div-int etc etc).

I've spent my last few days working with TouchWiz's Launcher smali codes, and i can safely say i hate it.

So it looks like Verizon is pushing up some peoples' upgrade dates. Potentially in preparation for the iPhone launch next month. Or not.

Either way, before today (probably Saturday, actually), my upgrade date was 5/30/12. Today, my upgrade date is now. All phones are listed at their 2 year prices for my line.

It seems to only be the primary line, since my wife's phone (which we got at exactly the same time) has the normal upgrade date on it.

It does look like, if I go early, I'd lose the NewEvery2 discount, but I think that's down to $30 or so anyway, so meh.
