[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red_skittles:
I am with Mobilicity in Ontario which gives me unlimited local calling, text, and data when I am in one of their "unlimited zones" (major cities) but heading an hour or so out of the city I'm roaming. This doesn't pose to much of a problem for me as I live downtown and rarely leave Toronto, but I do have family and friends I visit from time to time that don't live within the "unlimited zone" which makes my phone useless to me.

From what I understand about GV and GrooveIP, it allows you to make free calls and text to anywhere in the US and Canada for free over 3G data and wifi, which is exactly what I need for when I'm not in the city. At first I thought I could use a US proxy to get a GV number then set up GrooveIP so when I am out of the unlimted zone I can still communicate over wifi using my GV number. The problem I realized is that no one I know in Canada is going to want to pay international call and text rates to reach me at a US GV number.

Is there some other free service available in Canada that allows me to send and receive texts and calls for free over wifi?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:
You can use grooveip in canada! I use it. Just get someone in states to make youan email and stuff. Then use it to login in canada. Ive been using it in canada for awhile now
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red_skittles:
You're right! It does work. I can even make long distance calls for free now too. Are you able to receive calls through grooveip without a google voice number? When making a call do you know what your caller id looks like to the other person? I assumed that Grooveip also supported sms but I see now that it doesn't. Is there an app with the same functionality as grooveip but for sending and recieving texts over wifi
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:
When you call people it shows the US number i believe. Also i have never tried receiving calls because the ppl who would call you in canada would get charged for calling to the states as grooveip uses a US number.

For texting look up a few apps...i think textplus was one...but cant recall
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belovedson:
so let me get this straight if i buy grooveip

i can use my gvoice in canada and not get charged long distance?

im not sure how grooveip works sorry
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlazinHitman:
how do you even get a google voice number in canada anyways?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:
You have to have someone in US register you an email in the states. Then use that email to use groove ip!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fieldside:
Use Fongo, which was previously Dell Voice, can let you make free Canada and US calls over wifi! The quality is even better than google voice, imo.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericman77:
Need help getting my car stereo with mp3 playback to recognize my music on my cm7 vibrant. My brother plugged his boost mobile android in and it worked? I've tried my vibrant xoom and nook none work. Im not sure of what kind or name of folder to put the music in. That may be the problem. My brother lives far away so can't see what he did on his phone to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I saw some threads about this in other phones (like bionic)

Now I know we can't get the verizon off the face of our phone since it is under the glass

but it IS possible to take it off the battery cover by rubbing gently with a penny or a fingernail.

I just scratched it off using my thumbnail and it looks nice without the Verizon in white under the red Droid x2.

Wasn't sure if anyone had done this before. Not a big deal but it does look smooth and nice ;)

Edit:: if anyone knows of a way to get the Verizon off the face of the screen please let me know :)
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I heard if you put a tiny layer of something over the logo and then take a sugar cube and rub off where the logo is it will come off. Haven't tried it myself though.

EDIT: I think it was scotch tape, some sort of tape. :P
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Hmm. Really? I always thought it was underneath the glass. I will look into this more
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Oh I should have read that correctly, I thought you were talking about the logo on the battery cover. My mistake. I'd love to get their damn logos off my phone also.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah the Verizon logo on battery cover came right off for me. And it was as simple as scraping it away with my thumbnail.

It came off just like I was scratch a lotto ticket ...very easy for battery cover logo.

Now in the face of the phone is a different story lol
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
It IS under the glass
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
That's what I thought.thanks for confirmation.

I wonder if I can get to it by taking the phone apart

. There was a video on youtube that shows how to take it apart and put back together. Not sure if that area will be accessible to alter tho.

maybe ill grab me a broken x2 from ebay and try it out sometime
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
That's some dedication lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
same way you fix the blinking 12:00 on your VCR, electrical tape.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Sharpie under screenprotecter?
[Motorola Droid X2] MiniTru:
Wouldn't that make a big, round lump? :D
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Scotch tape the inner non-screen border.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Scotch tape is clear tho? Lol

I found the BEST solution to this.

just keep my OTTERBOX DEFENDER case on and I can't see it anymore lol :)
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Best case ever!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yupperz! !!

And I swear it even makes my music sound louder lol
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Tape is a masking agent to get a good line at the screen area.

Do you work for ATT?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
What? You just confused the hell outta me lol.

Get a good line? Huh?

AT&T? Yeah I don't think so lol

maybe I had one to many beers today but ur posts make no sense to me at all so far hahaha
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
:)Use tape to cover the lower screen area,mark out the lower nonscreen area including logo with a sharpie, so you have a black area on the surface to match the lower screen where the logo is/was. And put on a screen protector.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ahhh. I get it now lol .like painters tape for a straight edge lol

..why did u think I work for AT&T? Cuz I don't want Verizon showing? Haha

Im thinking clearer now can ya tell? Lol

Play through Plants vs Zombies and after you get past the first several levels, random crashing.

This is with any combination of rom's/kernels (starburst / midnight)

I even completely wiped my phone, re-flashed the bone stock rom/kernel and re-downloaded Plants vs Zombies and started a new game - same thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
search is your friend. alot of games have crashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fiver5:
Yeah, I had searched but apparently not thoroughly enough.

This appears to be related to an audio issue. As Plants V Zombies only allows turning volume down to zero rather than disabling audio entirely, I don't believe there is a resolution for the Epic 4g touch at this time.

By 3.0, u mean android honeycomb? If so, you can, but you won't be able to do much with it (A lot of bugs/things not working). Otherwise, the recommended one is using gingerbread 2.3.7
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
hi guys

i just noticed today that when i am in camera mode, there's no count of photos "left", and i am pretty sure it was showing when i had 2.3.3... i am running baseband KI1 at the moment...if i switch to video, it shows the minutes left that i can record, but nothing for the pics..there is just the icon that tells me that i am saving on the internal storage or if i set it to the SD card, then the SD icon appears.

is there a setting somewhere for that? it's nice to know how many you have left...

thanks

gabrio
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabriolinari:
I did testing and I noticed that they show the number when capacity gets close to full.. I recorded a very large hd video and had just 200mb left on the sd card..

I removed due to some people saying the zergrush method was bricking their phones. After I used it on My phone I had to do an FDR for it to work again otherwise it was a boot loop.

Okay so I want to root my Arc so I can enjoy a much faster Arc with better battery life, but with ICS just around the corner is it even worthwhile?

Also on the subject of ICS, how soon are we Arc users likely to get the update (I'm still on 2.3.3)? I'm pretty sure I read that we'll only get our hands on Arc after SE release their new flagship dual core phone which will.come with ICS pre-installed.

[HTC Sensation] satani:
I have (a second) HTC Sensation here (stock) and tried to uplrade the Revolution HD-Rom with Sense 3.5, but i at first fail at recovery.

I have done the Key-Typing and have S-OFF.

HBOOT 1.17.1111

when I place the Recovery PGS8IMG.zip (either v. 5.0.1.0. or 5.0.2.0)

it says extracting and "file not found" i just tried 3 different zip files, so I still do not have recovery. Am I doing anything wrong ?

Edit: forget this Topic:

it *might* be good to take note that you have to delete (or rename) the PGS8IMG on the SD-Card, otherwise, you can not select the recovery-menu, as hboot automatically tries the PGS8IMG and does not allow to go back, just reboot.

[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
A lot of people have a problem with the new update SuperUser app 3.0.5. Bug, bootloop, FC with the root access.

@Eddy315West have found a workaround, only for HTC Users (sorry for the others)

All for HTC users using version 3.0.5

1 - Cleardata first in Settings/ Applications/ Manage applications.

2 - Then Settings app to autoresponse

2.1 - Disable logging .

2.2 - Disable notifications

Now apps data require root access should work like root checker

It's just a workaround, not a final solution. They hope a quick update

Works well in my HTC Desire S ;)

If you're concerned about not knowing what is getting super user access, I've found that changing the notification type from 'toast' to 'Status Bar' works and so far has no fc issues.

So .. finished work today, grabbed my phone, for some reason I decided to restart it, when it starts back up, it had auto updated to the new superuser, next minute, I was entering the city limits for force-close city, next stop, frustration with a side of smash my desire -_-"

good game android market, good game.

I fixed mine by setting auto response to "allow".. a bit dangerous if you have a lot of apps that requires root access.. make sure you know what you're doing..

Hey every1, so i just figured out wp7 actually can read message if you turn it on it settings :D

The thing is, the only way when it's really useful for me - when i'm riding a bike and listening a music via headset. The thing is my headset doesn't have a microphone. When i receive a message when i'm riding - i can't say read it, i still need to pick up the phone, so maby there's a way to get rid of "read it or no" - just read it without asking(if the headphones are on)?

Hi guys...I dont have an Ace but my sis asked if I could modify her one. I'm an S2 user myself.

Id be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction for the best Rom/kernel combo in terms of stability, speed and battery life.

She has had random reboot problems on stock Rom several times now and has got a new one from Vodafone because of it.the new phone is on 2.3.3 kp6.

I don't know a whole lot about the Ace but I assume it would be the same flashing process as other droids .. Ie..odin stock Rom, root and flash custom Rom?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
stock rom with ketut's cfroot kernel will do just fine, or just flash any custom rom based on stock. all of them are using ketut's cfroot kernel anyway. ace doesnt have much kernel choice like those high end device :)

cm7 kang is available, but its still not stable enough.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] KennyLegend:
Thanks mate. I'm not a fan of cm7 so il stay clear of that. I've tried it on my S2.

So only cf-root is available? This doesn't improve performance or stability though as its a rooted stock kernel..right?

**GT-I9100...XDA Premium App...Rom Kitchen Ki8 by Tricky103**
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Aktifit:
It fixes the screen of death problem, so that's quite nice for a start, I don't know what else it does to be honest :D. CM isn't stable yet and most of the other roms are pretty much the same IMHO. Just make sure she gets the latest version of cfroot kernel because earlier ones still suffer from SOD.

I'm using TheMyth rom at the moment and it seems to be very stable, but I can't tell yet for sure because I'm only using it since yesterday.

**GT-I9100...using Tapatalk & Rom Kitchen Ki8 by Tricky103**

I can only recommend glsmt rom, very stable and fast, but very poor battery life. I used it for more than a month and I never got the battery to last more than a day, sometimes it ran out after 10 hours. I guess that's a bit of a drawback :D.

So far TheMyth rom has the same performance and I'm still on 60% after one day (14h). But it's still too early to say anything about stability :P.
