[General Questions and Answers] Pinan:
Do a little research. Google Voice is not a phone company that gives you free calls. It is a phone number, only. Whatever system you use it on will use those minutes. As stated above, you will need a separate phone app that uses either wireless or 3/4G. With that in mind it is well known that using 3/4G will likely result in poor quality, while using wifi can be as good as a land-line. In order to not use your paid minutes you will need to call, and accept calls with the app you choose.

I use GrooVeIP with great success over wifi. I rarely bother with 3G.

Echo is mostly caused by the mic and/or earpiece being set too loud, causing a loop between the two. The only setting I changed is to lower the mic slightly.

Launcher problem

I just picked up my Exhibit II recently and love it. And since I came on here......I was able to root it.(because of the wonderful help I found on here...Thank you)

But now I have a small problem. I moved the launcher from my old phone to this one because I like it better and I have used it more. So anyways....there was usually a box that would pop up and I could choose which launcher I wanted to use. Well.....I guess I clicked on the wrong one and made it the default launcher. I'd really like to have the other launcher back. This happened once before on my Vibrant but it has been so long ago that I just can't remember what I did. I think the launcher that came on the phone is TouchWiz30 and the one I want to use is Launcher version ebproductions.V5

In the task manager under Downloaded I can see the one I want but I dont see the other one. The option for "Launch by default" is dim and when I clicK on it.....nothing happens. Can someone please give me an idea as to how to fix this? Thank you very much.
[General Questions and Answers] jvnat:
See if this works. Click Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All... scroll down and click on TwLauncher, click on Clear data. Hopefully that'll reset your default launcher.

OK ppl I got root finally now how do I freeze or remove bloat safely an rooting was scary;)

via Dan swagger
[General Questions and Answers] jwsm:
To freeze bloatware, I use Bloat Freezer. It "disables" all the bloatware and prevents them from starting up and running and hogging resources. It doesn't actually remove/uninstall the bloatware(they are still on the phone), but they won't be able to run. I think it's much safer to freeze than to delete/remove/uninstall stuff that you don't want, especially if you aren't sure what can and can't be deleted.

Hi Guys

Can I humbly recommend Gemini App Manager, free from Market......

It allows you to "freeze" and stop "autoruns" for any App, including system.

does a lot more too, like it can do what other paid-for Apps do, for free.....:D

Use it in Expert Mode.....it really is good, but requires you to learn how to use it, so good for you too!!!
[General Questions and Answers] jwsm:
It's a free app that's available from the market.

: Oops, looks like it's gone from the market. You can also get it from here.

No 3G connectivity in Europe?

Hi all,

I am using the phone in Europe and I cannot seem to get 3G anywhere, although I have a working 3g plan and perfect network coverage.

I found some discussion on T-mobile's support forum that mentioned something about the phone not supporting band I of UMTS that is used all over Europe and only supports band IV, which is used in U.S. and Canada.

Anyone knows anything about that problem? Is it possible that T-mobile software locked the 3G band?

Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Config "Autoruns" to stop app auto starting in defined events.

Loads more options, like One-key RAM optimize, move Apps, uninstall Apps, alll those little icons, tell all App functions....

If you actually want to look at specific frequencies and specific protocols, you may want to dial *#0011# to view the current frequencies in use.

I think that's where you need to start - you need to find the exact information your phone provides you, then do the research yourself. None of us will be able to solve it for you because the Exhibit II is sold in the USA.

I'd suggest you return the Exhibit II for a refund and get a Galaxy W. It is supported in Europe.

It appears that Titanium Backup freezing does not work on CIQ; however Bloat Freezer Free appears to work. After freezing you have to reboot the phone and click the force close messages just like with the method using adb, but then it seems to come up as inactive after the reboot and no more FC messages.

Here's the results I got afterwards:

Samsung exhibit ii 4g rooting problems

I downloaded the ZergRush rar to root my Samsung Exhibit II 4G. Installed the USB drivers, enabled USB debug, and ran the ZergRush.bat file, each line of the command prompt had the same error message ('adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file).

The last command line pauses and then ask to press any key to continue. I assume I've done something wrong or this .bat file won't work on my Exhibit II 4G.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys I am new to rooting and was afraid to. I am so happy I did this!

Guys I have a question though: It said to use the ZergRushRoot for the first Exhibit and I did, and it worked!

ALSO, I removed the bogus bloatware too, using Titanium Backup. Here is what I removed safely:

-WiFi Calling

-Slacker

-Books (Google Books)

-T-Mobile Mall

-411 & Assistance

-Visual Voicemail

-More for me

-Telenav GPS

-Backup (T-Mobile Backup, disable sync in settings first!)

-T-Mobile TV

**You may get a com.android._____ failed or something. Just restart the phone and you're good to go

I removed some apps without backing up (yea i did it!) and now i can't get rid of com.android.email and com.android.mms messages. Some people have gotten rid of these messages by clearing the data for that application (manage applications->running apps->email->clear data) but that doesn't help in my case.

Another solution for .mms failure was to delete the mmssms.db file, haven't tried that.

Has anyone successfully got rid of these messages?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] captain.dogendo:

I tried deleting the mmssms.db and confirmed that it was gone and recreated on reboot but I still get the "messaging (process.com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly" error...

Does anyone fancy giving me their exhibit 2 back up?!

EDIT: What I said about not backing up is not strictly true, I backed up everything using titanium backup before I un-installed, some of the apps I've tried to restore using titanium backup just hang during restoration...

Here's my progress on making a cyanogenmod ROM:

I've rooted my Exhibit II 4G using the link in #3

I may have just got odin to work, v4.42. That's from droid angel's blog (use google). Still working on this

Still need to: make a "stock firmware" image, then make sure I can restore to it using odin

Still need to: work with Benjamin Dobell and get heimdall to work, samsung has changed the protocol

Still need to: verify samsungs' source code release contains a working build

Still need to: port cyanogenmod

I'd like to do a clockworkmod (CWM) port or try out RZRecovery but with odin+heimdall it's not as urgent, since the odin protocol is at a very low level.

Here are the different modes you can get to:

1. Download mode: hold the Volume Down button, then power up

2. Recovery mode: hold the Volume Up button, then power up

3. Ramdump mode: hold both Volume Up & Down, then power up

Power up: If the phone is on, power it off first. If the phone is off and the USB cable is unplugged, just plug the USB cable in. When the phone goes to charging mode, it will see the buttons you're holding down, and that gets you into one of the three modes. If the phone is off and the USB cable is plugged in, press the power button for a few seconds, then release it. As the phone powers on, it will see the buttons held down.

Edit: I've finally learned the secret to recovery mode...heh! So, you hold volume up, then press power. (It doesn't work in charging mode like the others.) Hold power for a few seconds, and the phone starts to boot up. Keep volume up held until you see the recovery mode image (an Android coming out of a box) then start tapping the menu button. I had to hit it a few times before the recovery mode menu appeared.

I too am not familiar with Odin, I have experience flashing roms using CWM for the Triumph and Optimus V. With Odin can you make nandroids like you can with CWM?
[General Questions and Answers] s0unds:
No, odin only flashes the device. It's limited because it's by samsung. It's their version of clockworkmod. You know it would have been easier if they just used clockworkmod, but they made their own.

With a rooted phone, you can make backups all you want. (Not as easy as nandroid backup but it works.)

But the point of your backup is to recover from a bad flash. Odin does that.
