[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
I would like to add my own thought of this question. As my many years experiences of smartphone and laptop, office applications are divided into two groups by usage level as follows:

1. Essential applications includes:

- Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Pdf viewer/tuner

- Files Manager

- Calendar/Task Reminder/Alarm Clock/Contacts manager

- Note/Memo/Voice Recorder...

- OCR Scanner/PDF Converter, Calculator/Dictionaries/Currency, Unit converter...

- TeamViewer/VNC client...

- Stock/RSS/News/Weather app...

- Skype/Yahoo/Facebook/Twitter and other text/voice IM client...

- POP3/IMAP/Web Email client

- Web Browser/Google/Yahoo Search...

- And ofcos, all functions of a feature phone

2. Professional applications includes:

- AutoCad

- Word/Xls/PowerPoint creator/editor

- Photoshop/CorelDraw/3DMax/Visio editor...

- ERP softwares (Accounting, POS, CRM...), Programming (Java, Oracle...)

- Heavy Web surfing

- Full features PC remote

- All kinds of studio application (photo, audio, video)...,

- And any other professional application which requires high memory, large storage, powered CPU, strong GPU, multiple I/O ports, heavy multi-task operation, etc...

You guys are working only on applications in the first group, you can completely sell your laptop to save the money for purchasing a power smartphone like Atrix along with some valued accessories, eg. wireless keyboard/mouse, multimedia dock, laptop dock, high capacity battery...

But if you guys have any need of application in the 2nd group, you will be disappointed if using a smartphone like not only Atrix but also hi-end Android/iOS tablets such as Galaxy Tab, iPad, Transformer Prime... for it.

And for myselft, I am using two devices simultaneously for works.

Just as my own experiences...
[Atrix 4G General] txaggies07:
Cell phones with accessories still have a long way to go before I could replace my laptop. I need Visual Studio, Visio, and my company's software that I use for consulting purposes. I would love to get rid of a heavy laptop, but I had to go with a quadcore i7 sandy bridge because I really do need the performance. The thinner laptops only have the dual core i7, which cuts my primary apps speed in half (multithreading).
[Atrix 4G General] stevenavm:
Funny, I actually didn't have a choice about a month ago. I'm a student at UCF in Orlando, FL. My lapdock had actually just come in 3 hours before my hard disk in my laptop bit the dust and I had to wait a week for the replacement to come in, so I had to use the lapdock as my computer for a while. I bought the lapdock to take to class(my laptop is a 17" beast and a pain to carry around with all the other crap I lug around.. I really didn't think that through when I bought it back in 09) and it did the bare essentials. There's no way I'd replace my computer with the atrix lapdock though. Not a chance. The speed, multi-tasking ability, rendering, none of it is up to par to replace a purpose-made computer. It does just enough for the money, IMO.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
I have replaced my personal laptop that I used to carry around, I mostly use my full laptop only to burn dvds, rip music, create and edit videos for Youtube and such tasks.

But for day to day things like browsing the web for research, typing memos and multimedia stuff (Photoshopping with GIMP, youtube, Netflix, etc) also I do a lot of Torrenting from my Atrix remotely onto my QNAS home server and website managing through FTP and many other things.

Cheers!

[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
Hi all,

This thread pertains to the inbuilt Internet Calling feature on Gingerbread. By default, it uses g.711 but I use an audio broadcast unit which requires g.722.

Is anyone able to help me, with finding out where the prefs are for the default SIP client, and how to enable g.722 as Mon codec de preference?

Many thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
Perhaps I should post this in Dev...
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
Well, according to the rules, I'm not allowed to post a development based question in the dev forum. Apparently "If it's not about a ROM, it's not allowed in the development area" - perhaps the 'Dev' area should be renamed 'ROMs', and a separate Development Area should be opened?! That way, serious questions won't get overlooked and moved down so quick with the masses of repeated questions from new members.

Anyway - thats my rant...

Here's my actual question - reposted:

Hi folks

OK, this isn't ROM related as such, but it is definitely development related, hence posting here. I'm not a programmer, but I know my way around config files etc. usually. What I'm trying to find out, is this:

Can I adjust the 'built-in' VoIP Client to use a different codec? There's no options available in software, but the config for the client must be somewhere - question is, WHERE would it be? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'll report my findings :)

There's a few VoIP things I want to customise, but using the native client, rather than a third party app.

I'm not after a spoon-fed solution - just the clues where to look so I can sort it out.

Many thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] orld:
Just unzip any ROM and look inside,

That would spare you own phone and you can check every single file.

Btw, apk are zip files as well...
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
I've had a look around, but still haven't found the right things.

I guess the 'Internet Calling' function is part of the main 'phone' app, but I can't find any settings or config files for this.

It should be such a simple change to make; but I'm stuck at the first hurdle!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] golfman32:
I am coming up to 6 days with this device.

I am running into a problem, the Telus tech support advised to return and swap.

I will have the device charged at 8am, at about 7 hours the battery will show close to 100% or 100%. The battery indicator will continue to show 100%, then the device dies, 0 battery.

Do I have a unit that should be replaced if the battery indicator does not provide proper information?

What could cause the battery indicator not to work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HRodMusic:
weird, have u tried pulling the battery out and rebooting the device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
People have talked about the "battery always at 100%" bug since launch. I haven't really heard of many reports of this with the Telus variant, but you should replace it as soon as you can, in case another one has and you need to use those 14-30 days for returning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
you just need to reboot the phone

i found how the BUG gets triggered

it's only when you charge it up to 100% with AC plug

if you charge it up to 100% with USB it doesn't get stuck on 100%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] madizmo:
I had this problem aswell and it was only when charging on ac power. I also was using a 6ft usb cable i bought at walmart, i switched to the one that came with the phone and now ac charging is fine. I'd say if your using the cable that came with it and your still having this problem it could be your phone but i doubt it. Also as AllGamer said just reboot the phone after you unplug it and it is fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cabanon:
have this phone since satursday afternoon and im very pleased with it. im coming from a Telus P4000 after 4 years and half LOL. i needed an update i think, haha.

so far, i charged 3 ways.

in-car charged from a nexus one = 100%. lower fine

usb charged = 100%. lower fine

A/C from a nexus one = 100%. lower fine.

so if you're going to charge to with cheap ass stuff, that might be the problem, but so far it's all good on my side.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kriEv:
it's a defective unit.

I charge mine all the time with AC plug and it's never done that to me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Love everything about this ROM except for the battery life, using KK3, dyanmicram's 99tweaks, app_process and system_server.

Why does my batter drain from moderate use in like 11 hours?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
What kind of background apps or services are you running? What CPU governor is your kernel using (you can check with Voltage Control)? Is the phone draining quickly in standby, or only when you're using it? If it drains quickly in standby, use CPUSpy to see if your phone is going into deep sleep (otherwise you might have something causing wake lock). What kind of reception are you getting with the KK3 modem?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Sorry for the late response! Just reflashed CM7 after being disappointed with other ROMs.

Now using CM 7 11/21 build, USAS v13, 99tweaks, KK3 modem

Kernel using conservative governer. cfq I/O Scheduler. 100-1200 MHz

Phone seems to drain too much on standby.

CPUSpy says it is NOT going into deep sleep. Can't pinpoint any app preventing it.

Getting mid-full reception 3G/H+ with KK3 modem.

Edit:

Killed all processes, restarted, cleared out my voicemail (was that the key?), now i've entered deep sleep.

Spare parts says the "partial wake usages" are Dialer, Android System, Media, UID 10060, and a few other things that are practically nil.

Will keep yall updated if this actually worked, going to reset timers in CPUspy, put phone into sleep for an hour and see how much of that is deep sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uranidiot:
i'm trying to tether my rooted Samsung Epic 4G Touch to my rooted Nook tablet. the tethering app "wireless tether 3.1 pre104" works fine on my netbook but the Nook tablet can't even see it. any help please would be great or the nook going back to bestbuy:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
It would help if you'd do a bit of research first..

Having said that, this is the reason why. Android devices (like the Nook Tablet) do not see ad-hoc wifi networks which is what your wireless tether app is broadcasting. This has nothing to do with the Nook specifically, but Android in general.

I think there's a beta version of wireless tether that supports "infrastructure mode", search for it. Or find a custom ROM that has the Sprint hotspot app modified, or return the Nook Tablet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sonicdh:
Perhaps, though, this trick for the Nook Color might work:

600 - 1.0 GHz

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
Maybe you should lower the min? it might be a problem. I don't know.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Hayden18:
Could the outside temperature also be a contributing?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Maybe, but your minimum speed is most likely the contributing factor. By keeping it at 600 you're telling the phone to always stay at that speed, even when it doesn't need to and it's trying to idle to save battery

If you want to keep it at 600, do so but at least use SetCPU to create a profile that'll set the minimum to ~245 MHz when the display goes off

Disregard me, sorry. I didn't see that you were using your phone constantly
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] UnknownAX:
The battery of the x5 is a LiPo. The critical temp of a Lipo is 60 degrees. When the temp is over 60c it will lose lifetime.Ofcourse less temperature is better...Myself I own many really big lipo packs (RC hobby) and they are just good at 45C. But this is a phone battery so.....atleast I can say that 45c wont really harm the battery, If you aren't using 24/7 on that temp. The battery temp of my stock x5 is usually 26-34c.

Aslong as your fingers aren't burning......everything is OK ;)

Have a revo, flashed gingervolt on it and now it just boots into recovery everytime I boot. I've tried flashing stock on it, that stock gingerbread that has the boot and the system in it... nothing works... just keeps going into recovery. (Clockworkmod Recovery). In addition when I try power and volume up nothing happens, goes into Clockworkmod not the LG recovery.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilvoice32:
I, myself, do not own this aria, but my little cousins dad, who's extremely mental with electronics repeatedly got the passcode wrong and now it asks for the gmail account he used for his phone. He doesnt have a gmail. I can use the m-sd on my transformer, or i can use a windows pc. It would be futile, because developement isnt on. Is there some way i can send it into a state to flash the stock rom?

If so can the rom be posted?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
First of all, I believe the lockout will expire eventually (within a few hours?) and then you can just log in like usual. But if that isn't how it works (I'm not really sure), then yes you can do a complete reset.

Turn the phone off (pull the battery if necessary -- then put it back in), then hold down the trackball button and press the power button once, then release the trackball button after a few seconds. You should be at a screen that says "FASTBOOT" in red. You can connect your phone to your computer while on this screen and you will be able to use HTC's ROM Update Utility (RUU) to re-install the latest ROM: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/HTC_aria/HTC_Aria_for_ATT_Android_2.2_ROM_Update.exe (This does not require that you have USB debugging or any other setting enabled.)

Good luck.

I had unlocked my neo a while ago.

I tried flashing it to MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Global version. Still nothing.

I have tried SEUS and PC companion. My phone gets detected but they say i have a modified software and thats it.

First of all , if your bootloader is unlocked-RELOCK IT.

After that , try flashing the stock firmware or use SEUS.

When people go to bootloader unlock their phones, do they completely miss the prominent warning or what?

Some customers with unlocked boot loaders have experienced problems when they are accepting over the air upgrades (FOTA - Firmware upgrade Over The Air). For customers that have unlocked the boot loader, please do not accept any over the air upgrades. For additional information, check out the hints and tips from the community on the XDA forum.

I just got the Rezound yesterday for my work phone. I have Exchange setup on the phone and my grail account. However, neither one syncs. I let me phone sit overnight and when I came back to it, it said I had 0 emails. As soon as I opened it and hit menu refresh, I got all my emails from over the night. Now the only way I can get my email is doing the menu refresh.

I have factory reset the phone twice and double checked the settings. They are set to push email (even off peak) and always on mobile data is checked.

Anything else I can check or try to get them to work? Is it maybe a defective phone? Everything else works fine. I can surf the web, youtube and everything. Just email issues.
[HTC Rezound] toby1064:
When I've had this problem (on different phones), I go to application data and clear the caches and data for gmail, reopen gmail and it usually starts syncing correctly after that. But I would assume that a factory reset would accomplish this?

I will give that a try. Thanks! Yeah I thought the factory reset would have fixed it too.
