[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
All,

Please let me clarify Viber's position on the matter on CM9, and Custom ROMs in general:

Our policy is that in general, we don't support Custom ROMs (we simply cannot afford to devote resources to supporting all Custom ROMs out there). However, we have decided to partially support CM and MIUI in the past, and are continuing to do so as newer versions (of ours!) are released.

HOWEVER - examining the case of CM9, this ROM was never officially declared by CyanogenMod developers - not even as Nightly. Please check out CyanogenMod's homepage and see that it is not even listed under the officially available Nightly Mods for neither Galaxy S nor Galaxy S2: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s

If we ever decide to add support to CM9, it will only happen once CM developers on their part decide at least to upload an official version - then it'll make sense for us to work with this official version and adapt Viber to it.

Your assumptions that there is a contradiction between Galaxy's API and CM9's API with regards to utilizing the microphone are probably correct, but we will not be able to verify these assumptions (and fix Viber accordingly) until - as we explained - CM9 is declared officially.

Thanks for your understanding, and you might want to contact CM9 developers with this message :)

the Viber Team.

what about Tango?

Hello Friends,

This is really very interesting to see a Viber development team member closely tracking related threads.

Can anyone also give us a lead on Tango as I will also definitely need this application. Atleast any alternate to Tango (Video calling) that works on ICS4.0+ will be much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofteno:
it works for me

i have an atrix with ICS, CM9
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raul77:
Tango works for me as well, without any issue. i am on ICS CM9 but it works with any ICS tried it on almost all of them.

i am really beginning to like Tango actually, video calling is awesome so is their voice quality, another thing i really like about them, not only it works on iOS and Android it works on PC as well, so the other person does NOT necessarily need a smart phone !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orohimaro:
Can someone with different version of custom ICS (besides CM9) tell if Viber is working correctly or the problem with the mic and sound remains ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
I'm coming from a 3GS tomorrow and was wondering is it possible to somehow extract data like wifi connections with passwords, Bluetooth devices, etc to a Android device so I don't have to set it all up again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr8hairy1:
That would be no. Unfortunately apple is a very closed system. Makes it very frustrating to switch devices. I'm sure that's not their intent at all :-)

If you're not jailbroken the backup/transfer choices you'll have will be even more limited. The best bet will be to do a google search for each thing you want saved/transferred. That way you'll find the latest methods for what you're trying to do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
Yea I figured it would be a pain if at all possible. I'm jailbroken so maybe it will be a little easier. Can't wait to get out of Apple's grasp haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr8hairy1:
To get a nice jump on things, go ahead and get a google account setup. With a google account you get google: voice, gmail, calendar, docs, picasa, music, plus a few others.

Start uploading your stuff to each of those, if you're not using them already.

Export your phone book to voice, up to 20,000 songs to music, all calendar appts, documents, and pictures on your phone -and desktop if you want- to picasa.

Once you get your android and log in with your google account, the only thing that will download is your phone contacts. The rest you can use like they're on the phone but they'll be online. Just open google music and all your songs are there. Saves alot of space on the phone. And if you want you can download music, pics, and documents to your phone through each of those apps.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
Yea I've always used gmail & have a voice accnt but never really used it. I did finish uploading all my music to google music and am really looking forward to that. How is the performance streaming with that? I'd prefer to not have to keep much music physically on the phone.

I've never used picasa, but I was always interested in that, any tips for that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr8hairy1:
Lol, I got at least 6 more days of uploading music to go. It's already been running 24/7 the past 7 days. ~13,000 tracks is a but much I guess, not to mention only a 2mb broadband line. But it's free internet. Perk of renting from a friend.

But music loads pretty fast. Usually less than 4 seconds for the first song, then usually 1 second or so for each one after that, depending on signal.

Picasa is awesome. It shows up right in the gallery on your phone. Can't even tell they're not on your phone they load so smooth.

And to share photos with picasa is really easy. It also integrates with google+.

It really takes a little bit to realize all the things you can do with your phone. People will ask me to send them a picture of something I took, 8mp camera after all, and my brain gets overloaded trying to pick only 1 way to send it to them.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Presbycusis:
The instructions for rooting Skyrocket say to put the Superuser.zip on the EXTERNAL SD, but when I looked at some tutorials on youtube to see how it is done in more detail people say to put it on the INTERNAL SD (though this is for T-Mobil version). Which should it be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Camaro1LE:
I have always put this on the internal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
you can flash zip files in cwm on both the internal and external.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Presbycusis:
To be on the safe side I put a copy on both. I did not see Superuser on the internal and had to flash from external. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place. Either way it worked. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] 150kwh:
I've had a problem off and on, sometimes the camera stops working and flashes pink and white instead of showing the preview image. (flash & other icons still remain on the screen--if you try to snap a photo it sometimes turns on the flash and keeps it on--sometimes a bright light such as light bulb or sun will sort of show up--restarting often does not help)

here is the problem: the shutter is not opening. It might be opening a little, but not all the way. You might hear it click.

Here is the (a) fix: smack your camera. Forwards or backwards, using the palm of your hand. Moderate strength.

If there is a more elegant fix, I'd like to hear.
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
might need to replace the camera it self. sounds like a hardware failure. :'(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanpc:
I was reading the FreeYourAndroid's How to Port Android to Another Device article and I'm really excited to test out some very simple ROM porting/tweaking by my own. But I have some simple questions:

Where to get an AOSP ROM? (Since as you guys said is easier to port)

Is it possible to use that tutorial (as it is) to port an AOSP ROM to a Galaxy Tab?

Is it possible to use that tutorial (as it is) to port an AOSP to a Galaxy S I9000B?

Is it possible to use that tutorial (as it is) to port an AOSP ROM to a Motorola Milestone?

Thanks for your reply JJE!

1) sorry for the misuse of words.....but the unit was hot!

6) I went online the minute I got my phone back through my PC....there was a history of the apps I had downloaded. But when I checked into google via my phone...the entire history was cleared i.e gone!

8) Initially google maps on the android market said the update is not available for my region". Now it says "Your device is not compatible with this item."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carson1912:
Just looking for some information & help here guys. I might seem like a really basic & simple question but I'm a newbie to Android. Got my Galaxy Nexus (which is my 1st Android) after having moved over from the iPhone.

Anyway, I have noticed that some apps I have installed auto start as soon as I stop them. My mate advised me to install the Android Booster app which closes apps, but a few minutes later some of them just auto restart like Facebook & Sky News. They also auto restart if I stop them through apps on the settings menu.

Is there a way of stopping these apps from running when I'm not using them to save on battery and data usage?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Apps that restart automatically have a background service running and will keep restarting. They might need that service for background updates or other tasks.

Uninstall the booster app and any other task manager you might have installed and let Android manage the resources. Apps running in the background normally have no measurable impact on battery life. You should never have to worry about that. Only really crappy apps (or wrong user settings like update every 2min) make problems and you should uninstall them anyway and not try to "fix" what they do wrong.

If you are worried about them eating your data, use the new data usage feature in the settings and restrict background data for the apps individually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carson1912:
Thanks for the reply. Yeah it was more the data usage than battery I am worried about. I hav now gone into setting and restricted background data. How do I restrict individual apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
You can't do Facebook yet as its not working with ics yet and can't access the menu. Most other apps have a setting option about auto updating.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason370:
Am I alone here when I say i'd like to be able to dim this thing a lot more, occasionally?

Thus far I can't find a way to do so. Does anyone know of a way to dim the screen beyond the limitations of the brightness settings?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticCat:
you are not alone, I run at 0% brightness all day and God knows i want even darker at night
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
Same here. At night i sometimes think the brightness has been turned up. I use at it around 10% during the day and it feels it is way too bright at night
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendoe91z28:
download "screen filter" from the market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
You got there before me Bendoe, yep, Screen Filter works a treat people, just be sure not to set it too low when you first use it, else you won't "see" anything if you do lol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd993:
I am still awaiting my Galaxy Note, but perhaps the following could offer a solution.....

[MOD]Lower Auto-Brightness levels to save battery

This is a mod for the Galaxy S 2 but in theory the method should be ok to apply to the Note. However that said, I have not tried it on the Note (or successfully on my S2 as I always have trouble recompiling the apk) but hopefully it could help some as by applying the mod you can change the default 'lowest value' of auto-brightness from something from around 35 to 5 (on a scale from 0-255) making it light up less in dim environments.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ookba:
That worked on my NOTE with my KKA ROM! My auto brightness is MUCH better now. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd993:
Glad to of helped out!

So to anyone else reading this with the same issue.......follow suit!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcespon:
The native web browser has 3 energy saving settings that make the screen even darker than 0 brightness, but there's no such setting for the screen in general. I agree that the screen in this device is incredibly bright, and in complete dark you could turn it down a lot more. I'm typing this by daylight with screen brightness at minimum and I find it enough. Of course you need more if the screen is directly on the sun light, but no screen can compete with a nuclear furnace 1 million km wide.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
I don't see why people would want to have such a dim screen on their phone, 10% and below also...

What is the point in having a gorgeous nice and bright Amoled screen only using it at 0% brightness?

It's like me buying a Lamborghini and never going any quicker than 50mph...

The Note has such a wonderful screen and it's such a waste when it's dim most of the time...

My screen is on 90% brightness 24/7 and I get 2-3 days use out the phone.

Running my Note with 10 or 20% will get me an extra day or two out the battery but then it means looking at an ugly, dark & very dim screen...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piit79:
Maybe because it IS subjectively too bright in certain scenarios? Like at night for example? :) (The key work being subjectively.)

And for some, the battery life is more important than somewhat nicer looking screen - I find the screen good enough even at low brightness. The colour rendering naturally suffers, but it's not too bad.

Even at night...? I can't imagine looking into this 5.3" flashlight at night :) I feel sorry for your eyes ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticCat:
Well I use it at lowest stock setting 24/7 and it is too bright to my eyes for most situations.

I didn't buy the note for its screen only :)

Sounds like you don't use it enough :D I can't get 1 full day (16 hours) with mine at minimal brightness (and no it is not a wakelog or something I use it a lot)

A dim screen is not ugly, at least not to my eyes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
Haha, I love the screen and even at night I love the colours/brightness to be STRONG.

Any less than 50% brightness is too dark for me..

Maybe it's coz I sit a few feet away from my 32'' LED IPS TV & therefore I'm used to bright screens...

I just tried the screen brightness on 0% and it looks terrible, weak and washed out colours, I dunno how others are saying it's still too bright...

How do you guys do it? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason370:
in complete darkness, at 0% this screen is way too bright. it is absolutely terrible for your eyes to look into it when the lights are out and one absolutely needs some way to dim it further. i can tell you that if you think otherwise, you are damaging your eyes and might want to reconsider how you view screens in general.

best,

jason
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
I sometimes use my phone in bed at night and on the lowest setting the screen is too bright. It lights up the room and makes it difficult for my girlfriend to sleep. So I found some screen dimming apps and I'll use one or more of them at the same time to significantly dim the screen to an acceptable level.

The main one I use is adjustable: BackLightFilter

Others: Screen Filter, Dimmer (Night Mode)

I really wish CyanogenMod was available for the Note. It contains a Render Effect which lets you turn off red, green, blue, or a combination of those from your screen. I'd leave only red on for good night viewing. Anyone know of an apk or other way to implement this function without having it baked into a ROM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
If you are just reading, a book, or xda, it really doesn't matter what the colors are. It is annoying for many to read on a brightly lit screen. This is why the original kindle continues to sell well.

Has anyone been having problems with their HD2 touchscreen not responding after installing Mango?

I installed Mango on my HD2 and my sister's HD2 a few months ago and everything was fine on mine, but her touch screen was often unresponsive and now recently I'm experiencing the same issue. When I pull the battery and restart, it works but if I lock it, and then unlock it, it's back to not working and may work at random attempts. Even soft resetting doesnt always work.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] demosvk:
same problem here. any suggestions?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] misterlim:
its a multi-touch issue with our hd2's as our hardware only supports two-point multi-touch whereas wp7 devices support four. so you might notice some stuttering or the screen jittering around. as far as i know there is no fix other than buying an actual wp7 device... I've had similar issues with and without wp7 on my hd2. this is actually my second hd2 with the touch screen not responding or just acting weird.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] malkrae:
If you touch screen is not responding it is hardware and not software and is usually the Digitizer which is at fault and a common issue with the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] silver_surfer30:
Yes, i can confirm, it's hardware not software. Need to replace digitizer and lcd....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
before you go spend a fortune fixing something that might not be wrong i would suggest you try android out on another SD card to make sure the problem is common across all platforms

everyone seems to have forgotten that most issues on teh HD2 with WP7 are actually down to the SD card, however, over time it has been known for the HD2 to have digitizer issues.

anyhow, slap in a new SD card, install android via magldr to that SD card, and see how the screen is,

THEN you can confirm if its hardware or not. Thats a better way rather than sticking finger in the air and guessing ;)

the most common error for sluggish UI is actually the SD card, a card thats is less compatible than another card can give you random lockups, restarts, freezes, stuttering UI, now that is confirmed :)

Ok, looking for a TV to buy in the next few months for my GNex (Prime? GPrime?)

anyways I know Toshiba makes one for the Australian market only, but I'm in the US and I don't want to spend 2 grand on a TV

I'm looking for something with 3d and web enabled features (streaming netfilx and pandora and hulu and all that crap) along with being somewhat on the cheap side.

Vizio has some awesome deals for around $500-800 depending on your size (I currently own a 4 year old vizio 32"), only issue is they don't have MHL support (to my knowledge)

Is there anything available yet in what I'm looking for, or should I be waiting until CES for a million new TV's to be announced?

(I hate using janky adaptors when I could just find a TV with the capability built right in; MHL was designed to make it easier on us after all, amiright?)
