[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tixed:
Hi there. I need to recommend some apps for my friend. He's a senior businessman, has been using Symbian phone for a while but now it's outdated, and he wants to replace it with new and shiny. Why not Android phone then?

So, the main features that he needs are:

- larger fonts everywhere (maybe some kind of the accessability app).

- "spoof" app that would generate ambient sounds during conversation ("sorry, I'm in an airport, cant hear you... what?... ").

- app for recording conversation, both caller and owner side, without any discernable signs of it being recorded (it could be unpleasant for the caller to know about recording).

- good blacklisting app, for obvious reasons (calls, SMS, etc.).

Few of them may sound quite weird, but, well, that's what he's asking for.

I'd be digging the Market also for these, but first I want to know of any 'tried-and-true' examples, if you can recommend them.

I'm not sure iOS have apps for such purposes, but if any of Apple fans would see this topic - you may recommend them also. It's a bit easier to use, after all. Not trying to start a holywar :)

effective but not elegant solution - talk back

I Mute my n7. Then turn on talk back (settings>accessibility). Took me awhile to figure out how to do the gestures. Two fingers for scrolling (important when you are in the settings menu trying to turn talk back off ;) You can even still use the touch screen while reading without having to worry about touching something accidentally. You just have to hold the page for a moment where you want to click, and then double tap the screen. Same goes for all the buttons you need to press to get into and out of your eBook. It even remembers where you held last so you can just double tap anywhere after the first time. The only things that don't require a hold then double tap are keyboards and keypads.

Ok, this may be a totally dumb question, but how the hell do I control/interact with Google Earth on my Nexus (4.0.2). I cannot seem to get it to tilt and pan etc using touch. I see no other icons or menus with control options? Am I missing something simple?

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
Uninstall and redownload.

Terminators run on Android :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Ok. I'll try that. but this was the pre-installed Earth that came on my phone. Not sure I can uninstall. will try though. It's updated itself since I got the phone so should have the latest version, but will try. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
Ok I uninstalled the updates to the app, but I cannot uninstall this "system app". So I disabled it, forced stop. Enabled it again and will now download updates to make it 6.1 again.

I'm not sure what I should be seeing when using this app. There are no controls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dannytk:
Just go to market and search for your application on the menus, then press your app Earth and there will be an option to update.. That's what i've done.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
I have the very latest google earth from the market. 6.1 something.

Here is a screenshot. Does this look right? how do I tilt the screen to get the 3d angle? all I can do is drag around, and rotate. I cannot tilt so I can see topography?

ARGH. Im sure its just me not knowing how to use it. :confused:

Screen shot - where are the tilt controls?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flanimal:
I too would like to learn how to tilt the view in Google Earth.

But I am bemused by the responses so far. Why is it necessary to uninstall and reinstall? Are you suggesting that the factory installation (with updates) is somehow broken?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] richB7:
Use two fingers to rotate/tilt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewstiff:
Hold two fingers to the screen and instead of pinching, just slide both up or down to change viewing angle or rotate them in a circular motion around a centred point in order to spin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet11:
I thought so, because the OP said other icons and controls were also missing. I also did not realize it was a system app (it was a Market app on my Fascinate and treated by my ROM as a user app)

How the hell did I not figure that out!! Never used multi-touch in that way before.

Thats great. Exactly the solution I needed. thank you.

I've been using touchscreen for 2 years, so I cannot be the first person not to figure that out. No hint on the app itself or help about how to do that.

anyway, cheers ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flanimal:
Thanks to all from me too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
Google maps works the exact same way. If you go to maps and drag 2 fingers down you will get that "3d" view. It's cool. They must be trying to get some continuity from app to app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Although I'd agree it's not massively obvious in the app, there's always Menu > Help. Which has this to say:

Spotted the problem? The "Look Around" button doesn't seem to exist any more, so the help is out of date! Wonderful.

I can confirm the "two finger draggy-spin" method works fine though :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Usmankhan11_12:
I know the solution. This was happening to me too but i figured out. This is how to do it. Enable auto rotation open Google earth and tilt your device then hold two fingers and swipe downward or upward. I hope i helped so thank me. Ok!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dzags:
So I have a motorola roadster, whenever I hit the smart button it pulls up the samsung voice command. It is annoying because it tells me how many missed calls I have every time whether I have checked them or not. I have to completely delete them from my history to make it stop. It also doesnt always immediatwly listen when I press the button, sometimes it just loads the app and I have to press it again. I would like to switch it with the basic google voice search where just the microphone pops up. Anyone know of a way to change what the bluetooth button does?

What is the best Custom Rom for Compatibily and game performance ?? Please answer !!! I mostly play games on my mini, but someone work on a rom adn others work on other rom. Please tell me
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chepoz:
Stock rom is the best for playing games.

So, use stock or Emanon.

That's my opinion, maybe someone else have different opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Andy98:
Now I use Andro-ID v3.2 and I have a benchmark of 1432. I think it sucks ...

More opinions ??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A5D:
use cm7.2

i play a lot of games.... including games like asphalt....

flash cm7.2 ,get chainfire 3d plugin , overclock at 782Mhz kernel by squadzone,and no frills cpu .....and game on
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Andy98:
What benchmark cm 7.2 has ? ? Emanom has aprox 1800
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] GenomeX:
with 782mHz get 2052 score (with other CM tweakies)

with stock clock(600 mHz) get 1708 ( with other tweakies like SD cach on 4048, 16-bite ..., Hipe size on 64, system control tweaky and other CM setting.)

CM 7.1 or 7.2 is best rom for gamer but have little bugs ( fix soon ...! )

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesixeight:
Hi...

I've been using my iPad 2 sim in my Galaxy Note without issues (using APN: broadband). But I've noticed I've been getting pretty slow speeds - just 3G, not HSPA+ "aka AT&T fake 4G speeds".

I plan to get the IMEI from a AT&T 4G tablet, like a Galaxy Tab 10.1 or a Acer tablet. Will AT&T allow me to switch the IMEI on my iPad plan?

Also, what APN should I use?

I've read a lot about using smartphone plans, but I couldn't find anything about getting full HSPA+ speeds using iPad sim.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
The Broadband APN and the Phone APN both use the same address space, so they're both on the new backhaul. Your data speeds on the Phone APN should be about the same as what you'd get on Broadband. Also, if you have a tethering option on your smartphone plan, you can still use the Broadband APN anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] h34v3ns3nt:
Hey up,

I have a QNAP-TS410 NAS at home on its own domain, via DynDNS

and (for the most part) I've got my head around SSH Tunnels and realised just how good they are.

Having the SSH tunnel up allows me to route all port traffic through SSH, including AFP, SMB, HTTP, HTTPS etc and close those equivalent ports on my router.

For example, I noticed when I opened an SMB port on my router my NAS would get spammed by break and entry bots. So for me SSH Tunnels are the only way to go now.

Additionally, being able to open an obscure port number for SSH on my router instead of the default 22, makes it very secure and additionally reduces the overheads on the NAS itself.

From my laptop I can establish an SSH Tunnel and mount NAS shares when Im away from home, either via local WiFi or a WiFi tether + 3g connection provided by my HTC Desire HD (rooted, ARHD) I accomplish this via a Mac OS X app called 'SSH Tunnel Manager' or via 'Terminal' with a few command line and simply use the link as a pipe. Great!

I also downloaded an app from Android Market called 'SSHTunnel' for my Desire HD (not sure if anyone is aware of it or not) it seems very feature rich.

I can use it to tunnel any/all web traffic from any app on my phone through the tunnel and out from my NAS at home. Ive had to tweak the SSHD config file on the NAS to allow TCPforwarding etc..

Testing on whatismyip.com, the default browser on my phone correctly reports my home WAN IP. Effectively a SOCKS proxy. Resulting in SUPER SECURE browsing anywhere in the world.

I found out though, there is no built in support on the iPad for a SOCKS proxy, you can only do HTTP Proxies, requiring something like Squid being setup, which would serve the actual web pages itself. I don't need or want this functionality, I simply want to route any/all traffic from the iPad through the tunnel and then out from my home WAN. So I needed a workaround of sorts.

Then it got me thinking...

Can I WiFi tether my iPad to my Phone whilst a SSH Tunnel is active via 'SSHTunnel' app?

If possible, *and I'm right in thinking* this should then create a global SOCKS proxy to allow all iOS apps to communicate through the tunnel?

However, I'm not entirely sure of the actual addresses I would be configuring in each app.

Anybody had experience of this?
[Android Apps and Games] Gihan Zami:
I know this is quite old but if you're still looking for one you can get Web Tunnel. It's much better than other tunneling tools.

When multiple calendar notifications comes up, is there a way to select what do do with each one? By default, the only optons i see are "snooze all" and "dismiss all". What if i want to snooze one and dismiss another? This is quite annoying.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ADB100:
I have a custom ROM based on the official 2.3.5 ROM (3.12.405.1) and the HTC WiFi Hotspot application doesn't work. The app starts and wireless devices can associate with it and lease IP addresses via DHCP but they can't access the Internet. I think its a NAT problem in the application because I can resolve names from my PC as the phone is proxying the DNS lookups - i.e. open a command prompt on my PC and type 'nslookup www.google.com' and I get valid answers. If I try to access the Internet with the browser it fails.

I have downloaded android-wifi-tether and this works as long as the 'Routing Fix' is checked in the settings. I was hoping not to have to have this alternate WiFi Tether application and use the integrated one.

Just tested USB Tethering and the results are the same - i.e. PC gets an IP address and can resolve names but can't access the Internet. I assume this is something fundamental in the NAT/Routing being done by the phone?

Andy
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Patrics83:
Really weird... Sounds like your mobile data connection is down. (I'm sure you already checked that)

Flash some other ROM with same base and try.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ADB100:
I can access the Internet on the phone when its running so I know there is connectivity. As I say I think its something fundamental with the NAT/routing on the phone - I am not sure how to debug it further?

Andy
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ADB100:
I am not sure why but this fixed it for me:

http://androidforums.com/1734672-post32.html

I assume with Orange the WiFi Hotspot App uses this 'Consumer Broadband' connection and not the default 'Orange Internet' connection. I was tempted to delete the 'Consumer Broadband' APN and see what happens, a job for another day though as I need to use it at the moment.

only high end smartphones can
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shiftyHungary:
Still, what use would we get of that?:D

Evenif the touchscreenwas capable of handling 3 or more touches, the hardware surely die on that...Just try to two-finger-largen a website whichisn't optimised for mobiles...Hardware starts thinking about what to do :D And doesn't finish thinking about it for longlasting seconds...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ares93:
^ Good point, mate.

On a software level it can be done. I have multitouch support on me ZTE Light (single touch resistive) But it wont enable you to use more than two fingers. It'll just fool the phone into thinking it and allow apps that require it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] u-foka:
I don't know what sensor is in our gio but actually galaxy 3 can handle up to 5 touch points with custom kernels... not a really high-end modell btw...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] shiftyHungary:
As we've said previously, our phone could also handle more than 2 touches, but since we couldn't get any single use of it, but freezing the phone off, nobody yet tried to tweak it out.

Still, it's your turn to do it ;)

[HTC Sensation] raddy:
Hello Everybody

I just got my recently purchased HTC Sensation mobile phone.

It is a used one and without physical volume button.

I was using T-Mobile G2X till now.

Here are the major problems i am experiencing.

1) Loud speaker volume is so much low comparing to my already below average T-Mobile G2X, i can only hear 40% of the sound volume that i heard in T-Mobile G2X, i have increased all volumes to full in Sensation via settings, but no improvement.

Very annoying, actually HTC Sensation's sound volume output should be very much higher than G2X according to specifications and reviews.

2) There is no option to disconnect call using power button, that is really very important feature for me.

3) Answer call via shake call's proximity sensor is not working, that is also very important feature.

As of now, these are the teething issues, i'll update this thread if experienced more.
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
1. this is a pretty common complaint. my complaint isnt that its not loud enough but its not clear enough. garbage speaker if you ask me. there are apps that can make it louder but its probably not recommended since it may damage your speaker

2. the proximity sensor should turn on the screen when you move the phone away from your ear. If its off, 2 buttons to end a call isnt that much work and if the power button was used to disconnect the call then how would you turn on the screen to browse contacts, press numbers, etc while your in a call?

3. um im not sure what that is, is it a app that does this?
[HTC Sensation] raddy:
Speaker appears to be real garbage.

I tried volume + application, but it certainly didn't made any world of difference as some says.

I request people who greatly experienced a difference to share their firmware version.

The display would turn on always using proximity sensor.

I may not be watching the device when I use it as a phone.

So I find it very hard to find the button to answer or disconnect the call.

For disconnecting purpose I used "power button to disconnect the call." Feature and used shake call to magically attend the calls by just lifting the mobile phone to ear.

I think l can work around these problems by install a custom vanilla firmware.

But that is not my intention, as I would have been using the g2x itself for that.

I hope I would return the mobile phone to the seller by Monday.
[HTC Sensation] raddy:
Hello everybody

The seller now says that this is a common issue in the mobile phone so I won't be accepting returns.

So I decided to find solutions for my issues once again.

Here is a 10 cycle battery mod

Instructions:copy "framework-res.apk"to your PC

Rename .apk to .rar(zip) then right click"framework-res.rar"then extract it with WinRAR(WinZip)

Enter framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi and select"stat_sys_battery_0.png" to "stat_sys_battery_100.png",total 101 pictures which from your sources folder and copy all of them to the destination,replace older files like these

When you finish doing that back to find folder"framework-res",then use WinRAR to compress it to a .APK file the"archive name" is end with .apk And "Compression method" is "Store"

Modify the attribution of this apk!Its attribution is "rw-r--r--"

Modify with Root Explorer or other programs and now copy "framework-res .apk in system/app

Reboot and enjoy.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Uan_ar:
Thank you very much.

Let me tell you my experience:

I tried this method but it didn't work out in my case, i got bootloop always. After some research, it seems that i got a problem with the sign of the file, and this is what i did and worked out:

Fase 1:

a) be root;

b.) copy with root explorer (or somelike app) from system/framework the file framework-res.apk to the SD;

c) move it to the PC;

d) in the PC, you have to got all the icons you wish to change into a folder;

e) there, open with winrar or 7zip (this is wich i used) the file framework-res (don't rename, just choose 7zip to open that file), go to \res\drawable-hdpi (you browse with 7zip);

f) with Windows Explorer open the folder in wich you have the icons you want to put into framework-res, select all the files, and just drag and drope it into the window within 7zip and where you have open framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi;

g) close the window of winrar o 7zip.

Fase 2:

h) copy the file framework-res.apk from PC to SD;

i) there move it with Root Explorer to System and chane permissions to rw-, r--, r-- (you can´t change permissions in SD);

j) then move the file framework-res.apk from system to system/framework

k) reboot and done!!

Advice: altaugh the icons you copy are ready to go from 1% to 1%, it doesn't mean it will work in your device. You have to modify something else that (yet) i don't Know.

See you all.
