[Sony Tablet S] spoilingpets:
Finally I think I have my texting problem figured out!!!!

I am using google voice with my google voice number, I am using it for texting only and nothing else. I will port my number to the google voice when i am finally out of contract at Verizon.

So for now I want the texts to only come on the Sony Tablet S, but the texts are also coming on my phone. I need to stop them from coming to my phone, how do I do that?

Thank you

Sandy
[Sony Tablet S] plmiller0905:
I believe you have to get on your computer and go to the google voice n

Settings..and I believe its a setting in there somewher to disable your phone from receiving texts.

I use google voice on my table and it works great.
[Sony Tablet S] spoilingpets:
Now you have really excited me LOL, So now that I am checking out Google Voice. I have a phone number from them now. I have questions!

If I give this phone number out to everyone and they call me on the GV number does that mean I am not using minutes on my verizon plan? if that is the case how do you know for sure people are calling on the proper number? how do I dial out on that number from my phone and not the Verizon number?

I apologize but this is all new to me and I have to admit everyone here has been great at helping me learn all these new things!

Thank you so much

I have just gotten this phone a few weeks ago and so far i am having a great time. However, one of the biggest problems i have is toggling flight/airplane mode.

Whenever I turn on airplane mode and then it off, I have to reboot to get my mobile data back.

My phone is currently running CM7.

Any help would be appreciated..i have tried searching for a solution but i have found nothing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thisisit123:
bump....any1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghawton:
Yes this is a known bug with the alpha CM7 releases out there and I ran into it as well. After turning off flight mode you will notice that your APN's disappear and rebooting is the easiest way of getting them back and re-establishing your data connection. No other workarounds with the code at the level that it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
The current iteration of cm7 is an outdated bug ridden ROM. It is what it is and is not going to be fixed. Use something else and just wait till the new cm that Eugene and others is working on gets released.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thisisit123:
ah alright thanks again
[Dell Streak 7] rodalcaraz827:
I found somebody who is selling a Dell Streak 7 and he told me, "It turns on and works it just keeps telling me the sd needs to be reformated. Everytime you turn it off and back on you have to go through the set up process." If I were to buy it, would anybody be able to tell me how to fix the problem? Do you guys think it would be an easy fix and be worth buying for $100?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
It sounds like a "read-only" S7, but that's not a lot of details, if it is a read-only one it's worthless unless dell is willing to fix it. (as only valuable as parts)
[Dell Streak 7] rodalcaraz827:
I've tried searching, and I've read something about swapping the internal SD card. Have you heard anything about anyone doing this with any success?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You might be confusing advise for the Streak 5 which has an innerSD, the 7's nands are surface mount chips (ie soldered directly onto the board)
[Dell Streak 7] rodalcaraz827:
Well, thanks for the heads up. I was hoping it would be something I could fix myself.
[Dell Streak 7] jydie:
Wow... I sometimes wonder if Dell dropped the Streak 7 because of the read-only bug. Other than that, the unit is a powerhouse that performs very well. I wish Dell would release more information on the read-only issue... or somebody could figure out a relatively easy way to reset a read-only S7.

Mine has been doing great since the Dell reset last summer... but I make sure that the battery never drops below 15%. And I turn it off when not in use.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I've heard that it's an issue with all tegra2 devices and not simply the S7, cant confirm or deny it, only heard as a rumor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] newtype06:
I'm having issues getting flash player to work properly on CM7, I install but it acts as if it isn't. In my browser it just shows a lego brick in the middle of the screen.

I've done plenty of searching and haven't found any answers.

Also, does anyone know how to properly install Swype on CM7?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
your best bet would be to ask on the website you downloaded it from.good luck tho dude.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] newtype06:
I'm surprised no one here is talking or even has any links to CM7 for E4GT. For the most part it's solid, but I don't want to be without flash. Looks like I'll be using MIUI simply so I can use my wiimote.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Hi all, I know that there are a couple of threads about the OTA already but they're all fragmented and not quite helpful, so I thought I'd pitch in.

Today an OTA of 2.3.6 was publicly released for the A2. Although it's not ICS, or even 2.3.7, it's still much more stable and faster. Here's some of the details:

-Much improved camera app! (The original was pretty faulty)

-Enhanced keyboard

-Possibly the first AT&T bloatware to ever be useful, with visual voicemail and ---Syncing of texts/calls to the cloud

-Improved Hotspot and Webtop

-Fixes to any problems with haptic feedback

-Call ending does not lag! (as much)

-Uses MUCH less RAM

For all the details check out this link.

At the moment no one has discovered a root protocol for our version of 2.3.6... i.e. it can't be rooted. I personally have tried flashing/reflashing the fxz, updating, and trying different exploits, all of which has failed. I doubt that we will find a way to root this 2.3.6 any time soon. However, the devs here are working hard at implementing 2.3.6 with root in their ROMs. (The latest Supercharged ROM is based off of 2.3.6!) If you want to have your device rooted with 2.3.6 and you're currently on 2.3.5 (rooted), follow these instructions:

With a root explorer, navigate to /system/bin/ and edit the mount_ext3.sh file. If you used a 1-click root method, then add the following lines to the end of the file (if you manually rooted then you might want to omit the 1st/2nd line):

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

To apply the update, go to Settings->About Phone->System update and it should prompt you to update. Make sure you're connected to wifi and then hit "OK". If you have heavily modified your phone then I suggest that you flash the fxz first, then root it, then apply the hack above, then update. Also, although the A2 has the ability to uninstall most bloatware without rooting, the update requires that ALL BLOATWARE MUST BE INSTALLED. If you uninstalled any bloatware then you will have to flash the fxz first.

NOTE: once you apply the update you will NEVER be able to flash the 2.3.5 fxz! You need to replace some files first! To flash the fxz, follow these directions:

-Download this file: View attachment 887221

-Unzip it and move all the the items in it to the stock fxz. You might get a warning about replacing files, just click OK. NOTE that Windows might not be able to handle the size of the fxz. I have 6 GB RAM but Windows still wasn't able to perform a drag-and-drop through the fxz's zip. I recommend that you just unzip the fxz and then put the files in. (You don't have to rezip it either, RSD Lite will still recognize it and will flash faster).

-You should be able to use RSD Lite to flash the file.

Please note that this is not a support thread, it is an info/how-to thread... if you have any problems then make a thread about it, and be as detailed as possible.

Enjoy!
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I recommend closing this thread so that is doesn't turn in to another OTA support thread.
[Motorola Atrix 2] guapinoy:
Does anybody have cdt.bin and device_tree.bin from 2.3.6? I think that my /cache was erased by FXZ so I can't pull it using ADB.

edit: Thanks So Much to Jim!!!!

I think I've just about covered it for any noobs, and anybody with a real problem will probably post a new thread about it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mic_crispy:
I also noticed that it ends calls much quicker now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Thanks cogeary

HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE BEGINNERS THREAD , under rooting and flashing the FXZ
[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
Full details of update: http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...65/ATT/RN_ATRIX2_55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.htm

Oh, and...

NO CARRIER IQ!!! http://imgur.com/5k0js

This is on a rooted, but not modded phone running 2.3.6 (will post phone info if asked for verification). Haven't frozen any apps either. YAY!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sharpshooterrr:
Do apps installed on SD card still go missing?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alcatel444:
Good question . I am wondering too?
[Motorola Atrix 2] mic_crispy:
My battery life is better as well..

Placebo?!
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
The issue appears to be resolved with this update.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nickyb03:
Major improvement in battery life
[Motorola Atrix 2] razholio:
I noticed an oddity with my update. I shelled in to apply the forever_root hack and thought I'd watch /cache/ for the update file. (btw, in the absence of vi, echo "yer text" >>' works quite well) I started the update download and watched a new file show up in /cache. There were two:

Blur_Version.55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US.crc

Blur_Version.55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip

but these have the old MB865 OS version, what gives?

the update completed and says I have the new 55.13.25 OS.

btw, root was preserved and the update went fine after unfreezing all bloatware.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mic_crispy:
I knew i wasnt the only one. It really is better.

Keyboard seems more accurate. The vibration feedback is much less intense now.

I really like this update. Makes the almost perfect phone that much more perfect.

Since the app install issue is gone, memory card issue gone (i had to buy a new card), better battery life. I cant think of anything id change.
[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
Except ICS would be nice...
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
Surprising to see you having battery life improvements. My battery life has actually significantly decreased.... :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Good to hear the SDCard problem is finally solved.

Awesome, thanks for pointing that out! No CIQ for me as well!
[Motorola Atrix 2] souvik1997:
I just attempted to upgrade to 2.3.6 today, and it seems to be in a boot loop. It does the M logo with the ripples and proceeds to the AT&T thing, but then restarts? Is this normal? What should I do?

edit: i pulled the battery, but it doesn't fix anything

edit2: I'm reflashing the 2.3.5 fxz through RSD Lite, I hope this works
[Motorola Atrix 2] SeekerLoki:
Your on the right track. My guess is you were rooted and removed something the patch affects. Likely one of the bloatware apks. Good luck!
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
If the update failed at the beginning then flashing the stock fxz is what you should do. If the stock fxz fails to flash then that means that your phone was at least partly updated, so follow the instructions for flashing the fxz from 2.3.6 in the OP.

Either way you are on the right track.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Now once you get back to stock, instead of installing it through OTA just flash the new deodexed 2.3.6 zip lfaber06 just put out. This way you will have root and will be able to change between 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 as you please!
[Motorola Atrix 2] d.cortez:
quick note on the deodexed 2.3.6 rom: the volume buttons are not working at the moment. i just read the thread and an update is not yet available.
[Motorola Atrix 2] allonon:
This has been a frustrating upgrade.

First time I was having issues getting facebook and exchange to sync contacts properly. Wiped and rebuilt.

Second time I kept rebooting after the sdcard finally loaded. (wow does that take a long time). Of course it didn't present itself until a reboot after I reloaded all my apps.

I'm trying to figure out what app doesn't like being on the sdcard now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sharpshooterrr:
Does this mean the SD card issue still persists in the update?
[Motorola Atrix 2] sumnerm1:
I started with a super one click rooted 2.3.5, not modded.

Used file manager text editor to add the 3 lines of code at end and saved edit.

I went back to look at file after saving, but did not see the 3 lines of code.

Did OTA 2.3.6 with no hang ups.

Retained Superuser and complete root on updated 2.3.6.

Hope this helps somebody!:o
[Motorola Atrix 2] d.cortez:
i hope not. BUT.... this morning after powering off the phone to swap batteries, all of my contact pictures for my exchange contacts were gone (e.g., not associated with the contact). the pictures are still on my 16GB microSD card. this is the 3rd time this has happened. if the blah Exchange service worked right this would be an issue for me. FYI, this is with the Stock Odexed and rooted version of 2.3.6. *sigh*
[Motorola Atrix 2] allonon:
It seems to be fixed. I haven't lost any programs on the card yet. It is just really slow loading all the apps on a boot. almost 2 minutes before they show up. I just made sure only games are moved the card
[Motorola Atrix 2] allonon:
As a followup to this. Looks like there is some limit to the number of Apps the A2 is willing to scan when initializing the sdcard. Phone rebooted over the weekend and I went into a boot loop after sdcard initialization.

Since the reboot only happened after the apps were scanned I moved them all out of the .android-secure directory. and the phone was stable. I had about 130 games and apps in there so I moved them back in batches of 20 and moved the important ones back to the phone. After I finished I had dwindled that down to about 60 left on the card.

Have not lost any apps and have rebooted several times since then with no issues. the app scan really sped up as well.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Shaliuno:
Did someone notice?

In 2.3.5 there were two Gallery aps, standard 3D and Blur.

In 2.3.6 only Blur left?

C/D ?

NVM, found it
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Does anyone have the update.zip for the OTA 2.3.6 handy?

I keep getting timed out when trying to OTA update from stock 2.3.5
[Motorola Atrix 2] kirkgbr:
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but...

http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-2_Software_Update_workround
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Thanks man, appreciate it. But both of those are patch files for 2.3.6. Thanks though!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
BUMP?

Anyone?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
This should be it!

Can you confirm by tring to flash it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
HA! I go all day at work. Without being able to download it. It kept saying that update was unavailable. And then boom... Literally as I got home, read your post, plugged in my USB cable to drop the file on my phone, the update window for it came up. SHEESH. FINALLY gonna get on the ICS train... I've felt so left out...

Anyways, I can say this, I looked at the file, and it's size and compared it to the own I am downloading OTA, they are the same. So that's the one! I'm going to PM JRW and ask him to post it on the noob thread for everyone's benefit. Thanks Farshad! It's appreciated man!
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
BTW credit to Cogeary for uploading it!

One thing I don't get though is if you look here http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-E...date_workround

you can download the same file... but if you look at were it says "see example" of before and after both of them are 2.3.6. So i was wondering of this was a patch within 2.3.6.

But can you confirm it updated correctly to 2.3.6.?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
I actually can't man. I updated OTA at the last second.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kc92iyngr:
Can we use this d/l to update to ICS instead ota from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope. You can use it in place of the 2.3.6 OTA, so that you don't have to download it from Moto's servers, since they are all up and down a lot right now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] totalcontrol:
different build version

i have this system version: 55.11.11.MB865.ATT.en.us

Android Version:2.3.5

Webtop Version :WT-1.3.0-133_EDI-7

Which version is this? i thought it was 55.11.16

and should i start rooting and CWM from here or flash it to 55.11.16

also when i goto about phone and say update it says you phone is up to date!

I'm not sure about everyone else but my rerouting process takes a while. When you miss a turn it doesn't reroute right then it'll stuck on reroute process untill you get back on track or maybe wait for two three minute and it'll find new route. Is not like a real gps that reroute instantly. Yes, my gps lock perfect and fast when turn on. Any fix to this?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] LeoBloom.:
When I got my transformer I immediately felt that browsing on it was a little uncomfortable when compared to the control I have on a desktop computer. I've noticed one poorly executed function was the PC equivalent of a "mouseover" or "hover" function. It made opening hover menus in a browser or controlling a flash video player a bit awkward, although still functional.

I've recently stumbled upon on 2010 article on why a Flash developer believes that flash would not work on the iPad, but many of the points that he makes are very valid given the implementation of flash that we have on our transformers.

http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2010/02/20/an-adobe-flash-developer-on-why-the-ipad-cant-use-flash/

I was just wondering if this was something you've all noticed and perhaps if you have your own ideas as to how a mouseover functionality could have been better implemented in android.

Also, I've once tried to bring this up in another topic which ended up getting closed, so let's try to keep that from happening.

Thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SiNJiN76:
Multitouch. Tap with 2 fingers to "hover".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] LeoBloom.:
I think that a double tap would be a good solution for something like bringing up flash player controls without pausing the video.

What about scrubbing the video? For instance, with youtube you can use your mouse and move it (without clicking) along the progress bar while being shown the exact time in the video that you are currently pointing at. This obviously makes rewinding and fast forwarding much easier on a computer. I suppose on a tablet you would double tap and then drag your finger, as per this implementation?

EDIT: Wow, I'm sorry I totally misunderstood. You actually mean't using two fingers as opposed to double tapping with one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I'll be brutally honest. You've got what I like to call not-used-to-something-that-is-new syndrome.

I'm sure when the personal computer first came out, people were crying left and right that typing on the computer was uncomfortable compared to the typewriter. In fact, if you go back long enough, I'm sure people were whining left and right that the page turning book format was uncomfortable to read compared to the scrolls. Heck, why stop there? I'm sure writing with ink was really awkward and uncomfortable to those who were used to the chisel and hammer.

The fact of the matter is every time a new technology came up, there would undoubtedly be resistance to the change. I have no doubt that there were arguments against Gutenberg's invention (the printing press).

I say the advantages of the tablet far outweighs the disadvantages. And please don't start arguing that the tablet could never replace your pc. No one is making such claim.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] LeoBloom.:
That was unnecessary.

The question here is how to make the "hover" functionality more intuitive.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BULL3TPR00F:
i think a multitouch or swipe gesture would be the best option.

for example with the mousover menus, if u could quickly swipe across said menu to have it show the options.

not sure if its viable but who knows

or even a double tap. tap once to open the menu, tap again to select an entry or go to the main link
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
The problem is that a multitouch would register as a zoom function, not a hover function.. Computer analyses aren't good enough to tell the difference between two points of contact with relatively stable distance between them vs two points of contact moving away (because it's sensitive right now..?).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hearmeman:
