[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Yesterday after I finished a phone call (I was driving) and hung up, I received a screen that was in all white with an ok button at the bottom that said something about a 10-day trial for city.

I didnt have a chance to read this as I hit the ok button thinking that I was going to be hitting the apps icon (I didnt expect this to pop up).

So, what is this? Am I automatically going to be charged after ten days? Do I need to call ATT to cancel this thing?

Thanks in advance...

*sigh* Im getting so pissed off at these ploys to try and get more money out of me. There are alot of free apps that will do this (or one time purchases) and why I would need to pay a service fee for this feature is beyond me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sh4dow1:
Its an app that lets you try it for free for 10 days after that it will let you decide if you want to buy it or not
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenderchkn:
If you find it useful (which I sort of do), just clear data every 10 days and you'll have an infinite trial. It doesn't automatically charge you, so there's no risk of keeping it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
The app shows what city an incoming call is coming from. Really only useful for unidentified numbers, but still pretty useless to pay for. If you clear data every ten days, I suppose it would be ok to have, but idk if it's even worth that much hassle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
City ID is not just an app that you pay once. It's a monthly subscription service. If you didn't opt out after trial ended, you will be charged every month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Seriously?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Snarksneeze:
You'll see the charge on your AT&T bill. Not sure if this would happen to users on T-Mobile or other carriers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Yes. It happened to me on my prior AT&T Android phone. What a scam!

I called AT&T after I saw the charge last year and they removed it and future charges. But what a hassle...I really can't believe a company like AT&T that tries to be professional allows that type of software.

Seems like the media complains about every other scam...why not this??

oh well.

Just make sure to check your AT&T bill.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
This happened to me today..got the pop up but backed out of it. damn. I iked it when i first got the phone. No idea you had to pay!! I did however look in the mkt and i saw one that said no monthly fees......?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
Almost all the bloatwae AT&T put on the phone require monthly subscription. A one time purchase doesn't warrant AT&T's trouble to put onto your phone.

All carriers do this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
This is one of the first apps I froze when I rooted my Note..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Lovely, yet another thing I need to look for... *sigh*.

Luckily, most of the bloatware is uninstallable without root so I have uninstalled alot of it. To my knowledge, the only thing left on my phone that costs is ATT Navigation (and this hidden CityID thing) which I was able to use Go Launcher to hide the app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vivilxw:
Hi,

just want to check, if I freeze this app using Titanium Backup within 10 days, I won't get a bill? or I need to call ATT for a cancellation? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
If you never see a prompt from City ID ask for you to continue using it, you are fine. You don't even need to freeze or uninstall it if you want. Just make sure you said 'NO' to the message box and it will go away.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Judah001:
When I connect my phone on el29 via Bluetooth with my car stereo I have no issues swapping back and forth from music to phone calls. An issue that I have encountered with fc07 is that I can only choose one or the other and there is a lag between connecting to radio and phone calls. For example on fc07 I am listening to Pandora and my phone rings and I answer no problem with Bluetooth. Once I hang up the call Pandora begins to play through my phone before it reconnects back to the car stereo. On el29 I don’t have this issue so when the call ends Pandora will start back up on Bluetooth right away. I am not sure if this is a bug or if ICS just separates the Bluetooth connections unlike GB which seems to migrate the two functions. I know in pervious build of ICS Bluetooth has some issues but I have not been able to pinpoint this as an issue. I am running Phantom Hacker 4.0 el29 and ran Calkulin’s 1.1 ICS. Any ideas on this?

In the Google Voice app there is a section in settings that says "Ask every time you call" But when I use it, and try to call someone, it lags so much... Like I dial several times and it still doesn't work. Then after like a minute it will call, but often times it I push the home button and the call exits. Then this repeats again but this time its slightly faster. I was wondering if anybody else experience this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
ive tried using the app.. problem is it lags and is slow. i havent experienced your specific issue, however i had so many of my own that i uninstalled the app.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I have had no issues with Google voice and I have it prompt every call won't prompt if no area code.

Other than that works like a charm (I prefer it that way myself).

If you try the following out has a good shot at possibly correcting your issue if it is something general:

Try clearing your cache and dalvick cache then fix permissions (all found in recovery menus).

Reboot (will take a couple Min for cache Regen).

Then go to manage apps> voice and clear it's app cache.

Now, rerun voice to reset settings and try it out

(always have to go to settings and change voicemail provider twice as first time fails myself but it goes through second time. Skip that part in setup wizard though.)

Same here, I don't have any problems with GV.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatlaoboi:
what is the dalvick cache in the stock download mode (i think thats what its called)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
No you have to use a non stock recovery menu or I believe apps from market may offer it though they Matt or may not require root.

Otherwise factory reset on stock phones will kill dalvick and normal cache as part of its process.

Though you will lose apps and settings with factory reset unlike using cwm or other recovery image to specifically wipe dalvick cache.

Same with fix permissions it is found in advanced menu of cwm recovery menu

I have a different issue. I also choose "ask every time you call" option and when I want do call someone and select google voice option, it reverts to my regular dial and phone call is made thru T-mobile network rather than google voice.

I tried to reboot, reinstall the app, same result. Google voice is not working for me.

Stock T-Mobile GSII.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] giedrys:
Bump for this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
This is because of the tmobile id app remove it. It wont let you make any international calls either. The one problem is that when you make calls it will say calling via google voice and show a %(problem with all samsung phones) instead of an actual number no worries though it will still call through google voice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iwasblown:
Just try to clear the app cache first
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iwasblown:
Also if you are using voice to call make sure you gave a working Data connection
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
You realize that data actually has NOTHING to do with google voice?? Unless you are using something like GrooveIP or the like , to route googlevoice calls via Gtalk, it still uses your cell network and minutes????

Google voice is a callout system, it dials a google phone number, and normally you don't get to see this, waits for the other end to ring, and then gives you the ring, and spoofs the Caller ID on the other end.

That is how Google Voice is handled on the phone, now on the PC whole different animal ....

BUT GV on the phone DOES and always has used your cell minutes ... Look it up , it is fact ....

(that statement was a little broad)

GV does use data for texts and voicemail, figured I should clarify , as well as account registration ....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] giedrys:
Any way to do that without rooting the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Sorry I wouldn't know. You can stay on stock with root access. Freeze the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wtang:
I beg to differ. I know GV uses my cell phone minutes, and I'm willing to believe GV uses the T-mobile cell network during the call. But I'm certain GV needs a data connection to initiate the voice call. There's a shopping mall I go to regularly where I get a cell signal but no data signal, not even EDGE. When I try to dial out using GV, it hangs for 15-20 seconds, then an error message pops up saying there's no data connection found, and it asks if I want to connect the call using the cellular network. If I choose yes, the call is connected fine. I'm not sure why GV needs a data connection to initiate a call, but it definitely does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
just turned off all data on my phone and made a call, no data used ...

EDIT: But you are right to a point ... if you let your phone set for a couple of minutes, the GV login will expire, and the call will fail .. so yes we are both right, it does not need data for the call, but it does need data to verify your GV account ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] giedrys:
Is this true? Can someone confirm?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
Yes, as long as you are using the cell phone number that is connected to the gv number. but if you make calls on gmail, then it won't use your t-mobile minutes.

and to answer the other question in regards to internet and gv. you will need to be connected to the internet in order to make a gv call.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightkidskyline:
Hi All

First time here. I'm a G1 owner since the start (Still using it daily with no problem) but only recently got into modifying the G1. I would like if someone can recommend me a suitable build combination (ROM/SPL/Radio) for tethering on a Android netbook/tablet (Transformer Prime). I've tried a few combination after reading on this website, currently on DreamTeam Froyo but all of them struggled with bluetooth and wireless connection hence the tethering problem.

I was quite happy with my 1.6 G1, living in ignorance bliss until I started playing with ice cream sandwich on the Prime. How much has Android grown up!

Appreciate any advice anyone can give in helping me with this tethering issue.

Thanks,
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Just about any rom will work once your phone is rooted, just make sure your tablet will work with an ad hoc network because I know some don't. Once rooted and rom picked out (dosent matter if the rom has wifi problems because your not using it) download a tethering app from market set that up and your good
[HTC Incredible S] zippylufc:
has anyone else had the problem where the rom wont send any texts over 1 message long? Using GO SMS pro, and noticed any texts im sending that are using over 1 message are saying message not sent, then saying it has been sent but the recipent is not actually receiving the message.

any message that is just a standard message seems fine and receiving all messages as far as I can tell is fine aswell. just sending either more than one at once or an extended length message.

any help appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefunkyjoint:
Hi,

I've been on the last hours reading a lot of tutorials in this forum to avoid to post what is already answered. But i'm still confused, maybe a good soul can help me out : )

So far, i installed GNex Toolkit and the drivers successfully and i can enter in recovery mode, so the Toolkit is correctly identifying my device,

but i did not choose any option yet.

I have a Nexus GSM with stock rom 4.0.2. My goal is to update to 4.0.3 so i can apply some mods to invert menus and google apps color ; i like to use the device with white font over black background and i can't do it with the stock version.

So here is my noob questions :)

1 - I've downloaded the Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) rom ; i found strange because it seem to be a Milestone 4 rom, is that correct ?

2 - Can i apply the rom directly or do i need to apply a 4.0.3 'stock' rom before it ?

3 - As far as i understood, to flash a new rom i will :

1 - Reboot my phone in recovery mode

2 - Open Toolkit, choose the option 7 to unlock bootloader and root, and then option 12 to flash the new rom.

Is this correct ?

I miss a tutorial specific for flash new roms with Toolkit...

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Yes, that is correct.

You can flash it at once... No need for flashing "Stock" 4.0.3.

Provided that your Phone is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader and you have a custom recovery like CWM: yes.

Look at MSKIPS thread (I assume you have his toolkit) for further guidance. Unlocking your Bootloader will wipe your data so if you want that saved you should make a backup.

Steps:

1. Unlock Bootloader

2. Root

3. Flash CWM Recovery

4. Wipe data/cache

5. Flash ROM

6. Flash GAPPS

7. Enoy ;)

Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
In MSKIPS Toolkit, just choose option 7, that is making all changes needed for flashing in one go (steps one to 3). After that: you'll be ready to rumble.... :cool:

Before flashing the rom do a backup in recovery, just in case something goes wrong. Plus always good to keep a back up of your original stock rom
