[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberfreak95:
Basically I'm trying to get my Wife/teens to stop using carrier text messaging without having to explain to them how to use two different applications to send texts.

Doesn’t have to be Google voice, really any app that will act as the default messaging app and when texts come in over the Verizon number and they reply to the text the recipient gets the “free” text number to respond to will work – Gvoice just seemed like the easy choice.

I've done quite a bit of research and cannot seem to find a clear answer so I'm hoping someone here had come across this. What I'm looking to do is change the reply-to number that gets sent to text message recipients from the default messaging app, Go SMS or Handcent SMS. What I do NOT want to do is have two separate text messaging apps. I want all texts to come from one application.

The idea here is to avoid paying Verizon text messaging charges and eventually block carrier text messaging altogether by using Google voice to send/receive all SMS.

Ideally this is how it would work - When a friend sends me a txt using my Verizon number I get a notification. I click reply and then press send and one of two things happens:

1. Instead of sending the text over Verizon’s network the text automatically sends it through Google voice and my friend sees my Google voice number and replies to it, essentially encouraging them to use the new phone number but seamless from my perspective.

2. Another alternative is to send the text message over Verizon’s SMS network but have the reply-to number be my Google voice number so when they reply it will go through Google voice.

While #1 will more quickly reduce the number of text messages sent through the carrier network what's most important is I'm using the same app for all texting.

I don't mind purchasing an app that can do this either.

I using a rooted Galaxy Nexus if that helps.

Hello

To make a long story short: i deleted the build.prop file located in /system on ny HTC Sensation XL, and then restarted the phone.

Now, when i boot it shows the HTC logo, and then there's just a black screen until i pull out the battery.

I can access the bootloader.
[HTC Sensation XL] benjamin.j.goodwin:
Don't want to ask how that happened LOL.

If you can get to recovery just reflash your ROM :)

If it's not on your phones storage then mount using CWM and copy the ROM across and then reflash. Wipe cache and dalvik. Don't worry about data and factory reset to start as you may get away with it.
[HTC Sensation XL] Daabeck:
I cant access recovery.

I have been having this problem for about a week, so i gave the phone to one of my moms friends a couple of days ago, he just called and said it worked now, so never mind :p

As the title suggests really, Im looking for some headphones with built in volume control, Does anyone have any or know if these even exist ?

I know i can control volume by the phone, but when im out walking my phone goes in my inside pocket and its a pain unzipping and getting it out just to turn volume down.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Other than trying to buy the Beats that come bundled with the HTC ReZound, the HTC ones have volume control. In reality any one button headphones can work as long as you have the Jays headset control app installed on your phone. With it, you can assign the number of presses to map out what you want that to do, either volume up or down. It works for my SOL Republic Tracks HD and AMPS HD
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:

[HTC Sensation] thescrapyard:
Any headphones, personal or not-so personal would do the job that comes with the 'remote' volume control on the leads

You could even wear those ridiculous huuuge ones that people now strut about with over their heads pretending to be Cybermen, instead of the discreet but tinny ones we all used to wear

Or pay about £100 and get a pair that allow no tinny noise out and you can play it as loud as you want and it won't sound crap to your ears or others sat near you

Argos, Currys, Dixons, PCWorld, Amazon, ebay ... you name they stock it

Even PoundLand, if you want them to last 24 hours and hurt your ears

My wife's new (refurb) SGII is arriving today. If the phone arrives with 2.3.4, is there any way to block or refuse the 2.3.6 update? I assume it is recommended to stay with 2.3.4 if possible? I do not wish to root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] N3RD420:
I just got my refurb the other day and it came with 2.3.6. Yours will probly be the same.

I would assume so too, but am asking just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpreichart:
From what I have read. I would block it, especially if you are not looking to root. I have also heard that it may update on its own, so you may only be able to block for so long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Just don't click the software update button and you'll never see it. It will not automatically push to your phone. I got my refurb at the beginning of Feb and it had 2.3.4.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
If yours comes with 2.3.6, you can always flash 2.3.4 if you want. There should be no negative side effects.

You can prevent the OTA update by deleting the download manager, but of course you need to be rooted first. You could always root, delete it, and then unroot.

What is your reason for not wanting to root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cachookaman:
i got my refurb yesterday and it came with 2.3.6 already. what exactly is the problem with having it? i was able to root and install a custom ROM pretty easily. i had 2.3.6 on my atrix too before i switched.

Nothing wrong with 2.3.6 in general - but the AT&T UCKK6 build for I777 is AWFUL. It has some major power management issues.

Later I9100 2.3.6 builds, like XWKL1 and XWLA4, are much better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GeorgeP:
I monitor my battery drain pretty closely. I get the same per hour battery drain with 2.3.6 (UCKK6) and 2.3.4 when My location is not enabled. 2.3.6. is slightly better battery-wise when I have My location turned on. Plus, 2.3.6 has a few fixes and improvements.

[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
So I can't seem to find any real extended batteries (not this crappy 1900mah stuff), and I can't seem to find cheap sensation batteries that aren't made by Mugen, Seidio etc... Mainly because of the complicated battery covers. So I figured "you know what has the same type of battery? The Evo 3d!" boy was I wrong, it's the same size in the width and length, but if you were to use it in the Amaze it would have to be upside down. problem with this? well, the cheap extended battery can't be flipped for obvious reasons. Well, What to do? I ordered this battery, can't really send it back (not worth it anyways). Lets take this ***** apart and make it work! Used my trusty Dremel tool, some electrical tape, and here we are. Pictures are worth 1000 words, so here's an album to look at.

http://imgur.com/a/uGPNZ/

I think I'm gonna just con HTC into giving me another battery cover, and bust out my dremel again, and box out the back with some plastic, epoxy, then paint it.

TL;DR?

Bought a huge battery, modded the crap outta it, profit?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:
Wow man, good job. I would never have that much patience to do that so for real good job on that mod. Would like to see what the end result will look like with a case you want to mood.

[HTC Amaze 4G] hd2joel:
Have you seen all the antennas in the back of the amaze? 1 thats why on big after market batteries. Those come with bigger battery covers and they cant or dont want to put all the antennas in their. And if you bust out a dremmel and apoxy im sure all youll accomplish is messing up your reception. Have you even taken off the back cover? Do you even own the phone? If you do take it off and look at all the ish going on in that battery cover.

Hi guys:

I want to get a Galaxy S2 from Rogers, and I was wondering if I can flash the stock stock stock ICS rom onto the GS2 (I'm not a fan of the touchwiz)

Thanks

Bill
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSobadef:
No you can't because the Rogers Galaxy SII is a different phone that uses a different chipset, making it incompatible with the ICS rom.

Even if you got the Bell one, which is the international variant, there are no fully functional stock ICS roms yet. If it's what you want, get yourself a Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billxinli:
Sorry I should I have made it a bit clear, what I meant is, can I flash the phone with a stock version of the android operating system? since I'm not a fan of the touchwiz, nor am I a fan of the Rogers apps that they install on the phone.

(Or can I turn off TouchWiz?)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonoherpasyphilaids:
Instead of TouchWiz launcher, you can find other launchers in Google Play (Market). I've used ADW laucher ex (small cost) and Go Launcher (free) with great success.

I really don't care for TouchWiz either. Limited number of icons in the launch bar across the bottom and it doesn't handle my custom lcd density.

I'm running the Roger's branded Samsung Galaxy SII LTE (sgh-i727r).

I realize this question was posted a while ago but hopefully my response is of some assistance.

Good luck.

FYI, you should probably be looking for help/information/firmware/etc in the SGH-I727 forum, not the GT-I9100 forum... I know the forum title actually says "AT&T Skyrocket", but it's the same phone, (SGH-I727) really...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonoherpasyphilaids:
I'm not the OP, just replying since I have the device the OP was considering.

You are right however, that most of the content related to Galaxy SII Skyrocket (sgh-i727) applies to the Rogers branded Galaxy SII device.

Hi.

I've just got a friends old HTC Hero running 1.5

I started of by rooting with superonclick, thinking older software easier root. Went fine and now how SU installed.

i've updated stock on phone to 2.1update1, still keeping root, but can't use normal OTA further, it gives me either Red exclation mark og red question mark.

I can still boot the phone up, but when I press Home+power at start up if only gives red exclamation mark.

How can I get CWM on this phone and continue to play with all the Custom Roms?

I have a SGS2 with cwm and tried lots of rom, just wanted to play with this since there have been so much dev on the phone :)

firmware: 2.1-update1

baseband: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11

kernel: 2.6.29-063c4d24 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

version: 3.32.405.1 CL191507 release keys

software nr: 3.32.405.1

i succesfully fixed it by reading alot more :)

I downloaded http://www.mediafire.com/?ym4l551b7x4ax1u (Androot) to my sd card, installed it, and pressed Go Root.

Then downloaded rom manager from here (since it wasn't on market): http://www.filecrop.com/rom-manager-apk.html

Then downloaded busybox free and super user from market and then it all worked and i'm now ready to flash roms ;)

[Q] Stuck at "Dual Core" splash and can't get into recovery!! Assistance please?!

Hey all. I have been on the forum for a while and have never had any issues I couldn't find of fix by searching the threads. I am stuck now and decided to sign up. First off I appreciate all of the time the devs put into making life easier for us.

I have the Razr and had successfully installed Gummy. I had bootstrap installed but wanted to give safestrap a try. I thought I had uninstalled bootstrap and successfully installed safestrap, since I was in the safestrap menu. I kept getting a blank screen after reboot, so I disabled safestrap and now I am stuck on the "Dual Core" screen. I have rebooted using the power+volumn buttons, but it still goes back to the "Dual Core" screen. I can't connect to my computer to utilize any programs. I have searched through a lot of the threads, but with most of the issues people can still get into recovery mode. I am lost. Any suggestions? I feel like I screwed up the bootloader in some way.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] flashman2002:
Look for rsdlite. It is flashed through fast boot. If your battery isn't low you should be fine with that.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mat2332:
I also can not get into fastboot.

I have also installed the drivers for the Razr, and have attempted to use adb to load into fastboot. It says device can't be found.

Does anyone know if I return it to Verizon, since I still have protection plan, if they would be able to see the installed ROM even though I cant get to it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] An1mA:
You should able to get in able fastboot even if you have bootloop.

When you long press power + volume up and down to reset and the screens turn black press the same combo again.

There after you should able to get in fastboot.

If you cant flash roms with rsdlite, try with this tool.

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I have the same problem. None of the fixes above got it past the "Dual Core Technology" screen. One thing to note in my case though, the battery is completely dead, it won't do anything without being plugged in. Perhaps that is why it won't go past Dual Core in my case?

[edit] I had given the Razr to my girlfriend's daughter for Christmas and I am not sure what she did to it between the holidays and the time it broke. I would like to get it working again, but for now I sent her my old Xperia Play. I've moved on to a Galaxy SIII myself.

I don't have access to one. I don't think the battery will charge anyway. It was not holding a charge when it was off and I think eventually it just got to the point that it didn't even have enough juice to start up. I don't know exactly of course because the phone was not in my possession.

I think that I damaged the battery when I had the unit taken apart before to dry it out. I did have to bend it quite a bit to get it unstuck.

I'm going to try a new (to me) battery and go from there, I saw some on eBay for around $25.
