[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3537L1F3:
So far this community has answered my one or two questions very well. I now have a text, Google voice, and insurance question.

First, I was wondering is there a free app that allows me to see text messages as popups on my pc as well as answer them from the pc? I know I read Google voice could but I also read problems with binding (and unbinding) with sprint numbers so I wanna know of other alternatives if they exist.

If I do use Google voice and link it to my number or there any real cons to this? Do the cons outweigh the pros?

Recently found that the charger port on my phone is damaged causing slow charge and loose connection. I was told I'd have to pay the deductible and get a new epic. I decide to try to wait 5 months for my upgrade, will sprint take this back as a trade-in with it damaged?

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

1. You can text from a PC using Zipwhip via Sprint. http://sprint.zipwhip.com

2. I like GV. No cons from my perspective. I like being able to text and listen to voice mails online. The spam filter also cut down on the occasional telemarketing calls.

3. Not sure. Never utilized the trade-in program. The trade-in amounts I've been quoted were pitiful. You'll get more cash by selling your old phones on eBay.

[HTC One X] Bushveld:
So I'm having my One X replaced tomorrow, as I am very unhappy with the surface scratches that have appeared on the screen after only 6 days of having it.

The phone is kept in my pocket for large parts, and is well looked after when not in my pocket. I'm quite angry about how quickly they've appeared and the fact that my Desire has no scratches whatsoever after 2 years, and throwing in the fact that my One X has Gorilla Glass, I'm hoping it's a batch problem.

I work with a guy who's had his phone a day longer than me, is much more carefree in his handling - yet has no surface scratches to the screen at all.

Has anyone else been having this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Is it possible to set a schedule for ringtones? IE:

Mon-Fri; 8am -5pm => be on vibrate

Mon-Fri; 5pm - 12am => be on audio+vibrate

Mon-Fri; 12am - 7am => be on silent

Sat-Sun => be on audio+vibrate

An interface like uTorrent scheduling interface would be super cool!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Tasker can do that. Also cm has come up with quiet hours code that is being implemented in some roms.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
That's cool! I hope other ROM makers implement quiet hours as well! I hope Google or Samsung patents it so frApple can't copy us!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BruceWayne133:
I was wondering if there's any way to include a button that would clear all the recent apps, similar to the small "X" that appears in the notification shade to clear all notifications. I imagine it popping up in the navigation bar where the 3 menu dots appear in legacy apps, allowing you to clear them all away at once instead of swiping apps individually to clear up your recents apps.

I'm currently running AOKP, for reference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XAviierG:
Use MIUI ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea I loved MIUIs clear button on the recent apps menu and how much memory was cleared is nice to know.

In fact I love the MIUI recent apps setup totally. Looks super sexy and I love how its designed.

Just flashed Gummy 1.0 from using MIUI for a few days. Can't wait for it to start stabilizing and getting better HD theme support... and some more tweaks like AOSP.

Hello All,

This is my first thread! I recently rooted my tmo sgs2 in order to get the full potential out of my phone. I loved it and was going flash crazy. Everything seemed to be going well until i accidentally formatted my external sd card in CMW. I was on Jug 5.0 Ultimate ICS edition and now im on the blackedition. Now all my backups are gone and some things on the phone dont seem to be working properly. Any suggestions? I tried looking through other threads but none seemed to help. Any feedback would help.

Thank you

-From a noob that just wants the best out of his phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
how important is recovering the data? typically a 'deletion'/'format' just dereferences the blocks from the memory allocation table so the data is still there. and thus you can use recovery software to get most of it back. but i'm basing this off experience with hdds and ntfs not flash memory (and probably fat32).

and formatting it shouldn't affect how your phone runs unless you moved app installations to it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Either don't copy anything to the SD, and use a program like undelete I think is the name, wouldnt flash anythig from this method anyways, or dl a new ROM to the SD card and reflash, wiping he SD is wiping the SD, that's ur own bad and no way to actually "restore"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] henryvutran14:
OK well i didnt move any of my apps to my sd so im guessing the rom is just kind of buggy then. But now when im in the process of wiping dalvik code it says

E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] ?!?!?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Z-Man™:
It says that when i wipe dalvik as well but ive never wiped my sd so i don't think that's why
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Z-Man™:
Did a little googling,

/sd-ext is the mount point for Linux EXT-type partitions used with Apps2SD. It was a clever gludge from before Android supported moving apps natively; supported ROMs moved all installed apps to this new partition and symlinked them back to /data/app, so tricking the OS. Subsequent installations went to this partition also.The error is perfectly normal on devices with no EXT partition and is simply a result of the CWM code supporting a huge range of devices.
[HTC Desire S] dan281082:
hi gys just replaced a digitizer on me deisre s. there seems to be a small gap at bottom when phone lights up can see in to phone.

does it need more sticky tape?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
No I wouldn't personally bother, this was a common flaw with many of the phones, mine has tiny gaps at every side and if I tilt the phone I can see light escaping at night

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] ginodp:
I know that problem, it's not really a problem but I can give u an answer.

The problem is that when you removed the glass you didn't heated it enough. If you did heated it enough its not very strong anymore (old tape).

I did the same with like 5 Desires S'es I changed the glass but I also changed the tape. And I heated the glass and the tape before putting the glass back.

When you heat the double sided tape it will get more sticky and will keep the screen down ;). Of course u need to use the right tape to.

Is it possible?

I've tried to flash my device with the CDMAWorkshop 2.7 but there are no EVDO tab and some other features. I can't find any newer version with full functionality. like 3.6 or 3.8. Demo versions can not write PRL's and EVDO/CDMA settings.

qpst 2.6.366 can't flash this modem too. Is there any way to downgrade CDMA firmware without any brick?

Anybody know if there is any Custom ROM / Kernel that would support the MAP bluetooth profile. This is something I would love to have to get my text messages read to my in my Ford vehicle (I Know other car manufacturers have the same.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Crazy timing - I just saw this pop up in CM's gerrit review and had no idea what MAP meant.

It may be coming to CM soon, patches for support are in review.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jeff_chaney:
So is this something that is kernel related, ROM related, or a little of both. I've never tried CM...always done "smaller" ones (like yours.) Is there somewhere I can go to check when it is in CM9?

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usaff22:
Hey guys :),

I am making my first ever ROM and would like to cater to what everybody would like most. I've extracted the rom.zip from the latest WWE RUU, rooted it (by putting the SU.apk and the binary into the ROM) and would like to release it as a completely stock option but still rooted for those people who would like to enjoy Sense with nothing added or removed. (Of course people can change stuff themselves by adding and removing apps, etc.) But yesterday I also thought of another option - making the ROM extremely fast and leaving it with the bare minimum - Calendar, Play Store, Camera, Dialer, Settings, HTC People etc. So I would like to get on to my original question - which would you like to see? Vote in the poll, or if your answer is "other" post your request there. :D

And if you would like me not to release it as there are too many Sense-based ROMs cluttering up the Android Development section, vote that option and I 'll keep it to myself :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenTravis666:

Well you can make both and put them on the same thread. Make a lite and a full versions of the same ROM and let people choose.

You can also change the kernel to an overclockable (is that a word ?) Kernel.

little ot, sorry for that, i cant post in dev section, so at first thanks for your and others work on cm9 ;)

after flashing cm9 build from 04-15 i found that in settings->about phone the android version says 4.0.3 so i am a bit confused ;)

and i dont know if it was mentioned, but Apex launcher is working also good for me and i found it more customizable than Nova which is in recommended in op...

you should message a mod about this first though. its against the rules to sell things like this in most places, if you got permission then it should be fine, but just don't get banned by accident.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] psun786:
I have the first one in your listing and can confirm it is not real leather. The fitting is perfect and the it is a beautiful case. However, it doesn't hold credit card or cash too well.

There isn't sufficient space between the front cover and Note's screen, so you will have a hard time close the flip after occupy the credit card slots or placed your cash.

The case is made from not so durable material. I would expect the PU surface to deteriore after a few months.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] nickshertzer:
Yes, Faux Leather. Not sure why the SGP site lists is a genuine leather. I have mine filled with CCs, drivers license, a key card, cash, and some business cards. Closes and snaps fine.

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Looking at it, I think the plastic part that holds the Note is just glued to the wallet part. I found that a quick bend on the lower left corner will pop my phone right out to quickly answer a call or throw into my car dock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] thatdudebutch:
Thanks for the awesome info. What kind of closure did you pick? Can you realistically hold bills and cards in there? Does the one you have contain a spot for bills behind the credit card area or is that just a seam?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] MISSDIVA:
My E4 case for the GS2 has three slits for credit cards, there is also a small inner pocket where you could put a few bills. The E4 for the Note has five slits for credit cards and should have the same inner pocket (behind credit card slits) It has the inserted closure.

I must point out the Easecase will answer any questions regarding further info/options/customizing - this really impressed me. They provided me with photos of colour options and engravement placement.

Before I got my Easecase, I used a Melkco flipcase which I loved. Unfortunately I dropped my phone :(:( this resulted in having two ugly dents in it. After that ....I was determined to get a case with full protection. I didn't really purchase it for the wallet aspect, as I use my purse and handbag for that.

All future phones will be lovingly encased in Easecase LoL :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] thatdudebutch:
Thanks for all the info. If I order one, should I order through eBay?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] MISSDIVA:
Yes, they only trade through Ebay as far as I'm aware. If you are going to customise it, put your instructions in the message box on the order page.
