[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedRamage:
So I just recently switched to Android (finally!) from Windows Mobile. One thing I still haven't figured out how to do yet:

In WinMo I mapped out so that if I long pressed a button on my phone it would, essentially, dial 1 in my current phone conversation. This was very handy for Google Voice calls.

When I'm in the car it was easy to just press and hold a volume button to take my call on my BT headset rather than fumbling with getting the phone out, then pressing the screen to open the keypad, then pressing '1'.

Anyone have an good ideas on how to do this in Android?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedRamage:
Shamelessly bumping my post...

Anyone have any ideas? I used to us VJKeyPress in WinMo, but I haven't been able to find anything similar in Android. The closest I got was a plug in into Locale that will dial a number. But, even during a call, this tries to initiate a new call rather than pressing the '1' key in my existing call.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Tjabbas:
Hello everyone! (sorry for my English) Before i got my Xperia S i had a Xperia play, and I just loved the gamepad.

Anyway i like to play games on my Xperia S but i miss the gamepad on play.

So i looked for a android gameing pad i this is what I found.

The Gametel gamepad.

Gametel is a Bluetooth controller for Android and iOS devices. It’s also working with Windows and OS X.

(this aint my picture)

As you can see from the picture the design idea is to physically attach your smart phone to create a Xperia PLAY like form factor. It does include all of the buttons you would expect like the D-Pad, trigger buttons and action keys but there isn't the dual analogs.

This is the manufactures site

www.gametel.se it's more info there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1s:
I have this kind of bundle and I must say that it works quite well.

The Gametel software has a predefined option to emulate Xperia PLAY. I've found one bug with it compared to my Xperia PLAY. In some games/emulators the mapping on the O button (in the original Xperia PLAY mapped to BACK) works sometimes too well. For example when I touch the O button, it goes out of the application instead than acting as the O key on the pad.

Not all games/emulators are affected by this.

Overall it's quite nice, pairs itself automatically and very quick.

One other not nice thing is, that when using it with Xperia S, You will have the volume buttons pressed constantly, but there is an option in the Gametel software to disable the volume buttons when the pad is connected.

But this can also be sometime messy, for example when You run a game and want to + or - the volume.....If You have any questions regarding this, then I'll be happy to answer.

[HTC One X] chareos12:
Hi ppl,

I'm setting up car mode to my needs.

Actually I find HTC Music app very fitting for car usage, much more than PowerAmp: bigger album icons, horizontal scrolling (so simple, so effective).

Only issue I have is:

when a notification / navigation instruction plays, HTC Music volume drops to zero (or pauses playback ? hard to say while driving).

I'd like it to just lower volume, just like PowerAmp does.

Have you found a way to do so ?

HTC Music app looks like having very few options...

Many thanks
[HTC One X] ruscik:
I have the same issue, music is muted during notifications and GPS commands. Sadly I do not think it is a HTC thing as my Motorola Defy did the same. Very annoying.

On the phone press the 3lined hard key and press something like text input and then type what you want or press on the screen and there is a keyboard in between the 2 magnifying glass and a keyboard should pop up after you press it...be aware if you do the hard key method, you need to press return after you type so it will register

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iThrive:
Just downloaded and installed the Galaxy Note ROM from TheCollective (Seraphim - Stratosphere). It's a nice ICS based ROM but I'm not feeling the GMail white on black theme. I find it very difficult to read and follow threads. Anyone know how you can get standard GMail theme running on this ROM? Is it just a matter of uninstalling from this ROM and then installing the normal GMail app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
Uninstall the app then install the one from Google Play.
[Nook Color General] mogators1:
I have purchased two refurbished Nook Colors from B&N's Ebay site and they have both been perfect. Now my son wants one. There are some other sellers on Ebay selling refurb units. Are these the same as getting them from B&N? Has anyone had problems with any of the refurb units? A seller with the name NextWorth has them right now for $99.
[Nook Color General] J515OP:
I picked up a 3rd party refurb of the Nook Tablet without any issues. Just make sure you read the posting carefully to see exactly what they are selling you. Also make sure they have a good return policy and you should be ok.
[Nook Color General] hirent:
'B&N via Ebay' was selling the 8GB Nook Tablets for $150 a few days ago.

In my opinion that is a better buy than a refurb Nook Color.

You get a dual-core processor plus the std. warranty.

Keep a lookout on SD and you will get lucky soon.

Here's the thread:

http://slickdeals.net/f/4490902-Brand-new-Barnes-noble-nook-tablet-149-FS
[Nook Color General] mogators1:
I couldn't look at the listing from NextWorth at work. Now that I have seen it, I see that this is seller refurbished. I think I definitely would prefer to get something that is manufacturer refurbished. There are some listings for $126 on Ebay, or I could get one at the local Microcenter for $135 if my son can't wait.

I just saw the post yesterday about the Nook Tablets for $149 and was going to go that route but they are no longer available. Again, it just depends on if he wants to wait longer to see if they become available again. We are going on a trip next month and he wants to have it by then.
[Nook Color General] Nick N:
I just bought 8 Nook Colors from Cowboom (all 7s) for $99.99 each and put CM7 RC2 on them, but they were for coworkers of my Wife and I. The $149 Tablet deal is where it is at, but these people wanted an Android tablet with an 8gb Micro SDHC and a TPU case for around $120.
[Nook Color General] mogators1:
Wow, 8 Nook Colors! You must really be spreading the word. I'm assuming you didn't have any problems with any of the ones you got from Cowboom. I had never heard of Cowboom before, it looks like an interesting site and appears to be somehow affiliated with Best Buy. I didn't know what you meant by the all 7's comment, but that appears to be a rating number on their site. Looks like the higher the number the better. I only saw 1 8, but it didn't come with a charger or cable to that would be a deal killer. I might see if my son wants to go this route if no other sales pop up this weekend. The tablet for $149 would be sweet but I am not holding my breath on that one showing up again soon. What are the TPU cases you mentioned? I would love to find a decent case with a multi position stand that does not cover up the speaker. I'm currently just using one of those rubber things that slips on it.
[Nook Color General] hirent:
Give one of your NCs to him and you upgrade to the NT in the next sale.
[Nook Color General] Nick N:
Here are the cases I bought, unfortunately they are rubbery too:

http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Skins-Screen-Protector-Barnes/dp/B0057AV55C/ref=pd_cp_e_1

Description says red but one is purple like the picture shows.

They are $99 again for the "returned" Nook Color on Cowboom

All 8 were fine. I put Mr.g666's CM7 RC2 on all of them, used the free LCD Resolution app to set the DPI to 220, overclocked to 1200mhz, and have had no complaints. So far I have probably put Android on 15+ of these. Everyone my Wife or I have shown it to wants one once they see it. I would look for a condition 7 with the charger. Some came in the original box, some didn't. You get 30 days from Cowboom but I think if you had a problem with it and asked real nice B&N would replace or repair it for you within a year of registering because they rely on you buying books and games (my opinion).
[Nook Color General] mogators1:
Office Depot has nook tablets for 199 with a 50 dollar visa gift card on sunday.
[Nook Color General] mogators1:
Picked up the tablet today and the Visa gift card is given in the store. Did not have to mail anything in to get it, but you do have to pay $4.95 to activate the stupid thing. Running CM7 from microSD and it seems to be working pretty well. If I reboot it, it boots into Nook mode. If I shut down, then power on, it boots from the microSD.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Can somebody confirm that we're able to run CM7 off uSD on the Nook Tablet?

Last time (last 2 months) I checked, can't just run off uSD on the NT.

Maybe I'm way behind! :(
[Nook Color General] mogators1:

[Nook Color General] votinh:
Thanks m8

How's about running CM9 off uSD? and eMMC?
[Nook Color General] mogators1:
I haven't tried anything else besides the CM7 off of uSD. This is my Son's tablet so I'm not playing around with it too much. I still haven't had the confidence to flash CM7 to my Nook Color's eMMC, plus it seems to run perfectly off of the uSD card so I've seen no reason to. As far as the tablet and CM9, I thought I read that hardware acceleration is not working on it yet so not really interested in trying that until development gets further along.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Were you talking about the NOOKcolor or Nook Tablet???

Two different devices.
[Nook Color General] mogators1:
I was talking about both. I have 2 Nook Color's, and my son has the 8GB tablet. All of them are running CM7 off of the uSD cards and have stock firmware on the emmc.

Since T-mobile has locked the APN's in it's ICS release last week, I've been trying to find a way to unlock them. I see that there are custom ROMs that are being released that have unlocked them but I want to remain on the stock ROM at this time. Does anyone know the procedure to either unlock these APN's or how to delete them? Any help would be appreciated. Unfortunately, I do not know how to edit .xml's at this time.

Just make a new one. If you're trying to bypass paying for hotspot, make a new one with the APN epc.tmobile.com and leave everything else default.

Works fine.

What about the hidden "Tethering data" APN? Isn't that likely to be the one that controls this? Especially since it uses "pcweb.tmobile.com" instead of epc.

Coming from a Blackberry to an EVO 4g and for the past year an EVO 3d.

I used to assign emails to my Tasks or Calendar. The Software guys were Empower for Blackberry. The app was Email viewer pro.

Is there an app that allows that kind of integration between emails and the included Tasks and Calendar?

I have tried Touchdown and that does the job for MSExchange but does not support POP3 accounts.

This seems to be a big miss on the android system.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I am attempting (I know serioulsy doubting but still want to give it a shot) to see about using the *#*#4636*#*# code to change the CDMA to GSM/CDMA. I have changed it and it saves the GSM/CDMA setting and I put a sim card in there and it sees the sim but nothing else. If I select the menu button and I see a "Change baseband" option.

My question is... is it possible for some really nice person to make a update.zip with verizon and AT&T basebands included and to flash those? I am still on a contract for about 5 more months and just want to see if however how slim and most likely impossible to see about getting the sim card slot to work.

Would some really nice individual be willing to make a update.zip with basebands for VZ & AT&T?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikexd1:
i think its impossible man, verizon might be blocking GSM signals by hardware modifications :S
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crono141:
Wait! You got the android system to recognize that you had a simcard inserted? I thought it had been determined that the sim slot was completely disconnected in hardware.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brsingr:
Edit: ignore this, saw ur other post on another thread.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
When I insert a sim card and look under "Phone info" after inserting the code, with the CDMA Only PRL to GSM/CDMA Prl, it does say above it "GSM Active". Whereas before it was not active. And when I have it listed as GSM/CDMA and I select menu button it gives me an oiption to change Basebands, but..... when i do that it force closes. So I am thinking one of three things here.

1. The force close could be because of no GSM basebands when it attempts to look for them.

2. VZ is blocking the sim from getting an activity.

3. Or its possible that as I am running stock ROM its programmed to not accept that option for basebands.

Again these are just my thoughts. I tested using a AT&T sim an a T-Mobile sim, both did show as "GSM Active". But beyond that..........nothing.... thats why if someone is able to make an update.zip with basebands for VZ & AT&T maybe I can try that. Also if this was made and I did attempt to flash it wonder how good the possibility is I could brick my play?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crono141:
You could try flashing a GSM variant of CM9 and see if you can make any more progress. Since the rom you're running is based on stock verizon, I would not be at all surprised if support for GSM was left out of the rom. Worth a shot, if you ask me. But then again, what do I know? :)
