All,

I need a bit of training on the radio's...

I am running Darkside .3 v4 and I flashed Tmo UVLE1 ICS MODIFIED RADIO. I have no idea what this does to my phone or how I can tell if it improved.

I also see this one Tmo UVLC8 ICS MODIFIED RADIO that I can D/L and flash>..

and I saw this c/p from darkside thread in the development forum. I have T-Mobile but I use Darkside UCLE2 which has the ATT base, and I'm running that in conjunction with the radio from this thread. I get up to 16 mbps.

Any information and comments will be greatly apprecited. I would like the best radio files.

Thanks

Its hit or miss to me. Just flash them all and see what works best for you. The telus radio works great for me and I live in Missouri.

I'm running stock rooted ICS. LE1 radio seems to have lower signal strength and response, then when I had the LDE one. Any solid ones I could flash to a stock rooted? Just asking, used to custom roms. Haven't chose one yet, Lol.

Hi,

Using Google Voice and Groove IP, I am able to place ourgoing calls with no problem.

Is there a way or a setting that I don't see that would allow incoming phone calls as well. When I dial the google # from a standard cell phone, it goes right to VM.

Any help would be most appreciated.:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailong:
Access Google voice with a browser. login and under settings add Google chat as another forwarding line. Then edit your forwarded mobile phone number and under advanced settings have Google voice ring your other lines if it can't reach your mobile phone. Now when someone calls your mobile number and u don't pick up, it will ring your tablet.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioshock22:
I realize most everyone on here tries to find a work around from having to pay for anything.. but in this case why not just make it easy on yourself and use Skype? I have been paying VZW 100.00 per month, 1200.00 per year! for my smart phone for about 6yrs but recently suspended it in favor of trying something different.

I got the idea when I had my Xoom and and it worked so well that I sold that and recently purchased the much lighter, pocketable, portable Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7

I still pay VZW 30.00 for a 2GB data plan per month but Id have to pay that with my smart phone anyway.. I then use (free) google voice for all my text and pay a subscription to Skype of 2.99per month or 30.00 for the whole year for unlimited calls.. I also purchased a number from them which is another 30.00 per year so people can call me. So it comes out to under 70.00 for the whole year! rather than 1200.00

I know that may not work for everyone.. it's not ideal having to use two different numbers and if your data strength is so so it may not work so well.. I also know there are probably many many other ways to do this.. but for me I don't think 70.00 per year is a lot to pay plus the convenience of not having to set much up totally works for me..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlpineMan:
@bioshock22, you can achieve what you just described using what OP is using... And you don't pay the $70/yr. GrooveIP/Google voice gives you a free phone number of your choice and free unlimited incoming / outgoing calls to any US/Canadian number. OP has a single phone number for texting and calls all for free. He just pays verizon for the data plan.

@aximtreo, I don't have a forwarding number enabled for Google voice. I just have Google chat checked for forwarding so I can receive calls on the tablet.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioshock22:
As I said in my post I am sure there are many many ways to do this but for me it is all about convenience.. I have no desire to spend a whole day looking through hundreds of these forum posts reading what app this guy recommends only to have another guy say this one is better or this one is better or this one is better.. THEN have to figure out how to forward from google voice, google talk, google this, google that etc. etc.

Like Denzel say's in the movie Philadelphia.. "Explain it to me like I'm a four-year-old"

Rarely does anyone ever do that on here.. everyone assumes you already have an idea what to do so if you don't you better free up a whole day because you'll be spending that time digging through post, after post, after post..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenNook:
interesting thread. been thinking about this for weeks.

what I wonder is whether anyone is making use of their bluetooth headsets? can calls from either skype or gvoice/grooveip be initiated and answered this way? if yes, I'm almost sure to give up my cellphone entirely! otherwise, I don't think I'd like holding up a 7.7 inch tab up to my noggin like I would my smartphone.

I'm using an international version though, but skype works through bluetooth dunno if you can initiate it though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer-S:
Hello all,

I am since 3 days a proud owner of a S3 :)

I found how to define an own ringtone to a single contact.

But today I was very surprised when I received a SMS the same ringtone which I expected only for incoming calls was ringing.

Does anyone know how to make it JUST incoming calls not all incoming activities of this contact?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer-S:
No one knows anything about it or is interessted in?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will T:
Dunno how or why you have the same ringtone as your SMS for your contact.

I've set a specific ringtone for my contacts and it's worked fine for me, SMS ringtones are the default one I set.

If you haven't tried already, go to the contact, press the menu button, Edit, then check to see the ringtone of the specific contact.

Hope that helps, if you have done this already and still getting the same ringtone for your SMS, it might be worth backing up your device, contents, contacts, then resetting the device again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homer-S:
OK, I iopend contacts, klicked on the contact which I adressed a special ring tone.

in the list of the contact data there is a field ring tones, which gives me a choise of 3 (standard, ringtones,own files). I did choose the ringtone and it workes fine for incomming calles BUT it works unfortunatelly also for incoming sms or whatsapps ....

Is there no other solution except resetting?

I have fear resetting my device ... It is my first Android and I am not really familar with everything....

Hi what is the best app for overclocking the Xperia Play i have only rooted and have a locked bootloader if that helps
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ridder215215:
I personally like SetCPU. It lets you create profiles for apps, so you can have your cpu run at a higher speed when playing games etc.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
SetCPU.

It's very flexible, intuitive and it let to create custom profiles (when is connected to USB, screen off, call or using a specified app)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Frankieee:
Will Setcpu work on the stock kernel (2.3.4)?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mykamran:
Must boot loader unlocked for over clock.then install setcpu.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] r4gw33d:
I think it will, but u can only set frequency between the factory values (~250-1000mhz). To go below or above you must install a custom kernel. I prefer Doomkernel, because you can set speed up to 2 ghz.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] typikal82:
I would suggest loading DoomKernel, but first you need to have your bootloader unlocked.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mehdi.moha:
hey guy,

have you tried "system tuner pro" yet ?

by that apk you can change CPU , tweaks , task manager , start up setting , SD booster ,....

please check that, that's realy useful
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] pokemanz:
I use no-frills CPU

no problems here, and I think profiles are pointless since that's what governors are for.

Hi, going on a trip soon and need a ROM with good battery effiency. I'm now running InsertCoin Evolution 1.91 and the battery drains pretty quickly so I'm wondering: what's the best ROM regarding battery life time? Sensation XE btw.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
What kernel do you use?

Try bricked with badass belance, no GPU OC, if you want better battery life underclock to 1GHz it doesnt lag and got pretty decent battery life with it. Dont change screen off freq.

And i recommend you to undervolt, -50v is good, i use about -75 now and its pretty stable.

I used to get more than 20h with 1.56GHz max.

Edit: i use stock z710e battery which is 1520mAh
[HTC Sensation] b3ndik:
Thanks, will try that.

The kernel I'm using atm. is 3.0.30-Bricked.3.0-v1.1-g5a2b328shpå1984@jarvis ) null
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
Use the button mate :)
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
I did it for him since you apparently need the self-satisfaction of internet thank-points.
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
Does someone mind posting the lowest values u can under volt to?
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Depends on the phone. Some can push -75, some only -50. Just gotta try it and see.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Tbh i doubt it matters much how much you UV, i'm sure I read an article awhile ago that said uv actually didnt extend battery life at all
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
LoL, no i mean you dont need to say it if there is a button ;)

Thats the point of thanks button :p
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
If you decrease the voltage needed for one freq, it means the cpu needs less power and it means more battery life :p

Use system tuner pro, its easy and safe :)
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Well, it technically does, because less voltage means less current, both of those mean less power. (Literally, Current * Voltage = Power, fun fact). However, the increase in battery life is marginal at best, so it doesn't actually benefit.
[HTC Sensation] Whyzor:
Power ~ V^2 * f. Voltage has more effect than frequency, both have some effect.
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
Forget power equations, battery's are capacitors so lets use capacitor equations!

Rate of discharge is proportional to Q/R.

I=V/R so 1/R=I/V

Therefore rate of discharge is proportional to I/V. Ohms law states as one goes up so does the other.

So technically undervolting has no effect?!
[HTC Sensation] Whyzor:
Think about that for a minute, if that were the case, why do you think modern processors use lower and lower driving voltages? Your logic is flawed.

"Dynamic frequency scaling by itself is rarely worthwhile as a way to conserve switching power. Saving the most power requires dynamic voltage scaling too, because of the V2 component and the fact that modern CPUs are strongly optimized for low power idle states."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

I use this one and its pretty efficient!!

I've been using paranoidandroid, and some opensensation versions before that, which all suffered from batterydrain. From what i've read that should be fixed now. What i've read is that in theory aosp could be more batteryefficient.

In addition, for aosp, there now is faux, tamcore, and showp's bricked, kernels available.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I used to use virtuous inquisition, its senseless and really great on battery! I think it's been the best battery efficient Rom by far in my opinion. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Thanks for that. I was thinking the exact same thing. If everything is proportional, and it is, then decreasing one variable (voltage) should decrease everything else.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
I found the virtuous inquisition rom quite good if you ask me but it all depends on your usage as well no one can help if your using your phone like crazy :p

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Is hypersensation and hypernonsense good batt life roms.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
For me they are all the same it just depends on your usage really...

Swyped From My Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Whyzor:
ROMS based on stock usually are better on battery than custom built ones from source (AOKP or CM). Manufacturers have teams of engineers whose full-time job is to test changes, including long battery drain tests. Most after-market developers tweak a few things here & there, but do very little testing, so a new feature may sound great, but be less battery friendly, these tweaks add up over time.

A simple way to test ROM battery drain is to see how much it drains with everything off in airplane mode overnight, it should be close to 0%/hr. This is before any apps or services uses data, which will be in addition to the base drain.

hello,

I want to do a factory reset because i'm having trouble getting text messages (some times i get the sms and other times i don't get anything) the provider says the fault isn't theirs.

So it can only be a fault with the cellphone.

But about the factory reset. I got a rooted phone + clockwork mod and i made a backup on external sd.

If i do a factory reset through clockwork mod i will probably loose my root permission and there for won't be able to use clockwork mod to put my backup back.

So my question: if i have reset the phone i probably need to root the phone again and then download clockwork mod again so i can put the backup back ?

Thnx

(sorry for my English)

Contains this backup everything like for example set cpu profiles and text messages, ...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tony.t:
if you reset the phone you don't have to reinstall cwm it won't be removed
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
You won't lose CWR or Root, unless you flash new fw from Sammy via ODIN or Kies[God forgive me].

This is what custom recovery is for....if you were flashing new ROM or Nandroid...you should first do wipes, including factory reset...

Of course your Nandroid could also contain whatever is causing your SMS problems!!

So when you restore, you could be restoring whatever is troublesome..

I would not necessarily believe Service Providers, have you checked APN settings.. are you 2.3.5...there was a prob with some providers, like Three in UK, which 2.3.6 solved.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I've never had this problem and I've went thru a few ics leaks. But then again all I do is sfhub's one-clicks and stay stock. That must suck, I honestly can't see me on sprints slow 3g if I had that issue. I'll go crazy without my 4g :banghead:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
Ok well the random reboot if gotten simply from not doing a clean flash. Redownload and start fresh flash. It should stop. And its not just ics leaks it has happened since GB for thia same reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Are you using the app? I get a timeout even with wifi or 4g connected then it reloads on its own. That fb app is a mess.. You would think with all that money they have they'll at least hire a good developer to give us a decent app!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] memoerdezguey:
Yeah the app sucks specially when u combine it with sprints .070 KBps 3g speeds!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
I am pretty sure this problem is caused by the hacked hotspot app.

Anyone having reboots running a rom that DOESN'T have the hacked hotspot?

Or try wifi tether?

I have mainly run sfhub's one clicks also and have never had an unexpected reboot.

But, i just use wifi tether and not the sprint hotspot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] StrAuberries:
Going out on a limb....

Dl-ing weird euro-porn by the TB?

I also havent heard of radio related rebooting before, and Ive used almost every ICS rom thats dropped on 2 different E4GTs AND have done horrible, horrible things to my net settings trying to perfect my connectivity. I have used 4g daily for testing and have 3g going strong at an average of 1.5Mbps or so.

Im with guy-whos-name-I-cant-remember-now in thinking you have some element you arent accounting for. You have anything in mmcblk0p12? It would not be cleared by any popular wipe script. Neither would wimax settings....

Reprovision, reset DSA and call it a day. If you still random-reboot, kernel panic due to any number of things.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Sitting in the office just now and I had to get my USB flash drive out of my pocket. Just happened to be the pocket my phone was in. Anyway my phone took a spill to the floor, which was about 16~18 inches onto hard linoleum and it must have hit just right because this happened:

Phone came away 100% but I guess I would have expected the case to hold up better to such a low fall. I chose the Case-Mate Barely There over the TPU case because it slides in and out of the pocket easier but at $25.00 dollars a pop, I don't want to have to replace it when it takes a spill. Obviously, the TPU case would have never broken though.

I've had this case like a month or two maybe? This was actually my second one, lost the first one (lost the phone) but liked it enough to re-order another. I'd never dropped it though.

Sigh... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
These cases are useless and are just for looks. There's a reason they're called "Barely There." TPU cases are the way to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Thinking back, I think I may have dropped my first case and phone maybe one time in a gravel driveway. It got a couple scratches, but gravel has some give to it, the hard floor in my office apparently does not.

I guess I would have figured the plastic was more impact resistant then this. I'm very disappointed in how this case held up.

Again, I realize the TPU case is basically rubber and would have had flex but I really like the thin profile of the Barely There.

I think I might have to go with the TPU case. I'm going to contact Case-Mate and send them my photo's but from the sound of their warranty, I'm SOL. The first sentence in the warranty is:

Which pretty much is an out for providing any warranty. I would sure argue the point that the case cracking so easy was a materials and or workmanship issue though lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
They're not rubber. It's thermoplastic polyurethane. It's basically flexible plastic that doesn't shatter or tear, and you can get it in matte. For the Epic Touch, this was my personal favorite: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...qid=1340119072&sr=8-4&keywords=epic+touch+tpu

It's thin and sleek and matte.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I used the term rubber loosely. I know it's a type of plastic, I just meant that it has more flex to it like a hard rubber.

Anyway, I'm definitely going TPU this time around.

Now, who makes the thinnest TPU case? I remember hearing TPU-Cases (the maker) was all the rave back when this phone first came out but I'm sure other vendors are making cases now too. I've not heard of Diztronic, looks nice though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
TPU cases are the best by far, and the most reasonably priced. They're known as Dizitronic now, but they're the same brand. Definitely buy the case I linked you to if you want a similar case to what you had but TPU. You'll have no fear tossing your phone onto the table or dropping it anymore. Might want to get a screen protector if you drop it on gravel though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I have a Zagg screen protector, yes.

I've already made up my mind, I'm ordering the Diztronic TPU case. Your recommendations and feedback sold me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I think Dizitronic, Cimo, and generic ebay TPU cases are all made in the same factory since I have multiple cases and they are identical fit. Looking back I wouldnt pay $10 for another TPU case liek I did with dizitronic. The $3 case off ebay is just as good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Yeah but the the Diztronic ones come with warranty and they revise them if anything is wrong and will send you a new one at no charge. In other words they put more effort into what they do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d.jennings:
qualified somext

Just look at it this way. Had you not had a 25 dollar case, you would be holding a shattered 500 dollar phone.
