Also worth bearing in mind that even if an app has TTS capabilities, it's down to the publishers whether they enable TTS for their books or not (well at least it's the case in the UK)
[Android Apps and Games] Extreme_One:
I have only installed free books so far but they all have TTS read aloud enabled. I use Ivona TTS if that matters.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
This, and it's completely free. :laugh: @ people who paid for Cool or Moon readers.

FBReader's TTS is crap, though. It reads too fast and it stumbles over words it shouldn't. I did this on a really crappy phone, though; I wonder if that had something to do with it. Also, a better TTS engine would have helped.

I'm currently reading Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy (e.g. "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"). I won't even try letting anyone's TTS touch this. All those Swedish names? It's tough enough (as an American) to keep up with all the names. I've worked out the pronunciation myself; I shudder at the thought of TTS trying it.
[Android Apps and Games] gbswales:
I am not sure that this is the case since Google Reader does provide TTS on all books BUT only with accessibility talk back turned on. Also none of the suppliers that I have written to have argued this as the reason - not that any of them gave a sensible reason!
[Android Apps and Games] gbswales:
di you try Ivona TTS

I think that anything to do with stuttering is likely to be the TTS app rather than FBReader (TTS is just a plug in) as for pronounciation then I understand what you mean - however the new Ivona english Amy voice does the best job I have ever found, in the absence of foreign or very difficult words it is easy to forget that she is not a real person. I find my brain quickly adjusts and I dont think it matters if a name is mispronounced as along as the mispronounceation is the same each time it doesnt spoil the enjoyment of the story. My only problem with FB reader which I use for anything I can get in plain text format, is that it wont read copyright books that you have legitimately purchased from the likes of Amazon or Google.

In my humble opinion this is an example of encourgaing, rather than discouraging, piracy.
[Android Apps and Games] gbswales:
Thanks for your suggestion but the issue is that you will still not be able to read protected books which is the majority of paid for ePub's such as those from Amazon and other book outlets. There are plenty of apps that will read public domain books aloud and the one I use even works fine from plain text files.
[Android Apps and Games] Quistnix:
I think Moon+ should be able to read protected books. It's been a while since I used it, so I'm not entirely sure. Might be worth testing.
[HTC ChaCha] Lucky-Casper:
Here it is for those who need it. I needed it to flash my phone back to stock. The update that was pushed out recently would not work on my rooted phone because I was using a UK rom when I rooted it so I need a stock ('merica) AT&T Status rom that no one seemed to have for any reason. I found the latest update on the HTC website and downloaded their installer, and that failed too. It wouldn't authorize... So into the trash InstallShield exe I went a digging and riped this out of the .cab

I used fastboot to flash the userdata.img, system.img, boot.img and recovery.img to my Status. Rebooted and did a factory reset. SUCCESS. :good:

Have you found something new with this update?
[HTC ChaCha] Lucky-Casper:
Haven't seen anything new yet.

Just pulled this from HTC's website:

"HTC Status™ for AT&T ROM Update | 05.3.2012

Starting May 3rd 2012, HTC will be rolling out a system update for the HTC Status.

This update will only be available for AT&T HTC Status customers and will be sent to the device over the air. Once the release is ready, users will receive a notification on their device advising them of this update and provide instructions to receive and install it. Users can proactively check for this update by going to Home > Menu> Settings > AT&T Software Update > Check for updates.

As an alternative solution, the system update can be downloaded to a PC and manually applied to the device. See the section at the bottom of these instructions for more information.

This system update includes:

Memory allocation fixes to improve low memory issues

Data throttling fix"
[HTC ChaCha] slow_kknd:
So the device is unrooted again?

Did they really solve the low memory issue?

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Please tell me how to download and flash the rom, thanks.
[HTC ChaCha] Lucky-Casper:
My device is now unrooted and I don't really see a reason to root it again. I also never ran into the low memory issue so I can not answer that question. I'll pm you the link...
[HTC ChaCha] atv:
thanks

nice, i need to fix one, the one you downloaded is htc_status_mr_update_2.14.502.2_us.exe? and when i 7unzip, i only see:

.rsrc - folder

.data

.rdata.text

certificate and

a [0] file of 161,869 kb

so how did you got userdata, system and boot from this file?

thank you very much indeed

atv
[HTC ChaCha] Lucky-Casper:
First I used Universal Extractor to extract the files properly from htc_status_mr_update_2.14.502.2_us.exe, because of it being an Install Shield installer. Once it extracted the files in the correct structure I then had to use ZIP Scan on the data1.cab file because Install Shield uses its cab format and very few programs can export them correctly. Once you extract data1.cab you will have all that you need.
[HTC ChaCha] atv:
hi again

i really want to thank you for your help, the phone was stuck at cmw (s-on) and now its back, but i think that as your post, i should have flashed, userdata.img before, and i did it boot.img then system.img and then i could not flash the userdata.img but the phone turned on finally.

see attached

take care

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icechen1:
Hey everyone,

So today, I was changing the housing for my GNex and I forgot to remove the SIM card (I know, silly me.) By removeing the housing with the SIM card stuck there, I ended up severing the connectors for the volume buttons beyond repair.

The connectors are soldered to the main board, and it doesn't look very replaceable, so I'm wondering if its possible to order replacements for the broken part? And is the repair very difficult so I'm better off taking it to a repair shop?

Thanks for any information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icechen1:
So I figured that the broken part is called a volume flex cable. Can't seem to find any info on installation though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BTslo:
You can find the part here:

http://www.dealrepairs.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-volume-flex-cable_p2335.html

And see that it's soldered with tiny 3 points here:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/1

I believe the repair is possible with a steady hand and a good solder iron.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] little-vince:
This isn't exactly a one off question so I'm not sure whether it should be with the questions threads or the general threads.

but im getting the feeling that its only a matter of time before someone will be like omg this should be in the questions thread and have a go at me or whatever...

So my galaxy note arrived yesterday, wooh!

i came from wm6.5 so yeppp.. big step up.

currently im running speedmod with checkrom v6.

anyways a few questions.

1. if i have one contact but say a mobile and a home phone number, do i need to make seperate contacts for each number, or is there a way to add both numbers to the same contact?

i could add both to a single contact on windows mobile (which is like a bajillion years old) so i was hoping that i could do it with android but i cant find it... :S

2. is it possible to change the location where a program stores its information?

currently i use spotify to sync my music from my laptop to the phone.

it does a pretty good job.

however, it stores the local songs on the phones internal storage, meaning if i do a wipe cuz im installing a new rom or something, i have to resync all those songs.

if there is like a registry key or something that just points to directory, i might be able to change that.

ive googled it, returned with this:

http://www.spotify.com/au/help/faq/...-store-offline-music-on-the-external-sd-card/

but i get stuck at step 4 cuz there is no "SD Location" option.

again i have no idea, ive only been on android for a bit longer than a day so yea...

still a noob.

cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
1. Open your contacts, select the name and hit edit. Press + to add the details you want. Save.

2. Your internal sd does not lose the data, so your mp3 files are safe. Unless and until you format that usb storage.

As for transferring your apps to sd, go to applications n settings tab, select the app and choose move to sd. Not all apps can be moved this way, especially system apps. Try 3rd party softwares like app2sd, etc.

And dont worry about your thread being moved or what. XDA is one of the poorly moderated forums in such that you see the same questions like "how do i go to xxx from yyy" on top of each other in any given day.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] little-vince:
there is no +...

im on gb and i believe its a lot easier to do on ics.

Spotify puts them in your Android/data/com.spotifyblahlblahblah folder.

i believe the entire Android folder is wiped on full factory reset.

im not trying to move the app itself, rather the directory to which it points towards.

i wouldnt say that its poorly moderated, just impatient. :P

thanks for your reply. :)

Hi my skyrocket is currently running 4.0.3 ics leaked rom, and I was wondering if i could flash custom kernel on ics rom, or would I have to stock gingerbread to use custom kernel. I just do not want to get bricked etc. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RabidSmurf:
It depends on the ROM, if it's SKY ICS or some other modded Samsung rom, then you pretty much have to stick with stock, or do some research because I don't really know what Kernels are available for it. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in...

If it's AOSP based (CM9, AOKP, Chimaira, etc), then the only other option I know of is InstigatorX's kernel, which seems to work quite well. Pick a stable version, since the latest has issues with the camera. The stock kernel for CM9 is also quite good, but the CPU governors added in Instigators are great for saving battery.

Where's the rom you downloaded? PC? Put it on your ext sd then put it back in phone and flash from there.
[HTC Incredible S] XsisPwrs:
I tried to look in the threads and wiki but can't seem to find an answer for my situation.

I have an Incs which got bricked and I needed to JTAG it in order to get it working again. I ran the RUU (RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe) which restored my phone to stock but I ended up having really bad signal. Most of the time its unavailable but the rare and brief moments it is there I get 4 to 5 bars. I tried various other ROMS ranging from GB and ICS stock to IceColdSandwich but none of them fixes the problem. I also tried flashing different radios but that didn't fix it either. Additionally, I tried multiple SIMs from Virgin Mobile and another Fido.

I suspect it may have to do with the phone being a Canadian model (PG32120) with the original CID being BM___001, but when the phone was JTAGed it had the serial PG3213000 with the CID being HTC__Y13 (Nordic). I'm not sure what to do now.

If it helps this is what I see in the bootloader:

VIVO PVT ENG S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.96.2000 (PG3213000)

RADIO-3805.06.03.03_M

eMMC-boot

Jan 26 2011, 16:46:44

I currently have CWM 5.0.2.0 flashed with IceColdSandwich 8.2. Any help would be appreciated.

[HTC Incredible S] ragz:
Assuming you have tried all the newer radios,11m, 24m and it doesn't change,is there any chance It could be something simple like(don't think I'm being rude cause it happens)maybe the pickups in the rear cover are damaged or not making contact,does signal change if you press on bottom of cover?As you probably know the rear cover is the antenna so just a thought.
[HTC Incredible S] XsisPwrs:
Antenna

I already tried tweaking the gold contacts at the back, didn't help. I also tried adding aluminum foils to the contacts on the cover which didn't do anything. Could there be something wrong with the motherboard perhaps?
[HTC Incredible S] ragz:
Not sure about motherboard but are you sure there's no damage to contacts as they are brittle ,and I've not heard anyone having much impovment with the foil and also a chance to short things out .Any chance you could try a different cover.If it was a board I don't think you would get signal sometimes.
[HTC Incredible S] XsisPwrs:
Cover

I'm pretty sure the contacts are fine, though I'm not sure how to check if it completely is. I'll go and try to get hold of another cover to see if that'll help. Might take a while though :/

EDIT: Found something in the back of the phone which might be nothing but oh well. Before there was something covering it but after giving it to the repair person I noticed that its gone and the motherboard is exposed. Attached a picture of it.
[HTC Incredible S] XsisPwrs:
RUU

I'm flashing RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe

going to see how it turns out.

RESULTS: No change in signal quality
[HTC Incredible S] XsisPwrs:
Baseband

I think I might have found the source of the problem. According to gsmarena, the NA version (which I originally have) has the baseband of HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 while the others are HSDPA 900 / 2100 or HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100. I'm not sure how to change it though :/

I'm getting my own plan with StraightTalk, most likely, with the SGS3. The problem is, if I'm not worried about getting a 4G Plan, should I save about $100ish and buy the AT&T Version for full price and then unlock it or just buy it from Expansys-USA? How is the warranty for US Customers with AT&T/Expansys? Are there better places to buy the international version from?

Hey guys

so i have a rooted phone using flapjaxx aosp 0.6a and ive used others too.

I saw someone earlier from a different thread that his nfc was not working anymore after updating the rom.

Which made me curious what nfc function is that? What nfc usage could that be?

I was told before that here in the US, nfc is not yet being used, but that was around feb. Is it still the same case as today?

Could you pls share your experiences on how to our Att note (here in the US) today?

The usage of NFC could be various.If your doorlock supports NFC, you can use your Galaxy Note as your key, OR you can pay your transit fares with it (if they have a reader), etc. Simply, NFC can be a replacement of your wallet. Also, you can google "android beam". I think that uses NFC as well. :)
