[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
Issue: Unable to enable Bluetooth while in Airplane mode.

Reason: I hike and would like to disable all connectivity to save battery while still leaving Bluetooth enabled so I can use my external GPS in the mountains in conjunction with software on my phone. This all works fine however as is. However, I must keep the cell radios on even though I have the "No service" emblem showing and my phone is just burning battery looking for cell signal.

Rom: Calkulin's 3.0 GB rom

I have found several forums dealing with this subject on other phones but not one for the epic 4g touch. Other forums have flashable zips that fix the issue or changing of roms that enable what I am asking.

Since I am on a TW based rom could anyone confirm that one of the other roms actually enable this function? such as CM9 CM10 AOSP AOKP ?

Is it possible that I am worrying about nothing? Will enabling the function I am desiring actually save much battery? I would assume it would, however I am by not means an expert.

Perhaps I should clarify. Could someone on a few of the none TW based roms take the short amount of time needed to turn on Air plane mode and see if you can then turn on bluetooth while air plane mode is left active and post the results. I would prefer not going through the time it would take to flash all these myself only to find out it is just a limitation of this device. thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexj.:
Hello,

I have a very big Problem. I was using SuperNexus ROM for my GS2 but because the system crashed sometimes and it was pretty unstable I wanted to go back to Stock ROM. So I downloaded the latest ROM for my GS2 from this site, the Official ROMs the newest one from Nordic Countries. Everything was fine and I also unpacked the zip and had the .tar.md5 so I opened the newest Version of Odin which was also attached to the Thread at the bottom and connected the device normally everything worked fine with no problems. Well I put the file in the PDA field and I checked Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and clicked Start. It flashed everything normally with no Problem also it said at the end Success but then my phone rebooted and now it only shows me the Samsung Galaxy S II logo and it cant go any further I also cant get anymore in the Flash Menu with Volume Down + Home + Power what should I do???

Kind regards

alexj
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexj.:
*Fixed* I took out the battery for 5 Minutes and tried Download Mode again and then I flashed it again. Now it works perfect :)

Today at my local Sheetz I used Google Wallet to pay (second time using it there and at all.) When I tapped my phone to the receiver the cashier asked me if I had just hacked her machine. I replied no and said I just used my phone to checkout, however she still went and got her manager, telling him she thinks I did something weird. I had to explain to the manager that I was using Google Wallet. Luckily the manager knew what NFC and Google Wallet was but it got me wondering if anybody else out there has had any non-technical problems using Google Wallet.:confused:

I've been told twice by differnt rinky dink gas stations that have paypass that they don't take my phone as payment. I have to have a card. I don't argue cause it's a gas station employee and I'm usually buying like $2-3 worth of stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
I've had a few people tell me they don't think it will work, although it usually does, but no ones freaked out on me so far. Just say you're using it as credit and do it before they realize what you're doing.

The confused cashier looking at us ask what we are doing and my sister says I got this superpower that let's me pay with my phone, she makes the purchase and while the cashier is staring at me confused she's walking backwards out the door yelling the power is mine *****es

OPs story reminds me of a cashier that once worked with me. She was this older woman that ALWAYS had questions about something. Anyway, once she paged me (supervisor that day) so I picked up the phone and she tells me 'I need you to check a bill for me fair enough they are supposed to ask if they have any doubts. So I come up to the register and she hands me a 2 dollar bill, I check it out and tell her it's okay. She gives me this look of bewilderment and says 'but it's a TWO dollar bill, those don't exist!'. The customer and I just looked at each other, I apologized, took the 2 dollar bill and spent the next 5 minutes trying to convince the cashier those bills exist.

I wonder how she would react if someone tried to use pay pass with their phones.

So one day after walking around the whole damn campus in 95 degree rainy weather i spotted a little hut with all these soda machines and there was a huge line of thirsty ass students too. So its finally my turn and i was gonna grab my card~~naaaaa

whipped my phone out and scanned it. Chose my sierra mist.

Sold out. Fml.

Thats coo, ill settle for a coke

Scanned it.

Sold out. Wow

I proceeded to do this for every other available choice, all sold out.

****tiest day ever. Thirsty and denied.Everyone behind me probably thought i was crazy. Since it makes me rescan everytime the damn thing told me it was sold out, i scanned it like 10x and just gave up.

Actually at the time some super phones had early implementations of NFC or an equivalent (I know you said software).

Yeah... once at a fast food chain! The cashier had no freaking clue what she was doing. Then at my local supermarket I used GW again and the cashier didn't know what was going on. Needless to say either times it didn't register (pun intended) to them what the hell was going on and had no clue how to accept the transactions so I had to bust out my trusty old plastic card. IDK, maybe it was me, the phone or both but it seems no one is getting trained properly on this method of sale. I haven't used GW since and It saddens me that I can't evolve this method into maturity due in part from the lack of intelligence on the merchants behalf. C'est la Vie right?

my story is similar to this. i'll start with the $10 u got when 1st opening wallet

in rite aid i grabbed a 15$ zon card, girl @ counter was new, i had to walk her through the paypass process,... declined. she doesn't know what i'm doing so gets the senior cashier. that's when i realized i needed more $$ in wallet, so as they are staring at me i xfer money, now i have $30. i then decided to get another $15 card blamo $30. guess the senior rep though i was up to something, he gets shift manager, so now i go up to the register, and argue with the manager about pay pass & NFCs. He gets store manager, i THEN argue with 4 of them and explain to them about NFCs while i walk them all through the pay pass process. I then tell store manager "look man if it doesn't work, ill apologize, but if it DOES work, i want an apology IN WRITING" :cool: So he calls corporate comes back and waits. all 4 of them are now watching the process with baited breath. here are the results:

I have a wallet question, this seems like the best place to ask it as there are a bunch of people with experience using it...

Does the wallet app have to be open to make a payment or just have the screen unlocked? Also, how long so you have to hold your phone against the terminal? A second or more like 5?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
U know if u go into wallet it tells u exactly how to use it, with illustrations. Not to be that guy.

Ur supposed to be able to just unlock your phone so the display is on and then hold the phone up to the paypass icon, screen facing u naturally.

At that point gwallet is said to come on by itself and maybe put in your pin u setup. It should work very quickly, like faster than a credit card. U just follow the instructions to accept purchase on phone.

If all is setup well on their end and your google wallet is working like its supposed to the transaction will go through. I've read that some people have issues w it not working. But this is the place where people go to look for solutions and not complain right?

So that's pretty much it. I just got google wallet working again last night and have yet to use it myself. Read all of the extra info here in other threads started with "google wallet not working".

Good luck
