Well yeah I'm quite aware of the limitations. There's really no other viable alternative at the moment. Maybe someone can get the kineto app and libs from the sensation working but I highly doubt it, as the guys over on the sensation forum have been trying for a while now... Basically it's up to t mobiles, haha. I believe the only working device with jelly bean and wifi calling is the note 2, and sgs3....and once again its deeply embedded within the touchwiz framework.. The guys over on sgs3 forum even have a 350$ bounty for a non touchwiz working port. Doesn't look very promising but it's to be expected with something like uma... Maybe someone will figure it out. For someone who works in a complete t mobile dead zone, the only other viable option is sticking with Ics, and that's simply not something I want. Then again, I've always basically given my gvoice number out, and no MMS is very little impact considering you can send stuff over email, and every single carrier seems to have an email gateway... It is a major pain to have people send stuff to your Gmail acct. Instead of regular MMS, though,.... It's definitely not Ideal but it's a lot better than no service, an using ICS/sense builds.

I wasn't aware that monthly 4g didn't get conditional, kind of sucks. Could always use unconditional, if most people use your mobile number you would completely be dropping messages so i do understand the hesitation on that. I've been wanting sms/MMS. Forwarding options for a long time now, would be nice if carrier sms could utilize xmpp or sip messaging to handle sms forwards, but sms is another huge hack job that sorely needs replacement and MMS just a fancy if not severely limited email.

So yeah man, not many other options out there right now. If you're someone who relies on sms/MMS heavily and most contacts use your mobile number, I can definitely see where that would be an issue. Most people I communicate with on a daily basis are very tech oriented, so it's honestly not that big of a deal breaker (to me). I've just found that the Sip gateway and CSipSmple work orders of magnitude better than any stand alone app implementation. If you have any alternatives (besides using ics/sense builds) I'd love to know them, I was a huge user of wifi calling (about. 70% of all my calls) so i'm open to try everything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hatlesssandman:
Lol get your friends and family to get viber you get to keep your number and sms and MMS and since these days every one has a smart phone an app like viber is quite nice especially if everyone had it on their phones... That's what I use when I don't have signal and have told friends and family to reach me on viber if they can't otherwise
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
If you use 'unconditional forward' then you will never get another call again. All your calls will be forwarded to G-Voice, which will send them to G-voicemail.

We'll see about wifi calling.

BTW, the Kineto/UMA app does run on our CM9. There's a kernel driver missing for GAN, and of course CM9 does not have data. It crashes on CM10 because of a missing native library for audio-recording...

The Movial/IMS app (From Amaze Stock) runs on CM10 but the setup screen is full of sense rubbish... However the Sense rubbish might be wrapp-able back to stock-Android, but that is a long-shot...

Skip all steps and install groove ip. And sign in with your Google voice login
[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
Yeah you can do that if you want, and it's definitely a much more simpler approach and it should be sufficient for most people.

But the SIP method gives you much more flexibility, like the option of using Speex/GSM codecs (which compensate for jitter and packet loss) while Groove IP hooks directly into the google talk API, thus you are stuck with G.711 mu-law codec, and that's not the best option all of the time. Using Speex/GSM codecs will give you slightly reduced call quality but much better reliability and they are much more resistant to congestion network situations or high latency.. it's a better calling experience all around IMO.

Also, using a SIP solution you're able to hook into an asterisk server if you so desire (which is important to me, personally) and manage multiple lines using one softphone.

At the end of the day though, if you have access to fast, reliable wifi whenever you need to make calls, Groove IP gets the job done just fine. But for someone who wants a lot more functionality and features, using the SIP gateway will provide that. Also, you can use it as a trunk for an asterisk server, for those of us who utilize that sort of thing.

It is quite nice conceptually but I am having major issues with adding widgets; some add and some don't and there is no rhyme nor reason to any of it that I can see.

There's also nowhere obvious to get in touch with the developer to get some feedback.

Not the worst few quid I ever spent, but not really usable at the moment.
[General Questions and Answers] burt_ie:
Hi all,

For some reason Google play store is always asking me for my password every time I purchase an app.

This didn't used to happen before so I am wondering if anything has changed?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] ametarasu:
I am also noticing the same and it was not like that before. I am using Jelly Bean. It's annoying when doing in-app purchases from games.
[General Questions and Answers] burt_ie:
Yeah I am on jellybean to... strange thing is I've been on jellybean for a while and it wasn't like this, it's just a recent thing that's started to happen over there last week. Are you running a custom rom?
[General Questions and Answers] mind9:
Password Prompting?

Yes, started happening on my Nexus 7 and kind of freaked me out thinking it may be someone trying to steal my password via an inapp purchase. Wish we got a notice from Google about changes to the purchasing process.
[General Questions and Answers] acoogafosheeyas:
i used to have that problem all the time. then i rooted my phone and now its good
[General Questions and Answers] burt_ie:
My tablet is rooted but I am getting it. I was really worried about it thinking it might be a rouge app trying to fool me into giving out my password.

Wish there was some official word on this. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] jskd82:
Can't you just deselect it in the play store menu? I can do it on my GN.... If you have kids that use your phone you will appreciate this feature :p my son has charged some paplinko balls to my account before by not knowing what he was pressing..... that was an unexpected $19.99 charge :/
[General Questions and Answers] ametarasu:
There is no such setting in Google play store. What you can do is set a pin.
[General Questions and Answers] burdman:
Setting a pin will let you just enter the pin instead of your password- at least it has for me so far
[General Questions and Answers] burt_ie:
I am the only one who uses my device and its a little annoying. I understand it's an extra layer of security and would be handy if my device got stolen but seeing as it never leaves the house its a bit pointless. Also there is no official word from google about it so I dont know if it is the play store or a rouge app.
[General Questions and Answers] 08r3308:
I'm sure its new addition to play store my unrooted gnex and nex7 do it. You can also set up a pin too
[General Questions and Answers] frenchglen:
For me it seemed to coincide with my installing of google authenticator on my phone?

I have NOT set up two-factor authentication on my google account, so it's definitely not that. it's not even what that is anyway, which would be asking for the authenticator code, not account password.

This is SO annoying, is there no way to turn it off?
[General Questions and Answers] jokesonme:
I was having this same issue, for me rooting my Galaxy S3 and deleting my google account from the settings page, and then re-adding it fixed the issue.
[General Questions and Answers] sambartle:
Annoyingly this happens for me as well now on the nexus 4.. But not on my n7 or any other android device.

I believe the cause is Google Apps for me, I was a free apps standard customer and have been for years with no problems using it to sign into my android devices.

Then Google decided to stop supporting free version, although leave it running.. At that point I guess they moved it the business platform as the next day my phone wanted me to install Google device policies to comply with my organisations apps policy. (I've never set that up as you couldn't on free Google apps)

Ever since installing that it's asked for the password, strangely my other devices never asked for it too be installed and they don't prompt for the password.

I'll try removing it and see if that helps.
[General Questions and Answers] NealJ777:
Has anyone else had success with just setting a PIN? I haven't purchased another app since making the change (this morning).

I am the only one that uses this device (Droid Razr - running JB 4.1.2 - "leaked OTA version") and it's already protected with a lock screen. It would be nice to get this turned off.
[General Questions and Answers] frenchglen:
I must say I really am irate at this new inconvenience google has placed on me. Why did it suddenly ask me to enter in my (secure, complex, long) password EVERY time I want to simply purchase another app? Is it because I've been using my phone in other countries recently (with exotic IP addresses) and it set some red flag to annoyingly nag me every time now, for the password, in case I'm a thief?

NOT GOOD, GOOGLE.

I've set the PIN to replace my password so at least I don't have to cumbersomely load up the lastpass app and go into my google account entry and manually copy and paste my complex password every time I just purchase an app.
[General Questions and Answers] NealJ777:
I set a PIN and can use that instead of the password.
[General Questions and Answers] burt_ie:
I set a PIN but it would not let me use that instead of my password...I still got to type out my whole password each time.

EDIT! Sorry I didnt see the option to use PIN for purchasing! hahaha :rolleyes:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dorilife:
It's a pretty decent launcher even though on touchwiz most widgets don't work.

Plus been in communication with the Dev since he first posted videos of his launcher, he said there would be public beta but just posted this paid beta.

He already said he would be looking into the widgets issue.

Let's see.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pachi72:
The bad thing about this launcher is the long list to scroll down if you have lots of apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] collinsac24:
Not really. Just click on the begiining letter of the app you want and it takes you there. The app is too minimal in features is my problem.

If the action bar and covers were added to something such as nova it would be the perfect launcher. IMO
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bogdaryl:
I'm pretty well pleased with the Action launcher. Smooth and all the widgets I've installed worked well with no discrepencies at all. I think it is worth a try. I hope he follows with updates.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sansart:
I really like the concept but features need to be added to make it a competitor.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arktik:
It REALLY needs to expand the edges. If it would fix that I could see myself using it all the time. But as I use things like android pro widgets and wizz widgets, it just ruins it:

All that wasted space :(

However, I assume as he updates it more options will appear :).

There's an option to reduce the margines.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] knilsilooc:
I've been having a bit of a hard time with a friend's Skyrocket tonight. I flashed CM9 for her before, and it seems to work well. In the past two to three weeks, though, she tells me that her phone's been randomly turning off. Tonight, I finally decided to install CM10 on the Skyrocket, thinking that this would fix the issue. I installed it through CWM like normal (I've flashed many a ROM, so I couldn't have messed up this process).

With everything installed, I reboot through CWM. The issue is, the phone just goes black. After pulling the battery and trying to boot again, I see the Samsung logo, followed by a black screen. The phone sort of pulsates for a bit at this point, giving me a short vibration here and there, before finally stopping. Attempting to get into recovery doesn't work either. I also, due to me not being used to the download mode feature (I personally have a Galaxy Nexus), accidentally tried to start it by holding the power and volume buttons (rather than holding volume and plugging the phone in, not touching power). The yellow triangle would show up very briefly, and then the phone shuts off.

When getting into download mode the proper way, I was able to get into Odin and flash CWM again. At this point, I should definitely be able to get into Recovery. But alas, I cannot... Same issues as before. At this point, it's revealed to me that, after the random shutoffs that my friend had been experiencing, she would sometimes also have trouble turning the phone back on. Noticing a trend?

I'd like to know what you guys think: Is this a software issue, or is it a hardware issue? For the former, what do you guys recommend so the phone could boot normally again? And for the latter, well... I don't suppose there are any easy hardware fixes I could try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
If you pull the battery and reinsert does the phone start on its own with no button pushes? If so... Stuck power button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] knilsilooc:
Nope, not at all. I need to press the power button for it to start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
It'd flash back to stock with Odin and then go from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] knilsilooc:
I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't try flashing to stock because I figured it would work, but somehow, it did. I still feel that there's something wrong with the power button, and I'll be doing some more testing, but for now, everything's okay. Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I bet you can reflash cm10 and it'll work fine. Just do a factory reset and the wipes and you'll be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Wipe ALL the things, then Odin back to stock and reinstall. I'd bet that solves it
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter.c.marshall:
Any chance that HyperDroid and RedPill may be ported to the North American variant of the Note II (specifically the SGH-I317M)?

I have tried to install HyperDroid 0.4, but it will freeze within a few minutes of use (NO SD card), and regardless of how I have attempted to flash a radio, no signal.

I came from a SG-i9100 on which I had HyperDoid, and was blown away by the team support, quality, and stability of the ROM and RedPill kernel. I opted for the Note II knowing that some of the HyperDroid team were leaning to wards the Note II.

I would like sincerely request that HyperDoid and RedPill support this North American variant (or the AT&T variant - SGH-317)

For your consideration,

Thanks and Cheers!

Hi,

I'd like mine to look like the first image so that I can write anywhere and have it turned into text,

but I get the second image and have to write on the bottom square.

Anyone has any idea why? and suggestions on how to change that?

By the way second image is from this video, at 3:06. you can see the guy writting on the screen and having it turned into text.
[HTC One X+] ///M Class:
Wondering if anyone else noticed the extreme amount of jpeg artifacts, on images taken with the HOX+. I upgraded from the Vivid, and noticed a significant decrease in image clarity. Especially when zoomed in. If you were to open an image in photoshop, then apply the "crosshatch" filter, that's how all edge details appear.
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Yeah it's a step back from the original one x too. Most annoying. It's worse in low light. I find the video to be even more of an issue though. I'm hoping it's a software issue because the original one x was very impressive in my opinion.
[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
My One X+ takes very good photos when the focus is correct and in medium and strong light however low light is abysmal, being bested by my father`s SIII which has a technically inferior lens (f2.0 vs f2.6). Pls make a camera mod asap!

i found the stock cam very poor too (comming from dhd). gapps 4.2 cam is a bit better but still much more worse than the one on dhd.

Is there a patch to turn off jpeg compression, enable higher video bitrate, etc, for stock At&t ROM's?

Also, has anyone noticed, while shooting low-light video, the camera will not stop auto-focusing?
[HTC One X+] nagpochenpo:
just updated my rom to use this cam. i can't see a significant change to normal stock cam. yes, it's a bit better - but still lots of artifacts or "mosaics".

thanks for the mod - but may the hox+ cam delelopers burn in hell for such a pain.

The front camera is especially bad. Whenever I tried to take a photo with my girlfriend it looks like there's a painting effect applied but there isn't.
[HTC One X+] ///M Class:
Not sure about anyone else, but I'll put $15 toward a fix, available to all ROM's (rooted of course), that will allow the removal of jpeg compression, increase video bitrate, and resolve the issues we're having (mosaic like artifacts).
[HTC One X+] nagpochenpo:
i'll add $10 too
[HTC One X+] iggdawg:
I gave this app a whirl, and it helps a lot with video recording since you can get the video bitrate up like 3 times higher than stock. I can't confirm if images come out any better since I lack stock pics to compare against, but I like what I see so far. Posted a quick review in the original thread:

"Using this on AT&T HOX+, works quite well. We have issues with artifacts/compression on full resolution video capture, and jacking the audio/video bitrates with this seem to really help. The video bitrate on the last one I took with the stock cam was like 7mbps @720p. Turned up all the bitrates and resolution up all the way, and now 1080p videos look great! Not sure if the video bit

I still get the "watercolor" brushstroke effect on images especially in lower light, but I have a feeling this is something the ImageSense chip does on its own and isn't related to the compression settings. I don't have many reference pics to compare, but image quality does seem to look better in general. It seems to have a harder time figuring out exposure/ISO than the stock camera did, but that could be because this was coded for the HOX not the HOX+. And an easy workaround is just firing tap focus at something brighter or darker depending on what it's stuck on."

TWRP didn't install this correctly. I moved camera.apk and camera.odex manually with Root Explorer, then rebooted and wiped Dalvik. flashing in recovery did not indicate any steps failed, but the original files were definitely there.
[HTC One X+] ///M Class:
Thanks for the response, Iggdawg. I'm hoping someone can tailor the app/fix/patch, specifically to our model. Along with resolving the mosaic/artifact issue. At this point, I'm not sure if I want to wander away from the stock ROM. I will most likely root, and that's it. So I'm looking for something that can be flashed or installed on the stock (rooted) ROM, as well.

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

I've been trying image quality enhancements with every phone i've come across, most require a firmware driver fix to go past the software 100% set quality there are a few good camera apps in the market.

When i get motivated ill delve into the stock camera and have a poke around, i'm never satisfied with stock settings.

lyapota camera mod is excellent, best camera software options of any phone, a raw or bmp image output on top of that would be the way to go.

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

As i replied to your other msg:

There is no camera.odex as this is a deodexed version of the app, if you had to move an odex file then you downloaded the wrong zip.

Did you download the correct zip?

-smc
[HTC One X+] nagpochenpo:
@iggdawg : just unzip the zip in windows, copy the Camera.apk in system/app folder. maybe backup the stock cam first ;)

@smc: the in gapps 4.2 included cam. your cam-mod didn't worked for me on maXimus' rom (didn't execute), need to change to insertcoin's rom.

away from this - i still have mosaics/artifacts, your mod didn't solve the problem.
[HTC One X+] iggdawg:
I did exactly this. worked perfectly. saved the stock camera apk and odex files just in case.

@somemadcaaant - There was only one zip that I saw. The update script in the zip file assumes you have an odex file. it tries to delete both the existing apk and the odex files and replaces them with just an apk. so you're correct the app is deodex'd, but it assumes it is replacing an odex'd app. if I'm reading the update script correctly. And I think there is only one zip anyways.
