I use Google Voice too, I recommend it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I've been searching for then answer myself and so far, nothing is perfectly matched with the sms package provided by the ISP but the closest to it is Whatsapp.

+ use phone #

+ instantly Tx/Rx with indications

+ ability to send picture, audio/video clip

+ group chat

+ works everywhere in the world as long as you have a) in-service smartphone and b) internet connection.

the downside is

+ all parties MUST have Whatsapp installed.

+ no IP calling.

+ cost $0.99 annually (first year is free for Android)

note: I want to find out if this little app would work with a non-smartphone # but on a tablet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chewyfood:
Whatsapp is also not free. First year free, $0.99/yr thereafter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Absolutely right as I totally forgot about it.

It costs merely a dollar for 365 days.

I paid $5 per month for 200 msgs, so $1 per year makes me totally forget about it, especially first year is free.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
Hello all,

I would like to thank jose51197 for helping me update my phone a week ago (you rule man!)

Now I have another problem that some of you might have an answer to. I am trying to get HSDPA (H bar on the bar signal) to work on my phone. I am currently working on edge right now. My carrier is AT&T.

My brother has an Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro (unbranded and unlocked) and has AT&T service and he was able to get HSDPA on his phone. I have no idea how he got it nor does he know himself.

What app or APN settings do I need to configure in order to get HSDPA (4G)?> I've heard about the thunderbolt app but does that work with this phone? I also tried to copy my brothers APN settings but no luck. Some help would be greatly appreciated!!

My preferred network is set to GSM/ UMTS mode > GSM only

Now I know that gsm is only capable of using edge only but what changes do I need to make?

I cna only select these from my preferred network settings:

Global

LTE / CDMA

GSM / UTMS

I can only get a signal when I choose GSM only
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
It is my understanding you need to be Super CID to for this but I may be thinking of something completely different. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
thanks for replying andybones. I added a few more information into my first post, Im not sure if you read it.

I've never heard of Super CID. Is it something to do with adjusting radio frequency?

It's just amazing and it bothers me how my brother was able to get HSDPA on his phone and he did not do any configurations or installations to his phone.

There must be an explanation for this and an easy solution. Please help!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Supercid wont make it, go to dialer and press *#*#4636#*#* then select wcdma preferred
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
Hey jose!

I've actually tried that before but after I dial *#*#4636#*#*, its just takes me to recent calls list. There is no menu that shows up :/
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Well on my side I really don't know but investigating I discovered hsdpa in inc4g is only compatible with t mobile
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Try using LTE OnOff. With it, you can set any of the available radio modes on the Dinc4g. It says Thunderbolt in the title, but it works well on the Dinc4g.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
I really hope not :S

I tried that and I only messed around just trying to change the network preference. I dont know all about turning radio off and on, turn on sms over ims, lte ramp dump, etc.

Any ideas on what i need to change in the settings? or is it suppose to work right off the bat when I change the network preference settings?

EDIT: I tried switiching to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and then for a few seconds a G letter was on top og my singal bars but then went back to an x

I've tried switching to every network and the only one that works and styas is if I select GSM only with Edge newtwork though :/

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I tried messing around with the bands... still no luck. Im probably not making the right combinations or something...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
How did you mess with the bands?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
I went to the menu on the top right and selected radio band and I had 4 to choose from: Automatic, USA Band, Cellular (800-MHz Band), PCS (1900-MHz Band), and 2000 MHz.

But now for some reason, my phone is showing me only 3 options: Automatic, Cellular (800-MHz Band), PCS (1900-MHz Band)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
If you get me a how to get that screen (with bands stuff)I may help you discovering how to change to appropriate one
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
Ok so here are the specs:

Here are the networks that I can select from:

and here is where you can get to the radio bands (Tap on the right corner menu):

I can't seem to get that "G" bar signal anymore :/ Hellllllllllllp :P
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Select 800mhz
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
Yeah I've tried that and didnt work. Now I have an even bigger problem now. I can't even switch to "gsm only" anymore!!!! >_<

Now I have absolutely no connection whatsoever. I think I damaged my phone by switching connections too many times with this lte on/off app.... so much for getting 3g or 4g connection :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Well just ruu again and everything will be fine
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
The thing is I am able to select "cdma/ LTE" or "Globally" but itwont let me select GSM.

What do you think of going with factory reset on my phone? or shouldI go RUU again like you said

EDIT: Im going through RUU againand I'll let you know how it goes

EDIT 2: I tried RUU and it's still not selecting gsm only... is this the endfor this phone???
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Well use global and reboot, im looking for servicemode apk so i can hace full hardware control
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
I tried to select global and reboot.. I still can't select gsm after that. When i try to select gsm, it goes back to global by ddefault :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Try lte on off menu and select wcdma only
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
That's what I'm saying jose. I can't change anything. It wont let me. I tried different apps to get it to switch to a different network but still I can't seem to get out of global network.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
I'm sorry to tell you this but root and you'll get more radio options on viper rom
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I finally installed the Viper ROM this weekend. It looks like the LTE OnOFF app simply launches the same Hidden HTC phone diagnostics screen that "Viper settings -> Misc -> Phone Info" does. They are exactly the same screens and the same menu items.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
In radio bands I get a USA option and a 2000 something option too
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
I did a fresh factory setting and got everything back to normal with HTC sense 4.1

I am able to switch networks.... but I still can't get anything above edge network. I am going to call AT&T tomorrow to run through resetting my network and all and if that does not work.. I don't know what will :/

EDIT: I installed LTE On/Off again and now I have the USA Band and 2000 Ghz options again. Still no luck with HSPA though :/
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
USA is for att also 800mhz should work
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MysticNeo:
Which network type should I use with 800 mhz?

btw the bands that at&T uses are 850mhz and 1900mhz for HSDPA/HSPA. And the Dinc4g operates in MTS/HSPA 2100/900 bands.

So I think the LTE On/Off app really only works for just HTC thunderbolt because thunderbolt uses CDMA 800 / 1900, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, LTE 700 MHz Class 13

So the app was specifically made for Thunderbolt. I mean does the app really help change the bands for the DInc4g?

and junkmail9, were you able to get 4G working?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I am fairly certain that the LTE OnOff app simply launches the hidden HTC app for controlling the radio.

Edit: You can also get to the same place by running the hidden app "Phone Info".

I am on Verizon and get strong 4g everywhere - except at work. There are 4g "pockets" and if I'm in one but the phone is showing 3g or 1x, I can force it back to 4g with the radio tool.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:

remember me working on miui and cdma users having radio issues? well looks like flashing miui makes the phone work on atts network hsdpa and also reflashing a ruu completly( i did when s offing) reverts it to 2100mhz

I don't know. It sounds distorted, it cracks, it can't handle bass, nothing. My EQ settings aren't crazy either, and this happens in every media player I use.

Nobody?!
[Android Apps and Games] dabl8:
I think it's a great app and have been using it for a long while. For listening to internet radio or streaming audio files in the background that you may find in the browser it is superb. I can only suggest one competitor, VLC. But this is focussed on audio and is lighter weight. Just the other day I couldn't find an audio player to play an mp3 I downloaded to my sdcard: I ended up just sharing the url from the browser straight to Servestream! My main gripes is are that the icon is not pretty and it seems to buffer very little so that it is quite sensitive to network disconnections. Thanks and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] LeftyGR:
Hey. While I do believe this is a great medium for what you are trying to do, how about some more info? Specifically a general description and a link to where we could find the app. I have it on my list of things to research this weekend, but for better response from the xda community in general more info would be helpful.

Welcome to xda!
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
I would love to post a link however my "noob" status prevents me from posting links until I have at least ten thread posts :( . I can supply you with some info though. I originally set out to build an open source application that would let me browse and play songs from my GNUMP3d media server. After the app had been out for a while I discovered people were using it to play podcasts and online radio stations. Although this use hadn't occured to me originally I embranced the idea and ran with it. Basically the application will let you play any streaming media that Android supports natively. It will also let you "browse" webpages by parsing the links and presenting them in a list. This functionality allows me to browse and play songs from my media server. I also just integrated FFmpeg into the application. This allows me to retrieve stream metadata, album art, and, after a year of trial and error, I just added mms:// and mmsh:// support using that library. This is just a brief overview of the application, let me know if you have any additional questions!
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
Thanks for the feedback. The buffering is definitely an issue at times. The only problem is that the Android MediaPlayer API doesn't allow you to change this. This is why I have started down the FFmpeg route. It's way more complicated but it gives me, and thus, the user more flexability. The icon could definately use some work. I will be revamping the icons in the next month so look for that to change in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
Now that I'm able to post links, here is more info about the application:

[Android Apps and Games] BleedingIris:
Edit: it's ok now in the newer versions

Yes the icons and the ui were pretty bad...

But if I remember right,this was the only player that would stream yourmuze music and allow me to turn off my screen...
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
Although I agree the icons could use some work, I wouldn't say the UI is bad. I think it's very functional without the unnecessary eye candy that some people think is required for an app to be good. With that said, I'm actively working to make the UI more polished and these changes should find their way into the next few releases.
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] klunka:
Servestream

Hi Wseemann,

Thanks for Servestream - I find it very useful. Just one ask: allow the user to vary the cache (upwards).
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
Thanks for the feedback. When you say "cache" are you referring to the buffer size? It appears you are asking for a setting to control the buffer size, is that correct?
[Android Apps and Games] dabl8:
Yes, I would like the cache to be bigger. There is a bug that is related to this. I have a CM7.2 phone and radio stream I play is very solid. Every now and then it drops out but then it recovers. However, on my CM10 phone (p990), if the WiFi disconnects , as it does periodically, the audio comes back for a split-second and then stops. Then, if I would press play to start again, it plays from where it last started! I'm not sure how it does that but it is rather annoying. I have to back out to the list screen, find the entry I want and press it. From the now-playing screen there is no way to reach the list screen if I got there from the Notification bar; therefore you need a home button or ActionBar.
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
I just released version 0.5.2. This release should address some of the previous complaints.

New in this version:

* New icons and media player layout

* Embedded album art retrieval via FFmpeg

* Scrobble Droid support

* Russian translation, thanks to Константин Сучков

* MIPS Architecture support

* Bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] dabl8:
I like the solution for the now-playing screen in 0.5.2: it's basically an action bar without an action bar. It is still hard to get back to a list of files in a http directory though; I would hope that eventually there would be a button that can bring me back to the list that I got the file from. I don't understand what you mean about Android buffering though; e.g. Antennapod can buffer podcasts just fine, though you can't set how much it will buffer. A couple of feature suggestions: include some http directories by default (such as listenlive.eu and magnatune.com:80/mobile) and support local file playback via a file manager. I think you forgot to mention ScrobbleDroid in the Preferences. I have noticed too that many asx streams don't play, but thankfully they are fewer and further between! Also we are working on getting the latest version into F-Droid: just having a few difficulties with the build server e.g. it doesn't have bash it turns out!
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm still working on some UI improvements and I will include a better way to get back to the "browse" page in the next few releases. I realize that is a usability problem. Regarding the buffering, the Android MediaPlayer class doesn't offer a method to set the buffer size. The only way to control buffering when using this class is to download the file mantually and then send it to the media player class (progressive playback). I can make a buffer setting but it would only work with the progressive playback option enabled. That is why I'm moving away from MediaPlayer and focusing on using a FFmpeg based player. Does that make more sense? Regarding your other suggestions, the application currently supports local playlist files, Is that what you were referring to? I'm hesitant to add support for local, non-playlist, media files since those are usually handled by a standard media player and that change will make the application even more complex. I just fixed the omission of ScrobbleDroid in the preferences, thanks for catching that. Can you send me examples of ASX streams that don't play? I've been slowly adding support for these playlists but it's more difficult than one might think since playback needs to be done using AudioTrack and FFmpeg. Also, I didn't realize who I was talking to! I believe we have spoke on the F-Droid forums before. As I've said before, you guys/gals are doing a great thing, the project has really come a long way!
[Android Apps and Games] dabl8:
I have a phone with a menu button, but I don't see the overflow menu now. That is really necessary to be able to stop playback. I couldn't find a local .pls, I have a lot of m3us it seems and they aren't supported. I have another problem with playback: I can't actually stream files over 3g: they play for 10 seconds and then cut out. I'm on CM10 and it seems to work ok with VLC. This has been the way in v0.4 too. I can't think of a good example for asx, but most of the random candidates I tried on http://listenlive.eu wouldn't play. Regarding f-droid, the shell that's being used doesn't like [ $PIPESTATUS == 0 ] || exit 1 : invalid operator. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] wseemann:
So, if you press the menu button you don't see the following menu?

http://servestream.sourceforge.net/device-2013-01-10-131302.png

When you say "I couldn't find a local .pls" what do you mean? Can you post links or email me the m3u's that are causing you issues? The issues with ASX files are still being sorted out. Sorry you are having so many problems with the application. Although I try my best, streaming and playlist parsing introduces alot of complexity and variance that can create issues.

Regarding the build issues, I believe $PIPESTATUS may only work with bash. You can simply comment out that line in arm-build.sh, x86-build.sh and mips-build.sh.
[Android Apps and Games] dabl8:
I do see that, but I have CM10 with the option to display the overflow menu button and I don't see the button on the Now Playing screen, so I'm wondering if those without hardware buttons would be unable to get to it; although they can probably remove the item from the play queue. Pausing and backing out, doesn't stop the stream properly

I understood that a pls that points to a file on internal storage can be played by Servestream, perhaps I got that wrong

I tried VLC again and that has the same problems. Stream plays for 40 seconds and cuts out: I've tried internet and wap apns. Must be a carrier problem.

Thanks , but mips-build.sh doesn't exist.
[Android Apps and Games] TheBootloader:
Servestream is simple and does its job, very good app if you just want to add the direct link to a stream and not fiddle around in some overcomplex radio apps with worldwide-search-feature. :)

Just a suggestion to the creator:

Maybe you should edit your first post and present screenshots, a short feature list, etc? That way this thread should grow better and you'll get more downloads.

But I also have a small complaint: When I press "Stop", the app continues to download the stream although I can't hear anything anymore. After a while it stops, but it's still not nice to eat my data uselessly like that. :)

Could you look into this problem?

Thank you!
