[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theowb4:
Google Voice is an amazing service. I had the GNex on Verizon, and switched to T-Mo with the Nexus 4. When switching, I ported my number to Google Voice, since I loved all the functionality of the service. What I didn't factor in was how atrocious the Google Voice app for Android is. It's super slow, freezes commonly, and ugly. It's hardly usable for sending and receiving SMS messages, and I text a lot, so that's important. I tried the GV Integration app (seen here), and it is nothing but buggy, making my phone unstable and not displaying notifications.

Does anybody have functional alternatives to the Google Voice app? Remember, Google Voice has my phone number now, and I do have to use the service.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Butchr:
Can't believe you find voice that buggy. I use it almost exclusively for any text I ever send. Have no problem with lag at all unless I am on a less than consistent network. Runs smooth for me every time I ever open it. Can't ever recall a crash. It isn't the prettiest interface granted, but for functionality I don't know of any better. I know all the isheep I know use that whats app. I believe you can get that on our platform. Then you will be just like all the other iclones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theowb4:
I wish I could understand what you were saying, but I truly can't. I don't have any crashing, just lagginess using the official Google Voice app, compared to the normal messaging app. Your last two sentences though...I'm lost.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Earthlark:
I agree, Theowb4. I wish there were a good way to integrate GV with the native JB messaging app or that GV would polish their app a little more. It's alright (and not having used it a lot, I haven't really noticed it being too laggy), but I think the JB app is more functional and better looking.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoochShepherd:
Honestly, I had a rom with my sprint phone I couldn't get the sprint voicemail to work with. I eventually got so annoyed at how unpolished GV was that I went back to stock.. LOL Now I'm so bored with stock I'm determined to get my VTT working again.

I'm not sure about 4" compatibility, but "Messaging + Google Voice" by DREAMBIG, INC has been great on my Nexus 7. I'd link to play store but I'm too new for links ><
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacmack:
Agreed. It works better and looks nicer. It comes with a popup reply box and fixes one of my biggest problems with Google Voice by combining all the threads, so you have one thread for each contact. It also grabs all text history, which many apps can't seem to do (read somewhere that it's because Voice doesn't have an API).

Starting with 7/12 nightlies, the stock messaging app can be configured to send GV messages on CM 10.1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsmanMusa:
I am actually researching the best alternatives for Google Voice. If only the Google Voice Team can be successful as the Google Chrome team, then this world would be better. Google Voice needs so much work I don't know where to begin, seriously.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgelhardt:
I am invested in Google Voice and have problems daily.

I solely use Google Voice and have done so for 3 years now. I have issues with it daily freezing hanging up crashing. I have used it on every phone I've had on 3 different carriers and consistently have the same issue with the app. My number is a Google voice number and I'd really hate to lose that. I've been fed up with the app for at least a year. However, I love the concept and don't really want to change my number.

Another thing I do not understand is why there is Google Voice and Hangouts. Why two separate apps for basically the same service? Even more strange to me is how come there is no GV/Hangouts integration? My phone has an actual number tied to it from Verizon and that number and the default messaging app DOES integrate with Hangouts, but not Google's own SMS/Voice app?

I am a number 1 Google fanboy, they have really, completely dropped the ball with Google Voice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Weird. I've never had any issues with Google Voice freezing or not working right on any of my phones (I go through a lot) on any update or rom (I am a serial flasher - typically 2-5 roms per week - or when I switched carriers. *shrug* Just one of those things I guess. I agree it would be nice if they integrated it in Hangouts, though it was talked about a few months ago, doesn't seem like it's quite there yet:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apicia:
I have resisted the cloud to this point. I mean, Photobucket has a bunch of my pics, but my main backup is still a physical 2.5" HDD in an external enclosure. I always worried about security or a cloud server going down and losing my data (pics, videos, etc). With my recent order (which has been shipped), I am now interested in converting. The lack of microsd on the Nexus 4 forces my hand.

What are you guys using for cloud storage? Most secure? Most dependable? Storage (GB)? Cloud expense (free vs paid)? You cloud experts... send a little advice my way. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d u o XIV:
I think Box offers the most free cloud storage. You get 50GB once they recognize you have a Nexus 4 (or any LG phone). You can only upload 200MB at a time, though...

Dropbox is the most popular. Starts you off with 3GB, I believe, and they offer a variety of ways for you to increase storage.

There's also Google Drive, which starts you with 5GB.

Those are the three I currently use. I jump between Dropbox and Drive.

BONUS: If you have a lot of music, you can upload 20,000 songs to Google Play Music. That's my favorite cloud medium, at the moment.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtw78:
Also if you're going to pay, Drive has the cheapest price per GB. I'm running 100GB for $5/month, that with Google Music backs up everything but my videos (and those are, ahem, easy to reacquire). The Drive app for Android is nice and has native support for PDF, DOC, and XLS files.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juicyjones:
I use Microsoft's Sky Drive. It's great.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWulf:
Personally I use the following. All of which is free as well.

Google - Music and Books. I've been pretty impressed with Google Music, and have only just started using it recently (I converted because I had to as well, what with the Nexus 4's small storage). I choose both the above because I like the corresponding apps, and have been happy with prices of Google boobs on the play store. All my music is backed up on my home server.

Dropbox - Small files and some photos. I've been using dropbox for ages now, well before Google Drive came about. It's very easy to access (apps on just about every platform and a web browser interface as well). Truth be told, if I was to start now I would probably just use Google Drive, for consitency with the other Google services I use. One less password at the end of the day to remember. Having said that, I am satisfied with Dropbox. I wouldn't upload anything highly secure there pesonally, as these things can be hacked. Drop box kind of backs it self up if you use the desktop app, since it allows you to automatically download all your files from their server and just leaves it in a dropbox folder on your computer. I think Drive does the same thing mind you. I keep some photos on facebook as well, which I suppose is an option for keeping photos in the server.

I personally don't keep tv shows and movies in the cloud, the cost of steaming it would kill my bandwidth allocation. I keep these all on my home server, and if I go away for the weekend I'll either take them on a usb, laptop, tablet or my phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fujitsujeff:
I use Google Music as the cloud service for my music. I use Google Picasa Web and Google + albums for my pictures. I use Play movies for my television shows and movies.

I use Amazon Kindle and Play Books for my cloud services for books. I use Box for the kitchen sink to save all my documents and pertinent information. You cannot go wrong with 50 GB of storage :)

Mostly all these services are free for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace4692:
The only active cloud service I'm using at the moment is Google Music.

I also have Box and Drive accounts but I can't find a use for them really.

I honestly hope Google allows developers access for apps to use Google Music. Pretty annoying.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
The benefit of signing up for cloud accounts when they first come out?

I've got 20GB of Google Drive space.... for $5/year.

I've got 25GB of SkyDrive space.... for free.

I use SkyDrive, Google Drive and Photobucket for my photos.

I use SkyDrive almost exclusively for my documents, because Google Drive still just can't figure out how not to **** up Office Documents. I use Google Drive as a backup to store my documents saved to SkyDrive, but never work on documents out of Google Drive.

I use Google Play Music to backup my music. Although I keep about 5GB of my favorite music on my N4. I only use Play Music to stream a song or two on occasion.

I use a DVD player/Blu-Ray player for my movies. I mean, really, I rarely want to watch a movie so badly that I'll watch it on my phone. Tablet, maybe, but definitely not my phone.

If Box is offering 50GB for LG phone users, I'll be signing up for that too. That way, if it changes, I'll likely be grandfathered in.

ownCloud

I'm very keen on trying ownCloud.

It's not easy to set up but it's free and I feel a bit weird about paying a stranger to host my files.

My cable internet connection is very good and my home computer is on all the time.

The upspeed is obviously not as great but I don't think it matters that much.

i'm s-on running Neo's Tron 1.2 (amazing btw). this is my first venture into rom'ing, and i've had a bad screen issue from the start. long to short, my warranty expires next week so figured i'd exchange it out. i need to get my phone in returnable condition, any advice? as always, the help is much appreciated. i don't plan to ask all these questions more than once lol
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
If you are s-on,

First relock your phone in fastboot using the following command:

fastboot oem lock

Then save anything you need off both cards.

Then download and run this RUU to get back to stock. Just put it on your sd card and boot into hboot.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/

Let it run through a few times, make sure it's finished so it can get all the system files.

Once it's done you will be stock again. The phone will say "relocked" in hboot but that hasn't been a problem with anyone yet.

If you are s-off you are probably already locked and I think you can just run the RUU but you should confirm that with someone.
[HTC Rezound] nrage23:
I was S-off and locked. I did not have to relock via fastboot. FYI Setting my phone back to stock since my DNA will be here soon.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Only after you are back to stock ROM and hboot and have verified that you are bootloader locked, if you want to put the phone back to S-ON, do this:

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

fastboot reboot-bootloader

*verify you are locked s-on

fastboot reboot

Simply put,

1. Run the game with gamepad closed at launch at then open when you are about to play

2. Make sure your mobile data or WiFi is active when you play the game.

I also recommend you use the 1.0.1 version of the game

Try these methods out and see the result.

Hello fellow Touchpad enthusiasts,

I happened to see TWRP has a version 2.4 available to us - http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/tenderloin

I saw it posted in other device forums, but not ours so thought I'd share the news.

About all I can tell you is it installed without any major problems. Nothing else tested other than boot into it and reboot to CM 10. I just moved ver 2.3 and copy/renamed 2.4 into same directory. Only problem encountered was old ver permissions were messed up so had to mess around before I was able to move the old ver. That and I reset permission on new ver to match - forget what I modeled it after - the other recovery uImage since I have them both installed.

As always ymmv.

Are you using the latest version? Twrp is working perfectly for me.

I just flashed shumash's new build with success. So flashing in twrp is now working fine for me. Going to have to investigate why my restore didn't fully work on my previous post.
