[General Questions and Answers] attagirl:
A while back, we got an Obi 201 device and got rid of our ridiculous $65/month basic landline (we live in the sticks). I signed up for a Google Voice number and got everything working. The Obi works great with the same phones we used for our landline, just wireless Panasonic things.

I also set up the Samsung Galaxy II thinking it would be great to have that phone ring with the same number.

We're supposed to be able to use the Obi app for Android to call home when we're away, or to allow the kids to call us. While the kids can call us no problem, we can almost never get the Obi app working where we can call from the cell to home. It's really inconvenient at times.

So I decided to just go back to using the regular Tmobile number on the cell phone.

First, I changed the google voice app so that it wasn't responsible for making outgoing calls. This didn't work. I still heard the little google voice chime whenever I made a call.

Next, I uninstalled the google voice app entirely. Still no dice, weirdly it still chimes the google voice noise when I make an outgoing call. And trying to call home using the google voice number just takes me to my voice messaging system. I can't ring the Panasonic phones.

I go into Google Voice on my desktop and uncheck the cell phone number so it won't forward the calls. I restart my phone and try to call the google voice number, which should now ONLY be forwarding to the Obi machine - but I'm *still* getting the google voice chime and it takes me to voice mail rather than the home phones.

The only other thing I can think of is that in the Obitalk website the cellphone is entered, but it doesn't give me any way to delete it, and the status is 'red' suggesting it's not working.

What in the world do I need to do to this dang phone to get it to simply use the Tmobile number? It's rooted.

I searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone with this same problem. I hope I'm being super dense and missing something obvious, because this is a bit nuts.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You may need to reinstall the Google Voice app and go through the settings. Disabling mobile data should successfully force the phone to use old-fashioned cellular for calls. If so, then something's telling your phone to make VOIP calls over mobile data.

Also, check the settings within the phone app.
[General Questions and Answers] attagirl:
I have done all of that. Uninstalling the app completely - to the point where I can no longer find any reference to it in the phone settings, STILL calls out with that blasted google chime.

I reinstalled the app, and set it to never make calls with google voice, and it still calls out with the google chime, resulting in a total inability to call home - it goes straight to voice mail, thinking I'm calling myself.

I tried to delete my mobile number from google voice's website, but it says the account *has* to forward somewhere, even though my husband's google number does not forward anywhere.

If I un-check the mobile number to stop forwarding calls in the google voice website, calls stop coming to my OBI device, resulting in no home calls ringing, and the cell STILL calls out with that number.

I'm ready to throw this phone in the street and run over it a few times with the car. AUGH.
[General Questions and Answers] attagirl:
Should I just do a factory reset? I don't have any data that needs saving. I just want this stupid phone to be able to call my house when I'm out.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If that's the case, then go ahead and do that.
[General Questions and Answers] attagirl:
I did, but it didn't help. I begged for help on the Obitalk forums and finally found the setting I needed to change. For anyone else having this issue:

1. Add your t-mobile (or cell number) to Google Voice as a contact. Then, edit the google voice settings in the contact and make sure only 'ring google voice' is checked.

2. Then, go to the phones tab in the settings, and at the bottom click the 'edit' button. It's gray and hard to see. From there, click "advanced settings" and under voicemail check "no."

This will allow the cell phone to ring the Obi / google voice home number. Hooray.

Last night I was just browsing and the phone froze up and I had to pull the battery. This usually happens 3 times a day and it's just fine. But last night it just died. It still won't charge or turn on. Can anybody help? At this point i'm thinking about just getting a Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Oh I hate to hear this as you are a regular around here lately. Sounds to me like you OCd too much and fried your phone. I say that because of the many battery pulls you had to do all the time which is a symptom of OCing too high. Am I right on this or were you using a stock kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmason37:
I wasn't using an OC kernel. I was using CM10.1 stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Wow sounds like you had a bad phone then. Any chance you are still under warranty? If not well then if you can move on to something like the Nexus I would.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tquetski:
Ok, If you plug your phone into your PC you will probably see it recognized as a strange device, basically you have hard-bricked your phone and unless you have access to JTAG for your exhibit II and the ability to use it you are probably boned, It's rare for this to happen but it is the same kind of issue that occurs when pulling a battery during an OTA update.

Congrats, you won the Lotto.

Call T-mobile, tell them the phone won't turn on, don't resist and they will ask for your IMEI and all the related account info, you will be asked to ship your phone to them for a free replacement If you qualified under warranty still.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] IRX120:
Just get the n4 I'm getting one soon great price, this phone was good for a while but just too danng slow
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah I feel your pain. It has been a one year war to get this thing to perform without freezing, rebooting and so on. It's fine if you use a GB ROM like RR or CM7 but I've gotten to rely on Google Now and don't want to give it up. Trying CM10.1 with PBE kernel for a few days. It froze up a bit today but I think much of the problem lies with Superuser which seems to be slow as Christmas at granting super permissions after booting. After switching to SuperSu, OCing to 1612 max (ondemand) with SIO things are running nice. SO FAR!!! Use to think SuperSu sucked but I'm starting to find out the truth.

This is kind of a last ditch effort. I have someone who's willing to buy it and if they decide to, that's all the excuse I need to get another phone. I don't think I'll get the Nexus though due to the fact it does not have expandable memory from what I can tell and even 16gb is not enough for me as I have a lot of music stored on my card.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmason37:
Actually the Nexus 4 is perfect for me. I uploaded my music, picture, and video collection to Google. I keep like 1-2 high end games on my phone (most are on my Nexus 7). I'll be ordering the 8GB soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] NomadSpin:
This phone was designed to work on gb, period.With all due respect to all the devs work how bout improving on GB ?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
Why try to improve an outdated os? Just because a phone was shipped with or never updated past gb doesn't mean it was only meant to run that os
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] NomadSpin:
Why not? It was shiped with this os. Why not improve on it?

Besides RR ofcourse which is also a nice ROM. An do believe Exquizit (sp) but recall there was a security problem? Not counting Peach in this simply cause as i believe Jocala put it "debloated stock".

Any how just wondering how fast and smooth GB could be with the right dev on the job.

As the title says? Is it worth it to flash my 64gb exfat to fat? Will it loose capacity? Or should I wait for kernels to support it...

Perseous kernel supports it

The only diffrence is you will have a smaller max file size if u go to fat32

I am seriously considering this device. However, there are some things that concern me. How is gaming on this phone? Can you run tegra 3 optimized games without any lag using chainfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
Having owned both Tegra3 (Nexus 7) and Exynos 4412 devices I can confidently say that Tegra enabled games are more marketing gimmick. Dead Trigger game that supposedly had Tegra-only features were enabled on non-Tegra devices via a config file edit:

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/1...ics-on-dead-trigger-with-non-tegra-3-devices/

These days, Tegra-only games worth a darn are scarce and performance wise Tegra3 is usually behind Exynos 4412. Some games on Tegra3 are actually noticeably worse such as Nova 3, etc.

Hi guys, i've unlocked my bootloader and i've rooted. I flashed eXperience v.1.1 by Divaksh (stock based) and i want to return to stock ics 'cause i want to try cm9.1. Now the questions:

1- Will i have locked bootloader again?

2- Will i lost my root permission?

and the last: can i flash stock ics via CWM?

thank you :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Nope. Bootloader is independent of roms & kernels so you wont lose Bootloader unlock :p

But you'll always lose root if you flash Stock. And if you want to flash with cwm, see if anyone has uploaded a CWM flashable zip for the firmware. Else you need to use Flashtool :p

Hope it helps ;)

Cheers

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Prosper Meniere:
Thanks man but the stock ics flashed by CWM and pc companion said me i had to update the system even if it was already .54 version and any attempt to update failed because of my unlocked bootloader. The same firmware flashed by flashtool didn't need any update and finally allowed my to boot "pure blood" ROM. Thanks anyway :cyclops:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbswales:
I am the kind of person who likes to get into an operating system to see what it can really do and have recently rooted my P5110 - I went for the tablet first because I didnt want to "learn" on my more vital device, my S3. After few false starts I got it rooted. However coming across so many things I don't understand, and therefore don't want to touch yet, that I want to find an easy way to learn more about the OS and how it can be tweaked. I realise there is a lot of information here, but mostly you have to know what you are looking for and so a few videos or step by step guides about how and what you can do would be really useful I feel. I also find that that the rooting world seems to have more than a few myths about it- for example one thing I wanted to get around is the crazy and annoying restriction of no longer being able to install apps on, and move apps to, an external SD card. I am finding that although people are saying you can only do this if you are rooted, now that I am rooted I still cant, despite having downloaed apps that claim to do it. They will move to SD but not to extSD which is pretty pointless on the tab because from what I can see apps already go to the internal SD storage. Some people tell me its a Google thing and some say its Samsung.

[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
Viper 1.0.1 with elkay kernel is fantastic for battery life, not to mention fast, smooth and polished. Never had such a perfect ROM. Truly beats out stock handily. Have around 40% battery by 10 or 11 pm. If you tried Viper 1.0 with the stock/system write kernel, it's worth trying again.

But the installation sequence is key: Flash the ROM, then fastboot flash the elkay boot image, recovery flash the "return to stock - fixed" kernel modules, then the elkay kernel modules, then (unless you do the kernel flash before booting the first time) wipe cache and dalvik cache.

I briefly tried Hatka. Fast, but much less polished and seemed a bit flaky. Didn't have it on long enough to test battery, but it's supposed to be great. The other thing is don't try the cubed kernel, at least not now (he's working on it again - elkay seems to have stirred up some competitive juice). Crashes all the time, overheats my phone, etc.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You don't need the return to stock unless you flashed cubed kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
Elkay recommends you reflash stock when changing even from his kernel. Look at his uninstall instructions. He repeated those instructions in a recent post when this same controversy came up on his thread. The point is it takes about 10 seconds more (as long as you do it in the same recovery session) and is a guarantee that you've covered your bases.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Dsb himself said it is not necessary. The only reason that file is needed is because cubed kernel removes some files when you install it, and you need to put them back when you change to a different kernel.
[HTC Droid DNA] atishpatel2012:
did you flash a kernel? You should flash a good kernel with whatever ROM you end up using. It'll help with battery life and speed so give the Viper ROM with a kernel if you like the ROM. I'm personally waiting for the CyanogenMod...they just got the screen working but not radios today :D
[HTC Droid DNA] chameleon17:
I didn't see much of a difference between Viper and Super Charged in terms of battery life. LK's kernel on the other hand was a massive improvement. I'm currently using Viper 1.0.1 with LK's kernel and I can get close to two days of use on just one charge.
