[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zappacat:
What happened to voice call?

In google talk you could voice call someone without the video feature running concurrently. Do you always have to video chat with someone in order to communicate via audio? Am I missing something here. The voice only feature in Talk seemed to work a lot better especially with slow connections. How can I download the old Google Talk(last version) without have to do an OS reinstall on my phone and tablet? It really sucks that Google removed Talk from my devices under the guise of upgrading the program.

The current version sucks. Why take away something I'm already using that works and replace it with something that doesn't have the current features I'm enjoying? If you want to beta test their software go ahead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onslaught86:
Hahaha, this. So much this.

To be fair, it's not just Google that does this sort of thing, the Windows 8 People Hub is even worse. Interesting that communication applications that allegedly put the user first don't make allowances for a tragically common component of regular human interaction - the break-up.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
Specifically pertaining to the S4, but probably the galaxy series in general as well. I'm coming from my first android phone being a motorola atrix, so the steps and software is slightly different. Just picked up the 32gb ATT S4 last night and want to make sure I grab the right tools and understand how they work. Just looking for the right direction to look for a good Samsung flashing/rooting/modding/Odin 101 thread or explanation, the dev thread can get pretty overwhelming on information at times if you don't already have a decent understanding.

Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
With the release of Google Hangouts yesterday and the talk of it eventually becoming an SMS app as well, does this mean that Google Hangouts basically is Google Babel lol? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
It's not uncommon for google products to have different names when in the initial design phase. I wouldn't be surprised if Hangouts incorporated all of the leaked features of Babel. Hangouts is already a relatively-established product and Google has had issues in recent history of introducing new products (look at Buzz, Wave, and the first 6 months of G+).

On a side note, when I mentioned the name Babel to my wife, she said "They named it after the city that God smote for their arrogance? That's bold of Google." I laughed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:
I would assume so. I'm using the Google Hangouts app right now and so for, it seems like Google Babel and all of its incorporated features that was mentioned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Hmmmm interesting. Thanks guys.

Now on other note... what exactly is Google Hangouts? I never used GTalk so I don't really know the point of it lol. Is it basically like kik or like an instant messenger? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cbass15:
Think of it as a whatsapp for Google. Anything Google puts out is useful in some way some how.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:
Let's put it this way. It's going to be imessage/facetalk but for android. I hope more people start using it.

[Motorola Atrix 2] shouck886:
First of all, I'm a Sprint user, so the concept of sim cards is kind of foreign to me.

Just picked up an Atrix 2 for a friend, rooted, flashed CM10.1 from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2121029

Rebooted, everything's dandy. Turned it off, put in their sim card, and I still have no service. So I poked around, and under Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators, if I choose either Search networks or Choose automatically, I get an error. I don't have the sim card now, so I can't say, but one of them was "Error while searching for networks" I think and the other "Can't connect to this network right now"

I'm not sure how to tell if it's recognizing the sim card, or 2, if there's something I have to do to get service.

I'd rather not flash it back to factory if I can help it. I was hoping someone here could help. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Did you ever try it on stock? if yes, did it work there?

Also, what carrier are you using, and if it is not whatever your phone was sold for (ATT if it has the symbol on the bottom, but not sure if you are in the US. If it is not the same carrier, it must be unlocked, but it should have asked for a code. Does it give you a message saying no sim card ever, or does it just not work at all?

I know that was a lot of questions, but there are a lot of things that it could be.

Also, try just blowing in the sim card slot and stuff to clear it of any lint or crap that could be in there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shouck886:
Whoa. Brighton. I'm in Milford. Crazy. No, I didn't try it stock, but I just RSD'd it back to stock, so I'll try that next. I don't have the sim card with me. She had to put it back in her phone so she could have something. I'll try it in a bit.

Yeah, it's ATT. And when the sim card was in it, if I remember correctly, it just said "No Service". Before I flashed it to stock, it DID say "No SIM Card" So I guess it's seeing it to an extent. I'll try stock and report back.

Do I need to have the sim card in it once so it registers on ATTs system or something, then I can CM the thing? Like I said, I'm on Sprint, so sim cards are new to me. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
LOL, I'm Milford too sort of. Milford mailing, Brighton Township, but more people have heard of Brighton around here, so I use that.

Anyways, yeah that means it's seeing it and it is probably an apn problem. you NEED the sim card for any network stuff to work. let me know about stock, it could just bee that cm did something dumb, but my guess is you need the right apns for ATT, which I could give you. What phone is the sim from? it might not work with the A2 if it is not made for smartphones. once is stock, I would just bring it to the store if it doesn't work, and tell them to activate it, and they will give you a free sim.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shouck886:
The current phone is a Huawei something. Fusion? Fusion 2? I'm not sure. But it's Android, but it's 2.2 or 2.3. It's a pretty lame phone. I'll get back over there and grab the sim in a few hours, and see what it does.

So in theory, stock Atrix 2 rom, and her sim, it should just work, right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
It Should, but might not. if it does, keep the sim in and flash cm again if you want. if not, post a screenshot of settings--about phone--status

or just post the info of network through Mobile network state, and make sure the imei shows a number not some error.

also check under wireless & networks--Mobile Networks--Access Point Names and make sure stuff seems normal there. (should have ATT stuff of some kind)
[Motorola Atrix 2] shouck886:
Oh, I forgot to add that to the OP. I did look at the IMEI and there was a long string there. Not sure what it means, but...
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
That's fine. it is basically the serial number of sorts for the radio chip. it is distinct for all phones, and is how it is identified internationally for carriers and unlocking and such. sometimes with broken harware/firmware this can become unknown or something, so just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem. I would say there is a chance you need to get it activated from att. you can't totally share a sim card, as they want ou to add the phone to the plan, but if the old one is going away, it would be worth just bringing it in and asking for a new card.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shouck886:
That would probably be the problem then. I need to have att add it to the plan? I wonder if I can call them and if I'd need any account info. Dammit
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
what is the background of the plan. like what did you have before this phone plan wise, and what are you trying to do now. my guess i things are not set up right, which could end up costing you more money if you have an old plan or something. let me know, and I can see if anything is glaring, but you probably have to have it activated or something, I remember calling to activate i or something, but I am not sure exactly what the process was.

the only info the will likely want is the last 4 digits of your SSN (or whoever's the account is under), the IMEI, and maybe something from the sim card.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shouck886:
Her grandpa's plan. She's currently using the Huawei, and in the end, I want her running the A2 with CM. I have nothing to do with the plan, technically. I'm just trying to help out. I'll get that info, and give them a call before I try. Or while I try.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shouck886:
Just an update, ended up needing a new sim card. Then she lost the phone in a field a few days later. :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
LOL, classic, anyways, glad you got it to work for a few days at least!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] walrusaur:
Hey all, I tried searching for this "usb cable", "can't charge", "unable to charge device", but did not seem to come across anything. Either that or I'm blind...

Well anyway, I left my charger/cable that came with the HTC One (T-mobile version) at the SO's place, so I thought I'd try a usb cable I have at work plugged into the laptop. My phone comes up with a notification saying "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger".

I came across this the first day as well, when I used the HTC adapter and my cable from work. Since then I've only found that the HTC adapter + usb cable that came in the box will work. I haven't tried bundled usb cable with the laptop. Is this for real? Does anybody know what kind of charger/usb cable I should be looking for in case I wanted to get a spare or have an extra set to use?

tl;dr

HTC One adapter + bundled USB cable = will charge fine

HTC One adapter + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."

Laptop + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] walrusaur:
Nobody else is experiencing this? I have 4 usb cables here at work and none of them work. Thought they would've been all standard USB cables. Perhaps not eh?

btw these cables I have from work have worked on the Nexus4 previously.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] girlygirl00:
There was a brief discussion about this in a different section. It may pertain to your issue. It is on page 174 (on the xda dev app. I don't know if the pages are different if on the PC)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2234761
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] walrusaur:
Thanks for the info...it was on page 174 on the PC too. It seems to be a different issue though, with an adapter that has less than 1A input. My problem seems to come from the USB cable I'm using, since the HTC adapter + my usb cable doesn't work, but HTC adapter + HTC usb cable does..

I borrowed a different usb cable from my coworker and it seems to work in the laptop for some reason. He mentioned that he's heard similar stories like this before which involved different wiring of the power/data lines in the cable or something....in any case I just found it really odd that it turned out like this. As far as I know there's no indication of different types of USB cables...so how the heck would I know which cable to get if I needed a spare!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] clninja:
Not all usb cables are creAted equal..

Perfect example would be a usb cable from an LG G2X

On samsung galaxy s2. Turn the phone off and plug into normal cable.. turn it on.. it charges

Turn the phone off.. plug it into G2X cable.. turn it on.. it puts the phone in download mode.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Just a FYI, the page numbers may be different; one can setup the number of posts in a page in the user control panel. I think mine is set to 50, so I think that might be on page 6 for me if I'm using my PC. It's generally better to link just that individual post to be sure people see it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] walrusaur:
ahh that's good advice. Thanks.

For anyone interested, I think this is the first post I saw that was related to it (didn't look too far back to see the post s/he was replying to):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41239399&postcount=1732

There are a few posts afterwards, but in the end I think it was more of an adapter related issue rather than a usb cable issue.

Also, I managed to find another USB cable at home that I hadn't tried yet (it was a cable that came with a portable HDD), and lo and behold it worked when I plugged into my pc. So I guess it's just the usb cables I have at work that for some reason don't want to play nice with my phone. blah.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ericgla:
I have an HTC One X running ICS 4.1.1. I recently moved from AT&T to T-Mobile, and everything is working great except that I cannot enable the mobile hotspot function. When I try to enable it, I get the error "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the establishment of the Mobile Hotspot function"

Everything is provisioned correctly on the T-Mobile side, and the tech mentioned that AT&T disables the hotspot function at the handset level, Is this true, and is there any way to remove this restriction now that I am no longer with AT&T?

--Eric
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Yes this is true, and I don't think there's any way to remove it without root. However, I don't suggest rooting just to be able to tether since you could end up getting into even worse trouble without a proper understanding of what you're doing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ericgla:
Unfortunately rooting is not an option since I mistakenly let my phone take the OTA update to 4.1.1... Oops.. :( Do you happen to know how AT&T makes that change on the handset? If I knew the method that they used, I may be able to get AT&T to remove the restriction if I can get the right tech on the phone...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
They cannot remove it. It's a file stored on your phone that has been edited. without root access, it cannot be changed.

I have flashed many phones using both Parallels and Vmware.

I currently use Vmware with no issues.

There is/was a native way to do it called sbf_flash on earlier phones. I don't know if it works on Razr Hd phones because I just use RSD and Vmware.

Good luck.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vctrrl:
I have tried flash using Virtual Box running Windows XP. RSD Lite started flashing normally, but got stuck on step 14 of 19. Closed RSD Lite and rebooted... Didn't flashed anything, so no brick. I think I will try VMWare. I just would like to avoid because my Macbook Pro is a bit old (late 2006) so it's a little hard to run virtual machines (but running Virtual Box was smooth)

UPDATE:

RSD Lite worked flawlessly under VMWare Fusion 5 + Windows 7. Thanks everyone!
