You don't need Google voice that's a completely different service. Use google now its much better and it will search anything from any screen by saying "OK google" once you set it up. I'll attach some screen shots for you.

I forgot one picture, also here is a guide for the voice commands

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overzeetop:
Thanks, but that's actually not the issue - I'm trying to use Google Voice to that it sends my office phone number as callerID when I call clients from the road. Unfortunately, Google's brilliant (not!) use of "Voice" for the name of a service makes searching impossible to find help on the app. (Google Voice Dialing, as in Dialing with the Google Voice cloud app)

I'm actually using google voice for a second phone line I use with clients. It rings on my desktop and forwards to my cell. I would like to be able to dial out from my G3 using Google Voice so that the callerID that gets sent is my office number, not my cell number. As I said, if I select a contact from the GoogleVoice app, it asks whether to dial with the GVoice app (which goes through a telephone gateway with the Office CallerID), or to dial with the native phone app, which would send my cell phone CallerID.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
My apologies, usually people mean google now, I don't use google voice do I can't offer any advice, but I hope you find an answer.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3nJo1:
Groove ip should enable your google voice number to be the native caller id.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overzeetop:
Thanks - I'll give it a try; that's a VoIP solution though, right? I was hoping for an ability to direct dial (from the gv app). I'm still discovering some of the weird things that work better under iOS than android, and am kind of surprised when it's the native Google stuff that is "behind". O.o
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3nJo1:
Yehp, it's done wonders as my office phone, you could at the least have it request permission when dialing to which number you'd like to use, just a click away, about the same or less amount of clicks you'd use compared to going into gv, selecting a contact, and dialing. With groov normal contacts, select or dial, await popup for which dialer you wish to use, and bam!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranphi:
If you go into the Google Voice app on your G3 and then go into the Settings for the Google Voice app, you should see an option entitled "Making calls". In that section you have 4 choices to select from for how you want Google Voice to behave when you make a call from your phone using the native phone app:

1) Use Google Voice to make all calls

2) Do not use Google Voice to make any calls

3) Only use Google Voice for international calls

4) Ask every time I make a call

It sounds like you'd prolly want to go with option 4. That way when you go into the Phone app on your G3 and dial a number to place an outgoing call, Google Voice will pop up and ask you if you want the outgoing call to be placed with either your Google Voice number or your "real" phone number that you got from your carrier. This way you have the choice presented to you for every outgoing call you make from your G3.

I've used Google Voice for years now and this is how it's always worked. I use option 1 for my own needs on my cell phone because I just give everyone my Google Voice number and never give out my "real" cell number except to a few choice friends and relatives, so I always want my outgoing calls to show my Google Voice number to the person I'm calling.

Hope that helps you out. :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3nJo1:
That works too ^^^^^^^^

The thing is I started using groove when google voice would not allow me to make any calls using the app its self ....

*edit*

I forgot before I said that, yes you can make calls with gvoice, but your caller id will be some other number.

GrooVe IP will allow you to make a call whether on wifi or data (note the full ver is the one that allows the data call) Google's a thing..... and it will also show your gvoice number as the number you are calling from, as well as you can recieve calls to your device instead of just acquiring a voicemail to call back from....
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overzeetop:
[SOLVED]

Okay, so something that was installed, or uninstalled, as I was fiddling with the phone caused GVoice to lose its hook into the calling processes. Uninstalling GVoice and then reinstalling (from the Play store) re-attached it and now it seems to be working correctly. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overzeetop:
Just a clarification for future searchers - yes, this is supposed to be how it works but somehow my phone stopped doing this. No matter what the setting was, dialing from the phone app dialed with the cell number, and choosing a received message or missed/placed call from the Voice app would dial using the Google Voice interchange. It was weird and, apparently, very unusual behavior.

[LG Optimus G Pro] lesterp:
I bricked my OGP and after too many hours failing to flash stock on it I sent it to get the $50 MobileTechVideos.com treatment (they provide great service). In the meantime I bought a G2 on fleabay with broken glass for $115, also got a $60 LCD assembly. The G2 is a really easy phone to work on so screen replacement is quick and painless.

I have been using the G2 for a few days and couldn't help sharing battery life. My OGP had set a new standard for battery life but I could never get much over 3hrs screen on and still have 24hrs of use. Below is what the G2 can do in a stockish state (plenty of xposed tweaking on stock kk).

OK another useless thread ... Mod please close

[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Before you close the thread, my two cents:

I had a G2 for a couple of weeks but couldn't afford to keep it. My opinion: It rocks! I mean, the battery life on that thing is just out of this world sick!

I'm just left wondering what the secret is to that technology? How did they do it?

Not only that, but the screen is so bright in the sunlight as well! And its a good feel in the hands. I wish my OGP were as bright in the sun. But I gotta say, my OGP is a bit brighter than the Note2 I just sold for $118.

Just read tyhe anandtech G2 review..there is a big section on battery life, with details on how a combo of the snapdragon 800 and power saving during static display leads to such good battery life on the g2

Hi Guys

Trying to upgrade my PDA2k to wm5 but have a problem when installing new rom.

the instructions are ..

When you are done, press the "Mail" button

A white screen will show for a while - just wait.

It is presently clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing

My Mail button has decided its gone to god is there any other way around this ?

Thanks

[Fire TV General] lilcza1:
Note: This also works for mapping Touch Screen Apps to controllers, even mapping a mouse to your joystick if you wish to play flash based games or to make your own mappings. You can remap buttons to ANY DEVICE, so be CAREFUL!

I've been looking into a fix to allow the usage of multiple dual shock 4 controllers for multiplayer gaming and came up with nothing that worked on the Amazon Fire TV until now.

Since we aren't able to change the IME setup, there's an app that lets you keymap any device connected either with USB or Bluetooth. Its called Tincore KeyMapper and while it may come off a bit complicated at first and it has its visual bugs running on the amazon box, it works perfectly.

first install the app and run it. You must be rooted for it to work!

I also recommend you have a mouse to navigate easier and have all the controllers you wish to configure connected and/or plugged in from the start. Any new controllers added afterwards will swap "ports" with the other controllers and will occasionally switch players once a device rescan is done.

once its started create a new profile call it whatever you like ie. openBOR settings

click the magnifying glass(search) make sure to have System Internal and USB/BT *ROOT* selected then hit accept.

You should see all your devices that are connected to the box.

look for your controller you have connected and change the dpad, left stick and buttons to "click keys". You wont be able to make changes until you restart, so exit the app by clicking the 3 dot menu and scrolling all the way down to the bottom and clicking the the last item that isn't visible.

Re run the app and now you can set the keys for the found devices. Enjoy!

There's other cool features if you buy this app, and I plan on buying just because the app works even without IME setups. And the more support we give him, maybe he will make a native port for us in the future.
[Fire TV General] Spykez0129:
Or you can just use any of Robert's .EMU emulators that detects multiple gamepads and use them at the same time with no conflicts.

FPse for PSX does this as well.

Snes9x EX also made by Robert allows this as well.
[Fire TV General] lilcza1:
True, Reicast does as well.

But FPse doesnt work on the Fire TV, Nearly all Mame emus do not have working multiplayer including TigerMame, Reloaded, Mame4android, Jrioni, ReroArch, OpenBor, Paintown, All flash games and a number of others don't have that ability.
[Fire TV General] Spykez0129:
FPse works perfectly on FireTV, dunno what you're doing wrong but a friend and I were playing Twisted Metal 2 for hours the other night. I spent a couple hours playing Crash Bandicoot and Need for Speed: High Stakes just the other day. Everything I've tested on the emulator all have worked flawlessly.

Developer is working on getting the triggers to work correctly with the X360 gamepads as there is currently a bug in it.
[Fire TV General] lilcza1:
Thanks! i'll retry it now. I tried before with 2 downloaded copies and it just crashed instantly. I actually bought FPse on the play store, its by far my favorite PSX emu because epsxe is ehhh.
[Fire TV General] Spykez0129:
Fpse has a bug that the triggers in the Xbox controller don't want to work. He said he'd work on that a month ago and won't respond to emails. Epsxe developer sent me a beta and is working with me on getting triggers working
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenskelly1992:
Hi can people please verify if this is a problem or normal. I noticed the whites on the screen have a yellow hue to them from what I would call a normal position. But if I tip it at an angle the whites get purer and the colours better all together. Really bugging me. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveYorks:
Was just going to post this exact same thing, you bet me to it by 20 minutes!

Yes, my whites have a yellow tint when viewed head on, but become perfectly white when tilted at a slight angle. This is easily seen when viewing websites.

I assume it's due to the technology, disappointing given all the fanfare surrounding this display, but I still wouldn't change this tablet for any other, it's still far superior all round.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRevilatioNx:
I have it as well . Could be by design and part of the AMOLED. Not a defect per se?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenskelly1992:
Yeah I would never replace now it's normal and not just mine, just a shame because at an angle you can see what whites it can produce. Bit confusing why it's the worse head on?? Could it be software possibly? Slightly dissapointed as one of the things I didn't like about my galaxy note 10.1 2014 ed display was the yellowish whites.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
This is pretty typical of Amoled displays.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenskelly1992:
Really weird. Why wouldn't it the best on head on view? Confusing
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
yeah its amoled. my gs4 did the same thing.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenskelly1992:
So weird. But dossapointed with that. The screen is stunning other than that. Can it be adjusted through software? It can obvioulst produce better whites then it shows on the screen head on
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SrAdama:
I have the same issue, in fact, I've had this issue on all of my AMOLED devices. Head on view is either green/yellowish and from an angle is actually not pure white, as many here assume, but it has a cold blue tint, which makes whites look whiter. My Galaxy Note 2 that I still use has way more yellow hue on the whites but it's more evened out on the screen whereas on the Tab S it's always like a big round spot in the middle of the screen that moves around when I tilt it, which is kind of annoying as it's more noticeable.. I've been thinking about returning my Tab S because of this issue plus the fact that the battery life is horrible.. absolutely horrible. Worst battery life I've ever experienced. Should have at least double the battery life...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveYorks:
Yep mine has a very subtle blue tint too, but it's near enough to be of no concern. Battery life was terrible on mine, but only for the first few days, it needs to cycle through a few charges first to settle in, it's way better now after a weeks use.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenskelly1992:
Bit gutted. Was hoping the whites would be much purer. Other than that this tablet is a beast. Battery not too bad. Not great but a lot have said it takes a few days so will drain it and charge it a few times before I make a real judgement
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Not to be the fly in the ointment here while everyone is agreeing, but the whites on my 10.5 are stark white straight on without even a hint of yellow. I am wondering if perhaps the people seeing this yellow effect are also the ones experiencing significant stuttering and lag?

I have not seen this issue mentioned in any retailer user reviews and professional reviewers have extoled the whiteness of the whites. I'm sure you are seeing what you are seeing but I don't believe it is common for this screen.

Have you tried setting it on Cinema Mode and making sure Reading Mode is disabled? Also try disabling auto adjust on screen tone.

I would compare the white on my screen to a piece of typing paper. Here's a screen shot - this is pretty much exactly what I see in person. Lol, sadly if you are seeing your whites as yellow this will also appear yellow. I suggest you view it on your PC :)

Can you post an image of your yellow or blue screen. I'd like to see what you are seeing.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
Well I must be very unlucky with my galaxy s5 and galaxy note 2 because they both exhibit these traits which are very common with amoled displays. Google it and you will see. Whites have never been as good on an amoled display compared to an LCD display. It has nothing to do with lag and stutter! This has been discussed in many a samsung forum over the years. It's not just a yellow tint, but also pink, it just depends. I'm used to it now because the benefits of amoled far outweigh the negatives.

All I can say is cherish your 'perfect' 10.5. As it may be one of a kind ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I'm not disputing what you see, however I did post a screen shot and that is exactly what I see. I recommend you view it on your PC if your tab isn't reproducing whites properly. My question regarding the lag or stutter was to see if there may be a connection between this screen color issue and lag or stutter.

If you read Tab S reviews by both professionals and owners making comments at retail sites I don't believe you will see a lot of complaints about this issue. Also, the amoled screen on the Tab S is supposed to be the most advanced ever. The presence of discoloration on prior devices does not apply here.

As a matter of fact, I don't recall a single major Tab S reviewer mentioning this as a problem. There is the possibility your Tab S is defective.

P.S., I own a Note 3 and the whites on my Tab S are far superior. Whites on my Note 3 do have a slight yellow cast as you describe.

Can you post a picture of what you are describing for me?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avenging:
i dont find any tint at all on the whites of my note 3. i remember on my s2 and note 2 there was but my note 3 so far none...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
Posting a screen shot is pointless because everyone's screen is calibrated differently and you only really notice the off white colour when tilting the screen slightly. No major galaxy s5 or galaxy note 2 reviewer ever mentioned this either, but you can find plenty of stories in forums regarding the 'problem'. It's common knowledge in the forums I frequent. I don't consider my tab s to be defective. I consider amoled still in its infancy and will be improved on in future iterations.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
In the OP the author states that his problem is a yellow screen when looking straight on, not tilted. Of course the screen will show odd colors when tilted but who uses their tablet in that manner? Also you need to keep in mind that people posting in Forums have come there because they have a problem. It is not a fair representation of the marketplace as a whole. Forum posts regarding amoled performance of prior devices don't really apply here as those were less advanced screens.

Regardless, the screen shot I posted is what I see. Whites are white on my device. I do not question what you see although I would still like to see a screen shot out of curiosity. :)

To directly answer the OP's question as to whether whites appearing yellow when viewed directly is normal, I would say based upon my experience that no, it is not normal.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
Looking straight on or tilting slightly, whites are not pure white like a half decent LCD is.

Of course people in these forums are a fair representation of the marketplace. Without them we would only have the 'professional' reviewers, who are never bias, to go on. Yeah right. Give me a free gadget and I will write a glowing review. Thankyou very much, kerching! ...

It's nice to know what problems may or may not arise if we buy one of these latest and greatest gadgets. Also we would never find out about different tweaks, roms, etc, that make our gadgets run even better if it wasn't for these people.

You won't get a screenshot out of me for the reason I stated before.

I have nothing else to say on this topic other than what I said before.... Cherish your perfect tab!

Farewell.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I'm not sure why you are being combative. The OP is concerned about a yellow hue when viewing the tablet directly and I was hoping to help him with that problem by sharing that it is not normal. I also owned the Tab Pro and found whites there to be grayish compared to the Tab S.

We have an excellent source of unbiased views from average people, those who have purchased from retail sites such as BestBuy. As far as professional reviews always being biased because they received a free tablet, I think that would mean we would be seeing a lot more glowing reviews out there. Some can be quite brutal, especially Verge and CNET where they tend to love Apple products and disdain Android and Windows.

My Tab S is not special. Based upon what I've read it is quite normal.

Good luck. Enjoy your tablet :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveYorks:
I'll take a screen shot if you like, but you'll have to tell me how to do it! But I doubt it will show anything as I believe it's to do with the new tech (high res amoled) and is therefore device specific. Also people's colour perception will differ and therefore some may see it while others won't.

There's always a few tradeoffs been at the cutting edge of tech. I bought this tab mainly because it has the same screen technology that my future TV will have when I upgrade in 4 or 5 years time. I'm hoping by then that any teething problems will have been sorted. This Tab is just a step in that direction.

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

I've just looked at the screen on my HTC One S and just noticed for the first time that it does the exact same thing, and that must be three years old now, just shows what you can find when looking for it. This is undoubtedly a symptom of the tech.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Not sure about it being a symptom of the tech as the white on my screen has no yellow, blue or any other hue but white. If your Tab S is functioning properly truly white areas should appear as white. If your Tab S screen is performing at the same level as a 3 year old device something is definitely wrong. Super Amoled has come a long long way since the HTC One S.

When I view my screen straight on it is white. If I tilt it slightly it takes on a very slight pinkish hue, but of course I never do that. If your screen is yellowish straight on and white at an angle that is definitely not normal.

Here's a quick blurb from Engadget discussing the white reproduction on the Tab S screen:

"People have been singing the praises of Super AMOLED for what feels like ages now. Stop me if this sounds familiar: colors appear richer and more vivid, blacks are deeper and more sumptuous, and whites come through very crisply. All those of observations still hold true for the Galaxy Tab Ss, but they seem so much more pronounced and impactful on those bigger, 2,560 x 1,600 screens."
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenskelly1992:
Hey. Yeah my screen has an awful yellow hue straight on but looks perfect at an unnatural angle.

I've got mine on cinema mode and reading mode off .

I also have been in the majority of.people that think this tab is super quick even out of the box with no lag issue.

Might take into currys and see what they say and compare it to the display model.

But I'm pretty sure the store model I remember thinking the whites we're yellower than I expected them to be
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Hmmm, yeah it is definitely a quandary. Here's one thought. Perhaps your tablet was calibrated at the factory to be "warmer" than usual. I know that setting a TV to "warm" gives everything a yellow cast. So perhaps not defective as miscalibrated? If the other store models looked the same they could have all come from the same run hence the similar problem. Anyway, bum screen or just miscalibrated it shouldn't look or behave that way.

Good luck :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkedadrenaline:
I don't notice any yellow tint either... Also I see a lot of threads talking about over heating and lag. I don't find that either... Knock on wood...

And just my 2cents if I were experiencing these issues I'd definitely take it back...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenskelly1992:
I will take into currys tonight and see if I can replacement :)
