Thanks it's working now!

I have android now and maybe you could just answer one more question, when someone call me or send me a sms or on youtube it's only vibrating, and i have tried to fix it in settings but cant find the problem. Does anybody know what's wrong ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabbieBot:
Im doing some backing up for a factory reset since im having some issues with the phone.

So I've pushed a lot of apps to the SD card, so theres info partly on my phone and partly on the sd card for these. Now, when I do the reset and use titanium to restore the apps/data, I imagine that it will remember that its both on the phone and sd card

But then, what I just do a normal apk install of an app I've pushed to sd? Apps fully install on the phone first, and then need user action to push to sd. Is it going to install the full app, or just the part that was on the phone before the reset?

I'm having trouble fully communicating what I'm thinking here, hopefully ya'll get the gist.

Slight tangent...after reading flipz's post about using titanium backup, what I'm getting out of it is that using it should be fine since I'm not changing the ROM I'm using, but the problems I'm having now (when hitting home or backing out of an app, the phone will spontaneously crash htc sense and the home screen will completely redraw as if i had rebooted) could be caused by an app i currently have, and restoring the settings might cause the problem all over again. Hope I'm reading that right.

TIA for any help!

currently ROM: fresh evo 3.1.0.1

current kernel: netarchy toastmod froyoized 3.7.6b

I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.

After running rom manager and asking it to reboot into recovery it no longer will. Stuck at HTC screen.

So it's safe to just re run unrevoked? Won't try and reroot my custom rom or anything?

I've been using the Fresh ROM on my evo for awhile now but decided to make the switch over to Cyanogen today. I got everything up and running and restored my apps and data, but now whenever i hit the home key i get a gray notification box saying "This feature does not support current system version.". I'm also using Launcher Pro Plus, in case that may have anything to do with it. Anyone know what would be putting up this message? It's driving me loco!

Any help is much appreciated. Love XDA!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
It could be the launcher, but I wouldn't be surprised if you restored too much data from your previous ROM and broke something. Or a combination of the two. Fresh and CM are pretty different beasts.

Go to flipz's site and read his "rant" about misusing backup apps. It's very educational.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afflaq:
are you by chance using switchpro widget with a 4g toggle for on/off on it? That turned out to be the app that was causing it for me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dkcldark:
First of all, I need to tell you who has made this AWSOME thing.

Have a look at here

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744655

Above is the original post written by justanothercrowd, A.K.A. JAC.

Thanks JAC for allowing me to release this!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

ALL RISKS ARE ON YOUR OWN.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Features and benefits are described in the OP.

So, I'll just upload the files needed.

Attachment has named as "I9000" and it contains two files which are;

initd_for_i9000_update.zip

vibrant_initd_for_i9000.tar

You NEED to install initd_for_i9000_update.zip first otherwise something bad is gonna happen.

And this file is only compatible with ClockworkMod Recovery ATM.

After that, Just flash the kernel, named vibrant_initd_for_i9000.tar, via ODIN.

Hope this helps you guys be comfortable.

cheers!

EDIT: this doesn't have the "dc2sd" script because we are having the brilliant tweak which doesn't need a MicroSD card any more!

EDIT2 : this is only for 2.1 based roms.

and it doesn't include the fix from "Quadrant score 2234 with rooted stock FW I9000ZSJF7 [EDITED 09AUG 0039HKT]" thread (actually, I've got one for me but it's rubbish... however, somebody must be working for it.)

this kernel supports the EXT4 partition but not includes a fix for it.

it's just been ready for them all!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcbooth:
As this is a kernel, does that mean 2.1 base roms only?

Or will 2.2 roms such as JP3 work?

Also, does this use the fix from this thread: "Quadrant score 2234 with rooted stock FW I9000ZSJF7 [EDITED 09AUG 0039HKT]"

But stabilise it through using the kernel and EXT4?

Maybe some further info on what this does please. not so much the kernel side, but the FS side.

Awesome work BTW :)

It works great. Only problem, if you receive a text while on the phone it keeps reminding you. I had mine set to ring and vibrate and the thing would continuously vibrate while I was on a call. I haven't had a chance to read thru the thread to see if there was a fix for that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] brianmay27:
Great!!! looks just like what I need. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] brent_si:
I was wondering the same thing.
[EVO 4G General] DeathBySnuggles:
My wife and I got new Blueant headsets and we're testing them out. The quality of the headsets themselves seem good enough. But oh my God, trying to use the phone's native voice commands, it is ponderous. Trying to call my wife I was successful 1 time out of I don't maybe 50 tries. I tried "open ...." with every possible application... "No results, please try again." And when the voice says "redial", "redee-ill"??? Seriously? Redee-ill???

Anyone have any tips or know of any apps that can replace this horrible system? I come from an iPhone 3gs and while I love this phone so much more, the iPhone voice command system was amazing. This voice command system is pitiful at best.
[EVO 4G General] Lyiondr:
I got Choice Dialer+ Free for voice dialing since the built in one was complete crap for me.

It works great.
[EVO 4G General] trogdor182:
Are you talking about Voice Dialer? Because I have absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. I have tried Choice Dialer + free and that thing is a horrible POS. It thought Market was Latitude yet the native voice system could get "Open Superuser Permissions".
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I love the Voice Command on this phone. I think you are thinking of something else though.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
It has the best VTT in the biz.

Might be a Mic issue.

Don't use voice dialer. Hold search and say call wife.
[EVO 4G General] Lyiondr:
Hrmm, maybe I am missing something.

When I hold down search by default it only does a google search online, even if I say "Call Daniel". It just pulls up a google search for call daniel.

Is this configurable? I tried looking in settings but didn't find anything that looked relevant.

Edit: This would rock if so. The search app almost always gets it right. I just have issues with the voice dialer app.
[EVO 4G General] lakeside00:
^^^^i'm having the same problem he is having^^^..
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Indeed I also have terrible problems with the voice dialing feature from my bluetooth's (Jawbone Icon, Plantronics 925 and Jawbone 2). All the headsets are amazing and have no problem when on a phone call. Yet voice dialing with them is seriously TERRIBLE. Using voice to text though for SMS,Emails are fine. Odd...
[EVO 4G General] DeathBySnuggles:
Just to clarify, I'm yalkinggg about the voice dialer. I said voice command because its supposed to be able to open apps as well but that hasn't worked. Voice search is incredible. In fact I tried voice dialing my wife and it failed miserably but saying the same thing inti the voice searched worked perfectly. It even spelled her name right and she has a somewhat unusual name. So its not a mic issue, its a voice dialer issue.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
while i don't use the bluetooth configuration, i can say i do use the voice dialer with no issues whatsoever. i usually hold the phone in front of me (not up to my ear, which is probably what i should be doing, lol), start the voice dialer (or voice search, both will work), and say "call *insert friend's name* mobile", or "call *insert friend's name* home". never had an issue. if it can't guess absolutely, it puts up a list of what it suspects are candidates, i click on it and go. same sort of thing as "navigate to *insert place i want to go*". works like a charm
[EVO 4G General] DeathBySnuggles:
I'm looking for this to work over Bluetooth. In my opinion using voice dialer right from the headset is worthless because it takes twice as long as just using the smart dialer in the phone interface. The whole point to me is to have the phone in my pocket and the headset on, use the voice command to make a call without having to touch the phone at all. Like in a driving scenario.
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
So I guess you're talking about voice dialing as in "EIGHT-ZERO-ZERO-FIVE-THREE..."? Is this so you can dial numbers that aren't in your phone? Because otherwise if the number is in your phone (or you're looking for a business) then I say, "call ____ mobile," as someone else has pointed out already.

Did the headset have any apps or anything you had to put on the phone? Maybe that part is buggy?
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
If you have a heavy accent what do you expect?
[EVO 4G General] DeathBySnuggles:
No I'm talking about contacts that are entered into the phone.

I tried Choice Dialer Plus and the voice recognition works great. Super accurate. My only issue, and it's a biggie, is if the screen is off, I activate the voice control through bluetooth, I say the command, it confirms, it won't actually place the call until i press the power button and unlock the phone. Then the call connects immediately. That's counter intuitive since I want to not have to touch the phone at all.
[EVO 4G General] Lyiondr:
I have to admit I don't use it that often. I just noticed that it actually is able to pick up what I say perfectly fine.

I have no accent but every time I try using the Voice Dialer application it shows me a list of names nowhere near what I said. I haven't tried it in 2.2 yet, but I assume it's the same.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
wowwww i just tried the voice dialer and holy bajeezus, what a pile of poop.

not one single time did it get anything correct. and it was even putting people names in there that didnt even remotely sound like what i said.

this was via the phones mic, not a headset.

voice search works much better.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
I guess my Chicago accent is what works.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
r u on 2.1 or 2.2? 2.2 is way better

however windows mobile still has the best voice dial hand down ... and it had it in 2005
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
I have a blueant Z9i and it works awesome. Flippin 10x better than the dialer on my old BB9630. I'm thinking it does have something to do with accent. <<<---Midwest here.
[EVO 4G General] mrsato:
Does that work if you don't have a wife? Does it call my FUTURE wife? LOLZZZ!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

It works for me just fine. I also find the speach to text to be very good.
[EVO 4G General] mrsato:
Actually, I was using voice search - which incidentally works to dial as well. I just tried voice dial and it definitely isn't as good, but not as bad as some of you are making it out to me. I guess it must be the accent thing. I don't have one. Maybe I should try a Chicago accent. Googling Chicago accent voice trainging........
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Lol in that case it maybe not.

I'm not sure if everyone on these forums has a heavy accent but English was my 4th language and I have a 95% success rate with voice search and around 90 with dialer.

I'm on 2.2 by the way.

Try the searchable items in search settings.

Make sure contacts is enabled.
[EVO 4G General] brnail:
Well I don't buy it...

While I agree that voice searching is quite good, the voice dailing, whether on BT or not, is absolute garbage. I don't speak with any particular accent (Midwestern) and speak particularly clearly when I try to use the voice dialing. It is a hit or (Usually) miss proposition and the best part is that there is no verification. It just dials...the wrong person. Coming from many years of MS VC, this is a very bad joke. It just simply sucks!!!!!

BTW, I am on 2.2. When I was on 2.1 it was no better... Well maybe it was. At least it did not malfunction on BT.... It didn't function at all.
[EVO 4G General] pbarrett:
What kills me is that even my stupid old Instinct could do a confirmation step, i.e. "Call Blah?" before just dialing the wrong number.

(Then there's Windows Mobile's voice commands, where you could also say things like Play Artist Blah and have it search your music collection.)

Can't somebody make an app that implements a better voice dialer, or does Android just not provide access to the necessary APIs to do it?
[EVO 4G General] awesomerobot:
Use Google's new voice search, it can dial people, find apps, etc - decent recognition.
[EVO 4G General] diomark:
What you should be asking is... How bad are the bluetooth headsets that you're using?

Call a land-line and check out the voice quality from the other end. most bluetooth headset controls fail miserably just because of the sound quality.

[EVO 4G General] Hanson68:
Google Voice Search is a worthless POS. Well, it does have one value that I'll get to later. GVS is slow a molasses, as accurate as blind chimp playing darts, will not confirm your choice by voice, and does bizarre things like recognize your speech but search for the phrase on the web instead of picking out the contact. I am mystified that anyone thinks this works -- the only thing I can think is that some people are confusing speech to text used when you press the mic in the keyboard (which works wonderfully) and the voice dialer app (which sucks ass). In 2.2, the entire Voice command interface was overhauled, and the result was still sheer garbage.

So what is the only value of Google Voice Command? Well, it prompted Vlingo to offer their product for free. And unlike GV, Vlingo actually works. It's faster, exponentially more accurate, and will find the thing you want if you prompt it correctly. Vlingo is the reason why I know I don't have defective hardware that is mucking up Google Voice. Vlingo has one achilles heel -- it will not confirm by voice. You can have it autodial based on how confident the program is with the match, but come on, that's not going to cut it. If Vlingo incorporated the ability to activate search by a long press from the headset and then voice based confirmation, it would be unstoppable. Without that ability, it is not truly hands-free dialing. But the feature that composes text messages is pretty awesome. Composing email is almost awesome -- it uses the Gmail app and not the HTC Mail app, so it will only send it from the default gmail address. This won't matter if you only use your main GMail account for everything. But if you have exchange or pop3, then it doesn't work. I've had this same problem with the share to email feature, so this is probably an Android issue and not specifically Vlingo related.

There's also a small bug -- if you pause your music program with your headphones and remove the headphones (have it auto-pause when you remove the headphones), the mic gets locked and won't work with Vlingo. You have to play and pause it from the music program or widget to unlock it. That appears to be an Android issue.

Voice Dial/Voice Command is the only thing I miss from WinMo, and is the only thing WinMo did right that Android gets so, so, so very wrong. You could make calls, play songs, open programs, tell you the date and time, and the battery life. And the funny thing is, I liked it but didn't think it was amazing because it had a few hitches. Looking back, compared to Android, it's state of the art.
[EVO 4G General] DeathBySnuggles:
Yeah it is nice. But for some reason I can't get it to use my phone contacts. I say send text to blah, hi how are you. And instead of the to line being blah (my contact) the to line is empty and blah is part of the message. Can't get it to call my phone contacts either.
[EVO 4G General] FishTaco:
I couldn't have said it better myself. The only thing good about GVS is that is forced Vlingo to provide their software for free. Vlingo has worked great for me.
[EVO 4G General] Hanson68:
I have read that the updated Google voice can only use your gmail contacts, so if you are using exchange server for contacts, you would have to import them into gmail for the dialer part to work.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
You do realize that the mic on the keyboard uses the same engine as Google Voice Search. And that the new version of Google Voice Search is actually really good at taking commands. I've had no issues, and most people praise it. It does require data, as most of the processing is done on Google's servers, but that's how its accurate without taking up Gigs of storage and slowing the phone down to a crawl. Use it with a decent data connection and its a lot faster. Wifi is usually best. The Voice Dialer app does suck, but that's because its some older tech that was in there since Android 1.0.
[EVO 4G General] Hanson68:
I understand the difference between the voice dialer and voice search, and that voice search is doing the same cloud based voice recognition that the voice to text is using. Which is why I'm stumped that I can dictate a text message that's 90% accurate, but the voice search gives me bizarre results. Perhaps that 10% is making all the difference in the world.

And it's not just me -- I would argue that at least half if not the clear majority of the people who use the new voice search can't get it to do anything right. Look at the thread title -- if it worked that well, why would this question be posed? Going by this board and a couple of others, "most people praise it" may be true only in the sense that it may be 51%. But by my estimation, more people think it sucks than think it works well.

Between Vlingo and WinMo, you can have good results from search without having to go cloud, so somewhere Google is really dropping the ball. And if you don't have a good data signal, the search crawls so slowly that I could have dialed 5 different people by the time it returned the wrong result.
[EVO 4G General] goodelyfe:
i really like it. vlingo is nice too... recognizes accents and the like

try not to be all in the mic, or too loud, etc and slow it down some. seems to work like a charm.

i know they say driving and texting is bad, but with swype and voice to text, it seems like they are encouraging us lol
[EVO 4G General] DeathBySnuggles:
Vlingo is nice and seems to work well. The problem with it and Google voice search as far as calling contacts is concerned is neither can be launched via a Bluetooth headset. From Bluetooth the option are the native voice dialer, which is the biggest piece of crap since the stegasaurus with an upset stomach, and choice dialer. Choice dialer seems to work really well but on my phone it wont complete the calling process without me unlocking the phone. Seems to be specific to my device though. So for calling personal contacts, I still say nothing is better or faster than just using the smart dialer.
[EVO 4G General] mario23:
I can activate voice dialing via bluetooth on my Blueant but it never gets the command right. Is that the old engine?

I might have to try Vlingo again...
[EVO 4G General] DeathBySnuggles:
Yeah you can use voice dialer from Bluetooth, not voice search or vlingo. That's the problem. I would definitely suggest choice dialer plus. I've been emailing with the dev to try and figure out why mine would activate the call without unlocking the phone and he has been super responsive. Whether or not we can work out this issue I'll be throwing some cabbage his way just for the effort he put in. I'd really like you to try it since we're both using blueant headsets.
[EVO 4G General] dodgeboy:
For me, Choice Dialer worked far better on 2.1 than it does on 2.2. It's actually been quite unreliable (and frustrating) since 2.2 (and since Choice Dialer became Choice Dialer+). Because of this thread, I installed Vlingo, and am very impressed with its accuracy. I'm going to give it a shot for a while. It seems to work better than CD+, which still works better than Voice Dialer. Voice Search is useless for me (for dialing), because all of my contacts are in Exchange.
