[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cparekh:
UMA stands for unlicensed mobile access, and, as I understand it, is a standard that allows you to seamlessly(?) switch between WiFi and mobile calling networks. This allows you to make a call over WiFi, when available, and then over a mobile network when not available. It is a service that T-Mobile either offers, or has offered.

AP Mobile is the capability to use the Vibrant as a WiFi hotspot. This is disabled in the phone, but someone has figured out how to enable it. You can read about it here.

As another poster said above, what most people really want is WiFi calling. Hopefully, this will be available for the Vibrant in a future update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearmonkey:
Tmo doesn't offer any UMA plans anymore (hotspot@home). Had that plan before I got the vibrant. Worked nicely but apparently didnt catch on. But it still had to create an ipsec tunnel to a voicestream.com address. Seems like there is a lot of synchronization required for such a seamless transition between wifi and cell towers. Doubt it would be emulated very well without a lot of cooperation with a lot of of the big mobile phone operators.

I would be very surprised if UMA came back to tmobile anytime soon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooterman:
t-mobile still has uma most of the blackberrys and the e73 support it. There is just no more UMA plan, UMA minutes are your normal minutes now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newkirk:
As you pointed out, tethering is covered now, if not "out of the box". (I set up mobileap day one on an as-yet unrooted Vibrant) UMA in all it's 'glory' requires the carrier (and your service plan) to support it, but for full calls start-to-finish over wifi VOIP does the trick.

I've not yet found a VOIP app I'm satisfied with though. And of course it requires you to have some (usually paid, to get landline connections) VOIP service to connect the calls.

IAX (Inter-Asterisk eXchange) might be better overall than SIP since it's essentially a tunnel that one or more calls, text messages, etc are passed through. (makes it simpler and more universal behind a NAT, as seen on many broadband routers, hotel networks, etc) Most VOIP services don't offer it though. (Teliax does - imagine...:)) I've tested with it from my Vibrant to my home VOIP server, but the app wasn't stable and I've not returned to try again.

SIP is the far more likely candidate. It just gets sticky sometimes with NAT. Things like no audio one way or failure of incoming calls to reach the phone are symptoms. STUN servers can help sometimes.

The GSM codec - the same used for voice compression across GSM cell networks - is available with most providers and IIRC only requires 9600bps (uncompressed PCMA/U AKA ALaw/ULaw are IIRC 64kbps codecs) so it's entirely feasible to use it across 3G or even EDGE. (though inherent lag on EDGE makes it unbearable - trust me, I've done that)

With most of the VOIP clients I've tried so far (1 week with Vibrant) for outbound calls the dialer will present you a choice of VOIP or normal cell calls, and/or you can select a default, aned you can override that default when dialing or in contacts. My Vibrant is extension 102 on either my home phone or my home office line, and any cell calls unanswered are forwarded to my VOIP line instead of T-Mo voicemail. (and a select list of callers will ring it if they call my VOIP line, at the same time as my home phones - could actually do that without VOIP on the phone, though)

All my VOIP voicemails are emailed to me as WAV attachments noting callerid and time/duration, which the email app picks up and alerts me to just like any other email. And SIP and IAX have provisions for 'text messaging', (and video too, though it's not often supported) but the server has to be set up as a SMS gateway to reach cell phones transparently, which is a pain.

Al in all it works quite well, if I can just find an app that's both stable and makes me happy. [disclaimer: I'm an ISP network admin and programmer, and I built/installed/configured/maintain my own home VOIP server - YMMVD]

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCanoe:
Greetings everyone!

I recently purchased a Samsung i9000m with Bell Canada. Thankfully I have not had any major problems with the phone, but there is one large annoyance I have discovered: Whenever the headphones are plugged in, pressing the button on the headphones cord starts the Music Player app. Additionally, removing the headphones also starts the Music Player app. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour from their phone? Is there a way to stop this irritating "feature"?

My phone is currently all stock/not rooted, except that I recently upgraded the firmware to JH2 (this behaviour also existed on the previous firmware).

Many thanks in advance,

Matt
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
The first feature is intentional. ( Why else would you press the button again? )

I don't get the second. ( It does pause when I pull it out, and it starts playing if I have that setting on, when I put it in. )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCanoe:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure I was clear. Anytime the music player isn't running (i.e. after turning on the device), unplugging the headphones will load the music player. Similarly, pressing the button on the headphones (i.e. to answer an incoming call while I'm driving my car) will also start the music player!

Basically I want the music player to only load when I choose it from the apps page or home screen...I almost liken it to a weird version of "autoplay" from windows computers...I wish there was a way to turn it off with a simple check-box!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daClaus:
Can confirm that unplugging any cable from the headphone plug will open the music player app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCanoe:
Well that makes two of us....I guess that means I'm not imagining things!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMReuffurth:
Doesn´t open Musicplayer when plug out the headsetcable on my SGS. Maybe you have any other music player widget or app installed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] format:
I saw that also. Better yet, even killing the app with autokiller, adter a few seconds... there she was again playing.

I was in transit that tine and could not investigate the problem. Didn't use musicplayer much lately so don't know if the problem still exists.

For me the trigger was the headset button. Click that sucker and you have an annyoing Musicplayer that returns from the deads.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil-doer:
yeah very annoying. i was just testing the tv out and it still starts it when unplugging the cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Just a FYI.

You'll get the same effect when using a Bluetooth Stereo headset

1 tap to wake up the phone

2 tap to launch the music player

double fast tap to skip to the next song

1 tap long hold to call last number dialed

... and there are more tricks, but that's usually what i do
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanikhil:
I have HTC hero (bought in india).

i had updated it 2.1 using OTA updates.

Recently i rooted the devices using one touch and had installed Rom manager to put a recovery image of cynagoenmod recovery image.

and later when i tried to update the lock screen of vanilla using update method of recovery mode i happened to crash my Hero.

I have tried the following to get it working but all have failed.

1. Put the HEROIMG.zip on sdcard and try the HBOOT method. - failed.

2. tried the fastboot method using recovery image but got the no remote found error

3. using RUU RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver which says USB connection errror.

now i need some help to get my Hero working. any help would be appreciated..please help me get this working..:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Have you got the correct drivers for seeing the device in fastboot?

And same applies for RUU. ruu needs the htc sync drivers iirc
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Have you gone back into your recovery and restored the nandroid backup? (which everyone should be making before doing anything to their system)

Assuming you haven't done this - couldn't you just go back into recovery - turn on the usb-ms setting and place a rooted update zip of which ever rom you want onto the sd card and flash that instead. You can even get official ones with root enabled (though i can't remember where I saw them).

Alternatively pulsar's method will also work - get the correct HTC Sync drivers installed (by installing the latest version) and you'll have the right drivers in fastboot mode so the rru should install.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanikhil:
1st thank you for ur response Pulsar and btdag.

My device shows in fastboot.

I have also have HTC sync installed.

but since my phone doesnt boot up i tried using the RUU with the phone in fastboot.

this give me USB connection error.

Then i disabled the firewall of windows 7, still no help.

Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong here..

another point , i had done backup when my phone was going in recovery mode.

but now when i try the home and power key devices stucks on exclamation ! screen which prompted me to go for RUU.

i havent done any goldcard backup as suggested in ur complete step by step guide.

If i put the update.zip on my sdcard i would need to be in recovery mode for installing that rt?

Also to mention the HBOOT mode doesnt recognize any zip...

So I bricked my G1 :( and considering myTouch slide as a new phone

Any feedback on the phone is appreciated, are you happy with ?

The specs online isn't very detailed, does it have all the features of the G1, like GPS, compass ..etc.

Anything you don't like about it ?

Also I would be using it outside the US, anything to keep in mind, or I just need an unlock code and that's it ?

Feedback appreciated

[myTouch 3G Slide General] rubbachicken:
I like 'em quite a bit... My concern was with the CPU being 600. I had the Intercept from sprint; it SUCKED. I had the Moment from sprint - it was okay but the data lockups on cdma from sprint are RETARDED.

Anyway... the CPU though; because of the MyTouch Slide's better GFX support it seems like the CPU actually didn't make any difference at all... The Slide actually performs better IMO :)

Also theres a kernel for 806mhz i think it was...

[myTouch 3G Slide General] romis138:
I upgraded to this phone from my G1 a couple of days ago. It's a lot more responsive and you can actually put widgets on the home screen and have fun with the OS without it running like poop. Had CM6 on both of them, the difference in performance is very noticeable.

Kind of a pain in the neck to root at the moment, but it's doable. The keyboard also takes some getting used to if you were typing before without looking, as the layout is set up a bit different - definitely prefer the G1 keyboard over the Slide.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcroach:
I apologize if this has been covered but I tried a couple of searches of the forums and google and didn't get a definitive answer.

I was researching rooting, updating the ratio and installing froyo on my Incredible and started to gather up the files and test my setup. I ran into a problem before anything really got off the ground. In order to complete the above process correctly the SD card should be formatted in FAT32 so I hooked my incredible up to my mac and formated using disk utility. Once I format the sd card with my mac the incredible lists the sd card as unavailable under >settings>sd card and storage. I have also tried the newfs_msdos utility from the terminal and again no luck. I am hoping that someone with a deeper understanding can point me in a direction other than find a pc.

Thanks

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldman_58:
When you selected format did you choose FAT32? MAC use a Unix (journal file System) format by default.

It is much better to power down the phone pull the SDCard and place it in the the computer for formatting, the Incredible has 2 memory locations 1 8GB internal (non-removable) and the SDCard that you an remove, when you connect to a MAC both memory locations will be displayed.

You very lucky you did not format the the internal location.

Hope this helps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruben1123:
Try formatting it via the phone. Settings - phone storage - format SD card. You can do that in every Rom but cyanogen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oletheos:
couple weeks ago i played around with disk utility on my mac too and my card stopped being recognized, it finally took me turning the phone off, popping the card out, and pushing it back in and it came right up. might give it a try.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Yes. This. I have a mac and I formatted my sdcard using disk utility to FAT32 and I have had no problems, but just format from the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradatz:
Are getting a 200mb partition and that's it or is it completely unrecognizable. Formatting it through the phone is the only way I've found to get rid of to clear that partition.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcroach:
I formated to the "MS-DOS" option using both utilities. The disk utility defaults to FAT32 and the other utility was specified as FAT32. The result is that after formatting the disk utility says that the device format is mac OS extended (journaled) and the volume is MS-Dos FAT32. I have tried both utilities while the sd card in the phone and the phone is connected and while the sd card is directly in a reader. I believe that while the sd card was in the reader, I may not have gotten the mac os extended formatting in the device but it still wasn't recognized by the phone.

I have formatted the card several times with the phone, to make it readable again after formatting with my mac. Unfortunately, I still have the stock 2.1 that the phone was shipped with and that formats the sd card to FAT16 not FAT32. I assume that if I buy are larger sd card the phone may bump it up to FAT32 but am just puzzled by the inability of phone to read the mac formatting of FAT32.

I have also tried turning the phone off and on after reinserting the sd card.

So, I guess, is there a way to force the phone to format into FAT32 rather than FAT16 from the settings.

Thanks

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunksta:
Download a utility called hirens boot cd. Burn the image and boot from it on a cd rom.this should give you a windows xp environment to properly format with among many other useful tools. I'm sure there is an easier way but I'm not that familiar with mac.

is it possible to share my GPS with my Ipad on my EVO?

i'm asking this question because i read this article "How to use an External BT GPS with the IPAD"

in the article it says the guy was able to use a bluetooth GPS keychain ( Freedom Input Keychain GPS 2000 Receiver) and have the ipad pick up the direct location.

i already use my evo to tether to the ipad, if i could 'share' the gps from my phone to use on the ipad that would be great!

Hey everyone...just wondering if anyone has any idea on what going on with my phone...

I have a US T-Mobile HD2...stock rom...not much done to it...with the exception of bsb tweaks and CHT...nothing else...

i noticed every time i receive/send an MMS message my data connection shuts off...it eventually turns back on and everything is back to normal...this is after a hard reset today...

before today...it was worse...after receiving an MMS it would shut the data off...then i'd have to turn it on a few times before downloading the picture from the MMS...

i called T-Mobile and they cant figure it out nor ever heard of this issue before...they're suggesting its a software issue and want to send me another phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Hello Guys,

I had a quick question. Currently, I am on the 2.1, Update 2 release on my EVO, but am thinking about getting the official updates for Froyo, that HTC released. Now, everything made sense, until I realized that there is a very critical app that I use on my phone which does not work on 2.2 yet, so I have decided to maybe hold off on the upgrade.

In the meanwhile, however, I was wondering, for those who updated to the 2.2 Official ROMs or custom ROMs built off of the official 2.2 updates, did you guys notice any updates or fixes from HTC on the Sense side of things?

For example, with 2.1, there is a known Sense issue, where the Facebook contact pictures don't automatically update for contacts, with assigned FB Profiles through HTC Facebook for Sense. For some of those coming from the WM world, that feature even exists on the Sense 2.1/2.5 on WM, where if you sync, the LASTEST contact pic is automatically downloaded and assigned to the contact on the phone.

I am sure there were other problems with Sense as well that shipped with out EVOs.

So my question is:

Can someone or does anyone know of a list of fixes/updates that HTC made on the Sense side of things, with the updates that shipped with Froyo? If so, can you list them here and confirm that they are working now?

Thanks to everyone is advance who responds, and thank you for reading!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Here's the one's off the top of my head:

Sense Launcher is smoother.

Messages app got a new widget and the text area is bigger. Also, you can easily attach attachments to your message by hitting a small attachments button right under the send button. Cool menu too.

Camera buttons rotate all four directions to make it easier to work with in any direction.

New set of calculator widgets in 5 colors. A couple other new and updated widgets too, I believe.

Calendar display's your facebook birthdays.

Alarm volume is more accessible. Never had a problem with it, but now there's at least three ways to change its volume.

I think that's about it for Sense. Settings got moved around a little and of course are a little different than stock, but mostly the same. One thing that kind of pisses me off is the cloud backup setting isn't in this version of Sense, which sucks because my settings are the only thing I can't back up too well. I was looking forward to that in Froyo, but HTC stripped it out for the time being. Weird part is the old development builds of the Evo's Rom had a similar feature, back in 2.1. They took it out and haven't put it back in after Froyo. Anyways, hope that helps. There is a small bug in HTC's calendar that makes it impossible to edit calendar events if you have a note in them, at least without overwriting that note with some other data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Thanks a lot for your response superlinkx!

It is a shame what you said about the cloud backup, but hopefully they get their acts together and add it in the later releases.

Can you do me a favor and confirm that the Facebook contact pic issue still persists in the Froyo release of Sense? I described that issue in my previous post. I appreciate your help, thank you Sir!

Looking forward to your response.
