[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CyborgNM156:
I have been having this issue since oh I say about CM6 Nightlies 8/26-8/27 when the "Market Issue" crept up. And let me say I know that had nothing to do with this ROM per-say. I am using CM6 now on 9-1 nightly...Perhaps someone has\had the same problem.

No matter what I do using AppBrain or just the Market app I keep getting these dam force close on trying to download these 3 updates. 1. Handcent SMS and 2.Droid Battery and 3.Clockwork ROM manager. All of these apps I have removed and re-installed and then tried the market again...Still shows they all 3 need to be updated. Obviously when I am re-installing I am installing the last version I have prior to the updates that both sites say I need. Should I go into manage apps and wack all the updates for all 3 of these apps? Or is there a fix for the market itself? I have removed AppBrain and re-installed but that did not fix the issue either.

Now I have not been wiping anything on these nightlies I might add..And I have never had ANY issues other than the ones mentioned here. I have noticed the GPS issues as a lot of others have. But on 9/1 has ZERO GPS issues and locked in a matter of seconds. Also, I only can get ANY data via WiFi...<---A whole OTHER issue. But I know the fix for that. I just need to have my phone added with my Provider...Which is MetroPCS blah blah. I can get SMS and the Net of course now that there is a nice Proxy Setting which I hope that remains in the final build.

Anywho...Market issues anyone? Is there a way to wack the market.apk and re-install it? I have cleaned cache on just about everything I could think of..Re-set defaults etc on the 3 apps in question. Suggestions?

What I need is

Handcent SMS Version 3.2.9...Again I am NOT able to get to the market and I can't get on WiFi at the moment...

After further investigation ALL I need is Handcent SMS 3.2.9 I have the other versions I have NO idea why it keeps saying that I need to update the other two I have the latest of Gauge Battery Widget and ClockworkROM Manager. Hmmm interesting...:confused:

This is a recent and known google problem, not a rom problem. Google's servers have been overloaded, sot his is why the market is not preforming well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mstrace:
i'm having a similar issue for quite a while now. probably over a month but i've just been dealing with it.

i think it started when i put cy mod 6 on my hero after a complete wipe.

i can not install any apps. from appbrain/market it will go through the dowload process and begin installation. but the installation is always unsuccessful. for almost every app. i've tried restoring from myback up, titanium back up, app saver. nothing works.

i was just about to completely wipe my phone & sd card but thought i'd take a look here first.

any help would be greatly appreciated. =)
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
hey, another question on behalf of my friend. he has an unlocked vibrant, but is using an at&t sim card. How can we set up his at&t visual voicemail?
[Vibrant General] cashless:
You might wanna tell "your friend" to look for a Captivate system dump and pick out the at&t VVM app (if it exists) and install it on "his" phone. Then forward missed calls, etc to his at&t voicemail number which I'm sure "he" can get from the carrier.

That's at least a start.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
um... google voice?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
lol, why are you putting "your friend" and "his" in quotation marks. Are you implying I'm asking the questions for myself? LOL, why wouldn't i just admit that. Its not like I'm breaking the law. It's really for someone else, not my phone. I own the vibrant with a t-mobile sim, and he owns the vibrant with a at&t sim. Is that even something to make up and lie about? lol

btw whats a system dump?
[Vibrant General] AndroidZ28:
Why would anyone want to use carrier voicemail on an android phone? Google Voice is free...
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
I don't even know what your comment means. If you pay for your rate plan, and it includes voicemail, why wouldn't you use it. You have no choice but to pay for it.

This wasn't the point of the question btw, this person wants to use At&t visual voice... if someone knows how to make it work on the vibrant, It will be much appreciated.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Can Anyone Help?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
what he saying is that: http://voice.google.com -- it's free and it's better than the carrier's voicemail. When installing the app you can redirect it to Google Voice as your primary voicemail service. And "we" don't use the carrier voicemail because Google Voice's voicemail is better. Just because they give it to you, doesn't mean that you're forced to use it.
[Vibrant General] raduque:
You know, it doesn't matter. Maybe he simply doesn't want to use google voice? I don't want to use it, so I don't, and I wouldn't appreciate somebody trying to force it down my throat either.

If you can't answer his question, don't frickin' post.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
No one is FORCING him to do anything. It is pretty obvious that the OP doesn't know what Google Voice is, why be so judgmental about a service that he has never tried before?

And I can say the same thing to you, hypocrite.. nothing better to do than to start conflict over the internet?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Bug in google voice

Okay so I decided to test out google voice for myself, 2 things I dont like.

I set my phone to driving mode, so it would read the voicemail outloud to me. I don't like how it first reads out your given google voicemail number, for example it reads outloud +196151234567

Another potential annoying bug. If someone calls you, and you INSTANTLY reject the call, the caller gets a busy signal, or gets an error message, and they can't leave you a voicemail. You have to let it ring at least once, if you instantly reject the call, google voice fails.

Maybe someone can confirm this for me.

Hey did you fine a salutation ....

[Android Apps and Games] Sozage:
I'd like to do the following:

1: I'd like to have custom email, sms, etc icons that show how many messages I have. As you can imagine there would be many other uses for this.

2. I'd like to have custom shortcuts that perform system functions (turning on GPS, Wifi, etc) and reflect the on/off state of the function it represents.

Anyone know of an existing way to do this?

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] evilkorn:
1. There are applications on the market for this. You would just need to unpack it and add your own image, that would disable updates though and you would have to repeat the process for each update.

2. Power control widget?
[Android Apps and Games] Sozage:
1. Any idea what these apps are called?

2. I hate the look of most power control widgets... are any of them skinnable?
[Android Apps and Games] Advocatus Diaboli:
Use Weather and Toggle Widgets. The "Donate" version supports skinning.

I have set up openvpn on my HTC Desire running Froyo. It seems to connect fine, but if I attempt to use the tunnel or ping my server it fails.

If I run the following in terminal:

It works!

Is there a way I can set up my config file so I don't have to do this every time?

man, you saved my life

I was totally destroyed having all the OpenVPN set up and still not working

my phone did get IP address from OpenVPN server

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
So I use the T-Mo black gel case and love it. I get annoyed when I take the phone out because the volume rocker is loose and rattles.

I finally gave up and went ghetto. I took about a 1/2" of tape and rolled it up twice and left just a little of the sticky side showing.... popped it down and snapped the case back on.

Phone is snug, you cant see the tape (covered by case entirely), it is not going to move out of place... the volume rocker works, and best yet, there is no rattle.

I admit this is ghetto and should not be needed on a nice phone like this.... that said, it works, and works well. Anyone have any other suggestions (other than returning the phone)?

I'll try and snap a pic later... difficult now, as my phone IS my camera most days.
[Vibrant General] jsparakov:
So that's where the rattle is coming FROM! I have three phones from the Amazon fire sale and one of them was rattling. I has to shake it in a weird angle and the sound never came back. But I'm definitely subbing for this when the sound comes.back. thanks
[Vibrant General] rizzxx7:
I don't hear any rattling either
[Vibrant General] BossDj:
Didn't notice this rattle previously, now i can't stop noticing
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Sorry, not implying all phones have this... But it seems to be a common problem.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I have creaking/play on the opposite side. Pressing on the chrome trim on the right side of the phone in certain places gives me some creaking.
[Vibrant General] denny_1986:
i have that too...its the the battery cover.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ you sure? I was afraid it was the chrome.... I've not played around with it too much, denial I suppose.
[Vibrant General] jz9833:
I noticed it the second I pulled it out of the box. It is definitely the volume button hitting the back cover. i.e. the volume button isnt connected firmly.

To fix it I just got a silicon case with a tight grip to cover my phone. I know not all people want a case, but after having broke my N1 the week I pulled it out of its case I guess you can say I learned my leason. :cool:
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Yeah, Ive had the creak there since I bought it. Its been a pretty hot summer here, could that have possibly warped the chrome or something?

Got the Tmobile gel case on it right now, sort of remedies it.
[Vibrant General] dogmir:
I used a strip of electrical tape right next to the rocker it worked great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiway123:
Hi experts,

I am very new to android, and captivate. I have rooted and unlocked my captivate. It's exciting to find xda-developers here doing "flashing" to maximize "customized usage" of android phone. I have a question here, do I need to flash?

I am pretty satisfied with present settings (after 'root' from post in androidcommunity). But the only thing missed is cifs support for samba mounting.

My kernel now is 2.6.29-jetaek.lee sep-11#2, firmware:

PDA: I897UCJF6

PHONE: I897UCJF6

CSC: I897ATTJF6

Do I need to flash? Which one should I take? I also don't understand JM5+Samset1.9f (for example). What and where can I find explanation? Thank you very much for your input.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
Well if your happy with your setup then no need to flash..also make sure you read and completely understand everything before you attempt to flash or you can end up with an expensive brick...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiway123:
Thanks a lot for reply. Maybe I haven't used this phone too much to notice a problem yet. But, suppose stay with my current firmware and kernel, could I still use cifs.ko from somewhere to get samba mounting work?

Thank you for the input.
[Epic 4G General] bigwill4:
With my Touch Pro2, I was able to plug my phone into the aux port in my car via stereo cable, and I could still use the microphone. It seems that when I plug the Epic in, I get the sound... but the Microphone disables itself? Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I have looked at most settings but can't find anything.
[Epic 4G General] antidelldude:
I posted a similar issue about 20 threads down in this forum. My car has an aux and bluetooth for the phone. When aux is in use, the phone decides to disable the built in mic AND it doesn't route the calls over the bluetooth. 2 HUGE oversights in this phones design. Should be a simple software fix, but I'm not a good programmer. :(
[Epic 4G General] aindfan:
I use my car's bluetooth hands-free which includes audio support (no AUX use required, though music seems to sound better wired). My only issue with this setup is that I cannot use speech recognition; that is to say, the microphonr doesn't wrk when the phone is pairred. I'll keep my eyes on this thread in case someone knows a fix.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] ydoucare:
Just an FYI, the Samsung Moment does this also. I believe it has something to do with the ability of using wired headsets with mics, so the built-in mic is disabled whenever something is plugged in, even if whatever you plugged in doesn't have a mic.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
The Samsung Moment has this same issue, dangit. I was hoping this wouldn't. Is there a fix?
[Epic 4G General] antidelldude:
It is a matter of making a small app for the epic only, that over-rides the physical switch. Even better would be an app that detected when headsets were plugged in and it gave you options.

Where is the microphone located? Bluetooth, phone, headset

What would you like to use to listen to phone calls: Bluetooth, phone, headset
[Epic 4G General] antidelldude:
So, I was reading on another forum that this "issue" was not an issue on the Moment cj05 update. But turned into an issue on the cj14 update. Hey dev's that may be reading this. What is the possibility of finding the file in the cj05 update and overwriting it onto said file on the epic?
[Epic 4G General] kerms:
I have this issue as well.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
It's definitely an issue with the Epic. When in my car, I'd have my EVO plugged into my Aux jack and could still talk. Not with my Epic. Boo hiss.

Hope it gets fixed... as this is a pretty big feature for me to lose.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I have not discovered a software fix, but this should be a hardware work around. Hands Free 3.5mm Adapter + Microphone, with 3.5mm pass through.

I am sure you could find alternatives if you do not like the one linked below.

http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Adapter-Microphone-iTouch-iPhone/dp/B0034Z5GY8/ref=pd_cp_e_2
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
have you tested this? does it work?
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
So I found something out.

As described before, when the phone is plugged into an AUX port in a car using a 3.5mm cable the microphone is disabled when you get a call.

However I found out that it is not disabled at all times. Even while the phone is connected to the AUX port. I tested using google voice search while playing music via AUX. I also tested using EverNote to record a note with an active call in the back ground.

Point is the microphone is NOT disabled, the phone app simply ignores it. Perhaps using a different phone app other than the one included would resolve this issue. At least its a software issue and not a hardware problem.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
No I have not tested it. However I know the included headset with a microphone built into the cable work. Seems logical that it would work.
[Epic 4G General] UberPinguin:
How does one install another phone app? I didn't find any in the market.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I found one named "Dialer One" but I have not had a chance to test it yet. I will try after work.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
I tested and the app does not replace the default dialer. It might not be possible to replace it without a new rom.
[Epic 4G General] ckgan:
I have problem using the supplied wired headset. When placing a phone call,I can hear the other person,but they cannot hear me.I returned my first Epic. The second one has the same problem. THIS is a hardware isue. i tried using bluetooth headset, no problem. Only happens when using the 3.5mm port.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Actually, what you described sounds like a software issue. Considering the moment does the same thing after the c14 update and not before also points to a software issue.
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
Please read my posts above. It is a software issue. The microphone will still work...in other applications. It is only the phone app/dialer that mutes it.

I cannot fathom how Samsung would allow this, they include a Headset/Microphone combo with the phone, that does not work for making calls. That is like including a spoon with a hole in it with a bowl of soup.

Again it's definitely a software problem. Best way to get it fixed it to flood tech support with the problem till they are aware of it and issue a fix.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I read somewhere that if you use sasmung branded ones it works..but I have not confirmed it...
[Epic 4G General] gobmonster:
I thought this was an on and off issue. I could be sure ive talked on the phone with the headset plugged in..

I know for sure that if you answer the phone or make a call while the headset is plugged in the mic wont work, but i thought that it worked if you already have a call and plug it in mid call. Im going to give this another try (when i have time to annoy someone lol)
[Epic 4G General] ckgan:
It took returning Epic twice for a sales person to tell me that the supplied wired headset is only a headset for listening to music. It has no mic! That's why the person at the other end could not hear me. So ,it's not a defective 3.5 port. I just had to purchase a wired headset with mic to use with calls. I can of course use bluetooth headset. Coming from a Touch Pro,I've always had a wired headset that has a mic.
[Epic 4G General] ENCXBG1:
The headset that came with my Epic DOES have a built in MIC. I can make and received calls just fine using the headset that was included in the box. Anything plugged into the 3.5 Headphone jack mutes the handset MIC during a call. Even if it doesn't have a MIC. That's unacceptable. This doesn't happen on My EVO.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
I second this, my gf said I sounded much better. Here's a pic of its location
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
Ya, mine definitely had a mic as well and I experience this problem.- mid call, it seems to work fine.. But originating or answering.. No go. Such a pita.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I really don't care if the included earbuds have a built in mic because that doesn't help me when I'm using my car's aux port for listening to music in my car. I can do this just fine on my EVO and when I get a call, it still works fine. I can, of course, unplug my phone once I get a call, but I'd rather not have to do that.
[Epic 4G General] UberPinguin:
Sprint pushed out the DI07 update last week, which partially addresses the microphone issue.

Under this patch, when a line that does not include a microphone is connected to the 3.5mm A/V jack, call audio is routed out over that line and the phone's internal mic is used for input.

Unfortunately, this still doesn't account for the Bluetooth handsfree users.

I submitted an issue on Android's tracker, if anyone wants to follow its progress:

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11372
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
That is great news. Can anyone else who has updated confirm this? I have not updated yet myself.
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
Oh thank god. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes i've confirmed that the phone mic IS working with my aux or a standard pair of headphones plugged in.

Hallelujah, brothers! Seriously, that's like the one thing that cheesed me off about this phone since I use it so much in the car.
[Epic 4G General] UberPinguin:
If people watching this thread could please star the issue I linked above, I would really appreciate it.
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
I've updated to DI07...mic still doesn't work when the phone is plugged into the aux input of my car...bummer.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Works for me now after the update. Wonder if your cable is bad, or maybe not pushed in all the way?
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
Funny..I just tested this the other day with my wife on the phone. Since my Hero had the feature of being able to use the phone mic while plugged into the an Aux input of my headunit, I figured i'd try it on my Epic..what do you know? It works.

I did nothing special, just plugged my phone in, and it works for me. My wife was about to hear me, the plug was plugged in all the way, and I was hearing her out of my car speakers.
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
Not sure how the cable has to do with the mic working when plugged into my aux input...maybe it's the Boss ROM I'm using...might flash back to stock to see if it works..
[Epic 4G General] kangol69:
Stock di07 fixes this problem. For some reason in the Boss rom it still doesn't work though.
[Epic 4G General] antidelldude:
I am so glad you opened a bug tracker issue with android. I did ask Samsung who's issue it was, and what I would like to see in a fix. Surprise, no response. I hope this is resolved soon. This phone is much better for me than the evo. I can't use touch keyboards and swipe is a joke with the terminology I use in texts. It suggests words with every swipe.

Can't wait, with this one issue fixed, this phone will be perfect for me.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Good job. Ill go pick this up.
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
I've come to the conclusion that flashing custom kernels will stop the mic from working while the 3.5mm port is plugged in.

Use the stock DI18 kernel with any custom ROM and the mic works...FYI
[Epic 4G General] blastboi:
it works with me on the epic exp. 1.2.02 and mix up:o
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:
I just flashed the latest mix up kernel (mixup-20101017-955.zip) w/ the same epic exp ROM...guess what? DIDN'T work...either you don't understand what this thread is about or you have a magical phone :rolleyes:
