Nothing you are asking for stuff that alt of people want did you read anything about what works and what doesn't when you start asking and making threads requesting things is like a slap in the face to the devs who already know what's wrong just be happy with what's is working, or at the last post in the right section, like the general section..or post in the thread of the build your using
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorHaa:
The question was not unreasonable. Was I complaining? I have searched all the forum, but nowhere I found a post about a good working handsfree feature. If there is anyone, who is not taking a forum-member serious, than it's you, thatruth132. If you don't have an answer, don't react. Everyone is making comments on builds, and that is what this forum all about. And say yourself, a basic handsfree-dialing possibility should be on a mobile phone. I was not slapping anyone's face.

I finally found a build, dat has the feature: mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.7][Kernel: mattc 2.6.32.9 #4, and I am very happy with it. All works fine!

And to all the other developers: I admire all your work, and please go on. Again thank you! :)

I'm using the Camera stream method to stream video from my phone to a remote server using sockets and the ParcelFileDescriptor method described im http colon slash slash markmail.org/message/kuz6tw5cbgbmqgrs. (I can't do the link cause I'm a new user, sorry)

It works perfectly with Nexus One and Desire, but when I run the exact same app on Samsung Galaxy S it goes crazy:

prepare() succeeds, but start() fails with no indicative exception (an exception saying "start() failed" is thrown), and the log contains hunders of lines like this:

"Recording is not ready (iPeer .... iState 2 iWriteState 1 iClockState 0), frame dropped"

any ideas?

I cleaned up my contact list, which seems to be the issue i read on another website, and flashed Skyraider rom to my phone. noticed i wasn't getting msg, so i went back to stock, same issue.

I can get msg both ways from my pc, or other programs, which makes it that much more weird.

Just wondering if any of your guys had this issue, and if so, how did you resolve?

May just be me but I've noticed with the update to 4.5, when using navigation, it causes the entire phone to lock up. Have downgraded to the previous version, no issues. Any thoughts?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E Double:
I had lock ups every time I had gps enabled with 4.4, 4.0 and 4.5. I've downgraded and then gone back to the most recent, and they all mess their shorts more often than not. 4.5 even locks up sometime when GPS isn't on. I was on the phone with those geniuses at T-mo tech support a few hours ago because I'm tired of lock ups, and lagging so bad system wide that I'm missing calls. They had nothing for me except sending me my third phone in 6 weeks. I'm tired of this garbage; I purchased my phone with the even more plus plan, which is fine, as I've lived outside the country long enough and purchased enough phones at the real world non subsidized price that I'm totally cool with spending 5 bills on good tech. But I do have a problem with spending that much and having to carry my 2 year old Blackberry Bold so I can make a damn call or you know, get some directions without the phone puking. And I feel some kind of way about basically voiding my warranty to flash a rom on there to get the phone to work as it should from the bloody manufaturer (no irony there, yeah?)

I just hope that this GPS fix and froyo come down the pike soon, because I don't have much more before I pay this phone off, toss it and t-mo in the street, and then try not to vomit when I join my wife on ATT and get an iphone. Most of the time when we go someplace I'm having to use her phone because mine is busy either locking up or deciding whether I can make a call or not. I'm not a big apple fan, but at least you can make a phone call or use maps without any undue drama. I'm sorry for the rant, but this is ridiculous.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
I have seen various people advise that using Google Voice for voicemail-to-text is better than the other web based or verizon paid services.

Has anyone done this and can they provide instructions on how to set up an Incredible to function as normal (using the REGULAR cell phone number; not GV), but which will have GV act for the voicemail and handle transcriptions?

Also, is there any cost to whatever the method is? In searching for this answer before posting, i saw an ancient LifeHacker article which talked about setting up the cell to do automatic call forwarding; but that there may be a cost for that.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bungiman:
First set up your GV account if you haven't yet.

Second add your cell phone # to your GV account.

Third, on the GV settings make GV your default voicemail service.

Now whenever someone calls your cell # they will get forwarded to your GV voicemail. Using the GV app you can check the transcription on your phone. When you are setting the app up be sure not use GV as your default dialer and that should take care of everything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Thanks

So I take it the more exact steps are:

1) Log into Google Voice

2) Settings -> Voice Settings

3) Add your cell phone number

4) Go to VOICEMAIL and TEXT

5) Set up your outgoing message, name, and other settings

6) Go to PHONES

7) Click on "ACTIVATE VOICEMAIL ON THIS PHONE"

How can #7 possibly actually work?!? Its up to Verizon to know, not Google!

What does adding the GOOGLE VOICE app to the phone do in this process?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bungiman:
I don't know exactly why the #7 thing works but it does, undoubtedly its a common code for changing voicemail (think corporate voicemail). The google voice app allows you to see the transcription and hear the message without going to the gv website directly. It also alerts you when someone left a voicemail.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtcarnes:
If memory serves, there is also somewhere you have to go in the phone to tell it to use GV. At some point in the process, there will be a prompt showing a sequence that you have to dial to complete the changeover... or it may just offer to do it for you... it's been a while.

EDIT: Be advised, the transcription SUUUUUCKS! It is, however, quite entertaining to read some of the attempts. That being said, my absolute favorite part is just being able to press a button and play the voicemail.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Hmmm

I would have thought it superior. I have done my fair share of impressing non-droid-owners with the absolutely dead on voice command interpretation.

Hey guys,

So I've been using CM6 for awhile, and I kinda got bored and want to go back to 2.1 roms for a change (and I need the bluetooth for the next couple days too).

Whenever I try to install any .cab now, it now gives me a new prompt right after I hit "Yes" to install the .cab. It gives me this prompt:

"Installation of (program).cab was unsuccessful."

It does that for every cab that I'm trying to put into my HD2. (BsB, DocHD2MMSFix, etc) Idk what I can do to fix it, I tried to soft reset it. It doesn't help... I'm really stressed out and annoyed about this thing. Anyone got anything?! :mad:
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
why don't you just hard reset the device. use pim backup to save your contacts/text/calendar/.... it's a breeze to get all your stuff back.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
are you clicking to download the cab and choosing 'open' straight from the browser? because i find they always fail if you try to do that. You must save them first, and then open them manually.

There. Now I've helped someone and plugged my own threads at the same time. Time for a cookie ;)
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Try using sdkcerts. It enables you to install unsigned cabs.

You have a problem if your HD2 doesn't even let you install it. In that case, you'd want to do a hard reset (but BACKUP your data first!).

the facebook connections are stored in teh contacts 'notes' field, so are restored when you sync them back after a hard reset.

[Streak 5 General] tr8rjohnk:
I've done a bunch of searching on this and can't find a thing; I know there are certain restrictions on the sims (locked) but that's as far as it goes.

I may be going to Greece (from US) for 2-3 months and am about to buy a Streak here in the US.

Can I use the phone there without having to go through AT&T's "overseas plan"? Can I, for example, use a Vodaphone sim or any other for that matter while I'm away?

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Almost forgot to ask, what type of speed do I expect compared to ATT's 3G?
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Short answer: no, you can't. When the phone is sim-locked, you can't use any other sim cards than att-sims.

Slightly longer answer: you may call att once you get the phone and tell them you will be staying with att, but you're going to greece for 2-3 months. they may send you an unlock code (see the other recently updated unlocking thread). i think you also have to buy the full priced version from dell, not the one with an att subscription. i just sent them a fax with a proof of purchase, because they needed to know the price i paid for the device... good luck!
[Streak 5 General] tr8rjohnk:
Seems like you have personal experience with this sort of thing.

So basically, buy a phone at full price and then maybe att will give me an unlock code?
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
Not true.

I've had att provide me with the unlock code for many devices that I paid the subsidized price for.

What you have to do is call them and request it, have your devices imei # available. once they tell you that they can't access the unlock code or whatever the issue ask them what your options are and if they don't suggest to open a case then request to open one. They'll take your email from you and you should get the code within 2 weeks.

Remember to be polite and when they offer you the international roaming package, just kindly deny it and say your more comfortable with using a local sim card. Also good to say that your going overseas for business so they take you nour seriously.

As for the data speeds, find what frequency the network in greece uses then compare that to the streaks

Good luck.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Why don't you just buy a rebel ii sim card?
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Well, i bought the full priced device - i can't use att when i don't live in the us.. :-)

1. calling att is cheaper?

2. changing sim cards often when using rebel sim ii is a hassle

3. rebel sim is not a true unlock, and it complicates everything..

but, tr8rjohnk, if att won't give you the unlock code, go ahead and buy a rebel sim ii.. :-)
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Well if you're within a geographical location that allows you to use att i would imagine you would use your att sim :rolleyes:

Yeah! shutting the phone down, removing the back, taking out the battery, taking out the sim, sliding in the new sim, replacing the battery, putting the cover back on taking all of 5 valuable minutes at the start and the end of your three month tenure could really bring a man down :(

Can you, or can you not, use any sim anywhere within the developed world whilst using a rebel ii sim? Yes! so why is it different from any other unlocking technique :confused:
[Streak 5 General] tr8rjohnk:
Good info, everyone, thanks for the input. I'll be looking into the rebel sim ii and also speaking with att.
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
well, me and att are on opposite sides of the atlantic - and calling att for 10 minutes is still much cheaper than ordering (and shipping) the rebel sim..

and cutting your sim? i haven't tried the rebel sim yet, (because i just unlocked my att streak with the unlock code i received) but i've heard it's more than just 'sliding in another sim'.

well, it's different in that you phone is still locked to a provider.. have you read any other threads about rebel sim? until rebel sim released the new firmware for their sims, 3g did't work properly.. as i said, it complicates things... i just punched in my 8 digit code i got from att (called them on friday), and the streak works like a charm with my (uncut) norwegian sim card.. :-)
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
guys, calling Att is for the US sold ATT devices. I'm pretty sure, but not 100%, that they can tell from the imei if it was sold via dell.com in the US or not. If not i don't think they'll issue you the unlock code, unless the unlock code generator that LBK Tech for At&t has doesn't distinguish the imeis
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rally187:
I have been using the sprint hero for a while now and after flashing the rom i like it works really smooth (for the most part) took a trip to Houston and the maps app really helped out down there. But one thing that really bothers me is how sometimes running just one app really slows down the phone. For example i took a trip to Houston and was using the navigation app downtown we were looking for a restaurant then all of a sudden my phone froze for like 6 seconds and then started ringing i ignored the call cause we're trying to find our way downtown and then it takes another 20 seconds to pull the app back up. its kinda hard to describe the exact scenario but it just seems that when im just messing around with it its fine but when im really needing to do something it always seem to take forever. sooooo.... my bdays coming up and my fiancee says i wanna get you that phone you want but before she gets it i wanted to ask people that use it. is it going to work better then the hero in these kind of situations? the last thing i was wondering? is the battery really that bad? i work at a hospital and usually pull 12 or 10 hour shifts and i dont want the battery always ending up dead.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Any phone is going to lag when you are using an app that needs both data and GPS (navigation) and you get an incoming call. It has to shut down the data and gps then answer the call before your caller goes to voicemail.

Obviously the EVO smokes the Hero in performance. I was running my Hero @710 w/jit before switching, it ran fast and good but nothing like the EVO.

If you know how to use your phone then you can easily get a day out of the battery. Just don't expect it to do all the cool things it can do all at once and also be conservative with the battery.

My opinion? Anyone who is considering getting an EVO should STOP spending their time considering it and go get one!!

I'm not a fanboy, I'm a fan. It's a remarkable device and I love it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aethowyn:
Understand that the Hero is a phone that was very good for it's time. Processing power has gotten much better but phones will not be instant. The EVO has some times where it goes slow. The iPhone has times where it goes slow.

To be honest, your phone was doing multiple things at once. You got a call during a time the Navigation app was doing its thing. A Nav app has a lot of things to process (your location, speed, calculators for time, etc.) and then here comes a Call - the phone has to process incoming call information and various other things.

If you want the EVO, sell the Hero. It will be an upgrade. For sure.

In terms of battery, turn off crap you don't need and you should be fine. I would imagine at the Hospital you aren't browsing the web your entire shift so it should be fine if the screen is off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imwillzillla:
The Battery life on the Evo is good if you are using it for texting, talking, even playing an occasional app or two. While you're at work I assume at most you'd be using it for medium use at which you'll have no problem battery wise (That did improve with the Froyo update)

The running of applications and switching from one section to the other is very much faster than the Hero. If you're coming in with slightly better expectations for the Hero use you'll be pleasently surprised at how good the phone reacts. Also if you are used to flashing your hero there are a lot of Roms that you can get that can actually make the battery life AND the speed of the phone improve all in one Rom.

It's really a no brainer. I'd naturally go with the Evo. There is also the Samsung Epic that you could go with if you're looking to get a physical keyboard. But typing on the Evo is 10 fold better than typing on the Hero. Good luck.
