[EVO 4G General] Dmitry S @ Tango:
6 hours seems pretty low - We usually get about 4-5 hours of video call time or 24 hrs+ of standby to drain the battery on the EVO. If you can send me a screenshot of your battery usage monitor, I'll look into it a bit further.

Do you have 1.4.4451?

Are you still experiencing issues? You shouldn't be draining more than 4% per hour on a 1500mah battery with Tango in the background.

We put GPS permission in for future releases. We don't use GPS now.

What type of battery drain are you getting now that you re-installed?

Thanks for the compliments - we're expanding our team, so Tango should only get better in the future.

We filter out some Google contacts. I think the only group we filter out are the automatic contacts that Google makes when you email someone. Otherwise, you would see hundreds of garbage contacts in the invitation lists (and perhaps your Tango contacts) that you only emailed once.

Check to make sure that your brother registered with the same number that you have in his address card. Most of the time when people aren't seeing somebody, a digit or two got swapped when registering. Email me if you still need help.

Right now, we let the phone sleep for 10 minutes and wake it up for 30 seconds in order to keep the connection to our server.

The next version of Tango should reduce battery consumption even more.

Unfortunately, the Android system doesn't have echo cancellation built in, and each phone is slightly different in terms of audio. QIK has a push to talk button, but we suppress echo by muting the other side while you are talking. We are constantly tweaking the noise threshold, but in noisy environments, you may experience choppy audio.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, we will be working very hard to fix all these issues. I'm glad that people are passionate about this program and are willing to contribute feedback.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
@Dmitry:

The EVO community is definitely passionate about this app. Video calling was a highly touted feature of this device, but until Tango came along, we didn't have a cross-platform, multi-device video chatting app of any real quality.

You've come to the right place if you are looking for feedback ;-)
[EVO 4G General] gqukyo:
I have a newer November version of the Evo and everytime I try to run Tango, the app reboots the phone and constantly puts it in a boot cycle. I had to nandroid to get out of it...
[EVO 4G General] kamiller42:
Does this app upload your phone's address book to their site?
[EVO 4G General] jhdreamer:
I video chat from my evo to an iphone 4 w/ no issue using this app. Awesome.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
The app works well.. but my battery doesnt seem to like it at all.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] asiancuta:
after hours of reloading getjar's website and seeing the numerous temporarily down server overload msg AND interrupted downloads when the server would go down mid-way...i finally have it downloaded and available to install.

and it installed and runs PERFECTLY :)

**must be ROOTED with app side-loading enabled**

for those wanting to download it from GetJar directly...

go to http://m.getjar.com to avoid the whole select your phone, it's not listed B.S.

Thanks for the link. Wow finally a version that works on the Aria (non-rooted) _and_ its free!

(I'd gladly pay for an ad free version, if they ever sort out the android market bugs)
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zeyoner:
I've never played this game. Tried it and love it!

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Noz85:
Great game wish it was a little smaller.

So I'm rooted with the liberated Rom, but I still can't get it on my phone. I clicked the link above but it won't work. What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] asiancuta:
do you have app-sideloading enabled? if you're using liberated rom R004 or higher it should have an app to enable it.

if so, try downloading it to your SD Card and install from there through your phone.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] tak27:
Thanks for your help! I got it to work after messing with it a bit (and uninstalling like all of the games I had on my phone...)
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] matroe11:
You're the man! Thanks for the linkage. Installed and I'm working through it again. They definitely did a ton of cleanup between final release and the beta version.

Now, does anybody have a link or apk for reckless racing ?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] gungho2014:
apolagies if this has been raised but is anyone else noticing the game lag in particularly when the ads pop up?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] asiancuta:
yeah it lags more in the levels after you get the fat black birds. and the animation of their explosion is completely missing. not a huge issue though.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] bobbified:
if you intend on playing it for long periods, go to settings and turn off your internet/data connection before.. it stops the ads from appearing and *almost completely* reduces the lag.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] WilliamBK:
Fully addicted to this game beat all the levels, waiting for more.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealguy:
My screen goes blank when I try and press the hangup button. I usually have to press the menu button to make it appear, just so I can hang up.

Also, when I get a call waiting call, my screen also goes blank and I have to press the menu button to get it back, just so I can accept the call.

Drives me crazy! I read that these were firmware issues- so I was hoping it would be fixed.

Also - my phone keeps on restarting in my pocket all the time. I know because I hear the introductory sound sporadically.

Does Froyo fix any of this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealguy:
Does anyone have an answer to this??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakine:
A firmware upgrade and a factory wipe will most likely fix those issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealguy:
This is a common problem apparently. It was listed in Verizon's secret list of Galaxy S defects. I tried what you said, and it was not resolved with JH2 or a factory wipe.

Does anyone know if it is resolved with the new Froyo upgrade?
[Vibrant General] gridironbear:
Since the J16 update my phone occasionally restarts with incoming and outgoing calls.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Leukay:
I was cruising through the different forums on xda and found these amazing live wallpapers. The original was pink, but g4rb4g3 over in the nexus forums modified the colors and now there is a black, red, blue, and green version. The update.zip i've attached contains all 4 of the live wallpapers and the lib file. Just flash the zip and all will be good :) All I did was create the update.zip and bring it over here for us evo users to enjoy. Once again, credit goes to g4rb4g3 for the color mods

Hi

first of all thank you for so much info.

I spend more than 10 hours looking for a solution on other posts but can't fins a solution.

my phone is bricked and i am not able to get to the download mode or the recovery. before I bricked it I was able to get the download mode with adb with since i tried odin, i have the phone --!-- computer

I am in canada so returning it would be a hassle. any help would be much appreciated to get to the download mode

thank you very much
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeriousBizznass:
Download Odin.

Take out the SIM, SD card, and battery. Launch Odin, replace the battery, and plug the USB cord in, and just press down on the volume up and down buttons.

This should boot it right into download mode, then flash with Odin.

This phone is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to brick.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younescito:
man, i tried that maybe 50 times no kidding!

still no download mode :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athailias:
Hold the volume buttons first then plug in the usb. Thats what works for me. You have to have odin open first like he said.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younescito:
just tried and still nothing....

if somebody is located in montreal, i would love to meet them to check that out
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Having Odin open makes no difference if his button combo is not working. Unfortunately some people are not aware that there phone does not have the 3 button combo working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younescito:
what is your solution when you don t have the 3 button combo working?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catire:
The only thing you can do if there is no way to reach download mode is to contact At&t or samsung and see if they can repair the phone for you.

Have you tried using a different usb cable, someone mentioned that some USB cables dont work right with the captivate, try the one that came with the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athailias:
I know odin doesnt matter, but if he is going to flash with odin it helps to have it open first is all I meant. As far as that screen and no three button combo I think you are done... bricked... sorry, dont take my word for it though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amtrakcn:
I could enter download mode with key combination before applying Cog's Beta5.5...

I've returned my cappy for exchange.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younescito:
I am trying with the cable that came with the phone. I don't have another one.

I just bought this phone out of ebay. I will give it this week end to try and find a solution.

I really don't see any as of now but we'll see...

I will try return the phone to the ebay seller as i asked him before buying it if you could go into download mode! and he said yes!

man, I hope i find a solution!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
what happens when you try and start your phone normally -- boot screen loop, anything?

Can you get into recovery mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younescito:
when I try to start it normal I get the phone--!--computer

I am sure I tried recovery mode without any success. I am telling I spent so much time on this forum that my wife is going to start being jalous :)

How do you get to recovry mode again? I tried so many things, that I don't remember
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
you can't get the phone to be recognized on your computer? Could do ADB to boot into download.

But the battery trick should work.

Pull the sim, external sdcard, and battery.

Hold down the volume buttons and plug in the USB

Then jam the battery back in.

It might take a few times to get it.. but it should get into download mode. I just restored mine doing this trick when it was stuck on this screen.

Really we need to have a youtube vid of this technique :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Hold down both volume buttons then hold down the power button until the boot s screen flashes two times then release the power button.

Not sure if it will help, but I've also read that you should use the actual motherboard usb ports and not a hub or any kind of "external" ports (i.e. the ports on the front of the tower)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younescito:
i did all that stuff.

I ended up returning it to the ebay seller who will send me another captivate.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael.seltzer:
My download was working on cog 2.2 beta before i flashed back to stock using odin. Now when I try to enter download mode i just see the charging symbol. So the only thing that has changed is software. Could odin3 remove my download mode? What can i do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Its been a rough night for me. I did a Nandroid backup which turned out I needed to restore after something else failed. After restore I did not have what I expected.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up in a situation that no matter what I did, I could not get into download mode. Only recovery.

The good news is that after trying several different things, I finally found I had the original base rom I was using still on the SD card (even though I had done a Master Clear). I guess maybe the only thing that will empty the SD card is to format it.

I have no idea what I would have done had I not had a Clockwork zip on there.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] vinnyjr:
I also have the Nexus One and use the app No Lock to wake my screen rather then use the power button all the time. That app does not work on the G2. There is also another app called widgetlocker that works on the Nexus One but does not work on the G2, use both of those on my Nexus One. Does anyone know of an app. that can wake the screen by trackpad, volume or camera rocker???

Thanks,

Vinny:eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] etjrowe:
I'd love a solution to this. With CM on my Nexus one for so long, It's second nature for me to just push the trackball twice to wake and unlock my phone. I can't stop doing it on my G2.

Can I get some damn custom ROM goodness up in here, please?!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] legendary1022:
What do you mean widget locker does not work? It works for me, just press any hardware button and it wakes. Even the trackpad (which I use all the time). Try playing around in the settings
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] etjrowe:
I used to use widget locker on my nexus one, but it was buggy as hell and only worked half the time. It would either not wake, or for whatever reason default back to stock lock screen. Have they fixed these issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KidHuyDiet:
does widgets locker work on g2?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] vinnyjr:
I have tried using different set ups with no luck. Use it now on my Nexus OOne and it works great. I just can not get it to respond in my G2. Is you're G2 rooted? I have not rooted my G2 until the OTA update comes (if it comes). Any input you can give me would be very appreciated.

Vinny.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DToX69:
WidgetLocker works great on my G2
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] KidHuyDiet:
i mean the function to wake up the phone with any press on any button on the phone. does that wake up option work? because i tried it once and it didnt. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] etjrowe:
Ok. Just installed and tested WidgetLocker on my G2. I am temp rooting on boot with the current r8 version of Visionary from the market.

The Trackball Unlock setting works to unlock the phone when already at the unlock screen.

The Easy Wake mode did not work even when I also enabled the Root bypass of Five Seconds and used the HomeHelper launcher

So even when rooted, you can only unlock, not wake the G2 using WidgetLocker.

To me, it's useless. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] vinnyjr:
That is the same result I had with widgetlocker. I'm looking for the ability to wake the phone up when the screen goes out. I use to use widgetlocker on my Nexus but instead of sucking up all that memory with it I changed to nolock. Uses very very little memory and trackball or volume key will wake the phone without being rooted. Nolock does not work on the G2. That is an app I would pay for.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragnarokx:
I like how with the Touchwiz lock screen you can slide the button to open a new text message, but it seems kind of limited. What if instead of just sliding down for a text and up for unlock, you could also slide right for a new GMail message and left to toggle sound on and off like the vanilla lock screen? Is anyone else interested in something like this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
I am but I would want it to look more like the vanilla lock screen then touchwiz
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inferno4213:
If you're looking to make one, I'd absolutely give it a try. I currently use widget locker but I'm guessing something that's more native (aka not an app) would work much better.

When you get to the activation screen with the little Android guy, just touch all four corners of the screen (1 at a time) starting with the top left and moving clockwise and it will bypass the activation and take you straight to the homescreen.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 999phonebug:
Trying to setup a script to automatically encrypt/mount/dismount the SD card using dm-crypt (the same tool used in Froyo's app2sd).

Targets as below...

A wizard to setup disk/partition encryption.

The key can be randomized by the device itself, or manually configured by user, and stored on the phone's memory (the point is that the content on the SD card will NOT be readable once removed from the device.

Automatically mount and dismount during boot and shutdowns.

Compatibility with the native USB mount feature.

It's my understanding that the encryption/decryption will be done in the background and transparent to the user. I also understand that there will be a hit on the performance and battery life.

It seems that Android uses vold, and most dm-crypt guides out there involves editing /etc/fstab which is not used on Android at all.

Pardon my ignorance, and any pointer will be appreciated!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 999phonebug:
Anybody...? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 999phonebug:
Anybody knows how Froyo's A2SD system works? There's no cryptsetup whatsoever but somehow it can use dm-crypt to store the apps on SD card?

It seems that Android's vold has parameters hardcoded and compiled into the binary.

Furthermore, it's not necessary to to use vold to mount the sdcard, good ol' mount can be used (no auto-mount through), but there's no cryptsetup to setup the partition.

I would like to do some rough experiments but needs crypsetup, or setup a cross-compile platform for compiling a static cryptsetup first.

P.S. Someone had worked on encrypting /data but it wasn't finished before he's switched to N900... (my target is a bit difference through, to encrypt the sd card which is more easily stolen... if the phone itself is stolen, it wouldn't do much good anyway cause someone can use adb to access /data, assuming the key is stored on the device not entered manually during each boot)

http://androidvoid.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/android-encryption-using-cryptsetup-and-luks/

P.P.S. The DROID PRO is said to have both device and SD card encryption as well. I suspect dm-crypt is used. Look forward to see how it's being handled...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 999phonebug:
