Is the what'sapp app on here safe? It has an awful lot of permissions on it. 1st post, but I am digging this ROM lots.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hounie2286:
Sac, or anyone else, love the hd rom. Most everything is working that I can tell. I have however noticed that my signal strength appears to be running low. It actually shows 1x the majority of the time where I would normally see 3g on other roms. The speed of apps and browser don't seem to be affected much so I not sure if it is just the appearance. Any thoughts? Also any more testing of kernels? I just flashed last night and the stock kernel is draining pretty quick.

Thanks, keep up the good work!

does this rom support handcent sms? i havent found any that do yet.

Questions go in Q&A.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Please post questions in the q/a section or in the thread that you are refering to.

But to answer yes, flashing a kernel has no effect on data but if you have any sort of lagfix you may want to disable it just incase. Setirons froyo kernel has a universal lagfix and is supposed to work over other lagfixes of various types. The lagfix is managed in recovery mode which has been replaced with clockworkmod recovery.

For eclair roms unhelpful has a great kernel but a froyo stock kernel is just as fast in most areas. Also unhelpfuls kernel was not set to overclock by default. But you could set the gpu speed as well. The customizable clocks and volt started on version 1.4.1 version 1.7 was the latest and has voodoo lagfix.

Read the whole first post, especially the part about the modems.bin files. The 1.2 versions are considered more well tested, I'm not sure of the differences.

I odin flashed the kernel and did not change the modem.bin and people were complaining about poor audio quality in phone calls and my battery was draining, if you just flash the jpp modem.bin then you might not have the 850 mhz band so our may effect phone signal in some areas. There are instructions to get 850 mhz but it requires flashing to stock.

Sorry if this has been asked, I saw a video on youtube that said it did. So does have built in GPS?

p.s. search is temporarily down.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marixsmith:
No, the one available from sears doesn't have the chip. This device has many names and a couple different configurations from different companies. One is available w/ 3g radio, gps, and 1 gig of ram. It's available for order from some import sites. Ours unfortunatly is only 512 and no 3g or gps. with that said, their is support for an external bluetooth gps device.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinscuzzy:
Thanks for the heads up. Damn, kind of a let down(for me). It still is one of the best spec'd tablets out right now for the price. How do you like it????
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kov695:
What variant has those specs?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitar geek:
I can only answer for myself. I am using the stock software. I have not modified it in any way. I have been able to find enough apps to do what I want with the device as it is supplied from Sears. Would I like more, sure. I would like to have flash working. While I really don't care about youtube, it would be handy to be able to pull some things up for my music lessons. The guys on this forum have done more in 10 days than any other group that I have ever seen. They have mod'd this device all over the place. One guy has reported that he even has a wince version almost ready to release as a beta. Honestly, the hardware on this thing is fantastic. I admit the software is not up to the same caliber as the hardware. I am just too busy to play with mod'ing mine right now. I am going out of town for two weeks and I don't want to screw it up just before I go and then I will be pissed off the whole time I am gone. I believe the experts on this forum have said the device is un-brickable. And from all of the discussions, I believe this to be true and not just hot air. My advice - If you can get a refurbished one buy it fast at 279. If not then buy it on sale this coming Thursday for 379. If all else fails then shell out the 400 for a brand new one. If it can't do it now I am sure these guys will make it do it before Christmas. IMO :)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talk2Rider:
In the Malata link that Marican posted, it talks about adding GPS like it is something they can "plug-in" upon request. If that were true, it sounds like for $40, we might be able to get the same thing and stick it in the unit. Anyone have any ideas about how they are adding GPS?

not sure whats up...

sometimes it takes a while for message to come up.. or opening a thread... or switching back to main screen message. is it because there is too many texts? or does that not matter?

also sometimes the N1 is a bit glitchy to where ones where i have contacts for in address book, shows up as number without picture... like if i didnt have the contact added... then after a while, the name shows up again..

any ideas?

stock N1 on 2.2.1

[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
I use an app to back up all my SMS's to my gmail (tv.studer.smssync) and then have another app that automatically deletes any over a week old from my phone (com.carrotapp.smscleanerpro) - this one was a paid app, but only like $1
[Nexus One General] iandroo888:
what are the links for? does it work for stock N1? $1 is no problem as long as it works well..

how does it back up to ur gmail? can u see it on gmail?

*edit*

trying that SMS backup ... omg so slow.. 100 per backup... 24417 to back up.. >_<
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
It'll take a while, but then you can finally get rid of all those messages in your inbox. I have some 4k messages floating about in my gmail, but only ~100-200 on my phone at any time.

Also, in case you didn't already see, it creates a label in gmail called "SMS" so you have a threaded conversation list view of the messages.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
wtf? 24k texts???? Hope you use the voice texting feature, or your fingers might get a little calloused...
[Nexus One General] simms22:
i guess it not my business, im just curious why you would back up that many sms? why would you keep that many on your phone in the first place?
[Nexus One General] KAwAtA:
You can't expect 24k text messages and the phone running perfectly smooth.

Why are you keeping them all and backing them up anyway? Are you really going to sit down and read all of it one day? You're crazy if you do lol. I have about 4k right now and each thread is limited to 200 each. So it probably won't be moving from that at all. If I have to go through anything, I think going through 200 messages would be enough. If you're not gonna read all your texts and stuff, I suggest limiting them. Otherwise, backing it all up will just be a pain
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
24k texts? That's way overkill. SMS restore and backup has an option to just view your xml backups. If you need to read them again, just use that instead of importing them back to your phone. Messages take up space in the phone's internal memory so it's wise to clean up your messages.

But still 24000 messages? I can already already imagine 10000+ "Okies"...
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
Not at one time, that's my running total in backup (gmail). Like I said, I only have 100-200 on my phone at any given time.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
I recommend SMS Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu. The other SMS Backup app only backs up your smses to Gmail, which IMO is not practical for 24000 over messages. It takes time and data to upload so many messages to your Gmail.

SMS Backup and Restore on the other hand backs up text smses into a xml file which is much much quicker and easier to handle although 240000+ smses will probably still take up some time. Unfortunately it does not back up MMS messages with pictures though I seldom use MMS anyway.
[Nexus One General] iandroo888:

I have perm root with S OFF but have come in to quite a problem. I am having problems with the screen flickering on and off and need to exchange the device. The problem is, the nandroid backup that I made is inaccessible, and I have removed most of the stock apps off the phone.

The SD card I created the backup on seems to be corrupt, I cant even get it to mount anymore on my PC. Is there anyone that created a full nandroid back that can point me to the file (be willing to share)?

I have searched everywhere and can't seem to locate one.

As you should know if he's returning his phone he doesn't need to receive the OTA anymore. Just follow that thread. I had a rooted white one restored and took it back to get a black one. That's much easier then trying to use someone else's backup.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g351427:
He said he was returning the phone, so receiving the OTA is not really necessary.

Those instructions explain how to get it back to stock, as requested.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
OEM stock is 2.2. Post first OTA update is 2.2.1

I would not mind getting a hold of that, as it would make it easier to possible get the 2nd OTA (about which I have read nothing about what it does).

Also wondering if anyone has lost root and rerooted after the 2nd update.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
So I am absolutely fail.

On my first device, I guess I had just froze the bloatware apps rather than deleted them because they were restored after a factory reset before I returned it to the store.

On this one, I actually deleted the bloatware apps and they are permanently gone, factory reset doesn't bring them back, and I didn't do a Titanium backup until after I had deleted them off. ><

updated OP with source link
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
First of all,...Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for working on this... This was one of my biggest gripes with this phone and I couldn't understand why the "geniuses" at Samsung/Sprint couldn't get this right.

I've done some extensive testing in my car for the Eclair version and wanted to share my results:

For the most part, the app does what it's supposed to...but I did notice that:

1) the "on the fly" feature doesn't work so well. That is, when changing from one mode to the other, I had to reboot the phone to get the new setting to take effect. This feature would be great with an app like Tasker, which could automatically open up the app and ask you which setting you want to use when a headset/aux jack is plugged in,...thus giving you the flexibility to use the best option depending on your situation. Is there a way to tweak the app to recognize the switch without rebooting by resetting something like the mediashare service?

2) For some reason, the mic volume (volume heard on the opposite end of call) on the bluetooth setting is lower when the headset/aux jack is plugged in. I'm not sure whether the regular phone mic, speaker phone mic, or the bluetooth mic is utilized in this setting, but the volume is definitely harder to hear on the other end than when the headset jack is unplugged. I would guess about 20-25% lower. I tested this effect during the call as well by plugging and unplugging the jack while counting 1 to 10 and it's the same. Is there away to increase the sensitivity of the bluetooth mic when the headset jack is plugged in?

Donation coming if you can get this working! Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Strange, it works well for me - it takes a second to switch outputs while mediaserver is restarting, but never had to reboot. I'll look into this, may have accidentally tweaked something in the last build.

UberPinguin and I are still looking at the sources to find a better fix that works the way it's supposed to - the trouble seems to be that Phone.apk is actually selecting the 'correct' source and setting options appropriately, but the underlying OS isn't switching outputs. Restarting mediaserver was the only workaround I could find for this.

I hadn't noticed any volume issues but truthfully I haven't been using the BT often because of this bug - I've just been letting my calls go to VM instead of crashing my car ;) Volume selection should be working properly so I'll see if I can add something to select volume as well.

To be clear on the MIC, input should always be the proper input for whichever mode you choose - phone MIC for speakerphone and BT mic for BT HP/HS.

If you're on stock then the phone mic should be used when your wired device doesn't have it's own, however this is broken in all of our custom community kernels - Wired Headset mode should only be used when you actually have a wired headset with a MIC of it's own if you're using one of these, otherwise the phone doesn't enable any MIC at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinman02:
I should note, that all my tests were conducted on outgoing phone calls. I don't know if incoming calls are any different. I am using the Syndicate rom.

If you can get the bluetooth volume issue resolved, I'll likely leave it there, but it would be nice to be able to switch on the fly to speakerphone mode when bluetooth isn't handy.

Question: Does the froyo version have the same implementation?

Please keep up the good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Yes, the froyo version is the same - Samsung used a different asound.conf in froyo ( added in some interesting VOIP pcm ), so this is the only difference between versions currently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] getmoney2xl:
...So this should work on for Sip/VOIP apps like Sipdroid, 3CX, and Fring? I managed to pick up 3CX and Sipdroid through my bluetooth headset but no mic...meaning the other end could not hear me... There aren't that many good sip/voip soft wares out there for the Android today.. I rated Fring the BEST but with no bluetooth support.

EDIT: Nevermind... I read the post again.. I don't think this will do the job other than support for the actual phone.. but it would be nice to have that option for sip/voip as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
The SIP/VoIP stuff may work better in Froyo considering there are dedicated PCM devices listed in the asound.conf - however I've never used any of these applications, so this is pure speculation.

You're correct, this does only effect in-call phone audio, those applications would be handling (or in this case, not) the bluetooth audio routing directly. I've found lots of other similar quirks with BT on the Epic4G, such as the << and >> buttons on my A2DP headphones not working.

This has really peeved me off since I got the phone. Now what I don't get is why this obvious flaw has been ignored by Samsung and Sprint. Nice job on making it work like it should. BTW running stock 2.1 with root. No bugs so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperwitagun:
THANK GOD. someone fixed this. bugged me so much in the car when i'm receiving a call. will report any bugs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
bump, updated to fix crash in DK17 based roms
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
As others, I'm very grateful for this fix. After trying it out, if it works for me, donation on the way.

Regarding the MIC: My experience, all the way back to pure stock (IIRC) is that there is no MIC at all when a two-channel, stereo plug is inserted (headphones, cassette adapter, etc.). Every time I've been driving, listening to something via the headset jack, when a call comes in I can hear the other party, but they can't hear me at all until I unplug from the jack. So, even though there was no mic plugged in and the device was correctly sending 2-channel audio out through the jack (usually to a cass adapter, so I can listen via my car stereo), but doesn't "do the right thing" with the mic, even though the hardware and drivers are capable of detecting the absence of the mic.

It should, of course, default to the BT mic if there is a BT connection, or the built-in mic otherwise. For some reason this simple flow-diagram logic eludes Samsung.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
So I got my first experience with this today...worked great. I was streaming Pandora, phone call came in, music was paused and I answered the call. Once I finished the call, the music continued playing. Minor detail, but since I was on WiFi, is there anyway that the music could have kept on playing while I was still on the call for the sake of my guys who were still working while I was taking the call? It's great that the music paused and resumed by itself, but it would have been cooler to have it keep going while I was on the call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
Unfortunately Pandora's phone-state listeners control that, it'd have to be modified or their devs would have to add options for it. Would be cool though, I agree :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
I've got a hacked version of Pandora that allows unlimited skips, I'll have to ask the guy who did it to see if they can tweak that as well. Come to think of it, it'd be nice to have it keep going for the times I'm driving down the road as well so whoevers in the car doesn't have to sit there and listen to me blah blah blah.
