Hi,

I am looking for an app that speaks the name of the caller if a call is recieved. I tried saymyname and callerId but both of them does not work through earphones. but they seem to work through the speaker. I need this only if earphones are pluged in.

any hints for a working one??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
SayMyName Desrt. In Settings - Speech Settings -check Discreet Mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yaz00us:
Are you on froyo?

If so, you can try samsung's driving mode:

Settings->Voice input and Output->Text to speech settings

And here you have to install voice data if you haven't did it already and then check "Driving mode".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] hanhav:
Say my name Dessert. Atleast there is an option for headphones only.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] der_jensn:
Hi,

the problem is, that the discreet mode from saymyname does not work. I think there is an update on the market, will try it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTablet:
Hi All,

Sorry for the noob question... but....

I have an external usb 250gb harddrive that I have formatted fat32. How do I mount the drive in the G Tablet ????
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTablet:
OK... seems that no one knows how to do this... I am running VEGAn best 5.1

BETA 5 changes:

* NTFS support (this gives us the ability to mount drives formatted NTFS which is popular on Windows machines…. Larger File Support)

So how would I mount an external NTFS drive ??????
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
I don't know about Vegan (still on stock TNT), but with stock TNT, you plug the FAT32-formatted drive in, and it appears under /usbdisk. Have you tried plugging your drive in (the USB port under the rubber cover on the side of the Gtab) and then looked at /usbdisk?

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
P.S. For your FAT32-formatted drive, make sure that there is only ONE FAT32 partition on it. I think that there was another user who wasn't able to see his drive, but found a hidden partition on the drive (not sure, I don't think he responded definitevely).

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTablet:
Since I originally posted I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS since 5.1 is suppose to support this now. I do try to find the drive under usbdisk but is does not show up... I am quessing we probably need to create a new mount point for the hard drive but I have no clue how to do this on Android.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
Hi,

Sorry that I won't be able to help you on that, since I'm not on Vegan :(...

Probably need something like:

mkdir /mnt/ntfs

mount -t ntfs /dev/xxxxx??? /mnt/ntfs

though, I would have thought that vold would've automatically taken care of it.

Good luck,

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellis125:

zpad works

zpad v2.2 rom works great with my usb 500gb fat32 maxtor. its mounted at sdcard/usbdisk1
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bit Banger:
I had the same problems with mounting a external hard drive. Formatted to fat32, plug in correctly, disk led's light up, surely it must be working? :confused:

But wait, it works fine on the computer, why not the G tab? So what gives?

For me the usb port on my G tab does not put out enough power to run the drive up to 100%. It's all about amperage, and I found that my G tab did not output enough milliamps @ 5 volts to make the drive read / write. Some drives use less, some more, just depends on what you have. If you have a external powered hard drive that shouldn't be a problem. If your drive is trying to operate solely on a usb host, then it may / may not work reliably.

Anyways that's my G tab / hard drive experience and I use external powered drives with no problems.;)

(hint) If your drive is making a slight clicking sound when plugged in to the G tab then you probably have same problem I did.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joeviocoe:
Does anybody know the maximum current supplied by the GTab's USB host port?

My 2.5" 500 GB External came with only a short (single) usb A to usb mini cable.

And it gets powered up fine from every laptop/netbook I have tried. They have always displayed 500 mA max current for each port.(when I look in Windows Device Manager, USB Root Hub).

Can the G-Tab supply up to 500 mA from it's USB host port??

I want to make sure it will work on a GTab before I buy it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JudasD:
i tested my gtab and i get 488ma out of my usb port. that is the max i can pull. It's the same when charging or not.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoboy:
Old thread but this is EXACTLY what I was looking for when I registered here. I have TONS of 16gb and 32gb USB drives, SDHC cards, microSD cards, a few USB thumbdrive adapter's for the SD cards....I watch movies on my gTab from these various drives but I wanted to buy a larger external HDD. Didn't know if I needed a self powered one or if the USB port on the gTab would power it alone.

Looks like I'm buying an external HDD with a power cord! Too bad my 2tb one I have now is formatted to NTFS and has A LOT of data on it already......
[Defy General] runeblade:
So I have been playing around with making custom images for our Defy's here at work. I have just run into a little problem though. When I do a system restore, the phone reboots and the log into MotoBlur comes up. Only problem is that when i try to log in it gives me an error and says that a user is already associated with the phone. I can't get past this. Any suggestions on where I screwed up would be appreciated.
[Defy General] runeblade:
Hmm...now it gets more fun. I went to do a system reset, and when it boot all I get is the Android with a caution sign. Thank god its a company phone....
[Defy General] Higgsy:
press the bottom right hand corner of the screen, not much of a development thread really
[Defy General] runeblade:
Already got it back up and running. The Dev question more applies to how do I do the system restores without the motorblur app locking the phone. I know most remove motoblur but we are leaving it in place to make it easier to manage contacts for the staff. Has anyone else experienced that on doing a restore because I haven't been able to find it through searching.

Basically what I'm trying to do is create a corporate rom for the phone. Building in the Cisco VPN support, adding touchdown and a few other apps, removing the junk ones. I assumed using the system backup was going to be the easiest way to do this, but if it's not I'm open to a better suggestion of how I should be doing this.
[Defy General] Higgsy:
what are you using to create a back up?

If you have a number of phones, I would probably say easiest way is to get root, get everything working on 1, and then use clockworkmod recovery to create a full image, then restore the image on the other phones using clockwork mod. You could then remove clockwork mod and even root if you wanted on the other phones once done.
[Defy General] runeblade:
I am using clockwork at this point. That was what I did the full backup with. However with the restore to the phone, the initial Motoblur app re initiated itself but then wouldn't allow you to login into the account. Everything was still on the phone, but you couldn't get past the MotoBlur login. I'm guessing it's one of the packages I can uninstall, but I'm not sure which package is just the motoblur setup. Hope that makes sense.

Installed epic experience OS I like it a lot but I lost my sprint zone app and sprint tv, any way to get them back using this OS
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
First of all its a rom, completely different from an operating system.

Second, this should be posted in the q&a section

Third, go to the post where you downloaded the rom. it has a link for flashable add-ons. One of them gives you the sprint apparently back.

Did anyone have any succes in running PSX-ROMS on galaxy 3?

Please list the name of the game that worked.
[Galaxy 3 General] JoHnNy08PL:
Every game work at SG3. ;)

At Driver2 I reach even 50FPS! But the problem is in slow-motion. Games run 5 times slower than normal(you can see that, in games with some timers eg. Gran Turismo)

I mailed a developer of this app, and if he replies to me, I will post it here :)
[Galaxy 3 General] apoorv28:
It didnt work on my phone

I tried run a PSX-ROM on my g3 but whenever I selected a ROM the screen turned black and then came back to the select ROM menu. From where did you download the ROM. I games I tried were Resident evil 2& crash bandicoot 2 they worked with an emulator on pc.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfectedMushroom:
Having that many texts will cause her phone to lag a lot. If her phone is rooted, you can adb in the text database and delete the smsmms.db file....or the slower but less work way is to download "Delete old messages" from the market. It will delete them one by one so it might take about 30 minutes for 20k messages, but its no work.

Under "databases" folder

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
I know some people have been looking for these. Hopefully opening these up can possibly give us undocumented access to the camera and other functions, as well as someone possibly helping me with coming up with registry and file editors.

Included are:

- ScanSearch (augmented reality POI locator)

- PlayTo (LG's DLNA)

- Panorama Shot (one touch camera panorama)

- Tool Box (world clock, unit converter, world holidays, date calc, sale price calc, level meter, flashlight [uses screen, not led camera flash], random number)

- Photo Stylist (edit photos)

- Look n Type (uses camera to project what's in front of you while you type)

- Network Setup

- Voice to Text

Use at your own risk, I don't know if these apps will be like samsung's (work for everyone) or htc's (works for htc exclusively).

People, I've upped some more exclusive LG apps for us to tinker with:

- Metro Scanner (requested)

- QR Reader (actively scans, no picture taking)

- PostNote

- Today (basically Samsung's Now app, but has a twitter page that you can see tweets from)

- Weather & Clock (think HTC Hub, but as an app)

- Updated version of Scansearch (v1.2)

i tell you this in a minute but it also need to accept custom provxml

there is other tools to deploy provxml into windows but doesn't accept custom file.

YES

in fact prov xml are in the XAP so really simple to edit and deploy I hope this accept custom xml! i'm pretty sure yes!

if an LG USER CAN CONFIRM THAT CAN BE REALLY USEFULL

maybe a simplest way to deploy provxml on all device

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
Right, having gone through the OEM Applications, these are my findings with regards to them working on my Omnia 7:

Look n Type:

Works fine, no bugs.

Photo Stylist:

Only worked for me after a restart of the device. Strange, cannot find a reason for this to be the case. Still, worked as expected without bugs after this.

ScanSearch:

Worked, for the most part, though it always assumed I was facing east. It seems to pick up the orientation through a custom property implemented in the camera driver, which isn't present on other devices. Also, didn't pick up anything using Bing as my Information Provider, though that might be because they don't provide data for my area, I'm not sure.

Toolbox:

Works fine, no bugs, though seemed a little slow and laggy at times.

Panorama Shot:

No chance. It relies on those custom properties I mentioned in the ScanSearch section. I considered editing them out, but since they are for orientation, it'd probably seriously hamper it's ability to stitch the photos together.

PlayTo:

Requires a missing device driver. However, this was the only app to be signed by Microsoft IT, not LG Electronics. Also suggested that I could obtain the device driver by updating my copy of WP7 - suggesting there's plans to provide DLNA functionality across all devices? Warrants further investigation.

"build the same way as scansearch"

even it can do similar tasks i dont think its based on the same code

maybe its using a different call for compass

sure you can use a compass app, face east, and then open scansearch

but real fun is it only with compass working, im just hoping metroscanner is maybe working on all devices...
