[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] youngWMuser:
have downloaded skype, pretty dumb that i am unable to make calls over hspa+, whenever i try to make a call it states:

"IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE SKYPE CALLS OVER WIFI" anyway to remove this?

Did not experience any of the background noise yet, the device is fairly new, trying to find out info myself to help others out, will follow up on any info i find out.

Re: Skype audio distorted on Atrix

I have tried with the NR turned off which should stop the second mic. No difference. Interestingly the Audio Tool app has an oscilloscope that shows seriously overdriven input- noise and clipping. Mirrors what I hear in test calls to my voice mail via Skype. If Qik works,but Skype does not, it must be how the app is accessing the inputs.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tha5150:
no update on this post in several days. do we know of any more updates? i am assuming Skype is fixing something and will come out with an update soon?

any time frame of this update?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] clubtech:
It is not a skype problem. it is a Motorola software problem as all VOIP apps on the market simply don't work on the Atrix.

Any application that is trying to access the sound drivers is having issues on this phone.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tha5150:
i guess i stand corrected. thank you for pointing this out to me.

is there an update in the future that we could be expecting?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] smashcz:
This drives me nuts. I need skype so bad.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] squarejp:
Not just Skype, Basically ALL VOIP apps aren't working because of how Motorola changed the api for the mic. Qik is the ONLY one that works.

Motorola acknowledge the problem and Motorola has to fix this ASAP!

Go root your Atrix and install the Modified Skype that allows you to make calls over 3G.

Skype3G.apk
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tha5150:
your saying Qik is the only one that works.. ok, next question, why can i download this for the iPhone 4 to chat with the wife?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] staplezatrix:
Skype3G.apk

I installed this APK in hopes that it would fix the skype problems on my Atrix. Unfortunately it has not. Has anyone else had any experience in this?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mbergandi:
Yep, I tried it too. Installed fine. Seem to get my account sync'd ok. Would not make a call of wifi or otherwise. :(
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] squarejp:
Appreciate for all you guys testing.

I have to clarify to everyone that Motorola Atrix currently DOES NOT support 3rd party VOIP apps. The only app that works is Qik and that is not even on the iOS App store so no cross platform video chat for now. I've contacted Motorola support and complained about this issue telling them it's false advertising to say video chat works when there aren't any work except Qik which Motorola doesn't even mention.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ririal:
Since when is Qik not in the appstore? http://qik.com/phones
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] clubtech:
It does not do video chat on the iPhone. read the app description on the app store.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ririal:
...right, which is not what he said. "Qik doesn't do video calls on the iPhone" and "Qik is not in the iPhone Appstore" are two VERY different statements.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Kodimar:
As far as I read on other forums this is an issue of Motorola drivers. Is it possible to replace the microphone drivers for regular google ones which obviously work on other phones?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Doxy17:
I have been experiencing some of the same problems, seems like many people are also having the same problems with just the phone calls! I hope this gets fixed soon! : (
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] :
and skype just released an update to the app that allows calls over 3G, it's funny because i already thought we could do that :confused: am i wrong? but it didnt do jack in terms of fixing the sound or mic or whatever on the atrix :mad:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] pagereborn:
just tried it,

static noise is still there but you can call over 3g in the US now

Hello

I try froyo by lazo rom on my g1 and for me it's one id the best i try ( lite and fast )

But i got a problem with the ext partition, it does'nt apear in internal storage.if i select alowed application move to sd ext it work, but after reboot all the application desapear...

I got an ext4 partition and a swap one done thrue RA

Is this rom need a special ext?

:eek:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edward0119:
if i select alowed application move to sd ext it work, but after reboot all the application desapear...

once you choose app2ext,you should reboot your phone,then install the apps.

otherwise they will desapear
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribalartgod:
Ok. I'm actually on this ROM now, and have been for a couple weeks. Despite the fact that the thread says to NOT use Firerat's ALL in ONE patch, you need to. The options you want to use are 2, 4, and 10 ONLY! Nothing else. This will force apps2ext to work on this phone/ROM combo. I thought all of this was fixed in version 5 of the ROM, but not sure. Any questions, the email is in my info to the left.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creezalird:
just flashed mine to the version 5.1 from previously ezGingerbread.

So far I can say the install on sd-ext functioned. Just set it to sd-ext and reboot.

Btw I don't install any AIO from Firerat as it is not advised to do so
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thi3um:
Ok for me i partitioned again my sd using gparted and now everything work. I think the problem come from RA partitioning.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
Take it from not only Tribal but from myself who are two very experienced members, if you don't want your data partition to be eaten up rather quickly then run the AIO patch options 2, 4 & 10 when you flash the rom, tried and fully tested working.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creezalird:
hurmm, could u please elaborate a little bit as i can't really see why my data partition will be filled up quickly.

As for now, every apps that I've installed, just go nicely into the sd-ext partition. (actually I've already read the comment about AIO patch in FroyoByLazslo thread, but just couldn't make my mind) .

And if it is really needed, should I reflashed everything back or I can just run the AIO? Thank you in advance

Update : I've tried the script AIO but got an error saying that MT3G dalvik-cache didn't need to be bind. It is normal ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nldxda:
i would like to know this too..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribalartgod:
You can just run the patch. No need to re-install everything.

Basically, the patch forces your ext partition to mount. Options 2 and 4 kind of work hand in hand with each other, while option 10 is a dalvik cache bind point. If you get an error with option 10, disregard.

In forcing the mount of ext, this ensures that future apps continue to properly install on the ext partition. they will still have a bind point, so don't fret. This is MUCH better than the ext option "possibly" messing up and your precious internal storage gets eaten away. While this has probably been fixed by now, since they are now in version 5.2 at the time of this post, I take no chances. LOL..

Believe it or not there are actually a lot of people that don't know this but, if you want to get Windows 7 to recognize your device without having to install SDK or manually installing drivers or you feel like you're just stuck. Go to this site, http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php download and install PDAnet and it will fix your drivers issues !! Just wanted to post a topic about this because I've had quite a few people ask me about getting drivers for HTC to work with Windows 7. :cool:
[Droid Eris General] mjb413:
i pulled the driver out of the install for htc sync. it is a zip file posted here: http://www.multiupload.com/C2VKYM1RDH

Note: this is a file to extract on your computer in order to point your windows 7 search for drivers to the correct folder. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH IT :-P

it worked for me. if it doesn't work for you, let me know and i will pull it.
[Droid Eris General] Pauly2277:
You can also download the driver files from htc http://developer.htc.com/ thats what i use :)
[Droid Eris General] wildstang83:
Yea pretty much just used HTC Sync. Never had an issue on either of my Win7 PCs.
[Droid Eris General] spc_hicks09:
Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying I myself am having problems with the drivers. Just have had a lot of people ask me about them over time and figured I would tell them about installing PDAnet as a little workaround. :D
[Droid Eris General] Sir_Eagle:
I don't remember ever doing anything except plugging my Eris in and letting Win7 find drivers.
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm guessing you're the one who recommended that link in another thread, that I thanked you for. I'm a "latest version hound", so I was very happy to find that file at the bottom of the list at that link that has just the very latest HTC drivers alone, no HTC Sync, and that both the ADB and the RNDIS drivers were updated in October or so. Probably won't make any practical difference, but it's nice to be updated. :D
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I work on people's computers for a living, so I install Windows 7, both 32 and 64-bit, quite a lot (several times a week). I believe you. I just have to say that Windows 7 most definitely (not even with SP1, which I'm using) still doesn't include any of the Android drivers.

I don't recall if Windows/Microsoft Update might have the drivers, so that if you have Windows 7 set to look online for drivers it might've found them there. I'm guessing that might've been how your Windows 7 retrieved the drivers. Either that or you didn't realize or remember that you had already installed HTC Sync or something else which included them.

This isn't a flame or anything, so I hope it doesn't appear to be.

I will add that I avoid drivers coming from Microsoft Update except as a last alternative, since they are normally not up to date, and/or crippled versions of the full driver installations from the original manufacturers.
[Droid Eris General] Eris1981:
This is all I did, and I did not have to search online for them, I plug my phone into 3 different Win 7 machines regularly.
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Maybe we're talking about two different things. If you're only referring to mounting the phone as a USB storage, then I think that'll work without any special drivers; as far as Windows is concerned, it's just another thumb drive.

It's for using ADB or any Windows software which uses ADB that requires the drivers which are not included in Windows 7. Also for tethering, which is a separate driver than the one for ADB. http://developer.htc.com/ at the bottom of the list has an updated zip with drivers dated from October or November. It includes drivers for both ADB and RDNIS (used for tethering) for Windows XP, Vista, and 7; 32 and 64-bit in the cases of Vista and 7. It doesn't include drivers for 64-bit XP, but that should be so much even more rarer now than it was even when before Vista came out.

No idea what all drivers PDANet includes. As an OEM, I always go straight to the manufacturer for drivers. Not always user friendly for the average user, but if you know how to navigate around the different manufacturer's websites, then you always wind up with the most up to date, bug-free and feature-full driver.
[Droid Eris General] spc_hicks09:
Didn't mean for this post to turn in to "who has the better way to get drivers." This was simply a post for a little tip that a lot of people don't know about. No need for everyone to list where they get drivers from and why it's better than installing PDAnet. No offense to some of you, I know you're just stating your opinion. However, this was just a tip for some users who have tried windows update and htc sync and the htc site itself.

Moderators this thread can be closed now.
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I hope you weren't offended by me, either, and I apologize that I continued to lead the thread off topic since I felt strongly about clearing up what drivers Windows does and doesn't include, since I deal with that every day. :D For the record, I have no issue at all with recommending anything, including installing anything as relatively innocuous as PDANet, to help people, in order to make things easier for people. :D
[Droid Eris General] spc_hicks09:
No not at all bro ! You were one of the ones I was saying this this to:

"No offense to some of you, I know you are just stating your opinion."

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyguitar:
Has anyone noticed what happens to app size when you move to SD Card?

For instance, Rockplayer:

Total	13.68mb

Application	13.67mb

Data	16.00kb

Then move to SD and here's what it changes to:

Total	380kb

Application	360kb

Data	20.00kb

does anyone know why this is?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Cid:
When you move apps to SD in a stock ROM, it does not move it completely. It still keeps a part of the app within the NAND flash (i.e. internal storage) due to the way the applications are written.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyguitar:
thanks. Ive recently installed CM7 RC1 for my Desire and seen I have the option to move any app to SD card now. Is this a good/bad idea?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoemeistah:
It is needed when you lack space. But I don't recommend it because sdcard is slower then your real internal phone storage.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
Also, although I am not sure this is still relevant with today's app2sd, but don't move widgets to SD or you might break the widgets.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobandroid:
isnt CM7 app2sd+ / data2sd scripted? if so, keep it in phone, and it is symlinked to sd card
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
as far as i know class 6 or 10 cards are quicker than nand ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoemeistah:
If quicker it would make a really small difference. The internal speed should be about the same as the iPhone's je3, which is around class 6 speed. Which also means a minimum writing speed of 6mb per second. Another reason why not to use it is that it might shorten the life of your sdcard.

OK, I'm traveling to Europe soon... will Maps and Navigation work the same way there? When I view maps of Europe from here everything is visible, but I'm not able to test directions from here.

[Vibrant General] phydoux:
I just got back from a week long trip in Switzerland. I unlocked my Vibrant and used a Swisscom SIM card, and it worked great. I was able to pull up my location in maps and use it to move around the cities I was in. The only time I had trouble was if I was walking down narrow streets with little visible sky... but as soon as I got to an open square and the sky view opened up, I was fine again.

I'd say... get your Vibrant unlocked and pick up a pre-paid SIM card that includes data for the country or countries you'll be in, and have fun!
[Vibrant General] phydoux:
Oh, and I forgot to address the other part of your question. I also used it to look up directions to go places that included bus and/or tram/train rides, and that worked very well too. It worked well for me in Switzerland at least.
[Vibrant General] MintJulep:
Yep, everything will work. Amazingly Google knows about Europe too.

Unlock and get a prepaid SIM at wherever you are going to avoid paying T mobile's usureous international data roaming charges.

I used Locus from the market on a recent trip to the UK. I shut off data and used only the phone's gps and the offline maps and it worked fine for directions.

Thanks for the info on Navigation and Maps in Europe. I'll be getting a TIM card in Italy, but will be getting a data plan with TIM for the first time (I will try and check out TIMs offerings online before we leave). Does the GPS function without a dataplan? My old Garmin just uses satellites... just wondering...
[Vibrant General] spinachtoy:
The GPS does function but in order to make use of it you'll need a map that you can download ahead of time.
