Well, I haven't used one of these but just thinking aloud - If there can be an app that transmits at a particular frequency to open your garage door, can we not use the same app(with a few tweaks) to transmit at a range of frequencies to open all garage doors? Is that possible?

Ive got the skype mobile apk installed and running on the evo 4g cm7 rom.... the only problem is that it check to see what network you are on, and if its not verizon its a no go.... even on roam only it say call verizon and have plan upgraded. so theres no out smarting it.... can a developer go into the files and crack it to not search for service provider.... or accept sprint as a provider? we are so much closer to true mobile skype. thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] sirmx:
What makes you think it's a network check vs. a hardware/firmware/phone check? Just curious, but either way should *in theory* be easy to emulate or bypass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:
I just figured because when i was on sprints 3g it said you must have verizon... but when i set my phone to roam only on verizons network, it then said call verizon and have mobile data plan updated, so i used deductive reasoning to assume that its probably testing network some how... idk tho. can you try to edit the files?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:

[EVO 4G Android Development] ballerx43:
I downloaded the attached apk and ran some tests... OP is right, the app does go over the mobile network to verify that you are connected to Verizon. I was connected to WiFi and it used my mobile network all of a sudden to try to login, so i disabled the mobile data and it wont login...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:
I wonder why they went that route... Now the verizon cant use skype over wifi only..... But yea I kinda knew it was testing the network..... Any luck modifying the files any one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
See if this one works for you.I used to include this app in my old ROMs,but there is no video calls,just a basic data calls...

DOWNLOAD
[EVO 4G Android Development] rstuckmaier:
I would like to add that I tried using airplane mode with wifi on and it doesn't let you sign on. It says not available over wifi. The verizon check has to be bypassed.

I guess baller already kinda said that...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:
ii eahave that one.... I want the one I posted as an attachment because out has video calling.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:
Any Luck any one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenlperry:
I'm curious if any of the guys can pull this off too... Fingers crossed!

We need the devs that got nfl live to work. It was supposed to be verizon only but I had it running on my ol htc hero
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
im going to try this on my xoom and post back
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackbeltrk:
whats the point if you can't video chat? This worked fine on my Motorola xoom connected to Verizon 3g.:confused
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
I thought this had video chat. isn't regular skype already in the market? i don't use it, I just thought it was already there so i thought this was video chat skype
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
The app is fairly obfuscated, but I might poke at it a bit...

String[] arrayOfString = new String[1];
arrayOfString[0] = "verizon wireless";

also

String str1 = paramTelephonyManager.getNetworkOperatorName();
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackbeltrk:
tryed the apk on xoom and it worked fine. Didn't see any video support.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:
hmmmmm looks like we were tricked... my understanding was that this version is "Skype Mobile Live" is different than the "Skype" in the market. they even have different icons.... and it was supposedly supposed to have video. maybe its only mobile to mobile video. idk but if its just the same app, its not worth the trouble. But i recall at a hands on they said it had video support.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
Well I got past the "requires verizon wireless" check.

I'll mess around with it more at home tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
there is no need to mess around with this app. the op has tricked us. this app is the same app that is already in the market available for all phones. skype did show an updated video chat app but this isn't it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I thought the verizon-specific version of this had video chat enabled? Or maybe I heard wrong... ah well, it only took 10 minutes of poking :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
you heard right, but this just isn't it. hopefully soon :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
Skype is very popular overseas...I posted it here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=192087&st=1120&gopid=6882413&#entry6882413

This isn't it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjcole2003:
I'm thinking that even if you cant video chat you can at least VOIP to anyone around the world with skype installed on their computer. Handy if you have family and overseas.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Regular Skype is already in the marketplace available for everyone
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:
I didnt trick anyone. If,i,thought this,was yhe same I wouldnt have waste my time posting..... Speculation was that the phone came with,a,new skype..... Some how it is different tho... Its a new version.... Shinzul see if u find anythimg in the code that checks the phone to see if its a inc 2 to enable video.... Idk but I only posted what I was lead to believe on android central.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
I'm sorry to make it seem negative but honestly its no big deal. This app is the same app already available at least I couldn't tell a difference. But thanks for the try. Hopefully they release that app soon. Shinzul has a Xoom also so if Verizon does get an app he'll definitely be able to play with it. Hopefully it goes to the vzw marketplace on release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nique0201:
No problem we tried..... anyway has anyone noticed this... http://www.androidcentral.com/leaked-lg-revolution-system-dump-has-netflix apparently the lg revolution dump came out today and it has the official netflix app in it..... Hey shinzul wanna give this a whack? the problem seems to be that ppl can login and and get as faras to choosing a movie but it simply wont play maybe you can poke around and see whats causing this maybe its a hardware check or something. you can gather more info by reading the commentson the link provided... if you want ill download the dump and post the apk in a new thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nize2beme:
also, food for thought, if this was the same one that's in the market, then why is it only working on Verizon out of the box? The code clearly only allows access via Verizon, so it can't be the one from the market, atleast in the aspect as stated: It's the same on in the marketplace. It's obviously a different version, or has been modified.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
I think the Verizon version allows for Skype calling over their 3g network. The market version only allows calling over wifi.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vasiaeva:

[HD2 Accessories] c1363:
Last time i bought the HD2 silicon case with the two screen protector worthed about 5 dollars on eBay. Then soon i found the problem was that the bot screen protectors wont fully stick on the screen (bubbles everywhere) even though i spent lots time to get rid of the bubbles, but they are totally unqualified product..

And now i am looking for the better screen protectors, just searched on ebay and hundreds of the results coming out and i am wondering which one would fully stick on the screen without bubbles. Can anybody recommend some good screen protectors? Thanks:D
[HD2 Accessories] techboydino:
I highly recommend Realook from Amazon. They are dry install covers and if put on properly show almost no bubbles. The reason I like these the best is that they feel most like the actual glass of any that I tried. The rest are more rubbery and dont allow your finger to glide across the screen as well as these do. This particular one covers the bottom under the buttons so there is a slight bit of lifting on the lower corner. This is covered up by my case anyway so it's no bother.

2 pack $11

Lifetime Warranty

Link to Amazon

make sure you get the right one for EU or TMO version.
[HD2 Accessories] Cenobite_:
I don't use any screen protector. I have used one for 1 yr but it degenerates the quality of the screen. Besides, the screen itself is pretty good in preventing scratches.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Why don't you go to Amazon and write a review? There are none on their page.
[HD2 Accessories] RG1F:
You can use brando. The screen protector are great,invisible,resistant and thin...great quality !
[HD2 Accessories] techboydino:
done. good idea.
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
I'm in the no Screen protector camp, owned the phone for 14 montys and not a scratch on the screen, a soft or hard case is fine if you are worried or careless :)
[HD2 Accessories] indie:
I Use Martin Sheilds screen protector. I have stuck to this because of durability and feel. Plus side is you cant even tell you have one on
[HD2 Accessories] tednelson83:
i bought the stock T-mobile branded ones the day i bought my phone. there were 2 in the pack, and im on the last one. i really like the slightly hazy anti glare that it provides. i recommend those ones, but does anyone know of any that are just as good, but dont cost as much? i had the first one off after it wore out after 6 months, but IMHO, the bare glass is just too shiny and reflects everything outside in my experiance, so i put the second one on.
[HD2 Accessories] mattfmartin:
These are the best. I've had invisible shield, phantom skinz, body glove. They all suck compared to the tmobile one. They last forever. Had mine on for 8 months and its still looks new.
[EVO 4G General] stevo760:
Im under my 30 days so I've takin my phone back twice already for a new one. The first on was a 0004 the second was a 0003 and now I have a 0004 again. It seems like the 0004s are a little snappier when launching apps and navigating through the general UI itself. Or am I just hallucinating. I'll tell you something else! When you first get the phone its set to vibrate when you touch the soft keys and the keyboard. The 0003 vibrated a lot more when you hit the keys which I didn't like. The 0004 is more faint vibration. I'll be trading thus guy in for a new one again this week because the screen is lifting already straight out of the box
[EVO 4G General] cordell12:
WoW! So many in 30 days, what do they say when you take it in? I have one thats under the 30 and has one stuck pixel, I had decided to just keep it (0003) but if its really that easy, why now, lol. Do you get a fresh set of 30 days when you get the new one???
[EVO 4G General] stevo760:
No my 30 days is up the 25th
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I just dont see how you could possibly get 4 bad phones. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] snipestech:
I got mine on the first day it was released and the only thing I see is are to spots I think from dabbing my finger on the screen lol

But I think I can live with it
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
I've had all three hardware revisions and I've noticed the same things so it's not just you.
[EVO 4G General] stevo760:
When I push down on the bottom .left corner of the screen I can watch it pill back up. From what I've read around the internet it only gets worse and to take it back if you can. Maybe radio shack is getting crap phones who knows. All I know is that I'm under my thirty days and its worth another try to get one that is exceptible in my eyes. It's not exceptible for a screen to be separating from the phone itself right outta the box. There are standards to be upheld.
[EVO 4G General] djtonyb33:
I got mine from Radio Shack in December, and I've had no issues so far with the screen. Good luck!
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
iv had mine for a long time n its hw v3 i havent noticed anything like that
[EVO 4G General] cordell12:
I agree, I would not settle for a screen separating at all! I am gonna keep my phone with the one stuck pixel though. To much to do, setting phone up and all for just one pixel. My luck the replacement would have 2 stuck pixels! lol

Good Luck :)

[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
I took my first one back right after my 30 days because the usb port was falling apart. Two weeks later, I took the second one back because the software was bugging out & the phone wouldn't boot. Neither were rooted & I have insurance, so it was super easy and free. I got this one, rooted it, and that was in December & I've had no problems.

I agree about the haptic feedback on the 003s. I hate it, it feels like a toy or something. I dial it down to barely noticeable in CM Settings, but the 004s still feel smother.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Ok, so been on Cyanogen 6.1 for a day now and I am getting duplicate MMS's. The texts are fine, but every pic and slideshow I have downloaded has ended up duplicated.

Am I missing something? Haven't found this issue through google yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Wondering now if duplicates from other people is same issue as other one which is I cannot send. Could they both be something to do with corrupt telephony.db?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
So you can't send, or getting duplicate mms messages?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Both...get doubles of mms people send and I cannot send mms at all. It says it is making an mms...but send does nothing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
When sending an mms, do you have your 3G on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Yes, 3G is always on. I never turn that off.

Update though, I just loaded Handcent to see what would happen. Even Handcent cannot do MMS's...this seems to be a phone issue then? (Unless there are some requirements to sending mms on handcent I didn't complete.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Ok, I have adb'd into the folder where telephony.db lives and deleted it. Now Handcent will send mms but regular text program will not send.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Ok, mms is is working now but my shotgun approach doesn't leave me confident in what actually fixed it.

I tried one solution I found online...delete the telephony.db file. This did nothing for sms/mms. In same folder I found a mmssms.db file and when I renamed that it deleted all my txt history. BUt that didn't solve the issue either.

The next thing I was going to attempt was to clear messaging cache from the manage applications. Instead I clicked on Clear Data.

That is when the messaging app changed. The background had been white, but I never set that, now it is black and all mms and sms since that point have worked fine.

Since I still had an old copy of my mmssms.db I just restored that and I had all my previous txts back.

Not sure if this will help anyone in future...but there is my post effort debrief. :^)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arisgoku:
is there a way to use the volume buttons to switch between tracks? like in my old k800 when i longpressed a volume button it played the next or the previous track. it would be nice and it would save battery cos it would not activate the screen all the time
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
Hey, I was thinking about something likewise. It would be nice that while the phone is closed, a single click on the camera button would start/stop music, a double click on the camera button would go to next track.
[Xoom General] backtothemac:
In the top right area of my screen (the speaker is behind it) there is a little grey dot on the screen. When I touch the speaker, it rainbows the screen almost like a pin or a screw is pushing against the back of the screen. Is anyone else having this?

[Defy General] xatornet:
Hi there chaps,

First of all, I'm not english, so sorry about any grammar mistake or sort of.

I had this Motorola Defy from Vodafone ( Spain ) with 2.51 firmware ( VF360 & Blur ), and since It was a complete nigthmare, talking in preformance terms, I decided to flash it to 2.51 Central Europe ROM deblur, with RSD and everything went like a charm.

Wifi works, system feels stable and comfy, but, when i decided to test Market the problem showed up: It connects, allows to search apps, but when i click download on any app, it gets into "downloading" status, and never ever increases its %.

I did a full recovery backup of the original Vodafone firmware, and restored it, but failure keeps appearing. I've tried wipe data each time i've flashed, but nothing changes...

... i'm a bit desperated...:(

Can anyone help me?

So many thanks in advance

EDIT: I have finally flashed froyo 2.2.1 and Market still doesn't work. " Starting Download..." that's all I get... Somebody help me!!! :-(
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Are you using wifi? Market seems to require "initialization" by mobile network.

If this is your case, turn off wifi, open Manage Applications, show all applications, clear the Cache and Data of Market and Download, reopen Market to load the terms etc and confirm. When finished Market should be able to download and wifi can be turned on again.
[Defy General] xatornet:
Dude, thank you very very very much. After a whole night trying things, reflashing and so... Finally I decided to follow your advice, and spend 3 € on a single connection, just to download an APP using 3G.

After that, I erased APNs and It is back downloading apps on WIFI only.

Thanks!

By the way, this little thing about google and vodafone bussines, is crap. I don't get why I am supposed to pay if i want to use market.

Anyway, Thank you
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
3 € is indeed steep. Glad it works for you. :p
[Defy General] xatornet:
Yes, 3G connection is kinda expensive here. BTW, what app can I use to block any Data , excepting WIFI ?

I've given APNDroid a shot, but it feels kinda ratty...

Thanks!!:D

i need help on this page http://wiki.cyanogen...ll_Update_Guide when it says to flash cyanogem mod through rom manager and also recovery, do i have to do both of those methods and also installing the radio version has both ways of installing...im running cm7 but i only installed through recovery mode but as far as i can see i dont see no problems, in fact ive never been happier...i feel like i have a new phone sorry for the questions but im not an expert at all this, thanks
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
You have to be booted into a sense rom in order to flash a radio and you flash it through recovery just like you would a rom. You can flash CM7 by booting into a recovery (Amon_ra or Clockwork) or by going through ROM Manager, you don't need to do both. ROM Manager boots you into Clockwork recovery and just kind of automates the flashing process. I use Amon_ra, I've read about issues with using Clockwork. It's just a personal preference.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
You only have to install the ROM once, whether it's using RomManager or whether you do it manually in recovery. If you see the CyanogenMod screen when you boot up, then you're good to go.

Troubleshooting the Android market

Try clearing the cache for the market, and if that does not work clear the data.
[Streak 5 General] zmijek:
Had the same problem (froyo 318) with more recent apps that are bigger then 20MB. Fast forward provided above troubleshooting to "Unmount SD Card". That worked for me.
[Streak 5 General] Baldyl0cks:
If you have this problem and are trying to install FROM your SD card (not the market), you can use ADB

adb install [filename thats saved inside your adb directory].apk

problem solved!
