Hi, I just purchased a Nexus 7 tablet for my mom for X-mas. She's not anything near a power user. The tablet arrived quickly and I couldnt resist opening it up and checking it out. I noticed it had Android 4.1.1 on it. I know you can upgrade to 4.2. But I have read some reports that 4.2 is...

Hi all, A coworker bought the SGS3 on my recommendation and its battery life is absolutely horrendous. He went into the advanced wifi menu and changed the one setting to Never as was recommended here. But with wifi manually turned off it will just turn itself on like every minute. Then it...

I was reading at the website for the Wifi Alliance and they have a listing of all devices that are certified for wifi direct. The Rezound has this certification. Has anybody used this yet? What can be done with wifi direct? http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA12327 I...

HTC promised us the ICS update by the end of July. Wrong again. Here we are in August and no ICS update. I think I am like most people and dont really care about the update itself so much as HTC releasing the source code so we can get serious modding done. Personally, I am running CleanROM...

I'm currently running Scott's CleanROM 4.4. In the "Scott's Tweaks" there is an option for MMS Screen On. I have that option checked but it appears to only be for MMS, not SMS. I've noticed in Newt's new Sense 4.0 ROM, one of the tweaks he has is called SMS screen on. I assume based on the...

I am on Scott's Cleanrom 4.4. So it's an Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM and has the built-in usage meter. I really like this feature and up until recently it seemed to match up very closely with what Verizon was reporting I was using. But the last few months its been WAY off. Like last billing...

I have been trying to video chat with my father who has an iphone 4. When I chat with him on my HTC Flyer tablet (with Qik video chat for sprint) he said he can hear me and the video is right side up. When I video chat with him on my Rezound he said my video is upside down. If I turn the...

Has anyone seen this and tried it? I know our rezound has the same S3 chip in it as these other phones. MSM8660 with Adreno 220 GPU. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/updated-adreno-220-ics-gpu-driver-speeds-up-2d-rendering/

I've been using Android now for a few years. I really like the work that the devs do in customizing roms and making them better than what comes on the phones stock. I would like to learn how to do this for myself because it seems that there's bits and pieces from several different roms I like...

Is there anyway to record calls on the Rezound? On my Galaxy S with custom ROMS I think it was pretty standard with them. Every ROM I ran had that feature, just had to push the record button while on a call and it recorded the call. Thanks! UPDATE: I've tried a couple of call recording apps...

Has anyone here tried mounting a USB drive with the rezound? I've read that the Galaxy Nexus can mount a usb drive using an on the go USB cable. Now that there are several ICS versions out for our Rezounds, has anyone tried this? I dont have an OTG cable yet or else I'd try it. Thanks!

Has anyone seen the new HTC One V? Its a low level phone running an S2 Snapdragon at 1GHz and only 512MB RAM and it gets Sense 4.0! Yet all along HTC was telling people that only their newest top end phones has the horsepower to run Sense 4.0. They've said that Sense 4.0 would only be...

EA Sports just released NBA Jam for Android but it's not available for the HTC Rezound! Does anybody know why this is?

What is everyone's 4G speeds?? And what ROM and/or radio are you running?? When I first got my Rez on 1/22 my 4G speeds were insane. I could get a steady 28M down and 14M up anytime anywhere in my area (Columbia/Lexington SC). Now my speeds are 2-5M down and and 2M up, but the ping is still...

I'm pretty new to HTC phones, is there a way to change just the radio file? On my Galaxy S it was extremely easy to flash a lot of different radio files to the phone and do some data testing with them to see which one works the best in different areas. I've been getting really crappy data...

I have been an avid Android user for a few years now. I had an ATT Captivate which had a huge dev following. It was so easy to flash and switch ROMs on a whim. This is my first HTC phone and over the weekend I went through the steps to unlock the bootloader then root it. To get it to root I...

I really like my Rezound but it seems like the built-in task killer is killing off all of my apps that need sync and/or push notifications. I saw that the OTA update was set to fix that it was killing off email syncs, and it did fix that, my email app syncs all the time now. However, my...

I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used...

I am trying to use the built-in email app to connect to our work email server. I have it set for IMAP for the incoming and it connects and works fine for that. However, when I go to the outgoing (SMTP) server settings it refuses to connect. I tried over and over again. So I downloaded and...

Hey all. I just got my Rezound on Sunday. So far I really like it. One thing I do not like is the keyboard. I came from an AT&T Captivate running Team Hacksung's ICS port. The keyboard in that is awesome. If I take that ROM and extract the Latin_IME.apk and install it on my Rezound, will...

I just got my View last week and it updated to Honeycomb the very next day. Today is the first day bringing it to work. Our corporate network does not have DHCP enabled. I am able to see my corp network wifi and put in the password, but it never obtains an IP address. There is no 'menu'...

I see that Microsoft has a Hotmail email app for Android now. However when I go to the market website it says it's not compatible with my device "AT&T Samsung SGH-I897". Anybody else having this problem?

I currently have an ATT Captivate. I am now eligible for a new upgrade on my ATT account. I'm wondering what you guys' opinion of the SGS2 is. Is it worth spending $200 and burning my 2 yr upgrade to go from the Captivate to the SGS2? I know both phones have S-Amoled 800x480 displays, one's...

I'm running CM7.1 on my Captivate. I'm trying to download Atari's Greatest Hits from the market, but it keeps telling me "insufficient space on this device" This is incorrect. I'm only using 350MB out of the 1.5GB app storage space and i have over 12GB on my SD card space. There's...

I've been on CM7 for a little while and really like the overall look and feel but am completely fed up with the absolute atrocious battery life. Even with the new 1800mAH battery I can barely make it through a work day (7:30am-6:30pm). I was on Firefly 3.0 for a long time before trying CM7 and...

Will this phone "Samsung Galaxy S 4G - Tmobile" work on ATT? I currently have a ATT Captivate and I know some of the phones have the capability to use other bands. Could I get this phone, unlock it, and be able to use it on AT&T?

I'm running CM 7 nightly build 140 on my Captivate. I am wondering is it Sim unlocked now? Can I put other Sim cards in it? Or do I still need to unlock it? I guess I'm a little confused on whether just loading a modified ROM unlocks the phone or is there an extra procedure to do that? I've...

Earlier today I created a new thread about the volume level on my phone being low and if there was a way to fix it. Within a few hours I came back to see if anybody had replied with any suggestions, the entire thread was deleted!! Who decides which threads get to live and which ones die? And...

At one point wasnt there an internal build Gingerbread rom "leaked" from Samsung for the Galaxy S? I thought at one point I remember reading that there was. If there was, is anybody doctoring it up for the Captivate? I'd like to go for Gingerbread on my Captivate but kind of dont want CM7...

Hello, I've been running Perception 10.1 for quite a while now. There's really nothing wrong with it, I guess I'm just bored. I'm thinking about putting CM7 on my phone. Everytime I've changed ROMs in the past I've tried to do a NAND backup with Rom Manager and everytime I install the new...

I've had Perception 10.1 on my phone for quite a while now, and overall I like it (that's why its been on my phone for months and months now). But yesterday I got some voicemails that I downloaded from Gmail and they were saved as mp3 format files. The built in music player refuses to play...

The Gtab comes with a Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc icons installed. These arent real apps, just links to the mobile websites of theirs. Now that I installed the enhancement pack, how can I get rid of those icons that really are worthless now? I cant find anyway to uninstall them. Thanks.

I guess this seems like a silly/noobie question, but how can I tell if my Gtab is rooted or not? I bought it brand new from Amazon. Installed the OTA update to 3588, then installed the Enhancement Pack 3.1.4b. Did the enhancement pack root it? Thanks!

What version of flash is everyone using? I couldnt get the version of flash thats on the viewsonic site to work at all (version 10.1.95.1). I found a version under /Sdcard/Master already on the tablet right from the factory (version 10.1.120.1). I installed that and it seems to work. Its...

I'm running Perception 10.1 and I noticed that Shazam and SoundHound absolutely do not work anymore. They will not recognize any songs. I also noticed that voice dialer doesnt recognize anything I say anymore. Example: when I say "Call John Kaiser mobile" what shows up is Dial and some random...

Walmart's Straight Talk cellular service now offers two GSM phones, the Nokia E71 and something else. I'm pretty sure they're on AT&T's network (Data specs say 3G - 850/1900 bands). So if I got one of them and their $45 unlimited plan, would that sim card work in my captivate? My bill is...

I'm running Perception 10.1 and it only comes with the Samsung keyboard and Swype. I dont like either of those. Personally I like the stock android keyboard that was in the version of Cog 2.2B7 that I was running. Does anybody know where I can find the apk for the regular Android keyboard...

I've been running Cog 2.2B7 ever since it first came out. I like it fine. But I am thinking of maybe going with a Perception rom to try out the HSUPA and built-in lag fix. I've accumulated tons of apps on my phone. What is the best way to save the state of my phone so after flashing to a new...

I have been running Designgears' Cog 2.2 Beta 7 since it was first released. Generally I liked the ROM. I liked how it had the touchwiz apps, with the exception of the crappy Touchwiz launcher. However it wasnt as fast or the battery didnt last as long as the stock JH7 that I migrated from...

I'm running Cognition 2.2B7. I'm curious where can I turn apps2sd on or off? When I go under manage applications, it shows one app, Angry Birds, is installed on the SD card. Where on the SD card is this app stored? In root explorer I dont see any angry birds folder under /sdcard. I also...

How come the browser on our galaxy S phones doesn't have the UAString setting like the stock browser in Android does? Or is the UAString setting just in a different place? I've followed the directions that I've found on google to change the User Agent String and that setting is missing on my...

When is there going to be any alternate ROMs to run on the Captivate? All I see are samsung ROMs that can be loaded on the Captivate, and they're all loaded up with crappy samsung touchwiz. Whether its "Cognition" or JF6 or JH7 or JI6, etc. the fact remains that these are all crappy samsung...

It's taking so long to get FroYo on our Captivates, can we just skip that and get a commitment to get Gingerbread when it's released? Gingerbread will be out and we'll still be waiting on FroYo. Odds are samsung will not even give us Gingerbread. They only committed to FroYo at their press...

I used designgears' jh7_ota.zip to update my phone to JH7. It worked fine. The one reason why I used it was because the OTA update had gone through to 100% and then crashed. In the "About phone" menu it had the right kernel version and the right baseband version, but the Build number was...

Has anyone been able to figure out how to remove the samsung bluetooth stack and replace it with the stock bluetooth stack from AOSP 2.1?? I'd love to be able to use a wii-mote as a bluetooth game controller, but it wont work with galaxy S phones because Samsung put their own bluetooth stack in...

How much RAM does the Captivate really have? Reason I ask is my friend's Droid Incredible constantly has about 270-280MB free, even when he was on 2.1. My Captivate has about 150MB free after doing a task kill. I thought these were supposed to have 512MB of RAM, but this post says that the...

I was reading an article on androidheadlines.com and it mentions that samsung only promises ONE OS update for our phones. I seem to recall them stating this earlier too. So, if you can only have one update, would you rather get the Froyo update or just skip that one and get the Gingerbread...

What is the version of the original stock kernel?? I got all messed up doing the update yesterday, it'd get to 100% several times and then say it failed, yet my kernel version had changed I believe. So I did the odin one click restore, and now its like factory new, except my kernel is still...

I just got a notification from my phone that there was an update available (the supposed GPS fix). So I let it download and install the update. It rebooted to a white screen with a progress bar. Once it hit 100% it said "Update is failed". Then when it booted up it's back at the device...

This is just an observation but I really wish I had waited till now and just got a vibrant, unlocked it and could use it on AT&T's network and still get 3G. There is so much more development work going on over in the Vibrant forum. But I do think the Captivate is a slightly better looking...
