Phono note

Please note: the last update (1.5d) included honeycomb fix, this caused some problem on some Samsung devices (logo not shows at the devices start), it will be fix soon and honeycomb fix will be optionally in preferences activity.
Thanks

Phono 1.5e (fast) Update

This is a fast update only for to fix occasional logo disappaerance on some devices, from this release Honeycomb fix (caused the issue) is optionally, for default it is disabled.
I would remember you that Honeycomb fix was usefull for to disable the statusbar update at every signal strenght change, If you want it enabled you need to set it on activity preferences.

Hi,

Thanks for the great app. I just found out something. I was playing around with this app and put a widget on the home screen. After a while i removed the widget from the homescreen and found the service is still running in the background. Tried to kill the service but again it is starting by itself. I had checked the app preferences but found nothing in this regard. Am I missing anything here to kill the app? Is there a way to kill the app and start it again when needed?

My phone: LG Optimus one P500
OS: 2.2 Froyo
Phono version: 1.5

Hi, thanks to appreciate it, about your "problem" there isn't a running service for Phono, unlike other similar applications Phono use the system service, as well as this does not affect much the consumption of battery, saves RAM.
Phono start it self when signal strength change and stop it self after the widget update.
Don't be worry about the battery consuption, it's minimal, I (and others guys) done several test about.
Obviously more unstable is your line (eg: 3g nets) more power is needed on your device.
Hope this help, otherwise contact me without any problems.

Ciao red_vex, in che modo lo vorresti migliorato? (dimensione, background o altro)
Se hai un logo migliore mandamelo (40x40 png).

Hi red_vex, in which way should i improve it? (size, background or . . . )
If you have a better logo for it send me (40x40 png).

About your question for sgs2 issue the next release will not fix it cause it isn't a Phono issue. . . I'm really sorry for that! :(
please refer here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18336

Phono 1.6a support mvno!

Hi all, i'm glad to inform you about the Phono update (1.6a).
Though there isn't good news about the SGS2 issue Phono 1.6a has some important news, indeed,
through the new methods to link the logos it support the mvno.

4menulogohelper.png
5logohelper.png


Here a short description of the available methods:

Standard:
this method is suggested to everybody hasn't issue with the logo.

Operator name: [new]
the operator name is retrieved from network, usually is the carrier where the phone is hooked.
This method is very similar to the standard, useful if your mcc-mnc isn't inserted.

Custom operator name: [new]
this method retreive the logo information by the operator name inserted by the customer in the preferences.
This method isn't suggested because is a static method, Phono isn't able to understand the carrier change (if not in roaming),
we suggest to use it only if your carrier is a mvno and doesn't shows the right operator
name trought the network (method 2).
Remember to set the custom operator name in the activity preferences
Please do not use local charset to use this method (eg: cyrillic, Thai, Indi or any non standard characters)

Line name: [new]
the method retrieve the operator name from the sim, normally this field is empty but I noted some
MVNO uses to write there the carrier name.
This method can be use alternatively to the method 3.
Beware because is a static method, Phono isn't able to understand the carrier change (if not in roaming), we suggest
to use it only if your carrier is a mvno and doesn't shows the right operator name through the
network (method 2).

tips: Use logo helper in the activity menu

some useful help link:
How to use the new methods
How to set mvno

Note:
if your carrier isn't inserted as mnc please use the operator name method ;)

Thanks
