I tried doing a search and could not find anthing on this. Is it possible to add Wi-Fi Calling to this phone. I do know that it is realy a T-Mobal thing but I also know many people are very smart and may know a way to do it on this phone. Most of my work day I am in a sub basement and get no service but we have wifi hot spots becouse of work. If I can get my call like this it would help alot. Thanks for any help you can give.
Yes, get a google voice account and download the program groove ip, android market should have it, but I got it from amazon, just sign into your google account in grooveip and it does the rest

Guys,
Why I cannot access Market via wifi connection. Browsing, Email or Gtalk works fine but when i accessing Market or Blakpmarket there's return error with "Network Error Occurs" ?
I can only access those via Network Operator.
Any explanation regarding this problem? Is it a bugs with CM 5.0.6 that i've updated last night?
-dowdow-
market verifies yiu via google talk over the network. so if you dont have cell service it wont authenticate you which means no entry...

How long did this issue take place? Did you bother turning wifi off and back on? I'm not calling you stupid, but a lot of people get the problem once hit retry, doesn't work, and flock here for help when help isn't even needed. I get this now and again. No idea why, but it never sticks.
Since Captivate has GPS I was wondering if an app or hack for Xm Radio might exist or work with the phones??? Has anyone tried it???
You need to root and allow sideloading or push .apk using adb.
I rooted and changed settings to allow sideload. Then used email from Sirius to get application.

Once you get the app from Xm Radio do you have to register your phone as a XM device and pay or will you be able to get the programming free?
You need to add premium online service. If you have an account, it's like $2.40/month.

Ok, thanks.
I wonder just how well it works considering the GPS issues we seem to have for now.
works great for me, I don't know why they don't put the app in the market though. Rooted my phone the first day I had it specifically for this reason. Dosen't seem to slow down the phone at all while you're listening, either. The GPS issus don't have anything to do with the operation of the app - it's basically just a client for XM/Sirius online so it uses your data connection, no satellites involved. You will need the $3/month Premium Online Listening package to listen from your phone, like someone mentioned.
Something I noticed recently is that although it will switch between 3g and WiFi data automatically, if I'm going in and out of WiFi a lot (like when I mow the lawn) it will begin to drop out - just turn the WiFi off and you're good to go. Keep an eye on your data usage if you don't have an unlimited plan, though.
I do have a small gripe - when I listen to XM online on my computer, it's only about 5 seconds behind my home (satellite) unit. On the phone, it's literally about a minute, even on WiFi. The Blackberry app has the same issue. Kind of annoying, but it's not the end of the world.
Here's the link to the download page:
I can't post outside links. Google "XM android" and it should be the first search result.
Thanks. I have Xm Radio in my car. I thought it might be nice on the phone too.
I'm not sure about the $36 a year since there is so much free listening out there that's simular. I find myself only listening to 2 channels when I'm in the car.....lol.

I don't have the app but I can say 99.9% that it doesn't use GPS for anything. It uses 3G data to stream the stations to you.
Hmm... allow me to help here:
The GPS receiver in the phone has NOTHING to do with receiving XM Radio. Yes, the XM Radio you have in your car does receive satellite signals, however it is unrelated to the receiver in your phone. Your phone uses the Cell Network to stream XM Radio, if such an app exists, and it would certainly cost money.
Clearer?
When we get flash support with Froyo, we should be able to stream through their website.

While I can confirm you can login to the player this way, I was unable to get the stream. Probably doesn't like the browser, dunno.
hello i have lost mu phone last night and i was wondering if it was possible to turn the phone to loud some how remotely after the fact kinda like Plan B gps tracking, ive been using the plan b but it is not accurate and i was wondering if anyone knew of another idea thanks
Did you have mobile security on your account and the app installed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Try Plan B. Free on the market. Read the details here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb
May be able to help you locate your phone AFTER you lose it. Never used it but looks like it will only work if your phone is on and has a data connection. Will send you its location via GMail, after that, you can text your phone from a friend's phone to try to pinpoint it. Good luck!
If you find it, I would buy SeekDroid or something.
Log onto the Security programs website? I use T-Mobile Security
So I have been looking for a way to say goodbye to AT&T's U-Verse and their terrible service/billing.
Now that I have a galaxy S3 and there is decent LTE coverage at home, I would like to use my Unlimited LTE as my main internet service.
This has worked out well tethering with FoxFi and I usually get around 15mb/s down / 6 mb/s up.
However I cannot figure out how to get incoming connections to uTorrent. I don't torrent very often but I like to maintain a good ratio and there are some things which I will seed forever, to make sure they are still available.
I haven't yet rooted my phone though I'm comfortable with it from prior experience. I wouldn't mind rooting it but if I can avoid it for the time being, why bother?
Has anyone had any trouble with Verizon and torrents on an unlimited plan? I don't use an exorbitant amount of data but I wonder about my privacy.
I would be very appreciative if someone could show me how to port-forward or otherwise open my phone to incoming connections from uTorrent through tethering. I have also considered using a VPN to increase my privacy, so if I could use that with my phone connection, I would be very happy.
Thank you to any who devote their time to my cause.
Sorry, I dont have a solution for you. but i would like to know the answer to this as well
i torrent just fine when tethering my Galaxy nexus on verizon (using PDAnet) i use about 20gigs a month or so and the max i ever went with it was 60gigs. but i have not torrent in a long time and have been using my tethering for WoW and L4D2 and downloading steam games
Whoa, you're on u-verse and having bad service and bill? Might want to shoot me a private message to talk about it and I can take a quick looksee of what's going on (I'm a tier 2 technical support agent for u-verse, and you wonder why I'm on Verizon Wireless )
Anyways, the only thing I've learned is that setting up utorrent on the phone is a pain in the ass but will work (been awhile since I've done it) but only when it's on 4G, if it's on the 3G network it won't let you do it (I can't point my figure on why).

Thanks for the consideration. I'll be in touch.
I tried to use uTorrent on my S3, but the private tracker I use only allows supported clients. There is no Android option available. I am going to suggest they add one, but in the mean time, I'm wishing I could run a Linux client on my phone or figure out a way to enable incoming connections over a WiFi/USB tether. Don't know where to start with that, though.
You might want to look at your computer's built in firewall. From my understanding of port forwarding it allows certain traffic to bypass a firewall to a specific client. I don't recall foxfi having any built in firewall so anything connected to it should be in a DMZ

The built in firewall doesn't block incoming connections when I am using my home wifi (I have set up port forwarding in the router). The only thing I change is that I connect to FoxFi and the port is no longer accessible from outside (no connections are being made to upload in uTorrent.)
BUMP?
Has Anyone gotten anywhere with this, I know its not a firewall somewhere down the line the port is getting blocked but all my firewalls are off....

You should see if they support tixati. I have had nothing but problems with utorrent in the past couple years. Tixati may not look superior at first but it has all the same options plus more. Probably what really draws me to tixati is it allocates the files before download.
VPN Fixed it, Kinda

Hey I had the Idea to set up a VPN on the computer, and It did fix the connection problem, got the green, BUT my DL speeds went to crap, Which makes sense, So I guess if you wanna either find a decent VPN provider that can handle the through put could possibly solve the issue...I just jumped on the first free one I came across..
Hope It Helps
Mike
Which VPN did you use eventually mike ?

I Started with OpenVPN, which worked OK, But was a PITA to setup, I eventually went to a free VPN through a website, and client configuration, They'd change the password daily, you just jump to the site, log-in get the new Password and your good to go, Speeds where about the same...
And It's been awhile, but I found out the the Issue was AT&T blocking certain websites (Including at the time, My Free Host for my Forum which is now on a VPS..) and have since moved to T-mobile....
Been Awhile and memory isn't as great as it was, Hope this is what you are looking for,

Hello, firstly I would like to say that I'm a noob,
I was wondering if there was anyway to get free gps on my android without having a SIM card or any wifi. I already tried the google maps thing while your offline, I heard some people did something to their phones and were able to use tomtom without using a data plan or any other connection for that matter. I'm looking for something like that using my phone as an actual gps without any charges, I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction, thank you.

try to navigation app "sygic" u can download maps and use it totally offline, turn by turn and everything,. takes up about 400mb for city map though :good:
Try Navigon or MapsWithMe
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
MapsWithMe or NavFree. One uses Google's maps, the other Openstreetmaps.
For both you need WiFi to download the maps, but you don't need data it afterwards.
