Inspire BACK TO STOCK BUT STILL HAS.....

Unknown Sources LOL LOL LOL.
Just wanted to know if i just got lucky, or if this happends to everyone....I actually am pleased because i missed the applanet feature. I was going to push a program when i noticed i still had it.....
If it is not a fluke, then please spread the word around that if anyone wants to go back to true stock (unrooted), you can still keep the UNKNOWN SOURCES.

You couldn't pay me enough to go back to, and stay stock.
And applanet is warez.

you didnt happen to go back to the stock rom that now includes side loading through a new update did you?

If you went back to stock but kept your data partition intact, then the setting will stick. Did you wipe data?

yes i did a full data and cache wipe.
Guys don't get me wrong, i would LOVE to stay rooted..............for many reasons....but i just have had the worse luck in the world with my GPS not working on any platform i have tired (i.e. CM7, TPC, and anotherone i forgot the name)....
I don't blame you for never wanting to go stock.....it sucks....but hey, at least my GPS works and now i can at least use applanet

BTW, the best one i liked actually was GINGERBREAD BEAST!!!!!!
Unfortunately the GPS wasn't working as it should.

GPS works on GingerBeast just fine. It's weird tho... If you open navigation...it will continue to say "waiting for location" ...Disregard this...go ahead and load the address..Connects within seconds.

My problem has to do with the GPS going on and off, on and off.....
GPS Status would show like 7 sattelites but still wouldn't "LOCK"...which is totally weird....
With my STOCK ROM, it connects within 4 seconds....
I have my "GOLDEN PARACHUTE" in being able to go back to STOCK so if anyone has any other ROM they want me to try which will be either "CLOSE" to stock or will work find with the GPS, then let me know and i will re-root again.

Actually AT&T updated the inspire today to allow for side loading.

You do realize by using applanet you are stealing money from the devs that put hard work and effort into making apps. I just want to make sure that you know pirating apps is not a good thing.

I learned from that i Used to use applanet but one day a nice little bill of $1000 came and i asked and called 100 times and it ended up some thing with applanet charging my carrier and anyway the stupid **** is always down

The sideloading setting got backed up to your Google account from when you had your rooted ROM. When you went back to stock and signed back into Google, all your settings got restored.. including sideloading

No, read the first post on this page. AT&T updated the Inspire to allow sideloading. I have it too and I've never rooted my device.

I'd sure like to know how they pulled this off. It is a bit disturbing to think they could make a change of this type in the system without us knowing that it even happened.

Just shows you what kind of pull Amazon has. They likely turned it on so that you can use the Amazon App store.
Interesting thing is that I have a device going back for exchange and 1 of the questions they asked me is "Have you downloaded any software/apps to your phone?" I said "Sure, what is the point of having a smart phone without apps" They then asked "Where did you download the apps from?" and I responded "The Android Market powered by Google of course. Why is there anywhere else to get apps I thought that was the only place." He then said, "It is, I was just checking" Of course that was a week ago, so things seem to have changed.

[Q] Weird Sound

OK, this may be an odd question but here goes...
My phone's been playing this weird Sci Fi type sound at completely random times. I have no idea if this is due to a system function or an app. I've used ES File Manager to scan the SD card for all media files and it's not on the card. It won't scan the system directory and Root Explorer doesn't seem to have a scan function either. I've only noticed this happening once every few days and when I check the phone afterward I don't see any unfamiliar alerts or messages.
Took me a while to track down a reasonably facsimile... It sounds similar to the last sound in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPOU-AUuxKw&feature=related
(skip to 2:08)

What ROM are you using?

It's rooted but it's the stock ROM. I got the phone right after Christmas because my HD2 just up and died. After rooting and de-bloating the phone I haven't felt the need, yet, to try a custom ROM.
Also, I've disabled the bootup animations.

Wow, that's freaking creepy!

Definitely creepy. No notifications or anything, eh? I'd probably make a backup of the contacts (if you're not synching them with T-Mobile or Google already) and anything else that's important, then do a factory data reset to see if it continues to happen.

Hahaha... Right?! It played at 4:30 this morning. The phone was just sitting on the night stand. So it's got to be some sort of system function or application that's being run by the OS. I've double checked all the ring tones and notification tones for all email, messaging and calendar apps and can't find it anywhere. If this sound persists I'll just have to go with the "my phone is possessed" explanation.
After some more investigation, I've found this sound is made by a musical instrument called a blaster beam. (Of course, if there is a Blaster Beam App, it's not installed on my phone. ) And it actually sounds closer to the sound of the seismic charges from Star Wars II. The two sounds are compared here:

This is just really freaky.

Yeah, weird sound. LOL. I can't fathom what would make it do that.

No, nothing out of the ordinary. When I heard the sound this morning I checked and there was nothing but a couple gmail notifications. I checked the gmail and email properties, of course, and there is no such sound in the list.
Yeah, if I can't figure out where this is coming from I'll do the factory reset. Not quite ready to do that yet, though. Got to admit... My curiosity is getting the better of me.

I had that happen to me before for. It was coming from twicca one of those twitter applications that updates at random times. I just changed the notification settings and it fixed it.$ee if you have any twitter or even Facebook notification.

Huh. Good suggestion but that's not it either. I don't have a twitter app installed and though I do have Facebook, I never stay logged in. Checked it anyway, though, and none of the notification sounds are the right one.
But thanks for the suggestion.
I posted a couple examples above in the thread but this is as close as I can find to the sound (as I remember it). http://www.thepickofdestiny.com/temp/BlasterBeam2.mp3

Is the sound anywhere in your media folders? Under settings> sounds> notifications, what sound is set for notifications?

Nope. I cant find that sound file ANYWHERE and that's what's so weird. And all my notifications are set to "silent."

Restore to a stock ROM with either odin or heimdall, and reinstall are your apps one by one... Do you have any kind of av program? Try running a scan to see if you got some kind of virus...

Still on the factory stock ROM. Never loaded any custom ROMs. The only thing I've done to the OS is root. And that was primarily so I could install Titanium and lose the bloat that Samsung & Tmo put in.
Currently running Lookout AV. If there's a better one out there I'll try it. I've only been playing with Android devices for a couple months so I'm still pretty new in this arena.

OK, question answered. (And now I feel really stupid.)
The reason I couldn't find that sound file anywhere on the phone is because it wasn't coming from the phone. (DUH!) The sound file is called "Radon" and it was coming from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 which was sitting nearby. It was an alert notification coming from the built-in email client. I only found it because I was checking my Tab this morning when an email came in and I saw the notification flash in the status window. I probably hadn't made the connection before because I usually have the sound off on the tab so as not to disturb the wife while she's sleeping. (I can sleep through anything.)
Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.
I'm going to go lie down in the street, now.

Make your phone not a phone?

So i had a dream that inspired this, and also some future thinking
What can you do to the skyrocket to essentially not make it a phone, besides the obvious. Say i buy a new phone and never get rid of the skyrocket(i wouldnt dare leave the skyrocket ) What could you put on it to say JUST make it an media player? No other apps, no home screen. You just turn it on and it will only play music to a customized UI like a microsoft zune(i had when it first came out). Or maybe you just wanted a camera. etc.. Yes, you can delete files that you dont need put it in airplane mode bla blah blah. Thats not what i am looking for.
I don't know if anyone would see use for it besides me, but i wanted to see. I know this could be possible and maybe you can call me crazy.

Once the sim is removed it can still operate on wifi so it can be used without a phone number without data and you can use it as a small wifi only device for music movies games whatever

There's actually no need to give it up as a phone, even if you remove the SIM card. I have two main devices that I alternate between, my Skyrocket and my HTC Vivid. I have GrooveIP installed on both. This app allows you to use a device to make calls over wifi or your cell data network so you do not need a SIM inserted to make calls as long as you have wifi available. This way I can simply put the SIM in whichever device I decide to carry on any given day, and leave the other behind at home to send and receive calls over wifi when I am there. And this way both devices are fully functional with all of their capabilities at all times.
There's no need to cripple either device when you have this option (GrooveIP) available for only a few bucks from the Play Store. Actually my use of GrooveIP goes way deeper than that, as you can easily see by the list of devices in my sig.
With this one app, and possibly one more (TextPlus), you can keep as many phones fully functional that you may so desire.

I realize i can still make use of the functions wifi and other apps to use when i dont have a plan for the skyrocket. That is not what im asking. Im talking about stripping the phone of all phone capabilities. Im saying strictly make it a Media player not like the galaxy players because they have apps i dont want apps.....just a media player. Or one function.

Yeah i dont think anyone would want to waste time developing something, thats why there are a bunch of projects i read where they tried to make a media player rom and just abandoned them. Do the make a developer pill that you could ingest and build stuff?

If you can figure out a way to register a media player as the default launcher, that would probably be enough, no?

The phone has an OS so do music players. So finding a way to install an OS from a music player on it shouldn't be impossible. It's like stripping a windows machine and then installing linux no? So getting some OS off of an MP3 player and looking at what it needs as far as file structure would be a good place to start. I have two phones and since I've gotten the Rocket my SGS4G has basically become my MP3 player. I get about 12 hours out of it with airplane mode just playing tunes. If I could replace the OS with something dedicated to music and get more time I would make that trade off. Especially if you could still flash back to an Android OS.

Okay so are we talking about porting a OS/ROM from a music player? I wonder who the best Dev to talk to about this is? Im no expert in this subject or else i would have done something by now . If we got more people interested im sure a dev would support it right?

There's actually a ROM project out there for almost this exact concept! I read the OP once here on xda. Let me search for it and see if I can find it. And the idea was exactly this: to take an old phone and flash this ROM to basically turn it into a Zune, so that its main purpose became an mp3 player. Let me look for it...

Also phone is getting a little buggy :l Go Launcher EX stopped working...or at least the icons don't load...so I have switched so ADW Launcher for now which I'm liking but its just too complicated for me (standard user) I fixed my too long text problem with Go SMS Pro by making it split my texts after 156 characters I believe? Sometimes phone slows down...not sure if that's normal....Sometimes my Beautiful Widgets Superclock wont load either :/ but the weather part will....Phone used to die quickly im a failry heavy user but I dont remember it dieing this fast before, I have it on for 10 minutes...and I see the % at the top right drop from 100 to 87%... =( I just did a Battery calibration yesterday I think im seeing a improvemnt..not sure lol, I should have recorded how long it lasts >_>.Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit - Sometimes my phone will text people weird boxes :/

I remember a fresh flash of Valhalla Black has all of the ringtones set to none. You have to go select the ringtone you want or it will be on a silent ringtone.

I doubt that is the problem since I have a custom ringdroid ringtone on currently. I but I will change it and see if I receive any missed calls... Let me try to explain it further though I don't receive some calls period. But I look on my friends phone and it shows that they did indeed call me... Sometimes message me and yet I received nothing from them... =/

Could be network issue too... It's not a uncommon thing in the cell phone world. Text messages too?? How often does it happen? Can it be repeated and logged. If so, try posting a logcat in the Valhalla Black thread for help.

Yea I know it can be but recently its been doing it much more before it was roughly about once a week? Now it's daily =/ how do I would I log this? Catlog?

Try a new sim I think they're free if you're t mobile... that might help with the missed calls and stuff. About the other stuff that's just plain weird. Sounds like you have a bad battery and bad sd card and bad phone. Throw that thing away.

Yeah the sim cards are free. I do know that they updated Sim cards a while back when I updated phones. Before you throw away or donate to an xda member, lol. Try to wipe/reflash OR even a fix permissions for the lag. Gremlin remover is my favorite.

hello viper and other readers. im noobing and guessing this is for a sgs2. viper can you give me more on the text message splitter mine is the same.
but too my main issue if anybody could help my sgs2 has had difficulties since coming out of the box tethering in wifi mode. i can turn it on and get other devices to connect but after thirty seconds or so the tethering signal drops out and i loose my connection. i have to go back into gathering and portable wifi hotspots and retire the box again. if i stay in the tethering box i can watch the tick disappear and my devices will loose connection again. i am running a sgs2 i9100 xwlp7 and have rooted the phone which seemed to lengthen the tethering time to a maximum of two minutes but it perfect the drop out 100% of the time. any help here would be appreciated.

Well only reason I rooted was to try different roms since the stock rom on sgs4g is clunky and buggy and the custom roms by our great devs are must more stable... Usually.. Lol and they look better and some extra customization options. Also some enhances on performance and battery life!

do you have a link of custom roms i can look at

Actually I believe your in the wrong forum you use a Samsung galaxy S 2 correct? If so your in the SGS4G forums and they are totally different and flashing one of these roms could potentially brick your phone if I'm not mistaken.

Negative ghost rider.
Not trying to be rude but wrong forum.
Don't want you to start reading into the threads and wind up it not working.
Some apps are compatible but roms are not.
You have been warned.

Tv out?

Is there a way to display the phones screen on the tv?

Hmm a bit behind times are we?
Depends on what roms your running for 1.

Ultragen rom has TV out. I tried it, was going to use my phone as a smart TV function to see xbmc movies, and doesn't work for me. Maybe not the right cable.

What about on stock? Right now I'm on galaxy beam
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

It works on stock.

Could we get someone with a little knowledge to elaborate on this topic? I've been trying to get tv out my phone for two years. The ONLY rom I've ever been able to get it to work with is Ultragen. I don't like ICS though. Does anyone know of a BML rom in which tv out will work? Does anyone know WHY it matters what rom you have? Or maybe how to change something somewhere to make it function properly? I would LOVE to be able to get it working on Valhalla Final.......

I keep hearing ....its a matter of the right cables....I've purchased several cables at different price ranges...and hooked them up multiple ways and the best I've managed to get is a very distorted partially visible snowy screen with audio.
And that's with every rom.

From what I understood is it works on CM9, but there is a green line when you change the rotation.

Alternatively, if what you want is to display pictures or videos from your gallery on TV
and assuming you have Smart TV hooked up to your router. You could use iMediaShare
app, (or any DLNA capable app in the market) it works wonders, to stream any video
or pictures from your phone (or youtube) to your TV. Without the hassle of cables
and such.
Besides, I used RCA cables before with our phone, and picture quality is (outright) crap.

Thanks all for the input. Smart TV, which I just purchased anyway, is a pretty good option.
My main interest in the feature was the ability to play emulators from my phone on the tv.
I read a post FBis251 wrote about being able to sync your wiimote to your smartphone so you could use it as a controller for your emulators.
Not too big a deal, as I don't travel often, it would just be neat.
Once again, thanks for the input all.

I wish I could help you but I'm still hurt from the last time I touched on the subject

Wow dude that was an old pm and I even apologized for that....and now almost a year later if not longer your going to pop this out from your pm?
And I had even supported you a few times after that lol.
And yes at that time you were spamming the dev threads with....."your rom is incomplete"....which was very uncool.

Haha, this is too funny. Man, talking about holding grudges. I guess the man doesn't forget easily.:thumbdown:

Can we try to get back on the track of the hows and whys of this feature?
As in why? doesn't the feature work...
and how? could I, an average American with a little bit of itelligence and common sense, fix it?
I'm by no means trying to take away from what the devs do, it simply amazes me, but there has to be a way of getting the feature to work.
I would not go as far to say the roms are incomplete without the feature, as it wouldn't be used that often, but come on guys, how cool would it be to have a multi platform emulator on the fly!?!?

Nope.
It works on GB. Go back to GB, stay on GB and use TV out.

@lumin30-I'm so sorry man. I just read your post and realized I forgot to thank you for your pm response. My bad my man.
I haven't figured it out on GB. I got it on the Ultragen, which I believe is ICS, so anytime I need the feature I just switch to my Ultragen backup.
Only downside is I haven't figured out how to get back to GB other than Odin, which really isn't a big deal either, just a little inconvient.

Tv out works on ics but has a green bar at bottom of screen in landscape but not in portrait. Here are instructions with pics and a link to a video. Make sure you select NTSC. For some reason default PAL. Also make sure your 3.5mm jack has 4 pins like the one in the pic.
