[Q] Ventriloid/Mangler issues - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I REALLY want to get Ventriloid/Mangler working. It keeps force closing on me. Both apps do the same thing. Before I would connect and be able to talk 1-3 times then the push to talk button would stop functioning and I would have to abandon it and try again later where it would do the same thing. I changed the push to talk button from hold to a toggle and it worked a lot better. However it still force closes ALL the time. If it worked for a little but and then force closed I wouldn't matter as I was gonna use it for short conversations where I need to tell someone something, I really want this app to work. Has anyone been having the same issues?/Found a solution? I'm using stock rom and I rooted it and it still FC's. Halp please.

Sorry for posting again since I haven't received a reply. Am I the only one experiencing these issues?

It is sort of a PTT program but it isn't like tikl. I have downloaded the app and will try it later tonight once I get home to get my vent info and then I will post my results for the OP

I had similar issues when I used them before. I know the big issue is you want to "Force 8kHz Transmit" in the settings. I can't recall if that is enough to solve all the problems, but I know that got me working.

Wanted to give this a little bump.
I can connect to Vent, I can hear everyone and do everything the app is supposed to do, except the push to talk feature will not work. I have even tried to put it on auto but the mic never activated. I tried switching hotkey to a keyboard key and that did not work either, it just will not work

Sorry I Haven't posted that update yet but everythin works fine for me. I didn't mess around with any settings, just put in my vent info and it worked(though there were complaints of me being really loud and a tn of backround noise while I was talking mid raid)

keyboard not working at times?

seems like everytime I open a text message and go to respond, the keys dont work. I can feel the haptic feedback but no text is entered. I have to exit the app and reenter.. Its not only in Messages, but all apps. Other buttons on the screen seem to work, but the buttons do not.
anyone else been noticing this?
Yup!
I've noticed it most typing in the text box of forums... though it is inconsistent.

Yeah mine does that too and it takes a few seconds to get out of the loop then it can type again. Kinda weird wonder if any fix to this.
Keyboard Issues
+1 to this issue
One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.
I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.
Anyone got a fix yet?
is anyone running the Overclock widget? It seems like once the message pops up "overclock widget has been granted superuser permissions" everything returns to normal... until I go to respond again ahhhhh
i have the same problem i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it i thought my phone was goin bad really quickly because i like just got it a couple weeks ago but i dont know what the deal is
if i goto messages i can press all the keys and nothin comes up and if i go to landscape the box is gray and i feel it has to kick in later
another problem i have been having is when i click on to call someone itll call them like 20 seconds later instead of immediately anyone else get this problem too?
i find that if I turn the phone into landscape mode, click the bubble, then turn the phone right side up again.. It works... seems more like a software bug then anything.. or something to do with the sensors.
My friend's Evo running stock FroYo has had this problem. I haven't seen it, but I am running a custom rom. I wonder if that makes a difference.

I'm running stock froyo and this happens quite often to me as well. If I wait a few seconds after I notice nothing typing on my screen it will eventually catch up and let me type normally again. This happens daily.

What keyboard are people using? I thought it was a Swype thing, but it sounds like the problem is more general.

[Q] Answer phone

every other time my phone rings I cant answer it. The accept button just wont move?? is it just me or have anyone else had this error I have a dezire z
Do you have set CPU set to 245MHz @ screen off?
no i dont, why?
Well that could be one cause, maybe it's a bad app causing your phone to temporarily freeze? Can you slide it the other way and ignore the call?

why do you suggest this? how do you know hes using kernels? im just trying to see what your connection to the solution is -its quite a specific answer to a problem that hasnt really been examined. what rom is he on, etc before you can start talking about kernels -- so can you clarify?
accept button - do you mean the slider? if you have cmod - just activate settings to disable lock menu/trackball/ whatever --also you could try the no-lock unless you have security issues.
if no cmod -- theres apps to reduce the lockage -- that may help you get your phone calls but still doesnt fix the problem? you could try enomther's and his awesome extra ssettings app has all those options
Thanks for your help, well it is my wifes phone and it is fresh from the store, just a bunch of apps installed.
I will try some things and see if i can figure it out. And yes it is the slide button, can that be switched for a push button, Is it theme based or in the dialer?? hope you understand what i say.

If its a stock DESIRE Z and not a G2 then I think it's safe to assume its got sense on it and not AOSP. Did you try hard resetting it? (power down and pulling the battery for at least 30 sec) other than that id check for any OTA updates in the settings menu. OR if you're willing/know how, you can root it and run CM or virtuous. Both ROMs are excellent. If you do that and the problem persists, it could very well be a faulty unit. You have a lot of options!
I found I had problems answering calls when I had a specific make of screen protector on the phone. As soon as I took that off and went back to a previous one I'd used then it was fine again ! It's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Problem solved, An update did the trick, thanks for helping out my friends,

Force close frozen keyboard

My keyboard constantly freezes, sometimes when the phone is ringing and I cannot even answer the call.
Is there a way to force close it?
Did you already tried rebooting your phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
Thanks for the answer but my question is if there is a way to force close Keyboard so I can answer a call if the phone is ringing or an sms, etc.
When I reboot it fixes the issue of course.
Think he meant does a reboot fix the problem for good or at least for a while, meaning it doesn't happen the next time or for a few more times. I understand that is a pain. I have not experienced the keyboard freeze/lag problem since being on 4.0.4 if that helps. As far as a way to FC the keyboard WHILE your phone is ringing.. I think you are out of luck.

I guess I'll just wait for the update, thank you for the reply.
well you can always go into the running apps section and force close the keyboard, it'll be a running service.
I haven't heard of the issue. Haven't had any keyboard problems. Sorry.

Someone kill me now.

Ok so, ever since the LI3 update, my auto correct is broken, i just upgraded to JB. STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. No one seems to beable to help me, samsung claimed it would be fixed next update which was JB and its still broken.. this only happened to some groups of people. I have an option to send it in for service but i use my phone for work. i cant give it up for a week of shipping+a week of it being worked on+a week of shipping back to me.. can someone please give me suggestions? ive formatted, ive factory reset in every form (from settings, keypad code, and hard button reset), ive wiped all settings, and all of that.. someone please try to help me out? D=
Im so tempted just to get a different phone even though i love it so much.. its so frustrating when you have an important conversation you have to reply quickly to, but cant because every letter you press shows up and doesnt auto correct into what you meant =/
(Yes the topic is just a harsh term)
I belive it HAS to be something that does not get wiped during a factory reset but idk what or how to access it.
Happens to me constantly. When I get annoyed with correcting myself I switch over to Swype temporarily but honestly have found NO fix for it on my end either.

When i swype is corrects but only when swyping =/ tapping on keys does NOTHING. Samsung is worthless in helping with this national issue, i just want to bang my head on a wall =( Im trying to trouble shoot it right now.. seeing if factory reset after jb install will fix it.. and keep my account unlinked from my phone with only stock apps and see what happens
and looks like bear bones is the same.. WHAT COULD IT BE!
Unsure but I am actually someone who htes downloading and installing third party apps in order to take the position of an already installed app except for browsers and occasionally Launchers. I personally love the Stock Samsung keyboard but just wish this feature worked and I would be in love.

On LG8 it worked perfectly fine for me =/ when LI3 hit and broke it.. only for some people. my younger brothers keyboard works fine and hes on LI3
Any chance of taking it back to the Sprint store and getting a replacement? I know chances are you won't get a NIB phone, proba refurb, but if it truly is a software glitch I don't see how they can't replace it. I also realize it's not the same as a phone not working at all, but they do promote unlimited texting and if there is something that is stopping that from happening, i.e. typing legibly, I would hope they would rectify it. I know the techs at my local store would bust their balls trying to get it fixed.
Ok, lets just entertain each other for a second. What do you have Selected in Auto Correction? Modest, Aggresive, Very Aggressive?

Umm idk what keyboard your using but the stock Samsung keyboard does not have any "strength" of auto correction. I have appropriate settings selected and tried all. This is in fact a 100% glitch.
Swift Key 3 <3
Once i upgraded to the Galaxy S3 i was immediately turned off by the Samsung stock keyboard. Then i found SwiftKey3, Ill never go back to a stock keyboard again. The predictive text is incredible. May be a paid app but its the best money you could spend on one.

Can't press 'Install' when installing an APK

Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.
I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!
I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.
Sent from my G3223
Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

Thanks for your feedback and I have also had that problem too. Of course yes we can go into app settings and enable and like you stated it's a pain haha. I know this isn't the place to point these problems out and get them fixed but it's nice to know I'm not the only one ??

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
