Disable annoying roaming sound

Hi I am about to rip my hair out. I live Boston and ride the train everyday. I use this time to watch movies. I chose the epic for its beautiful screen and video codecs.
However, I am unable to enjoy my train rides because of this really annoying sound whenever I am roaming...which every three seconds in train tunnels. Its also really embarressing for others to hear it.
I have already disabled Roaming Guard to stop the stupid warning screen but I cant figure out how to stop the sound.
Please help.

There is no way at this time to disable the loss and gain of 3G signal. It has plagued everyone.

With this setup, I hear calls, and media, but my texts only vibrate. Also, I never hear the battery popup, or roaming beeps. Hope this helps.

Another option is to use roam control before starting your train ride to force it on roam only and will only make that noise once then after ur done w/ train ride can put it back to auto so its not switching around on you...

Sorry I haven't had time to reply. When I use the vibrate suggestion I get skips in my vide music. On the trip home I turn on my Relax playlist that has like soft indie jazz and blues to unwind from my job (pawn shop).
I'm gonna try he roam thing...it is really annoying. I switched from an Evo and I'm starting to regret it. Is there ANYWAY to stop this?? Is there ANY rom that can bypass it, or any app? In the matter of twenty seconds my phone roamed in and out which made get a headache. Sorry to sound like a baby its but its fustrating that you can't remove this..."feature".

Someone on another thread was saying everytime the train went into a tunnel, all the Android phones would chirp like the traincar was filled with crickets. I can't believe this hasn't been fixed/modded yet.
I went looking for the offending ogg file but couldn't find it.

If it was that easy it would have been removed a long time ago. It is built in somewhere...maybe in framework or core system.

Still no fix for this?

Hasn't been in the year the phone has been out so probably won't be. It has been looked at by the best we have and no one can find where it is called from. It is baked in somewhere.

Blows. Annoying sound forces me to carry an ipod around for my music. Defeats the purpose of having this epic.

for a few days every few hours even though i had it set to 30 minutes it didnt work right. now its been updating every half hour and still the same crazy data. i mean its only a few lines of text for each article. i only have 10 newest showing. it doesnt make any sense. something has to be going on in the background that i dont know of.

hory chit
the battery life was probably terrible if it used this much :/

That's crazy! Have you mailed the developers? It must be images or something, text couldn't add up to that. Maybe leave it connected to your wifi and run wireshark or something (if you've got an adapter that will run promiscuous mode properly) - maybe you can see what it's doing...

This must be a bug, the app developers wouldn't want everyone with their app using this much data from their servers every week!

Images? Forget about images, this has to be downloading high quality videos to get to 9GB.

I have some serious security concerns about what this app is doing. You should try to sniff the data and see how much its sending versus receiving. I'd be curious to know what IP addresses it is communicating with. Did you install it directly from the market?

You should contact the developer, he is very responsive and provide good support.

Hi,
I am the dev of this app.
1. when you have such trouble, please contact me by email (hopefully somebody did).
2. check if it load images and images sizes. It doesn't load 'thumbnails' from the websites, but full images if thumbnails are not available ... so, if the website use big images of 2Mb ... it can goes quickly.
3. disable widget cache if it was enable
4. here is my widget with 3h refresh period and 8 feeds :
http://pureapps.planethoster.org/images/presentation/pne_data.png
5. if you use the internal viewer, all browsing you does in the viewer is counted ... video streaming, downloads...
@deekjx : For comments about 'security concerns', dump the UDP/TCP trafic if you want, there is nothing hidden. But, please, be careful before publishing such comments. Now, if the app doesn't come from the market, you can be right... few users reported Pure calendar hacked bersions containing viruses because they got it from a 'forum'.
Please, email me logcats just after a manual refresh to check what is wrong.

Same for me too
Switched to manual update worked fine. contacted dev through market

Needing a Better Calculator

Calc app works perfectly with multi window....
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

If you guys are talking about the stock app, how can you say it works perfectly when the dimensions of the app force you to use more than three quarters of the screen to use it? Could you recommend one that uses half the screen, because if I am expected to give up so much real estate for it, it would be better to completely switch from one app to another. I had thought the whole idea of multitasking was to do more than one thing at a time.
EDIT
Honestly, if you guys are just attempting to be rude, I'd rather not have the help because I was intending to get answers to a serious question.
If the video player that comes stock didn't show the full dimensions of the movie but "worked perfectly" with multi window by merely running and displaying half of the screen, I doubt that would be good enough for you. Of course, you could just expand the window to get more of the picture, but that defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Office Calculator, AirCalc, and Adding Machine are my favorite Android calculators.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-T889)
Android Version: 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Build: JRO03C.T889UVALK8 (Rooted)
Device: Motorola DROID X
Android Version: 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Build: 4.5.605.Accurate_Battery (Rooted)

I second aircal, I use it on jellybam (no multi-window as it is AOSP) but floating calc = better the multi-window calc since you can have 3 things up at a time then lol.
Of course the calc is not super feature rich, but for general math it is good enough for me.

Thanks. With the dev name, I was able to find it. Without it it seemed as though you were talking about the stock and I didn't know any better. It was pretty far down the list, but I found it and I will try it out. The screen shot surely looks much more promising then the stock one on our devices. The Air also looks to have even greater utility and I will give it a look as well. Thanks again.

Google talk is now Hangout

Did anyone else get this update is yet?

I haven't downloaded it. When I check through on my desktop, on the Android Market website, it shows Hangouts (replaces Talk) as incompitable with the GN2, or at least the Sprint variant.

If you're using dpi mods, the Hangouts app won't work. As of yet tablets aren't supported.

Being rooted, I deleted Talk and then installed Hangouts. It works for a short time and then I start seeing a message that says it can't reach Google. Not sure what that's about. I also kept getting a Talk and Hangouts notification every time I got a message and I wasn't allowed to clear the Talk one.
In other news, I manually placed it on my Note 10.1 and it has worked flawlessly...

Still no update available for my phone. Hopefully today

Having played with Hangouts...
You're better off with Talk and G+. Hangouts doesn't even have online/busy/not-online status, which has been a fundamental piece of online chat since....I dunno....AOL AIM?
I played with the "update for all of 30 minutes before I reflashed my ROM. Hangouts is currently not even a feature-complete AIM replacement. It is pretty, but that is about the only thing it has going for it over what it is supposed to replace.

What is the difference between online (green in Talk) and offline (gray), busy/do-not-disturb (red) or away (yellow)?
What is when one does not have any picture?
How do I see the list of my Talk-/Hangout-capable contacts? I have about 10 such persons in Google Talk, but suddenly 20 more in the Hangouts list.
Sorry guys but it's really crap.
I've deinstalled it.

WRONG!
Some of them only use google account to activate the android phone and to use the app (play) store, they do not use GMail nor Talk or Hangups. At least one is only using iPhone and iMac. I used to talk to him once. He never starts Talk or Hangups since them. They are all on the long long list... Why?? How do I remove them easily?
And: how do I signalize that I am busy and may not be disturbed ("busy" = red)? How can I see that someone is away (Android phone online but screen is off: yellow/orange)?
Sorry but is is crap, CRAP *CRAP*, not an upgrade!
Bask to Talk ... and happy again!

I have the update.. But didn't take it.. I like my inverted talk better
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss :flipoff2:
-SoA: Son's of Android™

I'm in the camp that says it's the biggest piece of crap google has put out in a long time. While I think the name itself is lame as hell. My main issues in order are...
1. All of your contacts are added whether you want them there or not. Face it, I don't want every contact in my address book in my hangout. There is no way to remove the unwanted contacts from the list without blocking them (which also blocks them from your google+. Now I have 200+ names in my hangout. Wheres that stupid sign that we can hang around google's neck.
2. I have 2 separate accounts one for just my family and the other for my xda friends. There is no real way to separate these accounts all the contacts for each are merged together. Again, where's that sign?
3. While it does show when you are online or offline it doesn't give you to option of being away or busy.
There or more but these are my top 3.
It's really a huge step backward from talk.

I tried it with my girlfriend, at home on our wifi network and it still paused due to a slow connection. Pretty sure 75 down/ 25 up should be good enough for this with nothing else hooked up to the network.

Makes sense. But you dont have to download facetime from the app store. Its like 1 person out of 10 has this installed and theres no use of it when u have it and u try to video call ur friend or mom who has no idea what google duo is.
Now if they include that in Nougat, then its a different story.

To me this is a negative, not a positive. It's the reason I don't use whatsapp. I flip sims whenever I travel so I want something that's got an account login, not registered to your number. I use hangouts as my main application. The only thing it doesn't have that I really wish it had was Push to Talk like whatsapp does.

Im really digging this Duo app. My girl and i have been using it quite frequently without issue. That was the only thing i liked about Apple phones and now we have our own version. While i understand not having everyone on board with it but for a small circle of people it's great.
