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.

I use a nice app called profiles. That's the only thing I miss about my blackberry.

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.

Anyone konw of any progress on thsi after the release of GB source?
I wonder if the CM7 build will have this issue, as isnt it built from scratch?

Any thoughts on it? I think it's awesome. Looks way better but I think they took out the function where you can skip ahead in the song

I wish it were. As far as worthwhile music apps this is the one you want though. I pay $10 a month and it's worth every penny there's also a $5 dollar one if I remember correctly.
It's free to use on pc though

Lockscreen
I love the new app but the lockscreen controls don't seem to work half the time. Anyone else notice this?

Assuming you downloaded the new version of Spotify and have a G Nex, when you are playing a song just let the screen time out. It will appear on the lockscreen much like Google Music does.
If that doesn't work try clearing the data for Spotify.
The problem is when I pause a song in the lockscreen and leave for a minute it won't play again.

Oic... Sounds like Android is closing the program because it thinks it's being unused. I'll try

Yeah, the lockscreen control is iffy. No scrobble to last.fm. And pause stops all together. You have to re-enter the app to start it all over.
I'd never tried spotify before so I got the 48 hours free. And then I'll sign up for the 30 days free; however, the Rdio app has a lot more extras and functionality. And it's also recently been updated to holo theme, as well.

When I came across the review of the new Spotify revamp over on Engadget today, I couldn't help but...

The old Spotify app used to FC, freeze, and fail to successfully sync music for offline use. The revamped app has solved all these issues for me. Not to mention the app is MUCH more responsive than the old version.
If you are a Spotify user this is a must have.

But in my case, all the starred items in that playlist do not appear. Anybody else experiencing this?

The Spotify Preview works so much better than the one listen in the Play Store. I do notice some pausing while streaming. Is this happening to anyone else? It may just be my cruddy data connection in the office. Dunno though.

Does the alfa tags work via blue tooth (does it show the name of the song in car stereo, when streaming through blue tooth)?

One problem I'm having that I'd like confirmed or not is that there seems to be no way now to listen through your entire music collection as one giant playlist. I used to do this quite a lot on the old spotify and set to shuffle to jump randomly between all playlists. Don't seem to be able to do that now. Am I missing something?

Thanks so much for posting that!!! Love the service but hated the app. It was super buggy with a horrible UI and limited features. This is so much better.

How do I Get Beats Audio to Work on Epic 4G Touch

Has anyone with an Epic 4G Touch got Beats audio to work on their phone I've done tried several times on several different Roms and it seems like its just not in the stars for me to try this out.....

Rujelus has it baked into Blu Kuban, it's not a separate app. If you use good earphones then you'll be able to tell the difference.
I think someone posted an actual beats audio down in themes & apps section though.

Ohhhhhhhh..... I was thinking it was some type of app you use to tweak the music yourself like some type of EQ... Maybe someone from your team can do that make a app for people who love music and give them the freedom to tune the sound the way they want... These EQ's the come with the phones are ok but not real studio quality i wanna be able to set every pitch bass pop and what ever else i here......lol

Someone might be working on it. Have you checked the play store for apps that might be better than the stock one?

You can also download the beatsaudio_updater as a separate addon/Mod.
I know it is available for many of Mijahs ROM's as a standalone. Have a look in the "MOD's & ADD ON" folders for the current releases of " the ROM with no name", "the goodness" and " ICS Blend MiNI" know they are baked in or available as seperate mods . I have flashed the beats update on several ROM's other than those by created by Mijah and with good results. It is flashable via custom recovery.
NOTE: you will not have a separate app available for beats. You"ll see them available under EQ settings for audioplayers . Hope that helps.

You can theme the app and Widgets, set which folders it pulls music from, set it to auto play when Bluetooth or headphones connect, etc.
I used meridian for a while. After the trial on this, I couldn't go back. My wife was using the free version for a while and was perfectly happy with it.

Also there is zip file available called awsome beats audio which can be flashed and also mijjh slim rom 2 has great working beats audio there really great.

[APP][Link]Modified Apollo for JB AOSP

I did not have anything to do with this other than providing the link, all thanks goes to BigSplit. I am posting the link because BigSplit is an awesome Dev and his work gets overlooked because he is on the EVO Shift (my old device). He added "tab visibility" to the settings of Apollo. He's also made some UI changes. Check it out:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151415
And don't forget to thank BigSplit!

Oh snap:thumbup:

Latest version works with themes. The black theme looks amazing! Also if you have the walkman installed with clear bass equalizer and you install this Apollo, when you select equalizer in apollomod it goes straight to the walkman equalizer and it actually works!
Apollomod plus clear bass equalizer equals PERFECTION!

+1, the best music app for AOSP in my opinion. Thanks BigSplit.

Btw this also works with TW not just aosp. You have to use the version without the visualizer but it works great.

Sweet, the only qualm I have with Apollo (no fault of BigSplit) and actually every AOSP music app.. is the lack of .aac support. The only music players that I have come across that play all my music are the stock TouchWiz and stock Sense music players... half my music is compressed into .aac format. Maybe I should suck it up and buy a 32gb and switch everything back into .mp3, but I don't want to... it's a pain in the arse to convert that many files.

Ahh yeah that's understandable. I'm old school and just a few months ago finally got around to taking my giant CD case and ripping it all to mp3's. Not even familiar with other audio formats. My external SD is dedicated to music storage.
I'd like to actually switch to the cloud thing but sprint is so bad here that streaming my music is next to impossible.

Same here with the external sd for music only(basically, I keep a couple nands on there just in case). Ditto to the music cloud too, never would work for me, my main music time is driving. aac format is about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of an mp3 (depending on the song), which equals more music on my sd, I've got 10 gbs of music on there now (and it's compressed). I need to go back and rip all my cds again (I haven't used them in so long, maybe I can just pull the mp3s that way instead of reconverting)... computer crashed and I lost everything (really long story)... I use MediaCoder on the computer, lots faster... I use the app if I just wanna do one. Pretty cool the stuff you can do. You can turn a pdf into an e-book! Switch video formats, really cool stuff once you learn how it works. I never knew there were so many file formats... it's crazy.

[Q] HTC One M8 Camera/Video Recording Bug

I currently have the HTC One (M8) for Att and have the strangest bug in the HTC stock camera app.
When I go into video mode and hit the "record button", the button will only work EXACTLY every other time.
Now this is what I currently done to try to find a solution to No Avail.
Force Closed the app
Cleared the Cache
Reset the phone many times
Factory restored the phone twice.
Now the Google camera works fine, so this seems to be a software issue. I have got the HTC Camera app to work only once
by resetting the phone, and not installing any updates from the play store for the htc apps, and att bloatware.
btw the htc m8 is not rooted, as stock as they come.
If you have any thoughts on how to fix this bug I would GREATLY appreciate it

I have noticed exactly the same thing. On completely stock phone on 1.54.401.10.
I am learning to double stab the shutter button! Almost certainly a bug HTC need to squash, unless it's in the manual somewhere. Do you also have terrible strobing when you use live HDR mode?

Try disabling the Google Now/Ok Google available in all screens. I think it interferes with microphone on the video camera. The first press seems to disable the Ok Google listening, then the second press allows recording. It worked for me.. It seems to cause crashing of the camera app in some instances as well, according to the thread here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ota-2-22-1540-3-4-4-3-camera-app-t2831209

Good to know my solution is helping people figure it out. I went through 3-4 wipes/restores/flash to custom roms, thinking it was either Xposed or root causing it to figure it out, lol, so I'm glad that you guys didn't have to go through that.

Just for info.. I am on ARHD 7.0, and used velvet.zip to enable Ok Google in all screens. Guess camera 6.0.772726 did not like that.. Any updated camera.apk I tried was not successful either..

UPDATE Android 4.4.3 Update Fixes the bug, (Currently I have the Att model) no more issues with google now and video recording, the camera infacts shows the mic from google now stopping with a message

thanks for this I thought is was exposed as well but turning of ok google from any screen did the trick

This thread just saved my Saturday! On VIPER 3.1 and I don't use the video feature much but had to send a short instructional video via text on how to remove a laptop hard drive and the darn camera kept crashing...disabling Google now on all screens did the trick and saved me hours of frustration! Thank you!

I hate reviving old threads but I am encountering this now on my Verizon lollipop M8. I turned off the Google voice detection on all screens to no avail. Then I find a nearly identical setting in Nova Launcher settings. Sadly that made no difference either , but good to know if that is the cause for others.
I narrowed the problem down to AudioManager Pro. The moment I uninstall it the camera works great. I hope they update AM Pro soon but I doubt it. It hasn't had an update since 2013.
