ok I'll prolly get flamed beyond words for this but here goes.
My girl and I just split up. It sucks because I really loved the girl, and now I dont have the self control to not text her. we just split a couple days ago and I promise myself I wont text her again and of course I always do.
Is there any program that will silently block me from sending a text message to a specific number, I know I can block her incoming text, just want to stop myself and I dont seem to have the self control. Pathetic, I know, but it is what it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wow, you and I are going through very similar things.
Don't know about any app that does what you're looking for though. Sorry.
Sprint can do this on their end.
Text block ########## to 9999 and it'll block the number.
(To see the full rundown, clicky click.)
Hang in there man. We have all been there. You will find it actually gets a little bit better everyday if you don't try to contact her. Also, try to keep yourself busy. If you stay busy, you wont think about it as much

Been in your shoes many a time. Here's a little something i have learned in my years on this planet.
The more you text/call her the more she is likely to keep acting the way she is. Let it go, by doing the calling and texting she knows she has you wrapped. Ignore her, let her be the one wondering about you! She will come around, if not you didn't need her anyway...

Man up and put on your big boy pants.
Have some self control. If it is that serious for you that you just can't stop calling her than send your phone to one of the devs here so it can be used for some good rather than the garbage you seem to be using it for ... Word of advice..whenever you find yourself veung pathetic ask yourself how your grandfather would handle it...then do that instead...
Your welcome
I know the Nexus was released today,and instead of asking questions, I should be out getting it, but I feel that I need to ask this question before I go ahead and get it.
The speaker for the speaker phone and audio playback.....is it really as bad as reviewers say? I only ask because I use the speaker on my phone about 2-3 hours per day listening to podcasts, music and such. As silly as it sounds, it is really high on the make or brake list of the phone.
Also, in this same realm, did the update that is being pushed out doing anything for it? I am just curious if it is actual hardware or just software. I know, with my Touchpad, when running WebOS, sound comes out of the speakers perfectly, but when I boot up the CyanogenMod based XRON ROM on it, it is rather awful and pretty much unusable. So, its obviously a software thing, not a hardware thing.
I don't mind waiting a bit to see if more users have more opinions on it, and worst case scenario, if need be, I wouldn't mind waiting until the Razr gets ICS, or at least the CyanogenMod version of it..
Thanks
I haven't had any issues with audio playback. I'm not entirely sure what issues your referring to either so perhaps you could clarify.
Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it. (coming from a HTC Desire)
There were several places I read it.
This was from this morning (http://tinyurl.com/cv932ov):
Galaxy Nexus speaker blows: The speaker on the Galaxy Nexus is basically useless and one of the worst speakers I have ever used on a phone. It is nearly impossible to use it as a speakerphone and forget about listening to music and podcasts without a headset or external speaker. Some have suggested it might be a software issue and I can only hope so since I can’t even use it with such low volume. The speakers on the iPhone 4S are much better and I have no complaints at all.
I remember both The Cell Phone Junkie and also someone on Android Central mentioning it as well, but with the 2 minutes of searching, I couldn't find it easily on their sites. Its seems people have complained about them being "tinny" and not great at high volumes..
From what it sounds, you have no problems with it at all?
its really not that bad but it improves drastically with the free volume + app

After having a read of that article I'm pretty sure this guy has a biased opinion. Many of these so called issues don't even make sense. For example, better camera (if you look at the example shots hardly any noticeable difference), speaker issue (none of what is stated I can relate to), display too big?(irrelevant, user preference) and 4s being a world phone (doesn't make sense as a GSM gnexus is available).
So basically I don't think this guy really knows what he's talking about. But this is only my opinion
I guess sitting here reading the internet all day at work is going to make my head spin and I should probably just go pick the thing up and actually try it out for myself.
Or, with a bad speaker, I guess that is a way to convince the wife to let me put wifi/bluetooth speakers throughout my house.

Ohh, I agree 100% that the article was written by an Iphone user, designed to draw people from Android to IOS. But, like I mentioned, I have heard it before and figured it was easy enough to ask in the forums about it.
I think most of the reviews have come from the GSM version, to there might be a software upgrade that might have helped it..

Yea but..... That's another 6 envious hours of sitting at my desk reading about people getting it.. I want it now..
Another Vote for Volume+
Its not bad. Its just not very loud. Shoulda called it quiet speaker.

I never thought my Incredible's speaker was really loud, but it always worked good enough for what I needed. Maybe I just need a Jawbone or some sort of Bluetooth speaker... That would solve all the issues if I couldn't stand using the one on the phone..
speaker is fine, used it all day so far... I'm fairly critical about speakerphones and music, and it sounds fine... no samsung phone has a "great" speaker, but this one is tolerable
I just got two:
Samsung Galaxy S II - Titanium from T-mobile (SGH-T989)
Not rooted, etc...But stock, as they come from t-mobile.
Voice quality is pretty bad on those two units. I can hear the other party muffed. I thought they are on speakerphone or talking thru a headset. Then the person with the other S G II noticed the same issue. I am having hard time understanding the other party in every call. I really got to focus on the conversation
Low voice volume when rocker is on max. It is hard to hear people in street noisy environment.
I talked to T-mo rep and they said that probably the phone is like this, and suggested to go to t-mo store and try one of their units. I wonder if it's the entire batch or the phones are like this.
I am coming from Google Nexus One. I wonder if Ice Cream will solve this issue or cyanogen mod 9. Is it hardware or software issue? Anyone else with similar thoughts?
Honestly, coming from a Sensation, this phone has incredible sound quality and speaker volume.
I think you should warranty both handsets.
I came from the MyTouch 4G... And the SGS2 has such better sound quality than I had with my MyTouch, and I liked the MyTouch... I think you got a bad phone... Two bad phones, if that's possible... Haha
I have the same problem. Sounds like crap. I returned my first one after about 2 days. Got another one and it worked fine for a month or so, yhen the same thing happened. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do now. I can't Stand it.

Yeah i have notice as well
i've been using it for 2+ month now, it's loud and clear
you guys must have got some duds
the other day another user asked me about the Mic, and after using compressed air to clear it out, is fine now
if you put the phone in your pants or jacket pockets often it might be stuffed

Thank you for your input.
I have no problem with my mic. The other party has no problem either, since I talk to different people, and I still have the same result. I have problem with the speaker, or the sound chip. The phones are brand new so no lint/dust in the speaker, or the mic.
I think Samsung does some changes with every different batch. This one is probably just like this. Nothing can be done. The series I am talking is: Samsung Galaxy S II – Titanium for T-Mobile, manufactured in December 2011 (no headphones in the box).
I am sure a lot of other SG2 s are fine.
The volume is on max, when I call someone (before the other party answers) ringing in the speaker is not clear or crisp, since the volume is on max.
I talked to Samsung today 12/21 and they have not hear of the issue. I talked to t-mobile on 12/20 and they have no solution either.
I guess it’s going on craigslist. Probably this will be normal voice quality for other users, and I will downgrade to Nexus S (hardware wise) until some other nexus appears at the end of the next year.

That's what it is. Talk on my phone you'll clearly see the difference. My old Sensation had horrible call quality until I ran the volume + app but then my battery started dying quickly
So I got rid of it & haven't looked back since.
This is someone coming from an unlocked iphone 4 in white (best call quality besides the Galaxy S2)
My GS2 is so clear and loud I never have to worry about hearing other callers no matter where I am. Take both phones back and have the reps at the store exchange them for you.
If they give you grief, have them make calls from your 2 handsets. Make sure they grab a demo phone to compare yours to
same
I have the same exact issue. Just got my phone a few days ago, enjoying Pandora in the car with the AUX input jack...
A call comes in, I answer, and I can't heard a damn thing! I make sure the In Call volume is set to max, still can barely hear the caller. I turn up my stereo...finish the call...then BAM! Pandora is blasting my ears off!
Incredibly frustrating!
sharko, wondering if you were able to get this resolved via exchange...?

I'm not sure if this is just a Sprint Galaxy Nexus bug, but I'm curious to see if its a universal Galaxy nexus bug... Let me know your results!
I explain the bug here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfeyLN7pWRA&list=PLB9F7946C16BE343B&index=19&feature=plpp_video
Happens on my i9250 model. Can only hear it if I literally press the phone speaker to my ear.
Never use touch sounds though.
Is there a bug report in that we can star?
I swear you guys will whine about anything...is it really that serious?

No way, not very serious at all actually. I say that in the video as well. Although your phone should not be doing this.

Nope. I'm on IMM30B (Verizon). But if it is happening, it's so quiet I can't hear it (and it was right up to my ear).
Yes I have this. Sprint version.

Wait, you're saying that the device should not activate the speaker when a command is initiated which involves a sound output???
I can agree that it should turn the speaker off quicker, after the sound is played...Or the sound file which involves the "click" hasn't been trimmed down properly.Sounds like there's always about a second or 2 leeway before the speaker is turned off, this goes for every sound...
I would assume this is normal
Just tried this on IMM76K on a Verizon GNexus and didn't hear a thing.
GSM from Play Store
I have this issue and im using the AOKP M5 ROM with their stock Kernel
This is not a big deal.
BUT I am on AOKP and there is no touch sounds at all even with all volumes on.
That's ridiculous, even more so you have a video for it. Wow.
They all do this. There are many threads on this. Just search them.
I actually like this little audio feedback. You can only hear it in very quiet surroundings and since it has a menu setting ("touch sounds"): it's not a bug, it's a feature.
Ok, now you're just nitpicking.
Annoying.
Sorry for the way they treating you qb youze a legend in the et4g forums

Yeah have this issue with my unlocked Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store...No worries tho it is not that big of a deal to me.
I feel like the Bluetooth us way too loud on my ears and am wondering if anyone had a way to create a gain which controls the amp on the Bluetooth transmission. Please let me know if the development has a shot.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Turn volume down
Maybe stuff some cotton in your ears ahead of the bluetooth headset?
If anything I find that the audio output of most devices is too low. Of course, I'm probably old enough to be your Grandpa and don't hear as well as you but that's just my perspective.
Have you tried the volume + app? There is settings just for Bluetooth. You can get the app for free through the devs website.

I actually bought it and am trying to figure it out to the Bluetooth volume.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It seems like it's not going to help because it was already set to zero and is ranged from begging at zero all the way up to plus four. I guess my ears are not going to be using Bluetooth then. I have motorola Bluetooth devices and they are way too loud and people arejust talking plain too loud. The lowest arguing is still way too loud for me and I can't take it, argh. But i'm going to try to fund a dev who can make it happen because it's probable an application which can do the job. It's seems like a good idea to me though since we ask deva and the help us. we can all do deving ourselves with practicing. although I'd like to dev I have Sweden how much work master and slave putts into just the notifications bar and us not something I'd like to do as a everyday thug because it's more work than a day of kitchen work which is good news but I'd really have to make it a fluent language before I rely on it to make my efforts.
