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.

So, how'd you all like (or dislike) iris?

If you haven't heard about iris go here;
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Gingerbread-Iris-Siri-iOS-Honeycomb,news-12968.html
So, what do you think about it? I think it's unreal that they made in in just 8 hours! Grated, it has a few problems but overall it's extremely well done. One problem that really annoyed me was that it was working fine, then about 4 hours later it would give me complete and utter crap for answers. Now it's working again, if I was to ask "How did Jhon F Kennedy die?" I would receive a full answer provided with pictures, dates, etc. Whereas before I would receive answers such as "He was bitten by a werewolf." or "He sold his soul to Yelloweyes to let Jake live."
Anyway, what's your take on this?
Please - No Apple Fanboys.

Check out IVONA it's free until the 15th of november, and it sounds extremely realistic;
Demo: http://www.ivona.com/
Download: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ivona.tts
BTW the data that's needed to be downloaded is about 200mb. But it's worth it.

I think all this voice stuff is crap I'm betting it doesn't take off, it's just a gimmick. Who in real life is going to start chatting to their phone in any real social situation its unrealistic to say the least. The only thing its good for is showing off how clever your phone is, which imo is stupid.

agreed.
Just a silly gimmick that in reality doesnt actually work that well.

So..it's cleverbot with a speech synthesizer that can apparently do some fact querys?
Isn't the main point of Siri that it interacts with your phone and does stuff there?
I wouldn't call a text-to-speech cleverbot the same as siri or even remotely close..
8 hours doesn't matter in this case - it's simply programming speech-to-text and vice versa from the bot.
Actual interpretation and phone interaction is a completely different and much more difficult thing.

Yes. I'm not sure why you're all fobbing it off. Anyway, here's some upcoming features;
- in 2 days apparently it's going to become supersmart -
Features they will add eventually also include:
Location services
Reminders
Better commands (Such as better contact lookups, etc.)
Weather
etc. etc.

[Q] Google earth control

Ok, this may be a totally dumb question, but how the hell do I control/interact with Google Earth on my Nexus (4.0.2). I cannot seem to get it to tilt and pan etc using touch. I see no other icons or menus with control options? Am I missing something simple?

Uninstall and redownload.
Terminators run on Android

Ok. I'll try that. but this was the pre-installed Earth that came on my phone. Not sure I can uninstall. will try though. It's updated itself since I got the phone so should have the latest version, but will try. thanks

Ok I uninstalled the updates to the app, but I cannot uninstall this "system app". So I disabled it, forced stop. Enabled it again and will now download updates to make it 6.1 again.
I'm not sure what I should be seeing when using this app. There are no controls.

Just go to market and search for your application on the menus, then press your app Earth and there will be an option to update.. That's what i've done.
Cheers!

I have the very latest google earth from the market. 6.1 something.
Here is a screenshot. Does this look right? how do I tilt the screen to get the 3d angle? all I can do is drag around, and rotate. I cannot tilt so I can see topography?
ARGH. Im sure its just me not knowing how to use it.
Screen shot - where are the tilt controls?

I too would like to learn how to tilt the view in Google Earth.
But I am bemused by the responses so far. Why is it necessary to uninstall and reinstall? Are you suggesting that the factory installation (with updates) is somehow broken?

Use two fingers to rotate/tilt.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Hold two fingers to the screen and instead of pinching, just slide both up or down to change viewing angle or rotate them in a circular motion around a centred point in order to spin.

I thought so, because the OP said other icons and controls were also missing. I also did not realize it was a system app (it was a Market app on my Fascinate and treated by my ROM as a user app)

How the hell did I not figure that out!! Never used multi-touch in that way before.
Thats great. Exactly the solution I needed. thank you.
I've been using touchscreen for 2 years, so I cannot be the first person not to figure that out. No hint on the app itself or help about how to do that.
anyway, cheers

Thanks to all from me too.

Google maps works the exact same way. If you go to maps and drag 2 fingers down you will get that "3d" view. It's cool. They must be trying to get some continuity from app to app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Although I'd agree it's not massively obvious in the app, there's always Menu > Help. Which has this to say:
To tilt your screen, touch the Look-Around icon and ensure it's enabled. To tilt up, touch the screen and move down. To tilt down, touch the screen and move up.

Spotted the problem? The "Look Around" button doesn't seem to exist any more, so the help is out of date! Wonderful.
I can confirm the "two finger draggy-spin" method works fine though

I know the solution. This was happening to me too but i figured out. This is how to do it. Enable auto rotation open Google earth and tilt your device then hold two fingers and swipe downward or upward. I hope i helped so thank me. Ok!!!!!!

[APP] Newest VLingo ported from Galaxy Note

This is version 2.10 - old version was 2.8.x
A few differences in this one, mainly that you can set your own wake up command! (Haven't tried it myself. "Hi Galaxy" comes standard) Couple more bluetooth settings, ability to set memos and alarms, opens apps, new UI, yada, yada, yada
Edit: found out the hard way by installing on my GF's GSII... this is made for 720p screens too

Looks pretty sweet. I'll have to give it a go although I do like the type as you speak function of the default speech to voice service.

vlingo is dead to me.
since they changed a while ago... they got rid of their keyboard which my wife loved, and they changed the way the long pressed search button activates their tool. dead i say.
nice find though!

Thanks for the app, looks good and works just fine! =]

So, what's the difference between this one and the one on the market?

One from market doesn't wake up with "Hi Galaxy", it's "Hi VLingo", and you can't change it. This one is also made for our 720p screen. Also a couple extra options in this.

on AOKP M3 and unable to keep Voice Talk from force closing... Really wish this was available for GNex as I like the special features..

Facebook integration isn't baked into ICS. Did you try Twitter?

I think i figured it out. Its not quite 100% stable, but it does work well overall. The crashing that people are seeing when they can do NOTHING without a crash happens when you use any other wake-up command OTHER then the default "Hi Galaxy". If you don't change the wake-up command it works fine.
When i was changing the command it would crash before i could do anything. Tried it 3 times. Uninstalled and re-installed. Then i didn't change the command and it worked. Once i KNEW it worked, i changed the command as a test and it crashed again.
Can someone else who is getting constant crashes confirm this?

That was my conclusion as well with this app.

I'll see about testing again, but I left the wake up command the way it was (Hi Galaxy)... Mine would allow me to do a command but once complete it would then crash...
Are you leaving other version of Vlingo on your phone or removing?

My phones acting all glitchy..:(

First I noticed that my email icon says I have 205 emails, no matter what. I also noticed that my voicemail icon doesnt like to clear. All my ringtones were set back to default even my email and text. Even after resetting my email ringtone it still wont sound. My multi-window kept opening every time I hit the back button even though I had made it stay closed by pressing and holding the back button. I had to restart my phone for that to work correctly. While this was going on, my phones battery was really bad for 2 days. I didnt even use it, it was connected to wifi and the battery drained by 8 pm, with no use. Its 10:45 here right now and I have 80%, which is good. I noticed the screen flickers with white sometimes too when I hit the home key. I am getting really tired of my phone not working. There was another thing that wasnt working correctly but I forgot what it was, a restart fixed it though. Anyone else having problems? what should I do? I know it isnt much but I like my stuff to work correctly. I Am stock rooted. I am not on lk8.

No one has a response?

Factory reset it?

Sounds like something is borked from a bad download or flash. I would reset to rule out the normal issues. With all the sms and app backup programs out there you don't stand to lose much, if anything, by reflashing the rom.
Why the hesitation?
Rooting can be great but typically is to install a program (feature) or rom that didn't come stock. If you're doing this and can't afford to reset if a conflict comes up then it generally its a good idea to stay 100% stock and let sprint fix your issues [which they typically do with a reset]
If you decide to reset try sms backup, and an app backup program like titanium or app backup and restore.
Good luck!
