Have anyone tried this app < https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.internetspeedmaster > ?

If yes, please inform your phone model and Internet provider. And also, if the speed is increased.

I have installed it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (not rooted) w/TRUE Internet, but do not see any real improvements yet. Also not with WiFi.

What do you mean "terrestrial channels"?

Are there any live news or sports channels?

from now on, you can call her 'well educated'.

Isn't it too harsh?

Maybe you can post a picture/photo, please.

Regarding use of GrooVeIP with you GoogleVoice number, I do use it occasionally for calls to the U.S. just to exercise/test my GoogleVoice number, but I predominately use my NetTalkDuo device hooked between my router and cordless phone. But when I do use GrooVeIP I pretty much open GrooVeIP, make the call, and then exit/close GrooVeIP. I gave up in trying to get it to work reliably to ring/respond to "inbound" calls.

As mentioned in my other posts, usually after approx. 5-10 minutes after my Samsung Galaxy Ace II screens turn off to save power, GrooVeIP would stop responding/ringing for incoming calls. Sometimes it might respond to inbound calls for a few hours, but 90% of the time approx. 5-10 minutes after the screen goes dark GrooVeIP won't respond to inbound calls. Now, swipe my finger across the screen to get it our of screen/power savings mode which takes about a second, the screen/icons instantly appear, I look in the status bar at the top of the screen and the GV (GrooVeIP) icon is green indicating it still has a good connection to GoogleVoice servers (if no connection it is yellow). However, make a test call "to" your GoogleVoice number (like using my NetTalkDuo VOIP device) and GrooVeIP will not ring....you will hear the phone ring until my GoogleVoice voice mail picks...I can leave a voice mail and get a email sent to me...but GrooVeIP never responded/rang to that incoming call.

This occurs whether on a my DTAC mobile data or home wifi connection...but seems to hang in their a little better on the mobile connection but with the mobile connection the sound quality may not be as good as on a wifi connection. But if I have a VPN connection running I do not experience the problem, however, but, if I lose the VPN connection even for a few seconds and the VPN reconnects automatically, and the GV icon remains green but its back to not responding to inbound calls...I have to exit/close GrooVeIP and let it reconnect to the GoogleVoice servers...and it will indeed respond to inbound calls until my phone screen goes dark for 5 to 10 minutes. Other apps I have on the phone which use the internet to sync continue to work fine, connect to the internet, do their thing while my phone's screen is dark.

In my case I've just never been able to get GrooVeIP to reliably work for inbound calls on my Ace II. I would just recommend to anyone using GrooVeIP that just because its icon is Green in the status bar does not mean it will ring/respond to inbound calls. Best to do testing if you have a way to make test calls to your GoogleVoice number; hopefully, your GrooVeIP experience will result in inbound calls always ringing...just hasn't occurred in my case. With that being said, since my Ace II has had some minor firmware updates over the last few months, but still running 2.3.6 waiting for the Jelly Bean update, and GrooVeIP has updated itself several times maybe I'll do some more testing on the inbound call function.

Pib, I suggest that you try install and configure Talkatone. It is easy.You'll be able to do all the things: call and get calls back,send SMSs, etc.

Talkatone allows you to make free phone calls to any USA or Canada number from your Android or Ipad.

(or anyone else in the world running it)

Why would you pay for something you can use for free?

Based on your "or anyne else in the world running it" makes it sounds like its another one of those Apps where the other person has to be running the same App in order to talk to each other. But if you wanted to call someone on a landline or cellphone (not running the App) you couldn't unless maybe the App does have that function but it cost extra per minute. I like the ability to be able to call anyone without them needing to have a computer/smartphone/running the same App/etc., and the ability for them to call me for next to nothing or free by dialing my number from a regular phone/mobile phone....and dear ol' grandma ain't never used a computer/smartphone and the abbreviated word App don't register with her.

No, with Talkatone I can call to US and Canadain landlines and mobiles free of charge. It requires Google Voice number though.

Just now I called to the US and Canada and the quality of calls is OK.

P.S.

BTW, I'm still can not make calls to US and Canada using GrooVe IP app.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.0 - any comments?

More one upgrade comes to my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T today. It was called Firmware upgrade, and it offered as soon as I connected my phone to Samsung Kies (Lite) on my PC. The upgrade took some 20-25 min, went fine and at the end the Android version remained 4.1.2.

What was that?

Surprise, surprise..

Today, I opened my PC's Kies (Lite) and it found and offered me to install the update. Which I did, and now, after a half an hour process, I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2.

Everything went smoothly, my system setting and data are in tact. No problems.

I tried to upgrade my SGS3 from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 via: Setting > About device > Software Update > Update

And after checking for update I always got a message: "Access to the Software update ... Try later."

So, I went to Samsung shop in Silom and they told me that I will loose all my data and settings. They recommend me to go to the Samsung shop in Siam Paragon (2nd floor), as they could do it without the lost of data/settings.

Does anyone tried it?

Please share your experience.

P.S.

My phone model is: GT-19300T

Android: 4.1.1

Just to be sure, Are Apps shown as Moveable on the App2SD?

If not, not knowing what Apps you have on your phone, maybe you don't have any moveable Apps? Or has the recent JB upgrade caused the problem maybe.

Sure, The apps are shown as moveable. And when clicking on them, the app info window opens, but there are no button to move the app.

"ON SD CARD" window, there is a message:

The device does not have a real primary external storage, or primary external storage is emulated.

Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device.

I'm unable to move apps to the SD memory on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android version 4.1.1) .

Does someone is able to move apps to SD, or have the same problem?

P.S. I'm using App 2 SD (move app to SD) at: https://play.google....t.gphone.app2sd that claims that this app is compatible with Samsung GT-I9300T.

I just bought myself a new phone and I want to add it to my Google Play account at: https://play.google.com/ , so that I will be able to manage both phones individually. If I bought some apps for my first phone, is it possible to install them on my second phone, or I should purchase the same app again?

One phone (SGS3) I'll use myself, the other (Galaxy Mini 2) my daughter will be using.

Dear pisico,

Thank you

monty,

2. One can't complain about the dirt-poor programming if it costs (almost) nothing. Value for money is the issue.

Please clarify:

Re: Google Voice phone number issued/setup

What this number is like? Is it starts with +001 or something?

I guess, my friend in Canada can sign up for me.

Which tel. number (Thai or US) should be associated with my GMail account.

(Ten digit number Thai format: 081 81X YZAB - this is number for calls inside Thailand)

Grove IP Lite does indeed work through your Google Voice account.

If someone doesn't already have such an account, I'm assuming use of a proxy or VPN would facilitate that.

Though, it's a Google Voice account (Google email), and not the Google Voice app.

Yes... I've used Groove IP Lite for making calls to the U.S....and had good experience with it.. As has member Lomatopo here... Pib also has used it, but had some problems on his device.

If I understand correctly, this app requires Google Voice ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice&feature=related_apps ), which is currently available only in the US. Is there a work around?

Does someone tried GrooVe IP at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gvoip
