[Thunderbolt Android Development] NCX Designs:
Footprints is not the same

Locations is the premium navigation found on Desire HD/Z/Incredible S

Its much better than Google Nav, it has integrated maps for offline use so its instant load navigation, better voices, has traffic support, traffic/red light cameras and other features.

The maps navigation is provided by TomTom, and was originally going to be on the ThunderBolt as it was shown at CES.

The other app, is HTC Hub, this lets you connect to HTCsense.com for more features and free downloads.

the app is replaced on the ThunderBolt with the identical name by "HTC Widget downloader", but it has some HTC Hub support since it can download more widgets available on the Hub.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] johnnydroid:
this is what im talking about and i am praying will be cooked up by some ppl here at xda..only thing im missing is the hub and i was hoping to have locations..this would be great
[Thunderbolt Android Development] NCX Designs:
I'm sure we'll get it at some point even if it has to be a custom ROM

Incredible S has both Locations and HTC Hub, HTC Likes and the new Car panel

HTC Hub - HTCsense.com

HTC Likes - HTC reviews android apps and only recommends the ones it likes in this app, this can also be attributed to how many "likes" the app has received from other HTCsense.com users, so you can see what the popular apps are

HTC Locations - Search for POI's based on your current location without loading another app, look for food, gas, atm, shopping and more, then narrow down your results by distance and even see phone numbers and auto call to get hours of business. Navigation includes Walking or by Car, many voice choices with languages, download more maps, see traffic info, download red light cameras for map, download speed trap info and more voices. Instant on navigation maps that never have to load grey boxes one at a time, 3d and 2d modes, built in call support that never makes you leave the navigation screen even when in a call.

This WAS supposed to be on the ThunderBolt, however it still may get put on in a future update, maybe the Gingerbread update ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superchilpil:
Verizon denied it that's why they aren't included
[Thunderbolt Android Development] NCX Designs:
htcsense.com will return in a future update, Netflix and Google Music will also be in an update in the near future as well. Gingerbread update should bring these features to the Tbolt.

HTC finally has fixed most of the problems on the htcsense.com website, its faster than it was before and even loads all the content finally.

I guess until Tbolt gets HTC Hub, i'll download the content such as skins and wallpapers via my Droid Incredible and then transfer it to my Tbolt.

I already got over 29 skins counting the ones on HTC Hub and 12 wallpapers.

Now i'm contemplating whether or not want i want to wait until Gingerbread is out to root it or not
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superchilpil:
I would say root just to get s-off right now. Then u can flash any firmware without worrying about not being able to root it

[Thunderbolt Android Development] NCX Designs:
I'm gonna probably wait a little longer before I root, I want to make sure root doesn't prevent certain upcoming features from working. The fact we got HTCsense.com back on Tbolt only shows how easy it is to get it back even by an official update without having to change Sense. I'm hoping we get Gingerbread like that was shown off on EVO 3D today. I just hope to get the other missing features we should have gotten to work again, including Locations since its the app to making the Tbolt the closest thing to a Garmin or TomTom GPS. Better than Google Nav in my personal opinion.

Then next item we need to work on is getting Landscape working without having to put it into a dock to activate, if it can activate with a dock we should be able to turn it on by making a widget or something.

I'll be continuing my theme designs as well since ThunderBolt is replacing my Incredible.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mthorn79:
I've been looking all over for info on this! Coming from an Inspire last week the Hub was one of the main features I loved about Sense! If you could get this over to the T-bolt somehow Is gladly donate! :]
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 0mie:
The hub will FULLY work with the Thunderbolt once HTC is done doing all the high maintenance of the site. I've been talking to them about it. I have almost everything working on mine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
The Hub isn't even enabled without a hack. I think they were giving you the run around. No amount of site maintenance is going to fix phone software.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
I'm in the minority of people who absolutely love htc sense. Htc hub not being available on this phone is a major negative. The numnuts at verizon shoved a huge 150mb golf game, rock band and other strange ****e on this phone and removed htc hub. Have they lost their minds? They are just a dumb pipe trying to force phone users to buy some stupid overpriced apps. I hope they understand their place in the chain soon. Thank god for rooting. There is no way I'm buying any phone that I can't take carrier crap out from.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Well orange glacier was just recently created. Did you say you couldn't get into recovery? Because if you can't try bootloader (power+volume down) scroll down and hit recovery. If that doesn't work use adb to push the pdxxxx.zip or whatever and it will wipe it. Hope that helps.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
If you have it set up plug your phone in try turning on bootloader or just turning it on. Then go to where you have adb located press shift and right click on the folder hit open in command prompt and type adb devices. If that doesn't work head over to the irc channel and beg for help lol

For the people who has a problem with the trackball on your beloved Eris(scrolling left etc.) , I might have a solution.

After flashing from 2.2 (when I had the problem) to 2.3 ( workshed GSB 2.3), I noticed that the trackball bug was coming in and out less frequently....after workshed's updates on 2.3, I have no random scrolls from the trackball. The only problem is that I could no longer scroll left.

I hope this helped most people. I do not really use the trackball so I don't care about scrolling left.

Im in Canada until August and like theres no Verizon here lmfaooo...so I cant return to verizon
[Droid Eris General] cliffordconradsumner:
No time to read through this whole thread but if you're having the track ball issue just get a sheet of copy paper and turn your phone face down onto it and swipe it back and forth and all around using the track ball as a wheel of sorts applying pressure here and there until it works again. Also new trackballs can be had for cheap and are easy to replace.

Oh wow, there were only 3 posts..I guess I did have time. Lol

I am on my second Eris due to the trackball issue and it is starting to happen on this one as well. Today, I was trying to flash some files, and the trackball wasn't scrolling down. I found that if I use my finger nail to pull down on the usb port, it allowed my trackball to work.
[Droid Eris General] mad5870:
Ha I'm on my 7th Eris that had all had trackball issues
[Droid Eris General] tburns:
The magnets for the trackball get messed up by the USB. Something gets knocked loose. Went thru 2 nothing worked better than a replacement. But if it will knock them back into place w00t w00t! :D
[Droid Eris General] CPCookieMan:
Perhaps someone could make a kernel that does not have drivers for the trackball? It was simple enough to disable radio in TheMP3Rom without much issue so we could probably just disable the trackball. Who really uses it anyway?

cant wait to start posting in the development threads. maybe i'll suggest removal of the trackball in a later version of cookiemans themp3rom. he managed to turn the radio off, why not the trackball. i think someone referenced that earlier on in here. anyways, i am definitely going to keep my eris as an mp3 player when i upgrade later this year... or switch carriers. we'll see.

nah .... it's fairly common. It really depends on who you go through & how much hell you raise :D ... or how many Erii you've had prior to the replacement ... various factors.

I think I'd still prefer my Eris w/ its dev community instead of an Incredible & its community ! ;)
[Droid Eris General] SmithsEnemy:
I've only ever had intermittent trackball issues but I only use it when flashing Roms. I think the DInc had it right in dropping the trackball but I don't like the lock button on top, I prefer the hard send and end buttons.

I feel like for me, the volume on the speaker on the samsung captivate is a little on the low side. Its not REALLY LOW, its just that I would like a little bit higher, so I'm wondering how I can raise the speaker above MAX.

Interesting. I use Audio Manager Console from the Market to keep all audio sliders on full, but using this code I found several settings in the 80s.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gephross100:
i want it to be over 9000

but being serious, any other way to boost volume?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7slc:
I've mentioned this before in other posts...my Captivate running the stock 2.1 is very loud. The ringer, the earpiece and the spear phone are all perfectly audible in loud environments.

Enter in ROOT and flashable ROMS.

Once I started flashing ROMs the audio is too low. I can't hardly hear a conversation on the earpiece while driving my '08 Tahoe LT, and it's a really quiet vehicle.

When I flash back to stock 2.1 to ready the device for a new ROM, it's loud again. So the last time I decided to see where it went low in the flashing process. I found that immediately after applying Clockwork Mod, PRIOR to flashing a new ROM, is where the audio drops off.

I don't know why CWM lowers the volume, but it would sure be nice if some of these brilliant devs could fix it. With the lack of any decent handsets on the at&t horizon, I'm going to be using this Captivate for a good while longer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elghouchd:
Like I said in the beginning post, doing this does not make a difference in volume for me for some reason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js22:
EDIT : Never mind. For all the other dummies out there, you hit the menu button and go from there. Thx anyway.

Am I really this dumb ? I made it to the last step, and when you say "change to any number", I can't figure out how to do that. It says "Input?", but there is no keypad or up/down buttons or anything. How do you enter a new value ?

EDIT :

p.s. :

I upped the volume from default 92 to 99 and it made a big improvement.

I agree with other post that previously (Cog 3.04) the max volume was sufficient. The I flashed Cog 4.2.2 and existz beta #7 kernel and the max speaker volume wasn't quite loud enough to listen to music in a quiet room unless I held the phone up close to my ear.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tidusa:
First post here, long time lurker :). I tried the dialer method and noticed no difference whatsover in volume.

I just tried the Galaxy Tuner and wow, the speaker is really really loud now.

Here is how I did it:

1. Open Galaxy Tuner

2. Go into Sound (3D, Hw EQ)

3. Enable "Use 3D Sound". Turn it all the way up.

4. Enable "Use Hw EQ". Turn all the tabs all the way up.

5. Click on "Apply."

I noticed a huge difference in sound (speaker volume is now really loud). Not really sure how it will affect call volume and the speaker on the receiving end.

Thanks.

[Xoom General] roflha:
I am going to buy a Xoom, just wanted to start with that, now I was just curious about a few of the details.

So it is my birthday and my parents have said that they will get me the WiFi Xoom on the 27th or, since my birthday is today, I can pay the $200 difference and get one today tomorrow. This is where my dilemma lies.

I see some benefits to owning a 3G/4G model, never know when you may need to get a data plan to use. However, I currently have a rooted android phone so I am able to tether the device instead. Then I read that some carriers may begin to crack down on unauthorized tethering in the near future.

So that makes me lean a bit towards getting a 3G model.

Problem is, I wasn't sure how the whole WiFi lockdown situation was. I though I heard that Wifi was not locked at best buy, but before that I thought that only verizon sold wifi without requiring a month of data.

Ok enough blathering on... here are my questions

1.) Does a 3G Xoom from Best Buy require a month of data plan

2.) Since we know VZW sells wifi unlocked, do they load any bloatware of any sort?

3.) Unrelated: How is battery life

4.) What would you recommend, pick up a 3G enabled Xoom for $200 or a free Wifi model in a week

EDIT: I have $100 in Best Buy gift cards so that make buying it cheaper
[Xoom General] Legacy2385:
1.) No

2.) No

3.) Superb. You won't be disappointed.

4.) I would pick up the 3G (that's what I have) mainly so you can the option to get insurance on it in vase you lose it, someone steals it or it breaks.

I hope I helped, any more questions feel free to ask.
[Xoom General] aohus:
wait for xoom wifi.

3g/4g is not necessary if you have rooted android phone.

if you have money to burn, sure, get the 3g version. but imo, stick with wifi
[Xoom General] roflha:
See I wanted the possibility of 3G, so if I don't need a data plan from best buy that's great!
[Xoom General] JOHNGAETANO:
Buy the 3G/4G at Best Buy, but with no service. Pay month to month. You don't want a 2 year contract. so your will pay the full price
[Xoom General] tanman21:
If you live in a 4g area I would do the 3g/4g. Lte is so great. I'm getting 20mbs download on my thunderbolt.
[Xoom General] myv6mustang:
I was in the same delima I had purchased a zoom from bb off contract...after a whiile whipping out your phone everytime you want to connect got to be annoying also you then have to charge both because tethering does drain battery. Not to mention RSS feeds and stuff that downloads in the background. Want to check it fire off an email...with out your phone or set it up to tether.

Also if you don't have a 4g phone you are missing out on that. In the end you should decide your use case and base it off that. On contract if you get it go to Verizon because the 20 dollar a month plan at best buy will only save you 50 bucks on the phone.
[Xoom General] roflha:
The contract is $20 then? Is that a fixed rate and is that for 4G when I get the upgrade? And how much data do I get for 20
[Xoom General] myv6mustang:
Yes minimum contract is 20 a month for one gig of data. 80 percent of the time I'm on wifi so it works for me. In order to get the full 200 off from best buy you need t have the 80 dollar a month plan which gives you 10 gigs.
