No. in sensor section I did not see the GPS.

"internal GPS antenna" could means A-GPS.
[HD7 General] Luisraul924:
If I'm not mistaken it has to have an actual GPS chip, I'm pretty sure it was one of Microsoft's hardware requirements.
[HD7 General] elmerendeiro:
most of the phones have a-gps they, need a connection unless you want to wait ages for the signal...
[HD7 General] Audio:
You won't see it in the Sensor section becuase a GPS chip is not a sensor.

And yes, it does have a GPS antenna. A simple google search would have prevented your incorrect rage thread ;)

I seem to be having a weird behaviour with my phone lately. Once in a while, it just slows down to a crawl, and intermittently vibrates (not the quick haptic vibrations, but maybe 1 to 1.5 second long vibrations). although the phone still responds, it's really slow, and i had to do a battery pull in order to get it property working again. I didn't actually have that problem, so i can't be sure, but the symptoms may match those of a bad temp root. (phone slows down, etc). I never waited long enough to see if the phone reverts to normal after a while, and i've always just pulled the battery.

it seems to be correlated to blutooth connections. it happened once when i was turning on an app (torque) ...and today, happened again while i was exiting from torque. i've been using torque for maybe 2 months now, and everything was fine.

the symptoms also doesn't happen all the time.

anyone know what the problem is?

i have a rooted shift, stock rom, and bc's 1.8 kernel running @ 368-1401 on-demand.

it's also possible that the OBD2 blutooth adapter i'm using with torque is a cheap knock off elm327.
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
This is a bug with Torque and Pandora. If you uninstall Pandora or turn off the car Bluetooth in the Pandora settings it will fix it.

I use both Torque paid and a cheap knockoff adapter also.
[EVO Shift 4G General] finalhit:
thanks for the response. are you able to elaborate on the bug? is it the combination of torque and pandora that triggers it? i do have pandora installed, but don't really use it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
This is from the Torque forum:

If you go into Pandora and go to Preferences then at the bottom is "Bluetooth for Automotive" turn that off and it fixes the issue. I rarely use Pandora myself and was bummed that I couldn't use both apps, until I found this workaround on the Torque forum.
[EVO Shift 4G General] finalhit:
Interesting. I also have my phone paired to my car...could that be an issue?

Is the fact that I've only experienced this recently inspite of 2+ mos of use, consistent with that thesis?

edit: nm. i went to the torque forums, and learned myself a thing or two. yup, definitely experiencing those symptoms. the dev was saying the newest version should have some workaround, so we'll see tommorow if it takes.

i dont need a signature

[Thunderbolt General] rckymtnrfc:
I've got this weird problem. I installed Tasker and originally restored a backup of my tasks from my OG Droid....none of them worked. Tasker shows that a certain profile is triggered in the Notification Shade but none of the tasks in the profile happen. My sound isn't changing automatically anymore, the speech engine isn't announcing the name of the caller, etc.

I thought maybe it was due to restoring a backup from a phone without the Sense UI...that perhaps certain calls were different. I uninstalled and reinstalled Tasker and just started to rebuild the profiles manually. They still don't work.

At this point I thought it was Tasker and I uninstalled and instead, for now, setup a couple of events in Sound Manager to just mute the sound (and unmute) during certain hours. They didn't trigger...I had to manually change the sound (which I can do in Sound Manager).

I'm lost as what would prevent these from going off when they should. They worked fine on my old Droid and I have pretty much all the sames apps, so I don't think anything should be conflicting. I'm just hoping someone smarter than I might have seen this behavior or might have an idea on what to check next....

Thanks

[Thunderbolt General] vypurr:
I restored my tasks from my OG Droid to my Thunderbolt, and they all worked!
[Thunderbolt General] rckymtnrfc:
That's weird. I thought perhaps it was the Sense UI that was causing problems. I wonder why these events in Tasker and in Sound Manager aren't happening.

On a side note, possibly related. Cardio Trainer (in the music settings) doesn't let me pick from any of my playlists (where you select which it should use when playing music in a workout). Anyone else seeing this?
[Thunderbolt General] rckymtnrfc:
Could Kickback, Talkback and the other back app from Google cause a problem? I'm not really sure what they do....there were installed with CM7 and then auto-installed on the TB.
[Thunderbolt General] vypurr:
Doubtful, I run those same apps too!
[Thunderbolt General] rckymtnrfc:
Well it's working again although I can't say why. It turns out I did have a dead touch point on the screen, right where the Y is on the landscape keyboard. Went into VZ and didn't have that problem on the 2 display models....and the tech confirmed it wasn't just me.

All my apps just finished auto-installing after signing into my Google account and Sound Manager is working fine. Odd.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kbkrogs:
Hello all.

It goes like this.

The android OS is dynamically allocating ram to apps and then let them "run" as a background process, making them launch faster. When you open an App that use a hell lot of ram (like the browser), it seems like android kills these background processes on a random basis to free up ram to the foreground application (i.e the browser).

Will it be possible to make some kind of priority list, so the user can define what processes android should kill first?

Example: Handcent SMS is kind of slow to start up on my SGS (dohh) unless it is already loaded into the Ram. Since I use Handcent SMS a lot, I would like it to stay in the Ram for a faster launch, unless I launch a program/game that needs the entire amount of ram on my device.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] theblacknight:
Outbreak! Zombies is a global location based multiplayer game. The free beta version of the game is currently available in the android market.

To play you simply download the app and enter a user name. You will then be randomly assigned a state, either infected or not infected. If you are not infected your goal is to survive the zombie apocalypse, if you are infected your goal is to spread the infection. Each user will be visible on a world map, and to infect someone you must be within 500 metres. Currently Dublin, Ireland is in over-run with zombies.

Each red marker is a zombie, and each green marker is a survivor. The game works best when there are lots of users, which is why I am posting it here. I am also trying to gather as much feedback and test scenarios as I can in order to make the full version a more complete and fun game.

There is more information on how to play available here.

There is also a forum here with a lot of discussion about the game.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy,

-Kev
[Android Apps and Games] willverduzco:
Looks interesting! Mind adding screenshots here so more users can see it before going to the Market link?
[Android Apps and Games] theblacknight:
Sure, here you go

There is also a facebook page :D trying to spread the word

To see how the infection can spread head to Ireland on your map, in Dublin there are a lot of zombies, simply hold you finger on any location for a couple of seconds to see users in that location.
[Android Apps and Games] blackroseMD1:

[Android Apps and Games] theblacknight:
Thanks! I'd really appreciate any feedback/suggestions. Would like to know how it handles on various devices too, I only have a Galaxy S and a Galaxy Europa to test on. Working on lots of new features at the moment, like notification service, and ability for people to fight back, along with a levelling system.. and hopefully I will be able to add achievements at some point, I just have to find the time.

[Android Apps and Games] whattehhell:
Cool, looks like it's me and three other in norway, closest around 1500 km away :)
[Android Apps and Games] nubsors:
Great idea! No one is near me though. I see a few zombies north of me about 60 miles. Gotta stay away from them ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Cool idea, seems more fun to be an infected though.

What if Uninfected (clean) could set bombs or traps or similar (that have a certain shelf life or up-time) around their area to keep infected away, or immobilize them for a specified amount of time.

Just an idea to keep the clean folks involved.

Still, great idea.
[Android Apps and Games] blackroseMD1:
It's working great on my EVO. Not sure how easy it would be, but I think a list view to complement the map view of people around you and their location (specific or general) would be helpful. For now, at least, I have to zoom out a lot just to see anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] theblacknight:
The map will only show the 50 closest people to you. Hold your finger down in other areas to show the 50 closest to that point, don't want to over load the map view. Check out Dublin, Ireland .. it's in a bad way. Working on a new version now where survivors can fight back!

Ok so i place any PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD Card and goto into bootloader mode and it never sees this file what is wrong tried to also change the splash screen and update RA and nothing what do i need to do
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Did you rename the file to PC36IMG.zip.zip?

Make sure it's properly named. By default in Windows, file extensions are not shown, so the .zip is already there, you don't need to add it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokster_1000:
no i didn't i download it and placed it right on the root of the sd card and it only has one ext .zip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
There are two requirements for the bootloader to recognize the PC36IMG. One, it has to be named correctly. Capitals do matter. It has to be PC36IMG. As the previous poster stated, if you add a .zip it becomes .zip.zip, so be sure when you are looking at the file in windows, that it's just PC36IMG, all capitals. The other requirement, is that it has to be on the main directory of your sd card, not in any folders. If both of those requirements are met, the bootloader should scan and find the PC36IMG, and ask you to update. I know you said you did all that already, but just double check the file's location, and how it's named. If everything checks out, and it still doesn't work, I would then suggest formatting your sd card to FAT32, using windows, and then copy over just the PC36IMG, and try again. (of course back up your SD card before you format it :)) For some reason, many people have reported the bootloader not finding a PC36IMG, and that formatting the SD card fixed the issue. Hope that helps a bit.

I was unaware of this. What exactly is that? A file on the sd card? I'm looking in my sd card for it now..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Its inside every PC36IMG, attached is one for amon_ra, but disregard it, extract it and look at the txt file. that file needs to be in the PC36IMG for it'll be detected. I recommend copying to your pc, incase you make a PC36IMG, like if you make a splash screen, ect.

Gotchya, thanks. I see what you mean now. Cool.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:

Is this the 'writing on the wall' concerning 3991? Or just another tool?
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
The need for a way to get back to 3588 recovery has been coming up lately - this is a way to address that.
[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
excellent work as always roebeet...if u don't mind just 1 suggestion...when i write my tutorials and such i try to keep things as generic as possible for easier future changes. might i suggest to make your job easier in the future to change the 3588 wording and such to something like latest vs stock or something similar? then all you have to do is update the link and link's descriptor. same thing with cwm i suppose. regardless, this is definitely sticky worthy IMO. great work :-)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I actually worded this with future proofing in mind. It will likely always stay 3588.

I have to see if the next VS firmware changes things - if it does, 3588 is a term we will all be using. Or "1.1" or "legacy".
[G Tablet Android Development] Gramps:
Roebeet,

Just to clarify, if I wanted to go back to 3588 from TNT 5.0.1 (TwoTapsx), I just use the native recovery mode of TwoTapsx to load the 3588 update.zip file and then install clockworkmod .8?

The 3588 recovery packs and procedures mentioned here would or would not also work to down grade from 3991 to 3588?

Thanks,

Gramps..
[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
ahh, gotcha. even better then :-)
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
I amcurious about this too. Assume I flash to a rom with the new recovery, can I get back to 3588 with these tools?
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I have to revamp my instructions, but the gist of it is this: You just run 3588 stock ROM, against the TNT Lite 5 / TTx standard recovery. That standard recovery will downlevel the bootloader, which the critical part to avoid a brick.

TNT Lite 4.3.0 and gADAM 1.3.0 should also work, but for the sake of my sanity I'm just going to recommend running 3588 stock as a backout.
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
Yeah ... I'm wondering the same too

Also wondering should I follow PART1, PART2 and PART3 for recovery process?
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
Roebeet,

If I have installed clockworkmod for TNT Lite 5, can I just flash update using CWM from image downloaded from PART3 ?
[G Tablet Android Development] butchconner:
All of the Part 1-3 instructions address versions 1.0.1 - 1.1 (the first generation of ROMs

and software) as far as I can understand. Will there be a "Part 4" like

them to address the 1.2 software -- 3991 and TTx (since I have both and will have to

go back eventually.

Rev

EDIT -- I changed this post to what I want to know so I wouldn't muddy the waters.
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
thank you butch, so i wait for roebeet to post part 4 then
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
There will be, if it's needed. I might update the title and move things around, or create a new thread. It's hard to know until I see what gets released.

"1.0.1" and "1.1" are the stock ROMs we currently have (3588 is actually 1.1-3588, for example). 3991 UAT is "1.2".
[G Tablet Android Development] butchconner:
So what would the process be to revert from 3991 and TT?

To make sure -- I run the Part I need above using the recovery

in 1.2 (3991 and TTx).

Rev
[G Tablet Android Development] butchconner:
dony71,

My bad. I said I was trying not to muddy the waters and in asking what

I wanted to know I did just that. My apologies.

Since I didn't see an option for UAT 3991 and TTx (1.2 versions) in the original first post, I was wondering if roebeet was going to add another section explaining in

detail the procedure for them.

Rev
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
It's going to go into the TTx thread, initially (it's my giant list of To Do's). That's because "1.2" isn't released yet.
[G Tablet Android Development] butchconner:

This should eliminate many questions from new rooters as the original recovery instructions have been modified so many times. Thanks again for making a fairly simple process even simpler
[G Tablet Android Development] mydave1:
Easy to understand and simple method to recover. Thanks Roebeet.

Will this work to return to stock 1.1 from 1.2.4349 ?
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
No, you wouldn't use any of these to do that. From my experience so far, going from 4349 to any 1.1-based mod is a risk of soft-brickage. I found this in my own testing and TNT Lite 5 users saw the same thing. It's a low risk, but imo it is still a risk and I have soft-bricked my device trying to do this.

[Android Apps and Games] mond2:
Hi, I'm a noobie when it comes to Android. Actually, I will be buying my phone only tonight. I have been researching some apps, and I have become a little concerned about security. Using the Permission tab in the Android Market place to see what the app is up to, has raised some red flags. For example Winamp is accessing phone state/identity and sensitive logs. An other app was accessing the contact list. These apps have no reason to be touching that part of my phone, but yet they are. A music app does not need to know my phone's ESN. If the app needs to profile me, then I should have an account and log in.

:confused: Am I being paranoid or does any one else share these concerns? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Dirk:
You are absolutely right to be paranoid and kudos to you for actually checking the permissions page. If something raises a red flag with you then don't touch it. Even if the dev isn't hell bent on stealing your secrets, it will send a message that people don't want every app to have unlimited access to everything that's on their devices.

Security is starting to become an issue with Android so clearly people need to be paying attention to what they are installing.
