My initial GPS locks were incredibly slow

Initially the first few locks were slow, but now it's not a problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdec17:
Mine is very fast.. just about as fast as my Garmin
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
Mine locks within seconds in my house, pretty much immediately outside.

In addition to having your GPS powered on, make sure you have Google and VZW location services enabled.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaddix2:
Immediately
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipmonger:
Ah-HA! That did the trick... thank you!! :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadFoodScientist:
Very quick!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
No problem.

As I understand it:

Standalone GPS = The actual GPS antenna.

VZW location services = Uses verizon towers to get a general location

Google location services = Uses wireless networks to get a general location (more accurate than VZW services).

Once the general location is obtained, it can get a GPS lock quickly.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goyjuss:
First time making a new thread and I have been on these forums for a while. Mostly because anything I could possibly need to do for my phone has already been posted.

I am having issues with my new Dell Streak. I got this unit as a replacement for an older one that ended up with a cracked screen (Best Buy lost it in the repair process (long story)). My old Streak I was able to flash just fine, this one no such luck. I have tried StreakMod Recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery, as well as the MultiRecoverFlasher, and finally the stock recovery image. It seems every custom recovery I flash ends up giving me a blank screen. The only one I have successfully flashed is the stock recovery image.

Any ideas?

Again, I have done this before, successfully! So I know how the process with fasboot works.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truaim:
How did you go about flashing these recoveries? Did you fastboot to 'push' a recovery, or did you try Rom Manager'ing them?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goyjuss:
On my previous Streak I had used the simple fastboot method.

Using Windows cmd I did:

fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot.exe -i 0x413c reboot

I used StreakMod on that one.

I am trying to do the same on this new Streak with all possible custom recover.img but none of them seem to be working. I keep getting the blank screen.

I am already on boost mobile with my touch pro bit now I want a custom Tom. I have downloaded the energyrom latest off ppcgeeks and know how to flash but will I lose settings and service with boost. Like I said I already have service and works fine but want that custom feel energy puts into his rom's...
[Touch Pro CDMA] momulah:
Over 60 views and not one reply. I knew the thread was thinning out but is there anyone with a boost sprint touch pro that flash different Tom's without issues...Guess I could flash then update prl but if it doesn't work I just messed up my girls phone...She wouldn't take that very well but she does want it....

Guys, been searching for a while for an app for this championship with no luck. Not looking for half the bloatware thats on the WRC official app, just something to relay i.e stage times, starting order, team news, driver profiles that type of stuff. Any help appreciated. And if anyone knows of anything for the Irish Rally market let me know ;)
[Focus Accessories] Khegobier:
Checking to see if anyone knows of or has a source (other than eBay) for screen replacements for the focus. I've got a badly cracked screen that I'd like to replace, but samsung direct wants $156 and the cheapest on ebay is $98.xx coming from overseas. Everyone I found via google is in the $120's give or take now as well.

Kindof kicking myself for not picking one up when I had the 10% off ebay coupon and there were US sources at $98.

How easy is to repair? where did you bought the screens? I have a burned pixel :( and I want to change the screen
[Focus Accessories] hapa papa:
I'd like to know where you got the screens too.
[Focus Accessories] magnumrt562:
www.wholesalegadgetparts.com, US wholesaler, $99.00 bucks, BBB rated etc... I just ordered one.
[Focus Accessories] magnumrt562:
******** UPDATE, this seller is legit. Fast shipping, and the new digitizer/screen is flawless.
[Focus Accessories] wildbilll:
How about some info on disassembly and replacement?
[Focus Accessories] sun-snow:
So, if your 2 year old is like mine, he's quite efficient at shattering your phone's screen. SO, I went online and found a replacement screen and set sbout installing it myself. I make no claim at any sort of electrical know-how... Damn it Jim, I'm a med student not an electrician. But I do enjoy my gadgets. Anyway, I went online and found some you-tube videos and successfully changed out the screen! Woo-Hoo! I used a hybrid of the two videos as one of them seemed a little too, much but it had a good rebuild sequence.

The first video has a good description of how to remove the screen (I didn't use the hair dryier and it worked just fine), and the second shows how to put it back. The second video should also be good to show how to replace other thinsg (camera, etc.).

I have a cracked glass, the LCD and digitizer are fine. I have found someone that sells the outer glass for $16. My question is if I can get the digitizer off the old glass and onto the new one.

I honestly don't want to spend $100 on a screen replacement when I can buy a slightly used one for $150...
[Focus Accessories] mywhiteside:

On ebay is 12dlls the glass, somebody told me that they fix it in a mall were i am from (Mexico) they heat the screen to disolve the glue but i'm not sure about this. The total of the price should be like 35dlls the replacement.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aimsforu:
I am newbie here, and planning for new android phone.

One of my friend got X10 without Android from India for few bucks less, shopkeeper said he can come again anytime to load the OS (which will be chargeable-same amount he deducted while buying). He was using his phone very well without android, unfortunately lost his phone. I really don't know what OS it was there on phone (stock or other).

My question is

1. Is it possible to get a phone without android, and if yes then what will be the OS on that?

2. Is it possible to flash/load Android (suitable to that specific device) on such device by our self?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] burtcom:
I think your friend got one of the infamous counterfeit phones.

Perhaps it had the Chinese ripoff version of Android on it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lortay78:
So, I am coming from a DX, where The Devs usually put in the instructions whether a wipe of data/cache is necessary. I am wondering if they are always necessary? I wanted to try the new 4dlte over the top of the existing debloated rom for thunderbolt for example. Should I always wipe?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipmonger:
I always wipe before I flush.

Heh. :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malevolentbratchny:
To the best of my knowledge, It's typically a good idea to wipe before flashing. The only time you wouldn't wipe is when flashing an updated version of the rom. Admittedly, I'm not the most educated on the flashing roms, but have enough experience to be dangerous. I don't own a Thunderbolt, but flashing processes are generally similar throughout. Hope I helped, or at least get the thread bumped enough for someone to see and help.

[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

Free paid app every day. Today's app is Angry Birds Rio.

if you want to have access you have to be rooted with side loading enabled.

I wonder if Amazon has the clout to make At&T end their stupid no side loading policy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Nice find. Always look forward to new levels of Angry Birds. Gonna be a lot of frustrated ATT customers when they find out they can't use the Amazon App Store.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Rio is an angry birds game, but it's not a level pack in the sense that the Seasons levels are.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BradleyH007:
You don't have to be rooted, you just have to take extra steps. ;)

First, sideload the Amazon Appstore .apk.

Then, use the Amazon AppStore to purchase an app (or download a free one). The install from inside of the AppStore will fail.

Then, find the .apk in the cache and sideload it.

I just installed Angry Birds Rio on my stock, non-rooted Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
The average user isn't going to do that though. AT&T shouldn't restrict app loading, period.

Also you will have to do this every time an app updates. MEH
[HTC Inspire 4G] BradleyH007:
I absolutely agree. This is just the convoluted way for Angry Birds fans to get their latest fix (for free, no less)... :D

And if it teaches just one more person how to Sideload... :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
this is great!
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
Downloaded the app to my inspire and now have a direct link to the app store all the time. Some advantages to being rooted, AT&T cannot tell me what I can load on my phone.Plus I do not have to do a bunch of things to get a app on my phone!!!

Problem Downloading?

I was having issues downloading the Amazon Appstore this morning...so I downloaded the one below...sideloaded it...and then hit the "Upgrade" option once it was installed...worked like a charm!

http://www.filesonic.com/file/319345751
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
I got the App store sideloaded. Downloaded the game (Rio) of course it doesn't install. But then where do I find the game once I plug my Inspire into my computer. Which folder is it under? :confused:

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BradleyH007:
I found mine in \Android\Data\com.amazon.venezia\cache.

The file name does not stand out (on mine, it started with VNZ), but the file has an APK extension and the file date/time should be the time that you completed the download.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
Thanks, I now have Angry Birds Rio!
[HTC Inspire 4G] pachkamil:
This is what AT&T said on their facebook. Its commin.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

data is data. AT&T just needs to push out an OTA update enabling the unknown sources check box.

I love it when companies lie to tech savvy people

Sideload Wonder Machine

[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
It worked just fine for me. Did you click the "Free for a limited time Angry Birds Rio" link?
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkside1904:
Ok, so I got sick of all the BS. I am now rooted, FTW!
[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
OK. For us newbies that haven't rooted yet, can you walk me through that process with a bit more detail?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
All information found previously in this thread:

1. Use Sideloadwonder Machine to install the amazon app store apk (Here - Choose Sideload Wonder Machine for Windows (or Mac/Linux if this applies to you)

2. Open and sign in to the Amazon App Store, and download the .apk. It will fail upon installation, since this is technically sideloading.

The next two steps will probably be easiest to do with Root Explorer (or another file explorer that allows root access)

3. Now find the .apk for the app you just downloaded in Amazon's cache. From a previous post:

4. Copy the .apk, and paste it on your SD Card using whichever file explorer you choose. Once it's copied to your SD card, mount your card as a disk drive, and copy the .apk to your computer.

5. Use the Sideload Wonder Machine to install this .apk

Well my work just got a bunch of iPhones and the CEO got one of the. He had the Samsung before so I got it as an upgrade over my crackberry.

Now I really want to install a custom rom/kernel on the phone but I am hesitating because its really not my phone and my work owns it.

What do you guys think should I stick with stock or should I root the phone and install a rom?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenisiz:
Stock. There's nothing like explaining to the boss how you f'd up company equipment.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirmdroid:
I dont know if one should/should not install custom roms on a work phone, as I don't have one. But I can tell you that if you do decide to root and install one of the custom roms, it's not that hard to unroot and go back to stock later on when you need to return the phone. There are several threads here that will guide you through the process too.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefunkbot:
I seriously discourage doing anything to it. It's not yours for one, and (no disrespect to the devs ofcourse, their work is amazing) there really isnt anything spectacular for this phone at the moment due to samsung's failure to provide any source code. To be more specific... our kernels suck.

And oh yea this shouldve been in the Q&A section so be ready for ashasaur to move this thread. (hes really good at doing that ;))
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daswolven:
Depends on your comfort level, and of course, your corporate policies.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
I would say root your phone at the most. It's fairly easy to recover from just rooting, but flashing roms/kernels/modems is much more risky. At least with rooting, you could fairly easily freeze the bloat with TiBu and have a more functional phone. Thawing everything and un-rooting would have you a stock phone back fairly quickly, and you could also still receive OTA updates as well.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdisbrow:
I say go for it if anything goes wrong all you have to do is odin back to stock it removes everything its as simple as plugging the phone in load the stock file and click start I've done this countless times
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vai1018:
We pick our work cell phones specifically because of the potential customization we can do. I hate being stuck with some company's version of what they think will be useful to me in my job. I can Odin this phone back to stock/factory defaults in less than 5 minutes if need be, so customizing this phone and expanding its abilities, and recovering from those customizations quickly, were what attracted me to it.

Android is Android, whether it's Samsung's stock version or one of the dev's version of it. Your phone is still going to perform the same tasks you need it to for your job. As long as you are both competent with the technologies involved and confident in your ability to restore to stock, I don't see why you should hesitate from exploring the options that are out there, especially when Froyo source drops and we see an explosion of dev-created customizations/enhancements.

Personally for a work phone, I'd update it for better usage in my work.

Increasing battery life usage duration.

Less irritating buggy glitches.

Removing the idiotic TW/BING/VZW craps. (too many add-on hacks from google default causing reliability and dependability problems)

Adding Backup and Restore nandroid for possible failures and migrations.

I suggest DJ05 + SuperClean + Blaze v2.3.1R2.
