I actually had myn's warm 2.2 rls4 prior to updating to the most current RLS5. But when I updated to the rls5 file it first asks you to check off what add ons you want to download also with the ROM (ex) Hulu, web browser speed up, boot animations,kernals... so i checked off all the ones I wanted and installed the rom. I was trying to find the zip file of the web browser speed enhancer and have no clue where to find these files that i downloaded with the ROM. I appreciate all the responses. thank u
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I am assuming you used the warm updater to update to RLS5. If so, that'll explain why those of us who wipe and flash via recovery haven't noticed the things yo mentioned during installation. As for the speed enhancement for the browser, it us referring to the spare parts app that was cooked into RLS5. Its host file is outdated thus the reason for the slow internet speed. Simply download and install the Spare Parts app from the market and when you initiate the app, either select "revert" for ads or "update hosts" for no ads and then reboot.

thank you so much for the help... :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Doug, just so there's no confusion, I believe you meant to say the 'ad-free' app, to download and then hit revert, to take care of the hosts file issue:p

I know this has been discussed some, but i can't seem to find a solution. This is a great phone, but the gps really makes me mad.

My OG Droid and inc would get a position lock pretty fast. about 15 seconds. the thunderbolt on the other hand sucks... Never have i even seen before the shrinking (or sometimes not) circle around your position arrow in google maps.

This is a big deal to me because i use the gps as the main navi in my truck, i assume lots of others do too. I also use it for marking fishing spots so pinpoint accuracy is a must.

I know and for those who don't, you can download GPS status and see the fix its getting and also reset or update your GPS. This kind of works for a while, but still doesn't get the most accurate fix (but ok for driving) and is a PITA. Also takes a minute.

I have a feeling this is software/radio related, and hopefully can be fixed. But just a hunch as i know nothing about the matter.

Anyone have any other ideas??
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
I should add i just got 12/12 in gps status. not too bad. and maybe the circle around the position arrow was MAYBE just added in a new version of maps. but still it takes multiple trys when i hit navigate to find my position.
[Thunderbolt General] magnafides:
GPS is awful on both my and my wife's Thunderbolts too. Can't get a lock standing outside even after 5 minutes; completely unusable. And, we shouldn't have to download another (non-official) app just to get GPS to work.
[Thunderbolt General] ntguru:
Glad it's not just me. My GPS takes forever to lock (has taken up to 10min before).
[Thunderbolt General] jadsru1:
my pgs sucks as well. I didn't use it much before rooting and flashing roms, so I can't really compare pre and post ROM flashing. Either way, it sucks, can't lock on my location, it get "waiting on location" then "location unavailbale at this time". However, it seems to work when I on pgs navigation after waiting for a while. Hopefully we can get a fix for this soon.
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
i didnt try GPS much before root either. Don't think that would make a difference. I was on the stock rom just until yesterday and was having the same problems with it.

BUMP
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
I'm having the same issues. I love my phone but this is very aggravating. I would like to know if this is just isolated to a few of us( ie our particular phones are defective) or is the a phone wide issue.
[Thunderbolt General] monkeypuncher21:
GPS issues..

I've been having the same issues with GPS. I posted about this in another thread but i'll post again.

I get three different locations from three different apps using GPS. Google maps is off by a few blocks, but at least it shows me in downtown houston (my actual location). My time widget pulls the time based on location, and currently, its somewhere near a lake in Russia right above mongolia. Foursquare thinks i'm on the coast of Lithuania and gives me locations in that area to check into.

I called VZ tech help and breezed through to the L2 support. The lady put me on hold to grab a thunderbolt phone to help me troubleshoot. When she came back on the line, she said her google maps was showing her location as blocks away from where she really too!!

Long story short - she gave me a call back later that day and said HTC is aware of the problem and is currently working on a fix for the issue , but gave no timeframe for when it would be fixed
[Thunderbolt General] marvinmadman:
My thunderbolt is fine. Just did a maps test and it found me in about 10s. I have two thunderbolts and the other one took about 1 minute to lock. Both tests were done from inside my house.
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
having the same problem with my gps...im going head to a verizon store today!
[Thunderbolt General] :
"non official"

you shouldn't be on this forum, if you don't like "non official" stuff, btw if you use GPS status you can clear the cache, and download the assistance data. maybe that'll help you guys
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
Mine gets a lock indoors, away from all windows, under 2 minutes. Not the most accurate, 60ft, 6 satellites. But hey I'm in the frikkin house. Outdoors I get a lock instantly. 12+ satellites.
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
Gps status helps, but doesn't fix it. So chill dude.

But I just downloaded das bamf 1.3.1 and now its working like normal! In the change log it says edited some gps settings in the build prop!
[Thunderbolt General] Varelse:
Damn my gps doesn't work at all...

Das bamf 1.3.1
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
Sucks. I assume you tried updating thru gps status? Maybe it will work after awhile or a reboot.

Anyways since mine works good now I am at ease cause I know its not HW. I'm sure there will be a patch one of these days.
[Thunderbolt General] cashmore1985:
I am using Das Bamf 1.3.1 and have no gps problems
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
Running Das BAMF 1.3.2. No problems at all with GPS, indoors, outdoors, or in car -- pre- and- post-root.
[Thunderbolt General] Stevez48:
Dumb question, but where do I find this option?
[Thunderbolt General] pliablemoose:
So it's just not me, mine takes minutes to lock on, after that it's no problem, but that initial lock is a PITA, 3-5 min...
[Thunderbolt General] BzBz:
I've also noticed subpar gps performance compared to my incredible from the first day I got the phone.

The Gps status app seems to have helped and the time to get a lock has improved even more with bamf 1.3.2. Even still it doesn't seem to get a lock as quick as I was used to with my incredible. Takes anywhere from 30s to 2min, but on the lower end of that.

Would still like to see this addressed by HTC/vzw. I'm sure there's other people out there having this issue and I know they can do better.

I am currently running kings unleashed ultra black and I want to flash the gravity on ice theme but when I try to flash the icons it says unable to find update script is there another way to do this??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I can't speak for that icon pack specifically, but when I used koni's elite icon pack, with elite II, it wasn't flashable zip. I had to put it on my sd card, and then use Desktop Visualizer to apply the icons (which is super easy btw). As I said, I can't say if it's the same for the icon pack you're trying to use, but I'd bet it is the same. I'd try that.

EDIT: If you do want to check if it's a flashable zip, you can open it up and see if there is a META-INF file in there. If there is, it is flashable. If there is not, it's not flashable. I'm guessing it's not.
[Android Software Development] pemdas21:
I am developing an android app that utilizes a TabHost and tabwidget. When I run the app on my virtual phone (target 1.6) the tabs show up fine (visually) and act just fine.

When I run it on my android phone (version 2.2) the tabs seem to disappear; leaving only the text behind. It is almost as though the pictures of the tabs can't be found and are replaced with black.

Edit:

for some reason xda thinks that I am trying to submit a link and denies me from posting the xml... I'll edit this once I figure out how to post the xml with the corresponding view.

Hi to everyone.

First of all, thanks to let me join the forum.

I am new on all the android thing, so sorry if this question is out of place.

I was wondering if anybody know if once a have root access I can get the unlock code for my phone. I know that I can buy it for 30 or 40 US dollars, but I want to try by myself, I know that I need to read a lot. So I only need to know if this is possible. Thanks in advance.

Regards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Neptunian:
I heard its not possible to get you phone unlocked by rootin it but you may find some apps which working in a rooted device to unlock it!!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] d-link300:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] d-link300:
I could not find any application that were able to do the task, I will continue searching and waiting until somebody, release the solution.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] d-link300:
Well after several months trying to find I solutions for unlocked my nuvifone, I decide to pay for get the unlock code.

I only have a question, I read on the pages that offer the unlock codes that if the phone is rooted, the code will not work, Does any one know if this is true?:confused::confused::confused:

It sounds weird to me, but better ask to make a mistake.

Best Regards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markmh01:
hi i'm having some difficulty too. i downloaded the superone click app and went through the stages ie unmount the sd card etc, and at the end of installation a message came up that said i have been successfull in rooting my phone ( garmin a50 ). so the superuser icon appeared in the app draw and all looked good. i then downloaded and installed root uninstaller as well as set cpu. i managed to delete system apps and use the set cpu to adjust my speeds. but that's all, every other app that requires root access does not work and they all state that my device is not rooted. and busy box wont install. i also downloaded root checker and tested it and it also said my phone was not rooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spazmogen:
z4root works just fine on the A50 (aka: Garminfone)

Root uninstaller will NOT remove most apps.

You can remove them manually.

Facebook, twitter, visual voice mail etc. can reside in a few different spots and will come back if not removed from all of them.

/Carrier/persist-app

/data/app

/system/app

and

/system/carrier/persist-app

You may find some of these files across different locations. facebook is in at least 2 or 3 of them.

those are the locations to manually go in and remove the bloatware from. Careful: it is immediate. only remove the bloatware, leave everything else or you can brick the phone and have to recover using the D-pad left to Wipe UserData trick to restore it.

1. Give your G-shock a shock.

2. Dump the G-shock and wear a g-string instead.

3. Put the g-string (thong) on your guitar instead of a nylon/steel string, and run around screaming: "I'm a playa!" Do power chords and lick the D-string and/or B-string and tell people you are playing around beside the G-string.

4. Call your guitar a girl name, and do a walking line from the high frets to the lower sounds. Say "I'm going low on [guitar name]'s G-string.

5. Play agressively and break the G-string. Say "I played her too hard man... I broke her G-string and now I have buy a new one. Which shop do you think I should go? Should I take her too?"

6. Wear a trench coat, walk into the subway/workplace/school and scream "I'm gonna show you my nylon/steel G-string, biatches!" Take the G-string (nylon/steel based on guitar type) and show the biatches what you are gonna put on your guitar.

And last, but not least:

7. Finger A minor on the G-string.

Hi,

currently it's only possible with hardware unlocking tools like XTC clips.

But the software update for this unlocking device which is needed to be able to unlock the IS hasn't been publicly released yet. Only some testers got the update and posted their success.

I don't know of any other tool that can unlock the IS at the moment.

If someone knows of another piece of hardware (except riff/jtag where you need to disassemble your IS) that can do that already, please post ;)
[HTC Incredible S] raskal:
there is no tool to turn off security except XTC clip but i did not tested it on a simlocked phone, if some have got a simlocked IS please PM me

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
even XTC clip can't do it at the moment because you haven't released the update ;)

why not be a bit more "transparent" and let the community help. Release it as a beta with a use at your own risk warning..

Some people with sim locked phones will try it, post their success/failure and you would know if it worked or not.
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
When xtc clip supports IS I will buy one, beta or full version.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
IF there's still no software root available when the XTC Clip update finally is available, I'll also buy one.

Switching to the IS from a rooted device, it feels so uncomfortable to suddenly being not able to use many features you were used to for so long..

You don´t need 50 succeded unlocked htc phones videos to proof that ur device is working, just release the update of ´`offing´` the incredible s and desire s b4 other tools do, then u will have more customers, we all read all the forums around and know what this tool can do and what not, so my advice is to release ´`at least as beta´`, and u will se how many will buy and test, that is not god for u and for the xtc as a product to release, when other solutions are released and tested, no sense for a paid product to release updates, when free solutions are storming here and there, even if they r more difficult to apply than the paid xtc-clip one.

Just some thoughts on the dock thing - -

I have one of the slacker radio docks and it works fine but that one , like the one above, work only without a case. Using the Otterbox impact case, it wasn't a big deal to take the case on and off to use the dock. I use the Commuter and Defender case now and they are a PITA to take off and put on. As a result, I find myself not using the dock as much anymore.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris9446:
So I've been around for a little while and I basically flashed my phone with a custom rom the day after I got it.

I've had cyanogen and redux and miui.

What rom would you say is the most stable and has the longest battery life?

I'm also wondering the advantages to s-off and if I really need it.

Also I have no idea how to do that sd card partition thing for app2sd?

I did something that invloved partitioning using ROM Manager.

Thanks, in advance <3
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraize1:
Hello Chris9446

I've just tried CM7 and MIUI (1.4.1) so I can't say anything to Redux.

Both of them are experimental so in both of them are bugs. I think the battery lasts longer with CM7 (if you don't use it just 2% per an hour). And CM7 is more stable I think, but he have to wait for a stable release.

If you have S-OFF you can change the partition table that means that you can change the size of your system, cache and data table.

You don't really need it but it's helpful if you want more memory for your apps.

Here are two threads with a How-To and more about S-OFF:

[TUTORIAL] How to S-OFF your HTC Desire

[AlphaRev] HBOOT S-OFF Desire GSM 1.8

Here's a Tutorial: [Video Tutorial] Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide [Video Tutorial] just go to step five there's a video how to Partitioning Your Sd Card With Gparted.

It's also possible with ROM Manager go to "Partition SD Card" then you have to choose the size and click okay.

I hope that I could help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomrat:
One of the advantages of S-off is it lets you make changes to the /system folder without needing to go into recovery.

Quite useful sometimes ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beleidat:
Personally, Redux is the best I have used. Good battery life, stable as anything. I have never had random reboots or any problems with it.

I used s-off primarilly to change my splash screen as I got really sick of the Telstra one and wanted to add my contact details in case the phone was lost.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Agreed - just use root explorer or Ti backup to permanently delete any stick apps you don't want, then go right back to surfing or messaging!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris9446:
Thanks for the reply, guys!

I think I'll try doing the s-off thing tomorrow. I've got a mac so it might be hard lol.

Cyanogen CM7 RC4 has been pretty good to me... a few random reboots but nothing too annoying at the cost of the features.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alsajosora:
Hi Chris,

one of the biggest advantages I have found using S-Off is (as mentioned above) changing the partition layout on your HBOOT. ATM I am running OxygeN 2.0.0.3 and using the CM7 HBOOT. I have all my apps installed and am still left with 200mb of free INTERNAL memory. Internal NAND memory is faster than SDCARD memory and (apparently) uses less juice so is easier on your battery!!!!

Is Gingerbread that Important. I am reading on many sites that the update is pegged for April end. As far as I know I don't think these will be major change with this update.. pls let me know if I am wrong. Is this update that Important
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
Not really.

There are some "nice to haves" in gingerbread - and it gives HTC a chance to fix the bugs in the updates they've pushed out (such as the hella annoying SMS issue).

I'm running a GB ROM now and I am much happier with it than the Froyo ROMs - even if it is a leak.

My SonyEricsson LiveView works much, much better in Gingerbread than it did in Froyo. No more SMS issues either.

I just wish that someone was clever enough to hack CIFS support into the kernel as that's really the only thing I miss about Froyo - but I guess with a leaked ROM that's a bit tough!
