[Wildfire Themes and Apps] atomicmak:
I am using wildfire and installed mytrac and GPS Essential apps.

The question is i used to travel in a desert and some national parks where there is no road. Now the thing is that i want to trac my own setps and as i do travel around 50 to 100 km while roaming in such places i wanted to come back on same route.

i have got hard time finding an app that can give facility to route back to the recorded track.

can anyone help plz ?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Haanrii:
isn't my tracks just the right app for that purpose? cardio trainer has that track recording too. Be sure to have spare battery on you when doing such long trips with wf gps enabled, would be bad when you run out of battery ;)

Hello!

I bought my SGS2 from Three. It's layered in crapware which I would to remove. The problem is that it won't let me delete the apps?

Many thanks for any hint!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crucio_:
i've been using an app called titanium backup, this allows you to see the programs that are installed but dont show up in the normal program manager.

This program does require that your phone be rooted, so you might want to look in to that if you havent already.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guv69:
I bought a Tab P1010 a fortnight ago. Generally been happy with it, but I've noticed something thats begining to annoy.

Just prior to going into standby, the backlight level drops slightly before going off. That seems to be the normal way things work.

However, on mine, the level goes to that stage randomly. Touching the screen may bring it back up after 5 seconds or so, but not straight away. And it happens even when I'm scrolling the screen and there has been activity going on.

Any idea?

Or have I got a return on my hands?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingoo12:
do you have "auto" set on your brightness?

I find when i have brightness set to auto it can go duller or brighter seemingly at random (particularly irritating if im reading)

i mostly manage my brightness level myself

Dont know if this is related to your issue ... good luck
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guv69:
lol I feel such a fool!

I was fully aware of the auto back light setting and had already set it to the unchecked.

However at the weekend, I did a full factory reset. All settings had gone. However, it does show up how useless that setting is as the changes seem very random!

Cheers for the reminder.

[Nook Color General] Animec:
Hi!

Just wondering if it's possible to adjust brightness in CM7 on the nook by sliding over the notification bar when it's in tablet mode. Tbh I've never gotten this mythical feature to work, ever, but it'd be nice to know if the fault lies with my fingers or if it's simply not possible :)

If you know of any other way to quickly and easily adjust brightness on a sliding scale, pref. in a widget, please let me know. It's one of the features I miss most from honeycomb.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I never heard of that feature, but I use the Brightness Level widget by CurveFish. It doesn't put a slider right on the screen, but tapping the widget brings up a slider with some presets. Elixir is a great general utility app that also has a brightness widget, but I prefer CurveFish's because it shows the level in % on the widget at all times.
[Nook Color General] Cheese Masterj:
Recent Plus! will also work. Long press on the 'n' and it brings up all your recent apps plus sliders for volume and brightness. It's a really useful app
[Nook Color General] john10101:
I second recent plus. really great if you remap your volume buttons as well

I've been on MIUI for galaxy s for a few days now

It's killing my bat which was already rubbish but I really love it,

Of course I wouldn't be posting if I didn't have questions...

1) Is there no video call function??

I video call alot, and my wife doesn't have a smart phone to be able to use an app for this.

2) I love the samsung stock camera for it's cartoon and panoramic modes. Does TWizz app support mean the stock cam could be ported? Otherwise, are there alternative apps that do cartoon and panoramic photos?

2. Search it from market as far as I remember there should be an app for that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groynk:

Is video calling just not popular?

Maybe my network is unique in charging the same as voice minutes.

ahh It's really tearing me, having to choose whether to go back to samsung roms...

I might try cm7 or even sense to see if they are as nice as MIUI
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MultiMartin:
Just posted this in the Desire HD forum but I was hoping you might be able to help here...

I couple of days ago I installed the official RRU for Gingerbread but found it had too many issues with Wifi so I temp rooted it and downgraded it back to stock 2.2.

However I have been having serious issues with downloading apps off the Market since then. Whenever I try to do this I just get a 'Download was unsuccessful. Please try again' error message. I have tried to wipe the market, market updater and download manager cache but this does not fix the issue. I've also tried factory resets and that hasn't solved the issue either. The issue occurs on both Wifi and 3G. Strangely I can still install apps using the Market website (http://market.android.com).

I thought it may be an issue with the phone but after a factory reset I signed up to a new Google Account and I can download apps fine with that. However, I need to use my main Google Account as it has all of my contacts and app purchases on there.

Any help with sorting this out would be greatfully appreciated as it's becoming really frustrating for me.

:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cryogen:
I use Froyo. So in Froyo you have to go to:

And from there you just have to press the button " Clear data "

That is the fix for the Android Market " Download was unsuccessful "
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dr.Galaxy.:
Hello people, this is my first thread here on xda.

My phone is running on rom 2.3.3 Tweaky Rom. It's a nice rom.

I like the crt animation [screen off], but the sound of it is so basic and u can't even choose another one. So I decided to make my own sound.

install:

The sound is in the zip file Lock.zip, just unzip it and put in into your phone sd card.

It's an .ogg file. You need to have root explorer.

Go to root explorer>sdcard>copy the Lock.ogg file and go to system>media>audio>ui paste it right there ;)

hope you guys like it :)!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmclardy:
Hi all. Wondered if im the only one with this issue...?

Basically, i have dust on the inside of the rear camera lense cover. The TF isnt that old, so if its like this now, god knows what its going to be like in a few months.

See attached pic.

Tried contacting Asus on Twitter, but they just ignore me :(

wonder if that cover will come off to clean it?

Ross.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
You're not the only one with this issue. I looked at mine a few weeks ago and there wasnt a problem but I've looked again today and there's clearly bits of something under the glass/plastic covering. Looks like it might have surfaced due to static or something. I also have the right speaker louder than the left issue. I'll wait a bit til the supply problems are sorted and then RMA it. You won't get a reply on twitter or facebook or anywhere else that isnt a designated support place. I honestly dont see why you're surprised by this. You will have to go via their website or use the right support number for your country and ring them up. Much less hassle via the site though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
Yeah, mine has dust too. Funny because I just noticed it last night. I don't think that it affects the photos, but I'm not sure if it came that way or is building up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
non here after 2 weeks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmclardy:
I would have thought they could have at least DM'd me and said "sorry your having probs, please call xxxxxxx number to discuss". Im in the UK, and have contacted both asus and asus uk.

any comunication methods seem to be failing them, no contact about dosk payments, shipment dates etc. its a fantastic device, let down by niggles like this.

dont want to be sending back yet as probably wont get one in return for ages.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reverence12389:
I just checked on mine and I notice one decently large spec of dust underneath already. Yet another issue to add to the list of ongoing issues :\ I'm debating whether I should just return it to Walmart and wait to order another down the road when they are having better quality control.....or if I should just wait an RMA it. I just hope that they will provide an RMA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Yeah, but once they reply to one person, everyone then expects a reply, and they wont have the man-power for that. If people use the proper support avenues then they can manage their work force properly. Otherwise before long it's 10,000 pissed off people rather than 1, for almost no reason.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flindil:

[Xoom General] gogol:
So, apparently, it is still not supported and Google has no solution

yet

[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Is it me or does that say nothing still?

Google says they don't want to give you a file browser / file explorer / file manager.

Fine - there's plenty of third party apps to that on the market - but why not fix the SD card slot support? :P

Although I agree that some of the structure stuff is a bit of a mess - there's lots of random folders created on the SD card, like .android_secure, .bookmark_thumb etc. that you probably don't want end users seeing.
[Xoom General] poisike:
At least now it's clear that it's Google who has to fix the SD Card issue and not Motorola.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I honestly didn't read that at all...?

I read that google were working on some sort of file manager, not SD card? am I misreading it? as far as I can see file manager, and SD card are separate issues?

also the transformer, and custom kernels have the sd card slot working, so not sure who is at fault for the xoom :confused:
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Why is there a difference between the tablet and the phones?

I have access to the SD Card and file system there.

Not like every Windows user on the planet has never seen "My Computer". Organizing files is not some obscure concept that is to high level for users.
[Xoom General] gogol:
From what I can understand:

USB file system means the OS access the usb disk in block level which the app (file browser) will have access to the full path of the file.

The one that is supported by Honeycomb right now is MTP. This is totally different compared to USB. The actual file system is implemented by the device, not by the computer's operating system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol

My prediction, this USB thing will be solved by the upcoming ICE CREAM SANDWICH.

Because by then, phone and tablet are merged ... everything which is supported by phone (like SD card) must be supported by tablet.

So, yeah, we must wait till end of this year or early next year (worse case).

Still, it is too long for Motorola with their "promise", no?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
@Kcarpenter

Very true - but I think the problem may lie with the Xoom using the MTP instead?

or is that a load of rubbish? :)

Eitherway, I guess from the Google point of view - they want it simple and try and hide the stuff they don't want n00bs messing with (a bit like Apple hide everything too so all their iOS are n00b proof!)

Also Phones open up to mass storage straight to the card - you don't get access to the internal memory at all. Whereas with the Xoom you would want access to that because there's loads of space there :)
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
What about just fixing the kernel like timat's - that'd do the same job for now :D
[Xoom General] 911junkie:
Still don't understand why they would slack on getting the SD card implemented. They have so much riding on honeycomb success. And the LTE radio needs to get installed too. Time to ramp it up.
[Xoom General] mwaychoff:
I agree they should be able to enable it considering one of our own has already done so with a custom a kernel, I still love my xoom though!
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
agree completely.

and the LTE thing is running on awhile now - didnt someone say that the samsung tab 10.1 might beat Xoom to be the first LTE HC tab if Moto don't buck up?
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
Who needs google when you have bigrushdog? ;)
[Xoom General] CyberChulo:
Just did the 3.1 update and SD card slot still doesn't work. I thought it would've fixed this.
[Xoom General] SlCKB0Y:
Yea, I read that article yesterday. It has NOTHING to do with the sdcard support.

Google was explaining why android in general has a fairly chaotic/unintuitive filesystem structure... NOT why they haven't biuld in support for SD.
[Xoom General] bigeasy911:
it was well known this update was not addressing the sd slot. No wjere not one single ppace has google or moto saidnthe sd lotbwil not be active by the deadline they stated. They could give us slot access right now but the issue is as has been aluded to they would either have to give full file sys access or no file access like the phones. For those that will say it doesn't matter give us access. It matters to them as they will be creating huge issues with tech support by the much larger majority of users that would delete things that would kill or hamper the device. I mean even on here you have tons of people that can't follow clear simple directons to flash an update without screwing it up some how. Can you imagine Suzzy home maker or joe the guy who can not figure out how to do a windows update would do with full access. My guess is they will be doing a update with a file manager and permision set so nothing past the sdcard parent folder can be accessed and programs installed will have premissions set to prevent accidental delete without going into the file manger settings to change them to allow change of permisions.

This will solve both the issues and allow both sd card and internal storage access without opening up the core files to tinkering by BDUs
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
So I just installed "the impossible game" on my brand new SGS2 and discovered there's some banding on the gradient in this game, which was not here with my Nexus One (AMOLED).

Has anyone else noticed that ? do you think it can be fixed later on (I know supercurio did some work on the first SGS's rendering) ?

edit : I'm only talking about the horizontal banding (the circular moiré is caused by the glass and visible only on the camera). Also I tried changing the brightness and background rendering but nothing helped.
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
So I'm the only one experiencing that ? o_O

I hope my phone is not faulty because I've already rooted it so I guess I can't return it anymore :-/
[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
not got that app i'm afraid...if it was just you then you can always flash back to the standard o2 sortware, removing the root. then using a jig remove the custom binary count...thus restoring your warranty :-)

[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
Try checking the loading screen for the XDA app. It should be a nice gradient of brown but I remember it was HEAVILY banded on the Atrix.

Roger should chime in with more info on this =)
[Galaxy S II General] murklor:
No need to use an app to test:

http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php

I find it hard to believe that they've gone through all that to make the best display in the field and then limited it to 16bit colors (I believe super amoled has 24bit?)
[Galaxy S II General] LarcusMywood:
Phew, it's not just me! The two things I'm disappointed with on this phone are the screen issues and the battery life. Other than that, it's incredible.

Let's hope for major firmware upgrades and dev support!
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Thanx for the link. And of course we don't need to test on an app, I just happened to notice on this particular game, and thought it was best to avoid comparing with the browser or gallery since they could be faulty themselves (the gallery used to cause banding on the Nexus One).

I really hope it can be fixed later... I keep reading the screen is fantastic, but it doesn't look so good now (maybe it's better than pentile Matrix though)
[Galaxy S II General] LawAce:
I don't have a SGSII but you are certainly not alone, I've read a lot about this banding issue - remember reading somewhere about the possibility that it may infact be 16bit at the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
heh well i'll give my unofficial opinion is that your nexus one is running the latest 2.3.3 GB which fixed the nexus one's 16 bit color banding issue. did that game show banding on your nexus one last year?

anyway my opinion theory is the super amoled plus screen is still not 24 bit color yet, probably only 16 bit like the n1 was. i cant prove this though, so take as you wish.

the nexus one on the XDA app, the spalsh screen showed lots of banding for all last year. after the 2.3.3 update the banding is finally gone on the nexus one. and google admitted that the 2.3.3 update finally brought the n1 up from 16 bit color.

so my guess is the new amoled+ wasnt finalized yet, like the n1 originally, so the SGS2 is only 16 bit color in its current firmware version.
[Galaxy S II General] flooki:
Very disappointing, I'll stay away from the phone for now and I hope they'll fix this as soon as possible! I feared that something like this would happen when I saw the GLBenchmark data (or something like that, which stated that it's 16-bit anyway). Good to hear that the N1 had the same problem and it got fixed, though!
[Galaxy S II General] LarcusMywood:
It really isn't that noticeable, you can't see it under normal use when you're holding the phone at a normal distance.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Totally liveable in the short run knowing that it will get fixed. From the speed and quantity of updates, I'm guessing Samsung's trying to repair the black eye they got for pretty much ignoring the SGS.
[Galaxy S II General] Raymond77:
I disagree, it's very noticeable when you have any image that has a gradient. Every time I load up the XDA app, or fire up Stupid Zombies, it's right there plain as day.

Very annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
yeah. it's plain obvious. for that game, i have to set the quality to low, so that the banding disappears
[Galaxy S II General] alexcarterkarsus:
omg, you got to be kidding me... even my android-loaded HD2, which is definitely suffering from a hardware limit of 65536 colors, shows less banding, much less shall I say, than this supposedly 16M colored monster?? :-(
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
this issue wouldnt stop me from keeping the SGS2. but there were lots of specific test images used on the nexus one to highlight the issue.

in fact here is the article with test images you guys can try on your SGS2. at the time of this article, the pentile pixel matrix was the highlight. but a year later the 2.3.3 update kinda proved that the banding was NOT related to the pixels, since its totally fixed now.

interesting read nonetheless.

http://www.displaymate.com/Nexus_One_ShootOut.htm
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
After testing a bit more, the photo I took in the first post is THE most obvious case of banding I could find. The gradient in xda, or the one at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php are not perfect, but they don't look THAT bad.

edit : And yeah, it's not enough for me to return the phone, and I'd buy it again knowing that, but it's still annoying, especially since they insisted so much on the quality of the SAMOLED+ screen.
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
It's purely a software bug. I'm almost certain the physical display can handle these gradients.

On my Nexus One/S if I view that sunset on mars photo in the stock android gallery I get all that banding. If I use another gallery like QuickPic, no banding at all.

It's a similar bug when setting home page wallpapers. You get quite a bit of banding doing it the stock way, but using wallpaper set & save to set the background eliminates banding.
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
It's not the screen, it's the rom, the browser is set/capped to 16 bits. The gallery however actually displays in 24 bits.

This issue can be fixed with a custom rom, it's probably set to 16 bits to allow smoother web browsing, which is totally stupid because the processor is totally capable of handling smooth browsing with 24 bits display.
[Galaxy S II General] amtrakcn:
There is color cap in WP7, currently with some tweak my Focus does display 24bit color in Pictures hub but 16bit in any browser related app. You people may want to try more.
