[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 101matt101:
I'm not sure it's a problem with your phone, I think it's meant to do that :). I don't know if there's a mod out there to stop it though...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmullen:
It's definitely meant to do that :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neigo:
damn :( then i have to hope that a mod will be released ;)

Turn the phone off?

I think you should request a dev to do that as I think it will never be made as your phone should really do that. I'm not sure if there's even a phone which will not turn on its screen when a sms is received.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
Coming from htc phones all this while..this screen turning on when recieving sms/mms/email is really annoying..hopefully someone can cook something to totally prevent this. I guess samsung designed it thia way due to lack of notification led.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
on my nexus one, the screen will not turn on when an sms is received. but i can turn this option on if i want so that the screen DOES turn on with an sms. its all about choice. maybe you guys could try handcent, and root and remove the stock messaging app to stop this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
i've just noticed that my phone has started doing this too.

i have sms popup installed and the default sms notification is turned off therefore sms popup should handle the sms notifications.

i have "leave the screen switched off" set in sms popup but the screen still turns on.

this is also happening with the exchange client and i think it might have started since KE7 ...

any ideas ?

[HTC Sensation] Beowulf_pt:
This topic has been mentioned in other threads but I figured it could be separated to be easier to read. I'm curious about the precision of the Sensation's GPS as I require a reliable GPS unit (for driving and walking navigation).

It does not need to be able to land a tomahawk missile with 2 meter accuracy but it would be good if it can hold to locks and have good precision. Ideally, please post some tracks obrained with MyTracks or similar software.

Details like TTFF times are irrelevant to me. I don't care about how long it takes to lock and all that... only that it tracks accurately after lock, and holds on to locks (been burned before as you can see from the signature, ahah).
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I'm also very interested in GPS performance. We each have our own special interests, some focus on audio chips, others 1080p recording, or browser flash zooming. I travel a lot so for me a key is GPS.

As much info as you can post regarding lock times (which I do care about), accuracy, and reliability would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
No one is using GPS? You Brits not into traveling? :)
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
GPS is good for me

Been using it in the car quite often in the last 3 days.

Works a treat. Probably about 5-7 seconds to lock, then max 5m accuracy at all times.

before i used my desire (pretty much same as the sensation tbh, couldn't fault the Desire with GPS) and also used my gf's Galaxy s1, omg that phone is SO bad with GPS...sometimes it thought i was on completely different roads. Got me very frustrated...and rerouting took ages on that.

Overall...i can't fault it. Pretty much exactly the same as the desire...which was great
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Thanks very much for the update. Just what I wanted to hear. Your description of the SGS is all too familiar. Really looking forward to getting my hands on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Phil750123:
While iv not used the navigation, ive used google maps abit playing around etc.. and seems to be very accurate - more then my old desire anyway and i thought that was good !
[HTC Sensation] Beowulf_pt:
From the reviews I see on the net, it seems no one uses GPS anymore, at least not on phones. Most reviewers don't even bother to dedicate a single paragraph to GPS performance, those that do, mention some lame irrelevant notes on how fast the first lock was and how accurate it showed their location at the time and how all the bars looked colourful and pretty during the 8 seconds before they closed the application and went on with the review to the really important matters like mentioning if it synchs with Facebook fast enough and if the weather widget is really accurate or not.

Expecting them to drive around 10 minutes and walk around as much and record and show tracks on a map would be too much. It's a "if you want GPS, why don't you buy a real GPS son? This is just a phone!" world, even when phones cost 500€+ and list GPS+Sat Nav capability on the box.

One thing is for sure, I might get called all sorts of nasty things again but I'm not spitting out 599€ like I did for that SGS I again to later find out that its tracks look like something that a drunk 8 year old with a crayon XXXX'ed all over a map in total darkness.

And to the crowd mentioned 2 paragraphs above, it's not that I navigate a lot, but when I do, I like to use the phone, and since it was pricey and the specs state it has GPS and is navigation capable, I like to navigate with it or tend to curse. A lot.

If all else fails, I can perhaps use the same well-proven method I have used with Samsung's fine Galaxy S. I just give them my 599€, use it, find out it is crap, store the pathetic tracks for public display, return it and recover my euros and any eventual bonus points for credit card usage.

But I'd rather not.

So; Anyone lost lately? With a Sensation? Anyone?
[HTC Sensation] lukesan:
Bump on this one.

Should be easy for someone to download gps-status and put a small 2 minute movie on youtube.

Same as the others here I am using 'a phone' most of the time for GPS purposes.

The lock time is not the single most important thing in GPS reception. Also accuracy and jitter are very important.

My best GPS receiver in the phones I owned was the Touch HD. Good and stable lock and especially no jitter. Meaning when driving at 100kmh it would show 100 and not 102-98-101-etc etc

My HD2 is now has a fast lock, but lets not talk about the other GPS capabilities.

I am doubting between the Sensation and the ... drumrolls... Galaxy S2!

I have seen some pretty bad S1 movies and comments but it seems that with the S2 they have done a good job on the receiver.

This is one compared to the Desire S http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZzJyKtPkHw

That looks pretty impressive but only shows the receivers sensitivity.

GPS and compass demo vid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mivpOyvNU30
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Wow great demo...

Sorry for my ignorance, but do i need to be on a 3G to be able to use the maps the way it is used in the video?
[HTC Sensation] novanosis85:
Yes Google maps needs to download the info...

I'm not sure if you can cache
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
The video shows several different apps.

Google Maps, Earth, and Navigation do require a data connection to initially download the map segments. Nav now caches the segments used for a specific route so that once you're underway you can lose the connection and still navigate and even recalculate routes.

I haven't owned a HTC phone, but it's my understanding that the Locations app from HTC uses TomTom maps which are resident on the phone, and do not need a data connection. I also believe there are two levels, free and premium, so some features are only available if you pay.

http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-desire-hd-locations-navigation
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Being abroad i wont be using 3G connection as it will make me go bankrupt very fast so i would like to know that if im traveling abroad and i wanna navigate myself just like in the video i will be able to do that without any kind of internet connection
[HTC Sensation] novanosis85:
WON'T WORK.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Depends on which specific apps you want to use. Google apps (Maps, Navigation, and Earth) require a data connection. As I indicated, my understanding of HTC Locations is it uses maps stored locally on the phone, so no data connection is required, although getting a GPS lock without a connection can take a bit longer since A-GPS can't be used.

Another thing to consider is buying a local SIM in the country you travel to. Rates are typically MUCH cheaper. I was in Paris last year and bought a Orange SIM with 1 month of unlimited data for about 20 Euros total. I used 3G most of every day navigating around the city, translation, etc., and it worked perfectly. It takes a bit of research in each country to find the deals, and get it set up, which can be somewhat of a challenge where language is a barrier, but it can be well worth the effort. I plan to do the same in Italy in October.
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Thanks for great advices. Looks like the HTC locations is the money free solution then.

Its odd as i always thought that navigating while driving and navigating while walking is the same in a manner that they are both require a satellite lock and not an internet connection... I really thought its as simple as that.. load the program, get a satellite lock and start navigating.. Guess not
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
It's not quite that simple. It depends on the specific app you are using, where the maps are stored, and also whether you want the fastest initial GPS lock or not. In general things work better with a data connection, but with some apps it's not required.

Another point I may not have been clear about, the Locations app has a free and a premium version. Some features are only available with the paid premium upgrade. You'll need to check with your phone vendor, or HTC to get the details of the features in each version and the pricing.
[HTC Sensation] bubigrega:
I can confirm that you need no internet connection to use HTC Locations. As I travel a lot I us it quite often. Navigation while walking is free. For driving navigation you have to pay. HTC offers diffrent periods you can buy. So for my last trip in Spain with rented car I paid cca 4 euros for 1 month driving navigation. Before that I visited Wien Austria and since I walked around on foot I paid nothing. And to download maps its free.

So as you can see I realy like built in HTC Location. Cheers
[HTC Sensation] R3dox:
I think the gps is pretty good. Just had gps status on for some minutes on the bus and out of town I had a lock in what seems like <1 sec with progressively more satellites up to around 10. A constant error of 3-5m with dop/hdop/vdop 1.4 1.0 1.1.

Then when I entered the city (Amsterdam, btw, near central station) the dop went up to 2.0 and an error of around 6m.

Most importantly for you, I think, is that when I was still out of town I checked gmaps and saw that we were actually driving on the bus lane in a straight line. Unfortunately had no time to check maps here.

So how does that sound to you? Coming from an HD2 without agps on android, this is pretty impressive to me. With WM I never had an accurate status program, though I remember the gps being fine as well.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
A little bit off-topic, but did u get unlimited voice on that Orange SIM too?

cuz im planning to visit Paris in July for a month, and i was worried about what i should do in that regard....
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
No, the Orange Internet Max deal is only for data access. I didn't need voice so didn't look at those plans.

Here's a bit more info, although I can't vouch for how current this is since plans can change frequently.

http://prepaid-wireless-internet-access.wetpaint.com/page/France+-+Orange

http://paygsimwithdata.wikia.com/wiki/France

I went to an Orange store, which are all over Paris, and fortunately the guy spoke English and fixed me up within 5 minutes. The folks in the tabacs who sell SIMs don't know about this plan far as I could tell. It does take about 2 days to get activated on their network, but worked great.
[Dell Streak 7] rtseung:
Hello all, got a couple of newbie questions before i jump the gun:

1. Can you tweak the screen density of steak 7 to make the screen seem like it is in a higher resolution than 800x480?

2. Can you disable one core of the dual cpu under android to make it have a better battery life?

THanks!
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I don't know about the screen tweak, but the dual core fear is unfounded. Dual core processors actually use less power than their single core brethren, so don't sweat it.

hai friends,

how to intall stock rom in a custem rom phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Hence the rule : always take a nand backup between different roms. If you go back a few pages in the general section you will find a nand backup of the stock rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gijokmr:
ok

but if i want to remove completely(means remove recovery and rom)

what is the method for that purpose?

Is it done by lg kdz updator tool
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Use kdz update only as a last resort! It can be dangerous.

For your problem, first restore the nand backup. Then in the development section, there is a thread by ciaox that has flashable zips of all recoveries, including the original recovery. You can flash this zip and your recovery will be restored to the stock one.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gijokmr:
is it remove custem revery if i flashing my phone using ciaox's flashable zip ?

What is dangrious of using kdz updator tool?

when the time of using stock rom ,i updated my phone version using kdz updator.i think that is very easy process for me
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 22VIN:
KDZ transfers data in realtime from your PC to your phone SO if something goes wrong with your PC (it crashes, freezes, power surge etc) you get a bricked device which can be unbricked in very rare cases.

It's easy to use but very very dangerous.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
If you flash the zip 'Original_recovery_thunderg.zip' (or something similar) then yes your custom recovery will be removed and it will get reverted to stock recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gijokmr:
thanks 4 ur reply

If yes which version and link please

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gijokmr:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] 22VIN:
openOptimus is a very stable and fast ROM; I'm very pleased with it. Works very fine with francisco v13.3 kernel and the battery life is pretty good.

@zalman: did you wipe everything before installing the new rom? By that I mean data, cache, dalvik, system.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
On the website for this product, http://www.htcdongle.com/news.php , it says that the device can be used to flash, unlock and soff the Incredible S. If you go into their forum, you will find that this capability was just added last week for the Vivo. It looks like it can be used to repair IMEI numbers as well. If you find a store that sells it, it costs $119.

If it works as advertised, it seems like a pretty good deal. So does anyone have any first hand experience with one of these?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
hmm, i never heared of it, better stick with xtc, also since the payg is comin so much cheaper..

and tbh i dont believe this as well, since i havent seen an video of actually disabling the security aka s-off on an device

and how would you connect it to your phone?

as far as i know you can only s-off an device trough fakin a dev-simcard (when its hardware based)
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
You don't connect it directly to your phone. It's a dongle. You just plug it into your PC and plug your phone into your PC and the software you install detects the dongle and the phone. At least that's how I understand the instructions posted on their forum.

I find thisproduct interesting because I'm interested in the IMEI repair functionality aspect. As far as I know the XTC Clip doesn't offer that option.

But if HTC unlocks their bootloaders before I actually buy my next phone, it won't matter as I won't need it. I just wanted to put this out here to see if anyone had tried it and to show there are other options available.
[HTC Incredible S] yazidkhan:
hi paten.. yes.. nw we can use htc dongle to s-off incredible s. check dis out

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f66...ased-incredible-s-full-support-added-1269667/
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
this seems a software hack to the IS since it's not connected directly to the phone..

well.. does this mean that those guys have found the exploit everyone is searching for?
[HTC Incredible S] yazidkhan:
Hi nikant.. the phone is certainly connected with the dongle.. but in an indirect way.. its almost same as xtc clip but in a better way.
[HTC Incredible S] nikant:
that's not an answer to my question.

"indirect way" means software way.. and software could be/looks like exploit

is it or not?

xtc clip emulates dev sim card with hardware connected.

and btw with xtc payg only 25-30 euros you're way too expensive

for the simple user

right now..
[HTC Incredible S] yazidkhan:
I should say its 80% hardware nd 20% software.. htc dongle also emulates dev sim card.. unlike xtc the connection between the dongle nd the fon is through the software.. we should connect our fon to the same pc wid the usb plug.. the software helps the fon to connect to the dongle virtually.. rest is same as xtc.. hope this cleared out ur question
[HTC Incredible S] Psychoguy:
a dongle cant act as a simcard

why?

because its not in the simcard slot.... so unless theres a actual simcard placed and you call this not a software hack i call it a ghost story
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Wow. Following the HXCDongle, formerly the HTCDongle, forum tells me that this works. I don't need to understand how it works. I have decided to not get an Incredible S though and am waiting for them to support the HTC Sensation 4G before buying one. It looks like the price has gone down on the HTC Dongle at ipmart.com, probably because of the name change and trying to get rid of old stock. This just seems like a better deal then the XTC clip so I don't know why it hasn't gotten a better following.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
lol, you should search further.... alpharevx is gonna supply software for s-off ;)
[HTC Incredible S] jazzaddict:
Assuming the dongle write some sort of unlock code to the sim card? And when inserted into the phone, the code is read and executed by the bootloader, as the sim card is "trusted" by the bootloader??

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunswick:
There are a lot of WiFi server apps in the market, e.g. Swiftp (swift ftp).

The app should be run on either the TF or your android phone (some of these things work on iphones too i think) and then you either type in an http192.168.1.3:8080 or similar into the web browser to connect to the other device as a file manager OR,

you get given an FTP:// address by the app which you need an FTP client for on your device (again there are plenty in the market e.g AndFtp).

This should allow you to use WIFI to browse the other device's files and transfer things between them.

I have my phone and TF connected to my home router, one is 192.168.1.3 the other is 192.168.1.6 for the IP's but whatever apps i try or anything I do I cannot get them to connect to each other. I just get "host not found" or "connection error".

Hi,

I am having a hard time with Verizon as the moment.

I experience TERRIBLE signals when I connect at home, or in my home area, which is Brooklyn, NY.

I mean terrible as in -120dbm for EVDO and fluctuating between -79 and -85dbm for CDMA

In Manhattan, I'm here at my office, and I'm seeing EVDO -68dbm and CDMA -50dbm, which I classify as pretty perfect.

I don't know what my rights are with Verizon, but I'm ready to cancel my service and switch to T-Mobile.

Does anyone have any experience with bad signals with Verizon ?

I'm stunned, as I thought New York was pretty well lit up.
