Is there a surefire way to download maps so the transformer does not need to be wifi/tethered to run this as a stand alone GPS?

I ran across this, anyone used it?

Brut Google Maps 4.6.0.4686-brut17
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
Not tried that one you mention but this one works great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Frostbite21:
Cheers. :) Just tried that and found it very good. Even has a map with local bus route overlays.

Free appof the day today at Amazon is Gaia GPS.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] kingdruid:
I couldn't find a way to tell it to download the maps in full only small squares.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jideay:
I had downloaded it on my droid x and it worked great. But it won't download maps to the transformer... My apologies.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Odinbear:
Another way..

Hi, You dont say if you have an android phone, BUT if you had a rooted HTC Desire. (am sure it would work with any other htc that has car panel). (my sig says the one im using).

You could do the following;

Either Download a free app from the android market called "OntheflyBackup" run the app and you will now have the "Navigation app" and the "CarHomeLauncher app" and backups of all your other programs so its a win win situation. Or if your winrar savvie just extract the files from a Rom.

Now;

1, Run "Carpanel" app on the phone.

2 Select Get More, and download the maps you want (wifi enabled for speed)

3, Open the sd card either through data link or removing the card from the phone. Look in the folder ".data" you will see a folder "navigator"

4, Now copy this folder to a new ".data" folder on the "Internal" Sd card you acn see in the file explorer on the transformer. It must be in this one and Not the external Sd card.

5, Copy the "Navigation app" and the "CarHomeLauncher app" to downloads or any other folder on the card. placed in the Transformer.

6, On the Transformer, install the two apps and then run "Navigation". The car panel Wont look the same as on the phone It dosnt have the get more button, But will allow you to Navigate to anywhere on the maps you have selected.

Ive tried this from the UK to a area in Germany and it worked for me. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] lightfire:
Thanks,

Unfortunately I have symbian phone - hope to get an android phone soon, but just don't use anything but email and calender as far as a "smart phone". And right now I have 15/month unlimited data plan. If I switch to a "smart phone" then ATT will hit me for large data plan.

Oruxmaps enables you to view online maps from many sources including Google Maps.

It will also let you define a location and surrounding area and it will then cache all the Google Maps tiles (or any other service's tiles) to your SD card. You can even define several zoom levels to store for each area.

It does a lot more than just that and is free on the market.

Anyone know why the wifi and signal icons randomly change from white to green?

They was white this morning and I thought "they are normally green" lol. They then changed back to green and are now white again and i'm changing nothing....that i'm aware of anyway...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
Green means its connected to googles servers for sync etc. This is a gingerbread feature (although not present on i9000 stock roms, some themes/roms have integrated it).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -Liam-:
That explains it. I had turned off the automatic syncing. Thanks for the reply :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poliziano:
Sorry if this has been answered before.

I try to move a 6 gb file to either internal or external SD card and keep getting the message that the file is too large for the destination folder.

Are there limitations for the file size? If so what are they?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
I'm guessing that both the internal and external SD cards are formatted as FAT32? If so, FAT32 filesystems have a file size limitation of 2^32−1 (4,294,967,295) bytes.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poliziano:
That makes sense. Thank you for the help.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbedford:
Hi,

I have a rooted desire Z (with S-OFF) currently using Cyanogen 7 nightly from around 3 weeks ago.

Three days ago I came back to my phone which was on charge to see the green LED indicating a full charge, so I pulled the cable out but the phone would not respond. It had a black screen (no back light) as though it was off. I tried to power on with the button, no response. So i removed the battery to force a cold reset.

Since that moment it is totally dead! Will not charge (no orange or green LED and the mains charger which usually gets warm during a charge, doesn't) Will not switch on, its completly bricked, i cant even boot to recovery using power and vol down.

My only glimmer of hope is that when connected to my PC, a new device is picked up (QHSUSB_DLOAD is the name) nut I dont know how to make use of this. I have tried to leaving it with the battery out for hours, and charging it for hours, fiddled with the battery to ensure a good connection and also tried to power off mains (no battery) no luck!!

I have tried using ADB but just get a device not found error.

Any idea's?

Thanks

Mike
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastergrifis:
If is totally bricked maybe htc won't be able to turn it on and discover that you have rooted it. I'd try in your place
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaganAng3l:
You need to send that in! It's a bad emmc chip or patition 18 became corrupted. Either way htc will have to replace the emmc and reflash an ruu tthus destroying any chance of them finding out. Trust me you're good for sending it in

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renkinjitsu:
I have a GT-I9000 with stock ROM (& moded kernel, but the kernel is not the problem).

Today, my phone turned off while I was working and didn't paid him much attention.

Then I tried to turn it on, I waited some time and decited that it takes too much.

Then I opened it's back panel and removed the battery. after about 4 hours I charged the battery and turned on my phone.

That's where the problems begun!

The phone booted as ususal till it got to the lock screen, but then it vibrated (the app crash vibration), I unlocked and then ALL of my apps crushed one after another, about 50 apps one by one even though I just turned on my device.

In addition, I've been asked by the device for some info, such as my facebook loggin details, and wifi/3G settings.

Every time I try to use a crashed app, it crashes again.

In my notifications bar, the "noteeverything" app tells me that the Datavase is unreadable and GO Louncher keeps crashing time and time again.

Any1 knows what happens and what should I do?

If formatting the flash is the only way, might I save my apps and their data?

Please help me save my PICTURES!!! ><

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
i would suggest trying to uninstall go launcher, sounds like that's where the problem begins

if it doesn't help you might have to flash your phone, also you should try to save your stuff via Kies if it still is recognized by it

good luck mate
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omad0:
I don't know what you have stored on the actual phone, but I'd try everything to pull what you can off, uless you have recent backups... which you should. One thing I've learnt with smartphones is backup backup backup. I lost my calendar through similar circumstance to you, phone froze, i rebooted it and calendar would always crash... had to reset it =(

Worse to worse, you'll probably have to do a factory reset on it. This only resets all your apps, contacts, sms etc etc... basically anything stored on main phone memory. All data on your internal SD card will be safe... this means your photo's.

If you have kept all your data backed up through google (contacts, calendar etc) then you'll have almost no issue. It'll all restore itself after you wipe and setup your account again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammodo:
Flash with Odin. Pictures on internal SD are safe.

Hey XDA :)

I've been flashing numerous kernels + roms for the past few days, some went well, others, not so well. After all this, for now I've settled for a kernel which is easy to get to + a rom I really like.

My concern now is, what is the impact of all this on the filesystem. Meaning, what exactly does flashing do? Overwrite the important things such as /sys, /system when it comes to flashing a kernel would be one I guess, but does it completely delete the previous contents and write the new data or just overwrite it, thuus files created after one flash that weren't part of another flash remaining there ?

Any info is appreciated!

Always disable lagfixes before flashing :)

Sent from gt i9000 insanity 8.5/fugumod
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
yes as said above, always disable lagfix before flashing a new rom, this will prevent the majority of corruptions.

also if you ever run in to problems, the best way to fix is to flash a full 3 file firmware along with pit file and repartition, this will restore the filesystem to as it was when it was new. leaving everything as it should be :D all nice n clean

And in my experience, some Roms / Kernels Overwrite and leave traces of the older version and some completely remove all traces of the older version..

but ive been on MIUI for ages and ages, and roms and kernels have progressed A LOT since then, so this may no longer be an issue

Happy flashing :D
[Xperia Play General] magicriggs:
Hey guys I'm having some concerns about my xperia play and so i want to know if i should be worried...

My screen flickers. ( Not on/off) but between shades. It's hard to explain but it drops between levels of brightness, but here's the deal i turn auto brightness off and it still flickers. Now i have noticed that the screen will dim ( flicker shades) with the orientation of the phone. Idk.

Also when I'm downloading the games thru xperia app it takes forever, i have high speed internet and I'm connected via WiFi but should i be expecting A 150MB download to take up to 45 minutes. Seems kinda slow to me.

Thanks in advance guys.
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
By Tue screen flickering if u mean the auto brightness increasing and decreasing immensely at times its normal since u cant turn off the auto brightness in our phone....

About the games..most of the games took 15-20 mins or less for me on an 8 mpbs connection
[Xperia Play General] magicriggs:
Is there some kind of other brightness settings, i turned auto brightness off. And I'm still getting fluctuations in the shade of color.
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
if you have root you can disable this, but it is only temporary as somewhere in the system it re-enables this.

create a gscript with su ability

start script below

echo "0" > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable

end script above

do not include the start and end parts

lasts around an hour, stops the flicker in bad light situations
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
It wont turn off even if you untick it, its an anoying bug, hopefully custom roms/kernels will solve this, dont worry about the downloads, even with high speed internet, keep in mind most of the developers are small companies and cant afford expensive hosting, even the gameloft servers are slow imo
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
You can NOT turn auto brightness off on the Play, it is hard wired right into the os, even if you used an app or widget saying it if off it is NOT! there is nothing you can do until SE fix it or some members here mod the os,

All the Play's do exactly what your describing, lots of topic here and elsewhere about it, everybody moans about it!

And regarding downloads, things from the market download fast for me, very fast, but other stuff from other places can be very slow, gameloft for example, takes hours! just depends on the servers your downloading from.
[Xperia Play General] magicriggs:
Hey thanks guys for the information. When i get to a desktop I'll hit the thanks button for all of you. I think my WiFi was acting up last night, i was playing some zombies and downloading torrents at the same time.lol. anyways thanks guys again.
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
Actually you can disable it, its just not permanent please see my previous post
[Xperia Play General] Varucell:
To be honest with you I like the auto brightness. I think is super responsive which other phones it seems like it takes forever to kick in which is why I normally shut it off
[Xperia Play General] FrAsErTaG:
I think it works great too, but it is nice to have this little gscript ready for times when the autobrightness goes wacky and the screen flickers

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckhed1:
If you are getting 1-2 hours of tethered WIFI before it gets too hot you are doing pretty good;) The only issue I have had since upgrading to the new 1.1.1 is the WIFI tether would cause my battery to get very hot, very quickly(like 15 to 20 mins). I tried all the fixes I could find in various thread but ultimately the one that solved it was Odin back to stock and reflash the ROM. I also got rid of voltage control and went with setCPU alone set @ conservative 200-1300, and its running fast and strong! It still gets hot after an hour or more of tethering but that is very rare when i would ever need to tether that long...lol.

Thanks to all contributors for the killer ROM !
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you are using Voltage control or some other app for this, the default voltages are usually listed and you have the option of reducing it in 25 mV steps. If you have not changed anything then it should be OK.

Turn off fastboot in power settings & switch off & see if lights remain on. Try pulling the battery out , wait for ten sec & then insert, close back cover & then power down (with fastboot off).
