[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Falkner09:
Would this allow us to change the trackball click function into a search button? Because that woukd solve the biggest flaw on this phone.

And if so, would trackball scrolling still work for text selection? I like that, just don't really use the trackball click. I'm guessing the trackball button would be the one labeled "center" right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
if you can get that to work i'd remap my trackball to search as well. good idea .. never woulda though of that
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Falkner09:

Well my trackpad is officially now a search key all u do is replace line 50 with SEARCH (all upper case) and reboot so thank u guys for the information appreciate it

Edit: trackpad still scrolls too
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AFAinHD:
WOO! Thanks now it feels like my phone is fulfilled!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
You can put your search button on the "multitasker" button. The key still works as a jump key when the phone is open.

You will lose access to your recent apps, but you can take care of that with a new launcher or a "prehome" app.

Just replace MULTITASKER with SEARCH.

My Sidekick 4g took a bath this summer in a creek...the joy damage was the Back button stopped functioning.

I used this post to switch the Jump button to Back, since I never used the Jump button...and my phone works great now. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RenaldiDroidXDA:
very helpful, even though i'll probably screw this up. Is it possible to change jump key into launching a pre home app, like URL="https://playDOTgoogleDOTcom/store/apps/details?id=mohammad.adib.sidebar.lite"this one? (too new, cant post links)

And I assumed that when the person said "is it called multitasker" they were already looking at the keyboard-s3l file...

Hope this helps... and immortality, I wasn't trying to be mean, I didnt understand the person's question.

I don't think anyone was being just wanted to make sure before I start changing things is all.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shadowscott:
Ok.

Yeah just change the Multitasker and then restart. Should be fine :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
If your having issues with this check out My Aroma package in the developers section,

the latest has keymapping options, only two to choose from and return to stock.

i plan to make multiple options (suggestions encouraged) but until i sort out some issues

i wont add a new release. If something doesnt install just reflash aroma and choose that option by itself, its a bug, hopefully fix soon!

Happy Flashing!

[Acer Iconia A500] morkster:
I to have problems with the a500 gps unit. I called acer support and gues what. Acer support in the netherlands told me that the a500 wifi gps unit is not meant for navigating. They say that any problem with gps units on the acer a500 cannot be solved by acer since the gps should not be used for navigating anyway.. the guy told me i should have bought a a500 with 3g unit!.. those a500s would be able to navigate.

I have asked acer to confirm this officially via email, and i will post the email here when they do.. I'll be selling my acer...

Is the a500 wifi version really not supposed to be used for navigation?

--Edit: Acer has replied the helpdesk employee must have been mistaken. They understand the GPS unit is not working correctly and will come up with a solution... Wait and see.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
They are speaking of Google Navigation, which requires an active data connection. The gps doesn't require data to work, it just doesn't work well.

Also, this is not development and shouldn't be in this forum.

Sorry, but that's an incredible bull****! Why would you put a specific purpose module in a device and then claim it is not ment to be used for that specific purpose. I use my A500 with latest Sygyc and despite some screen size issues (lowest dialogue buttons are slightly off-screen) it is working perfect. Its a brand new device with a brand new OS - takes some time for developers to make apps work flawlessly with these tablets or make separate versions for them.

GPS> Possibly faulty hardware

Hi All,

I have also had some issues with the GSP on my a500. Essentially the GPS has been completely unusable. Using an app like GPS essentials doesn't find any satelites. Having played around with a few demo units in stores today I realised that this is not the case for other a500s. I promptly returned my device to the place of purchase for another one, and low and behold i get an almost instant GPS lock (5-10 seconds) and can find 5/6 satellites on gps essentials when indoors. I haven't even tested it outside yet! This would suggest that my original device had a hardware issue with may well be the case for some of the others having issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] jnfjsf:
Google intends to release a stand-alone version to allow Navigation to operate without a wireless connection. But an ETA is a while away. The present version of Navigation will evidently allow non-wireless gps if you sit and wander all over your country of residence such that the map info is saved into a cache, which can be used by the built-in gps chip. I haven't tried to see if it works yet, but I did slowly but surely travel my way inside Navigation until about 3:00am the other night/morning to see if the cache size increased as I multitouched my way from Southwest Florida to Pittsburgh... the longest way possible (like passing through Oklahoma City, Midland TX, Denver... Phoenix, Flagstaff... Cincinnatti, Oxford OH...) and my cache is indeed quite large now.

I might set my a500 on the passenger seat tomorrow afternoon for a little drive to see if at the least I can travel around town.
[Acer Iconia A500] hiroko83:
If you left your tablet outside with a clear view to the sky waited 20 minutes and still did not get a lock , that means that you have a defective unit and should send it to your service center.

Have you installed GPS test ? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&feature=search_result even if you are unable to get a lock it will tell you how many satellite is your device able to view

my 4th iconia a500

Hi guys i am on my 4th acer this one 16g..

first off gps does work and i navigated with it no problem as long as you have wi fi when you enter your destination...

that being said my first a500 a 32g model (futureshop canada) had lousy build uneven gaps around the screen gps would take forever to lock on ..even after all the fixes suggested on xda.. battery drainage was ridiculous fixed with renaming telephony and phone to .bak

the second acer same as first ... 3rd model was 16 g returned because of case creaking ... and finally a miracle

this unit was built may 2011 ok believe this gps fixes in 5 sec out of the box .. its blazing fast applied no updates no tweaks .its simply that good its like a different unit alltoghether ... will post pics and a video too prove this

[Acer Iconia A500] morkster:
I tried sygic, gps test, gps status, google nav... i have had a 10 sec fix once, but can't get another.. My unit is defective and needs to be repaired. I'm disappointed because Acer tells me they do not fix my unit since gps is not supposed to be used on a wifi only model...
[Acer Iconia A500] AZDR1V3R:
well has anyone tried the other "tablets" to see how accurate it could be?

Mine is the 32gb wifi version and my GPS wouldn't work at my house but I went for a drive it linked up in about 5 mins (first time) but after that it knew right where'i was every street I passed it was perfect, I'd suggest taking a drive to test out in the open where satelites can connect easier. Its a tablet.

Maybe 3.1 will solve many problems the xoom seems very smooth on 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I just tested my GPS. When opening Maps, it locates me to an accuracy of 20 meters within 3 seconds. Using GPS status, it takes 118 seconds to lock on with 6 satellites , but I'm inside my house, so it takes a bit longer. Testing it against my Gtab with a Bluetooth GPS receiver, the acer locks on 2 seconds faster, so I'd say its functioning as it should. I'm guessing there is a hardware problem to blame, as I've never really had an issue with my GPS performance.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
I am using Co Pilot on my A500. Drove from Ny to Fl in 2 days using my tablet. Didnt have any problem at all. It take like 30ish second to lock on sat, after that its solid for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] robitron929:
First GPS if for navigating no mater what your using, second I plan to release version 4 of GPS mod that will be final version and fix GPS time out issuse, I ported the files from Asus tranformer system dump. This will also include some updated instuctions. I just have to wait till tomarrow to see if the log data in data/GPS hasn't been cleared. That is the real GPS problem, WHEN YOUR EXIT NAVIGATION, 4 HOURS AFTER YOUR GPS SATELITE CACHE( EMPHEMERIS) IS CLEARED COMPLETELY, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCK ON, IF YOU DONT BELEIVE ME, GO TO GPS TOOL BOX AND HIT TOOL AND HIT RESET, THEN TRY AND GET LOCK, YOULL BE F'D!
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Why should the cache being cleared make it impossible to lock on - the signal comes from the sat, is detected by the gps in the A500, 3+ sats = a lock on. Then that sat data is saved in cache.

After all, you can manually clear the cache with the gps test apps and still get a lock.
[Acer Iconia A500] jrwhite:
New to all things Android, and just purchased an A500 based on specs and reviews.

After setup and OS upgrade I tried the Map app. Popup indicated that location was temporarily unavailable. Went outside ( I live in the country ) and still no luck.

Contacted Acer support via chat. Support guy said that the A500 doesn't have a GPS. I countered that it said so right on the box, and all reviews indicated it did. He insisted it didn't. I asked him for some published info that said so. He sent me this link.

( can't post links as I'm new. Basically the link said 'GPS supported on WiFi' ( what the heck does that mean anyway? .. Location via association with a known Hotspot or triangulation via cell towers isn't GPS )

I thanked him, disconnected the chat, then Googled. The first post I hit on was this one. Un-checking 'use WiFi' as outlined in the first post in this thread cured the problem. Installed GPSTest and I get indoor and outdoor lock within 5 seconds with 6 satellites. Maps and Locator work fine now.

Jonathan
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Glad that worked for you, when I uncheck "use wifi" I get 2-3 satellites in view, and 0 in use. I'll be taking mine back tomorrow as well!

Edit: Just flashed to the Asus VP 3.1 instead of Acer 3.1 and I get instant lock on 7 satellites in my home.

My guess is that it's an Acer clusterf&ck!
[Acer Iconia A500] spaanplaat:
I use navigon on my a500 and it works reasonable (not fully functional in 3.0). GPS lock in 30 secs and pretty accurate too. I also live in the netherlands and my firmware is Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3. I use it quite often as I love a 10" navigation device.

All you have to do is change the dimensions stated in the txt file then repackage with no compression (store).

In this case you only have to change the desc.txt

from

480 427 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 10 part1

to

540 480 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 10 part1

So our screen is 540 wide, to find the proper height a little math.

540 (ours) / 480 (original) = 1.125

1.125 (ratio) * 427 (original) = 480 (new height)
