Well, you would have to use WiFi to get the directions and load the route. Google Navigation does all the routing and maps online, but caches the directions and appropriate maps for the journey itself. During the trip you wouldn't be able to search or reroute, though.

There are various apps you can purchase that will let you do that, though, such as CoPilot. You can use WiFi to purchase CoPilot and download the maps, then use it connection-free as a GPS.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:

For now, you can try putting it in airplane mode and trying it.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
The maps may be off-line but you'll still have to connect for live traffic. But yeah, it should work without data and just update whenever it has connection such as 3G/4G or Wifi.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Well, I just suggested airplane mode as a "trial" test to see how it would work out. But I assume that the results wouldn't be too good doing this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
ok guys i'm definitely a noob at this but i think i messed up this morning downloading the gb drivers for my captivate. i was running serendipity 6.4 and i was trying to flash serendipity VII. i didn't flash back to stock 2.1 eclair with odin one click before i followed the instructions on downloading the new drivers for the gb. i went to the power menu on the 6.4 and hit download mode and plugged in the usb. it went halfway through the downloading process and stopped. my screen was blank without the downloading sign anymore and on odin it was at a halt. i waited for about 45 minutes for it to proceed and nothing so i unplugged it. when i did the factory recovery screen came up and i could use the volume up and down buttons to scroll through the menu choices but it wouldn't let me use the power button to make a selection at all like the power button wasn't working. i pulled the battery and put it back in after a while and now all i get is the galaxy s gt-i9000 samsung screen and nothing else. it wont let me back into recovery or download mode no matter what button combo i try. did i brick my phone and is there a way for me to fix this without having to buy another one? any help would be greatly appreciated.( guys, i realized i messed up shortly after it was done and messed up that i should've odin one clicked it back to factory before i did this,but by that time it was too late.)

When a problem comes along, you must jig it!

You might want to look into buying/making a jig to get you to a place where you can repair your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
ok guys,the phone will let me get back into the recovery menu and but won't let me make a selection out of the menu with the power button and i still get the galaxy s screen but nothing else.

Please use more descriptive thread titles. Your title is useless to anyone doing a search.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Could you please quote/reply to these steps to getting into download mode?

From powered-off state, Hold V+/V-, insert USB cable

With battery out, Hold V+/V-, insert USB cable

From powered-off state, Hold V-, press & hold power button

If you haven't tried this combo yet, try using the home softkey in place of the power button with some of these combos - there have been reports of the power button getting remapped to the home softkey.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
i apologize for the wrong topic but i have tried every way possible that is listed on xda and other forums to get into download mode with no luck. the only way i could is from the menu's on the roms that i had flashed before( cognition 4.5.3 and serendipity 6.4). i got it to work one time with the hold the vol. up and down buttons and the power button and inserting the battery and it never worked again. all i get is the charging symbol now,the galaxy s screen, or recovery screen. i did get it back into recovery and i tried the home soft button and nothing. then i hit the menu soft button and now it shows the android man and the exclamation point in the triangle. what can i do guys???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Just out of curiosity, when you're at the android man/exclamation screen, if you have odin up already and plug in the phone, does it recognize that the phone's attached?

If so, you might be able to use the odin one-click to get back to stock eclair.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
i will try that and get back to you. hopefully it will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
no sir. i plugged it in and the computer lets me know that i plugged in the usb but nothing registers on odin or the phone. :mad:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Hmm... I've reached the end of things I know to say to try. I'm assuming you've tried changing which port you're plugging your phone into on the computer?

Also, have you tried using adb to reboot to download? If not, get adb and use the "adb reboot download" command (I think...) to see if that gets you there. You may need to be in the recovery menu (if you can get back there), or the exclamation point / android guy might work, too.

Although, if you can get back to recovery, you might be able to mount your phone to the computer, drop a copy of CWM on there and reinstall that so you can have more options available to you.

Your best bet at this point might be to buy or build a jig. That should hopefully make the phone go into download mode so that you can get to where you need to be.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
ok, now i'm a little confused. i've been sitting here with my phone in my pocket not messing with it. i pull it out of my pocket and it was off. i held the down volume button and the power button at the same time and it immediately started showing download mode. now i'm not near my computer with odin on it to flash it back to stock. lolol. this is depressing. now all i can hope is i can make it back to my computer before my battery runs out. i say this because my phone has always been hard to use the button combos to get it into download mode.:mad:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
if i can get odin to flash it back to stock,i'll master clear it. question is should i root it again before flashing the GB bootloaders to install serendipity VII?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
Nope, root isn't needed to flash that ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Good to hear there's a glimmer of hope. If you do manage to get there, you might want to make an EFS backup before moving any further, just so you have one more tool in your arsenal of preventing phone problems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1tontomato:
After reading this whole thread I think your problem is that you now have gingerbread bootoaders and your button combos have changed and you don't know it.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
i think you may be right about having the GB bootloaders. now first question is how to i manage to make an efs back up? secondly, if i have the GB bootloaders then what do i do to flash the complete serendiptiy VII onto the phone? the reason why i ask is because the phone just quit downloading the flash in the middle of the download and that's when all hell broke loose. lolol. but you guys are right. i might just have a glimmer of hope.:D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you do have the GB bootloaders, you should (theoretically) be able to get to download mode with the volume - & power button combination. This may take a little fiddling to find a timing after you've started the phone to find out when you can get to it.

As far as flashing Serendipity, you could try, but my advice would be to try and get to stock Eclair first and then go forwards. You're in a place with a lot of variables, and stock Eclair would be as variable-free as you're likely to get.

As far as backing up the EFS, under the CWM recovery menu, there's an option to make a nandroid backup. That's step 1. Once you've made the backup, just copy it from the clockworkmod folder to a safe place.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
well i've got an update now. got everything back to factory 2.1 eclair and then i did a master reset in the phone because now i can't get into the recovery menu or the download menu and one click root will not work on my phone now at all. it keeps saying failed.:mad:

+1 on the jig...odin is very finicky and a jig will get you to download mode when you need it most...

buy or make one...worth every penny.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
DO NOT DO THIS or you will run into the 3e recovery issue and make more work for yourself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you're on stock, just copy the cwm zip from the one click tool onto the root of your phone, rename it "update.zip", and see if you can use adb recovery reboot to get to the recovery menu. just make sure you have the usb debugging option selected. If you can get there, do the reinstall packages option, let it reboot, do it again, and you should be in cwm. You can root from there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
I rescind my idea, you're right. I doubt the OP is interested in a kernel swap to get things going.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
guys i'm running into an issue still with not being able to get my phone into download mode and one click root will not work on my phone and captivate one click root won't work. i don't know what the hell is going on with my phone. i can't even get into recovery mode anymore. all it does is flash the first att bootscreen on and off over and over. it will not go into recovery at all. will the 3 button fix odin work for me to get me started?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
Nevermind. I read up on the 3 button fix. I cant install it if i cant get into download mode but also i read that you cant use 3button fix with gb bootloaders. Is this true? Oh, one more thing. Can someone help me with installing android sdk? I am new to this and i got as far as installing sdk,sdk manager,the google usb drivers, and then it said in the instructions that once this was installed i needed to drag the google usb drivers somewhere else and once my phone was plugged up it would automatically find the samsung drivers and recognize my phone in adb in the command prompt menu. Well, iknow i am a noobie and i am probably not doing something right but when i plug the phone in it doesnt show up at all on the command prompt. Can someone help me with this install so i can get it right. That way i dont have to worry about the 3 button fix. This would be the best way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Not sure which thread you're monitoring, cause you're on a couple of them, but this worked for me. I had same problem and the ADB method worked best.

Here it is...

Method 3: ADB (for advanced users.)

1. Download the android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (NOT THE .EXE VERSION)

2. Drag it into the ROOT (top-most directory) of your hard drive.

3. Open the Command Prompt and navigate to the tools folder in the android SDK.

4. type adb shell then press enter

5. type adb reboot download then press enter

The above excerpt was taken from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

The above technique did not work for me at first because i kept getting the syntax wrong. Instead of loading the shell first i just ran "adb reboot download" from the command prompt and it worked with no problem.

You could also try the other methods for download mode described in that post and see if those help at all.

Give that a shot and let me know if you get hung up

Also note: It seems that the Android SDK package has changed since the creation of that post. If you go to run adb.exe from the "tools" folder you will see a little note saying that adb.exe is no longer located there and that you can now find it in the "platform-tools" folder. If that folder does not exist you will have to use "SDK manager.exe" to install the correct tools. Personally, i installed everything it offered so that i would have it all if i ever needed it. It'll take a while to download and install it all, so give yourself a head start if you are going that route.

The above was contributed by ZionExpress. I would add to that, that using 'ADB reboot download' did not work for me. Use 'ADB reboot recovery' then start over with the flashing. Hope this helps

[Galaxy 3 General] iRam33z:
the biggest problem i had with the XXJPM was the battery drain so i switched to XWJPF which i think is a recent release but i am not so sure. i did not have any issues with the GPS but the sound lag was there when the screen is on sleep mode.

i installed the fugumod kernel and set the minimum core speed to 333 so it does not fall below that. and never had any sound issues and sound was great too. u can also set the core to performance (OC 800 kernel version and the speed stays at 800 all the time) but that will drain your battery in no time. just my experience

i tried kyrillos and its an awesome ROM, the only con was that i could not change themes. i am yet to try the INDROID but as always i dont like a lot of apps in any custom ROM so i remove them. kyrillos only had a few but looks like indroid has a whole load of em

i'd like to see someone build a rom with the

original theme (but able to install themes)

basic apps

newer market

newer map app

deodexed

a2sd

lagfree

CWM recovery

5 lockscreen mod

and all the function that comes with building a custom rom

the rest can be achieved with a custom kernel i guess

this would be awesome!!!!

p.s. the dev's at xda are doing an awesome job keeping us happy, they deserve a lot more than thank you's and i believe we are here today coz the devs here are doing something extraodinary thant the devs at samsung.

you guys are the best of the best.
[Galaxy 3 General] alen1901:
hmm, interesting, a found a lot of people have trouble about clicking sound when making conversation. OC is ok, but.. why do that, processor itself will work how it must, i mean, if overclock it will drain too much battery, if underclock it will be slow. i only expirienced delay problem when receiving incoming call, it's a little bit slow, but else is ok.

today i got official upgrade for my galaxy 3. it was jp9, 2.2, not 2.2.1. i have problems now with back button when in contacts and when unlocking the phone. i have to press back or menu key few times to turn on the screen, but home key works fine. strange thing.. why they put bugged version of froyo to official update over kies..
[Galaxy 3 General] iRam33z:
Oh My GOD! it does exist. 1 week of torture flashing more than 30 times trying to find something to my liking.... ^_^ i did search but never showed up until now when i used the devs name....

:O ok now thats so strange, i flashed XXJPM the first time around and configured everything background syncing hsdpa gps and so on... battery went down within 16 hours of use :O but well i shouldnt complain.. have in so much power in a 4" device and here i am complaining... stupid me.
[Galaxy 3 General] TekkenLaw:
I agree with Clarkkov..I too have been using XXJPM for about 2 months now & there are no problems..the battery life is great..I easily get 3 days usage on a full charge. The 2 small issues I saw are:

1. Camera app. sometimes crashes.

2. Back button does not work in Contacts app., you have to click Home button to close it.

Does XXJPN resolve these issues..?
[Galaxy 3 General] alen1901:
i agree for back button. also when phone is locked, you can turn on the screen only with home key, or key for powering device..
[Galaxy 3 General] TeamRainless:
I thought this was interesting...

So I turned on my phone...

Opened the Contacts app...

Pressed the back button...

...and it worked just fine.

JPM. Did you remember to do a factory reset?
[Galaxy 3 General] TheCreat:
The camera thing is a known issue (there is also a fixed camera.apk without that problem in the apps section). It has to do with gps/location as it tries to geotag the pictures you take.

I also can't confirm the back-buttons issue. I've been running XXJPM for a while and back button works just fine! Try a wipe (or at least clear cache) and see if that makes a difference...
[Galaxy 3 General] mpbm23:
Are you using Launcher Pro?

If yes kill the Contacts app ,and add again the shortcut in your launcher by long-pressing the icon.

Now when you open the app it must work normally.

System (stl6) = ext4 or ext2

Flash fugumod kernel (if you dont have it already), and make a .txt file and write:

stl6 ext2

stl7 ext4

stl8 ext2

Save the file and rename it to fs.convert. Put it in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod/ and reboot your phone.

In previous releases, I was having issues restoring data to my apps after wiping for a new ROM. However, in the latest release, I am no longer having these issues.

I'd say that it's worth the purchase.

Hey guys.

So I've got VPNC widget set up nicely on my desire, and want it on my rooted Xoom.

I got launchpad 1.2.2 with tun.ko - I installed tun.ko with insmod - and it shows up nicely in lsmod.

VPNC has root - BUT! When pressing "Check prerequisites" in vpnc widget, it says root is missing. It seems to find the tun fine, and also it has beef with Advanced routing - but it's worked on my phone with this problem too.

When I try to connect at first it seems like it went okay, as it shows up green and "VPNC is ON!" but, I have no connection to the network, can't ping anything on the vpn.

I shut it off and go back in to check the logs, and its filled with:

reloc_library[1315]: xxxxx cannot locate '__set_syscall_errno'...

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

there are like 15-20 lines of this, and then something about:
