motorola milestone doesnt has this problem but the nexus one is more powerfull and has more ram and so

what do u guys think i should do?
[Nexus One General] ufukes:
very bad :(
[Nexus One General] Deekayy:
Stop asking the same question with different wording. You can't fix the multitouch with any software update, get a new phone if you intend to play games.
[Nexus One General] ufukes:
:( very very bad :)
[Nexus One General] MichaelAmrs:
Anyone with a Nexus One,can check for any multi-touch issues themselves by downloading “Multitouch Visible Test” from the Android Market and giving it a shot.

How can we kill this permanently. I don't need to rate anything other than a hit chicks rack at the park. And Google maps does not do this.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rootuser3.0:
Freeze it with titanium backup

sent from Abbottabad, Pakistan with no internet connection
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
daaaamn hahaha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsto5539:
How do you do this? I've looked around in TB and cannot find the setting to "freeze"

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Under the back up/restore tab. Find the app. Tap it. It will bring up a small menu that says restore and uninstall, etc... there is also a freeze button... done and done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
If I wanted disable maps I can just un install maps. On my own. Its the rating places that keeps making it pop up and run

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
You should be able to remove it through titanium. You may have to make sure Chuck Norris mode is on(I believe it is on by default).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Ok I need maps. I don't need the rate places. Can just the rate places in maps be disabled?

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[Galaxy 3 General] robin-sips:
Hi all,

I'm pretty new to this forum so excuse from my side if i posted this in the wrong thread.

I bought myself a Samsung galaxy 3 apollo a week ago. I love the cellhpone, but original Eclair rom was driving me nuts, lockscreen that went off when in my pocket etc.. So i finally updated to Destiny's froyo rom.

I must say the cellphone is doing it perfect now, exept my Gps.

I tried gpsstatus, gpsbooster, and fasterfix, and they do work, only my fix is taking ages.

If i run GPS test for example i get 2-3 sattelite signals in nearly 30secs - 2 minutes, but the problem is the following, i see the signal (gray lines), but the gps doesn't lock on them.

After about 5-8 mins i get a fixed lock on the gps, so i can start using navigation software.

I must say i live in Belgium, i use a prepaid card, so i can't use a-gps to get a faster lock.

i also messed around with my gpssetup2 maybe thats the problem, can anyone give me the best setup for this, or how to set those settings back to default settings?

kind regards,

Robin Sips
[HTC Sensation] xelente:
Okay so my sister just bought a HTC Sensation yesterday, she's not that Techy at all and I just came home from work...

She tells me that her sound doesn't work anymore, and I go to help her and try to fix it but I can't find any setting that controls this problem.

The sound is working perfectly in the headphones when they are plugged in, but the built in speaker for the phone doesn't work at all.

It won't even let me play a song without there being any sound, it just automatically pauses until I plug headphones in.

There isn't even any sound when she recieves a phone call or SMS...

I'm sure it's probably just a setting, but I can't seem to be able to find it, hopefully you guys can help me out.

Thanks a bunch!

Do you have the profile set to silent?
[Galaxy 3 General] Chickendude:
I have read through this entire forum, just to find out that it seems nearly impossible to change ROM on our SG3. So could someone please give a detailed step by step explanation how to change ROM on the SG3?
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
Depends on which ROM you want to flash! :p
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Its not impossible. :p . Before flashing, make a backup of the efs partition. For that you need to be rooted. Rooting guide here.

Then backup efs partition. It contains your IMEI. Guide here.

Then the basics of flashing. Flashing guide here.

Apart from these, you also have to follow some other instructions that ROM developers provide for their ROMs. :D:D
[Galaxy 3 General] Chickendude:
Thanks, but most of the ROMs I have are .zip files, instead of .tar, so how can I convert those?
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Which ROM do you have. Do mention the version number also.
[Galaxy 3 General] vishnu:
Are you talking about an "update.zip"? Thats just a Package to update the ROM you already have. To do this :

1) Paste the update.zip in your sdcard

2) Reboot into Recovery (Press and Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Menu Key + Power Button )

3) Select "Apply sdcard:update.zip"

4) Reboot

For doing this, you need to have the whole ROM already installed in your phone. And that will come in a tar package (.tar file).

Flash it using Odin as One Package. And then apply update.zip.
[Galaxy 3 General] Panos_dm:
Silly question but....did you try to UNZIP the roms after you downloaded them?

Peace...;)

Sent from my lestatious 2.0 nokia 3210
[Galaxy 3 General] Chickendude:
Yes, I tried, so most likely the ROM is corrupt, but is it also possible to change ROM without using Odin, because Odin doesn't recognise the .ops file?
[Galaxy 3 General] Chickendude:
So far, I have still got the standard ROM, but I am trying to get Kyrrilos on my phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
No. You have to use ODIN to flash. And the .ops(apollo_0531.ops) you have to select it says "SELECT OPS".
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Oh Kyrillos' ROM!!

For that first you have to download v5.5. There are 2 parts. Download them both in one folder. Then extract only 1st part. Second part will get extracted automatically. You ll then have a .tar file. Then remove SIM and SD. ollow Kyrillos' instructions. Flash and done. :D:D
[Galaxy 3 General] Chickendude:
Or perhaps miuiwiz
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
Any ROMs work well with GPS. I find CM7.1rc very buggy and GPS works terrible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I have just the opposite experience with GPS and CM7. Works great.

What problem exactly are you having?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
Yeap gps on cm7 sucks for me too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
If you're having trouble with your gps, I'd suggest (if you're comfortable doing so) editing your gps.conf. It's located in /system/etc. At the very least, change the ntp servers in gps.conf. If you're not sure what to replace them with (because it's based on region) I'd suggest starting here: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/

Another option, there is a thread made by AngelDeath over in the hd2 android/general forums. It has a bunch of premade gps.conf files divided up into regions. You can always adb push them (or root explorer) to your system/etc folder. (He has cwm zip files, but they won't work on our version of cwm, the hd2 used the older install scripts).

Here's the link to angeldeath's thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630 . If you go this route, you need to unzip the recovery file, go into the system/etc folder in it, and copy the gps.conf to your /system/etc (reasons explained above.)

Good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] facadewithin:
One question about doing this since its region based.

What if I travel to a different region will I have to grab the file and move it for the other region? Or can you like say ...update all regions at once or so
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
It'll still work, it'll just be slower on the initial lock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
the answer for me

was to install the bionix rom! Awesome GPS and rock-solid.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

Am i alone or have someone else likewise problems with fc's no matter what you do?

Today i got this problem just out of the blue....
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Have you changed "Scenes" or the "Skin" on your phone? I had tons of FC issues when I changed to a different scene, and had to do a factory reset to fix it. Not one FC since.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Nope, non of the above... think i must to a factory reset ... bah! :( i was just starting to enjoy my device. :( Even though it backup it self and restores alot from market, it's just half my setting :)

Hope this is a one time thing.

eh ... did you factory reset in the bootloader or within the sense?

Come to think about it, i've just changed my ringtone from zedge today.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
If you do perform a factory reset. Don't jump right in and reinstall all of your apps all at once. There's a good chance that you installed something that hosed everything up. Install your apps on a need be basis. I've seen it time and time again where one app screws everything up. Android gets the same bad rap that windows gets. Windows is actually a very good OS, people just abuse the hell out of it and blame MS.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
You're right, i have just installed thoose apps i KNOW worked from day one.

Thanks for the tip though!
[HTC Sensation] waderaid:
fc solution

I was getting alot of sense force closes and think I have figured out the solution. Goto accounts and delete the htc sense account. I think everytime it trys to sync is when I was getting an fc.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
I think i want to agree with you, yesterday i activated this and then my problem started all over again.

What i remember it was an system app that made the fc and it was java related and something about memory exhausted.

I kept sending thoose reports all night to get their attention :)

I'm not 100% sure, but now when i saw your note here it can be true.

Is it possible to have this account at a manually update to get rid of those fc's?

Or must i delete the account...? I reinstalled the device for the seccond time yesterday because of this :(
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Have you tried using it with the new firmware? :)

I don't dare to do it :)
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
I can confirm now that it works on 1.45 ROM, no fc's.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
this is the transcipt of chat between a guy named Hemant Tailor and HTC customer service UK. he posted on the HTC uk wall... im just copy pasting here....

Hemant Tailor

Conversation with HTC UK support on chat...not looking good for 2.3 update on Desire Z:-

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.

You are currently at position number 4 in the queue.

An agent will be with you in a moment. Thank you for your patience.

You are currently at position number 4 in the queue.

You have been connected to Georgina.

Georgina: Hi hemant, thank you for contacting HTC Support.

hemant tailor: hi gina

Georgina: Currently we do not have a date for when this is going to be released

hemant tailor: i thought it was gonna be by the end of the month

hemant tailor: ....

Georgina: We do not know

Georgina: when we do we will inform all customers

hemant tailor: is scheduled for the desire z

hemant tailor: will the desire z get the 2.3 GB update???

Georgina: it will we just do not know when

hemant tailor: Not impressed.....bye

Georgina: Thank you for contacting us, I hope you have a great day

guys we are just **** out of luck.... all HTC care about is to kiss sprint customers ass... nothing else.... providing updates to Evo Evo 3D and Merge... thats their world... all the other ppl dont matter

Edit: just did live chat myself.... here it is....

Ian: Hi Muneeb, thank you for contacting HTC Support. How may I help you today?

Muneeb : hello

Muneeb : i want to know when should we expect gingerbread update for desire Z

Ian: The update to 2.3 should be available later this year.

Muneeb : previously it was told that the desire Z should get update before end of june . that no longer holds true correct?

Ian: I apologise I am unable to confirm this, I would advise you to look on our website for any updates as to when this is released.

Muneeb : okay.
[G2 and Desire Z General] slapshot30:
Eh, I'm a bit more optimistic. These days, updates and such hardly ever come out at the planned release date. It makes sense from their standpoint to upgrade other phones too. There are so many more people on the Evo than on the G2/DZ for example, so it makes sense to upgrade the devices with the most users. Even if we don't get it officially or it doesn't come for a long time, we will still get custom ROMs with the updates.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
the Dev community is the only reason im still using my desire Z . but this is definitively my last HTC device for sure..... i rather go with a developer edition phone (nexus series) next time.. or get myself nokia powered windows phone 7....(if they bring out some really really sweet hardware like the Sea Ray)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnemoch:
I can't live without the HTC Dialer. I like the Mail app much better too than stock. And there is massive dev support; I don't really see a downside to a HTC phone.

I am happily running Virtuous Unity 1.26 and its pretty near perfect!
[G2 and Desire Z General] slapshot30:
You think HTC is bad with updates? Good luck with any other brand, much much worse.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Not to mention that HTC don't seem to tell the customer service anything regarding future updates. This has happened time again.

Ps, I've also had the "updates from other brands" rant many a time.. HTC are one of the better ones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JayXL14:
This is a bit of a letdown, but I know we'll get some nice ROMs for the Desire Z, so I'm not that worried.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fade2black101:
Is it true that, from a developers point of view, being able to use an official HTC gingerbread rom will make for a much more stable foundation for future custom roms? That's always been the main reason why I've been hoping HTC release this update even though we currently have custom gingerbread roms.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Exanimus:
Actually i am starting to lose faith about Htc's software division.

I credit them for making incredibly good phones, but their software division seems not to be the best. For example: They said on their Facebook page that they had abandoned the work on getting 2.3 on the old Desire, and when alot of people (including me) commented on that post about that people at XDA-Developers had gotten 2.3 to work on the old Desire several months ago, then Htc went out with "We WILL release 2.3 for the Desire, we started working on it again"

That made me doubt their competence in the software area...

and also i read that: Htc are only obliged to send out OTA updates the first 18 months after a product is released, so if the model you bought is more than 18 months, then you shouldn't be so sure to get any updates at all =/

btw, why wait for an official 2.3 when there is several good working 2.3 roms here at xda?
[Galaxy 3 General] rahulgaba16:
hey there !

[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
i dont think that apps would work if you put it on any other rom, particulary 2.2

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] otorinopiotti:
Hi everyone,

this is my first post in this board but I'm reading here since two years. I have a HTC Viva which gave me a lot of satisfaction, but recently I bought an Iphone 4 so I left Viva behind.

Now I decided to update it and I flashed a new cooked rom bringed on this board....but I'm interested to verify if some rumors read on the web that there will be an update for all win6.1/6.5 smartphone to win7 on July it's true, and in case....have our device enough power to run win7 without problems?

Thanks to all in advance. Rgds.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Doplgangr:
Where did you get that information? It would be excellent if it is true....

But there have also been rumors that win7 requires at least 1GHZ to run... So Opal is certainly not capable.

But if somehow Microsoft manages to upgrade that, i'll be yelling Hallelujah!
[Fascinate General] mailaliasgar:
It's possible to break out of your Verizon Wireless contract in the next 60 days without paying an early termination fee because they're increasing the "regulatory fee" they charge customers from $.13 to $.16. This is what is known as a "materially adverse change of contract" and by standard contract law, it renders the contract void if one of the parties doesn't like the change.

More information at Fatwallet and consumerist.com.

Hope this helps :)
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
Yes thanks. I read that on phandroid yesterday, have been thinking about it.
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
So a few questions if anyone has gone this route in the past:

What is the process to follow to do this? Do you just walk in and ask to be let out of your contract?

Are there any negative consequences if you decide in the future to go back to Verizon?

If you break the contract, can you remain with VZW until you purchase another phone/plan from someone else (Sprint)?
[Fascinate General] Jmatch:
Dumb question. but if you do this can you sighn up for another 2 year contract for the discount on a new phone.
[Fascinate General] lordnikko:
Breaking the ETF does not entitle you to an upgrade on your equipment. So basically you would have to start a new line of service if you do not have an upgrade. This means losing your current mobile number, and possibly paying additional activation fees/pro-ration on your next bill. If you do not care about losing your current mobile number, I say go for it.

The primary benefit I see in this is if you are already planning on switching carriers, and are currently under contract.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
Monthly bill with verizion is getting too much for me especially since a lot of my family members are wishing to get smartphones.

This will be useful for me as I do not wish to pay 600 dollar to end the contract of 4 phones.
[Fascinate General] Smeed:
I did this yesterday. It took five minutes and was probably the easiest call I had with Verizon ever. I'm glad I don't have to give them another cent. I was told I wouldn't be able to continue paying month by month on the line but I'm not sure about signing another agreement. I wouldn't be surprised if they denied you.

Anyone want to buy a Fascinate?
[Fascinate General] fortesquieu:
Could you shed some lights on your conversation? eg how you started and what did they say?

Thanks
[Fascinate General] Smeed:
I called and went straight to retention (I can't remember if I called the usual customer support number or the 1-888 number on the bill but either way it shouldn't matter). A woman picked up and I said I'd like to cancel my cell service because of the increase in the Regulatory Charge. She asked if they were indeed raising the price so I read the "Notice of Change To Regulatory Charge" from my bill. She asked when I received notice of this and I told her it was on my current bill. She asked if there was anyone else I'd rather just transfer the line to, I said no. Somehow I ended up reading her the bold part from the second paragraph below. She asked me if I was planning on taking the number to a different carrier, I said yes. She told me the ETF would show up on my bill with a credit, the line was being disconnected (I assume at the end of the current billing cycle) and that I'd be unable to continue paying month by month on that line because of how I was canceling.

I don't recall her even talking to a supervisor. I had the following copied straight from the user agreement just in case though.

An hour later I left the Sprint store with my number, a $125 credit for leaving verizon and an HTC Evo 3D.

What Charges Are Set by Verizon Wireless?

You agree to pay all access, usage and other charges that you or the user of your wireless device incurred. For Postpay Service, our charges also include Federal Universal Service, Regulatory and Administrative Charges, and we may also include other charges related to our governmental costs. We set these charges; they aren't taxes, they aren't required by law, they are kept by us in whole or in part, and the amounts and what they pay for may change.

Can Verizon Wireless Change This Agreement or My Service?

We may change prices or any other term of your Service or this agreement at any time,but we'll provide notice first, including written notice if you have Postpay Service. If you use your Service after the change takes effect, that means you're accepting the change. If you're a Postpay customer and a change to your Plan or this agreement has a material adverse effect on you, you can cancel the line of Service that has been affected within 60 days of receiving the notice with no early termination fee.
[Fascinate General] jordanzink:
anyone tried this and been able to open a new account with verizon for a new phone?

also, if I do that, any way I can keep my same number for an extra fee?
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
I highly doubt you could. Think about it: You're canceling your account completely due to the increase. Then you try to open a new account?
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
You could do this in a very roundabout way, particularly if you're not the primary line on a family plan.

If it's just you, they will make you wait at least 45 (that's what Sprint does) days (VZ could be 60 or even 75, I can't remember) days before you can sign up with them again.

If you want to save some $ and wait it out (when you come back in, you wouldn't be on unlimited, though), you could port your #(s) off to a prepaid carrier (Net10, TracFone, etc) and let it sit there while the waiting period runs out.

If you're planning on staying with Verizon, it's totally not worth it. If you've been looking to jump to Sprint (cheaper) or AT&T/T-Moble (LAWL), then it's a great time to do so.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
Yeah, the only reason you should even consider doing this is if you'd been thinking about switching to Sprint at the end of your contract anyways (for the savings).

'Cause if you think Verizon is bad, just wait until you try AT&T or T-Mobile.
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
Looks like I am switching to sprint. OK to wait 2 weeks to do this, or will it be too late by then?

Evo 3d or epic 4g... Decisions, decisions...
[Fascinate General] anoninja118:
I believe you have 60 days, though I don't know the start day of that 60 day period. I think I read July 1st somewhere...

tapatalked from my KangBanged Fascinate
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
No competition there: the Epic 4G was meant to compete with the original Evo 4G and is thoroughly outclassed by the Evo 3D (single-core 1ghz vs. dual-core 1.2ghz, 512mb vs 1gb RAM, etc.).

The Nexus S 4G, while still a 1ghz single-core/512mb RAM device, is much newer, has some extras like NFC, and is a pure Google phone (read: instant updates) so it would be a far better second option.
[Fascinate General] svscott26:
Does anyone know if this took effect? I know it was scheduled for July 1st, but verizon may have found a way around it does anyone have the facts?
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
If I could somehow use this to get an upgrade without using my new every two upgrade, that'd be awesome. But I doubt it.
[Fascinate General] plantroller:
I just got off the phone with Verizon and they said I could not cancel without paying the ETF fee. Any ideas?
[Fascinate General] GrainOsand:
Did you ask to speak with a manager? Did you read the article from OP? They give plenty of pointers in the consumerist article.....
