What find works the best (though not on everybody) is saying (after they are perplexedly looking at the phone) "Don't look AT the phone, look THROUGH the phone" as I point at a point beyond the phone...

...that works _most_ of the time, though not all. Some people cannot be helped.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Amphibliam:
I would check your local Verizon store especially in MA, because I just walked into my local one and they had the speck candshell red and black case for $4! They also had a whole bunch of stuff for the Fascinate, Continuum, LG Ally, Droid 2, and Droid X.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] solarpolitiks:
Yeah, the same deal was available online with free 2 day shipping.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Amphibliam:
Yeah, just saw that thread. :/
[Droid Incredible Accessories] omgi0wn:
Just ordered one online with free 2 day shipping! Thanks!!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jayochs:
The case is cool and all...but holyhell does it scratch like a mofo...the back looks awful now haha oh well maybe i get another! Just for the hell of it lol
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jblack55:
The case is really nice, but beware, after 1 day at work on the desk the glossy back was completely destroyed. Looked like i dragged it down the beach...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] omgi0wn:
Haha damn, is there any way to prevent it from scratching like everyone says it does?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jayochs:
buy as many as you can and keep replacing them? lol it's gonna scratch no matter what...damn thing lol
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Amphibliam:
Yeah, that case would scratch on velvet. And also, the buttons are a ***** to press.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] carngeX:
Spray some acrylic or something on the back to give it an extra coat of protection.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jayochs:
anyone else switch back to their old cases or anything? haha i had this speck for about 2 weeks, and idk, i'm sick of it. the scratches just look TERRIBLE on the back, and for me it was impossible to get the phone outta the case each time (the phone would come out, but the damn battery cover would stay in htere and take forever to get out!)

idk, and the red outlining looked so damn awful and ugly...i'm happy to be back to my black gel silicone case...now i hope those go on sale, bc mines a year old, and i could use a new one!
[Vega Accessories] geekyhawkes:
Pretty much as per the title really guys, trackpad would be ace as well but might be pushing it I guess. I've not had any luck finding a decent case yet at all!

[Defy General] hartmuna:
Hi there,

first: sorry for the 1.000.000th thread about the GPS sat fix on the DEFY, but I have tried several ROMs now and still have not found the solution for my problem. :(

The problem is: my DEFY does not get a GPS sat fix when data connection is turned off (e.g. roaming or turned off manually). In GPS Status I see up to ten satellites (in grey or sometimes yellow colour) but even after hours I do not get the fix. When I turn on the data connection (either 3G or wifi) I get the fix in few seconds.

I have tried several ROMs now from Froyo, over Gingerbread to now CM7 RC0, but all show the same behaviour. I have recently downloaded the GPS fix from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630 but it did not help at all.

I have deleted the /data/location folder, reseted the aGPS data several times, nothing got better.

I feel like sending the DEFY in for repair but then Motorola will check it with aGPS and send it back unrepaired because everything works. :rolleyes:

So, if anybody has a solution or hint I woul appreciate it very much. :o

Thanks in advance...
[Defy General] Shubhamqweasd:
HMM !

Same problem here :mad::confused:
[Defy General] jaoyina:
it is true, without agps data, very difficult to get fixed. That's why we need agps.
[Defy General] teruyume:
I have CM7, with GPS Monitor Free and AngelDeath's GPS fix 1.2.zip installed, I am able to get GPS lock in couple minutes without any Data (on fresh restart).

Give it a shot
[Defy General] hartmuna:
GPS Monitor does not solve the problem

Hi there.

@teruyume

GPS Monitor did not help, it shows the same behaviour as GPS Status. Finds many satellites but does not fix! :mad:

Can anybody check if he has data in the folder

/data/location

? I deleted it as stated in the FAQ for CM7 and the folder is not yet recreated. Might this be a hint?

I really cannot tell what the problem is: good reception (10 satellites) but no fix. :confused:
[Defy General] Brent099:
I have also been having trouble with GPS on the Defy. It will get a fix very quickly but moving the phone will cause it to lose its fix. It will go from having a lock on 8/10 sats to 0/1 to 4/5, etc. It won't hold the lock for long. I tried AngelDeath's GPS fix 1.2.zip and that helped speed up fixes, but it still drops the fix if the phone is moved at all.

@hartmuna

I made a backup of /data/location and then deleted its contents (not the folder itselft). Then I got no lock at all. I rebooted the phone and it automatically repopulated the folder and began performing the same as it did before. You might want to create the /data/location folder and just leave it blank, then reboot the phone and see if it will populate it again.

I also took a look at location.cfg and noticed a lot of settings in there that might be worth tweaking, but I have no idea what they all mean.
[Defy General] hartmuna:
I found the data/location folder with terminal,don't know why it doesn't sure vida astro. deleted it again but that doesn't solve the problem.

I think I might give official gingerbread 2.3.4 a chance after the weekend. hopefully this will help?!?

Does anybody have experience with the leaked 2.3.4 and gps?
[Defy General] truva55:
I also had little problems to have the fix. And when I got (after several minutes) it loses during driving. The accuracy was too bad.

on CM7 rc1v2.
[Defy General] hartmuna:
Anybody without GPS problems?

Hey guys, still no solution here. Tried every ROM out there. :confused:

One question:

is anybody out there who does not have any problems with GPS fix without aGPS?

I am thinking of sending the DEFY in for repair...
[Defy General] djsebyss:
With JBoogie3's blurry ginger rom I got 5 satellites used in fix in less than a minute (without internet). Try this rom before sending the DEFY in service.
[Defy General] krustbr:
same problem here, using last nighly and the problem still ocurrs, tried GPS-fix from angelofdeath but stil imprecise.

No solutions so far?

--

ive tried the GPS Monitor , he shows the lock, satellites, etc.. but, the gps with a "4 meters precision" put me on another street insted of mine, a mistake of ~50 meters (shows me on a paralel street instead of mine)
[Defy General] henkholland:
My standard Defy (still on Eclair) does fixes without Agps/data connection but after a trip of say 1000 km it can take up to 15 minutes to get a fix.

It also seems to help when I reset the Agps data first through GPS status (app).
[Defy General] hartmuna:
GPS fix when not applying the UPDATE.ZIP

News from my side: I updated to CM 7 RC1v2 and this time

did not

apply the UPDATE.ZIP for my country described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630

And after few minutes I finally got a fix without aGPS data! :D

So my suspect is now the modified gps.conf. The original one is very short a has basically just the reference to the NTP and google aGPS server. The modified has far more lines that I have not yet studied in detail.

So, I will check the line of the gps.conf and try to find out what affects the GPS of the DEFY no to work...

Greetings from a happier DEFY user :p
[Defy General] Brent099:
That is good news. Would you be willing to copy/paste what is in your gps.conf file so that I can try updating mine without reflashing CM 7 and see if that solves my problem?
[Defy General] hartmuna:
Sure, you will find the original.zip with the not modified gps.conf and then I installed the europe.zip from the above mentioned thread.

So far I am able to get a fix but for my patience it takes much too long. :rolleyes: I am afraid that the GPS antenna of the DEFY is crappy. :(

Will do some more testing, any additional info is very welcome...

[Flipout and Charm General] shugs81:
well.. whatever I managed to do it scewed my phone in odd ways...

for some reason the time on sms seems to be different from the general clock time and also the home key no longer works...

I can't download apps from the market and any downloaded apps (i.e. not ones preinstalled) don't generally seem to work...

All I'd done is reflashed with the non motoblur rom... which still has loads of the software on... and tried app2card... which didn't work... i then tried link2sd which seemed to work but then didn't... that's when all the problems started...

Should i just reflash my phone with the same motoblur-less rom and reformat the sd card with 2 fat32 partitions (I really can't be chewed with trying to get the ext2 support thing added...) and try link2sd straight off without anything else... would that work????
[Flipout and Charm General] silent_bob52637:
idk but it could work give it a try and let us know what happens
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
I heard of (actually had) problems like these with app2card in the later versions. My solution was a reflash. I'm using link2sd (which till now seems more stable than app2card - I only had one severe reboot loop early on, and now I've been stable for several months)

Yes, I would. I did.
[Flipout and Charm General] shugs81:
yeah i did that and tried link2sd... works fine...

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nera7:
I've been trying to read the MSL from a Verizon HTC Eris.

I followed all the directions here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=697487 ), but it gave me the same error as midnigh7 got, and restarting the phone didn't work. When I checked the box nearby, it did give me a 4 digit code.

So I tried using MSL reader, and that also failed.

I then tried putting in the terminal commands mentioned, and there was no entry containing "MSL"

I then recalled reading that verizon sometimes has all 0's.

So I 'called' ##PROGRAM# , and when it asked for a password, the previously mentioned 4 digit code was not correct, but 000000 was.

Is my MSL 000000 ?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MongooseHelix:
Verizon apparently uses 000000 as a universal MSL for their devices.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fordkiller:
Yes that's right all Verizon MSL codes are 000000
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phone_cell:
Mongoose, What does unlocking MSL allow one to do? What are the risks involved?

Thanks,
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MongooseHelix:
From my understanding, the MSL is a password of sorts needed to perform certain dialer code actions and such. I've never had occasion to do anything where I needed to use the MSL so I can't really say what all people use it for. I think one thing some Sprint customers use it for is to modify their phone to roam on Verizon.

[Android Software Development] user_000:
I am new to programming Java. Can anyone help me with source code for a simple android app that copies one file from sdcard to any directory in Phone. I have eclipse and emulator setup for testing.

cheers
[Android Software Development] :
Im not into java... but you could write a small bash script!

Bashs can be run from a terminal (connectbot, irrsi, ssh-server)

Or you simply use the app (GScript), where you can add your own scripts and run them just with 1 click!

#!/system/bin/sh

file=/sdcard/FOLDER_OF_FILE/FILES_I_WANT_TO_COPY
target=/TARGET_FOR_FILE

cp -frv $file $target

Hope I could help you...
[Android Software Development] eatmold:
I would try searching stackoverflow.com ....

.... be prepared though, file operations in Android are not a quick 2 lines of code.
[Android Software Development] user_000:
Thanks for reply. But i am looking for a pure android app and not script or adb commands via terminal !
[Android Software Development] user_000:
@eatmold

Thanks a lot man, i look forward to see some code soon .....
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
First of all, you can't copy a file to any directory on the phone. The app can only write to directories to which it has permission to write. Second, some parts of the phone can't be written to at all because the filesystem is read-only. Third, file I/O is non-trivial in the dalvik VM. It would take a substantial amount of code to do what you want.

Do you have some goal in mind for this starter project? There is the "Hello World" project at http://developer.android.com if you just want some example code.
[Android Software Development] user_000:
Well the aim is to get an idea of how a very simple app can work on phone. So it can even be copying a file from one directory of SDcard to another directory on SDcard on Phone. And also lets assume that we have the permission to write to any directory on phone (i.e superuser or its writable etc).

Yea 'hello world' is a nice example and on the same lines a simple non-gui app to copy file is what i am looking for. It will give a good overview of how to do some basic I/O operation on phone via android app.

cheers
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
If you want to do this as a Java learning experience, then you'll probably want to handle the file I/O using strictly Java which can be a real pain. Nonetheless, all you need is here:

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/package-summary.html

although, typically things like file I/O are best left to the operating system which is usually more optimized for that sort of thing--especially when the OS is *nix. To leverage the OS to do your dirty work natively, you can use the Runtime class:

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Runtime.html
[Android Software Development] user_000:
Thanks for the references. But interest is to see a working code on an Android device and not Java as a whole. So a simple app source code can be a really good starting point. Hello World is good first example but does not include I/O, so someone with experience can lead the newbies in a good way by showing a simple example.

Come on guys share some experience !

Copy the files back to your PC (if you need to) and reformat it, making sure you do it as FAT32. Then copy the files back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
use your SGS2 to format the sdcard, this should settle problems with filesystem, cluster size, ... then try again. make a backup of your files before you format!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
It's best to format it if you're having issues, especially with something like files appearing/not appearing on different devices.

As suggested by d3l1 above, use the phone to format it. If you still have problems then there are better formatting apps for your PC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
if there are still problems he should test the card and see if it's dying, happens from time to time.

[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
Does anyone of you have experienced a low microphone volume/quality in call conversations?

People from the other side of the phone often tell me they cannot hear me... and this is quite

annoying.

I have read something about a noise cancellation problem. Have you the same problem? Any

SW solution to it? How did you manage it?

Thank you
[HTC Incredible S] PeteFinn:
Yeah, I also hear that often. It started happening after the Gingerbread update. It seems HTC decreased the mic sensitivity to fix the echo problem but they probably went a bit too far.

I just got the 2.30.405.1 OTA update 30 mins ago. Let's hope they've fixed this issue and also the wifi sensitivity problem.
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
Is it a new gingerbread upgrade? I have not received any notification yet!
[HTC Incredible S] PeteFinn:
Nope, it's just a HTC bug fix update. Still waiting for the Gingerbread 2.3.4. According to first comments I've seen the wifi sensitivity problem has now been fixed!

Try the manual update check, that's what I did. If you don't see any updates yet, you'll just have to wait a bit more until HTC's delivery system reaches your region/phone serial number.
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
I tried the manual update, but the upgrade is still not available. No matter, I'll wait. Happy about wi-fi! Any news about the Mic sensitivity?
[HTC Incredible S] PeteFinn:
Not yet on my part. I've answered three calls today and there were no mic problems, but I've gotten used to the problem, so I always try to position the phone so that the mic is close to my mouth. I'll try to be less careful in the future :)

I'm also happy to report that the infamous Dialer process has disappeared from the battery usage list, so that problem has been fixed. Dialer was almost always number 2 right after the display on my list. Now it's completely gone!
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
Mmm, very strange and too bad here in Italy, or better to me, no upgrade is notified or manually reachable yet! Kind of sure anyway the microphone problem will still be present. I haven't read anything on blogs about this type of improvement by the new firmware....
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
Still not available. How this is even possible?

Upset!
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
Solved the firmware upgrade problem this way (thanks to HTC

customer service):

*#*#682#*#*

No big change about call quality...

At the moment I'm trying this:

after using the number *#*#4636#*#*, changed

network settings from WSCDM preferred to gsm auto prl

But I've just did this and not sure the problem is gone.
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
Just to let you know, the phone call is still bad.

I'm from Italy, but the phone was bought on Amazon.co.uk.

My phone model number is S710e, android 2.3.3., firmware is

2.30.405.1, radio module is 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M

I have these problems for the radio module:

My voice is kind of intermittent from the other side of the phone (who listens me)

I can hear echo of my voice

The other side of the phone can hear its own echo

Sometimes connection is lost

Long time for the call to start

I have tried soft reset, updated firmware, set GSM auto (PRL) as network preference, etc.

No solution? I'm thinking of flashing ROM, radio module and whatever... but if the phone is broken, what about warranty loss?
[HTC Incredible S] PeteFinn:
I don't think there's much to do at the moment. Nothing seems to work. All we can do is wait for the 2.3.4 upgrade and hope that it includes also HTC's own firmware tweaks, especially for the abysmal radio module.

I believe they can further adjust the mic/noise cancellation sensitivity and hopefully solve the issue where people on the other end are constantly complaining about disappearing sound.

I'm pretty sure the radio antenna in the back cover is total crap and obviously can't be fixed with software upgrades. A revised back cover with a better antenna would be nice but I doubt it will ever happen, sigh. I'm sick and tired of having to end calls because people are complaining about intolerable echoing on their end. This can happen, if the signal level is even one bar below full.
[HTC Incredible S] jjdoctor:
My friend got Incredible S and he is having the same issue...

Whenever he calls me his volume is too low despite the fact my call volume is full...

He was concerned about it and today I searched for this issue on google and got directed here.

Is this software issue or hardware?

He got 2.3.3 pre installed..
