[Thunderbolt General] Boss428man:
Attacked those thieves with the Thunder... That is a great story man glad you got your car back that's the most important part.

Question.. How did you push the app to your phone and install it for future reference?

Never mind, figured it out never knew you could install apps from the market with a browser that's really cool man thanks for the insight!!
[Thunderbolt General] worwig:
You don't know how to use it.

That is 100% certain to be cell location services, not GPS. Very different things.

Try using the app 'GPS Status' outdoors.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
That isn't saying much. My 94 yr old grandmother with dementia & cataracts has a better sense of direction than my old Captivate.
[Thunderbolt General] worwig:
Google "lookout plan B".

It can be installed AFTER the phone is lost. Pretty cool.

You know if you download the HTC app it already has a location system. It works well. It even works with the phone off. Don't ask me how but I tested it out. I'm sure battery needs to be good.

My gps locks on in just a few seconds. Very quick and accurate.

[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
My GPS had been jacked up for weeks. It took 3 minutes to get a lock. I tried EVERYTHING to fix it. Finally I broke down and did a factory reset and now it locks on within seconds.

My friend's also takes 3 minutes to lock on. He doesnt want to reset and take the time to set up his phone again though.

Did you end up having the pay that towing fee?
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
Don't worry ;)

Yessir, not so bad though. $85 for the towing and $20 for the one night of storage. Lazy ass impound lot owners didn't show up until about noon and I got dropped off there at 8 AM when they claim to open at 8:30 AM.
[Thunderbolt General] ajacksonkid:
Wow definitely lucky....i virtually never leave my phone in the car.
[Thunderbolt General] oc3rulz:
congrats on getting the car back, I love the market for being able to push apps to the phone.

My GPS usually takes 1-2min to actually lock on when i turn it on, but otherwise works great.

Gratz on getting your car/phone back!

Hello everyone I am having problems with my GPS...this is my second thunderbolt and its still facing the same GPS problems...I tried to use GPs status and my location is still way off..GPs Status only works sometimes...funny thing is when I use Wifi Gps is dead on..Can anybody help me out? thanks
[Thunderbolt General] dustinshepard:
Plan B

Wow thats awesome!
[Thunderbolt General] EmmVeePee:
Great story... but how did they steal your car while you just ran in to get cigs? I don't see how they could break in and "hotwire" it within 1-2 minutes while you were 20 feet away... or did you get mugged for your keys?

I know its a bit OT, but I'm just curious as to how they managed this feat.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
If he just ran in for cigs he may have left the keys in the car, if thats the case an insurance company would deny the claim.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
GPS doesn't suck on Tbolt. I'm in my apartment right now, turned on GPS, and it took a little bit to lock. Downloaded GPS Status, downloaded GPS assistance, locked in litterally 1 second.
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
Congrats on getting your car back! Gotta love the versatility of these phones!
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
Wow that's pretty damn sweet! Good thing we can install apps via OTA and don't need to do it from the phone itself or through a USB cable like some other devices!! ;)
[Thunderbolt General] DoctorZaius68:
I going to assume that he left the car running.
[Thunderbolt General] TDubKong:
plan B is free. You download it after you lose your phone
[Thunderbolt General] FYDave:
Hm, is there anything I could do to improve the speed of my GPS lock on? I flashed the MR2 radio the other day and it still seems to take just as long as it did prior to flashing to the new radio.
[Thunderbolt General] brizey:
I think a lot of people here do not understand how to use GPS Status to improve your GPS lock time. You do not just turn it on a let it get a lock. You have to go to Menu/Tools/Manage A-GPS state. Then hit download. Then wait for it to get a lock. Should be very fast if you are in a reasonable location.

Cell phones in general use A-GPS, which is assisted GPS. It uses network information to get a coarse location then uses GPS to refine the location. Think of it like a viewfinder on a telescope--first you get in the ballpark with the viewfinder, then you refine your search with the more powerful telescope.

It is my theory that the phone stores this info with the radio, not the ROM, so it does not get wiped when flashing, which explains why the flash to sense ROM trick works. It is also my theory that while the radio stores the information, the ROM generates it, and the AOSP ROMS do not due it properly, but GPS Status does. This is just me making a guess based on behavior, not actually knowing the code, so I could be wrong.
[Thunderbolt General] EmmVeePee:
Wow... what kind of retard would do that? That's gotta be the stupidest thing you could ever do...
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
People do it all the time, I had two of my girlfriends have their wallets/purses stolen while they ran into a convenient store to just grab a quick drink and snack. The car wasn't running, but it was unlocked and their stuff was right there for the world to see. They learned from it, as I'm sure the OP has also learned a lesson.

OP .... maybe this is a "it's time to quit smoking" omen :-)

Seriously, very glad you got your ride back, as another poster mentioned your insurance may have denied your claim. THAT would suck. Thanks for the info on Plan B - going to look into that!

Might have some luck with the Samsung network profile tool. It does handle registry edits since it can setup for mms,etc. Read somewhere it uses provxml also. Not sure of the name it need to be and would have no way to test it.

Do samsungs have access to read/write to the windows directory?

Got a rather random question for ppls here...

Recently completed a 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle - 28.75" x 39" (~73.03cm x 99.06cm)... but don't really know how to 'display' it.

I believe on choice is to "glue" it together with puzzle glue on the front and then frame it with something similar to a picture frame.

Was wondering if there are other alternatives, since I would imagine a picture frame of that size would be fairly heavy. Was hoping there might be something similar to "laminating" it? Anyone have any ideas?
[Off-topic] 4silvertooth:
We will help as soon as u post the picture of the work, promise.
[Off-topic] pyko:
lols riteo, here's a not-so-glamourous photo of the completed jigsaw:
[Off-topic] 4silvertooth:
Don't laminate,because the gap between the puzzle pieces will not laminate and it will look blurred. And will look weired.

Glue it. Don't do anything in front.

There are this sticky sheets available,Peel of the butter paper on sticky side and place the whole puzzle on that if u can.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
In the box that the puzzle came with, shoved where the sun doesn't shine on the person who expected you to finish it.

Sorry, ADHD kicked in and I hate puzzles.

Carry on.
[Off-topic] pyko:
yeah, wasn't planning on laminating it... but was hoping there would be something similar.

afaik, glueing is at the front? with "puzzle glue" ?

had a quick look for puzzle-sticky sheets... seems like "Puzzle Presto" is what keeps popping up. though my initial search seems to lead to a dead-end as Australia doesn't seem to sell "Puzzle Presto" :(

any more ideas?

Hi all, Got a Desire HD and a radio control helicopter (Trex 500).

Would like to be able to look at the heli in flight with the camera (in video mode is ok) and see what speed the rotors are spinning at.

All that's required is a method of adjusting the camera shutter speed while pointing at the heli until the blades look stationary. (Maybe use the volume rocker for adjustment)

Also a little routine to put the revolution figures on screen.

The heli blades should spin at about 2700rpm but for a wider variety of helis, would like to read a range from about 1900 to 3200 rpm.

A shutter harmonic frequency could be used as I dont think the shutter can operate at these speeds.

There are units available that use this method... But the mobile phone with camera already has the hardware needed. Just need a little bit of programming, I'm guessing.

If anyone can help i'm sure there would be a lot of interest from various fields....

Feedback on the idea welcome.....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciksas:
I need help with identifying the problem why my proximity sensor isnt working. This gets annoying because my phone turns the screen off when making a call and you can turn it back on since it thinks something is all the time in front of it. Is it maybe dust? On which side is the sensor located? Is there any software update for a proximity sensor?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciksas:
If I type in *#*#0588#*#* that runs the proximity sensor test. The screeen goes green, vibrates and stays on 1 all the time( doesnt flick between 1 and 0 if I i move it). What can I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natsirt789:
I've got a problem with mine aswell. It is always 0 in the test (it can't sense if i put anything over it).

It use to work but suddenly sort of died. I'm not sure what the problem is too but I would like a fix if anyone can come up with one :(

Funny thing though, my proximity sensor worked fine for 1 call this afternoon, but failed again soon after. :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciksas:
Looks like this is one big riddle for the samsung galaxy users. :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natsirt789:
I made a discovery.. If i shone a bright light on my sensor and held it really close to it (like 0.5-1cm away) then the proximity sensor would react and say something is covering it. Only works with a bright light though :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciksas:
How bright is that light? May I ask you what are the other 3 values of your sensors?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natsirt789:
hmm it was the flash from my digital camera. I think any decent light would work. Try a torch, if that doesn't work try something a bit brighter.

As for the values, which 3 values do u mean?? sorry
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciksas:
Light, magnetic, accelerometer.

Which rom do you have?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natsirt789:
oh, the values for accelerometer work fine, the xyz values react as they should when i move the phone.

Light sensor goes as high as 15000 lux when I shine the light on it.

Magnet sensor: 2 and the xyz change and react as they should. same with Azimuth Pitch and Roll.

As for the rom, I'm on darky's 10.1 Extreme Edition
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciksas:
As I thought my light sensor is also faulty. It goes only from 0-22lux :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcosta76:
My solution

I don't know if this helps, I had a similar problem.. After i made a call my screen would not auto turn back on for me to disconnect the call.

It may have been coincidence, but after i disconnected "Increase volume in pocket", everything started working properly again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciksas:
