[Nexus S General] croques:
Totally agree with Sygic for off route mapping. As a matter of choice I would use Google maps accepting that sometimes it throws a routing 'googly' (no pun intended; UK cricketing term for a ball breaking in an unexpected direction)

I've tried several routing apps; the best test I have is to deliberately drive off route for several miles and see what happens. Co-pilot is useless; it tries to send you back to the former route for several miles before accepting the obvious. Also routing is not by the most direct but by the most major roads with no user choice. It even at misses the chance of significant cut throughs from one major road to another thus cutting off a corner in a route. And that costs you money in petrol.

Sygic copes better when forced to re-route but its routes tend to be major roads only too - a bit like a cheap map. I tried others but they have faded from my memory on account of their insignificance. I think there might have been a free one using open source maps or maybe that was just for mapping and not routing - I can't remember. All I do recall is that open source maps perhaps will be fine in years to come, but at the moment they are incomplete. And Sod's Law say they never have the bits you need.

No routing app seem to realise you've arrived and simply stop themselves from further routing advice. Try driving to a destination stopping for a few minutes, leave the app running, and then driving away. Every single one of the blasted apps will try to send you back to where you've just been. :eek: What's so difficult about an automatic program stop?

I like how Google switches to street view when you've arrrived at a destination; that's pretty cool.

Anyway, look around for Sygic torrents and run your own field tests over an extended period. Only pay when YOU'RE convinced it's value for money. Prices are crazy and reflect the days when you had to buy the program on a micro SD card! Now its all electronic distribution - costs could fall to a third - but companies are greedy. Maybe they'll learn. But if the music industry is anything to go by - probably they won't.

Correct. Google Navigation is not an offline navigation app so this won't work for me. With Google Labs shutting down this could mean that true offline navigation may not come to Google Navigation anytime soon. I've tried Navigon, but it's very, very buggy on the Nexus S 4G phone. If I plan my route with Navigon and go to the Home screen to start Pandora Music, then when I go back to Navigon I have to start over and replan my route. Otherwise I get this female voice with no TTS that sounds like Rupaul.

Has any one come across this kind of app. IT was free app BTW. I downloaded from market place and unfortunately I cant find out thename

thank you
[Galaxy S II General] king_dani:
medscape? epocrates? skyscape MedRx? it could be anything, go to market, and then apps,medical, and try top free apps there.

Should I flash the gingerbread leaks!??! Or should i just stick with kd1?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Up to you, man. Completely.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Totally up to you, but performance wise either one is fine on stock.

Might be a bit easier right now to stick with KD1; Krylon360 will be releasing CM7 (CyanogenMod7) within a week or two.

If you are just itching to explore a bit, you can also just root your stock KD1 and mess around with that until a newer GB leak comes out.

I came across a game today that was an old favorite of mine. Called Death Rally, do some of you remember this game? Its playable on windows, and I think theres a port of it or a similar game for wm. Does anybody know of a game that similar for Android, Or even a remote possibility of someone porting a game like that for the android platform... probably a lot to ask I know!! Its just this game was epic back in its day and I would love to see this type of game on android, make for one really cool game. Maybe there's somebody here that can help me out?

My HD2 vibrates 7 times when turning on and it is stuck on "Stick Together".

Problem is definetly HARDWARE and heat related; because If I put the phone in the fridge it will work properly until it gets hot.

So...

Any way to fix this? Maybe reflowing the IC?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
I have had several instances where I get dropped because my IP changed. I thought it could be a signal problem so used open signal maps to find my tower but also noticed that there may be a more powerful antenna behind the one that I normally use. This signal took over until I made it home.

So I am thinking that if I could keep only 1 tower or install a proxy that I might be able to fix this problem. I still need more testing and/or other ideas to make this testing more conclusive. I can say that everytime I have a problem the network connection and speeds look good.

Anybody else or ideas?

I believe all of this is resolved in the leaked Atrix gingerbread beta update.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
Yay! It works... but it looks like crap

At least on my Atrix it looks like crap.

I own a Atrix (AT&T) as well as a Droid X (Verizon) and I have Netflix running (from the Market) on both phones. Side by side the video on the Droid X phone looks nice and sharp without blocky pixelation and it's only a 3G phone. But the same video on my Atrix which is supposed to be 4G takes forever to load a video and then when it finally plays the picture looks terrible with horrible pixelation to the point where I can barely make out what it is I am looking at.

I am running stock FroYo on the Atrix without any tweaks. What is the deal with this phone? Is it the phone or the network? The Atrix shows 3 bars at my house (whereas my Droid X shows 4 bars) so it looks like it's got a good signal to the tower but the network speed is really terrible.

I was so excited to get an Atrix (since I have a tablet that has a Tegra 2 chip in it as well and LOVE it) but after owning this phone for a week I have to say I am beginning to regret getting it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] rabbitsgotmail:
I'm running 1.57 gladatrix. Haven't updated to newer 1.83 radio yet or gingerbread. Newest netflix runs excellent on wifi and 3/4g. Takes 6 seconds to buffer then plays uninterrupted when has good cell reception. Tested data speed at 1.8mb/s.

Have watched over 10 movie/episodes so far no problems. First 10 seconds a little pixalated then great quality after that.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] barry99705:
I'll give you a hint, both phones are 3G... It looks like crap on my Atrix as well.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] rabbitsgotmail:
I have a movie on memory encoded at 640x480 1200kbs and the netflix streamed version is perceptualy similar after 10 seconds of initial pixelation then holds steady at good quality without interruption. That's on 3g with good reception.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
It's not the phone; it's the network.

I've found out it's the AT&T network. When I posted my rant earlier I found by using the Speedtest.net android app I was only getting around 200kbps (yup, you're reading this right) downstream on my 4G Atrix. When I tried after 7 p.m. local time the speeds improved to between 1.2mbps to 3mbps. So, at the moment, the Netflix app is playing pretty smoothly on my Atrix.

This is my work phone (paid for by work) and I traded in my iPhone 4 for it because it's an android phone (friendly to rooting/customizing) and it's got the two things I've been waiting for in a new android phone (dual-core AND 4G). All in all I'm pretty happy with the phone (wish the screen was bigger) but really unhappy with AT&T's network.

My personal phone is a Droid X on Verizon Wireless which I've had since the midnight launch about a year ago and I've enjoy it rooted and on the Verizon's dependable network - I love this phone. But time moves on and they are about to release the Droid Bionic which is the first dual-core/4G phone on Verizon. I think it drops in a month and I'll be waiting in line to get it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] barry99705:
It still runs like crap on my Atrix, on wifi. Running stock, no root, no hacks. I get about 12Mbps down on wifi with this rom.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyromanx55:
Alright, well my friend has a Desire Z (Bell version) that works with AT&T 3G. We are in New Jersey, getting about 2.5 DL and 0.9 UL.

I'm assuming this is normal and/or good.

Anyway, he had an iPhone 4 originally, so he got a microSIM adapter and put the microSIM into the Desire Z. I think the speeds are good.

He is wondering about getting the media-net plan. However, he has the grandfathered $30 unlimited so doesn't want to risk losing it.

Currently, with the microSIM in the Desire Z, the image for a phone on att.com is a generic phone that isn't colored. It says "Add your device/is this your device". So it changed from the image of iPhone 4 into a generic one, and is asking me to fill in what kind of phone it is.

I am assuming this is a good sign? I have an AT&T phone lying around somewhere, so I can always put the microSIM into that, get the media-net, and THEN put into the Desire Z. However, will this work based on the info I gave?

---

I am hoping that you tell me in response to the top portion that yes, I can use the media-net plan. If so, all is good.

HOWEVER, is there a way they can figure it out? (I know what happened to the Nexus One users, they got the IMEIs.) Is there a way I can prevent this by flashing a new radio or whatever (rooted Desire Z).

I don't want to change the IMEI obviously.

Thanks, and sorry for long post! Please help!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It should work, but its not a 100% sure thing that AT&T will not be able to figure out you have a smartphone. Basically, if your phone is not AT&T branded, they don't have the IMEI in their database. They don't seem to be able to read what phone my Desire Z is (but I'm on the smartphone data plan, not MediaNet). But its still possible that they can determine you are using a smartphone, or maybe assume so from the amount of data usage.

If they try to put you on a smartphone plan, you can call them and say you have a dumbphone, and see if they can prove otherwise. Worst case, you can slip your SIM back into your old dumbphone and have them remove the data plan or put you back on MediaNet. So its worth at least trying.

I've read at least one Nexus One user, whose phone was being incorrectly read as a Blackberry. Maybe AT&T has now obtained the IMEI numbers for the Nexus One. But also remember that Nexus One is approved for use on AT&T, even if it wasn't sold by them.

Changing your radio doesn't do anthing as far at AT&T being able to read the IMEI. And from what I've read, there is no legal way to change your IMEI (as you may already know).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
I have Desire Z with the Media Net plan, but the plan was already on my account when I purchased and device and began using it.

I use anywhere from 500-800mb a month of data and haven't heard anything from AT&T about having to move to a 'smartphone' data plan (I have used a Blackberry Pearl, Bold, HTC Fuze and Nokia E71 under the Media Net plan without hearing from them).

I agree with the above post that its up to them to prove that you're using a smartphone and I'm not sure if they can positively prove that beyond a doubt.

One thing to remember though is that if the Iphone 4 was purchased along with a contract, he is contracted to pay the full data plan for the Iphone until the contract period ends. If he bought it full price or from a 3rd party, then he should be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyromanx55:
Thanks for all the replies. gbarayah, I agree with everything you say, or at least appreciate it, except the last statement.

You aren't required to pay the full data plan for the duration of the contract if you don't have the iPhone 4 anymore. You can simply say you lost it or sold it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
Wish I had known that before! My GF had a 3GS that she lost and was told that whether or not she replaced it with an Iphone, she would have to keep the data plan on her account =/ sounded fishy to me at the time too but we didn't really fight it, just got her a new phone...

For an alternative guide check out post #84 by zervic in THIS Thread

Requirements you must have:

*All Drivers installed on Windows PC (See Aria Superthread)

*Aria S/W v2.2.2 (either from the Update RUU or Factory Shipped)

***WARNING*** Installing the Aria Update RUU will format the phone. Any info not backed up will be lost. SD Card is not affected

---If you have ClockworkMod installed you can make a Nandroid backup which can be restored later

*HBOOT 1.02 (installs with the Update RUU)

Difficulty Level= Medium/Some experience required

How To S-Off

-If you have s/w version 2.1 or Custom ROM follow installation instructions for Un-Rooting in the Aria Superthread

if needed: Download ATT Aria Shipping ROM 2.2.2

1- Make sure USB Debugging is checked in Applications/Development

2- Go to Revolutionary Website and click "Download For Windows". a form will pop up which we will fill out later

3- Save file to PC and keep web page open

4- Plug in phone with data cable then run downloaded program Alpharevx.exe

[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Thanks for creating a guide.

Just wanted to point out that this step is OPTIONAL. This will allow you to acquire root with your default, stock ROM. However, if you intend to install a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, Liberated, etc.) then you should just skip this step entirely and go straight to installing the ROM of your choice.
