I'm using my "tracks", it is an pretty good (but simple) app, but it does not do any GPS filtering, så especially data like max speed tend to be incorrect.

There are definately app's to check processes, but I don't know which is the best, I believe System Tuner Pro is good:

I tried Tracker but preferred a more cycling specific app.

Thanks I'll look at that System Tuner app.

Hi Guys

At the end of September, I'll be travelling from the UK to the USA (New York City) for a week's holiday. My question is: what's the best pre-paid SIM to grab locally for a few quick phone calls and some inexpensive data access for google maps navigation, etc round the city?

Or would I be better off ditching Google Maps/Nav and installing a navigation solution that doesn't require data access?

A local SIM is no problem as I'll be using my unlocked SGS2.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Major_Sarcasm:
None of our American friends can advise on this?
[General Questions and Answers] AndyCr15:
I'm wanting to know the same thing.

Just to check though, you do know if it's just for Google Maps, you can download areas of a 10 mile radius in advance?

I'm travelling to California in November and will be looking for a SIM too. I've questioned this seller on eBay -

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300576089037#ht_500wt_1413

It looks like he'll load some credit onto a SIM and send it to you in the UK. $28.49 (£17.33) all told should give 500 meg of data from what I can see.
[General Questions and Answers] Major_Sarcasm:
That could be exactly what I'm looking for. Nice one, bud.
[General Questions and Answers] AnnoyingBunny:
If you plan on using a SIM card you will have the choice of T-mobile and AT&T (major carriers).

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/go-phones/index.jsp#fbid=oLie2towefI

Things to note:

If you plan on bringing a cell phone (like the SGSII) over from Europe you may not be able to get 3g / 4g network access (frequencies are different).

Frequencies for AT&T (wikipedia):

850 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G

1900 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G

850 MHz	UMTS/HSPA	3G

1900 MHz	UMTS/HSPA	3G

Frequencies for T-mobile (wikipedia):

850 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE

1900 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE

1700 MHz/2100 MHz	UMTS (W-CDMA)/HSPA

Also, be sure to check the network coverage map. AT&T has a larger national footprint compared to T-mobile. (NOTE: AT&T's network can become congested at times -- especially with all those iPhone users)

I'm not a huge fan of AT&T's network (or their plans). That said, if you're only here for a short period of time and you're staying in a major city (like NYC) you shouldn't have a problem with either network. I think it really boils down to 3g/4g support and price.
[General Questions and Answers] Major_Sarcasm:
According to this page, it's quad band and so should access the 3G network without issue.

Network

HSPA+ 21Mbps/ HSUPA 5.76Mbps

EDGE/ GPRS Class 12

Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900

Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100

I think an ATT SIM coupled with a NYC location should be ok. I'm only in the States for 9 days, so 500MB should do me. I only want to be able to use Google search and upload the odd pic to Facebook. I'll download most of the Google Maps data over the hotel wifi ;)
[General Questions and Answers] agsfo77:
Lycamobile is a great prepid plan

Hello,

I recommend Lycamobile, it is a great prepaid plan with cheap calls and data.

You can get more informations about it and buy a SIM card on simtravelusa.com with a €2 discount if you tell my sponsorship email agsfo@online.fr

I ordered my SIM card on Monday and received it on Saturday, the shipping is very fast.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omgadroid:
Has anybody ever tried to make a new bootloader for EVO I mean its a bootloader just rewrite hboot just kill all security and give it a nice GUI

I know the bootloader starts up the hw and loads the img

Kinda like BIOS and bootloader but then it hands off that to the kernel I know Linux plays nicely with many diffrent bootloaders so why not
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmasta:
S-ON, with S-ON you can't write anything to the system. It's as if your BIOS was password protected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omgadroid:
I mean after s off to kill this whole s on s off circle
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_bono:
I don't understand the question. Which circle? HTC turning security back on? I know there are differences between the types of S off... Radio, pvt, sim unlock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omgadroid:
They sed they would but I have seen no info about them doing it for the evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
I'm not following this logic either. Why rewrite the bootloader to remove security, when you would need to be S-OFF in the first place to install said bootloader? Once you're S-OFF, you've got a bootloader that does exactly what you want it to. There's not really anything to improve at that point. Why do you need a "nice GUI" for a bootloader?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmasta:
My guess is he's thinking he could circumvent the S-On by just using an alternative bootloader. It's like trying to write a new registry values without having admin rights, not gonna happen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsm831:
I completely agree
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runcool:
I don't think any of you guys know anything about software development. lol. wow! Sadly, it can be hard to write code for a chip we don't have the designs to. *wow, wrong word, but oh well. i'm sleepy!* However, having that feature on at all times would greatly cause the security of the phones to be in jep. only should be done by experts or people that know what they are doing. not everyone needs root access. in fact, MOST people SHOULD NOT have root access because they are idiots and don't know **** about **** and will end up putting a virus on their phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omgadroid:
Well I ment for those who use root and I know it wouldn't be simple to do but for those who are like myself(who think outside the box)

It was just a idea
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
What is the idea though? What would some other bootloader do differently?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omgadroid:
No security on nand might be able to optimize the flashing process make it so there's no need for clockwork or the other one I forgot its name and maybe make it smaller than hboot to free up some space for sed roms

Hi everyone,

First of all I'd like to thank the awesome developers that made these roms possible! I've really enjoyed using them ;)

But now I'm getting really confused with all these roms.. As far as I can see there are 3 good ones I can use; GingerBread v021b, Floyo (2.2.5) v1.0a HACKDROID and 2.2.9 CM Floyo v0.30. But for example, these 2 Floyo roms, are they different? (Floyo & CM Floyo) And which rom is the best one (most options, best performance, etc) because I'm really confused now xd

Thanks in advance,

Alex
[XPERIA X8 General] .Ozzy:
Floyo 1.0a has lots of bugs (market, maps, wifi issues), I can recommend you Floyo 1.0, it works fine ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Kizsde:
One thing to point out though is that Floyo 1.0 is based on FroyoBread v018 code so it has some bugs, that FroyoBread originally has. Namely the recorded videos have out of sync audio when played.

P.S.: I actually posted a thread for this Video/Audio sync issue here in the general section, asking if anybody knows a fix or workaround.
[Desire General] brockers:
Hi all, my phone stats at present:

HTC Desire - originally on O2.

Rooted and S-off'd

Running Oxygen 2.1.6

I'm trying to flash this partition table:

Bravo Oxygen r2.

I have renamed PB99IMG_oxygenr2.zip to pb99img.zip and put it on the root of my SD.

When I boot into fastboot I get:

Now I'm not adverse to a bit of dev work - I have the and. SDK up and running.

fastboot getvar all

shows:

(bootloader) cidnum: O2___001

I gather this is the problem.

How do I change the CID? Is there a quick and easy command line or shell fix?

Cheers
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Flashing hboot via pb99img.zip does not work very often. Better do it with fastboot:

fastboot flash hboot C:\bravo_alphaspl-oxygenr2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache

Comment is for the case, your hboot.img is stored on partition C and you used the oxygen r2 hboot from http://alpharev.nl

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK MD5SUM BEFORE FLASHING HBOOT!!!

To avoid cid error, you need to create goldcard and put it in your desire:

http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/

Exactly, if you are comfy with the fastboot/adb there is no reason to use PB99IMG. ;)

hi all.

should i buy MY4G with my 200$

or is there a better phone for 200$?

I want a FAST Android phone.

i have the G1 ATM.

and i saw that the MY4G is really good.

what do you think i need to buy with your experience with this phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bstylz911:
I had the g1.

Traded for a mytouch.

Was faster in my experience. And loved the ffc
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travisd4est:
Depending on whatS more important to you. Do you Carr if you have a physical keyboard? Larger screen? Cause to be honest most phones are around the 1.MHz to 1.2mhz and m then you have the dual core. I love the mt. It can literally do anything. Just the other day I blew up a car with it. Pretty badass.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhclark923:
i would recommend either the mt4g slider or the sensation but are new phone and personally i think they are the 2 best phones t-mobile has. they are both $200 i think.if you want netflix on it then deffinately go with the my touch 4g slide it's on sale right now on the site and comes out in like a week in the stores, so hold on and wait for that one if you want a my touch phone
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The only problem for you would be getting MT4G at a price of $200 (assuming that your declared location is correct, which means you won't be buying a contract deal with T-Mobile, but paying full cash for the phone - in which case it'll cost you $450 with T-Mobile or a bit cheaper - just a bit below $400 - on eBay).

Personally, I think it's the most cost-effective phone on the market right now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionic7:
just wait for a month or so and get some dual core action when they are more mainstream
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
This +1

This phone can be troublesome with the chance of a bad screen/chip, I would just go for a dual core phone, they're faster and have better battery due to the way 2X cores work compared to 1 core devices. They will have better support for longer. But I'm waiting to get a new device when the Nexus 3 is around or Ice cream sandwich is out. When ICS is out they will have 720P res and no more HW buttons according to the news. And Quad-cores are in the works so it's really up to you, I would save my money up and stay with the G1, you had it this long so why not wait a little bit more? This phone is nice, but it's defiantly showing it's age now, official support will be dropped for this in a few months i'm guessing for the MT4GS and the successor for the MT4G, maybe MTHD or something.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
I came from a g1 and it lasted me 15 months b4 i decided i needed a faster phone and it really was painfully slow compared to phones out these days, i lucked out and got a sweet deal on my current mt4g phone(even tho it has bad emmc chip, i still got a good display and no problems so far...) on craigslist. Which saved me my upgrade that's in august, but now that i have the mt4g it's really not as hard to decide to wait on the Hercules, Nexus 3 or whatever else is around the corner in 2012 :P

Wait it out a bit longer if you've decided on the mt4g the slide is dual core beast, even the sensation will be fully unlocked and available to public in days.

Ace has a good point tho
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
Because you don't know what issues the Slide has then I wouldn't tell someone that this phone would be less troublesome. The Mytouch 4G could turn out to be a G2X, awesome phone if you have one that works. I'm sure everyone said the screen was great on the Mytouch, until they started comparing, and how long did it take to start noticing the very minor problem of the chips?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Get a MT4G from Craigslist... I always see them going for about 150-200$. Then keep that until the merger. That way you can get a phone with the appropriate bands. No use in using your upgrade then having the phone to be unusable within 8 months.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
You don't say? That's like saying you traded up to a Corvette from a Yugo, and what do you know, the Vette was faster! :D

[HTC EVO 3D] dodgeboy:
I got my Seidio 4000mAh extended battery today, which comes with its own back cover. The back cover is not nearly as nice as the factory one, and it really makes the phone feel like a piece of crap. The buttons don't feel as nice/solid, and the fit & finish isn't as good. Even the lack of a trim ring around the cameras and headphone jack makes it look significantly cheaper.

Anyway, sorry to nag... I just thought I would post my observation. I haven't tried the battery yet, because it's still charging. I'm sure it'll give it fantastic battery life, but part of me wants to return it.

[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:

thats a great observation... Especially for those looking to pick up an extended battery.

thanks for the review
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
i agree with the OP, i was thinking all day today if im the only 1 that felt like this. as much i like the extra battery life i hate the back and think i might return it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Torrentula81:
What I think everyone who owns one should do is create one official thread regarding the cheap back cover. Have everyone post who agrees and then email the link to the company and request $25 to be refunded or else your returning it. That will get their attention.
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
I'm not a big fan of the back either, but it's a lot like the one that came with the 3500mah battery for the Evo 4G. Anyway, I'm certainly not going to return the battery because I don't like the back...the extra juice is definitely worth the cosmetic change. Besides, once I get a case for it, it won't matter.

those extended batteries are too much; makes the phone look like some engineering tool or something the meter reader guy uses
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Pictures of this battery door cover?
[HTC EVO 3D] carica42:
Got my seidio 4000mha super extended battery yesterday. Battery life with it is fantastic. I'm not seeing any problems with the cover. It takes a bit for it to seat snug and seamless on the phone, but get it set, and it feels rock solid. I would attribute this to the fact that this back cover is more beefy than stock. It has more pronounced buttons that I find easier to press, though they require slightly more pressure,the flat black cover is Less "flair", no Chrome or red around camera shows, which appeals to me because I'm a soldier, so it does not stand out against my uniform, and it matches my 2 other favorite toys, my heavy duty black watch and my glock 19.

The shape of this cover seems to be a recurring topic. I thought it might be an issue but have had no problems with it. It slides into my pocket easily with the shape and protects the lenses. It does not feel excessively large in my hand. I would recommend it. I have shown it to the other drill sergeants I work with. We are notorious for being hyper critical, and there were no cracks about my banana phone, or how happy I am to see them ...etc...they Just looked with envy as their phones are out of juice, while I have been referencing mine all day for various topics.

I also ordered the chichitec dual batteries w/ charger. I got a link here on xda, I bid and won them last week on ebay for $12, hope they come soon , because I miss my tpu-case.com case. What ever extended battery tpu-cases.com supports is my next buy, their cases are durable and fit my lifestyle and profession.

Tpu-cases and seidio owe me big for pushing their products. I accept checks , money orders , or free $hit. Even better , play nice together.

[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
I'm referring more to their cases that marred up phones i've put them on. Which is relevant here since this thread is about how cheap the phone feels with this back cover. So the quality of those kept me from buying their more expensive accessories. Just because my experience and opinion doesn't reflect yours doesn't make it BS.
