Hi,

I am on the latest cyanogen mod for Galaxy S I9000. I wanted to install XXJVR modem on it. Using ODIN, I flashed JVR modem on it. Now, i cannot connect to the mobile network, baseband is unknown.

What is the procedure of flashing JVR modem on cyanogen?

When i compare a picture taken with the 2mp option and one taken with the 8 mp option there is no difference in quality. Both have the same amount of noice and look equally bad when i view them on the computer. Nothing like the sharp pictures shown in the Arc photo thread.

It all depends on how you use the phone. I send about 200 texts a day, browse the web a bit, 3g is ALWAYS on. And on my nexus s i charge my phone about every day and a half.

and one more thing android is set up to keep your battery running as long as possible . task manager and battery aps drain the battery more because they mess up androids battery system and make it do more work. the best thing to do is turn off wifi auto sync gps and lower your screen brightness through power controls. let android take care of the rest.
[Vibrant General] seanp666:
I've had my Vibrant for over a year now and maybe turned my GPS on twice. Here's a hint, turn GPS off and just use wireless networks. It's extremely accurate all the time. It's consistently more accurate than my gf's blackberry with GPS on and just as accurate as my friends droid with GPS on. I always use Google maps and latitude as well so I'm always looking at my location. It's always right where I am.

Even apps the use GPS pick up where I am right away. The only reason I can think of you might need GPS is if you're driving in a new place and you don't know your way around and you wanna use turn by turn navigation. Hell even then, I just use google maps....turn by turn is annoying anyway.

So that's it. I had to say this cause everyone is obsessed with GPS whenever a new ROM drops........that's the first question people ask. Does GPS work??? I've never used GPS and I've never been at a disadvantage.....plus it saves battery life.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
XDA answer:

Awesome that you do not use/understand the full functionality of your phone. Thanks for the post. Have a good one.

My Answer:

I actually travel and need turn by turn, nor do I find it annoying.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
to each his own. if the phone has GPS capabilities, why not use it. i mean, it is a feature that is factored into the price of the device....so if youre going to pay for something, you might as well get everything out of it that you are paying for.

it may not be important to you, but thats you. everyone has different needs/wants for their smartphone. some people are OCD, and prefer to have everything working properly, even if they dont use it often/never use it.

i myself dont use gps often at all, but i occasionally need it while driving somewhere. so i cant really say its important to me...but i sure as hell feel more comfortable knowing its there when i do need it.

this is a major reason why i am still running froyo. gingerbread is not yet stable enough for MY liking. that doesnt mean im going to trash people who use gingerbread, because what they do with their phone is none of my business, nor does it affect my life in any way.

i know where youre coming from though. it does get annoying when the majority of members all start *****ing about the same thing. but hey, if the phone was perfect and there wasnt anything to ***** about or improve, then there would be no reason for this forum :)
[Vibrant General] seanp666:
Absolutely...I understand all your points. My whole point was Cellular triangulation is so good these days, you don't need GPS. Except of course for driving purposes sometimes. I was just trying to challenge people in not worrying about the GPS and check cellular networks instead....I guarantee they won't lose a thing. I think data connection and wifi strength and are much more important but GPS gets so much damn attention.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
because people want what they can't have. with the vibrant, someone may not even use gps, but still ***** about it not working, just because they know it doesn't.

though, for the record, on cm7 i am getting the best accuracy with gps i have ever got with the vibrant: 3m.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
its not about people wanting what they cant have....its about people wanting their phone to work the way it should. the *****ing may be excessive, but there is nothing wrong with what they are *****ing about. people pay a lot of money for their phones, and they have every right to want to work perfectly, not well, perfectly.

HOWEVER, with that said, the lack of gps is the result of a conscious choice that they made to flash a gingerbread rom that they knew, or should have known, has either semi-functioning or non-functioning gps.

bottom line: what difference does it make
[Vibrant General] DeeJay00001:
I only turn my GPS on when I need it

Google Navigation

Camera Alert

Not sure why else you will need it. Its also a battery killer.

[Vibrant General] nevrlow:

[Vibrant General] Mdtolic:
Often. I need it for driving often. That's why.

(;) Just kidding s666!)
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
I don't use it...meh. To those that need it, good luck.
[Vibrant General] mrrobc97:
You're right on the fact that most of us don't use "turn by turn" everyday. Hell if I know I need directions before I leave my house I go ahead and print them out (old school by now). The fact of the matter is that Navigation is something I want working when I do use it. My family and I drove to Cali about 2 weeks ago for vacation and it was nice that when we spontaneously decided to go someplace (while we were in the car driving) my wife would just input the address in the Navigation and it would take us there with no issues. I probably used the Navigation function those 4 days more than I would use it in the remainder of the year but I was glad that it worked flawlessly thanx to my current ROM (BionixV 1.3.1).

Bottom line??? NO, its not about being obsessed with having a working GPS. It's about having a working GPS when the need arises no matter how infrequently that is.

[Vibrant General] liwater363:
Our 3G network did not cover all areas, so need off-line maps and GPS-assisted navigation
[Vibrant General] bdroc:
OP, you must live in an area with very good 3g/cellular coverage. with gps and wifi off, im accurate to within 1500 meters.

i dont use gps for turn-by-turn, but i use it for gauging proximity to my next direction. i like knowing how close i am to a turn or an exit, and 1500 meters doesnt cut it.

are you sure your wifi is off and its still accurate? does anyone else get really good cellular/3g locations?
[Vibrant General] s1lenz:
I've gotten so used to driving around with GPS sometimes I can't get home without it. It's the world we live in.

Tried using cellular networks to triangulate on Yelp, doesn't work (for me anyways)
[Vibrant General] humdingalinger:
I use GPS occasionally, but for me having the gps working id the only thing that would make the gb rom perfect. Everything else is working.
[Vibrant General] seanp666:
Good point about the wifi being off. I think it's still pretty accurate with wifi off. I never made the correlation between the wifi being off or on. I'll pay more attention to that in the future and see if there's a big difference.

Oh and I do live in a strong coverage area.....I live in Tampa which has the 42mbs and 3G is everywhere. That definitely affects it as well
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
seanp666 where do you live?

What you describe may be true for New York City.

WiFi hot spots are everywhere (for location, not data)

Buildings block the sky and GPS Satellites

You don't drive, so turn by turn accuracy is not as important

In most of the country, even our poor GPS is better than cell site triangulation and WiFi. Only GPS is accurate enough to tell you *when* to turn.

Personally, I do have a Garmin Nuvi, but in most cases I use my phone since it's always "there", plus has "traffic" (in quotes due to accuracy :) ) Even my wife hardly uses the Garmin any more.

The GPS works much better with a window mount ($8) and battery is not an issue when plugged in.

[Vibrant General] Blown 89:
I'm "obsessed" with GPS because I use a few times a week so it was a big selling point for this phone. If the GPS was half as good as other cell phones out there I wouldn't be considering switching to another phone.

As far as your snide comments about turning wifi on......that's not even remotely an option in the Phoenix metro area never mind when I use the GPS when I'm out in the wilderness.

Just because GPS isn't a big deal to you doesn't mean that it's not for everyone else too.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:

[Vibrant General] :
I don't use the calling people portion of my phone, so why do people complain if they can't make or receive calls? If you want to make or receive calls, you should just use a landline.

I don't use data on my phone, so why do people complain if their data rates are slow? If you want to use data, you should just used a computer.

I don't travel with my phone, so why do people complain if their battery only lasts 1 hour. If you want to take something with you, why don't you just carry a generator around?

I am curious as to what Gingerbread Rom people are using and why?

I have never used a custom rom, I have a few questions.

I would like to use a rom, but when the dev comes out with a newer version do I have to reflash? Or how exactly does that work? If I do have to reflash can I do so without wiping my user data?

What are the main benefits of running a custom rom, whats all the hype with FPS uncap - for playing games?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] EffectX:
I'm running wolfbreaks TW GB 2.3.3 rom because it has fps uncap, xLoud, bravia engine, and because most of the people I know are you using it.

I would highly recommend it. But when flashing the first file provided, you will have to wipe you user data. Just simply make a nandroid backup and also download titanium backup, and after flashing the first file just restore the data and settings and everythingwill be like just the way you left it (:

The hype behind fps uncap is because SE capped the X10 at a certain limit (can't remember what it is of the top of my head) so all the fps uncap does is do whatSE should of done in the first place so we can get the full xperience out of our phone

I can join this opinion. I'm new to X10/android world but have some experience in smartphones, and I can say Wolbkreaks ROM's are excellent. Simple way to extend your phones features :-)

As EffectX mentioned, always do a backup of your data. I usually use MyPhoneExplorer (very simple WiFi connection) for backing apps, contacts, SMS, and other. For call log I use Mybackup pro. If you would like to keep settings use Titanuim, but I have not much apps installes, so I can deal with installing it manually after full ROM release. Keep in mind that forum related to WB roms is now over 600 pages, and keep growing, you can find a lot of information there.

[HTC Sensation] miro.san:
I posted this on Amazon but thought I would also share it here. This forum has been a great resource for me. I also think my issues would apply to the clear version of the same brand.

I mistakenly ordered the anti glare screen protector when I intended to order the clear version. This was completely my fault and it is in no way reflected in my rating of this product. Having said that, if you are not specifically looking for an anti glare screen protector, then avoid this one.

The anti glare treatment really takes a lot away from using the device in every lighting situation, the colors are much more muted and the overall visual qualities of the phone are reduced considerably. Additionally, the texture of the screen protector is downright annoying, I can hear every movement of my finger, it feels like swiping on notebook paper. Again this is just my opinion and I didn't intend to order this product, so the disadvantages of the anti glare screen are just for your information.

The main reason for my low rating is that this screen protector is not shaped specifically for the Sensation 4G, and doesn't cover the entire screen of the phone. Basically this protector only covers the actual viewing area of the screen, and not the action buttons below or the logo area above the screen.

My problem here is that Cleartouch didn't even try to cover the whole glass, this protector is just a rectangle you slap in the middlle of the screen. It's not going to protect the outer edges or the home/menu/back keys. Combined with the inferior display quality, it just makes an otherwise slick-looking phone look terrible.

The second major issue relates to the curved screen. Even though this screen protector sits in the middle of the phone, the edges do overlap into the curved part of the screen enough to cause the protector to not stick to the sides, I keep having to re-press the protector down. I give it a week before an edge gets snagged on my pocket and pulls the whole protector off. You can see it here:

View attachment 685348

Unfortunately I will have to wait for a new screen protector to arrive before I can replace this one. I will not order the crystal version of this protector because of the two issues I mentioned above. I am going to give Skinomi a shot this time.

Positive points would be the included lint-free polishing cloth and card applicator. Both come in handly and especially considering how inexpensive this protector is they are both nice additions to the package.

I WAS a repeat Cleartouch customer, I had this brand screen protector on my G1 and my G2 phones, and both were high quality and custom cut for the phones, its the main reason I didn't think twice about ordering the Sensation 4G version. Oh well... I hope the Skinomi is better, it looks promising.

Hi,

i'm quite new to Android (someone could name me as NeWbIe), but i decided to move on and make myself familiar with Android. I am quite experienced in managing Linux, so i guess that Android is right OS for me.

My budget is fairly limited so i decided to buy cheap but good phone -> find some balance between price and usability.

Guys on czech android forums told me to choose between ZTE Blade and LGOO. I was astonished by Blade's display, but disappointed by its battery-life and some other things. So LGOO is now my buy-favourite (because of better audio output than Blade's one, better warranty options in CZ and because of better battery-life).

So, is there any other phone, you would recommend to me asi LGOO alternative (with same price)? Or are there other things that could make me not-to-buy LGOO?

I did read tons of topics and other articles (here too) about both phones.

Please give me simple reasons why (and why not) to buy LGOO.

Thx
