The official Taiwan ROM doesn't come with any Chinese option in Swype. You can see this in the first post in this thread, under ZS (the Taiwan/HK firmware code).

Instead we get the Samsung Chinese keyboard, which is a very nice keyboard for handwriting (and a bunch of other Traditional Chinese input options). And handwriting is pretty much what everybody in Taiwan uses nowadays for input on a touchscreen phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kopfleuchten:
Hi all,

I have a question concerning the GPS functionality in Hero GSM 2.2 based Custom Roms. Here is the problem I had:

When I use my Navigation software (latest CoPilot Live 9) or other GPS based apps (MyTracks) on my HTC Hero (GSM, FroydVillain 1.7.2) it uses to crash and force a reboot. However, this problem does not occur reproducable. Sometime navigation works fine for several minutes. Sometimes reboot is forced directly after starting the navigation software. This is what I tried (based on what I read):

- turn on GPS -> manual reboot

- I'm using latest radio

- I adjusted my CPU settings to min 352, max 576, interactive

- I also tried another Navigation software (lates sygic GPS Navigation) -> same problem

- and of course: hard reset, intalled everything new

Finally, I decided to get rid of 2.2 and went back to VillanRom13. And.... tadaaaa, GPS apps work like charme! No problems.

In another forum someone said that the problem doesn't seem to arise when using Cronos Froyo. Someone else suggested to flash Flykernel. Does someone here has/had a similar problem and was able to solve it?

Any Cronos Froyo users who run GPS based apps without problems?

Thank you very much for your help!

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] schetz:
Actually I had no force reboots while using Ele/s Speedmachine v4 out of the box..

With Speedmachine v5 I had force reboots running GPS with Las Venturax 0.6.2 and Flykernel13...

Waiting for Speedmachine v6 to see what will happen, but I still have a copy of Speedmachine v4 just in case,which is really the fastest and most stable ROM I used so far:)

Can we still flash the font packs from the Evo 4G?

Worked for me just fine using the mattedblues font pack. It looks like the EVO 3d has more fonts than the ego 4G so a couple won't be changed...but I have not noticed which ones they are.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontstopgetit:
When I go to 'check for system updates' it says 'system is currently up to date'. But its not because the OTA came out and my wife updated hers.

I rooted my phone a while back, is this why? My phone says my software is 2.1 update 1. I had bricked my phone a while back and installed the file to bring it back to 'stock' supposadly.

My phone also says Incredible XC SHIP S-Off when i go to recovery.

Any ideas on how to get my phone to recognize and install the OTA update?

Thanks pros.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
So you're on 2.1? You'll probably want to bring it to 2.2 Stock. You can stay S-OFF, you'll just need to be stock 2.2 with Android Recovery, not ClockworkMod custom recovery. You can get the Stock Android Recovery from Doug Piston's site here.

If you go back to S-ON and stock 2.2, then that the OTA, you won't be able to root again until Unrevoked comes up with a method to root again.

EDIT: Once you get everything to that point, the OTA may not come to your phone right away, so you may need to wait. I'm not sure if they're rolling it out randomly in small batches, or how they're doing it this time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
+1 on updating to 2.2 froyo

did you get a notification of the update on your phone? not all phones get it at the exact same time and it could be days before you get it. if you are rooted and have a file explorer app you look in the cache folder under the root directory of the phone to see if you got the update but it didn't install.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontstopgetit:
Awesome thanks. I'm on Doug Piston's site but am confused as to which Stock Android Recovery listed I need to download and install. There are like 10. Help. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
There's only one stock recovery there. It's labeled: Stock Recovery from lord knows who.

All of the others are ClockworkMod recoveries, various versions of them.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
I am putting this one outside of the CM7 thread only because it seems to have been asked with no answer.

I have used beta #2 and #4 and in both instances i get a Data has exceeded limit warning and my speed gets throttled down to 300kb/s I am looking for a way to edit these settings but am yet to find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT FIX Found!

Dug through some files with root explorer

data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

(need to have a db editor on your device)

open secure

What i changed was throttle_threshold_bytes

and added 000 on the end of the number. increased the limit to 3gb upon reset which is fine by me. I am sure you can play with those settings a bit more i just chose not too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
I have also been having this issue. Did this make the notification go away?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
yes just have to reboot after. with my exact changes it will come back if I use more than 3GB in a day (highly unlikely)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
I have an unlimited data plan so I wasn't experiencing any loss of data speed but the notification was annoying!

I did this and it worked for me. Ill add this to the CM7 issue I started on the website as a temp fix
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
it seemed to effect me, but it couldn't have been placebo due to the area i work in. Oh didn't see your issue there or I would have posted there as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
Its issue 126 I think.

For anyone else looking at this: I used root exprlorer
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malimal:
This changes the throttling but does not get rid of the notification.

Thanks for the tip anyway.

There has to be a way to disable.

Update:

A bit more digging around in database the OP mentioned led me to set throttle_polling_sec to 0. This seemed to disable the policy after a restart. It no longer shows in settings and I don't get the notification anymore.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guiv1:
Had the same issue with the official BETA of CM7. Don't know why it does that because no one report the issue... I did try to change the throttle_threshold_bytes with my contract data plan 1 gig (1073741824) and rebooted. I confirm it solve the issue

Many thanks!

[LG Thrill 4G] baudilus:
Outside of the normal battery saving tips, I thought it might be useful to post apps that you find hogging the battery. As we all know the battery life is one of the few major problems with the Thrill, so having a rogue app eating away your precious battery can ruin your day.

AT&T Code Scanner - it's a fast (and good!) QR code scanning tool, but this morning I used it once and 20 minutes later I found it using as much battery as the screen. I'd already lost 10% percent of my battery life when I killed it. It's one of the few AT&T bloat apps that is actually useful, so I recommend immediately killing it after use.

[Motorola Photon 4G] deedomond:
If your thinking about changing from the photon to the epic 4g touch. I wouldnt switch and the reason i say dont switch is because i have a history with samsung i have had the captivate,droid charge, revolution,tab, infuse which is enough to know about them. And with motorola i had a droid 1, droid 2 and droid 3, droid x and x2,xoom and photon. And i can honestly that motorola hands down makes the better product alot of people i know buy into what the reviewers say about the device and not make our own judgement. On samsung i found myself rooting it and the installing a lagfix with motorola i root and setcpu and its good. Also the build quality with way different motorola has them beat in that department. I mean that plastic with samsung is not got one drop and its bad yea its thin but ur paying the price for it with build quality. All im saying is put motorola phones next to samsung and u will c a major difference. And as for as those speed tests go thats all good that u get a highscore and all but the photon is a beast of a phone. Dont b easy fooled cause the epic is new on the block. Also the screen on the photon is amazing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedomond:
Also when i had the infuse my signal was in and out all the time and yes it was att but when i put my sim in my dell streak i didnt have that problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrwinscher:
Where is all the support

I have been debating back and forth and which phone to keep... The Photon is a great phone but it seems like there has only been crickets in the dev section. I look at the SGS2 dev section and there is tons of things going on. I love android because I find it fun playing with the phones, changing ROMS and everything else.. But it seems like there are not a lot of devs interested in this phone, and honestly I don't have enough time to learn how to be a dev, I just follow the instructions.. I guess we will see... oh and GO PACKERS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] n2ishun:
I've had both MORE Samsungs and more Motos than what you have listed.

I cannot find the truth in your post

When work gave me a Moto Nextel i950 I had a Samsung a680.

When work gave me a Moto Razr I had a Samsung Blade.

And on and on and on.....

Everyone says some BS about Samsungs flimsy build.....I don't see it....I've NEVER seen it.

My Samsung Vibrant was built NO DIFFERENT in quality to this Photon.....BOTH have cheesy plastic backs.

HTC has cheesy plastic backs.

LG has cheesy plastic backs.

Huawei has cheesy plastic backs.

Christ get over it already.

I'm dropping this Photon POS due to the LOCKED bootloader.

At least with Samsung I can flash and tweak to my hearts content.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Locked bootloader? Mine is unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bigjim1488:
I wont be jumping into anything, I'll wait this one out and see what happens. I too wish there was more going on in the dev section bit I'm not willing to give up my great battery life, signal and GPS until Sammy is proven good.

[Motorola Photon 4G] plmiller0905:
Not to mention...Samsung is also very slow on updates. The Epic is still on 2.2 while the almost all of Motorola phones has been or will be updated to 2.3.

With Ice cream sandwich right around the corner, I'm just not so sure I want to exchange my Photon for the Epic Touch.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedomond:
@n2ishun u talking about phones that dont count we r talking about android and i had more phones than that but im not talking about flip phones and messaging phones im talking about more updated phones anybody that really into phones know whats up i got the epic right now and the droid 3 and photon motorola has a better build quality call quality.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
Meh.... Bootloader unlocked without 4G may as well be locked at this point. Moto is killing this phone sitting on their thumbs with no official bootloader unlock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
I went from a Samsung vibrant to the photon. For the most part I loved the vibrant. My phone before that was a nexus one. Their is a noticeable difference in build quality. I prefer htc and Motorola over Samsung. Yeah the new epic touch 4 g is ultra thin but will it last two years? I plan on keeping my photon till my two year contact is up. Also getting updates was a pain with Samsung. They doing do ota updates, but you have to install it from a PC and go thru this whole process thats a pain.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xisaacbx:
After messing with the Samsung infuse I changed my mind about swhiching. The screen is way to big and with only a 800 x 480 resolution it fails. Sprint should of just kept it at 4.3 inches which I think is the sweet spot for phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LouieGrandie:
All that is well and good but I had a Photon, upgraded to MR5, had all the tips and tricks and I STILL had NO AUDIO on calls. Is it too much to ask that I have audio on a call that by all indications has gone through? If I can make and receive calls on the Samsung then that's the phone for me.

Also considering Motorola is now owned by google, we'll probably get ice cream sandwich within in the first month of it's release. Google has had a great track record updating phones they own.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
Nexus phones and "phones they own" are a bit different.

I was really annoyed at the lack of development for a while but then I thought back to my evo which really needed it to keep up, and the epic were anything other than bone stock had stupid connectivity issues. I've rooted my mopho to restore apps and that's it. It just works outside the box. if I really feel like getting squirrley I might look to remove the bloat with root explorer. But ive gotten amazing battery life, awesome performance, great signal and call quality. Really im only missing the dev from my old flash junkie ways not that the phone needs it.

Basically if yall want to leave then GTFO and stop posting, if you want to stay let them GTFO and enjoy your amazing phone. I doubt it will be all too soon that this phone becomes too underspecced to run our favorite apps.

If you are having issues and haven't screwed with removing system apps and have tried removing all installed apps and putting them back on one at a time bring your phone back it probably was a bad build. Its really not that hard people, the vast majority love how this phone functions, the fact that I can see it in full sunlight is awesome.

If you want better benchmarks go get the GSII and pray to whatever God you believe in that the hardware is compatible enough to make use of all of those devs already there otherwise it could be an EPIC fiasco all over again. Base your opinions on the here and now, not some future potential that may or may not be achieved later. Just don't come back and complain about reception/gloat about some number on a benchmark let us happy MoPhoers be.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xisaacbx:
/agree. =) can't wait for ice cream sandwich.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sslbaron:
Oooo! I didn't even think of that. Good point. I hope this actually happens (getting excited, cannot contain myself!!!) :p lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] kchaser:
The only thing I wish this phone had were toggles on the notification pull down menu. Those are so nice on Sammy and HTC. I've tried some of the apps that do this, but they all tell me my phone doesn't support multiple toggles on a single widget. If someone could figure out a way to do this, I would forget all about the e4gt.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mjben:
I wouldn't expect that to be of much benefit to a phone that is already on the market though. I'm looking forward to an amazing Android moto, yes, but I dont expect the photon to become that device.

On the Samsungs again, they don't get updated, they get released partially functional and then ditched. Some of you are talking about ice cream sandwich now? Epics froyo update was painfully late. We still can't get a full-featured GB. Our front camera only works sideways in video chat. And our TV output is blocked. Bring into this everything that was already mentioned about overheating, poor signal, shoddy GPS, and random battery drains. It would take a lot of convincing to get me to buy another one.

I'm totally digging this photon thing, but looking g forward to what's next from motogoogle.

2 new kernels released today which makes things seem like development maybe going good.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I bet that we will get quite a few devs over here after awhile, yea it might take awhile, but the simple fact is that there will be a shtload of people going for the next best thing just to realize how much worse off they are by not picking the Photon. You gotta think that it takes 1 person from a group of 25 that all of them trust to say, "damn, this phone is good, but check this one out, lets go over here", and then you get all of them.

I really don't think it will take long. The guy giving the Photon to his kid cuz he wants an SGS2, its going to be funny when he wants the Photon back because the sgs2 is just not what he thought it was going to be, and his kid won't let him have it back! LOL

Numbers are one thing, but real time performance is the other, and this phone has both! I think this will be the creeper forums, slow start but we will be bangin' after awhile. I could be wrong, it has happened once before, I think. lol

[Motorola Photon 4G] KaliS-Pugilist:
i just want The Next Best Thing...is it the photon or et4g????

i have the epic4g and thinking about the epic touch4g, but the photon is looking appealing due to the world phone specs and others it has. the only +'s i see that the et4g has is stronger processor, 1080p video capture, and most importantly for me a bigger and hopefully more vivid/clear screen. the one thing i wanted and felt a little inept with by my epic4g was that it had a 4" screen while the evo & droid had 4.3" screens. despite the epic having a "better" quality screen, i still wanted BIGGER. now i can get it, but hmmm...do i go with the et4g or the photon.

also, i just saw that the et4g will have a usb host so that it can accept a keyboard, mouse, and other devices with ease. this may also be a plus for me.

im a tech geek with no real loyalty to any company. i had HTC and loved it, but now i got sammy and love them. i used WM for years, not im on Android and not looking back. give me the best tech i can get at the time that will hopefully last a year and i'll take it...only to drop it for TNBT in a heart beat.

Every samsung phone i've ever had was nice in the short term horrible in the long term. No updates horrrrrrrible gps signal and laggy software....... Can't lie great chips and beautiful screens but really horrible overall........ I got burned twice with my moment and the epic...... Never again only htc and motorola for me

[Motorola Photon 4G] Pete720:
+1 I had the Epic 4G before my Photon and it was my favorite phone after I rooted and ROMed it because I had to. Box stock it was a slow laggy bag of s--t. Despite the claims NO rom made the signal or GPS better. The Photon out of the box screams. And updates? No comparison Samsung is the WORST at updating their products and I use their televisions which are going to get replaced next they can keep those too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] captblaze:
i too thought the photon is a better phone...

that was until the little faux chrome power button cap popped off after 4 days of ownership. since then i cant stand the email client, the fact that there is no charging light with the phone powered, and the social media widget isnt worth using at all.

as for the epic touch 4g...

havent heard one review that was critical of lag. as for gps and phone signal...

i have 30 days to decide if it is junk

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I know I wont be switching, just got my photon yesterday and I can tell you my signal in my house is 4-6 bars. With any other phones it would barely be 1 bar. The photon is definitely a quality built phone, and anyone who says that samsung phones don't feel like cheap plastic toys from family dollar is in denial. When I spend money on these phones I want to feel like its a nice solid phone, not some cheap plastic phone. HTC and Motorola make quality phone builds, and the radio in the photon is just awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] plmiller0905:
I'm totally on the fence...I have no clue what i should. I have the Photon and to tell you the truth, I think it's the best Android device I've owned ...hands down. The reception is crazy good and the clarity of the calls is out of this world. And although some people complain about the screen, I think it's nice. I'm able to see in daylight etc. The only reason, I'm thinking about even exchanging my Photon for the ET4G is because my Photon suffers for the sleep/black screen. It hasn't gotten to the point where I'd have to do a battery pull, but it's there.

Since I trade/buy/sell phones, I've owned about 3-5 Epics since they been released. And I, just like the other poster a few threads back, all my Epics had gps issues which is a big strike in my books. In addition, Samsung doesn't update their devices in a timely fashion. Heck, do the Epic 4G even have gingerbread yet? My friends Samsung Moment got the 2.3 update but like I said, it seems as though Samsung just through their hands in the air with the Epic and just forgot about it.

While on the other hand, Motorola is updating mostly all their devices to 2.3. It seems as though everyday I read Android central or another Android site, Moto is either getting ready to or have started updating another device to 2.3.

If I do decide to keep my photon, I'll just go to Sprint and buy the keyboard and hdmi dock for it and call it a day.I figure that Moto and Sprint will release an update that'll fix these issues.

Oh and one more plus for the Photon...the Kickstand :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Have to agree. The et4g looks super sexy, but i have the best reception i have ever had on sprint with the Photon. Also the dock is sweet!
