Special thank youz:

Imnuts (for source file and cmds)

Samuelhadams (for proof on test)

Logan302 (adb help)

what you need:

adb installed (and working :P)

gps.conf: here

in adb enter these cmds:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

adb push gps.conf /system/etc

adb shell reboot

or

what you need:

any file manager app that mounts the system r/w (read write)

aps.conf on sdcard

copy gps.conf from sdcard and go to /system/etc folder,

click mount r/w button or however you are mounting system r/w

Gps was broken? With ec07 or ec03?
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
There were issues with gps unable to lock after the phone had been on for awhile.

The link is down :P
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
Do you need it?
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
Updated sorry
[Continuum General] Bierce22:
my gps was working fine on ec07

It seems to be a hit or miss thing. Minw does too. Some people have issues, though.

ADB help

Hey, just a few questions. I'm brand new to ADB tools.

I got my cmd prompt to show me the serial of my device using adb devices. Im sure this means my adb tools are working. Ive only installed SDB tools and platform tools.

Do I need to download the 2.2 tools?

The problem is when I type in the first cmd i get a operation error.

2nd question is how do I get all of your gps.config code into the cmd prompt. Do I place the file somewhere on my computer for it to be recognized in your second cmd step.

Thanks in advanced.
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
You can push manually with a file manager. Its in op also.

Also the GPS. Conf is a file.
[Continuum General] minirome:
Why am I getting the operations error anyways? Should I be working off of tools or platform tools?
[Continuum General] minirome:
Ive tried a lot of different ways to get it to work and I think ive gotten to the point where it might be something else other than my commands. I just get a mount:operation not permitted. The following is an example of what I typed. The $ sign was created after I typed in adb shell.

1 "adb shell

2 $mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

3 mount:operation not permitted"

Tell me I did something wrong.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
You need to "su" before you try and mount -_-
[Continuum General] minirome:
I messed around with that for awhile and I think I got a little further. I seem to still get a little stuck after I mount.

1. /android-sdk/platform-tools>adb shell

2. $su

3. #mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

4. mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

5. #

On line 4 the cmd prompt just spits that back out at me and it ends up back at # again. How do I know it mounted and how do I begin the pushing process. My gps.conf file is in my platform-tools folder. Thanks!
[Continuum General] minirome:
Throw me a bone. Im so close! I can feel it!
[Continuum General] AUATL:
How do I get gps.conf file?

link in OP just takes me to a page with a lot of text-No download.
[Continuum General] minirome:
Right click and click save as or save link as. It should automatically name it as gps.conf
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
Minirome, are you simply he'll Benton pushing this thing via adb? If not, and you just want to get your gps to work, copy the thing to your sd card, download es file explorer, and cnp the thing to the proper dir

Works pissah after renaming and replacing using Root Explorer. Grabs the GPS signal wickid quick!

[Continuum General] minirome:
Haha yes I am pretty bent on using adb. I just wanted to gain some experience with it. I might break down soon...unless someone says something. I think I've made progress.
[Continuum General] minirome:
I broke down...almost cried too

The gps fix works pretty well. Got the signal right away. Thanks!

[Continuum General] bdotdotts:
Could I also load these commands in via Terminal Emulator?

Just wondering...

Btw: I rooted a friends lg optimus s via gingersnap/ gingerbreak & terminal emulator last night.

Seems to me we're lucky to have Odin to use on our phones... seems much easier to use than adb, but I'm new to adb...

I downloaded the Java SDK & got all the platform tools & all that, but can't seem to find how to open the terminal in adb on my computer yet. Duh.

I use the TE app all the time though & they seem similar.

Thanks.
[Continuum General] bdotdotts:
Also, my gps doesn't really lock or hang up - but it always shows me to be about 1/2 mile away from where I'm actually at.

Think these commands would fix that?

Also, I'm wondering where all you geniuses learned all his stuff?

Is it from schoolling or just lots of reading in the forums & trial & error?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
From hanging out in the irc and talking to me and imnuts and each other there :P
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
Well, it's a mix. There is one in here that has been doing this since he was 8, at least. Another that used to be a WM hacker, and one who worked with html... There's also one that just started learning this, and another that has been in IT for 2 decades and still got thrown for a loop. My advice is to learn the fundamentals. Both of general computer science and phone specific. That will also teach you What questions to ask. The rest will come with experience.

(Oh great... now I'm a nerd...)

Thanks for the info. I'll look it up!
[Continuum General] AUATL:
Thanks for the help, glad to have my gps back
[Continuum General] imnuts:
First, if the link is every broken, I have this stored on Github as well: https://gist.github.com/1129030

To see if it worked, you can run just the command "mount" and look for the line with /system in it. If it worked, there will also be rw (read/write) on the same line. If it didn't work, it will be ro (read-only). The following may make it a little easier:

mount | grep system

That should single out the line for the /system partition for you. :)

[Xperia Play General] Ekusuperia:
Would someone give me a suggestion of buying extended battery for the PLAY? I found an information of 3600mAH Mugen Power battery quite impressive but it come about double size in thickness compare to the stock one that scare the **** out of me. I wish not to make my phone anymore bulky as it already is :eek: My $$ would go for kinda 2000～2200mAH extended battery with a same dimension of the stock one.
[Xperia Play General] lafoma:
There is always the 1800mah version.. havent seen any other

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...xperia-x1-1800mah-extra-eros-akkumulator.html
[Xperia Play General] Ekusuperia:
Yeah, I think it is the only availability now.
[Xperia Play General] zipeee2:
I have a Galaxy S Vibrant and bought one of those 3500 maH batteries. Yes it makes it thicker and heavier, but to me it is definitely worth it considering it extended my battery time 2 - 2.5x. I get more than a full day out of the phone. It's a tradeoff you have to decide what it's worth. Of course, you could just buy a second battery and swap them out when it get's low...

[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
Is it possible, with use of a custom kernel, to enable infrastructure mode tethering (as opposed to adhoc) and access control features within wireless tether? Reading the developer website it says that:

Is that all we'd need to do this? Is this a quick and easy implementation? I'm not a developer and any sort of kernel modification is far outside my knowledge of Visual Studio that I learned in college (lol). I'm just interested in knowing what would be needed to allow me to turn my phone into a real (managed infrastructure) access point and I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who'd love this feature. =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beri84:
Hi, for a long time I wanted to install a no-Sense ROM. Therefore yesterday I successfully installed [AOSP 2.1] VanillaEclair 6.0 "Oldschool with some new paint". But not everything is working like I am used to from an original Android 2.1 ROM (of course, therefore it is a custom ROM :o )

I would like to ask a couple of questions:

1. How do I turn of Data Traffic

(not really necessary cause I have unlimited access but would like to know)

2. How can I start internet sharing with my notebook via USB?

(Am used that it goes automatically after I plugged a cable in and chose Internet sharing option. A connection icon appeared and I was able to start browsing. But in this ROM there is a possibility to tick Internet Tethering in the Settings but no connection appears to be on-going. I tried AndroidTethering app but with no success.)

Thank you for your help. Would be much appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beri84:
I already sorted out the first issue with turning on/off a data connection with a widgetsoid widget. But help with second issue would be much appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dftba:
Just checked the ROM's thread and it says there may be USB mounting problems with LVX. Try flashing FlyKernel13 and see if that fixes your tethering problems :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirasina:
My best friend is the creator of that rom. Well like he says it the breaker and the fixer. I got no idea if native USB tethering on it works I am now running 6.1 and I will test it for ya :D

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Ok it isnt... Think this is a fault cuss it is using the not native kernel that came with VE4. But that is just an idea :P I was planning to try something out later anyways so :P But that will come when I am in the mood to do so.

VE5. gonna try and see what works in there and see what I can build from that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
No, tethering won't work with lx without tweaking something in the system on ve. It should work with fly

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirencj:
1. Just Download a widget for this go to market n search " Curvefish" you will find Apn on off widget and other helpful Widgets too from curvefish

2. download PdaNet application hope it works :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beri84:
Hi, thanks for your effort. I originally wanted to place this question into a ROM thread in the Development section, but I wasn't allowed to place a comment due to my juniorship :)

Back to the topic: Now I moved back to the VillainRom13 cause I needed tethering. I am planning to try out 6.1 when I have more time (maybe tonight) and will see if it works by itself (what I doubt). Please let me know if the tethering thing works for you and if yes, try to explain what is necessary to do to get it workings. Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Hi,

as i wrote above, I managed the first point with a widgetsoid. I also tried PdaNet but no with no success.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

I flashed FlyKernel13 right after the ROM install so it isn't the problem. But thanks anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beri84:
Any ideas? Did someone try an internet tethering via usb on VanillaEclair 6.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirasina:
Does not work on that rom. I am now building my own version of a rom, with I hope support for the 2 feature you said, well at least 1 off the 2 will be in there.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Life Engineer:
Hi all!

My GF has a xperia X10 mini pro. When she got it i rooted it, removed all timescape related apps (coz the battery was draining extremely fast) and it all went extremely well and the battery was living up to days easily.

However, 2 days ago she told me that the battery is draining like hell and she's not even using the phone as much as before!!!

So i checked the battery history usage, and i've seen that the phone didn't sleep any second!!! :eek:

And we didn't install any new app!!!

What was sucking the battery is "UID 10108" which didn't allow the phone to sleep!

I have attached some screenshots, can anybody help me to solve this!?!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
I have some movies that I'd like to encode for playback on my Nexus One using Handbrake or some other type of freeware. What format is best to use with the Nexus One, that would give the best playback performance. I assume there must be some type of format that is natively supported, or hardware accelerated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
A google search should probably pull up that info, but I stopped worrying about that a long time ago. I just switched to Mobo Player and now never worry about encoding video. It will play anything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
So I assume from searching that MP4 is the preferred method of encoding, but what about the sound? Just looking for some more details on this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Well, mp4 is just a container. It doesn't tell you about the video nor the audio codec used in the video file. You can try recording a video and then viewing the codecs used in making that video.
[HTC Sensation] skater4690:
I currently have a g2x and love it and a rare one with no problems and am wondering if the sensation is a better choice it seems development is a lot bigger here than in the g2x and I would love more customization with my device. Any advice and experiences with both devices would be great. Honest opinions only please lol no picking sides! Just pure differences

[HTC Sensation] agentaaron:
My wife has a G2X that we ordered on launch day. Within minutes she had her first reboot. After about 3 days, I had the go ahead to replace the phone for new unit...but after reading around, I saw that many people were having the same issues, so I never bothered.

I ended up rooting it and playing with the roms that are available until I found something solid...she hasn't had any problems since then and loves many of the features that her vibrant did not have.

I don't think either one is a bad device...its all about personal preference really. But when you ask a question like this on a phone hacking website...I don't think you are going to get a real honest "end user" response
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
hes right, thats why i posted those threads...i never owned the g2x because of all its issues, but most of the sensation owners came from either the g2x or the HD2 (im a hd2 guy)

and the most common reasons were g2x had too many hardware issues, and the hd2 hardware was outdated.

either way, from my own research/experience, the sensation is so much better, and is only going to get better from now on, whereas the g2x is going to start getting stagnant from a dev perspective
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
I didn't have many problems with the g2x except for the screen bleed. Not really that much of a biggie since you can't see it unless you're in a pitch black room staring at a pitch black screen. Mine also never rebooted or had any of the other problems people were facing.

I swapped over to the S4g simply because I like phones, new phones that is.
[HTC Sensation] skater4690:
Thanks guys I'm gonna try to see if someone is willito do an even swap for my great g2x hope I get a good sensation as my g2x is perfect minus the lack of developement
[HTC Sensation] rb14:
I've had HTCs for years. Against my better judgement, and having read a million reviews, I went for the G2.

One word; absolutely diabolical (yes, I know).

It lasted about 48 hours and was offloaded quicker than I could say "noooooooo".

Now I have the Sensation and it's soooo much better. I know some people don't use it, but I really love the Sense interface.

Never again will I stray. Honest.
[HTC Sensation] steve841:
I had a G2x and after the fourth one ... they offered me the Sensation.

WILL NEVER OWN AN LG PRODUCT AGAIN.

The G2X line was defective. HTC Sensation is by far a better phone.
[HTC Sensation] pookguy88:
Unlike a lot of others here, I'll give a differing opinion.

I came from the G2x as well, and I gotta say I really liked it.

Now, the reason I switched to the Sensation is because I'm the the type who always wants the latest/greatest. My Android phone history (in order): Nexus One, Galaxy S, Nexus S, G2X, Sensation.

I was pleasantly surprised by the G2X, it was my first LG smartphone and it was pretty nice coming from the Nexus S. Build quality, IMO, was better than the Nexus S, felt nice in the hand and premium quality. Speaker was nice and loud and, unlike most phones, was actually on the bottom of the phone so that when you placed it down it didn't muffle the speaker. The screen was decent, not as nice as the Samsung AMOLEDs but I'd say comparable to the Sensation (besides resolution).

I really liked the user made app that made the soft keys blink as a notification because those soft key LEDs were super bright.

Also, CM development was/is alive and well on the G2X and I loved having CM on that phone (or any phone for that matter).

So, no I didn't get a lot of the problems other people have had with the G2x (e.g. the crashing, rebooting, etc.).
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
I come from the G2x and even though I really liked it, I think that the Sensation is a superior phone.

Love is a very strong word so I won't say that but I Really Really REALLY like the Sensation much more over the G2x may be because I just really enjoy Sense.

I feels production quality were the G2x I always felt it was pre production.

So if I had to recommend one of the two it would definitely be the Sensation.

Its kind of a blend of cm7 and Team Xrons. I took what I liked out if both of them while trying to maintain as much stock aosp as possible eg. no adw.
