[Acer Iconia A500] willyampz:
Anyone know how I can keep GPS running all the time? Specifically, when I use google maps to show me traffic status, if I switch away from it to open another app, the gps stops. Then when I bring it back, the gps has to sync up again, which takes 20 sec usually. I'd like to just keep it going whenever I am in the car. If you use google naviation for directions, the GPS is kept on, but not for just maps.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
this is the most annoying thing about the tablet I don't like. ESP when it takes about 10 mins to get a fix again. I'm about to do the fix that makes its go faster. But still. I want a GPS that stays on when I want it to. ESP since I have a car charger and battery life isn't a prob......

Anyone have an answer for this?
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
I take it your A500 is tethered or your using a 3g dongle when your out and about if your getting google realtime Traffic...Make sure you have -use wireless networks- (Location determined by wi-fi) in Settings checked and you should get traffic even with -use gps satellites- turned off. Just a theory and haven't tested it in the field, but here at home with gps turned off it seems to work fine and shows realtime traffic.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
i don't use 3g. I have a bunch of offline map apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
use something like co-pilot or one of the other top gps apps.. google maps never has worked correctly on my tablet.. the above problem as well as many other ones.. And it sucks battey life. guess if you have it plugged in thats not a issue..

You can also d/load gps status.. and in the settings there is something that will KEEP YOUR GPS on at all times.. .

GOOD LUCK

erica_renee-

Have you tried ActiveTraffic in co-pilot....I see a free 14 day trial available in the app, but never tried it.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
co-pilot active traffic Lou. Kentucky is great

YES .. i tried it for the 14 day trial.. But I ONLY Have a a500. and i do not keep it tethered to my phone all the time.. IT does work well in my city.On The co-pilot forms its hit and miss from what i have read.So if you are tethered or 501 activated 3g.. I Would give it a try. the Interface is awesome.Co-Pilot has the most up to date maps of any gps i have used.. even better then the QCOM . That we have in our company vans..

So i say give it a try or ask in the c0- pilot user forum on ALKs web site..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GabeWoah:
I am trying to flash my bionic because I deleted a system file by accident. However when my phone is in Fastboot, RSD Lite won't recognize it. I have the option to uncompress and flash while my phone is turned on normally but when it gets to the Fastboot mode, RSD Lite says that its a FAIL because it was unable to boot in to Fastboot. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?

Oh and i got LG P500 Optimus one
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkalen:
Just google it and find the version which fit our screen size(320x480)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RockR172:
come on dude... treat your phone as a phone... not a PSP...

our phone is a low range phone with quite low hardware specs... so no matter what you try to do... such games wont run... ok, i know some of those superficial guys have managed to run these games on our phone, but its not possible...

Still, i wish you ALL THE BEST...

do post if you somehow manage to run it, perfectly fitting our screen and running without any lag... :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Gremaldin:
When I first tried to play NFS Shift (another HD game), it didn't work. So I downloaded the version that fits our screen (320x480) and now it works perfectly. Just google for it and if you're lucky you can find a link to the required version. I wasn't able to find a version that works on our phone for asphalt 6, but asphalt 5 works fine.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PriStol:
Wow this forum rocks :D 3 comments in like 10-15 min. Awesome.

Well, I saw alot of people that running N.O.V.A on this phone so i thought its like usuall... Now that you tell me its not I guess its ok... I will try to search for a 320X480 that fits LG p500. I will post here if i succeed.

Srry for bad english here. Not my first language xD

out of all these,

NFS Shift, Real Football and Modern Combat seem to work... i have run them.. dunno bout assasins creed and asphalt 5... but those are not those "Heavy Games"... also, GT Racing HD works...

try running Avatar and games like that....

but our device is not actually meant for gaming and so when you compare the performance ofthese games with those high end devices, you will see the diference... :cool:

But one more question(or more lol), How do I install data files? I think i know but just to be sure.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
copy the apk file to sd card

open using file manager(OI,ASTRO,ES file explorer's)

and install

assuming that's what you meant :confused:

and the cache(additional data in case of nova)

save in

sd card->gameloft->games

@ anyone

Dunt post warez as is xda forum rules... If u want the games supported hvga or optimus one... Search it! Like 'Nova hvga' or 'Nova for x8' or 'NFS Shift for optimus one'...

For those having problems with nfs shift... Install the latest v1.0.7 and download data via wifi or 3g...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitrius:
Is it possible to keep the screen powered for as long as am using the applications? Kinda troublesome that it keeps turning it self off in games or Google maps for example when am actively using them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan_Belarus:
"Screen On" tool on Market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitrius:
Thanks i'll check it out. Though a question, is it normal for the Galaxy S2 to turn the screen of when running games and such? Had a Desire before, and am not 100% sure, but i got the feeling that when it played games and such the screen stayed on... Thought maybe that was an built in feature, it's okay for the screen to turn off when your doing some light usage, but when playing games those tend to take up a lot of resources, which should tell the phone that the screen needs to be on in some way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan_Belarus:
Yep, it's normal. Use screen on :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bloomfield87:
There's a permission that games/apps can use that keeps the screen on. I'd imagine that if they don't request this at install time that they're unable to do this as the phone won't allow it to stop battery drain.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trapzz:
i'm unlocked and rooted on my htc inspire 4g. and i'm running virtuous unity ROM.. is it possible to use Straight Talk on my already rooted phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Please post all question in the Q&A forums. We have gone through this already. A little research would have told you what you wanted to know. This being that once a phone is unlocked as long as you have the proper settings/apns and the phone supports the network bands that you want to use then yes you can use it on just about any GSM network.

I am looking to buy out of my contract because I still have a year left and I am about to incur some expenses that I couldn't have anticipated when I first signed it...

Has anybody managed to flash this over to the MVNO?

I suppose I wouldn't be too disappointed with the Motorola Triumph that they have now, as long as it's been rooted, I just don't want to drop another wad of cash on another phone.

Sent from my Gingerbread using my Dream
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
For rooting, check the wiki for the guide to do so; for kernels, check the sticky in the dev forum (though pushing an 800Mhz CPU to 2Ghz is never going to be fully stable); as for the DZ Hboot, I've never worked with it so you'd have to do some research on pros/cons.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karakoram2:
You can downgrade -- there is a nice guide I think I was just reading by sethario

Tiamet kernal (pretty sure I saw someone clocking that high with that)

For sense 3.5 I believe people are using unity kernal v9

hi guys,

I must say I'm very very very impressed with my aankr batteries I got from ebay.

with the stock battery, (lastest insertcoin rom)

battery would drain 7~8 % on light use.

bit better on cyanogen mod but prefer Sense over anything else.

got 2 ankrs yesterday

fully charged (first cycle)

battery drain is significantly better.

2% per hour on light use ( some music, podcasts, as before with the stock battery)

I think everyone should get one of these.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] w5cyc:
Just got a Nexus S a couple of days ago and so far I'm loving the pure vanilla. But I am having an odd problem with Tasker, which I used extensively on my previous Evos. When I set up the profile to rotate custom MP3 ringtones using Tasker, what I'm finding on the Nexus is that Tasker doesn't actually mute or replace the default ringer like it did on my other phones. So when I get a call, I hear two ringtones: the default, and Tasker's MP3. I fixed that issue by simply assigning "silent" as the phone's default ringtone. But something still isn't right, because if I choose to decline a call by using the slider button, Tasker doesn't cut off the MP3 ringer right away. I still hear the entire 25-30 second clip, even if I decline the call five seconds after the clip starts. I've thought about changing the trigger from "phone ringing" to the state "incoming call" to see if that makes a difference, but I rotate about 15 different ringtones, and setting up those profiles takes some time. Is there something funky about Tasker's integration with the Nexus that I haven't researched yet?
