Hi Guys,

Posting this in light of the new versions of the software that are out there now (I used search and the results are a bit outdated).

Device: Android based PNA (chinese 2 din), 700 MHz cpu with 256 MB RAM

OS: Modified version of Android 2.1 (a few things like bluetooth etc is blocked, Google Maps upgrade is blocked as it is set as a system application, currently has maps version 3.1 installed)

Map Requirement: Canada

Other Requirements: Software must run smoothly (not a resource hog), Traffic would be nice to have

Can you guys recommend which application I can buy for this slow device? I saw a lot of iGO floating around, not sure how I can buy it but I can research that part.

I tried co-pilot on my phone and seems like it requires a good cpu which this PNA does not have.

Is Sygic, NDrive or Navigon good alternative? Any recommendation is very helpul.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andysubie:
I bought my phone last night and it had XXKG1 firmware on it, but the phone was originally CLARO PR branded. If i want to go back to stock which firmware do i have to use.

I want to go back to stock because i got myselft stuck on boot screen an Odin doesn't seem to want to flash any firmwares after the process Nand Writing. I can't get in recovery, but i can easily get on download mode.

I already tried unistalling and reinstalling drivers, tried with different firmwares all of them seem to fail at the same process. I can still flash kernels but the phone won't pass the boot screen.

My last hope is to send someone fo a JTAG but i dont wanna pay 50 bucks because it isn't hard brick!

So Please help me!!

Okay i am running liquid thunderbread v2.6 and for some reason when i activate wireless tether the app in the setting activates as well and cancels wireless tether out so i have to manually set up a wifi connection each time. Is this a known issue or is there a fix for it. I was thinking maybe there was way to delete the stock tethering setting but havent found anything so far.

Thanks in advance for any tips tricks and help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trigster:
I've been having odd issues with any and all WiFi tether apps.

Like only v 2.0.7 of Wifi-Tether works for older devices such as my old Droid1 and such, but I cant enable WEP on it.

Now on Barnacle, I can use WEP and my iPad/laptop sees my phone, except my Droid1 and some other wifi devices cant see it.

And the latest version of Wifi-tether, doesn't work at all for my phone.

I'm running stock GB OTA update with revoked-root methahod.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferrumlan:
Hello! What is kernel, mode, script, radio?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The kernel is the core of the OS that allows software code to interface with hardware.

Don't know what you're talking about as far as "mode".

A script is something written in Linux command line to accomplish a VAST number of things. It can alter kernel settings (as I use one for that), or it can run various operations automatically and generate results... You can damn near program with a script.

The radio is the hardware that transmits and receives signals from other peripherals or a base station. In Android devices, the term "radio" typically refers to the firmware programmed into the hardware which allows the ROM to address the radio hardware.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferrumlan:
sorry not mode))) mod
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajmacd:
MOD is a modification. Could be as simple as a different battery indicator for your status bar or a completely revamped UI. Some MODs add new functionality, like a 4-in-1 boot menu.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferrumlan:
thanks please give me link to great mods ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
That would be impossible. There's hundreds if not thousands to do all manner of things to your phone and many of them are ROM-specific.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyuubi08:
one of the scripts that is friendly with all android phone is the v6 supercharger. its a memory mod that has been shown to increase phone performance. its working wonders on gingersense 3.5
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferrumlan:
how to install them all on PHONE?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Just do a search for "V6 supercharger" on XDA. Read the OP carefully. It's kind of an odd install, but it does tend to work. I believe he's optimized it for a deadline IO scheduler so it helps if your kernel supports that.

I did the HTC bootloader

Unlock method and

Now when I try to go to fastboot I get an update failed message and main version older...help plz
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
If you have a PG86IMG.zip file in the root of your sdcard, every time you boot into the bootloader, it will automatically scan the root of the sdcard for PG86IMG.zip files and attempt to load them.

It sounds like there is a PG86IMG.zip file on the root of your sdcard. The bootloader is scanning and attempting to load it but fails due to the PG86IMG.zip file being of an older version. (If you're on Sprint, most likely version an older version 1.11 or 1.13 while you're currently loaded with the latest 2.08 version).

If you remove the PG86IMG.zip file from the root of the sdcard, or rename, the error should disappear when booting into the bootloader.

Hope that helps!

[Off-topic] hiu115:
Samsung have undertaken less

than subtle ways to continue its

fight against Apple in Australia.

They’ve set up a temporary shop

in Sydney just outsides Apple’s

own shop and are offering

Samsung Galaxy S II droids for

$2.

ounds like a great deal, right? It

is, but there’s a catch. Even so,

the line to the Samsung store is

reportedly longer than the line to

Apple’s store. A line of people to

an Apple store is practically a

tradition when there’s a new

gadget from Cupertino about to

be launched, theiPhone 4S in this

case.

So, this is a dirty play from

Samsung trying to beat Apple at

their own game. But I mentioned

a catch – only 10 people a day

get a $2 Galaxy S II, the rest are

there waiting to get a chance

tomorrow or the day after that.

You can check out the whole

article over at the Muswellbrook

Chronicle, which also takes a look

at the line in front of the Apple

store and tells the touching tale of

two friends who met while

waiting in line for the iPad 2, who

are now waiting for an iPhone 4S

(and have tons of free time, I

suppose).

Anyway, this is a transparent

publicity stunt on Samsung’s part but still, getting a $2 Samsung

Galaxy S II is a great deal. Not a

lot of people will get lucky

though.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
iOS cannot be ported directly to this phone as Apple does not release the code for it so it cant be modified easily.

However, the MIUI ROM is quite popular and is made to look like iOS. That is a good option.

[General Questions and Answers] qwertyaas:
I want to pick up a SGSII and its cheaper over at Amazon. I was planning on doing a cross-upgrade (upgrade another line and use the phone on my line). Is this possible with Amazon as I will be cancelling the data plan on the upgraded line - however, the line will be active with just a regular calling plan?

Additionally, AT&T stated that they will extend a statement credit to my account once I put an upgrade through on any line. They shouldn't care where I upgrade (be it AT&T Corp or Amazon), correct?
[General Questions and Answers] rytymu:
cross-upgrade

Well I work for a kiosk in a Costco, and we would be able to do a cross in store. I would re-phrase the part about "canceling" the data plan on the eligible line or you will get flamed by the sales rep (LOL). Just say cross upgrade. I usually assume statement credits are only offered through AT&T customer care, however, if a sales rep tells you (over the phone) that you can upgrade wherever you like, make sure they "notate" it in the system. Costco's systems will not be able to read the notes, but it can be verified by phone.

What do you think, will the Google Nexus One get the love of Ice Cream Sandwich from Google officially?
[Nexus One General] Namuna:
If not from Google directly, I have no doubt someone at some point will ROM hack it for the Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] vzontini:
I wonder if the N1 will have enough system space to handle ICS initially. I'm sure someone will eventually figure out some sdcard trickery that will make it work either way. The sdcard on my Xoom with Honeycomb 3.2 works very differently than on the N1 and apps must use the Android MediaStore API to detect everything. My guess is there will be some app growing pains around this bit like there has been with the tablet apps.
[Nexus One General] Pouya Saadeghi:
Nexus S isn't much more powerful than Nexus One. Nexus S will get ICS, so nexus One too :)

XIAOMI anounced a few weeks ago they will launch a MIUI ICS, and will continue to provide support to other devices. ;)
[Nexus One General] spamlucal:
as of GRK39F /system has only 15MB available, so I don't think the N1 will get it officially. We'll have to wait to see if they can fit it in 145MB but I don't think so.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
They could have at least twice that amount of space to work with if they drop the frequently unwanted bundled apps like Twitter, Facebook, and Books. If I want them I know where to get them.

[Nexus One General] Kyoraki:
Just like to point out that that's not necessarily true. Google made the decision to further fragment the market by building an OS that is significantly larger and bloated than the one before it, instead of focusing on improving performance like past iterations. Unless we find out that ICS doesn't require a fancy GPU (shouldn't do, sense 3.0 runs fine on lower end hardware) then this could be a disaster for the mid to low end markets.
[Nexus One General] phoneguy 4567:
Looking at the specs of the first gen & even second gen Windows Phones they don't seem all that different from the N1, yet that OS runs smooth as silk on 'old hardware"
[Nexus One General] kausti:
I think this is kind of sad :( I though Google would supply the latest version for at least two years. I mean, even iPhone 3G still gets the latest iOS and it is like... a year older than the N1?

Kind of dissapointed 'bout this :(
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
Also we will never have a 100% stable and bug free ROM since we won't have the source code. Guess it is time to move on
[Nexus One General] phoneguy 4567:
^^^

Has Google or any other OEM been able to produce a 100% stable ROM? I haven't come across anything that's 100% stable or bug free.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
iPhone 3G is useless with iOS 4 or above. It slows down to a crawl.

You wouldn't such thing to be done as ICS for Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] RMerlin:
Key word here in that quote is "probably". It's not "certainly" or "definitely".

And the reason for lack of official ICS support is a technical one, not a management or marketing decision. Google didn't say "no" just to annoy us, obviously. It's been pointed out before it's because of the system partition size issue. And backing up to SD, repartitioning and restoring through an automated process is NOT practical or safe from a mass-market point of view. 1) Not everyone has a large enough SD, with enough free space for a full nandroid-like backup 2) If something fails during the repartitioning, the enduser has zero way to recover from it. And a lot more can go wrong during such a complex operation than during a simple OTA update.

I believe there's a good chance that third party devs will be able to make it work, because they will target advanced users, who will be skilled enough (hopefully) to manually complete the procedure that would allow the upgrade to ICS. They can either resize the partition (?), or remove unneeded bits such as the Amazon MP3 app and such.

I'm as disappointed as everyone else, but I haven't given hope that we could still see ICS on the Nexus One, one way or another.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
What? Ice Cream Sandwich will be released to AOSP.

[Nexus One General] thealphamale05:
Maybe it is time to get off the n1? I'm still loving it myself and mostly because of the amount of 3ed party ROMS available, ICS will just be another one of these ROMS i've got under /sdcard/download.
[Nexus One General] CCpotter:
Sure they will be. I think that's cutest part of a hacker LOL
[Nexus One General] Teeceman:
It seems to me that one of the disappointments about the N1 is that it probably never realised its full potential.

It was reportedly quoted by Google's Eric Tseng back in 2010 on the Android Police site the following:

"there were many secrets left in the Nexus One that we would discover later"

I wonder how true that statement was or is.

The Nexus one seems to be a very capable phone, Google would seem to have lost the love for it if with all the army of software engineers they could not produce an optimised ICS firmware to run on its current developers phone.
[Nexus One General] hsrn:
since fm radio and wlan 802.11n could be enabled via custom roms it has been proven to be true
[Nexus One General] phoneguy 4567:
The N1 stopped being a mass market device pretty early on in its product life-cycle, if it ever was one to begin with. Non over the air updates are very common, & if certain requirements have to be met for the update to take place they can be communicated to the user. The dangers of updating can also be pointed out, leaving it up to the individual to decide whether to proceed or not.
[Nexus One General] :
I hope they at least let the drivers/libs out into the wild if they are needed.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Reference or it didn't happen.
[Nexus One General] The Gurgler:
Glad I sold my N1 when I did. There will be still be good community ROMs for the N1 regardless. It seems clear to me that if there are still any hold outs that haven't rooted their N1 now you have nothing to lose. Stuff like this is exactly why it is a good choice choosing a device that has good community support.

[Nexus One General] Ryanmo5:

[Nexus One General] mattman83:
It won't happen because htc don't do the software for the N1 - google does.
[Nexus One General] RMerlin:
As an IT professional, let me tell you a few things about the average modern user:

1) They can't read instructions, no matter how short and simple you make them. I'm involved with a hardware homebrew firmware project myself, and our dev team gets many users every weeks asking questions that are clearly answered in that esoteric file called README inside the zip file... And this is a project that targets a more tech-savvy crowd than a public firmware release such as what you are asking Google to do.

2) If it involves anything but clicking on a single "OK" button, they _WILL_ screw it up, somehow. If there are two choices, they will blindly click the button nearest to their mouse pointer.

3) You have to be prepared with dealing with supporting your customers who screwed up, or are too lazy to read the instructions.

Point 1 means just describing the manual procedure won't help.

Point 2 means people either won't try, or they will, and quite a few of them will brick their phone

Point 3 means Google would have to devote time, money and resources in supporting customers of a device that is nearly two years old already, and has already been superceded by not one, but two generations.

When you are a commercial company that releases a mass market electronic device and needs to handle firmware updates, you have to ask yourself that question: would your mom and dad be able to do it themselves, without your assistance, and with no risk of turning their device into a brick? If not, then don't release it, and let the community handle it, as the community will target the more skilled portion of your userbase, and they won't have to risk facing lawsuits due to users ruining their device.
[Nexus One General] jmollabi:
and your point is?
[Nexus One General] paesan:
Great comment!!!. Being an advanced PC user I have to be the so called in house tech support guy for my family, relatives and friends. I find it amazing when they run in to a problem and I ask did you read the "read me" file, they always answer no. I can't help but get pissed at them becuase they make no effort.

Now, I could care less if Google updates the N1 with ICS because I would use a custom rom anyway. Google would have a nightmare scenario on their hands trying to support all the inept lazy users.
