try to install these novacom drivers:

http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-coding/278224-universal-novacom-installer-uni-v1-2-1-a.html

if you hold the power button and push 10 times the middle button it will make a reboot.

try to get into developer mode by pushing power up and volume up, maybe now it will recognize. what did webos doc say? what happens?

the flashing of the middle button happened to me often.if you charge your hp touchpad it should be gone.
[TouchPad General] zexionluv:
Hey thanks.

The novacom driver I've installed that with WebOSQuickInstall though trying to enter recovery mode doesn't work as webos doc doesn't allow me to click next. The holding the power button and pushing 10 times the middle button seems to work kinda.. It shows a quick low battery image and shut off.. <strike>I'll try giving it another 30 min of charge and try again then..
[TouchPad General] jlove:
;)

good luck.
[TouchPad General] zexionluv:
Over an hour have passed now. The screen can turn on now with holding power or wall charging.. It has stopped accepting charges from computer and asked for usb/adapter change. I don't see the battery power bar going up at all. Though I can't boot in OS.. I've tried WebOS Doc and still the same problem where the next is grey out.

I'm thinking it's software probs not hardware related for the battery..
[TouchPad General] jlove:
Let it charge full if possible, can you get into developer mode? have you installed the drivers from the link i have given? do you use the usb cable from hp?
[TouchPad General] zexionluv:
I'm not sure how long it'll take to fully charge but I've been charging for 1 hour and I don't see the battery bar advancing. I'll leave it on for 3 hours to charge.. I unno.. I can't get into developer mode, I have installed the drivers you gave me and I do use the usb cable from hp. I'm unable to boot up the HP logo..

http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/Erogiz/capture_003_18102011_091241.jpg

With out being able to install the driver I can't enter recover mode right? I've tried uninstalling it and plug it in.

I couldn't sleep last night not because of the tablet.. But I'm off to bed.. I'll check back when I wake up.
[TouchPad General] jlove:
deinstall the palm drivers, reboot the pc and reinstall them,

then press power and volume up on your touchpad untill it is schown in windows. then i would do this:

go to the palm directory in program files in windows. copy the attached file i send you to this directory. ( unpack it first )

then start cmd in windows. go to the directory of palm. i hope you know some dos commands. ( cd c:\program files\ palm, inc\ ) and typ:

novacom boot mem:// <nova-installer-image-topaz.uImage

this should boot up novacom driver in your hp touchpad. and now webosdoctor should find it.

hope this will work

;)
[TouchPad General] zexionluv:
.... Your right let it fully charge... duh me... CHEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRSSSSSSS! i panic too much... it just means kinda a lot...
[TouchPad General] jlove:
so it booted?

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronixlol:
I realize galaxy 3 isn't exactly the top phone for performance but god damn the lag just melts my face off.

Phone starts ringing, screen lights up but remains black for up to 10 seconds before I can answer, menus lag like a mofo and overall it's a pain to use. Is there anything I can do?

I'm on non-oc Kyrillos' rom v7 atm.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satishynd:
why not try other rom or an updated version of Kyrillos?

.. Kyrillos 8.1 is out.. try that

you are on 7 na so.. try other custom ROM's for better performance..

this might solve your problem :)

CyanogenMod 6.2 is blazing but now i prefer CyanogenMod 7. Both are in alpha stage though and have a lot to fix.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackyx007:
If you want a stable fast rom that is fully working, I recommend either Kyrillos v8 or Dutchmod v4.1

For a super fast rom i prefer indroid 5.2 (version 6 seems to be a bit slowwer and some FC once an a while so :) )
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohnishgs:
i used to use kyrrilos rom but once i tried kyorarom, i found it to be much better(both fast and stable)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umangsagar:
Most of the ROMs mentioned above are very good.

Cynogen 7 and 6.2 are still in WIP phase, so I would suggest you not to use it if you want to use it for daily purpose at this point in time, once completed, they would be the best thing around without a doubt.

At this point in time you may try DutchMod 4.1 or Kyrillos 8.1 or Indroid's latest with the G3Mod or fugu Kernel. Partition your card properly, convert partition properly, use SetCPU and set profiles properly. This should ensure you get good performance out of your phone.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronixlol:
Thanks for the replies altho I already flashed Kyorarom yesterday and so far it's been smoother than ever.
[HTC EVO 3D] Thaxx:
I just did the HTC unlock method and flashed clean ROM's latest developer ROM and my Wimax says "failed to start" and my wifi just says "error"

...try it and answer it yourself (:
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
There is one issue here with two potential methods having triggered the one issue. I keep answering this over and over so I should do a better job of documenting these posts.

The kernel loaded and running, on the boot partition, has to match the modules loaded on the system partition. If the kernel or the modules become mismatched, i.e. first method: a custom kernel is loaded but the matching modules are not, or second method: custom modules are loaded but the kernel is not, WiFi and WiMAX will not work. WiFi and WiMAX are both loaded through modules stored in /system/lib/modules/.

HTC unlock method does NOT unlock write access to the boot partition when booted into recovery mode. HTC unlock method only unlocks write access to the boot partition under three circumstances:

1) Booted in normal android mode - can use my Flash Image GUI app to flash a kernel and load modules. My application does both correctly prevening this mismatch issue.

2) Through fastboot booting the custom recovery, not to be confused with fastboot flashing the custom recovery. The correct command is: fastboot boot recovery.img instead of the incorrect commands: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or fastboot flash boot recovery.img. This is an engineering "feature" HTC programmed into their unlock method. These create the second method listed above, a custom ROM is loaded which copies over the custom modules but the custom kernel is not allowed to be flashed because the custom recovery was installed/operated incorrectly.

3) Booted into the bootloader/hboot - having the bootloader flash a kernel through PG86IMG.zip or using fastboot flash boot boot.img (this method makes it difficult to install the WiFi and WiMAX modules as it only loads the kernel, modules have to be copied over to /system/lib/modules separately)

Hope that helps!

RE:

You can't send files via Bluetooth on a WP7 device no matter the manufacturer.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikacz:
this is such a small feature present in mobile phones for almost a decade, why do you guys think it's such a problem to implement it in modern OSs?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I'm pretty sure it's not a "problem" so much as MS didn't see it as being worth doing. On other phones, bluetooth file transfer is a work-around for not having Internet access. Since WP7 has Internet access, I guess they decided that the benefit of BT file transfer wouldn't be worth the development cost of implementing it.

That said, you're not the only one who wants this feature - if nothing else, it would be a handy way to have a WP7 device communicate with a "feature-phone" that can't get email or browse the web.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphasaic2002:
So how do I transfer a large (100MB) video to my friend's phone via "internet access" on WP7? This is typically the the most common situation BT file transfer is useful for.

Genuine question; please let me know step by step.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Go to camera; choose menu->Share.. , select SkyDrive. But it takes time of course...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Alternatively, sync it to your PC, upload to YouTube or similar, and send them a link.

Or just put it on a flashdrive (after syncing), hand it to them, and have them sync it to their phone.

Awkward any way you go about it, agreed. Most of WP7's sharing features aren't intended for files that big (email, MMS, etc.). The funny thing is that Zune (hardware) actually has the built-in ability to send such files via WiFi, but it seems that WP7 doesn't.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lekhwani:
I believe you can go to windows phone seven via Bluetooth file transfer and select download.

Edit: you can't do it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kopacha:
The truth is simple - IT SHOULD BE implemented by Microsoft. It's not necessary to follow the "Book Of Apple" so close and straight. It doesn't cost anything to Microsoft to release it as a patch or a minor update, and yet they are not doing it yet... i hope they will listen (lately it was one of the most requested feature on their User opinion and requests site) to us.

It's all about a OBEX push driver and a access to the isolated storage. It's THAT simple. Same goes for the iDevices, but their simple stubbornness is so known for years now.

So i think, MS should differentiate strongly, from them.

I have a problem lately and its getting worse. After using the internet for a little while and then exiting Samsung's Twlauncher always restarts... It very annoying but i could live with that.

A couple of days ago i installed Chaton and now everytime i send or recieve a message, launcher restarts and its becoming very annoying! I know its a memory problem but this never happened prior to installing Gingerbread.

Anyone having same problem? BTW i have stock firmware without any root or modification.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtluis:
what rom are you guys using? any custom kernels or lagfixes on this rom or previous one?

You could try Go Launcher EX, I liked it a lot.

Additionally, you could try using a root explorer and browse /dbdata/databases and erase the folders for the launcher you are using, sometimes this fixes problems with apps not working correctly.

Did you backed up your launcher with Titanium backup or similar and then restored data and app? This causes problems when restoring data and not just app.

Hello fellow XDA members

Although i have just signed up ive found this website a godsend and full of quality posts.

All was well with my phone (galaxy s 2) and i flashed litening 6.1 (yes i know its not being updated, i think its nicely themed) and tegrak lulz kernel.

I ran into a major problem that occured RANDOMLY about 4 days after the rom flash. the phone DOESNT find my Crazy Johns simcard, only tells me it a vodaphone one, not letting me make any calls/data! :mad::( it also doesnt let me make a password for my lockscreen

Ive tried the following:

-reinstall liteningrom 6.1

-removed battery and sim

-changed to villianrom 3.0

[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Hello!

Does anyone know where the maps of Locations are stored in the device, in our HTC Desire S?

Every time I flash a new ROM, I have to redownload the maps.
[HTC Desire S] aktivitet:
I would guess:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/

If not it should be here:

/data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
No, that is where the google maps data is...

The HTC Locations maps are stored in sdcard\.data\navigator\Data\Maps

They get erased out everytime you wipe data, and thats why you have to redownload them. Take a backup and then restore after flashing a new ROM. Should work without a problem.

Just check it out and let me know if you think i'm wrong.

Hope this Helps.
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Thanks, I found them at that location.

I noticed that, each time I change (or upgrade) the ROM, I have to download again the maps despite that the sdcard content should remain untouched.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Let's try an experiment!

Same here.

The folders with "." prefix are susceptible to ROM manipulation and the best known example is .android_secure, which gets wiped everytime you flash a new ROM. Even when you backup your ROM, you'll notice that one of the last steps is "backing up .android_secure" which is actually located on the SD card!

So i'm pretty sure when the ROM is setting up the new data, it does so in the .data folder (which gets wiped during a new ROM flash) where our maps are stored.

So i guess next time we flash a ROM we should go into that folder and see if the maps have been deleted before downloading them again.

If they are indeed gone, lets restore from our backup (on pc) and see if it works.

I'll keep you posted on this thread and vice versa and see if this theory works.

Deal?

EDIT: Read above again. Did some more thinking...
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
;) OK! ;)

Anyway, I think I will make a backup copy of the directory maps.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Same here. Took a backup. I hope this works... its really irritating having to download 300+ mb after every flash!!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
300+ MB?

I've downloaded the map of Italy (565MB) and France (833MB) for a total amount of about 1,4GB !!! :D
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Well, i'm a little underprivileged here and get the entire map of India for just 372 Mb or so. :mad:

I dont really use it because i use Sygic Aura for navigation, but i like to have the maps just for the sake of that "Completeness" feeling. Do i hear OCD ? :D

Lol...
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
LOL

Me too! :D

What is OCD?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The preoccupation to have everything set up exactly the same way all the time... Google it.

Or watch the fantastic movie "As Good as it Gets" - Jack Nicholson at his best!!

Cheers.

P.S. It was just a joke. I'm perfectly normal. (Just that the wife disagrees!) :D
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
hahaha! :D

I thought it was something technical! :D

I use google every minute! :D
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. i.e. all you homescreen icons HAVE to match your theme or the world just aint right. :D

I'd not worry too much about the Google Maps caching issue. Any time now Nokia (who have climbed into bed with Windows Mobile) are going to start releasing their new devices. Nokia are bringing their Ovi Maps to the party. I had this on my Nokia 5800 a couple of years ago and it is very good. All off-line navigation for free.

Google (if they have any sense) are just waiting for this to launch, then they'll flip a switch which lets Google Maps data stay on your phone. Take that Nokia! :p

Heard rumour about this on engadget months ago. Would make perfect sense for them to time it to spoil Nokia's party. Can't have the competition start trumping your famous Navigation software!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Cheers to that!!!:D

Gotta feel sad for Nokia though. Oh how the mighty fall!

They're but a shadow of what they used to be... and could have been...

Fond memories of days gone by and what Symbian used to mean. Sigh...
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
If you flash different rom versions you will have to redownload your maps. I.E 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 and vice versa.
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
If you talk about android versions there is no problem. I was coming from another 2.3.5 Android ROM.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I have to disagree.

Even though i havent changed my Android version for a long time now (I've been on 2.3.5 for the last 7-8 ROMs i've flashed) i still have to download the maps everytime i flash a new ROM (clean install, not upgrade).

I'm sure that's also the case with fbcyborg. Right?

It's not just a matter of changing Android versions.... every data wipe causes you to lose maps.

With every single clean install (with full wipe) you will lose the maps, no matter what android or sense version you flash, be it same or different...

So backup the contents of the folder i mentioned in my previous post and restore after flashing a new ROM. That's the only solution.
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes! That's just what I meant in my previous post. As far as I can understand, the full wipe, cleans both /data and /sdcard/.data.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I think so too!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
It worked!!

Hey, fbcyborg, my theory regarding maps storage was correct!!

Just tested it out when upgrading a ROM.

After setting up, i downloaded locations and then it warned me there were no maps available and asked me to download. Instead of doing that, i put the phone in usb drive mode and went to the navigator folder in .data and there were no maps in the maps folder.

So i copy pasted the map i had backed up from the same folder previously, and viola!! Locations working flawlessly!!

Hope this saves you downloading 1.4 Gigs of maps everytime from now on!!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Woow!

GREAT! Thanks a lot for the information! The next time I will restore the maps on the SD Card for sure instead of downloading them all!

By the way, somewhere I read that it is possible to download only the map for the current region, but I could download two maps: Italy and France. What do they intend for region? Europe in this case?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I don't think thats the case. I think you can download maps of wherever you want to... I haven't tested it myself yet (nand backup in progress...:p) but if you go to locations>get more> it gives you option to download maps from different continents and then in the sub-menu, from various countries... I don't think you're restricted to one region!

Will test this theory shortly...Am handicapped currently. Why don't you try it out in the meantime? Do post the results.
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
I've just tried to download the map of Singapore. No problem.

Maybe this limitation is only for Stock ROMs.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Awesome!!

Glad we figured this out. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
The last time I flashed a new ROM I restored the backup and, as expected, no problem!

By the way: the only thing that seems to not work is the voice. The voice is installed, but I cannot hear anything when in directions mode.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Voices are not included in the .cmap backup.

Maybe you can just download new voices when you set up the new ROM.

They're small files, and you got to download locations anyway, so shouldn't be as big a problem as having to download a couple of GBs worth of maps!!

Cheers. :)
